Session 75.5: Talks with Jen and Garcia

Aug 14 22:22:55 <zooftop>	Okay, well
Aug 14 22:23:12 <zooftop>	I assume this happens sometime before your group headed back home for Visiwa
Aug 14 22:24:00 <zooftop>	Garcia was more or less bound to a chair and locked in a room with Nova, mostly because no one was sure what she'd try to do.  She's been quiet thus far.
Aug 14 22:24:31 <Rosetta>	Is Rosetta a floating mess of bandages at this point?
Aug 14 22:25:30 »»	Chase_Violet wouldn't mind pushing a wheelchair, you know. Girl doesn't have to psychic power everywhere!
Aug 14 22:27:27 <zooftop>	Yes, yes she is.
Aug 14 22:27:46 »»	Rosetta doesn't want to be in a dumb wheelchair!
Aug 14 22:28:56 <Chase_Violet>	"Alright, suit yourself, girl." Either way it goes, Chase helps Rosetta out of the hospital ward and makes sure she actually can support herself before heading over to where Garcia's been kept. When they get there, he raps twice on the door, before turning the handle.
Aug 14 22:29:02 <zooftop>	Wheelchairs on the moon totally do (not) come with Potato Launchers.
Aug 14 22:29:17 <zooftop>	But they do hover
Aug 14 22:31:37 <zooftop>	Garcia couldn't respond even if she wanted to - someone gagged her mouth so she couldn't do something bizarre like bite her tounge off.  She's awake, though, and stares blankly at the two of you as you enter.  The Luxray rests in a corner of the room, quite bored.
Aug 14 22:32:06 <Rosetta>	"Wow, um. Where do we start here?"
Aug 14 22:33:22 <Chase_Violet>	"Man, maybe went a little overboard with this..." he muses, looking at her as they enter. "We're practically treating her like a PoW. But I guess... we don't really know what to expect. Hey, Nova. ...Hey, Garcia. Sorry about all this." he closes the door behind himself. "
Aug 14 22:33:37 <Chase_Violet>	"Well first things first."
Aug 14 22:33:52 <Chase_Violet>	He walks over and undoes the gag. How is she bound?
Aug 14 22:34:48 <zooftop>	It's just a rag that was tied around her head and secured snugly enough that she couldn't really NOT bite down on it.  It's not really a hassel to take off.
Aug 14 22:34:48 <Rosetta>	"Um." Rosetta nudges Chase and whispers. "Might wanna do an aura check?"
Aug 14 22:35:02 <Chase_Violet>	"Yeah, yeah, I'm on it." And so he is.
Aug 14 22:36:15 <Chase_Violet>	Oh, I more meant her other bindings.
Aug 14 22:36:19 <Chase_Violet>	But either way.
Aug 14 22:36:32 <Chase_Violet>	He gives a look over her aura as he loosens her gag and takes it off.
Aug 14 22:36:44 <zooftop>	She's just secured with towels and stuff, whatever they had access to
Aug 14 22:37:34 <zooftop>	Nothing really weird about her Aura.  Currently 'feels' like <Well this is awkward.>
Aug 14 22:37:48 <Chase_Violet>	"She seems alright... How you feeling?"
Aug 14 22:38:18 <Rosetta>	"Heya."
Aug 14 22:38:28 <Chase_Violet>	For the record, Lie Detector is active too.
Aug 14 22:38:47 <Chase_Violet>	But I kind of doubt he'll need it.
Aug 14 22:39:20 <Chase_Violet>	He reaches down and scratches Nova's head before claiming a seat of his own facing her.
Aug 14 22:42:23 <zooftop>	She scrunches her nose at Chase's question - it IS a bit rediculous.  "I've been worse - guess I got caught with my hand in the cookie jar."
Aug 14 22:43:11 <Rosetta>	"Yeah, sorta. How'd you end up starting to go to that church anyway?"
Aug 14 22:43:54 <Chase_Violet>	"Well, I figured I'd ask. We're not going to jump down your throat or anything... " he pauses a moment, frowning. "Things have kind of been... different since Thundercry, huh? ...Never really knew a good way to bring it up in conversation. But... look, why don't we hear your side of the story here?"
Aug 14 22:46:00 <zooftop>	"I just felt like going - its not like the only reason I came here was to go there.  Just, when we did get here, there was like this...strong urge to.  Not like voices in my head, but a desire to."
Aug 14 22:46:35 <zooftop>	"And after I did go, the first time...didn't see a reason to stop."
Aug 14 22:47:29 <zooftop>	She looks exasperated when Chase asks that, and sighs.  "Do I really have to?"
Aug 14 22:47:56 <Rosetta>	"Even knowing what was up with the church? What exactly happened? I mean, who introduced you to everything in the church? What'd they say or do?"
Aug 14 22:49:32 <Chase_Violet>	"We just want to understand, Garcia. You had to have known who was behind all of it, what his forces have been doing... and this strong urge of yours... I can't help but wonder if he'd been putting some kind of influence over you. ...so yes. Please. We wanna help, alright?"
Aug 14 22:49:39 <Chase_Violet>	"It's not like you're suddenly the enemy or anything."
Aug 14 22:50:06 <Rosetta>	"We should probably take turns." Rosetta turns to Chase.
Aug 14 22:50:16 <Chase_Violet>	"Well, alright."
Aug 14 22:50:31 »»	Chase_Violet gestures to Rose. "Go with hers first."
Aug 14 22:51:06 <Rosetta>	"Yeah, me first. I have bandage mummy girl privileges right now."
Aug 14 22:51:08 <Chase_Violet>	"I mean I guess I woulda preferred to start at the beginning but asking different things isn't gonna help here."
Aug 14 22:51:21 <Chase_Violet>	"I tell you one thing - I have never seen that many burns before."
Aug 14 22:54:45 <zooftop>	"Ugh, this isn't even the fun 'let's take turns with her'.  I didn't know there was a church there until we all got that memo about it.  And as for..." she looks away and puckers her lips, thinking.  "...come to think of it I don't really remember who or what happened there.  Just it was really euphoric."
Aug 14 22:55:19 <Chase_Violet>	"...Rosetta, didn't you say they were puttin' something in the water? Gen figure out what it was, yet?"
Aug 14 22:55:20 <Rosetta>	"Did Gen ever figure out what they were pumping into the water? We should figure out what they put in the water."
Aug 14 22:55:25 <Chase_Violet>	"Shit."
Aug 14 22:56:22 <Chase_Violet>	"Well, long story short, Garcia, I think they were feeding you drugs through the bathing area. Not to mention whatever supernatural influence the Banisher could probably work..."
Aug 14 22:57:48 <Rosetta>	"This doesn't sound good though. We've got no idea what else they might've done, yeah?" Rosetta tilts her head, as much as she can do that all wrapped up.
Aug 14 22:58:29 <zooftop>	"Well, uh, yeah?  I sorta figured that out after the first visit."
Aug 14 22:59:13 <Chase_Violet>	"Did you really buy into their prolytizing, though?" he asks.
Aug 14 22:59:20 <zooftop>	Garcia looks to Rosetta. "What happened to you anyway?  You look like a Garchomp played fetch with you."
Aug 14 22:59:28 <Rosetta>	"Based on how the Banisher operates though, I'd give up funnelcakes for a month if he didn't single you out to draw to the church."
Aug 14 22:59:31 <Rosetta>	"Oh uh."
Aug 14 23:00:06 <Rosetta>	"Jenn turned into Grant and made this mini-meteor things. Aria blew some of them away, but there was one left, so I uh..."
Aug 14 23:00:17 <Rosetta>	"I kinda grapple hooked to it and smacked it with a rocket hammer."
Aug 14 23:00:28 <Chase_Violet>	"She did something from her kantonese animes. It somehow worked."
Aug 14 23:00:50 <Chase_Violet>	"Story of our lives, I guess." he says, a little amused.
Aug 14 23:01:03 <Rosetta>	"It's not from the ani- OW!" Rosetta tries to flail around in protest but whimpers and settles still again.
Aug 14 23:02:04 <Rosetta>	"Anyway, it totally kicked ass."
Aug 14 23:02:09 <zooftop>	"Oh, guess the cookie jar is busted then."
Aug 14 23:03:07 <Chase_Violet>	"Yeah, Jennifer's in custody, and the church's back room dealings with local corps got spilled over the news. We're only really responsible for the first bit." he scratches his head. "...Did you want to put your hand back in?"
Aug 14 23:04:18 <zooftop>	"If I caught you polishing your Onix would you stop doing it?"
Aug 14 23:05:11 <Rosetta>	"Well, we're talking about drugs and mind magic here. That's sorta different, yeah?"
Aug 14 23:05:23 <Chase_Violet>	"Come on, I'm being serious, here. There's a lot of difference between cuddling up with some psychotic alien's cult, drugs and supernatural powers aside, and jerking off."
Aug 14 23:05:32 <Rosetta>	"You want me to...try to clear that up? I mean, you're probably still feeling any addictive effects at the least."
Aug 14 23:05:33 <Chase_Violet>	"Help me understand your thought process here, Garcia."
Aug 14 23:06:25 <Chase_Violet>	"We can try and get you help, like rehab, or talk to you about this or whatever it takes."
Aug 14 23:10:07 <zooftop>	"Clear what up?  And understand -what-?  You're starting to tick me off with your CIS feel goody crap."  Roll Intuition for me.
Aug 14 23:10:13 <Chase_Violet>	6d6+6
Aug 14 23:10:13 <CritSenpai>	6d6+6: 30 [6d6=6,3,4,1,5,5]
Aug 14 23:10:44 <Rosetta>	1d6-1 should I even bother?
Aug 14 23:10:44 <CritSenpai>	should I even bother?: 5 [1d6=6]
Aug 14 23:12:18 <zooftop>	She seemed to get pretty damned irratable when you implied there was something wrong with the choice she made there.  This line of conversation is probably just going to cause her to clam up.
Aug 14 23:14:40 <Chase_Violet>	He takes a deep breath and lets out a sigh. "Okay, fine. Why don't we back up a little."
Aug 14 23:15:45 <Rosetta>	"You aren't worried that an evil space fairy is trying to worm his way into your head? That's all I meant there."
Aug 14 23:15:52 <Chase_Violet>	"Can you tell us what happened after the attack at the factory in Thundercry?"
Aug 14 23:18:43 <zooftop>	"No, I'm not." She snaps at Rosetta.
Aug 14 23:18:58 <Chase_Violet>	"Let's just drop that part for now, Rose."
Aug 14 23:19:03 <Rosetta>	"Fine."
Aug 14 23:21:48 <zooftop>	"After that creepy cultist girl zonked me out...I started having really bad dreams.  About me dieing a slow, painful death in a hospital bed, and being all alone.  I guess you probably noticed at some point, but I had a pretty nasty medical condition, with the electricity and all.  I always figured I was going to kick the bucket before the age of thirty, but those dreams really shook me.  I started questioning my lifest
Aug 14 23:21:49 <zooftop>	yle choices...and realizing if I didn't change things, that might have been my fate after all."
Aug 14 23:22:39 <Chase_Violet>	"Geez..."
Aug 14 23:23:22 <Rosetta>	"Yikes. Did you talk to anyone about that?"
Aug 14 23:23:30 <zooftop>	"I had a feeling what that chick did was intentional...so I wanted to confront her again, at some point, but that didn't work out.  Wanted to know just what the hell she did to me..."
Aug 14 23:23:40 <Chase_Violet>	"And you didn't want to talk about it with anyone, I guess. Either because you'd be worried what they thought... or you didn't think it was their problem?"
Aug 14 23:24:12 <Chase_Violet>	"I'm sorry. I guess... we should have been a little more proactive in making sure you were okay."
Aug 14 23:24:22 »»	Lily_Blevins is now known as Aori_Radidjiu
Aug 14 23:25:13 <zooftop>	"Of course I didn't - after Saryx shredded Anna's heart to pieces and Alice and her basically became new best friends over it, I didn't really have someone to turn to.  Besides, Anna never liked talking about my sexuality or lifestyle, she's too pure for that."
Aug 14 23:25:30 <Chase_Violet>	"Saryx did -what- now?"
Aug 14 23:25:40 <Chase_Violet>	"Fuck, I knew the guy wasn't subtle but I didn't realize."
Aug 14 23:26:09 <Chase_Violet>	"So... you drifted apart from Anna and you didn't have anyone to talk about things with."
Aug 14 23:26:14 »»	Rosetta starts to facepalm but thinks better of it. "Makes you wonder how he's getting along with Trice now..."
Aug 14 23:27:05 <zooftop>	Spoilers: That collar he made?  She ain't the one who wears it.  Guy's whipped like a Ponyta.
Aug 14 23:28:12 <Chase_Violet>	"Honestly, this may be coming too little too late, but I would have talked with you about it. Probably would have been a little awkward considering we didn't know each other that well, but... it's not like I was just interested in nailing Ammy and not getting to know the rest of you. Things just got way too busy. And by the time we did get to hang out, at the Safari Zone, I guess
Aug 14 23:28:12 <Chase_Violet>	the most damage had been done."
Aug 14 23:28:28 <Chase_Violet>	He shakes his head, though.
Aug 14 23:28:52 <Chase_Violet>	"What's done's been done, I guess... So, you changed your lifestyle because of the dreams you were having."
Aug 14 23:28:52 <Rosetta>	"Anyway, what happened after that? I mean, between then and us going to the moon."
Aug 14 23:32:05 <zooftop>	"Nothing much, really.  I didn't really have a way to get information from that chick, so I sort of brooded on stuff till we got here.  Then the urges and nudges started.  And now I feel -fantastic-.  Or did until the hammer fell."
Aug 14 23:34:11 <zooftop>	"I dunno, between how much Rosetta freaked out when we hooked up and only knowing you from your dating Ammy, I wasn't about to go asking for help," She mumbles.
Aug 14 23:34:40 <Chase_Violet>	"I guess I can see that... shit, I've felt the pain of being alone. Back in college, around when we thought my sister died... dad was serving, mom was grieving, I couldn't really turn to anyone to help deal with my grief, except my girlfriend at the time. I kind of popped the question way too early, she rejected me, and... shit kind of fell apart. My grades tanked, looked like
Aug 14 23:34:41 <Chase_Violet>	I woulda had to drop out... but then Nick came along, and then Zeke. ...I was really fortunate to have friends there to help me get through that shit..."
Aug 14 23:35:16 <Chase_Violet>	"Hell that shit still scarred me for years and I was afraid of committing myself into a relationship... til I ended up meeting Ammy, anyway."
Aug 14 23:35:33 <Rosetta>	"Sorry about all that. It was my fault and all, and I guess that's part of why I didn't really ask about it either. Figured you wouldn't wanna talk to me 'bout that."
Aug 14 23:35:35 <Chase_Violet>	"It fucking sucks to have no one to turn to, though."
Aug 14 23:35:58 <Rosetta>	"So you started feeling weird urges and shit as soon as we got to the moon? And did the dreams stop?"
Aug 14 23:38:03 <zooftop>	"-Everything- stopped.  My epilepsy, the dreams, not to mention I finally have a body I'm comfortable with." She huffs.
Aug 14 23:38:51 »»	Aori_Radidjiu is now known as Claire_Bellamy
Aug 14 23:39:15 <Chase_Violet>	"Yeah... I don't blame you then. ...You were born a guy, right? No one really told me, but there were a few hints here and there I picked up on..."
Aug 14 23:39:54 <zooftop>	"I sort of figured -everyone knew- after Rosetta found out the hard way."
Aug 14 23:40:21 <Chase_Violet>	"Rosetta doesn't really go telling people about things like that."
Aug 14 23:40:27 <Chase_Violet>	"At least, she didn't tell any of us?"
Aug 14 23:40:35 <Chase_Violet>	"But she's not that kind of person."
Aug 14 23:40:36 <Rosetta>	"Yeah, I didn't say a word."
Aug 14 23:41:05 <Rosetta>	"If anything, it sorta seemed like everyone but me knew already? Kept getting dropped in casual conversation and stuff."
Aug 14 23:41:58 <Chase_Violet>	"Though, knowing really never changed how I saw you as a person. You were still Garcia. Fun-loving, protective of Anna, all-around bubbly person. "
Aug 14 23:43:15 <Chase_Violet>	"But I'm telling you right now, honest to every single damn god out there, if the Banisher had come to me when I was down and grieving five years ago, offered to take my pain away, bring back my sister, give me the girl of my dreams... I'd have taken that deal on the spot and probably not thought a lot about the consequences. ...So I don't blame you if this was really your decision.
Aug 14 23:43:15 <Chase_Violet>	I just wanted to make sure the Banisher wasn't making it for you."
Aug 14 23:45:29 <Rosetta>	"Chase," Rosetta frowns. "Maybe this is just cause I suck at people, but even if this is everything she ever wanted I don't think she can honestly tell if she's still being influenced in some way. Or that we can. The only way to know for sure is to try to wipe out whatever hooks and influence the Banisher might still have, and see if that actually changes anything, yeah?"
Aug 14 23:46:20 <Rosetta>	"I mean, I probably should've done this from the start, just to be sure." Rosetta reaches for her gem and taps it. Wanderlust.
Aug 14 23:46:35 <zooftop>	"Ugh you are way too patronizing - no wonder Ammy is so mushy for you. I walked in, and what felt like several shotgun orgasms later had everything I ever wanted.  And I'd go today or tomorrow if you unbound me and hadn't destroyed it.  Am I under arrest or something?"
Aug 14 23:47:38 <Chase_Violet>	He sighs. "What do you plan on doing from here if we let you go?"
Aug 14 23:47:59 <zooftop>	The gem flashes, Garcia makes an erotic moaning sound as some feeling seems to wash over her, and she nods off, head hanging down.
Aug 14 23:47:59 <Chase_Violet>	Though he's quiet, looking at Rosetta.
Aug 14 23:48:14 <Chase_Violet>	"...the hell was that?"
Aug 14 23:48:27 <Rosetta>	"Same thing I did with Binny."
Aug 14 23:49:07 <Chase_Violet>	He nods after a moment. "Well, it seemed to do -something-."
Aug 14 23:49:14 <Chase_Violet>	"Maybe we'll see some improvement out of her."
Aug 14 23:49:24 <Rosetta>	"It's freedom - freedom from whatever the Banisher might've done to her head or what the drugs were doing or whatever. So we can be sure whatever Garcia says from now on, it's actually her."
Aug 14 23:52:43 <Rosetta>	"Thanks." Rosetta whispers into the gem, then floats back a foot or so as she waits for Garcia to come to again.
Aug 14 23:53:42 <Chase_Violet>	"Well, fine. I don't think she was buying into my approach anyway. Guess she would have preferred the 'Okay seriously I get why you did this but stop it's a dumb move' routine."
Aug 14 23:55:02 »»	Chase_Violet gets up. "Alright, well... guess we're done here. Thanks, Rose."
Aug 14 23:55:25 <Rosetta>	"Huh? Not gonna wait and see if she wakes up?"
Aug 14 23:56:00 <Chase_Violet>	"Nah, you can wait. I can tell when I'm just pissing someone off. It'll probably help if you alone talk to her after."
Aug 14 23:56:19 <Chase_Violet>	"Will you be alright getting back to the ward?"
Aug 14 23:57:36 <Rosetta>	"I'll be fine, but uhhhh, you want -me- to talk to her alone?"
Aug 14 23:58:33 <Chase_Violet>	"Okay, maybe you're not the best people person, but you know her better than I do, Rose." he smiles. "And maybe being a people person isn't really what's needed here anyway. Silver tongue only gets you so far."
Aug 14 23:58:56 <zooftop>	She does eventually wake up again.  "Geez, what was..."  She can't really rub her head, but she shakes it a few times.  "You're way better at whatever that was than you are at oral, Rosetta."
Aug 14 23:59:21 <Chase_Violet>	He scratches Noah's head. "Oh, huh, that was pretty fast."
Aug 14 23:59:34 <Rosetta>	"H-hey!"
Aug 15 00:00:41 <Rosetta>	"...oh Bondye what if Binny felt like that when I- you know what nevermind." Rosetta shakes her head too.
Aug 15 00:00:59 <Chase_Violet>	"...The mental images. Why."
Aug 15 00:01:12 <Rosetta>	"How do you feel?"
Aug 15 00:01:24 <zooftop>	"What were we talking about again..?"  She seems a bit dazed, honestly.
Aug 15 00:03:36 <Rosetta>	"Uh, that whole biz with the church and stuff. You feeling alright? You seem kind of out of it. We can give you a moment to get your bearings again, yeah?"
Aug 15 00:03:44 <Chase_Violet>	"Shotgun orgasms." he comments.
Aug 15 00:05:42 <zooftop>	"I, uh, guess I'm alright?  Were we talking about church or sex?  Cause if its the latter being tied up like this is an interesting kink."

Aug 15 00:06:40 <Chase_Violet>	"I'm just playin' with ya." he laughs.
Aug 15 00:07:43 <Chase_Violet>	He -was- poised to leave, but he's actually pretty curious.
Aug 15 00:08:25 <@zoofman>	"I think we were talking about my downstairs mix up and how that happened?"
Aug 15 00:09:42 <Chase_Violet>	"Yeah, more or less..."

Aug 15 00:11:10 <@zoofman>	It doesn't seem like she's upset with either of you anymore.
Aug 15 00:12:23 <Chase_Violet>	He finds that curious and wonders what the hell exactly the Nameless removed exactly. Maybe a question for another time.
Aug 15 00:12:41 <Chase_Violet>	"You had anything else to ask her, Rose?"
Aug 15 00:13:11 <Chase_Violet>	He's not rushing her
Aug 15 00:13:17 <Chase_Violet>	Just wondering!
Aug 15 00:14:29 <Rosetta>	"Not much. I think that did it." Rosetta nods to herself, as much as she can anyway. "Just wondering where we go from here." She tilts her head slightly and looks to Garcia. "I mean, what would you say your answer would be to 'what now?'"
Aug 15 00:16:40 <@zoofman>	"Uuuuh...are we talking sundaes or whats going to happen to me for...well, ya know..."
Aug 15 00:17:51 <Rosetta>	"Well, honestly, we're gonna have to at least keep an eye on you for a while. I think you'd understand that, yeah?"
Aug 15 00:19:30 <Chase_Violet>	"..were there sundaes in the breakfast cant? Anyway. You seem to be alright now...  I honestly don't think we need to incarcerate you or anything, but I'm gonna go have a chat with Ammy and we'll see what happens."
Aug 15 00:20:17 <@zoofman>	"I can't really blame you for that after...'choosing' to do what I did."  She honestly seems hesitant to call it choosing.  "...Maybe I SHOULD have seen a therapist at some point."
Aug 15 00:20:53 »»	Rosetta taps at her gem again. "Heya, what exactly -did- that purge anyhow?"
Aug 15 00:21:17 <Rosetta>	"Just...curiosity at what we were dealing with there."
Aug 15 00:21:19 <Chase_Violet>	"We met one but I think she only took on pokemon as patients." he muses.
Aug 15 00:22:04 <Chase_Violet>	"Anyway, no foul. The Regalia are probably going to keep an eye on you and then I guess things are gonna go back to normal."
Aug 15 00:22:57 <Chase_Violet>	"I bet even we can't get away with hogtying you and smuggling you back to Visiwa in a suitcase." he jokes.
Aug 15 00:25:27 <@zoofman>	<The Banisher certainly played a role here in luring her in.  I doubt the dreams the Carbuncle inflicted were more than nightmares, but the stress they caused was very real.> is what Rosetta hears back.
Aug 15 00:26:06 <@zoofman>	<You may have caught her before he could fully ensare her.>
Aug 15 00:26:18 »»	Rosetta nods. "Glad this all worked out then."
Aug 15 00:26:47 <Rosetta>	"Anyway, guess we're done here. You want us to untie you, or you like it that way?" Rosetta flashes a cheeky grin.
Aug 15 00:27:57 <@zoofman>	"...That'd be kind of fun though.  The hogtying and smuggling.  Uh..."  she hesitates on how to answer that. "Even if you did I'd probably just sit here till you let the others know you were letting me go..sooo...."
Aug 15 00:30:16 <Chase_Violet>	"We'll let the Regalia do the honors then. It'll be like unwrapping a birthday present, only it's bondage flavored."
Aug 15 00:30:20 <Rosetta>	"We could let the others know right now. I mean, I bet the rest of the Regalia's worried and wants to see you ASAP. You okay with that?"
Aug 15 00:31:08 <Chase_Violet>	"But yeah, we're letting them know ASAP so same thing either way."
Aug 15 00:31:17 »»	Chase_Violet gets out his phone to text Ammy.
Aug 15 00:32:43 <Chase_Violet>	[Strawberry shortcake's been sweetened. Get the girls and pick it up?]
Aug 15 00:35:10 <Chase_Violet>	"Anyway, think we've done about all we can."
Aug 15 00:35:39 <@zoofman>	"I don't think I really got an option there...they'll come when they need to," She shrugs.
Aug 15 00:35:52 <Chase_Violet>	"I'll head back for now, lemme know if anything comes up, Rose? ...Oh, guess you can't."
Aug 15 00:36:03 <Chase_Violet>	"Shit. Okay, I'll stay with you."
Aug 15 00:36:24 <Rosetta>	"I mean, I can still use my phone with telekinesis."
Aug 15 00:36:34 <Chase_Violet>	"Oh, guess you can."
Aug 15 00:36:39 <Chase_Violet>	"Goddamn, TK is pretty useful isn't it."
Aug 15 00:37:18 <@zoofman>	Ammy's reply implies that she seems a little confused just what you're implying by 'sweetened', but that they'll be along shortly.
Aug 15 00:37:42 <Chase_Violet>	"Alright then, I'll be heading back. Seeya 'round, girls. You too, Noah."
Aug 15 00:38:07 <Chase_Violet>	"...and probably meeting them halfway." he says after seeing the reply. "Bit too vague I suppose."
Aug 15 00:38:13 »»	Chase_Violet heads on out!
Aug 15 00:38:14 <Rosetta>	"kay, I'll head back once the others arrive."

Aug 15 00:38:32 <Chase_Violet>	Goddamn
Aug 15 00:38:39 <Chase_Violet>	Have I been calling him Noah the whole time? *Nova
Aug 15 00:40:51 »»	Chase_Violet is now known as Kain
Aug 15 00:41:55 <@zoofman>	Things get a bit awkward silence with just the two of you in there, and Garcia being all tied up.

Aug 15 00:44:21 <@zoofman>	Though after about 15 minutes, The Myre sisters and Gigi do arrive.  Ammy is sure to tap you on the shoulder and say, "I'm not sure what you two did...but she was a lot less agreeable earlier today.  Thank you for whatever it was you said that calmed her down - do you need help getting to your room?  Not to kick you out, but I think we'd prefer to talk amongst ourselves." - oh okay.
Aug 15 00:45:00 <castfromhp>	Rosetta is totally cool with floating out and letting them handle things from there.
Aug 15 00:45:13 <@zoofman>	Alright, that sums that up then.

----

Aug 16 22:09:29 <@zoofman>	Okay, Genevieve, what sort of setting do you want to do this in?
Aug 16 22:10:16 <Genevieve>	Whichever is most likely, which is probably some kind of hospital bed under arrest.
Aug 16 22:11:49 <@zoofman>	Okay, we'll say this is at the same facility YOU guys got patched up at.  Jennifer's been bound, but treated, and her room is highly monitored and guarded.  That said, the people running this place didn't really take issue with you wanting to talk in private with the prisoner.  After all, she's your prisoner - not theirs.
Aug 16 22:13:16 <Genevieve>	Once she's treated, which doesn't take too long considering she wasn't that hurt, Gen gathers up her resolve and makes her way to Jenn's room. "You awake?"
Aug 16 22:17:45 <@zoofman>	Jennifer, being constrained to the bed in this little white room, doesn't have much range of motion.  And she answers that question with her eyes, rather than words.  As you enter, she turns her head your way with a hollow stare, then gazes back to the cieling.  Unlike previous encounters, she doesn't trigger your symbolsight.
Aug 16 22:19:48 <Genevieve>	"Looks like a yes." She finds a chair and pulls it up to the side of the bed. "I think we should have a chat without Banisher looking over anyone's shoulder, don't you?"
Aug 16 22:22:45 <@zoofman>	"If you insist," she manages.  She sounds like she's been chain smoking - all that shapeshifting must have not been kind to her vocal chords
Aug 16 22:25:14 »»	Genevieve sighs and rubs her eyes. "I figured this would be difficult, but whatever. The only important thing is - where is Genesis and how do we get her away from Banisher?"
Aug 16 22:27:57 <@zoofman>	There's some quiet before she decides to answer that.  "After we evacuated the facility in Thundercry, we arranged to have her transported to the Mothership.  With the intent that, when the moment was right, she would be returned to Earth to play the role of the Star Child."
Aug 16 22:28:44 <Genevieve>	"So she's still there. Of course."
Aug 16 22:30:15 <@zoofman>	"Potentially.  The final transport back to the surface was to be flashy.  If she was moved, it would not be a secret."
Aug 16 22:31:12 <@zoofman>	"I suppose its no secret to you that she will be guarded by her other guardian angels, and the Cherubs."  She gives a hefty sigh.
Aug 16 22:32:21 <Genevieve>	"No, but I think by now we've made it apparent that we're prepared for that. Didn't even dip into the secret weapons for you and your bird."
Aug 16 22:34:16 <@zoofman>	"Am I to be thankful for that?"
Aug 16 22:35:47 <Genevieve>	"You're both alive, so you probably should be." Gen shakes her head. "Honestly, I don't know what I'm supposed to do here. I'm sure Chase is glad we talked you down, but this wasn't really how I thought things would go."
Aug 16 22:39:56 <@zoofman>	"Agreed - shame on me for not predicting that trick of yours.  It foiled my theatrics."
Aug 16 22:41:17 <Genevieve>	"Oh please, the back-up trick probably would have bordered on Banisher-esque mind control by flooding the building with Love until everyone was hugging and crying."
Aug 16 22:42:10 <Genevieve>	"Glad it didn't come to that, though. And it looks like the rapier probably will work on Hitler-ball, so two Pidgeys one Rock Throw."
Aug 16 22:45:26 <@zoofman>	She can tell that's a half-joke, but obviously doesn't find it funny.  "He would have interjected either way, once he realized I had no intent to kill in his name."
Aug 16 22:46:10 <Genevieve>	"Yeah, sorry about that. I would have liked to keep him out of it, but I'm not sure how to stop a god from doing god shit yet."
Aug 16 22:48:31 <@zoofman>	She attempts to shrug, but can't really get the full motion with her arms bound.  "It's quiet, now.  He's abandoned me, hasn't he?"
Aug 16 22:49:02 <Genevieve>	"Looks like it. You're not marked by him anymore."
Aug 16 22:52:02 <@zoofman>	She laughs, but it's pretty pitiful.  "Free from him, but still not free."
Aug 16 22:53:15 <Genevieve>	"Yeah, you're kind of a war criminal and probably into some crimes against humanity and all that."
Aug 16 22:57:59 <@zoofman>	"I was a tool, a complete, perfect tool.  I gobbled up the smoke and mirrors he put before me, and did whatever he pleased.  By the time the veil was lifted, it was far too late."
Aug 16 22:58:52 <@zoofman>	"There was honestly a point where I wished you would kill me, just to end it.  I knew it'd be easier than answering for my actions."
Aug 16 22:59:11 <Genevieve>	"Well, not TOO late. He hasn't won yet, Grant's set to win the fairy thing pretty easily."
Aug 16 23:00:06 <@zoofman>	"Not too late for his agenda, too late to take back my hand in it."
Aug 16 23:01:09 <Genevieve>	"Unfortunate side effect of the human condition. No take backsies."
Aug 16 23:02:23 <Genevieve>	"And to be honest I was little afraid to kill you since I know -I- would have set up a bunch of kill-switch contingencies and we're supposed to be the smart ones, right?"
Aug 16 23:05:34 <@zoofman>	"As a matter of fact, I did away with them when things begin to unravel.  When the Talespinner awoke...things changed."
Aug 16 23:08:13 <Genevieve>	"She took long enough to do it, it better have been a Mankey wrench."
Aug 16 23:13:58 <@zoofman>	"That severe? No, probably not.  It was more personal.  It was not long after I was freed from the lab I grew up in that I learned about you, Mom, Dad.  The Banisher ensured I would avoid you at all cost by instilling me with a threat that if we met, you would kill me.  And when it became apparant that we would meet, he twisted it to the belief that if I were the one to kill you, I'd be able to take your identity."
Aug 16 23:14:40 <@zoofman>	"I guess it was more than just his promises along afflicting me, but after that day...the words just felt hollow for some reason."
Aug 16 23:16:18 <Genevieve>	"Speaking of which, once we're back on Earth, you can probably meet them if you want. The parents."
Aug 16 23:18:37 <@zoofman>	"We have already.  It didn't end well."  Genevieve may recall that Mom and Dad told her that Jenn showed herself in front of them at some point, and was a bit creepy about it.]
Aug 16 23:18:59 <Genevieve>	"Yeah, I mean in a less totally crazy way."
Aug 16 23:23:27 <@zoofman>	"I'll have to see what the Rangers have in store for me first.  Hopefully better than what they sentenced that spy of Grant's to.  The one the blue haired kid captured."
Aug 16 23:24:50 <Genevieve>	"You'll probably get the Tialoc treatment."
Aug 16 23:26:22 <@zoofman>	Her eyes shift over towards you in a way that implies she wants further explanation.
Aug 16 23:27:59 <Genevieve>	"In prison basically forever. But he also invented a new kind of extremely illegal weapon. You might be able to argue that you didn't anything quite as horrible as that."
Aug 16 23:29:54 <@zoofman>	"Oh, no, I'm beyond hope then.  Back where I started, I guess."
Aug 16 23:30:27 <@zoofman>	She returns to staring at the ceiling, looking pretty resigned to her fate.
Aug 16 23:32:36 <Genevieve>	"Look, I'm not gonna lie, things are pretty bleak. But there is another option. If you help us take down Banisher and dismantle all the crap you put together, that's going to make a much better case for not treating you like Mr. Father of the Year."
Aug 16 23:38:06 <@zoofman>	"Is that how it works?  If they, I'll...think on what I can offer to help."
Aug 16 23:39:10 <Genevieve>	"In this case, snitches won't get stitches, because the rest of the people left in the Banisher camp probably ARE going to end up dead. Or sent back to Hell."
Aug 16 23:40:09 <@zoofman>	"In the event of my demise, he had plans in place to carry over.  And the more I think on it, the more I think he -wanted- you to kill me.  To wrap up a loose end, and to spur Genesis."
Aug 16 23:41:27 <Genevieve>	"I considered that, too. The more we can do to NOT have Genesis do whatever the goat says, the better."
Aug 16 23:44:46 <@zoofman>	"That is something I can agree with - above all, she was my biggest regret.  I'll share what I can when the time comes, so that this can finaly end."
Aug 16 23:47:26 <Genevieve>	"Good." Geneveive stands up and gets ready to leave. "I have your bird, but he's on lockdown until we're back on land and figure out how to hold him safely. Anything you wanted to ask me?"
Aug 16 23:54:24 <@zoofman>	"...There's one thing, since I've no choice but to trust Genesis's fate in your hands.  Will you ever visit while I'm incarcerated?"
Aug 16 23:54:44 <Genevieve>	"Do you want me to? Then I will."
