  2. [2011-02-17 18::48:13] Doink: [DATE: FEBRUARY 18th, 2016]
  3. [2011-02-17 18::48:20] Doink: [LOCATION: WARD HALL, ARKHAM, MASS.]
  4. [2011-02-17 18::48:59] Henri_DEllaine: still visibly tired and shaken raps on the door to Dmitriy's room. He needs questions answered. "Dmitriy, may I come in?"
  5. [2011-02-17 18::49:26] Dmitriy_Platonov: The answer is almost immediate. "You should."
  6. [2011-02-17 18::50:39] Henri_DEllaine: quickly opens the door and walks in, closing it behind him. He sits, scooting close to Dmitriy's desk. "So, where should we begin?"
  7. [2011-02-17 18::51:46] Dmitriy_Platonov: Nothing in the room have changed yet from the time of last briefing. Dmitriy is sitting at his table, with his arms resting on it and his hands holding his temples. He then turns to Henri. "I don't even know. But you deserve to know at least something."
  8. [2011-02-17 18::52:48] Henri_DEllaine: "In that case, I think I'll start. I remember everything from that night with Cassilda now. Clearly. Whatever took her is the same thing that took Jeanne. I want to know what it is."
  9. [2011-02-17 18::58:26] Dmitriy_Platonov: sighs. "It was an Avatar. The being of same nature with those which we fought before, but intelligent and incredibly malicious."
  10. [2011-02-17 18::59:06] Henri_DEllaine: "What can you tell me about it." He leans forward. "I intend to kill it for sure, next time."
  11. [2011-02-17 19::01:54] Dmitriy_Platonov: rubs his temples. "It has many names, because it's true name is forebidden to speak, write or otherwise use. It is associated with yellow colour, madness, insanity, doom and a place called Carcosa. Which we saw during that fight. It can posess people via... a memetic agent in form of a book containing a stage play called "The King in Yellow." - he sighs.
  12. [2011-02-17 19::02:13] Dmitriy_Platonov: "Jeanne had this book with her before the test."
  13. [2011-02-17 19::06:39] Henri_DEllaine: rubs his face. "We had been writing back in forth after she left... she mentioned something about being caught up in things. Something to do with her Father, I think. It might be worth looking into... That thing said I'd be having more hallucinations, too, for warning's sake. Why do you think it's so interested in me? It's had ample opportunity to kill me."
  14. [2011-02-17 19::10:58] Dmitriy_Platonov: "I don't know. This thing is mad and spreads madness. Maybe it wants to play with us like a cat plays with a a mouse... Wait a second, hallucinations? You said you remember everything now. What happened, what do you see?"
  15. [2011-02-17 19::17:38] Henri_DEllaine: "Nothing's happened since New Years but... that night? I approached the conversation cautiously because of what happened to Mia, but it became apparent that she knew he I was and wasn't going to hide the fact of what she represented, even if she didn't directly state it. She tried to get me to open up to her, but I didn't let her. Couldn't trust anything she could give me. And just... it overpowered me. I passed out. Then at the party it
  16. [2011-02-17 19::17:38] Henri_DEllaine: looked like everyone was in rags and masks. There were two moons in the sky, both yellow."
  17. [2011-02-17 19::21:06] Dmitriy_Platonov: "You didn't let her even then? And didn't trust her?" - Dmitriy looks at Henri for a moment. - "You are a strong and a wise man. I was right when I decided to rely on you. So... I guess you are ready for a little story then. Just a tactical briefing."
  18. [2011-02-17 19::21:53] Henri_DEllaine: nods.
  19. [2011-02-17 19::27:03] Dmitriy_Platonov: "So. The situation we are in is, actually, quite simple. NERV is hiding a special object - you would instantly recognize it if you'll ever see it. This object is incredibly desired by Avatars. If they will ever reach it, the whole current universe would just cease to exist. But the same thing can be done by people too. Me, the Commander and Doctor Al-Misiri abhore such a possibility. But there are people who desire it. The Her
  20. [2011-02-17 19::27:46] Dmitriy_Platonov: The Hermetic Order of Silver Twilight. You can call them the shadow government of the world, too. They are behind UN and behind NERV. But NERV's commander has abandoned their horrible scenario. This is the reason behind things."
  21. [2011-02-17 19::29:27] Henri_DEllaine: "So... then what exactly is the plan? Just defend this thing until they stop coming for it?"
  22. [2011-02-17 19::31:00] Dmitriy_Platonov: "Yes. The Avatars don't have much time. The stars are moving, and soon they won't be right anymore. Then it will end, and the world will be safer again. For a long, long time."
  23. [2011-02-17 19::33:58] Henri_DEllaine: "Well, I think I can certainly handle that, then." His expression is firm, if a little confused. "So... on to other things I guess. John told Kaz and I about... well him. Everything's far as far as that goes but... naturally, I assume there's something along the same lines with Mia. And some of the things that that Monster were saying..."
  24. [2011-02-17 19::39:20] Dmitriy_Platonov: A little pause. "Yes, Mia has the same origin. But... not exactly the same. Her genes were altered a little... merged with..." - he sighs. - "Merged with alien genes. I am not a biologist. So i will tell you what I know: the more humane we act towards Mia, the more human she will become, and otherwise." - Dmitriy pauses again. - "Do you have a problem with that" - he asks calmly.
  25. [2011-02-17 19::40:41] Henri_DEllaine: looks to the side for a while, obviously conflicted. "I don't think Mia has a single hateful bone in her body. She's with us. I'm not going to forget what I promised you."
  26. [2011-02-17 19::42:51] Dmitriy_Platonov: smiles a little. "I think the same way. You know, the Commander almost smiled in her presence. I swear, I saw it with my own eyes."
  27. [2011-02-17 19::44:09] Henri_DEllaine: A laugh somehow slips out. "Only Mia could do that... Is there anything else we need to talk about? Anything you want to know?"
  28. [2011-02-17 19::47:35] Dmitriy_Platonov: "Do you have anything to tell me? I don't think I can tell you much more... You already know what to hate and avoid by some inner sense. But I know one thing you can probably try to investigate. Someone gave Jeanne that cursed book. Maybe it was someone inside the Academy..."
  29. [2011-02-17 19::50:43] Henri_DEllaine: "It could be practically anyone... but I'll look into it. Even if it was someone outside of the school, someone might know who's responsible for what happened... I hope the person will be dealt with if found, yes?"
  30. [2011-02-17 19::53:33] Dmitriy_Platonov: "You can be sure. Oh, and... I probably should give it to you..." - Dmitriy stands up to open one of the drawers of his table and gives a plastic file to Henri. Inside there are some sketchbooks. "Those were among Jeanne's posessions."
  31. [2011-02-17 19::55:00] Henri_DEllaine: takes them immediately, tucking them firmly under his arm. "Thank you..." He stands there in awkward silence for a few seconds. "I guess I should go... Again, thank you for telling me what you did."
  32. [2011-02-17 19::57:41] Dmitriy_Platonov: "There's no need to thank me. I don't do anything significant. The one who does is you. I hope you can keep it up."
  33. [2011-02-17 19::58:34] Henri_DEllaine: "As long as you can guide me in the right direction, I will." Henri exits.
  34. [2011-02-17 20::00:31] Dmitriy_Platonov: stares at the closed door for a while. Then gets a bottle of brandy from the same drawer.
  35. [2011-02-17 20::04:19] Doink: [SCENE CHANGE]
  36. [2011-02-17 20::04:38] Henri_DEllaine: is in his room, flipping through one of Jeanne's sketchbooks, reminiscing.
  37. [2011-02-17 20::07:17] John_Kilanger: is looking through one of his old books, although he really isn't in the mood to read anything.
  38. [2011-02-17 20::09:21] » Kazimir_Prochazka left the chat room.
  39. [2011-02-17 20::25:31] John_Kilanger: eventually tosses his book on to his bed, feeling frustrated.
  40. [2011-02-17 20::27:11] John_Kilanger: eventually leaves his room and goes up to Henri's room nad knocks on the door. "Can I come in for a minute?"
  41. [2011-02-17 20::28:34] Henri_DEllaine: "Yeah, of course." Closes the sketchbook and turns to open the door.
  42. [2011-02-17 20::31:03] Henri_DEllaine: sits on his bed, offering John his chair.
  43. [2011-02-17 20::31:36] John_Kilanger: nods to Henri while he enters the room, he takes the chair and sits down in it. "I want to... apologize for my performance during the last fight."
  44. [2011-02-17 20::33:20] Henri_DEllaine: "John... really, there's no need. I mean... let's be honest. The only reason I wasn't in the same position was because that wasn't exactly my first hallucination."
  45. [2011-02-17 20::38:01] John_Kilanger: "I'm not just talking about how I froze up during the fight, at the beginning, my carelessness allowed the enemy to grab my weapon from me, putting you all at greater risk. Maybe if I had been able to grab hold of the Eva like I was trying to, we could have done something to help Jeanne."
  46. [2011-02-17 20::38:55] John_Kilanger: clenches his fists "And I just can't forgive myself for leaving you all to fend for yourself after the true enemy revealed itself. I should have been right there fighting with you, but I was to scared."
  47. [2011-02-17 20::40:36] Henri_DEllaine: looks away, his words full of spite at first. "John... there was no saving Jeanne. We lost her before she even got into the entry plug... We didn't know that then, but that's all we have right now. Retrospective. None of us were prepared for what happened, and all we can do is learn from it."
  48. [2011-02-17 20::45:25] John_Kilanger: sighs and looks at the floor. "I suppose that's true..."
  49. [2011-02-17 20::46:00] Henri_DEllaine: "You really give yourself too hard a time... you've taken a lot of hits for all of us."
  50. [2011-02-17 20::48:14] John_Kilanger: "I just... I just feel that this battle was the first one that truly mattered, and I just let you all down."
  51. [2011-02-17 20::50:33] Henri_DEllaine: "None of us managed to really do anything... I should have taken the heat that Kaz and Ruru did. And for that matter, Ruru lost her gun, and Kaz lost his head. If it weren't for Mia..."
  52. [2011-02-17 20::52:05] John_Kilanger: "Henri, you stood almost toe-to-toe with that thing, and I was the one that should have taken the hit for Kaz."
  53. [2011-02-17 20::52:30] Henri_DEllaine: "I only did because it outright ignored me. It was playing with me."
  54. [2011-02-17 20::56:53] John_Kilanger: "It seemed like it was toying with all of us, except for Mia."
  55. [2011-02-17 20::58:36] Henri_DEllaine: hesitates to say what he knows. Things become awkward for a second.
  56. [2011-02-17 21::03:54] John_Kilanger: "Well, I just felt like I needed to get this off my chest, I'm going to head back to my room,"
  57. [2011-02-17 21::05:23] Henri_DEllaine: "John, wait." Henri stands up. "I talked to Dmitriy earlier... there are some things you should know. At the very least for your own safety."
  58. [2011-02-17 21::05:58] John_Kilanger: "Like what?"
  59. [2011-02-17 21::10:46] Henri_DEllaine: "He told me why we're here, why those things are attacking. Apparently we have something they want that could end the world if they get it. And apparently, who's in control of Nerv has similiar plans. I wouldn't trust anyone outside of us and Dmitriy, even if the Director is bent on keeping anyone from accomplishing that."
  60. [2011-02-17 21::15:24] John_Kilanger: "Any idea what it is we're guarding?"
  61. [2011-02-17 21::16:35] Henri_DEllaine: "Dmitriy didn't say... just that we'd immediately recognize it if we saw it... Oh. And don't take any books anyone offers you if you don't already know about them... Its... it's how they got Jeanne."
  62. [2011-02-17 21::18:07] John_Kilanger: "...Er, that might be a bit difficult, seeing as I'm in a book club. but thanks for the warning."
  63. [2011-02-17 21::18:43] Henri_DEllaine: "Yeah just... avoid anything yellow if you can. It's hard to explain really."
  64. [2011-02-17 21::19:36] John_Kilanger: "Will do."
  65. [2011-02-17 21::21:33] » Mia_al-Misiri left the chat room.
  66. [2011-02-17 21::22:13] » Tabbris left the chat room.
  67. [2011-02-17 21::24:54] » Blast joined the chat room.
  68. [2011-02-17 21::36:46] Doink: [SESSION END]
