Session 34: Shawyun more like SANTA

Oct 07 20:01:06 <Shawyun_Sariri>	Okay! So last time you guys snuck into the museum and bagged the bad guys. Four alien bidoofs and two dittos.
Oct 07 20:01:18 <Shawyun_Sariri>	One of which Gen cauht, the other Chase has in a bottle.
Oct 07 20:03:55 »»	Shawyun_Sariri is now known as zoofarrator
Oct 07 20:04:27 <zoofarrator>	Well, to add some more context, you also called in about the two bodies, as I recall, so the museum's currently a bit of a crime scene.  Though the gritty details were obviously kept under wraps.
Oct 07 20:05:12 <zoofarrator>	As for who you shared this information about what occured here, well...that's up to you.
Oct 07 20:06:52 »»	Genevieve votes to inform everyone they know and already told Chione, since knowing that Ditto are back on the islands is probably important considering they just tried to clear TC of enemy agents.
Oct 07 20:07:09 <Chase>	Is there any way we'd be able to share this info with the rangers and NOT get the dittos confiscated?
Oct 07 20:07:55 <Genevieve>	I think we can pull rank on most of them.
Oct 07 20:08:06 <zoofarrator>	We'll say GYM LEADER REP RANGER DOYLE was on the scene and let you guys slide.  To be honest no one really wants to 'confiscate' a ditto.
Oct 07 20:08:52 <zoofarrator>	Doyle: "If I had to guess, based on what I've seen and movies and stuff cause never seen this for real...they probably would have wanted us to catch them.  We're probably easy pickings compared to you guys."
Oct 07 20:09:40 <Chase>	"Still... dittos..."
Oct 07 20:10:56 <Chase>	"Glad we found them out before they caused more harm, but this shit goes pretty deep..."
Oct 07 20:11:23 <Genevieve>	"Definitely cause for some alarm."
Oct 07 20:11:35 <Saryx>	"You mean 'catch 'em', like, be the ones to find 'em? ... 'cause that sure seems real bad, Dittos working their way through the Rangers and all sorts of higher-up people."
Oct 07 20:11:52 <zoofarrator>	"I mean, like."
Oct 07 20:12:09 <zoofarrator>	"Horror movie stuff where they slide out of the holding cells and kill us all one by one."
Oct 07 20:12:16 <Chase>	As far as who we've informed, yeah, at the very least, Brains, the authorities, and probably Ammy at this point too.
Oct 07 20:12:45 <Chase>	"They kind of tried the whole wax museum exhibit thing, it wasn't really fun."
Oct 07 20:13:00 <Chase>	"Fuck those movies."
Oct 07 20:13:38 <Chase>	"Was there anything else you needed from us?"
Oct 07 20:13:41 <zoofarrator>	Doyle looks around the museum and shudders.  "To be honest you guys are pretty ballsy to not just try to kill them.  But, uh...yeah make sure those things don't get loose or something right?  And hope they aren't like Rattatas."
Oct 07 20:13:58 <Saryx>	Saryx shudders. "Yeah, that was not fun to watch at all, the both of 'em melding out of the statues they had up already."
Oct 07 20:14:04 <zoofarrator>	Oh, he was just here to secure the scene!  More like you guys needed him.
Oct 07 20:14:14 <Chase>	(Oh, whoops)
Oct 07 20:14:20 <Genevieve>	"Got it. We'll keep them locked up tight."
Oct 07 20:14:24 <Chase>	(Thought he was questioning us about the scene)
Oct 07 20:14:42 <Genevieve>	By which she means keeping her Ditto sedated and floating in a tank on the ship.
Oct 07 20:14:54 <zoofarrator>	Well yeah but we're assuming you guys already covered that <:3d
Oct 07 20:15:24 <Chase>	"Yeah, we got it. Just need to avoid breaking that jar. We'll probably secure it in a box on the floor on the ship somewhere."
Oct 07 20:16:15 <Chase>	"We're going to try and attempt to question them, and if that doesn't pan out... well, I guess Gen will figure something out."
Oct 07 20:17:34 <zoofarrator>	"Good luck with that!" He seems naucious at the idea of it.
Oct 07 20:18:06 »»	Chase is a bit uneasy himself given the enormity of what they're dealing with. "Keep up the good work, by the way." he forces a smile and claps Doyle on the shoulder.
Oct 07 20:19:37 <zoofarrator>	He gets to work dealing with the fact some violence happened here and there'w two decomposing bodies as you guys return to a location of your choosing to inform folks of stuff, and to question these things.
Oct 07 20:20:19 <zoofarrator>	Last you saw of Rosetta on the way back...well, you heard Gabriella's voice, there was some childish crying and whining and a spilled plate of funnel cakes.
Oct 07 20:20:33 <Chase>	(D:)
Oct 07 20:21:29 »»	Chase heads back to the suite, then.
Oct 07 20:22:57 »»	Genevieve goes back to the suite with Chase.
Oct 07 20:23:04 <Chase>	What HAVE we had time to do here, exactly?
Oct 07 20:23:18 <zoofarrator>	The people you informed of this gave you a collective 'WHAT THE FUCK.'  Like, beyond everything that happened so far this was pretty out there.
Oct 07 20:23:40 <zoofarrator>	Well, you certainly got time to contact people and plan how to question these things, let alone what to ask them...
Oct 07 20:23:50 <zoofarrator>	Honestly you don't think either of them is getting free very easy.
Oct 07 20:24:01 <Genevieve>	"On the upside, the Mewtwos may turn into jelly if we hit them with Skittles."
Oct 07 20:24:31 <Chase>	"You think they didn't remove that part of the genetic code?"
Oct 07 20:24:55 <Chase>	"Man, what makes this intolerant to sugar, anyway"
Oct 07 20:24:57 <Chase>	*them
Oct 07 20:25:39 <zoofarrator>	Your intuition tells you it might be a hate of all things good in life
Oct 07 20:25:56 <zoofarrator>	like lillipups and skitties and rainsbows and margaritas...
Oct 07 20:26:22 <Saryx>	They hate margarita time? Those fiends!
Oct 07 20:26:27 <Genevieve>	"I'd have to check the genes. I'm not sure if the anti-sugar one has been isolated, though."
Oct 07 20:28:08 <Chase>	"So where are we starting with this."
Oct 07 20:28:20 »»	Chase thumbs at the jar. "Them first or what."
Oct 07 20:29:21 <Genevieve>	"Might as well."
Oct 07 20:30:17 <Genevieve>	"What did you want to ask them anyway?"
Oct 07 20:30:52 »»	Chase picks up the jar, then. "Alright then, there's a few different ways we can do this. First off, who or what were you spying on, what did you find out, and why did your superiors want that information?"
Oct 07 20:31:37 <Chase>	Is the ditto even awake?
Oct 07 20:31:57 <zoofarrator>	It's unconcious at the moment.
Oct 07 20:32:02 <zoofarrator>	You think a good shake would fix that
Oct 07 20:32:15 »»	Chase shakes. "Rise and shine, chucklefuck."
Oct 07 20:32:37 <zoofarrator>	"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaah!"
Oct 07 20:32:47 »»	zoofarrator is now known as The_Ditto
Oct 07 20:32:50 <Chase>	"You awake now? Okay then."
Oct 07 20:33:09 »»	Chase repeats his question and the fact that 'there's a few different ways they can do this'.
Oct 07 20:34:16 <Saryx>	Saryx raises an eyebrow at Chase's add-on to that statement. "... We're gonna end up torturing things again, aren't we?" His tone suggests he's not really happy to do that again if it comes down to it.
Oct 07 20:34:47 <Chase>	"Oh, not like -that-, man."
Oct 07 20:34:58 <The_Ditto>	"The scions of the Forgotton Ones are as naive as we once were, even still?  Bleh!  To think we were bested by you scoundrels."
Oct 07 20:35:15 <Chase>	"But you saw how shaken this thing was."
Oct 07 20:35:18 <The_Ditto>	It's voice is rather muffled inside the bottle, but works good enough
Oct 07 20:35:43 <Genevieve>	"Yeah, imagine that."
Oct 07 20:36:22 <Chase>	"Hey, it ain't a matter of naivety. There's a lot of shit going down and there could be a number of things you're after. Husk seemed pretty interested in hearing about his daughter."
Oct 07 20:36:42 <Chase>	"We have a pretty good idea, but you're going to answer my questions anyway, k?"
Oct 07 20:38:05 <The_Ditto>	You can't really guage dittoface, but it's tone suggests it's rather shocked you saw that.  "Being cornered to cooperate with the allies of a follower of The Deciever...I will kill you for this, when I am free of this infernal prison."
Oct 07 20:38:37 <Genevieve>	"Sweetie, you'll be lucky if one of you survives the night."
Oct 07 20:38:53 <Chase>	"I -could- just let Gen have the bottle if you'd rather take your chances with her."
Oct 07 20:39:05 <Genevieve>	"I need one of you for parts, so you should probably figure out which one you'd rather be."
Oct 07 20:39:33 <The_Ditto>	It hisses like an Arbok at the two of you and goes quiet.
Oct 07 20:39:38 »»	Saryx staaares at Gen. With the 'nigga u wot?' look of abject horror at her.
Oct 07 20:39:55 <Genevieve>	"What?"
Oct 07 20:40:03 <Chase>	"You talking or not?" he shakes the jar a bit.
Oct 07 20:41:17 <The_Ditto>	"This town is both the most direct route of entry into these lands, and now the stomping ground of its greatest defenders."
Oct 07 20:41:25 <The_Ditto>	"It is only natural we would have our eyes upon it."
Oct 07 20:42:22 <Chase>	"Uh-huh. One little problem with that, your friends are from space. The fuck do they need an airport for? Keep going."
Oct 07 20:43:10 <The_Ditto>	"Surely you are not so naive.  It is not for our use, but to observe who comes and goes.  The fact that the daughter of The Third was merely coincidence."
Oct 07 20:43:18 <The_Ditto>	(The Third arrived here*)
Oct 07 20:44:38 <Genevieve>	"The Third? Who are the First and the Second?"
Oct 07 20:44:50 <Chase>	"Guess there's not too many of you, then, if you're worried about that."
Oct 07 20:46:17 <Chase>	"Is that the designation for the chain of command, or some other title?"
Oct 07 20:46:44 <The_Ditto>	"The First will lead the charge toward a new tomorrow. Conquest."
Oct 07 20:47:10 <Genevieve>	"The fucking FOUR HORSEMEN?"
Oct 07 20:47:38 <The_Ditto>	"The Second shall descend with the Angels of War.  The Third shall control the scales of this conflict."
Oct 07 20:48:06 <The_Ditto>	"I do not believe I need describe the Forth."
Oct 07 20:48:57 <Chase>	"So this really is a religious war."
Oct 07 20:49:54 <The_Ditto>	"We will rid the world of believers of false idols.  All shall kneel before the one true lord."
Oct 07 20:50:32 <Chase>	"Man, you people are uptight. People should believe in whatever the fuck they want to believe in."
Oct 07 20:50:42 <Genevieve>	"False idols. Your god kicked ours out of the house and now he's throwing a fit."
Oct 07 20:51:07 <Saryx>	"... Four Horsemen, Gen?" Saryx looks at both her and Chase since they seem to be a whole lot informed about this stuff than he does.
Oct 07 20:51:20 <Chase>	"Oh uh."
Oct 07 20:51:38 <Chase>	"Book of Revelations, Saryx. Four horsemen of the apocolypse? End of the world?"
Oct 07 20:51:41 <Chase>	"That whole thing?"
Oct 07 20:52:40 <The_Ditto>	"The lord you serve, priestess, -betrayed- us and cursed us with our form.  You would be wise to realize the folly of your choices."
Oct 07 20:53:17 <The_Ditto>	"Our kind has suffered enough at the hands of your lords.  Our choice was a simple one."
Oct 07 20:53:36 <Chase>	"Didn't you guys follow some other jerk first"
Oct 07 20:53:56 <Chase>	"Man, I really need to grab those history books."
Oct 07 20:54:01 <The_Ditto>	(That's what she's saying to Genevieve, Chase)
Oct 07 20:54:07 <Genevieve>	"My jerk, Chase."
Oct 07 20:54:21 <The_Ditto>	"We were human ourselves, once.  We desired the world."
Oct 07 20:54:25 <Chase>	(No I thought the dittos followed urmaresharon)
Oct 07 20:54:29 <Chase>	(Or something)
Oct 07 20:54:32 <The_Ditto>	<I -said- they could be anything they wanted.>
Oct 07 20:54:41 <The_Ditto>	<I was good to my word!> comes from around Gen's neck
Oct 07 20:54:53 <The_Ditto>	The Ditto hisses at the sound of the voice.
Oct 07 20:55:04 <Saryx>	(That was after the Deceiver, actually, they joined Urmaresheron, Kain.)
Oct 07 20:55:09 <Chase>	(Oh)
Oct 07 20:55:15 <Chase>	"So... you got power hungry and signed a contract you didn't really read."
Oct 07 20:55:24 <Chase>	"And now you're mad about it?"
Oct 07 20:55:30 <Genevieve>	"Here, talk to the boss man yourself."
Oct 07 20:55:37 <The_Ditto>	<They didn't like it, so turned tail and immediately got to work waking up The Architect.  Who we'd put into a deep sleep under the ocean cause he was an actual dickass.>
Oct 07 20:55:53 <Genevieve>	"Though when you said I'd be coming across Ditto, I was -hoping- you meant ones that wouldn't try to kill me."
Oct 07 20:55:55 <The_Ditto>	<Ask One and Only.  He was there.>
Oct 07 20:56:15 <The_Ditto>	<Well of course they are going to try to kill my followers.  That's sorta their mission in life now.>
Oct 07 20:56:31 <The_Ditto>	<But go on.> the necklace goes quiet.
Oct 07 20:58:35 <The_Ditto>	Roll me Intuition or Perception, by the way, guys
Oct 07 20:58:47 <Chase>	"Arright, things are starting to add up here. I have a pretty good idea who War is."
Oct 07 20:58:48 <Genevieve>	2d6+3 Percep
Oct 07 20:58:49 <DiceMaid-9001>	Genevieve, Percep: 6 [2d6=2,1]
Oct 07 20:59:03 <Genevieve>	"Share with the class?"
Oct 07 20:59:06 <Chase>	6d6+6 Intuition
Oct 07 20:59:06 <DiceMaid-9001>	Chase, Intuition: 31 [6d6=2,2,3,6,6,6]
Oct 07 20:59:10 <The_Ditto>	Genevieve can at least see this Ditto is fucking pissed to hear that voice.
Oct 07 20:59:29 <Genevieve>	"Get over yourself, Gumby."
Oct 07 20:59:37 <The_Ditto>	Chase, you reckon you can press this thing to say more than it might mean to if you get it mad enough and press the right buttons.
Oct 07 20:59:53 <Chase>	"The second will descend with the angels of war? Who else have we been hearing talk of bringing angels down and 'smiting the heretics'?"
Oct 07 20:59:58 <Saryx>	4d6+1 Perception;1d6 if we were supposed to add those new edges from 1.03 already
Oct 07 20:59:58 <DiceMaid-9001>	Saryx, Perception: 16 [4d6=4,5,2,4]; if we were supposed to add those new edges from 1.03 already: 4 [1d6=4]
Oct 07 21:00:07 <The_Ditto>	Yup. Sure is a ditto.
Oct 07 21:00:12 <The_Ditto>	and sure is mad.
Oct 07 21:00:45 <Chase>	"Man, man, man.... this is pretty rich actually."
Oct 07 21:01:10 <Genevieve>	"So Dandy or Jenn."
Oct 07 21:02:01 <Chase>	"Y'all niggas wanted to take over the world, got yourselves fucked up, got butthurt about it, and then basically sucked up to anyone who'd take you that wasn't D.C. so you could get your revenge."
Oct 07 21:03:19 <The_Ditto>	"Yet you pledge yourself to a being that spent the last two centuries womanizing and working in the service of a true demon.  The Banisher is no fool.  He has invested much in this venture."
Oct 07 21:03:59 <The_Ditto>	"The first coming came too early.  The world was not ready for his glory.  The second coming was corrupted by by the spawn of the False Ones.  The third shall not fail."
Oct 07 21:04:24 <Chase>	"Hey, the dude knows how to live and let live, and has some damn good style. And it's not like he's working for Giratina anymore either."
Oct 07 21:04:34 <Genevieve>	"Really?"
Oct 07 21:04:44 <The_Ditto>	Saryx thinks he hears an 'uuuuuuuu'.
Oct 07 21:04:51 <The_Ditto>	But maybe he's just hearing things.
Oct 07 21:05:20 <Chase>	"Still, I'd take an honest devil over a fire and brimstone overlord."
Oct 07 21:06:05 <Genevieve>	"She thinks she's still going to win when she's trapped in a Coke bottle. The Russian with grungey tattoos is doing better than your side, Bubbleyum."
Oct 07 21:06:51 <The_Ditto>	"The Second Coming will not suceed.  His time has come and gone and our lord has blessed his champions with the tools to deal with him."
Oct 07 21:07:22 <Chase>	"Hmm...?"
Oct 07 21:07:29 <Chase>	"The hell is that supposed to mean?"
Oct 07 21:07:56 <Chase>	"Are you saying Grant is the Second Coming? -really-?"
Oct 07 21:08:25 »»	Chase looks at Gen and Saryx, pointing at the ditto.
Oct 07 21:08:28 <Chase>	"This nigga says Grant is Jesus."
Oct 07 21:08:45 <The_Ditto>	"A failed messiah.  His purpose was corrupted.  The Pale Horseman fears him not."
Oct 07 21:09:44 <Chase>	Have we managed to get this thing any madder?
Oct 07 21:09:53 <Genevieve>	"I think she means he's a false start to the apocalypse."
Oct 07 21:10:01 <Genevieve>	"Not strictly a Jesus thing."
Oct 07 21:10:11 <Saryx>	"Sounds like a victory for us, then, at least~ We can just kick back,munch on some popcorn, and let them both beat each other senseless, then sweep up once they're done with each other, right?" ... Though his 'u wot nigga?' face does indeed return at the mention of Grant being a messiah. "I think we all realized that one was sorta obvious, how messed up his plans were."
Oct 07 21:10:53 <Genevieve>	"And I guess since Grant's going to fail, we can go ahead and turn all our attention on these guys. I'm sure we can get up a ground-to-space weapon in a few days."
Oct 07 21:12:42 <The_Ditto>	Well, Saryx's comment there and Genevieve's sorta got it some.  "His corrupted spawn will not be the birth of the eighteenth element of this realm!  We will not allow is.  The Banisher's blessing will come upon this world, as we will be freed of this cursed form!"
Oct 07 21:14:05 <Genevieve>	6d6+3 Occult 18th Element
Oct 07 21:14:06 <DiceMaid-9001>	Genevieve, Occult 18th Element: 28 [6d6=5,6,6,3,3,2]
Oct 07 21:14:18 <Chase>	"Eighteenth...? Well, whatever. I got a real, honest question for you here, actually."
Oct 07 21:14:21 <The_Ditto>	You're pretty fucking sure it's referring to Pokemon Types.
Oct 07 21:14:25 <The_Ditto>	Which there are 17 of.
Oct 07 21:14:35 <Genevieve>	"Oh, that's it."
Oct 07 21:15:26 <Chase>	"What exactly about your form is a curse? You forget what you used to look like? You have a real big sweet tooth before the change? Seems to be like being able to change into people or pokemon would be a gift. What's the downside, exactly?"
Oct 07 21:15:31 <Genevieve>	"I always did wonder why Normal didn't have a god. I guess Banisher's supposed to move in and add another type."
Oct 07 21:15:50 <Chase>	"Pretty sure she just said he was trying to stop that."
Oct 07 21:17:31 <The_Ditto>	Well, you pressed a button there.  The thing's friggen shaking in its jar, Chase. "We have lived for centuries, whelp.  Our origin was long lost to us.  All forms we take are simply impersonations!  Our sense of self is no more, replaced with an unending hunger."
Oct 07 21:17:35 <Saryx>	"... Wait, are these things supposed to be immortal or something?" He looks down at the Ditto. "'cause seems you all don't have much a sense for self-preservation if the Banisher's just gonna wipe everything out, too."
Oct 07 21:18:49 <The_Ditto>	"The only purging will be of heretics like yourselves!  His Chosen will take the seat at the head of your false lords, and all will be right with this world."
Oct 07 21:19:08 <Genevieve>	"So, you're basically betting it all on black."
Oct 07 21:19:42 <The_Ditto>	"A mission the failed messiah remembers, but his mission was long corrupted by the remnants of a fallen, diseased lord!"
Oct 07 21:21:09 <Chase>	"Is this going to end up with us asking for Grant's help. I really don't like that idea."
Oct 07 21:22:03 <Chase>	"So, let's recap."
Oct 07 21:22:20 <Genevieve>	"Corrupted?" She hums. "Sounds like maybe Grant's not 100% Grant either? Maybe someone pressed him like Yanala."
Oct 07 21:23:05 <Saryx>	"I... I wouldn't actually doubt that that he's got so many of the things on him. Wouldn't surprise me if some of them made him go bonkers."
Oct 07 21:23:54 <Genevieve>	"The Collective does seem to have a mind of its own. If we stripped them off him, maybe he'd be...I don't know, not a psycho scumbag anymore."
Oct 07 21:24:16 <Genevieve>	"We might have to try to actually save him before killing him."
Oct 07 21:24:49 <Chase>	"Our country has become the hotbed for a three-way holy war between the forces of what is assumedly God, complete with cursed jellyblob demons and bidoof shock troops, corrupted unown Jesus and his army of Russian alphabet soup, and the Explorer Guild with celebrity guest star Ranger Reserve Forces. This sound about right?"
Oct 07 21:25:54 <Chase>	"This gets better every day."
Oct 07 21:26:41 <Chase>	"Yo, One N'O, we should probably have a talk about this sometime." he says down at the necklace.
Oct 07 21:26:48 <The_Ditto>	Based on your intuition and what this thing's said, Chase
Oct 07 21:26:51 <The_Ditto>	you're missing one key point
Oct 07 21:27:01 <Genevieve>	"It's like Jerusalem worst case scenario in here."
Oct 07 21:27:09 <The_Ditto>	They are fighting over rights to a new Type.
Oct 07 21:28:03 <Chase>	"And the unborn eighteenth type is at the center of all this, too."
Oct 07 21:28:34 <Chase>	"What would it even be?"
Oct 07 21:28:43 <The_Ditto>	1NO chimes in: <People have been tryin' to make a new Type for ages.  Fails every time in disaster.  But hell, don't think those guys had backin' like these two did.>
Oct 07 21:29:47 <Chase>	"Yeah, this shit's a bit bigger than we thought."
Oct 07 21:29:51 »»	Genevieve shrugs. "I could see what I could dig up on earlier attempts. Sounds like this isn't the first time these specific parties have tried."
Oct 07 21:30:20 <The_Ditto>	The Ditto's eyes glow, well, pink with rage.  "The rise of the fae will come, mortals!  Your false idols, and the corrupted spawn of Grant Null are powerless before them!
Oct 07 21:30:22 <The_Ditto>	(+")
Oct 07 21:32:48 <Chase>	"What the hell kind of type is Fey?"
Oct 07 21:33:09 <Chase>	"Anyway I think that's all we're getting out of you."
Oct 07 21:33:23 <Genevieve>	"Well it's certainly otherworldly, which fits."
Oct 07 21:33:48 <Chase>	"Either of you two got anything?"
Oct 07 21:34:46 <Genevieve>	"Nope. Might as well throw some Splenda in there and get rid of her."
Oct 07 21:34:53 »»	Chase thinks a moment.
Oct 07 21:35:03 <Chase>	"Let's not be petty."
Oct 07 21:35:03 <Saryx>	"... If they're fighting over making a new type... You think whatever it was that those Sons shot us with at the factory was, like... A prototype of whatever type Grant's working to make?"
Oct 07 21:35:14 <The_Ditto>	Deciever: <Can we just make smores out of this marshmellowy bitch.>
Oct 07 21:35:45 »»	Genevieve holds up Raul's Pokeball. "I have one in reserve for that, D.C."
Oct 07 21:35:55 »»	Chase puts the jar in a box. "You've been very helpful."
Oct 07 21:36:03 »»	Chase slides it under the bed. "Anyway."
Oct 07 21:36:04 <The_Ditto>	Gen and Chase, roll perception.
Oct 07 21:36:07 »»	Saryx facepalms at Gen.
Oct 07 21:36:07 <Chase>	2d6-2
Oct 07 21:36:08 <DiceMaid-9001>	Chase, 2d6-2: 3 [2d6=1,4]
Oct 07 21:36:42 <Genevieve>	2d6+3
Oct 07 21:36:43 <DiceMaid-9001>	Genevieve, 2d6+3: 9 [2d6=2,4]
Oct 07 21:36:49 <Chase>	"I think you might be on to something, Saryx."
Oct 07 21:37:02 <Chase>	"That's actually what I was thinking."
Oct 07 21:37:19 <Chase>	"Some kind of... soul type? Corruption type? I dunno."
Oct 07 21:38:08 <The_Ditto>	Genevieve notices Saryx's shadow is sorta weird at the moment.  It's like a tail extending to a wall and a small face in the corner, not entirely unlike http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=612729
Oct 07 21:39:51 <Genevieve>	"Saryx, you've got a little...Giratina on you."
Oct 07 21:40:03 »»	Genevieve waves a hand at his shadow.
Oct 07 21:40:24 <Saryx>	"I what?!?" Saryx looks around, confused. ... Then sees his shadow being all weird and shit.
Oct 07 21:40:32 <The_Ditto>	The shadow flees under a bed.
Oct 07 21:40:40 <The_Ditto>	...and then waddles out a little tiny devil lizard.
Oct 07 21:40:43 <Chase>	"Oh hey, it's you."
Oct 07 21:40:45 <The_Ditto>	<Uuuuuu.>
Oct 07 21:40:46 <Saryx>	"... Oh, hey, it's Kal'fu!"
Oct 07 21:41:03 »»	Genevieve looks at Chase. "They have that video game girl, too. It's definitely something tied to 'reality'."
Oct 07 21:41:17 <The_Ditto>	<I'm Papa Wegba today!  No one gets a pwact!>
Oct 07 21:41:25 <Saryx>	"... Oh, that's what I was hearing before!" He takes off his cloak and scoops up the little devil. "You been doing alright?"
Oct 07 21:41:39 <The_Ditto>	That's a terrible idea without your coat, Saryx.
Oct 07 21:41:53 <Saryx>	Which is why he took off the cloak.
Oct 07 21:42:02 <Saryx>	... I meant to say he used it to pick him up.
Oct 07 21:42:13 <Chase>	"Already kind of made one anyway."
Oct 07 21:43:04 <Chase>	"Giratina... the devil himself. Man, what is up with the cutesy act... well, whatever, man. What's your take on this? Dandyman drove you out of your realm, right? So that's part of the Banisher's plan too."
Oct 07 21:44:11 <The_Ditto>	The little lizard wraggles.  <The dwitto says intewesting things.  Dandyman devouwered fae guawdians for a weason.  And with it banished me from my wealm.>
Oct 07 21:44:57 <Saryx>	"Probably wasn't too long since his last reincarnation's my guess here." Saryx shrugs. He still pets the adorable little demon anyways through the covering of the cloak. "... Wait, so..."
Oct 07 21:44:58 <Saryx>	Tick.
Oct 07 21:45:01 <Saryx>	Tick. Tick.
Oct 07 21:45:17 <Saryx>	"... Do you think he's trying to make himself part of the pantheon?!?"
Oct 07 21:45:28 <Chase>	"Jesus christ, how horrifying."
Oct 07 21:45:33 <The_Ditto>	"Mawbee."
Oct 07 21:45:50 <The_Ditto>	(replace thoe with <'s in your head :P)
Oct 07 21:45:56 <Genevieve>	"Really gotta kill him."
Oct 07 21:46:13 <Saryx>	Saryx almost drops Kal'fu.
Oct 07 21:46:36 <Chase>	"So... Are we really going up against Arceus, here? Is that what this is?"
Oct 07 21:47:07 »»	Genevieve shrugs. "The only person we know who might have a line on that is Ruth, yeah?"
Oct 07 21:47:40 »»	Chase was more asking the demonlizard
Oct 07 21:47:49 <The_Ditto>	Deciever chimes in, more serious than usual.  <That could be bad.  We got no idea what will happen if a human takes the spark.>
Oct 07 21:48:01 <The_Ditto>	<Things went off like an atom bomb last time it was stolen by force.>
Oct 07 21:48:32 <Saryx>	"... If that's the case, that we're gonna be waging war on Bondye..." Saryx stops to think. "... What the fuck was I talking to that night?!?"
Oct 07 21:48:35 <The_Ditto>	<Honestly I don't think this thing's an Arceus.  But the dumb lizard here ain't gonna say.  He can't.>
Oct 07 21:48:49 <Chase>	"So not Bondye."
Oct 07 21:49:13 <Chase>	"...Hmm..."
Oct 07 21:49:27 <Chase>	"Man, this shit."
Oct 07 21:49:39 <Chase>	"Well we gotta make sure to preserve the balance, either way."
Oct 07 21:50:00 <Saryx>	"... This is why it's always margarita time, Chase." He repeats that line just to try and make it sink in further.
Oct 07 21:50:27 <Saryx>	... Actually strike the 'to make it sink in further' bit he's just being silly. ... Sort of.
Oct 07 21:50:36 <Saryx>	He's totally planning for margarita time tonight.
Oct 07 21:51:11 <Genevieve>	"So, preserving balance, then."
Oct 07 21:51:24 <Genevieve>	"Alice or Flayed? Which one are we going to try to save first?"
Oct 07 21:51:47 <Chase>	"Flayed. Alice is probably okay for now, but that dude's out in the wild and might not even be up to speed."
Oct 07 21:52:01 <The_Ditto>	The lizard shies away when The Deciever speaks up.  1NO: <That little bastard's sworn to its maker.  It can't share much more than it has, even if he's feelin' generous today.>
Oct 07 21:52:07 <Saryx>	"Like we said yesterday (or the day before, I forget which with this weird IC time), The Flayed One's waaay more vulnerable."
Oct 07 21:52:47 <Chase>	"Then we come back and do everything we can for Alice."
Oct 07 21:52:48 <Saryx>	"Suppose Kal'fu did. What would happen to him if he did?"
Oct 07 21:53:25 »»	Chase nods down at his necklace. "Yeah, I get it."
Oct 07 21:53:29 <The_Ditto>	<Can you fwy?>
Oct 07 21:53:40 <The_Ditto>	<I cannot.  It is not possibwe.>
Oct 07 21:53:58 <Chase>	"Well, thanks anyway."
Oct 07 21:54:03 <The_Ditto>	<We are guawdians of secwets man was not meant to know.>
Oct 07 21:54:10 <The_Ditto>	He wriggles free and hides back under the bed again.
Oct 07 21:54:25 <Genevieve>	"Then we'll need the blind chick, yeah?"
Oct 07 21:54:38 <Chase>	"Yaretzi. Yeah. I spoke with her just before we left Thundercry."
Oct 07 21:55:19 <Genevieve>	"Should get her on the line again. We don't need to stay here much longer if she wants us to meet her."
Oct 07 21:56:23 <Chase>	"And I was looking forward to a little break, too. Well, we know what we want to do - let's at least inform Roland and see how long it'll take for them to make preparations - and we can finish enjoying ourselves in the meantime I guess."
Oct 07 21:56:27 <Chase>	"As much as we -can-."
Oct 07 21:59:13 »»	Genevieve nods. "Sounds like a plan to me."
Oct 07 22:00:15 <The_Ditto>	Your ditto in a jar has resigned itself to silence stewing about its situation.  It's rather pissed about its predicament, but helpless to free itself.
Oct 07 22:01:06 <Saryx>	"Yeah~ For all we know, we might not get a whole lot of time to relax once we're all on the move again."
Oct 07 22:01:37 <The_Ditto>	You guys hear a NEEEEEEEIIIIIIGH in the distance.  From outside.
Oct 07 22:01:42 <Genevieve>	"We should do something. Badges or Frontier st-"
Oct 07 22:01:54 »»	Genevieve heads over to a window to look.
Oct 07 22:02:43 »»	Chase gets on the phone and starts texting the dude in the usual breakfast cant. [The chef's gone wacko and started sabotaging other restaurants. Can you make time for Yaretzi to swing by and show us that place she's been raving about?]
Oct 07 22:02:43 <The_Ditto>	You see a familiar horsemasked face on a winged Rapidash, carrying a sack.  He lands on the small balcony and takes off the mask.
Oct 07 22:02:45 <Saryx>	"... Hunh?!?" The talk of these four horsemen's got Saryx on edge now. He too joins Gen at the window to partake in whatever horsefuckery's going on out there.
Oct 07 22:02:48 »»	The_Ditto is now known as Shawyun
Oct 07 22:03:04 <Shawyun>	"Hey hun.  Came bearing GIFTS.  Sorta."  He shakes the sack.
Oct 07 22:03:14 <Chase>	"Oh, sup, Shawyun."
Oct 07 22:03:43 <Saryx>	"Oh! Hey, Shawyun!"
Oct 07 22:04:45 <Chase>	"Nigga you a bit early for christmas. And you didn't even put antlers on the horse." he teases.
Oct 07 22:05:01 »»	Genevieve gets up and hugs him. "Shawyun~!"
Oct 07 22:06:04 <Shawyun>	He hugs you back and smooches ya.  "Hey ya'll!  Been a bit busy lately.  Thomas gave me a TASK.  Something about our phones aren't as reliable so we could use a back up communication."
Oct 07 22:06:19 <Shawyun>	"So I've sorta been flying around collecting these." He dumps out a bunch of letters.
Oct 07 22:06:44 <Genevieve>	"Magcargo mail is kind of...dated."
Oct 07 22:06:50 <Shawyun>	He sees the jar and goes "HOLY SHIT A DITTO - shucks just went I had a good idea where to find those you found one yourselves anyway."
Oct 07 22:06:52 <Chase>	"We've been getting mail? Huh, that's useful."
Oct 07 22:07:09 <Shawyun>	"And I almost stole a sled to do that joke, but Spookyhooves isn't big enough to help yet."
Oct 07 22:07:42 <Chase>	"Yeah, a ditto, pretty shitty circumstances all said and done. But what we got?"
Oct 07 22:07:54 <Shawyun>	"Lessee...you guys got..." He hands you guys a letter from Mir, Ammy, and Arnaldo.
Oct 07 22:09:13 »»	Chase takes what's addressed to him, curiously.
Oct 07 22:09:35 <Saryx>	"You want it, Shawyun? If you get Pop Rocks and dump 'em inside, it'll explode just like soda!" He braces for glaring from Gen. ... And buries his face in the letter from Mir, which he thanks Shawyun for, to avoid it.
Oct 07 22:10:06 <Shawyun>	There's also one addressed for Rosetta in particular.  Labeled from a 'T.D.'  But, that one gets put aside for her later of course.
Oct 07 22:10:22 <Saryx>	The tone of voice is clearly suggesting he's being silly with it, though. Not all too serious.
Oct 07 22:10:25 »»	Genevieve takes Arnaldo's, then. "He's not lying, they get all melty with sugar. These ones are totally psychotic evil though."
Oct 07 22:10:31 <Saryx>	Still won't likely save him from her wrath, though.
Oct 07 22:11:09 <Chase>	"...you were getting squicked out earlier and now you're talking about pop rocks?" he stares at Saryx.
Oct 07 22:11:17 <Chase>	"Well anyway, thanks, Shawyun." He gets to reading.
Oct 07 22:11:30 <Shawyun>	Arnaldo's letter is a rather snarky report at first about how his little fleet has been idling around the sight of that island.  He's not seen anyone approach yet, however.
Oct 07 22:11:50 <Shawyun>	When the island raises, there's been all sorts of tribal music coming from it, which is sorta creeping him and his men the fuck out.
Oct 07 22:12:09 <Shawyun>	And they've been hearing singing from the water at night.  They had to tie Shark Fighter to a chair so he wouldn't go hunting for whatever it was.
Oct 07 22:12:15 »»	Chase actually seems slightly relieved by this.
Oct 07 22:12:28 <Chase>	"Okay, that's good."
Oct 07 22:13:17 <Saryx>	"I didn't really mean it. I was just being goofy there. Besides, Gen would murder me if I actually gave it away to Shawyun!"
Oct 07 22:13:34 <Saryx>	"... Or try to, at least."
Oct 07 22:14:25 <Genevieve>	"Only cause you'd be giving my boyfriend a dangerous shapeshifting murder."
Oct 07 22:15:23 <Chase>	"If there's peaceful activity on the island it means they haven't had to go into hiding. Which means what we saw with Langlias has probably been isolated, for now at least."
Oct 07 22:15:28 <Saryx>	"He's my friend, too!" He snaps back defensively. "I care about Shawyun enough not to risk getting him killed."
Oct 07 22:15:47 <Shawyun>	"Well I sorta was gonna try to clobber one if I could find one and bring it to ya, since you mentioned you needed it.  Seems you beat me to that gift idea yourself. Hmmmmm."
Oct 07 22:16:21 <Saryx>	"Serious, though, Shawyun... You said you actually think you know where they're all hiding out, the Ditto?"
Oct 07 22:16:42 <Saryx>	He's looking up at him like this is a good thing.
Oct 07 22:16:59 <Chase>	"Yeah, I don't imagine it's exactly easy to find one..."
Oct 07 22:17:17 <Chase>	"This one and another were actually causing trouble here."
Oct 07 22:17:40 <Shawyun>	"I was reading some old mythology about them and their habits.  Did you know when they kill someone and take their place, they start hoarding the past owner's belongings?  They can get pretty insane collections of the junk..."
Oct 07 22:17:50 <Shawyun>	"I totally wasn't gonna start spying on hoarders or something, nope."
Oct 07 22:18:06 <Genevieve>	"Cause they don't have identities of their own. They're a little screwy."
Oct 07 22:18:38 <Saryx>	"Yup. They're all sorts of messed up in the head, these Ditto."
Oct 07 22:18:53 <Shawyun>	"Failing that I read something else about them hanging out around Clefaries, trying to blend in with them.  And I -heard- there's some Clefaries somewhere out in the desert of Blue Guard..."
Oct 07 22:19:04 <Shawyun>	The ditto in the bottle has no comments on this.
Oct 07 22:19:29 <Shawyun>	What letter do you guys look at next?
Oct 07 22:19:32 <Genevieve>	"Cle...fairies?" She glances over at the bottle. "Fairies? FAE?"
Oct 07 22:20:10 <Saryx>	Saryx starts to let out a bit of a sigh of disappointment that Shawyun wasn't actually onto something substantial. But then the lightbulb goes off with Gen's comment and the more tangible info, and he picks up the bottle. "... Is there any truth to what he's saying?"
Oct 07 22:22:14 <Shawyun>	"Yeah Clefaries.  Heard there's a lot on the moon too..."
Oct 07 22:22:52 <Shawyun>	"...Hope I win that raffle."
Oct 07 22:23:10 <Shawyun>	The Ditto doesn't really seem to want to speak anymore on this subject.
Oct 07 22:23:24 <Genevieve>	"I guess it should have been obvious. Fairies, space-related. They're probably all at least tangentially related to this."
Oct 07 22:23:48 <Saryx>	"Probably makes it all the easier for them to spy on us." He's oblivious to the fact Shawyun's got no clue what just transpired in here earlier, and that he's completely out of the loop.
Oct 07 22:24:49 <Saryx>	"... Should we take your silence as a 'yes'?"
Oct 07 22:25:01 <Chase>	"Raffle..? Well anyway." He picks up Mir's letter next hoping for news on the Unfeeling's dude.
Oct 07 22:25:09 <Shawyun>	Oh man do you get it.
Oct 07 22:25:37 <Shawyun>	The letter begins. "So we met this man you spoke of.  Sort of.  He's a machine.  Named Grey."
Oct 07 22:25:56 <Chase>	"Called it. Totally knew the dude was a bot."
Oct 07 22:26:09 »»	Chase continues reading.
Oct 07 22:26:15 <Shawyun>	"Grey was constructed from the unconcious will of The Unfeeling, and has been acting as his agent in the city above his shrine."
Oct 07 22:27:10 <Chase>	"Hey, by the way, can someone stuff that ditto somewhere out of eavesdrop range?"
Oct 07 22:27:36 <Shawyun>	"He is...well, a bit infatuated, I think, with me.  And he showed us how to get to it.  It's way, way down deep in the undercity, where the tribal grounds would have been."
Oct 07 22:28:00 <Chase>	"Aw fuck, Nick has a rival."
Oct 07 22:28:15 »»	Genevieve takes the Ditto to the bathroom and turns on the sink to max.
Oct 07 22:29:06 <Saryx>	"Sure thing, Chase!" Saryx takes the Ditto, boxes it, and moves it into the next room available. Like, maybe just tosses it into the bathroom or something for now.
Oct 07 22:29:06 <Shawyun>	"Long story short we met this Writer girl ourselves.  She passed a letter along for Rosetta.  Grey wishes to meet the other followers as soon as he can, but will continue to safeguard things until he can."
Oct 07 22:29:17 <Shawyun>	You hear a faint 'curse youuuuuuu' as the sink drowns out the sound.
Oct 07 22:29:21 <Chase>	"...whoa. Miracle Eye on the case."
Oct 07 22:29:38 <Genevieve>	"That's So Mir-Eye."
Oct 07 22:30:14 »»	Chase thumbs up at Gen and Saryx.
Oct 07 22:30:36 <Chase>	"So the Unfeeling's shrine is probably dangerously close to Jennifer's territory, eh."
Oct 07 22:30:43 <Shawyun>	"Also.  On the way down, I think we saw what Rosetta and Genevieve walked in on, that town.  It's...well, deserted.  Nothing left but the abandoned buildings.  I think this Reverse World thing is gonna be bad news for us."
Oct 07 22:30:46 <Chase>	"Or maybe a separate partition."
Oct 07 22:30:54 <Chase>	"Oh, there we go."
Oct 07 22:31:40 <Chase>	"Shit, looks like they made a new base."
Oct 07 22:31:56 <Shawyun>	"Chione's relieved with that news.  We're staying here for a bit to see if we can help Roland any with this Registeel.  We are going to try to safeguard the other Regis while we're at it.  You think we might be able to find where they kept this Jennifer girl when she was, well, imprisond down here?"
Oct 07 22:32:34 <Shawyun>	And that's the end of that letter.
Oct 07 22:32:51 <Shawyun>	Shawyun scratches his head, reading over a shoulder. "What the hell happened in that city?"
Oct 07 22:33:05 <Shawyun>	"All I heard from Thomas about it was he had to let that little hellraiser out of its ball."
Oct 07 22:33:17 <Chase>	"Yeah, uh."
Oct 07 22:33:47 <Chase>	"We kind of cleaned up a cult's operations there. We being pretty much all of the guild that was there."
Oct 07 22:34:33 <Chase>	"The Sons of Grant were not only monitoring all of our phones and meetups and shit, but also transporting tanks from Russia via fuckin' magic with a factory as a waypoint."
Oct 07 22:34:39 <Shawyun>	"And what's up with his new room mate? Shit, looks like a bomb went off in his apartment."
Oct 07 22:34:42 <Chase>	"Not to mention they had the run of the slums."
Oct 07 22:34:50 <Genevieve>	"Registeel that'd been pressed with evil Unown."
Oct 07 22:34:54 <Genevieve>	"And a video game girl."
Oct 07 22:35:36 <Saryx>	"Yeah, they pretty much nailed it. You should hear Thomas' description of how his room looks now that Alice is staying with him, though, Shawyun."
Oct 07 22:35:41 <Shawyun>	"Holy crap.  I missed all the fun." He GRUMPS a little.  "Well least sounds like everyone made it out okay."
Oct 07 22:35:57 <Chase>	"That's Queen Rhasha's daughter." he goes with the safer of the explanations. "She's hanging out for a while."
Oct 07 22:36:39 »»	Chase is actually surprised he didn't remember her from Veilbeakm
Oct 07 22:36:53 <Shawyun>	"Oh. Her? Wasn't she with you guys?"
Oct 07 22:37:02 <Shawyun>	(He didn't see her cause he snuck in when no one was there :P)
Oct 07 22:37:28 <Chase>	"Yeah, but now she's doing stuff with 'trice and the Frontier and Thomas was manhandled into giving her a room."
Oct 07 22:37:48 <Shawyun>	"...Oh yeah!" He digs around in the bag some while you guys continue to go through the letters.
Oct 07 22:38:46 »»	Chase looks over Ammy's now.
Oct 07 22:40:12 <Shawyun>	Ammy's starts off with a bit about how everyone's doing.  Anna's still being a downer, and something must be wrong with Garcia's head cause she's being nice to Gigi for once and far as she can tell hasn't done anything very slutty lately.
Oct 07 22:40:33 <Shawyun>	She's spent a good bit of time talking with Junior, and has found his tribe has a rather interesting creation myth.
Oct 07 22:42:57 »»	Chase reads further!
Oct 07 22:43:00 <Shawyun>	Long ago, a tribe once lived on that island, led by an old man.  They had a small village and shrine at the center of the isle.  The old man was a tutor and a scholar, and as far as legend goes, never aged.
Oct 07 22:43:10 <Shawyun>	One day, something disasterous happened.
Oct 07 22:44:23 <Shawyun>	The old man, well, shined with light, and all the people of the island disapeered.  Their forefathers came to be after this.  To this day, the tribes on that island consider that shrine to be a ceremonial place.
Oct 07 22:44:46 <Shawyun>	What she found interesting is he recognized Unowns from the ruins there.  They thought the Sons of Grant were gods at first because of this.
Oct 07 22:45:58 <Shawyun>	Here's what Ammy took away from this: Whatever happened there caused the Pokemon on that island to become like they are now.  She's at a loss what it means about the people who lived there, though.
Oct 07 22:47:20 <Shawyun>	What's also mentioned is The Sirens were mentioned in these myths, so they existed before the rest.
Oct 07 22:48:28 <Genevieve>	"Will mysteries never cease?"
Oct 07 22:49:19 <Shawyun>	Oh, one last thing on that letter.
Oct 07 22:49:30 <Chase>	"Huh..."
Oct 07 22:49:44 <Shawyun>	Junior mentions there -are- humans on that island.  They dwell at the shrine now.
Oct 07 22:49:56 <Chase>	"Fuck."
Oct 07 22:50:00 <Chase>	"Not so great."
Oct 07 22:50:29 <Shawyun>	Shawyun hands Saryx a letter after some time.  "Forgot about this one."
Oct 07 22:50:45 <Saryx>	"So the Sons are still around on the island, then... Maaan, that's not good."
Oct 07 22:51:14 <Saryx>	"You think they might be warping people onto the island the same way they did the tanks if that's the case?"
Oct 07 22:51:26 <Saryx>	Ooh, another letter! "Thanks, Shawyun! Really appreciate it!" He pops it open.
Oct 07 22:51:30 <Shawyun>	Well, let me clarify
Oct 07 22:51:34 <Shawyun>	those folks have been there a while
Oct 07 22:51:38 <Chase>	Ohh
Oct 07 22:51:56 <Chase>	"Hmm... dunno what to make of this."
Oct 07 22:52:10 <Shawyun>	The letter for Saryx is black with gold embroidery, and a familiar wax seal.
Oct 07 22:53:24 <Saryx>	Saryx headtilts. The House Fauxicore seal?
Oct 07 22:54:10 <Shawyun>	Inside in fancy script reads. "Dear Suitor, Given your interest in the daughter of the house, you have been enrolled in and the Master's uncertainties on each of you, you have been invited to a challenge.  May the best man, or woman, be victorious.  You shall hear more soon."
Oct 07 22:54:36 <Saryx>	". . ."
Oct 07 22:55:25 <Saryx>	"Hunh?!?" It takes Saryx a moment to process this. "... Oh, riiight... Miss Yvonne's thing with finding a new heir to the Darkfeather Gym."
Oct 07 22:55:36 <Chase>	"Pffft."
Oct 07 22:55:41 <Saryx>	Actually, wait.
Oct 07 22:55:43 <Chase>	"Well then! Good luck with that, Saryx."
Oct 07 22:56:19 <Genevieve>	"You're actually going for Trice?"
Oct 07 22:56:21 <Saryx>	Fuck hold a sec, Beatrice wanted to be discrete about that. Shit. Hands go straight to mouth.
Oct 07 22:56:43 <Genevieve>	"You sure you wouldn't rather go for Roland?"
Oct 07 22:56:47 <Genevieve>	"Be way easier."
Oct 07 22:57:11 <Saryx>	"... Hey, Shawyun?"
Oct 07 22:57:20 <Saryx>	Saryx looks to him, about to ask a stupid question.
Oct 07 22:57:42 <Shawyun>	There's a list of names: Sandeep Reddy, Richard Thyme, Brave Bird, The Von Fraenirs, Father Ruth, Carl the Breakfastmancer, and your own name, Saryx.
Oct 07 22:57:52 <Shawyun>	Yvonne has jokingly dubbed you The League of Evil Suitors
Oct 07 22:58:33 <Shawyun>	scribbled hastily at the end of this list is Alice Rhasha as well.
Oct 07 22:58:37 <Saryx>	"How mad would you be at me if I clobbered your girlfriend right in front of you?"
Oct 07 22:59:01 <Chase>	"Easy there. Wait, is that Alice's name?"
Oct 07 22:59:08 <Shawyun>	"I'd probably have to wup your ass."
Oct 07 22:59:10 <Shawyun>	"Just sayin'."
Oct 07 22:59:46 »»	Genevieve wraps her arms around Shawyun. "I actually found someone moderately sane to date, Saryx, you should give it a try."
Oct 07 23:00:12 <Saryx>	Saryx looks at the two, as if contemplating a weighty decision.
Oct 07 23:01:08 <Shawyun>	Shawyun's got a lacross stick with him, it's on Flutterdew's saddle.
Oct 07 23:01:20 <Chase>	"Bet you wouldn't say that to her face." he snickers.
Oct 07 23:01:55 »»	Genevieve shrugs. "She's no scarier than an evil clone."
Oct 07 23:02:13 <Saryx>	What does he want more? To keep his friend, or beat down Gen? This takes him a good twenty seconds to contemplate, culminating with a reluctant sigh. "You're real lucky the rule of thumb is 'Bros Before Hoes,' Gen."
Oct 07 23:02:34 <Shawyun>	Shawyun has to bap you for that one.
Oct 07 23:02:49 <Chase>	"I dunno what your beef is with Beatrice anyway, she seems cool."
Oct 07 23:02:58 <Shawyun>	It's a rather hard bap too.  Saryx gets an injury!
Oct 07 23:05:08 <Saryx>	"Owwwww!" Saryx curls up, clutching onto his head (as Bother deems Shawyun bapped him there with no specific target area) "Easy, Shawyun! That one was a joke!"
Oct 07 23:05:34 <Shawyun>	"Well sorry that was sorta uncalled for!"
Oct 07 23:05:43 <Saryx>	"I was just saying beating her to a pulp wasn't worth losing you as a friend! 'cause really, she always does this!"
Oct 07 23:06:44 <Genevieve>	"Shawyun," she says, changing the subject, "What badge do you think I should go for while I'm here?"
Oct 07 23:07:51 <Shawyun>	"Oh yeah that's a thing now huh.  Hrrrrm... I heard the Buccaneer Badge is sorta fun to do and they did a lot to make it cool here too.  But normally, that leader challenges -you-!"
Oct 07 23:07:54 <Saryx>	He grabs the letter and looks back at it. "... Auuu, what were you saying about Ali--... Maaaaaaaaaaaaaaan is this gonna be awkward later."
Oct 07 23:08:21 <Chase>	"Awkward, or fun. Don't screw it up, either way." he gives Saryx a playful hair tussle.
Oct 07 23:08:36 <Chase>	"But nah, man, you got this. The fuck is Ruth doing on that list though."
Oct 07 23:09:09 <Chase>	"Let's not even consider some of the stuff that's popped up recently, I don't think she'd go for the preacherman type."
Oct 07 23:09:20 <Shawyun>	"Sudden Tempest wasn't that bad a challenge, but I think the point of his challenge was sorta lost on us."
Oct 07 23:10:00 <Chase>	"...and isn't that Dahlia's last name? Shit, we about to see some of her family?"
Oct 07 23:10:08 <Shawyun>	"Ben and I challenged Chione when she first started and did pretty damn well, but you got type issues there huh?"
Oct 07 23:10:31 <Chase>	He squints. "Not even that but it's plural."
Oct 07 23:10:43 <Shawyun>	"You guys consider the other challenges yet too? Like, the ones in Sandseeker and Shiverwing?  They aren't really fights, more like...dares."
Oct 07 23:10:52 <Genevieve>	"Yeah, Chione's always been kind of ahead of me."
Oct 07 23:10:58 <Saryx>	Saryx continues to look over the list, trying to see who he recognizes. "... Yeah, Father Ruth is there? ... And Carl?!? Who even made this list?!?"
Oct 07 23:10:58 <Genevieve>	"I don't see why it'd be different now."
Oct 07 23:11:09 »»	Chase looks up. "Dares? Huh."
Oct 07 23:11:24 <Shawyun>	"I ain't tellin'.  The one in Shiverwing is hilarious though."
Oct 07 23:11:25 <Chase>	"Yeah I'm not entirely sure what we're going for at the moment, but we probably only got time for one."
Oct 07 23:11:29 <Shawyun>	"Least from what Biggy Lil told us."
Oct 07 23:11:35 <Shawyun>	"Ben and I didn't do that one yet."
Oct 07 23:12:08 »»	Shawyun looks like he isn't sure if he wants to spoil it or not.
Oct 07 23:12:31 <Saryx>	Back to reality for a moment as he puts the letter away. "... When we do the Gym eventually, then, would you two wanna come with?"
Oct 07 23:13:08 <Shawyun>	"Yes."
Oct 07 23:15:18 <Chase>	"Sounds fun to me."
Oct 07 23:15:37 <Genevieve>	"That could be interesting."
Oct 07 23:16:15 <Chase>	"Anyway, Tempest sounds like the best option to me while we're here."
Oct 07 23:16:58 <Chase>	"Going in person to Sandseeker and Shiverwing, and then the leader with the Bucaneer badge finds you, huh..."
Oct 07 23:17:03 <Chase>	"That just leaves Chione."
Oct 07 23:18:42 »»	Saryx is now known as Botherer
Oct 07 23:18:50 »»	Botherer is now known as Saryx
Oct 07 23:18:56 <Genevieve>	"I'll need help on that one."
Oct 07 23:19:04 <Genevieve>	"One on one, Chione will beat me every time."
Oct 07 23:19:08 <Chase>	"I didn't figure we were doing any of these alone, were we?"
Oct 07 23:19:24 <Chase>	"Is that what you were going for?"
Oct 07 23:19:26 <Shawyun>	"Oh, Chione's is 2 at a time."
Oct 07 23:19:41 <Shawyun>	"So there's that I guess?"
Oct 07 23:19:43 <Saryx>	"Hers is for pairs? That's interesting."
Oct 07 23:20:11 <Chase>	"As far as solo challenges go... we've heard a lot about how strong Alice is."
Oct 07 23:20:24 <Chase>	"I'm actually itching to fight her sometime just to see how much she lives up to that."
Oct 07 23:20:30 <Saryx>	"And don't forget she has Connor with her."
Oct 07 23:20:41 <Chase>	"Yeah... we haven't seen much of her others besides Thor."
Oct 07 23:21:03 <Chase>	"Hoping she wouldn't just lead with Connor or something."
Oct 07 23:21:22 <Shawyun>	"I got no idea about that chick.  Her mom's pretty tough too from what Thomas said.  And that's coming from a guy with a butt load of heavy metal."
Oct 07 23:21:28 <Saryx>	"You remember what he did to that giant spider we ran into in Venomtalon? I think she'd just demolish us with him."
Oct 07 23:21:46 <Chase>	"Oh yeah, Shawyun, were you going on a return trip by any chance?"
Oct 07 23:21:58 <Shawyun>	"Yup!'
Oct 07 23:22:12 <Saryx>	"... Doesn't he have all Steel Pokemon, though? If I remember what the types for her Gym were, shouldn't he just walk all over her?"
Oct 07 23:22:16 »»	Shawyun shakes the sack, waiting for letters to be deposited.
Oct 07 23:22:22 <Chase>	"Okay, I was thinking about writing up some responses. I wanted to talk to Ammy in person but over the phone really isn't the best right now."
Oct 07 23:22:43 <Shawyun>	"Bugs are pretty flexible, man. Like horses."
Oct 07 23:22:49 <Shawyun>	"Fire bugs, ground bugs, fight bugs..."
Oct 07 23:23:16 <Genevieve>	"Most of them burn the same."
Oct 07 23:23:39 »»	<Chase> drops in replies for Ammy, Mir and Arnaldo, all of which he retroactively wrote during all the talking. Kain will probably tell Zoof what's -actually- in these later.
Oct 07 23:23:50 <Shawyun>	Fair enough, Chase!
Oct 07 23:24:21 <Chase>	"Oh yeah, Shawyun. Gimme your hand for a sec."
Oct 07 23:24:26 <Genevieve>	"Ah, right, it's been awhile. Most of my team evolved. Some a few times." She nods to Shawyun. "And I caught that weird Froslad."
Oct 07 23:25:28 <Shawyun>	"That party fouling son of a beach?  Awesome!"
Oct 07 23:28:03 <Genevieve>	"Mmhm. Maybe I can do a little better in the arena ladder, too."
Oct 07 23:28:47 »»	Chase slaps the back of Shawyun's hand after a moment, whether he responds or not. BAM banana sticker. Chase offers no explanation and goes to putting the sheet of stickers back into his things.
Oct 07 23:28:59 <Shawyun>	"I heard rumblings about them starting a tournament soonish here.  Sounds like a long running thing, not all at once.  Might sign up myself."
Oct 07 23:29:24 »»	Shawyun looks to it and :O's
Oct 07 23:29:28 <Shawyun>	"Why is it so majestic."
Oct 07 23:30:24 <Chase>	"They're something, that's for sure. And... a tournement, huh? I've been interested in getting competitive, too."
Oct 07 23:31:32 <Chase>	"Gonna need some cash first, though."
Oct 07 23:32:18 <Chase>	"Probably gonna pay Biggie Lils a visit or two and probably Thornberry's as well."
