tom at the meuseum

[20:38] <~DarkSunDuelist> Tom, when last we saw you...a Lavasaurus had been killed.
[20:38] <~DarkSunDuelist> Wow, it's been a while.
[20:40] <Tom> ((yep))
[20:41] <~DarkSunDuelist> But it's been a number of months since then, and graduation will be happening soon.
[20:41] <~DarkSunDuelist> You haven't yet decided whether to split off from your team or not, but you wanted to take care of one last thing before you did.
[20:42] <~DarkSunDuelist> You find yourself in front of an area that's been seeing a lot of traffic recently: The Terranis Museum of International Art and History.
[20:42] <~DarkSunDuelist> You've heard the stories. There's some sort of ghost here and you decided to check it out and ask it some questions.
[20:45] <~DarkSunDuelist> Having experienced it yourself, you return to the room where you met the Tour Guide from before.
[20:49] <~DarkSunDuelist> The air goes cold and the people start to leave. You begin to shiver as the room goes dark.
[20:49] <~DarkSunDuelist> From behind one of the glass cases, you see a young woman, inspecting you shyly.
[20:50] <~DarkSunDuelist> The rest of the world seems too quiet. It's as if you're in your own world, just you, this girl, and the random art pieces in the room.
[20:50] <~DarkSunDuelist> What will you do?
[20:52] * Tom asked the young woman "Hi, my name is Tom, do you know where I can find a Tour Guide."
[20:53] <~DarkSunDuelist> "Tour Guide?" The girl asks curiously, tilting her head to the side.
[20:53] <~DarkSunDuelist> "Oh! He's not here right now. He went to go do his job or something. He might not be back for a while."
[20:54] <~DarkSunDuelist> She shuffles her feet slightly.
[20:54] <~DarkSunDuelist> "It could be a while...last time it was a few weeks between visits."
[20:54] * Tom moves over to the young woman and asks her "Do you work here?"
[20:56] <~DarkSunDuelist> She giggles, covering her mouth. "I guess you could say that."
[20:56] <Tom> "So what do you do here?"
[20:57] <~DarkSunDuelist> "Oh, you know. Sit in a glass case all day. Sometimes I spook people."
[20:58] <Tom> "Do you mind if I ask which glass case?"
[20:58] <~DarkSunDuelist> She brings you over to an old set of brushes in a glass case.
[20:59] <~DarkSunDuelist> "This one! It's a bit cramped, but they're my home. I don't even know what I'd do."
[20:59] <~DarkSunDuelist> "I mean, even when I was alive, I just wandered around all over the place, you know? I don't think I've ever had a proper home, or at least I can't remember one."
[21:00] <Tom> ((does it have the words "Top-Shelf fragility is headed your way!" or a picture of a female face with twintails holding up a peace handsign))
[21:02] <~DarkSunDuelist> No, but you recognize it as the case that DID have those things last time you were here.
[21:04] <Tom> "Do you remember when you first took up residence in this case?"
[21:05] <~DarkSunDuelist> She tilts her head to the side thoughtfully. "I dunno...maybe 400 years ago?"
[21:05] * IT (pidgeon@ARG-zOmBiE-ca2463.dsl.bell.ca) Quit (Connection closed)
[21:05] <~DarkSunDuelist> "It's been so long. Hard to imagine how long I've been like this."
[21:07] <Tom> "400 years ago. I'm terribly sorry but I never asked for your name. Sorry about that, guess I got caught up in my thoughts."
[21:09] <~DarkSunDuelist> She stares at you for a moment.
[21:10] <~DarkSunDuelist> "I...don't have a name. Well, I probably had one at some point, but now I don't."
[21:10] <Tom> "Well, why not give yourself a name?"
[21:11] <Tom> "Or would you prefer me calling you, well .... you."
[21:15] <~DarkSunDuelist> "To give myself a name would defeat the point of not having a name?"
[21:15] <~DarkSunDuelist> "Besides, don't you think it more romantic if somebody else were to give me a name?"
[21:16] <~DarkSunDuelist> She blushes. "Oh...I'm not exactly the monogamous type, but I wouldn't say 'no' to a handsome knight that called me sweet things."
[21:16] <~DarkSunDuelist> "...or just gave me sweet things."
[21:16] <~DarkSunDuelist> She grins devilishly
[21:22] * Tom thinks "How did I go from searching for "art in motion" to this?"
[21:24] * Tom looks at the glass case to see what is written on it
[21:25] <~DarkSunDuelist> [~Paintbrushes from Valoran~]
[21:26] <Tom> ((what do they look like))
[21:26] <~DarkSunDuelist> [These paintbrushes are said to have been used by a famous royal painter. Allegedly the painter used these brushes to seal a powerful spirit, however recent studies have disproved this as hyperbole.]
[21:26] <~DarkSunDuelist> They look like old paintbrushes. A sort of bamboo-like composition.
[21:27] <Tom> "Before I answer that question, I must ask are these your paintbrushes?"
[21:28] <~DarkSunDuelist> "They're not exactly mine. They were given to me a long time ago by a man who helped me."
[21:29] <Tom> "With that, might I ask?"
[21:31] <~DarkSunDuelist> "It's...a long story."
[21:32] <Tom> "Could you summarize it for me since I want to try to best understand who you are if I were to give you a name."
[21:34] <~DarkSunDuelist> "You're looking at the luckiest girl to ever live."
[21:35] <~DarkSunDuelist> "When I was alive, I had everything: Freedom, Fortune, Fun...all the best things in life."
[21:35] <~DarkSunDuelist> "I don't remember much of my life, other than the fact that I was executed."
[21:36] <~DarkSunDuelist> "Anyway, I was summoned by somebody, and the summoner was...well, she had an accident or something."
[21:36] <~DarkSunDuelist> "So the summoner became part of me. Her body became mine, and I lived again."
[21:37] <~DarkSunDuelist> "Of course, I went absolutely nuts because of that. Having two people in your head at the same time will do that, not to mention the fact that my own power and her powers were piling up something fierce."
[21:37] <~DarkSunDuelist> "A lot of my life is a blur, on both sides, but I do remember a man. A young painter I tripped over one day."
[21:39] * RayCharles (Mibbit@ARG-zOmBiE-3n2fmq.co.comcast.net) Quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
[21:40] <~DarkSunDuelist> "He talked to me. Helped me get my head straight."
[21:40] <~DarkSunDuelist> "Eventually I took up residence in his brushes. Later I learned that he'd been crowned as a prince. Apparently I'd done some damage at some point, and I was considered a national menace."
[21:41] <~DarkSunDuelist> "Of course, I don't remember any of that."
[21:43] <Tom> "Are you and the summoner still connected?"
[21:44] <~DarkSunDuelist> "We became the same person, more or less. All of her power became mine."
[21:44] <~DarkSunDuelist> "I can't say how much of my mind is hers and how much was originally mine, though."
[21:44] <~DarkSunDuelist> "I know that I'm me now. That's what matters, right?"
[21:45] <Tom> "Yes."
[21:45] <Tom> ((How does she look))
[21:46] <~DarkSunDuelist> Roll a Magic Resistance check.
[21:48] <Tom> )roll 1d100+45
[21:48] * DemonKrunk --> "Tom rolls 1d100+45 and gets 82."
[21:49] <~DarkSunDuelist> Roll a Psychic Resistance check as well
[21:49] <Tom> )roll 1d100+45
[21:49] * DemonKrunk --> "Tom rolls 1d100+45 and gets 60."
[21:51] <~DarkSunDuelist> You mentally force yourself to get a good look at her.
[21:52] * Nycko (Nycko@Karen.A.Cute) Quit (Ping timeout: 121 seconds)
[21:54] <Tom> ((what does that even mean))
[21:55] <~DarkSunDuelist> A young woman with long, wild red-orange hair smiles at you with wide blue eyes. The blue and black ceremonial dress she wears hugs her moderately exaggerated figure tightly, while still leaving some things to the imagination.
[21:56] <~DarkSunDuelist> The most outlandish features, however, are the fox's ears atop her head, and the trio of tails that snake out from under her hair.
[21:56] <~DarkSunDuelist> "Oh, you can see! That's good. It's been a while since somebody actually got a good look at me."
[21:57] <~DarkSunDuelist> There are still some fuzzy features. It seems there's some sort of glow keeping you from seeing her entirely.

[22:06] * DemonKrunk --> "Tom rolls 1d100+10 and gets 13."
[22:06] <~DarkSunDuelist> You get a 110.
[22:06] <~DarkSunDuelist> (( We learned that you don't add your mods again on open rolls. ))
[22:06] <~DarkSunDuelist> (( Reading Comprehension Strikes Again ))
[22:08] <Tom> ((so do I know anything or am I clueless))
[22:08] <~DarkSunDuelist> ...you can't tell if she's telling the truth or not. This shit is completely out of your league.
[22:09] <~DarkSunDuelist> If you had to take an educated guess, you'd swear it was magic, but magic hasn't properly existed for centuries.
[22:09] * Flikr (Flikr@ARG-zOmBiE-h53jp4.va.comcast.net) Quit (Quit: KVIrc 4.0.4 Insomnia http://www.kvirc.net/)
[22:09] <~DarkSunDuelist> As for identifying her, she's a living myth in the making. You're not even sure if there's something else like her in existence.
[22:10] * Tom tries to get closer to her
[22:11] <~DarkSunDuelist> You sit down right next to her on a bench.
[22:16] <~DarkSunDuelist> She makes no efforts to move away. She actually seems pretty content with the attention.
[22:16] <Tom> "So, how does the name Amy sound?"
[22:18] <~DarkSunDuelist> "Eh? That's a bit plain, don't you think?"
[22:19] <~DarkSunDuelist> "I guess I wouldn't say no, though. Call me whatever you'd like!"
[22:19] <Tom> "I'm not a poet, and I'll still taken back by everything just now."
[22:21] <Tom> "If you want I can think it over and find a better name for you but I'm still processing everything."
[22:23] <~DarkSunDuelist> "I see."
[22:24] <~DarkSunDuelist> "For the time being, then, I will be Amy."
[22:24] <~DarkSunDuelist> "Now, is there anything you wanted from me?"
[22:24] <Tom> "Does "Art in Motion" mean anything to you?"
[22:26] <~DarkSunDuelist> "Oh! It was an exhibit one of the guides came up with to attract hunters."
[22:26] <~DarkSunDuelist> "...but maybe I shouldn't say any more? It's a secret."
[22:28] <Tom> ((are we sitting on the bench next to Amy's glass case?))
[22:28] <~DarkSunDuelist> Yes.
[22:31] <Tom> "Did the exhibit happen to use the peoples emotions to create a personalized gallery trip to make it so we truly experience the art and have the people taking it in a sleeping state from the moment they come in the museum to when they awaken on this bench?"
[22:32] <~DarkSunDuelist> "Only the important ones."
[22:32] <~DarkSunDuelist> "Like you, I take it?"
[22:32] <Tom> "Yep."
[22:35] * YYAnon is now known as Violet
[22:35] <Tom> "Came here today to try to have that happen again to see if I could solve a medical problem."
[22:37] <~DarkSunDuelist> "What medical problem?"
[22:37] * Deafdefiler is now known as Roth
[22:38] * Roth is now known as Deafdefiler
[22:41] <Tom> "My friend Ericka has a heart condition that is going to kill her in the near future so I was hoping to find a cure for it using the "Art in Motion" to try to use the emotion state of "Eureka" to see if I could find a solution."
[22:42] <~DarkSunDuelist> "Art in Motion was closed months ago. It was a fairly brief exhibit. The person running it seemed to have satisfied the conditions they were looking for."
[22:42] * Editanon is now known as Luna
[22:43] * Luna is now known as Editanon
[22:46] <~DarkSunDuelist> "Sounds like your friend is doomed, though."
[22:47] <Tom> "Ha, it seems like a cruel fate, I doubt she can stay dead for long."
[22:48] <Tom> "Seems she has friends watching over her on the other side."
[22:49] <~DarkSunDuelist> Amy raises an eyebrow.
[22:49] <~DarkSunDuelist> She doesn't have any response, though.
[22:51] * Tom tries to put his arm around Amy and says "Your guess is better than mine."
[22:51] * Saia is now known as Erina
[22:56] <~DarkSunDuelist> "Hey, now, don't you think you're moving a little too fast?"
[22:56] <~DarkSunDuelist> Amy raises an eyebrow and smirks at you.
[22:57] <~DarkSunDuelist> "Besides, I'm much older than I look. You're not even a kid compared to me."
[22:58] <Tom> "Yet before you were talking about being a romantic and wanting a handsome knight to say sweet things to you."
[23:03] * Jolt (Mibbit@ARG-zOmBiE-vhspsr.war.clearwire-wmx.net) Quit (Quit: http://www.mibbit.com ajax IRC Client)
[23:04] <Tom> "It's hard to say sweet things while we are talking about life, so I thought this would work as a compromise."
[23:07] <~DarkSunDuelist> You hear a noise.
[23:07] <~DarkSunDuelist> Immediately, Amy bolts upright.
[23:07] * Tom chases after her
[23:08] <~DarkSunDuelist> "Aaaah! I gotta get back home!"
[23:08] <~DarkSunDuelist> She pecks you on the cheek.
[23:08] <~DarkSunDuelist> "Come visit again, alright?"
[23:08] <~DarkSunDuelist> suddenly, she vanishes.
[23:08] <Tom> "You can count on it Amy."
[23:08] <~DarkSunDuelist> You get the feeling you were just ditched.
[23:09] <~DarkSunDuelist> Suddenly, the air becomes warm again, and you blink a couple of times as the lights come back on.
[23:09] <~DarkSunDuelist> Within moments, people start walking through again, as if it was a normal exhibit.
[23:10] <Tom> ((can I roll notice before the air becomes warm again?))
[23:10] <~DarkSunDuelist> Sure.
[23:10] <Tom> )roll 1d100+30

[23:17] <Tom> ((where am I in the room when people come in))
[23:19] <~DarkSunDuelist> Still on the bench.
[23:20] * Tom looks over at the brushes and then gets up and leaves
[23:20] <~DarkSunDuelist> Despite the crowd, you seem to be alone again.
[23:20] <~DarkSunDuelist> You leave without another word.
