<GERMATOID> I SAW SAILOR MOON DO SOMETHING INTERESTING WITH THE 7 BALLZ
welcome to #suburbansenshi2
[11:07] <Matsuo Shin> another mind?
[11:07] <Uzume> !yai
[11:07] Wisdom from the Book of Yai:
[14:22] * Yaijinden buries his head in the sand
[11:07] <Kusanagi> I live, she lives, the dragon is our magic.
[11:07] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> NOT HELPING YAI
[11:08] <Matsuo Shin> (( I claim this log in the name of apologies and trying to create a better image :( ))
[11:08] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Well, we need to get you back on the mend.
[11:08] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> that should be step one.
[11:08] <Kusanagi> Where is our host in all this?
[11:08] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Step two... figure out how to overtax her mind.
[11:08] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Do you mean ...Shaldra?
[11:09] <Kusanagi> When I spoke to the dragon I realized it.
[11:09] <Matsuo Shin> that is a good point...
[11:09] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium frowns deeply. He'd been proceeding from a flawed assumption.
[11:09] <Kusanagi> She carries all our magic.
[11:09] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> I'd assumed the lot of you were an interlocking puzzle that would form her.
[11:09] <Kusanagi> It's a staggering amount. But it is not our host.
[11:09] <Kusanagi> I do not know.
[11:10] <The Actuary> ....
[11:10] <Matsuo Shin> ...
[11:10] <The Actuary> /em lood very sad
[11:10] * The Actuary looks very sad
[11:10] <The Actuary> I really haven't found her, then.
[11:10] <The Actuary> Not properly.
[11:11] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Noriko. I have a feeling we will have to.
[11:11] <Kusanagi> When we watched the world end.
[11:11] <Kusanagi> All those years back.
[11:11] * The Actuary listens
[11:11] <Uzume> /me watches all this.
[11:11] <Kusanagi> Something tore at us. It kept pieces. It's why we fell apart.
[11:11] * Uzume watches all this
[11:11] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium puts on his SUPER SHINY GLASSES so his eyes can't be read
[11:12] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Was it Mania?
[11:12] <Kusanagi> No. I do not know.
[11:12] <Kusanagi> The world is odd.
[11:12] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> I've blamed her since my memories started coming back.
[11:12] <Kusanagi> The universe kept parts. Things we did and did not do.
[11:12] * Matsuo Shin frowns deeply
[11:13] <Kusanagi> But not enough to keep us whole.
[11:13] <The Actuary> The universe...
[11:13] <The Actuary> Could she be a horror terror?
[11:13] <Matsuo Shin> it must have done so for a reason....
[11:13] <The Actuary> Do we need to retrieve those parts?
[11:13] * Kusanagi slumps down tiredly.
[11:13] <Uzume> What's a HorrorTerror?
[11:13] <Kusanagi> I am sorry, I must rest.
[11:13] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Sorry. Go rest.
[11:13] * mango-san is bored.
[11:13] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> We'll do our best.
[11:14] * mango-san gets her fishing pole
[11:14] <spiritflame> mango-san rolls 1d10 [ 7 ]
[11:14] <The Actuary> A neverwhere... a person who was written out of existence by a shift in time.
[11:14] <spiritflame> mango-san rolls 1d3 [ 1 ]
[11:14] <The Actuary> But they
[11:14] <The Actuary> The ghosts are reappearing.
[11:14] * mango-san gets another manslave
[11:14] <mango-san> @_@
[11:15] <Uzume> Maybe we should go rest, Kusanagi.
[11:15] <spiritflame> mango-san rolls 1d10 [ 3 ]
[11:15] <Kusanagi> Yes.
[11:15] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> I promise. We'll do right by her this time.
[11:15] * Kusanagi topples forward and fades out before she hits the ground.
[11:15] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium sighs deeply.
[11:15] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> "I contain multitudes..."
[11:16] <The Actuary> Whitman.
[11:16] <Matsuo Shin> I don't like this
[11:16] <Matsuo Shin> I don't like this at all
[11:16] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Yup.
[11:16] <Uzume> :<
[11:16] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Nor I, Matsuo.
[11:16] * Uzume is away: finding Kusa
[11:16] * mango-san yawns
[11:16] * mango-san rolls off
[11:16] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> It looks like there's yet another factor in all this. And time's running out.
[11:16] *** mango-san [mango.san@fractures.[REDACTED]] has left #suburbansenshi2 (If you give that fuckin' nimrod fifteen hundred dollars, I'm gonna shoot him on general principles. )
[11:16] <The Actuary> But we learned something.
[11:17] <Matsuo Shin> there's somthing about this....
[11:17] <The Actuary> She's holding that realm together. She made it.
[11:17] <Matsuo Shin> something that's gnawing at the back of my head
[11:17] <The Actuary> That is a big point of weakness.
[11:17] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> But it also means she has absolute sway in there.
[11:17] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> What's wrong Matsuo?
[11:18] <The Actuary> If she feeds on power...
[11:18] <The Actuary> We need a very weak, but very irritating force.
[11:18] <The Actuary> Like mosquitoes.
[11:18] <Matsuo Shin> ..this is too easy
[11:19] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Oh?
[11:19] <Matsuo Shin> think about it
[11:20] <Matsuo Shin> we've been doing alot of hunting for clues.....and finding answers
[11:20] <Matsuo Shin> ....why has the enemy been so quiet
[11:20] <The Actuary> What we know: She's a parasite that absorbs power and has no upper limit in a realm of her own devising who is waiting for our moves because she...
[11:20] <The Actuary> Because, Matsuo...
[11:20] <The Actuary> I think she's struck.
[11:20] <The Actuary> ^stuck
[11:20] <The Actuary> She can open and close cracks.
[11:21] <The Actuary> She can corrupt minds and send out henchmen...
[11:21] <The Actuary> But I don't think she can properly leave herself.
[11:21] <Matsuo Shin> that's what worries me though.....how can we be sure what we're doing is the answer...
[11:21] <Matsuo Shin> or are we playing into her hands
[11:21] <The Actuary> Not permanently anyway.
[11:21] <Matsuo Shin> ever since last night..I'm beginning to doubt
[11:21] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> It's all a massive risk.
[11:21] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> What SI certain in life.
[11:21] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> ^IS
[11:21] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Things can be torn away from you in an instant.
[11:22] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> You can only do your best.
[11:22] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> That's it, really.
[11:22] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> There's no guarantee of anything, ever.
[11:23] <The Actuary> At some point we will commit ourselves to a path.
[11:23] <The Actuary> We will either stand or fall.
[11:23] <The Actuary> Or stalemate.
[11:23] <Matsuo Shin> that doubt is creeping into my spirit again....
[11:23] <The Actuary> The most we can do is prepare as best we can.
[11:23] <Matsuo Shin> it's been infecting my entire family now...
[11:24] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> But not knowing if you can actually win is kind of exciting, don't you think?
[11:24] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Forces one to really sharpen the mind.
[11:26] * Matsuo Shin winces as a glass at the bar shatters
[11:26] <Matsuo Shin> ...I just don't know
[11:27] * Matsuo Shin is away: *goes outside*
[11:28] <The Actuary> Don't lie, father. You'd prefer if we could just find One-Punch Man.
[11:29] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Heh. Well.
[11:29] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> It would lower my blood pressure significantly, that's for sure.
[11:29] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> But we don't have that luxury this time.
[11:34] <The Actuary> I wanted to leave this all to Neminix.
[11:34] <The Actuary> But I can't, can I.
[11:34] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> She's a clever girl, that one.
[11:35] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Don't push her out.
[11:35] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> We still need a lot of help.
[11:40] <The Actuary> I won't.
[11:42] * The Actuary is away: I have work I need to do, the rest of the universe still has problems-- that hasn't stopped because of this.
[11:43] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium takes off his glasses and rubs his eyes
[11:43] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Anyway. That went well.
[11:48] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium stretches

[11:49] <@Texas_Samurai> Ah guess this place needs a sweepin'.
[11:49] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> I thought the Typo-Daemons ate the dust or something.
[11:49] <@Texas_Samurai> Creepy lil' critters.
[11:49] * @Texas_Samurai leans on Th' Doc.

[11:52] * Nelius Raoul enters the Lobby from upstairs, making certain to nail a few Box-fail demons to the wall.
[11:52] <Nelius Raoul> Hey Doc, Sunrise.
[11:52] <@Texas_Samurai> Call me 'Gemini' :D
[11:52] <@Texas_Samurai> It's Mah sis who likes t'be called 'Sunrise'

[11:56] * Kanri-chan runs downstairs and hops on nelius's shoulder "MORNING~"

[11:59] <Nelius Raoul> I'm thinkin' those two had the right idea. Food?
[11:59] <Kanri-chan> yush please!
[12:01] * Kanri-chan pokes her finger into nelius's thick hair curiously "hey nelius? why's yuhr hair so thick?"
[12:02] <Nelius Raoul> Never really bothered to have it cut. It kept my demon ears from being seen-- awfully handy when you need to blend in and gather info.
[12:02] <Kanri-chan> demon ears??
[12:03] <Kanri-chan> i thought yuh had regular tiny ears
[12:03] <Nelius Raoul> Nope.
[12:03] <Kanri-chan> yuhr ears are different like mine?
[12:04] * Nelius Raoul pulls some of his hair back, revealing a pointed ear underneath.
[12:04] * Kanri-chan reaches out to poke it
[12:05] <Nelius Raoul> It's pretty much like any other ear out there-- frames my face, lets me hear things.
[12:08] <Nelius Raoul> But enough about auditory reception-- there's food to be had.
[12:09] * Matsumi Kaze [outside] lays on the ground
[12:09] * Nelius Raoul heads over to the Resturant, Kanri on his shoulder.
[12:10] * Nelius Raoul is away: Getting Food
[12:10] * Kanri-chan is still poking at the strange shaped ear curiously
[12:21] * Matsumi Kaze [outside] sighs
[12:29] * Matsumi Kaze [outside] looks up at the clouds
[12:31] * Nelius Raoul is back
[12:32] * Kanri-chan noms nelius's shoulder
[12:33] * Nelius Raoul exits the Resturant with a glorious spread of food.

[12:35] * Matsumi Kaze [outside] keeps watching the clouds
[12:36] * Kanri-chan noms nelius's shoulder with her hungry eyes trained to the spread
[12:37] * Nelius Raoul sets the food down. He motions for Kanri to go ahead and dig in.
[12:37] * YumikoTakanashi [outside] tosses a polished stone up catching it (how much longer will it take?)
[12:38] * Kanri-chan slips off his shoulder and hops to the plate staring at it "which one first?"
[12:39] <Nelius Raoul> Start with whatever you like.
[12:39] <Nelius Raoul> I certainly will.
[12:39] * Kanri-chan goes to grab... no not that...maybe.. no not that either... oh how about... but what about........ sweatdrops
[12:42] * Achievement Unlocked : Kitty Confusion-- has she never been to a buffed before?
[12:42] <Achievement Unlocked> *buffet
[12:43] * Kanri-chan looks above nelius's head " nelius whats that?"
[12:43] <Nelius Raoul> ??
[12:44] * Nelius Raoul looks up, but sees nothing.
[12:44] <Nelius Raoul> ....what?
[12:44] <Kanri-chan> it says acheivment unloced........ kitty confusion?
[12:45] <Nelius Raoul> ....you seein' things? I don't see anything.
[12:46] * Kanri-chan flicks nelius in his arm and turns back to the plate
[12:46] <Nelius Raoul> .....(Did I miss something?)
[12:47] <Kanri-chan> yuhr as dense as ever
[12:48] * Nelius Raoul ignores it, and goes back to the food.
[12:49] * Kanri-chan huffs and walks off to the restaurant "yuh had to make it impossible to choose didnt yuh?"
[12:49] <Nelius Raoul> ......
[12:49] * Nelius Raoul puts together a plate with a little something from each, and eats.

[12:50] * Kanri-chan comes back with a bowl of tuna that has a celery spoon
[12:55] * Kanri-chan drops a celerey stick in nelius's plate "eat healthy"
[13:00] * Nelius Raoul just eats the celery stick, before returning to his food. He's already about 3/4 done.
[13:02] <Kanri-chan> i think yuhr a black hole
[13:06] * Kanri-chan slips some tuna on his plate to see if he eats it
[13:07] * Nelius Raoul notices the Tuna. He gives Kanri a look.
[13:09] * Kanri-chan looks away as if it werent her
[13:09] <Nelius Raoul> If you really want to see a black hole, I should show you the Gourmet Ogres.
[13:10] <Kanri-chan> the what?
[13:11] <Kanri-chan> are they mean ogres?
[13:11] <Nelius Raoul> They're pretty much fat-magnets. They can eat pretty much anything that fits into their mouths.
[13:12] <Nelius Raoul> And they have some pretty big mouths.
[13:12] <Kanri-chan> 0.0
[13:13] * Kanri-chan turns kitten and hides under the couch
[13:13] <Nelius Raoul> Well, if you ever meet one, don't be something small and unassuming, like your kitten form.
[13:14] * Kanri-chan runs out and into the bathroom tail tucked
[13:15] * YumikoTakanashi has moved back to the lobby
[13:15] <Nelius Raoul> While there are Netherworld influences here, I haven't seen any Gourmet Ogres, so you should be fine, Kanri.
[13:15] <Nelius Raoul> Just in case, I should at least show you what they look like.
[13:17] <YumikoTakanashi> oh yuh are dense.. yuh think she's going to come out now?
[13:18] <Nelius Raoul> I'll give her some time to recollect her nerves.
[13:19] <Nelius Raoul> If you're feelin' hungry, I got a spread of stuff over there.
[13:19] * YumikoTakanashi simply shakes her head and goes into the bathroom flame in hand "count 30 seconds and duck"
[13:19] <Nelius Raoul> ..............................
[13:20] * Nelius Raoul simply levitates upwards, laying flat against the Lobby Ceiling.
[13:20] * Kanri-chan goes flying across the lobby and scampers around looking for a hiding place
[13:22] <Nelius Raoul> (...is this the Yumiko we know? I'd best ask, to be certain.)
[13:22] * YumikoTakanashi exits with a bag of kitty nips "come on kanri.. ive got yuh.. im sorry"
[13:23] <Nelius Raoul> Hey Yumiko, what's Ten'oh become infamous for between us?
[13:24] * YumikoTakanashi snickers "fart bombs of destructive magnitudes"
[13:24] * Kanri-chan crawls into yumi's lap and looks up at nelius warily
[13:25] <YumikoTakanashi> we've gotta work on yuhr brain to mouth filter raoul..
[13:25] * Nelius Raoul is up on the ceiling, but given that the episode has passed, he's come down.
[13:25] <Nelius Raoul> Yep, this is the Yumiko we befriended.
[13:26] <YumikoTakanashi> of course. ive got the 3 S's
[13:27] <Nelius Raoul> ?

[13:38] * George Glass quickly fixes up her hair as she looks at herself in the mirror.

[13:40] * George Glass turns and sees Nelius.
[13:40] <George Glass> Hm?

[14:02] * George Glass is feeling a little annoyed by all this badgering.
[14:03] <Mindy> Alright.
[14:03] <Mindy> Fair enough, I'll drop it.
[14:03] <Kanri-chan> yuh kow i dont think it matters.. its still george right? why should it matter ?
[14:03] <Mindy> You're right.
[14:03] <Mindy> It shouldn't.
[14:03] * Kanri-chan gasps and hides behind nelius (crap i said that out loud!)
[14:04] * George Glass nods and smiles.
[14:04] <Kanri-chan> i think george looks pretty
[14:04] * Nelius Raoul chuckles at Kanri's reaction.
[14:04] <Mindy> Well, now that I've been properly debriefed from work, I was wondering if anyone here has seen...
[14:04] * Mindy lays out the file on Elda Aster.
[14:05] <Mindy> She's been missing for three weeks, now.
[14:05] <Nelius Raoul> (She's only gotten this information now?!)
[14:05] <Kanri-chan> ask nelius..
[14:06] * George Glass frowns.
[14:06] <Nelius Raoul> Ah... didn't catch your name.
[14:06] <George Glass> Who's that?
[14:06] <Mindy> The FBI put me on the case originally but since I...lost time (¬_¬) and had to be debriefed and properly psychoanalyzed, I'm just now put on this case.
[14:06] <The Magistra> Oh boy. It's an aster.
[14:07] <Mindy> Or, the NYPD.
[14:07] <Mindy> Yes.
[14:07] <Mindy> Elda Aster.
[14:07] <Mindy> The girl who was just on Broadway.
[14:07] * Kanri-chan goes over to the Q sofa and pulls out her beanie slipping it on, her tail slipping itself away
[14:08] <Nelius Raoul> Well, this is going to take a moment to fully explain....
[14:08] <Nelius Raoul> How much do you know about the Aster Family?
[14:09] * George Glass listens, curious.
[14:09] <George Glass> I don't know if I've met her. I might have, but I guess I can't remember.
[14:09] <George Glass> I haven't seen her, sorry.
[14:09] <Mindy> I know that she's an acrtress on Broadway and she lives with her Brother in New York.
[14:10] <George Glass> And she comes to visit here often?
[14:10] * Kanri-chan plops down on the sofa and watches this
[14:10] <Mindy> Semi regularly.
[14:10] <Nelius Raoul> Well, hear me now and believe me two days later. She's the latest victim of a possibly premeditated blood feud.
[14:10] <Mindy> People said that the last time they saw her was coming into this building here. Which I know as the HOTEL.
[14:11] <Nelius Raoul> Between the Asters and The Rains.
[14:11] <Mindy> ....
[14:11] <Mindy> Okay.
[14:11] <Mindy> I actually know the deal with this place so I'm not going to laugh in your face.
[14:11] <Kanri-chan> yuhr going to need to record this..
[14:11] <Mindy> Does this have to do with all the cracks in time?
[14:11] <Nelius Raoul> Potentially.
[14:12] <Mindy> Listen, if I go to the cops and say that a seven foot tall demon told me all this they're going to fire me.
[14:12] <Kanri-chan> yuh could say he's 6..
[14:12] <Nelius Raoul> Hell, you'd be better off getting the rest of the story from either Intern or Paisley.
[14:12] <Kanri-chan> and leave out the demon part
[14:12] <Mindy> That's not the point.
[14:12] * George Glass listens.
[14:13] <Nelius Raoul> They've been the ones doing the active investigating over this. Either of them may have something to add that I might've missed.
[14:13] <Mindy> Who's the suspect?
[14:13] * Mindy gets out her pocket computer.
[14:13] <Nelius Raoul> One Jedda Rain, but from how initial talks with her went, she's potentially a victim in this as well.
[14:13] <Mindy> Jedda Rain.
[14:13] * Mindy searches that.
[14:13] <Mindy> ...From Australia?
[14:13] <The Magistra> Then how bout a half space alien woman vouching for the demon?
[14:14] <Mindy> Yeah, no.
[14:14] <Nelius Raoul> Hello Magistra.
[14:14] * The Magistra waves
[14:14] <Mindy> See.
[14:15] <Mindy> Normal people don't believe in space women and demons just walking around like it's normal.
[14:15] <Mindy> They should.
[14:15] <Nelius Raoul> This is going to sound hard to believe, especially given that I think the Human Police aren't fully equipped to handle this sort of thing, but the Rain-Aster feud dates back quite a ways.
[14:15] <Mindy> I'll tell them the last time she was recorded as being seen was in early May.
[14:16] <Mindy> When the locust infestation happened.
[14:16] <Mindy> They'll chalk it up to that.
[14:16] <Nelius Raoul> I see.
[14:16] <Mindy> You don't have to explain things to me, I'm from around here.
[14:16] <Mindy> Well, I'm not but I am.
[14:16] * George Glass listens intently.
[14:17] <George Glass> (( little busy, at work =/ ))
[14:17] <Mindy> (( I'm about to leave in five minutes, it's cool. ))
[14:18] <Nelius Raoul> Long story short, the Rains are under some kind of magical Geass of sorts to kill the Asters. Only once they do, they turn mortal and can die.
[14:18] <Mindy> Sounds good.
[14:18] <George Glass> What's a Geass?
[14:18] <Nelius Raoul> Jedda already died once before... the Aster she took down, Keeran, was ressurected-- and with him, she cane back.
[14:18] <Mindy> What's her connection to this house, do you know?
[14:19] <Nelius Raoul> Effectively, a Geass is something like a compulsion spell-- once active, it overrides most everything else about the person.
[14:19] <The Magistra> On a side note, did you know one of the Asters was on the Titanic.
[14:20] <Sarah Asley> There was!
[14:20] * George Glass looks at Sara Asley.
[14:20] *** Sara Asley is your average everyday Sara Asley
[14:20] <Nelius Raoul> !! She's back once again.
[14:21] <The Magistra> Speak of the devil
[14:21] * Sarah Asley looks in the mirror.
[14:21] *** Sarah Asley is
Her image Song is: My Heart Will Go On by Celine Dion.
[14:22] * Kanri-chan has her face in the back of the sofa and groans a bit
[14:22] <Sarah Asley> I told you I talked to that Lady Mimas figure.
[14:22] <Sarah Asley> You know she took that name from her mom?
[14:22] <Sarah Asley> Some Sailor Mimas thing.
[14:23] <Sarah Asley> Honestly! I didn't know my great-great granddaughter was a sailor.
[14:23] <Sarah Asley> You'd think with the problem we've had with boats.
[14:23] <Nelius Raoul> Did you find anything on why Jinan Aster is acting the way she is?
[14:23] <Sarah Asley> You'd not go off and work on the seas.
[14:24] <George Glass> [[I am so confused."
[14:24] * Mindy gets a text re: work
[14:24] *** Mindy [do.nt@trust.me] has left #suburbansenshi2 (No I won't shed a tear just as long as you stand (stand by me))
[14:25] <Sarah Asley> What about her? She wasn't super talkative about that.
[14:25] <Nelius Raoul> I can imagine why. If you saw what she did to those people in New York...
[14:26] <Sarah Asley> The impression I had is that she feels pretty inadequate.
[14:26] <Nelius Raoul> Inadequate? Over what?
[14:26] <Sarah Asley> Well.
[14:27] <Sarah Asley> Her sister decided to sign her up for the Budokai.
[14:27] <George Glass> I wonder who Sailor Mimas is
[14:28] <Sarah Asley> This Sailor Mimas is my Great Great Grandaughter, Elda
[14:28] <Nelius Raoul> !!
[14:28] <Nelius Raoul> Well, this next part's a hard pill to swallow.... Elda's been captured.
[14:28] <Sarah Asley> Already know.
[14:29] <Nelius Raoul> Then you already know who has her, then.
[14:29] <Sarah Asley> Now if you excuse me.
[14:29] <Sarah Asley> It's tea time.
[14:29] * OtakuRedRanger walks in through the london door
[14:29] * Sarah Asley is away: I do enjoy some earl grey this time of day.
[14:29] <George Glass> ...huh.
[14:30] <Nelius Raoul> Yeah George, time's been taking a major bend as of late.
[14:30] <Nelius Raoul> Hopefully, two days from now, Intern can convince Jedda to call this whole thing off.
[14:31] <Kanri-chan> ...
[14:32] <OtakuRedRanger> what thing?
[14:32] * George Glass gets to her feet, brushing herself off.
[14:32] <Nelius Raoul> Hey Lewis.
[14:32] * Kanri-chan 's fallen asleep on the couch, curled up with her hair surrounding her like a blanket
[14:32] <Nelius Raoul> It's something you'd be better off not knowing about-- very complicated mess.
[14:32] <OtakuRedRanger> hi nelius
[14:33] <The Magistra> Acullly that lady being here has nothing to do with Time being bendy. Matsuo, Paisely and I rescued her from the Titanic
[14:34] <OtakuRedRanger> wait george was on the titanic?
[14:34] * George Glass leaves abruptly.
[14:34] *** George Glass [glassblower@meltingied.co.jp] has left #suburbansenshi2
[14:34] <Nelius Raoul> No, another person central to what's going on, Lewis.
[14:34] <OtakuRedRanger> oh
[14:37] <Nelius Raoul> (Guess George got uncomfortable, either by the tone of things or his comment.)
[14:37] <Nelius Raoul> Anyway, how's things been on your end?
[14:39] <OtakuRedRanger> better
[14:40] * OtakuRedRanger pulls a choc ice from his bag
[14:40] * Kanri-chan sits up and wanders over to nelius and lewis rubbing here eyes
[14:40] <Kanri-chan> (( choc ice? ))
[14:41] <OtakuRedRanger> (( block of ice cream covered in chocolate ))
[14:42] <OtakuRedRanger> been practicing with my katana
[14:42] * Kanri-chan nuzzles nelius's arm for pets
[14:42] <Nelius Raoul> I see.
[14:42] <OtakuRedRanger> and trying to duel wield with katana and rapier
[14:42] * Nelius Raoul reaches his hand over and pets Kanri.
[14:43] <Nelius Raoul> Hm, two entirely different sword styles... hope you're good at knowing how to effectively switch with them.
[14:43] * Kanri-chan twitches her ear under her beanie and purrs looking up at nelius "whats a rapier?"
[14:44] <Nelius Raoul> A thin sword, used to finding gaps in armor.
[14:45] <OtakuRedRanger> it was my first weapon
[14:45] <Nelius Raoul> Meant to be a fast offensive weapon, since there's plenty of weapons out there able to break the thin blade.
[14:45] <Kanri-chan> ohhhhh whats a kantana
[14:45] <Nelius Raoul> Japanese sword, fairly flexible in both offense and defense.
[14:46] * Kanri-chan nods "lewis likes swords
[14:48] <Matsumi Kaze> [outside] spears are better
[14:48] *** Matsumi Kaze [AirGal@QTech.com] has joined #suburbansenshi2
[14:48] <@spiritflame> konnichiwa matsumi kaze
[14:48] * Matsumi Kaze has moved back to the lobby
[14:48] <Kanri-chan> whats a spear?
[14:48] <OtakuRedRanger> i'm more a weapons enthusiast
[14:49] * Matsumi Kaze flicks her wrist and a spear appears in her hand
[14:49] <YumikoTakanashi> enthusiast doesnt cover it... weapons are yuhr porn
[14:49] *** YumikoTakanashi has joined #suburbansenshi2
[14:49] <@spiritflame> konnichiwa yumikotakanashi
[14:49] <Nelius Raoul> Bladed weapon on the end of a pole. Meant for reach overall, but I've seen some people wield a spear very well.
[14:50] * Kanri-chan squeaks and backs away from the sharp thing "i dont like it"
[14:50] <OtakuRedRanger> no they are not
[14:50] <OtakuRedRanger> i prefer magic
[14:50] <YumikoTakanashi> shopping for weapons is like christmas
[14:50] <Matsumi Kaze> you'd be surprised raoul what you can do
[14:51] <Nelius Raoul> Of course, Matsumi. Two of the people I worked with used spears.
[14:51] <OtakuRedRanger> i've seen some of what he can do
[14:52] <Nelius Raoul> Three, actually.
[14:52] <YumikoTakanashi> i perfered a long sword or a double edge..
[14:52] <YumikoTakanashi> oh a bo staff too
[14:53] <OtakuRedRanger> i prefer to have quite a few on hand
[14:53] * OtakuRedRanger pulls out a long barrelled magnum
[14:53] * Matsumi Kaze frowns
[14:53] <OtakuRedRanger> but this is my beauty
[14:53] <Kanri-chan> 0.0
[14:53] <OtakuRedRanger> don;t worry it has no bullets
[14:53] * OtakuRedRanger shows the crowd the empty chamber
[14:54] <YumikoTakanashi> like raoul's crotchshot
[14:54] <OtakuRedRanger> this is genesis
[14:54] <OtakuRedRanger> its usually loaded with silver bullets doused in holy water
[14:54] <Kanri-chan> hi genesis
[14:54] <Nelius Raoul> ....Yumiko, it's pronounced "Croixshot".
[14:55] <YumikoTakanashi> crotchshot is more intimidating XD
[14:55] <OtakuRedRanger> i normally use it for final attacks
[14:55] * Matsumi Kaze frowns
[14:55] <Nelius Raoul> ........... :/
[14:55] <OtakuRedRanger> it kinda blows a hole n creatures like a melonballer
[14:56] <Kanri-chan> melon baller?
[14:57] * Matsumi Kaze sits on the Q sofa
[14:58] * Kanri-chan watches matsumi warily (i know the said she's not mad.. but i feel like she is)
[15:09] * Nelius Raoul notices that Kanri's been keeping her eyes on Matsumi.
[15:10] * Kanri-chan sighs and looks dow
[15:10] <Kanri-chan> down*
[15:14] * Matsumi Kaze opens a ginger ale and drinks
[15:14] * Kanri-chan tugs on nelius's sleeve
[15:16] <OtakuRedRanger> its hard to explain the melonballer
[15:18] <Nelius Raoul> What's up, Kanri?
[15:19] <Kanri-chan> are yuh sure she's not mad at me?
[15:20] <Nelius Raoul> She's frustrated at a number of things, Kanri. If you're going to have a chat with her, take things slowly.
[15:20] <Kanri-chan> she'll just get up and leave again.. i dont wanna watch her leave again
[15:21] * Kanri-chan sniffles remembering her mothering leaving
[15:21] <Nelius Raoul> (Damn, wish I had the right thing to say...)
[15:23] * Kanri-chan could use a hug.. hint hint~
[15:23] * OtakuRedRanger hugs kanri
[15:23] * Nelius Raoul wraps an arm around Kanri, a reassurance he won't leave her.
[15:24] * Kanri-chan whimpers and clings "i just want her to talk to me..."
[15:24] <Kanri-chan> i wanna help
[15:25] <Nelius Raoul> Then talk with her. We got your back.
[15:26] <OtakuRedRanger> so do i
[15:26] * Kanri-chan looks at nelius like he just suggested she shave her head bald "what?"
[15:27] <YumikoTakanashi> screw her back.. ive got her front
[15:28] <YumikoTakanashi> thats where the tears fall
[15:28] <Nelius Raoul> If you've got something to ask, then go ahead and ask.
[15:28] <Nelius Raoul> Also, Yumiko, that could've been worded better.
[15:29] * YumikoTakanashi pales "oh gross"
[15:29] * OtakuRedRanger giggles at the unintended double entenndre
[15:30] * Kanri-chan inches over to matsumi shaking like a leaf
[15:30] <Kanri-chan> m..m..matsumi?
[15:30] <OtakuRedRanger> hey nelius
[15:30] <Matsumi Kaze> yes?
[15:31] <Nelius Raoul> Something on your mind, Lewis?
[15:31] * Kanri-chan squeaks for no reason "um.. are yuh.. um.. m..mad at me?
[15:31] <Matsumi Kaze> no
[15:32] <OtakuRedRanger> maybe what we all need is something to take our minds off the supposed incoming doom
[15:32] * Kanri-chan backs away without another sound
[15:33] <Nelius Raoul> Maybe.
[15:33] <YumikoTakanashi> i know someone perfect for that
[15:33] <OtakuRedRanger> and i think i have an idea
[15:33] * OtakuRedRanger pulls out ice needles
[15:34] <Nelius Raoul> ??
[15:34] <YumikoTakanashi> we are not doing cocaine man
[15:35] * OtakuRedRanger points the needles upward and makes the room start slowly snowing
[15:35] <YumikoTakanashi> ......... i said no cocaine
[15:36] <OtakuRedRanger> its not cocaine!
[15:36] * YumikoTakanashi stares at lewis
[15:36] <Nelius Raoul> .......
[15:36] <OtakuRedRanger> its snow!
[15:36] <Nelius Raoul> Though, is it a good idea to have it snowing indoors?
[15:37] <OtakuRedRanger> good point
[15:37] * OtakuRedRanger points the needles upward again and makes it stop snowing
[15:37] * Kanri-chan pouts as she was chasing the little flakes "awwwwwww"
[15:37] <OtakuRedRanger> maybe we should do it outside!
[15:37] <OtakuRedRanger> have a snow party
[15:37] <YumikoTakanashi> HazMat can clean it
[15:38] <Nelius Raoul> I can imagine the look on the people's faces when suddenly in the end of May, snow out of nowhere.
[15:39] <Nelius Raoul> ...thinking about it, I remember one of Solarchos' kids burying Morrigan in a ton of snow.
[15:39] <OtakuRedRanger> why not? i mean it might be a nice change
[15:39] * Kanri-chan goes over and tugs on lewis's sleeve
[15:40] <OtakuRedRanger> yes kanri?
[15:40] <Kanri-chan> umm can yuh make it snow agin? please?
[15:41] * Kanri-chan gives lewis an adorable pout
[15:41] <OtakuRedRanger> lets go out side kanri and we'll see how much i can make!
[15:41] <YumikoTakanashi> ohhhhh she's good
[15:41] <OtakuRedRanger> i was planning on making snow out in juuban today anyway!
[15:41] * Kanri-chan gasps and runs out squealing "yaaaay!~"
[15:41] <Nelius Raoul> Hm.
[15:42] <OtakuRedRanger> wanna come nelius?
[15:42] <Kanri-chan> please nelius?
[15:42] <Nelius Raoul> I don't see why not.
[15:42] <Kanri-chan> it'll be fun!~
[15:42] <OtakuRedRanger> yay!
[15:43] <Nelius Raoul> Although I'm not the only one you should be extending the invite to.
[15:43] * OtakuRedRanger looks at matsumi
[15:43] <OtakuRedRanger> matsumi?
[15:43] * Kanri-chan looks at matsumi a bit scared "um m..matsumi?"
[15:44] * OtakuRedRanger suddenly smirks
[15:44] <Matsumi Kaze> yes?
[15:45] <OtakuRedRanger> " Do you want to build a snowman?"
[15:45] <OtakuRedRanger> " come on lets go and play!"
[15:46] <Kanri-chan> i never see yuh anymore.. its like yuhve gone away~
[15:47] <Matsumi Kaze> ..don't sing that song
[15:47] <Kanri-chan> (( i just cried ))
[15:47] <Matsumi Kaze> ..sort of have..kind of
[15:48] <Kanri-chan> we used to be best buddies.. but know we're not..i wish yuh would tell me whyyyyy~
[15:48] * Kanri-chan heads outside and slumps on the sidewalk
[15:48] * Kanri-chan has moved to: [ outside ]
[15:49] * OtakuRedRanger has moved to: [ outside ]
[15:49] <Nelius Raoul> .....
[15:51] <Nelius Raoul> Matsumi. If there's anything you feel the need to tell any of us, our ears are open.
[15:51] <Matsumi Kaze> just...private
[15:52] * OtakuRedRanger [outside] starts twirling his ice needles to build up the magic needed to make a big snow cloud
[15:52] <Nelius Raoul> Just keep that in mind. You're far from the only one searching for things.
[15:53] * Nelius Raoul has moved to: [ Outside ]
[15:53] * Nelius Raoul [Outside] watches Lewis do his thing with the Ice Needles.
[15:53] * Kanri-chan [outside] looks up at nelius with a pained expression
[15:54] * OtakuRedRanger [outside] continues to twirl the needles even when they look like blue circles on his hands
[15:54] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Yes, Kanri?
[15:56] * OtakuRedRanger [outside] stops twirling the needles, holding onto them as the magic gathered rolls off in visible energy
[15:58] * OtakuRedRanger [outside] then moves his hand until the tips of the needles are near touching/ watching the magic swirl around him
[15:59] * OtakuRedRanger [outside] then points both needles to the sky and releases the energy, creating a large snow cloud a few miles wide
[15:59] * OtakuRedRanger [outside] then watches as the snow begins to gently fall, and tries to catch one on his tongue
[16:00] * Nelius Raoul [Outside] reaches his left hand out, letting a few flakes fall onto the outstretched fingers.
[16:01] * OtakuRedRanger [outside] notices that his red suit has changed due to the magic needed to create the cloud, now the suit is blue and white and somehow sparkles slightly
[16:01] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] i wish the needles didn;t do this everytime
[16:03] * Kanri-chan [outside] pokes his suit "thats cool"
[16:04] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] well its sorta a side effect and sorta because of what i alchemised to make the needles
[16:04] * OtakuRedRanger [outside] shows them the ice needles
[16:05] * Kanri-chan [outside] looks at them "their pretty~"
[16:05] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] they are actually called elsa's beauty
[16:05] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] you can guess what i used to help make them
[16:08] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] also
[16:08] <Kanri-chan> [outside] um ice/
[16:08] <Kanri-chan> [outside] ?
[16:09] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] no actually
[16:09] <Kanri-chan> [outside] oh..
[16:09] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] my alchemy is different
[16:09] * OtakuRedRanger [outside] pulls out the needlewands
[16:09] <Kanri-chan> [outside] the blood of sacrifices?
[16:09] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] i used these needles but also a dvd
[16:10] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] we sang a song from that dvd to matsumi
[16:10] <Kanri-chan> [outside] frozen?
[16:10] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] Yep! i
[16:10] <Kanri-chan> [outside] yay~
[16:11] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] i figured that using elsa would give it the ability to have some influence over the ise
[16:11] * Kanri-chan [outside] claps and looks around for the snow
[16:11] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] ice
[16:11] * OtakuRedRanger [outside] watches the snow fall more thicker now
[16:12] * Kanri-chan [outside] gasps and hops over to nelius "nelius nelius!!"
[16:12] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] What's up, Kanri?
[16:13] <Kanri-chan> [outside] do yuh wanna build a snowman??
[16:13] * Kanri-chan [outside] looks up hopefully
[16:13] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] hehehehe
[16:13] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] i know i want to
[16:15] * OtakuRedRanger [outside] starts trying to roll up snow to make the base of the snowman
[16:17] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Is the snow packable, though?
[16:17] * Kanri-chan [outside] pokes at nelius
[16:17] <Kanri-chan> [outside] obviously
[16:17] <Kanri-chan> [outside] please?
[16:18] * OtakuRedRanger [outside] shows the small ball of snow he's already managed to make
[16:19] <Kanri-chan> [outside] pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaase
[16:20] * Kanri-chan [outside] sighs and heads over to lewis "he doesnt wanna play does he?"
[16:20] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Very well.
[16:20] * Nelius Raoul [Outside] begins rolling a ball of snow. It starts of small, but it gets large pretty soon.
[16:21] * Kanri-chan [outside] watches lewis unaware of nelius roaming about
[16:23] * Kanri-chan [outside] flops face first into the snow
[16:25] * Nelius Raoul [Outside] already has the snowman's base ready.
[16:25] * Nelius Raoul [Outside] begins making the torso.
[16:26] * Kanri-chan [outside] spreads her arms and legs making a snowangel
[16:27] * OtakuRedRanger [outside] manages to make a large ball of snow for the base and starts on the body
[16:27] * Kanri-chan [outside] lifts her head and looks around for nelius
[16:28] * A snowman is peering down at Kanri. It has an expression on its face, and.... is it wielding a broadsword?
[16:28] * OtakuRedRanger [outside] this time manages to finish the body and starts on the head
[16:28] * Kanri-chan [outside] jumps and screams "ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh~"
[16:29] * OtakuRedRanger [outside] also notices nelius snowman and jawdrops
[16:29] * Nelius Raoul [Outside] watches Kanri jump about five feet into the air. He starts laughing.
[16:29] * Kanri-chan [outside] runs away "the snowman wants to kill me!!
[16:30] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Oh, I apologise, but that was too good to pass up!
[16:30] * Kanri-chan [outside] huffs and throws snow at nelius "that was mean!!!"
[16:31] * Nelius Raoul [Outside] lets the snowball hit him. He's still laughing a bit.
[16:32] * YumikoTakanashi skates through and uses ice and wind magic to form SEVERAL snowballs before skating off
[16:32] * OtakuRedRanger [outside] finishes the head and decides to use his ice needles to make horns on the snowman
[16:32] *** YumikoTakanashi has left #suburbansenshi2
[16:33] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Kanri, one of these days, I'll have to show you the competitions people have in crafting things from snow.
[16:34] * Kanri-chan [outside] hurls a snowball straught at nelius's face and giggles
[16:34] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] I've seen castles, people, imitation vehicles... a little creativity and a lot of snow can produce some serious art.
[16:34] * Nelius Raoul [Outside] tilts to the side to avoid it.
[16:34] * Kanri-chan [outside] pouts and throws another
[16:36] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] hey look! Snow Troll!
[16:36] * Kanri-chan [outside] looks over towards lewis
[16:36] * Nelius Raoul [Outside] catches the snowball while Kanri's looking away.
[16:37] <Kanri-chan> [outside] troll???
[16:39] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] ever read homestuck?
[16:39] <Kanri-chan> [outside] no sir
[16:39] * Kanri-chan looks at nelius raoul.
[16:39] *** nelius raoul is a tan, seven-foot tall male demon with spiked red-brown hair and one orange eye. He wears dark green cargo pants, a black "Zabel Zarock World Tour" T-shirt, a brown jacket and boots. The unnerving aura surrounding him has dropped off, tightly controlled. More information about him is Here.
His image Song is: []Heart of Steel[].
[16:46] * Kanri-chan [outside] hops of to nelius cute as could be "nelius! guess what!!"
[16:47] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] What's up, Kanri?
[16:50] * Kanri-chan [outside] hops up on his shoulder and puts a snowball on his head before running off
[16:50] * Nelius Raoul [Outside] tosses the snowball he caught earlier at Kanri.
[16:52] * Kanri-chan [outside] is shot! and goes down
[16:54] * Kanri-chan [outside] sinks into the snow and seemingly dissapears
[16:54] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] ...uh oh.
[16:55] * Nelius Raoul [Outside] goes over to fish Kanri out of the snow.
[16:57] * Kanri-chan [outside] isnt there... at all
[16:57] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] ....what the--
[16:58] * Kanri-chan [outside] pops up a bit behind raoul and throws a snowball at him
[16:59] * Nelius Raoul [Outside] barely dodges the snowball.
[16:59] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Oh, burrowing now, are we?
[16:59] * Kanri-chan [outside] dives down with a giggle
[17:04] * Kanri-chan [outside] pops up right in front of nelius and puts a snowball in his hand before diving back down
[17:05] <Kanri-chan> [outside] so it heals yuh? the more bars the better?
[17:08] * Kanri-chan [outside] pops up and throws a snow bal at nelius then one at lewis
[17:10] * OtakuRedRanger [outside] feels the impact of the snowball
[17:10] * Nelius Raoul [Outside] catches the snowball and sends it back!
[17:11] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Y'know, something like this happened my first day here.
[17:11] * Kanri-chan [outside] is shot!"really?"
[17:12] * OtakuRedRanger [outside] uses the needles to create a few snowball and shoots them at kanri
[17:12] * Kanri-chan [outside] is buffeted and goes down
[17:13] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Indeed. One of Solarchos' kids dragged Morrigan into a ring and dumped snow on her.
[17:13] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] who's Morrigan?
[17:13] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Someone then declared it "Whack-a-cubus" day. Which ended up making me a target.
[17:13] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Succubus who works with Solarchos, Lewis. She's an information broker, more or less.
[17:14] <Kanri-chan> [outside] but yuhr always the target ^^
[17:14] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] However, I proved able to defend myself from the incoming snow onslaught.
[17:14] * Kanri-chan [outside] moves around under the snow in her tunnels :3
[17:15] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] does she have purple legs and bat wings in her hair?
[17:16] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Got it in one, Lewis.
[17:18] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] yeah i know of her.
[17:18] * Kanri-chan [outside] pops up and shakes snow out of her hair
[17:20] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] is there a very buff vampire called Demitri as well
[17:20] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] who wears a suit with a chest ruffle and sometimes turns nude to fight
[17:22] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Dunno, haven't seen Maximoff in this reality, nor have I seen Felicia or Talbain.
[17:22] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] i was wondering if you knew of the canon timeline
[17:24] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Well, the version of Morrigan's world I dropped into could easily be an alternate version of events.
[17:24] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] good point
[17:24] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] i actually can;t breach canon timelines
[17:24] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] What details did you have of the one you know?
[17:24] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] even with using my focus ability
[17:26] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] well lets say it was a world war timeline
[17:27] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] where the allies fought with the demons against the Nazi's who had a lot of wizards
[17:27] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Hm, definitely different than the timeline I went through.
[17:28] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] yeah i tend to find a few of those
[17:28] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Indeed.
[17:30] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] well either world war or pre industrial era
[17:32] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] you know medieval castles and such
[17:33] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Hm. Well, the version I was in was decidedly more modern-- there were cars, casinoes....
[17:35] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] well the one i ended up at was a literal battle field so i got the heck out of there
[17:37] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Yeah, in mine I got stuck there for a good 17 years. The Demitri of that one had been banished to the human world, but he made good use of his banishment by covering the world in clouds that simulated night.
[17:37] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] And then Pyron showed up.
[17:37] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] yeouch
[17:38] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] who's pyron?
[17:40] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Something that called itself a cosmic being. Apparently living and evolving for millions of years turned him into a shapeshifting being of energy.
[17:41] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Saw the reports of the damage he did.... wrecked a lot of places, apparently in search of a battle.
[17:41] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] wow...has anything like it ever shown up here?
[17:42] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Dunno, I've only been here just under three months. You'd have to ask Xadium or another resident about that.
[17:42] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] good point
[17:43] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Anyway, Pyron was pretty powerful.... Demitri was stomped in two minutes, and the less said of what he did to Donovan, the better.
[17:43] * Matsumi Kaze runs off
[17:43] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Hell, it's due to Pyron that I lost my left eye.
[17:43] * Matsumi Kaze is away: need to go somewhere important
[17:44] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] Donovan?
[17:44] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Yet, when he did that, it woke up that odd dark power I've been using.
[17:44] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Donovan-- half-human, half-demon, accepted by neither.
[17:45] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Had use of this blade that could channel spirits. We didn't get much chance to converse. After I took Pyron down, he disappeared off the face of the earth, likely searching for his own answers.
[17:46] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] wow
[17:46] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] That was the start of my 17 year stay in that world. I helped out people, honed my skills, got things made...
[17:47] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] And then Jedah Dohma revived.
[17:48] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] Jedah Dohma?
[17:48] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] One of the Demon World's High Nobles, he came up with some idea to "save" everyone by collecting all souls in existence, then fusing them into some kind of god.
[17:49] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] I was out testing my prototype Shatterpact Gauntlets, when I got pulled into his dimension, the Majigen.
[17:49] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] what did you do?
[17:50] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] The normal things inside that realm didn't apply. One moment I'd be fighting on the side of a building, next thing I knew I'm in a subway.
[17:51] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Anyway, somehow I made to where Jedah was performing his little "salvation" plan. If my fight against Pyron could've been called a battle, then fighting Dohma was a war.
[17:51] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] wow
[17:51] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Pyron was way older, but Dohma had a power beyond his. To be honest, I think I lucked out in my fight against him.
[17:52] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] sometimes i think that i usually luck out against my enemies
[17:53] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] His body was some kind of liquid composition-- spraying blood was one of his best attacks. One move even had him decapitate himself to attack with the blood spray.
[17:53] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] ewwww
[17:54] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] One of his moves was to rip off his wings and throw it like a buzzsaw at me. I managed to grab it and toss it back. I missed him, but sliced the god he was creating-- more specifically, got its umbillical cord.
[17:54] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] wow
[17:55] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] wait, was its brain showing and did it have yellow eyes?
[17:55] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Given that the god was basically holding the realm together, things went nuclear-- yeah, it did have those. You saw it as well?
[17:55] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] i have see it
[17:55] * OtakuRedRanger [outside] pulls out a 3ds box called Project X Zone
[17:56] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] i'm almost at the end of the game and that was one of the levels
[17:56] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] though we didn;t take on the god itself
[17:56] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Huh...
[17:56] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] but jedah himself
[17:56] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] then raptor tried to absorb the spiritual power and exploded
[17:57] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] this game shows one timeline in which they try to combine universes
[17:57] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Ah.
[17:57] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] its sorta like this universe
[17:57] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] but this unverse manages to meld together naturally
[17:58] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] their way was about as subtle as a hippo in a china shop
[17:58] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] So I've noticed.
[17:58] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Still, when the realm collapsed, by all accounts, I should've been dead.
[17:58] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] though you play as morrigan and demitri in that game...partly
[17:58] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] why didn;t you die
[17:59] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] That's what I'm trying to figure out. I'm guessing that when the realm went up in smoke, something tore a dimensional wormhole open and sent me through it.
[17:59] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Certainly explains how I ended up in the other human world.
[18:00] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] most likely
[18:00] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] or maybe you did by accident
[18:00] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Considering I only recently learned how to use dimensional gates, the accident is unlikely.
[18:01] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] never mnd then
[18:02] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Either way, what's past is past. All we can do now is focus on the present.
[18:02] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] yep and prepare for the future
[18:03] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Basically.
[18:03] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] (Speaking of the future, there)
[18:06] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] (Only two days until the meeting with Jedda Rain.... and a month before the box collapses and we're no longer contained.)
[18:07] *** Kanri-chan has left #suburbansenshi2
[18:09] * OtakuRedRanger [outside] notices the slight worry on Nelius's face
[18:10] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] are you as worried as i am?
[18:11] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Not gonna lie, I am.
[18:11] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Things have basically been going straight to hell recently.
[18:12] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] i hear that
[18:14] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] About all we can do now is prepare for whatever gets thrown our way.
[18:14] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] why do you think i stock piled bazookas
[18:15] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] and i'm building more gadgets apart from my forcefield watch
[18:17] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] I see.
[18:25] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Took me a while, but I got Espoir down pat. Gonna start working on seeing if I can combine other spells together.
[18:26] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] Espoir? What spell is that?
[18:27] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] It heals status problems, like Poison, Amnesia, stuff like that.
[18:28] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] I'm wondering if it could be combined with a Heal Spell, much like I've seen others do-- heal injuries and clear up status problems at the same time.
[18:28] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] nice
[18:29] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] it could work
[18:30] * OtakuRedRanger [outside] yawns
[18:30] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] well my biological clock is acting up, so i'm gonna head home so i can sleep
[18:30] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Feelin' tired?
[18:30] * OtakuRedRanger [outside] yawns again
[18:31] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] well whilst i'm here out side i can show you my dimensional walking ability in the form of Tear
[18:31] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] All right.
[18:31] * OtakuRedRanger [outside] grabs air, but it shows that he is grabbing reality
[18:32] * OtakuRedRanger [outside] pulls apart creating a straight line tear
[18:32] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] and that is how i make a tear back home but its crude, and i prefer Phase
[18:32] <OtakuRedRanger> [outside] see you Later Nelius
[18:32] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] I see.
[18:32] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] Later Lewis.
[18:33] * OtakuRedRanger [outside] steps in and then the tear is pulled together, knitted back together
[18:37] <Nelius Raoul> [Outside] (Everyone's getting prepared for this. I better do my part as well.)
[18:37] * Nelius Raoul has moved back to the lobby
[18:37] * Nelius Raoul heads for the Item World Center in the RosenQueen Vendor.
[18:39] * Nelius Raoul is away: Time to test out some theories.
[20:06] * Kevin Junia teleports into the room

[20:06] <Kevin Junia> Ah, victory is sweet.
[20:08] * Kevin Junia looks around. It seems to be very quiet.
[20:09] * Nelius Raoul is back
[20:09] * Nelius Raoul enters the Lobby from upstairs.
[20:09] * Kevin Junia hears some movement, and looks towards the stairs.
[20:10] <Nelius Raoul> (A solid 90 minutes of testing and tweaking.... I like these results.)
[20:10] <Kevin Junia> Greetings
[20:10] <Hideki Kaze> another fight?

[20:10] <Nelius Raoul> ??
[20:10] <Kevin Junia> ???
[20:11] <Kevin Junia> I wasn't in a fight.
[20:11] <Nelius Raoul> I take it there's some context we've missed.
[20:12] <Kevin Junia> Just got back from San Antonio. Watched the Spurs beat the Thunder like a drum.
[20:12] <Kevin Junia> I think so too.
[20:12] <Hideki Kaze> oh yes sports..forgot that was going on
[20:12] * Hideki Kaze keeps watching the door
[20:13] <Nelius Raoul> What's this about a fight?
[20:14] <Kevin Junia> Yeah, I am curious as well.
[20:14] <Hideki Kaze> nothing..just my wife has been dealing with some things
[20:14] * Hideki Kaze looks in the mirror.

[20:15] <@spiritflame> konbanwa david o`cain
[20:15] <Nelius Raoul> Your wife.... would I be correct in guessing you're hitched to Matsumi?
[20:16] <David O`Cain> Evening, gents.
[20:16] <Kevin Junia> Yeah, her lot in life hasn't been exactly the easiest.
[20:16] <Hideki Kaze> she is
[20:16] <Kevin Junia> Evening David
[20:16] <Nelius Raoul> I see.
[20:17] <Kevin Junia> Fate played a cruel game with her. Destiny tried to make it easier I believe.
[20:18] <David O`Cain> What's going on?
[20:19] <Kevin Junia> Not too sure.
[20:19] <Kevin Junia> I just arrived back here after my trip to San Antone.
[20:20] <Nelius Raoul> Well, whatever business it is Matsumi got into, it tracked her down here.
[20:20] <Nelius Raoul> Some time-manipulator by the name of Daeva showed up here, after Matsumi because she had this statue.
[20:21] <Kevin Junia> Should I call for my wife or sister?
[20:21] <Hideki Kaze> I don' tknow

[20:22] *** Midori Yuroti is a shapely Nekonian, with blondish hair and white cat ears and tail. She was just a few inches shorter than Makoto, making her average height for a female Nekonian. She has emerald green eyes and a cool personality to go with it.

[20:23] <Kevin Junia> (( She's from my book series. The Nekonians are human looking except for the tail and ears. ))
[20:24] <Midori Yuroti> Good evening David.
[20:26] <Kevin Junia> Good timing Midori. Everyone, she is one of my staff members and personal body guards.
[20:26] <Nelius Raoul> Duly noted.
[20:28] <Midori Yuroti> My family, with me as their matriarch, has sworn fielty to the Junia family. It is an honor to protect the Shogun.

[20:29] <Hideki Kaze> how was kyoto?
[20:30] <Kevin Junia> Wow, you look beat into the ground.
[20:30] <David O`Cain> Hey, Matsumi.
[20:30] <Nelius Raoul> Welcome back.
[20:30] <Matsumi Kaze> Shin clan meetings always wear me out @_@
[20:33] <David O`Cain> Need help?
[20:37] <Yaijinden> With the sexy biI can't actually say that with a straight face.
[20:38] <David O`Cain> What's new, Yai?
[20:39] <Yaijinden> Blwaaaaaah.
[20:40] <Yaijinden> Checking m-self before wrecking m-self.
[20:40] <Matsumi Kaze> just..rest @_@
[20:40] <David O`Cain> Of course, man.
[20:40] * Hideki Kaze helps Matsumi to a Q sofa
[20:40] <Yaijinden> My ladies are out. I'm here fetching one thing...
[20:40] <Hideki Kaze> *the
[20:40] <Yaijinden> And then back to m'wee one.
[20:41] <Kevin Junia> Heh
[20:41] <Yaijinden> She is a ways from bedtime yet.
[20:41] <Yaijinden> But not long~
[20:41] * Yaijinden is away: fetching
[20:41] * Midori Yuroti is just standing there with her tail slowly moving around.
[20:43] <David O`Cain> Anyway, how's everyone else doing?
[20:44] <Nelius Raoul> Doing well. Been making good use of my Item World Card.
[20:45] <Kevin Junia> Having fun watching the NBA playoffs... mostly the Spurs. Things have been fortunately quiet.
[20:46] <Matsumi Kaze> I never watch NBA...we suck!
[20:46] * Midori Yuroti scoffs at the "Having fun watching the NBA playoffs" part.
[20:46] <David O`Cain> KC used to have a team from what I heard.
[20:47] <Kevin Junia> I remember hearing that too. Not sure who they used to be though.
[20:48] * David O`Cain opens a vid-window to the info, "Here we go: Kansas City Kings. Now they're Sacremento."
[20:50] <Kevin Junia> Oh that's right. Almost became the new Seattle Supersonics.
[20:50] <David O`Cain> Eh, Iris and Ryoko both think there won't be an NBA team any time soon. Not with how the arena schedule goes these days.
[20:50] * Nelius Raoul bows out of this conversation. Sports conventions haven't really been his thing.
[20:51] <Kevin Junia> Ever since Seattle got screwed by the new owners of teh OKC Carpetbaggers... er Robberbarons... er Thunder.
[20:52] <Kevin Junia> I'd almost say there are too many teams at this point. Competition is kinda watered down. I'm looking at you LeBron James and your Leastern Conference.
[20:52] <David O`Cain> Hosting exhibition games is one thing. Having an actual team? Forget it. Same with the NHL.
[20:52] <Matsumi Kaze> CURSE YOU TIBERWOLVES
[20:54] <Kevin Junia> Yeah, Kevin Love was screaming the same thing I'd heard.
[20:55] * Nelius Raoul takes a seat and begins going through what he got during his Item World Trip. Most stuff he can sell, but a few items he'll keep.
[20:55] * Hideki Kaze hands his wife a ginger ale
[20:57] <David O`Cain> From what I gleaned regarding the NHL, the New Jersey Devils used to be the Kansas City Scouts.
[20:57] <Kevin Junia> I remember seeing the Tampa Bay Lightning as a kid before they joined the NHL.
[20:58] <Kevin Junia> Became a fan from then on.
[20:58] <Matsumi Kaze> curse you wild T____T
[21:00] <David O`Cain> What league was Tampa in?
[21:00] <Midori Yuroti> It's too bad San Antonio hasn't gotten their own NHL team. You'd probably be all over them.
[21:01] <Hideki Kaze> your team did fine, Matsumi..
[21:02] <Kevin Junia> Actually the Lightning were always in teh NHL since 92.
[21:03] <David O`Cain> Huh.
[21:04] <Midori Yuroti> What he means to say is that they were an expansion team.
[21:04] <David O`Cain> Oh, okay.
[21:07] <David O`Cain> I've been trying my best to keep up with sports teams in the Kansas City area. Iris and Ryoko follow things better than I do.
[21:08] <Midori Yuroti> Oh, I remember listening to Jim Rome. He used to have a frequent caller named Willie in KC. Very funny person.
[21:10] <David O`Cain> Willie....only Willie comes to my mind is Willie Wilson.
[21:11] <Kevin Junia> Unless you listened to Rome, he wouldn't have any significance.
[21:12] <David O`Cain> Hm.

[21:27] * Kanri-chan has moved back to the lobby
[21:28] <Nelius Raoul> Hey Kanri. Where'd you run off to?
[21:28] * Kevin Junia leans over and whispers in Midori's ear, "There's another presence here. Keep a look out, and find out who it is."

[21:32] <Kanri-chan> a what????
[21:32] * Kanri-chan frowns and holds her tail "i dont know what that is"
[21:33] <Midori Yuroti> If you are not a fellow Nekonian, then what might you be?
[21:34] <Kanri-chan> half cat half girl?
[21:34] * Kanri-chan tilts her head confused "i am right nelius?"
[21:34] <Midori Yuroti> That's what they describe as a Nekonian.
[21:35] <Kanri-chan> but i dont.. ive never.... umm
[21:35] <Nelius Raoul> Honestly, I want to say you might be part Mauian, but considering your.... well, parent, I can't give an accurate answer.
[21:35] <Midori Yuroti> Perhaps in this universe the Nekonians are called something else here.
[21:36] <Kanri-chan> well my mother was a cat.. i dont know what my dad was
[21:36] <Midori Yuroti> Hmmm...
[21:40] * Kanri-chan blinks
[21:40] <Kanri-chan> did i do something wrong?
[21:43] <Nelius Raoul> Don't believe so, just a small misunderstanding.

[22:00] <David O`Cain> Hey, Paisley.
[22:00] <Claudia Remieux> It is fine. I have been traveling through France while on my free time.
[22:00] <Claudia Remieux> The wind on the Eifel Tower is delightful.
[22:05] <Nelius Raoul> ......hey Paisley, does the name Daeva mean anything to you?
[22:06] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Sounds like a bad 90's pop star.
[22:07] <Nelius Raoul> Well, the other day, and David can back me up on this, she showed up after Matsumi for some statue.
[22:07] <Nelius Raoul> Knocked the mask off her face, and she looked like a carbom-copy of you.
[22:08] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ...
[22:08] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I'm going to sue someone.
[22:08] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> But another day.

[22:34] <@The Intern> If I'm not wrong, this is the Throne room.
[22:35] <David O`Cain> The toilet? :P
[22:36] * - Giving this one to you. After a bit of casting you do come upon the throne room. Currently it is lined with tables filled with people, and from where the camera sits, at the back of the room, it must be hundreds upon hundreds of people congregated to eat. Many are masked and most are naked.
[22:36] <Nelius Raoul> Throne room/ mess hall.... clothing optional, it would seem.

[22:37] <@The Intern> How vast is this realm.
[22:38] <@The Intern> Is it the size of the universe, or smaller...
[22:38] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> How will you figure that out?
[22:38] * @The Intern thinks.
[22:39] <@The Intern> there are... two things I need to determine. No, three.
[22:39] <@The Intern> The mists of position 7... how far do they extend. Are they under her control or not.
[22:39] <@The Intern> And what are the spatial dimensions of the rest of the area.
[22:39] <David O`Cain> Hmmm.
[22:40] <@The Intern> You see, if the mists are "outside" her realm...
[22:40] <@The Intern> then a sizing determination will be inaccurate.
[22:40] <@The Intern> Because her realm will be within that.
[22:40] * @The Intern goes to the trestaurant

[22:41] * @The Intern takes them apart
[22:42] * @The Intern rebuilds them into little rocket powered camera pods. She equips them with measurement sensors and Roomba-like programming to allow them to autonomously wander about making very low-res measurements, just trying to see how wide the space is that they're in. they can also measure the flow of time relative to the Lobby.
[22:43] * @The Intern also programs them to regroup and swap nots so she can get a better picture of what's out there size-wise (no useful details like doors or windows or things)

[22:44] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> So what do you hope to find.
[22:45] <@The Intern> A general idea of what's out there. Is it a lair suspended in a void of horrorterrors? An entire universe thats been reshaped?
[22:46] * - In short order it's apparent that at least four of the five are broken. The fifth returns with measurements of the game room (which is the size of an average living room, comfortable for a few select people).
[22:47] <@The Intern> Tch.
[22:47] <@The Intern> All i've managed to establish is the size of the game room.

[22:54] * - The snag takes a bit of pulling. Knowing the timeflow, you can easily guess that dinner is well done and overwith.
[22:54] <spiritflame> @The Intern rolls d10 [ ]
[22:54] <spiritflame> @The Intern rolls 1d10 [ 2 ]
[22:54] * - A woman tumbles out in a mess of black and red hair (please note this is an entirely random roll but it amuses me)
[22:55] * - Immediately she attempts to get back into the crack.
[22:55] * @The Intern helps her up
[22:55] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte goes over and takes hold of the woman
[22:55] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Oi, wait.
[22:55] <Nelius Raoul> ........they must really like it in there, if they're that desperate to go back in.
[22:56] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Or they're compelled.
[22:56] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte uses a direct mental command
[22:56] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ♦ Stop. Sit.
[22:56] * - The grin on her face is unnerving. But she does stop and sit down-- more like a pet than a person.
[22:57] * - Most of her face is hidden behind the mass of unkempt and uncut hair.
[22:57] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I wonder if that was my compulsion or she's just programmed to obey.
[22:57] <David O`Cain> Hoo boy.
[22:57] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte brushes some hair out of her face.
[22:58] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Can you hear me?
[22:58] * Abe Hisoka seems to almost gaze through as her eyes stay on the rift.
[22:58] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Oh s[BLEEP]t.
[22:58] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> It's Abe.
[22:58] <Nelius Raoul> .....assuming we have to traverse that area-- waitaminute.
[22:58] <The Magistra> what
[22:58] * @The Intern finds her journal from earlier.
[22:59] <@The Intern> We have... your book.
[22:59] * @The Intern holds it up.
[22:59] <Adam Kanal> Hmm.
[22:59] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Maggie. Put a barrier around that crack.
[22:59] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Though I have a feeling it won't matter.
[22:59] <David O`Cain> This can't be good.
[22:59] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I think her mind isn't... here.
[23:00] * Abe Hisoka continues to stare at the rift. Her eyes are glazed over, the grin wavering with her very faint giggles.
[23:00] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte snaps her fingers
[23:00] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte waits to see if that does anything.
[23:00] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte doubts it.
[23:01] <@The Intern> What are you thinking?
[23:01] * Abe Hisoka continues to stare.
[23:01] <Nelius Raoul> ....why am I not surprised the trigger is removed.
[23:01] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> That this is now more of a shell..
[23:01] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte gently probes her mind to see if anyone's home.
[23:02] <David O`Cain> If that's the shell, where's the rest?
[23:02] * - For calculations sake with the time difference, Hisoka has been in that realm for approximately 3.5 months.
[23:02] <@The Intern> Well... if Mania absorbs things...
[23:02] <@The Intern> She may have absorbed Abe.
[23:02] <Nelius Raoul> Man, when Furu finds out his girlfriend's lost her marbles, it's gonna be worse than a concrete pillar to the boys down south.
[23:02] <@The Intern> The parts of her that matter, anyway.
[23:03] * Abe Hisoka 's mind is a swirling mess of dark rooms and pain and pleasure and whispers that Paisley might remember herself.
[23:03] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte shudders
[23:03] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Nightfall's all up in her head.
[23:03] <Nelius Raoul> No surprises there.
[23:04] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I've been keeping that s[BLEEP]te backed up as far as I can.
[23:04] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> but it's a strain.
[23:04] <Nelius Raoul> For someone who wants to be her own being, she's not putting up a convincing argument to be treated well.
[23:04] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> This girl has been reduced to a poppet.
[23:05] <@The Intern> What if Mania is like an infectious disease.
[23:05] <@The Intern> That expands by hopping from host to host.
[23:05] <@The Intern> Continuing to spread and consume.
[23:05] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Like Psychic kudzu, eh.
[23:06] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte frowns
[23:06] * The Magistra puts the finishing touches on the barrier, this one's pretty strong, and repels from both sides.
[23:06] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> There was another race of aliens that used Psychic compulsion fairly strongly.
[23:06] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> We called them "the 456"
[23:06] <Nelius Raoul> ??
[23:06] * Adam Kanal winces.
[23:07] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> They did have one weakness Torchwoos was able to exploit.
[23:07] <Adam Kanal> That brings up some bad memories.
[23:07] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ^torchwood
[23:07] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Well it should.
[23:07] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> The mental reach was two way.
[23:07] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> If you had one of their victims... You could push back directly against them using their mind as a conduit.
[23:07] <Adam Kanal> So you want to send some psychic feedback?
[23:08] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> But it killed the conduit in the process.
[23:08] <Nelius Raoul> So you could mindf[BLEEP]k them right back.
[23:08] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> No.
[23:08] <Nelius Raoul> ...............
[23:08] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I'm not stupid.
[23:08] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Mania is VAST at this point.
[23:08] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Stupidly vast.
[23:08] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> We'd need a mind of equal power. Or a unified gestalt mind.
[23:08] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I doubt we have it. We'd just get them all infected.
[23:09] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> And we'd probably kill the intermediary.
[23:09] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> But maybe...
[23:09] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> We can have a conversation.
[23:09] * @The Intern sighs.
[23:09] <@The Intern> The problem is these conversations are unproductive.
[23:10] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Because we're not asking the right questions.
[23:10] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I won't pretend to know what the right ones are.
[23:10] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> But at this point we need to make some shots in the dark and see what we can find--
[23:10] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium taps Paise on the shoulder
[23:10] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> I want to try.
[23:11] <@The Intern> ...Xadium.
[23:11] <Adam Kanal> Time Lord brain could work.
[23:11] <Adam Kanal> Especially one with a... connection.
[23:11] <Nelius Raoul> Hell of a risk, though.
[23:11] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte gently props Abe against the wall.
[23:11] * Adam Kanal pulls out a tarot card, The Devil.
[23:11] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> I want to try talking.
[23:11] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Oi. Kanal. Where'd you get that.
[23:12] <Adam Kanal> An old friend.
[23:12] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte gently taps on Abe's mind like a door
[23:12] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ♦ I'm speaking to the Nightfall in this girl's head.
[23:12] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ♦ We request an audience.
[23:12] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ♦ speak through this woman.
[23:13] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ♦ Please.
[23:13] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte withdraws from her mind
[23:13] * Abe Hisoka trembles. There's a giggle and a crack in any voice she might have, then an ecstatic shriek of joy.
[23:13] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I knocked on the "door"
[23:13] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ..And someone was home.
[23:14] * The Actuary stands quietly behind Neminix.
[23:14] * Abe Hisoka licks her lips, arms wrapping about herself.
[23:14] <Abe Hisoka> ♦ First you steal my pet away again, then you bother me when I am busy.
[23:14] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium closes his eyes for a moment, banishing the unbidden memories of the past
[23:15] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Come now, Mania, you're a good multitasker as I recall~
[23:15] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Surely you can spare us a slice of your conciousness~
[23:15] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium shoots Intern a look
[23:15] <Abe Hisoka> ♦ I did not say I was stopping my activities. What. Do. You. Want.
[23:15] * @The Intern arranges with MAgistra to get one more probe past the barrier to take some readings
[23:16] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Well first of all, to say hello! It's been a very long time.
[23:16] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium leans in a bit closer. "Oh, right, you might not recognize the face. I recently had some work done."
[23:16] <Abe Hisoka> ♦ I know you. I feel you. I felt so much of you before.
[23:17] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> snrrk
[23:17] <Abe Hisoka> ♦ Stopped running from me, have you?
[23:17] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium punches Paise in the back of the head casually
[23:17] <Nelius Raoul> ......
[23:17] <David O`Cain> (Probably in more ways than one.)
[23:17] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ..|..
[23:17] <The Magistra> When was someone running?
[23:17] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Indeed so.
[23:18] <Adam Kanal> Concentrate on the barrier, Magistra.
[23:18] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> It looks like the wheel that started turning so very long ago is finally coming 'round once again.
[23:18] <Abe Hisoka> ♦ And I was so close to coming fully too.
[23:18] <Nelius Raoul> ......................
[23:18] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Don't worry, it happens to everyone.
[23:18] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Now then.
[23:18] <David O`Cain> ♦ (She was coming alright.)
[23:19] * Nelius Raoul marks a 2 on a counter marked "Double Entendres".
[23:19] <The Magistra> The barrier is self sustaining at this piont
[23:19] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Last time you vanished with nary a trace. Destroyed so much in your wake.
[23:19] <@The Intern> Lady MAgistra get this probe through the crack
[23:19] <David O`Cain> - (Spare us the details, you moron.) -
[23:19] <David O`Cain> ♦ (What?)
[23:19] <Adam Kanal> Then maybe just shut up? Ever tried that?
[23:19] * @The Intern hands her a probe
[23:20] <Abe Hisoka> ♦ Oh you're going to probe my crack are you?
[23:20] <Abe Hisoka> ♦ I am sorry to say you're late to that draw.
[23:20] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Even I can't rememebr exactly how that all ended.
[23:20] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Mmm, I've got a redhead nowadays.
[23:20] * Nelius Raoul puts a third mark on the counter.
[23:20] <Abe Hisoka> ♦ You always seemed to like that type.
[23:20] * The Magistra sets a small hole in the barrier, slightly bigger then the probe, to be able to let obejcts go though from the hotel sidie and shoves it though
[23:21] <Abe Hisoka> ♦ Now, is this important?
[23:21] <Abe Hisoka> ♦ Or are you simply looking for a quick tongue.
[23:21] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Oh, everything's important.
[23:21] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> After all, you've come back again.
[23:21] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> And I want to greet you properly.
[23:21] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Oh right...
[23:21] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium presses a finger to his forehead
[23:21] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Almost forgot.
[23:22] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Where's Shaldra Darkness? *grin*
[23:22] <Abe Hisoka> ♦ How cute. You think I would say it if I knew?
[23:22] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> So you don't know.
[23:23] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Hiding behind that crack of yours.
[23:23] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Waiting for us like a spider.
[23:23] <Abe Hisoka> ♦ I leave the door open for visits~.
[23:23] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Oh yes~
[23:23] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> I know.
[23:23] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> But why so antisocial? come visit us~
[23:24] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> After all, poor Nocturne is having to be your messenger girl.
[23:24] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Last time you were here you had such fun hopping from one to another as I recall.
[23:24] <Abe Hisoka> ♦ That daughter of mine enjoys coming for short visits to bug everyone. She's cute like that.
[23:24] * @The Intern is monitoring energy levels on the probe as the conversation goes
[23:25] * @The Intern is trying to see how "cohesive" the surrounding space is
[23:25] <spiritflame> - rolls 1d10 [ 5 ]
[23:25] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> So you've got Darkness in there.
[23:25] * - There's high energy level all right.
[23:25] <Abe Hisoka> ♦ I have whatever I need all wrapped up~.
[23:26] <@The Intern> /me is trying to see if the cohesion of matter and energy stays constant as Nightfall is engaged
[23:26] <Abe Hisoka> ♦ And this girl is surprisingly good at taking what we push into her.
[23:26] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Mmm. I put a lot of work into her, you know.
[23:26] * Adam Kanal texts Amaya ◜Whatever goes down, I want you to keep your faith in me. I'm sorry I didn't keep my faith in you or Furu.◞
[23:26] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> snrrk
[23:26] * Nelius Raoul puts a fourth mark into the counter.
[23:26] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium whaps her
[23:26] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> I forget just how many lives I gave up to help her be independent.
[23:27] <Abe Hisoka> ♦ And then it all broke down and I fled back into that damned woman.
[23:27] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> five? six?
[23:27] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Yes well.
[23:27] <Abe Hisoka> ♦ You do look well, however. Did you gain more?
[23:27] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> how did you get into her anyway.
[23:27] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> I did.
[23:28] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Like the hair? I like the hair.
[23:28] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> not the time, X
[23:28] <Abe Hisoka> ♦ The hair is fabulous.
[23:28] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> I mean that was one thing that's been lost to me over time and years.
[23:28] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> You arrives as... "Lust" was it?
[23:28] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> ^arrived
[23:29] <Abe Hisoka> ♦ Oh, back in the day....
[23:29] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> And then Yai gave you a bootylicious body.
[23:29] <Abe Hisoka> ♦ Another who I have yet to speak with!
[23:30] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> I rememebr you _really_ liked him.
[23:30] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> I'll get him for you later, if you like~
[23:30] <Abe Hisoka> ♦ Oh please do.
[23:30] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> but the price is indulging me in this conversation.
[23:30] <Nelius Raoul> ....(Hm, that sounded a lot like the Horrorterror that possessed Yumiko.)
[23:30] * Amaya texts Adam ◜Hm?◞
[23:30] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> You know...
[23:30] <Abe Hisoka> ♦ Do I look like I am stopping my approach?
[23:30] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium inches a bit closer.
[23:30] * Claudia Remieux is slightly distracted at all of this.
[23:31] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> you are so strong now~ ♡
[23:31] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> It's just... just amazing~
[23:31] <The Actuary> .
[23:31] <Nelius Raoul> ...(Aw hell, Claudia's still here-- she's likely confused as all hell about this.)
[23:31] * Adam Kanal texts Amaya ◜Trust me. It's going down. I'm yelling "timber".◞
[23:31] <Abe Hisoka> ♦ If you're asking for a kiss I am sad to say you will not get the response you desire. But.
[23:31] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> I have to say, I'm impressed.
[23:31] * Abe Hisoka leans in and kisses "Doc"~
[23:32] * Amaya texts Adam ◜ You better move!◞
[23:32] * Abe Hisoka grasps his hair, keeps him close. Just refuses to stop.
[23:32] <Nelius Raoul> ......that sight is gonna take a lot to unsee.
[23:32] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium closes his eyes, and his mind. Puts up a wall.
[23:32] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium doesn't pull back. however.
[23:32] <Claudia Remieux> This is all so very strange.
[23:32] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium is a dead fish in the face of her.
[23:32] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium quells all emotion
[23:33] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium just waits.
[23:33] <Claudia Remieux> Huh.
[23:33] * Abe Hisoka finally pulls back and pouts.
[23:33] <Claudia Remieux> Is this the real you?
[23:33] <Abe Hisoka> ♦ You're a terrible kisser.
[23:33] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium exhales a bit and opens his eyes
[23:34] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> So. Tell me. How did a lil' ol' Lust demon like you achieve Apotheosis/
[23:34] <Adam Kanal> Who?
[23:34] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> ^?
[23:34] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> It really is impressive.
[23:34] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium uses his sleeve to wipe off his lips coldly.
[23:34] * Claudia Remieux is looking right at Xadium with that question.
[23:34] <Claudia Remieux> Is this the real you?
[23:34] <Abe Hisoka> ♦ Really? Is it that hard to figure out just how I got to the top?
[23:34] <Nelius Raoul> (Apotheosis?)
[23:34] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium looks backa t Claudia
[23:35] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium winks once.
[23:35] * Claudia Remieux has this weird look on her face.
[23:35] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium turns back to Abe
[23:35] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Yes, yes, Sex.
[23:35] * Claudia Remieux can't see that lol
[23:35] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> But that's so glib an answer.
[23:35] <Adam Kanal> Claudia...
[23:35] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> There's not enough libido in the universe for that.
[23:35] * Claudia Remieux snaps out of her weirdness
[23:35] <Claudia Remieux> Huh?
[23:35] <Claudia Remieux> Yes?
[23:36] <Adam Kanal> Who were you talking to?
[23:36] * @The Intern wonders what the entergy levels were like when Mania was not having her lust reciprocated.
[23:36] <Abe Hisoka> ♦ You are lucky I have other-- aahhnn~~♡ things to entertain me while I speak with you.
[23:36] <Claudia Remieux> The guy kissing the girl.
[23:36] * @The Intern checks the probe logs
[23:36] <Claudia Remieux> He didn't seem very good at it
[23:37] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Oh, you destroyed my life once before.
[23:37] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> There's precious little you could do to me now.
[23:37] * - There was no change, but it is likely that her needs are being taken care of elsewhere.
[23:37] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> So let's move past the threats.
[23:37] <Abe Hisoka> ♦ I don't know. Gemini sounds delicious.
[23:37] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> You're a being of needs.
[23:37] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Heh, she's stronger than you think.
[23:38] * Adam Kanal waves his hand infront of Claudia's face, about a foot away
[23:38] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> So what is this little adventure of yours getting you.
[23:38] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> I mean sex? you've got that.
[23:38] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> you've got what, a little castle in there too.
[23:38] * Claudia Remieux can't see s[BLEEP]t
[23:38] <The Magistra> That's not exqactly hard to get these days
[23:38] <Abe Hisoka> ♦ Amusement? Power?
[23:38] <Abe Hisoka> ♦ Ahahaha, little.
[23:39] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> A little vacation wasteland you created in the middle of a dead universe.
[23:39] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Oh? I'm sorry, I never saw it.
[23:39] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> What's it like?
[23:39] <Abe Hisoka> ♦ Then you should visit!
[23:39] <Adam Kanal> How did you...
[23:39] <Abe Hisoka> ♦ I can give you the grand tour.
[23:39] <Claudia Remieux> Mmm?
[23:40] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Hmm how much time would I have to block off for that, I mean it's ten rooms right, a few hours~?
[23:40] *** Indigo [sadgirl@inavolcano.jp] has joined #suburbansenshi2
[23:40] <@spiritflame> konbanwa indigo
[23:40] <Adam Kanal> How did you see that?
[23:40] <Abe Hisoka> ♦ As long as you--
[23:40] * Abe Hisoka turns her attention well away from Doc.
[23:40] * Abe Hisoka looks over at the senshi.
[23:40] <Abe Hisoka> ♦ I missed you~ ♡
[23:40] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> (Tch. NOW!?)
[23:41] * Indigo stares at Abe.
[23:41] <Indigo> Do I...
[23:41] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium forces himself to stay utterly neutral.
[23:41] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Indigo.
[23:41] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Listen to me.
[23:41] <Indigo> What?
[23:41] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Stay very calm.
[23:41] <Abe Hisoka> ♦ Oh must she? She tried that and I just could not get past that fuku.
[23:41] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Use your iron soul training and center your mind to a still point.
[23:41] <Claudia Remieux> I can see things on weird levels.
[23:42] * Nelius Raoul subtly prepares to move if the Nightfall-possessed Hisoka tries anything.
[23:42] <Adam Kanal> Can you see this?
[23:42] <Indigo> What are you going on about.
[23:42] <Indigo> This is very spontaneous.
[23:42] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Kill all your emotions for me.
[23:42] <Claudia Remieux> See what?
[23:42] * Adam Kanal holds up the tarot card he got from Elizabeth.
[23:42] <Claudia Remieux> Hmmmm.
[23:42] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Consider it a training exercise.
[23:43] <Indigo> This is a really weird time to do this. But fine.
[23:43] * Indigo focuses.
[23:43] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Good on you.
[23:43] <Abe Hisoka> ♦ Yes, Focus, settle your poor mind.
[23:43] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> So, Mania. Vacations. We were discussing them.
[23:43] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> How long would I need to tour your little estate~
[23:44] <Abe Hisoka> ♦ Come and speak with me in person if you would like to make an appointment. I assure you, my costs are cheap~.

[00:43] <Adam Kanal> It's not a typical tarot card. She could see it.
[00:44] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> What did she mean "our souls compose the Major Arcana." Was that just poetic licence....
[00:44] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Or are they actually related to the cards.

[00:49] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I like to think so!
[00:49] <The Magistra> Wasn't "Smart Cookie" the name of a pony
[00:49] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Probably.
[00:49] <Mew> Can you do something for me.
[00:49] <The Magistra> ....Now I want a cookie
[00:49] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> But I do my fair share of stabbing wildly in the dark as well.
[00:49] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Sure.
[00:49] <Mew> Because I can't f[BLEEP]king do it unless you ask me.
[00:49] <Mew> my job description sucks.
[00:50] <Mew> Ask me to find Shaldra.
[00:50] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Certainly.
[00:50] <Mew> Just please.
[00:50] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ...........
[00:50] <Mew> I'm sitting here waiting and I can't go do it.
[00:50] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> You're s[BLEEP]tting me.
[00:50] <Mew> Without you guys asking.

[00:52] <General Marianna> Why am I here?
[00:52] * The Actuary bites her tongue
[00:52] * David O`Cain lightly waves
[00:52] <The Actuary> Err... General Marianna...
[00:53] * The Magistra looks at General Marianna.
[00:53] *** General Marianna is a silver and violet haired young woman dressed in a close fitting violet warrior's dress, cut high up either thigh for mobility. Armor covers her legs and lower arms, and a royal purple cape drapes down over her shoulders. A long sword hangs from her hip. More information about her is Here.

[00:53] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Your help is needed.
[00:53] <The Magistra> Mew found her for us?
[00:54] <General Marianna> My sister dragged me here.
[00:54] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> There's an emergency of rather... universal scope.
[00:54] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> And... sadly you're sort of in the middle of it.
[00:55] <General Marianna> Again?
[00:55] <The Actuary> (She probably doesn't even know who I am...)
[00:55] * General Marianna rubs her temples.
[00:55] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Hahah I know that feeling believe you me.

[00:56] * Mew waaaaaanders back in.
[00:56] <Adam Kanal> She's not time displaced, is she?
[00:56] <Mew> I found her horrorterror and stuffed her into her body.
[00:56] <The Magistra> Is that good or bad?
[00:56] <David O`Cain> Whatever works, huh?
[00:56] <General Marianna> Of course I do.
[00:57] * The Actuary ruffles her own hair to hide her eyes
[00:57] <Mew> She isn't concrete here but f[BLEEP]k if she wasn't tied into the Star Ocean incident I think s[BLEEP]t would have gotten crazy.
[00:57] * The Actuary stands there, trying not to sniffle
[00:57] <General Marianna> Sometimes I do forget you're smart.
[00:58] <Mew> Oh f[BLEEP]k off.

[01:00] <The Actuary> I don't want to lose you again...
[01:00] <General Marianna> you look good, Nori.
[01:00] <General Marianna> I don't know what's going on. But you won't lose me. Not this time.

[01:02] <General Marianna> Now then. What is happening?
[01:02] <The Actuary> I just... you... yes... we need your help...

[01:02] <The Actuary> Mania is using her, or vice versa...
[01:02] <General Marianna> She has what.
[01:03] <The Actuary> I don't know... It's not clear...
[01:03] * The Actuary straightens herself up and blows her nose on her sleeve, forcing herself to be calm and clear headed
[01:03] * The Actuary points to the crack in the universe
[01:03] <The Actuary> Behind there....
[01:03] <The Actuary> She waits.
[01:04] <The Actuary> Growing in power. Insane. Wanting to be her own person. Wanting to rewrite reality.
[01:04] <General Marianna> Oh. Good.
[01:04] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte is holding noriko's mind together with a calm grip
[01:04] <General Marianna> I suppose she could not just be persuaded to eat the energy of planets like the good old days?
[01:05] * The Actuary blinks
[01:05] <The Actuary> Oh right... her minio... wha...
[01:05] <General Marianna> A Ten Wise Men joke. Sorry. Well before your time.
[01:05] <The Actuary> [[THAT'S HOW
[01:05] <The Actuary> that could explain it.
[01:05] <The Actuary> Father and I were at a loss...
[01:05] <The Actuary> As to how she got so damned powerful.
[01:06] <The Actuary> Mania and Darkness...
[01:06] * The Actuary spins around, pullin her mind into focus on her own
[01:06] <The Actuary> What... what exactly can Darkness _do_?
[01:06] <The Actuary> I mean not her shadow powers...
[01:06] <The Actuary> But the rest of it...
[01:06] <The Actuary> What did the Wise Men give her the power to do?
[01:07] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte lets go of Nori's mind.
[01:07] <General Marianna> Collect and store energy.
[01:07] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> What kind...
[01:07] <General Marianna> I never allowed her to once I gained a grasp on my own head, mind you.
[01:08] <The Actuary> ^
[01:08] <The Actuary> (So that's why no one knew...)
[01:08] <The Actuary> Is there any way to curb this without hurting her?
[01:08] <Adam Kanal> Claudia, I have a question.
[01:08] <General Marianna> I refuse to let Mania grasp my head again. But if you handle her. I can take her in.
[01:09] <Claudia Remieux> Mmm?
[01:09] * Adam Kanal holds up his tarot card one more time.
[01:09] <Adam Kanal> Do you think I'm the Devil?
[01:09] <General Marianna> It will be rough, but I can try.
[01:09] <The Actuary> Hmm.
[01:09] <The Actuary> ....Mother... be honest with me.
[01:09] <Claudia Remieux> I don't know you very well.
[01:09] <The Actuary> Do you want her in your head again.
[01:09] <Claudia Remieux> Should I think that?
[01:10] <Adam Kanal> I'm not sure anymore.
[01:10] * General Marianna looks off into the distance in thought.
[01:10] * Claudia Remieux looks at him
[01:10] <Claudia Remieux> ....
[01:10] <Adam Kanal> Because I am looking to save someone I care about.
[01:10] <Claudia Remieux> For whatever it is you have tasked yourself to do.
[01:10] <Claudia Remieux> I forgive you.
[01:11] <General Marianna> Would to have asked me that question years ago, long ago, I would say no.
[01:11] * Adam Kanal looks down and to the corner, his mouth forming a slight frown.
[01:11] * The Actuary nods softly
[01:11] <The Actuary> If it's something... you can take...
[01:11] <The Actuary> We can do our best.
[01:12] <General Marianna> As I am and as she is. I do not truly know.
[01:12] <Adam Kanal> I need to find Jedda.
[01:12] <General Marianna> From what you tell me she is powerful in her own right.
[01:12] <General Marianna> And she-- Jedda?
[01:12] <Claudia Remieux> Jedda Rain is on the other side of that crack.
[01:12] <Claudia Remieux> Through space and time.
[01:12] * Claudia Remieux points to the one that is not to Nightfall
[01:13] <General Marianna> I need to do a lot of catching up it seems.
[01:13] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Yeaaah there's actually two crises at once.
[01:13] <Adam Kanal> Thank you.
[01:13] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> .... and f[BLEEP]k me,
[01:13] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> We need you for that too.

[01:14] <Adam Kanal> I'm gonna be her undoctor.
[01:14] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I may call you Shaldra, Mayn't i?
[01:14] <General Marianna> Of course she did. Wonderful.
[01:14] <General Marianna> It is my name.
[01:14] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Good because I already am.
[01:14] <General Marianna> Though your face is new. You're a mage of some kind?
[01:14] * The Magistra just stares at Shaldra, unsure of what to make of her.
[01:15] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Err, A Sorceress of sorts. Specialties are Mind and Time.
[01:15] <The Magistra> I belive I am the only actual Magi in the room
[01:15] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Human, but trained by the Sisterhood of KArn.
[01:15] * General Marianna snorts.
[01:15] * Adam Kanal walks over to the bunker entrance, pulling out a duffelbag of weapons, and walking over to the non-Nightfall crack.
[01:16] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I can play with mana a little but I'm s[BLEEP]t at it.
[01:16] <General Marianna> I have heard of the sisters of Karn. Impressive. We should talk some time.

[01:37] * The Actuary nods
[01:37] * General Marianna flicks her tail happily.
[01:38] * The Actuary shows her a picture of Abe Hisoka and another of Nocturne
[01:38] <The Actuary> Be wary of these people.
[01:38] <The Actuary> Avoid them.
[01:38] <The Actuary> They're being controlled by the enemy.
[01:38] <The Actuary> ...the enemy.
[01:38] <The Actuary> Feh.
[01:38] <The Actuary> I hate calling her that.
[01:39] <General Marianna> odd pair.
[01:39] <The Actuary> Indeed.
[01:39] <General Marianna> Regardless. I will watch my back.
[01:40] <The Actuary> And keep your emotions clear.
[01:40] <The Actuary> It looks like that may help a bit.
[01:40] <General Marianna> Surprisingly easy while my head is empty.
[01:40] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> /snrrk
[01:41] * The Actuary DEATH GLARES PAISLEY
[01:41] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte recoils
[01:41] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Come ON IT WAS RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF ME
[01:41] * The Actuary ZWEES AND DROPKICKS HER OUT THE DOOR
[01:42] *** Paisley Pythia Peinforte [paisely_p@firstcircle.karn03-kasterborusrelay.sen] has quit IRC (GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH)
[01:42] * General Marianna raises an eyebrow.
[01:42] * General Marianna stops and touches her face.
[01:42] * The Actuary dusts off her hands
[01:42] * General Marianna runs her fingers over her left eye.
[01:42] <The Actuary> You all right?
[01:42] <General Marianna> It is... odd, having this back.
[01:42] * The Actuary looks for the red mark
[01:42] * General Marianna has no marks. No scars on her face.
[01:42] <The Actuary> Oh yes...
[01:42] * General Marianna has her left eye.
[01:43] <The Actuary> It is... good to see you whole.
[01:43] <The Actuary> I don't think I ever have.
[01:43] * @The Intern quietly files her reports for the week whilst comping on cheetos
[01:43] <@The Intern> ^chomping
[01:44] <General Marianna> I had not been for a while.
[01:44] <General Marianna> And who knows how long I will remain this way.
[01:44] <The Actuary> I...
[01:45] <The Actuary> I will fight to preserve you in whatever form you wish.
[01:45] <General Marianna> is the rest of me about besides Darkness?
[01:45] * The Actuary gestures broadly to the TV, where corruptor's venn diagram of the intersecting universes is still up
[01:45] <The Actuary> Yes.
[01:45] <The Actuary> Kusanagi is around..
[01:46] <The Actuary> And Abraxas-- a fragon who contains your magic
[01:46] <The Actuary> ^dragon
[01:46] <The Actuary> But Abraxas is not interested in a return to the Status Quo...
[01:46] <The Actuary> Though I wonder...
[01:46] <The Actuary> she owes us one wish.
[01:46] <General Marianna> Magic is like that.
[01:46] <The Actuary> I wonder if she could grant you your magic back without losing her own.
[01:47] <The Actuary> And Abe...
[01:47] <The Actuary> that girl from the photo...
[01:47] <The Actuary> I believe she held Darkness.
[01:47] <General Marianna> That is a dangerous thing to do.
[01:47] <General Marianna> I am amazed she isn't in worse shape.
[01:48] <The Actuary> (( I''m foggy on that point, i have a feeling there's more to it but i'm grogging a bit ))
[01:48] <The Actuary> She's fairly hardy.
[01:48] * The Actuary points to the TV
[01:48] <The Actuary> the universes are slowly intersecting.
[01:49] <General Marianna> Hm.
[01:49] <The Actuary> We may not be able to get your old lives back...
[01:49] <The Actuary> But we might be able to start something new.
[01:49] <The Actuary> That is my hope.
[01:49] <General Marianna> There is always hope.
[01:50] * The Actuary smiles
[01:50] * The Actuary staggers a bit, she's still recovering from going full shadow earlier.
[01:50] <spiritflame> General Marianna rolls 1d100 [ 36 ]
[01:50] * General Marianna gently puts a hand on Noriko's shoulder.
[01:50] <General Marianna> You should rest.
[01:50] <The Actuary> hmm?
[01:51] <The Actuary> Yes... I think so.
[01:51] <The Actuary> You as well.
[01:51] <The Actuary> Again, it is very good to see you.
[01:51] <General Marianna> I will rest... eventually.
[01:51] * The Actuary nods
[01:52] * The Actuary stands straight and salutes
[01:52] * General Marianna salutes.
[01:52] * General Marianna smiles and hugs her.
[01:52] * @The Intern drops her works, stands and follows her lead, saluting
[01:52] <General Marianna> It is good to see you again.
[01:52] * The Actuary hugs back tightly
[01:52] <The Actuary> Same here... mother
[01:52] * The Actuary lets go and smiles
[01:52] <The Actuary> We'll get through this.
[01:53] <General Marianna> We shall.
[01:53] <The Actuary> Nemeni--- Intern will be accompanying you sunday.
[01:53] <The Actuary> I trust her with my life, and yours.
[01:53] <The Actuary> (I was not invited)
[01:54] <The Actuary> I will see you again.
[01:54] <General Marianna> I doubt Jedda invited me either.
[01:54] <The Actuary> Heh. Well, She was.
[01:54] <The Actuary> So she will be my eyes and ears.
[01:54] <@The Intern> As always!
[01:54] * @The Intern is still saluting.
[01:55] <General Marianna> At ease.
[01:55] <General Marianna> I do wish my men were as well trained.
[01:55] * @The Intern stops
[01:55] <@The Intern> I had... the best teacher!
[01:55] <@The Intern> She was very strict!
[01:55] * The Actuary chuckles to herself.
[01:55] <The Actuary> Go get some rest, Neminix.
[01:55] <The Actuary> You have a hard weekend ahead.
[01:56] <@The Intern> Yes Ma'am!

[01:56] <The Actuary> Goodnight, mother.
[01:56] <General Marianna> Good night.
[01:56] <General Marianna> Dinner tomorrow night?
[01:56] * The Actuary bows
[01:56] <The Actuary> Yes.
[01:56] <The Actuary> I would enjoy that.
[01:57] <The Actuary> I'll be there.
[01:57] * The Actuary allows herself a smile
[01:57] * General Marianna pulls back her cloak and bows.

[09:04] * @Texas_Samurai sets out some breakfast fer everyone
[09:04] * @Texas_Samurai has laid out pancakes, pain-fried streaks, cereal, juice etc
[09:05] <@The Intern> This smells good, Miss Gemini! :D
[09:05] <@Texas_Samurai> Nothin' beats a good breakfast!
[09:06] <@The Intern> I second that.
[09:06] <@Texas_Samurai> Sit! Eat! Ah made ya three extra helpin's! :D
[09:06] <@The Intern> T_T
[09:07] <@The Intern> Truly you are a goddess
[09:07] * @Texas_Samurai giggles "Naw, Ah jus' like makin' sure everyone's well-fed."
[09:07] * @The Intern joyfully sits and eats T_T
[09:08] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Morning! :D
[09:08] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium huggles Gems :D
[09:08] <@Texas_Samurai> Mornin' darlin' ♡
[09:08] * The Actuary joins them too
[09:09] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Full morning today!
[09:09] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Yeah.
[09:09] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte makes her way to the table
[09:09] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium eats some Cheerios
[09:10] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte has sausages, eggs and potatoes.
[09:10] <Nelius Raoul> Room for one more?
[09:10] *** Nelius Raoul has joined #suburbansenshi2
[09:10] <@spiritflame> ohayo nelius raoul
[09:11] * Nelius Raoul enters the Lobby. There's a bag slung over his shoulder.
[09:11] <@Texas_Samurai> Yup! Come on down!
[09:11] <@Texas_Samurai> What'll ya have?
[09:12] <Nelius Raoul> What
[09:12] <Nelius Raoul> *What have you got?
[09:12] * Nelius Raoul squishes a typo-demon underfoot.
[09:12] <@Texas_Samurai> Steaks, cereal, eggs, pancakes, waffles, toast...
[09:12] * @Texas_Samurai starts rattlin' off a ton of food.
[09:13] <Nelius Raoul> Hm, been a while since I had a good steak.
[09:14] * @Texas_Samurai has great Texas-Style pan-fried steak
[09:14] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> So, Xadium, it looks like our gamble paid off.
[09:14] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Yes.
[09:15] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> It stood to reason.
[09:15] <The Actuary> The readings only dipped a little, but it was still encouraging.
[09:15] <Nelius Raoul> (Gambit? Their confrontation with Nightfall the other night?)
[09:16] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte explaisn to Nelius
[09:16] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> See...
[09:16] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Nightfall is in large part a being called "Mania"
[09:17] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Who is, as you can tell, big on Lust, and Sex, and things like that.
[09:17] * Nelius Raoul samples some of the steak. It's nicely done.
[09:17] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Basically strong, primal emotions.
[09:17] <Nelius Raoul> Kinda figured that, considering how she acted through Hisoka.
[09:17] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Right. Yes. Well... part of the reason why I force-regenerated myself...
[09:18] <Nelius Raoul> ?
[09:19] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Was because my emotional control was no good.
[09:19] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> I knew that the minute I knew my reaction to Mania.
[09:20] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> There was so much hate for what she'd done to me and Shaldra.
[09:20] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> I'd have been easy prey.
[09:21] <Nelius Raoul> Ah.
[09:21] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> So I asked the Reverend Mother of the Sisterhood to help me with a targeted regeneration.
[09:21] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Something very stable and controlled.
[09:22] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> And thankfully I was able to resist rising to Mania's bait.
[09:22] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> snrrk "rising"
[09:22] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> ....What are you, five? :P
[09:23] <Nelius Raoul> On a small level, I felt her trying to spread that lust-field around, almost like a mind-cancer. Here I thought I got away from that crap when I left the other world.
[09:23] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte eats her sausage, momming mischievously.
[09:23] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Well *swallow* I'd be careful about just pegging her as "Lust" and calling it a day.
[09:24] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> That's how she started, but in my experience beings like this tend to evolve and spread out.
[09:24] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> There's no question she powers up a lot by getting her jollies.
[09:25] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> But it looks like keeping emotions out of things helps cut down her impact on a person quite a lot, and it seemed good offensively too.
[09:25] <The Actuary> The strategy then...
[09:26] <The Actuary> Would seem to be to find a way to prevent her from feeding on emotions.
[09:26] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Well she seems to have a harem of sex slaves in her realm.
[09:26] <@Texas_Samurai> (Such wonderful breakfast conversation, y'all)
[09:27] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> So we need to take those out of commission somehow.
[09:27] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Say.
[09:27] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> does Sakura still have the formula for Anti-viagra that she used on Chibiusa WAAAAY back when?
[09:28] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> I don't know?
[09:28] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> We should look into that.
[09:28] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> f it was good enough to turn Chibiusa into a bloody nun it might make those slaves disinterested.
[09:29] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> But I can almost bet she'd immediately try to switch to other emotions. Most likely though, they wouldn't have the same "bang" for the buck.
[09:29] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> hahaha I see what you did there.
[09:30] * @The Intern has finished an entire stack of pancakes.
[09:30] * @The Intern moves on to another
[09:31] <Nelius Raoul> Still, there is another matter.... tomorrow's the deadline for Jedda Rain.
[09:31] <The Actuary> Gemini, where's Malthus?
[09:31] <@Texas_Samurai> Ah got him set up on th' ranch back in Texas.
[09:31] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> It is.
[09:31] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> You ready for that, Intern?
[09:31] <@The Intern> I... I think so.
[09:32] <The Actuary> Father... there's one other thing you should know.
[09:32] <The Actuary> They found... General Marianna.
[09:32] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium pauses for a split second, but keeps sipping his juice.
[09:32] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> She doing well?
[09:33] <The Actuary> Very well, it seems, considering what she's been through.
[09:33] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Good to hear.
[09:33] <@The Intern> She'll be coming along Sunday...
[09:33] <@Texas_Samurai> That's why y' wanted Malthus right?
[09:34] <The Actuary> Yes. I promised to bring him back
[09:34] <@Texas_Samurai> Ah'll miss that Giant fella.
[09:34] <Nelius Raoul> (Though from here, there's only 28 days to stop Nightfall from succeeding where the Demon Lord of the last world failed.)
[09:35] <Nelius Raoul> (Though there's a hell of a lot more at stake.)
[09:35] <The Actuary> Heheh.
[09:36] * @Texas_Samurai stands behind X n' rests her hands on his shoulder. "Y'all right?"
[09:36] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Yup.
[09:39] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> So about Jedda... are we actually ready for this?
[09:39] * all eyes turn to Paisley and Intern
[09:39] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ..
[09:39] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte sighs
[09:39] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I don't honestly know.
[09:40] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> There's a lot of information in the air.
[09:40] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> But we've been juggling so much stuff... I don't feel confident that I know how you all can talk Jedda down.
[09:41] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I do think Jinan is the key, but that's been f[BLEEP]king Neon Signposted so that's no accomplishment.
[09:41] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> My theory is she's the one who kicked off all this in the first place.
[09:42] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Went back in time and got the Asters on board, making a Predestination Paradox, taking their gifts from the future and giving it to them in the past.
[09:42] <The Actuary> But to what end.
[09:43] <The Actuary> What does setting a blood feud into motion that would endanger her own life serve?
[09:43] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Yeah that's where it all goes tits up
[09:43] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> however...
[09:43] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Her birth may have been the result of these families contacting due to the feud.
[09:44] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> So therefore it would be necessary to have it. Plus it might unlock powers that she would later use.
[09:44] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> F[BLEEP]k. The Devil Card, we need to know more about it.
[09:45] <Nelius Raoul> Devil? As in, the Tarot?
[09:45] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Yes.
[09:45] <@The Intern> "A reversed pentagram, with two points projecting upwards, is a symbol of evil and attracts sinister forces because it overturns the proper order of things and demonstrates the triumph of matter over spirit. It is the goat of lust attacking the heavens with its horns, a sign execrated by initiates."
[09:45] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Lust attacking the heavens.
[09:45] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Where have we heard THAT one before.
[09:47] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> In Jungian terms, he is The Shadow: all the repressed, unmentioned or unmentionable desires that lurk beneath.
[09:47] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> The chains are loose. They can be slipped. The Devil’s own torch can light the way out and light the return, back to the surface.
[09:48] <@The Intern> How does this help with Jedda Rain...
[09:48] <The Actuary> Also, not to distract.
[09:48] <The Actuary> Last night, Io acted oddly.
[09:48] <The Actuary> She resisted nightfall successfully, but then flipped a coin and kicked Abe back to her.
[09:48] <The Actuary> that coinflip mechanism feels very familiar.
[09:50] <Nelius Raoul> Even so, Tarot cards have two definitions, depending on if they're upright or reversed.
[09:51] <Nelius Raoul> To highlight both the positive and negative aspects.
[09:52] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Yes.
[09:53] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Jedda wanted Jinan taken out.
[09:53] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Jinan may have been the one to start everything.
[09:54] <Nelius Raoul> We may need to consult with the woman who talked with Jinan some time ago.... didn't catch her name, though.
[09:54] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> If she was... then that could give Jedda her rest but it would also potentially remove Claudia from ever having been.
[09:54] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte rubs her head
[09:54] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> F[BLEEP]king...
[09:54] <Nelius Raoul> Temporal headache?
[09:55] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> It's like two trees that have grown together intertwined.
[09:55] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> and I hate saying
[09:55] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I can't walk and chew gum at the same time.
[09:55] <Nelius Raoul> Can't take one out without potentially harming the other.
[09:56] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> no it's not that, too much information to sift and not enough time.
[09:56] <Nelius Raoul> Though, if Jinan is supposed to represent The Devil in such terms, are we talking just one side of the aspects, or both at once?
[09:57] <Nelius Raoul> One of The Devil's negative aspects is being the loner, the misunderstood outcast.
[09:58] <Nelius Raoul> Of course, there's many definitions of how the card can be read, so taking this at face value probably isn't the best idea.
[09:58] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Or it might be everything.
[09:59] <Nelius Raoul> Maybe.
[10:00] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> After all the Tarot is a big thing in all this.
[10:00] * The Actuary gets an alert, strange goings on in the Minyan sector.

[10:03] * @Texas_Samurai is away: cleanin' up dishes
[10:04] <Nelius Raoul> Hm, about the only thing I can remember from what that woman managed to talk of Jinan was that she felt.... inadequate after entering the Budokai.
[10:04] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte stretches
[10:05] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Who felt inadequate
[10:05] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ?
[10:05] <Nelius Raoul> Jinan did, apparently. As I said before, we'll need to track down that woman who spoke with Jinan to get the full story.
[10:06] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Right.
[10:06] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> for now though I...
[10:07] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Oi, X.

[10:07] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Don't be a ba[BLEEP]rd. Go help your wwife do the dishes.
[10:07] <@E. E. "Doc" Xadium> Right.
[10:07] * @E.E. "Doc" Xadium is away: Sorry, a bit lazy at times.
[10:07] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> At times, he said.
[10:08] <Nelius Raoul> Hm.
[10:08] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Well, I should be off for now.
[10:08] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Things to do.
[10:09] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I'll be back later to do my research.
[10:09] <Nelius Raoul> Take care.

[13:51] <Nelius Raoul> Which did you draw?
[13:52] * Matsuo Shin shows The Emperor card
[13:54] <Nelius Raoul> The Emperor.... the word on authority and the power behind it. The abstract of establishment, stability and security.
[13:55] <Matsuo Shin> yeah that matches you
[13:57] <Nelius Raoul> Gotta be careful. While the Emperor does represent the qualities I mentioned, in the wrong light it can represent a world where stability is put higher than moral ethics.
[13:57] <Matsumi Kaze> oh no!
[13:58] <Nelius Raoul> In all, it can stand for structural stability, linear thinking and discipline.
[13:59] <Nelius Raoul> But too much of these attributes can lead to mental poverty and rational despotism.
[14:00] <Nelius Raoul> The drive of the Emperor is the mastery of will over nature, a sense for order and planning.
[14:01] <Nelius Raoul> While creative and a realist, if not careful, that realism can cause despotism, a lack of fantasy, their rationale becoming a mental prison.
[14:02] <Nelius Raoul> Hope I didn't weird either of you out too much.
[14:06] <Matsumi Kaze> hope I don't turn into a despot!
[14:08] <Nelius Raoul> You won't, Matsumi. Give consideration to the people, and always keep an open mind.
[14:11] * Nelius Raoul is away: Checking something. He will be back.
[14:40] * Nelius Raoul is back
[14:45] * Matsuo Shin is looking over his notes, wearing a pair of glasses
[14:45] <Matsumi Kaze> can I get you something to drink, raoul?
[14:46] <Nelius Raoul> I'm all right, thanks.
[14:49] <Matsuo Shin> figure out anything lately, raoul?
[14:49] <Nelius Raoul> Depends on what you're looking into. There's been a number of things going on.
[14:53] <Matsuo Shin> well I've been mostly concentrating on this rain problem
[14:53] <Nelius Raoul> Hell, tomorrow's the day Intern's going in to negotiate with Jedda Rain.
[14:54] <Matsuo Shin> ...I will need to be there
[14:54] <Nelius Raoul> Truth be told, from what I have pieced together, it almost seems as though the blood feud should've ended centuries ago, yet something or someone's forcing it to keep going for their own amusement.
[14:55] <Matsuo Shin> an outside force it seems
[14:55] <Matsuo Shin> yes the documents did mention one of of them experencing "whispers"
[14:57] <Matsuo Shin> interesting isn't it?
[14:57] <Nelius Raoul> Wouldn't be the first time an outside force made people dance to its tune.
[14:58] <Matsuo Shin> true
[14:59] * OtakuRedRanger [outside] enters this time via opening a portal in the lobby of the hotel
[14:59] * OtakuRedRanger has moved to: [ ]
[14:59] <OtakuRedRanger> hey everyone
[14:59] <Nelius Raoul> Yet, other than the possibility this outside force is an utter jackass, why make two families battle one another?
[14:59] <Nelius Raoul> Hey Lewis.
[15:00] <OtakuRedRanger> hey nelius, let me close this portal then i'll join in the convo
[15:00] <Matsuo Shin> hm...
[15:01] * OtakuRedRanger pulls out hs go-onger ranger key and flips the front to reveal the key part, pointing it at the portal and it close
[15:01] <Matsuo Shin> that's the question
[15:01] <OtakuRedRanger> so whats up people
[15:02] <Matsuo Shin> pondering
[15:03] <OtakuRedRanger> whats happened?
[15:03] <Nelius Raoul> Trying to figure the angle of the Rain-Aster conflict.
[15:03] <OtakuRedRanger> why is it a conflict, what caused it?
[15:03] <Nelius Raoul> Blood feud that stretches way back over several centuries.
[15:03] <OtakuRedRanger> what caused the bloodfeud?
[15:05] <Nelius Raoul> Apparently, an imprisoned Aster, a Bishop, disappeared out of nowhere. In response, it was said that the Asters were to be hunted down and killed. The Rains were the ones selected for this.
[15:05] <OtakuRedRanger> didn;t they check for magical influences? or secret passages?
[15:05] <Nelius Raoul> Yet, from what I overheard Paisley talk of, some Asters and Rains have married.
[15:05] <Matsuo Shin> yes we did..
[15:05] <Matsuo Shin> did we ever discover where that bishop went?
[15:06] <Nelius Raoul> That's right, you went back in time with Paisley. What happened to cause that disappearance?
[15:06] <Matsuo Shin> ..that's the odd thing...
[15:06] <Nelius Raoul> ?
[15:06] <Matsuo Shin> someone showed up...and..odd can't remember
[15:07] <Matsuo Shin> (( I need to reread the logs XD my memory is shot on this XD ))
[15:07] <Nelius Raoul> Hm... you think this person who showed up spirited the Aster Bishop away?
[15:07] <Nelius Raoul> Or did something to cause the disappearance?
[15:08] <OtakuRedRanger> could be
[15:09] <Matsuo Shin> perhaps so
[15:13] <OtakuRedRanger> maybe they took him
[15:18] <Matsuo Shin> perhaps so

[15:19] <@spiritflame> konnichiwa solarchos
[15:19] <Solarchos> Okay, what the frell did I miss last night? Somehow I got locked out of here.
[15:20] <OtakuRedRanger> wait tat happened2/
[15:20] <OtakuRedRanger> !?
[15:21] <Matsuo Shin> I'm not sure..I wasn't here last night
[15:21] <Solarchos> I'm hoping someone can inform me.
[15:21] <Solarchos> Because it seems that someone new arrived.
[15:22] <Nelius Raoul> Hey Solarchos.
[15:22] <Matsuo Shin> oh? who?
[15:23] <OtakuRedRanger> hi solarchos
[15:24] <Nelius Raoul> Well, you remember the whole deal over this Nightfall?
[15:24] <Solarchos> An old name. Marianna.
[15:25] <Solarchos> Plenty, Nelius. I'd wanted to be here last night for it.
[15:25] <Nelius Raoul> Well, apparently she incarnated here some time ago. Mango fished her out of that crack a few days ago.
[15:25] * Nelius Raoul points over to the crack in question, still barrier'd thanks to Magistra.
[15:26] <Nelius Raoul> Though, as to who this Marianna is, I don't know. He or she likely showed up after I headed off for other business.
[15:26] <Matsuo Shin> hm I see
[15:27] <Nelius Raoul> You'd have to track down either Doc or Paisley-- they were still there when I headed off.
[15:27] <Solarchos> I know Marianna VERY well.
[15:28] <Solarchos> As for HOW I should feel about her is something I'm still trying to figure out.
[15:29] <Matsuo Shin> so...she isn't a part of this..nightfall
[15:29] <Nelius Raoul> In the end, you'd have to track them down.
[15:30] <Solarchos> She is a part of it to some degree.
[15:30] <OtakuRedRanger> wait she came out the crack?
[15:30] * Matsuo Shin adjusts his glasses..so that the shininess hides his eyes
[15:30] <Solarchos> General Marianna is one of the commanders of the Nedean Defense Force of the planet Energy Nede. But Energy Nede was destroyed long ago...
[15:32] <OtakuRedRanger> well the crack does go into the alternate timeline of this universe
[15:32] <Solarchos> I suppose that makes some sense.
[15:32] <OtakuRedRanger> since we managed to get her out of it, maybe the crack caused here can randomly open doorways to points in time in that timeline
[15:33] <Solarchos> I wonder if I'm still declared "persona non grata" amongst the Nedeans.
[15:33] <OtakuRedRanger> you'd have to see ms mariana to find out
[15:33] <OtakuRedRanger> if she slaps you or tries to kill you then yes
[15:34] <Solarchos> But if Marianna's involved...ORR, has there been any further revelations about the Nightfall? Especially this apothesis Paisley mentioned?
[15:34] <Matsuo Shin> to be honest
[15:34] <Matsuo Shin> I think the jedda rain problem is more important at his point
[15:35] <OtakuRedRanger> i dunno myself
[15:35] <OtakuRedRanger> i only got here a few minutes ago myself

[15:36] <Solarchos> What's happening now?
[15:36] <Matsuo Shin> oh yes...before I forget
[15:36] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Apotheosis is a greek term.
[15:36] * Matsuo Shin removes his glasses
[15:37] <OtakuRedRanger> hey intern
[15:37] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> It means ascension to godhood.
[15:37] <@The Intern> Hello! :D
[15:37] <Solarchos> I was just about to say, Paisley.
[15:37] <Matsuo Shin> I must regret to inform that I will not be able to help you with the nightfall problem
[15:37] <OtakuRedRanger> like going god tier correct?
[15:37] <Matsuo Shin> I will have to remove myself rom it
[15:37] <Solarchos> I know what the term means and what it signifies.
[15:37] <Matsuo Shin> *from
[15:37] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> What happens now is th--- dammit Matsuo I need you for this,.
[15:37] <Matsuo Shin> yes well...
[15:37] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> My half-assed Oxford education only goes so far.
[15:38] <Matsuo Shin> I have a lecture tour to do for my new book
[15:38] <Matsuo Shin> it finally got published
[15:38] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte facefaults
[15:38] <Nelius Raoul> Nice.
[15:38] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Well that's good at elast.
[15:38] <OtakuRedRanger> nice
[15:38] <Matsuo Shin> I do have someone in mind to help you
[15:38] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Oh yes?
[15:38] <Matsuo Shin> girl is smart..taught her everything I know...
[15:38] <Matsuo Shin> and she traveled with Thrash
[15:38] <OtakuRedRanger> Matsumi?
[15:38] <Matsuo Shin> nooooo no no no no
[15:38] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> (then I feel sorry for her)
[15:39] * Solarchos sits and waits for Paisley to continue.
[15:39] <Matsuo Shin> I'm sure she will be useful
[15:39] <Matsuo Shin> but that's later
[15:39] * Matsuo Shin sits back down
[15:40] * Matsuo Shin looks over his notes
[15:40] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I overheard what you said about whispers.
[15:41] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Good work, man.
[15:41] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> We'll need all of this to show Jedda.
[15:41] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte turns to Solarchos.
[15:41] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Here's what's going on.
[15:41] <Solarchos> So what happened last night?
[15:41] * Matsuo Shin nods
[15:41] * Solarchos listens closely.
[15:41] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ...Okay, let's just cut right to that.
[15:41] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Because it's going to plague your mind, I can tell.
[15:42] <Solarchos> Maybe it will, maybe it won't.
[15:42] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Yeah I have an idea of how you tick. It will. At least hopefully until I've explained things.
[15:42] <Solarchos> Just tell me and let me determine that for myself. I've been pretty open-minded and tolerant so far.
[15:42] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> True.
[15:43] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Okay look. First off, Nightfall. We know she's some hybrid of Darkness and Mania.
[15:43] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Other pieces of Shaldra Darkness are around. Kusanagi and Abe, who was the first holder for Darkness ( I think).
[15:44] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> But that still left one piece unaccounted for. The main host of all the different parts.
[15:44] <Solarchos> Who or what is Mania?
[15:44] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I'... okay let's start there.
[15:44] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> After you... left. (she said putting it politely)
[15:45] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> things were stable for a while.
[15:45] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Then something happened the details of which I can't be arsed to look up.
[15:45] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Someone physical manifestations of the seven sins showed up.
[15:45] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ^somehow
[15:45] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Now most of these were dealt with and dispersed on their own accord.
[15:46] * Matsuo Shin starts to organize all his notes
[15:46] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> But one survived: Lust.
[15:46] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> It made its way around hopping from one person's head to the next
[15:47] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> It made its way to Shaldra and she did her best to contain it, but this failed (now I may be getting the order of events mixed up here)
[15:47] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Yaijinden had a heart to heart with it and determiend that above all else it wanted to survive
[15:47] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> So he gave it a body, and named it "Mania"
[15:48] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> After the Greek Deity.
[15:48] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> From there it began humping everything possiblr and growing in power. Seriously, orgies all over the damn place.
[15:48] <Solarchos> This must have still been during the Exile, yes?
[15:48] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> The records indicate that it was sta---
[15:49] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ♦ [15:44] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> After you... left. (she said putting it politely)
[15:49] <OtakuRedRanger> eh?
[15:49] <Solarchos> You don't have to mince words, Paisley. :P
[15:49] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> --the records indicated that it starting infecting lots of people, making them do unseemly things.
[15:49] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Like Sex Brigade 2.0 level s[BLEEP]te.
[15:50] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Finally things came to a head (possibly metaphorically and literally) and something happened.
[15:50] <OtakuRedRanger> wait what brigade?
[15:50] <Solarchos> Before your time, ORR.
[15:50] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> This we aren't clear on. It's not in the records. no one remembers properly. Those who could ahve retained the kknoledgwe fully were away.
[15:51] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> But there was a... for want of a better term, "Soft Crisis"
[15:51] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> The unvierse changed. Some timelines suddenly aborted. Others carried on. Shaldra was scattered to the time winds and ripped apart.
[15:52] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Noriko only survived by dint of rei.bot's gift to her in the form of Vindicator.
[15:52] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Xadium was left of a f[BLEEP]king wreck with no knowledge of exactly what happened.
[15:52] <OtakuRedRanger> wait what!?
[15:52] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> And Mania was gone.
[15:53] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> And that's where the universe stood.
[15:53] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> And as with any good temporal cluterf[BLEEP]k some of these things happened earlier or later in sequence.
[15:53] <Solarchos> Now Darkness and Mania have merged somehow.
[15:53] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> There's no "bright line" of "today, everything changed".
[15:54] <@The Intern> I'm not sure they've meerged.
[15:54] *** brb I need to actually put this in the Wiki now
[15:54] <Vanessa Alexandra> (( lol ))
[15:54] *** Vanessa Alexandra has joined #suburbansenshi2
[15:54] <@spiritflame> konnichiwa vanessa alexandra
[15:55] * Vanessa Alexandra looks around. Still has her sword on her back
[15:56] <OtakuRedRanger> so universe changing has a random chance of temporal event change?
[15:57] <OtakuRedRanger> wow
[15:57] <OtakuRedRanger> remnd me never to cause a universal f[BLEEP]k up
[15:57] <Matsuo Shin> it seems to happen here quite often
[15:57] <Nelius Raoul> Unfortunately, even the best of intentions can cause something horrendous down the line.
[15:58] <OtakuRedRanger> i know that
[15:58] <OtakuRedRanger> i embody that sentence sometimes
[15:59] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte is back
[15:59] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Anyway.
[15:59] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> YEs.
[15:59] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> So.
[15:59] * Matsumi Kaze hands Intern some tea
[16:00] * @The Intern sips "thank you!"
[16:00] * Matsumi Kaze sips her own tea, listening
[16:00] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> So Darkness apparently can't survive independently of Shaldra.
[16:01] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> And she wants to live on her own. She's become obsessed with it.
[16:01] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> And Mania... living up to her name, is obsessed with obsession. And seemingly fueled by sex.
[16:01] <Solarchos> Originally they DID survive separately though. I guess that changed when they merged.
[16:01] <Matsuo Shin> but who is using who?
[16:01] <Solarchos> So...related to Nyx perhaps?
[16:02] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Yes but apparently that was breaking down, which is why they re-fused.
[16:02] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> anyway. Continuing.
[16:02] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Mania parrently absorbs powers like mad, and never lets go of them.
[16:02] * Vanessa Alexandra goes sits on the sofa
[16:03] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> And it was revealed Darkness was originally constructed by the Ten Wise Men of Nede to consume power. the Power of Worlds.
[16:03] <Vanessa Alexandra> so another galactus on our hands?
[16:03] <Solarchos> I do have one question, Paisley.
[16:03] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> It looks like synergistically they've combined to become a huge problem.
[16:03] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> God I hope not.
[16:03] <Solarchos> Maybe more like Parallax, Ying.
[16:04] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> So.
[16:04] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Now we get to Shaldra.
[16:04] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Darkness needs to have a host no matter what if she's to survive.
[16:04] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> If Mania's the host, we're f[BLEEP]ked harder than Tom Cruise in a Scientology Day Camp Ministry meeting.
[16:05] <OtakuRedRanger> so no clone body that she could inhabit?
[16:05] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> If Shaldra's the host, she can be properly contained.
[16:05] <Solarchos> What, if anything, can I actually do in all this?
[16:05] <Matsuo Shin> how big of a level of threat is this?
[16:05] <OtakuRedRanger> and if she is, how do we beat a god?
[16:05] <Matsuo Shin> universial? multiversal? omniversal?
[16:05] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> This would probably be a forcible confinement. We don't want her running off on her own.
[16:05] <Solarchos> Gods can be defeated.
[16:05] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Probabaly universal at the least.
[16:05] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Yes yes, getting to that.
[16:06] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> X and I faced off against a possessed Abe Hisoka last night.
[16:06] <Vanessa Alexandra> damn.
[16:06] <Solarchos> I know a little bit about that.
[16:06] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> We have finally started developing a plan.
[16:06] <Solarchos> Oh?
[16:06] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Step 1: Separate Darkness and Mania.
[16:06] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Step 2: Defeat Mania.
[16:07] <Solarchos> Step 4 is probably "Profit".
[16:07] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Now how to do this? Not with force. With will.
[16:07] <OtakuRedRanger> will? how?
[16:07] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Mania is a creature of the mind, first and foremost.
[16:07] <Nelius Raoul> Is there anything that would be anathema to either Darkness or Mania? You said Mania could absorb powers, so is there any kind of power that she'd be weak towards?
[16:08] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> She will feed off your emotions and obsessions, and espicially your lusts.
[16:08] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I'm getting there.
[16:08] <OtakuRedRanger> usually darkness s defeated by light, and holy magic?
[16:08] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Yesterday X and I just emptied our minds as much as we could.
[16:08] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Didn't give her any emotional fuel to work with.
[16:08] <Solarchos> Darkness isn't like that, ORR
[16:09] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Stayed perfectly f[BLEEP]king calm and started to push back mentally. Just willing her back.
[16:09] <Nelius Raoul> So go non-sentient robotic mentally.
[16:09] <Matsuo Shin> I'm sorry I wasn't there for that...I was dealing with these notes
[16:09] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> We were able to disrupt her hold on Abe for a good while and clear most of the s[BLEEP]t he put in my head.
[16:09] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Intern, you're up.
[16:09] <Matsuo Shin> glad you got the Journal by the way...I wasn't sure if it had gotten sent to the right location
[16:09] <@The Intern> At the same time. I was taking readings.
[16:10] <@The Intern> Thank you so much, Matsuo!
[16:10] <@The Intern> Her power levesl remained high whilst Xadium was taunting her, but they did fluctuate a bit.
[16:10] <@The Intern> It looked like she was tapping into alternate sources of power.
[16:10] <OtakuRedRanger> how do we empty our minds? i'm a fire user we need emotion to make our fire bigger!
[16:11] <Solarchos> Intern, I guess you'll get around to answering my question to Paisley after you're done.
[16:11] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Namely those sex dungeons in her realm.
[16:11] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Well, Sparky. What did I say about not using force.
[16:11] <Solarchos> Sex dungeons? Keep Morrigan AWAY from there.
[16:11] <OtakuRedRanger> wait what!?
[16:11] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Mania absorbs power.
[16:11] <Matsuo Shin> hmm...
[16:11] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> So does Darkness.
[16:11] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> If you go in there with power, they will eat that power.
[16:11] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> And you're f[BLEEP]ked.
[16:11] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Probbaly literally, too.
[16:12] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> THUS.
[16:12] <Solarchos> So bringing in the ENTIRE Federation fleet and using Slave-Cannons are out of the question.
[16:12] <Nelius Raoul> So in order to curb this mental cancer she sends out, be calmer than a lake.
[16:12] * Vanessa Alexandra watches the others from the sofa
[16:12] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> YES Nelius, Sol.
[16:12] <OtakuRedRanger> oh god i'm f[BLEEP]ked!
[16:12] <Solarchos> What about Psi-Barriers?
[16:12] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> ... You might need to sit out this one then hahah.
[16:12] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I don't know, to be honest.
[16:12] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I use one to keep her taint out of my mind.
[16:13] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> But she's very powerful. She broke Shaldra into bits.
[16:13] <OtakuRedRanger> could i use one to calm myself down
[16:13] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> And this was a person used to handling mental stresses.
[16:13] <Matsuo Shin> psychic barrers can only work so long
[16:13] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Now here's my strategy.
[16:13] <Solarchos> We developed wide-area psi-barrier generators to protect ourselves against psychic attacks during the Zealot Wars.
[16:13] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> We need to take out her sex slaves.
[16:13] <Matsuo Shin> if the person is strong enough, they can break through
[16:13] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> they're giving her food.
[16:13] <Matsuo Shin> hm....take out her power source then?
[16:13] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Yes.
[16:14] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> We need to then curb our own minds.
[16:14] <Solarchos> That's how you defeat gods.
[16:14] <OtakuRedRanger> or redirect it?
[16:14] <Nelius Raoul> I'm willing to bet those might not be the only sources she has.
[16:14] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> We need to be empty like Zen masters.
[16:14] <OtakuRedRanger> i can try
[16:14] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Then we can try to separate her from Darkness and beat her.
[16:14] <Solarchos> First isolate them from their power source, then force them to expend so much of their remaining energy that they starve themselves.
[16:14] <OtakuRedRanger> i have an idea!
[16:14] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> At the same time, Shaldra will have to reabsorb Darkness.
[16:14] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Yes?
[16:15] * Matsuo Shin nods
[16:15] <OtakuRedRanger> why not find her power sources and sync them out of the universe?
[16:15] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> (We might need Kusaangi and the others as well to back her up)
[16:15] <OtakuRedRanger> sorta like a pocket dimension
[16:15] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Because they're already out of the universe.
[16:15] <OtakuRedRanger> oh
[16:15] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Behind that crack is another universe.
[16:15] <Solarchos> Personal psi-barriers might only work for so long, but individual-scale barriers overlapping with wide-area generators would support each other.
[16:15] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> They're trying to break in.
[16:16] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> anyway that's the plan that's starting to come together.
[16:16] <OtakuRedRanger> darn
[16:16] <OtakuRedRanger> i had a whole plan and everything
[16:16] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> But backburner that, bbecause tomorrow is Jedda Rain.
[16:16] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Now.
[16:16] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Solarchos you had more questions.
[16:16] <OtakuRedRanger> and how would we defeat jedda rain?
