  1. Apr 26 12:09:11 <Aori_Radidjiu> Sunday, May 30th, 2 PM. The rain over Conch City has dissipated, leaving the sky mostly overcast. It's about now when the remaining official PIRATES members (Melanie, Mackenzie, Lesieli, and Knox) receive an email notification from Murphy Corrale. http://pastebin.com/JqAdqHqw There is also a message from Gran, it seems that Med decided to quit PIRATES outright and left Fangs in Lecia's
  2. Apr 26 12:09:12 <Aori_Radidjiu> care. If anyone in crew wants her, so that she can stay with Kei, they can go to Lecia's lab to pick her up.
  3. Apr 26 12:16:46 <Knox> Knox seems engrossed in reading this email for the morning, looking over it again and again, before hrming, locking his computer and going to find the others.
  4. Apr 26 12:20:28 * Mackenzie is up on the deck, looking out at the water.
  5. Apr 26 12:21:05 * Melons sits on the cap'ns box or whatever we're calling it, with a weird combination of excitement and exhaustion as she waits for everyone to gather.
  6. Apr 26 12:22:39 * Knox has quit (Connection reset by peer)
  7. Apr 26 12:22:45 * Mayuri is busy grooming a fluffy hat.
  8. Apr 26 12:28:38 * Ambrosia (DDK@sux-9FA1ED13.lightspeed.jcsnms.sbcglobal.net) has joined
  9. Apr 26 12:30:34 * Ambrosia is now known as Knox
  10. Apr 26 12:32:25 <Knox> Well then, Knox goes to bug Mack and Mel then. That Les girl will show up eventually, right? He goes over to one of them and then gestures for the other to join. "You all get that email, I take it?"
  11. Apr 26 12:33:42 <Melons> Mack is presumably closer, so Mel melts off the side of the cap'ns boxthing to get closer, an unusual pep in her step. "Yes, Jackknife."
  12. Apr 26 12:34:51 <Mackenzie> Mack turns around. You can tell he's been thinking about this stuff. "Aren't you more worried about the missing crew?"
  13. Apr 26 12:35:00 <Knox> "Thought as much. I want to check out the chemical plant eventually, but Jackknife is the priority with what we discussed before..."
  14. Apr 26 12:35:03 <Knox> He thinks about it.
  15. Apr 26 12:36:09 <Melons> "I'd rather stop another crew from going missing before worrying about that." The compassion is lacking, but it probably sounds logical enough. Probably.
  16. Apr 26 12:36:17 * Mayuri suddenly waltzs in, waving to everyone~
  17. Apr 26 12:36:19 * Lesieli is being antisocial as always, playing around on the Rammy/internet. But for once she's actually out of her room, chilling in a chair somewhere or other. It's progress!
  18. Apr 26 12:36:54 <Mayuri> "Oh! There you people are!" :o
  19. Apr 26 12:37:03 <Knox> "I'm 'concerned' in a matter of speaking. The less people we have on our side, the less effective our front against Aether will be, but I think it's more likely they're already dead."
  20. Apr 26 12:37:19 <Knox> "In any case if you're that worried about it, Jackknife is on the way."
  21. Apr 26 12:38:24 <Melons> "And we can then proceed to Ark to check on the mermaid if Jackknife is a dead lead. Or to recuperate if we bust some heads."
  22. Apr 26 12:39:23 * Knox looks at Mayuri.
  23. Apr 26 12:39:27 <Melons> Mel glances at Mayuri, looking a little troubled. "...but...there's the issue of the kid..."
  24. Apr 26 12:39:36 <Knox> "Looking for us, huh?"
  25. Apr 26 12:39:50 * Mayuri blinks
  26. Apr 26 12:39:58 <Mayuri> "Eh?" :T
  27. Apr 26 12:40:22 <Knox> "You said 'there you are'. What did you want?"
  28. Apr 26 12:40:45 <Knox> He seems mostly neutral to Mayuri's presence now, whereas before he regarded her with some distaste.
  29. Apr 26 12:41:16 <Mayuri> "I couldn't find anybody, so, I went looking to find people!"
  30. Apr 26 12:42:14 <Knox> "Oh, figures. Listen, one way or another we're not long for departing into dangerous territory to take care of some nasty people. If you want to get off, now's your last chance. Otherwise, you better be prepared to pitch in."
  31. Apr 26 12:43:39 <Melons> "Dangerous as in 'we might die,' not 'we might break an arm....or a rib.'"
  32. Apr 26 12:44:51 <Knox> "Anyway, as for Mosaic Cave, that place is pretty notorious for people who don't know how to pilot a boat. What do we even know about the crew of the Aegis? Easy place to make it look like an accident, anyway."
  33. Apr 26 12:47:22 <Melons> "And even then, we don't know if it's Aether, normal pirates, or hell even normal pokemon could wreack havoc somewhere like that."
  34. Apr 26 12:47:31 <Melons> -c
  35. Apr 26 12:49:22 <Knox> "Right. We know what takes priority here."
  36. Apr 26 12:50:11 <Knox> "Aside from that... apparently each of us recruited have some sort of personal stake we don't know about? I'd like to learn just what the fuck happened with me and this corruption, myself."
  37. Apr 26 12:50:57 <Mackenzie> "I've had a hard time imagining what they would have wanted to do that would change me to who I am."
  38. Apr 26 12:51:14 * Melons turns away to go find Lani and inform him of their destination.
  39. Apr 26 12:51:18 <Melons> 4d6+4 Feign disinterest in the topic
  40. Apr 26 12:51:19 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Feign disinterest in the topic: 20 [4d6=6,3,1,6]
  41. Apr 26 12:53:03 <Mackenzie> "All I could figure is that I was someone truly influential, so they replaced that with a more pacifying life as an actor."
  42. Apr 26 12:54:35 <Knox> "A politician, maybe?"
  43. Apr 26 12:54:42 <Knox> He squints.
  44. Apr 26 12:55:05 <Knox> "Anyway, are we contacting Lecia about this before we go or what."
  45. Apr 26 12:56:12 * Mayuri crosses her arms
  46. Apr 26 12:56:15 <Mackenzie> "My father was a pokemon battling expert, and my mother a contest expert. That's what they always wanted me to be." He sighs and thinks a minute. "...No. I'd honestly rather not know."
  47. Apr 26 12:56:54 * Melons knocks on the cap'n's box, peering in to see if she can see the Lani in his natural habitat.
  48. Apr 26 12:57:50 <Mayuri> "Well... it can't be that bad, can it?" :T
  49. Apr 26 12:58:04 <Mayuri> "I mean, you're all still alive."
  50. Apr 26 12:59:02 * Lesieli comes bounding in suddenly, rammy and sheep in trail "Hey! Hey! Did you all SEE this? Can you - I just - wow!"
  51. Apr 26 13:00:13 <Knox> "It can always be worse."
  52. Apr 26 13:00:20 <Mackenzie> "The fact remains that I am who I am, and I can't immediately change that without wasting more time. Since the Mermaid Haven incident, we've wasted enough time trying to get Med back with us, and that was for naught."
  53. Apr 26 13:00:23 * Knox looks over at Les as she bounds over. "What, the email?"
  54. Apr 26 13:00:23 <Aori_Radidjiu> Lani is looking over his smartphone (which is an old-styled flip-phone) and reading, apparently he got the memo too? He looks up at you and waves at you to come in, Mel.
  55. Apr 26 13:00:51 <Lesieli> "Everyone, check you e-mail, it's crazy!"
  56. Apr 26 13:00:58 <Lesieli> "Er, uh, yeah"
  57. Apr 26 13:01:16 * Knox walks over to Les and squints.
  58. Apr 26 13:01:18 <Lesieli> "So you all saw it?"
  59. Apr 26 13:01:21 * Melons slips in. "Jackknife."
  60. Apr 26 13:01:24 <Knox> "You're not pink... no tail."
  61. Apr 26 13:01:29 * Mayuri blinks
  62. Apr 26 13:01:30 <Knox> "Vacant stare is there, though..."
  63. Apr 26 13:01:32 <Mayuri> "Er... wait, email?"
  64. Apr 26 13:01:44 <Knox> "We just need to find a cloyster and maybe we can get you evolved."
  65. Apr 26 13:02:31 * Lesieli does the head-cocked confused thing "Huh?"
  66. Apr 26 13:02:36 <Knox> "Exactly."
  67. Apr 26 13:02:42 <Knox> "Anyway."
  68. Apr 26 13:03:21 <Aori_Radidjiu> Lani nods. "Yew all leavin' right away or should I just get the engines ready?"
  69. Apr 26 13:03:51 * Knox looks at Mayuri. "All of us in the organization you don't belong to got a much needed dossier about the people we're fighting and the situation surrounding it. It's classified information but you're bound to pick up some of it on the way."
  70. Apr 26 13:04:23 <Melons> "Hmm...we can probably leave right away. All of our planned estinations are in the area anyway."
  71. Apr 26 13:04:32 <Melons> +d
  72. Apr 26 13:04:55 <Aori_Radidjiu> (In that case I'm assuming Knox has already grabbed Fangs?)
  73. Apr 26 13:05:14 <Knox> (Yeah, let's say so)
  74. Apr 26 13:05:27 <Aori_Radidjiu> (Not that I was gonna' make you guys do much except acknowledge it happened)
  75. Apr 26 13:05:39 <Lesieli> "But anyways, isn't that just all SO COOL? I mean, it's so crazy and outlandish you can barely believe it, but then there's the videos from the cave, and the great library I've seen, and I just . . . wow"
  76. Apr 26 13:06:25 <Aori_Radidjiu> Lani gets up, straightening out his back, and starts pushing these buttons and those buttons to get the engine rumbling, then getting the anchor retrieved.
  77. Apr 26 13:06:32 <Knox> "It's pretty out there." he admits. "But that's part of what makes it so damn interesting."
  78. Apr 26 13:06:43 <Mayuri> 4d6+3 Occult Knowledge: wait what, does any of this make a bit of sense?
  79. Apr 26 13:06:44 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, Occult Knowledge: wait what, does any of this make a bit of sense?: 20 [4d6=6,2,6,3]
  80. Apr 26 13:07:11 <Mayuri> "Like... even more classified than my Dad's research?" o.o
  81. Apr 26 13:07:39 <Knox> Let's say, by the way, that Knox has temporarily replaced Oscilla with Fangs for the moment.
  82. Apr 26 13:07:48 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mayuri, you've heard SOME weird things about a bunch of caves...maybe it's the one near conch? Or there's one cove that had pirates in it recently, on the news, and some other weird caves.
  83. Apr 26 13:08:38 <Knox> "It's on a need to know basis, basically."
  84. Apr 26 13:09:33 <Knox> "Probably because it's complicated and farfetch'd as shit."
  85. Apr 26 13:10:09 <Knox> "If you're that interested, someone will probably let you read their email or something."
  86. Apr 26 13:10:35 <Knox> "By the way, I already went and picked up Med's pokemon." he says to Les and Mack, and Mel if she's back already, then lets out Fangs onto the deck for the moment.
  87. Apr 26 13:10:36 <Mayuri> "Well, if it's just a bunch of weird caves..." :T
  88. Apr 26 13:11:01 <Knox> "It's about reality getting rewritten and shit like that."
  89. Apr 26 13:11:11 <Melons> Mel steps back out to rejoin the rest after curiously watching Lani start the boat for a bit.
  90. Apr 26 13:14:05 <Mayuri> "More interesting than whatever the Pokemon League is doing, I guess..."
  91. Apr 26 13:14:09 <Knox> He glances down at Fangs. "We'll probably get along well enough, as long as you work as hard as the rest."
  92. Apr 26 13:14:57 <Knox> "What the hell videos are you talking about anyway?" he asks Les.
  93. Apr 26 13:15:00 <Melons> "Ah, right..." Mel lets Kei out.
  94. Apr 26 13:16:22 <Knox> He leans on the railing as the ship goes to set out.
  95. Apr 26 13:16:28 <Aori_Radidjiu> Kei pops out, in a ready stance. Seeing there's no battle, he looks left, then right, then relaxes his stance, putting his hands together and wringing them a little.
  96. Apr 26 13:16:50 * Melons nudges him towards Fangs.
  97. Apr 26 13:17:00 <Knox> (>he didn't give a blurb for fangs)
  98. Apr 26 13:17:02 <Lesieli> "From the Ice Cave. Waaay before you came on board, when we were in Conch previously. Right Mel?"
  99. Apr 26 13:17:02 <Knox> (;_;)
  100. Apr 26 13:17:12 <Aori_Radidjiu> (Oh I didn't notice fangs MY BAD)
  101. Apr 26 13:17:37 <Melons> "I know the caves...but...uh...wait, videos?"
  102. Apr 26 13:17:39 <Mackenzie> "Wait, videos? In the ice cave? From what?"
  103. Apr 26 13:17:50 <Aori_Radidjiu> Fangs pops out, mouth ready and gnashing, then notices there's nothing going on and scowls a little. That is, until Kei shows up
  104. Apr 26 13:18:22 <Aori_Radidjiu> !
  105. Apr 26 13:18:43 <Lesieli> "Uh, yeah, the videos? Remember? From the abandoned secret lab? With little Murphy and whatnot?"
  106. Apr 26 13:19:24 <Mackenzie> Mack's turn to blank stare.
  107. Apr 26 13:19:28 <Melons> "...I have no id-...." Mel thinks back over the email a bit. "...did you find something and forget to tell us?'
  108. Apr 26 13:19:58 * Mayuri looks more confused than Lesieli
  109. Apr 26 13:20:00 <Aori_Radidjiu> The two of them run over to each other and Fangs tackles Kei and Kei's a bit :s from being tackled before he goes and tickles her off and then they both stand up and face each other, smiling, before the two of them hold hands and go to the front of the ship, right as it's starting to move, and sit down by the railing and watch the sea together~
  110. Apr 26 13:20:53 * Knox seems more interested in the display than anything because he's probably never seen monogamous pokemon before.
  111. Apr 26 13:21:03 <Lesieli> "Th-the videos? You rememb- uhhh . . ."
  112. Apr 26 13:21:11 * Lesieli queues up the show on Rammy
  113. Apr 26 13:21:49 * Lesieli mumbles as she does so "I totally showed these to you all when they finished, I'm sure of it"
  114. Apr 26 13:22:32 * Mayuri is probably less interested? Pokemon researcher parents must know something about Pokemon and bonding or something?
  115. Apr 26 13:23:46 * Melons is too focused on nerdgirl to care about silly things like true love.
  116. Apr 26 13:24:10 <Aori_Radidjiu> Rammy splits in two, its upper and bottom half moving away before a holoscreen pops up! A video begins running, of that room from the Ice Cave with all the cameras and junk scrambled together. It's clean now, though, a room with a stage set up, although this seems to be a security cam, considering it's stationed above everything.
  117. Apr 26 13:24:27 * Knox starts paying attention to the videos.
  118. Apr 26 13:24:36 * Mayuri blink
  119. Apr 26 13:29:33 <Aori_Radidjiu> Anyway, there's a woman in a black uniform, with a logo of a planet burning with purple flames, sat down next to a monitor and eating a sandwich. She's watching the entrance to the room, where a man with a similar outfit is dragging three teenagers bound by rope. There's a darkskinned girl with a ponytail, a little tomboyish, a skinny, kind of wimpy darkskinned boy, and a light-skinned
  120. Apr 26 13:29:33 <Aori_Radidjiu> boy with bleach blonde hair. The girl is scowling, and in fact, when she gets the chance she bites the man in the uniform on the hand. There's no sound, but you can tell the man's yelling at her before he decks her in the face. The darkskinned boy looks like he's about to cry, the lighter skinned one is grimacing but otherwise keeping his composure. Behind the three children is a
  121. Apr 26 13:29:34 <Aori_Radidjiu> Rattata that's walking in a bit of a...rigid motion. It makes its stops adruptly, and its eyes seem...disinterested?
  122. Apr 26 13:32:43 <Melons> "...which pokemon have we found in those caves? Cindy, Reeve, and most of the bears?"
  123. Apr 26 13:33:40 <Mackenzie> "Of those of us still here, yes."
  124. Apr 26 13:33:46 <Knox> "That must be the shadow pokemon."
  125. Apr 26 13:34:43 <Knox> "Meaning these kids are... Carlos Huani, Rhenea Huani and Franklin Palm, like Murphy mentioned."
  126. Apr 26 13:34:47 <Melons> "Mhm."
  127. Apr 26 13:35:28 <Aori_Radidjiu> The woman at the counter finishes her sandwich and gets to the camera, seeming to be making adjustments to it and making preparations. The man is leaning against the wall, grinning, his Rattata next to him staring off vacantly into space. There's a blur in front of the man and Rattata, and then an Absol is facing the two of them, raising its claw into a swipe. A second Absol pops up
  128. Apr 26 13:35:28 <Aori_Radidjiu> near the teenagers and slashes their restraints, before also turning to the man and Rattata. The children begin running off, a pale boy with black hair (in all black clothes, a bit of a goth) waving them over near the entrance. The Rattata jumps at one of the Absol, going right for a bite at its jugular before the Absol dissipates, characteristic of a Double Team copy. It's here that
  129. Apr 26 13:35:29 <Aori_Radidjiu> the video cuts out
  130. Apr 26 13:36:12 <Knox> "Well that's interesting, but basically what Murphy already sent us this morning."
  131. Apr 26 13:37:52 * Hissori (Genshuku@sux-40B3B3EF.hsd1.il.comcast.net) has joined
  132. Apr 26 13:38:00 * Lecia has quit (Ping timeout)
  133. Apr 26 13:38:09 <Melons> "Well, it DID give a clear view of their emblem."
  134. Apr 26 13:39:06 <Mackenzie> "Quite pleasant, too."
  135. Apr 26 13:40:11 <Knox> "Some people just want to see the world burn."
  136. Apr 26 13:40:20 <Melons> "Or every world, in some cases."
  137. Apr 26 13:41:07 <Melons> "Hmm...Carlos is a telepath...if he had the power then, and wasn't busy pissing himself, presumably some of the intel we have came from him...suppose we can ask more directly about it next time we're in Conch."
  138. Apr 26 13:42:26 <Aori_Radidjiu> Anyway, the boat is MOVING~
  139. Apr 26 13:42:37 <Knox> "In any case... guess we have a while ahead of us on the way to our next lead. When Fangs is done, I'm going to start putting her through the motions of learning the same pack tactics the rest of my pokemon know."
  140. Apr 26 13:43:00 <Knox> "And maybe we can start sparring Tenebrae and Mack's heracross..."
  141. Apr 26 13:43:04 <Knox> But either way."
  142. Apr 26 13:43:06 <Knox> "
  143. Apr 26 13:44:06 * Knox seems like he's interested in calling up Lecia too, but of course all of these things would slow the group down IC so Kain can wait!
  144. Apr 26 13:44:09 <Melons> "Well, I'm going to go rest up for Jackknife, for once I'd like to get there BEFORE the atrocity is committed and ready enough to crush them. I'll be in my room." She heads toward her room, composure breaking almost immediately after getting out of line of sight of anyone on deck. Withdrawal is hard.
  145. Apr 26 13:44:49 <Knox> He just nods at her as she goes.
  146. Apr 26 13:44:54 <Aori_Radidjiu> Are you guys going straight to Jackknife or stopping in Ark first? It'll take a day to go straight to Jackknife, whereas you can reach Ark in the evening.
  147. Apr 26 13:45:44 <Knox> How much time would the detour be taking us? Mack wanted to go talk to a mermaid there and... what else?
  148. Apr 26 13:45:48 <Melons> I was of the mind that Jackknife would be first since it's a total unknown and then stopping off at Ark to recover afterwards.
  149. Apr 26 13:46:27 <Mackenzie> Probably after is fine.
  150. Apr 26 13:46:27 * Lesieli is too busy pondering the e-mail and the implications presented to worry about where we're going next
  151. Apr 26 13:46:43 <Aori_Radidjiu> Okay, STRAIGHT TO JACKKNIFE
  152. Apr 26 13:48:14 <Mayuri> "So... like... Les somehow got a video of something your bosses told you about in an email just today?"
  153. Apr 26 13:48:42 <Knox> "Seems like it."
  154. Apr 26 13:48:51 <Knox> "But the email contained a lot more anyway."
  155. Apr 26 13:49:43 <Knox> "Honestly I'm not sure how much good knowing the details would do you anyway."
  156. Apr 26 13:50:08 <Knox> "Long story short, Team Aether has been trying to rewrite the world and its history and it's made the world sick."
  157. Apr 26 13:51:03 <Knox> "Team Aether also supports a number of pirates in the area, which is what this organization also combats."
  158. Apr 26 13:51:12 <Knox> "But the shadow masters here are the big fucking problem."
  159. Apr 26 13:56:02 <Mayuri> "So... like everybody, got changed by them? Or something?"
  160. Apr 26 13:56:05 * Mayuri blinks
  161. Apr 26 13:56:16 <Knox> "Some probably a lot less than others."
  162. Apr 26 13:58:14 <Knox> "I don't think EVERYTHING is different, but the email implied that PIRATES - us, that is, the organization, each were affected in some significant way."
  163. Apr 26 13:58:15 <Mackenzie> "...Also, it always boils down to 'ten years ago' with these alterations."
  164. Apr 26 13:59:31 <Knox> "I intend to at least find out what happened to me." he says, shrugging, and walks off , eventually giving Fangs some TRAINING once she's done being happy go lovey with Kei.
  165. Apr 26 14:01:30 <Knox> The training is rather difficult but fair - essentially Knox lets out each of his pokemon at once and has them take turns ganging up on a target together. The training is all about combat awareness - watching your teammates, taking advantage of openings they make, and making such advantages for them. This tends to manifest in one way or the other more strongly in some of them, of course,
  166. Apr 26 14:01:30 <Knox> but at the end of it all, Fangs has probably adjusted well to making openings for her allies, learning the Teamwork ability!
  167. Apr 26 14:02:27 <Mayuri> "Well.. I doubt I have anything to do with this. I was two."
  168. Apr 26 14:09:40 * Mackenzie is most likely found in various places on the ship, seeming restless and grumbly.
  169. Apr 26 14:11:28 <Aori_Radidjiu> Monday, May 31st, 11 AM. Mistral yells out that she's spotted Jackknife Island, and as you approach it, it looks pretty...normal. There are some pretty sheer cliffs on one side, but it's mostly just treeeeeeeeeees
  170. Apr 26 14:11:50 * Lesieli browses around the net, looking for those crazy /x/-tier stories that she saw ages ago that nobody in their right mind would believe but totally fit with what we've just learned.
  171. Apr 26 14:12:20 * Melons is probably doing the same thing when not passed out.
  172. Apr 26 14:12:49 <Knox> Knox has spent most of his time of deck, occasionally hanging out with Mel when she's been around.
  173. Apr 26 14:16:20 <Melons> Hangoutwiththeguycausingallkindsofemotionalstressohgodstayinginbeduntilwedock.
  174. Apr 26 14:17:19 <Knox> Or maybe not!
  175. Apr 26 14:18:48 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mirai hasn't been especially talkative. Auriga continues to be pretty quiet, Mistral is more than willing to talk but usually doesn't start things. Phantasia is usually in her room and quiet, in a nightgown, seems she's prone to napping. Friend guy is training his pokemon on deck every now and then, Bearington is upbeat and helping clean and maintain the deck with his bearbuddies.
  176. Apr 26 14:20:54 * Melons creeps out on deck after hearing/noticing/whatever that they've arrived.
  177. Apr 26 14:21:50 <Aori_Radidjiu> Jennifer is always figuring otu some logistics of some thing or another
  178. Apr 26 14:22:42 * Knox is just itching to get off the boat as it sails towards the innocent-looking island.
  179. Apr 26 14:23:35 <Aori_Radidjiu> And SO you all dock up a bit off a beach, and the Cap'n drops off a landing boat for you guys to row up in.
  180. Apr 26 14:23:58 * Knox hops into the landing boat!
  181. Apr 26 14:24:21 <Melons> 6d6+3 Show him what a REAL hop looks like.
  182. Apr 26 14:24:22 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Show him what a REAL hop looks like.: 26 [6d6=3,5,3,6,4,2]
  183. Apr 26 14:24:50 <Melons> 6d6+3 And then lose all cool points by immediately hopping off again with a worried look and hurrying to go find Mirai real quick.
  184. Apr 26 14:24:52 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, And then lose all cool points by immediately hopping off again with a worried look and hurrying to go find Mirai real quick.: 26 [6d6=1,5,6,2,5,4]
  185. Apr 26 14:24:52 <Knox> 3d6+5 Knox totally gets blown the fuck out
  186. Apr 26 14:24:53 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, Knox totally gets blown the fuck out: 16 [3d6=3,5,3]
  187. Apr 26 14:25:21 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mel goes up to the railing, does a flip over the railing, then blinks before doing a flip back over the railing
  188. Apr 26 14:25:26 * Mayuri runs up
  189. Apr 26 14:25:32 <Mayuri> "Eh, hey, are you leaving me here?"
  190. Apr 26 14:26:15 <Knox> "That's up to you, kid. You decided to come with us after all, so you might as well get in the boat if you don't want to share deck swabbing shifts with the bear."
  191. Apr 26 14:26:49 * Lesieli has an uncomfortable look on her face "So wait, there's no city? Not even a station? We're just gonna dock up on the beach? Heading into the wild?"
  192. Apr 26 14:27:14 <Knox> "We're in the wild every time we set sail, genius."
  193. Apr 26 14:27:21 <Aori_Radidjiu> PERCEPTION CHEEEEEEEEEEEEECKS~
  194. Apr 26 14:27:36 * Mackenzie just heads on out with his hands in his pockets, wearing his new cool as fuck coat, and sends out a Cindy.
  195. Apr 26 14:27:42 <Knox> "We're just trading the sea for the trees, and between you and me I'd rather have the trees."
  196. Apr 26 14:27:52 <Knox> 2d6
  197. Apr 26 14:27:53 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, 2d6: 8 [2d6=5,3]
  198. Apr 26 14:28:36 * Melons gives Mirai a peck and a squeeze with very little warning. "Imightactuallydiethistimeso...um...I...I do want you...um...it can wait...I guess...so...don't do something stupid like I would if I do something stupid first!...so...yeah...see ya?"
  199. Apr 26 14:28:52 <Knox> "'cuz when they show you their worst, the sea's going to win every time."
  200. Apr 26 14:29:19 <Melons> 3d6+7 Perception for when I get back to the lesser boat, which would be very soon if Mirai doesn't have much to say.
  201. Apr 26 14:29:20 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Perception for when I get back to the lesser boat, which would be very soon if Mirai doesn't have much to say.: 18 [3d6=4,4,3]
  202. Apr 26 14:29:25 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mirai blinks, then smiles. "I'll be sure to cook you some crepes when you get back!"
  203. Apr 26 14:29:45 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mel notices movement inbetween the trees, but she can't tell what it is.
  204. Apr 26 14:30:00 * castfromhp_ (castfromhp@sux-40DF0880.austin.res.rr.com) has joined
  205. Apr 26 14:30:07 <Lesieli> "But on the sea, we have a boat. A nice, clean boat with lots of modern conveniences"
  206. Apr 26 14:30:21 <Lesieli> 4d6+6 Percept
  207. Apr 26 14:30:21 <DiceMaid-9001> Lesieli, Percept: 18 [4d6=2,3,1,6]
  208. Apr 26 14:30:26 <Mackenzie> 1d6+1 Mack
  209. Apr 26 14:30:26 <DiceMaid-9001> Mackenzie, Mack: 5 [1d6=4]
  210. Apr 26 14:30:27 <Mackenzie> 3d6 Cindy
  211. Apr 26 14:30:28 <DiceMaid-9001> Mackenzie, Cindy: 8 [3d6=5,1,2]
  212. Apr 26 14:30:48 <Knox> "You the type that wigs out if they wake up with a weedle in their sleeping bag?"
  213. Apr 26 14:30:55 * castfromhp has quit (Ping timeout)
  214. Apr 26 14:31:04 <Aori_Radidjiu> Lesieli also notices the movement in the trees, and can't tell what it is. Since she has stupid high PokeEdu and I don't feel lik emaking her roll it, so she's pretty sure it wasn't a Pokemon.
  215. Apr 26 14:31:16 * castfromhp_ is now known as castfromhp
  216. Apr 26 14:31:57 <Lesieli> "Weedle? Noo, I'd love to find a cute little Weedle in my sleeping bag~ I'm more worried about other stuff, like dirt. And trees. And whatever that is"
  217. Apr 26 14:32:15 <Aori_Radidjiu> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TGuvX0G9sP0
  218. Apr 26 14:33:15 <Melons> "Well it looks like it's not desolate at least. All I really KNOW about the place is that Shadow Claw said he'd never return and that your dreams are haunted or something."
  219. Apr 26 14:33:16 <Aori_Radidjiu> So, anyway, I'm assuming everyone's piled in the boat and is RET2GO. Taking any NPCs with you? Otherwise, OFF WE GO
  220. Apr 26 14:33:27 <Knox> Knox is ready!
  221. Apr 26 14:33:54 <Melons> And be responsible for their horrible, brutal deaths? No thanks. Melons are go.
  222. Apr 26 14:33:58 <Aori_Radidjiu> (It'd probably be a good idea to NOT take any NPCs, actually, for reasons you'll find out shortly)
  223. Apr 26 14:34:07 <Mayuri> 2d6+3 perception!
  224. Apr 26 14:34:08 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, perception!: 10 [2d6=4,3]
  225. Apr 26 14:34:10 * Lesieli points at the thingy, even though it's likely there's nothing there anymore
  226. Apr 26 14:34:20 <Aori_Radidjiu> Nothing at all~
  227. Apr 26 14:34:23 <Aori_Radidjiu> Anyway, INTO THE BOAT
  228. Apr 26 14:34:26 <Aori_Radidjiu> INTO THE WATER
  229. Apr 26 14:34:28 <Aori_Radidjiu> ROW THEM OARS
  230. Apr 26 14:34:28 <Mayuri> 2d6-2 Attempt to board boat!
  231. Apr 26 14:34:28 * Knox glances, but doesn't see anything.
  232. Apr 26 14:34:29 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, Attempt to board boat!: 7 [2d6=6,3]
  233. Apr 26 14:34:32 <Aori_Radidjiu> TO SHORE
  234. Apr 26 14:34:47 <Mayuri> "Well... I suppose it can't hurt~"
  235. Apr 26 14:34:51 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mayuri tries to hop over the railing and ends up faceplanting into the boarding boat.
  236. Apr 26 14:35:01 <Knox> "Bit early in the day for bigfoot conspiracies, isn't it?" he asks Les dryly.
  237. Apr 26 14:35:12 * Mayuri @.@
  238. Apr 26 14:35:29 <Knox> He roughly pulls Mayuri up, 'helping', as they get underway.
  239. Apr 26 14:36:08 <Melons> Obviously the two big strong men are rowing, right? Right. ...right?
  240. Apr 26 14:36:26 * Mackenzie is probably rowing
  241. Apr 26 14:36:32 * Knox is definitely rowing.
  242. Apr 26 14:36:43 <Knox> If it has oars and isn't like a motorboat
  243. Apr 26 14:36:51 <Knox> Oh, Aori said it had oars.
  244. Apr 26 14:36:53 <Knox> Aoari
  245. Apr 26 14:37:01 <Mayuri> "Don't you have a ladder or something?" @.@
  246. Apr 26 14:37:14 <Aori_Radidjiu> The boat's not built for midgets
  247. Apr 26 14:37:31 <Melons> 4d6+4 Dat TK rowing help to slightly alleviate the work required for Knox and Mack?
  248. Apr 26 14:37:32 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Dat TK rowing help to slightly alleviate the work required for Knox and Mack?: 21 [4d6=5,2,4,6]
  249. Apr 26 14:37:35 <Aori_Radidjiu> To the shore we go~. The waves lap at the beach, and there's a nice, clear sky here today.
  250. Apr 26 14:37:47 * Mayuri is only, like, a foot or two shorter than an big person, right?
  251. Apr 26 14:39:46 <Melons> About eight inches shorter than Mel!
  252. Apr 26 14:41:02 <Lesieli> 1d6-2 Trying to row. I'm Helping!
  253. Apr 26 14:41:03 <DiceMaid-9001> Lesieli, Trying to row. I'm Helping!: 0 [1d6=2]
  254. Apr 26 14:41:26 <Aori_Radidjiu> The sea of trees before you is pretty thick, full of beeches and palms. It' shard to say what's inside, but...there is something FAINTLY audible. Talking? Your'e not sure
  255. Apr 26 14:42:15 * Mayuri looks at Lesi and Mel briefly
  256. Apr 26 14:43:09 * Mackenzie speaks quietly: "Cindy, be ready. Stay hidden."
  257. Apr 26 14:43:34 <Mayuri> "Maybe I can send Chiri to take a look..."
  258. Apr 26 14:43:45 <Mackenzie> 5f6+1 stealth?
  259. Apr 26 14:43:50 <Mackenzie> 5d6+1 stealth?
  260. Apr 26 14:43:50 <DiceMaid-9001> Mackenzie, stealth?: 14 [5d6=4,1,5,1,2]
  261. Apr 26 14:43:52 <Aori_Radidjiu> f
  262. Apr 26 14:44:30 <Aori_Radidjiu> Cindy creeps along, making no noise, until she steps on a single twig and it CRACKs
  263. Apr 26 14:44:31 * Knox gets out and looks around with a bit of a frown. Even he can hear that talking... so he attempts to quietly slip ahead and have a look.
  264. Apr 26 14:44:48 <Knox> 6d6+5
  265. Apr 26 14:44:49 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, 6d6+5: 30 [6d6=4,5,1,6,6,3]
  266. Apr 26 14:45:01 * Lesieli clutches fluffball while keeping an eye out for anything
  267. Apr 26 14:45:21 <Aori_Radidjiu> The voices keep going, as if they didn't hear Cindy. Moving along, Cindy and Knox find....
  268. Apr 26 14:45:51 * Melons clutches Gramps's hilt and lets Hallow out, whom is presumably effectively invisible in a sea of trees?
  269. Apr 26 14:48:10 * Mayuri checks for Chiri hat
  270. Apr 26 14:49:27 <Knox> Knox shifts between the trees silently, soon even his own friends don't know where he's gotten to. He's probably taken to a bush of poison ivy curled around other plants or something. He is deathly silent.
  271. Apr 26 14:50:55 <Melons> 3d6+2 Be one with your people, Phantump!
  272. Apr 26 14:50:56 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Be one with your people, Phantump!: 12 [3d6=2,3,5]
  273. Apr 26 14:53:11 <Aori_Radidjiu> A group of three people. One of them is a somewhat pale man in his mid-twenties, dressed like a punk rocker, his hair in a mohawk. He's holding a cigarette, staring blankly at the other two people in the clearing, both girls. One of the girls has short, bright blue, poofy hair, under a grey fedora and a blue suit, seeming to have some kind of old fashioned look? She's got a camera
  274. Apr 26 14:53:11 <Aori_Radidjiu> set up on a tripod in front of her, although it doesn't seem to be rolling. She seems to be humming something or another, rather than talking at the moment.
  275. Apr 26 14:55:26 <Break> The last is a bespectacled, tanned brunette woman in a grey hoodie, with a mechanical gauntlet hooked over her left hand, which is currently holding tightly onto a combination light and boom mic. She's currently singing some sort of silly pirate shanty - surprisingly on-key.
  276. Apr 26 14:56:36 <Aori_Radidjiu> The fedora'd girl is humming the background melody of the shanty, also on-key
  277. Apr 26 14:57:30 <Break> "Oooooh, come away, come away with the traveling show, come away with the raggle-taggle gypsy, oh~"
  278. Apr 26 14:57:44 <Knox> He relaxes a bit and backs out, before rejoining the others. "It's just a few people doing some recording."
  279. Apr 26 14:58:06 <Break> "We'll raggle-taggle here, we'll raggle-taggle there, raggle up and down taggle everywhere~"
  280. Apr 26 14:58:23 <Knox> "It's probably safe to approach."
  281. Apr 26 14:58:51 <Knox> "Not a bad singer either." he murmurs.
  282. Apr 26 14:59:04 <Lesieli> "Why would they be recording out in the middle of nowhere?"
  283. Apr 26 14:59:14 <Melons> "...that could be a cover for all we know. Granted, this IS the kind of place young, dumb kids would come to try to record spooky shit..."
  284. Apr 26 14:59:22 <Knox> "Music videos."
  285. Apr 26 14:59:56 <Melons> "...how were they dressed?"
  286. Apr 26 15:00:09 <Break> "From the North from the South from the East from the West, well, the sky is our roof and the road is our rest - no one to say yes, no one to say no, run free with the raggle-taggle gypsy, oh~"
  287. Apr 26 15:00:34 <Knox> "One dude was like some sort of punk rocker with a mohawk, there was a girl with blue hair in a fedora and suit, and a redhead in a grey hoodie with a power fist."
  288. Apr 26 15:01:10 <Mayuri> "Do you know these people~?"
  289. Apr 26 15:01:16 <Mackenzie> "Do they seem safe, Cindy?"
  290. Apr 26 15:01:19 <Knox> *brunette rather
  291. Apr 26 15:01:35 <Aori_Radidjiu> Cindy nods.
  292. Apr 26 15:01:38 <Melons> "Hmm...doesn't sound refined enough for what we've seen of Aether...doesn't sound particularly bloodthirsty for someone that may be working for them either."
  293. Apr 26 15:02:40 <Melons> "...couldn't hurt to find out if they've seen anything and give them a heads up, I suppose..."
  294. Apr 26 15:04:10 <Knox> "I don't really like the idea of just telling everyone our business either, but whatever, there's only three of them."
  295. Apr 26 15:04:20 <Knox> He proceeds back, less stealthily this time.
  296. Apr 26 15:04:23 <Break> "They locked you in a tower and threw away the key, but this tower's no match for a wag like me~ I'll be sneaking through your gate, I'll be peeking round the corner, well, I've come to take your daughter, don't ya say I didn't warn ya~"
  297. Apr 26 15:05:07 <Mackenzie> "Oh by the way, watch out because there's reality-altering lunatics on this island," Mack says sarcastically before beginning to head over.
  298. Apr 26 15:06:27 * Lesieli gets a look on her face when she hears that description "Sounds horrific, maybe we should take them out for their own good"
  299. Apr 26 15:06:29 <Lesieli> http://alturl.com/728qq
  300. Apr 26 15:07:21 <Melons> "It would be so hard to say something along the lines of 'we have reports of a dangerous pirate seeking refuge here, we recommend you leave,' but that would be so hard to say."
  301. Apr 26 15:07:35 <Melons> ...that redundancy can go ahead and stay in, it seems awkward enough.
  302. Apr 26 15:08:04 <Aori_Radidjiu> Now that you're on the approach and not hiding your presence, the punk rocker looks over to you guys as you come in, and the fedoragirl turns around and waves. "Oh, hello~!"
  303. Apr 26 15:08:38 * Mayuri blinks
  304. Apr 26 15:08:39 * Mayuri waves~
  305. Apr 26 15:08:58 <Melons> ...oh right, we have a kid, we aren't convincing anyone of anything... "...so uh...watcha doin'?"
  306. Apr 26 15:08:58 * Mackenzie gives his typical "You are in the presence of Mackenzie Frazier and he's being chill as fuck" casual smile and wave.
  307. Apr 26 15:09:21 <Break> "OH MY GOD IS THAT MACKENZIE FRAZIER"
  308. Apr 26 15:09:23 <Knox> "Sup. Heard you singing. Not bad. So this is Jackknife, huh?"
  309. Apr 26 15:09:42 <Break> The hoodie girl nearly drops the boom.
  310. Apr 26 15:09:56 <Knox> His expression falls a little. Man how did this team ever get anything done with Mack's fame?
  311. Apr 26 15:10:14 <Aori_Radidjiu> Punk rocker blows out smoke. "Yes. That is Mackenzie Frazier." He sighs. The fedoragirl claps her hands. "OOOoooooh~! I've always wanted to meet him!" She does a twirl around, nearly knocking over the tripod with her camera on it
  312. Apr 26 15:11:23 <Break> With some fumbling, she manages to keep a solid enough grasp on it, but not before turning around and knocking the fedora girl's hat clean off.
  313. Apr 26 15:11:38 * Mackenzie approaches. "I see I have fans even out here on random uncivilized islands."
  314. Apr 26 15:12:27 <Break> "Well, you see, we're not exactly from around here...."
  315. Apr 26 15:12:47 <Melons> "Oh, ignorant instead of stupid. I guess that's technically better..."
  316. Apr 26 15:12:50 <Aori_Radidjiu> The fedora girl freezes on the spot as her hat flies off, as it flies right into the face of the punk rocker, who catches it right before it hits him. "Careful."
  317. Apr 26 15:12:55 <Lesieli> "I'd hope not"
  318. Apr 26 15:13:16 <Knox> "It's not like anyone lives in this place, with it being apparently cursed and all."
  319. Apr 26 15:13:44 <Knox> "So what, are you filming a music video out here?"
  320. Apr 26 15:13:51 <Break> "A documentary, actually!"
  321. Apr 26 15:14:20 <Break> She fiddles with her pockets before pulling out a press pass, for as much good as it's going to do in the middle of an abandoned island.
  322. Apr 26 15:14:22 <Aori_Radidjiu> "On Pokemon~! The wonderful, varied Pokemon of this region~!"
  323. Apr 26 15:14:42 <Melons> "...so...you come to an island even our ghost gym leader won't return to..."
  324. Apr 26 15:14:52 <Knox> "Uh-huuuuh. You picked a hell of a place."
  325. Apr 26 15:15:00 <Aori_Radidjiu> Punk rocker pulls his cigarette out of his mouth. "And how they're different from Pokemon in other regions."
  326. Apr 26 15:15:10 <Mackenzie> "That's a sign of dedication, Melanie."
  327. Apr 26 15:15:34 <Melons> "Yes, we all know how evolution works, and not the spontaneous kind either, story of the year that...have any of you slept on this island yet?"
  328. Apr 26 15:15:57 <Aori_Radidjiu> Fedora girl takes her hat back and brandishes it. "Well, Melly-Welly, we just got here an hour ago!"
  329. Apr 26 15:16:19 <Melons> "...what?"
  330. Apr 26 15:16:53 <Knox> Snrrrrrrk.
  331. Apr 26 15:17:02 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mohawkman coughs. "Introductions?"
  332. Apr 26 15:17:11 <Mackenzie> "Actually if she gets on your nerves, you can just call her--" Assuming he gets cut off.
  333. Apr 26 15:17:18 <Knox> "Knox." he says shortly, not really giving more than that.
  334. Apr 26 15:17:25 <Mayuri> "Are these... other contesty people?" :o
  335. Apr 26 15:17:26 <Melons> His foot is stomped on, to be more specific.
  336. Apr 26 15:17:31 <Mayuri> "If they know Mack..."
  337. Apr 26 15:17:41 <Aori_Radidjiu> The man raises his cigarette. "Sigmund."
  338. Apr 26 15:17:50 <Mackenzie> "Ow! That's not fair!"
  339. Apr 26 15:17:55 <Break> "Siggy~!"
  340. Apr 26 15:17:59 <Knox> "Kid, there aren't a lot of people who don't. The guy starred in some fairly big name movies."
  341. Apr 26 15:18:05 <Aori_Radidjiu> "SiggySiggy~"
  342. Apr 26 15:18:25 <Break> "None of this Sigmund silliness. He's -always- Siggy."
  343. Apr 26 15:19:03 <Aori_Radidjiu> Fedoragirl does another twirl. "And I'm Sami~! Unjammylammysammy~!"
  344. Apr 26 15:19:31 <Break> "And I'm Riona, the leader of our little establishment here. But everyone just calls me Ree!"
  345. Apr 26 15:19:43 <Break> "Leader, techie, brains, amateur bikini model~"
  346. Apr 26 15:19:57 <Aori_Radidjiu> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IQgQLasoJ6M
  347. Apr 26 15:20:20 * Melons turns away to hide her face at the mention of amateur bikini models.
  348. Apr 26 15:20:35 <Lesieli> "Sooo, SRS eh? I'm liking them less and less" she mumbles
  349. Apr 26 15:20:43 <Knox> "You look it." he says, glancing around.
  350. Apr 26 15:20:59 <Aori_Radidjiu> "SRS? Nawwww, we actually have a group name~!" Fedoragirl nods.
  351. Apr 26 15:21:07 <Knox> "And that is?"
  352. Apr 26 15:21:19 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit's Team ReSET! Team Rectal Stick Extraction Team~!"
  353. Apr 26 15:21:32 <Break> "....Sami was the one who came up with it. Don't ask."
  354. Apr 26 15:21:32 <Lesieli> "Whut"
  355. Apr 26 15:22:05 <Aori_Radidjiu> "We won't tolerate anyone with something stuck up their butt!" As the girl says this, the punk rocker buries his face in his palm.
  356. Apr 26 15:22:05 * Melons can't keep from staring at them in incredulity. "I...you...that..."
  357. Apr 26 15:22:14 <Break> "You know. Some people have a stick up their bum from being all grouchy and stuff. We take them out!"
  358. Apr 26 15:22:17 <Knox> "Some people like that, though."
  359. Apr 26 15:22:31 <Knox> He crosses his arms.
  360. Apr 26 15:22:58 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Uh....ah..." Sami freezes
  361. Apr 26 15:23:22 <Break> "...."
  362. Apr 26 15:23:32 <Break> "They're the sticks of ignorance!"
  363. Apr 26 15:23:46 <Mayuri> "My mom wouldn't like me associating with you." :<
  364. Apr 26 15:24:30 <Break> "B-but we make educational documentaries!"
  365. Apr 26 15:24:38 <Break> "And we have cute Pokemon!"
  366. Apr 26 15:24:58 <Lesieli> "All the easier to lure poor children in, I bet"
  367. Apr 26 15:25:11 <Melons> "Aaaaaaaanyway..." Her voice is breaking almost every other word, "uh...we...this...this place really is dangerous...you should...probably move on..."
  368. Apr 26 15:25:19 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Speaking of which...where are they at the moment?" Sigmund looks around
  369. Apr 26 15:25:38 <Break> Ree clicks her tongue three times. "Foooooxtroooot!"
  370. Apr 26 15:25:51 <Knox> "You brought kids here?" he glances at Mayuri. "...Guess we can't say shit."
  371. Apr 26 15:25:57 <Aori_Radidjiu> "WOOP!" Something runs in between Mel's legs over to Sigmund. It's a shiny Wooper! "Oh, there you are, Ward."
  372. Apr 26 15:26:10 <Knox> "Oh, you meant pokemon."
  373. Apr 26 15:26:28 <Melons> OHGODCRUSHITSMASHITSTO-oh it's just an adorable thing. Heart attack averted. Maybe.
  374. Apr 26 15:26:45 <Knox> He sort of rubs his head a bit, closing his eyes. This is a bit too much.
  375. Apr 26 15:27:16 <Aori_Radidjiu> Lastly, a Mawile, with one of its 'hair' bits covering an eye, walks over to Sami, shaking its head.
  376. Apr 26 15:27:24 <Break> A Furret with a tattered top hat and a bindle tied to his shoulder scampers down a tree, with a harmonica in his mouth.
  377. Apr 26 15:27:26 <Mayuri> "But you're saying things about sticks and butts." :T
  378. Apr 26 15:28:25 <Aori_Radidjiu> Sami winks to Mayuri. "We don't mean it in a sexy way! ...unless you want us to mean it in a sexy way~!" Grin~
  379. Apr 26 15:28:35 <Lesieli> "Can we just arrest them now and let the police deal with it later?"
  380. Apr 26 15:28:40 <Melons> "Please...stop..." ;-;
  381. Apr 26 15:28:53 <Knox> "Right, well, just keep in mind this place is supposed to be cursed or something."
  382. Apr 26 15:29:13 <Break> "Which is exactly why we're investigating it!"
  383. Apr 26 15:29:23 <Break> "Not exactly a lot of places like this back home. Too urban."
  384. Apr 26 15:29:29 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Bratwurst? First? Oh, Cursed! No problem!"
  385. Apr 26 15:29:35 <Mayuri> "I'm pretty sure you're breaking some law just by saying that to me" :<
  386. Apr 26 15:29:42 <Knox> "If you just got here you probably haven't seen anything we're too interested in. Good luck with your documentary or whatever. If you're looking for how pokemon here differ from in other regions then you're probably going to bite off more than you can chew eventually."
  387. Apr 26 15:29:44 <Melons> What kind of fucking plebs can't find haunted houses in cities?
  388. Apr 26 15:31:07 <Mackenzie> "Actually, why don't we go together for a bit? This place is dangerous, after all. Might be able to pose as guests for the documentary, too."
  389. Apr 26 15:31:17 <Aori_Radidjiu> Sigmund shakes his head. "I doubt anything is worse than the forest by my home town." He shivers a little.
  390. Apr 26 15:31:33 <Knox> He tries to keep from groaning at Mack's comment.
  391. Apr 26 15:31:38 <Break> "Definitely! Having a bit of star power is definitely going to make our film stand out~"
  392. Apr 26 15:31:40 <Knox> 6d6 Guile
  393. Apr 26 15:31:41 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, Guile: 19 [6d6=2,2,4,3,5,3]
  394. Apr 26 15:31:44 <Break> "BUT"
  395. Apr 26 15:31:54 <Break> "It's not like we're totally helpless or anything!"
  396. Apr 26 15:32:14 <Break> "We all know a thing or two about getting around and battling!"
  397. Apr 26 15:32:28 <Mackenzie> "But of course. With pokemon, anyone can defend themselves nowadays."
  398. Apr 26 15:33:29 <Aori_Radidjiu> Siggy nods. "I'm the muscle here, if you didn't guess, but I wouldn't mind working with you all." Sami goes up right next to Sigmund, grinning. "Oh, do you liiiiiike them?" He just gives her a hard stare.
  399. Apr 26 15:33:41 <Break> "Well, Siggy's not only our narrator, he's also our bodyguard!"
  400. Apr 26 15:34:38 <Break> "Plus, it's not like this arm's just for show!" As if to demonstrate, Ree sets the boom mic down and presses a button on the gauntlet, extending a small barrel from the wrist, breech-loadable with darts and bolts.
  401. Apr 26 15:34:41 <Knox> "Whatever, I suppose. Danger's going to find us eventually at the rate things have been going. May as well get it on camera."
  402. Apr 26 15:34:58 <Melons> Mel has long since stopped listening to any of them, trying to recall everything she's heard as well as plan for how to handle an actual Aether attack.
  403. Apr 26 15:35:08 <Melons> *heard about Jackknife
  404. Apr 26 15:35:52 <Mayuri> "I guess they can't be worse than me, right?"
  405. Apr 26 15:37:16 <Knox> "We've been running into quite a few people doing TV shows lately." he mentions, starting to head onward. "You guys, and then that exorcist chick..."
  406. Apr 26 15:37:31 <Knox> "Maybe it's Frazier attracting them."
  407. Apr 26 15:38:31 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Oh, an exorcist girl? Is she competition? Tryin' ta' edge us out? Huh? Huh!?" Sami puffs up her face a little, clenching fists in front of her
  408. Apr 26 15:38:45 <Melons> "Moving as one group is much too vulnerable and we'd be susceptible to getting cornered, Knox and I should split off as scouts so we can both individuall watch the group from afar and keep lookout."
  409. Apr 26 15:39:31 <Mayuri> "In movies and stuff doesn't that usually end up in people getting picked off one by one though?" o.o
  410. Apr 26 15:39:47 <Melons> "If you're like Lesieli, sure."
  411. Apr 26 15:40:17 <Mackenzie> "What can I say? Cameras and I get along well."
  412. Apr 26 15:40:24 <Knox> "Right, Melanie has the right idea."
  413. Apr 26 15:40:27 <Mayuri> 3d6+3 Are these Pokemon any good?
  414. Apr 26 15:40:27 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, Are these Pokemon any good?: 10 [3d6=4,2,1]
  415. Apr 26 15:40:35 <Mayuri> 4d6+4 Are these people any good?
  416. Apr 26 15:40:35 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, Are these people any good?: 14 [4d6=6,1,1,2]
  417. Apr 26 15:40:58 <Aori_Radidjiu> You have no idea if the Pokemon are any good, but they sure are cute!
  418. Apr 26 15:41:26 <Aori_Radidjiu> The people...well, Siggy looks lik ehe knows what he's doing? but that's pretty obvious. And Ree's mecharm might be good?
  419. Apr 26 15:41:27 <Mayuri> (So, Cute stat > 4d6? ;O)
  420. Apr 26 15:41:41 <Aori_Radidjiu> (Oh I didn't mean statwise)
  421. Apr 26 15:41:52 <Aori_Radidjiu> (I meant more as species)
  422. Apr 26 15:42:12 <Aori_Radidjiu> (since wooper is the omega-dorb)
  423. Apr 26 15:42:35 <Melons> "Let's see...we should go ahead and sweep across to the other side of the island...I'll stay in the trees on the group's left, and Knox can take the right?"
  424. Apr 26 15:43:00 <Mayuri> (I figured it'd totally be in-character for a bad roll to mean trying to judge contest stats instead of combat stats ;p)
  425. Apr 26 15:43:20 <Knox> "No problem there. If I encounter a problem, you guys will know it. If I encounter bullshit, just watch for smoke."
  426. Apr 26 15:43:45 <Mayuri> "I'm sticking with everybody else." :<
  427. Apr 26 15:43:50 <Knox> "Do that."
  428. Apr 26 15:43:58 <Knox> "We're not straying far."
  429. Apr 26 15:44:05 <Knox> "It's just a lookout tactic."
  430. Apr 26 15:44:17 <Mayuri> 3d6+3 Judge contest potential!
  431. Apr 26 15:44:18 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, Judge contest potential!: 8 [3d6=2,1,2]
  432. Apr 26 15:44:33 <Aori_Radidjiu> noclue
  433. Apr 26 15:45:11 <Melons> 6d6+3 Climb them trees.
  434. Apr 26 15:45:12 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Climb them trees.: 23 [6d6=5,3,3,5,1,3]
  435. Apr 26 15:45:27 <Aori_Radidjiu> LEAPING TREES IN A SINGLE BOUND
  436. Apr 26 15:45:35 <Knox> 6d6+5 Stealthing them bushes
  437. Apr 26 15:45:35 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, Stealthing them bushes: 26 [6d6=2,1,6,4,3,5]
  438. Apr 26 15:46:04 <Mayuri> 6d6+4 Just be cute while following along then! D:
  439. Apr 26 15:46:05 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, Just be cute while following along then! D:: 23 [6d6=2,3,3,5,5,1]
  440. Apr 26 15:46:07 <Lesieli> "Fine, you guys just go do whatever and leave us with /them/. So, where to now?"
  441. Apr 26 15:46:20 <Mayuri> "Uh... forward?'
  442. Apr 26 15:46:22 <Aori_Radidjiu> You are the bush, the bush belongs to you, it is you, you are one and the same. You dive into the bush
  443. Apr 26 15:47:00 <Knox> This is probably where Knox does something silly like taking off his shirt and using rune master powers to shift his tattoos into camouflaging patterns
  444. Apr 26 15:47:07 <Mackenzie> "did you guys have anyplace specific you wanted to go?"
  445. Apr 26 15:47:27 <Knox> But either way, he sticks close, just keeping an eye out on the surrounding area as the group decides where they're heading.
  446. Apr 26 15:49:26 <Melons> Melanie isn't particularly inclined to wait around and begins navigating from tree to tree, toward the other side of the island.
  447. Apr 26 15:49:29 <Aori_Radidjiu> All right, so, Knox&Mel, roll me percepts
  448. Apr 26 15:49:34 <Melons> 3d6+7
  449. Apr 26 15:49:35 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, 3d6+7: 18 [3d6=4,1,6]
  450. Apr 26 15:49:56 <Break> "We were sticking close to the shore for now for opening narration while trying to get the lighting just right, and slowly moving inland to keep things safe."
  451. Apr 26 15:51:04 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mel, from your LOVELY TREEVIEW you can see that there's a pack of Cranidos trying to steal EGGS from a group of Bellossom and Vileplume
  452. Apr 26 15:52:33 <Knox> 2d6+1 let's spend an AP
  453. Apr 26 15:52:34 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, let's spend an AP: 7 [2d6=2,4]
  454. Apr 26 15:54:11 <Aori_Radidjiu> Knox finds...a Slaking and a bunch of Slakoths slacking off and sleeping in the bushes and trees.
  455. Apr 26 15:54:48 <Knox> Let's avoid those.
  456. Apr 26 15:55:15 <Knox> I mean, I really like Slaking but goddamn not worth getting into a fight over right now.
  457. Apr 26 15:55:29 * Melons shrugs and moves on.
  458. Apr 26 15:56:06 <Aori_Radidjiu> You guys gonna' let the group know to avoid them?
  459. Apr 26 15:56:41 <Knox> Yep.
  460. Apr 26 15:56:48 <Melons> Anyone that walks into what is an obvious stand off between two groups of pokemon is just dumb.
  461. Apr 26 15:57:01 * Knox slips back at a time to let them know to let sleeping slakings lie.
  462. Apr 26 15:57:44 <Aori_Radidjiu> Siggy and Sami nod, although Sami seems to be jotting down NOTES on the locations you gave. Oh dear.
  463. Apr 26 15:58:58 <Break> "Eeeaaaasy peasy!"
  464. Apr 26 15:59:52 <Melons> 6d6+4 Come to think of it, has Mel heard anything specific about Jackknife OTHER than what happens when you sleep?
  465. Apr 26 15:59:53 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Come to think of it, has Mel heard anything specific about Jackknife OTHER than what happens when you sleep?: 23 [6d6=3,4,5,4,2,1]
  466. Apr 26 16:01:09 <Aori_Radidjiu> From what Mel remembers, it's pretty innocuous during the day, but turns into murderland at night.
  467. Apr 26 16:01:33 <Aori_Radidjiu> There are lots of vicious nocturnal pokemon here, and there's also the problem of the dreams
  468. Apr 26 16:02:21 * Melons texts the rest of the actual crew about that.
  469. Apr 26 16:04:56 <Aori_Radidjiu> Anyway, continuing ooooon
  470. Apr 26 16:05:06 <Aori_Radidjiu> Perception from Mel, Knox, and then everyone else
  471. Apr 26 16:05:11 <Melons> 3d6+7
  472. Apr 26 16:05:11 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, 3d6+7: 19 [3d6=6,1,5]
  473. Apr 26 16:06:09 <Mayuri> ((Including Chiri hat?))
  474. Apr 26 16:06:19 <Knox> 2d6
  475. Apr 26 16:06:20 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, 2d6: 3 [2d6=1,2]
  476. Apr 26 16:06:41 <Lesieli> 4d6+6 Percept when ready
  477. Apr 26 16:06:42 <DiceMaid-9001> Lesieli, Percept when ready: 25 [4d6=2,6,5,6]
  478. Apr 26 16:07:01 <Mayuri> 2d6+3 At least I don't need glasses?
  479. Apr 26 16:07:01 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, At least I don't need glasses?: 6 [2d6=2,1]
  480. Apr 26 16:08:24 <Mackenzie> 1d6+1
  481. Apr 26 16:08:25 <DiceMaid-9001> Mackenzie, 1d6+1: 6 [1d6=5]
  482. Apr 26 16:08:27 <Mackenzie> 3d5
  483. Apr 26 16:08:27 <DiceMaid-9001> Mackenzie, 3d5: 7 [3d5=2,3,2]
  484. Apr 26 16:08:30 <Mackenzie> ...
  485. Apr 26 16:08:32 <Mackenzie> 3d6
  486. Apr 26 16:08:33 <DiceMaid-9001> Mackenzie, 3d6: 6 [3d6=2,1,3]
  487. Apr 26 16:09:11 <Mayuri> 2d6+1 Chiri dun need glasses either!
  488. Apr 26 16:09:11 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, Chiri dun need glasses either!: 7 [2d6=4,2]
  489. Apr 26 16:09:14 <Mayuri> (this is why)
  490. Apr 26 16:09:15 <Mayuri> (we have lookouts)
  491. Apr 26 16:09:40 <Lesieli> (Yet one of the lookouts got the lowest roll)
  492. Apr 26 16:09:48 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mel spots a group of Girafarig grazing, with a few Pachirisu playing nearby. Knox doesn't see shit.
  493. Apr 26 16:11:37 <Aori_Radidjiu> Lesieli notices some upcoming Buneary being terrorized by Poochyena.
  494. Apr 26 16:12:02 <Lesieli> D:
  495. Apr 26 16:12:08 <Melons> Yep...shit is boring during the day.
  496. Apr 26 16:14:11 * Lesieli temporarily forgets the whole stealth thing and runs up to the Pooches, trying to drive them off "No, stop that! Scram! Shoo!"
  497. Apr 26 16:14:45 <Aori_Radidjiu> The Pooches bare their teeth at you, they wanna' fight! All the Buneary cluster up behind you
  498. Apr 26 16:15:23 * Lesieli finds some Poochy weakness to exploit on them
  499. Apr 26 16:15:23 * Melons returns to the group with a sigh. "Seems like it'll be pretty tame until nightfall. So I guess if you're into the whole strolling through the park and finding adorable stuff thing, keep at it....as far as the dream thing goes...well it's probably dangerous to test that at night...so we should do that now..."
  500. Apr 26 16:15:27 <Lesieli> 6d6+6 Intimidate
  501. Apr 26 16:15:27 <DiceMaid-9001> Lesieli, Intimidate: 23 [6d6=1,2,4,5,2,3]
  502. Apr 26 16:16:23 <Melons> Uwut.
  503. Apr 26 16:16:26 <Lesieli> Like, growling in a specific way or something, I dunno. Probably really stupid and ridiculous.
  504. Apr 26 16:16:48 <Melons> Oh, Poke edu.
  505. Apr 26 16:16:51 <Aori_Radidjiu> Lesieli knows all about Pokebody language and growls back at the Poochyena in a way mirroring them, but even MORE intimidating
  506. Apr 26 16:16:56 <Aori_Radidjiu> They scatter off
  507. Apr 26 16:16:58 <Lesieli> Hehehe~
  508. Apr 26 16:17:12 * Mayuri blinks
  509. Apr 26 16:17:18 <Mayuri> "Where'd she go now!" >.<
  510. Apr 26 16:17:25 <Lesieli> "And that's why you keep me around~"
  511. Apr 26 16:17:36 <Knox> "Guess so." he says, somewhat disappointed when he comes back.
  512. Apr 26 16:18:05 <Aori_Radidjiu> Sami clasps her hand. "Does that mean we're a-ok to film in the day~?"
  513. Apr 26 16:18:07 <Aori_Radidjiu> *hands
  514. Apr 26 16:18:34 <Knox> "Yep."
  515. Apr 26 16:18:37 <Mayuri> "Er.. What kinda cute Pokemon would you find in a place like this?" :o
  516. Apr 26 16:18:44 <Melons> "Sure, probably, whatever. Well..." She flumps by a tree. "Assuming the rest of you might have a hard time getting to sleep at a time like this...I'll go and check it out!" She pulls out the tranq Gran gave her and doth /use it on herself.
  517. Apr 26 16:18:53 <Lesieli> "There you guys go. Be safe now!" She pats the Bunnies on the head.
  518. Apr 26 16:19:03 <Lesieli> *Pats their heads then returns
  519. Apr 26 16:19:23 <Melons> "Oh, someone should probably protect me or something I guess? I have no idea how long this even works."
  520. Apr 26 16:19:44 * Knox sits nearby. "'kay."
  521. Apr 26 16:19:47 <Mayuri> "Aren't you the one with super-strong ghosts?" :<
  522. Apr 26 16:21:05 <Aori_Radidjiu> Well, as you all set up a camp or some such, I'm gonna' call the session for now. We can handle DREAMS and NIGHT later~
  523. Apr 26 16:23:15 <Aori_Radidjiu> </session>
