(1:23:10 PM) Kalga: LAST TIME, ON EXALTED: Nothing happened. This is the first session! D:
(1:23:41 PM) Kalga: Reana's playing with some of the new maids. Where are you guys?
(1:24:30 PM) Reana: (that makes it sound like something naughty. notthatthere'sanythingwrongwiththat of course.)
(1:24:34 PM) ***Kyrk is settled on the comfiest beanbag ever, playing his sanxian quietly and jotting down notes, lyrics, chords and the like.
(1:24:55 PM) Kalga: (Who knows? She might.)
(1:25:00 PM) ***Emerald has absolutely no idea where the hell he is
(1:25:07 PM) Reana: (this is now canon, she is)
(1:25:23 PM) Reana is now known as Reana_AFK
(1:25:55 PM) ***Vai is playing Sijan Zombie Stompers on impossible difficulty.
(1:27:58 PM) ***Kyrk peaks up, "Guys, what rhymes with 'intermolecular subterfuge'? ... Hm, shoes! That'll do..." then goes back playing quetily.
(1:28:30 PM) Kalga: ("Well, my work is done for today. Time to go snort some Exalted-Coke and die of overdose."
(1:28:31 PM) Kalga: )
(1:30:38 PM) Vai: "So have you guys heard about the new game with Desus? Supposedly it realistically emulates half of his charms."
(1:31:30 PM) Emerald: (Uh... Where /are/ we?)
(1:31:31 PM) ***Kyrk leans into the beanbag, "Better than the last one where he got a stick and throwing rocks."
(1:32:15 PM) Kalga: (Probably at Reana and Vai's Manseplace.)
(1:32:21 PM) Vai: (assume hanging around my manse, also #firstagefuckyouooc since kalga won't put it in the topic)
(1:32:38 PM) Kalga: (I tried. D:)
(1:32:58 PM) Kyrk: (Want to give me ops so I can do it?)
(1:33:31 PM) mode (+o Kyrk) by Kal-ST
(1:33:52 PM) Kyrk has changed the topic to: http://1d4chan.org/wiki/Campaign:First_Age_Fuck_You |  OOC: #firstagefuckyouooc
(1:33:52 PM) mode (-t ) by Kyrk
(1:33:52 PM) mode (+t ) by UboaServ
(1:34:12 PM) Kalga: Hey. Where's the rest of it. >:<
(1:34:17 PM) Kyrk: (Proceed)
(1:34:25 PM) mode (-o Kyrk) by Kal-ST
(1:34:50 PM) Kalga: ANYWAY: BACK AT EXALTED: KIRK AND VAI WERE TALKING ABOUT VIDYAGAEMS
(1:35:05 PM) ***Emerald is off in the courtyard giving Bessie her weekly trim with a set of bonsai trimmers large enough to sever a head and no ladder. REAL MEN CLIMB THEIR GARDEN
(1:36:20 PM) Vai: "It wasn't rocks it was energy blasts... or something. It was pretty goofy, and I don't think the developers knew what they were doing." Vai hasn't missed a beat in-game, and made it to level 5 without using any powerups.
(1:37:26 PM) ***Kyrk plays quiet accompaniment to his own voice, following tone and rhythm, "Well, I suppose the more realistic they make it the better." he hums in a singsong, "Whats next, Grand Theft Yeddim?"
(1:38:04 PM) Vai: "You know it."
(1:38:38 PM) Kalga: (Didn't they already make GTY 3 and GTY: Nexus?)
(1:38:51 PM) Vai: (there's no nexus in the first age)
(1:39:01 PM) Kyrk: "I wonder if they'll make games about me... Hm, 'make a game about me' could be a song." He strums a few chords, "Make a game about me, instead of GTY3~"
(1:39:02 PM) Emerald: (GTY: Deandsor)
(1:40:17 PM) ***Emerald strokes his beard off elsewhere, currently clinging to his beast's underbelly "Hmm... Maybe we could try a cubist shape this month."
(1:42:03 PM) Kalga: Suddenly! A knock on the door. No one hears it, but a maid. She goes running over to where you guys are.
(1:42:15 PM) Vai: "?"
(1:42:59 PM) Kalga: She seems a bit out of breath. She's lying on the floor, hyperventalating. Would it kill Vai to teach them how to work the PA system?
(1:43:00 PM) Kyrk: "Want me to get that?" Kirk yawns, shifty up out of his beanbag chair... With a lot of effort.
(1:43:31 PM) ***Vai pauses the game and helps the poor girl sit up.
(1:43:59 PM) Kalga: She does so. Still not done restoring oxygen yet. Loading 54%
(1:44:37 PM) ***Kyrk stretches, "Another out of breath made, another day." He scratches his shoulder and shuffles over to the door and pulls it open, Sanxian hanging from his neck.
(1:45:03 PM) Kalga: (Strength Athletics to pull the giant doors open. :V)
(1:45:25 PM) Valgaav left the room (quit: Connection reset by peer).
(1:48:49 PM) Kalga: Kyrk gets the door open. There are a small squad of troops, and a Warstrider of Red Jade. The guy with the captain's emblem on his chest open up a sheet of paper. "Are you the head of the house?" He looks down at it, and then back up to Kyrk.
(1:49:13 PM) Reana_AFK is now known as Reana
(1:49:52 PM) ***Kyrk shakes his abnormally attractive head, "That'd be the dude in the bathroom." He flicks his thumb over his shoulder towards Vai.
(1:50:29 PM) ***Vai helps the exhausted maid into one of the beanbag chairs and goes to see who's at the door.
(1:50:36 PM) Kalga: (>Abnormally attractive >Kirk Hammett >hah hah sure)
(1:51:41 PM) Vai: "I am Eighth Master Vai and the owner of this state, you had better give a good excuse for stomping up my lawn with that warstrider."
(1:51:46 PM) Vai: *estate
(1:52:59 PM) ***Vai is wearing a powder blue bathrobe and boxers with little hearts on them.
(1:53:06 PM) Kalga: He looks back to the Warstrider, and then back to Vai. The Warstrider, Vai. "I don't control where it goes, bring it up with the pilot." He hands him another letter. "We got some more Warstriders, and there's going to be a commemerative parade."
(1:53:38 PM) Vai: "Oh?"
(1:53:48 PM) Kalga: "Aye."
(1:54:07 PM) Vai: "Well I do love parades..." Vai opens the letter.
(1:54:18 PM) Kyrk: "Commemeratin' what?"
(1:54:21 PM) Kalga: "They're nice, aren't they?"
(1:54:22 PM) ***Emerald looks up from working on his latest and greatest creation of giving Bessie a mohawk and hops off the head, moving towards Vai "Eh? What's goin' on?"
(1:54:43 PM) Vai: "We're having a parade, I guess."
(1:55:01 PM) Kalga: (Mohawk why :|_
(1:55:02 PM) Kalga: )
(1:55:14 PM) Emerald: (Because bull with mohawk.)
(1:55:15 PM) Kyrk: (Yo, bro, we have an ooc room for this.)
(1:55:58 PM) Emerald: (You're lucky I didn't give my sentient giant topiary bull another topiary bull for hair)
(1:56:31 PM) Kyrk: "Parades are good fun." Kyrk nods, his curls bouncing with his head.
(1:56:45 PM) Reana: Meanwhile, Reana and Tina, her air-aspected sorceress, are hiding behind a sofa, pointing a Recorder of Everlasting Glory at the scene. "We can now see the Night Caste in a rather unusuall environment, confronting an intruder on his territory. Let's see how he reacts." she says, in her best documentary voice.
(1:56:49 PM) Emerald: "Dinn' we just have one Marsday?"
(1:57:03 PM) Kalga: "Yeah, but that wasn't for new Warstriders."
(1:58:04 PM) Vai: "So we fired up some factory-cathedrals and get a parade for it? Yeah alright."
(1:58:19 PM) Reana: "It seems like the Night Caste is gathering his pack, perhaps in an attempt to drive off the intruders from his hunting grounds. Behold the grace and nobility of his movements."
(1:58:21 PM) ***Emerald shrugs "Better reason than Marsday's."
(1:58:24 PM) Kalga: He looks over to the couch. "Um...You've...got...a thing over the-..."
(1:58:30 PM) Blinkdog [Blinkdog@sux-8D27FE61.cpe.metrocast.net] entered the room.
(1:58:35 PM) Kyrk: "Oh, sounds good then. Maybe I should write somethin' for it. How does 'hyper mega power armour' a good title?"
(1:58:36 PM) Kalga: (Monday's was because it's monday parade day.)
(1:58:47 PM) Kalga: "Hrm?"
(1:58:47 PM) ***Vai looks, "...Yeah, I know."
(1:58:49 PM) Kyrk: (Change how does to is.)
(1:59:08 PM) Reana: "Ah! they have spotted us! Fear not, everyone, for this troupe is perfectly safe from the menaces of the wild."
(1:59:23 PM) Vai: "So is this just going to be one of those public appearance things?"
(1:59:49 PM) Kalga: "As far as I know, yes. But with about 8 more giant robotic suits of armor then normal."
(2:00:10 PM) Kyrk: "Sounds good to me."
(2:00:18 PM) ***Emerald looks off in no particular direction "The hells was that one fer, anyway?"
(2:00:26 PM) Vai: "Sounds good. Do I need to bring anything? Maybe some potato salad?"
(2:00:30 PM) Emerald: "Somebody made a real good pizza or somethin'."
(2:00:39 PM) Emerald: "It flew, I think."
(2:00:40 PM) Kalga: "You can always use more potato salad."
(2:01:09 PM) ***Vai scans the letter for date and time.
(2:01:36 PM) Reana: "We shall now attempt to move our camera in order to have a better view of this rather unique and extremely educational scene." She says, shifting from behind the couch to hiding under the table, followed by a not-terribly-sure-of-what-she's-doing air aspect keeping the Recorder pointed towards the centre of the room.
(2:01:39 PM) Kalga: (Today is a Thursday. The Parade is on Sunday. Except in Exalted days.)
(2:02:10 PM) Vai: "Super. Well uhh, see you Sunsday?"
(2:02:15 PM) Kalga: The captain looks at Reana hiding under the table. He leans closer to Vai. "What is she doing?"
(2:02:49 PM) Vai: "Honestly I don't know."
(2:02:50 PM) ***Emerald snaps back to reality and looks over his shoulder, then looks at the captain and swirls his finger about his ear
(2:03:09 PM) Kyrk: "I shall have a song for you by then, my good messenger!" Kyrk announces before strolling back inside, he sits on the couch and puts his feet up on the table above Reana.
(2:03:11 PM) Reana: "Seems loke they have reached some sort of agreement." Reana voice-overs. "But it might still be too dangerous for our troupe to draw closer. Tina, zoom in, please."
(2:03:44 PM) Kalga: "...Oh. Oh...kay then. Sunsday, yeah." He walks back to the rest of the company, looking over his shoulder every so. Man Celestrials are weird.
(2:04:36 PM) ***Emerald slaps Vai on the back "RIGHT! With that out of the way!"
(2:04:51 PM) Emerald: "I've got some VERY important business to discuss with you!"
(2:04:53 PM) Reana: "The intruder left. Now we can resume our observation of the Night Caste specimen we've been following for you for the past three days."
(2:04:59 PM) Vai: "?"
(2:05:34 PM) ***Emerald slings his HUEG arm around Vai and picks him up, then runs full speed back towards Bessie
(2:05:43 PM) Vai: "AAAAAA!"
(2:05:58 PM) Kalga: (Aaaaaah! My games! Reana will touch them and they'll explode!)
(2:06:10 PM) Reana: "Unfortunately this particular specimen doesn't seem to be too active. Night Castes have been reported to reach speeds in excess of 80 kilometers per hour when hunting in the savan- WAIT! Something's happening!"
(2:06:17 PM) ***Emerald sets Vai down hard enough to shake the ground "Right, you see that there?" he says, making a portrait with his fingers around his monster's head
(2:06:22 PM) Emerald: "She needs... Something."
(2:06:26 PM) Emerald: "I'm thinkin' mohawk."
(2:06:31 PM) Emerald: "How 'bout you?"
(2:06:32 PM) Vai: "...Yeah?"
(2:06:43 PM) Vai: "Uhh.... Sure, that sounds great."
(2:06:57 PM) ***Kyrk scuttles over to Vai's Gamebox Playthousand and picks up the controller.
(2:07:26 PM) Emerald: "Whazzat? Pompadour? Hmm..."
(2:07:34 PM) ***Vai slips away and dives behind a shrubbery before Reana and Tina catch up.
(2:07:48 PM) Emerald: "Yeah, yeah that makes sense...
(2:07:56 PM) Reana: "It seems like he's being challenged for leadership by the Twilight Caste we spotted earlier... This could be interesting, my dear spectators. We just- ack. Where did he go?"
(2:08:48 PM) Reana: Tina panics for a moment, zooming and pointing the Recorder all over the garden of the manse trying to spot her quarry
(2:09:26 PM) ***Vai practically materializes behind the two, "Did you lose him?"
(2:09:29 PM) Emerald: "Dreadlocks?"
(2:10:00 PM) Emerald: "A swan sculpture..."
(2:10:04 PM) Emerald: "Antennae?"
(2:11:02 PM) ***Vai is just standing there going :D
(2:11:08 PM) Reana: "..."
(2:11:19 PM) Reana: Reana and Tina turn around slowly... D:
(2:11:44 PM) Vai: ":D"
(2:11:59 PM) Reana: Then Reana grabs the Recorder off her hands and turns it off. "...damnit, Vai, you ruined a lot of perfectly good footage for my documentary film."
(2:12:15 PM) Vai: "Hahahaha, is that what that was?"
(2:13:15 PM) Reana: She stands back up, sighing. "Well, you see, i've watched this really awesome documentary on sand lions last week on I AM."
(2:13:48 PM) Reana: "So i figured, why not do one myself? It seems fun. But most animals were already taken, and then i noticed there aren't documentaries on Exalted."
(2:14:36 PM) Vai: "Hmmm..."
(2:14:46 PM) Kalga: A blue haired woman in a suit walks out after them. Her face is noticibly :|. "Lady Reana, I need you to sign off on these forms. Can you please stop running around with Tina for one minute?" She has a folder of papers in her hand.
(2:15:43 PM) Reana: Reana gives Tina the Recorder back and rolls her eyes. "...I really need to, right?"
(2:15:52 PM) ***Emerald snaps his fingers, exclaiming in a loud bellow "ANOTHER BULL!"
(2:15:59 PM) ***Vai groans.
(2:16:03 PM) ***Reana jumps
(2:16:09 PM) Reana: "Wh-wha-what was that?!"
(2:16:29 PM) Vai: "Emerald. He's doing something to Bessie's hair."
(2:16:41 PM) Reana: "..."
(2:16:48 PM) Kalga: She holds the paper out in one hand and a pen in her other. "Yes. You really nee- What." She looks at Emerald, dropping the papers to her side.
(2:16:48 PM) Vai: "Yeah."
(2:17:11 PM) Reana: "...anywat, Nariana, can't you just sign them yourself? You're the administrator of Bright Haven anyway."
(2:17:16 PM) Reana: *anyway
(2:17:34 PM) Reana: "...Oh, and you know, it wouldn't kill you to call me mom every once in a while."
(2:18:05 PM) Kalga: "This particular form needs a Celestrial okay." She looks at Vai. "...Actually." She holds the forms out to him.
(2:18:30 PM) ***Vai takes a look.
(2:18:31 PM) Reana: "Oh, right, he's the master of the estate!" Reana gloats.
(2:18:57 PM) Kalga: It's just some routine stuff no one, least of all Reana, cares about.
(2:20:14 PM) ***Vai signs his name at the bottom, "There you go."
(2:22:15 PM) Kalga: She flips to page two, and points to several other lines.
(2:22:29 PM) Reana: Reana, meanwhile, runs away.
(2:22:48 PM) Reana: Literally. She sprints in the distance.
(2:22:58 PM) Kalga: Nariana watches Reana run. She sighs.
(2:23:23 PM) ***Vai nods in a "I know what you mean" way.
(2:23:35 PM) ***Emerald is off in the background climbing up Bessie's leg and getting himself situated to give Bessie a giant pompadour
(2:24:48 PM) Reana: Reana's head reappears behind a corner. "What's this thing i heard about a warstrider parade?"
(2:25:11 PM) Kalga: Nariana adjusts her glasses. "Warstrider parade?"
(2:25:30 PM) Vai: "We have to make a public appearance because they built some more warstriders."
(2:25:39 PM) ***Vai hands the letter to Nariana.
(2:25:47 PM) Reana: "In the capital, or here?"
(2:26:07 PM) Kalga: She hands him the papers to sign, and looks at the letter. "Here. This is a local thing."
(2:26:46 PM) Reana: "Ah." Her eyes shine for a moment. "...Nariana, Tina! This means you'll have to participate, too!"
(2:26:58 PM) Kalga: "W-What?"
(2:27:10 PM) Reana: "And your brothers as well, of course!"
(2:27:41 PM) ***Vai looks over more papers, "Oh great, Kan and Zariel."
(2:27:43 PM) Kalga: "D...Do I? I've got lots of important work to do."
(2:27:56 PM) Reana: "Well, you're among the most experienced warstrider pilots in the estate! You can't miss this!"
(2:29:08 PM) Kalga: "..." A sigh. She takes the papers from Vai, and checks them over. She sighs again. "That's everything."
(2:29:33 PM) Reana: "And Vai!" *POINT!* "You have a warstrider, don't you?!"
(2:29:53 PM) Vai: "Of course."
(2:30:10 PM) Reana: "Are YOU going to participate in the parade?!"
(2:30:15 PM) Kalga: Nariana looks at the Warstrider in the distance. It's big and orichalcumish.
(2:30:53 PM) ***Vai thinks about it for a second.
(2:31:00 PM) Vai: "Yeah."
(2:31:05 PM) Kalga: "If he does, do I have to?"
(2:31:20 PM) Reana: "AWESOME! And, no, you'd have to even if he didn't."
(2:31:27 PM) Vai: "You're not getting out of it that easily."
(2:31:54 PM) Reana: "Man, Warstriders are awesome. I wish i had a warstrider. Hey, Vai, can i ride together with you on yours?"
(2:32:10 PM) Vai: "Sure!"
(2:32:13 PM) Kalga: She adjusts her papers, and heads toward the manse. "If my warstrider breaks by then, it's not my fault."
(2:32:55 PM) ***Vai waits until Nariana is out of earshot, "Zariel could just fix it, couldn't he."
(2:33:14 PM) Reana: "Of course. He could also see if she sabotaged it."
(2:33:15 PM) Valgaav [Adela@sux-85EB8D2D.hsd1.nj.comcast.net] entered the room.
(2:33:24 PM) Valgaav left the room.
(2:33:53 PM) Vai: "...Oh my crap I have things to do."
(2:33:57 PM) Reana: "But, anyway." Rena powerhugs Vai. "THANKYOUUU I didn't know your warstrider was a two-seater! You never told me!"
(2:35:07 PM) Vai: "It uh, isn't. But you could still ride on the shoulder."
(2:36:14 PM) Reana: "..."
(2:36:27 PM) Vai: "It'll be fun, I promise!"
(2:36:38 PM) Reana: *sepressed* "Will it really?"
(2:37:27 PM) Vai: "I once rode on a warstrider's shoulder after it's dart launcher got shot off, you get a great view from up there."
(2:37:47 PM) Kalga: (Better then inside the cockpit.)
(2:38:02 PM) Reana: "Ah. But you know, i was thinking."
(2:38:26 PM) Reana: "Could a two-seater 'strider work?"
(2:39:03 PM) ***Vai thinks about it, "I don't see why not."
(2:40:02 PM) Reana: Reana says nothing, but you can read it clearly in her eyes: i want one.
(2:40:35 PM) Vai: "...I'll see what I can do."
(2:40:56 PM) Kalga: (You mean you'll see what Bishiearth can do.)
(2:42:00 PM) Reana: (he probably can't build a 'strider on his own. maybe modify one. but, well, he's not a solar, he usually just does mainteniance)
(2:43:24 PM) ***Kyrk strolls out, soloing something awesome, "Song is going well. What're you all up to?"
(2:43:36 PM) ***Vai wiggles, "I have to order some stuff off I AM, I told them I'd make potato salad for the parade."
(2:43:41 PM) Reana: Reana hugging the shit out of Vai, apparently.
(2:43:52 PM) Reana: "Oh. For everyone?"
(2:43:58 PM) Vai: "Yeah."
(2:44:10 PM) Kalga: (Reana want help! :D)
(2:45:06 PM) Kyrk: "Sounds like a lot of potato salad to make if you ask me."
(2:45:21 PM) Reana: "A terrible lot." She nods. "Need a hand?"
(2:46:01 PM) Vai: "UHHH." *images of past horrors go through Vai's mine* "...Sure."
(2:46:18 PM) Kalga: (NO VAI WRONG WORD YOU MEAN NO)
(2:46:21 PM) Vai: *mind
(2:48:07 PM) Reana: "Yay!" Reana releases him from the crush-hug and spins, gaining a white apron in a short transformation sequence. "I'm helpful!"
(2:48:41 PM) ***Vai sighs. Gods, she's cute.
(2:48:46 PM) Reana: (i love the Infinite Resplendence Amulet)
(2:49:07 PM) Reana: (oh, by the way, usually its powers are deactivated unless specified)
(2:49:18 PM) Reana: (because walking around with app 9 has some drawbacks)
(2:49:32 PM) Kalga: Meanwhile, Nariana- Nariana sighs. Her mother is doing something stupid. She doesn't know what, but something.
(2:50:04 PM) ***Vai starts walking back inside the manse, "I FORGOT THE MAID!"
(2:50:10 PM) ***Vai RUNS!
(2:50:41 PM) Kalga: Nariana watches Vai run by. "Where are you going?"
(2:51:23 PM) Reana: "...what?"
(2:51:49 PM) ***Vai skids and kinda windmills his arms on every turn.
(2:52:24 PM) Kalga: "..." A sigh.
(2:53:38 PM) Reana: Reana turns to Nariana. "Well, do and tell your brothers and sisters to get ready for the parade!"
(2:53:41 PM) Reana: *go
(2:54:00 PM) Kalga: "If I do, do I still have to go? :<"
(2:55:24 PM) Reana: Reana pauses a moment. "...you don't want to go to the parade?"
(2:55:44 PM) Kalga: She shakes her head. "Not in a warstrider, or anything like that..."
(2:57:01 PM) Reana: Reana disbeliefs. "...why not?"
(2:57:51 PM) Kalga: "I told you. I have lots of business to do and I'm way behind on work and I really need to start this one project because you don't care about doing it yourself."
(2:58:43 PM) Reana: "...." *blink blink* "...wait. What project."
(2:59:06 PM) Kalga: "..." She takes Reana's hand. "Come. Let me show you."
(2:59:21 PM) Kalga: Meanwhile, the Maid is sitting on the couch, playing Vai's games. And doing better then him.
(2:59:41 PM) Reana: (lol)
(3:00:10 PM) Vai: "I'm glad you're feeling better, you had me worried."
(3:00:45 PM) Kalga: She tosses the controller up in the air and jumps behind the couch. "IWASWORKINGIWASWORKINGIWASWORKING!"
(3:00:59 PM) Vai: "Hahaha, it's alright."
(3:01:23 PM) Kalga: She pokes her head out from behind the couch. "It is?"
(3:02:38 PM) Vai: "I half-expected you to be flatlining, I'm just happy you're okay."
(3:02:58 PM) Kalga: "...Oh. I kind of had to run through the whole manse..."
(3:03:13 PM) Vai: "We have intercoms for that."
(3:03:42 PM) Kalga: "It looked important I didn't really think about it."
(3:06:07 PM) Kalga: Meanwhile, in Nariana's room: Nariana is showing Reana all the projects she has to do. They take up a whole corner of her room.
(3:06:34 PM) Reana: "Ooh." Reana doesn't get it. She lifts a stack of paper. "What's this for?"
(3:07:11 PM) Kalga: She looks at it. "Road building in the south...and...the one under that is a bridge building one."
(3:07:34 PM) ***Vai walks over to the I AM terminal in the corner, "I AM? I need to place an order for 300 pounds of potatos, 200 jars of mayonnaise, 200 jars of pickles, uhhhhhh 150 pounds of cheddar cheese... what else... oh, 350 chicken eggs, and 8 pounds of salt and pepper."
(3:07:46 PM) Reana: "...why are YOU taking care of this stuff?" she wonders.
(3:08:06 PM) ***Emerald wanders inside, stretching "What'd I miss?"
(3:08:23 PM) Kalga: "Because no one else will. You're supposed to be doing this, you and Lord Vai!"
(3:08:52 PM) ***Kyrk is now playing Vai's game, sanxian in his lap.
(3:09:33 PM) Kalga: The Maid is sitting off to the side to allow the Fire Aspect to play.
(3:10:04 PM) Reana: "I'm..." ouch. She looks at her feet, depressed. "I'm not good at this kind of stuff. I can barely remember the number of my  bank account."
(3:10:28 PM) Kalga: "534-4325-312"
(3:10:50 PM) Reana: "...i remembered it up to the fourth number."
(3:11:00 PM) Kalga: Nariana sighs.
(3:11:53 PM) Reana: Reana sighs proudly. Yes, for some reason she's proud. "Nariana, this place would crumble if it weren't for you. But, from time to time, you have to take a bit of vacation."
(3:11:59 PM) Reana: "Or you'll burn out."
(3:12:05 PM) Kalga: "I don't have time."
(3:12:18 PM) Reana: "I'll help you."
(3:12:31 PM) Kalga: The Maid sits up and bows to Kyrk and Vai. "I-I'll be going now."
(3:12:41 PM) ***Vai waves.
(3:12:42 PM) Reana: (Bureaucracy 1 coming through)
(3:13:02 PM) Kalga: She sighs and waves her hand dismissively. "No no. Go off and play in the parade."
(3:13:43 PM) ***Kyrk holds the controller out to the maid, "Sure you don't want to play?"
(3:13:44 PM) Reana: She doesn't budge. "No, really. Everyone deserves to have fun. You work all the time. I want to help you so you'll have more free time for yourself, to engoy the parade."
(3:13:46 PM) Reana: *enjoy
(3:14:26 PM) ***Emerald looks around then takes a seat, supposing he hasn't missed anything
(3:14:29 PM) Kalga: "I enjoy doing this. Just...leave me alone and I'll take care of it all."
(3:15:08 PM) Reana: Reana sighs, dragging her feet to the door. "...you sure you don't need help?"
(3:15:28 PM) Kalga: "I'm sure, Lady Reana. You just go play with Emerald Thumb and Kyrk."
(3:16:36 PM) Reana: Even more depressed, Reana drags her way back to the living room, where she silently crumples on the couch.
(3:16:54 PM) ***Kyrk turns to Reana, "S'matter?"
(3:17:38 PM) Reana: "Nariana doesn't wont my help with all the paperwork she has to do, and won't be coming to the parade."
(3:17:41 PM) Reana: *want
(3:17:54 PM) Reana: "...I'm worried for the girl. She barely has any free time."
(3:18:41 PM) ***Kyrk nods, "Sometimes people live for their work, they live in it. It's jus' what some people do."
(3:19:38 PM) Reana: "But she needs..." Reana thinks about it for a moment. "...I don't know, she just seems... lonely. We should do something."
(3:20:41 PM) ***Kyrk picks up his sanxian and plays to sooth the sad lady, "Find a common interest, go with that. Do you know what she likes?"
(3:21:28 PM) Kalga: Reana feels slightly better about the situation.
(3:22:16 PM) Reana: Reana thinks about it. "...Her work." she adds, even more depressed.
(3:23:36 PM) ***Kyrk frowns a little, the melody drops into a sadder tone but fitting, joyful in it's way. "If you can't help with her work, I suppose spend some time with her. Fin' out what she likes."
(3:23:55 PM) Reana: "...we should organize a surprise party for her." Reana leaps up from the couch.
(3:23:59 PM) Kalga: (MOTHER DAUGHTER ROAD-TRIP)
(3:24:38 PM) Kyrk: Holy joyous chord progression Batman, Kyrk stands on the couch with her, "Yes!"
(3:25:02 PM) Reana: "Can we do it for the day before the parade?"
(3:26:03 PM) Kyrk: "If all preperations can be met. My songs nearly done, what about the food Vai's making?"
(3:26:48 PM) Reana: "Make some more for the party, get balloons and stuff. Mhh." She ponders. "Should we do something special?"
(3:27:34 PM) Kyrk: "Something special we shall!.... Do."
(3:28:39 PM) ***Vai is still sitting at the I AM terminal, "I AM, I'm placing another order for party balloons, streamers, and the ingredients for a chocolate cake."
(3:28:51 PM) Reana: Think think think. *snap* "how long do we have before the parade?!"
(3:29:51 PM) Kyrk: "It's on Sunsday, so all of today, then three more days. Unless I lost more than a day in that last big sanxian solo..." He ponders, tracing a few finger movements.
(3:30:21 PM) Vai: "Two days?" Vai has his foot hooked on the underside of the terminal and leans waaaay farther back than is safe.
(3:31:01 PM) Kalga: (Pretty sure it's three?)
(3:31:09 PM) Vai: "I'm a little out of practice but I think we can fix this place up for a party by then."
(3:31:18 PM) Kyrk: (Todays Thursday, and it's on Sunday, I think.)
(3:31:20 PM) Vai: (itg no one can count)
(3:31:24 PM) Reana: "Mhh, three days." ponder ponder. She sinks deeper in the ultrasofyandcomfy red couch. "half to go and half to come back, and we can do it. Well well."
(3:31:49 PM) Reana: She jumps up. "Not here! We're going on VACATION."
(3:32:12 PM) Kyrk: "Vacation! Boo yah!"
(3:32:13 PM) Vai: "Alright, but I'm still going to have cake."
(3:32:19 PM) Kalga: (Kyrk's right.)
(3:32:31 PM) Reana: "We'll pack everything up!"
(3:32:47 PM) Kalga: (Don't forget the Nariana.)
(3:32:54 PM) Reana: "Oh, and we have to drag Nariana along without her knowing anything. How to do that."
(3:33:22 PM) Kyrk: "There are important papers to be signed in a far off land?"
(3:33:38 PM) Vai: "We could tie her up and put a bag over her head..."
(3:33:58 PM) Kalga: (Everyone looks at Vai. "...What...? I was joking." "..." "IT WAS A JOKE"
(3:34:02 PM) Kalga: )
(3:34:08 PM) Reana: "nonono, she must know NOTHING. SURPRISE, remember." She stops and turns to Vai. "...mhh, good idea, but she'd probably panic and anima flare."
(3:34:11 PM) Kyrk: "You know, after the 4th time a fan kidnapped me, I came to realise that that is not that fun, Vai."
(3:34:14 PM) Vai: "What? It worked with Kan, he thought it was funny."
(3:34:56 PM) Reana: "Kan is... different."
(3:35:17 PM) Kalga: (Kan is psychotic.)
(3:35:36 PM) Reana: (he's just more impulsive)
(3:36:00 PM) Reana: "...we could lie horribly and tell her that we're going on a mission."
(3:36:12 PM) Reana: "Like, the deliberative asked us to and stuff."
(3:37:30 PM) ***Kyrk nods, "That could work."
(3:37:59 PM) Vai: "Like, we have some important paperwork to fill out and we need her assistance on the matter?"
(3:38:44 PM) Reana: Reana clearly doesn't feel comfortable with the idea of horribly lying to her.
(3:40:31 PM) Reana: "...so. I was thinking of going to Little Jewel for like a day."
(3:42:41 PM) Reana: "or is it too far? But i want to keep her far from work for at least a day..."
(3:42:56 PM) Kyrk: "Thats a good idea, we could tell her that she is needed up at Little Jewel. Thats not much a lie, one is needed at their own party."
(3:43:21 PM) Reana: "If she asks what for? Because she WILL ask."
(3:44:23 PM) Kyrk: "'We need you to attend a proceeding concerning the entire group'?"
(3:45:45 PM) Reana: Reana repeats that to herself under her breath. Yes. It works. "Okay! TINA!" the sorceress peeks from behind the couch. "Go and heat up the skyship!"
(3:46:02 PM) Kalga: (That couch is magic.)
(3:46:26 PM) Reana: (literally, it's a Thousand Comforts Lounge)
(3:46:52 PM) Reana: *point!* "VAI! Organize the party, get baloons and cake and sugar spice and everything nice!"
(3:47:12 PM) ***Kyrk plays the victory sound from Vai's game, 'The Legend of Selda', "Now, I gotta song to write."
(3:47:29 PM) Reana: *point!* "Kyrk! Nope! You go and talk her into this!"
(3:47:39 PM) Reana: "It was YOUR idea!"
(3:48:17 PM) Reana: "Meanwhile, I am going to look for a nice gift for her!"
(3:49:30 PM) ***Kyrk opens his mouth to say something, but memories of badtimes passed siphonned from Vai's mind keep him silent.
(3:49:57 PM) Kalga: (What?)
(3:50:37 PM) Vai: "I AM, how long on that second order for the party supplies?"
(3:51:30 PM) Reana: That said, Reana walks out, humming the song Kyrk was playing.
(3:51:55 PM) Vai: "Talk to me, machine, or I'll replace you with a moeblob."
(3:52:09 PM) Vai: "And don't think I can't."
(3:52:30 PM) Kalga: (!)!
(3:52:54 PM) Kalga: "6 and a half hours. The local party depot is having a sale, it seems."
(3:53:36 PM) Vai: "Acceptable. What's the weather going to be like tom- oh yeah, sunny."
(3:53:55 PM) Vai: "Thos mantis towers took all the excitement out of the weather."
(3:54:09 PM) Kalga: "Forcast is naturally Sunny until Marsday."
(3:56:27 PM) Kyrk: /me strolls off, sanxian at his waist and being played ever so well as he walks, "Off to find Nariana."
(3:56:49 PM) Kalga: (Space bar. :V)
(3:56:54 PM) Kalga: Nariana is still in her room.
(3:57:47 PM) Vai: "...Reana took the swift rider, didn't she. I pray for the landscape."
(3:58:59 PM) ***Kyrk enters Nariana's room, putting chords to his footsteps.
(3:59:34 PM) Kalga: She doesn't look up from her work. She's furiously writing in a folder.
(4:00:47 PM) ***Kyrk plays a note for each word he speaks, a very compelling sounds forms to back his sentence, "Nariana, we gotta go up to Little Jewel day before the parade. You included."
(4:01:31 PM) Kalga: She doesn't look up. "What do we need to go there for?"
(4:02:28 PM) ***Kyrk continues to play to his words, "A meeting concerning the group as a whole."
(4:02:51 PM) Kalga: She sighs. "What part am I needed for?"
(4:03:41 PM) Kyrk: "Paper signing, 'put your x' on this work. Apparently it's important, an y'know no one else around her can wade through paper work."
(4:04:30 PM) Kalga: She sighs. Nariana closes the folder, and looks up. She adjusts her glasses as she looks up. "Okay. When are we to leave?"
(4:05:32 PM) Kyrk: "Day before the parade, we're airshippin' over an' then comin' back. Think of it as a day trip."
(4:08:06 PM) Kyrk: "Though we might be leavin' earlier, so keep your ears open. I'm sure Reana'll tell you."
(4:09:25 PM) Kalga: She nodded. "Okay then. I will. Can you ask her if I still have to go to the parade? If she says I do, don't bother coming back here to tell me."
(4:10:00 PM) ***Kyrk salutes with course fingernails before turning out of her room and strollin' along.
(4:10:20 PM) Kalga: Kyrk can feel a :| burning a hole into his bck.
(4:10:25 PM) Kalga: his back, even
(4:12:09 PM) ***Kyrk continues to busk along, a hop in his step indifferent to the cold beurocracy and Narianas :|ing.
(4:14:04 PM) Reana: After a while, Reana calls via I AM as the terminal beeps
(4:14:15 PM) Kalga: "BEEPBEEPBEEP VAI PICK UP"
(4:14:19 PM) Vai: "ACK!" Vai finally falls backwards.
(4:14:40 PM) ***Vai picks himself up, "Yes?"
(4:15:15 PM) Kalga: "It's Reana. Accept?"
(4:15:22 PM) ***Kyrk strolls on by, playing, "Reana, does Mariana still need to go to the parade?"
(4:15:32 PM) Kyrk: (Oh... Ignore that. >_>)
(4:15:36 PM) Vai: "Yes."
(4:16:01 PM) Kalga: "Bing." Reana's on the I AM What does she have to say?
(4:16:19 PM) Reana: "Yo, Vai! I'm here in the commercial district in Bright Haven. I was looking for some gifts for Nariana."
(4:16:29 PM) Vai: "Uh huh?"
(4:16:32 PM) Reana: "Do you want to get her something too?"
(4:17:05 PM) Vai: "How about a case for her glasses? I noticed she doesn't have one."
(4:18:07 PM) Reana: "Oh, ok, i'll look for a nice case! Are Kyrk and Emerald there? What do they think?"
(4:18:13 PM) Kalga: (That would imply they leave her face.)
(4:19:27 PM) ***Kyrk leans over Vais shoulder, "Buy an awesome case an' you can't go wrong. Also, she wants to know if she still has to go to the parade?"
(4:19:47 PM) Reana: "Uh. Well, we can't force her to go if she doesn't want to."
(4:21:13 PM) Kyrk: "I'll go tell her. Remember 'buy awesome'." With that the roaming muscian sets off again, maybe he'll meet that old gardener on the way, and they'll interact in some manner.
(4:22:36 PM) Reana: "Okay, i'll see what i find." *click*
(4:22:41 PM) ***Emerald apparently got carried away with his trimming and ended up building a warstrider out of bushes on Vai's lawn
(4:23:21 PM) ***Vai dusts himself off and makes a sandwich.
(4:24:07 PM) ***Kyrk strolls up along side Emerald, "Pretty plant y'got there."
(4:25:46 PM) ***Emerald taps his chin "If I can just stuff a functioning essence cannon into... Whahuh?"
(4:26:14 PM) ***Vai is sitting on a couch, eating his sandwich. It's not the best sandwich he's made, not by a long shot.
(4:26:49 PM) ***Kyrk smiles like he's been taken by surprise too, "Nice warstrider?"
(4:27:59 PM) ***Emerald looks around, confused "...Where'd everybody go"
(4:28:31 PM) Kalga: The Maid popped out from cleaning under the couch. "They're all planning some sort of party."
(4:28:58 PM) Emerald: "Wha? For who?"
(4:29:32 PM) Kalga: "Miss Nariana."
(4:29:45 PM) ***Vai looks around at the walls, the giant video screen, the floor-to-ceiling windows, and he feels it. The need for fresh air.
(4:29:59 PM) Kyrk: "Nariana, I'm on my way to talk to about the parade. Oh, party is a surprise, don't wreck it. An' pack your things, we're goin' to Little Jewel"
(4:31:28 PM) Emerald: "Eh? Arrite then."
(4:31:38 PM) ***Emerald whistles for Bessie
(4:32:13 PM) ***Vai opens a window and dives out, sandwich clutched in his teeth.
(4:32:43 PM) Kalga: (DexAth to not fall on your ass.)
(4:33:07 PM) Kalga: And Fonzy sticks the landing!
(4:33:16 PM) Kalga: Oh, and Vai doesn't fall on his ass either.
(4:34:07 PM) ***Emerald waves Kyrk in as Bessie stomps her way into the yard and bends down, opening her gaping maw of a doorway leading into an oddly elegant living room
(4:35:10 PM) ***Kyrk steps up with him, "Into the mouth of the beast... Ooo, that'd be a good song title. Hm.."
(4:35:31 PM) Kalga: (I think some random metal band has already wrote it.)
(4:36:15 PM) ***Emerald heads on up to her back through a porthole in the ceiling and takes a seat at her neck "GIDDYUP!"
(4:37:03 PM) Kalga: (So, shall we get a move on to the manse? Or anyone got anything to finish up?)
(4:37:27 PM) Reana: After a while, Reana comes back home, with a large paper bag full of stuff.
(4:37:30 PM) Kyrk: (Need to go tell Nariana that she doesn't have to go to the parade, but lets pretend I did for sake of ease)
(4:37:41 PM) Kalga: (Done and done.)
(4:37:43 PM) Reana: "Hello, I'm back!"
(4:37:52 PM) ***Vai is sitting on the front steps, eating the last of a sandwich.
(4:38:18 PM) Kalga: Tina looks up from her book, sitting next to Vai. "Did you get her something nice?"
(4:39:13 PM) Reana: "Glasses case, new necktie, a pen, and a china set."
(4:39:53 PM) Reana: "I also wanted to get her, um..."
(4:40:33 PM) Vai: "Um?"
(4:40:36 PM) Reana: Reana puts down the bag and lowers her voice. "...I wanted to get her a new swimsuit."
(4:40:50 PM) Reana: "...because, you see." Now she sounds really proud. "She's grown so much."
(4:41:02 PM) Kalga: (/Grown/. :3)
(4:41:32 PM) Reana: (well, they're still growing kids :D)
(4:41:41 PM) Kyrk: (HUGE TRACKS OF... Paperwork..)
(4:42:01 PM) Vai: "Uh huh." Vai looks a little more interested than he probably should be.
(4:42:12 PM) Reana: "But i wasn't sure of what her size is."
(4:42:56 PM) Reana: "So i bought five different sizes." Reana is as considerate as always with her money. Good thing she somehow manages to have a lot. "But i can't give her all five."
(4:43:19 PM) Reana: "...so we need to find out what her size is, but without letting her know."
(4:43:28 PM) Reana: She pokes Vai. "That's where you come in."
(4:43:31 PM) Kalga: (Oh dear.)
(4:43:59 PM) Vai: "Oh, like I was going to say no."
(4:44:07 PM) Kalga: (Like you /can/ say no.)
(4:44:36 PM) ***Emerald waves energetically as Bessie stomps into view in the distance, shaking the ground a little as she approaches, eventually nearly knocking people off their feet at about 5 yards
(4:45:01 PM) Reana: Reana turns around, all conspiratorial, and "SSSSH!"s her.
(4:45:02 PM) ***Kyrk is standing on Bessies tongue, soloing like a mofo.
(4:45:17 PM) Kalga: Nariana bursts from her room. "What was that? All my papers! Shuffled around. It'll take me weeks to fix everything!"
(4:46:00 PM) Reana: Reana jolts and grabs the bag of gifts and stuffs it... UNDER THE COUCH
(4:46:33 PM) Reana: "D-d-don't worry, Nariana, it's not a big deal."
(4:46:33 PM) Kalga: Maid: "Bwahawahagrah!" She pulls the stuff under the couch.
(4:46:41 PM) Kalga: "But my papers."
(4:46:52 PM) Vai: "Oops." Vai is gone, like he wasn't even there. Even the breadcrumbs disappeared from sight. (Night caste anima 10m, 2nd stealth 10m +1m to mute anima)
(4:47:04 PM) Reana: (pfffahahah)
(4:47:39 PM) Kalga: (Pft lemme see that's 5 autosux and hidan anima?)
(4:47:41 PM) ***Vai is sneaking up to Nariana's room and checking sizes... and stuff.
(4:47:42 PM) ***Emerald hops off Bessie's head once she's slumped to the ground hard enough to shake the leaves off trees "Evening, all!"
(4:47:56 PM) Reana: "We'll take care of them together later. Rignt now just rest for a while." She winks.
(4:48:01 PM) Kalga: "You messed up my papers."
(4:48:29 PM) Reana: "...it was an accident, i'm sure."
(4:48:53 PM) Kalga: "He messed up my papers. :<"
(4:49:49 PM) ***Emerald beats his chest mightily, oblivious to the LEETUL GIRUL and letting out a deep, throaty laugh "Grar har har! Nothing like a good afternoon ride! Gets the blood going!"
(4:49:58 PM) Reana: Reanahug. "...It's all right!"
(4:50:30 PM) Kalga: She sighs, and accepts the hug. "Oh...okay."
(4:50:40 PM) ***Kyrk brings his solo to a screaching end before hopping out of Bessie's mouth and striking guitaringposeofawesome upon landing.
(4:51:11 PM) Kalga: Clapping is heard from under the couch.
(4:51:17 PM) Reana: "...what are those two doing."
(4:51:28 PM) ***Vai searches through Nariana's drawers, looking for undergarments.
(4:51:36 PM) Emerald: "Why, making a dramatic entry of course!"
(4:51:38 PM) Kalga: (PerInves.)
(4:51:47 PM) Emerald: "What's goin' on? I heard there was a..."
(4:53:34 PM) Vai: "Oh my..."
(4:54:13 PM) Kalga: Vai finds what he's looking for.
(4:54:14 PM) Reana: "...PARADE!"
(4:56:17 PM) ***Vai gets out of there before anyone notices he's missing. And he takes Nariana's bra and panties with him.
(4:56:22 PM) Emerald: "Eh?"
(4:56:30 PM) Emerald: "Well, yeah, but there was somethin'..."
(4:56:58 PM) Kyrk: "Emerald, the inside of Bettsie is rather dapper. How'd you manage that?"
(4:57:05 PM) Kalga: "There was a parade on Moonday, yes."
(4:57:11 PM) Kalga: (Think that's what it's called.)
(4:57:31 PM) Reana: "Yes."
(4:58:08 PM) Kyrk: ?
(4:58:19 PM) Kyrk: (WRong window. Stupid trillian.)
(5:00:26 PM) Emerald: "Eh?"
(5:00:32 PM) Emerald: "I had a contractor come in."
(5:00:48 PM) Emerald: "You think I'm going to do tiling that good? Pffft."
(5:02:00 PM) ***Kyrk nods, "They did a good job. How much did that cost?"
(5:02:32 PM) Reana: Meanwhile, Reana is trying to prevent Nariana from going back to her room and instead forcing her to rest on the couch.
(5:02:56 PM) Kalga: Nariana isn't going to overpower Reana in a feat of strength.
(5:04:06 PM) Emerald: "Cost?"
(5:04:17 PM) Emerald: "Oh no, I /made/ the contractor, /then/ made him come in."
(5:04:47 PM) Emerald: "Pretty ingenious actually, there's a whole team to it."
(5:05:14 PM) Emerald: "A moss that grows tiles, worms that weave wallpaper..."
(5:05:33 PM) Reana: well, she's not clinching her, more like "just stay here, relax, look how comfy this couch here is..."
(5:05:35 PM) ***Vai commando crawls past everyone and into the kitchen
(5:06:14 PM) Kalga: Nariana stays there. "Yes, yes, yes. I know how comfy this couch is. I sit here often while working on more leisurely projects."
(5:06:38 PM) Reana: "...more leisurely like?"
(5:07:18 PM) Kalga: "Like a delta we're going to open up into a bay."
(5:07:20 PM) Emerald: "Then I set 'em to work over in..."
(5:07:23 PM) Emerald: "In uhh..."
(5:07:39 PM) Emerald: "...Well dagnabbit, I can't actually remember where I set up their office."
(5:07:52 PM) Emerald: "Maybe that's why the bastards haven't paid me!"
(5:07:57 PM) ***Emerald lets out another thick laugh
(5:08:04 PM) ***Kyrk nods, "How interesting."
(5:08:23 PM) Reana: "...a Delta. Nariana, when's the last time you had a vacation?"
(5:09:19 PM) Kalga: "Um...I went on a class trip about six months before my Exaltation."
(5:10:13 PM) Reana: "..."
(5:10:22 PM) Reana: Reana starts counting on her fingers.
(5:10:42 PM) ***Emerald looks around, confused "Waitaminute..."
(5:10:49 PM) Emerald: "...Why'd I come here again?"
(5:10:57 PM) Reana: "...That's right! You've never come once when we left on vacation, or, if you did, you always brought work with you..."
(5:11:10 PM) Reana: "...SIXTY-TWO YEARS?!"
(5:11:48 PM) ***Vai pours himself a glass of water just to make a spit-take in the kitchen.
(5:11:51 PM) Kyrk: "I do believe that you were explaining the intricacies of a leaf to bessie, do proceed."
(5:12:19 PM) Emerald: "Nah, nah, that wannit..."
(5:12:49 PM) ***Emerald looks over at the manse steps finally "Aw hey, it's Reana!"
(5:13:10 PM) ***Emerald grabs Reana and gives her a bear hug "C'mere y'crazy ol'..."
(5:13:44 PM) Kalga: "About that much, yes.
(5:13:44 PM) Kalga: "
(5:14:29 PM) Reana: "Gak! Hello, Emerald. Sorry, we were in the middle of a little mother-daughter talk."
(5:14:43 PM) Reana: "About how Nariana needs to get out more."
(5:15:45 PM) ***Emerald looks at Mariana for a few seconds, you can practically hear the hamster wheel turning in his head as he gives her a strange variation on the stinkeye
(5:15:52 PM) Emerald: "THAT'S WHAT IT WAS!"
(5:16:20 PM) Vai: "Hey Emerald, I need you to help me move something large and heavy in the basement."
(5:16:30 PM) Emerald: "Ehwha?"
(5:16:34 PM) Emerald: "Oh, yeah, sure."
(5:16:39 PM) Reana: Reana sighs in relief. Nice save, Vai.
(5:16:40 PM) ***Emerald drops Reana and wanders inside
(5:16:48 PM) Reana: *thumbs-up!*
(5:16:50 PM) Kalga: "...Um..."
(5:18:02 PM) Reana: Back to Nariana, then. "You should get some more free time from your job. Find someone who can help you, maybe. And go out more, yes."
(5:18:25 PM) ***Vai leads the way down to the basement and lights up a cigarette.
(5:18:30 PM) Kalga: "Help me? With my work? But then it might be done wrong!"
(5:19:49 PM) Reana: "Nariana, you know how i trust you that you'll do everything well? YOu need to find other people you might place the same trust in." *beat* "Of course, i'm not just talking about work."
(5:19:51 PM) Emerald: "Wherezat thing, then?"
(5:20:15 PM) Kalga: "Not just talking about work...?" She's obviouly confused.
(5:20:22 PM) Vai: "Honestly there wasn't anything to move, I just wanted to keep you from blabbing about the party."
(5:20:49 PM) ***Emerald looks confused for a moment
(5:20:51 PM) Vai: "We could shuffle the calibration decorations around so it sounds like we're doing something, though."
(5:20:56 PM) Emerald: "Ooooohhh..."
(5:21:17 PM) Emerald: "Har har, sorry about that, I get kind of spacey sometimes."
(5:22:01 PM) Reana: "Yes, Not Just Talking About Work." She replies, nodding very seriously, looking out of the window in a rather pensive mood.
(5:22:49 PM) Kalga: "Talking about...what then...?"
(5:23:04 PM) Reana: "When are you going to give me grandkids?"
(5:23:48 PM) Kalga: Nariana stands up, and walks over to the kitchen. She poors herself a drink, and then spit-takes. She sets the drink down, and walks back to the couch. "W-What!?"
(5:25:09 PM) Reana: "I'm not a fan of arranged marriages, myself. I want you to find your own path, you know." She gets all misty-eyed, grabbing gently her hands and nodding.
(5:25:57 PM) Reana: "But, you really should find Your Special Someone." She points at the window. "He's - or she's - out there somewhere. Waiting for you."
(5:26:07 PM) Emerald: "So what's new with you two? Everything going well?"
(5:26:20 PM) Kalga: "... I've got no time for that... :|"
(5:27:21 PM) Vai: "Hmm? Oh, yeah, we're just trying to get Nariana to loosen up."
(5:27:39 PM) Reana: "Well then you'll have to find it because love is more important than work. Live is the greatest force in the universe! It beats even the Godspear of the Five Metal Shrike!"
(5:27:51 PM) Kalga: She sighs.
(5:29:47 PM) Reana: Reana stands up. "I want you to stay on that couch and relax. Try to sleep a bit. You look like you could use some rest."
(5:30:39 PM) ***Vai pushes a big box across the floor, picks it up, and drops it with a loud bang. "Alright, let's get some lemonade!"
(5:30:46 PM) Kalga: She sighs, and takes her glasses off. "I /have/ gone two days without sleep..." She set them on the table, and put up her feet.
(5:30:53 PM) Emerald: "Eh? Lemonade?"
(5:30:59 PM) Emerald: "Guess I could go for that right about now..."
(5:31:06 PM) Reana: Once she makes sure Nariana isn't going to move, Reana scuttles to Vai, whispering: "The size?"
(5:31:32 PM) Kalga: She stretches her arms and legs, and turns on her side, her back facing outwards.
(5:31:45 PM) ***Vai passes off The Objective to Reana as he gets a pitcher of lemonade.
(5:32:10 PM) ***Kyrk plays the bestest lullaby for poor Nariana.
(5:33:13 PM) Reana: Reana examines it quickly, smiles proudly, and, just to double-check, and because her cuteness increases by 30% while she's asleep, she scuttles back to Nariana.
(5:35:17 PM) Reana: (she's sound asleep?)
(5:35:26 PM) Kalga: (She's getting there.)
(5:35:54 PM) Reana: Reana SSHHHHHs and waits for her to fall asleep.
(5:36:08 PM) ***Kyrk stops his playing with a :( face
(5:36:26 PM) ***Emerald practically downs the whole pitcher once it gets to him, chugging it
(5:36:27 PM) Reana: then, she slaps her hands silently and whispers: "Ok, people, let's start! Execute plan A!"
(5:36:46 PM) ***Emerald wipes his mouth "Eh? Plan A?"
(5:37:13 PM) ***Vai whispers, "You mean there's a Plan B?"
(5:37:36 PM) Reana: She kneels down and lifts the couch delicately, with Nariana and everything. "You silly, of course there isn't. Which means we can't fail now."
(5:38:03 PM) Reana: Tina should have warmed the airship and called the others. Pach the stuff and let's go."
(5:38:10 PM) Reana: *pack
(5:38:44 PM) ***Vai grabs what he needs to grab.
(5:39:08 PM) Kalga: Everyone packs and we're not flying on the airship?
(5:39:22 PM) Emerald: "Eh? Airship?"
(5:39:52 PM) Reana: "My skyship, the Moonlight Smile."
(5:40:26 PM) Reana: "Come on, let's move!" She grabe the bag full of gifts and stuff with the other hand and walks down to the garden silently
(5:42:39 PM) Kalga: Nariana turns over as the airship takes off.
(5:43:37 PM) Reana: Reana whispers to Tina, who is at the helm, to accelerate slowly until max speed, and goes to drop off Nariana in one of the small quarters, window closed.
(5:48:28 PM) Kalga: Nariana rolls over in Reana's arms, hugging her and resting her head on Reana's chest. "Mhm."
(5:49:21 PM) Reana: (the airship should be fairly small, with a control cockpit, a lounge/living room, and about ten small individual rooms. the living room probably has some of Vai's games since i think we use this wheneve rwe need to move, unless we have other vehicles)
(5:49:22 PM) Vai: "D'aaaww~"
(5:49:50 PM) Reana: Reana stops in mid-action, about to leave...
(5:50:42 PM) Reana: ...then she sighs ans smiles, shaking softly her head. "Can't have her wake up now can we." She says to herself, making herself comfortable on the couch.
(5:50:50 PM) Emerald: "Wait, where're we goin'?"
(5:51:33 PM) Reana: (i think Reana's in Nariana's room and you people are in the lounge together with the other DBs who haven't been introduced yet)
(5:51:44 PM) Reana: (or on the deck getting a tan)
(5:51:53 PM) Reana: (or at the helm)
(5:52:12 PM) Reana: (if you have sail)
(5:52:17 PM) Reana: (and know where the manse is)
(5:52:48 PM) Kyrk: (Where ever Kyrk is he is sanxianing. :3)
(5:53:42 PM) Kalga: Nariana hugs Reana slightly tighter. Under her breath she mutters something that might be mistaken as the word mom.
(5:53:46 PM) ***Vai gets started on the cake and heads into the galley. There was no way he was going to let himself mess this up, so he added extra chocolate to the mix and frosting. "This isn't so hard..." he mumbled to himself as he pops it into the oven. (stunting int+craft(water) because i don't have an excellency :X)
(5:54:51 PM) Reana: Reana thinks of how long it's been since they've last slept in the same bed. Decades. She hugs her daughter softly and falls asleep together with her.
(5:55:04 PM) Reana: (ok now the airship also has a kitchen it's canon)
(5:59:19 PM) Vai: "Ha ha! I has made a cake!"
(5:59:19 PM) Kalga: Nariana snuggles closer.
(6:00:16 PM) ***Vai goes to check on Nariana and Reana and almost develops diabetes in the doorway.
(6:00:25 PM) Reana: (this is just too cute i'm having an overdose)
(6:00:54 PM) Reana: they're sleeping together on the couch, super snuggled
(6:01:15 PM) ***Vai gently puts a blanket over them and quietly walks out, thinking "I gotta get out of this room."
(6:04:21 PM) ***Kyrk finds himself on the deck, (playing a November Rain like solo with the panning camera and everything), the wood aspect within ear shot.
(6:06:29 PM) Reana: Miria turns her head and listens to the song, half curious even though her face doesn't shows it
(6:08:58 PM) Kyrk: Hair blowing in the wind as they sail, his sanxian echoing for miles around.
(6:09:09 PM) Kalga: (ChaPerform.)
(6:09:41 PM) Reana: (http://danbooru.donmai.us/post/show/196789 miuria looks like a dark-skinned Hong Meiling in a swimsuit, only she wears that swimsuit always and not just at the beach. add belts with guns and ammo and bracers for the "action girl" feel.)
(6:09:48 PM) Reana: *miria
(6:10:15 PM) Kalga: (Delicious.)
(6:10:24 PM) Kyrk: (Page load error for me. ._._
(6:10:37 PM) Kalga: Miria thinks the song is awesome. Really really awesome. Holy hell is that awesome.
(6:11:16 PM) Reana: (copy and paste the link)
(6:11:43 PM) Reana: "...wow, youre good." She leans on to the railings. "Kyrk, was it...?"
(6:11:44 PM) Kyrk: (I did. nothing. :x)
(6:11:53 PM) ***Vai is looking for Kan so he can harass him.
(6:12:25 PM) Kalga: (Just imagine hotness.)
(6:12:25 PM) Emerald: (China :3~)
(6:13:07 PM) ***Kyrk finsihes the solo with a powerslide, stopping next to Miria. "Yup. Miria are you?"
(6:13:15 PM) Reana: Kan is playing Super Warstrider Wars 3
(6:14:06 PM) Reana: "Aye, Sentai Miria." She half-nods, before looking once more outside. The Blessed Isle is slowly disappearing to the east, and all around there's just sea.
(6:14:10 PM) ***Vai just sits and watches him play for a bit so he can read his playstyle.
(6:15:26 PM) ***Kyrk hops to his feet and stares out with her, "I wrote a song about this expanse of water once, 'In the ocean blue' I called it."
(6:16:03 PM) Kalga: (He's laying on the sap so think you can barely see the pancake.)
(6:16:04 PM) Reana: "I think i heard that song. It was a hit some time ago, right?"
(6:16:50 PM) Kyrk: "Yup, I was actually just playin' the solo. D'you like it?"
(6:18:21 PM) Reana: (what kind of music is it?)
(6:18:51 PM) ***Vai pushes Kan, "Scoot over and I'll show you how battles are won."
(6:19:12 PM) Reana: Glance of challenge. "You're on."
(6:19:25 PM) Kyrk: (I think I'm going to go with the November Rain solo, so rock. Think Guns An Roses?)
(6:20:03 PM) Kalga: (GnR~ :3)
(6:20:16 PM) Reana: "It's a good song." She nods. "But I prefer Celestial Rhapsody."
(6:20:40 PM) Kyrk: "Oh, a good good song too."
(6:21:23 PM) Kalga: (Is this my real life? Or mythical fantasy? Caught in a landslide, my escape from reality.)
(6:22:13 PM) ***Kyrk plays the headbang section and headbangs justly!
(6:22:37 PM) ***Vai picks the highly technical green jade warstrider, for its combination of toughness, status effects, and strange close combat style. "I see you've improved, but it matters not."
(6:23:19 PM) ***Emerald leans in behind the couch "Oooh, lookit them explosions
(6:23:55 PM) Reana: Kan is predictable. He ALWAYS picks the red one, insanely fast, crazy combos, good damage but a glass cannon with little defense. (Think Cammy in Street Fighter). But he's quite good at using it.
(6:24:48 PM) Reana: Miria smiles on hearing that song. She hums along, nodding to the rythm, looking at the sea.
(6:24:58 PM) Vai: "Your style is weak, I alone am best!" Vai's words don't match his mouth.
(6:25:30 PM) Reana: Kan drops the pad and stares at Vai. "...how the heck do you do that."
(6:25:57 PM) Vai: "You forgot about the thorn traps, they make you an easy target."
(6:26:40 PM) Reana: "No, i mean, the synch-less dub- ah, forget it." He presses start and goes for another round. Red warstrider, of course.
(6:27:59 PM) Vai: "Then I shall tank your score with an incredible hand." Vai's fingers hit all the buttons in a complicated pattern and the screen lights up yellow with explosions.
(6:28:31 PM) Kalga: Nariana rolled off of Reana, hitting her head on the arm of the couch. She wakes up, rubbing her eye, and noticing Reana. She jumps slightly and looks around, hoping no one would see her. She put her head back on Reana's shoulders, hiding the blush.
(6:28:56 PM) Vai: "I think I heard a bell, because you just got schooled."
(6:29:23 PM) Reana: "...look, just quit the taunting, it's distracting."
(6:29:31 PM) Reana: (did Reana wake up?)
(6:29:45 PM) Kalga: (Nariana did.)
(6:30:16 PM) Reana: (i know. Reana? still sleeping?)
(6:30:29 PM) Kalga: (Do you want her to wake up.)
(6:30:38 PM) Vai: "Pfft, you're just like your red warstrider, fast, powerful, and faltering against a defense that is offense."
(6:31:38 PM) Vai: "I bet you didn't even notice I herded you into a trap... *explosion* No you did not."
(6:31:50 PM) Reana: "OK FINE GEEZ." He picks the white one. Slow. Clumsy. He doesn't know how to do its specials.
(6:32:31 PM) ***Vai pics the red one for a change of pace, "I haven't actually used red very much."
(6:32:41 PM) Reana: (if Nariana freaks out at being somewhere else or makes noise, Reana wakes up immediately. If she's silent, she wakes up after a while due to lack of snuggles.)
(6:32:56 PM) Kalga: (Oh. Dear. Someone get the burn salve.)
(6:33:06 PM) Kalga: (She's silent.)
(6:33:28 PM) Reana: "You know, it's the first time i use the white-" *smash* "holy crap, does the fierce punch do THAT much damage?"
(6:33:42 PM) Reana: (then Reana's out for a while more)
(6:33:46 PM) Vai: "Oh wow."
(6:34:31 PM) ***Vai gets behind Kan's white warstrider and catches him in an air juggle combo that drops him through the level.
(6:35:01 PM) Reana: "fffffffffff"
(6:35:12 PM) Vai: "No wonder you always pick red."
(6:35:20 PM) Reana: "This thing's too damn slow."
(6:35:23 PM) Vai: :awesome:
(6:35:28 PM) Kalga: Nariana keeps subconciously fidgeting.
(6:36:11 PM) Reana: "It's so slow that if it ran a race with the god of slow, it would get THIRD PLACE."
(6:36:33 PM) Vai: "Who would be second, god of three-toed sloths?"
(6:36:59 PM) Reana: "No, it's a race with just the two of them. AND IT WOULD STILL BE THIRD."
(6:37:19 PM) Reana: "BECAUSE THAT'S HOW SLOW IT IS ffff screw this i'm going back to red."
(6:37:32 PM) ***Vai laughs simply because it's the dumbest thing he's heard all day.
(6:37:51 PM) Kalga: (Kan normally says the dumbest thing he's heard all day.)
(6:37:58 PM) Vai: "Oh yeah, want to see a trick?"
(6:38:11 PM) Reana: "How much health will it cost me?"
(6:38:30 PM) ***Vai holds down some buttons and hits reset, the screen comes up with "CELESTIAL WARSTRIDERS UNLOCKED"
(6:38:38 PM) Reana: Meanwhile, Reana keeps sleeping comfortably with Nariana. very comfortably.
(6:38:46 PM) Reana: "Pff, that's an old one."
(6:38:47 PM) Kalga: Nariana continues fidgeting.
(6:39:27 PM) Reana: "But, yeah, i've never used them in vs play now that i think about it."
(6:39:29 PM) Vai: "You've been looking up tips and tricks on I AM, haven't you."
(6:39:35 PM) Kalga: She looks around, and noticing no one in the room, tries to free herself with sleeping next to Reana.
(6:39:41 PM) Reana: "Well, haven't YOU?"
(6:41:08 PM) Vai: "Not for like 15 years."
(6:41:39 PM) Reana: "Fff, so you've been playing since the game came out, eh."
(6:42:47 PM) ***Vai chooses the moonsilver warstrider. NEXT WEEK: Throwdown and cake.
