Nagisa Quest Seventh Scene

18:41:12: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> "Last night a control rod was stolen from one of my nuclear power plants." You looked up at your secretary. She held a report to you, silent indignation written all over her face. Red glasses, black hairband, very long black hair. She had an elegant aura to her and you really, REALLY liked her. You... didn't take the report. "Which nuclear power plant?"
18:42:44: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> [I JUST WOKE UP AND I STILL TYPO FFFF]
18:43:20: <SanguisMajima> well yeah you just woke up
18:43:33: <Mai_Ikari> That'll teach you to wake up.
18:44:42: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> "Nuclear power plant #6, the one with the parks surrounding it." Ooh yes, that one! Those parks were popular with the citizens of Black City. You really should build more parks around it. "So what? Can't it function without a control rod?" "FOOL, It's melting down as we speak!" "Don't they always melt down? Fires on their grey structures strike me as very
18:46:21: <SanguisMajima> Was that my "sweet fuu has nice abs" or my "mami needs to do something with her goddamn hair" nuclear plant? I can never remember the numbers
18:47:08: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> fetching." You went back to your magical girl literature. It was really nice. The little girl was about to seal a kitty that has despair infesting its intestines. You always wanted to write some someday, but honestly you still needed a lot more research to be done. Your secretary took the book from your hands and slid the report in its place.
18:49:00: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> "Read you filthy, despicable cretin. How you became mayor is a mystery, how you stay in power is something entirely else, and how I stay in your service is something I'll never know!" She really liked you. You sighed, blessed to have such a worthy secretary by your side.
18:49:00: <SanguisMajima> no wonder coobie was such a dick, he was constipated
18:49:26: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> How do you read the report?
18:49:57: <SanguisMajima> seriously but quickly, most of these reports are the same thing so skip to the important parts that actually tell is what is going on
18:50:21: <Israelhexen> Casually. Comment on her handwriting, unless it's a printout, in which case, comment on the choice of font.
18:50:46: <Israelhexen> :V
18:50:48: <Mai_Ikari> Upside down while hanging from the rod we had installed for just such a purpose. It helps our thinking.
18:51:11: <Israelhexen> Hmm
18:51:17: <Israelhexen> Mine + Mai's, noncontradictory.
18:51:21: <Israelhexen> Ultracasual.
18:51:49: <Nama-D> Hexen and Mai.
18:52:21: <Hat-chan> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyoNnMO3zFk
18:53:04: <Israelhexen> <3
18:53:04: <Israelhexen> oh hey erock
18:55:55: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> This report printout was beautiful. Her handwriting was precise, crisp and flawless graphite lines of love making. They read "READ THIS" "MAKE SURE YOU REMEMBER THIS" "STOP LOOKING AT MY HAIR AND READ THIS PARAGRAPH" while circling the various important paragraphs. She really helped you. You relaxed in your mayor chair, legs going over the arm rest while your
18:57:13: <Israelhexen> Goodnightguis!
18:57:30: <Nama-D> Nigh Sang.
18:57:37: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> head rested on another. You then had it go over the side, turning the office upside down, and then started reading it. "You have nice handwriting." "SHUTUP AND READ." You casually read the report, skipping what parts were dry or boring.
18:59:22: <Nama-D> Every figurehead ever must be spinning in their grave due to this guys existence.
19:01:41: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> Basically what happened was a control rod was stolen from Nuclear Power Plant #6. It didn't simply disappear, it was obviously taken. Something had punched and twisted the walls out, making enough space for a person to walk through. The workers are at a loss as to what THAT was but none were injured. They did find something very interesting INSIDE the core.
19:03:59: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> A wooden staff, something you would see in a fantasy book. It was lying right next to the space where the missing control rod fit. You stopped reading there once the report started making suggestions, with lots of notes from your secretary to read that part, on evacuation methods for the city.
19:06:44: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> You sat up in your chair and patted your lap. "Sit on my lap." "What about the city?" "The power plants always are on fire. The workers have managed so far to keep us from melting down. They are skilled and can do so with one less rod to work with." She sighed and shook her head, crossing her arms. She stood there, feet from you, not looking at you.
19:09:23: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> You sat there, waiting for her to come slinking to you like a cat. A sexy nekomimi, if your fetishes had ever failed you. Meanwhile, a power plant is losing integrity, threatening to make Black City another Chernobyl. You could wait forever. She was definitely worth it...
19:10:23: <Mai_Ikari> noleaving
19:10:37: <Israelhexen> Memory issues, needed to be done
19:15:41: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> LAST TIME On Nagisa Quest, you were scanned for something by Mami and Usagi. Sweet Fuu was there too, very cold to you in your tube. An hour and a half of scanning resulted in a long strip of paper with your vitals printed out in painstaking detail, and a revelation. A red ribbon, very strong and vibrant red, was connected to apparently your chest. Possibly
19:17:33: <Hat-chan> http://images.4chan.org/a/src/1357446594555.jpg
19:17:58: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> to your heart, if you could tell from the digital you. They cut you loose in the compound, but you had to stay in this military prison. You decided breakfast was in order, and went to the cafeteria. There you met Saint Peach Pretty Yui, the golden sniper. After some discussion, you apparently broke the ice and might be making a friend with someone in this
19:20:52: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> place. However, shortly after retelling the tale of slaying Sun Yuri she left, bothered by your mongrelness. Now you stood in the entranceway to the corridor, a screaming girl face eating the world facing you. Glyphs were running along the side of it. You didn't know what they said. What did you do now? Did you follow the blue line, or the orange line? Or...
19:20:56: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> did you follow the red line?
19:22:11: <Mai_Ikari> Orange.
19:22:50: <Israelhexen> [X] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNrjtYd_BsM
19:23:26: <Israelhexen> I can hardly pick another option.
19:24:14: <DoubleDragoon> I can't help but think of the VersaLife foyer in DX.
19:24:26: <DoubleDragoon> With the hand-reaching-for-the-world statue.
19:25:14: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> "Desperate. Your turn. "Desperate." "Desperate."
19:26:58: <Nama-D> Secret line blerd.
19:27:15: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> Orange line, red line. Which other lines should we traverse? Vote!
19:27:16: <Israelhexen> Alternatively, 14|7|14|
19:27:31: <Israelhexen> we Dragon Army now
19:28:39: <Nama-D> I see 14|7|14|, no color.
19:29:14: <DoubleDragoon> Nice, Hex.
19:29:33: <DoubleDragoon> I'll say we follow the blue line.
19:30:08: <Israelhexen> It's grey orange grey, D.
19:30:32: <Israelhexen> So to break the tie I'll join Mai in following the orange line
19:30:40: <DoubleDragoon> Aww.
19:30:46: <DoubleDragoon> But i LIKE blue.
19:30:47: <Israelhexen> DRAGON ARMY
19:30:49: <DoubleDragoon> Heh.
19:31:01: <Nama-D> Switching to blue.
19:31:15: <Nama-D> To be serious on this.
19:31:26: <DoubleDragoon> So now it's 2-all.
19:31:30: <Israelhexen> Okay, fuck the lines, we're going back to the cafeteria for another sandwich
19:31:41: <Israelhexen> These lines are an eyesore
19:31:43: <Israelhexen> I say we cut them
19:32:02: <Israelhexen> cut all the lines
19:32:32: <Nama-D> >cut cafeteria line
19:32:46: <Israelhexen> "Laaaaaadies."
19:32:46: <Nama-D> >kicked out of cafeteria
19:33:06: <Israelhexen> >implying cutting a line is the same as cutting in line
19:33:09: <Israelhexen> OVER THE LINE
19:33:11: <Israelhexen> MARK
19:33:12: <Israelhexen> IT
19:33:13: <Israelhexen> ZERO
19:33:34: <DoubleDragoon> Aaaand CUT.
19:33:46: DoubleDragoon stops cranking the video camera.
19:33:48: <Nama-D> But we cut the line. How did I go over it?
19:34:02: <Israelhexen> We cut the line, now there are two halves of a line.
19:34:04: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> Taking off your nonexistent glasses, you pull a simple wood handle knife out of your bag. Before you all the lines in the world became apparent, the secret world only you knew about. Gripping your knife, you stabbed the orange line, and soon the compound dimmed to blackness. You were successful in ruling the world. Shiki Nagisa!
19:34:05: <Israelhexen> That's how cutting works, D.
19:34:23: <Israelhexen> Wahaha~
19:34:23: <Mai_Ikari> :D
19:34:38: <Israelhexen> Probably the only Good End around :V
19:34:44: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> :v
19:35:24: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> We have... Orange II, Blue II
19:35:40: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> We'll do both.
19:35:52: <Israelhexen> Nagisa pulls Nagisa out of the Bag
19:36:01: <Israelhexen> Suddenly, binary Nagisa production
19:36:04: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> If you want to do that, you can.
19:36:06: <Nama-D> Anyways, how are they oriented in relation to the cafeteria door?
19:36:25: <Israelhexen> The world forgot to turn off its noir and woke up covered in Nagisa
19:36:41: <Israelhexen> Nagisasplosion
19:36:50: <Israelhexen> 1pc, standard issue
19:36:56: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> Both lines go both ways. A simple look and you can't tell what direction belongs to which.
19:37:49: <Israelhexen> Flip a coin. Heads is left.
19:37:51: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> So do you wish to bring another Nagisa to life so both lines can be explored, or wish to be unique?
19:38:06: <Israelhexen> Nagisa should remain a special snowflake for now.
19:38:06: <Nama-D> I thought there were three lines.
19:38:10: <Israelhexen> World isn't big enough for two of us.
19:38:18: <Israelhexen> Yeah, there are three, but the draw is between two of them!
19:38:23: <Israelhexen> I'm the only one that wants to go fast.
19:38:25: <DoubleDragoon> Let's just flip a coin.
19:38:28: <DoubleDragoon> Heads is left.
19:38:34: <Nama-D> Get out drones, explore everything.
19:38:48: <DoubleDragoon> ....Also, I totally did not read Hex suggesting that exact same thing.
19:38:54: <Israelhexen> :V
19:38:57: <Israelhexen> Acquire Funnels, Nagisa is now a gundam
19:39:32: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> COIN FLIPPED, going left.
19:39:54: <Israelhexen> Good, right always leads to potatoes. The bad kind of potatoes.
19:40:25: <Nama-D> BLASPHEMY. POTATOES ARE ONLY GOOD.
19:40:33: <Israelhexen> Except when the potatoes are actually Beholders.
19:40:36: <Israelhexen> And the party is level 5.
19:40:42: <Israelhexen> And they don't have any magic items.
19:40:52: <Israelhexen> And the way out caves in behind them.
19:42:09: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> Some BGM http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrJQw9u4U_w
19:42:20: <Israelhexen> >Denton's face when the most hotly debates choice in the quest so far is RIGHT OR LEFT
19:42:54: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> It trumps whether to wear a face mask or not.
19:42:55: <Israelhexen> To be fair RIGHT OR LEFT is always hard
19:43:01: <Fritzkrieg> SUP
19:43:07: <Israelhexen> Nagisaquest, Fritz, is what's up
19:43:09: <Israelhexen> sup?
19:43:21: <Fritzkrieg> things
19:43:29: <Israelhexen> cool
19:44:18: <Nama-D> Is more because I'm here. I enjoy discussing too much.
19:45:17: <Israelhexen> I like throwing out silly references and off-the-wall nonsense too much, myself
19:45:56: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> Makes it fun for everyone
19:46:30: <Israelhexen> Also, one thing I have to point out from earlier
19:46:50: <Israelhexen> >another Chernobyl
19:46:53: <Israelhexen> >not Pripyat
19:47:01: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> >STOP CORRECTING ME ;_;
19:47:02: <Israelhexen> I am disappoooooooint (not really)
19:47:18: <Israelhexen> Honestly the mayor probably wouldn't know the difference
19:47:22: <Israelhexen> heh
19:47:52: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> You decided to turn left. Explore that direction. Both orange and blue lines lead you through the various corridors with various rooms that held various unknown things in them. Your hosts weren't really good about making you feel at home, you found out.
19:47:56: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> The lines lead you to a room with a reinforced blast door. Red lettering on the door informed you that this door was the Command Center. Two lightbulbs behind cages flanked the door.
19:48:01: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> The command center. Usagi told you this room had the most shielding in the entire compound. Do you dare enter this scientific realm?
19:48:44: <Israelhexen> Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep.
19:48:53: <Israelhexen> >exploring until the door then turning away
19:48:57: <Israelhexen> Shit Nagisa do you even.
19:49:26: <Israelhexen> (inb4 it is full of tentacles. Science tentacles.)
19:49:30: <Nama-D> Due to stubbornness, I once stalled whether or not to release a powerful being of ambiguous alignment from its prison by an hour. Not my most prideful achievement.
19:49:40: <DoubleDragoon> We've been told explicitly that it's a good idea to stick around this area, and it's a place we haven't yet explorated.
19:49:47: <DoubleDragoon> YES, we're going in.
19:49:49: <Israelhexen> ^
19:50:15: <Israelhexen> must have 100% minimap
19:50:24: <Nama-D> Stride the fuck in. No acting like you think you shouldn't be there.
19:50:47: <Israelhexen> Moonwalk in there. Casually. As if that's something you always do.
19:51:12: <DoubleDragoon> Hey, Nagisa's bored. Moonwalking is perfectly explainable.
19:51:28: <Israelhexen> Moonwalking is never not a good choice.
19:51:47: <Israelhexen> Unless you can't moonwalk.
19:51:55: DoubleDragoon raises his hand.
19:52:03: DoubleDragoon stands up.
19:52:04: <Israelhexen> I personally have never been able to figure it out
19:52:16: <Israelhexen> think I'd begun getting the hang of it but I didn't have anywhere to practice
19:52:17: <DoubleDragoon> "Hi, everyone. My name is Dragoon, and I cannot moonwalk."
19:52:37: <Israelhexen> and the only way to moonwalk where someone might see you is successfully
19:52:40: <Nama-D> Does Mami know of our bag?
19:52:56: <Israelhexen> unsuccessful moonwalking is the worst. It's more embarassing than being Star Wars Kid
19:53:18: <DoubleDragoon> Depends.
19:53:21: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> You strode in with nary a care in the world. The world was yours, it just didn't know it yet. That included this pitiful compound with its quaint command center and it's cozy outdated but highly advanced with the aid of magic computers twinkling in the lack of light exposure room. Scientists worked solemnly at the monitors, their faces washed in the colors
19:53:29: <Israelhexen> On whether anyone sees, yeah
19:53:32: <DoubleDragoon> Also, part of my problem is that I wear boots.
19:53:36: <Israelhexen> it's never shameful to fail while practicing
19:54:30: <Israelhexen> I favor sandals for most of the year, though when I had room to practice I did it barefoot
19:54:55: <Israelhexen> Source X-strap <3
19:56:03: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> of digital gerbils. Information you didn't recognize streamed along the screens. The room had dips and rises, all holding something technological. It was quiet like a library, but had the clicking of many keyboards, and your eyes shone from the tiny lights on the databanks. So this was the room with the most shielding. You could easily tell why it did.
19:57:44: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> If a bomb went off in here, this cadre of magical girls would be crippled. Sure they had magic but something in your gut told you that this was their last stand, figuratively speaking. A do or die mission, only a foot step away from bust. No one has noticed you yet. What do you do?
19:58:18: <Israelhexen> Snoop.
19:58:30: <DoubleDragoon> Stand quietly and try to decipher the information on one or more monitors.
20:00:01: <Nama-D> I just realized. In theory, we could pull out a dark haired, cynical and jaded magical who smokes and drinks too much. But that would be boring past a one off joke.
20:00:25: <Israelhexen> No, no it wouldn't. But it's something we're saving til the timing is perfect.
20:00:35: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> {You can do virtually anything}
20:01:16: <Israelhexen> We could also pull out a black-eyed, red-pupiled dark-haired goddess with fleshmetal knife-limbs and a magnificently long tongue, should we feel like it. But this world isn't ready for that, either.
20:01:35: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> WELL THERE GOES MY NOTES
20:01:45: Midorikawa_Nagisa crumples them and tosses them into a trashbin.
20:01:53: DoubleDragoon is now reminded of BattleZone and Bio-metal.
20:01:55: <Mai_Ikari> Pick a monitor away from everybody else, stare at it like you know what you're doing, see if you figure something out.
20:02:32: <Israelhexen> We could pull out 1,1a bigger Bag
20:02:34: <Nama-D> Also a pink haired, black eyed goddess.
20:03:23: <Israelhexen> We should pull out Kharn and Kharn. The one from MGNQ and the one from 40K.
20:05:34: <Israelhexen> Double-Ds.
20:05:39: Israelhexen fondles
20:06:24: <DoubleDragoon> ...that's technically double double-Ds.
20:06:37: <DoubleDragoon> Because there's two Ds and my name is two Dx.
20:06:41: <DoubleDragoon> Ds, even.
20:06:42: Israelhexen rubs D and Dragoon together
20:06:56: <Israelhexen> Tribology!
20:07:23: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> Many scientists worked at the stations, but which one would prove most useful? You snooped around, quietly of course, making sure to not disturb their work. You didn't know whether you had clearance to be in here, but since Usagi said so, you might as well have it. You peered over one scientist's shoulder to peer at her screen.
20:09:34: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> It was an inventory on the compound's stocks. Lots of food stocked and on delivery, something which you suspected Yui having a hand in depleting. Some autocannon ammunition, possibly for the have-yet-to-be-seen autocannons hiding in the walls, floor, and ceiling. Metals of all sorts, and even something called "Deflectors." Which a massive number had recently
20:11:00: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> been ordered. As early as a few hours ago, even. Lots of mundane things scrolled by, things like pillows, blankets, beds, desks, lamps, lightbulbs, bandaids, medical supplies, and TVs. Moving on, you spotted another filled seat, and peered over her shoulder.
20:12:30: <Israelhexen> The reason Malal isn't around in MGNQ is Nagisa pulled her out of the Bag.
20:12:32: <Israelhexen> Discuss.
20:13:00: <DoubleDragoon> Plausible but unlikely.
20:13:15: <Nama-D> Bag creates, not takes.
20:13:24: <Israelhexen> That, sir, is not the spirit of speculah
20:13:37: <Israelhexen> Also D, pretty sure that was never confirmed
20:13:53: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> She was working on the energy distribution, cutting back every other department as far as she could and transferring the surplus to a generator called "Auxiliary Backup." Boring but slightly interesting. You found yourself a seat, empty, and decided to take it for yourself. The monitor awaited your command, running in DOS. What do you command?
20:14:38: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> Also, Israelhexen, Nagisa becomes the biggest crossover point in fanfiction. One day I spit my soda out when I see Nagisa became the BBEG in TG Meta Quest.
20:14:52: <Nama-D> Would you like to test that by pulling ourself through the bag?
20:15:02: <Hat-chan> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jRHJntLYMh0
20:15:17: <Israelhexen> Parallel timelines, D
20:15:20: <Israelhexen> and sure, why not
20:15:39: <Israelhexen> It could be Future-Nagisa, or it could be Nagisa from two timelines over
20:15:51: <Israelhexen> Or it could indeed be a Nagisa clone made in the Bag
20:15:58: <Israelhexen> or a Nagisa clone made in a sinister lab somewhere
20:16:26: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> Stop giving me ideas and VOTE
20:16:40: <Israelhexen> Type in
20:16:49: <Israelhexen> "Oh god how did this get here I am not good with computer"
20:17:07: <Nama-D> For all we know "imagination" includes HOW it's obtained not just what is.
20:17:21: <Israelhexen> Exactly!
20:17:26: <Israelhexen> It's all a big mystery
20:17:42: <Nama-D> Hold on. Let me check a command.
20:17:43: <Israelhexen> (I honestly have no idea how to into DOS so...)
20:17:55: <Israelhexen> Mai, you're a technowizard right
20:17:58: <Israelhexen> halp
20:18:02: <Israelhexen> need techpriest badly
20:18:32: <DoubleDragoon> Red valkyrie needs techpriest badly?
20:18:36: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> {Become technomaguca]
20:18:36: <Israelhexen> Type in
20:18:41: <Israelhexen> "REVEAL YOUR SECRETS"
20:18:52: <Israelhexen> Pull out a DOS manual from the Bag and start learnin'
20:19:03: <Mai_Ikari> Start off with dir. Always start off with dir.
20:19:21: <Hat-chan> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VKXsnDvILmI
20:19:30: <Israelhexen> Type in
20:19:37: <Israelhexen> "ping mordor"
20:19:59: <Mai_Ikari> One does not simply ping mordor.
20:20:28: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> Your fingers typed in each letter individually, typing in /dir REVEAL YOUR SECRETS. Entering enter, you entered the entering entry into the computer and for your trouble got a "COMMAND NOT RECOGNIZED." And a bunch of gobbly goop. Want to try again?
20:20:44: <DoubleDragoon> one does not simply telenet into Mordor?
20:21:26: <DoubleDragoon> I cannot into DOS commands, but why don't we see if we can access the file they're no doubt keeping on us?
20:22:16: <Mai_Ikari> More seriously, the "dir /p" command will get us a directory listing in readable form.
20:22:17: <Nama-D> cd
20:22:19: <Israelhexen> http://sphotos-f.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/285608_187543698039711_1593045535_n.jpg
20:22:51: <Israelhexen> Fucking black gate
20:22:53: <Israelhexen> fucking trolls
20:23:07: <Nama-D> "cd .." untill we're to the top level.
20:23:11: <Mai_Ikari> But Dragoon's got the right of it, let's poke around folders and see if we can't find the NAGISA file.
20:23:54: <Nama-D> Then "dir" and start finding dossiers.

20:25:56: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> You pinged Mordor with 32 bits of data. It timed out four times. Fine then, you started to hit /cd over and over until you couldn't do it anymore. Changing gears, you typed in /dir. >WHICH DIRECTORY DO YOU WANT? A good question. You sat thinking before a thought came to you. You wondered what they had on you, i.e. a folder of data on yours truly. It was worth
20:26:27: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> checking out. You typed in /dir NAGISA, and...
20:27:20: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> Actually got something. You blinked in surprise at this. It was a shot in the dark for all you cared, and it actually hit something. Alright, you're in, somehow. Heart racing, you scooted closer to the screen and read the layout.

20:28:12: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> Which first?
20:29:29: <Israelhexen> RTFM
20:29:43: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> RTFM?
20:29:47: <Nama-D> Powers.
20:29:51: <Israelhexen> The fookin' manual
20:29:52: <Israelhexen> read it
20:30:04: <Israelhexen> readme.txt always
20:30:06: <Israelhexen> aaaalways
20:30:11: <Nama-D> RTFM= Read The Fucking Manual
20:30:19: <Nama-D> Is trap.
20:30:23: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> I got up to the F, M was unknown.
20:30:25: <Israelhexen> Well yeah
20:30:29: <Israelhexen> that was my first thought too, haha
20:31:07: <Israelhexen> Still there's not much you can actually do with a txt I don't think? Then again I am not a techpriest
20:31:13: <Nama-D> Why would they need a readme for their own system? Especially for a set of text files?
20:31:18: <Israelhexen> it's probably just a GET OUT OF HERE STALKER message
20:31:26: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> Nope.
20:31:27: <Israelhexen> magic
20:31:27: <Israelhexen> oh wait
20:31:28: <Israelhexen> nevermind
20:31:30: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> I'm classier than that.
20:31:49: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> Again, what do you open first?
20:32:11: <Nama-D> Either powers or readme.
20:32:16: <Israelhexen> History, perhaps
20:32:20: <Israelhexen> nostalgia modo go
20:32:26: <Nama-D> Also,
20:32:30: <Israelhexen> delicious backstory
20:32:42: <Mai_Ikari> Powers.
20:32:49: <Nama-D> >requiring allcaps system
20:33:07: <Nama-D> Is this literally DOS?
20:33:11: <Israelhexen> >implying they require the allcaps and don't just use them for the hell of it
20:33:13: <Mai_Ikari> Since if they've got a full document of our bag, then there's no reason to be keeping it in the dark.
20:33:20: <Israelhexen> >implying the .txt on README wasn't uncapitalized
20:33:52: <Nama-D> Well fuck. Glossed over that.
20:34:28: <Israelhexen> Fun fact, "dos" is what we call the ultra-orthodox :V
20:34:35: <Israelhexen> always been funny to me
20:34:45: <Israelhexen> This use has roots in Yiddish I believe
20:35:07: <Israelhexen> Where "dos" literally means "religion" or summat
20:35:10: <Israelhexen> THE MORE YOU KNOW
20:36:47: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> You opened up the POWERS folder, and in it was a series of text files all with dates for titles. It stretched back a good deal into the past. From what you could see in each text document, someone has been stalking you, watching you very closely. So close they could've done something. In fact they have, having injected something that sedated the injectee and
20:36:48: <Israelhexen> youtuuuuuube come on
20:38:08: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> befuddled their memory synapses. You then learn that this someone had placed you in that flea bag motel with the intention of "sending demons" to you. Scary. They clearly know of your bag, but no mention of Usagi and Mami in any friendly terms. They were in the dark on this, just as you were before.
20:38:25: <Nama-D> >that cutoff
20:38:55: <Israelhexen> Conspiracies conspiring against conspiracies
20:39:00: <Israelhexen> How unexpected
20:39:19: <Nama-D> Also, what the fuck is going on?
20:40:01: <Israelhexen> Noir.
20:40:26: <Israelhexen> Behind the man is a man.
20:40:29: <Israelhexen> Behind him is another man.
20:40:36: <Israelhexen> It's mans all the way down.
20:41:07: <Nama-D> Get anti-grimdark gun from bag.
20:41:25: <Israelhexen> Noir != grimdark
20:41:25: <Nama-D> Apply to appropriate people.
20:41:31: <Mai_Ikari> Nah, this is when you get out the trenchcoat, fedora, and cigarette.
20:41:42: <Israelhexen> And the whiskey
20:41:45: <Israelhexen> don't forget the whiskey
20:41:52: <Nama-D> Wow
20:41:57: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> You couldn't gleam much more from the POWERS folder, and /cd up to the NAGISA main directory. What next, Nagisa?
20:42:00: <Israelhexen> REvolver optional but highly recommended
20:42:01: <Nama-D> I'm just jokinh.
20:42:11: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> >HISTORY
20:42:13: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> >VITALS
20:42:15: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> >README.txt
20:42:27: <Israelhexen> LEARN YER HISTORY KID
20:42:45: <Mai_Ikari> Let's see... VITALS, powers already told us that History is probably everything we know and then some.
20:42:50: <Mai_Ikari> Might as well find out what we don't know.
20:43:55: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> History I, Vitals I
20:44:28: <Israelhexen> But we already know our three sizes, Mai.
20:45:04: <Nama-D> vitals
20:45:11: <Israelhexen> Screw it, Vitals.
20:47:22: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> You opened up VITALS, and another slew of text documents appeared. This time they had actual names, instead of dates. HER THREE SIZES, HER GENERAL INFORMATION, HER INTERESTS, HER 'FRIENDS', HER LIFESTYLE, HER FAMILY, HER PLAN, and one last document with a different name. RECENT DEVELOPMENTS.
20:47:50: <Israelhexen> >HER PLAN
20:47:57: <Israelhexen> >implying there had ever been a plan
20:48:02: <Israelhexen> >and it wasn't just her winging it all along
20:48:14: <Nama-D> Recent developments first.
20:48:26: <Israelhexen> Aye
20:49:56: <Mai_Ikari> Recent developments, then HER PLAN
20:50:14: <Nama-D> Then family, then friends, then plan, then general info, then interests, then lifestyle.
20:50:58: <Israelhexen> And a glance at three sizes because why the hell not
20:51:05: <Israelhexen> Maybe they got those wrong :V
20:51:15: <Nama-D> Then maybe three sizes. Why would that not be under gen inf, though?
20:51:48: <Mai_Ikari> I don't see much reason to read half this stuff, it's either what we already know, or it's unlikely to be of use. Give it a skim, of course.
20:51:51: <Israelhexen> You clearly don't understand the deep cultural importance of BWH in grorious nippon
20:53:22: <Nama-D> It's three numbers. Not saying unimportant, but if the drive is NTFS it's taking up more space than if it was in geninf.
20:54:16: <Israelhexen> It's not just numbers. That file probably contains in-depth analysis of Nagisa's anatomy
20:54:49: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> You opened RECENT DEVELOPMENTS. Text scrolled. "SHE is looking for HER. It's finally happening. The magical exam verified that. I've ordered the two wouldbe destroyers to amp up shielding. If SHE finds HER, the endgame would be triggered, which I don't mind, but I want to put HER out a little while longer. A few more squeezes from this rock to slack my thirst
20:55:04: <Nama-D> Then why not HER APPEARANCE?
20:55:18: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> {Because lewd}
20:55:45: <Israelhexen> Appearance is for general overview. Three sizes is a little more specific and in-depth.
20:56:28: <Israelhexen> File may or may not include personal opinions, every bit of which helps us know our potential enemy
20:57:02: <Nama-D> That would probably be under interests.
20:57:30: <Israelhexen> Not Nagisa's personal opinions. The personal opinions of the person writing these reports.
20:58:07: <Nama-D> Oh. Thoughts on Nagisa, not Nagisas thoughts.
20:58:12: <Israelhexen> Yes.
20:58:36: <Israelhexen> Nagisa's thoughts, if this chat is anything to go by, are a great and terrible thing to behold
20:59:17: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> is all I want from this world. Then a swift and brutal befriending." There's nothing more in this text document. The person who drafted this must have been secretive by nature, because this was lightweight stuff. Shrugging, you exited out of it and went into HER PLAN.
20:59:26: <Nama-D> Her thoughts gave her an imagine bag.
20:59:38: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> {all I want from this doomed world*}
21:00:18: <Israelhexen> So we're potentially dealing with a friendshipguca.
21:00:24: <Israelhexen> Boy oh boy oh boy
21:00:33: <Israelhexen> eye ahm excite
21:00:51: <Nama-D> >against Nanoha
21:01:00: <Israelhexen> Worse
21:01:02: <Israelhexen> Material S
21:01:15: <Nama-D> Material S?
21:01:38: <Israelhexen> Nantoka's evil clone robot thing from some portable game IIRC
21:02:08: <Nama-D> Nantoka?
21:02:17: <Israelhexen> Nantoka Takamachi
21:02:18: <Israelhexen> do you even
21:02:22: <Israelhexen> [14:35] <Katyusha> Nanoha, with Vita's close combat ability.
21:02:22: <Israelhexen> [14:35] <Katyusha> Also, Zafira's def stats
21:02:22: <Israelhexen> [14:35] <Katyusha> AKA the 2nd most broken character in the game
21:02:22: <Israelhexen> [14:34] <Katyusha> She's only in the PSP games and is basically uh
21:02:51: <Nama-D> Right behind Reinforce?
21:02:56: <Israelhexen> Probably.
21:03:03: <Israelhexen> Rein da breakiest
21:03:07: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> Text scrolled. "HER plan is as silly as the others, Usagi and Mami's. Instead of destroying the world, HER wants to rule it. Having examined her for quite some time - see POWERS for further information - I came up with a few possible reasons. HER wants to rule in a dictatorship, striking out against the populace for the big wrong in her past. HER wants to see
21:03:22: <Israelhexen> "Takamachi Nantoka" was Vita's best line in any MGLN
21:04:00: <Israelhexen> I wonder if HER is just caps or an acronym.
21:04:10: <Israelhexen> Ditto for SHE
21:05:05: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> the world burn, anger having sizzled in her heart long enough. Or, HER wants to rule the world in a unified democracy or republic. Least likely of all scenarios, research indicates. But my gut is telling me she has another more likely scenario that she isn't telling anyone..."
21:05:21: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> [And the author goes absent minded!}
21:05:48: <Israelhexen> Oh dear.
21:06:35: <Nama-D> Glorious uncorrupted monarchy.
21:07:02: <Nama-D> The most effient type of rule.
21:07:48: <Israelhexen> Aye
21:08:13: <Mai_Ikari> Well at least they don't have "Her plan is such and so, our counters are yadayada, we have dismissed any claims of her being an actual threat"
21:08:47: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> That was all for HER PLAN. You exited out. Time for HER FAMILY. "Father - Wealthy entrepreneur with ties in many wealthy organizations. Deceased. Mother - Not apart of family, having ran away for reasons unknown. Deceased nonetheless. Daughter - Spoiled, rotten, ungrateful bitch that didn't welcome anyone beyond the norm. Still living." That was all for HER
21:08:51: <Nama-D> And Nagisa has the rage and pride alone to keep it, once she has it.
21:09:45: <Israelhexen> The question is- does she have the style? We'll have to work on that
21:11:12: <Nama-D> Yeah. Can she actually pull off a GOOD one? Uncorrupted monarchy is EFFICIENT. Actual quality depends on the leader.
21:11:42: <Nama-D> Shit leader will EFFICIENTLY run it into the ground.
21:11:49: <Israelhexen> Quite so
21:11:56: <Israelhexen> A monarch also needs to be larger than life
21:12:19: <Israelhexen> It's well and good to keep what's yours by bloody-minded stubbornness
21:12:27: <Nama-D> Like I said, pride for it.
21:12:30: <Israelhexen> But it's better to dissuade people from trying to take from you to begin with
21:12:38: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> FAMILY. You exited out and entered HER 'FRIENDS'. "Matsubara Usagi - A bit of a tomboy, she has a heart of gold and is really protective of Momomiya Mami. She does tennis, race track, and haikus. Momomiya Mami - A girl from a rich family, possibly blue blood. She does painting, poetry, and tennis. Nagisa Yuna -
21:12:45: <Israelhexen> Pride != style, we need to work on it :V
21:13:02: <Israelhexen> She's got the potential for it but that's all it is at this point
21:13:04: <Nama-D> Of course. But it's a start.
21:13:13: <Israelhexen> Aye
21:14:43: <Nama-D> Those that expect her to be lord in a day need to get fucked. She has time to grow.
21:15:13: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> A girl that absolutely adores Midorikawa Nagisa. Enough so to adopt her first name as her last. She goes to no clubs, and is generally a generic student. Except, she's a friend... Aino Fuu - " That's all for HER FRIENDS.
21:15:58: <Nama-D> Aino Fuu is empty?
21:16:04: <Israelhexen> I don't think Fuu wants to be Nagisa's friend. Fuu's body is another matter entirely :V
21:17:11: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> [Ceiling coobie is freaky deaky. I don't think you all are getting in the spirit of this :V And yes Aino Fuu is empty, as if the person wanted to add text but couldn't stand to see the sight of them.}
21:18:17: <Nama-D> How do we "get in the spirit of this", then?
21:18:28: <Israelhexen> Yeah, sorry if I'm being too sillylewd, I am absolutely incapable of being serious when I'm this low on sleep
21:18:39: <Israelhexen> it's either dopey-happy or mopey-emo
21:19:03: <Israelhexen> I think this is the Israelhexen you'd rather be dealing with
21:19:08: <Israelhexen> not the sad pathetic one
21:19:30: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> {Got me, nama-D. You being here participating is enoughf or me. So should I break off here and continue at later date?}
21:19:54: <Israelhexen> If you want to. Again, I'm sorry if I'm-
21:19:56: <Israelhexen> Sleepy!
21:20:01: Israelhexen glomps
21:20:02: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> {Hi SleepyLaptop}
21:20:08: <SleepyLaptop> Israel~
21:20:18: <Nama-D> Let's finish the finish the files then finish for the day.
21:20:32: <Israelhexen> Yeah, that's probably for the best
21:22:33: <Israelhexen> Also, I'd like to note
21:22:44: <Israelhexen> So far Nagisa Quest is by far the best thing that's happened in my day
21:23:09: <Israelhexen> And seeing as my day will probably be ending in no more than an hour or two, it's guaranteed to be the highlight
21:24:25: <Nama-D> I want something to gnaw on. My canines are just too brutal on my lip.
21:26:42: <Israelhexen> I know the feeling
21:27:44: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> You exited out of the file, and opened HER INTERESTS. "HER Interests are as follows: Outer space, science fiction, colonizing other worlds, highly advanced technology, her friends, Nagisa Yuna. After THAT, HER interests are as follows: Selfishness, whiskey, brooding, staring off into space with a vacant look in HER eyes, sticking close to run down slums.
21:28:18: <Nama-D> I have a total of FOUR sores on my lower lip because of my lower canines.
21:31:45: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> It's interesting to see how her interests shifted after THAT. A good thing for me, really." That's all for that text file. You closed out of it and entered HER GENERAL INFORMATION. "Name Midorikawa Nagisa. Age 17. height 5'6''. Weight 105 lbs. Eyes left green right blue. Blood type AB, or O. Back length black hair. Finger nails & toe nails recently cut [xx-xx
21:35:00: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> -xxxx] Scars none. Birthmarks none. Disadvantages none. Slender fingers, slender toes." And it stopped right there. It was terrifying how accurate it was, even more so with the abrupt ending with lack of commentary at the end. You closed out and entered HER THREE SIZES. "HER Three sizes will be forth coming. But I suspect it'll be similar to a boys." Oh dear.
21:35:50: <Nama-D> This guy gets killed.
21:37:12: <Israelhexen> Someone's getting fucked. In a bad way.
21:38:11: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> You closed out and entered the last remaining text file in the folder: HER LIFESTYLE. "She lived a decadent life in a crystal palace with everything at her fingertips. She lead a wealthy life with all sorts of technological marvels and good food. I don't hate her for being born in such a gifted position, but her having friends and denying me any
21:38:41: <Mai_Ikari> This really begs the question, just what the fuck kind of surveilance is going on that they know when we last cut our toenails, but not our three sizes? Did somebody seed us with nanocams? Is that even a thing?
21:38:59: <Mai_Ikari> And can we kill it?
21:39:48: <Nama-D> Anti-nanobot nanobots.
21:40:45: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> just rankled me. Then again... they all denied me..." Text document ended there. You closed out and got out of VITALS. Staring at >HISTORY, >README.txt, you felt a ghost behind you. Checking around, you were still alone. The command center still was a comand center, with nothing having happened.
21:40:46: <Israelhexen> D, that never ends well.
21:40:59: <Israelhexen> Once you start fighting nanomachines with nanomachines you just start aging rapidly
21:41:06: <Israelhexen> This, Hideo Kojima has taught me
21:41:46: <Mai_Ikari> But that's not what was going on D:
21:41:57: <Israelhexen> Shhh. This isn't a time for logic.
21:42:02: <Israelhexen> Or facts.
21:42:07: <Israelhexen> This is a time for sleepdephexen.
21:42:14: <Mai_Ikari> And goo.
21:42:20: <Israelhexen> It's always time for goo.
21:42:43: <Israelhexen> [x] Bug out. Calmly.
21:42:53: <Israelhexen> You don't ignore hunches in noir.
21:43:48: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> Staring at the creepiest stalker in existence, you felt a tremor of uncertainty twang deep in your gut. Shrouded in the betrayers cloak, with a lance of red stabbing your heart, you sat in the brain of the beast, staring at mechanisms of which you have no idea. An interlude appears on screen, and the audience get up to get more popcorn. The theater lightens
21:44:10: <Mai_Ikari> A measure of OH GOD MY HAIR HAS BEEN REPLACED WITH INTELLIGENT NANOCAMERAS AND THEY'RE WATCHING MY EVERY MOVE is perfectly called for.
21:44:23: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> up, and murmurs were exchanged for what was coming.
21:44:27: <Midorikawa_Nagisa> [Chikuwa[
