  1. Jul 19 12:32:29 <Aori_Radidjiu> Wednesday, June 3rd, Noon. Sun's high in the sky, and by now about everyone on the crew should be ready to do thing! Despite the visible sun, there's a bunch of clouds looming on the horizon, looks like it'll be raining soon! Ark is business as usual, tons of people walking along docks or swimming their way across the city (or even boating!)
  2. Jul 19 12:35:49 * Knox has been a bit absent for the past couple hours this morning, though he might have briefly been seen running to the infirmary, then absent again. Now? He's come out on deck in a bit of a better mood, preparing to help Lani weigh anchor.
  3. Jul 19 12:37:37 * Mackenzie is probably regaling Eileen with really skewed stories of what the team has been up to in his room.
  4. Jul 19 12:37:42 <Melons> Various mostly-empty bottles are scattered about the kitchen, or whatever the cool kids call it, accompanying Melanie as she finishes up her balanced brewkfast. Or brewnch. She continuously plays a video on her phone struggling to concentrate on it, the bench/stool/chair/whatever whining under her fat ass. Or, dense ass. Okay, it's probably just the bony parts that are really really dense and heavy.
  5. Jul 19 12:43:21 * Mayuri is busy hiding away in the back room, surfing the internet! Whatever kind of chatrooms/forums/websites/Usenet groups Mayuri might visit.
  6. Jul 19 12:44:17 <Lesieli> Surprise surprise, a certain someone actually left the boat oh her own for once! What she was doing nobody can say, but she probably just got back a short while ago, hovering over these annoying maze-like docks.
  7. Jul 19 12:46:42 <Lesieli> So, seems everything's taken care of here, what's next? Did we even have any plans?
  8. Jul 19 12:46:45 <Melons> With a bit of a snort, Melanie slaps away the phone, picks up an egg she had lying nearby on the table, and stumbles her way up on deck.
  9. Jul 19 12:47:00 <Knox> Well, things aren't going to get done if someone doesn't get everyone together. Knox goes around and tries to find everyone.
  10. Jul 19 12:47:31 <Knox> 2d6 How much does Mel smell like alcohol
  11. Jul 19 12:47:32 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, How much does Mel smell like alcohol: 11 [2d6=6,5]
  12. Jul 19 12:48:45 <Melons> To be fair, Alluring probably interferes SOMEWHAT with the smell.
  13. Jul 19 12:49:02 <Aori_Radidjiu> Lani's getting the engines revved up and ready to go! Luna's still in her room, Auriga's still in Knox's room, Mirai's gotten up and cooked some bacon and eggs, Ken's welcoming Lesieli back, Bearington and his bears are making sure everything's in tip top shape, Marie's gotten up, she seems a bit tired, and Mistral...
  14. Jul 19 12:50:01 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Hey guys I found an egg!" She runs into the galley, with an egg in her hands, Kei and Fangs tiptoeing behind her...
  15. Jul 19 12:50:30 <Knox> "I have some things that need to be gone over." he says, once he's found everyone, though he pauses to look at Mistral. "..."
  16. Jul 19 12:51:21 * Mackenzie makes sure Eileen stays in his room when he goes up with Knox.
  17. Jul 19 12:51:23 <Melons> Melanie looks franticly about to find her own e- oh, in her arms, that was close. "'kay...ha...geddit..."
  18. Jul 19 12:52:18 <Aori_Radidjiu> Sigmund is at the table in the galley, completely unharmed. He's quietly eating some bacon.
  19. Jul 19 12:54:03 <Knox> He seems a bit amused when he sees how Kei and Fangs are acting. "...Wonder which it'll be. ...anyway."
  20. Jul 19 12:54:29 <Melons> "Pretty...pretty sure it'll be...a baby."
  21. Jul 19 12:54:41 <Melons> She looks at Knox like he's an idiot.
  22. Jul 19 12:54:58 <Melons> H͏i̡̗̭̞͕c͎̜.̮̻͍̱͎
  23. Jul 19 12:55:02 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mistral sets the egg on the table. Kei and Fangs look around the corner, leery eyed. It's on the same table as the cooked eggs.
  24. Jul 19 12:55:27 <Knox> "Listen up! Two things. First, if you need bandages or potions or whatever, go by storage instead of the infirmary. Robin is up and she needs some time to adjust. She's currently barricaded the room and has a gun, if you need more deterring. Just don't bother her and it'll be fine."
  25. Jul 19 12:55:28 <Lesieli> "Ooh, ooh, lemme see lemme see!" Les excitedly stumbles over to check it out.
  26. Jul 19 12:55:47 <Aori_Radidjiu> Egg's on the table, free to be grabbed.
  27. Jul 19 12:55:52 <Aori_Radidjiu> Lani's getting the boat moving.
  28. Jul 19 12:56:10 <Knox> "Of course it'll be a baby, what the hell do you think you're- oh, forget it. Second thing."
  29. Jul 19 12:57:09 <Melons> "Kei, come make sure fumbles doesn't pull a humpty dumpty."
  30. Jul 19 12:57:46 * Lesieli ignores speaking people and checks out dat egg, trying to figure out what it's gonna be. A Pokemon egg is much more interesting than some dude talking.
  31. Jul 19 12:57:49 <Melons> She says the 'dump' part of that like she has a bad taste in her mouth.
  32. Jul 19 12:58:08 <Aori_Radidjiu> He jumps at his name being called, then goes over to the table, blushing a bit. He stays by Les's feet in case she drops it.
  33. Jul 19 12:59:03 <Knox> "...I got contacted by one of my old crew. Kimi Miyama. A message I sent out after Jackknife got a return. We have asynnetriucal encryption or whatever the hell you want to call it. And from what I gather, she's in Hermit Town with another member of my old group, who apparently isn't doing too well. Don't know the details for sure."
  34. Jul 19 13:00:35 <Aori_Radidjiu> It's a black egg with yellow spots
  35. Jul 19 13:00:37 <Knox> "The only other hint I was given to find them was the message "those who wish for light shall find it in the written word.". ...If we have time, I want to check it out as soon as possible. Judging from our heading, we're on the way to Mt. Abalone, which is on the way to Hermit..."
  36. Jul 19 13:01:28 <Knox> "Anyway, that's it. "
  37. Jul 19 13:01:30 <Melons> "A...shin...newt...rickle...? That's...oh, Hermit, yeah we can do Hermit or...Hismit...whichever...volcano isn't that consequential."
  38. Jul 19 13:01:40 * Mayuri walks up into the kitchen, stretching a little!
  39. Jul 19 13:01:49 * Knox squints at Melons, terrible intuition is terrible.
  40. Jul 19 13:01:51 <Mayuri> "Oh... that's where everybody is. Hi~"
  41. Jul 19 13:02:27 <Aori_Radidjiu> Sigmund hands a letter to Mayuri. A letter with some rather exact tears in it, perfectly ripped to negate the sigil. "Here."
  42. Jul 19 13:02:39 * Lesieli perks up at hearing that "H-Hermit? Already?"
  43. Jul 19 13:02:55 * Knox isn't going to repeat himself. >:| I said he waited til he got everyone together so you can just assume Mayuri heard.
  44. Jul 19 13:03:08 <Knox> "You have your own business there?"
  45. Jul 19 13:03:15 * Mayuri blinks and headtilts
  46. Jul 19 13:03:26 <Mayuri> 5d6+3 Wasn't me!
  47. Jul 19 13:03:27 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, Wasn't me!: 22 [5d6=5,5,2,6,1]
  48. Jul 19 13:03:54 <Lesieli> "No, just didn't think I'd be heading back home so soon"
  49. Jul 19 13:04:07 <Melons> "We kep' almos' goin' there...then not goin' there...but there's books and shit."
  50. Jul 19 13:04:12 <Aori_Radidjiu> 5d6+6+4 Uhuh.
  51. Jul 19 13:04:13 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, Uhuh.: 25 [5d6=1,2,6,1,5]
  52. Jul 19 13:05:13 <Aori_Radidjiu> He looks you right in the eyes.
  53. Jul 19 13:07:15 * Mayuri returns fire with puppy eyes! Did this guy read it, or know about the glowpaint even?
  54. Jul 19 13:07:31 <Mayuri> 6d6+4 I should get Skill Stunts. Too bad I'm still ranking skills.
  55. Jul 19 13:07:32 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, I should get Skill Stunts. Too bad I'm still ranking skills.: 30 [6d6=5,3,5,3,5,5]
  56. Jul 19 13:08:30 <Mackenzie> "Well..." Mack acts like he has something to bring up.
  57. Jul 19 13:08:39 <Melons> "Well!"
  58. Jul 19 13:09:13 <Knox> "Well?"
  59. Jul 19 13:09:17 * Knox looks at Mack.
  60. Jul 19 13:09:21 <Aori_Radidjiu> 6d6+4+2 Spending AP
  61. Jul 19 13:09:21 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, Spending AP: 31 [6d6=5,4,5,2,5,4]
  62. Jul 19 13:09:49 <Mackenzie> "What about the two we fought last night? Did they get, ah... stored properly?"
  63. Jul 19 13:10:05 <Melons> "Gutted and sold at the fish market."
  64. Jul 19 13:10:07 <Mayuri> "... hmph. I hope you had nothing to do with the stupid glow paint."
  65. Jul 19 13:10:22 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I didn't."
  66. Jul 19 13:10:36 <Aori_Radidjiu> "You got Sami, at least. She grabbed it before I got up. I disabled Ree's too."
  67. Jul 19 13:11:25 <Knox> "The prisoners are separated, with bags over their heads and cleanse tags on their cells. Furthermore I put earplugs on the psychic. You can't be too goddamn careful these days."
  68. Jul 19 13:11:50 <Melons> "What...the fuck would ear plugs do?"
  69. Jul 19 13:11:50 <Mackenzie> "Do we want to try to talk to them?"
  70. Jul 19 13:12:25 <Mayuri> "Oh, come on! Ree definitely had something to do with that. Right?"
  71. Jul 19 13:12:26 <Knox> "You have to know where someone is before you can use abilities like that."
  72. Jul 19 13:12:34 <Melons> "Ear plugs."
  73. Jul 19 13:13:07 <Knox> "With sight and sound deprived it's as good as we're going to get."
  74. Jul 19 13:13:21 <Melons> "...that's not even how...whatever."
  75. Jul 19 13:13:49 <Aori_Radidjiu> Sigmund straightens his hair. "There aren't any psionics I've heard of that can do much with their sight and sound deprived, unless they've got the layout of an area memorized."
  76. Jul 19 13:14:17 <Melons> "Can still feel sound. Also, implying fuckgood ear plugs."
  77. Jul 19 13:14:25 <Mackenzie> "I'm taking this as a no."
  78. Jul 19 13:14:36 * Mayuri is pretty sure this Mr. No Fun wouldn't glowpaint anyone. Ree, on the other hand. :T
  79. Jul 19 13:14:37 <Lesieli> "So, we're gonna go turn them in first, right?"
  80. Jul 19 13:14:45 <Melons> "Dissection."
  81. Jul 19 13:14:49 <Knox> "Interrogate them, you mean?" he asks Mack.
  82. Jul 19 13:15:01 <Mackenzie> "Right."
  83. Jul 19 13:15:25 <Melons> "Should probably tell Lani to fuck off if you wanna do that."
  84. Jul 19 13:15:26 <Mayuri> "Except, like, burn bags over their heads, or turn intangable?"
  85. Jul 19 13:15:37 <Knox> "Why?"
  86. Jul 19 13:15:59 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Ree was an acoomplice at best, Sami was the main culprit. So you got her, at least."
  87. Jul 19 13:16:00 <Knox> "Oh, you were answering her."
  88. Jul 19 13:16:18 <Knox> Or was she? Terrible intuition.
  89. Jul 19 13:16:37 <Melons> "Boat's rumblin'."
  90. Jul 19 13:17:38 <Aori_Radidjiu> Sigmund finishes his food and heads back off to his room.
  91. Jul 19 13:17:40 <Knox> "Anyway, interrogating them. We can do that, sure."
  92. Jul 19 13:18:15 <Mayuri> "Can't we, like, have the Lecia girl fly over and pick them up or something?"
  93. Jul 19 13:18:20 <Mackenzie> "We should try to at least find out something from the dopier one. I nabbed the phone from the other."
  94. Jul 19 13:18:38 * Lesieli raises her hand "Wouldn't it be better to just turn them in and let the professionals do it? Don't wanna screw something up and give them even a chance of escape"
  95. Jul 19 13:18:59 <Mackenzie> "Aren't we supposed to be the professionals?"
  96. Jul 19 13:20:04 * Lesieli stops to think about that for a moment
  97. Jul 19 13:20:08 <Mayuri> "... no?"
  98. Jul 19 13:20:21 <Melons> "Certainly not pro jailors."
  99. Jul 19 13:20:31 <Lesieli> "Kinda? But not like, professional professionals"
  100. Jul 19 13:21:31 <Melons> "Well...if no one else is up for it..." Melanie stands up and starts to stumble down the hall. "...which way's the brag? Breg? Brig?"
  101. Jul 19 13:21:43 <Mackenzie> "We have a psychic who can... presumably... suppress the other psychic somehow. We have a tech genius who can crack into her phone and find all the juicy details and enemy phone numbers. We have the good cop and bad cop to do the actual talking. I don't see the problem."
  102. Jul 19 13:21:45 * Knox cracks his knuckles. "I already sent a message back to HQ. Up to them when they decide to pick up."
  103. Jul 19 13:22:36 <Knox> "In the meantime, we can try and wring information out of the guy."
  104. Jul 19 13:23:05 <Melons> "Ohohoh, further threat of nightmares may work on the psy-chick!"
  105. Jul 19 13:23:26 <Knox> Knox briefly wonders if Mel did lose her marbles as Auriga suggested.
  106. Jul 19 13:23:48 <Melons> To be fair, at most Mel only had one marble.
  107. Jul 19 13:23:51 <Mayuri> "How long... uh, did you keep up that nightmare exactly?"
  108. Jul 19 13:23:51 * Knox briefly stares, but then shrugs. "Let's go down, then."
  109. Jul 19 13:24:19 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mirai sets down another plate of bacon and eggs on the table, and resumes cooking~
  110. Jul 19 13:24:44 * Knox did eat at some point and thanked Mirai, sure.
  111. Jul 19 13:25:03 <Melons> Melanie smells delicious things and sighs, hanging back to wait for everyone else to head to the brug.
  112. Jul 19 13:25:20 * Knox is ready to head down, himself.
  113. Jul 19 13:25:33 <Melons> +first
  114. Jul 19 13:25:36 <Lesieli> Hooray, food!
  115. Jul 19 13:26:03 * Mackenzie begins heading on down!
  116. Jul 19 13:26:09 * Knox heads down as well.
  117. Jul 19 13:27:39 * Mayuri stays and noms food, presumably with Lesi still here! Not helping them torture the poor psychic (yet)
  118. Jul 19 13:28:07 <Melons> After everyone that's leaving leaves, Melanie slips back into the kitchen behind Mirai, a morose look on her flushed face. "...hey. We...need to talk."
  119. Jul 19 13:28:11 <Melons> 4d6+4 Guile for whispering
  120. Jul 19 13:28:11 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Guile for whispering: 22 [4d6=6,1,6,5]
  121. Jul 19 13:28:52 <Lesieli> 4d6+6-2 Perception, -2 cause I'm busy eating
  122. Jul 19 13:28:53 <DiceMaid-9001> Lesieli, Perception, -2 cause I'm busy eating: 20 [4d6=3,5,3,5]
  123. Jul 19 13:29:14 <Lesieli> If I wasn't preoccupied, it'd be close!
  124. Jul 19 13:29:30 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mirai finishes another batch of food and sets it down, turning around to face you. "Okay."
  125. Jul 19 13:30:56 <Melons> "...last night I...Luna...sorry...it's...not going to work." Despite the alcohol calming her nerves enough to be able to actually face Mirai, her è̞̯̹̖̜̯̟y̤̩e̴͉̗̠s̢̖̗͔̲̣͖ quiver intensely.
  126. Jul 19 13:31:19 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Luna?" She quirks an eye.
  127. Jul 19 13:32:05 <Melons> "There was...a thing with Kanaloa...and it....is a lot of words..."
  128. Jul 19 13:32:43 <Aori_Radidjiu> "What happened last night anyway? Last thing I remember was Naamaka asking for permission for something and I figured it was important so I let her do it."
  129. Jul 19 13:35:53 <Melons> Biiiiiiiiiiiiiiig breeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeath. This is all said quickly, but for your sanity I'll include spaces. "Aether made some deal with Kanaloa to provide sacrifices, aiming to use us to do so, after we stopped them at this rig thing full of Sableyes, and then we blew up a boat and a bunch of other boats, and then we returned, and then we saw that fucking godwhore in your body explaining the bit about Kanaloa being a cunt, and
  130. Jul 19 13:35:53 <Melons> then we kicked his ass, and then we did various stuff, but more importantly Luna harvested some of his divine water, which we bathed in because that's how that works, and then we made promises for gifts, and we found out he took Aether down to the underworld since they didn't deliver, and Luna got books in return for Kanaloa sponsoring her show with his song thing, and then I wanted divine power, but couldn't come up with anythi
  131. Jul 19 13:35:53 <Melons> ng, so she pushed me in a whirlpool of torture or pleasure or I don't know and then she said I owed her and then I got stronger and then we woke up and then I licked her and...so yeah like that."
  132. Jul 19 13:37:24 <Melons> "Oh, and after that I found my mom was cursed for also being a whore, so I guess we're more alike than I thought, and a Darkrai wanted to eat me or something, but I guess that isn't related."
  133. Jul 19 13:41:06 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Ah, Kanaloa huh. So that's why she-" She motions to Marie "-looks so messed up."
  134. Jul 19 13:41:34 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Well, if you want to break it off, that's pretty sad, but I guess if you don't think it'll work out...you need to do what you think is right, right?"
  135. Jul 19 13:42:30 <Melons> A wide smile crosses her face, though her eyes don't quite match it. "No, see, this is good for you, you're free now for someone that isn't awful, but I'll still help you on your quest if you want, I mean I want to be friends, but I'll understand if you want nothing to do with me, so...I'm going to go play with some assholes, see ya!"
  136. Jul 19 13:42:41 <Melons> 6d6+3 Successfully join the others without tripping to death
  137. Jul 19 13:42:42 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Successfully join the others without tripping to death: 22 [6d6=2,2,1,5,5,4]
  138. Jul 19 13:43:12 <Aori_Radidjiu> She waves as you go off, and then sits down to eat some of her food. Sniff.
  139. Jul 19 13:44:34 <Aori_Radidjiu> Down to the brig! Boat's definitely moving now.
  140. Jul 19 13:45:24 * Lesieli looks up from food, oblivious to what just happened. "Thanks for the food Mirai, it's great~ Probably should go join the others though" She grabs one last piece to munch on the way.
  141. Jul 19 13:45:46 <Aori_Radidjiu> Sniff. "Thanks."
  142. Jul 19 13:46:09 * Mayuri blinks and stares a bit
  143. Jul 19 13:46:25 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mirai picks up her food and goes to her room
  144. Jul 19 13:47:32 <Mayuri> 5d6+4 Intuition: It's pretty obvious what just happened there, isn't it.
  145. Jul 19 13:47:33 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, Intuition: It's pretty obvious what just happened there, isn't it.: 25 [5d6=4,6,4,3,4]
  146. Jul 19 13:48:06 <Lesieli> 3d6+1 Is it really?
  147. Jul 19 13:48:06 <DiceMaid-9001> Lesieli, Is it really?: 15 [3d6=4,6,4]
  148. Jul 19 13:48:18 <Aori_Radidjiu> AHEM. The brig. You've got all 5 of those fuckers from last night locked up in there. Shyla occasionally writhes under her bonds, seems she's still having a Nightmare
  149. Jul 19 13:48:48 <Mayuri> "I hope she's OK..." ^.^;
  150. Jul 19 13:49:42 * Knox grabs Pierce by the shoulder and drags him up, then out of the cell, over to a different room away from the others.
  151. Jul 19 13:50:23 <Melons> 1d20 Eat Shyla's tasty, tasty nightmares. Which should only be able to miss on 1.
  152. Jul 19 13:50:25 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Eat Shyla's tasty, tasty nightmares. Which should only be able to miss on 1.: 17 [1d20=17]
  153. Jul 19 13:51:07 <Melons> 3d8+10+28 Omnomnom
  154. Jul 19 13:51:09 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Omnomnom: 46 [3d8=4,2,2]
  155. Jul 19 13:51:32 * Knox then pushes Pierce into a chair and pulls the bag off of his head.
  156. Jul 19 13:51:45 <Mayuri> "So, uhm... should we go see what's going on?"
  157. Jul 19 13:53:05 <Aori_Radidjiu> She goes limp
  158. Jul 19 13:53:32 <Aori_Radidjiu> Pierce looks up at Knox and glares. "Lovely accomodations you have here."
  159. Jul 19 13:54:28 <Knox> "Good morning, asshole. What was your name again? Pierce? Yeah, whatever."
  160. Jul 19 13:54:30 * Mackenzie watches the two from a short distance.
  161. Jul 19 13:54:56 <Aori_Radidjiu> He rolls his eyes. "Could I get the name of my most gracious host?
  162. Jul 19 13:54:58 <Aori_Radidjiu> "
  163. Jul 19 13:55:40 <Melons> "Oops, should have been more gentle. Least she won't be inter- unless she's faaaaaaaakiiiiiiing~."
  164. Jul 19 13:55:41 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Personally I'd prefer if we stuck to an 'asshole' basis."
  165. Jul 19 13:55:47 <Knox> "Knox. You'll not want to forget it this time."
  166. Jul 19 13:56:08 <Mayuri> "So, uhm~ If nothing else's going on, I'm going to go check up on what the others are doing~"
  167. Jul 19 13:56:37 <Aori_Radidjiu> "All right, Knox. Whadya' want?
  168. Jul 19 13:56:38 <Aori_Radidjiu> "
  169. Jul 19 13:56:56 <Knox> "Information. You should know the drill at this point. Easy way or hard way."
  170. Jul 19 13:57:22 <Melons> "We have drills? Why didn't you tell me we'd be interrogating the fun way~!"
  171. Jul 19 13:57:50 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Right. My job? I'm a pirate. Or a merc. Either or, whichever you prefer. My girlfriend is too."
  172. Jul 19 13:58:04 <Knox> "Let's check your story, first of all. Who are you with?" He already knows, of course, unless there's some really freaky coincidences going on here.
  173. Jul 19 13:58:23 <Melons> "Being a sellout isn't a job."
  174. Jul 19 13:58:37 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Pays food to eat."
  175. Jul 19 13:58:49 <Aori_Radidjiu> *for
  176. Jul 19 13:59:40 * Knox waits for his answer. 'Pirate' isn't a proper answer to what he wanted to know.
  177. Jul 19 14:00:37 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Who I'm 'with' is a bit of a hard thing to answer. I'm a free agent, don't do commitments, but I'm assuming you're asking about who hired me, yes?"
  178. Jul 19 14:01:10 <Knox> "Obviously."
  179. Jul 19 14:02:47 * Knox is being patient for now, but he's ready to get edgier on a moment's notice.
  180. Jul 19 14:03:47 * Mayuri heads down to the brig, and takes a peak around the corner!
  181. Jul 19 14:03:57 <Knox> Knox doesn't seem to be murdering anyone! Yet.
  182. Jul 19 14:04:40 * Mayuri tries to get to a place where the others can see her, but, not the big guy they're interogating!
  183. Jul 19 14:05:20 * Lesieli has been waiting just outside. She doesn't exactly feel comfortable getting involved in this sort of thing
  184. Jul 19 14:05:41 <Aori_Radidjiu> "So. Bunch of shady guys. None of them want to give me a name, one of them, this blonde girl, tells me she's 'Oceania' and I tell her that's bullshit. She just smirks at me. Asks if I want a job, I haven't done a job in a while, did something big and flashy a few months ago and now I wnat to lay low for a while, tell them I only want to do something legal. So they tell me that's
  185. Jul 19 14:05:41 <Aori_Radidjiu> fine. They just need us to clear some ghosts, some old place, they tell us they're gonna' demolish it in a little while and the ghosts can't interfere."
  186. Jul 19 14:05:53 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I know that's bullshit, but I didn't feel like callin' 'em out on it."
  187. Jul 19 14:07:07 <Melons> "White Water! Kanaloa's got most of them now anyways..." Mel's taken to braiding some of Shyla's hair (badly) that's poking out from the bag to entertain herself.
  188. Jul 19 14:07:13 * Knox gives a derisive laugh. "That's how they always get you. Offer you cushy-sounding, easy jobs. Big ships, strong pokemon, good pay, whatever the hell you want."
  189. Jul 19 14:07:19 * Mayuri holds up a sign to Mel and Mack! "Should I be here?"
  190. Jul 19 14:08:42 <Knox> "Team Aether, White Water division, apparently. Those are the morons who hired you. They're part of a larger shadow organization. But you don't really care about that, do you? Long as you get paid."
  191. Jul 19 14:10:36 <Melons> 1d6-2 Is this bub telling the truth about what he knows?
  192. Jul 19 14:10:38 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Is this bub telling the truth about what he knows?: 3 [1d6=5]
  193. Jul 19 14:10:39 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I just wanted cash. No pokemon, no collateral, just some cash to last me and Shyla and my little sisters a while. Made them pay me up front. Still have it back at the boat at the dock, unless something happened to it. Figured if it was just cash, it'd be harder for them to rat me out or something later. I've heard about those shady Pokemon they give out, they're terrible. It was
  194. Jul 19 14:10:39 <Aori_Radidjiu> a dumb idea. I should've just refused the second they said we could call for backup if we bit off more than we could chew."
  195. Jul 19 14:11:45 <Melons> "Think they were after us or whatever the rig was drillin' for?"
  196. Jul 19 14:12:14 * Mayuri shrugs and just walks into the interrogation! Knox and Mel... wouldn't be that mean, right?
  197. Jul 19 14:12:47 <Melons> Melanie is even braiding a girl's hair!...after making her potentially faint from mindfucking.
  198. Jul 19 14:14:13 <Aori_Radidjiu> "They told us to clear out any people there too, if there were people. I was just plannin' on knocking out anyone there and dumping them off somewhere else. Contract didn't say we had to kill anything. Just get everything out."
  199. Jul 19 14:14:26 <Knox> "Yes, you -should- have refused. These fuckers are bad news. One year ago, I was rolling with a pirate crew, myself, doing jobs for them. We got suspicion that shit was bigger than we were let on, and we couldn't have been more goddamn right. We decided we were going to stop accepting jobs from them. But Aether? They don't let you go once they have their claws sunk in. What they did to
  200. Jul 19 14:14:26 <Knox> me and my crew, I'm going to fucking enjoy repaying them for, bit by bit. You? You're lucky you're just a merc. The backup that was called? They called in the fucking god of the underworld after our fight, to take Ark Ctiy as sacrifices." he leans in. "We fucking kicked his ass."
  201. Jul 19 14:14:49 <Knox> "And now, what remained of your backup has been taken by Kanaloa instead."
  202. Jul 19 14:14:54 <Mayuri> "Uhm... what are you doing, Mel?"
  203. Jul 19 14:14:55 <Knox> "Funny how that works out."
  204. Jul 19 14:15:33 <Melons> "Oh you should have seen them last night, all chained up and everything. Kanaloa is disappointingly stupid though..."
  205. Jul 19 14:15:38 <Knox> "So, I guess at this point you could say you're out of a job. Pity that."
  206. Jul 19 14:15:50 <Aori_Radidjiu> His eyes narrow and look you straight in the eye as you lean in. "So you gonna' put me in the slammer or cut me loose or what?"
  207. Jul 19 14:17:23 <Knox> "I don't give a fuck what happens at this point. You're not really with Aether, just another pirate. I sympathize, but maybe you can cut a deal with who's going to be picking you up."
  208. Jul 19 14:17:52 * Mackenzie puts a hand on Knox's shoulder. "Let me take a crack. I know a bit about how our people work."
  209. Jul 19 14:18:57 <Knox> "If you want. I want to know why the fuck they were -really- after the oil rig, though."
  210. Jul 19 14:19:00 <Melons> "Can we keep this one? She seems smarter than him."
  211. Jul 19 14:19:11 <Knox> "Not likely to find out just interrogating this guy."
  212. Jul 19 14:19:12 <Melons> "Also she might have actually figured out why."
  213. Jul 19 14:19:29 * Knox shrugs. "If you want to ask her, feel free."
  214. Jul 19 14:20:29 <Mayuri> "Shouldn't we have someone who didn't use Nightmare on her talk to her?" ^.^;
  215. Jul 19 14:21:01 <Aori_Radidjiu> (She wouldn't know who used it, she was asleep!)
  216. Jul 19 14:21:38 <Mayuri> (Well, doh.)
  217. Jul 19 14:22:25 <Mayuri> (But I'd presume the kinds of nightmares from Mel would probably involve glitchy eldritch abominations. Might just notice.)
  218. Jul 19 14:23:41 <Melons> (If Knox is any indication, it would mostly just literally be their worst nightmare)
  219. Jul 19 14:24:41 <Melons> Melanie slips the bag off and removes the ear plugs from the girl.
  220. Jul 19 14:24:47 * Mackenzie addresses Pierce. "Alright, look. Our organization's first and most apparent front is just to arrest pirates and bring them in; nothing more." He has a pretty sympathetic look. "Team Aether, the people we're actually after, use people like you, because pirates are easy to hire and hard to police. As you know, they are bad news. They are going to twist this entire world to their
  221. Jul 19 14:24:48 * Mackenzie ends, as seen by how much they are willing to throw at any old mercenary to get their dirty work done. Everyone associated with you and your work last night save for us and where you are now, is dead."
  222. Jul 19 14:25:13 <Knox> "You didn't really have to tell him that part."
  223. Jul 19 14:25:37 <Mackenzie> "That being said, there is no safety for you, from them. They will find you, and they will off you."
  224. Jul 19 14:25:55 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Didn't you say they got sacrificed or whatever?"
  225. Jul 19 14:26:06 <Melons> "Oh, it's not really like ancient tribal sacrifice."
  226. Jul 19 14:26:16 <Aori_Radidjiu> "...do I wanna' know?"
  227. Jul 19 14:26:19 <Knox> "They couldn't fill their part of a bargain they made with Kanaloa."
  228. Jul 19 14:26:24 <Melons> "It's more like being a sex toy for Kanaloa until he gets bored. Although, I have no idea what happens to the guys, don't think Kanaloa is into that..."
  229. Jul 19 14:26:30 <Knox> "So now they're not here anymore."
  230. Jul 19 14:26:37 <Knox> "..." He stares at Mel more.
  231. Jul 19 14:27:05 <Mayuri> "... shouldn't you have told us earlier?"
  232. Jul 19 14:27:08 * Knox then looks away. Whatever, she's more attuned to the occult than he is.
  233. Jul 19 14:27:23 <Aori_Radidjiu> "...didn't wanna' know."
  234. Jul 19 14:27:48 <Melons> "Sure he'd LOVE to meet your girlfriend though..."
  235. Jul 19 14:27:50 <Mackenzie> "From what I understand, or at least so far as things were clarified, it was the division associated with his summoning, not the entire organization. Would be convenient if that were the case, though."
  236. Jul 19 14:27:56 <Mayuri> 5d6+3 Occult Knowledge: How mean is Kanaloa exactly?
  237. Jul 19 14:27:57 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, Occult Knowledge: How mean is Kanaloa exactly?: 20 [5d6=1,4,5,1,6]
  238. Jul 19 14:27:57 <Melons> 1d20 Pimpslap
  239. Jul 19 14:27:58 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Pimpslap: 8 [1d20=8]
  240. Jul 19 14:28:17 <Melons> 3d8+10+5 MY MIGHTY ATTACK STAT IS TO BE FEARED
  241. Jul 19 14:28:18 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, MY MIGHTY ATTACK STAT IS TO BE FEARED: 34 [3d8=8,4,7]
  242. Jul 19 14:28:38 <Aori_Radidjiu> Shyla wakes up with a groan.
  243. Jul 19 14:28:45 <Melons> "Wakey, wakey!"
  244. Jul 19 14:28:50 <Mackenzie> "Anyway, my point is, as long as any part of Team Aether still exists, you will be found and killed. If we let you go, that is."
  245. Jul 19 14:29:18 <Mayuri> "Didn't Knox say his buddies were fine?"
  246. Jul 19 14:29:33 <Knox> "What?"
  247. Jul 19 14:29:55 <Aori_Radidjiu> Did you take the bag off of her head?
  248. Jul 19 14:29:58 <Melons> Yep.
  249. Jul 19 14:30:02 <Melons> Ear plugs out too.
  250. Jul 19 14:30:28 <Aori_Radidjiu> She's up, but her eyes are unfocused. "Ugh, I have the worst headache..."
  251. Jul 19 14:30:31 <Mayuri> "And holing up in the Hermit Lighthouse's library, apparently..."
  252. Jul 19 14:30:33 <Knox> "I said I managed to get in contact with one of them, another is possibly mentally ill, others are probably dead - saying 'fine' is way off the fucking chart here."
  253. Jul 19 14:30:52 <Knox> "Stop saying sensitive things in front of the prisoners, anyway."
  254. Jul 19 14:31:48 <Mayuri> "... OK, not fine then."
  255. Jul 19 14:31:51 <Mayuri> "Not dead, anyway."
  256. Jul 19 14:32:15 <Melons> Melanie caresses Shyla's cheek like a mother. "I can make it worse, if you want."
  257. Jul 19 14:33:12 * Knox just watches over Melanie while she does this.
  258. Jul 19 14:33:14 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Uuuuuugh nooooooo..."
  259. Jul 19 14:33:32 <Mackenzie> "At any rate, my offer is this: let us bring you in. I will try to organize it that you are held by our organization, and not local police. You'll probably still be fully punished as pirates, but that is better than being brutally murdfered once you are found."
  260. Jul 19 14:33:49 <Melons> "Alright then, what was the real reason Aether sent you guys to the rig, hmmmm~?"
  261. Jul 19 14:33:59 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Aether...? Who...?"
  262. Jul 19 14:34:13 <Knox> "The shits who hired you."
  263. Jul 19 14:34:53 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Clearing out...things..." She blinks really hard. Pierce is watching her and Melanie, and he's going a bit pale
  264. Jul 19 14:35:11 <Knox> "...Did she not find out either?"
  265. Jul 19 14:35:16 <Knox> "Fuck me."
  266. Jul 19 14:35:48 <Melons> Melanie waves Knox away. "Do you not recall the reason we knocked her out? She's also just waking up, give her a chance."
  267. Jul 19 14:36:03 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Shy, we fucked up." "Pierce?" Shyla blinks a few times, her eyes focusing. "Oh good, you're there..."
  268. Jul 19 14:36:18 * Mackenzie hands Shyla's phone to Mel. "Here's your hand, by the way. We'll be able to find out if they made any contact that would contradict what they're saying."
  269. Jul 19 14:36:59 <Melons> She opens it up, immediately looking into texts if there's not a lock code on it for some reason.
  270. Jul 19 14:37:10 <Aori_Radidjiu> Of course there's a lock on it.
  271. Jul 19 14:37:27 <Melons> She lets the phone drift closer to Shyla's face. "Numbers, give em."
  272. Jul 19 14:40:19 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Um...4...5...8...8...7...4...3...7...7..."
  273. Jul 19 14:40:39 <Melons> Stare.
  274. Jul 19 14:41:28 <Melons> "Are you lying?"
  275. Jul 19 14:41:44 <Aori_Radidjiu> Are you actually trying to unlock it?
  276. Jul 19 14:42:00 <Melons> Nope!
  277. Jul 19 14:42:45 <Aori_Radidjiu> "What would I gain...from lying...when you're threatening me...and looking at me that way...and I'm all bound up..."
  278. Jul 19 14:43:07 <Melons> "Disappointing if you can't think of any benefit..." She snatches the phone back out of the air and types in the numbers.
  279. Jul 19 14:43:12 <Mayuri> 5d6+4 Intuition: Neither of them are lying, are they.
  280. Jul 19 14:43:12 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, Intuition: Neither of them are lying, are they.: 26 [5d6=4,4,6,6,2]
  281. Jul 19 14:43:15 <Aori_Radidjiu> She yawns
  282. Jul 19 14:43:19 <Aori_Radidjiu> Yaaaaaaaaaaawns
  283. Jul 19 14:43:34 * Melons uses Crafty Shield.
  284. Jul 19 14:43:45 <Aori_Radidjiu> Not the move you goof
  285. Jul 19 14:43:51 * Melons is crafty.
  286. Jul 19 14:43:52 <Aori_Radidjiu> She's just really really sleepy
  287. Jul 19 14:44:07 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mayuri: Neither of them seem to be lying
  288. Jul 19 14:44:18 <Aori_Radidjiu> The phone unlocks, easily.
  289. Jul 19 14:44:23 <Melons> "By all means, if you'd like to go back to your wonderful dreams, I could oblige..."
  290. Jul 19 14:44:47 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I don't feel...like I got any rest...or actually slept..."
  291. Jul 19 14:45:27 <Melons> Doth the phone unlock without a hitch?
  292. Jul 19 14:45:37 <Aori_Radidjiu> I just said it did
  293. Jul 19 14:45:40 <Melons> Oops.
  294. Jul 19 14:45:48 * Melons navigates to the messages.
  295. Jul 19 14:46:30 <Mayuri> "... Do you guys actually think they're lying?"
  296. Jul 19 14:46:39 <Melons> "Only a fool wouldn't."
  297. Jul 19 14:47:01 <Melons> "But of course lying all the time is predictable."
  298. Jul 19 14:47:09 <Knox> "Just check the phone." turning back to Pierce, he says, "So whatever. Long story short, you're probably going to be fucked one way or another. If I were you, I'd cut a deal with the cops. If there's -anything- else you can tell me about this 'Oceania', say it now."
  299. Jul 19 14:47:22 <Knox> *though
  300. Jul 19 14:47:36 <Knox> " If there's -anything- else you can tell me about this 'Oceania', though, say it now."
  301. Jul 19 14:48:28 * Melons is feeling deja vu.
  302. Jul 19 14:48:46 <Aori_Radidjiu> There's a recent call, from her to a number, probably when she called during the battle last night, and there's mostly texts to "Mom" and "Hubby" and a single one from an unlisted number. It's a latitude/longitude listing and a "get it done by midnight" from early yesterday.
  303. Jul 19 14:48:57 <Knox> (Replace that line with the newer one)
  304. Jul 19 14:49:09 <Melons> (But I want to tease you)
  305. Jul 19 14:49:21 <Melons> Melanie looks around for Lesieli.
  306. Jul 19 14:49:23 <Aori_Radidjiu> It's easily noticeable that there aren't any messages older than 2 weeks, she must have her phone set to auto-delete old messages.
  307. Jul 19 14:49:30 * Lesieli is right outside the room
  308. Jul 19 14:49:35 <Melons> "MELE!"
  309. Jul 19 14:50:00 <Mayuri> "You guys can't actually figure out when people are lying, can you. Just assume bad guys lie, and good guys don't."
  310. Jul 19 14:50:00 <Aori_Radidjiu> Shyla winces at the noise.
  311. Jul 19 14:50:14 <Knox> "...really, kid?"
  312. Jul 19 14:50:24 * Mayuri shrugs
  313. Jul 19 14:50:25 <Melons> "GET IN HERE!"
  314. Jul 19 14:51:02 <Mayuri> "Unless you think they're really secretly Aether agents~"
  315. Jul 19 14:51:10 * Lesieli pokes her head around the corner "What? Do you really need me?"
  316. Jul 19 14:51:17 <Knox> "This isn't Barney the Dragonite or whatever you grew up watching. "
  317. Jul 19 14:51:34 <Knox> "But whatever, no, I don't think these two are lying."
  318. Jul 19 14:51:52 * Melons holds up the phone, floating it closer to Les. "Go find out who the numbers in this phone match up with if you can, also see if you can recover any deleted data or shit like that. Password is 458874377."
  319. Jul 19 14:52:50 * Lesieli walks on over and takes it "What, do I look like an expert hacker now? I'll go see what I can do"
  320. Jul 19 14:52:53 * Mayuri shrugs
  321. Jul 19 14:53:00 <Mayuri> "Mel seems to think so."
  322. Jul 19 14:53:12 <Knox> "They're just a couple of saps who got suckered into this like my crew did. If they're smart, they'll try to be useful so they don't just rot in prison waiting for Aether to tie up loose ends."
  323. Jul 19 14:53:15 <Melons> "Fuck if I know if you can do the second part, but if you really can't just search the numbers online..."
  324. Jul 19 14:53:26 <Knox> "But if they're not, no skin off my nose, really."
  325. Jul 19 14:53:59 <Melons> Melanie turns back to Shyla with interest. "Now...which sorts of psychic exactly are you?"
  326. Jul 19 14:54:18 <Lesieli> And rather than leave the area, she just whistles a certain octahedron over. And feeds it the phone when it gets there.
  327. Jul 19 14:54:42 <Knox> "We -could- get an expert hacker." he says dryly.
  328. Jul 19 14:54:49 <Aori_Radidjiu> Rammy whirrrrrrs and gets to work. This isn't some obscure shit so it shouldn't take long.
  329. Jul 19 14:55:11 <Mayuri> I guess we have one?
  330. Jul 19 14:55:16 <Mayuri> ""*
  331. Jul 19 14:55:26 <Lesieli> "Here, find what you can. Password's 4-5-8 . . . . something something, I'm sure you can handle it"
  332. Jul 19 14:55:27 <Aori_Radidjiu> There's a crunching noise from the robot after it envelops the phone
  333. Jul 19 14:56:58 * Knox asked Pierce more about Oceania, Aori
  334. Jul 19 14:57:23 <Aori_Radidjiu> Pierce looks up at the ceiling a bit. "Lemme' think..."
  335. Jul 19 14:57:27 <Aori_Radidjiu> "She uh..."
  336. Jul 19 14:57:57 * Mayuri blinks and pokes at Rammy. o.o
  337. Jul 19 14:59:12 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Smelled a bit like sea salt, wore this blue dress...like I said, she was blonde...keep winking and hitting on me, didn't like it. Was about 25 I'd say? Yeah, 25 sounds right. She had a tattoo of a heart on her arm...was there something else on it? I dun' remember."
  338. Jul 19 14:59:43 <Aori_Radidjiu> Melanie, you vaguely remember a girl like that bound up in the waiting room
  339. Jul 19 15:00:10 * Mayuri experimentally feeds Rammy a blank CD.
  340. Jul 19 15:00:25 <Lesieli> "Careful kid, he's busy"
  341. Jul 19 15:00:51 <Melons> "Oh...can you describe what she'd look like if she was bound and gagged?"
  342. Jul 19 15:01:06 <Knox> "Exactly like that, but bound and with a gag."
  343. Jul 19 15:01:09 <Aori_Radidjiu> Rammy engulfs it, and on one side fo it a holo screen pops up with options for burning things to the CD.
  344. Jul 19 15:01:23 <Aori_Radidjiu> "...yeah Knoxy said what I was about to."
  345. Jul 19 15:01:29 * Mackenzie stares at Melons.
  346. Jul 19 15:01:38 <Melons> "Ah, should ask Kanaloa about it then, think he's got her."
  347. Jul 19 15:01:46 <Knox> "Figures."
  348. Jul 19 15:02:07 <Knox> "...Knoxy? ...whatever. I think we're mostly done here."
  349. Jul 19 15:02:10 <Melons> Hey Mack, I'm up here, I'm not just some pieces of cruit for you to oogle at.
  350. Jul 19 15:02:22 <Melons> *fruit
  351. Jul 19 15:02:45 <Knox> "It's almost disappointing that they're just pirate mercs. I let the last batch of Aether goons go through my fingers without a proper interrogation."
  352. Jul 19 15:03:10 <Melons> "Hey, you a telepath by chance?" Melanie turns her attention back to Shyla.
  353. Jul 19 15:03:19 <Mackenzie> (Melons is an irish island)
  354. Jul 19 15:03:36 <Melons> (No, Melanie sinks. At least in this form.)
  355. Jul 19 15:03:43 <Aori_Radidjiu> Shyla's blinking away sleepiness as she tries to respond to you Melanie. "Um...psychic. Like....yeah, a telepath...and a telekinetic..."
  356. Jul 19 15:03:58 <Melons> "And you DIDN'T probe any of the minds of your employers?"
  357. Jul 19 15:04:19 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I tried."
  358. Jul 19 15:04:40 <Melons> "Aaaaaaaaand?"
  359. Jul 19 15:04:43 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Some heads are harder to get into than others."
  360. Jul 19 15:05:03 <Knox> "I wouldn't be surprised if they have tech based mind shields or something."
  361. Jul 19 15:05:03 <Melons> She gets awkwardly close with a grin. "Read mine. To prove you are a telepath."
  362. Jul 19 15:06:09 <Aori_Radidjiu> She backs away a bit and...well, since you have that edge, you can feel her getting into your head...and very quickly backing out.
  363. Jul 19 15:06:30 <Melons> Melanie was very vividly imaginging removing Shyla's eyes by hand.
  364. Jul 19 15:06:45 <Aori_Radidjiu> She shuts her eyes closed immediately.
  365. Jul 19 15:07:04 <Melons> "Good girl! Alright then, one last question..." She turns to Pierce. "You do anything useful?"
  366. Jul 19 15:07:22 <Aori_Radidjiu> Pierce frowns. "Define 'useful'."
  367. Jul 19 15:07:38 <Melons> "Your alternatives are death or prison if you're not useful."
  368. Jul 19 15:07:52 <Knox> "He looked like a combat specialist."
  369. Jul 19 15:07:58 <Knox> "Rather than something like a telepath."
  370. Jul 19 15:08:02 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I am!"
  371. Jul 19 15:08:12 <Melons> "Nothing else? At all? Nothing even remotely unusual?"
  372. Jul 19 15:08:12 <Aori_Radidjiu> "...but I can see auras, if that's what you're wanting."
  373. Jul 19 15:08:20 <Knox> "There we go."
  374. Jul 19 15:08:31 <Melons> "We have sunglasses that can do that."
  375. Jul 19 15:09:06 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I can technically speak with people in their heads, but you probably have stuff for that too."
  376. Jul 19 15:09:06 <Mayuri> "Ask him to figure out our types or something."
  377. Jul 19 15:09:18 * Mayuri notes to feed Rammy silly things later.
  378. Jul 19 15:09:29 <Knox> "Aren't you a bit young for that?"
  379. Jul 19 15:09:49 * Lesieli notes to watch out for that sly grin hidden on Mayuri's face
  380. Jul 19 15:09:59 * Mayuri blinks
  381. Jul 19 15:10:05 <Mayuri> "Like... elemental types?"
  382. Jul 19 15:10:10 <Knox> "..."
  383. Jul 19 15:10:13 <Knox> "...Oh."
  384. Jul 19 15:10:21 <Aori_Radidjiu> "That's not really...Auras don't do that directly..."
  385. Jul 19 15:10:34 <Melons> "Perhaps you can at the very least figure out what I am?"
  386. Jul 19 15:11:01 <Mayuri> "If I wanted the other sort of types, I'd be asking the girl."
  387. Jul 19 15:11:02 <Aori_Radidjiu> "There's a hint of it, but you guys can read 'em anyway with those glasses, so I don't think- you're a crazy ass bitch, is what you are, don't want any of whatever the fuck is up with you."
  388. Jul 19 15:11:30 * Knox snorts
  389. Jul 19 15:11:38 <Melons> "...so if I were to offer freedom to the two of you in exchange for you to be my disciplies...no go?"
  390. Jul 19 15:11:41 <Lesieli> "Ooh ooh, mine too"
  391. Jul 19 15:12:01 <Aori_Radidjiu> "What about my sisters?
  392. Jul 19 15:12:02 <Aori_Radidjiu> "
  393. Jul 19 15:12:10 <Aori_Radidjiu> He motions to the OTHER THREE
  394. Jul 19 15:12:14 <Knox> "Are they the ones in the dumb helmets, then?"
  395. Jul 19 15:12:32 <Melons> Melanie's sneer disappears completely. "I will ensure they are taken care of and safe, by whatever metric you choose."
  396. Jul 19 15:12:32 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Triplets, got crazy fashion sense, I'll never figure it out."
  397. Jul 19 15:12:33 * Knox hasn't forgotten the silly daft punk icons
  398. Jul 19 15:12:41 <Melons> 4d6+4 Obligatory Guile.
  399. Jul 19 15:12:42 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Obligatory Guile.: 19 [4d6=6,1,2,6]
  400. Jul 19 15:13:09 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I guess being triplets makes you think about being mass-produced or something."
  401. Jul 19 15:13:27 <Aori_Radidjiu> 6d6+3 >Guile against an Aura person
  402. Jul 19 15:13:28 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, >Guile against an Aura person: 27 [6d6=6,2,4,6,5,1]
  403. Jul 19 15:13:33 <Melons> Melanie isn't lying.
  404. Jul 19 15:13:40 <Knox> "Weird shit, but whatever. We can arrange avoiding prison if you work for us, sure. Or Melanie in this case, I guess."
  405. Jul 19 15:14:29 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I'll work for anybody but her. Anybody."
  406. Jul 19 15:15:26 <Mayuri> 5d6+4 You need aura to see through Mel lying? (Maybe)
  407. Jul 19 15:15:26 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, You need aura to see through Mel lying? (Maybe): 21 [5d6=4,3,2,2,6]
  408. Jul 19 15:15:34 <Melons> "I suppose Mack would love to have someone to tell his stories to. She's mine though." She points her thumb at Shyla.
  409. Jul 19 15:15:39 <Melons> Melanie isn't lying, still!
  410. Jul 19 15:15:58 <Mayuri> "... why are you.. like, claiming her?"
  411. Jul 19 15:16:20 <Aori_Radidjiu> Shyla is trying very hard to get some distance between her and you. Since she's all bound up, it's not terrible effective
  412. Jul 19 15:16:26 <Mackenzie> "I wanted to leave them with HQ."
  413. Jul 19 15:16:28 * Melons answers Mayuri by simply pointing at her head.
  414. Jul 19 15:16:46 <Mackenzie> "You know, protective custody or whatever."
  415. Jul 19 15:17:08 <Melons> "Had it not occurred to you the false Lecia couldn't more than likely easily waltz in and have them moved elsewhere at her whim?"
  416. Jul 19 15:17:12 <Melons> -n't
  417. Jul 19 15:17:18 <Mayuri> "The thing you have a crazy god in?"
  418. Jul 19 15:18:00 <Melons> "Not to mention, having a telepath is more than useful."
  419. Jul 19 15:18:12 <Lesieli> "Hmm, I kinda need some disciples myself, but I'm not sure what I'd do with 'em yet. Maybe in a bit I could give you the same offer she's offering~" She points her thumb at Mel
  420. Jul 19 15:18:46 <Mackenzie> "Why do you think the false Lecia is like fully aware of where our HQ is and able and willing to do stupid things with such a capability and not like, actual subterfuge?"
  421. Jul 19 15:18:55 <Knox> "We good, then? We good." He draws a knife from his boot and cuts Pierce free. "You try anything and you'll regret it. Otherwise, welcome aboard."
  422. Jul 19 15:19:33 <Melons> "Because we're not competent as an organization enough to prevent her from knowing."
  423. Jul 19 15:20:32 <Melons> "Besides, we have Knox on board, and I'd be an awful person to not realize how similar their situations are."
  424. Jul 19 15:21:33 <Mayuri> "Depends on what Mele's tecahing~"
  425. Jul 19 15:22:05 * Knox snorts. "They're not -that- similar. We both worked for Aether, but these five have gotten off lucky compared to us. I don't expect things to suddenly be buddy buddy here but once they find out just who they were working for I'm going to be expecting their full cooperation."
  426. Jul 19 15:22:43 * Knox goes to free the triplets too.
  427. Jul 19 15:22:55 <Melons> "Knox, consider what would happen had we not caught them after they failed, rather than Aether picking them back up."
  428. Jul 19 15:23:28 <Aori_Radidjiu> Pierce gets up, stretching his muscles, and walks over to Shyla, staring Mel down. "Do you mind?"
  429. Jul 19 15:23:53 <Knox> "You think Kanaloa would have claimed them too?"
  430. Jul 19 15:23:54 <Knox> "Eh."
  431. Jul 19 15:24:03 <Melons> "I meant death mostly."
  432. Jul 19 15:24:12 <Knox> "Yeah, death either way."
  433. Jul 19 15:24:47 <Melons> "Well, Kanaloa actually apparently often lets people b- nevermind." She looks up at Pierce with a smile. "I do."
  434. Jul 19 15:26:45 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I'd appreciate it if you got your hands off my lady and let me cut her free."
  435. Jul 19 15:27:38 <Melons> "But I will concede..." Melanie pulls a rather dull kitchen knife out and hands it to Pierce. "...as far as your sisters are concerned...well I'm sure they could help the captain, or in the kitchen, or Luna with our show, or join Mele's troupe.
  436. Jul 19 15:28:00 * Knox stares at Melanie. What happened to her style of speech?
  437. Jul 19 15:28:05 <Knox> 1d6 intuition
  438. Jul 19 15:28:06 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, intuition: 4 [1d6=4]
  439. Jul 19 15:28:17 <Mayuri> "Yeah. She wants to bring back worship of the old Wakinese gods or something."
  440. Jul 19 15:28:47 <Knox> "...anyway this took much longer than it needed to."
  441. Jul 19 15:28:51 <Knox> "I'm going back on deck."
  442. Jul 19 15:28:56 * Knox heads back up.
  443. Jul 19 15:29:00 <Melons> Are you expecting consistency from Melanie?
  444. Jul 19 15:29:22 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I'd prefer my if my sisters were kept out of this. Any safe place to put them?" He eyes the knife wearily, before cutting Shyla free and giving her a big hug. "You all right Shy?"
  445. Jul 19 15:30:00 <Melons> "Unless you know of a safehouse, with us is the safest for a bit...oh, Hermit would probably work out...could teach them some useful things too, rather than thuggery."
  446. Jul 19 15:30:26 <Melons> "But we can deal with that later! Welcome to the boat, Apprentice~!" Melanie follows Knox up.
  447. Jul 19 15:31:34 <Aori_Radidjiu> Shy doesn't say anything, but hugs him back. The TRIPLETS are all asleep, drooling. They're three identical blonde girls, sleeping almost identically.
  448. Jul 19 15:32:04 <Knox> Oh, and before he goes, Knox gives one final comment to Pierce. "Stay out of the infirmary, by the way."
  449. Jul 19 15:33:14 * Lesieli checks on how Rammy's doing with the phone
  450. Jul 19 15:36:10 <Aori_Radidjiu> Rammy DINGS!
  451. Jul 19 15:36:17 <Melons> Grats.
  452. Jul 19 15:36:29 <Lesieli> Yay, cookies are done!
  453. Jul 19 15:36:35 <Lesieli> I mean, what's the result?
  454. Jul 19 15:37:56 <Aori_Radidjiu> It spits out a holoscreen of all the deleted data, first. A bunch of texts, no other ones from that same un-labeled number (although there are a few other un-labeled numbers that look like jobs, the formatting of the info is completely different for every one, so they seem like from different people), a bunch of texts with Pierce...which start getting raunchy...and oh god the deleted
  455. Jul 19 15:37:57 <Aori_Radidjiu> photos yep yep that's not safe for work why do you gotta' send all your nudies to your boyfriend like that.
  456. Jul 19 15:39:44 <Lesieli> Oh come on, there are children in the room here! Dumb machine
  457. Jul 19 15:39:56 <Aori_Radidjiu> Next, is an analysis of that phone number...according to the online records, it's a wakino number, that's for sure, and it belongs to a "Hilda Skyflow" or something.
  458. Jul 19 15:41:00 <Melons> Mel stops to grab something from the freezer, quickly rubbing away a tear caused by noticing some of the leftover pot scrapings, and taps Mack on the shoulder.
  459. Jul 19 15:42:25 <Mackenzie> "...Yeah?"
  460. Jul 19 15:43:08 * Knox is just leaning on the railing of the ship at this moment, a bunch of different thoughts going through his head.
  461. Jul 19 15:43:12 <Melons> "Happy birthday or something." She holds out what looks like one of those insulating lunch box things. "You can open it up, but I don't recommend touching what's inside with your bare hands."
  462. Jul 19 15:43:13 <DiceMaid-9001> HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
  463. Jul 19 15:43:14 * DiceMaid-9001 throws confetti around! Yaaay!
  464. Jul 19 15:43:23 * Mayuri banises DiceMaid-9001 >:T
  465. Jul 19 15:43:27 <Melons> Fuck off, Dicey.
  466. Jul 19 15:44:32 <Lesieli> So, anybody recognize this . . . hey where'd everyone go?
  467. Jul 19 15:44:44 <Mayuri> 1d20+1 Not There! AC vs Dicey
  468. Jul 19 15:44:44 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, Not There! AC vs Dicey: 18 [1d20=17]
  469. Jul 19 15:44:58 <Mayuri> 6d12+35+32 Stupid dicebot. :T
  470. Jul 19 15:44:59 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, Stupid dicebot. :T: 86 [6d12=2,2,1,5,7,2]
  471. Jul 19 15:45:01 <Aori_Radidjiu> (Seems like she likes getting molested)
  472. Jul 19 15:45:03 * Mayuri is still here!
  473. Jul 19 15:45:31 * Mackenzie looks at it, confused. "Er... Thanks?" Then he opens it.
  474. Jul 19 15:46:23 <Melons> Ho, shit, cold seems to radiate from inside, despite the fact that's not how cold works. It's a sample if Ice-Nine. "Should give it to Cindy."
  475. Jul 19 15:46:51 <Mackenzie> "What... is this?"
  476. Jul 19 15:47:00 <Mayuri> "So. What does being Mele's apprentice thing supposed to imply?"
  477. Jul 19 15:47:33 <Melons> "Basically super scientific ice that makes ice types stronger, helps them stand the heat of climates like this, and they can also do some badass things with it."
  478. Jul 19 15:48:24 <Melons> "You can use it yourself too, but since you aren't very cool, you'd have to charge it back up in a freezer or something overnight...also you still shouldn't touch it if you want to use it."
  479. Jul 19 15:48:33 <Melons> "Unless you need frostbite for your next role."
  480. Jul 19 15:49:07 <Mackenzie> "Hm. This stuff is pretty cool." By his inflection, he probably doesn't mean awesome cool.
  481. Jul 19 15:49:15 <Melons> "Get out."
  482. Jul 19 15:49:49 <Lesieli> "Hmm? Disciple, not apprentice, and I'm still figuring that stuff out atm"
  483. Jul 19 15:50:39 <Melons> Without waiting for a word of thanks, Melanie turns to go sit at the very front of the deck or something to stare at the ocean.
  484. Jul 19 15:50:45 <Mackenzie> "Alright." Mack begins to leave. "This stuff isn't illegal, is it?"
  485. Jul 19 15:51:25 <Mayuri> "But... you're already inviting people?"
  486. Jul 19 15:51:30 <Melons> "Probably not, Rhenea gave it to me." Gone.
  487. Jul 19 15:54:06 <Lesieli> "Not quite, but I suppose it's never too early? Gotta get started if we wanna get anywhere soon"
  488. Jul 19 15:54:27 * Mackenzie retreats back to his room, and doth verily probably give it to Cindy. One gift down, and he didn't even have to spend anything!
  489. Jul 19 15:56:43 <Mayuri> "And.... where do you plan on going?"
  490. Jul 19 15:59:45 <Lesieli> "Uhhh . . . like I said, still figuring this all out? Should know soon enough!"
  491. Jul 19 16:01:54 * Knox eventually goes back to his room and possibly Auriga to take a nap or other things
  492. Jul 19 16:04:19 <Mayuri> "I wanna get to know you sometime~ I mean, you have a fluffy sheep, so, you gotta be fun to talk to."
  493. Jul 19 16:07:44 <Lesieli> "But you do know me? I mean, we've been living on this boat together for awhile now.
  494. Jul 19 16:10:03 <Aori_Radidjiu> Its started raining, although not heavily. Lani would've waited if there were a heavy storm. The boat chugs along, across the sea, to a big mountain in the distance...
  495. Jul 19 16:10:25 <Aori_Radidjiu> /session
