  1. [ 08:07:22 ] [ @dudeman ] Alright, so! The next day eventually comes. This morning, much like the last, you find a note slid under the door to the suite.
  2. [ 08:07:56 ] ! Chase acquires letter, and opens it.
  3. [ 08:09:20 ] [ @dudeman ] Seems it's just a note saying to stop by the General's office at some point this morning.
  4. [ 08:10:03 ] [ Rosetta ] "Easy 'nough." Rosetta has picked up her letter as well and read over it.
  5. [ 08:10:09 ] [ Chase ] "Yo, Saryx, time to wake up, man. We should probably get ready, general's waiting on us."
  6. [ 08:11:25 ] [ Genevieve ] "Let's get the boys and go."
  7. [ 08:12:33 ] [ Saryx ] "Nnnnn... Just five more minutes, Dad..." Saryx grumbles from where he fell asleep, at a desk now covered in crumpled up wads of paper and wood shavings. He eventually gets mobile and sentient.
  8. [ 08:14:45 ] ! Rosetta is in fact already on the way out the suite, taking a glance over to see if the boys have exited their room already or not.
  9. [ 08:14:54 ] [ Chase ] "What were you doing, anyway? Writing home?" Vwoop dressed.
  10. [ 08:15:16 ] [ Chase ] Chase is about halfway out the door, but seems to be waiting for Saryx,.
  11. [ 08:15:53 ] ! Rosetta taps her foot as she waits near the stairs. With one hand she's reaching up and swirling her tattoo around.
  12. [ 08:16:00 ] [ Rosetta ] 1d4+3 rewrite
  13. [ 08:16:00 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Rosetta, rewrite: 6 [1d4=3]
  14. [ 08:18:46 ] [ Saryx ] Saryx scrambles out the door shortly after he gets dressed, kind of hopping out on one foot as he tries to put his shoes on. "It's nothing too important. Just working on a design!" Boing, boing! Out with him~
  15. [ 08:20:41 ] [ @dudeman ] You find the General in his office, looking fully recovered by now and sipping on a bottle of orange juice. There's a good sized box on his desk as well.
  16. [ 08:21:12 ] [ @dudeman ] He is going over some paperwork as you enter. "Ah! Mornin' all. Congratulations officially, by the way."
  17. [ 08:21:23 ] [ Rosetta ] "Hi! Good morning General." Rosetta walks in, hands stuffed in her pockets.
  18. [ 08:21:44 ] [ Genevieve ] "Good morning, and thank you."
  19. [ 08:21:51 ] [ Chase ] "Mornin, Kent. And thanks! That was some gauntlet."
  20. [ 08:22:13 ] [ Chase ] The guitarist plops himself into a seat, fairly chipper.
  21. [ 08:23:04 ] [ @dudeman ] "I went a bit easy on you guys, but most don't do that well!" He rubs his shoulder a bit. "A win is a win, though. Wouldn't count on the others to be that easy going though if you do challenge them."
  22. [ 08:23:34 ] [ @dudeman ] "Either way, as promised," he slides the box over. "I have a few other freebies for ya."

  24. [ 08:24:10 ] ! Genevieve slides the box closer and opesn it up.
  25. [ 08:24:15 ] [ Rosetta ] "Shiny." Rosetta leans in and peers at the box, flipping up the lid with a hand.
  26. [ 08:24:31 ] ! Chase peers in once Gen and Rosetta do their synchronized looting.
  27. [ 08:24:46 ] [ @dudeman ] Inside are a collection of TM's, blue shaded eggs, and assorted fashion accessories.
  28. [ 08:24:59 ] [ Saryx ] "We didn't hurt you too bad, did we, General, Sir? ... The cannons were kind of... Painful, to say the least." he inquires in response to the General's rubbing his arm.

  31. [ 08:26:16 ]  · · Nick : Giantree : [ Lorelei ]
  32. [ 08:26:20 ] [ @dudeman ] "Pht, ain't no thang." He says to Saryx. "Basically, you get to chose one item each. A Will-o-Wisp TM for those that favor fire power, an egg for those who favor a little more chill Pokemon, a contest accessory...or..."
  33. [ 08:26:35 ] [ Chase ] "Aw, I'm sure he's had worse, man. It was fun commandeering those cannons, though."
  34. [ 08:26:49 ] [ Chase ] "Aw shii, lookit all that..."
  35. [ 08:26:53 ] ! Chase looks thoughtful.
  36. [ 08:26:57 ] [ Genevieve ] "What sort of chill Pokemon, exactly?"
  37. [ 08:27:15 ] [ Rosetta ] "I bet it's a surprise."
  38. [ 08:27:22 ] [ @dudeman ] "I got some boys in R&D cookin' up a custom TM, signiture for our gym. Don't have those quite yet though."
  39. [ 08:27:40 ] [ @dudeman ] "Bingo!" He points to Rosetta. "It's a mystery!"
  40. [ 08:28:27 ] ! Chase looks between the Will o Wisp TMs, the eggs, and the accessories. "Hmm..."
  41. [ 08:29:26 ] [ @dudeman ] "You can take a rain check on that signiture TM, but won't be able to get it exactly yet."
  42. [ 08:29:39 ] ! Genevieve takes one of the eggs and sits it in her lap.
  43. [ 08:29:46 ] [ Genevieve ] "I was always a fan of the mystery box option."
  44. [ 08:29:50 ] [ Rosetta ] "Rain check it is then."
  45. [ 08:30:00 ] [ Chase ] "You got me curious about it at least... I don't mind waitin' a while. Queue me up for the signature TM.":
  46. [ 08:31:16 ] [ @dudeman ] "Alright, two for the TM, one surprise - oh, and mind you, those eggs are from a private breeder as well, much like your starting buddies were."
  47. [ 08:31:40 ] [ Saryx ] "If you're sure you're okay, Sir." He reaches over Gen's chair and pulls an egg out from the box himself, coddling it in his arms. "Thanks a lot, though, General, Sir! Really appreciate you going out of your way to do all this for us!"
  48. [ 08:32:12 ] [ Rosetta ] "You said you had a mission for us?" Rosetta bounces lightly on her feet.
  49. [ 08:32:46 ] [ @dudeman ] "And two eggs it is! You won't be disapointed with any of this, hehe!" He sits back down, puts the box back aside.
  50. [ 08:33:33 ] [ @dudeman ] "I was gonna get to that in a second. As you have bested me at my challenge, you are now a recognized Exploration Guild. Though as I understand from Mr. Jones you have yet to decide on a charter name."
  51. [ 08:33:34 ] [ Chase ] "He really does know how to go all out." he says to Saryx, grinning. "Man, I could share some stories, but maybe later."
  52. [ 08:33:46 ] [ Chase ] "Mm... yeah, that's right."
  53. [ 08:34:16 ] [ Rosetta ] "All in good time, yeah? We sorta scrambled this together pretty quickly after all."
  54. [ 08:35:31 ] [ Chase ] "Personally, I like the image of a group of badasses who barrel their way in and take names, like we did in the gym. Something like Big Damn Heroes, or... something Braves maybe."
  55. [ 08:35:31 ] [ @dudeman ] "Outside of that, my badge serves as proof enough to any officials of your status. There'll also be digital records of it before too long. In the future, if any tasks come my way from you or you need assistance, you'll hear about it from or report to Mr. Jones. Today is a bit different though since you're already here."
  56. [ 08:36:11 ] [ Rosetta ] "Yeah, we sorta figured that out. Saryx and I headed to the Queenwood to find some Pokemon." Rosetta nodnods.
  57. [ 08:36:37 ] [ @dudeman ] "There isn't a huge rush on the name though, but it is something you should keep in mind."
  58. [ 08:36:44 ] ! Chase nods.
  59. [ 08:36:46 ] [ @dudeman ] "...Speaking of which, you guys all got smartphones right?"
  60. [ 08:36:53 ] [ Chase ] "We'll keep putting our heads together on it."
  61. [ 08:37:02 ] [ Chase ] "I do."
  62. [ 08:37:03 ] [ Rosetta ] "Who doesn't?"
  63. [ 08:37:48 ] [ Genevieve ] "Of course." Gen takes out her Pokegear, which is surrounded by a rhinestone-covered case
  64. [ 08:37:59 ] [ @dudeman ] "Do they even still make flipphones? Who knows, basically..." He gets four print outs and hands them to you. "Pokedexes are a thing of the past. Though we do have a suit of applications for explorers that you may find useful. These are the registration codes for them."
  65. [ 08:39:05 ] [ Rosetta ] Do these have QR code links and stuff too? :O
  66. [ 08:39:08 ] [ Chase ] "Kickass. This just gets better and better."
  67. [ 08:39:09 ] [ Saryx ] "Yeah, we sure found some Pokemon out there..." Saryx recalls the Gligar getting nommed on by the ginormous frog. Poor thing. "... And... I don't, Razor..." He moves the egg over to one hand, then reaches into a back pocket, pulling out... A Luvdisc. Which he then flips open just to answer the General's question.
  68. [ 08:39:25 ] [ @dudeman ] Seems there's a specialized GPS app for the wilds with capabilities to add landmarks...a radio app for alerting others...and along with that one that can give you information on any other explorers or military units near your location.
  69. [ 08:40:28 ] ! Genevieve starts punching in codes to download the apps. "You know they have pay as you go smartphones now, right? You don't have to live in 2001 anymore."
  70. [ 08:40:35 ] [ Rosetta ] "Huh, really? I thought it was just an oddly designed one." Rosetta shrugs and looks to examine these apps.
  71. [ 08:40:47 ] ! Chase squints at Saryx's phone. "So what fossil did you have to reanimate to get THAT?"
  72. [ 08:41:18 ] [ @dudeman ] The General squints as well. "Kid, even -I- had a better phone when I was your age."
  73. [ 08:41:21 ] [ Rosetta ] In particular, she opens up the last one out of curiosity to see if the Bastards are still hanging out and doing their thing here at the base.
  74. [ 08:41:26 ] [ @dudeman ] "Like what grave did you rob to get that thing."
  75. [ 08:42:06 ] [ Saryx ] "I wasn't kidding when I said I was short on cash!" His face goes all red, shaking the phoned hand as if with the intent to hit someone with it.
  76. [ 08:42:46 ] [ Rosetta ] "You can get a better phone for free with a data plan now though. And those are cheap now too. If I could afford one living on my own..."
  77. [ 08:42:49 ] [ @dudeman ] You see two aggregate view options, Rosetta. One by Guild and one by Name.
  78. [ 08:42:51 ] [ Genevieve ] "Don't scare the babies." She points down at the egg in her lap, then gives the shell a little kiss.
  79. [ 08:43:01 ] ! Chase slide unlocks his phone and starts installing apps~
  80. [ 08:43:05 ] ! Rosetta taps the first. Might as well see who else is around to meet.
  81. [ 08:43:31 ] [ @dudeman ] Red Janguars, Blue Barracudas, Green Monkies...
  82. [ 08:43:49 ] [ @dudeman ] Don't see any Bastards or anything else that stands out.
  83. [ 08:44:24 ] ! Rosetta quirks an eyebrow at her phone. "Man offense, but I'm quitting if we pick a name this bad, just sayin' guys." She flashes her phone to everyone else.
  84. [ 08:44:29 ] [ Rosetta ] *no offense
  85. [ 08:45:59 ] [ @dudeman ] "Well, I imagine you could get a better phone...anywhere really. Probably off a bandit or pygmie you deal with later on even. Anyway..."
  86. [ 08:46:01 ] [ Saryx ] "... Oh, sorry, Gen..." He puts away his crime against technology and patpats his own egg gently before squinting at Rose's smartphone screen. "... Wow, that is bad. ... Okay, the Barracudas aren't, but Green Monkies? REALLY?!?"
  87. [ 08:46:30 ] [ Genevieve ] "Anyway, what's the job?"
  88. [ 08:46:35 ] ! Chase leans away from the hyperreactive kid.
  89. [ 08:46:43 ] [ Rosetta ] "Not so loud, man. But anyway, let's move on."
  90. [ 08:47:12 ] [ @dudeman ] He pulls aside a binder and flips through it some. "Pretty simple really. Least it looks simple, but I'm short on hands and could use some young go-getters like yourselves to look into it."
  91. [ 08:47:30 ] [ Chase ] "Arright, lessee what we got here."
  92. [ 08:47:39 ] [ @dudeman ] "One of my scouts informed us that there's a section in The Queenswood that has simply...well, withered away. Died."
  93. [ 08:47:53 ] [ @dudeman ] He slides the binder over to show a map of the isle, and an outlined area in red southwest of the city.
  94. [ 08:48:48 ] [ Chase ] "I took a little hike and saw some geodudes knocking down plants near the cliffs, but I'm guessing this is a lot more serious than that."
  95. [ 08:48:59 ] ! Chase frowns.
  96. [ 08:49:21 ] [ Genevieve ] "Like a blight?"
  97. [ 08:49:24 ] [ @dudeman ] "Those jerks are up to that again? They keep refusing to pay their HOA dues and throw tantrums about it."
  98. [ 08:50:05 ] [ Rosetta ] "We saw a giant fuckin' frog eat a Gligar whole. But uh, I also don't think that's relevant here."
  99. [ 08:50:22 ] [ @dudeman ] "Possibly, Miss Webb? I haven't seen any imagry of it. But he said there was no evidence of fire and avoided getting too close."
  100. [ 08:50:37 ] [ Chase ] "So the woods just died out."
  101. [ 08:51:09 ] [ @dudeman ] "Some frog that was - and yes. Seems as such."
  102. [ 08:52:08 ] [ Chase ] "Wonder what's going on... won't be no trouble to look into this."
  103. [ 08:52:09 ] [ @dudeman ] "He mentioned finding it due to some odd markings on the trees - like someone was leaving a path."
  104. [ 08:52:37 ] [ Rosetta ] "That shouldn't be hard to follow at all then."
  105. [ 08:52:38 ] [ Genevieve ] "Hmm, well, I'm not exactly qualified as a biologist, but we can check it out."
  106. [ 08:53:18 ] [ @dudeman ] "You guys will be well compensated for it, and I would appreciate if you could. Any tips would help us get some experts out to check into it."
  107. [ 08:54:01 ] [ @dudeman ] "Outside of that...well, you guys are free to explore the region as you wish. As Guild membes you can get transportation to any of the isles, though you might have to find your own housing in some cities."
  108. [ 08:54:53 ] [ Rosetta ] "Oh, you mean in others we'll just have a place to crash free of charge? Shiny."
  109. [ 08:55:13 ] [ @dudeman ] "There are some facilities for that, yeah."
  110. [ 08:55:24 ] [ @dudeman ] "I know there's one in Veilbeak. Wasn't there in my own days..."
  111. [ 08:55:59 ] [ Chase ] "That ain't too much of a problem, really. It's housing in the wilds I'm more concerned about. I made sure to buy some one of those collapsible camping sets."
  112. [ 08:56:03 ] [ Genevieve ] "There's always somewhere to stay free of charge if you know what you're doing~"
  113. [ 08:56:19 ] [ Chase ] *buy one
  114. [ 08:58:23 ] [ @dudeman ] "I imagine you guys should be pretty well off for this. It's a bit of a hike out there, buuut..."
  115. [ 08:58:27 ] [ Rosetta ] "Oh right." Rosetta snaps her fingers. "I guess sleeping out in a field is a bit more dangerous here at home than abroad. Good thinking Chase."
  116. [ 08:58:46 ] [ @dudeman ] "Well that's the last part of the report. the scout said he didn't enconter anything at all out there. Like they were avoiding it."
  117. [ 09:00:16 ] ! Chase nods at Rosetta, then frowns. "Wonder what it is, though..."
  118. [ 09:00:22 ] [ Chase ] "Guess we should get on that, then."
  119. [ 09:00:27 ] [ Genevieve ] "Doesn't seem unreasonable...we won't learn anything here, though. If there's nothing else, we should get ready to go."
  120. [ 09:00:48 ] [ Rosetta ] "Yeah, let's get to it."
  121. [ 09:01:34 ] [ @dudeman ] "Good luck ya'll. And if you do run into any issues, don't forget to try to contact someone."
  122. [ 09:02:01 ] [ Chase ] "Gotcha." he grins and grabs his guitar strap, standing up.
  123. [ 09:02:48 ] [ Chase ] "We'll get to the bottom of this... our first official job as an explorer team, huh? Everyone ready to go or should we do a last minute supply run?"
  124. [ 09:03:21 ] ! Rosetta fishes in her pockets and produces three pokeballs. "...Wish I had more, but nahhh, I'm good."
  125. [ 09:03:56 ] [ Chase ] "I've used up all mine already - well, except an artillery ball but I'm saving that one."
  126. [ 09:04:12 ] [ Chase ] "Don't think it'll be a problem, though."
  127. [ 09:05:14 ] [ Genevieve ] "I've got a few spares." Gen puts her blue egg in her bag, then slips the whole thing over her shoulder. "If Pokemon are avoiding it, shouldn't be a big deal."
  128. [ 09:05:58 ] [ Rosetta ] "Yeah, but something's gotta be at the center of it, and who says it's not a Pokemon?"
  129. [ 09:06:40 ] [ Genevieve ] "Context clues."
  130. [ 09:06:49 ] [ @dudeman ] Right then! You guys get ready with any last minute prep and start your way off the base, and through the city toward the south gate at around noon.
  131. [ 09:07:17 ] [ Rosetta ] "I think it's too early to say we have much in the way of clues at all." Rosetta shrugs.
  132. [ 09:07:33 ] [ @dudeman ] The city is pretty impressive in its own right. All the regality a capital should have, and in the distance you can see the royal palace on top of a hill, with a brilliant red light from atop it.
  133. [ 09:08:59 ] [ @dudeman ] As you pass by a park, though...roll perception
  134. [ 09:09:16 ] ! Chase has been here down that all his life, so not too bothered... but let's see here.
  135. [ 09:09:16 ] [ Rosetta ] 2d6 really have to raise this sometime ;_;
  136. [ 09:09:17 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Rosetta, really have to raise this sometime: 3 [2d6=1,2]
  137. [ 09:09:30 ] [ @dudeman ] Rosetta's bird sense is tingling at that light, it seems.
  138. [ 09:09:47 ] [ Saryx ] 2d6 Don't we all, cast?
  139. [ 09:09:55 ] [ Genevieve ] 2d6 Perception
  140. [ 09:09:58 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Saryx, Don't we all, cast?: 4 [2d6=2,2]
  141. [ 09:09:59 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Genevieve, Perception: 8 [2d6=4,4]
  142. [ 09:10:01 ] [ Chase ] 2d6-1
  143. [ 09:10:01 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Chase, 2d6-1: 6 [2d6=3,4]
  144. [ 09:10:15 ] ! Rosetta quirks her head. Birds?
  145. [ 09:11:12 ] [ @dudeman ] Genevieve notices a rather big, tall black guy sitting on a bench with a remote control, like for a toy plane or car, and...some sorta automation on the ground in front of him?
  146. [ 09:11:19 ] [ @dudeman ] Chase sees him as well, and notices him. It's Zeke.
  147. [ 09:11:38 ] [ Chase ] "...hey, waitaminute, y'all."
  148. [ 09:11:45 ] [ Genevieve ] "What is that?"
  149. [ 09:11:52 ] [ Genevieve ] "A robot?"
  150. [ 09:12:47 ] ! Chase is a bit surprised to see the dude out here and walks over. "Yo, Zeke! Whassup, man? Didn't think I'd be back here so quick..."
  151. [ 09:13:34 ] ! Rosetta shakes herself out of bird reverie. "Oh hey, friend of yours Chase?"
  152. [ 09:13:39 ] ! @dudeman looks up from the ground. "Oh, hey. Sup Chase? Those your venturin' buds behind you?"
  153. [ 09:13:49 ] [ @dudeman ] Rosetta, it's a wanga doll he's fiddling with.
  154. [ 09:14:20 ] [ Chase ] "Yeah, he's the bassist for our band... We go waaay back."
  155. [ 09:14:52 ] [ Chase ] "Everyone, this is Zeke. Zeke, meet our lil' explorer team." he's pretty proud to say that.
  156. [ 09:15:25 ] [ Rosetta ] "Nice to meet you Zeke. Name's Rosetta. Where'd you get the doll?"
  157. [ 09:15:30 ] [ Chase ] "This guy right here has got the skills to pay the bills - if it can be fixed or tinkered with, he probably can."
  158. [ 09:15:41 ] [ Genevieve ] "Hey, my name's Gen, nice robot or whatever."
  159. [ 09:15:46 ] [ @dudeman ] "Sup. N', yeah, I like to build stuff."
  160. [ 09:15:55 ] ! Rosetta peers at it. Does the design look familiar?
  161. [ 09:16:39 ] [ @dudeman ] "This thing? Found it outside my apartment yesterday. Just sorta sittin' on the stoop. Was pretty flexible so hooked up a wire frame to it and..." He toys with the controls, and it walks around fluidly.
  162. [ 09:16:39 ] [ Chase ] "Whatchoo got this time, Zeke?" he squints at the thing.
  163. [ 09:17:00 ] [ @dudeman ] It looks a lot like the ones from New Ivyhollow, yes.
  164. [ 09:17:08 ] [ Rosetta ] "Is that the only one you've found?" Rosetta asks quickly.
  165. [ 09:17:50 ] [ Saryx ] Saryx springs over after seeing Chase veer off in a different direction and being all friendly. "Hey there, Zeke! Name's Sar..." His attention follows the doll as it moves. "Oh, wow, that's pretty amazing!"
  166. [ 09:17:53 ] [ @dudeman ] "Yeah? I mean...it's sorta weird lookin'. Dunno, wouldn't of noticed it if it wasn't just sittin' there."
  167. [ 09:18:48 ] ! Rosetta leans in to examine it and the design. After a moment she steps back. "I'd be careful." She adds quietly.
  168. [ 09:19:45 ] [ Chase ] "He does this kinda thing all the time. He's had some project of his to mess with between songs when we'd jam away... ..." he seems a bit down at that, actually. He misses being a part of the band, but then he stares at the doll again.
  169. [ 09:19:53 ] [ @dudeman ] "About what? Check this out though - thing's so flexible it can do the harlem shake..."
  170. [ 09:19:56 ] [ Rosetta ] "Did you hear about the student who died at NIH couple weeks back? That...was my brother. He was looking into wanga dolls just like this one."
  171. [ 09:20:16 ] [ @dudeman ] He starts to make it hip thrust as you speak...and then Focus checks everyone.
  172. [ 09:20:24 ] [ Chase ] "...that thing's got an aura. a real dark one ...Zeke, be -real- careful, this is all some bad juju..."
  173. [ 09:20:24 ] [ Rosetta ] 3d6-2
  174. [ 09:20:25 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Rosetta, 3d6-2: 6 [3d6=2,1,5]
  175. [ 09:20:33 ] [ Genevieve ] 2d6
  176. [ 09:20:33 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Genevieve, 2d6: 8 [2d6=4,4]
  177. [ 09:20:43 ] [ Chase ] 3d6+2
  178. [ 09:20:43 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Chase, 3d6+2: 12 [3d6=3,6,1]
  179. [ 09:20:50 ] [ Saryx ] 4d6
  180. [ 09:20:50 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Saryx, 4d6: 14 [4d6=2,3,4,5]
  181. [ 09:21:09 ] [ @dudeman ] None of you go crazy as you witness what follows.
  182. [ 09:22:43 ] [ @dudeman ] The sky seems to fade dark around you for a few seconds as the doll's eyes glow yellow, and it begins to wriggle around like it's being hit with bullets.
  183. [ 09:23:33 ] [ Genevieve ] "Dark magic!"
  184. [ 09:23:46 ] [ @dudeman ] Vaporious, humanoid figures appear behind it. Soldiers in uniforms from countless wars, sides, generations. Each looks like a corpse puppet as it mimics the movements.
  185. [ 09:24:05 ] [ Rosetta ] "It's a possession hos- oh unholy shit."
  186. [ 09:24:12 ] [ @dudeman ] And then suddenly it stops as Zeke drops the controls. Back to normal. The doll flops over.
  187. [ 09:24:16 ] [ @dudeman ] "What. The. Fuck."
  188. [ 09:24:30 ] [ Chase ] "I told you, man!"
  189. [ 09:24:37 ] [ Genevieve ] "I have a lighter in my bag, we're burning it and burying the ashes."
  190. [ 09:24:48 ] [ Rosetta ] "Yeah, like I said, my brother got killed over this shit." Rosetta looks to Chase. "You saw its aura?"
  191. [ 09:24:52 ] [ @dudeman ] "No complaints."
  192. [ 09:24:56 ] [ @dudeman ] "Nope nope nope nope."
  193. [ 09:24:58 ] [ Rosetta ] "No!"
  194. [ 09:25:00 ] [ Rosetta ] "I'm taking it."
  195. [ 09:25:02 ] [ Chase ] "Bad fuckin' juju. Yes, yes I did, Rosetta."
  196. [ 09:25:04 ] ! Rosetta snatches it up.
  197. [ 09:25:08 ] [ @dudeman ] "Girl you cray!"
  198. [ 09:25:14 ] [ Chase ] "This is one of those weird dolls you looking for?"
  199. [ 09:25:18 ] ! Rosetta nods.
  200. [ 09:25:23 ] ! Genevieve retrieves a lighter and holds it out.
  201. [ 09:25:31 ] [ Genevieve ] "Rose you don't mess with dark magic. Come on."
  202. [ 09:25:34 ] [ Rosetta ] "You can identify the owner by aura, supposedly."
  203. [ 09:25:57 ] [ @dudeman ] "Sorry to hear that about your bro...but...uh..."
  204. [ 09:26:02 ] [ Rosetta ] "It's a lead Gen. Trust me."
  205. [ 09:26:02 ] [ Chase ] "Tch... guess it can't be helped. Uh, long story Zeke."
  206. [ 09:26:03 ] [ @dudeman ] "You said he was investigatin'...these?"
  207. [ 09:26:23 ] ! Saryx jumped back assuming a defensive position, thinking the thing's gonna, like, selfdestruct or some shit! ... Then he looks at Rose. "... Wait, we're gonna be... Carrying all of..." He looks at her in disbelief. "Those stay in your room at night, Razor!"
  208. [ 09:26:29 ] [ Rosetta ] "Among other things, yeah. You find any others of these around?"
  209. [ 09:27:15 ] [ Chase ] "This shit is unreal..."
  210. [ 09:27:17 ] [ @dudeman ] "You mean if I found one of them there's probably more."
  211. [ 09:27:18 ] ! Rosetta looks at this one. "I'll keep them until I'm sure they've been deactivated and aren't of any us for tracking the creator. There's a huge pile of them just sitting in the Guild Hall at NIH now, just like this."
  212. [ 09:27:22 ] ! Rosetta nods.
  213. [ 09:27:31 ] [ @dudeman ] He isn't really a dumb guy, it's pretty evident he's following you easily enough.
  214. [ 09:27:55 ] [ Rosetta ] *use
  215. [ 09:27:58 ] [ @dudeman ] "...I'll tell ya what."
  216. [ 09:28:42 ] [ @dudeman ] "You seem to know what the hell to do with these things, I sure as hell don't. What if I looked arond the city and gathered as many as I could find up for ya?"
  217. [ 09:29:37 ] [ Genevieve ] "This is really dangerous. Like, you could get killed for digging into it at all dangerous."
  218. [ 09:29:56 ] ! Rosetta frowns. "You wanna be a target too? Sure, log their locations and point them out to me, but I don't like the sound of you getting on these guys's radars too."
  219. [ 09:30:16 ] [ Rosetta ] "Like I was sayin, they're possession hosts. Whoever made them can take control of one and look and act through it."
  220. [ 09:30:46 ] [ @dudeman ] "You think I would want just any kid pickin' up one of those and witnessin' that?"
  221. [ 09:31:25 ] ! Chase shakes his head. "I 'ppreciate it, Zeke. I think we're going to be steeped in this kind of shit anyway."
  222. [ 09:31:26 ] [ @dudeman ] "I might not be one of you guys but I'm not gonna just sit back if somethin' that evil is all over my neighborhood."
  223. [ 09:31:37 ] [ Genevieve ] "We can talk to the General, maybe he can set up a room to toss them in while we're out."
  224. [ 09:31:38 ] [ Rosetta ] "I bet some random kids put them there in the first place actually. Foreigners, probably kidnapped."
  225. [ 09:31:46 ] [ Rosetta ] "Good plan."
  226. [ 09:32:35 ] [ Chase ] "Fucking thing looks like it's covered in soot..." he says, still staring at it.
  227. [ 09:32:56 ] [ @dudeman ] "Well...aite."
  228. [ 09:33:32 ] [ @dudeman ] "Just glad ya'll ran into me before I did anything else with it I guess. Sorry bout that; will see what I can do to help though."
  229. [ 09:33:46 ] [ Genevieve ] "We're kind of en route for another thing, so don't go after any dolls until we get containment set up for them."
  230. [ 09:34:28 ] [ @dudeman ] "kay'..." He seems rather embarassed by this all as he bends down to pick up the remote control, then stands.
  231. [ 09:34:36 ] ! Chase looks over at his friend. "You be careful doing this, man. We'll catch you later, aite? And say hi to Nick and Kiara for me. I'll try to stop in 'fore we leave town anyway."
  232. [ 09:36:03 ] [ Chase ] (Actually)
  233. [ 09:36:14 ] [ Chase ] *Nick and Bitch is what he would have said
  234. [ 09:36:29 ] [ @dudeman ] "Mhm. Well it was way more interestin' than anything on tv today I guess..." He seems oddly motivated after all this to Chase.
  235. [ 09:36:51 ] [ @dudeman ] "Good luck with your explorin' n' shit man. Nice meetin' ya'll." He starts off on his own way back home.
  236. [ 09:37:34 ] [ Chase ] "Later, man."
  237. [ 09:37:44 ] ! Chase glances at the others a bit awkwardly.
  238. [ 09:38:35 ] [ Chase ] "Goddamn that was some scary shit."
  239. [ 09:38:38 ] [ Genevieve ] "That was exciting."
  240. [ 09:38:40 ] ! Rosetta looks down at the doll, then at Zeke's retreating figure, then at everyone else. "Onward?"
  241. [ 09:39:07 ] [ Genevieve ] "We better. Hopefully there isn't another one at the center of this forest thing."
  242. [ 09:39:48 ] [ Chase ] "I figured maybe some explorer team was testing industrial strength pesticide out there. If it's a goddamn voodoo curse, though... Well, I think we can handle it."
  243. [ 09:40:11 ] [ Chase ] "Yeah, let's move on. Saryx, you okay?"
  244. [ 09:41:01 ] [ Saryx ] "That was just freaky!" He unballs himself. "... And don't say that, Gen! There probably will be one just because you did and it's gonna freak out like the other one did!"
  245. [ 09:42:12 ] ! Genevieve is on her phone, posting to the explorer share app about potential wanga dolls on the streets. "Then we'll set it on fire and bury it."
  246. [ 09:42:18 ] ! Chase begins to shuffle onward, tapping away at his smartphone.
  247. [ 09:42:22 ] [ @dudeman ] With a shake and a bake, and a few more minutes, you're past the security gate and out in the mountains leading down to The Queenswood.
  248. [ 09:42:31 ] [ Rosetta ] "Let's not jump to any conclusions just yet, yeah?"
  249. [ 09:43:47 ] [ Chase ] "Well, it's somethin' to keep in mind at least. We gotta be aware of the possibilities."
  250. [ 09:44:07 ] [ @dudeman ] You can even see the Geodudes up on the cliff, but today they are...well, oddly serious, almost sage like, staring off into the forest.
  251. [ 09:45:28 ] [ @dudeman ] As you continue down the path and hit the forest line, give me another round of perception checks.
  252. [ 09:45:40 ] [ Rosetta ] 2d6
  253. [ 09:45:41 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Rosetta, 2d6: 3 [2d6=2,1]
  254. [ 09:45:41 ] [ Genevieve ] 2d6
  255. [ 09:45:42 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Genevieve, 2d6: 11 [2d6=5,6]
  256. [ 09:45:48 ] [ Chase ] 2d6-1 aaaaah
  257. [ 09:45:48 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Chase, aaaaah: 7 [2d6=4,4]
  258. [ 09:46:02 ] ! Rosetta is distracted by birds again probably
  259. [ 09:46:22 ] [ Saryx ] "See?!?" Saryx holds a hand out in the 'dudes' direction to point them. "They know something's going wrong out there and it's probably gonna be more of those dolls and..." He rambles a good sec further beyond that.
  260. [ 09:46:24 ] [ Saryx ] 2d6
  261. [ 09:46:24 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Saryx, 2d6: 8 [2d6=4,4]
  262. [ 09:46:50 ] [ @dudeman ] Everyone but Rosetta notices that it's...
  263. [ 09:47:41 ] [ @dudeman ] ...eerily quiet.
  264. [ 09:47:57 ] [ @dudeman ] No chirping birds, no insect buzzes. Just the rustle of leaves in the wind.
  265. [ 09:48:23 ] [ Genevieve ] "Sounds like they've abandoned this part of the woods."
  266. [ 09:48:38 ] [ Saryx ] Saryx shuts up when he realizes that he's probably the only thing in the forest making any noise. Probably for the best since he probably wasn't making any sense. "... Wow... This place really is dead."
  267. [ 09:49:03 ] [ @dudeman ] The forets here is rather healthy, actually. Nothing out of the ordinary here.
  268. [ 09:49:15 ] [ @dudeman ] Genevieve notices a weird pattern carved into a tree a bit in, though.
  269. [ 09:49:23 ] [ Rosetta ] "Is it?" Rosetta plucks a leaf off a branch as she passes.
  270. [ 09:49:49 ] ! Genevieve approaches the tree and examines the pattern.
  271. [ 09:49:56 ] [ Genevieve ] "I think this is one of the marks the General mentioned."
  272. [ 09:50:00 ] [ Chase ] "The pokemon are gone, at least. And that ain't ever a good sign." he says as he clears brush with his machete.
  273. [ 09:50:48 ] [ @dudeman ] Everyone but Rosetta roll me insight as you look at it.
  274. [ 09:51:01 ] [ Saryx ] WHOOPS. "... You know what I mean, though!" He hugs onto his spear even tighter.
  275. [ 09:51:03 ] [ Saryx ] 3d6
  276. [ 09:51:03 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Saryx, 3d6: 4 [3d6=1,2,1]
  277. [ 09:51:23 ] [ Genevieve ] 2d6
  278. [ 09:51:23 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Genevieve, 2d6: 7 [2d6=2,5]
  279. [ 09:52:44 ] [ Chase ] 4d6+2
  280. [ 09:52:45 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Chase, 4d6+2: 21 [4d6=5,4,4,6]
  281. [ 09:53:07 ] [ @dudeman ] It's a weird looking, twisted pattern of sorts...Saryx and Genevieve can't quite get what it's supposed to be
  282. [ 09:53:11 ] ! Chase glances at the strange pattern, with interest.
  283. [ 09:53:32 ] [ @dudeman ] Chase immediately recognizes it's a letter A in some odd script, and Rosettas as well. It's Alphic Script.
  284. [ 09:54:07 ] [ Rosetta ] "Oh fuckin' A." Rosetta frowns. "It's Alphic. So it might be the dolls after all..."
  285. [ 09:54:09 ] [ Chase ] "This is that unown lettering, ain't it?"
  286. [ 09:54:23 ] [ Rosetta ] "One and the same, yeah."
  287. [ 09:54:36 ] [ Genevieve ] "What letter?"
  288. [ 09:54:48 ] [ Chase ] "Fuckin' A, like she said."
  289. [ 09:55:07 ] [ Genevieve ] "So let's find B and follow the trail."
  290. [ 09:55:11 ] [ Chase ] He seems to be in a good enough mood to make a funny at least.
  291. [ 09:55:29 ] [ Chase ] "You think that's the secret? Well, arright, let's have us a look."
  292. [ 09:56:05 ] [ @dudeman ] Alright, you set off on that path...
  293. [ 09:56:11 ] ! Saryx gently baps Gen with the blunt end of his fishing pole. "I told you not to say that!"
  294. [ 09:56:22 ] [ @dudeman ] Roll me Survival everyone :3 :3 :3 :3 :3
  295. [ 09:56:30 ] [ Genevieve ] "Unless there's some special symbology to the letter A in Alphic, then yeah. Isn't it obvious?"
  296. [ 09:56:32 ] [ Rosetta ] 2d6+2
  297. [ 09:56:32 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Rosetta, 2d6+2: 9 [2d6=2,5]
  298. [ 09:56:37 ] [ Genevieve ] 1d6
  299. [ 09:56:37 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Genevieve, 1d6: 6 [1d6=6]
  300. [ 09:56:42 ] [ Saryx ] 2d6 We're gonna die~
  301. [ 09:56:42 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Saryx, We're gonna die~: 5 [2d6=4,1]
  302. [ 09:56:51 ] [ Chase ] 2d6-1 HERE WE GO
  303. [ 09:56:51 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Chase, HERE WE GO: 6 [2d6=3,4]
  304. [ 09:57:18 ] [ @dudeman ] Zut. You all manage not to get lost following the straight path to a second carving, sure enough it's a B.
  305. [ 09:57:26 ] [ Rosetta ] "Hey, at least this is a known factor. I've seen some really messed up voodoo shit before, and I think I might take the wanga dolls over that. At least there are no needles with these dolls..."
  306. [ 09:57:33 ] [ @dudeman ] Saryx trips over a log into a thorny bush though and takes 10 damage.
  307. [ 09:58:11 ] [ Saryx ] Any chance that's subtracted by Defense, or irreducible?
  308. [ 09:58:45 ] [ @dudeman ] Irreducible!
  309. [ 09:59:10 ] ! Chase looks over with a bit of concern. "Aw, geez, man, be more careful! You aight?"
  310. [ 09:59:37 ] [ @dudeman ] You continue to trek through the woods for quite a while...Rosetta gets a sense these things are about a mile apart.
  311. [ 10:00:24 ] [ Saryx ] Either way... Into the bush he goes. Shoulda been paying attention and not yelling at his friends! "Oww oww oww oww no!" He flails about in the bush a good moment until eventually he pulls himself out. He plucks out a thorn lodged in his arm, wincing in pain as he removes it.
  312. [ 10:00:26 ] [ Rosetta ] "These are mile markers."
  313. [ 10:00:34 ] [ Rosetta ] "Gotta wonder why they didn't use numbers for them then."
  314. [ 10:00:59 ] [ @dudeman ] Along the way you see the occasional grass or flying type, but only for a fluttering second before they notice you.
  315. [ 10:01:08 ] [ Genevieve ] "They? Are we not assuming these are some of the signs your brother left?"
  316. [ 10:01:13 ] [ Chase ] "Well probably see once we reach the end of the trail. Holy shit don't tell me wer'e walking twenty six fucking miles..."
  317. [ 10:01:38 ] ! Chase presses on, regardless, wiping away sweat from his forehead.
  318. [ 10:02:05 ] [ @dudeman ] At about 4 PM you reach...a very sudden, abrupt change in the terrain.
  319. [ 10:02:19 ] [ @dudeman ] It's like someone just drew a line in the dirt, and anything beyond it withered and died.
  320. [ 10:02:47 ] [ Rosetta ] "That...could be." Rosetta thinks. "He was never much of one for Unown occultism, but I guess it makes sense he'd pick a symbol Norina and I would easily recognize."
  321. [ 10:02:47 ] [ @dudeman ] The ground is covered in fallen leaves and dead grass. The trees bare, some fallen.
  322. [ 10:02:49 ] [ Chase ] "...Arceus..."
  323. [ 10:03:14 ] [ Rosetta ] "Well, uh, that's just shiny."
  324. [ 10:03:14 ] ! Chase pushes beyond the last healthy tree, looking around at the devastation.
  325. [ 10:03:25 ] [ Chase ] "I thought shiny was a good thing!"
  326. [ 10:03:31 ] [ Chase ] "This ain't a good thing."
  327. [ 10:03:42 ] [ Rosetta ] "Sarcasm."
  328. [ 10:03:57 ] [ Genevieve ] 4d6 Science
  329. [ 10:03:57 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Genevieve, Science: 12 [4d6=5,2,1,4]
  330. [ 10:04:01 ] ! Rosetta hops up on a tree branch, testing its sturdiness.
  331. [ 10:04:05 ] [ Genevieve ] "Let me have a look at all this..."
  332. [ 10:05:30 ] [ @dudeman ] Genevieve, you dig around a bit and find an Oddish that looks like it perished in a similar manner. It's leaves are withered and brown.
  333. [ 10:06:19 ] [ @dudeman ] Using the tools in your hunter's kit, you're able to conclude this thing died of what you think might be dehydration
  334. [ 10:06:41 ] [ @dudeman ] Acrobatics, Rosetta
  335. [ 10:06:57 ] [ Genevieve ] "Dehydration. Something might be sapping the water out of the plant life here, it would explain the withering."
  336. [ 10:06:59 ] [ Rosetta ] 4d6+2
  337. [ 10:06:59 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Rosetta, 4d6+2: 16 [4d6=4,1,3,6]
  338. [ 10:07:04 ] ! Chase just steps forward, looking around. "Man, even the plant pokemon..."
  339. [ 10:07:17 ] [ @dudeman ] It snaps underfoot but you hop off before injuring yourself
  340. [ 10:08:16 ] [ Rosetta ] "Whoa!" Rosetta lands in a crouch after hopping from the breaking branch. "Yeah, these branches are really brittle."
  341. [ 10:08:36 ] [ Genevieve ] "So what's the pathogen...hm..." Gen gets up from the Oddish starts to walk deeper into the blight.
  342. [ 10:08:49 ] [ Chase ] 3d6-1 Education Pokemon to maybe think of something that can do that? It's probably unnatural but may as well consult my knowledge to think...
  343. [ 10:08:50 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Chase, Education Pokemon to maybe think of something that can do that? It's probably unnatural but may as well consult my knowledge to think...: 14 [3d6=4,6,5]
  344. [ 10:09:17 ] [ Rosetta ] "You think it's a disease? Then it wouldn't stop at such a neat line, would it?"
  345. [ 10:10:04 ] [ @dudeman ] Chase, you know there's mushroom species that could probably do this, what Parases grow on them...and there might be some water or ground types that wound sponge nutrients but...nothing on this degree so suddenly.
  346. [ 10:10:25 ] [ Genevieve ] "It probably isn't, but it's the easiest vector to rule out."
  347. [ 10:11:01 ] [ Chase ] "Don't think it's the doing of pokemon either... never seen something on this sheer scale before."
  348. [ 10:11:11 ] [ Chase ] "Voodoo curse is looking more and more likely."
  349. [ 10:11:40 ] [ Genevieve ] "Magic or high tech."
  350. [ 10:11:50 ] [ Rosetta ] "Magitech?"
  351. [ 10:11:55 ] [ @dudeman ] As you continue on, you notice a rather large tree in a clearing that has topped over. There's a whole sentence in the script here. "FIRST"
  352. [ 10:12:11 ] [ Chase ] "...first? First what?"
  353. [ 10:12:56 ] ! Rosetta steps carefully toward the tree, wary of any traps or anyone hiding near here as she goes.
  354. [ 10:13:01 ] [ Rosetta ] "Let's see."
  355. [ 10:13:01 ] ! Genevieve goes over to see if anything is inside the tree.
  356. [ 10:13:18 ] [ Genevieve ] "Either another sequence trail or this is patient zero."
  357. [ 10:14:00 ] ! Chase isn't too far behind Rosetta.
  358. [ 10:14:06 ] [ @dudeman ] Give me a perception check as you search around the tree.
  359. [ 10:14:11 ] [ Genevieve ] 2d6

  367. [ 10:15:43 ] [ @dudeman ] If you follow the trunk from the words upwards, you notice a broken notch where a branch was.
  368. [ 10:15:57 ] [ @dudeman ] Looking down you see the branch snapped and was, mostly, covered by the tree as it fell.
  369. [ 10:16:22 ] [ @dudeman ] But...there's a bit of the trunk propped up a bit by something.
  370. [ 10:16:45 ] ! Rosetta starts trying to shove the trunk off of whatever that thing is. Power 6.
  371. [ 10:17:00 ] [ @dudeman ] Gonna take a group effort you think!
  372. [ 10:17:33 ] ! Genevieve joins the push with Power 5.
  373. [ 10:18:11 ] [ Saryx ] "Hey, Razor! You're gonna hurt yourself just trying to push at that thing all by yourself!" He joins in on the push 'cause seriously, who lets a pair of girls do all the musclework?!?
  374. [ 10:18:15 ] ! Chase helps too, putting his shoulder into it.
  375. [ 10:18:31 ] [ @dudeman ] You guys all manage to roll the trunk aside some
  376. [ 10:18:36 ] [ Chase ] A whole power 3.
  377. [ 10:19:15 ] [ @dudeman ] You find, sure enough, another one of the dolls with a rather large knife stuck in it. Seems it was positioned in a manner that if you looked up from the word FIRST it would have been looking down at you from the branch above.
  378. [ 10:19:16 ] [ Rosetta ] "I'm fine, I'm fine. See? We got it."
  379. [ 10:19:44 ] [ Genevieve ] "Knife look familiar?"
  380. [ 10:20:17 ] [ Rosetta ] "That's the first I've seen of knives coming with these things. Lemme take a look though." Rosetta stoops down to examine the knife more carefully without removing it yet.
  381. [ 10:20:24 ] ! Saryx sees the doll and "Nope. Not touching that!" He goes waaay far back away from it! Like, a good fifty feet at least, maybe a hundred if the area's big enough for that.
  382. [ 10:20:30 ] [ @dudeman ] It's a fairly generic looking hunting knife.
  383. [ 10:20:53 ] [ Rosetta ] "Chase, this doll have an aura?"
  384. [ 10:21:15 ] ! Chase stares at it, with a frown.
  385. [ 10:21:31 ] [ Chase ] "No, it's clean."
  386. [ 10:22:37 ] [ Chase ] "Saryx, get back over here! Don't wander off, man! The doll is... dead, or somethin'."
  387. [ 10:22:46 ] ! Rosetta nods.
  388. [ 10:22:46 ] [ Genevieve ] "Inert."
  389. [ 10:23:00 ] [ Saryx ] He complies, albeit slowly.
  390. [ 10:23:05 ] [ Chase ] "Is it as simple as just stabbing it?"
  391. [ 10:23:10 ] [ @dudeman ] Sorta deflated too, like the cotton was ripped out of it.
  392. [ 10:23:27 ] [ Rosetta ] "Though really," Rosetta reaches and grabs the knife in it. "if I were to trap it, I'd make this the trigger myself." She tugs it out.
  393. [ 10:23:36 ] [ @dudeman ] A flash drive falls out.
  394. [ 10:24:14 ] [ Rosetta ] "Aha! You're right, it was Corbin leaving those signs then. But...why the desolation?" She snatches up the flash drive.
  395. [ 10:24:34 ] [ Rosetta ] "This place wasn't like this when these were planted here."
  396. [ 10:24:51 ] [ Chase ] "What changed, then?"
  397. [ 10:24:55 ] [ Genevieve ] "Hard to say. We don't have enough information."
  398. [ 10:25:54 ] [ Genevieve ] "Although, I mean, destroy enough forest and you'll find your godbug eventually."
  399. [ 10:25:56 ] [ Rosetta ] "I bet it's another video." Rosetta tosses the drive in her hand lightly. "We can watch it now, or...well, I'd suggest looking around to see what might be the cause of all this first."
  400. [ 10:26:40 ] [ Genevieve ] "Watch it now."
  401. [ 10:27:31 ] [ Rosetta ] "Alrighty." Rosetta takes out her phone and plugs the drive in, tapping at it to navigate to the new folder.
  402. [ 10:27:59 ] ! Chase keeps on watch in the meantime.
  403. [ 10:28:09 ] [ @dudeman ] There's a single video on it. titled 'FIRST' http://pastebin.com/s5SS2dF2
  404. [ 10:28:23 ] ! Rosetta cranks up the volume for everyone else
  405. [ 10:29:34 ] [ Genevieve ] "Is this the girl Saryx thinks he had sex with?"
  406. [ 10:29:58 ] [ Rosetta ] "I dunno. Hey Saryx!"
  407. [ 10:31:11 ] [ Genevieve ] "Rose, do you know this Keeper's Cult?"
  408. [ 10:31:42 ] [ Chase ] "That seems like it'd be a stretch..."
  409. [ 10:32:17 ] [ @dudeman ] All of you give me Education: General rolls
  410. [ 10:32:22 ] [ Chase ] 2d6-1
  411. [ 10:32:22 ] ! Rosetta shakes her head. "If she says my family gave up on those kinds of things, well, that counts double for me. I ran from home to get out of the family's library business and all, and now...I wouldn't be surprised if that were tied to this way back when."
  412. [ 10:32:22 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Chase, 2d6-1: 1 [2d6=1,1]
  413. [ 10:32:25 ] [ Chase ] Who?

  418. [ 10:32:34 ] [ Saryx ] "Wha... WHAT?!? WHY ARE YOU...?!?" Saryx's face turns fiery red. "THIS... THIS ISN'T THE TIME FOR JOKES LIKE THAT! REALLY!" He continues to yell at the girls in a less... coherent manner for a moment.
  419. [ 10:32:35 ] [ Saryx ] 2d6
  420. [ 10:32:35 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Saryx, 2d6: 6 [2d6=3,3]
  421. [ 10:32:38 ] [ @dudeman ] NIGGA WHO? THINKS CHASE.
  422. [ 10:33:04 ] [ @dudeman ] Genevieve is equally stumped.
  423. [ 10:33:50 ] [ Genevieve ] "It wasn't a joke, I was genuinely curious."
  424. [ 10:34:43 ] [ @dudeman ] Saryx recognizes the name from the Sandseeker Temple. Rosetta from her time working with the Vaux family. Far as you know they are like liasons for the region's Legendaries to deal with the government and such.
  425. [ 10:35:07 ] [ @dudeman ] Not really a household name, bit of a secret society.
  426. [ 10:35:19 ] [ Saryx ] "I ALREADY TOLD YOU ALL I KNOW IS THAT SHE SMELLED LIKE CINNAMON NOW LEAVE ME ALONE ABOUT THAT IT WAS EMBARASSING ENOUGH I DON'T NEED TO HAVE IT SHOVED BACK IN MY FACE ON A DAILY BASIS!"
  427. [ 10:35:50 ] ! Rosetta leaning away from screaming gay shota dot jay peg.
  428. [ 10:36:01 ] [ Genevieve ] "Chill out, no one cares but you."
  429. [ 10:36:24 ] [ Rosetta ] "Dude, you are gonna get that giant frog jumping after us."
  430. [ 10:36:28 ] [ Chase ] "You really need to relax, man."
  431. [ 10:36:50 ] [ Rosetta ] "Anyway, I think I remember something about how they're go-betweens for the government and legendary Pokemon of the region."
  432. [ 10:37:18 ] [ Rosetta ] "But like I said, if my family ever had something to do with them, I wouldn't even really know."
  433. [ 10:37:42 ] [ Chase ] "Huh, they do that? Wonder why I ain't ever heard of them."
  434. [ 10:37:55 ] [ Chase ] "That sounds important..."
  435. [ 10:38:19 ] [ Genevieve ] "Hmm...liasons for the regional pantheon...I suppose they would be interested in something like the Sons."
  436. [ 10:38:39 ] [ Genevieve ] "Not that they probably know totally what they're dealing with."
  437. [ 10:38:56 ] [ Rosetta ] "This. This was the girl I saw who killed the thug Corbin had been tailing when the Unown astral projected me across the world."
  438. [ 10:39:12 ] [ Rosetta ] "Yanala, eh? I'll have to remember that name."
  439. [ 10:39:44 ] [ Chase ] "You're finding all sorts of leads today. But I have to wonder what it has to do with the forest dying like this..."
  440. [ 10:39:58 ] [ Chase ] "Let's keep going, we still haven't even gotten close to finding out what happened here."
  441. [ 10:40:24 ] [ Rosetta ] "Me too. This was months ago." Rosetta saves the video to her phone's internal memory, then unplugs the drive. Synced to a Dropbox back home connected to Norina's computer or something.
  442. [ 10:41:30 ] ! Saryx struggles with recomposing himself a moment after that, panting and his face still flushed from screaming at the girls so long without breathing. "... Sorry... This sounds like it's turning into a real big, complicated mess here, though, the forest dying out..."
  443. [ 10:41:36 ] [ Genevieve ] "Cult magic is out of my field, so you two are gonna have to figure this one out."
  444. [ 10:41:48 ] [ Genevieve ] "If I could get back to the Library maybe..."
  445. [ 10:42:15 ] [ Chase ] "I don't got much of an idea about the occult either, girl. Even this aura stuff is pretty new to me, remember?"
  446. [ 10:42:29 ] ! Chase scratches his head.
  447. [ 10:43:04 ] [ Genevieve ] "Yeah, and Zeke was clearly the brains of the band thing."
  448. [ 10:43:08 ] ! Rosetta starts walking further through the clearing and toward the deeper forest.
  449. [ 10:43:24 ] [ @dudeman ] Do any of you have a Pokemon out?
  450. [ 10:43:38 ] [ Chase ] Not Chase.
  451. [ 10:43:52 ] [ Rosetta ] Unown hiding in Rosetta's hood, if that's become its preferred spot.
  452. [ 10:43:59 ] [ Saryx ] None here, no.
  453. [ 10:44:10 ] [ Genevieve ] No.
  454. [ 10:44:24 ] [ @dudeman ] Rosetta, your hood is starting to get wet.
  455. [ 10:44:43 ] ! Rosetta grabs at it with a confused expression.
  456. [ 10:45:02 ] [ @dudeman ] Not very much, mind you, but it's near where K is hiding
  457. [ 10:45:02 ] ! Chase shrugs off the insult. "Yeah, he was, really. Kiara really knew her way around her instruments, though... But that ain't here or there. We should probably get a move on."
  458. [ 10:45:41 ] ! Rosetta fumbles around in her hood and pulls K out.
  459. [ 10:45:52 ] [ @dudeman ] K's...crying?
  460. [ 10:46:00 ] [ @dudeman ] you didn't even know Unowns could do that.
  461. [ 10:46:21 ] [ Rosetta ] "Uh, whoa. You alright?"
  462. [ 10:46:23 ] [ @dudeman ] All of you roll Focus again as well.
  463. [ 10:46:31 ] [ Chase ] 3d6+2
  464. [ 10:46:31 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Chase, 3d6+2: 8 [3d6=1,2,3]
  465. [ 10:46:33 ] [ Rosetta ] 3d6-2 god I need to take iron mind
  466. [ 10:46:34 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Rosetta, god I need to take iron mind: 8 [3d6=4,4,2]
  467. [ 10:46:49 ] [ Saryx ] 4d6
  468. [ 10:46:50 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Saryx, 4d6: 14 [4d6=6,2,5,1]
  469. [ 10:46:56 ] [ Genevieve ] 2d6
  470. [ 10:46:57 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Genevieve, 2d6: 5 [2d6=1,4]
  471. [ 10:47:17 ] [ Chase ] "What's with the waterworks?" he asks, Rosetta, walking over and taking an interest.
  472. [ 10:47:22 ] [ @dudeman ] All of you, except Saryx, are overcome with a sense of grief and loss, and begin to cry gently.
  473. [ 10:48:18 ] [ Chase ] "...whoa, shit, what's with these sudden FEELS?"
  474. [ 10:48:34 ] [ Rosetta ] "I...don't know..." Rosetta wipes at her eyes. "What...what the fuck..." She droops, and her voice turns morose and somber.
  475. [ 10:48:42 ] [ Genevieve ] "What are these...tears? Is there some aura thing going on?"
  476. [ 10:49:04 ] [ @dudeman ] It's he who notices a bit off in the distance, divet in the ground you imagine was once a lake but has dried away. Dead fish lay in the mud that remains. At it's center is a small isle with a stone pavillion, not unlike a Greek ruin.
  477. [ 10:49:16 ] ! Chase feels under his eyes, too. "I don't know, I feel like my mom just died or something..." he keeps wiping at his eyes.
  478. [ 10:49:41 ] [ Rosetta ] "In the ball with you." Rosetta says hollowly as she recalls K.
  479. [ 10:50:51 ] [ Saryx ] "Hey, guys, what's...?!?" He looks back at the rest of you and... "... Maaan, did I just completely miss something happening?!?" He's getting distressed over everyone else having suddenly burst into tears, and runs over to the nearest person. "... Come on, guys, whatever happened, it isn't that bad...!"
  480. [ 10:51:10 ] [ Saryx ] Can I use a LMHYWT on Chase, zoof?!?
  481. [ 10:51:14 ] [ @dudeman ] Sure.
  482. [ 10:51:28 ] [ Saryx ] Roll'at, Chase! +4 modifier.
  483. [ 10:51:39 ] ! Chase attempts to focus!
  484. [ 10:51:42 ] [ Chase ] 3d6+6
  485. [ 10:51:42 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Chase, 3d6+6: 21 [3d6=6,5,4]
  486. [ 10:51:44 ] [ Rosetta ] "Some sort of voodoo shit I guess." Rosetta finds a nearby log and sits down on it.
  487. [ 10:51:51 ] [ Genevieve ] "Nothing, it's nothing." Gen releases Newton and squeezes the Koffing close.
  488. [ 10:52:24 ] [ @dudeman ] The Koffing begins to weep at once, bawling it's eyes out as little puffs of smokesnot come out of its nose.
  489. [ 10:52:57 ] [ @dudeman ] Chase, however, recovers his composure.
  490. [ 10:53:32 ] [ Chase ] "What the fuck, whatever this is... Stop messing with my head!" He manages to concentrate and force himself to stop crying.
  491. [ 10:53:46 ] ! Rosetta just crosses her arms on her knees and lays her head down on them.
  492. [ 10:54:29 ] [ Chase ] "What the hell IS this...?" he tries to turn aura sight on. If these feels are being projected by something, maybe they have an associated aura...
  493. [ 10:54:42 ] [ Genevieve ] "We can't both cry, that's too sad, I'll just cry more."
  494. [ 10:54:43 ] [ Saryx ] "Chase, there's something weird going on in the lake... Some kind of statue thing in there, and it's glowing with fire! I'll try and calm the girls down, but you think you can check that out while I do that?!?"
  495. [ 10:54:57 ] ! Chase looks over at that. "Alright, I'm on it."
  496. [ 10:55:20 ] [ Chase ] "Be ready to run over if something happens. I got a bad feeling about this..."
  497. [ 10:55:49 ] ! Chase walks by Gen, patting her at least... attempting to be comforting as he passes.
  498. [ 10:56:17 ] [ Chase ] "There's... pokemon over there. I can feel their sorrow.."
  499. [ 10:56:27 ] [ Chase ] "Hell, that ruin itself is mourning."
  500. [ 10:56:38 ] [ Saryx ] Before Chase can act on that, he's already booking it over to the other two. "Got it, Chase!" And then he's running back and forth between the two, passing words of encouragement and trying to comfort them with touch... "Come on, Razor... Gen... You don't need to cry... Don't worry! I'm here for you both!"
  501. [ 10:57:11 ] ! Chase starts the walk over to check it out.
  502. [ 10:57:24 ] [ Genevieve ] "But you're just a gay virgin who can't drive!" Gen sobs harder than before and her mascara starts to run.
  503. [ 10:57:42 ] ! Rosetta doesn't respond, head still down.
  504. [ 11:00:58 ] [ Rosetta ] "Let's...let's go take a look." Rosetta gets up, tears still dripping down her face, and slowly walks toward the lakebed.
  505. [ 11:01:31 ] [ Saryx ] Saryx is just about ready to flip a shit, but, well... This isn't the time for this! After fighting back a tyraid of fury, he drops down next to Gen. "... Come on, Gen, I know you don't mean that... You're just upset is all... Come on, just... Ummm..." He ponders this a moment, before he awkwardly wraps an arm around her and Newton, patpatting her. "... Come on, Gen!" Lessee if
  506. [ 11:01:31 ] [ Saryx ] we can't get another LMHYWT on her now~ :D
  507. [ 11:01:40 ] [ @dudeman ] Chase, Rosetta. As you tromp toward it, you both feel soothed. The feeling of sadness fades from Roestta as well.
  508. [ 11:02:01 ] [ Genevieve ] 2d6+4
  509. [ 11:02:02 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Genevieve, 2d6+4: 10 [2d6=3,3]
  510. [ 11:02:22 ] [ @dudeman ] She's able to calm herself, but Newton is struggling with it.
  511. [ 11:03:05 ] ! Rosetta takes a deep breath and shakes her head, then wipes at her tears with her sleeve. She stil looks a little bothered by something though, and she doesn't say anything even as you can see the dolor lifting from her as her posture straightens back up.
  512. [ 11:03:37 ] [ Genevieve ] "You're right...I shouldn't bad sad about that, it's your problem. It's okay, Newton." She gives the Koffing a kiss and shuffles off after Rosetta and Chase.
  513. [ 11:03:58 ] [ Rosetta ] "You said something was still alive out here?"
  514. [ 11:04:16 ] [ @dudeman ] Newton's mood improves as you approach it as well. Before too long you're all standing on the 'shore' of this little mid lake isle.
  515. [ 11:04:31 ] [ Chase ] "It's a lighter aura..." he says to Rosetta quietly as they get near. "I think that's usually better intentions..."
  516. [ 11:04:41 ] [ Chase ] "But it still... LOOKS depressing, if that make sense."
  517. [ 11:04:46 ] [ @dudeman ] And...you notice them. Wanga dolls, everywhere. Torn, shredded, seared, must be dozens of them. And you're not even inside it yet.
  518. [ 11:04:55 ] [ Rosetta ] "Let's get a closer lo- oh. Oh."
  519. [ 11:05:05 ] [ Chase ] "holy..."
  520. [ 11:05:07 ] [ Genevieve ] "Good, more dark magic."
  521. [ 11:05:17 ] [ Genevieve ] "Let's see what they were here for."
  522. [ 11:05:20 ] ! Rosetta takes a step forwardl
  523. [ 11:05:42 ] [ Saryx ] "Oh that's it!" Saryx chases after her. "... And I can too drive! I was working on getting my license for a snowmobile back in Shiverwing!"
  524. [ 11:06:00 ] ! Rosetta starts trotting through the lake bed toward the center.
  525. [ 11:06:19 ] [ @dudeman ] The pavillion is a large structure with a closed, marble roof except for an opening a bit farther in where you can see sunlight peeping through. Several decorative pillars support it. The floor is also marble, but seems there were portions where the water from the lake ran through.
  526. [ 11:06:55 ] [ Rosetta ] "What did this place used to be?" Rosetta opens up the landmarks app on her phone and sees if any Explorer Teams have previously marked the place.
  527. [ 11:07:01 ] [ @dudeman ] It's dark within after a bit, but you can see a fire in the distance.
  528. [ 11:07:35 ] [ @dudeman ] This particular location is unmarked.
  529. [ 11:07:37 ] [ Chase ] "Some kind of forgotten temple?"
  530. [ 11:07:44 ] [ @dudeman ] it's...rather deep in. you weren't aware you traveled that far.
  531. [ 11:07:59 ] [ Genevieve ] 2d6 General Education
  532. [ 11:07:59 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Genevieve, General Education: 7 [2d6=5,2]
  533. [ 11:08:30 ] ! Rosetta marks it 'Creepy Wanga Lake' and continues on, heading toward the fire. night vision goggles on to examine the darker areas of this place.
  534. [ 11:08:37 ] [ Genevieve ] "Not that forgotten if the fire is lit."
  535. [ 11:09:24 ] [ @dudeman ] You know there's sections deep in the wilds here where indigenious tribes once lived but moved on from or died out, Genevieve. Not all of them are registered or found. This could potentially be related to them.
  536. [ 11:09:52 ] [ Chase ] "Well like I said... pretty sure there are pokemon here..."
  537. [ 11:09:56 ] ! Chase glances around.
  538. [ 11:10:14 ] [ Chase ] "...or maybe I saw the auras of more dolls."
  539. [ 11:10:16 ] [ @dudeman ] Night Vision Goggles eh. You see three little impish creatures sobbing on the floor, and six winged creatures swirling around the flame.
  540. [ 11:10:29 ] [ Genevieve ] "It's probably tribal. Which would make sense if the Keepers and the Sons are interested in it."
  541. [ 11:11:02 ] ! Rosetta approaches the former first. "Hey I found some of the Pokemon you sensed Chase." She stoops down and pats them comfortingly.
  542. [ 11:11:14 ] [ @dudeman ] Oh, you're that close..?
  543. [ 11:11:15 ] [ @dudeman ] Well then.
  544. [ 11:11:17 ] [ Rosetta ] Can I tell what species these and the flying ones are?
  545. [ 11:11:35 ] [ Chase ] "Rosetta, don't-"

  1136. [ 12:47:47 ] [ @dudeman ] you both see a muscular man in full safari kicks, nifty hat and short shorts w/ tall socks included, riding an Articuno toward you. There's a Victini in a top hat w/ a monacle on his shoulder.
  1137. [ 12:48:37 ] [ @dudeman ] "SAXTOOOOOOON THORNBERRRY!" he yells as he jumps off the bird and rolls into the scene. <SLAMJAMMIN'> emits the Victini.

  1140. [ 12:49:09 ] [ Saryx ] An Articuno?!? Saryx is seeing stars. While he probably might just look like he's self-medicated on biological pain relief, Gen probably just thinks Saryx found his gay love.

  1145. [ 12:49:52 ] ! Chase sits down with a sigh of relief.
  1146. [ 12:50:02 ] [ @dudeman ] The Articuno waits paitently out front, though it seems unnerved...
  1147. [ 12:50:28 ] [ Chase ] "Sorry... one of the apps started yelling something about an "FOV" and we got our asses thrashed... Saryx got the worst of it and if I hadn't gotten lucky with that throw we'd probably have been in for it."
  1148. [ 12:50:40 ] [ @dudeman ] It's the Victini that takes its hat off, looks around, absolutely horrified. <My...word...>
  1149. [ 12:51:15 ] [ Genevieve ] "Right, Victini, magic. What's up with this place?"
  1150. [ 12:51:27 ] [ Rosetta ] "What is an FOV anyway? We never got brief on that, so I'm guessing it's not anything we were meant to have to handle here."

  1167. [ 12:53:50 ] [ @dudeman ] <I...> Sniff. The Victini seems to be struggling with its emotions as it floats off Saxton's shoulders, deeper into the pavillion.

  1203. [ 01:01:26 ] [ @dudeman ] There's a marble table, stained red. As is ground that once was water beneath it. Next to it is a book case, more modern and lined with novels.
  1204. [ 01:02:14 ] [ Rosetta ] "Whose place was this?" Rosetta looks around, her eyes focused on that red stain. Blood? Dried blood?
  1205. [ 01:02:29 ] [ @dudeman ] Upon the table, Loki sits, weeping more than you should feel comfortable watching a Legendary do. Next to him lays the body of a dark skinned woman in a toga. A hole in her chest where her heart would be. Her face...is mutilated. Eyes removed, mouth sewn shut, ears cut off.
  1206. [ 01:02:57 ] [ Genevieve ] "Isn't that how..."
  1207. [ 01:03:11 ] [ @dudeman ] All around you are destroyed dolls.
  1208. [ 01:03:13 ] [ Rosetta ] "Oh dear fu-, excuse me." Rosetta quickly pushes past whoever else is entering the room and retches just outside in the corner.
  1209. [ 01:03:21 ] ! Chase just stares, no expletive even capable of describing this situation.
  1210. [ 01:03:46 ] ! Genevieve walks to the body and examines it, checking for any kind of identification.
  1211. [ 01:03:48 ] [ Saryx ] "... Just like..." Ooh, his attention goes straight to Rose and ohGodrightbackawayewwwwgross.
  1212. [ 01:03:53 ] [ @dudeman ] <Yem...Lady Yemaja has...been usurped.> Loki loses it and cries profusely.
  1213. [ 01:04:12 ] [ Genevieve ] "Who is Lady Yemaja?"
  1214. [ 01:04:15 ] [ @dudeman ] "Great Googly Moogly." Saxton utters.
  1215. [ 01:04:39 ] [ Chase ] "So this is why they were mourning..."
  1216. [ 01:04:41 ] [ @dudeman ] Chase, roll me Education: Pokemon.
  1217. [ 01:04:46 ] [ Chase ] 3d6-1
  1218. [ 01:04:47 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Chase, 3d6-1: 5 [3d6=1,2,3]
  1219. [ 01:04:54 ] [ @dudeman ] Ouch.
  1220. [ 01:04:59 ] [ Chase ] Could... could I get a let me help you or something.
  1221. [ 01:05:08 ] [ Saryx ] Yeah, Saryx can help... Somehow.
  1222. [ 01:05:26 ] [ @dudeman ] Saryx and Chase banter a bit from their shared experiences, and recall this
  1223. [ 01:05:32 ] [ @dudeman ] Lady Yemaja is one of the Lake Guardians of Visiwa.
  1224. [ 01:05:32 ] [ Saryx ] He's still got 2 AP and 34 HP.
  1225. [ 01:05:47 ] [ @dudeman ] In particular, the Mespirit
  1226. [ 01:05:55 ] [ Chase ] "A lake guardian..."
  1227. [ 01:06:16 ] ! Rosetta walks back in after a minute, eyes averted from the scene. "What do you mean...usurped?"
  1228. [ 01:06:19 ] [ Chase ] "These are dark days, man..."
  1229. [ 01:06:38 ] ! Chase shakes his head, and pulls out the artillery ball, unsure if he should bring the zubat out or not.
  1230. [ 01:06:59 ] [ Chase ] "You've already seen enough of this, haven't you? ...I'm sorry we disturbed you.." he says quietly.
  1231. [ 01:07:14 ] ! Chase looks back up at the body.
  1232. [ 01:07:38 ] [ @dudeman ] Loki calms himself a bit. <After the...sundering of the isles...Bondye created them to ensure such a catastrophy should never come again.>
  1233. [ 01:08:22 ] [ Rosetta ] "Actually, you know what? Let's...at least some of us go back now, with Saryx. He needs medical treatment."
  1234. [ 01:08:28 ] [ Genevieve ] "Multiple paths towards destruction? Maybe a decoy plan?" Gen continues to mutter to herself as she moves to the bookcase.
  1235. [ 01:08:46 ] [ Chase ] "This is the start of all of it, isn't it..."
  1236. [ 01:08:49 ] [ Rosetta ] "Sorry, we can get the full explanation later." Rosetta looks over at Saryx with a worried expression.
  1237. [ 01:09:01 ] [ Chase ] "No, I want to hear this."
  1238. [ 01:09:08 ] [ Chase ] "Go ahead, take Saryx back."
  1239. [ 01:09:15 ] [ Chase ] "But this is something that needs to be heard."
  1240. [ 01:09:50 ] [ @dudeman ] "Settle down now, lads and lasses. Miss Blue should be able to return you, and I got other flyers as well, but yes, let Loki finish."
  1241. [ 01:09:53 ] ! Chase shifts the Disciple a bit so that Rosetta can support him, maybe.
  1242. [ 01:10:05 ] ! Chase listens.
  1243. [ 01:10:27 ] [ Saryx ] He's got a goofy smile on his face, but yeah, he's completely out of it. Probably taking a whole lot just to stand upright even with Chase... Or Rose... holding him up. Probably less so with Rose 'cause Chase is megawimp.
  1244. [ 01:10:39 ] ! Rosetta takes on Saryx's weight, easily supporting him.
  1245. [ 01:11:20 ] [ @dudeman ] <The...concept has been legend throughout the ages, and the sundering spaked a renewed interest in it.>
  1246. [ 01:11:21 ] ! Chase pays the victini full attention.
  1247. [ 01:11:51 ] [ @dudeman ] <It was not until this century mankind had the knowledge to do so, though. Criminals throughout the world have practiced it. But not here, not until now.>
  1248. [ 01:12:22 ] [ @dudeman ] <To steal the power, the spark, the life and place of one of our kind.>
  1249. [ 01:12:41 ] [ @dudeman ] <Someone...did this to her. Devoured her heart. She is no more.> he droops
  1250. [ 01:12:59 ] [ Chase ] "A human taking the power of a legendary pokemon...? Shiiiiit...."
  1251. [ 01:13:12 ] [ Rosetta ] "Doesn't that mean...to become a god?"
  1252. [ 01:13:13 ] [ Genevieve ] "A...a test run? This is what they want to do to the Broken One's successor!"
  1253. [ 01:13:57 ] ! Chase bites his lip. Shit just got real.
  1254. [ 01:14:05 ] [ @dudeman ] <That would depend on the nature of the devoured, miss.> Loki looks to Rosetta.
  1255. [ 01:14:35 ] [ @dudeman ] <Lady Yemaja...was not a god, no. No Lake Guardians truely are. But their power is of equal to one.>
  1256. [ 01:15:02 ] [ @dudeman ] <I...don't understand how a mortal could do this. The Lake Guardians were gifted with power to halt any mortal's advances.>
  1257. [ 01:15:20 ] [ @dudeman ] <She had caretakers, who checked on her monthly. Brought her books...> he looks to the shelf.
  1258. [ 01:15:31 ] [ @dudeman ] <I don't understand...>
  1259. [ 01:15:44 ] [ Genevieve ] "You mean the Keepers?"
  1260. [ 01:15:47 ] [ Chase ] "Did they have help from... something that wasn't mortal?"
  1261. [ 01:16:35 ] [ @dudeman ] Roll perception by the way, Rosetta.
  1262. [ 01:16:46 ] [ Rosetta ] "Would these dolls explain how they managed it? Proxies so they don't have to face her in person."
  1263. [ 01:16:47 ] [ Rosetta ] 2d6
  1264. [ 01:16:48 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Rosetta, 2d6: 9 [2d6=3,6]
  1265. [ 01:17:01 ] [ @dudeman ] <The Keepers Cult. They are mortal, Pokemon and humans alike.>
  1266. [ 01:17:21 ] [ @dudeman ] Along her bookshelf are several leatherbound tomes, mostly history and research.
  1267. [ 01:17:26 ] [ @dudeman ] And...a copy of Scouts. Huh.
  1268. [ 01:17:33 ] [ Genevieve ] "Also probably being wiped out."
  1269. [ 01:17:44 ] [ Chase ] "I hope not."
  1270. [ 01:18:30 ] [ @dudeman ] "I'm not exactly a religious man but I do know this is a terrible omen," says Saxton quietly.
  1271. [ 01:18:59 ] ! Chase shakes his head quietly.
  1272. [ 01:19:04 ] [ Genevieve ] "Tactically speaking, it's one of the better plays the Sons could make. Particularly if they're targeting legends that sequester themselves."
  1273. [ 01:19:05 ] [ Rosetta ] "Well, they've certainly failed to check on her, so something happened." Rosetta eyes go to the shelf, and she tugs on the Scouts book. "This...kind of stands out from the rest." She flips through it and shakes it, seeing if there are any notes left in it or the like.
  1274. [ 01:19:17 ] [ @dudeman ] It's a fake book.
  1275. [ 01:19:20 ] [ @dudeman ] There's another flash drive in it.
  1276. [ 01:19:28 ] [ Chase ] "She deserves... I don't know. A burial or something. I don't know... how they're supposed to have their last rites."
  1277. [ 01:19:45 ] ! Rosetta takes it wordlessly.
  1278. [ 01:19:49 ] [ Genevieve ] 3d6 Science to determine how long she's been dead
  1279. [ 01:19:49 ] [ DiceMaid-9001 ] Genevieve, Science to determine how long she's been dead: 10 [3d6=4,1,5]
  1280. [ 01:20:50 ] ! Rosetta takes out her phone and plugs it in. "...Sorry, Saryx. We'll get you back asap, but..." tap tap navigate
  1281. [ 01:21:11 ] [ @dudeman ] You're not exactly a doctor but if you had to guess within the last 48 hours.
  1282. [ 01:21:21 ] [ Chase ] She IS exactly a doctor.
  1283. [ 01:21:24 ] [ @dudeman ] http://pastebin.com/s5SS2dF2 , appended it to the end.
  1284. [ 01:21:27 ] [ @dudeman ] WELL YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN
  1285. [ 01:21:56 ] [ Rosetta ] "Corbin what the hell..." Rosetta turns up the volume and sets the phone down on the table for everyone to see.
  1286. [ 01:23:08 ] [ Genevieve ] "There. She's responsible for handling the actions of the Forgotten Gods, that's why they would target her. Loki, are the other Lake Guardians the same?"
  1287. [ 01:23:53 ] [ @dudeman ] Loki floats slowly, and lifts the body as well telekinetically. <Mr. Thornberry, I must depart from your company for a bit. It is the second time in my incarnation I have had to make this trip. First, for my brother, now...> he looks to Genevieve.
  1288. [ 01:24:05 ]  · · Quits : Aori_Radidjiu [ Revolution@sux-32336578.itap.purdue.edu ] : [ Quit: ]
  1289. [ 01:24:28 ] [ Rosetta ] Saved to internal memory, sycned to dropbox, etc.
  1290. [ 01:24:46 ] [ @dudeman ] <Masters Njord and Awge reside on what you refer to as Light Isle and White Chord Isle, respectively.>
  1291. [ 01:25:26 ] [ Genevieve ] "Will you warn them? If they might be able to interfere in Forgotten God business, the Sons will be after them, next."
  1292. [ 01:25:29 ] [ @dudeman ] <If Lady Yemaja was assaulted in such a manner...it is safe to say they would be targets as well. Yes.> The thought of this sends a chill down his spine.
  1293. [ 01:26:09 ] [ Rosetta ] "How do you get in touch with the Keepers?"
  1294. [ 01:26:54 ] [ Chase ] "I think the government can handle that part when we give our report, Rosetta."
  1295. [ 01:27:11 ] [ @dudeman ] <I apologize. I have spent long in the company of your kind and not my own. I am unsure of the exact significance of which you speak. The Outer Gods are aloof and The Flayed One is not one for cruecial conversations.>
  1296. [ 01:28:07 ] [ Rosetta ] "No, I mean personally, Chase. If this is the trend of where this search is leading me, I'm gonna have to talk to them."
  1297. [ 01:28:34 ] [ @dudeman ] <The Keepers Cult and The Keepers are seperate entities, young lady.>
  1298. [ 01:28:46 ] [ Chase ] "Oh, I see."
  1299. [ 01:29:09 ] [ Chase ] "So it was definitely the same guys who got to Corbin that did this, huh..."
  1300. [ 01:29:09 ] [ Rosetta ] "The cult one then."
  1301. [ 01:29:35 ] [ @dudeman ] <One I cannot say, they find us. The other reside all around this region. Though Shango will be of little help to you...>
  1302. [ 01:30:04 ] [ Rosetta ] "I'll find this Yanala then, if she's still alive."
  1303. [ 01:30:12 ] [ @dudeman ] <I suggest you seek out Master Njord or Agwe in my steed. Where I must go will keep my attention for an extended period.>
  1304. [ 01:30:29 ] [ @dudeman ] <They may be better able to guide you in this endevour than I.>
  1305. [ 01:31:03 ] [ Genevieve ] "Alright. We'll need to move quickly then, Yemaja hasn't been dead for very long so the other two can be warned."
  1306. [ 01:31:25 ] [ @dudeman ] "I suppose this means you will miss the cricket match this weekend, Loki. Well, I cannot hold it against you. This is a gr - dreadful matter."
  1307. [ 01:32:33 ] ! Chase shakes his head. "Let's... get back to town, now. Don't think there's anything else we can do. Thanks for your help." he says to Loki.
  1308. [ 01:32:40 ] [ @dudeman ] With that Loki nods, and speeds away with the remains of Lady Yemaja like a comet across the sky.
  1309. [ 01:32:48 ] [ Rosetta ] "Saryx, how are you holding up?"
  1310. [ 01:33:39 ] [ @dudeman ] Saxton shakes his head. "This is worse than the time Loki and I stole Met Kalfu's personal brew. I apologize for you kids becoming involved in such a matter on your first day...but yes, we should head to Red Blade City at once."
  1311. [ 01:33:58 ] [ Genevieve ] "We were already involved, but thanks."
  1312. [ 01:34:30 ] [ Saryx ] "Nnnngh... Okay enough... I think?" He lifts his head up so it's not just dangling and flops it alongside the rest of his weight up against Rose's shoulder.
  1313. [ 01:34:48 ] [ Chase ] "...shit, this is something else."
  1314. [ 01:34:52 ] ! Chase just shakes his head.
  1315. [ 01:35:17 ] [ Chase ] "Let's go."
  1316. [ 01:35:44 ] [ Rosetta ] "Shit, you look like you're gonna need to spend a few nights in ICU." Rosetta shifts to let Saryx be more comfortable, then leads him toward the Articuno.
  1317. [ 01:35:45 ] [ @dudeman ] He picks Saryx up gently and carries him over to Miss Blue the Articuno, and then releases a giant draconic Tropius and a Drifblim the size of an actual hot air baloon.
  1318. [ 01:35:55 ] ! Chase glances at the table again as they head out, and murmurs, "I'm not going to let this happen to your sister, man. Not if I can help it." to no one in particular.
  1319. [ 01:36:18 ] [ Saryx ] He gets to ride the Articuno back to Red Blade? :D
  1320. [ 01:36:29 ] [ @dudeman ] He certainly does.
  1321. [ 01:36:35 ] [ Genevieve ] "Aw yes, Tropius. Thornberry, you've got class."
  1322. [ 01:36:55 ] [ @dudeman ] The icy feathers feels like heaven on your wounds.
  1323. [ 01:37:33 ] [ @dudeman ] "I cannot help but agreee with such an assessment, but for now let us make with haste." He grabs onto one of the Drifblim's arms
  1324. [ 01:37:54 ] [ Saryx ] He's hugging on as tight as he possibly can to that thing, and even when they get back, he ain't letting go if he can help it~ ... Which he probably can't.
  1325. [ 01:41:29 ] [ @dudeman ] You all grab onto the mounts of your choice, and flee back to Fort Reuben as fast as you can muster. </session>
