  1. 01[14:53] <Botherer> Valor. Courage. Perseverance. These are the ingredients chosen to create the perfect little hero. But the Superhero Convention forgot to add an extra ingredient. Punctuality. ... Or something like that. Thus, the Flower Fluff Girl has yet to be saved! ... Seriously, what kind of terrible heroes are we that, be it in-character reasons or otherwise, it takes us like a whole in-character week to save a princess after watching her get kidnapped? This is just plain unacceptable, and to that effect, Michael and his faithful companion, Malto, have resolved that today will be the day that they save the princess Jessibelle!

  3. [14:54] <Falcon> YEA
  4. 06[14:55] * Falcon looks around for the Ray Of Hope
  5. 01[14:55] <Botherer> Departing to where they last saw the dragon flee, Michael and Malto find themselves at the base of a decently sized volcano. Looking up, they can see the smoke bubbling up and pouring out over the sides, coating the summit in a dark fog!
  6. 01[14:55] <Botherer> Perception Check and Nick Change, Michael!
  7. 03[14:56] * Falcon is now known as Michael
  8. [14:56] <Michael> 1d20
  9. [14:56] <DiceMaid-9001> Michael, 1d20: 12 [1d20=12]
  10. 01[14:58] <Botherer> You look around, and you don’t see him, but you do see a couple of kid-sized... And shaped... holes in the ground not too far from your left. A loud ”Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!” shortly follows, and looking up to the sound, you see the shiny silver superhero tights and a neon green cape burst out from atop the smoke.
  11. [14:59] <Michael> "What"
  12. 01[14:59] <Botherer> If you had to count the number of kid-shaped holes in the ground, there’d be... Oh, I’d say maybe half a dozen at this point?
  13. [15:00] <Michael> "What are you-"
  14. 01[15:00] <Botherer> well, don’t just stand there, he’s falling from the sky!
  15. 06[15:01] * Michael LAUNCHES INTO ACTION to catch him
  16. 01[15:01] <Botherer> Gimme a Dexterity check, Michael, as you sprint into action!
  17. [15:01] <Michael> 1d20+7
  18. [15:01] <DiceMaid-9001> Michael, 1d20+7: 13 [1d20=6]
  19. [15:02] <Michael> (I can dig it)
  20. 01[15:03] <Botherer> It’s probably a good thing you noticed those holes in the ground earlier, as you have plenty of time to run past... Or at least around them, anyways, to get yourself in position. The kid lands in your arms with a thud and an “Oomph!”
  21. 06[15:03] * Michael looks at kid ಠ_ಠ
  22. [15:03] <Michael> "What the heck"
  23. 01[15:05] <Botherer> The Ray of Hope looks up at you, not looking particularly injured... But definitely a little defeated. “Man... Being a superhero’s a lot harder than it is in the cartoons...”
  24. 06[15:05] * Michael nods
  25. [15:06] <Michael> "But that doesn't mean it's impossible."
  26. 06[15:06] * Michael looks up
  27. [15:06] <Michael> "What were you trying to do anyway?"
  28. 01[15:08] <Botherer> Ray hops out of your arms and back onto the ground. And takes on his HEROIC VOICE. “My trusted companion, Skelethor, and I, had continued our pursuit of the wicked dragon atop this very mountain, and have made several attempts thus far to reclaim the fair maiden from the forces of evil!”
  29. [15:08] <Michael> *pokerface*
  30. 01[15:08] <Botherer> Voice drop. “... The dragon keeps cheating, though, and just slaps me off the side of the mountain with its tail every time... It’s not fair! He’s cheating!”
  31. [15:09] <Michael> "Damn right he is. How about we take a crack at it together?"
  32. 06[15:09] * Michael swallows guilt with a bright smile
  33. 01[15:11] <Botherer> Even through his mask, sporting the same shade of green as his cape, you can see his eyes beam up. “You bet we will! Just... Gotta wait for Skelethor first. He usually comes crashing down...”
  34. [15:11] <Michael> !
  35. 01[15:12] <Botherer> Ray looks down at his arm, and looks at a watch, signing off with his fingers. “In three... Two...” “Cuuuuuuuuu!!!!” *Thud*
  36. [15:12] <Michael> :I

  39. 01[15:13] <Botherer> Skelethor lands right next to you, headfirst.
  40. [15:13] <Michael> "I-is he ok"
  41. 06[15:13] * Michael stoops down low and checks out skelethor
  42. 01[15:14] <Botherer> “He’ll be fine! He’s a superhero, just like me! Having a diamond-thick skull makes him next to invincible!”
  43. [15:14] <Michael> *poke*
  44. 01[15:14] <Botherer> You drop to your knees to look at the Cubone. He’s perfectly upright atop his head, his skull having lightning bolts etched into it, and his belly tinted yellow.
  45. 06[15:15] * Michael stares at it with wide eyes
  46. [15:15] <Michael> "wow"
  47. [15:15] <Michael> *blink*
  48. 01[15:16] <Botherer> The Cubone falls over upon poking him, and he grabs his hammer. “Cyuuuu!!!” He looks mad. Looking around, you see just as many implanted skull marks as you do kid-shaped holes in the ground.
  49. [15:18] <Michael> "Well then, since everything looks ok here", Michael says with a worried face,"How about about I go take a look first while you get your bearings?"
  50. 01[15:21] <Botherer> “It’s okay... We totally got this!” Ray attempts to charge up the hill before stumbling and falling over. “... On second thought... Maybe we should take a break... That’s the third time we got thrown down the side of the mountain today by those dragons today...”
  51. 06[15:21] * Michael frowns
  52. [15:22] <Michael> *nod*
  53. [15:22] <Michael> "Okay then, you stay here for a second" Michael says while chucking a fresh water at Ray of Hope
  54. [15:23] <Michael> "Malto and I will check this out"
  55. 06[15:23] * Michael rubs Rays head
  56. 01[15:23] <Botherer> “I can do that... But don’t think about trying to stop them without me!”
  57. 01[15:24] <Botherer> “I want to be a hero, too, ya know!”
  58. 06[15:25] * Michael grins "Don't worry about that, I'm sure you will catch up"
  59. [15:25] <Michael> "You are a hero after all"
  60. 06[15:26] * Michael rises and sets his jaw as he looks up at the mountain
  61. [15:26] <Michael> "Don't keep me waiting too long"
  62. 06[15:26] * Michael sets off at a jog up the mountain
  63. 01[15:27] <Botherer> Ray opens up his bottle of water and starts chugging, giving you a thumbs up. “Don’t you worry... Wherever the sun shines... A Ray of Hope will always be there!”
  64. [15:28] <Michael> (oh lord he's worse than me)
  65. 01[15:30] <Botherer> You and Malto (who i totally forgot about, sorry ;_;) start climbing up the side of the mountain. You can definitely tell it wasn’t made to have an easy walk as you climb up the side of it.
  66. 01[15:31] <Botherer> 5”Malto does not think... This mountain will be very friendly to him.”
  67. 06[15:31] * Michael chuckles
  68. [15:31] <Michael> "You need the exercise"
  69. [15:31] <Michael> "I gotta get you in shape"
  70. 01[15:31] <Botherer> He does. Even if he’s not very fat in the real world, his fat totally jiggles with each footstep he takes.
  71. [15:33] <Michael> "Can you tell where they are boy?"
  72. 01[15:34] <Botherer> 5”Malto can try to smell things...” He climbs up a ledge and flops on the floor, panting. 5”Malto is in terrible need of exercise.”
  73. 01[15:35] <Botherer> Roll Tracker?
  74. [15:35] <Michael> *nod*
  75. [15:35] <Michael> 1d20
  76. [15:35] <DiceMaid-9001> Michael, 1d20: 20 [1d20=20]
  77. [15:35] <Michael> (YEAAA BOYYYYY)
  78. 01[15:37] <Botherer> Sniff. Sniff sniff. Malto’s ears perk up real high. 5“There! At the top of the mountain! Malto smells them! Dragons! Lots and lots of dragons! ... And brimstone. Malto also smells lots of brimstone.”
  79. 01[15:37] <Botherer> 5”Do you think Malto can be friends with the dragons?”
  80. [15:37] <Michael> ...
  81. [15:37] <Michael> "Did you say dragons...plural?
  82. [15:37] <Michael> "As in more than one?"
  83. 01[15:37] <Botherer> 5”Yes.”
  84. [15:37] <Michael> ...
  85. 01[15:38] <Botherer> 5”Malto smells six. One is wearing lipstick and very cheap perfume.”
  86. 06[15:38] * Michael throws up his head and laughs
  87. [15:38] <Michael> "EXCELLENT, I WAS WORRIED I WOULD GET BORED"
  88. 01[15:41] <Botherer> 5”Malto is not sure if you are being serious or not.” He headtilts, puzzled by your tone of voice. ... You’re being sarcastic, right?
  89. [15:42] <Michael> "Yes malto, yes I am"
  90. [15:42] <Michael> "I wonder if we can sneak up there..."
  91. [15:43] <Michael> *whispers* "Ok malto, slowly and quietly"
  92. 01[15:43] <Botherer> Malto rolls over on his side. 5”Malto will do his best, Michael.”
  93. 06[15:43] * Michael continues up the mountain, trying to be careful of where he steps
  94. 03[15:46] * Celeste (b@sux-21A369F3.hsd1.il.comcast.net) has joined #Dreamscape
  95. [15:47] <Michael> "hmmm"
  96. 06[15:47] * Michael tries to lift malto
  97. [15:47] <Michael> 1d20+7 str?
  98. [15:47] <DiceMaid-9001> Michael, str?: 26 [1d20=19]
  99. [15:47] <Michael> +5 strong g= ok
  100. 02[15:47] * Rainy (b@sux-21A369F3.hsd1.il.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout)
  101. 01[15:53] <Botherer> You and Malto both haul butt up the side of the mountain. For Malto in particular, that’s a lot of butt to haul, which makes it exceptionally good for him. (Attention spans are also terrible things to have. Especially when they’re terrible.) At some point, after making your way over a Numel sprawled out in the middle of the floor and your path, you find yourself pretty much consumed by the smoke.
  102. 03[15:53] * Lecia (Genshuku@sux-8B60D341.hsd1.il.comcast.net) has joined #Dreamscape
  103. 01[15:55] <Botherer> You’re pretty sure you’re near the top of the mountain. If nothing else, by the periodic growls you hear.
  104. 06[15:56] * Michael bends his face to Malto's ear
  105. [15:56] <Michael> *whisper* "Can you see anything boy?"
  106. [15:56] <Michael> *miracle eye*
  107. 01[15:57] <Botherer> 5”Yes.”
  108. [15:57] <Michael> ...
  109. [15:57] <Michael> "WHAT do you see malto"
  110. 01[15:58] <Botherer> 5”Malto sees you, Michael. Malto sees you out of the corner of his eye.”
  111. 01[15:58] <Botherer> 5”Also dragons.”
  112. [15:59] <Michael> ...
  113. [15:59] <Michael> "But do you see Jessie?"
  114. 01[16:00] <Botherer> 5”Malto does not see her. Please forgive Malto.”
  115. [16:00] <Michael> *twitch*
  116. 06[16:00] * Michael jumps to conclusions
  117. 01[16:02] <Botherer> 5”Is Michael okay?”
  118. [16:02] <Michael> "No" Michael says, fixing the Hands of heaven and hell
  119. 06[16:03] * Michael stomps on over to the biggest dragon
  120. [16:03] <Michael> (if I can see it anyway)
  121. [16:04] <Michael> *grab*
  122. 01[16:04] <Botherer> You climb up to the top of the mountain. It seems like, directly a ways across from you, you can make out something big and sky blue, draped in crimson. Low to the ground, but it’s there.
  123. [16:04] <Michael> *GRAB*
  124. [16:05] <Michael> 1d20 circle throw
  125. [16:05] <DiceMaid-9001> Michael, circle throw: 20 [1d20=20]
  126. [16:05] <Michael> gtfo
  127. 01[16:05] <Botherer> So... Just to make sure of what you’re doing... You’re just charging right across straightforward to go and grab the thing you see?
  128. [16:05] <Michael> yes 1,1 hilarity ensues
  129. 01[16:06] <Botherer> Well, umm...
  130. 01[16:06] <Botherer> You remember how I said this was a volcano?
  131. [16:07] <Michael> (LAWL)
  132. 01[16:09] <Botherer> Yeah, about that... Volcanoes usually have giant gaping holes in the middle of them.
  133. 01[16:09] <Botherer> The ones that volcanoes usually spew lava out of.
  134. [16:10] <Michael> right
  135. 01[16:10] <Botherer> This is one of the usual ones. Dexterity as, upon coming to this realization, you spring across the chasm!
  136. [16:10] <Michael> ...
  137. [16:10] <Michael> 1d20+7
  138. [16:10] <DiceMaid-9001> Michael, 1d20+7: 18 [1d20=11]
  139. 01[16:11] <Botherer> Also, lemme know if you put Malto down.
  140. [16:11] <Lecia> Reminder: Malto is fat
  141. [16:11] <Michael> (I did, this was a me stomping to chuck something action)
  142. [16:11] <Michael> (im not holding malto)
  143. 01[16:13] <Botherer> You see the ground disappearing before you, giving way to huge abysses of smoke... You take a mighty bound, and attempt to leap across the chasm! You feel like you’re invincible as you soar through the air... And continue to soar... And continue... And continue, and... Oh fuck, you totally jumped short, didn’t you?
  144. [16:13] <Michael> (YOU OBVIOUSLY DON'T KNOW THAT I AM THE CHOSEN ONE)
  145. [16:14] <Lecia> (BEST FEAT IN ACTION)
  146. 01[16:15] <Botherer> Of course, you are the Chosen One, Michael!
  147. 01[16:15] <Botherer> As you begin to descend into the volcano, you sprout fiery wings!
  148. 01[16:15] <Botherer> Continue to plummet, or get the hell outta here?
  149. [16:16] <Michael> quick check
  150. [16:16] <Michael> is there actually lava below me?
  151. 01[16:17] <Botherer> Too much smoke to tell. All you know is it’s pretty warm in here! Like the mouth of the Abyss’ level of warmth, except hotter.
  152. [16:17] <Michael> then bugger out of course, I may be invincible but im not THAT invincible
  153. 01[16:19] <Botherer> Then you take wing and get the fuck outta dodge! A trail of crimson, of dying embers, follows you in its magnificence as you soar outwards! Their light pierces the veil of darkness as you emerge, and you make the creature out to indeed be the Salamence from previous! And those growls... It’s asleep!
  154. 01[16:19] <Botherer> Those were just snores.
  155. 01[16:20] <Botherer> Continue to fuck it up?
  156. 01[16:20] <Botherer> You still have that Nat20 Circle Throw.
  157. [16:21] <Michael> yes
  158. [16:21] <Michael> because nat 20 deserves to be used
  159. 01[16:21] <Botherer> The beast is curled up in a ball-ish shape, tail wrapping around the length of its body... You find this a perfectly acceptable place from which to grab the Salamence.
  160. 01[16:21] <Botherer> That or its neck.
  161. [16:22] <Michael> tail for great justice
  162. 01[16:22] <Botherer> Fluff and roll!
  163. 03[16:23] * Rainy (b@sux-21A369F3.hsd1.il.comcast.net) has joined #Dreamscape
  164. 06[16:24] * Michael swoops down and grabs the Salamence by the tail, flapping the remnant of his burning wings to give himself some air. He spins once, twice, thrice and releases it, landing on the ground in a kneeling position
  165. [16:24] <Michael> 2d10+8+23+14+5+7 I think
  166. [16:24] <DiceMaid-9001> Michael, I think: 72 [2d10=5,10]
  167. 01[16:25] <Botherer> Roll another 2d10+8
  168. [16:25] <Michael> errr
  169. [16:25] <Michael> 2d10+8
  170. [16:25] <DiceMaid-9001> Michael, 2d10+8: 18 [2d10=4,6]
  171. 02[16:25] * Celeste (b@sux-21A369F3.hsd1.il.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout)
  172. [16:25] <Michael> (first roll is actually 49)
  173. 01[16:27] <Botherer> The Salamence feels its belly dragged on the ground. In the midst of being launched as it awakens, it lets out a yelp of surprise and pain before being launched, disappearing in the smoky abyss. You hear a “whumph...”
  174. 01[16:27] <Botherer> As it departs. Followed by a loud crash.
  175. 01[16:28] <Botherer> You should probably look out for the hole in the ground later.
  176. 06[16:28] * Michael grins
  177. 01[16:28] <Botherer> As you look down, however...
  178. 06[16:28] * Michael hopes it didn't hit Ray
  179. 01[16:29] <Botherer> You see a few little Pokemon in a straw nest.
  180. [16:29] <Michael> ...
  181. 01[16:29] <Botherer> A Bagon, an Archen, a Larvitar, and a Deino, the latter sporting a fiery mane instead of the dark, shaggy fur.
  182. 01[16:31] <Botherer> The Archen hugs a bone tightly as it looks up curiously at you. <Where’d Mama go?>
  183. [16:32] <Michael> ...
  184. [16:32] <Michael> "For a flight"
  185. 06[16:32] * Michael really wishes he had some kind of wind item
  186. 06[16:33] * Michael looks the hell around for some kind of evidence of jessi being here
  187. [16:33] <Michael> 1d20 wis?
  188. [16:33] <DiceMaid-9001> Michael, wis?: 18 [1d20=18]
  189. 01[16:34] <Botherer> <Do you know when Mama’s gonna get back? I’m hungwy.>
  190. 01[16:34] <Botherer> You find Jessibelle’s dress lying on the ground. It’s got a single large tear in it, around the backside.
  191. [16:34] <Michael> *twitch*
  192. 06[16:36] * Michael controls his growing rage and takes up the dress with one hand
  193. 01[16:37] <Botherer> The dress has just the tear. Nothing more in terms of damage to the dress.
  194. 01[16:37] <Botherer> The Deino sneezes. A burst of flame shoots out just beneath your feet. It looks up, groggy, like it just woke up from a nap.
  195. 01[16:37] <Botherer> Err, just short of your feet.
  196. [16:38] <Michael> "Everything will be fine, just wait here a second"
  197. 06[16:39] * Michael takes the dress and stores it
  198. [16:39] <Michael> "What happened to the lady that wore this?"
  199. 01[16:41] <Botherer> <Uhhh... I think she went with Meemaw to get medicine again...> *Atchoo!* An even larger spray of flames. <Denden’s been sick all week!>
  200. [16:41] <Michael> ...
  201. 06[16:43] * Michael exhales loudly
  202. [16:43] <Michael> "Do you know where she gets the medicine?"
  203. 01[16:46] <Botherer> <They went to Ye Olde Town last week... That city in the water couple days after... Pawt Town yesterday... Maybe they twied that city in the sky this time?>
  204. [16:46] <Michael> ...
  205. 01[16:48] <Botherer> Ray climbs up the hill, visibly exhausted. “Oh man... I thought you said you were gonna wait for me before serving out justice!” He spurts it out between exhausted pants.
  206. 01[16:48] <Botherer> makes it up to the top of the volcano**
  207. [16:48] <Michael> "Oh don't worry, there is still plenty of justice to go around. Watch your step, that first one is a doozy"
  208. 06[16:49] * Michael shouts over
  209. 01[16:49] <Botherer> “I know... I fell in there once...” pant. “That’s where the Cerberus dragon was!”
  210. [16:51] <Michael> ...
  211. 06[16:52] * Michael ducks
  212. 06[16:52] * Michael looks around with shifty eyes
  213. 06[16:52] * Michael stoopwalks over to where Ray is
  214. 01[16:53] <Botherer> Sneakywalking sneakywalking away from the babies.
  215. 01[16:54] <Botherer> Considering you actually know about the giant hole in the volcano, you can actually do this real easy.
  216. 06[16:54] * Michael sidles up to Ray
  217. [16:55] <Michael> "What's all this about Cerberus dragons?"
  218. 01[16:57] <Botherer> “The Cerberus Dragon! A vicious monster who lives in the depths of the volcano! Born of the fiery wrath of man, and the evil lurking within his heart, it stops at nothing to ensure the destruction of all who stand before it!”
  219. 02[16:58] * Lecia (Genshuku@sux-8B60D341.hsd1.il.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout)
  220. [17:00] <Michael> ..."I'll keep that in mind"
  221. [17:01] <Michael> "Know anything about a city in the sky?"
  222. 01[17:01] <Botherer> He flashes a cheesy grin. “Pretty evil and scary, right? I made up that description of it myself! Makes it sound really evil, right? ... Which only will make it more awesome when we slay it in the name of justice! And saving the princess in distress!”
  223. 01[17:02] <Botherer> “City in the sky... City in the sky... Oh, I know! The Fantastic Floating City!”
  224. 03[17:02] * Lecia (Genshuku@sux-8B60D341.hsd1.il.comcast.net) has joined #Dreamscape
  225. [17:04] <Michael> "Know how to get there?"
  226. 01[17:05] <Botherer> “Know how to fly?”
  227. [17:07] <Michael> :I
  228. [17:07] <Michael> "what an inconvenient city"
  229. [17:08] <Michael> "No, but I do know someone that can"
  230. 06[17:08] * Michael sets off at a brisk trot in the direction he chucked the dragon
  231. 01[17:10] <Botherer> Malto rolls along after Michael and Ray. 5”You are doing a very good job at assisting me in shedding all of this excess weight, Michael...” he says as he chases you down the volcano. ... Which is followed by lots of “Ow”s and “Oomph”s and “Malto regrets this decision of becoming fat”s as he bounces down.
  232. 01[17:10] <Botherer> at assisting Malto**
  233. 01[17:15] <Botherer> Malto bounces around all squishy and jiggly down the hill. Bouncing his way right into the Salamence you just cleanly chucked. The Salamence’s hole is easily three times larger in each direction than the ones surrounding it.
  234. 01[17:15] <Botherer> It’s gotten most of its body free from the ground, but is growling furiously and loudly as it struggles to get its head out of the ground.
  235. [17:18] <Michael> "Hey, Hey you! Take me to the girl!" Michael says while approaching
  236. 01[17:20] <Botherer> *Pop* The Salamence pops its head out of the ground. “Yeah, that’s right! Your days of evil are numbered! Return the princess to us, or prepare to have the light of judgment shone down upon you!”
  237. 01[17:21] <Botherer> The Salamence looks at Michael, and is visibly enraged.
  238. [17:22] <Michael> (he's enraged, IM ENRAGED)
  239. 01[17:23] <Botherer> Well, can you blame it? You kind of did throw it off the side of a mountain.
  240. [17:23] <Michael> (he threw ray off, so there)
  241. [17:23] <Michael> )even)
  242. 01[17:23] <Botherer> (Seven times.)
  243. [17:23] <Michael> "Listen up here, you crashed the party and kidnapped my friend and threw my other friend off the mountain...5.. SEVEN times"
  244. [17:24] <Michael> "Now I don't want to get any rowdier than I have to, so you better take me to Jessi or we can have round 2 right here"
  245. 01[17:25] <Botherer> The Salamence roars in your faces. Malto rolls behind Michael, scared. 5”Malto does not remember being so intimidated by this creature previously. Then again, Malto was not as fat previously, either.”
  246. [17:26] <Michael> (oh no she didn't)
  247. 01[17:26] <Botherer> Commence the Steamrolling? Y/N?
  248. [17:27] <Michael> (one...last try)
  249. [17:28] <Michael> "Hey, the only reason why im not paying you back for all the trouble you have caused, is because I want your kid to get the help it needs. Now one last time, are you going to take me to the girl or not"
  250. 01[17:28] <Botherer> “!”
  251. 01[17:29] <Botherer> The Salamence lowers its guard.
  252. 06[17:30] * Michael narrows eyes [aura reading] to make sure
  253. 01[17:32] <Botherer> The aura you see... It’s a shade of grey, wavering in consistency.
  254. 06[17:35] * Michael tries to project peace and mutual good "Now if I help you out, will you take me to her?"
  255. 01[17:37] <Botherer> The Salamence pauses before slowly bowing her head down. She growls towards you before flicking her head back.
  256. [17:41] <Michael> I DUNNO WHAT THAT MEANS BUT OK
  257. [17:41] <Michael> 1d20 MEGA PUNCH GROUND
  258. [17:41] <DiceMaid-9001> Michael, MEGA PUNCH GROUND: 15 [1d20=15]
  259. 01[17:42] <Botherer> ... You’re punching it?
  260. [17:42] <Michael> the ground
  261. [17:42] <Michael> because im oooobbviousslllyyyy strong enough to break it
  262. [17:42] <Michael> out
  263. [17:43] <Michael> and because I need to punch at least 1 thing per session
  264. 01[17:43] <Botherer> You smash the ground. A rain of rocks bursts out from the ground, landing at the Salamence’s side, increasing in size as they get closer to her.
  265. 01[17:43] <Botherer> She’s leaningawayfromMichael.png
  266. [17:44] <Michael> >_>
  267. [17:44] <Michael> <_<
  268. 06[17:44] * Michael helps Salamence out of the ground
  269. 01[17:45] <Botherer> She’s not trapped in the ground. “I think she just wanted us to get on her back...”
  270. 06[17:46] * Michael gets on the back and pretends like nothing happened at all
  271. 01[17:47] <Botherer> Once everyone’s aboard, and Malto’s been more or less glued onto the thing’s back or recalled to his Pokeball...
  272. 01[17:47] <Botherer> The Salamence takes off, upwards and into the sky!
  273. 06[17:49] * Michael enjoys flight
  274. 01[17:49] <Botherer> You all soar upwards and soar right into a cloud. But not through it. You kind of just like *Dink* into it as the Salamence goes face first into it.
  275. [17:50] <Michael> ಠ_ಠ
  276. 01[17:52] <Botherer> “... Should’ve told her you have to be careful up here... I think she just crashed into part of the city.”
  277. [17:53] <Michael> "I thought she knew about it"
  278. 01[17:53] <Botherer> “I did, too...”
  279. 01[17:54] <Botherer> 5”Malto wants to eat the clouds.”
  280. [17:54] <Michael> ...is she ok?
  281. 01[17:55] <Botherer> ... Okay, *dink* wasn’t quite the right soundeffect more than *fwump* The Salamence’s head kind of got stuck in there. She flaps her wings furiously to disperse the clouds away and break herself free. She then shakes her head.
  282. 01[17:55] <Botherer> Malto then reaches over the side to try and lick a cloud.
  283. 01[17:56] <Botherer> He can’t reach.
  284. [17:57] <Michael> ಠ_ಠ
  285. 06[17:57] * Michael reaches out and tries to grab cloud
  286. 01[17:58] <Botherer> You stick your hand out and grab a cloud. It’s soft, cold, and light and fluffy.
  287. 01[17:58] <Botherer> If you clamp down on it, it balls up and turns solid.
  288. 01[18:04] <Botherer> 5”Malto wants to taste it, Michael! Can Malto have a taste, please?” :D
  289. 06[18:05] * Michael silentyl hands malto the cloudball
  290. 01[18:06] <Botherer> Malto laps it up right out of your hand, leaving nothing but a sticky residue. 5”Malto tastes... Ice Cream!”
  291. 01[18:06] <Botherer> 5”Mixed with cotton candy, too!”
  292. [18:08] <Michael> !?!?!?
  293. 06[18:08] * Michael NOMS PART OF CLOUD
  294. 01[18:10] <Botherer> You take a bite into the cloud, and... It’s got a really unusual texture. Like, it’s rich, thick and creamy ,but at the same time light, airy and fluffy. As it descends upon your tongue, it’s as if a rain of all different kinds of flavors are dancing around on your tongue, each flavor hitting you as it “steps” about.
  295. 06[18:10] * Michael leans back from cloud
  296. [18:11] <Michael> "Must...resist"
  297. 03[18:11] * Aori_Radidjiu (aoriradidj@60B00C7.60035415.D89482D8.IP) has joined #Dreamscape
  298. 01[18:13] <Botherer> If you’re not making an active attempt to resist, you probably end up stockpiling a good deal of the ice cream cloud before the Salamence gets free and flies off with you guys, to the flipside of the cloud.
  299. 06[18:13] * Michael TAKES ALL THE CLOUDS
  300. 01[18:14] <Botherer> It’s then that you see the city. All kinds of odd satellites and towers seem to be portruding from a sea of clouds, expanding just about as far as the eye can see. Futuristic cities and glass skyscrapers stretch over the vast expanse of the clouds.
  301. 01[18:15] <Botherer> Something you find odd is that things are going up in smoke and exploding everywhere, but no one seems to really mind all that much. They just go along with their business as if nothing unusual was happening.
  302. [18:16] <Michael> ....ಠ_ಠ
  303. [18:16] <Michael> "This entire place is weird"
  304. 01[18:17] <Botherer> Several of the larger towers seem to disappear into the blackness of outer space.
  305. 01[18:17] <Botherer> Which, by the way, if you look up, you can totally see the stars, a couple dozen moons, and everything!
  306. [18:18] <Michael> "I take it back, this place is awesome"
  307. 01[18:20] <Botherer> “It is! I bet if I lived here, I could be a defender of all of the cosmos!” His head’s way up in the clouds right now... Actually, that’s not true. You guys are already over the clouds!
  308. 06[18:21] * Michael stands up on SALAMENCE's back and takes in THE EVERYTHING
  309. [18:22] <Michael> "Now then, TO JESSI!"
  310. 01[18:22] <Botherer> At this point, you have a majestic view of everything! The clouds are just translucent enough from atop that you can see everything below... It’s like you’re really on top of the world!
  311. 01[18:23] <Botherer> The Salamence brings you guys down, though you have to be wary of a jetpack-bound Clefairy, spiraling out of control, that almost flies right into you guys as you descend. It seems to be okay if you look back.
  312. [18:24] <Michael> (I was worried for a sec)
  313. 01[18:25] <Botherer> The Salamence drops you off in front of a directory. The first thing you see as you look around is most every arrow has SCIENCE on it. Every arrow on the touch screen directory. MEDICAL SCIENCE, FOSSIL SCIENCE, POKEMON SCIENCE, and more! You name the science, it’s there!
  314. [18:26] <Michael> >fossil science
  315. [18:26] <Michael> >FOSSIL SCIENCE
  316. [18:26] <Michael> "Man, Lecia would love this place, I should get her somet-"
  317. 06[18:26] * Michael remembers his empy wallet
  318. [18:27] <Michael> "Anyway, I guess Jessi would be at medical? Thanks for the ride Sally(yes I have named her sally). I'll try to get medicine for your younglings"
  319. 01[18:27] <Botherer> Poor Michael.
  320. 01[18:27] <Botherer> Poor, poor broke Michael.
  321. [18:27] <Michael> "Lets go Ray"
  322. 06[18:28] * Michael hops off Sally's back, catching malto as he rolls off
  323. 01[18:28] <Botherer> (That’s okay, too, who hasn’t named their female Salamence that? I know I did ingame once :3)
  324. 01[18:28] <Botherer> (Or maybe it was a boy one I named Salvatore)
  325. 06[18:30] * Michael resists urge to pet the dragon
  326. 01[18:31] <Botherer> ANYWAYS... After poking around on the touch screen, you get a print-out with directions! Following it, you head to the Medical Science pavilion! It seems the greatest concentration of explosions is here, one going off, oh... Every seven seconds, I’d say? Terrible nerdlike variants of curses, like “Aww, butane!” and “Damn it all to helium!”... Really, really terrible variants are heard every which way you look.
  327. 01[18:31] <Botherer> Several of the buildings seem to take the shape of flasks and beakers... One seems to literally bubbling up at the top and overflowing, its contents visible and spilling over.
  328. 06[18:32] * Michael avoids bubbling building
  329. 01[18:35] <Botherer> Another seems to have a giant atom for a structure, with the electrons floating around on the orbitals surrounding it.
  330. 01[18:36] <Botherer> As the electrons circle around, they seem to crackle and spark whenever two would collide at the intersections. Considering how fast electrons travel, this happens a lot. ... Even if electrons don’t actually collide on the orbitals.
  331. [18:37] <Michael> cool
  332. 06[18:37] * Michael looks around for somebody to ask questions
  333. [18:37] <Michael> TO THE ELECTRIC BUILDING MAYBE
  334. 01[18:41] <Botherer> To the electric building it is! Inside, you find yourself in what looks to be a pharmacy. Everywhere you look, machine arms like the ones you’d find in crane games seem to be buzzing about, sealing up all kinds of unusual vials, labelling them, and setting them all down on the shelves, amongst other things. As Malto rolls in, one picks him up, and a laser eye appears before him. It shines the red lane of light over him. “Analysis: Body Mass Index - Forty seven point sixty three percent. Recommended Solution: Fat Flayer 3120.”
  335. 01[18:41] <Botherer> It then drops Malto towards the front of the store. 5”Malto wishes you would not decree his weight publicly.”
  336. [18:42] <Michael> *grin* "Reminds me of the potion factory"
  337. [18:42] <Michael> "JESSIBELLE ARE YOU IN HERE!"
  338. 06[18:42] * Michael shouts over the din
  339. 01[18:44] <Botherer> You hear your voice echo across the hallway. A voice echoes back. “Hello? To whom does the calling out to me belong to?”
  340. 01[18:44] <Botherer> the voice calling out ...**
  341. 01[18:45] <Botherer> -to (the one at the end)
  342. [18:45] <Michael> !!!
  343. 06[18:46] * Michael rushes towards the sound
  344. 01[18:49] <Botherer> Dashing across the pharmacy, you and Ray get to the end in no time flat. There, you see not only Jessibelle, who’s in a dress nowhere near as elegant formal as the one she was wearing when you first encountered her, and another woman with rich, scarlet hair in a silver but otherwise simple and modest dress.
  345. [18:51] <Michael> "JESSIE!"
  346. 01[18:53] <Botherer> “Oh, Sir Michael!” She draws a gloved hand over her face to conceal it but a bit. “It’s ever so delightful to be in your presence once more!”
  347. 01[18:54] <Botherer> Ray adopts his heroic voice to speak. “O, princess! How we had worried for your well being! We had feared that you had been consumed by the dark beast!”
  348. 06[18:54] * Michael throws his hands open and scoops her up
  349. [18:54] <Michael> "YOU'RE ALIVE"
  350. 01[18:56] <Botherer> The girl’s effortlessly ensnared within your grasp.
  351. 01[18:57] <Botherer> “Oh, my... I should’ve been more wary of such a reception!”
  352. 02[18:58] * Lecia (Genshuku@sux-8B60D341.hsd1.il.comcast.net) Quit (Ping timeout)
  353. 06[18:58] * Michael realizes what's up sets her down and steps backward quietly
  354. [18:59] <Michael> "Sorry"
  355. 01[18:59] <Botherer> <Ray> “Indeed! When you’re presumed to be within the flesh of a malicious beast, your continued existence is much cause to rejoice for!”
  356. 03[18:59] * Lecia (Genshuku@sux-8B60D341.hsd1.il.comcast.net) has joined #Dreamscape
  357. 01[19:01] <Botherer> <Jessibelle> “There’s no need to apologize for showing concern over little old me!”
  358. [19:03] <Michael> "Ah, well, we are glad you are safe."
  359. 03[19:03] * DiceMaid-9001 is now known as RichterBelmont
  360. [19:03] <Michael> "I think I have the situation figured out
  361. [19:03] <Michael> "How goes the medicine hunt?"
  362. 03[19:03] * RichterBelmont is now known as DiceMaid-9001
  363. [19:03] <Michael> !
  364. 06[19:03] * Michael turns the other woman and bows slightly,
  365. [19:04] <Michael> "I apologize for ignoring you madam. I'm Michael"
  366. 01[19:04] <Botherer> She turns back to the counter and picks up a small baggy. The label printed on it reads “Scorching Sniffle Slayer Rx 10000”, and gives a glance at the scarlet haired girl, who’s just kind of staaaaring at the two of you, half in confusion and half out of nervousness. “It went simply delightful! It was foolish of us to have thought to search elsewhere before the most technologically advanced demesne within the Dream World!”
  367. 01[19:05] <Botherer> As you address her, she locks up a moment, then retreats behind Jessibelle.
  368. [19:06] <Michael> .-.
  369. 06[19:06] * Michael sadfaces
  370. [19:06] <Michael> "Okay..."
  371. 06[19:06] * Michael turns back to jessie
  372. 01[19:06] <Botherer> <Ray> “Do not fear, maiden! We harbor no ill intent towards you!” He tries to approach her, but she kind of does that “cat and mouse behind the table” thing using Jessie as the table.
  373. [19:06] <Michael> "Well, I'm glad that went well. Who's your friend?"
  374. 02[19:07] * Aori_Radidjiu (aoriradidj@60B00C7.60035415.D89482D8.IP) Quit (Ping timeout)
  375. 01[19:08] <Botherer> Jessibelle sighs. “I ask that you forgive her... She’s terribly uncomfortable with people... You simply wouldn’t believe the endeavor that was making her comfortable in my presence!”
  376. 01[19:10] <Botherer> “I’d like to give you a formal introduction to Atlanta, though!” She extends a hand as best as she can to go over towards the girl, but accidentally thwacks Ray in the head in the process, knocking him over.
  377. 06[19:11] * Michael chuckles
  378. 01[19:12] <Botherer> “... At least, that’s what I choose to call her... She hasn’t actually informed me of her name, but she’s had no complaints with my choice! It is, after all, one of my own choosing!”
  379. 01[19:12] <Botherer> Ray rubs his head as he gets up, losing the hero. “Owww... That wasn’t even fair!”
  380. 01[19:18] <Botherer> Losing the hero voice**
  381. 06[19:19] * Michael grins
  382. [19:19] <Michael> "Well it's a pleasure to meet you anyway Atlanta"
  383. [19:19] <Michael> "So what now Jessi? People are worried about you ya know"
  384. 01[19:22] <Botherer> Jessibelle gasps. “Oh my... When Atlanta’s children had informed me that she was in need of searching for medicine for them, I had gotten so caught up in pursuing it, I had forgotten to alert the others... That’s what the Salamence had brought me over to their nest for!”
  385. 01[19:24] <Botherer> <Ray> “So... You weren’t taken to get eaten? Not getting eaten’s great, but I wanted to be a hero!” He pouts a bit.
  386. [19:25] <Michael> "But...you called for help, I"
  387. 06[19:25] * Michael has the most confus face now
  388. [19:27] <Michael> "Wait, Atlanta's children?"
  389. 06[19:27] * Michael is even more confus
  390. 01[19:30] <Botherer> <Jessibelle> “I hadn’t much explained to me until my arrival, either...”
  391. 01[19:32] <Botherer> “Apparently she’s rather clumsy... The Salamence, that is... And doesn’t think herself or her actions very well, either.”
  392. 01[19:33] <Botherer> “She truly does mean well, but just hasn’t the mind to think her actions through much at all. Language barriers are quite difficult to overcome, as well...”
  393. 06[19:35] * Michael purses lips
  394. [19:35] <Michael> "Well...this has been enlightening"
  395. [19:37] <Michael> "So are you coming back now? Do you need any help?"
  396. 01[19:39] <Botherer> <Jessibelle> “I’d hate to impose, but if it isn’t too much a trouble to you, I’d like to at least see that the children are well.”
  397. [19:40] <Michael> "No trouble at all. I'm here to make sure you are safe, that's all"
  398. 03[19:40] * JackgarPrime (JackgarPri@sux-F7CC55AE.hsd1.vt.comcast.net) has joined #Dreamscape
  399. 01[19:44] <Botherer> <Jessibelle> “Very well, then. Would you do us a favor and escort us back like the gentleman you are?”
  400. 06[19:44] * Michael swaggers
  401. [19:45] <Michael> "Of course ladies, right this way"
  402. 06[19:45] * Michael swaggers out of the building, looking like a big zoof
  403. 01[19:45] <Botherer> She extends a hand for you to take as you escort her and the others out of the building. Fast forward to volcano?
  404. [19:46] <Michael> (nod nod)
  405. 01[19:49] <Botherer> You all return to the top of the mountain atop Sally, also having stopped for some raw meat real quick. Atlanta seemed to be a lot more at ease atop the Salamence. It drops down, and you all land right before the ‘horde’ of babies. <Mama! Meema! You’re back!> The Archen runs over to the Salamence with the biggest :D face, wings outstretched, though still holding onto the bone.
  406. [19:50] <Michael> (that bone is weirding me out)
  407. 01[19:51] <Botherer> The Larvitar and Bagon soon accompany... Possibly not by choice, as they’re tossed over to you by a burst of flame coming from the Deino.
  408. 06[19:51] * Michael makes sure they don't fall off the mountain
  409. 01[19:52] <Botherer> They more or less are thrown at the feet of the Salamence.
  410. 06[19:54] * Michael hops off and extends a steadying hand to the ladies
  411. [19:54] <Michael> "As promised"
  412. 06[19:54] * Michael is still zoofin
  413. 01[19:56] <Botherer> Jessibelle lets out a coy chuckle as you help her down. Atlanta’s at least receptive enough to let you help her down, and, though she struggles with it, gives you a quick “Thank... you...” before quickly fleeing to the Deino’s side.
  414. 01[19:56] <Botherer> She fumbles around with the bag, having trouble getting the bag open. Even moreso as she struggles to get the bottle inside open.
  415. 03[19:56] * zoofman (zoofman@sux-7B6F47E6.hsd1.pa.comcast.net) has left #Dreamscape
  416. [19:59] <Michael> "Do you need help?"
  417. 06[20:00] * Michael puts out a hand
  418. 01[20:00] <Botherer> As you approach to help, you see the problem. She’s not even using her fingers at all to try and open it! She’s just trying to muscle it open with her bare palm... And failing.
  419. [20:01] <Michael> *pokerface*
  420. [20:01] <Michael> "Allow me"
  421. 06[20:01] * Michael tries to take the bag to open it
  422. 01[20:03] <Botherer> If you weren’t the heir to a medicinal company, I’d totally toss a “Roll an INT check” at you. But that would just be plain ridiculous. So yeah, you get the thing open easy.
  423. [20:04] <Michael> (like a baws)
  424. 01[20:04] <Botherer> “I’m... I’m sorry... to have troubled you..” She stammers it out before rushing the medicine into the Deino’s mouth. It sneezes once fiery, twice fiery... And then one last inferno of a sneeze that might as well have been the volcano erupting... Thankfully over the edge of the mountain... Before completely stopping.
  425. 01[20:04] <Botherer> (Well, you are the baws.)
  426. [20:05] <Michael> "Wow"
  427. [20:06] <Michael> "That was something"
  428. 01[20:07] <Botherer> “All of you...” She looks down at the ground and her feet. “And... And... Thank you... For helping us... With our children.”
  429. 01[20:07] <Botherer> The Deino’s mane is still fiery.
  430. 01[20:07] <Botherer> Just... Not spewing out any more flames anymore.
  431. 06[20:07] * Michael grins A HUGE GRIN
  432. 01[20:07] <Botherer> From its now nonexistence sneezes.
  433. [20:08] <Michael> "NO TROUBLE AT ALL ATLANTA! RAY AND I ARE HERE TO SERVE"
  434. 06[20:09] * Michael strikes a pose
  435. [20:09] <Michael> "And malto too of course"
  436. 01[20:11] <Botherer> Ray boldfaces. “Be it to fight the forces of evil, or help those in needs...” He jumps in next to Michael. “At the call of our names, a Ray of Hope will shine down for those who seek it! ... And Michael’s an amazing hero, too! You can always count on him!” He pokerfaces afterwards.
  437. [20:12] <Michael> >____________>
  438. 01[20:12] <Botherer> He was tyring to be sincere.
  439. 01[20:12] <Botherer> trying**
  440. 01[20:12] <Botherer> “... Sorry. Couldn’t help it~”
  441. [20:13] <Michael> "Good Job Ray, couldn't have said it better myself"
  442. 06[20:13] * Michael slaps Ray on the back
  443. 01[20:13] <Botherer> Malto rolls off the Salamence, seemingly a few pounds heavier than previous and slathered in ice cream. 5“Malto will... Be helpful... When he goes on a diet.”
  444. 01[20:13] <Botherer> You knock the poor kid straight to the floor. Everyone else laughs at him.
  445. [20:14] <Michael> :<
  446. 01[20:17] <Botherer> He’s okay, and thumbs up’s it. A little wounded in the ego, but otherwise fine.
  447. 01[20:19] <Botherer> He got thrown off the side of a mountain seven times! This is nothing to him.
  448. [20:21] <Michael> "Well, if you ever need anything else, please don't hesitate to ask. Try not to break into a castle next time"
  449. [20:21] <Michael> "Shall we go miss Jessibelle?
  450. 01[20:23] <Botherer> The Salamence sadfaces at the comment :<
  451. 01[20:24] <Botherer> <Jessibelle> “I believe we shall!” She takes Michael’s hand and holds it in her own~ ... After she reclaims her dress.
  452. [20:24] <Michael> A DURRR
  453. 06[20:24] * Michael returns dress
  454. 01[20:25] <Botherer> Oh, I thought it was on the floor.
  455. [20:25] <Michael> (I took it up and stored it)
  456. 01[20:25] <Botherer> Oh. Well, she appreciates you holding onto her dress for her like that~
  457. [20:25] <Michael> (I was gonna try another tracker on it just in case)
  458. 03[20:26] * Rainy is now known as Caitlin
  459. [20:26] <Michael> (wait a tick)
  460. [20:27] <Michael> ...
  461. [20:27] <Michael> "Any chance we could get a ride :V"
  462. 01[20:28] <Botherer> The Salamence looks over to Atlanta expectantly.
  463. 01[20:29] <Botherer> She gives a silent nod, and the Salamence waggles her tail. All aboard?
  464. [20:29] <Michael> ALL ABOARD SALLY
  465. 01[20:30] <Botherer> And you and Jessibelle take off into the golden sunset! A Ho-oh flies past, dropping a rainbow out of the sky for you two!
