  1. Sep 08 20:08:31 <@zoofman> Okay, so last time we left off with you guys going to drop the anti-supernatural device off to Roland and crew. Roland did seem to have an idea in mind for it as you left him to tinker with it. You also collected Corbin and Yanala, to try to get them to reason with Shango. And I -think- Chase wanted Oya to stay awake long enough to actually try to dispell some layers of the corruption around the palace?
  2. Sep 08 20:09:47 <Chase_Violet> Eh? That's out of the blue. No, he had suggested breaking into the throne room. But if that's a thing she can do it might be warranted.
  3. Sep 08 20:10:47 <Rosetta> If she can do it while giving protection to a team of burly men and big Pokemon to drag out the remains of the spaceship, that'd be ideal.
  4. Sep 08 20:13:08 <@zoofman> She can't do both at once, but if Rosetta managed to rope enough people and Pokes together to get the damn thing out. And by that I mean Gabriella, Ymir and Norina arrived.
  5. Sep 08 20:14:51 <@zoofman> Between a lot of shoving, pulling, and tugging from a lot of big mean FIghtin' Types and a brown Arcanine, they did manage to start push it out of the rubble. "Why exactly are we moving this stupid thing, cuz?!" Norina seems less than thrilled to be doing this.
  6. Sep 08 20:16:49 <Rosetta> "Cause there might be something in here that'll help us fight the evil space fairies, and it's easier for people to study it and take it apart if it's not in the middle of a mind control field, yeah?"
  7. Sep 08 20:17:24 <Chase_Violet> Chase isn't really stronk but he has Haydn try to help too. "I get your point, but I wonder if it's worth the time given how things are going..."
  8. Sep 08 20:17:47 <@zoofman> "You're an evil space fairy," she grumbles as they continue to try to shove it. Gabriella eventually calls Sudden Tempest and the Rockit Brothers over to assist too. As for Corbin and Yanala, they weren't so lucky.
  9. Sep 08 20:18:31 <@zoofman> In fact ever since they did try to speak to Shango, they've been a little agitated - sitting out of the way and brooding.
  10. Sep 08 20:19:50 »» Rosetta goes to check on them. "Heya, what's up?"
  11. Sep 08 20:20:42 <@zoofman> "He's a complete dick," Yanala huffs and crosses her arms.
  12. Sep 08 20:21:36 <Rosetta> "What'd he say?" She tilts her head.
  13. Sep 08 20:23:31 <@zoofman> Corbin swallows a laugh, trying not to show much reaction to Yanala's, well, over reaction. "He was all like, 'what, it took you that long to get here?' After we spent months investigating and being mind slaves, ya know. He's not leaving his stoop - he's more concerned with what the girl in the throne room will do if he's gone than his own safety."
  14. Sep 08 20:25:13 <Rosetta> "Well geez. I guess we don't have much choice but to try to defend him if Dandy shows up."
  15. Sep 08 20:25:23 <Rosetta> "When Dandy shows up, rather."
  16. Sep 08 20:25:54 <@zoofman> "Yeep," seems that way, Corbin says as he continues to supervise the shoving effort.
  17. Sep 08 20:26:00 <Chase_Violet> "Well, if we go after Genesis, you think he'll take a detour for Shango first?" he calls over.
  18. Sep 08 20:26:23 <Genevieve> "Depends on how quickly we get to her."
  19. Sep 08 20:26:32 <Genevieve> "Technically, he should be defending her."
  20. Sep 08 20:27:57 <@zoofman> The combined strength of the Fighting and Flying Gym finally gets the damned thing out and down in front of Peyote's estate. All the Trainers and Pokemon who helped seem completely exhausted, laying down in the grass around a big tub of Feraligateraid.
  21. Sep 08 20:29:28 <@zoofman> When Oya gets a break from all the floating around, defending people from mind bending evil, she tugs on Chase's sleeve. "Hey, about that door - you really want me to try to force it open?" Her tone implies she's hesitant.
  22. Sep 08 20:29:40 <Rosetta> "Guess we'll find out. Hey, look, they got the ship out." Rosetta trots over.
  23. Sep 08 20:30:15 <Rosetta> "Thanks, everyone!" She says to all the people sprawled out nearby. "We'll be able to give this a good lookover now. Shiny."
  24. Sep 08 20:31:18 <@zoofman> Gabriella looks up, "Aye bae, Sit in it and take a selfie before she beats you to it," she points at Genevieve.
  25. Sep 08 20:31:47 <Genevieve> "Pssh, I don't even need that."
  26. Sep 08 20:32:12 »» Genevieve snaps a quick pic of the ship itself and sends it out with #AncientAliens
  27. Sep 08 20:32:13 <Rosetta> "Okay!" Rosetta opens it up and hops into do just that. Then she takes a look around at what's in the thing.
  28. Sep 08 20:33:18 <@zoofman> Genevieve is now responsible for single handedly reviving the History Channel.
  29. Sep 08 20:34:07 »» Genevieve then also goes in for a quick investigation herself.
  30. Sep 08 20:34:32 <@zoofman> Well, Rosetta, there's not really much to interact with inside it. It's got a big, cushy chair with a lot of harnesses, a dropdown facemask like you'd find on an airship, and some glass that looks like it withstand an Electrode going thermo nuclear as a 'window.'
  31. Sep 08 20:34:35 <Chase_Violet> (One sec)
  32. Sep 08 20:34:47 <@zoofman> This thing was clearly meant for one way, predetermined trips.
  33. Sep 08 20:35:38 <Chase_Violet> He looks down at Oya. "Well, that's what I was thinking. What's up? You don't seem all too sure."
  34. Sep 08 20:35:58 <@zoofman> That said, there is a big red button on the right hand wall, and a little LED display on the left hand wall - it's currently powered down.
  35. Sep 08 20:36:04 <Genevieve> "It's more of an escape pod than a shuttle."
  36. Sep 08 20:36:28 »» Rosetta feels along the walls for any secret compartments, buttons, or latches. "Huh, doesn't look like much..."
  37. Sep 08 20:37:42 <@zoofman> "It's not that I don't think its possible, but what if I screw it up?" She frowns. "It's like Pandora's box in there, isn't it?"
  38. Sep 08 20:39:32 <Chase_Violet> "Yeah, no kidding. When we crack that thing open, all hell's gonna break loose. But even Pandora's Box had a nugget of hope innit, didn't it? I got faith that you can do it, though, but if you need time, or hell, anything else, then just let me know. Alternately, I guess we could just wait for Dandyman to show up, but..."
  39. Sep 08 20:40:19 <Genevieve> "We should get to safecracking."
  40. Sep 08 20:40:49 <Rosetta> "Hey guys, big red button here. Should I...?"
  41. Sep 08 20:41:02 <Chase_Violet> "No."
  42. Sep 08 20:41:39 <Genevieve> 6d6+5 Tech
  43. Sep 08 20:41:56 ---» CritSenpai (~CritSenpa@Rizon-F2F5F76E.hsd1.nj.comcast.net) has Joined #easternislesrhapsody
  44. Sep 08 20:43:06 <Genevieve> 6d6+5
  45. Sep 08 20:43:06 <CritSenpai> 6d6+5: 26 [6d6=2,4,1,5,3,6]
  46. Sep 08 20:45:56 <@zoofman> Genevieve, you think on -why- someone would install a big red flashy button like that. Contrary to popular belief, it's probably a terrible idea for a self destruct button. And given the device's intented use, you doubt its an emergancy release button either. It was likely installed and made so obvious with the intention that the individual using the device would have no trouble finding it if need be, and that using
  47. Sep 08 20:45:56 <@zoofman> it would be low risk to the user.
  48. Sep 08 20:46:31 <@zoofman> That said, heads or tails on if it's a bad idea or not.
  49. Sep 08 20:46:40 <Genevieve> "It's probably not going to blow up."
  50. Sep 08 20:47:01 <Rosetta> "So...yes?"
  51. Sep 08 20:48:54 <@zoofman> "If you guys really want me to, I'll do what I can to try to break the barrier around that door down," Oya concedes.
  52. Sep 08 20:49:16 <Chase_Violet> "Wait, wait, wait, Oya."
  53. Sep 08 20:49:40 <Chase_Violet> "If you're not really a hundred percent on-board with this then just talk to me, here. I value your input too."
  54. Sep 08 20:50:28 <Genevieve> "Just press the button."
  55. Sep 08 20:50:54 »» Rosetta presses
  56. Sep 08 20:51:41 <@zoofman> Bloooop. The LED to your left powers up.
  57. Sep 08 20:52:31 <@zoofman> ...It starts to make a shrill, repeating sound. Roll me Intuition, folks.
  58. Sep 08 20:52:36 <Chase_Violet> 6d6+6
  59. Sep 08 20:52:36 <CritSenpai> 6d6+6: 25 [6d6=5,3,1,1,5,4]
  60. Sep 08 20:53:01 <Genevieve> 2d6+1
  61. Sep 08 20:53:01 <CritSenpai> 2d6+1: 10 [2d6=4,5]
  62. Sep 08 20:53:31 <Rosetta> 1d6-1
  63. Sep 08 20:53:31 <CritSenpai> 1d6-1: 1 [1d6=2]
  64. Sep 08 20:54:01 <@zoofman> Chase, this sorta reminds you of a ring tone.
  65. Sep 08 20:54:05 <@zoofman> That sort of repeating sound.
  66. Sep 08 20:54:09 <@zoofman> Rosetta, I.
  67. Sep 08 20:54:22 <@zoofman> Well I'm not quite sure what you think it is, bit senses just went full kweh.
  68. Sep 08 20:54:28 <@zoofman> bird*
  69. Sep 08 20:54:39 <Chase_Violet> "I think ET's tryin' to phone home over there." he calls over, rubbing his ear.
  70. Sep 08 20:54:44 <Rosetta> "Uhh...?"
  71. Sep 08 20:55:07 <@zoofman> Clearly this is some sort of evil space fairy radio station
  72. Sep 08 20:55:18 <@zoofman> Yes, that's clearly the explanation.
  73. Sep 08 20:56:21 <Genevieve> "Hopefully it's not a distress call then. We should probably go check out that throne room."
  74. Sep 08 20:56:29 <Chase_Violet> "Yo, turn it off!" he calls over.
  75. Sep 08 20:56:38 <Rosetta> "Alright, guess we'll let someone else take a look at this." Rosetta jabs the button again.
  76. Sep 08 20:57:10 <@zoofman> When you tap it again, it powers off.
  77. Sep 08 20:57:44 <Chase_Violet> "Sounded kind of like an alarm... or a ring tone. Anyway."
  78. Sep 08 20:58:12 <Chase_Violet> "Oya, do you need a bit to rest?"
  79. Sep 08 20:58:57 <@zoofman> "Naw not really."
  80. Sep 08 20:59:40 <@zoofman> "So...safe cracking it is then? I think?" She double checks with you all first.
  81. Sep 08 20:59:43 <Chase_Violet> "Alright. Too bad we prolly can't try and get Gen's new keychain to help out." he snickers. "Alright then. You ready to be our ray of hope? Shit's 'bout to get real. We're all dependin' on ya. Let's get this shit done."
  82. Sep 08 21:01:32 <@zoofman> "Gee no pressure or anything huh?" She says with a nervous laugh as she floats back over to try to lead you over to the door.
  83. Sep 08 21:01:57 <Rosetta> "Shiny. This is gonna take a while though, isn't it?"
  84. Sep 08 21:02:31 <Chase_Violet> "Yeah, prolly. Luckily the hallway to the roof isn't far off from where we'll be. I bet we'd hear if anything went on upstairs."
  85. Sep 08 21:03:16 »» Chase_Violet follows Oya.
  86. Sep 08 21:03:50 <Genevieve> 'me follows on after. "I'll try and see if I can help guide you through it, but without D.C. I'm not gonna be picking any magic locks here."
  87. Sep 08 21:05:27 <@zoofman> Oya leads you through the deserted palace and to the large, embroided double doorway. She puts both hands on it as she starts to feel around it, sometimes leaning a cheek and ear to it, as if trying to hear through it. She hrms and haws as she looks it over.
  88. Sep 08 21:08:32 »» Genevieve strokes her chin and gives the door a once over, too. "Let's see what we're working with here."
  89. Sep 08 21:08:36 <Genevieve> 7d6+5 Occult
  90. Sep 08 21:08:37 <CritSenpai> Occult: 27 [7d6=6,4,1,5,3,2,1]
  91. Sep 08 21:08:46 »» Chase_Violet patiently waits, letting the girls do their thing.
  92. Sep 08 21:10:05 <@zoofman> "I can see how that key-thing got stumped if what Shango did was anything like this - one false move and he woulda got a face full of Sacred Fire." She 'tugs' on the door, invoking a pink and translucent device. It has a cylindrical shape, not unlike the inner workings of a lock, and the front of it seems to even have a key hole.
  93. Sep 08 21:10:28 <Rosetta> "Whoa, what is that?"
  94. Sep 08 21:11:48 <@zoofman> Basically, Gen, looks to you like she's trying to abstract this into something you can see and comprehend by making it take the shape of an actual lock. The counter measure on the door is probably not represented this literally, but it's something you three are able to digest easier and possibly even assist on when presented this way.
  95. Sep 08 21:12:36 <Rosetta> "If we had more time, I could get together some Unown spelling 'KEY' and maybe that'd help?" Rosetta shrugs.
  96. Sep 08 21:12:53 <@zoofman> "It's a door lock. Sort of. What I'm not showing is a hilariously large security system its glued to."
  97. Sep 08 21:13:20 <@zoofman> "You want to stick an Unown in a Fae lock," Oya asks, looking to Rosetta with a downcast expression.
  98. Sep 08 21:13:26 <Genevieve> "Bad idea."
  99. Sep 08 21:13:36 <Chase_Violet> "We could stick a fae in a fae lock." he remarks.
  100. Sep 08 21:14:07 <Rosetta> "Right. Uh. I'm not sure what I could help with here. I guess it's not really an option just to punch a hole in the wall on another side?"
  101. Sep 08 21:14:26 <Genevieve> "If Shango was that short sighted, it'd be almost in character, but still a miracle."
  102. Sep 08 21:14:43 <@zoofman> "You -want- me to break it open?"
  103. Sep 08 21:15:14 <Genevieve> "Technically, picking most locks is actually breaking them."
  104. Sep 08 21:15:15 <Chase_Violet> "Well, take your time, I was just thinking how hilarious it'd be if we tried to use the Banisher's freaky key thing against him."
  105. Sep 08 21:16:13 <@zoofman> "Your friend Aria could probably splinter the whole thing apart, honestly. Athena could maybe shapeshift into something that could help as well, or heck we could even try using that really rad sword as a lockpick."
  106. Sep 08 21:16:33 <Rosetta> "We could probe its mind and see if we can learn anything about how it got through before."
  107. Sep 08 21:16:54 <Rosetta> "There's a catch though, yeah? Like we all get very crispy if we do it that way?"
  108. Sep 08 21:17:16 <Genevieve> "Oh right. It's god magic, so an anti-god weapon might just shut it down." She pulls out the divine rapier and makes a few fake thrusts at the door.
  109. Sep 08 21:18:06 <Chase_Violet> "Rose probably knows how to pick locks better than any of us, and Oya could guide her with what's not exactly visualized..." he thinks.
  110. Sep 08 21:18:35 <@zoofman> "I'm pretty sure if we screw this up it'll be exactly like what would have happened if you had left that red button pressed."
  111. Sep 08 21:19:37 <@zoofman> "Could you? I'm actually not really sure how this lockpicking thing works. I abstracted it this way cause I could use a little help."
  112. Sep 08 21:19:57 <Genevieve> "Hold on, one more option to try."
  113. Sep 08 21:20:02 <Rosetta> "Picking a physical mechanical lock is pretty different from picking some magical metaphysical construct thing that works like a lock." Rosetta tilts her head. "I mean, I could try."
  114. Sep 08 21:20:20 »» Genevieve sets the sword to the ground and leans to the door, then knocks on it twice. "Genesis, are you in there?"
  115. Sep 08 21:21:15 »» Chase_Violet stays quiet. He considered this but didn't really imagine it'd work.
  116. Sep 08 21:23:29 <@zoofman> A really strong sensation washes over you - roll me Intuition.
  117. Sep 08 21:23:33 <@zoofman> this goes for all 3 of you
  118. Sep 08 21:23:34 <Chase_Violet> 6d6+6
  119. Sep 08 21:23:35 <CritSenpai> 6d6+6: 22 [6d6=3,3,3,5,1,1]
  120. Sep 08 21:24:07 <Rosetta> 1d6-1

  123. Sep 08 21:24:37 <CritSenpai> 2d6+1: 6 [2d6=3,2]
  124. Sep 08 21:25:33 <@zoofman> Chase, you know when you were really young and upset about something, and you'd purposely pout around the house in an exaggerated way to try to get someone to ask you what was wrong so you could vent?
  125. Sep 08 21:25:37 <@zoofman> It's a lot like that.
  126. Sep 08 21:26:53 <@zoofman> Rosetta and Gen, it feels...sorta passive aggressive?
  127. Sep 08 21:27:29 <Chase_Violet> He considers a moment. "Ask her if she's okay. " he whispers. "I'm getting the feeling she wants to say something. Maybe not something nice, though."
  128. Sep 08 21:27:51 <Genevieve> "You alright in there?" She cringes a little. "Want to talk about it?"
  129. Sep 08 21:29:33 <@zoofman> The cylindrical lock that's floating in front of you begins to turn and click on its own. Oya visibly deflates by the second as this happens. She almost returns herself to her Ball out of frustration, but seems to remember that'd end hilariously bad for you at the last moment.
  130. Sep 08 21:30:13 <Rosetta> "I can't believe this might be working." Rosetta says really quietly.
  131. Sep 08 21:30:46 <Chase_Violet> "Thanks, Oya." he whispers to her. "You're still our ray of hope, y'know."
  132. Sep 08 21:31:22 <Genevieve> "Man, at that age, I'd want people to talk to me too."
  133. Sep 08 21:34:36 <@zoofman> The doors creek open, and a pink fog bellows out - flowing over and around Oya's barrier. If you were wondering where ground 0 of this effect really was, well, all doubt is cast away now.
  134. Sep 08 21:35:48 »» Rosetta peeks her head in and takes a good look around.
  135. Sep 08 21:35:54 <@zoofman> The throne room is very much what you'd expect - several marble pillars on either side with engravings of ancient battles and acts of valor, a red carpet leading to the throne, countless banners and flags and coats of arms hanging from the cieling. While you imagine the room always had a red and white theme...it's been, well, stained pink and red.
  136. Sep 08 21:36:52 <Chase_Violet> He heads in, taking a look at the walls.
  137. Sep 08 21:38:10 <@zoofman> The throne has a very un-European theme to it - you wouldn't be surprised if it was looted right from an ancient set of ruins in Mexinova. It has many sharp corners, is rather boxy, no cushens, and has a lot of skulls carved into it.
  138. Sep 08 21:39:34 <Genevieve> "Is that the original throne? Kinda spooky."
  139. Sep 08 21:39:44 <@zoofman> Sitting upon it, in a regal gown of pinks, whites, and reds, sitsa girl Gen and Rosetta certainly remember. She looks like she could pass as Gen's younger sibling to you, Chase. Her blond hair is styled with pink ribbons into two conic shapes, with the rest flowing down behind her, and a curl in the front. like this. http://safebooru.org/index.php?page=post&s=view&id=5125
  140. Sep 08 21:39:52 »» zoofman has changed the topic to: http://listenonrepeat.com/watch/?v=I-LL0Kpba3Q#Umineko_no_Naku_Koro_ni_Chiru_BGM_-_%E7%AC%91%E3%81%BF%E4%BA%A1%E3%81%8D%E3%82%BD%E3%83%AF%E3%83%AC
  141. Sep 08 21:39:55 <Chase_Violet> "Piratey." he mentions, concerning the throne.
  142. Sep 08 21:40:50 »» Rosetta walks in behind the others. "Why all the skulls?"
  143. Sep 08 21:41:29 <@zoofman> "Technically, I think the original was a bunch of wine barrels they tied together, sorta like a pizza box chair for pirates. The Queen apparantly looted that one herself from - you know I should probably shush," Oya says.
  144. Sep 08 21:42:16 »» Chase_Violet just nods. "History lesson later."
  145. Sep 08 21:42:30 »» Chase_Violet turns his attention towards Genesis.
  146. Sep 08 21:42:54 <Genevieve> "Thanks for letting us in. What, uh, what's going on?"
  147. Sep 08 21:52:56 <@zoofman> Genesis crosses her arms and hisses, "This was all your fault. After you kidnapped me, Big Sister was never the same. She made me leave home for someplace...dark, dreary, scary. Away from my other siblings, and surrounded by unfamiliar children who practically worshipped me. I didn't know, still don't know how to respond to them - they are...so very different from me; I scarcely can be called human, can I? She kn
  148. Sep 08 21:52:56 <@zoofman> ew how I felt, do feel, and that I knew she had been dishonest with me. So she avoided me, and left me there...for months, until they finally decided to move me yet again. The metal ship was much closer to home, I think. I was just getting used to it, when you made Big Sister disapear...and I was pushed away yet again."
  149. Sep 08 21:55:41 <@zoofman> "At least now I understand other life forms well enough - enough to make them as loyal as the machines I miss so. I wonder what shields you from it," She tilts her head.
  150. Sep 08 21:56:01 <Chase_Violet> 6d6+6 Other siblings? Intuition.
  151. Sep 08 21:56:01 <CritSenpai> Other siblings? Intuition.: 29 [6d6=6,2,5,3,4,3]
  152. Sep 08 21:56:37 <@zoofman> Rosetta and Genevieve might not have conveyed it quite that way, but they did tell her she's a symbiant for a LOT of Mewtwos.
  153. Sep 08 21:56:59 »» Rosetta gives the others a look of 'oh god I have no idea what do'. "Um, hey, you know, your big sis is actually doing fine. I think we can figure out some sorta understanding here." She gives the others the look again and seems hesitant to take the lead here.
  154. Sep 08 21:58:13 <Genevieve> "I know this whole thing hasn't been fair to you, or to Jennifer. I don't want to tell you what to do without asking what YOU want to have happen here."
  155. Sep 08 21:58:18 <Chase_Violet> "If we had it our way, you and you family -could- live in peace, away from all of this." he gestures around the room. "Your sis moved you because she was afraid for you, but we never intended to hurt you. "
  156. Sep 08 22:02:45 <@zoofman> Her eyes glaze across Chase. "You speak what you believe to be truths, but is it fact?" The mist in the room kicks up, twirling around you like a cyclone, but instead of the sound of swirling wind, you hear some of Gen's slips of the tounge over the past few months where she mentioned regretting not killing Genesis when she had the chance, or her intent to kill Jennifer.
  157. Sep 08 22:03:05 <@zoofman> Gen, Symbolsight's kicking in - she's got Fact and Fiction written all over her.
  158. Sep 08 22:03:43 <@zoofman> The wind dies down again to a simple, floating mist.
  159. Sep 08 22:05:20 <Chase_Violet> "...People can be weak at times, it's true. I can't condone what she said back then. But I know Genevieve is better than that. I think that's something you -don't- understand about people. They're complicated, not simple machines. Hell, even those robots nowadays are more than just simple machines. We're not perfect organisms. But we can learn, we can grow, we can regret our
  160. Sep 08 22:05:20 <Chase_Violet> decisions. And we can try to be better than we were."
  161. Sep 08 22:06:15 <Genevieve> "I'm allowed to have a change of heart. Your sister did, too. You're not the only one with a divine cause here - I'd be a pretty shit High Priestess if I didn't give Love the reigns."
  162. Sep 08 22:11:37 -Notice- {from Global} [guu] There will be a guaranteed 1st prize winner in the upcoming 500th drawing of VIzon. Never heard of VIzon? http://s.rizon.net/VIzon
  163. Sep 08 22:12:37 <@zoofman> "And what am I supposed to feel? I was born, and raised, for the sole moment when I'd always thought to be facts about this world, to be complete fabrications. And that people, even adults, even my Sister, the Dandyman, and the others The Banisher had chosen...they -prefer- those fictions to reality. If told them enough times, they even begin to accempt them as fact. The whimical nature of humanity, and Pokemon ali
  164. Sep 08 22:12:37 <@zoofman> ke...you are right, its not perfect, but it is profound. And I've been entrusted with the power to blend those lines as I see fit..."
  165. Sep 08 22:13:32 <@zoofman> "...Despite this gift, I know not what do with it. Or why to use it. It's frustrating."
  166. Sep 08 22:14:10 <Rosetta> "But you wanna use it for something you choose, yeah? Not something that someone like the Banisher decides for you."
  167. Sep 08 22:14:15 <Chase_Violet> "It's definitely a heavy burden. I'm... sorry this all got put on you, that you've been treated this way. I don't know if there's an easy answer to that."
  168. Sep 08 22:14:35 <Chase_Violet> "But a hasty answer is definitely not going to help anyone."
  169. Sep 08 22:17:25 <Genevieve> "There isn't one. But we know that Bondye has accepted both you and the Fairies here. That's Fact." She shrugs. "I think he's willing to let you figure things out, but Banisher is going to have Dandy rip out your spark if you don't play along to his Fiction."
  170. Sep 08 22:17:32 <Chase_Violet> "Fact and Fiction... Sometimes, telling oneself a lie can be a lot easier than accepting the truth. But the truth doesn't have to be a harsh thing, if it's brought in the right way, with the right mindset."
  171. Sep 08 22:24:32 <@zoofman> Something Gen said really seems to resonate with her, along with the tail end of Chase's spiel. She quivers, like, well, a scared child. "Is this what they call irony? Even after all this...I'm probably less free than I've ever been. My position of power is only a Fact if others approve of it. It's a fictitious idea."
  172. Sep 08 22:27:13 <Rosetta> "I dunno much 'bout literature, but I'd think of it as...an opportunity? I mean, shit, it's already something that we're here and can talk this out, yeah? If you focus too much on how restricted you are, you miss what room you -do- have to make a choice here. Or something like that." Rosetta tilts her head.
  173. Sep 08 22:28:38 <Rosetta> "If Banisher had it all his way, Dandyman would be here trying to slice us up, and there would never've been a chance for you to even think about this. I don't think this fiction's done being written yet."
  174. Sep 08 22:28:48 <Chase_Violet> "The Banisher is the real cage, here. ..We'll figure out a way to free you, Genesis. And then... we'll see what we can do to help."
  175. Sep 08 22:29:16 »» Genevieve nods. "And you do have a choice. Really, you're free to do whatever you like, I don't think even the Banisher can force you to do anything, it's more that you're in danger than in prison."
  176. Sep 08 22:30:11 <Chase_Violet> He thinks on that a bit.
  177. Sep 08 22:31:58 <Genevieve> "So, take some time to think. I am going to ask that you please pull back your control field, though. Seems a little unncessary with everyone out of the palace, right?"
  178. Sep 08 22:33:26 <@zoofman> She twirls the back of her hair with a finger, thinking aloud. "An opportunity...well, he can't call out to me here. It's been quiet. I'm not sure why. I was afraid to lower it, because he might be able to again."
  179. Sep 08 22:33:46 <@zoofman> "I'm sure he'll send others after me, though..."
  180. Sep 08 22:35:15 <Genevieve> "That's sort of why we're here."
  181. Sep 08 22:35:29 »» Rosetta nods along.
  182. Sep 08 22:35:43 <Chase_Violet> "So, it works against the Banisher too, and not just the other legendaries. Shango seems to think Dandyman is coming, tonight, so... Seems like that's when it'll be happening. Considering what we learned about his dolls, though... I can't really help but worry."
  183. Sep 08 22:36:04 <@zoofman> She bites her bottom lip. "Would just this room be okay? I won't make dolls out of people who walk in it, even...just...keep the door locked until its over."
  184. Sep 08 22:36:17 <Genevieve> "If Banisher can't get through the field, then maybe Dandy can't jump around inside it either if he's relying on Banisher."
  185. Sep 08 22:36:28 <Chase_Violet> "That sounds like it'd be okay..."
  186. Sep 08 22:37:06 <Genevieve> "And if that's the case, we need to find one defensible room and get ready to rumble and make sure everyone else is out of his way."
  187. Sep 08 22:37:08 <Rosetta> "Yeah, that sounds shiny. If you can have the field without the control, it might even be okay leaving it through the palace if you think it'll help keep the Banisher's goons out."
  188. Sep 08 22:37:17 <@zoofman> Oya hrms. "I think that's part of why he wanted an Usurper to nom down as many Legendaries that specialize in, well, disarming Legendaries, as he could."
  189. Sep 08 22:37:40 <Chase_Violet> "You do make a pretty good point, Oya."
  190. Sep 08 22:38:17 <Genevieve> "Genesis, can you get selective at all? Can you let the other Outer Gods tune in here while still blocking the goat?"
  191. Sep 08 22:40:19 <@zoofman> "Do I have to? I've heard they are really scary..."
  192. Sep 08 22:41:13 <Chase_Violet> "I was actually going to suggest you try and talk to them, sometime... Honestly, a couple of them are a little intimidating, but a number of them are pretty goofy or fun-loving and are pretty cool to hang around."
  193. Sep 08 22:41:17 <Genevieve> "They're mostly a bunch of jerks and losers, but if we want them to be able to help, they need to be able to see in here."
  194. Sep 08 22:41:40 <Genevieve> "And, well, you're basically one of them at the moment."
  195. Sep 08 22:41:48 <Rosetta> "How about you let in enough for one or two of them to chat with you, and then you can decide?"
  196. Sep 08 22:41:48 <Genevieve> "Not a jerk or a loser, an Outer God."
  197. Sep 08 22:41:51 <Chase_Violet> "More or less, I guess. It's hard to tell."
  198. Sep 08 22:42:08 <Chase_Violet> He comments about the outer god thing.
  199. Sep 08 22:44:08 <@zoofman> Well Gen just ruled out like, 80% of them.
  200. Sep 08 22:44:20 <@zoofman> Good news is there's some good canidates, too.
  201. Sep 08 22:44:28 <Genevieve> "Oh, Shiva! She's been in this exact same position!"
  202. Sep 08 22:45:05 <@zoofman> Shiva or The Nameless would probably be the most appropriate - one being more big sisterish, the other obviously a mother figure.
  203. Sep 08 22:45:22 <Chase_Violet> "Yeah, she can probably relate to you a bit. There's also the Unfeeling, and while he's not a very... sociable guy, maybe he'd be a little more relatable if you're used to talking with robots?"
  204. Sep 08 22:45:40 <Chase_Violet> "Maybe not though, that guy is kind of weird."
  205. Sep 08 22:45:58 <@zoofman> "Like...what aspects would I have to...permit?" It's clear she's not sure how to ask this.
  206. Sep 08 22:46:14 <Chase_Violet> "Shiva? Verve and Rebellion."
  207. Sep 08 22:47:14 <Rosetta> "I was thinking of just calling up the Nameless for a chat. Freedom and Inconsequence, by the way." Rosetta taps at her gem. "But yeah, Shiva would be good too."
  208. Sep 08 22:48:23 <@zoofman> Oya butts in, "We'd have to go find Alice wouldn't we? Probably wouldn't be hard."
  209. Sep 08 22:49:16 »» Rosetta hops to face Oya. "Yeah, so maybe in the meantime I could call up the Nameless while someone does that?"
  210. Sep 08 22:49:50 »» Chase_Violet nods. "Let's go grab Alice, then."
  211. Sep 08 22:49:56 <Rosetta> "I mean, if it's about freedom and making your own choices...that's sorta her thing, yeah?"
  212. Sep 08 22:50:06 <Chase_Violet> "Yeah, I get you."
  213. Sep 08 22:50:22 <Chase_Violet> "They're probably the perfect two to talk with her."
  214. Sep 08 22:50:51 <Chase_Violet> Granted, Truth and Bliss have some heavy relationships with Fact and Fiction but he's not really sure how the 1NO would relate to her as a person. Probably badly.
  215. Sep 08 22:51:14 <@zoofman> Chase, he's a 2spooky womanizer
  216. Sep 08 22:51:17 <@zoofman> she's like, 10
  217. Sep 08 22:51:21 <Chase_Violet> Yep, badly.
  218. Sep 08 22:51:25 <@zoofman> or hell, younger than that
  219. Sep 08 22:51:27 <Genevieve> "Well, we can't really go get Alice and have a phonecall. Mind control field."
  220. Sep 08 22:52:00 <Chase_Violet> She's something like 5 if you take the visiwa timeline absolutely seriously but >genetic experiments
  221. Sep 08 22:52:19 <Chase_Violet> "Well, either way."
  222. Sep 08 22:52:31 <@zoofman> Genesis shuffles around in her chair, looking uncomfortable, but the mist seems to, well, look less toxic to you, and Rosetta's necklace starts to glow again.
  223. Sep 08 22:53:36 »» Rosetta taps at the gem. "Heya Nameless, there's someone I'd like you to talk to."
  224. Sep 08 22:53:48 <Genevieve> "Alright, let's go get Alice while this is going on then." She strolls back on to the door.
  225. Sep 08 22:55:50 <@zoofman> Gen strolls out of Oya's bubble...just fine, so Oya just drops it. "Huh, she wasn't kidding." She floats along after Gen, though.
  226. Sep 08 22:55:59 »» Chase_Violet follows Gen, then!
  227. Sep 08 22:57:08 <@zoofman> The mist in the room swirls again, taking on the visage of a middle aged woman. This seems to spook Genesis out for a moment, until the figure speaks with a comforting voice, "Shhhhh. Relax, Child. It's alright."
  228. Sep 08 22:57:21 <@zoofman> The figure gives Rosetta a look, questioning if she really wants to stay and listen.
  229. Sep 08 22:57:36 <Rosetta> "Uh, I can step outside if you'd like."
  230. Sep 08 22:58:39 <@zoofman> Gen and Chase, finding Alice is, well, sorta easy, even without just texting here 'aye bby where r u'
  231. Sep 08 22:59:46 <@zoofman> She's overseeing a bunch of Bug Pokemon set up a concert stage over in a park not far from the Palace.
  232. Sep 08 22:59:56 <@zoofman> Also - its getting PRETTY close to Dusk.
  233. Sep 08 23:00:28 <Chase_Violet> "Yo! Alice. What's the gig? Shiva-powered morale booster?"
  234. Sep 08 23:01:25 <@zoofman> She turns and shouts back, "Hey Chase! Ima go full Macross on these Skull Kid mother fuckers! Or at least I hope that actually works like it did in that show Anna made me watch."
  235. Sep 08 23:02:20 <Chase_Violet> "Hey, you go right ahead with that. You succeed at none of the attempts you don't make, right? Wish I could join you too but it's looking like we'll be frontlines. Can we borrow you a bit, though?"
  236. Sep 08 23:03:24 <@zoofman> "I'm afraid of what the worker Beedrills will do without a Queen to watch over em...but eh fuck it," She jumps the fence and jogs over. "What's up?"
  237. Sep 08 23:04:00 <Genevieve> "We need you to talk to a little girl about to become an Outer God after a lifetime of manipulation and deceit."
  238. Sep 08 23:04:08 <Genevieve> "Also she's a second generation clone of me."
  239. Sep 08 23:04:49 <Chase_Violet> "Yeah... we managed to get into the throne room without a fight, but the poor girl's a bit confused about herself. We thought you and Shiva could help a bit. Rose is hanging around letting her talk tot he Nameless at the moment."
  240. Sep 08 23:06:20 <@zoofman> Alice's grin hangs there as she digests that. "Do you mean me..?" She points at herself, then picks up her necklace and shakes it. "Or...me?"
  241. Sep 08 23:06:43 <Genevieve> "I think both are pretty qualified."
  242. Sep 08 23:07:59 <@zoofman> "I don't think either of us would mind, just, uh, dayum, that's what was in there?"
  243. Sep 08 23:09:35 <@zoofman> "I'll head in and see what we can do, I guess. Sounds like you guys defused the worst of it."
  244. Sep 08 23:10:40 <Chase_Violet> He nods. "Yeah, the Banisher just threw a scared and very powerful little girl into the middle of a legendary's home domain and probably assumed shit would happen."
  245. Sep 08 23:10:57 <Chase_Violet> "And it kind of did, but... yeah."
  246. Sep 08 23:11:38 <Genevieve> "So far I think he's vastly underestimated our ability to solve things without violence."
  247. Sep 08 23:11:53 <@zoofman> "Eeeesh. And to think all you'll have to deal with is terrorist kids and the Hitlerball." Seems the name caught on.
  248. Sep 08 23:11:57 <Genevieve> "I mean, his world is full of blood thirsty murder fairies."
  249. Sep 08 23:12:19 <Genevieve> "And your dad, if he shows up."
  250. Sep 08 23:13:14 <Chase_Violet> "There's honestly no telling what's going to happen tonight... but we're going to do what we can."
  251. Sep 08 23:13:26 <@zoofman> :|. Awkward. "Yeaaaah not really sure what to do about that...anyway, uh, I'll get to work on this." She hurries on in, and passes Rosetta on the way.
  252. Sep 08 23:13:36 <@zoofman> Rosetta, what ARE you doing, exactly?
  253. Sep 08 23:13:54 <Chase_Violet> "(Could have let that one slip a bit more gently)"
  254. Sep 08 23:14:12 <Chase_Violet> "Ah, well."
  255. Sep 08 23:14:26 <Rosetta> She's just awkwardly standing outside the room, twiddling her thumbs and keeping watch in case some of Banisher's other goons are still out and about in the palace somewhere.
  256. Sep 08 23:14:52 <Rosetta> There's a bit of wandering around and patrolling.
  257. Sep 08 23:15:05 »» Chase_Violet starts to... shit, what -are- they doing? Heading back to Genesis and waiting for the talks to be done? I'm not entirely sure what else they need to do there to be honest. Maybe they should be making plans.
  258. Sep 08 23:15:47 <Genevieve> "Maybe we should give Shango another try. There has to be a way to convince him that this isn't his show right now."
  259. Sep 08 23:17:38 <Chase_Violet> "Ehhh, I honestly think he's way too stubborn for that. Maybe he'll change his mind now that Genesis has calmed down but the others did mention Shango was sort of giving the city a bit of peace of mind, too... Not to mention him flying off would immediately let Dandy know something was up and possibly change his plans. "
  260. Sep 08 23:18:10 <Chase_Violet> "I think someone as set in his ways as that guy though is going to keep sitting right there whether he dies or not."
  261. Sep 08 23:18:19 <@zoofman> <I can hear you from up here. Her efforts to conceal herself were not exactly hers alone> a voice calls out to Gen, and you as well Chase.
  262. Sep 08 23:18:55 <Chase_Violet> "Well, shit. Hi, Shango."
  263. Sep 08 23:19:16 <@zoofman> <Would you prefer I roost upon her like a Empeleon and an egg?>
  264. Sep 08 23:19:49 <Chase_Violet> "If you're helping keep her safe from the Banisher then it probably -is- a good idea to stay..."
  265. Sep 08 23:19:50 <Genevieve> "No, I'd prefer you do something that doesn't make you a huge feathery target."
  266. Sep 08 23:20:12 <Genevieve> "But if you need to sit up there to block the Banisher then we'll figure something out."
  267. Sep 08 23:21:00 <@zoofman> <I would gladly be the target of their aggression, rather than her.>
  268. Sep 08 23:21:59 <Chase_Violet> "...ᵐᵃᶰ ᶦᵗ'ˢ ᵉᵐᵇᵃʳᵃˢˢᶦᶰᵍ ᵗᵒ ᵍᵉᵗ ᶜᵃᵘᵍʰᵗ ᵒᵘᵗ ᶫᶦᵏᵉ ᵗʰᵃᵗ... and yeah. I suppose I can agree with that. If we know they'll go for you instead of her, then we can plan our attack accordingly."
  269. Sep 08 23:23:15 <@zoofman> Rosetta hears some sniffling and bloohooing from a very young and confused girl as a dual personalitied Alice/Shiva and a misty figure of a Mom try to comfort and welcome Genesis.
  270. Sep 08 23:23:58 »» Rosetta subconsciously starts extending her patrolling further and further away from the throne room.
  271. Sep 08 23:25:44 <Chase_Violet> "Let's go find Rose and figure out what the plan is, then."
  272. Sep 08 23:26:02 <@zoofman> Rosetta walks by a room that's set up like a museum section, filled with roped off rows of weapons of armor from ages past. From tribal spears and bows and mystical foci, to early firearms, swords, armors, and all sorts of alchemized stuff.
  273. Sep 08 23:27:02 <@zoofman> One of the odder exhibits is...just a stick. Like metallick sucker stick. A little sign in front of it reads 'The base of The Candy Hammer.'
  274. Sep 08 23:27:36 <Rosetta> "Whoa. I bet that'd have been useful for fighting dittos."
  275. Sep 08 23:28:18 »» Chase_Violet slips back into the palace.
  276. Sep 08 23:28:25 <@zoofman> Gen and Chase find Rosetta looking at this metal sucker stick.
  277. Sep 08 23:30:29 <Chase_Violet> "...What'd you find?"
  278. Sep 08 23:31:28 <Rosetta> "It's uh..." Rosetta just points at the little sign. "I wonder what happened to the actual hammer head. ...Did someone eat it?"
  279. Sep 08 23:32:19 <Chase_Violet> "Oh, the thing from Biggie Lils' book?"
  280. Sep 08 23:32:32 <Genevieve> "The Candy Hammer isn't real. What if it got wet?"
  281. Sep 08 23:33:01 <Chase_Violet> "Coulda been made of jawbreakers."
  282. Sep 08 23:33:08 <Rosetta> "Anyway," Rosetta hops around to face Gen and Chase. "You found Alice then?"
  283. Sep 08 23:33:16 <Chase_Violet> "Yeah, she should have come by already."
  284. Sep 08 23:33:48 <@zoofman> There's a little tale along with it, "As the story goes, in the time when our first and only Queen was still an Explorer herself, this weapon dealt the decisive blow in thwarting an ancient evil from taking a corperal form in our realm."
  285. Sep 08 23:33:49 <Chase_Violet> "Shango also uh, overheard us talking and responded. Apparently he's partly a reason that Genesis is shielded."
  286. Sep 08 23:34:23 <Rosetta> "Shiny. So I guess we gotta keep that in mind while preparing our defenses, huh?"
  287. Sep 08 23:34:26 <Chase_Violet> "Sooo, he's probably staying and we're likely going to take advantage of that."
  288. Sep 08 23:34:36 <Chase_Violet> "Yeah... was wondering if you had any ideas yourself."
  289. Sep 08 23:35:39 <Genevieve> "If the hammer WAS real," she seems stuck on this, "why would the Banisher come to a region with a history of sugar-based weaponry?"
  290. Sep 08 23:36:00 <Genevieve> "Land in Russia, they don't know how to make candy."
  291. Sep 08 23:37:24 <Chase_Violet> "Because the candy hammer is broken, obviously."
  292. Sep 08 23:37:28 <@zoofman> "She's got a point," Chimes in Oya.
  293. Sep 08 23:37:42 <Genevieve> "Yeah but we could just...fix it. Why don't we just fix it?"
  294. Sep 08 23:37:53 <Rosetta> "But would you really want to rule over Russia?"
  295. Sep 08 23:37:55 <Chase_Violet> "No time now. Wonder if anyone thought of that at some point."
  296. Sep 08 23:38:16 <Rosetta> "Maybe we could. You wanna see if Anna can do anything with this?"
  297. Sep 08 23:38:29 <Chase_Violet> "...well maybe we do have time..."
  298. Sep 08 23:38:35 »» Chase_Violet rubs his chin.
  299. Sep 08 23:38:35 <Genevieve> "We can run it past her."
  300. Sep 08 23:38:54 <Chase_Violet> "So, stealing a historical artifact to reweaponize it. I love being an Explorer sometimes."
  301. Sep 08 23:39:35 <Chase_Violet> "We're probably past the point of needing it for dittos but we could just rub it in his face."
  302. Sep 08 23:39:42 <@zoofman> "Just blame Husk when it's all said and done," Oya adds.
  303. Sep 08 23:41:14 <Genevieve> "I think he's got the Pyroar's share here."
  304. Sep 08 23:42:33 <Rosetta> "Is there anything else we can uh, reappropriate? I mean, I think they'd understand when we're sort of saving the world from evil space fairies." Rosetta hops around again and looks through the rest of the room.
  305. Sep 08 23:42:50 »» Chase_Violet noses around the room, too.
  306. Sep 08 23:43:00 <Rosetta> "Or I guess we ought to get back to planning?" Roseta hops again.
  307. Sep 08 23:44:40 <Genevieve> "Planning should be easy. We just need a layout of the palace to pick a battlefield."
  308. Sep 08 23:44:51 <@zoofman> Chase locates The Accordian of Unsung Horrors and The Charming Minstrel's Lucky Knickers.
  309. Sep 08 23:45:25 <Rosetta> "So we'll just ask Ben about that, yeah? He knows the palace well enough."
  310. Sep 08 23:49:31 <Chase_Violet> "...Somehow I don't think this is right."
  311. Sep 08 23:49:37 <Chase_Violet> "Hey, lemme ask y'all somethin'."
  312. Sep 08 23:49:44 <Chase_Violet> "If we just camp out inside the palace..."
  313. Sep 08 23:50:01 <Chase_Violet> "What's stopping Nina McHitlerball from just climbing or flying up directly to Shango?"
  314. Sep 08 23:50:21 <Chase_Violet> "Obviously it was more of an issue for that key cuz it was weighed down."
  315. Sep 08 23:50:35 <Genevieve> "Nothing. We should probably set up on the roof."
  316. Sep 08 23:50:47 <Chase_Violet> *Ninja
  317. Sep 08 23:51:36 <Rosetta> "That's gonna be a lot harder to defend. Can't we have Shango project an image up there and just duck down into the palace in avatar form or something?"
  318. Sep 08 23:54:43 <Genevieve> "Sure, if he'll agree to that."
  319. Sep 08 23:55:05 <Rosetta> "Let's go up and ask then."
  320. Sep 08 23:55:27 <Chase_Violet> "If we can get something like that arranged, then yeah. Maybe we can have a group down near the throne room to watch the door too."
  321. Sep 08 23:55:51 <Chase_Violet> "Wherever we end up holding up. Let's go talk to people."
  322. Sep 08 23:56:25 <Chase_Violet> "...Does Shango -have- an avatar?"
  323. Sep 08 23:56:45 <Chase_Violet> "I don't know if it's a matter of power or just an individual basis." he looks at Oya.
  324. Sep 08 23:59:14 <@zoofman> Oya looks around the room, "Huh, there isn't one in this room - if you hunt around I'm sure you'd find an old portrait of the Queen and him in his Avatar."
  325. Sep 08 23:59:21 <@zoofman> "But yes he totally does."
  326. Sep 08 23:59:45 <Chase_Violet> "Okay then, let's see what we can do..."

  328. Sep 09 00:07:44 <@zoofman> As you laid out your plans of attack and defense and collaborated with your allies and friends, night fell upon the city. It was quiet by the time the sun went down - the vast majority of the populace had quietly been led out of the city already. Rangers, Peacekeepers, Corsiars, Explorers and Vigilantes now roamed the streets, keeping eyes out for trouble. The entire city was on nerve - even Alice's lit stage (The B
  329. Sep 09 00:07:44 <@zoofman> eedrills actually did fuck up the lightning while she was away) did little to ease that.
  330. Sep 09 00:08:03 <@zoofman> You three, being near the Palace, didn't really hear till later how it all started.
  331. Sep 09 00:09:44 <@zoofman> They say a train just silently pulled into the train station on the far east side of the city...none of the Guards there even heard it approach until its brakes engaged and it crept to a halt - the security footage showed it looked like an old timey coal train with a very eerie sounding whistle, but based on what was found there later, it -had- to be some sort of illusion.
  332. Sep 09 00:14:51 <@zoofman> And as its doors opened, a black, miasmic mist rolled forth, engulfing all near it as it swept into the city streets - a cacophany of insane laughter from adults and children alike. As it spread into the streets, buildings crashed and burned; things were falling from the heavens. Drop pods, it seems, as The Banisher's full offense began. Also from the sky, came large, sickenly bloated Togekiss - each the size of a b
  333. Sep 09 00:14:51 <@zoofman> limp. From their spots, they bled what you could only guess were dolls into the city streets.
  334. Sep 09 00:15:27 <@zoofman> You stood your ground as a creeping death approached the Palace. TBC! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJPM-XRm5Uc
  335. Sep 09 00:18:01 <@zoofman> +4 TEXP and we'll say, 500 Poke Exp for today.
