PREVIOUSLY ON SHIOKARAIKEN NO DENSETSU

Cheryl:
My everything hurts to hell and back, per usual.

Darius:
COME ON THERE'S NOTHING WEIRD ABOUT ZOMBIES, WHAT THE FUCK CHARLOTTE, also I got literally everything done in one session

Rosalinda :
I'm just...sleeping I guess (annoyed)

Charlotte:
THERE ARE PLENTY WEIRD THINGS, YOU GOTTA DRAW A LINE IN THE SAND

Alloces:
IF YOU EVER LEAVE ME DEAD THAT FUCKING LONG AGAIN I AM KILLING EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU, also I'm alive again btw

Lyric:
Have you ever roomied with yourself?

Alloces:
>sand

Alloces:

Charlotte:
And then I evened
AND NOW, ON ANOTHER BALL-BUSTING EPISODE OF SHIOKARAIKEN

ThatBaka:
It is now the next day, a tuesday in fact, which hopefully won't be as amazingly long as monday.
Rosalinda : (( spoilers: It prolly will ))
Charlotte: (( Okay, yeah, we really need to skip the absolutely unnecessary shit ))
Darius: (( IS THAT SOME AGREEING WITH SHIT I SAID YEARS AGO I HEAR? (D) ))

ThatBaka:
You two schoolgirls are over at school, where you probably wanted to get...something done before I unleash a totally necessary event
Charlotte: (( we have a practice session after school, I'd like to have another interaction with D. Richard, and MAYBE the indian gigantor subplot advanced ))
Rosalinda : (( where's the school ))
Darius: (( I don't think that's a subplot, agi ))
Charlotte: (( Everything is a subplot. ))
Charlotte: (( everything. ))
Darius: (( it involved me in any way, shape, or form, it's probably the main plot. ))
tirkaroKujo:
drat where did I put the school
tirkaroKujo:
fuck it I'll just use these
Darius: (( Oh right, other map ))
Charlotte: (( ...you were involved with the dodgeball thing? ))
Thrice:
I had a camera set up filming it (CHEW)
Thrice:
So, yes
Charlotte: (( You weren't supposed to watch me at school, I thought ))
Rosalinda : (( is it still morning at school ))
Thrice:
Who said I was watching you, I just like dodgeball
Charlotte: (( well you cunt-blubbering faggotron ))
Cheryl: (( Oh hey, giant question ma-HOW COME THAT LOADED SO FAST YET MY GODDAMN DRAGON NEVER LOADS EVER? ))
Charlotte: (( Your dragon is probably higher-res ))

Lyric:
Meanwhile, Lyric has just come back from a bit of morning convenience shopping, buying an assortment of extra necessary supplies for herself. You've been spending most of the night tending to your wounds.
Rosalinda : (( any of our classmates at school? Would be nice to interact with them or something ))
tirkaroKujo:
Was juuust getting around to that

Cheryl:
"Bloody 'ell that fucker hits like a truck...feels like every fuckin' day I'm goin' home in a bloody body cast these days..."

Charlotte:
Charlotte is still a bit shaken up from last night, her usual strict attention to the goings-on in the classroom diverted by needing to do all her homework in the period before it's due. She'll just have to bite the bullet on 1st period math.

Reis:
@ While en route to class, you're stopped by Reis, who seems to be a bit tired. "*Yaaawn* Hey there. Sorry about the crazy day yesterday. I had some aches all over my body, but I'll recover just fine."
Reis: (( *@TWILT ))

Rosalinda :
"Morning Reis. Yeah, my body's pretty sore still too. Lets hope we both get better, haha."

Lyric:
"Now now. At least the hardest part is over. You should be thankful to be alive after all that. -I- should be thankful to be alive." She puts her bags down and starts doing various handiwork around the house.

Cheryl:
Cheryl glances around the wall at the other Cheryl as she cleans, "What're you doin'?"

Jimbles:
@Charlotte Jimbles seems to be absolutely bent out of shape, and tired too. "Charlotte! You're here! I'll sound crazy for saying this, but have you seen any, hmm...shadows walking around lately? Giant, walking shadows?"
Rosalinda : (( hah ))
Rosalinda : (( Gaiden references ))
Cheryl: (( Clearly you should summon Aphex and feign ignorance. ))
Charlotte: (( that would be amazing ))

Maxwell:
Jimbles' other partner in nerdery sneers. "You've been asking everyone this! The only Shadow here is of your former self!"
Cheryl: (( Is this Zombies Ate My Neighbors by the by? ))

Lyric:
"Tidying up. This flat is downright filthy. I'll be honest with you, I can't see how you can live in such rubbish."

Charlotte:
"Why, Jimbles, just the other day you were calling ME crazy for things I'd seen. What do you mean, though? You seem... distressed."

Cheryl:
Cheryl lies back down and stares at the ceiling, "Yeah, you really are the opposite of me."

Jimbles:
Jimbles keeps an iron spine and adjusts his spectacles. "I lost something...pretty dear to me. Because of that SHADOW! If I don't get it back, then who knows what will happen!?"

Rosalinda :
"Anyway, we should get to class. Don't wanna keep teach waiting!"

Charlotte:
Charlotte rubs her eyes, her own exhaustion wearing on her. "Okay, okay, let's start from the beginning. What do you mean by 'giant, walking shado-' " seeing Jimbles exasperation, she backs off. "Exactly that, then... so you've started to see? Just how many people has it spread to...?"
Charlotte: (( At what point in the day is this conversation happening? Before first period? ))
Jimbles: (( a bit before first period, yes ))
Rosalinda whispers: alright if I just put Azure's token randomly for cameo appearence? He does go to this school lol

Jimbles:
"Keh! Fine then! I'll just keep asking around some more! I'll find those wretched automatons yet!"
Jimbles: (( yeah sure why not ))
You whisper to TWILT: that was supposed to be a whisper
Tokens dropped onto map 'Cobblestone2Revengeance' by player TWILT (Player)
Azure: (( shoutouts to cameo appearences ))
tirkaroKujo:
Aaand skipping around a bit, when exactly did you have class with Mercedes again TWILT
Rosalinda : (( Uhhhhhh ))
Rosalinda : (( hang on, think I can find the schedule really quick ))
Charlotte: (( huh, damn, I can't remember what the Toy Soldiers looked like to describe them ))

Lyric:
Lyric begins shining the floors a bit. "Also, I should tell you. I got a voicemail from a friend of yours while you were asleep. Said they were going to visit, so I did the right thing and agreed to it. That's what you would have done, right?"

Charlotte:
"Hold on - automatons? You mean, robots? They're not HERE, are they? Today?" Charlotte looks around worriedly
Rosalinda : (( Art @Second period ))
Rosalinda : (( I think Merci and Reis and I share a class during like 3rd or 4th ))

Cheryl:
"...what?" Cheryl sits up once again, "No. No. No. Noooooooooooo. Who? Who called??"

Maxwell:
"Well of course there here, silly! See, let me hand you one!" Maxwell takes out one of his projects from the robotics club, which leaps out at you while playing automated voice clips.
Maxwell: (( *they're ))
Thrice:
Charlotte's just freakin out thinking Clockwork followed her to school
Thrice:
also back, I've willed myself well enough to eat now
Charlotte: (( More like Glenn, really ))

Lyric:
"Uh...forgot the name exactly. Seemed nice enough though, and they were pleasantly surprised that I was so accepting..."
Thrice:
I thought his just looked like dumbasses in masks (HMM)

Lyric:
But speak of the devil, you hear the knock right in an instant. "Oh my, that must be them. Don't worry yourself, I'll just open the do-"

Charlotte:
"!" Charlotte jumps back at first before staring at the whatever it is, frustrated. "That's very impressive, Maxwell, but not nearly what I was thinking about... let's talk about this later, Jimbles, I'll keep my eyes open."

Ladd:
"Hooowdy ho! (｡´∀｀)ﾉ" *AUDIENCE GOES WILD*
Charlotte: (( AW SHIIIT ))
Tokens dropped onto map 'Cobblestone2Revengeance' by player Thrice (Player)

Darius:
Hey, another zombie
Rosalinda : (( AWWW SHIIITTT ))

Ladd:
"Oh, I'm sorry there Cher. Didn't mean t' scare you or anything. Did you get a new haircut or something?" Ladd steps on in, helping the astonished Lyric back up.

Lyric:
"Th-thanks. I...guess, Mr..." Lyric is doing a pretty bad job at being yourself.

Mercedes:
@TWILT "*Sigh*" Mercedes seems a bit more content with herself now. "So, are you feeling okay again? Anything exciting tidbits occur while I was gone?"

Rosalinda :
Linda still practicing her art in class, and talks to Merci. "Yeah everything's okay. I went home shortly after I visited a friend of mine...my back's still sore, but I'll manage haha. You?"

ThatBaka:
@Agi FUCK THIS PANSY BULLSHIT THOUGH, IT'S NOW TIME FOR GYM

Charlotte:
AW FUCK LET ME GET IN MY UNIFORM

Darius:
In case anyone gives a shit, Darius, actually having things to do, is currently revamping security inside and outside of Stouffer's mansion; installing cameras and microphones, rewiring the walls, programming the phones to be competent and trace calls as well as have automated messages, and taking note of any irregularities. Also, probably explaining all this bullshit to Marian as he does it as Clockwork looks on in awe.

Mercedes:
Mercedes smiles. "Oh, y'know. The usual. Went to go see a movie, then I made dinner for everyone. Sadly, daddy wasn't very hungry, so we have far too many leftovers cluttering the house. Here, I hope you enjoy Rigatoni con la Pajata." She hands you a bag of fancy roman dining.

Charlotte:
What a glorious pose

Lucy:
IT'S THE FINAL QUARTER OF THE FOOTBALLING FOOTBALL AND YOUR LOSER TEAM IS CLOSE TO FINALLY MAKING A PLAY AND ALL THAT SPORTSY STUFF. LUCY HANDS THE BALL TO JIMBLES BEFORE SHE GETS DOGPILED BY A SPORTSTON OF KIDS PLAYING SPORTS.

Jimbles:
"AAAAAAH!" Jimbles screams as he finds the ball in his hands. "PLEEEAASE DON'T HUURT MEEEE AAAAAH"
Charlotte: (( this is exactly what sports talk sounds like ))
Charlotte: (( I suppose I should run and hope he can manage complete a pass. ))

Rosalinda :
"Oh wow, thanks Merci!" Linda happily accepts her friend's gift. "I shouldn't eat in class, I'll have to save it for later haha. Can't wait to dig in though." Linda continues drawing this picture of Spider-Man for her art project as the time goes by.

Marian:
Marian practices her singing pipes as you commit yourself to manual labor. "Poor you. A victim of rampant paranoia I see? I see things must have not been the same since the russians bombed us, huh?"

Charlotte:
Charlotte runs downfield, not like she nor any other observer of this damned game has any idea how it's played. "Jimbles, I'm open! Throw it here!"
Darius: (( kinky ))
Rosalinda : (( That's what she said ))
Charlotte: (( I'm not sure if "throw" is a particularly kinky verb ))
Darius: (( where'd you place Marian anyway ))
Darius: (( I hope you're not just flipping between here and the lab ))
Charlotte: (( he definitely is ))
Darius: (( no need for that shit ))

Jimbles:
"WAAAAAAAAAH!" Jimbles cries as he throws the ball as hard as his wimpy hands will let him. "CARRY ON MY LEGAAACCYYYYY-"

Cheryl:
"Oh...hey Ladd...thought you kicked the bucket. Or somethin."

Charlotte:
the sports pile doesn't stop from getting taller

Foobaw 10:
The spor- yoooou

Charlotte:
so much love
Charlotte: (( So uh, should anyone roll for anything here? I doubt talking is a free action in football. ))

Ladd:
"HAAAAH...HAH! Of course you'd think that. I was just wondering why you weren't asking that in the first place. And also how you somehow managed to talk without moving your lips, but that's another story entirely."

Darius:
Darius looks back at Marian as he's redoing the wiring in one of the lounges, "This is my job, I can't complain too much.They pay me well, after all... And it was the Japanese, actually. But Stouffer's afraid of someone else entirely. She won't tell me who exactly, but I'll see soon."

Cheryl:
"Right...for I'm livin' with myself..." she mutters to herself, "Oi, Lad. Don

Juarez:
You grab the ball successfully, but that doesn't mean you're home free. Before any sportsmen can pile up upon you, a giant ramapaging ape of a man rushes towards you, toppling his own teammates in the process "YOOOU.....I WILL NOT LOSE THIS TIME!"

Cheryl:
*Ladd. Don't shit your pants here, alright?" she asks as she steps around the corner. . .

Lyric:
"Oh, I'm sorry. You must be under the impression I'm, uh, yeah..."

Ladd:
"Haha, still with that-" Ladd does a double take after seeing double. He closes his eyes while stroking his chin. "Twins, huh? You never quite struck me as the sisterly type. Oh what a snafu to fall upon."

Juarez:
 2 FS used! Initiative (1d10): 9 + 0 = 9 1 FS used! Control (1d8): 5 + 0 = 5

Cheryl:
"I will lodge my boot so far up your ass they'll need the bloody fuckin' jaws of life to get me out if you so much as continue that thought."

Juarez:
Juarez seems to recover quite well. "You may have bested me before, but I'm afraid your luck ends here!" He does an impressive charge forth!
Darius: (( you're so dead, agi ))

Marian:
"Aaah, I see, I see..." Marian does a few practice shadowboxing techniques. "So the values of yesteryear still hold up even today. Arm yourself heavily against an opponent we have no idea will pose any threat.

Ladd:
Ladd gulps. "Welp, here I was thinking you changed your tune a bit. Glad to know I'm not wrong."
Charlotte: (( okay, sorry about that, got a random conversation sprung on me ))
Charlotte: (( that's a rather odd amount of FS for Juarez to be missing. ))
Lyric: (( kinda fucked up a bit, it should be more ))

Cheryl:
"Yeah. No such luck. But whatever, the hell are you here for?"
Charlotte: (( lemme catch up. ))

Darius:
"That about sums it up. But it works. Whatever gets people to follow you, I guess. Doesn't matter to me, I'm armed against everybody at all times. Can't let people get at what's in my mind, you know?"

Charlotte:
"Oh, what-" Seeing the absolute monster of a high schooler charging her way, her token is incredibly, incredibly fitting to her current expression. Nonetheless, she grits her teeth and puts that much more effort into running into the endzone as quickly as possible.

Charlotte:
 1 FS used! Initiative (1d8): 4 + 0 = 4 1 FS used! Control (1d10): 7 + 1 = 8

Ladd:
"Is...is just wanting to visit a good enough reason? Actually, I wanted to check and see if you were, y'know. Still alive and all that. You got messed up reeeaaal bad back there. But seems my fears were unfounded. You recover real quick."

Charlotte:
I will be Full Defensing.

Charlotte:
Charlotte uses 3 Fighting Spirit!

Cheryl:
"Which time now? They're startin' to all blend together..."

Juarez:
"RAAAUUUUGH" Jaurez tackles you with all his might!

Juarez:
Juarez uses 2 Fighting Spirit!

Juarez:
« 1d6+3 = 5 + 3 = 8 » "RAAUUUGH"

Charlotte:
pls d- that exactly meets it

Charlotte:
(FEDUP)
Rosalinda : (( the miracle never happen ))
Tokens dropped onto map 'Cobblestone2Revengeance' by player Thrice (Player)

Juarez:
« 1d12+5 = 10 + 5 = 15 » You take that super damage like a pussy

Charlotte:
oh dear god why do you have a super already aaa

Charlotte:
Charlotte loses 15 hit points.

Clockwork Angel:
"Ooh, ooh, I am armed as well! Pointily so, and they are very good for fending off ne'er-do-wells!"

Charlotte:
She goes FLYING down the field from the impact! That can't be good for her... anything, anything at all.

Charlotte:
"GUAAH!" She cradles the ball, wondering what happens from here from a meta standpoint.

Juarez:
You fall back, but still hold the football in hand! "You still hold on tight in the face of your destruction? Bah! It all ends here!"

Juarez:
 1 FS used! Initiative (1d8): 3 + 0 = 3 1 FS used! Control (1d8): 5 + 0 = 5

Charlotte:
 Initiative (1d6): 2 + 0 = 2 Control (1d8): 4 + 1 = 5
Clockwork Angel: (( u so ded ))

Juarez:
"WAAAUUUGH" Juarez rushes forth some more, still completely intending to mess your shit up to get that ball
Rosalinda : (( I thought this was a game of football, not a massacre ))
Clockwork Angel: (( you gonna full defense and use FS? ))
Charlotte: (( I'm stunned ))
Charlotte: (( (waiting) ))
Clockwork Angel: (( riiigt. ))
Clockwork Angel: (( Welp. ))

Charlotte:
Eyes bleary, there's really not much she can do but await the oncoming storm

Juarez:
Juarez LEAPS up into the air, followed by about a countless amount of other football croonies, intending to sports pile like you wouldn't believe « 1d6+1 = 3 + 1 = 4 »

Juarez:
« 1d8+1 = 4 + 1 = 5 » Foobaaaw

Charlotte:
fooboooowww

Charlotte:
Charlotte loses 5 hit points.
Clockwork Angel: (( welp Charlotte's dead, good game guys ))

Charlotte:
As Charlotte is flattened, she wonders why on earth she didn't join the girls' gym class

Charlotte:
oh right, because this school is shit and only offers one

Clockwork Angel:
who the fuck separates gym class (D)

Clockwork Angel:
That's gay as shit (D)

Rosalinda :
Don't all high schools separate gym glasses :x

Lucy:
*Tweeet* The whistle goes, and the game sorta goes downhill from there.
Lucy: (( mine didn't ))
Clockwork Angel: (( mine indeed didn't ))
Rosalinda : (( mine did (sad) ))
Charlotte: (( Mine didn't, but plenty do ))

Charlotte:
wait I totally should've done an Athletics roll « 1d10 = 1 »
Jimbles: (( yep ))

Charlotte:
« 1d10 = 3 » typical, checking critical failure

Charlotte:
shame

Jimbles:
"Owww, oowww..." Jimbles sulks, his bones located very much where they shouldn't be, and gym class wraps up from there. Juarez may have dogpiled a bunch of nerds, but something within him tells him it feels like a hollow victory. Surely he can't stop here.
Clockwork Angel: (( indeed, you're so shit he can't get the thrill of triumph from kicking your asses ))

ThatBaka:
And thus it is now Lunch time or maybe you go to Dr. Dicks' class before then I kinda forgot
Charlotte: (( I have him immediately before lunch ))
Rosalinda : (( WHERE'S THE LUNCHROOM ))
Charlotte: (( but unless he has something to say to me immediately as class starts, I can wait until lunchtime ))

Ladd:
"Gosh, don't tell me you got into more trouble? You sure are a stickler for attention, aren't you? Ah well, you seem to be in good enough shape for now. Me I kinda had to spend a few nights sleeping in the cold, but I'm well enough now."
Charlotte: (( Ladd we're so sorry, actually, -I'M- not, I couldn't have changed it, but Cheryl should be ))
tirkaroKujo:
oh noes, I have no lunch room
tirkaroKujo:
unless you want to eat on the roof, you're just gonna have to go mapless
Rosalinda : (( I feel so naked >: ))
Clockwork Angel: (( do I have to break out Haze The Wondercat ))

Charlotte:
Healed up!

Rosalinda :
Linda unpacks her lunch and the food Merci got for her. She was hoping to sit with Reis and Merci.

Charlotte:
Alright, Charlotte will just stay after class then, like yesterday

Charlotte:
She takes her time packing her things so that she'll be the last one out the door.

Reis:
Too bad son, because you only get Reis. "Hoooi! Met up with Mercedes for a bit, she seems back to her usual self again. Makes me feel so happy~! Still, I wonder where she could be right now..."

Reis:
She crosses her arms. "Even after we made up, she's still a hard bugger to find."
Clockwork Angel: (( >even her stalker doesn't know where she is ))
Clockwork Angel: (( Well, she's dead ))

Charlotte:
"Dr. Richard, do you have a moment? It's about yesterday."

D. Richard:
The Doctah wraps things up. "Aaah, yes. Before you ask, no, I didn't find out who was causing me pain -just yet-, but I swear I'll find them eventually!"

Rosalinda :
"Heya Reis. Eh, this kind of stuff takes time.At the very least, everything's okay now. Oh here, Merci gave this to me in class. You want some?"
Rosalinda : (( also I assume Lucy and Jim are right next to me? ))

Ladd:
"Nice to see you're still in one piece though. Make any new fans swoon yet?" Ladd takes a deep breath. "Heck, how about we go out with your twin here? It's a beautiful day out! (Really wish it could have been when I was sleeping out, but that's life for you.)"

Charlotte:
"Oh, you're looking for whoever it is too, good. Some part of me thought that you were just sending Linda and I to investigate."

Jimbles:
Sure thing, but they're both incredibly beat up from being sportsed on so hard

D. Richard:
"What? Of course I wouldn't just do that, that'd be crazy!" Dick rubs his eyes. "Anyway, did you have any other questions? Lay 'em on me."

Charlotte:
"The number of people it COULD be keeps growing... I hadn't imagined so many people had been expo- wait, is it contagious? I hadn't even CONSIDERED that."
Rosalinda : (( I'll wait till Reis responds before talking to them ))
Clockwork Angel: (( yes, Charlotte you are at a very real risk of catching something odious from the Dick ))
Charlotte: (( Stop that (D) ))
Charlotte: (( I already caught the Replicant virus whatever it is (D) ))

Reis:
"Oooh, what's this? Looks noodly. Sure, I'll have some, totally forgot to pack lunch today, so I'll take what I can get. Thankkuuuu." She greedily takes whatever you offer.

Charlotte:
"I'm sorry, I'm getting off topic. I'm not sure if you're prepared to believe me or not, but I think... no, I'm CERTAIN that I came across another piece of the Shiokaraiken last night. And I'm not sure how to deal with that..."
Clockwork Angel: (( Geez kid, treating her like she's some kinda object (D) ))
Clockwork Angel: (( She's...not dead, an unliving being too you know (D) ))

D. Richard:
"Contangious, hahah...that's one way of putting it." Dick's vision sharpens. "Well now you've piqued my interest. What did you find, and give details!"

Rosalinda :
Linda offered her half of what she has, before chowing down. She then turns her attention to Lucy and Jim. "Hey Lucy and Ji-" She the notices their wounds. "...Uhhh, gym class?"

Charlotte:
"I'm sorry, I need to sit down. I shouldn't have gotten up, my head's still spinning from last period."

Bocconotto:
@PC But uh oh. It seems you have missed a tresspasser on the area. Is it a tresspasser though? These security rules seem awfully lose. Nonetheless, it seems Marian isn't alone in practicing her music. "So this is the place, huh boyz? Take in the sights, cuz we're gonna take these suckers by STOOORM!"
Clockwork Angel: (( Aw shit/ ))
Clockwork Angel: (( It's Chef Kawasaki ))

Charlotte:
"It was the soul. I have no idea how he tracked it down, but we found the soul of someone named - argh, what WAS her name?! Marian, that's it!"

Jimbles:
*Cough* "Football is a violent, violent sport."
Darius: (( for reference, is this like, near me, or on camera or what ))

Charlotte:
"Someone had already revived her using some... otherworldly method I couldn't even begin to describe."

Charlotte:
"Mostly because I never saw it, admittedly.." she trails off.

Bocconotto:
It's assumed you're currently fixing the outside of the mansion, so they're probably near you. Bocco and his boyz are carrying a buttload of equipment which they finally settle down near the mansion's courtyard.

Lucy:
Lucy nods in agreement, or at least as far as she wants to nod.

Charlotte:
"I'm sorry, details, details... the one responsible for reviving her was named Pato. They must have had some sort of disagreement, because she was more or less, well, in the same state I and the other half of my Gym class are in now when we came across her."

Rosalinda :
"Haha, I have gym later...hope I'm gonna be okay too, haha...haha...:/"

Darius:
Darius abruptly quits his tinkering with the camera he's currently installing, and whirls around to face his Replicant, "...Clockwork, aren't you supposed to be keeping watch? How did these people get past you?!"

D. Richard:
"!!!" Now you really have his attention. "Marian...you mean to tell me, THE Marian Layfield? Hold the finger-licking phone here, you're going a mile a minute! So the rumors were true...she was..."

D. Richard:
"So you mean to tell me she was just...revived? And you don't know how? Heck, I wouldn't put it past her to revive herself if it came ot that...being the keeper of the Soul, it's certainly possible for her to pull something like that from beyond the grave. Didn't think it'd be HER of all people though..."

Clockwork Angel:
Clockwork whirls around some herself, flying in a figure 8 while she chatters, "Ooh, ooh, I can answer that! They just looked so silly, I had to know what they were doing! I had my eye in the sky on them, do not you worry! They are over there!" She redundantly points over toward the singing hair.

Marian:
Marian hops on over. "Oh, are rehearsals going on already? I better step my game up!" Marian continues crooning a joyful tune from her rusted pipes.

Charlotte:
"She had a Replicant of sorts, a white snake-like thing going through her body. It claimed responsibility for bringing her back, but..." she shudders. "I'm sorry, there was only so much I could take in before I had to excuse myself."

D. Richard:
"Hah...well here's something you probably don't know. Marian Layfield is mostly famous for her performing stint, but don't let her since-passed celebrity status fool you; This was just a front for something far more extraordinary...she was one of the very few remaining desciples of the Shiokaraiken. But I assume she must have told you that, no? She's certainly a dangerous character."

Bocconotto:
"Right, right, this aughta be the place. One, two, mic check..." Bocco and his boyz still insist on getting their jam on

Darius:
"I hope it's just some foolish participants rehearsing. But that is unlikely. After all, why would they do it HERE of all places?" Darius gets up and saunters over toward Fatso Fonzie, with Clockwork and maybe Marian if she wants in tow, to prematurely interrupt the performance. "Excuse me, but I'm going to have to tell you to get off my lawn. If you're here for the competition, that's not until Friday(I think it was Friday)."

Clockwork Angel:
"Oooh, please don't be here for the competition!" Clockwork writhes and whines, wishing only to blast some fat face into dust."

Jimbles:
"At least you don't have to suffer under the hand of the steaming-red-hot demon like we did. Something tells me he's gonna make my life a living hell so long as he's out for revenge!"

Charlotte:
"Oh, no, she demonstrated it! Well, some of it. We didn't fight, goodness no, but... well, she rode a bird. A very small bird. She kept referring to it as 'Hadou,' does that mean anything to you?

Cheryl:
After a moment, Cheryl shrugs her shoulders, "Alright then. Let's go."
Clockwork Angel: (( Charlotte, I'm sorry, but I think you may be retarded ))

Bocconotto:
"A one- and a two- and a- HIT IT BOYZ!"
Clockwork Angel: (( Tuca's a ? ))
Clockwork Angel: (( I only hope it isn't female Tuco ))

Cars Saye:
One of the boyz begins scratching hard on a turntable.
Clockwork Angel: (( Aw. ))

Rosalinda :
"Oh my...guess he was still sore after losing in dodgeball, huh?" Linda says, still enjoying her lunch. She kinda hoped that he wouldn't show up...
Charlotte: (( Hey, she said her control of the hadou was still stable ))
Charlotte: (( immediately after jumping on the bird ))
Charlotte: (( one can only draw the conclusion that the two are related, somehow ))
Clockwork Angel: (( Damn, Cars is fading into nothing ))
Clockwork Angel: (( all that time in space must've played a number on him ))

D. Richard:
"Hadou, hadou...that's the old-timey collective turn for what we currently know as 'replicants' and 'EXCESS.' As Replicants were only visible to the other Shiokaraiken, they were deemed to be an invisible 'aura' by record keepers at the time."

D. Richard:
"Or at least, that's what I can piece together. There aren't many surviving records of them left. Heck, the fact that any of them do survive to this day is nothing short of a miracle."

Ladd:
"That's the spirit! I'm starvin', let's go get lunch."

Darius:
Darius is honestly surprised by their idiocy, "Didn't you hear me...?" He shouts over the (I'm assuming) dropped bass, "STOP! Get out of here! I've been lenient enough to warn you twice, it won't happen again."

Lyric:
"Umm...Lunch...it's strange to be so casual all of a sudden." The other Cheryl puts her supplies away and follows suit. "I'm not used to even the term anymore."

Ladd:
Ladd looks back and forth worriedly and gives you a shoulder. "Your sister here, is she...'special' or something?"

Clockwork Angel:
"Oh, do not stop, please! I entreat you!" Clockwork begs of the three boys.

Bocconotto:
But against all odds, Bocconotto spits his sick rap number. "Pl-please I'll take a burger double cheese I'll travel across the world and seven seas! A beef patty on a sesame bun! I luv the taste too much, can never stop at one!"

Tuca:
*Gangsta dances with his boombox over his shoulder*

Charlotte:
"I'm going to attempt to talk with her again tonight... I think I may have been a bit rude yesterday. Would you like me to see if she'd be willing to talk to you? I'm sure you could learn a lot from her. Keep in mind, she IS... fresh out of the grave..."
Charlotte: (( whyy ))

D. Richard:
"Peeeh, can't be in worse condition than me. I'll be fine. Got a boatload of papers to fill out, assignments to grade, but I can hold it off for whenever. This will prove to be far more interesting!"

Darius:
Darius' eye twitches as he stares on in disgust, "Marian...I've not been struck dumb, have I? You can hear me, right?"

Clockwork Angel:
"Ooh, I'm certain they heard you! But they ignoooored you! But not me! They are quite kind fellows. It's too bad what's going to happen next!"

Bocconotto:
"It's got that juicy taste, it'll put a smile on your face, McDonalds, Burger King, or any other place! 1, 2, 3, or even 7! I hope there's double cheeseburgers when I get up 2 heaven!"

Cars Saye:
"*Skritchy skratch sktrach!*"

Charlotte:
"I'll do what I can." Great, the first guy's number I get is my teacher's. "If you'll excuse me, I need to go grab some lunch..." her stomach gurgles, and she heads off toward the lunchroom.
Clockwork Angel: (( Charl's goin straight for the D ))
Clockwork Angel: (( Well, was sorta waiting for Marian's reply, but if she's not gonna that's not a problem ))
Clockwork Angel: (( also when did this become the Agi and Thrice show, fuck's everyone else ))
Charlotte: (( I dunno ))

Cheryl:
"Alternate universe me. No I'm not joking. No, I don't get it either."

Marian:
*Sure why not* "What's that? Did you say I need to crank it louder? Well okay..." Marian begins yelling an operatic tune at the top of her lungs.

Bocconotto:
"(ANNOYED) WHEN YOU'RE FEELING SAD, ALONE, AND YOUR MOOD IS KINDA BLUE, EAT A LOTTA BURGERS, THAT'S ALL YOU GOTTA DO!"

Ladd:
You all stop at the closest non-hazardous joint you can find, seemingly a personal favorite of Ladd's. They sell some really meaty burgers here, in some very experimental flavors. "Alternate...universe? Aaah, you silly shirley, what's gotten into you this time? Hahah, that's some strange wording you got there..."
Darius: (( sorry, was checking literally everything ))

Lyric:
"Sorry to say, I don't get it much more than her...even less in fact. I wish I was capable of learning more..."

Lucy:
And so lunch nearly finishes from here. What you have next that's at all notable whatsoever is...

Cheryl:
"Tch....remember that episode of Buffy where Anya sends Cordelia to the alternate universe where Buffy never came to Sunnydale?" Cheryl pauses for a moment, slightly terrified at her own knowledge of the Buffyverse, "Yeah, it's sorta like that."

Charlotte:
"Even if I don't convince her, she's planning on performing at some concert on Friday, so you can try your luck then." Here, have some details about the event I don't know OOC.
Rosalinda : (( I have class with both Merci and Reis next, band with Charlotte (and maybe a few other faces I know) and Gym with Merci ))

Darius:
"...great. The opera I can stand, but you all...." Darius slaps on his headphones, trying to muffle the horrible music, "There we go. This can't go on any longer or Stouffer will find out and then we'll all be up shit creek without a paddle. You three should thank your stars I haven't finished those schematics... For now, Clockwork?" Darius finally finishes his trademarked useless monologue, especially so due to being drowned out by the music, and directs his Replicant to go full blast.
Clockwork Angel: (( I'm assuming damage rolls and shit don't matter here ))
Ladd: (( they do not, don't worry ))

Ladd:
"Oooh. OOOH, I see...! Wait, hold on, do you mean to tell me that you're gonna have to turn into a half-demon to put everything back in order? Well ain't that some shit!" Ladd takes a sip of his drink. "...so, this is actually happening then?"

Cheryl:
"The alternate universe thing, not the half-demon thing, yes."

Ladd:
The lad glances off in several directions. "Well...crazier things have happened. Hah..hah...no really, can't I just refer to you as sisters or something? I'd like this exchange to have some degree of normality to it." He seems a bit off-put by these bizarre explanations.

Clockwork Angel:
Wheeheehee!" Clockwork squeals with glee, finally getting a chance to blast SOMETHING, after all this time. Unfortunately, her attacks don't work on objects, so it's gonna have to be the lads. She glows with bright light and ascends quickly into the air, launching an array of technicolour streams of light at her peak, all around the boys. But with the hums these rays give off, at least the kids get to experience music before they get blown to kingdom come.

Cheryl:
"Whatever helps yous leep at night, buddy."
Clockwork Angel: (( Normaly this attack doesn't actually hit more than one person, so uh, take that into account if you want ))

D. Richard:
"Odd place to make herself public again, but I'll look into it...don't plan on being quite that late though!" The teacher gives a hearty chuckle before sending you off

Bocconotto:
"Let there be no mistake on the point I'm trying to make- Ooh, what's that? Preettty-" The boyz suddenly get blown sky high, yelling their lungs off as they fly in the air to the tune of Marian's dramatic soundtrack.

Charlotte:
Charlotte heads off to lunch then, probably with barely enough time to snag what's left over and scarf it down before the period ends

Lucy:
Well lunch is presumably now over. @TWILT, classes with Reis and Mercedes begin. Mercedes is awfully...lost in thought about something.

Rosalinda :
Now it's film class, one of Linda's favorite classes.

Clockwork Angel:
"Ooooh! Their screams were so very melodic!"

Rosalinda :
"Good afternoon Reis and Merci."

Bocconotto:
"Bah! That was terrible, boyz! I thought we totally gave it our all, but that opera tune totally blew us away!"

Cheryl:
"Also bloody 'ell, what's with these burger styles?"

Darius:
Darius takes off his headphones, "Maybe they should try death metal." How he was able to hear her through the things, nobody knows.

Tuca:
"Hummpth! Well, EX-CUTHE me, tubby, but if you had remembered tha lyricth properly, we thurely would have reached a leth repulthive rap rapthody, know what I'm thaying?"
Charlotte: (( brb dying ))

Cars Saye:
"Yeahlikethosemoveswouldhavesavedusanywayimeancomeon"
Darius: (( I don't think maptool works ))
Darius: (( like you think it does ))
Cars Saye: (( then his dialogue shall forever by a mystery to you (GST) ))

Darius:
Darius stares in disbelief, fuming at the three bozos, "...You're STILL HERE?! Get OUT of here! ...wait, scratch that, how are you able to walk after being blasted?"

Reis:
"Heeey there! Nevermind it seems, Merci here has been handling things just fine! Say, you planning on doing anything after classes are done with? We haven't gone out in a while..."

Mercedes:
*Hums to herself* "Hmmm......"

Lyric:
"Is that a...fried noodle burger? I could go worse, I suppose..."
Rosalinda : (( what time were we supposed to meet for band practice? Immediately after school? ))
Charlotte: (( Something along those lines ))

Ladd:
"Hah, fried noodles? You haven't lived till you've experienced the Diablo burger! The buns are nothing but baked Sriacha, and the patty is coated with an outer layer of scotch bonnet Pickapeppa!"
Ladd: (( and yeah more or less ))

Clockwork Angel:
"The...opera... But...but I..." Clockwork pouts and whimpers, as if she's about to cry, before suddenly flaring up, alight with a rather aesthetic aurora of fury, "DO NOT IGNORE ME!"
Clockwork Angel: (( >Diablo burger ))
Clockwork Angel: (( they keep taking it back and making you sign contracts before they'll let you eat it ))

Rosalinda :
"Ohhh sorry, I got plans after school. I'll have to check my schedule again..."
Charlotte: (( I was gonna suggest you have to keep grinding against weaker burgers ))
Charlotte: (( and then you'll have a 1/255 chance of encountering it ))

Rosalinda :
Linda then turns her attention to MErci. "Hey everything alright? You seem, uh, out of it."

Cheryl:
"That sounds...disgusting."

Bocconotto:
"Gaaaaah! Fine, fine! We'll do whatever! Yeesh, kids these days, always gotta shine thier lights directly into our eyes..."
Charlotte: (( Did I mention how glad I am that I'm a friend of Angel's ))
Charlotte: (( I mean really she's kinda scary when she wants to be ))

Darius:
"...you're going to regret it if you don't get out of here now." Darius edges as far away from the boys as he can get, until his back's at the wall.

Darius:
He doesn't -actively- move away from CA, but he does make damn sure to stay behind her, and keeps his eye on her.

Cars Saye:
*Incoming personality change to suit the needy* "Heh. Simple mortals such as you are a thousand lightyears away from comprehending our way of life, forged within the fires of the 7th layer of hell. Our commitment to only the finest hip-hop will stupefy you, surely a fan of lesser mainstream garbage like Scarface, Mike Jones, and Bobby Jimmy and the Critters. Come back when you've broken through the valley of the shadow of death!"

Charlotte:


Marian:
"AAaaa~!...Oh, wait, is it over already? Much sadness. But at least I know my pipes haven't gone twisted just yet!"
Darius: (( Damn, you killed Karsai's characterization ))
Darius: (( he didn't speak nearly that much ))
Darius: (( rest is spot-on though ))
Charlotte: (( bitch he knows it is ))

Cheryl:
Cheryl glances around the restaurant before looking back to the menu, "Hell if I know what I want..."

Reis:
"Eh, it's okay. I understand."

Mercedes:
"Hmm? Me? Oh, I've just been lost in thought. Don't mind me. Just some stuff back home that's been on my mind."

Rosalinda :
(Prolly shouldn't push the sunject too much...) "Oh, hope everything's okay at home with your family and such."

Rosalinda :
subject*
Charlotte: (( with everything she's been implying, her dad's probably in chains ))
Charlotte: (( paying for his myriad injustices ))

Mercedes:
Merci gives a faint smile "Don't worry. Everything is just fine. Never been better in fact."
Charlotte: (( see stuff like that, that's exactly what I mean ))
Rosalinda : (( *checks* Is there anything I can do to tell if she's ly- Baaah, all I have is sense ki ;_; ))
Charlotte: (( Oh no, she's definitely telling the truth ))
Charlotte: (( she just has her own definition of "never been better" ))
Charlotte: (( find out what her replicant does ))

Clockwork Angel:
Clockwork glares at Marian's spotlight-stealing self for but a moment, but quickly softens her expression before saying, "Yes! I am sure we would make a fine duet!" Then she turns her once-again-hard eye toward the poor souls who ignored her... "My, my, my! Such audacity! You say you have seen the shadow of death? Then through me shall you witness the light of it! If you have tired of Hell, then I shall throw you unto the path toward Heaven!"
Clockwork Angel: (( it punches people, Agi ))
Clockwork Angel: (( we covered this ))
Charlotte: (( well, that'd probably be enough ))

Rosalinda :
Linda returns with her own faint smile. "That's good to hear...say, uh, you two available this weekend? Food's on me."

Darius:
"...Uh, Clockwork? That's... probably not necessary. They're just...stupid kids, with horrible taste and even worse talent in music."

Tuca:
"Oh no! I'm thoooo thcared! Whacha gonna do little girl, thneeze on uth?" Tuca sassily puts his hand on his hip and shoos you away.

Charlotte:
I suppose Charlotte should be in the lunchroom, but that hasn't changed the plan of rushing to the- my god, I love you Tirk - what's left of the lunchline and getting what she can

Bocconotto:
"Well fine! But at least we know the place we shall soon take by storm! Come, boyz! Tonight, we RIDE!"

Reis:
"Sure thing! Right Merci?"
Darius: (( Sadly I'm pretty sure they're your biggest competition. ))

Mercedes:
"Huh? Oh, yeah, definitely. Not doing anything on the weekend to my knowledge."
Charlotte: (( what about Marian ))
Darius: (( I said YOUR competition ))
Darius: (( she'll win, no contest ))
Charlotte: (( maybe. ))

Lyric:
"..." Lyric begins to feel a bit unsettled. "I'm not sure why, but there's something about this place..."

Cheryl:
"Hmm? Like what?"

Rosalinda :
"Then it's a date! Err. you know to hang out as friends and stuff...bleh, you know what I mean! =P"

Lyric:
"Like I-" She eyes to the side and immediately ducks down under the desk.

Darius:
"Yes, yes, run, ride, or whatever. Vamoose, get out of here," Darius points toward the horizon, signalling that it is in fact, in CASE YOU DIDN'T NOTICE, time to GTFO, "Your ashes get on this house, and Stouffer will have my head. And I can only hope she takes the rest of me, too."

Ladd:
"WoooAH! What'chu in a rush for?"

Clockwork Angel:
Angel continues to glower at the trio, ready to blow them away should they linger any longer, in a vastly different way than Lyric seems to be planning.
Charlotte: (( You want Stouffer to take you, you say ))

Sialia:
"AAH HAH! THERE YOU ARE CHERYL! You are Cheryl, right?!" The annoying gangsteress from before returns in full force, but she seems to only notice one of you...for now.
Clockwork Angel: (( Eh, Stouffer's not bad ))

Cheryl:
"Nope, looks like you found 'Cheryl Jr.' again." she sneers.

Cars Saye:
"Hahahah....you act high and mighty now, but let it be known; Soon you too shall be another victim of our new age of artistry, and soon you will be begging for the sweet release of darkness to envelop your skin, another victim of your own naiivetie! Muuahahahaha!"

Marian:
"They seem like swell fellows, don't they? We should all hang out more often."

Sialia:
"Oh...come on!" Sialia bites her jacket. "I've been looking everywhere for Cheryl, but she keeps on avoiding me! What if she's dead or something? I'm worried sick!"

Ladd:
" :|.... " Ladd feels like it's in his best interest to not get too involved.

Cheryl:
"Prolly got off a bit better than whatshisface, Pollo?" Cheryl replies with a sly grin.

Lucy:
and so uh...next class, that's the one with Charlotte too I think

Darius:
"...Angel, I'm starting to think your powers may not let them live long enough to regret those lines. I need to hasten my work..." Darius glances over at Marian, "Well...good news, I guess. They're bound to enter the competition, God help us, so you'll see them then."

Rosalinda :
*Takes out drum set* TIME FOR BAND : D

Sialia:
Sialia stares at you with a blood-red intention. "Not funny. Pollo was my friend..."

Charlotte:
this is the only place I get to play a violin anymore

Cheryl:
"My apologies then."

Sialia:
"Guuh..all my friends are either dead or missing now...this isn't worth it at all anymore! Uwaaa....screw this mission, it's hopeless. I just wanna go home..."

Rosalinda :
Linda is just doing her best to practice. She tries her best to keep up with the rest of her classmates. « 1d10+2 = 7 + 2 = 9 » Performance roll because wynaut

Clockwork Angel:
"Oh, they have heeded my words! They did not ignore me! Yet still I cannot bring myself to forgive the fools for their slights. Oh, I look so forward to our next meeting!"

Charlotte:
« 1d10+6 = 10 + 6 = 16 » c'mon now

Charlotte:
yeah

Charlotte:
« 1d10 = 5 » best be exploding them dice

Charlotte:
aw

Rosalinda :
Linda is definitely feeling it today. After clearing things up with her friends, she seems focused and ready to practice her drumming. "Hohum~!" She emits a vibrant energy that everyone in the class notices.

Cheryl:
"The other Cheryl didn't exactly sound like a 'friend', the way that Pollo bloke was putting it." Cheryl shakes her head and sighs, "Sounded like he was out to kill her. He did say that'd piss you right the fuck off though if you found out if I remember right..."

Darius:
"Maybe Stouffer will appreciate the light show... Wait, damn, I have to set that up, too! Argh, come on, forget them, we have a lot of work ahead of us today."
Cheryl: (( THAT FUCKING TRAITOR DARIUS NEEDS TO DIE (D) ))
Cheryl: (( SPEAKING OF KILLING FRIENDS (D) ))
Charlotte: (( But I'm totally on Stouffer's side ))
Cheryl: (( THAT FUCKING TRAITOR CHARLOTTE NEEDS TO DIE (D) ))
Charlotte: (( see, this is what party split does ))
Charlotte: (( it splits the party ))

Charlotte:
Charlotte seems to be putting on one of the better performances of her life as well... in preparation for today's practice? Vented frustration from gym? Eagerness caused by how close we are to completing the Fire and Flames thing? Who knows, who knows.
Cheryl: (( Actually, is Stouffer allied with Casey? ))
Darius: (( it's probably the zambles ))
Charlotte: (( I think Penguin is ))
Darius: (( in a way, she's allied with Zhen ))
Darius: (( Penguin was, but was going to betray him ))
Charlotte: (( I thought that was just Sialia? ))
Cheryl: (( Then I don't hate Stouffer. ))
Darius: (( Sialia WORKS FOR PENGUIN ))

Sialia:
Sialia shakes her head. "I'm not about to let that happen. Don't tell anyone else this, but I'm fully intending to bust this joint as soon as possible. Still just...aaugh. Forget it. I'll just go crash my last friend's place again, whether or not she's home."
Darius: (( or at least did ))
Charlotte: (( I thought Sialia was planning to betray PENGUIN ))
Sialia: (( Stouffer is allied with Zhen, and Casey is also allied with Zhen ))
Darius: (( she might have by NOW ))
Sialia: (( Penguin used to be allied with Zhen, but she betrayed him ))
Cheryl: (( Then I hate Stouffer. ))
Charlotte: (( *flips table* all these politics that each of us have like, 40% knowledge of ))

Cheryl:
"'Ave fun with that, love."

Sialia:
"Grr..." Sialia stomps off hastily.
Darius: (( So lessee ))
Darius: (( Linda is on Sialia/Penguin's side ))
Darius: (( Darius and Charlotte are on Stouffer's side ))
Darius: (( and Al is somehow directly on Zhen's side ))

Cheryl:
Cheryl waits until the blonde girl leaves before giving the other Cheryl the all-clear, "Looks like she's gone now."
Darius: (( But really not on anyone's ))
Rosalinda : (( I keep thinking of the Batman villain >:V ))

Donald:
"Woah! Very impressive girls! What got into you today, huh?" The teacher is pretty stunned by your performance
Charlotte: (( I've never even SEEN Penguin's token ))
Cheryl: (( And I am all of me. ))
Darius: (( it's Peacock. ))
Darius: (( Or at least, the TF1 Penguin was ))
Charlotte: (( Peacock who ))
Darius: (( the skrulgril, unsurprisingly ))
Cheryl: (( Skulgirls ))
Charlotte: (( I never played that game ))
Charlotte: (( But I will go look this up ))
Darius: (( neither have I ))

Wendam:
"Hmm..." The shining star of the band club has token notice of you, with a sinister gleam in her eye.
Charlotte: (( ah, that. ))
Darius: (( Welp, best prepare for lesbianism ))
Charlotte: (( no thank you ))
Darius: (( run while you can ))
Rosalinda : (( which one tirk ))
Charlotte: (( well, I'm the one with a 16, but probably both of us ))
Rosalinda : (( juust wanna make sure ))

Cheryl:
"...Oi, you dead down there??"

Charlotte:
Charlotte nods, still in-tune with her performance. "Thank you, sir, it must just be a good day."

Lyric:
Lyric gets out from under the table. "..." She gives an uncertain silence. "I'm not sure...I'm not sure who to trust anymore..."
Lyric: (( and waddya mean which one ))

Rosalinda :
"Ah yes! Thank you sir! I'm definitely feeling it today!"
Rosalinda : (( Wendam notices you, as which one? ))
Rosalinda : (( as in* ))
Wendam: (( if by Wendam, I suppose both of you in a way, but mostly at Charlotte for rolling higher ))
Rosalinda : (( oh he's all yours agi ))
Charlotte: (( It's a chick ))
Rosalinda : (( how can- Ohhh just noticed the bow ))
Charlotte: (( it IS pretty androgynous, yeah. ))
Charlotte: (( I had to reread Tirk's post ))
Darius: (( it's a 2hu ))
Darius: (( of course it's a girl ))

Cheryl:
"...if there's one thing you -don't- want to take away from me...well, besides the whole being a bitch alcoholic with lungs blacker than her heart, it's the whole not trusting people shit..." Cheryl replies with a heavy sigh. "It just makes life miserable when you can't..."
Charlotte: (( what is that, Cirno in an alternate costume? ))
Wendam: (( it's Cirno dressed as some loser from a PW game ))
Darius: (( I'd have guessed some PRismriver, but I don't actually know them by look ))
Darius: (( Ah ))
Wendam: (( because if you can name it, there's probably Touhou fanart of it in some capacity ))
Wendam: (( even for situations that would never come up otherwise ))
Wendam: (( http://1d4chan.org/images/e/e4/TouhouSharks.jpg ))

Charlotte:
Charlotte meets Wendam's gaze for an uncomfortable second before looking away, grimacing internally. She has no real intentions of joining the band club, seeing her presence at this school as only temporary.

Lyric:
Lyric bites her lip, uneasiness flowing around her. "I...I'm sorry. Then I know what must be done...I just won't do it now."

Wendam:
Wendam's glare is more menacing than anything, as if she's slowly analyzing your technique. Nonetheless, band ends with a bang, and you're off to your next class, which is probably unimportant.

Charlotte:
It's German

Charlotte:
it doesn't get much less important

Lucy:
So yeah I guess school is over then

Cheryl:
Cheryl frowns upset that she's gone and upset herself. "It's...weird...sometimes you just need to trust people sometimes...even if everything in your mind tells you not to...which is what my mind tells me all the bloody time..." Cheryl's gaze scans across the table from the other Cheryl to Ladd, "Sometimes I guess the hardest person to trust is yourself..."

Ladd:
Ladd couldn't feel like more of a third wheel even if he tried. "Well...this sure went places. Still, don't think I've had any problems with trusting myself. Heck, if anything, I probably trust myself a bit TOO much, heh..heheh..."
Darius: (( note to self: never trust ladd ))

Lyric:
"...I see. I'd like to trust myself...but that's hard to do, given that I, well...don't know who I am in the first place."

Rosalinda :
I have gym with Merci, but there isn't anything else that needs to be said I think

Charlotte:
Do we have an abandoned garage we practice at or something? We have to have SOMEplace (hmm)
tirkaroKujo:
There is one convenient practice location, sort of an unpopular miniature theatre of sorts, mostly used for school plays and events. It's usually empty at this time, so off-beat bands tend to use it a lot. You probably already used it once or twice in the past.

Cheryl:
Cheryl nods, "I'd like to think we never really know who we are fully...there's way too many fuckin' things happenin' in this world. I mean like...you could say you'd never kill somebody, but then you end up face to face with someone who killed your best friend or some shit...the fuck do you do in that situation, ya know?" She stops for a second before apologizing, "Sorry, that was sort of a weird example. Guess I'm just sayin' that you never really know who you are for real until a situation arrives...everything shapes who you -really- are."

Rosalinda :
After school time at last; Linda already made a promise to meet the group for band practice. "Guess I'll go find Charlotte and then meet up with Cheryl..."

Lyric:
Lyric widens her eyes at that comparison, as if she went into shock. "Aah.." She holds her head. "I'm sorry, that was weird..." She shakes her head. "I feel like I've been even more lost than I was before...but at this rate, dwelling on it may not be the quickest way out..."

Cheryl:
"...sorry.."

Ladd:
Ladd awkwardly chomps on his burger. It's obvious he's long since lost track of the discussion.

Charlotte:
Charlotte's, most likely, nowhere to be found. She has a wardrobe adjustment to make before she's ready to strap on her bass.

Charlotte:
But she has to, somehow, figure out where Darius's cameras are not going to be. (waiting)
Cheryl: (( WARDROBE MALFUNCTION. ))

Lyric:
"It's okay. More than anything, I want to know just what I am...but perhaps that answer has been alongside me. Something inherent to everyone...I take comfort in that."
Charlotte: (( let's stay away from that, please (D) ))

Rosalinda :
"...Bleh, can't seem to find her. Guess she went home to prepare or something." Linda gets her cellphone ready, and proceeds to call Cheryl.
Darius: (( Trust me Charlotte, I ain't gonna be watching my cameras right now ))
Darius: (( too busy installing them ))
Darius: (( Clockwork'll probably see you sometime tonight. ))
Charlotte: (( Like hell I know that (D) ))

Cheryl:
"Well shit, without being overly deep or whatever the fuck this'd be, you're you. You may look like me, and you may sorta sound like me, but you're not me. Are you?" She stares down at the plate before her, suddenly not very hungry. "I mean if yu were me, we couldn't be talkin' right now, right? Oi, Ladd!" she glances over at Ladd, "You see two of us, right?"
Charlotte: (( there's got to be a less sluttastic version of this image http://gelbooru.com/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=1909519 ))
Darius: (( You've always been a slut, Charlotte ))
Darius: (( just accept it ))
Charlotte: (( Maybe if I just, like, put something BENEATH that lightningbolt layer ))
Darius: (( nope, you can't go changing your look now ))
Charlotte: (( keep the motif, but technically cover a bit more (D) ))
Darius: (( you'd be kicked outta the band ))
Charlotte: (( I AM THE BAND ))

Ladd:
"Yep! Sure thing! I hope so at least!"
Darius: (( They could always replace you ))
Darius: (( With, like, Marian or something ))
Cheryl: (( Now what would be amazing is if Charlotte just took it to the extreme and dressed up like the kid from A Christmas Story. ))
Darius: (( or Clockwork ))
Cheryl: (( And she just had like eight layers of clothing. ))

Cheryl:
Cheryl laughs, having put Ladd on the spot, "Ya see? Then you can't be me! And if you're not me, then you must be your own person!"
Charlotte: (( siiigh ))
Charlotte: (( I'll go grab the token (crs) ))

Rosalinda :
"Pick up Cheryl, pick up..."
Lyric: (( >Not being Genocider Syo ))
Charlotte: (( I don't understand how that would solve any of my problems ))
Darius: (( well you'd kill the rest of the band ))
Darius: (( and thus not have to wear the costume for the band ))

Cheryl:
Cheryl suddenly feels a vibrating in her pants that she hopes to god isn't Ladd! She fishes in her pocket for her phone and pulls it out with a click. "Oi, what's up?"

Lyric:
"My own person..." Lyric looks down, shuffling her feet. "it seems so. Maybe, even if I once was Cheryl, my earlier life has no more bearing on what my 'identity' is. For as long as I breathe now...in this world...I am now Lyric. 'Make the bes to of what you have', all of that, right?"
Rosalinda : (( hah something vibrating ))
Darius: (( did they HAVE vibrate in 1999 (HMM) ))
Darius: (( seriously, to this day I don't own a cellphone ))
Darius: (( fuck would I know (D) ))

Lyric:
She clasps her hands in warmth. "Thank you. I feel much better now. Being my own person is a truly liberating feeling."

Rosalinda :
"Hey, it's Linda. We got practice now, right? Should I go over there and meet up with you?"
Darius: (( and you're a ????? ))
Tiffany: (( No idea ))
Darius: (( @tiffany ))

Cheryl:
"Uh, yeah. Sure. Just out with some people at the moment. I'll meetcha back there."
Tokens dropped onto map 'Cobblestone2Revengeance' by player Thrice (Player)

Alloces:
And Marona said I was cheesy, you're outdoing me (D)

Alloces:
We can't have that shit (D)

Alloces:
That's my schtick (D)
Tiffany: (( damn, how long's it BEEN since I used this token? ))
Tiffany: (( Friday? ))
Alloces: (( I've got my eye on you (D) You start having a semi-successful love life or murdering ninjas and your ass is grass (D) ))

Ladd:
Ladd wipes his brow. "Going somewhere else already? Well, it was fun at least! Even if I had trouble following the gist of it all..."

Cheryl:
"See ya." Cheryl clicks her phone off and stuffs it back in her pocket, "Sorry 'bout that. But yeah, we got practice 'n shit I guess. Gonna meet 'em back at my place."

Cheryl:
Cheryl gets up and pats down her pockets before suddenly giving Ladd a very serious look. "Shit. You're payin', right?"

Rosalinda :
"Aight." Linda turns her phone off and packs her things. She then immediately heads off to Cheryl's place...
Tiffany: (( Damn it Cheryl (D) ))
Tiffany: (( at least Lyric is your opposite ))
Tiffany: (( she'll foot the bill ))
Tiffany: (( she'd use a coaster ))

Rosalinda :
...Though not before making a quick call to Charloffany's cell...
Alloces: (( You know, I think when I meet the Cheryls ))

Ladd:
Ladd whistles and grumbles. "Y-yeah, I...guess..."
Alloces: (( I'll call Lyric Cheryl, and Cheryl Lyric. ))
Cheryl: (( That makes her sound like an elephant. ))

Lyric:
"*SIgh* You don't have enough, do you? Don't worry, I have my own money from before..."
Alloces: (( Because the latter is like, the negative one. So it makes sense she's the second. ))
Alloces: (( She's the nega-cheryl (D) ))

Cheryl:
Cheryl cracks a smile and laughs slightly, "Chroist Ladd, I'm yankin' your chain."

Ladd:
"(Seriously don't scare me like that again holy shit) Hahaha!"

Ladd:
"...She's right though, I totally forgot all my cash at home....god this is embarassing..."

Tiffany:
Half-in, half-out of costume, her cell phone rings. "Gaah... come on, can't it wait a sec?" But of course it can't, and so she awkwardly stumbles over to pick up her phone before someone starts knocking on the door. "Yeah! What's up, what do you want?" She says in her only partially-convincing cover voice.

Cheryl:
She tosses some money down on the table and stretches her arms upwards, "Shit's on me this time. Shoulda seen the fuckin' look on your face." She stops suddenly, "Shit man, how long've you been broke for? You said you've been spendin' your nights on the street 'n shit.."

Rosalinda :
"Hey Charlotte, just called Cheryl, I'm gonna meet her at her place. See you there for practice?"

Tiffany:
"Sure, sure, just give me a second here. I thought we were meeting at (PLACE), but I guess you need some help moving that drum set of yours. I think we always made Ladd carry it himself."
Cheryl: (( BOTH WAYS UPHILL! ))

Ladd:
"Yeeeaaaah...some troubles went down at home, and I sorta voluntarily evicted myself. Didn't wanna cause anyone else trouble. I just ain't that kind of guy, y'know?"

Rosalinda :
"Yeaah, haven't seen him in a while. Hope he's not down in the dumps again."

Cheryl:
"Yeah, you never were one for talkin' much, Ladd." She jabs him playfully in the shoulder, "That's why we stuck ya on the drums."

Tiffany:
"Hey, you're not going to BELIEVE what happened last night - we're definitely two for three on assembling that Fire and Flames thing of yours! Oh, but that can wait until after practice. Nice job today in class, let's just keep that up."

Ladd:
"Ch'yeah. Still, I've scraped by. Emphasis on scraped. Guess I can tag along a bit longer, but I think one of the buds from my classes needed help moving or something, so I probably can't stick along for an extended play."
Alloces: (( Technically, we're THREE for three ))

Rosalinda :
"Yeah, lets! Call me incase somthing comes up!" Linda says as she hangs up and then proceeds to get to Cheryl's place ASAP.
Tiffany: (( yeah, but I have no way of knowing that ))
Tiffany: (( unless Mimmy being vague counts ))
Tiffany: (( but Jimbles was equally vague ))
Darius: (( er ))
Darius: (( Mimmy had the hand when she teleported in, I think ))
Darius: (( with Linda ))
Tiffany: (( My attention was sort of directed to the killer death nun ))
Darius: (( Screw that, you gotta take in everything (D) ))

Cheryl:
Cheryl starts walking back to her apartment, "Well if you've already got a place to stay at, that's fine. Was gonna ask if you need to crash at my place." she says, her hands behind her head as she casually strolls ahead.
Darius: (( I don't have 6 perception AND awareness for nothing ))
Darius: (( I have 6 Perception and Awareness because I have to to have Gadgeteering. ))
Tiffany: (( I know, I know ))
Tiffany: (( You also need PROPERTY DAMAGE or something, for some reason ))
Darius: (( indeed ))
Darius: (( I apparently need to be a master of destroying shit with my bare hands to be able to destroy shit with gadgetry ))
Darius: (( that makes sense, it seems ))

Ladd:
"YOU were going to ask? Haha! Since when did you get all soft on me all of a sudden?" Ladd bobs his way along with you. "I appreicate the gesture either way, but yeah..HOPEFULLY won't be necessary today."

Rosalinda :
Linda arrives at Cheryl's place (which estimating took roughly 10-15, maybe 20 minutes from the school).

Cheryl:
"Hey, I'm in a good mood today. Besides, even I'm not gonna let you fuckin' slum it out on the streets. And this way, I can keep an eye on you so you don't pull any funny business whether I'm there or not." she says with a grin, tilting her head towards the other Cheryl.
Tiffany: (( Wait, I thought you were talking like your house was trashed? ))
Tiffany: (( from Zhen and such ))

Lyric:
Lyric has been mostly silent, thinking to herself about various worries and thoughts you've probably picked up on.

Cheryl:
Cheryl stops, "No, that's not right." She turns to face the other Cheryl, "If you're gonna be your own person, I can't keep callin' you me and shit...let's see...Cheryl...Cheryl...Cher? Nah. Ce? Ci? Is that even a fuckin' name?"

Cheryl:
"Uhhhh...Lyrehc? Leereck...Lyric?"

Lyric:
Lyrech nods her head. "Lyric is a fine name. An endless combination of words, describing a lifetime's worth of strife, happiness, smiles, and tears, all in a beautiful, melodic manner. Actually, after describing it that way, I'm starting to think it's too good for me..."
Rosalinda : (( sooo you guys just at the front door or is this gonna be awkward ))
Tiffany: (( she could very easily get home before we do ))
Tiffany: (( I'll be there after you, anyway ))
Rosalinda : (( *shrug* :V ))
Lyric: (( sure, let's say you make it on time ))

Rosalinda :
*Knocks*

Cheryl:
"...well shit, I would've just said it's a bitchin' cool name...but if you feel that way about it, then you can earn that name by bein' your own person, making yourself into that name; that can be -you-.

Lyric:
Lyric smiles and nods. "I shall try my best to live up to it."

Cheryl:
Cheryl gets up and opens the door, "Oi, what's up Linda."

Ladd:
"*Yaaawn* Here already then?"

Rosalinda :
"Heya! Charlotte's gonna be here soonish; mind if I come in?"

Cheryl:
"Nah. Least it's not as jammed as last time." Cheryl pauses for a second, "And a bit more breezy, bathroom window's shattered out by the by."

Rosalinda :
"...Ohhh, what happened?" Linda steps in the house. "Hey, uh, other Cheryl,,,and Ladd! You're alive! :o"

Cheryl:
"Whole revival thing didn't go as planned, had to jump out the window, brought a building down on some guy. Par for the course with us, I guess."

Ladd:
The drummer boy raises his hand. "Yo. Did you really think a BA-MF like me would pass to the other side so easily? That hurts, lady!" Ladd gives a mocking sniffle.

Lyric:
"It was quite a terrifying turn of events...but we all made it out alive, if not stronger than ever."

Rosalinda :
"Eesh...sounds like an ordinary day for you..." Linda walks up to Ladd, and pinches his arm. "You ARE real, right?"

Ladd:
"Ow! Well, at least you know I'm not a ghost or anything!"
Tiffany: (( oddly, I'm suddenly incredibly tired ))
Tiffany: (( not bored, not frustrated or anything ))
Tiffany: (( just kinda would like to sleep a bit earlier than usual ))
Darius: (( we should have been done an hour ago, honestly ))

Rosalinda :
"Ahhh...always wanted to do that~"
Darius: (( we've been at this for five or six hours now ))
tirkaroKujo:
Don't worry, I'm infinitely more tired than you are right now
Tiffany: (( I don't think that's possible ))
Cheryl: (( I fell asleep three times during this session. ))
tirkaroKujo:
And thus, the title of this session shall be "Why the fuck is everyone tired"
Rosalinda : (( Then that's all for today? ))
Tiffany: (( Good, good ))
Darius: (( I think Twilt may be the only one not ))
Cheryl: (( Basically from 7:00-9:00 I kept falling asleep, waking up and posting a reply and then falling back asleep. ))
Darius: (( as I am perpetually tired ))
Rosalinda : (( nah, I should be getting some sleep too lol ))

Tiffany:
foobaw

ThatBaka:
AND SO NEXT EPISODE IS WHEN THINGS SHALL BE PRACTICED
Cheryl: (( Well now I'm actually -awake- after that, so I'm not toooooooooo bad. ))

ThatBaka:
foobaw

Cheryl:
Also now I'm like deathly afraid of walking in on Ladd and Lyric (SAD)

ThatBaka:
L-lewd
Darius: (( and I've officially made a token for every gen I pokemon ))
Darius: (( now I can rest easy ))

Tiffany:
He's gonna hit you up for a threesome
Darius: (( I assume the ENTIRETY of the next session will be them practicing ))

Rosalinda :
I'll leave them be then :V
Darius: (( I was sorta actually expecting those guys to fight me ))

ThatBaka:
they can't fight you

ThatBaka:
not yet at least

Tiffany:
they ain't statted
Darius: (( ie "I haven't statted them yet" ))

Cheryl:
But yeah

Cheryl:
Tryin' to throw Ladd a bone here.

Darius:
and he's trying to throw you one

Cheryl:
Also, I was really tempted to just whip out QR at the restaurant

Cheryl:
See if he could see him.

Tiffany:
Oh, damn

Darius:
All you gotta do is wait

Tiffany:
I never went back to Jimbles

Darius:
For me to exist

Cheryl:
Probably for the best that I didn't

Darius:
Though...

Cheryl:
ALSO

Cheryl:
TOTALLY -BURNED- SIALIA (COOL)

Darius:
Did he see the toy soldiers in the supermarket? (waiting)

Tiffany:
He was buried by them

Tiffany:
but I don't know if he SAW them.

ThatBaka:
Toy Soldiers are still visible by people

Cheryl:
Right

ThatBaka:
even the old lady managing the store could see them

Cheryl:
Otherwise that old lady shop keeper is-

Cheryl:
THE FINAL BOSS OF THE CAMPAIGN (D)

Clockwork Angel:
CA is, technically

Clockwork Angel:
but she appears as just a regular little girl to most people

Tiffany:
a flying little girl

Tiffany:
Darius has a strong arm

Clockwork Angel:
One who..can fly, I guess

Cheryl:
So Darius is just a raging pedophile to most people.

Clockwork Angel:
Or a very young father

Cheryl:
Nope, raging pedophile is the only option.

Clockwork Angel:
But he's like

Clockwork Angel:
The LEAST perverted character in this campaign (D)

Tiffany:
He's a necrophiliac

Clockwork Angel:
even were he, that would still hold true

Cheryl:
Yeah, he is trying to fuck a zombie.

Tiffany:
The least perverted character is like

Tiffany:
Sister Rosa

Clockwork Angel:
I dunno

Tiffany:
And the most, Doleman

Clockwork Angel:
She's probably got a lot backed up

Cheryl:
The least perverted PC is just goddamn Cheryl again (D)

Tiffany:
I don't believe there is anything but good in her heart.

Darius:
And I'm not trying fuck the zombie (D)

Tiffany:
Sister Rosa's, I mean

Darius:
to*

Tiffany:
Yes, she is a misunderstood mass murderer (D)

Tiffany:
I don't care (D)

Darius:
It's not like sex is evil, Charlotte

Darius:
You've got a lot to learn about the world

Darius:
But that's Jimbles' job, not mine

Cheryl:
I mean shit, the girl who's entire life is influenced by the culture of sex, drugs and punk music is somehow the least violent and the least perverted (D)

Darius:
Hey, I've not fought anyone.

Darius:
I explicitly went out of my way to NOT fight just now (D)

Tiffany:
Eh, Jimbles isn't even awful

Darius:
But they didn't listen (D)

Darius:
Even with that, I personally have not touched a soul.
