  1. May 24 12:09:44 <Aori_Radidjiu> Tuesday, June 1st, NOON'O'CLOCK. The sun hangs high in the sky, and the island is much more upbeat, especially since all the Pokemon in the cave spent the night mostly unscathed! http://www.listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=1_EiJnVCacM Despite a rough night, the crew is gathered on the island, mostly there (Lesieli is still sleeping in from the night before, seems waking up as a god is
  2. May 24 12:09:44 <Aori_Radidjiu> exhausting) despite a short absence of Melanie. Team ReSET is here, getting some footage of the local Pokemon in all their current upbeatness. Ree is sleeping in a bit, but Sigmund and Sami are right on to filming. Sigmund is currently having a "conversation" with the Shuckle from last night, with Sami filming.
  3. May 24 12:11:36 <Knox> Knox has been sitting near the entrance to the cave since he woke up a bit before the others. He's mostly been keeping an eye out and trying to remain looking stoic.
  4. May 24 12:12:40 * castfromhp (castfromhp@sux-785131EB.hsd1.il.comcast.net) has joined
  5. May 24 12:13:14 * castfromhp_ has quit (Ping timeout)
  6. May 24 12:13:56 <Aori_Radidjiu> Oh and as a (not so irrelevant) aside, it seems some of the crew on the ship have come off to spend the day here, they're getting a little sick of being cooped up on the ship! Mirai, Auriga, Phantasia, Mistral, and...whatever that guy's name is are here!
  7. May 24 12:15:02 * Melons has apparently returned to wrapping every inch of skin in clothing, and stands watching ReSET with her head bobbing back and forth, face making it pretty obvious she's weighing two options.
  8. May 24 12:16:27 <Knox> "So how was -your- sleep." he says to whoever of the crew approaches.
  9. May 24 12:16:56 <Knox> (Meaning one of MAPM)
  10. May 24 12:17:43 * Mayuri is busy grooming Hanako and/or Chiri, and generally taking care of things you take care of when you wake up!
  11. May 24 12:19:41 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Here we have the 'leader' of this local group of Pokemon, this Shuckle here with the sunglasses, and he has made it his personal duty, along with his Slaking friend who is asleep at the moment, to safeguard the weaker, younger Pokemon against the scene we saw last night. My man." He makes a motion to give a high-five to the Shuckle, who raises a tentacle to meet it. "Do you like your
  12. May 24 12:19:41 <Aori_Radidjiu> job? Is it tiring to work on this all night? I actually am surprised to see you this awake during the day." The Shuckle lowers its glasses, making its eyes visible to the camera, grinning. It utters a single syllable. "Shucks."
  13. May 24 12:21:55 <Aori_Radidjiu> Knox! Mirai shrugs. "I had a dream about a bunch of Bunnelby trying to fight and eat a giant Oddish. It was pretty cute!" Auriga scrunches her face. "I think I had a bad dream, I burnt myself awake. Ruined another shirt."
  14. May 24 12:22:29 <Mackenzie> Mack is standing somewhere in the cave, somewhat apart from everyone, and studying himself with a confused look.
  15. May 24 12:23:04 <Aori_Radidjiu> Phantasia grins. "Why, I never sleep, I am a being of the night, you know~!" What'shisbucket shrugs. Mistral tilts her head. "I dreamt...I don't remember."
  16. May 24 12:24:26 <Melons> Mel turns towards the general center of mass of the crew, addressing no one in particular and not caring if she's heard on ReSET's recording. "Hey, is it better or worse to let them actually release this documentary? I mean, the island is still reeling from its losses, but, unlike last time with the gods, there's no huge draw here. I can't decide if drawing Aether and shadow pokemon out into the light or would be for better or w
  17. May 24 12:24:26 <Melons> orse..."
  18. May 24 12:24:26 <Aori_Radidjiu> Phantasia, for reference since she doesn't pop up much, looks like http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=744573
  19. May 24 12:25:27 * Mayuri listens into the others, without specifically commenting yet
  20. May 24 12:25:32 <Knox> He stretches. "If they release all of that footage with minimal editing they're going to make themselves a target. I figure we point them Lecia's way and let things sort themselves out."
  21. May 24 12:26:03 <Aori_Radidjiu> Sigmund keeps talking to the Shuckle as if nobody is saying anything, but Sami turns around and gives a scowl at Mel and makes a shushing motion.
  22. May 24 12:26:53 <Mackenzie> "...It doesn't matter." Mack is not saying this in a defeatist way, but rather in a matter-of-fact fashion.
  23. May 24 12:27:34 <Melons> "True...and Lecia and Murphy actually know the public well enough that they could probably figure out how to use the footage." Satisfied with that, she slinks over and wraps herself around Mirai.
  24. May 24 12:28:03 <Melons> She smells quite pleasant too.
  25. May 24 12:28:37 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mirai smooothly lets you put your arms around her and pats you on the head a little. "Aww, did you miss me that much yesterday~?"
  26. May 24 12:28:59 * Knox pops his neck. "So what are we doing about this place for the meantime? Definitely some shit going on. Do we risk scouting or should we report a positive on activity and go about our merry business?"
  27. May 24 12:29:08 <Aori_Radidjiu> Sniffsniff. "Did you...start wearing perfume? Hmmm?"
  28. May 24 12:30:02 <Mayuri> "Isn't Shadow Pokemon stuff, like, urban legend all over anyway? People'd probably think it's, like, a hoax or something..."
  29. May 24 12:30:08 <Melons> "Erm..n-no...it must be...my...new deoderant!" She quickly changes subject without any subtlety, "You uh...you'd still like me if I turned into a big scary monster, right?"
  30. May 24 12:30:46 <Aori_Radidjiu> "If you turned into something like Reeve you'd probably be adorable like him~"
  31. May 24 12:31:14 <Melons> "But then I wouldn't be able to close my mouth...how would I eat?! ...how do living Gyaradoses even eat..."
  32. May 24 12:32:13 <Aori_Radidjiu> "That's...hmm! No idea!"
  33. May 24 12:32:48 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Maybe you should ask Lesieli, is she awake? Has she found a way to sleep in even without an isolated room to pretend not to exist in~?" She giggles a little.
  34. May 24 12:33:25 <Knox> "She's probably earned a bit of a nap."
  35. May 24 12:33:49 <Melons> "Oh, no, she finally ascended into real godhood. Anyway..." Mel turns toward Mayuri...shifting Mirai that direction in the process. "They kind of are, but what keeps urban legends myth is obscure evidence. It would be quite a stretch to say these random ass kids with their documentary were able to create graphics real-looking enough to fake this."
  36. May 24 12:34:07 <Melons> Ass-kids.
  37. May 24 12:34:17 <Melons> Heh.
  38. May 24 12:34:23 <Aori_Radidjiu> She raises an eyebrow. "Oh? What even- Godhood? Huuuuuh." She tilts her head a little.
  39. May 24 12:34:43 <Melons> Speaking of god-things, you awake?
  40. May 24 12:35:21 <Knox> "Yeah, about that, can we back up? You told me a little before but I want to hear the whole deal on Lesieli."
  41. May 24 12:35:27 <Aori_Radidjiu> [I'm awake when you are~! Until I merge with you completely and unabstract, I don't really need to sleep.]
  42. May 24 12:36:13 <Melons> So..if we merged, would I not be able to talk to you anymore? "Alright, so I guess from the beginning she'd always kind of said something about being Mele, but of course she sounded like some dorky kid that never gets out and forgets to draw the line between reality and imagination."
  43. May 24 12:37:14 <Melons> "And then there was one day, back with the original version of our crew, we split the group in half, where one half went to do contest shit," Mel's voice breaks a little at the mention of contests,"And the rest of us just kinda started looking around to see what we could find, chancing upon some creepy occult shit shop."
  44. May 24 12:37:20 <Mackenzie> After lengthy and careful consideration. Mack uses Aqua Jet on a nearby wall. "Mmm hmm, just as I thought. I'm still dreaming."
  45. May 24 12:37:37 <Aori_Radidjiu> [You'd be me, there'd be no real point~]
  46. May 24 12:38:10 * Knox pinches Mack for good measure while listening.
  47. May 24 12:38:11 * Mayuri gives Mel a weird look at her reaction to contests :T
  48. May 24 12:38:27 * Melons hops a little from the crash of the attack. "F-Fuck, I guess you're actually something weird too...anyway..."
  49. May 24 12:39:13 <Mayuri> (i have no idea how aqua jet is actually flavored)
  50. May 24 12:39:35 <Aori_Radidjiu> (A really fast tackle that causes a SPLASH)
  51. May 24 12:39:48 <Melons> (And things aren't generally supposed to randomly spawn water)
  52. May 24 12:40:08 <Knox> "I'm following you." he says to Mel. "Then?"
  53. May 24 12:40:11 <Aori_Radidjiu> (Yep, but Mack's a weirdo)
  54. May 24 12:40:25 <Mayuri> (Mel randomly spawns ghost stuff)
  55. May 24 12:40:27 <Mayuri> (Without being dead)
  56. May 24 12:40:30 <Knox> Knox doesn't seem to react much to the aqua jet.
  57. May 24 12:40:52 * Mayuri looks around and probably fails to notice the cause of the noise.
  58. May 24 12:41:21 <Melons> That sounds terribly lonely...in a fucked up way. "So apparently there's this spirit incense shit, so me, Lesieli, and that Mako dude I'm pretty sure I got killed all decided to try some. We all had pretty fucking different experiences, and I didn't quite piece it together until later as a result of various comments she's made that...I do believe she saw this...thing in the dream world that's kind of like a repository of things
  59. May 24 12:41:21 <Melons> that have happened for a given world, or things that could have happened, like alternate realities and shit. Anyway, I found that place later when I was...um..." Mel freezes up with Mirai near. "...well you know..."
  60. May 24 12:41:54 <Mackenzie> Mack gets pinched, and then immediately much more confused. "So... I still have the powers I had from my dream... But I got pinched and didn't wake up..."
  61. May 24 12:42:21 <Mackenzie> He's not talking to anyone in particular now.
  62. May 24 12:42:43 <Knox> "Alternate realities, huh? Shit, that would have been interesting to look through."
  63. May 24 12:43:15 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mirai smiles. "Hmmmmm~?"
  64. May 24 12:43:50 <Melons> "There's this Mother Swanna lady I guess that like guards or watches or just dicks around by it...so as it turns out, Mele, the Wakinese god. Wakinoan. Whateveroan. Mele, as should be no surprise by now, does in fact exist, and as a result of some dickery, probably Aether-related, had been corrupted. So as a means to purge the corruption, it was kind of like hibernation or something, which is how we ended up with Lesieli. And as
  65. May 24 12:43:50 <Melons> shit gets cleansed, I believe she returns to full strength. Which...unfortunately...may mean whenever we're done with this, Lesieli goes...wherever the fuck non-dream gods god. I don't know how that part works."
  66. May 24 12:43:52 <Aori_Radidjiu> Phantasia has sat herself down in some shade. She discretely wipes some sweat from her face every now and then, trying to do it when nobody's looking.
  67. May 24 12:44:33 <Melons> -d
  68. May 24 12:45:17 <Aori_Radidjiu> *discreetly, she isn't doing any maths or really minute things
  69. May 24 12:45:48 <Mayuri> "This sounds like a fairy tale or something..."
  70. May 24 12:46:08 <Mayuri> ".. er.. the part that isn't about Lesieli being a goddess."
  71. May 24 12:46:29 <Knox> "We heard about Mother Swanna before in that dossier. This pretty much -is- a literal fairy tale, but not the kind with rainbows or ponies, this is some fucked up Brothers Grimm bullshit."
  72. May 24 12:47:02 <Knox> "...ᵒᶰᶫʸ ᵏᶦᶰᵈ ʷᵒʳᵗʰ ʳᵉᵃᵈᶦᶰᵍ ᵃᶰʸʷᵃʸ..." he mutters.
  73. May 24 12:47:13 <Mackenzie> "So... Either I'm somehow a dream projection now, or the ability I have in my dreams is now accessible and usable in the waking world..."
  74. May 24 12:48:13 <Knox> "Frazier, man, we witnessed a goddess waking the fuck up. I don't doubt there's some kind of residual power thing going on too. I feel different myself." he shrugs.
  75. May 24 12:48:17 <Melons> "So that's like what Les is...and I guess Mack is like...a marauding dream hero or some bullshit. I don't know, he sounds like every fairy tale's hero."
  76. May 24 12:49:14 <Melons> "And then of course there's Knox, who just doesn't bathe enough...and the kid..." Mel squints at Mayuri. "...I still don't know what the fuck to make of the kid.
  77. May 24 12:49:15 <Melons> "
  78. May 24 12:49:31 * Mayuri crosses her arms
  79. May 24 12:49:38 <Mackenzie> "...Huh? Oh, hi Knox." CAPTAIN OBSERVANT
  80. May 24 12:49:57 <Mayuri> "I think staying around doing the same thing all the time is boring, so."
  81. May 24 12:50:03 * Mayuri ignores Knox's implications
  82. May 24 12:50:36 <Knox> "Doesn't bathe enough?" he snickers at some sort of joke that's only really apparent to him - mainly how Mel was snuggled up to him when he woke up.
  83. May 24 12:51:06 <Knox> "Anyway, thanks for the recap."
  84. May 24 12:51:07 <Melons> "No, I mean like, your dreams...or at least part of your dreams...or at least your bird...is sentient in dream form...that's not common, from what I've seen. You could also be another goddamn god and we wouldn't know."
  85. May 24 12:52:06 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Huuuuh." Mirai's trying to follow all of this. "You guys had some weird dreams, huh?"
  86. May 24 12:52:21 * Mayuri blinks
  87. May 24 12:52:25 <Knox> "More than a little."
  88. May 24 12:52:29 <Mackenzie> "Melanie had some bad dreams, and dragged us into it."
  89. May 24 12:52:31 <Mayuri> "I thought she said that's just how recurring dreams work and stuff..."
  90. May 24 12:53:09 <Melons> "Um...well...Mirai...long story short...th- HEY! THAT WAS THE ISLAND, THAT'S WHAT WE WERE FUCKING HER- ...um...they were less dreams we had, and more dreams took us to an alternate dimension that is the nexus between all dimensions?" That makes sense, right?
  91. May 24 12:54:12 <Aori_Radidjiu> "'Fucking her'?" Polite smile.
  92. May 24 12:54:31 <Melons> "...here."
  93. May 24 12:54:57 <Melons> "Not her here, her was supposed to be he- fuck now I sound illiterate..." ;-;
  94. May 24 12:55:08 <Mackenzie> "Everyone was fucking her. Even the bear." Momentary Spearow voice.
  95. May 24 12:55:27 <Knox> "Hey, look, a topic change. Speaking of what we came here, for, I'll ask my question again."
  96. May 24 12:55:37 <Aori_Radidjiu> And now Mirai cracks up laughing. "I was just messing with you, Melanie~"
  97. May 24 12:55:51 <Melons> Ohgodwhywouldheevensaythat. Mel hides her face in Mirai's shoulder or something.
  98. May 24 12:55:52 <Knox> "Are we going to scout for Aether or not?"
  99. May 24 12:56:37 <Knox> "Technically we could just bail and confirm the activity in the area after the shit we experienced yesterday, but..."
  100. May 24 12:56:46 * Mackenzie blinks. "Huh, I guess it comes with the personality still, too. Time to get that out of here." He focuses on losing his Spearowness.
  101. May 24 12:57:06 <Knox> Stillll deadpan expression at Mack's line.
  102. May 24 12:57:07 <Aori_Radidjiu> Just casting it off, or trading it in for a new one~?
  103. May 24 12:57:30 <Melons> Melanie's head pops back up at the mention of Aether, considerable confusion on her face for a bit. "...oh...right..that's what I sai- that's what we were here for...yeah, we should probably finish exploring. Should be pretty safe."
  104. May 24 12:57:38 <Mackenzie> Just ditching it~
  105. May 24 12:57:57 <Aori_Radidjiu> Poof! It's ditched!
  106. May 24 12:58:32 <Mayuri> 5d6+3 There's totally no gods or goddesses with a type anything like Normal/Fairy... right?
  107. May 24 12:58:33 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, There's totally no gods or goddesses with a type anything like Normal/Fairy... right?: 17 [5d6=1,2,4,6,1]
  108. May 24 12:58:41 <Knox> "If there is some full fledged encampment here we don't want to just blindly assault it, probably..." he thinks.
  109. May 24 12:58:55 <Aori_Radidjiu> You feel a part of your mind waaaaay in the back just blank up. It feels like it could be filled in wiht something else, though!
  110. May 24 12:59:14 <Melons> 6d6+4 Pleb tier occulter don't even know gods can just be drastically different types than one expects because they ain't gotta explain shit
  111. May 24 12:59:16 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Pleb tier occulter don't even know gods can just be drastically different types than one expects because they ain't gotta explain shit: 24 [6d6=1,1,6,5,5,2]
  112. May 24 12:59:36 <Knox> 4d6 Knox totally raised his Occult last level
  113. May 24 12:59:37 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, Knox totally raised his Occult last level: 14 [4d6=6,3,2,3]
  114. May 24 13:00:13 <Mayuri> "Attacking evil people's bases sounds a little scarier than what you usually talk about..."
  115. May 24 13:00:44 <Knox> "It depends entirely on the size of the base. ...which we won't know unless we do some scouting."
  116. May 24 13:00:47 <Mackenzie> "Note to self: try to keep adopted personalities explicitly into dreams and important situations or battles." Mack acts like he's caught up with everyone finally. "So, are we going to look for an Aether base or something before we leave?"
  117. May 24 13:00:51 <Aori_Radidjiu> I'm not even sure what Knox is rolling for (clarification on specifics would be nice~) but Mayuri has heard that there are some minor "gods" that are just really powerful Pokemon, and it's quite possible for a Clefable to be one.
  118. May 24 13:01:07 <Knox> I was just rolling for shiggles, not actually asking for anything.
  119. May 24 13:01:45 <Aori_Radidjiu> Melanie got the feeling that Lesieli, despite turning into a pokemon, was a different type than that Pokemon normally is, so it's pretty easy to believe that gods can have pretty much any types!
  120. May 24 13:02:06 <Knox> "That's the idea." he says to Mack.
  121. May 24 13:02:16 <Knox> "Just scouting though. Getting a feel for what's here."
  122. May 24 13:02:23 <Melons> "Pretty sure the island was just used as a hunting grounds to hone shadowmons. Might be some cameras, assuming they weren't already destroyed. Or it's possible this is just where released shadowmons ended up, in which case we'd find nothing. Except maybe some cool caves...Ooh, and cool caves can have cool crystals!"
  123. May 24 13:02:33 <Mackenzie> "Good, good."
  124. May 24 13:02:50 <Mackenzie> 1d6+2 Would it be a much smarter idea to just ask Shuckle?
  125. May 24 13:02:51 <DiceMaid-9001> Mackenzie, Would it be a much smarter idea to just ask Shuckle?: 4 [1d6=2]
  126. May 24 13:03:03 <Aori_Radidjiu> Why would you ask a Shuckle? Pokemon are dumb.
  127. May 24 13:03:05 <Melons> Don't fuckle with Shuckle. And all questions are definitely fuckling.
  128. May 24 13:03:08 <Mayuri> (Mayuri probably thinks that all Victinis are by default Fairy type now... someone with elemental connection [fairy]'d totally be able to pick up on that, right?)
  129. May 24 13:03:24 <Aori_Radidjiu> (Yeah, she could pick up on Les being Fairy, but not Normal.)
  130. May 24 13:03:37 <Melons> (Even Mack can tell Les isn't normal)
  131. May 24 13:03:47 <Knox> "Anyway, someone catch up Team Risotto on the whole 'be careful about what they do with that shit' thing and make sure Lecia helps them sort shit out."
  132. May 24 13:04:25 * Knox gets up, stretching.
  133. May 24 13:04:33 <Aori_Radidjiu> Sigmund and Sami have finished filming whatever with Shuckle,a nd Sami comes over. "Risotto? Eeeeh it's usually a bit too mushy for my tastes!"
  134. May 24 13:05:11 <Melons> "Hey, dingdongs, you're going to be joining us on our boat for a while if you want to even have a hope of pretending you're safe. We'll get you to some members of our group in Ark who can safely get back to...well actually, if you play your cards right with Lecia, you could probably get pretty comfortable jobs doing the same kind of thing for her."
  135. May 24 13:05:28 <Melons> Team ReTARD, of course, is referred to by 'dingdongs.'
  136. May 24 13:05:47 <Mayuri> (That's a mean name! D:)
  137. May 24 13:06:39 <Aori_Radidjiu> Sigmund lights a cigarette and takes a drag, then blows some smoke out. "Lecia? Oh, don't worry about her. She's uh, kind of our boss." Sami jumps up and looks like she's about to spill out a long meandering sentence but Sigmund puts a finger to her lips. "Shhhh."
  138. May 24 13:06:58 <Melons> "...that explains more than it should have."
  139. May 24 13:07:06 <Knox> "Oh, you're already in the know."
  140. May 24 13:07:26 <Knox> "Fair enough, nothing more needs to be said then."
  141. May 24 13:07:51 <Melons> "Alright, don't get shot, fuck off, all those other cordial farewells." The 'fuck off' part is actually clearly said in jest.
  142. May 24 13:08:06 <Melons> 1d6-2 But I guess the decree to which it's considered charming is probably pretty terrible
  143. May 24 13:08:07 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, But I guess the decree to which it's considered charming is probably pretty terrible: 3 [1d6=5]
  144. May 24 13:08:44 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Yup." Sami looks like she's about to faint from pent up SOMETHING and Siggy just shakes his head. "Calm down a little, I mean, they're working for her too."
  145. May 24 13:08:50 <Knox> "It was fun." he says.
  146. May 24 13:08:59 <Knox> 6d6 guile
  147. May 24 13:08:59 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, guile: 24 [6d6=2,3,6,4,5,4]
  148. May 24 13:09:17 <Melons> 1d6-2 Pffft, I can see right th- WHY DO YOU HATE ME?
  149. May 24 13:09:18 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Pffft, I can see right th- WHY DO YOU HATE ME?: 3 [1d6=5]
  150. May 24 13:09:26 <Mackenzie> 1d6+2 Is there any logical conclusion that might be gleaned from the fact that they are a team and are also employed in some capacity by Lecia?
  151. May 24 13:09:27 <DiceMaid-9001> Mackenzie, Is there any logical conclusion that might be gleaned from the fact that they are a team and are also employed in some capacity by Lecia?: 6 [1d6=4]
  152. May 24 13:09:47 <Aori_Radidjiu> They don't have a PIRATES ship, so they're not THAT, they're obviously something else.
  153. May 24 13:10:13 <Mayuri> 4d6+4 Even though I know nothing about PIRATES, rolls away!
  154. May 24 13:10:14 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, Even though I know nothing about PIRATES, rolls away!: 16 [4d6=1,3,2,6]
  155. May 24 13:10:16 <Knox> "So, ladies, actors, children, and beings of the night, we ready to wade through dense woods?"
  156. May 24 13:10:18 <Melons> "...so it's pretty clear they were collecting info for her...think they're like research assistants and were actually like...you know...smart?"
  157. May 24 13:10:48 <Mayuri> "You mean like those kids professors in Unova and stuff send off with Pokedexes?"
  158. May 24 13:11:12 <Mayuri> 6d6+4 charm for "please don't hate me for saying that"
  159. May 24 13:11:13 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, charm for "please don't hate me for saying that": 19 [6d6=2,1,5,1,2,4]
  160. May 24 13:11:16 <Knox> "Probably." he answers Mel.
  161. May 24 13:11:38 <Melons> "Nah, more like hipster kids that are smarter than the average hipster, and somehow ended up with good connections, but since field research for this kind of thing is so goddamn depressing, they tried to spice it up a bit."
  162. May 24 13:12:02 <Knox> SO, TIME FOR THE HUNT?
  163. May 24 13:12:12 * Mayuri shrugs
  164. May 24 13:12:18 <Mayuri> "I don't envy my mom or my dad~"
  165. May 24 13:12:20 * Melons kind of technically qualifies for every single group Knox mentioned!
  166. May 24 13:12:40 <Mayuri> (Do coordinators count as actors?)
  167. May 24 13:12:51 <Mayuri> (And do fairies count as "beings of the night")
  168. May 24 13:12:56 <Melons> "Yeah...let's go see if we can find any cool stuff at least."
  169. May 24 13:13:01 <Mackenzie> (Mack is a coordinator, so probably)
  170. May 24 13:13:02 <Melons> (They're often moon-themed in pokemon, so...kind of)
  171. May 24 13:13:04 <Knox> (Probably, considering moonlight rituals)
  172. May 24 13:14:53 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Sure, let's go with that. Ree's still sleepy, as is your little labgirl, so I'm assuming you have a plan to get the two of them on the ship?" Sami finally calms down a little and chimes in. "Got any biiiiiig Pokemon that can do it? Drag 'em on? Preferably fuzzy! But not-fuzzy works too!"
  173. May 24 13:15:42 * Melons tosses Solem out to lift Les over his shoulder.
  174. May 24 13:15:47 <Knox> "Bearington."
  175. May 24 13:15:55 <Melons> Or technically its shoulder.
  176. May 24 13:16:12 <Knox> "I guess he's all the way over there, though."
  177. May 24 13:16:31 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Ooooh, a robot! A robotghost! Ghostrobot! Seems pretty cool!" Sami's looking over Solem with starry eyes.
  178. May 24 13:16:56 <Melons> The combination of a Skittish nature and Bodyguard is amusing.
  179. May 24 13:17:25 * Mayuri blinks
  180. May 24 13:17:25 <Mayuri> "Ghost... robot?"
  181. May 24 13:17:38 <Melons> He's...er...it's a Golett.
  182. May 24 13:18:06 <Knox> "Yeah, that's a ghost. Beats me how."
  183. May 24 13:18:20 <Aori_Radidjiu> Solem leeeans a little back from Sami, waving his free hand to indicate she's getting a LITTLE too much into its personal space.
  184. May 24 13:18:23 <Aori_Radidjiu> *its
  185. May 24 13:18:30 <Aori_Radidjiu> I like to think of Solem as a he anyway though.
  186. May 24 13:18:39 <Melons> 6d6+4 Use fancy words to explain to the plebs how spectral golems work.
  187. May 24 13:18:41 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Use fancy words to explain to the plebs how spectral golems work.: 22 [6d6=1,5,3,2,1,6]
  188. May 24 13:18:52 <Melons> "It's fucking sorcery science."
  189. May 24 13:19:06 <Knox> "That completely explains it." deadpan face.
  190. May 24 13:19:10 <Mackenzie> "...Are we going yet?"
  191. May 24 13:19:17 <Knox> "Already gone." and there he goes.
  192. May 24 13:19:27 <Melons> "H-Hey, let me dump Lesieli back off at the ship first..."
  193. May 24 13:19:46 * Mackenzie shrugs and follows, with his Hawlucha, his most perceptive pokemon.
  194. May 24 13:19:55 <Mayuri> 5d6+3 Attempt to understand Melons
  195. May 24 13:19:56 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, Attempt to understand Melons: 16 [5d6=6,1,3,2,1]
  196. May 24 13:20:30 <Knox> He looks back and shrugs, changing course to do a good sweep by the ship as the first part of the search.
  197. May 24 13:21:19 * Mayuri pokes Ria
  198. May 24 13:21:25 <Mayuri> "Mind looking out for stuff for me?"
  199. May 24 13:21:32 <Aori_Radidjiu> Ria nods~
  200. May 24 13:21:39 <Melons> Assuming Mel can just quickly offscreen it, she'd bring Lesieli back to the ship and tuck her into bed with her fluffiest of Mareeps or fluffiest doll or something, swap her party to Lurkario, Pumpkaboo, Gramps, Buneary, Golett, and Mienfoo, and hop back out.
  201. May 24 13:22:00 <Aori_Radidjiu> I'm assuming you send the Golett off to get Ree as well?
  202. May 24 13:22:12 <Melons> Pft, she isn't one of my fr- fine.
  203. May 24 13:23:21 <Aori_Radidjiu> [Awww, no Reeve? I want to actually meeeet him sometime! Maybe later.]
  204. May 24 13:23:57 <Melons> Sooooooon, soooooon. Just trying to finish training some of the weaker ones first. Then you can meet him and Ado!
  205. May 24 13:25:21 <Aori_Radidjiu> [*squealing noises*]
  206. May 24 13:25:32 <Melons> You mean a squiddle?
  207. May 24 13:25:49 <Knox> Knox considers changing his pokemon too, but nah.
  208. May 24 13:26:10 * Melons lets Selene the Buneary out to SHARE ITS ADORABILITY WITH MIRAI BECAUSE OH MY GOD!
  209. May 24 13:26:37 * Mayuri has no Pokemon to switch between.
  210. May 24 13:26:50 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mirai squiddles and gives the little cutie a hug oh my god socute
  211. May 24 13:27:40 <Melons> Or technically her because I'm bad at correct pronouns.
  212. May 24 13:28:28 <Melons> "So Knox, same plan as before?
  213. May 24 13:28:28 <Melons> "
  214. May 24 13:30:02 <Knox> "Pretty much. We just sweep the area and then leave with the intel and any goodies we find. If it's as thinly populated as you think there shouldn't be any problems."
  215. May 24 13:30:14 <Aori_Radidjiu> Selene squirms a little when hugged but seems to enjoy it.
  216. May 24 13:30:25 * Knox starts to head out for real this time.
  217. May 24 13:30:39 <Melons> "Suppose we can also ask any pokemon if they've seen any oddities..."
  218. May 24 13:30:40 <Aori_Radidjiu> All right, so we're combing the island, yes?
  219. May 24 13:30:42 * Mayuri sticks with the group that doesn't end her being with poison boy alone
  220. May 24 13:30:59 <Aori_Radidjiu> >implying a splitup
  221. May 24 13:31:06 <Aori_Radidjiu> Naw everyone who's awake is together.
  222. May 24 13:31:30 <Aori_Radidjiu> Auriga, Phantasia, and what'shisbucket all go back to the ship. Mistral has gone MIA (AS USUAL) and MIrai is hanging out with you guys still.
  223. May 24 13:32:02 <Melons> 6d6+3 Mel pecks Mirai on the cheek with a BRB and scampers up some trees, keeping pace with the group down below.
  224. May 24 13:32:04 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Mel pecks Mirai on the cheek with a BRB and scampers up some trees, keeping pace with the group down below.: 24 [6d6=5,3,5,2,1,5]
  225. May 24 13:32:56 <Knox> Knox smirks at the show-off and proceeds on.
  226. May 24 13:33:33 <Aori_Radidjiu> You jump at one tree, causing it to bend on impact, then it bounces back and slingshots you on to your destination tree perfectly.
  227. May 24 13:33:59 * Mayuri walks normally with Ria and Chiri lookouts.
  228. May 24 13:34:23 <Melons> 1d20 Pumpkaboo pickup roll!
  229. May 24 13:34:24 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Pumpkaboo pickup roll!: 8 [1d20=8]
  230. May 24 13:34:25 <Aori_Radidjiu> So, were you guys gonna' ask any Pokemon about stuff?
  231. May 24 13:34:34 <Melons> A berry!
  232. May 24 13:34:41 <Knox> Knox has no way of communicating with pokemon!
  233. May 24 13:35:25 * Mackenzie walksalong with the others, pretending like he's remotely observant at all and sticking consciously toward the front of the group, but not so far ahead as to act as leader, because fuck if he knows where people are actually going.
  234. May 24 13:35:27 <Aori_Radidjiu> The Shuckle before seemed to be pretty capable of listening to Sigmund and responding, he might be a good goto~
  235. May 24 13:35:50 <Aori_Radidjiu> A berry, huh.
  236. May 24 13:35:55 <Aori_Radidjiu> 1d3 tier
  237. May 24 13:35:56 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, tier: 2 [1d3=2]
  238. May 24 13:36:48 <Knox> Well, it's kind of awkward to go straight back to the cave now.
  239. May 24 13:36:49 <Knox> hmm
  240. May 24 13:36:57 <Aori_Radidjiu> An ENIGMA BERRY
  241. May 24 13:37:00 <Knox> But yeah, any info we might have picked up could have been nice.
  242. May 24 13:37:28 <Melons> Shukaboo, where do you even FIND this stuff?
  243. May 24 13:38:14 <Melons> As a pokemon of the island Selene could totally know something and Mirai is totally a channeler
  244. May 24 13:38:49 <Aori_Radidjiu> When looking around yesterday, you found the following landmarks: A biiiig boulder near the center of the island, a natural staircase leading into a (rather dark) cove, the cliff with the cave, and a rather large palm tree on the opposite side of the island from the cliff.
  245. May 24 13:39:36 <Aori_Radidjiu> On your suggestion, Mirai channels Selene and pauses for a bit, seeming a bit lost in thought. "Ah! There's a cove where scary stuff happens! None of the Buneary go there."
  246. May 24 13:39:59 <Knox> "Sounds promising."
  247. May 24 13:40:21 <Melons> This seems like a fine of a time as any to use the Alluring capability!...now how the fuck does Bait work...
  248. May 24 13:41:45 <Aori_Radidjiu> https://img.4plebs.org/boards/s4s/image/1385/80/1385801186354.png
  249. May 24 13:41:49 <Mayuri> "Erm... how scary exactly?"
  250. May 24 13:42:14 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Like 'if you go in you might never come back' scary!"
  251. May 24 13:42:41 <Melons> 1d20 Apparently I do this every 15 minutes until I roll 15 or higher or until I fail 3 times
  252. May 24 13:42:42 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Apparently I do this every 15 minutes until I roll 15 or higher or until I fail 3 times: 12 [1d20=12]
  253. May 24 13:42:43 <Knox> "Terrifying. Which way?"
  254. May 24 13:44:33 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Oh, um!" She turns to Selene and sort of stares into her soul a bit before turning back. "This way!" She points in a direction and starts going in it.
  255. May 24 13:44:58 * Melons glances down and follows along through the treetops.
  256. May 24 13:45:07 <Mayuri> "I thought it was scary"
  257. May 24 13:46:28 * Mackenzie just tries to remain somewhat aware of what anyone is talking about, while following along. Hawlucha remains bravely at his side.
  258. May 24 13:47:37 <Knox> "Remind me to buy a pair of binoculars when we get back to civilization." he mutters as he tromps through the woods.
  259. May 24 13:48:11 <Melons> 3d6+7 Can't hear you over how good these goggles are!
  260. May 24 13:48:12 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Can't hear you over how good these goggles are!: 20 [3d6=2,5,6]
  261. May 24 13:49:05 <Aori_Radidjiu> After a while, Mirai leads you all to the edge of the island, to the place with the natural staircase and the cove, the landmark I mentioned just a little bit ago! Mel manages to spot that you're heading there from above and point it out. The cove itself is veeeery dark, and the air is really really damp. Using a TORCH or FIRE to light it might not be a good idea, better to stick with
  262. May 24 13:49:06 <Aori_Radidjiu> flashlights or something.
  263. May 24 13:50:21 * Knox throws on his darkvision goggles, himself.
  264. May 24 13:50:29 * Mackenzie puts on his shades, so he can see better.
  265. May 24 13:50:32 * Melons slides down from the trees and returns Selene with a pat on the head. It probably seems pretty scary. At least until Selene is murdered...or immortalized...the language isn't clear. All the coolkids have darkvission goggles.
  266. May 24 13:52:52 * Mayuri lacks a flashlight or night vision goggles D:
  267. May 24 13:53:41 <Knox> He pauses at the entrance, looking back at the others. "No flashlight? That sucks for you..."
  268. May 24 13:55:43 <Mackenzie> "...Here, hold my hand. I can see with my sunglasses, weird as that sounds," he says to Mayuri, holding out a hand. "I'll make sure you don't hit any walls."
  269. May 24 13:56:47 * Mayuri makes sure Mack isn't a bad adult and tries. >:T
  270. May 24 13:57:17 <Aori_Radidjiu> Sami brings up a camera with a built-on light for filming. "I'm good! Great! No dark is gonna' dark up my camera!"
  271. May 24 13:58:11 <Melons> Ohfuckright. "Um...Mirai, can you see alright?"
  272. May 24 13:58:39 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Hmmmm..."
  273. May 24 13:58:49 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Do you have any Pokemon that can see in the dark?"
  274. May 24 13:59:29 <Melons> "Um...not...on me...at the moment..."
  275. May 24 13:59:39 <Melons> "well they can."
  276. May 24 13:59:44 <Melons> "I mean...kind of..."
  277. May 24 14:00:05 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Anyone~?"
  278. May 24 14:00:11 <Mayuri> "Don't fairies usually, like, only have to deal with moonlight..." ^.^;
  279. May 24 14:00:22 <Melons> "Well I mean I have goggles but..uh...here..." Miraihandgrab
  280. May 24 14:00:32 <Melons> 1d20 Oh god, what if the handgrab misses
  281. May 24 14:00:34 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Oh god, what if the handgrab misses: 4 [1d20=4]
  282. May 24 14:00:49 <Knox> "Unfortunately not." he answers Mirai.
  283. May 24 14:00:54 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Oh wait, I know!" She tosses a Pokeball and out comes her Jellicent. "Mr. Salt can see for me!"
  284. May 24 14:01:02 <Aori_Radidjiu> She grabs your hand anyway.
  285. May 24 14:01:21 * Mackenzie takes her hand and lets her approach to make a pace she's comfortable with, then he begins moving in, making sure not to go any faster than she's comfortable with, and making sure she's squarely behind him so she doesn't wander into the side of the passage. "Oh um, yeah I have pokemon who could see in here, why?"
  286. May 24 14:01:48 <Knox> "Nice ability, by the way."
  287. May 24 14:01:53 <Knox> He heads on through.
  288. May 24 14:02:44 <Aori_Radidjiu> The Jellicent follows right behind Mirai and she closes her eyes and begins walking. "Hm, kind of like a video game..."
  289. May 24 14:03:19 <Melons> Looking at your own butt seems weird.
  290. May 24 14:03:36 <Mayuri> ("No gures please" ;.;)
  291. May 24 14:04:02 <Melons> (I don't even know what that is!)
  292. May 24 14:07:08 <Aori_Radidjiu> Sigmund just walks in without getting any preparation.
  293. May 24 14:08:16 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Sigggy, shouldn't we get Big Boss or something?" Sigmund shakes his head. "Well, that could work, but I can see fine, and you've got your camera, so it shouldn't be a problem."
  294. May 24 14:08:20 <Mayuri> "If it was scary people in here, they'd have lights an stuff.. right?"
  295. May 24 14:09:06 <Melons> "There might still be shadow pokemon left. Hell this might be where they hide during the day..."
  296. May 24 14:09:09 <Aori_Radidjiu> [Maybe she likes her butt. I like her butt. Do you like her butt?]
  297. May 24 14:09:24 <Melons> Ssssssh...I mean...yes...b-butt...we can talk a-about that later!
  298. May 24 14:11:49 <Melons> (That typo was not intentional)
  299. May 24 14:11:50 <Mayuri> "A-At least they'd be sleeping, right?"
  300. May 24 14:12:07 <Melons> "P-Probably...maybe...unless it never leaves the cave."
  301. May 24 14:12:55 <Knox> "Can't know until we get deeper."
  302. May 24 14:14:29 <Mayuri> "Tell me if you see any big scary monsters then..."
  303. May 24 14:14:37 <Aori_Radidjiu> Anyway http://www.listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=mEhHDsNwaQM You all trudge through the cove. It goes out a while, pretty linearly, before it goes to an impasse, one side with another path, and the other goes down into water. Mirai hmms. "Man, wish I brought my swim-" Sigmund covers her mouth, then whispers. "Quiet, now, you wouldn't want to wake anyone up, would you?"
  304. May 24 14:17:13 <Knox> He looks between the two path choices, then back at the party.
  305. May 24 14:17:57 * Melons nods towards the dry one.
  306. May 24 14:17:59 <Knox> It seems pretty obvious to him that the shadow pokemon weren't aquatic so the pool is probably out of the question... but he's damn curious too.
  307. May 24 14:18:16 <Melons> It's mermaids all over again, goddamnit.
  308. May 24 14:18:34 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I'd send Mr. Salt, but then I'd lose my eyes! So I think we should go dry for now~"
  309. May 24 14:18:55 <Knox> He shrugs and continues along the dry path. "Yeah." he whispers. "We can come back and look at that."
  310. May 24 14:19:31 <Mackenzie> 1d6+1 Weren't we in a similar situation before, in some kind of place with paths, and one led to a watery area?
  311. May 24 14:19:31 <DiceMaid-9001> Mackenzie, Weren't we in a similar situation before, in some kind of place with paths, and one led to a watery area?: 5 [1d6=4]
  312. May 24 14:19:41 <Mackenzie> (obviously mackthoughts)
  313. May 24 14:19:52 <Mayuri> "So... uhm, why are we stopping"
  314. May 24 14:20:10 <Knox> "There was a fork in the road."
  315. May 24 14:20:11 <Aori_Radidjiu> Yeeep. Though in that case there were parts where you HAD to go underwater, but you all had prepared for that!
  316. May 24 14:20:29 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mirai's already tugging Mel to go on the dry path~
  317. May 24 14:21:52 * Melons heads toward the dry path, taking point.
  318. May 24 14:22:39 <Mackenzie> 'Melanie, isn't this somewhat reminiscient of, ah... That ghostly pirate cove where you caught Po? Once we actually got inside, that is..." He follows along the dry path.
  319. May 24 14:23:24 <Melons> She almost sounds a little angry but keeps her voice hushed. "Thrice now we've found coves like this."
  320. May 24 14:23:50 <Aori_Radidjiu> (Oh see I was thinking of the Mermaid cove, I forgot about the other cove. SILLY ME)
  321. May 24 14:23:50 <Mayuri> "Why doesn't anyone have a flashlight anyway >.<"
  322. May 24 14:24:13 <Aori_Radidjiu> Sami shines the light on her camera on you. "I'm not anyone? I'm hurt~"
  323. May 24 14:24:35 <Mayuri> (Does the light actually achieve anything?)
  324. May 24 14:24:42 <Melons> "I seriously recommend shutting the hell up."
  325. May 24 14:24:51 <Aori_Radidjiu> It makes a little bit of the area more visible, but not by much.
  326. May 24 14:25:03 <Mayuri> "That's not a flashlight"
  327. May 24 14:25:22 * Ramiel (chatzilla@sux-A86A49C8.slkc.qwest.net) has joined
  328. May 24 14:25:42 * Knox switches to stealthymode as they go along, even with Mel taking point. No chances here.
  329. May 24 14:25:47 <Knox> 6d6+5
  330. May 24 14:25:47 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, 6d6+5: 30 [6d6=6,3,5,4,6,1]
  331. May 24 14:26:38 <Mackenzie> "Why can't we talk? There's nothing else to do while we trudge along in here."
  332. May 24 14:27:13 <Melons> 4d6+3 Not sure how being stealthy while holding someone by the hand works, but probably can't hurt.
  333. May 24 14:27:13 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Not sure how being stealthy while holding someone by the hand works, but probably can't hurt.: 16 [4d6=5,1,6,1]
  334. May 24 14:27:49 <Melons> Mel huffs an irritated sigh and whispers, "Surely you recall your spy movies."
  335. May 24 14:27:57 <Aori_Radidjiu> It doesn't take long for the paht to open up into a larger room, a vast area, although this seems to be the end of the path. There are Pokemon here, specifically Grimer, Abra, some Shinx, and a small handful of glowing Tynamo.
  336. May 24 14:28:51 <Aori_Radidjiu> The Shinx can't see you guys at all because they seem to stick to hanging with the Tynamo and wherever their glow goes
  337. May 24 14:29:01 <Mackenzie> Mack speaks in a more hushed voice now. "Shh, now's not the time for movie talk, Melanie. There's something up ahead."
  338. May 24 14:29:16 <Melons> Why the fuck do I even watch your movies?
  339. May 24 14:29:39 <Aori_Radidjiu> I want perception and Pokemon Edu rolls.
  340. May 24 14:29:52 <Mayuri> 2d6+3 What is perception
  341. May 24 14:29:52 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, What is perception: 12 [2d6=5,4]
  342. May 24 14:29:56 <Knox> 2d6+1 spending an ap; 2d6+1 ditto
  343. May 24 14:29:56 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, spending an ap: 7 [2d6=5,1]; ditto: 3 [2d6=1,1]
  344. May 24 14:30:03 <Mayuri> 3d6+3 I know nothing
  345. May 24 14:30:04 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, I know nothing: 11 [3d6=6,1,1]
  346. May 24 14:30:08 <Melons> 3d6+7 Eye Sorcery; 2d6+4 These are not the interesting pokemens
  347. May 24 14:30:10 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Eye Sorcery: 19 [3d6=6,4,2]; These are not the interesting pokemens: 11 [2d6=2,5]
  348. May 24 14:30:15 <Mayuri> 5d6 (Ria actually has a Perception stat)
  349. May 24 14:30:15 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, (Ria actually has a Perception stat): 20 [5d6=5,6,3,2,4]
  350. May 24 14:30:49 <Mackenzie> 1d6+1; 3d6+1; 4d6+2 perception, pokedu, does hawlucha perception count in here?
  351. May 24 14:30:50 <DiceMaid-9001> Mackenzie, 1d6+1: 7 [1d6=6]; 3d6+1: 15 [3d6=4,4,6]; perception, pokedu, does hawlucha perception count in here?: 13 [4d6=2,5,1,3]
  352. May 24 14:30:54 <Aori_Radidjiu> Knox notices there's Pokemon. Sure are a lot of Pokemon!
  353. May 24 14:35:02 <Ramiel> 4d6+6 Percept; 6d6+6 PokeEdu. Because I can.
  354. May 24 14:35:02 <DiceMaid-9001> Ramiel, Percept: 21 [4d6=6,5,3,1]; PokeEdu. Because I can.: 33 [6d6=1,5,6,4,6,5]
  355. May 24 14:35:07 <Aori_Radidjiu> Hawlucha can't see int he dark. Neither can Swirlix. D: Melanie and MACK of all people notice that the Grimer seem to be able ot see in the dark, as they're looking around for little holes in the walls to squeeze into and leech nutrients from, which is an unusual trait for Grimer! These Grimer must have adapted to the environment here. The other Pokemon seem pretty normal, at least
  356. May 24 14:35:07 <Aori_Radidjiu> in terms of species traits. The Shinx seem to have a dependent relationship on the Tynamo to see and move around, while the Tynamo depend on the Shinx to fend off predators. The Abra can telepathically sense other things.
  357. May 24 14:35:20 <Aori_Radidjiu> IF LES WERE HERE I COULD START AORIWALLING EVEN HARDER.
  358. May 24 14:36:18 <Melons> 6d6+4 Although Occult might totally help knowing about Abras.
  359. May 24 14:36:20 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Although Occult might totally help knowing about Abras.: 29 [6d6=2,3,6,6,6,2]
  360. May 24 14:37:08 <Knox> He carefully keeps his distance, not really sure about sneaking into this room full of pokemon.
  361. May 24 14:37:18 <Aori_Radidjiu> Abra can't see in the dark but they commonly go to dark places to meditate as part of training themselves.
  362. May 24 14:37:58 <Aori_Radidjiu> It's similar to what Koa was doing when you found her.
  363. May 24 14:38:01 <Melons> Fuck, this would have been a fantastic time to have Reeve scare the everliving fuck out of things to clear the way.
  364. May 24 14:38:12 <Ramiel> Too bad Les is busy visiting her relatives for a funeral. Man those are boring.
  365. May 24 14:39:05 * Melons whispers to Mirai. "Can you communicate with them and tell them we mean no harm?"
  366. May 24 14:39:50 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mirai nods. "I can try!"
  367. May 24 14:40:16 <Mackenzie> "Looks like they're using minorly evolved or symbiotic traits to deal with the darkness. Sneakier individuals should be able to avoid them easily if it comes to it."
  368. May 24 14:40:41 <Melons> "The Abra are a big wild card here."
  369. May 24 14:40:46 <Knox> Knox has no idea what this nonsense means and just watches.
  370. May 24 14:40:57 <Aori_Radidjiu> She carefully walks up to some of the Grimer (who seem the most aggressive out of the groups) and pauses for a bit in front of one.
  371. May 24 14:42:13 <Knox> Knox leans down, tense for a moment as he watches.
  372. May 24 14:42:14 <Aori_Radidjiu> 6d6+3 Channel Attempt
  373. May 24 14:42:15 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, Channel Attempt: 22 [6d6=6,2,1,4,4,2]
  374. May 24 14:43:32 <Aori_Radidjiu> After a bit, she comes back to the group. "I told them we're not here to try to steal their food, they'll let us through. I'll try talking to the Shinx next."
  375. May 24 14:44:27 <Aori_Radidjiu> She walks over to one and kneels down to it. It starts rearing back, ready to strike if she tries anything funny.
  376. May 24 14:44:27 <Knox> "So these aren't shadow pokemon. But they do share some of the same species."
  377. May 24 14:44:37 <Aori_Radidjiu> 6d6+3
  378. May 24 14:44:37 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, 6d6+3: 22 [6d6=2,3,3,5,5,1]
  379. May 24 14:45:33 <Aori_Radidjiu> It calms down after a bit and looks her in the eyes for a bit, and then she comes back. "Managed to work things out with them, too. I guess the Abra are next..."
  380. May 24 14:45:58 <Aori_Radidjiu> She walks over to an Abra, which doesn't open its eyes, but looks at her.
  381. May 24 14:46:30 <Aori_Radidjiu> 6d6+3 Last channel attempt (although it has Telepathy, so she doesn't have to succeed)
  382. May 24 14:46:31 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, Last channel attempt (although it has Telepathy, so she doesn't have to succeed): 22 [6d6=6,1,4,3,2,3]
  383. May 24 14:46:37 <Aori_Radidjiu> (>triple 22)
  384. May 24 14:46:51 <Melons> (What does the hat trick get us?)
  385. May 24 14:46:59 <Mackenzie> (ballerina mirai)
  386. May 24 14:47:56 <Aori_Radidjiu> She comes back after a bit, a :S on her face. "Well, they have no problem with us going through...but one of them wants to talk with you, Melanie! I don't know why."
  387. May 24 14:48:01 <Knox> He ponders the implication of the normal pokemon here for a moment more.
  388. May 24 14:48:35 <Mayuri> "So.. uhm, anything scary?"
  389. May 24 14:48:40 <Melons> Melanie's tongue catches in her throat. She nods after a bit and stumbles in their direction.
  390. May 24 14:49:41 <Aori_Radidjiu> After you walk a bit, Melanie, one of them teleports to right in front of you, and looks up at you with closed eyes. [You are my brother and not my brother. Why?]
  391. May 24 14:49:43 <Knox> "Just young pokemon. You can probably see a few of them from the little lights."
  392. May 24 14:52:17 <Melons> Goddamnit now there are two things in my head!...your brother...a group known as Team Aether has been experimenting on pokemon here. Your brother was one of the unlucky ones and was turned against the other inhabitants of this island. We fought on their side, against your brother and those that corrupted him. He was not likely to make it so...I have attempted to let him get his vengeance.
  393. May 24 14:54:45 <Aori_Radidjiu> [I initially thought you were a female of my kind, but now I realize you are human. Those who have been taking us have taken all the females, and there are few that we can breed with on this island. Please bring one of our females back.]
  394. May 24 14:55:42 <Melons> I'll...uh...see what I can do.
  395. May 24 14:56:24 <Aori_Radidjiu> [Thank you. We do not wish to die out.]
  396. May 24 14:56:59 * Melons is pretty goddamn red in the dark.
  397. May 24 14:57:22 <Aori_Radidjiu> It teleports back to the rest of the Abra.
  398. May 24 14:57:43 <Melons> "Hey, uh...path's clear."
  399. May 24 14:58:06 <Knox> "Good to know. Let's go, then."
  400. May 24 14:58:20 <Knox> "The silence was getting unnerving."
  401. May 24 14:58:23 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mirai tilts her head a little. "Melanie, why are you so red? Is there something you're allergic to in here?"
  402. May 24 14:58:26 <Mayuri> "I wish I could see the path... you know, something like dream Chiri and her... err..."
  403. May 24 14:59:07 <Melons> "...it...I...uh...n-no reason...m-maybe I'm just too hot down here..."
  404. May 24 15:01:00 <Aori_Radidjiu> Passing by the groups of Pokemon, you all find another passage, going down more. There's a steep incline like the water route, but no water this time. Also...roll me Intuition, all of you.
  405. May 24 15:01:10 <Aori_Radidjiu> 6d6+3 Mirai can spell it out if you guys don't figure it out.
  406. May 24 15:01:10 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, Mirai can spell it out if you guys don't figure it out.: 21 [6d6=1,1,3,5,5,3]
  407. May 24 15:01:17 <Melons> 1d6-2 Lawl
  408. May 24 15:01:17 <Knox> 1d6 lol what
  409. May 24 15:01:18 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, lol what: 6 [1d6=6]
  410. May 24 15:01:18 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Lawl: 3 [1d6=5]
  411. May 24 15:01:25 <Mayuri> 4d6+4 Oh hey a stat I have.
  412. May 24 15:01:25 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, Oh hey a stat I have.: 18 [4d6=6,1,1,6]
  413. May 24 15:01:52 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mayuri notices it before Mirai chimes in. "The floor here and the walls are getting awfully smooth! I don't think this is natural!"
  414. May 24 15:03:33 <Mackenzie> 1d6+2
  415. May 24 15:03:34 <DiceMaid-9001> Mackenzie, 1d6+2: 3 [1d6=1]
  416. May 24 15:03:35 <Melons> 1d20 Oh I guess you don't really choose when bait triggers after activation, it's just totally every 15 minutes until the 3 fails. Sweet smells, I choose you.
  417. May 24 15:03:35 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Oh I guess you don't really choose when bait triggers after activation, it's just totally every 15 minutes until the 3 fails. Sweet smells, I choose you.: 2 [1d20=2]
  418. May 24 15:04:36 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Melanie, you still smell really nice~. I was worried about cave smell, but I've had to ignore it the whole time~"
  419. May 24 15:04:44 <Aori_Radidjiu> "You should let me use that deoderant too!"
  420. May 24 15:05:08 <Knox> He sniffs a moment, not really saying anything.
  421. May 24 15:05:18 <Melons> "N-Now isn't the time for that...shit might actually be going down."
  422. May 24 15:06:03 <Knox> Though he pipes up after a moment. "So what, they dug up from below, or just carried all the excavation equipment past those pokemon without bothering to catch them... Dunno what to think."
  423. May 24 15:06:50 <Aori_Radidjiu> As the walls and ceiling and floor get smoother, there's eventually a lightbulb in the ceiling, lighting up a light grey hallway that goes to a single door, with a keypad next to it.
  424. May 24 15:08:20 <Melons> "C-Could be they wanted to see how normal pokemon react to having to fight off shadows...anyone have an electric type?"
  425. May 24 15:08:54 <Knox> "Tough luck there. Now fucking what."
  426. May 24 15:09:17 <Knox> "It's like what Lecia uses in her place."
  427. May 24 15:09:55 * Melons glances at the keypad for visible screws.
  428. May 24 15:10:49 <Aori_Radidjiu> There aren't any. Seems they didn't want anyone taking it apart.
  429. May 24 15:11:15 <Melons> 4d6+4 Attempt to pry it the fuck off with her mind anyways.
  430. May 24 15:11:16 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Attempt to pry it the fuck off with her mind anyways.: 16 [4d6=4,3,2,3]
  431. May 24 15:12:22 <Aori_Radidjiu> There's a THUNK from behind the keypad. It doesn't pry it out, but then there's a BEEP and the ceiling opens up a bit, revealing a cannon right about Melanie's head.
  432. May 24 15:13:07 <Melons> "...fuck, should have just had Solem punch it."
  433. May 24 15:13:31 <Mayuri> "Why not just blow up the door."
  434. May 24 15:13:35 <Aori_Radidjiu> 1d20 SIGNAL BEAM
  435. May 24 15:13:35 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, SIGNAL BEAM: 1 [1d20=1]
  436. May 24 15:13:40 * Knox quickly aims up and fires a glue shot into the cannon.
  437. May 24 15:13:43 <Aori_Radidjiu> It hits the floor with a ZAP
  438. May 24 15:13:49 <Melons> MALEDICTION
  439. May 24 15:13:51 <Mayuri> "Maybe Mack's weird dream magic thing."
  440. May 24 15:14:07 <Aori_Radidjiu> The cannon sparks up a bit.
  441. May 24 15:15:22 * castfromhp has quit (Connection reset by peer)
  442. May 24 15:15:28 <Aori_Radidjiu> It closes up though. It seems it only fires once per attack attempt.
  443. May 24 15:15:33 <Knox> "So what the hell are we doing if we aren't going to break down the door and go Rambo? Go diving and hope for a secondary entrance?" he says, a bit sarcastically.
  444. May 24 15:15:48 * Mayuri pours a bottle of Sparkling Lemonade on the keypad
  445. May 24 15:16:13 <Melons> "If you THINK the door isn't going to be pretty fucking reinforced, either you're dumb or Aether is shittier than I was giving them credit."
  446. May 24 15:16:44 <Aori_Radidjiu> It doesn't seem to do anything? There are some electronics that are engineered to withstand having liquid on them, now that you think about it.
  447. May 24 15:17:08 <Knox> "I doubt there's enough of a crack for me to go through either."
  448. May 24 15:17:33 * Melons tosses Solem out. "Ground, punchy type seems like it could help..."
  449. May 24 15:17:36 <Knox> "We need a plan to deal with this.."
  450. May 24 15:17:50 <Aori_Radidjiu> Solem is staring that door down.
  451. May 24 15:18:05 <Melons> "...the rest of you might want to back up."
  452. May 24 15:18:14 <Melons> "...very far."
  453. May 24 15:18:20 <Knox> "Here's hoping we don't die." he backs the hell up.
  454. May 24 15:19:08 * Melons even gives the ghostbot some distance. "So uh...I guess...Magnitude when everyone's cleared the area?
  455. May 24 15:19:41 <Mayuri> "Isn't stuff like that pretty big?" o.o;
  456. May 24 15:19:56 <Melons> "Yep." Mel drags Mayuri free of the impending Burst 2.
  457. May 24 15:19:57 * castfromhp (castfromhp@sux-785131EB.hsd1.il.comcast.net) has joined
  458. May 24 15:20:05 <Aori_Radidjiu> All the NPCs baaaack up.
  459. May 24 15:20:08 <Aori_Radidjiu> Go ahead and roll it.
  460. May 24 15:20:12 * Mayuri is dragged by Melons
  461. May 24 15:20:18 <Melons> 1d20 AC2, although I don't know if you can miss a wall
  462. May 24 15:20:18 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, AC2, although I don't know if you can miss a wall: 8 [1d20=8]
  463. May 24 15:20:28 <Melons> 1d6 Bonus DB
  464. May 24 15:20:29 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Bonus DB: 4 [1d6=4]
  465. May 24 15:20:45 <Melons> 3d10+10+23
  466. May 24 15:20:45 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, 3d10+10+23: 42 [3d10=1,3,5]
  467. May 24 15:21:10 <Aori_Radidjiu> The ground around the door dents up, and there's a LOT of rumbling, but the door is mostly intact.
  468. May 24 15:21:22 <Aori_Radidjiu> Another opening pops open in the ceiling, this one much bigger
  469. May 24 15:21:33 <Aori_Radidjiu> A scanning laser goes over Solem. Lock-On! And then it fires...
  470. May 24 15:21:39 <Aori_Radidjiu> 1d20 Ice Beam
  471. May 24 15:21:40 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, Ice Beam: 2 [1d20=2]
  472. May 24 15:21:48 <Aori_Radidjiu> It's locked on so that doesn't miss, though
  473. May 24 15:22:02 <Aori_Radidjiu> 2d10+10+40
  474. May 24 15:22:02 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, 2d10+10+40: 55 [2d10=1,4]
  475. May 24 15:22:40 <Melons> Well he's down. ;-;
  476. May 24 15:22:49 <Knox> "Alright, enough of that. Let's back up and get wet. It's got to be better than smashing our faces against this fucking door."
  477. May 24 15:23:10 <Mayuri> "Well... maybe..."
  478. May 24 15:23:20 * Mayuri checks her bag for makeup or something.
  479. May 24 15:23:48 <Aori_Radidjiu> Of course you've got makeup! It's something you have around at all times, yes?
  480. May 24 15:24:27 * Mayuri attempts to dust the keypad with blush powder! Probably a horrible idea, but.
  481. May 24 15:25:04 <Melons> She was Looker the whole time!
  482. May 24 15:25:34 <Aori_Radidjiu> Oh, for fingerprints? Not a bad idea, buuuuut, it doesn't reveal anything. It seems that everyone who works here uses gloves!
  483. May 24 15:25:46 * Mayuri crosses her arms
  484. May 24 15:25:55 <Mayuri> "They're smarter than Mom!" >.<
  485. May 24 15:26:38 * Knox crosses his arms, leaning against the wall.
  486. May 24 15:27:01 * Melons glances around for any other structure or thing.
  487. May 24 15:29:28 <Aori_Radidjiu> The walls have little circles that close and open, but they're all closed right now. You could try prying them open, but you'd probably get shot at!
  488. May 24 15:29:58 <Melons> How much dust was there on this shit anyway, as far as showing whether place looks like it had been recently occupied or not?
  489. May 24 15:30:24 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mirai stretches her arms. "Guess it's time to go get our swimsuits!" Sigmund goes to cover her mouth, but she's finished her sentence by the time he gets there.
  490. May 24 15:31:24 <Break> "SWIMSUITS WHERE"
  491. May 24 15:31:31 <Break> Ree is up -instantly-.
  492. May 24 15:31:37 <Knox> (You're not even here)
  493. May 24 15:31:47 <Aori_Radidjiu> (That's the point.)
  494. May 24 15:31:57 * Break -sprints- in, panting.
  495. May 24 15:32:02 <Break> Er, Ree does. Silly /me.
  496. May 24 15:32:11 <Mayuri> "If there was a back door, I don't think there'd be all that security on the door..." :T
  497. May 24 15:33:05 <Melons> "Hm...don't even necessarily need a back door. They built this into the fucking ground, they could have made mistakes. Of course, we could also die."
  498. May 24 15:33:07 * Knox looks up at Ree sprinting in, squinting. "Could you keep it down? We're kind of in the middle of an infiltration thing here."
  499. May 24 15:33:25 <Knox> He's already digging his rebreather and flippers out of his pack though.
  500. May 24 15:33:46 <Aori_Radidjiu> As for the question of dust, analyzing the dust patterns, you can see that most of it is all on the sides, kicked up by walking. There's a thin layer of dust where you guys HAVEN'T walked in the middle, which seem sto indicate it hadn't been used today until you all walked in.
  501. May 24 15:33:50 <Break> "Sorry! It's just like a *ping* for me whenever someone mentions it."
  502. May 24 15:34:06 <Aori_Radidjiu> Sigmund shakes his head. "I was trying so hard not to wake you up, too."
  503. May 24 15:34:16 <Knox> Knox lets out a sigh.
  504. May 24 15:34:54 <Melons> "Suppose we could also ask the Abras..." Mel starts wandering from whence they came.
  505. May 24 15:35:00 <Knox> "There's always a back way in. The pool looked like it might have come this deep so we might be on to something. I'm heading back that way."
  506. May 24 15:35:05 <Knox> He starts heading back, too.
  507. May 24 15:35:26 <Knox> "You don't just make a fortified position and not leave yourself a back exit in case things go to shit."
  508. May 24 15:35:42 <Break> "No one's tried shorting the lock?"
  509. May 24 15:35:53 <Melons> "No electric types."
  510. May 24 15:35:57 <Aori_Radidjiu> Sami waves to Ree. "Oh hi! We have, it seems to be built so that water doesn't short it out!"
  511. May 24 15:36:14 <Break> "Ree-Ree to the rescue, THE BIGGEST BOSS IS GO~"
  512. May 24 15:36:27 <Aori_Radidjiu> Sigmund shakes his head. "Well, I might as well let Sigil help out as well..."
  513. May 24 15:36:42 <Break> Ree taps a Pokeball at her belt....from which a rather large, angry looking Luxray emerges.
  514. May 24 15:36:48 <Break> "He can scout out what's inside, too!"
  515. May 24 15:37:29 <Break> "All he needs to do is just sit his furry large butt down and just stare through the walls."
  516. May 24 15:37:30 <Aori_Radidjiu> Sigmund taps a Pokeball, and a Raichu with a sleep bubble pops up. "Wake up, Sigil." She shakes her head awake.
  517. May 24 15:37:55 * Melons walks backwards to the door area. "Oh, good, way to not even fucking say anything when I asked earlier."
  518. May 24 15:38:04 <Break> "He can see everything, I'm pretty sure! He can see troop movements! He can see objectives!"
  519. May 24 15:38:18 <Aori_Radidjiu> Sigmund shrugs. "I didn't think one would be enough."
  520. May 24 15:38:35 <Break> Ree hovers over Mel's shoulder, and stage whispers ominously. "He can seeeeeeee your meaaaaaaasuremeeeeeeents."
  521. May 24 15:38:52 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mirai pipes in. "Oh, lemme' channel Big Boss, then~"
  522. May 24 15:38:57 <Melons> "Because it's not like any given piece of fucking electronics is pretty fucking sensitive and pok-......e......m........." That'snothowxrayvisionworksrightittotallydoesn'tworkthatwaytheyjustseebonesit'snotohgodwhy!
  523. May 24 15:39:40 <Aori_Radidjiu> She kneels down to face Big Boss and looks him in the eye for a bit, before giving the thumbs up. "Go for the x-ray!"
  524. May 24 15:39:42 <Break> "Well, even if he can't short out the lock, you have to admit that having something with X-ray vision won't be useful."
  525. May 24 15:40:10 <Break> "You underestimate the rsourcefulness of butt-stick extraction specialists!"
  526. May 24 15:40:25 <Melons> I want to hit her. I really want to hit her.
  527. May 24 15:40:31 <Mayuri> (Who is Ree)
  528. May 24 15:40:51 <Aori_Radidjiu> Big Boss lazily stares at the door, Mirai right beside him, her eyes closed. "Ummmm, let's seeeee..."
  529. May 24 15:40:54 <Knox> (One of the camera crew)
  530. May 24 15:41:12 <Aori_Radidjiu> (Ree is the third member of the film crew, along with Sigmund and Sami)
  531. May 24 15:41:21 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Oh um. W-well."
  532. May 24 15:41:46 <Knox> He hangs around enough to listen.
  533. May 24 15:42:47 <Aori_Radidjiu> "There's a...whole bunch of people on the other side. I think it's like, a break room or something? But some of them are near the door, since its been making noise..."
  534. May 24 15:43:07 * Melons glances around for a camera.
  535. May 24 15:43:14 <Melons> A hidden one, not the dumb film crew.
  536. May 24 15:43:18 <Knox> "Okay, back off then, don't fuck with it anymore."
  537. May 24 15:43:21 <Aori_Radidjiu> Perception!
  538. May 24 15:43:26 <Melons> 3d6+7
  539. May 24 15:43:27 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, 3d6+7: 22 [3d6=5,4,6]
  540. May 24 15:44:28 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I mean, looking at the workings of the keypad, I don't THINK it's protected against a shock...although I don't know THAT much about technology, it seems pretty simple, and there's an area for water to drain so that it doesn't damage circuitry. You COULD break in with a shock. I think. Maybe. Nnng."
  541. May 24 15:45:37 <Mayuri> "How's a cannon supposed to shoot a ground thing anyway?"
  542. May 24 15:45:40 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Seeing x-rays is making my head hurt a little!"
  543. May 24 15:45:49 <Knox> "Breaking it won't necessarily mean the door slides open unless it's a fire protection safety or something. And how many people? Because we are not ready for a full fledged assault here." he whispers.
  544. May 24 15:46:08 <Aori_Radidjiu> Melanie, you DO in fact see a camera, after enough scrutiny. It's carefully nestled in a corner.
  545. May 24 15:46:19 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Oh, um...About 10! Yeah."
  546. May 24 15:46:19 <Break> "That's probably why we'll need a distraction, which is wrapped in a ruse, which is wrapped in a diversion."
  547. May 24 15:46:37 <Melons> "Hey, zap that camera over there." Mel points out the eye in the corner.
  548. May 24 15:46:41 <Break> "MAybe we'll need to throw another ruse in there to be safe."
  549. May 24 15:46:43 * Knox is starting to wonder how the fuck he got wrapped up in all of this.
  550. May 24 15:47:15 <Aori_Radidjiu> Sigmund nods. "Sigil?" Sigil lazily eyes the camera and ZAP. It breaks to pieces.
  551. May 24 15:48:08 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mirai's brows furrow. "Um, I don't think they liked that. MOre of them are organizing around the dooor...should we go? I think we should go."
  552. May 24 15:48:23 <Melons> "Oh, that was the next part of the plan: we're going back to those pokemon we met."
  553. May 24 15:48:58 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mirai exhales a bit before opening her eyes. "Well, all right!"
  554. May 24 15:49:36 <Mayuri> "Maybe if we break the keypad, they'll be stuck in there."
  555. May 24 15:49:53 <Melons> "Usually, they have failsafes OPEN the door if you break them."
  556. May 24 15:50:01 <Break> "Or it opens to a whole bunch of angry people on break, whichever!"
  557. May 24 15:50:04 <Knox> "No, no more fucking with the door or anything near it. Let's go."
  558. May 24 15:50:14 * Knox gets the hell back.
  559. May 24 15:50:27 <Aori_Radidjiu> Get the hell out? Y/N
  560. May 24 15:50:35 <Knox> Y
  561. May 24 15:50:40 <Melons> Mel is walking back down the path they came. "Now that they're going to have to repair some shit out here and watch it, seems a pretty good time to find a back door."
  562. May 24 15:51:10 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mirai's walking along with. "But now they know what we all look like...and know we're still around here..."
  563. May 24 15:51:19 * Mayuri follows
  564. May 24 15:52:00 <Aori_Radidjiu> You all quickly make it to the Pokemon room. If you listen VERY carefully you can hear some sounds behind all of you.
  565. May 24 15:52:08 <Melons> "It's our job to fight them, and if we retreat without at least getting some goddamn information first, they'll likely be fleeing with everything. I'm not proposing a full on attack."
  566. May 24 15:53:50 <Melons> "Yo, pokemon, listen up." Mel faces the Abras, nodding towards the others to imply they should be translating or something. "Some of the fuckwits that have been harassing the inhabitants of this island might be on their way through. Either hide for a bit, or, if you're feeling particularly pissed, prepare a rather shocking surprise for them, will ya?~"
  567. May 24 15:54:00 * Knox calls out Frequency and Lucero while Mel is talking. "Set up some Stealth Rocks around here, and I want a thick layer of Toxic Spikes between us and them."
  568. May 24 15:55:22 <Aori_Radidjiu> Frequency and Lucero get to work on trapping the hall! A few of the Abras and Shinx/Tynamo pairs go out, but all the grimers and a sizable chunk of the other pokemon stay behind and all get trained in on the hallway you all just came from. Mirai puts a finger to her cheek. "Hmmmm. Maybe I should stay behind to direct them..."
  569. May 24 15:55:24 <Mayuri> "Wait, are we fighting? >.<"
  570. May 24 15:55:46 <Knox> "I'm at least preparing a nasty surprise for them one way or another."
  571. May 24 15:56:13 <Knox> "We're too balls deep in this now to just pull out now though, Melanie's right."
  572. May 24 15:57:08 <Knox> "The question is do we make a stand here or try to enter while they're busy..."
  573. May 24 15:57:13 <Melons> "Hm...if they were on break and not keenly aware that we were already fucking on the island and investigating shit, they don't seem the sharpest lot...and even if they don't think we're just retreating, they likely won't expect a combined attack with some local pokemon...fuck it, this seems like a prime ambush spot."
  574. May 24 15:57:40 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mirai hrms. "So that means...either we all make a stand here or we split up and have some fight here and some go over and try to enter the other way..."
  575. May 24 15:57:50 * Melons glances around for any large boulders. Did the path back to the door go significantly downhill?
  576. May 24 15:58:54 <Knox> "Let's make the stand, then. We've already gone too loud on this op."
  577. May 24 16:00:02 <Aori_Radidjiu> The path to the door DID go downhill. There aren't any particularly large rock formations, though, so you'll probably have to improvise with regards ot that!
  578. May 24 16:00:11 <Melons> Do I have time to use three restorative items on Solem?
  579. May 24 16:00:37 <Aori_Radidjiu> You do.
  580. May 24 16:01:53 <Aori_Radidjiu> Sigmund puts his hand over his mouth. "Hmmmmmm..."
  581. May 24 16:02:04 * Melons slips him a Revive, a Super X-Attack Potion, and a Super Dire Hit Potion.
  582. May 24 16:02:43 <Aori_Radidjiu> "You all sure you ALL want to be here? This place is going to get crowded, and it's going to be hard to not hit allies...right Ree?"
  583. May 24 16:03:19 <Mayuri> "Because we can't see.. or?"\
  584. May 24 16:03:31 <Knox> "Because it's a cramped cave."
  585. May 24 16:04:00 <Melons> "Hm...well...Knox, you're the sneakiest bastard...suppose you might go to infiltrate it while we fight, see if you can nab anything?"
  586. May 24 16:04:43 <Knox> "I'm a pretty sneaky bastard, but you sure you don't want me here instead? I'll do it, though."
  587. May 24 16:04:56 <Aori_Radidjiu> Sami fumes. "Oooooooh, Siiiiiggggyyyyyyyyy I don't think you should go where you're going!"
  588. May 24 16:04:57 <Break> "There's that. I can snipe from back here, though!"
  589. May 24 16:05:18 <Break> "I have a bunch of powder darts ready for the gun attachment to this arm!"
  590. May 24 16:05:37 <Mayuri> "Well... If they're all going to come at once, Chiri could go sing to them, right?"
  591. May 24 16:05:54 <Break> "Inducing paralysis or sleep's gotta be worth something."
  592. May 24 16:06:03 <Melons> "We've got quite a few extra members today, and one hell of a location to attack from." Solem puts dat Groundshaper to use, carefully covering the Traps with dirt as best he can without interfering with there use, as well as molding the entrance to the area to be a nice funnel.
  593. May 24 16:06:36 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Well Ree, I was wondering...can't we handle this ourselves?" Sami's stomping her foot now, as Sigmund continues. "Especially since all of these guys have been nice enough to set up traps for us."
  594. May 24 16:06:55 <Break> "We might be able to, yeah!"
  595. May 24 16:07:10 <Melons> "'Might?'"
  596. May 24 16:07:23 <Break> "We know what we're doing, we swear! Siggy's a bodyguard by profession, and we've actually got a few badges from back home!"
  597. May 24 16:08:02 <Break> "We've got combat buddies, and on a scale from one to 'as fuck', Siggy is mentally charged as fuck."
  598. May 24 16:08:03 <Aori_Radidjiu> Sigmund nods. "We're not amateurs, after-" Sami puts her hand over his mouth. "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!"
  599. May 24 16:08:22 <Break> "I've got the arm for combat support, and Sami.....well, Sami can make them go blind with camera flashes or something."
  600. May 24 16:08:27 <Melons> These people and all of their mouth covering, are they even fucking aware of how gross that is?
  601. May 24 16:08:34 <Break> "Or make them dance with Salsa Verde, whichever!"
  602. May 24 16:08:48 <Melons> "...alright. We'll leave it to you and go find the shipping entrance."
  603. May 24 16:09:03 <Break> "Oh, and uh."
  604. May 24 16:09:11 <Break> "Don't worry if you hear maracas from here."
  605. May 24 16:09:14 <Break> "Salsa Verde~"
  606. May 24 16:09:36 <Melons> They might actually be crazier than me!
  607. May 24 16:10:08 <Melons> "Alright, well I think we've done about all we can for support...so we...should really...be getting the fuck back to that water."
  608. May 24 16:10:12 <Mayuri> "Well... they can't be worse than a coordinator... right?"
  609. May 24 16:10:25 <Break> "Probably!"
  610. May 24 16:10:38 <Break> "Show me your swimsuit when you get back~" Ree says, nudging Mel.
  611. May 24 16:10:47 * Knox starts to leave the battlefield. "Good luck to you guys then."
  612. May 24 16:10:48 <Aori_Radidjiu> Sami grins, tapping a pokeball, a Ludicolo with Maracas popping out. "Salsa Verde it is! I'm ready to do this!"
  613. May 24 16:12:30 <Aori_Radidjiu> Sigmund gets Sami off his mouth. "I bet Salsa would like some rain..." He grins.
  614. May 24 16:15:07 * Ramiel has quit (Ping timeout)
  615. May 24 16:16:09 <Knox> Knox hurries back towards the pool of water!
  616. May 24 16:16:17 * Melons grumbles something about the layered clothing actually being hot for real, and also you can't fucking swim that way. With a sigh, she strips off the PIRATES jacketf, revealing part of the armpit tattoos underneath, as well as releasing a rather sweet smell.
  617. May 24 16:16:37 * Ramiel (chatzilla@sux-A86A49C8.slkc.qwest.net) has joined
  618. May 24 16:17:47 <Knox> Knox isn't looking at Mel's tats, and all he does for an outfit change is get his rebreather in and put his flippers on. Let's do this, gentlemen.
  619. May 24 16:17:56 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I guess it might be a waste a use of it now, but..." He points a hand at a spot on the ceiling, tapping a Pokeball to make a shiny Wooper pop out. "Ward, stabilize the ground so we don't cave in. You all should get out of the way." He concentrates before a jet black beam shoots from his hand and creates a hole in the ceiling, causing a bunch of ROCKS ot fall down, the hole reaching
  620. May 24 16:17:56 <Aori_Radidjiu> up into the ground and letting light filter through. "I figured they'd have doors that could withstand this, but cave ceilings typically aren't very well reinforced and already have pressure on them." The room shakes a bunch, but then the Wooper stomps on the ground to cause a COUNTERSHOCKWAVE to stabilize the collapse. "Now Salsa can get some rain. Shall we begin, Ree?"
  621. May 24 16:18:31 <Break> "Bailamos~"
  622. May 24 16:19:19 <Aori_Radidjiu> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kAHHFc-gIeI Sami grins. "Let's go!"
  623. May 24 16:20:50 <Aori_Radidjiu> Meanwhile, you all run to take the water route, and that's where we close for now! Next time, Infiltration!
  624. May 24 16:20:58 <Aori_Radidjiu> </session>
