SnD- Stage 3-3: No Help from Dr. Dick

tirkaroKujo:
Alright, so now that we're all established here
PREVIOUSLY ON THE NOW SLIGHTLY RELEVANT TITLE
Darius:
MEDIC IS EASIEST CLASS TO PLAY

Darius:
TOKENS ARE NOT

Sialia:
u ain't mah cheryl >:V

Cheryl:
Fake?! Hah! She's not even good enough to be my fake!

Rosalinda:
The bonds of people is the true power! : D
Charlotte:
hey guys, look what I found! The plot!

Charlotte:
and a face
AND NOW, ON A NOT-SO-SPECIAL EPISODE OF SHIOKARAIKEN NO DENSETSU
tirkaroKujo:
Probably gonna need a bit of setup here, so right now it's the fabled Monday morning
Charlotte: (( Whoa-oh ))

Rosalinda:
Linda's alarm clock rings, and she reluctantly gets out of bed. "Ughhhhhh, muuuusttt....go...to school..." She then proceeds to get ready for school and such.
Rosalinda: (( also, what happened to my house (and well everyone else's)? >:V ))
tirkaroKujo:
Assumdedly TWILT and Charlotte are now getting ready for classes. Everyone is just a bit out of it after a seemingly endless weekend.
tirkaroKujo:
psst
tirkaroKujo:
go to Cobblestone
Rosalinda: (( (waiting) ))
tirkaroKujo:
What else do you think I meant by why dafuq are you in the lab
tirkaroKujo:
hit select map, and go to cobblestone
Rosalinda: (( how do I do that again- ))
Rosalinda: (( thank yu ))
tirkaroKujo:
As far as Darius is concerned, well, is he doing anything particularly important right now
Charlotte: (( Okay, had some bank stuff to take care of ))

Charlotte: (( uh, shit, my OWN house is gone, as is any frame of reference as to where I should be. ))
tirkaroKujo:
Riiight, fug, I totally deleted that
tirkaroKujo:
eh, it's not particularly needed right now

Charlotte:
Charlotte is indeed preparing for school herself, thankful she actually did her homework on Friday night - a million and a half more important things came up during the weekend, and today she had to talk to Dr. Dick
Darius: (( Back again hopefully for good ))

Rosalinda :
Linda proceeds to change into her more school clothes and proceeds to head to her...school. *Sigh* "Well, lets go to another boring of classes..

Rosalinda :
"
Charlotte: (( also, I'm going to be replacing my Ritual weakness with Duty Bound, as it's far more accurate, not that it's come up yet ))
Darius: (( Al had Secret (waiting) ))
Darius: (( HAD, as apparently Tirk told them all about that ))
Darius: (( I don't even know what to do with it anymore ))
Darius: (( by them I mean their characters, obv they knew ))

Darius:
Darius is asleep at (one of) his desk(s), having stayed up for the better part of the night engrossed in his research on stomach linings and soul-revivification apparently.
tirkaroKujo:
There's not much else to be seen on the way to school, so you recieve the usual set of greetings from classmates

Clockwork Angel:
Clockwork flits about as a Schrodinger's Kawaii Robot, unsure if she is able to exist while Darius sleeps.

Clockwork Angel:
However, she does not care

Charlotte:
Charlotte DOES plan to meet up with Rosalinda today to share her findings, and assure she still has the Wars, and oh god this next little bit is not going to go well, aha, ahaha, perfect, absolutely perfect, I LOVE it, I -LOVE- it, ahahahaaahaha
Rosalinda : (( where IS the school lol ))
tirkaroKujo:
Darn
Charlotte: (( I dunno, Tirk, grab us a map ))
tirkaroKujo:
I knew I was missing something
tirkaroKujo:
so make due with this for now

Rosalinda :
Linda did in fact still safely carried the strange orb close to her pocket. She's not sure if she wants to give it back to Charlotte or just continue holding onto it for now. After all, like what the Spider-Man cartoons have taught her, with great power comes great responsibility.
Rosalinda : (( ...the fucking battle network school? (D) ))
Rosalinda : (( this is the 90s dawg (D) ))
Charlotte: (( Paula probably shouldn't be there. ))
tirkaroKujo:
ITS THE ONLY CLASSROOM TYPE MAP I HAVE
Charlotte: (( Okay, let's roll for a proper setting for this encounter - « 1d3 = 1 » 1, in-class, 2, in the halls between classes, 3, at lunch ))
Charlotte: (( What class would we share then, all I know off-hand is band ))

Cheryl:
Cheryl is up and moving surprisingly early this morning and, even more surprisingly, with a clear head. With a fresh change of clothes on, she decides to check the news to see of any recent going ons.

Rosalinda :
Linda goes to her locker to prepare herself. Her first class in the morning is art class, so she had to make sure she had everything ready.
tirkaroKujo:
>The Spriter's Resource is down
tirkaroKujo:
fuuuuu
Charlotte: (( nah, I don't have art, art's for fags (hmm) ))
Clockwork Angel: (( use VGMaps or something ))
Clockwork Angel: (( that's a thing that exists isn't it ))
Charlotte: (( ah well, I can do another class ))

Charlotte: (( er... how's 3rd period gym sound to you? ))
Rosalinda : (( what else do you have? ))
Charlotte: (( I just threw together a schedule ))

Alloces:
Speaking of Schrödinger, Alloces has no idea when he'll be back alive again, and chooses to think about daisies and roses
Charlotte: (( Economics/ German/ Band/ English/ Trigonometry/ Gym/ World History, not in any particular order ))

Alloces:
He does wonder why on earth anyone would be autistic enough to throw a school schedule together for a game about being a band and fighting shit

Alloces:
He does not, however, judge
Rosalinda : (( I technically should have gym, along with Band, English, Math, Drama and Film ))
Rosalinda : (( Yes drama, don't laugh >:V ))
Charlotte: (( I'm more concerned with having ART, BAND, DRAMA, AND FILM. ))
Charlotte: (( You need more core classes, girl ))
tirkaroKujo:
The news is still covering the events from yesterday. It seems Rosa herself is a strong suspect for the murders, and is all but decided she was somehow responsible for the deaths of many. Additionally, there seem to be some reports of a phenomenon where people feel like they're floating on air. Other than that, not much is going on.
Rosalinda : (( I finished all my core classes in the previous grades (D) ))
Charlotte: (( You damned senior (D) ))
tirkaroKujo:
While going through your classes, you pick up some peculiar gossip from your classmates
Charlotte: (( But yeah, alright, got a schedule down. ))

Charlotte:
1st Math 2nd English 3rd Gym 4th Economics 5th World History 6th Band 7th German
Charlotte: (( I'm a Junior, so keep that in mind when considering what classes we may share ))
Charlotte: (( Econ's already confirmed to not have you ))

Maxwell:
@Agi After downtime, it seems Maxwell is talking up a storm about some of the teachers. "Keeh, heh, did you hear about Mr. Richard? I'd stay away from that guy if I were you. He seems to be getting reeeaaal 'friendly' as of late. And as everyone knows, once people get too friendly, they must be hiding something deep and dark!"

Rosalinda :
1st Art 2nd Math 3rd Film 4th Drama 5th English 6th Band 7th Gym
Rosalinda : (( So we can meet at Band if you want ))
Rosalinda : (( Or if not, lunch works (waiting) ))

Charlotte:
"Mr. Richard, too friendly...? Now what do you mean by that?"

Cheryl:
Not content to just sit around the house all day, sober at least, Cheryl flips the TV off, grabs her jacket and heads out the door to go for a walk

Reis:
During art, Reis seems to be sorta...slacking a bit in areas. She seems to take her time with her projects...a lot of time in fact, and doesn't act nearly as energetic as she used to. Could be a serious case of the mondays. Nonetheless, she feels the need to greet you anyway. "Heeeeey, Linda, is that you? Gooooosh, things are just so...gosh!"
Charlotte: (( She has a need for weed ))
Rosalinda : (( maybe we should move somewhere else besides lockers :V ))

Waka Jawaka:
@MT as per your usual random encounter walks, you see a young girl holding a drink, looking somber into the distance. She notices you, and seems to be a bit bewildered. "Weren't you just...over there?"

Rosalinda :
"Hey Reis! Umm...what do you mean?

Rosalinda :
"

Ignore the ominous camera
Charlotte: (( it's probably one of Darius's ))
Charlotte: (( (D) ))
Alloces: (( OKAY, NOW BACK ))
Alloces: (( MAYBE ))
Charlotte: (( NO YOU ARE NOT. ))
Alloces: (( And naw ))
Alloces: (( DArius' cameras ain't that obvious ))
Alloces: (( He may have put a secret camera inside that camera though ))

Maxwell:
"Oh, y'know. Think I saw him talking things up...with a few 'students.' I mean, who does that? If you ask me, I think he may be up to no good! Why, I'm pretty sure I saw Reis come out of his class real early in the morning, after our 7 AM robotics club disbanded! G-R-O-S-S!"
Charlotte: (( These are somewhat suspicious quotes (D) ))

Reis:
"What? Isn't it obvious? I just wanted to see what you were doing, of course! You sound so tense...hmm..."

Reis:
"Though I did wanna see what Merci was doing. I hear she was up all night taking care of some strange things. Might wanna look out for that..."
Alloces: (( actually changing it to background DOES work that way, Tirk ))
Alloces: (( you just have to set it to freesize ))
Alloces: (( and/or natural size ))

Charlotte:
"Hmm... that IS awfully early. Perhaps she's simply getting some extra help for the midterm? She was struggling a bit, last time I heard."

Rosalinda :
"Oh sorry, was having a pretty stressful Sunday, haha. I'll be more pepped up by lunch, I promise!"

Rosalinda :
"Annnd I think I have class with Merci after this...gonna check up on her then."
Charlotte: (( Was Reis the other girl in the library with Elo? It seems to be a new token ))

Maxwell:
"Extra help!? Richard NEVER did that for us before! Well snap, now he must be playing favorites or something!"
tirkaroKujo:
She was
tirkaroKujo:
though I gave her a slight token redesign in the middle of it
Charlotte: (( I kinda remember that now ))
Alloces: (( I assume she just used to be Holly ))
Cheryl: (( Why are Reis and Mercedes just AU Ci/Sen? ))
Alloces: (( naw, Sister Rosa is AU Sen ))

Reis:
"It's aallll goooood, Linda. Thought I saw Merci here and there before, but never got a chance to talk to her. Think she may be avoiding me... I wonder why? Try and talk some sense into her next class."
Alloces: (( Mercedes barely even suffers eternally ))

Charlotte:
"I have his Econ class in fourth period... would you like me to ask him on your behalf?"

Rosalinda :
"Eeesh, hope she's still not mad about what happened on Saturday..."

Maxwell:
"Keh keh, you can try, but I doubt you'll get any solid answers, keh keh!"
tirkaroKujo:
It's now time for your next class (or whatever class is most convenient)

Rosalinda :
"Alright, gotta head off to math class! See you during Film and/or Lunch, Reis!"

Reis:
Reis simply shrugs. "Seee yaaaah!" She shouts as everyone else heads off
Charlotte: (( ...well huh, that's convenient, assuming "MATH" classes all take place in the same room, all three of us are going to meet up here ))
Charlotte: (( that is to say, myself, Rosa, and Mercedes ))

Darius:
Rosa's not meeting anyone but me (SINISTER)

Darius:
whenever I wake up
Charlotte: (( me on my way out, them on their way in ))
tirkaroKujo:
also pssst, I said something to you MT
tirkaroKujo:
waaaay up there
Cheryl: (( Wha? It must've been mixed in with everything else. ))
Cheryl: (( Cuz I've been waiting on you o3o ))
tirkaroKujo:
But yes, I assume it's the dangit ronpaul class
Darius: (( Queen when did you become Dio ))
Darius: (( that shouldn't happen ))
Cheryl: (( I seeeeeeeeeee, gotcha. Found it ))

Charlotte:
Charlotte packs up her books and waits outside the classroom for either Rosa or Mercedes to show up - she should still have time to get to English after talking to them, if only just.
Rosalinda : (( so wait, ARE all math classes in the same room ))
tirkaroKujo:
they are now
Charlotte: (( It's a really, really shitty school. ))
Rosalinda : (( It depended on the class in my high school, so :V ))

Cheryl:
Cheryl looks at the girl for a moment before shaking her head, "Nope, sorry girly. Just came from that way." she replies, tilting her head towards the street behind her.
Charlotte: (( there are only 12 rooms. ))
Charlotte: (( 3 of them are janitor's closets ))
Rosalinda : (( geez, where exactly does this take place ))
Charlotte: (( NEW EASTON, BABY ))

Darius:
>mfw Stouffer's shitty lab has like five times as many rooms as your school

Darius:
>so many rooms it can dedicate one to specifically housing only parrots
Charlotte: (( (waiting) There's a fundraiser going on to install bathrooms ))

Rosalinda :
Linda swiftly heads to math class, hoping to see Merci there. "I wonder what exactly Reis was talking about..."

Charlotte:
wait, I thought THIS was the math room

Charlotte:
it's my first period after all, oh whatever
Darius: (( I thought you were like, 17, not 12 ))
Charlotte: (( I will rip your dick off ))
Darius: (( How're you going to do that after I cut your hand off ))
Darius: (( then mysteriously forget to attach the robo-hand ))
Charlotte: (( Wires. ))
Darius: (( I'll break em, now get back in character ))

Waka Jawaka:
You see nothing on the street "Weeiird. You'd think I'd be able to recognize a girl like you come the first time around. You play music, don't you?"
Darius: (( Also tirk you don't even read Arakawa Under The Bridge (D) ))
Darius: (( I know this, because nobody but Silver and I do ))

Charlotte:
Charlotte's eyes light up as first Mercedes, then Linda show up. "Oh, there both of you are! Perfect, I'm going to be cutting it close to get to my next class."

Charlotte:
"Linda, you still have it, right? You know what I mean."

Cheryl:
"Yeah, I do. That might be where ya know me from."

Rosalinda :
"Oh hey T- I MEAN Charfan- Er, Charlotte!"
Darius: (( And then Charlotte made a drug deal rather conspicuously in the middle of school. ))

Rosalinda :
"Uh yeah, I still have it, did you want it back?"

Mercedes:
Mercedes walks into class, staring intently at some notes. "Oh. Oooh. Hey there. You two." She looks back and forth, worriedly.

Rosalinda :
"Hey Merci! You got time to talk after I'm done with Charlotte here?"

Waka Jawaka:
"Nifty. What brings you out here? Not up to anything suspicious I hope?" She lifts herself off from the curb. "Here, wanna drink? It's lemonade, I'm not very thirsty." She says, holding a bottle of yellow lemonade towards you.

Charlotte:
"Oh no, no, don't worry about that, just keep it safe - hey, we have the same lunch, right? Mercedes found out that Mr. Richard might know something... oh, but then Maxwell... ah, nevermind what he said. Can you come with me to his classroom at lunch?"

Mercedes:
"Uh...actually, I really did wanna talk to someone soon. So hurry up."
Rosalinda : (( Do we all have universal lunch or ))
Rosalinda : (( I just assume it's after 3rd period :V ))
tirkaroKujo:
we do now
Charlotte: (( It was always after 4th for me ))

Cheryl:
"I'm...good, cheers though. Just out for a walk, beats the shit outta stayin indoors 'n shit all day, I s'pose."
Rosalinda : (( eh, after 4th it is then ))
Charlotte: (( or 5th, if you were particularly unlucky ))

Rosalinda :
"Yeah sure, see ya then!"

Rosalinda :
(that was at Charlotte)
Charlotte: (( or right in the MIDDLE of 4th ))
Charlotte: (( I still have no idea why they did that sort of thing ))
Rosalinda : (( (D) What kind of school has a lunch period in the middle of a class ))
Charlotte: (( I don't know. (waiting) ))
Darius: (( Mine did ))
Darius: (( I only had it once, but it was actually cool ))
Charlotte: (( I never had it, apparently it made for some really, really easy tests. ))
Darius: (( as it shortened your class by 5 minutes ))
Darius: (( Or mote ))
Darius: (( r* ))

Waka Jawaka:
"Yep. I'm out here for the same reason. Well, I should be in class right now, but y'know. I don't feel like it today. Or this week."

Rosalinda :
"Oh yeah, Merci, I was talking to Reis in art, and she said you were avoiding her? Is everything okay?"

Rosalinda :
"I hope it's nothing too serious..."

Charlotte:
Charlotte smiles and waves goodbye, hurrying off to English

Mercedes:
Mercedes grinds her teeth. "Is everything okay? With me, sure. With Reis? She should dam- I mean, darn know the reason why I've been avoiding her." Mercedes calms down and rubs her head. "These past few days, she's just been completely unbelievable...what does she expect?"

Rosalinda :
"Eh? What do you mean? You guys are like sisters..."
Charlotte: (( there's always a bad sister ))

Cheryl:
Cheryl shrugs once again, "Eh, hooky never killed nobody."

Mercedes:
"If we are, she completely betrayed that notion this past weekend. Something in her just seems to have...died. She shows no more respect for me, takes everything for granted, and thinks she holds some supreme power over me. Like I owe her something for putting up with her all these years."

Mercedes:
"It's like she's taking advantage of me, Linda. In fact, I'm starting to think you are too. Is there anyone left I can trust?"
Charlotte: (( damn talking being a free action ))
Charlotte: (( Should've stuck around ))

Rosalinda :
"What? No, you know I would never do that! You're one of my best friends, Merci..."

Rosalinda :
"When do we all have class together again? Film? Drama? Lets talk things out with Reis then."

Waka Jawaka:
The girl giggles. "That's what they all say. Still sure you don't want any of this lemonade? Really hate for it to go to waste and all..."

Rosalinda :
"Though if it really seems like I am taking advantage of you, I'm really sorry..."

Mercedes:
Mercedes holds her elbows and takes a deep breath. "I don't think you quite understand, Linda. Nor do I think you ever will. And Reis definitely won't."

Rosalinda :
"Merci please, I can't understand if you don't tell me what's exactly wrong. Aren't we friends..?"
Charlotte: (( She's gonna punch you in the face. ))
Rosalinda : (( hah, I'll parry it like it's 3rd Strike (D) ))
Clockwork Angel: (( you can trust the crazy man and the weird girl, Mercedes ))
Clockwork Angel: (( but uh, nobody else. ))

Cheryl:
"Not thirsty, thanks though..."
Clockwork Angel: (( Except me I guess, maybe ))

Mercedes:
"Y'know, lately, it's getting harder and harder to say that. But sure. We're still friends." Mercedes sighs. "I don't wanna lose anything here, but I have a really bad feeling about Reis these days."
Charlotte: (( dammit, I should've spent a story point to make Merci punch her in the face. ))

Mercedes:
"So sure. We'll talk about it later." Merci rolls her eyes and glues them back to the assigned work.

Rosalinda :
"I...*sigh*" Linda decides to focus on the math sheet as well.
Charlotte: (( Is it too late for me to do that? (hmm) ))
Charlotte: (( I want this to have proper resolution (D) ))
Rosalinda : (( agi, we're in the middle of a class (D) ))

Clockwork Angel:
*scales Agi up, making his resolution terrible*
Rosalinda : (( behave yourself (D) ))

Clockwork Angel:
If only I were there
Charlotte: (( You were in the halls, talking BEFORE class (D) ))

Clockwork Angel:
you little shits

Waka Jawaka:
Disappointingly, Waka puts the drink back in her coat pocket. "Well if you say so..." She looks off to the side, looking unfettered at the panicked man running her way.
Charlotte: (( disappointEDly, I'm gonna assume ))

Adel Zuan:
With a SCREEECH, the black-haired young fellow stops and begins panting. "O...okay, you told me to meet you here, right!?" He says quite confidently at you, Cheryl.
Clockwork Angel: (( Nope ))
Clockwork Angel: (( It was a Drink Of The Gods ))

Alloces:
NO

Alloces:
NO, ZUAN

Alloces:
THAT'S THE EVIL ONE

Alloces:
RUN WHILE YOU CAN
tirkaroKujo:
And so it is now your next class, which I'm not entirely sure what it is because Agi clearly put more thought into this than I am
tirkaroKujo:
*than I did
Charlotte: (( For me, English ))
Charlotte: (( er ))
Charlotte: (( if it's -3RD- period, then Gym ))
Rosalinda : (( I have Film, followed by Drama ))

Rosalinda :
Linda's favorite two classes were coming up next. Besides playing the drums, acting was here favorite thing to do. Linda swiftly heads to the film classroom.
Charlotte: (( Dammit, am I really going to have to pull up that image of Ron Paul in gym clothes ))
Charlotte: (( suffice it to say that such an image exists, but it's far, far too tiny to use. http://media.tumblr.com/29c1baacd245a21b4bdf0c0d2ea70eba/tumblr_inline_mrg3407CnC1qz4rgp.jpg ))
Charlotte: (( bottom-left, sitting on the ground ))

Lucy:
While studying the deep and inner meanings of Ghostbusters II, Lucy shimmies up to you and hands you a roughly-drawn book. She nods confidently, as if she's proud of whatever is inside.

Charlotte:
Charlotte gets in her school-assigned gym outfit and takes to the fields, the temperature being BARELY high enough to justify an outdoor day.

Rosalinda :
"...Lucy, please tell me I won't get in trouble for opening this...."

Rosalinda :
opening this in class*

Lucy:
"..." Lucy frowns and puts the book away.

Rosalinda :
Linda sighs and smiles. "Come on, let's just continue watching this Ghostbusters movie haha."

Cheryl:
"...aw shit. I know what's going on here." Cheryl shakes her head, "It's that goddamn other Cheryl again!"
Rosalinda : (( I have only seen parts of the first Ghostbusters ._. ))
Cheryl: (( They control the Statue of Liberty using an NES Advantage, thus hinting at the fact that Japan secretly controls us from within, mostly by making so many of our products and such. ))
Charlotte: (( Gym's pretty much as much of a free-for-all as you're going to GET for spawning NPCs, I wouldn't mind talking to someone but I understand the split ))
Cheryl: (( Those are the inner meanings of Ghostbusters II ))
Charlotte: (( whoa, here I thought it was about busting ghosts, or some gay shit ))
Cheryl: (( You call Ghostbusters gay again and I will rape your fucking face off in character and out : | ))
Charlotte: (( which is what I'm doing RIGHT NOW, playing with a gimp down arrow key may've actualy made me better ))

Adel Zuan:
"What? You can't possibly be serious, can you? You're also affected by my curse? Well say it isn't so!"
Charlotte: (( >200k+ before leaving the mines ))
Charlotte: (( I've got some nice ghost busting skills of my own ))

Clockwork Angel:
Well, I guess since it's suddenly noon, Darius can get up now. So let's make the split even bigger. Clockwork floats in through the door, having wandered around the lab for a bit while Darius slept. "Daaaaariuuus! I can't find Turner and Stouffer's room is locked and I'm bored, bored, bored! Get uuuup!" Unfortunately, the man doesn't move at all, content to just sit there and sleep for another day or three. "DARIUS!" The little angel flickers and flares when she yells, "You...you can't be thinking of disappointing me, right? Of ignoring me?"
Cheryl: (( Oh, you're just Ghost Running, you cheating whore (D) ))
Charlotte: (( well, this is the first time I've done ghost running in a while ))
Charlotte: (( I had the bombs, and god DAMN there were so many jewels ))

Darius:
At that second sentence, the man snaps up, stirred awake, and stares droopy-eyed but alert at his Replicant, "Er, no, I'd never think of it. No, you're more important than that, Clockwork. More'n the world."
Darius: (( hell is ghost running ))
Charlotte: (( Spooplanky ))
Darius: (( eat a ghost pepper, run for the ocean? ))

Jimbles:
Jimbles huffs forth, trying his best to keep up with the « 1d2 = 2 » 1= Dodgeball, 2= Football game

Clockwork Angel:
"I knew you'd see it my way! That way never fails! Now, I want to know so badly, what exciting adventures await us today?"

Clockwork Angel:
>NOT DODGEBALL

Clockwork Angel:
missed opportunity

Cheryl:
"...what?! Has everyone in this fuckin' city gone batshit insane?" Cheryl sighs and looks over at the young boy; "So what? You with that Sialia chick?"

Jimbles:
yeah fuck it let's make it dodgeball

Clockwork Angel:
Now it just means Jimbles can make a grab at Charlotte's ass
Rosalinda : (( I never really played Football that much in Gym :V ))
Jimbles: (( it's always that wimpy two hand touch version anyway ))
Charlotte: (( I just sort of assumed it was sprints and such. ))
Clockwork Angel: (( used to play some variant of dodgeball called scatterball ))
Charlotte: (( But hey, dodgeball is fun. ))
Clockwork Angel: (( where there were no sides and half the game was being a massive dick ))
Clockwork Angel: (( So basically dodgeball without sides ))
Rosalinda : (( Dodgeball was tha shit ))

Jimbles:
Jimbles catches the ball! "HAH! I got it! Youre out, you're out!" He yells victoriously, shortly before someone yells out "GANG UP ON THE NERD"

Charlotte:
>Athletics: 0

Charlotte:
« 1d10 = 9 » let's see how I'm doing today

Charlotte:
ooh, top of my game
Cheryl: (( You manage to throw the ball four whole feet today. ))

Jimbles:
"GAAAAH!" He yells, drowning in a pool of balls shooting at him like bullets.
Darius: (( sounds like Charlotte's nightly activities ))
Cheryl: (( So-FUCK YOU ))
Darius: (( (CHEW) ))

Charlotte:
Charlotte wipes the sweat off her brow, her game face ONE HUNDRED PERCENT ON today. Hers was one of the balls thrown. "Ha! Best not draw attention to yourself like that!"

Adel Zuan:
"S-S-Sialia!? So you DO know then! Now how are you supposed to change back to your other self..."

Cheryl:
"Tch, there's only one of me kiddo. There's some other chick runnin' around as me though, she's probably the one you're lookin for. 'pparently this chickie here has seen 'er."

Rosalinda :
Linda continues humming the classic Ghostbusters theme in class. "Dedededudu, GHOSTBUSTERS."
Cheryl: (( GHOST NAPPA! ))

Charlotte:
*oh my fuck who is that*

Juarez:
Somehow, you and this other student found yourselves being the only ones left

Darius:
The man clutches his head, as if he has a headache, "Uhh...I can't remember. Mind's all foggy, I can't think about anything bu--no, wait. It's cleared. First, let's check on that nun, then, the dead trobairitz."

Charlotte:
*is he on my side*

Juarez:
Not in the slightest

Charlotte:
*are you sure*
Cheryl: (( You're gonna get diiiiiiiiiiiiicked. ))

Juarez:
"I see...you've improved quite a bit over time, haven't you? Still, intend to hold my 53-game victory streak going with flying colors."
Darius: (( Well, he has no depth perception ))
Rosalinda : (( the bigger they are, the harder they fall. KICK HIS ASS ))
Cheryl: (( Nigga's like eighteen feet taller than you. You're gonna be his biiiiiiiiiiiitch. Or maybe he's super sensitive and you can make him cry. ))
Darius: (( Unfortunately you usually can't knock someone over with a dodgeball ))
Darius: (( Though he can. ))
Darius: (( charlotte's going through the wall/. ))

Charlotte:
"...ah... 53, is that all...?" She manages to stammer out. This is not a good situation for our heroine

Alloces:
« 1d10+3 = 3 + 3 = 6 » Shoulda just let me play

Alloces:
damn

Juarez:
Grabbing the ball, he sets himself into his siganture striking position. "Now let's get this over with."
Alloces: (( Unless I were to throw the ball at the wall (HMM) ))
Alloces: (( Then I could use Property Damage. ))
Rosalinda : (( MrDestructoid TAG ME IN COACH ))

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

Charlotte:
oh my god is this Dodgeball combat

Darius:
So, Darius and CA head out to the highway, to go check up on our resident saintly sinner.
Cheryl: (( DODGEBALL KOMBAAAAAAAAAAAT ))

Charlotte:
 2 FS used! Initiative (1d10): 1 + 0 = 1 Control (1d8): 4 + 1 = 5
Darius: (( What a whore. ))
Tokens dropped onto map 'Cobblestone2Revengeance' by player Thrice (Player)

Juarez:
Juarez uses 2 Fighting Spirit!

Charlotte:
Charlotte gives a quick look around the battlefield for any nearby balls to throw - finding absolutely nothing, she instead turns her focus to dodging the incoming ball, going on FULL DEFENSE SHIT

Charlotte:
Charlotte uses 3 Fighting Spirit!

Charlotte:
Evasion, naturally
Darius: (( best be using Evasion ))
Darius: (( or Tactics, to catch it ))

Juarez:
"Flying through my heart! Let soar heaven's heat! Let them hear my wild beat!" He tosses the dodgeball vigorously!
Darius: (( but you can't go on full defense with Tactics (waitig) ))

Juarez:
« 1d6+2+1 = 1 + 2 + 1 = 4 » "BALL BREAKER OVERDRIVE!!"
Darius: (( and you're immediately out ))
Darius: (( he jus couldn't miss ))
Charlotte: (( I, uh ))
Charlotte: (( went full defense, AND spent 3 FS on evasion. ))
Charlotte: (( I'm good. ))
Darius: (( Oh, you used FS ))
Darius: (( what a cheating whore ))

Juarez:
"I see...your speed is no longer something to be reckoned with. How much have you been training these past weeks?"
Charlotte: (( No longer something? Bitch I DODGED THAT (D) ))
Adel Zuan: (( *something to be reckoned with (ONO) ))
Adel Zuan: (( was going for "no longer something to take lightly" but ended up changing to that halfway through for some reason ))

Charlotte:
Charlotte leaps out of the way of the vicious fastball, tumbling along the ground as the impact crater swells to a diameter of 6 feet. "Ha... I've had a few chances here and there! Your throw's the same as it ever was though."

Charlotte:
"Terrifying. How are you even legal"
Charlotte: (( we gonna bother with a timer? I guess it's useful for marking the turn's over. ))

Dr. Phil Goodman:
The hospital is still where you left it. Though the staff seems to be slightly more stressed out today. "Oh, hey, it's you again. Here for..." he shifts his view back and forth "y'know, the lady, we're really not planning on making her location known to the public anytime soon."
Timer reset! 99 seconds on the clock!
Timer falls from 99 to 97!
Charlotte: (( now then ))

Juarez:
 2 FS used! Initiative (1d10): 7 + 0 = 7 Control (1d6): 1 + 0 = 1

Clockwork Angel:
"Ooh, did something happen? What is wrong with you all?"

Charlotte:
Whether or not the combatant successfully defends, using Full Defense allows him to roll one die larger for either Initiative or Control on the following turn with no FS cost

Charlotte:
ah, just one die.

Charlotte:
 2 FS used! Initiative (1d12): 7 + 0 = 7 1 FS used! Control (1d10): 3 + 1 = 4
Rosalinda : (( CALL FLOURISH ))
Charlotte: (( It's not Dramatic Combat, but man, that would be amazing. ))

Darius:
"You do seem on edge. But, more importantly, I'm concerned about that patient. You made it sound serious. When do you plan to operate on the girl? This doesn't seem like something that can wait."
Juarez: (( wouldn't normally do that, but omg dodgeball flourish ))
Darius: (( what is Flourish even supposed t orepresent? ))
Darius: (( Ultra-gay Jojo posing? ))
Cheryl: (( Blazing Fists match ))
Darius: (( Seems like it, ultra-gay Jojo posing but with fists ))
Dr. Phil Goodman: (( y'know that thing in DBZ budokai when you'd hit eachother at the same time and it flashed to this button mash prompt where the two players would hit eachother a lot ))

Charlotte:
Charlotte leaps over to the collection of dodgeballs she saw on the previous turn, then spins around and hurls one, two, three, endlessly at her opponent, as quickly as she can pick them up!
Charlotte: (( So what, was it just an opposed d10 roll\ ))
Charlotte: (( I assume the accuracy bonus for dodging via Evasion doesn't add to that? ))

Dr. Phil Goodman:
"It's more to do with the fact that 'she' is sort of the talk of the town right now. The last thing we need is to be flooded by overzealous media folk."
Charlotte: (( nope, unmodified. ))
Juarez: (( a raw d10 ))

Charlotte:
« 1d10 = 5 » "KIYAYAYAYAYA"
Darius: (( you done died ))
Charlotte: (( (waiting) I have story points, if needed ))
Darius: (( this guy's been in at least 1 session ))
Darius: (( he's got em too ))
Cheryl: (( Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay. ))
Charlotte: (( he has? ))
Darius: (( This one. ))
Charlotte: (( no ))
Cheryl: (( Only wusses use story points to get out of getting hit (D) ))
Darius: (( You get your point at the START of the session ))
Charlotte: (( IT'S DODGEBALL, MT ))
Charlotte: (( ONE HIT KOS ))

Juarez:
Following in her footsteps, Juarez punches the ground, making all the dodgeballs on his side jump up. With lighting precision, he punches them all with a flurry of blows towards your side "HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"
Charlotte: (( OH GOD (XD) ))
Cheryl: (( inb4 nat 1 ))
Darius: (( >Flurry of Blows ))
Darius: (( best take your -2 ))

Juarez:
For a good 10 seconds, the lighting storm of balls engulfs the gym until there's only one winner left... « 1d10 = 4 »
Charlotte: (( oh my god ))
Darius: (( tirk you gotta stop cheating to make the PCs win ))
Darius: (( there is no other explanation for this shit ))
Juarez: (( but I'm not doing anything    ))

Juarez:
Juarez loses 50 hit points.

Charlotte:
Through the chaos, balls clashing off of eachother in midair, the - aw man can't I fluff it
Juarez: (( sure do what you may ))
Darius: (( You sure you're not the yaoi doujinist? ))
Charlotte: (( SHUT UP (D) ))

Darius:
"That may be true, but it doesn't answer my question."

Waka Jawaka:
The lonesome girl looks off down the street. "Oh, look. There you are..." she says

Another Cheryl:
*Huff huff* The duplicate Cheryl comes rushing in, holding what looks like...a giant box. A box that could fit an entire person. It's amazing how she's able to hold it up and move it so fast.

Charlotte:
Through the chaos, DODGEballs bouncing off of eachother in midair, flattening to near paper-thin widths in the split-second of compression before flying back off just as quickly as they were thrown, a single stray ball takes a different route, ricocheting off of its double slightly below - continuing its path forward, but towards the ground as well! Upon landing, its absurd rate of rotation causes it to fly straight up, directly toward the giant's chin!

Dr. Phil Goodman:
"We already have been operating on the girl. This certainly -isn't- something that can wait. And as before, things don't look very good..."

Cheryl:
"Oi! You!" Cheryl shouts at the doppelganger as she runs past them; "You're makin' everyone fuckin' mix you up with me -AGAIN-!"

Juarez:
Blood flying off of his jaw, the giant man flies up and back, causing the ground to shake once his massive frame makes impact with the floor again.

Juarez:
From the giant 'WHAP' sound, you can faintly hear the words "I...Impossible..."

Darius:
"Hn, that's what I thought. And you're as helpless as she is to correct it. I suppose the only thing we can do is pray for divine intervention."

Charlotte:
Charlotte stands alone on the battlefield, gasping for breath in the silence which followed

Another Cheryl:
"Wha-AAAAAAA!" She jumps in terror as she realizes just who's standing besides the wimpy dude.

Clockwork Angel:
"Ohh, so she can be saved after all!"

Adel Zuan:
"Two of you? At the same time? Well no matter. We can perform the ritual here, right?"

Charlotte:
"A... ahaha, YEAH, how about that! New champ, everybody, whoooo!" She celebrates her unlikely victory, pumping her fists in the air.

Another Cheryl:
"A-A-Adel, y-you don't understand..."

Alloces:
THIS WOMAN IS THE MOST EVIL BEING TO EVER EXIST, ZUAN, LEG IT
Cheryl: (( Shut the fuck up, Hatty! ))

Alloces:
Well, third

Alloces:
after Charlotte and Linda

Jimbles:
After everyone is through being dumbfounded at the outcome of that match, Jimbles' lone voice pierces through the silence "YEEAAAAH! THAT'LL SHOW 'EM! WOOO!" Pretty soon the entire class joins in and lifts you up and all of that movie ending stuff
Darius: (( And so, Jimbles got to cop a feel in the end anyway. ))

Charlotte:
*GOD DAMMIT*

Cheryl:
"When people start talkin' about rituals around this fuckin' city, my stomach starts fuckin' turnin'..." She turns her attention from the double to Adel, "So what's this -REALLY- all about?"

Rosalinda :
Linda's still watching Ghostbustahs Deux with weird Yaoi loving girl

Juarez:
Wiping the blood off his mouth after everyone clears out upon class ending, Juarez ominously glances strongly to the side.

Charlotte:
*obliviously throws out peace signs to no one in particular, grins stupidly*

Charlotte:
Healed up!

Darius:
"Well, my apologies for bothering you. You should get back to work, do the best you can, without regard for how little that is."
tirkaroKujo:
and so it now spontaneously became your next class

Charlotte:
well that was a fun little diversion

Charlotte:
*reuses the Math classroom for econ*
Darius: (( Recon you say? Glad you agreed to help me out there, useless as you will be ))
Charlotte: (( Man, you already know I'm useful as shit for such things (D) ))
Charlotte: (( though speaking of, I really need to fix my "Knowledge" skill ))
Darius: (( even Clockwork will be useless for this ))

Adel Zuan:
"It's a very, very long story. None of it is very normal. I'm sorry..."

Another Cheryl:
"No, REALLY! You don't understand Zuan! We have to get out of here, QUICK!"

Clockwork Angel:
Speaking of My Little Abomination, she and Darius are now on their way to...the library, again, I suppose, if it's open.

Clockwork Angel:
If not, then I guess we're going to A Hard Place
tirkaroKujo:
it suuure is

Rosalinda :
Linda quickly heads towards the drama. Oh how she cannot wait to say to be or not to be: THAT IS THE QUESTION

Adel Zuan:
"I can't possibly see what you mean here. It's not like-" You begin to hear the sounds of a car zooming past- Zuan looks to the side, but it's too late.

Darius:
Seeing as this is the only library in the world without a librarian, Darius accesses the card catalog, searcing for any instance of Marian, Layfield, 50's music, and trobairitz.

Darius:
And yes I had to go look up her last name as I kept calling her Maid Marian.
Rosalinda : (( also, Reis and Merci should be in drama as well, right? ))

Cuba Classic:
A Cuba classic zooms in and hits the duplicate Cheryl, the full force of the impact sending her flying onto the pavement.
tirkaroKujo:
Sure, let's

Rosalinda :
Linda sees her two friends in class. "Hey you two! ^_^"
Darius: (( Why do the good die young (sad) ))
Darius: (( Can't the EVIL twin ever kick the bucket (D) ))
Darius: (( I mean, Al did. ))

Charlotte:
(Ahh... finally.) Charlotte's coming off of the rush of the dodgeball match, her head held high. It was time to see just what was up with Mr. Richard...
Darius: (( But he's the only one (D) ))
Charlotte: (( whoa, I blinked ))

Another Cheryl:
Just barely shielding the box from breaking, the battered Cheryl looks up as an ominous man rolls out from the hot rod.

Darius:
Also, do I need to spend any Story POints to get info here
Charlotte: (( Apparently doppel's getting ran over ))

Pollo:
"All right, I'm through with this. Which one of you jokers is the real deal?"

Cheryl:
"...the -REAL- one or the one you're lookin' for?! Cuz fuck, you're gonna have to be a bit more specific ya wanker!"

Mercedes:
Mercedes retains her silence, looking back occasionally.

Rosalinda :
"Oh right...come on guys, lets all have a little talk."

Reis:
"Yeah, come on! Is something the matter with you?"

Rosalinda :
"Reis...did you do anything to Merci this weekend while I was gone that made her unhappy?"
tirkaroKujo:
Yep, spend 1 story point @PC
Charlotte: (( nope ))
Charlotte: (( nothing while you were gone. ))

Adel Zuan:
"Sh-shit...what's going on here?"

Pollo:
"Y'know. The original. All that good stuff."

Darius:
Yeah sure, spending a story point, Darius rewrites the fabric of all time and space since the 1950's so that a book which never existed, now does, let's do this, now how useless is the book

Darius:
I bet she just contributed a shitty recipe to a vegan cookbook

Darius:
Did vegans exist in 1950 (HMM)

Cheryl:
"So wait a tick, you're not with 'im then? Cuz that Sialia chickie said somethin about some guy in a car named Porro or some shit, which is who I assume -you- are"
tirkaroKujo:
Marian Layfield was a semi-famous singer from New Easton's silver days. She played quite a few concerts back in the day, but her career was tragically cut short due to unknown means. Rumors say it was either a murder or suicide.
Charlotte: (( Murdercide. ))
Darius: (( Well, it could be both. Suicide's still murder ))

Reis:
"I'm not sure what you mean...it was just the same stuff we always do, right? C'mon, stop giving me the cold shoulder Merci, it's not very nice..."

Rosalinda :
"Yeah, come on, we're all friends here. If something's wrong, we all tell each other what it is."

Pollo:
"We WERE. But then SOMEONE here had to ruin this whole thing. So now we have no choice but to exterminate both her and whoever is in that casket."

Pollo:
"Seems there were two of you running around all this time. Good to know I have the foresight of an owl."

Darius:
"Only the last bit is truly new information. We can be sure she's dead now, I guess."

Cheryl:
"So you came to take care of that other Cheryl and you're workin' with that Sialia chickie, right?"

Mercedes:
"..." Mercedes finally breaks her silence. "Reis just isn't the same anymore. Isn't it obvious? Ever since these...incidents started happening..."

Rosalinda :
"Incidents? Go on..."

Clockwork Angel:
Clockwork perks up at that, looking away from her book, "A pity for her, but it means we get to try and fix it! Oh, this day gets better and better! How do we fix her again?"

Darius:
"I don't think Frankenstein will help here. What was the name of that book from yesterday... I never bothered to look up bringing a Replicant back, or taking it away."

Mercedes:
"She stopped taking me seriously, she walks all over me where she clearly has no right to, and...and let's not talk about the day where we went out together. It's like she goes out of her way to ensure being close to her can only end in misery."

Reis:
"..." Reis looks clearly discomforted, not quite sure what to say.

Pollo:
"Oh, you know Sialia too? Damn, she sure does get around...sadly, she doesn't know I'm here right now. No way in hell she'd let me do some extermination duties."

Rosalinda :
"...I don't know what to say..."

Rosalinda :
"But come on, Reis is a good person. I'm sure she didn't mean and would never try to hurt you..."

Pollo:
"Bah, I've said way too much. Now, get in the car Adel. We have no time left."

Adel Zuan:
"...." The wimpy man steps back. "I...I can't do that..."
Darius: (( Well, checked, and it don't look like Mercedes took the book with her ))
Darius: (( But I doubt there'll be much in there ))

Cheryl:
"Hrmmm...on one hand, I really don't like that obnoxious bitch's tone, so I sorta wanna kick the shit out of her lil' flunky. On the other hand, you're going against her orders, so that'd be sorta helping her if I kick your ass..." Cheryl taps a finger to her forehead mockingly, "Decisions, decisions..."
Reis: (( she indeed did not ))

Darius:
Darius searches through the catalog for the book's name, to the best of his memory; it was probably something like "PLOTPLOTPLOTPLOTPLOT" or "FOR FUCK'S SAKE READ THIS GOD DAMN"

Reis:
Reis begins clenching her fist. "I...is that really what you think? I mean, you can't possibly mean any of those things, right?"

Rosalinda :
Linda can feel the air getting tense. "Come on, we can all forgive and forget as long we don't do it again, right? You guys have been friends since forever..."

Darius:
But yeah - I'm searching for any information on people losing their Replicants, or stealing them, or even them hanging around after their partner's death

Mercedes:
"And as predicted, you respond to criticism in the most childish way possible. Why do I even try..."

Rosalinda :
"Merci! Don't be like that. She's trying her best to understand what's wrong."

Charlotte:
*and I'm, uh, going through class, business as usual*

Rosalinda :
"Come on Reis, please calm down..."

Reis:
"Merci, seriously! It's not like..it's not like I meant any of those things, okay!? If you seriously had a problem with...whatever I said..." Reis begins to sweat, grinding her knuckles together.
Rosalinda : (( man this heel turn from Merci ))

Mercedes:
"I don't believe anything that'll come outof your mouth will contain even the slightest hint of sincerity. You may as well not even-"
Rosalinda : (( is exactly what I would expect from pro wrestling these days ))
Darius: (( Mercedes is about to get slaughtered ))
Darius: (( by the evil-as-fuck Reis ))
Cheryl: (( Why's AU Sen being so mean to AU Ci? (SAD) The real Sen would be totally down with the groping (SAD) ))
Darius: (( she got too plot-important ))

Reis:
Reis loses it at that. Without even giving it a second though, she deilvers furious punch to Mercedes usually-unblemished face. "SHUUUUT UUUUP MERCI!"
Darius: (( She just SPLASHES ANGRY HAWAIIAN PUNCH on her face ))
Darius: (( Truly an act of evil ))
Charlotte: (( shit, REIS is the one to snap? ))
Darius: (( Nigga I told you ))
Charlotte: (( I thought she was doped up ))
Darius: (( She's either on jack or somehow being affected by Dr. Dick's love slave Replicant ))

Pollo:
"Oh for pete's- don't do this again Adel. That's it, come on over here. Hey, you, other Cheryl. Help me out over here, will you?"

Charlotte:
*I might know that second part, eventually*

Adel Zuan:
"D-Don't listen to him! Do something about him, quick! You're the only one who can here!"

Rosalinda :
"R-Reis!" Linda proceeds to seperate the two from each other.
Darius: (( Don't worry, Zuan, Al can go get your ass eventually ))
Darius: (( It's been like, 30 hours since he died ))
Darius: (( he'll be back up sometime ))

Rosalinda :
"Merci, are you okay...?"

Mercedes:
"Eeesh..." Mercedes gets up and rubs her bruised cheek.

Reis:
Covering her eyes, Reis storms out of the classroom.
Rosalinda : (( shit this is the part where I'm not sure who to follow ))

Mercedes:
"I can't say I didn't expect that..." She mutters

Rosalinda :
Linda proceeds to either stay with Merci(1) or follow Reis (2) « 1d2 = 2 »

Rosalinda :
"Merci...please, don't be mad at her, you guys are friends..." Linda proceeds to chase after Reis.

Cheryl:
"Tch, yeah. Sorry there, mohawk. But I'm really bad at takin' orders from tools like you, 'specially when you didn't even say 'please.'" Cheryl unstraps her guitar and holds it firmly, "'Sides, thought I told you your boss was a right bitch. If anyone's going to deal with -ME-" she starts, pointing at the downed Another Cheryl, "It's gonna be me."

Pollo:
"What? You can't possibly be serious here... God ffff....christ almighty." He groans

Rosalinda :
"Hey Reis, where are you..?"

Reis:
You manage to catch up to Reis at the last second. "Listen, I just...don't wanna deal with anyone else today, all right?"
Charlotte: (( -else? ))
Charlotte: (( or wait ))

Rosalinda :
"But why? Friends shouldn't be fighting..."
Charlotte: (( huh, it means the same thing either way ))
Darius: (( >friends shouldn't be fighting ))
Darius: (( YOU SHOULDA PLAYED IN A DIFFERENT SYSTEM, WOMAN ))
Rosalinda : (( B-but ))
Rosalinda : (( Bonds of friends is the true power    ))
Charlotte: (( she's not even a woman ))
Darius: (( Linda's a dude? ))
Charlotte: (( she's... something that was never properly established ))
Cheryl: (( I hate to run, especially right before a big ol' battle against Chicken ))
Cheryl: (( But my friend just texted me that he spun out on his moped and needs me to go get him. ))
tirkaroKujo:
Go ahead then
Darius: (( Go ahead, Tirk can handle Agi, Twilt, and I ))
Darius: (( or me, rather ))
MarthTrinity is disconnected.
Charlotte: (( Whyever would you disconnect ))
Darius: (( He's dead, don't ask him ))
Darius: (( I'm gonna assume I didn't find much of anything, right? ))
tirkaroKujo:
@PC the book doesn't mention much, but it does go into some radnom topics such as the fact that the Shiokaraiken had to overcome certain "trials"

Rosalinda :
"You can't just run away from your problems you know...Believe me, I tried."

Reis:
"Well maybe we should reconsider who exactly our 'friends' here are, y'know?"
Darius: (( So I've gotta pass the Test of the Starstone to become a degenerate angry gamer (HMM) ))

Rosalinda :
"...Reis, WE'RE friends right?"

Rosalinda :
Linda is starting to look a little disheartened...

Darius:
"I wonder if that means you're tested BEFORE you gain the power, or after? We might not be all we're cracked up to, Angel. Maybe we're not in our prime! Let's fix that, what do you say?"

Reis:
Reis takes a deep sigh. "Y'know, maybe she has a point. I have been pretty awful to everyone these past few days."

Clockwork Angel:
"Yes, yes! Oh, does that involve this little dead girl, or should we concern ourselves elsewhere?"

Rosalinda :
"Reis, I'm not trying to act like your mom here, but whatever it is that you did, you should apologize for it."

Rosalinda :
"And if Merci continues to be stubborn...I'll talk to her some more myself."

Reis:
"Not sure HOW, but everyone else has been reacting to me like I've punched their dog or something. What does everyone have against me, huh?"

Darius:
"She might still be relevant. And I'd hate to fail Stouffer. She might punch ME out of the window. Come on, we're going drinking." Darius leaves the library, content on what little he's found, and hops on his bike, headed for the only other lead he's got - A Hard Place.

Reis:
Reis takes another deep sigh. "Linda, I'd rather just go home now. Things haven't really been going my way."

Rosalinda :
"What about the rest of school? :/"

Reis:
"Forget the rest of school. Just tell everyone I got sick or something."

Rosalinda :
"Well...guess I won't stop you. I'll see you later alright?" Linda gives a small hug to her friend.

Reis:
"Yeah, yeah..." Reis gives another light hug bag, her mind still heavy.
Reis: (( hug back ))
Reis: (( ** ))

Rosalinda :
*Sigh* "Be safe now." Linda waves goodbye before heading back to drama class...

Rosalinda :
"Merci, are you still here?"
tirkaroKujo:
The Hard Place is kinda empty on a monday morning save for the usual sad drunkard here and there. A single bartender manages the place lazily in the meantime
Charlotte: (( Did I miss a prompt or something? ))

Mercedes:
"Yeah...sure am." She replies coldly.

Mercedes:
It seems she's recovered pretty quick, at least.

Rosalinda :
"I don't know what exactly Reis did, but she seemed pretty bad about it. I can't believe you would act so cold towards her."

Darius:
"Hey there. Give me a Black Adder, would you? Free time today..."

Clockwork Angel:
And now the most pressing question of all

Mercedes:
"Yeah, I'm sure you'd know everything about that, wouldn't you?" She replies. Her attitude doesn't seem like it'll shake up anytime soon.

Clockwork Angel:
What happens if I drink something

Clockwork Angel:
Guess I'm about to find out. "Oooh, can I have, uhm..do you have cider? Cider's good, right?"

Avery:
"Oooh, I see~!" The bartender squeals in a surprisingly high-pitched voice. "Feeling adventurous today, are we?" He hands you your drinks elegantly.
Charlotte: (( I'm going to take that as a no, then ))
tirkaroKujo:
I do want to know however, who exactly is currently in possession of the Psychic Wars now
Charlotte: (( Rosalinda ))
tirkaroKujo:
huh, sorta thought you traded back there
Charlotte: (( nah, I said she could keep it for now, no biggie ))
Charlotte: (( we were going to bring it up with Dr. Dick over lunch ))

Darius:
"You could say that. I'm a little interested in this bar, you know... I've heard it used to have some fine attractions in the past. Nowadays, all I hear about are fights. And a rumour of a singsong goddess from a couple days ago. Can you tell me...what was this place like, in its glory days?"
Darius: (( Yes ))

Rosalinda :
"I WOULD. Because she's my friend and I care about her!" Linda's starting to be a little frustrated with Merci now."I don't know why would you act like this without at least trying to resolve it. Do you think acting like a cold hearted bitch will fix anything?! Friends talk about their problems, you know. But hey, if you want to act like this, see if I care!"
Darius: (( Just give Dick your balls ))
Darius: (( Complete the set ))
Charlotte: (( it's only ONE ball (D) ))
Charlotte: (( 'sides, the set is a ball, a hand, and a soul (D) ))

Rosalinda :
Linda has clearly let her emotions get the better of her, She then proceeds to ATTEMPT to slap Merci as hard as she can.
Charlotte: (( >Slap ))
Charlotte: (( this girl punches, and you're gonna SLAP? (D) ))
Rosalinda : (( AS HARD AS I CAN ))
Clockwork Angel: (( MErcedes wasn't the one who punched ))
Charlotte: (( Reis was ))
Charlotte: (( wait ))
Charlotte: (( oh, she's... ))
Charlotte: (( she's talking to Merci ))
Clockwork Angel: (( I know, Linda's slapping the shit out of the victim ))
Charlotte: (( Merci just gets slapped twice. ))
Clockwork Angel: (( for uh, some reason ))
Charlotte: (( neat ))
Charlotte: (( well, go ahead and roll for that, then, since you're attempting ))

Mercedes:
She doesn't really do anything to stop you from slapping. She takes it like a champ, really.

Clockwork Angel:
"Ooooooh! I wonder how it was then, ever better than this!" Clockwork delicately balances the drink on her "arms," taking care to not spill it. She does, after all, have a B in Precision.

Mercedes:
Reeling back from your physical abuse, Mercedes stares at you unblinkingly, her status not changing a bit even with the red bruise on her face. The bell begins to sound off. "Fair enough I guess..."
Rosalinda : (( can I roll like a smooth talk roll? Y'know, to attempt to snap her back to her senses or something ))
Mercedes: (( not after that you can't ))
Rosalinda : (( oh and uh ))
Rosalinda : (( it was an ATTEMPTED slap ))
Rosalinda : (( I was planning to stop midway ))
Charlotte: (( and a succeeded one ))
Mercedes: (( Ooooh, well you shoulda said that ))
Darius: (( apparently ))
Darius: (( your attempt to stop failed ))
Darius: (( Or, technically, succeeded ))
Mercedes: (( then scratch that last post then ))
Darius: (( as your slap can sort of crumble mountains ))
Darius: (( So if you'd NOT tried to stop ))
Darius: (( her head would be in France ))

Rosalinda :
Linda stops before her slap can actually land. "Be honest...Did you think I would actually try and slap you?"

Rosalinda :
Linda notices the bell begins to ring. "...See ya." Linda proceeded to head for lunch.
Rosalinda : (( er not so fast ))

Avery:
"It it's glory days~? Well it all started, long, long ago, when I first got a job here, like, last summer, and all was well and good~"

Mercedes:
"Honestly, I'm not sure anymore. It wouldn't have been the most outlandish thing to happen..." She looks off as the bell begins to signal lunch time.
Darius: (( Damn, he's not the original bartender's grandson or something (sad) ))

Rosalinda :
"...I see. Well, see ya later in Gym I guess..." Linda THEN proceeded to head towards lunch

Rosalinda :
Linda looks back at her friend, while she's going away, saddened to see her act like this...
tirkaroKujo:
and so it is now officially lunch time, all that fun stuff
Rosalinda : (( tec fawk is the cafeteria ))
Rosalinda : (( teh even ))
tirkaroKujo:
I'm not even sure where the cafeteria is, so let's use generic floating space in space
Darius: (( As opposed to generic floating hyperdimension in nondimension? ))

Rosalinda :
Linda sits down, her heart still heavy, with her food. She's not quite sure what she should do...
Charlotte: (( uh... alright ))
Charlotte: (( Seriously, -DID- I miss a prompt? ))
tirkaroKujo:
a prompt for what
Darius: (( no, you're being ignored ))
Charlotte: (( I mean, you put Jimbles in there and everything ))
Charlotte: (( a prompt for me to do something ))

Rosalinda :
On the bright side, Linda packed her favorite ramen noodles, so it wasn't all bad as she dines in joy!

Clockwork Angel:
You're more bipolar than I am
tirkaroKujo:
Figured you were waiting until after class to do something
Charlotte: (( or an acknowledgement that I was, in fact, not doing anything, a response to any of my attempts to draw attention to that fact ))
tirkaroKujo:
once again
Charlotte: (( even saying "nah just wait until after class" woulda been enough ))
Darius: (( You were being ignored, aggs ))
Darius: (( just deal with it ))
Darius: (( Make it impossible to ignroe you ))
Darius: (( start a food fight ))
Charlotte: (( Well, I wasn't about to go giving Jimbles a wet willy ))
Darius: (( or give Jimbles a lapdance ))
tirkaroKujo:
What do you want to do
Charlotte: (( So yeah, I'll cut to immediately after the bell rings, then. ))
tirkaroKujo:
Yes, I figured that was what you were gonna do
tirkaroKujo:
now do so

Darius:
"Hah

Darius:
m
Charlotte: (( it'd be nice if you'd actually CHECK, or acknowledge that I'm checking on my own power, but yeah ))

Darius:
"Hah, a dead end here, too. Tell me, when do you change shifts?"

Charlotte:
Charlotte approaches the bad Doctor's desk after the bell rings. "Excuse me, Dr. Richard? Are you going to be in your classroom during the lunch period?"

D. Richard:
The doctor begins to put his things away, finally turning his attention towards the concerned student in front of him. "Oooh, HEY! Charlotte, my...girl I guess? What's the eatin' at you today, huh?"

Avery:
"Oh, I'm just the mornin' guy, y'know~! You'll have to wait until the afternoon guy gets here by around, oh...4 PM."
Rosalinda : (( is Lucy just sitting right next to me? lol ))
Darius: (( She's sitting ALL OVER you. ))

Lucy:
Lucy eats her lunch nonchalantly. Once you stroll in, THEN she finds it a decent enough time to show off the fruits of her labors.

Charlotte:
"Actually, I'd heard from Mercedes that you have some knowledge on a particularly interesting subject! I was hoping I could bring a friend or two of mine by to talk about it."
Rosalinda : (( I thought she was into dudes ))

Clockwork Angel:
"Oh, oh, and he works until 3?! How dedicated!"
Rosalinda : (( >Fruits of her labors ))
Rosalinda : (( what does this mean tirk (D) ))
D. Richard: (( it's the book, TWILT, it's the book ))

D. Richard:
"Huh? A subject? A friend or two? Now what could you possibly be concocting here, I say?"

Rosalinda :
"OH heey Lucyyyyy, HEY Uh, might wanna be careful about flashing that book in public..."

D. Richard:
"You've caught my attenion! How about you tell me right here and now, hmm? I'm a very busy man after all!"

Darius:
"Sorry to disappoint, but I'm afraid one drink is all I have time for, after all. But I shall be back later, count on it."
Juarez:
Suddenly, a huge man walks on in, bandages covering his jaw. "MindifIsitherethankyou." He rapidly belts out before sitting down, his weight nearly crushing the table.

Charlotte:
"The... oh, what was it now, Shin...shorayuken? Something like that? Oh, I only got the briefest of looks at the book... the occult, ancient cultures, that sort of thing, and how it ties in to recent events. There are quite a few theories flying around, you know!"

Juarez:
*I'm too ashamed for my face
Rosalinda : (( do I happen to be associated with him ))

D. Richard:
The teacher's eyes light up. "The...shi...you wouldn't happen to mean the Shiokaraiken, right? Naaw, no way you would..."
D. Richard: (( not directly, this is the first time he's ever really sat at this part of the table. Seems like he's avoiding his usual spot. ))

Charlotte:
"Shiokaraiken, that's it!"
Rosalinda : (( I've nneeeveer talked to him before? ))
Jimbles: (( you probably have, at some point, but never really put him in your list of associated ))
Jimbles: (( *associates ))

Jimbles:
"Heeerheehreeeeh! Well look who the cat dragged in! Sure hope you had fun, getting the snot pounded out of you by-"

Juarez:
Juarez flashes a menacing glare at the nerd

Rosalinda :
"Oh hey, Juare- Eeesh, what happened to your face?"

Jimbles:
"Eep! I mean, you look even better than ever sir!"

Darius:
Darius departs from the dirty dive, and heads toward...huh, well, now where do I go to kill time.

Charlotte:
"And in fact... well, let's just leave that for later, right? Can I count on you to be here?" She smiles and clasps her hands together.

D. Richard:
The teacher looks down at his papers. "Oh. Ooh..."

D. Richard:
Rubbing his chin, Richard regains his smile in an instant. "Can you count on me? The real question is, can I count on -you-?"

D. Richard:
"I'm serious about that. Visiting me after classes are over is gonna be mandatory."

Charlotte:
"O-oh..." she looks down, crestfallen. "You're busy during lunch, then?"

Juarez:
"...my 53 game winning streak came to a crushing end today. Not even by one of the dodgeball legends, but from the place where I least expected it..."

D. Richard:
"Eeeh, only slightly. I'm interested now though..."

Rosalinda :
"Ohhh...I'm really sorry to hear that. At least you lost to someone worthy right?!"

Darius:
I seem to have little other leads, and uh, none of the ones I HAD led anywhere, so (HMM)
Charlotte: (( I'm not totally sure if Richard's done saying all he had to say there - but just to confirm, he's the only person I've seen in the school with a Replicant, right? ))

D. Richard:
"You said you were planning on bringing other friends, weren't you? I do wonder, just who are them, and just what do they have to do with all of this Shiokaraiken nonsense?"
D. Richard: (( and yeah he probably is ))
D. Richard: (( besides Linda ))

Juarez:
"Worthy? Hmm...I guess you could say that."

Jimbles:
"Hah, you're just mad you totally got owned by one of us nerds, didn't you? A nerd girl, no less! Huuhuuhaaahaaa~!" Juarez immeditately grabs Jimmy by the throat. "I mean, yeah, totally worthy!" He says under his breath
Darius: (( Howl ong's it been since I was at the hospital (HMM) ))

Rosalinda :
"Nerd girl...hmm...wouldn't happen to be someone named Charlotte, would it?"
Jimbles: (( for the sake of convenience, probably, like ))

Jimbles:
4 hours? It's probably 1:30 where you are
Jimbles: (( * ))
Darius: (( w-what ))
Darius: (( Darius woke up at noon ))
Jimbles: (( make it 4:30 then ))

Charlotte:
"Ah... well, I'd meant to bring Merci, of course, to corroborate what we found out last night, and Rosalinda. And let's just say..." here she gives a knowing wink, "that I've seen that assistant of yours, and have some idea of what that means. People in the know should know eachother, right?"

Juarez:
"Wh-wha? How did you even know...Damn those lowlier underclassmen."

Rosalinda :
"Ah! I knew it! She's a friend of mine, so I haaad a hunch... >:3"

D. Richard:
The teacher shuffles through his papers. "Aaaaaah...." He drones. "I see how it is then...."

Rosalinda :
"No shame in losing to someone like her though. Even if you're someone as a tough as yourself." Linda's doing her best not to giggle.

Darius:
"They should be done with the surgery, now, but it's best to wait just a bit longer. For now, how about we go and see that...Mam--no, it had to've been Mimmy, from the other information, Stouffer must have been wrong."

D. Richard:
The teacher puts his papers away and takes out his teaching stick. "Good job there, missus! Sadly, I can't let that happen! Sorry!"

Charlotte:
"I'm sorry?" Charlotte's not quite sure what to make of this.

Rosalinda :
"Speaking of Charlotte, where is she? I was supposed to meet her at lunch -_-"
Charlotte: (( You were supposed to meet me HERE, yeah, but hey ))

D. Richard:
He whacks the pointing stick on his hand, with whip-like intensity. "I'm saying, you're not really allowed to know about this stuff, y'know? Oh, I've been ever so clumsy, haven't I? Here I thought nobody else was able to comprehend my secret! I shoulda known better!"
Rosalinda : (( YOU TOLD ME AT LUNCH ))
Rosalinda : (( I ASSUMED THE CAFETERIA OR SOMETHING (D) ))
Charlotte: (( I said at lunch, yes, as in the time (waiting) ))

D. Richard:
His 'assistant' phases to his side. "Now, you can make this quick and easy, or we'll have to do this the hard way. You wouldn't want that, would you?"
Darius: (( Damn it Agi ))
Darius: (( you don't just throw yourself at the Dick ))

D. Richard:
"It's perfectly safe, of course. With my ability, I can easily remove this pesky bit of uneeded knowledge from your mind, and we can all go about this as happy as a clam!"
Charlotte: (( Shit, he's Gorodn. ))
Charlotte: (( *Gordon ))
Darius: (( perhaps it was Erase Rotic ))
Darius: (( The question is, are you sexually aroused by Shiokaraiken (HMM) ))

Charlotte:
"Now hold on there, Dr. Richard - " she takes a step back, and holds a hand out. "I mean no offense, we're on the same side here. Don't be rash."

Darius:
Lessee here, does Darius know where Tri-Query holds his office
D. Richard: (( Tri-Query's 'office' so to say surprisingly isn't particuarly hidden out of the way, so you've probably come across it once or twice. ))
Darius: (( Well I more menat if he knew ??? was THERe, rather than where the building was ))
Darius: (( But I'll assume so ))

D. Richard:
The doctor unfastens his tie. "Rash? Me? Oh I already know what I'm doing here. If anything, it's -you- who's being so rash in this case! All I wanna do is protect you from those silly little memories of yours."

Clockwork Angel:
So yeah, unless the door's locked, the two miscreants stroll right into the office, and see if they can get a meeting with ??

Clockwork Angel:
?

D. Richard:
"After all! It is my duty as a teacher to keep my students safe, no?"
D. Richard: (( ???'s door is locked, yes, but there's a doorbell there ))

Charlotte:
"We all have our secrets, and in no way do I mean to out you of yours, if you want to stay hidden. Your duty as a teacher is to educate, and removing knowledge seems to be the opposite of that intention."

Clockwork Angel:
Clockwork since I don't feel like changing tokens rings the doorbell, hopefully with enough finesse so as not to stab the shit out of it

ThatDM:
aaaaaaaa

ThatDM:
There is still a lot of stuff to do here, and I wouldn't wanna end on a cliffhanger

ThatDM:
but for the sake of my mind not erupting into 50 pieces, I'm gonna have to call an end here

Charlotte:
huh, alright

Rosalinda :
So we done

ThatDM:
as you could tell, I was not in the best of shape tonight, in fact my eyes are kinda crawling out of their sockets right now begging for sweet release

Clockwork Angel:
no, that means we keep going

ThatDM:
so
NEXT TIME ON SHIOKARAIKEN

ThatDM:
stuff happens I guess
ThatDM: (( TO BE CONTINUED ))
Unknown command: "EMIT NO THAT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE EMITTED GO DDAMMIT". Try /help for a list of commands.

Charlotte:
I'll talk my way out of this just fine, my composure isn't even broken

Charlotte:
That was a nice ego boost last period

Charlotte:
Unless he's just Adel Zhen

Charlotte:
or Adel Doppel

Charlotte:
or something weird.

ThatDM:
He's Diego Umejuarez

Charlotte:
Well good, I'll knock him down just like the other Juarez

ThatDM:
but naw he's certainly something

Clockwork Angel:
I was sorta hoping we wouldn't spend so much time in the school timezone (waiting)

Charlotte:
I think that must've been my fault, really, by actually making developed schedules.
