  1. 13:06:03 <Aori_Radidjiu> Friday, May 28th, 6 PM. Everything's been prepared for Med (and Siet, and Mel and Knox if she lets them in, although they certainly can WATCH from outside due to THINGS) to enter the Dream World. Lecia had some BUSINESS to attend to (rather official, actually) so Gran is handling the process. Gran led the four of you deep into the depths of Lecia's lab, past various security doors
  2. Mar 29 13:06:03 <Aori_Radidjiu> and checks, deep, deep down into a mostly white room, with a set of beds with some machinery set up on each bed, and a computer control system for all of them. "These are the beds for entering the dream world. We will be releasing concentrated dream smoke to induce lucid entrance into the dream world, along with subliminal imagery sent to your eyes to ensure you all end up in the same
  3. Mar 29 13:06:03 <Aori_Radidjiu> spot. That is Phase One of this operation."
  4. Mar 29 13:09:01 <Med> the 28th?
  5. Mar 29 13:09:04 <Med> isn't it the 29th?
  6. Mar 29 13:10:06 <Aori_Radidjiu> ...it might be the 29th
  7. Mar 29 13:10:11 <Aori_Radidjiu> shit I'm getting my date's mixed up
  8. Mar 29 13:10:18 <Aori_Radidjiu> *dates
  9. Mar 29 13:10:20 <Med> i say this 'cause my training spreadsheet is dated >_>
  10. Mar 29 13:11:38 <Aori_Radidjiu> Ah, yes, okay, I misremembered how things worked out. You guys left on the 27th, and arrived here on the 29th. I thought you'd left on the 26th and arrived on the 28th because MEMORY A SHIT
  11. Mar 29 13:11:43 <Aori_Radidjiu> So
  12. Mar 29 13:11:50 <Aori_Radidjiu> SATURDAY, MAY 29TH, 6 PM
  13. Mar 29 13:11:55 * Med doesn't invite them in. She steals the entire session for herself, just as keikaku. Mwahahaha.
  14. Mar 29 13:12:15 * Med that was a joke
  15. Mar 29 13:12:53 <Aori_Radidjiu> (Keikaku intensifies)
  16. Mar 29 13:16:13 * Knox seems calm enough about this whole thing.
  17. Mar 29 13:16:32 <Aori_Radidjiu> '"Questions before I explain Phase Two?"
  18. Mar 29 13:17:48 <Knox> "Not really."
  19. Mar 29 13:17:53 <Melons> "D-Does it hurt?"
  20. Mar 29 13:17:58 * Med has done it before, so she's pretty casual about it all. She just sorta gets ready for bed, undressing (literally, she was wearing a dress, get it), and cuddling up in bed with her mons.
  21. Mar 29 13:18:32 <Med> With her more cuddly mons. She's down with hugging a Knives, but sleeping with blades is a safety hazard. :<
  22. Mar 29 13:18:36 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I do not believe so, but Med there has been through it before, so she could answer that."
  23. Mar 29 13:18:56 <Med> "I don't remember pain, but... I don't remember being able to feel pain that well anyway, either, so~"
  24. Mar 29 13:20:52 <Melons> "Okay..." Mel nervously crawls into a bed before looking over at Med. "...should I have my pokemon out too?"
  25. Mar 29 13:20:59 <Aori_Radidjiu> "You may.
  26. Mar 29 13:21:00 <Aori_Radidjiu> "
  27. Mar 29 13:21:15 <Melons> Ghostsplosion. And a bat.
  28. Mar 29 13:21:47 <Melons> Which for reference includes Sleight, Koa, Shadeling, Brigitte (the Nohface), Batso, and Hallow (the Phantump).
  29. Mar 29 13:23:58 <Aori_Radidjiu> "As a note, the dream world for Pokemon and Humans is different, so you won't be bringing over your exact pokemon over, more like you'll be bringing your mental image of your Pokemon with you. They'll have...somewhat similar dreams due to the subliminal images, but it won't actually be your Pokemon there."
  30. Mar 29 13:25:01 * Melons nods. "Alright...I think I'm ready then."
  31. Mar 29 13:26:55 * Knox gets in too, just kicking off his shoes and flopping casually onto his.
  32. Mar 29 13:27:28 <Aori_Radidjiu> Siet examines the bed a bit before shrugging and TUCKING IN
  33. Mar 29 13:28:01 * Melons has totally covered her meguca outfit back up with their PIRATES uniform and is pretty overdressed for bed.
  34. Mar 29 13:31:59 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Before I put you all to sleep, I'll explain Phase Two." Gran is over at the controls, his eyes unblinking at you all. "Mistress Lecia has postulated that Med's darker self could be separated from her by using a process similar to an exorcism. It's not exact science, but the Dream World is a fuzzy area anyway. Siet will perform an exorcism on Med to separate her two halves. Do you
  35. Mar 29 13:31:59 <Aori_Radidjiu> believe this might be sufficient, Siet?" Siet, sitting on his bed, shrugs before responding. "Exorcism is all about ideological concepts anyway, so I can see it working the way you've explained it, yes."
  36. Mar 29 13:35:31 <Aori_Radidjiu> "With that all explained, I believe it is time to begin."
  37. Mar 29 13:36:36 * Med is totes ready to sleep it up.
  38. Mar 29 13:36:55 * Melons doesn't look at all relaxed despite being in bed, but she's as ready as melons get.
  39. Mar 29 13:40:31 <Knox> "Ready."
  40. Mar 29 13:40:43 * Knox just lays back and relaxes, no sweat.
  41. Mar 29 13:41:12 <Aori_Radidjiu> He pushes a button, bringing up a glass case around all your beds. Not narrowly, you have some room to move and it's not especially claustrophobic or anything, but you're enclosed nonetheless. Then a TV pops out of the side of the bed and is pushed up by a cranething to be in front of your faces, showing a bunch of images (too fast for you to remember anything or make them out, but
  42. Mar 29 13:41:12 <Aori_Radidjiu> none of them are anything stressful) as a purple haze begins to flood the inside of the glass case...
  43. Mar 29 13:41:22 <Aori_Radidjiu> ...
  44. Mar 29 13:41:38 <Aori_Radidjiu> Zzzzzzz...
  45. Mar 29 13:42:58 * Med zzz
  46. Mar 29 13:44:18 <Knox> zzzz
  47. Mar 29 13:49:26 <Aori_Radidjiu> You're all in some building, floor and walls all colored a somber grey, with pews lined up in front of you...going on to the wall in front of you...then onto the ceiling...and then there's an altar right above your heads. On the sides there are stained glass windows, one showing a young man that's not familiar to any of you, another showing a girl, looking in a mirror at a black-skinned
  48. Mar 29 13:49:26 <Aori_Radidjiu> reflection of her, both with red eyes, and there are others, of course. There are regularly placed candles on the sides of each row of pews, even the ones on the wall and the ceiling (somehow no wax is dripping on you guys). There is imagery from various religions on the walls, crosses, daoist yinyang symbols, buddhist mantras, occasional statues of men and women who all seem to embody
  49. Mar 29 13:49:27 <Aori_Radidjiu> ideals...and there's a fresco under your feet, circular, of tons of hands of various tones and sizes, all reaching for a light in the middle.
  50. Mar 29 13:51:23 * Melons quickly looks around to ensure there are no nightmare children. "This...this is not at all what I had expected..."
  51. Mar 29 13:53:55 <Knox> "Talk about multicultural." he murmurs, looking around, before walking forward.
  52. Mar 29 13:56:19 <Knox> He pauses near the middle of the fresco, looking down at the light, and then looking up at the altar.
  53. Mar 29 13:59:05 <Aori_Radidjiu> (sorry, distraction, more aowalls coming~)
  54. Mar 29 13:59:11 <Knox> He looks over at Mel. "What, an inverted church? Seems appropriate if she's a demon."
  55. Mar 29 13:59:58 <Med> "Well... plus... I don't think it's just my dreamworld."
  56. Mar 29 14:00:23 <Aori_Radidjiu> Ah, on the wall behind you all, when you started, there is actually a huge wooden door, that reaches almost to the top of that wall.
  57. Mar 29 14:00:32 <Melons> 6d6+4 Quick, know everything about dream worlds
  58. Mar 29 14:00:33 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Quick, know everything about dream worlds: 21 [6d6=5,2,1,1,3,5]
  59. Mar 29 14:01:30 <Med> "Siet alone might be responsible for at least half of this, maybe."
  60. Mar 29 14:02:06 <Med> "Oh, I guess since Lecia and Murphy aren't here, I guess that makes me your guide again!~"
  61. Mar 29 14:04:30 <Aori_Radidjiu> Dream worlds come from the architypical ideas of the visitors, an amalgamtion coming from humanity's collective subconscious. In individual dreams, the collective idea is further shaped by the individual, to personalize it, whereas in a collective dream like this it stays in its more generic form, slightly shaped by the visitors, but not as strongly.
  62. Mar 29 14:05:32 <Knox> The door is interesting, but Knox tries something else before they move on, heading to the wall where the pews go from the floor, and tries walking up it like it was just a curve to the floor.
  63. Mar 29 14:05:43 * Med turns around to face the group, wearing a dress and not much more. The thing about the dress is that, although it can be described at any given point, as Med moves about or otherwise acts, it seems to shift, flowing from one style to another in a rather fluid fashion (get it?). One minute, it might be not unlike the sundress Med was wearing just a bit ago - the next, it could be
  64. Mar 29 14:05:43 * Med a little black dress fit for clubbing, and the next something so lacy and moe that Mayuri would have trouble matching.
  65. Mar 29 14:05:53 <Aori_Radidjiu> You do in fact walk up on it. Seems all the walls have their own gravity.
  66. Mar 29 14:07:15 * Knox pauses on the wall and looks 'up' at Melons and Med. "Alright then, guide, where are we going?"
  67. Mar 29 14:08:06 <Aori_Radidjiu> Melanie is wearing the same thing from her vision before, a tight formfitting suit and a mask, which has two hollow eyes and a blank expression.
  68. Mar 29 14:08:42 <Knox> Ooh, and what's Knox in?
  69. Mar 29 14:09:10 * Melons revs her chain- oh wait. Instead she helps the TMNS while wielding a hoc- oh wait.
  70. Mar 29 14:09:58 <Aori_Radidjiu> http://michaeljeffreys.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/mask_1.jpg
  71. Mar 29 14:10:47 <Aori_Radidjiu> Knox is in...
  72. Mar 29 14:10:49 * Melons is part of the jabbawockeez, got it.
  73. Mar 29 14:12:15 <Aori_Radidjiu> A pair of purple pants, and nothing else. He's a bit more muscular than in real life and his hair...is kind of gooey. It drips onto the ground and makes a hissing noise when it makes contact, every now and then.
  74. Mar 29 14:12:44 <Med> what's a Siet in? :v
  75. Mar 29 14:13:32 * Med goes over to the stained glass with the girl and her dark reflection. "I think through here. I don't really know, but I don't think knowing is too important here anyway."
  76. Mar 29 14:14:04 <Aori_Radidjiu> A traditional kantonese men's kimono, with cleanse tags on the fringes, hanging off. He takes one off and another replaces it. He has his hand in his chin, in thought. "A church..."
  77. Mar 29 14:14:15 <Aori_Radidjiu> "It could be that we're supposed to do the 'exorcism' here."
  78. Mar 29 14:14:55 <Med> "I was hoping to meet her without conflict... but I guess that works too."
  79. Mar 29 14:15:12 <Melons> "I bed she turns into a big bad monster and chases us and we have to lead her here."
  80. Mar 29 14:15:44 * Knox keeps walking up and onto the ceiling to inspect the altar, then.
  81. Mar 29 14:16:14 <Med> (is there any music playing this time? :c )
  82. Mar 29 14:16:41 <Aori_Radidjiu> (I've been trying to figure o- wait a minute)
  83. Mar 29 14:17:29 <Med> (not just something from persona 4)
  84. Mar 29 14:17:51 <Med> (but with a > before that. or something. idk)
  85. Mar 29 14:18:48 <Aori_Radidjiu> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VGrFjQwAmOg
  86. Mar 29 14:22:54 <Aori_Radidjiu> The altar is kind of boring. It has a chalice filled with wine, a gohei lying on top of it, and some other 'purification' artifacts, like cleanse tags and other doodads.
  87. Mar 29 14:23:12 <Aori_Radidjiu> ...the gohei's on the altar. Not the chalice
  88. Mar 29 14:23:33 <Med> So the chalice is not on the altar, the gohei is. got it. <3
  89. Mar 29 14:23:56 <Aori_Radidjiu> ...nono, it is, I just realized the wording might've implied the gohei was on the chalice
  90. Mar 29 14:23:59 <Aori_Radidjiu> I'M SO TRRBLE
  91. Mar 29 14:24:06 <Med> <3
  92. Mar 29 14:24:32 <Aori_Radidjiu> Siet plucks a few of the cleanse tags from his robe. "Med, I want you to stand in the middle of this fresco."
  93. Mar 29 14:24:38 <Knox> "Nothing special up here, really. Just some ancient Japanese purification tools."
  94. Mar 29 14:24:52 * Knox heads back down, maybe by just dropping down from the ceiling, but otherwise he walks.
  95. Mar 29 14:25:01 <Knox> *Kantonese?
  96. Mar 29 14:25:18 <Aori_Radidjiu> correct, on both the correction and being able to DROP DOWN
  97. Mar 29 14:25:55 <Med> "Middle of wha?"
  98. Mar 29 14:25:56 * Melons looks over the widgets and doodads pensively. Not that anyone can tell.
  99. Mar 29 14:26:03 * Med -1 mind, untrained general education yo.
  100. Mar 29 14:26:03 * Knox lands nearby. "The middle of the pretty picture."
  101. Mar 29 14:26:17 * Knox gestures to the painting on the floor with the hands and light.
  102. Mar 29 14:26:30 <Knox> His tone is a bit sarcastic.
  103. Mar 29 14:26:57 <Med> "Middle of the painting, got it~"
  104. Mar 29 14:27:07 * Med walks to the light~
  105. Mar 29 14:37:12 <Aori_Radidjiu> "All right...everyone else, please clear off from the fresco." He starts placing a series of concentric circles of Cleanse Tags, all centered on Med and the light. He then stands on the edge of the circle, facing Med, and closes his eyes and begins murmuring some sort of chant. The cleanse tags begin lighting up, having a column of light come forth from them, first one in front of
  106. Mar 29 14:37:12 <Aori_Radidjiu> him, then it circles around the outer circle clockwise until it reaches first one, after which it moves on to the next inner circle, with the cleanse tag directly in front of Siet, and repeats the process until all of them have lit up. The lights then pivot to face Med, intensifying, and then widening, until there's an entire circle of light around Med, which then rises up into becoming
  107. Mar 29 14:37:13 <Aori_Radidjiu> a cylinder, obscuring her from sight, and rising up to the ceiling.
  108. Mar 29 14:37:17 <Mayuri> 4d6+3 occult knowledge: im 12 and what is this
  109. Mar 29 14:37:17 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, occult knowledge: im 12 and what is this: 15 [4d6=6,2,1,3]
  110. Mar 29 14:39:38 <Aori_Radidjiu> There's a bunch of WIND and pressure coming from the center, but no real noise, and eventually the pillar goes back down, shrinking until ti only encapsulates Med, then slowly begins to split into two cylinders, of identical size (still Med Sized) and then there's a BURST of pressure before the two cylinders of light dissipate, revealing Med and...
  111. Mar 29 14:39:45 <Aori_Radidjiu> A black skinned Med.
  112. Mar 29 14:43:34 <Aori_Radidjiu> There is also a slightly shimmering, mostly translucent cylinder where the big one used to be.
  113. Mar 29 14:43:53 <Knox> "Interesting..."
  114. Mar 29 14:44:31 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I have a barrier in place, in case her shadow was aggressive, but hopefully that's not necessary."
  115. Mar 29 14:45:38 <Med> "Oh, wow! I'm finally free!" the dark Med studies herself, before turning to look at the group, "Hi~"
  116. Mar 29 14:45:39 <Melons> "Would it actually do anything here?"
  117. Mar 29 14:46:19 <Aori_Radidjiu> "The barrier? It's part of the spell that keeps them seperate, so to break it would mean to break the spell that keeps them apart."
  118. Mar 29 14:47:27 <Knox> "So you're a different part of Med?" he asks, looking at her, and then looking back at th e original for a moment.
  119. Mar 29 14:48:07 <Med> "Yes I am~"
  120. Mar 29 14:48:09 <Melons> "I mean in this...particular environment. Drippy there was just walking up walls a second ago." Mel discreetly studies Demed.
  121. Mar 29 14:48:44 <Med> "Hi, Mel<3"
  122. Mar 29 14:49:21 <Melons> "...hi."
  123. Mar 29 14:49:25 <Med> "You're my favorite!" she says with a :3
  124. Mar 29 14:49:53 <Melons> "Good to know." Mel has never been happier to be wearing a mask.
  125. Mar 29 14:50:06 <Med> 5d6+6 she's totes blushing isnt she
  126. Mar 29 14:50:07 <DiceMaid-9001> Med, she's totes blushing isnt she: 22 [5d6=3,4,5,3,1]
  127. Mar 29 14:50:12 <Knox> He crosses his arms. "So, what now?"
  128. Mar 29 14:50:20 <Melons> Like Rudolph.
  129. Mar 29 14:50:27 <Med> "Hehe, you're blushing~" devilmed teases her. masks mean nothing
  130. Mar 29 14:50:28 <Aori_Radidjiu> "It reaches to the ceiling, so even if one were able to walk on the side of the barrier..."
  131. Mar 29 14:51:27 <Melons> "I was suggesting that the very nature of reality itself here is...well...not reality. In fact I've seen it fall apart and attack things before."
  132. Mar 29 14:51:48 <Med> "Are you gonna try to corrupt them, or something?" Med asks her evil clone.
  133. Mar 29 14:52:02 * castfromhp_ (castfromhp@sux-785131EB.hsd1.il.comcast.net) has joined
  134. Mar 29 14:52:20 <Aori_Radidjiu> "This area, at least to me, seems rather stable."
  135. Mar 29 14:52:27 * castfromhp has quit (NickServ (GHOST command used by castfromhp_))
  136. Mar 29 14:52:30 <Med> "Brother, you're so cautious~ Why would I try to hurt someone?~ You have me far outnumbered, if I did~"
  137. Mar 29 14:52:31 * castfromhp_ is now known as castfromhp
  138. Mar 29 14:52:35 <Melons> "Have a little faith, Med! Aren't we already terrible enough~?" It's quite clear she's actively avoiding facing D-Med again.
  139. Mar 29 14:52:56 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I've learned in my line of work to not take risks."
  140. Mar 29 14:53:01 <Knox> "She has a point." he comments about Mel's line.
  141. Mar 29 14:53:20 <Med> "'Sides, everything's still going perfectly according to plan. Everything~"
  142. Mar 29 14:53:32 <Knox> "You have a 'plan'?"
  143. Mar 29 14:53:52 <Med> "Of course I have a plan. All evil intergalactic hellspawns have plans~"
  144. Mar 29 14:54:42 <Melons> "There's always the possibility of only presenting yourself as though you'd planned for something to try to disarm us.."
  145. Mar 29 14:55:57 <Med> "Huh? Wouldn't it make you even more alert and suspicious?"
  146. Mar 29 14:56:41 <Knox> "That's what you'd want us to think." he says dryly. "But in all seriousness, what now? You're here, she's here, we're here. Are we going to have a sitdown and talk about feelings or shit?"
  147. Mar 29 14:56:53 * Knox looks at Siet.
  148. Mar 29 14:56:57 <Melons> "Why would we not already be alert and suspicious around evil intergalactic hellspawns?" She pantomimes a yawn.
  149. Mar 29 14:58:47 <Med> "Y'know, Mel, if I wanted to disarm you, I'd just point out that Mirai thinks you and her have an open relationship, and she's completely okay with us doing things together~"
  150. Mar 29 14:59:22 * Knox raises an eyebrow at that.
  151. Mar 29 14:59:33 <Aori_Radidjiu> Siet sighs. "Med explicitly wanted to talk to her other half. There isn't going to be any fighting here or anything, no. There is more of this area to explore, if you so desire."
  152. Mar 29 15:00:11 <Knox> "She's been pretty quiet so far."
  153. Mar 29 15:00:28 <Melons> Melanie quite clearly hesitates a bit but doesn't end up responding.
  154. Mar 29 15:00:56 <Knox> He ends up shrugging and goes to check out the door while people are talking to the demon.
  155. Mar 29 15:01:09 <Med> "Well, er... y'know... some of the stuff I wanted to talk about is personal." D:
  156. Mar 29 15:01:51 <Med> "You wanted to team up with me, and you don't want other people to know you're willing to consort with demons - which is really funny, 'cause you are one."
  157. Mar 29 15:03:03 * Melons turns to Siet. "Did the extraction affect normal Med at all?"
  158. Mar 29 15:03:13 <Mayuri> Suddenly, the door smacks right into Knox's face! "E-Err? Did someone put a chain on the door?"
  159. Mar 29 15:03:50 <Aori_Radidjiu> "A little, yes. She has that part of her subliminally normally, but right now she doesn't have it affecting her mental state."
  160. Mar 29 15:04:06 <Med> "Now you're going to just say all the stuff I wanted to talk to you about in private because you find it fun." D:
  161. Mar 29 15:04:25 <Med> "Damn straight!~"
  162. Mar 29 15:04:49 <Melons> "That would explain why this is the first time I've ever seen her act so...well...like me. A little bit. Like 1%."
  163. Mar 29 15:05:25 * Knox rubs his face and just glares down. How did that tiny little girl get on the other side of the door in the room they were all supposed to end up in together, anyway, let alone just slam a door almost as big as the wall into Knox's face?
  164. Mar 29 15:06:00 * Mayuri blink blinks! "Opps.. S-Sorry! I didn't think you were there."
  165. Mar 29 15:06:09 <Melons> "Med, is it really that private?" Dreamshenanigans, deal with it, Drippy.
  166. Mar 29 15:06:13 * Vandaeron (Vandaeron@sux-A475697.altnpa.east.verizon.net) has joined
  167. Mar 29 15:06:15 * Mayuri appears to be followed by a swarm of glowing pink butterflies for some reason!
  168. Mar 29 15:06:17 <Med> "You don't want to get rid of me, not because you can't because we both know you can, but because you don't want to. You want me around - you want to become one entity, not this whole two halfsies thing, and you think it'll benefit both of us - and you're also aware Siet would never approve, and, well, just about everyone else - other than Mel, our biggest fan~ - might oppose
  169. Mar 29 15:06:17 <Med> it too~"
  170. Mar 29 15:06:47 <Med> She gives Mel a wink when she mentions her.
  171. Mar 29 15:06:54 <Med> 5d6+6+6 it does this much moe damage
  172. Mar 29 15:06:55 <DiceMaid-9001> Med, it does this much moe damage: 24 [5d6=2,2,3,3,2]
  173. Mar 29 15:07:15 <Knox> "Where the hell have -you- been? Did you just decide to join us partway into this or something?"
  174. Mar 29 15:07:44 <Melons> "...I can't deny it, I really see no issue. It's not the...worst thing anyone's done for power."
  175. Mar 29 15:07:57 <Med> "It's not for power." D:
  176. Mar 29 15:08:17 * Vandaeron is now known as Mackenzie
  177. Mar 29 15:08:18 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mayuri is wearing an impossibly frilly white and pink dress, with a skirt that reaches down to the ground. The dress is sleeveless, with her instead wearing white lace gloves, and her hair is tied with a pink bow bigger than her head. Her skirt is multilayered, with alternating pink and white. The top of the dress is backless, managing to fit the front of her perfectly without any
  178. Mar 29 15:08:18 <Aori_Radidjiu> apparent support, and the front of it is white with pink butterflies embroidered on it. Her eyes have gone from being a pupil and an iris to a solid color.
  179. Mar 29 15:08:28 <Med> "I'm not even that strong - as demons go, I'm probably one of the weakest you'd ever meet!"
  180. Mar 29 15:09:05 * Mayuri giggles
  181. Mar 29 15:09:12 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mayuri's hair is also impractically long, reaching JUST an inch above the floor
  182. Mar 29 15:09:41 <Med> "But, you know, there's a contradiction you haven't thought of."
  183. Mar 29 15:09:49 <Med> "We're not really the same person at all."
  184. Mar 29 15:09:53 <Mayuri> "I heard about it, and wanted to check it out!"
  185. Mar 29 15:10:02 <Melons> "I don't mean shooting lightning from your eyes power, I just mean growth or advantage of some sort."
  186. Mar 29 15:10:26 * Knox just grumbles and backs up from the door for a moment then, and heads back over to the Meds.
  187. Mar 29 15:10:38 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mayuri doesn't seem to have any trouble moving with the HUGE SKIRT
  188. Mar 29 15:10:59 <Med> "Hey, you like thrills? You should totally come in here past the barrier, and ignore all of Siet's warnings~" she says to Knox
  189. Mar 29 15:11:08 <Med> "Hey, you like thrills? You should totally come in here past the barrier, and ignore all of Siet's warnings~" she says to Knox
  190. Mar 29 15:13:30 <Knox> "I don't mind living on the wild side, but I also give a shit about the people I work with." he says, unimpressed. "And I'm not about to fuck this up for Med."
  191. Mar 29 15:14:14 <Melons> "Of course it's not exactly black and white enough to know whether you'd be fucking it up or helping..."
  192. Mar 29 15:14:14 <Knox> "There's a difference between thrilling and 'random acts of stupidity'."
  193. Mar 29 15:15:14 <Melons> Mel snorts with a small laugh. "Ha...black and white..."
  194. Mar 29 15:16:11 * Mayuri joins up with the rest of the party~
  195. Mar 29 15:16:12 <Aori_Radidjiu> Since Mayuri opened the door, past the door is a labyrinth of staircases, with occasionally a whole 'room' in some space. It doesn't have a consistent ceiling,w ith staircases on the ceiling in some areas and cutting off into the open air (which has a softly glowing full moon) in others.
  196. Mar 29 15:16:23 <Med> "Man, why am I dark here anyway? This is all your fault - I'm, like, probably the reason Med's so pale.
  197. Mar 29 15:16:27 <Med> "
  198. Mar 29 15:17:37 <Melons> "Well it IS neat to see..." Literal black people are so very rare.
  199. Mar 29 15:17:43 <Knox> "So if you're not really the same person, then what are you?"
  200. Mar 29 15:21:05 <Med> "Well... y'know that whole previous reality? I don't remember it. You,", she turns to the other Med, "have some ties to the other reality. I don't."
  201. Mar 29 15:21:56 <Melons> "In every sense a shadow."
  202. Mar 29 15:22:03 <Med> "If you know me so well, why would you ever think that'd matter?" '-'
  203. Mar 29 15:22:40 <Med> "Can't I be a little dramatic?~"
  204. Mar 29 15:23:48 <Melons> "It's illegal actually."
  205. Mar 29 15:24:48 <Med> "Hey Mel~ Mirai definitely won't be mad at you for having a sex dream here or there~"
  206. Mar 29 15:25:38 <Aori_Radidjiu> Occasionally the butterflies and other things embroidered on Mayuri's dress pop off and run away or fly away, only to dissolve and be replaced on her dress with something else
  207. Mar 29 15:25:55 <Mayuri> "You better find a room if you do that..." >.<
  208. Mar 29 15:26:41 <Med> 5d6+6 shadow med attempts to invoke her will on the dreamscape, and force the church into a steamy love hotel-esque bedroom. 500% over the top.
  209. Mar 29 15:26:42 <DiceMaid-9001> Med, shadow med attempts to invoke her will on the dreamscape, and force the church into a steamy love hotel-esque bedroom. 500% over the top.: 23 [5d6=6,5,3,1,2]
  210. Mar 29 15:26:59 <Knox> "So to you, the original Med is a remnant clinging to a past that doesn't exist, and you resent that part of yourself?"
  211. Mar 29 15:27:29 <Aori_Radidjiu> The pew's change into heart-shaped beds.
  212. Mar 29 15:27:33 <Aori_Radidjiu> *pews
  213. Mar 29 15:27:41 <Med> "Room found~"
  214. Mar 29 15:27:49 <Mayuri> (What skill is that o3o)
  215. Mar 29 15:28:01 <Med> (i assumed focus~)
  216. Mar 29 15:28:02 <Aori_Radidjiu> (...what DID you roll)
  217. Mar 29 15:28:05 <Aori_Radidjiu> (oh good)
  218. Mar 29 15:28:09 <Aori_Radidjiu> (Yeah it'd be Focus)
  219. Mar 29 15:28:23 <Med> 6d6+6 charm the dream world into liking her. totes.
  220. Mar 29 15:28:24 <DiceMaid-9001> Med, charm the dream world into liking her. totes.: 20 [6d6=4,1,3,3,1,2]
  221. Mar 29 15:28:47 * Melons squirms in discomfort a bit.
  222. Mar 29 15:29:21 * Med giggles at Dark Med's shenanigans and Mel's discomfort, while Shadow Med blows Mel a kiss.
  223. Mar 29 15:29:27 <Melons> "Med, just do what you came here to do." She turns to go examine the Escher reality from the doorway.
  224. Mar 29 15:29:54 <Aori_Radidjiu> The altar is still there, as is the fresco. Some of the stained glass windows on the side change to scenes such as a couple making out in between library bookshelves, but not all of them change.
  225. Mar 29 15:30:32 * Knox just starts laughing a bit, not WITH either Med but AT the black-skinned one. It's a rather derisive laugh.
  226. Mar 29 15:30:50 <Knox> "What a crock of shit."
  227. Mar 29 15:31:10 <Med> "A crock of shit?~"
  228. Mar 29 15:31:38 <Knox> "You're attached solely to a reality that Team Aether was involved in changing."
  229. Mar 29 15:32:06 <Knox> "You're little more than another tool in that regard."
  230. Mar 29 15:32:09 <Med> "Oh. Don't mistake me. That's your reality now."
  231. Mar 29 15:32:20 <Knox> "Who says it has to stay that way?"
  232. Mar 29 15:32:20 <Med> "You'll never go back."
  233. Mar 29 15:32:28 <Knox> "Try me."
  234. Mar 29 15:32:37 <Med> "The supposed guardian warriors of the dream world are scared of fixing things."
  235. Mar 29 15:32:48 <Med> "You're just a small fry."
  236. Mar 29 15:33:40 <Knox> "Well fuck them, then. I'm going to grab Aether by the balls and rip out all of their influence. From this, to how they fucked me over as well."
  237. Mar 29 15:33:59 <Med> Dark Med giggles. "All talk~"
  238. Mar 29 15:34:14 <Knox> "You really think that?" he leers at Dark Med with a rather manic grin.
  239. Mar 29 15:34:18 <Knox> 6d6+5 Intimidate
  240. Mar 29 15:34:18 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, Intimidate: 31 [6d6=4,6,4,3,4,5]
  241. Mar 29 15:34:29 <Med> 5d6+6 FOCUS
  242. Mar 29 15:34:29 <DiceMaid-9001> Med, FOCUS: 23 [5d6=4,4,1,3,5]
  243. Mar 29 15:35:09 * Melons posits that the staircase labyrinth is just one actual set of stairs and starts walking up/down/whateverit'ssubjective them to get over her flusteredness. Flusterity. Flustertude. Although she probably just gets MORE flustered thinking about it.
  244. Mar 29 15:36:13 <Med> "K-keh... but you have something even scarier... d-don't you?~"
  245. Mar 29 15:36:30 <Med> "What was its name, the pinsir?"
  246. Mar 29 15:36:48 <Knox> "Tenebrae. And I'll remove Aether's influence from him as well. And he'll be stronger for it."
  247. Mar 29 15:36:50 <Mayuri> "I'm not sure messing with time more is gonna fix it" :<
  248. Mar 29 15:37:00 <Med> "Tenebrae, show this insolent whelp some respect!"
  249. Mar 29 15:37:03 <Med> 6d6+6 command
  250. Mar 29 15:37:04 <DiceMaid-9001> Med, command: 29 [6d6=4,4,4,4,2,5]
  251. Mar 29 15:37:28 * Knox looks around. "Do you see him here? You don't have as good of a mental image of him as I do."
  252. Mar 29 15:37:44 <Knox> "Your words are meaningless."
  253. Mar 29 15:37:46 <Aori_Radidjiu> He didn't bring it around~
  254. Mar 29 15:38:02 <Mayuri> "I'm sure Team Aether didn't mess with every person individually! It's not like everybody's worse off..." :T
  255. Mar 29 15:38:05 <Med> "Smart~"
  256. Mar 29 15:39:30 <Med> "Um... Knox..."
  257. Mar 29 15:39:35 <Med> *er
  258. Mar 29 15:39:39 <Med> *"Um... Nick..."
  259. Mar 29 15:40:11 <Med> "Could you refrain from insulting or fighting with her, please?"
  260. Mar 29 15:40:59 <Med> "Also... everything you say about her applies to me, too."
  261. Mar 29 15:41:52 <Mackenzie> Suddenly the lights dim, and two spotlights focus in on an entrance that wasn't there before. Mackenzie the Magnificent, dressed as Indigo Pokemontoya, enters in a shower of confetti. "My name is Indigo Pokemontoya. You killed my father. Prepare to die." The lights return to normal.
  262. Mar 29 15:42:19 <Med> "Hi, Macky~" shadowmed waves.
  263. Mar 29 15:43:29 * Knox looks at Med. "She doesn't seem to share your opinions."
  264. Mar 29 15:44:24 <Knox> "Are you -sure- you can make peace with her how you were wanting? This part of you seems more antagonistic than it's worth."
  265. Mar 29 15:45:15 * Mayuri tries to land a few butterflies on Mackenzie's head!
  266. Mar 29 15:45:17 * Knox then just stares as Mack arrives.
  267. Mar 29 15:45:23 <Mayuri> 2d5+4 FOCUS!
  268. Mar 29 15:45:24 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, FOCUS!: 7 [2d5=2,1]
  269. Mar 29 15:45:27 <Med> "But she's still part of me."
  270. Mar 29 15:46:41 <Med> "I'm tired of being afraid of myself. I'm going to accept her, no matter what."
  271. Mar 29 15:46:42 <Knox> "You didn't answer my question."
  272. Mar 29 15:47:06 <Knox> "Okay, there we go."
  273. Mar 29 15:49:37 <Aori_Radidjiu> MELANIE! I did not forget about it
  274. Mar 29 15:49:40 <Mackenzie> "If you ask me... If you simply remove the dark side, there's no side to be afraid of at all."
  275. Mar 29 15:49:57 <Aori_Radidjiu> Singlemindedly going down the stairs results in you visiting....
  276. Mar 29 15:51:55 <Aori_Radidjiu> an open area (although you can't see anyone from here, and there's enough walls and complications that it might as well be a "room") where there's a bed, a mirror, a closet, and a vanity with LOTS of makeup.
  277. Mar 29 15:52:31 <Knox> "You -shouldn't- be afraid of yourself." he says simply. "But keep in mind she would have tried to get my own pokemon to attack me, if he was here. She was even mocking you for wanting to become one person. If you have the resolve to overcome these toxic parts of yourself then -show it-, goddammit. Otherwise? She's going to consume you."
  278. Mar 29 15:53:23 <Melons> "Hmmm?" She glances around a bit to make sure there's no one just chilling there before looking in the closet. And under the bed. That's a thing now.
  279. Mar 29 15:53:38 <Med> "That's not how people work. Flirting with Mel, getting angry at Nick, and even just being open with things people normally aren't - they're all me."
  280. Mar 29 15:54:42 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mel opens the closet
  281. Mar 29 15:54:43 <Med> "There's no just 'getting rid of her.'"
  282. Mar 29 15:54:54 <Aori_Radidjiu> There's a skeleton inside wearing a top hat
  283. Mar 29 15:54:55 <Knox> "You'll notice I didn't say that."
  284. Mar 29 15:55:03 <Aori_Radidjiu> He tips it and then dissolves into nothing
  285. Mar 29 15:55:43 * Melons has a little bit of a freakout and reaches for an inhaler she doesn't have and doesn't need to use out of habit.
  286. Mar 29 15:56:56 <Mackenzie> "The shadow can be removed from pokemon. Why not people too?"
  287. Mar 29 15:57:01 <Med> "Nick... don't you think it's might be a bad thing he's not here?"
  288. Mar 29 15:57:33 <Knox> "Who, Tenebrae? He's not here because I didn't bring him, I'd guess."
  289. Mar 29 15:57:45 <Med> "It might mean you don't really have a connection with him, yet..."
  290. Mar 29 15:58:04 <Knox> "I'm not so sure about that."
  291. Mar 29 15:58:08 <Med> "All of mine are with me, because I hold every single one of them dear."
  292. Mar 29 15:58:13 * Med is eight monning it up. Fuck you PCs.
  293. Mar 29 15:58:44 <Knox> "I don't really see where you're going with this."
  294. Mar 29 15:59:01 <Aori_Radidjiu> In the closet there is...a whole bunch of cute outfits! There's an additional mirror inside the closet for changing. They're all a little...on the skimpy side, though. All of them show something, whether it's just shorts being shorts, or because that top has a v-neck, or something.
  295. Mar 29 15:59:08 <Knox> "You think I don't care about my pokemon, or don't have a bond with them?"
  296. Mar 29 15:59:13 <Knox> "Then you're fucking wrong."
  297. Mar 29 15:59:31 <Knox> "But we're not here for me, we're here for you, Med."
  298. Mar 29 15:59:51 <Mayuri> "Maybe we should debug Knox's dream spacey thing sometime..." -x-
  299. Mar 29 16:00:12 <Melons> "Yep, not at all like I expected..." She glances under the bed, not entirely sure what to expect.
  300. Mar 29 16:00:41 <Knox> "And right now I'm cautioning you - this other part of you has no self restraint. If you don't have the willpower to deal with that when trying to accept her, you're not going to make it."
  301. Mar 29 16:01:14 <Med> "Do you think I don't have willpower?"
  302. Mar 29 16:01:42 <Knox> "I've been asking you to show me."
  303. Mar 29 16:01:52 <Knox> "You've hardly even been speaking with her."
  304. Mar 29 16:02:03 <Aori_Radidjiu> Under the bed there is...
  305. Mar 29 16:02:16 <Med> "You're right."
  306. Mar 29 16:02:49 <Med> 5d6+6 BLOT OUT THE DISTRACTIONS (knox + mack), maybe make the barrier go opaque and soundproof
  307. Mar 29 16:02:50 <DiceMaid-9001> Med, BLOT OUT THE DISTRACTIONS (knox + mack), maybe make the barrier go opaque and soundproof: 28 [5d6=6,6,5,1,4]
  308. Mar 29 16:03:06 <Aori_Radidjiu> The barrier goes from sparkly transparent to WHITE
  309. Mar 29 16:03:22 <Mayuri> "She hasn't wanted to do anything that mean yet..." :T
  310. Mar 29 16:03:47 <Aori_Radidjiu> Under the bed is a little girl's outfit, a pink outfit for dancing, with trailing pink ribbons
  311. Mar 29 16:04:31 <Knox> Knox looks visibly irritated now, thinking Med is being entirely childish with this, and walks right out of the room to explore the labyrinth thing himself.
  312. Mar 29 16:04:51 <Mackenzie> "Hold on, Knox."
  313. Mar 29 16:04:57 <Med> is it soundproof too? or shall i continue typing medwords?
  314. Mar 29 16:05:03 <Aori_Radidjiu> It's soundproof
  315. Mar 29 16:05:48 <Knox> "What?" he looks at Mack.
  316. Mar 29 16:05:54 * Melons blinks. Little girl's shouldn't have skimpy clothing! She goes to the vanity to dig through for things that aren't makeup.
  317. Mar 29 16:06:17 * Mayuri pokes the wall o.o
  318. Mar 29 16:06:24 <Aori_Radidjiu> It's solid.
  319. Mar 29 16:06:41 <Aori_Radidjiu> It makes a slight ripple in the wall
  320. Mar 29 16:06:53 <Mackenzie> "We both know that if we don't support Med through this, she'll end up overcome."
  321. Mar 29 16:07:40 <Knox> "She doesn't seem to want any." he gestures at the opaque barrier. "I was trying to be fucking supportive, and I guess she thought I was being antagonistic."
  322. Mar 29 16:08:20 <Knox> "Either way, she has her privacy now."
  323. Mar 29 16:08:28 <Knox> "Nothing we say or do can reach her now."
  324. Mar 29 16:10:37 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mel you find...literally nothing you want. Everything is something you don't want. It's things like makeup, self-help books, books on MAKING GREAT PARTIES, music players full of pop music, and other miscellaneous things
  325. Mar 29 16:10:42 <Knox> "She's got my best wishes, but she's the one who just shut us out."
  326. Mar 29 16:11:27 * Melons gives up and resumes stairstepping, assuming there are still steps to traverse.
  327. Mar 29 16:11:35 <Mayuri> "She doesn't seem that bad..."
  328. Mar 29 16:11:53 <Mackenzie> "Don't be so sure." He pulls out his sword, and it's a lot more magnificent and decorated than his real one. "This barrier won't stand up to a combined attack."
  329. Mar 29 16:12:21 <Knox> "If we attack that barrier, it's going to probably fuck up everything for sure."
  330. Mar 29 16:12:31 <Knox> "I'd just rather leave her to it."
  331. Mar 29 16:13:00 <Aori_Radidjiu> Siet pipes in. "Destroying the barrier would revert them to being one person again."
  332. Mar 29 16:14:01 <Knox> "See? And we wouldn't have solved shit."
  333. Mar 29 16:14:15 <Knox> "The only thing we can do right now is trust that Med knows what the fuck she's doing."
  334. Mar 29 16:14:33 <Mayuri> "Your girlfriend isn't going to steal herself from you, anyway..."
  335. Mar 29 16:14:44 <Knox> "Who the hell said she was my girlfriend?"
  336. Mar 29 16:14:52 * Knox squints down at Mayuri.
  337. Mar 29 16:16:05 <Mackenzie> "Don't bother with that. She'll just start making out with everyone she comes across if you try."
  338. Mar 29 16:16:55 <Mayuri> "I-I kinda guessed..."
  339. Mar 29 16:17:20 * Knox gives Mack a look. "What, and there's a problem with that? Whatever, man. People are free to do whatever they want. I don't get into exclusive relationships because they inevitably cause drama."
  340. Mar 29 16:17:32 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mel is greeted again by the skeleton on the stairs. He's not blocking, but he's there. He tips his hat again and starts laughing.
  341. Mar 29 16:18:19 <Melons> She jumps a bit but doesn't completely lose her shit. "Guh!..uh...er...hi?...which one...which one is the funny bone?"
  342. Mar 29 16:19:30 <Mackenzie> "Well, do what you want." Mack sits down near the barrier. "I'm only here for helping Med."
  343. Mar 29 16:20:02 <Aori_Radidjiu> He points to a humerus
  344. Mar 29 16:20:48 <Knox> "Ngh. Fine. I'll wait with you."
  345. Mar 29 16:20:55 <Mayuri> "Afraid of commitment too, hun..."
  346. Mar 29 16:20:57 * Knox turns back and has a seat nearby as well.
  347. Mar 29 16:21:24 <Aori_Radidjiu> Then speaks. "Are you going to ditch every part of yourself?"
  348. Mar 29 16:21:44 <Melons> "W-what?"
  349. Mar 29 16:22:32 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Or just these? Or could you unditch? HAAAHAAAHAAAHAAA" He jumps off the edge of the area, falling into nothing, disappearing
  350. Mar 29 16:23:45 <Melons> Bored of wondrous dreamscapes, sick of being harrassed by scary spooky skeletons, and a little disappointed the area isn't nightmare-torn madness, Mel heads to return to the church^(-1)
  351. Mar 29 16:23:52 <Knox> "Afraid? It's more like..." he realizes he's starting to have a serious talk with commitment with the 12 year old and blanches, but he continues. "It puts an unrealistic expectation of trust on others and limits their actions to only ones you approve of. That doesn't seem like something I'd want to do to anyone I cared about, so why would I let someone put those expectations on me,
  352. Mar 29 16:23:52 <Knox> either?"
  353. Mar 29 16:26:11 <Knox> "Live free, love free, die happy. That's what I want. To hell with the concept of expectations that society likes to impress on people. If it works for other people, great."
  354. Mar 29 16:26:36 * Knox shakes his head. "But not for me."
  355. Mar 29 16:27:05 <Mackenzie> "It's not about that. It's about finding someone you're so in sync with that you don't have to limit yourselves to be fully exclusive with."
  356. Mar 29 16:27:24 * Mayuri giggles
  357. Mar 29 16:27:31 <Knox> "I honestly doubt I'll ever find someone like that."
  358. Mar 29 16:27:48 <Mackenzie> "I dunno, there are plenty of women full of poison out there."
  359. Mar 29 16:27:54 * Melons steps back into the church. "...who the hell put confetti everywhere?"
  360. Mar 29 16:27:55 <Knox> He snorts.
  361. Mar 29 16:28:12 * Knox points at Mack.
  362. Mar 29 16:28:51 <Mackenzie> "Dreams, I'm amazing, Indigo Pokemontoya, prepare to die, and so forth."
  363. Mar 29 16:29:03 <Melons> She then notices the barrier's changed. "And did someone fuck up? It looks like someone fucked up."
  364. Mar 29 16:29:09 <Med> 5d6+6 this is probably the most important thing i'm going to roll all day
  365. Mar 29 16:29:10 <DiceMaid-9001> Med, this is probably the most important thing i'm going to roll all day: 25 [5d6=5,4,6,1,3]
  366. Mar 29 16:29:33 <Knox> "Med decided she wanted some peace and quiet."
  367. Mar 29 16:29:47 <Mackenzie> "They're still going at it."
  368. Mar 29 16:29:58 <Mackenzie> "They? She? Whichever."
  369. Mar 29 16:30:26 <Melons> "Th-they're what?"
  370. Mar 29 16:30:36 <Knox> "Not sex, you goofball."
  371. Mar 29 16:31:00 * Melons is once again quite thankful for the mask.
  372. Mar 29 16:32:44 <Knox> "Anyway, I only limit myself as far as the crew is concerned. I do what I want, unless it dicks someone I'm working with over. Unless they want to be dicked over." he says, idly.
  373. Mar 29 16:32:57 <Knox> "That's all that needs to be said about that, I think."
  374. Mar 29 16:33:42 * Melons is once again quite thankful for the mask. +1
  375. Mar 29 16:34:53 <Mayuri> "I've just always thought it'd be nice to find someone that you like so much that you wanna, like, be one person with them and stuff, you know~"
  376. Mar 29 16:35:09 <Mayuri> "Like in stories and stuff!"
  377. Mar 29 16:35:22 <Melons> "It's not supposed to be literal..."
  378. Mar 29 16:36:32 <Mackenzie> "Anyway, we're just being hopeful for Med and such. I really don't want to know what else is out there right now."
  379. Mar 29 16:36:34 <Mayuri> "Knox's too silly about people to do it literally or not!"
  380. Mar 29 16:36:36 <Med> The barrier of white light starts flickering away, the spell apparently collapsing. Standing in the middle of the circle are a pair of Meds. They appear to have just sealed something with a kiss, and are now themselves flickering away themselves - but they seem to be a little more resilient than the barrier was.
  381. Mar 29 16:37:10 <Med> YOU GUYS HAVE TWELVE AND A HALF SECONDS (exactly) TO REACT TO THE MEDS WHILE THEY MAKE OUT
  382. Mar 29 16:37:26 * Melons is wearing a mask.
  383. Mar 29 16:37:45 * Mayuri pays no heed to Med's repressed desires -x-
  384. Mar 29 16:37:57 <Aori_Radidjiu> (>repressed)
  385. Mar 29 16:38:11 <Melons> (How often does one get to take advantage of selfcest?)
  386. Mar 29 16:39:14 <Aori_Radidjiu> (I guess!_)
  387. Mar 29 16:39:27 <Mayuri> (Doesn't Med dream of this kinda stuff more? :o)
  388. Mar 29 16:40:20 <Knox> "...huh."
  389. Mar 29 16:40:52 <Knox> "Well that's... interesting." he says with a bit of a smirk.
  390. Mar 29 16:41:04 * Mackenzie doesn't say anything. He just looks down at the floor inside the barrier.
  391. Mar 29 16:41:24 <Med> Eventually, the two Meds fade out entirely. They're made of tougher stuff than normal, but they're not quite dream champions... yet?!
  392. Mar 29 16:41:39 <Knox> "...so wait, where is she now?"
  393. Mar 29 16:42:08 * Knox watches them flicker.
  394. Mar 29 16:42:46 <Melons> "Well...er..." Throat clear. "She may have woken up. Or nightmares got her."
  395. Mar 29 16:43:10 <Med> The lights start flickering, too. The stained glass windows eventually become the church's only light source, though they too go out one by one.
  396. Mar 29 16:43:25 <Med> The love hotel church.
  397. Mar 29 16:43:52 <Melons> 4d6+4 Fuck that, make my own little wisp light!
  398. Mar 29 16:43:53 * Mayuri blinks
  399. Mar 29 16:43:53 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Fuck that, make my own little wisp light!: 19 [4d6=5,2,6,2]
  400. Mar 29 16:44:21 <Med> 5d6+6 med doesn't really stop that but ...
  401. Mar 29 16:44:22 <DiceMaid-9001> Med, med doesn't really stop that but ...: 25 [5d6=6,2,4,2,5]
  402. Mar 29 16:44:56 <Med> The wisp light is quickly overtaken by a bright light, silhouetting a small girl surrounded by familiar monsters.
  403. Mar 29 16:46:17 * Med snaps her fingers, relighting the candles with green flame - and even though they're just light up the room normally, they somehow drown out the bright spotlight until it's not even there.
  404. Mar 29 16:48:05 * Med is still wearing her everchanging dress, her eyes still a bright red, but her skin is pale with ebony black lines covering her, almost like veins or maybe the impression of something shattered, though they seem quite normal enough on her, not unlike a texture swap in a video game.
  405. Mar 29 16:48:06 * Mayuri :Ts and tries to make a bubble of FAIRY LIGHT around her
  406. Mar 29 16:48:26 <Mayuri> 2d6+4 FAIRY LIGHT; 3d6+2 And summon Naomi to help?
  407. Mar 29 16:48:27 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, FAIRY LIGHT: 9 [2d6=3,2]; And summon Naomi to help?: 10 [3d6=2,1,5]
  408. Mar 29 16:48:31 <Med> "Just who, Nicholas, will overcome who?"
  409. Mar 29 16:48:45 <Med> "I told you. We're one and the same. There's no overcoming anyone."
  410. Mar 29 16:50:02 <Med> The love hotel aspects of the church might be gone. In fact, a lot of aspects of the church might be different, now!
  411. Mar 29 16:50:53 <Aori_Radidjiu> The church has gotten a bit bigger, becoming more grandiose, with more pillars on the sides for support. The fresco has gotten bigger, wtih more hands and more variety, with the light actually glowing a little
  412. Mar 29 16:51:14 <Melons> "We're done then?"
  413. Mar 29 16:51:46 <Med> "Mhm~ unless you guys wanna explore~ it might be fun!"
  414. Mar 29 16:52:10 <Aori_Radidjiu> Siet scratches his head. "Hmmmm, maybe some other time."
  415. Mar 29 16:52:12 <Knox> "Wait."
  416. Mar 29 16:52:15 <Melons> "It wasn't, there are just weird half-bedrooms and skeletons with top hats."
  417. Mar 29 16:52:16 * Knox stands up.
  418. Mar 29 16:52:20 <Knox> "How do you feel now, exactly?"
  419. Mar 29 16:52:37 <Med> "There's an infinite space to explore - we're at the crossroads between worlds. You've just got to have a more open mind!"
  420. Mar 29 16:52:53 <Med> "I feel amazing~"
  421. Mar 29 16:53:17 <Med> "Like... I didn't even realize how broken I was until just now~"
  422. Mar 29 16:53:31 <Knox> "I wish you hadn't shut us out." he says, with a frown.
  423. Mar 29 16:53:32 <Mackenzie> "I suppose if that's that, then... What I came here for is done, for better or worse."
  424. Mar 29 16:53:51 <Mayuri> "Eh? I thought exploring minds was for boyfriends or girlfriends."
  425. Mar 29 16:54:11 <Knox> "But exploring here sometime dooes sound interesting..." he has to admit.
  426. Mar 29 16:54:13 <Med> "It couldn't be helped. You were giving the idea that there might be conflict~ I didn't want you to accidentally make that a reality~"
  427. Mar 29 16:54:42 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I was a little worried there might be conflict as well, myself..."
  428. Mar 29 16:54:59 <Med> "See? So, in the end, it had to just be the two of us."
  429. Mar 29 16:55:11 <Med> "Or is it the one of us? Hmm~"
  430. Mar 29 16:55:11 <Melons> "If I haven't caused the area to explode in madness, I don't imagine Drippy was a danger."
  431. Mar 29 16:55:41 * Knox takes a big glop from his hair and rubs it on Mel's shoulder or arm.
  432. Mar 29 16:55:46 <Mayuri> "Well, as long as you aren't fighting yourself, it's OK, right?"
  433. Mar 29 16:56:02 <Aori_Radidjiu> It sizzles a bit, in a slightly painful but not HORRIBLE way
  434. Mar 29 16:56:14 <Med> "It's one thing if only he thought so, but if he convinced everyone else that'd be the case, you guys might eventually overwhelm me~"
  435. Mar 29 16:56:14 <Aori_Radidjiu> On Mel, that is. Knox isn't bothered by it at all.
  436. Mar 29 16:56:43 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Either way, we should be waking up, yes?"
  437. Mar 29 16:56:46 <Med> "For example, I bet if we all joined hands and imagined Mel naked, there'd be a realistic chance her clothes would disintegrate~"
  438. Mar 29 16:57:05 <Knox> "Maybe later."
  439. Mar 29 16:57:19 <Med> "That was just an anology~"
  440. Mar 29 16:57:28 <Med> "To explain how it works~" says the girl with no occult knowledge.
  441. Mar 29 16:57:28 <Knox> "Or was it?"
  442. Mar 29 16:57:35 <Knox> "Uh-huh."
  443. Mar 29 16:57:42 * Knox sounds like he doesn't quite believe her.
  444. Mar 29 16:57:43 <Melons> "We'releavingrightnowohgodhowdowewakeup?"
  445. Mar 29 16:57:48 <Aori_Radidjiu> BAM
  446. Mar 29 16:57:56 <Aori_Radidjiu> Suddenly you all wake up.
  447. Mar 29 16:58:20 <Aori_Radidjiu> Gran walks over. "The controls indicated distress, so I woke you all up."
  448. Mar 29 16:58:51 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I hope that was a good idea."
  449. Mar 29 16:58:52 <Knox> "We were done, so it's fine." he stretches and sits up, feeling of his hair.
  450. Mar 29 16:59:16 <Mayuri> "We were about to see Mel naked, apparently."
  451. Mar 29 16:59:26 * Melons checks to make sure she's still wearing clothes, with her face showing all of the ;-; previously hidden.
  452. Mar 29 16:59:41 <Knox> "First things first, I need shampoo as soon as we get back to the ship."
  453. Mar 29 16:59:48 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I see." Gran walks off to unlock the way out. "We are done, then. Follow me."
  454. Mar 29 16:59:58 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Once you are properly woken up."
  455. Mar 29 17:00:14 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mel is wearing the same clothes as before
  456. Mar 29 17:00:31 <Aori_Radidjiu> Anyway, I'm calling </session> now. Later~
