  1. May 19 20:05:58 <~zoofman> So we'll begin tonight with you guys having traveled back to your ship and making your way back to Bravescar. It was pretty damn late at night (or early in the morning, whichever you prefer) by the time you made it back to Veilbeak and got your boat secured in port, so you guys crashed there for the night.
  2. May 19 20:06:44 »» Domovoi is now known as Genevieve
  3. May 19 20:07:07 <~zoofman> At some point, during the morning, you were all awakened by a series of loud bangs, and the barking of Bombs and Weazings. Not to mention all the other Pokemon on board making a commotion as well, like a terrible, audible domino effect.
  4. May 19 20:08:05 »» Genevieve rolls out of bed and tries to figure out what's going on, since it's probably close given the barking.
  5. May 19 20:08:28 »» Rosetta groggily sits up in her bed and tries to orient herself toward the source of the noise.
  6. May 19 20:08:29 »» Chase groans. "What the hell?"
  7. May 19 20:08:56 »» Chase gets up and stumbles out of his room preparing to wield his guitar like a melee weapon.
  8. May 19 20:10:01 <~zoofman> Newton and Oppenheimer seem to be barking in the direction of your workshop on the ship, Gen.
  9. May 19 20:11:18 »» Rosetta hops off the bed and telekinetically prods at ZODIAC while rubbing her eyes. "Hey, hey, what's with all the racket?"
  10. May 19 20:11:36 <Genevieve> "Oh, of course!" She walks on off to the lab, wearing her Voltorb pajamas.
  11. May 19 20:11:37 <~zoofman> Chase stumbles around and finds Trebble, Clef and Trilloby staring outside the door to the workshop as well.
  12. May 19 20:12:10 <Chase> He scratches his head, looking where they're looking, and seeing no immediate threat, runs back inside his room to throw a t-shirt and some shorts over his boxers.
  13. May 19 20:12:22 <Chase> He then hurries to the workshop!
  14. May 19 20:13:05 <~zoofman> ZODIAC just begins to drift out the door and toward the lab.
  15. May 19 20:13:27 <~zoofman> Inside, you guys find the portable egg incubator bouncing up and down from where it's secured, like something inside is hopping.
  16. May 19 20:13:37 <~zoofman> Sorta looks like a big rice cooker, for reference.
  17. May 19 20:13:48 »» Rosetta floats behind ZODIAC, yawning.
  18. May 19 20:14:48 »» Genevieve makes sure she isn't going to break anything before opening the incubator.
  19. May 19 20:15:56 <~zoofman> You gentlly open the top hatch between jumps, and out floats the egg, just suspended in air.
  20. May 19 20:16:30 <Chase> "Oh snap, is it time?"
  21. May 19 20:17:03 <Genevieve> "Looks that way, yeah."
  22. May 19 20:17:09 <Rosetta> "Couldn't it read our minds from in there and choose a better time for hatching?"
  23. May 19 20:17:23 »» Rosetta yawns again and hugs her pillow that she dragged along.
  24. May 19 20:17:31 <~zoofman> It begins to turn on an axis at a slow, steady pace as bits of it begin to crack. You can see pockets of pink light shine through as the surface begins to severe like dry clay, and full pieces begin to fall away.
  25. May 19 20:18:46 <Genevieve> "Gooood morning."
  26. May 19 20:19:31 <Chase> He maneuvers back a bit to give it some space.
  27. May 19 20:22:07 <~zoofman> Before long, a long, pink tail with a club-shaped tip pops out, and twirls around as the egg begins to break away. Next come two catsfeet as it kicks away at the rear of the shell. The newborn stands itself up straight, and hoists the top half of the shell off with its short front paws. The new born Mew opens its bright blue eyes for the first time, looking at Genevieve.
  28. May 19 20:22:57 <Genevieve> "Hey there, little guy. How you doin?"
  29. May 19 20:23:29 <~zoofman> It's a little small, given it just hatched, but floats around effortlessly as it makes a few twirls around Gen. <Hi, mommy!>
  30. May 19 20:24:08 <Rosetta> "Cute." Rosetta remarks, stifling another yawn.
  31. May 19 20:24:54 <Chase> "That... is ridiculously adorable."
  32. May 19 20:24:59 <~zoofman> It perches on your shoulder and nuzzles your cheek, tail draping down your back as it balances itself.
  33. May 19 20:25:48 »» Genevieve pets the Mew and gives him a little kiss. "This is Rose and Chase. Uncle Jenks isn't here, but I'm sure he'll stop by sometime soon."
  34. May 19 20:26:33 <Chase> He smiles at it. "Hey there..."
  35. May 19 20:26:52 »» Rosetta shifts her pillow to one arm and waves. "Heya."
  36. May 19 20:30:22 <~zoofman> He waves from Gen's shoulder, but seems content sitting there for now. <Uncle Jenks is..? Oooooh, it was him! Yes. Hello Chase, Rosetta!>
  37. May 19 20:31:25 <~zoofman> A lot of your Pokemon are watching from the doorway, with many of them slackjawed. Seeing a Mew in the flesh is a pretty humbling experience for even a Pokemon.
  38. May 19 20:31:48 »» Genevieve yawns a little. "Right now though, it's the middle of the night, so the three of us should get to bed. Think you can go down for a nap?"
  39. May 19 20:32:31 <Rosetta> "We really should celebrate this when we're up though, yeah? Or maybe break out some booze now?" Rosetta tilts her head. "A nightcap sounds pretty shiny after getting woken up like this."
  40. May 19 20:32:52 <Chase> (Zoof said this was in the morning)
  41. May 19 20:33:00 <Chase> (You derps)
  42. May 19 20:33:07 <~zoofman> Well, Gen is right in that its EARLY morning
  43. May 19 20:33:18 <Rosetta> Yeah, I figured this was like...4 or 5 AM.
  44. May 19 20:33:46 <Chase> Chase is filled with some pretty strong feels too. He'd reach out to pet it but honestly probably only its mommy has those priveleges. "Might as well just stay up at this point." he yawns.
  45. May 19 20:34:23 <Genevieve> "Hmm, well, we're gonna need breakfast then."
  46. May 19 20:34:37 <~zoofman> <That's okay, hatching is hard to do. Let's go back to sleep then.> He curls up on your shoulder, looking quite comfortable.
  47. May 19 20:35:46 <Chase> "Too damn cute. Tell you what, you two go back to bed and I'll work on a big breakfast for the lot of us."
  48. May 19 20:36:22 <Genevieve> "Awesome. You're the man, Chase." She heads back off to bed, leaving the egg bits for later.
  49. May 19 20:36:43 <Rosetta> "You sure?"
  50. May 19 20:37:06 <Chase> "Yeah, s'fine. I slept well enough." he stretches.
  51. May 19 20:37:48 <Rosetta> "Shiny. Thanks, Chase." Rosetta grabs hold of ZODIAC and starts floating back to her bed, already resting her head on her pillow mid-air.
  52. May 19 20:39:20 »» Chase heads off to the kitchen to get started, then!
  53. May 19 20:41:20 <~zoofman> The Mew ends up nestled in on top of Gen as you get a bit more sleep, and things quiet down as Chase gets active in the kitchen. It's a pretty warm and humid morning, as Summer is starting to kick into full effect. Funny time for a winterish convention, really.
  54. May 19 20:46:09 <~zoofman> As Chase preps and the sun rises, it's like nature itself knows something was born on the ship today. Lots of Pidoves and WIngulls perch near by and chirp in a surprisingly not annoying tune, and the occassional Goldeen splashes out of the water near the boat.
  55. May 19 20:46:24 <Chase> Chase ends up fixing a big crab quiche, hashbrowns with peppers and onions, fruit parfaits and pineapple orange mimosa.
  56. May 19 20:46:42 »» Genevieve returns after a short nap, a shower, and a change of clothes (and a selfie with Mew sent to Chione). She sits at the table with fork at the ready. "Thanks again, Chase."
  57. May 19 20:48:28 <~zoofman> It's way earlier in the morning where Chione is, so there's no immediate response to the selfie as the girl is zonked out at this hour.
  58. May 19 20:48:33 <Chase> "Hey, no problem. Enjoy. Wasn't sure what the little one would eat..." he gestures to the parfaits. "So I took a wild guess. Enjoy."
  59. May 19 20:48:40 <Chase> Minus one of those redundant enjoys
  60. May 19 20:49:53 »» Rosetta shows up in a while as well, drifting into the kitchen. "Smells yummy."
  61. May 19 20:51:44 <Chase> He grins. "Always heard a big breakfast was better than a big dinner anyway." he starts in on some of the quiche.
  62. May 19 20:52:02 <~zoofman> The still drowsy Mew hovers along with Gen, sitting down on the table and telekinetically dragging one of the parfaits over, along with a spoon, and nibbling at the sweet, easy to chew treat.
  63. May 19 20:53:04 »» Rosetta reaches over and loads up her plate with the hash browns, then goes for a mimosa. "So uh, what's the plan today? Should we get chatting with Jeremiah or what?"
  64. May 19 20:53:54 <Chase> "That's one thing. I also need to get my band on the line, and talk with Yanala..."
  65. May 19 20:53:59 <Chase> "What about you guys?"
  66. May 19 20:54:32 »» Genevieve talks between bites. "I got nothin'. You guys call who you need to."
  67. May 19 20:54:33 <Chase> "Pretty big day with the Mew hatching..." he smiles over, watching it eat.
  68. May 19 20:55:32 <~zoofman> It's not terribly different from how you've seen Sibelius eat while he watches television, telekinetically shoveling food in with a fork. Only cuter cause it's a Mew and the fruit pieces are pretty well sized for it.
  69. May 19 20:56:03 <Chase> That lazy fox
  70. May 19 20:56:37 <Genevieve> "It is. Hopefully I'm not destabilizing the metaphysical ecosystem or something wacky."
  71. May 19 20:57:37 <Chase> "Honestly, even if you were you'd be leaving a much smaller footprint than anyone else... come to think of it, is this... the first time it's happened?" He says with a realization.
  72. May 19 20:57:53 <Rosetta> "I think you'd have been warned if something like that would happen, yeah?"
  73. May 19 20:58:28 <Genevieve> "I mean, I'd hope so. Considering how many legendaries are in on this plan, I'd think at least one of them would have said something about that."
  74. May 19 20:59:10 <Chase> Chase honestly hasn't paid attention much to stories about Mews and Mewtwos so he probably can't think of a Mew that was actually successfully hatched before.
  75. May 19 20:59:40 <~zoofman> <Uncle Jenks said it would be okay! He said I'm like Phiones are to Manaphy.>
  76. May 19 21:00:22 <Chase> "That's a relief there... wow, you really are a smart one, though."
  77. May 19 21:00:23 <Genevieve> "That's good! He'd be in the know on that."
  78. May 19 21:01:41 »» Chase finishes up his breakfast pretty quickly, trying not to shovel his food down, and takes his drink with him. "I'm gonna get us on the way to bravescar in the meantime. Enjoy yourselves."
  79. May 19 21:01:50 <~zoofman> <Of course I am! Mommy read all sorts of fun books to me when I was growing.> This said he can't seem to chew fruit and emit his thoughts at the same time quite yet, so it's funny to watch him stop chewing when he does os.
  80. May 19 21:01:53 <~zoofman> so*
  81. May 19 21:02:00 <Chase> Awwww.
  82. May 19 21:02:18 <Chase> "Hah, you really are a good mommy, Gen."
  83. May 19 21:02:26 <~zoofman> (Well, you'd take a train to bravescar from here, silly goose)
  84. May 19 21:02:31 <Chase> (Oh)
  85. May 19 21:02:52 <Chase> Nevermind that, I thought he said we crashed in Darkfeather for some reason.
  86. May 19 21:03:09 <Genevieve> "I had a lot of help, but thanks. Gotta break the poor parenting trend out here."
  87. May 19 21:03:10 <Chase> He doesn't rush himself, then.
  88. May 19 21:04:47 <Chase> "Wonder what Shawyun's gonna think."
  89. May 19 21:05:10 <Chase> He takes a sip of his drink just imagining the guy wigging out at being a 'dad'.
  90. May 19 21:06:30 <Genevieve> "As long as he doesn't buy Athena a pony or something."
  91. May 19 21:08:36 <~zoofman> Once Athena has eaten his fill, he looks to Chase and projects, <Thank you for the meal, Chase.> He then floats over by a window and finds a nice place on top of one of the benchseats on topdeck to nestle in and take a nap in the sun while you guys make any plans or prep for the day.
  92. May 19 21:08:57 <Chase> He finishes up his breakfast either way it goes, though and is ready to go.
  93. May 19 21:09:27 <Chase> Or... I guess he could go ahead and call up his band but if the others want to go ahead to Bravescar, he can always do that later too.
  94. May 19 21:09:33 <Rosetta> "What's first on the agenda?"
  95. May 19 21:10:19 <Genevieve> "We can head over to Jeremiah's place. Do you want to call the band while we're on the way?"
  96. May 19 21:10:38 <Chase> "Yeah, I could do that."
  97. May 19 21:14:27 <Chase> He packs his things, gathers his pokemon, etc. He decides to bring along Treble, Cleff and Sousa today instead of Haydn, Elise and Schubert.
  98. May 19 21:14:54 »» Genevieve posts pictures of sleeping Mew all over Twitter and Instagram under a fake account. #justmewthings
  99. May 19 21:16:33 <Chase> And he's ready to hit the trains, getting out his phone so he can call up Kiara. Or Nick, or Zeke, whoever's available really.
  100. May 19 21:16:52 <~zoofman> Little does Genevieve know, this account will gain over a million followers by the end of the con and only grow from there.
  101. May 19 21:17:09 <Genevieve> Good thing that's the plan.
  102. May 19 21:19:00 <~zoofman> Chase, Kiara answers the phone as you guys wait on the train ride over. "Hey Chase, wassup?"
  103. May 19 21:20:48 <Chase> "Hey girl, how you been? We've been pretty chill, gettin' badges and shit. Speakin' of which, I had a question for you guys. You remember Alice Rhasha, right? Current standing Venomtalon gym leader, been in Bravescar taking challenges for a while? You probably heard a song or two of hers on the radio recently."
  104. May 19 21:22:36 <~zoofman> "Yeah of course I know Alice - heck we've jammed with her on occassion. I'm in Bravescar myself at the moment, matter of fact."
  105. May 19 21:25:54 »» Rosetta in the meantime texts Jeremiah and lets him know they're stopping by to chat. In Breakfast Cant it probably ends up something like "Hey, we're bringing over pancakes from the Garchomp for lunch. Can we talk about staking out that new location opening up near Shiverwing?"
  106. May 19 21:27:48 <~zoofman> It's clearly been a while since he got a message like this, because his first response is, "But I already ate breakfast."
  107. May 19 21:28:23 <~zoofman> "Oh wait, nm we could use it for lunch or something."
  108. May 19 21:29:02 <Chase> "Oh, awesome. We're on our way there, too. Thing is, and I know this is shitty of me since it's on short notice, but me and Alice were talking and she was interested in a proper stage debut at that upcoming event in Shiverwing. You know, NekoCon or somethin'? You think you guys would be up for a Panic! reunion there and playing with her?"
  109. May 19 21:29:23 <Chase> "I can tell you more details when we get there if y'all are interested."
  110. May 19 21:30:07 <~zoofman> "Neko...co - is this what I think it is?"
  111. May 19 21:31:25 <Chase> "Yeah, it's an anime convention." he laughs. "It's not -that- bad is it?"
  112. May 19 21:34:09 <~zoofman> "...Well it's sorta unexpected but I think we could get the guys together for it. I'm guessing there's some additional motive to it?"
  113. May 19 21:36:25 <Chase> He didn't really wanna discuss that bit over the phone and especially not over the train, but he decides not to be dishonest with Kiara. "Yeah, there's some other stuff to all this, though I -do- really miss you guys, y'know? Being on an explorer team's been a hell of a job and the team's great, but it just ain't been the same as hanging with you guys."
  114. May 19 21:37:21 »» Genevieve plays magnetic travel board games with Athena on the train, once he's transformed into not-a-Mew for privacy.
  115. May 19 21:37:35 <Chase> "Why don't we catch up in a bit at Bravescar? We got business with one of the Brains first but tell me where to meet you guys later."
  116. May 19 21:38:15 <~zoofman> He transforms into an Espurr, given Trebble and Cleff were around he got a look at them and figured it was an easy enough form to take on.
  117. May 19 21:38:42 »» Rosetta spends the rest of the train ride skimming through social media for explorers who have cosplay photos up or other media indicating they'd be interested in the con.
  118. May 19 21:39:52 <~zoofman> "Hehe, we've been a bit split up ourselves, lately. So yeah it'd be a great chance to get the whole crew back together. Sure - lemee know when and where!"
  119. May 19 21:40:14 <~zoofman> Rosetta, you find out pretty quickly that a lot of people are getting Sandeep Reddy to help make costumes.
  120. May 19 21:41:27 <Chase> "Yeah, alright, how about the Red Blade Frontier at.." he gives a time that he thinks is reasonable enough after they handle stuff with Jeremiah.
  121. May 19 21:44:20 <~zoofman> The most obvious things you see is Doyle from Darkfeather fronting his Jotaro Joestar costume, a few members from Hendrix's crew taking selfies with their ninja costumes, and ominous messages from both Biggy Lil and Jenks.
  122. May 19 21:45:31 <~zoofman> Jenk's simply reads, "No one will expect this one," and LIl's is "#soon"
  123. May 19 21:47:26 <~zoofman> Alright, shortly after Chase gets off the phone and arranges a meet up with Kiara, the train pulls into the residential part of Bravescar.
  124. May 19 21:50:20 <~zoofman> From what Rosetta could gather, Jeramiah is just chilling at home at the moment.
  125. May 19 21:51:11 <Rosetta> "I wonder if Yanala's still around. I mean, she wasn't back in Darkfeather, soo..." Rosetta hops up to Jeremiah's door and knocks a couple times.
  126. May 19 21:52:52 <Chase> "I heard she was here... Maybe not in Jeremiah's place, but somewhere around."
  127. May 19 21:53:14 <Genevieve> "Should we shine the magic ninja signal?"
  128. May 19 21:53:58 <~zoofman> Jeramiah opens the door after a few seconds, dressed about the same as he always does. "Morning, completely forgot about the breakfast cant thing, you know. Thought you were serious for a moment...come on in."
  129. May 19 21:54:04 <Chase> "We could stick Brahms in front of a spotlight." he jokes.
  130. May 19 21:54:10 <Chase> "Oh hey, dude."
  131. May 19 21:55:06 <Rosetta> "Heya. Yeah, we haven't really used it for a while, huh?"
  132. May 19 21:55:42 <Genevieve> "I can't believe you guys have a breakfast code."
  133. May 19 21:55:53 <Chase> "Can't be too careful, even after trashing their spying center."
  134. May 19 21:56:23 <~zoofman> Funny enough, his apartment's decor is more elaborate and exotic than even Trice's was, and there's not much bare wall left with all the scenery paintings, contemporary abstract artsy statues, and other decore. Most the surface tops are also covered in wingdings. There's a sanity to it all though, and it's neat and clean - right down to a shoe rack that's nicely organized right by the entrance.
  135. May 19 21:57:08 <Rosetta> "Shiny." Rosetta says as she steps in. "You've really made yourself at home here, yeah? Is Yanala around too? We had something to chat with her about as well."
  136. May 19 21:57:20 <~zoofman> Inside you spot two others, Thomas and Yanala, sitting on pillows on the wooden floor around a low standing coffee table.
  137. May 19 21:58:04 <Rosetta> "Oh. Hi." She waves.
  138. May 19 21:59:39 <~zoofman> They seem to be looking over something and quite absorbed in it, though they look over as you enter. Yanala waves and Thomas gives a hrmph and a nod. "We were looking over some unusual artifacts that were confiscated from some of the Sons of Grant at the battle on Mirage Isle. Heard from Roland this morning that you three would likely be visiting to brief us on something, though."
  139. May 19 22:00:14 <Chase> "Yeah, there was that... though what have you guys got?"
  140. May 19 22:00:17 <Genevieve> "Artifacts? I'm all about artifacts."
  141. May 19 22:02:26 <~zoofman> "Some bullshit card game or something," is what Thomas guesses. Yanala shakes her head. "I was about to explain what they were as you three arrived..." She holds one up, they are like the cards from the other side.
  142. May 19 22:03:09 <Chase> He pokerfaces.
  143. May 19 22:03:27 <Chase> Or at least, tries his best to pokerface.
  144. May 19 22:03:33 <Rosetta> "What'd you find out about them?"
  145. May 19 22:08:47 <~zoofman> Jeramiah scratches his head. "Well, most of them are blank, but a few had those monsters we saw in them. The ones I brought back with me from where the prisoners were seemed to be pets, though. Cute little plant monsters. We found out pretty quickly if you tap them together they do seem to start a game. When Yanala arrived she mentioned they were akin to Pokeballs."
  146. May 19 22:09:15 <Chase> 6d6+6 Emergency Intuition just in case, it -should- be chill to discuss this with these three right?
  147. May 19 22:09:15 <DiceMaid-9001> Chase, Emergency Intuition just in case, it -should- be chill to discuss this with these three right?: 25 [6d6=6,6,3,2,1,1]
  148. May 19 22:10:14 <Rosetta> "Oh cool so you can play games with the monster ones too. Yeah, they're pretty much poke balls. I'm actually sorta surprised these ones aren't -actually- poke balls."
  149. May 19 22:10:19 »» Rosetta goes up to get a better look.
  150. May 19 22:11:17 <~zoofman> She elaborates. "Some of them -do- have Pokemon in them, though I'm not sure if those ones could release - I recall seeing those a lot when...ya know," Chase, Yanala seems to be wondering the same thing you are since she knows about these. And well, like Rosetta mentioned OOC in the other channel, these guys have seen some top secret shit in the past.
  151. May 19 22:11:58 <Genevieve> "They're from another planet that is far enough away to be considered a different plane of existence."
  152. May 19 22:12:02 <Genevieve> "Let's hurry this up a bit."
  153. May 19 22:12:02 <Chase> "Yeah, the Sons keep creatures in those that they bring over from Hydaelyn." he mentions, sitting down.
  154. May 19 22:12:45 <Rosetta> "Yeah, remember that place Yanala? You bring Poke Balls over, they turn into these. You bring these back over from there, and they should turn back into Poke Balls. If you've got a computer hooked up to the storage system here, I can show you."
  155. May 19 22:13:21 <~zoofman> Jeramiah nods and goes, "Oh. I see...wait, wait...no I don't see."
  156. May 19 22:13:42 <~zoofman> Thomas leers at Rosetta. "Yeah I'm callin' bullshit," He points at a laptop sitting on the couch, expectantly.
  157. May 19 22:14:15 »» Rosetta goes over and fetches her Chocobo and Mandragora poke balls, and as the transfer happens she digs through the cards trying to find cards of those two as well.
  158. May 19 22:14:48 <~zoofman> "I believe Grant was manufacturing Pokeballs on that side as well because the cards, when brought over, would be easier to traffic...it's fuzzy, though."
  159. May 19 22:15:04 <~zoofman> Jeramiah only has empty ones, and Mandragoras.
  160. May 19 22:15:22 <~zoofman> Though he's got a cute variety of Mandragoras. There's an Unown or two as well.
  161. May 19 22:15:22 <Rosetta> "Okay, so. I brought these great balls over to the other side, and they turn into blank cards, yeah? Like these." She points at some of the blank ones. "And you can tap these on monsters to capture them, and you get something like this." She telekinetically lifts the Mandragora card.
  162. May 19 22:15:30 <Chase> "He owns a company there named Null Industries that runs some sort of entertainment deal. We've been there."
  163. May 19 22:15:44 <Rosetta> "You bring them back over, and..." Rosetta taps the release on her poke balls.
  164. May 19 22:16:06 <Genevieve> "Probably as a way to get a foothold before trying to smash the two worlds together and set to blend."
  165. May 19 22:17:26 <~zoofman> A cute little bird and a little flowerchild pop out! The bird kweh's and trots around as the Mandragora finds a comfy place to sit down on the couch.
  166. May 19 22:18:06 <Rosetta> "Aren't they adorable?" Rosetta beams. "That's Rhapsody," she points at the chocobo, "and that's Capo." She points to the mandragora.
  167. May 19 22:18:14 <~zoofman> Thomas stares at the Chocobo in minor disbelief. "Okay well maybe you're not full of shit."
  168. May 19 22:18:28 <Rosetta> "I've got a Chimera named Crescendo too, but he probably won't fit in here."
  169. May 19 22:18:41 <Chase> "Yes please don't let that out here."
  170. May 19 22:18:45 <~zoofman> Jeramiah nods, slowly parsing this over. "This...might explain a thing or two...still really weird..."
  171. May 19 22:19:00 »» Genevieve sits with Capo and Athena on the couch. "My Bomb is back on the ship. That's the name of the species, Bomb."
  172. May 19 22:19:09 <Chase> "We can catch you guys up on what we know, though Yanala might have picked up some things we missed, too."
  173. May 19 22:19:28 <Chase> "Nnnot really the thing we came to talk about but it's related."
  174. May 19 22:19:30 <~zoofman> Yanala hops up and follows the Chocobo around. "Oh! Haven't seen one of these in a while..."
  175. May 19 22:19:57 <Rosetta> "Yeah, we sorta wanted to talk about the fort, and uh....our plans to thwart Grant's plans for a big show at NekoCon."
  176. May 19 22:20:21 <Rosetta> "After all this is over, can we introduce chocobos into the Safari Zone? No one will even know they're not Pokemon."
  177. May 19 22:20:33 »» Rosetta follows Yanala following Rhapsody with her eyes.
  178. May 19 22:20:51 <Genevieve> "Introduced species are never a good idea, Rose."
  179. May 19 22:20:52 <~zoofman> Jeramiah takes a seat on the couch, next to the Mandragora. He exchanges a long glance with it, then looks back to you. "I can see why Roland sounded mildly frustrated on the phone this morning."
  180. May 19 22:21:24 <Rosetta> "Oh, I don't think we told Roland about capturing these monsters yet."
  181. May 19 22:22:24 <Chase> "I'll hurry this up a bit. We've been doing some scout duty after reaching the world Yanala was in with an artifact produced by the ancient people of Venomtalon. It lead to the other world, you've probably heard a good deal about this from the Harbinger case. We looked around and discovered Grant was bringing over a singer from there named Steel Wing to Neko Con and she's actually
  182. May 19 22:22:24 <Chase> wrapped up in the whole 'bits of Alice's soul' thing and Grant doesn't know it. We're infiltrating Neko Con to wake up Shiva."
  183. May 19 22:22:53 <Chase> "And to put a damper on Grant revealing the existance of Hydaelyn and trying to get more followers."
  184. May 19 22:23:09 <Chase> "That sort of thing."
  185. May 19 22:23:28 <Chase> "That cover it? I think that covers it."
  186. May 19 22:23:38 <~zoofman> Jeramiah rubs his chin and looks at Thomas. "This is going to be like prom all over again."
  187. May 19 22:23:42 <~zoofman> Thomas: "Why did you remind me."
  188. May 19 22:23:44 <Genevieve> "Dude has a battleship, but not enough likes and +1s apparently."
  189. May 19 22:26:02 <Chase> "I'm still confused on what Grant did to Yanala though. Apparently she was in two places at once? Not the biggest worry I guess. There's also something pretty important I'd like to speak to you about later." he says to Yanala. "But let's get this other stuff out of the way first."
  190. May 19 22:26:39 <~zoofman> Thomas gives a hefty sigh. "Okay so I can see where this is goin' but it's royally gonna piss the dude off, and he's got a big ass bunker close by. You guys thinkin' of a pincer attack?"
  191. May 19 22:27:17 <Chase> "That honestly depends on what you can tell us about the place."
  192. May 19 22:27:27 <Chase> "We came to try and find some about that out."
  193. May 19 22:27:57 <Rosetta> "I was thinking we hit the fort right after the con or even during it yeah. I mean, it's right next door, like you said."
  194. May 19 22:28:09 <~zoofman> Yanala looks up from Rhapsody. "I believe the best way to explain that, Chase, would be that my physical body was not transported, but my will and spirit were? I don't have a much better guess than you do, but given what was done to me..." She nods for your second comment.
  195. May 19 22:28:28 <Chase> "That makes more sense than not." he says to Yanala.
  196. May 19 22:29:30 <~zoofman> Jeramiah hrms, and goes off to retrieve a big rolled up sheet of paper. He clears a table and unrolls it. "Okay, so...his Misty Mountain stronghold."
  197. May 19 22:29:33 »» Genevieve snaps her fingers. "So they weren't controlling you with the Unown, the Unown Collective was literally possessing your empty body!"
  198. May 19 22:29:54 <Rosetta> "Oh that's creepy."
  199. May 19 22:30:16 »» Rosetta then warps over next to the table to look at the map or whatever Jeremiah's unfurled.
  200. May 19 22:30:17 <~zoofman> Yanala thinks on that, "I guess that makes sense. I honestly was meaning to get a chance to ask Harbinger himself what he did to us."
  201. May 19 22:31:26 <Genevieve> "While creepy, it's better for us, sort of. Means they probably can't just take people over in the middle of a fight."
  202. May 19 22:31:39 <Rosetta> "I've been meaning to ask some stuff in preparation for breaking Corbin out too."
  203. May 19 22:34:16 <~zoofman> The paper is a large diagram and floor layout of a multilevel facility. Notes are scrawled all around the edges as well. "So, what I did was pretty simple - I reached out to some people who knew people who had contacts with companies that hosted some rather powerful mapping sattelites, and started to gather infared data from the location over several weeks. We also utilized some technology similar to what coast guard
  204. May 19 22:34:16 <~zoofman> searches use to try to locate sunken ships and aircraft, by monitering metal deposits at locations."
  205. May 19 22:35:24 <Chase> "Goddamn, sometimes I love technology."
  206. May 19 22:35:51 <~zoofman> "I don't have a clear idea how populated his facility is, but I've a general outline of what the floorplan is, and based on heat signitures overlaying that made some guesses to where gas is brought in for cooking and heating, or where they have more powerful computers running."
  207. May 19 22:37:46 <Chase> "I think Bad Company was scouting around the area on foot around the time we were helping wake up the Nameless and find the Flayed One." he muses.
  208. May 19 22:37:48 <~zoofman> "My gut feeling is this isn't really a military based holding. Sure, he's suposibly training soldiers here and it has guards, but I think much of it is devoted to research or building something, and the families of a lot of his followers are also staying here."
  209. May 19 22:37:51 <Rosetta> "Whoa, that's rad."
  210. May 19 22:38:57 <Genevieve> "Civilians or what?"
  211. May 19 22:38:59 <~zoofman> "I say this because something they have done here has had an unusual effect on the wild life in the area - folks have been reporting a resurgance of Fossil Pokemon crawling up from the lower caves. Which makes me think something they are doing is supernaturally reviving the fossils."
  212. May 19 22:39:17 <Chase> "We experienced that ourselves, yeah."
  213. May 19 22:39:30 <Chase> "I had been thinking it was just a pocket that had survived for millions of years, but..."
  214. May 19 22:39:32 <~zoofman> Thomas chuckles. "Not even sure if you can call that pollution."
  215. May 19 22:40:18 <Rosetta> "Any idea what it is?"
  216. May 19 22:40:26 <Chase> "Come to think of it, I saw a SHITTON of auras somewhat below Nameless's temple."
  217. May 19 22:41:28 <~zoofman> Jeramiah continues, pointing at a large room on the lowest level of his maps. "The big thing is, there is an absolutely huge heat signiture from this room. And...I've honestly been really confused what it could be. It's going 24/7, and slowly getting brighter with time. Based on the movement of heat around it, I thought for a while it might be a vertical tunnel downward and they were using a large crane to go up and d
  218. May 19 22:41:28 <~zoofman> own it, because it looked like people were coming in and out of it."
  219. May 19 22:41:47 <Chase> "A portal?"
  220. May 19 22:42:02 <~zoofman> "I think that's way more likely based on what you are describing with this...other world." He frowns.
  221. May 19 22:42:43 <Chase> "If it's that important, then why in such an unfortified place?"
  222. May 19 22:43:17 <Chase> "The Keepers mentioned that they seemed to be waiting for an attack from the legendaries."
  223. May 19 22:43:30 <Genevieve> "Maybe a bluff? The last time he fortified something, we blitzkrieged it. And if he splits too much from the capital ship, we'll sink him."
  224. May 19 22:43:33 <Chase> "Like they were trying to goad an Usurptio..n..."
  225. May 19 22:43:34 <~zoofman> He points out another, smaller room, on a floor above this one. "This room's heat readings look like they have several, smaller, stationary devices. They could be breeding Mewtwos with them, or something else, but it's a utilized asset."
  226. May 19 22:43:53 <~zoofman> Chase, roll me Intuition.
  227. May 19 22:44:05 <Chase> He thinks back to the conversation with Heimdall and co and then what they found out about Grant wanting to replace the legendaries with primals.
  228. May 19 22:44:07 <Chase> 6d6+6
  229. May 19 22:44:07 <DiceMaid-9001> Chase, 6d6+6: 26 [6d6=5,5,1,5,1,3]
  230. May 19 22:45:25 »» Rosetta scratches her head. "You think they might be aiming to bring something through a portal while the concert's going on? In that case we pretty much have to strike during the con."
  231. May 19 22:45:30 <Chase> "...This base corresponds with their main HQ in Hydaelyn." he says after a moment.
  232. May 19 22:46:25 <Genevieve> "What, like, geographically?"
  233. May 19 22:46:32 <Chase> "They're in really similar geographical locations. Ruins, snowy mountains, trees, and dragons... And I hate to think that there's any such thing as a coincidence in this sort of fucking time."
  234. May 19 22:47:01 <Genevieve> "So it's his way to move huge amounts of monster cargo all at once."
  235. May 19 22:47:18 <~zoofman> "Knowing that one of Grant's Librarians is a scientist by the name of Dr. Shizimoto - I've a feeling this is place is largely used for more scientific works...and..." He listens to Chase.
  236. May 19 22:47:33 <Rosetta> "Oh, that's just shiny. So do we hit their base on this side or the other side then?"
  237. May 19 22:47:48 <Chase> "Shit, I don't think we're geared out for that kind of operation, Rose."
  238. May 19 22:47:58 <Genevieve> 5d6+6 Gen Edu who is Shizimoto
  239. May 19 22:47:59 <DiceMaid-9001> Genevieve, Gen Edu who is Shizimoto: 25 [5d6=5,4,4,1,5]
  240. May 19 22:48:03 <~zoofman> Thomas hm's. "So like, from the sound of it, this mountain range is about as close a location he could get on both sides - probably made making a portal a bit easier...or somethin'?"
  241. May 19 22:48:04 <Chase> "Not on this short of a notice." he thinks.
  242. May 19 22:48:05 <Genevieve> (+5 my bad)
  243. May 19 22:48:29 <Chase> "I'd be willing to bet that's the case."
  244. May 19 22:49:14 <Chase> "If we try to pull off a pincer attack, we should be focusing on taking out this portal, if that's what it is."
  245. May 19 22:49:19 <~zoofman> I'll assume by now you've read about this guy a little, Gen. The guy's Kantonese, of course. And a very, very wanted man. He's ex-Team Rocket.
  246. May 19 22:49:20 »» DiceMaid-9001 is now known as Jessie
  247. May 19 22:49:22 <Jessie> To protect the world from devastation!
  248. May 19 22:49:22 <Chase> "...I think, anyway."
  249. May 19 22:49:24 <~zoofman> shut up
  250. May 19 22:49:25 <Jessie> zoofman, sorry boss, we'll be quiet.
  251. May 19 22:50:00 <Genevieve> "Haha, wow, Grant's scientist is ex-Rocket."
  252. May 19 22:50:21 <Rosetta> "He's got a knack for gathering the crazies, huh?"
  253. May 19 22:50:23 <Genevieve> "I guess we figured out how the code got to Visiwa then."
  254. May 19 22:50:34 <~zoofman> He took over where Dr. Fuji left off, and also being a Rune Master, worked on ways of weaponizing both the Unown and other Pokemon species. One of his more troubling inventions was the armor casings that many modern mass produced Mewtwos wear.
  255. May 19 22:51:30 <Chase> "Rocket, huh..."
  256. May 19 22:52:25 <Genevieve> "Yeah...I wonder if anyone developed an armor-specific countermeasure. Chione and I might need to go government datamining."
  257. May 19 22:52:25 <Chase> "Well shit."
  258. May 19 22:52:32 <Chase> "This just got a hell of a lot more complicated."
  259. May 19 22:53:23 <Chase> "All of this shit is also in addition to the fact that we were told as the balance between Grant's side and the Banisher's started to lean, the new Fairy type would be affected, too."
  260. May 19 22:53:36 <~zoofman> Yanala speaks up, "...This location must be very critical to any movement of goods he has going on between here and Eorzea. And I imagine the location is also related to the fact that the being he wishes to summon from its slumber, is also draconic in nature."
  261. May 19 22:53:49 <Rosetta> "Would you really need to go data-mining? I bet if the Visiwan government told some other big agencies we were on the tail of an ex-Rocket guy who made armored Mewtwos, we'd get what we need."
  262. May 19 22:53:58 <~zoofman> She frowns. "I bet they got Corbin here, or on its cooresponding location on the other side..."
  263. May 19 22:53:58 <Chase> "Right, Bahamut."
  264. May 19 22:54:03 <Genevieve> "We -cannot- let him pull Bahamut through."
  265. May 19 22:54:14 <Genevieve> "I don't care if Fairy goes full Unseelie Court, this portal has to go."
  266. May 19 22:54:24 <Rosetta> (wait didn't we get told for sure Corbin was here?)
  267. May 19 22:55:24 »» Chase just leans back in his seat a moment and covers his head with his hand.
  268. May 19 22:55:34 <Chase> "Shit shit shit fuck hell shit."
  269. May 19 22:56:07 <Chase> "Okay, okay, anyone got any plans for this, then?"
  270. May 19 22:56:11 <~zoofman> Thomas chimes in next, "Anyway, Jeramiah showed me this a while ago and we thought of a way to get in. Frontal assault is just stupid, they got the top side heavily fortified and eyes all over the place."
  271. May 19 22:56:17 <Genevieve> "Good point." Sends two texts, one to Chione and one to Kent: [Dr. Shizimoto is in Visiwa, please respond]
  272. May 19 22:56:35 <Genevieve> "I have a giant drill we could use."
  273. May 19 22:56:56 <Chase> "Probably not the most subtle thing either... what did you guys find?"
  274. May 19 22:57:03 <~zoofman> "I bet a whole lot of money, that if we got Fossil Pokemon crawling up from the abyss, there's an underground passageway that leads really damn close to their facility."
  275. May 19 22:57:19 <Rosetta> "What if we got hired on as adventurers on the other side to guard the place and infiltrated from there? We saw how many adventurers Grant employed; he can't screen them all super carefully, can he?"
  276. May 19 22:57:43 <Chase> "...and even if there isn't a direct connection into the facility we could use Gen's drill."
  277. May 19 22:58:15 <Chase> "Rose, Rose. If me pretending to be a singer was going to be too high profile, do you really think that'd work?"
  278. May 19 22:58:34 <~zoofman> Jeramiah thinks on that. "I think we could maybe find some people who could cover the role for us."
  279. May 19 22:58:53 <Chase> "We do have a contact on the other side who -could- handle things like that for us though."
  280. May 19 22:59:21 <Rosetta> "I dunno, a singer is one very high profile role, and the guards looked sorta dime a dozen to me. But alright, guess we do have Hildebrand on that side." She shrugs.
  281. May 19 22:59:49 <Chase> "Next is the question of who's going to be where and when. We have this bugbear and the con happening..."
  282. May 19 23:00:22 <~zoofman> "There's a lot of potential Explorers we could utilize that he wouldn't think to warn people about, especially on the other side...but this is our situation. I imagine they've Mewtwos on sight, unspoken otherwordly terrors, and Trainers on sight."
  283. May 19 23:01:24 <Genevieve> "Thermonuclear detonation, got it." She jokes.
  284. May 19 23:05:05 <~zoofman> "I'd consider it. But not sure what would happen if we blew up a portal with a nuke. That just sounds like a bad idea, to me." Thomas adds.
  285. May 19 23:05:14 <Chase> "Like... if we do this con stuff, should we expect an immediate counter attack? Start the assault with a second team, and have the team at Shiverwing hurry their asses over when they're done? Or maybe take a few hours to mobilize... or if we strike the facility first, will they even still be present at the con for Steel Wing to be there?"
  286. May 19 23:05:56 <Chase> "If we're handling both of these in a short time frame, what are our options here?"
  287. May 19 23:06:11 <Rosetta> "They're gonna take time to set up stuff at the con. I think we can hit them with another team at the fort while we're handling the con, and maybe after we clean up there, we go in and reinforce the teams at the fort?"
  288. May 19 23:07:30 <Genevieve> "Fight portals with portals. Let's have Shark Fighter set up a relay between the con and somewhere near the fort, keep scouts on the fort in case things get active before we expect it, then mobilize right after the con is wrapped up."
  289. May 19 23:07:31 <~zoofman> Jeramiah adds, "We could potentially put up a front that would make them think we're ready for a frontal charge, and hold out until the rest arrive."
  290. May 19 23:08:02 <~zoofman> "Ah yes, we do have that useful trick of his."
  291. May 19 23:08:15 <Rosetta> "Oh, that's a good idea."
  292. May 19 23:08:30 <Rosetta> "I can help set that up now too if we have a supply of Unowns."
  293. May 19 23:11:33 <~zoofman> Yanala nodnods. "Unfortionately what I think might happen is we won't be able to harm the other side of the portal, but at least we'll deprive him of this foothold and isolate all his efforts to that one location, and his supposed ship."
  294. May 19 23:11:59 <Genevieve> "And we may be able to shut the portal down."
  295. May 19 23:13:06 <Chase> "The main downside is we won't have a direct entrance into Dalamund. Which... I guess it could be worse."
  296. May 19 23:14:02 <Chase> "I don't think we're quite ready to cross that threshold just yet..."
  297. May 19 23:15:01 <Rosetta> "Well, even if we just occupy his fort, that means we could take the other side eventually too, yeah?"
  298. May 19 23:15:27 <Rosetta> "What I'm worried about is that everyone high profile is gonna get evacuated to the other side once we start attacking."
  299. May 19 23:15:41 <Chase> "Right, Corbin..."
  300. May 19 23:16:01 <Chase> "I don't think they'll want to lose this location, though. I'd bet they'd hold out until it looked for sure it was a wash."
  301. May 19 23:16:04 <Rosetta> "And Shizimoto for that matter."
  302. May 19 23:16:12 <Chase> "By that time, we may can capture the VIPs."
  303. May 19 23:16:24 <Genevieve> "Maybe. It sounds like they might be protecting civilians here, so they'd have to pick a poison."
  304. May 19 23:18:50 <~zoofman> Thomas shrugs. "I think this sorta thing is still way more approachable than...wait, Nekocon?"
  305. May 19 23:19:03 <Chase> "Yes, Nekocon."
  306. May 19 23:19:18 <Genevieve> "Maybe we can put together a SEEL Team Six here."
  307. May 19 23:20:19 <Chase> "The birth of an Outer God is going to take place in a building full of sweaty fat guys and girls in colorful costumes."
  308. May 19 23:20:38 <Genevieve> "We truly live in a blessed time."
  309. May 19 23:21:03 <~zoofman> Thomas stares blankly, clearly thinking 'seriously? did they just pick the closest venue possible for this?'
  310. May 19 23:21:31 <~zoofman> Yanala tilts her head. "What the hell is Nekocon?"
  311. May 19 23:21:32 <Chase> "They also scheduled this lady to open for Lady Alvar apparently."
  312. May 19 23:21:45 <Genevieve> "An anime convention."
  313. May 19 23:22:05 <~zoofman> "How does one go from Nekocon, to - ..." Thomas gives up trying to rationalize it.
  314. May 19 23:22:39 <Rosetta> "Well, the last bit of Alice's soul did take the form of a catgirl, so...I guess it fits the venue."
  315. May 19 23:22:56 <Chase> "They've got ulterior motives with both places I think."
  316. May 19 23:23:23 <Chase> "But either way, guess we should get planning."
  317. May 19 23:23:27 <~zoofman> Yanala wips out a phone and starts to do some googling. "Oh. Oh... You know, even without ruining his plans this looks like it might be sort of fun."
  318. May 19 23:23:51 <Genevieve> "Okay, Jenks."
  319. May 19 23:23:53 »» Rosetta tilts her head. "Are you a big anime fan?"
  320. May 19 23:25:08 <Chase> "I've never actually been to a convention that wasn't about music, so..."
  321. May 19 23:25:21 <~zoofman> "Well, I more meant blending in with a crowd in disguise as we see this operation to its success."
  322. May 19 23:26:41 <Chase> "Blessed times indeed."
  323. May 19 23:27:57 <Rosetta> "Oh okay, I guess that makes sense. Not really hard to blend in though when everyone's in a costume, yeah?"
  324. May 19 23:28:14 <~zoofman> "How is this even going to work, though? Clearly most the staff will be replaced with operatives? And we'll be...trying to do what exactly, get Alice and this Steel Wing character on stage together?"
  325. May 19 23:28:41 <Genevieve> "Yeah, hopefully they'll cause some kind of divine resonance and voip back together."
  326. May 19 23:29:16 <Rosetta> "Well, Alice wanted a chance to talk with her first, so I figure we arrange some sort of backstage meet and greet?"
  327. May 19 23:30:41 <Chase> "I'm not sure how we're approaching that part just yet, but with Princess Monstertruck something's likely to work out."
  328. May 19 23:30:55 <Genevieve> "Whether or not it was in the plan, yeah."
  329. May 19 23:31:49 <Chase> "I've got something I can use to communicate with Steel Wing in case we end up in an emergency.
  330. May 19 23:31:49 <Chase> "
  331. May 19 23:31:54 <Chase> "Buuut we'll see how things go."
  332. May 19 23:33:05 <Rosetta> "Alright. I guess aside from that we wanna take out as many of Grant's operatives as possible without tipping them off."
  333. May 19 23:33:26 <Rosetta> "And make sure civilians don't become collateral damage."
  334. May 19 23:34:51 <~zoofman> The other three seem to be quietly thinking things over at the moment. A certain Mew in disguise is now riding Rhapsody around the apartment.
  335. May 19 23:35:23 »» Rosetta is incredibly distracted by her chocobo and his rider.
  336. May 19 23:36:53 <Genevieve> "Good talk."
  337. May 19 23:37:27 <Chase> "We have something vaguely resembling a plan at least."
  338. May 19 23:37:33 <Chase> "How many shits will Grant flip I wonder."
  339. May 19 23:38:19 <~zoofman> "I think this is what Shawyun would call a full Henderson's worth," Thomas suggests.
  340. May 19 23:39:00 <~zoofman> "I dunno. This other world business is sort of bizarre sounding but this is what the situation is - no matter what sounds like the con going team will need to improvise some."
  341. May 19 23:39:48 <Chase> "Hasn't really hurt us before, I guess."
  342. May 19 23:40:11 <Genevieve> "We're good at improv."
  343. May 19 23:41:05 <Rosetta> "That's sorta been our entire career. For better or for worse."
  344. May 19 23:42:54 <~zoofman> "This is going to be hilariously good for that Sandeep's guy's business too, isn't it," mentions Jeramiah. "Um...anything else you three wished to discuss? Thanks for finally stopping by to go over this, it's a very opportune time to put it to action as well."
  345. May 19 23:43:42 <Genevieve> "Nothing here unless you have questions"
  346. May 19 23:44:43 <Chase> "Yeah, and thanks for being so patient with us."
  347. May 19 23:45:21 <~zoofman> They shrug. "I'm sure Yanala here could tell us plenty about this other realm from her own experiences, not to mention what Harbinger has already spilled the beans on, no need to hold you guys up about it."
  348. May 19 23:45:56 <Rosetta> "Alright, guess we'll get back to our own preparations then, yeah?"
  349. May 19 23:49:53 <Chase> "Yeah, may as well..."
  350. May 19 23:53:17 <Chase> He tries to get Yanala's attention a moment.
  351. May 19 23:53:27 <Chase> "Hey, can we speak somewhere in private?"
  352. May 19 23:55:53 <~zoofman> "Hmm..? Alright," She steps outside into the hallway with you as Genevieve and Rosetta go their own way to prepare for things.
  353. May 19 23:56:48 »» Aori_Radidjiu is now known as Aori_Radisleep
  354. May 19 23:57:51 <Chase> "Okay, so... this might be a little painful to talk about, so I'm sorry... but... can we talk about your family a moment? This is extremely important, to both of us."
  355. May 19 23:58:16 <~zoofman> He frowns but doesn't say anything.

  359. May 20 00:02:37 <Chase> "I heard that you lost them some time ago... I'm sorry about that. But some weird things have started to happen lately. Ammy Myres has been stalked recently by a Ranger named Rosalind Cabello. ...I asked Oya about her and it seems she's an imposter, which lead to me trying to figure out if she was a ditto or not, and... I don't know, I thought it'd be good to bring this up to
  360. May 20 00:02:37 <Chase> you. That isn't the only thing, mind, but I'm just going to let you absorb this a minute. I should have come to you first but I wasn't sure how to approach this."
  361. May 20 00:05:01 <~zoofman> "...There never was a Rosalind in my family, who is she an imposter of, if she's just using my last name?"
  362. May 20 00:05:13 <Chase> "Well, she looked exactly like you."
  363. May 20 00:05:21 <Chase> "I figured she was impersonating a sister."
  364. May 20 00:06:37 <~zoofman> "Oh."
  365. May 20 00:06:41 <~zoofman> There's a really awkward silence.
  366. May 20 00:07:59 <~zoofman> "Not sure if I should be scared, angry, or both..." Her expression is a troubled one. "She's just been stalking your girlfriend?"
  367. May 20 00:08:05 <~zoofman> "Or it, assuming it's not human."
  368. May 20 00:08:50 <Chase> "So yeah, I don't know if this is related to what happened, but I figured I should let you know... yeah, she's been stalking Ammy. I haven't the foggiest reason why. I mean, I got guesses. We know a lot of dittos are working for the Banisher, and maybe they're looking for targets close to the Braves but other than that..."
  369. May 20 00:09:40 <Chase> "Apparently Rosetta heard of Rosalind before in something related to Corbin, but she hasn't had much of a clue about all of this either."

  371. May 20 00:11:08 <Chase> "It could also be linked to Ammy doing work looking for Cherubs, but..."
  372. May 20 00:11:53 <~zoofman> She cracks her knuckles and nods to herself a few times. "Where was this Rosalind last spotted, or does she have any associates?"
  373. May 20 00:12:25 <Chase> "I think there was this guy named Mikhail, another ranger? You'd have to ask Rosetta for more information but I'm not sure about that guy at all."

  378. May 20 00:13:24 <Chase> "Just tell her I sent you and she'll probably be uh, more than happy to share what she saw."
  379. May 20 00:14:25 <~zoofman> "Hm. I'll shoot Rosetta a text or two then. I think I may be late to this operation in Shiverwing, though. Thank you for sharing this with me, Chase."
  380. May 20 00:14:48 <Chase> "The second thing I wanted to bring up was that there was an incident that happened to my sister five years ago... She was a member of the Sundown Corsairs, and they were contracted by someone using your family name, in a job that ended up stranding her on the submerging island south of Red Blade for five years, not to mention possibly setting up a young woman named Jennifer to
  381. May 20 00:14:48 <Chase> become one of the Banisher's top four."
  382. May 20 00:16:47 <Chase> "Could have easily been a ditto too."
  383. May 20 00:17:41 <~zoofman> "Hm. Guess interrogation will be in order...and a stop to pick up supplies from Anna and figure out a disguise while I'm there for this convention..."
  384. May 20 00:18:39 <Chase> He nods. "Alright, good luck."
  385. May 20 00:18:57 <Chase> "Not that I have to tell you but don't be too reckless, okay?"
  386. May 20 00:19:27 <Chase> "I figure you'll have this handled pretty well either way you go about it."
  387. May 20 00:20:41 <~zoofman> "I don't think I'll need it for a single Ditto," she has a sly, foxy grin. "Specially if I bring Ghede along. I'll see you soon in Shiverwing."
  388. May 20 00:20:57 <Chase> He nods, grinning. "Alright, see you there."
  389. May 20 00:22:03 <Chase> He starts to head out, feeling a good bit better now.
  390. May 20 00:22:24 <~zoofman> She heads off on her own as well, plotting her hunt already.
  391. May 20 00:23:30 <~zoofman> We'll call it session for there, night guys!
