Chloe:

Sophia :
We meet up at the Rise I guess :V

Skatetsu:
Chloe pls

Jetlag:
I went off with Karaz to make sure he didn't get killed

Jetlag:
I think you were gonna work on the next mission in between the sessions

Jetlag:
i doubt you did
tirkaroKujo:
Didn't you just wanna do that off-screen anyway

Jetlag:
probably

Jetlag:
I thought we were going to
tirkaroKujo:
Then let's do that out of necessity

Jetlag:
before you said anything about it
tirkaroKujo:
Getting down to business, you all meet up back at the Rise, supposedly. It's now about 6 PM after all is said and done.
tirkaroKujo:
And my mic is muted

Chloe:
Chloe uses 40 Energy!

Manikin:
.

Sophia :
meep

Chloe:
Chloe concentrates and regains 130 Energy.

Skatetsu:
Skatetsu murmurs to himself as Chloe was grumping off however. "I feel a little weary right now. Your spirit requires utmost conservation to keep up a sound body!"

Jetlag:
Jetlag concentrates and regains 15 Energy.
Skatetsu: (( So my sister has friends over so I wont be able to talkskype for a while ))
Sophia : (( sounds like fun ))
Jetlag: (( where are we supposed to be anyway ))
Jetlag: (( I pity you ))
Skatetsu: (( Let's just go with the square in front of the big QWOP, where you all are at already ))

Sophia :
"Gaaah, still about $100 off from buying that new dress...Soon though..." >:

Karaz:
"Guuaaagh...I can't believe...how beat I am...how many points are we at anyway....let me check...*wheeze*..."

Chloe:
"Weary? From -what- exactly?" Chloe snaps back at her skates, "It's not like we did anything but waste time there..."

Manikin:
"So I could buy 27 virtual pets..."

Sophia :
"....Dude, really? The game's almost over. >_>" She sighs as she punches in another $2 for everyone's favorite daily reminder game: Mac-Pam.

Jetlag:
"Gehe...This is what it means to work your ass off...But with this, you guys don't have any worries, do ya? You should be all set now... I mean, you got through that shit. Nothing can kill you now."

Manikin:
Pac Mam?

Sophia :
this universe's Pac-Man

Manikin:
"Think of the army..."

Skatetsu:
"That's exactly the thing! You must exert energy to create more energy! That means putting in more and effort into your endeavors!"

Sophia :
where Pac-Man is just replaced with Little Mac

Manikin:
it's manny pacquiao

Skatetsu:
"(Basically, don't give up just yet. I have a feeling the road ahead of us is going to be even more difficult...)"

Chloe:
"What? You think I'm just dicking around out there?! Tchh...!" Chloe continues bickering back and forth with her skates as she tries on a new outfit to cover herself up.

Jetlag:
"Now to just hope my teammates don't kill me for th--...why are they here, of all places..." He mumbles to himself, before skating closer and yelling, "Ooooii! What gives? You guys going on a shopping spree without me?"

Sophia :
"Ohhh there you are! What took you so long? Chloe's, er, clothes kinda got torn off, so..."

Jetlag:
"Uh...huh. How on earth did th--you know what, I'm better off not knowing, I get the feeling. Just, I'm gonna hope you lent her something, instead of sending her shopping in the nude."

Digo:
"We're hittin' new recods baby! Yeah! We got this contest in the BAG! Actually, there's still a few more hours left in the day...may as well try and get another mission done! Should be easy as pie!"

Sophia :
"Errr, she kinda ran off on her own. At least she was covering herself."

Jetlag:
"Wow, and you tracked her down to the exact store? Creepy... Now, then...ARE there any other missions to do today? I got so wrapped up in everything, I've comp---..oh.. Right." Jet takes out his damned phone I forgot he had, "Forgot I got this back." What WAS that third mission

Sophia :
"This is like the only clothing store here, so it wasn't that hard." She checks her Smartphone for the missions.

Sophia :
>Festive Dress

Manikin:
can i stack messenger bags

Yuri:
No

Manikin:
but

Manikin:
logic...

Yuri:
Shhh

Yuri:
it is not here

Chloe:
Chloe sighs, "...it's hard to have much spirit for this stuff when you just feel like you're holding everyone back..."

Jetlag:
welcome to my life bitch

Jetlag:
i only get to feel useful when I'm beating the shit out of ice cream bear, jumping simple gaps that everyone else fails

Jetlag:
and helping -karaz-

Manikin:
chloe: CUT MY LIFE INTO PIECES

Yuri:
There's two new missions atop the other mission, (Which was "Dusty Desert Disruption"). These mission are called "One Night at Pizza Bear's: The REVENGE" and "Clown Around Comedy Hour"

Sophia :
look what you've done, Jetlag

Sophia :
And details on the two new ones

Manikin:
"I don't like any of these..."

Sophia :
"Eeeeeesh, yeah the Pizza Bear one especially kinda freaks me out..."

Jetlag:
one night in pizza bear

Jetlag:
...that was Chloe's last mission wasn't it

Jetlag:
you sick freak

Yuri:
Pizza Bear's: "They burned his body. They beat him to a pulp. But now this time, this unbearable bear isn't taking anyone's order anymore. This time...he'll take YOUR HEAD!"

Jetlag:
...WELL, I DIDN'T BURN THAT ONE.

Jetlag:
TECHNICALLY, I didn't beat him, either.

Jetlag:
Just threw him twenty feet in the air

Jetlag:
into a tree
Silver has connected.

Yuri:
Clown Around Comedy Hour: "It seems the circus is on hard times right now, so now it's time to prove that you can do better: Do you think you got the funny bones to make this tough crowd chuckle?"

Yuri:
I am nooooot

Yuri:
DDD: A mysterious creature has stolen priceless materials from the Suna Desert Town, mostly food and water, and it's up to you to track and beat the shit out of it. That's the gist of it

Sophia :
and the last one details that a mysterious creature has stolen priceless materials from the Suna Desert Town, mostly food and water, and it's up to you to track and beat the shit out of it.

Manikin:
"I'm down for the... Desert one."

Sophia :
"Uhhhh, we were planning to do that Desert Disrupting whatever thing together right? I'll probably do it."

Skatetsu:
"(The best solution in this case is to not feel that way. Easy as pie.)"

Jetlag:
"Well, uh...which one do you guys want to do? Hell, any of you. I've got time on my hands..."

Chloe:
Chloe steps out of the store, "Yeah, easier said than do-the hell are you lot doing here?"

Jetlag:
"I'm a little worried that the clown one isn't as innocuous as it's coming off...but if it is, I'd be screwed. Jokes can be added to the rather extensive pile of 'things I'm not good at'. Along with 'explaining why I'm in front of a metro clothes store'."

Karaz:
"As for us, I think we're on a roll right now. We should be able to handle this next misso- Oh, hey Chloe! We're just meetin' 'em all today, aren't we!"

Sophia :
"What are those guys doing behind you, anyway?"

Manikin:
"Sup."

Jetlag:
"I've been helping them out all day, ever since we completed our mission earlier. It..went surprisingly well."

Digo:
"Hey, hey now, I got jokes! I got jokes a plenty! I got so many jokes, I'm practically swimming in them!"

Chloe:
"Talking about the new missions then..?

Chloe:
"

Jetlag:
"I'd call it drowning, Digo. But, yeah. We've got a little time left...may as well put it to use. We don't need many more points, but they can't hurt, right?"

Sophia :
"Yeah, we are. Which one do you wanna do? I wanna kick more Disruption ass, so kinda wanna do that one."

Chloe:
"Soooooo...who's doing what then?"

Manikin:
"I'm going to the desert."

Sophia :
"I'm going too. If only because goddamnit I want my own Disruption already!" >:

Manikin:
"It's MINE."

Sophia :
"You have like 10 already."

Jetlag:
"Why don't we all go? Be a nice change of pace."

Manikin:
"That's a good way of saying three."
Silver:
get a ROOM you two (d)

Manikin:
lets fug

Sophia :
"Yeeahhh, let's. Would be nice to have the whole group together for the last day."
Sophia : (( MT, you there? ))
Silver:
WELP

Manikin:
ded
Silver:
GUESS WE STARTING TF4 DEN
Karaz: ((    ))

Manikin:
let's all cry.

Chloe:
"I'm fine with that then, rather that then...any of those other missions..."

Karaz:
"Well fine! It's time for us, however, to make our big comedy break! Uh, so what jokes do you have, Digo?"

Digo:
"Okay, okay, get this! What kind of tea is the hardest to swallow!?"

Karaz:
"I dunno! What kind fo tea IS the hardest to swallow?"
Silver:
I swear if he says teabag

Digo:
"Reality. :^| "

Karaz:
"That's depressing...."
Silver:
yep.

Sophia :
"Uhhhhh...I'll give you a B for effort..?"

Digo:
"Okay, okay I got more!"

Karaz:
"Okay, jeez, save it for the mission..."

Karaz:
Karaz skates off, while Digo trails behind.

Digo:
"Why do you love to play tennis!?"

Karaz:
"*Sigh* Fine, why DO I love to play tennis?"

Digo:
"Cuz it's the only love you'll get!"

Karaz:
"I WILL END YOU."

Jetlag:
"...I hope those guys'll be all right. At lest you can't lose points."

Sophia :
"...Ohhh I get it, because of 15 Love and st- Ehhh, maybe I'm thinking about that too hard."

Skatetsu:
"(Fighting disruptions, huh? I feel we must maintain caution...)"

Skatetsu:
and now u all wait while I get the map ready

Jetlag:
"Love is what it's called when you've got zero points, Sophie. So...what did you guys get up to? Ninjas, and...cloth damage. All I heard."
Manikin:
"Basically."

Sophia :
"Ohhh yeah! You should have seen me! I was slicing and dicing with my Katana, avoiding and blocking all their ninja bullshit, put that stupid ninja girl in her place and I was jamming it out with my electric guitar!"
Sophia whispers: also, can I unlock my Powah Ranjuh powers this mission : o

Manikin:
"I shot stuff."

Chloe:
"...I don't want to talk about it..."

Jetlag:
"...O...kay...and here I thought I was the one who went to entertain a little kid. Sounds like you did as much singing as me..."

Sophia :
"Hehe, I think my...what was it called? Soul Album I think finally awakened inside me...it felt so unreal...yet so cool!"

Chloe:
"Yeah, must be great..." Chloe sighs.

Jetlag:
"Riiiiight. Add some more to the looney bin, I guess. Though, at this point, I know what's going down, so it's all crazy. Just have to accept that until I wake up."

Terrance:
(There is still no map up yet, so don't bother.) As you make your way to the desert town, a lone man stands in the middle of the streets where a semi-large crowd is in a state of commotion. Upon asking, the man dusts his hat. "Oh, at least someone cares enough to accept our plea for help. This is bad..."

Terrance:
"Y'see, our food and water just got ransacked by a...mysterious creature. Went and gobbled it all up, you see. I don't even know how it happened..."

Sophia :
"Annnny idea what it looks like?"

Terrance:
ok now there is a map

Jetlag:
"Yeah, there wasn't a lot of info in the mission. What're we looking at, here?"
Tokens dropped onto map 'Highway' by player MarthTrinity (Player)
Manikin:
"Chupacabra?"

Manikin:
'

Terrance:
"Looked like, well...not sure how to explain it, really! Looked like a giant head and hands made entirely out of sand! It could shift and reform itself to its whim; We were basically powerless to stop it!"
Chloe: (( Welp. Let's jack in to fight DesertMan.EXE. ))

Terrance:
"And I tells ya, that ain't the kind of varmints we're used to huntin' round these parts. What fun is there in shootin' something too sandy to hit?"

Manikin:
everything in this town is weak to water
Jetlag: (( didn't Desertman.EXE freeze up when you hit him with Aqua-based powers ))

Chloe:
"Well that sounds...like the normal crazy shit that happens here, to be honest..."

Jetlag:
"...shoot. How are we supposed to...Ah, whatever. I guess we'll cross that bridge when we come to it. Cross it, or burn it."

Jetlag:
"It can't be any worse than steel, and we did that day one, right?"
Sophia :
"I dooon't suppose you have a clue or lead to where this creature is, do you?"

Sophia :
*

Terrance:
"Last we checked, the thing should still be bouncing around the highway. That's where it's been since...been making it a real pain for any cars or vehicles to transport any supplies through, so we're really strugglin' here..."

Chloe:
"Just dress yourself up like food, that sounds like it'd work."

Sophia :
"I nominate Manny!"

Chloe:
"That goes without saying."

Manikin:
"Sure."

Jetlag:
"We're gonna get yourself killed one of these days..."

Manikin:
"I'll be fiiiiiine."

Chloe:
"Or it might be best if we hopped a ride on an empty car or something like that, maybe it's like...I dunno, attracted to the vibrations? Wasn't that in a movie?"

Sophia :
"I dunno, I thought this thing was stopping cars from passing or something."

Sophia :
"Guess we'll find out when we get to the highway."

Chloe:
"Yeah, that's the point. We lure it out that way."

Jetlag:
"It may just be sitting there, too big to get around. Who knows, really? Maybe we could have two distractions. Or dress Manny up as a hamburger and throw him in a car. Manny, can you drive?"

Terrance:
"If it's a vehicle you need, I still got a rusted old clunker from the old days out in the back. It's a classic, but well, if it means gettin' our well being back, it's a worthy sacrifice to make..."

Stewart:
"Hey, that's MY car!"

Manikin:
"I'm a great driver!"

Terrance:
"A worthy sacrifice to make..."

Manikin:
"Let's see the car!"

Jetlag:
"That voice sounded oddly familiar...nah, couldn't be."

Chloe:
"I don't know how much I trust you on that one..."

Jetlag:
"Hey, honestly? If he crashes into it, whatever. All the same, really."

Manikin:
"I'll have you know I got my license after only three tries."
Silver:
and only crashed twice*

Sophia :
"You're not even riding on wheels right now. >:T"

Rusty Slugger:
The nice old man shows you the damn car; It's a nice car, but clearly shows sign of being worse for wear.

Chloe:
Chloe groans, "Aghhhhh, I don't like this..."

Manikin:
"That slugger sure is rusty."

Jetlag:
"Well...I never got my license. So, you know. I say let him have it."

Manikin:
Manny walks up and inspects the vehicle.

Jetlag:
"Not that I can't drive...just not, you know, legally. Or in anything I own."

Skatetsu:
"(Sometimes you just have to think out of the box...)" The car is big enough to fit 5 people

Manikin:
Manny jumps in driver's seat. "Let's go!" :D

Jetlag:
"So we're all going to ride with him? I...sorta wish you'd never suggested this plan, now."

Jetlag:
Jet rides on over to the car, yanks the door open, and hops in the passenger seat, "Well, you heard the Manny. Get in, we're going for the ride of our lives. Route 666, and all that..."

Chloe:
"On the road again...I guess..." Chloe climbs bed of the truck, "I swear to god if you really can't drive..."

Manikin:
surprise motherfuckers. *crashes*
Silver:
what a DICK

Jetlag:
"If he can crash a car in half a mile, even without any experience, then he's got a gift for it. We'll be fine...probably."

Sophia :
Sophia gets to the back. "I think I'd rather just ride along on my skates, but..."

Manikin:
"Nope, you're in this too." do i even have the keys

Jetlag:
I'LL JUST HOTWIRE THE DAMNED THING (D)

Terrance:
"Don't worry. I got the keys right here. Be sure to take good care of 'em."

Stewart:
"Th-those are MY keys!"

Terrance:
"Take goooood care of 'em..."

Jetlag:
damn nigga's clairvoyant

Jetlag:
manny didn't even say anything

Terrance:
No but it's common sense

Sophia :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G91ziPCo39k

Manikin:
Manny takes the keys, "Thanks, bud," Manny starts the car AND WE'RE OFF HAHAHAHA.

Sophia :
Actually no

Manikin:
are you gonna make me go through all the motions

Sophia :
clearly when Manny is driving, it'll just be exactly like that new FFXV trailer

Jetlag:
manny just immediately backs up over Terrance

Chloe:
And then puts it into drive and runs into Stewart's house.

Terrance:
So once you drive it, roll a pair of coordination checks.

Terrance:
DC20 and DC 25

Manikin:

Manikin:

Jetlag:

Rusty Slugger:
YAH YAH YAH YAH YAAAAAH! You take off from the town portion in a jiffy.

Rusty Slugger:
And then immediately crash into a wall. Reaction checks for all to make it out alive.

Jetlag:
"Okay! Maybe I was wrong! Slower, Manny! Brake! Walls are not pass-through!"

Sophia :
"Damnit Manny! I thought you got your license!"
Silver:
rip

Jetlag:
40 luck roll, nat 100 and Wile E. Coyote paints us a tunnel to drive through on the wall

Jetlag:

Chloe: (( Also saving the 23 ))

Sophia :
Sophia kicks the car door open and jumps the fuck outta there.

Jetlag:
"Manny, how did you even do that?!"

Rusty Slugger:
And then the car begins spinning out of control!

Rusty Slugger:
And then it goes upside down!

Rusty Slugger:
And then it explodes!

Manikin:
"THE CAR IS JANK." Manny jumps out of the car.

Rusty Slugger:
.and that's why this isn't a driving game

Jetlag:
"No, you're just a terrible driver!" it sorta is

Rusty Slugger:
And then it explodes again!

Jetlag:
we're just driving wheels insteado f...no that has wheels too (D)

Rusty Slugger:
and then....and then it explodes one more time cuz why not

Sophia :
"Well, whoever that car belonged to isn't going to be happy."

Chloe:
"Well...who -didn't- see that comin-REALLY?!"

Jetlag:
"...wow. Did he pack it with explosives? Manny! Why couldn't you crash it into the monster?"

Jetlag:
just be glad it wasn't a motorcycle

Jetlag:
we'd be launched 40 million light years away

Skatetsu:
"(There's a reason why these cars were discontinued years ago, you see...)"

Sophia :
"I uhh...guess we should go looking for it."

Manikin:
Manny walks up to the car, disappointed. "It wasn't my fault!"

Sophia :
It totally was

Sophia :
I should have driven the car, I have 5 Coordination

Rusty Slugger:
The remains of th explosive car slides down a little....
Silver:
and explodes.

Rusty Slugger:
and then a strange tentacle-like appendage of sand scans over it. It seems to be looking for something...

Sophia :
>Stewart when he finds out about the bad news

Sophia :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VOucGtR07so

Chloe:
"Well, seems like that plan worked, even if Manny almost killed us all."

Sophia :
"Looks like it. Wonder what it wants."

Jetlag:
"Well, fine. If it works, it works. Now how do we REALLY get its attention?"

Sophia :
"Manny, throw Gummy Worms at it"

Jetlag:
if it's attracted by vibrations I saw we have Sophia's fat ass jump up and down

Jetlag:
say*

Chloe:
"Or just have Manny start shooting at it willy nilly."

Manikin:
"Um...." Manny throws a pack of gummy worms at the sand thing.

Rusty Slugger:
The thing is still scanning around for stuff in the car. But it seems its efforts are for naugh- Ooh, gummies.

Rusty Slugger:
It immediately absorbs it through its sandy sandiness

Sophia :
"..Ooohhh right, I have this thing, don't I?" She brings out her Smartphone to attempt to scan it.

Chloe:
"What's worse is that I know you lunatics will try and catch this thing..."

Rusty Slugger:
The thing seems to not register as a proper disruption on your phone. Strange.

Sophia :
"Huh...nothing..." She puts it away for now.

Jetlag:
"If I get a chance, then sure, I suppose. What're you doing, Sophioa?"

Rusty Slugger:
It starts swiggity swooting up to you in an attempt to find the source fo the gummies.

Rusty Slugger:
*of the

Sophia :
"...Manny, the floor is yours!"

Manikin:
"Excuse me?"

Chloe:
Chloe backs the hell away from Manny.

Manikin:
Manny jumps back and goes SUPER SAIYAN.

Manikin:
Manikin uses 3 Energy!

Jetlag:
"Trying to run me over, Chloe? ...uh, nevermind, the hell's he doing?"

Manikin:
And he... throws a pack of gummies at it.

Rusty Slugger:
The tentacle absorbs those gummies as well. It is now only hungrier.

Chloe:
"Stop giving it gummies, dammit!"

Jetlag:
"...I remember something like that from a game...gummies that made you stronger. Or was it smarter?"

Chloe:
"...why the hell would gummy worms make you tougher? That shit makes no sense..." she says, turning to face the camera.

Jetlag:
maybe

Jetlag:
"Well, uh...what are we supposed to do about this? Just let it eat Manny?"

Chloe:
"Well, we can see how that goes and play it by ear?"

Rusty Slugger:
The tentacle gets close to Manny's leg. He's gonna need to step back to avoid getting all MGQed up in here.

Jetlag:
it's a tentacle of sand
Chloe: (( Sophia: *dives in the way* ))

Jetlag:
somehow I don't think it's on the same level
Sophia : (( nah ))

Manikin:
"Um..." Manny jumps back further, pulls out his gun, and fires at the tentacle!

Chloe:
"This can only end well."

Jetlag:
"Do we have the time to piss about with this little thing? Shouldn't we look for the source?"

Chloe:
Chloe ponders, "I assume the source is attached to this thing...so our best bet is to lure it out...actually...

Rusty Slugger:
"Skreeee!" The tentacle immediately screams upon getting shot, and dissolves into the ground.

Chloe:
Chloe briskly skates over here, "I don't want to be on the sand if that thing's beneath us!"

Rusty Slugger:
*Star Fox 64 boss entering music* This of course causes the ground to shake. Like an earthquke, in the a sense.

Sophia :
"UHhh, think you just made it mad..." Sophia does the same.

Jetlag:
welp time to fight Gershan

Manikin:
"I... Yeah."

Rusty Slugger:
and by that I just mean the first part of this

Rusty Slugger:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pjb9FbH783s

Jetlag:
"...Somehow, I don't think being ten feet from the sand is going to help, but it can't hurt." Jet just walks over to th--yep

Jetlag:
welp

Jetlag:
TPK

Sand Puppet:
*Grooooaaaan....* The sand monster rises from the ground, forming itself out of nearly all the sand in the desert.

Sophia :
hollly fuck

Jetlag:
"Ah...uh...Well. Ya think punching it in the face will work this time, too...?"

Chloe:
"...I think we may be a bit outmatched this time..."

Sand Puppet:
"Neeeeeed.....resooourceess...." The Sand Puppet raises its gigantic hand in anger!

Sophia :
"....WELL." She quickly brings out her Smartphone again to scan it now that it's fully revealed itself.
Silver:
rip in piece

Jetlag:
damn those gummies reall ydid make it smarter

Jetlag:
taught it the word 'resources'

Sand Puppet:
It still doesn't register as a proper disruption, this thing.

Sand Puppet:
I wonder why that is.

Sophia :
"Damnit!"

Chloe:
"Resources...?"

Skatetsu:
"(Stand back! I'm sensing a great energy, but it's not quite coming from this monster!)"

Manikin:
"Whoah..."

Chloe:
"Wait, what? You mean it's not coming from the ten story tall sand goliath?!"

Jetlag:
"Yeah, resources...Gonna guess we're tho--uh, what? Oh, right...you talk to yourself now... Great! So, anyone have any ideas?"

Skatetsu:
"(No...I get the feeling that it's being controlled from somewhere...)"

Sophia :
"...Runnnn?"

Jetlag:
"Cause the only weapons I've got are my gloves... And I'm not sure they count."

Chloe:
I'm not talking ot mysel-...well yeah, I sort of am by technicality but...!" She pauses for a moment, "Somewhere else? Can you pinpoint it?"

Sophia :
"Pinpoint what? Spit it out!"

Sand Puppet:
"Groooaaaaaaaahhh..." The puppet scratches its eye and sends a giant wave of sandhurdling at you from its hand!

Sand Puppet:
*there is a space there

Jetlag:
it's hurtling

Sand Puppet:
its a new word I made up

Sand Puppet:
it means fuckton of sand

Manikin:
"GUYS, WHAT DO WE DO?"

Jetlag:
dam
Silver:
you cry

Chloe:
"Skatetsu says that he thinks it's being controlled from somewhere else...! We might not need to fight -that- directly if we can take out whatever's controlling it!"

Sand Puppet:
It means its about to reaction roll

Sand Puppet:
(1, 3, 4, 7)

Jetlag:
"Huh? And what if the controller is insi---SHIT!" I'm guessing that means we roll too

Jetlag:
and all fail

Sophia :
(4, 6, 6, 6, 8)

Jetlag:
(0, 1, 1, 4, 8)
Chloe: (( Get out TWILT. ))

Sophia :

Manikin:

Sophia :
I'll save the 38

Sophia :
Use the 18

Chloe:

Sophia :

Jetlag:
AND THEN THE MONSTER SPENT 40 ENERGY.

Jetlag:
40 THOUSAND Energy.

Skatetsu:
"(First move out of the way! Second, well....I feel it coming from underground. Somewhere underground...)"

Chloe:
Chloe uses 1 Energy!
Chloe: (( Is it gonna use any energy? ))

Sand Puppet:

Chloe: (( o ))

Sophia :
It's for the initiative I think

Jetlag:

Chloe:
Chloe concentrates and regains 1 Energy.

Jetlag:
probably

Chloe:
Chloe concentrates and regains 1 Energy.

Jetlag:
you can highlight all and add everyone at once btw tirk

Jetlag:
"So! Let's get outta here! If there really is a puppetmaster, and they're for some erason NOT hiding in the giant indestructable monsters, we gotta find 'em!"

Jetlag:
-s

Chloe:
"Word on the feet has it that it's coming from somewhere underground...!"

Manikin:
"Do we, like, dig?"

Radio:
NOW PLAYING Sonic and the Secret Rings song that isn't Seven Rings in Hand https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zu9WqICk40Y
Silver:

Silver:
there are no other songs

Chloe:
Chloe glances around. (can I see the digging shit over there?)

Skatetsu:
"(Somehow, I feel like the easiest way to track down where it is...is through the puppet itself! At least, one should try to stun or distract it first...)" Yes, you can see all the digging equipment there.

Jetlag:
"Underground? Great! By which I mean, scheisse...these ain't mole mitts, you know."

Chloe:
"So weaken the puppet and the master has to put in more effort...making them easier to track, huh?"

Skatetsu:
"(Right now its signal is too weak for me to trail precisely. Getting its puppet distressed may be a good way to get it to reveal itself...)" And thus Skatetsu becomes reluctantly content in his role as the Omochao of this game.

Jetlag:
shut it Fi

Sand Puppet:
The Sand Puppet finishes scratching its eye, making it glow a bright red shine again, oh yes.

Chloe:
"So exactly what I just said, gotcha!" (We got zones for this faito?)

Sand Puppet:
i knew i was missing something

Jetlag:
"...so from what I can gather from listening in to Chloe's phone conversation...with herself, we gotta punch the giant sand monster and hope it works?"
Chloe has received initiative.

Manikin:
"Pretty... much?"

Sophia :
"Think we might need something bigger than a punch..."

Sand Puppet:
Sand puppet itself is 2 zones high.

Jetlag:
"I've got punches and a glowy ferret. That's all I'm good for here."
Chloe: (( So what would it require toooo....Palutena around that pole for some speed and then launch off that ramp...there to attack its arm? ))

Manikin:
"Who's going to man the digging equipment?"

Jetlag:
"Don't think I have enough paint to harden the thing..."

Manikin:
harden :}

Jetlag:
i'll kill you manny

Jetlag:

Chloe: (( Would it be agility to build up speedz? ))
Tokens dropped onto map 'Highway' by player Thrice (Player)

Lunablaze:
I uh just realized something

Lunablaze:
Night of Fire (3 Karma, 10 EN) Summons a Lunablaze to either retrieve or attack a target in reason from up to a zone away. Uses Willpower to attack and deal damage.

Lunablaze:
is that supposed to be 3 Style
Sand Puppet: (( it should be about an agility roll to do the first thing, followed by a strength roll to make it up to the top of his arm. ))

Lunablaze:
or does it just cost 3 Experience every time

Chloe:
(1, 2, 4, 8, 9, 9)
Chloe: (( DC 20, I assume? ))

Chloe:
Chloe uses 1 Energy!

Chloe:
Chloe gains 2 Style.

Sand Puppet:
3 karma means the karma required to unlock that ability
Lunablaze: (( It was DC19 just so you had to waste that Energy (D) ))

Chloe:
Chloe grabs onto the pole and does her best Palutena as she builds up speed! She then lets go and launches towards the ramp before her!
Thrice: (( ah ))

Chloe:
(1, 4, 5, 7, 9, 9)
Chloe: (( Another DC 20? ))
Thrice: (( 3 Karma and 10 Energy when I could probably just throw something is a little much, but hey the regular ability is fine anyway ))

Chloe:

Chloe:

Sand Puppet:
It's DC20 for the first roll and 25 for the second roll

Chloe:

As she launches off the ramp, Chloe pulls out her broadsword and takes a swipe at the behemoth's arm!

Chloe:

Sand Puppet:
The Sand Puppets arm is caught a little off-guard.

Sand Puppet:

Sand Puppet:
The hand is chopped off entirely by the fingers. But this leads to more of an expression of confusion rather than pain on its end.

"Can't say I expected much more than that but...at least that should distract it a bit."

Jetlag:
"...not wasting any time. If it worked before, it'll work again!" Jet slings his board away, jumps on, and...starts hopping up these ledges overe here that are sorta obscured by the giant sandguy but probably still there

Jetlag:
I have no idea what checks that would be, or how many. Strength, I'm guessing, since it's jumping
Jetlag: (( I'm going to guess he got eaten by his sister ))

Sand Puppet:
It's gonna require 2 DC25 str checks to hop up there like that.

Jetlag:
no problem *dies immediatel*

and I think tha twas only one move action, so - he's two Zones tall, there any way I can hop up to his first Zone from where I am?

Jetlag:
I'd move my token more but uh then I would be unable to tell where the hell I was in relation to anything

Sand Puppet:
Well, the hands of the sand puppet comprises of constantly flowing, but suprisingly solid, sand. You can probably jump up to it with a DC30 str check, but it requires constant grit checks to remain stable on it.

Jetlag:
well

Jetlag:
fuck

Jetlag:
here goes nothing (fedup) He leaps off the plateau and onto the monster's hands! Or fails to

Jetlag:

Jetlag:

Jetlag:
Anyway, that's all I can do

Sophia :
LEt's see. What would be the check for jumping, landing on it's head, and then stabbing him on the top of it?

Sand Puppet:
"Grooaaaaa..." The Sand Puppet is oblivious to your presence, preferring to focus on why the hell its left hand is crippled.
Sophia has received initiative.
Chloe: (( It's top is three zones away. ))

Sophia :
Riigghtttt

Sand Puppet:
It is indeed 3 zones away, but you can at least jump onto like...the bridge of its nose or something. Not sure if that's the best of ideas.

Sand Puppet:
Either way, it'd be a DC25 and a DC26 STR check.

Sophia :
Eesh then hold on

Sophia :
I'll jump to where Chloe is and land near his hand

Sophia :
and sure, I'll try Loudmouthing as a trick to get it's attention maybe

Sophia :
STR, Agility, Charisma?

"The weakspot being it's eyes...so just like every other video game boss. I'll see what I can do!"

Jetlag:
i can't even hear you from 30000 miles in the air

Jetlag:

Chloe:
Chloe takes a deep breath, "Alright...Skatetsu?"

Skatetsu:
"Hai! Let's get serious!"

Chloe:
"I think..no, we -can- do this! I just need you to help me!"

Skatetsu:
"You are wearing me and I am being worn by you! Together, we shall become one!" Skatetsu's frame begins to distort, and wrap around Chloe's legs, looking more and more edgy and metallic as it shapeshifts.

Manikin:
i know this yugioh card

Jetlag:
i'd say metalmorph but it's more like metal the edgehog

Chloe:
"Whoa...this is...this is pretty cool!" Chloe shoots up into the air with a burst of speed, "WHOA! AM...AM I FLYING?!"

Skatetsu:
Soon this reaches its natural conclusion: JET LEEEEGS! These black and red iron man legs have thrusters coming out from both its sides and the soles of its feet, allowing for maximum acceleration.

Jetlag:
that's not you pronounce my name

Skatetsu:
"I AM FLYING WITH THROUGH WITH ONLY SHEER SPIRIT BEING MY FUEL. NOW PIERCE THE SOUND BARRIER!"

Manikin:
did you just turn into metal sonic

Jetlag:

Chloe:
So I want to fly around himmmmmmmmmmmmm to distract him, then strike his eye. So agility first?

Skatetsu:
Agility first yes.

Skatetsu:
Doesn't have a precise DC for it, so just consider it a trick

Skatetsu:
if you fluff it properly

Chloe:
Chloe hovers in place for a moment, looking down at the ground far, far below her. "Hooooly shit...Skatetsu, we're flying! Like straight up flying!" She zooms forward, hold her arms at her side to try and build up some speed, "This is like...holy shit! This is the rush I've always been waiting for...! T-...thank you!" Rocketing past the behemoth's face, she waves to Jetlag with her free hand, "Jet...look! I-...I'm a jet, haha!"

It tries to swat at you a few times, but Skatetsu effortlessly zips past its now-reformed fingers.

Skatetsu:
"Together, we have utmost control over the situation! Now, it's time to make use of our momentum!"

Chloe:
Deftly dodging the beast's giant hands, Chloe darts straight in towards its left eye, "Right!"

Sand Puppet:

Sand Puppet:

Trying her absolute damndest to swing the massive blade while flying, Chloe swings away at the sand puppet's giant eye, shattering it to pieces!

Chloe:

Skatetsu:
"....That does it. I feel the puppeteer struggling now! I see the path! It's..."

Skatetsu:
"(And hopefully it'll stay that way. Now, let's be quick. Our battle is far from over...)"

Chloe:
"Right!" (although our turn is over)
Jetlag has received initiative.

Jetlag:
"Thought so! I am outta here! And, if I'm lucky, in there..." Jet rides the swirling sand, leaping off straight into the beastthing's mouth, and...hopefully landing on some solid tunnel thing and not sand-digestive acids.

Jetlag:

It requires a single DC20 grit check to ride the swirling sand. But you can enter the mouth fairly easy.

Jetlag:
ie how does this TPK start off

Sand Puppet:
Inside the beast is a long tunnel... its very dark, and murky...soon, its innards brighten, and you see a gigantic pool of food, water, and other junk! It's all situated off to the side, where a winding path lies. It seems this path leads to a cave where you see a ton of wires poking out, angrily swerving about in an attempt to gain control of the beast again.

Jetlag:
"What the hell...? Was this all some big machine? Screw it! If there's wires, cut 'em. Works for cars, should work for giant sand monsters. If I believe it'll work, it's gotta..." Jet kicks off, kicks over the random outcropping in his way,and beelines straight for the wires! To, uh...fuck. What do I even have to cut wires with

Jetlag:
Or is there anything particular over here

Jetlag:
besides the living wires

Sand Puppet:
There's not much to the place besides loads and loads of sand...and wires. From there, you can hear the source grumbling about something. It sounds like a bunch of animalistic screeches and clicking.

Chloe:
Chloe glances about at the area below her, "This is the -COOLEST-!" she shouts down to her friends below.

Sand Puppet:
Occasionally something in english can be heard. "WHY WON'T THIS THING WORK? WELL, IF YOU WANT SOMETHING DONE RIGHT..."

Jetlag:
"..This oughta get your attention, then." Jet grabs one of the wires an--fuck okay that plan's out i think

Jetlag:

Jetlag:
"...whoa. How the hell'd you get control of...anything?! How can you even operate mach--argh...Forget it. Apparently, I believe this is all possible, or it wouldn't be happening...You're a hell of a lot less frightening than your puppet thing. Shoulda stuck to that."

Sophia :
"Hmm...wonder what's in here..." She lands and skates along...and hey I'll grind on the wires! Being inspired by Chloe's determination, she shows no fear and rides towards the grab monster.

Chloe:

Jetlag:
"Ya think so? Well, then try m--or maybe you wno't get a chance."

Skatetsu:
"Now, while it's off guard! Hit it where it hurts!"

Chloe:
"GONNA SWING FOR EYES ALL DAY LONG!"

Sand Puppeteer:
"Kuh? Do you REALLY think you can escape my sight?" The puppeteers wires close in on Chloe!

Sand Puppeteer:
(3, 5, 5, 5, 6, 7)

Sand Puppeteer:
Sand Puppeteer uses 15 Energy!

Jetlag:
good lord

Chloe:
Chloe uses 16 Energy!
Chloe: (( So roll mah strength? ))

Sand Puppeteer:
"Kueegh!" You just barely manage to get past its storm of wires, and strike it right in the eye! Its entire body begins to crack from the impact of that move...

Sand Puppeteer:
Sand Puppeteer loses 1 hit points.

Jetlag:
mip

Chloe:
(0, 2, 3, 3, 4, 4, 6, 7, 7, 8)
Chloe: (( Roll my ten anyway o3o ))

Chloe:
"Did that work?" Chloe asks, hovering in place before the crabmonster.

Sand Puppeteer:
"Gruuuaagh, I will absolutely slay you all for that!" The cracked puppetter slams its claws down, sending wires needling at all of you!

Sand Puppeteer:
(1, 2, 5, 5, 6, 8)

Sand Puppeteer:
Sand Puppeteer uses 20 Energy!

Jetlag:
"Looks like it! A little, at least."

Jetlag:

Sophia :
"Crap...!" Can I activate my Platinum Track here

Sand Puppeteer:
You can and yes

Chloe:
Chloe loses 10 hit points.

Chloe:
Chloe uses 10 Energy!

Jetlag:
Then, sure, why not. I'll counter this shit. Jet grabs one of the wires out of the air, rips it free, and slashes at the thing's eye with it, going all Belmont style on this bitch! unless I fail utterly but I don't even think I can, so lel

Skatetsu:
"(Be aware; My power uses up your precious energy reserves. Be sure not to abuse it for too long...)"

Sophia :
"...Eh?!" For some reason, Sophia's wrist starts glowing, showing great energy and power and with that beautiful light. Once the shine is over, it reveals....some sort of wrist watch? "I...I remember this...this was a gift from..."

Jetlag:
(1, 3, 5, 7, 8)

Jetlag:
Gonna use my 30 Momentum

Chloe: (( What did he roll again? 28? ))

Jetlag:

Skatetsu:

Jetlag:

Sophia :
"..." Sophia knows exactly what to do. She activates her brand new Platinum Track by going, " "Let's go! Skater Force! Ranger form!"
Chloe: (( I'll roll to dodge. ))

Sophia :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJOCYzOwz8k

Chloe: (( Using momentum ))

Chloe:
Chloe uses 20 Energy!

Chloe:
Chloe concentrates and regains 2 Energy.

Sophia :
Dun dun duuuun! Sophia is transformed into the Pink Sk8er Force Ranger! "W-whoa! This is..." She has no time to think as attempts to Counter Attack the monster!

Sand Puppeteer:
"Guh!" The Puppeter's eye gets scratched again, before being blinded by sentai henshin!

Sophia :
Sophia loses 10 Style.

Sophia :
Sophia uses 10 Energy!

Sophia :
(0, 0, 2, 2, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, 7)

Manikin:

Sophia :
Sophia uses 20 Energy!

Chloe:
Chloe zips around the incoming wires, deftly dodging each as they come towards her, "Whoa, Soph henshin-a-go-go'd too!" She staggers a bit in mid-air, "Oof...! You weren't kidding about using up my energy...starting to hit me hard..."

Sophia :
Annnd it's prolly too late to roll Coordination to bring my katana out, ah whatever, I'll just axe kick it.

Sand Puppeteer:
Sand Puppeteer loses 1 hit points.

Sophia :
And sure I'll roll my damage roll

Jetlag:

Sand Puppeteer:

Sophia :
(0, 1, 2, 2, 3, 3, 8, 9, 9)

Sand Puppeteer:

Sophia :
Sophia down Bs with her signature Thunder Joltu Kicku! Only this time, actual thunder is coming out of it! "Take this, you over grown, freak!"

Jetlag:
"What in the hell is wrong with you people...why'm I the only one without one of these whacked-up super forms? Ah, whatever...I don't need nothing like that."

Sand Puppeteer:
"Who are you calling a FREEEEAAAAK!" SP shoots out its claw, intending to pierce at the senshi, but instead ends up getting a claw full of thunder force iv instead! It pierces through his claw, shattering it to pieces, and lands the final strike against its eye!

Sand Puppeteer:
Sand Puppeteer loses 1 hit points.

Jetlag:
and thus Manny was useless
Chloe: (( Good job Manny, you drove us here. ))

Sand Puppeteer:
"Can't...move...much longer..." Sand Puppeteer dizzily tips from side to side, and then finally topples to the ground...

Sophia :
"Shoot right...You're mine!" She aims a Virtual Pet Toy at it to catch it!

Manikin:
"Welp, thanks guys."

Jetlag:
Nope

Jetlag:
it's my turn first bitch

Sand Puppeteer:

Manikin loses 9 Style.

Chloe:
"Can't we do this shit later?!" Chloe sighs, "We need to get outta here, Skatetsu!"

Jetlag:
Jetlag loses 15 Style.

Sophia :
Sophia loses 4 Style.

Sand Puppeteer:

Sand Puppeteer:

Manikin:
It's cool!!!

Jetlag:
I don't need to live

Jetlag:
If I die I wake up

Jetlag:
But I'm pretty sure I won that contest

Chloe:
Chloe zooms off before everything goes to hell!

Skatetsu:
"Indeed! We make haste!"

Sophia :
"...Meh. Fine, keep your damn crab! Who needs it? >:"

Jetlag:
"Seein's I'm the only one who can use, me."

Manikin:
Manny looks up. "Yeah, you can have it."

Jetlag:
just how long does it take to absorb these things

Skatetsu:
This place is collapsing fast. Seems you'll need 2 DC25 agil or str or grit checks to make it out alive.

Jetlag:
it was like half a second before (sad)

Sophia :
Agility!

Sophia :
(0, 1, 1, 1, 3, 3, 4, 4, 9, 9)

Sophia :

Sophia :

Sophia :

Sand Puppeteer:
Then yes this games winner is jetlag

Jetlag:
I...think I got the Disruption, at least? That's worth more than my life
Chloe: (( And mine's plus 4 to speed checks. ))
Jetlag: (( I guess my Platinum involves an actual attack ))

Sand Puppeteer:
The Sand Puppeteer begins to swirl out and about, and finally reforms itself as a cute little on-screen sprite!

Sand Puppeteer:
I hope u are satisfied w/ life

Sand Puppeteer:
And u still need to check Chloe

Jetlag:
"Hahaha...I wonder what you'll do--Shit! Shit shit shit! I gotta get outta here!" Well, if Strength is an option

Manikin:
MY TRACK IS +1 TO LIKE TWO THINGS.

Chloe:
(0, 0, 4, 4, 4, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9)
Chloe: (( I think I make it. ))

Sand Puppeteer:

Sand Puppeteer:

Chloe:
Chloe gains 5 Style.

Sophia :
"Geez, that was clo- Well, actually no, that was pretty easy! Wow...I always loved watching Dynamic Rangers when I was a kid, but...this is awesome!"

Skatetsu:
Skatetsu BUSTS through the sand monster, leaving a giant gapaing hole that quickly re-forms because the damn thing is collapsing hard.

Jetlag:
Jetlag uses 7 Energy!

Jetlag:
Going to assume so

Skatetsu:
well obv

Chloe:
"Whoa!" Chloe touches down before the sand puppet, gracefully spinning in place as she descends. "So this is like...the coolest thing in the world and I've really never felt more alive but...it's sorta wearing me out for the time being...how do I turn this off?"

Jetlag:
Jet continues to crash through the sand fistfirst, thankful that his gloves can at least help his hands not be eroded away entirely, "God...damn...I shoulda thought that out more.."

Sand Puppet:
You, too, get to bust through the heavens like the manly man u are.

Skatetsu:
"I'll do the favors for you..." Skatetsu immediately turns back to normal anticlimactically with no warning.

Manikin:
Manny manages to eke out of the sand pit. He rolls out next to his team and ends up on his back.

Manikin:
"... I didn't even do anything."

Sophia :
"Hey, cheer up! You uh...drived us here!...and then proceeded to crash into a wall!"

Chloe:
For once, Chloe lands gracefully on her feet, "Huh, thanks for that!" She bends down and brushes the sand off her skates, "You really pulled through there for me...."

Manikin:
>drived

Sophia :
drove* whatever

Skatetsu:
"(When have I ever let anyone down. No, that's just not how these skates roll.)"

Sophia :
"Right...I should turn this off too...uh...Power Down!"

Chloe:
"...you're pushing it with those skate puns there." Chloe replies, smiling faintly.

Manikin:
"Yeah," Manny lets out a tired sigh. His body stops glowing and he returns back to his normal form. "What now?"

Sand Puppet:
The Sand Puppeteer slowly dissolves intoa giant miserable pile of sand...*insert sad SotC boss death song here*

Sand Puppet:
*Sand Puppet

Sophia :
And so she does. "Phew...that was fun! We should like, totally do that again sometime!"

Jetlag:
Jet surges out of the sandmonster, and hacks up a lungful of dune, "Ghah...turns out I was wrong. These really were mole mitts the whole damned time..." He looks around, "We all made it out in one piece? Gotta be a first."

Terrance:
And out from the tunnel runs the cowboy hatted wonder himself, holding a shotgun that he thankfully didn't need to use. "Well yee haw! Looks like you done did it! That sand glutton looks down for the count!"

Manikin:
"Sure is," Manny says, still laid out on the ground.

Jetlag:
did any of us even get hurt

Jetlag:
besides Chloe killing herself

Sophia :
Chloe took recoil from her tr-

Sophia :
then nu

Jetlag:
for reasons unknown
Chloe: (( My Platinum Track drains my life by ten each turn it's active. ))

Stewart:
"Yeah yeah, but who cares about that..." Stewart emerges from the shadows too.

Stewart:
"I just wanna see if my car is okay. Uh, where is my car exactly?"

Sophia :
"Yeah, we're the best!...Ohhhhh, you mean -that- car?" She points to the explosive mess.

Jetlag:
"..it sacrificed its life to aid our quest."

Stewart:
"What do you me-"

Stewart:
"...."

Stewart:
"http://youtu.be/BhYs4oIjFJQ?t=2m1s"

Stewart:
* http://youtu.be/BhYs4oIjFJQ?t=2m1s

Jetlag:
is it carl

Jetlag:
it better be carl

Chloe:
"..." Chloe quietly points at Manny, backing away slightly as she does.

Jetlag:
awwww
Chloe: (( WHO DID THIS TO MY FRICKIN' CAR?! ))

Jetlag:
"And uh...for the record, a lotta food and supplies n' all that were in there, too. I'm...not sure if they still are."

Manikin:
"It died."

Terrance:
"it sure did, and we'll all remember it and your sacrifice, uh, whoever you are."

Chloe:
"Well, they probably are....just gotta do a little digging..."

Terrance:
"All in there huh? Well that shouldn't be too hard. We got digging equipment all over the place...I'm sure the crew will understand!"

Jetlag:
"Yeah...So, I don't know about you guys, but I'm sorta...plastered with sand. I think I'm set to go jump in a lake, or something."

Sophia :
"Hahaha..." She smiles and turns on her Smartphone to Twat this.

Manikin:
"I'm so dead." Manny closes his eyes and falls asleep.

Sophia :
@PunkPrincessSk8er OMG Team X is the best! I went Dynamic Ranger and Chloe grew jet legs and kicked sand monster ass!

Skatetsu:
"(And I think you somehow got sand in me. I sure hate when that happens.)"

Chloe:
"Well there's sand everywhere, would be sorta hard not to...don't worry, we'll empty you out when we get back to the base."

Jetlag:
Ramiel Belmont doesn't even get a mention (sad) MAYBE IF I EVER GET MY TRACKS

Jetlag:
but we all know I won't be anywhere near you guys if I use them

Jetlag:
bc party split

Sophia :
Don't you mean Ramiel Smith

Jetlag:
That's Manny

Sophia :
we also have like 2 more hours before the session's over if we wanna do anything else

Skatetsu:
But will you have time to...hmm

Sophia :
pls
Chloe: (( What time is it in-game? ))
Jetlag: (( Well, we could do a mission or go do RP ))
Jetlag: (( Jet prolley wants to dive in a lake or other bathatory device, then go see Madame Voodoo ))

Skatetsu:
about 8:00 right now.

Terrance:
Terrance hands you all over 200 each for your troubles, and you get 500 points from this endeavor

Sophia :
: D

Terrance:
*$200

Sophia :

Manikin:

Jetlag:

Jetlag:
Jetlag concentrates and regains 56 Energy.

Chloe:

Sophia :
Sophia concentrates and regains 81 Energy.

Sophia :

Manikin:
Manikin loses 3 Style.

Jetlag:

Jetlag:

Jetlag:
Jetlag loses 1 Style.

Sophia :
"Kaahhh~! This is just the right amount of money I need for that dress I wanna buy!~"

Sophia :
"Allrighhhtttyyyyy! Whatcha guys wanna do next? Another mission? Go shopping? Chillax and eat?"~

Jetlag:
"Throwing hundreds of dollars at a dress, huh...just how many silver spoons did they have to drag outta your mouth when you were born..."

Chloe:
"I could go for a bath myself..got these new clothes and everything but haven't had a chance to wash up myself yet..."

Manikin:
"I just wanna sleeeeeeeeep."

Jetlag:
"I'm going to take a shower. Somewhere. Maybe get something for these cuts. Clawing your way out of a sand behemoth leaves it mark."

Sophia :
"Now that I think of it...Yeah, a bath would be nice. Eeesh, gotta get this sand off outta my skates too..."

Jetlag:
"Well, good luck finding one, is all I can say. It's not like we've got much in the way of utilities at the warehouse..."

Sophia :
Guess we could all go to hotsprings for some RP :V

Chloe:
"Uhh, there's a bathhouse in the city, Jet. We've been like...three times now."

Jetlag:
"Wha? That's a bathhouse? I thought that was a hot spring...and those definitely are not the same thing. Besides, I haven't been there."

Chloe:
"Well yeah, you're always off doin' other stuff."

Jetlag:
"Normally, I don't have the time for leisure...I only get by because I never stop working. Or that's how it used to be...glad to say, now, there's nothing stopping me from kicking back and doing nothing. So, why the hell not? If there's a bathhouse, let's get to it."

Chloe:
"Sounds good to me!"

Sophia :
"Wooo! Let's go!"

Manikin:
Manny jumps up on his feet. "YEAAAAAH!"
Tokens dropped onto map 'Waratel Hot Springs' by player MarthTrinity (Player)

Chloe:
Damn gurl, u got here fast.

Sophia :
Sooo we relax! "Ahhhh....it's been a while since I've been here~"
tirkaroKujo:
So you head over to the hot spring bathhouse place and its in the same condition you're usually used to. Not exactly an outstanding place, for sure. It seems there are others there to join you...awfully popular day for relaxation it seems.

Jetlag:
dunno if one person counts as others

Jetlag:
>Marcy is eating a sammich while in the bath

Jetlag:
what a fat bitch

Tatsuun:
"Gyaaaaah! Soo, soooo nice....aah man...today was such a pain in the ass...."

Chloe:
Chloe dresses down and places Skatetsu on the side, a safe distance from the water, after emptying him of sand.
Manikin:
Manny closes his eyes and sinks into the water. "Hey Jet... What's gonna happen tomorrow?"

Manikin:
.

Marcy:
"I-it's getting too crowded here..." Marcy sits on the side of the spring, holding a towel over her. She's a little self-conscious around others.

Chloe:
"Hey Marcy." Chloe sighs as she enters the water, "This sure is niiiiiiiiiice..."

Sophia :
>GrA

Sophia :
I'm so sorry

GrA:
"HELL YEAH! WE'RE BUSTIN' IN THIS PLACE! CAANOOONBAAAAAALLLL!"

Jetlag:
>Tatsuun

Jetlag:
you guys are fucked

Libby:
"Noo, doooon't...." Libby tucks into the water.

Jetlag:
or rather, electrocuted

Manikin:
is that a dude

Mono:
"Hey, hey! This is a traditional establishment here! Have some DAMN respect!"

Manikin:
"Oh my God..."

Manikin:
Manny sinks further into the water.
Chloe: (( Manny: Noooooooooo it's too gay in here. ))

Manikin:
dicksdicksdicks

GrA:
GrA rises from the water and spits a stream of water at Mono's face. "C'mon, loosen up a little!"

Sophia :
"Eeesh, sounds like the boys are having fun"

Mono:
Mono isn't amused at all.

Manikin:
Manny swims over to the wall.

Manikin:
"Heeeeeelp."

Chloe:
"Yeah, that voice sounds a bit too familar though..."

Manikin:
"This isn't relaxing D:"

Jetlag:
"Well, Manny, look at this way: it could have been Weatherup. But, damn, I really need to wash my clothes, too..."

Manikin:
"At least he could feed us..."

Tatsuun:
"Gueh...I don't think I've seen you fellas around these parts? Tell me, you look like you've been having a bunch of fun in the sand. I know the lake is fine and all, but it's not exactly a beach, you see!"

Sophia :
"What are you talking about Manny? You and GrA are like best friends!" She tries to contain herself from laughing.

Manikin:
"Uggrghrhgrghhhh..."

Scarf Cat:
"Nao...."

Jetlag:
Jet scans the room, before stopping on Libby, "Really, though, you guy---wait, aren't you... Nah...I gotta be mistaken."

Chloe:
"Cat."

Libby:
Libby rises out of the water. "Hmm? Oh hey. It's you from Minerva's place. Fancy meeting you here."

Sophia :
"Ahh, Catherine's here too.!" She waves at the cat before turning to the pink haired girl. "Yeeaah, just got finished with a mission. Sand monsters aren't exactly easy to deal with."

Chloe:
"Umm...Sophia, I don't think they're part of the game, they won't know what that means..."

Sophia :
"O-oh uh..."

Marcy:
"I'm used to it by now..."

Manikin:
"Who's Minerva?"

Sophia :
"We were...talking about a video game! Yeah, that's it! We then went to the beach to make it all realistic and stuff!"

GrA:
"Let's make that head shine, boy!" GrA gives his partner a noogie of epic proportions.

Sophia :
CHARISMA TO BS IT

Sophia :
(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 9)

Sophia :
Aw man

Mono:
Mono still isn't amused.

Sophia :
OH WAIT

Sophia :
I still have +1 from my Smartphone

Sophia :
(9)

Chloe:
"Man, the guys are so loud..."

Jetlag:
"A lady who runs a parts store in the sky. But...more importantly, you mean you, uh, are that...person from before? Coulda sworn... Uh, nevermind! It's nice to see you again!"

Tatsuun:
"Really:? What game exactly? I don't keep up with all the latest trends lately, see...officer duty is such a pain..."

Manikin:
"Were... you high?"

Libby:
"Sure is. I've been brushing up on my research on disruptions lately, you see..."

Sophia :
"Grant Rekt Auto 5 of course! There was cool ass hell Sand Monster level...and speaking of which..." She turns on her Smartphone to see what's habbining in Twatter

Libby:
"It's a fascinating field, of course. Sometimes it seems these creatures don't obey the laws of basic physics."
Silver is disconnected.

Jetlag:
"...Mono, you know, we won't argue if you want to hold him under till he stops moving. Anyway, uh...if you're with these guys, you've gotta be Libby, right? I gathered that much..the first one I saw was that phasing Disruption. Didja learn anything important about them?"

Catherim:
@BadBoyzIIFangirl84 I'm impressed just how popular my little sister is lately! Feels so good to have time to lie down today...

Jetlag:
keep her away from weatherup

Karaz:
@crowmasta Man, we KILLED it at the circus today! They were all rolling on the floor!

Sophia :
bullshiiiiitt

Chloe:
"Can't believe this week's almost over..."

Damaged:
@colorcolorcolor In pain. They were all rolling on the floor in pain.

Sophia :
I assume they were the type of people that would find Dr. Shrunk funny in Animal Crossing

Damaged:
@colorcolorcolor I'm not even sure how they did it...
Jetlag: (( Good thing we didn't go along ))

Weatherup:
@ChaoXian and here's my picture of me and Rita in the park, and me and Rita getting Ice Cream, and me and Rita beating up Pizza Bear again, oh man I wanna take care of her all day (´▽`ʃƪ)

Sophia :
Can I like

Sophia :
report Catherim to that Twat

Rita:
@owirjfl I R NOT GOOD AT PHON

Tatsuun:
"I personally prefer fighting games, like Pathfighter or Shiokaraiken myself. Don't have the attention span for open world games like those. Ah, but I didn't have time to play anything today! So much work to do...."

Tatsuun:
"I main Adel Zhen myself. He's apparently a little on the low tier side...but I make it work out well!"

Sophia :
"...This Weatherup guy is creepy as hell." She sighs and turns to the pink haired girl.

Sophia :
"Ohhh, Shiokaraiken was awesome! I mained Rosalinda there. Her kicks were so awesome and powerful!"

Chloe:
Chloe sighs and bites her lip, "I really, really don't want to go back after all this is done..."

Sophia :
"Azure was pretty fun too. The only type of ninja characters I like....god, I'll probably never forget that stupid girl."

Jetlag:
>her kicks

Jetlag:
But Al was the kickman (D)

Libby:
"Haaaah...see, they may be fascinating to look into, but the most of value I could ascertain was well...exactly -how- only certain people can see them!"

Libby:
"They're apparently made visible using an energy that resembles Soul. In fact, they're composed of material extremely similar to the type of energy you'd pick up in Soul residue. Perhaps they're the work of a Soul itself...."

Libby:
"Oh, do you even know what a Soul is? I must be going at a mile a minute here..."

Jetlag:
"...uh, I've never been into the whole 'zen' thing, but yeah, I get the concept of souls. But, if I had to guess, what you're really saying here is that you think some Soul Album is responsible for these monsters?"

Skatetsu:
"(It's best not to get too attatched to any one environment at a time. You never know just what may happen...)"

Sophia :
Turning to Chloe, "I...guess all good things come to an end eventually, huh?"

Chloe:
"I wouldn't know...not like good things ever happened to me back 'home' anyway..."

Libby:
"Yeah, yeah! Well, something similar to it. It's quite strange..."

Libby:
"What's more, I'm certain the reason we can even see these things in the first place is due to a slight bit of Soul embedded in all of us!"

Libby:
Libby holds out the glowing mark on the back of her hand reading "TEAM B." "It'd certainly explain this at least..."

Tatsuun:
"Pffft...a Rosa(linda) player, huh? That's a pretty hard counterpick to Zhen..."

Jetlag:
Jet strips his gloves off and tosses them near the rest of his stuff, "..why was I still wearing these damned things anyway..." Then ,he looks at the back of his hand, "I haven't checked this in a while. I suppose it still works, even if it's not visible." He runs his fingers through his hair, "I can't tell you how odd it feels to be branded like this."

Tatsuun:
"Not as much as the Cheryl-Al matchup though. Alloces has some really, really bad matchups in general...it's a shame, since he's so fun to play!"
NotJohn is disconnected.

Sophia :
"Hmm...I wish I could say I understand you Chloe, but...I still wanna help you anyway I can..."

Sophia :
"Rosalinda's so much! Isn't she like the best character in the game? Especially when that green thing she summons! Something being unbreakable or something."

Marcy:
"I'm fine with everything staying the same. Well, before all this happened, preferrably..."
Jetlag: (( if only Al had gotten to fight more than mooks with his new moves (sad) ))

Chloe:
"I...don't really expect anyone to understand..." She sighs once more, "I don't remember the last time I was 'home'. I've been running away from there...for what? Two years now, probaby? I guess that's why fending for myself here isn't that dfiferent..."
Jetlag: (( at least I can take solace in Darius being...god tier (smirk7) ))

Marcy:
Marcy rubs her chin while still covering her body up. "I do want to know though; Why are you all being so secretive? Where are all these monster attacks coming from anyway? This is all like something on TV..."
Jetlag: (( Probably a total bitch to play though. ))

Tatsuun:
"Monster attacks? Now what kind of game are YOU playing?"

Marcy:
"This isn't a game!"

Tatsuun:
*Looks at camera*

Sophia :
"Hmm..." Sophia awkwardly replies with, "Well, if it's not too personal...can you tell me a bit more about this "home?"

Libby:
"You get used to it after a while. Ah well. All will be revealed in due time anyway. I'm fairly optimistic."

Sophia :
"Man, you should have been there when that godzilla thing was on in the game. He went down like a bitch though..."

Marcy:
Marcy turns around and holds her legs. "Oh forget it. Maybe this is all really just a game...and I'm the one being played here."

Jetlag:
"Agh...man, if only...Er, nevermind. I, uh, can't say I know what's going to happen from here on out. This has all been a clusterfuck of dreams and fantasy since the very first day."

Sophia :
"...Speaking of that fighting game, if there's one character I reallly really hated fighting, it was that stupid Reis girl. God, I have no idea what to do in that matchup."

Chloe:
"Well..." she shifts about uncomfortably, "For pretty much as long as I can remember...my dad used to....well, he's a real fuckin' dick. Abusive. Physically. Emotionally. Always making me feel like shit. Real high class though, respected member of the community...so nobody believed a word I said..." She looks away, "Mom wasn't much better...she didn't do that shit, but she didn't do anything to stop it...then one day...she was gone. Didn't say goodbye or anything really...she was just gone." Chloe looks back at Sophia, "So I decided to take her silent advice and ran away. Never looked back...but it's lonely...it's real shitty being by yourself..."

Skatetsu:
"..." Skatetsu probably has some things to say on that subject, but thinks better of it and prefers to stay silent about the whole deal. ")What you should focus on is becoming stronger, Chloe. If not for them, then definitely for yourself. That's the entire reason I exist, after all...)"

Skatetsu:
*(

Tatsuun:
"She's a pretty annoying piece fo work, yes...Professor Richard is a pretty solid counterpick against her though. Goes through her projectiles like nothing!"

Jetlag:
"Whoa...Manny, you fall asleep? You in there, buddy?" Jet waves his hand in front of Manny's probably-asleep face, but freezes up when he notices his hand and fingers are stained scarlet, "Oh, whoa...did I cut myself on something? But I don't feel anything..." He brings it up to his face for inspection, "...oh. Shit. This stuff's finally washing out. I guess the wet sand rubbed it out..."

Chloe:
"Guess it's just kinda gets to you when the people who are -supposed- to love you more than anything couldn't give two shits about you...but I've been trying to stay strong...for myself...for all this time now...it just sorta makes you wonder what the point is sometimes..." She says this aloud but is mostly speaking towards Skatetsu with her reply.

Sophia :
"...Geez..." Sophia sighs as tries to respond with, "I...can't say I really...relate to you that much Chloe. Even though, I hate the way they treat me sometimes...I still really care about them and they always know when to support me. Even my brother, who's a complete asshole, who keeps taking my things and ruining my day...!...was always there for me when I needed it most. Guess I really am a spoiled brat huh..." Sophia thinks, looking down. "But uh, Chloe..."

Sophia :
"Gaahhh, this is gonna sound really cheesy, but I don't think anyone's ever alone. I think...you and I met for a reason. Deep down, you're a good person and a good friend. I've...learned a lot this past week I guess."

Libby:
"Hmm? You get blood on your fingers or something?"

Jetlag:
"Damn, and I don't have any more of this stuff, either.. Ah? Oh, no. Sorry if I freaked you out. Just my hair dye...or paint, or whatever. Washing out, I guess.."

Sophia :
"I'm not sure what I can do to help you when this is all over...since we're like in different places and faraway and stuff, but...gah! Wish things could be a little more simplier!" She knocks herself on the head, punishing her dumbness.

Chloe:
"And that's why this sucks so much..." Chloe says, clenching her eyes shut, "The only friends I have and I'm about to lose them...I'm not even sure if Skatetsu will be able to be there...!" She holds back her tears the best she can, "I don't want to be alone again..."

Libby:
"Oooh! I see! I usually just take off my makeup and such before heading in the water. I'm surprised you didn't do the same..."

Jetlag:
"M-mak..erm...Well, I don't have any more of this, and I didn't particularly want it gone...but no sense crying over it."

Sophia :
"...do you have anything I can keep in touch with you maybe? Phone number, email, hell even snail mail...I mean who does that anymore, but still!"

Marcy:
Marcy just peeks back from the fetal position and turns around again, rubbing her eyes. "When this is over? Hmm...I feel like I probably should have gotten to know you all better..."

Jetlag:
no don't we're the feds remember

Marcy:
"Because when all is said and done, if I just end up disappearing into notexistence soon, I honestly wouldn't mind. I don't have much to lose anyway..."

Chloe:
Chloe shakes her head again, "Unless this phone works outside of here...hell, unless this phone -exists- outside of here...no, not really." She then turns her attention to Marcy, "Wait...what'd you say? Are you like...aware of what's actually going on here?"

Marcy:
"How could I not be? It's everywhere. Well, not -everywhere-...but I sure do see it. It's strange...I don't consider myself anything special. And this whole event seems to revolve around special people..."

Jetlag:
oh there's something you could stand to lsoe

Jetlag:
weight

Marcy:
I will eat you

Jetlag:
expected response, but that won't help your endeavor

Chloe:
"Well...pretty much everyone else seems to not even notice anything out of the ordinary..."

Marcy:
"And it's strange...nobody else seems to care about giant monsters stomping around. I feel like I'm just a glitch in this whole system. Like I'm not not meant to -be-"

Mono:
"Bwuuuh!" Mono forcibly lifts his head out of the water.

GrA:
"Yo, yo! Hold on! I just wanna see if i can sit indian style on-"

Mono:
"You will do no such thing."

Chloe:
"I guess that sorta puts my situation into perspective...when this is done, shit'll just be shitty for me...but when it's done for you..."

Jetlag:
"...Whoa. You were underwater so long I forgot you were here."

Marcy:
"I'm just not sure, is all. If I ever do go away, just promise you won't forget me."

Marcy:
"You only truly stop existing once you're forgotten. I can't imagine a worse fate."

Sophia :
>Marcy is FeMC

Sophia :
worse than dead, not even canon

Chloe:
>Worse than homeless, she's non-canon.

Chloe:
"We won't.."

Chloe:
Chloe shivers despite the hot water, "Yeah...I really can't imagine something worse than that..."

Sophia :
"I won't either. I don't think I could forget anyone here to be honest, heh." awful memories of ninja girl start coming back

Jetlag:
"Hmm...say, did you guys ever make any of those Badges? I've only got one...soon to be another."

Marcy:
"And in exchange, I'll promise to not forget about any of the things that happened this crazy week...including you. I've certainly had many highs and lows lately....but this week was undoubtedly the most interesting."

Libby:
"I've made a few, but I don't think they're safe to bring out here..."

Chloe:
"Gotta say, wasn't even thinking about end-game when this first came about...time really flies, I guess." She looks over at her skates, "But even if shit sucks the way it is...giving up isn't an option. We're gonna end this thing together, as a team."

Libby:
"If you want one, I still have a spare Lander badge in my pocket I keep for safekeeping...don't really need it."

Sophia :
"Yeah...! We came this far, there's no way we can give up here...no matter how many times Manny screws up!"

Chloe:
"Speaking of, THAT IDIOT BETTER NOT HAVE HIS HEAD UP TO THE WALL AGAIN!"

Scarf Cat:
Scarf Cat Naos in agreement

Sophia :
"Ehhh, think he's asleep. He looked really exhausted when we came here."

Jetlag:
"Oh, I wasn't asking for a freebie...I mena, it'd be nice, but I was wondering what kinds there are. The only one I have..well, all it really does is run around and fetch stuff for me. Which has come in surprinsgly handy, actually..."

Libby:
Libby shrugs. "I current just have a Kirukizan, Lant, and Flash Licker badge, on top of my old Fluidox one. And Lander, of course. They're fairly simple to make, after all."

Scarf Cat:
izzat sloop time

Tatsuun:
By the way Tatsuun was just kinda floating and splashing along while all that drama was happening.

Jetlag:
makes sense

Jetlag:
that's how you handle angst

Jetlag:
ignore it

Chloe:
Chloe is healed and gains 20 hit points.
Chloe: (( But yeah, that's a gewd time to stop. ))

Scarf Cat:
I wont waste time so that's another 3 karma for every1
Sophia : (( yeah ))

Sophia :
5 Karma woo

Sophia :
which I'll go ahead and use it to raise my agilty to a solid 5

Chloe:
Sew

Jetlag:
damn

Chloe:
Save log plox?

Jetlag:
next session is probably the last

Jetlag:

Chloe:
Clearly you'll just one shot the big bad with yours.

Chloe:
YOU JUST SPIRIT BOMB HIM.
