#Flarp2 - Session 53

<Jaspersprite> *** The street is bustling as usual with townsfolk, all going through the usual motions of the morning. For the most part? It was as usual and mundane as any other day, considering. If you've been really, /reeeeally/ paid close attention, you may even notice a few new faces amongst the crowd, too-- this must be from the waters, now free of eldritch abominatio
<Jaspersprite> ns as far as the eye can see.
<Jaspersprite> *** Doubtlessly.
-*- NitoriTheMechanic Perhaps even
-*- NitoriTheMechanic A certain
-*- NitoriTheMechanic Mechanic
<Jaspersprite> *** ;y

-*- NitoriTheMechanic haha suckers get off my boat
<Nitro> [HAhahahahha I have no idea where we left off last]
-*- tenaciouslyCrunknasty Gamzee is now on the floor instead of hanging out the window as previous. He is spacing out hardcore, blunt smouldering forgotten at the side of his mouth.
<alaroraArchtrix> (what is even)
<alaroraArchtrix> (someone pls bring me up to speed)
<Nitro> [Check the logs??]
<NitoriTheMechanic> first u gotta become sanic chth ))

<Jaspersprite> [[The boat-- yes that uou]]
<alaroraArchtrix> [yeah, that's what i mean]
<Nitro> [We can probably get away with saying Nero and others who didn't partake in the previous session were exhausted and slept on the boat or something?]
<alaroraArchtrix> [pffffff]
<Jaspersprite> [[Hawkeyes converts boat into Inn]]
<alaroraArchtrix> [that so happened with him]
<alaroraArchtrix> [little shit]
<alaroraArchtrix> [not with kanaya tho]
<Nitro> [Halley's just kind of. Bloody and wanders around town. He fits right in with the locals now.]
<NitoriTheMechanic> kanaya wandered through the night and hooked up with one of the many respectable ladies around town ))

<alaroraArchtrix> [Well]
-*- NitoriTheMechanic built one heck of a rubbish time machine ))
-*- Jaspersprite Fff]]
-*- tenaciouslyCrunknasty Actually since I forgot about the whole conversation with the potion gal, Gamzee is not in a room but outside. He is in the same position.
-*- tenaciouslyCrunknasty Maybe someone trips over him.
<alaroraArchtrix> [okay okay]
<alaroraArchtrix> [for real]
<alaroraArchtrix> [need to get into mental space here]
<alaroraArchtrix> [don't mind me]
<Nitro> [u can do it]
-*- tenaciouslyCrunknasty Someone like a mechanic.
-*- Nitro HINT HINT.
-*- Nitro HINT.
-*- tenaciouslyCrunknasty Or whatever character you seem to be trying to introduce.
-*- NitoriTheMechanic oh
-*- NitoriTheMechanic oH
-*- tenaciouslyCrunknasty Look at that clown, just flagrantly all over the ground there. Just all up in your business.
-*- NitoriTheMechanic conveniently enough, a certain kappa seems to have been hurrying along down the road!
-*- tenaciouslyCrunknasty What are you gonna do about that, feet.
-*- NitoriTheMechanic Keyword: been.
-*- NitoriTheMechanic Unfortunately, there was /something/ in the way of her hearty lass scamper.
-*- NitoriTheMechanic A clown, spread aaaaall over the road!
-*- NitoriTheMechanic Dear me. What can a girl do but stumble and trip?
-*- tenaciouslyCrunknasty HONK
<Jaspersprite> *** Maybe, once this is all over, Gamzee can invest in a career as a road block. Nitori proceeds to AUTO-STUMBLE. Somebody possibly points and laughs. (-1)
-*- tenaciouslyCrunknasty -1 to dignity
<tenaciouslyCrunknasty> -1 to roadblock fortitude
-*- tenaciouslyCrunknasty Gamzee sits up, still pretty out of it. He doesn't seem to realize what up and motherfucking just transpired, motherfucker.
<Jaspersprite> *** You're not off to a good start there, Kappa.
-*- tenaciouslyCrunknasty He spies yon kappa, and grants her one of his patented stoner grins.
-*- NitoriTheMechanic ;_;
<tenaciouslyCrunknasty> Whoooa bitty sis, what it do? Decided to up and join me all up and down on the ground? Shit is /mad/ happenin' down here, motherfucker. Check it.
<tenaciouslyCrunknasty> I been lookin' at all them cracks in the road, right? This shit has got a /message/ in it.
<tenaciouslyCrunknasty> I ain't sure what it's tryin' to /tell/ a motherfucker, yet, but I got some /theories/.
-*- NitoriTheMechanic This particular lady doesn't seem too up with the hip new talk of the street. She looks pretty confused by what this oh so clearly cursed, possibly even hypnotized clown-fellow is talking about!
<tenaciouslyCrunknasty> See this one?
-*- NitoriTheMechanic Nitori seems torn between nodding and escaping while she still can.
-*- tenaciouslyCrunknasty He traces a wobbly path along the cobblestones with one of his fucked-up knuckles. He looks like he's been put through a clothes-wringer- clothes torn, hair fucked up. Definitely cursed.
<NitoriTheMechanic> ...Um.
-*- tenaciouslyCrunknasty He looks pretty happy with the sidewalk, though.
<tenaciouslyCrunknasty> Shit is all like to be a spaceship.
<NitoriTheMechanic> 'Scuse ya, sir, but I should prob'ly be on my way, y'know...
<tenaciouslyCrunknasty> And right next to it? A /foot/.
-*- NitoriTheMechanic That has to be one of the dumbest sounding accents ever.
<tenaciouslyCrunknasty> Maybe it's like, you just keep walkin' motherfucker, you gonna end up in the /stars/, you know? You just keep goin and it'll be alright, you gonna see somethin' miraculous.
-*- NitoriTheMechanic Japanese? What japanese.
-*- NitoriTheMechanic :y
<NitoriTheMechanic> Walkin' to th'moon don' seem like sucha bright idea, though...

<ZeeZee> (PST)
<tenaciouslyCrunknasty> I am almost /positive/ that shit is a miracle.
<alaroraArchtrix> I Understand That Youre Not In Control Of All Your Mental Faculties And Would Prefer Reposing In The Boat
<alaroraArchtrix> But
<ZeeZee> (Can I get a recap?)
-*- tenaciouslyCrunknasty He blinks at the kappa, one eye at a time. "Why not, girl?"
<NitoriTheMechanic> 'Cuz it's way up there, in space.
<Jaspersprite> [[Nitori trips over Gamzee]]
<Jaspersprite> [[Gamzee speculates over cracks in the street]]
<alaroraArchtrix> I Simply Cannot Allow To Sleep Any Longer
<Jaspersprite> [[You are now up to speed]]
<NitoriTheMechanic> Heard all 'bout it from them lunar folks over in the bamboo forest.
<alaroraArchtrix> Seventeen Hours Is More Than Enough
<ZeeZee> (Yes good.)
-*- NitoriTheMechanic If Kanaya is indeed at the scene, Nitori seems fairly oblivious to her.
-*- Jaspersprite She's talking to Nero on the boat from what I can gather uvu]]
<alaroraArchtrix> ffffuck you man
<alaroraArchtrix> (actually)
<alaroraArchtrix> (they /are/ there)
<Jaspersprite> [[G a s p]]
<alaroraArchtrix> (guys you gotta wait for this build up man)
<alaroraArchtrix> (you are missing out on so much gr8ness)
<tenaciouslyCrunknasty> Oh /shit/, motherfucker, there's some moon people?
-*- ZeeZee giving a yawn Sollux walked outside after having gotten himself ready for the day. What a day it was too... Maybe... Eh, whatever. He hears some familiar voices and heads on after them soon finding his companions.
<Jaspersprite> [[I know uvu;]]
<NitoriTheMechanic> If ya wanna go t'space an' the stars, ya better get yerself a rocket.
<alaroraArchtrix> i just sliced up some real calamari bullshit
<alaroraArchtrix> i can sleep whenever i damn well want
<NitoriTheMechanic> Yeah, one o' them lunar folks was even th'princess!
<alaroraArchtrix> And I Was Tossed Firmly Into Its Eye
<NitoriTheMechanic> Or, well.
-*- NitoriTheMechanic Lookin' a bit sheepish there Nitori.
<alaroraArchtrix> We All Have Our Chains To Bear
<NitoriTheMechanic> She says she's th'princess but I don' know if tha's so.

<NitoriTheMechanic> Y-yeah, well, they still back'n Gensokyo, over in th'Eintei, I figure.
-*- tenaciouslyCrunknasty Gamzee looks between the two non-humans, overwhelmed by the miracles.
<NitoriTheMechanic> Ah jus' dunno how t'get back there...
<Jaspersprite> *** Nitori is entrenched in a dreaded INTERACTION SNARE x2 COMBO. Welcome to Nam.
-*- NitoriTheMechanic Looks pretty human, apart from the whole
-*- NitoriTheMechanic Blue hair deal.
-*- alaroraArchtrix Oh, goodness gracious, what is that lovely pair heading up on the horizon? You know, the one's whose voices you've been hearing all this time?
-*- alaroraArchtrix ...Well, maybe not. Maybe you've been too preoccupied to listen. Understandable. Tripping is such a dreadful deed, after all.
-*- alaroraArchtrix Irregardless, they're certainly here now. Trudging along the sidewalk, the lumniscient troll was dragging her ward by the arm, coaxing him to actually try and live for once.
-*- alaroraArchtrix He was having none of it. Goddamnit, why can't he just sleep for once. Stupid madam fortress mommy-
-*- ZeeZee notices this pair and waaaaves. "hey there took you two long enough two get here."
-*- NitoriTheMechanic fuck fuck are those more people okay
-*- tenaciouslyCrunknasty Fuuuuuck all these motherfuckers comin' all at once. He seems just as overwhelmed as Nitori, but way happier about it.

-*- PageEnglish WOAH! HALLEY! SLOW DOWN!

<alaroraArchtrix> Oh
<alaroraArchtrix> Nero
<Jaspersprite> *** Halley doesn't just /walk/ into some place. God no. They proceed to /SWAGGER/ in-- or, well. The canine variation of swaggering. The point is, they make their way into the PAWN SHOP, it's shelves still stocked with a particularly colorful assortment of baubles and beauties. Behind the counter stands the establishment's owner, the eccentric and overall gen
<alaroraArchtrix> Im Sure She Didnt Mean To Put It So Crudely
<Jaspersprite> eric JOHN EGBERT.

<alaroraArchtrix> the hell she did!

<Jaspersprite> *** I am s o r r y
-*- Nitro Now that he's got that cleared up, he'll waltz casually up to the cOUNTER HOLY SHIT THAT GUY LOOKS LIKE MASTER.
<tenaciouslyCrunknasty> Hey, little bro, take it easy on the chica. She is from motherfuckin' /space/.
<alaroraArchtrix> oh you did not just-
-*- PageEnglish doesn't notice the dirty look as he's laughing from the gender slip up.
-*- Nitori has lived her whole life surrounded by ladies whAT DO YOU WANT FROM HER
<tenaciouslyCrunknasty> Probably ain't even got things like callin' people he's and she's and all that motherfuckin' business.
-*- Nitro Wait, crap, keep your cool, Sasslord. You are swag. Gotta impress him, you know? Can't ever lose your cool. Kinda like that kid you adopted, remember? Easy on the waggin', Cadet.

<Jaspersprite> *** Nitori gets their hand immediately bITTEN OFF.
-*- PageEnglish continues to watch, highly amused.
-*- alaroraArchtrix MMPH!
-*- Nitro ...But it's no use. Halley's internal monologue cannot entirely eliminate the happy wagging of his tail. He is just a really happy dog right now, ok? Nevertheless, he approaches Mr. Egbert with an otherwise cool demeanor and decides to sniff around the dude's inventory.
<Nitori> Jus', listen fer a sec, alright?
-*- alaroraArchtrix FUCK THAT NOISE.

-*- alaroraArchtrix Count your lucky stars, Nitori. Count 'em good.

-*- Nitori eVERYTHING
<alaroraArchtrix> didnt anyone teach you a thing or two bout pERSONAL SPACE?
-*- alaroraArchtrix Your voice is cracking, Nero dear. Ain't puberty a bitch?
-*- tenaciouslyCrunknasty Gamzee gets up, some words of wisdom prepared to diffuse this situation. He places himself between the quarreling youngsters and promptly forgets he was even going to say anything.
<Nitori> Ya wouldn' lemme explain--
-*- tenaciouslyCrunknasty He squints in a direction.
-*- Nitori woah okay what now
<Jaspersprite> *** The dog catches Mr. Notbert's eyes-- mainly out of worry that he'll see the merchandise as a choice chew toy. What other reason would he have? He doesn't really recognize Halley, or anything. For the most part, they just. Skimmed the comic. Except when the trolls came in-- those guys were cool.
<Jaspersprite> *** Except eRIDAN--
<Jaspersprite> *** Loading...
<PageEnglish> (FFF)
-*- alaroraArchtrix He slaps a hand across his mouth, pausing for one scant moment. Goddamnit.

-*- Nitori ...
<PageEnglish> wow man har2h.
<Nitori> Ain't used t'meetin' boys, alright?
-*- alaroraArchtrix Mercifully, that moment is all that Kanaya needs to defuse the situation. Or, well, try to.

<Jaspersprite> *** Sabre of the Furthest Ring: A dark sword forged by your most unforgetable nightmares. It's merciless in every sense of the word, with a ripping edge and a handle coiled by a single sickly tendril. The horrorterrror's influence has a horrid tendency to get to the weilder... or, well. Most weilders. Has a 10% chance to afflict FEAR, BLEEDING, CRYING DEEPLY
<Jaspersprite> or DROWSINESS with each strike. Has a 50% chance to remove most positive effects. Increased effect to LIGHT aligned enemies.

-*- chthonianGunslinger He'd be better off selling it for extra cash, but-
-*- chthonianGunslinger His old man always told him that you should never sell a good weapon, no matter how useless it seemed to be. Doing so was just disrespectful.
