  1. Oct 23 20:06:36 <@zoofman> After a nights rest, you're awaken by a loud commotion in the city streets. Granted, what it turns out to be isn't much a surprise. You did, after all, set the wheels in motion for a huge breakfast celebration.
  2. Oct 23 20:07:54 <@zoofman> Honestly you're not quite sure how they got it prepped so fast - tents and festival tables and grills and coolers are all over the place. What was Alice's stage has become a festival ground of sorts, with buffets worth of food and servers.
  3. Oct 23 20:08:22 <Genevieve> "Man, we are so magic."
  4. Oct 23 20:09:17 <@zoofman> Bacon, sausage, fruits, fresh baked donuts, bagels, waffles, Kalosian toast, and pancakes. Salad bars, cerial bars - cerial bars AT the cerial bar, eggs, yogurts, omlette stations...christ you name it they got it.
  5. Oct 23 20:09:51 »» Rosetta hopes in place and turns on her funnelcakedar.
  6. Oct 23 20:09:56 <Rosetta> *hops
  7. Oct 23 20:10:00 <Rosetta> hopes too though
  8. Oct 23 20:10:21 <Chase_Violet> "Damn son. Maybe we should expand the VIP guestlist some." he remarks, looking out.
  9. Oct 23 20:11:49 <Chase_Violet> "Wonder if Shango's coming or not..."
  10. Oct 23 20:12:03 <Genevieve> "I don't know, he hates fun, he probably hates breakfast."
  11. Oct 23 20:12:07 <@zoofman> VIP guestlist? This was open invitation! Or at least the people who were awake to organize it thought so. It's honestly rediculously crowded. The sheer mass of the amount of food and number of buffet lines are the only thing controlling it.
  12. Oct 23 20:13:10 <@zoofman> Rosetta, they have a tray of funnelcakes. Maybe just for you.
  13. Oct 23 20:13:33 <@zoofman> Roll me Perception!
  14. Oct 23 20:13:40 »» Chase_Violet heads out to chow down himself. Time for a hearty breakfast. Maybe the last one they get.
  15. Oct 23 20:13:41 »» Rosetta grabs an empty plate and then Tricks the tray over.
  16. Oct 23 20:13:46 <Rosetta> Summon senpai first.
  17. Oct 23 20:16:05 ---» CritSenpai (~CritSenpa@Rizon-F2F5F76E.hsd1.nj.comcast.net) has Joined #easternislesrhapsody
  18. Oct 23 20:16:20 <Chase_Violet> 4d6-2
  19. Oct 23 20:16:20 <CritSenpai> 4d6-2: 11 [4d6=6,4,1,2]
  20. Oct 23 20:16:49 <Rosetta> 5d6+1
  21. Oct 23 20:16:49 <CritSenpai> 5d6+1: 21 [5d6=5,3,1,5,6]
  22. Oct 23 20:18:07 <Genevieve> 2d6+5 fuck perception
  23. Oct 23 20:18:07 <CritSenpai> fuck perception: 14 [2d6=6,3]
  24. Oct 23 20:18:58 <@zoofman> Well, you don't see a big red fire bird, no. But Rosetta and Gen do notice some people who look like Special Ops Rangers bringing some plates on a rolling serving platform toward the palace. Or what's left of the palace, at least.
  25. Oct 23 20:19:41 <@zoofman> Rosetta also spots Mr. Jenks eating yogurt and strawberries near the stage. Where some Rangers appear to be prepping the speakers for something.
  26. Oct 23 20:20:25 <Rosetta> "Guess Shango is too good for our party." Rosetta nods her head in the direction of the rangers rolling to the palace.
  27. Oct 23 20:20:32 <Genevieve> "Maybe they're taking pancakes to Shango and Genesis."
  28. Oct 23 20:20:50 <Chase_Violet> "Maybe less that and more out of cautious." he says to Rose.
  29. Oct 23 20:20:51 <Rosetta> "And there's some sorta announcement soon." Rosetta points near Jenks and the stage.
  30. Oct 23 20:20:59 <Rosetta> "Guess that's the big news..."
  31. Oct 23 20:21:08 <Chase_Violet> "Yeah..."
  32. Oct 23 20:22:01 <Chase_Violet> He loads up on a loaded omelette with kalosian toast and a donut for dessert. May as well eat big.
  33. Oct 23 20:22:31 »» Rosetta lifts a few funnel cakes off the tray, then Tricks it back for her plate and sets them down on it.
  34. Oct 23 20:22:58 »» Genevieve gets some pancakes and cottage cheese. "Do we want to hang around for the news?"
  35. Oct 23 20:24:04 <Rosetta> "We probably should."
  36. Oct 23 20:25:13 <Chase_Violet> He nods. "Yeah, don't see why we wouldn't."
  37. Oct 23 20:25:15 <@zoofman> You see a few of your buddies around as well, but most just seem to be wanting to get some free food and maybe go back to bed. Anna even left a text message with several wrapped up plates of chocolates and the text 'Mission accomplished! Now zzz'
  38. Oct 23 20:25:45 »» Chase_Violet is sure to text Anna with thanks later.
  39. Oct 23 20:28:20 <Genevieve> "And we've got chocolates for Everhungry, nice."
  40. Oct 23 20:28:41 <Rosetta> "Shiny."
  41. Oct 23 20:28:48 <@zoofman> As for the crowd itself, it's a pretty good split between those thinking there's more to this, and others just thinking this is a jolly celebration. It's not until a familiar man in a suit (they dressed him up in a more modern one, at least), well groomed hair, and a killer smile walks out from behind the stage and up to the podium that most settle down.
  42. Oct 23 20:34:40 <@zoofman> "Good morning, people of Visiwa. My name is Hildibrand Manderville; some of you might know of me by the handle 'Looker.' I am a private investigator who assisted in the fight against Teams Galactic and Plasma a few years ago. And while I do congratulate you on your victory yesterday...well, I come to you with more bad news."
  43. Oct 23 20:35:32 <@zoofman> The mood of the breakfast changes very swiftly as he says this - and a large television is raised and turned on to reveal a powerpoint presentation as well. Come to think of it you think that's Super Kyurem Guru's television.
  44. Oct 23 20:41:32 <@zoofman> Well, I'll cut this short since you obviously know the content of what he's going to discuss. He starts with how he was starting to get tip offs about Grant back at the fall of Galactic in Sinnoh, and how the man's influence slowly spread amongst the international Rune Master community. He skirts around the talk about being from another world, but does make it clear Grant has managed to bridge a gate between this rea
  45. Oct 23 20:41:32 <@zoofman> lm and another one. He discusses the man's actions in Visiwa thus far, and how the Explorers thwarted them.
  46. Oct 23 20:43:04 <@zoofman> He tops that off by declaring that insider information from someone who defected from his ranks suggests that he will strike soon. "I'm sorry to be the bearer of this news, Visiwa, but your battle is not over. Grant desires to make this Region a Ground Zero for his reign, and will act soon."
  47. Oct 23 20:44:27 <Rosetta> "Ooh, that last sentence sounds a bit dramatic, doesn't it? Could've put it more gently, I think." Rosetta whispers to the others.
  48. Oct 23 20:45:20 <Genevieve> "We should probably be real about this."
  49. Oct 23 20:45:32 <@zoofman> Well, the crowd seems to agree. That conclusion to a hell of a presentation has left it dead silent. You can hear a Kricketunes in the distance.
  50. Oct 23 20:45:52 <@zoofman> Which is honestly sort of cheating cause some of them are helping to clean up dishes.
  51. Oct 23 20:45:53 »» Genevieve cups her hands to her mouth and shouts. "Grant sucks!"
  52. Oct 23 20:46:22 <Chase_Violet> He snorts a little but isn't really sure that's gonna help.
  53. Oct 23 20:49:22 <@zoofman> Well, it provokes a few other cat calls, including a 'Get 'er Donnne!' for good measure. It gets a few people laughing uneasily.
  54. Oct 23 20:51:10 <Chase_Violet> He wonders if maybe he should try settling the crowd a bit himself by going on stage...
  55. Oct 23 20:53:58 »» Chase_Violet then starts pushing his way towards the front a bit and steps on stage himself. "Hildebrand, you mind if I say a few things?"
  56. Oct 23 20:54:44 <@zoofman> Hildibrand seems to acknowledge that he said a bit much there, coughing and collecting his papers. He looks relieved when you approach, "You are most welcome to do so, friend. Visiwans, you might recognize this man as well - Chase Violet, of the Zodiac Braves."
  57. Oct 23 20:54:57 <@zoofman> He turns the podium over to you as he walks down the steps and off stage.
  58. Oct 23 20:55:29 <Genevieve> "Woo, Zodiac Braves rule!"
  59. Oct 23 20:55:33 <@zoofman> The crowd is clearly uneasy - it doesn't take much more than a glance to tell that, Chase.
  60. Oct 23 20:55:38 <@zoofman> "GET ER' DONNEE!"
  61. Oct 23 20:56:02 <@zoofman> There's another small wave of laughter.
  62. Oct 23 21:11:26 »» Chase_Violet nods to the man and steps up to the podium, looking out at the crowd. "Man, y'all look down. Kinda like someone peed in your lattes or something. But lemme tell y'all something. As Mr. Manderville, or 'Looker' put it, yeah, our battle's not over yet. But look around, y'all. Look at this place." he sweeps his hand around the festivity area, and at Red Blade as a whole.
  63. Oct 23 21:11:26 »» Chase_Violet "Last night, we got jumped by one of the meanest son of a guns this side of space, and the remainder of his minions, including fey abominations, genetically modified child soldiers, and one mean usurper who was literally powered by evil spirits of the past. And we prevailed. This right here is our victory feast. Not just for last night's efforts, either, but for whenever Grant
  64. Oct 23 21:11:26 »» Chase_Violet decides to show his ugly head too, because like hell if we're gonna let him stop our party now. We'll send him packing just the same because like hell if we're gonna let some crazy cultist beat us down. The people of Visiwa are stronger than that. We've bounced back from worse to be sure. And I'm tellin' ya, right here right now the Explorers, the Rangers, the Conscripted, are
  65. Oct 23 21:11:26 »» Chase_Violet not gonna give another goddamn inch to this guy. And those of you that ain't fightin', we feel at ease cuz y'all got us in your prayers. If he wants to bring it, he's gonna have to get through us and I don't feel like dyin' today. So keep on eating and celebrating, because we're gonna kick this guy's ass all the way out of our beautiful country! And that is the goddamned Truth!"
  66. Oct 23 21:12:03 <Genevieve> "Fuck yeah, Truth!"
  67. Oct 23 21:12:49 <Chase_Violet> 6d6+6+2 Let's roll a Charm check and add two AP
  68. Oct 23 21:12:49 <CritSenpai> Let's roll a Charm check and add two AP: 28 [6d6=4,6,2,5,2,1]
  69. Oct 23 21:12:52 <@zoofman> "GET ER' DONE!" Seriously who is that guy?
  70. Oct 23 21:13:01 <Chase_Violet> It's Jimbo Rustle, duh
  71. Oct 23 21:13:28 »» Rosetta just munches on funnelcakes, not really the type to call out cheers in a crowd.
  72. Oct 23 21:18:49 <@zoofman> The reaction isn't a sudden one; after a moment of silence, someone in the crowd stands and starts to clap. "Damn well said," she yells - a familiar voice and face now that you look at her. "Now I dunno about takin' on any battle ships head on, but if those lil' Grantlings think they goin' just maraude our isles they got another thing comin', now don't they?" Briana looks across the crowd herself.
  73. Oct 23 21:19:19 <Genevieve> "Grant's a loser!"
  74. Oct 23 21:21:30 <@zoofman> "Bet that goes for most ya'll - navel combat - " She's interrupted by a "GET ER' DONE", but before the guy doing it even gets past the 'd', Briana's already nailed him with a plastic fork "Shut yo damn mouth, fool! Look I bet most us don't got the best sea legs, but on our home turf? Shoot, we got this, ya'll."
  75. Oct 23 21:22:25 »» Genevieve lowers her voice to talk to Rose normally. "We should have Everhungry lift his boat instead and drop it on land."
  76. Oct 23 21:23:26 <Rosetta> "If we can do that, sure. He's got a Kyogre, so he might just get it swept back out to sea, yeah?"
  77. Oct 23 21:23:56 <Genevieve> "Yeah, he's kind of proving to be a problem."
  78. Oct 23 21:24:15 <@zoofman> After that, people start to stand, murmur, clap, chant...things start to get pretty roudy as the crowd works itself up!
  79. Oct 23 21:26:11 <Rosetta> "Maybe we can send some sorta hit squad to take it out, then show our trump card with the Everhungry?" Rosetta shugs.
  80. Oct 23 21:26:43 <Chase_Violet> "Let's get a "HELL YEAH" for Visiwa!" are his final words as he gets ready to leave the stage.
  81. Oct 23 21:27:11 <Genevieve> "Underwater hit squad. We might be able to roll with that."
  82. Oct 23 21:27:21 <Genevieve> "Pi's still here right?"
  83. Oct 23 21:29:41 <@zoofman> Chase gets his deafening "HELL YEAH" and a crowd of fists in the air! Honestly the Rangers around here seem a little confused how to react at the moment so things remain chaotic for a little while as you return to your seat. In time, they get people out here to help organize the effort better. But you guys aren't exactly tied to that.
  84. Oct 23 21:29:50 »» Chase_Violet heads off the stage, satisfied, and goes to rejoin the others, grinning and giving a nod of thanks towards Brianna.
  85. Oct 23 21:30:13 <Rosetta> "I think she is? It's a bit risky, but I could see this working."
  86. Oct 23 21:30:26 <Rosetta> "Our fancy sword will help."
  87. Oct 23 21:31:29 <Chase_Violet> "Sup, guys."
  88. Oct 23 21:32:02 <Rosetta> "Heya. Nice speech."
  89. Oct 23 21:33:10 <Genevieve> "Yeah, good job. We're thinking of taking out Leviathan before Grant has a chance to play wave motion."
  90. Oct 23 21:33:22 <Chase_Violet> "Thanks. Was worried a second there, but... oh, strategizing already?"
  91. Oct 23 21:33:31 <Chase_Violet> "What's the plan, then?"
  92. Oct 23 21:34:04 <Genevieve> "Let's go talk to Pi."
  93. Oct 23 21:35:50 <Chase_Violet> "Pi? Against... Leviathan? Uh, well, okay. "
  94. Oct 23 21:36:12 <@zoofman> Roll me Occult Education, guys
  95. Oct 23 21:36:26 <Chase_Violet> 2d6-2 lol
  96. Oct 23 21:36:26 <CritSenpai> lol: 4 [2d6=5,1]
  97. Oct 23 21:36:31 <Rosetta> 4d6+1
  98. Oct 23 21:36:31 <CritSenpai> 4d6+1: 10 [4d6=1,1,3,4]
  99. Oct 23 21:37:01 <Genevieve> 7d6+5 Plus 2 if Divinities
  100. Oct 23 21:37:01 <CritSenpai> Plus 2 if Divinities: 36 [7d6=6,6,5,5,1,6,2]
  101. Oct 23 21:37:09 <@zoofman> Holy sheet
  102. Oct 23 21:37:56 <@zoofman> Well, Genevieve, one thing you've noticed for sure about Aria is she seems to have some latent knowledge about her primal half. If you want insight about Leviathan, she's a great place to start.
  103. Oct 23 21:38:20 <Genevieve> "We should talk to Aria, too." She finishes her breakfast and starts for the ship.
  104. Oct 23 21:38:32 <Rosetta> "Huh? Alright, I can bring her out."
  105. Oct 23 21:38:46 <Chase_Violet> "Yeah, let's get back to the ship for now I guess."
  106. Oct 23 21:39:10 <Chase_Violet> "Still confused on what you want from Pi, though, she isn't a fishgirl anymore..."
  107. Oct 23 21:39:20 <Chase_Violet> "Did you think of something to do with her powers?"
  108. Oct 23 21:40:53 <Genevieve> "She may not be a fishgirl, but she might know something about fighting a Kyogre. And with Genesis situated, her powers may be stronger out here."
  109. Oct 23 21:42:22 <Chase_Violet> "Alright, fair 'nuff."
  110. Oct 23 21:44:48 <@zoofman> When consulting Biggy Lil about PI's whereabouts, you learn she's at The Lazing Slaking - Father Ruth's tavern HQ - for now.
  111. Oct 23 21:46:04 <Rosetta> "So should we call her to the boat, or head there?"
  112. Oct 23 21:46:22 <Chase_Violet> "Let's go ahead and go to the inn."
  113. Oct 23 21:46:35 <Genevieve> "We'll go visit her."
  114. Oct 23 21:46:40 <Chase_Violet> "Might wanna get some info from people there anyway."
  115. Oct 23 21:46:44 <Rosetta> "Alrighty."
  116. Oct 23 21:46:55 »» Chase_Violet heads to the Slaing!
  117. Oct 23 21:49:03 <@zoofman> As usual, this aged building is a pain in the rear to locate. It takes a few passes to find the aged, hidden building with its robot pianist and gruff bartender.
  118. Oct 23 21:49:21 <@zoofman> Other than the bartender cleaning up and the robot pianist, well, being a pianist, it's empty downstairs.
  119. Oct 23 21:49:38 <Genevieve> "Yo, where's everyone at?"
  120. Oct 23 21:51:10 <@zoofman> "Sleepin', celebratin', or gettin' ready to go back on the warpath. How about you three?" Mac the Bartender asks as he finishes mopping up behind the bar.
  121. Oct 23 21:52:23 <Rosetta> "We came to get some advice. Is Pi awake?"
  122. Oct 23 21:52:29 <Chase_Violet> "Checking in on a friend, yeah."
  123. Oct 23 21:54:01 <@zoofman> "Advice from a tribal princess? Hah!" He seems honestly amused by that. "Third door on the left upstairs; She's one of the few who are awake up there."
  124. Oct 23 21:54:37 <Chase_Violet> "Thanks, Mac." he starts heading up the stairs.
  125. Oct 23 21:55:46 <Genevieve> "I guess we should try not to wake up the rest of them."
  126. Oct 23 21:59:19 <@zoofman> She answers the door when you go up and knock on it. She's still got bed head and well, dressed like a kid - sweat pants and a t-shirt. Seems she was watching cartoons on the television in the room. "Oh! Hello!"
  127. Oct 23 21:59:56 <Rosetta> "Heya. Looks like you're having a good time relaxing."
  128. Oct 23 22:01:53 <Chase_Violet> "Hey, sorry if we're bugging you."
  129. Oct 23 22:02:23 <@zoofman> "It was scary last night, but I heard things worked out well! Even if things aren't really over yet..." she backs up into the room and sits on the bed.
  130. Oct 23 22:03:15 <Genevieve> "We actually came here to ask you for some advice about that."
  131. Oct 23 22:05:28 <Chase_Violet> "Yeah, you... wouldn't happen to know anything about Aegir, would you?"
  132. Oct 23 22:06:05 <Chase_Violet> He realizes they probably could have asked Jenks but eh, Gen had another reason for talking to Pi anyway.
  133. Oct 23 22:10:55 <@zoofman> She looks a baffled, but answers anyway. "Aegir..? The older Sirens would tell stories of him. When he was younger, he was known creating for terrible, dangerous storms for fun. But as he, started to like calm waters more. They said if he ever felt threatened by something on the surface, he would cover it in mist and still the water around it until...well, it died."
  134. Oct 23 22:12:24 <Genevieve> "Huh. Wonder if that means he can stop ships."
  135. Oct 23 22:12:40 <Rosetta> "I wouldn't doubt it."
  136. Oct 23 22:13:59 <Chase_Violet> "I see..."
  137. Oct 23 22:14:08 <Rosetta> "Anyway, we really need to know how to fight a Kyogre, basically. Grant's got one that he's merged with one of his primal god things, and it's gonna be big trouble for us if we can't take it out before the battle really gets going. You got any ideas?"
  138. Oct 23 22:15:27 <Chase_Violet> He wonders if Rosetta doesn't realize it -is- Aegir that Grant has.
  139. Oct 23 22:15:41 <Chase_Violet> He learned that much from questioning Shizimoto.
  140. Oct 23 22:16:44 <@zoofman> "Um...hit it with Lightning and Plants?" She doesn't seem to know what to tell you here. "There was another story that slaying a Wingull over water angered him..."
  141. Oct 23 22:18:34 <Genevieve> "I don't know if we can justify killing a bird as bait. But we might be able to use that to trick him."
  142. Oct 23 22:18:46 <Chase_Violet> "Mm, that's probably good enough. Thanks, Pi..."
  143. Oct 23 22:20:39 <Chase_Violet> "..." it seems like there's more Chase wants to say, but as he looks around the room, this girl in her pajamas and watching cartoons, he really can't find himself bringing it up.
  144. Oct 23 22:20:55 <Chase_Violet> "Maybe we should ask Aria about Leviathan then."
  145. Oct 23 22:21:03 <Genevieve> "Yeah, thanks. If you haven't yet, you should get Ruth or someone to introduce you to Genesis."
  146. Oct 23 22:21:10 <Rosetta> "Alright, let's find another room for that then...?"
  147. Oct 23 22:21:38 <Chase_Violet> "Sorry, this was probably weird out of the blue like that. Thanks for the stories, though. Later, Pi."
  148. Oct 23 22:22:04 <Chase_Violet> He gets up, nodding to Rosetta.
  149. Oct 23 22:22:17 <@zoofman> "Sorry, I don't think I know much more than you think I did. We were taught to respect Aegir if we ever met him to be respectful. And that he really liked parties."
  150. Oct 23 22:23:30 <@zoofman> "Oh, Genesis is here? Okay, I'll ask later! I was curious about her."
  151. Oct 23 22:23:31 <Genevieve> "Man, he would have loved last night if he wasn't merged with a Primal, then."
  152. Oct 23 22:24:14 »» Rosetta peeks out the door, then looks for a room where someone's not sleeping or otherwise occupying.
  153. Oct 23 22:24:16 <Genevieve> "Yeah, check the palace later. Let's find a room."
  154. Oct 23 22:25:27 <@zoofman> She returns to watching television, leaving the door open. You could just swing back by Mac and ask if a room is vacant, which one is - he gives you a key for it.
  155. Oct 23 22:25:59 »» Genevieve sends out a text to Zeke and Chione: [Need Wingull pokebot for bait.]
  156. Oct 23 22:28:13 <@zoofman> Chione replies with [You need what. You know, I dunno why I'd even question it. Sure, I'll make it for ya.]
  157. Oct 23 22:28:39 <Genevieve> [Thanks bb. We're going fishing with it.]
  158. Oct 23 22:29:01 »» Rosetta opens up the room and then tosses out Aria's Master Ball. "Hey Aria."
  159. Oct 23 22:29:35 <@zoofman> She makes a chirping sound. <Hey Rosetta.>
  160. Oct 23 22:29:47 <Genevieve> "Do you anything about a Primal named Leviathan?"
  161. Oct 23 22:29:48 »» Chase_Violet watches the shenanigans with interest.
  162. Oct 23 22:31:10 <@zoofman> She bird-headtilts. <The...Lord of Whorls?>
  163. Oct 23 22:31:19 <Genevieve> "Sounds like him."
  164. Oct 23 22:34:06 <Chase_Violet> He just nods.
  165. Oct 23 22:34:07 <@zoofman> <I remember...flooding, lots of flooding, but not really storms. And he wouldn't crush ships, but drag them down. Drown the crew, then they serve him.>
  166. Oct 23 22:34:31 <Chase_Violet> "Hooo shit."
  167. Oct 23 22:34:35 <Genevieve> "Like ghost pirates."
  168. Oct 23 22:35:41 <Rosetta> "Yeahhhh, I really don't think we want to face this straight up."
  169. Oct 23 22:35:56 <@zoofman> She frowns, shakes her head. <No, not undead. Just...his?>
  170. Oct 23 22:36:18 <@zoofman> She tugs at Rosetta's Master Ball, trying to explain.
  171. Oct 23 22:36:34 <Chase_Violet> "Yeah, I think I get it."
  172. Oct 23 22:36:35 <Rosetta> "Oh, like capturing them?"
  173. Oct 23 22:37:26 <@zoofman> She shakes her head, not really happy with that example either. <Like what the Unown do.>
  174. Oct 23 22:37:39 <Genevieve> "Oh, pressed."
  175. Oct 23 22:37:41 <Chase_Violet> "A hivemind."
  176. Oct 23 22:38:21 <Chase_Violet> "Well this is gonna be fun... Everhungry's gonna be needed here one way or another."
  177. Oct 23 22:38:44 <Rosetta> "When adventurers fought Leviathan, what worked the best?"
  178. Oct 23 22:39:01 <@zoofman> Chase has enough Intuition to get the idea that she's more trying to express something like mind control, or mental conditioning/brain washing.
  179. Oct 23 22:40:20 <Chase_Violet> "Basically like what they did to Yanala."
  180. Oct 23 22:41:08 <Rosetta> "Creepy. Let's not let that happen, yeah?"
  181. Oct 23 22:41:47 <@zoofman> <They provoked him with a special boat. A machine that weakened his control on the whorl was on it. They fought him from the ship.>
  182. Oct 23 22:41:51 <@zoofman> <He won't sink ships.> she repeats.
  183. Oct 23 22:42:45 <Genevieve> "And neither does Aegir, right? If he just stills the water, he doesn't vortex or anything."
  184. Oct 23 22:43:45 <Chase_Violet> "Mm..."
  185. Oct 23 22:44:24 <Genevieve> "So provided we're, like, tied to the ship all Odysseus style, we can fight him on the surface."
  186. Oct 23 22:44:50 <Rosetta> "We can't really fight like that."
  187. Oct 23 22:45:39 <Genevieve> "Well maybe not fastened to the mast, no. Maybe we can get this whorl-limiting machine with Hildebrand's help?"
  188. Oct 23 22:45:44 <Chase_Violet> "We can just try not to get knocked off. I mean, Leviathan bats around wooden ships in Eorzea, right? These are metal ships..."
  189. Oct 23 22:46:11 <Genevieve> "Or airships. Then we won't even touch the water."
  190. Oct 23 22:47:52 <Chase_Violet> "I personally think I'm confident enough to fight on the Pleiades against whatever comes after us, but we should be careful whatever we do."
  191. Oct 23 22:48:22 <Rosetta> "It's not just gonna be Leviathan. Grant's got his fleet too."
  192. Oct 23 22:48:33 <Chase_Violet> "Right. But it's not just gonna be us either."
  193. Oct 23 22:48:44 <Genevieve> "That's why we can use the Wingull bait to pull Leviathan away from the fleet."
  194. Oct 23 22:48:52 <Rosetta> "So I still think a way to target Leviathan and then have Everhungry bring the fight to land is our best bet."
  195. Oct 23 22:49:48 <Genevieve> "We can try that, too. Bait him out, then bounce him onto shore?"
  196. Oct 23 22:49:49 <Chase_Violet> "We'll see what we can do when we get out there. For now, let's head back to the ship and- did you say you were doing the Wingull thing after all?"
  197. Oct 23 22:49:59 <Genevieve> "Chione's working on it for me."
  198. Oct 23 22:50:05 <Chase_Violet> "...Oh, a bot. Good."
  199. Oct 23 22:50:34 <Rosetta> "That better be a really damn good bot."
  200. Oct 23 22:52:08 <@zoofman> Aria flutters around as you guys decide on your next destination, peering out the windows and such.
  201. Oct 23 22:52:11 <Genevieve> "Like he can even see it from the bottom of the ocean."
  202. Oct 23 22:53:00 <Rosetta> "Maybe he just senses it cause it's a water Pokemon. Then a bot wouldn't work would it? Anyway, let's just give it a shot. If it doesn't work, we'll come up with something else?"
  203. Oct 23 22:53:11 »» Chase_Violet can't get over how adorable this primal is. Ah well.
  204. Oct 23 22:53:18 <Chase_Violet> "Yeah, let's go."
  205. Oct 23 22:53:19 <Rosetta> "This is definitely pretty high on our silly idea list though, and you know how that list looks by now."
  206. Oct 23 22:53:48 <Chase_Violet> "There's also the pokeball machine gun, don't forget."
  207. Oct 23 22:53:51 <Genevieve> "If all else failes, Aria might be able to call him. Primal to primal."
  208. Oct 23 22:54:10 <Chase_Violet> "The hell are we gonna use that on besides Leviathan."
  209. Oct 23 22:54:22 <Rosetta> "Thanks for the help Aria. Let's get going"
  210. Oct 23 22:55:26 <@zoofman> Aria chirps as you return her to her ball. As you guys banter and prepare to leave - when you walk by Pi's room, you hear her telvision spazz out for a moment. "Greetings, people and Pokemon of Earth. I, am Grant Null."
  211. Oct 23 22:55:42 <Rosetta> "Oh geez."
  212. Oct 23 22:56:24 <Rosetta> "C'mon let's hurry. He's probably attacking soon if he's doing a dumb broadcast, so we don't have time to waste here."
  213. Oct 23 22:56:52 <Genevieve> "Yup, back to the boat, we can Youtube it later."
  214. Oct 23 22:57:53 »» Rosetta waves a goodbye to Mac and then dashes out the door, heading toward the port.
  215. Oct 23 22:58:05 »» Chase_Violet hurries back as well!
  216. Oct 23 22:58:32 <Genevieve> "I'm sure I can adjust the gun in a few minutes, we'll just need a few hundred Pokeballs."
  217. Oct 23 22:59:26 <Chase_Violet> Isn't everything already set up? Ah well.
  218. Oct 23 22:59:35 <@zoofman> More like TL;D Null, it seems. And honestly given you mentioned this idea to others last night, there's likely a crate or two of balls waiting for you.
  219. Oct 23 22:59:59 <Rosetta> "Shiny. What do we need to do to prepare then?"
  220. Oct 23 23:00:15 <Chase_Violet> "Get them ready to be belt fed."
  221. Oct 23 23:00:37 <@zoofman> You guys hurry back to port, arriving while many are watching the broadcast. There's some Rangers and Conscripted who were ready out here already, but the masses have not arrived.
  222. Oct 23 23:01:02 <@zoofman> You find your ship, some big ass crates of empty Pokeballs on it, and a smaller box from Chione.
  223. Oct 23 23:01:42 »» Genevieve rubs her hands together and claps. "Alright. Someone get the bot out while I load up the gun. And maybe tell everyone that we're doing something incredibly stupid because timing."
  224. Oct 23 23:02:24 <Rosetta> "Uh, okay I'll get the bot ready." Rosetta telekinetically grabs the smaller box and opens it up.
  225. Oct 23 23:02:35 <Rosetta> "Chase, you wanna give everyone the good news?"
  226. Oct 23 23:03:43 <Genevieve> 6d6+5 Tech to set this up
  227. Oct 23 23:03:43 <CritSenpai> Tech to set this up: 26 [6d6=6,3,1,5,3,3]
  228. Oct 23 23:04:04 <Rosetta> 3d6+1 Rosetta has enough tech to figure out a pokebot at least, right?
  229. Oct 23 23:04:04 <CritSenpai> Rosetta has enough tech to figure out a pokebot at least, right?: 8 [3d6=1,3,3]
  230. Oct 23 23:05:09 <@zoofman> Genevieve doesn't have much trouble at juryrigging the machine gun to take shrunken Pokeballs instead of bullets. The hardest part was fitting the balls to a chain feed, but her Pokemon were able to help make that go quicker.
  231. Oct 23 23:05:12 <Chase_Violet> He nods. "Yeah, I'll get word out." He gets to texting whoever's in charge of the fleet and some of the explorer teams who'll be out there to beware of possible mist on the seas and to prepare for rough seas - and to stay in the ships at any cost, an enemy legendary will be attempting to knock people about if the intel they've gathered is correct. He also mentions they're going
  232. Oct 23 23:05:12 <Chase_Violet> to try baiting it.
  233. Oct 23 23:05:48 <@zoofman> Rosetta opens the other box to find what basically looks like a hard plastic statue of a Wingull with a helicopter propeller on the top of it, and a remote control.
  234. Oct 23 23:05:54 <@zoofman> She could figure this out easily enough.
  235. Oct 23 23:06:33 <Rosetta> "Cute. It'd be better if the wings actually worked though." Rosetta gets to putting in the batteries and basic shit like that.
  236. Oct 23 23:07:14 <Genevieve> "We should probably get Gabby on the phone to prep Everhungry."
  237. Oct 23 23:07:31 <Rosetta> "I'll do that." Rosetta pulls out her phone and dials her up.
  238. Oct 23 23:07:44 »» Genevieve swings the gun around to test it and makes a few machine gun noises.
  239. Oct 23 23:08:35 <@zoofman> Chase gets a moderately perplexed response from Captain Bastard - he calls you up to yell at you for being complete morons, but also wishes you luck. Sorta. Seems Hendrix's crew is on sight, but they were not ready to deploy when this started. You get another report from, uh.
  240. Oct 23 23:08:51 <@zoofman> Well it's from Tyr. "CHAAAAAAAAAAASEEEEEEEE."
  241. Oct 23 23:09:30 <Chase_Violet> How is this given?
  242. Oct 23 23:09:36 <Chase_Violet> via phone?
  243. Oct 23 23:09:38 <@zoofman> He called you.
  244. Oct 23 23:09:45 <Chase_Violet> "Uh, Tyr?"
  245. Oct 23 23:10:26 <Chase_Violet> He's a bit perplexed at this as well.
  246. Oct 23 23:11:16 <Chase_Violet> He figures Tyr must actually be here now, makes sense with the goddamn tv
  247. Oct 23 23:11:18 <@zoofman> "HELLO. THERE ARE ENEMIES, CHASE. FROM ANOTHER WORLD. AT SEA. THEY JUST...POOFED. YUP, THERE'S ANOTHER ONE. AND MORE."
  248. Oct 23 23:11:30 <@zoofman> "IF YOU DESTROY THEM...THERE WILL BE PIZZA. THAT IS ALL." click.
  249. Oct 23 23:11:33 <Chase_Violet> "...."
  250. Oct 23 23:12:28 <@zoofman> Gabriella answers Rosetta's call, a bit more stressed out than Tyr was. "Hey Rose? It true you guys are already out there???"
  251. Oct 23 23:12:42 <Genevieve> "Turing, get the boat out, we need somewhere clear for this."
  252. Oct 23 23:13:26 <Chase_Violet> He puts away his phone. "So we got company on the water, guys. ...And Tyr is really competing for the goofiest legendary award."
  253. Oct 23 23:14:33 <@zoofman> Turing beepboops an affirmative sound and takes control of the ship, firing it to life and leading it out.
  254. Oct 23 23:16:01 <Rosetta> "We're just about to head out, yeah. You get the chocolates from Anna? We need Everhungry on call."
  255. Oct 23 23:17:45 <Genevieve> "White Wailord, white Wailord~"
  256. Oct 23 23:18:40 <Chase_Violet> "White Wail, Holy Grail?"
  257. Oct 23 23:18:45 <Chase_Violet> "Oh, nevermind."
  258. Oct 23 23:18:49 <@zoofman> "We were watching the, uh, press release...things are getting loaded up to be brought out to the port. I don't think I'd need to be out at sea to do this, but maaaan...you guys are just as reckless as I am! Probably even more!"
  259. Oct 23 23:19:13 <@zoofman> "Hope you look good on camera by the way because Grant's broadcasting this all over the world somehow."
  260. Oct 23 23:19:13 <Rosetta> "You wanna come along anyway? Probably not too late to send Aria to pick you up if you run towards the port."
  261. Oct 23 23:20:53 <@zoofman> "Naw, it's alright - you guys are striking before they'll expect it, I'd slow down your momentum. Put that glorified Milotic of theirs down!"
  262. Oct 23 23:22:14 <Chase_Violet> "Hope we're not -too- much ahead of everyone else or we're gonna be a nice giftwrapped target." he murmurs.
  263. Oct 23 23:22:16 <Rosetta> "If this works, Grant's gonna broadcast to the whole world just how stupid his primal is. Wish us luck, yeah?" Rosetta then turns to Gen and Chase. "Hey, is the plan to have Everhungry drag Leviathan back to land or just take out Leviathan first and then have Grant's fleet dragged out?"
  264. Oct 23 23:22:38 <Genevieve> "Let's start with trying to pop Leviathan up and over, that's probably easier."
  265. Oct 23 23:22:49 <Rosetta> "You catch that Gabby?"
  266. Oct 23 23:22:50 <Chase_Violet> "I bet we can take Leviathan... The battleship is still the biggest thing, right?"
  267. Oct 23 23:23:48 »» Chase_Violet heads up on deck.
  268. Oct 23 23:24:20 <Genevieve> "We don't have anywhere clear to throw a battleship. Leviathan is softer and probably smaller."
  269. Oct 23 23:24:57 <Rosetta> "If this goes well with Leviathan, then there's nothing in the way of doing it to Grant's fleet too, yeah? Why not both?"
  270. Oct 23 23:25:25 <@zoofman> "You're gonna want Everhungry to drag the Leviathan on land..? Okay, we'll make that happen."
  271. Oct 23 23:25:29 <Genevieve> "Sure. If it works once, then we'll do it again. Get the bird in the air."
  272. Oct 23 23:26:04 <Rosetta> "Got it!" Rosetta tosses the wingull up and then controls it to fly over the side of the boat.
  273. Oct 23 23:27:23 <Genevieve> "Alright you big dumb fish, here comes the hook." She points from the gunner platform. "Get it out over open water and circle a bit."
  274. Oct 23 23:28:01 <Rosetta> "Roger that." Rosetta does so, pushing on the joystick and rotating it a couple times.
  275. Oct 23 23:28:45 »» zoofman has changed the topic to: http://youtu.be/y3eNeRhUl74?t=1m15s |
  276. Oct 23 23:29:56 <@zoofman> You make your way out to sea, and can't really make out any ships from this distance, but you're approaching fairly deep water.
  277. Oct 23 23:30:29 »» Genevieve waits a few minutes. "We don't want to do this where Grant can get into position quickly. Here?"
  278. Oct 23 23:30:43 <Rosetta> "Yeah, probably good."
  279. Oct 23 23:31:12 <Genevieve> "Turing! Take the shot!"
  280. Oct 23 23:32:09 <@zoofman> Okay, assuming someone's got a pair of binoculars ready or something similar, you wait until you see boats on the horizon - sporting a flag with Grant's emblem on it. I'm also going to assume one of you started watching the news feed for this to see that it was his fleet approaching this lone boat.
  281. Oct 23 23:32:54 »» Chase_Violet has his phone out checking this out, yeah.
  282. Oct 23 23:35:02 «--- Rosetta (~castfromh@seizon.senryaku.shimashouka) has Left #easternislesrhapsody (Leaving)
  283. Oct 23 23:35:08 ---» Rosetta (~castfromh@seizon.senryaku.shimashouka) has Joined #easternislesrhapsody
  284. Oct 23 23:35:28 <Rosetta> "Change of plans Gabby." Rosetta calls into her phone. "Wait til we take out Leviathan, then snag Grant's fleet to shore."
  285. Oct 23 23:36:20 <Genevieve> "Preferably a place with no people in it. Evacuate something!"
  286. Oct 23 23:36:23 <@zoofman> Turing takes the shot, nailing the roto-albetross
  287. Oct 23 23:36:29 <Chase_Violet> "Preferably an empty place, yeah!"
  288. Oct 23 23:36:44 <Chase_Violet> "Like NOT the Red Blade City shoreline?"
  289. Oct 23 23:36:48 <@zoofman> It shreds the thing to pieces, and you discover it was filled with feathers and red jam
  290. Oct 23 23:36:57 <@zoofman> or fake blood of some sort
  291. Oct 23 23:36:59 <Genevieve> "Nice touch, Chi-chi."
  292. Oct 23 23:37:10 <Rosetta> "Clever." Rosetta nods in approval.
  293. Oct 23 23:37:52 «--- Aori_Radidjiu (Revolution@Rizon-2078EF04.hsd1.in.comcast.net) has Quit (*.net *.split)
  294. Oct 23 23:37:54 »» Genevieve yells over the side of the boat. "Wow, shooting sea birds is easy AND fun!"
  295. Oct 23 23:38:02 ---» Aori_Radidjiu (Revolution@Rizon-2078EF04.hsd1.in.comcast.net) has Joined #easternislesrhapsody
  296. Oct 23 23:38:04 <@zoofman> You hear a growling sound from beneath you, and a thick fog starts to settle in along all sides of the ship. The waters go still, and the wind halts.
  297. Oct 23 23:38:30 <@zoofman> Something passes under the boat, jostling it and splashing water.
  298. Oct 23 23:38:50 <@zoofman> It passes again, and again, before leaping over the vessel - a titanic, serpentine being.
  299. Oct 23 23:39:44 »» Genevieve snaps a pic on her phone. #GransSucks2014
  300. Oct 23 23:41:12 <@zoofman> It rises again, stretching over the starboard side of your vessel. A form somewhere between a Milotic and a Gyrados, and easily twice the length and size of either, the beast looms over you and hisses. Much like Garuda was, it's covered in inscripted Unowns.
  301. Oct 23 23:41:13 »» Chase_Violet puts away his phone. "The primal Leviathan... and the Keeper Aegir." he whispers in awe. "...we're gonna straighten this out."
  302. Oct 23 23:42:48 »» Chase_Violet brings out his guitar.
  303. Oct 23 23:43:28 <@zoofman> <Foolisssh landwalkersss, I you ssshall be the firssst to fall in our conquesst.> It flicks its forked tounge at you and snorts, blowing a cold, damp air down on the surface of the ship.
  304. Oct 23 23:44:40 <Rosetta> "Took the bait! Let's get this started." Rosetta draws her Gyarados sword and tosses out Nocturne's Poke Ball.
  305. Oct 23 23:45:06 »» Genevieve aims the Pokeball gun. "I'm gonna Love this."
  306. Oct 23 23:45:46 <@zoofman> I'm sure we all will as the battle against Grant Null begins! But for tonight, </session!>
