  1. Jun 14 12:21:39 <Aori_Radidjiu> Tuesday, June 2nd, 4 PM. Melanie is dragging Lesieli along (and whoever else, possibly Ree and Sami) to a certain MODELING AGENCY, but when she gets there she finds out at the desk, according to the male secretary, that...
  2. Jun 14 12:22:06 <Aori_Radidjiu> "We're not doing modeling shoots here today. All of the cameramen here are getting prepared for the Firefly Festival tonight."
  3. Jun 14 12:23:27 * Melons raises an eyebrow. "The whatnow?"
  4. Jun 14 12:24:17 <Riona> "You know, the Firefly Festival!"
  5. Jun 14 12:24:37 <Riona> "They release all sorts of Volbeat and Illumise and it's pretty!" Ree may or may not be confusing this with something else.
  6. Jun 14 12:24:41 <Riona> Goddamn foreigners.
  7. Jun 14 12:25:03 * Riona has absolutely dragged along a clearly flustered Sami and an even more clearly resigned Siggy.
  8. Jun 14 12:25:08 <Melons> Did Grandma ever talk about this shit?
  9. Jun 14 12:25:49 <Aori_Radidjiu> "The festival in Ark on the full moon during June, where, yes, there are a ton of Volbeat and Illumise, a fireworks show, a bikini contest, and a Cute Contest." The secretary twirls a pen in his hand.
  10. Jun 14 12:25:58 * DiceMaid-9001 (DiceMaid-9@sux-EADD5C74) has joined
  11. Jun 14 12:26:09 <Riona> "Lots of glowing butts, yeah!"
  12. Jun 14 12:26:15 <Aori_Radidjiu> Grandma did! In fact, Gramps and Grammy had their first real date at one.
  13. Jun 14 12:27:59 <Melons> "...ah...I...erm...right then...we'll just...something." Mel gets a weird look on her face, well weirder than a weird look that probably always encompasses her face, and wrings her hands. "...so where is all this?"
  14. Jun 14 12:28:47 <Riona> "...this -is- the festival where they make peoples' butts glow by applying luminescent paint as a prank, right? Or am I thinking of something else?" :<
  15. Jun 14 12:30:18 <Aori_Radidjiu> "All over the place! Well, the fireflies will be. The bikini contest and Cute Contest are at..." He circles a place not too far from where you all are now. "The amphitheater. It's also a good place for looking at the fireworks, and they give out free Illumise or Volbeat over there, limit one per person."
  16. Jun 14 12:31:20 <Melons> "...and that's...the VOLBEAT kind of Volbeat, right? Not some other sort of Volbeat?" JustpretendRionaisn'tthere.
  17. Jun 14 12:31:53 <Aori_Radidjiu> Then he leans forward and whispers. "And if you want the glow paint, well..." He circles a place on the map. "That's the best place to buy some. And yes, Volbeat. There isn't any other Volbeat besides Volbeat."
  18. Jun 14 12:32:06 * Riona grins devilishly. :D
  19. Jun 14 12:32:22 <Riona> "Sami, we have a job to do, and we're getting this festival on film! For educational purposes!"
  20. Jun 14 12:32:27 <Riona> "Bring your best swimsuit!"
  21. Jun 14 12:33:57 <Aori_Radidjiu> She grins. "For educational purposes! On how to be the sexiest!" Nodnod. Sigmund is without comment.
  22. Jun 14 12:34:07 <Melons> "R-Right...you lot go off and find your gross paint stuff...a-and I'll go get a cute little b-buggy..." DOYOUKNOWWHATVOLBEATSCANDOTHEY'REFUCKINGAWESOME!...actually...I'm probably going to need your help.
  23. Jun 14 12:35:26 <Riona> "Hm? Help with what?"
  24. Jun 14 12:35:33 <Riona> "Also, do you want to be a movie star? :D"
  25. Jun 14 12:35:38 <Aori_Radidjiu> [Oh, you mean me? What do you want?]
  26. Jun 14 12:36:14 <Melons> (Break the bit outside the quotes is headthunking)
  27. Jun 14 12:36:30 <Riona> oh sorry
  28. Jun 14 12:36:39 <Melons> (S'okay!)
  29. Jun 14 12:37:11 * Melons just stares flatly at Riona. "...n-no thanks...not r-right now..."
  30. Jun 14 12:37:26 <Melons> This next one might kill me. Or basically kill me. I'm not really sure, just be ready!
  31. Jun 14 12:37:36 <Riona> "Aww. :< You'd be good, though! Lots of star power, and you probably look great in a swimsuit!"
  32. Jun 14 12:38:05 * Melons is actually already wearing a Melkini! Not without some discomfort though...
  33. Jun 14 12:38:27 <Aori_Radidjiu> [S-so you want to go all the way, darling? O-okay~] She's stuttering on purpose.
  34. Jun 14 12:39:17 <Melons> Shut up... "Alright...well uh...see you...later...unless we sail off without you, I guess..." Mel starts heading for the amph(aros)itheater.
  35. Jun 14 12:40:08 * Riona promptly wanders off with the rest of Team ReSET for bikini shenanigans and the purchase of nearly-criminal amounts of glow paint.
  36. Jun 14 12:46:17 <Aori_Radidjiu> Melanie, as she heads toward the Amphitheater, bumps into Knox, Mayuri, and Mackenzie while walking along the docks.
  37. Jun 14 12:47:14 <Knox> Knox, for what it's worth between Mayu and Mack, briefly split off for a few minutes. Who knows where he was during that time? Not you guys. He might have even been sneaky enough to have not been noticed being gone at all. Whatever the case he's back now.
  38. Jun 14 12:47:18 <Melons> Odds are higher that Mack would bump into her!
  39. Jun 14 12:48:49 <Mackenzie> "Get any good watches to pawn off?" Doof into a melon. "Oh, uh, hey Melanie."
  40. Jun 14 12:49:53 * Mayuri waves to Mel~
  41. Jun 14 12:49:55 <Knox> "Like I'm going to draw that kind of attention right now."
  42. Jun 14 12:50:02 * Melons manages to keep from falling flat on her ass with a dorky looking handplant and scrambles back up to her feet. "N-NOTHING!...I...er...y...you didn't ask..."
  43. Jun 14 12:50:41 <Knox> "What are you on about now?"
  44. Jun 14 12:51:33 <Melons> "Um...they're...doing...uh...there's going to be a festival tonight apparently. The Firefly Festival! I'm...uh...p-preparing."
  45. Jun 14 12:53:43 <Knox> "Oh." ...
  46. Jun 14 12:53:55 <Knox> 1d6 Knoxtuition
  47. Jun 14 12:53:56 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, Knoxtuition: 1 [1d6=1]
  48. Jun 14 12:54:43 <Melons> Yep, she's totally preparing.
  49. Jun 14 12:54:53 <Aori_Radidjiu> There's going to be a festival tonight. The Firefly Festival. She's preparing.
  50. Jun 14 12:55:14 <Melons> "A-Anyway...I'll uh...come find you guys in a bit?...what are you guys doing?"
  51. Jun 14 12:55:19 <Aori_Radidjiu> [Straight back, stand up straight, take a deep breath (I can help with that), get some CONFIDENCE]
  52. Jun 14 12:56:03 <Mackenzie> "I dunno, really. What ARE we doing?"
  53. Jun 14 12:56:11 <Knox> "Just got done picking some shit up at the market, on my end. And just listening to locals blabbering. Fucking hard to pick up useful information in a tourist hotspot, I guess. The good info gets mixed into rubbish."
  54. Jun 14 12:56:25 <Melons> 6d6-2 Command seems like a logical roll for fixing one's posture, right?
  55. Jun 14 12:56:26 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Command seems like a logical roll for fixing one's posture, right?: 18 [6d6=3,6,5,1,1,4]
  56. Jun 14 12:57:27 <Mayuri> 4d6+4 I'm not so easy to fool. :o
  57. Jun 14 12:57:28 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, I'm not so easy to fool. :o: 13 [4d6=6,1,1,1]
  58. Jun 14 12:57:32 <Aori_Radidjiu> Fix it you do!
  59. Jun 14 12:57:34 <Aori_Radidjiu> Totally are.
  60. Jun 14 12:57:42 * Mayuri is fooled. ;-;
  61. Jun 14 12:58:30 <Knox> "Apparently Kanaloa's messengers like sacrifices, though, that might be handy at the rate we've been going." he shrugs. "Weather and wild pokemon starting to act up around the place, lots of women in the city getting bitchy."
  62. Jun 14 12:59:01 <Melons> "Well just pay attention. We can have fun of course, but we don't know if any of the Aether members fleeing from Jackknife took refuge here, since we didn't see any of the stock scientist sort at that base. And if locals go crazy and attack, RESTRAIN them."
  63. Jun 14 13:00:00 <Knox> "Yeah, yeah. I'm not going to kill anyone. Also, I've heard vaguely about kidnappings in the area, but not more details than that - so keep your eyes out."
  64. Jun 14 13:01:15 <Melons> "Our stowaways are..." Hm...suppose I shouldn't kill the fun... "...well just keep your hands at the level of your asses."
  65. Jun 14 13:01:27 <Knox> "Right now I'm just glad the mermaid paid for her own things."
  66. Jun 14 13:01:54 * Knox raises an eyebrow. "Well, fine. What the hell's there to do during this festival, anyway?"
  67. Jun 14 13:02:35 <Melons> "Mostly pretty light things and whatnot, I'm not a goddamn tour guide. Wait...is the mermaid out of the hospital?"
  68. Jun 14 13:03:13 <Mayuri> "Hun...?"
  69. Jun 14 13:03:15 <Knox> "Not when I last checked? She handed me some money to get her a dress and shit before we left."
  70. Jun 14 13:03:36 <Mayuri> "What do I have to do with covering butts?"
  71. Jun 14 13:03:50 <Melons> "Oh, that's all..." Melanie bends over a bit to address Mayuri. "Nothing, keep these two out of trouble for me, k?"
  72. Jun 14 13:04:25 <Knox> He snorts. "The kid is chaperoning the adults?"
  73. Jun 14 13:05:58 <Mayuri> "Well, I was thinking about taking you-- er... shopping somewhere."
  74. Jun 14 13:06:55 <Melons> "Good girl." Condascending head pat. Actually from Mel it probably isn't intended to be condascending, and it's obvious how the simple act of putting her palm on Mayuri's scalp is a little uncomfortable. "Alright, see ya in a bit." Abscond.
  75. Jun 14 13:07:12 <Knox> "Whatever you're doing for prep, make sure you find us later."
  76. Jun 14 13:07:16 <Aori_Radidjiu> Auriga follows after. "Um, bye!"
  77. Jun 14 13:08:06 <Knox> And then to Mayuri - "Already did my shopping when you and Mack weren't looking. I'm actually broke now." Funny, it doesn't look like he's gotten anything, and his dufflebag isn't bulging further.
  78. Jun 14 13:09:59 <Mackenzie> 2d6+1 don't be putting smart things in mack's head
  79. Jun 14 13:10:00 <DiceMaid-9001> Mackenzie, don't be putting smart things in mack's head: 4 [2d6=2,1]
  80. Jun 14 13:10:55 * Mayuri says to herself "Hmm... pirates are supposed to drink a lot and stuff, right?"
  81. Jun 14 13:10:57 * Knox glances up at - where did you say we stopped, Aori? In front of an amphitheater?
  82. Jun 14 13:11:26 <Mayuri> "Well... maybe we can see if there's a gift shop in that big place~"
  83. Jun 14 13:12:03 <Knox> (I'm pretty sure Aori was insinuating the cute contest is later tonight)
  84. Jun 14 13:12:08 <Knox> (Like, a scheduled event)
  85. Jun 14 13:12:26 <Aori_Radidjiu> Melanie was heading toward the Amphitheater, and you all bumped into her on her way there. If you all wish to follow, you can~
  86. Jun 14 13:12:29 * Mackenzie shrugs. "Maybe we can find a contest to do somewhere out here. That'd be fun."
  87. Jun 14 13:12:38 <Mackenzie> (Yeah, but people need to sign up for things that happen)
  88. Jun 14 13:12:47 <Mayuri> (Of course. But she's going to try and get people signed up.)
  89. Jun 14 13:12:52 <Melons> 4d6+3 Nofollowing
  90. Jun 14 13:12:54 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Nofollowing: 14 [4d6=1,3,6,1]
  91. Jun 14 13:13:51 <Aori_Radidjiu> There have been more than a FEW flyers around the town about the BIKINI contest and the CUTE contest happening later today at the Amphitheater
  92. Jun 14 13:14:05 <Knox> "Go get us some gifts then." he murmurs at Mayuri. He gives Mack a look but doesn't actually object like he normally would. Being broke does things to a man.
  93. Jun 14 13:14:55 <Knox> "We may as well look around and see what -interesting- things there are to do."
  94. Jun 14 13:15:07 <Knox> "I don't have high hopes."
  95. Jun 14 13:16:06 <Mayuri> "I'd call a tough pirate guy in a cute contest pretty interesting. For others..."
  96. Jun 14 13:17:31 <Knox> He briefly daydreams about ruining the contest with his manly prowess.
  97. Jun 14 13:18:03 <Mackenzie> "I'm not sure if 'tough' would really describe Knox in contest terms."
  98. Jun 14 13:18:56 <Knox> "What would, then?"
  99. Jun 14 13:19:12 <Knox> He gives Mack another look.
  100. Jun 14 13:19:14 <Mackenzie> "Technically, smart. ...Technically."
  101. Jun 14 13:19:34 <Knox> "Gee, thanks."
  102. Jun 14 13:20:55 <Aori_Radidjiu> This is the part where we briefly switch to Melanie! Auriga has finally managed to properly catch up with Mel now (she'd been running over while Melanie talked with the others) and is panting a little. "Y-you could've slowed down a little, you know!" The girl's bent over a little, hands on her knees, as she gets some air. "This the amphitheater?"
  103. Jun 14 13:22:15 <Melons> "Hm? Oh! You were...still...r-right...sorry...uh...presumably it is...you sure you didn't want to follow someone more...fun?"
  104. Jun 14 13:23:36 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Why wouldn't you be..." She blinks, then frowns. "I-I can go where I want, thank you!"
  105. Jun 14 13:24:20 <Melons> "Well that's...a weird way to get defensive." Blink. "Suit yourself, I suppose..." Mel looks around for buglines.
  106. Jun 14 13:25:45 <Aori_Radidjiu> There are three lines. One for Illumise, one for Volbeat, and one for people signing up for the BIKINI CONTEST, which is shorter and also hands out bugs.
  107. Jun 14 13:26:37 <Melons> ...goddamnit. "..y-you interested...in the bikini contest maybe?"
  108. Jun 14 13:26:54 <Melons> Suppose I can always feign asthma attack, right?
  109. Jun 14 13:27:17 <Aori_Radidjiu> [If it still intimidates you that much.]
  110. Jun 14 13:27:33 <Melons> I erm...just don't see the point...
  111. Jun 14 13:27:36 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Huh? Sure!" She perks up and goes in line. "I'm game if you are!"
  112. Jun 14 13:27:54 <Melons> Wait, did I just make an actual commitment? FUCK! Mel follows, defeated.
  113. Jun 14 13:31:08 <Aori_Radidjiu> After a little, you're given a short form to fill out, a numbered hairclip to wear for the contest (You're #27) and a Volbeat! Lv. 30, Male, Modest (+Atk -SAt) Nature, Illuminate, Confidence, Bug Buzz, Baton Pass
  114. Jun 14 13:31:28 <Melons> (You got Modest backwards)
  115. Jun 14 13:31:46 <Aori_Radidjiu> (+SAT -Atk)
  116. Jun 14 13:31:52 <Aori_Radidjiu> (THAT'S WHAT I MEANT SORRY)
  117. Jun 14 13:31:58 <Melons> (Not like it matters ultimately anyways!)
  118. Jun 14 13:32:43 <Melons> "Well I guess we wait...in the m- er..."
  119. Jun 14 13:32:58 <Melons> 4d6+4 "I have to...go to the...uh...b-bathroom." She basically whispers it.
  120. Jun 14 13:32:59 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, "I have to...go to the...uh...b-bathroom." She basically whispers it.: 15 [4d6=3,3,2,3]
  121. Jun 14 13:33:29 <Aori_Radidjiu> Auriga grabs an Illumise, and puts on her #28 hairclip. She blinks. "Um, sure! Dont' want to have to go during the contest!"
  122. Jun 14 13:33:53 <Aori_Radidjiu> She finds some part of the audience seating and sits down. "I'll be here!"
  123. Jun 14 13:34:32 <Melons> 3d6+4 Look for isolated places. If there are none, actually find a bathroom and make sure it's empty and the door can lock.
  124. Jun 14 13:34:33 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Look for isolated places. If there are none, actually find a bathroom and make sure it's empty and the door can lock.: 10 [3d6=1,3,2]
  125. Jun 14 13:37:43 <Aori_Radidjiu> This is a pretty busy place, but it has private bathrooms set up in the backstage of the Amphitheater (which is open, and some girls are using the dressing room to put on some makeup or style their hair).
  126. Jun 14 13:38:28 <Melons> 4d6+3 Bikini sneaking skills, I choose you, get to dat bat'room
  127. Jun 14 13:38:30 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Bikini sneaking skills, I choose you, get to dat bat'room: 9 [4d6=1,2,1,2]
  128. Jun 14 13:38:36 <Melons> Bikini sneaking skills, you are the worst.
  129. Jun 14 13:39:27 <Aori_Radidjiu> Some people notice you go in, but it's not like you seemed conspicuous or anything.
  130. Jun 14 13:41:09 <Melons> Melanie locks the door hurriedly, checking the room thoroughly for any signs of other living beings.
  131. Jun 14 13:41:29 <Aori_Radidjiu> This is a singular toilet stall, nobody else is in.
  132. Jun 14 13:43:19 * Melons starts unraveling toilet paper, carefully tearing pieces into winding shapes and placing them on the ground. Toilet paper comes from trees which is just as legit as dirt for this kind of thing!
  133. Jun 14 13:46:47 <Aori_Radidjiu> It doesn't take long to make a TP sigil
  134. Jun 14 13:47:05 <Melons> Mel glances at her butt paper mosaic mural, and gives it a melancholic nod of satisfaction.
  135. Jun 14 13:47:30 <Aori_Radidjiu> [Hmmm, so is this gonna' be our last conversation?]
  136. Jun 14 13:47:46 <Melons> ...suppose so.
  137. Jun 14 13:48:04 <Aori_Radidjiu> [I'm pretty excited, I have to say~. Let's go ahead with this, then!]
  138. Jun 14 13:48:16 <Melons> Patience! If I fuck up we both probably die...
  139. Jun 14 13:49:50 <Aori_Radidjiu> Back to the other three! I assume Mayuri has dragged Knox and Mack over to the Amphitheater?
  140. Jun 14 13:50:03 * Knox is walking like he's being marched off to die as they approach the lines.
  141. Jun 14 13:50:24 * Mayuri might have! Or possibly just came out with a sign-up ticket mysteriously labeled "Nicholas Knight"
  142. Jun 14 13:50:30 * Mackenzie is busy pretending he's observant enough to size up the potential competition
  143. Jun 14 13:50:32 <Mackenzie> 2d6+2
  144. Jun 14 13:50:33 <DiceMaid-9001> Mackenzie, 2d6+2: 5 [2d6=1,2]
  145. Jun 14 13:50:39 <Mackenzie> Thanks dice
  146. Jun 14 13:50:45 <Aori_Radidjiu> They uh. Sure look like people.
  147. Jun 14 13:51:35 * Knox looks for any indication of what sort of prizes are being handed out for this sort of thing. And what about the bikini contest, anyway? Is that even open to dudes?
  148. Jun 14 13:51:36 <Mayuri> 4d6+4 pfft
  149. Jun 14 13:51:37 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, pfft: 12 [4d6=4,2,1,1]
  150. Jun 14 13:51:54 <Knox> Probably not.
  151. Jun 14 13:54:03 * Ramiel is now known as Lesieli
  152. Jun 14 13:55:24 <Aori_Radidjiu> Nope, not open to dudes. Cute Contest is, though. There's a wide variety of people there, some girls in lacey dresses, some men in suave suits, and then there's this guy https://i.chzbgr.com/maxW500/7565128192/h18BB9C65/ hanging around.
  153. Jun 14 13:57:34 <Knox> "If there was ever a time to curse having a supernaturally high tolerance to alcohol, now is the fucking time."
  154. Jun 14 13:58:36 * Mayuri suspects the bikini contest isn't open to people younger than 16 or something either.
  155. Jun 14 14:00:39 <Aori_Radidjiu> Hanging out in the audience seating is Auriga, still in her bikini, as well as http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1081819 a familiar looking girl...oh. Right. Luna.
  156. Jun 14 14:01:02 <Aori_Radidjiu> You would be correct in assuming that!
  157. Jun 14 14:03:35 <Aori_Radidjiu> Luna seems to have just walked in. She has a white square hairclip with a "#4" written on it in black.
  158. Jun 14 14:05:39 <Mackenzie> (ROBOT)
  159. Jun 14 14:06:31 <Melons> (*Android)
  160. Jun 14 14:06:35 <Aori_Radidjiu> Auriga is currently wearing a similar one with #28 on it.
  161. Jun 14 14:07:11 <Mackenzie> (ROBOT)
  162. Jun 14 14:09:50 * Knox is still trying to figure out what kind of prizes they offer for this thing, Aori. Exact amounts aren't needed, what's the usual fare? Cash? TMs? Just dumb ribbons?
  163. Jun 14 14:10:21 <Aori_Radidjiu> Oh right, I'm dumb
  164. Jun 14 14:10:22 <Aori_Radidjiu> PRIZES
  165. Jun 14 14:11:00 <Aori_Radidjiu> They offer Cash for anyone who gets 3rd place or better, a single TM for anyone who participates, and a ribbon for first place.
  166. Jun 14 14:11:59 <Knox> Motherfuck. He grumbles. "Fine, I'm in." he signs up.
  167. Jun 14 14:13:06 <Knox> "Mackenzie, do me a favor?"
  168. Jun 14 14:13:16 <Aori_Radidjiu> It seems this is actually a series of contests, everyone gets put into a random pool with a few applicants and does a contest. There isn't a tournament or anything, you win your pool you get a ribbon. but you guys will all get shoved in the same one.
  169. Jun 14 14:13:34 <Mackenzie> "Oh, I thought you already were in. Well, congratulations, I suppose?" Wonder if he's going overboard in trying to be casual with Knox by pouring on sarcasm. "What's up?"
  170. Jun 14 14:14:34 <Knox> "My epitaph, I want it to be, 'Here lies Knox. His biggest contribution to the medical community was proving you can literally die of shame."
  171. Jun 14 14:15:06 <Aori_Radidjiu> For ranking purposes, a ribbon won from this contest counts as the lowest rank of cute you don't have.
  172. Jun 14 14:16:20 <Mackenzie> "Do you not have faith in your pokemon?"
  173. Jun 14 14:16:47 <Aori_Radidjiu> So if Mayuri wins, it'll count as a Hyper rank ribbon, while for anyone else it'll count as a Normal rank ribbon.
  174. Jun 14 14:17:14 <Knox> "I think you're completely missing the point. It's not my pokemon I'm concerned with."
  175. Jun 14 14:18:22 <Knox> "Well, whatever. Nothing to do but wait until this I guess." He heads off to grab an Illumise, surprisingly, from the bugline.
  176. Jun 14 14:20:26 <Aori_Radidjiu> Illumise is Lv. 30, Female (of course), Mild (+SAt -Def) nature, Tinted Lens, Aroma Veil, Bug Buzz, Baton Pass
  177. Jun 14 14:21:07 <Knox> Hnngh
  178. Jun 14 14:22:01 <Aori_Radidjiu> (Oh, huh, Bug Buzz is Cute!)
  179. Jun 14 14:22:14 <Aori_Radidjiu> (As is Baton Pass!)
  180. Jun 14 14:22:42 <Mackenzie> Mack shrugs. "i guess he doesn't get it yet." After he's left.
  181. Jun 14 14:23:54 <Mayuri> "It can't possibly be that bad. I mean, it's not like we're putting a fake chest on you and putting you in the bikini costume."
  182. Jun 14 14:29:24 <Aori_Radidjiu> Luna, at this point, notices you all and walks over. "Oh, hello! Fancy us meeting up again!" She looks around. "Uh, where's Med and Melanie?"
  183. Jun 14 14:30:59 <Mayuri> contest*
  184. Jun 14 14:31:01 * Knox has returned and gives an odd look at Mayuri. "...Don't even think I could pass as a chick." and then to Luna. "...Oh. You again. Melanie's somewhere around here. Med's off being Med, probably halfway across the region. She's not traveling with us anymore."
  185. Jun 14 14:31:34 * Mayuri waves to Luna~
  186. Jun 14 14:32:23 <Mackenzie> "Oh well. In the end, it's all the same as a battle, anyway. Just a matter of your pokemon, your trust, and your bond." He notices a Luna. "Oh, hello again." Not sure what else he's to say, after Knox said the things.
  187. Jun 14 14:32:29 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Oh, well that's fine!" She claps her hands. "I'm gonna' be in both of the contests later, and then I'm performing an exorcism after all of that~! If any of you are interested, I can give you the location before it gets swarmed by my fans!"
  188. Jun 14 14:32:53 <Knox> "An exorcism? Nearby?" that actually catches his interest.
  189. Jun 14 14:32:58 <Knox> "Alright, I'll bite. Where?"
  190. Jun 14 14:34:32 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Do you have a map? I can draw on it, but either way, towards the east of town, there's an abandoned oil rig, bit of a pain to get to, but I've heard it was shut down because it got haunted! So I'm going to drive whatever it is out tonight!"
  191. Jun 14 14:35:10 <Mayuri> "Uhm... what if it's just a Clefairy infestation or something..."
  192. Jun 14 14:35:49 <Knox> He hrms. "...Dunno if we'll be passing that way, but sure." he get hands her a map. He briefly wonders if there's any loot worth mentioning in an abandoned oil rig...
  193. Jun 14 14:35:59 <Knox> *he hands her
  194. Jun 14 14:36:57 <Aori_Radidjiu> There's one other familiar girl in the area, although she's fully dressed, only Mackenzie would really recognize her. It's Eileen, she seems a little flustered and is jotting some notes down, looking around the area near the Amphitheater. Luna continues. "Clefairy are cute, but they're the most devilish pranksters! They'll need to be taught a lesson some way or another!" She marks
  195. Jun 14 14:36:57 <Aori_Radidjiu> where it is on the map. "I'll be doing it at about 11:30, I'm hoping to finish right as the fireworks come on!"
  196. Jun 14 14:37:55 <Knox> "We'll see. No promises. Good luck or whatever."
  197. Jun 14 14:38:09 <Aori_Radidjiu> She winks. "Thanks~!"
  198. Jun 14 14:38:18 * Mayuri crosses her arms. "I thought you only messed with ghosts."
  199. Jun 14 14:38:43 <Knox> "Listening comprehension. She thinks it's ghosts, but she'll take care of it whatever it is."
  200. Jun 14 14:39:23 <Aori_Radidjiu> She turns to Mayuri. "I mess with troublemakers, and Ghosts and Dark and Fairy pokemon are the most common troublemakers! Usually it's Ghosts or Dark, but I can deal with Fairies too!"
  201. Jun 14 14:39:54 * Mackenzie notices something?! Whoa. Also blah blah blah exorcisms. Mack gets distracted and wanders off to go see Eileen. "Good afternoon, miss. Fancy seeing you here."
  202. Jun 14 14:40:33 <Aori_Radidjiu> Eileen turns a nice shade of red. "O-o-o-oh, Mackenzie!" She's visibly shaking with excitement. "N-nice to see you here!"
  203. Jun 14 14:40:58 <Mayuri> "I thought you were a fairy person yourself..."
  204. Jun 14 14:41:25 <Mackenzie> "What are you up to today? You certainly seem busy."
  205. Jun 14 14:42:38 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I'm a-actually here on work! I've made some sculptures for the Amphitheater, and I'm figuring out the best place to place them and whatnot. T-they'll be place tonight after the Cute Contests..."
  206. Jun 14 14:44:23 <Aori_Radidjiu> Luna balls up one hand into a fist and punches it into her other, which catches it. "They're my favorites, but that's why I know how bad they can get! I don't give special treatment to Fairies."
  207. Jun 14 14:47:03 * Mayuri crosses her arms and does a :T at Luna. "I don't think they ever get bad enough to deserve exorcism. However you exorcise things that aren't ghosts..."
  208. Jun 14 14:47:51 <Mackenzie> "Ah, interesting. Gonna be around for the contest, or too busy getting ready?"
  209. Jun 14 14:49:12 <Aori_Radidjiu> Luna shakes her head. "You don't know how many times I've had to find rogue Klefki that have locked people out of things, or had to deal with violent Mawile, or had to deal with Swirlix that were eating all of a candy factory's stock!"
  210. Jun 14 14:50:05 * Mayuri blinks, looks at Ria, and looks back
  211. Jun 14 14:50:19 <Mayuri> "Uh... oh right..."
  212. Jun 14 14:50:32 <Aori_Radidjiu> Luna grins. "Right."
  213. Jun 14 14:51:08 <Aori_Radidjiu> Eileen sputters a little. "Y-yes, I'll be sticking around. I considered entering the bikini contest...but I um...I don't look very good in one..."
  214. Jun 14 14:56:26 <Aori_Radidjiu> Luna's eyes widen. "Oh. You just reminded me...of that time with the Mimes..." She shudders. "Somanywalls..."
  215. Jun 14 14:58:35 <Aori_Radidjiu> Lesieli! While you're in the Amphitheater, a Delibird flies in and lands right in front of you, rummaging through its sack, and it hands two packages to you! Eviolites acquired!
  216. Jun 14 14:58:43 <Knox> Knox is just standing off to the side, listening to all this mess.
  217. Jun 14 14:59:02 <Lesieli> Well that's a dedicated deliveryman . . . birdf
  218. Jun 14 14:59:27 <Mackenzie> "Oh come on, now. I figured you of all people would know that competitions are about competing, not winning or losing. As long as you're yourself, the people will love you." He smiles a little. "That's ultimately what pokemon battles and such are about, too. Power is one thing, but it's heart that wins fights."
  219. Jun 14 15:01:44 <Aori_Radidjiu> She turns red and gets up, smiling. "O-okay then, I will!" She runs off to register.
  220. Jun 14 15:01:55 <Aori_Radidjiu> SWITCH TO MELANIE!
  221. Jun 14 15:02:55 <Melons> Melanie makes a few adjustments to the glyph and scans the room. She frowns at the door, snagging some paper towels and stuffing them into its cracks. Is she really going to murder something in a bathroom?...well it's not really murder...she has nothing against the Volbeat, it just harbors great power. And it's helping promote the stability of the world, greater good stuff, right? ...fuck, didn't bring that knife...this...this i
  222. Jun 14 15:02:55 <Melons> s going to get messy. Well...at least it's a bug. And not steel.
  223. Jun 14 15:02:55 <Melons> She takes a few deep breaths. Solemnly, she pulls out the Volbeat's pokeball and takes one last gulp of air. She releases the firefly in the middle of the sigil and, hardly giving it time to materialize, pounces upon it, clamping her hands down on its mouth and head. Aided by telekinetic force, she struggles to crush its head while simultaneously keeping it silent. Burning tears begin to well up, but just as quickly are halted b
  224. Jun 14 15:02:55 <Melons> y the amusing realization that she's killing a bug all wrong, you're supposed to use the toilet paper to smoosh it so it DOESN'T get on your hands! She clings to the feeling greedily, fearing what may happen if she loses it.
  225. Jun 14 15:04:52 <Aori_Radidjiu> The bug struggles in your grip, squirming a bit, before eventually going limp.
  226. Jun 14 15:05:02 <Aori_Radidjiu> [Not bad, not bad at all!]
  227. Jun 14 15:05:35 <Melons> Aiming to end this swiftly, she chomps down hard on the back side of her index finger, and immediately stuffs a rolled up wad of toilet paper in her mouth to bite on. The pain of drawing blood so coarsely forces the pent up tears to cascade down, mixing with the blood as it drops to the soiled sigil. Immediately, the gross bug blood soaked in the toilet paper arcs up through the falling blood like lightning, lancing back into th
  228. Jun 14 15:05:35 <Melons> e wound and forcing Melanie to the ground with a muffled cry. It too forces its way through her veins, tracing its way to her posterior, which emits an eerie glow, leaving an occult tramp stamp. The marks depict a pair of widespread insect wings that reach out to her hips, with glaring eyespots near their tips. A pair of curling antennae sprout just above the wings, snaking their way out towards her hips before spiraling down he
  229. Jun 14 15:05:35 <Melons> r legs, smearing more as they descend, leaving what look like short trails of blood hanging off each layer of the spiral. As before, the marks sear hot as a brand into her flesh, leaving Mel to bite harder on the toilet paper, which has already begun breaking apart in her mouth. Gross, should have looked for a real towel. At the height of her pain, she begs her other self desperately to share it all, though the only physical sou
  230. Jun 14 15:05:35 <Melons> nds are some very pained grunts and whimpers. The tattoos, including the previous ones, glow a vibrant neon red for a few seconds before returning to their iron red color.
  231. Jun 14 15:08:53 <Aori_Radidjiu> [Of course, I'm much obliged!] And then you two were one. There's a melding of experience, memories of long time spent wandering darkness, the exuberance at finding something to communicate with, the joys of experiencing reality for the first time, all of that wrapped up in a single moment for you as it's thrust in to you. And then I think you can flavor the rest of that however you
  232. Jun 14 15:08:53 <Aori_Radidjiu> want.
  233. Jun 14 15:14:56 <Melons> After horrible pain became horrible fear became horrible j- oh...er...wonderful joy...whatever, after that overwhelming eternity passes, Melanie picks herself off the floor and stares around in amazement. Lights are brighter, shadows are darker, everything feels...new again, vibrant. Even the gross wads of toilet paper in her mouth are more strange than gag-worthy, though she spits them out nonetheless. Even the strong smells, e
  234. Jun 14 15:14:56 <Melons> ither bodily or artificial floral, of a bathroom are...intriguing. OH THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU....oh...I guess...it really is empty now...huh...oh...I should clean this up...Melanie grabs up all of the toilet paper and tosses it in the trash, flushes the toilet, washes her hands, and l- oh, gross, bug blood. She makes sure to wash THAT off before leaving to return to her peeps.
  235. Jun 14 15:18:26 <Aori_Radidjiu> Despite there being no more voice in your head, there's a sort of duality of self, another part of you that you distinctly feel like is being hidden away and that you could pull out whenever you want to.
  236. Jun 14 15:19:53 * castfromhp has quit (Connection reset by peer)
  237. Jun 14 15:23:56 <Knox> CONTESTS?
  238. Jun 14 15:24:20 <Aori_Radidjiu> And of course, there's a latent desire to do something....Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuughtyyyy
  239. Jun 14 15:24:34 <Melons> Technically that was already there.
  240. Jun 14 15:26:02 <Aori_Radidjiu> Anyway, a little while later, the BIKINI CONTEST starts up!
  241. Jun 14 15:26:21 * castfromhp (castfromhp@sux-785131EB.hsd1.il.comcast.net) has joined
  242. Jun 14 15:26:21 <Aori_Radidjiu> Melanie, Auriga, and Luna have all signed up, but who else has?
  243. Jun 14 15:26:41 <Knox> Certainly not Knox.
  244. Jun 14 15:27:19 <Mayuri> Certainly not Mayuri.
  245. Jun 14 15:28:34 <Lesieli> I probably signed up without even realizing it.
  246. Jun 14 15:30:16 <Mackenzie> 6d6+2 build up a hype crowd specifically for Eileen, searching for girls of poor self-esteem and the like to root for her
  247. Jun 14 15:30:16 <DiceMaid-9001> Mackenzie, build up a hype crowd specifically for Eileen, searching for girls of poor self-esteem and the like to root for her: 31 [6d6=3,3,5,6,6,6]
  248. Jun 14 15:30:23 <Mackenzie> >666
  249. Jun 14 15:30:38 <Melons> Satan confirmed.
  250. Jun 14 15:30:54 <Aori_Radidjiu> Luna is first up out of the people we know! She walks up and gives a demure smile to the crowd with a finger to her lips, still looking like http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1081819 (she changed her contacts backstage at some point, she apparently has a hard time tolerating them for a while) and waves as she approaches the mic! "Hey everybody!"
  251. Jun 14 15:31:04 <Aori_Radidjiu> 6d6+3 DAT CHARM
  252. Jun 14 15:31:05 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, DAT CHARM: 27 [6d6=6,2,3,3,5,5]
  253. Jun 14 15:31:09 * Knox plops himself into the crowd and sits like http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120916212201/elderscrolls/images/e/ed/Jarl2.png
  254. Jun 14 15:32:48 <Aori_Radidjiu> "It's your idol, Magical Luna~! I'm here to exorcise any doubts that this festival won't be loads of fun, and I hope that you all come to watch me later when I face off against the Oceanic Oil Octopus or whatever I have to fight!"
  255. Jun 14 15:32:54 <Aori_Radidjiu> 6d6+3 again, dat charm
  256. Jun 14 15:32:54 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, again, dat charm: 28 [6d6=4,6,3,4,2,6]
  257. Jun 14 15:34:03 <Aori_Radidjiu> Finally, she gives the crowd a wink and uses a Dazzling Gleam to coat the area with pink sparkles!
  258. Jun 14 15:34:11 <Aori_Radidjiu> 6d6+3 what do you think she's rolling.
  259. Jun 14 15:34:12 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, what do you think she's rolling.: 23 [6d6=3,3,2,6,3,3]
  260. Jun 14 15:35:38 <Aori_Radidjiu> The judges confer with each other, and give her a 9.8 out of 10! Not bad!
  261. Jun 14 15:35:52 <Aori_Radidjiu> Next up is...after a good number of girls, #27, Melanie Ipu.
  262. Jun 14 15:37:06 <Melons> Melanie saunters out on stage, though it seems mostly for her own amusement than showing off. As she steps into position, she becomes overawed by the crowd, watching them watch her with fascination. She's fascinated, they're not. Well they might be, she's not psychic. Well she is but I already used this joke before. Wait, what's going on again?
  263. Jun 14 15:37:09 <Melons> 1d6-2 MY MIGHTY CHARM
  264. Jun 14 15:37:11 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, MY MIGHTY CHARM: 2 [1d6=4]
  265. Jun 14 15:37:20 <Aori_Radidjiu> Don't forget your melkini bonus
  266. Jun 14 15:37:41 <Melons> Oh right that is a thing...
  267. Jun 14 15:38:02 <Melons> 1d6+3+2 Adds one rank and static +3, 2 from the previous roll
  268. Jun 14 15:38:04 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Adds one rank and static +3, 2 from the previous roll: 9 [1d6=4]
  269. Jun 14 15:38:54 <Aori_Radidjiu> There's a bunch of polite applause as you come on stage. They dont' seem to hate you, but they're not going all over it.
  270. Jun 14 15:40:34 <Aori_Radidjiu> Now for the speech!
  271. Jun 14 15:41:29 <Melons> After being slightly distracted, she snatches up the microphone. "Oh, hi, I'm Melanie Ipu. I'm from Snowpoint. And...honestly I'm just here so the girl after me won't think I'm a complete flake and dork. A Flork, if you will. You should vote for her, she's the kind of cute you're afraid to touch because it might literally combust! Also I've probably totally thrown her off her game, so be nice, it's bad enough she has to compete
  272. Jun 14 15:41:29 <Melons> with the Queen of Diabetes you saw earlier."
  273. Jun 14 15:41:35 <Melons> 6d6-2 DO AS I COMMAND
  274. Jun 14 15:41:36 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, DO AS I COMMAND: 20 [6d6=2,5,4,1,5,5]
  275. Jun 14 15:42:03 <Aori_Radidjiu> You can't see it, but Auriga is turning bright red behind the stage
  276. Jun 14 15:50:03 <Knox> Knox snickers a bit. He's surprised Mel entered at all. Girl must have found a dealer.
  277. Jun 14 15:50:49 <Melons> Melanie thinks for a moment and looks down at her Twirl Shoes, sparking a grin. She holds up a finger and a will-o-wisp appears from the end of it, dancing in place. She alights a few more and takes a few steps back, readying herself for a spin. As she winds up, her tattoos begin to glow bright red and the wisps begin to orbit her, faster and faster. Once they start to blur, creating a small, fiery vortex, she releases the Razor
  278. Jun 14 15:50:49 <Melons> Wind (with a little telekinetic help). The burst of air causes the vortex to erupt into the air in the image of an angry Gyarados, launching into the sky before quickly fizzling out.
  279. Jun 14 15:51:00 <Melons> 6d6+3 Acro; 6d6+4 Occult
  280. Jun 14 15:51:01 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Acro: 25 [6d6=3,5,3,5,3,3]; Occult: 20 [6d6=4,3,3,3,2,1]
  281. Jun 14 15:51:13 <Aori_Radidjiu> Average 22.5!
  282. Jun 14 15:51:51 <Aori_Radidjiu> The judges confer for a bit, and.....
  283. Jun 14 15:52:13 <Aori_Radidjiu> Melanie gets a 7.2!
  284. Jun 14 15:53:09 * Melons shrugs and just hops off the front of the stage to go sit with people she knows. That's probably poor form, oh well.
  285. Jun 14 15:53:34 <Aori_Radidjiu> Auriga, #28, is up next, she's bright red, but she takes in a deeeep breath and gives the crowd a smile, putting up a peace sign. "Hi~!"
  286. Jun 14 15:54:00 * Mackenzie is probably down toward the front along with anyone he might have recruited for the hype team. You bet your ass he's gonna use his star power to influence the judges!
  287. Jun 14 15:54:06 <Aori_Radidjiu> 6d6+2+10 MELCOMMAND BONUS
  288. Jun 14 15:54:07 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, MELCOMMAND BONUS: 32 [6d6=5,2,3,1,5,4]
  289. Jun 14 15:54:29 <Knox> "Your stunt was better than Luna's, but whatever." He's probably somewhere nearby Mack and Mayuri so Mel can find them easily.
  290. Jun 14 15:54:42 <Aori_Radidjiu> The crowd goes wild! There's a flurry of applause as she clears her throat and begins to speak.
  291. Jun 14 15:55:05 <Melons> "Not like I was aiming to win." Her leg tattoos would be p. fucking conspicuous.
  292. Jun 14 15:55:52 <Knox> "Nice tats." he glances down at her legs, not even hiding it.
  293. Jun 14 15:56:13 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I have to give that Melanie credit for setting me up, she's a really good friend, but I have to let you all know not to hold back on me. I-if I find out any of you were holding back on judging me I'll find you and kill you myself." She glares at the judges, then turns to the crowd, a smile back on her face. "And that's how it is!"
  294. Jun 14 15:56:15 <Melons> Also I guess the tramp stamp since she IS in a bikini... "Nice fumes."
  295. Jun 14 15:56:24 <Aori_Radidjiu> 6d6+4 INTIMIDATE
  296. Jun 14 15:56:24 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, INTIMIDATE: 24 [6d6=6,3,4,2,3,2]
  297. Jun 14 15:56:58 <Melons> "Told you she was cute..."
  298. Jun 14 15:57:07 <Mayuri> "Uhm...." o.o
  299. Jun 14 15:57:19 <Knox> "I'm starting to like her."
  300. Jun 14 15:57:39 <Aori_Radidjiu> 6d6+4 She grins, then spreads her arms wide before CLAPPING THEM TOGETHER, A GIGANTIC EXPLOSION OF FLAME popping up behind her. "I mean it, too!"
  301. Jun 14 15:57:40 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, She grins, then spreads her arms wide before CLAPPING THEM TOGETHER, A GIGANTIC EXPLOSION OF FLAME popping up behind her. "I mean it, too!": 34 [6d6=6,4,4,6,4,6]
  302. Jun 14 15:58:48 <Aori_Radidjiu> The judges turn pale, before huddling together and then putting up a 10.0 card with the first 0 scribbled out to have a 1! 11 out of 10!
  303. Jun 14 15:59:38 <Knox> "Looks like you gave her some confidence, anyway." Even he's impressed.
  304. Jun 14 15:59:53 * Melons gains +1 Leadership. Or would if that were a thing. Maybe.
  305. Jun 14 16:00:36 <Aori_Radidjiu> After a few contestants, someone calls in #56, Eileen Ivers. There's a pause, before Eileen walks on stage http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1228276
  306. Jun 14 16:00:52 * Mackenzie releases Veronica, and leans down to whisper to her. "When Eileen comes out, let's get the sun shining real brightly for her to flourish in, alright? Let's go all out with this, for her."
  307. Jun 14 16:01:30 * Knox makes a face but says nothing. Girl needs to cut down on the chocolates.
  308. Jun 14 16:01:56 * Melons is busy comparing.
  309. Jun 14 16:02:10 <Aori_Radidjiu> Yep, she's larger.
  310. Jun 14 16:02:11 <Mayuri> "Auriga can be a bit scarier than I imagined..." o.o
  311. Jun 14 16:02:40 <Knox> "What's wrong with being scary?"
  312. Jun 14 16:02:48 * Melons frowns.
  313. Jun 14 16:03:37 <Aori_Radidjiu> Eileen walks in and a crowd and a burst of sunlight come in, her face turning a little red. She pauses for a bit, before waving to the audience.
  314. Jun 14 16:03:54 <Aori_Radidjiu> 3d6+3+15.5 CHEERSQUAD BONUS
  315. Jun 14 16:03:54 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, CHEERSQUAD BONUS: 37 [3d6=5,5,4]
  316. Jun 14 16:04:38 <Aori_Radidjiu> There's a whole squad of people rallied by Mackenzie to cheer for her. "Ei~leen~! Ei~leen~! Ei~leen~!"
  317. Jun 14 16:05:12 <Melons> "I lean, you lean, we all lean for ice cream. Although some of us not as much."
  318. Jun 14 16:05:22 <Mackenzie> ohgodithinkshe'sgoingtogushaboutmeandi'mgoingtohavetoanswertoknoxaboutthisijustknowit
  319. Jun 14 16:06:06 <Knox> As Mel says some of what he was thinking, a bit of a smirk comes to his face.
  320. Jun 14 16:06:59 <Aori_Radidjiu> She fumbles with the mic a bit before putting it to her mouth. "T-thank you everyone for your support, I c-couldn't have done this without all of you behind me. I'm...not who you traditionally would want in a bikini contest, I know, but it's all worth it for all the love you're giving me." She chokes a little. "T-thank you so much!" She's crying, a little.
  321. Jun 14 16:07:05 <Aori_Radidjiu> 3d6+3 Charm
  322. Jun 14 16:07:06 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, Charm: 10 [3d6=2,2,3]
  323. Jun 14 16:07:11 * Lecia (Hissori@B13D49D1.97983050.5F3D2770.IP) has joined
  324. Jun 14 16:07:21 <Mackenzie> Let me help her with that.
  325. Jun 14 16:07:34 <Mackenzie> (reroll with +6)
  326. Jun 14 16:07:40 <Aori_Radidjiu> 3d6+3+6
  327. Jun 14 16:07:40 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, 3d6+3+6: 17 [3d6=2,4,2]
  328. Jun 14 16:08:31 <Aori_Radidjiu> She sees you in the crowd and smiles. "I'm glad I came here!"
  329. Jun 14 16:08:47 <Aori_Radidjiu> Then she closes her eyes. "And now, for my performance..."
  330. Jun 14 16:09:06 <Melons> "Should probably have the paramedics ready."
  331. Jun 14 16:09:08 * Hissori has quit (Ping timeout)
  332. Jun 14 16:09:28 <Mayuri> "Might be magical though. Like... uh..."
  333. Jun 14 16:09:39 * Mayuri tries to remember how many people in this contest made supernatural preformances
  334. Jun 14 16:11:01 <Melons> 3d6+3 Mel glares at Eileen through the whole performance, hoping to make eye contact at least once.
  335. Jun 14 16:11:03 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Mel glares at Eileen through the whole performance, hoping to make eye contact at least once.: 9 [3d6=2,1,3]
  336. Jun 14 16:11:04 <Knox> He just watches, confident that while she'll perform well, she's not outdoing Auriga.
  337. Jun 14 16:12:52 <Aori_Radidjiu> 4d6+3+10 [REDACTED] Bonus. She starts humming a melody, in absolutely perfect pitch, and progresses to giving out a harmonic series of "La"s, causing everyone in the crowd...to get a little...pleasantly...drowsy...and then she adruptly stops (before it feels like the song is properly over) with a "OH! Yes, that's my performance, I'm done! Thank you everyone!" She's a special
  338. Jun 14 16:12:52 <Aori_Radidjiu> shade of red as she runs off the stage.
  339. Jun 14 16:12:53 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, [REDACTED] Bonus. She starts humming a melody, in absolutely perfect pitch, and progresses to giving out a harmonic series of "La"s, causing everyone in the crowd...to get a little...pleasantly...drowsy...and then she adruptly stops (before it feels like the song is properly over) with a "OH! Yes, that's my performance, I'm done! Thank you everyone!" She's a special: 34 [4d6=4,5,6,6]
  340. Jun 14 16:13:52 * Knox shakes his head. What? He rubs his face a bit.
  341. Jun 14 16:14:04 <Aori_Radidjiu> She gets a 10 OUT OF 10, and a series of applause after everyone's woken up by her little speech at the end.
  342. Jun 14 16:14:04 <Knox> 4d6 Occult was that just a Sing?
  343. Jun 14 16:14:05 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, Occult was that just a Sing?: 18 [4d6=1,6,5,6]
  344. Jun 14 16:14:26 <Aori_Radidjiu> Definitely not.
  345. Jun 14 16:14:40 <Melons> 6d6+4 I can pretend I know
  346. Jun 14 16:14:40 <Mayuri> 5d6+3 What, Knox doing occult rolls?
  347. Jun 14 16:14:41 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, What, Knox doing occult rolls?: 20 [5d6=2,2,5,6,2]
  348. Jun 14 16:14:41 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, I can pretend I know: 23 [6d6=5,6,1,2,3,2]
  349. Jun 14 16:15:19 <Aori_Radidjiu> Again, that seems to be a lot more than something a normal human could manage.
  350. Jun 14 16:15:30 <Knox> ..."Huh."
  351. Jun 14 16:15:43 <Knox> Knox is a little suspicious, but lets it go.
  352. Jun 14 16:17:02 <Aori_Radidjiu> Next up...#72, Lesieli Keli'i!
  353. Jun 14 16:17:10 <Melons> "...wait, what?"
  354. Jun 14 16:17:21 <Knox> "...Well this should be good."
  355. Jun 14 16:17:37 * Knox casts Summon Greater Popcorn. ...Seriously where did that popcorn come from?
  356. Jun 14 16:18:05 * Lesieli is shoved onstage, no idea what is going on "Wait, what? What is this?"
  357. Jun 14 16:20:54 <Lesieli> 2d6+1 Utterly confused like a helpless sheep caught in the headlights, but maybe that's kinda moe? Oh and yeah, that pic linked earlier is perfect.
  358. Jun 14 16:20:55 <DiceMaid-9001> Lesieli, Utterly confused like a helpless sheep caught in the headlights, but maybe that's kinda moe? Oh and yeah, that pic linked earlier is perfect.: 13 [2d6=6,6]
  359. Jun 14 16:22:25 <Knox> A popping noise can faaaintly be heard from Knox's dufflebag, which is also emitting a buttery smell.
  360. Jun 14 16:22:53 * Melons emits a Mel smell
  361. Jun 14 16:22:53 <Knox> He munches on his own bag in the meantime.
  362. Jun 14 16:23:29 <Aori_Radidjiu> http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=380537 relink for convenience
  363. Jun 14 16:25:24 <Melons> "She's...going to do something really stupid isn't she."
  364. Jun 14 16:26:36 <Knox> "Incoming national incident."
  365. Jun 14 16:28:29 <Knox> Knox digs into his dufflebag and... shifts the Knox Buster into view, which is a bit red hot on the inside of the hollow "shot" area. Tucked into that crevice is a freshly popped bag of popcorn. The Knox buster quietly vents some steam out of the dufflebag to cool off and Knox offers the fresh bag to Melanie. "You'll probably need this when I go up there to make a damn fool of myself
  366. Jun 14 16:28:29 <Knox> for money and prizes."
  367. Jun 14 16:29:14 <Mayuri> "You need to win third place, you know."
  368. Jun 14 16:29:34 * Melons accepts it. With her mind of course, that shit is probably painfully hot.
  369. Jun 14 16:30:18 <Knox> "Yeah, well, we'll see. I can't believe I'm actually going to fucking do this either."
  370. Jun 14 16:30:57 <Knox> "Desperate wallets call for desperate measures."
  371. Jun 14 16:31:49 * Melons shrugs. "There's always prostitution."
  372. Jun 14 16:32:34 <Mayuri> "Don't you have that Mawile?"
  373. Jun 14 16:33:06 <Knox> "You could join me. We'd make a killing." he jokes.
  374. Jun 14 16:33:09 <Knox> "Yeah, but I won't be using Fangs."
  375. Jun 14 16:33:33 <Melons> "Oh, killing would also be an option." But is SHE joking?
  376. Jun 14 16:35:02 <Knox> Whether or not he believes it to be is anyone's guess!
  377. Jun 14 16:36:45 * Lesieli Soo many people, Les is completely off guard. She hasn't been caught in front of this many people since, since . . . well, since before she joined Pirates. It's almost too much to deal with-
  378. Jun 14 16:36:49 * Lesieli until something inside her head snaps. Suddenly all the nervousness, all the timidness, it just disappears completely, replaced with a countenance of pure command and detemination. Les struts forward to the front of the stage, mike in hand, and slams her right foot down in front.
  379. Jun 14 16:36:53 * Hissori (Hissori@B13D49D1.97983050.5F3D2770.IP) has joined
  380. Jun 14 16:37:05 <Lesieli> "ALL RIGHT YOU PEOPLE, LISTEN UP! MY NAME IS MELE, AND I'M NOT JUST SOME LITTLE SCHOOLGIRL. I AM A GOD, AND I'M HERE TO RESTORE THIS LAND TO ITS PROPER GLORY! ARE YOU TIRED OF THE LACK OF FAITH AND UNBELIEF SO PREVALENT IN THE PRESENT DAY? OF HOW OUR GLORIOUS CULTURAL HERITAGE HAS BEEN MARGINALIZED BY THOSE IMPERIALIST KANTO DOGS? WELL NO MORE! I'M HERE TO CHANGE ALL THAT!"
  381. Jun 14 16:37:11 <Lesieli> Godmode Activated
  382. Jun 14 16:37:16 <Lesieli> "SO WHO'S WITH ME?"
  383. Jun 14 16:37:22 <Melons> "I hate her."
  384. Jun 14 16:37:38 <Mayuri> "Did she.. really." o.o
  385. Jun 14 16:37:44 <Aori_Radidjiu> r-roll intimidation or command or whatever you're using
  386. Jun 14 16:37:45 * Knox popcorns.
  387. Jun 14 16:37:53 <Lesieli> "YOU" She points to the first judge "ORGANIZE THE PEOPLE. A GOD MUST HAVE FAITH, AND FOR THAT SHE MUST HAVE A SHRINE. WE SHALL BEGIN OUR REVIVAL BY BUILDING A NEW SHRINE, HERE, IN THIS VERY SQUARE, FOR MYSELF AND ALL THE GREAT GODS OF WAKINO. NOW LET US START"
  388. Jun 14 16:37:55 * Lecia has quit (Ping timeout)
  389. Jun 14 16:38:05 <Lesieli> 2d6+1 They're the same roll
  390. Jun 14 16:38:06 <DiceMaid-9001> Lesieli, They're the same roll: 8 [2d6=3,4]
  391. Jun 14 16:38:14 <Knox> "I don't know, this is pretty entertaining."
  392. Jun 14 16:38:24 <Aori_Radidjiu> There's a stunned silence.
  393. Jun 14 16:38:33 <Aori_Radidjiu> AND NOW FOR YOUR TALENT!
  394. Jun 14 16:38:55 <Aori_Radidjiu> There's a few chuckles in the crowd
  395. Jun 14 16:39:01 <Lesieli> What do you mean. Everyone should be getting busy now, no time for that
  396. Jun 14 16:39:28 <Melons> "We should probably just tell them who we work for while we're at it, but make sure they promise not to reveal our secret."
  397. Jun 14 16:39:54 * Melons looks for something to throw.
  398. Jun 14 16:40:10 <Knox> Melanie has a bag of popcorn. Shall she waste it?
  399. Jun 14 16:40:16 <Melons> Popcorn doesn't throw well.
  400. Jun 14 16:40:48 * Lesieli just stares at the silent crowd "What, what's wrong? Need some help?"
  401. Jun 14 16:41:18 <Melons> "..." Mel cups her hands over her mouth and yells. "Looks like you need some help!"
  402. Jun 14 16:41:37 <Aori_Radidjiu> There's a chorus of laughter at that.
  403. Jun 14 16:41:42 * Mayuri taps the button on the Pokeball she got from Lesieli, so a little Castform pops out~
  404. Jun 14 16:42:05 <Mayuri> "You can use Rain Dance, right?"
  405. Jun 14 16:42:08 * Mackenzie is honestly and seriously looking out for something bad to happen after such a blatant statement. Lots of people aren't taking it seriously, but all it takes is one bad guy out of a full house to make a problem.
  406. Jun 14 16:42:40 <Knox> "Move on to the talent portion already!" he calls out in a Wakinoan accent.
  407. Jun 14 16:42:56 * castfromhp has quit (Connection reset by peer)
  408. Jun 14 16:43:05 <Aori_Radidjiu> It nods.
  409. Jun 14 16:43:05 <Lesieli> "Who said that?! Looks like someone needs a demonstration!"
  410. Jun 14 16:43:11 <Knox> 6d6 Guile
  411. Jun 14 16:43:11 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, Guile: 23 [6d6=1,6,4,4,4,4]
  412. Jun 14 16:43:13 * Lesieli moves to march off the stage and deck the heckler
  413. Jun 14 16:43:24 <Knox> Wasn't Knox!
  414. Jun 14 16:43:38 <Aori_Radidjiu> Since Lesieli has moved off the stage, hte contest continues on.
  415. Jun 14 16:44:35 <Mayuri> "Aww... I think I missed the timing."
  416. Jun 14 16:45:24 * Melons locks eyes with Lesieli.
  417. Jun 14 16:45:24 * castfromhp (castfromhp@sux-785131EB.hsd1.il.comcast.net) has joined
  418. Jun 14 16:46:56 <Aori_Radidjiu> Next up is #84, Samantha Izaaks! Sami comes on to the stage all decked out like http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1176019 and waves to the crowd. "Hey there everyone, lookin' for somethin' sexy~?"
  419. Jun 14 16:46:58 <Lesieli> "Mel?! That was you? Cut that out, you're wasting my time. I gotta get back up there and finish"
  420. Jun 14 16:47:12 * Lesieli turns around to take the stage back
  421. Jun 14 16:47:23 * Melons grabs Lesieli's arm. "Back to the ship. Now."
  422. Jun 14 16:47:42 <Lesieli> "No way, I've got work to do!" Lemme go!"
  423. Jun 14 16:47:59 <Aori_Radidjiu> 5d6+2 She tugs at one of the straps of her top and sticks her tongue out. "Hope you like me~"
  424. Jun 14 16:48:00 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, She tugs at one of the straps of her top and sticks her tongue out. "Hope you like me~": 16 [5d6=5,2,2,1,4]
  425. Jun 14 16:49:45 * Melons tosses Ado out to SPIDER WEB Lesieli in place.
  426. Jun 14 16:50:12 <Lesieli> 1d6-2 Athletic- oh who am I kidding
  427. Jun 14 16:50:12 <DiceMaid-9001> Lesieli, Athletic- oh who am I kidding: -1 [1d6=1]
  428. Jun 14 16:50:39 <Lesieli> Yeah, pretty sure you win. This time.
  429. Jun 14 16:51:23 * Melons sits back down and sighs.
  430. Jun 14 16:51:29 * Mayuri picks up Lesieli and cuddles. A bit like a plushy.
  431. Jun 14 16:51:43 <Melons> B-But she's stuck to the ground
  432. Jun 14 16:51:48 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Now...where was I...oh, yes! So I'm Sami, and I'm heere to let you all know that I painted all the seats with delayed action glow paint! You'll all have glowbutts right...about....now!"
  433. Jun 14 16:52:00 <Aori_Radidjiu> 6d6+4 Guile for speech; 6d6+4 Guile for Talent

  436. Jun 14 16:52:05 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, I can totally break a spider web... right?: 1 [2d6=2,1]
  437. Jun 14 16:52:24 <Lesieli> Even DM doesn't want me to continue that horrific performance
  438. Jun 14 16:52:28 <Melons> Don't make me web you too.
  439. Jun 14 16:52:42 <Aori_Radidjiu> If anyone stands up, they have a glowbutt.
  440. Jun 14 16:52:51 <Aori_Radidjiu> Everyone in the audience has a glowbutt now.
  441. Jun 14 16:53:01 <Melons> "...I hate her too." Her glowbutt glowbutts best.
  442. Jun 14 16:53:03 * Lesieli growls "You're making me miss a great opportunity here, thanks a lot" Gonna take a minute for her to calm down
  443. Jun 14 16:53:28 <Mayuri> "You look more like a plushy than a goddess, you know."
  444. Jun 14 16:53:53 * Mackenzie is probably laughing the glowbuttery off
  445. Jun 14 16:54:00 <Aori_Radidjiu> The judges seem a bit disgruntled but eventually give Sami a 9.2 out of 10. NOT BAD
  446. Jun 14 16:56:09 <Mackenzie> Possibly still amidst the company of his crew from earlier.
  447. Jun 14 16:57:19 <Aori_Radidjiu> She walks off the stage, and then before the judge can announce the next one, http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=993190 runs on stage. "#85, SEXY BIKINI-LOVER RIONA WINTERS IS HERE, HOW DO YOU LIKE ME~?" and then bends forward and winks to the whole crowd.
  448. Jun 14 16:57:37 <Aori_Radidjiu> 6d6+3 About equal to Luna, in actuality
  449. Jun 14 16:57:38 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, About equal to Luna, in actuality: 24 [6d6=2,4,2,6,5,2]
  450. Jun 14 16:59:17 <Aori_Radidjiu> She grabs the mic with confidence and smiles to the crowd. "Everybody give it up for me! I want you all to get real loud for me, okay~?"
  451. Jun 14 16:59:29 <Melons> "No."
  452. Jun 14 16:59:34 <Aori_Radidjiu> 6d6+3 Command to make the CROWD GO WILD!

  455. Jun 14 16:59:55 <Aori_Radidjiu> *deafening
  456. Jun 14 17:00:09 * Mackenzie is all up in the all-inclusiveness moment and is probably among the cheerers
  457. Jun 14 17:00:48 * Knox just shakes his head at Lesieli. "You're not going to get followers by crashing a bikini contest. Best everyone thinks it's just a joke or a stunt for now."
  458. Jun 14 17:01:35 <Knox> He says this very quietly, pretty much a hiss.
  459. Jun 14 17:01:49 * Lesieli just lies there fuming
  460. Jun 14 17:02:06 <Aori_Radidjiu> "That's what I'm talkin' 'bout! Now then, listen to my song~!" She goes into a pirate sea shanty (I couldn't find a good one, s-sorry) that she "slips" on a few times on purpose. Sami claps along with her as she sings.
  461. Jun 14 17:02:09 * Knox doesn't even bother checking out his glowbutt.
  462. Jun 14 17:02:15 <Aori_Radidjiu> 6d6+3 Charmfully singing~
  463. Jun 14 17:02:16 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, Charmfully singing~: 26 [6d6=2,1,6,4,4,6]
  464. Jun 14 17:03:08 <Aori_Radidjiu> The judges convene on this annnnnd give her a 9.1 out of 10! Again, NOT BAD!
  465. Jun 14 17:06:43 <Lesieli> Wait, I never got my score. . .
  466. Jun 14 17:07:07 <Aori_Radidjiu> There's a few more contestants, before a new one, #97, is called. "Mistress....Mistral?" She WARPS in in front of the mic, clad in http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1220851 "Hullo there everyone!" She waves
  467. Jun 14 17:07:20 <Aori_Radidjiu> 4d6 Charm
  468. Jun 14 17:07:21 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, Charm: 13 [4d6=1,6,1,5]
  469. Jun 14 17:07:23 <Knox> Evangelion 4.0 You Can (Not) Get High Scores
  470. Jun 14 17:07:45 <Aori_Radidjiu> (You didn't do a talent performance, so you didn't finish your performance, so you didn't get a score)
  471. Jun 14 17:07:58 <Mayuri> Her talent preformance was turning into Victini
  472. Jun 14 17:07:59 <Mayuri> Doh.
  473. Jun 14 17:08:09 * Melons now feels terrible about Mirai missing all of this ;-;
  474. Jun 14 17:08:56 * Melons comfort eats popcorn. ;-;
  475. Jun 14 17:09:00 <Aori_Radidjiu> She leeeans in to the mic. "I'm suuuuuure you all are getting sick of this contest, because it suuuuure is loooong, but at least you get to look at me! I'm pretty, aren't I?"
  476. Jun 14 17:09:09 <Aori_Radidjiu> 6d6+2 Guile
  477. Jun 14 17:09:10 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, Guile: 19 [6d6=2,4,2,5,1,3]
  478. Jun 14 17:09:26 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I think I'm the last contestant, soooooo...."
  479. Jun 14 17:10:07 <Aori_Radidjiu> 6d6+3 COMBAT, she kicks the microphone off the stage, over the heads of the audience, and it lands with a CRASH behind everyone. "That's it!"
  480. Jun 14 17:10:08 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, COMBAT, she kicks the microphone off the stage, over the heads of the audience, and it lands with a CRASH behind everyone. "That's it!": 31 [6d6=6,3,6,5,6,2]
  481. Jun 14 17:10:56 * Melons popcorn tastes so much better than she remembers ;-;
  482. Jun 14 17:11:05 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mistral gets an 8.3! And a scolding for destroying the equipment, but she hands them a bunch of money and moves on. It's okay to break things so long as you pay to replace them!
  483. Jun 14 17:12:18 * Melons and she scored like the lowest. ;-;
  484. Jun 14 17:13:24 <Aori_Radidjiu> With that, the judges decide on a winner (Auriga, of course) and call her on to the stage to present her with a cash reward, a trophy, and a Pokemon egg, which she takes, a bit surprised, and then joins you all. It's now 7 PM, there's still time for you guys to go and prepare for the Cute Contest at 8!
  485. Jun 14 17:14:06 <Melons> 4d6+4 Pretend she isn't disappointed while congratuhugging Auriga
  486. Jun 14 17:14:08 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Pretend she isn't disappointed while congratuhugging Auriga: 26 [4d6=5,6,6,5]
  487. Jun 14 17:14:24 <Knox> "Think I'm actually starting to get a little sick of bikinis." he murmurs, stretching. "And congrats, Auriga. Kickass performance."
  488. Jun 14 17:14:56 <Aori_Radidjiu> Auriga walks up to Mel, and then jumps on her and pretty much grapples her close. "T-thankssomuchIappreciateitIcouldn'thavewonwithoutyou!"
  489. Jun 14 17:16:06 <Knox> "We still got an hour? I think I'm heading back to the ship for a few minutes. And, you know, prepare myself for the second worst experience of my life."
  490. Jun 14 17:16:16 <Melons> For once, Mel doesn't blush!...but her tattoos glow instead. "It seemed like you've gotten much better at using your powers!...and...uh...that threat...was that for real?"
  491. Jun 14 17:16:30 <Mackenzie> "Yes, that was definitely a passionate performance. A very good effort."
  492. Jun 14 17:16:39 <Mayuri> "... still a bit scary."
  493. Jun 14 17:17:38 <Knox> Fire and passion tend to go hand in hand, don't they?" he says wryly to Mack. "Guess all she needed was some encouragement."
  494. Jun 14 17:17:42 <Knox> "
  495. Jun 14 17:18:02 * Lesieli is still stuck to the floor
  496. Jun 14 17:18:09 <Knox> "Anyway, time to see if I can get this paint off."
  497. Jun 14 17:18:18 * Knox starts walking back to the ship.
  498. Jun 14 17:18:37 <Aori_Radidjiu> Auriga unlatches herself from you, Melanie, and nods. "I-I'd totally kill them if they held back on me, trust me!"
  499. Jun 14 17:18:48 <Aori_Radidjiu> 2d6+0 Guile
  500. Jun 14 17:18:49 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, Guile: 8 [2d6=4,4]
  501. Jun 14 17:18:55 <Knox> 1d6 Intuition
  502. Jun 14 17:18:55 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, Intuition: 1 [1d6=1]
  503. Jun 14 17:18:58 <Melons> 1d6-2 Well they're BOTH crazy people
  504. Jun 14 17:18:59 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Well they're BOTH crazy people: 3 [1d6=5]
  505. Jun 14 17:19:29 <Melons> "...and what exactly was that 'held back' bit? Like...if they didn't judge you harshly enough?"
  506. Jun 14 17:19:34 <Aori_Radidjiu> You all manage to somehow fall for it.
  507. Jun 14 17:19:51 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Yeah, exactly!"
  508. Jun 14 17:20:26 <Melons> "...huh...well I guess it works counterintuitively?...also that's like two you owe me now~. Three if you count taking you along on the boat..."
  509. Jun 14 17:21:19 <Mayuri> 4d6+4 I guess having parents makes you better at detecting lies?
  510. Jun 14 17:21:20 <Aori_Radidjiu> She turns a bit red. "H-how do I repay you, then...?"
  511. Jun 14 17:21:20 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, I guess having parents makes you better at detecting lies?: 21 [4d6=6,5,4,2]
  512. Jun 14 17:21:44 <Aori_Radidjiu> Yeah she was bluffing. Also Melanie totally has parents.
  513. Jun 14 17:22:09 <Aori_Radidjiu> As does Mack. And probably Knox. And Lesieli.
  514. Jun 14 17:22:27 <Knox> Yeah, Knox's family exists. He just didn't care for them.
  515. Jun 14 17:22:32 <Melons> "How do you thiiiiink?~" She winks. She doesn't actually have anything in mind at all.
  516. Jun 14 17:23:41 <Aori_Radidjiu> She turns as red as her hair. "I-I'll do anything you ask..." She starts looking down at her feet.
  517. Jun 14 17:24:54 <Aori_Radidjiu> Back to the ship?
  518. Jun 14 17:25:26 <Melons> "..that...sounds a little extreme...also I feel bad ordering you to do things. Unless they're the other kind of orders, the don't-die orders. You should follow those. I guess uh...ask...Mirai how to pay me back? That way it's a surprise? Whatever." Shrug.
  519. Jun 14 17:25:28 <Melons> Y.
  520. Jun 14 17:26:18 <Mayuri> What, but, contest.
  521. Jun 14 17:26:26 <Melons> It's in an hour!
  522. Jun 14 17:26:28 <Lesieli> "What, you just gonna leave me stuck here?"
  523. Jun 14 17:26:40 <Melons> "Yep! It's punishment."
  524. Jun 14 17:26:47 * Lesieli scowls
  525. Jun 14 17:26:50 <Mayuri> "Come on, she's cute like this, and I want to hug her."
  526. Jun 14 17:27:00 * Mayuri is assuming she's still goddess form, uh, is she?
  527. Jun 14 17:27:26 <Aori_Radidjiu> You all return to the ship for a while (Auriga burns the web off of Lesieli, gently)! Mirai's in the galley, she's cooked something up (some beef stirfry, isn't Mel glad she didn't get Milk Drink?) and the rest of the crew is doing pretty normal things.
  528. Jun 14 17:27:52 <Melons> Milk Drink WOULD be more party friendly...
  529. Jun 14 17:28:00 <Lesieli> Maybe I'm interpreting things wrong, but for me 'Goddess form' doesn't meant literally Victini, but a victini-inspired look. Still human though.
  530. Jun 14 17:28:23 <Lesieli> But anyways, dragged back to the ship. Ah well. Maybe I'll finally realize I'm only wearing a bikini
  531. Jun 14 17:29:53 <Knox> In the meantime...
  532. Jun 14 17:30:08 <Knox> Should Melanie go back to her room, she discovers something... different.
  533. Jun 14 17:30:28 <Melons> Well she WAS going to go get glowpaint off her butt.
  534. Jun 14 17:31:49 <Melons> Is it a ghost? I bet it's a ghost.
  535. Jun 14 17:32:26 <Knox> On her bed is a set of... things. Two things, in fact. They seem to be a witch hat resting on a folded piece of cloth. The hat is black with purple trim, a dark green bow, and on the bow - a single glowing red eye. Not a REAL eye of course, but it's still got some MAGIC to it. Under the grim, on the underside of the hats is a special fabric pattern that looks like a number of haunting
  536. Jun 14 17:32:27 <Knox> eyes staring. http://i.imgur.com/yZLyZRo.jpg Like the upper left hat, but with colors more appropriate compared to Mel's Meldoka outfit.
  537. Jun 14 17:32:32 <Knox> *brim
  538. Jun 14 17:33:36 * Melons stares at the eyes.
  539. Jun 14 17:33:50 <Melons> 1d6-2 I use my intuition to figure out who done it.
  540. Jun 14 17:33:52 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, I use my intuition to figure out who done it.: 0 [1d6=2]
  541. Jun 14 17:33:56 <Melons> As I said, ghosts.
  542. Jun 14 17:34:04 <Knox> The folded piece of fabric is a dark purple cloak, sized for Melanie, no special trim, but on the inside its looks defy expectations, appearing for all the world to be a brilliant night sky.
  543. Jun 14 17:34:40 <Knox> Sparkling stars dot the inside of the fabric, and a shimmering aurora can be seen, even.
  544. Jun 14 17:35:19 <Knox> Sea Witch Hat (Deathly Vixen) - Head Slot. Grants Night Daze, Mean Look, and Scary Face. Star Cloak - Grants the Starlight ability.
  545. Jun 14 17:35:58 <Melons> Shouldn't a sea witch actually have things related to the se- I mean, Mel stares around perplexed.
  546. Jun 14 17:36:01 <Knox> You have no idea who did this but maybe Mirai spied a Knox.
  547. Jun 14 17:36:33 <Knox> There's no note or anything.
  548. Jun 14 17:36:56 * Melons sniffs the items.
  549. Jun 14 17:37:11 <Knox> Roll, uh, smell?
  550. Jun 14 17:37:15 <Melons> 3d6+4 Perception?
  551. Jun 14 17:37:17 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Perception?: 9 [3d6=1,3,1]
  552. Jun 14 17:38:37 <Aori_Radidjiu> WHO WOULD DO SUCH A THING
  553. Jun 14 17:38:40 <Aori_Radidjiu> You have no clue.
  554. Jun 14 17:38:40 <Knox> Clooose enough to meet a challenging DC. You faintly smell a very light, acrid scent that matches when Knox uses his poison moves.
  555. Jun 14 17:38:49 <Knox> Oh
  556. Jun 14 17:38:51 <Aori_Radidjiu> oh righ ti was letting Knox handle this
  557. Jun 14 17:38:52 <Aori_Radidjiu> CONTINUE
  558. Jun 14 17:38:57 <Aori_Radidjiu> I'M BAD AT DC'S ANYWAY
  559. Jun 14 17:39:40 <Knox> You can probably only detect it because you merged with MissingMel anyway. That sensitivity likely has to have some bonus.
  560. Jun 14 17:39:52 * Melons remembers he mentioned needing money and puts 2 and 2 together. To get 4. Because you multiply them. Or....are you supposed to add them...?
  561. Jun 14 17:41:22 <Melons> She shakes her head and squiddles. "Nopenopenope, why's he making this MORE complicated..." And unless there's more, probably fin?
  562. Jun 14 17:41:41 <Aori_Radidjiu> </session>
