You Wouldn't Pirate an Island of Merbitches

[19:16:19] <~Aori_Radidjiu> MONDAY, MAY 3RD, 1 PM.  After beating up Kalili for being socrazy, the police came in on Lysandr's calling and have put her in custody (and taken to treating her)  The group is probably either at where the fight was, staying to talk to the police, going to rest at a pokemon center (or Mako's house, or Lysandrsis' house, or the boat) or some weird place, I don't know.  The rain has
[19:16:20] <~Aori_Radidjiu> cleared up by now, and you can do whatever you want~
[19:19:08] * Mako takes his super injured team to the Pokecenter first, since most of them are pretty banged up.
[19:19:14] * Doxy is now known as Lysandr
[19:19:45] * Lysandr takes Ivy to the pokecenter too, while talking to the police.
[19:20:02] * Melons also does that, but probably also makes sure the two unconscious motherfuckers are okay? I guess they probably got taken to the hospital.
[19:20:57] <~Aori_Radidjiu> The police, Lysandr is told, have had to put a bunch of girls in the slammer lately for misbehavior.  Its been keeping them pretty busy!
[19:21:42] <Mako> Yeah, let's make sure Mack and Med get medical attention.
[19:23:14] <~Aori_Radidjiu> To the Pokemon Center!  The nurse there (with her perfect pink hair and ivory skin, it's like they mass produce them) takes all of your Pokeballs and puts htem in the healing machine, and a Chansey  comesu p and starts bandaging all of you up and giving you bits of Softboiled egg to eat~
[19:23:43] * Melons doesn't accept bits of egg from strangers.
[19:23:43] * Lysandr eats it because its probably perfectly normal in the Pokeworld. But his player is like, ew.
[19:24:04] * Mako eats it but doesn't enjoy it one bit.
[19:27:09] * Ramiel is now known as Lesieli
[19:27:13] <Mako> "I think I need to talk to my brother. Maybe both of them."
[19:28:15] <Melons> Mel is grinning despite the fucked up situation. "Then call 'em up!"
[19:30:01] <~Aori_Radidjiu> In the center, on the many couches and beds available for people to use, is a bespectacled girl knitting a grey Goomy sweater, a young man reading what looks to be an encyclopedia or some other big textbook, occasionally putting in little sticky bookmarks on pages, writing down notes in a book.
[19:30:09] * Mako takes out his phone and does that, dialing Dai while he waits.
[19:30:42] <~Aori_Radidjiu> You get Dai's voice mail, seems he's still busy.
[19:35:01] <Mako> "He's pretending to be busy." Mako stands up. "So I'll have to go find him."
[19:37:04] <~Aori_Radidjiu> A handful of police officers escorted you all to the Center, but they've left by now.
[19:37:12] <Melons> "Okay...guess I'll call the boat people so they have some idea of what happened?" Shrug.
[19:37:28] <Melons> BEEPBOOPBOPBERP went Mel's phone.
[19:37:34] <Melons> Probably to call Mirai.
[19:37:36] <Mako> "That'd probably be good. They should probably stay on the boat for a bit."
[19:39:47] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Click.  "Hello?"  She yaaaaawns, and there's the sound of rustling covers.
[19:40:47] <Melons> "Heeeeeeey, sooooooooooo, shit went down, islanders started raging, the gym leader bitch tried to murder Mako after turning into a...a...thing, then we all beat her, and now shit's being investigated. So...you guys should probably be careful!"
[19:41:05] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Oh....okay.'
[19:41:22] * Lysandr goes to the police station to investigate the girls that have been affected and tries to see what they have in common! Besides double X chromosomes
[19:42:12] * Mako waves for Mel to follow. "Wanna come with or did he scare you off last time?"
[19:42:18] <~Aori_Radidjiu> The police are still trying ot investigate them all and doesn't have any real leads yet, but they let you question any of the girls they've put in jail for now if you want~!
[19:43:07] * Lysandr doesn't do that because oh god talking to people
[19:43:30] <Melons> "I'm not afraid of his dick!...that dick...I'm still on the phone...bye Mirai!" Click.
[19:43:37] * Vandaeron is now known as Mackenzie
[19:43:52] <Mako> "You should be afraid of it, you don't know where it's been."
[19:44:54] <Melons> "...I do have a sword."
[19:45:39] <Mako> "Eh, probably won't do much, but I'm gonna end up yelling at him, that usually takes most of his attention." He gets out of the center and starts back to the dojo.
[19:45:59] * Melons follows.
[19:48:41] * Roara (chaos@sux-83214E93.lightspeed.ltrkar.sbcglobal.net) has joined #YouAreAPirate
[19:49:08] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Over to the dojo you go!  It takes a few moments to get there, and rather than gettin gsomeone thrown at you as you go to the door, you hear a THUMP near one of hte walls beofre you open the door.
[19:49:29] * Mako slides open the door dramatically. "We need to talk."
[19:52:31] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Dai is in th emiddle of blocking and countering a trainee's attack as you come in, he sends the poor trainee flying!  "Now?  Well, it is almost time to end..."  He considers it, and then nods, yelling out an order to the trainees.  "...everyone, bow!"  All the trainees (these are about red belt level) get ina  line and bow.  "Continue your training!"  they all nod and start filing out,
[19:52:31] <~Aori_Radidjiu> as Dai starts walking to you, frowning.
[19:52:48] * Roara is now known as Med
[19:53:12] <Mako> "Don't -you- frown at me. Kalili just tried to kill me, so you better start talking."
[19:53:23] <Mako> He pokes Dai in the chest.
[19:53:28] * Melons peeps around Mako at the trainees out of curiosity.
[19:54:28] <Mackenzie> Mack is probably still asleep in the center, and Ross is probably still out watching him.
[19:55:10] <~Aori_Radidjiu> His eyebrow quirks.  "Tried to kill you?"
[19:55:35] <Melons> "Are mutants common here?"
[19:55:47] <Mako> "Yeah, apparently she could tell that I've got this divine spark or whatever and it sounds like you do, too, so what the hell have you been hiding?"
[19:56:18] <~Aori_Radidjiu> He closes his eyes, his hand going over his mouth in thought.  "Divine spark..."
[19:56:46] * Mako growls and shoves Dai. "You're not answering my questions!"
[19:57:36] <Melons> "The storms and shit."
[19:59:51] <~Aori_Radidjiu> He doesn't budge a bit.  "If I had to guess, I'd say it'd be Raijin's blessing.  Mother's family has worshipped Raijin for a long time, that could be it, maybe there's a reason for it?  I don't really know anything else about that."  He shakes his head.
[20:00:22] <Melons> "Tell him about when you met Raijin, Mako!"
[20:01:24] <Mako> "She made it sound like you already have it." He squints at Dai. "Maybe you don't." Mako looks back at Mel. "We have to take care of this Sea God thing."
[20:01:48] <Melons> "Well it COULD be related, aren't gods supposedly always getting up in each other's shits?"
[20:02:40] <Mako> "Raijin and Fuujin seemed pretty relaxed, except for the whole 'Fuujin missing parts of his face' thing."
[20:05:38] <~Aori_Radidjiu> His eyes open, his frown deepening.  "I don't know too much about this, I just know that she never wanted to meet me on the days of a full moon...a lot of girls around here are like that..."
[20:05:56] <Melons> "Wait, a lot of girls around here are FUCKING SEA WITCHES?!"
[20:06:31] <Mako> "How did I not know this?"
[20:09:16] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "I know this because I've dated a lot of women around here, there's only a few girls around here who will date on the day of a full moon."
[20:09:49] <Mako> "So the whole town is full of sea witches or mermaids or whatever."
[20:10:25] <Melons> "You...you grew up here...and you never...how could you...WHAT?!"
[20:10:32] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "I guess!"
[20:11:01] * Mako pinkens. "It's not like I go out with girls."
[20:12:09] <Melons> "But there MUST HAVE BEEN RU- oh fuck, wait, if they're ALL sea bitches, and sea bitch prime be trippin', did we just invite their wrath on us or did we calm them down for now?"
[20:12:49] * Botherer (Botherer@sux-56822542.nycmny.fios.verizon.net) has joined #YouAreAPirate
[20:13:28] <Mako> "I...don't actually know?"
[20:13:40] <Mako> "The rain stopped, so that's probably good."
[20:14:38] <Melons> "OROROR now there's a fucking hurricane coming. Okay, um...full moons and sea hags...what local legends are there about this shit? Like mermaids and all that?"
[20:15:29] <Mako> 2d6 wrong person for that
[20:15:30] <DiceMaid-9001> Mako, wrong person for that: 10 [2d6=4,6]
[20:17:29] <Melons> 4d6+4 Mel flips open her phone and fiddles with it.
[20:17:31] <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Mel flips open her phone and fiddles with it.: 21 [4d6=6,3,5,3]
[20:18:11] <Med> 6d6+6+2 charm nurse joy
[20:18:12] <DiceMaid-9001> Med, charm nurse joy: 34 [6d6=3,6,6,5,2,4]
[20:18:48] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Mako has heard that there's a tribe of mermaids...somewhere.
[20:18:54] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Just a local legend
[20:20:42] * Lesieli ponders all this info.  It's like I'm really in one of those crazy internet stories
[20:20:55] <Lesieli> 5d6+6 Let's Occult too
[20:20:56] <DiceMaid-9001> Lesieli, Let's Occult too: 29 [5d6=6,2,5,5,5]
[20:21:21] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Mel fiiiiinds a forum discussion about mermaids on /x/, someone has started a topic about some weird shit that happened on the last full moon, bunch of splashing in th eocean and singing.  They think they were just dreaming.  They leave off with saying that they think it's mermaids because they live in MERMAID HAVEN, although lots of weird things happen there.
[20:21:48] * Mackenzie finally wakes up in the center, and gathers in his surroundings. "Did we lose?"
[20:21:51] <Mackenzie> 1d6+2 did we lose
[20:21:52] <DiceMaid-9001> Mackenzie, did we lose: 7 [1d6=5]
[20:21:53] <Melons> "...there's a place called fucking MERMAID HAVEN AND YOU COULDN'T COME UP WITH THIS?!" She mad.
[20:22:15] <Mako> "I thought it was just a name."
[20:22:55] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Lesieli has read a book about Kanaloa, the chief ocean deity of Wakino!  Supposedly, he would have affairs with human women and leave some of his power in their daughters, although he refused to allow men to share any of his power.
[20:23:02] * Mackenzie had heard that if you lose in a pokemon battle, you pass out and wake up in a pokemon center
[20:23:04] <Med> Meanwhile, Med knows valuable information (because she has awesome brothers UNLIKE MAKO), but is probably still sleeping in a hospital bed.
[20:23:28] * Lysandr is maybe somewhere? Probably doesn't know anything useful though.
[20:25:03] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Mackenzie!  Ther'es a smiling nurse, a sleeping Med, a girl knitting a sweater, and a guy looking through a thick book, taking notes and putting in bookmarks.  None of hte others are around.  Ross jumps up at you waking up.  "Rose!"
[20:25:10] <~Aori_Radidjiu> He's smiling, doesn't seem upset.
[20:27:01] <Mako> "So, Mermaid Haven then?" I don't think Kalili is likely to give up a lot of information."
[20:27:26] <Melons> "We should probably still try...or you should try...or shit if she DOESN'T want to see you, I should try?"
[20:27:30] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Lysandr...didn't find much at the police department.  There's some notes about who's been jaile,d and a few of them are visitors from Mermaid Haven, or people who have relatives there, but that's kind of hard to notice in the big info dump.
[20:28:26] * Mako rubs the back of his neck. "I can try, as long as she can't try to eat me again."
[20:29:47] * Mackenzie yawns. "...Oh! Hello, Ross. If you're here, and still out... Does that mean you cleaned them up after I got knocked out?" He puts a hand on Ross's head, but not on the... spikes... "Thank you, Ross. I think you might make a better swashbuckler than I."
[20:30:01] <Med> 6d6+6+2 sleep adorably at least
[20:30:02] <DiceMaid-9001> Med, sleep adorably at least: 30 [6d6=6,1,4,3,6,2]
[20:30:02] <Mackenzie> "Is anybody else here?"
[20:30:10] <Melons> "If she does I'll pop her in the jaw or something! I mean, hell, did you SEE us that fight? Yeah we took some hits, but we weren't fucking retards about it!" Grin.
[20:30:14] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Ross nods.  "Li!"  He points out Med.
[20:30:45] <Melons> "I should note by 'we' I mean you, with regards to the retards."
[20:31:07] <Mako> "I'm not sure if that was a compliment."
[20:32:04] <Melons> "Be glad it wasn't actively an insult! Alright, if tall, dark, and useless hasn't got anything to add, let's go shoot a fish in the barrel!" Mel begins skipping out to the secret police hospital that clearly exists.
[20:32:55] * Mako looks at Dai. "Yeah! And tell Shin to stay away from the crazy girls until we take care of this."
[20:34:36] <~Aori_Radidjiu> He grins.  "It's a bit late for that, I think.  Don't know if she's THAT kind of crazy girl or not, but she seems crazy, with the little I've seen her."
[20:35:07] <Melons> "Wait, didn't you date?"
[20:35:16] <Mako> "Ah!" He covers his ears as he walks out. "I don't wanna hear it, shut up and beat up some kids or whatever!"
[20:35:46] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Date Kalili?  Yes.  I was talking about Shin, I don't know the girl, but he's been involved with some girl!"
[20:37:22] <Melons> "Oh...Mako, warn him while I go gut a fish!" Mel officially sprints off to find Kalili now.
[20:37:46] <Mako> "Fine, I'll get him." Time to call the other brother.
[20:38:15] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Shin doesn't answer, you ALSO get his voice mail.  Come OOOOOON
[20:38:45] * Med continues to sleep?! Maybe she'll wake up?! Unless almost drowning gave her extra injuries, she's not actually all that badly hurt though.
[20:38:55] <~Aori_Radidjiu> It didn't!
[20:39:23] * Mako puts his phone away and decides to take a walk, then. He'll just check the usual spots!
[20:40:07] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Off Mako goes, to the shoreline!  "shoreline"
[20:40:15] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Edge of the city, pretty much.
[20:40:53] <Mackenzie> "Oh, Med's here too.  Maybe she fared better than I did."  Mack gets up slowly and walks over to her, then puts his hand on her shoulder.  "Hey."
[20:41:27] <Med> 1d6-1 this is med's guile, are you sure she can pretend to be asleep
[20:41:28] <DiceMaid-9001> Med, this is med's guile, are you sure she can pretend to be asleep: 4 [1d6=5]
[20:41:30] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Mel (and maybe Lesieli) runs off to the police station and finds Lysandr trying to gather info there, amidst the general activity of the police station.
[20:42:01] <Med> 6d6+6+2 be adorable enough that they pretend to buy the fact she's pretending to be asleep
[20:42:02] <DiceMaid-9001> Med, be adorable enough that they pretend to buy the fact she's pretending to be asleep: 30 [6d6=4,4,5,3,4,2]
[20:43:07] * Med wakes up. OH GOD MACK SHE HAS RED EYES, YOUR GIRLFRIEND'S NOW A DEMON!
[20:44:05] <Melons> "Lysandr! Where's the fish?"
[20:44:16] <Lysandr> "Wha? What fish?"
[20:44:20] <Melons> "The fish we caught!"
[20:44:31] <Lysandr> "... Kalili?"
[20:44:34] <Melons> "YES!"
[20:44:34] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Kalili was in the slammer, among other girls.  She's still unconscious, though.
[20:44:45] <Lysandr> "She's locked up of course."
[20:45:01] <Melons> "I need to taaaaalk to her!"
[20:45:12] <Lysandr> "She's also unconscious."
[20:45:21] * Mako looks over the pretend shoreline. "Shin, are you out here?"
[20:45:36] <Melons> "Then I'll wait...or use shenanigans. Do I have shenanigans? I might have shenanigans?...do the police keep psychic types on hand for this shit?"
[20:45:52] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Shin pops out o fthe water, despite the fact there was no sign of him a minute ago!  "I sure am!"
[20:46:29] <Mako> "Kalili just tried to kill me. If you're dating a mermaid, you should probably hold off on that."
[20:46:46] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "She's not a mermaid!  She's a sea nymph!"
[20:47:09] <Mackenzie> 1d6+1 notice eye redness
[20:47:09] <DiceMaid-9001> Mackenzie, notice eye redness: 6 [1d6=5]
[20:47:10] <Mako> "Is that...different?"
[20:47:26] * Mackenzie kisses Med on the cheek as she wakes up.
[20:47:37] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Completely!"
[20:47:56] <~Aori_Radidjiu> You're not sure Shin has any idea what you're talking about,anyway.
[20:48:11] <Mako> "Can you get out of the water so we can talk?"
[20:49:36] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Shin climbs up onto the boardwalk near you, smiling, hands at his hips.  "What's up?"
[20:49:55] <Melons> "Lyyyyyyys, lead me to heeeeer!"
[20:50:11] <Lysandr> "She's uh, right there."
[20:50:14] * Lysandr points across the room.
[20:50:20] * Mako hugs him first because he's the good brother. "I got blessed by Raijin and Kalili went nuts and tried to eat my heart or something, apparently mermaids live in town and are going nuts."
[20:50:32] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Kalili's sleeping in a cell, a blanket draped over her.
[20:50:55] <Melons> "Well, let me in there or something!"
[20:50:58] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Cool."
[20:51:25] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "That's a really cool story, bro.  You seen how Haikili's been?"
[20:51:33] <Med> "What happened?" asks a sleepy demonic Med.
[20:52:33] <Mako> "Fat and exceptionally annoying?"
[20:53:00] <Mackenzie> "We were fighting that...  monster...  woman...  thing.  I got knocked out, but apparently enough we made it out of there."
[20:53:06] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Okay damn, I dont' have any cool stories to match yours."
[20:53:19] * Melons is probably hanging onto the bars and yelling to be let in in a manner most conspicuous.
[20:53:39] <~Aori_Radidjiu> A police officer comes by Mel...
[20:54:13] <Mako> "I just wanted to make sure your girlfriend wasn't eating your heart or something."
[20:55:29] <~Aori_Radidjiu> 1d20 Called Shot JUDO CHOP
[20:55:29] <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, Called Shot JUDO CHOP: 10 [1d20=10]
[20:56:15] <~Aori_Radidjiu> AC 4+2-2
[20:56:19] <Med> "Oh..." Med sits up and looks around the room to see if any of her mons are around. She remembers calling Blues back but not much after that!
[20:56:44] <~Aori_Radidjiu> -1 Spd stage!  Mel  feels sluggish.  "Calm down, you!"
[20:57:56] <~Aori_Radidjiu> He starts rummaging through keys and eventually finds the right one, unlocking the cell.  "There you go, miss."  He's got his eyes on you, though!  He's an older police officer, with a few graying hairs.
[20:58:36] * Lesieli chuckles.  Serves her right
[20:58:58] <Melons> Mel lets out a surprised gasp, still fairly winded from the previous battle. "Listen you fuck, if it weren't for me THAT thing probably would have killed some motherfuckers, so PARDON ME if my needs are a LITTLE more important than you deciding what to have for lunch."
[20:59:20] <~Aori_Radidjiu> His green, serious eyes stare into your eyes.
[20:59:26] <~Aori_Radidjiu> 5d6+3 Intimidate
[20:59:27] <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, Intimidate: 19 [5d6=2,5,4,4,1]
[20:59:57] <~Aori_Radidjiu> he's looking right through you.  HOw through you, though?  (Guile check)
[21:00:38] <Melons> 4d6+4 FUCK THE POLICE
[21:00:39] <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, FUCK THE POLICE: 18 [4d6=3,2,5,4]
[21:00:55] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Ohgodhe's seeingthrough everybit of you aaaaaaaaaaaaaa
[21:02:10] * Melons feels the urge to vomit but fights that down as she turns on her heel to skulk over to Kalili.
[21:03:36] <Melons> Foot tap. "You awake?"
[21:03:41] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Kalili is still snooooozing.
[21:04:34] <Melons> Koa go. "Koa, can you do shenanigans to talk to sleepin' vagrants?"
[21:05:03] <~Aori_Radidjiu> [Not really, but I think I can jumpstart her waking up.]
[21:05:26] <~Aori_Radidjiu> MEANWHILE, Shin frowns.  "Eeeeh< I wouldn't really call her a girlfriend...more like she's a girl and a friend..."
[21:05:29] <Melons> "'kay!"
[21:05:56] <Mako> "Oh, okay. Like Dai and Maddy."
[21:06:27] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Koa pulses a wave of [Wake up.] directly to Kalili's soul.
[21:06:43] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Shin tilts his head.  "Kiiiind of, but kiiiind of not..."
[21:07:24] <Mako> "So, more like, you want her to be your girlfriend but she isn't?" Straight people.
[21:08:51] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Kiiind of?"  He tilts his head the other way.
[21:09:10] <Mako> "I don't understand."
[21:10:17] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Kalili jumps up in her bed, looking around in shock, then looks at Mel, blinking, pulling the blanket on her closer.  "Oh, you."
[21:10:51] <Melons> "You still crazy?"
[21:11:19] <Lesieli> "You think she'd say if she was?"
[21:11:37] <Melons> "I would." Shrug.
[21:11:39] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "I've got a headache, if that counts."
[21:12:58] <Melons> "Noted! Do you remember being a sea bitch?"
[21:13:40] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Do you remember being a nosy bitch?"
[21:14:01] <Melons> "Always! Now you answer."
[21:14:27] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Somewhat?  It's all a bit cloudy, and you're not helping my headache."
[21:14:48] <Melons> "Tough shit. What do you know of Mermaid Haven?"
[21:16:04] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "That's...where my grandmother lives.  And my mother, now, and..."  Her eyes narrow, staring into space.  "That's where I'm supposed to go when I don't feel human anymore."
[21:16:22] <Melons> "Do you still feel human?"
[21:16:58] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Do you still feel like a bitch?"  she shakes her head.  "Yeah, pretty much."
[21:17:39] <Melons> "Hey, you answered WITH the retort that time, PROGRESS! Alright, what the fuck exactly happens on these full moons? For you AND all of the others. And about how many others are there?"
[21:19:33] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Our human forms start to fall apart, and we can only partially retain them, that's why we're called mermaids, since a lot of us end up losing our legs and take to the seas.  But regardless, just because I'm one doesn't mean I know how many there are, it's like you knowing how many nosy bitches there are."
[21:21:02] <Melons> "7% self identify as nosy bitches, and 62% of survey takers report knowing at least one nosy bitch. So we might have to kill your patron, is that a problem? Fucker's been aaaaaaaawfully aggressive lately."
[21:23:38] <Mackenzie> "So...  That rain...  Do you think that's how people were subjected to that...  anger reaction?"  Mack is sitting on the bed or whatever Med was resting on.
[21:24:19] <Med> 3d6+6 did it look like the rain might have been a medium for that? i don't think it did
[21:24:20] <DiceMaid-9001> Med, did it look like the rain might have been a medium for that? i don't think it did: 21 [3d6=5,4,6]
[21:24:34] <~Aori_Radidjiu> It didn't.
[21:25:14] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Shin's tilting his head back to where it was again.  "IIII dunno', I guess I kind of like her that way, but we kind o fhave a...business relationship?  Complicated to explain, I don't want to give ALL the details."
[21:25:23] * Med shakes her head. "I don't think so..."
[21:25:58] <Mako> "I think now you're obligated to explain."
[21:27:06] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Kalili sighs.  "I might have to kill you, is that a problem?  You've been aaaaaaawfully noisy lately." Then shakes her head.  "I really don't care, maybe I'll be normal if he dies, although I think the balance of the region or whatever will be screwed up, I don't know the whole details."
[21:27:29] <Mackenzie> "Then what was causing it?  And what might...  evil rain, or whatever do to people?  It can't be healthy."
[21:28:29] <Med> "I don't know... I think it was just... in the air or something..."
[21:29:01] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Med's intuition tells her it had more to do with the source than the result.
[21:29:14] <Melons> "I look foooorward to it~!" Grin. "Hmmmmmm...also, you're a gym leader aaaaaren't you?" :3
[21:29:23] <Med> huhwhat
[21:29:35] <~Aori_Radidjiu> As in, the rain probably came from a shadowy thing
[21:29:40] <Med> oh
[21:29:42] <~Aori_Radidjiu> But it wasn't really shadowy itself
[21:30:05] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Just had its maker's fingerprint, if you want to put it that way.
[21:30:44] <Med> "I don't know if the rain was healthy or not, but... it definitely wasn't... cursing anyone too."
[21:32:05] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Yes, I am, and you all beat me up, so I GUESS you all deserve a badge, but I'm not giving you one if you keep pestering me." Glare.  "In fact, I don't like you, so you'll have to do something extra."  She nods.  "That's something we gym leaders can require, an extra test if we think the challenger isn't of the right attitude."
[21:32:29] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Smirk.
[21:33:49] * Lysandr is standing somewhere where he can listen to the conversation and not be seen, by the way! If there is such a place.
[21:34:33] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Sure is!  The view from the cell is pretty limited, since it has a wall separating it from another cell.  The girl in the next cell :|
[21:34:45] <~Aori_Radidjiu> 's and stares at Lysandr, but doesn't say anything.
[21:34:48] <Melons> "Oh, then I'll just kick your ass again later. But this mermaid thing is a more immediate threat, and we can't have you lot around mauling people. But I guess we're done here." Mel rises. "Oh...I'm not asking out of compassion for YOU, but...well...do you want to talk to Mako about any of this or would you much rather hide away in your little cell?"
[21:35:44] <~Aori_Radidjiu> She grimaces.  "I...well, I don't think I can be around him without going crazy again."
[21:35:51] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "I'd rather not."
[21:36:13] * Lysandr pays no attention to this stary girl!!!
[21:36:54] <Melons> "Sweet, I chose wisely! You want to sleep, I can help wi- oh, Lesieli, Lysandr, any o' you out there have any questions for her?" Did the policeman just leave the cell unlocked? I've seen enough movies to know that's not how you do it!
[21:37:04] <~Aori_Radidjiu> The stray girl, after :|ing for a while, slowly approaches Lysandr, trying to not get his notice.
[21:37:20] <~Aori_Radidjiu> The policeman is right by the cell door.  it's unlocked, but he's poised to lock it again any second.
[21:37:44] * Med is kind of all ._. from the discussion of cursed shadow rain and shadow curses. What if it happens to her?!
[21:38:13] * Lysandr gives the girl a dirty look as she approaches.
[21:38:43] <~Aori_Radidjiu> She scuttles back to her seat.  Damn.  Another chance to give someone a wet willy wasted.
[21:40:03] * Melons leans her head out to stare at Lysandr and Lesieli. "Questions or am I tucking her in?"
[21:40:36] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Shin starts twiddling his thumbs at Mako.  "Uh...I can't really say."  He looks off to the upper-right.
[21:40:37] <Lysandr> "I'd like to question her, yes."
[21:40:57] <Lysandr> Is there tea or coffee somewhere in the station??
[21:41:02] <Melons> "'kay!" She beckons to Koa and wanders off to find snacks.
[21:41:15] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Sure is!  There's a coffee machine that's being constantly restocked!
[21:41:30] * Mako carefully pokes Shins in the cheek to turn his head. "Really? You don't trust your big bro?"
[21:41:45] <Mako> 5d6+10 Charm
[21:41:46] <DiceMaid-9001> Mako, Charm: 24 [5d6=2,4,3,1,4]
[21:41:52] * Lysandr gets a cup off coffee on a saucer, and puts some sugar packets on there as well.
[21:41:59] <Mako> + another 3
[21:42:09] * Lysandr gets a cup for himself too, and then enters Kalili's cell, setting the coffe down next to her.
[21:42:25] * Mackenzie puts his arm around Med's shoulders. "Don't worry about this stuff. After subduing that woman last night, I'm sure we can get to the bottom of this just fine."
[21:42:36] <Lysandr> "Good evening, Miss Kalili. I thought you might be a bit chilly," he says motioning towards the coffee.
[21:43:01] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Shin leeeeeans away from your poke, smirking.  "What, you don't trust me?  I'm obligated to say nothing about it, but I can say it's nothing weird!"
[21:43:21] <Med> "What if one of us gets cursed, though? I don't wanna be like that again..." :(
[21:43:31] <Mako> "Nothing illegal either! I'd have to arrest you now, you know?"
[21:43:51] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Kalili takes the coffee and starts downing it black.  "Well, at least you have manners."
[21:44:49] <Lysandr> "Little else perhaps, but I'd like to think so." siiiip
[21:45:10] <Lysandr> "I'm Lysandr Styx, by the way, I wouldn't want to have you at a disadvantage."
[21:46:10] <~Aori_Radidjiu> She gets into a more normal sitting posture, getting the blanket off her and adjusting the straps of her bikini.  "Ah, same as Cassandra?  I see..."  She pauses a bit to sip some coffee.  "I'm not really chilly, so don't worry about that."
[21:46:52] <Lysandr> "Yes, she's my sister."
[21:48:14] <Lysandr> "I'm not sure if you remember me; you seemed to be rather... in another state of mind when we first met, but I was there during the... episode."
[21:48:29] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "That's...an accurate statement, I'd say."
[21:48:39] <Lysandr> "Could you explain to me what happened?"
[21:49:17] <Lysandr> "I'm not very acquainted with the, ah, supernatural... so this is all a bit new to me. But from a guess, you seemed to be under some sort of curse? Or... ?"
[21:49:51] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "I felt like I was in a really bad mood, and then it started escalating." Sip.  "I guess a curse is the way to put it, I'm not too sure about it either, I'm not keen on the supernatural, I'm only involved in it because i was born with it."
[21:50:26] * Melons catches the word 'curse' and listens in.
[21:50:40] <Mackenzie> "I promise that I won't let anything happen to you that I can't fix.  You can trust me.  If something happens to you, or to any of us, I swear that I won'trest until it's solved."
[21:51:10] <Lysandr> "I see. And what exactly were you born WITH? As I said, I'm entirely uninitiated here."
[21:53:27] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Another sip of coffee.  "I'm supposedly a descendant of the sea god Kanaloa, however that works.  I never cared much for it so I never listened to it much, I wanted to be a human girl, not some freaky sea witch."
[21:55:41] <Lysandr> "Ah, I see. So what we can surmise then, is that there's something affecting the mood of all the women that are descended from Kanaloa."
[21:55:48] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Right."
[21:56:12] <Lysandr> "I'm sorry you had to go through that, I can't imagine something violating my emotions like that simply because of my ancestry."
[21:56:18] * Melons makes a mental note to look up how to slay gods.
[21:56:26] <Lysandr> "I'll try to get to the bottom of whatever is causing this and put a stop to it if I can."
[21:56:57] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "It's...ugh.  I'm still in a bit of a bad mood because of it, or maybe it's just because of the attitude of that girl.  Whatever the case, I'd appreciate if you did something about it."
[21:57:25] * Med is kind of silent. After all, it's happened to her before. Logically, if she was cured once, she ought to be curable again later. She still doesn't want it to happen again though, even if it IS fixable! Will that be her life? A constant spiral of madness and sanity?! :c
[21:57:39] <Lysandr> "Of course. We can't have something manipulating our citizens like that. I'm sure once we can explain what happened, your reputation shouldn't suffer much because of it."
[21:58:05] <Lysandr> "In the meantime, I'm afraid the probably WILL want to keep you here."
[21:58:11] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Grimace.  "Good luck."  Siiiip.
[21:58:40] * Lysandr walks out of the cell, and goes to sit in the lobby.
[21:59:15] * Melons half-asses an attempt at not looking like she was listening in. "Hey Kalili, you wanna go back to sleep now?"
[21:59:40] <~Aori_Radidjiu> She frowns.  "I'm not going to be able to work because of this...fuck."  She punches the seat under her, then shakes her hand from the pain of it, glaring at her hand like it did something ot her.
[22:00:36] <Lysandr> "Hmmm."
[22:00:51] <Melons> "Don't...you have a second-in-command?"
[22:00:52] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Then she goes to glaring at Mel, not saying anything a bit before her expression calms.  "Hmmm...ah, yes.  I've got it."
[22:01:01] <Melons> "Ohfuckme."
[22:01:33] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "The modeling agency won't get as mad if I send in a substitute..."  she grins.  "Do you really want that badge?"
[22:01:47] <Melons> "...you might actually be a witch."
[22:01:56] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Not my fault."
[22:02:00] <Melons> "But...I don't want to be behind ANOTHER badge..."
[22:03:45] <~Aori_Radidjiu> She requests some paper from the policeman and scribbles something down.  "This address.  Tomorrow.  They'll let me know if someone showed up or not."
[22:05:24] <Mackenzie> "Is there anything you want to talk about, Med?  We don't want to talk about it here if you're not comfortable with it, of course, but...  We should be open about these things."
[22:05:51] <Melons> "...can I still pretend to apologize and not have to do this?"
[22:06:00] <~Aori_Radidjiu> She stares.
[22:06:38] <~Aori_Radidjiu> And then hands you the address.  "Don't muck it up."
[22:06:48] * Med is like why do i have to talk about these things i wanted to forget they ever happened ;-;
[22:06:48] <Melons> "...was the pun intentional?"
[22:07:12] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "I really don't want to sea you anymore."
[22:07:44] <Med> "It... I... I think it happened to me before... I don't remember being... as violent... but I don't remember much of it anyway..."
[22:07:51] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "I'm too cursed or whatever for this."
[22:07:58] <Melons> "That is- WAIT THAT WAS ALSO A PUN! There's hope for you yet~!" She exits the cell with a broad grin, which quickly melts into a grimacing frown because she has to lewd.
[22:09:18] <~Aori_Radidjiu> After resolving that big thing....Shin shrugs to Mako.  "Worst I'd do is recreational drugs, you know me!"
[22:10:15] <Mako> "Stay away from spirit incense, that stuff gets...weird." Electricity crackles through his hair. "And I guess that's not too bad."
[22:11:32] <Mackenzie> "Well, we're a couple, right?  Two pillars that hold up the same dream, or whatever?  We should tackle each other's problems together.  Come on, let's go to the ship."
[22:11:35] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Got it."
[22:12:08] <Med> "Sure... do you know where Chomps is?"
[22:12:22] * Mako counts on his fingers. "Alright, talked to Dai, talked to you, Mel's taking care of Kalili, I guess we should just rest up before we go fight more mermaids..."
[22:13:26] <Mackenzie> "Sorry...  I've been out cold until just now.  We should ask the nurse."
[22:13:47] * Mackenzie takes Med's hand and guides her to her feet.
[22:13:55] <Med> "Alright." Med gets out of bed! with the help of a pirate actor!
[22:15:12] <Mako> He starts to walk off, wandering towards the station.
[22:15:15] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Good luck, then bro!"
[22:15:26] <Med> "Hello, nurse!"
[22:15:30] <Med> 6d6+6+2 nope charming her first
[22:15:31] <DiceMaid-9001> Med, nope charming her first: 30 [6d6=6,6,4,1,3,2]
[22:15:48] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Hi~!"  She waves.  "Your pokemon are done being treated, you can have them back!"
[22:17:27] <Med> "Even my Deino?"
[22:17:37] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Yup!"
[22:17:50] <Med> and then Med left with a deino.
[22:17:59] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "...er, wait."
[22:18:02] <Med> (instead of a Zweilous)
[22:18:06] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "You mean your Zweilous?"
[22:18:14] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Successfully confused the nurse!
[22:18:16] <Med> "My Zweilous?" blinkblink
[22:18:23] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Your Zweilous."
[22:20:16] * Med is confused!
[22:20:17] <~Aori_Radidjiu> She lets Chomps out, and Chomps tackles Med (or at least tries to) and licks her face.  Not the move Lick.
[22:20:29] <~Aori_Radidjiu> And licks her face with both tongues, I might add.
[22:20:30] * Med is tackled! how much damgae?
[22:20:34] <~Aori_Radidjiu> 1.
[22:20:35] <Med> wait it doesn't know tackle!
[22:20:49] <Med> should i remove an injury from everything
[22:21:41] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Yes.
[22:22:42] * Melons presumably prowls back to the ship, potentially with Lesieli and Lysandr, and even potentiallier crushing the note the seabitch gave her.
[22:22:43] <Med> i assume its aura is still basically the same, and thus it is easily identified as Chomps?!
[22:23:01] * Lysandr is not going to the ship!
[22:23:14] * Lysandr goes go Cass's house instead!
[22:23:23] * Lysandr because FUCK SHIPS
[22:23:25] * Mako crosses paths with Mel on the way! "How did it go?"
[22:23:31] <Med> [You evolved?!] she asks Chomps!
[22:23:34] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Quite so!
[22:23:40] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Cass is actually home by now!
[22:24:27] <Melons> "I get to be a model." She tries to pretend to be perky but her voice is instead hollow with fear and horror. Fearror.
[22:24:42] <~Aori_Radidjiu> When you knock, you find her smoking a cigarette, still as dressed as she was earlier.  "Oh, hey."
[22:24:53] <~Aori_Radidjiu> [EAT MORE!] It replies.  Oh.  Boy.
[22:25:08] <Lesieli> "This gunna be fun to watch, eh?"
[22:25:22] <Mako> "Oh? I thought about that once." He blinks. "How is that the result of questioning Kalili?"
[22:25:24] <Lysandr> "Hey. So."
[22:25:32] <Lysandr> "What do you know about mermaid curses?"
[22:26:33] <Melons> "Beause she is a cunning sea bitch. Apparently everyone else gets badges after the fight. Oh, also she doesn't know shit, so we're pretty much going to the Haven blind."
[22:26:50] * Med attempts to pet the dragon and maybe get out from underneith of it. petting a two-headed dragon can be awkward :(
[22:26:57] <Mako> "Figured. About the Haven thing..."
[22:27:13] <~Aori_Radidjiu> She blows out some smoke.  "Not much.  I heard some legend that mermaids who reveal themselves as such can never be human again.  Or something, it was in a story, I don't remember it well..  There's als something about full moons and them being unable to go above water on those days."
[22:28:26] <Melons> "Don't trail off like that, trailing off when I'm already sca- mad is bad."
[22:29:23] <Mako> "Oh, sorry. I meant I figured we were going in blind. The good news is that neither of my brothers appear to be in immediate danger of mermaid attack, but they are both being more surly than usual."
[22:30:15] * Med eventually returns home with a Zweilous and also a Mackenzie?!
[22:30:17] <Melons> "So either everyone here is ignorant and useless or it's an ultra-conspiracy and the Haven is a trap."
[22:30:21] <Mackenzie> "So your pokemon evolved from the battle?  That's fantastic!  You ought to treat them to something nice."  Not sure if pettable, or which head to pet either.
[22:30:36] <Mackenzie> (Sorry, I've been a bit occupied.)
[22:30:45] <~Aori_Radidjiu> (s'cool)
[22:30:51] <~Aori_Radidjiu> (it's a pretty slow session anyway)
[22:30:56] <Med> "I guess so! Now that it's twice as big... it'll... probably eat twice as much too..."
[22:30:56] <Lysandr> "Well great."
[22:31:12] <Mako> "I'm gonna go with both."
[22:31:29] * Med is horrified. She's positive the dragon could probably have eaten their entire supply of food in a day if it wanted to before evolving.
[22:31:32] <Melons> "Incompetent ambushes are nice."
[22:31:34] <Mako> "Ark is very laid back, but this many mermaids doesn't seem coincidental, you know?"
[22:32:11] <Med> "How am I going to feed her now!" T_T
[22:32:56] <Melons> "Apparently I'm whoring myself out tomorrow...and given the fact we're still resting up...guess that at least gives the rest of the day cooling off here and then we go check it out tomorrow evening or something?"
[22:33:11] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Want coffee?  Or a smoke?"  Cass takes a drag.
[22:34:38] <Mako> "Sounds like a plan. Gives us time to see if the other girls calm down or what."
[22:35:02] <Melons> "Or get murdered if there's some creepy telepathic link between them all."
[22:35:22] <Lysandr> Lysandr waves his hand in a 'no thanks gesture'.
[22:35:38] <Mackenzie> "Well, is she carnivorous?  There's always, y'know, wild pokemon."
[22:35:40] <Lysandr> "Well, I guess me might be setting off towards some sort of Mermaid Haven?"
[22:35:59] <Lysandr> "So if I die or something, now you know I got eaten by mermaids."
[22:36:29] <~Aori_Radidjiu> She blinks a few times.  "Oh, that's another rumor."
[22:36:36] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Er, reminds me of one."
[22:36:50] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "If you eat a mermaid's flesh, you become immortal.  Supposedly."
[22:37:20] <Melons> Groan. "Fuck, first she tries to murder you or something, THEN she decides I alone won't get a badge for it without this shit, THEN I realize that Mirai didn't get a chance to work for her badge and Kalili will be unavailable probably for the remainder of our time here...CAN'T A GIRL JUST FUCKING KILL A GOD WITHOUT COMPLICATIONS?!"
[22:37:21] <Med> "It says they're carnivorous, but I think she behaves more like an omnivore... or... maybe she just eats anything even if it's not nutritionous."
[22:37:54] <Lysandr> "Well, they're people, so I don't think I'll be having any mermaid steaks."
[22:38:01] <Mako> "Why don't you ask Mirai to help you with this modeling thing? Did Kalili say you have to do it yourself or just assign you a task?"
[22:38:19] <~Aori_Radidjiu> She sighs, letting out a bunch of smoke.  "Yeah, I guess so.  Maybe if you make it so you taste bad, they won't eat you?"
[22:38:24] <Lysandr> "Anyway, I should head back to the boat I guess. I'll see you when we get back."
[22:38:39] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "I guess smoking and coffee and other drugs might hel-"  She shakes her head.  "Sure!  Good luck!"
[22:39:13] <Lysandr> "Yeah you too, stay safe from the grumpy mermaid bitches."
[22:39:22] * Lysandr heads back towards the boat
[22:40:09] <~Aori_Radidjiu> She waves as you leave, then goes back inside.
[22:40:09] <Melons> "It was very CLEARLY to get back at me for...nothing, she just didn't like the cut of my ji- I need to stop with the puns...but I suppose if Mirai DID help she might be able to charm her way to getting a badge...watch, with my luck this'll be related to the mermaid cult."
[22:41:10] <Mako> "That wouldn't necessarily bad, it's not like we have a lot of information. Do you want me to go with you?"
[22:41:20] <Med> "But... that'd be a lot of wild pokemon..."
[22:41:59] <Melons> "And see m- NO, I can handle it!"
[22:42:11] * Mako tilts his head.
[22:42:23] <Mako> "Really? You're worried about -me- seeing any part of -you-?"
[22:42:52] <Melons> "Not so much you as much as anyone."
[22:43:18] <Melons> "There's a good chance I will be arrested by the end of tomorrow, by the way."
[22:43:32] <Mako> "Why?"
[22:43:42] * Med pets Chomps some more~ she can just pet both heads for now but WHAT ABOUT WHEN IT EVOLVES AGAIN T_T
[22:43:48] <Melons> "Wait, is it illegao to murder a mermaid?"
[22:43:50] <Melons> *illegal
[22:44:16] <Mako> "We're not murdering anyone."
[22:44:40] <Melons> "I used the first person."
[22:45:15] * Mako holds up his index finger. "But we're a crew, so we have to take responsibility for each other's actions."
[22:45:19] <Mako> "And work together."
[22:45:19] <Melons> "Oh, yeah, don't go check up on her, she said she might go re-crazy. And apparently if she feels TOO crazy she has to go live at the Haven, which I guess her mom and grandmother did?"
[22:45:59] <Mako> "Did they? I should ask my parents, I guess."
[22:46:17] <Mako> "Thankfully, my mom isn't even from Wakino, so she can't be a crazy fish woman."
[22:46:25] <Melons> "Aw, that reminds me, I didn't get to meet your mom and hear embarrassing stories about you~!"
[22:47:01] * Mako pinkens. "I-I was going to ask them about dinner, but now I don't think you're invited."
[22:47:22] <Melons> "...I guess I don't know where exactly my family is originally from in Wakino...should I be worried?"
[22:48:15] <Mako> "Did they ever mysteriously disappear on the full moon?"
[22:48:17] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Mel's grandparents (at least, the mentioned ones) are on her father's side.
[22:48:39] <Mako> "Though I guess that could mean werearcanine too."
[22:49:58] <Med> do med and mack and chomps reach the ship safely, o-or? :c
[22:50:04] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Safely~
[22:50:09] <Lysandr> w-what about Lys
[22:50:17] <Med> DO THEY WALK INTO LYS
[22:50:19] <Med> LITERALLY
[22:50:23] <Melons> "...no...but I also wasn't LOOKING for it...also it could be some kind of weird thing where distance weakens the bond...wait, either my mom knows the Mizous or knows OF the Mizous...I should probably look into that...WELL!"
[22:50:28] <Med> like all three of them (chomps is blind so she has an excuse)
[22:50:43] <Mako> "You should get on that."
[22:51:21] <~Aori_Radidjiu> They bump into each other, but not literally.
[22:53:32] <~Aori_Radidjiu> They just cross paths on the way to the boat.
[22:53:35] <Med> "Hi, Lys," Med greets the police officer with cheerful somberness.
[22:53:40] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Lys  smells faintly fo smoke.
[22:54:01] <Med> like she still is adorable and cheerful she's just kind of depressed about probably probably turning back into a demon before long
[22:54:02] <Melons> "Oh and now I'm remembering the email wherein I learned my parents are apparently not very comfortable with the having a girlfriend thing sooooooooo.....tiiiiime.......tooooo...freak out internally."
[22:54:14] <Lysandr> "Good evening."
[22:54:25] <Mako> "That sucks."
[22:55:03] <Melons> "Hm!" It's not really an affirmation or anything of Mako's statement, just a...response.
[22:55:06] * Mako shrugs. "I think my parents gave up on me or Dai marrying nice girls and having grand kids anytime soon."
[22:56:15] <Mackenzie> "Sorry to ask you something like this, but...  How did the battle with the monster...  woman...  end?  Where is she now?"
[22:56:53] <Lysandr> "She's being held in the police station with the other similarly affected women."
[22:57:18] <Lysandr> "We're alive so, I suppose it ended well. But now we need to investigate what caused her to transform like that, and is making the others aggressive."
[22:58:31] <Mackenzie> "Ah, Med and I already had a lead for that."
[22:59:36] <Lysandr> "Great then. Let's hear about it on the ship."
[23:00:42] <Med> "Yeah..." :c
[23:01:41] <Mackenzie> "Quite."
[23:01:51] * Med TO THE SHIP
[23:01:56] * Med boards a motherfucking vessel yo
[23:01:58] * Karsten is now known as Kain
[23:02:08] * Mako is waiting on deck, lounging in a chair.
[23:02:56] * Melons retreats to Mirai's room or something to catch her up on the si- seek comfort. And then probably that first thing.
[23:04:08] <Mako> "Hey guys, feeling better?"
[23:04:47] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Mirai's on the deck, lounging about with her Togepi and eating some chips.
[23:05:52] <Melons> Well okay, then the pseudo-breakdown is pseudo-public.
[23:06:57] <Melons> Oh, Koa also got to stay out the whole way back because Mel hasn't finished inwardly fangirling.
[23:07:20] <Med> "No... there's a curse, and it's just... in the air... affecting people randomly and without warning..." ._.
[23:09:10] <Mako> "Well not totally randomly, seems like most of them are mermaids."
[23:09:29] <Med> "Huh?"
[23:09:41] <Mackenzie> "Hm."
[23:09:58] <Mako> "The girls, they're all descendents of the sea god, seems to only be affecting them."
[23:10:26] <Melons> Tears roiling in her ducts, Mel sputters something about sea bitches, parents, badges, and whoring to Mirai.
[23:10:37] <Mako> "Probably headed to Mermaid Haven to check things out over there, see if something moved in."
[23:10:42] * Med thinks about whether the girl she saw go cursemad earlier might have been a mermaid
[23:10:52] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Mirai can't understand a thing Mel says
[23:10:53] <Med> aori what was her aura like?!
[23:10:59] <~Aori_Radidjiu> so she just hugs her and pats her on the back
[23:11:00] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Kalili's?
[23:11:03] <Med> no
[23:11:05] <Med> the manager
[23:11:07] <Med> from the restaurant
[23:11:15] <Med> kalili was 100% mermaid she turned into a pokemon or something like that
[23:11:45] <~Aori_Radidjiu> It had a normal bit, an orangish series of halos or rings, that were all tinged with a shadowy red/black
[23:12:49] <Med> so ... probably not mermaid?
[23:13:28] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Shurg
[23:13:33] <Med> or was there a common element between her and the definite mermaid?
[23:14:05] <~Aori_Radidjiu> the shadowy tinge!
[23:14:55] <Mako> "Anyway, I'm glad you guys are alright, thanks for coming to help. She was probably going to kill me and eat my heart."
[23:15:23] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Although lemme' think on this more
[23:15:36] <Med> want me to roll intuition
[23:17:41] <Mackenzie> "So what else do you know?  All Med and I figured out is that there's a curse affecting certain people, and that they may or may not be mermaids.  Med has said that we need to visit the ah...  Island of mermaids or what have you, to learn more about the sea god related to this curse."
[23:19:06] <Mako> "That's pretty much it. Sea god, mermaids, weird anger management issues. Mel has to do some modeling tomorrow to actually get a badge."
[23:19:11] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Yeah, roll intuition
[23:19:24] <Med> 3d6+6 ok
[23:19:27] <DiceMaid-9001> Med, ok: 20 [3d6=5,4,5]
[23:20:38] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Thinking on it...
[23:20:40] <Mackenzie> 1d6+2
[23:20:42] <DiceMaid-9001> Mackenzie, 1d6+2: 6 [1d6=4]
[23:20:59] <~Aori_Radidjiu> You realize that there were like...little blue particles interspersed throughout their auras, tiny, but still there.
[23:21:15] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Kalili's aura was the one with it being the most present.
[23:21:41] <Med> "She... might have been..." Med says after some THOUGHT
[23:22:46] * Mako shrugs. "I wouldn't be surprised if most of them are, really. Ark didn't mingle much with other people, sounds like a good place to raise a bunch of mermaids."
[23:26:09] <Med> "Yeah... that explains how the curse is being transferred! Through their bloodline!"
[23:26:50] <Med> "Which means it can't affect any of us! I think!"
[23:27:02] * Med is suddenly less somber because that means she won't just RANDOMLY BECOME A DEMON OUT OF NOWHERE
[23:27:20] * Mako nods. "Hopefully. If it was going to affect anyone now, I guess it would be me and I don't think I went crazy recently."
[23:29:20] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Mirai's still hugging Mel and patting her on the back
[23:29:33] <Med> "But... it's... I was like that before..."
[23:30:32] <Melons> 4d6+4 Convince myself everything is cool. (DC:9)
[23:30:34] <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Convince myself everything is cool. (DC:9): 14 [4d6=1,2,6,1]
[23:30:44] <Melons> (that was supposed to be 19 :D)
[23:30:48] * Melons continues ablooblooing.
[23:30:51] <~Aori_Radidjiu> (welp)
[23:31:01] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Mirai keeps "There there ;_;"ing
[23:31:26] <~Aori_Radidjiu> ...and then decides it's high time to do something else and so decides to shut Mel up with a kissu on the lips
[23:31:28] <Med> 1d6-1 notice crying melons
[23:31:28] <DiceMaid-9001> Med, notice crying melons: 2 [1d6=3]
[23:31:32] <Mako> "Then maybe you ought to stay inside when it rains for a bit."
[23:31:37] <~Aori_Radidjiu> What are melons?
[23:32:01] <Med> 3d6+6 notice sadness somewhere
[23:32:02] <DiceMaid-9001> Med, notice sadness somewhere: 18 [3d6=6,4,2]
[23:32:21] <Melons> Mel starts to blubber something and then there's a girl in her mouth.
[23:33:53] <~Aori_Radidjiu> There's definitely sadness!
[23:34:06] * Med looks for the source of it. it must be around here SOMEWHERE.
[23:34:30] <Melons> 4d6+4 Aurahide! That's probably not a thing...shit would that be actual stealth? Focus? Shenanigans?
[23:34:31] <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Aurahide! That's probably not a thing...shit would that be actual stealth? Focus? Shenanigans?: 19 [4d6=6,3,5,1]
[23:34:35] <Med> mako lounging, probably not sad... mel and mirai making out, definitely not sad...
[23:34:45] <Med> lys looks kind of depressed with life in general, maybe it's him!
[23:34:57] <Mako> "Ah, lesbians." He stands up and turns to head inside. "Get some rest, take it easy, see you guys in the morning."
[23:35:14] <~Aori_Radidjiu> You fail your aurahide since your DC was raised by being emotionally tampered with, from the mouth.
[23:35:26] <Melons> (Damn, should have gone with Focus)
[23:37:09] <Melons> "Um...um...um...
[23:37:13] <Melons> " ;-;
[23:37:47] <Melons> "...my parents are creeped out by this! Also we got badges without you apparently! Also I didn't get one until I go do some modeling or something shitty! Also could you be there for that?" ;-;
[23:38:05] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Sure!"
[23:38:15] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Your parents are creeped out?"
[23:39:04] <Melons> "They're...not...comfortable...with me being a...you know..." ;;;;;;;;;;;;-----------;;;;;;;;;;;;
[23:39:23] <Lesieli> (A Lesbian?)
[23:39:49] <Mako> With that, Mako goes down to his room and I PEACE OUT.
[23:39:51] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "So?"
[23:39:56] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Ah, Domo
[23:39:59] <~Aori_Radidjiu> One last thing.
[23:40:20] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Mako receives a text right before bed, a multimedia text!
[23:40:57] <Mako> Oh boy
[23:41:42] <~Aori_Radidjiu> It's...a picture of a head?  A head on a platter.  Must be one of those costuming things.  The face looks kind of familiar (roll me Intuition and perception.)
[23:42:04] <Mako> 5d6+3; 3d6
[23:42:05] <DiceMaid-9001> Mako, 5d6+3: 17 [5d6=5,3,3,1,2]; 3d6: 10 [3d6=1,3,6]
[23:42:27] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Hmmmmmmm...maybe it's not fake?  YOu're not sure.
[23:42:55] <~Aori_Radidjiu> It looks an awful lot like Brent.
[23:43:17] <~Aori_Radidjiu> There's a caption "He knew and said too much."
[23:44:52] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Anyone watching the news the next day, or reading it, notices something about a group of pirates being murdered in prison.
[23:45:37] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Anyway
[23:45:46] <~Aori_Radidjiu> That's all for you domo~
[23:46:53] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Mirai continues.  "I don't care what your parents think, I care what you think!"
[23:47:24] <Melons> "But...I...I care what my parents think." ;-;
[23:48:21] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Why?"
[23:49:07] <Melons> "Why...not...?" ;-;-;
[23:50:53] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Do you live with your parents?  Do they directly impact your life?  I know what my parents would think of a lot of things, but they're not alive anymore.   I respect their wishes, and will do my best to fulfill them, buuuuuuuuuut..."
[23:51:00] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "I'm not going to put their wishes above mine!"
[23:51:43] <Melons> 2d6-2 Understand what she's saying
[23:51:45] <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Understand what she's saying: 8 [2d6=6,4]
[23:51:48] <Melons> 4d6+4 Pretend to understand what she's saying
[23:51:50] <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Pretend to understand what she's saying: 17 [4d6=4,1,3,5]
[23:52:22] <Melons> "...I guess...how's the...um...Jellicent?
[23:52:23] <Med> "Lys, are you okay?" roara finally realizes he hadn't typed this yet
[23:52:23] <Melons> "
[23:52:43] <Lysandr> "Uhm, I suppose I am. Why do you ask?"
[23:52:45] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "It's great!  He's a really good pillow, and enjoys being used as one!"
[23:52:55] * Lysandr oh god people acknowledging my presence help
[23:52:56] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "And I'm sure he'll be really useful!"
[23:53:03] <Med> "You seemed kind of down!"
[23:53:59] <Melons> "...oh......OOOOOOOOOOH...........OOOOOOOOOH...I don't...know...if...you know...but...before we left Zebra...I let two more friends from my crazy people academy into the crew..."
[23:54:08] <Lysandr> "Oh, er, sorry?"
[23:54:12] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "Uh-huh?"
[23:54:42] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "I know you did.  I had to put out a fire the red-haired one started earlier today!"
[23:54:54] <Melons> "...oh...oh...THEY'REJUSTFRIENDS!"
[23:54:59] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "She was freaking out reeeeeeaaaally bad, I was afraid she was gonna' have a seizure or something!"
[23:55:27] <Med> "For what?"
[23:55:51] <Med> 6d6+6+2 this is how adorable med is as she talks to lysandr
[23:55:52] <DiceMaid-9001> Med, this is how adorable med is as she talks to lysandr: 26 [6d6=3,3,4,2,4,2]
[23:57:22] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "'Just friends'?  so not even particularly good friends?""
[23:57:34] <Lysandr> "Er, looking down, and thus inadvertently and accidentally making you waste time and concern on me?"
[23:57:38] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "I think they're probably 'good friends' and you're just lying to yourself~!"
[23:57:59] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "And I'm fine with that~"
[23:59:07] <Melons> "Well it wouldn't be the first time I l- oh...if you're...okay, then...so...yeah...modelling...thing...tomorrow...and then get ambushed my mermaids if you're up to it?" Mel moves to head below decks. Deck. I'm not sure on the proper plurality in this case.
[23:59:40] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "w-well, I don't think Palmy would be okay with me going otu to the mermaids, but..."
Session Time: Thu Oct 31 00:00:00 2013
[00:00:34] <~Aori_Radidjiu> "I think I'm going to go to town and...the water gym leader is in jail, right?  I think I'll set up an appointment with her!"
[00:00:53] <Med> "Oh. If you're sure you're okay, then don't worry about it!"
[00:01:38] <Lysandr> "Right."
[00:01:40] <Melons> "Oh...yeah...she is...but...she doesn't...erm...like me...so...yeah..."
[00:01:45] * Lysandr was okay before but now he's flustered ;-;
[00:02:20] * Med is adorable! and probably still topless or something. also she has a two-headed dragon, that's probably relevant too somehow. it only wants to eat everything ever.
[00:03:32] <~Aori_Radidjiu> It's chewing on the floor of the deck.
[00:06:33] * Med tries to explain to chomps that floors aren't very nutritional and also people need to walk on them
[00:07:13] <~Aori_Radidjiu> Chomps seems to listen and stops
[00:07:17] <~Aori_Radidjiu> And then eventually resumes.
[00:08:02] <Med> :c
[00:08:49] * Lysandr is now known as Doxy
[00:08:56] <~Aori_Radidjiu> And with that, we close on everything for now~
[00:08:59] <~Aori_Radidjiu> </session>
