ambros scythe

[16:58] <~DarkSunDuelist> Kaoru left you a note informing you that there was to be a meeting involving you and the rest of your team, as well as her, regarding dealing with Maletizio.
[16:58] <~DarkSunDuelist> But first, the note says to tend to something that's been put off long enough: Getting you a better weapon than the rusted hunk of metal you've been swinging around all this time.
[16:59] <~DarkSunDuelist> The blacksmith left the package containing your new weapon in the student mailroom.
[17:00] * Ambrosine squeals and runs to the mailroom
[17:00] <~DarkSunDuelist> You find a large rectangular package with your name on it. The mail carrier behind the counter gives you a weird look as he hands you the box.
[17:01] * Ambrosine carefully holds it in her hands and moves it up and down
[17:01] * Ambrosine tries to estimate its weight
[17:02] <~DarkSunDuelist> It feels...lighter than you were expecting.
[17:02] * Danceanon (Mibbit@ARG-zOmBiE-nceu96.vf.net.nz) has joined #RSLV
[17:02] <~DarkSunDuelist> It doesn't LOOK like it holds a scythe.
[17:02] <~DarkSunDuelist> Are you being had?
[17:02] * Ambrosine looks a little worried
[17:02] * Ambrosine turns toward the mail carrier
[17:02] <Ambrosine> "Student mail is usually checked for bombs, right?"
[17:02] <Ambrosine> "Just... you know... wondering."
[17:03] <~DarkSunDuelist> "No, we stopped doing that when students started ordering actual bombs."
[17:03] <Ambrosine> "Oh."
[17:03] <~DarkSunDuelist> "We do give it a quick once-over for active timers and stuff, though."
[17:03] <Ambrosine> "...Do you want to open this for me? Is that in your job description?"
[17:04] <~DarkSunDuelist> "Standard policy not to open a package for another client, though."
[17:04] * Ambrosine wonders if she has heatlh insurance
[17:04] <~DarkSunDuelist> You have a very good health reserve.
[17:04] <~DarkSunDuelist> That's insurance enough for your profession.
[17:04] * Ambrosine sighs and carefully begins to open the package
[17:05] <~DarkSunDuelist> The package's lid bursts open and you're blinded by a dull light temporarily.
[17:05] <~DarkSunDuelist> ...some confetti pops out.
[17:06] <~DarkSunDuelist> "Looks like you're safe."
[17:06] * Ambrosine blinks as the confetti slowly drifts downwards around her
[17:06] <Ambrosine> "What if this confetti is poisonous?"
[17:06] <~DarkSunDuelist> Inside, still lit up by a ridiculous rig of lights, is a chrome red and silver contraption that looks slightly like a collapsed gun.
[17:07] * Ambrosine makes sure not to inhale the confetti as she shakes it off of her clothing
[17:07] <Ambrosine> "Woaaah."
[17:07] * Ambrosine inspects to see what's powering the lights
[17:07] <~DarkSunDuelist> You can't tell. You assume batteries.
[17:08] * Ambrosine carefully lifts the gun out of the box
[17:08] <~DarkSunDuelist> (( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xISEnAhfynI ))
[17:08] <~DarkSunDuelist> The above music is heard playing from the box as you lift the object out of the box.
[17:10] * Ambrosine wonders where the music is coming from for a moment before dismissing the thought from her mind
[17:10] * Ambrosine inspects the contraption
[17:11] <~DarkSunDuelist> A female voice from inside the box pipes up: "You got the absolutely fantastic PHOTON ROSEPETAL! This scythe is actually a collapsed gun, which shoots bullets made of hard light! Read the manual for more instructions!"
[17:12] * Ambrosine looks for the manual
[17:12] <~DarkSunDuelist> Looking again in the box, you notice a speaker next to a pressure plate. Next to those is a thick manual.
[17:14] * Ambrosine sits down on the mail room floor and sets the scythe on her lap, then begins reading
[17:15] <~DarkSunDuelist> "Hey, do that somewhere else," the mail carrier admonishes.
[17:16] <Ambrosine> "Uh, can you gimme a sec? I wanna know how to holster this thing before taking it anywhere. Don't want anyone to lose any limbs, eh?"
[17:16] * Ambrosine chuckles nervously
[17:18] <~DarkSunDuelist> There is a finely-crafted black leather holster that matches your dress.
[17:19] <~DarkSunDuelist> It even has a stripe of red lace along the side.
[17:21] * Ambrosine wonders how she hadn't noticed it and immediately puts it on
[17:21] * Ambrosine hopes there wasn't any poisonous needles on the holster or anything of that sort
[17:22] * Ambrosine checks the manual for proper handling instructions and also skims to the manual to see why its so long
[17:23] <~DarkSunDuelist> The manual seems to be mostly diagrams and pictures.
[17:24] <~DarkSunDuelist> Well-detailed diagrams and pictures.
[17:25] * Ambrosine apologizes to the mail carrier and quickly looks to see how to holster it
[17:26] <Sushi> (I'm off later)
[17:26] * Sushi (Mibbit@ARG-zOmBiE-9ci.jqq.255.206.IP) Quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
[17:26] <~DarkSunDuelist> The weapon is fairly light and feels like an extension of your being.
[17:27] <~DarkSunDuelist> After a few minutes of looking through the manual, you flip the weapon in the air, catch it, and spin it around in a blatant disregard for weapon discipline, and holster it.
[17:27] * Ambrosine checks to make sure she has all her fingers
[17:28] <~DarkSunDuelist> You do indeed.
[17:29] * Ambrosine looks in the box and checks to see if the lights are still on
[17:29] <~DarkSunDuelist> They are not. there was another pressure plate under the manual that turned off the lights.
[17:30] * Ambrosine gently presses down on the pressure plate that was under the manual
[17:30] <~DarkSunDuelist> The lights turn back on.
[17:31] * Ambrosine inspects the system of plates and lights
[17:31] <~DarkSunDuelist> Seems like pretty simple shit. Pressure plate array that connects/disconnects wires from a battery.
[17:31] <~DarkSunDuelist> A wire connects the top of the box to another battery that controls the lights and such.
[17:32] * Ambrosine shrugs and closes the box, then goes to her room to put her old scythe to rest
[17:32] * KW (vincent@ARG-zOmBiE-jqkcd9.res.bhn.net) has left #RSLV
[17:32] * Speedy is now known as speedy
[17:33] * speedy is now known as Speedy
[17:33] <~DarkSunDuelist> You go back to your room.
[17:33] <~DarkSunDuelist> You are now back at your room.
[17:33] * Ambrosine looks around her room
[17:34] <~DarkSunDuelist> The place looks overly neat.
[17:34] <~DarkSunDuelist> It feels weird, calling this room your home, but there's few other places you've felt as welcome.
[17:35] <~DarkSunDuelist> These past few months have been absolutely amazing.
[17:37] <~DarkSunDuelist> In any case, your old scythe is now removed from its familiar place on your back, and placed on your bed.
[17:37] <~DarkSunDuelist> What will you do now?
[17:38] * Ambrosine looks for a weapon rack or a frame or long metal rods of some sort
[17:38] <~DarkSunDuelist> You find a weapon rack that Kaoru got you a month or so ago.
[17:39] * Ambrosine gently places the old scythe onto the top of the weapon rack, adjusting it to make sure it sits perfectly on the stand
[17:40] * Ambrosine then sits on her bed and begins to read the manual, her new weapon cradled in her arms
[17:42] * Speedy is now known as Speedyinthesheets
[17:42] <~DarkSunDuelist> This weapon is pretty sweet. The blade is actually a prototype energy reactor that creates hard light by concentrating photons into shapes.
[17:43] <~DarkSunDuelist> The manual includes a variety of tricks that one can eventually learn to use the blade for, but they seem a bit beyond your grasp right now.
[17:43] * Deafdefiler (Hah@ARG-zOmBiE-r7tfhb.res.rr.com) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
[17:44] <~DarkSunDuelist> The weapon's gun form turns the blade into a small forearm guard of sorts and also shoots hard light rounds.
[17:44] <~DarkSunDuelist> The rounds depreciate in power and accuraccy quickly, so it's reccommended you maintain a moderate distance between you and your target.
[17:45] <~DarkSunDuelist> You tinker with the weapon a bit and get a good feel for it. Seems like you're good to go now.
[17:45] * Ambrosine checks to see how long the energy reactor will last for
[17:48] <~DarkSunDuelist> It's still experimental (but stable for field use), so the manual outright states that it's uncertain.
[17:48] <~DarkSunDuelist> The weapon is currently expected to outlive you.
[17:48] <~DarkSunDuelist> It does note that you should check in with a specialist or the blacksmith periodically, though.
[17:49] * Ambrosine briefly wonders if she could pass this onto her children
[17:49] * Ambrosine wonders if she should have children
[17:49] * Ambrosine begins to think of other things
[17:49] * Ambrosine clears her mind and gets up and begins swinging her weapon
[17:50] * Ambrosine checks her to note to see what she's supposed to do now
[17:50] <~DarkSunDuelist> ...wasn't there a meeting you needed to go to?
[17:50] * Ambrosine reads her note again
[17:50] <~DarkSunDuelist> ...indeed there was.
[17:50] * Ambrosine inspects it to see if it says where the meeting is
[17:50] <~DarkSunDuelist> It's in the headmaster's office, a building over.
[17:51] * Ambrosine places her weapon back into its holster and makes her way there
[17:56] <~DarkSunDuelist> You step out into the courtyard.
[17:58] <~DarkSunDuelist> There are no people.
[17:58] <~DarkSunDuelist> The water in the fountain even stopped running, frozen in place.
[17:58] <~DarkSunDuelist> In front of it is a familiar figure.
[17:58] <Ambrosine> "Ah, fuck."
[17:59] <~DarkSunDuelist> It seems that this is the day you die.
[17:59] <~DarkSunDuelist> Roll Initiative.

[18:13] <~DarkSunDuelist> Dodge or Block?
[18:15] <Ambrosine> Block
[18:15] <~DarkSunDuelist> Try to pay attention.
[18:16] <~DarkSunDuelist> You draw your weapon and knock aside the blow. You are entitled to a counterattack. Would you like to expend an Active action and take it?
[18:16] <Ambrosine> No.
[18:18] <~DarkSunDuelist> Your turn.
[18:20] <Ambrosine> first, begin passively accumulating
[18:20] <~DarkSunDuelist> If you take an Active this round, the accumulation will be halved.
[18:20] <~DarkSunDuelist> But you do so.
[18:21] <Ambrosine> use greater characteristic augmentation on dex, raise to 14, burn 14 ki, burn 1 ki every 10 turns
[18:22] <~DarkSunDuelist> Your DEX rises to 14

[18:49] <~DarkSunDuelist> You unlease a trio of shots. She dodges one but is immediately hit with the other two.
[18:49] <~DarkSunDuelist> You hear an "oof" as she flips and rolls along the ground from the impact.
[18:49] <~DarkSunDuelist> Her action
[18:50] <~DarkSunDuelist> She gets up and gives you a dirty look.

[18:56] <~DarkSunDuelist> Will you give chase?
[18:56] <Ambrosine> "Hey, can you tell me why you're running?"
[18:56] * Ambrosine shouts
[18:56] * Ambrosine looks around to see if the fountains are unfrozen
[18:56] <~DarkSunDuelist> No response.
[18:56] <~DarkSunDuelist> They did indeed come unfrozen

[18:59] * Ambrosine nods and turns off characteristic augmentation
[18:59] <Ambrosine> "I'm fine. Do you know who that was?"
[19:00] <~DarkSunDuelist> "...You didn't recognize her? That was the assassin that we fought back in the capital."
[19:00] <Ambrosine> "I know that, but who is she? Why is she attacking me?"
[19:01] <~DarkSunDuelist> "Maybe she wants to finish the job?"
[19:01] <Ambrosine> "Oh. That makes sense."
[19:01] <Ambrosine> "...She ran, though. Remind me again why time seems to freeze when she's fighting me?"
[19:02] <~DarkSunDuelist> "Time didn't freeze. You drew your weapon and stared at each other for a bit."
[19:02] <Ambrosine> "Ah, right. Illusion stuff."
[19:03] <~DarkSunDuelist> "Do you remember a fight?"
[19:03] <Ambrosine> "Yup."
[19:03] <Ambrosine> "Seems pretty similar to what she might have been doing to me during that... carnival thing. Did we ever go to a carnival? Party? My memory is a little spotty."
