[17:20] <Sophia> TIME: January 14th, 20XX - Around noon. The location is Joe's Diner, the well known eatery near the park in Ivoryscape. Blahblahblahsettingblah.
06[17:21] * Sophia walks in quietly, looking quite the mess, her hair sopping wet and her clothes covered in some kind of brown mud. Despite her appearance, however, she locates a seat, coincidentally just behind Camellia's, and peruses the menu calmly, acting as if nothing is wrong.
06[17:23] * Grant rummages through the Diner's trashcans, searching for something with his Sneasel, Ithaqua. "Ah, what a wonderous find, my comrade! Truly, a shame that people throw so many delicacies away." he says while grabbing a half-eaten hamburger and munching it.
06[17:23] * Camellia doesn't notice Sophia walk in, as she's absorbed in reading a leather bound notebook. However, she turns around to flag down a waiter and..."Oh my gosh, are you okay?"
02[17:23] * Zuphyr (Zuphyr@sux-97A01ABC.hsd1.nm.comcast.net) Quit (Quit: )
[17:24] <zoofman> (I'll have Jamal pop in after a bit, working on something :3)
[17:24] <Vincent> (Grand Wizard Hayate Is watching always)
[17:25] <Sophia> "Ah, umm..." Sophia mutters, flipping idly through the menu. Turning around, she opens her mouth to ask Camellia a question but is interrupted by the woman's question. "Oh, I was out attempting to catch Wailmer when whatever it was I caught pulled me into the bay. I only lost my rod in the end, though."
[17:25] <Sophia> (Using fishing rods to catch Wailmer. Oh, Pokemon, will you never cease to amuse me?)
[17:26] <Camellia> "Um, I didn't know wailmer lived around here. Then again, I've only been in town two weeks. Doesn't sound like a good idea to try to catch them that way though!"
[17:27] <Grant> The Sneasel smiles as it eats a discarded steak. Grant smiles while saying: "The bloody shopkeepers will never let us buy anything, but i now realized it's for the best! And what ho, it's the lady from the desert there. I only hope she didn't realized i'm here, the prejudice against the ones who subside on the leftovers is terrible!"
[17:29] <Sophia> 1d20 Perception to notice Grant: As they say, if he can see you, you might see him.
[17:29] <DiceMaid-9001> Sophia, Perception to notice Grant: As they say, if he can see you, you might see him.: 1 [1d20=1]
[17:29] <Sophia> (FAIL)
[17:32] <Sophia> Sophia's face bears a wan smile as she moves a strand of limp hair from in front of her face. "Well, I suppose this is true. I don't believe I actually found a Wailmer, but whatever it was ended up being very strong indeed. I've heard they appear around here, but I only hope to catch one large enough to suit my... preferences."
[17:32] <Sophia> "I am Sophia, by the way."
03[17:32] * zoofman is now known as Jamal
[17:32] <Camellia> "Preferen- oh, I'm Camellia. It's nice to meet you."
[17:32] <Camellia> 1d20+5 notice the hobo going through the trash?
[17:33] <DiceMaid-9001> Camellia, notice the hobo going through the trash?: 13 [1d20=8]
06[17:33] * Jamal wanders into the diner, without noticing Grant, cause seriously, who LOOKS for hobos, and sits down at a random table in the diner. He's still mopin' around about philoshopical stuff.
06[17:33] * Camellia stands up abruptly, knocking her notebook to the ground near where Sopha is sitting.
03[17:34] * YellowYoshi is now known as PokerYoshi
03[17:34] * Mons (Mons@sux-530AA3AB.nap.wideopenwest.com) has left #AlthoRegion
[17:35] <Camellia> "W-who is..." Camellia trails off then sits back down, looking a bit less composed. "Sorry, just saw someone weird."
[17:36] <Sophia> 1d20-2 Dex check to catch it (Iseewutyoudidthar.jpg)
[17:36] <DiceMaid-9001> Sophia, Dex check to catch it (Iseewutyoudidthar.jpg): 3 [1d20=5]
[17:36] <Sophia> (More fail)
[17:36] <Grant> 1d20+4 notice i'm being noticed?
[17:36] <DiceMaid-9001> Grant, notice i'm being noticed?: 20 [1d20=16]
[17:37] <Jamal> 1d20 Jamal notice people are noticing things to notice
[17:37] <DiceMaid-9001> Jamal, Jamal notice people are noticing things to notice: 8 [1d20=8]
[17:37] <Jamal> "NOPE"
[17:37] <Sophia> Sophia sees the notebook tumble from its place on the table, and goes to catch it, but the muck in her hair slides down into her eyes and she misses wildly. Luckily, it wasn't going anywhere, so she retrieves it without worrying much. "Someone weird?"
06[17:38] * Grant glances at the person near Sophia. Is she staring at him?
[17:38] <Camellia> Sophia might notice the notebook is opened to a page with a sketch of a black cat when it fell on the ground, with notes scribbled all around it.
06[17:39] * Camellia turns to Sophia. "Sorry, yeah. There's someone eating out of the trash cans covered in Unown tattoos or something..."
[17:39] <Jamal> 1d20 overhear this
[17:39] <DiceMaid-9001> Jamal, overhear this: 4 [1d20=4]
[17:39] <Jamal> "NOPE"
[17:39] <Jamal> (this is, so fail)
[17:41] <Sophia> "Unown tatt- Oh, dear. Someone should tell him to come inside. There is no reason to be eating from the trash." Sophia says, handing the notebook back to Camellia. "What is it you do, Camellia? I couldn't help but notice your sketch in that notebook."
06[17:43] * Grant throws his food leftovers away and approaches the diner tables, somewhat curious.
06[17:44] * Camellia takes the notebook back, closes it, and quickly shoves it into her robes. "Um, just some research. It's a pokemon I saw the other day..."
06[17:45] * Jamal is totally the most distracted man ever, and is currently back to reading Crime and Punishment, WHICH TOTALLY EXISTS
[17:46] <Sophia> Blunt and unable to resist probing new people, Sophia persists. "You saw that the other day? Surely you have not. I did not know one existed any longer."
[17:47] <Sophia> (Black cat. Can I assume this is our potential made-up Altho legendary then? DO I GET TO NAME IT AND SHIT?)
[17:47] <Camellia> (Black Cat is an ACTUAL legendary that I have no OOC knowledge of besides that it is probably dark type. And it's quick to anger. ;_;)
[17:47] <Camellia> (if that changes anything, it's the actual one that appeared in session 2-D)
[17:48] <Sophia> (I didn't read 2-D. WELL WHATEVER TIME TO GOSSIP ABOUT LEGENDARIES!)
[17:48] <Grant> (The Black cat of ill omen)
[17:48] <Jamal> (The Cat in the Hat)
[17:48] <Camellia> (however, there was another legendary there that Camellia DIDN'T see, so feel free to make up everything sophia thinks she knows about that one once it's brought up?)
[17:48] <Grant> (It's Chen, i can feel it on my bones)
[17:49] <Sophia> (Which one? A legendary in session 2-D?)
[17:49] <Camellia> "You mean you've heard of this?" Camellia gives a skeptical look and slowly pulls the notebook back out.
[17:49] <Camellia> (Camellia learned from Salino that there were in fact two legendaries present in 2-D, though Camellia only saw/sensed one of them, which was the black cat)
06[17:52] * Grant suddenly stops and notices Jamal reading nearby. "...Ah, my disciple!"
[17:52] <Sophia> "Where I am from, our Matrons told us stories of a Pokemon of great power that would come through the desert, Felidante. It, paired with another, would romp and roll and churn the sands into a mighty storm that battered the homes of my ancestors. I have never seen it myself, but it is supposedly the origin of sandstorms in my land."
[17:52] <Sophia> 1d20 BECAUSE I FEEL A NAT 1 DESERVES A REROLL
[17:52] <DiceMaid-9001> Sophia, BECAUSE I FEEL A NAT 1 DESERVES A REROLL: 8 [1d20=8]
[17:53] <Sophia> (Loldicemaidhatesme.jpg) Sophia only barely misses noticing that Grant has enterred the diner.
[17:54] <Camellia> 1d10
[17:54] <DiceMaid-9001> Camellia, 1d10: 4 [1d10=4]
06[17:54] * Jamal puts down the book..."...WELL THIS IS TOTALLY AWKWARD."
[17:54] <Jamal> "I swear I didn't follow you here D:"
06[17:55] * Camellia flips through the notebook until she gets back to the page with the cat. Her hands are a bit shaky, so she gets stuck on a few pages while flipping. You might notice a few photos of feathers pasted in, etchings of what appear to be Unown, and sketches of large bird-like pokemon as she flips through.
[17:56] <Camellia> "Nothing about um, the spirit of battle, bad omens, or emotional flux?" She's going over her scribbled notes.
[17:56] <Jamal> "This is an intere- oh I didn't know you also had a sneasel!"
[17:56] <Grant> "Hahahaha, i'd know if you followed me, my disciple. I know that because i have an eye on my back. I mean, chest."
[17:56] <Grant> (Ehh, i used my Sneasel on the first session fight dude)
06[17:56] * Jamal releases THE DEPUTIES
[17:56] <Jamal> (you did? :O)
[17:56] <Grant> (Against the clowns)
[17:57] <Sophia> "Emotional... flux?" Sophia asks, trying to understand the meaning of the phrase. "What does that mean exactly?"
03[17:57] * PokerYoshi is now known as YellowYoshi
[17:57] <Jamal> (Well then, ignore I said that, or not, whatevs D:)
[17:58] <Jamal> Either way, Bravo hears the words, "black" and "cat" and walks over to the other table like :D
[17:58] <Sophia> (What is Bravo?)
[17:58] <Grant> "And yes, my comrade from before i was raptured, one of my few loyal friends i made during my righteous quest." He says while patpatting the black little weasel.
[17:58] <Jamal> (a Sneasel)
[17:59] <Jamal> "They are loyal little devils, can't deny that"
[17:59] <Sophia> (Cat? Sneasel? wellalright.png)
[17:59] <Jamal> (kinda looks like one :S)
06[17:59] * Camellia is too focused on her journal to notice. She responds to Sophia while scrutinizing her notes. "A Pokemon that's able to force someone to feel every emotion at once, their every desire amplified to become irresitible, their every fear turned into a living nightmare."
[18:00] <Grant> (Wait, you have one too?)
[18:00] <Jamal> (yes)
[18:01] <Grant> "Not loyalty, but friendship. The bond forged by the days we spend together, the obstacles we overcame and the wonders we have saw! Truly, it's one of the most beautiful things on this sinful world!"
[18:01] <Jamal> "speaking of which," he looks around, Charly is trying to read the book, sillyscytheryoucan'tread, and Alpha's trying to eat the napkin holder..."Where the hell did Bravo - BRAVO GET OVER HERE."
[18:01] <Jamal> 1d20 do I recognize Sophia D:
[18:01] <DiceMaid-9001> Jamal, do I recognize Sophia D:: 18 [1d20=18]
[18:02] <Sophia> "Ah, I see. The stories I am told speak of Felidante as a beast of bad luck, foretelling danger in travels, of hazards in the road ahead. Much of what I know gives reason to believe that the Pokemon affects the feelings of those it encounters. How did you come by this information?"
[18:02] <Jamal> "D: OH!  Hello, Sophia.  I believe we are mutual aquantiences."
[18:03] <Grant> "Watch out disci... Ah, another person from way back. The lady of the desert!"
[18:03] <Sophia> Turning, Sophia finally recognizes Grant and Jamal near her. "Oh, hello." She is still covered in muck, and some of it is dripping onto the floor of the diner, though Sophia doesn't seem to mind.
[18:04] <Camellia> "I know someone who supposedly experienced this pokemon's powers. Since I'm always traveling and learning about the lore of ancient pokemon, it was convenient for me to look int-" Camellia freezes as she looks up to see Grant approach.
[18:04] <Grant> (At least you were not rummaging through a fucking trashcan)
[18:04] <Sophia> (Sophia needs not to rummage. She is courteous and mysteriously wealthy.)
[18:04] <Jamal> "I believe we were never fully aquainted...would you mind if we joined you and your companion? - Alpha! Put that down!"
[18:05] <Grant> "And i see you have company." He looks at Camellia, still oblivious.
06[18:07] * Camellia looks down at the HUEG tattoo on Grant's chest, then back up at his face, then back at the tattoo, then back up. Seems at a loss for words.
[18:07] <Sophia> "I would not at all mind if you sat with us, that is, if Camellia also does not mind." Sophia says, turning and undoing the long braid in her hair to shake out the ribbon that once tied it back.
[18:07] <Sophia> "I am sure I smell heavenly to you all though." Sophia says, somewhat embarassed.
[18:08] <Grant> FIRST's eye stares back at Camellia.
06[18:08] * Jamal has no idea what the hell he's gotten himself into 8D
06[18:08] * Camellia gives Sophia a very obvious "Yes I do mind!" look.
[18:08] <Sophia> 1d20 COMMON SENSE CHECK
[18:08] <DiceMaid-9001> Sophia, COMMON SENSE CHECK: 4 [1d20=4]
[18:08] <Camellia> (dear lord)
02[18:08] * KujiUn (Kotodes@93D3A8D3.60ECF9E2.E096B1A4.IP) Quit (Ping timeout)
[18:09] <Sophia> Sophia takes the look to mean that she does, in fact, NOT mind, and gestures at the chairs by her table. "Grant, how has your campaigning gone as of late?"
[18:09] <Sophia> (Sometimes I can take advantage of Dicemaid's hatred for me. It's fun.)
[18:10] <Grant> "Ah, the proselytizing job has not been much fruitful, yet i believe Jamal here is on the right path. Yes, more people should have their minds open like him, for the Gospel of the Unown Hivemind to be spread through all Altho!"
06[18:10] * Camellia slinks her chair away from Grant, looking half-afraid, half-glowering. At this point Oolong (spiritomb) speaks up. 3 [Hey guy, don't they have a no shirt no service policy here?]
[18:11] <Sophia> 1d20 EMPATHS SHOULD NOTICE EMOTIONS, DICEMAID
[18:11] <DiceMaid-9001> Sophia, EMPATHS SHOULD NOTICE EMOTIONS, DICEMAID: 17 [1d20=17]
06[18:11] * Camellia visibly flinches at hearing the words "gospel of the Unown" and shuts her notebook.
06[18:11] * Jamal gets up and joins the others...who knows what the hell Alpha is trying to eat, silly baby bear.
[18:11] <Sophia> (And they do when I want them to.)
03[18:12] * KujiUn (Kotodes@93D3A8D3.60ECF9E2.E096B1A4.IP) has joined #AlthoRegion
[18:12] <Sophia> Reaching up, Sophia rests a hand on Camellia's shoulder, her aura exhibiting a strong positive and calming vibe. "Are you alright, my dear?"
[18:13] <Jamal> "Oh, and how rude of me to not introduce myself, miss," to the lady WITH OH MY GOD A TALKING WIZARD POKEMON, "I am Captain Jamal."
06[18:13] * Grant curiously looks at the Spiritomb. "Ah, you speak like you were a man, what a wondrous miracle! Yes, such a policy forces me to rummage through the trash, but hiding my beloved master FIRST from the world is a terible sin."
[18:14] <Camellia> "...I must have eaten something bad. Sorry, I'll be fine. It's nice to meet you Jamal, I'm Camellia." Her voice comes out slightly strained still despite Sophia's calming vibe.
[18:14] <Grant> "And you!" He turns to Camellia. "You seem to be an open-minded girl, have you ever heard about the Unown hivemind and how they are supposed to cleanse the world?"
[18:14] <Camellia> 3 [I'm as good as 108 men, I'll have you know!]
[18:15] <Jamal> "D: Keep in mind the last time we had this conversation, I hadn't slept for 72 hours, and was probably intoxicated."
[18:15] <Camellia> "...I know only that they are an abomination, a perversion of language and meaning."
[18:16] <Camellia> "Sorry, Sophia, I have nothing to say while this man is around. If you wish, we can speak further of ancient lore, but I would prefer it be in private."
06[18:16] * Grant mood suddenly turns from cheery to glum. "...This... Blasphemy, why do you talk like that?"
[18:17] <Sophia> Sophia's largely augmented Charisma is primarily focused on Camellia, attempting to ensure she maintains her composure. With this in mind, Sophia has little attention for the conversation at this point. "Grant, please bear in mind the willingness of another to listen."
06[18:17] * Jamal has enough CHA to know THIS WON'T ENDD WELL, so instead...
02[18:18] * KujiUn (Kotodes@93D3A8D3.60ECF9E2.E096B1A4.IP) Quit (Ping timeout)
[18:18] <Jamal> "Miss Sophia, I never got a chance to ask this when we first met, but I'm curious, how'd you meet Salino and that silly intern of ours?"
[18:18] <Grant> "Yes, yes... I am sorry for a sudden outburst, perhaps you should explain why you believe that sort of thing then? How can one believe the saviors of the sinful world to be abominations?"
[18:20] <Sophia> "Oh, Camellia, if you like, I have an apartment near the park if it would be more comfortable there, but please, do not be upset by anything. What bothers you so about- Oh, um, well, Salino and I met at a job I was working at for PokeFutures. He strained himself and I was obligated to relieve his pain at the time. I met... I think you refer to Kuji... through Salino."
[18:20] <Sophia> Sophia is not good at multi-tasking in conversations.
06[18:20] * Camellia ignores Grant. "Oolong, we're going." She stands up and begins heading to the counter to pay for her food. "Sophia, I'd really like to hear more of your people's tales. If we could visit your place to speak in private now, I would prefer it."
[18:21] <Jamal> ":O"
06[18:21] * Jamal checks to see if his breath smells bad
[18:21] <Camellia> 3 [Haha, you're one of those kooks too huh? The good lady doesn't much like your kind, sorry to say.]
[18:22] <Jamal> "OH MY GOD A TALKING GHOST"
[18:22] <Jamal> "are you a wizard?"
[18:22] <Sophia> Flustered that the tension in the room is so high, Sophia amps up her calming aura, trying to relieve Camellia's stress. It's getting somewhat palpable now, the psychic aura, that is. "Please don't leave, Camellia. I know that Grant means no harm to anyone."
[18:22] <Grant> "My kind? You both insult me and my believes and i'm a kook?" Grant's tone turns angry.
[18:22] <Camellia> 3 [You bet I am! I can put you to sleep with a magic spell, wanna see? :3]
[18:23] <Jamal> "Not really, I kind have got a train to catch later :I"
[18:23] <Jamal> "BUT OH MY GOD A WIZARD"
[18:23] <Camellia> "...Ignorance may intend no harm, but it causes it nonetheless."
[18:23] <Grant> "And now i'm called ignorant!"
[18:24] <Grant> "That's it, i'm through with only meeting my gospel with words on this Unown-forsaken city! Perhaps it's time to show EVERYONE! THAT MIGHT MAKES RIGHT!"
[18:25] <Camellia> 3 [Well, aren't you a poor audience. I'm inviting you up for take part in my tricks!]
[18:25] <Camellia> *to take part
[18:25] <Jamal> "oh noes what are you doing D:"
[18:25] <Sophia> "Please, I do not wish to see people in such conflict." Sophia's aura is less an aura and more a force now. Yes, a calming force. "Stop." She says quietly at first, a vein in her temple throbbing.
[18:26] <Jamal> "How about you put Alpha there to sleep?" He points to the bear who is still trying to eat a napkin holder
[18:26] <Camellia> 1d20
[18:26] <DiceMaid-9001> Camellia, 1d20: 12 [1d20=12]
[18:26] <Grant> FIRST detaches itself from Grant's chest, glowing a little with some... strange intent.
[18:27] <Camellia> 3[Of course! 8D] oolong's eyes swirl a bit and strange waves of energy pass over the bear. (hypnosis AC 6)
[18:27] <Sophia> "Stop," Sophia repeats, her voice raising in volume.
[18:27] <Grant> "I AM GRANT NULL, CHOSEN OF THE UNOWN AND MESSIAH OF ALTHO, AND YOU ALL WILL LISTEN TO ME!"
[18:27] <Jamal> Alpha freezes up for a second, the holder falls out of his mouth, and SNOOOOOOZE
[18:27] <Grant> 1d8 Glitch Weather
[18:27] <DiceMaid-9001> Grant, Glitch Weather: 6 [1d8=6]
[18:27] <Jamal> "D: Marvelous." he starts to clap slowly.  "I have to learn that trick, he's such a silly bear."
06[18:27] * Camellia has had enough. "Waiter! This man is harassing me. Oolong, come on, we're going."
[18:28] <Camellia> 3 Oolong bows, as best as a spiritomb can bow.
[18:29] <Sophia> Rising to her feet, Sophia pushes Grant physically with her Telekinesis, aiming to knock him across the restaurant as hard as she can. "I said stop!"
[18:29] <Grant> The space around Grant starts distorting, as his presence is corrupting it. (Trick Room)
[18:29] <Camellia> 3[Right, right, well, the good lady wants to leave now, so I'm afraid the rest of the show will have to wait!]
[18:29] <Grant> (Should we roll?)
06[18:29] * Jamal gassssp
06[18:29] * Jamal looks to Sophia, thinks...
[18:29] <Jamal> 1d20
[18:29] <DiceMaid-9001> Jamal, 1d20: 17 [1d20=17]
[18:30] <Grant> (No, for Camellia to throw me away)
[18:30] <Camellia> (Sophia was trying that. Camellia isn't a psychic. :O)
06[18:30] * Jamal dives behind a nearby booth, terrorfied. he peaks over the top cautiously.
[18:30] <Grant> (Oh derp)
[18:30] <Sophia> (What ACC should I roll for?)
[18:30] <Sophia> 1d20
[18:30] <DiceMaid-9001> Sophia, 1d20: 11 [1d20=11]
[18:30] <Grant> (Dex-1 derp)
[18:31] <Sophia> (What? What do you mean?)
06[18:31] * Grant is thrown like a ragdoll. "ARGH! YOU TOO?"
[18:31] <Grant> (Means that my AC sucks and you hit)
[18:31] <Sophia> (Oh, I see.)
06[18:32] * Jamal visibly scared.
06[18:32] * Camellia is starting to leave the diner, having paid for her food and wanting to avoid the commotion now.
[18:32] <Sophia> "I asked politely for you to respect Camellia's wishes and to resolve this like civilized individuals, but you obviously cannot understand that. I am a Guardian and I will not see harm come to her because you cannot comprehend her."
03[18:33] * KujiUn (Kotodes@93D3A8D3.60ECF9E2.E096B1A4.IP) has joined #AlthoRegion
[18:33] <Sophia> (HEY KUJI! GRANT AND SOPHIA ARE FIGHTING!)
[18:33] <Jamal> Bravo clutching Jamal's leg, also terrorfied.  Charly...is still trying to read.
[18:33] <KujiUn> (I want logs later.)
[18:33] <Jamal> "ohgodeveryoneiknowisawitchorwizardwhatdoido"
[18:33] <KujiUn> (I'm too busy reconnecting.)
[18:34] <Grant> "I WILL NOT LET EVERYTHING I BELIEVE... EVERYTHING I HAVE TO BE MOCKED!" Ithaqua hurries and helps Grant get on his feet.
[18:35] <Camellia> (Yoshi's gonna handle NPC waiters for us)
[18:35] <Sophia> "You lack stability in your beliefs then, if you let some amount of criticism affect you. Are you not their devout servant?"
[18:35] <Grant> "I... I'M TRHOUGH WITH EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU MOCKING MY MASTERS! I'LL GET RID OF EVERY LAST ONE OF YOU!"
[18:36] <Jamal> "Hey, just don't blow up the diner, I like this place :I"
[18:36] <Camellia> 1d20 AC 6
[18:36] <DiceMaid-9001> Camellia, AC 6: 17 [1d20=17]
06[18:36] * Sophia stands before Grant, her body physically blocking him from everyone else. "You will not provoke any further conflict."
[18:36] <YellowYoshi> A waitress nearby drops her tray and numerous plates of food drop to the floor as the commotion gets louder and more out of control. The crashing of numerous plates echoes throughout the diner and it becomes suddenly quiet ad everyone focuses attention to the chaos.
06[18:37] * Camellia is standing at the diner door. She pulls out a ceremonial knife and slashes herself on the left palm. Her eyes swirl and the same strange energy that came from Oolong wafts over Grant. (hypnosis)
[18:37] <Jamal> "what...did...she..."
06[18:37] * Grant jumps at Sophia, snarling a curse under his breath. "EVERYLASTONEOFYOU!"
[18:38] <Grant> 1d20 improvised attack
[18:38] <DiceMaid-9001> Grant, improvised attack: 10 [1d20=10]
[18:38] <Camellia> (Grant, you just got hypnosis'd)
[18:38] <YellowYoshi> Seeing conflict about to happen, the man behind the counter panics. Not knowing anything else to do he reaches over and pulls the fire alarm. Sirens screech out loudly and the sprinklers go off for some reason. Mass panic ensues as all the other patrons start rushing to get out.
[18:38] <Sophia> (Sophia is in the way.)
[18:38] <Sophia> (If you hit him, you probably also hit her.)
[18:38] <Jamal> 1d20 COVER COME YOUR FEARS, JAMAL
[18:38] <DiceMaid-9001> Jamal, COVER COME YOUR FEARS, JAMAL: 1 [1d20=1]
[18:38] <Jamal> (nope.)
[18:38] <Camellia> "He'll wake soon. I just didin't want anyone to get hurt." with that, Camellia leaves the diner.
03[18:38] * emptybox (emptybox@sux-8CD69FB.hsd1.va.comcast.net) has joined #AlthoRegion
03[18:39] * emptybox (emptybox@sux-8CD69FB.hsd1.va.comcast.net) has left #AlthoRegion
[18:39] <Camellia> (Actually, with the rules for increased AC for hitting someone with stuff in the way, hypnosis still hits and is one target)
[18:39] <Grant> (Well)
[18:39] <Sophia> (Oh, I see. Well then.)
[18:39] <Grant> (Remember i have Bugged Body)
[18:39] <Camellia> (oh, welll, Camellia doesn't know that)
[18:39] <Jamal> "what...did...she...just..."
[18:39] <Grant> roll 1d8 status effect
[18:39] <DiceMaid-9001> Grant, status effect: 1 [1d8=1]
[18:39] <Jamal> (inc Grant bursts into flames)
[18:39] <Grant> (Paralyzed lol)
[18:40] <Jamal> "..."
[18:40] <Sophia> (So, what happens when he jumps at Sophia?)
[18:40] <Grant> ...only to fall on the air, as his body turns completely numb. "I-i'll remember... t-that. I-ithaqua..."
[18:40] <Grant> (Covered that)
[18:40] <Sophia> (Gotcha)
[18:40] <YellowYoshi> You all are completely oblivious to the chaos around you apparently. As water falls from the sprinkler system like rain everyone else in the diner manages to escape. Looks like you are the only ones left in here.
[18:41] <Jamal> "You know what..."
[18:42] <Jamal> "I'm just gonna pretend I wasn't here, considering I'm technically off duty now, and..."
[18:42] <Sophia> 1d2 emotional question, dicemaid angry or sad
[18:42] <DiceMaid-9001> Sophia, emotional question, dicemaid angry or sad: 1 [1d2=1]
[18:42] <YellowYoshi> (for the lulz, you guys wanna do perception checks?)
[18:42] <Jamal> 1d20 Jamal sucks at these.
[18:42] <DiceMaid-9001> Jamal, Jamal sucks at these.: 13 [1d20=13]
[18:42] <Sophia> 1d20 perceptionokay
[18:42] <DiceMaid-9001> Sophia, perceptionokay: 18 [1d20=18]
06[18:42] * Grant whimpers as the Sneasel watches the situation confused. "I-i hate every last o-one of you. Y-y-you all h-have no i-i-idea"
[18:43] <Camellia> 1d20
[18:43] <DiceMaid-9001> Camellia, 1d20: 15 [1d20=15]
[18:43] <YellowYoshi> (grant? :D)
[18:43] <Grant> 1d20 perception derp
[18:43] <DiceMaid-9001> Grant, perception derp: 1 [1d20=1]
[18:43] <Jamal> "where the hell is that Trevor lad with his 20 paralzye heals when you need him."
[18:43] <Camellia> (whoops, forgot to apply wis, but I probably still see and a penalty from being outside looking in through a window is proably in order anyway)
01[18:43] <Trevor> ( Not here, sorry. )
[18:43] <Grant> (being paralyzed and raging makes someone distracted)
[18:43] <YellowYoshi> (alrighty then)
01[18:44] <Trevor> ( GMing, actually )
[18:44] <Jamal> (that was entirely a joke)
[18:44] <Grant> (Man, how Gabe is going to respond to that)
[18:44] <Sophia> "You hate yourself, not us. Learn to understand your own beliefs and you will not need to hate others." Sophia then impresses her force of calm directly upon Grant. (Calming Vibe. It calms Grant's angrymind.)
[18:45] <Jamal> (gabe, did you read it, gabe, did you read it, Gabe: ROCKS FALL, YOU ALL DIE)
[18:45] <YellowYoshi> Everyone except Grant comes to the realization that they are soaking wet and sirens are going off. That most likely means a fire stations will be notified and firetrucks will be sent. That also means it's like police will be sent to investigate what's going on. It's probably a good idea to get out of there.
[18:45] <YellowYoshi> (herpdepr my typing)
06[18:45] * Jamal moves over slowly, now scared of Sophia...
[18:46] <Jamal> "...You're...kinda stuck, I see, Grant.  Least it's not as bad as the time you combusted into flames."
[18:46] <Grant> "Y-you have it easy. You were not chosen, you h-had not to s-survive they w-way i d-did. I-i-i j-just want for the Gods to save e-every... save m-me."
[18:47] <KujiUn> (I wonder what time it is IC)
[18:47] <Grant> "...A-a-and m-maybe to make e-e-everyone suffer like m-me."
[18:47] <Grant> (Technically it's noon, no?)
[18:48] <Sophia> "Then you are selfish and this is not your true path. Perhaps you need reconcile yourself with these Gods." With that, Sophia turns away, her face still covered in water from the sprinklers. She is obviously crying, though the water makes it impossible to see tears.
[18:48] <Sophia> (It's probably been half an hour, maybe. Total.)
06[18:49] * Jamal looks to Sophia, "I don't know what kind of sorcery your friend used on him, and I honestly have no idea how things got that heated that quickly, but will you help me move him outside, at least? This isn't easy for me either, working with a...a...just don't curse me :("
06[18:49] * Camellia is standing outside the diner waiting for Sophia and finishing up a chat with Oolong. If you exit now, you might catch the tail end of the conversation. 3 [....a break, probably just one of those brainwashed folk.]
06[18:50] * Camellia sighs and walks inside and straight to the counter, holding a fistful of money. She hands it to the man standing behind it. "I'm so sorry. You guys aren't paid enough for this." With that, she leaves again.
[18:50] <Grant> "Y-y-you. D-d-don't you d-d-aaare look down on m-me...  Y-y-you h-have no idea... N-no idea! I-i'll make you p-pay o-one day... E-e-everyone w-w-will pay. Only Ithaqua and Z-zushakon... O-only they comprehend me!"
[18:51] <YellowYoshi> (he ran outside but you can toss the money on the counter or something)
[18:51] <Camellia> (in that case, I find him while outside. Probably easy enough given that I just paid hiim not a minute earlier)
03[18:52] * DiceMaid-9001 is now known as RichterBelmont
[18:52] <Sophia> Sophia turns to Jamal as she walks past him, her face profoundly sad. "I only wish for harmony," she replies before turning to lift Grant with telekinesis. "I will help move him outside." She puts a great wad of money from a pocket on the counter as she walks by as well. It's... a VERY large amount.
[18:52] <YellowYoshi> (how did I end up half-gming a mini-session idontevenknow)
06[18:53] * Jamal helps lift him, and walks him outside slowly
03[18:53] * RichterBelmont is now known as DiceMaid-9001
[18:53] <YellowYoshi> You all notice the crowd of people form the diner huddled outside. You also hear sirens in the distance.
06[18:53] * Jamal Charly drags the sleeping bear outside, and Bravo is totally failing when trying to help drag Grant out
[18:54] <Sophia> Outside, Sophia lays him down, and, without looking at Grant at all, walks away towards Camellia. "I am sorry I asked you to stay. I only wanted peace between friends of mine. Would you come back to my apartment, please? "
[18:54] <YellowYoshi> (hint: get the hell out of dodge while you can)
06[18:54] * Grant stays stiff, the poor Sneasel just following the others carry him outside. He mumbles. "...T-train."
[18:54] <Camellia> 3[Crazy friends you have miss! I don't think the good lady likes 'em!]
[18:55] <Camellia> "Yes, we should probably leave anyway."
02[18:55] * KujiUn (Kotodes@93D3A8D3.60ECF9E2.E096B1A4.IP) Quit (Ping timeout)
[18:56] <Jamal> ":I I'll stay long enough to instruct the officers to drop you off at the train station...and...get you a towel."
[18:57] <Sophia> "I am friends with all I meet, regardless of their natures, even if they do not reflect my attitude." Stepping gracefully forward despite her even more wrecked appearance and dress, Sophia says, "Follow me, please. I live not far from here."
[18:57] <Sophia> (Cast, if we can do that part tonight, that'd be great. I have to leave in a bit and need to shower now.)
[18:57] <Camellia> (Yeah, that works)
[18:58] <Jamal> (all jamal's attempts to make friends end like this, foreveralone ;_;)
03[18:58] * Camellia is now known as castfromhp
[18:58] <YellowYoshi> (And we assume Jamal works everything out with the police and crap)
[18:59] <Sophia> Turning back to Jamal, Sophia speaks telepathically to him without reading any of his thoughts. "I am sorry. Please come and visit me later. I will make tea."
[18:59] <YellowYoshi> (why is it that Grant can't do anything without the police being involved? XD)
[19:00] <Jamal> 1d20 how much did you just scare the living shit out of him
[19:00] <DiceMaid-9001> Jamal, how much did you just scare the living shit out of him: 18 [1d20=18]
[19:00] <Grant> (Trouble magnet)
[19:00] <Sophia> (Sophia is VERY VERY careful just to transmit and to not recieve, by the way.)
06[19:00] * Jamal goes stiff with fright, and then looks for something to hide behind...yet there is nothing.
06[19:00] * Jamal turns around slowly...looks to Grant, remembers their earlier conversation..."I'll...accept your offer, ;_;"
[19:01] <Sophia> (Is he talking to Grant?)
[19:02] <Jamal> (no, Sophia)
[19:02] <Jamal> (Grant made him think earlier about being more open minded about pscionics, he's not THAT evil :3)
[19:03] <Grant> (Not evil, just enthusiastic ;_;)
[19:03] <Sophia> (Then I think we're done for now. I'm off to shower and should be back in a few hours.)
03[19:04] * Sophia is now known as ShoweringTentacruel
