  1. Jul 05 20:19:19 <zooftopper> Sometime between womping Chione and whatever adventures Monday brings, Chase made a return trip to the Sandseeker Temple. To check in on a certain Legendary who had not long ago, borrowed a Carbuncle.
  2. Jul 05 20:20:50 <zooftopper> Making your way out there always sort of sucks. It's a long trip, it's stupidly hot, and the sand is not fun at all to deal with. But none the less, you make your second trip out and head to the temple where the dream and physical world blur.
  3. Jul 05 20:21:48 <Chase_Violet> I thought Shark Fighter set some things up! Guess not even he braves the desert. Either way, back to the temple indeed.
  4. Jul 05 20:22:15 <Chase_Violet> At least Chase would ride his bat this time
  5. Jul 05 20:22:24 <zooftopper> He did, but you still need to go from Sandseeker to the temple. As you do arrive, you see the Red Carbuncle drinking from the oasis out front. It looks up in scurries on into the building as you approach.
  6. Jul 05 20:23:47 <Chase_Violet> "Looks like it's getting along well enough out here." he murmurs to Brahms, before heading in. This was the one that leapt on Elise's head, if memory serves.
  7. Jul 05 20:27:50 <zooftopper> Inside, amongst the ornate statues and wall carvings, and the sleeping Oya in the center...there's a little pet bed and neon pink bowl of dry food. It looks totally out of place and silly, but it's there. The Carbuncle has scurried off out of sight, though.
  8. Jul 05 20:31:46 <Chase_Violet> He laughs a little bit. "Probably the friendliest fairies we've seen so far, come to think of it." He approaches Oya's resting spot a moment, before deciding to be more polite before clearing his throat, binding Aura Guardian, and gently nudging Oya with a slight feeling of 'alertness' like how he messed around with Aura with Yaretzi.
  9. Jul 05 20:32:19 <Chase_Violet> Much better than blaring his guitar, shaking her, or throwing a bucket of water, clearly.
  10. Jul 05 20:32:55 <Chase_Violet> If that still doesn't work, he tries after a moment. <Oya?>
  11. Jul 05 20:34:53 <zooftopper> The statue starts to soften, <Nnnnnngh. Five more minuuuuutes.>
  12. Jul 05 20:39:17 <Chase_Violet> "How much time do you spend sleeping?" he wonders a bit. "Dumb question, probably,given what you do..."
  13. Jul 05 20:41:25 <zooftopper> <Nngggggh I dun wannaaaaa.> She is completely unsolidified at this point, and rolling around on her pedastle. <What do you waaaaant?>
  14. Jul 05 20:44:14 <Chase_Violet> "Hah, sorry, sorry. I was curious how things were coming along with the Carbuncle, and the other form you were trying to prep. Seems like you two been gettin' along - or Jenks has been feeding it. Somethin'."
  15. Jul 05 20:45:25 <zooftopper> She jolts awake, a look of panic as her eyes jolt at the food bowl. <Shit! I knew I forgot something! WHere - oh it hasn't touched the food at all.>
  16. Jul 05 20:46:44 <zooftopper> She grumbles and yawns, scooting around to face you. <Bleeeh. You're already back about that? Weren't you here just a few hours ago?>
  17. Jul 05 20:46:51 <zooftopper> It was, in fact, like 3-4 days ago.
  18. Jul 05 20:47:15 <Chase_Violet> "Huh. Well, it was getting itself a drink when I showed up, hell if I know where it is now. ...huh? Naw, it's been like half a week. Time perception's a bitch for you, I bet."
  19. Jul 05 20:48:12 <Chase_Violet> He stretches a bit and looks for a place to have a seat in the meantime.
  20. Jul 05 20:48:43 <zooftopper> There's some pillows for sitting stacked neatly in a corner.
  21. Jul 05 20:48:56 »» Chase_Violet grabs one and pulls it over.
  22. Jul 05 20:50:08 <zooftopper> The Bunky scampers out from behind the stack as you do, running up to Oya, leaping, and landing on her head.
  23. Jul 05 20:50:24 <Chase_Violet> "If you really need more time, I guess I can come back later, but- hah, there it is." he grins.
  24. Jul 05 20:50:25 <zooftopper> Oya seems indifferent to it, still rubbing the sleep from her eyes.
  25. Jul 05 20:52:05 <zooftopper> <HAS it been days..? I suppose it has been. I've done as much analysis on the Carbuncle as I can. They are very eccentric beings, metaphysically.>
  26. Jul 05 20:52:59 <Chase_Violet> "Yeah? They seem like fancy Eorzan eevees, if you ask me. Not really a bad thing, though Grant has really been ramping up on mixing Coke and Pepsi here."
  27. Jul 05 20:53:45 <Chase_Violet> "What'd you learn?"
  28. Jul 05 20:54:44 <zooftopper> <Not unlike a Pokemon, they have a very strong affinity to a Type. They are more or less physical embodiments of raw elemental energy, so its no surprise they take on a form similar to that of an Eevee. They are born from these energies, but I can't be sure if they cannot reproduce normally yet...After all, even if they are physically closer to a Ghost Pokemon, Ghost Pokemon can, in fact, copulate.>
  29. Jul 05 20:55:57 <Chase_Violet> He bets One N'Only isn't any stranger to that fact.
  30. Jul 05 20:57:00 <Chase_Violet> "Grant seemed to create them in tanks of some kind. Dunno much more than that."
  31. Jul 05 20:57:57 <zooftopper> The bunky on her head curls up and shuts its eyes. <Well, one very well could make a factory for them with the right practices and enough access to raw elemental energies, which this Eorzea sounds ripe with. If this Celia is indeed a Carbuncle, she must be composed of some pretty powerful energies - probably raw Fairy energy. Even these ones have a trickling of Fairy in them, which I believe is the key to Celia's
  32. Jul 05 20:57:57 <zooftopper> form.>
  33. Jul 05 21:00:08 <Chase_Violet> He muses a moment on what that means. "Just as long as you don't end up like the last chick I saw channeling Fairy energy, I guess? But what you're saying is you'd need to become a Fairy?"
  34. Jul 05 21:00:37 »» Chase_Violet grimaces a bit as he remembers Pi. Whatever happened to her, anyway? He'll have to find out one of these days.
  35. Jul 05 21:01:53 <Chase_Violet> "Come to think of it, I think Grant's people did some funky dream world related rituals to summon Celia in the first place..."
  36. Jul 05 21:06:09 <zooftopper> <Become a Fairy? Well, I'm not exactly far off from the depiction, am I? It might be dificult for me to do so, in my true form. But a splinter of myself...well, that would be easier to achieve.>
  37. Jul 05 21:08:39 <Chase_Violet> "I'm just wondering what you had in mind, myself."
  38. Jul 05 21:09:14 »» Chase_Violet has to admit he's a bit curious though.
  39. Jul 05 21:11:32 <zooftopper> <Grant's plans are extremely dangerous to both worlds, but he HAS channeled a much more favorable version of this Type than The Banisher. If I had a means of somehow exposing myself to that sort of power....hrm. EIther way it would require me to leave this place. Or at least a part of me. Which I suppose is where you come into the picture!>
  40. Jul 05 21:12:09 <zooftopper> <Admittedly I'm still skeptical why you came to me of all the Legendaries you could have asked, but it seems no matter what I'd require a Trainer's assistance for this.>
  41. Jul 05 21:16:49 <Chase_Violet> "Like who, exactly? Grant has Aegir and Freya at the very least, Alice has Skadi, Oshun is... uh, well, kind of indisposed to say the least. The rest of the Keepers are Dragons and seemed to be especially weakened by Fairy energy due to dragons being evil shit on Hydaelyn. The rest? Hell, I dunno, honestly you seemed like the most fun to pick and you -do- have an advantage over
  42. Jul 05 21:16:49 <Chase_Violet> them."
  43. Jul 05 21:16:58 <Chase_Violet> "But yeah, I'd be happy to help."
  44. Jul 05 21:18:25 <zooftopper> <...Oh Riiiight. The Fairy versus Dragon part....>
  45. Jul 05 21:18:28 <zooftopper> <Forgot about that.>
  46. Jul 05 21:18:34 »» Chase_Violet probably assumes Shango wouldn't be willing to give him an avatar and that Erzulie is kind of awkward since Gen has a Mew already.
  47. Jul 05 21:18:39 <zooftopper> She looks like she really did forget about it.
  48. Jul 05 21:18:58 <zooftopper> <Those guys are so popular, its weird to think that anything changed that.>
  49. Jul 05 21:20:46 <Chase_Violet> He shrugs. "I don't think I'd have gotten along with someone like Heimdall anyway, y'know?"
  50. Jul 05 21:22:14 <zooftopper> <I guess they are awefully stuffy or eccentric individuals. Like Orunmilla or Tyr...Guess I do have the advantage here, element wise. Hrm...>
  51. Jul 05 21:22:32 <zooftopper> <Normally this sort of task would call for a trial combat, but you've already bested me, so I'm not really sure what to do here.>
  52. Jul 05 21:22:45 <zooftopper> <It's been a looooooooong time since a Trainer wished to ally with me.>
  53. Jul 05 21:23:18 <Chase_Violet> "I wasn't sure what to expect from you, myself. Whether you wanted another trial, or..."
  54. Jul 05 21:24:05 <Chase_Violet> "Hell, if you just wanted something silly like the Everhungry and his goddamn chocolates."
  55. Jul 05 21:25:19 <zooftopper> <I think my current desire and interest is in its own way, superficial and silly enough. And it would be even sillier to make an arbitrary challlenge given what you've already done, and the urgency this situation calls for.>
  56. Jul 05 21:26:41 <Chase_Violet> "Hey, fair enough." he pulls out his Master Ball and flips it up, before catching it. "I may have an idea where to start with exposing your splinter to Fairy energy, anyway."
  57. Jul 05 21:26:58 <Chase_Violet> "Long as we're careful, anyway."
  58. Jul 05 21:28:34 <zooftopper> <The sooner I can deck that so called 'Dream Demon' while not looking like an oversized creampuff, the better.>
  59. Jul 05 21:28:52 <zooftopper> She scoots the Carbuncle off her head, seeing you're tossling a Masterball around.
  60. Jul 05 21:29:44 <Chase_Violet> He nods. "Alright then, here we go." he gets up, approaches Oya, and lightly taps her. Rather than you know, deck her in the face with it.
  61. Jul 05 21:32:08 <zooftopper> She's sucked up, and the ball clicks effortlessly. A few moments later, she floats back in from the front door, with a bag of doritos. The cool ranch kind.
  62. Jul 05 21:32:25 <zooftopper> She sits down where she was and opens the back.
  63. Jul 05 21:32:27 <zooftopper> bag*
  64. Jul 05 21:32:28 <Chase_Violet> "...Nice trick."
  65. Jul 05 21:32:33 <Chase_Violet> He laughs a bit.
  66. Jul 05 21:33:18 <zooftopper> <And with this done, I suppose you can return the Carbuncle to its owner.>
  67. Jul 05 21:33:44 <Chase_Violet> "It uh, doesn't have one. I considered asking Dahlia to borrow hers, but this one wasn't claimed."
  68. Jul 05 21:33:46 <zooftopper> <Another benefit you will notice about my Avatar is that it will not have the same sleep patterns as I do.>
  69. Jul 05 21:34:49 <Chase_Violet> "Great, we don't need a third Rosetta on board." he jokes.
  70. Jul 05 21:35:13 <zooftopper> <Oh. Hm...> She looks over to the red fluffything, which is currently playing amongst the throwpillows. <Well I'll admit, I enjoyed having it around. And I could arrange to have someone regularly bring me food to give it. Assuming it eats. I'm not sure it does.>
  71. Jul 05 21:35:42 <Chase_Violet> "Could be hunting on its own... or it does seem fire typish, maybe the desert itself is sutaining it."
  72. Jul 05 21:38:51 <Chase_Violet> *sustaining
  73. Jul 05 21:39:00 <zooftopper> <I'll stay awake long enough to actually observe what it does, then.> Munch munch, she shoves some chips into her mouth.
  74. Jul 05 21:39:28 <Chase_Violet> He grins. "I'm sure that's the only reason."
  75. Jul 05 21:39:43 <Chase_Violet> "Anyway, thanks Oya. I'll try to figure this out."
  76. Jul 05 21:39:54 »» Chase_Violet gets up and neatly puts the pillow back.
  77. Jul 05 21:41:49 <Chase_Violet> He did have to layer that with enough sarcasm to make it apparent it wasn't a lie probably - this feature is awkward
  78. Jul 05 21:41:52 <zooftopper> <I would say something cheesy about how we're partners in this now or something, but I'm too tired.>
  79. Jul 05 21:42:53 <zooftopper> Being sarcastic doesn't trip it up, so it's not -that- awkward long as your intent was there.
  80. Jul 05 21:44:18 <Chase_Violet> "I hear ya. I'm ready to take a nap when I get back, myself. Damn desert is hard to deal with when you been a city boy all your life. Later." He tries to scratch the bunky on the head before he goes if it'll let him. "Enjoy not being a weapon or whatever Grant was planning to use you for." he says to it, before heading out!
  81. Jul 05 21:44:55 <zooftopper> It's skittish, but if you show your hand to it, it sniffs you and then nuzzles the back of it.
  82. Jul 05 21:46:59 <Chase_Violet> And with a grin, off he goes!
  83. Jul 05 21:47:06 »» Chase_Violet is now known as Kain
