You Wouldn't Pirate a...I got nothing

Nov 22 12:07:31 <Aori_Radidjiu> Friday, June 12th, 3 PM.  After a bit of a break for everyone, Knox lets the group know that Alicia wants to TALK about coordinating what to do next with all the Aether leads the both of you have.
Nov 22 12:09:39 <Ululane> Uuuuuugh, don't they know talking is just time spent not hitting? Seeeriously. Despite dreading a meeting of any sort, Melanie looks more timid and awkward right now than irked, a bit like when she first came to Wakino actually.
Nov 22 12:09:52 <Knox> The way he ended up bringing this up was more of an "I -guess- we have to go over this to actually be efficient at our jobs or whatever'.
Nov 22 12:15:14 <Aori_Radidjiu> Alicia left Knox a number, so you guys can go ahead and set up a redezvous if you want~
Nov 22 12:17:21 <Ululane> "So we going or not?"
Nov 22 12:18:13 <Knox> "Yeah, yeah." he dials up Alicia in the meantime.
Nov 22 12:19:05 <Aori_Radidjiu> She picks up pretty quickly.  "Hey."
Nov 22 12:19:05 <Knox> "You might have some things to talk about with that 'Nilly' chick, by the way."
Nov 22 12:19:10 <Knox> "Hey."
Nov 22 12:19:30 <Knox> "We have people more or less ready, where did you want this to be?"
Nov 22 12:19:59 <Ululane> Melanie looks a little offended at the implication that just because they're both weird, they'd have things in common.
Nov 22 12:22:24 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Oh, I know.  Are you guys situated at the docks?  We've got our boat set up there too, so I guess we could just meet just outside the docks, there's a park nearby, we'll all be there, it'd be kind of hard to miss a huge group as conspicuous as us, wouldn't it?  Good?"
Nov 22 12:22:48 <Knox> "Yeah, that's fine."
Nov 22 12:27:00 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Cool, see you soon then."  Click.
Nov 22 12:27:14 <Knox> He hangs up as well. "...What are you giving me that look for?"
Nov 22 12:27:53 <Ululane> "...nothing, let's go."
Nov 22 12:28:38 <Knox> "Right. We're heading to the park or something." He makes sure to go tell Lesieli and Mack about this and that's all the time spent on getting them ready. >:V
Nov 22 12:30:13 <Lesieli> I'm sure in the course of this you explained who this Alicia person is and what's even going on, right?
Nov 22 12:30:26 <Ululane> Too easy, figure it out.
Nov 22 12:30:36 <Aori_Radidjiu> Right.  She's the 'leader' of the S.S. Victory, another group of PIRATES.
Nov 22 12:30:39 <Lesieli> Great, sounds fun~
Nov 22 12:30:44 <Knox> Duh. Alicia was one of the PIRATES members they met at the jail and this is to split up work.
Nov 22 12:31:41 <Lesieli> Sounds great, ready to go
Nov 22 12:34:42 <Aori_Radidjiu> You quickly find the place, a small park with Alicia and Miles sitting on a bench, Agni and Ryu glaring daggers at each other, and Nilly watching Agni and Ryu with some slight confusion.
Nov 22 12:35:17 <Knox> Can you give a short reminder about how some of these people look like?
Nov 22 12:35:23 <Aori_Radidjiu> SURE THING
Nov 22 12:36:30 <Aori_Radidjiu> Alicia http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=89131
Nov 22 12:36:44 <Aori_Radidjiu> Ryu http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=860065
Nov 22 12:36:57 <Aori_Radidjiu> Nilly http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1153329
Nov 22 12:37:09 <Aori_Radidjiu> Miles http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1054152
Nov 22 12:37:19 <Aori_Radidjiu> Agni http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=890787
Nov 22 12:38:17 <Aori_Radidjiu> Along iwth some other guy http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs51/i/2009/273/4/c/John_Freeman_by_cynthiastiches.jpg who's chasing after a Krabby
Nov 22 12:38:22 <Knox> He just nods as he approaches. "We're here."
Nov 22 12:39:01 <Ululane> "Because they couldn't see that."
Nov 22 12:39:37 <Aori_Radidjiu> Agni and Ryu and Nilly stop what they're doing to give you all a wave, and the group all moves over to meet you guys.  Alicia greets you all.  "Hey."
Nov 22 12:39:48 <Lesieli> Nilly's cute, let's keep her and drop the others
Nov 22 12:41:02 <Aori_Radidjiu> "So, from what I understand, you guys have a bunch of leads, and we've had most of ours dry out, so I was thinking that we could investigate one of your leads while you guys focus on another one, considering you guys have like 4 leads.
Nov 22 12:41:05 <Aori_Radidjiu> "
Nov 22 12:43:28 * Knox leans on one of the nearby trees. "Right. There's four places right now. Whelk, the chemical plant, Mosaic Cave and the underwater city."
Nov 22 12:45:43 <Ululane> "A reminder if what's at each one might help..."
Nov 22 12:46:00 <Aori_Radidjiu> Miles nods.  "Yeah, that'd help."
Nov 22 12:46:08 <Knox> "Alright."
Nov 22 12:46:27 * Knox gets ready to words
Nov 22 12:47:38 <Knox> "The sunken city, as we just learned from our little interrogation at the jail, was one of a few expedition sites that Aether was sending the former White Water division to investigate. So it likely has some occult connection to Kanaloa and the mermaids, is my guess."
Nov 22 12:48:46 <Knox> "A different person we questioned mentioned an operation in Whelk Port where he was about to be transferred - suggesting a larger operation on the whole somewhere in that city."
Nov 22 12:50:00 <Ululane> Melanie squirms a little at the mention of that other person.
Nov 22 12:51:53 <Knox> "The Chemical Plant is apparently being used as a testing ground, possibly by their "Turquoise Terra" division. They seem to be running experiments with enhanced Kecleons and possibly other pokemon. No larger base is believed to be in the immediate area, but the research is pretty fucking dire - even the 'prototype' we fought was stupidly strong."
Nov 22 12:53:13 <Knox> "Finally, some of these same pokemon were apparently shipped to Mosaic Cove, where what they're doing is anyone's guess, but we heard from Murphy that natural Mega Stones exist in the area. You put two and two together."
Nov 22 12:53:46 <Knox> "The three places I'm most interested in myself are the side stops - the city, the cove and the chemical plant."
Nov 22 12:54:28 <Ululane> "...I want the chemical plant."
Nov 22 12:56:04 <Lesieli> "Man, they all sound kinda fun~  Why do we need to give one up again?"
Nov 22 12:56:35 <Ululane> "...we're not going for a romp, Lesieli."
Nov 22 12:57:01 <Aori_Radidjiu> Ryu glares at Lesieli.  "There is evil rampant in this world, and letting it fester makes it stronger.  If we divide and conquer, we can minimize any damage any of these operations make on the world."
Nov 22 12:58:45 <Knox> "In any case, the operation in Whelk might be pretty big since spare assets were being shuffled to it.." he muses a moment.
Nov 22 12:58:56 <Aori_Radidjiu> Nilly starts rummaging through her bags.  "Chilling pill seems to be needed to be administered, Ryu."
Nov 22 12:58:59 <Ululane> "I suppose the assumption is that we'd both have time to scout two locations, then meet up in Whelk to catch up?"
Nov 22 12:59:25 <Aori_Radidjiu> Alicia nods.  "That sounds like an excellent idea."
Nov 22 13:00:27 <Knox> "...We don't have to split the whole workload now. All we really need to decide at the moment is the next stop."
Nov 22 13:01:24 <Ululane> "It sounded like they were about done with the underwater city thing, right? So it's not as big of a priority?"
Nov 22 13:01:53 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Hmmm, I guess we'll opt out on investigating Whelk if we're meeting up there.  Hey, guys, what sounds better, Mosaic Cave or under the sea?"  Nilly shrugs.  "They both sound pretty..."  Miles nods.  "Looks like I'm gonna' get some good shots either way..."
Nov 22 13:02:22 <Knox> "I -guess-." he says to Melanie. "I suppose I was more curious in person."
Nov 22 13:03:07 <Aori_Radidjiu> Agni pauses a bit before speaking.  "I would...prefer the cave."  Ryu nods.  "I'd rather not go where my BURNING DETERMINATION might be quenched."
Nov 22 13:03:37 <Aori_Radidjiu> Alicia straightens her glasses.  "2 for either, 2 for the cove..."
Nov 22 13:03:46 <Knox> "Two for the plant on our side."
Nov 22 13:04:17 <Knox> "Thing is, the city is on the way since it's north of Ark."
Nov 22 13:04:23 <Knox> "...Mm."
Nov 22 13:04:36 <Ululane> "Both groups could stop at the city. Then split for wherever afterwards."
Nov 22 13:04:52 <Knox> "Well, they just said they had problems with visiting the city."
Nov 22 13:05:01 <Ululane> "Well then they can whine less, I don't care."
Nov 22 13:05:05 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Whelk's the furthest away of all the spots you've listed."
Nov 22 13:05:26 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I wanted to do something before heading over there."
Nov 22 13:06:16 <Aori_Radidjiu> Alicia grins.  "I think we can take the cove and then meet with you guys in Whelk after that.  Sound good?"
Nov 22 13:06:35 <Knox> "I guess that'd work. The plant's pretty close to Whelk."
Nov 22 13:07:06 <Ululane> "At the very least, they'll stop whatever the fuckwits in the cove are doing, then after everything we can pop by for a leisurely stroll."
Nov 22 13:07:22 <Knox> "Fair enough."
Nov 22 13:07:52 <Ululane> "Oh, if you guys find anyone with a black rose tattoo...restrain them and let me know."
Nov 22 13:08:30 <Knox> "And then they end up bagging someone completely innocent." he snarks.
Nov 22 13:08:45 <Ululane> "No one is completely innocent."
Nov 22 13:08:46 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Black Rose..."  Miles shuffles through a messenger bag he has on his side, and then pulls out a photo album.  "I've seen one before."
Nov 22 13:09:06 <Knox> He considers. "Innocent of what's being accused, then."
Nov 22 13:09:22 <Knox> He raises an eyebrow at Alicia.
Nov 22 13:09:31 <Ululane> "Oooooh?~" Melanie turns her attention towards Miles, walking over a bit too close to him.
Nov 22 13:10:31 <Aori_Radidjiu> He pops it open to a page on the album with a few pictures of a beach.  There's a man and a woman posing in one photo, both of them with black rose tattoos on their chests, both wearing black swimsuits.
Nov 22 13:11:21 <Ululane> "Whowhathwhenwherewhyhow?"
Nov 22 13:11:24 <Knox> *Miles
Nov 22 13:11:26 <Knox> *not Alicia
Nov 22 13:11:35 * Telume has quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
Nov 22 13:12:52 * Knox looks over her shoulder and at the female.
Nov 22 13:12:56 <Aori_Radidjiu> "This was in Zebra Town, I was hanging out at th ebeach and I saw these two.  I didn't see any others, but that's them."  The girl's dark skinned, definitely a native wakinese, while the man seems to be kantonese.
Nov 22 13:13:07 <Knox> Where's the location on the woman?
Nov 22 13:13:35 <Aori_Radidjiu> right breast, it's just a rose bud, no vines or brambles.  Same on the man.
Nov 22 13:13:56 * Lesieli glances at the page "Huh, it's a nice tattoo I suppose?
Nov 22 13:14:13 <Knox> "That's possibly Brigitte, the woman Kay mentioned."
Nov 22 13:14:33 <Ululane> "Too low level, tattoo isn't defined enough. Though there might be a base on Zebra..."
Nov 22 13:15:28 <Knox> "Right, Kay did say there was more to the tattoo, didn't she?"
Nov 22 13:15:34 <Knox> He frowns. That makes four.
Nov 22 13:16:36 <Ululane> "I'm still waiting on more specific details of the tattoos from my mom but...if it is effectively the entirety of Turquoise Terra, I plan on simply taking it from Aether."
Nov 22 13:18:51 <Knox> "...Right."
Nov 22 13:19:28 <Aori_Radidjiu> Miles closes his album.  "That's all I've got, but I'll let you know if I see more."
Nov 22 13:20:19 <Knox> "Alright, I think we have our next course of action in mind. Regarding Mosaic... if you see any of their experiments, you should be expecting pokemon on the legendary level of strength - despite what they may look like."
Nov 22 13:20:55 <Ululane> "Hmmm..." Melanie looks over the other crew, trying to sniff out any divinity to know who might be affected by that fucking Kecleon bullshit.
Nov 22 13:21:40 <Aori_Radidjiu> roll me occult
Nov 22 13:21:53 <Ululane> Might need a bot for that.
Nov 22 13:22:47 <Lesieli> "Wait, the tattoos are tied to Aether?  That could be handy"
Nov 22 13:23:01 <Aori_Radidjiu> oh right
Nov 22 13:23:11 * PsychoRoll (~PsychoRol@Rizon-3657CC26.cl.ri.cox.net) has joined
Nov 22 13:23:17 <Ululane> 6d6+4 Heart of the cards
Nov 22 13:23:18 <PsychoRoll> Ululane, Heart of the cards: 27 [6d6=5,1,3,6,5,3]
Nov 22 13:23:40 <Aori_Radidjiu> None of them seem outright divine.  Nilly seems to be WAYSTRONG though, like how Knox and Mack have gotten recently.  Ryu seems like he has something divinity related, but isn't actually divine.
Nov 22 13:24:08 <Lesieli> 6d6+8 Just because, not like I'm actively trying to sense like she is
Nov 22 13:24:08 <PsychoRoll> Lesieli, Just because, not like I'm actively trying to sense like she is: 25 [6d6=3,5,1,1,5,2]
Nov 22 13:24:46 <Ululane> After scanning over the whole crew, she looks back at Nilly. "You, you've done something in the dream world?"
Nov 22 13:24:51 <Aori_Radidjiu> Lesieli has a slight circumstantial bonus here.  She can realize that Ryu has the Godslayer ability.
Nov 22 13:25:48 <Aori_Radidjiu> Nilly looks over at Melanie.  "I technically originate from there."
Nov 22 13:26:55 <Ululane> Melanie's face screws up in surprise. "Explain."
Nov 22 13:27:53 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I am a being that did not exist in previous iterations of this world and am essentially a composite of junk data that became incredibly efficient at playing human."
Nov 22 13:28:11 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I have met your other half before, Miss."
Nov 22 13:28:46 <Lesieli> "Oh, so there's more than one of those things?  Neato."
Nov 22 13:28:46 * Knox doesn't seem too surprised at hearing this.
Nov 22 13:29:17 <Knox> "She's 'basically' human now from what I understand."
Nov 22 13:29:57 <Aori_Radidjiu> "My concept has stabilized, yes."
Nov 22 13:30:07 <Knox> "Had a talk with her and Alicia about it earlier."
Nov 22 13:30:20 <Ululane> The look on her face is somewhere between even more surprise, confusion, fear, and excitement. "So you're...you're...how did it stabilize?!"
Nov 22 13:33:11 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Hard work and effort spent living with humans in an attempt to become one.   After 2 years I was able to reliably imitate a human child and was no longer prone to my appearance falling apart.  After 1 more year I began simulating growth so that I might appear to be a normal child.  After 2 more years I realized that at this rate I realized my ability to change my appearance was
Nov 22 13:33:11 <Aori_Radidjiu> faltering and I was becoming more and more stuck one way,s o I decided that my sex from that point on would stay female, and then I began puberty emulation.  After 4 more years I am here."
Nov 22 13:34:36 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I did not count the 1 year before I decided I wished to be human."
Nov 22 13:34:36 * Lesieli ponders what a cute little abomination girl would look like~
Nov 22 13:34:56 <Knox> He hrms. He estimates she's around 17 physically then, but first showed up around 8 years old?
Nov 22 13:35:15 <Ululane> Melanie talks steadily faster as she speaks. "I didn't think something that was just junk could, I mean I thought it needed something in reality, which feared me more than becoming junk in the first place, because I didn't want to see another me that might be more me than me and become me, but this is great news!" Melanie bearhugs Nilly, poking and prodding her as well to make sure she's real.
Nov 22 13:35:15 * Vandaeron finally decides to get his dumb ass onto the scene. "Hey everybody. How's everything panning out?"
Nov 22 13:35:32 <Knox> Who the fuck is Vandaeron? :V
Nov 22 13:35:44 <Vandaeron> Your mom
Nov 22 13:35:50 <Lesieli> A miserable pile of secrets
Nov 22 13:35:50 * Vandaeron is now known as Mackenzie
Nov 22 13:36:06 <Aori_Radidjiu> She doesn't resist, although she quips after a few seconds.  "May I assume you wish to be molested in the same manner, Miss?"
Nov 22 13:36:31 <Lesieli> Yes, yes she does
Nov 22 13:37:17 <Knox> "Seems like we're splitting the work up across our two groups, Mackenzie. We're checking out the sunken city we learned about, these people are heading to Mosaic Cove. Then we're meeting in Whelk, presumably before splitting off again for an in-city investigation and the chemical plant."
Nov 22 13:37:39 <Knox> "I hope you like diving."
Nov 22 13:38:20 <Mackenzie> "Sounds good to me."
Nov 22 13:38:37 * Mackenzie thumbs ups the other group.
Nov 22 13:38:59 <Ululane> She eases up only slightly, still talking a mile a minute. Or...that's not how you measure words...whatever. "Well why not, if we're so similar, and I thought it was so lonely, I don't care, and it's good preparation for what I'll have to start fucking doing in my dreams but it sounds like if I keep at it I'll be real too! Or not completely real, still not as real as the original real, but real enough to not need the rea
Nov 22 13:38:59 <Ululane> l me!"
Nov 22 13:40:20 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I see.  It is good to see another has succeeded as well, so let's celebrate then."  She pulls Melanie in and gives her a kiss.  On the lips.  Viciously.
Nov 22 13:41:33 <Knox> "Pfffffffffffffff-" he didn't expect that so he actually has a hard time holding in a laugh.
Nov 22 13:41:58 <Ululane> "Wha-mpfh!" Melanie is broken.
Nov 22 13:42:48 * Lesieli headtilits
Nov 22 13:43:05 <Knox> "Interesting one, isn't she?" he says amusedly to Alicia.
Nov 22 13:43:17 <Ululane> She's entirely too excited and confused to do anything about it and just goes along.
Nov 22 13:43:47 <Aori_Radidjiu> Miles has a big goofy grin.  "Hey John, do a few backflips and get me some popcorn before the bad guys do."  The weirdo chasing the Krabby gives a salute to Miles.  "IT IS A GOOD DAY TO DO WHAT MUST BE DONE BY ME!" and then he starts jumping from tree to tree ninja style through the park, eventually coming back with a few bowls of popcorn that Miles begins munching on.
Nov 22 13:46:25 <Ululane> The moment it ends, motor mouth starts back up. "Hey, can you still go to the dream world? Did you get kicked out of the important parts of it too? If you can still go, I have a domain there because I'm becoming a new god here named Ululane so you should totally check in sometime if you can!"
Nov 22 13:47:38 <Lesieli> https://data.archive.moe/board/a/image/1405/54/1405547968587.webm  Wow that took me too long to get
Nov 22 13:47:40 <Aori_Radidjiu> She nods.  "I will.  Do you wish to have a private meeting, as I believe we are not supposed to be providing entertainment."  Miles goes MUNCH MUNCH MUNCH
Nov 22 13:48:38 <Ululane> "Yeahsurewhateverwhatever!"
Nov 22 13:48:57 <Ululane> 4d6+4 Self focus check
Nov 22 13:48:57 <PsychoRoll> Ululane, Self focus check: 11 [4d6=1,2,1,3]
Nov 22 13:49:08 <Ululane> Faaaaaailed
Nov 22 13:49:10 <Aori_Radidjiu> Is that a failure?  I smell a failure
Nov 22 13:49:38 <Aori_Radidjiu> Nilly drags off Melanie to HER ROOM.
Nov 22 13:50:35 <Knox> He snorts. "Guess we're staying just a little bit longer. Well, we needed to wait for diving equipment anyway."
Nov 22 13:51:58 <Aori_Radidjiu> Alicia nods.  "I imagine you could get that easily from Lecia...well, if we're staying here for a bit, maybe we should all get dinner in a bit."
Nov 22 13:53:11 <Knox> "Sounds fine to me."
Nov 22 13:57:41 <Aori_Radidjiu> After a brief intermission, Alicia has you all meet up at a local steak place and EAT UP.  Good times to be had there.
Nov 22 13:58:33 <Ululane> What, good times IN THE PUBLIC RESTAUR- oh you didn't m-, carry on.
Nov 22 13:59:34 <Aori_Radidjiu> And after that you guys are free to go off or goof off.  Gran sends a message that he got Lecia to get diving suits ready (if you didn't inform them, then Jennifer did)
Nov 22 14:00:35 <Lesieli> Does that include diving suits for out Pokemon :D?
Nov 22 14:00:46 <Lesieli> . . . that smile thing didn't quite work there
Nov 22 14:00:52 <Ululane> :D?
Nov 22 14:01:03 <Aori_Radidjiu> :D?
Nov 22 14:01:14 <Lesieli> Oh shut it
Nov 22 14:01:26 * Knox goes to pick them up, then.
Nov 22 14:01:27 <Ululane> :|?
Nov 22 14:04:49 <Lesieli> So what's after our delicious Tauros Steaks?
Nov 22 14:07:23 <Aori_Radidjiu> TO THE LECIA CAVE
Nov 22 14:10:49 <Lesieli> It's a cave.  Enter (y/n)?
Nov 22 14:11:04 <Ululane> /xyzzy
Nov 22 14:11:44 <Aori_Radidjiu> Gran greets you all with a whole bunch of rubber/spandex/whateverish material in vaguely humanoid shapes.  "These fit loose, you put them on and then press a button on your wrist to make them constrict and fit.  It vacuum seals the suit.  For the head there is a helmet that can be fitted with the rebreathers you already have.  Questions?"
Nov 22 14:12:12 <Ululane> "...can you swim?"
Nov 22 14:13:13 <Lesieli> "Can we swim?"
Nov 22 14:13:20 * Mackenzie looks at the suits. "So we're goingto be this kind of a team now?"
Nov 22 14:13:35 <Ululane> Are the suits color coordinated?
Nov 22 14:13:46 <Lesieli> ^  This is very important
Nov 22 14:13:55 <Lesieli> Deciding who gets which color is also very important
Nov 22 14:14:00 <Knox> "Does the helmet have any additional functionality with the rebreathers, like an extended filter or something?"
Nov 22 14:14:48 <Knox> Essentially, what he's asking is if they still last as long as normal.
Nov 22 14:15:14 <Aori_Radidjiu> "There is improved filtration, along with an air storage expansion, some systems to help with pressure adjustment, and these suits have a dial near the vacuum seal button that can change the color of the suit.  It's on a rainbow spectrum."
Nov 22 14:16:04 <Lesieli> Leave it to Lecia to remember the important stuff.  Should never have doubted her in such things
Nov 22 14:16:43 <Ululane> Melanie snortgiggles. "Gotta love nerds..."
Nov 22 14:16:45 <Knox> "Wonderful." he says sarcastically about the colors. "How damage resistant are they? As in, can we fight in these things?"
Nov 22 14:17:30 <Aori_Radidjiu> "You should be able to, they should confer about as much protection as the Pirates Uniforms you were issued a while back."
Nov 22 14:17:44 <Ululane> "Should."
Nov 22 14:18:31 * Knox grumbles something about expensive armor.
Nov 22 14:18:46 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I say this not due to a great degree of uncertainty, but due to a lack of extensive testing.  This material is very sturdy, however, as ripping the suit would be quite disastrous for keeping yourself sealed.
Nov 22 14:18:47 <Aori_Radidjiu> "
Nov 22 14:19:24 <Aori_Radidjiu> The material, if you feel it, Knox, feels like a thinner, less reinforced version of your reflex suit
Nov 22 14:19:47 * Knox checks that out. "...Huh."
Nov 22 14:20:04 <Knox> Wait, this shit isn't interchangable, is it?
Nov 22 14:20:15 <Ululane> "Don't worry, Knoxy, at least you won't have to be giving up a garment you had effectively bonded to your identity!" She pats his back sarcastically.
Nov 22 14:21:39 <Knox> "Yeah, yeah, I understand I'm not the only one losing out."
Nov 22 14:22:12 <Knox> "...Though this stuff is actually pretty damn similiar to the armor I brought."
Nov 22 14:22:15 <Knox> *bought
Nov 22 14:23:49 <Aori_Radidjiu> Might be.
Nov 22 14:24:20 <Ululane> "We're all set then?"
Nov 22 14:24:22 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Similar?  I could see about the mistress tweaking it, although she is out at the moment."
Nov 22 14:24:25 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Maybe later."
Nov 22 14:24:25 <Knox> At least this isn't the invasive sort of body suit that sticks tubes up your urethra and whatever. Thanks, Knights of Sidonia.
Nov 22 14:24:45 <Ululane> ...yeah...too bad it isn't th- at least it isn't that.
Nov 22 14:25:54 <Mackenzie> Mackenzie scratches his head.  "It all seems fine by me."
Nov 22 14:26:03 <Knox> "Yeah, I think this'll do."
Nov 22 14:26:07 <Knox> "Thanks."
Nov 22 14:26:08 <Aori_Radidjiu> "There is a button near the vacuum seal button for undoing the seal and making the suit loose if need be."
Nov 22 14:26:30 <Knox> "I would hope so."
Nov 22 14:26:42 <Ululane> "...so are they wedgie proof?"
Nov 22 14:26:48 * Telume (~vash@Rizon-B88E3998.hsd1.fl.comcast.net) has joined
Nov 22 14:27:41 <Aori_Radidjiu> "The mistress spent much unnecessary testing making sure they are, yes."
Nov 22 14:28:12 <Ululane> "Hey, just because YOU'VE never experienced one doesn't mean it was unnecessary!"
Nov 22 14:29:08 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I imagine."
Nov 22 14:29:20 <Ululane> Melanie barely stops herself before saying something mean.
Nov 22 14:30:18 <Knox> "In any case, that'll be all, Gran. I'll leave the reflex suit here and see what Lecia says later - if she can't modify it without breaking something, I'll just wear the normal diving suit."
Nov 22 14:31:01 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Understood."
Nov 22 14:31:06 <Knox> "Do you know if the boltgun she made earlier is waterproof?"
Nov 22 14:31:19 <Knox> "Or can achieve workable velocity underwater?"
Nov 22 14:31:36 <Aori_Radidjiu> "It works when wet, yes."
Nov 22 14:31:47 <Knox> "That's what she said."
Nov 22 14:31:57 <Aori_Radidjiu> "And should be able to fire underwater."
Nov 22 14:32:06 <Ululane> Oh damn, Yo-Yo's do not work underwater..."Hey Gran, do you know any blacksmiths?"
Nov 22 14:32:25 <Aori_Radidjiu> "It may be more inaccurate than usual, however."
Nov 22 14:32:31 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I know Lecia."
Nov 22 14:32:31 <Lesieli> "So uh, there's no like, suits for pokemon are there?"
Nov 22 14:32:41 <Ululane> "Yeah no thanks, not her."
Nov 22 14:32:57 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I am not the gregarious sort."
Nov 22 14:33:09 <Ululane> "Okay, have you HEARD of any blacksmiths that aren't Lecia?"
Nov 22 14:33:26 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Pokemon...I believe we have some suits that can suit small humanoid pokemon."
Nov 22 14:34:10 <Aori_Radidjiu> "The legendary god of the forge...Vulcan.  The Craftknights...various other characters that appear in her games."
Nov 22 14:34:24 <Ululane> "Real ones. In real life. I hate you."
Nov 22 14:34:33 <Knox> He snickers.
Nov 22 14:34:33 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I do not."
Nov 22 14:35:45 <Aori_Radidjiu> "...I believe Lecia has described a member of a certain other PIRATES crew as 'like a Craftknight', but I have not seen his handiwork."
Nov 22 14:36:40 <Ululane> "Okay, so some guy somewhere sort of might resemble something that isn't real that may or may not have anything to do with what I need. Great help, buddy."
Nov 22 14:37:25 * Knox predicts an unsarcastic 'you're welcome' from Gran next.
Nov 22 14:37:27 <Ululane> "I'm gonna go pick up my egg, I'll see the rest of you back at the ship..." Seriously, goddamn robots.
Nov 22 14:38:03 <Knox> "Uh-huh. Be sure to say how it turned out."
Nov 22 14:38:54 <Aori_Radidjiu> "His name was Blaise Hart, a member of the S.S. PERFECTION, who I believe was stated to have the intention to create the ultimate weapon."
Nov 22 14:39:30 <Ululane> "Okay, well now we're getting somewhere, I guess, but I don't care about any ultimate weapon...Knoxy, I'm pretty sure it's going to turn out to be a pokemon."
Nov 22 14:40:17 <Knox> "You know damn well what I meant."
Nov 22 14:41:04 <Ululane> She sticks her tongue out as she walks backwards toward the exit. "Now chop chop, don't wanna keep our new friends waiting."
Nov 22 14:42:25 <Aori_Radidjiu> Gran hands Lesieli one of the small humanoid suits and you all go OFF, to run errands and whatnot
Nov 22 14:42:45 <Lesieli> Wheee, that'll help somewhat at least
Nov 22 14:43:13 <Lesieli> Oh, and obligatory question as to how the octahedron's coming?
Nov 22 14:43:47 <Aori_Radidjiu> "It is in development, we will deliver it when it is done."
Nov 22 14:43:55 <Lesieli> Ok, ok~
Nov 22 14:44:35 <Knox> errands indeed, and probably stopping because busyaori didn't prepare the city yet
Nov 22 14:44:43 <Knox> At the very least, Knox has nothing to do
Nov 22 14:44:46 <Aori_Radidjiu> Melanie shows up just in time to have the little thing jump out of its egg and onto the top of Mel's head.
Nov 22 14:44:47 <Knox> so if you guys wanna play out things
Nov 22 14:44:49 <Knox> go for it!
Nov 22 14:45:28 <Lesieli> I have backlog stuff to do, but I gotta leave in less than an hour
Nov 22 14:46:08 <Ululane> Melanie immediately hugs her terrifying squirmy...thing.
Nov 22 14:46:52 <Aori_Radidjiu> It chirps and sucks on one of your fingers.
Nov 22 14:48:50 <Ululane> "Aaaaw...gross."
Nov 22 14:50:49 <Aori_Radidjiu> And then it falls asleep in your arms.
Nov 22 14:50:51 <Aori_Radidjiu> NOW THEN
Nov 22 14:50:54 <Aori_Radidjiu> EARLIER
Nov 22 14:50:58 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mackenzie was doing a thing
Nov 22 14:51:11 * Mackenzie is in his room, and sends out Eileen.
Nov 22 14:51:27 <Aori_Radidjiu> Out pops Eileen.  "Hey!"
Nov 22 14:53:18 <Mackenzie> "Hey Eileen.  I've been wondering lately.  Why is it you began following me?  ...Which is to say, way back with the fan club itself.  Why me?"
Nov 22 14:54:46 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Hm?  Oh, it was...er...this is embarrassing..."  She clasps her hands in front of her and looks down on the ground, bashful.  "Well, b-basically, you were doing my job better than I ever could, and I kind of wanted to be like...like you."
Nov 22 14:56:06 <Mackenzie> "Your job?  What do you mean?"
Nov 22 14:56:46 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Well, um, I mean, I have the ability to sing and dance for people and to inspire them, so of course I'm supposed to do it..."
Nov 22 14:56:57 <Aori_Radidjiu> "But I was convinced I was no good...at doing that."
Nov 22 15:01:57 <Mackenzie> "Is that why you took up the whole hedge sculpting thing?"
Nov 22 15:02:28 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Um...yeah.  I figured it was better to find other talents for me..."
Nov 22 15:03:06 <Mackenzie> "...After we stop Aether, what do you think will happen after that?"
Nov 22 15:03:52 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Um...I don't know...I guess I'll try and go back to singing for people who might need it?"
Nov 22 15:07:26 * Mackenzie shifts in his seat. "I mean... I was wondering where you might see us in a few years."
Nov 22 15:08:27 <Aori_Radidjiu> "E-eeeeh?  Um, well...to be honest, I didn't think we'd be sticking together after this all blew over!"
Nov 22 15:11:27 <Mackenzie> "I mean...  Other than the crew, my career, and Jennifer, who makes that career happen, I don't really have any other significant people in my life."
Nov 22 15:13:42 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Oh, w-well I have no idea."
Nov 22 15:26:03 <Mackenzie> "Well...  I suppose the crew is waiting for us by now.  I just wanted you to know that I'm interested in, y'know.  Maybe taking a shot at spending my life with you."  ...At least I think it's not bad juju to be in a relationship with a legendary pokemon's human form if you know they're also a legendary pokemon?  I doubt I would have found that in a book.
Nov 22 15:27:06 <Aori_Radidjiu> Her face turns a deep crimson.  "O-oh, um, I'll...I'll think about it!"  She clicks her pokeball to put her back inside.
Nov 22 15:27:10 <Ululane> Are you kidding? Not only is that not bad juju, that is how you have legendary children!
Nov 22 15:30:46 * Mackenzie ponders that for a moment. At least it wasn't a no? Was she not expecting that was what I was hinting at? I'm not sure if using her in battle would be a tactful decision after saying something like that... But maybe it'll come as a token of trust? Geez, this is hard.
Nov 22 15:31:23 * Mackenzie scratches his head and heads out to meet the others.
