  1. Oct 28 18:10:04 <Aori_Radidjiu> Here's our summary of a few things that happen inbetween:
  2. Oct 28 18:13:19 <Aori_Radidjiu> The group receives their compensation from Lecia before they leave Hermit (the aforementioned 10k PY), Team ReSET decides to part ways with you guys for a bit (but Sami insists they'll be BAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK later), and you all head over to Conch for a bit.
  3. Oct 28 18:14:33 <Aori_Radidjiu> Which, of course, leads to Knox asking to do something wtih Lecia in her lab...involving dreams
  4. Oct 28 18:15:03 <Knox> Knox, for the record, did sell off his sunglasses and grab that armor before they left.
  5. Oct 28 18:15:14 <Aori_Radidjiu> good
  6. Oct 28 18:15:20 <Lecia> Something something, courage, reality.
  7. Oct 28 18:15:26 <Aori_Radidjiu> Fast-forward to Lecia's dream lab.
  8. Oct 28 18:19:52 <Knox> Knox certain has visited Lecia's lab, he needs her for a specific purpose!
  9. Oct 28 18:19:56 <Knox> *certainly
  10. Oct 28 18:20:40 <Knox> (That said I'm not sure how far ahead we've skipped here)
  11. Oct 28 18:21:24 <Aori_Radidjiu> (Where would you like to go to? Asking her about it? Right before getting INDUCED in the dreamy area? Skip right to the dream land?)
  12. Oct 28 18:21:38 <Knox> (Let's go for the former)
  13. Oct 28 18:22:32 <Knox> Knox has only just arrived, but he's gone straight for the lab to find Lecia and talk to her. Presumably she knows he's coming but either way, when he finds her, he has a rather determined expression on his face. "Lecia."
  14. Oct 28 18:23:12 <Aori_Radidjiu> ALL RIGHT, so we start in the most well-known area of the Lecia cave, where tons of junk and tinkering experiments are all about, along with a large numbert of entertainment setups and booming anime. Gran is there, his facial expression as neutral as ever, standing around quietly in case he's needed.
  15. Oct 28 18:23:19 <Knox> Oh, oops
  16. Oct 28 18:23:41 <Aori_Radidjiu> No oops, Lecia should be there too~
  17. Oct 28 18:24:09 <Aori_Radidjiu> It's hard to say what she's doing at the moment, however.
  18. Oct 28 18:24:40 <Lecia> For once, the door opens to reveal not Lecia playing games, but her wrapping up a training session with Granzon! (Of course, anime is still playing.) "Welcome back, Knox!" She notes the determined expression. "...I take it you're ready, then?"
  19. Oct 28 18:25:14 <Knox> "Have been for some time. Recent events have just driven the point home."
  20. Oct 28 18:25:39 <Knox> "I'd like you to explain this to me a bit better though, before we get started."
  21. Oct 28 18:27:32 <Lecia> "Alright, though it wouldn't hurt to make our way to the dream machine first! Should I just do a general explanation, or did you have specific questions in mind?" She does head towards the machine, though she's certainly not going to leave anyone behind at the pace she's going.
  22. Oct 28 18:28:40 <Knox> "Go ahead with the broad overview, refresh me here. I get the general idea but I don't want to go into this with misconceptions. I'll let you know if there's something I want to hear more about."
  23. Oct 28 18:28:53 <Knox> He follows her.
  24. Oct 28 18:36:53 <Lecia> She talks as she walks! "Alright, what you wanna do is meet a version of yourself that doesn't have Aether's meddling in it. Only way you can do that is to go to the Dream World, and this is the best way there! Try to end up near Mother Swanna, cause she's the best person to make that happen. As for what might actually happen as a result of that...well, I imagine that depends on how
  25. Oct 28 18:36:53 <Lecia> the meeting actually goes. Med fused with herself, but she's been the only person I've tested it with, so I can't say what might really happen for sure." She makes her way INSIDE THE MACHINE. "In any case, I'm sure that whatever happens will be beneficial, in one way or another!"
  26. Oct 28 18:38:48 <Knox> "I thought as much." he hms and does whatever he's instructed. That's more or less what he expected to hear
  27. Oct 28 18:39:13 <Knox> He has more personal thoughts about Med's bit since he was there, but he decides to hold those in for the sake of expendiency.
  28. Oct 28 18:40:55 <Aori_Radidjiu> whatever the case, Knox (and Lecia, if she's joining, in which case Gran's operating the thing) straps themselves in on the DREAM BED, along with any Pokemon they wanna' take with (this machine can get past the IMAGINATION LIMITATION that normal dreaming has, at least with Pokemon materialization, by having you fall asleep wtih your pokemon and creating dream clones of them) and
  29. Oct 28 18:40:55 <Aori_Radidjiu> you're exposed to the dream smoke (and some other stuff to help you sleep) before you drift...off...
  30. Oct 28 18:42:04 <Lecia> Lecia decides that she could use some sleep! Gran's maintaining it, and Granzon can direct them to the machine if need be, it knows what's going on. She might not interfere, but hey, she's pretty sure she was interrupted last time.
  31. Oct 28 18:43:03 <Aori_Radidjiu> YOu...dewaken? to a grass meadow, outside of a building that looks a bit like a cathedral from the outside.
  32. Oct 28 18:43:18 <Aori_Radidjiu> ...or maybe it's a castle? Sometimes it looks like one, sometimes it looks like another.
  33. Oct 28 18:44:23 <Aori_Radidjiu> Lecia shows up as well!
  34. Oct 28 18:44:38 <Knox> "Is this the same place we did Med's thing in?"
  35. Oct 28 18:44:59 <Knox> "Granted, it's not upside down."
  36. Oct 28 18:46:08 <Knox> Without really waiting for an answer, he begins to approach the structure.
  37. Oct 28 18:47:08 <Lecia> She follows! "Pretty much. The Dream World isn't always the same, but this is definitely a lot more normal than it was before."
  38. Oct 28 18:50:40 <Aori_Radidjiu> Inside you find...it's like a church, what with the aisles and pews and stained glass windows ont he side, but instead of there being an altar, there's a tea table, with the back wall...not being a wall, just open to a large garden with a variety of plants, sunlight streaming through the opening...this garden doesn't quite gel with what outside was like, it's much more overgrown,
  39. Oct 28 18:50:40 <Aori_Radidjiu> and a bit...wetter. At the tea table are a woman with white hair and a Ducklett, sitting opposite each other, both with a tea cup in front of them, and a tea kettle in the middle of the table. The woman looks roughly like http://i.imgur.com/TFqjPn6.jpg but with plenty of black stripes in her hair.
  40. Oct 28 18:52:35 <Knox> He walks straight down the aisle to approach them. "Mother Swanna, I presume?"
  41. Oct 28 18:55:49 <Aori_Radidjiu> She takes her teacup to her mouth and takes a sip, in the meantime the Ducklett chiming in with a rather abrasive voice. "That's right, the one and only! Better pay respect, little man!" Swanna sets down her cup, swallowing, her mouth slowly forming a broad smile, followed by her giving a slight giggle, before turning to you and looking at you with her deep, deep blue eyes. "Yes,
  42. Oct 28 18:55:49 <Aori_Radidjiu> that is I. I imagine you're here for business, seeing as Lecia brought you, yes?"
  43. Oct 28 18:57:32 <Lecia> Lecia opts to hang back from the conversation for the most part. He seems perfectly capable of asking his own favors! No need to baby him through this or anything. If it's possible to get tea for herself, she gets on that!
  44. Oct 28 18:58:38 <Aori_Radidjiu> There are more teacups set up, so you can go right ahead. It seems to be some kind of chai mixed with milk. There's a glass full of ice cubes with tongs for you to grab them, in case you prefer the drink cold.
  45. Oct 28 18:59:02 <Lecia> Of course it has to be hot. HOT LIKE HER BLOOD.
  46. Oct 28 18:59:54 <Aori_Radidjiu> Masala Chai, for those of you who are more pedantic about your tea.
  47. Oct 28 19:01:10 <Knox> He doesn't pay the Ducklett much mind for now. "That's right. " He hasn't been invited to sit and enjoy tea, so he doesn't. He's rude but not that rude. "Team Aether has taken too much from me... I'd like to see face to face who I am when they never became involved."
  48. Oct 28 19:04:50 <Knox> He glances at the Ducklett again a moment, wondering if this is the same one he saw get lit on fire before.
  49. Oct 28 19:04:59 <Aori_Radidjiu> Siiiip. She sets her teacup down. "A trip to the archives to see the closest version of you there is, then? All right. Do let your friend Melanie know that you can ask to get a read-only copy of one of her archives if she truly wants to meet herself, I can't let her in the library, you see." She stands up from her chair in a perfectly fluid motion, pushing in her chair and
  50. Oct 28 19:04:59 <Aori_Radidjiu> walking over to where the priest would do preparations if this were a church, a small cubic room from the outside, but once she opens the door, it's to a library larger than the room you're in right now.
  51. Oct 28 19:05:17 <Aori_Radidjiu> The ducklett even has burn marks where it got burnt up, so it's definitely the same one.
  52. Oct 28 19:05:47 <Knox> "I'll be sure to." he follows her out.
  53. Oct 28 19:08:03 <Knox> "What does it mean when you say 'the closest version of me there is'? We're not necessarily talking about the Nicholas Knight that existed before the rewrite then, are we?"
  54. Oct 28 19:10:35 <Aori_Radidjiu> The library you're in is mostly a crimson color, with golden flourishes, and so huge that it's hard to say whether there's a ceiling or that's the blood red sky of a sunset. Books of all sorts of colors litter shelves that go higher than you can see, and are arranged in aisles that span further than you can see. Swanna looks around, her eyes sharp, as she responds. "The exact
  55. Oct 28 19:10:35 <Aori_Radidjiu> record of what you were before the rewrite was essentially destroyed and cast off to the nightmare, but using information we have in your world book that describes some scant information from before the rewrite, we can piece together a rather accurate approximation. You understand?
  56. Oct 28 19:10:42 <Aori_Radidjiu> "
  57. Oct 28 19:11:47 <Knox> He nods. "I think I do."
  58. Oct 28 19:16:03 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Hmmmmmm...ah." She snaps her fingers, and all the books blur, resorting themselves. You can see on the bookshelves near you that they all have titles similar to "Akashic Biography of Nicholas Knight", with some kind of bizarre code on all of them that incorporates a few characters you know, and some from alphabets you've never seen or imagined. Swanna picks a particular one near
  59. Oct 28 19:16:03 <Aori_Radidjiu> you. "This one seems to be correct, let's see..." She flips through it a bit, seeming to be looking for a particular page, and eventually turns to it, nodding. "If you wish to meet this Nicholas, I will allow you to." She raises her voice so Lecia can hear outside. "Lecia, this may be of interest for you, so I advise that you spectate this meeting."
  60. Oct 28 19:16:43 <Knox> "I'm ready, then."
  61. Oct 28 19:16:44 <Lecia> "Alright!" She'll have her tea and watch, then!
  62. Oct 28 19:17:55 <Aori_Radidjiu> She tosses the book on the ground, it landing with a thump, and then it stretching, growing larger, eventually absorbing itself into the ground and expanding, surrounding the two of you, as colors and shapes begin to fill in...
  63. Oct 28 19:18:41 <Aori_Radidjiu> You're in Conch City, outside a coffeehouse by an intersection. Lecia is at one of the coffeehouse's outdoor tables, her drink still there, although now in a disposable cup.
  64. Oct 28 19:20:33 <Aori_Radidjiu> Knox is on the sidewalk, still standing, with a good view over the intersection. There are people crossing the streets, occasional cars passing, and there's the sound of people talking with each other as they walk around. Pretty typical Conch, really. Diagonal from you two, across the intersection, is a rather large building, a certain "Meowth Moneyhandling", looking to be some
  65. Oct 28 19:20:33 <Aori_Radidjiu> kind of bank.
  66. Oct 28 19:21:36 <Aori_Radidjiu> It seems to be early evening, the sky darkened but not black, the moon visible but not high, waning gibbous.
  67. Oct 28 19:22:35 <Aori_Radidjiu> The other buildings in the area seem to be...mostly nondescript. In fact, they're fuzzy, as if they're not really supposed to be here, extras, out of focus.
  68. Oct 28 19:22:58 <Knox> He looks around a bit, somewhat confused at the setting. Being back in Conch threw him off-guard a bit. And they're... at a coffee shop? And what's with this weird bank? ...It does seem to be the place to go, though.
  69. Oct 28 19:23:13 <Knox> He shrugs and walks across the intersection towards the bank.
  70. Oct 28 19:27:19 <Lecia> ...She's supposed to be spectating, so since there's not too much drink left, she follows him once the disposable cup is disposed in the proper place!
  71. Oct 28 19:29:27 <Aori_Radidjiu> As you step onto the asphalt of the street, a ringing noise resounds from the bank, many people in the crowd quickly moving away from it. A car rushes up next to the bank, and a number of darker skinned men, likely native islanders, in masks, rush out, straight for their getaway vehicle, which is making some rather exaggerated engine thrumming ot discourage anyone from getting near
  72. Oct 28 19:29:27 <Aori_Radidjiu> it. The street becomes silent besides the alarm from outside...until a burst of footsteps, running footsteps, come from behind you, two people in matching black trenchcoats rushing towards the vehicle, both drawing guns and pointing them at the men in masks and the car itself. "MARINES, Detectives Knight and Cumulus, put the goods down!" Now that you have a clear view of them,
  73. Oct 28 19:29:27 <Aori_Radidjiu> the one speaking is a young man http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=545923 and the one by his side is a blonde-haired woman.
  74. Oct 28 19:30:23 <Knox> He snorts. "Well this figures, doesn't it."
  75. Oct 28 19:30:36 <Knox> He decides to watch.
  76. Oct 28 19:31:31 <Knox> Though that strikes him funny. Cumulus?
  77. Oct 28 19:31:54 <Knox> Well, different world, different name. It does make sense.
  78. Oct 28 19:35:46 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Or what?" One of the men in masks replies, tossing down a pokeball. "Or we kick your asses." "PFFFFFFFFFFFFFFT" Goes one of the masked men, his pokeball opening to reveal a Kabutops, right as both detectives fire. Whatever these two are firing, ti's not the old kinetic guns in movies. Both the man in the mask and his pokemon are hit with a projectile...the same one? It seems
  79. Oct 28 19:35:46 <Aori_Radidjiu> to have bounced, leaving little darts in both of them. A pair of other men in masks get hit by a bouncing projectile. Before the group of crooks can respond, the darts left in them make a buzzing noise, their bodies shuddering and all of them falling over. The last one left outside of the car, not hit by one of the tazing rounds, makes a break for the car, yelling "let me in let
  80. Oct 28 19:35:46 <Aori_Radidjiu> me in GO GO G-" before falling over asleep,a cloud of gas coming from the car, before a Vileplume hops out the window. Detective Knight nods to the Vileplume. "Good one, Noxious."
  81. Oct 28 19:38:14 <Aori_Radidjiu> Detective Cumulus initiates a high five with Detective Knight. "Good one, Nick." "Not bad yourself, Jazz."
  82. Oct 28 19:39:13 <Knox> He continues to watch, looking for a good opening to approach. One would think he'd be livid to find out he's a cop here, but... there's a bit of a smirk on his face. He's amused by it.
  83. Oct 28 19:42:09 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Take 'em down to the local feds, Jazz, Noxious and I are gonna' get a drink." Jasmine nods. "Got it, but only if you file the report to Amisa later!" Nick scratches the back of his head. "Well, whatever." Jazz gives him a peck on the lips and starts calling someone on her cell phone, as Detective Knight and Noxious head for the coffeehouse.
  84. Oct 28 19:43:22 <Knox> He stalks them back to the coffeeshop, waiting until they have a seat, before he calls over. "Detective Knight, if I could have a word with you."
  85. Oct 28 19:44:25 <Aori_Radidjiu> The second you address him, all sound in the area stops. All the people in the area besides you, Lecia, Detective Knight, and Noxious disappear, leaving the intersection barren. He looks up at you from the table. "Yeah?"
  86. Oct 28 19:46:30 <Knox> "I have to say, Jasmine looks pretty cute like that." he has a seat at the table. "It's not a bad look for me either, but whatever. You don't seem surprised so I imagine you have some idea what's going on here."
  87. Oct 28 19:47:50 <Aori_Radidjiu> "There's not paying attention to things, and then there's unimportant shit outright looking fuzzy. This isn't natural. What is this, who are you exactly?"
  88. Oct 28 19:51:19 <Knox> "This?" he gestures around. "It's a dream. Well, not yours, Nick. Unfortunately, you -are- the dream. And me? Well, I'm you. Or maybe I would have been. Hard to say exactly what separates you from me, but tell me if this sounds familiar: A young man, disillusioned with his drunk-ass father packs up and leaves Unova for Wakino, looking for something better. And there, by chance, he
  89. Oct 28 19:51:19 <Knox> meets a young woman who helps him shape the rest of his life."
  90. Oct 28 19:52:45 <Aori_Radidjiu> He nods. "I get you." He pulls out a cigarette, lights it, and takes a drag. "I'd say that was the turning point of my life, the time Noxious and I exposed dad for the shitlord he was and moved out, went to the academy, met Jazz."
  91. Oct 28 19:56:08 <Aori_Radidjiu> Noxious has gotten himself in a seat facing you, the seat a bit big for the little thing.
  92. Oct 28 19:56:46 <Knox> "The 'general' details are the same, but the details are different for us." He pulls out a pokeball and lets out Spectrum. "I didn't do shit to expose Dad. I just let him and the system that supported him rot. I own a Gloom, but his name isn't Noxious - it's Clarion. And I didn't get him until coming to Wakino. This is Spectrum. Furthermore... the Jasmine I met was the leader of a
  93. Oct 28 19:56:46 <Knox> ragtag group of pirates. You get it? I'm you, but I'm different." He lets that sink in. "But apparently I'm -supposed- to be you."
  94. Oct 28 19:59:05 <Aori_Radidjiu> He pulls out another cigarette and hands it to you. "On the house. Can't ditch the habit, don't know about you. I know Spectrum, I have him too. I'm surprised you don't know Noxious though, we grew up together. Mom got him as a pet when I was little and we decided to become the best troublemakers together, Noxious and Nick, the stinky duo, as kids used to call us."
  95. Oct 28 20:00:38 <Aori_Radidjiu> Noxious grins really wide as Nick recounts their story.
  96. Oct 28 20:03:14 <Knox> He looks at the cigarette with a bit of annoyance. Not at his other self, but at something else. "Used to, but doesn't do anything for me anymore." Though he ends up lighting it anyway and taking a drag. He looks up. "My story is different. Mom left the household when I was young. I wouldn't have remembered him. Me? I was that kid no one wanted anything to do with. And for a time,
  97. Oct 28 20:03:14 <Knox> I preferred it that way. Funny enough, as a pirate, I earned the nickname 'Noxious Nick', myself. But that's a different story." His face seriouses up. "The differences between us... I'm not sure how far back it goes... but it's the fault of a criminal group called Team Aether."
  98. Oct 28 20:04:25 <Aori_Radidjiu> He exhales some smoke. "Team Aether huh. I guess we're not so different, I'm fighting them as part of the MARINES initiative."
  99. Oct 28 20:07:33 <Knox> "And now I'm doing the same as part of PIRATES. That's a formal anti-pirate organization, ironically. I'll get into why in a moment. Take it for what you will, but at some point these geniuses discovered a way to rewrite the core of our reality. They changed a bunch of shit, some on purpose, fucktons else on accident. From what I understand, they didn't have access for long, but
  100. Oct 28 20:07:33 <Knox> plenty went to shit. Personally, I'm not going to say I don't prefer my life of crime, but at least as a thief I didn't fucking toy with people's lives. Our crew, the Conch City Carvanhas, worked for Aether for a time - we didn't really know their team name or the scope of their influence, but we would do jobs for them from time to time. Eventually, though, Jasmine realized we had
  101. Oct 28 20:07:33 <Knox> gotten into some seriously deep shit and our crew decided to bail out."
  102. Oct 28 20:07:41 <Knox> "And they decided they wouldn't have any of that."
  103. Oct 28 20:09:06 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Wouldn't be the first time I heard that kind of story..." He takes a look at Lecia. "Looks like you've got Alyssa helping you out too, though her fashion sense isn't the same. Hrm."
  104. Oct 28 20:09:26 <Knox> "She's 'Lecia' to us, and the reason I'm talking to you right now."
  105. Oct 28 20:09:54 <Knox> "Alyssa, though." he thinks back to the other Lecia they saw.
  106. Oct 28 20:10:04 <Knox> "...I see..."
  107. Oct 28 20:10:07 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Hm, really. That's interesting, Alyssa doesn't know shit about dreams, they're kind of out of her scope."
  108. Oct 28 20:10:13 <Knox> "Robots?"
  109. Oct 28 20:10:22 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Oh man, she loves 'em."
  110. Oct 28 20:10:26 <Lecia> Ah, rats, she was noticed. "This strangeness wouldn't be occuring if I hadn't gotten him there...ooooh."
  111. Oct 28 20:10:43 <Knox> "See, the funny thing is, Lecia isn't from our world either."
  112. Oct 28 20:10:44 <Aori_Radidjiu> He taps his gun. "She made the Boltguns that Jazz and I use."
  113. Oct 28 20:10:52 <Knox> "And I'm pretty sure that Alyssa is now working for Team Aether."
  114. Oct 28 20:11:24 <Knox> He eyes the guns. "And if that's true, we're gonna have to watch the fuck out."
  115. Oct 28 20:11:39 <Aori_Radidjiu> "...so you have both her AND Alyssa? On different sides? That sounds painful for both sides."
  116. Oct 28 20:11:55 <Knox> "I'm not entirely sure how much Alyssa knows."
  117. Oct 28 20:12:15 <Knox> "Anyway."
  118. Oct 28 20:12:16 <Lecia> "It'd be more painful for Aether if the feds let me do more things." She pouts a little.
  119. Oct 28 20:12:40 <Aori_Radidjiu> "That sounds familiar." He chuckles.
  120. Oct 28 20:12:53 <Knox> "What caused me from being a pirate to joining PIRATES... was the day Aether ambushed us."
  121. Oct 28 20:13:14 <Aori_Radidjiu> He takes a drag, nodding.
  122. Oct 28 20:18:21 <Knox> "Our entire crew. ...Fuck, I don't know if you know some of them or not, this may or may not have meaning for you. Jasmine, me, August, Selene, Kimiko, Fujiko, 'Lunch', Ethan, Audrey, 'Needles', Robin and Hacket... that was our group. And in just a few moments everything was over. They stabbed Jasmine and started capturing everyone else. Selene and Kimi were lucky enough to get away.
  123. Oct 28 20:18:21 <Knox> Others weren't. Even now I don't know what happened to all of them, least of all Jasmine. She may be dead... or worse. Aether's shown a nasty habit of turning my old crew mates against me through various hamfisted mindcontrol... Even August, a guy I practically considered my best friend... didn't recognize me when we encountered each other." he looks to the side. "And now he's dead,
  124. Oct 28 20:18:21 <Knox> because they implanted a fucking bomb in his head. You get it, don't you?" he turns to look at the detective. "They've taken everything from me. I'm clawing for every bit I can get, and I managed to rescue Robin from them, but it's not fucking enough. Because I wasn't prepared, a friend of mine died. If I don't shape up, Jasmine might suffer the same fate if she's still alive."
  125. Oct 28 20:18:46 <Knox> Oh, somewhere in there he inserts that he got away using his 'powers'
  126. Oct 28 20:19:00 <Knox> And will clarify if the detective has a question about that.
  127. Oct 28 20:19:18 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Powers? Sounds like you're special, tell me about that."
  128. Oct 28 20:21:03 <Knox> "I said it before, I earned the name Noxious Nick. It got shortened to Knox, and that's what I go by now. I have mastery over poison. Including to the degree that toxins don't do shit to me." he snubs the cigarette. "Which means nicotine, too, obviously. Acid, ooze, smoke, chemicals, that's my powers."
  129. Oct 28 20:22:33 <Knox> "I also studied unown between the time of the ambush and joining PIRATES, so I've got that kind of power too. Otherwise, my skills learn towards coordinated maneuvers in combat and ambush tactics."
  130. Oct 28 20:23:26 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Hmmm, I don't got any of that fancy magical psionic stuff. I just got Noxious and my Pokemon for that. I'm all about the manueuvers and ambush tactics, though, you just saw how I got those guys from two sides, right?
  131. Oct 28 20:23:27 <Aori_Radidjiu> "
  132. Oct 28 20:23:53 <Knox> He nods.
  133. Oct 28 20:25:29 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Yeah. Can't say I'm not jealous, though, Alyssa was saying she was making special bolt guns that can focus psionic abilities or whatever, I'm just stuck with the standard ones."
  134. Oct 28 20:26:38 <Knox> 'I don't know -why- I have these abilities exactly. They just started manifesting after I came to Wakino. Whatever, shit happens. You add different variables, sometimes you get results you didn't expect."
  135. Oct 28 20:27:16 <Aori_Radidjiu> "It sounds like instead of getting Noxious, you got Poison stuff. I guess you're not just me then, you're both of us. Kind of weird, might explain why our hair and eyes are a bit different."
  136. Oct 28 20:27:41 <Knox> "I was wondering if you dyed it. ...But come to think of it, your eyes are different too."
  137. Oct 28 20:28:49 <Aori_Radidjiu> Noxious kicks his feet up and down happily in his chair.
  138. Oct 28 20:29:20 <Knox> He studies the vileplume a moment. "...I just bought something pretty expensive, so I don't exactly have enough money for a leaf stone, but I was considering it for Clarion..."
  139. Oct 28 20:29:24 <Knox> "Anyway."
  140. Oct 28 20:30:27 <Knox> "You should be able to puzzle out some of the things I said before to figure out your own situation."
  141. Oct 28 20:31:17 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I'm from some altered world, eh? I guess they were scared of me and Noxious, so tried to screw us up by slamming us together. Not an elegant solution, I'd say."
  142. Oct 28 20:32:12 <Aori_Radidjiu> "...or I should say, they altered my world to make yours. Whatever."
  143. Oct 28 20:35:56 <Lecia> "Thankfully, it won't get any worse. They can't get their hands on the big stuff anymore~"
  144. Oct 28 20:38:35 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Good to hear. So, anything else you need?"
  145. Oct 28 20:39:05 <Knox> "It could be on purpose, or it could be something that happened incidentally. Fuck if I know. That's basically right. I was never any sort of hero who exposed a corrupt cop and went to a fancy police academy. I never had Mom there to support me. I was never popular. So you have to understand what that means when I say that the Conch City Carvanhas were the only goddamn friends and
  146. Oct 28 20:39:05 <Knox> family I -ever- had. And they took them away from me. They took everything I had. You? They took away even more. Jasmine... I wasn't straight up dating her like you, but... we were still close. And they took her - may have even killed her, and I don't know. I may not can even save her if I did know. You realize how painful that is, right? ...I'm not going to beg, but... I need help."
  147. Oct 28 20:40:47 <Knox> "You and Noxious may be the only ones who can give me the push I need."
  148. Oct 28 20:42:11 <Aori_Radidjiu> He stands up, tossing down his cigarette and stomping on it to put it out. He cracks his neck. "All right. I guess I could try and lend a bit of me and Noxious to you...but y'know, I'm not giving it out for free." He puts his hand on his holstered gun. "I'm kind of curious how you fight, what with not being at the academy and all. Let's have a duel. You don't have to beat me,
  149. Oct 28 20:42:11 <Aori_Radidjiu> but I want to test your strength. Then I'll help you. Deal?" He holds out a hand.
  150. Oct 28 20:42:55 <Knox> He stands up and takes it without question, looking him straight in the eye. "I came here expecting something like that. Glad to know I don't disappoint."
  151. Oct 28 20:46:28 <Aori_Radidjiu> He returns Noxious and stares you down for a distance. "How many Pokemon you wanna' use? I was thinking 3, but I can handle 6."
  152. Oct 28 20:47:00 <Knox> "I can handle six, too, but three is fine. We don't need to drag this out."

  158. Oct 28 20:48:48 <Knox> He makes a stand some ways off from his doppleganger, studying him, and thinking carefully about his pokemon choice.
  159. Oct 28 20:50:07 <Knox> And then after a moment he just lets out Tenebrae. Leading in with a symbol of victory over Team Aether means something for himself, even though it doesn't mean much for Nick.
  160. Oct 28 20:50:49 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Neat." He tosses out Nemesis. "Shall we, then?"

  173. Oct 28 20:56:09 <Knox> He throws out his hand, materializing his Knox Buster, then circles around, aiming it at Nemesis, before letting out a BLOP of water!

  198. Oct 28 21:05:12 <Aori_Radidjiu> He nods. "That's right. Oh well, good girl, come back." She's returned, replaced with...

  206. Oct 28 21:07:40 <Aori_Radidjiu> Still got a shift and a swift, doin' anything?
  207. Oct 28 21:08:18 <Knox> Not much he can do with a swift, so he moves to melee range with Nick.
  208. Oct 28 21:08:28 <Aori_Radidjiu> Nick!
  209. Oct 28 21:08:45 <Aori_Radidjiu> He backs up a bit (2 squares), seems he can't shoot well close up.

  231. Oct 28 21:13:47 <Knox> "It... burns..." he mentions, knowing full well that Lucero is capable of this, but he isn't a masochist so he never -did- it exactly. The look that comes over his face is sort of creepy, though. "It actually burns..."
  232. Oct 28 21:14:51 <Knox> He lets out a certain Probopass in the meantime. "Frequency!" She pops out next to the seahorse!

  240. Oct 28 21:17:34 <Knox> He outstretches his hand and a rune circle draws into place before several unown eyes seem to open with in it, streaming out energy at Lucero!

  301. Oct 28 21:33:17 <Knox> She's out of targeting system, but she can still materialize rocks on this guy's head!

  310. Oct 28 21:34:39 <Knox> Knox erupts into a series of poison blows that easily wakes Nick up. It's like being punched in the face by a Muk again and again as his fists become less than substantial.

  315. Oct 28 21:35:13 <Aori_Radidjiu> Considering his hold on you was loose due to being asleep, that pops him right off you. "Fuck fuck fuck!"
  316. Oct 28 21:35:28 <Knox> He grins.
  317. Oct 28 21:35:55 * Knox takes another -20
  318. Oct 28 21:36:26 <Aori_Radidjiu> He's injured, there's some poison burns on him that look pretty nasty. "All right, let's do this."

  323. Oct 28 21:37:11 <Aori_Radidjiu> He immediately spends his swift action with "BURST!"

  330. Oct 28 21:38:08 <Aori_Radidjiu> A burst of electricity goes through Frequency
  331. Oct 28 21:38:22 <Knox> Not much damage to the strong probopass indeed.
  332. Oct 28 21:38:43 <Aori_Radidjiu> "You know what to do Lucero, blast 'em away!"

  336. Oct 28 21:38:58 <Knox> She isn't falling for that one again! Her mustache is at risk!
  337. Oct 28 21:39:15 <Aori_Radidjiu> Miss. Frequency!
  338. Oct 28 21:42:13 <Knox> 1d20+1 Let's try another Earth Power! Knox spends an AP on her behalf.
  339. Oct 28 21:42:13 <PsychoRoll> Knox, Let's try another Earth Power! Knox spends an AP on her behalf.: 6 [1d20=5]
  340. Oct 28 21:42:47 <Aori_Radidjiu> Miss. Lucero manages to block it!
  341. Oct 28 21:43:01 <Aori_Radidjiu> New round! Knox!
  342. Oct 28 21:43:40 <Knox> He's gotta hurry this up or he's going down for sure. He spins around and unleashes an AoE Hidden Power to hit both Lucero and Nick. "Open Cerebral Gate!"
  343. Oct 28 21:43:44 <Knox> 1d20+2
  344. Oct 28 21:43:44 <PsychoRoll> Knox, 1d20+2: 22 [1d20=20]

  349. Oct 28 21:44:24 <Knox> A rune circle appears above his head and opens into ONE BIG EYE that lets out a stream of purple lasers!
  350. Oct 28 21:44:57 * Knox takes 40
  351. Oct 28 21:45:07 <Aori_Radidjiu> Nick...is barely up. "Well, shit." He switches in Lucero for NOXIOUS
  352. Oct 28 21:45:09 * Knox is definitely injured now, and another round of Toxic will do it.
  353. Oct 28 21:45:19 <Aori_Radidjiu> And...is Frequency in Melee range?
  354. Oct 28 21:45:23 <Knox> Yep.
  355. Oct 28 21:45:29 <Aori_Radidjiu> Cool
  356. Oct 28 21:45:37 * Aori_Radidjiu has changed the topic to: Knox > Nick > Noxious > Frequency
  357. Oct 28 21:45:47 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Let's take you down now!"

  373. Oct 28 21:48:59 <Aori_Radidjiu> NOxious sends out a bunch of spores to trigger HAY FEVER, but it doesn't seem to do anything to you!
  374. Oct 28 21:49:01 <Knox> "I know I'm gonna go down, but... fuck if I'm going like a chump!" Out comes Spectrum! Fangs was probably a better choice, but Spectrum means a lot more in this case.

  410. Oct 28 21:55:44 <Knox> 1/10th HP to Noxious and flinched
  411. Oct 28 21:56:13 <Knox> and then Knox... drops to his knees, slamming his fist into the ground as he takes 80 damage from Toxic. It's enough to render him unconscious. He tries to fight if for a moment... then slumps.
  412. Oct 28 21:56:19 <Aori_Radidjiu> Arright. That INJURES Noxious, but doesn't KO him. HOwever.
  413. Oct 28 21:56:48 <Aori_Radidjiu> Nick tries to hold himself together....and then can't, falling over in almost perfect time with Knox. DOUBLE KO
  414. Oct 28 21:58:19 <Aori_Radidjiu> Noxious shrugs. Nick tries to push himself up. "Ugh...I guess we really are about even, huh?"
  415. Oct 28 21:59:21 <Aori_Radidjiu> "You really are me...after all."
  416. Oct 28 21:59:42 <Knox> He manages to roll on his side and coughs a laugh. "Seems that way... But that's why Team Aether's fucked, right? What can they do to both of us? You -are- me, and that's why they don't have a goddamned chance in hell."
  417. Oct 28 22:02:54 <Aori_Radidjiu> He grabs onto your hand. "You've got me." Noxious grabs your other hand and nods.
  418. Oct 28 22:03:12 <Knox> He gives them a nod.
  419. Oct 28 22:04:11 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Considering I'm not the real Nick of the world I represent anyway, I don't see why I can't just join with ya'. Me and Noxious both. We'll be supporting you from now on."
  420. Oct 28 22:04:56 <Knox> "You're what was supposed to be... potentialities. You're just as real as I am, even if you're a reconstruction."
  421. Oct 28 22:05:09 <Knox> "Let's kick their asses."
  422. Oct 28 22:05:18 <Knox> *I
  423. Oct 28 22:08:26 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Hyep. Nice meeting you." They both turn into a haze, and the area around you all blurs up. whatever's left of them washes over you as you return to the library, feeling perfectly spick and span. New EX Class gained! Noxious (&) Nick!
