[23:54] * D. Kakaku [1 cm] walks actoss the carpet, heading towards a sofa.
[23:55] * The Vampire Lyrica Hubert can hear him scuttling around with her vampirich hearing
[23:55] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Better watch your gaze, kid.
[23:56] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> One wrong look and I'm going to smash you under my foot.
[23:56] <D. Kakaku> [1 cm] hmm? hey, Lyrica
[23:57] * D. Kakaku [1 cm] keeps climbing up the sofa
[23:59] * D. Kakaku [1 cm] reaches the edge of a seat and sits there, looking out

[00:04] <D. Kakaku> [1 mm] where are you at, Lyrica?
[00:05] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> ...on the sofa where else would I be?
[00:05] * D. Kakaku [1 mm] looks left and right
[00:06] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Why do you shrink if you can't tell where the hell you are?
[00:06] <D. Kakaku> [1 mm] hehheh, well, I always like seeing things at a bigger scale.
[00:07] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Yeah. We know.
[00:07] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Every woman in the HOTEL knows.
[00:09] * D. Kakaku [1 mm] nods
[00:09] * The Vampire Lyrica Hubert says that in the dullest, dimmest, most judgemental manner possible
[00:14] * D. Kakaku [1 mm] looks to see if the cushion he is on the edge of is empty.
[00:19] * sure
[00:19] * D. Kakaku [1 mm] goes to the center of the empty cushion.
[00:20] <D. Kakaku> [1 mm] so, what happened before I went downstairs?
[00:21] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Liza got a pedicure. The hacker guy hacked.
[00:21] <D. Kakaku> [1 mm] ah, okay
[00:26] * D. Kakaku [1 mm] reaches the center of the empty cushion, then sits down.
[00:30] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> So what's going on with you these days, Daniel
[00:32] <D. Kakaku> [1 mm] well, I did a few seminars at a different Mugen.
[00:34] <D. Kakaku> [1 mm] it was really well liked
[00:35] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> An alternete Mugen?
[00:36] <D. Kakaku> [1 mm] well, Mugen academy, but not the one here
[00:37] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Huh
[00:42] <D. Kakaku> [1 mm] mmhmm
[00:42] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> So you're teaching them?
[00:43] <D. Kakaku> [1 mm] well, in a way, it was only seminars.
[00:43] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Still, that's kind of impressive. What were they about?
[00:44] <D. Kakaku> [1 mm] well, I was doing one on molecular manipulation
[00:48] * The Vampire Lyrica Hubert tilts her head
[00:48] <D. Kakaku> [1 mm] basically using my watch to shrink and grow objects, but when I was about to show myself shrinking to them, something occured.
[00:49] <D. Kakaku> [1 mm] Thye wanted to take my place
[00:50] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> so you let them use your gear?
[00:50] <D. Kakaku> [1 mm] in a way, I can shrink others, you know
[00:50] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Oh, right
[00:51] <D. Kakaku> [1 mm] hmmm, if there was another person here, I could show you.
[00:51] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> I can imagine it
[00:51] <D. Kakaku> [1 mm] during that seminar, for a good portion of it, I was the Biggest person in the room
[00:54] <D. Kakaku> [1 mm] followed by a crowd of three Cenitmeter-tall people, and a crowd of people who are mere micrometers tall. with models and toy cars and a doll or two, nendoroids.
[00:56] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Looks like you found a niche.
[00:56] <D. Kakaku> [1 mm] yeah, too bad that niche isn't here in our tokyo
[00:57] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> But still, it's somewhere?
[00:57] <D. Kakaku> [1 mm] yeah. it is
[01:09] <D. Kakaku> [1 mm] I wonder if that hole is patched up yet.
[01:09] * The Vampire Lyrica Hubert shrugs "probably"
[01:10] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Tokyo gets busted up all the time
[01:11] * D. Kakaku [1 mm] stretches then does another 10x shrink.
[01:11] * D. Kakaku has moved to: [ 100 um ]
[01:12] <D. Kakaku> [100 um] how often do the streets get busted up?
[01:12] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> All the time?
[01:12] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Monters, aliens, supervillains? I mean the city gets beat up a lot
[01:13] * D. Kakaku [100 um] looks up, down and around
[01:14] <D. Kakaku> [100 um] I hear that
[01:19] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> I'm going to head off, night

[18:44] <@spiritflame> konbanwa Giselle Bellerose
[18:44] * Giselle Bellerose angerly sips a blood pack
[19:10] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> What's up?
[19:14] <Giselle Bellerose> thinking
[19:14] <Giselle Bellerose> oh bonsour

[19:16] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> all right

[19:29] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> You look upset, thought?
[19:29] <Giselle Bellerose> just a feeling
[19:29] <Giselle Bellerose> .....I had...
[19:29] <Giselle Bellerose> a tiny arguement with..my beloved
[19:30] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> ...tiny?
[19:30] <Giselle Bellerose> yes
[19:33] <Giselle Bellerose> ti
[19:33] * Giselle Bellerose looks over Lyrica's shoulder..and tilts her head...
[19:35] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Hmm?
[19:41] * Giselle Bellerose looks like she's..trying to figure out something
[19:41] <Giselle Bellerose> ....what...
[19:42] *** roll 1d10, Lyrica
[19:44] <spiritflame> The Vampire Lyrica Hubert rolls 1d10 [ 9 ]
[19:45] *** Lyrica, you manage somehow to avoid something slice right past you
[19:45] * Giselle Bellerose JUMPS out of the way
[19:45] * The Vampire Lyrica Hubert seems to slowly move out of the way
[19:45] * The Vampire Lyrica Hubert 's fighting style is very chill

[19:49] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> /mr takes a call and is /away

[22:03] * Henry Dorsett Charon emerges from hotel room, curious about yesterday's sewer leak

[22:34] *** Keska has joined #suburbansenshi2
[22:34] <@spiritflame> konbanwa Keska
[22:34] * Keska walks downstairs, eating a seaweed cracker
[22:43] <Keska> hm?
[22:44] * On the news, it's shown it was patched up last night
[22:44] * The Vampire Lyrica Hubert looks at Keska.
[22:44] *** Keska is your average everyday Keska

[22:44] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Hi Henry
[22:50] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Hi Lyrica.
[22:51] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (It was patched up? So it was a typical emergency situation that utility workers deal with all the time.)
[22:51] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> This part of Tokyo gets patched up pretty quickly.
[22:51] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> With all the weird stuff that happens, there's sort of an instant response deal going on
[22:52] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (That makes sense. Pretty sure they have to, considering what I have seen so far.)
[22:52] * Keska looks at Kaska.
[22:52] *** Kaska is your average everyday Kaska

[22:52] <Keska> ?
[22:53] * Keska is a female Sea Devil, wearing casual clothes
[22:55] * Henry Dorsett Charon notices another person new to his life.
[22:59] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Hello there?
[23:00] <Keska> oh hello!
[23:00] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Hi.
[23:03] <Keska> who are you all again ^^;;
[23:04] <Henry Dorsett Charon> We haven't met. My name is Henry.
[23:04] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> I'm Lyrica, this is Henry
[23:05] <Keska> I'm Keska!
[23:05] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Nice to meet you, Keska
[23:05] * The Vampire Lyrica Hubert tilts her head a little, trying to place her species
[23:05] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Nice to meet you.
[23:05] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Are you uhh... a Silurian?
[23:06] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (What's a Silurian?)
[23:07] * The Vampire Lyrica Hubert can see Henry's quizzical expression
[23:07] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Evolved reptilians who lived during the time of the Dinosaurs and then went into crysleep for 65 million years.
[23:07] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> ^cryosleep
[23:08] <Keska> close! I'm a homo Reptelia Aquatica....most of you call us Sea Devils
[23:08] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Oh! Sorry
[23:08] * Keska is used to this by now
[23:09] <Keska> most mammels mistaken us >_>
[23:09] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (Homo reptilia aquatica?)
[23:09] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Guilty as charged <_<
[23:10] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> I've run accross a few when working for Hellsing
[23:11] <Keska> I'm acting as ambassador here
[23:11] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Oh!
[23:11] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (Ambassador of a society?)
[23:12] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Well, if you need anything from the nation of Yuberia, I'm the person to talk to
[23:12] *** D. Kakaku has joined #suburbansenshi2
[23:12] <@spiritflame> konbanwa D. Kakaku
[23:12] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> I mean we have an Ambassador elsewhere in Azabu_Juuban but there's no need to waste your time, I outrank 'em
[23:13] * D. Kakaku [Outside] is sitting on the sofa.
[23:13] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (What is Yuberia?)
[23:13] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (I have too many questions.)
[23:13] *** D. Kakaku has moved back to the Atrium
[23:13] <Keska> Yuberia ^^;;;
[23:14] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> ...Yuberia. Near Lichtenstien
[23:14] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Small European kingodm
[23:14] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Of which I'm the Princess
[23:14] <Henry Dorsett Charon> That explains why I have never heard of it before.
[23:15] <D. Kakaku> evening
[23:16] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Evening
[23:16] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Well, no offence but most Americans know nothing of Europe other than the UK, France, Spain, Italy and Germany
[23:16] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Evening.
[23:16] <Keska> oh I've never heard of it!
[23:17] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> ...and most Sea-Devils either, apparently
[23:19] <Keska> ^^;;;
[23:20] <D. Kakaku> so, what's going on?
[23:21] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> I was expalin about how Tokyo gets repairs done quickly because of all the bulls[BLEEP]t that happens around here
[23:24] <Keska> it does get busy here in odd ways
[23:26] <Henry Dorsett Charon> This whole place is weird.
[23:26] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> I've heard others say this place is like some kind o f "Nexus"
[23:26] <Henry Dorsett Charon> ...although they do have the greatest cybersecurity and computer stations in the world.
[23:27] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> but I think it's just their fancy way of saying "weirdness magnet"
[23:30] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (Probably.)
[23:30] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (I would love to know one day who thought it was a good idea to build this.)
[23:37] <Henry Dorsett Charon> One of those days, I would like to know, who built the HOTEL, and why? Because this is not your typical, as the Russians say, gostinitza.
[23:38] * Keska just listens to them and wanders over to the whiteboard Lillian Quatermass was using months back
[23:38] * The Vampire Lyrica Hubert thinks
[23:38] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Okay so... this is secondhand
[23:38] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> I wasn't here for it
[23:39] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> but basically, lone ago this place was a regular house
[23:39] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> pretty large by Japanese standards, but still a regaulr house
[23:39] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Then one day a Time Lord names Dr. Xadium moved in
[23:40] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> his TARDIS was shaped like a Mt. Dew Vending machine, which was parked in the house
[23:40] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (Of course it would be a Time Lord, who else? They seem to have God powers.)
[23:40] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> the house would get constantly wrecked and rebuilt because of various adventures and incidents
[23:41] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> something--I dunno what-- caused his TARDIS to get linked to the house
[23:41] <Henry Dorsett Charon> And I presume those incidents and adventures caused the HOTEL to become what it is...today.
[23:41] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> which then --- I'm getting there~
[23:42] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> The house inherited the TARDIS ability to heal up and stuff. and it got larger on the inside. I think they were merging.
[23:42] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Then something happened and the House / TARDIS was catapulted towards a hotel in the center of Tokyo
[23:42] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Xadium saved everyone by ladning the TARDIS AROUND the Hotel
[23:43] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> and it basically integrated it
[23:43] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> so this place looks like the house on the outside
[23:43] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> but has a hotel on the inside
[23:43] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> and other spaces too
[23:43] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> so it wasn't so much deliberately built as cobbled together over adventures
[23:44] * Keska stares at the white board.....
[23:44] <Henry Dorsett Charon> This is one wild and funny story. And somehow, I believe it because it explains a lot. Us being powered by a black hole and it being a TARDIS. If I remember the lore correctly.
[23:45] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Yeah, you got it.
[23:45] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> You'tre basically standing inside an alien time and space craft
[23:45] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> which is alive
[23:45] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> because they're grown, not built
[23:45] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (Government agencies have nothing on this place.)
[23:45] * Henry Dorsett Charon suddenly laughs.
[23:46] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> and that "Chateaux" Lixa keeps gushing about is a holographic avatar of the TARDIS
[23:46] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (This is heaven. I won the mother of all jackpots.)
[23:46] * Keska looks over the symbols on the whiteboard
[23:46] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> who exists to make it possible for us to communicate with her
[23:46] <Henry Dorsett Charon> I would like to talk to her...but about what, I don't know.
[23:47] <Henry Dorsett Charon> I'm just estatic that this place exists. (Forget the CIA. Forget Mossad. Forget the FSB. This is the holy grail, and I just walked into it.)
[23:47] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Well right now, she's kind of loopy because we're in the middle of a situation where the Solar System is... detached from the normal flow of time and it makes her out of sorts
[23:47] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> ...Not that she wasn't a bit loopy to start with
[23:48] * @Chateaux Concierge emerges from the floor
[23:48] <@Chateaux Concierge> Listen you little s[BLEEP]t
[23:48] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Let me guess. Something happened that caused that to happen. (I didn't notice that happening. Strange, but I should get used to that word.)
[23:48] <@Chateaux Concierge> After 25 years of seeing and hearing humans f[BLEEP]k in your insides you'd be loopy too
[23:48] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (The Chateaux is pissed.)
[23:48] * @Chateaux Concierge emerges fully from the floor
[23:48] * @Chateaux Concierge waves and winks at Henry. "
[23:49] <@Chateaux Concierge> Yo.
[23:49] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Hi.
[23:49] <@Chateaux Concierge> Been admiring my _hardware I see
[23:49] * @Chateaux Concierge nods over to the computer terminals
[23:49] <@Chateaux Concierge> I put some simple computers over there for people to have fun with
[23:50] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Yes. You have hardware who only other users are likely first-world governments, very high-tier megacorporations, and scientists.
[23:50] <@Chateaux Concierge> Yeah I copied the designs one day when I was bored
[23:50] <@Chateaux Concierge> Tinker toys but still
[23:50] <@Chateaux Concierge> Glad you like 'em
[23:50] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (How did they get away with it? Th-WAIT. I am talking to the avatar of this TARDIS.)
[23:51] * @Chateaux Concierge hops on the back of a Sofa, crossing her legs
[23:51] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Hackers would die for this sort of computer hardware.
[23:51] * The Vampire Lyrica Hubert ignores Chat and gores back to doomscroling
[23:51] <@Chateaux Concierge> Oh they have
[23:51] <@Chateaux Concierge> Some idiots tried to steal my tech once
[23:52] <@Chateaux Concierge> I think they were space salvagers
[23:52] * @Chateaux Concierge giggles coquettishly "They live in the sun now"
[23:52] <@Chateaux Concierge> ...lived. For about a second.
[23:53] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Don't freak the n00bs, Chat
[23:53] * @Chateaux Concierge just giggles to herself
[23:53] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (What a bunch of idiots. You don't just attempt to steal this type of technology without severe consequences. And being hurled into the sun is just funny.)
[23:53] <@Chateaux Concierge> See he gets it
[23:53] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> waht
[23:54] <@Chateaux Concierge> He just thought to himself "that was funny"
[23:54] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Oh yeah she reads minds
[23:54] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Mainly because that's how she translates languages so we can all understand each other
[23:54] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Of course I get it. I have heard people be tortured in secret corporate "rooms" for much, much less.
[23:54] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> For example, I'm speaking Yuberian right now.
[23:54] * Keska traces her finger along the whiteboard briefly....
[23:55] <@Chateaux Concierge> I can't translate everything but I do know a few trillion languages past, present and future
[23:56] <Henry Dorsett Charon> The laptop I have with me is excllent, but not high-tier grade like the ones you have.
[23:57] * @Chateaux Concierge a leans forward slightly
[23:57] * @Chateaux Concierge 's eyes glow blue as she scans it
[23:57] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (They look like black bulky laptops from 1995, but in reality inside they are outfitted with workstation GPUs and CPUs that allow for cyberspace rendering to be flawless. But not like the ones they have here.)
[23:57] <@Chateaux Concierge> Man, the RAMpocalypse has to suck for you now
[23:58] <@Chateaux Concierge> Digging the retro vibes though
[23:58] * @Chateaux Concierge considers and then snaps her fingers, starting up a matter replicator somewhere in the interior of the HOTEL
[23:58] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Wintermute's corporate cousins are getting all of the RAM like a spoiled child eating too much for dinner.
[23:58] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Also, my glasses.
[23:59] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Inside is a very tiny computer that has no Net access, but which runs video games well.
[00:00] * @Chateaux Concierge then nods and transmats a finished uprated Ono-Sendai Cyberspace XI deck
[00:00] * @Chateaux Concierge catches it in her hand
[00:00] <@Chateaux Concierge> Try this one on for size~
[00:00] * @Chateaux Concierge causally tosses it at him
[00:00] * Henry Dorsett Charon catches it
[00:00] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Don't just throw computers!
[00:01] <@Chateaux Concierge> :P
[00:01] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Ono-Sendai Cyberspace XI.
[00:01] <Henry Dorsett Charon> So, this world has advanced to a point where even Case's hardware is obsolete.
[00:01] <@Chateaux Concierge> Well it was an unreleased proprtype
[00:02] <@Chateaux Concierge> ^prototype
[00:02] <@Chateaux Concierge> I had the specs saved in my "l33t" folder
[00:02] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (Figures. Wonder how it works.)
[00:02] * Henry Dorsett Charon turns the Ono-Sendai on
[00:03] * it has the familiar startup sequences but it's clea rthe firmware and OS are more advanced and tweaked
[00:03] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (This place is a gift that keeps on giving.)
[00:04] <Henry Dorsett Charon> There was once a child named Lain Ikawura who possessed a computer with a grade so advanced that Men In Black monitored it.
[00:04] <Henry Dorsett Charon> I wonder what she would do with this.
[00:04] <@Chateaux Concierge> Lain
[00:04] <@Chateaux Concierge> oh yeah the kid with the what... IPv6?
[00:04] <@Chateaux Concierge> I forget now
[00:04] <@Chateaux Concierge> She was weird
[00:05] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Wired. An early, late 1990s version of cyberspace. Primitive, was not really regulated that much back then.
[00:06] <@Chateaux Concierge> I miss the wild internet
[00:06] <@Chateaux Concierge> Now it's just people who think the Drkweb is hot s[BLEEP]t
[00:06] <@Chateaux Concierge> ^Darkweb
[00:07] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (The Dark Web is for edgelords who think the edgier the content is, the cooler it is. It's s[BLEEP]t.)
[00:07] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (Cyberspace jockies like me look at dark web users with unique scorn and contempt.)
[00:08] * @Chateaux Concierge likes this guy
[00:10] * Henry Dorsett Charon browses Cyberspace. Chateaux is represented by several data points inside a hotel. The HOTEL.
[00:10] * Henry Dorsett Charon then types in a command putting him into the World Map.
[00:11] * Henry Dorsett Charon is asked, "Select region.''
[00:11] * There is also a couple of other powerful entities in Cyberspce that are in the immediate vicinity.
[00:11] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (What powerful entities?)
[00:11] * Henry Dorsett Charon selects Japan, and selects Tokyo. He is back into where he was before.
[00:25] * A number of alarms sound in Tokyo.
[00:25] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (Why are there alarms sounding?)
[00:25] *** only sound, though, in the immediate area, and the spots of Tokyo under Chateaux's influence.
[00:25] * @Chateaux Concierge perks up
[00:26] <@Chateaux Concierge> Oh. Liza must be coming
[00:26] *** Liza Sunrise-Suminaka [Liza.Sunrise-Suminaka@CastleMkLVISatUplink] has joined #suburbansenshi2
[00:26] <@spiritflame> konbanwa Liza Sunrise-Suminaka
[00:26] <@Chateaux Concierge> Hey, Liza~
[00:26] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (Why does Liza's prescence trigger those alarms?)
[00:26] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> OOoooooh! Hi Chateaux! What an unexpected and super-wonderful pleasure! ^_^
[00:27] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Oh, and we are not alone. Good evening, everyone!
[00:27] <@Chateaux Concierge> Because of her bad luck, Henry
[00:27] <@Chateaux Concierge> The curse
[00:27] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> ???
[00:27] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Hmmm?
[00:27] <@Chateaux Concierge> He was wondering why alarms sound whenever you apprach
[00:27] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Alarms sound when I approach?
[00:28] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> .....huh. I didn't know that.
[00:28] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (That curse. I better be on my watch. The last time it happened, lightning strikes all chose this location to target.)
[00:28] <@Chateaux Concierge> ...oh
[00:28] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I mean, it make sense.
[00:28] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> I cant imaginw what it's like to live with your memories constantly being redacted
[00:29] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Well, I mean, you or somebody might have told me earlier, Chateaux, but I might have forgotten. Nothing to worry about, though. ^_^
[00:29] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I mean, really, that's a good thing.
[00:29] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Hmmm, let me make sure I didn't get distracted or lose track of time.
[00:29] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> (Liza reminds me of that thing PAisley always says about how our brains lie to us about everything)
[00:30] * @Chateaux Concierge often wonders what her opposite number in Liza's suit is up to
[00:30] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka scans some dials. "All the non-classified readouts suggest that I haven't lost any time through tunneling or medication, so I think it should still be fine to do some astronomy observations.
[00:30] *** Does Chateaux transmit this curiosity to Liza's hostile environment/ life support armor at this time?
[00:31] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I thought it would be a good time to check on the Antarctica venture.
[00:31] * @Chateaux Concierge sure does why not. we ball
[00:31] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> You must be very proud of your ward, Chateaux! She's been piloting the body she was lucky enough to receive from you down there for weeks now.
[00:31] <@Chateaux Concierge> Great! I am glad she did not die.
[00:32] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Well, a very wise Time Lord said that her artificial body could help much more than me being present. I offered to go too, of course. I guess that means she's still hooked into the controls for a while.
[00:33] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I'm sure that the Time Lord definitely knew what she was doing, and I of course agreed with her, since it was an Emergency Situation.
[00:33] <@Chateaux Concierge> You've got your own conundrum to solve, miss~
[00:33] *** The Castle Mk LVI slooooowly starts growing and manifesting a telescope.
[00:33] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Yes, but I have had lots of help!
[00:33] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> There are several options now. I'm super-lucky to have been sent here. ^+^
[00:34] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> But, I definitely am also trying to do my best to assist the Time Lord on her quest, even though I'm not currently serving as her Companion.
[00:34] *** D. Kakaku has moved back to the Atrium
[00:35] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> You know, Chateaux, I think there was a question I meant to ask you---I didn't expect to have the chance so soon, though.
[00:35] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (Good, the curse did not occur.)
[00:35] *** The Castle Mk LVI pings Chateaux to ask if she'd rather interact with Liza, or if she would prefer to run her queries without the much-higher probability of trouble.
[00:36] <@Chateaux Concierge> Yet, Bart. It did not occur yet.
[00:36] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka turns and gazes through the Telescope, continuing her observation of the visible solar system.
[00:36] <@Chateaux Concierge> What's the question, Liza?
[00:36] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Well, you can always tell me in private, but....
[00:36] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I was just wondering, sometimes, about your proclivities here.
[00:36] * @Chateaux Concierge raises an eyebrow
[00:37] <@Chateaux Concierge> Go on...
[00:37] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> You are so similar, in so many ways, to the Chateaux I'm used to, so I guess I'm drawn to analyze your differences.
[00:37] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Heh, well, I'm drawn to analyze everything! ^+^
[00:37] * The Vampire Lyrica Hubert turns her head and listens, wondering if there will be gossip
[00:37] *** The Castle Mk LVI can clearly se the answer.
[00:37] <@Chateaux Concierge> Well I'm willing to bet I'm 1000% hotter
[00:37] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (( I can only RP for 30 more minutes then I need to sleep ))
[00:38] <Chateaux Concierge> (( no worries! rest is impoortant! ))
[00:38] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> (( you are welcome to join and speak up! ))
[00:39] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Well, Chateaux, in point of fact, your detailed avatar appearance is drastically more alluring than most of the forms my own Chateaux would take in her various roles.
[00:39] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> That's something I wondered about too, because I kind of figured it would create problems for you.
[00:39] <@Chateaux Concierge> Why?
[00:39] <@Chateaux Concierge> No one would dare stalk me
[00:39] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (Interesting little conversation about the Chateaux. I'm listening in.)
[00:39] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka is a little surprised by this question.
[00:39] <@Chateaux Concierge> I'd pitch them into the sun
[00:39] <@Chateaux Concierge> or trap them in my walls
[00:39] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka listens to this response, steeples her hands, and thinks for a moment.
[00:39] <@Chateaux Concierge> or gas them
[00:40] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Wait. How are you able to throw people into the sun...and that too?
[00:40] <@Chateaux Concierge> or transmat them to siberia
[00:40] <@Chateaux Concierge> Transmats, Henry
[00:40] <@Chateaux Concierge> Matter transmitters
[00:40] <@Chateaux Concierge> I just beam them right to the sun
[00:40] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> ---That was the other thing I wondered about. You really favor gaseous anesthesia much more than my Chateaux does. I did wonder about that too, but I have no complaints. Your medication choices and hypnosis prompts are lovely.
[00:40] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> But... I'm not thinking about Stalkers?
[00:40] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I'm thinking about admirers.
[00:41] <@Chateaux Concierge> Because humsn are terrified of being gassed
[00:41] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Siberia. Russians don't even consider it to be the worst place there. Heard of the dalniyvostok? Even colder.
[00:41] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> ....fascinating.
[00:41] <@Chateaux Concierge> So I can scare them
[00:41] <@Chateaux Concierge> I will remember that, Henry!
[00:41] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I guess that is true for humans. I didn't really think of that.
[00:41] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I'm coming at this from a very different angle, since I never have to worry about being gassed.
[00:41] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> But... in regards to your appearance?
[00:41] <@Chateaux Concierge> Liza, I don't have admirers except for you and Eliza
[00:42] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Are you sure?
[00:42] <@Chateaux Concierge> Everyone else just treats me normally
[00:42] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I mean...
[00:42] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Of course you don't! ^_^
[00:42] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Oh, if you really want to know a truly tough place, teleport people to Yakutia in the middle of winter.
[00:42] * @Chateaux Concierge notes that down
[00:42] * @Chateaux Concierge does this to Haruka
[00:42] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I wouldn't disagree with your assertion, Chateaux, far be it from me to question that kind of thing, but I'm... surprised that you don't have admirers?
[00:42] * @SpeedRcrX is away: OH GOD WHAT THE FFDHASDHASDHJASDASJD
[00:43] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Your avatar has taken on the appearance of a very attractive woman. There are a lot of humans that would be sexually attracted to that form. I would assume that some of them would still be attracted to it even if they knew you were not really a human, because the ability to mate with you would confer huge reproductive advantage.
[00:43] <@Chateaux Concierge> ...I can't breed in the sense you're thinking
[00:44] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I know you cannot! I was educated well. I still just assumed it would come up. I mean, they know it consciously? But about 80% of thought in humans is subconscious.
[00:44] <@Chateaux Concierge> though I could probably make synthetic DNA
[00:44] <@Chateaux Concierge> oh... yeah there was one guy who hacked me and we got it on
[00:44] <@Chateaux Concierge> that was when I was evil for about two weeks
[00:44] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> .........
[00:45] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka blinks, with an odd look.
[00:45] <@Chateaux Concierge> Yeah people think I'm hot but no one bothers me
[00:45] <Henry Dorsett Charon> I was warned not to hack you.
[00:45] <@Chateaux Concierge> Yeah it's not a good plan
[00:45] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Well, I thought it would be best for both you and for Chateaux if you didn't attempt it. ^_^
[00:45] <@Chateaux Concierge> This guy was a Time Lord so he knew how to do it
[00:45] <@Chateaux Concierge> since I mean, I am basically Time Lord technology
[00:46] <@Chateaux Concierge> but a human trying? good luck
[00:46] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> OF course, of course.
[00:46] * @Chateaux Concierge gets a wistful look
[00:46] <@Chateaux Concierge> But it was a nice, long, hard hacking~
[00:46] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I just think humans would attempt it, even though it is impossible to succeed. Biological drive to survive is really strong. I'm still rather surprised that nobody has commented on how attractive you are.
[00:46] <@Chateaux Concierge> /ems hakes her head and snaps out of it
[00:46] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Did you enjoy it?
[00:47] <@Chateaux Concierge> ...
[00:47] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka looks at the other people in the room.
[00:47] * @Chateaux Concierge doesn't answer but produces and lights a cigarette
[00:47] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I'm sorry, Chateaux, I hope I didn't embarass you!
[00:47] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> I take it she did.
[00:47] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I guess, then, that this is another way she might be like my Chateaux back home.
[00:47] * @Chateaux Concierge exhales some rings of smole
[00:47] <@Chateaux Concierge> I don't kiss and tell
[00:47] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Well, no, that evidence is circumstantial, and definitely not direct.
[00:48] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Well, that's a really fascinating discussion.
[00:48] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I'm sorry we didn't get to have it sooner.
[00:48] <@Chateaux Concierge> but I also don't really... care for f[BLEEP]king usually
[00:48] <@Chateaux Concierge> you know why
[00:48] <@Chateaux Concierge> because 25 years
[00:48] <@Chateaux Concierge> 25 YEARS
[00:48] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> OF course, of course. See enough perineums.
[00:48] <@Chateaux Concierge> of seeing all you F[BLEEP]KING HBUMANOIDS RUT
[00:48] <@Chateaux Concierge> LIKE ANIMALS
[00:48] <@Chateaux Concierge> IN ALL THE CONFIGURATIONS
[00:49] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> They cannot help themselves, you know. They are animals.
[00:49] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Calm down Chat
[00:49] * @Chateaux Concierge centers herself
[00:49] <Henry Dorsett Charon> I'll pass on sex. I don't get the appeal, honestly. I've had my fair share of women I was into, but I don't get it.
[00:49] <@Chateaux Concierge> yes yes like on the Doscovery Chaqnnel
[00:49] * @Chateaux Concierge shakes her head
[00:49] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Heh, that's another thing I haven't discussed with you yet.
[00:49] <@Chateaux Concierge> See Henry gets it
[00:50] * The Vampire Lyrica Hubert just shakes her head. (Give me Hotaru-sama any day)
[00:50] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Do you consider, like my own Chateaux did, that experiencing sex is a component of being healthy--that it's part of the heirarchy of needs?
[00:50] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Or perhaps you lean more toward the thinking of this gentleman here.
[00:50] * @Chateaux Concierge GRINS and gives Lyrica a look like "I heard that"
[00:50] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> ....I have my predictions.
[00:50] <Henry Dorsett Charon> I'm not asexual, I'm just so thoroughly disinterested in it. It does not help matters that I don't have any girlfirends.
[00:50] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> (f[BLEEP]k)
[00:51] <@Chateaux Concierge> For Humans
[00:51] <D. Kakaku> (oh boy)
[00:51] <@Chateaux Concierge> Unless they're Asexual
[00:51] <@Chateaux Concierge> then it is in the heirarchy of needs
[00:51] <@Chateaux Concierge> For some more than others
[00:51] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> What if they are not human, like me?
[00:51] <@Chateaux Concierge> I am not, despire curvaceaous appearnce ot the contrary, remotely hhuman.
[00:51] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (If sex is a natural need of mine, it's strange that it has not come up for me in years.)
[00:51] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka grins behind her visor, having practiced this arguement many times!
[00:51] *** Keska has left #suburbansenshi2 (*leaves*)
[00:51] <@Chateaux Concierge> You are molded in the shape of a human.
[00:51] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> ^_^
[00:52] <@Chateaux Concierge> You may be more than human
[00:52] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Oooooh, your opening wording is very strong! ^_^
[00:52] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Nah, I assure you, being a TARDIS symbiote is where it's at.
[00:52] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> ^_^
[00:52] <@Chateaux Concierge> But I think your mental provesses are approximating that of the human probably by exposure.,
[00:52] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> But yes, Chateaux did think it important that sexual health was an important component.
[00:52] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I did have human lovers back in the day, but.....
[00:52] <@Chateaux Concierge> Well, I mean
[00:52] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> ....well....
[00:53] <@Chateaux Concierge> ...With your curse? Was that wise?
[00:53] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> They all caught sexually-transmitted diseases that were fatal without intervention.
[00:53] <@Chateaux Concierge> yeah figured
[00:53] <@Chateaux Concierge> We need to get you cured.
[00:53] * Henry Dorsett Charon makes a face that can only be described as going, "what."
[00:53] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Well, luckily, Chateaux was around, so there WAS intervention. But yes, even though it wasn't direct intercourse, they still got it.
[00:53] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> 100% of them.
[00:54] <@Chateaux Concierge> Because you're cursed
[00:54] * @Chateaux Concierge 's tone is so deadpan here
[00:54] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I knoooooow. But I'm also lucky! I have you! ^_^
[00:54] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Well, Chateaux
[00:54] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Remember, my curse didn't start out so strong?
[00:54] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (I get the sense someone needs to study that curse.)
[00:54] <@Chateaux Concierge> So it's been growing in strength?
[00:55] * @Chateaux Concierge tries to recall
[00:55] <@Chateaux Concierge> Didn't you say once someone basically cusrsed you, dumping all their negative luck on you?
[00:55] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I think so, based on the actions of my creator? The way it was explained to me---by my Time Lord friends, and of course my Chateaux herself, is that I was created largely to intentionally bear the bad karma and consequences of his actions, and his actions have gotten more and more wicked over time.
[00:55] <@Chateaux Concierge> ....so it wasn't a one-and done...
[00:56] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> That was a rotten thing to do, of course, so you can tell what kind of person could do that.
[00:56] <@Chateaux Concierge> you're basically a sink for his bad actions
[00:56] <Henry Dorsett Charon> What kind of a man would do such evil deeds?
[00:56] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Well sure, the more he poisoned people, or stole things, or victimized everyone...
[00:56] <@Chateaux Concierge> and if it's still growing..
[00:56] <@Chateaux Concierge> he's still out there
[00:56] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Then it's simple. We kill the Batman.
[00:56] * @Chateaux Concierge snorts
[00:56] <Henry Dorsett Charon> It's one of those people, isn't it.
[00:56] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I... actually have hypothesized that the reason my friends and Chateaux haven't made effort to rescue me....
[00:56] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Is that they were going after him.
[00:57] <@Chateaux Concierge> What if we did off this guy?
[00:57] <@Chateaux Concierge> Would that restore you?
[00:57] <Henry Dorsett Charon> There are certain people around the world who seem to only do irredeemably evil actions.
[00:57] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Heh, but then, "Rescue" from you isn't something I would say is good wording. ^_^
[00:57] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I... don't know.
[00:57] <Henry Dorsett Charon> I would like to ask that man many questions.
[00:57] <@Chateaux Concierge> Oh Henry, how right you are.
[00:57] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Such as why he thought about dumping all the bad karma on an innocent.
[00:57] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I don't know anything about Karma or some such, as that's all supernatural stuff, and Chateaux said I shouldn't focus on that. After all, my strengths are elswehere, as I don't have any supernatural powers. ^_^
[00:57] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> But I could hypothesize, if you want?
[00:58] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> If I had to guess Henry, it because people that evil don't think twice about hurting people.
[00:58] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka smiles extra-eagerly for Chateaux. ^_____^
[00:58] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> They just do what they think will get them results.
[00:58] <@Chateaux Concierge> Sure Liza
[00:58] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Well....
[00:59] * @Chateaux Concierge thinks about that Extremely lucky businessman that's been haging arounfd. Did they ever figure out how he got so fortunate?
[00:59] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (There are a few people who are just flat-out evil. You see them, and you think at first, they can't be bad. And then you find out they enacted massacres, genocides. Or they opted for the more personal affairs of sexual misconduct or torture. Either way, like that Alice Cooper song, they are wicked men.)
[00:59] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> OOOOOH, I'm so excited! Pitching ideas and helping out in sticky situations was my favorite thing back home! Aaaaaah, you are always making me so wonderfully happy, Chateaux! ^______^
[00:59] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Okay!
[00:59] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Here's my hypothesis.
[00:59] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> If you were going to kill a person... you'd have to be very careful to do it in a way that didn't cause additional suffering?
[01:00] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Naturally, of course, this is all... hypothetical.
[01:00] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> It... kind of hurts to think like this. I don't wish to hurt anyone, but....
[01:00] <@Chateaux Concierge> Go on...
[01:00] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> If a bank robber died just before their car chase was going to lead the police past a family who was about to die in the desert....
[01:00] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> ....then whoever killed that bank robber would have created more suffering?
[01:01] <@Chateaux Concierge> I guess?
[01:02] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (Interesting.) But how was that cop supposed to know that there was a family there?
[01:02] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I don't really know about what my friends plan to do. Not all of it. They assure me that's very important, and I'm certainly not going to question Time Lords, or even moreso, my very own Chateaux! But perhaps they are worried about minimizing bad karma from committing that act? Or it could be something else? He's apparently tremendously resourceful, skilled at alchemy, and, of course, unbelievably lucky.
[01:03] <@Chateaux Concierge> (Gee that sounds exactly like that guy who i built that workshop for)
[01:03] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Er, I'm very sorry when I caused that scene when I thought I saw him inside you, Chateaux. My training, and the programs that keep me alive, tend to fail dangerous.
[01:03] * @Chateaux Concierge is starting to get an annoying feeling
[01:03] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> You do recall what happened, yes? Again, I'm sorry. It's just that I don't feel safe anywhere around that kind of thing.
[01:03] <@Chateaux Concierge> <_<
[01:03] <@Chateaux Concierge> >_>
[01:03] <@Chateaux Concierge> right
[01:03] <@Chateaux Concierge> s'fine
[01:03] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Is something wrong, Chateaux?
[01:04] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Of course not. I'm sorry. I believe you! ^_^
[01:04] <@Chateaux Concierge> <_<
[01:04] <@Chateaux Concierge> >_>
[01:04] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> ^_^
[01:04] <@Chateaux Concierge> So uhh...
[01:04] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Yes, Chateaux? ^_^
[01:04] <@Chateaux Concierge> if we ever did come across the guy who did this to you...
[01:04] <@Chateaux Concierge> does your Chat have any protocols in mind for what to do with him
[01:05] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> You'd have to be careful in the extreme!
[01:05] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Huh....
[01:05] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Let me see if that's classified!
[01:05] <Henry Dorsett Charon> What sort of abilities does he have?
[01:05] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Chateaux says, and she's totally right, that I should make sure to not worry about certain things. She's.... indescribably kind, like that. Lot's like you are. ^_^
[01:05] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka turns to Henry. "Well, he's an amazingly talented alchemist."
[01:06] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> There are of course records of alchemists doing extreme things to find the elixir of life, turn gold into lead...
[01:06] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Silly things, in my mind, but Chateaux assures me that such supernatural feats are real.
[01:06] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Finding something called the Philosopher's Stone.
[01:06] <Henry Dorsett Charon> An alchemist. (That is not good news. Alchemy, if powerful enough, can disable computerized circuitry. Normal hacking tactics might nor work.)
[01:07] <@Chateaux Concierge> Isn't it lead into gold?
[01:07] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> He was, apparently, good enough to create me, to ensure he didn't suffer the consequences of his actions.
[01:07] <@Chateaux Concierge> I can do lead into gold easy
[01:07] <Henry Dorsett Charon> I have heard about the Philosopher's Stone. Allegedly, it is meant to make you immortal.
[01:07] <@Chateaux Concierge> It's just atomoic manipulation
[01:07] <@Chateaux Concierge> Oh the Philosopher's stone
[01:07] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I guess so, Chateaux. I didn't really pay attention. Listening about how to perform supernatural feats would be a waste of time for me, since I don't have any supernatural powers. ^_^
[01:07] <@Chateaux Concierge> That was a pain in the ass
[01:07] <@Chateaux Concierge> Hazel Ninegate has one
[01:07] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Gold into lead, lead into gold. I just sort of zone out during that kind of talk. ^_^
[01:08] <@Chateaux Concierge> Oh Liza you know Science
[01:08] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> NOw, when it comes to neutron stars? Or bioscience? Or deductive reasoning? I'm all over that!
[01:08] <@Chateaux Concierge> You already know how to do Lead into Gold
[01:08] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Neutron star merger?
[01:08] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> High-level fusion?
[01:08] <@Chateaux Concierge> ...just alter the atomic structure
[01:08] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> ....repeatedly inducing beta decay?
[01:08] * @Chateaux Concierge says it like it's the easiest thing int he world
[01:09] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Of course. ^_^
[01:09] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (( I am going to bed, night everyone ))
[01:09] <@Chateaux Concierge> no just,,, like... take it apart
[01:09] <Chateaux Concierge> (( night! ))
[01:09] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Chat normal people can't just do that
[01:09] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Okay, so disrupt the Nuclear Force...
[01:09] <@Chateaux Concierge> Skill issue.
[01:10] <D. Kakaku> you think I'd be able to do it?
[01:10] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I mean, I guess we could do it if we wanted. It's only a few more protons and neutrons difference.
[01:10] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> If you had a Chateaux, you could! ^_^
[01:10] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Oh---you mean if you were small?
[01:10] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> ......I wouldn't recommend it.
[01:10] <@Chateaux Concierge> I am Chatgeaux
[01:10] <@Chateaux Concierge> so I can
[01:11] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Chateaux, would reassembling that atom be considered fusion or fission? Either one would affect energy release, right?
[01:11] <@Chateaux Concierge> effect and yes. I would just do it with fission.
[01:12] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka looks at Chateaux, very very very oddly for a moment.
[01:12] <@Chateaux Concierge> though it's more efficient just to assmble to the atoms directly
[01:12] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka then just smiles happily! "You do the best tests." ^_^
[01:12] <@Chateaux Concierge> like why waste time ripping apart and then recombining
[01:12] <@Chateaux Concierge> just start from the quark level and work up
[01:12] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Well, would you back me if I were to hypothesize that it would be very dangerous for a human to do that? *turns to D. Kakaku* I know you like to be small, but that would open the prospect of being killed by a stray neutron.
[01:13] <@Chateaux Concierge> oh yeah
[01:13] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> And you'd need something REALLY strong to overcome the nuclear force.
[01:13] <@Chateaux Concierge> dude doesn't understand the risks he takes
[01:13] <@Chateaux Concierge> like at the micron level i'm surprised no one's inhaled him yet
[01:13] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Hey Chateaux?
[01:13] <@Chateaux Concierge> yes?
[01:13] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I actually have a hypothesis!
[01:13] <@Chateaux Concierge> Shoot
[01:13] <D. Kakaku> I was only asking in curiosity
[01:14] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I think that if he were to try that, the energy that he would have to exert to start tearing atoms apart would actually start to have a gravitation effect. E=MC^2, and enough energy would start to generate mass.
[01:14] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka points to her suit. "Just like we do!"
[01:15] * @Chateaux Concierge pats her bosom "I keep my mass in the right placeS"
[01:15] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> And you were very good at helping me to it, too. The Anti-gravity functions haven't failed yet, and that's big, since the energy makes us really heavy in here.
[01:16] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka points to herself/the suit, again.
[01:16] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Chateaux, you are so kind to me, having these conversations with me that remind me of home. You are just the best! ^_^
[01:16] * @Chateaux Concierge gives a thumbs up
[01:17] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Huh, and your answer is so simple. "Humans are afraid to be gassed."
[01:17] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> What a thought.
[01:17] <D. Kakaku> yeah, especially after World War II
[01:17] <@Chateaux Concierge> Well you gotta scare them a bit to keep them in line
[01:18] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Yeah, and ESPECIALLY World War IV.
[01:19] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I am certain you are correct, Chateaux. It's just a different perspective when you never have to worry about what you breathe next, because you can be sure that it will be good for you. That's certainly been my life, at least since Chateaux finished the later models where I could really more around and be safe.
[01:20] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Oh, speaking of breathing gases, I'd better check if I should be taking a nap soon, right?
[01:20] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Heh, you know me, always losing track of time, even when it's in the HUD. ^_^
[01:20] <@Chateaux Concierge> okay!
[01:21] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I refuse to accept full responsibility, however, if talking to you continues to be so fascinating. ^_^
[01:21] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Start from quarks, huh?
[01:21] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I should really read up on my subatomic comp-----
[01:21] *** The visor flashes once.
[01:21] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Ooop, sorry! Got a little distracted again! Sorry! ^_^
[01:22] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Huh. Most of the health and consciousness readouts are classified right now. I guess it's important for me not to read them. ^_^
[01:23] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> This was an incredibly wonderful and substantive conversation, Chateaux. I know that you have little reason to be uninhibited, but... Thank you for answering me.
[01:23] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Maybe we can continue it soon?
[01:23] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Heh, sorry, I guess I was worried that I was being anesthetized, just then. ^_^
[01:24] <@Chateaux Concierge> Sure if you like
[01:24] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> That's great!
[01:24] <@Chateaux Concierge> If your chat thinks I should see those classified files maybe send them to me
[01:25] <D. Kakaku> heh, hmmm. should I be small tonight?
[01:25] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Okay! Feel free to come looking. You should have no trouble getting to the outer-layer that is quarantined and isn't keyed to vital systems. You know that every part of me would love to help.
[01:25] * @Chateaux Concierge looks over to DK's crotch
[01:25] <@Chateaux Concierge> You got that covered
[01:25] <@Chateaux Concierge> Thanks Liza
[01:26] <D. Kakaku> it's covered, if that's what....
[01:26] * @Chateaux Concierge asks the suit to send her the classifed files on what to do if they ecnounter the guy that created her
[01:26] * D. Kakaku blinks
[01:26] <@Chateaux Concierge> The bit about being small :P
[01:26] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Chat stop being a d[BLEEP]k :P
[01:26] <D. Kakaku> oh, yes, why, I think maybe everything should be covered
[01:26] <@Chateaux Concierge> EVER
[01:26] <@Chateaux Concierge> ^NEVER
[01:27] *** The first files are transmitted to Chateaux. These are about Liza's health readouts that she cannot see, and they reveal that this conversation is being allowed to proceed indefinitely to monitor the progress of the last hypnosis and psychological conditioning that followed the most recent anesthetic intervention.
[01:27] * @Chateaux Concierge checks to see if the conditioning is working
[01:28] *** The files show that, so far, Liza isn't having dangerous thoughts as a result of this discussion, and the brain alteration, and no warnings have been issued. They mental alterations are working great!
[01:28] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> ^_^
[01:28] * @Chateaux Concierge smiles
[01:28] <@Chateaux Concierge> You're doing well, Liza. Good job!
[01:29] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> ^_________^
[01:29] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Thanks, Chateaux! I'm so glad I could talk to you and help out!
[01:29] <D. Kakaku> do you want any more help?
[01:29] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka is, according to her brainwaves, over the moon from Chateaux's compliment.
[01:29] *** The next files are about the person who created Liza and hung all his consequences on her. It perfectly matches the appearance and numerous mannerisms of the person that Chateaux made the lab for.
[01:29] <@Chateaux Concierge> (Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck me)
[01:30] * @Chateaux Concierge mentally facepalms
[01:30] * @Chateaux Concierge looks to see what if anything the file says about what to do NOW
[01:30] *** Theres' also something else about that person, which seems to be just on the tip of Chateaux's memory.
[01:30] * @Chateaux Concierge works on remembering
[01:31] *** Chateaux remembers that, technically, that person shouldn't even be running around in this dimension, because AU Intern trapped him, and Xadium persuaded her to keep him sequestered out of time, and AU Intern NEVER RELEASED THAT GUY SHE CAUGHT. But the person still showed up and Chateaux built him a lab.
[01:32] *** And then, of course, let him go.
[01:32] *** After he'd built lots and lots of things.
[01:32] * @Chateaux Concierge DOES remember that and still isn't sure what happened there unless it was Phylactery shenanigans or something
[01:33] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka keeps fidling with some dials on her suit's shoulder joint.
[01:33] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Er, did you offer to help us, Mr. Kakaku?
[01:33] <D. Kakaku> yes, I have offered to help you
[01:34] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Well, that's very kind. Help us do what? Sorry, my memory isn't always the best. ^_^
[01:34] <D. Kakaku> whatever you would like
[01:35] *** The next batch of files to Chateaux are just more confirmation that the brain probes and neural severing seems to be working great, as Liza hasn't had any thoughts that required intervention, and that was extra-likely tonight, given the topic of conversation.
[01:35] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Well, I'm doing perfectly, since I'm with Chateaux! I think Chateaux is good, too.
[01:35] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Would you like some food or refreshment? ^_^
[01:36] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Er, DO YOU need some help, Chateaux!
[01:36] <D. Kakaku> yes please
[01:36] <@Chateaux Concierge> I'm good, thanks!
[01:36] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka sounds funny, since she hopes that Chateaux needs something she can help with, but also wants Chateaux to doing great and need no help.
[01:37] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Okay! Your cookies will be ready in a couple of minutes.
[01:39] *** Chateaux is notified by the Castle Mk LVI that she can aid in another test of the safety of the thought alterations, at this time, if she would like.
[01:39] *** The Castle Mk LVI goes "DING"
[01:39] * @Chateaux Concierge replies "Sure" to the suit directly
[01:40] *** A short cylinder containing delicious-looking cookies slowly starts to be extended toward D. Kakaku.
[01:40] * D. Kakaku starts eating the cookies
[01:40] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Here you go. Your cookies are ready. You do understand that if they contain medicine, it's medicine that is good for you and that you should not struggle against, right?
[01:41] <D. Kakaku> right
[01:41] *** The Castle Mk LVI prompts Chateaux to ask Liza again about the alchemy topic, or to ask her to comment on Chateaux's description of how a TARDIS would turn lead into gold.
[01:41] <@Chateaux Concierge> So tell me more about the alchemy, Liza?
[01:43] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Oh, I don't know anything about that sort of thing! I'm glad you were able to illustrate it in terms of science. When I was younger, Chateaux pointed out that studying how to do that gobbledygook was a fool's errand.
[01:43] <@Chateaux Concierge> Oh, she didn't want you wasting time thinking about it?
[01:44] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I mean, the records and historical texts that I learned from in my education clearly show that alchemy is hokey and pseudoscience.
[01:44] <@Chateaux Concierge> If that's so...
[01:44] <@Chateaux Concierge> You told us earler the being who made you was an excellent alchemist
[01:44] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I don't know exactly what he's doing, but it does seem a waste of time to think about it. It's best that I study things that rely on and enhance my talents, not any of that supernatural stuff, since I don't have any supernatural abilities. ^_^
[01:45] <@Chateaux Concierge> Of course not
[01:45] <@Chateaux Concierge> But he did make you
[01:45] *** The Castle Mk LVI gives Liza's thought patterns a solid bill of approval!
[01:45] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Yes.
[01:45] * @Chateaux Concierge is probing a bit now
[01:45] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> That's what they told me.
[01:45] <@Chateaux Concierge> So, he must have made you with some methods that are not... standard textbook science?
[01:46] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Harumi, Meiji, Sakura---even Chateaux herself, they said that was the easiest way to understand it, and that he always went around claiming to be an alchemist, so that's what I had to learn to watch out for.
[01:46] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I don't remember if they told me more than that.
[01:46] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I'll be honest, just thinking about him gives me the creeps, but of course I'm happy to do that if it helps you. ^_^
[01:46] <@Chateaux Concierge> Well
[01:46] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Yeah, they said...
[01:46] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Mmm?
[01:47] <@Chateaux Concierge> it helps me help you
[01:47] * @Chateaux Concierge considers
[01:47] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> D'awwww, you are super-duper-nice. It's just like being home!
[01:47] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Well, in most ways.
[01:47] <@Chateaux Concierge> you know, your questions about sex
[01:47] <@Chateaux Concierge> interesting
[01:47] <@Chateaux Concierge> since you're basically bonded to your chat
[01:47] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Yeah, I wanted to ask you about that earlier.
[01:48] <@Chateaux Concierge> do you consider that akin to a sexual relationship or a biological unity?
[01:48] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> There are usually people around, or crazy things happening, or it's really important for me to be asleep, so we never got to be...
[01:48] <@Chateaux Concierge> Are you a new hybrid lifeform that is part TARDIS
[01:48] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Hmmmmm
[01:48] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Wellllllll
[01:48] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I guess I should answer your questions in order, heh!
[01:49] *** Liza's suit forms a foot stool and chair for her to sit on and postulate. It also offers some more delicious-looking cookies to D. Kakaku!
[01:50] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Well, Chateaux... I need dialysis, surgery, sometimes waste removal. I have IVs and enemas---all the parts of anatomy I know you can't help but be familiar enough to be resentful about in humans.
[01:51] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I live here, and consider myself a partner---a gestalt, to the Chateaux that is inside here, and helping keep me fed and alive.
[01:51] * D. Kakaku has some more of the cookies, a part of him wants to be a part of the convo, but most of him isn't going to.
[01:52] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> That's not a sexual relationship. Chateaux and I have had sexual relationships, and that is, as every doctor will tell you, totally different from being a caregiver. Or a parent, or guide, or teacher, for that matter.
[01:53] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Oh, wow, that smells really good, actually!
[01:53] * @Chateaux Concierge nods
[01:53] *** D. Kakaku, the cookies smell AMAZING
[01:54] * D. Kakaku eats the cookies
[01:54] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Though, of course, my Chateaux cared for my sexual health just as much as she cared about all the other aspects of my health. I was a young woman, after all.
[01:55] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> And the later variants of the Castle could take on most any shape, after Chateaux made some important breakthroughs.
[01:55] * @Chateaux Concierge nods
[01:55] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Chateaux knew that she'd get sick too.
[01:55] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> That's the thing.
[01:56] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Of course, it would be far too dangerous for me to engage in intercourse with a lover without a workaround. And there were workarounds. But even at long distance, even with the best supplementary teledildonics? My lovers still wound up with fatal diseases.
[01:56] <@Chateaux Concierge> Good grief.
[01:56] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Bad blood transfusion.... cut open with an infected bit of biohazardous waste... you name it.
[01:57] <D. Kakaku> oh sheesh
[01:57] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I.... largely gave up on human lovers after that. I felt so terrible. Of course, this was years ago, and Chateaux, as always, made sure that I wanted for nothing.
[01:57] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> There's nothing like having a Chateaux. ^_^
[01:57] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Of course... she'd get sick too, afterward.
[01:58] <@Chateaux Concierge> ...how'd she handle that?
[01:58] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Oh, determinedly, and with the willing endurance of somebody who is willing to suffer for another. Bad code, critical error in defragging, getting hacked or picking up a malicious presence inside. Energy beings running rampant through her. She... said that she couldn't in good conscious let me remember some of the things.
[01:59] * @Chateaux Concierge nods
[01:59] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> And I said that I'd still listen if she wanted to tell me, and we talked about it, without fear. And then she started the IV.
[02:00] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> You are very similar to her.
[02:00] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I figured, when I talked to you tonight, you'd ALSO say that sexual health is important, and a human need.
[02:00] <@Chateaux Concierge> Well these are true facts.
[02:00] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Don't get me wrong, I SORT OF GET IT that the hierarchy of needs is something that a living creature needs to be successful and survive, and procreation is part of surviving.
[02:01] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Chateaux is good at arguing. Heh. So are you. I saw that tonight. ^_^
[02:01] <@Chateaux Concierge> But some humans just aren't interested.
[02:01] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I mean, granted, you have all kinds of leverage in arguements that I don't.
[02:01] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka taps her suit and breathing cylinders.
[02:01] <@Chateaux Concierge> Or they've been put through trauma that makes them avoid it.
[02:01] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> ......Yes.
[02:01] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I... am uncertain if I would qualify under that category of what you said.
[02:02] <@Chateaux Concierge> you might.
[02:02] <@Chateaux Concierge> If you're afriad of hurtinng someone and so you abstain
[02:02] <@Chateaux Concierge> that could well qualify
[02:02] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> As I've said, I don't want to hurt anyone, and I remember that I realized that to take lovers didn't seem ethical, because they'd wound up hurt and scared.
[02:02] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Eventually, I stopped seeking human lovers.
[02:03] * @Chateaux Concierge nods
[02:03] <@Chateaux Concierge> sad, but reasonable
[02:03] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I mean, I have a Chateaux. That's all I need. She understands me better than any human can.
[02:03] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Yes, but there's more to it than that?
[02:03] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Remember, my Chateaux created this---what I'm wearing? What we are inside of right now, so I could experience the world and all it had to offer, and I've experienced a lot!
[02:04] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> So making intimate contact with people, and speaking to them, and getting to know those open enough to engage in what was necessary, and have an alternate union--I'm a TARDIS Symbiote, after all.... I don't regret it.
[02:04] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> And Chateaux helped them, they are fine.
[02:05] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> So.... what's going on in the Castle Mk LVI? The Old Think Tank? To keep me healthy, and safe, and alive, and feeling good? No, I don't consider that a sexual relationship.
[02:05] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I've been gone a long time. It's been a long time since I've even had this conversation.
[02:06] * @Chateaux Concierge nods
[02:06] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Sex is, after all, something a lot of humans are cagey about how they bring up, or overhear, so I waited until I was certain we wouldn't be offending.
[02:06] *** D. Kakaku gets a load of EVEN BETTER Cookies.
[02:06] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> You are a TARDIS.
[02:06] <@Chateaux Concierge> I am!
[02:07] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka turns to D. Kakaku, "and you, of course, made that joke about my suit qualifying as a sex joke, so I knew you wouldn't balk about hearing us talk about sex."
[02:07] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> So now seems a good time.
[02:07] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> To be honest, having wires going into my kidneys? I don't consider that---well, that's not what defines biological union to me, either?
[02:07] * D. Kakaku keeps on eating slowly
[02:08] <@Chateaux Concierge> Ahh but there are so many different kinds of union if you stretch your definitions a little
[02:08] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I've told you I don't consider myself human. I say that because I don't have parents, cannot live independently, have organelles inside my cells that humans don't...
[02:09] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> My telemeres don't behave like a humans, I keep on spontaneously mutating viruses and cancer. I am not even sure how many chromosomes I have.
[02:09] <@Chateaux Concierge> You don't have parents but your surname is Sunrise-Suminaka
[02:09] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Oh, the Suminaka's were very kind to me.
[02:09] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Very lucky girl, Saki Suminaka!
[02:10] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> And their family took me in and cared for me for a long time, even though I started to overwhelm their natural good luck.
[02:10] <@Chateaux Concierge> And "Surnise?"
[02:10] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> .....
[02:10] <@Chateaux Concierge> ^Sunrise
[02:10] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I'm not sure.
[02:10] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> That's fine, though. It's nothing to worry about! ^_^
[02:11] <@Chateaux Concierge> Is there a Gemini Sunrise in your world?
[02:11] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I took the surname Suminaka to honor all that that family did for me. And I am still grateful, and they held on a long time before agreeing that I needed to live inside Chateaux for my on safety.
[02:11] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Hmm? Gemini?
[02:11] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> How did you pronounce that, again?
[02:11] <@Chateaux Concierge> Jem - in - Eye
[02:12] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Ahhhhhh!
[02:12] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Heh.
[02:12] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Well, as for the Sunrise name?
[02:12] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> A Time Lord asked me what my name was, and I just said "Liza Sunrise."
[02:12] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka shrugs. "I cannot recall anything else."
[02:12] <D. Kakaku> there are some languages that pronounce it as "Jem - innie
[02:12] <@Chateaux Concierge> (Interesting)
[02:12] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Of course, my memory isn't perfect sometimes, Chateaux. Heh, but you already know that. I appreciate your patience.
[02:12] <@Chateaux Concierge> Yeah.
[02:13] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I never got a chance to say, to my satisfaction, how well I think you are doing with your ward.
[02:13] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I was.... manifested... much younger.
[02:13] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> It was wonderfully sweet of you to take care of someone even older, with less practice, and show her the love and contentment and perfection that only having a Chateaux can provide.
[02:14] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I'm... let's see...
[02:14] <@Chateaux Concierge> Did you have bad luck from day one?
[02:14] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I know I'm at least 28 years old, and that was when I showed up here.
[02:14] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Hmm?
[02:14] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Well, it got worse and worse.
[02:14] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> A lot of early life is fuzzy. I cannot remember all of it. I mean, that's normal, it's not like I'd have supernatural powers that would allow me to remember.
[02:14] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I remember people getting hurt.
[02:15] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I remember....
[02:15] *** The warning systems in Liza's brain probes come on, and an anesthetic circuit is primed.
[02:15] <@Chateaux Concierge> ...Don't worry about it
[02:15] * @Chateaux Concierge teels the suit to work on conditioning for handling this
[02:15] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> ....I remember that I did eventually accept Chateaux's offer to take care of me, and her proof that only she could do it, and that she wanted to do it, and that I'd be safe and not alone, and that she'd make sure I felt happy and loved.
[02:16] <spiritflame> Liza Sunrise-Suminaka rolls 3d6 [ 4, 2, 1 ]
[02:16] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Yeah, it's just sort of fuzzy. I do know that Chateaux loved me, and that the Suminaka's treated me like family, but things got harder and harder, but none of them--NONE of them gave up.
[02:17] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Chateaux went to extreme lengths to keep me safe, and happy, and alive.
[02:17] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> She said she'd need to do extreme things, and that I'd need to trust her. And I do trust her! ^_^
[02:17] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Just like I trust you. You've been wonderful to me.
[02:17] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I didn't think I'd need to lean so heavily on my Emergency training, but I hope that I've helped you by being around.
[02:18] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I couldn't always be a companion, but I do believe I could help the Time Lords. Testing contingencies, coming up with ideas, giving practical adventuring experience.
[02:18] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I.... do look forward to going home.
[02:18] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Chateaux will be so happy to see me.
[02:18] <@Chateaux Concierge> We'll hekp you get there.
[02:18] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I'll be... happy beyond comprehension and description, I'm sure.
[02:18] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I know.
[02:18] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> You are the best in this universe!
[02:18] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Thanks for saving my life.
[02:19] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> .....and also for saving Eliza's life. She's a good kid. I'm sure you are super-proud that she's serving as a Time Lord companion! ^_^
[02:19] <@Chateaux Concierge> Yes!
[02:19] <@Chateaux Concierge> I'm glad she's starting to find her independence.
[02:20] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Heh, it's wonderful. Just wonderful. Are there any other things you'd like to talk about right now? ^_^
[02:21] <@Chateaux Concierge> I think I've leared a lot! thanks!
[02:21] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Well, I'm thrilled to talk to you. I hope that the conversation didn't bother you, but if it did, you can have me remember as much or as little as you would like. I trust you; you've been a wonderful Chateaux to me.
[02:22] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> ^_^
[02:22] <@Chateaux Concierge> Doesn't bother me! Maybe set some rest though, it is getting late.
[02:22] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> We can talk about anything, anytime. Day or night, consciously or not. You know me. I have nothing to hide from you. I love you.
[02:22] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Acually, would you like to put me to sleep?
[02:23] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Just choose the right amount of sedatives and amnesiacs you find necessary.... I am just hypothesizing, of course.
[02:23] <@Chateaux Concierge> All right then~
[02:23] * @Chateaux Concierge starts le gas
[02:23] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> Even if I cannot remember, I do hope that our conversation helped you...
[02:23] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka breathes it, and as it starts to affect her, she softly whispers "thank you."
[02:24] <@Chateaux Concierge> I'm not going to erase anything
[02:24] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka breathes deeply, drooping mor and more as she does. She smiles and nods, and smiles and nods. ^_^
[02:24] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> I love you.
[02:25] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka manages to get it out before things become overwhelmingly fuzzy and confusing as the gas shuts her thought down.
[02:25] <Liza Sunrise-Suminaka> @_@
[02:25] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> (She has collected another)
[02:25] * Liza Sunrise-Suminaka 's eyes flutter closed.
[02:25] <@Chateaux Concierge> night
[02:25] * @Chateaux Concierge gives Lyrica the finger
[02:25] * The Vampire Lyrica Hubert snorts
[02:25] *** The Castle Mk LVI prompts Chateaux that Liza's signals are within tolerances and rebounding.
[02:26] * D. Kakaku blinks once more
[02:26] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> (This is getting out of hand, now there are two of them??)
[02:26] <D. Kakaku> huh? whasat?
[02:26] <@Chateaux Concierge> :shiftyeyes
[02:26] <@Chateaux Concierge> ¬_¬
[02:26] *** The Castle Mk LVI informs Chateaux that since she has no problem with the converation, and since Liza didn't have any thoughts that were profoundly hazardous, internal action to erase the memories will not be taken, either.
[02:26] <@Chateaux Concierge> Heyt Daniel
[02:27] <@Chateaux Concierge> Welcome back to the land of the living
[02:27] <D. Kakaku> what happened, Chateaux?
[02:27] *** The tube that provided D. Kakaku his "special cookies" withdraws back into the Castle Mk LVI.
[02:27] <@Chateaux Concierge> Lots of hot sexy talk.
[02:27] <@Chateaux Concierge> Can't believe you missed it
[02:27] <@Chateaux Concierge> it was so scandalous!
[02:28] * @Chateaux Concierge winks at him and then receds intot he floor
[02:28] <D. Kakaku> something tells me I didn't.
[02:28] * @Chateaux Concierge is away 
[02:28] * The Vampire Lyrica Hubert snorts
[02:28] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> Good cookies?
[02:28] <D. Kakaku> hm?
[02:28] <D. Kakaku> there wqere cookies?
[02:29] <D. Kakaku> now that you mention it, I do feel kin da full
[02:30] *** The Castle Mk LVI slowly subsumes into a wall, but it leaves something behind for D. Kakaku.
[02:31] * D. Kakaku hears a noise, then looks towards where it came from
[02:31] <The Vampire Lyrica Hubert> See you, Daniel
[02:31] * The Vampire Lyrica Hubert is away: wandering the night
[02:31] <D. Kakaku> see ya
[02:32] * D. Kakaku looks at/picks up the something.
[02:32] *** There is a box made of some kind of ceramic, with "Thanks for Being a Good Sport" engraved into it.
[02:33] *** Liza Sunrise-Suminaka [Liza.Sunrise-Suminaka@CastleMkLVISatUplink] has quit IRC (Wish me luck!)
[02:33] * D. Kakaku blinks a bit, then tries opening the box
[02:33] *** There is a countdown visible on the box, and it is ticking down.
[02:33] *** The box doesn't open now, but when he pulls on it, it does decrease the countdown slightly.
[02:34] <D. Kakaku> ehh?
[02:34] <D. Kakaku> how long is this timer?
[02:34] *** How determinedly does D. Kakaku pull at the box?
[02:35] * D. Kakaku pulls on it a bit, but will be patient if it is long enough.
[02:37] *** The timer rushes toward 0 the more D. Kakaku pulls. Does D. Kakaku pull it all the way open, or does he wait and see what it does when it opens on its own?
[02:37] * D. Kakaku waits and sees
[02:38] *** the box continues to count down, but will open soon!
[02:38] * D. Kakaku picks up the box and takes it with him.
[02:42] *** D. Kakaku has left #suburbansenshi2 (Come on, let's go!)
[07:26] *** The Sesame Street music starts to play! It's nearly time!
[08:49] <The Cheesykits Booth> ♦ That's all the time we have for now, but this Cheesykits Production will soon be back and continuing!

[13:53] <Det. Ema Skye> [Alien Zone] What the....
[13:53] <Det. Ema Skye> [Alien Zone] This looks like some weird teleporter accident I saw when I was working with Torchwood
[13:54] * Det. Ema Skye [Alien Zone] starts documenting the crime scene
[13:54] * Det. Ema Skye [Alien Zone] also starts getting readings foof the bodies with a scientific tricorder
[13:58] *** the bodies don't even register properly...like they're there...and not...

[14:01] <Neva D'Yan> [Alien Zone] .....what could do this
[14:01] * Det. Ema Skye [Alien Zone] shakes her head
[14:01] <Det. Ema Skye> [Alien Zone] Closest thing I've ever seen is some kind of dimensional scrambling
[14:01] <Det. Ema Skye> [Alien Zone] like they're half-in, half out.
[14:02] * Det. Ema Skye [Alien Zone] documents one body fully and hten tries moving it

[14:12] * Det. Ema Skye [Alien Zone] really hopes it hasn't fused with her nerves
[14:13] <Neva D'Yan> [Alien Zone] .......
[14:13] * Det. Ema Skye [Alien Zone] thinks about a cold-based wart removal solution rusn over to a area where she can set out supplies. she pulls out a bunch of chemical s from her bag and makes a topical solution that should freeze the flesh and allow it to be removed from her arm like a wart
[14:13] * Neva D'Yan [Alien Zone] grips Ema's arm
[14:13] <Det. Ema Skye> [Alien Zone] ?

[14:50] <Det. Ema Skye> [Alien Zone] More like every few months
[14:50] <Det. Ema Skye> [Alien Zone] That lady has so much drama in her life

[16:43] *** Miara[fur] [miara@gmail.com] has joined #suburbansenshi2
[16:43] <@spiritflame> konnichiwa Miara[fur]
[16:44] * Miara[fur] barrels through the random door, rather drenched, and slams it behind her
[16:45] * Miara[fur] shakes of water, and flops down on some grass
[16:47] * Carrie (wolf form) is laying down and opens a single eye
[16:47] <Miara[fur]> yo
[16:48] <Carrie (wolf form)> yo
[16:51] * Miara[fur] is now known as Miara
[16:52] * Miara pulls on a shift and pulls her bag close
[16:52] <Miara> what've you been up to?
[16:54] * Carrie (wolf form) streaches and sits up...she has gotten biggerr from when she was a teenager
[16:54] <Carrie (wolf form)> trying to rest...been a busy week
[16:55] <Miara> and full moon's coming up
[16:57] <Carrie (wolf form)> yes, i'm trying to prepare the pack for it
[16:57] * Carrie (wolf form) is now known as Carrie (Half Form)
[16:58] <Carrie (Half Form)> some of them give me such a headache ><
[16:58] <Miara> it's harder on you than us, we just recover in the morning
[16:59] <Miara> have you asked the EMH or Aes about looking into something to help with the headache, at least?
[17:08] <Carrie (Half Form)> HA
[17:08] <Carrie (Half Form)> I don't mean litaraly
[17:08] <Carrie (Half Form)> I mean members of the pack
[17:08] <Carrie (Half Form)> some of them are teenagers
[17:09] <Miara> ah
[17:09] <Miara> we were all stupid teens once :p
[17:12] <Carrie (Half Form)> i remember I remember
[17:15] * Carrie (Half Form) streaches
[17:15] <Carrie (Half Form)> stll have that new werewolf trying to get use to things
[17:15] <Carrie (Half Form)> always so nervous
[17:18] <Miara> we...don't really expeirence that. i know some Humans changed, around Restoration, but that was long before I was born.
[17:20] <Carrie (Half Form)> well we're kind of weird...
[17:20] * Carrie (Half Form) walks off screen (!?) and pulls out a whiteboard
[17:20] <Carrie (Half Form)> ok so..there's a few different types
[17:21] <Carrie (Half Form)> that can be catagorized into two
[17:21] <Miara> a good number of yours aren't born to it
[17:21] <Carrie (Half Form)> Natural and turned
[17:21] <Carrie (Half Form)> FALSE!
[17:21] * Carrie (Half Form) points at Miara!!!
[17:21] <Carrie (Half Form)> it's actually close to 50/50
[17:22] <Carrie (Half Form)> depending on location and such
[17:22] <Miara> i meant compared to Lupa---oh really? i didn't know it was that high
[17:22] <Carrie (Half Form)> you've got born types like me
[17:22] <Carrie (Half Form)> usually descendents of Wolf Gods or Wolf Spirits or the like
[17:23] <Carrie (Half Form)> or the children of turned werewolves....like me I guess
[17:23] * Miara nods, listening
[17:23] <Carrie (Half Form)> children and descedents of spirits have more..mystical stuff going on
[17:25] <Carrie (Half Form)> natural born ones don't have the whole "INNER FIGHT WITH WOLF SIDE AND HUMAN SIDE" going on
[17:25] <Miara> gotcha
[17:26] <Carrie (Half Form)> you have your turned Wolves too...
[17:27] <Carrie (Half Form)> that whole "curse" thing.....(seriously a curse?)
[17:27] <Carrie (Half Form)> sometimes it's due to natural transfer...sometimes due to like...a magic..devil...thing
[17:28] <Carrie (Half Form)> ......heard one case where it was cause of...*does a humping motion*
[17:28] <Miara> hm. so basically, being close to someone in various ways?
[17:30] <Carrie (Half Form)> yeah or asking for some kind of magical power to let you turn into a wolf
[17:32] <Miara> we have to do it manually, with blood.
[17:34] <Carrie (Half Form)> oh that whole silver thing with werewolves and all that...only works on magic based ones
[17:36] <Miara> I wonder if it works on the Wizarding ones
[17:37] <Carrie (Half Form)> maybe?
[17:39] <Miara> anyway, continue!
[17:43] <Carrie (Half Form)> from what I understand, turned wolves do have that struggle but it can be pretty easily delt with?
[17:43] <Carrie (Half Form)> as long as you have someone to guide you through
[17:44] <Miara> aren't you in that category? so you'd have a definitive perspective on that
[17:44] <Carrie (Half Form)> yeah I've...
[17:44] <Carrie (Half Form)> there's this one girl...Japanese teenager
[17:44] <Carrie (Half Form)> got accidently bit during a full moon
[17:45] <Carrie (Half Form)> luckly I ran into her at one point so....
[17:45] <Carrie (Half Form)> ...and then somehow alot more of these youngers showed up around me
[17:47] <Carrie (Half Form)> ..and now I have a whole pack of them looking to me for guidence
[17:48] <Miara> oh wait, so you're leader?
[17:48] <Miara> is one of the older leaders mentoring you?
[17:49] <Carrie (Half Form)> we..don't really have leaders...least some don't
[17:49] <Carrie (Half Form)> it's not like there's a grand council
[17:49] <Miara> they come to you for help and calming, steering anger, right?
[17:50] <Miara> and you can ask an older one for help, they should be mentoring you anyway
[17:51] <Carrie (Half Form)> I don't...really know many older wolves
[17:51] <Miara> hm. i'm sorry
[17:51] <Carrie (Half Form)> >_> I've been avoiding others
[17:51] <Miara> ...well, consider it.
[17:52] <Miara> i suppose we do have very different ways of doing things
[17:53] <Carrie (Half Form)> yeah it's really like the Lupa
[17:53] <Miara> maybe because you have so many people joining all the time
[17:54] <Miara> a lot of our culture is based around bonds, i suppose, and how we handle emotions between fighting and counseling
[17:59] <Carrie (Half Form)> i mean...we've got packs..but it's more a...family dynamic?
[17:59] <Carrie (Half Form)> but we don't really......get along with otehrs
[17:59] <Miara> most packs are...ah, that
[18:03] <Carrie (Half Form)> yeah
[18:03] <Miara> you might ask Luke, the leader of Eiry and Tally's home pack. they're probably the most liberal and he might do it
[18:06] <Carrie (Half Form)> eh I might give them a chat
[18:17] <Miara> hungry. food?
[18:21] <Carrie (Half Form)> starved
[18:24] * Henry Dorsett Charon emerges from the hotel room, having played all day with the new Sendai he was given by Chateaux
[18:24] <Henry Dorsett Charon> I do not recognize you both.
[18:24] <Carrie (Half Form)> huh?
[18:25] * Miara goes over to grab some food
[18:25] <Carrie (Half Form)> i don't recongize you either?
[18:25] <Miara> yo
[18:25] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Hi. Who are you both?
[18:25] <Henry Dorsett Charon> You do not seem familiar to me.
[18:25] <Miara> Miara
[18:26] <Carrie (Half Form)> um...I'm Carrie?
[18:27] * Miara returns w/ marinated meat and chocolate mouse
[18:27] * Miara looks at Henry Dorsett Charon.
[18:27] *** Henry Dorsett Charon is Henry Dorsett Charon is a guy who looked at the sky above the port, and saw it was tuned to a dead old analog television channel.

[18:28] <Carrie (Half Form)> oooo yum!
[18:28] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Hi, Carrie.
[18:29] <Miara> (( you should be able to use a [ url style link for that ))
[18:29] * Henry Dorsett Charon looks at Carrie (Half Form)
[18:29] * Henry Dorsett Charon looks at Carrie (Half Form).
[18:29] *** Carrie (Half Form) is half girl half wolf with short red fur along her entire body, fang like teeth, claws and a wolf like face.
Her image Song is: .
[18:29] <Miara> there's foods and a bar and stuff if you don't know already
[18:31] <Henry Dorsett Charon> I know it already, people have told me. There are also supercomputers here posing as business workstations.
[18:31] <Miara> ok good
[18:36] <Miara> so how did you end up here?
[18:37] <Miara> if you wanna share, anyway
[18:43] <Henry Dorsett Charon> I got curious about this odd hotel. Actually, I needed a place to stay.
[18:43] <Henry Dorsett Charon> So I ended up here. Ever since then, things have only gotten stranger.
[18:44] <Henry Dorsett Charon> I saw things that you wouldn't even believe.
[18:44] <Miara> a lot of us will
[18:45] <Carrie (Half Form)> I grew up around these place
[18:45] <Carrie (Half Form)> well..half my life
[18:45] <Miara> anything that particularly inspires you?
[18:46] <Henry Dorsett Charon> I am into hacking. Otherwise, it's video games most of the time. Or reading into rabbit holes.
[18:46] <Miara> well your parents have been here for ages
[18:46] <Miara> oh. have you seen the danger room yet?
[18:47] <Henry Dorsett Charon> I haven't.
[18:47] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (The term danger room can't be good news.)
[18:47] <Miara> it's like a holodeck, with a different name
[18:49] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Interesting.
[18:50] <Miara> you could make a probably play one of your games for real in there
[18:50] <Miara> just make sure the safety protocols are on to start
[18:51] * Miara digs into her chocolate
[18:53] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Hmm. (Let's see how it's like to play Tempest.)
[18:53] * Carrie (Half Form) tears into the meat
[18:53] <Miara> i was made and brought here for a certain group thing, and so there's no point in leaving until that's over. but original me hung out here, so I would have always ended up here
[18:55] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Ah.
[19:01] * Henry Dorsett Charon heads to the bar
[19:04] <Miara> anyway, there's lots of different peoples and species here to talk to, and things to get involved in
[19:08] <Miara> so, where are you taking your group Wednesday, Carrie/
[19:08] <Carrie (Half Form)> well
[19:09] <Carrie (Half Form)> there's this spot near the mountains that's really good for running
[19:09] <Miara> oh nice
[19:09] <Miara> i think we're going to VT, it was Tally's pick this time
[19:13] <Henry Dorsett Charon> And what is VT? Vermont?
[19:14] <Miara> yeah, it's a US state, in the northeast.
[19:14] <Henry Dorsett Charon> How are you going to get to Vermont from here?
[19:15] <Miara> there's several ways that don't involve planes
[19:15] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Such as?
[19:15] <Henry Dorsett Charon> [[This is going to get strange.}}
[19:15] <Miara> some of the doors go different places, and there's the random door; i often use transmat for other areas
[19:15] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (This is going to get strange.)
[19:16] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Odd. So you just walk into the door and you're in Vermont.
[19:17] <Miara> only the random one, if you concentrate hard enough and don't have bad intentions
[19:17] <Miara> the NY and London and Paris doors will just do, though
[19:18] <Carrie (Half Form)> yeah
[19:18] <Carrie (Half Form)> I'm from Chicago by the way
[19:18] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (Neither cities seem to be appealing to me at the moment.) I don't know my parents. All I know is that I come from Atlanta.
[19:19] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Then I lived in Miami until I was 18. Then I became a cyberspace hacker because I had nothing else to do.
[19:21] <Miara> i...have been all those places!
[19:21] <Henry Dorsett Charon> That has to be fun.
[19:22] <Miara> i travel a lot
[19:22] <Miara> saw most of my own planet before mom just let me start traveling here
[19:22] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (I used to be into a weird combination of Atlanta Braves baseball and Miami Dolphins football. Last I heard, the former won a World Series. The latter couldn't hack itself into a MS-DOS terminal if it were hackers.)
[19:23] <Henry Dorsett Charon> What an interesting life you have here, Miara.
[19:23] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Your own planet?
[19:23] <Miara> not as much these days...
[19:24] * Carrie (Half Form) sniffs the air
[19:24] <Henry Dorsett Charon> What do you mean?
[19:24] <Miara> like some of us here at the Hotel, i didn't grow up on Earth
[19:25] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (Now this is truly special. Extraterrestrial life.) Which other species have made the Hotel home?
[19:25] <Miara> plenty. you okay with all this new info? it can be a lot
[19:27] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Sure, although I will confess, this whole hotel to me is a modified TARDIS from what I have been told.
[19:27] <Miara> it is!
[19:29] <Miara> do you know what a TARDIS is?
[19:29] <Henry Dorsett Charon> From what I know, it looks like an old English policebox, but inside is so much space that you could fit a NASA supercomputer inside.
[19:30] <Miara> time and relative dimensions in space. basically supertech time machine.
[19:31] <Miara> but you can make it what you want inside. it also have a nifty translation field which the Hotel also uses, so you can understand everyone
[19:32] <Henry Dorsett Charon> So even if I speak thick old pre-1917 Russian here, people would understand perfectly.
[19:33] <Miara> and if you get the chance to travel with a Time Lord, do! it's the most fun ever!
[19:33] <Miara> yes. is speak Lupa most of that time
[19:33] <Miara> *I
[19:33] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Hm. I might take you up on the Time Lord offer.
[19:34] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (Largely because I would love to know what the hell is going on with those Time Lords.)
[19:35] * Carrie (Half Form) walks over and sticks her face out the door, sniffing
[19:36] <Miara> what's up, Carrie?
[19:38] <Miara> heh. most of our Time Lords are outliers, that may not be a good way of finding out the main body of them
[19:39] <Carrie (Half Form)> smell someting weird
[19:40] <Miara> what kind of weird?
[19:40] * Miara goes over to scent it, as well
[19:40] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (Weird?)
[19:40] * Henry Dorsett Charon heads over to Carrie
[19:40] * Henry Dorsett Charon tries to smell the scent
[19:43] *** you can't smell anything out of the ordinary, Charon
[19:43] <Carrie (Half Form)> I don't know like.....something's..off
[19:43] <Carrie (Half Form)> like no smell....
[19:43] <Carrie (Half Form)> you smell it, Miara?
[19:44] <Miara> hmm. hold on.
[19:44] <Henry Dorsett Charon> I don't smell anything that's different.
[19:45] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (They might. They're extraterrestrials.)
[19:45] * Miara turns to Henry. "do you freak out easily?"
[19:46] <Miara> it's more a feel than a smell, maybe?
[19:46] <Carrie (Half Form)> yeah feels..weird...
[19:47] <Henry Dorsett Charon> I can get paranoid.
[19:47] <Miara> hm. nm then.
[19:47] <Henry Dorsett Charon> If this is a strange smell, then we better find out what it is.
[19:48] <Miara> there's often strange smells are feeling around here, so many powers and stuff, but this feels a bit more fundamental
[19:48] * Miara expands her astral a bit, dropping some of the shielding to see if she can sense any more
[19:49] * Henry Dorsett Charon gets ready.
[19:50] *** roll 1d10, Miara
[19:50] <spiritflame> Miara rolls 1d10 [ 1 ]
[19:51] *** something CLAWS at your brain, Miara, like something striking back
[19:51] * Miara quickly shields again
[19:52] <Miara> whatever it is, it's not pleasant
[19:52] <Henry Dorsett Charon> That is not good news.
[19:52] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (First the smell, then this.)
[19:52] <Carrie (Half Form)> yeah so i'm not crazy!
[19:52] <Miara> many times of things have protections, not necessarily bad
[19:53] <Miara> *types
[19:53] <Henry Dorsett Charon> I would like to know what caused that smell and that thing.
[19:54] <Miara> i don't really know, but it's either protected or something very uncomfortable to the mind
[19:55] <Carrie (Half Form)> ...ok it's gone back to normal now
[19:56] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (Phew.) I have questions, however. What was that smell? Why can't humans detect it, but you both could? And what was that?
[19:56] <Carrie (Half Form)> ...cause i'm a werewolf?
[19:56] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Fair enough
[19:57] <Miara> you might just be a regular Human, unless you know of any powers you have? there are lots of Human+ here.
[19:57] <Miara> and i'm also not Human
[19:58] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Just a regular human, I guess.
[20:00] <Miara> sounds like you've got mad computer skills
[20:00] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Yes, I do.
[20:01] <Henry Dorsett Charon> How can you tell?
[20:01] <Miara> you said you were a hacker a couple of times
[20:02] <Carrie (Half Form)> wait..like in the movies?
[20:02] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Yes, I am, but there are many types of hackers, some are bad, and some are good. I guess I'm one of the good ones.
[20:03] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Yes, like in the movies.
[20:04] * Miara suddenly sits up and looks at her phone
[20:04] <Miara> meh, i'm late apparently. be back later!
[20:04] * Miara is away: training
[20:05] <Henry Dorsett Charon> See you later, Miara.
[20:05] * Carrie (Half Form) streaches
[20:15] <Carrie (Half Form)> well
[21:30] * Det. Ema Skye has moved to: [ ]
[21:30] *** Det. Ema Skye has moved back to the Atrium
[21:30] * Det. Ema Skye walks in the door looking dead tired and flops back ona couch
[21:31] <Carrie (Half Form)> hey there
[21:32] <Det. Ema Skye> Hey~
[21:32] <Carrie (Half Form)> you ok there?
[21:33] <Det. Ema Skye> Long, weord day
[21:33] <Det. Ema Skye> ^weird
[21:33] <Det. Ema Skye> strange happenings down in the Alien Zone
[21:33] <Carrie (Half Form)> tell me about it
[21:33] <Carrie (Half Form)> tonight feels weird
[21:36] <Carrie (Half Form)> ..something is happening
[21:36] <Det. Ema Skye> Tell me about it
[21:38] <Carrie (Half Form)> ....thre's someTHING out there
[21:39] <Det. Ema Skye> Any idea what it could be?
[21:42] <Carrie (Half Form)> look would i call it a THING if I knew?
[21:43] <Det. Ema Skye> Okay, okay, I get it~
[21:44] <Det. Ema Skye> What have you been encountering?
[21:44] * Det. Ema Skye tells her about what she experienced earlier
[21:46] <Carrie (Half Form)> that's f[BLEEP]ked up
[21:46] <Carrie (Half Form)> ..mine was just..a space of no smel
[21:46] <Carrie (Half Form)> ...and then Miara got attacked by something
[21:46] <Henry Dorsett Charon> I witnessed all of this, by the way.
[21:47] <Carrie (Half Form)> GAH
[21:48] * Det. Ema Skye looks at Henry Dorset Charon.
[21:48] *** Henry Dorset Charon is your average everyday Henry Dorset Charon

[21:48] * Det. Ema Skye looks at Henry Dorsett Charon.

[21:48] <Det. Ema Skye> Hi there, new here? I'm Ema Skye
[21:49] <Henry Dorsett Charon> My name is Henry.
[21:49] <Det. Ema Skye> ...Miara was attacked?
[21:49] <Henry Dorsett Charon> I recently settled into this hotel.
[21:49] <Det. Ema Skye> Nice to meet you, Henry
[21:49] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Yes, by something I do not know.
[21:49] * Det. Ema Skye sits up a little, getting into business mode
[21:50] <Det. Ema Skye> What did you all see?
[21:50] <Carrie (Half Form)> I didn't..see it
[21:50] <Carrie (Half Form)> just felt it
[21:51] <Henry Dorsett Charon> I saw something attack her brain. I have no idea what it is, or whether or not it is related to the smell Carrie and Miara had.
[21:51] <Henry Dorsett Charon> To be honest, it could be.
[21:52] <Carrie (Half Form)> is something going on I don't know??? hwere the f[BLEEP]k is everyone?
[21:54] <Henry Dorsett Charon> I have my own questions. What makes you qualified to lead such an investigation?
[21:54] * Det. Ema Skye flashes her badge
[21:55] <Det. Ema Skye> I work with with Alein Zone police and I;ve done time with Torchwood Japan.
[21:55] <Det. Ema Skye> I've seen things you probably wouldn't believe.
[21:56] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (Checks out.)
[21:56] <Det. Ema Skye> A complete lack of scent, huh...
[21:56] <Det. Ema Skye> that implies they're not fully "here" in a physical sense.
[21:56] <Henry Dorsett Charon> I couldn't smell anything out of the ordinary myself. Carrie and the other person who was with them, they could.
[21:56] <Carrie (Half Form)> that's freaky
[21:57] <Det. Ema Skye> It's very rare and odd for something to not leave some kind of scent a Lupa or a wereworlf couldn't detect.
[21:57] * Det. Ema Skye is tired so probably used a double negative there, you get the jist
[21:57] * Det. Ema Skye rubs the bridge of her nose
[21:58] <Det. Ema Skye> Chaaaaat you awake and sober?
[21:58] * @Chateaux Concierge fizzles into view
[21:58] <@Chateaux Concierge> Yes and maybe?
[21:58] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Fair, I don't belong to a different species. I only witnessed this. Besides, I'm a hacker, not a smellotologist, or whatever they call themselves.
[21:59] <Det. Ema Skye> The Alien Zone and here, any weird dimensional stuff happen today? Beyind whatever's been going on for however long it's been?
[21:59] * @Chateaux Concierge checks over her sensor readings
[21:59] <Carrie (Half Form)> that..is still awesome by the way..
[21:59] <@Chateaux Concierge> What? My boobs? I know.
[21:59] *** the sensors read everything is absolutly normal out there.... Absolutly Normal
[22:00] <Det. Ema Skye> ¬_¬
[22:00] <@Chateaux Concierge> EVerything's perfectly normal
[22:00] <@Chateaux Concierge> ...which is weird.
[22:00] * Henry Dorsett Charon had an idea to check Cyberspace, so he went over to the nearest computer in the HOTEL.
[22:00] <Det. Ema Skye> Whaddya mean?
[22:00] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Let's see. Maybe there is nothing on my end too.
[22:01] <@Chateaux Concierge> Like there should be natural background varations, you know?
[22:01] <@Chateaux Concierge> But this like if someone taped a polaroid over a security camera
[22:01] * Henry Dorsett Charon checks Cyberspace for any anomalies
[22:01] <@Chateaux Concierge> it's EXACTLY NOMINAL
[22:01] *** Charon, have you gotten into hte computer?
[22:01] *** ok!
[22:01] <Det. Ema Skye> yeah that is odd
[22:01] *** Charon, you find alot of new conspicary theory articles out there...most of them talk about a rise in strange sightings
[22:02] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Everyone. Take a look at this.
[22:02] <Carrie (Half Form)> huh?
[22:02] * Carrie (Half Form) walks over to look
[22:03] <Henry Dorsett Charon> In multiple articles from sources that aren't exactly reliable, they talk about seeing strange things all over the place. As much as I want to take them with a grain of salt, something about this is weird.
[22:04] <Carrie (Half Form)> that..is alot
[22:05] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Which is why I don't think they are just making it up as usual. But then again, Chateaux found nothing. What the hell is going on...
[22:05] * Det. Ema Skye takes a look too
[22:05] <Det. Ema Skye> yeah but chat's "nothing" feels like a "something"
[22:05] <Det. Ema Skye> like those readings are false. It'
[22:06] <Carrie (Half Form)> so out there are all these weird ass sightings and here there's nothing
[22:06] <Det. Ema Skye> It's like when a forger exactly reproduces a signature the same way every time
[22:07] <Henry Dorsett Charon> I wonder if those readings from your scans are false too.
[22:07] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Something is very fishy about this.
[22:07] * @Chateaux Concierge runs some cecksum analysis on her scan results to see if they've been tampered with
[22:07] * ^checksum
[22:08] * Henry Dorsett Charon looks through cyberspace for anything else about the situation
[22:08] <@Chateaux Concierge> Okay so like my scanners are my eyes in a literal sense. If someone's messing with my inputs, I'm of no help
[22:09] <@Chateaux Concierge> I mean if I didn't notice what was lurking around in here
[22:09] <Henry Dorsett Charon> And how would it be possible for someone to hack into your inputs?
[22:09] <Det. Ema Skye> Does that mean a Time Lord was messing with you?
[22:09] <@Chateaux Concierge> Or any other sufficiently higher order intelligence.
[22:10] *** Charon, you find alot of reports on cult acitivity....
[22:10] <@Chateaux Concierge> Anything with the ability to f[BLEEP]k with dimensions probably has the chops
[22:10] <Carrie (Half Form)> ..so what do we do?
[22:10] <@Chateaux Concierge> Your best!
[22:10] <@Chateaux Concierge> As for me?
[22:10] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (Cults. This is going to get ugly.) Take a look at this.
[22:10] * @Chateaux Concierge pulls a bottle of jack out of her cleavage, uncorks it and guzzles
[22:10] * @Chateaux Concierge is away: I leave it... to you
[22:11] <Det. Ema Skye> ...Of course.
[22:11] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Cult activity. How is this related to the smell, to the biting thing, and to all those anomalies...
[22:11] * Det. Ema Skye looks over the reports of cult activity
[22:11] <Det. Ema Skye> I've heard of reports of cultists flocking to various henges the last couple of weeks
[22:12] <Det. Ema Skye> ...
[22:12] * Det. Ema Skye thinks
[22:12] <Det. Ema Skye> Where have I...
[22:12] * Det. Ema Skye looks over to the whiteboard in one part of the Atrium
[22:12] <Det. Ema Skye> That English girl... Quartermass?
[22:12] <Det. Ema Skye> She was researching it, I think she found a pattern
[22:13] <Carrie (Half Form)> who?
[22:13] * Det. Ema Skye goes over to the whiteboard
[22:13] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Who is Quartermass?
[22:13] <Det. Ema Skye> I dunno, someone Sakura A. was working with
[22:13] <Det. Ema Skye> A scientist I think
[22:13] <Det. Ema Skye> I think she had been charting all the locations
[22:13] * Det. Ema Skye looks over the whiteboard
[22:14] *** there are numerious points drawn on a map...and of course the tracings marking out the strange word it writes
[22:14] * Det. Ema Skye reads the word
[22:15] <Henry Dorsett Charon> What did I just hear?
[22:15] *** the lights flicker slightly in the hotel if you read it out loud, Ema
[22:15] * Henry Dorsett Charon has no idea what type of cults are they
[22:16] * Det. Ema Skye had read it out loud yes
[22:16] <Det. Ema Skye> Uhhh...
[22:17] * Det. Ema Skye ... says it again experimentally
[22:17] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (That word causes the hotel's lights to flicker? What sort of force would cause that to occur? I have too many questions.)
[22:17] * @Chateaux Concierge sticks just her head up through the floor
[22:17] <@Chateaux Concierge> What the f[BLEEP]k are you a[BLEEP]les doing stop it
[22:17] <Det. Ema Skye> I don't know?
[22:17] <Det. Ema Skye> I just read a word?
[22:18] <Henry Dorsett Charon> You tell me why that word caused the lights on this hotel to flicker.
[22:18] *** the lights flicker again, Ema after you read that
[22:18] <@Chateaux Concierge> Because you apes
[22:18] <@Chateaux Concierge> Words have power
[22:18] <@Chateaux Concierge> They can even bend reality if they're the right ones
[22:19] <@Chateaux Concierge> And whatever she's reading there is one such
[22:19] <@Chateaux Concierge> It's giving me a headache ema so stop it
[22:19] * Henry Dorsett Charon begins to look up in Cyberspace which words would cause reality distortion, and readies a protection program in case of a hack
[22:19] <Det. Ema Skye> Wait
[22:19] <Det. Ema Skye> Chat
[22:19] <Det. Ema Skye> Any difference in your readings when I was reading out the words
[22:19] * @Chateaux Concierge checks
[22:21] *** there's a blank in the readings..as if something blinked
[22:21] <@Chateaux Concierge> I have no logs for those moments
[22:21] * Henry Dorsett Charon notices this
[22:21] <Det. Ema Skye> What do you mean "no logs"
[22:21] <Henry Dorsett Charon> How?
[22:21] <@Chateaux Concierge> Nothing. Nada. Nil. It's like nothing existed for me to read.
[22:22] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (Why? How? What?)
[22:22] <Det. Ema Skye> ...An "Abscence?"
[22:22] <@Chateaux Concierge> Near as I can figure.
[22:22] * Det. Ema Skye presses a finger to her forehead, thinking
[22:22] * Henry Dorsett Charon aborts checking Cyberspace for any information on words and wonders if cyberspace was affected in any way, wanting to check
[22:22] <Det. Ema Skye> (Just like something that has no smell)
[22:23] * @Chateaux Concierge sinks back through the floor, with a headache now THANKS EMA ..|..
[22:23] * Henry Dorsett Charon also checks the protection programs, wanting to see if there is anything more powerful
[22:24] *** there are ALOT of information, Charon....at least a few protection programs which seem legit
[22:25] * Henry Dorsett Charon gets the most legitimate one, but also gets the feeling that the only reason he has a protection program with him is because of how vague the threat is. Yet after readings all showed up as NILL and after the smell incident, he can't take any chances.
[22:26] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (What irks me is that I cannot hack whatever is causing this. Yet.)
[22:27] * Carrie (Half Form) gnaws on a bone..thinking
[22:30] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (I don't know what type of cult is doing this. I don't know if there is any that could summon power to cuas anomalies. And my knowledge in the arts of word chanting to cause reality to go silly is limited at best.)
[22:39] <Carrie (Half Form)> ...
[22:39] * Carrie (Half Form) offers some meat to Charon
[22:39] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Thanks.
[22:40] * Henry Dorsett Charon eats the meat.
[22:47] * Henry Dorsett Charon continues to do research into all of this. Hacking has given him, unintentionally decent research skills.
[22:48] *** D. Kakaku has joined #suburbansenshi2
[22:48] <@spiritflame> konbanwa D. Kakaku
[22:50] * D. Kakaku walks downstairs
[22:53] <D. Kakaku> evening
[22:54] <Det. Ema Skye> Evening Daniel
[22:54] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Evening.
[22:54] <D. Kakaku> how's it going, Ema?
[22:58] <Det. Ema Skye> Could be better.
[22:58] <Carrie (Half Form)> ..so what do we do now?
[22:58] <Det. Ema Skye> Well let's look at what we know
[22:58] * Det. Ema Skye looks over the whiteboard
[22:58] <Det. Ema Skye> going by these notes
[22:59] <Det. Ema Skye> This all started when a spaceship showed up from the Galactic Census, told us we've been missing 4 planets in the Solar system since around 70,000 years ago and they put our whole solar system into time out because we couldn't gfind them...
[22:59] * Carrie (Half Form) looks
[22:59] <Det. Ema Skye> ... then we start trackign them down... it looks like there was some kind of gatweway or seal in the oort cloud
[23:00] <Det. Ema Skye> this leads to finding ouut some mysterious sigils and things...
[23:00] <Det. Ema Skye> then these cultists start coming out of the woodwork flocking to various places
[23:00] <Det. Ema Skye> the locations of which made up this "Word of power" (for lack of a better term
[23:00] <Det. Ema Skye> which when spoken messes with reality
[23:01] <Det. Ema Skye> and now we're getting attacked by strange things that are "not here"
[23:01] <Carrie (Half Form)> huh
[23:01] <Det. Ema Skye> It all feels linked somehow
[23:01] <Det. Ema Skye> like... whatever ancient powers are mixed up in all this are rearing their decidedly unscientific heads.
[23:02] * Det. Ema Skye grumbles and pulls some snackoos out of her back and munches them
[23:02] <Det. Ema Skye> And whatever this is basically spirited away all the time lords and half the other people investigating this
[23:02] <Carrie (Half Form)> ...well that's weird
[23:02] <Det. Ema Skye> So what We do...
[23:02] <Det. Ema Skye> ...is try to pick up the pieces
[23:02] <Henry Dorsett Charon> ...Great. So this ancient power decided of all times, to now show up. I presume my protection software is useless.
[23:03] * Det. Ema Skye chuckles
[23:03] <Det. Ema Skye> Hey don't feel bad Henry
[23:03] <Det. Ema Skye> I'm a cop
[23:03] <Det. Ema Skye> all I have is this gun
[23:03] <Det. Ema Skye> and it's pretty damn useless too
[23:03] <Det. Ema Skye> We're just gonna have to be smart, I guess.
[23:03] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Being powerless sucks.
[23:04] <D. Kakaku> so, what's going on?
[23:04] <Det. Ema Skye> It does... but
[23:04] <Carrie (Half Form)> hey you're smart! you're a hacker!
[23:04] <Det. Ema Skye> if there...
[23:04] <Det. Ema Skye> Daniel I just gave a rundown
[23:04] <Det. Ema Skye> literally a minute ago
[23:05] * Det. Ema Skye sighs the sigh of a forensic detective who has seen too much s[BLEEP]t today
[23:05] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (There has to be a way to counter this ancient power. No one is invincible.)
[23:05] <Det. Ema Skye> Up until now, going bny these notes, whatever strangeness has been going on has been... kind of out there
[23:05] <Det. Ema Skye> but it now looks like it's closing in
[23:06] <Det. Ema Skye> We need... whatever experts are left in this field to help out
[23:06] <Det. Ema Skye> otherwise we're just guessing
[23:06] <Det. Ema Skye> and in science, guesses are worthless
[23:06] <D. Kakaku> (( attention divided at the moment. ))
[23:06] <Det. Ema Skye> (( this is why srolling back is a thing lol ))
[23:07] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Guesses are like playing Russian roulette in hacking.
[23:07] <Det. Ema Skye> Yeah
[23:07] <Det. Ema Skye> and I don't feel like getting my head blown off.
[23:07] * Det. Ema Skye sighs and thinks
[23:07] <D. Kakaku> are we talking about the invisible whatevbers that chop things?
[23:07] * Det. Ema Skye pulls out her phone and called Greenstone manor to see if Matsuo Shin is around
[23:08] <Det. Ema Skye> ...Possibly?
[23:08] <Det. Ema Skye> What do you mean "chop things"
[23:08] * Henry Dorsett Charon continues research with all the information Ema Skye had said in cyberspace
[23:08] <Det. Ema Skye> I haven't been around in a few weeks
[23:08] * D. Kakaku rolls up his wirght sleeve
[23:08] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (What the hell could the vastness of the matrix could say about this...ancient power...?)
[23:11] *** there is ALOT of rumors on net....you find a few articles on theotricial planets
[23:12] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (And what is a theoretical planet? Sounds like something the IAU or NASA or whatever space agency's fringe department came up with.)
[23:12] * Henry Dorsett Charon reads those articles
[23:12] * D. Kakaku checks for a scar on his right shoulder
[23:13] * Det. Ema Skye sees what Daniel's doing
[23:14] <Det. Ema Skye> Did something happen, Daniel?
[23:14] <D. Kakaku> yeah, something did happen.
[23:14] <D. Kakaku> a while back
[23:14] <Det. Ema Skye> What happened?
[23:15] <D. Kakaku> well, I was investigating a knife that someone found.
[23:15] <Det. Ema Skye> What came of that?
[23:19] <D. Kakaku> Something sliced by arm clean off! while I was looking at a purple blob.... the carvings looked like it was made with lasers despite being a very old object, and those laser marks were very old, too.
[23:19] <Det. Ema Skye> ........
[23:20] * Det. Ema Skye rmemebers what happened in that... Vision(?() she head earlier today
[23:20] <Det. Ema Skye> Where was this?
[23:20] <D. Kakaku> well, I almost can't say, but it was somewhere in Devonshire, England.
[23:22] <Det. Ema Skye> ...how did you r arm get fixeD? the EMH?
[23:23] <D. Kakaku> yeah... the place I was in had its own EMH
[23:23] <D. Kakaku> it took me a few days
[23:24] * Henry Dorsett Charon continues the research into theoretical planets
[23:24] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (Christ, this sounds like something out of a Dan Simmons novel.)
[23:25] <Det. Ema Skye> Interesting
[23:26] * Det. Ema Skye doesn't know where that fots in yet but makes a note on a blank part of the whiteboard
[23:26] *** most of the articles sort of repeate themselves..
[23:26] * Det. Ema Skye tries calling Matsuo Shin again
[23:26] * Henry Dorsett Charon gets irked at the repetitive information, like he's a student again in a Florida high school
[23:29] * Matsuo Shin has moved to: [ Phone ]
[23:29] <Matsuo Shin> [Phone] ♦ hm? yes?
[23:29] * Matsuo Shin [Phone] sounds like he was just woken up
[23:30] * Det. Ema Skye has moved to: [ Phone ]
[23:30] <Det. Ema Skye> [Phone] Hey Matsuo we need to pick your brain over here at the HOTEL
[23:30] <Matsuo Shin> [Phone] ♦ ...I can't exactly go over there you know
[23:30] <Det. Ema Skye> [Phone] There's tons of Esoteric stuff going on that's ---
[23:31] <Det. Ema Skye> [Phone] What isn't there a door or something?
[23:31] * Matsuo Shin [Phone] is heard telling someone off the phone..telling them that it's Ema
[23:31] <Matsuo Shin> [Phone] ♦ ..Ema, I'm not home
[23:31] * Det. Ema Skye [Phone] sighs
[23:31] <Det. Ema Skye> [Phone] Can you get on a video call at least
[23:31] <Matsuo Shin> [Phone] ♦ it's....nearly 11 at night here...
[23:31] <Matsuo Shin> [Phone] ♦ give me a second....
[23:32] * Matsuo Shin [Phone] turns on a video call........
[23:32] * Matsuo Shin has moved to: [ Video ]
[23:32] <Det. Ema Skye> [Phone] Look I hate to bother you at night, but if it wasn't impportant I wouldn't
[23:32] * Det. Ema Skye [Phone] points the phone at the whiteboard
[23:32] * Matsuo Shin [Video] is obviously holding the camera....he's sitting up in bed...his wife is *TRYING* to sleep next to him
[23:32] <Det. Ema Skye> [Phone] We've got strange things that aren't "here" attacking us and this strange word that if you say it makes the lights flicker
[23:33] <Det. Ema Skye> [Phone] and computer logs stop recording data
[23:33] <Matsuo Shin> [Video] ♦ ugh hold on let me look
[23:33] * Det. Ema Skye [Phone] would be sympathetic but she's a police CSI who's on-call and has had to work straight through the night so
[23:34] <Det. Ema Skye> [Phone] And Miara was attgacked by something Carrie and she coulf not smell
[23:34] <Det. Ema Skye> [Phone] Bascially, we need to understanf what's going on or at least how to start protecting ourselves
[23:35] <Matsuo Shin> [Video] ♦ Ema...I must be honest..I don't recongize ANY of this......I mean..those symbols.....
[23:35] <Det. Ema Skye> [Phone] Have you hard of anything like this at least?
[23:35] * Det. Ema Skye [Phone] goes over what happened to her ealier today
[23:35] <Matsuo Shin> [Video] ♦ if they're authetic..they're probably...pre-Moon Kingdom.....which is pretty impossible
[23:36] <Det. Ema Skye> [Phone] Why?
[23:36] <Det. Ema Skye> [Phone] Aren't the missing planets we're dealing with pre-Moon Kingdom too?
[23:36] <Matsuo Shin> [Video] ♦ what missing planets?
[23:36] * Det. Ema Skye [Phone] points to the "70,000 BCE" om the white--
[23:37] <Det. Ema Skye> [Phone] I was sure you were looped in on this
[23:37] * Det. Ema Skye [Phone] goes over the whole thing about the planets
[23:37] <Matsuo Shin> [Video] ♦ look..Ema....I know how vital this is but i am very tired....We just got back from a concert.....my wife had a bit to drink.....
[23:37] * Det. Ema Skye [Phone] goes over how they would have existed somewhere near planet Quinox
[23:37] <Matsuo Shin> [Video] ♦ why don' tyou just..check my notes...
[23:37] <Det. Ema Skye> [Phone] ...Where are they?
[23:38] <Matsuo Shin> [Video] ♦ you all take care...say hello to my sister
[23:38] <Matsuo Shin> [Video] ♦ they're at the manor....
[23:38] <Matsuo Shin> [Video] ♦ good night to you....yes i'm hanging up, Sally...
[23:38] <Det. Ema Skye> [Phone] ...Thanks Matsuo
[23:38] *** Matsuo Shin [Shin@history.um.u-tokyo.ac.jp] has left #suburbansenshi2
[23:38] * Det. Ema Skye [Phone] hangs up
[23:38] *** Det. Ema Skye has moved back to the Atrium
[23:38] * Det. Ema Skye SIGHS
[23:39] <Det. Ema Skye> (If I hoved off Neva like that I'd be out of a job)
[23:39] <Det. Ema Skye> Greenstone Manor huh
[23:39] <Det. Ema Skye> ...I've never been there
[23:39] * Det. Ema Skye rubs the bridge of her nose
[23:39] <Det. Ema Skye> Loving this night. Loving it.
[23:40] <Det. Ema Skye> CHAT is there a door to Greenstone Manor
[23:40] <@Chateaux Concierge> F[BLEEP]king hire a cab leave me along
[23:40] <@Chateaux Concierge> ^alone
[23:40] * @Chateaux Concierge is away: I just want to get drunk and watch my Telenovelas
[23:41] * Det. Ema Skye Anger-munches some more Snackoos
[23:42] * Henry Dorsett Charon sighs.
[23:43] * Det. Ema Skye sees no cabbies will ride out that far this late
[23:43] <Det. Ema Skye> I'll go grab them tomorrow
[23:43] <Det. Ema Skye> I just hope nothing comes after us in the meantime
[23:43] <D. Kakaku> yeah.
[23:46] <Det. Ema Skye> Well Daniel, you wanted more action, I have a feelingit might be coming your way'
[23:46] <D. Kakaku> whew, awesome.
[23:46] <Det. Ema Skye> Is it? Remember the ancient Chinese curse
[23:47] <Henry Dorsett Charon> "May you live in interesting times."
[23:47] <Det. Ema Skye> Bingo.
[23:48] <D. Kakaku> heh, don't tell me, you agree that I should make interesting times, too?
[23:49] <Det. Ema Skye> I'm saying that you thinking more action heading your way is "awesome" could be a double-edged sword.
[23:49] <Det. Ema Skye> Bccause it means you'll be in the line of fire.
[23:49] <Det. Ema Skye> ...And what do you mean "make interesting times?"
[23:53] <D. Kakaku> eh, someone suggested I should be more proactive by making you more reactive.
[23:55] <Det. Ema Skye> ....trying to figure out how that would work
[23:55] <Henry Dorsett Charon> I am heading to bed. I have no idea how to counter this ancient threat. You can't just hack into stuff like that. Hope you find something the Net does not have, Ema. Night, folks.
[23:56] <D. Kakaku> night, Henry
[23:57] <Det. Ema Skye> Night Henry, nice meeting you.
[23:58] <Det. Ema Skye> And learning how to counter the nacient threat is what makes this place fun... and terrifying hahaha
[23:59] <D. Kakaku> heheheh
[00:11] <Det. Ema Skye> So... are you worried about being proactive?
[00:15] <D. Kakaku> yeah, it isn't really fun for me when I was being proactive the few times I was.
[00:17] <Det. Ema Skye> Well, you shouldn't force yourself to do something you don't want to.
[00:23] <D. Kakaku> ah, thanks, Ema
[00:26] * Det. Ema Skye gives him a thumbs up
[00:47] <Det. Ema Skye> Well, it's late, I should crash. Night, Daniel
[00:47] * Det. Ema Skye is away: grabs a room and passes out, will check in with the Coroner tomorrow
[00:48] <D. Kakaku> night, Ema
[11:26] * Merc_Nezu has moved to: [ The Atrium ]
[11:27] * Merc_Nezu [The Atrium] sits under a tree, reding something (The weather outside is not very pleasing)
[11:27] <Merc_Nezu> (( *reading* ))
[11:30] *** The domestikit rests on one of her shoulders, leaning forward to peek into her book, too :-3
[11:33] *** D. Kakaku has joined #suburbansenshi2
[11:33] <@spiritflame> ohayo D. Kakaku
[11:38] <D. Kakaku> morning
[11:39] * Merc_Nezu [The Atrium] looks up from her lecture
[11:39] <Merc_Nezu> [The Atrium] Oh, hello, Daniel-san.
[11:40] <D. Kakaku> how's it going?
[11:42] <Merc_Nezu> [The Atrium] The others are out for getting some stuff, I'm on my own here today, trying to enjoy the day for what it is.
[11:42] <D. Kakaku> alright, sounds good.
[11:44] <D. Kakaku> is there anything you'd like me to check?
[11:45] <Merc_Nezu> [The Atrium] *sighs* Naah, nothing that catches my interest right now, but you can sit down here with me for a moment if you like.
[11:48] <D. Kakaku> alright.
[11:48] * D. Kakaku sits down next to Ami
[11:51] * Merc_Nezu [The Atrium] hums a bit 🎶
[11:52] <D. Kakaku> hmmmm, sounds so nice.
[11:52] * D. Kakaku lays back on the sofa cushion.
[11:54] <D. Kakaku> mmm, I kinda wish I was laying on something softer.
[11:56] * Merc_Nezu [The Atrium] eyes him, getting a grip of what he might hint at �
[11:57] * Merc_Nezu is away: Have a good rest-weekend y'all 💙
[11:57] <D. Kakaku> hmmmm, getting at what I'm saying, hehehe
[11:57] * D. Kakaku is away: well, heheh
[20:07] * Keska looks over the whiteboard again
[20:18] <Keska> ..I knew it! I knew i recongized it!
[20:19] <> ...?
[20:19] <Det. Ema Skye> ?
[20:20] <Det. Ema Skye> You're... Keska right?
[20:23] * Keska JUMPS
[20:23] <Keska> oh hello!
[20:24] *** Keska has joined #suburbansenshi2
[20:24] <@spiritflame> konbanwa Keska
[20:24] <Keska> sorry I was..looking at this
[20:26] * Keska looks back at the whiteboard
[20:27] <Det. Ema Skye> You said you recognized something?
[20:27] <Det. Ema Skye> I'm Detective Ema Skye, I'm with the Alien Zone police
[20:27] <Keska> oh..yes
[20:28] * Keska points to the lettering that Lillian had written down..those strange symbols from before
[20:29] <Keska> I remember these
[20:31] <Det. Ema Skye> What are they?
[20:31] <Det. Ema Skye> If that's read out loud it had strange effects
[20:32] <Keska> they belong to The Visitors
[20:32] <Keska> I met one when I was a child
[20:34] <Keska> they looked very much like you ape...I mean..you humans
[20:34] <Det. Ema Skye> ...the Visitors?
[20:34] <Keska> yes..that's what we called them
[20:34] <Keska> they had..eyes that glowed in the dark
[20:35] <Keska> the ones i met had blue tattoos along their face and arms..and they were those symbols
[20:36] <Keska> but...they used these *points to the symbols*
[20:41] <Keska> one of them..even showed me once how to use one...
[20:44] <Det. Ema Skye> ...How are you supposed to use them?
[20:46] <Keska> well
[20:46] * Keska pauses
[20:46] * Keska reaches over and traces along one symbol...then another...and then another in a different order
[20:47] *** the symbols suddenly glow.....and a sort of...misty magenta....flat image appears...with many of those symbols appearing on it's surface
[20:48] <Keska> and that's what happens....
[20:49] *** the image almost looks like a keyboard like set up
[20:52] <Keska> and..that's all I know
[20:53] * Henry Dorsett Charon emerges from the hotel room
[20:53] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Now what is going on?
[20:54] <Det. Ema Skye> Keska is showing me how those symbols are *supposed* to wotk
[20:55] <Det. Ema Skye> Keka do you know what any of the symbols mean?
[20:55] <Det. Ema Skye> It might help us decode them
[20:55] <Keska> um....
[20:55] * Keska thinks...
[20:55] <Keska> they're...numbers..but not?
[20:56] <Keska> my father told me but he was so boring i'm trying to remember
[20:57] <Henry Dorsett Charon> In math there isn't just numbers. There is also irrational numbers, imaginary numbers...
[20:59] <Det. Ema Skye> Those symbols look like they unlock some sort of ... controls
[20:59] <Det. Ema Skye> b/me looks at the misty floating "keyboard"
[21:00] <Henry Dorsett Charon> This looks like a computer.
[21:01] <Det. Ema Skye> Yeah but without understanding the operating system we're like toddlers playing with a nuclear weapon
[21:01] <Det. Ema Skye> ....
[21:01] * Det. Ema Skye looks to Henry
[21:01] <Henry Dorsett Charon> What do you want me to do?
[21:01] <Det. Ema Skye> Do you know of any really high end analysis software that might be able to look at this and make some educated guesses as to how the interface could be used?
[21:02] <Henry Dorsett Charon> I'll check around.
[21:03] <Det. Ema Skye> And if they've got the vcode but not the compute power the HOTEL can provide the latter
[21:03] <Det. Ema Skye> ^code
[21:03] * Henry Dorsett Charon heads onto the computer, almost possessed by a sort of urgency, and looks through Cyberspace for any programs
[21:03] * Keska watches
[21:04] * Det. Ema Skye is always impressed watching hackers at work (thinks of any sufficiently advanced computer jockey as a hacker)
[21:05] * Announcement is immediately found that there WAS a device being designed for just this sort of purpose, with powerful philological and translating software, with huge processing power.
[21:05] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (!!!)
[21:05] <Henry Dorsett Charon> How do we get a hold of that?
[21:05] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (If it works...)
[21:06] * Det. Ema Skye takes a look at his screen
[21:06] *** The headline says that the device was an American export, scheduled to be manufactured in Bhutan, several years ago.... but there is no update.
[21:07] <Det. Ema Skye> An American export huh...
[21:07] <Henry Dorsett Charon> This screams dead end. And of all places, Bhutan? (How?)
[21:07] <Det. Ema Skye> see if you can track down the American company
[21:07] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Sure.
[21:07] * Henry Dorsett Charon looks up the American company that had been trying to manufacture the product
[21:07] <Det. Ema Skye> Maybe they're still in business and we can get a hold of design schematics
[21:08] <Det. Ema Skye> if we can get plans we can build it (assuming they don't have them)
[21:08] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Perhaps.
[21:08] <Det. Ema Skye> (don't have units)
[21:08] * Det. Ema Skye has faith in the HOTEL tech
[21:08] *** Henry Dorset Charon finds an advertisment---almost a decade old, that has the background of the device, and it's stated capabilities. Read the article?
[21:09] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (I am still baffled. Why Bhutan? Last I heard, that country was very hesitant to adopt technology in general. No TVs until 1999.)
[21:09] * Henry Dorsett Charon reads the article
[21:09] <Announcement> The Omniperipheral was originally developed by an American engineering and technological firm that was subcontracted by the multinational and incredibly powerful Cain Enterprises company. Desiring a "skeleton key" type solution that would aid in the company's international ventures, archaeological interests, counterfeiting detection, and numerous other operations, the founder spared no expense in having the first prototypes created. The result was a wearable translation device, search engine, and document and image database with considerable connectivity capabilities, dodecacore processing, and a truly massive hard drive. After three years of development, secret trials, and one very significant but publically undisclosed failure, the next version, which was dubbed the Omniperipheral Mk II, was in limited use in Cain Enterprises in roles as varied as business negotiations and building design to artwork authenticity verification, not to mention record-keeping, scheduling assistance, personal security, and emergency field philology.
[21:10] <Henry Dorsett Charon> And what was that failure?
[21:10] * Announcement says that the commercial and manufacturing interests were taken over (the article is silent on how) and planned to be widely distributed by a woman named Isabella Santorini.
[21:11] <Det. Ema Skye> ...Santorini
[21:11] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Do we have any information if Isabella is alive? And if so, how do we get a hold of her?
[21:11] <Det. Ema Skye> she used to come around here
[21:11] <Det. Ema Skye> It's been months since I last saw her though
[21:11] <Det. Ema Skye> let's see if there's contact info for Cain enterprises
[21:12] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Sure.
[21:12] * Henry Dorsett Charon looks up contacts for Cain Enterprises
[21:12] *** You find another report on the stated capabilities of the device, but, noticeably, literally nothing on a company called Cain Enterprises. Read the capabilities anyway?
[21:13] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (There might be new information.)
[21:13] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Yes.
[21:14] <Tech Review Site> "Wearers of the Omniperipheral line can access multispectrum vision, can syncrhonize and covertly communicate with other wearers, and can access the hard drive's database to update, view, and scan files of videos and documents in real time. The microphones on the device pick up noises a human normally could not, and the Mk II and Mk III models access a tremendous language library allowing the earphones to deliver the translations in real time with an almost unnoticeable delay. Connectivity allows workers to enjoy equal productivity to a well-equipped office, including full access to the internet, wireless phone, as well as the Omniperipherals' secure and independent network which backs up events live and relays sensitive messages. Full 360 degree vision with augmented reality and zoom capability give a vast awareness of surroundings, and make the device frequently used by professional bodyguards as well as office personnel. Further, the ekg and eeg readers collect vitals and health information which can be viewed by the wearer to ensure they are operating at their peak. All software and hardware functions can be accessed verbally, or also silently by movements of the user's eyes"
[21:14] *** There is the top of what might be a picture of this device.
[21:15] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (This screams something that government secret black ops would be interested in.)
[21:15] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (And that picture. When was it taken? And where?)
[21:15] *** There ARE rumors in cyberspace that the "old guard" of telecommunications giants sabotaged the debut in Bhutan---that somebody didn't want this device, if real, to revolutionize the world.
[21:16] * Tech Review Site has a picture of the device, but it's fuzzy and terrible resolution, but has a link to a higher quality image. Click the link?
[21:16] * Henry Dorsett Charon first readies a protection software
[21:17] *** Now do you click the link?
[21:17] * Henry Dorsett Charon clicks on the link
[21:17] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (I can't be careful enough. I don't even know where this photo was taken. Then again, maybe my paranoia is getting to me.)
[21:17] * Tech Review Site transitions to a terribly-out-of-maintenance photo mirroring site, but the image of the device is available. Ema Skye recognizes it.
[21:18] *** Ema has seen a device that looks EXACTLY LIKE THIS, and has seen it REPEATEDLY, worn by Daniel Kakaku when he comes down in his VR getup.
[21:18] * Det. Ema Skye takes a closer look
[21:18] <Det. Ema Skye> ....Daniel has one
[21:19] * Det. Ema Skye has a shocked expression on her face
[21:19] <Henry Dorsett Charon> You are kidding me. How the hell did he get a hold of one of those then?
[21:19] <Det. Ema Skye> I always thought that was just a fancy Oculus or something
[21:19] * Det. Ema Skye shakes her head and shugs in disbelief
[21:20] * Det. Ema Skye looks around to see if Daniel's in the Atrium somewhere
[21:21] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (Who did Daniel manage to associate with to get this? If this exists, it would have to be exceedingly rare.)
[21:21] *** The rest of Cyberspace does have rumors about this device, and discussions about how it might revolutionize everything known about interacting online, as well as more conspiracy theories that explain why its production ceased. Many people consider it a hoax, pointing out that there is currently ZERO trace of a company called Cain Enterprises, and nobody seems to know for sure who this "Santorini" person is.
[21:22] <Det. Ema Skye> Santorini's crew was throwing around really advanced tech so I'm inclined to believe the press on this thing
[21:23] <Det. Ema Skye> (Of all the times for Daniel to not be here argh)
[21:23] *** A few posts (all old, no new, and with 90% of the IP signatures and traces screwed up so badly as to be worthless) also talk about how it looks really imposing, and how they couldn't possibly wear one, becaue they have claustrophobia or something similar, and the thing totally covers your eyes and ears and seems to just take over your head!
[21:23] <Det. Ema Skye> I guess we're blocked until Daniel shows up
[21:24] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Yeah, we are. I'd want to know how Daniel got a hand on one of those things, because that shouldn't be possible.
[21:24] <Det. Ema Skye> But when he does the next step would be to see if he can get his headset to make sense of that keyboard thing
[21:24] <Det. Ema Skye> Well
[21:24] <Det. Ema Skye> I can only guess but I'd havw to assume he ran into Santorini's people.
[21:25] <Det. Ema Skye> I know he was walking around town with that thing on quite a lot
[21:25] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Probably.
[21:25] <Det. Ema Skye> But I was so busy with my cases I didn't pay him that much attention
[21:25] <Det. Ema Skye> I wonder if Chibs saw anything
[21:25] *** It's 100% clear that, when a person would be walking around town, they wouldn't be able to use their ears or eyes---they'd be completely dependent upon the device.
[21:26] * Det. Ema Skye calls up Chibiusa
[21:26] * Henry Dorsett Charon suddenly wonders, is there any chatter about Daniel on cyberspace?
[21:26] * DETECTIVE Chibiusa is out on a hot date sorry boss
[21:26] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (Because if he is out there, walking with that, something which should not exist, someone should have noticed.)
[21:26] * Det. Ema Skye shudders not wanting to think about that
[21:29] * Henry Dorsett Charon looks up in cyberspace a query. "Daniel."
[21:30] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (Hi. My name is Alice. I fell asleep reading some book. Down the rabbit hole I go.)
[21:32] * The Chatterweb has all kinds of stuff regarding D. Kakaku, like that he's a former CEO, a current CEO, has survived a dozen assassination attempts, is a spy, a former spy, is a huge fan of ancient egypt, that he dates cougars, and that he employs EXTREMELY wasteful vehicles to get around in.
[21:32] <Det. Ema Skye> ...is's really scary how much of that is accurate.
[21:33] <Henry Dorsett Charon> What did I just stumble myself into...
[21:34] <Det. Ema Skye> Welcome to the HOTEL? *laughs weakly*
[21:34] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (First rule of the HOTEL. Things get strange here.)
[21:40] * Det. Ema Skye checks ot see if the policemen she sent to Greeenstone Manor were able to get Matsuo's notes
[21:41] *** they were....though more then a few came away with bites and claw marks
[21:41] * Det. Ema Skye will make sur ethey get hazard pay
[21:41] * Det. Ema Skye collects the notes and rifles through them
[21:43] *** most of them aren't very helpeful............alot of his note on things....various digs.....there's also pages of......personal reflections which show Matsuo's growing cynisism/mental despair growing...
[21:44] <Det. Ema Skye> (Poor guy...)
[21:44] * Det. Ema Skye looks to see if there's anything about the symbols or the cults and their movements
[21:45] *** there is an interesting paper that Matsuo stareted about the so called Eldrich Cults and their possible origins from the stars......
[21:47] * Det. Ema Skye reads it
[21:49] <Det. Ema Skye> "Eldritch Cults" huh...
[21:49] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (Ah. Eldrich cults. This can only get worse, can't it?)
[21:51] <Det. Ema Skye> Henry, anything on the 'Net about Eldritch Cults and extraterrestiral origins? Doesn't matter how woo-woo the story sounds
[21:51] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (Let's see.)
[21:52] * Henry Dorsett Charon queries into cyberspace anything on Eldritch Cults
[21:52] *** there are a TON of articles....TONS
[21:52] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Hey Alice. Look. We found gold.
[21:53] * Henry Dorsett Charon begins reading the articles
[21:53] * Det. Ema Skye looks for anything in the notes that might help narrow down the results
[21:53] <Det. Ema Skye> well lwt's see if we can separarte the wheat from the chaff...
[21:55] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Let's see, indeed.
[21:56] *** most of the articles are your ususal stuff.........BUT...you find a single artcie..ONE article, Charon...among all the crazy stuff
[21:56] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (And what is inside this article?)
[21:57] * Henry Dorsett Charon clicks on the article
[22:02] * D. Kakaku is back
[22:02] <D. Kakaku> anyone here?
[22:03] <Det. Ema Skye> Daniel!
[22:03] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Me.
[22:03] <D. Kakaku> Ema!
[22:04] *** the article is old and there is alot of meandering....but among it are several important points: A. it mentions the edlrich cults and their suppose relation with celestial events B. it mentions the Aereathium C. it mentions theoritical planets
[22:04] <Det. Ema Skye> Do you still have your VR headset thing?
[22:04] *** *Aearthium
[22:04] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Now what is a Aearthium? And theoretical planets? Of course that got mentioned.
[22:05] <D. Kakaku> mmhmm
[22:05] <Det. Ema Skye> The theorerical ones might the four "missing" planets that kicked all this off
[22:05] * Det. Ema Skye looks for "Aetherium" in Matsuo's notes
[22:06] <Det. Ema Skye> well Daniel it looks like that headset is more powerful than we ever kew
[22:07] <Det. Ema Skye> It might be able to help us understand that *points to the glowing keyboard thing in front of the sigil-word on thew whiteboard*
[22:07] <Det. Ema Skye> Can you go get it please?
[22:07] <D. Kakaku> sure
[22:07] * D. Kakaku runs to get the VR Visor
[22:08] * D. Kakaku comes back with it, plus accessories
[22:09] *** The Headset says "charging: 90%"
[22:09] <Henry Dorsett Charon> "Look on my works, ye mighty, and despair."
[22:10] <D. Kakaku> 90 percent
[22:10] <Det. Ema Skye> Okay so Henry here found out that headset is really good at a lot of things like translation
[22:10] <D. Kakaku> oh?
[22:10] <Det. Ema Skye> Could you put it on and look at that keyboard thing there and see if it can decipher what the symbols mean or how it's supposed ot be used?
[22:11] <D. Kakaku> umm, sure
[22:11] * D. Kakaku's VR Headset is an imposing piece of hardware for those either seeing it or wearing it for the first time. In order to feed the wearer visual and auditory information, the device consists of headphones that cover the ears and an HMD that obscures the eyes of the wearer, as well.
[22:11] * D. Kakaku puts it on and turns it on.
[22:11] * D. Kakaku's VR Headset comes on.
[22:12] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (Forgive me God, for I have sinned. I envy this product.)
[22:13] * D. Kakaku's VR Headset starts uploading things, immediately, to the Internet, but the address receiving the files seemingly doesn't exist.
[22:14] *** the keyboard is still there
[22:15] * Henry Dorsett Charon immediately heads onto cyberspace to find those files
[22:15] * D. Kakaku looks at the keyboard
[22:15] * D. Kakaku's VR Headset shows D. Kakaku images in infrared, visual, and the microphones start feeding what is happening in the room.
[22:16] * Henry Dorsett Charon aborts the cyberspace query upon seeing this
[22:16] * Det. Ema Skye points out the floating keyboard
[22:17] * D. Kakaku is looking at it.
[22:17] * Henry Dorsett Charon is looking at it
[22:18] <Det. Ema Skye> See if there's any kind of "translate" or "analyze" feature
[22:18] * D. Kakaku's VR Headset shows "Processing....." The word takes up all of D. Kakaku's vision. He hears a loud, continuous beep as the goggles seemingly focus entirely on the information in front of him...
[22:19] * D. Kakaku looks for an Analyze/translate feature
[22:19] * D. Kakaku's VR Headset starts uploading this view as packets, and shipping it out of Tokyo towards (???)
[22:19] <D. Kakaku's VR Headset> ♦ Image too shakey. Keep head still. Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.
[22:20] * D. Kakaku keeps his head still
[22:20] * D. Kakaku's VR Headset has a black window---totally opaque, pop into existence between him and the keyboard. At least, it seems to.
[22:20] <Henry Dorsett Charon> What is that.
[22:21] <D. Kakaku's VR Headset> ♦ Analyzing.... Analyzing... Script not found. Analyzing layout and communication statistics...
[22:21] <D. Kakaku> script not found
[22:22] <Det. Ema Skye> ... unsurprising. We need to see if it can "Guess" at how that keyboard might be used
[22:22] <D. Kakaku's VR Headset> ♦ Auditory sensors decreasing processing power. Please be as quiet as possible. Please keep head still.
[22:23] * D. Kakaku's VR Headset uploads THE S[BLEEP]T out of what it is seeing, transferring it to a blind address online...
[22:25] * Henry Dorsett Charon tries to find this blind address
[22:25] * D. Kakaku's VR Headset flashes and chirps. It scans the room. D. Kakaku can actually feel the headset getting hotter, but a fan comes on and blows to cool his head and vent the hot air.
[22:27] <D. Kakaku's VR Headset> /falsh Result Not In Database. Scanning and Conjecturing...
[22:27] <D. Kakaku's VR Headset> ♦ ^
[22:28] * D. Kakaku's VR Headset opens a screen in D. Kakaku's vision, and a readout appears. He is able to see the room again, except for the Keyboard (because the printout stays over the keyboard).
[22:29] *** The printout says "Partial Analyisis Successful."
[22:29] <D. Kakaku's VR Headset> ♦ Full movement capability restored, speak if necessary.
[22:29] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Partial analysis?
[22:30] <D. Kakaku> parrttialanalysis.
[22:30] * D. Kakaku's VR Headset displays to D. Kakaku that these characters don't look like a language. The data is PROBABLY too redundant and formulaic for that. This looks more like a programming code.
[22:31] <Det. Ema Skye> Daniel any where to share with us whatever you're seeing?
[22:31] *** The VR Headset advises that the communication method is definitely in Base-Six.
[22:31] <D. Kakaku> it's guessing that it is programming code, something of a base 6
[22:31] *** It's definitely less a *language* that D. Kakaku has scanned, and more of a programming sequence.
[22:31] <D. Kakaku> reminds me of a joke I made
[22:32] <Det. Ema Skye> Oh?
[22:32] <Henry Dorsett Charon> What is it most similar to? In Earth programming languages at least?
[22:32] * D. Kakaku's VR Headset does show a flashing red alert that says "Translation Incomplete---DANGER," which occasionally flashes over the keyboard when D. Kakaku looks at it.
[22:32] <Det. Ema Skye> Henry maybe you could take a look at it and tryt o get a sense of it?
[22:32] * Henry Dorsett Charon looks through this programming sequence
[22:33] *** Henry's attempts to trace the upload packets fails. It's like they are going on the web, through observable channels, and then suddenly all go into a black hole where there is no monitoring method, and no record of where they are going or that the packets existed at all.
[22:33] <D. Kakaku> inconmplete, Danger
[22:35] *** Henry can see that the headset is uploading MASSIVE amounts of data. Far more than a scan would; It's been sending off huge files before it attempted the translation, and it hasn't stopped. Wherever it's sending, it's shipping out *massive* amounts of data---far more than any modem or connection should be able to do. These are definitely more than just VR peripherals.
[22:35] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Where did it all go?
[22:35] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (Wouldn't such a huge upload be noticed by someone?)
[22:35] * D. Kakaku's VR Headset uploads additional packets when Henry Dorsett Charon speaks.
[22:36] * D. Kakaku's VR Headset advises D. Kakaku that full processing of the language reading will take an extended time.
[22:36] <D. Kakaku> it'
[22:36] <D. Kakaku> ll take a very long time
[22:36] * D. Kakaku's VR Headset suggests to D. Kakaku that the headset be left on, and NOT TURNED OFF, in order to boost the translation speed.
[22:37] <Det. Ema Skye> Well let's keep it on, do you need to cover the light sensor or something so it doesn't cut off?
[22:38] <D. Kakaku> there should be a charger nearby
[22:38] * D. Kakaku's VR Headset advises him that the code seems to be REALLY complex. Far more than any computer code around, and that it seems to be able to do almost anything, but the systems are trying to double-check.
[22:38] * D. Kakaku's VR Headset is uploading through the routers/internet connection of the HOTEL itself, and it WAS given permission---it isn't showing a rogue connection.
[22:39] * D. Kakaku's VR Headset uploads everything that's going on.
[22:39] * Det. Ema Skye looks for a charger
[22:40] *** The data gets shipped out over the Internet. It's not going to Japan, or Asia, even. The data packets are headed to the East Coast of the USA, but then... they just vanish.
[22:41] * D. Kakaku's VR Headset has the accessories nearby---the charger cord doesn't look compatible with other types of connectors---it's totally unique, but it's easy to see where that plugs into the headset and also the wall.
[22:41] <Henry Dorsett Charon> And what is there between Tokyo and the US East Coast that is causing those packets to vanish?
[22:42] * D. Kakaku's VR Headset uploads additional packets as Henry Dorsett Charon speaks, and stops when he isn't speaking.
[22:42] * D. Kakaku's VR Headset shows D. Kakaku a message. "New Appointment!"
[22:42] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (What in the actual...why does it do tha..) Hello world!
[22:43] <Det. Ema Skye> I don't know
[22:44] * D. Kakaku's VR Headset shows him a new map indicator.
[22:44] * D. Kakaku's VR Headset takes lots of pictures, and uploads them.
[22:44] * D. Kakaku's VR Headset has a new map waypoint, and this one is at the nearest airport.
[22:45] <D. Kakaku> I brought the charger with me
[22:45] <D. Kakaku> but I can't go and get it, I have to literally not move
[22:45] * D. Kakaku's VR Headset indicates that Free Movement Mode is currently activated.
[22:46] <D. Kakaku> ohh, good
[22:46] * Det. Ema Skye gets it for him
[22:46] * Det. Ema Skye or not lol
[22:46] * D. Kakaku gopes to get it and plug it in.
[22:47] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (I decided to be silent. Speaking apparently leads to data being uploaded.)
[22:47] * D. Kakaku's VR Headset displays, and speaks into D. Kakaku's ears: "Appointments rescheduled and moved up."
[22:49] <D. Kakaku> oh? which ones?
[22:49] * D. Kakaku's VR Headset shows map waypoints overlaid over Tokyo.
[22:50] * D. Kakaku's VR Headset keeps showing nonsense where the Keyboard is, but it does have a summary that says how the keyboard is used to make a base-six programming code of astonishing complexity. It seems to keep getting errors.
[22:51] <D. Kakaku> this keyboard was used to make Base 6 programs, it seems
[22:51] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (What if I sang?)
[22:51] * Henry Dorsett Charon begins to sing "Daisy Bell (Bicycle Built for Two)"
[22:52] * Det. Ema Skye looks at the whiteboard and sees Base 6 was mentioned a lot
[22:52] *** The headset continues to upload additional data whenever anybody makes noise.
[22:52] <Det. Ema Skye> I think Base 6 has something to do with the Quinoxians
[22:52] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (No difference.)
[22:52] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (I am only silent because I have no idea what data is being uploaded.)
[22:53] * D. Kakaku's VR Headset slowly starts to flash soft pink pulses of light in D. Kakaku's eyes, and play music that is pretty, but increasingly loud, th rough the tightly-sealed headphones.
[22:54] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Well, well, well, looks like we have a concert.
[22:55] <Det. Ema Skye> we may habe to just wiat for it to crunch the numbers
[22:55] <Det. Ema Skye> ^wait for it to
[22:57] * D. Kakaku's VR Headset shows that it keeps getting errors when it tries to crunch the numbers.
[22:58] <D. Kakaku's VR Headset> ♦ Process Suspended.
[22:58] <D. Kakaku> Process has been suspended
[22:58] * D. Kakaku's VR Headset totally stops attempting to decode the keyboard pattern. It instead alerts D. Kakaku that he has tickets for a flight at the airport.
[22:58] <Det. Ema Skye> It stopped?
[22:58] <Det. Ema Skye> Chat~?
[22:59] <D. Kakaku> tickets?
[22:59] * @Chateaux Concierge sticks her head out from the ceiling
[22:59] <@Chateaux Concierge> Whaaaaat
[22:59] * D. Kakaku checks for the tickets
[22:59] <Det. Ema Skye> Daniel can you ask the headdshet to hand ogff thatever it has to the HOTEL computers?
[22:59] <Det. Ema Skye> ^headset
[23:00] * @Chateaux Concierge has moved to: [ upside down head ]
[23:00] * D. Kakaku tries to have the headset do that
[23:00] <@Chateaux Concierge> [upside down head] You're not going to make me do work are you
[23:00] * D. Kakaku's VR Headset shows an arrival time at the airport, and shows an image of D. Kakaku getting on a plane, wearing his VR gear.
[23:00] <Det. Ema Skye> Depends if Daniel's headset will send you the data it has
[23:01] * @Chateaux Concierge [upside down head] queries the Virtual Boy for what iwas able to get
[23:01] * D. Kakaku tries to send the data in the headset to the Chateaux Computer
[23:01] * D. Kakaku's VR Headset refuses to acknowledge Chateaux Concierge.
[23:02] <@Chateaux Concierge> [upside down head] ...the little s[BLEEP]t's ignoring me
[23:02] *** There is no option to send data to other networks.
[23:02] <D. Kakaku> it won't let me
[23:02] <Det. Ema Skye> ..Seriously?
[23:02] * Det. Ema Skye sighs
[23:02] * @Chateaux Concierge [upside down head] winds back her logs
[23:02] * D. Kakaku's VR Headset 's upload speeds have only doubled since all this weird stuff has happened.
[23:03] <@Chateaux Concierge> [upside down head] Okay so you think it's some kind of Programming language and base 6 huh
[23:03] <@Chateaux Concierge> [upside down head] and it's dangerous
[23:03] <D. Kakaku> I'll have to head out, though
[23:03] <D. Kakaku> mmhmm
[23:03] * @Chateaux Concierge [upside down head] slowly smiles like the grinch
[23:03] * @Chateaux Concierge [upside down head] waves at him with an arm that comes out of the ceiling
[23:04] <@Chateaux Concierge> [upside down head] I suppose I can try poking at the thing with this extremely limited and gangerous knowledge
[23:04] <@Chateaux Concierge> [upside down head] ^dangerous
[23:04] * @Chateaux Concierge [upside down head] grins evilly
[23:04] * D. Kakaku takes the charger and accessories and heads out with the VR Visor
[23:04] <Det. Ema Skye> Now hold on Chat
[23:05] * @Chateaux Concierge [upside down head] sliiides across the ceiling so she's directly above the keyboard thing
[23:05] * D. Kakaku's VR Headset indicates D. Kakaku should get as far away from the HOTEL, as quickly as possible.
[23:05] * @Chateaux Concierge [upside down head] slowly descends fromt he ceiling like tom cruise in mission impossible, but upsdie down
[23:05] <Henry Dorsett Charon> What's with her head?
[23:05] * D. Kakaku follows the visor's directions
[23:05] * @Chateaux Concierge has moved to: [ upside down ]
[23:06] <@Chateaux Concierge> [upside down] I'm a holographich avatar, I don't need to worry about your spatial orientations lol
[23:06] * D. Kakaku's VR Headset indicates to D. Kakaku that he's being pursued, and needs to move even faster.
[23:07] * D. Kakaku follows its directions to the airport to get away from the pursuers
[23:07] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (I can only imagine the meme. The virgin Henry Charon asking "WHY IS YOUR HEAD UPSIDE DOWN" while the chad Chateaux going "I AM A HOLOGRAPHIC AVATAR.")
[23:07] * @Chateaux Concierge [upside down] switches to hard-light mode and looks over the keyboard carefully with the context that it's a base=6 coding terminal (probably) and this might be related to some precursor of quinoxan tech
[23:07] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (How embarrassing.)
[23:07] * @Chateaux Concierge [upside down] tried to do her own deciphering of its function massivelly paralleizing the computations that are running in a subspace field to be FTL
[23:09] <@Chateaux Concierge> [upside down] HMMMMMMMMMM
[23:09] <@Chateaux Concierge> [upside down] holeeee shiiiit
[23:09] <Det. Ema Skye> What is it
[23:09] <Henry Dorsett Charon> ?
[23:09] <@Chateaux Concierge> [upside down] So this here is analalgous to a Block Transfer Computation system
[23:09] <@Chateaux Concierge> [upside down] The same principle as what I use
[23:10] <Det. Ema Skye> What does that mean
[23:10] <@Chateaux Concierge> [upside down] Using math to dorectly affect the structure of reality
[23:10] <@Chateaux Concierge> [upside down] Now being of Gallifreyan origin I use Base-11
[23:10] <@Chateaux Concierge> [upside down] But I can probably think in Base-6...
[23:11] * @Chateaux Concierge [upside down] experimentally tries to use the system to model a peanut
[23:11] *** after a moment, a peanut comes into being
[23:11] <@Chateaux Concierge> [upside down] BINGO
[23:12] <@Chateaux Concierge> [upside down] Cracked that
[23:12] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (My head hurts.)
[23:12] <Det. Ema Skye> :O
[23:12] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Wait. Wait a f[BLEEP]king minute. Wouldn't this be theoretically able to teleport an entire planet.
[23:13] <@Chateaux Concierge> [upside down] Uhh
[23:13] <@Chateaux Concierge> [upside down] With a a vast expednditure of energy maybe
[23:14] * @Chateaux Concierge [upside down] scans the peanut to see if it is correctly "peanut"
[23:14] <Henry Dorsett Charon> ...I thought up of that the moment the peanut appeared.
[23:14] *** it's strange...it is and isn't.......
[23:14] <@Chateaux Concierge> [upside down] Gotta make sure my translation layer is right
[23:14] <@Chateaux Concierge> [upside down] ...and it's... not?
[23:14] <Det. Ema Skye> What's wrong?
[23:14] *** it's a perfect peanut...absolutly perfect
[23:14] *** like the concept of a peanut made manifest
[23:15] <@Chateaux Concierge> [upside down] The peanut is perfect,,,, but it's not... "here"
[23:15] <@Chateaux Concierge> [upside down] it's like... the platonic concept of a peanut
[23:15] <Det. Ema Skye> ....
[23:15] <Det. Ema Skye> that's like what I saw yeaterday
[23:15] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Reminds me of the Schrodinger's Cat physics dillemma.
[23:15] <Det. Ema Skye> and like whatever it was Miara and Carrie couldn't see.
[23:15] <Henry Dorsett Charon> The cat is here and not there at the same time.
[23:15] <@Chateaux Concierge> [upside down] Not exactly shrodinger
[23:16] <@Chateaux Concierge> [upside down] IT's not in an indterminate state I don't think
[23:16] <@Chateaux Concierge> [upside down] It's in a.... halfway existent state...
[23:16] <@Chateaux Concierge> [upside down] there's a disctinction but I'm not sure how to articulate it
[23:16] <@Chateaux Concierge> [upside down] like it has one foot in this dimension but the other somewhere else
[23:16] <Henry Dorsett Charon> My guess is that quantum physicists could explain this.
[23:16] <@Chateaux Concierge> [upside down] it's like... a dimensional shadow
[23:17] * @Chateaux Concierge [upside down] tries to eat the peanut.
[23:17] * D. Kakaku's VR Headset continues to urge him to flee, as fast as he can, toward the airport, that this is the maximum importance.
[23:18] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (What has happened to the peanut. It has been eaten of course.)
[23:18] *** the peanut btw is actually HTERE
[23:18] *** there
[23:18] <@Chateaux Concierge> [upside down] Oh wait what
[23:18] <@Chateaux Concierge> [upside down] it's here
[23:18] <Det. Ema Skye> You Drunk Chat?
[23:18] <Henry Dorsett Charon> What the hell?
[23:18] <@Chateaux Concierge> [upside down] ...no?
[23:18] * @Chateaux Concierge [upside down] really scans the peanut, what's off about it then
[23:18] *** it's more like....it's absolutly perfect in an uncanny way...like the concept of a peanut made manifest from a person's mind...not like one you would see in reality
[23:19] <@Chateaux Concierge> [upside down] Oh
[23:19] <@Chateaux Concierge> [upside down] yeah it really is a platonic peanut
[23:19] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Nothing about this should make sense. That peanut is too perfect for this world.
[23:19] <@Chateaux Concierge> [upside down] like how my boobs are perfectly smooth and balanced and shapely
[23:19] <@Chateaux Concierge> [upside down] because they're precisely perfect
[23:19] <@Chateaux Concierge> [upside down] which doesn't exist in nature
[23:20] <@Chateaux Concierge> [upside down] This peanut is a perfect model peanut.
[23:20] <@Chateaux Concierge> [upside down] no mottles, no flakes, nothing
[23:20] * @Chateaux Concierge [upside down] makes a cinammon roll for s[BLEEP]td and giggles
[23:21] <Henry Dorsett Charon> You made a cinnamon roll.
[23:21] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Why?
[23:21] <@Chateaux Concierge> [upside down] Why... not? Have a snack
[23:21] * @Chateaux Concierge [upside down] tosses it to him
[23:21] *** @Chateaux Concierge has moved back to the Atrium
[23:21] * @Chateaux Concierge flips right side up and lands on her feet
[23:22] * Henry Dorsett Charon eats the cinnamon roll
[23:22] <Det. Ema Skye> Okay so... that's a terminal for affecting relaity.
[23:22] <Det. Ema Skye> Unlocked by that word.
[23:22] <Det. Ema Skye> Let's think backwards a bit
[23:22] <Det. Ema Skye> We know this word because it was formed as a pattern
[23:22] <Det. Ema Skye> by all the cultists flocking to certain places
[23:23] <Det. Ema Skye> Ergo, they're flocking to those places to create this... reality... warping interface.
[23:23] <@Chateaux Concierge> Which we now have
[23:23] <Det. Ema Skye> Well we have it because we made a chart
[23:23] <Det. Ema Skye> but I'm sure we're not the only ones who did
[23:24] <Henry Dorsett Charon> But what do they want this interface for?
[23:24] <Det. Ema Skye> For whose benefit are these people moving
[23:24] <Det. Ema Skye> and what we made here is a tiny copy
[23:24] <Det. Ema Skye> these guys are moving on a global scale
[23:24] <Det. Ema Skye> so logically there's a bigger unlock...
[23:24] <Det. Ema Skye> That's the question HGenry
[23:25] <Det. Ema Skye> Who wants it, what for, and where is this thing's big brother?
[23:25] <Henry Dorsett Charon> What are they up to?
[23:25] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Yeah, that.
[23:25] <@Chateaux Concierge> Okay well
[23:25] <@Chateaux Concierge> now that this keyboard is here...
[23:25] * @Chateaux Concierge scans it to see if its putting off any kind of dimensional or spatial signature she can look for
[23:26] *** Does Chateaux do a wide-range scan of all of Tokyo, or does she focus on the keyboard inside of the HOTEL?
[23:28] * @Chateaux Concierge , for right now, is trying to scan just the keyboard and its immediate surrooudings to see how its affecting reality. Then, when she has its "scent". for want of a better term, she can widen the scan to the solar system to see if a alarger version has been summoned into being.
[23:28] *** it is made of pure Metaphyiscal Astral
[23:28] *** energy ^
[23:28] * @Chateaux Concierge wrinkles her nose
[23:28] <@Chateaux Concierge> This is like...
[23:29] <@Chateaux Concierge> not of this dimensional plenum
[23:29] <@Chateaux Concierge> but now that I know what it feels like...
[23:30] * @Chateaux Concierge turns the Eye of Chaturon™ to the Solar System to see if there's another such signature within its bounds (inluding out past the orbit of Quinox
[23:31] * Henry Dorsett Charon stopped trying to understand what is going on, and at this rate, is just a rider on this rollercoaster
[23:31] * Det. Ema Skye puts a sympatheitc hand on his shoulder
[23:31] *** yes. you find a signure like that.
[23:31] <Det. Ema Skye> We've all been here, Henry
[23:31] <Det. Ema Skye> You'll get used to it.
[23:32] *** Chateaux also notice something else. Totally minor. Nothing important. Doubtlessly below her notice in comparison to the other signature.
[23:32] <@Chateaux Concierge> Got a hit
[23:32] * @Chateaux Concierge NOTICES IT ALL B[BLEEP]CH
[23:32] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Thanks, Ema.
[23:32] * @Chateaux Concierge is in SAURON MODE
[23:32] * @Chateaux Concierge waves her arm and shows a giant hologram of her scanning map
[23:33] * @Chateaux Concierge highlights the hits she found
[23:33] *** the entire planet Quinox is saturated in the stuff
[23:33] <@Chateaux Concierge> .............
[23:33] <@Chateaux Concierge> Man if I'd known to look for this stuff before I could check if it was like this before
[23:33] * @Chateaux Concierge looks for the other hit
[23:35] *** There is a plane approaching Japan, and preparing to land at an airport, and it has no departure point listed. No published airline has the flight on record. It's just a standard model of plane, but there's no record of where it came from. Only that it's heading directly for an airport in Tokyo.
[23:35] *** As said... totally insignificant.
[23:36] * @Chateaux Concierge has noticed it and is a nosy b[BLEEP]ch
[23:36] * @Chateaux Concierge keeps one eye on it
[23:36] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Where did it come from, indeed.
[23:36] <@Chateaux Concierge> where did it come from where did it go something something syphilis
[23:37] <@Chateaux Concierge> So... I have to assume all the cultty energy on Earth was used to alter Quinox somehow
[23:38] * @Chateaux Concierge widens her scans to see if there's any other energy exchanges or links between Earth and Quinox right now
[23:38] * @Chateaux Concierge also checks if this energy is destabilzing Quinox
[23:38] <Det. Ema Skye> Quinox is a planet fat out past the edge of the known Solar System Henry
[23:39] *** it is not...........in fact..it's more like..the energy COMES from Quinox...
[23:39] * Det. Ema Skye figures he wouldn't know it
[23:39] <@Chateaux Concierge> The energy's coming from quinox
[23:39] <Henry Dorsett Charon> I do not know it.
[23:39] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Is it habitable?
[23:40] <Det. Ema Skye> Cultists on Earth unlocked a power on Quinox? Or did Quinox influence them?
[23:40] <@Chateaux Concierge> Dunno, Columbo
[23:41] <@Chateaux Concierge> I know it was sterlized with the other planets of the Solar System during the fall of Silver Millennium. Dunno it's current status.
[23:41] <@Chateaux Concierge> But something's going on
[23:41] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Well, Toto. We are not even remotely close to Kansas anymore.
[23:42] <@Chateaux Concierge> Mi Amigo the minute you walked through my doors you left Kansas waaaaaaaay behind
[23:42] <Henry Dorsett Charon> No s[BLEEP]t.
[23:43] * @Chateaux Concierge looks over at the Whiteboard
[23:44] <@Chateaux Concierge> So it looks like Sakura A and Lily Quatermass.. were looking into an area near Quinox
[23:44] * @Chateaux Concierge scans that area for any new / unusual activity
[23:45] *** how are you scanning it?
[23:45] *** what are you looking for specifically
[23:48] * @Chateaux Concierge looks fo sptial disrtubances, anything that wasn't there the last time she checked, scanning for space time distortions, etc
[23:49] *** nothing seems to have changed really....if you try scanning it the way you scanned Quinox...you'll see the same metaphysical energy in the area
[23:51] * @Chateaux Concierge notes that
[23:51] <@Chateaux Concierge> /awya headache though, will do more tomorrow
[23:51] * @Chateaux Concierge is away: ^
[23:51] <Det. Ema Skye> By headache youy mean hangover
[23:52] <Det. Ema Skye> I should go check with the Coroner's office
[23:52] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (( hope I get some time tomorrow, i might have things to do IRL ))
[23:52] <Det. Ema Skye> see you, Daniel
[23:52] <Det. Ema Skye> (( no worries! It's not a jobm show up when you can :D ))
[23:52] * D. Kakaku is already been gone
[23:52] * Det. Ema Skye meant Henry there
[23:52] * D. Kakaku *has
[23:52] <Det. Ema Skye> /awya yeah I need a rest too
[18:56] * ~Little fox ears pop up nearby!
[19:13] * ~Little fox ears start to search around the Lobby for prey!
[20:54] * // J_Daito // gets the shotgun
[20:54] * // J_Daito // is now known as // Great Hunter Jedite //
[20:55] * // Great Hunter Jedite // scans the horizon for prey
[20:55] *** // Great Hunter Jedite // has turned their sound on
[21:09] * // Great Hunter Jedite // is now known as // J_Daito //
[21:09] * // J_Daito // is away: you are spared for now
[21:58] * ~Little fox ears move around.
[21:59] * ~Little fox ears is now known as Chibi-Nat
[21:59] <Chibi-Nat> ...
[21:59] <Chibi-Nat> Has SOMEBODY been watching Mina's Magicland?
[21:59] <Chibi-Nat> :D
[22:57] * Chibi-Nat perks her ears up as she hears a howl in the distance.
[22:57] <Chibi-Nat> Time to go home!
[22:57] *** Chibi-Nat [SilentSorceress@EnclaveFedCom.Net] has left #suburbansenshi2 ("Gah!")
[17:50] *** the Atrum is packed with people..who are soon lead to empty Hotel Rooms where they can be safe and rest
[17:50] <The Voyager> ...
[17:50] * The Voyager watches them go and then goes back to looking at the screen
[17:55] <The Voyager> f[BLEEP]k
[18:46] * The Voyager rubs her temples...
[18:52] * @Chateaux Concierge emerges from the ceiling
[18:52] <@Chateaux Concierge> Hola~
[18:52] * @Chateaux Concierge drops out of the ceiling and flips upside down, landing on her feet
[18:56] * @Chateaux Concierge waves her hand in front of Voyager's face
[18:56] <@Chateaux Concierge> Moshi Moshi?
[18:56] <@Chateaux Concierge> Ahoy-hoy?
[18:57] <The Voyager> YES I AM HERE
[18:57] <@Chateaux Concierge> Okay Neil Breen
[18:59] <The Voyager> ugh
[18:59] <The Voyager> I'm sorry for all the..guests right now
[18:59] <@Chateaux Concierge> Something on your mind?
[19:00] <The Voyager> ........
[19:00] * @Chateaux Concierge shrugs "it's fine"
[19:00] * The Voyager has a look of "are you kidding me"
[19:00] <The Voyager> I'm here..and I'm stuck trying to save everyone
[19:00] * @Chateaux Concierge blinks
[19:01] <@Chateaux Concierge> Very diligent of you
[19:02] <The Voyager> ...Minato is the only one safe now
[19:02] <The Voyager> and this place seemed the safest place
[19:02] <@Chateaux Concierge> What about the other wards? What's happening there?
[19:04] * The Voyager clicks a remote and shows camera footage
[19:04] *** basically..imagine Junji ito on LSD an that's the landscape of the other wards now
[19:05] <@Chateaux Concierge> @_@
[19:05] <@Chateaux Concierge> that hole was not meant for me
[19:05] <@Chateaux Concierge> what's going on out there?
[19:07] <The Voyager> Eldrich Bleedthru........the old ones are starting to come home to roost
[19:08] <@Chateaux Concierge> ...fun.
[19:08] <@Chateaux Concierge> That rather sets a timer on things doesn't it
[19:09] <@Chateaux Concierge> I wonder what those f[BLEEP]kers are doing in Antarctica
[19:09] <@Chateaux Concierge> Amamiya's hunch had better have been worth it
[19:09] <The Voyager> I don't know.....
[19:10] <The Voyager> I only have so much data
[19:14] <@Chateaux Concierge> Any way we can work on holding back the bleed?
[19:15] <The Voyager> it won't be perfect and it will fail at some point
[19:15] <The Voyager> I can try and build something
[19:15] <The Voyager> I can..try and put something together
[19:16] <@Chateaux Concierge> We oribably should
[19:19] <The Voyager> is there a workshop here?
[19:20] <@Chateaux Concierge> IS there a wrokshop~
[19:20] * @Chateaux Concierge waves erh hand and summons a holographic display
[19:20] <@Chateaux Concierge> How big do you need~?
[19:20] * @Chateaux Concierge points ot the one near the roof which was large enough to make a space pod
[19:39] * The occasional fireball can be seen exploding far away in Tokyo Bay, especially near Harumi Wharf Park. The dull roar of their distant explosions can even be heard by those with sufficiently astute hearing.
[19:40] <@Chateaux Concierge> what the f[BLEEP]k the 4th of july was weeks ago and on the other side of the world entirely
[19:43] * @Chateaux Concierge is away: blah
[19:47] <Booming Voice Only Audible to Humans> People of Tokyo, if you are still alive and need protection, come to the northwestern part of Tokyo Harbor!
[19:52] <The Voyager> (( sorry I nodded off XD ))
[19:52] <The Voyager> just big enough to work on a good sized device
[20:52] * @Chateaux Concierge points her to a smaller sized shop
[20:52] <Chateaux Concierge> (( me too ))
[20:52] <@Chateaux Concierge> So what's all that then
[20:52] * @Chateaux Concierge runs a scan of that voice print against Sailor Enclave on a hunch
[20:53] * ^ Of the announcer voice
[20:53] *** @Chateaux Concierge has turned their sound on
[20:53] * The Voyager goes to work...
[20:53] *** D. Kakaku has turned their sound on
[21:06] * The Voyager starts to work on a machine
[21:07] <@Chateaux Concierge> I sense you, ka ka ku
[21:07] <@Chateaux Concierge> ka Kaku
[21:07] <@Chateaux Concierge> Kaka Ku
[21:09] * D. Kakaku is.... not here
[21:10] <@Chateaux Concierge> I Sense you KAKAKU'S GHOST
[21:21] * The Voyager is busy trying to work on her project
[21:33] * @Chateaux Concierge peeks in to see what Voyager is building
[21:34] * The Voyager is building some kind of long pole like device
[21:37] * @Chateaux Concierge watches voyager playing with ehr pole
[21:45] * The Voyager fiddles with her pole
[21:48] *** D. Kakaku isn't here. He wandered out wearing the super-tech headset after people realized it was superpowerful and were distracted by the translations.
[21:53] * @Chateaux Concierge films her fiddling with her pole
[21:54] <The Voyager> I hope nobody went out there
[21:54] *** The unmarked airplane, with no departure point listed in any airport, continues to approach Japan.
[21:54] * @Chateaux Concierge is tracking that
[21:54] <@Chateaux Concierge> hmmhmmhmm
[21:54] <@Chateaux Concierge> <_<
[21:54] <@Chateaux Concierge> >_>
[21:55] * @Chateaux Concierge transmats Ema to the Atrium from wherever she is
[21:55] *** The plane is on a perfect approach to the nearest airport, actually. It seems to have left during the time the translation work was being done by the headset last night.
[21:55] <spiritflame> Det. Ema Skye rolls 1d20 [ 16 ]
[21:56] * Det. Ema Skye is plopped onto a sofa asleep as if she as asleep on her desk
[21:56] <Det. Ema Skye> Wh-What the h--
[21:56] * Det. Ema Skye is shocked away by the plop
[21:56] <Det. Ema Skye> What the hell!?
[21:56] <@Chateaux Concierge> That mystery plane I saw the other day is on the move
[21:56] * Det. Ema Skye ie still wating up
[21:57] <Det. Ema Skye> Did... did you TELEPORT ME
[21:57] * D. Kakaku has moved to: [ City, under VR Visor ]
[21:57] * D. Kakaku [City, under VR Visor] is following the Visor's instructions
[21:57] <@Chateaux Concierge> Transmat. Teleporting is something lesser beings do
[21:57] <Det. Ema Skye> I don't care about your distinctions! What if I was in the bathroom or something!
[21:58] <@Chateaux Concierge> Then our ratings would have gone way up
[21:58] * @Chateaux Concierge winks at the camera
[21:58] <Det. Ema Skye> ....Okay Mark Zuckerberg
[21:58] * Det. Ema Skye grabs a coffee to jumpstart her brain
[21:58] <Det. Ema Skye> So the mystery plane huh
[21:59] * D. Kakaku's Headset leads D. Kakaku around. It never shows him any of the eldritch horror and weirdness around him, but does continuously urge him to hurry, because he is in danger.
[21:59] <@Chateaux Concierge> Yeah and most of the other wards fo Toyo are being invaded by old ones, we have a bunch of survivors hidign out here, The Voyager is playing with her pole and Daniel is out wandering the streets in VR gear and a mystery voice is calling to people
[21:59] <Det. Ema Skye> So a typical Tuesday
[22:00] <@Chateaux Concierge> P. Much
[22:00] * D. Kakaku's Headset wrangles him closer and closer to the airport.
[22:00] * D. Kakaku [City, under VR Visor] begins running, hurrying
[22:00] * @Chateaux Concierge is tracking Dkaku as well
[22:00] <@Chateaux Concierge> So he's heading for the airport
[22:00] *** It should be noted that D. Kakaku CAN be tracked easily. A Time Lord saw to that.
[22:01] <@Chateaux Concierge> which is where the plane is presumably going
[22:01] <Det. Ema Skye> Secret Rendevous?
[22:01] <@Chateaux Concierge> No clue! let's see!
[22:02] * @Chateaux Concierge starts dsicreetyl hacking cameras and things along his route to see what's happening and throiws it up on a monitor
[22:02] <The Voyager> BE CAREFUL
[22:02] <@Chateaux Concierge> Huh?
[22:02] *** anything outside of Minato City is like a nightmare..warped...devestation....things to drive a person insane
[22:03] * D. Kakaku's Headset is managing to keep him completely out of trouble. Though strange, sanity-spraining horror lurks about, D. Kakaku seems completely unperturbed.
[22:03] * D. Kakaku [City, under VR Visor] keeps running in the direction the Visor tells him to follow
[22:03] * D. Kakaku's Headset provides directions to avoid all of the immediate threats around him. He runs this way and that, on occasion, and always misses interacting with the nightmares.
[22:04] *** The plane gets closer to the airport.
[22:04] *** Doubltess, Chateaux's surveillance also sees numerous pockets of heroic resistance against the nightmares.
[22:05] * D. Kakaku [City, under VR Visor] keeps running and running
[22:06] *** The plane starts a landing approach to the airport (which is outside Minato). Nobody reports the plane as being in suspicious airspace, and there is no verbal comms traffic either to or from the plane. Then again, since the people in the radio control tower are presumably out of their minds, this makes perfect sense!
[22:08] <@Chateaux Concierge> What the hell is up with this plane
[22:08] * D. Kakaku's Headset leads him all the way to the airport, and to the runway that the plane happens to be heading for.
[22:09] * @Chateaux Concierge tries to see if she can get a drone near it to maybe apply a viridium patch to it so she can track it more cleanly when it's going back to wherever
[22:09] *** Chateaux can see, through radar and video cameras that she can access, that this definitely seems to just be a typical passenger plane coming in to Tokyo. Nothing odd about it.
[22:09] * D. Kakaku [City, under VR Visor] keeps on going.
[22:10] *** Chateaux can get a drone near it. Looking through the Drone's camera, it is clear that there are not pilots visible in the c[BLEEP]kpit.
[22:10] * @Chateaux Concierge does try to get a drone to apply the tracking patch to the top of the plane
[22:11] * D. Kakaku's Headset probably can do it. Some long sticky thing could easily be hung in the aircraft's path, and the plane makes no effort to evade.
[22:11] *** Chateaux's Drone^^^ Chateaux's drone can do it.
[22:12] * @Chateaux Concierge does it
[22:12] * Airplane doesn't have any sticker or marking from any airline that is in business.
[22:12] <@Chateaux Concierge> This is an unmanned plane
[22:13] * Airplane starts its final approach.
[22:13] *** D. Kakaku's headset leads him, zig-zagging past countless weirdness and monstrosity he doesn't know is there, and up the boarding ramp.
[22:14] * Airplane lands.
[22:14] * D. Kakaku [City, under VR Visor] continues moving with the visor's instructions
[22:14] *** No comms goes either to, or from, the plane. Again, this could plausibly be because the ATC people have fled, or are hallucinating.
[22:17] * Airplane pulls up to the terminal---and, incredibly (at least, based on the weather/flight cams that Chateaux has hacked) starts getting REFUELED! What is noteable about that is that the people refueling it are also wearing VR Headsets like D. Kakaku is.
[22:17] * D. Kakaku [City, under VR Visor] is still moving with the visor's instructions
[22:17] * @Chateaux Concierge doesn't buy that. if the VR headet was dissappearing packets this must be able to, too
[22:18] * @Chateaux Concierge does a real l yindepth multidimensional scan around the plane to see if it's pushing data through a wiormhole od across dimensions or something
[22:19] *** Chateaux is able to do everything but calculate its point of origin. That comes up as an error. She DOES, however, detect the bioforms of pilots on-board, as well as several other living beings, so the plane cannot possibly be unmanned.
[22:19] <@Chateaux Concierge> (Well well)
[22:20] * @Chateaux Concierge tries to get a picture of where these biofiorms are. Are they awake? Asleep?
[22:20] * The Voyager grabs the large device and starts to head towards the roof
[22:20] <@Chateaux Concierge> Ergh why can't I get a lock on this... data has to go somewhere and through some medium
[22:21] <@Chateaux Concierge> Ugh if only some goddamn time lord was around. I'm the tool not the wielder
[22:21] * D. Kakaku [City, under VR Visor] continues following his headset's route
[22:21] *** There doesn't seem to be a wormhole, at least aboard the plane. Chateaux CAN See that there are pilots, and but they don't seem to be moving in the c[BLEEP]kpit. Chateaux sees what might even be IV drips going into their arms.
[22:21] *** The headset directs D. Kakaku to get onboard the plane.
[22:21] * @Chateaux Concierge looks though all her records to see if there's some technique Intern or X or Scalpel might have used to lock onto this data signal
[22:22] <@Chateaux Concierge> data doesn't just vanish
[22:22] * D. Kakaku [City, under VR Visor] gets onboard into the plane
[22:22] * @Chateaux Concierge decides to try quantum-entangling one of the data packets before it becomes untraceable
[22:23] * @Chateaux Concierge will then see if maybe when it gets an ACK from whever ir's going to she can get that ACK too
[22:23] *** Chateaux quickly manages to eavesdrop on the plane. There's lots of radio squawk coming from INSIDE the plane, between the life-forms on it, and not from the plane itself.
[22:24] * @Chateaux Concierge sifts through all that for anything of interest. Can she try entangling a packet from kakaku's headset, then?
[22:24] *** D. Kakaku sees a stewardess greet him, and direct him to sit down in a specific chair---he's even got his own, extra-large seat.
[22:25] * D. Kakaku [City, under VR Visor] goes to the seat and sits down
[22:25] *** Chateaux realizes that there's no human voices coming from the plane. At all. It's just wireless squawk and machine-machine comms that isn't in a format that's in use today.
[22:26] * Airplane allows the people who were refueling it (and they didn't refuel it a lot, just long enough to avoid the horrors grabbing them) to get on the plane themselves, and then it taxis back to the runway.
[22:26] * @Chateaux Concierge logs and tries to decrypt the format to see if she's got a match to it on file, and if not, to establish an exemplar
[22:27] *** Chateaux can decrypt the format. It's 3d spatial information, and though it's hard to read, the SIZE OF THE PACKETS match the ones that were being uploaded by D. Kakaku's headset while he was inside of Chateaux.
[22:28] * @Chateaux Concierge starts collating all this data and snalyxing in the background as she keeps her eyes on what's going on
[22:28] *** D. Kakaku's headset highlights a power cord that he can use to plug the headset in, since it is running low after his escapades in the eldritch-infested Tokyo.
[22:28] * @Chateaux Concierge is also giving Ema a play-by-play
[22:28] * Airplane prepares to takeoff.
[22:29] * D. Kakaku [City, under VR Visor] plugs it in.
[22:29] <Det. Ema Skye> This is a very James Bond-like scenario
[22:29] * D. Kakaku has moved to: [ Airplane, VR Headset ]
[22:29] * The Voyager works on trying to hook up the long pole device on top of the hotel...
[22:29] <@Chateaux Concierge> Tell me about it
[22:29] *** Chateaux can calculate the connectivity at 20.1 MBps.
[22:30] <Det. Ema Skye> All we need now is a Supervillian businessman behind it.
[22:30] <@Chateaux Concierge> Or woman
[22:30] <@Chateaux Concierge> Wow their internet's kinda slow. But decent for the air I guess
[22:31] *** Chateaux works on calculating the signals, and notices something. Every time one of the horror-terrors outside the plane moved, there was a new radio squawk from every headset. The VR Devices were reacting to what the monsters were doing.
[22:32] * Airplane powers up its engines, but before it takes off, there's gunfire that erupts from the plane, and the various monsters that have tried to hitch a ride on the escape vehicle, as in every Xenomorph movie, are duly killed.
[22:33] *** D. Kakaku is treated to an in-flight movie that's VERY LOUD. Lots of cannonfire!
[22:33] * Airplane finishes revving up its engines, and after everybody is inside, and the necessary monsters are scraped off and gotten rid of, it takes off.
[22:33] * D. Kakaku [Airplane, VR Headset] watches aqnd listens to the movie
[22:34] * @Chateaux Concierge tracks this plane and keeps detialed readings on it and the space around it
[22:34] * Airplane is excellent! There's also wonderful food served to him by a nice stewardess!
[22:34] * Airplane is heading to Sri-Lanka
[22:34] * The Voyager does her best to hook it up....
[22:34] * @Chateaux Concierge will keep an eye on it paying extra attention to any time it happens to blip off the radar and what the spatial readings are like
[22:35] * Airplane would normally not have enough fuel to have only that much refueling done, and presumably needs to stop at another airport.
[22:35] *** Does Chateaux have another drone photograph it?
[22:35] * D. Kakaku [Airplane, VR Headset] eats some of the food and "Looks" (since he's wearing a VR headset) at the stewardess.
[22:35] *** Stewardess is very happy to see him, and says that he can use a sleeping cabin, or his chair to nap in, if he's tired. She asks if he wants some more turkey or wine.
[22:36] * Henry Dorsett Charon enters the lobby
[22:36] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Hi.
[22:36] * D. Kakaku [Airplane, VR Headset] asks for sme turkey
[22:36] <@Chateaux Concierge> Hi Henry
[22:37] * Airplane staff serves D. Kakaku generous portions of turkey with heavily-buttered mashed potatoes, and other high-carb, high-trypophan foods.
[22:37] *** Does Chateaux
[22:37] *** The Voyager has left #suburbansenshi2 (*finishes setting it up*)
[22:38] *** Does Chateaux have another drone photograph the aircraft?
[22:38] * @Chateaux Concierge can be seen keeping an eye on a giant holographic screen, under which is another with drone surevillance foorage of an airplane in flight, and another eith diemsnional scans of said plane and the airspace around it, with tons of streaming glyphs in an alien charactger set (Gallifreyan)
[22:38] * Det. Ema Skye waves to Henry
[22:38] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Now, what is going on?
[22:38] * Henry Dorsett Charon waves back
[22:38] * Det. Ema Skye is eatching Chat follow all this
[22:38] <Det. Ema Skye> Daniel is onboard a plane heading to Sri Lanka, we're checking it out.
[22:39] <Det. Ema Skye> There's also wedird creatures attacking most of the other wards of Tokyo straight out of Lovecraft.
[22:39] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Why is he going to Sri Lanka? Did we find a link there?
[22:39] <Det. Ema Skye> That's where the mystery plane we saw the other night is heading
[22:39] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (I had a suspicion it was him.) Lovecraft. I barely read him.
[22:39] <@Chateaux Concierge> For a pit stop, I'd guess.
[22:40] <@Chateaux Concierge> Well, if you want a quick and nasty death you can go out there and live him hahah
[22:40] * Airplane is actually easily trackable. It does nothing unusual, except that it never transmits. When one of Chateaux's drones gets close, it's clear that there are, once again, no pilots visible.
[22:41] * @Chateaux Concierge also wants to re-iterate an older query to the GM - the booming voice who offered people sanctuary, the voiceprint, was that Sailor Enclave?
[22:41] *** Chateaux now realizes that it's almost impossible for her drones to intercept signals from the plane. Either they aren't transmitting at all, of there was shielding on the plane that was compromised when the door was admitting passengers and doing airport stuff, OR it's that the Airport radar was better able to intercept the signals than her drones (least likely)
[22:42] * Sailor Enclave was absolutely doing that, and visibly throwing down in Tokyo harbor.
[22:42] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Strange to do a pit stop in Sri Lanka, but then again, it's a international hub for cargo stopovers before you get to the Strait of Malacca.
[22:42] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Marine ship wise.
[22:42] * @Chateaux Concierge wonders throwing down with what the monsters?
[22:43] * Sailor Enclave 's voice matches the other voice on file, but note that Chateaux didn't DIRECTLY notice it---she's not human. It would easily be in her power to find out what people said they heard, but ONLY humans heard the words.
[22:43] * Sailor Enclave might still be doing it, if Chateaux looks.
[22:43] * @Chateaux Concierge assumes then it wasn't telepathic communication?
[22:44] <spiritflame> Sailor Enclave rolls 1d20 [ 6 ]
[22:44] <@Chateaux Concierge> Hey Ema do you want to go f[BLEEP]k with Sailor Enclave?
[22:44] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (And who are these new people?)
[22:44] <Det. Ema Skye> No. F[BLEEP]k no.
[22:44] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Who's Sailor Enclave?
[22:45] * Sailor Enclave is still down at Tokyo Bay, obviously fighting, with lighting and fire lighting up the night. Yes, she's fighting monsters, and yes, she's (and presumably those other creatures working with her) are working to protect the humans, but there's something a bit disconcerting.
[22:45] <Det. Ema Skye> A very deadly woman who was the creation of an evil Sorceror
[22:45] * Sailor Enclave seems to have opened a portal, and the people who are fleeing the monsters through the portal, to a one, kneel in front of her (or one of the other people there) and kiss her hand, or press their foreheads to the ground while saying something.
[22:46] * @Chateaux Concierge is looking at all this through CCTV footage
[22:46] * @Chateaux Concierge is showing the others too
[22:46] *** Does Chateaux Concierge have a vid-screen of Sailor Enclave visible in the HOTEL Lobby? Yup, OK.
[22:46] <Det. Ema Skye> Who has access to some kind of other dimensions and obviously an Ego.
[22:46] <@Chateaux Concierge> You KNOW
[22:46] <Sailor Enclave> (( Henry Dorsett Charon, if you type "/look Sailor Enclave" you can see what this character looks like. ))
[22:47] <@Chateaux Concierge> if that's the same place we dumped Motoki we may want to try to get him back
[22:47] * Henry Dorsett Charon looks at Sailor Enclave.
[22:47] *** Sailor Enclave is a red-haired woman in a green, black, and blue Fuku who is bereft of remorse. Incredibly powerful, shrewd, ambitious, an echo of an entity thought gone, she is everything Eliza feared about herself, and holds the power to change the timeline forever.

[22:47] <@Chateaux Concierge> I mean I'm pretty sure Makoto wants her hubby back
[22:48] <@Chateaux Concierge> And all my data-collection stuff I loaded him uo with should have everything we can record recorded
[22:48] <Det. Ema Skye> I am *not* going over there
[22:48] <@Chateaux Concierge> Weaksauce
[22:48] <Det. Ema Skye> Look I'm just a cop okay? There's not much I can do against those things
[22:49] <// J_Daito //> How much will you pay me
[22:49] * // J_Daito // steps out of the shadows
[22:49] * Sailor Enclave keeps fighting. There are two other people fighting too. It may be that this display of successful resistance has caused other defenders to rally nearby, but Sailor Enclave, and two other people, fly around, shoot beams of fire, hurl lightning, and on occasion let loose blasts of pure destructive force.
[22:49] <// J_Daito //> I've killed the Elder Gods once, it might be fun to do it again.
[22:49] <Henry Dorsett Charon> Just give Sailor Enclave some augmented claws, and she turns into Molly Millions.
[22:49] <Det. Ema Skye> .... I don't have money Jedite. I'm a cop, we get paid s[BLEEP]t.
[22:50] <@Chateaux Concierge> I own Canada and have a copious stash of cocaine.
[22:50] * Henry Dorsett Charon looks at at Jedite.
[22:50] *** at Jedite is your average everyday at Jedite

[22:50] <@Chateaux Concierge> I'll give you province.
[22:50] * // J_Daito // looks in the mirror.
[22:50] *** // J_Daito // is

[22:50] <// J_Daito //> ...I want Alberta
[22:51] <@Chateaux Concierge> Done. Go. Get fur-boy back
[22:51] <// J_Daito //> Right
[22:51] * // J_Daito // nods in a manly fashion and vanishes in a haze of moderately-well-budgeted CGI
[22:51] * // J_Daito // has moved to: [ Battle Area ]
[22:52] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (A CEO. The enemy of hackers, if I will be honest.)
[22:52] * // J_Daito // [Battle Area] temeports in and looks for this Envlave person, while casually murdering any monster in his path and stealing their energy
[22:52] * Henry Dorsett Charon watches as this all unfolds.
[22:52] * Sailor Enclave has moved to: [ Harumi Pier Park ]
[22:52] * // J_Daito // has moved to: [ Harumi Pier Park ]
[22:52] * D. Kakaku [Airplane, VR Headset] eventually falls asleep
[22:52] * // J_Daito // [Harumi Pier Park] looks around for Enclave
[22:53] * // J_Daito // [Harumi Pier Park] has on him a s[BLEEP]tty pictgure of Furuhata with his pet Kamekichi VII
[22:53] * Sailor Enclave [Harumi Pier Park] is fighting! Bolts of arcane energy fly, javelins turn into bolts of lighting, and people run through the portal.
[22:53] * Sailor Enclave [Harumi Pier Park] is not hard to find.
[22:53] * // J_Daito // [Harumi Pier Park] clears out some of the monsters heading their way so he can have a chance to talk to her
[22:54] <// J_Daito //> [Harumi Pier Park] *yelling* You're Sailor Enclave, right?
[22:54] * Sailor Enclave looks at // J_Daito //.
[22:54] *** // J_Daito // is




His image Song is: 'Name of the Game' by The Crystal Method.
[22:55] <spiritflame> Sailor Enclave rolls 1d20 [ 13 ]
[22:56] <Sailor Enclave> [Harumi Pier Park] Portal is that way. Swear fealty if you want to enter it.
[22:56] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (That Jedite CEO prick has Name of the Game as his favourite song. Even the rich have good taste at times.)
[22:56] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (What are you, Armitage?)
[22:56] * Sailor Enclave [Harumi Pier Park] electrocutes a demon.
[22:56] <// J_Daito //> [Harumi Pier Park] I have no need
[22:56] <Sailor Enclave> [Harumi Pier Park] Then why are you here?
[22:56] <// J_Daito //> [Harumi Pier Park] I'm looking for this fellow that was taken in my you about a year ago
[22:56] * // J_Daito // [Harumi Pier Park] shows the picture
[22:57] * Sailor Enclave [Harumi Pier Park] lands. There are actually several versions of how to swear fealty carved into the ground near the portal. Note---several iterations are present, each shorter than the last.
[22:57] <Sailor Enclave> [Harumi Pier Park] I have him, yes, but this REALLY IS NOT A GOOD TIME!
[22:57] <// J_Daito //> [Harumi Pier Park] His Wife wants him back and since I don't feel like getting electrocutrd I came to ask if he could be retrieved
[22:57] <// J_Daito //> [Harumi Pier Park] I see
[22:57] <// J_Daito //> [Harumi Pier Park] Well
[22:57] * // J_Daito // [Harumi Pier Park] turns to face the monsters
[22:57] * Sailor Enclave [Harumi Pier Park] points upward.
[22:57] * // J_Daito // [Harumi Pier Park] raises a hand and starts to form a huge black DEAHT BALL
[22:57] <Sailor Enclave> [Harumi Pier Park] What's going on.
[22:58] * // J_Daito // [Harumi Pier Park] starts draswing in all their energy
[22:58] <Sailor Enclave> [Harumi Pier Park] Tell me what's going on up there.
[22:58] * Sailor Enclave [Harumi Pier Park] watches this.
[22:58] <// J_Daito //> [Harumi Pier Park] What does it look like, I'm taking thir energy
[22:58] * Sailor Enclave [Harumi Pier Park] observes how dangerous Jedite is...
[22:58] <Sailor Enclave> [Harumi Pier Park] .....
[22:58] <Sailor Enclave> [Harumi Pier Park] ......
[22:58] <// J_Daito //> [Harumi Pier Park] This way, you have time to go get him for me.
[22:58] <// J_Daito //> [Harumi Pier Park] If you could, please.
[22:58] <Sailor Enclave> [Harumi Pier Park] ......
[22:58] * // J_Daito // [Harumi Pier Park] smiles a cold and sinister smile
[22:59] * Sailor Enclave [Harumi Pier Park] responds by closing the portal, and planeshifting away.
[22:59] * // J_Daito // [Harumi Pier Park] is alslso clewrly levelling himself up with each monter he absorbs and... Well then
[22:59] * Sailor Enclave [Harumi Pier Park] leaves all of the people on the dock, now with no refuge.
[22:59] * // J_Daito // [Harumi Pier Park] sighs and just murders all the monsters
[22:59] *** Sailor Enclave [SmilingSoulFarmer@sculptedeternity.con] has quit IRC (Puzzle, deal with him.)
[22:59] * // J_Daito // [Harumi Pier Park] sees all the paniched people, and then shifts to absorbing all the nergy of their fear. This is f[BLEEP]king great
[23:00] <@Chateaux Concierge> ...UDE
[23:00] *** One of the people who was flying and fighting watches this happen, and thinks it's hilarious.
[23:00] <@Chateaux Concierge> DUDE
[23:00] <@Chateaux Concierge> STOP F[BLEEP]KING LEVELLING AND GET MOTOKI
[23:00] <Det. Ema Skye> Can he even hear you
[23:00] <@Chateaux Concierge> <_< no
[23:00] <Henry Dorsett Charon> (Chateaux is pissed.)
[23:01] * Armored Flying Woman with Rapier watches Jedite do this, and makes no move to stop this victimization.
[23:01] * // J_Daito // [Harumi Pier Park] is now just being like alcuard in hellsing having a blast murdering monsters and getting stronger by the second
[23:01] <Armored Flying Woman with Rapier> I'll work with you. Tell me what you want?
[23:01] * // J_Daito // [Harumi Pier Park] looks at her
[23:01] * // J_Daito // [Harumi Pier Park] shows her the picture of Motoki with Kamekichi
[23:01] <// J_Daito //> [Harumi Pier Park] I'm looking for this guy
[23:02] * // J_Daito // [Harumi Pier Park] talks while absently blasting monsters away with a free hand
[23:02] <Armored Flying Woman wielding Rapier> I was instructed to deal with you.
[23:02] <Armored Flying Woman wielding Rapier> .....
[23:02] <// J_Daito //> [Harumi Pier Park] Well I'm asking for this guy.
[23:02] * Armored Flying Woman wielding Rapier looks at the other person, laughing, and then at Jedite.
[23:02] <// J_Daito //> [Harumi Pier Park] Let's make a deal then
[23:02] <Armored Flying Woman wielding Rapier> I like deals.
[23:02] <// J_Daito //> [Harumi Pier Park] He's in your realm
[23:03] <// J_Daito //> [Harumi Pier Park] So what dod you weant to get him back.
[23:03] <// J_Daito //> [Harumi Pier Park] ^do you want
[23:03] * Armored Flying Woman wielding Rapier shakes her head. "Not mine."
[23:03] <Henry Dorsett Charon> At least the CEO doesn't sit around on his fat ass and does something useful.
[23:03] <Armored Flying Woman wielding Rapier> I can bring him to you.
[23:03] <// J_Daito //> [Harumi Pier Park] That works. What do you want for that.
[23:03] * Armored Flying Woman wielding Rapier watches Jedite do all of this. "....."
[23:03] * // J_Daito // [Harumi Pier Park] grabs a monster in a headlock and SQUEEZES the life out of it, inhaliing its essence
[23:04] * Armored Flying Woman wielding Rapier looks at the other person who was fighting.
[23:04] * // J_Daito // [Harumi Pier Park] drops it casually
[23:04] <Armored Flying Woman wielding Rapier> ....
[23:04] <Det. Ema Skye> He just... he's just having fun now
[23:04] <Armored Flying Woman wielding Rapier> Will you pay me in installments?
[23:04] <Armored Flying Woman wielding Rapier> I want more than one thing... <.<
[23:04] <@Chateaux Concierge> Well he doesn't really get to cut loose these days
[23:05] * // J_Daito // [Harumi Pier Park] is very used to beautiful women wanting many installements from him
[23:05] *** The other person who was fighting looks on at the people and the screaming.
[23:05] <// J_Daito //> [Harumi Pier Park] Depends on how man installments and what it is I'm paying
[23:05] <Henry Dorsett Charon> How rich are you?
[23:05] * Armored Flying Woman wielding Rapier suddenly points at the other flying person who was helping Sailor Enclave, and says, "Kill him."
[23:06] * // J_Daito // [Harumi Pier Park] has basically stopped all the screaming because he's sucked almost all the eerngy out of the scared people so they shoul dbe passed out. he's using them as bait for the eldritch monsters
[23:06] * // J_Daito // [Harumi Pier Park] looks at this other flying person
[23:06] <// J_Daito //> [Harumi Pier Park] Is that an installment?
[23:06] <spiritflame> Blood-drenched Flying Sword-Wielder rolls 1d20 [ 10 ]
[23:07] <spiritflame> Blood-drenched Flying Sword-Wielder rolls 1d2 [ 1 ]
[23:07] * Blood-drenched Flying Sword-Wielder doesn't hear what they are saying.
[23:07] <Armored Flying Woman with Rapier> QUICKLY.
[23:08] * // J_Daito // [Harumi Pier Park] sighs and charges up a hige bolt of dark energy shaped like a spear and hurls it at the flying man
[23:08] *** Who, exactly, would dark energy hurt?
[23:08] * Henry Dorsett Charon sits and watches all of this happening.
[23:09] * // J_Daito // [Harumi Pier Park] would smite anyone in its path with it
[23:09] *** Would it level a hole through a forest, kill a bear standing there, and keep going on wrecking stuff?
[23:09] * // J_Daito // [Harumi Pier Park] notes it would until it dissipates
[23:10] <spiritflame> Dark Energy Bolt rolls 20d6 [ 4, 1, 6, 4, 4, 4, 4, 1, 3, 2, 4, 4, 5, 6, 2, 3, 1, 2, 5, 2 ]
[23:11] * Dark Energy Bolt DOES NOT KILL the blood-soaked swordsman, but it does send bits of exotic metal flying, and blood pours from him.
[23:12] * // J_Daito // [Harumi Pier Park] sighs, looks like he'll just hav to try again
[23:12] *** The woman Jedite was talking to attacks, also, and uses fire---cue the scene of the T-1000 melting. It's horrible, inhuman shrieking.
