You Wouldn't Pirate Lesbians, Also Something About Asterisks

[22:03:51] * Med WAS A MED
[22:10:12] <Med> 1d24 WHAT TIME SHALL MED AND MELONS MEET
[22:10:13] <DiceMaid-9001> Med, WHAT TIME SHALL MED AND MELONS MEET: 8 [1d24=8]
[22:14:08] * Med IS FUCKING ASLEEP AT 8 AM
[22:14:11] * Med IS FUCKING ASLEEP AT 8:01 AM
[22:14:17] * Med WAKES UP AT 8:02 AM
[22:17:31] * Med stretches, yawns, rubs her eyes, pets her Fluffers, and gets out of bed o/~
[22:23:24] * Med wanders around the ship half-asleep and in her underwear, because it's too hot to sleep in clothes when you snuggle with a(n adorable as heck) hellhound!
[22:23:39] <Med> Eventually, she'd make her way to the KITCHEN in search of BREAKFAST.
[22:27:44] <Melons> The KITCH contains one VERY disgruntled looking Melanie, with bags under her eyes and smelling somewhat of booze. She's just laying at the table holding her head.
[22:28:33] <Melons> *KITCHEN
[22:29:57] <Med> "Good morning," Med says yawning, going to get some bread to make toast. She manages to get as far as grabbing two slices of bread before realizing, and goes back to Melons to ask her, "Are you alright, Mels?"
[22:30:50] <Melons> A Gastly groan is the only response. Get it? Gastly instead of ghastly? Shut up.
[22:31:26] <Med> "Were you out drinking all night?" Med asks, a little impressed!
[22:32:27] <Melons> "Isn't it still night?" The mix between drunkenness and sleeplessness makes it hard for Mel's eyes to focus on Med.
[22:32:42] <Med> "No! It's morning already!"
[22:33:19] <Melons> "Oh..." Her lips curl in amusement. "...g'mornin' Med!"
[22:33:41] <Med> "Good morning! Do you want some breakfast?" she asks, still holding bread!
[22:35:29] <Melons> Mel's stomach tells her that's a terrible idea. "Nope..." Melanie doesn't bother to correct Med by saying she was not out drinking.
[22:37:37] <Med> "It'll help!"
[22:39:21] <Melons> "Will it?"
[22:41:42] <Med> "Uh... as long as it stays in your stomach!"
[22:42:03] <Med> "How much did you drink?"
[22:42:56] <Melons> "K...I'll try..." She's managed to get herself staring at Med, though it's questionable just how attentive she is.
[22:43:16] <Med> "Alright!"
[22:43:26] * Med goes to make toast for herself and a Melons~
[22:45:42] <Med> While waiting for the toaster to magically turn bread into toast, Med gets a glass of water and puts it in front of Melons.
[22:45:47] <Med> "Drink!"
[22:47:30] * Melons puts her face to the glass and attempts to slurp it up without having to actually lift or tip the glass. It works until the water gets below a certain point, so she just sticks her face into the opening of the glass to slurp it down, ultimately having the same problem except now Melanie just has her face sitting in a glass.
[22:48:27] * Med stares at the melons.
[22:48:35] <Med> "You're goofy."
[22:51:57] <Melons> She pulls her head up and pseudostares at Med. "...nuhuh."
[22:52:23] * Med grabs the melon's hand and places it on the glass. "Like this!"
[22:52:58] <Melons> "Fiiiiiiiiine!" She slurps at the glass like some kind of NORMAL drunk person.
[22:54:59] <Med> "Better! You need to drink lots of water after drinking a lot, or you'll feel even worse when you wake up!"
[22:55:14] <Melons> "But I am awake..."
[22:55:28] <Med> "Did you drink any water?"
[22:55:49] <Melons> "I don't care for water types!"
[22:57:42] <Med> "You're goofy," Med repeats before going off to finish making toast, since it is probably conveniently just done getting toasted!
[22:59:17] * Med puts toast in front of Melons, and sits at the table to eat her own toast~
[22:59:43] <Melons> "No, you're goofy...with your...poketalky thing." She stares at the toast like it's deeply offended her.
[23:02:45] <Med> "I guess it is a little unusual~" says an amused Med. drunk people are silly~
[23:04:52] <Melons> "A liiiiittle? YOU TALK TO POKEMON! AND THEY TALK BACK! EXCEPT WITH MAGIC!"
[23:04:59] <Melons> Oops, a little loud there.
[23:06:54] <Med> "Not just pokemon! I can talk to anything with a soul!" she explains. or brags. probably both.
[23:07:21] <Melons> "...so you can't talk to ghosts?"
[23:08:25] <Med> "They are souls, so... it's extra-easy to talk with them!"
[23:08:26] <Melons> Melanie has progressed to nibbling at her toast. Progress!
[23:08:57] <Melons> "Oh...what about Shedinjas, they say those things don't have souls. Or maybe if the whole thing about looking into their hole sucking out your soul means they have a lot of them?"
[23:09:18] <Med> "I... dunno! I've never encountered one before..."
[23:09:27] <Med> "I can't do it with robots, though."
[23:09:36] <Melons> "What about ghost robots?"
[23:09:41] * Med eats her own toast casually~
[23:10:03] <Med> "Uh... I guess I'd be able to talk with those, because it'd have to have a soul to count as a ghost."
[23:10:32] <Melons> "Wait, your family doesn't own a ghost robot? Huh, I thought they would..."
[23:12:33] * Med shakes her head. "Sepia doesn't have a lot of technology... I didn't even know what a shower was until I moved to Conch, and only a few people even had TVs."
[23:13:28] <Melons> "Nonono, like a...Golker...nonono...Groiler?....Grul...GOLURK!" She looks unusually excited to have successfully said the name of a pokemon.
[23:17:42] <Med> "Oh, no. I think my brother might have a Golett, but the family champion's my dad's Gengar."
[23:18:53] <Melons> "Teeeeeeeell meeeee about your family, Meddy! They sound weird."
[23:18:56] <Med> "It might've evolved by now," Med thinks about it! "He doesn't let me see any of his secret gym leader stuff." she says, all disappointed :c
[23:20:57] <Med> "Um, well... my mom's super nice... and my dad was a medium when he was alive, before he became the Ghost gym leader!"
[23:21:05] <Med> "They gave me Knives and Fluffers!"
[23:21:27] <Melons> "Waaaaaaait, he become a gym leader AFTER he diiied?" She looks amaaaaazed.
[23:23:04] <Med> "No, he became the gym leader before I was born!"
[23:23:31] <Melons> "...oh...that would also be a way to understand what you said..."
[23:24:36] <Melons> "Is it going to be awkward when we kick your brother's ass in his own gym?"
[23:25:30] * Med hadn't thought about that!
[23:27:33] <Med> "I dunno! I haven't even thought of it! He's really good, after all!"
[23:28:33] <Melons> "Man I hope it's a 1-on-1 instead of one of these dumb team battles...but I don't think Po or Reeve are ready...I mean I COULD probably mop the floor with him using Sleight, but I want to also use ghost-types, y'know? Oh hey, with two ghosty gym leaders and you being some kind of magical aura pirate fighter, your mom and other family must also be pretty epic, right?"
[23:30:50] <Med> "Yeah! My mom was really cool! My oldest brother's a medium like my dad was, and my middle brother's some kind of super hero, and my older sister's a psychic detective!"
[23:31:24] <Melons> "...some kind of SUPER HE- oh fuck, what kind of psychic detective? A detective that is psychic or a detective that detects psychics?"
[23:31:32] <Med> "Both!"
[23:32:30] <Med> "She's not like Miss Blot, though. She doesn't shoot lasers. She just sees the future and stuff."
[23:32:46] <Melons> "...That Blot chick shoots lasers?"
[23:33:09] <Med> "You didn't know?"
[23:33:29] <Melons> "...I only saw her the one time and she wouldn't read my mind...I don't think she did anyway...I should have known if she did!"
[23:35:06] <Med> "Well, she's a cop..."
[23:36:00] <Melons> "...so it's probably best she didn't read my mind...wait, what was that about your middle brother being a super hero?"
[23:37:54] <Med> "Uh... well, he goes around helping people... so he's like a super hero." toast is probably done, so she goes to get Melons MORE WATER, because BEING HYDRATED IS IMPORTANT
[23:38:41] <Melons> "We technically help people and we sure ain't no super heroes...or are we?"
[23:39:10] <Med> "Well, he also has psychic powers and stuff."
[23:39:20] * Med PLACES GLASS OF WATER IN FRONT OF MELONS
[23:39:32] <Melons> "Hey I have those, am I a super hero?"
[23:39:54] <Med> "Also, we get paid and stuff."
[23:40:09] <Melons> "That doesn't mean we aren't putting ourselves in dangerous situations..."
[23:40:53] * Med blink
[23:41:05] <Med> "I guess so!"
[23:41:17] <Melons> "...wait, does he wear a costume?"
[23:41:44] * Med shakes her head
[23:41:57] <Melons> "Then he's just a hero!"
[23:42:13] <Med> "But he has super powers."
[23:42:54] <Melons> "But he doesn't wear a costuuuuuuume! I mean, Crobatman doesn't have super powers either but he's a super hero!"
[23:44:22] <Med> "My oldest brother does! He wears exorcist clothes!"
[23:44:44] <Melons> "Ooooh wh- wait, an exorcist, like, he kills ghosts?"
[23:45:25] <Med> "Uh... I don't think that's how it works, but he helps handle confused or malevolent spirits!"
[23:45:40] <Melons> "But you don't KNOW that!"
[23:46:37] <Med> "Actually... if you still have ghost pokemon problems, he might be able to help!"
[23:46:58] <Melons> "Whatnonothey'refine!"
[23:47:15] <Med> "He won't kill them!"
[23:47:30] <Melons> "BUT HE COULD!"
[23:48:12] <Med> "Why would he?"
[23:51:57] <Melons> "BECAUSE...I...I don't know..." She goes back to sipping her water.
[23:54:04] <Melons> "...must be nice having siblings."
[23:56:29] <Med> "I guess so... I barely ever get to actually see them..." :c
[23:56:55] <Melons> "O-Oh...sorry..."
[00:00:16] <Med> "What about you? You lived up north and stuff, right?"
[00:01:06] <Melons> "Mhm...Snowpoint...was just me and my parents...and my grandmother until she...passed..." Sad Melons looks sad.
[00:02:34] <Med> aw
[00:02:45] <Med> sad melons gets a hug from a half naked girl :c
[00:03:16] <Melons> Ohgodshe'shalfnakedsadmelonsfeelsawkwardasfucknow.
[00:06:11] <~Mirai> Mirai comes out of her room, having recently showered, wearing a towel on her torso and head, going to get a snack in the fridge before she gets dressed~!  But then she finds Med and Mel hugging half naked.
[00:06:21] <~Mirai> Well, just Med's half naked.
[00:07:07] <Melons> You don't know, some drunk people take off their clothes!
[00:07:10] <Melons> ...not Melanie though.
[00:07:22] <Med> Melanie probably puts them on
[00:07:34] <Med> IT'S SO HOT IN HERE, PUTTING ON MY SNOW COAT WILL HELP
[00:07:36] <Melons> More clothes means more stats.
[00:07:36] <~Mirai> "Hi guys!  What's up?"  She's pulling some yogurt out of  the fridge and starts eating it with a spoon.
[00:07:54] <Med> "She's drunk," she points at Melons.
[00:08:06] <Melons> "No you are!...I'm drunk...ish..."
[00:08:20] <Med> "I know how to drink responsibly!"
[00:08:43] <Melons> "Responsibly just means you didn't kill anyone else!...usually."
[00:08:46] <~Mirai> "Really~? Okay then!" After making sure Mel and Med separate, she pauses, thoughtfully, putting a finger to her cheek.  "Why'd you get drunk, Mel~?"
[00:09:56] <Melons> "You're not my mo-" Aw, now Melanie realizes she should probably like...call or write back home...since she almost totally left without saying anything... "Um...I had nothing else to do...and...things..."
[00:10:38] <~Mirai> "Hmmmm, okay, nothing else to do?"
[00:11:01] <~Mirai> Her eyes gleam, little stars forming in them.
[00:11:54] <Melons> Melanie stares at Mirai. "I mean...I guess there could have been...but...other thoughts and things...so...the boozes..."
[00:12:11] <Med> "Wait... did you drink alone?"
[00:12:17] <Melons> "...yes?"
[00:12:21] <~Mirai> Mirai smirks, staring back.  "Why'd you drink alone~?"
[00:12:46] <Melons> "Cuz I'm alone."
[00:12:48] <Med> "Yeah! You're in a ship full of alcoholics!" Med explains tactfully.
[00:13:07] <~Mirai> "You're not alone, you goof!"  She gives Mel a playful whack on the shoulder.
[00:13:30] <Med> med's statement makes more sense either one line down or one line up!
[00:13:40] <Med> therefore it will be unmoved due to law of averages
[00:14:02] <Melons> "Cuz I wanna be alone. But I didn't wanna be alone."
[00:15:30] <Melons> "So...boozes."
[00:17:27] <Med> "Well, you should try drinking with friends! It's a lot more fun!"
[00:18:06] <Melons> "...I did that once...there were half-naked men dressed as Abraham Lincoln..."
[00:19:06] <Med> "Huh?" blank stare
[00:19:23] <Melons> "Guy with the beard and the hat...and Mako..."
[00:19:42] <~Mirai> "Whaaaa?"
[00:19:53] <~Mirai> "Did Mako take you to a weird place?"  She blinks.
[00:19:57] <Melons> "Oh, Lysandr was there too."
[00:20:14] <~Mirai> "Oh, he's into that kind of thing?"
[00:20:30] <Melons> "I don't know, he was asking me questions and there wasn't enough booze."
[00:21:15] <~Mirai> "Well, I guess Lysandr is one of those pretty types...huh..."  She has her fingers on her lips, contemplatively.
[00:21:43] <Med> "Yeah... I didn't know Mako was gay too though!"
[00:22:04] <Med> "That explains a lot!"
[00:23:07] <Melons> "...you didn't know we beat up his bros?"
[00:23:24] <~Mirai> "His 'bros'?  Wait, so he does it with lots of guys?"
[00:24:02] <Melons> Mel goes red in the face. "Well...I mean...I just know he met them at a club and they were apparently cool guys before apparently being pirates...I don't know...how well he knew them."
[00:24:23] <Med> "I just thought they were friends..."
[00:24:30] <~Mirai> "Huuuuuuuuuh..."
[00:24:37] <Med> "That's an awful lot of people to... do stuff with... in... that short of time..."
[00:25:49] <Melons> "Ididn'tsaythatnoonesaidthat!" Melanie flails her arms to try to somehow magically dissuade Med from thinking that and ends up sending the water in her glass into orbit around her, quickly making a ring formation.
[00:26:22] <~Mirai> Mirai sticks a finger in the ring of water, and then licks it.  "Hm~"
[00:26:54] <Melons> OhgodwhatisshedoingwhydoIknowAquaRing?!
[00:27:18] <Melons> Oh wait nevermind, just psychic, everything's cool.
[00:28:25] <Med> timetoteasemelons "Hey... does it count as an indirect kiss if you drink the same drink, but you don't drink it out of the same glass?"
[00:28:46] <Melons> "Whatwhatwhat why would it work that way, it doesn't work that way, it could never work that way!"
[00:29:16] * Med is probably now giggling at the poor Melons.
[00:29:27] <~Mirai> "Hmmmmm, I guess not..."  She pouts a bit...
[00:29:46] <~Mirai> And then just takes Mel's glass and scoops some of the floating water in it and drinks.  Subtle.
[00:30:07] <Med> "That's why I prefer more direct kisses~"
[00:31:15] <Melons> "No one's kissing here, just water, I don't know wha- anyway, back to the bar thing, I don't know if Lysandr is gay, I think he just joined Mako and I because Mako owed me but I didn't know what was going on and then I got odd looks and I'm not a gay dude so it doesn't mean he is, y'know!" Gibberish.
[00:31:53] <~Mirai> "Of course you're not a gay dude!  You don't look like a dude!"
[00:32:35] <Med> "Hehe, you're really bad with gossip." she is probably still giggling at melons. poor melons ;-;
[00:32:36] <Melons> "But...wait...what does a gay dude look like?" @_@
[00:32:52] <~Mirai> "Well for starters, he wouldn't have breasts!"
[00:33:24] <Melons> "Some girls hardly have breasts..."
[00:33:38] <~Mirai> "You're not one of those, though!"
[00:33:51] <Melons> "But they could be gay dudes?"
[00:34:05] <~Mirai> "...no?"
[00:34:11] <Melons> "...right."
[00:34:18] <Melons> "...I was testing you..."
[00:34:18] <~Mirai> "You kind of need to have a y chromosome.  And muscles.  And a penis."
[00:34:37] <Med> "Not all gay guys have muscles!"
[00:34:45] <Melons> "Or a y chromosome...technically..."
[00:35:04] <~Mirai> "...how can you be a guy if you don't have a y chromosome?
[00:35:05] <~Mirai> "
[00:35:33] <Melons> "About one in twenty thousand don't have one!"
[00:35:45] <Melons> "I...don't really know how it works..."
[00:35:55] <~Mirai> "...huh, really? I didn't know that..."  Blink blink.
[00:36:25] <Melons> "Pleasepleasepleaseletthesubjecthavechanged." Oh god that was out loud.
[00:36:43] <Med> "From what?" '-'
[00:36:57] <~Mirai> "Anyway, since you're not a dude!  The other qualifier is 'gay'.  That one's a bit harder."
[00:37:07] * Melons squints at Med, not su- goddamnit.
[00:38:59] <Med> "Yeah, but if it was a bar full of half naked men, wouldn't it be better for her if she was straight - or... at least into boys?"
[00:39:17] <~Mirai> "Yeah, but it sounds like she was miserable!"
[00:39:22] <~Mirai> "So that might mean she's gay!"
[00:39:31] <Med> "Good point!"
[00:39:52] <Melons> Ohgodisthathowitworks? That doesn't even make sense! Melanie hides her face with magic floating water.
[00:40:31] <Med> "She's even blushing!" Med points out, giggling. "I think you got it right!"
[00:41:06] <~Mirai> She claps her hands together!  "Good!  It's working!  I had a more drastic test in mind, but this should be good enough~!"  She grins.
[00:41:38] <Melons> "W-w-w-wait, why is that good? I don't mean it would be bad but...but..but..."
[00:42:10] <Med> "A more drastic test? Like... kissing her? Or taking the towel off?"
[00:42:26] <Med> "'Cause the second one might not be a good idea, someone else could walk in at any moment!"
[00:42:26] <~Mirai> "Because I'm gay!  Or at least I think I am!"  She pumps her fist up before answering Med.  "The latter!"
[00:42:27] <Med> says Med.
[00:42:35] <Med> who has probably already walked around the ship naked before.
[00:43:03] <Melons> Not knowing how to handle anything happening, Melanie just pulls her STEALTH COLLAR up over her eyes.
[00:43:40] <Med> "Hey, wait... how old're you, Mels?"
[00:44:02] <Melons> The water forms into the number '20.'
[00:44:19] * Med does mental maths.
[00:44:44] <Med> "Okay! I think it's only bad if you're twenty-one."
[00:45:08] <Melons> ...the collar slides back down from her face. "...what now?"
[00:45:11] <~Mirai> "Does this mean we could make out?"  :D
[00:45:16] <Melons> Collar goes back up.
[00:45:27] <Med> "I think so!"
[00:46:07] <Med> "It might be different in Zebra Town though..."
[00:46:34] <Melons> Collar down! "...what are these rules you're referencing?"
[00:46:35] <Med> "But I can't really any enforce any laws I dunno about~"
[00:47:16] <~Mirai> "Age of consent, right?
[00:47:18] <~Mirai> "
[00:47:26] * Med nodnods
[00:47:41] * Med knows these things partially because ROCK STAR and partially because MISS BLOT.
[00:48:46] <Melons> Melanie doesn't know these things because ZERO FRIENDS and partially because PRUDE. "...consent of what? You mean when people stop being minors? How does that fit in?"
[00:49:25] <~Mirai> Mirai clears her throat, cupped hand going to her mouth, before responding to that.
[00:49:38] <~Mirai> "I might be gay.  I think you're hot.  That's how that fits in."
[00:50:29] <Melons> "What does 'might' mean? What's going on?" @_@
[00:51:07] <~Mirai> "Well I'm not sure!  I've never kissed a guy so I dunno' if I'd enjoy it..."
[00:51:48] <~Mirai> "But doing that with a girl sounds better in my head!  It's like that, kind of!"
[00:52:15] <Med> "Boys are more awkward and rough than girls are - though Melons might be kinda awkward too~ - but it's not so bad!"
[00:52:46] <Melons> "W-Why are you calling me 'Melons?'"
[00:53:30] <Med> "I dunno! It just sounded cute, like Mels!"
[00:55:26] <~Mirai> "Aaaaaanyway!"
[00:55:35] <~Mirai> "Um, would you...be up for that kind of thing?"
[00:56:22] <Melons> Melanie stares at Mirai.
[00:56:50] <Med> "Ehe... should I leave you two alone now?"
[00:57:01] <Melons> Melanie stares at Med.
[00:57:17] <Med> jeez, way to stare at half naked girls!
[00:57:21] <~Mirai> Mirai clasps her hands together and looks back at Mel~
[00:58:17] <Melons> "I...um...I...I don't want to say no...but aren't I supposed to be like...protecting you? Or something?"
[01:00:01] <Med> "Then just don't break her heart!"
[01:00:26] <Melons> "I don't know how to do that!" Collar back up.
[01:01:00] <~Mirai> "Er, well, I mean..."
[01:01:31] <~Mirai> "I uh...I don't even know for sure if I like girls, so I mean, I guess I'm not asking 'go be my life partner' or anything big like that."
[01:02:49] <Melons> Quite muffled. "W-Wait, you don't know if you like me?"
[01:03:17] <~Mirai> "I do like you!  As a person! And a friend!  Maybe more!  I'm not sure!"
[01:03:34] <~Mirai> "I-it's not like i have much experience with these things..."  She starts blushing a little.
[01:04:36] * Med is just like omgsoadorable~
[01:05:56] <Melons> Collar sloooooowly down. "If we...um...try 'it'...and it doesn't work...can we go back to being friends andpretendlikeitneverhappenedIdon'thaveenoughfriendstogolosingany!"
[01:06:07] <~Mirai> "Sure!"
[01:06:11] <~Mirai> "So uh..."
[01:06:31] <~Mirai> She tilts her head.  "You wanna' put a stamp on this agreement?"  She smiles.
[01:07:16] <Melons> "I...don't...have any stamps..." Melanie stares in confusion.
[01:07:32] <~Mirai> "Got any lipstick?"
[01:08:20] <Melons> "Um...no..."
[01:09:49] <Med> "I have some! What color?"
[01:09:54] <~Mirai> "Ah, okay, be right back then~!"  She rushes into her room, some loud rummaging noises can be heard, and then she comes back in, still wearing a towel, although she took the towel on her hair off, her hair slightly wet, down, without a flower in it as usual.  She has a tube of lipstick in her hand.
[01:10:13] <Melons> "...wait, what is this for?"
[01:10:25] <~Mirai> "Stamp the agreement.  With your lips~!"
[01:10:42] <Med> "Ooh. Shower time~"
[01:10:55] <Med> "Drink lots of water, Mels! Alcohol dehydrates you, you know!"
[01:11:09] * Med goes off to take a shower instead of awkwardly watching lesbians be lesbians o/~
[01:12:10] <~Mirai> She hands Mel the tube of lipstick.
[01:12:40] * Melons takes the lipstick and freezes in timidterror and takes a shower...okay, a half-glass-or-so worth of water falls onto her because that shit takes SOME concencration to maintain.
[01:13:16] <Melons> She doesn't particularly notice.
[01:14:01] <~Mirai> The younger girl waits patiently~
[01:16:42] <Melons> Melanie twists the lipstick up or out or whichever preposition and stares at it before applying it somewhat clumsily, in turn looking at Mirai nervously.
[01:17:20] <~Mirai> The younger girl leeeans in a little and brings her lips together, closing her eyes.
[01:17:56] <Melons> The Melons gulps and kisses Mirai, having very little idea of what she's doing.
[01:22:47] <~Mirai> The younger girl kisses back, grabbing onto Mel's back with one hand and about to grab with the other when her towel starts slipping, so she awkwardly grabs the towel with the other hand and BARELY makes it not fall off to the ground.  totally covering her naughty bits.
[01:24:14] <Ramiel> Suddenly a giant blue octahedral angel appears out of nowhere and incinerates them all for their horribly sinful behavior.  THE END
[01:25:08] * Med GOES INTO FULL DEMON FORM AND CONDEMNS THE ANGEL TO AN ETERNAL FATE OF DAMNATION!
[01:25:10] * Med i mean/
[01:25:11] * Med sings in the shower o/~
[01:25:38] <~Mirai> It doesn't actually incinerate them, but it does let out a horrifying otherworldly piercing shriek right now, as  if in response to them making out.  actually it's to try to wake Lesieli up.
[01:25:50] <~Mirai> emphasis on "try"
[01:29:17] <Melons> Melanie pulls away at the end of the kiss, her fearful expression now turned apologetic. "Sorry...I can probably look up how to do that better..."
[01:30:29] <~Mirai> "It was..."
[01:30:33] <~Mirai> "That was really nice!"
[01:30:39] <~Mirai> "C-can we do it more?"
[01:31:09] <Melons> "I-If it wasn't too...shitty...I guess...sure...more..."
[01:32:30] <~Mirai> She readjusts her towel and ties it back on, then leans in again~
[01:34:01] <Melons> Mel goes for the kill. Kiss. Definitely no murder.
[01:35:00] <~Mirai> As the two young ladies find out that they do enjoy doing amorous things with ladies...
[01:35:16] * Med is all soapy, and then she rinses off and she's not! also there's a small chance that one of her pokemon was awake and got to take a shower with her. probably blues, knives, or batsy, since mcmillions isnt exactly fond of water and thus demands a little more care than Med just going LET'S TAKE A BATH TOGETHER, and getting FLUFFERS to take a bath is a whole day's work in itself!
[01:35:16] * Med and she's scared of what chomps would try to eat in the shower @_@
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
[01:35:44] <~Mirai> We shift our attention elsewhere, where a certain woman is making a call to another woman.
[01:36:17] <Alexis> More specifically, a call to a woman in an entirely different region in some direction that's not really all that far from Wakino.
[01:40:37] <Lecia> There may or may not be music faintly playing in the background, behind the phone. "Hello, this is...Alex, right? Do I have that right?"
[01:41:14] <Med> woah, some shadowy phone call is more important then Med shampooing Blues's ears? :c w-well... f-fine then! ._.
[01:41:19] <Alexis> A crimson haired woman lazes on a recliner that's, for some odd reason, situated against the wall of a gym, where many Pokemon are in various states of activity. A tall Blaziken and a serious-looking Scizor wearing boxing gloves are sparring away in a boxing ring; a fluffy Altaria sleeps on a perch sized just for it; a Stratagem lies in tatters, its constituent stones vibrating on the mat slightly; and a Golduck, Magneton, and Luxra
[01:41:20] <Alexis> y seem to be sharing a rather large bowl of cookies and engaging in something resembling animated conversation. As all three briefly look away, a fiery Sunflora and a snickering Zoroark make off with the container of baked goods.
[01:41:53] <Alexis> "Alex, Alexis, Lexi....all things my friends call me. We don't have to keep things formal."
[01:42:50] <Alexis> "What can I do for you?"
[01:44:05] <Lecia> "...Well, good! I was never one for being formal anyway. That's a relief~" There's a sigh of relief and everything. "Anyway, I've...got a job for you, if you're not too busy. A pretty important one, which is kind of secret so make sure no one's listening on the other end, alright?"
[01:44:33] <Alexis> "This -is- my work line, so that's probably a given."
[01:44:52] <Alexis> "I'll hear you out, sure, but I'm not exactly sure what you want with someone as far away as I am."
[01:46:40] <Lecia> "I looked you up, you fit what I'm looking for in a lot of ways. Does the term 'Team Aether' ring any bells?"
[01:47:14] <Alexis> "A few, but not as many as I'd like. Seen flashes of that name in the databases, but they're not local."
[01:50:52] <Lecia> "Well, they're making a resurgence all the way over here. They're an evil lot that experiments on Pokemon in the worst kind of ways. The main thing is their production of Shadow Pokemon. ...You know what those are, right?"
[01:51:50] <Alexis> "I've dealt with a few of them in my time, yes. Also dealt with sick bastards that like to experiment on Pokemon, too." She briefly recalls the very arrest that made her career - and broke her cover.
[01:52:10] <Alexis> "So I've guess you've called the right person. Any details?"
[01:53:16] <Alexis> As the Zoroark attempts to sneak past Alexis's recliner on the way to the kitchen, she presses a finger to the Pokemon's forehead, incidicating that, no, she's going to have to try harder to be a sneaky roguish thief.
[01:53:17] <Alexis> ....
[01:53:45] <Alexis> On brief consideration, she takes a handful of chocolate chip cookies from the Zoroark's bowl before allowing the Pokemon to pass on her merry way.
[01:58:36] * Med is now known as Roara
[01:58:40] <Lecia> "Yeah, Aether was the bunch that made the whole Shadow Pokemon thing bigger than nonexistent again. And it seems they're having even more fun with it than anyone else I've ever heard of. We're trying to get more details, but all we've really got is that they're making a comeback, and that the Shadow Pokemon that came from them are becoming more and more frequent among the pirates of the
[01:58:40] <Lecia> reigion."
[02:00:22] <Alexis> "So assuming you'll find a lead for me, what do you need me to do?" Alex asks before munching on a delicious cookie.
[02:03:21] <Lecia> "I thought that'd be obvious. Go undercover as a pirate yourself! You're bound to find a lead sooner or later, though I've definitely got a few things that I'll explain later. Oh, and a purification machine too, if you want to purify any Shadow Pokemon you end up finding. Oooh, and I've even got the perfect excuse for you to come over here~!"
[02:04:27] * Alexis has a sinking feeling that she might regret accepting this job.
[02:04:42] * Alexis sighs between bites. "Let's hear it, then."
[02:07:00] <Lecia> "An exhibition match with the champion of Wakino. You're a member of the league over there, so it wouldn't be too much of a stretch, right? And it'd be fun, wouldn't it~?"
[02:07:40] <Alexis> "I think I can give him a good fight, yeah. About being undercover as a pirate, though...."
[02:08:51] <Alexis> "Well, let me put it this way. Personal experience says that's the only sort of thing that works once, and I've already done my time undercover. Just disguising the reason for the trip as being for an exhibition match should be sufficient to fool Team Aether so they don't freak out about the Rangers coming down on their heads."
[02:12:27] <Alexis> "There's also the matter of being a public figure, which doesn't jive well with sneaky business."
[02:12:51] <Alexis> "Anything I try there would unfortunately have to be a little more above-board, unless you have a -really- solid and unusual plan for this."
[02:19:13] <Lecia> Lecia ponders just how much undercover work a particular group has actually done. On further pondering, maybe saying 'we've got a movie star undercover' probably doesn't actually work at all. Just Mako going into bars and coming out as best friends with buttpirates that just happen to be normal pirates too. Huh. "Hmm...well, you're from pretty far away, so people probably wouldn't
[02:19:13] <Lecia> recognize you just by looking at you if you're disguised enough. And I'm PRETTY GOOD with technology, so I could practically give you a new identity if it needs be. But...hm, maybe really sneaky stuff wasn't quite right. Still, you're more than welcome to not be sneaky about it if you really want! ...And even if you want nothing to do with this in the end, the match is still open if you
[02:19:14] <Lecia> want it~"
[02:19:51] <Alexis> "....try less about pirates and more about something that carries a little more legitimacy, like a privateer group."
[02:20:10] <Alexis> "It's easier to integrate into one of those and still keep an ear to the ground, I'd imagine."
[02:20:37] <Alexis> "Hitching with a group should also cover a place to stay, so what's left is the matter of a lead, travel, and payment."
[02:21:04] <Alexis> "I might need to bring an associate along, as well."
[02:21:24] <Alexis> "Assuming I can get him to pry his unclothed self from beneath his pile of women for long enough to listen, that is."
[02:21:53] <~Aori_Radidjiu> There's a snort, a male voice, in the background when Alex says "privateer"
[02:22:05] <Alexis> "...who's that?"
[02:22:50] <~Aori_Radidjiu> There's a faint male voice from Lecia's side of the line  "Oh, another public figure.  Don't mind me!"
[02:23:08] <Alexis> "I -do- mind, considering that supposedly, no one was supposed to be listening in."
[02:24:31] <Lecia> Oh, he heard that. "On your end. I know my end is secure, because I have this place on lockdown at the moment. He's another public figure who's in on this whole thing. You'll figure out who he is soon enough, so don't worry~"
[02:25:12] <Lecia> "That said, I'm pretty sure I can cover the group, alongside everything else~! No expenses!"
[02:25:20] <Alexis> "This isn't exactly inspiring confidence, you know."
[02:26:10] <Lecia> "I'd probably inspire more confidence if I was being all stuffy. You said I didn't have to be formal!"
[02:27:48] <Alexis> ".....alright. Call me with information on a group to mesh with and a lead and I'll be there as soon as I can take some time off work and contact my associate. But I want details by the time I get there."
[02:28:45] <Lecia> "You've got it! I'll...try to be a bit more prepared next time, promise!"
[02:29:40] <Alexis> "Always good to be on serious matters like this. I'll arrange for a plane right away and talk to my boss."
[02:30:16] <Alexis> "Tell the Champion he's in for the fight of his life, by the way. They make 'em tough here in Asteri."
[02:30:57] <~Aori_Radidjiu> The other public figure waggles his eyebrows and WOULD say something but talking seemed to be annoying the poor woman.
[02:31:07] <Lecia> "Hoho, I will. Though they make them tough here too, so you be prepared as well!"
[02:31:33] <Alexis> "Time to do some research, then. Contact you later."
[02:32:21] <Lecia> "Got it! And...good luck~!"
[02:33:55] * Alexis hangs up....and promptly returns to eating her cookies. :3 Between mouthfuls, she addresses her Blaziken. "Looks like we're going to be shipped off, Ro-Ro. Give it a week or so. You excited to get back to work?"
[02:34:15] <Alexis> "Because we sure as hell aren't going to be cooped up in the League's business for long."
[02:36:18] * Alexis is now known as Break
[02:37:06] <~Aori_Radidjiu> And that was how Alex got tangled into Wakino's business.
[02:37:09] <~Aori_Radidjiu> </session>
