01[21:08:06] <Botherer> It's, uhh... Well, it's some time since your storyteller's completely lost all sense of time in the scape of this campaign. As one by one you all descend into the Dreamscape, you find Mother Swanna talking to a young girl; remotely approaching her makes it painfully obvious that her face is one of confusion, if not curiosity and intrigue. Incoming disaster time? Incoming disaster time.
03[21:08:35] * Aori_Radidjiu is now known as Murphy
[21:08:48] <Lecia> Disaster is fun! And Lecia is, obviously, still the traumatized little girl. Less so than the initial trauma, but she's still noticably less cheery, completely preoccupied with notes. At least she seems fired up. Fun fun!
[21:08:13] <Lecia> That is, fired up to work the fuck out of those notes.
[21:08:57] <Rainy> Rainy shows up with... WHAT?!
[21:08:59] <Rainy> HOLY FUCK
06[21:08:59] * Murphy remains quiet.
[21:08:00] <Rainy> THREE NINIS
[21:08:24] <Rainy> Rainy shows up with three identical paint dragonairs flying around overhead.
03[21:08:37] * Giantree ([email protected]) has joined #Dreamscape
[21:08:52] <Lecia> Of course, depressed or not, three Nini's is still something to pay attention to. Also, aren't they Dragonites if they're Nini?
[21:08:59] <Rainy> er
[21:08:06] <Rainy> I meant dragonites! I actually thought I typed dragonites!
[21:08:09] <Rainy> Definitely dragonites.
01[21:08:32] <Botherer> Botherer's pretty 'WHAT?!' too.
01[21:08:38] <Botherer> Just for the record.
[21:08:56] <Rainy> Get owned. She definitely has three identical Dragonites. COWER IN FEAR.
[21:08:55] <Lecia> Though you get an Eara-mode reaction instead of a Lecia one. She's confused, her expression shows it! I mean, like maybe the Ditto could be one of them, but what about the other one?
[21:08:20] <Rainy> Deal with it.
[21:08:28] <Rainy> "Hey guys! What's going on in this dream?"
[21:08:49] <Murphy> "Nice trick.  Whatever it is."
01[21:08:52] <Botherer> One of the Dragonites seems really pre-occupied with expelling bursts of azure flames from her mouth, looking all the more excited with each burst of flame that comes out, as opposed to the other two, which stand looming overhead Rainy as bodyguards, paintbrush scepter in hand.
03[21:08:40] * JackgarPrime is now known as LawrenceXavier
06[21:08:53] * LawrenceXavier seems to not be terribly distracted with al l that, more concerned with going over his notes about the shadowy corruption
01[21:08:50] <Botherer> Neither looks menacing, 'cause they're damned Dragonites. You're more likely to be running to embrace the liquid derp than anything.
[21:08:05] <Lecia> "I...hmmmmmm...." She thinks, and then thinks some more. "Can Mews...oh, nothing much, we just got here." She makes a guess and keeps it to herself. Fun fun!
[21:08:53] <Rainy> "Daddy says Muse is for people who like mainstream music."
01[21:08:01] <Botherer> The Dragonite that's playing with the blazblue starts giggling at one point after blowing a particularly nasty looking Dragon Rage. More nasty because it set Edword ablaze by accident and elicited a painful "Hooonk..." than anything, since Dragon Rages always always do 40 damage... But it pries Swanna's attention away from the girl in front of her long enough to notice you guys. Her expressions as she waves and looses a "Why, hello there, children!" doesn't waver much.
[22:08:08] <Rainy> "Hi." She looks at the crew, "Do you think you guys can say hi in unison or something? Like a dragon rage orchestra!"
[22:08:35] <Murphy> "Hi."
[22:08:26] <Lecia> "Hi Swanna..." Still preoccupied with writing notes, she is.
01[22:08:14] <Botherer> 12<Dragon Raging orchestras? Why didn't I think of that?> 13<But I just accidentally Dragon Rage'd that bird and he's kinda twitching on the ground I think I might've Dragon Rage'd too hard.>
[22:08:31] <Rainy> "No such thing."
06[22:08:43] * LawrenceXavier looks up to see all the Raging goingo on, and his...test subject...decides to join in, as a horrifying black Dragon Rage shoots through thegro up. It doesn't hit anyone, but the very stuff of space itself seems to burn arounfd it, as the Black Charizard loks at the dragons
01[22:08:44] <Botherer> Mother Swanna looks at the girl standing before her and dismisses her quickly before turning your attention to you guys. "So, I'd... Like to give thanks to you all for what you've done... Your actions serve to keep a world safe from further corruption, and on top of that you've also saved Joshua's life. Though that... Does bring up a concern..."
01[22:08:34] <Botherer> The burst of flame that rushes past you all... when it subsides, the air that it struck seems to have been literally reduced to nothingness. As in 'there's a black void torn in the air next to you all', which slowly merges with and diffuses into the normal, uncorrupted air.
[22:08:40] <Lecia> Lecia pays attention! Enough attention that she keeps glancing at the Charizard and studies this shit out of it. That thing is dangerous in the same way that those guns are, it seems
[22:08:41] <Lecia> !
06[22:08:00] * LawrenceXavier shoots the Shadow Charizard a look, and it cuts off the flame. "You know you aren't supposed to aim that at anyone."
[22:08:40] <Rainy> "Yeah! Because Nini BLOWS UP people who use fire and charizards aren't even real dragon types."
01[22:08:57] <Botherer> Only after making you dance your feet out of the way of a second round of embers, lest you wish for your feet to be reduced to stubs as well, Lawrence.
01[22:08:02] <Botherer> The thing looks antsy, eyes constantly darting back and forth and looking as if it's about to take to the air in pursuit of prey at any moment.
[22:08:05] <Lecia> Nnnnng. Some writing later, she has to ask! "...Lawrence, when did you get that Charizard? I don't know why I didn't ask sooner, but..."
01[22:08:03] <Botherer> Mother Swanna eyes the Charizard warily. "If you would, Lawrence... Could you please recall that Charizard? I'd prefer not to have another incident on our hands if it can be helped..."
[22:08:36] <LawrenceXavier> "I never showed you him as a 'mander? I got him in the real world, destroying a forest." He holds up his hand, with the missing pinky. "He did this to me. Thing is, I cannot remember ever having this finger in the real world. I had to catch him. Study what these flames really are. How we can reverse the mind effect.." He hears Swanna,and nods. "As you wish" And recalls the Charizard
01[22:08:38] <Botherer> A bow of appreciation goes towards Lawrence's compliance. "Thank you, dear..." Her face definitely flips completely downwards upon hearing Lawrence's talk. "And you say they possess the ability to tamper with the Alphic Code from the real world? ... That makes these Pokemon even more dangerous than I suspected they would be... As I was saying, though... About Joshua..."
[22:08:26] <Lecia> "That...makes sense, now....please be careful with it, alright? Using that thing in battle will probably result in a lot of things damaged, and it's only going to get more antsy about...well, I suppose 'deleting things from existence' is a better phrasing, there. I guess what it's doing is similar to those guns, only it doesn't really discriminate with what it's blasting...but, what about
[22:08:26] <Lecia> Joshua? Is he doing better now?" Ha, he.
01[22:08:51] <Botherer> "He's made a full recovery, and is walking about here in the Dreamscape... But, umm... It seems something went amiss when you were inputting a replacement code for him..."
[22:08:28] <Murphy> "What happened?"
[22:08:34] <Rainy> "Is he a magikarp?"
[22:08:40] <Lecia> "Huh? I'm pretty sure I got everything right...then again, it was pretty complicated..."
01[22:08:27] <Botherer> She then whistles over to the girl she dismissed earlier. "... Or should I say... Her..." The girl, sporting a ponytail and glasses, but her facial features look disturbingly familiar to most. ... Most considering that Murphy's never seen Joshua's face more than twice before.
[22:08:11] <Lecia> "I was gonna ask--oh."
01[22:08:24] <Botherer> The girl's face looks a bit stern as a heartless "Hey guys" descends from her lips.
01[22:08:10] <Botherer> Heartless as in 'lacking any feeling to it', as opposed to a vitrolic heartless.
[22:08:20] <Murphy> "...maybe I should've proofread it, even if I didn't know him..."
[22:08:53] <LawrenceXavier> ".....huh...."
[22:08:57] <Rainy> "...Miss Kidnapper?!"
[22:08:20] <Lecia> So basically, the usual? Whoop whoop whoop. "I...no, I'm pretty sure it was on male...but then..." Mmmmmmmmmmmm. "...Ah, I guess I was bumped into at one point when I was around that spot. My fault for not doublechecking." ...And...ah... "H--She...ah, it wasn't good enough, was it...at least h--...he's still around, though, but..."
01[22:08:46] <Botherer> The girl pulls out a morningstar and makes an attempt to grab at the collar of Rainy's labcoat. Her words are harsh and pointed. "I thought I told you to knock it off with the 'Ms Kidnapper' thing."
01[22:08:29] <Botherer> Well, not so much 'pulled out' moreso than it just materialized as she brought her clenched fist upwards and pointed it towards Rainy.
[22:08:42] <Murphy> "Well."
[22:08:47] <Rainy> Three dragonites get in the way!
[22:08:54] <Murphy> "Rainy, you know what you have to say to her, right?"
[22:08:02] <Lecia> Lecia takes more notes. So it's Miss Kidnapper, that's how (s)he remembers it...
[22:08:50] <Rainy> "Uh, skirts are fun and easy to wear?"
01[22:08:13] <Botherer> "Her memories seem to mostly be intact... Save her gender identity, and, well... Most of the things that are pertinent to that..."
[22:08:17] <Murphy> "...wrong."
01[22:08:54] <Botherer> Mother Swanna shows great discomfort in uttering the sentence that follows. "Her desire to, err... Be around Yumeko is, uh... still highly... Intact."
[22:08:02] <LawrenceXavier> "....that would change a LOT, though"
[22:08:16] <Rainy> "Weird."
01[22:08:18] <Botherer> 12<I'm not gonna let you hurt my friend Rainy!> 13<Try it and we'll turn you into a pile of burnt up Dragon Rage!>
[22:08:43] <Lecia> "I...huh. Well, at least I did a good job with everything besides...everything pertaining to that. This isn't really the time to fix it, though. We need to do is go where a bunch of Darkrai are, since that might lead us to my own world's location! ...Just need to figure out where that is, first..."
01[22:08:48] <Botherer> "... You think I care?" The skirted girl still holds the morningstar in hand. "We've been over this before, and I'm not gonna stand for being insulted by this idiot when I thought we already went through this." It's apology or Dragonite Wars, it seems.
05[22:08:14] <Murphy> "If you two start a fight I'll take both of you out."
06[22:08:25] * Murphy isn't letting this shit happen.
[22:08:51] <Murphy> "After what's happened earlier, I'm not letting infighting stand.  We're already bad enough off, fighting among ourselves is going to make it worse."
03[22:08:05] * Falcon ([email protected]) has joined #Dreamscape
[22:08:10] <Rainy> Rainy smiles and shrugs. She's at perfect hippiezen, unaffected by the mad around her.
03[22:08:33] * Falcon is now known as Michael
01[22:08:37] <Botherer> The third Dragonite starts mocking She-Josh in her voice. "oooh, look at me! I'm all big and serious and sticking a mace in a little girl's face! I'm so tough and scary!" She-Josh just rolls his eyes. "Just tell me where Yumeko is..."
06[22:08:44] * Michael materializes
01[22:08:34] <Botherer> Michael materializes right in time to see an angry little girl with a mace pointed at one of three Dragonites' necks right before turning away and rolling her eyes.
[22:08:17] <Michael> <_<
[22:08:19] <Michael> >_>
[22:08:30] <Michael> "What did I miss?"
[22:08:39] <Murphy> "We screwed up."
[22:08:44] <Murphy> "Joshua is a girl now."
[22:08:23] <Michael> "Uhhh"
[22:08:39] <Michael> "...Does he mind?"
[22:08:04] <Murphy> "Doesn't seem to.  Mad that Rainy's calling them Kidnapper still, though."
01[22:08:04] <Botherer> "That's Josie to you," the girl foams off.
[22:08:18] <Murphy> "...Right."
[22:08:25] <Murphy> "Josie."
[22:08:31] <Michael> "Josh? That's you?"
[22:08:35] <Michael> >_>
[22:08:58] <Michael> "Does he...she still have the hots for Yume? I'm kind of curious about all this I must note"
[22:08:06] <Lecia> "I got it right, but I accidentally got it wrong cause I was bumped into and didn't doublecheck it after all that typing. ...But it seems he or she thinks he or she is a girl and has always been, I think..."
[22:08:13] <Lecia> "...and yes."
[22:08:21] <Michael> ...
06[22:08:32] * Murphy decides that since everything SEEMS to have calmed down, he should stop mediating it. He decides to sneak up behind Lecia and peek at her notes. And then go "boo."
[22:08:44] <Michael> "Welp, I guess no harm done...."
[22:08:04] <Michael> "So you don't remember being a guy at all Josie?"
01[22:08:20] <Botherer> "I was hoping after what happened I could just take a day to unwind, maybe go shopping with her..."
01[22:08:01] <Botherer> And She-Josh Josie raises an eyebrow. "Are you all blind or something? Do I really look that much like a guy to you all?"
[22:08:28] <Murphy> "Not at all."
01[22:08:29] <Botherer> ... Truth be told, she's still pretty built, and retains most of the masculine parts of her former facial features.
06[22:08:55] * Michael pokes her on the shoulder
[22:08:01] <Rainy> "Only a little."
[22:08:40] <Michael> "I wonder how his parents are going to take it... wait, didn't someone mention something about losing a finger and it seeming like they never had it irl?"
01[22:08:54] <Botherer> Poke poke. You suspect Josie might have more muscle mass than you do, Michael!
[22:08:02] <Michael> (holy shit)
[22:08:14] <Lecia> The notes are so unsurprising that I'll post them in here. They have to do with ALL THE SERIOUS. Notes on Madeline's state IRL (gone for a while, then mostly the same save a loss of emotional spark), shadow Pokemon, that gun, and perhaps something out of place: the design of a nice telescope. Of course, knowing what she said, it's not all out of place at all. Either way, she nearly jumps!
[22:08:15] <Lecia> Had she been normal she would have, but instead she gets about half-way, with an 'eep!' "D-don't surprise me like that!"
06[22:08:19] * Michael pokerfaces
[22:08:03] <Murphy> "Madeline's all right for now?"
[22:08:14] <Lecia> She composes quickly enough, though. SERIOUSNESS! "But yeah, I did. I assume that history just rewrote itself around that fact."
01[22:08:22] <Botherer> Josie looks up at Michael, glaring daggers at him. "Can I help you?"
[22:08:03] <Lecia> "And...Alright isn't quite it, but she's alive, at least...in some sense of the word..."
[22:08:54] <Michael> "nope"
06[23:08:00] * Michael scoops up Josie
[23:08:04] <Murphy> "Good.  Be supportive of her in real life, she'll thank you when she's back to normal.  I think."
[23:08:07] <Michael> 1d20+12
[23:08:08] <DiceMaid-9001> Michael, 1d20+12: 23 [1d20=11]
[23:08:28] <Michael> "Good ta have ya back, even if ur a girl now"
[23:08:37] <Murphy> (Michael's gonna' bop her over the head and take her to his cave.)
[23:08:38] <Michael> *Strongguyhug*
01[23:08:09] <Botherer> (He has to drag her unconscious body by her ponytail.)
[23:08:12] <Michael> (Michael doesn't have a cave, he doesn't even have a house unless you count SUPAHROBO)
[23:08:37] <Murphy> (The joke)
[23:08:38] <Murphy> ( )
[23:08:39] <Murphy> ( )
[23:08:43] <Murphy> (Your head.)
[23:08:52] <Lecia> (THEN LECIA WILL MAKE A VEHICLE THAT CAN WORK LIKE A CAVE. WHATEVER WORKS.)
01[23:08:14] <Botherer> (She can also do it to the tune of something like seven Imagination, too!)
[23:08:40] <Lecia> "Yeah, that's what I was doing..." It's not hard to sense that this bums her out for some reason or another.
[23:08:52] <Michael> 1,1(nah I totally got the caveman joke >_>)
01[23:08:05] <Botherer> The girl resists a bit, putting up a damned bit of a fight even for Michael, but reluctantly sinks into and accepts her 'being conquered' or what have you, though not looking much too happy about it. "Yeah, yeah, good to be back and all..."
[23:08:26] <Murphy> "Don't worry, Madeline will be back to normal soon.  In fact, it's not her I'm worried about."
06[23:08:48] * Michael sets new Joshua back on the ground
[23:08:45] <Rainy> "Hey Mumu."
[23:08:52] <Rainy> "What would you do if 1,1Lecia became a boy?"
[23:08:11] <Murphy> "...I..."
[23:08:33] <Murphy> "I think I'd 1,1become a girl to go with her."
01[23:08:16] <Botherer> I think 1,1you people broke your GM's mind.
[23:08:01] <Lecia> NEW AND IMPROVED. A THIN LAYER OF EXTRA DEPTH! "...huh...hmm...1,1but what if that wasn't a possibility? What then?" She's intrigued!
[23:08:26] <Murphy> "...I'd...1,1love you anyway."
[23:08:38] <Michael> <3
[23:08:26] <Rainy> "Okay!"
[23:08:29] <Rainy> "Next question!"
[23:08:34] <Lecia> "...Oh you. 1,1I'd do the same~" 1,1He gets a hug!
[23:08:00] <Rainy> "Lecia, what would you do if 1,1Murphy became a zoroark?"
06[23:08:01] * Michael wonders why all these black bars are appearing in the air
06[23:08:21] * Murphy also hugs. And then 1,1moves in and kisses her on the lips.
01[23:08:48] <Botherer> Josie leaningawayfromeverything. "So yeah, you guys have fun with this... I'm gonna go do something worthwhile and find Yumeko. Hoping I didn't worry her."
01[23:08:11] <Botherer> 1,1Took 'em long enough.
[23:08:35] <Rainy> Rainy hurries to cover Kiki's eyes!
[23:08:49] <Rainy> And Nini's!
[23:08:57] <Rainy> Totodidi gets to see though.
01[23:08:56] <Botherer> Funny. Nini was moving to cover Rainy's eyes! You hear, in Lecia's voice, an"Oh, Murphy!" come out in an improper manner... Almost ferally.
[23:08:29] <Lecia> Blame the Charizard. In any case, 1,1kiss returned! "And...well, they can change their shape kinda, right? I'd like if Murphy still looked like Murphy, 1,1" She pauses. "Which is pretty cute, but I'd love you either way!"
06[23:08:28] * Murphy smiles. "Good."
01[23:08:48] <Botherer> 13<Aww, but i wanted to see the part where Mumu lets loose the Super Special Secret Dragon Rage of Love!> Kiki's disappoint she missed it.
[23:08:02] <Michael> "Ok, so we got Jooo-slyn back
[23:08:31] <Michael> "What happened to cass?"
06[23:08:00] * Murphy lets go of Lessy-hug now. "Okay, we have to do things BESIDES make eyes at each other, unfortunately. Mother Swanna, you have any information on recent Darkrai movements?"
[23:08:42] <Lecia> "Yeah, was gonna say. Our love won't be any good if everything becomes nothing, after all! And the people that need saving keeps on climbing!" All these people, they keep on dying!
[23:08:10] <Lecia> Also, if it needed to be said, she totally has the tablet on hand. It's not leaving her person.
01[23:08:21] <Botherer> "Let's see here... If you'd give me a moment..." Mother Swanna retreats to her house momentarily to retrieve something from it.
[23:08:26] <Lecia> Unless Swanna wants it or something.
06[23:08:03] * LawrenceXavier perks his ears up. "Darkrai? I've heard you all discuss him, but I haven't been fully briefed..."
[23:08:23] <Murphy> "You say that like there's just one."
[23:08:44] <Rainy> "There's a quadodecananomacrojillion."
[23:08:10] <Michael> "That's not a real number Rainy :|"
01[23:08:14] <Botherer> When she returns, she has a scroll on her person, and reading glasses set before her dull eyes. "It seems that 'they' have been rather active to the north of the mountain range... And we'd be quite fortunate if there were but a single one of 'them'."
[23:08:29] <Rainy> "How do you know?"
[23:08:38] <Rainy> "What if it's a number so big we haven't even discovered it yet?"
[23:08:51] <Lecia> "Any rough estimates of that number?
[23:08:53] <Lecia> "
01[23:08:34] <Botherer> Mother Swanna shakes her head negatory. "Unfortunately, for all the assistants we have, keeping track of their numbers is near impossible... Especially when they often assault anything that draws near in an attempt to absorb them into their ranks."
01[23:08:55] <Botherer> The '' around every form of 'they'. Can't be assed because damned overtype can go burn.
[23:08:21] <LawrenceXavier> "What exactly are they doing? Raiding?"
[23:08:27] <Murphy> "So we'll have to avoid them, huh?"
[23:08:48] <Michael> "No way to beat them?"
[23:08:50] <Lecia> "Either avoid or break through!"
[23:08:32] <Murphy> "There's so many of them, I don't think it'd be smart to just bash through them.  No matter how strong we are, numbers aren't meaningless."
[23:08:08] <Michael> "Do we know anything about leaders?"
06[23:08:33] * Michael sits down cross legged and rubs his chin, which now actually sports scruff
[23:08:51] <Lecia> "...If we CAN'T avoid, we're gonna break through anyway! But let's focus on avoiding."
[23:08:15] <Michael> *strokebeard*
[23:08:54] <Murphy> "Even if we have to break through them, I'd rather whittle them through hit and run.  Isolate small groups and wipe them out."
01[23:08:04] <Botherer> "From what I've gathered... 'They' usually prey upon people who are lost in the Eternal Nightmare, or my assistants when those are in short supply, since they're responsible for ferrying people, yourselves inclusive, to and from the Dreamscape each and every night..."
[23:08:42] <Murphy> "Is there...anything they find abhorrent?"
[23:08:30] <Lecia> "Well...using a giant robot might make that hard, but...hm, maybe I can cloak it, people can go out and take them down until they realize what we're doing and clump together...then go around or through them--wait, your assistants or the Darkrai?"
[23:08:11] <Rainy> "What if we just dropped a huge bomb?"
[23:08:31] <Rainy> "It's made of really sticky glue and then they can't move."
01[23:08:34] <Botherer> "My assistants... If 'they' were responsible for getting you here I would guarantee that you wouldn't be here right now..."
[23:08:35] <Murphy> "We'd have to make sure there's no worlds nearby."
[23:08:37] <Rainy> "Also it hardens and traps them like statues."
[23:08:33] <Lecia> "Yyyeah that makes sense. And...considering they were NEAR a world, there probably is, so that won't work out well..."
[23:08:18] <Michael> "Soooo... nothing on leaders?"
[23:08:24] <Lecia> "So the question is...how are we gonna get there? Giant robot, the other cruiser which is a lot less flashy and big, or figure out how to fly there or something?"
[23:08:42] <Lecia> "Oooh, if we get a leader, we'll get their morale~"
[23:08:13] <Murphy> "Assuming that they're not some kind of hive mind that doesn't so much have a leader as it does just common goals spread throughout them."
06[23:08:15] * Michael adjusts lucky mask
[23:08:38] <Michael> "Or motivation? What's their angle, what do they want? I'm confused"
[23:08:50] <Murphy> "They want to assimilate more into them."
[23:08:08] <Murphy> "...right?"
[23:08:35] <Michael> "That can't be the end of it"
06[23:08:40] * Michael rubs his head
[23:08:49] <Michael> "Hmm, hard to think like this sometimes"
[23:08:46] <Michael> "But, why do they want everyone? There has to be something."
[23:08:53] <Lecia> "Could always capture one and find out!" INTERROGATION!
01[23:08:55] <Botherer> "They generally do run along the same agenda... But last I've heard..." Mother Swanna (read: Botherer) tries to think on this a second. (Notes are somewhere just need to find them on this mess of an SD Card.)
06[23:08:38] * Michael considers releasing Dick, then wonders why he thought that at all
01[23:08:06] <Botherer> "It's a form of self-sustinence... They, in a literal sense, take in nourishment from the fears and insecurities of those they're around... That they'd gather around a world would suggest a great amount of turmoil's befallen it."
[23:08:34] <Murphy> "Then...one way we could get rid of them would be to solve that world's turmoil...but we really can't do that..."
01[23:08:52] <Botherer> "They generally prowl about aimlessly in search of this nourishment, or something they could provoke into producing it..."
[23:08:43] <Murphy> "...like Team Aether."
01[23:08:51] <Botherer> "But the more self-aware ones, ones capable of thinking of their own accord... They can direct the others as they see fit..."
[23:08:37] <Michael> "Those are the ones we have to get"
[23:08:49] <Michael> "But"
[23:08:50] <Michael> ...
[23:08:56] <Michael> *strokes beard*
[23:08:45] <Murphy> "Personally, what I think is that we should do some recon.  Study them while staying under their radar, find out where they'd be vulnerable..."
[23:08:09] <Michael> "Are these things really bad to the core? Or is this a case of them just wanting something to eat and being in the wrong place at the wrong time like the Darksiders in Pikaman episode 178 ' Dark Desires'?"
06[23:08:27] * Michael looks at Lecia
[23:08:34] <Murphy> "And then pinpoint where to strike to cause the most chaos within them.  Pretty dirty tactic, but...hm."
[23:08:53] <Michael> "You are smart, what do you think?"
[23:08:28] <Murphy> (I...need to go now.  Need to sleep.  Sorry :/)
[23:08:33] <Murphy> (Toss me a log later, okay?)
[23:08:53] <Lecia> "Hmmmm...dirty, but the place to strike would obviously be the leader, no question about it. Simply subduing the leader properly could cause the entire thing to break up, if they control them. The question would be figuring out who that is, and successfully subduing it in one fell swoop. ...And figuring out how to get under their radar in the first place, too..."
[23:08:59] <Lecia> (Bye ;_;)
[23:08:28] <Murphy> (Bye ;_;)

Session Time: Mon Aug 20 00:00:01 2012
[00:08:17] <LawrenceXavier> "Here's a thought....can we infiltrate them at all? Perhaps if we had....I dunno...a Zorua or something?"
[00:08:52] <Rainy> "Kiki and Totodidi can transform, but they're not done training!" Really, she hasn't finished statting them.
[00:08:26] <Michael> "Well, I can do a little transforming too, but >_>"
[00:08:37] <LawrenceXavier> (I know that feel. I still't statted up that teddiursa ;_;)
[00:08:44] <Lecia> "...Welllllll....Totodidi IS a good actor, last I checked..."
[00:08:47] <Lecia> (>statting up things)
01[00:08:52] <Botherer> (You people are the worst.)
01[00:08:01] <Botherer> (Then again, so am I. :3)
01[00:08:08] <Botherer> (Match made in heaven.)
[00:08:18] <Lecia> (<3)
[00:08:41] <Lecia> "...Yumeko met one of them though, right?" SORRY, HAD TO BRING HER UP EVENTUALLY.
06[00:08:47] * Michael eats a brownie
01[00:08:37] <Botherer> Rainy's voice continues to talk. "Totodidi also is the bestest best friend I could ever have had except for Nini but that's because Nini's awesome like Dragon Rage."
[00:08:47] <Rainy> Rainy lifts her hands to her lips. She gasps, "Did I just say that?!"
01[00:08:21] <Botherer> One of the Dragonites tries to hold in a laugh.
[00:08:05] <Rainy> "Just kidding. That was real acting."
[00:08:10] <Rainy> "I took a class."
06[00:08:34] * Michael finishes brownie
[00:08:45] <Michael> "In any case, getting those leaders serves a few  purposes by denying them leadership and getting us someone we can talk to"
[00:08:54] <Michael> "So I say we go kidnap em"
[00:08:06] <Michael> "Abduct"
01[00:08:54] <Botherer> Mother Swanna gives a nod. "True... If you can get a hold of whichever one's responsible for coordinating them, they're likely to simply disperse on their own without anything holding them to a single place..."
[00:08:40] <LawrenceXavier> "|Cu\t off the head and the body dies\, as it were?|
[00:08:23] <Michael> "That's the gist of it"
[00:08:36] <Michael> "Though this body is still pretty dangerous without the head"
