  1. Feb 13 20:06:53 <~zoofman> Last time we left off with Chase delivering a lengthy dialouge to The Everhungry, basically telling your whole story and what led you here. He listened intently, occasionally picking a little coral cube up with his tounge like it were a trunk on a Donphan. He would chew on them like bubblegum, and nod here and there.
  2. Feb 13 20:09:12 <~zoofman> Chase has just wrapped up his story. The Everhungry sits for a while, mulling over the information, before speaking. "Hmmmm...So the prisoners have become the wardens. Perhaps I should crush these Stag Lords once and for all. Hmmm?"
  3. Feb 13 20:09:38 »» Kain is now known as Chase
  4. Feb 13 20:10:26 <Genevieve> "That'd be one solution, sure. Might not need to get rid of them all though."
  5. Feb 13 20:13:33 <~zoofman> "And why would we desire to spare some of them? Hmmm?"
  6. Feb 13 20:13:40 <Chase> "Their isolation might as well be what's responsible for all this. They've been brought up from the rest of the world, convinced of certain views of the world and manipulated based on that." he shakes his head. "They're only a symptom anyway, not the disease."
  7. Feb 13 20:15:01 <Genevieve> "And if you're looking to just flatten a whole faction, the Stag Lords are low hanging fruit."
  8. Feb 13 20:18:40 <Chase> "Their special apricorns used to catch your followers are presumably a direct gift from the Banisher himself. This is a guy who's been schemin' away since time immemorial. We remove one of his follower factions and he'll just find someone else to manipulate eventually."
  9. Feb 13 20:19:09 <~zoofman> "A symptom, low hanging fruit...Their significance in this conflict is not my concern. I may not appear it, but I am irate with these blasphemers. Surely, you sought to wake me knowing full well that their actions would cause me great anger? I will not tolerate this, they will be dealt with."
  10. Feb 13 20:20:22 <~zoofman> "...Though what you say is true. This is a serpent that must be beheaded at the neck."
  11. Feb 13 20:20:50 <Genevieve> "To be honest, we're used to dealing with gods with less physical presence. I hadn't really considered 'just get rid of them' as an option."
  12. Feb 13 20:23:08 <Chase> He has a look back at Pi. "Your father is Tialoc, right? The Stag Lord's leader. That tribe and your people have mixed for centuries... can we have your input on this?"
  13. Feb 13 20:27:16 <~zoofman> Pi's expression matches that of a child who just watched a Lillipup get punted into a meat grinder. "But...but...it's not even just me, all of us are family with them! If you destroyed the entire village, Mr. Everhungry, that'd...that'd be so mean."
  14. Feb 13 20:29:05 <Genevieve> "Does seem like something the rest of the sirens should discuss."
  15. Feb 13 20:29:16 <Chase> He nods, turning back to the Everhungry. "Their tribe and the Sirens are interlinked, one way or another. All I ask is that you turn your great and unfathomable anger on the serpent, as you put it."
  16. Feb 13 20:30:33 <~zoofman> "...Oh come on it's not fair if you have a face like that one." The fish mumbles, and thinks on the matter. "You are right. I neglected to consider that aspect of matters. To blindly crush them is to hurt myself as well."
  17. Feb 13 20:33:21 <Chase> Chase bows his head in respect for a moment. "Thank you."
  18. Feb 13 20:36:08 <Chase> "Was there anything else you wanted to ask?"
  19. Feb 13 20:36:22 <~zoofman> "I have as much a bone to pick with this Banisher as my brethren do. My powers are not subtle, however, and to strike against them would be dificult to do without mass destruction. I can, however, support your efforts against them through other means. Storms, flooding, typhoons, and of course, the assistance of my devout."
  20. Feb 13 20:37:08 »» Genevieve shakes her head. "I don't think so. He's awake, brought up to speed, and willing to act if need be. This is pretty much everything I could have hoped."
  21. Feb 13 20:37:10 <Chase> He nods. "We will definitely need those boons in the time to come."
  22. Feb 13 20:37:14 <Chase> He nods at Gen.
  23. Feb 13 20:39:56 <~zoofman> Richard Parker has a concerned frown. "I reckon it will not be long until the other lords make their grand apparation upon our realm as well. Part of me fears that this is exactly what our enemy hopes for."
  24. Feb 13 20:40:16 <Chase> "You think they -want- us to bring everyone to bear?"
  25. Feb 13 20:40:28 <Genevieve> "Of course."
  26. Feb 13 20:41:44 <Chase> "Both factions are trying to make their own new type and apparently Grant needs to kill one of the gods off, but..."
  27. Feb 13 20:42:16 <Genevieve> "Then rather than try to break in, they can lure one out."
  28. Feb 13 20:43:18 <~zoofman> "I think it's within the realm of possibilities, at least," he says. "I can hardly imagine the thought process of an alien God. He is brazen, cunning, or both. We'll soon know."
  29. Feb 13 20:43:58 <Chase> "Either way, two left..."
  30. Feb 13 20:45:39 <Genevieve> "Hopefully Rose is getting the Stag Lords problem solved for now."
  31. Feb 13 20:46:58 <Chase> "Everhungry, you're familiar with the old temple of the Broken Lord? We know that the Banisher's followers intend to try and conquer the island for some reason. They might need the shrine itself for some reason, since the newborn hasn't really woken up yet. It might be a great time to decimate their forces with an unexpected counterattack. We'll need to speak with the mountain
  32. Feb 13 20:46:58 <Chase> tribe there, who we've helped before, and the forest tribe worships the Banisher so they're right out, but if we could have the aid of the Sirens when that time comes, it'd be a great help."
  33. Feb 13 20:47:14 <~zoofman> Gen's necklace flashes. <The old guy has a point, but frankly I'm sick of sitting around myself. The fish will be able to handle his own issues with his own followers, but the rest of these bastards...well, personal introductions will be in order.>
  34. Feb 13 20:47:45 <~zoofman> Then Chase's, <They asked for an opening act, well, they'll get one.>
  35. Feb 13 20:48:04 <Chase> "Sounds like a hell of a show to me!"
  36. Feb 13 20:48:17 <Genevieve> "You two realize you're idea guys, right? You really shouldn't be getting into places where you could get killed."
  37. Feb 13 20:49:11 <Chase> "What, you're not curious to see what hell they can let loose?"
  38. Feb 13 20:50:44 <Chase> "We haven't even really got a big demonstration of what they can do, just a taste here and there."
  39. Feb 13 20:50:50 <Chase> "I think it'll be fine, personally."
  40. Feb 13 20:51:05 <Genevieve> "I'm just saying, we need to be careful about choosing when. The Banisher still has the advantage here."
  41. Feb 13 20:51:43 <Chase> "Yeah, guess you got a point."
  42. Feb 13 20:52:20 <~zoofman> The Everhungry nods. "I know of it. Are you suggesting I focus my attention there, and leave the fate of The Stag Lords in the hands of mortals?"
  43. Feb 13 20:54:01 <Genevieve> "For now, I think that might work out the best. We have a team trying to neuter any threat they pose at the moment, but Grant is so militarized that getting close to him is too dangerous for us."
  44. Feb 13 20:54:01 <Chase> "Well, that's the thing. We've got someone on cutting off their supply of apricorns right now. After that's said and done... I'm more likely to think the rest of the stag lords and their craft will be devoted towards the island operation. Could be wrong, though."
  45. Feb 13 20:54:26 <Chase> "So honestly I'm not sure I can answer that just yet."
  46. Feb 13 20:55:28 <~zoofman> "Hrm..." He chews on a coral piece, and eventually spits a necklace out - copper with a sapphire, much like Mr. Parker's. It lands in front of Pi.
  47. Feb 13 20:56:38 <~zoofman> "I reckon you are not the nimble lad you once were anymore, Richard. I had a Champion in mind...on reserve...but they are unaware of it. Pi, you will deliver this to them. I will watch from afar."
  48. Feb 13 20:59:52 <Genevieve> "Really? Anyone we know?"
  49. Feb 13 21:00:24 <Chase> "I guess we'll see."
  50. Feb 13 21:00:24 <~zoofman> Pi gives an "EUUUUUUUH?" in the background. Richard laughs. "I can't say I would be much help on the front lines, no. Defending the home base is more my angle now of days."
  51. Feb 13 21:00:57 <Chase> Chase grins. "You've already helped us quite a bit, Mr. Parker."
  52. Feb 13 21:01:19 <Genevieve> "Definitely, thank you."
  53. Feb 13 21:01:19 <Chase> "And you too, Pi. Thanks again."
  54. Feb 13 21:05:37 <~zoofman> Everhungry hrms. "You may very well know the person, but I know them not by face or name." <Pretentious god talk for 'he picks at random',> Deciever srnks. "I heard that, sluggo."
  55. Feb 13 21:05:56 <Chase> Chase snickers a bit.
  56. Feb 13 21:06:07 <Chase> "Well, no matter, it'll all work out."
  57. Feb 13 21:06:59 <Chase> "We'll bring the Banisher's little empire down around his ears."
  58. Feb 13 21:07:20 <~zoofman> "Save your thanks until the Stag Lords are dealt with. This is simply retribution and my own responsibility. These tribesmen were mine to watch over."
  59. Feb 13 21:08:59 <Genevieve> "Consider them saved, then. Is there anything we can help you with, then?"
  60. Feb 13 21:12:32 <~zoofman> "When you do require my aid, I will request an offering...of fine, European chocolates. Those with hazelnut, especially."
  61. Feb 13 21:14:00 <Chase> "Gourmet hazelnut chocolates, got it." Chase nods. "We'll get on the case."
  62. Feb 13 21:17:07 <Genevieve> "Rose can track those down."
  63. Feb 13 21:18:59 <~zoofman> "Excellent. May the waters treat you well on your return. The Kraken will not harass you in the future."
  64. Feb 13 21:21:40 <Genevieve> "I think we can head back then, yeah?"
  65. Feb 13 21:22:17 <Chase> "I think that takes care of most business, but..." he looks over at Pi.
  66. Feb 13 21:22:32 <Chase> Then back at Gen. "We could probably ask a few questions while we're here.."
  67. Feb 13 21:23:20 »» Genevieve waves. "Ask away."
  68. Feb 13 21:23:47 <Chase> He looks back at Pi. "Pi... do you mind telling us about... your powers?"
  69. Feb 13 21:26:26 <~zoofman> Pi seemed rather focused on the necklace, but snaps to attention when you address her. "...Are you sure you want to? The others always...get upset when I do stuff."
  70. Feb 13 21:27:48 <Genevieve> "We're pretty well versed in weird, don't worry."
  71. Feb 13 21:29:11 <Chase> "From what I understand, the Banisher imbued your father with his power, and some of that passed on to you. I figure that's why everyone's always given you such a hard time... But despite that, you're not at fault. It's like what I said back there. We'd just like to hear about what this is, exactly."
  72. Feb 13 21:29:38 <~zoofman> She gulps and holds an arm up, as if she were gripping a trident and holding it upward. "Okay...Starlight Breaker! Mysteria Ward!"
  73. Feb 13 21:30:26 <~zoofman> She literally seems to explode in a bloody mess, blood shooting straight out of her as her actual body starts to glow like an Evolution. Heck, her entire arm that she was holding up -did- explode, you could even see bone before she started to glow.
  74. Feb 13 21:31:11 <~zoofman> The blood reforms around her, and when she starts to glow she's standing there holding a rather wicked looking bone trident, and red, coraly armor.
  75. Feb 13 21:31:25 <Genevieve> "Huh."
  76. Feb 13 21:31:46 <~zoofman> The Everhungry's mouth is ajar. "Maybe she DOES have butt disease," jokes Mr. Richard, who is surprisingly not shaken.
  77. Feb 13 21:32:05 <Chase> "...oh shit."
  78. Feb 13 21:32:25 ---» Break__ (Break__@sux-2D9000F0.lsanca.fios.verizon.net) has Joined #easternislesrhapsody
  79. Feb 13 21:32:34 <Chase> His mouth is a little ajar, too. "Are... you alright?"
  80. Feb 13 21:32:55 <~zoofman> "Yeah of course I am!"
  81. Feb 13 21:33:15 <~zoofman> She doesn't really seem phased by what just happened. "Everyone always has that reaction. I don't get why..."
  82. Feb 13 21:33:51 <Genevieve> "We'll record it for you some time. What's with the get up?"
  83. Feb 13 21:34:37 «--- Break (Break__@sux-2D9000F0.lsanca.fios.verizon.net) has Quit (Ping timeout)
  84. Feb 13 21:35:49 <~zoofman> "It's...uh...I guess like a transformation! Like how Pokemon get bigger and tougher, only temporary."
  85. Feb 13 21:36:39 <Genevieve> "Sort of like what Alice does." She looks at Chase. "You think Alice has Banisher on tap somehow?"
  86. Feb 13 21:37:43 <~zoofman> "Isn't this more like...there was a cartoon when I was your age," Mr. Parker coments. "Sailor Moon?"
  87. Feb 13 21:37:47 <~zoofman> "Just...darker."
  88. Feb 13 21:39:05 <Chase> Chase shakes his head. "Hell if I know. But I guess things like this just aren't out of the league of gods."
  89. Feb 13 21:39:47 <Chase> He looks at Pi. "So that's what happens... alright, thanks Pi. That satisfies my curiosity a little bit."
  90. Feb 13 21:40:38 <Chase> To Richard, he says, "Yeah, some kind of magical girl shit? Mr. Jenks and Saryx might get a kick out of it. ..maybe. I dunno, that just looked painful."
  91. Feb 13 21:41:23 <Genevieve> "I don't know if it's moe enough for Jenks."
  92. Feb 13 21:42:02 <~zoofman> "You must attract many Sharpedos, Pi." She tilts her head. "How did you know that, Mr Parker?"
  93. Feb 13 21:42:40 <Genevieve> "Sweetie, when you transform, your body splits apart and recombines. Explosively."
  94. Feb 13 21:43:39 <Chase> "Yeah, she's right... does it seem different to you?" he asks, an uncertain look on his face.
  95. Feb 13 21:43:44 <~zoofman> "Ooooh...that explains a lot!"
  96. Feb 13 21:44:18 <Chase> He has a look over Pi's aura while she's in this form, curious if he can see anything different.
  97. Feb 13 21:44:24 <~zoofman> "Like how when I use my super special voice attack it tastes like I bit into a fresh fishy!"
  98. Feb 13 21:44:38 <~zoofman> "Well...it looks...pink, sparkly..."
  99. Feb 13 21:45:22 <~zoofman> There's a thin veil of pink on the surface, and THICK RED AND BLACK MIASMA.
  100. Feb 13 21:46:04 <Chase> "So it's cute to you and horrifying to everyone else... sheez, no wonder."
  101. Feb 13 21:47:29 <Chase> "Even your aura looks off..." he flicks his vision off. "I still don't blame you, though. Just remember, it's up to you what to do with this power of yours."
  102. Feb 13 21:48:08 <Genevieve> "Unless Banisher can mind control you or something."
  103. Feb 13 21:48:18 <Chase> "Well let's hope that ain't the case."
  104. Feb 13 21:49:02 <~zoofman> Luckily when the transformation ends, it's less violent. The weapon and armor just fade away like mist.
  105. Feb 13 21:49:44 <Chase> "I have a feeling Banisher did this on purpose, though. To make everyone around you ostacize you. To make you feel lonely. And then probably to take advantage of you when you were vulnerable. That seems to be his game so far and more or less what he did to your dad."
  106. Feb 13 21:50:03 <Chase> "Stay strong, aite, girl?"
  107. Feb 13 21:51:21 <Genevieve> "Yeah, be careful. And if you end up needing help, try to talk to us and we'll do whatever we can."
  108. Feb 13 21:54:48 <~zoofman> Pi seems to be mulling this over. Looks like she realizes just how much you guys know about her and her family already. "You guys seem to know everything...huh...when did it start getting really bad again..? When I found that..." her voice trails off.
  109. Feb 13 21:55:55 <Chase> "I was given visions about Tialoc, about what he went through. It took a second when we first saw you, but... you have his hair."
  110. Feb 13 21:56:27 <Genevieve> "We hardly know everything. We're learning something new everyday, feels like."
  111. Feb 13 21:56:54 <Chase> He raises an eyebrow. "You found something?"
  112. Feb 13 21:58:07 <~zoofman> "I got something you guys might find interesting, but I got to go find it! I, um, hid it somewhere. I'll fetch it while I'm delivering this necklace!"
  113. Feb 13 21:58:22 <Chase> He nods. "Alright, thanks. That might be worth a look."
  114. Feb 13 21:59:42 <~zoofman> She slithers on ahead, but seems to be waiting on you guys before actually swimming off.
  115. Feb 13 22:00:18 »» Genevieve walks over to the sub and climbs back in to power up.
  116. Feb 13 22:00:22 <Chase> He follows her.
  117. Feb 13 22:01:23 <~zoofman> Mr. Parker also comes with. The Sirens continue to watch you guys from afar as you head back to the submarine.
  118. Feb 13 22:02:57 <~zoofman> Pi's swimming around in the water here. Once she sees you guys entering the submarine, she darts on down the watery cavern way.
  119. Feb 13 22:03:48 »» Genevieve waits around long enough to help get Mr. Parker back in the sub, then dives down after Pi. "Hid it, huh."
  120. Feb 13 22:04:17 <Chase> "Something she didn't want the other Sirens to see?"
  121. Feb 13 22:05:06 <Genevieve> "Probably. Possibly something she knew she wasn't supposed to find then."
  122. Feb 13 22:05:08 <Chase> "Either way I feel bad for the poor girl. She seemed fairly well adjusted all things considered, but."
  123. Feb 13 22:07:04 <~zoofman> Mr. Parker taps his chin. "The Sirens raise their young communitively, and abandoning an outcast isn't entirely an option. She might have been ostracized, but I imagine the Matriarch would have insisted she was still cared for."
  124. Feb 13 22:07:34 <~zoofman> "Not the best of news to hear she is captured as well, but I have faith that much of this is reversable."
  125. Feb 13 22:07:38 <Chase> "Yeah, but she's not exactly here anymore, and you saw that they were more than willing to make decisions 'in her honor'."
  126. Feb 13 22:08:07 <Chase> "I have a feeling things might have gotten nasty if they kept on like that."
  127. Feb 13 22:08:24 <Chase> "Either way, yes. We're looking into that."
  128. Feb 13 22:08:53 <Genevieve> "Good thing we stepped in. Foodcoma Fish can take care of it now."
  129. Feb 13 22:10:22 <Chase> He sighs a bit. "So, how does it feel, Mr. Parker?" he doesn't really specify the question, looking out the window.
  130. Feb 13 22:11:10 <~zoofman> "It was...very different than I last recall."
  131. Feb 13 22:12:45 <~zoofman> "I recall young men being amongst the Sirens, human ones. And there were even a few other devout to The Everhungry who resided there at least part of the year. The Everhungry himself is much as he was then, but the atmosphere...very different. They are scared, hopeless. It does not sit well with me."
  132. Feb 13 22:14:06 <Chase> He nods and watches the water as they move on.
  133. Feb 13 22:14:41 <~zoofman> Once you guys make your way back through the coral, Pi splits from you - she waves as she heads off.
  134. Feb 13 22:15:05 <~zoofman> I suppose you guys are heading back to Red Blade?
  135. Feb 13 22:15:09 <Chase> He waves back.
  136. Feb 13 22:15:16 <Genevieve> That would be a good plan.
  137. Feb 13 22:15:25 <Chase> Yeah, I can't think of anywhere else we'd go.
  138. Feb 13 22:16:48 <~zoofman> Okay, so
  139. Feb 13 22:18:19 <~zoofman> About two hours pass of you guys traveling along the surface of the water again, not running into much but the occasional large Water Pokemon or seeing a boat in the distance here and there.
  140. Feb 13 22:18:22 <~zoofman> Roll me perception.
  141. Feb 13 22:18:28 <Genevieve> 2d6+3
  142. Feb 13 22:18:28 <DiceMaid-9001> Genevieve, 2d6+3: 10 [2d6=1,6]
  143. Feb 13 22:19:04 <Chase> 2d6 And two AP
  144. Feb 13 22:19:05 <DiceMaid-9001> Chase, And two AP: 7 [2d6=3,4]
  145. Feb 13 22:20:32 <~zoofman> THWUMP.
  146. Feb 13 22:20:45 <Chase> "The fuck?!"
  147. Feb 13 22:21:03 <Chase> "What is it? Another kraken?"
  148. Feb 13 22:21:11 <~zoofman> Something hits the side of the submarine, like it ran into it. thwump thwump thwump.
  149. Feb 13 22:21:34 <~zoofman> It sounds like something's banging on the side of the vessel, you can hear a gilled scream.
  150. Feb 13 22:21:43 <Chase> He looks out of the porthole.
  151. Feb 13 22:23:24 <Chase> Or failing that - they're on the surface now so he might climb up the ladder and have a look from up top.
  152. Feb 13 22:23:37 »» Genevieve sets the controls to keep the sub level and goes to the top hatch, since they're at the surface. "I bet Pi got into trouble. Get her out of there."
  153. Feb 13 22:24:09 <~zoofman> Looking out the porthole, you see something blue heading toward you, but it's a good bit off.
  154. Feb 13 22:24:17 <~zoofman> You can't see what's hitting the ship by porthole.
  155. Feb 13 22:24:35 <Chase> <Hello? Pi??> he calls out, following Gen out.
  156. Feb 13 22:24:45 <~zoofman> But when you guys get on top, you can see, yes, Pi, flailing and screaming and hitting the side of the ship. "Aaaaaaah!"
  157. Feb 13 22:25:14 <Genevieve> "Need a ride?" She tosses out Fabre to scoop her out of the ocean.
  158. Feb 13 22:25:16 <~zoofman> She scrambles on top of the vessel and clings to Gen's legs. "Savemesavemesavemesaveme."
  159. Feb 13 22:25:24 <Chase> "Shit! What's wrong?? What's chasing you?"
  160. Feb 13 22:25:26 <~zoofman> Fabre's help certainly gets her up faster.
  161. Feb 13 22:26:03 <Genevieve> "Just get in and explain while we run away, yeah?"
  162. Feb 13 22:26:24 <~zoofman> She nods and jumps in.
  163. Feb 13 22:26:29 <~zoofman> Or, more like falls in
  164. Feb 13 22:26:33 <~zoofman> She can't into ladders well.
  165. Feb 13 22:27:17 <Chase> He grits his teeth and heads back down, too. "Could just fight it, maybe. At least up here we got air... But I guess we still got the sub to worry about too."
  166. Feb 13 22:28:15 <Genevieve> "We also have a freaked out Siren and Mr. Parker, so let's just get going." She recalls Fabre and heads back down to the controls.
  167. Feb 13 22:28:30 <Chase> He shuts the hatch after them.
  168. Feb 13 22:29:00 »» Genevieve flips a couple switches to set the sub back in drive and brings it up to speed.
  169. Feb 13 22:29:40 <Chase> He peers back out the porthole as they go, watching. "Alright, so what's the trouble?"
  170. Feb 13 22:30:19 <~zoofman> Pi scrambles to something to cling onto and does so. Looking out the porthole, you can see what was chasing her better.
  171. Feb 13 22:31:06 <~zoofman> It looks like...those bidoof super troopers you saw, but with aquatic suits. And large, blue and white, ovular Pokemon. They have beady black eyes, and wicked smiles. Each of them is about the size of a Blastoise.
  172. Feb 13 22:32:25 <Chase> "...Oh you are fucking with me. Looks like Banisher's Bidoof Batallion, Brine Buster edition."
  173. Feb 13 22:32:54 <Genevieve> "Makes me extra less interested in trying to fight them at the moment."
  174. Feb 13 22:33:39 <~zoofman> You guys can both tell the ovular ones are like...bloated Azumarils.
  175. Feb 13 22:34:48 <Chase> "Step on it, then. How far are we from Red Blade? At the very least if going to town won't shake them we can organize ourselves at the docks."
  176. Feb 13 22:35:06 <Chase> "Pi, what happened?" he asks her.
  177. Feb 13 22:35:42 <~zoofman> Mr. Parker hrms, " I'd say we're fairly close. Thirty minutes, tops. Could sustain a chase for that long, I imagine."
  178. Feb 13 22:36:36 <Chase> "We might not can get out of this without a fight. Hold on to your asses either way."
  179. Feb 13 22:36:54 <~zoofman> Pi's rather shaken, but mutters, "T-they tried to capture me. W-with nets and harpoons, and there was...one of those balls Dad put Mom in."
  180. Feb 13 22:37:31 <Genevieve> "The temple must be under watch."
  181. Feb 13 22:38:54 <Chase> "Are you okay?" he looks over her real quick. "Don't worry, Pi, you're safe with us."
  182. Feb 13 22:41:00 <Genevieve> "Do you, like, need water or anything?"
  183. Feb 13 22:41:49 <~zoofman> "I think I'm okay...I can breath fine. If it gets dry...I can deal with it for now."
  184. Feb 13 22:43:00 <~zoofman> The Azumarills and Doofer Divers do pursue you. They can't really -catch up- to you but show no intention of stopping.
  185. Feb 13 22:44:42 <Chase> "I can't really think of anytthing we can do to shake them or slow them down..."
  186. Feb 13 22:44:58 <Genevieve> "Get Red Blade on the radio, tell them we're coming in hot with hostiles in pursuit."
  187. Feb 13 22:45:38 <Chase> (Hm, Red Blade Port was a separate place from Red Blade City, right?)
  188. Feb 13 22:45:45 <Chase> (Like we had to ride a train to get there)
  189. Feb 13 22:46:09 <~zoofman> (That is correct)
  190. Feb 13 22:46:17 »» Chase nods and grabs the radio in the meantime. Well, hell, -is- it capable of reaching the military base?
  191. Feb 13 22:46:34 <~zoofman> "I could send one of my friends after them, if we slowed down long enough for me to release them. But ambushing them at port side...probably cleaner."
  192. Feb 13 22:47:11 <Chase> "Come to think of it, if we can capture them..."
  193. Feb 13 22:47:20 <Chase> He hangs on that note with the radio, not yet making a call.
  194. Feb 13 22:47:30 <Chase> "Think the military would scare them off?"
  195. Feb 13 22:48:05 <Chase> "Ah, hell, probably better to at least request something so civillians don't get hurt."
  196. Feb 13 22:48:40 <~zoofman> "It's five or six Pokemon - I doubt they'd charge head first into heavy artillery, no."
  197. Feb 13 22:49:58 <Genevieve> "We just need them to clear civilians out and get someone there to escort Parker and Pi to safety."
  198. Feb 13 22:52:33 <~zoofman> Mr. Parker chuckles as he releases a Phione from a Pokeball. He speaks to it in Indian briefly, and it floats over starts to keep Pi's attention as you guys haul ass to port.
  199. Feb 13 22:53:52 <~zoofman> Do you radio anything in, Chase?
  200. Feb 13 22:54:49 <Chase> "Right.." He calls in to the Red Blade base if the radio on the sub can reach. "Calling Red Blade, calling Red Blade. This is Chase Violet with the explorer team Zodiac Braves. We're coming into port with hostiles on our tail and we plan to engage. We want to make sure civillians are well out of the way before that happens."
  201. Feb 13 22:57:42 <~zoofman> "Red Blade here - this is Coast Guard Patrol. What sort of hostiles are we talking here?" responds a mans voice. "We can clear out the north end of the docks fairly fast. Do you have injured personel? Require backup firepower?"
  202. Feb 13 22:59:55 <Chase> "Heavily armored pokemon. It's a long story, CGP. Everyone is uninjured at the moment by the looks of it, backup fire not requested. We have intent to capture - not scare them off. Hopefully we won't fuck this up."
  203. Feb 13 23:01:25 <~zoofman> "Like a Fiend or something? Geez, it's that intent on eating you? Alright, we'll clear the area and leave you to it."
  204. Feb 13 23:01:58 <Chase> "Appreciated. Braves out."
  205. Feb 13 23:03:02 <Chase> He clicks the radio off. "There, I think that covers our asses well enough."
  206. Feb 13 23:03:11 <Chase> "You heard the man, north side of the docks."
  207. Feb 13 23:04:14 <Chase> "Probably better they think it's Fiends, the truth ain't as easy to swallow."
  208. Feb 13 23:04:27 »» Genevieve nods and gets ready to head that way once the port is nearby.
  209. Feb 13 23:04:38 <~zoofman> Mr. Parker laughs. "It's a lot more believable than armored Bidoofs, to be honest."
  210. Feb 13 23:05:14 <~zoofman> A few minutes of pursuit pass before you guys make it to port. As promised, north end is clear of people and other vessels. Just your sub and a concrete stretch.
  211. Feb 13 23:06:03 <Chase> Chase shows a brief interest in the Phione during that stretch of time but he keeps his mind focused, ready to help Pi and Parker out when the sub gets there.
  212. Feb 13 23:06:30 »» Genevieve slows the sub down enough to get it to the docks safely. "Alright, everyone get ready, then."
  213. Feb 13 23:08:28 <~zoofman> Parker has no issue getting himself out with the help of his Gyrados. "I can get out of harms way just fine, myself. Do you want me to take Pi with me, or perhaps leave her be while you handle these six?"
  214. Feb 13 23:09:34 <Chase> "If Pi stays here, she risks getting captured. We'll catch up to you two later."
  215. Feb 13 23:09:52 <Genevieve> "Exactly. Pi's escape is priority now."
  216. Feb 13 23:12:42 <Chase> "Two of us and our pokemon against the six of them, huh..."
  217. Feb 13 23:12:43 <~zoofman> Mr Parker thinks for a few moments on how to handle this discretely. Which eventually turns into her being convinced to fit in his Gyrados's mouth while he goes to find a blanket and wheel chair.
  218. Feb 13 23:13:00 <~zoofman> Other than that, Mr. Parker's Phione sticks with you guys!
  219. Feb 13 23:13:03 <Chase> "We've handled worse odds."
  220. Feb 13 23:13:17 »» Chase nods at the Phione. "Course, any backup is appreciated."
  221. Feb 13 23:13:31 <Genevieve> "Yes, thank you. Let's do this."
  222. Feb 13 23:13:52 <Chase> He gets out his guitar and gets ready to rock, facing the sea head on.
  223. Feb 13 23:14:10 <Chase> And just because he probably has a round to set it up, he Resonated Detect onto Gen.

  227. Feb 13 23:15:24 <~zoofman> Next come the bloated, large Azumarills. They smile, revealing toothless maws that can unhinge like a snake's.

  505. Feb 13 20:09:18 <zoofman> As for Rosetta...
  506. Feb 13 20:09:43 <zoofman> We left off with Yanala, Jeramiah, and Rosetta descending down a ladder into a secret room.
  507. Feb 13 20:11:04 <zoofman> You've just reached the bottom of it. It's a dark chamber bored into the tree itself. You can hear the hum of an electric generator not far off, and low power fluorescent bulbs coat the room in a orange, yellowish glow.
  508. Feb 13 20:11:26 <zoofman> Nothing's really stored here by the ladder, it's just a curving hallway. Roll me Perception.

  518. Feb 13 20:22:08 <zoofman> The other two nod, brandishing their own non-lethal weapons of choice, and you guys sneak along the hallway silently as you can.
  519. Feb 13 20:24:07 <zoofman> The pathway bends into a proper work room, with several tables and work stations with work tools and electronic devices. A box of hempen sacks can be seen in the corner of the room, and a few sacks filled with contents as well. There's a middle aged man working at one of the work stations. He's clearly a Wildling, wearing no shirt, tattered pants, no shoes, and several tattoos and piercings.
  520. Feb 13 20:24:19 <zoofman> He's facing your direction, but hasn't noticed you yet, engrossed in his work.
  521. Feb 13 20:26:48 »» Rosetta ducks down, sweeping her eyes left to right, then up and down to make sure there's no one else here or any surveillance devices. If the coast is clear, she takes careful aim at the man and pulls the trigger on the tranq gun.

  526. Feb 13 20:28:56 <zoofman> he was standing, so he sorta fwumped over the work table. Jeramiah swiftly moves over to bind the man. Yanala heads to the exit here to watch guard. "Hell of a shot..." she mentions, honestly impressed.
  527. Feb 13 20:29:31 »» Rosetta beams back to Yanala and motions the others forward as she slowly slinks along, pulling an Unown out and looking for an inconspicuous spot to plant a Glyph.
  528. Feb 13 20:33:04 <zoofman> It's a circular room with a single flourescent light in the center of the cieling. You do reckon you could sneak one under a table, or on the inner face of one of the table legs, though.
  529. Feb 13 20:34:37 »» Rosetta slips one on the side of a table leg then, figuring it'd give a better angle for viewing and someone's less likely to reach there and touch it.
  530. Feb 13 20:34:58 <Rosetta> Then she hops very quietly in place as she looks over the area.
  531. Feb 13 20:36:59 <Rosetta> Do there seem to be special apricorn-y tools?
  532. Feb 13 20:37:17 <zoofman> The tools on the work stations...quite frankly you're not really sure what they all are for. None of them look super high tech, though. You reckon you could get most of them at a hardware store, it's really only the larger tools you don't recognize.
  533. Feb 13 20:38:00 <zoofman> Jeramiah points at what the guy was working on - the machine he was handling has a half finished Apricorn Ball with a rainbow gleem to it. And there's a few of them in a sack on the work station.
  534. Feb 13 20:38:08 <Rosetta> "You guys recognize any of this stuff?" Rosetta whispers.
  535. Feb 13 20:38:15 <Rosetta> "Ah, shiny."
  536. Feb 13 20:41:20 <Rosetta> "You think this is their only one?" How complicated and/or MYSTICAL looking does this machine seem to be? Is it just like an ordinary apricorn ball making apparatus?
  537. Feb 13 20:44:43 <zoofman> "Their only what? Device? Hardly," Jeramiah points around the room. They got plenty of them. About ten total. "It doesn't appear heavily modified, honestly..." He seems more interested in something that looks like a high tech blender.
  538. Feb 13 20:45:25 <zoofman> It's got a spherical vase, blending bottom, and a rather complex looking base with a lot of doohickies. "No clue what this is."

  542. Feb 13 20:46:49 <DiceMaid-9001> Rosetta, tech edu?: 8 [3d6=5,1,1]
  543. Feb 13 20:47:58 <zoofman> Oh, oh
  544. Feb 13 20:48:00 <zoofman> It reminds you of
  545. Feb 13 20:48:43 <zoofman> A NINJA. You've seen these on Amazon. Perfect for margaritas. http://www.amazon.com/Ninja-NJ600-Professional-Blender/dp/B003VWXXXK
  546. Feb 13 20:49:32 <Rosetta> "Either they're using this basement for margarita parties, or this thing's more than it seems."
  547. Feb 13 20:49:43 <zoofman> "Perhaps they simply thought getting them as gifts would look less suspicious..."
  548. Feb 13 20:50:08 <zoofman> "This cannot be just a normal blender, no. Hrm."
  549. Feb 13 20:50:25 <Rosetta> "Does it look like they gotta do any special processing between plucking the rainbow apricorns off the bush and putting them through the machine you think? I'm tryin' to think of just what it'd take to cut 'em off, yeah?"
  550. Feb 13 20:53:25 <zoofman> "I believe it's very much the apricorns themselves." He picks up a raw one that's lieing on the table. It's..rather shiny, not really glowy, but it has a very reflective surface and as he turns it around, it goes through a full color spectrum.
  551. Feb 13 20:53:50 <Rosetta> "Then what's all this stuff down here for that's not the apricorn machines?"
  552. Feb 13 20:57:25 »» Rosetta looks for anything else that looks particularly out of place here, tools-wise.
  553. Feb 13 20:57:26 <zoofman> Jeramiah shakes his head. "I don't -know-." He fiddles with the blender out of frustration, and there's suddenly a BEEP
  554. Feb 13 20:57:46 <Rosetta> "Oh shit. Can you quiet that thing down?"
  555. Feb 13 20:57:48 <zoofman> A little slot pops open and a few vials of a red, plasma like substance pop out.
  556. Feb 13 20:58:07 »» Rosetta tilts her head. "Blood?"
  557. Feb 13 20:58:23 <zoofman> He does panic as well when it makes a sound...Yanala even hurries back in to see what happened.
  558. Feb 13 20:58:51 <zoofman> He picks up one of the vials, looks over it, hands it to you. "I...don't know. Sort of looks like it."
  559. Feb 13 20:59:49 <Rosetta> "We'll give it to Gen to look at when we get back." Rosetta holds it up to the light as she examines it.
  560. Feb 13 21:03:20 <zoofman> It's a thick reddish liquid, it does seem very blood-like. But...something's off about it. It's, if you had to guess, a bit thicker than you'd expect a vial of blood to be. Much darker shade of red, and has hints of...gold in it, like glitter almost.
  561. Feb 13 21:05:23 »» Rosetta slips it into a pocket and wraps it in some cloth or sticks it in a spare glove so it won't break.
  562. Feb 13 21:06:08 <Rosetta> "Alright, focusing back on our objective here, what do we gotta fuck up here to stop them making these balls? Definitely the apricorn trees upstairs...Guess we should take tis blender and anything that goes with it?"
  563. Feb 13 21:06:44 »» Rosetta hops in place again as she looks for anything that might go with processing blood or other bodily fluids. Centrifuges maybe? Other medical equipment?
  564. Feb 13 21:08:09 <zoofman> "There's another room below this one," Yanala mentions. "I did not peek into it yet, but it appears empty."
  565. Feb 13 21:08:20 <zoofman> "Or, rather, no one is there at the moment."
  566. Feb 13 21:09:12 <Rosetta> "Let's take a look then, yeah?"
  567. Feb 13 21:09:12 <zoofman> This room seems much more focused on the Apricorn Balls, Rosetta. The blenders only appear to be here because there's a gasoline power generator.
  568. Feb 13 21:11:33 <Rosetta> "This is the only way in, right? There's not a tunnel in the other room that heads out elsewhere in the village, is there?" Rosetta whispers as she heads down toward the second room, after making sure either she or Jeremiah grab all the finished apricorn balls.
  569. Feb 13 21:12:59 <zoofman> He's got the sack of them with him. You guys double check, and find that there weren't any more with this guy.
  570. Feb 13 21:14:01 <zoofman> Down below...you find out that's not really true. You can see the light of the photoluminescent mushrooms through the cracks of a pair of cellar doors on the far side of the dark room.
  571. Feb 13 21:14:24 <zoofman> There's no light down here, Yanal and Jeramiah flip on their night vision. "Ick." Yanala remarks at the sight.
  572. Feb 13 21:14:38 »» Rosetta pulls down her goggles too.
  573. Feb 13 21:15:24 <Rosetta> "Hope no one's coming from that way." Rosetta glances down at her shadow. "Hey, Dolore, wanna hide in the shadows under the door and keep lookout?"
  574. Feb 13 21:17:46 <zoofman> Looks a lot like the torture room in The Temple of Xipe Totec meets the lab you met Junior in There's unlit candles, a discection table, racks of butchering equiptment on the wall, a red stained wash basin, and lots of freaky organs and skeletal pieces and such in jars along shelves bored into the walls.
  575. Feb 13 21:18:02 <zoofman> Dolore gives an affirmative grunt and slides under the door.
  576. Feb 13 21:18:12 <Rosetta> "Oh gross, guess that explains the blender. Sort of."

  580. Feb 13 21:19:43 <zoofman> Yanala and Jeramiah start to poke around the room as well. You notice something really WEIRD among the tools.
  581. Feb 13 21:20:14 <zoofman> They got a few things you'd use for like, prepping fruits. Pairing knives and the little tools you pick seeds out with.
  582. Feb 13 21:21:26 <Rosetta> "Do you normally use these for prepping apricorn balls?" Rosetta telekinetically lifts a few of the tools, not wanting to touch them. "Or...torture? Dissection?" She makes a face.
  583. Feb 13 21:22:39 <zoofman> Yanala looks over them and shakes her head. "Look at the other stuff, this is all for discection, from the looks of it, not torture. Why do need something like this..?"
  584. Feb 13 21:23:41 <Rosetta> "You think they use this stuff on the Grass Type hybrids then? Ones that might have fruit on them like Tropius or whatnot..."
  585. Feb 13 21:24:03 <Rosetta> "Or no, that doesn't make sense."
  586. Feb 13 21:24:24 <Rosetta> "Cause the grass ones are with the Banisher, yeah?" Rosetta keeps thinking as she spins the tools in the air and walking around the room.
  587. Feb 13 21:25:26 <Rosetta> "Can either of you tell anything about these?" Rosetta nods toward the jars of body parts.
  588. Feb 13 21:28:05 <zoofman> Jeramiah is looking over them at the moment. "They are all hearts. Of various species of Pokemon." He picks up a jar with a what looks like a...red rock in it. "This one is a Gigalith heart, I think. That or a Golem...or an Onix..."
  589. Feb 13 21:28:15 <zoofman> "...Or maybe it's just a rock. But the rest I'm pretty sure are hearts."
  590. Feb 13 21:30:31 <Rosetta> "Gigalith? Huh, I wonder..." Rosetta goes up for a closer look. "We fought a kid who basically turned into a Gigalith back in Goldport. But I didn't think that was the sorta thing Jennifer would need help from the Stag Lords to do..."
  591. Feb 13 21:32:39 <zoofman> "...What if it's the opposite?"
  592. Feb 13 21:33:18 <Rosetta> "Whatcha mean?" Rosetta is squinting at the jars in a vain attempt to identify the other pokehearts.

  597. Feb 13 21:36:57 <zoofman> You spot a Xatu heart.
  598. Feb 13 21:37:04 <zoofman> You know it's a Xatu heart because you are the birdbrain.
  599. Feb 13 21:37:09 <zoofman> But that's the only one you recognize.
  600. Feb 13 21:37:36 <Rosetta> "I don't like that possibility at all." :<
  601. Feb 13 21:38:05 <Rosetta> "Still, I don't get why you need the paring knife and stuff down here, unless it's just for them to have a snack while they work..."
  602. Feb 13 21:38:45 <Rosetta> "There any instructions around here? I'm guessing what gets taken out here goes in the blender, but knowing exactly how it works might be handy."
  603. Feb 13 21:41:02 <zoofman> "We have a living, breathing one upstairs. Though that could compromise us."
  604. Feb 13 21:42:07 <Rosetta> "Let's apricorn ball him on the way out then."
  605. Feb 13 21:42:35 <zoofman> Yanala stares at you. Jeramiah starts to say something, considers it, and then hrms. "You know, that's not a bad idea at all."
  606. Feb 13 21:45:06 »» Rosetta beams. "Anyway, uh, don't think there's much we can really take from this room that's worthwhile, is there?" She takes a last glance around.
  607. Feb 13 21:45:49 <zoofman> "I think we'd arouse enough suspicion just capturing one of them. So no, not really."
  608. Feb 13 21:47:59 <Rosetta> Rosetta begins to walk back up to the other room, lifting her goggles as she does. "Yeah, but we're going to make a scene inevitably when we burn down their apricorn trees or whtaever too. Hm I still don't get it. Why a blender? You like...use a centrifuge for blood work and stuff, yeah? I don't really know that well. Can't stand needles." :< She reaches back in her pocket and takes out the vial, lifting it to the light a
  609. Feb 13 21:47:59 <Rosetta> gain. "Huh, golden flecks..."
  610. Feb 13 21:55:54 <zoofman> "I found those odd too, but wasn't sure what to think of them," Jeramiah mentions. "And...yes, I suppose if we're to set the trees ablaze, we should move quickly."
  611. Feb 13 21:56:59 <Rosetta> "Well, the only thing golden around here's those panacea apples growing upstairs. Weird thing to blend with...blood and guts though."
  612. Feb 13 21:57:24 <Rosetta> "Either way, we should take some samples of those and the raw apricorns before we go, yeah? And chuck a ball at that dude." Rosetta nods toward the unconscious craftsman.
  613. Feb 13 21:59:06 <zoofman> Jeramiah nods as you guys head back. He offers one of the functional balls to you guys. "So who wants to do this?"
  614. Feb 13 21:59:30 »» Rosetta nose goes.
  615. Feb 13 21:59:56 <zoofman> Jeramiah as well.
  616. Feb 13 22:00:27 <zoofman> So Yanala :<'s, takes it, and walks over and baps the unconcious man. He's sucked up, just like a Pokemon would be. Click click ding.
  617. Feb 13 22:00:40 <zoofman> "Jerks," she mutters as she heads back to the ladder.
  618. Feb 13 22:02:09 <zoofman> Back upstairs, Shawyun and Spooky Hooves are looking toward the central hut.
  619. Feb 13 22:02:58 <Rosetta> "Sorry." Rosetta says with a small laugh. "Man, that looked....too normal. Just like any Poke Ball working." She shivers a bit, the climbs on up. "How are we doing, Shawyun?" She whispers.
  620. Feb 13 22:04:49 <zoofman> "Da burr is still keeping most the guards busy. Looks like boss man isn't super concerned about it, cause not much activity by the chief's tikihut. Think we can sneak down and get to the trees without hassle."
  621. Feb 13 22:05:55 <Rosetta> "Shiny." Rosetta looks down to her shadow to make sure Dolore followed her back up when they all left the cellar, then back up. "You guys ready then? What's the plan, just start a big fire, then fly out?"
  622. Feb 13 22:06:16 <Rosetta> "I brought Anima along - she's a Volcarona and can start a pretty big fire."
  623. Feb 13 22:08:03 <zoofman> Dolore seems to come from the roots of the tree - the cellar doors appear to be hidden along its base.
  624. Feb 13 22:08:26 <Rosetta> "Sneaky design there." Rosetta mutters.
  625. Feb 13 22:08:48 <zoofman> Jeramiah evaluates the scene. "We could swoop in guns blazing, or travel on foot through that trap door."
  626. Feb 13 22:10:04 <Rosetta> "We're gonna be seen as soon as we start roasting the trees, but if we can sneak up so we catch 'em off guard and get away while they're still in shock..."
  627. Feb 13 22:10:26 <zoofman> His own flier of choice is a Hydreigon that he and Yanala shared. And you know Shawyun's got the pegasus horse, so fire bombing is a very real possibility.
  628. Feb 13 22:11:35 <Rosetta> "We've gotta grab samples anyway, so let's sneak up through the trapdoor, snatch a few, then make a nice little inferno as we take off."
  629. Feb 13 22:14:05 <zoofman> "That we shall," Yanala has a srsly expression as she starts back down the ladder, a second time. Shawyun has to return Spooky Hooves to get down, but it takes you guys less than 2 minutes to get down to the cellar door.
  630. Feb 13 22:15:49 »» Rosetta reaches a hand in her pocket and keeps it touching two poke balls - Glissani for her getaway, and Anima for FIRE. She hops down after Yanala and gets ready to telekinetically snatch some apples and apricorns once they hop out.
  631. Feb 13 22:15:57 <zoofman> Jeramiah unhinges it from the inside, cracking it open slowly. Outside, you can see just a few of those weird flower Pokemons amongst the trees, but the armed guards are still out.
  632. Feb 13 22:16:38 <zoofman> You guys got about a football field distance to cross before you get to the apples. How do you approach, with stealth, or a blitz?
  633. Feb 13 22:16:46 <Rosetta> "Try to keep things as contained as possible to the special apricorns, yeah? As much as...that's possible."
  634. Feb 13 22:17:13 <Rosetta> "Let's sneak up, but be ready to dash in if we get spotted."
  635. Feb 13 22:19:02 <zoofman> "It'll be a...rapid dash," Shawyun says as he starts sneaking across.
  636. Feb 13 22:19:26 <zoofman> Yanala: "He didn't just make that joke. Did he?" She sighs and teleport jumps, much like Rosetta would.
  637. Feb 13 22:20:20 <zoofman> Jeramiah holds back a laugh and starts to move across the field in a very careful, professional manner. Roll me stealth Rosetta
  638. Feb 13 22:20:39 »» Rosetta shrugs. "I wouldn't say it's farfetch'd he did." And then teleports as well.

  642. Feb 13 22:22:08 <zoofman> Specially with rolls like that.
  643. Feb 13 22:22:47 <zoofman> You guys slowly make your way to the lit gazebo, which houses ten trees. Nine with the apricorns, one with the apples.
  644. Feb 13 22:25:19 »» Rosetta gets ready to snatch some of each. How many people are around this area?
  645. Feb 13 22:26:51 <zoofman> You don't see anyone around here.
  646. Feb 13 22:27:01 <zoofman> Though as you guys enter, you can hear a conversation from above you.
  647. Feb 13 22:27:22 <zoofman> It's in Wildling, so you don't pick up QUITE everything, but
  648. Feb 13 22:27:23 »» Rosetta strains to listen, one hand still on her poke balls.
  649. Feb 13 22:28:35 <zoofman> It sounds like someone talking to Tialoc about the Jika that Jeramiah sent out, and how it's still at large.
  650. Feb 13 22:29:36 <zoofman> Tialoc's response sounds like. "...Tell them to return. We must repair the walls. Something could just walk in at the moment."
  651. Feb 13 22:29:37 »» Rosetta mouthes "Let's hurry" to the others as she starts to pluck off apricorns with her telekinesis.
  652. Feb 13 22:32:18 <zoofman> The others start to pluck a few as well, though everyone seems to have a Pokeball ready. Once you get a solid amount of them, Shawyun looks at the apple tree. "Golden friggen apples, who woulda expected THAT?"
  653. Feb 13 22:33:49 <Rosetta> "Yeah, take a few of those too. They've been blending them with Pokemon guts or something. Uh, I think Gen might be able to figure out more when we're back."
  654. Feb 13 22:34:06 <zoofman> Shawyun reaches up and picks one.
  655. Feb 13 22:34:23 <zoofman> It frowns. "Feels...weird."
  656. Feb 13 22:34:26 <zoofman> "Like putty."
  657. Feb 13 22:34:31 <zoofman> He offers it to you to try to hold.
  658. Feb 13 22:35:56 <Rosetta> "Putty?" Rosetta goes full paranoid and opens up a can of soda before taking the apple, dipping a finger in before grabbing it. "Better not be like...ditto fruit."
  659. Feb 13 22:37:07 <zoofman> Hahahaha.
  660. Feb 13 22:37:22 <zoofman> The fruit makes a ._____. face as you touch it, and screams.
  661. Feb 13 22:37:26 <zoofman> Screams at the top of its lungs.
  662. Feb 13 22:37:51 <zoofman> Which causes Shawyun, still wearing his horse mask, to scream as well.
  663. Feb 13 22:38:18 »» Rosetta splashes soda everywhere.
  664. Feb 13 22:38:36 <Rosetta> then slams down her poke ball with Anima in it.
  665. Feb 13 22:38:51 <zoofman> Yanala looks over and sees what happened, and takes out a soda herself and throws it over several of the apples. A few apples start screaming, some don't. She tugs the ones that don't.
  666. Feb 13 22:39:09 <zoofman> Jeramiah is having none of this and has his Hydreigon out and ready.
  667. Feb 13 22:40:03 <zoofman> Anima pops out, super confused by screaming apples.
  668. Feb 13 22:40:53 »» Rosetta just looks to Anima and jerks a finger toward all the trees.
  669. Feb 13 22:40:58 <zoofman> "This is what we get for pretending to be made of glucose!!!!! Aaaaah!" screams a Ditto.

  674. Feb 13 22:43:58 <Rosetta> Anima unleashes a torrent of molten material over the trees as Rosetta gets ready to release Glissani and to fly out.
  675. Feb 13 22:44:10 <zoofman> and Shawyun releases his Pegadash, which barfs a Flamethrower on the apple tree.

  679. Feb 13 22:45:00 »» Rosetta lets out Glissani and hops on to fly out, having Anima follow along to help cover their retreat.
  680. Feb 13 22:47:56 <zoofman> This is hardly a stealthy exit - as you guys rise, Tialoc and a few other shamans can clearly see you and your Pokemon make your exit. It's hard to say what his expression is, as he's wearing a mask, but he seems tense.
  681. Feb 13 22:48:48 <Rosetta> "Now's a good time to make sure Sudden Tempest is ready to help us get out, yeah?" Rosetta calls out as they fly.
  682. Feb 13 22:49:52 <zoofman> "That it is!" Jeramiah directs his dragon in that direction a you guys soar over the swamp.
  683. Feb 13 22:50:19 <zoofman> Along the way, you spot the Jika faux-fighting with some Doofer Troopers. Jeramiah returns it as you swoop over.
  684. Feb 13 22:53:37 <zoofman> As you guys return to the rendevous point, Sudden Tempest is mounted on his Skarmory, and the Rockit Brothers on their Mantine and Gliscer. "Hells bells. You guys really torched the place huh?" Tempest calls out.
  685. Feb 13 22:54:12 <Rosetta> "They had a fucking ditto tree!"
  686. Feb 13 22:54:58 <zoofman> "Like a Sudowoo-" "NO, A LITERAL FUCKING DITTO TREE. I ALMOST -ATE- ONE." Shawyun yells.
  687. Feb 13 22:58:23 <Rosetta> "Is anything chasing us? Why didn't we make water balloons with soda before this?"
  688. Feb 13 22:58:52 <zoofman> Sudden Tempest blinks a few times. "Good God you're serious aren't you. And...yeah, we got company coming." He points behind you.
  689. Feb 13 22:59:09 »» Rosetta glances back
  690. Feb 13 22:59:26 <zoofman> You see Doofer Troopers...rising from the marshlands. They have those weird ass flower Pokemon on their backs, acting like mini helicopters.
  691. Feb 13 22:59:39 <zoofman> "This is the weirdest shit," Tempest mutters.
  692. Feb 13 23:00:02 <Rosetta> "What."
  693. Feb 13 23:00:38 <zoofman> "Well what's your game plan, folks? Make a stand or book it?" Tempest asks.
  694. Feb 13 23:01:29 <Rosetta> "They're not gonna chase us into civilization's my bet. And those flowers don't look too fast. Let's fly."
  695. Feb 13 23:04:03 <zoofman> The others assess that for a little. "I...think you're right, they can fly but we'll outrun them," Jeramiah agrees.
  696. Feb 13 23:05:31 <Rosetta> "Then let's go!" Rosetta urges Glissani on faster.
  697. Feb 13 23:07:25 <zoofman> You guys make with haste to New Ivyhollow! It's pretty easy to outpace the Doofer Troopers...but your Pokemon are pretty tired by the time you guys practically crashland on each other at the agreed on location - behind Professor Spore's green house.
  698. Feb 13 23:08:43 <Rosetta> "Oof!" Rosetta rolls off Glissani and lays down in the grass. "Good job." She pats her Skarmory's head.
  699. Feb 13 23:10:43 <zoofman> It's Jessie who speaks up first from the pile of oofs and kaws and neighs and dragon roars. "Mayun, you're tellin' me they got space bidoofs, Poke flowers and Dittos growin' apricorns that can catch people? AND they bang mermaids? Mayun you'd have to be HIGH to think this shit make sense."
  700. Feb 13 23:12:33 <Rosetta> "This is why margarita time is the best time."
  701. Feb 13 23:15:44 <Rosetta> "I hope this doesn't stir up too much trouble for New Ivyhollow here. They're not dumb enough to try to retaliate against the town for this or something, are they?"
  702. Feb 13 23:15:57 <zoofman> You guys all pick yourselves up, and Shawyun finally takes his horse mask off. "...So uh, what do we do now?" He asks.
  703. Feb 13 23:16:34 <zoofman> The three eyed bird lands on your shoulder, Rosetta.
  704. Feb 13 23:16:55 <zoofman> And then mindtalks. <The enemy has given up pursuit.>
  705. Feb 13 23:16:58 <Rosetta> "Get some rest, then check in with the rest of my team and make sure they're okay, I 'spose. Now that we've got more - oh hi Ghede - samples, we should send more of 'em to Saxton, including some of the raw Apricorns."
  706. Feb 13 23:17:06 <Rosetta> "Shiny."
  707. Feb 13 23:17:29 <zoofman> Tempest stares at the bird. "What the fuck is that." "A darkrai," Jeramiah explains. "Oh. Looks uh, smaller than I expected."
  708. Feb 13 23:17:37 <Rosetta> "Oh and uh...I guess we should figure out what to do with our prisoner. I mean, we don't really need a jail cell or anything for him as is, but...yeah."
  709. Feb 13 23:19:34 <zoofman> Shawyun, Tempest, and the Rockit Brothers look really confused for a moment. "Wait. waiiiit." Shawyun gets it.
  710. Feb 13 23:20:04 <zoofman> "You actually -used- one!? Do you got any spares? This would be a great prank to pull on Biggy Li-" Yanala thwaps him.
  711. Feb 13 23:20:39 »» Rosetta facepalms.
  712. Feb 13 23:22:23 <zoofman> Jeramiah seems pretty confused himself. "I. Uh. Didn't think of that much either at the moment. I imagine we should hand the ball over to the Rangers when we get the chance."
  713. Feb 13 23:23:11 <Rosetta> "Yeahhhh, that sounds like it might be best. We're gonna wanna question the guy later, of course, but for now that's shiny."
  714. Feb 13 23:28:24 <zoofman> Yanala looks over your loot. "We got...a couple of these apples, lots of the apricorns, a few of the balls...and one captured Stag Lord."
  715. Feb 13 23:28:43 <zoofman> "And they are likely very angry at the moment."
  716. Feb 13 23:28:53 <Rosetta> "Don't forget the vials of blood." Rosetta shakes one of them.
  717. Feb 13 23:29:20 <Rosetta> "We're gonna need some sorta official story here, aren't we?"
  718. Feb 13 23:29:42 <Rosetta> "I mean, we can't exactly tell the public we went and burned down ditto trees and stole their person balls."
  719. Feb 13 23:29:43 <zoofman> Yanala : "Ah, yes, the vials too!"
  720. Feb 13 23:31:39 <zoofman> Jeramiah considers that. "We will, yes. Granted it's tough to think of a compelling one, given the Stag Lords would surely blame the Explorers if questioned."
  721. Feb 13 23:32:43 <Rosetta> "We might have to go public with some of this then." Rosetta sighs.
  722. Feb 13 23:33:34 <Rosetta> "If we let the Stag Lords blame us, you can bet Dandy and Jennifer will find some way to dig that knife in deeper and make our lives harder."
  723. Feb 13 23:35:54 <zoofman> "We may be able to keep the press away from them for another day, at most, but they -will- act against us, yes. Hmm..."
  724. Feb 13 23:37:31 <zoofman> "The good news is we have compelling evidence of what they did. And a witness."
  725. Feb 13 23:37:42 <zoofman> "Or, prisoner. Either way you want to think of it."
  726. Feb 13 23:38:36 <Rosetta> "Hell, I think we could just demonstrate the ball we captured him in. Just that would be enough to make a case for what we did."
  727. Feb 13 23:39:45 <Rosetta> "This isn't exactly my specialty though." :< "Just hoping this isn't too much work for Peyote, the general, and whoever else to figure out. It's kind of late, and I suspect someone's gonna be pulling a late night after we report back, yeah?"
  728. Feb 13 23:39:48 <zoofman> There's a lot of nodding as people mull this over. "They can't stick us with shit when they got tech like that," says James Rockit.
  729. Feb 13 23:42:41 <Rosetta> "Let's just get all our loot over to whoever needs to see it, then call it a night, yeah?" Rosetta hrmms and frowns to herself. "And I 'spose we should let someone know to keep tabs on activity in the swamps tonight, and give a heads up to the Rangers too so they don't go out investigating the fire themselves right now."
  730. Feb 13 23:42:52 <zoofman> Jeramiah thinks that over. "It IS late, but this is rather pertinant. Maybe we should head back to Red Blade right away..."
  731. Feb 13 23:43:23 »» Rosetta yawns and stretches. "Yeah, I 'spose you're right. Let's take care of things here first though, yeah?"
  732. Feb 13 23:48:54 <zoofman> Shawyun speaks up ! "Oh! Oh! I know a lot of the Rangers here thanks to Ben. So I'll go tell em it's official Cock Business and they'll keep their meat away."
  733. Feb 13 23:49:21 <zoofman> "..." Everyone else is at a loss for words.
  734. Feb 13 23:49:29 <Rosetta> "..."
  735. Feb 13 23:51:10 <zoofman> "...Too much? Okay maybe too much. Anyway, uh, can someone come with me just in case nega-Gen is hunting around here?"
  736. Feb 13 23:51:15 <zoofman> "N-not that I'm scared or anything."
  737. Feb 13 23:51:57 <Rosetta> "Sure, I'll come with." Rosetta suppresses a giggle.
  738. Feb 13 23:57:39 <zoofman> "Oh cool lesgo then!" He starts off as Tempest prepares to head home, but the other Keeper's Cult members mingle and discuss how to get across the water this late at night as you two run to a Ranger Station.
  739. Feb 13 23:59:21 <zoofman> Before long Shawyun's talked you guys through to a Deputy Peacekeeper. He's a middle aged man who seems slightly drowsy at the moment. "I was informed you two Explorers had something to share with us?"
  740. Feb 13 23:59:48 »» Rosetta looks to Shawyun to handle this. This is not a job for birdbrain.
  741. Feb 14 00:01:59 <zoofman> "There's probably going to be some commotion in a few hours near the Stag Lord village. Yes, we did something, and it's not exactly safe at the moment. Can you try to keep your men away from that area for a few hours? I imagine they'll be a press release very soon explaining why."
  742. Feb 14 00:03:59 <zoofman> The deputy sighs. "You damned Thundercocks - leave it to you guys to always pull this shit in our own back yard. What do you got to do with this?" He looks at you, Rosetta
  743. Feb 14 00:04:56 <Rosetta> "I was just along to help. Rosetta Whitacre, also an Explorer. Part of the Zodiac Braves. Actually, my family lives 'round here too."
  744. Feb 14 00:05:51 <zoofman> "The husband and wife who run the Library? You're their kid?" He squints. "Huh, haven't seen YOU around in ages."
  745. Feb 14 00:06:52 <Rosetta> "It's uh...complicated. And you know, Explorer, travel all over the region. Yup." Rosetta nod nods.
  746. Feb 14 00:07:38 <zoofman> "She ran away from home to release her inner lesbian," Shawyun explains with a nod.
  747. Feb 14 00:08:00 »» Rosetta elbows Shawyun in the gut.
  748. Feb 14 00:08:19 <Rosetta> Not that hard.
  749. Feb 14 00:09:00 <zoofman> The deputy just shakes his head as Shawyun quietly apologizes. "...You guys are always a hand full. Fine, we'll keep our guys inside. This better be major trouble."
  750. Feb 14 00:11:58 <Rosetta> "Yeah, it's pretty big stuff. Sorry, hope this isn't too much trouble for you guys."
  751. Feb 14 00:13:28 <zoofman> "I just hope my boss gets a call from The General or something to explain this in the morning," he sighs and starts back to his office.
  752. Feb 14 00:13:38 <zoofman> Shawyun looks over. "Guess we're in the clear?"
  753. Feb 14 00:15:00 <Rosetta> "Yeah, we probably should be heading over to Red Blade now. Let's go back to the others."
  754. Feb 14 00:16:29 <zoofman> Shawyun holds the door open for you. "Man I'm starving, hope we got time to hit a Hungry Garchomp on the way over...least I THINK they are open this late."
  755. Feb 14 00:17:03 <Rosetta> "Hell, let's hit one up now and bring pastries to eat as we fly over."
  756. Feb 14 00:18:23 <zoofman> "I like how you think. Onward, then!" He starts toward the nearest 24 hours breakfast diner.
  757. Feb 14 00:19:43 »» Rosetta goes and buys the closest equivalent she can find to something like this: http://www.gourdoughs.com/doughnuts/grannys-pie/
  758. Feb 14 00:22:12 <zoofman> Shawyun buys three dozen donut holes. "Just in case we need...anti-Ditto ninja stars or something," He claims as he gorges himself.
  759. Feb 14 00:22:31 <Rosetta> "Of course. I better pick up extra soda too."
  760. Feb 14 00:22:39 <zoofman> Once you guys meet up with the others, though, you make your way to Red Blade...where we'll probably pick up next week.
