  1. Jul 13 17:02:38 * Knox is about to get bugged by a fairy, apparently!
  2. Jul 13 17:04:56 * Mayuri would probably rather bother Lesieli first!
  3. Jul 13 17:06:00 <Knox> =/
  4. Jul 13 17:06:05 * Knox is now known as Kain
  5. Jul 13 17:06:08 <Kain> Fine then
  6. Jul 13 17:08:42 * Kain is now known as Knox
  7. Jul 13 17:10:16 <Knox> It could still be late during the cleanup of the ship, or it might even be the next morning! Who really knows?
  8. Jul 13 17:11:00 * Mayuri isn't sure where Knox would be!
  9. Jul 13 17:12:21 <Knox> Well, it depends on the time of day. If it's still that night, Knox is on deck with a mop and bucket, cleaning up ashes.
  10. Jul 13 17:16:04 * Mayuri looks around for someone to bother!
  11. Jul 13 17:16:25 * Knox is definitely around, scrubbing the deck. It's not a glamorous job but someone has to do it.
  12. Jul 13 17:18:35 * Mayuri walks up with a Chiri on her head, and holding a letter of some sort!
  13. Jul 13 17:18:59 <Mayuri> "Hi Knox~"
  14. Jul 13 17:22:34 <Mayuri> "So... uhm~ I was looking for someone to try and test something for me. You wanna help?"
  15. Jul 13 17:24:28 * Knox looks up and leans on his mop, giving his trademark stare.
  16. Jul 13 17:24:35 <Knox> "That depends heavily on what you're doing."
  17. Jul 13 17:24:50 <Mayuri> "Well.. uhm... I promise it won't kill you, and it'll come out after a shower~"
  18. Jul 13 17:25:23 <Knox> He snorts. "If this has to do with glowpaint then I've already got my own trap in place."
  19. Jul 13 17:25:56 * Mayuri blinks! She looks a tiny bit surprised at Knox's reaction
  20. Jul 13 17:26:12 <Knox> "If it's fairy glitter or some shit, forget about it." he continues mopping.
  21. Jul 13 17:26:16 <Mayuri> "Uhm... it might have something to do with non-washable glowpaint."
  22. Jul 13 17:26:47 * Knox looks up again. "Really."
  23. Jul 13 17:28:07 * Knox puts the mop aside, leaning it on the rails. "Fine, I may as well see what you've got planned."
  24. Jul 13 17:30:18 <Knox> "Don't get any ideas, though, I'm not particularly in the mood to be your guinea grumpig at the moment, I'm just interested in what kind of sneaky shit you're getting up to."
  25. Jul 13 17:32:59 <Mayuri> "Just a strongly worded letter or two~ Really strongly worded and illustrated, but, same idea."
  26. Jul 13 17:34:28 * Knox heads along to see, then!
  27. Jul 13 17:34:44 <Knox> He doesn't want to admit, but she has his interest.
  28. Jul 13 17:36:28 * Mayuri shrugs
  29. Jul 13 17:37:00 <Mayuri> "It's just going to be a few letters taped to their doors."
  30. Jul 13 17:37:29 <Mayuri> "Apparently some Fairytale Girls over in Hoenn came up with a ritual to protect diaries. I figured it'd work on a letter too."
  31. Jul 13 17:37:50 <Knox> 4d6 Occult
  32. Jul 13 17:37:50 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, Occult: 16 [4d6=6,3,2,5]
  33. Jul 13 17:38:51 <Knox> "...I've heard of -something- like this that Rune Masters can do, but I'm not well-trained enough for that shit yet." he muses.
  34. Jul 13 17:39:30 <Knox> "So you're essentially going to trap a letter with some sort of reactive magic to get back at them. ...Go on."
  35. Jul 13 17:41:22 <Mayuri> "Yep! And if I understand it right, they'll be covered in glitter, stuck with cotton candy... I haven't had anybody try to read my dairy before though, so, I don't know what it's actually like."
  36. Jul 13 17:41:27 <Mayuri> diary*
  37. Jul 13 17:41:47 <Knox> "...and so you needed a test subject."
  38. Jul 13 17:42:20 * Mayuri nods
  39. Jul 13 17:42:22 <Mayuri> "Yep!"
  40. Jul 13 17:42:37 <Mayuri> "Just in case it shoots really sharp glitter or something."
  41. Jul 13 17:43:28 * Knox takes a detour to swap out his pokemon, then.
  42. Jul 13 17:43:35 * Knox then keeps following Mayu.
  43. Jul 13 17:48:51 <Knox> "Pity it sounds so useless aside from revenge pranking. I could think of so many goddamn uses for trapped words."
  44. Jul 13 17:50:34 * Mayuri has a few letters in hand! They're folded with some stupid origami trick, and sealed with a small glitterly Cleffa sticker, and with "A small gift from your secret admirer, To: Team ReSET." written on the front. There's something buldging a little in the middle.
  45. Jul 13 17:52:41 * Knox lets out Lumina, his Illumise for this. "Alright, you seem like one that won't be bothered by a little glitter. Hell, your type may even enjoy it."
  46. Jul 13 17:53:30 * Knox seems to be intending to use Lumina to trigger Mayuri's trap rather than himself.
  47. Jul 13 17:53:43 * Mayuri blinks
  48. Jul 13 17:54:04 <Mayuri> "Do... fireflies, like, have the dexterity to open a letter?"
  49. Jul 13 17:55:29 * Mayuri shrugs and hands one of her letters to the Illumise
  50. Jul 13 17:56:00 <Knox> She's got little hands! Anyway, the letter is opened!
  51. Jul 13 17:56:22 * Knox gets a good ways away!
  52. Jul 13 17:56:45 <Mayuri> ((Is Aory jumping in or should I do this~?))
  53. Jul 13 17:59:35 <Mayuri> (( Aori_Radidjiu ))
  54. Jul 13 18:00:28 <Knox> (He said he was feeling spacey in another channel)
  55. Jul 13 18:00:36 <Mayuri> ((Oh!))
  56. Jul 13 18:00:50 <Knox> (But up to him I suppose)
  57. Jul 13 18:00:58 <Mackenzie> (He's groping kevin spacey?)
  58. Jul 13 18:01:11 <Mayuri> ((Boys groping boys? o.o))
  59. Jul 13 18:03:43 <Mayuri> ((I guess that means Aory's missings!))
  60. Jul 13 18:14:28 <Mayuri> *A elaborate pattern in the letter starts glowing! Then, a quick blast of cotton candy laced with lots of glitter materializes in the middle of the letter, coveing the Illumise and the wall behind her!"
  61. Jul 13 18:14:40 <Mayuri> *Also, one of those school eraser things falls out onto the floor.*
  62. Jul 13 18:16:00 <Knox> Lumina: ". . ." The bug doesn't even know what to think. So she just keeps hovering there, covered in cotton candy and glitter.
  63. Jul 13 18:16:33 <Knox> Knox snirks a little, but looks over. "I thought you said this had to do with glowpaint, though. This is just your revenge, then?"
  64. Jul 13 18:16:56 <Mayuri> "Well... they used glow paint that was super-hard to get out of my clothes."
  65. Jul 13 18:17:04 <Knox> Eventually, the Illumise probably starts eating the candy off of herself.
  66. Jul 13 18:18:14 <Knox> "Invisible shit too - or rather, delayed transparency. The wonderful fucking world of chemistry, huh. They pissed off at least a couple hundred people."
  67. Jul 13 18:19:13 * Knox judges the scene for a moment. "Fair enough, but not nearly as funny as what I came up with."
  68. Jul 13 18:20:23 <Mayuri> "There's no point in revenge if they don't know why I did it!"
  69. Jul 13 18:20:27 <Mayuri> "So, like, that's why it's a letter."
  70. Jul 13 18:21:27 <Knox> "The way the transparent paint works I think is that it loses its transparency after a while exposed to air. So what I did was fill some water-dissolving containers with it and stuck them in their shower heads."
  71. Jul 13 18:22:13 <Knox> "Next time they take showers, they'll start glowing a while after they get out."
  72. Jul 13 18:22:51 <Mayuri> "... water dissolving?" ^^;
  73. Jul 13 18:23:52 <Knox> "Yeah, think like a small balloon that breaks apart in water - but not from the paint."
  74. Jul 13 18:24:23 <Knox> "More chemistry bullshit, you can find them here and there."
  75. Jul 13 18:24:55 <Mayuri> "Couldn't you just mix it into their body wash or something..." ^.^;
  76. Jul 13 18:25:43 <Knox> "Could have, but wasn't sure if they were using that or bars of soap. Hell, I couldn't even be sure with their shampoo. Some people keep like ten bottles of that shit on hand. So I took the more sure route."
  77. Jul 13 18:26:23 <Knox> "I didn't scout the bathrooms until I actually got the stuff."
  78. Jul 13 18:26:24 * Knox shrug.
  79. Jul 13 18:27:52 <Knox> "Shower head pranks also work pretty well with gatrade or bouillon cubes, though you're a bit short to be able to pull those off."
  80. Jul 13 18:28:29 * Mayuri crosses her arms
  81. Jul 13 18:28:37 <Mayuri> "Sneaking into people's showers is a little weird anyway."
  82. Jul 13 18:28:50 <Knox> "So is covering everyone's asses in glowing paint!"
  83. Jul 13 18:29:56 <Knox> "Anyway I don't really hate those guys or whatever so this juvenile shit will have to do as far as getting back at them."
  84. Jul 13 18:30:02 * Mayuri shrugs
  85. Jul 13 18:30:20 <Mayuri> "I'm not sure how they did that without, like, the event organizers noticing..."
  86. Jul 13 18:30:45 <Knox> "Maybe one of them's a ninja."
  87. Jul 13 18:31:43 * Knox starts taking Lumina off to get her cleaned off. "Anyway, now you know your ritual shit works... and now I know to be careful what the fuck I open. Win win situation."
  88. Jul 13 18:38:17 <Mayuri> "Hey, you glare at people a lot, but, like, you don't actually make them not like you~"
  89. Jul 13 18:40:53 <Mayuri> "I don't know why I'd want to do something like that to you."
  90. Jul 13 18:40:55 * Knox gives Mayuri a look. "I don't actively try to make people dislike me. It doesn't lend well to this line of work. That said, I don't put up with bullshit if I don't have to and I don't put up false pretenses with people I don't like."
  91. Jul 13 18:43:16 <Mayuri> "It's easier to make friends if you're nice to people to begin with, you know~ You can't exactly make it far as a coordinator if everybody hates you, and you have less people who you can ask for help if something goes wrong."
  92. Jul 13 18:45:38 <Knox> "I don't care about making friends. The kind of people I'd consider interesting enough to be friends will likely end up that way naturally, not through playing nice or being a people person. For people that you want to THINK you're nice, there's always straight up bullshitting like I did on stage. The announcer called me dashing for fuck's sake."
  93. Jul 13 18:47:29 <Knox> "Basically, if I like you enough I'll be nice. If I don't like you, I'll be a dick. If you try to pull bullshit on me, I'll be a dick. If I don't hate you and you're somewhat relevant, I'll at least give you the time of day but not much else."
  94. Jul 13 18:47:58 <Knox> "And that's the way I've always been."
  95. Jul 13 18:51:13 <Mayuri> "If you do that, people'll think you're a dick all the time, and then you'll probably find it harder to make people like you when you need it! And it's a lot easier to do what you want if people like you, isn't it."
  96. Jul 13 18:51:33 <Mayuri> "I don't like it when my parents say I like pink too much, or think I should evolve my Pokemon... but, I still listen to them on some things."
  97. Jul 13 18:53:07 <Mayuri> "I mean, that's how I managed to get over to Hoenn without anybody giving me trouble~"
  98. Jul 13 18:58:37 <Knox> "I have to admit that's impressive for a kid your age, but seriously. I kind of am a dick all the time. I know how to lie to people, and generally get what I want, I just don't bother when it comes to the crew. And as far as that goes, whether someone likes me or not only matters as far as whether it affects how we get shit done or not."
  99. Jul 13 18:59:07 <Knox> "It's not exactly a hard concept to grasp."
  100. Jul 13 19:00:02 <Knox> "I don't let me feelings for someone get in the way of getting shit done, and I generally expect others to be the same. That's part of what being professional is."
  101. Jul 13 19:00:07 <Knox> *my
  102. Jul 13 19:04:47 <Knox> "What are you trying to get across to me, exactly? I'm really not the kind of guy that's going to benefit a whole lot from power of friendship speeches. I was tight with my old crew but we respected each other over our experiences and general merits, and worked hard together as a team. What happened tonight is a good ways towards the same with this crew, but we're not quite there yet."
  103. Jul 13 19:07:34 * Mayuri shrugs
  104. Jul 13 19:07:54 <Mayuri> "You can, like, clearly be all charming and stuff like in that contest~"
  105. Jul 13 19:08:17 <Mayuri> "Seems like it'd be a little... uhm... tiring to be all grumpy all the time."
  106. Jul 13 19:09:37 <Knox> "I find the opposite true more than not." he grumbles.
  107. Jul 13 19:11:27 <Knox> "In any case, being pessimistic keeps me from getting too disappointed in the world at large."
  108. Jul 13 19:12:02 <Knox> "You keep on looking through the world through fairy-tinted glasses, and enjoy it while you can."
  109. Jul 13 19:12:32 * Mayuri crosses her arms and makes a small pouting face
  110. Jul 13 19:12:36 <Mayuri> "Luna seems to be doing fine, anyway."
  111. Jul 13 19:14:50 <Knox> "Mostly because she's skilled at manipulating the hearts of sad, lonely virgins who like to see skin before the watershed hits. It's a wonder she didn't end up in adult entertainment or something."
  112. Jul 13 19:15:52 <Mayuri> "Hey, I thought that was what 6th graders called ach other."
  113. Jul 13 19:15:53 <Mayuri> each*
  114. Jul 13 19:16:57 <Knox> "Yeah, it's a bit of a kiddy thing to insult someone by calling them a virgin, but this is one of those statistically validated stereotypes." he rolls his eyes.
  115. Jul 13 19:17:19 <Knox> "The girl knows her demographic, in any case."
  116. Jul 13 19:18:29 <Mayuri> "I guess I should avoid her fans then."
  117. Jul 13 19:19:33 <Knox> "No kidding."
  118. Jul 13 19:19:49 <Knox> "Anyway, I'm going to get back to work. Nice talking with you or whatever, kid."
  119. Jul 13 19:22:20 <Mayuri> "You're a bit of a grump, but, you're still fun to talk to, I guess~ You too."
  120. Jul 13 19:22:48 * Knox decides to take that as a compliment, and leaves to get his firefly cleaned up and then back to work fixing the ship!
  121. Jul 13 19:23:08 * Mayuri plots to wait until Team ReSET turns in for bed, and plant her "gift"
