  1. Mar 15 13:25:49 <Aori_Radidjiu> It's THURSDAY, May 27th, 10 AM
  2. Mar 15 13:27:28 <Aori_Radidjiu> Med is leaving with the group to go see Lecia, correct?
  3. Mar 15 13:29:12 <Med> Seems like it!
  4. Mar 15 13:29:55 <Aori_Radidjiu> All right. HOw do you want to go about saying goodbyes~?
  5. Mar 15 13:30:14 * Mayuri has planted herself in the ship! Probably
  6. Mar 15 13:31:17 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mel, roll me perception. Mayuri, roll me stealth
  7. Mar 15 13:31:49 * Med has a lot of brothers to say goodbye too. She also needs to invite a Siet to come along.
  8. Mar 15 13:31:59 <Melons> 3d6+7 My special eyes!
  9. Mar 15 13:32:00 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, My special eyes!: 19 [3d6=5,3,4]
  10. Mar 15 13:32:12 <Mayuri> 2d6-2 I'm not very sneaky.
  11. Mar 15 13:32:13 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, I'm not very sneaky.: 0 [2d6=1,1]
  12. Mar 15 13:32:15 <Aori_Radidjiu> Les also roll me Perception, if Rammy's READY TO ROCK
  13. Mar 15 13:32:29 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mayuri tries to sneak onto the boat when nobody's looking
  14. Mar 15 13:33:01 <Med> "Hey, wait..." she thinks outloud near Shadow Claw.
  15. Mar 15 13:33:06 <Med> "You and I never had a rematch!" D:
  16. Mar 15 13:33:48 <Aori_Radidjiu> She does that by waltzing over with her supersparkly Minccino and wearing bright pink clothes and letting her Swablu go over and nest on Mel's head
  17. Mar 15 13:34:09 <Mayuri> "Hii~"
  18. Mar 15 13:34:09 <Ramiel> 4d6+6 I can see again! Where are we?
  19. Mar 15 13:34:10 <DiceMaid-9001> Ramiel, I can see again! Where are we?: 18 [4d6=3,2,4,3]
  20. Mar 15 13:34:16 <Aori_Radidjiu> LES IS ON THE SHIP
  21. Mar 15 13:34:24 <Aori_Radidjiu> You all are about to leave Sepia
  22. Mar 15 13:34:33 * Ramiel is now known as Lesieli
  23. Mar 15 13:34:54 <Aori_Radidjiu> Shadow Claw scratches his head. "Oh, right. Well, I'm not in a hurry, are you?"
  24. Mar 15 13:35:00 <Lesieli> And when did we arrive in the first place? That was way too long a nap
  25. Mar 15 13:35:15 <Melons> Melanie sniffs. "...it smells like I might get diabetes." She glances down at Mayuri, though not quite as down as she'd like. "Where you goin', kid?"
  26. Mar 15 13:35:45 <Med> "I dunno, prizes might be useful~"
  27. Mar 15 13:35:56 <Mayuri> "Here~"
  28. Mar 15 13:36:31 <Melons> "...and exactly what makes you think you've a place here?"
  29. Mar 15 13:37:17 <Mayuri> "Well... Uhm..."
  30. Mar 15 13:38:00 <Aori_Radidjiu> You arrived on Sepia 2 days ago, at which point the group went to the local gym and got the Sacrifice Badge. You slept in yesterday, when the group went to investigate some SPOOKY HAUNTED MANSION, but were woken up with a start when the ship was ATTACKED by a bunch of robots. You and Mirai (offscreen) tried to fend them off along wtih Bearington and what'shisname, with Mistral going
  31. Mar 15 13:38:00 <Aori_Radidjiu> to get help, but...
  32. Mar 15 13:38:01 <Aori_Radidjiu> well
  33. Mar 15 13:38:12 <Aori_Radidjiu> You don't remember much of that fight, you got hit on the head pretty hard
  34. Mar 15 13:39:25 <Mayuri> "Can I please?" ^.^
  35. Mar 15 13:39:54 <Melons> Siiiiiiiigh. "Surely you have somewhere else to go, maybe somewhere safer? And with more...cuddly things?"
  36. Mar 15 13:40:17 * Lesieli groggily emerges from below deck, half-dressed and hair amessed, trying to recall everything that's happened the past few days and acutely unaware there's other people around atm
  37. Mar 15 13:40:22 <Melons> Despite the way she describes them, Mel still reaches up to pat the Swablu.
  38. Mar 15 13:41:09 <Aori_Radidjiu> AS FOR MED, Shadow Claw shrugs. "Well, you already earned them, so it's really only yourself that's stopping you from getting rewards. How's about I give you half now and half later or something?"
  39. Mar 15 13:41:26 <Mayuri> "It'd take a while to talk my way back to Hoenn, so~"
  40. Mar 15 13:41:48 <Melons> "Surely you have family nearby, right?"
  41. Mar 15 13:41:59 <Med> "Sure~ I might be unstoppable by the time I get back, though~"
  42. Mar 15 13:44:12 <Aori_Radidjiu> He hands you 2000 PY. "You can get the other prize stuff later, Med."
  43. Mar 15 13:44:41 * Med now has... 3000 PY? I think? well, that's what's going on my character sheet!
  44. Mar 15 13:45:30 <Med> "Thanks~" :3
  45. Mar 15 13:48:24 <Mayuri> "They're on another island! A pretty far island."
  46. Mar 15 13:48:28 <Mayuri> "They'd just send me out again, soo~"
  47. Mar 15 13:48:28 * Med hugs Shadow Claw D:
  48. Mar 15 13:49:13 <Med> "Try to stay safe, okay?" she tells him, even though she's (potentially) the one with assassins after her.
  49. Mar 15 13:49:24 <Aori_Radidjiu> He hugs back, a little surprised at that. "Sure thing!"
  50. Mar 15 13:49:51 <Melons> "They...I mean you...well...I can't tell you to stay here, knowing how dangerosu it is with two potential gods ready to raze the place...so...fine, you can come with us to Conch, but then I'm finding a way to send you home."
  51. Mar 15 13:50:31 <Mayuri> "Well see then~" :o
  52. Mar 15 13:50:34 <Mayuri> We'll*
  53. Mar 15 13:51:11 * Lesieli notices peoples and stumbles over, rubbing her head "Man, what is even going on, so out of it"
  54. Mar 15 13:51:42 <Melons> Mel jumps a bit at Lesieli's voice and OH MY GOD IT'S A ZO- no, it's not a zombie. Not yet. "Oh...you're awake...no brain damage, I hope?"
  55. Mar 15 13:52:12 <Aori_Radidjiu> Med! As you leave the gym, you find Siet just outside the building. "I take it we're leaving about now, yes?"
  56. Mar 15 13:52:19 * Mayuri blinks at Lesieli ;o
  57. Mar 15 13:52:31 <Med> "Oh, yup!"
  58. Mar 15 13:52:40 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Lain wanted to come and say good-bye, but his girlfriend dragged him off somewhere."
  59. Mar 15 13:52:46 <Lesieli> "No more than usual I hope. We're at . . . where the heck is this, again?" She peers over the unfamiliar coastline
  60. Mar 15 13:52:50 <Med> "Huh? Off where?!"
  61. Mar 15 13:53:22 <Melons> 2#1d20 Suppose I'll get my travel time Pickups out of the way
  62. Mar 15 13:53:23 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Suppose I'll get my travel time Pickups out of the way: 7 [1d20=7], 19 [1d20=19]
  63. Mar 15 13:53:29 <Aori_Radidjiu> "The beach, I believe."
  64. Mar 15 13:53:52 <Med> "Huhh... well, we're going after him, then!~"
  65. Mar 15 13:54:25 <Aori_Radidjiu> "He didn't say which beach, though..." He puts a hand to his chin.
  66. Mar 15 13:54:26 * Lesieli looks to Mayuri "And when'd you get so short Mel?"
  67. Mar 15 13:54:36 <Med> "Knives, Fuzzy - search mission! We're tracking down Lain Mizou!"
  68. Mar 15 13:55:11 <Aori_Radidjiu> Knives gives a salute, Fuzzy sits straight up, ribbons at the ready.
  69. Mar 15 13:55:19 <Med> 2d6+2+2 knives perception;5d6+2+1d6+2+2 fuzzy perception (focused training + focused orders op)
  70. Mar 15 13:55:20 <DiceMaid-9001> Med, knives perception: 7 [2d6=2,1]; fuzzy perception (focused training + focused orders op): 19 [5d6=2,2,1,2,1; 1d6=5]
  71. Mar 15 13:55:21 <Melons> "...a-are you serious? She's not even remotely similar to m- we're in Sepia. About to go back to Conch actually. We had some fun: there were pumpkins and gods and robots and I fucking hate this place too."
  72. Mar 15 13:55:34 * Kain is now known as Knox
  73. Mar 15 13:56:04 * Mayuri blinks
  74. Mar 15 13:56:07 <Aori_Radidjiu> Knives looks left
  75. Mar 15 13:56:10 <Aori_Radidjiu> he looks right
  76. Mar 15 13:56:13 <Mayuri> "I look like Mel?"
  77. Mar 15 13:56:13 <Aori_Radidjiu> then he shrugs.
  78. Mar 15 13:56:16 <Aori_Radidjiu> FUZZY, ON THE OTHER HAND
  79. Mar 15 13:56:29 <Aori_Radidjiu> 1d20 Tracker
  80. Mar 15 13:56:30 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, Tracker: 9 [1d20=9]
  81. Mar 15 13:56:40 <Med> (aory, tracker changed in 1.04)
  82. Mar 15 13:56:44 <Aori_Radidjiu> (it did?)
  83. Mar 15 13:56:48 <Med> (it's perception-based now)
  84. Mar 15 13:56:53 <Aori_Radidjiu> (I was just looking at your page ;_;)
  85. Mar 15 13:57:07 * Lesieli turns to Mel then "Oh, that sounds like fun. But when'd you get so tall Med? And your chest . . ." She instinctively reaches to, uh, physically indicate what she's talking about.
  86. Mar 15 13:57:13 <Med> (b-but my page is accurate other than a typo)
  87. Mar 15 13:57:41 <Aori_Radidjiu> (oh, WHOOPS, I see hwo I goofed that)
  88. Mar 15 13:59:41 <Melons> Oh, I also forgot to mention that Mel's voice is sounding a bit raspier than normal. "Med's...taller than I am"
  89. Mar 15 13:59:49 * Knox emerges out from under deck, too. And this is the first time Les has seen him, probably. He's a dude, nearly six foot with dark blue hair, blue eyes, wearing just the PIRATES uniform and a few bandages are still visible in places he was burned. He looks muscular and has a bit of an eternally bored expression on his face.
  90. Mar 15 14:00:43 <Lesieli> But no reaction to my groping attempt? That's. . . interesting. . .
  91. Mar 15 14:00:58 * Mayuri tilts her head a little
  92. Mar 15 14:01:00 <Aori_Radidjiu> (warrants further research)
  93. Mar 15 14:01:01 <Mayuri> "Who's this girl?"
  94. Mar 15 14:01:28 * Melons reaches up/down/whatever to lightly tap Les's cheeks with her palms and smoosh them inward. "Are you awake? Are you having a stroke? Should I be worried?"
  95. Mar 15 14:01:33 <Aori_Radidjiu> Fuzzy sniffsniffs and then starts RUNNING OFF. There's one point where he goes in a circle, but he EVENTUALLY leads you to a beach where Lain's sitting on the sand, while his girlfriend's off in the water~. She's in a blue bikini, a paler girl, you think she was from Unova or some part of Europe? Her accent's weird.
  96. Mar 15 14:01:40 <Aori_Radidjiu> (I think I gave her name once but I forgot)
  97. Mar 15 14:02:19 <Aori_Radidjiu> (think I said it was Olivia or Claire. One of those. Hrng.)
  98. Mar 15 14:02:51 <Melons> "This is Lesieli. She's kind of like a cute hobo or something."
  99. Mar 15 14:03:05 <Med> 1d100 dicemaid, what is med wearing today? i can probably figure it out from a d100.
  100. Mar 15 14:03:06 <DiceMaid-9001> Med, dicemaid, what is med wearing today? i can probably figure it out from a d100.: 43 [1d100=43]
  101. Mar 15 14:03:31 <Med> 1d100 no try again, she's out in public
  102. Mar 15 14:03:32 <DiceMaid-9001> Med, no try again, she's out in public: 57 [1d100=57]
  103. Mar 15 14:03:35 <Knox> "Lesieli, huh?" he asks, probably seeming to spring out of nowhere if the aforementioned lady wasn't paying attention.
  104. Mar 15 14:04:05 <Knox> Mel and Mayuri more than definitely saw him coming.
  105. Mar 15 14:04:50 <Mayuri> "She's kinda cute." :o
  106. Mar 15 14:05:02 * Med follows Fuzzy. She's pretty certain the circling was totally intentional and for fun rather than actually part of the tracking, but it's too cute to stop :(
  107. Mar 15 14:05:04 <Melons> Only a negative perception/intuition check would prevent one from realizing just how uncomfortable Melanei is after apparently stepping into a grope in order to smoosh Les's face.
  108. Mar 15 14:05:58 <Lesieli> "Don't I normally worry you?" Cheek Grope -> More Squishing. So Squishy.
  109. Mar 15 14:06:52 <Aori_Radidjiu> Once Lain's in sight, Fuzzy raises his head and POINTS at Lain with his nose and ribbons, going stock still.
  110. Mar 15 14:07:11 <Melons> "...please stop that." ;-;
  111. Mar 15 14:07:13 * Med giggles at Fuzzy, petting him~ "Good boy~"
  112. Mar 15 14:08:14 <Lesieli> "Ah, sorry, didn't realize . . and when Bearington become human finally?" She turns to the newcomer guy
  113. Mar 15 14:08:26 * DiceMaid-9001 is now known as HigginsvonHiggins
  114. Mar 15 14:08:49 * HigginsvonHiggins is now known as DiceMaid-9001
  115. Mar 15 14:08:51 <Mayuri> "E-Er... are you two, like, girlfriends?"
  116. Mar 15 14:09:30 <Lesieli> "Huh? Ewww, no way"
  117. Mar 15 14:09:34 <Aori_Radidjiu> He relaxes and closes his eyes, the ribbons all doing a little wiggly thing while you do that, and Lain turns his head at you saying that. "Oh, Med!" He waves. "How's it going?"
  118. Mar 15 14:09:35 <Melons> "No...my girlfriend was the other one that got knocked out...this one is just dumb...and no, that's our latest replacement. Cerise got kidnapped by ninja butlers from her family or something if you missed that too...and the kid is just like a stowaway."
  119. Mar 15 14:09:53 <Melons> 1d6-2 OBVIOUSLY Lesieli wasn't saying "ew" because she thinks Mel is gr- OH GOD WHY DOES SHE HATE ME?
  120. Mar 15 14:09:54 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, OBVIOUSLY Lesieli wasn't saying "ew" because she thinks Mel is gr- OH GOD WHY DOES SHE HATE ME?: -1 [1d6=1]
  121. Mar 15 14:10:03 <Aori_Radidjiu> MEANWHILE ON THE BOAT
  122. Mar 15 14:10:25 <Melons> Mel immediately tears up.
  123. Mar 15 14:10:27 <Aori_Radidjiu> A voice comes from belowdecks. "Did someone say ~girlfriend~?"
  124. Mar 15 14:11:30 <Knox> Apparently Lesieli is a bit too distracted groping Mel to notice the newcomer that addressed her out of nowhere! Ah, well. Knox glances as the new voice speaks up.
  125. Mar 15 14:11:45 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mirai walks up with a wave~. And then notices Mel is starting to cry. "Whoa, what's got you in a bunch, hon?" She walks over and starts giving Mel some reassuring pats on the back.
  126. Mar 15 14:11:46 <Knox> (Or wait no, I missed her response)
  127. Mar 15 14:11:51 <Lesieli> Nah, I just mistook you for Bearington is all
  128. Mar 15 14:11:55 * Med is wearing a teal sundress and teal sneakers, with mixmatched stockings (one blue and another green, but with elements of the opposite color worked into each)
  129. Mar 15 14:11:56 <Knox> "Excuse me?"
  130. Mar 15 14:12:03 <Melons> Mirai also probably notices Lesieli groping Mel. Probably.
  131. Mar 15 14:12:30 <Mayuri> "Oh... so... you're both, like, lesbian?" o.o
  132. Mar 15 14:12:32 <Knox> "I think you need new eyes."
  133. Mar 15 14:12:44 <Med> "Hi!~" she waves back, before running up to him~
  134. Mar 15 14:12:49 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Leeeees, what'd you do to the poor girl?"
  135. Mar 15 14:13:06 <Lesieli> "Oh boy, yet another person to remember. This boat's just filled with them, isn't it?"
  136. Mar 15 14:13:08 <Aori_Radidjiu> BACK TO MED, Lain BRACES HIMSELF FOR IMPACT, standing up and getting ready to catch you.
  137. Mar 15 14:13:14 <Med> hug~
  138. Mar 15 14:13:16 <Melons> "...no...I'm secretly a dude." She manages to respond to the kid through light tears.
  139. Mar 15 14:13:48 <Knox> "Tell me about it. I'm going to have to introduce myself to everyone... anyway, You can call me Knox. That's the name that's always stuck."
  140. Mar 15 14:14:15 <Knox> And then he notices Mel too when Mirai points it out. He just looks baffled at her tearing up.
  141. Mar 15 14:14:38 <Melons> She then latches onto Mirai to actually cry, actual tears instead of paranoia tears.
  142. Mar 15 14:14:57 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mirai is all ???
  143. Mar 15 14:15:03 <Lesieli> "Nocks, alright, I'll try and remember that somehow. Rammy'll remind me at least"
  144. Mar 15 14:15:18 * Mayuri blink blink
  145. Mar 15 14:15:19 <Mayuri> "So... uhm... I'm Mayuri! Hi!"
  146. Mar 15 14:15:20 <Aori_Radidjiu> Something pops out from behind Lesieli
  147. Mar 15 14:15:31 <Melons> "I'msorryI'msorryI'msorryIleftyoualoneandvulnerable!" ;-;-;-;
  148. Mar 15 14:15:32 <Aori_Radidjiu> A blue octohedron, floating in the air.
  149. Mar 15 14:15:35 <Aori_Radidjiu> It hums softly.
  150. Mar 15 14:15:43 <Knox> "I'm still not sure what she's doing here." he points to Mayuri. "But no one else has kicked her off yet so I guess she's heading to Conch with us."
  151. Mar 15 14:15:56 * Knox squints at the mini-Ramiel
  152. Mar 15 14:16:04 <Aori_Radidjiu> It's about the size of Les' head.
  153. Mar 15 14:16:04 <Knox> "The hell is that?"
  154. Mar 15 14:16:25 <Lesieli> (Oh, that big? I figured it's be about half that size)
  155. Mar 15 14:17:03 <Aori_Radidjiu> (well, it's technically smaller, it's just the height and width about match up)
  156. Mar 15 14:17:06 * Lesieli finally recognizes the other newcomer, and promptly glomps it "Awww, it's so cute, can't we keep it?"
  157. Mar 15 14:17:26 * Mayuri is glomped? o.o
  158. Mar 15 14:18:15 <Melons> Mel quickly wipes her tears away because she's a professional goddamnit. "...she's coming with us to Conch, because I couldn't leave her here knowing the crazy shit that could go down at any minute. But I'm going to send her home to Hermit afterwards."
  159. Mar 15 14:19:10 <Knox> He then walks over to Mel and Mirai. "So, you're Mirai, right? You took a nasty lump from those robots...I'm a new crewman, Knox." He's polite enough, even if he doesn't LOOK super interested. He's at least introducing himself to the semi-permanent guests onboard the ship.
  160. Mar 15 14:19:58 <Med> "I'm leaving for a bit~"
  161. Mar 15 14:20:04 <Melons> Mel looks steadily less comfortable the closer Knox gets to Mirai.
  162. Mar 15 14:20:12 <Med> "It might be dangerous and stuff, so I wanted to say goodbye~"
  163. Mar 15 14:20:34 <Mayuri> "Y-Yeah! Please keep me!"
  164. Mar 15 14:21:00 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mirai gives Knox a good shake. "Nice to meet you~! I'm feeling just fine, so don't worry about it!"
  165. Mar 15 14:21:02 <Lesieli> "Wouldn't let me keep the cat one, least I can keep this one, right?"
  166. Mar 15 14:21:07 * Mayuri seems to be.. a little surprised by the sudden affection from Les, but, not exactly unhappy about it or anything
  167. Mar 15 14:21:54 <Knox> "Good. Your girlfriend was worrying herself to pieces over the whole thing." he shakes back. He doesn't seem to infect Mirai with poison cooties or anything but a Mel might never know.
  168. Mar 15 14:23:34 <Aori_Radidjiu> MEANWHILE, Lain nods. "Right, then be sure to be careful! Keep yourself ready at all times, a bit of exercise is pretty good to keep you on your toes!" He nods, smiling. He's just wearing some purple swimming trunks. His girlfriend runs over, noticing that she doesn't have Lain's UNDIVIDED ATTENTION, scrunching up her face a bit, although it softens a bit once she gets closer. "Oh,
  169. Mar 15 14:23:34 <Aori_Radidjiu> sister is leaving?" She's speaking Kantonese, actually, but it's a bit bad, heavily accented.
  170. Mar 15 14:24:21 <Aori_Radidjiu> She hasn't spoke in anything but Kantonese, despite it obviously not being her native tongue.
  171. Mar 15 14:25:45 <Melons> "W-Where's Med and her brother? We need to get going..." Expert subject change.
  172. Mar 15 14:26:17 <Knox> ""Probably taking her sweet time."
  173. Mar 15 14:26:43 <Knox> He then looks at Lesieli. "Wait, 'cat one'?"
  174. Mar 15 14:27:18 <Med> "Yup~ first to Conch City, and then to maybe save the world or something~"
  175. Mar 15 14:27:44 <Melons> "Don't talk about the cat."
  176. Mar 15 14:27:44 <Mayuri> "Wait... What's this about a cat?"
  177. Mar 15 14:27:53 * Mayuri probably hugs back or something
  178. Mar 15 14:28:14 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I was okay with the cat..." Mirai frowns.
  179. Mar 15 14:28:20 <Melons> "I don't want to hear anything from that country again...except from that one guy...I suppose he was alright..."
  180. Mar 15 14:28:24 <Knox> "You know, it's probably best I don't afk too much into it."
  181. Mar 15 14:28:41 <Knox> *ask
  182. Mar 15 14:29:15 <Aori_Radidjiu> Back to Med. Lain's girlfriend nods. "Good is journey, then!" Lain follows up with "Yeah, good luck."
  183. Mar 15 14:29:43 <Med> "Thanks!~"
  184. Mar 15 14:31:08 * Med waves. Is her older sister on the island too?!
  185. Mar 15 14:31:27 <Med> (even though i'd personally assumed that she worked on Conch or something)
  186. Mar 15 14:31:53 <Aori_Radidjiu> (If you're wondering how she'd be screwing up her Kantonese, it's mostly stuff like putting ใงใ™ where it doesn't need to be and some weird particle misuse)
  187. Mar 15 14:32:54 <Aori_Radidjiu> Maxene is doing some training at Conch
  188. Mar 15 14:32:56 <Med> (original med was terrible at speaking english~)
  189. Mar 15 14:33:13 <Med> (this med might be too?!)
  190. Mar 15 14:33:23 <Med> (good thing the campaign isnt in pokemerica)
  191. Mar 15 14:33:31 <Med> TO THE SHIP THEN
  192. Mar 15 14:34:22 <Mayuri> (Mayuri did take a trip to Hoenn...)
  193. Mar 15 14:34:37 <Mayuri> (Does that mean she speaks Hoennese which is really just an accent? :P)
  194. Mar 15 14:35:16 <Aori_Radidjiu> (Yeah, it's just a dialect like Kansai-ben, don't ask me the exact one, though, I don't know TOO much about Japanese dialects)
  195. Mar 15 14:37:10 <Aori_Radidjiu> IT'S ABOUT NOW THAT MED AND SIET SHOW UP ON THE BOAT
  196. Mar 15 14:38:06 <Knox> "Aaaand there she is. About time. Weigh anchor already and let's get out of here."
  197. Mar 15 14:39:13 <Aori_Radidjiu> Lani pops out of nowhere. "Aye'm on it, matey!" Then he rushes off to get the anchor sorted out and get the ship MOVING
  198. Mar 15 14:39:30 * Knox heads to the front of the boat and leans against the railing with a grin.
  199. Mar 15 14:39:40 <Mayuri> "So... uhm... who are you?" :o
  200. Mar 15 14:39:46 * Mayuri at Lesieli!
  201. Mar 15 14:39:56 <Med> "We're taking the little girl?"
  202. Mar 15 14:40:23 <Melons> "Not gonna leave her in a dangerous place like this."
  203. Mar 15 14:40:41 <Knox> "I guess!" he calls back. "She's already run away from home. Least we can do is drop her off in the most populated city in the region."
  204. Mar 15 14:40:51 <Med> "It's even more dangerous with us - we're all marked for death, y'know!"
  205. Mar 15 14:41:05 <Aori_Radidjiu> The boat is soon moving off! We can skip to when you guys arrive at Conch whenever you want~
  206. Mar 15 14:41:34 <Melons> "I think I'd rather at least leave her with Lecia instead of on an island where pumpkins reign and literal gods are preparin to incarnate or reincarnate themselves."
  207. Mar 15 14:42:25 <Mayuri> "Can't be scarier than sneaking off to Hoenn~"
  208. Mar 15 14:42:36 <Knox> "First sail with the new crew... Guess this is it, then." he mutters himself as they leave Sepia.
  209. Mar 15 14:43:02 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mirai is leaning against a railing now, hands behind her head. "I think I should visit Palm again, let him know I'm all right~"
  210. Mar 15 14:43:57 <Melons> Oh god, does Mirai have any new scars since starting? Would Palm notice them? Both things obviously must be true. Time for impending ultimate despair.
  211. Mar 15 14:44:29 <Aori_Radidjiu> Siet is a bit wobbly on the boat, seems he's not used to them, so he goes to his room and tries to keep himself from puking.
  212. Mar 15 14:47:07 * Mayuri is probably used to boats from going on ferries a lot?
  213. Mar 15 14:47:16 <Aori_Radidjiu> Hyup.
  214. Mar 15 14:51:05 <Aori_Radidjiu> TWO DAYS LATER, the group ONCE AGAIN arrives at Conch City. I'm guessing you're going STRAIGHT TO HEADQUARTERS, yes? The main part of the city has its usual noise and bustle, the sky scrapers towering high, and there are dock workers pushing carts of some goods or another down the wooden docks.
  215. Mar 15 14:51:57 <Melons> Nope, straight to the wildest strip clubs.
  216. Mar 15 14:52:01 * Med flirts it up with Knox over the next two days, but never quite actually puts out~
  217. Mar 15 14:52:28 <Knox> He's receptive enough to the flirting, but never quite tries again.
  218. Mar 15 14:52:51 * Melons awkwards it up with Knox over the next two days, but who didn't see that coming~
  219. Mar 15 14:54:10 * Knox disembarks the ship once they arrive. He stops on the docks, taking in a deep breath and pausing a good several moments.
  220. Mar 15 14:54:22 <Mayuri> (No on-boat RP scene? D:)
  221. Mar 15 14:54:38 <Knox> (That's what minis are for)
  222. Mar 15 14:54:41 <Knox> (:D)
  223. Mar 15 14:54:42 <Aori_Radidjiu> (^)
  224. Mar 15 14:55:03 <Aori_Radidjiu> (This is a good excuse for you to do minis with other people in the next week~)
  225. Mar 15 14:55:31 <Aori_Radidjiu> (also we do boat travel SO MUCH, I usually skip over boat travel unless you guys get attacked or something)
  226. Mar 15 14:55:34 <Aori_Radidjiu> ANYWAY
  227. Mar 15 14:56:02 <Melons> Mel totally trained Koa during that boat trip, though she would have attempted to hide it. But given how hard it is to hide a magic aura ghost training in the middle of the night, anyone that would have popped up on deck probably would have seen them.
  228. Mar 15 14:56:43 * Mayuri grooms Hanako and Chiri lots! Isn't sure how you groom a plant or a ball of cotton candy
  229. Mar 15 14:57:32 <Aori_Radidjiu> If you guys are stopping by the normal docks, instead of going through THE SECRET ENTRANCE to the LECIA CAVE, the city is bustling as normal, the docks are filled with merchant sailors pushing wares of food (whether vegetables, fruits, or meats, it varies), materials, toys, and other goods. There are occasionally children playing on the sides of the wooden docks, and the occasional
  230. Mar 15 14:57:32 <Aori_Radidjiu> group of upper class people going to or from a pleasure cruise.
  231. Mar 15 14:57:52 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mirai gets off the boat after you dock up to go off and visit Palm~
  232. Mar 15 14:57:53 <Knox> (Oh whoops, wasn't aware there were SECRETS)
  233. Mar 15 14:58:19 <Aori_Radidjiu> (there's a more conventional way to reach Lecia's place anyway)
  234. Mar 15 14:58:20 <Knox> (Up to the others I suppose, disregard Knox if that happens)
  235. Mar 15 14:58:53 <Melons> (We probably used the secret entrance)
  236. Mar 15 14:59:00 <Aori_Radidjiu> (and since Mirai is visiting Palm, it'd be better to drop her off at the docks first regardless, so either way you guys DO stop at the docks at some point.)
  237. Mar 15 14:59:42 <Knox> In that case, Knox just stares down the way at one of the piers when they drop Mirai off.
  238. Mar 15 14:59:46 <Melons> Either way, Mel seems considerably less on edge when Mirai splits off.
  239. Mar 15 15:00:12 <Aori_Radidjiu> She makes sure to give everyone a goodbye (and Mel a kiss on the cheek) before she leaves
  240. Mar 15 15:00:28 * Knox absently waves her off.
  241. Mar 15 15:02:17 * Lesieli emerges alive, remembering to put pants on this time, unlike the previous scene at Sepia
  242. Mar 15 15:03:55 * Mayuri is an elegant coordinator. Of course she dresses well :T
  243. Mar 15 15:04:29 * Med is wearing a certain sundress~
  244. Mar 15 15:05:15 <Aori_Radidjiu> THEN you all go off to the secret entrance, located where the city meets the small patch of wilderness on teh island, a series of steel cables disguised as vines pulling up the face of a cliff, revealing a cove, the inside of which is covered with matte purple tiles on the walls and ceilings, an occasional flourescent tile of light keeping the area bright. Eventually it goes into a
  245. Mar 15 15:05:15 <Aori_Radidjiu> docking area, where your boat can dock onto a smooth black matte tiled docking stations. There's a grey door with a keypad and a camera, that looks to be reinforced, judging by its rather thick frame.
  246. Mar 15 15:05:19 <Knox> 1d6 intuition to notice Mel's rapidly shifting comfortability
  247. Mar 15 15:05:20 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, intuition to notice Mel's rapidly shifting comfortability: 2 [1d6=2]
  248. Mar 15 15:06:29 * Knox stuffs a sack full of robot parts before they disembark.
  249. Mar 15 15:06:40 <Aori_Radidjiu> good plan.
  250. Mar 15 15:07:01 <Aori_Radidjiu> In addition to having a keypad, the door also has a call button.
  251. Mar 15 15:08:20 <Melons> Mel's got Po and Brigitte floating around her while she flips through her grimoires, which of course float before her as well like any self-respecting TK, on her way to the Lecia Cave. Adept Focus and Master Acrobatics seem like a reasonably good multitasking combo.
  252. Mar 15 15:08:28 * Lesieli Two days rest and medical? care is probably enough to put me back in health, I suppose. Least I'll stop thinking everyone is someone else
  253. Mar 15 15:08:58 * Mayuri headtilts
  254. Mar 15 15:09:01 <Mayuri> "Are you sure you're the good guys?"
  255. Mar 15 15:10:03 <Melons> "Hm?"
  256. Mar 15 15:10:15 <Lesieli> "Would badguys be this fluffy?" She's got her whole entourage, of course - Ball of Fluff in the arms, planthat on the head, and tiny little pirate on guard, attempting to swashbuckle everything he sees
  257. Mar 15 15:10:36 <Melons> Mel pokes buttons on the keypad. She probably should have paid more attention last time.
  258. Mar 15 15:10:43 <Mayuri> "Well... I thought in the moves, it's the bad guys with elaborate secret bases."
  259. Mar 15 15:10:51 <Knox> "You shouldn't even be here." he rolls his eyes. "We're not supposed to -look- like the good guys. That kind of spoils the point. So yes, there are secret hideouts and whatever. You're already a security risk, though."
  260. Mar 15 15:11:15 <Lesieli> The Trouble Trio is off doing whatever they do, causing chaos. The entire town's merchant quarter has a collective shudder.
  261. Mar 15 15:11:24 <Melons> "No, we better fit the rebel protagonist concept or somesuch, considering the bad guys in this case redefined part of reality."
  262. Mar 15 15:12:18 <Aori_Radidjiu> Putting in random numbers of course gets you an "ACCESS DENIED". Maybe you should try the call button instead.
  263. Mar 15 15:12:39 <Melons> Oops. No turrets at least. That seems good. Call button it is!
  264. Mar 15 15:12:44 * Knox moves on with his sack, looks at the keypad, then the door, then the call button.
  265. Mar 15 15:12:55 <Melons> If it's the kind where you talk after pressing it, Mel asks for the stewardess to bring her more peanuts.
  266. Mar 15 15:14:56 <Mayuri> "Well..."
  267. Mar 15 15:15:00 <Mayuri> "Wait, security risk?" :T
  268. Mar 15 15:15:23 <Melons> "To be fair, she's probably one of the lowest risks in the crew, all things considered..."
  269. Mar 15 15:16:04 <Knox> "You're like, what, ten, and wandering around with basically secret agents? Then again..." he looks at Mel and nods with a frown. "Everyone else is lax enough, so if it was an issue it'd have probably come up already."
  270. Mar 15 15:17:32 <Lesieli> "Secret Agent? That sounds kinda cool, never thought about it that way~"
  271. Mar 15 15:18:12 <Melons> "Of course, that requires the ability to lie, cheat, and steal." Mel taps the call button a few more times.
  272. Mar 15 15:18:58 <Knox> "No problem here, but I guess the rest of the crew, not so much?" he asks Mel.
  273. Mar 15 15:19:37 <Lecia> Almost as if this sort of talking is concrete proof as to who's at the door, it opens without even a word! ...After it opens, though, there's a "Hi, hurry on in~"
  274. Mar 15 15:19:50 <Lesieli> "Hey, I'm just here to provide some brains for the group, you all can do the heavy lifting and sneaking and whatnot."
  275. Mar 15 15:20:52 <Melons> "Just remember that you're our Q~. We've plenty enough that qualify as Bonds."
  276. Mar 15 15:20:54 * Knox walks in, wordlessly.
  277. Mar 15 15:21:40 * Med goes inside~
  278. Mar 15 15:22:21 * Melons claps her grimoires shut and falls in with the crowd.
  279. Mar 15 15:23:51 * Mayuri headtilts and looks to Les and Mel and Med
  280. Mar 15 15:23:54 <Mayuri> "Should I come too?"
  281. Mar 15 15:23:57 <Knox> "So, how difficult is that?" he asks about Mel's telekinesis on the way.
  282. Mar 15 15:24:11 <Melons> "Yeeeees, half-pint, you too."
  283. Mar 15 15:24:13 <Knox> "You've come this far, you might as well." he says flatly.
  284. Mar 15 15:24:44 <Melons> "Oh, at first I was worried about exploding heads, but then I learned that's apparently pretty hard and now it's like just having extra hands that aren't bound by mundane things like flesh and sinew."
  285. Mar 15 15:24:48 * Vandaeron is now known as Mackenzie
  286. Mar 15 15:24:51 <Melons> "Or bones."
  287. Mar 15 15:24:52 <Lesieli> "Don't wanna leave you alone out here after all. Just hope she doesn't make you into a cyborg or something."
  288. Mar 15 15:25:27 <Knox> "Kickass."
  289. Mar 15 15:25:47 <Mayuri> "Eh?" :T
  290. Mar 15 15:29:30 * Med pulls Mayuri along if she's too slow about following~
  291. Mar 15 15:29:57 * Mayuri is tugged by a Med~
  292. Mar 15 15:30:04 <Med> "You'll be fine~" she reassures the little girl.
  293. Mar 15 15:30:25 * Mackenzie makes his way up out of the ship and into the group and stuff. Because I'm cool at intros.
  294. Mar 15 15:30:26 <Aori_Radidjiu> You go through the door, into a hallway (this one's more white and purple) and to another door, which is already unlocked, and now you come to the workshop, where Lecia as usual has tons of gadgets and gizmos and other things piled around the place. It's very wide and has a very tall ceiling, in one corner of which there's junk and gadgets piled all the way to the ceiling. Most of
  295. Mar 15 15:30:26 <Aori_Radidjiu> the gadgets of course, are dark colors, the most common of which is purple. There's a couch and the most sick gaming rig ever made in another corner, where there are simultaneously some anime playing and an overly long animation of a GIANT ROBOT blowing up another GIANT ROBOT. There's a workbench in another corner, which is probably the most pristine part of the place, as it's where
  296. Mar 15 15:30:27 <Aori_Radidjiu> she actually WORKS, and clutter doesn't help speed work along. And of course, there's some various doors here and there on the walls, to where you don't know.
  297. Mar 15 15:30:59 <Melons> "Pretty sure I was around her age the first time I got myself into spooky happenings...of course it was finding a fox in the trash instead of impending armageddon. So I guess it's not quite the same..."
  298. Mar 15 15:32:20 <Knox> He glances around, looking for the titular Lecia of the lecia cave.
  299. Mar 15 15:33:01 <Mackenzie> "So, have fun without me?" Mack says to no one in particular.
  300. Mar 15 15:33:44 <Mayuri> "Spooky? Like, ghost spooky or..."
  301. Mar 15 15:34:03 <Melons> "Like ghost spooky. But I guess neither incident revolves around ghost."
  302. Mar 15 15:34:23 * Med looks around for a Lecia.
  303. Mar 15 15:35:37 * Knox glances back at Mack. "About time you joined us."
  304. Mar 15 15:36:33 * Mayuri pets a sparkly Minccino ^.^
  305. Mar 15 15:37:16 * Melons tries to find out if Nohfaces really don't have faces.
  306. Mar 15 15:37:20 <Lecia> You don't have too far to look, cause she's...surprisingly, at the workbench instead of the many times that she was watching TV! Rather, she's already gotten up, but still waiting back near the bench. "Welcome~" Despite that tilde, you can't help but notice a bit of worry. "Today's gonna be a busy day, huh? Gotta use the purification machine, examine parts that don't seem quite normal...ask
  307. Mar 15 15:37:20 <Lecia> how you all managed to get another kid on board!"
  308. Mar 15 15:38:48 <Mayuri> "Hanako swooned!"
  309. Mar 15 15:38:58 <Melons> "...how...how did you know?" The fact that Po probably makes real expressions now probably explains it."
  310. Mar 15 15:38:58 <Med> "Hi, Lecia~"
  311. Mar 15 15:39:00 <Melons> -"
  312. Mar 15 15:39:21 * Med goes up to hug her~ she doesnt need to be professional when she's not on payroll anymore~
  313. Mar 15 15:39:43 <Melons> "Oh, also dream things."
  314. Mar 15 15:40:02 <Med> Siet totally got dragged along.
  315. Mar 15 15:40:03 <Med> totally.
  316. Mar 15 15:40:20 <Med> (not to the hug, just to the lecia cave in general)
  317. Mar 15 15:40:25 <Aori_Radidjiu> Siet is GLAD TO BE ON LAND. He's taking in deep breaths and leaning against a wall.
  318. Mar 15 15:41:10 <Knox> "Hey, Lecia." he says, holding a bag of STUFF over his shoulder. He may as well let the others go first though.
  319. Mar 15 15:41:10 <Aori_Radidjiu> (the answer is that she wasn't, unless Med mentioned it when she called. which she might have!)
  320. Mar 15 15:41:31 <Lecia> (DID YOU?)
  321. Mar 15 15:41:51 <Med> (huhwhat?)
  322. Mar 15 15:41:59 <Aori_Radidjiu> (about Po being purified)
  323. Mar 15 15:42:28 <Med> (it might have come up but med wouldn't have mentioned it out of nowhere)
  324. Mar 15 15:43:13 <Mackenzie> Mack clears his throat and steps forward. "We were attacked by Team Aether; more specifically, a clone of you. The ship was damaged."
  325. Mar 15 15:43:36 * Med totes mentioned that though~
  326. Mar 15 15:43:50 <Aori_Radidjiu> (So Lecia totally knew. herp)
  327. Mar 15 15:43:55 <Melons> "Oh, right, that."
  328. Mar 15 15:44:04 <Knox> "Clone, what? Well, either way the chick that attacked looked like you at least."
  329. Mar 15 15:44:22 * Med also brought up that she wanted to go to dreamland, and she'd be bringing her brother along, and other stuff
  330. Mar 15 15:44:32 <Knox> He sets down the sack near the workbench for now.
  331. Mar 15 15:44:49 <Mayuri> "Oh.. was that what the fireworks were about?"
  332. Mar 15 15:45:01 <Lecia> (WELL, IGNORE THE PURIFICATION MACHINE PART THEN--unless Po is actually out, in which case don't, I don't even know right now)
  333. Mar 15 15:46:11 <Melons> Po is totally out..
  334. Mar 15 15:46:21 <Melons> -.
  335. Mar 15 15:46:38 <Aori_Radidjiu> Po is smiling.
  336. Mar 15 15:46:42 <Aori_Radidjiu> Less creepily than usual.
  337. Mar 15 15:46:45 <Mackenzie> "You weren't there for it, but I'm coming to the 'clone' conclusion because when we took our brief trip to Visiwa, we did encounter a fairly similar 'evil clone' scenario with the person we went there to meet, and this shares many similarities with that encounter."
  338. Mar 15 15:47:04 <Melons> "I thought that was just her sister..."
  339. Mar 15 15:47:08 <Aori_Radidjiu> Like he's actually smiling on purpose rather than his face was stitched that way
  340. Mar 15 15:47:23 <Mackenzie> "It was totally an evil clone."
  341. Mar 15 15:47:37 <Mackenzie> Mack is mocking Melons's tone.
  342. Mar 15 15:47:53 <Mayuri> "Or a Ditto."
  343. Mar 15 15:48:05 <Melons> Mel purses her lips and shuts up.
  344. Mar 15 15:48:12 <Med> "D'ya think it's this world's Lecia?"
  345. Mar 15 15:48:14 <Lecia> Hug returned! She does keep the hug brief though. "I know because I have some intuition, and he really looks happy~ And...you're sure that it was Aether? ...And you're really sure that it was a clone? ...Did you get any physical samples from her? Strand of hair or something?"
  346. Mar 15 15:48:56 <Mackenzie> "She shed some of her power armor during the battle if that counts."
  347. Mar 15 15:48:57 <Melons> "Could be some remnants of blood or hair on the scrap somewhere."
  348. Mar 15 15:48:59 * Med is okay with a short hug (she's totes wearing Lecia's sundress btw).
  349. Mar 15 15:49:00 <Knox> "Something might have gotten caught in the parts of her suit that fell off, but nothing specific."
  350. Mar 15 15:49:13 <Aori_Radidjiu> Considering that she was inside the mech for th emajority of the encounter, it's rather unlikely that any hair or anything got anywhere but on the scrap, yeah.
  351. Mar 15 15:50:10 <Melons> "...Po did curse her...although I have no idea exactly how that works other than both participants sharing pain, it might be too metaphysical to get anything from, but then again you're the one with bullshit magic toasters."
  352. Mar 15 15:50:19 <Knox> "Basically, your face, but her voice was different."
  353. Mar 15 15:50:37 <Melons> "And she was attacking us with mechs."
  354. Mar 15 15:51:09 <Lecia> "It could be me again somehow..." She gives Med a look. THAT'S THAT THING NO ONE IS SUPPOSED TO KNOW, WHAT ARE YOU DOING. "...and I suppose there must be a sample, however small, inside that! Was worried that it could have been parts that don't have any way to get samples, good to know that isn't the case!"
  355. Mar 15 15:51:34 <Med> psh, it's not like they pay attention to the important details anyway~
  356. Mar 15 15:53:21 <Lecia> Well, point, but still! "Of course, the question is how this all suddenly popped up. Makes me wonder...just, lemme set the machine up, get all some of those parts on my bench--and the only odd feelings I've had lately are from the news I've been hearing!"
  357. Mar 15 15:55:10 <Melons> "Only Lesieli was there for the initial attack, so none of the rest of us would have known how they showed up or if anything else was said. And she was a bit loopy after getting knocked out. Suppose we could ask the bear or Lani..."
  358. Mar 15 15:55:13 <Mayuri> "Are you sure it wasn't just a person who looks like her?"
  359. Mar 15 15:55:45 <Knox> He shrugs at Mayuri.
  360. Mar 15 15:56:36 <Lecia> Lecia seems determined to, as some might say, eat the vegetables first, since her eyes kept on lighting up at the prospect of examining tech, since she hurries along to...the PC! She totally has one. "The PC hooks up to the purification machine, soooo just navigate the usual menus, but desposit it in the Purification Chamber box, then let me work my magic~"
  361. Mar 15 15:57:31 <Melons> "Um...okay..." She calls Po back and beep, boop, WAAAAAAA- oops, pressed the wrong thing, blip blip, voops.
  362. Mar 15 15:58:13 <Aori_Radidjiu> Po was deposited in Lecia's PC!
  363. Mar 15 15:59:24 * Knox seems interested in witnessing this.
  364. Mar 15 16:01:15 * Mayuri blinks
  365. Mar 15 16:01:25 <Lecia> "And...well, lemme just say things get pretty weird around here sometimes. Is it my secret twin I never heard about? A dimensional clone here to absorb me? A sign that I need to stop Aether from doing funky things? Just plain coincidence? It's hard to tell, sometimes!" And once that's done, Lecia navigates OTHER MENUS. Eventually the PC screen is showing some virtual reality depiction
  366. Mar 15 16:01:25 <Lecia> of the Haunter, along with pretty easily readable stats. There's totally spots for other Pokemon that could be surrounding the Haunter, but since no one seems interested in using the Purification Machine to actually do the legwork of purification, they're not there, just spots!
  367. Mar 15 16:01:27 <Mayuri> "People actually use the PC system?" o.o
  368. Mar 15 16:01:53 <Lesieli> "I know. Bizarre, isn't it?"
  369. Mar 15 16:02:59 <Melons> "W-What? I have..." Mel counts, "...16 pokemon."
  370. Mar 15 16:03:40 <Mayuri> "Are you a breeder or something?"
  371. Mar 15 16:03:42 * Mayuri headtilts
  372. Mar 15 16:03:55 <Lecia> "We do! Some people don't really like it, but in the end, it makes things easier. In any case, Po seems ready, so...you can do the honors of confirming~" She puts her finger on THAT ENTER KEY (but doesn't press it) for a second or two, to point out that it's what you press to get past the message of 'Are you sure you want to purify Po?'--whoa, it knew the nickname. How do PCs do that?
  373. Mar 15 16:05:02 <Melons> "N-no, I thought about it once but...uh...I...spent my time doing flips and shit instead...so...um...oh, yeah..." Dat confirm.
  374. Mar 15 16:05:13 <Aori_Radidjiu> CLICK
  375. Mar 15 16:07:20 <Aori_Radidjiu> There's a WHIRRING from the PC, it looks like it's going into OVERDRIVE. Po spins around as his body starts being enveloped in light, from the center outward, kind of like evolution, but as the light pushes, a bunch of ICKY BLACK AND RED STUFF starts pushing out, clouding the display in black and red. The display gets completely covered in it for a moment, before there's a FLASH and
  376. Mar 15 16:07:20 <Aori_Radidjiu> all of the stuff just dissipates into the air. Po is facing the view, and he smiles at the camera now~.
  377. Mar 15 16:07:21 <Aori_Radidjiu> ...
  378. Mar 15 16:07:54 <Aori_Radidjiu> Then there's ANOTHER light from Po, this one more characteristic of EVOLUTION. The PC brings up a text box. "What!? Po is evolving!"
  379. Mar 15 16:08:36 <Melons> Hnnnnnnnngh!
  380. Mar 15 16:08:44 <Lecia> "If you want to stop it from here, you press the B key...I'm pretty sure, anyway. But that's only if you want to!"
  381. Mar 15 16:08:49 <Aori_Radidjiu> There's a set of stats showing data like level and HP and the like, which are steadily increasing, and then suddenly JUMP UP again as he starts evolving~
  382. Mar 15 16:09:10 * Melons don't care 'bout no damn fancy calculators.
  383. Mar 15 16:10:07 <Aori_Radidjiu> Finally,t he light subsides, as a GENGAR shows up. The text box pops up again. "Po evolved into Gengar!" Po lets out a cackle at this point, kyeheheheheheheheh~
  384. Mar 15 16:10:33 <Aori_Radidjiu> Then a menu shows up. "Replace Shadow Move with...?"
  385. Mar 15 16:10:51 <Aori_Radidjiu> It has a list of basically every tutor and Egg move that Po's line has access to.
  386. Mar 15 16:11:16 <Aori_Radidjiu> (this counts as Natural)
  387. Mar 15 16:12:06 <Melons> What's that, you say? Metronome is a tutor move for Gengar? Hyuuuuuuuuuup, that one.
  388. Mar 15 16:12:24 <Aori_Radidjiu> Bitchin'
  389. Mar 15 16:12:32 <Aori_Radidjiu> Po forgot Shadow Leech, and...
  390. Mar 15 16:12:35 <Mayuri> "... Are you sure this is the same PC system?"
  391. Mar 15 16:12:36 <Aori_Radidjiu> Po learned Metronome!
  392. Mar 15 16:12:57 <Melons> "I don't know, I just want to see my Po-Po for real!"
  393. Mar 15 16:13:06 <Knox> "It's hooked up to something else."
  394. Mar 15 16:13:18 <Aori_Radidjiu> Po pulls at his eyes to make them look bigger and blows a raspberry at the display
  395. Mar 15 16:14:21 <Aori_Radidjiu> Oh, and of course he loses Cruelty
  396. Mar 15 16:14:30 <Melons> Mel does glance away for a bit to make sure Med is totally cool with Po now that she's not staring into the maw of madness every time he's out.
  397. Mar 15 16:14:40 <Lecia> "Yeah, the normal PC system has little icons, good for management, but the Purification Chamber deserved something fancier! Once you're done, just...keep pressing B until you get to familiar menus, and then withdraw him~"
  398. Mar 15 16:15:10 * Med seems to have been cool with Po in general, actually. Apparently going shadow and back made Med a bit less spooked by shadows.
  399. Mar 15 16:15:12 <Melons> This is a fucking dumb interface. Bxhowevermanytimesrequired.
  400. Mar 15 16:15:47 <Knox> b9

  405. Mar 15 16:17:14 <Mayuri> "I don't get how people keep track of enough Pokemon to need the PC..."
  406. Mar 15 16:18:18 <Aori_Radidjiu> Eventually, you pull Po out of the PC, and he pops right out of his ball and jumps over and gives Mel a hug.
  407. Mar 15 16:18:39 * Melons counterhu- wait, is he more solid now or is this going to be awkward?
  408. Mar 15 16:18:58 <Aori_Radidjiu> He's more solid now
  409. Mar 15 16:19:18 <Aori_Radidjiu> Then he gives you a nice friendly non-damaging lick with his tongue~
  410. Mar 15 16:19:29 <Melons> Hnnnnngh!
  411. Mar 15 16:20:33 <Aori_Radidjiu> Then he...
  412. Mar 15 16:20:34 <Aori_Radidjiu> ...
  413. Mar 15 16:20:35 <Aori_Radidjiu> melts
  414. Mar 15 16:20:42 <Aori_Radidjiu> or dissolves
  415. Mar 15 16:20:42 <Aori_Radidjiu> or
  416. Mar 15 16:20:44 <Aori_Radidjiu> something
  417. Mar 15 16:21:02 <Melons> 4d6+4 Mel gets nice and worn out by having to hide how much she enjoys it. Guile, mofos
  418. Mar 15 16:21:04 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Mel gets nice and worn out by having to hide how much she enjoys it. Guile, mofos: 21 [4d6=3,6,4,4]
  419. Mar 15 16:21:07 <Melons> oops

  421. Mar 15 16:21:34 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, Detect Guile o3o: 16 [4d6=4,4,2,4]
  422. Mar 15 16:21:43 <Aori_Radidjiu> He pops up out of Mel's shadow from behind her juuuust enough to give everyone else a shooshing motion.
  423. Mar 15 16:22:45 <Lesieli> 1d20 No, you mess with DM like this
  424. Mar 15 16:22:45 <DiceMaid-9001> Lesieli, No, you mess with DM like this : 14 [1d20=14]
  425. Mar 15 16:22:52 <Lesieli> Crap, didn't work

  427. Mar 15 16:23:21 <DiceMaid-9001> Med, see through meldeception: 21 [5d6=1,3,3,6,2]
  428. Mar 15 16:23:58 * Knox just watches the scene for a moment, and nods.
  429. Mar 15 16:24:33 * Mackenzie is so not even paying attention at this point.
  430. Mar 15 16:24:41 <Knox> He looks over at Lecia. "Tenebrae hasn't made any marked improvements yet, but... Mackenzie's trying to do something by starting a rivalry between him and his heracross, and it seems to be motivating him, so..."
  431. Mar 15 16:26:04 <Knox> "Still probably going to be a while before we can try this thing out for him."
  432. Mar 15 16:26:33 <Lecia> Lecia nods. "I...can see that working! It takes a while to purify a Shadow Pokemon, but as long as you don't give up, you'll get to use this, too~"
  433. Mar 15 16:27:02 * Med finds a place to sit down and play with Fuzzy while they do purification things~
  434. Mar 15 16:27:27 <Aori_Radidjiu> Fuzzy wants to play pattycake, although it uses ribbons instead of hands
  435. Mar 15 16:29:02 <Melons> Oh, because Med won the tie by divine intervention specifically, it's like impossible for Med to not realize how hot and bothered Mel is.
  436. Mar 15 16:29:04 <Aori_Radidjiu> Now then. Lecia has a dilemma. PARTS or DREAM STUFF? Dream stuff takes a bit of setup, so that should probably be later, though!
  437. Mar 15 16:29:44 <Med> IC setup? since she'd totally have had plenty of warning >_>
  438. Mar 15 16:30:06 <Aori_Radidjiu> Well, it also requires med to go to bed and all
  439. Mar 15 16:30:06 * Med plays pattycake with Fuzzy~
  440. Mar 15 16:30:16 <Lecia> "And now...yeah, these parts are gonna eat at me forever if I don't get to them right away, shouldn't take too long!"
  441. Mar 15 16:31:59 <Mayuri> "So... I think I still need some introducing to people..."
  442. Mar 15 16:32:01 <Melons> Not just Med, Mel adamantly insisted on joining her.
  443. Mar 15 16:32:26 <Aori_Radidjiu> Fuzzy has 4 ribbons
  444. Mar 15 16:32:30 <Aori_Radidjiu> he can multitask
  445. Mar 15 16:32:50 <Aori_Radidjiu> ANYWAY LECIA, TIME FOR PART INSPECTION...
  446. Mar 15 16:35:01 <Aori_Radidjiu> (Just PMed him the results~)
  447. Mar 15 16:35:19 * Mackenzie doesn't even notice when he's mentioned D:
  448. Mar 15 16:35:44 * Melons looks around for Po and shrugs.
  449. Mar 15 16:38:37 <Aori_Radidjiu> It's about now that Gran (the man in black, with the bald head and the monotone) shows up. He gives a bow to everyone. "Is there anything I can do for any of you?"
  450. Mar 15 16:39:32 <Lecia> She looks, she pulls out tools, she scans, quite busy! ...Though if you're curious to see how she wields these tools with frightening efficency and speed and look over, you'll notice that the look of worry that would have been impossible to catch earlier is a tad bit more palpable. Busy busy...!
  451. Mar 15 16:40:45 <Melons> "Can you get us like an unreasonable amount of standard restoratives and what not to help us out with risking our necks and all that?"
  452. Mar 15 16:41:05 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Unreasonable?"
  453. Mar 15 16:41:13 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Then I give you none."
  454. Mar 15 16:41:19 <Melons> "Okay find, reasonable, a reasonable supply for fighting evil gods."
  455. Mar 15 16:41:22 <Melons> *fine
  456. Mar 15 16:41:44 <Lecia> "...Well, at least it isn't really a clone..." Mutter mutter.
  457. Mar 15 16:42:50 <Knox> He glances at the man in black when he shows up, wondering to himself where the hell he came from.
  458. Mar 15 16:43:16 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Reasonable supply for fighting evil gods..." He walks off...
  459. Mar 15 16:43:19 <Knox> "...doing fine here, thanks."
  460. Mar 15 16:44:33 <Melons> "He's going to come back with some medication based on the fact that the AVERAGE person doesn't fight evil gods, and thus there is no reasonable way of handling it other than assuming I'm dangerously crazy, just watch!"
  461. Mar 15 16:44:55 <Aori_Radidjiu> He comes back a bit later with a bottle, and hands it to Mel. "Mistress Lecia told me that if she were to ever seriously consider fighting a god, that I should administer this."
  462. Mar 15 16:44:58 <Aori_Radidjiu> ...
  463. Mar 15 16:45:01 <Aori_Radidjiu> It's a tranquilizer
  464. Mar 15 16:45:21 <Knox> "Definitely not a restorative."
  465. Mar 15 16:45:34 <Lecia> "...but this is still pretty bad. I suppose this is a better time than ever to just quietly mention that you all might have some of my tech on you, but it isn't anything that you should worry about! ...Well, normally."
  466. Mar 15 16:45:48 <Lecia> "And it might restore sanity! A time out can do that."
  467. Mar 15 16:46:05 <Knox> "So what's the breakdown?" he asks Lecia, gesturing to the parts.
  468. Mar 15 16:46:08 <Mayuri> "Don't you, like, have funding or something?"
  469. Mar 15 16:46:14 <Melons> "..." Mel takes it. Because it could still be useful for sticking other people with.
  470. Mar 15 16:46:14 <Mayuri> "This guy seems a little mean..." :T
  471. Mar 15 16:46:37 <Aori_Radidjiu> Gained 1x Tranquilizer!
  472. Mar 15 16:46:51 <Melons> "It's like working in an office, except you have to buy all of your own supplies, and instead of filling out reports, you're at the risk of brutal death. Or eternal torture I imagine in some cases."
  473. Mar 15 16:48:05 <Lecia> "Well, the person's DNA is similar to mine, but I think I might have accidentally given them a head start, and if you're all wondering why I don't supply you guys with state of the art technology, considering what I have here, this is why."
  474. Mar 15 16:48:40 <Melons> "I was more wondering why we're not provided with state-of-decades-old medicine."
  475. Mar 15 16:48:50 <Knox> "We could knock over a pokemart and use a pardon for it." he says idly.
  476. Mar 15 16:49:06 <Mayuri> "That's a little evil..."
  477. Mar 15 16:49:24 <Melons> "If we're clever, you still a bit from multiple and don't even need to do that."
  478. Mar 15 16:49:37 <Knox> "Nah, evil is robbing from a hospital."
  479. Mar 15 16:50:16 <Lecia> "THAT'S because--please don't give them an excuse to give me more trouble than they already do--just giving people things would sap funding for bigger pictures!"
  480. Mar 15 16:50:46 <Lecia> "...But! We all have finally purified our first Shadow Pokemon! That's cause for celebration! I could give some out~"
  481. Mar 15 16:51:14 <Melons> "Oh boy, full heals for effectively disarming a bomb."
  482. Mar 15 16:51:23 * Mackenzie looks to his pocket. State of the art technology, huh...
  483. Mar 15 16:54:45 <Knox> "So not necessarily a clone, but a copycat, huh?"
  484. Mar 15 16:55:12 <Lecia> "Hey, Full Heals are great! When you're poioned, paralyzed, and frozen at the time time, it can mean a lot!"
  485. Mar 15 16:55:19 <Knox> "Great. As long as this tech's already out there, though, anything we can salvage this shit for?"
  486. Mar 15 16:55:45 <Melons> "Maybe she can make us some of those toy robot hands."
  487. Mar 15 16:56:26 <Mayuri> "I don't even know her!"
  488. Mar 15 16:56:26 <Lecia> "That said, it's a copycat that's incredibly similar to me, and thus knows how to actually apply what they know! ...But yeah, since the worst possible person to actually have this stuff...has this stuff, it really couldn't hurt!"
  489. Mar 15 16:57:03 <Knox> "Yeah, you wandered off again or something when it happened." he says to Mayuri.
  490. Mar 15 16:58:01 <Melons> "Hey Lecia, wanna babysit?"
  491. Mar 15 16:58:57 <Knox> 5d6 Knox trying to hide his excitement for FLAMETHROWERS or something

  493. Mar 15 16:59:41 <Aori_Radidjiu> Nice trips and dubs
  494. Mar 15 16:59:43 <Lecia> "...Right, I was going to ask what she's doing here. ...But first, hi! I'm Lecia, resident tech extrordinaire, super robot fan, and still making every attempt I'm actually allowed to in order to fight for justice~"

  497. Mar 15 17:00:37 <Melons> "Couldn't leave her to play with a Darkrai and Giratina. Do you have a way of sending her home to Hermit?"
  498. Mar 15 17:02:41 * Mayuri never said that :T
  499. Mar 15 17:02:43 * Mayuri doesn't think
  500. Mar 15 17:05:04 <Lecia> "...I certainly have a way to send her home, but the question would be how she got here! She...has parents or something, right?"
  501. Mar 15 17:05:14 <Mayuri> "Sorta."
  502. Mar 15 17:05:22 <Mayuri> I don't think they'd take me back.
  503. Mar 15 17:05:27 <Mayuri> ""*
  504. Mar 15 17:06:07 <Melons> "Despite looking like she belongs in a gross pageant somewhere, she's...not completely helpless."
  505. Mar 15 17:06:48 <Knox> He squints at Mayuri.
  506. Mar 15 17:06:53 <Mayuri> "Eh?"
  507. Mar 15 17:06:55 * Mayuri looks a little offended.
  508. Mar 15 17:06:58 <Mayuri> "Pokemon contests are not gross..." :T
  509. Mar 15 17:07:14 <Lecia> "She doesn't seem lost, though--yeah, that sounds like the kind of answer I was expecting. ...She doesn't seem as worried as a kid normally would be though, so maybe...well, you guys should probably work out if she ACTUALLY wants to go home or not!"
  510. Mar 15 17:07:46 <Knox> "And if she doesn't? What do we do with a tag-along homeless kid in this outfit?"
  511. Mar 15 17:07:54 <Lecia> "...In the meantime, hey Knox~"
  512. Mar 15 17:07:58 <Knox> "Yeah?"
  513. Mar 15 17:08:14 <Melons> "W-Wait, why are we in charge of that? Isn't she like jeopardizing our mission or something?"
  514. Mar 15 17:08:41 <Lesieli> "We could. . . huggle her?"
  515. Mar 15 17:09:19 <Lecia> "Can I borrow that glue gun~? These parts here gave me an idea~"
  516. Mar 15 17:09:22 <Melons> "...people....people actually say that...out loud?"
  517. Mar 15 17:09:57 <Mayuri> "That sounds nice!" ^.^
  518. Mar 15 17:10:23 <Lecia> "...Also, Mirai doesn't seem to have messed things up too much, so...well, if she wants to tag along, go test her resolve! It IS a pretty dangerous job to tag along in."
  519. Mar 15 17:10:34 <Lecia> "You know, assassins and whatnot."
  520. Mar 15 17:10:36 <Melons> "THERE'S A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MIRAI AND THIS KID!"
  521. Mar 15 17:10:54 <Knox> "Yeah, like half a decade at least."
  522. Mar 15 17:11:09 <Knox> He puls his specialized GLUE CANNON and hands it over.
  523. Mar 15 17:11:17 * Melons winces from yelling, yer throat scratching a bit still. She's generally pretty grumpy for being indirectly called a pedophile.
  524. Mar 15 17:11:21 <Lesieli> "Well they're both adorable, aren't they? Doesn't seem like a huuge difference to me"
  525. Mar 15 17:11:21 <Knox> *pulls out his
  526. Mar 15 17:12:26 <Aori_Radidjiu> Knox likes giving ladies the glue gun
  527. Mar 15 17:12:43 <Mayuri> "I thought the only thing special about Mirai was being Mel's girlfriend."
  528. Mar 15 17:12:48 <Med> woah. there are children present D:<
  529. Mar 15 17:14:10 <Lecia> "Les gets it! ...Still, she seems sound enough for a kid, though maybe a bit...innocent? Hrm. That COULD be a problem. If she wants to tag along, then really, you should be testing her, or at least asking why she doesn't want to go home."
  530. Mar 15 17:14:30 <Med> "Hey, Lecia~"
  531. Mar 15 17:14:49 <Knox> "This logic is completely backwards, but fine."
  532. Mar 15 17:15:11 <Melons> Mel storms off into the corner to seethe.
  533. Mar 15 17:15:11 <Knox> "I guess we'll figure something out." he grumples.
  534. Mar 15 17:16:18 <Lecia> Glue gun, get! "Alright, let's see if I can get this working...a flamethrower AND a glue gun can combine to a hot glue gun that can still shoot normal glue and...well fire. Should be fun~" LECIA GETS TO WORK. "What is it, Med?" Busybusybusy.
  535. Mar 15 17:16:40 <Med> "When're we gonna go to dreamland?~"
  536. Mar 15 17:17:02 <Knox> "A flamethrower, huh? ...radical."
  537. Mar 15 17:18:15 <Knox> He pokerfaces and finds a place to sit down.
  538. Mar 15 17:18:36 <Lecia> "Since it involves sleeping, I'm trying to save that for last!"
  539. Mar 15 17:18:58 <Med> "Okay~ I think Mel and Siet wanted to be involved, at least. I dunno 'bout the others."
  540. Mar 15 17:20:39 <Knox> "Is this that thing you talked to me about before?"
  541. Mar 15 17:20:58 <Med> "Where I might be able to meet my other self? Yeah~"
  542. Mar 15 17:21:12 <Knox> "Alright, then. Hell, why not? I'm in."
  543. Mar 15 17:22:05 <Lecia> "Got it~" LECIA IS HARD AT WORK. GIVE A SIGN FOR WHEN IT'S DONE! She works fast!
  544. Mar 15 17:23:30 <Mayuri> "Fire seems.... a little more dangerous than grass or water or somethng..."
  545. Mar 15 17:23:39 <Mayuri> "On a ship, at least."
  546. Mar 15 17:23:53 <Knox> ...The mutiny isn't a wooden ship, is it Aori?
  547. Mar 15 17:24:02 <Knox> Or is it
  548. Mar 15 17:24:14 <Aori_Radidjiu> It has some wooden parts, but it's mostly made of steel
  549. Mar 15 17:24:15 <Melons> Diversity? Oh, Mutiny.
  550. Mar 15 17:24:27 <Lecia> "It is, but the ship was made by me! It's tempered to not be that weak to fire!"
  551. Mar 15 17:24:42 <Knox> "Besides, that's what fire extinguishers are for."
  552. Mar 15 17:25:06 <Lecia> "As for other ships, it might be good against them, in which case, all the more reason to have it if the goal is to sink their ship~"
  553. Mar 15 17:26:51 <Knox> "You can't let a fear of something dangerous stop you from actually making use of it. Fuck, any weapon is dangerous in a lot of situations. Whether it's a gun, a chainsaw, or open flames, all you need is to take precautions and have a little common sense."
  554. Mar 15 17:27:41 <Melons> Mel creeps back over from her angsty corner. "...who would actually use a chainsaw as a weapon?"
  555. Mar 15 17:27:44 <Mayuri> "Guns and chainsaws usually only hurt what you point them at..."
  556. Mar 15 17:27:51 <Mayuri> >.<
  557. Mar 15 17:28:28 <Knox> "Oh, yeah. Guess you're right. They're a bit messy and hard to clean."
  558. Mar 15 17:29:08 <Lecia> "Someone who's either confident enough to use whatever they want in a fight or someone who's aiming to be intimidating~"
  559. Mar 15 17:29:18 <Melons> "And loud, and not particularly reliable nor durable." Oh, Mel probably has Gramps on her back again, even though he's largely useless.
  560. Mar 15 17:29:58 <Knox> "But like Lecia said, unless you're some sort of supernaturally powered fighter you're probably not going to charge a guy with a live chainsaw."
  561. Mar 15 17:30:17 <Melons> "...oh...yes...some sort."
  562. Mar 15 17:30:47 <Knox> "Hell, I'd hesitate too."
  563. Mar 15 17:31:50 <Knox> "Anyway I think you get my point."
  564. Mar 15 17:32:06 <Knox> "And no, kid, don't be naive." he says to Mayuri. "Accidents can happen, especially if you're careless."
  565. Mar 15 17:32:49 <Knox> "If someone drops a loaded gun and it discharges, no telling where the hell that shot's gonna end up."
  566. Mar 15 17:37:11 <Melons> Mel finds somewhere to sit until it's time to snooze.
  567. Mar 15 17:38:06 <Lecia> "...And done!" Lecia hands over the FINISHED PRODUCT back to Knox! Aori can describe it if so desired~
  568. Mar 15 17:38:16 <Aori_Radidjiu> Knox's gun has been modified so that there is a dial on the top, which has three settings: GLUE, HOT GLUE, and FIRE. GLUE works like it used to, HOT GLUE does an AC 9 status attack that BURNS normally, and SLOWS on 16-20, and does Stuck and Trapped on 20. FIRE does Flamethrower as an attack.
  569. Mar 15 17:38:31 <Knox> Oh shit.
  570. Mar 15 17:39:08 <Knox> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0NjBSLT3HI
  571. Mar 15 17:39:10 <Aori_Radidjiu> HOT GLUE charges cost 300, FLAMETHROWER charges cost 500
  572. Mar 15 17:39:18 * Med plays with Blues and Fuzzy while she waits, of course~
  573. Mar 15 17:40:15 <Aori_Radidjiu> Scratch that, GLUE and HOT GLUE use the same charges
  574. Mar 15 17:40:32 * Knox takes the cannon back and looks over it, nodding. "This... is going to be nice. Thanks. I owe you one for this."
  575. Mar 15 17:40:41 <Aori_Radidjiu> You get 3 additional GLUE/HOT GLUE charges on top of what you already had, and three FIRE charges too.
  576. Mar 15 17:40:55 <Lecia> "The other stuff seems better as stand-alone equipment, but I couldn't pass up improving that one~"
  577. Mar 15 17:41:53 <Aori_Radidjiu> Annnnd here's where we'll call it for today
  578. Mar 15 17:41:54 * Lesieli whistles "Whooo, that's a fancy little gadget you've got there."
  579. Mar 15 17:41:54 <Knox> He nods and packs it up for now~
  580. Mar 15 17:47:41 <Knox> "Hell yes it is. At the very least I'm not going to have anymore damn problems with robots."
  581. Mar 15 17:48:00 <Knox> He relaxes and looks over his new weapon as they get ready for other stuff~
  582. Mar 15 17:48:02 * Knox is now known as Kain
  583. Mar 15 19:27:33 * Med kisses Siet on the cheek<3
  584. Mar 15 19:27:37 <Aori_Radidjiu> </session>
