You Wouldn't Pirate Godville

Oct 04 10:05:07 <Melons> There's some loud pounding on both Knox and Lesieli's doors, curiously enough at the same time and a Melanie knocking at each. Substantially less curious is the fact that the one at Knox's door doesn't quite have her jitteriness or mannerisms, and if pressed to talk would have considerable difficulty actually speaking words.
Oct 04 10:05:25 <Knox> What time is it when she does this?
Oct 04 10:06:09 <Melons> Mmmm, when did we get back from the thug life? Maybe an hour after that to account for Reeve fusion?
Oct 04 10:07:02 <Knox> He opens the door since he doesn't recognize the knock, though raises an eyebrow when it's just her anyway.
Oct 04 10:08:11 <Melons> The Melanie (that is totally not a Zoroark, why would you even suggest that?) simply points down the hall in the direction of Melanie's room before turning back into a fluffy wolfghost thing.
Oct 04 10:09:44 <Knox> "...Oh." He heads down the hall either way.
Oct 04 10:10:26 <Melons> The knocks on Lesieli's door continue once more, even louder and quicker than before.
Oct 04 10:11:58 <Lesieli> And it finally opens "What, you finally ready for whatever it is you wanted?"
Oct 04 10:13:07 <Melons> "We're talking to Nuakea, come with me." Melanie tries to grab Les by the wrist and drag the girl back to her room.
Oct 04 10:13:42 * Lesieli doesn't object, must be kinda important if she's being this pushy about it
Oct 04 10:17:06 <Melons> Likely arriving at her room as Knox does, she simply opens the door and ushers them all inside. If Luna isn't already in there, she just shouts her name out down the halls.
Oct 04 10:18:41 <Aori_Radidjiu> Luna's there, already.  She's in her underwear, yawning.  "Oh, maybe I should've worn a little more to sleep.  Eh."
Oct 04 10:20:39 <Melons> There's a bottle of milk out and several glasses. "Think we just need to drink it, that right Luna?"
Oct 04 10:21:02 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Drink and go to sleep~"
Oct 04 10:21:44 <Knox> "I don't have the entire evening, but sounds fine to me."
Oct 04 10:22:40 <Melons> "Yesyes, your little girlfriend or whatever, shouldn't be a problem, I think god things happen more quickly..." Or maybe more slowly. She really has no idea. "Any questions?"
Oct 04 10:23:07 <Knox> He waits for Mel to pour the bottles, knowing damn well where the milk came from. He just rolls his eyes at the 'girlfriend' comment.
Oct 04 10:27:50 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I'm good to go."
Oct 04 10:29:01 * Lesieli is too tired from combat to think straight much yet, no questions here
Oct 04 10:29:43 <Knox> "Hit us up."
Oct 04 10:29:47 <Melons> She glances around her room, frowning at what looks like a nuclear test site before fetching a few pillows and blankets to put down. With the precision of a bartender, Mel lines up the four glasses and pours the milk into them, taking great care to get nearly identical amounts in each and distributing them to each participant. "Well uh...just...drink it and let yourself drift to sleep, I guess." Mel chugs her own milk, only a li
Oct 04 10:29:47 <Melons> ttle bit of a complete look of embarrassed disgust afterwards.
Oct 04 10:30:40 * Knox downs the hatch.
Oct 04 10:32:24 <Knox> He sets his glass down without much of a hassle.
Oct 04 10:32:37 <Knox> And then he lays back and relaxes on a pillow.
Oct 04 10:33:15 <Aori_Radidjiu> Luna drinks it up fast.  "Time for sleepies~" She lays down as well.
Oct 04 10:33:19 <Melons> Embarrassment intensifes. After watching other PEOPLE drink her milk, Melanie goes to lie down on her bed and face the wall.
Oct 04 10:35:11 * Lesieli thankfully doesn't think too much about the milk, there's enough embarrassment going on in the room as is
Oct 04 10:41:04 <Aori_Radidjiu> It takes a little while, but you all drift off...eventually 'waking' in a field, just outside a two story building, looking a bit like a school or orphanage.  Outside there are a variety of women (and a handful of men) taking care and watching over a large number of children, the children looking to be anywhere from newborns to young toddlers.  The adults working here all seem to be
Oct 04 10:41:05 <Aori_Radidjiu> dressed in white gowns reminiscent of nurse's outfits, the one for women notably buttoning up in front, to make it easier for them to unbutton to breastfeed the babies (which a few are doing).
Oct 04 10:43:02 <Aori_Radidjiu> You're all in your usual dream world attire, which I guess varies for Melanie depending on whether she's godly or not.  Luna is in a slightly translucent pink gown that covers her whole body loosely, and flutters and sways all about as she moves.
Oct 04 10:43:21 <Knox> "...huh. An... orphanage?" he wonders if this goddess actually takes in abandoned kids or if people off their firstborns to her or something.
Oct 04 10:43:25 <Knox> *offer
Oct 04 10:44:55 <Melons> We doin' all this dream shit godly now. Mel pulls herself off the ground with some effort as the large Reeve Skeleton contracts to conform to her body, which is noticably very SLIGHTLY tanner than previous with a few strands of purple hair. As a reminder, the skeletal aspect had been the weird generic bone worm, so she's now looking more like Melssingno than before. "I expected...something...lewder."
Oct 04 10:46:01 * You are now known as Ululane
Oct 04 10:48:07 <Knox> "I was expecting a farm." he says, heading over to the door.
Oct 04 10:48:41 <Ululane> Ululane shudders and crosses her arms in front of her as she follows. "Gross..."
Oct 04 10:49:22 <Knox> "Possibly not the same farm you're thinking of."
Oct 04 10:49:58 <Lesieli> Well huh, if this is a godworld, probably should go godmode myself too.  Gotta keep up appearances.
Oct 04 10:50:09 <Lesieli> Well, gotta make an appearance first I guess
Oct 04 10:51:08 <Aori_Radidjiu> Luna follows along, taking in the sights.  "Hm, I see~"  Her gown will NOT stop looking like it's about to fall off, if you look at her you keep SWEARING it started falling off but didn't.
Oct 04 10:51:47 <Ululane> "So...do we knock...oooor?"
Oct 04 10:52:39 <Aori_Radidjiu> Door's open.  Inside, there's a sign that says THE MATRON is on the second floor, room 250.
Oct 04 10:53:49 <Ululane> Lulu looks at the sign with a snort. "In before we all discover we actually lived at the same orphanage for a time and knew each other."
Oct 04 10:56:19 <Knox> "What kind of retarded plot twist is that?"
Oct 04 10:56:30 * Knox heads in.
Oct 04 10:56:48 * Ululane follows.
Oct 04 10:59:45 <Aori_Radidjiu> Doesn't take much work to navigate the building and find the room in question.  The door's wide in it, and in it is a familiar sight, Nuakea (appearance approximately the same, slightly older looking, a little bigger in the chest and height) breastfeeding a baby, wearing nothing but a grass skirt that goes to her knees.  "Hey.  Was expecting you guys."
Oct 04 11:03:22 <Ululane> Lulu gives her an awkward look, sort of standing to the side...and then quietly looks back at herself.
Oct 04 11:04:05 <Knox> "Nuakea. What's up." he says casually. "Interesting realm." he says, more or less meaning it. He doesn't really like kids but he does find himself curious about the whole thing. He gives a look back at Melanie though when she's gone quiet.
Oct 04 11:05:11 <Aori_Radidjiu> Skin's darker too, obviously.  She gives Lulu a blank stare.  "Grow up, girl.  Anyway, yeah, this is my place.  I take care of dream world children, which are usually products of dreams that don't have much purpose otherwise, or infantile forms of gods.  You get the idea."
Oct 04 11:05:52 <Ululane> "N-No, it wasn't...I mean...you were...uh...in...me..." Now she phrased that all wrong.
Oct 04 11:06:31 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I was.  Do you have a problem with that?"
Oct 04 11:07:06 <Knox> "So that's what the kids are. I see... that really is something." he muses.
Oct 04 11:07:42 <Ululane> "Imeanitisn'tnormal..." She pseudomumble while looking away from Nuakea. This is a terrible first impression. "...uh...I'm...Ululane...since...we didn't formally meet...before..."
Oct 04 11:09:10 <Aori_Radidjiu> "What isn't normal?  Being possessed by a goddess?  I'll give you that, but you should be honored.  Lactating?  It's good for your health."
Oct 04 11:09:25 <Ululane> "...it's a distraction when we're fighting..."
Oct 04 11:11:27 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I'm sure there's some being somewhere that can aid you in becoming male if your breasts bother you that much."
Oct 04 11:12:27 <Knox> "Hey, hey, hey. Relax, ladies."
Oct 04 11:12:54 <Ululane> "I-Iwasn'tryingtosoundung- oh fuck it..." She rubs her eyes like she's got a headache. "...I...wanted to know...I mean...I'd like to ask you...if uh...you could help me...get one of these." She waves a hand towards the everything around them.
Oct 04 11:14:06 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Babies?  Well, when a man loves a woman...I'm pretty sure you know the whole deal.  Be more specific."
Oct 04 11:14:36 <Ululane> "A...realm...thing..." She didn't expect to hate Nuakea as much as she is.
Oct 04 11:16:02 <Ululane> "...and like getting an afterlife...for...other things...is that something I can do?"
Oct 04 11:16:38 * Lesieli This is turning out to me more entertaining than I thought~
Oct 04 11:18:00 <Aori_Radidjiu> "There we go.  Now, it's definitely something you can do, and it's something I can help you with, but it's not something you can do instantly.  First off, you can only work on it while you're in the dream world like here, and second off, you already have a plot of land, it's just shaping it that's the hard part.  I could take you to it, if you want."
Oct 04 11:18:29 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Mele here has already constructed her realm, although it's a bit unrefined."
Oct 04 11:18:57 <Knox> He avoids making the obvious joke about plots of land.
Oct 04 11:20:04 <Ululane> "Uh...okay...and thanks..." That wasn't fire, she was really expecting Nuakea would shoot fire and brimstone after all that. Wait, those aren't in her domains. Uh...molten...titmi- oh god, stahp brain.
Oct 04 11:20:38 <Aori_Radidjiu> "You're welcome.  Shall we go there now, then?"  She stands up, still holding the baby.
Oct 04 11:21:29 <Ululane> "S-Sure..."
Oct 04 11:22:54 <Knox> "What happened to all of your confidence from yesterday?" he asks Lulu a bit on the hush.
Oct 04 11:24:04 <Ululane> "I was in-character...also those people weren't gods..."
Oct 04 11:25:34 <Aori_Radidjiu> Nuakea hands the baby in her arms to one of the nurses, and then puts on a loose-fitting blouse, half-buttoning it.  "All right, follow me, then.  I want you all to think of your destination as Ululane's domain, direction isn't as important in this world as intent."
Oct 04 11:27:05 * Knox imagines them heading into some shadowy guarded place deep within Mel's mind.
Oct 04 11:27:12 <Aori_Radidjiu> With that said, she leads you all out of the orphanage into the surrounding fields, and keeps walking straight out.
Oct 04 11:27:44 <Knox> Though he thinks better of it and swaps from thinking of 'Mel' to 'Ululane'
Oct 04 11:28:21 * Ululane just thinks of home. You don't want to be going to shadowy guarded places deep within her mind.
Oct 04 11:29:31 <Aori_Radidjiu> As you all walk, the sky clouds up and eventually darkens to late night, with a crescent moon being the only light in the area.  A forest appears, the trees starting out vibrant and green but eventually you all are walking among skeletons of trees, and snow begins falling, lightly coating the ground.  There are no paths in this forest, the ground all being equally worn.  "Hm, no direction
Oct 04 11:29:31 <Aori_Radidjiu> now.  Ululane, take us to the center, then."
Oct 04 11:30:14 <Knox> Knox is wearing nothing but pants in his dreamworld iteration. Sucks to be him.
Oct 04 11:31:18 <Aori_Radidjiu> Nuakea isn't wearing shoes, but she doesn't seem bothered by it.  Luna isn't wearing shoes either.  Nuakea remarks, "You're only as cold as you want to be here, just don't let the scenery convince yourself you're cold and you're golden."
Oct 04 11:33:08 <Ululane> "Hm? Mmm..." She glances at the barren trees and a joyful tear comes to her eye. She really didn't think she'd get to see them again. She begins to lead them in a deliberate direction, occasionally taking a few steps one way only to turn back and pick a different direction.
Oct 04 11:33:43 <Lesieli> Aww, how dark and depressing.  Poor Mel, having a place like this as her realm
Oct 04 11:34:15 <Knox> He keeps that advice in mind as he heads on. Personally, apart from the snow the place is kind of comforting. Plenty of places for a a predator to lurk.
Oct 04 11:37:53 <Aori_Radidjiu> Eventually, you come to a clearing, in which there is not but a bonfire and a few log seats.  "Ah, here we are, then."  Nuakea sits on the seat.  "No dwelling yet, as you can see."
Oct 04 11:38:40 <Aori_Radidjiu> er, a seat.  There's enough seats to seat all of you, at least.
Oct 04 11:40:01 <Ululane> With a glint in her eye, Lulu takes a seat before the flames, watching them with some excitement. "...so...this place is mine?"
Oct 04 11:40:03 <Aori_Radidjiu> also *naught, not not
Oct 04 11:40:11 <Aori_Radidjiu> Nuakea nods.  "It's yours."
Oct 04 11:40:23 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Nothing's here, though, besides scenery."
Oct 04 11:40:55 <Knox> "Sitting around a campfire in a dark forest exchanging ghost stories can have its own merit and meaning." he remarks. "But yeah, she probably wants something more elaborate?"
Oct 04 11:40:56 <Lesieli> "Yeah, this place definitely needs some spicing up"
Oct 04 11:41:01 <Ululane> "So how do I get...people?"
Oct 04 11:41:26 <Knox> "I'd wager they're worshippers who've pledged their service to you or something."
Oct 04 11:42:14 <Aori_Radidjiu> "That's step 2 of population, is worshippers.  Step 1 is getting dream world residents to inhabit this place and establish some sort of community."
Oct 04 11:43:03 <Ululane> "Kanaloa was able to actively pull people in to punish them...is that Step 3 then?"
Oct 04 11:43:54 <Aori_Radidjiu> "About, yeah.  Maybe more like step 4.  3 would be establishing a natural reason for people to come, you can't pull non-worshippers non-naturally until you establish a natural reason to come."
Oct 04 11:44:20 <Ululane> Frown. "...I don't think Swanna wanted me messing with dream world people...because of my uh...condition."
Oct 04 11:45:16 <Knox> "I don't see what she can do about it if they come to you."
Oct 04 11:45:56 <Aori_Radidjiu> "She doesn't want you messing with the library, or screwing anything up.  If you have someone supervising you, like me, and making sure that you don't cause any trouble, then she won't do anything.  She's the slow to act sort, she doesn't do anything unless she deems it necessary."
Oct 04 11:46:55 <Ululane> "You'd...really do that for me?" Of course considering her nature, it makes less sense to NOT do that. She does look touched though.
Oct 04 11:47:38 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I'd prefer you give me something back, but I'm the generous sort."
Oct 04 11:47:54 <Ululane> "Like...what?"
Oct 04 11:48:17 <Knox> "I think we established something that'd help her out a good deal already." he mentions.
Oct 04 11:49:13 <Ululane> "W-Well it's not like I was planning on getting my tubes tied or anything..." She's noticably less awkward about it, seeking comfort in the dancing flames of the bonfire.
Oct 04 11:49:30 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Up to you.  Volunteer work?  I don't know, you're an adult, you can figure that out."
Oct 04 11:49:53 <Knox> "...I meant the smear campaign, but if you really want..."
Oct 04 11:50:04 <Knox> "Anyway."
Oct 04 11:50:58 <Ululane> Lulu whispers to Knox. "She sounded a lot nicer in the video..."
Oct 04 11:51:00 <Knox> "What's she got to do to improve the place?"
Oct 04 11:51:22 <Ululane> Cash shop? This is the fucking cash shop feature isn't it.
Oct 04 11:51:44 <Aori_Radidjiu> "The people you invite here will work on it."
Oct 04 11:52:08 <Knox> He leans over, returning the whisper. "I think she's still pretty chill, but practical-minded. And don't forget you're representing a member of her pantheon, too."
Oct 04 11:52:19 <Aori_Radidjiu> "You've already set the tone, you need to find residents that fit with your desired function, you get the idea."
Oct 04 11:53:05 <Ululane> "So when I'm here working on it, do I just like...will them here? Or...do I have to like go back into the general dream city to get people? Also can I invite Darkrais and other abominations, or is that a nono?"
Oct 04 11:54:21 <Aori_Radidjiu> "You work together with them, the residents you invite are supposed to LIVE here, after all."
Oct 04 11:55:40 <Knox> "So... less bonfire and more campground... or cabin in the woods. Or hell, maybe make a ski lodge out here and have the lift and slope represent the cycle of life and death." he says somewhat jokingly.
Oct 04 11:56:39 <Knox> 3d6+1d6+1 Focus check to materialize hot cocoa.
Oct 04 11:56:50 <Ululane> "Nuh uh, amphitheater, barrow combination. Can you not see it?"
Oct 04 11:57:26 <Ululane> (Where's that slut DiceMaid?)
Oct 04 11:58:47 * DiceMaid-9001 (DiceMaid-9@sux-EADD5C74) has joined
Oct 04 11:58:57 <Knox> 3d6+1d6+1
Oct 04 11:58:58 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, 3d6+1d6+1: 14 [3d6=3,6,2; 1d6=2]
Oct 04 11:59:15 <Aori_Radidjiu> There's your cocoa.  Tastes a little off, but it's cocoa.
Oct 04 11:59:33 <Ululane> "Alright, so...can I just come here when I sleep myself then?"
Oct 04 11:59:51 <Knox> A steaming cup pops into his hand and he drinks it, frowning at something a moment, but shakes his head.
Oct 04 12:01:01 <Knox> "So what, they live in the barrow? All the warm commodities of the crypt for sure."
Oct 04 12:01:34 <Aori_Radidjiu> Nuakea nods.  "That's right."
Oct 04 12:03:40 <Ululane> Brief pouty face at Knox before turning back to Nuakea with a smile. "I think...that's everything I need to start with..." And hey, she didn't nix the abominations! Of course she has to make sure they get along with other residents...maybe they can be like guard dogs. "Thanks, mo-" Ohgodwhatdidshealmostsaynowit'sweird.
Oct 04 12:04:03 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Oh, and as for the Darkrai and other things..."
Oct 04 12:04:12 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Only take them if you think you can handle them."
Oct 04 12:04:50 <Aori_Radidjiu> She smirks.  "You can call me 'mom' if you want."
Oct 04 12:06:12 <Ululane> "S-Since I still have a mother...you can be my...godmother..." Awkwardness intensifies. "...but if Mele had nothing to ask...shirtless has a date to get to."
Oct 04 12:06:39 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I can wake him up without waking up the rest of you."
Oct 04 12:06:41 <Knox> He playfully shoves Mel a bit. "I'm just to go talk to some old friends."
Oct 04 12:06:46 <Lesieli> Nope, just enjoying the ride~
Oct 04 12:07:55 <Knox> "But yeah, go ahead and send me back, if you would. I appreciate it. Nice seeing you again."
Oct 04 12:08:16 <Aori_Radidjiu> Nuakea walks over to Knox and flicks his forehead, and he pops like a balloon.
Oct 04 12:08:44 <Aori_Radidjiu> ...without any leftover Knox scraps like that would imply
Oct 04 12:09:24 * Ululane cringes a bit. She doesn't want to see thath appen in real life ever.
Oct 04 12:09:37 <Knox> Knox ain't ever gonna leave you baby.
Oct 04 12:09:53 <Ululane> No, just the baloon bit, gross.
Oct 04 12:10:03 <Knox> With that, the Knox in the waking world gets up and gets ready to head out.
Oct 04 12:10:30 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Now, Mele, I imagine any questions you have about your realm have been answered...what about you, Luna?"
Oct 04 12:11:43 <Aori_Radidjiu> Luna smirks.  "Well, I don't have a realm to ask about...I'm mostly just curious.  I thought about doing something for you, but I don't know what to ask for in return...lactating would make some of my outfits not fit anymore..."
Oct 04 12:12:05 <Ululane> "...should I be worried?" She's worried.
Oct 04 12:12:25 <Aori_Radidjiu> Luna quirks an eyebrow.  "Worried about what?"
Oct 04 12:13:07 <Ululane> "...last time you thought about how to bargain with a god, I got pushed into an aweso- awful whirlpool thing."
Oct 04 12:14:13 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I wanted to learn Kanaloa's magic and all, and it was you who needed help with that.  Unless you want me to think of a way for you to do her a favor?"
Oct 04 12:15:22 <Ululane> "...well if you can think of something sure, but I'm leaving before you make YOUR request!"
Oct 04 12:17:09 <Ululane> Granted, she does actually have criminals to get to the popo since she won't be able to tortu- make them pay for their sins anytime soon and a friend to be a nervous wreck about.
Oct 04 12:17:18 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I don't HAVE a request, I'm not interested in anything Nuakea has to offer, no offense."  Nuakea shrugs, before Luna continues.  "Easiest thing I can think of for you to do is to breastfeed a baby until it's too old for it, or have one and breastfeed it, or just do part time work at her orphanage, or donate your milk to some institution.  Stuff like that."
Oct 04 12:18:36 <Ululane> "Fine, whatever, you get me pregnandwhatdidIsay?!" Melanie would like to wake up now.
Oct 04 12:19:22 <Aori_Radidjiu> Luna giggles.  "Just ask Knox to Knox you up!  Or something.  I'm not interested in finding a way to use my DNA to impregnate you."
Oct 04 12:20:46 <Aori_Radidjiu> She puts a finger to her cheek.  "My Gardevoir is humanoid enough, maybe you could have a pokemon baby with him in your pokemon form."
Oct 04 12:21:03 * Ululane is a mix of embarrassed and hurt. I mean, yeah it would be weird as fuck, but she's not even a little bit interested in thinking about i- ohgodwhatisshesuggesting. "I'mreadytogonow."
Oct 04 12:22:05 <Knox> Definutely a fortunate thing Knox wasn't around for that one.
Oct 04 12:23:05 <Ululane> Relationship spaghetti would be EVERYWHERE.
Oct 04 12:23:27 <Aori_Radidjiu> Luna giggles some more.  "Guess I am too."
Oct 04 12:23:36 <Aori_Radidjiu> Nuakea turns to Lesieli.  "Mele, you ready to go?"
Oct 04 12:24:23 <Lesieli> "If the show's over, sure"
Oct 04 12:24:54 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Bye then."  She snaps her fingers and you three all wake up, in the morning.
