  1. Aug 16 12:11:45 <Aori_Radidjiu> So! Friday, June 5th, sometime in the morning (I'm not sure how early Mel wanted it to be, most likely at Dawn, in which case it'd be 5 AM)! Shyla has gotten together fancystuff for Mel's ritual, Mel's made a mask and some other things, and she's got the crew allllll grouped up and ready to watch. Or at least, the main members of the Mutiny, Shyla, Pierce (he's refused to actually be
  2. Aug 16 12:11:45 <Aori_Radidjiu> a candidate), and surprisingly Team ReSET has come along as well. Luna is probably along as well, considering she went and helped Mel with this so much. Sami has her camera, but it's not on. "Hey, can I film this~?"
  3. Aug 16 12:13:30 <Melons> "..." Melanie whispers to Luna. "Do we need lackies? They seem like they'd be decent cameramen/lackies for the show..."
  4. Aug 16 12:14:07 <Aori_Radidjiu> Luna muses. "It WOULD be nice to have someone that's not a Pokemon film us..."
  5. Aug 16 12:17:14 <Melons> "Well...you go negotiate that, I have aspirants to brief!" For reference, Mel is in her people-size godform...and...her hair seems to be combed and all that for once...also...there's something on her face...makeup? Unfortunately for Mel, the only times she's been used to applying makeup were in awkward school times, so it's pretty much just awkward emokid eyes. Of course, a complete lack of sleep has got her stumbling a bit and
  6. Aug 16 12:17:14 <Melons> fighting to keep her eyes open.
  7. Aug 16 12:17:48 <Aori_Radidjiu> Luna probably helped with the makeup
  8. Aug 16 12:18:37 * Mackenzie is focused, or at least looking as focused as someone with Pathetic Focus can be, getting into the moment as though he were getting ready to play a role for a movie.
  9. Aug 16 12:18:47 * Knox doesn't really seem to have a problem with having been gotten up early. He's made sure to rest off his wounds from yesterday, though.
  10. Aug 16 12:18:52 <Melons> Is Mitsuko here yet?
  11. Aug 16 12:19:08 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mitsuko is in something a little less dramatic hero-y, she's wearing a blue blouse and jean shorts, no cape. Hair's still tied up like usual.
  12. Aug 16 12:19:19 <Aori_Radidjiu> Oh, fingerless gloves too
  13. Aug 16 12:19:27 <Aori_Radidjiu> she doesn't seem bothered at all by getting up early.
  14. Aug 16 12:20:10 * Mackenzie is also busying himself with stretches and mild warmup exercises.
  15. Aug 16 12:20:24 * Mayuri sits back and watches. Let's see what Mel wants Kaane for~
  16. Aug 16 12:20:44 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mitsuko is streeetching her arms, this way and that, and then she gets down to stretch her legs.\
  17. Aug 16 12:21:19 * Knox pops his neck, though he raises an eye at Mitsuko being present. ...huh. He remains quiet though and leans on a nearby rockface for the moment.
  18. Aug 16 12:21:25 <Melons> "So...uh..yeah...it's...early as balls...but like...we're uh...my lovely assistants..." She gestures to Shyla and Luna, "...have helped me put together some of this stuff...although there are a still finishing touches to be made, what with preparing the ritual glyph and ensuring it's all good and that...so...while we take care of thaaaat...Mack, Knox, and Mitsuko have all agreed to help me as a possible candidate for Kaane...so
  19. Aug 16 12:21:25 <Melons> to pick the lucky winner, and to help generate energy...you're going to have...where was I...oh, free for all brawl!"
  20. Aug 16 12:22:50 <Mayuri> "... uhm, are we summoning Kaane or Kuu?"
  21. Aug 16 12:23:29 <Melons> Melanie scowls at the kid. "These are HEROIC people, okay? We're not brutally mauling our enemies or anything. It's a contest of spirit and all that. No underhandedness, etc. Oh, and no pokemon."
  22. Aug 16 12:23:48 <Aori_Radidjiu> Sigmund's plopped himself on a rock to get a good view. Ree seems really ansty, but Sigmund gets her to sit down as well.
  23. Aug 16 12:23:48 * Knox tries not to fucking laugh at that remark from Melanie.
  24. Aug 16 12:23:53 <Aori_Radidjiu> *antsy
  25. Aug 16 12:24:10 * Mackenzie stops mid-stretch. "...Wait, why?"
  26. Aug 16 12:24:29 <Melons> "Why what?"
  27. Aug 16 12:25:34 <Mackenzie> "Never mind."
  28. Aug 16 12:25:46 <Knox> "I'm assuming Melanie needs -something- as a catalyst for this ritual, might as well be a fight. Otherwise, this is a deity of procreation we're dealing with here. Do -you- like the alternatives?" he asks Mitsuko.
  29. Aug 16 12:26:29 <Mayuri> Mayuri looks a bit surprised at Mel goin scrowly all of a sudden. "I was expecting something more like a big fire or something, that's all! Not... uhm, a big fight."
  30. Aug 16 12:26:32 <Melons> "KNOX!" Ahem, she clears her throat. "...let me deal with that problem if it happens..."
  31. Aug 16 12:26:35 <Aori_Radidjiu> She turns a little red. "U-uh."
  32. Aug 16 12:27:08 <Knox> er
  33. Aug 16 12:27:15 <Knox> Actually I meant to have him say that to Mayurio
  34. Aug 16 12:27:17 <Knox> *Mayuri
  35. Aug 16 12:27:21 <Knox> EITHER WAY
  36. Aug 16 12:27:34 <Melons> "Don't you get it, kid?!" Melanie lavishly waves her hand towards the slowly rising sun. "THAT is our big fire!"
  37. Aug 16 12:27:39 <Aori_Radidjiu> Sigmund motions for Mayuri to sit with him. "A big fire is boring, doesn't have much going on conceptually, unless you're burning something with meaning."
  38. Aug 16 12:27:50 * Mayuri shrugs and follows Sigmund
  39. Aug 16 12:28:07 * Knox totally wasn't hitting on Mitsuko or anything
  40. Aug 16 12:28:17 * Melons WE SHALL SEE!
  41. Aug 16 12:29:09 <Knox> "Yadda yadda yadda fiery fighting spirits or something. Mel's got this. Probably."
  42. Aug 16 12:29:25 <Mackenzie> "...Oh, right. I almost forgot, again!" Mack sends out an Eileen, and a Ross and a Veronica, to sit on the sidelines. "Why don't you guys participate in the festivities as well? Or at least, you know, hang out and enjoy the show."
  43. Aug 16 12:29:33 <Mayuri> "I'm not sure a big fight has much more going for it. Oh well, let's watch~"
  44. Aug 16 12:29:59 <Aori_Radidjiu> Eileen and Ross shrug, and sit with ReSET and Mayuri. Veronica curls up and watches right where she is.
  45. Aug 16 12:30:19 <Melons> "...who?" Melanie stares in a bit of a daze before snapping back to attention. "Oh, right, uh...alright...you guys can...someone give them a countdown." Melanie goes off to fuss with the godly raiment and to make sure the sigil is all nice and pretty.
  46. Aug 16 12:32:22 * Mackenzie rotates his shoulders one at a time, then draws his sword. "Nothing underhanded, but no other holds barred?"
  47. Aug 16 12:33:19 <Melons> Melanie looks back at Mack, confusion evident on her face. "Well, I mean, I guess you could throw underhanded, but it's not very man- OH you...uh...lesse...don't be a dick...no pokemon...weapons are fine I suppose...yeah that should be it."
  48. Aug 16 12:33:19 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mitsuko punches her fist into her other hand. "Got it, I can do that!"
  49. Aug 16 12:34:01 <Mackenzie> "What about, y'know, that other thing I do. Magic dream powers."
  50. Aug 16 12:34:07 <Knox> "I'll refrrain from using Toxic, I guess."
  51. Aug 16 12:34:21 <Melons> "If you remain a hero, magic dream powers are okay."
  52. Aug 16 12:34:36 <Melons> "Just keep in mind getting punched while you're activating them isn't underhanded."
  53. Aug 16 12:34:46 * Knox straps on the KAISER KLAW instead of his usual modified glue cannon.
  54. Aug 16 12:35:31 * Knox tightens his Burning Focus Headband too.
  55. Aug 16 12:36:20 <Melons> "What, no one is going to do the countdown? Okay, fine..." She lets out Sleight and he quickly conjures a massive '3' in the air. "Everyone ready? Anymore questions?"
  56. Aug 16 12:36:23 <Aori_Radidjiu> Luna grins. "So, you all ready?"
  57. Aug 16 12:36:35 <Aori_Radidjiu> (Luna was about to start counting down)
  58. Aug 16 12:36:43 <Melons> (NOT AS COOL AS GIANT MAGIC NUMBERS)
  59. Aug 16 12:37:18 * Mayuri idly mumbles to herself (and maybe Team Reset) "Do any of them even fight underhanded at all? Maybe glue cannons count, I don't know."
  60. Aug 16 12:37:27 <Knox> "Let's do this shit." He gets ready. He doesn't think he's a suitable host for Kaane but whatever, you never get anywhere without trying, right?
  61. Aug 16 12:38:02 <Knox> Oh, and...
  62. Aug 16 12:38:13 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mitsuko widens her feet to get into a stance. "Ready when you are!"
  63. Aug 16 12:38:18 <Knox> 1d20 Rewrite
  64. Aug 16 12:38:19 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, Rewrite: 11 [1d20=11]
  65. Aug 16 12:38:37 * Knox is good to go!
  66. Aug 16 12:38:43 <Melons> "How 'bout macaroni and cheese? You good?"
  67. Aug 16 12:39:04 <Mackenzie> "Let's get this started."
  68. Aug 16 12:39:20 <Melons> 2!
  69. Aug 16 12:39:42 <Melons> 1!
  70. Aug 16 12:40:11 <Melons> BEEGIN! Unfortunately Sleight is not the best at spelling, but he howls a bit at the same time so it should be pretty obvious.
  71. Aug 16 12:40:19 * Aori_Radidjiu has changed the topic to: Mitsuko > Knox > Mack
  72. Aug 16 12:40:23 <Aori_Radidjiu> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eOxabLadOVQ
  73. Aug 16 12:41:02 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mitsuko! She grins and charges right at Mackenzie!
  74. Aug 16 12:41:05 <Aori_Radidjiu> 1d20 OUTRAGE
  75. Aug 16 12:41:06 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, OUTRAGE: 2 [1d20=2]
  76. Aug 16 12:41:49 <Aori_Radidjiu> Her pupils change a bit, getting reptilian, and she ROARS before hitting Mack obliquely (SMITE!)
  77. Aug 16 12:41:56 <Melons> After getting everything in order, Melanie plops down on the ground with her Totodile and a wiggling egg.
  78. Aug 16 12:42:13 <Aori_Radidjiu> 3d12+10+30+15 Twisted Power is a hell of a drug
  79. Aug 16 12:42:14 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, Twisted Power is a hell of a drug: 76 [3d12=2,7,12]
  80. Aug 16 12:42:18 <Aori_Radidjiu> That's resisted, of course
  81. Aug 16 12:42:29 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mitsuko is Enraged and Confused!
  82. Aug 16 12:42:33 <Aori_Radidjiu> Knox!
  83. Aug 16 12:42:42 * Mackenzie sidesteps readily, but still takes a bit of damage from the sheer ferocity!
  84. Aug 16 12:43:13 * Knox rushes in to the fray and grits his teeth, before unleashing a surge of fire!
  85. Aug 16 12:43:23 <Knox> 1d20 Lava Plume vs both Mack and Mitsuko
  86. Aug 16 12:43:23 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, Lava Plume vs both Mack and Mitsuko: 13 [1d20=13]
  87. Aug 16 12:43:46 <Knox> 2d8+10+39
  88. Aug 16 12:43:46 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, 2d8+10+39: 55 [2d8=2,4]
  89. Aug 16 12:44:16 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mack!
  90. Aug 16 12:44:37 * Lesieli finally pops up on the sidelines near Mel, seems /someone/ got busy and lost track of time a bit "What, you're making them fight for this thing? That really for the ritual, or you just tricking them for fun?"
  91. Aug 16 12:45:25 <Melons> Mel grins. "...both. I mean, I could have found a way around it, but...well it makes the work easier and it's fun to watch. Besides, I want to see how badass my cousin is."
  92. Aug 16 12:45:55 * Mackenzie takes an evasive jump backwards, before evoking his HEROISM and getting PUMPED by FOCUSING his ENERGY!
  93. Aug 16 12:46:06 <Aori_Radidjiu> Heroism gets you...
  94. Aug 16 12:46:58 <Aori_Radidjiu> http://pastebin.com/BVT8t5F9 SLAM MCJAM. Hrm. Not terribly useful.
  95. Aug 16 12:47:07 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mitsuko!
  96. Aug 16 12:47:10 <Aori_Radidjiu> 1d20 Confus
  97. Aug 16 12:47:11 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, Confus: 4 [1d20=4]
  98. Aug 16 12:47:15 <Aori_Radidjiu> she hits herself!
  99. Aug 16 12:47:43 <Aori_Radidjiu> 1d8+8+30+15 resisted
  100. Aug 16 12:47:43 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, resisted: 58 [1d8=5]
  101. Aug 16 12:47:46 <Melons> "...that...that isn't heroic at all..." Melanie begins to worry she'll actually have to do something to generate mana.
  102. Aug 16 12:48:03 <Aori_Radidjiu> Knox!
  103. Aug 16 12:48:44 * Knox slips around Mitsuk, spinning into a powerful kick that launches her at Mackenzie!
  104. Aug 16 12:48:45 <Mackenzie> "Yo. You wanted energy, right?" Mack pops his mofuggin' collar. "Well it's time to bring it."
  105. Aug 16 12:48:49 <Knox> 1d20 Mega Kick
  106. Aug 16 12:48:50 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, Mega Kick: 18 [1d20=18]
  107. Aug 16 12:48:58 <Aori_Radidjiu> Hiiiiit!
  108. Aug 16 12:49:12 <Knox> 3d12+10+6+18+5
  109. Aug 16 12:49:12 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, 3d12+10+6+18+5: 46 [3d12=1,4,2]
  110. Aug 16 12:49:20 <Knox> Launches her 2 meters towards Mack!
  111. Aug 16 12:50:21 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mitsuko's blouse rips a bit, as she's sent flying into Mack, for...
  112. Aug 16 12:50:30 <Aori_Radidjiu> 1d10+6
  113. Aug 16 12:50:31 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, 1d10+6: 14 [1d10=8]
  114. Aug 16 12:50:34 <Aori_Radidjiu> that much damage
  115. Aug 16 12:51:50 <Aori_Radidjiu> Knox gets a good look at her body when he does that kick, she's not well-endowed, but she's certainly pretty cute! Cute Charm! Knox is infatuated!
  116. Aug 16 12:52:08 <Mackenzie> Mack gets a girl tossed into him, but it does not affect him. He catches her and sets her aside.
  117. Aug 16 12:52:40 <Knox> It should be noted this is probably the first time that anyone besides Mack has seen Knox go on the physical offensive. He's not TERRIBLE with this twisted power stuff but his rolls could be better, sheesh.
  118. Aug 16 12:52:56 <Aori_Radidjiu> Anyway, Mack?
  119. Aug 16 12:53:08 * Knox does seem to stare at Mitsuko a little more intensely than before, as a bead of sweat runs down his face.
  120. Aug 16 12:53:20 * Melons is not amused.
  121. Aug 16 12:53:41 <Knox> DOES SHE HAVE THE INTUITION TO TELL?
  122. Aug 16 12:53:55 <Melons> 3d6+4 I've eyes
  123. Aug 16 12:53:56 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, I've eyes: 13 [3d6=1,5,3]
  124. Aug 16 12:54:04 <Knox> 6d6 I have Guile
  125. Aug 16 12:54:04 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, I have Guile: 19 [6d6=3,4,2,3,6,1]
  126. Aug 16 12:54:10 <Mackenzie> Aqua Ring!
  127. Aug 16 12:54:24 <Aori_Radidjiu> Knox!
  128. Aug 16 12:54:26 <Aori_Radidjiu> er
  129. Aug 16 12:54:27 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mitsuko!

  131. Aug 16 12:54:31 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, Confus: 14 [1d20=14]
  132. Aug 16 12:55:28 <Aori_Radidjiu> She rushes back at Knox, going into a FLURRY OF HITS this way and that up close!
  133. Aug 16 12:55:31 <Aori_Radidjiu> 1d20 Close Combat!
  134. Aug 16 12:55:32 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, Close Combat!: 8 [1d20=8]
  135. Aug 16 12:55:49 <Aori_Radidjiu> AC 2, so that should hit
  136. Aug 16 12:55:59 <Aori_Radidjiu> 3d12+10+30+15 and defenses down
  137. Aug 16 12:56:00 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, and defenses down: 73 [3d12=10,5,3]
  138. Aug 16 12:56:20 <Knox> He's pummeled by the flurry of hits!
  139. Aug 16 12:56:50 <Aori_Radidjiu> Knox!
  140. Aug 16 12:57:45 * Knox tosses a Sludge Bomb Mack's way. "Get over here already, you're not going to generate any energy pussyfooting around!"
  141. Aug 16 12:57:50 <Knox> 1d20
  142. Aug 16 12:57:51 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, 1d20: 3 [1d20=3]
  143. Aug 16 12:59:09 <Knox> Easily a miss.
  144. Aug 16 12:59:13 <Mackenzie> "You gotta hype the crowd before you make your splash. Lemme show ya!" Mack charges in and Leaf Blade Passes through the both of them!
  145. Aug 16 12:59:16 <Mackenzie> 1d20
  146. Aug 16 12:59:16 <DiceMaid-9001> Mackenzie, 1d20: 11 [1d20=11]
  147. Aug 16 12:59:47 <Mackenzie> 2d10+10+33
  148. Aug 16 12:59:48 <DiceMaid-9001> Mackenzie, 2d10+10+33: 47 [2d10=3,1]
  149. Aug 16 13:00:01 <Mackenzie> Yo let's crank that shit up.
  150. Aug 16 13:00:09 <Mackenzie> 6d6+2 swag
  151. Aug 16 13:00:10 <DiceMaid-9001> Mackenzie, swag: 23 [6d6=6,6,1,3,1,4]
  152. Aug 16 13:00:15 <Mackenzie> 2d10+10+33
  153. Aug 16 13:00:16 <DiceMaid-9001> Mackenzie, 2d10+10+33: 57 [2d10=6,8]
  154. Aug 16 13:00:47 * Knox has been INJURED for the record
  155. Aug 16 13:01:21 * Mackenzie leaves a wake of leaves that shimmer on the sunlight as he dashes clean through the both of them.
  156. Aug 16 13:01:32 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mitsuko!
  157. Aug 16 13:02:31 <Knox> 1d20 Oh yeah, my infatuation roll for last turn
  158. Aug 16 13:02:32 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, Oh yeah, my infatuation roll for last turn: 14 [1d20=14]
  159. Aug 16 13:02:41 <Aori_Radidjiu> 1d20 Circle Throw on Mack
  160. Aug 16 13:02:42 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, Circle Throw on Mack: 20 [1d20=20]
  161. Aug 16 13:02:46 <Aori_Radidjiu> noice
  162. Aug 16 13:02:50 <Mackenzie> Oh snapple.
  163. Aug 16 13:03:16 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mitsuko runs up to Mack, grabs him, and TOSSES HIM 6 feet, Mackenzie landing on his ass (tripped, which means you can't do anything that's melee range this turn)
  164. Aug 16 13:03:29 <Melons> (6 meters minus his WC)
  165. Aug 16 13:03:44 <Aori_Radidjiu> (...minus WC, I just noticed that)
  166. Aug 16 13:03:44 <Mackenzie> "Hey, don't think I didn't see this comin'!" Detect! Mack lands on his feet like a kitty cat!
  167. Aug 16 13:03:49 <Aori_Radidjiu> So like 2 meters
  168. Aug 16 13:03:57 <Aori_Radidjiu> whatever, he's out of Melee range regardless
  169. Aug 16 13:04:20 <Aori_Radidjiu> 4d6+16+30+15 DAMAGE
  170. Aug 16 13:04:21 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, DAMAGE: 79 [4d6=5,4,5,4]
  171. Aug 16 13:04:22 <Melons> (He Detected)

  173. Aug 16 13:04:31 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, oh ruck I forgot confu-: 14 [1d20=14]
  174. Aug 16 13:04:37 <Aori_Radidjiu> okay the confus doesn't negate it
  175. Aug 16 13:04:39 <Aori_Radidjiu> AS FOR THAT
  176. Aug 16 13:05:08 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mitsuko makes as if to grab him, then slides between his legs and grabs him from behind. FEINT!
  177. Aug 16 13:05:18 <Aori_Radidjiu> TAKE YO DAMAGE
  178. Aug 16 13:05:23 <Aori_Radidjiu> Knox!
  179. Aug 16 13:05:26 <Knox> 1d20 infatuation roll for this turn
  180. Aug 16 13:05:27 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, infatuation roll for this turn: 19 [1d20=19]
  181. Aug 16 13:05:59 * Mackenzie gets tripped the fuck up.
  182. Aug 16 13:06:02 * Knox pops his neck, he's good now. He's seen enough tits to last a while, even if this girl is pretty cute.
  183. Aug 16 13:06:04 <Melons> "Holy shit she's a badass!" If Melanie were on a seat, she WOULD ONLY BE USING THE EDGE.
  184. Aug 16 13:08:41 * Knox crosses his arms and focuses before... What's he doing? He sort of jets forward, leaving a trail of gas behind himself and his body turning a dark purple color, though not collapsing like what happens when he acid armors either. He seems to pass right through Mitsuko and onward to Mack, before unleashing a flurry of blows at the end, his body twisting and turning in ways that
  185. Aug 16 13:08:41 * Knox don't make sense when you consider skeletons are a thing.
  186. Aug 16 13:08:45 <Aori_Radidjiu> Sami is squiddling as she records
  187. Aug 16 13:08:48 <Knox> 1d20 refluffed Sludge Wave
  188. Aug 16 13:08:48 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, refluffed Sludge Wave: 15 [1d20=15]
  189. Aug 16 13:09:12 <Aori_Radidjiu> Sure is hittin'!
  190. Aug 16 13:09:48 <Knox> 3d12+10+36+3 to both of them and they're both Slowed. Mack takes an extra 5 damage because he's Tripped.
  191. Aug 16 13:09:49 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, to both of them and they're both Slowed. Mack takes an extra 5 damage because he's Tripped.: 59 [3d12=5,4,1]
  192. Aug 16 13:10:17 <Knox> His body turns back to normal at the end of his combo.
  193. Aug 16 13:10:33 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mitsuko flops on the ground, exhausted, with some poison burns on her skin. She's down!
  194. Aug 16 13:10:40 <Melons> Mel gives Sami a look laden with ire. Camerapeople are supposed to be silent.
  195. Aug 16 13:11:10 <Aori_Radidjiu> She zips it.
  196. Aug 16 13:11:51 * Mackenzie just stays on the ground, making a nonchalant pose with his head propped up on his arm. He shrugs with his other arm. And he's down!
  197. Aug 16 13:12:12 <Mackenzie> Too swag to look beat up.
  198. Aug 16 13:13:12 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mitsuko gives a thumbs up.
  199. Aug 16 13:13:53 * Knox looked ready to finish this with a FIRE PUNCH too, but as his fist lights up, he looks down at Mack with a bit of amusement, thens and looks at Mitsuko, seeing her down as well, and shrugs, letting the contained fire burst upward out of his hand in victory.
  200. Aug 16 13:15:02 * Knox straightens himself up a bit. "Not bad."
  201. Aug 16 13:15:15 <Aori_Radidjiu> +3 bonus EXP to Knox~
  202. Aug 16 13:15:30 <Melons> "Huh...not...at all what I expected...alright then...uh...someone make sure they're all okay..." Mel rushes off to retrieve the Firebird's Finery (I'm stealing names from D3, sh-shut up, it just sounds right) "Hey, hey, hey, Luna, get ready, is there a way to see if we have enough mana? Is that a thing?"
  203. Aug 16 13:16:10 <Aori_Radidjiu> Luna shrugs. "Last I checked you had to eyeball it."
  204. Aug 16 13:16:25 <Melons> "If it isn't enough after we start, what happens?"
  205. Aug 16 13:16:31 <Melons> "Can we still add more?"
  206. Aug 16 13:16:41 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Probably!"
  207. Aug 16 13:17:06 <Melons> ...Mel points at her egg.
  208. Aug 16 13:17:07 <Mayuri> "Shouldn't there be, like, books on this kinda thing?"
  209. Aug 16 13:17:16 <Melons> 6d6-2+2 "I COMMAND YOU TO HATCH!"
  210. Aug 16 13:17:16 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, "I COMMAND YOU TO HATCH!": 21 [6d6=4,2,6,6,2,1]
  211. Aug 16 13:17:49 * Mackenzie eventually gets up and extends Knox his hand.
  212. Aug 16 13:17:53 <Mayuri> 2d6+5 Resist sudden case of the giggles
  213. Aug 16 13:17:53 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, Resist sudden case of the giggles: 11 [2d6=1,5]
  214. Aug 16 13:18:04 <Aori_Radidjiu> The egg JUMPS and then cracks upon landing on the ground, a lil' charmander tossing off the eggshell on her head!
  215. Aug 16 13:18:25 <Aori_Radidjiu> Knox's hatches too, a lil' black charmander!
  216. Aug 16 13:18:48 <Aori_Radidjiu> And then a Tyrogue PUNCHES ITS WAY out of the egg nonchalantly
  217. Aug 16 13:19:09 <Melons> Surprise turns to joy as she squiddles and pats her on the head. "ALRIGHT! Okay, so...Knox, put this on." She thrusts a fancy looking birdmask and a...I think it was a kimono? into Knox's arms.
  218. Aug 16 13:19:23 <Aori_Radidjiu> Lastly a mouth CHOMPS through the egg of the mawile, the lil' porcelain doll girl part crawling out with a ?
  219. Aug 16 13:19:24 * Knox takes Mack's hand, helping him up and shaking it.
  220. Aug 16 13:19:36 <Aori_Radidjiu> :?
  221. Aug 16 13:19:43 * Mayuri blink blinks and headtilts
  222. Aug 16 13:19:46 <Lesieli> "Niice!" She high-fives her new little fighter
  223. Aug 16 13:19:57 <Knox> Same thing with Mitsuko really if applicable, but then he turns and looks at the eggs.
  224. Aug 16 13:20:53 * Knox then looks at Mel and then looks at the finery.
  225. Aug 16 13:21:22 <Knox> "...Fiine. Let's see how this goes."
  226. Aug 16 13:21:37 * Mayuri ees a little and tries petting the Mawile!
  227. Aug 16 13:21:45 * Knox throws the kimono around himself (inb4 she tailored it to Mitsuko) and fastens it, then slips on the mask.
  228. Aug 16 13:21:55 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mitsuko gives you a pat on the back with the handshake, walking over to get a seat
  229. Aug 16 13:22:06 <Melons> Mel would feel awful making alterations to something her apprentice owns!
  230. Aug 16 13:22:26 <Aori_Radidjiu> The Mawile looks at you a little apprehensively, and then the hairmouth goes and BITES YOUR HAND...without any teeth, so it doesn't really hurt.
  231. Aug 16 13:23:19 <Melons> "Mask might be uncomfortable, but I think I did a pretty good job, so we can find out what it can actually do, but heregogogo." She pushes Knox into place on the glyph. "Luna, how do we start this? Is it still blood?"
  232. Aug 16 13:23:34 <Knox> He gives a look over to the charmander as he's pushed, but eventually gets into that glyph.
  233. Aug 16 13:24:19 <Aori_Radidjiu> Luna shakes her head. "Naw, fire!" she puts some flammable material in the outer circle of the glyph and lights it~
  234. Aug 16 13:24:28 <Mayuri> Mayuri jumps a little and ;-;s
  235. Aug 16 13:24:42 <Melons> Melanie quickly hops the fuck out whydidn'tshewaitohgodshe'stryingtokillme!
  236. Aug 16 13:25:08 <Knox> If Knox is apprehensive about the fires rushing in, he doesn't show it. It'd be kind of hard to through the mask anyway.
  237. Aug 16 13:25:17 <Melons> She then waits apprehensively, hoping she doesn't have to procreate or even worse dance to add more mana.
  238. Aug 16 13:25:26 <Aori_Radidjiu> The Mawile doesn't let go of your hand with its mouth, being brought up when you jump, and then it looks at you. "...ma?"
  239. Aug 16 13:25:37 * Knox eventually tries to take a suitable POSE for this, spreading his arms out wide.
  240. Aug 16 13:25:42 * Mackenzie heads over to his mons. "Hey Eileen? Do you know any like classic Kantonese song or dance we could do that might improve the energy?"
  241. Aug 16 13:25:46 <Aori_Radidjiu> It reaches out its hands like it wants a hug.
  242. Aug 16 13:26:04 <Aori_Radidjiu> Eileen puts a hand to her chin. "Hmmmm, oh!Z"
  243. Aug 16 13:26:11 <Melons> "Kantonese would be COMPLETELY WRONG DO NOT FUCKING DO THAT!"
  244. Aug 16 13:26:14 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Even better, I know a Wakinese one!"
  245. Aug 16 13:26:16 * Mayuri shrugs and hugs it... best she can with one of her hands being Mawile'd
  246. Aug 16 13:26:24 * Lesieli tells little Rouge to stand guard for Sheep and co. while she attends to the ritualthing. Let him get to know his family~
  247. Aug 16 13:27:19 * Mackenzie makes a motion with his hands at Melons similar to a Krabby pinching its claws.
  248. Aug 16 13:28:07 * Lesieli good thing Les was busy and missed that Kanto song bit, things could have gotten a fair bit uglier fast
  249. Aug 16 13:28:12 * Melons makes a motion with her hand at Mack similar to extending her middle finger.
  250. Aug 16 13:29:10 <Aori_Radidjiu> Eileen begins singing a song in Niihua, while Knox sits around in the middle of a ring of fire with a mask and a kimono on. The sun is rising.
  251. Aug 16 13:29:59 <Aori_Radidjiu> Knox, it...feels like you're going...to...sleeep....
  252. Aug 16 13:30:05 * Mayuri does her best to try and watch the ritual going on with a baby Mawile in her lap!
  253. Aug 16 13:30:35 <Melons> Mel picks up her two water monsters and focuses back on Knox.
  254. Aug 16 13:31:39 <Aori_Radidjiu> Knox slowly turns around and his voice goes out, a bit...echo-ey. "So. Who is it that called me?"
  255. Aug 16 13:32:06 <Melons> "Uh...y-yo?"
  256. Aug 16 13:32:48 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Come forth, closer." He probably doesn't mean way up close, there's still a ring of fire around him.
  257. Aug 16 13:33:09 <Melons> Melanie approaches THE RING OF FIIIIIIIIRRRRRRE THE RING OF- she nods for Lesieli to approach as well.
  258. Aug 16 13:34:00 <Lesieli> "I'm tagging along too!" Les hops forward as well
  259. Aug 16 13:34:41 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Hmmmm, it seems Mele's rebirth is coming along nicely...and you...I do not recognize you. A new entry in the pantheon? How strange."
  260. Aug 16 13:36:02 <Melons> "That's...kindasorta why I called you...I...want to become a god. A real god, like the rest of you. And to that end...well Lesieli's brought to my attention that the reach of your religion is...diminishing. And I think I..we...can help." She beckons Luna over as well.
  261. Aug 16 13:36:53 <Aori_Radidjiu> Luna, in her pink kimono, walks over and gives a bow.
  262. Aug 16 13:44:01 * Mackenzie is sitting next to Ross, whispering toward him, but not necessarily in his ear. "So what do you think? Is there something special to this morning sun stuff, or is the whole draw just the 'first taste since nightfall' angle?"
  263. Aug 16 13:44:24 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I see...that would be appreciated. I see Kanaloa has awakened part of your potential, but for you to awaken more you have to decide what role you'll play alongside us. As for worship...ah, yes. I care little for my personal domains, as simply being viewed as sovereign means any reawakening in the others means that bringing the others to the forefront will bring me forward as
  264. Aug 16 13:44:24 <Aori_Radidjiu> well. I simply wish for you to help the others however you may. If you wish to give me an offering of any sort, I will repay you with a favor, of course, so if you have anything to offer go ahead and do so, but I do not demand it as the others might...oh. Yes, I forgot."
  265. Aug 16 13:45:27 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Pele is restless, you might do well to wake her and sate her hunger for violence. She is...formidable, however, so I would not recommend doing that right away."
  266. Aug 16 13:46:52 <Melons> "Really?" She gives a sly grin to Les. "...I think we might know a group working to undermine you all that she'd take a particular joy in smiting...but anyway, as far as offerings..."
  267. Aug 16 13:47:12 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Your relative with the draconic touch would do well to act as a vessel for her."
  268. Aug 16 13:50:08 <Melons> Mel nods towards Luna. "This one has an online show. Not particularly magical or mighty in and of itself. However, she has a staggering number of viewers...oh I don't know what you all know of the internet...a big show with a big audience. A deal I worked out between her and Kanaloa was that in exchange for him granting her some occult knowledge, she would incorporate an old folk song of his choosing into the show, to help expan
  269. Aug 16 13:50:08 <Melons> d his power. For you...well now we could take that a step further. Start focusing on Wakino culture, religion, tradition, all that good stuff. Up until now it's been mostly exorcisms and the like, but we could certainly shift focus. This will expand the reach of the religion, which also helps Les- er, Mele's cause."
  270. Aug 16 13:53:13 <Lesieli> "That's right, I'm gonna be working to restore all of us back to our true glory. Thought you'd like to know about it, give you the opportunity to join in if there's anything you want to see happen."
  271. Aug 16 13:54:02 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Very good, I appreciate what you are doing for our pantheon. I simply desire for you to bring showings to holy places, whether here or elsewhere, and get people to see the gods at work."
  272. Aug 16 13:54:55 <Melons> "Oh uh I think we're actually still recording..." She looks back towards Sami to confirm.
  273. Aug 16 13:55:04 <Aori_Radidjiu> Nodnod.
  274. Aug 16 13:55:09 <Melons> "Anything you wanna say?"
  275. Aug 16 13:55:32 <Lesieli> "All part of the plan! Nice to have your blessing, of course~"
  276. Aug 16 13:57:01 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Oh, yes, the recording boxes. Ahem. People of the world, I understand that you all have become more and more secluded, hiding away in your households, and I would appreciate it if you all went outside for once and watched the sunrise or sunset. Thank you."
  277. Aug 16 13:57:08 <Aori_Radidjiu> "...is that good?"
  278. Aug 16 13:57:19 <Melons> Mel looks to Luna.
  279. Aug 16 13:58:06 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Sure!"
  280. Aug 16 13:58:29 <Lesieli> "D'awwww, how sweet and simple. Small words of wisdom for the modern era"
  281. Aug 16 13:58:52 * Mayuri headtilts
  282. Aug 16 13:58:52 <Melons> "As far as a role for me goes...uh...what do you two think?" She's asking Luna and Les.
  283. Aug 16 13:59:36 * Mayuri mentally notes Kaane down as "old man archetype"
  284. Aug 16 13:59:50 * Lesieli would have to resist the urge to pinch his cheek if a wall of flames wasn't in the way
  285. Aug 16 14:00:09 * Lesieli Ok not really, but it's a fun mental image
  286. Aug 16 14:01:43 <Aori_Radidjiu> Luna hmmms. "Well, you came from...cast-off data? And then re-emerged into somethingmore proper? Rebirth, maybe?"
  287. Aug 16 14:03:10 <Melons> "...would thematically fit what we're trying to do here...and...kind of my own life before...all of this shit...mmmm yeah I can see it."
  288. Aug 16 14:04:30 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Would you desire a new name as a god?"
  289. Aug 16 14:04:48 <Lesieli> "God of Rebirth and Second Chances, I guess I could see it. And having someone with that domain would help speed things up I suppose . . ."
  290. Aug 16 14:05:01 <Melons> "...suppose Melanie isn't exactly proper...so yeah I'd kind of need a divine name wouldn't I."
  291. Aug 16 14:07:54 * Mackenzie continues quietly rambling to Ross. "I'm not sure Luna's viewer base is the best group of people to ask to go outside."
  292. Aug 16 14:08:38 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Then as sovereign of the pantheon, I dub you 'Ululane', heavenly inspiration, for your effort to reinvigorate the pantheon."
  293. Aug 16 14:09:14 <Melons> "Neat...so then as far as tribute goes...anything in particular you desire more than the revival? Something I can offer you now?"
  294. Aug 16 14:09:25 <Melons> "Well not more than...outside of the revival I guess..."
  295. Aug 16 14:10:06 <Lesieli> "Hmm, not bad, not bad at all" Better than my suggestion would have been~
  296. Aug 16 14:12:07 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Bear fruit. Whether as Pokemon or a human, procreate and create a new generation."
  297. Aug 16 14:12:45 * Lesieli blinks
  298. Aug 16 14:12:52 <Melons> "Ah...uh...can't exactly do that now...takes...time...to do that...probably at least as long as a revival..."
  299. Aug 16 14:13:45 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I'm sure you can lay eggs rather quickly if you don't do it as a human, but that's your perogative. For now, I believe it is time for me to bid farewell, is it not?"
  300. Aug 16 14:14:34 <Melons> E-E-Eggs? Melanie works to keep disgust from passing her face. "...I...suppose."
  301. Aug 16 14:15:46 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Good bye, then." The flames around him die out, and Knox's body slumps over and collapses
  302. Aug 16 14:16:26 <Lesieli> "See ya around I suppose" And that's that. Meeting gods ain't so bad, we should do it more often
  303. Aug 16 14:16:36 <Melons> Melanie eeps and quickly goes to Knox's side to save the mask, she put so much time and effort into it!
  304. Aug 16 14:17:42 <Aori_Radidjiu> "He was much easier to deal with than Kanaloa, I'd say..."
  305. Aug 16 14:18:57 <Melons> "...not as fun though...and fewer presents." Melanie looks like a kid that was snubbed on Christmas.
  306. Aug 16 14:19:39 <Aori_Radidjiu> "You got a name! I'd figure that's pretty good!" Luna grins.
  307. Aug 16 14:20:32 <Knox> Wakey time?
  308. Aug 16 14:20:34 <Mackenzie> "He did pretty much just say 'thanks for all the tribute and stuff' and then request that she get fucked."
  309. Aug 16 14:21:05 * Mayuri seems to be giggling a lot
  310. Aug 16 14:21:08 <Melons> "And...not even just the normal kind of getting fucked..." Disgust all over her face.
  311. Aug 16 14:22:38 <Melons> "Alright...so...guess...we don't have much else to do in this town?"
  312. Aug 16 14:23:34 <Mackenzie> "Well hey, you have a pretty good relationship with your pokemon, right?"
  313. Aug 16 14:24:08 * Mackenzie has the most cruelly snide snirk ever.
  314. Aug 16 14:24:35 <Mackenzie> *smirk
  315. Aug 16 14:24:42 * Mayuri walks up holding a Mawile (presumably still latched onto her hand?) in her arms.
  316. Aug 16 14:24:45 <Melons> 1d20 AC4 Struggle punch Mack in the head
  317. Aug 16 14:24:47 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, AC4 Struggle punch Mack in the head: 3 [1d20=3]
  318. Aug 16 14:25:05 <Aori_Radidjiu> Melanie, despite him giving you nothing, just by having a name you feel more...defined. Maybe even a little more powerful.
  319. Aug 16 14:25:31 * Melons chooses to waste this gift on senseless physical violence...and still fails at that
  320. Aug 16 14:25:47 <Aori_Radidjiu> Knox wakes up.
  321. Aug 16 14:26:01 <Mackenzie> "Oh dear, I've apparently awakened her blind fury!"
  322. Aug 16 14:26:02 <Lesieli> "At least we know we're on the right track~"
  323. Aug 16 14:26:02 <Mayuri> "Hmm.... isn't that Meloetta of yours Elieen, Mack?"
  324. Aug 16 14:26:17 * Knox comes to eventually, groaning and scratching his head.
  325. Aug 16 14:26:43 <Knox> "...wait, is it over? Shit, I guess you just fall asleep during it."
  326. Aug 16 14:26:57 <Mackenzie> "She sure is! Turns out my greatest fan is much more legendary than I am!"
  327. Aug 16 14:27:10 * Mayuri giggles
  328. Aug 16 14:27:16 <Mayuri> "No wonder why you're suggesting that to Mel, hun~"
  329. Aug 16 14:27:18 <Melons> Mel is preparing another one before noticing Mayuri...seems to have a point. "...w-well i-it's not like you get along any worse with y-yours!...and isn't that slavery?"
  330. Aug 16 14:29:04 <Mackenzie> "Well I may have thought about it before she revealed she was a pokemon, but that is not among my kinks."
  331. Aug 16 14:29:31 <Mackenzie> "What Melons does with her bonesnake behind closed doors is her business, though."
  332. Aug 16 14:30:02 <Melons> "QUIT FUCKING CALLING ME THAT!"
  333. Aug 16 14:30:25 <Aori_Radidjiu> Eileen is pretending to ignore this conversation, sitting by the edge of the volcano and watching the sunset~
  334. Aug 16 14:30:32 <Knox> "The fuck are you people talking about." he groans and pulls himself up, dusting off the kimono.
  335. Aug 16 14:30:37 <Melons> What, how is it already sunset?
  336. Aug 16 14:30:41 <Knox> "What did I miss?"
  337. Aug 16 14:31:34 <Mackenzie> "What, was that like, your high school insult name or something?"
  338. Aug 16 14:31:45 * Lesieli just mutters to herself watching the show? "Aww, poor Eileen"
  339. Aug 16 14:32:00 <Melons> "YES!"
  340. Aug 16 14:32:18 <Mackenzie> ... "Oh. Well fine then."
  341. Aug 16 14:33:23 <Aori_Radidjiu> *sunrise, yeah
  342. Aug 16 14:33:33 <Melons> With a huff, Mel turns to Mitsuko, still yelltalking. "Can you help me with some combat maneuvers? I want to be able to destroy things with the full weight of these bones." She might be a little mad.
  343. Aug 16 14:33:47 * Knox takes off the kimono and tosses it at Mel. "Anyone answering me or not?"
  344. Aug 16 14:35:02 <Mayuri> "Uhm... basically Mel is now... uhm....Ululala or something, and Kaane acknowledges her."
  345. Aug 16 14:35:39 <Melons> Mel continues to seethe under the kimono.
  346. Aug 16 14:36:22 <Lesieli> "We met Kaane, as expected. He approved of our plans, and told everyone on the internet to get out more. That's . . . about it I suppose"
  347. Aug 16 14:37:11 <Mayuri> "Oh, and she wants Mel to have babies."
  348. Aug 16 14:37:13 <Mayuri> he*
  349. Aug 16 14:38:37 * Mackenzie goes over to Veronica, motioning for Ross to follow, and scratches behind her ears for her attention. "Cmon, Eileen's all lonely over there. You both have attachment to the sun, right? Let's go enjoy the sunrise as a team."
  350. Aug 16 14:39:24 <Knox> "Sounds kind of boring, but I don't know what I expected, really. I'm actually more surprised it -worked-."
  351. Aug 16 14:39:29 <Lesieli> "More like he wants everyone to make more babies, but yeah"
  352. Aug 16 14:39:59 <Melons> Melanie finally tosses the kimono at Shyla. "Of COURSE it worked!"
  353. Aug 16 14:40:09 <Knox> "Probably part of why this place is such a damn good place for Breeders."
  354. Aug 16 14:40:20 <Aori_Radidjiu> Shyla catches it. "You sure you don't want to put something on?"
  355. Aug 16 14:40:39 <Melons> 3d6+4 Intimidate her apprentice.
  356. Aug 16 14:40:40 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Intimidate her apprentice.: 14 [3d6=2,2,6]
  357. Aug 16 14:40:45 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mitsuko opens her mouth to say something, but then closes it. Maybe when Mel's yelling less.
  358. Aug 16 14:40:59 <Melons> Mel glaaaaares.
  359. Aug 16 14:41:35 <Aori_Radidjiu> 6d6+3 Focus
  360. Aug 16 14:41:36 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, Focus: 26 [6d6=3,3,6,6,1,4]
  361. Aug 16 14:41:47 <Knox> "But a name, huh. That's a step forward."
  362. Aug 16 14:41:49 <Aori_Radidjiu> She rolls her eyes.
  363. Aug 16 14:42:12 <Lesieli> "Nnnot sure why she's so upset, I thought everything went well. Ah well, what's our next plans?"
  364. Aug 16 14:42:17 <Mayuri> "Sounds like a magical girl show~"
  365. Aug 16 14:42:25 <Mayuri> "Giving a name and all that."
  366. Aug 16 14:42:36 <Melons> 4d6+4 Mel actually does her own focus to caaaaaaalm dooooooown
  367. Aug 16 14:42:37 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Mel actually does her own focus to caaaaaaalm dooooooown: 16 [4d6=1,4,5,2]
  368. Aug 16 14:43:00 <Melons> "...Conch or Hermit."
  369. Aug 16 14:43:26 <Knox> "Hermit first."
  370. Aug 16 14:44:55 <Melons> "Alright...any objections?"
  371. Aug 16 14:45:01 * Mayuri shrugs
  372. Aug 16 14:46:18 * Mackenzie isn't paying attention any longer~ More interested in hanging with his mons.
  373. Aug 16 14:46:27 <Lesieli> "Oh yay, home again already"
  374. Aug 16 14:46:38 <Melons> "...then we'll leave at...noon, I guess. I want some more time with the family if that's alright..."
  375. Aug 16 14:46:49 * Mayuri is going to have a nice long play session with Aimi when she gets back on the ship.
  376. Aug 16 14:47:00 <Mayuri> "... wait, both of you come from Hermit Town?"
  377. Aug 16 14:47:26 <Knox> "I've got... old friends to meet."
  378. Aug 16 14:47:45 <Knox> Knox frowns a moment.
  379. Aug 16 14:48:02 <Lesieli> "Uh, yeah? Haven't you ever heard of my parents?"
  380. Aug 16 14:48:58 <Knox> "..something's different."
  381. Aug 16 14:49:27 * Melons makes sure to to harvest some volcanic soil for later use.
  382. Aug 16 14:49:29 * Knox pulls off his fiery headband a moment and looks around. He's still pretty much standing in the circle, even though the fire's died down.
  383. Aug 16 14:49:51 <Knox> But after a moment he launches fire from his fingertips, reigniting the ring with a Fire Spin.
  384. Aug 16 14:50:04 <Knox> "...The hell?"
  385. Aug 16 14:50:19 <Mayuri> "Maybe~ Who are they?"
  386. Aug 16 14:51:28 <Knox> He suppresses the Fire Spin a moment later, staring at his hand. "...huh. Guess Kaane left a little something behind."
  387. Aug 16 14:52:03 * Mayuri checks if the Mawile has let go yet!
  388. Aug 16 14:52:06 <Lesieli> "Keli'i? Big shots at the university, the PC network wouldn't work in most of Wakino if it weren't for their work"
  389. Aug 16 14:52:42 <Aori_Radidjiu> It has. It's sitting docilely in your lap if you're sitting, otherwise it's by your leg.
  390. Aug 16 14:52:47 <Mayuri> 3d6+3 I know these people, right? right?
  391. Aug 16 14:52:48 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, I know these people, right? right?: 13 [3d6=1,3,6]
  392. Aug 16 14:55:15 <Aori_Radidjiu> Keli'i? Yeah, your parents have talked about them a bit.
  393. Aug 16 14:56:00 <Mayuri> "Hun~ I guess our parents might know each other then..."
  394. Aug 16 14:56:45 <Knox> "We never really used Wakino's own network ourselves." he mentions.
  395. Aug 16 14:57:03 <Aori_Radidjiu> And you might've met them if you went along with your parents to the library, sometimes.
  396. Aug 16 14:57:41 * Mayuri probably did! And promptly paid more attention to books on decidably unscientific subjects.
  397. Aug 16 14:57:52 <Lesieli> "Not just the public network, they made the tech that makes all the networks possible out here. Or something like that. I dunno, I'm not an expert like them."
  398. Aug 16 14:59:20 <Mayuri> "My parents study Pokemon evolution or something~ I think they'd be disappointed in me about that."
  399. Aug 16 15:00:14 <Melons> Mel steps up behind Knox. "Hey...uh...nice job."
  400. Aug 16 15:00:33 <Lesieli> "Huh. Yeah, they probably work up at the school then too"
  401. Aug 16 15:01:54 * Knox glances behind himself at Melanie. "Thanks...?" He's not entirely used to Melanie complimenting people. "Not that I did much besides win a fight and then get put to sleep. Your cousin is pretty damn strong, though. Reminds me a lot of someone I knew."
  402. Aug 16 15:03:35 <Melons> "I didn't...actually think you'd be compatible...I mean, by your own admission you're kind of an asshole...but it apparently worked...which...means...you know..." Although she's working especially hard to avoid blushing since Mitsuko is in the area and they have a PACT, she still can't bring herself to look him in the eye. "...I'm okay with you and Auriga...by the way..."
  403. Aug 16 15:05:57 <Mayuri> "Maybe~ Mom studies... something weird I don't understand, and Dad studies those weird rocks from Kalos."
  404. Aug 16 15:10:24 <Knox> "...good. I believed you before but the way it came out was probably pretty shitty to deal with on top of everything else." He reaches over and puts a hand on her shoulder. "I -am- an asshole, but I still give a damn about people worth giving a damn about. So it's good to hear that. You and her still okay?" He asks that then pauses for a second to continue on. "...And yeah, that's what
  405. Aug 16 15:10:24 <Knox> I was saying. I didn't think I -was- compatible. Guess Kaane saw something in me, fuck if I know what. Or maybe your ritual was just that damn good."
  406. Aug 16 15:11:05 <Knox> He takes his hand off her shoulder too, remembering how she gets about TOUCHING despite her weird proximity sometimes.
  407. Aug 16 15:11:33 <Mayuri> 5d6+3 How surprising is it /really/ that the ritual worked?
  408. Aug 16 15:11:35 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, How surprising is it /really/ that the ritual worked?: 18 [5d6=1,1,5,5,3]
  409. Aug 16 15:13:04 <Melons> She only cringed a little bit as he made contact, actually! "...it was that damn good, but if you weren't suitable, it wouldn't have worked. Actually, from what he said about Mitsuko...I don't think it would have worked as we wanted...since she apparently is compatible with Pele to a considerable extent. Guess I wouldn't wanna piss her off...I uh...I haven't talked to her...since...we...it was awkward...it's still going to be
  410. Aug 16 15:13:04 <Melons> awkward...but I'll try to get over myself..."
  411. Aug 16 15:13:13 <Aori_Radidjiu> Not all that surprising, Melanie stacked the odds really well, especially with hatching 4 EGGS in the vicinity fo the ritual
  412. Aug 16 15:15:56 <Knox> "Fair enough. .." he sort of flounders awkwardly. "..." he changes the subject back to Mitsuko. "So, Pele, huh?"
  413. Aug 16 15:17:25 <Knox> 4d6+0 can Knox recall anything about Pele offhand? Probably not much, he admitted he only really knows about the major gods.
  414. Aug 16 15:17:26 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, can Knox recall anything about Pele offhand? Probably not much, he admitted he only really knows about the major gods.: 11 [4d6=3,1,3,4]
  415. Aug 16 15:17:53 <Aori_Radidjiu> Pele's actually the most famous Goddess in the pantheon, in the modern day. You know she has something to do with volcanoes
  416. Aug 16 15:18:14 <Mayuri> 5d6+3 Come on, let the proper occultists do it.
  417. Aug 16 15:18:15 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, Come on, let the proper occultists do it.: 22 [5d6=2,5,5,3,4]
  418. Aug 16 15:18:29 <Melons> 6d6+4 Inb4 hex 1's
  419. Aug 16 15:18:30 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Inb4 hex 1's: 19 [6d6=2,2,3,4,1,3]
  420. Aug 16 15:19:08 <Knox> "Guess your cousin's temperment just happens to match the volcano goddess's well. Kind of fitting given who her dad is, I guess."
  421. Aug 16 15:19:32 <Melons> "...he's not actually her biological father..."
  422. Aug 16 15:19:43 <Aori_Radidjiu> Melanie remembers she's the goddess of volcanoes, fire, and thunder. Scary. Mayuri additionally remembers that Pele is really capricious and fickle, and has a bit of a short temper.
  423. Aug 16 15:19:54 * Knox shrugs.
  424. Aug 16 15:20:01 <Melons> To continue to make it more awkward, Mel shifts the coverage of her bone parts to be a bit more modest.
  425. Aug 16 15:21:14 <Mayuri> ".... uhm.... we don't plan on summoning Pele, right?"
  426. Aug 16 15:22:18 <Knox> "To be honest, I never had a thing for biological ties anyway. The shitstain that's my biological father was never my 'dad' to me. But I don't feel like talking about that."
  427. Aug 16 15:23:07 <Knox> "If she considers Mark her dad, then he's her dad."
  428. Aug 16 15:23:35 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mitsuko nods. "That's right!"
  429. Aug 16 15:23:57 <Melons> "Yeah I wasn't...disputing that....it was just...his temperament doesn't really explain hers....so...I'll...shut up now..."
  430. Aug 16 15:24:16 <Aori_Radidjiu> "What a goof."
  431. Aug 16 15:24:21 * Knox waves his hand. "I get you, I get you."
  432. Aug 16 15:24:22 <Mayuri> "It totally does if they've been around each other for a long time, you know~"
  433. Aug 16 15:25:44 <Knox> To answer Mayuri, he says, "Anyway, let's not summon Pele. We've already used up a hell of a lot of symbolism for today I think. And besides, I'm still feeling Mitsuko's punches. Shit."
  434. Aug 16 15:26:03 <Melons> "...I was gonna go probably train with Mitsuko for a bit before we leave...if...if you wanted to join, Nick." The word feels awkward on her tongue. "...was that weird, should I still say 'Knox?'"
  435. Aug 16 15:26:20 <Mayuri> "Let's not summon Pele ever."
  436. Aug 16 15:26:33 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mitsuko cracks her knuckles.
  437. Aug 16 15:26:59 <Mayuri> "... well, not ever, but... if we had something to offer her."
  438. Aug 16 15:27:31 <Melons> Mel holds up some of the volcanic soil. "I'm going to offer Aether to her, when the moment is right."
  439. Aug 16 15:27:39 <Lesieli> "Well, we probably should sometime, but yeah, save Pele for later"
  440. Aug 16 15:27:46 <Knox> "Whatever suits you better." he says to Mel. "I prefer Knox a little bit, but either way."
  441. Aug 16 15:28:18 <Knox> "It wasn't weird." he clarifies.
  442. Aug 16 15:28:33 <Mayuri> "I thought Nick was more like a contest name."
  443. Aug 16 15:28:38 <Mayuri> "Like that one time you almost won~"
  444. Aug 16 15:28:45 <Knox> "Shut up."
  445. Aug 16 15:30:07 <Knox> "Nicholas is my real name. Nicholas, Nick, Knox, the only real value for a name - at least as far as mortals go - is the meaning others put into it."
  446. Aug 16 15:31:00 <Mayuri> 5d6+3 Really? No true name magic or anything?
  447. Aug 16 15:31:00 <Melons> "I dunno, it'd be really hard to get someone's attention if they didn't have a name...especially in a crowd..."
  448. Aug 16 15:31:00 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, Really? No true name magic or anything?: 21 [5d6=3,3,4,6,2]
  449. Aug 16 15:31:12 * Mayuri shrugs
  450. Aug 16 15:31:21 <Mayuri> "Nobody's ever really called me anything different, so."
  451. Aug 16 15:31:43 <Aori_Radidjiu> For gods and higher beings, yes, but for mortals? Not really.
  452. Aug 16 15:32:07 <Melons> "Mayo."
  453. Aug 16 15:32:15 * Mayuri (mayu@sux-DCC9351A.lightspeed.rcsntx.sbcglobal.net) has left (Hug~♪)
  454. Aug 16 15:32:19 * Mayuri (mayu@sux-DCC9351A.lightspeed.rcsntx.sbcglobal.net) has joined
  455. Aug 16 15:32:24 <Mayuri> "... I don't go on sandwiches..."
  456. Aug 16 15:32:30 <Knox> "That's debtable."
  457. Aug 16 15:32:32 <Melons> "You're Mayo now."
  458. Aug 16 15:32:49 * Knox flashes his teeth intimidatingly.
  459. Aug 16 15:32:52 <Knox> 6d6+5
  460. Aug 16 15:32:53 <DiceMaid-9001> Knox, 6d6+5: 21 [6d6=4,1,3,5,2,1]
  461. Aug 16 15:33:43 * Mayuri tilts her head back a little and goes o.o
  462. Aug 16 15:33:59 <Knox> "Anyway long story short, Mel, just call me what feels more meaningful to you."
  463. Aug 16 15:34:07 <Melons> "Asshole it is!"
  464. Aug 16 15:34:13 <Knox> "Just don't come up with some chickenshit goofy name or-"
  465. Aug 16 15:34:17 * Knox gives her a look.
  466. Aug 16 15:34:22 <Melons> Grin.
  467. Aug 16 15:34:25 * Lesieli protectively glomps Mayo "Back off, she's mine"
  468. Aug 16 15:35:07 <Melons> "Oh, that reminds me...hey, Shyla!"
  469. Aug 16 15:35:11 * Knox snrks.
  470. Aug 16 15:35:39 <Aori_Radidjiu> Shyla quits making eyes at Pierce and turns around. "Yes?"
  471. Aug 16 15:36:00 <Melons> "Do you have any actual interest in any of this godly/occult stuff?"
  472. Aug 16 15:36:05 * Mayuri is hugged onto by a Lesieli! Suddenly looks all confused.
  473. Aug 16 15:36:11 <Aori_Radidjiu> "A little."
  474. Aug 16 15:36:24 <Melons> "You don't have to lie by the way."
  475. Aug 16 15:36:34 <Aori_Radidjiu> "...a lot."
  476. Aug 16 15:36:56 <Melons> "What, no, I said you don't have to lie, I was going to let you go if you didn't care."
  477. Aug 16 15:37:45 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Well whatever, if you're gonna' be that way..." She walks off with Pierce.
  478. Aug 16 15:37:55 <Melons> "W-Wait, I was trying to be nice!"
  479. Aug 16 15:38:17 <Mayuri> "D-Don't you have your sheep?"
  480. Aug 16 15:38:43 <Knox> "Seriously?" he says, watching Shyla's reaction to that.
  481. Aug 16 15:39:25 <Lesieli> ". . . and?"
  482. Aug 16 15:39:41 <Melons> "To be fair...she did see me thinking about removing her eyes...and then I kind of claimed her as a servant...so not trusting me does make sense...oh, that also reminds me...Luna, I'm freeing you of your burden too."
  483. Aug 16 15:40:52 <Aori_Radidjiu> Luna tilts her head. "What burden?"
  484. Aug 16 15:40:55 <Knox> "...We probably shouldn't just let them go, though."
  485. Aug 16 15:41:46 <Melons> "If they're not on the ship when we leave, we don't need them...also they won't be particularly safe. If they are on the ship, we can trust them. And don't play dumb Luna, our agreement we made after you...er...you know."
  486. Aug 16 15:42:13 <Knox> "...oh, right, I forgot to answer your question."
  487. Aug 16 15:42:17 <Knox> "I'm down with training."
  488. Aug 16 15:42:46 * Mayuri now has a Lesieli Mawiling on her ;-;
  489. Aug 16 15:42:57 <Aori_Radidjiu> "How's that a burden?"
  490. Aug 16 15:43:36 <Melons> "Okay, fine, whatever, our verbal contract or whatever, the shit I'm making you do is over, finito, etc. You can do whoe- whatever you want."
  491. Aug 16 15:43:42 <Lesieli> Exactly, how's that a burden?
  492. Aug 16 15:44:00 * Mackenzie addresses Eileen. "So what's got someone important and influential like you interested in a fool like me, anyway?"
  493. Aug 16 15:44:18 <Mayuri> 5d6+5 How screwed is Melons right now?
  494. Aug 16 15:44:19 <DiceMaid-9001> Mayuri, How screwed is Melons right now?: 26 [5d6=5,5,1,4,6]
  495. Aug 16 15:44:24 <Melons> Lewd
  496. Aug 16 15:44:30 * Knox isn't sure he should be privy to this conversation but Mel doesn't seem to care.
  497. Aug 16 15:44:42 <Aori_Radidjiu> She wraps her arms around you from behind and brings her mouth up to your ear, and says quietly,b utnot whispering. "Then I'll continue doing the same thing."
  498. Aug 16 15:46:31 * Mayuri blinks and stares for a few moments
  499. Aug 16 15:46:47 <Melons> Mel reacts pretty much the same way as Mayo.
  500. Aug 16 15:46:51 <Mayuri> ".... .... Well, I have a Pokemon I gotta get to know~ Let's go, Aimi... and Mele."
  501. Aug 16 15:48:04 <Aori_Radidjiu> Luna grins.
  502. Aug 16 15:48:29 <Melons> 1d6-2 I'm good at understanding true intentions
  503. Aug 16 15:48:31 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, I'm good at understanding true intentions: 2 [1d6=4]
  504. Aug 16 15:48:37 <Melons> Scowl. "Don't fuck with me!"
  505. Aug 16 15:49:09 <Aori_Radidjiu> "What, you said just yesterday I was gonna' fuck with you tonight, remember~?"
  506. Aug 16 15:50:04 <Melons> "Th-that's not funny either, I mean...y-you ARE just joking right?...a-also the agreement was that you got to decide what to do...not...necessarily...anything in particular..."
  507. Aug 16 15:50:49 <Aori_Radidjiu> Sigmund makes a gagging motion and drags Sami (who was on the edge of her seat) and Ree (who was starting to quirk eyebrows) off to the ship.
  508. Aug 16 15:50:51 * Mayuri proceeds to make her way back to the ship, dragging Lesieli if she hsa to
  509. Aug 16 15:54:22 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I'll see you later, love~" She lets go of you, Mel, and walks off, skipping a little.
  510. Aug 16 15:55:05 <Melons> "W-What...the hell...just happened...I...whatever...let's just...go hit things..."
  511. Aug 16 15:55:13 <Knox> "...Sounds good to me."
  512. Aug 16 16:00:08 <Aori_Radidjiu> I believe that's where I can call </session>
