  1. Apr 22 20:04:49 <Shawyun_Sariri> You all make your way to the beach! It's fairly packed this time of year with tourists and such with the league starting, but word of mouth is a bit farther up is a less crowded spot due to an abundance of Krabbies, Wingulls and Duckletts. Most tourist seem a bit on edge around them given the beliefs about wilds around these parts, but where to set up camp is up to you guys!
  2. Apr 22 20:07:20 »» Chase has shown up wearing nothing but some purple trunks, though he's carrying a few things in a nylon sack thrown over his shoulder. He looks around to get a good idea of where this particular spot is. Less crowded sounds good.
  3. Apr 22 20:08:55 <Shawyun_Sariri> It's fairly easy to locate as you walk up shore. People seem to stop making camps the second a krabby is in sight.
  4. Apr 22 20:10:08 »» Genevieve is wearing a pink and black two-tone bakini, currently mostly covered by a matching sarong. She has a beach bag with her and a collapsed umbrella in one hand. "We sitting out here in the boonie?"
  5. Apr 22 20:10:47 »» castfromhp is now known as Rosetta
  6. Apr 22 20:11:16 <Chase> "We're gonna have enough people 'round soon enough anyway." he shrugs.
  7. Apr 22 20:13:09 »» Chase finds a nice spot, and carefully sets down his bag, starting to unpack the contents. Numerous beach towels, some light sunscreen, his hookah, of course, and all of its related paraphanalia...
  8. Apr 22 20:13:33 »» Chase makes extra sure to keep the latter away from the sand.
  9. Apr 22 20:14:23 <Saryx> Saryx shows up over in the area a bit more modestly dressed than the other, sporting a pair of navy blue trunks and a black t-shirt. He made sure to bring the cooler along, and stocked it up with, like... Well, food stuffs and water bottles, mostly, since he trusts Razor to bring enough soda to end world hunger.
  10. Apr 22 20:14:46 <Genevieve> "Oh right, you asked Mir-Eye about the hookah. What did you want to use today?"
  11. Apr 22 20:15:35 <Chase> "Was thinking about the expensive stuff, VisionQuest. I imagine that shit's pretty good. If we got some time, maybe one of the others."
  12. Apr 22 20:16:36 <Chase> He takes some time to look at the packaging for the tobacco.
  13. Apr 22 20:16:38 <Genevieve> "We should probably make sure the wildlife is pretty tame before we get high and start seeing stuff." She gestures at the Krabbies and Corphish. "Look harmless so far, though."
  14. Apr 22 20:16:55 <Shawyun_Sariri> It's not long before the girls from The Moon Wardens find you guys.
  15. Apr 22 20:16:59 <Rosetta> Now no longer wrapped, Rosetta shows up in a black bikini top and black and white striped swim trunks. A white towel with purple floral print is draped over her shoulders for now, and she has a large case of sodas in each hand. Glissani has made her perch on Rosetta's head.
  16. Apr 22 20:17:31 <Rosetta> "Heya!" Rosetta tries to wave best she can while carrying a case of soda. It sort of a half-shrug.
  17. Apr 22 20:17:39 <Chase> "You'll probably get pinched if you fuck with them but as long as you leave them alone... shouldn't be a problem."
  18. Apr 22 20:18:00 <Chase> "Sup!" he waves, both at Saryx, Rosetta, and the Wardens.
  19. Apr 22 20:18:10 <Shawyun_Sariri> Miracle Eye is wearing a fairly modest green two piece with a sarong, Annette a white two piece, and Dahlia seems to be slogging behind them in a yellow bikini bottom, but has a jacket on.
  20. Apr 22 20:19:17 »» Genevieve crouches in the sand and gives one of the Krabby a little finger wave. "I hope not, look at their cute little faces." She looks up to nod at the arriving Wardens and Braves. "Hey girls and Saryx."
  21. Apr 22 20:19:20 <Shawyun_Sariri> Annette and Miracle Eye wave as they approach. Annette: "Hi!" Mir: "Afternoon. Nice spot you snagged."
  22. Apr 22 20:19:41 <Shawyun_Sariri> The Krabby scuttles along, "cookie cookie."
  23. Apr 22 20:20:01 <Chase> (God)
  24. Apr 22 20:20:03 <Chase> (Dammit
  25. Apr 22 20:20:36 <Saryx> "Hey, everyone!" Saryx calls out, making his way over to the rest of the group. "Razor, your sodas! Bring them here!" He baps the cooler indicatively, flipping the lid open for her to place everything in.
  26. Apr 22 20:20:42 <Chase> "It's a bit out of the way, but better than kids running by, screaming and kicking up sand everywhere..." he glances at his hookah.
  27. Apr 22 20:21:24 <Genevieve> "Chase doesn't want to give them a contact high, so considerate." She mimics the Krabby, sidling along the beach after it.
  28. Apr 22 20:21:58 <Chase> "That, too."
  29. Apr 22 20:22:15 <Shawyun_Sariri> Miracle Eye chuckles as she lays out a towel and takes a seat. Dahlia just sorta plops in the sand. Annette heads over to the cooler, curious what you brought.
  30. Apr 22 20:23:19 <Genevieve> "Oh, someone set this up." Gen tosses the umbrella back towards the group, letting it land in the sand. "I'm communicating with the natives."
  31. Apr 22 20:23:19 »» Chase watches Gen go after the crab with some momentary disbelief, but shakes his head. "How y'all today?" he asks the wardens, eyeing Annette a moment.
  32. Apr 22 20:24:10 <Rosetta> "Sure thing!" Rosetta trots over with her cases of soda and starts dumping them in the cooler. It's probably pretty odd seeing her out of her sneaky sneak hoodie and other tightfitting clothes. It's at least apparent now that she in fact does have tracts of land.
  33. Apr 22 20:24:29 »» Rosetta then immediately grabs out one of the cans of soda and pops it open, taking a long drink.
  34. Apr 22 20:24:43 <Rosetta> "You've got the beers, yeah?" She tilts her head and looks to Chase.
  35. Apr 22 20:24:55 <Shawyun_Sariri> Eventually a Wingull swoops down and tries to snag the Krabby, and they scuffle a bit before the bird backs off. "Cookie!"
  36. Apr 22 20:25:14 <Chase> "Yeah, they're in the cooler."
  37. Apr 22 20:25:30 »» Kaori_Kradidjiu is now known as DRAGON_FIGHTER
  38. Apr 22 20:26:22 <Chase> "We brought a little something for Dahlia, figured it might be better before Chione or someone got to her first." he grins, good-naturedly.
  39. Apr 22 20:26:28 <Saryx> Peering her head in, Annette can see on one side of the cooler's some of Saryx' belongings, mostly hidden under a towel tossed in there. On the other side... Lessee... He tried to get a mix of not-terrible things. There's a whole bunch of different fruits, some basic party snackfoods... Some ice cream type stuff and the like near the bottom, too, even! And not that shitty "colored
  40. Apr 22 20:26:29 <Saryx> stuff in the tube" crap, either. All scattered amidst the water and soda and the like. "Oh, I put it on the side beneath my towel after picking it up, Chase! ... What'd you need me to get just the Blue Moon for, anyway?"
  41. Apr 22 20:26:29 »» Genevieve shakes her fist at the Wingull as it backs away. "Get out of here, bird, the girl you want is over there. Hold still, baby." She searches through her beach bag and finds a potion to give the wild Krabby a spritz.
  42. Apr 22 20:26:30 <Rosetta> "Shiny."
  43. Apr 22 20:26:58 <Chase> "What, you missed that?" he says to Saryx.
  44. Apr 22 20:27:08 »» Rosetta hops around in place and looks to the Wingull.
  45. Apr 22 20:27:21 <Genevieve> "Did your bird sense go off?"
  46. Apr 22 20:27:28 <Shawyun_Sariri> The Krabby gives a little salute of thanks and continues to idle around near you.
  47. Apr 22 20:27:41 <Rosetta> "Shush, Gen."
  48. Apr 22 20:28:00 <Shawyun_Sariri> Annette: "Oooooh ice cream..."
  49. Apr 22 20:28:39 <Saryx> "Miss what?" He tilts his head sideways, scratching at the area right in front of his ear.
  50. Apr 22 20:28:46 »» Chase is actually somewhat surprised by uh, Rose's tracts, but he's not going to stare or anything.
  51. Apr 22 20:29:20 <Chase> "Well, nevermind, it's for Dahlia."
  52. Apr 22 20:29:37 <Shawyun_Sariri> Miracle Eye: "Seems you all recovered better from last night than she has," she nods at Dahlia.
  53. Apr 22 20:30:00 <Chase> "She have a rough night? Not the only one, really... but this morning turned out a lot better than I expected."
  54. Apr 22 20:30:08 <Saryx> And yeah, ice cream! Chipwiches, one of those variety packs of pops (like Push Pops, Creamsicles, the twinpops... that kind of stuff), those little cups with the wooden scoopy thingies... Probably other stuff, too. "Help yourself, Annette! Made sure to pick up a whole bunch at the store on my way here!"
  55. Apr 22 20:30:31 »» Genevieve pulls some of the wet sand around and starts to clump it into a mound for sculpting. "Chocotacos?"
  56. Apr 22 20:30:32 »» Chase recovers the beer and passes it over to the catlady
  57. Apr 22 20:31:03 »» Rosetta hops around at this, nodding to Chase and then looking to Dahlia expectantly.
  58. Apr 22 20:31:05 <Chase> "What, he's got chocotacos?"
  59. Apr 22 20:32:15 <Genevieve> "That was a question, does he?"
  60. Apr 22 20:32:30 <Shawyun_Sariri> Dahlia looks at it for a bit, grabs a lanyard sticking out of one of her jacket pockets, pops the top off and starts sipping with a meek thanks.
  61. Apr 22 20:33:09 <Saryx> "Chocotacos... Ummm..." He digs in the cooler before pulling out a box. "Yep! I picked up a box of those, too, Gen!"
  62. Apr 22 20:33:57 <Shawyun_Sariri> Annette scoops out a cup ice cream and starts to nom, staring at Dahlia. "Is she still drunk?"
  63. Apr 22 20:34:00 »» Genevieve holds out her hand and makes weak grasping motions. "Hey krabcakes, you want to split a taco?"
  64. Apr 22 20:34:08 <Saryx> He plops down a PokeBall, letting out his little Vulpix. "I brought refrigeration, too~"
  65. Apr 22 20:34:10 <Shawyun_Sariri> Miracle Eye: "She wasn't when she got back, but then remedied that I think."
  66. Apr 22 20:34:30 <Shawyun_Sariri> The krabby seems confused. "Cookie?"
  67. Apr 22 20:34:43 <Chase> "Sobriety's overrated sometimes."
  68. Apr 22 20:35:05 <Chase> "Dunno what happened, but... guess I'll give her a bit before prodding about that thing."
  69. Apr 22 20:35:08 <Genevieve> "Not quite, but it's got bread and chocolate, so it's close." She gets up and grabs a chocotaco from the cooler, then opens it and breaks off some to give to the wildlife.
  70. Apr 22 20:35:40 <Shawyun_Sariri> The Krabby grips it with one of his claws, and examines it. "Cookie." he nods, and starts to nibble.
  71. Apr 22 20:35:56 »» Rosetta isn't really waiting but also isn't actively prodding Dahlia. She just has her head titled with an expectant look on her face as she looks over at the drunk catwoman.
  72. Apr 22 20:37:06 <Genevieve> "I forgot to ask. How -is- everyone doing this morning? Feeling pretty fantastic myself."
  73. Apr 22 20:37:27 <Shawyun_Sariri> Dahlia head tilts. "Oh. Right...bleh."
  74. Apr 22 20:37:51 <Chase> "Pretty good for waking up on a bathroom floor."
  75. Apr 22 20:38:05 <Chase> He snags a chocotaco and some of those crackers with ham and cheese things.
  76. Apr 22 20:38:42 <Shawyun_Sariri> Miracle Eye and Annette both seem pretty well themselves.
  77. Apr 22 20:38:52 »» Chase relaxes a bit, since it looks like Dahlia is going to speak.
  78. Apr 22 20:38:54 »» Rosetta pokes at Chase when Dahlia starts to remember the deal.
  79. Apr 22 20:39:13 »» Chase nods.
  80. Apr 22 20:39:38 <Genevieve> "Found out that the Mewtwos running around the islands are actually bootlegs. No true Mew genome as far as I can tell." She speaks between bites of ice cream.
  81. Apr 22 20:39:40 <Saryx> "I'm... Gonna have to find the Bastards later..." Saryx hangs his head in shame. "One of 'em took off with my shirt last night... The one who I made that knife for. But I'm good otherwise, I think~"
  82. Apr 22 20:41:50 <Chase> "Man, what even happened?" he laughs.
  83. Apr 22 20:41:55 <Chase> "Ah, well."
  84. Apr 22 20:42:17 <Shawyun_Sariri> Dahlia: "Basichally...I got tossed out of the famihly estate after refusing to adohpt an Axew and being sent to live with a crazy uncle of mine. One of my couhins was planning to visit here...so I came with and ended up in Darkfeather."
  85. Apr 22 20:42:38 <Shawyun_Sariri> Miracle Eye: "Bootlegs? Hm...interesting." She seems she's heard this story before
  86. Apr 22 20:42:45 <Shawyun_Sariri> Annete sure hasn't, she's listening as well.
  87. Apr 22 20:43:48 »» Rosetta nods in recognition at what Gen's said, but her attention quickly returns to Dahlia.
  88. Apr 22 20:43:49 <Genevieve> "Yeah, it's giving some credence to my theory that Mew and Ditto are genetically quite similar, vindication is always better than a hang over."
  89. Apr 22 20:44:04 <Saryx> "Captain Arnaldo's what happened," he says to Chase. Nothing more, nothing less. And attention directed to Gen now!
  90. Apr 22 20:45:39 <Shawyun_Sariri> Dahlia: "Had heard there was a breehder there who speciahized in mammels, but soon realizhed she was actually...well, not in the city. And couhldn't leave to go there. Ran into him by chance and he helped me sneak out and get there..."
  91. Apr 22 20:45:43 <Genevieve> "They really kicked you out over an Axew? That's hella lame, Dahlia. They better get their priorities straight." Gen reaches down to spread the mound into a four-walled box, the beginning of a castle.
  92. Apr 22 20:46:15 »» Chase pays attention to Dahlia. "Shit, yeah. That's rough..." he looks rather concerned.
  93. Apr 22 20:46:30 <Chase> But he nods when she gets to 'him'
  94. Apr 22 20:47:19 <Shawyun_Sariri> Dahlia: "My family has this stupid. I'm leavihng it at that for now."
  95. Apr 22 20:47:29 <Shawyun_Sariri> (has this stupid idea about raising kids*)
  96. Apr 22 20:49:26 »» Chase nods again.
  97. Apr 22 20:49:28 <Rosetta> "Yeah, I getcha." Rosetta nods along. Glissani probably struggles to stay perched.
  98. Apr 22 20:50:27 <Chase> "So the guy who helped you sneak out..." He snacks a bit before his chocotaco melts.
  99. Apr 22 20:50:52 <Shawyun_Sariri> Dahlia: "She semed to take a liking to me, I guess? Gave me Nova for free, and I stahyed there a few weeks till meeting Mir when she stopped by one day. Rest is history but got to know him fairhly well since, well, he was the Breeder's son..."
  100. Apr 22 20:51:21 <Shawyun_Sariri> Dahlia: "...Not that any of that matters, though, bleeeh." She returns to the drink.
  101. Apr 22 20:51:37 <Shawyun_Sariri> It's around that time that Lilith and Scarlet start coming your way!
  102. Apr 22 20:52:03 <Break> "FUCK YES CHOCOTACOS"
  103. Apr 22 20:52:06 »» Break is now known as Lilith
  104. Apr 22 20:52:10 <Genevieve> "Would he happen to be your mysterious crush?" Gen teases as she works on the north tower.
  105. Apr 22 20:53:15 <Shawyun_Sariri> Annette squints.
  106. Apr 22 20:53:24 <Shawyun_Sariri> "Wait, wait...ppppfffft."
  107. Apr 22 20:53:30 »» Lilith is dragging a -rather large- cooler behind her. She's decided to wear all black - from the bikini down to the sarong, all bearing a tropical floral embossing - and her usual ponytail and glasses has been replaced by a pair of slim, rimless shades.
  108. Apr 22 20:53:51 <Lilith> Goddamn, this thing is heavy. Dedekind is helping to push from the other side, but isn't seeing much success.
  109. Apr 22 20:54:07 <Lilith> Stubby little arms cannot do much. D:<
  110. Apr 22 20:54:11 <Shawyun_Sariri> Scarlet's wearing, big surprise, a red bikini, with sunglasses. She seems a bit perplexed with all the luggage Lilith has.
  111. Apr 22 20:54:35 <Saryx> "!" Saryx turns to the voice of the shout for Chocotacos. "Hey! Dr. Vai!" He waves over to her and... Hunh, who's that? "Need help with that cooler any?"
  112. Apr 22 20:54:36 <Genevieve> "Uh oh, Dr. Vai's got her shades on." Gen looks through her bag and pulls out some pink stunnas, which she flips open and puts on.
  113. Apr 22 20:54:38 <Lilith> * and her hair simply worn down, bluh
  114. Apr 22 20:55:13 <Shawyun_Sariri> Scarlet: "Hi Chase. And...everyone else. Don't think I've been introduced to most of you."
  115. Apr 22 20:55:16 <Lilith> "NO WE ARE FINE WE ARE STRONG WE ARE THE BEST GO DED GO"
  116. Apr 22 20:55:30 <Lilith> "Hnnnnngh!"
  117. Apr 22 20:55:57 <Lilith> Eventually Lilith and the Gible make it over. Dedekind faceplants into the sand, unmoving, before comping down at the ground.
  118. Apr 22 20:55:59 <Shawyun_Sariri> Annette just can't stop giggling about something Dahlia hunts around for another beer.
  119. Apr 22 20:57:30 <Lilith> chomping*
  120. Apr 22 20:57:43 »» Genevieve leans over to the Krabby and jerks her thumb at Annette. "She's the weird one."
  121. Apr 22 20:58:09 <Saryx> "You're gonna hurt yourself pulling that thing, Dr. Vai! It's like an armored truck you're hauling around there!" He starts darting over to help despite the woman's protests. ... Albeit a bit too late, it seems. "And hi there~" He says to the newcomer.
  122. Apr 22 20:58:57 <Shawyun_Sariri> The Krabby nods. "Cookie."
  123. Apr 22 20:59:02 <Lilith> "Anyway, this beach party is officially now -awesome-. Family recipes and whatnot."
  124. Apr 22 20:59:29 »» Lilith throws open the top of the cooler, revealing a full array of breakfast foods.
  125. Apr 22 21:00:00 <Chase> "Hey, Scarlet." he says with a grin. "Thanks for getting through that much, Dahlia." he nods, getting up and going to greet the girls.
  126. Apr 22 21:00:05 <Lilith> Pancakes, scrambled eggs, hot sauce, bacon, sausage, tortillas, hash browns, you name it. There's also some Oran Juice, fruit punch, and Arnold Palmers in capped jugs.
  127. Apr 22 21:00:31 <Lilith> There's also a paper bag stuffed in the corner, which Lilith promptly points at. "That one's for the soda fiend."
  128. Apr 22 21:01:16 <Lilith> A large jar of bakery-leftover snack mix is also provided.
  129. Apr 22 21:01:31 »» Saryx peers inside the cooler once flipped over, a look of amazement on his face. "Maaan, Dr. Vai! How much did you even make that you were weighed down by the cooler that much?!?"
  130. Apr 22 21:01:47 <Rosetta> "What is it?" Rosetta hops over and peers at the paper bag.
  131. Apr 22 21:01:48 <Lilith> "Breakfast on the beach is the -tits-."
  132. Apr 22 21:01:57 <Shawyun_Sariri> Scarlet: "I told her it was a bit much but..."
  133. Apr 22 21:02:05 <Chase> "Lookin' nice." he compliments Scarlet, before glancing over at the cooler with wonder. "Uhh, that's a bit much for a beach party, ain't it? Gonna be hard to take a swim with all that packed down..."
  134. Apr 22 21:02:08 »» Lilith also peers at the hookah. "Also great after a smoke, but whatever!"
  135. Apr 22 21:02:43 <Lilith> Three glass bottles are inside, all imported from Gennisian Boylan Bottling Company!
  136. Apr 22 21:02:58 <Shawyun_Sariri> Annette: "But. Isn't...well it's sorta obvious now I guess..."
  137. Apr 22 21:03:12 <Lilith> Blood Cherrim Soda, Blood Oran Soda (with some pulp), and Tamarind Mix.
  138. Apr 22 21:03:17 <Chase> "Well, hell, like anyone's here to go swimming." he laughs. "How're y'all today?"
  139. Apr 22 21:03:54 »» Genevieve puts together a plate of Lil's food and sits back at the half-finished castle. "Aw yeah, invite Lil and get free food." She tears a pancake in half and hands one half to Krabcakes.
  140. Apr 22 21:04:13 <Lilith> Dedekind digs into the beach and submerges into the sand, his fin staying above ground as he carves out an exploratory path.
  141. Apr 22 21:04:33 <Genevieve> "I'll swim as long as we aren't camped next to a Tentacool swarm or something."
  142. Apr 22 21:04:34 <Rosetta> "Shiny." Rosetta goes for the Tamarind Mix. "Thanks Lil."
  143. Apr 22 21:04:45 <Shawyun_Sariri> Scarlet: "Tired. Business was a bit crazy today. People always want cute baby Pokemon when the contests start..."
  144. Apr 22 21:05:03 <Lilith> "No problem! I was at BevDeluxe and figured you might want some of their specialty stuff."
  145. Apr 22 21:06:05 <Shawyun_Sariri> Scarlet looks over to Dalhia. "What's wrong with her?"
  146. Apr 22 21:06:43 <Rosetta> "Family recipes, huh?" Rosetta scoops up a plate of food. "...Does your family ever eat anything that isn't breakfast?" She loads up a second plate and holds it out to Dahlia.
  147. Apr 22 21:06:47 <Lilith> The Gible eventually resurfaces under the Krabby, lifting it up.
  148. Apr 22 21:06:49 <Genevieve> "Hang over and we made her talk about family stuff."
  149. Apr 22 21:07:03 <Lilith> "Well, yeah, of course."
  150. Apr 22 21:07:09 <Chase> "Ehh.... she's had kind of a rough night herself, from what I heard. I dunno what happened and I don't really intend to pry."
  151. Apr 22 21:07:18 »» Genevieve hands Dede a sausage. "Don't eat Krabcakes, Dede."
  152. Apr 22 21:07:24 <Lilith> "But breakfast is the best meal of the day! The family's chain never stops trying new things with it, too."
  153. Apr 22 21:07:42 <Chase> "Hopefully a little sun and enjoying herself out here will cheer her up a bit, yeah?"
  154. Apr 22 21:07:46 <Lilith> He devours the sausage in a single gulp. He likes people! He -especially- likes people that feed him! :D
  155. Apr 22 21:07:46 <Shawyun_Sariri> Dedekind seems more curious what it is, and to prefer pancakes.
  156. Apr 22 21:08:11 »» Genevieve eats the sausage and passes him a pancake.
  157. Apr 22 21:08:35 <Lilith> "I heard rumors about tests for new mixes."
  158. Apr 22 21:08:46 <Lilith> "One of the mixes seriously came alive when cooked."
  159. Apr 22 21:08:51 <Lilith> "Turned into a batter-Sandile."
  160. Apr 22 21:09:00 <Shawyun_Sariri> Garcia and Norina both come running over with a "heeeeey!" before too long.
  161. Apr 22 21:09:03 <Chase> "Speaking of enjoyment... man, I can't even imagine how it must be. I was kinda curious about the contest circuit myself, but I wasn't going to go and get pokemon -just for that-... Hell, I imagine you've been run ragged, then, Scarlet. Why don't you come on over here and take a load off? You want some sunscreen?" he asks, holding up the bottle.
  162. Apr 22 21:09:32 <Chase> Chase passes on the breakfast for now, but he'll be back.
  163. Apr 22 21:09:43 <Lilith> "Well, okay, rumor's probably not the best word for it. There's evidence in the papers."
  164. Apr 22 21:10:01 <Saryx> "... You didn't use any of that same recipe that made the edible Pokemon in these, did you, Dr. Vai?"
  165. Apr 22 21:10:20 »» Rosetta suddenly looks down at her food, squinting at it to make sure it isn't turning into various pancakemons.
  166. Apr 22 21:10:23 <Saryx> He's now a bit hesitant to reach into the cooler, out of fear something'll reach back for him.
  167. Apr 22 21:10:30 »» Lilith lays out a towel and sticks a large umbrella into the sand. "Nah. Relatively standard stuff for this one."
  168. Apr 22 21:10:46 <Genevieve> "I think that's an urban legend, like the gummi Pokemon that are supposed to live in the Russian wastelands or whatever, Lil."
  169. Apr 22 21:10:54 <Lilith> "There's enough in there to make breakfast burritos if you want."
  170. Apr 22 21:11:06 <Lilith> "But wouldn't it be -awesome- to have a Pancakedile?"
  171. Apr 22 21:11:18 <Lilith> "Even you have to admit to being curious about the possibilities, Dr. Webb."
  172. Apr 22 21:11:19 <Rosetta> "Wouldn't you be afraid of somethin' eating it?"
  173. Apr 22 21:11:37 <Saryx> "And wouldn't it... I don't know, go bad or something after a while?"
  174. Apr 22 21:11:43 <Genevieve> "Well, of course, but sounds a bit like -magic-, so, you know. Not my field."
  175. Apr 22 21:11:45 <Rosetta> "Gross."
  176. Apr 22 21:12:03 <Lilith> "Also GARCIA"
  177. Apr 22 21:12:05 <Lilith> "TICKETS"
  178. Apr 22 21:12:09 <Lilith> "FORK THEM OVER"
  179. Apr 22 21:12:13 <Shawyun_Sariri> Scarlet grins. "Let me guess. You want to apply it. Sly of you - oh no here comes trouble."
  180. Apr 22 21:12:19 <Shawyun_Sariri> Rosetta, roll Perception <;3c
  181. Apr 22 21:12:28 »» Rosetta hops up after taking another bite of food, grabbing her bag. She takes advantage of Lil accosting Garcia and heads to Norina.
  182. Apr 22 21:12:37 <Rosetta> 2d6+1 perceptan
  183. Apr 22 21:12:37 <DiceMaid-9001> Rosetta, perceptan: 9 [2d6=5,3]
  184. Apr 22 21:12:45 »» Chase grins. "Aw, you got me. ...hm?" he looks over, noticing Garcia and Norina. "Oh, yeah."
  185. Apr 22 21:12:48 <Shawyun_Sariri> You notice just in time to avoid being tackled by both.
  186. Apr 22 21:12:56 <Shawyun_Sariri> They plop in the sand beside you.
  187. Apr 22 21:13:23 »» Lilith shakes Garcia.
  188. Apr 22 21:13:28 <Rosetta> "Hey, hey! I've got food here."
  189. Apr 22 21:13:48 <Shawyun_Sariri> Garcia's wearing basketball shorts and a t-shirt, Norina a one piece, more formal swimwear than anything.
  190. Apr 22 21:14:35 <Shawyun_Sariri> Norina: "Oof. That normally works...hi cuz!"
  191. Apr 22 21:14:41 <Shawyun_Sariri> Garcia: "Heeeey~"
  192. Apr 22 21:15:09 <Lilith> "You told me to come and get them, and I am here. Getting them. With a -vengeance-."
  193. Apr 22 21:15:39 <Chase> "See, Gen? Told you there'd be plenty of people."
  194. Apr 22 21:15:50 <Rosetta> "Heya Mega Punch." Rosetta hops around to Norina's other side in a few steps. She tilts her head and says more quietly. "Just you from the gym today?"
  195. Apr 22 21:16:06 »» Genevieve pats the east tower of the sand castle nice and square. "Yeah, I see that. Enjoying the clamperl fest, Chase?"
  196. Apr 22 21:16:16 <Shawyun_Sariri> Garcia gets up with a short circuit. "But I don't have your jimmies on me, Lilith!" She turns her pockets inside out, nope no jimmies.
  197. Apr 22 21:16:18 <Rosetta> "I'm guessin' anyway, you aren't exactly wearing a showy swimsuit."
  198. Apr 22 21:16:58 <Lilith> :|
  199. Apr 22 21:17:03 <Lilith> "And no tickets, either?"
  200. Apr 22 21:17:17 <Chase> "What, not cloyster?"
  201. Apr 22 21:17:47 <Genevieve> "Well, -mine
  202. Apr 22 21:17:59 <Genevieve> 's not covered in spikes."
  203. Apr 22 21:18:00 <Shawyun_Sariri> Norina: "Sorta. Garcia and I just got back from, well, you saw the thing right?"
  204. Apr 22 21:18:11 <Chase> "I'll have to take your word for it."
  205. Apr 22 21:18:14 <Shawyun_Sariri> Garcia: "Nerp." She tries to get some breakfast.
  206. Apr 22 21:18:35 »» Chase scoots over for a spot for Scarlet.
  207. Apr 22 21:18:45 <Saryx> Saryx has to turn away from the rest of everyone and cover his face when Gen makes her comment about the Clamperl fest.to hide and stifle his incoming bout of laughter ... And then Chase's add-on causes him to lose what little composure he had. He falls to the sand laughing.
  208. Apr 22 21:18:45 <Rosetta> "Oh. That actually happened, huh? Awkward?"
  209. Apr 22 21:18:59 <Shawyun_Sariri> There's plenty of space, she's just standing beside you at the moment.
  210. Apr 22 21:20:10 <Chase> Well, he was going to sit down, he's offering a towel nearby for her to sit.
  211. Apr 22 21:20:13 <Genevieve> "Hey doc, you seen horseface yet today?"
  212. Apr 22 21:20:37 <Shawyun_Sariri> Norina: "Sorta? He seems pretty used to it though..." Garcia: "He's a tough cookie to crack." The Krabby is intruiged by said cookies.
  213. Apr 22 21:21:23 <Shawyun_Sariri> Scarlet lays down on the towel face forward. "Horse face?"
  214. Apr 22 21:21:32 <Shawyun_Sariri> Roll Perception everyone.
  215. Apr 22 21:21:39 <Rosetta> 2d6+1

  220. Apr 22 21:21:42 <DiceMaid-9001> Genevieve, 2d6+3: 10 [2d6=6,1]
  221. Apr 22 21:22:01 <Saryx> "Yeah... Where is Shawyun, Dr. Vai?!?" he starts asking after he recomposes himself. "I still need to find him after last night myself."
  222. Apr 22 21:22:02 <Saryx> 3d6+1
  223. Apr 22 21:22:03 <DiceMaid-9001> Saryx, 3d6+1: 9 [3d6=2,5,1]
  224. Apr 22 21:22:46 <Shawyun_Sariri> Chase, Genevieve and Saryx see a bright red object coming toward your spot from farther down the beach. With a man on it, holding a large...net of sorts over his head.
  225. Apr 22 21:23:09 »» Chase gets the sunscreen ready, then, squeezing some into his palms and rubbing it gently onto Scarlet's back. He frowns at the... thing coming towards them. "What."
  226. Apr 22 21:23:10 <Rosetta> "So why's he not here hanging with us after that? Or Anna?" Rosetta tilts her head.
  227. Apr 22 21:23:53 »» Genevieve looks up. "That's probably him." She points at the red thing moving down the beach.
  228. Apr 22 21:23:56 <Saryx> Saryx puts his hand over his face so the sun doesn't get in the way as he focuses in. "... Ummm... Guys? Any chance you see that, too?!?"
  229. Apr 22 21:24:06 <Shawyun_Sariri> Norina: "Said he was going to a thing at a coffee place. Blondie got swarmed by fans I think."
  230. Apr 22 21:24:24 <Saryx> "... Wait, that's Shawyun, you think?" Just... How fast is Big Red going?!?
  231. Apr 22 21:24:27 <Chase> "The downsides of being popular, I guess."
  232. Apr 22 21:24:49 <Lilith> :|||||
  233. Apr 22 21:24:57 <Genevieve> "If he tramples this -work of art-" she motions at her half-finished Krabby Mansion, "I'll lobotimize him."
  234. Apr 22 21:25:16 <Lilith> "I am just going to ignore the weird shit for today, and just try to enjoy myself."
  235. Apr 22 21:25:29 »» Lilith lays face down on her towel with a huff.
  236. Apr 22 21:25:31 <Chase> "Sounds like a pretty good idea."
  237. Apr 22 21:26:15 <Genevieve> "I may have volunteered to deal with the weird shit today, Lil, so feel free to relax."
  238. Apr 22 21:26:19 <Lilith> "Uh," she begins awkwardly, "mind if I get some sunscreen, please? In the scramble to bring the food here, I totally forgot it."
  239. Apr 22 21:26:21 <Saryx> Saryx' ears perk up at mention of 'art.' "What are you working on over there, anyway, Gen?!?" He glances over, intrigued.
  240. Apr 22 21:26:30 <Shawyun_Sariri> As it approaches it becomes clear it's Shawyun. Horse mask, vollyball under one arm, net in the other held like a trident. The Rapidash bolts past you as he plants the net rather skillfully, then hops off. "THE FUN HAS ARRIVED." He's wearing a bright pink speedo as well. No trampling was done in the making of this volleyball court.
  241. Apr 22 21:26:45 <Lilith> "NO SCREW YOU"
  242. Apr 22 21:26:45 <Chase> "Oh dear lord."
  243. Apr 22 21:26:48 <Shawyun_Sariri> "Oh hey breafast."
  244. Apr 22 21:26:49 <Lilith> "THE FUN WAS ALREADY HERE"
  245. Apr 22 21:26:50 <Genevieve> "Krabcakes is king of the beach, Saryx, he needs a place to rule from."
  246. Apr 22 21:27:04 <Lilith> "Ded will be the royal guard!"
  247. Apr 22 21:27:05 <Lilith> "Right?"
  248. Apr 22 21:27:22 <Shawyun_Sariri> Scarlet chuckles. "Your friends are interesting."
  249. Apr 22 21:27:39 <Chase> "...they still haven't really gotten to be introduced to you, have they?"
  250. Apr 22 21:27:51 <Genevieve> "I don't know, can you protect the king's life and honor, Dede?" She pat-pats the Gible.
  251. Apr 22 21:28:11 <Shawyun_Sariri> She shakes her head but seems to be enjoying herself as is.
  252. Apr 22 21:28:21 <Rosetta> "...Sounds like a confusing situation to be in. I don't envy ya, cuz." Rosetta then grins teasingly and hops around Norina a bit more. She's at least saying this quietly though. "What's with the boring formal swimsuit though? Even that...you know, what Gabby got you might've been more exciting."
  253. Apr 22 21:28:22 <Saryx> "Oh!" He takes more than just a glance. "Maaan, Gen! That looks amazing~" He pulls his phone out of his cooler to snap a picture. ... Then turns over to Shawyun, waving. "... Hey, Shawyun!"
  254. Apr 22 21:28:30 <Shawyun_Sariri> The Krabby is very satisfied with the krab mansion. He pincers up. "Cookie."
  255. Apr 22 21:28:32 <Lilith> "....also, kinda feel free to apply the sunscreen on me."
  256. Apr 22 21:28:36 <Lilith> "You know."
  257. Apr 22 21:28:40 <Lilith> "Would be kinda nice." ._.
  258. Apr 22 21:28:41 <Lilith> So lonely.
  259. Apr 22 21:29:05 <Chase> "Sorry about that. I'll grab'em when we got a moment."
  260. Apr 22 21:29:12 »» Chase says to Scarlet.
  261. Apr 22 21:29:35 »» Chase just looks at Lil with some pity. No one's gonna take her up on that, are they.
  262. Apr 22 21:29:59 <Shawyun_Sariri> Annette and Miracle Eye seem intruiged by the vollyball net. Shawyun: "Don't worry biggy lils plenty of fun to go around."
  263. Apr 22 21:30:09 »» Genevieve fist bumps with Krabcakes, then looks up. "Shawyun, should I ask if you planned the matching outfits or do I not want to know?"
  264. Apr 22 21:30:21 <Chase> "Volleyball, huh? I think I've played volleyball, like, once ever."
  265. Apr 22 21:30:32 <Shawyun_Sariri> Shawyun: "I swear this is totally coincidence."
  266. Apr 22 21:30:50 <Shawyun_Sariri> Shawyun: "My honor as a Thundercock."
  267. Apr 22 21:31:03 <Chase> "Why can't I take that sentence seriously."
  268. Apr 22 21:31:15 <Lilith> "And by that he means he'll -totally- show you his Thundercock."
  269. Apr 22 21:31:19 <Lilith> "Rawr."
  270. Apr 22 21:31:23 <Shawyun_Sariri> Shawyun: "It's like a scout's honor. With thunder."
  271. Apr 22 21:31:52 <Genevieve> "Well, I really should have known, it's your color." She adjusts her stunnas. "It's easy, Chase, just don't play towards the net if Chione gets here. Rest in peace, Mitzy."
  272. Apr 22 21:31:57 <Shawyun_Sariri> Norina: "I was just sorta in a hurry I guess? Dunno is it weird?"
  273. Apr 22 21:32:30 <Saryx> Aaand Saryx just... Slowly collapses to the floor, laughing, as a result of Lil's joke. ... Damnit, Lil!
  274. Apr 22 21:33:19 <Chase> "Alright, maybe in a bit..." He's still applying sunscreen.
  275. Apr 22 21:33:20 <Shawyun_Sariri> Shawyun: "It's cool I just apprehended it from some Guidos disgracing the good sport down the beach some."
  276. Apr 22 21:33:30 <Shawyun_Sariri> Shawyun: "They called me a muff cabbage. Jerks."
  277. Apr 22 21:33:45 <Chase> "You what"
  278. Apr 22 21:33:55 <Rosetta> "Nah, just looks like you're goin' to a swim meet more than having a relaxing day at the beach is all." Rosetta continues hopping, then stops again, grinning wider. "By the way, close your eyes."
  279. Apr 22 21:34:02 <Chase> "Man, I don't even."
  280. Apr 22 21:34:03 <Lilith> "Sounds about right."
  281. Apr 22 21:34:10 <Genevieve> "He stole it. We're gonna go Bonnie and Clyde style."
  282. Apr 22 21:34:14 <Lilith> Her acceptance of this is a little worrying.
  283. Apr 22 21:34:26 <Shawyun_Sariri> Norina seems confused but does so.
  284. Apr 22 21:35:09 <Shawyun_Sariri> In the mean time Shawyun starts goofing off with Miracle Eye, Annette and Garcia on the little makeshift court.
  285. Apr 22 21:35:11 »» Rosetta briefly glances over at Saryx's uncontrollable laughter and raises an eyebrow, then returns her attention to Norina. She grabs her hands and puts them out in front of her, palms up.
  286. Apr 22 21:36:00 <Rosetta> "Careful, don't you -dare- drop this." Rosetta reaches in her bag and pulls out the egg, setting it in Norina's hands.
  287. Apr 22 21:36:05 <Saryx> "... Wait, you... You stole that net?!?" He's trying to frown, but still holding back the tail end of his laughter, so it... Doesn't quite work.
  288. Apr 22 21:36:24 <Shawyun_Sariri> Scarlet: "To be fair he said it was from guidos."
  289. Apr 22 21:36:50 <Genevieve> "They aren't even really people." Gen nods and perfects the west tower.
  290. Apr 22 21:37:02 <Chase> "Y'all gonna get a game going?"
  291. Apr 22 21:37:46 <Shawyun_Sariri> Scarlet: "Go ahead, Chase. I'm fine here."
  292. Apr 22 21:38:02 <Shawyun_Sariri> Norina opens her eyes, and before she can even say anything, it starts to wobble :O
  293. Apr 22 21:38:04 »» Genevieve stands up and grabs the sunscreen bottle from near Chase, then sits with Lil. "Sorry, Doc, our gentlemen are occupied or are Saryx. I can get you though."
  294. Apr 22 21:38:12 <Shawyun_Sariri> Hell Genevieve and Saryx's do too if they got them around.
  295. Apr 22 21:38:27 <Lilith> "Thanks, Dr. Webb. I really appreciate it."
  296. Apr 22 21:38:42 <Chase> "Heh, watch me go make a fool out of myself..." he gets up, rubbing his hands clean with a smaller towel.
  297. Apr 22 21:38:46 <Saryx> "Hey, what's that supposed to mean?!?" Saryx flares up at the attack.
  298. Apr 22 21:38:56 <Lilith> "Occupied or is Saryx. Truly the nastiest choice," she notes with a grin.
  299. Apr 22 21:39:01 »» Rosetta is startled by the movement and looks like she's braced to catch it in case it falls but then recomposes herself.
  300. Apr 22 21:39:12 <Shawyun_Sariri> Crack...crack...
  301. Apr 22 21:39:13 <Lilith> "And it totally sounds like something a doctor would tell you in a medical drama, too!"
  302. Apr 22 21:39:23 <Lilith> "I'm sorry, your child is....Saryx."
  303. Apr 22 21:39:39 <Genevieve> "Rock and a loud place." Gen nods and looks down her bag at the hatching egg. "Hold on, the miracle of childbirth is happening." She lifts the egg up and puts it on the sand.
  304. Apr 22 21:39:40 <Saryx> "Aaaaauuuuuuuuu..." Saryx just hangs his head in shame. ... And whatever's in his egg'll probably pop out of the cooler eventually.
  305. Apr 22 21:39:42 <Shawyun_Sariri> A Cotoneee pops out! Norina can hardly hold back a squeeeeee.
  306. Apr 22 21:39:49 »» Chase cracks his knuckles and heads over to the net. "Give the guy -some- break, y'all."
  307. Apr 22 21:40:08 <Lilith> "All in good fun, like I've told him before."
  308. Apr 22 21:40:09 <Chase> "Aw, shit, it's a cottonball."
  309. Apr 22 21:40:11 <Lilith> "I don't hate the dude."
  310. Apr 22 21:40:20 <Rosetta> "Yeah ,that's right, totally planned it that way. Perfect timing." Rosetta nods to herself. Yup totally planned this.
  311. Apr 22 21:40:22 <Shawyun_Sariri> From Genevieve's pops out a Cacnae! It plants itself in the sand calmly but looks up to Genevieve.
  312. Apr 22 21:40:32 »» Lilith looks up. "Oooooh."
  313. Apr 22 21:40:49 <Shawyun_Sariri> There's a flare of fire from the cooler as a fall colored Chikorita pops out!
  314. Apr 22 21:40:53 <Saryx> Saryx just... Weakly crawls over to his cooler to pull out his glassblowing kit and stuff.
  315. Apr 22 21:41:08 <Lilith> "But yeah, if I didn't like the dude, I wouldn't be poking fun."
  316. Apr 22 21:41:27 <Genevieve> "Hey little baby." Gen pets Cacnea on the least sharp part, then gets to putting lotion over Lilith's back and shoulders.
  317. Apr 22 21:41:49 <Saryx> "Whoa whoa what the hey that's gonna melt all the ice cream!" He jumps back at the burst of flame.
  318. Apr 22 21:43:00 <Rosetta> "So whatcha think, cuz?"
  319. Apr 22 21:43:04 <Shawyun_Sariri> It's not really enough to melt the ice cream, but the chikorita looks around confused.
  320. Apr 22 21:43:18 <Shawyun_Sariri> Norina sniffles. "Cuz this is the best gift ever" ;~;
  321. Apr 22 21:43:31 <Shawyun_Sariri> Norina: "I'd hug you but I'd have to put it down!"
  322. Apr 22 21:44:37 <Shawyun_Sariri> Scarlet laughs. "Adorable little guys."
  323. Apr 22 21:44:41 <Chase> "The miracle of life is really something, ain't it, y'all?"
  324. Apr 22 21:44:42 <Rosetta> "Aw." Rosetta steps forward and hugs Norina then, with the cottonball caught in the middle. "Figured you got fire and water already, so grass finishes the trio, yeah?"
  325. Apr 22 21:45:23 <Chase> "Mira! Annette! You two gonna play?" he calls over. "Need someone on my side, too..."
  326. Apr 22 21:45:33 <Lilith> "Mmmmm~"
  327. Apr 22 21:45:47 <Lilith> "So wonderful. Have you done massages before?"
  328. Apr 22 21:45:47 <Shawyun_Sariri> Norina nods! "I'll pay you back one day, promise..."
  329. Apr 22 21:45:52 <Lilith> "Because it seems like it."
  330. Apr 22 21:46:17 <Saryx> Saryx pops his head cautiously over to the Chikorita. "... Maaan, this... This thing's real cute!" He slowly reaches over to pick the Chikorita up beneath its little stubs of arms :D
  331. Apr 22 21:46:19 <Shawyun_Sariri> Annette nods! "Yeah just one more I guess..."
  332. Apr 22 21:47:33 <Rosetta> "Don't worry 'bout it, cuz!" Rosetta then hops a 180, tilts her head, then hops another 180 again. "Looks like they're settin' up volleyball there."
  333. Apr 22 21:48:05 <Genevieve> "Comes with the medical training. You can only see so many cadavers before you figure out muscle groups." Gen smooths out the lotion until its well-faded, then picks up the Cacnea and gives it a kiss on the forehead. "Sorry to keep you waiting, baby. Pancake?"
  334. Apr 22 21:48:20 <Shawyun_Sariri> Norina: "You go ahead! I think this little guy needs attention anyway. Hey there!"
  335. Apr 22 21:48:53 <Shawyun_Sariri> The chikorita rubs against you affectionately, the Vulpix looks up at its new playmate :D

  532. Apr 22 22:22:21 <Genevieve> "Chase what is it ever with us? Something weird, probably evil, and yelling."

  542. Apr 22 22:23:06 <Chase> "Hey! Saryx, you going to keep groping Dr. Vai all day or what?"

  544. Apr 22 22:23:40 »» Genevieve recalls Wheeler to give Saryx some ghost-free space.
  545. Apr 22 22:23:41 <Lilith> "On the bright side, Saryx...."

  547. Apr 22 22:24:07 <Chase> "I am so sorry." :X He says to Lilith.

  549. Apr 22 22:24:15 <Rosetta> "Does that really count?"
  550. Apr 22 22:24:17 <Lilith> "Does he usually get like this?"
  551. Apr 22 22:24:18 <Shawyun_Sariri> Norina: "What. The hell. Just happened."
  552. Apr 22 22:24:25 <Lilith> "Man, I'll just give him a pass."

  560. Apr 22 22:25:21 <Genevieve> "Everyone is alive, right? Sorry that you all had to experience a typical Braves day."
  561. Apr 22 22:25:30 <Saryx> Saryx nervously peeks out from Lilith's... Assets, to just doublecheck that. "... Oh, it's... It's gone now..." And looks down, real embarassed. "... I'm real sorry, Dr. Vai. I just..." Wait, what?!? Okay, now with the wave of side comments his face just glows waaay red. Like, Christmas ornament/Rudolph's nose type red. "Oh Bondye I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm real sorry Dr.
  562. Apr 22 22:25:31 <Saryx> Vai I..." His speech rapidly deteriorates in coherence and his volume and speed escalate equally as fast.

  568. Apr 22 22:25:56 <Saryx> And the whole of his body becomes rapidly animated as he tries to form some semblance of an apology to Lil.
  569. Apr 22 22:26:17 <Shawyun_Sariri> You got a feeling this thing could actually be friggen used for something. a Pokemon maybe.
  570. Apr 22 22:26:39 <Rosetta> "Is that really all you have to say 'bout that?"
  571. Apr 22 22:27:27 »» Lilith just places Dedekind on her lap as a temporary Saryx substitute.
  572. Apr 22 22:27:34 »» Chase knocks on the frozen ball. "...Huh, I don't think it's melting."
  573. Apr 22 22:27:42 <Chase> "Maybe this could be reused for something..."

  582. Apr 22 22:28:42 <Lilith> "Mind if I play with your guys' Pokemon for a bit? See if I can't teach them a trick or two."
  583. Apr 22 22:28:53 <Shawyun_Sariri> Garcia: "I liked his outfit~"
  584. Apr 22 22:28:55 <Lilith> "Plus I actually have the time off today for it."
  585. Apr 22 22:29:06 <Shawyun_Sariri> Genevieve, you think this ball had more to do with that attack than it did.
  586. Apr 22 22:29:08 <Lilith> "Also helps to make sure they're all okay after that."
  587. Apr 22 22:29:18 <Chase> "Oh, really? Yeah, that'd be great, actually, if you don't mind."
  588. Apr 22 22:29:50 <Genevieve> "Toss me the ball. Well, carefully. Shawyun where did you lift this from?"

  591. Apr 22 22:30:25 <Rosetta> "Sure. Hey Glissani!" Rosetta waves over at her skarmbabby. "Oh! Right, I was gonna show you guys.." She hops over to her bag and takes out another pokeball, popping it open to reveal a set of four zodiac unowns floating together in a ring formation.
  592. Apr 22 22:30:40 <Chase> "Maybe if Haydn could throw a punch as cold as that ball we'd see some shit..."
  593. Apr 22 22:31:14 <Saryx> Eventually Saryx calms down enough to get something coherent out explaining his whole 'terrified of ghosts' bit. "... That was just... Real bad, Dr. Vai... I don't think I can say enough how sorry I am about that..."
  594. Apr 22 22:31:25 »» Genevieve catchs the ball and lifts her glasses to give it a look. "This is some high grade stuff. Might have been dangerous -before- he went arctic on you guys."
  595. Apr 22 22:31:47 <Lilith> "It's fiiiiiiine, Saryx."
  596. Apr 22 22:31:54 <Lilith> "Let's just let bygones be bygones."
  597. Apr 22 22:32:04 <Lilith> "And maybe you can brag about it at home or something."
  598. Apr 22 22:32:13 <Lilith> " 'Hey, Mom, I totally groped a lady-friend!' "
  599. Apr 22 22:33:21 <Shawyun_Sariri> Miracle Eye: "...I think we should just stick to food, tobacco, and booze for a bit."
  600. Apr 22 22:33:26 <Chase> "Haydn, this lady's going to teach you a few things, arright? It'll be fun." he grins.

  602. Apr 22 22:33:35 <Shawyun_Sariri> She prods Dahlia awake, who has been boozing fairly hard.
  603. Apr 22 22:33:52 <Chase> "Yeah, let's... Why don't we settle down and have a bit of a smoke or something?"
  604. Apr 22 22:34:19 <Lilith> "Hey! Don't start that without me!"
  605. Apr 22 22:34:31 <Chase> "Sure, sure, we'll wait."
  606. Apr 22 22:34:38 <Chase> "Food, then."
  607. Apr 22 22:34:49 <Lilith> "Anyone else?"
  608. Apr 22 22:34:52 »» Rosetta trots over to Chase and pokes him, nodding her head to the side as she steps away.
  609. Apr 22 22:35:02 <Saryx> Saryx just... He raises a finger as he stammers to get a response out to Lil, and fails miserably. "... Aaaaaauuuuuuu..." He just walks off to his cooler, pulls out his glassblowing kit, and walks off a bit. "... Come on, Surt..." He... Still hasn't noticed the whole 'she evolved' bit quite yet.
  610. Apr 22 22:35:11 »» Chase starts to go for Saryx's cooler, but nods at Rosetta and walks over to join her.
  611. Apr 22 22:35:23 <Rosetta> "So uh...didya figure anythin out?"
  612. Apr 22 22:35:25 <Lilith> "Might want to congratulate your buddy there, Saryx."
  613. Apr 22 22:35:27 »» Rosetta says this quietly.
  614. Apr 22 22:37:00 <Shawyun_Sariri> Shawyun ponders over some sausage. "Actually the ball mighta not been theirs, but eh."
  615. Apr 22 22:37:04 <Saryx> Saryx weakly turns over to Lil to see just what she's commenting on, and "... Whoa! Surt, you're... When did that happen?!?" :D
  616. Apr 22 22:37:13 »» Chase looks around to make sure Garcia isn't eavesdropping, but shrugs and auras anyway, giving Rosetta a look. <I think she's more focused on Ymir than you. And not in a romantic way. I think she's trying to get closer to your cousin through you, to learn more about him? I think this might go back to that whole thing we discussed earlier.>
  617. Apr 22 22:37:54 <Chase> <I'm surprised I was able to feel any of that, really.>
  618. Apr 22 22:38:45 »» Rosetta sighs. <I don't get it. I just don't. So this is all to deal with some dude who's macking on her friend?>
  619. Apr 22 22:39:29 <Chase> <I don't know. I don't really get it, either, Rose.>
  620. Apr 22 22:40:32 <Genevieve> "Well, it's our ball now." Gen unwraps her sarong and sets it on the sand to sit on. "Sorry, Krabby, looks like your castle got sacked."
  621. Apr 22 22:40:35 <Chase> <There's something deeper here, but I can't really tell what. Just be careful, whatever you do, alright?>
  622. Apr 22 22:40:50 <Shawyun_Sariri> The Krabby has actually enlisted the baby Pokemon to help with reconstruction
  623. Apr 22 22:40:55 <Shawyun_Sariri> Scarlet is helping as well :3
  624. Apr 22 22:41:10 »» Chase smiles over at Scarlet when he notices this.
  625. Apr 22 22:41:31 <Rosetta> <I dunno what to do now then.> Rosetta also shrugs as she thinks this at Chase.
  626. Apr 22 22:41:33 <Lilith> "Ded, honey, go help the others with the castle, will you?"
  627. Apr 22 22:41:54 <Shawyun_Sariri> Dedekin nods and hurries over to help. Which is actually rather handy given his Typing.
  628. Apr 22 22:42:07 <Shawyun_Sariri> Most the others are loitering around the food. Miracle Eye is forcing Dahlia to eat something.
  629. Apr 22 22:42:25 »» Chase pats Rosetta on the shoulder. <Just hang in there. There's -someone- out there for you.>
  630. Apr 22 22:42:30 »» Genevieve releases Newton to hang out with everyone else and maybe get some more socialization training.
  631. Apr 22 22:42:32 <Shawyun_Sariri> Surt shrugs at Saryx. she dunno.
  632. Apr 22 22:43:10 <Shawyun_Sariri> Newtwon seems perplexed by king krabby's dominance but tries to play nice with all the little ones.
  633. Apr 22 22:43:24 <Rosetta> <Let's just, uh, worry 'bout this later, yeah?>
  634. Apr 22 22:43:36 <Chase> <Yeah, sure. Come on, let's go enjoy ourselves.>
  635. Apr 22 22:43:54 »» Chase heads back over. "Oh, and shit. I still don't think I've introduced y'all to Scarlet, yet."
  636. Apr 22 22:43:58 <Rosetta> <Yup. Thanks Chase.>
  637. Apr 22 22:44:02 <Chase> "Gen! Saryx!"
  638. Apr 22 22:44:46 <Saryx> "Maaan, Surt... This is... This is incredible!" He jumps at Surt, hugging her. "Come on, we gotta..." ?!? He looks over at Chase, caught mid-hug. "... Yeah, Chase?" Like a Deerling caught in headlights.
  639. Apr 22 22:45:19 <Shawyun_Sariri> Garcia is acting fairly buddy buddy to Norina, and Annette is asking Shawyun about the mask. That conversation isn't going anywhere near serious.
  640. Apr 22 22:45:23 <Chase> "Aw, don't let me interrupt y'all. Just come on over when you can, I wanted to introduce y'all to someone."
  641. Apr 22 22:46:00 »» Rosetta is following Chase back to everyone else.
  642. Apr 22 22:46:04 »» Genevieve gets up to introduce herself. "Doctor Genevieve Webb, I keep the kids from getting killed, nice to meet you."
  643. Apr 22 22:47:15 <Saryx> "One sec, Chase!" He finishes up being all buddy buddy with and congratulating Surt and everything before hopping over. "So what's up, Chase?"
  644. Apr 22 22:47:40 <Shawyun_Sariri> Surt trods over and starts making a glass image of herself from the dune. Damn she fine.
  645. Apr 22 22:49:16 »» Chase leads them over to Scarlet. "I just wanted to introduce y'all. This is Scarlet Proulx, a local breeder I met, recently. We're seeing each other now." he says, with a smile.
  646. Apr 22 22:50:30 »» Lilith wolf-whistles at Scarlet playfully from where she's standing. ;D
  647. Apr 22 22:50:30 <Shawyun_Sariri> Scarlet: "Hello. Nice to meet all of you finally."
  648. Apr 22 22:50:37 <Rosetta> "Oh! Hey, yeah I remember remarking on your status earlier today." Rosetta nod nods and waves at Scarlet, extending her hand afterwards. "Rosetta Whitacre."
  649. Apr 22 22:50:38 <Genevieve> "You know he's a bit of a Bidoof, right? Like, he's disclosed that to you?"
  650. Apr 22 22:51:53 <Shawyun_Sariri> Scarlet shakes hands with you, Rosetta. "We had a bit of an experience about that already, but I think he learned his lesson."
  651. Apr 22 22:52:24 <Saryx> "Oh! Your name's Scarlet! ... Didn't cross my mind to ask earlier, sorry." Saryx offers a handshake, too, once she's done with Razor's. "Saryx Sylvestine! Real nice to meet you, Scarlet!"
  652. Apr 22 22:52:46 <Chase> "Yeah... Awkward times..." he scratches his head a bit.
  653. Apr 22 22:54:02 <Genevieve> "Well, as long as you know what you're getting in to. Welcome to the party."
  654. Apr 22 22:56:19 <Chase> "I think it's unfair to say I'm like that -all- the time, though." he frowns. "I goof up now and then but I don't try to make a -habit- of it. I like to think I usually have my head on straight."
  655. Apr 22 22:57:02 <Shawyun_Sariri> Scarlet: "Just keep an eye on him if you ever find yourselves in Venomtalon for me," she jests and prods Chase's ribs teasingly.
  656. Apr 22 22:57:11 <Chase> "Oof."
  657. Apr 22 22:57:25 <Chase> "Right with the low blow." he laughs it off.
  658. Apr 22 22:59:24 <Chase> "Anyway, try to keep Scarlet in mind if you guys are interested in any well-bred fire types. I saw what kind of operation she runs. Soft as silk."
  659. Apr 22 23:00:42 <Shawyun_Sariri> Scarlet scoops up the icy Vulpix. "Well, I see some of you already have a some of my little ones. I'm sure you all have plenty embarassing stories about Chase already to share, but why don't we get that set up?" she nods to the bag away from the sand.
  660. Apr 22 23:01:17 <Chase> "Sure, hopefully Lil and everyone can join us."
  661. Apr 22 23:01:45 <Saryx> "Fire types, you say?" Saryx looks back over to his Chikorita. "I remember the General said he got Lysa hatched out by breeders, too. Any chance that one's your--Oh, Lysa was your work?!?" Saryx is impressed~
  662. Apr 22 23:02:13 »» Chase goes to fetch his hookah. "Yo! You ready?" he calls over to Lilith as he grabs the bag and starts to set things up well out of the sand.
  663. Apr 22 23:03:23 <Chase> Water,bowl, tobacco, grate, coals... this shit is semicomplicated isn't it.
  664. Apr 22 23:03:33 <Lilith> "Just about! I think you guys might be pleeeeeaaaased."
  665. Apr 22 23:03:44 <Shawyun_Sariri> Miracle Eye is more than happy to assist with that~ Scarlet: "Kent has some very specific needs and I found a good niche for it, I think."
  666. Apr 22 23:04:19 <Genevieve> "I think I got one of your eggs, too. Ice-typed Torchic? Well, Combusken now."
  667. Apr 22 23:05:08 »» Chase thanks Miracle Eye as she helps.
  668. Apr 22 23:05:11 <Saryx> "He seemed real eager to get all sorts of folk who were up to it in the Explorers. Guess you've got yourself plenty busy with that, don't you?" He joins Scarlet in playing around with the Vulpix.
  669. Apr 22 23:05:19 <Shawyun_Sariri> She nods. "Ice Types are normally known for their fragile nature, but genetics have a funny way of alleviating that with some creative practice."
  670. Apr 22 23:06:51 <Shawyun_Sariri> It's not terribly long before she has it set up, and starts it, handing the hose off to you, Chase. The others start to loiter around, curious.
  671. Apr 22 23:06:54 <Saryx> "Still, you normally do all sorts of work with Pokemon breeding? I think it's real cool what you do... It's not quite normal like wood carving or glass blowing, but it's a weird kind of art all the same. I can really appreciate it, Scarlet!"
  672. Apr 22 23:08:22 <Chase> "Alright, y'all ready? Gather around now! This is straight from Professor Spore, I've always been curious about his tastes. This stuff's "Visionquest Violet and DreamMint"..."
  673. Apr 22 23:08:30 <Shawyun_Sariri> Scarlet nods: "Take good care of her. She seems a bit inexperenced but should prove formidable as she grows."
  674. Apr 22 23:08:50 »» Chase has a seat and takes a draw from the hookah.
  675. Apr 22 23:09:38 <Saryx> "I sure plan to, Scarlet!" He scoops up Lysa and gives her a little belly rub before scratching behind her ears some.
  676. Apr 22 23:09:39 <Shawyun_Sariri> It's...very sweet, doesn't even feel like smoke. Lots of hints of different fruits.
  677. Apr 22 23:10:20 <Shawyun_Sariri> You don't feel much at first, though, as it starts to get passed around.
  678. Apr 22 23:11:14 <Lilith> "God, I haven't actually done this since uni."
  679. Apr 22 23:11:14 »» Genevieve sits at the hookah to take a turn.
  680. Apr 22 23:11:33 »» Lilith has her share.
  681. Apr 22 23:11:51 <Chase> "Mm, it's nice, ain't it?"
  682. Apr 22 23:12:03 <Lilith> "I dunno. I'm not getting anything yet."
  683. Apr 22 23:13:42 <Shawyun_Sariri> As it does go around, though...something slowly occurs to you. Genevieve, #visionDos , Chase here for now. peeking is fine.
  684. Apr 22 23:14:34 <Shawyun_Sariri> Those watching notice they seem to go into a trance, but continue to pass it around.
  685. Apr 22 23:14:35 <Saryx> Saryx plops the Vulpix down on the ground carefully before making his way over to the hookah. "I was always curious about this thing..." He says as he waits his turn. "Mom had one up in Darkfeather, but she always told me not to mess with it. Just figured it was 'cause hers looked real old!"
  686. Apr 22 23:14:49 <Shawyun_Sariri> Saryx stay here as well.
  687. Apr 22 23:17:23 <Shawyun_Sariri> Chase, Saryx, and Miracle Eye find themselves in purple, miasmic room with a door on the side. She's wearing a black robe with a steepled hat, the two of you have your own outfits returned.
  688. Apr 22 23:17:32 <Shawyun_Sariri> Miracle Eye: "Well. Looks like it worked."
  689. Apr 22 23:18:02 »» Lilith is now known as Break
  690. Apr 22 23:18:05 <Chase> "Enlightening, huh? I guess that's a reason it's called... vision quest." he looks around, curiously. "Oh hey, these threads again."
  691. Apr 22 23:18:27 »» Break_ is now known as Lilith
  692. Apr 22 23:19:24 <Saryx> "Oh, wow..." Saryx stares around the room. "... No wonder Mom always said not to mess around with it..." And then he looks over at Miracle. Then Chase and himself. "... And you weren't joking either earlier today, Miracle!"
  693. Apr 22 23:19:59 <Chase> "Nice outfit yourself, Miracle... now then..." He's curious to see what's behind door number one. He doesn't seem too bothered.
  694. Apr 22 23:20:20 <Shawyun_Sariri> Miracle Eye: "I've grown somewhat used to these experiences and can exert a bit of control over them. Beyond that door is one of them. I told Saryx of this, yes, but I figured an example would help."
  695. Apr 22 23:20:54 <Chase> He reaches for the doorknob.
  696. Apr 22 23:21:11 <Shawyun_Sariri> "It's about The Sirens, and fears of them. I'm not sure what to think of those beings entirely, but it's more than...well. What you saw, Saryx."
  697. Apr 22 23:21:16 <Shawyun_Sariri> Beyond the door is a beach and jungle.
  698. Apr 22 23:21:23 <Shawyun_Sariri> Very different than the one you were just on.
  699. Apr 22 23:21:26 <Chase> "The Sirens, right..."
  700. Apr 22 23:21:42 <Chase> "I... think I might have heard more about them, this morning..."
  701. Apr 22 23:22:12 <Saryx> Saryx is more surprised than anything. "... So, we're... Both experiencing this just 'cause you want us to, Miracle?... And the Sirens, you're showing us? Aaaaauuuuuu..." He groans. "I mean, I know we kind of have to, but..." Another sigh as he follows over to the door.
  702. Apr 22 23:22:17 <Genevieve> 2d6+1
  703. Apr 22 23:22:17 <DiceMaid-9001> Genevieve, 2d6+1: 11 [2d6=6,4]
  704. Apr 22 23:22:17 <Chase> He steps into the jungle, curious.
  705. Apr 22 23:22:50 <Saryx> And after Chase into the jungle.
  706. Apr 22 23:23:38 <Shawyun_Sariri> Miracle Eye follows casually. "Oh. These ones. Good example. Very well, let's go then." She follows Chase.
  707. Apr 22 23:25:33 »» Chase scans the area, curious.
  708. Apr 22 23:25:38 <Shawyun_Sariri> Roll Perception~
  709. Apr 22 23:26:14 <Saryx> 3d6+1 Can I see shit?
  710. Apr 22 23:26:14 <DiceMaid-9001> Saryx, Can I see shit?: 14 [3d6=4,6,3]
  711. Apr 22 23:26:28 <Shawyun_Sariri> Miracle Eye seems to know the way, a well traveled one at that. "Don't worry, Saryx, this is little like what you witnessed."
  712. Apr 22 23:28:34 <Saryx> "You certain about that, Miracle?" ... A stupid question. Of course it is. He just wants the affirmation as he heads onwards after her and Chase.
  713. Apr 22 23:28:41 <Shawyun_Sariri> You notice she's carefully stepping over primitive traps and such, or avoiding them entirely
  714. Apr 22 23:29:57 <Saryx> He's taking Miracle's lead and follows. "... This is just a vision, though, isn't it?" He's curious about her going out of the way to dodge the traps.
  715. Apr 22 23:30:26 <Shawyun_Sariri> She stops suddenly, and points and whispers, "Of course. Though it's probably less vivid than yours was. Look."
  716. Apr 22 23:30:37 <Saryx> "Seems a bit unusual that you're going out of your way to avoid these things if they're not real and all..."
  717. Apr 22 23:30:49 <Chase> 2d6-1
  718. Apr 22 23:30:50 <DiceMaid-9001> Chase, 2d6-1: 6 [2d6=3,4]
  719. Apr 22 23:31:10 <Saryx> And he peeks in the intended direction.
  720. Apr 22 23:31:34 <Chase> He follows Miracle, without really noticing what she's doing.
  721. Apr 22 23:31:36 <Shawyun_Sariri> You think she's pointing at a Bellossom that's near by, picking some berries.
  722. Apr 22 23:31:57 <Shawyun_Sariri> "Precaution, I guess. This'll be the telling sign."
  723. Apr 22 23:32:06 <Chase> "Hmm? A Bellossom?"
  724. Apr 22 23:32:22 <Saryx> "... It's a Pokemon, Miracle... What's so special 'bout that?"
  725. Apr 22 23:32:31 <Saryx> He's trying to keep his voice down as she started to whisper.
  726. Apr 22 23:33:20 <Shawyun_Sariri> "Look closer."
  727. Apr 22 23:33:48 »» Saryx squints at the Bellossom.
  728. Apr 22 23:34:27 <Shawyun_Sariri> It's...certainly not just a Bellossom. It has the features of one, but seems to humanoid. It's a bit unnerving once you realize that.
  729. Apr 22 23:35:27 <Chase> "...whoa."
  730. Apr 22 23:35:56 <Saryx> Blaming the farsightedness here. "... Wait, it's... It's almost human! ... I mean, I know Dr. Vai had a Pokemon that was kind of human in her house, and Hadyn's kinda like a Pokemon... But is that normal for these ones?"
  731. Apr 22 23:36:16 <Chase> "There's a difference between humanshape and... that."
  732. Apr 22 23:36:36 <Shawyun_Sariri> It finishes harvesting, and then turns, walking...well, not just past you, but right through the three of you, humming happily.
  733. Apr 22 23:36:48 <Saryx> ... Kinda like a human** (How did I goof that?!?)
  734. Apr 22 23:37:01 <Shawyun_Sariri> Miracle Eye sighs with relief. "Good. Guess this isn't potent enough to fully emerge us."
  735. Apr 22 23:37:20 <Chase> "What -was- that, Miracle Eye?"
  736. Apr 22 23:38:09 <Saryx> "Yeah..." He feels himself afterwards to just... Doublecheck what the hell just happened there. "What is that thing, then?!?"
  737. Apr 22 23:39:01 <Shawyun_Sariri> "I'm not sure myself. I've seen many variations of them in these visions, some bad, some more neutral. This one seems more neutral."
  738. Apr 22 23:39:16 <Shawyun_Sariri> "Half Pokemon, half human? They look it, but...well..."
  739. Apr 22 23:39:17 <Saryx> "... But none good?"
  740. Apr 22 23:39:26 <Shawyun_Sariri> "Their minds are completely alien. I can't make sense of it."
  741. Apr 22 23:39:57 <Shawyun_Sariri> "Can't say I've ever seen a human in these visions, or Pokemon. Who knows?"
  742. Apr 22 23:40:13 <Chase> "If the sirens are likened to mermaids because they're half-human... I wonder."
  743. Apr 22 23:41:28 <Shawyun_Sariri> Miracle Eye nods down the path. "Let's see where it leads, then?"
  744. Apr 22 23:41:39 <Chase> "Alright." he nods, too, and goes along.
  745. Apr 22 23:42:05 <Saryx> "Got it, Miracle!" Going onwards!
  746. Apr 22 23:44:38 <Shawyun_Sariri> The three of you continue on a bit, and eventually...find a small village.
  747. Apr 22 23:44:54 <Shawyun_Sariri> Lots of these creatures, lots of different traits from different Grass Types, but all oddly human-like.
  748. Apr 22 23:45:23 <Shawyun_Sariri> Small huts in the base of trees, loitering around a small courtyard where they are prepping fruits and vegitables.
  749. Apr 22 23:45:49 <Chase> "Alien or not, this is rather peaceful. Kinda nice, really."
  750. Apr 22 23:46:40 <Saryx> "Yeah! Seems they're all happy, just going about things like... Well, like people do!"
  751. Apr 22 23:47:06 <Chase> "But I'm guessing it changes when we get to the beach."
  752. Apr 22 23:48:02 <Shawyun_Sariri> As you poke around the village, you notice a statue carved in wood at the center.
  753. Apr 22 23:48:13 <Shawyun_Sariri> Two women. Humans.
  754. Apr 22 23:48:19 <Chase> "Eh, what's this?"
  755. Apr 22 23:48:23 <Shawyun_Sariri> Saryx has no idea who one of them is, but Chase does.
  756. Apr 22 23:48:24 »» Chase goes to have a look.
  757. Apr 22 23:48:59 <Shawyun_Sariri> There's a statue of Alicia and a girl that...sorta looks like Scarlet. A few who look like shamans are near it praying.
  758. Apr 22 23:49:13 <Chase> "...Alicia?!"
  759. Apr 22 23:49:33 <Chase> "They're worshipping a statue of my sister??" he saws with shock.
  760. Apr 22 23:50:12 »» Chase looks at the other statue for a moment too, with some confusion.
  761. Apr 22 23:50:25 <Chase> "...is that supposed to be Scarlet? No, not quite, is it?"
  762. Apr 22 23:50:34 <Chase> "What the hell is this...?"
  763. Apr 22 23:51:05 <Saryx> "... Wait, this statue's of your sister?!?" Saryx raises an eyebrow at the statue. "... So, there's Pokemon human mixes here on this place, worshipping a statue that looks like your sister and... Yeah, that one kinda looks like Scarlet, too... That's really weird!"
  764. Apr 22 23:51:53 <Shawyun_Sariri> Miracle Eye: "Your sister? Hrm."
  765. Apr 22 23:52:00 <Shawyun_Sariri> Miracle Eye: "That's sorta funny."
  766. Apr 22 23:52:19 <Shawyun_Sariri> Miracle Eye: "I've seen that statue a lot around these creatures, the peaceful ones."
  767. Apr 22 23:54:13 »» Chase turns to Miracle Eye and Saryx. "My sister disappeared on the last mission of the Conscripted ship, the Lady in Black. I found S-... One of the last survivors and spoke with her. She said that the Lady was taken under by what she described as mermaids. My sis, she ended up on an escape boat, trying to get away... and the person I talked to fell overboard, ending up washing
  768. Apr 22 23:54:13 »» Chase up in safe territory later. We don't know if my sister was alive or not. ...But if this isn't my subconscious influencing the vision or something... it means something, doesn't it? My sister, she's alive! Or... was alive long enough to be deified by these people..." he's almost in a state of shock, but can't help but babble despite himself.
  769. Apr 22 23:55:21 <Chase> "I gotta find out more about this..."
  770. Apr 22 23:55:35 <Shawyun_Sariri> Miracle Eye nods. "It's weird. I know. But I'm not sure I know much more than you do."
  771. Apr 22 23:55:50 <Shawyun_Sariri> Miracle Eye "I just honestly don't think these things were native to our planet based on how they think."
  772. Apr 22 23:55:55 <Shawyun_Sariri> "Not like a Pokemon or human."
  773. Apr 22 23:56:02 <Chase> "I think... I might have an idea where this is. ...Maybe. I'll have to do some research."
  774. Apr 22 23:56:20 <Chase> "But... what, actual aliens? Or beings from another dimension?"
  775. Apr 22 23:56:45 <Chase> "Something like that?"
  776. Apr 22 23:57:03 <Shawyun_Sariri> "I'm not sure, honestly."
  777. Apr 22 23:57:08 <Shawyun_Sariri> "Should we return to the beach?"
  778. Apr 22 23:57:36 <Chase> "Yeah." he nods.
  779. Apr 22 23:57:47 <Chase> "I want to see if this is the place..."
  780. Apr 22 23:58:13 <Chase> "Jesus..."
  781. Apr 22 23:58:24 »» Chase moves closer to the statue a moment, staring at it.
  782. Apr 22 23:58:28 <Chase> "...Sis..."
  783. Apr 22 23:59:12 <Chase> "...I'm coming to find you." he says quietly, before turning back and jogging back over to Miracle Eye.
  784. Apr 22 23:59:46 <Saryx> "If these creatures know about your sister, then..." Saryx doesn't really have much heads-or-tails on the whole sister thing, but he's just... trying to be encouraging here. "... Then I'm sure she's still around! If she lived long enough to fight those things off, she's gotta be real strong! She was an Explorer just like us, Chase! And a more experienced one, too! She's gotta
  785. Apr 22 23:59:47 <Saryx> be fine! ... And if you got a clue where this is, well... The sooner we find it, the sooner we can bring her back home, right, Chase?!?" :D
  786. Apr 23 00:00:57 <Chase> "Not an Explorer." he corrects. "One of the Conscripted."
  787. Apr 23 00:01:16 <Chase> "Still, you're right... she was capable of handling herself."
  788. Apr 23 00:01:26 <Shawyun_Sariri> Miracle eye starts back toward the beach. "Might be. We'll see."
  789. Apr 23 00:01:32 »» Chase follows along.
  790. Apr 23 00:02:17 <Saryx> The smile flatlines. "... Maaan, Chase! Did you really need to call me out on goofing that one up?!?" He runs after.
  791. Apr 23 00:02:30 <Saryx> "That wasn't even the point I was getting at there!"
  792. Apr 23 00:03:59 <Chase> "Aw, come on, Saryx, don't be upset, man!"
  793. Apr 23 00:04:14 <Chase> "I just like making sure people got the facts."
  794. Apr 23 00:05:14 <Chase> He puts an arm around, Saryx, suddenly in a much better mood. "Come on, buddy, let's get to the bottom of this vision thing and not worry about stuff like that."
  795. Apr 23 00:05:29 <Shawyun_Sariri> Miracle Eye chuckles. "Isn't that much a difference, they just steal stuff, don't get badges."
  796. Apr 23 00:08:05 <Saryx> This last bit, even before Chase wraps an arm around him, only comes out as a joking mad. "I mean, I was giving a reassuring speech and everything, and the first thing you bothered to notice was that I goofed something real small up real bad!" He throws an arm up himself, struggling to get it around Chase. Damned tall people!
  797. Apr 23 00:08:19 <Shawyun_Sariri> Out by the beach...
  798. Apr 23 00:08:24 <Shawyun_Sariri> there's...a lot of washed up ships here...
  799. Apr 23 00:08:29 <Shawyun_Sariri> all sizes, and makes.
  800. Apr 23 00:08:50 <Shawyun_Sariri> Miracle Eye whistles. "Yup. Looks pretty apocalyptic."
  801. Apr 23 00:09:39 <Chase> "...hm?" he lets go of Saryx to take a closer look.
  802. Apr 23 00:10:04 <Chase> "Ships..."
  803. Apr 23 00:10:44 »» Chase looks around, there's one in particular he's hoping to spot, otherwise any other interesting sights.
  804. Apr 23 00:10:55 <Saryx> "A whole lot of 'em, too..." He starts walking around the place, not quite sure what he's looking for in particular.
  805. Apr 23 00:12:21 <Shawyun_Sariri> Roll me Perception you two!
  806. Apr 23 00:12:28 <Saryx> 3d6+1
  807. Apr 23 00:12:29 <DiceMaid-9001> Saryx, 3d6+1: 12 [3d6=4,6,1]
  808. Apr 23 00:12:52 <Chase> 2d6-1 Spending my last AP to try and not suck as much.
  809. Apr 23 00:12:52 <DiceMaid-9001> Chase, Spending my last AP to try and not suck as much.: 9 [2d6=5,5]
  810. Apr 23 00:14:22 <Shawyun_Sariri> These boats seem long looted and deserted, you don't find any signs of life either.
  811. Apr 23 00:14:46 <Shawyun_Sariri> Though as you do walk down the beach side...well, Chase, one of them does look familiar from that picture.
  812. Apr 23 00:15:54 »» Chase is quiet as he approaches to get a view of the ship's name, if it's on the side.
  813. Apr 23 00:16:18 <Saryx> "Seems someone's gone and cleaned house here! All these boats have been empty for a long while!" ... Any amount of time associated with 'long looted'?
  814. Apr 23 00:18:29 <Shawyun_Sariri> It's...faded but you can barely make out the letters
  815. Apr 23 00:18:55 <Shawyun_Sariri> 'The Lady in Black'
  816. Apr 23 00:19:07 <Shawyun_Sariri> hard to say, Saryx
  817. Apr 23 00:19:12 <Shawyun_Sariri> these have been here...a good while you'd say
  818. Apr 23 00:20:12 <Chase> "Dragged down to the deep, now may its crew rest in peace... the Lady in Black." he says, quietly. "Miracle, you said... apocolyptic, didn't you? Do you have more of an idea about this vision?"
  819. Apr 23 00:21:55 <Chase> "This ship was supposedly dragged under the waves by 'mermaids'... This has got to be close.. This may even be it, the island on the cube..."
  820. Apr 23 00:22:37 <Shawyun_Sariri> Miracle Eye shrugs. "Can't say when we're not near a city."
  821. Apr 23 00:22:48 <Shawyun_Sariri> "A lot of them look like what Saryx saw though. What's this about a cube?"
  822. Apr 23 00:23:04 <Chase> "Alright, let me back up a bit."
  823. Apr 23 00:24:37 »» Chase begins to explain the whole story he heard from Gabriela, minus revealing her actual identity since he's unsure she would want that. The whole bit about the Sundown Corsairs being sent to investigate an unid'd landmass south of Red Blade, finding an island on a giant cube, the attack by mermaids, the attempted escape, and how only two people were found to have survived.
  824. Apr 23 00:25:24 <Chase> "I found all of this out in the process of looking for my sister, uncovering an insurance scam and all that with the help of the One N'Only."
  825. Apr 23 00:25:55 <Chase> "...something doesn't feel right, though, I feel like I heard about this before..."
  826. Apr 23 00:26:29 »» Chase suddenly blinks. "...I gotta talk to Kent."
  827. Apr 23 00:27:01 <Shawyun_Sariri> Miracle Eye hrrms, starts wading into the water.
  828. Apr 23 00:27:21 <Chase> "Hey, where you going?"
  829. Apr 23 00:27:26 »» Chase goes to follow.
  830. Apr 23 00:28:53 <Saryx> "So you're thinking this place is the same one?" Saryx calls out from atop one of the wrecks. "... Sounds about right, what with your sister's statue here..." He makes his way down. "Where are you headed out now, Miracle?"
  831. Apr 23 00:29:42 <Shawyun_Sariri> She starts hopping a bit off the shore. "No sand. Stone."
  832. Apr 23 00:29:43 <Shawyun_Sariri> "Weird."
  833. Apr 23 00:30:04 <Chase> "...Stone? That's right, the cube was supposedly made of stone."
  834. Apr 23 00:31:05 <Chase> "Yeaaah, I got a really bad feeling about this... I'm pretty sure this is within spitting distance of my sis's final expedition."
  835. Apr 23 00:32:07 <Chase> "...And that first day we walked in to visit General Myres, he was trying to get the Bastards to investigate something south of town that was making ships vanish without a trace."
  836. Apr 23 00:32:54 <Chase> "Well, look around."
  837. Apr 23 00:32:55 <Shawyun_Sariri> Miracle Eye: "Never asked them how that went, eh? Hm."
  838. Apr 23 00:33:01 »» Chase gestures an arm.
  839. Apr 23 00:34:24 <Chase> "...Yeah, I need to."
  840. Apr 23 00:34:37 <Chase> "I didn't think it was any of my business at the time, surprised I ever remembered it."
  841. Apr 23 00:35:24 <Chase> "Miracle, thank you. You're one hell of an oracle, for sure."
  842. Apr 23 00:37:09 <Shawyun_Sariri> "It's just what I do. I don't have all the answers, but I can show the way."
  843. Apr 23 00:37:16 <Shawyun_Sariri> The vision starts to fade. "Seems the buzz is wearing out."
  844. Apr 23 00:37:47 <Saryx> "Well, she did study with the best, Chase!" Sure her ego wouldn't mind some inflating.
  845. Apr 23 00:38:15 »» Chase nods. "Looks like we're about to hit reality again..."
  846. Apr 23 00:39:34 <Saryx> "Is this at least gonna be a smooth transition back, Miracle?"
  847. Apr 23 00:42:38 <Shawyun_Sariri> You ask that as you're actually
  848. Apr 23 00:42:38 <Shawyun_Sariri> well
  849. Apr 23 00:42:40 <Shawyun_Sariri> back around the hookah
  850. Apr 23 00:42:43 <Shawyun_Sariri> the others still seem out of it
  851. Apr 23 00:42:52 <Shawyun_Sariri> Lilith, Scarlet and Garcia are awaking, though
  852. Apr 23 00:43:45 <Saryx> "... Guess that answers that..." He comments to himself as he comes back to. Blink blink.
  853. Apr 23 00:44:05 <Shawyun_Sariri> Scarlet rubs her face. "...I think I missed a memo on something...big."
  854. Apr 23 00:44:41 <Chase> "Y'all didn't have some really important dream vision?" he asks them.
  855. Apr 23 00:45:30 <Lilith> "Oh, but we did."
  856. Apr 23 00:45:32 <Lilith> "I think."
  857. Apr 23 00:45:46 <Lilith> "If Grant talking to Uxie is big. Up to you if that's the case."
  858. Apr 23 00:46:02 <Chase> "Oh, goddammit. Njord?"
  859. Apr 23 00:46:15 <Lilith> "It was, like....."
  860. Apr 23 00:46:21 »» Lilith sighs, and hugs Dedekind.
  861. Apr 23 00:46:29 <Lilith> She's clearly uncomfortable talking about this.
  862. Apr 23 00:46:29 <Saryx> "... Wait, you guys had a vision as a group, too? I thought that just happened with us because Miracle... Wait, you guys saw grant talking to Njord?!?!
  863. Apr 23 00:46:49 <Saryx> ... Wait...
  864. Apr 23 00:46:49 <Chase> "I guess that's how it is with this visionquest stuff. You just want to have a nice, pleasant smoke, and you end up finding secrets that have everything to do with everything. Enlightening."
  865. Apr 23 00:47:11 <Lilith> "Two kids and Mewtwos were escorting it. They all had Unown tattoos."
  866. Apr 23 00:47:19 <Chase> "...shiiiit."
  867. Apr 23 00:47:44 <Lilith> "So Njord talks to Grant on the top deck of a ship, right?"
  868. Apr 23 00:47:51 <Lilith> "Complements him on his well-thought out plan."
  869. Apr 23 00:48:23 <Lilith> "But he's still very distrusting of Grant. I mean, a dude like that's shady as hell."
  870. Apr 23 00:48:52 <Lilith> "Grant.....well, he knows he's kind of a dick about how he's going through this business with the Rune Masters."
  871. Apr 23 00:49:01 <Lilith> "But he think it's nothing less than necessary."
  872. Apr 23 00:49:20 <Lilith> "But it's more than taking over the world."

  874. Apr 23 00:49:50 <Lilith> "He wants to make things -right- somehow. Hell if I know what that means, but....he needs The Devourer to do it."
  875. Apr 23 00:49:57 <Chase> "Let's save the explanations for when everyone's awake, I think."
  876. Apr 23 00:50:05 »» Lilith seems distraught, and holds Dedekind closer.
  877. Apr 23 00:50:19 <Chase> "Just... chill for a moment. I think we all got things to share."
  878. Apr 23 00:50:43 »» Genevieve rubs her eyes. "Bondye, magic smoke, ugh." She fumbles for her phone in her bag.
  879. Apr 23 00:51:02 <Saryx> "Yeah, I... Think it might be real good if you just hold out there a second. You're really not looking all too good over there, Dr. Vai!"
  880. Apr 23 00:51:09 <Lilith> "How am I supposed to relax when you see things like this?"
  881. Apr 23 00:51:19 <Lilith> This is the worst trip.
  882. Apr 23 00:51:47 »» Chase tries a comforting hand on Lil's shoulder. "...Sorry." is all he can offer.
  883. Apr 23 00:52:02 <Shawyun_Sariri> Annette at once is making frantic notes. Shawyun just...shakes his head in a 'never again' way.
  884. Apr 23 00:52:12 <Shawyun_Sariri> Scarlet is absorbing as much as she can of this. Garcia gives no shits.
  885. Apr 23 00:52:18 »» Lilith takes off her shades. The look in her eyes makes it clear she's seen some shit.
  886. Apr 23 00:52:32 <Genevieve> "The typical Braves day continues."
  887. Apr 23 00:52:33 <Saryx> "Idunno, just, ummm..." Saryx thinks on this a moment. Then he looks over to Lysa and the Chikorita and whistles. Points to Lil. "Playtime's moved over there, Lysa!" He points at Lil.
  888. Apr 23 00:52:55 <Lilith> "Look, they need the Devourer because they need a single authority."
  889. Apr 23 00:53:16 <Lilith> "no questions about their message. No conflicts."
  890. Apr 23 00:53:21 <Lilith> "Just absolute unity."

  894. Apr 23 00:54:09 <Lilith> "no way into the right realm, and no way to get a good start on that."
  895. Apr 23 00:54:15 <Lilith> "So Grant asked Njord for help."
  896. Apr 23 00:54:23 <Chase> "That whole prophecy business."
  897. Apr 23 00:54:26 <Genevieve> "Wait...Devourer, not Everhungry?"
  898. Apr 23 00:54:32 <Lilith> "There was just one main thorn in their shoulder."
  899. Apr 23 00:54:44 <Lilith> "The last Writer's Guild member."
  900. Apr 23 00:54:58 <Genevieve> "Yeah, she's guarding it."
  901. Apr 23 00:55:10 <Lilith> "One of many enemies they had to deal with, but this was what really worried them."
  902. Apr 23 00:55:34 <Lilith> "So Njord admits....."
  903. Apr 23 00:55:40 »» Lilith breathes.
  904. Apr 23 00:55:54 <Lilith> "Njord admits he has a point. But there's not much they can do until they find the young Goddess."
  905. Apr 23 00:56:13 <Chase> "Not happening."
  906. Apr 23 00:56:21 <Chase> "No way, no how."
  907. Apr 23 00:56:49 <Lilith> "And well."
  908. Apr 23 00:57:02 <Lilith> "This wasn't just a normal ship."
  909. Apr 23 00:57:07 <Lilith> "This was the deck of a battleship."

  911. Apr 23 00:57:31 <Lilith> "Sons of Grant. Pygmies. Criminals. All of those types just everywhere, living on this battleship."
  912. Apr 23 00:57:36 <Lilith> "all of them with modern weapons."
  913. Apr 23 00:57:47 <Lilith> "That's what he's got. That's how he's armed."
  914. Apr 23 00:57:57 <Genevieve> "And Njord, who may or may not defend him."
  915. Apr 23 00:58:12 <Lilith> "That's probably his base, too, and it was -huge-."
  916. Apr 23 00:58:23 <Lilith> "Not evne the size of the ship, but just how many that were there, too...."
  917. Apr 23 00:58:51 »» Lilith looks down at Ded. "Sorry, hon. Mommy doesn't want to worry you, honest."
  918. Apr 23 00:58:57 <Saryx> "... So they're really out to start up a whole big war for what he wants..."
  919. Apr 23 00:58:59 »» Chase catches Rosetta up on the events Lil has been giving.
  920. Apr 23 00:59:40 »» Rosetta shakes her head as she comes to. "So I think Dahlia and I just got recruited by the Keeper's Cult."
  921. Apr 23 01:00:03 <Genevieve> "Good. That's been on the list for awhile."
  922. Apr 23 01:00:23 <Rosetta> "Please tell me everyone else had trippy fun surreal totally-not-about-our-missions vision quests?"
  923. Apr 23 01:00:28 <~zoofman> Dahlia promptly picks herself up, stretches, and starts off. "Gonna look into some stuff. I'll have Mir fill me in later."
  924. Apr 23 01:00:39 »» Rosetta looks at everyone's faces. "...Guess not."
  925. Apr 23 01:00:41 <Lilith> "Wasn't fun. Wasn't happy."
  926. Apr 23 01:00:49 »» Lilith also kicks Garcia for some reason.
  927. Apr 23 01:00:58 <~zoofman> Garcia: "Aaaaah~"
  928. Apr 23 01:01:03 <Lilith> "That's for not listening and being silly."
  929. Apr 23 01:01:07 <~zoofman> Norina sits silently and cuddles the fluffball.
  930. Apr 23 01:01:11 <Genevieve> "I think one, possible two, partial clones of me are living under Thundercry. Or that I'm the clone."
  931. Apr 23 01:01:24 <Genevieve> "So fun is not a word I would pick."
  932. Apr 23 01:01:31 <Chase> "Saryx and I saw the landmass south of Red Blade where ships have been vanishing. Tribes of half-human, half-pokemon people. My sister's ship, and a statue of her that the tribe was worshipping. ...I don't know how all this is related, but..."
  933. Apr 23 01:02:02 «--- Shawyun_Sariri (zoofmaximu@sux-F0B768DA.hsd1.pa.comcast.net) has Quit (Ping timeout)
  934. Apr 23 01:02:15 <Genevieve> "Oh, and robots were worshipping a statue of me. Or someone who looks just like me, now that there are upwards of three of me."
  935. Apr 23 01:02:59 <~zoofman> Miracle Eye is still smoking quietly, looking around. "Seems we've a lot of matters on hand for now, hrm."
  936. Apr 23 01:03:01 »» Rosetta groans and turns to Norina. "Pinch me. Or punch me. Whichever. This is still a dream vision quest thing, right? This didn't all suddenly turn even more cuckoo?"
  937. Apr 23 01:03:09 <Chase> "Shit. You know, I hadn't really thought about it, human clones? Like... you're saying some kind of "Gentwo" is out there?"
  938. Apr 23 01:03:29 <Chase> "Holy shit."
  939. Apr 23 01:03:42 <~zoofman> Scarlet finally sighs, and taps chase on the shoulder. "Think we could talk in private real quick?"
  940. Apr 23 01:03:58 <Genevieve> "Maybe. But I know where they are, so as soon as we get to Thundercry we can deal with it."
  941. Apr 23 01:03:58 <Chase> "...Scarlet? Yeah, sure."
  942. Apr 23 01:04:04 »» Chase stands up and joins her.
  943. Apr 23 01:04:09 »» Saryx looks Gen straight in the face, lowering his glasses to make eye contact. "... You saw what, Gen?!?"
  944. Apr 23 01:04:34 <~zoofman> Garcia giggles and kicks Lil back for some reason.
  945. Apr 23 01:04:44 <~zoofman> The two of them walk away for a bit.
  946. Apr 23 01:05:02 <Genevieve> "A bunch of broken down robots worshipping a statue of me as an archangel, then doing production work, and an eight year old who looks at least half like me and a picture of someone even closer."
  947. Apr 23 01:06:13 »» DRAGON_FIGHTER is now known as Aori_Radidjiu
  948. Apr 23 01:06:35 <Genevieve> "But, like I said. I know where they are." She punches out a text to Chione. [That drill needs to work when I get home.]
  949. Apr 23 01:07:19 <Rosetta> "So you have clones. Who have a robot army. That worship you as a god."
  950. Apr 23 01:07:32 »» Rosetta says this in a complete deadpan.
  951. Apr 23 01:07:47 <Genevieve> "No, they have a robot work force that is on its last legs. They aren't equipped for combat, they were making toys."
  952. Apr 23 01:08:12 <Rosetta> "Your clones are Santa Claus."
  953. Apr 23 01:08:23 »» Genevieve shrugs.
  954. Apr 23 01:08:24 <Saryx> "... When you put it like that, it doesn't sound scary so much as it does kind of cute... But still, what?!?"
  955. Apr 23 01:08:25 <Rosetta> "Am I getting this right."
  956. Apr 23 01:09:18 »» Saryx re-adjusts his glasses back on his face proper following the shout.
  957. Apr 23 01:09:34 »» Rosetta as usual leans away from shouting Saryx.
  958. Apr 23 01:09:36 <~zoofman> Shawyun: "...Santa?"
  959. Apr 23 01:10:00 <~zoofman> [I'll work first ask why later then!] @ Gen's text response
  960. Apr 23 01:11:38 <Genevieve> "I don't really want to get into it. Things have gotten way too complicated for me today." She gets up and walks away from the hookah, then scoops Newton up to squeeze him.
  961. Apr 23 01:12:22 <Rosetta> "Why can't we have a normal beach party?!"
  962. Apr 23 01:12:24 <~zoofman> Miracle Eye: "Yeah I'm not seeing the santa thing."
  963. Apr 23 01:12:44 <~zoofman> Garcia: "But normal is sobooooorrrrriiiiiiing!"
  964. Apr 23 01:14:43 <Rosetta> "Think of the robots as the elves making toys, and...you know, nevermind." Rosetta sighs.
  965. Apr 23 01:15:37 »» Lilith sighs, and makes herself a breakfast burrito.
  966. Apr 23 01:16:02 <Lilith> "I'm starting to remember why I stopped doing a lot of thing at uni."
  967. Apr 23 01:16:07 <Lilith> things*
  968. Apr 23 01:16:13 <Lilith> "Things like using a hookah."
  969. Apr 23 01:16:34 »» Saryx patpats Lil.
  970. Apr 23 01:17:10 <~zoofman> Miracle Eye: "I'mmm thinking we could all use some time to digest this and plan a bit further."
  971. Apr 23 01:17:54 <Rosetta> "So," Rosetta starts puting together a breakfast taco as well, "everyone got ominous visions or experiences, huh? Maybe we'll have better luck with the other tobaccos later?"
  972. Apr 23 01:17:59 <Saryx> "It's okay, Dr. Vai. ... I think we just... Didn't pick the most fun one is all. Maybe next time it won't be so bad."
  973. Apr 23 01:18:05 <Lilith> "Maybe."
  974. Apr 23 01:18:11 <Lilith> "What else does he have?"
  975. Apr 23 01:19:06 <~zoofman> "I think the fun one is the Lily one."
  976. Apr 23 01:19:09 <Saryx> "Did Chase leave either of the other packs out?" He looks over to the hookah to check thataway.
  977. Apr 23 01:19:20 <~zoofman> "-I- find the rose one hilarious, but maybe not others."
  978. Apr 23 01:19:21 <Rosetta> "Is that the luck one? I suggested the luck one."
  979. Apr 23 01:19:28 <~zoofman> "But...certainly not now, no."
  980. Apr 23 01:19:58 <Rosetta> "Given last night, I don't think the rose one is a good idea."
  981. Apr 23 01:20:00 <~zoofman> She slowly stands. "Well, can you say this was truely regrettable? A lot of insight was gained here today."
  982. Apr 23 01:21:04 »» Rosetta takes a bite from her breakfast taco, chews, and swallows. "...Hey Garcia. Not to rush of course, but do ya know when you'll have that scarf done? Not that we have a boat to leave the island yet, but I figure I should plan on being around still at least whenever you finish that."
  983. Apr 23 01:21:24 »» Genevieve kneels down to the king Krabby. "I'd offer to take you with me, but I'm starting to think you'd be safer out here, Krabcakes, so I won't press it."
  984. Apr 23 01:22:17 <Saryx> "Not really! ... Think we'll just have to try and make next time even better if it didn't work out as well as everyone wanted it this time! ... We can do that much, right?!?"
  985. Apr 23 01:22:27 <~zoofman> Annette stands as well, looking to Genevieve. "Um. I don't know how much help I could be at the moment, but...I'll try looking into some things as well. If you don't mind."
  986. Apr 23 01:22:43 <~zoofman> The Krabking stands vigilant on his fort. He salutes you. "Cookie."
  987. Apr 23 01:23:01 <Genevieve> "Please, go right ahead, Annette. Whatever you think you should."
  988. Apr 23 01:23:40 <~zoofman> Annette nods, and looks to Rosetta and waves goodbye.
  989. Apr 23 01:23:49 »» Chase eventually walks back to the group, holding Scarlet's hand.
  990. Apr 23 01:24:01 <Rosetta> "See ya Annette." Rosetta waves after her.
  991. Apr 23 01:24:11 <~zoofman> Garcia: "Ummm....haven't started yet...and the arena stuff...thursday?"
  992. Apr 23 01:25:00 <Lilith> "I dunno, Krabs. You might be okay with me if you want."
  993. Apr 23 01:25:01 <Rosetta> "Oh, shiny. I was gonna hit the arena sometime myself if there was a good chance. Money for a boat..."
  994. Apr 23 01:25:06 <Lilith> "Plus you'll get to see her often."
  995. Apr 23 01:25:12 <Lilith> "I live by the beach, anyway."
  996. Apr 23 01:25:13 <Chase> "Did I hear something about the arena?" he calls over.
  997. Apr 23 01:25:32 <~zoofman> The Krabby shakes his head, and looks seaward.
  998. Apr 23 01:25:37 <~zoofman> He points, "Cookie."
  999. Apr 23 01:25:46 <~zoofman> Shawyun squints at the crab.
  1000. Apr 23 01:25:59 »» Genevieve recalls Newton and stands next to Shawyun. "I was totally going to torture you today, but I'm not feeling it anymore, so..."
  1001. Apr 23 01:26:19 <~zoofman> "He says he must vanquish the villian who wrecked his most glorious castle."
  1002. Apr 23 01:27:10 <Rosetta> "Yup Chase, we all need a bit more cash for a boat, yeah?"
  1003. Apr 23 01:27:17 <Chase> "True, that."
  1004. Apr 23 01:27:29 <~zoofman> "Only then will he find it right to consider such bonds."
  1005. Apr 23 01:27:38 <Lilith> "You sure? That dude's an -asshole-. You need all the help you can get."
  1006. Apr 23 01:27:49 <Chase> "I got 5k to put up, but more couldn't help."
  1007. Apr 23 01:28:23 <~zoofman> "He shall assemble the knights of the Krabb-I'm sorry I can't go on this Krabby is something else though. Heh."
  1008. Apr 23 01:28:32 <Chase> "Especially if we want to afford something sweet like the King Kong Hella Fly Sound System"
  1009. Apr 23 01:28:53 <~zoofman> He looks to Genevieve. "Eh. Wouldn't mind if you did, you've had a rough day." He hugs her.
  1010. Apr 23 01:28:55 <Lilith> "That is the kind of name worth punching someone over."
  1011. Apr 23 01:29:12 <Rosetta> "I just want a rock wall on our boat."
  1012. Apr 23 01:30:04 »» Genevieve hugs Shawyun back. "You should get me some gelato."
  1013. Apr 23 01:30:04 <Saryx> "You guys already thinking about expansions and upgrades for the boat?!?" Saryx sadfaces. "... I'm still falling behind some on getting money back to my folks. ... And I still owe Gen a little bit, too, from the Skillet we pooled our money for!"
  1014. Apr 23 01:30:43 <Chase> "Whoa, you send that much back to your folks? Bet they're doing well."
  1015. Apr 23 01:31:51 <~zoofman> Shawyun: "As much as you want! C'mon, let's try to find a place not packed with guidos."
  1016. Apr 23 01:32:26 <~zoofman> Scarlet: "I imagine you could easily aquire the funds during the upcoming week."
  1017. Apr 23 01:32:35 <Lilith> "Anyway, uh."
  1018. Apr 23 01:32:37 <~zoofman> Scarlet: "The events...are very well rewarding."
  1019. Apr 23 01:32:39 <Rosetta> "Hey Garcia, you all do a bunch of the arena stuff, yeah? What do you recommend?"
  1020. Apr 23 01:32:42 <Chase> "Yeah, gym battle, check out what kind of events are up..."
  1021. Apr 23 01:32:43 <Lilith> "All of you who met up for playtime."
  1022. Apr 23 01:32:52 <Lilith> "When you get the chance, ask your buddies what they learned today."
  1023. Apr 23 01:32:55 <Lilith> "You might like it."
  1024. Apr 23 01:33:01 <Chase> "You said Contests were starting soon too."
  1025. Apr 23 01:33:08 <Chase> "They're not -all- Cute type are they?"
  1026. Apr 23 01:33:28 <Saryx> "Hopefully they're doing better than they were before... But yeah, I've been trying to send half of everything back to Mom and Dad! It's... It's been real hard, though, trying to get all the stuff for the alchemy and everything. 's why I hadn't even gotten around to forging my own weapon yet!"
  1027. Apr 23 01:34:22 »» Genevieve gathers up her stuff and takes Shawyun's hand. "Let's go. I'm off to eat my feelings and Shawyun's money, everyone. We'll talk later."
  1028. Apr 23 01:34:39 »» Lilith waves to Gen. "See you, Dr. Webb."
  1029. Apr 23 01:34:50 <Lilith> "We need to hang out more often!"
  1030. Apr 23 01:34:53 <Chase> "Not that I mind, really, but if I were to try my hand at that it'd have to be Elise, I think..."
  1031. Apr 23 01:35:08 <~zoofman> Garcia: "Who does -typed- contests anyway?"
  1032. Apr 23 01:35:12 <~zoofman> Garcia: "Booooring."
  1033. Apr 23 01:35:36 <~zoofman> She gets up, and hops around Rosetta some. "Sorry we couldn't talk more today~" Before skipping off on her own.
  1034. Apr 23 01:35:58 <Lilith> "YOU STILL OWE ME TICKETS"
  1035. Apr 23 01:36:14 <Rosetta> "Yeah. See ya." Rosetta looks to Chase again as Garcia leaves and shrugs.
  1036. Apr 23 01:36:14 <Chase> "Oh god, those two."
  1037. Apr 23 01:36:25 »» Chase shrugs back at Rose.
  1038. Apr 23 01:36:28 <Saryx> "Later, Gen! ... Oh, and, Shawyun!" He calls out to the giant before he disappears. "We still need to talk! Lemme know how much you can get out of Thomas about later today, though, alright?!?"
  1039. Apr 23 01:37:10 <~zoofman> Shawyun shrugs, not quite sure what you mean!
  1040. Apr 23 01:38:15 »» Saryx just sighs. Damnit, Shawyun, you big idiot!
  1041. Apr 23 01:38:15 <Chase> "Mm, looks like everyone's going home..."
  1042. Apr 23 01:38:34 <~zoofman> Norina slowly stands too, still hugging the Cottonee. "Cuz. I'm jealous but can't really be -upset- after today. Was fun though."
  1043. Apr 23 01:39:14 <Rosetta> "I'd -hope- you're not upset 'cause of that. It's...not really your fault or mine that they can't take ya right now, yeah?"
  1044. Apr 23 01:40:21 »» Rosetta sighs and jokes. "If it makes you feel better, imagine beating the shit out of me again when we come by for the gym challenge."
  1045. Apr 23 01:41:02 »» zoofman has changed the topic to: +3 Trainer Exp and the 200 from Frosslad! More to come next week as you bash things up in places!
  1046. Apr 23 01:41:24 <~zoofman> She nods. "Yeah uh..."
  1047. Apr 23 01:41:33 <~zoofman> "...Well good luck, I guess with that." She chuckles.
  1048. Apr 23 01:42:32 <Rosetta> "Thanks."
  1049. Apr 23 01:43:14 <~zoofman> She bounces off her own way, leaving just you three and Scarlet. Miracle Eye shuffled off with Annette.
  1050. Apr 23 01:43:23 <Chase> "Sorry, Scarlet, guess today was kind of a bust, huh?" he says. "Dickass ghosts and weird dreamvisions all around... I gotta show you a better time than that. I know you're busy though, so just gimme a call or a private message, lemme know when you're free." he smiles.
  1051. Apr 23 01:44:02 <~zoofman> Scarlet looks over to the other two. "It's fine. I think I've been sort of waiting for something like this to happen, anyway."
  1052. Apr 23 01:44:43 »» Genevieve is now known as Domovoi
  1053. Apr 23 01:44:48 »» Rosetta tilts her head, not sure what Scarlet means by that as she looks over.
  1054. Apr 23 01:45:30 <Saryx> Yeah, Saryx is interning with Rosetta in the birdbrained department for a moment there, too.
  1055. Apr 23 01:46:14 <~zoofman> She collects her things, but says to Rosetta before she leaves. "...Well I guess you could tell them but I don't think anyone really needs more surprises for today."
  1056. Apr 23 01:46:48 <Chase> "Uh-huh. I'd offer to walk you home, but I think we all need a bit of time to think about things..."
  1057. Apr 23 01:46:49 <Saryx> ... Could I roll Intuition perhaps to make heads or tails of that, by any chance?
  1058. Apr 23 01:47:13 <~zoofman> She kisses Chase on the cheek and heads off her way. "Mhm. I'll be around when you need me."
  1059. Apr 23 01:47:30 <~zoofman> It's not really something you could tell with Intuition.
  1060. Apr 23 01:47:31 »» Chase smiles. "Goodnight, Scarlet."
  1061. Apr 23 01:48:14 »» Rosetta still looks confused.
  1062. Apr 23 01:48:14 <Chase> Or goodbye, or something, fuck if I know how long that took.
  1063. Apr 23 01:48:34 «--- Domovoi (Domovoi@sux-79F3D04A.hsd1.il.comcast.net) has Quit (Ping timeout)
  1064. Apr 23 01:48:47 »» Chase pats Rosetta on the shoulder as he walks by. "Don't worry about it, in good time, arright? Let's get back to the hotel."
  1065. Apr 23 01:48:52 <Lilith> "See you guys, then!"
  1066. Apr 23 01:48:54 <Lilith> "......"
  1067. Apr 23 01:49:00 <Lilith> "........"
  1068. Apr 23 01:49:01 <Chase> "Later, Lil~"
  1069. Apr 23 01:49:04 <Chase> "...?"
  1070. Apr 23 01:49:07 »» Chase stops and looks over.
  1071. Apr 23 01:49:12 <Lilith> "Oh, uh."
  1072. Apr 23 01:49:12 <Rosetta> "Well, alright."
  1073. Apr 23 01:49:16 <Chase> "Something wrong?"
  1074. Apr 23 01:49:18 <Lilith> "Nothing."
  1075. Apr 23 01:49:23 <Lilith> "Guess I've gotta pack up now."
  1076. Apr 23 01:49:27 <Chase> "Aw, come on, don't leave me hanging. Wha-"
  1077. Apr 23 01:49:29 <Chase> "Oh."
  1078. Apr 23 01:49:41 <Rosetta> "Need help?"
  1079. Apr 23 01:49:48 <Chase> "Arright, fine. You guys go on ahead, I'll help Lil pack up the breakfast... megathing."
  1080. Apr 23 01:49:50 »» Saryx shrugs it off, then turns to Lil. "... You sure something's not the matter, Dr. Vai? Least I can help you pack your stuff up proper..."
  1081. Apr 23 01:50:05 <Lilith> "Well, it's lightened up considerably."
  1082. Apr 23 01:50:09 <Chase> "And then we all stayed behind to help her. Aren't we proper good samaritans?" he laughs.
  1083. Apr 23 01:50:10 <Rosetta> "I think we're all helping now."
  1084. Apr 23 01:50:19 <Lilith> "The rest can be leftover for my buddies. It's still fresh-ish."
  1085. Apr 23 01:50:31 <Lilith> "Like, half to Ded, and everyone else gets the rest."
  1086. Apr 23 01:50:36 <Chase> "I never got to snag any of that bacon, so I may as well do so while I help."
  1087. Apr 23 01:51:14 »» Saryx 's stomach rumbles near violently. "... Yeah, I was so worried about the killer pancake mix I didn't think to eat any of the rest of it!"
  1088. Apr 23 01:51:20 <Lilith> "Alright, then. Shouldn't be too bad of a trip."
  1089. Apr 23 01:51:31 <Lilith> "Yeah, take some, take some - I brought all this to share!"
  1090. Apr 23 01:51:51 <Chase> "Appreciate it." he grins.
  1091. Apr 23 01:52:10 <Rosetta> "Thanks Lil."
  1092. Apr 23 01:52:27 »» Rosetta stuffs a breakfast taco in her mouth, then begins to help packing.
  1093. Apr 23 01:52:27 <Lilith> "That's supposed to be -really- good soda, so I hope you like it."
  1094. Apr 23 01:52:40 <Lilith> "and if not, that BevDeluxe dude is going to get what's coming to him."
  1095. Apr 23 01:52:45 »» Chase snags some bacon and does the same.
  1096. Apr 23 01:53:13 <Rosetta> "It's shiny."
  1097. Apr 23 01:53:17 <Saryx> "Don't mind if I do, Dr. Vai! Thanks a whole lot!" And he, too, ends up alternating between packing things back into the cooler and into his mouth.
  1098. Apr 23 01:54:38 <~zoofman> As you all leave, the Krabby raises a consh shell, and HRRROOOOOO. It Begins.
