  1. [23:46] <Shawyun_Sariri> Sunday! You've just stepped off the train to Veilbeak City and find yourself in the heart of it all! It's not entirely unlike Red Blade City, tall buildings, bustling streets and plenty of sound and tasty smells!
  2. [23:46] <Shawyun_Sariri> The biggest difference is the scent of the ocean and an abundance of Wingulls and Ducklets in addition to the Pidoves.
  3. [23:47] <Shawyun_Sariri> Though despite the distractions, Chase has a certain destination in mind doesn't he?
  4. 06[23:48] * Chase strolls along, taking in the sights. And indeed he does. Uhh, the newspaper stand, probably.
  5. [23:48] <Chase> Unless by some miracle he already deduced the location of her workplace in New Ivyhollow!
  6. [23:49] <Shawyun_Sariri> There's plenty around, people with stalls set up and your choice of magazines, newspapers and such! Though it's not out of the question he could have done his homework on this ahead of time as well.
  7. 06[23:49] * Chase heads over and grabs a paper, paying for it and having a look-see. Let's see what we got here. Also, what time of day is it?
  8. [23:51] <Shawyun_Sariri> It's around 11 AM at the moment. The guy at the paper stand nods as you hand him the money and turns back to the guy he was discussing stuff with, another customer.
  9. 06[23:52] * Chase casually starts browsing the classifieds... let's see, here...
  10. [23:52] <Shawyun_Sariri> Stand Guy: "So what's this you're saying about this Father Ruth guy?"
  11. 06[23:52] * Chase also eavesdrops because why not.
  12. [23:52] <Shawyun_Sariri> You find a section in the classifieds for Breeders easily enough and start scrolling down as you listen.
  13. [23:53] <Shawyun_Sariri> Regular: "Yeah, guy's been tryin' to establish a church, like the real shin dig with a building n' everything down by city hall."
  14. 06[23:54] * Chase tries to recall where he's heard the name before... oh right, the preacher dude that converted the stags to Bondye.
  15. [23:54] <Shawyun_Sariri> Regular: "Been gettin' pretty popular around New Ivyhollow I hear. Keeps havin' little congressions on campus in the mean time."
  16. [23:54] <Shawyun_Sariri> Regular: "Word is he's been preachin' to those Wildlings as well so the Mayor's all ears for this sorta thing. Good publicity."
  17. [23:55] <Shawyun_Sariri> Stand Guy: "Seems decent enough. What's the big deal?"
  18. [23:55] <Shawyun_Sariri> Regular: "They say he's a faith healer or somethin'. Doin' miracles n' shit as he's givin' his sermons."
  19. [23:56] <Shawyun_Sariri> Stand Guy: "Man that could be anything we got tons of Mystics in these parts."
  20. [23:56] <Shawyun_Sariri> Regular: "I dunno man, been meanin' to see it for myself to see what's up about it. Speakin' of which where you hidin' the newdie mags nowadays?"
  21. [23:57] <Shawyun_Sariri> Their conversation drifts away from that topic as you find one entry that looks like a match.
  22. 06[23:58] * Chase just shakes his head as he checks out the ad, not really thinking that much of the convo.
  23. [23:59] <Shawyun_Sariri> "Looking for well bred and raised Fire Types? Look no further! You'll find no finer than at Warm Hearth Adoptions! Open 9-5 on weekdays and 12-3 on weekends, excluding holidays!"
  24. [23:59] <Shawyun_Sariri> There's an address and phone number with it as well.
  25. Session Time: Fri Apr 05 00:00:01 2013
  26. [00:00] <Chase> "Five, huh?" he considers that. Kind of shitty to walk right in her work hours with no business, but he doesn't have all day. Maybe he can catch her lunch hour, at least.
  27. [00:01] <Shawyun_Sariri> It's Sunday you silly!
  28. [00:01] <Chase> Oh, so it is!
  29. [00:01] <Chase> Well then, he can catch her before work! Off he goes...
  30. [00:02] <Chase> He pockets the paper in a belt pouch or hammerspace or something for further reading later.
  31. [00:02] <Shawyun_Sariri> You follow the streets toward the address and find yourself on the outskirts of a large dome that dwarfs many of the buildings arond here.
  32. 06[00:03] * Chase looks up, catching the brim of his new hat so it doesn't fall off. He gives a bit of a low whistle as he looks at the place.
  33. [00:04] <Shawyun_Sariri> Looking around you see quite a few stores specializing in Pokemon accessories, TM's, a Thornberry Incorperated, office buildings for other Explorer Teams...certainly looks like you're heading the right way.
  34. [00:05] <Chase> That dome must be the famed arena. Too bad they don't have actual tickets. But hey, Crabby Krabby is just as good, right?
  35. [00:05] <Shawyun_Sariri> You even pass by the office of The Elemental Regalia, where there's a bit of a crowd out front, and spot The Crabby Krabby, which is a bit of a hole in the wall with a staircase downward.
  36. 06[00:05] * Chase squints
  37. 06[00:05] * Chase squints
  38. [00:05] <Chase> "...eh I'm sure it has class..." he glances over at the office of the Regalia to see what's up with the crowd.
  39. [00:06] <Shawyun_Sariri> There's a man standing out front who looks like a bouncer, sort of.
  40. [00:06] <Shawyun_Sariri> Roll me Perception and Intuition
  41. [00:06] <Chase> 2d6-1; 4d6+2
  42. [00:06] <DiceMaid-9001> Chase, 2d6-1: 3 [2d6=3,1]; 4d6+2: 15 [4d6=6,1,2,4]
  43. [00:07] <Shawyun_Sariri> Something's sorta funny about the bouncer at The Crabby Krabby but you can't really put a finger on it
  44. [00:07] <Chase> It's probably a Conkeldurr in a tux.
  45. [00:07] <Shawyun_Sariri> Over at the crowd you see a blond girl standing by the door, she seems fairly frazzled as she's being swarmed for autographs and pictures.
  46. [00:08] <Shawyun_Sariri> Though you also got a weird feeling you're being followed, or watched by someone.
  47. [00:09] <Chase> "Elemental Regalia..." he pauses a moment, remembering hearing that name. Guess they're one of the more popular teams from the look of it. He decides to let the poor girl be, they'll probably meet later, anyway. He casually strolls along, trying to play it cool as he feels like he's being watched.
  48. [00:09] <Chase> Though after a few moments he glances at a building window as he passes to see if he can catch a reflection.
  49. [00:10] <Shawyun_Sariri> Roll me another Perception
  50. [00:10] <Chase> 2d6+1 two action points
  51. [00:10] <DiceMaid-9001> Chase, two action points: 4 [2d6=2,1]
  52. [00:10] <Chase> Dicemaid ain't liking perception today.
  53. [00:11] <Shawyun_Sariri> You see two women in black business blouses that were glancing your way but after a moment you lose sight of them in the pedestrians on the street.
  54. 06[00:12] * Chase shrugs it off and keeps going.
  55. [00:12] <Shawyun_Sariri> Either way, as you continue on you find the building. It's a small, humble brick one stuck between two large department stores. A picture of a Charmander hugging a red egg on the window and its name sake, Warm Hearth Adoptions.
  56. [00:13] <Chase> "Now that, is just goddamn heartwarming." he remarks, looking at the picture.
  57. 06[00:14] * Chase checks the time, then gently knocks on the door if it isn't quite 12 yet.
  58. [00:15] <Shawyun_Sariri> Inside the window you can see a familiar young woman with red hair chasing around an awnry Cyndaquil, she eventually catches it and tickles its belly. There's quite a few young fire types roaming around freely.
  59. 06[00:15] * Chase smiles a bit as he watches the scene.
  60. [00:15] <Shawyun_Sariri> It's about 11:30 by now, so she seems a bit startled and heads to the door.
  61. [00:16] <Shawyun_Sariri> You hear it unbolt and she opens it. "Hello! I'm not quite ready to ope- oh."
  62. 03[00:16] * Shawyun_Sariri is now known as Scarlet
  63. [00:17] <Scarlet> "Hello Chase," she says a bit sourly as her expression grows a bit cross.
  64. 06[00:17] * Chase chuckles a bit awkwardly and scratches the back of his head. "Uh, yeah... sorry. I didn't want to bug you during your work hours, but I figured this would be the best place to catch you."
  65. [00:18] <Chase> "...sheez. That look right there is killing me. Not that I don't deserve it, mind you."
  66. [00:18] <Scarlet> She steps aside, "Come on in, I guess."
  67. [00:20] <Scarlet> "Want anything to drink?"
  68. [00:21] <Chase> "Thanks..." he steps on in. "Nice place you have here... um, no thank you, I really shouldn't. Listen, I wanted to apologize about the other night. That was really, really shitty of me." He seems almost a bit cowed from his usual attitude. "I really just want to blame the liquor, but I'm not going to."
  69. [00:21] <Scarlet> Inside you can see it has a bit of a living room feel to it.
  70. [00:22] <Chase> He looks around, liking how nice and homey it is.
  71. [00:22] <Scarlet> a fireplace that's lit with fresh logs, wood crackling softly and a pleasent scent. Armchairs and sofas. A few pamphlets on a coffee table.
  72. 06[00:22] * Chase takes his hat off inside, it's only polite.
  73. [00:24] <Scarlet> She takes a seat in one of the armchairs and is immediately swarmed by a Growlith and the Cyndaquil, both competing to sit in her lap. She bops them both on the head lightly and they snuggle up obiedently and share.
  74. [00:25] <Scarlet> "So what was it, then?"
  75. [00:29] <Chase> He has a seat in another of the chairs. "..Just me being a dickhead, I guess." he sighs. "Not on purpose, exactly... I'm... look, I'm -not- that kind of person, though. I mean, I got my reasons for being afraid of commitment, but I don't want to make excuses, that's not why I'm here. I'm not looking for a second chance to hit it off with you, because I realize I blew it pretty
  76. [00:29] <Chase> badly. This isn't about me at all. I'm sorry, Scarlet, and I'd still like to make it up to you, somehow."
  77. [00:32] <Scarlet> I was going to try to make a joke about rolling a Charm check but couldn't come up with a clever one, but roll it anyway!
  78. [00:32] <Chase> 5d6+4 let's spend two action points and whoops, Chase forgot to put back on his hat.
  79. [00:32] <DiceMaid-9001> Chase, let's spend two action points and whoops, Chase forgot to put back on his hat.: 18 [5d6=1,4,1,3,5]
  80. [00:33] <Scarlet> She's quiet for a bit as she picks up a cup of coffee on the table and sips at it.
  81. [00:34] <Scarlet> "It isn't the first time a guy's completely blown me off because I wanted more than just a fling, you know."
  82. [00:35] <Chase> "That doesn't mean it was right of me."
  83. [00:35] <Scarlet> "It is the first time one's come to apologize for it though. So...that does count for something I guess. I honestly didn't think you would."
  84. [00:36] <Scarlet> "You did seem quite taken with miss ditzy, though." sip.
  85. 06[00:36] * Chase can't help but shake his head. "There wasn't anything about that that was right. You want to know the hilarious part?"
  86. [00:37] <Scarlet> "Hm?"
  87. [00:41] <Chase> "She wasn't even there for romance. She didn't even realize... It turned out she was a gym trainer from venomtalon on the run from her crazy mother, who wanted her to be watched at all times by a chaperone or something. A Heracross slammed into the place like ten minutes after you left and abducted her right on the spot. You can probably check the news or something about the
  88. [00:41] <Chase> property damage, it was crazy." He can't help but laugh for a moment. "So all of that making of an ass of myself wasn't even for anything. Goddamn I'm pathetic." He sighs again after a moment. "Even if she had spent the night with me, though, I would have come to my senses after a bit and sought you out anyway. I feel seriously bad for all that."
  89. [00:42] <Scarlet> She chuckles a little. "Venomtalon? Her?"
  90. [00:43] <Scarlet> "How odd. Those people are the closest you can get to Amish in these parts."
  91. [00:44] <Scarlet> She adjusts her glasses as she peers past you out the window. "Though I suspect it explains those two."
  92. [00:44] <Chase> "Yeah, seems that way. The way she was dressed, I'd guess she's the rebellious type-hm?"
  93. 06[00:44] * Chase glances.
  94. [00:45] <Scarlet> You see the two women in business suits at a diner across the street. One's got a pair of binoculars, staring through the window. Green hair.
  95. [00:45] <Scarlet> The other, blue hair, tackles her across the table and out of sight.
  96. [00:46] <Scarlet> "You sure you don't have your own fan club or something?" Scarlet raises an eyebrow at this.
  97. [00:46] <Chase> "So they -were- following me." he frowns. "Who the hell- what kind of conspiracy shit have I got wrapped up into now? Her mom's not that cray is she?"
  98. [00:47] <Chase> "This doesn't feel right... Whatever reason they're following me I'm not going to get you involved in this."
  99. [00:48] <Chase> He starts to get up.
  100. [00:48] <Scarlet> "Mothers are oddly protective of their young, isn't that right?" she scratches both the Pokemon in her lap under the chin.
  101. [00:48] <Chase> "Guess they are, but damn."
  102. [00:49] <Scarlet> "I forgive you, but I am curious - why exactly are you afraid?"
  103. 06[00:56] * Chase bites his lip. "Several years ago, my sister- one of the Sundown Corsairs- went missing during some kind of shady job, presumed dead. I couldn't really handle it, me and Alicia were real close. I kind of lost it for a bit... my grades tanked, I almost flunked out of uni... And I hurt someone close to me back then real bad. She didn't deserve it, and I didn't get a chance
  104. 06[00:56] * Chase to apologize, either. It's real easy to hurt the ones you love... and... well, I know I should try and move past that. It's been years. But I'm still afraid of hurting someone else like that after seeing just how I can be, deep down. So I've kept my heart on my sleeve. Have a nice evening with someone, maybe breakfast the next morning, and then... that's it." he sighs. "Deep down,
  105. 06[00:56] * Chase under the charm and the confidence I guess I'm just still an insecure kid who isn't sure what to do with himself. But the last few months... putting myself on an explorer team... maybe it -is- time to turn myself around."
  106. [00:56] <Chase> "Thanks, Scarlet. I appreciate the second chance. I'm not gonna squander it."
  107. [00:58] <Chase> "In the end, I was worried I'd end up breaking the heart as someone as nice as you... and then I stomped all over it, anyway. Figures, huh?"
  108. [01:00] <Scarlet> "I'm sorry, that must have been hard, huh."
  109. [01:00] <Chase> "It was, but... it's still not justified to use it as an excuse."
  110. [01:01] <Chase> "I'm still going to find a way to make this up to you, so expect to see me around again, sometime. I'd probably go ahead and go... it's almost opening time, right?"
  111. [01:01] <Chase> *probably better go ahead
  112. [01:01] <Scarlet> He puts the coffee down and sighs, shooing the two off her lap as she reaches for a business card on the business table, stands and offers it to you.
  113. [01:02] <Chase> He takes it, after a moment.
  114. [01:03] <Scarlet> "I can't really be sure, but you seem honest and sincere enough to truely mean it. If you do change your mind, let me know. I'll think on it some."
  115. 06[01:04] * Chase smiles a bit. "You deserve better, really... but, thanks..."
  116. [01:04] <Scarlet> "Good luck...whatever those two weirdos want, I guess."
  117. [01:05] <Chase> "Yeah, I better get out of here before they decide to drag you into this mess too."
  118. [01:05] <Scarlet> You can see them at the diner still, trying to play it cool.
  119. 06[01:05] * Chase pockets the business card, and starts to leave. "See you around, Scarlet..."
  120. [01:06] <Scarlet> It's around this time a tall, muscular bearded guy opens the door. He's got a huge ass torkoal with him. Looks over the scene and the atmosphere carefully and just sorta freezes awkwardly.
  121. 06[01:06] * Chase stops right there, a bit surprised by the sudden appearance.
  122. [01:06] <Chase> "Uhh, sorry. 'scuse me."
  123. [01:07] <Scarlet> "Uh. Time bad? Excuse me." He's a foreigner it seems.
  124. [01:07] <Scarlet> The torkoal can't quite fit through the door, it's sort of awkward as he shuffles back out with it to let you through.
  125. [01:07] <Scarlet> Scarlet just giggles and shakes her head.
  126. [01:07] <Chase> "Naaaah, go ahead." he laughs.
  127. 06[01:08] * Chase edges past a bit awkardly and waves the guy off friendly enough. He wonders if this is one of Ymir's friends. Surely all foreignors are kushvan and know each other.
  128. [01:08] <Scarlet> You notice he's got a large guitar case on his back and is dressed like a rocker type. He seems sorta awkward about the whole thing. "Sorry. Big turtle." He laughs awkwardly.
  129. [01:09] <Scarlet> "Later, Chase," Scarlet says as she greets the guy. Seems he's a customer to you.
  130. 06[01:09] * Chase notes this as he goes to leave. Honestly, he'd try and introduce himself but holding up scarlet's business is bad. He just watches the scene a moment, and begins to leave.
  131. [01:10] <Chase> "Later..."
  132. [01:10] <Chase> After this though, he crosses the street nonchalantly, directly approaching the goof spies' table.
  133. [01:11] <Scarlet> The green haired one starts pointing and the blue haired one, who you can see is wearing glasses, just facepalms.
  134. [01:11] <Scarlet> They don't really make an effort to get away.
  135. 06[01:12] * Chase walks right up, and puts a hand on a chair. "This seat taken?" he says, sitting, before they really have a response. "Alright, I know you two have been following me. What's the deal. You private investigators or something?"
  136. 06[01:14] * Chase has slipped his hat back on in the meantime. Bitchin'
  137. [01:14] <Scarlet> Roll Focus and Intutition!
  138. [01:15] <Chase> 3d6+2;4d6+2
  139. [01:15] <DiceMaid-9001> Chase, 3d6+2: 13 [3d6=4,6,1]; 4d6+2: 15 [4d6=1,4,3,5]
  140. [01:17] <Scarlet> Something reaaaalllly weird happens when you get this close.
  141. [01:17] <Scarlet> The world around you seems to blur a bit, and their apperances change suddenly
  142. [01:17] <Scarlet> Red skinned and horns.
  143. [01:17] <Scarlet> Green: "It's him, right, right?" British accents
  144. [01:17] <Chase> "Oh, hey. You're 1NO's ladies."
  145. [01:17] <Scarlet> Blue: "Of course it's him, doofus."
  146. [01:17] <Chase> "...I think."
  147. [01:18] <Scarlet> Green: "Oh oh it is he knows The Boss!"
  148. [01:18] <Scarlet> Blue just sighs and sips her drink.
  149. [01:19] <Scarlet> Blue: "I apologize, Mr. Violet. Kali has little sense of discression or timing."
  150. [01:19] <Scarlet> Kali: "And Seir is just a mean old git."
  151. [01:19] <Chase> "Nah, it's not a problem. What can I do for you two?"
  152. [01:21] <Scarlet> Seir reaches down and pulls up a leather portfolio, slowly opening it.
  153. [01:22] <Scarlet> "The matter concerning your sister. We were tasked by The One and Only to investigate it on you behalf, as the contract agreed."
  154. [01:22] <Chase> "Oh, this is about Alicia?" he's suddenly very interested.
  155. [01:23] <Scarlet> "Apologizes on it taking so long to get back to you. We have had a bit of a struggle finding the right resources and making the right connections."
  156. [01:23] <Scarlet> Kali: "Insurance companies are -butt-!"
  157. [01:24] <Chase> "It's not a problem, I didn't expect to hear anything this -fast-, actually..."
  158. [01:24] <Chase> "On the other hand it's been hell trying to find out any information on what he tasked me with..." he grits his teeth and scratches his head.
  159. [01:25] <Scarlet> Seir: "The One and Only expected as such, it is a delicate matter with many risks."
  160. [01:26] <Scarlet> Kali: "Yeah there's a lot of people trying to kill you! Well, not YOU, but you know!"
  161. [01:26] <Scarlet> Seir bops Kali on the head. "Anyway..."
  162. [01:28] <Chase> "Yeah, I figured... I've got maybe one small thing to go on at the moment, but it isn't much... basically not too long ago I got apparently got to see the Flayed One in person, and his aura was just... a big, blue lightshow. I figure One N'Only's sis might have something like that, but it's been slow going, and my powers have been acting funny at times. Just flat out passed out
  163. [01:28] <Chase> when I tried to check the aura of a pikachu... might have been the alcohol, but..." he shakes his head. "Anyway, whaddya got?"
  164. [01:28] <Scarlet> Seir: "While we've discovered little about the actual assignment that led to the disapeerance of The Sundown Corsairs, as the matters of The Conscripted Companies are word of mouth, and we are not in the sailing business-"
  165. [01:29] <Scarlet> Kali: "Yet, at least!"
  166. [01:29] <Chase> He leans in.
  167. [01:30:04] <Scarlet> Seir: "...We have been able to secure some of the insurance information from their backers and testimony from those who reacted to the scene, and...medical records."
  168. [01:30:14] <Chase> "Medical records?"
  169. [01:30:23] <Chase> "Go on..."
  170. [08:32:48] <~zoofman> [01:30:31] <Scarlet> Seir: "They don't match. The insurance paperwork," she plops a large stack of documents in front of you.
  171. [01:30:42] »» Chase begins to leaf through.
  172. [01:30:58] <Scarlet> It's entitlements, mostly.
  173. [01:31:27] <Scarlet> To the family's of the deceased, the payments on their vessel to the shipwrights and Conscripted Companies, their employers...
  174. [01:31:35] <Scarlet> Not entirely things you haven't seen before.
  175. [01:31:49] <Chase> "So what's the inconsistency?"
  176. [01:32] <Scarlet> Seir: "These documents state there were no survivors."
  177. 06[01:32] * Chase raises an eyebrow.
  178. [01:32] <Chase> "Wait... are you telling me..."
  179. [01:32] <Scarlet> Seir: "This is not at all consistant with reports from emergancy respondants, though. They state there were two that they found."
  180. 06[01:33] * Chase sits upright. "Who? WHO? Do you know??"
  181. [01:34] <Scarlet> Kali starts shuffling around hastily in the paperwork.
  182. [01:34] <Scarlet> Seir: "This is where it gets confusing."
  183. [01:35] <Scarlet> Seir: "The individuals, by description, were not in the paperwork for the claims."
  184. [01:36] <Scarlet> Seir: "We discovered the reason for this was they were orphans. So the paperwork is not incorrect in that all -listed- there had claims."
  185. [01:36] <Chase> "...Orphans?"
  186. [01:36] <Scarlet> Kali: "Yeah those ones...the respondants found them washed ashore" :<
  187. [01:37] <Scarlet> Seir: "Please, read closely, Mr. Violet." She taps the paper
  188. [01:37] <Chase> He leans back in his chair a bit, deflating somewhat.
  189. [01:37] <Scarlet> Focus for me
  190. [01:37] <Chase> 3d6+2
  191. [01:37] <DiceMaid-9001> Chase, 3d6+2: 9 [3d6=2,2,3]
  192. 06[01:37] * Chase looks at the paper.
  193. [01:37] <Scarlet> It takes you a bit to read through carefully.
  194. [01:37] <Scarlet> Alicia isn't in here either.
  195. [01:38] <Scarlet> Seir: "The head count wasn't consistant. So after we gained a bit more...authority..."
  196. [01:38] <Scarlet> Kali: "We had cots in the office and everything!"
  197. [01:38] <Scarlet> Seir: "We gained access to this one," she hands you a second document.
  198. [01:39] <Chase> Whoa lewd.
  199. 06[01:39] * Chase takes the second document.
  200. 06[01:39] * Scarlet baps Chase.
  201. [01:39] <Scarlet> It seems to be a memo passed between the Conscripted and the Insurance Company
  202. [01:40] <Scarlet> The Insurance Company was trying to weasel out of paying entitlements to the families of those there was no evidence of being deceased. This got them some pretty nasty flak and threats from people armed to the tooth by word of mouth and old heritage, and they caved.
  203. [01:41] <Scarlet> They considered all not-found survivors deceased for the sake of claims but did not list them in the claims.
  204. [01:42] <Scarlet> Kali: "The problem is we couldn't find names for these two...they went by nicknames, even with The Doctor!"
  205. [01:42] <Scarlet> She passes you two pictures from medical reports.
  206. 06[01:42] * Chase reaches over slowly
  207. [01:44] <Scarlet> Both blondes. One nicknamed "Sunshine" and the other "Sissy." They seem fairly roughed up in the pictures, but intuition for me.
  208. [01:44] <Chase> 4d6+2
  209. [01:44] <DiceMaid-9001> Chase, 4d6+2: 20 [4d6=4,3,6,5]
  210. [01:45] <Scarlet> Seir: "It seems they found them half starved on a sandbed. They had no recollection of what happened, just there were a number of them on an escape boat and it was a rough storm. They fell overboard."
  211. [01:46] <Scarlet> Something is really familiar about these two. You swear you recognize them.
  212. [01:46] <Chase> "I didn't really know Alicia's crew... but I feel like I know these two from somewhere."
  213. [01:46] <Scarlet> Kali: "Yaaay we're useful!"
  214. [01:47] <Scarlet> She tries to high five Seir, and Seir just shakes her head.
  215. [01:47] <Scarlet> Seir: "Unfortionately all we can conclude from this is it's likely your sister was on this escape vessel."
  216. [01:48] <Chase> "I'm still trying to wrap my head around this... Alicia could be alive out there somewhere..."
  217. [01:48] <Scarlet> Seir: "The next phase of our operation is to infiltrate the ranks of a privateering company."
  218. [01:48] <Scarlet> Kali: "Our try outs are Thursday!"
  219. 06[01:48] * Chase looks up, returning the material, after taking a picture of Sunshine and Sissy.
  220. [01:49] <Chase> "Thanks, you two... this... you don't know how this makes me feel. This is something, after years and years of absolutely jack shit."
  221. [01:49] <Chase> "I..."
  222. [01:50] <Chase> "I don't want to get my hopes up too much -yet-. It's been five years... But you're doing great."
  223. [01:51] <Chase> "This is complicated as all hell, too..."
  224. [01:51] <Scarlet> Kali seems likes its the happiest day of her life to be complemented, Seir simply nods professionally. "The One and Only is good to his word. Though I presume you may make more progress on this now than we will."
  225. [01:52] <Scarlet> "A word of warning, however."
  226. [01:52] <Chase> "It's definitely a start. Thank you, Kali. Seir. ...hm?"
  227. [01:53] <Scarlet> "The One and Only suggests your fixations on these Sons of Grant might be too nearsighted. Though I'm not sure what he means by that."
  228. [01:53] <Chase> "Nah, don't worry. We've already started to get wind that this is prolly bigger than all them...."
  229. [01:54] <Chase> "Right now, I have to go along with my team, but we're making progress bit by bit."
  230. [01:54] <Chase> "Give ol' 1NO my thanks too, would you? I'm going to keep looking the best I can."
  231. [01:55] <Scarlet> Kali: "Okay! Careful with the flayed one though, he's cranky!"
  232. [01:55] <Chase> "...yeah, no kidding. I caught him in a good mood, I guess."
  233. [01:55] <Scarlet> Seir nods, collecting the excess paperwork as things start to fade to normal again.
  234. [01:56] <Scarlet> They seem like normal women again to you.
  235. [01:56] <Scarlet> Seir: "Waitor? Check please."
  236. [01:57] <Scarlet> Seir: "In the future we'll try to be more...discrete."
  237. [01:57] <Chase> "Heh. Good luck with that. Nice meeting you, ladies..." he starts to get up, excusing himself.
  238. [01:57] <Scarlet> Kali: "I'm following you guys online! Was your first fan!" :D
  239. [01:57] <Scarlet> 4:D
  240. 06[01:57] * Chase laughs. "Well, thanks. I appreciate it!"
  241. [01:58] <Scarlet> Okay she's sorta creepy. The wave you off as you make your exit~
  242. 05[01:58] * Chase starts to head off, thinking about the 1NO's message a bit. Something IS bothering him a bit... those Sirens, maybe? And how that Ruth guy's congregation seemed totally cool with them despite what Saryx claimed?
  243. [01:59] <Scarlet> Seir: "Kali, you know you can't flirt with others in our affiliation. It's againse the rrrrules," you hear as you you walk off.
  244. 06[01:59] * Chase chuckles.
  245. 06[01:59] * Chase walks off, shaking off his worries for now, and checking the business card again so he can put the number into his phone.
