Miyako:
Sooo, maybe start in an hour or so?
tirkaroKujo:
I suppoooooooose
Agi:
I'd be down to start at 6
Agi:
and I don't really mind one way or the other @ presesh

Yuumi:
*feeds Masa a berry*

Masa:
it's not even roasted

Yuumi:
you don't need to roast them

Yuumi:
that only lets it heal like 1 health
Thrice:
best to combine them with the severed flesh of your fallen enemies to make delicious meatabulls

Yuumi:
okay but really though I need to get a... what were they called again? The artifacts that let you call them whenever?
Tokens dropped onto map 'Yoshino Village' by player MarthTrinity (Player)

Yuumi:
Effigy.

Ci:
Super High School Level Ninja o3o

Yuumi:
You're like 20

Yuumi:
you shouldn't be in high school

Ci:
Ninja high school works in mysterious ways.
Thrice:
All right aggs if you want we can do the thing with the stuff
Thrice:
I've just been looking at paffinger stuff
Thrice:
(SINISTER)

Yuumi:
I sorta have too

Ci:
Ooo! Ooo! I'm Paffinder stuff! *raises hand*

Yuumi:
truly an inspiration
Yuumi: (( where were we though? ))

Ci:
*poof*
Yuumi: (( Oh right. You'd threatened to kill me. ))
Thrice: (( SHE hadn't ))
Thrice: (( she said that you'd be hunted by her clan for knowing what you know ))
Yuumi: (( ...shit, god damn it Tirk (D) You never uploaded the gaiden log ))
Thrice: (( she never threatened or even mentioned killing anyone herself ))
Yuumi: (( now everything is ruined forever. ))
Yuumi: (( Why did I call her boobie lady ))
Yuumi: (( I want to retcon all of my lines. ))
Yuumi: (( at least I didn't have any typos. ))
Yuumi: (( I've decided I'm never drinking during tubs again ))
Yuumi: (( anyway should I start or do you have a paragraph incoming ))
Yuumi: (( you turning off your typing notifications has not helped with the flow of discussion. ))
Cahya: (( I was on the phone ))
Yuumi: (( well since when do you have one of those ))
Cahya: (( you can start anyway ))

Yuumi:
"So what am I getting killed over again? I'm still reeling from that. You know that other clans know about colored contacts too, right?" Yuumi backtracks a little, fearing she's said too much while knowing too little.
tirkaroKujo:
o well dam now you wanna start
Cahya: (( no, it's just a sort of one-off thing b/t me an agg ))
Yuumi: (( unless it's just that important that Tsunade interrupts before any conversation can be had ))

Cahya:
"Ahahya...you cannot unsay what you have said! My memory is the sharpest of my clan! If you wish to pretend you know nothing and go on by yourself, that is well and good, but it shall not fool my clansmen!"

Yuumi:
"Grr..." Yuumi lowers her voice, seeing as there are other people around now. "Well, if it's that dangerous of knowledge, you should really be doing a better job of hiding it! You can't blame me for noticing a thing or two!"

Yuumi:
"Besides, it's not like I have any idea what's REALLY going on..."
Reika: (( TOO LATE, HUNTED FOREVER. ))

Cahya:
"I do not work alongside others often...it is inevitable that they notice! Why, even the others, concerned now only with themselves, shall see it in due time! As for what you know...all I can say is that even a hunch is enough!"

Yuumi:
"How would they even know, huh? Huh? What, are you all in a hivemind or something? Shouldn't you have found that guy you're looking for by now if you were?"

Cahya:
"Hahya! You are not in a clan yourself, are you? Spies are everywhere! They do not know yet, but it shall not be long."

Yuumi:
"Oh, pff, spies. Like there are really spies around here!"
Reika: (( And then a guy in a giant Beedrill costume walks past. ))

Yuumi:
"...hey, wait, there weren't spies in the room, were there? Why'd you lead me out of the room, then? That's not even fair, why couldn't you be cool?!"
Reika: (( Also basically what I'm gathering here is that Cayha is a -huge- liability that will be far more dangerous to have around than she's worth ))
Yuumi: (( BASICALLY ))

Cahya:
"Ahahya...I had to train. And I do not believe that any are stationed here...if so, clansmen would be here already! They'd have come when the town was isolated in time..after all, they would have gotten no reports from anyone in the area, which would have set off alarms! We are safe here!"
Reika: (( And Yuumi's not going to tell us any of this because she'll get distracted by kittens or something. ))

Cahya:
"Stay on guard, little one! But not for humankind! The most dangerous of enemies may be the smallest."

Yuumi:
"Pfffffine. Jeez..." Yuumi lets out a ragged breath. "You better watch it, though. If you're a walking timebomb of secrets, you realize the kind of danger you're putting us in by not keeping better care of them, right? I mean, if I let something slip, -I'D- be the one in trouble! And definitely not killed!"

Yuumi:
*one of my secrets, that is, not yours

Yuumi:
*yours we'd both probably be killed.

Cahya:
"Ehehyeh...I no longer have a need to guard my clan's secrets closely! The conversation of last night compounded with not silencing you here, it will result in much unhappiness with me! My clan's current state, I have abandoned it! Why should we hide so well, when none can copy our techniques anymatter?"

Yuumi:
"Because apparently your spies are going to kill anyone who finds out. And I wouldn't put it past them to kill you too, if you're being so casual about it!"

Cahya:
"Oh, I will be their primary target! But I do not worry. I am more powerful than them! In the long term...my clan shall be rebuilt, and none of this shall press us any longer!"

Yuumi:
"Look, I'll do us both a favor and shut up. As far as we're concerned, I didn't see anything, and I'm going to make sure no one else figures it out either. It's none of my business what your clan gets up to, but it's definitely my business that you don't endanger the rest of us just because you couldn't make up a passable story."

Cahya:
"Little one, nothing is worth worrying over! Others make such fusses over their lives and perceived threats! But all you must do is survive. It is a simple task, this! And, little one...I am honest! Ask of me anything, I will not hide the answer. Should your wits enable you to discover the truth, I will not attempt to cloud it!"

Yuumi:
"Maybe later. I'm not in the mood for riddles anymore..."

Cahya:
"Ahahya...ah! And do not worry! Should weakness beckon and dismantle you in combat, against my clan or nay, I will put you back together again! Properly, to boot! I have mundane medical training too, you know!"

Yuumi:
I'm going to wake up one day with mandibles.
Yuumi: (( aight that works ))
Yuumi: (( Everyone else around? ))

Cahya:
no
tirkaroKujo:
I am now

Miyako:
me
Reika: (( Gotta put on a wash real quick, then I'll be ready. ))

Yuumi:
Social Link Goooo

Cahya:
Your Social Link rank has dropped to -1!
Reika: (( And wash is goooooo. I'm ready whenever. ))
Yuumi: (( what's the proper honorific for "scary bug lady who doesn't care she could have us killed at any time?" ))
Cahya: (( cahya-kowai-sama ))
Reika: (( Cahya-bitch ))
Cahya: (( kowai just means scary ))
Cahya: (( or ugly ))
Cahya: (( but mostly scary ))
Yuumi: (( that'll do. ))
Cahya: (( no it has nothing to do with kawaii ))
Cahya: (( tho most baka gaijin accidentally pronounce kawaii like kowai. ))
Yuumi: (( the desu is everywhere ))
Cahya: (( I never did understand how Tokyo could be so retarded as to not understand that there's a u at the end of desu ))
Cahya: (( most tokyofags pronounce it like 'des' ))
Cahya: (( whereas proper kansai motherfuckers actually pronounce the u ))
Cahya: (( and no, kowai isn't an honorific, it's just a word, but lel ))
tirkaroKujo:
Alright, soooooo
Yuumi: (( yeah, dubble where were we ))

Kan:
Well not terribly much is going on on this end, I'll tell you that, besides the whole getting ambushed by the former hunters Ippongi and Gen, the latter seeming rather quick to throw in the towel.

Reika:
*the trowel

Tsunade:
The magma lady yawns. "So, were you planning on going for some tea later? It's the perfect time of day for it...."

Yuumi:
"What were those two getting up to, anyway?"
Reika: (( Because he's a gardener guy...right? Get it? Throw in the trowel? o3o... ))
Cahya: (( ill throw u in the volcano ))

Cahya:
"Fueh? Ah! I do not know!"

Marona:
"*Huff huff* Hey! Hey! I'd advise to keep the violence to a minimum! Both for your own good, and for the sake of this village!"

Yuumi:
"Oh hey, Reika-san, Miya-kun. Fighting off assassins already? That's cool."

Ippongi:
Ippongi is healed and gains 60 hit points.

Ippongi:
"*Phew...* Hey...don't take me for an ordinary assassin, now!" The swordsman grumbles angrily as he gets up."

Gen:
"Good grief...it seems we can never let go of the past, in the end..."

Miyako:
"...Tch, I had no interest in a quarrel so early in the morning." She says brushing off any dust she got in the small fight. I'll just go ahead and use the Super Potion I got from Gen on Hiryu too.

Hiryu♂:
Hiryu♂ is healed and gains 26 hit points.

Reika:
Reika dismounts and gives a brief wave to Yuumi, "Goodmorning, Yuumi."

Miyako:
Also tirk...did I ever get an Effigy for my Honedge?
Yuumi: (( should I just assume I got an effigy for Masa then, I think any opportunity to do so naturally has been long lost ))
Yuumi: (( effigies are fuckin hard man ))

Gen:
Sure, I suppose his effigy is just the helmet he wears on his head

Gen:
It sorta comes easy
Yuumi: (( Shit. Does that mean I have to wear the helmet myself? ))

Gen:
Just keep it around your waist
Yuumi: (( what if I wanna wear it ))

Cahya:
"Ahahya...my, what happened to you all? You look...very slightly inconvenienced!"

Gen:
I can't stop you
Yuumi: (( I'm wearing it ))
Cahya: (( >helmet of gender-bending ))
Yuumi: (( wrong setting. ))
Cahya: (( It's a tirk game. ))
Cahya: (( Your argument is invalid. ))
Yuumi: (( Tirk's games have -never- dealt with gender bending. ))
Cahya: (( that you know of. ))

Tsunade:
Tsunade crosses her arms in disappointment. "I suppose that's a no to the tea suggestion? Ah well...I have business to attend to soon."

Reika:
"Oh, I didn't see you there Cahya. Greetings as well." Reika clears her throat, "Just a minor scuffle, nothing more."

Marona:
Marona shouts angrily at Tsunade. "Don't go around acting innocent too!"
Yuumi: (( who was she talking to, it was rather unclear ))

Miyako:
"Hmm...why don't the two of you return to your homes for the time being? Staying with me isn't the smartest idea I think. Don't worry, we'll meet again shortly." She says as she returns her Pokemon by her side back to their effigies.
Tsunade: (( wait, who was who talking to ))
Yuumi: (( Tsunade ))

Cahya:
"Mmm...why the tea? Ah! Are we staying here another day yet? Or do we leave today?"
Yuumi: (( there's way too much happening in one spot here ))

Tsunade:
Probably everyone by association, but mostly Reika and Miyako

Miyako:
I just returned my Pokemon to my effigies. Just waiting to see what happens now.

Ippongi:
"I'll pass.....I have no money for food at all, love...and bloimey am I hungry..."

Yuumi:
"We have that Grand Opening to attend, at least! Ooh, was that for breakfast? Lunch? Dinner? I should go check it out."

Reika:
"Oh, I vaguely remember you talking about something like that.."
Yuumi: (( the Grand Opening is the closest thing we have to a plot hook right now besides Cahya's thing, so I'm running with it ))

Tsunade:
"Ah, I forgot that was opening soon...I'll judge their entire self-worth by the sheer quality of their tea." Tsunade taps her foot and looks to the sky. "If only Orochimaru was here with me..."

Yuumi:
"Funny story, that! You just missed him, he was here last night. And the day prior. Pretty cool guy, all around! A bit on the short side though."

Miyako:
"...If you want to go, go ahead. I'll catch up later I suppose. Reika...watch yourself with that hound, why don't you?" Miyako says as she walks off on her own with Hiryu to attend just a little bit more training.

Reika:
"All this talk about tea has made me want some milk tea myself..."

Miyako:
and by that, I'm just gonna go ahead and bind 2AP to activate my stance thing.

Miyako:
Miyako uses 2 AP!

Tsunade:
"Oh, was he...? Well, I think I have an idea what he's up to then..."

Cahya:
"Ahahya! I am finding myself agreeing with the little one! Orochimaru was great indeed! Sadly, he is gone now..."
Tokens dropped onto map 'Yoshino Village' by player Thrice (Player)
Yuumi: (( Should probably state which one you're activating for when combat does come aroun ))
Miyako: (( 5 Damage Reduction, -5 Initiative ))
Miyako: (( so effectively counters my Quick Claw lol ))

Yuumi:
"Aw come on, more secrets? Why does everyone have to be up to something?"

Tsunade:
"He's quite a genius, in fact. Not really one to do anything for no reason...sort of the opposite of me, when you think about it! I've never seen him bored once...."

Tsunade:
"I'd advise you to be on your toes if you ever catch him again. He's a real master at manipulation..."

Gen:
"Gaaaah...guess I'll just carry you off myself..."

Ippongi:
"Ey, waddya take me for!? I can walk just fine on my own, and only break 3 of my bones a minute!"
MarthTrinity is disconnected.
MarthTrinity is disconnected.

Miyako:
Is the grand opening for the resturant happening like real soon (IE right after this convo is done), because if not, I'll go to the store to buy some items really quick

Miyako:
because I have money now :D

Cahya:
"Aya! Is he? My! Strange indeed, given my conversation with him!"
MarthTrinity has connected.

Yuumi:
"What IS the plan anyway, Reika? We found the source of the weather and took care of it. Do we just head back to Kanto from here?"

Ippongi:
It's happening pretty soonish, probably even now so long as the proper parties show up

Miyako:
Doooo you mind if I go to the store and pick some items? If not, let's say I meet up with every in about 15 minutes or so

Miyako:
everyone*

Yuumi:
"I mean, that's mission complete as far as I'm concerned!"

Ippongi:
Sure, getting items is probably for the best

Miyako:
alrighty, where the fuck is the store lady
Cahya: (( Yeah we really should get items. ))

Tomoe:
ayy lmao
Cahya: (( we don't want the PK'er to get them all (D) ))
Cahya: (( we're probably gonna need them for the grand opening ))

Reika:
Reika ponders for a moment, "Yes, that sounds about right. As far as I'm concerned, our mission was a success. We completed what Master Souki asked of us."
Yuumi: (( I totally forgot his name. ))

Tomoe:
"*Koff koff* Oh there you are dearie. There was such a ruckus outside, I was wondering if everyone made it...but everything seems quiet again now." As for the items, there are Potions, Super Potions, Heal Powder, Revival Herbs, Sitrus Berries, Antidotes, Thunder and Water stones, and more special scrolls

Miyako:
Question 1: What are the scrolls obv?

Miyako:
Question 2: Does she happen to have any tea (which are rebranded Sodas in this game?)

Miyako:
or well tea packs I guess

Tsunade:
"Oh, is that what you were here for? Yes, I'd advise you all to do the same. The days are much more peaceful here now..."

Tomoe:
Just Tea Packets, which are actually sparkling lemonade

Miyako:
I'll take 2 then. Lemonades are 250 each right? So 4800 is how much I have left. "Hmm...not quite the same brand I had back home I always drink, but...good enough I suppose."

Tomoe:
Everything in this shop is about 50 ryo cheaper

Yuumi:
my brand

Miyako:
Oh neat

Miyako:
Annnd the scrolls~?

Yuumi:
"You know, I get the feeling I'm going to hate myself for saying this, but that was way too easy."

Cahya:
"Ahyaha! Is that what you shall do? Then today shall be our last, yes? I have more business!"

Miyako:
I'll just go ahead and drink one of my tea sodas then I bought way before (healing 30 HP)

Miyako:
Miyako is healed and gains 25 hit points.

Yuumi:
"I'll go ahead and send the messenger Pidgey so he gets the good news."

Reika:
"Please do. I'm sure he's been waiting to hear from us."

Tomoe:
In a bunch of complex sutras, the scrolls spell out "SHADOW CLAW", "SWORDS DANCE", "THUNDER" "STEEL WING" "STRUGGLE BUG" and "CONFIDE"

Yuumi:
"Marona-san, is there a messenger station in this town?"

Yuumi:
or whatever it'd be called

Miyako:
How much be Swords Dance? I'll take it cause you never know~

Reika:
"Now, I believe there was mention of milk tea?"

Marona:
"Not a station, no, but Maizuri is our local messenger/mail lady around here. Gets her job done frighteningly fast..."

Tsunade:
"A milk tea sort of folk, are you? Could have certainly done much worse..."
Cahya: (( Aw come on, aggs, that ain't authentic - you'd call her hostess-san in real japneez ))
Cahya: (( you know this ))
Cahya: (( neithero f us knows the jap word for hostess tho ))

Tsunade:
"But sure! You seem quite the eager sort of girl, so let's see if we can head there first!"

Yuumi:
Indeed I don't

Yuumi:
"Cool. Where should I look for her?"

Marona:
"No need to. Just call her name."
Yuumi: (( also, didn't you guys have an unresolved arc with the Mawiloli- wait, right, that was just Thrice now. ))

Miyako:
Caaan I just assume 1000 ryo then, tirk?

Marona:
oh right

Marona:
yeah swords dance in 1k

Yuumi:
"What, like this? HEY MAIZURI, WHERE'RE YOU AT?"
Cahya: (( it's 1200 ))
Cahya: (( it's in the book m8 ))

Marona:
*is

Marona:
and things are cheaper in this shop

Marona:
I already said
Cahya: (( 50 cheaper/ ))
Cahya: (( so it's 1150 ))
Yuumi: (( Find something worth 25 ryo ))
Cahya: (( Also ))
Cahya: (( >Has a Pokemon that knows Swords Dance ))
Cahya: (( >Buys it anyway jus tso nobody else can have it ))
Cahya: (( what a bitch ))

Miyako:
Then ka ching, business done~

Marona:
Right, it actually shoudl be 1100

Marona:
I'll just shave off 50 more from that price

Marona:
my maths is jacked today

Reika:
"Hmm? Some sort of tea connoisseur?" Reika asks, "What's wrong with milk tea?"

Miyako:
Miyako will then meet back up with everyone juuust in time for the Grandu Openingu presumedly

Tsunade:
"Oh, nothing, nothing. It's just, y'know, no Da-Hong Pao or Tieguanyin. But still, could certainly do worse."

Maizuri:
Suddenly appearing in a swarm of Murkrow, Maizuri seemingly teleports next to you. "HORE HORE! Who calls me for my services today?"

Miyako:
boids
Cahya: (( aya maizurimaru ))

Yuumi:
"Ooh, she wasn't kidding, you're fast!"

Maizuri:
"It's why my reputation is what it is, outsider! Now, what do you need? I'm on a busy schedule today!"

Yuumi:
"Just a simple message to deliver to Lord Souki from the Youkai Buster team... hey, wait a second, do we even have a name?"

Yuumi:
"Reika! What's our super cool team name? How is Lord Souki-sama supposed to know it's us?"

Reika:
"Umm...Yuumi, why are you suddenly using honorifics for everyone?"

Yuumi:
"I've been using them all along, it's part of our illustrious culture of Nippon!"

Yuumi:
"Also, it's fun, and that's what matters."

Cahya:
aight 4th wall broken i'm going back to log horizon
Reika: (( Hey, I didn't break the 4th wall, she literally just started, so I was asking why. ))
Yuumi: (( I decided to start after referring to you as m'lady and realizing how much I hated myself. ))
Reika: (( *tips fedora* ))
Yuumi: (( exactly. ))

Miyako:
"I need to sound more like a weeaboo" -Yuumi (1700 or whatever year it is)

Yuumi:
we are literally -in japan-
Cahya: (( I think we're assumed to always be using them ))
Cahya: (( agi's just the only one actually typing them out specifically ))
Miyako: (( s'what I thought too ))
Cahya: (( and Cahya doesn't use them much since she refers to people as little one or one of the billion ways to say 'you' ))
Reika: (( Well then scratch what I said, I thought she was just going out of her way to say them now. ))

Maizuri:
"I'm waiting!"
Yuumi: (( I figured you would've picked up on my reasoning from the hours I'd talked about it on Skype ))

Reika:
"A name...? Well I never really thought about a name for us..."
Miyako: (( you could just, I dunno, right your real name down ))

Miyako:
write even*
Reika: (( Flo Rei Mi Cah AND THEN YUUMI FUCKS IT UP. ))
Yuumi: (( why, I'm right in there as number 3 ))
Yuumi: (( Use -ko ))
Yuumi: (( Flo Rei Mi Cah Ko ))
Cahya: (( that's not 3 ))
Cahya: (( we'll call ourselves The Sound Of Not Giving A Shit ))
Reika: (( PERFECT. ))
Reika: (( WE'LL CALL OURSELVES THE ELITE FOUR ))

Yuumi:
"Aw whatever, he wouldn't know who it was from with a cool name anyway... just a 'Mission Accomplished', from the Youkai buster team led by (whatshername) Reika."
Cahya: (( the four heavenly queens ))
Reika: (( Matsuoka ))
Cahya: (( or the Three Heavenly Queens and The Pink One ))

Maizuri:
"Got it, got it! Now uh, let me look in my book, uuuh...Souki...gah, that's all the way in Kanto! I'll be sure to charge you acccordingly once I get back!"
Cahya: (( And thusly we weren't here when she got back. ))

Reika:
Reika steps aside and whispers to Yuumi, "I'd rather not alarm them with the news of Flora's disappearance...no need if she's going to return."

Yuumi:
"...huh? Once YOU get back? Not sending a bird?"
Cahya: (( Souki: ALL RIGHT, THIS NEXT MISSION IS -INTENSE- BUT SINCE YOU HAVE FIVE PEOPLE AND ONE OF THEM IS FUCKIN' -FLORA- YOU MIGHT BE OKAY ))

Yuumi:
"I'd like to think she set out to visit her own clan." @ Reika "She said they were in the region, maybe she got impatient?"

Reika:
Reika shakes her head, "No...honestly, I don't believe she left us on her own free will...but I do believe, knowing her personality, that she wanted to assure us she'd be back, despite the situation.."

Maizuri:
"I am sending a bird! Lots of birds! As well as myself! We are very well spread out you see...lots of multitasking involved!"

Maizuri:
"Maizuri awaaaay! Ayayayayaa....."

Reika:
"Regardless. We've all been through a lot...I think we could probably use the moral boost of some free food, no?"

Yuumi:
"Yeah. I hope she doesn't take too long."

Yuumi:
"Oh yeah, they probably already have the tables laid out for us!"

Cahya:
"Ah, you are so lucky! Hmm...but still, I shall go as well! It would be rude to not attend!"

Masa:
Anyhoo, Masa is still outside, ready to welcome in any guests. "Hey there, hey there! You arrived JUST in time too! We've, uh...been a lot more popular than we expected!"

Reika:
"Oldboy, let's make haste."

Miyako:
"...Just in time I see." Miyako walks back into the scene and meets up with the group.

Oldboy:
Dam am I just gonna have to keep controlling this mutt for u "Ruff..."

Masa:
"But uh...come right this way! We still have plenty of seats left over!" The map is way off on the left

Cahya:
ofc

Cahya:
okay wtf

Cahya:
I can't select nothing

Yuumi:
Public vote

Reika:
"Seats left over..? I thought we were guests of honor..."

Yuumi:
Shall we return our Pokemon for convenience's sake
Cahya: (( there it goes ))

Yuumi:
y
Cahya: (( Only if you accept that, once combat starts,w e'll have to use actions to release them ))
Miyako: (( what if a fight happens tho ))
Yuumi: (( You're gonna look like you WANT to start a fight if you have them out ))
Yuumi: (( especially Oldboy ))
Miyako: (( are you telling me there's something wrong with having a loyal companion by your side? (d) ))
Yuumi: (( Fangs dripping with blood Oldboy. ))
Reika: (( You can tell him he has to go away now. ))
Yuumi: (( And Maya who is made of knives. ))

Masa:
"Well uh, that WAS originally the plan, but uh...." Before you lies a giant pile of plates and stuff in front of the mawloli, who seems to be eating some rather unhealthy portions.

Kuchi:
"More please!"

Hizu:
"Geez Kuchi..save some for us..."

Yuumi:
"Aw, come on, that's not even fair!"

Masa:
"But hey! The food is still free for you at least! Can't say the same for those right there...."

Aimu:
"Good thing the Gannadai house has the funds to spare..."
Cahya: (( they have their Sentret out ))

Sentret:
sup

Cahya:
"Ahya! She is ever as cute as before! It is good to see you again, little ones."

Tsunade:
"Yeah yeah...but I wanna know what kinds of tea you got...!"

Kuchi:
"Daw, shucks...fanks...." Kuchi says while trying to speak with a mouth full of food.

Hizu:
"Oh hey. You're that lady from before. Hey uh...tell me...does this place seem familiar to you at all?"
Reika: (( Who's he talking to? ))
Yuumi: (( Cahya for sure. ))

Yuumi:
"Looks like a normal tea hut slash dining hall to me! Ooh, what's on the menu?"
Cahya: (( i'm p sure this is the same place we found mawloli ))
Cahya: (( am I not supposed to remember that for some reason ))

Oldboy:
Oldboy pushes past his trainer and plops down on the floor on the opposite side of the room.
Yuumi: (( I figured it was just lampshading on how often the image is used ))

Miyako:
"...Still having trouble with him, I see."

Hizu:
no you are definitely supposed to remember it

Cahya:
"Ahyaaa? Of course! We have been here before, during the storm!"

Yuumi:
You, sir, have a strange face.

Reika:
"Yes...yes I am," Reika mutters, slightly embarrassed.

Sunayama:
"What do we got? Lady, we got everything your wildest dreams could imagine! But sadly most of your dreams got devoured by that girl over there, so you're just gonna have to make do with everything your average school daydreams can imagine."

Miyako:
"Yare Yare...if you are truly friends though, you'll make up eventually." She says to her, before finding herself a seat.

Yuumi:
"As long as your soup is hearty, I'm pretty easy to please!"

Cahya:
u call me sir one more fuckin time yuumi an i'll eat you

Yuumi:
your face is fine, it's the thing directly behind it that scares me

Tsunade:
"Ooh, Oolong...guess I can deal with some of that...I'm in the mood for something spicy too...."

Hizu:
"Oh, well yeah, but that place was a little further off than this one. Are they the same place exactly? Maybe my mind is just playing tricks on me..."
Yuumi: (( For the record, I don't know -nearly- enough about cuisine, japanese or otherwise, to hold a conversation on the topic ))

Kuchi:
"Gaaah, I feel stronger than ever!"
Yuumi: (( I think TWILT is the closest thing to an expert we have ))

Reika:
Reika sighs and takes her seat as well, "I'll just take that milk tea.."

Tsunade:
"Heh. Down because you're having trouble with your Pokemon, huh? Don't feel too bad, you certainly aren't alone. You'd think slugs would be easy to please most of the time, but Honoozuma has quite the temper..."

Sunayama:
"Milk tea, milk tea, only the finest when it comes to both milk AND tea!"

Cahya:
"Ahahya! I cannot say! But no matter! We are here now, and that is all that should be in our minds, yes?"

Reika:
"Yes..yes I am. It's terribly embarrassing, to say the least."

Yuumi:
"What, Oldboy? Why would he be mad at you?"

Sunayama:
"Hearty soup, huh? Certainly you'd be interested in our world-famous Tororo udon? Made with only the finest tamba blackbeans this side of Johto."

Miyako:
"I think the answer should be obvious why considering what happened in our last...'encounter.' with those legendaries."

Miyako:
"Also...I'll just have some water and some fried squid if you have it."

Miyako:
...which I guess would be fried Tentacools? I dunno

Yuumi:
"Whoa! Miyako, do you really want to wear your voice out from all the way over there? Should we call over Maizuri so she can deliver your messages, or do you feel like coming up to the bar?"

Sunayama:
Dammit Miyako

Miyako:
Is it really that far from me and you

Sunayama:
these Inkay and Malamar didn't die for this kind of erasure

Miyako:
I-I'm sorry ._.
Yuumi: (( I figured it fit with her personality to sit super far away anyhow ))
Cahya: (( Miyako sits in the corner alone. ))
Miyako: (( This seemed like a small place, so I dunno ))

Reika:
Reika closes her eyes and takes a deep breath, "Yes...Oldboy is a very prideful Pokemon, it comes with his species. A rider and their Pokemon share a special bond to protect one another. And I failed at that, when he did his best to protect me...as he always has..."
Cahya: (( Also, Tirk is right - they didn't die for that kind of erasure ))
Cahya: (( they died for THIS kind of erasure. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MC0G-Lbuuk ))

Sunayama:
i dont even need to click that

Yuumi:
I do

Yuumi:
wait no I didnt

Miyako:
"Oh and some poffins for my Pokemon. Preferably make them sweet please."
MarthTrinity is disconnected.

Celebi:
"H-hi..." the legendary pokemon flies in all shylike. "I'm not used to these kinds of establishments at all..."
MarthTrinity has connected.
Reika: (( Did I miss anything? ))
Yuumi: (( One thing that wasn't super clear - is Celebi/Kyogre's identity known around town? ))

Miyako:
Celebi: "H-hi..." the legendary pokemon flies in all shylike. "I'm not used to these kinds of establishments at all..."

Miyako:
^ just that

Masa:
"What an honor to have you here, lady Celebi!" And what do you mean by that
Yuumi: (( oh. ))
Yuumi: (( nevermind. ))

Cahya:
"So many little ones here today! Ah, but that one is not as cute..."

Celebi:
"Hmm..." Celebi seems to get a strange vibe all of a sudden, but that doesn't stop her from awkwardly shuffling around the restaurant.
Yuumi: (( I just sorta assumed initially they wouldn't go around in their human forms unless they wanted to not get recognized ))

Celebi:
Nah it just looks cute
Cahya: (( oh right if you're gonna kill us with Mawloli, I have a treat for you ))
Cahya: (( Check my homebrew moves ))

Tsunade:
"Haha...so is that all? I see that pokemon must be quite the perfectionist..."
Cahya: (( I don't know if I evcer uploaded them tho ))

Tsunade:
"That, or I have the tendency to mess up WAY harder than the average buster..."

Yuumi:
Also ye I'll take that soup you offered, why not

Yuumi:
is it p gud

Tsunade:
it's sogood.gif

Yuumi:
"It's so goooood"

Tsunade:
Tsunade rests her head on her hand while sipping more tea. "Oh, I heard the legendary Celebi would be here...It's a little humbling to see her in such a remarkably human location."

Reika:
Reika sips her tea, "He is quite the perfectionist...he always has been..."

Tsunade:
"Well let me tell you; Out here, there's no such thing as a perfectionist. Just someone who hasn't got their feet dirty enough. After a while, you just learn how to settle...I sure know I had to."

Tsunade:
"Yes, I'm sure you must have had little regrets...minimal mistakes in life...for your comrade to be this spoiled. Either you're really good or just really good at hiding your mistakes, hmm?"

Yuumi:
"Ooh! Are you suggesting that I should try to be his trainer?"

Yuumi:
"I could screw up -really- bad if that'd help."

Reika:
"It's the way he was trained...he's still not entirely used to me..."

Yuumi:
Naaail.

Yuumi:
Take Celebi's coat.

Celebi:
"Hmm...am I the only one getting chills from this place? I guess I'm still not used to the environment...."

Yuumi:
"Feeling cold? Come try some of this - what did you call this soup again? Mmm!"

Celebi:
"Oh, thanks for the kind offering...still haven't changed your mind on the gift cards yet?"

Miyako:
"You mean the ones that'd be completely worthless in our current time?" Miyako says, waiting for her food.

Yuumi:
"Nah I think we're good on that. See? You can use REAL money ANYWHERE! Waiter, get me another bowl."

Hizu:
"Hmm...is it me, or did I see something sneaking in the back there...oh nevermind. Hey, I see you've taken a liking to Kuchi here. To be honest, she's a lot more excited here than she normally is...guess she really digs the food!"

Sunayama:
"On thee double!"

Reika:
"Despite everything, this tea is quite uplifting." Reika nods, "I'm very proud of us, as a team.."

Tsunade:
"The way he was trained, huh? You speak like you inherited him or something...which makes sense."

Celebi:
Celebi frowns. "These are really burning a hole through my pockets..."

Yuumi:
"C'mon! I saved a seat for ya. My treat." Yuumi pats the stool next to her. "Where're the twins?"

Miyako:
>your treat

Miyako:
bruh

Cahya:
"She is adorable! Even the way she eats! Why, it is making me want to gobble HER up!"
Reika: (( And then spiders pour out of her mouth. ))

Celebi:
"I grounded them for now. Tried calling their superior, but uh...she's surprisingly busy right now. I'm not sure what's going on with her...."

Celebi:
"Oh, and thanks..." Celebi grabs a filthy mortal seat

Yuumi:
that's the spirit

Kuchi:
https://33.media.tumblr.com/40ee2cb94eeb2713d0fde3570af82396/tumblr_inline_nkl744f55W1sk6c8b.png

Reika:
"Their superior...?" Reika's attention is caught by Celebi's passing remarks.

Yuumi:
"Just how high does the ladder go, I wonder?"

Hizu:
"Haha...well I do gotta say, she's getting just a little hard to please lately...say Kuchi, why don't you-"

Kuchi:
"*Yaaaawn* Nevermind, I'm satisfied and now totally tired...." Kuchi bangs her head on the table "ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzz"

Hizu:
"....so uh...are you just gonna stay there? Hello?"

Celebi:
"Yeah, you know. Rayquaza currently settles over in Kikyo Village, so I'm not sure what's taking her so long...then again, I heard she was planning something rather complex over there..."

Celebi:
"I'll have to get in contact with her again..."

Yuumi:
Yuumi shifts in her seat.

Reika:
Reika squeezes her tea cup with such force that it shatters in her hand. She stares blankly ahead, her eyes glazed over.

Cahya:
"Yaah! Her sleeping is extra cute! Wonderful! Ah! Wait!" Cahya tears her eyes off the mawloli to look back at Hizu, "You saw movement in the back, earlier?"

Tsunade:
Tsunade sips the rest of her Oolong. "Now, now, those kinds of tricks are dangrous. Don't wanna slice your hand or anything..."

Miyako:
"Hmph, to think beasts like them have a superior."

Yuumi:
Yuumi traps the water in midair and transfers it cleanly to another cup. "Yeah. Probably shouldn't have dropped the R word."

Hizu:
"Yeah, looked like uh...the people? I think two of them were chasing after someone....the one running away seemed really small and nimble..."

Miyako:
"...Is something wrong, Reika?"

Cahya:
"Ohya? Ah! I know who the small one must be! He will be fine! The other two I can only guess..."

Hizu:
"Of course, that's none of my business...so I'll just let them be. Probably some chefs that got lost here..."

Reika:
Reika inhales deeply as she unclenches her fist, her palm cut open quite badly from the crushed cup. "Excuse me..." She stands up rigidly, holding her hand so as not to drip onto the floor, "I need a moment..."

Celebi:
"...R-word? Rayquaza? What did she do this time..."

Miyako:
"..."

Yuumi:
"Craap that's not good." Yuumi looks over at Oldboy to gauge his reaction to the new knowledge.

Oldboy:
Oldboy has risen to a sitting position, staring straight out the door, almost statue-like.

Yuumi:
"To cut a long story short, Reika has... pretty justifiable grievances against Rayquaza. May or may not be out for revenge. May or may not be to the life or death."

Yuumi:
-to

Cahya:
"Ahh....Well! I cannot only watch the little one sleep...if you'll excuse me for a moment, I must get some food of my own!" now where's the 'back' anyway and how do i get to it

Yuumi:
"And I should probably get out there before she does something dumb. What direction was Kikyo? I may or may not have to run."

Miyako:
"...Guessing it must have...done something to the hound's previous master." She says, looking as Reika leaves.

Celebi:
Celebi taps the wooden counter. "Ah...oh...could that be about...."

Yuumi:
running around at the speed of slow

Celebi:
"But uh...Kikyo is quite a ways off from here. There's no way you could reach it in such a short notice on foot..."

Yuumi:
"You'd be surprised."
Reika: (( GOOD THING I HAVE A JETPACK, STORY POINT. ))

Yuumi:
ANYWAY YEAH I'M JUST GONNA

Celebi:
"To get to there, you'll have to go past the Aobame forest...(a forest made up for this game that resides on route 30) and that's been more than a little dangerous as of late..."

Yuumi:
I'M JUST GONNA FOLLOW.

Tsunade:
"Hey, wise legendary. She left already."

Celebi:
"Oh...well darn..."

Yuumi:
"Caught it! Good listener! That's canon~!"

Yuumi:
Reika: *HAS A 10 MILE HEAD START*

Celebi:
The legendary can't help but feel a little guilty in a strange way "I suppose I should follow too, before anything too reckless goes down..." Ok but where is Reika rn
tirkaroKujo:
And the "back" is, well, it's basically the map up there @Thrice
Cahya: (( can I get into there ))
MarthTrinity is disconnected.

Miyako:
"...Hmm..." Miyako gets up from her seat to head outside as well.

Miyako:
oh no
Cahya: (( I don't know if MT knows how this whole maptool thing works ))
MarthTrinity has connected.

Yuumi:
herro dere.
tirkaroKujo:
You can try and go there, in fact it's where the bathrooms are located too, so it'd be pretty invonvenient if you couldn't @thrice

Cahya:
aight
Cahya: (( I thankfully have no clue about why the hell yo uguys are pooping on the party and leaving ))

Yuumi:
"Reika! Come on, Reika, don't go running off on me!" hell'd you GO girl
Cahya: (( so Imma go up there I guess ))
Reika: (( I'm literally right outside the place ;~; ))

Yuumi:
I couldn't have known that

Yuumi:
I'm bringing your tea with me

Yuumi:
cupless

Yuumi:
he wouldn't let me take the cup
Reika: (( You're psychic though. ))

Ippongi:
"Gaaah...I can't do it...he's just too strong..." Ippongi seems to be a bloody mess, with needles and razor leaves sticking out from all over his clothing

Gen:
"Kaah...I'm done for...hey, is that..."

Yuumi:
"Reikaaa oh there you are. Hey."

Masa:
"Bu-but everything was going just swimmingly..."

Reika:
Reika stares off into the distance, her hand clenched and still dripping.

Yuumi:
"I, uh. Brought your tea. He wouldn't let me take the cup, so."

Cahya:
"Ahahya! I had a feeling it might be you two! Orochimaru is not so easy to capture! I know..."

Miyako:
"...You just recovered from harsh wounds yesterday. Try not to reopen them again." She says, as she walks up to the two.

Reika:
"...that monster is so close..."

Ippongi:
"It's you! The uh....person...who are you exactly?"

Yuumi:
"...Reika, I know what hearing that name must mean to you, but you need to simmer down."

Gen:
"Nevermind that! You're the one who helped knocked some sense into those legendaries before, right? You have to help us ca- gah, how did you even know we WERE chasing after that slippery demon?!"

Cahya:
"A little one told me! My, but what are you hunting him for?

Cahya:
"

Reika:
"I-...I don't know if I can, Yuumi."

Ippongi:
"*Pant* This..well, we snuck in a little to grab a lil bit o' grub, see...but ah, nevermind!"

Gen:
"This whole restaurant was a setup...or well, not directly, but...there's a reason why this grand opening has been so grandoise....have you noticed anything strange yet?"

Cahya:
"Ohhhh? Whatever do you mean? Is the food poisoned? I did not eat any!"

Yuumi:
"Hey, Celebi and the twins are nice enough! Maybe you can use that to your advantage!"

Reika:
"I couldn't trust them on this..." Reika shakes her head.

Gen:
"No, I mean, like...something about the air in here..and the energy...I remember this kind of aura from the days when I used to hunt Youkai..."

Yuumi:
"This really went from just talking about it to something that could actually happen pretty quickly, didn't it?"

Cahya:
"Oh, yes. Of course! That much is obvious! Ah, but I do not think Orochimaru the culprit. He was here, I believe, for another reason...:"

Miyako:
"So, what do you plan on doing? Tackle that...what was it's name? Ray..." Miyako holds back from saying the whole name. "...tackle that beast headfirst on your own?"

Gen:
"Could be...but it seems there's something here that he could easily use to his advantage..at least, that's the kind of reading I got from him..."

Ippongi:
"Along with, well, the fact that he seemed to have been scheming somethin' hard enough to find the need to stick my skin with dese needles..."

Ippongi:
"I don't like this love, I don't like this one bit..."

Cahya:
"Ahahya! He is gone now, is he not? He has lost his advantage! And you would not have caught him, even had I not interrupted you!"

Yuumi:
"Lemme fix your hands up at least, the tea's pretty cooled off by now." Yuumi moves the water with traces of leaf juice toward Reika's hands, imbuing it with positive thoughts. (Wish, I only get two of these a day, make it count)
Reika: (( How much does that heal me? ))
Miyako: (( half your health ))
Yuumi: (( 50% ye ))

Reika:
"Hmm..thank you, Yuumi. I suppose I let my emotions get the best of me there."

Gen:
"Hmm uh...maybe? Did he leave? Did we chase him off? Huh, maybe we did..."

Cahya:
"Aha! There are few ways to know! He could still be here...but you can chase him away again, yes?

Ippongi:
"Huh, I guess we really did, didn't we! Now, it's just a matter of escaping this place as well, because we're also being chased around by some head chef for 'borrowing' some grub."

Reika:
"I have little choice in the matter, Miyako." She shakes her head again, "I can't tell if it's pride or...I don't know...but I can't just allow this to pass..."

Gen:
"Hey, that's on you, not me...."

Ippongi:
"We ride together in this, aniki..."

Yuumi:
"I mean, I totally get it, but... honestly I thought you'd ran out here to sprint all the way to that village on your own."

Cahya:
"Aha! I will not report you! Go about your merry way!"
Cahya: (( but yeh it's been pretty obvious the whole the ))
Cahya: (( time* ))
Cahya: (( the Yokai is Sunayama ))

Reika:
Reika smiles faintly, "C'mon, Yuumi...I'm not -that- hardheaded...I-...I wouldn't stand a chance alone..."
Cahya: (( when enraged he'll turn into Sharkman.exe ))

Gen:
"Ahah, yes, so I think we sho-" But unfortunately Gen's words were stopped short by a loud thud coming from the main dining room.

Yuumi:
"Certainly not without Oldboy!" And look who's here

Cahya:
"Hoooya?" Cahya flips and prances back into the dining room, "Has this tale reached an interesting page?!"

Miyako:
"This supposed monster is the superior of the beasts we fought yesterday, and you saw what they did to you and your hound. You would have not made it if all of us were not there. Do you honestly think you could stand a chance against it?"
Cahya: (( So yeah it's either Sunoyama or Sentret ))

Miyako:
"I understand your desire for vengeance all too well...but I hope you know there's a big difference between bravery and foolishness."
Cahya: (( damn, questionmarkymaru ))
Cahya: (( my greatest nemesis ))
Miyako: (( what happened to Celebi, I thought she was gonna follow us ))
Cahya: (( Turns out Orochimaru is a Ninja, and that Celebi is Grass/FAiry ))
Cahya: (( he one-hit kills her ))

Gen:
You would understand why, but nobody was in the place at the time to get the full context (gst)

Cahya:
"Oh, yaaay! So many cute little ones here today!"
Cahya: (( well we all know why ))
Cahya: (( he's houndin on Celebi's ass ))
Cahya: (( wants that grass booty ))

Celebi:
"Wh-what is this all about....who is responsible for this!?" Celebi seems to be greatly weakened, her legendary aura all but drained away.

Reika:
"I know I couldn't...I know I'm not strong enough for that..."

Orochimaru:
Orochimaru turns around. "Ah, on such short notice, too. I'm glad you could make it, Cahya of the Chitin Clan."

Hizu:
"Aaah! Are we gonna die!?"

Yuumi:
"Theere's the ol' lumpafur. Feeling better, buddy?" Yuumi rubs against the Arcanine who's seen fit to rejoin the party.

Tsunade:
"Jiraiya sure does fancy being late, does he? It's a good thing we got lucky enough to pull this off with just the two of us..."

Cahya:
"Ahya! Oh, I would not miss it for the world!" She directs her eyes toward the oddly drawn man, "No, no, you are fine! I could not let harm come to darling Kuchi or her companions!"

Kuchi:
the mawile is still somehow asleep

Cahya:
"Now...What are you doing with poor little one Celebi?"

Oldboy:
Oldboy seems to have come to his senses and snapped out of his sour mood. Bark.

Orochimaru:
"Don't worry. I've bound this place so that Celebi can't leave. But we're not done yet. It seems her aura is more powerful than expected. If she refuses to do as we say, we'll be crashing this entire building. With no survivors."

Celebi:
"You...cruel snake..."

Miyako:
"Hmm, I suppose you two really are friends after all or at the very least have a strong bond in someway." She smiles slightly looking at the canine.

Reika:
"We share the same love...that's the bond that keeps us together." She steps over to Oldboy and strokes his mane, "It's the bond that keeps us dedicated to our mission, regardless of the odds..."

Cahya:
"My, oh my! No survivors...Ah! But that would include me! And little Kuchi! Celebi is truly restricted!"

Tsunade:
"I'm not sure if even you could do that, Orochimaru. How do you plan on ensuring our little situation here is safe and secure?"

Cahya:
"Hmm..for what reason do you want to take the little one? What did she do wrongly?"

Yuumi:
"Alright, now how about we go bond over s'more of that soup? We sorta left in a hurry, folks should know you're okay."
Cahya: (( naw man, there's only two enemies ))
Cahya: (( It's just me and the Mawile ))
Cahya: (( if yu guys came it'd be too easy ))

Orochimaru:
"Oh she's done plenty wrong, no matter how much she'll try and erase them from the past. But that's not exactly why we're here."
Yuumi: (( I expect the building to collapse as we try. ))

Reika:
Reika's face blushes red, "Oh...I'm sorry...I entirely forgot why we were here in the first place..I'm so embarrass-...are you still holding my tea?"

Cahya:
"Hayah? What do you need her for, then?:

Orochimaru:
"But first...MOKUTON!" Orochimaru pulls of a hand sign, causing a few sproutlings to seed up from around the building.

Yuumi:
"Ha, I was! I really need water to use any of my techniques, though, so I sorta already used it to fix up your hands there. Sorry."

Cahya:
"Ahyah...do you not want me to know all the strands of this weave?"

Miyako:
"Yare yare, at least you have your head on straighter than I thought. Your quest for revenge isn't exactly any of my business, but...try not to go swords swinging when you reach your destination is what I'm saying. Don't let any lives lost be in vain."

Miyako:
>bellsprouts

Bellsprout:
"Bellsprout!"

Noshizoki:
"Awww, hey look...they're kinda cute!"

Miyako:
I forgot, what city was this again in Pokemon
Cahya: (( Oh god. ))
Cahya: (( Level 40 Bellsprout. ))
Yuumi: (( maybe. ))

Reika:
"Oh, that's quite alright. It would appear as though milk tea is not highly sought after among the snooty tea aficionados."
Yuumi: (( maaaybe. ))

Reika:
"So I'm sure there's plenty more."

Tsunade:
"Well, I could tell you, but I think we're soon getting a special guest that'll explain it all in far more detail...hey wait, what are you doing there, Orochimaru? This wasn't in the plan..."

Bellsprout:
"Bell...*death metal voice* SPROUUUUUUT" the sproutlings seem to multiply at an incredibly rapid singularity of a pace, forming a giant tree from under the ristorante

Cahya:
"Is that the Jiraiya you spoke so fondly of? Hmmm...."

Cahya:
"Hah? Eh? What is that noise?"

Noshizoki:
"WOOOOOAAAAAAHHH SWEET JIRACHIIIII!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" The water keeper gets caught up in one of the vines.

Tsunade:
"Ghrr!" Tsunade struggles to keep a grip on the floor. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!?"

Yuumi:
"Hyeh? What's goi- whoOAAA, that's not normal!"

Yuumi:
"The heck's going on in there?!"

Cahya:
"Aaahahaha! It is like I am flying, but backwards! Ooh, I enjoy this!"

Reika:
"I'm going to guess more than a free meal..."

Maya:
The Beedrill meanwhile doesn't enjoy the ground coming up to meet it
Reika: (( I just realized I really like Bellsprout. ))

Miyako:
"...What on earth...? Hiryu, get ready..."

Orochimaru:
Orochimaru is deep in meditaton. "I'm using this as assurance... and in case anything breaks...I'm sure Jiraiya can find his way up this...."

Orochimaru:
Soon the entire building, as well as a few surrounding buildings, are held up stupidly high by a tree that stretches over the horizon

Orochimaru:
U R here

Yuumi:
Cahya is?

Maya:
>Surrounding buildings

Yuumi:
I mean

Orochimaru:
They're not buildings noted on the map itself

Maya:
So it's me, Kuchi, Gen, Ippongi

Yuumi:
we ain't in no buildings

Maya:
and Marona.

Reika:
"What sort of power could manage this...?!"

Tsunade:
"What kind of assurance is THIS!? Wow, we're pretty high up here..." The ground is now utterly in tatters, and is broken apart by vines and branches everywhere
Reika: (( WE WERE OBVIOUSLY CRUSHED TO DEATH BY DEBRIS ))
Reika: (( BAD END ))

Ippongi:
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" the sneaky sneaks from before have been dumped from the back room to the dining room as well

Yuumi:
"Shoot, it's starting to break up the ground - Reika, what do we do?! Cahya's still in there!"

Yuumi:
while the tree's still growing of course, and we'd have a chance to jump onto it

Ippongi:
Sure let's go w/ that

Cahya:
oh please

Cahya:
this is a good chance to get rid of me

Cahya:
Yuumi's the LEAST likely to care.

Yuumi:
You are a threat to others and yourself

Yuumi:
but mostly others.

Cahya:
"Oh! You two! You made it back?"

Reika:
"Well, we can't just leave her behind...and power of this magnitude...can it really be the work of just a normal Pokemon..?"

Cahya:
"Ah! Yes! Your time is running out, little one! Answer me, please? Celebi, or teh two...hmm...which is correct?"

Celebi:
"What a vile act...how did you even pull this off? I mean...why would you care so much for my power anyway...?"

Yuumi:
I think the opportunity to jump has passed.

Gen:
"Geeh....this REALLY isn't good...it seems this is a bigger deal than we thought! Ow...I ache so much..."
Reika: (( Welp, let's move on to the next town. ))

Yuumi:
"Gaah, too much!" Yuumi scrambles away from the tree, narrowly stumbling around the cracks and chasms created by the roots while being pelted with debris

Orochimaru:
"Hrmph. Well, I do have you to thank a little for this Cahya. Without you, I wouldn't have had the assistance of these two fellows to help out....but I suppose at this point they're overkill..."

Aimu:
"I'm scared..."
Miyako: (( where are the Bellsprout exactly? ))
Miyako: (( like at the bottom of the tree? ))

Maya:
Buhdreel is gettin fed up with waiting. Its dreels start to spin faster and faster as it tries to find a target to stab. Women are like that, always trying to kill something or other.

Aimu:
The Bellsprout have long isnce absorbed themselves into the tree

Cahya:
"Huwheh? The old men, you mean? I cannot think how I could have given them to you...why, I never had them in the first place!"
Miyako: (( o ))

Reika:
"Grr...I can't do anything from down here...the whole place would go up in flames if I tried to take out the tree..."

Cahya:
and then Gen goes full white and totally depressed, saying "O-old men...?"

Ippongi:
"Y-yeah....how were we responsible!?"

Gen:
"I'm not old yet..."
Miyako: (( hmm is it really too late to jump ))

Orochimaru:
"No, no, no. Not you two. The other two." Suddenly, crashing down from the ceiling are two other conspirators in this event.
Yuumi: (( it's been at least 15 minutes. ))

Orochimaru:
Probably not no

Orochimaru:
bout 5 seconds in anime time
Yuumi: (( that QTE is over as far as I'm concerned ))

Reika:
"Oldboy! We have to head up!"
tirkaroKujo:
Well ok fine if u insist

Miyako:
"Hmph..." Miyako then attempts to jump onto the dream while it's still growing! 23
Cahya: (( i don't see anyone ))
Yuumi: (( srsly though if you want to jump next time, just jump - like hell Yuumi's going to be the first to ))
Cahya: (( now we're gonna steamroll the encounter (sad) ))

Hiryu♂:
21 Instinctively following
Cahya: (( It's already easy enough with Cahya completely destroying Orochimaru ))

Miyako:

Gebozo:
"HUT! GEBOZO!" A large man crashes into the building, wrecking everything below him.

Yuumi:
WELP THERE GOES EVERYTHING.

Nakai:
"Haaa....NAKAI!" A woman pops under the ground, and sends a gracefully spun barbed wire careening around the bug lady, trapping her in a wrap!

Miyako:
Both of those checks were Acro btw; assuming we make it?
Cahya: (( nakki is a ? ))
Cahya: (( aaaand Oldboy falls to his death. ))

Gebozo:
Everything over 20 makes it...halfway

Oldboy:
Oldboy tries to jump up the tree, but it's too narrow for the large dog.
Cahya: (( Also, I'm assuming this is Warlordian ladder checks ))
Cahya: (( miss one, fall all the way back down and take falling damage ))

Miyako:
tirk pls no

Cahya:
"...Ah! Yes, now I understand! You are members of the Chitin Clan as well, yes?"

Gebozo:
"WHAT? US? MEMBERS OF YOUR DIRTY CLAN?! OF COURSE NOT!"

Nakai:
"Kaaaa....we heard there was a Chitin clan member around here, so we'll enact our revenge one way or another...."

Miyako:
"...Tch! Halfway there...gotta go higher!" 20 If nothing's stopping me from attempting second half of tree.

Hiryu♂:
14 That 20 was a fluke last time wasn't it
Cahya: (( >Over 20 ))
Cahya: (( get rekt ))

Yuumi:
"Well, at least one of us made it..."

Hiryu♂:
so uh what happens if you fail

Orochimaru:
"Ah, yes...they were rather cooperative when they heard they could have the head of a chitin clanswoman...seems you've done them wrong in the past somehow..."
Cahya: (( You didn't make it halfway up before Hiryu, it was OVER 20 ))

Yuumi:
u die
Cahya: (( not 20 or over ))

Hiryu♂:
It was a 21 lol
Cahya: (( oh nvm you just mistyped your roll you had 21 ))

Yuumi:
indeed

Reika:
"Gah..it's too steep and narrow of a climb for Oldboy..."

Yuumi:
He mistyped nothing

Yuumi:
ur just dum

Cahya:
> That 20 was a fluke last time wasn't it
Cahya: (( come on m8, invest in Wis ))
Cahya: (( I just need MORe wis. ))
tirkaroKujo:
Anyway, by the halfway point, you come across, well, a giant frog resting on a branch. It seems to be quite a slippery roadblock.

Yuumi:
"I'm not exactly decked out for climbing myself!"

Yamagama:
"Grrr...grr...gero....Why do they have to make things so much harder for me?" sounds out a muffled voice from within.

Cahya:
"Aaaahhhh? My, I wonder which clan...Ah! But no matter! This decides my side! Whether or not you are in the right, I cannot join the side who wishes me dead!"

Yuumi:
"...but... hold on."

Miyako:
"...Really?!" There no alternative way around it?

Yuumi:
what is this

Yuumi:
be this a well
Reika: (( IT'S A PIT OF VIPERS. ))

Yamagama:
There is a way around it, but y'know, it requires going around the other side, and are you unlazy enough for that

Yuumi:
Bounce OFF the frog.

Cahya:
"As the future second seat of the Chitin Clan, I must purge all those who would stand against Aruna and I!"
Reika: (( Just HIT THE FROG REALLY HARD. ))

Miyako:
is his skin really that slippery
Reika: (( Also he looks -high as fuck- ))

Yuumi:
He is
Cahya: (( or asleep. ))

Yuumi:
The tree's a few hundred feet tall at least.
Reika: (( "Brooooooooo...I'm like....a frog man....but not a frog, who is a man...bruuuuuuh..." ))
Cahya: (( my haaaands are soo weiiirdd... ))

Miyako:
I could go around it, but that's boring
Maya has received initiative.

Miyako:
Can I...break the branch he's standing on?

Miyako:
Using my sand with enough force?

Maya:
Fuck these bozos can't I go kill Orochimaru

Yuumi:

Maya:

Gebozo:
"You cretin...your clan was directly responsible for the deaths of our parents and elders! We'll never forgive you!"

Gebozo:
and yeah, you can.
Cahya: (( Well Orochimaru is probably faster than Maya (waiting) ))

Masamune (Dewott):
"Dew?"
Cahya: (( he's just not on the init ))
Reika: (( Dewgonggongong. ))

Cahya:
"Was it? Well, that isn't my concern. At the moment, I am not a part of the current Chitin Clan!"\

Yamagama:
And Yamagama seems to be lazily resting about "C'mon, you stupid thing! I pay you with all this food, and this is what I get in return!?"

Maya:
Well if I get the jump on Ochi for some reason, Imma kill his snakadoodle

Miyako:
"What a nuisance..." She does just that, as she lifts her arms, creating a sandy...lets go with spear. She then throws her arm down, crashing down on the branch the frog is standing on!

Yuumi:
Yuumi grabs one of the larger bits of wreckage and places it over the well. "Going to need a clean cut here! Right to the edges!"

Orochimaru:
"If I were you, I'd advise concentrating on the fight at hand..."

Maya:
Eat my ass, you piss me off more than those niggas 13 6 The spinning drills pierce itno the snake by missing entirely!

Yuumi:
"Reika, how much do you weigh? Don't fib, it's important!"

Maya:
3d8+10 | 50

Maya:
I will never actually Poison anything with that move

Maya:
but hey, it's Bug type

Yuumi:
probably not

Maya:
which is SE

Yamagama:
The toad begins to slip and fall, but easily regains his balance by leaping to another branch. "Gero?"

Miyako:
Is it still in the way of my path up?

Reika:
"H-..how much do I weigh? Well, 118...but I'm on a diet, I promise...!"
Maya: (( unless you're 12 inches tall that's a pretty lowish weight ))

Yamagama:
No, not anymore, but it seems angrey
Maya: (( u tryin to be Scarlett ))

Miyako:
"...Works for me." Miyako continues her jump upward then! Hopefully making it by then.

Yuumi:
"Good enou- really? That's all? I'd have thought you'd be a bit more with your muscle, but- 118, got it!"

Tsutanda:
The serperior proclaims its serperiority by just taking normal damage

Tsutanda:
Tsutanda took 32 damage.

Reika:
"H-..how heavy do I look?!" Reika's blush increases.

Tsutanda:
"KAAAAAHHH!" Tsutanda seems really ticked off now

Orochimaru:
"Oh...is that really how you're going to play this? And i do so much for you people..."

Miyako:
did you want me to roll another acro check or

Masamune (Dewott):
"Dew!" Masa makes it a clean cut, a perfect circle sized straight for the well!
Maya: (( drat, it could be literally any type possible ))
Maya: (( they all resist Bug ))

Yuumi:
"It's a compliment! I dunno, 125, 130?"

Orochimaru:
yeah roll another acro check

Miyako:
23

Hiryu♂:
20 pls

Cahya:
"Aha...my Pokemon will attack what it wishes to!"
Cahya: (( get rekt ))

Yuumi:
Yuumi shoves the circle down, getting it an inch or so into the well. "But that doesn't matter, we're getting you up there one way or another! "

Nakai:
"Like you can simply ignore us...!" Nakai leaps off the nearby garden and her gauntlet begins to crack and sparkle. "RESTRAINT..." she launches a WAVE of THUNDER right at Cahya!

Reika:
"130...?" the corners of Reika's eyes swell up with tears before she snaps back to reality, "Right! And what of you? Will you be alright down here?"

Yamagama:
Yamagama seems to climb up along with you, giving you the stink eye as you progress upwards.

Cahya:
"Ahahya...you are small time, little ones. I shall defeat you at my leisure! The strong ones are my important foes."

Yuumi:
"But for now..." Yuumi concentrates on the water inside the well, compressing it bit by bit. 22 Intuition check. : |

Orochimaru:
"Oh please. Do you REALLY think I'd put myself in harm's way like this?"

Cahya:
Bug-typed, as per usual (sad)

Cahya:
"Ahaha! I do not know!"

Yuumi:
"Pressure's building up inside, I'll need to adjust the angle very slightly on the way up - you don't have a Flying Pokemon, do you?"

Reika:
"I do not, no.."

Yuumi:
"Alright - Uki!"

Ukiuki:
Healed up! Recovered 50 HP.
Cahya: (( he was one to the left - the attack hit both of them ))
Cahya: (( due to being a close blast 2 ))

"Gaaaaahk! Why did I agree to thiiiis!?!?!" The Ninja goes falling to the ground

Yuumi:
"Extra set of hands for ya. He'll find a branch to grab for sure."

Tsutanda:
Tsutanda took 39 damage.

Tsutanda:
The injury lowered the Speed stat!

Yuumi:
"I'll account for the extra weight..."

Tsunade:
"Oh...clever move...simply having a lackey disguise himself as well...himself....I wonder how he was able to pull off the voice so well though...."
Reika: (( Do you -want- the frog to do something? I doubt you wanna get tongue'd gurl ))

Orochimaru:
"That's because I was speaking for him, of course."

Reika:
"L-..like this?"

Yuumi:
Yuumi uses 2 AP!

Gebozo:
....before finally busting out of his roll, and using his momentum to deliver a brutal kick to Cahya! 7

Yuumi:
"Just like that! NOW!" 31

Gebozo:

Cahya:
Cahya took 29 damage.

Gebozo:
The force of the impact of course sends you flying really, really hard

Yuumi:
Yuumi releases the water all at once, sending it rocketing out at incredible speeds towards the sky, carrying Reika on the makeshift wooden platform

Miyako:
Guessing I can assume I make it then with your no response, tirk...?
tirkaroKujo:
make what

Miyako:
The jump..?
Cahya: (( w-wait but that's Circle Throw not Low Sweep ))
tirkaroKujo:
oh well yeah those obviously make it @TWILT

Yuumi:
Yuumi gives it a spin on the way up to give it some gyroscopic stability
tirkaroKujo:
and this low sweep does

Miyako:
all you gave is that the frog gave me the look and I dunno

Yuumi:
And also to make it spin.
Cahya: (( does it also lower my Speed ))
Cahya: (( like Low Sweep normally does ))

Maya:

Maya:
I guess I gotta stay on the rails here

Maya:
and attack the people I have the least amount of reason to attack

Miyako:
"Tch, come on, just leave me alone..."

Reika:
"I-...I feel ill..." Reika mutters as she rockets through the air, her eyes glazed over again.

Miyako:
y'know, we should probably be on skype right now

Tsutanda:
Where are you a- oh there I see you

Yamagama:
From right over you however, the FROG busts through the vine-covered ceiling and right into your heart. "Urgh...it took FOREVER to get up here!"

Yamagama:
and naw I cant skype rn

Maya:
0 I guess I'll take my chances then

"For the love of..." Miyako looks back and forth, wondering what she should be focusing on.

Tsunade:
"Hmm? Oh, hey there...I didn't see you come in. Or any of you...you sure are resilient, aren't you?"

Yuumi:
alright, so are there any obviously lengthy, but nonetheless functional routes

Miyako:
"Nevermind that. The hell is going on here? Where's the enemy?"

Tsunade:
Yeah, probably a few

Tsunade:
Like a large offshoot running upwards, but the final path to where the restaurant lies requires a good jump

Yuumi:
I have faith in Oldboy.

Miyako:
good luk

Hizu:
"Oh hey...it's the rest of you..."

Reika:
Reika somehow makes it up there due to Yuumi's ridiculous tactic. "NEVER. AGAIN." she exclaims, panting heavily. "I-...I didn't think I was going to be able to jump off it was going so fast..."

Aimu:
"GAAAH! Everything is crashing in today! I just wanted to eat a little...."

Kuchi:
"ZZzzzzzZZzz"

Ukiuki:
Uki brushes some brush out of Reika's hair and chomps down on a juicy caterpillar that was crawling inside.

Ukiuki:
"Ukiki!"

Reika:
"O-...okay...so -what- exact-...what are you doing?!"

Yuumi:
Yuumi climbs on top of the picky Arcanine and points out the branch that spirals up. "Come on, boy! We're going to be late to the party!"

Gebozo:
I should note that in the resulting aftermath of the large Mokuton jutsu, the back room is tilted downwards

Tsunade:
"Oh, hey....long story, see..."
Maya: (( downwards as in what ))
Maya: (( also it's uh, Maya's turn ))

Reika:
"I was actually yelling at the Aipom..." she places the Aipom on the ground, "Now...exactly what is going on here?"
Maya: (( er, Nakai ))
Nakai: (( yes yes, hold on, I was just brainstorming something to myself ))

Nakai:
Nakai fastens her electric gauntlets. "Kuh....I thought this was supposed to prevent anyone from interfering!"

Nakai:
Nakai tries to wrestle with the giant bee, and delivers it a swift thunder shock 12

Nakai:
1d8+6 | 25

Maya:
That is a horrible move but it hits

Maya:
Maya took 8 damage.

Maya:
The bee raises a nonexistent eyebrow, then revs up its dreels in preparation for some disproportionate retribution

Cahya:
"Ahyah...this is not a good sign for me!"

Cahya:

Miyako:
"Celebi...? What happened to you...? There, what? What?!"

"So just as you said, you had no intentions of being friends or allies...you're a group of busters out for yourselves.."
Yuumi: (( so shall Oldboy and I get up there in I dunno 6 rounds? ))
Yuumi: (( fuk ))
Miyako: (( I'm...really confused who's in combat since I only see 4 people in the initiative. ))

Celebi:
"Orochimaru drained my power...and seems to want me gone for good...I guess this is what it's come to..."

Cahya:
pay attention to the actual exhange of blows

Cahya:
Snakey and Tsunny haven't actually done anything
Cahya: (( and neither have Gen and Ippongi for some reason ))

Tsunade:
"Yeah, you have it right there. So, what do you plan on doing about it, huh?"

Cahya:
Imma kill you if you don't kill me, bozo

Yuumi:
aw fuck Reika actually has conflicting moralities here

Yuumi:
maybe she actually wants to help out the SlugSnakeFroge trio take out all the legends

Tsunade:
"Tell me, do you have any idea what you're doing? Or what we're doing, for that matter? I could give you the short version, or the long one...."
Cahya: (( okay ninja turtle I a mfuckin crippled right now literally crippled and I'm still not as slow as your fat ass ))

Gebozo:
"FUNYAAAAAAAAAAA" Gebozo grabs Cahya by the neck and begins to stampede off. "SEISMIC....TOSS...!" 3

Ukiuki: (( save one for later, TWILT ))
Maya: (( You can't use them specifically to attack with ))
Reika: (( Well yeah, I just threw them out there at default size ))
Maya: (( people have to move ))

Celebi:
"You can't use time for that reason....you're not supposed to change the past like that..."
Maya: (( To trigger them ))

Tsunade:
"Oh, I know. What do you take me for?"
Maya: (( Within 2 meters of a rock ))
Imperius has received initiative.

Gebozo:

Gebozo:

Maya: (( m ))
Maya: (( take ur confusion damage (D) ))
Maya: (( Though I guess tha twould've been the AC check. ))

Gebozo:

Maya: (( So just unhurt Gen ))
Miyako: (( struggle attack and you resist it ))
Ukiuki: (( Confusion damage is DB 4 ))
Ukiuki: (( and ye ))

Gebozo:

Ukiuki: (( I guess it's higher if you have high Combat ))
Maya: (( it's a struggle attack - it goes up if you have high combat ))

Gen:
Gen is healed and gains 24 hit points.

Gen:
....but Gen narrowly dodges the kick!

Reika:
"Well now that those rocks are up, we've got time. Why not tell me the long version of your little plan?"

Kuchi:
"ZZZzzzzZZZzz"
Reika has received initiative.
Hiryu♂ has received initiative.

Ukiuki has received initiative.

Maya:

Maya:
but that'd trigger an AoO : |
Ukiuki: (( is Nakai holding anything shiny ))

Tsunade:
"Heh, you really just want a description? Well, I can only give my side of the story..."

Nakai:
She's holding Ryo and those gauntlets are kinda shiny I guess

Ukiuki:
ooh.

Reika:
"All I want to know is what drives someone to these lengths..."

Ukiuki:
12 Knock Off
Maya: (( no Uki, you can't steal nick's great-great-great-great grandmother's shit ))

Ukiuki:
2d6+10 | 33
Maya: (( sorry m8 ))
Maya: (( held items or accessories only ))
Maya: (( Though I guess those are accessories, not weapons, techncially ))

Ukiuki:
They are indeed.
Maya: (( I mean they're obv weapons fluffwise ))
Maya: (( but, going strictly mechanically which we never do, they're accessories ))
Maya: (( actually mechanically they do not exist ))

Ukiuki:
Besides I just geysered Reika 2000 feet in the air

Tsunade:
"You want to get personal, huh? Well I'm afraid I can't do that. This setting is far too impersonal for that."

Ukiuki:
we're beyond the book

Ukiuki:
So I'm just gonna take her shiniest shiny and dodge around for a bit.

Tsunade:
"Non-personally, however, we're simpyl usurping power from these legendaries, and putting them to better use."
Thrice: (( >usurpers ))
Thrice: (( where do i sign up ))
Thrice: (( said yuumiyako ))

Tsunade:
*simply :^|

Reika:
"So you've got a literal god-complex. How cliche.."

Nakai:
"Gaaaah! My precious weapons!"

Ukiuki: (( Have you -ever- hit?" ))
Ukiuki: (( -" ))
Cayce: (( Cayce has hit every attack she's made outside this fight (waiting) ))
Ukiuki: (( You know as well as I do that only your last three attacks matter. ))

Gen:
"I'm sorry Cahya....I suppose this is my fault..for not dealing with these monsters earlier..."
Reika: (( I know his token is Mitsurugi, but I can only read his lines in Bang's voice. ))

Gen:
Gen leaps into the air, and grabs a handy kitchen knife to stab the back of his palm. The bloodied hand then glows with an awesome power...

Gen:
Gen uses 2 AP!

Gen:
4 "FINAL GAMBIT!"

Gen:
Gen loses 82 hit points.
Reika: (( HE JUST GIVES THE OPPONENT AIDS. ))

Gebozo:
Gebozo loses 82 hit points.

Ukiuki:
u probably didn't need to use that
Reika: (( Dramatics. ))

Gebozo:
"BLAAAARRUUGUGHGHHGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Gebozo's armor shatters, and his entire body goes careening down through the floor...

Miyako:
"Reika, are you almost done talking yet?" She turns to Tsunade. "Let Celebi go now. Or else." Miyako says, still controlling those sandy rocks.

Gebozo:
and tumbling down the tree itself. Oh and what a long tumble it is.

Cahya:
"Ahyaha...none are to blame! It is no more your fault than mine or theirs! There is no sense in mourning or regre---Wha?! Ah! Large one!"

Yuumi:
"Eh? Do you hear that, Oldboy?"

Tsunade:
"I'll be willing to bond with you personally, though. So long as you agree to bond with me in the most...personal of environments." Tsunade says to Reika.
Reika: (( Are....are you hitting on me? ))

Yuumi:
yes. Yes she is.

Tsunade:
"Yes...." she bares her weirdly wicked fangs. "The battlefield! Where we'll truly duel as the warriors we are!"

Cahya:
"That sacrifice...it may not have been entirely warranted."

Reika:
Reika exhales, "Oh, the battlefield. I thought you were going somewhere really creepy with that..."

Tsunade:
"And there, you'll see...perhaps me and you aren't that different after all...."

Cahya:
go nakki, it's your turn little one

Nakai:
"Kah! Little brother! I heard him falling through the tree!"

Yuumi:
Potential replacement lovers Reika has turned down: 1.

Nakai:
"You'll pay...you'll all pay for that...!" Naka grabs her gauntlets again, and begins to supercharge herself. "This..this will be my final move to take you all down! KAAAAAAH!"

Yuumi:
"Look out, something's coming down the tree!" ROLL ACRO OLDBOY, ROLL ACRO FOR BOTH OF US

Yamagama:
But before she can avenge anyone, the freg crushes both her and the assasin at her back

Ippongi:
"Ow....but it's a deserved pain..."

Reika:
"I'd much rather avoid hostages and-...that is a very large frog right there."

Miyako:
"...Oh crap, almost forgot about him..."

Gebozo:
"WOOOAOAOOAOAOAOAAAAAH"

Maya:
we're halfway theeeeere

Oldboy:
13

Gebozo:
you narrowly scrape by, but you're slowed down slightly by this mess

Yamagama:
"Oh me, oh man, what's going on here? Oh, I see how it is. Orochimaru? You've been a really bad boy, making me climb all the way up here! AND making those two kids do your dirty work!"

Tsunade:
"Ah...the boss is here. Quite an ensemble cast we have here."

Yuumi:
"Phew! Close one, nice reflexes there!" Yuumi stares down at the ninja turtle rolling aaall the way down, before shrugging and moving on. "He'll be fine. He has all that armor to cushion the blow!"

Gen:
"*Cough* Don't...don't mind me...just save everyone else...."

Kan:
"Odd...."

Reika:
"Hrmm...was hoping to keep you talking until Yuumi and Oldboy arrived, but no so much it seems..."

Tsunade:
"Is that what this was all about? Hmm...how unusually dishonorable..."

Cahya:
"Ah, yes..."

Yuumi:
We're almost theeeere

Yamagama:
"Honor...justice...these are all imaginary concepts anyway!"

Yamagama:
And yeah you're probably here by now

Yamagama:
now that the round counter is done for

Cayce:
Cayce picks up Cahya and holds her over her head, then dashes into the other room
Cayce: (( is the init supposed to have been cleared ))
Cayce: (( bc it is ))

Yamagama:
Yeah it is

Yuumi:
"Whoo! I've never BEEN this high!"

Cayce:
baby i can show you a plant that'll change your life forever

Kuchi:
"ZZZZzzzzz"

Kuchi:
she snoozes, even with all the frog-induced rubble around her

Yuumi:
"Thanks for the lift, Oldboy, good hustle!"

Yamagama:
"This was certainly a more difficult task than I thought! But no matter! Consider I, the gallant Jiraiya, the master of backup plans! Parairo parairo!"

Cayce:
Cayce plops her katawa shoujo trainer down on the floor, then starts to strike a fighting pose before realizing that nobody is even figvhting anymore, and becomes really depressed.

Radio Nyarth:
NOW PLAYING Dance of the Lion (Title) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wziV7i-nuJQ

Yuumi:
"Uh... wow. There's a lot of people in here. Were you all here before?"

Yamagama:
"Now bear witness upon the emissary of hell! Your true nightmare!"

Cahya:
"Ohya...A-ah! The little one still sleeps?! Ah, for what reason has the frog's bell tolled?"

Sunayama:
"Well, this is a restaurant! I should be flattered we're getting all this attention...y'know, if it wasn't for the whole tree and senseless violence and mass destruction angle."

Yuumi:
"Hey, Tsunade-san, what's with the big frog guy? That kinda sounds like the one you were looking for! ...did he make the tree?"

Reika:
"Watch out for that one, Yuumi."

Cahya:
"The tree was Orochimaru's doing! Hm, but it seems that he was never here to begin with..."

Orochimaru:
Orochimaru drops down from a hiding spot in the ceiling. "Hey, hey. Don't give Jiraiya credit for my masterworks. He couldn't do something like this to save his life."

Tsutanda:
"Kss....."

Yamagama:
Yamagama opens his mouth, finally putting on full display the gallant man speaking all this time. "This truly will be the battle of a lifetime!"

Cahya:
>Ippongi was jiraiya the whole time
Cahya: (( perfect ))

Yuumi:
"Ehhh? What's wrong, Reika? Wait, don't tell me - the obvious bad guys were the bad guys the WHOLE TIME?!"

Jiraiya:
"Oh....wow, this place really IS a wreck! What a shame, what a shame...it's almost as ugly as Orochimaru here!"

Yuumi:
lel

Cahya:
"Ah, yes, they are evil! Slightly more evil than us!"

Orochimaru:
"Keep trying your luck there...."

Cahya:
"Ah! But those two...they are so much cuter than us!"

Tsunade:
"Ah, boys...you'll be the death of me someday...."

Yuumi:
"THAT'S A GUY?!"

Cahya:
"Yes! Isn't he wonderful?"

Reika:
"Well yes, it's quite clearly a guy, Yuumi."

Jiraiya:
"Wh- YES! Of course I am! Are you blinded and deafened by my radiance or something?"

Jiraiya:
"Aahh...I must keep my cool in these situations..."

Jiraiya:
"What matters now is that I...the Gallant Jiraiya...shall strike you down!"

Yuumi:
"I think he has more make-up on than everyone in the room combined..."

Sentret:
(==== To Be Continued....====>

Miyako:
"...And they put YOU on my team, yare yare..."

Miyako:
oh snap it's 3AM

Yuumi:
"How does it even STAY on? Didn't he just come out of that frog?"

Cahya:
"Ahya! Do not be angry at his natural beauty! We may never match up, but we can still admire!"

Reika:
"I'm glad I don't follow your definition of 'beauty'..."

Jiraiya:
I, the gallant Jiraiya, grant you all 3 trainer points! Not for anything you did in the session before seeing me, no, it's entirely just from bearing witness upon my form

Jiraiya:
Too bad I'll kill you all before you can make use of it

Reika:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Tdu4uKSZ3M

Cahya:

Cahya:

Jiraiya:
I was going to give pokemon exp to Maya and Cayce but uh....did they do anything

Cahya:

Ukiuki:
Maya got a Twinneedle in

Ukiuki:
Probably did as much damage as my Knock Off.

Jiraiya:
Oh right I guess she did

Cahya:
Maya did most of the damage to Tsutanda

Cahya:

Cahya:
Twineedle hit tho

Cahya:
Cayce did nothing at all

Cahya:
b/c miss
Cahya: (( Echoes of the future is looking good. But I want to be able to contribute. ))

Jiraiya:

Jiraiya:

Ukiuki:

Ukiuki:
Ukiuki gained 90 experience! (720) Level up! Gained 1 levels. Level 24

Ukiuki:
