  1. Feb 16 18:33:57 <Aori_Radidjiu> Tuesday, May 25th, NOON O' CLOCK. After having received your Sacrifice Badges, you're now all at a table with Shadow Claw, who's ready to answer ~questions~. And then after that you guys can figure out what you're doing in Sepia besides the badge. The room's Kantonese in look, with rectangular thin (but sturdy) panels serving as the walls, and the actual (sliding) door closed at
  2. Feb 16 18:33:57 <Aori_Radidjiu> the moment, giving an impression of being in a box. There are candles on the table, the only source of light in this room, spread out evenly across it, giving the room a dim (but adequate) lighting. You can hear the muffled sound of the rain pummeling the gym's roof. Shadow Claw is seated at the head of the table, which, by the way, doesn't have chair or anything, just sitting cushions,
  3. Feb 16 18:33:59 <Aori_Radidjiu> so everyone's squatting at this table, some more improperly sat than others.
  4. Feb 16 18:35:18 <Aori_Radidjiu> The table has six seats, of course, which is JUST ENOUGH for everyone here.
  5. Feb 16 18:38:27 <Med> "Actually, Knives was hurt really badly in that fight..."
  6. Feb 16 18:38:59 <Melons> Melanie clears her throught and faces Shadow Claw, though she refuses to actually look him in the eye. "There's a number of things I wish to speak with you about. There's...Med, of course, both what she is and what I've done to her. There's also some things about the rest of the family I'd like to ask about, which could certainly help in our pursuits. There's your relation with my family which is a personal inquiry. And...a ques
  7. Feb 16 18:38:59 <Melons> tion on a number of other phenomena that I simply need your help in discerning. Where should we begin?"
  8. Feb 16 18:41:53 <Aori_Radidjiu> The Kitsunoh that Med fought has curled up on the table, in between two of the candles. Shadow Claw gives a nod to Med. "I'll have Skadi handle it." He snaps his fingers, and a Froslass pops up through the table, with a nurse hat on its head. It pulls a portable healing machine out of its kimono and sets it down on the table, before winking and going up through the ceiling, disappearing.
  9. Feb 16 18:42:45 * Med isn't a pokemon nurse, h-how do these machines work? SHE HASN'T GONE TO MEDICAL SCHOOL FOR EIGHT YEARS TO FIND OUT HOW TO PUT POKEBALLS INTO POKEBALL SLOTS T_T
  10. Feb 16 18:44:31 <Aori_Radidjiu> "You're the daughter of the Ipu family, right? My father arranged for me to live in the tutoring facility your family owns for a while, and I took lessons there. I think we've met before, right?"
  11. Feb 16 18:45:23 <Melons> "The one and only." OhgodwhatifI'mnottheoneandonlywhatifI'macloneandthisisa- "I believe we have."
  12. Feb 16 18:47:09 * Mackenzie just sits quietly in his seat and listens actively, paying attention to speakers and whatnot, but markedly not making any eye contact with or acknowledging Med. Feigning pleasantness!
  13. Feb 16 18:47:14 <Aori_Radidjiu> "That's about the jist of our family relation, I don't know terribly much about how your father and my father met."
  14. Feb 16 18:48:38 <Melons> "Speaking of your father, he's around? I mean I understand he's a ghost but...well he's a ghost."
  15. Feb 16 18:48:52 <Med> 3d6+6 intuition: MACKENZIE HATES ME
  16. Feb 16 18:49:02 <Aori_Radidjiu> "You want me to call him? He's gotten fond of long naps."
  17. Feb 16 18:49:13 * DiceMaid-9001 (DiceMaid-9@sux-EADD5C74) has joined
  18. Feb 16 18:49:30 <Melons> "I suppose he could also help with my questions..."
  19. Feb 16 18:50:22 <Med> 3d6+6 intuition: sense the ire within the mackenzie. can't spell mackenzie without ie, and cant spell ire without ie. that's how this works, right?
  20. Feb 16 18:50:23 <DiceMaid-9001> Med, intuition: sense the ire within the mackenzie. can't spell mackenzie without ie, and cant spell ire without ie. that's how this works, right?: 18 [3d6=4,5,3]
  21. Feb 16 18:50:41 <Mackenzie> 4d6+1 mask hating med
  22. Feb 16 18:50:42 <DiceMaid-9001> Mackenzie, mask hating med: 9 [4d6=1,3,1,3]
  23. Feb 16 18:50:58 * Melons quietly unsheathes her sword and places it on the table. "The facts of our current reality are very nearly as dumb as one of Mackenzie's movies..."
  24. Feb 16 18:51:04 <Aori_Radidjiu> 13 is an unlucky number, getting it twice is double unlucky
  25. Feb 16 18:51:55 <Aori_Radidjiu> Med, you can just SEE the fumes coming off of Mackenzie, he's pissed
  26. Feb 16 18:57:25 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Well, if I must..." He gets up from the table, going into a door (different from the one you guys used) and then after he shuts it, you hear him yell out "WAKE UP OLD MAN, WE'VE GOT GUESTS" at the top of his lungs, followed by a racket that sounds like he's hitting things with a sledgehammer. Shortly after it subsides, he comes back, with a translucent apparition of a man behind him.
  27. Feb 16 18:58:24 <Melons> 2d6-2 But is Mack so angsty that even Mel can tell?
  28. Feb 16 18:58:25 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, But is Mack so angsty that even Mel can tell?: 7 [2d6=4,5]
  29. Feb 16 18:58:49 <Aori_Radidjiu> WOOP RIGHT OVER MEL'S HEAD
  30. Feb 16 18:58:56 <Melons> Acting.
  31. Feb 16 18:59:01 * Med doesn't know what to do or say about an angry mack, but sudden ghost dad is more important anyway. "Papa! Good morning."
  32. Feb 16 18:59:17 <Aori_Radidjiu> http://i.imgur.com/Q7kfZRO.jpg
  33. Feb 16 18:59:32 * Ramiel is now known as Lesiesli
  34. Feb 16 18:59:42 <Melons> Just HOW translucent we talkin'?
  35. Feb 16 19:00:07 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Oh..." ... "Hello Med." Shadow Claw shrugs. "He's gotten a bit slow, give him time to respond."
  36. Feb 16 19:00:38 * Med gets up to hug him. Sort of. She's good at hugging things not meant to be hugged, so surely she finds a way.
  37. Feb 16 19:01:03 <Aori_Radidjiu> 50% translucency
  38. Feb 16 19:01:12 <Med> 6d6+6+2 hugging is part of charm, right? it's a charm subskill, right?
  39. Feb 16 19:01:13 <DiceMaid-9001> Med, hugging is part of charm, right? it's a charm subskill, right?: 20 [6d6=4,1,1,1,2,3]
  40. Feb 16 19:01:20 <Aori_Radidjiu> Pappy airhugs Med back
  41. Feb 16 19:01:25 * Melons silently watches Ghostdad and Med.
  42. Feb 16 19:01:41 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Who...are..." ... "...our guests?"
  43. Feb 16 19:02:59 * Med looks to see if Shadow Claw's got this one, or if she should explain it.
  44. Feb 16 19:03:21 * Melons is a bit too unnerved at actually seeing people ghosts to speak first.
  45. Feb 16 19:05:55 * Mackenzie is just satisfied with being able to maintain a Melons-fooling composure. He probably also still has Cindy out and nearby.
  46. Feb 16 19:06:22 <Aori_Radidjiu> Cindy's a little worried that Mack's heat is going to boil over and melt her
  47. Feb 16 19:07:07 <Aori_Radidjiu> Shadow Claw motions for Med to start.
  48. Feb 16 19:07:12 <Aori_Radidjiu> the introducing
  49. Feb 16 19:07:13 <Aori_Radidjiu> thing
  50. Feb 16 19:08:07 <Med> "My ex-coworkers. They're supposed to be the ones fixing everything... but they don't even know half of the stuff they're supposed to fix."
  51. Feb 16 19:09:28 <Aori_Radidjiu> "That's..."
  52. Feb 16 19:09:28 <Aori_Radidjiu> ...
  53. Feb 16 19:09:29 <Aori_Radidjiu> ...
  54. Feb 16 19:09:39 <Aori_Radidjiu> "...what troubleshooting is for...right?"
  55. Feb 16 19:10:26 * Mackenzie has his hands resting on his thighs. His left index finger begins tapping.
  56. Feb 16 19:11:16 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Any...way...I guess...names...are in order...yes?"
  57. Feb 16 19:11:31 <Melons> "Melanie Ipu."
  58. Feb 16 19:11:40 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I'm...Akio...Mizou...and you all are-...Ipu?"
  59. Feb 16 19:12:08 <Melons> "Yes, the ones you presumably know."
  60. Feb 16 19:12:14 <Mackenzie> "...Mackenzie Frazier."
  61. Feb 16 19:12:22 <Aori_Radidjiu> He suddenly dashes through the table right over to you, getting a closer look. "Their daughter?" His voice isn't nearly as slow, now.
  62. Feb 16 19:12:49 * Melons flinches something fierce. "A-AsfarasIknow!"
  63. Feb 16 19:13:53 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I can see the resemblence..." He nods, then takes a look at Mackenzie. "Oh, the man from the movies?"
  64. Feb 16 19:15:08 <Melons> "G-Grandpasayhello!" A trembling finger points at the sword.
  65. Feb 16 19:15:39 <Med> "He was my boyfriend, papa - but now he's just mad at me, because... I dunno! I guess he didn't think I was really a demon."
  66. Feb 16 19:18:26 <Mackenzie> "Indeed. Are movies still--That's hardly the issue, Med, but this isn't an appropriate venue for sorting these things out."
  67. Feb 16 19:18:55 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I remember you from The Bride Princess, you were brilliant in that movie." He nods, then grimaces at th emention of demon. "I have trouble thinking that as well."
  68. Feb 16 19:19:29 <Aori_Radidjiu> The sword on the table pops up about now, its eye opening,a nd taking in Meddad. Meddad takes it in. They have a bit of a staring contest.
  69. Feb 16 19:19:43 <Aori_Radidjiu> Akio'
  70. Feb 16 19:20:10 <Aori_Radidjiu> s the first to speak. "A possessed blade? Seems friendly, this isn't about an...exorcism...is it?" He's starting to slow up again.
  71. Feb 16 19:20:47 <Melons> "If you exorcise my grandfather, I'm going to find out if you function like a ghost type." A joke! A threat? Who the fuck knows.
  72. Feb 16 19:22:23 <Aori_Radidjiu> Akio squints. "...oh, I see, is that Isaac's father...? Interesting..."
  73. Feb 16 19:24:26 <Aori_Radidjiu> Swordy speaks up about now. "So you're that Mizou boy, eh? Seems I might have upstaged you, I'm far more lively!"
  74. Feb 16 19:24:45 <Aori_Radidjiu> Akio sighs. "It's easier when you're in an...object..."
  75. Feb 16 19:25:06 <Melons> Dude, objectifying people isn't cool.
  76. Feb 16 19:28:35 <Melons> "We'd like to know the nature of Med's, and two more Mizous actually, condition as far as you know. We've learned that it's similar to shadow pokemon, and presumably Team Aether was involved, but what we need is the relation they have with your family."
  77. Feb 16 19:31:05 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Ah, before we continue..."
  78. Feb 16 19:31:20 <Aori_Radidjiu> He motions to Mirai and Lesieli. "Who are these two?"
  79. Feb 16 19:33:23 <Melons> Mel suppresses a groan, not wanting to have to deal with pleasantries for a GHOST, but she probably shouldn't act like Mirai isn't a people right in front of her. "Lesieli is an original member of the crew, and Mirai joined us to help out...and...is...my girlfriend..."
  80. Feb 16 19:33:48 * Lesiesli waves slightly
  81. Feb 16 19:34:04 <Aori_Radidjiu> He gives a nod to both of them, although he lingers at Liesiesli. "...have we met?"
  82. Feb 16 19:37:35 * Lesiesli 's eyes wander puzzingly ". . . no?"
  83. Feb 16 19:37:48 <Melons> "She's a god or something."
  84. Feb 16 19:38:02 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Hmmmm...can't quite put it...oh well."
  85. Feb 16 19:39:19 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Anyway...on my wife and the younger of my daughters..."
  86. Feb 16 19:43:42 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I loved Cassandra very much...but that wasn't the only reason I ended up together with her. I had...a curiosity...a fascination...with whatever that thing that was attached to her was. It certainly wasn't a natural part of her, but it had its roots buried very deeply in her."
  87. Feb 16 19:45:30 <Aori_Radidjiu> "She could be very sweet, very loving...but that thing slowly drove her darker and darker, whatever it was. It was...similar to a spiritual presence, you could call it a parasite of sorts..."
  88. Feb 16 19:46:09 <Aori_Radidjiu> "All of my children...were born with it to some degree...but I was able to remove it from them...when they were still yet young...except for the last two. It was too deeply ingrained in them...just like with her."
  89. Feb 16 19:48:57 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Is that...good enough...?"
  90. Feb 16 19:49:26 <Melons> "Hm....do you think the other two can be saved? At least as much as we've been able to recover Med."
  91. Feb 16 19:50:10 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Not through...my means. It would likely need...some kind of intervention...by..."
  92. Feb 16 19:50:32 <Aori_Radidjiu> "...I'm not sure. A purifying catalyst of some sort, probably a pokemon...capable of cleansing."
  93. Feb 16 19:52:07 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Med...it...still has a strong hold on her. You may want...to loosen it...somehow."
  94. Feb 16 19:52:53 <Melons> "Well, I think that's about as much as we'll know for now. Suppose we should look into this cleansing bit...Lecia or Lesieli might have ideas about what could do that?" Because Occult shit never cleanses. ;-;
  95. Feb 16 19:53:23 <Med> (cleanse tags cleanse)
  96. Feb 16 19:53:41 <Melons> (Something of a misnomer, they ward more than they cleanse)
  97. Feb 16 19:54:01 <Aori_Radidjiu> (^)
  98. Feb 16 19:54:08 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Are there...other...questions?"
  99. Feb 16 19:54:12 <Med> (you just arent using them well enough)
  100. Feb 16 19:54:25 <Med> (just give them enough power to ward things from existence itself, and it's basically cleansing!)
  101. Feb 16 19:54:31 <Melons> "Regardless...how did you know my father?"
  102. Feb 16 19:59:55 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Ah, it was when I was wandering..."
  103. Feb 16 20:01:01 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I was asked by a local college to give a bit of a talk about...what I do...and Isaac was there...he asked a bunch...of questions...and we ended up...becoming friends."
  104. Feb 16 20:01:56 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I'd visit him...whenever I was in the area...I didn't meet Maple until...one of my later trips...did not know her well."
  105. Feb 16 20:02:46 <Aori_Radidjiu> "He asked me...to help him investigate something local...a dark presence in the area...and we worked together to exorcise it...and that was when...I realized how competent of a trainer he was."
  106. Feb 16 20:03:03 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Most of the Pokemon...I used during my tenure as Gym Leader...got tutoring from him."
  107. Feb 16 20:03:45 * zooftop (zoofsama@sux-D2CC63B3.hsd1.nj.comcast.net) has joined
  108. Feb 16 20:04:47 <Melons> "A dark presence? Was that in Snowpoint or somewehre else?"
  109. Feb 16 20:05:12 <Aori_Radidjiu> "It was...by Snowpoint...yes."
  110. Feb 16 20:06:02 <Melons> "Huh...I should ask him about that sometime...I think that's all I wanted to ask of you specifically. Anything else, I'm sure M- Shadow Claw here could help me with."
  111. Feb 16 20:06:48 <Aori_Radidjiu> There's a loud booming thunder outside as Mel pronounces that 'M'
  112. Feb 16 20:08:42 <Aori_Radidjiu> Akio nods, and then begins fading out.
  113. Feb 16 20:08:59 <Aori_Radidjiu> Shadow Claw sits back in his spot now. "Now, where were we...?"
  114. Feb 16 20:10:11 <Mackenzie> "Where did you get that pokemon Cindy here faced? I've never seen anything like it." He seems less on fire, somewhat.
  115. Feb 16 20:10:48 <Med> "Bye, papa!"
  116. Feb 16 20:11:19 <Melons> "Um...Med?" She turns away from the Claw for a bit, though keeps an ear out for the answer to Mack's question.
  117. Feb 16 20:12:14 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Oh, you mean Necturna? I got that and my other friend here, the Kitsunoh" He gives it a pet, and it gives a ~
  118. Feb 16 20:12:40 <Med> "Hm?~"
  119. Feb 16 20:12:50 <Med> 6d6+6+2 charm Melons with a hm~ and a head tilt
  120. Feb 16 20:12:50 <DiceMaid-9001> Med, charm Melons with a hm~ and a head tilt: 28 [6d6=1,3,4,5,5,2]
  121. Feb 16 20:12:51 <Aori_Radidjiu> "At the old mansion. It was a bit dangerous, though. I wouldn't suggest looking for things there unless you're really confident in your strength."
  122. Feb 16 20:12:56 <Melons> "I...um..." Mel kneels in front of Med. "I want to extend a formal apology for what I did to you Med. I will accept any judgment you decide as penance." OhgodIdon'twanttodothatatallhopefullyshe'sallsmilesandrainbows.
  123. Feb 16 20:13:18 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I do have eggs from the two of them, though, i fyou're interested."
  124. Feb 16 20:15:13 <Mackenzie> "Oh, as part of the prize package deal? At this point I'd be more interested in what sort of TM you may have to offer. Or whatever other options."
  125. Feb 16 20:16:04 * Med blinks. "Umm... I don't really know what to say about that... I'm sure my demon side would say something like 'be my slave,' but... that seems a little weird~"
  126. Feb 16 20:17:09 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Ah, yes, the prizes..."
  127. Feb 16 20:17:31 <Aori_Radidjiu> He snaps his fingers and 2000 PY falls on the table at each of your spots. "That's your up front reward"
  128. Feb 16 20:17:58 <Melons> "You'renotangryhowareyounotangry?"
  129. Feb 16 20:18:29 <Med> "Well... if I were still angry about it, I'd still be a demon!"
  130. Feb 16 20:18:57 <Melons> "Areyousure?"
  131. Feb 16 20:19:42 <Med> "My brother might be angry... maybe he could help you out!"
  132. Feb 16 20:20:17 <Melons> Melanie turns to Shclaw, still quite unable to look him in the eye.
  133. Feb 16 20:21:36 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Your other options are...reusable Shadow Claw TM, reusable Shadow Ball TM, a Necturna or Kistunoh egg, a Ghost Type Plate, an additional 2000 PY, or..." He pauses and pulls out a box with ?s on it. "...the Mystery Box."
  134. Feb 16 20:21:39 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Pick 2."
  135. Feb 16 20:21:46 <Aori_Radidjiu> "You can only take one egg."
  136. Feb 16 20:25:26 * Melons picks a foxbabby and Shadow Bawl Tim, but more importantly... "Um...Med's deferring her judgment to you..."
  137. Feb 16 20:27:14 <Aori_Radidjiu> oh
  138. Feb 16 20:27:20 <Aori_Radidjiu> did I say Necturna or Kitsunoh
  139. Feb 16 20:27:21 <Aori_Radidjiu> I meant
  140. Feb 16 20:27:34 <Aori_Radidjiu> http://z2.ifrm.com/10730/31/0/e5037150/e5037150.png Nohface
  141. Feb 16 20:27:44 <Melons> What the fuck is that.
  142. Feb 16 20:27:47 <Aori_Radidjiu> or http://z2.ifrm.com/10730/31/0/e5037284/e5037284.png Necturine
  143. Feb 16 20:28:07 <Med> Probably not Kistunoh's pre-evo. Probably something unrelated. probably.
  144. Feb 16 20:28:27 <Melons> It clearly has a face!
  145. Feb 16 20:28:42 <Med> noh it doesn't.
  146. Feb 16 20:29:42 <Aori_Radidjiu> Shadow Claw gives you a hard stare as you take the items from his hands. And by take the items, I mean put your hands on them and realize he's still holding them.
  147. Feb 16 20:30:06 * Mackenzie is still considering things!
  148. Feb 16 20:30:07 <Melons> Ohshitthere'saglitchinthematrix.
  149. Feb 16 20:30:43 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Ah. Miss Ipu."
  150. Feb 16 20:30:58 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I'll give you these items, but I'd like to request that you do me a favor."
  151. Feb 16 20:31:11 <Melons> "Y-Yeah?"
  152. Feb 16 20:33:38 * Botherrer is now known as Saryx
  153. Feb 16 20:35:01 <Aori_Radidjiu> "There are some books of my father's in the old mansion that me and my brother Siet want."
  154. Feb 16 20:35:56 <Melons> "I'llgetthem!"
  155. Feb 16 20:36:35 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Good, they'd be in the library, I believe. Med should know the layout of the place, so it shouldn't be a very long trip..."
  156. Feb 16 20:37:12 <Aori_Radidjiu> He leans a bit. "Be careful about going too deep, Miss Ipu. Some of the things there get a bit lonely."
  157. Feb 16 20:38:13 <Melons> "That's nothing new to me..."
  158. Feb 16 20:38:58 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Also there's been more than a few mangled bodies found on the porch, so."
  159. Feb 16 20:39:10 <Melons> "That'smorenewtome!"
  160. Feb 16 20:39:15 <Mackenzie> Hmm... I could use a ghost TM... But I could probably use money more, after those expensive items for Cindy and Ross... But then there's the Mystery Box... Which could be anything, including some form of death mist that could turn HIM into a ghost... Wouldn't put it past this place... Or a giant spike that would impale him through the face... Or just one of those Kantonese anti-ghost
  161. Feb 16 20:39:15 <Mackenzie> paper things... Hum...
  162. Feb 16 20:40:02 <Melons> "Oh...I do actually have more to ask you about still..."
  163. Feb 16 20:40:24 <Med> "Do I have to go in too?" D:
  164. Feb 16 20:41:01 <Aori_Radidjiu> "It'd probably make things easier for Melanie."
  165. Feb 16 20:41:09 <Med> D:
  166. Feb 16 20:41:14 <Melons> "We're not as shitty as we used to be!"
  167. Feb 16 20:41:16 <Med> "B-but Knives is still injured..."
  168. Feb 16 20:41:38 <Med> "Can it wait until he's fully recovered, at least?"
  169. Feb 16 20:43:01 <Melons> "Don't you have other pokemon?"
  170. Feb 16 20:44:09 <Melons> "And you won't have to fight either way..."
  171. Feb 16 20:45:16 <Mackenzie> "I'll be going in as well."
  172. Feb 16 20:45:48 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I didn't say you had to go right away."
  173. Feb 16 20:48:05 <Melons> "We may be here for a few days anyway...but uh...back to my questions, Mister...erm...Claw...do you know anything about a Jackknife Isle?"
  174. Feb 16 20:49:38 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I went there once."
  175. Feb 16 20:49:43 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I'm not going back."
  176. Feb 16 20:50:26 <Melons> "Yes I've heard it's...haunted or some such. But it may be connected to Aether, so I'd like to know anything you found out about it."
  177. Feb 16 20:50:37 <Aori_Radidjiu> "It...well, it had plenty of pokemon...not many ghosts, I was expecting more ghosts...and something was...off about most of them."
  178. Feb 16 20:51:29 <Aori_Radidjiu> "They would...stare into space, vacantly, then when something came into their territory they would attack it mercilessly."
  179. Feb 16 20:52:09 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I don't know much about Shadow Pokemon, but they seemed to fit the description."
  180. Feb 16 20:54:09 <Melons> "Any credit to this...'Missingno' business."
  181. Feb 16 20:54:39 <Melons> *?
  182. Feb 16 20:56:47 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I...remembering having a bad dream there, but I can't recall it. I've heard the rumors, of course, but I don't recall the dream I had."
  183. Feb 16 20:58:11 <Melons> "And this has been going on for ten years?"
  184. Feb 16 20:58:35 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I guess? I don't know too much about it, I was there about a year ago."
  185. Feb 16 20:59:17 * Mackenzie has decided upon money and Mystery Box. Boring.
  186. Feb 16 21:00:58 <Aori_Radidjiu> You get 2000 PY, and open the mystery box to find...
  187. Feb 16 21:01:02 <Melons> "Hm...guess we'll have to investigate that...and the last portion of my inquisition is...well...I want your help to learn about...ghosts...pokemon, people, spirits, the barrier between the living and the dead, all of that. I want to learn to summon and command them."
  188. Feb 16 21:04:08 <Aori_Radidjiu> THE SHADOWLURKER'S CLOAK. 5 damage reduction (that's both Defense and Sp.Def bonus), Ghost Resist, Dark Resist, Special: Allows use of the move Phantom Force when equipped.
  189. Feb 16 21:04:58 <Aori_Radidjiu> Body Slot equip.
  190. Feb 16 21:05:14 <Med> "Do you have more mystery boxes?"
  191. Feb 16 21:06:03 <Med> "Though... I still don't think I earned the badge... I mean, it didn't matter whether I won or lost when it got to me!"
  192. Feb 16 21:07:00 <Aori_Radidjiu> "I do, but it never has the same thing twice!"
  193. Feb 16 21:07:23 <Med> "So, maybe you should keep them until I really do earn it!"
  194. Feb 16 21:09:04 <Mackenzie> "Honestly, whether or not your particular contribution was or wasn't necessary for the group's success, the fact you cast your lot with us as a group and we won should qualify as your voctiry..."
  195. Feb 16 21:09:20 <Mackenzie> *victory
  196. Feb 16 21:09:34 <Melons> "Hell, it's not even like we raised a finger this time, it was all our pokemon."
  197. Feb 16 21:09:39 <Mackenzie> He's still not particularly enthusiastic to her, and not making any eye contact.
  198. Feb 16 21:14:20 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Well, Lesieli and Mirai, will you pick your prizes?"
  199. Feb 16 21:14:28 * Mackenzie undistracts himself from appraising the cloak. It's pretty well-worn, but its effectiveness is unquestionable. I should have it mended and patched up, perhaps fashioned into something more presentable, but I'll see what the others think of an outfit I can make from it as is.
  200. Feb 16 21:14:56 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mirai takes SHADOW CLAW and money.
  201. Feb 16 21:15:10 <Mackenzie> you can't just take a person
  202. Feb 16 21:15:18 <Aori_Radidjiu> the TM
  203. Feb 16 21:20:02 <Aori_Radidjiu> AFTER PRIZETAKING (assuming Lesieli takes hers) YOU GUYS ARE FREE TO GO, in fact, Shadow Claw ends up leaving because someone NEW has come into the gym to challenge him.
  204. Feb 16 21:20:47 <Aori_Radidjiu> BEFORE HE LEAVES
  205. Feb 16 21:21:01 <Aori_Radidjiu> Shadow Claw gives a nod to Mel. "Sure thing, after you do that favor for me."
  206. Feb 16 21:24:58 <Aori_Radidjiu> Anything else you guys wanna' do today or should I WRAP UP?
  207. Feb 16 21:26:27 <Melons> What pretty things do the local shops have?
  208. Feb 16 21:27:19 <Aori_Radidjiu> They actually sell Cleanse Tags! But you should already know how to make those, so eh.
  209. Feb 16 21:27:39 <Melons> Don't have the feature yet. ;-;
  210. Feb 16 21:28:58 <Melons> Anything relating to pretty princess relics?
  211. Feb 16 21:30:00 <Aori_Radidjiu> They sell Potions up to Super, all status healing items (barring full restore), Revives, bandages, all X items, Oran, Sitrus, Cheri, Chesto, Pecha, Rawst, Aspear, and Persim berries, and...
  212. Feb 16 21:30:15 <Aori_Radidjiu> There's a specialty shop that sells...
  213. Feb 16 21:31:25 <Aori_Radidjiu> Figures of characters from Magical Sweets Pretty Melody! They work as Fairy Type Bracers (which totally count)
  214. Feb 16 21:33:12 <Melons> Gross, but they smell like magic. How much?
  215. Feb 16 21:33:44 <Aori_Radidjiu> They all cost 3k PY. They cost extra because they give a +1 Charm bonus and are carefully crafted.
  216. Feb 16 21:34:14 <Aori_Radidjiu> They even have clothes that can be taken off. NOt all the way, but you can strip them to their underwear. Ew.
  217. Feb 16 21:34:27 <Melons> Pretty sure all clothes can be taken off.
  218. Feb 16 21:35:54 <Aori_Radidjiu> ...they all can be taken off. It's just harder to take off their skivvies. You spend a good amount of time figuring this out. In the middle of the store. The receptionist notices this and has an amused smile on their face.
  219. Feb 16 21:36:54 <Melons> ...how much does that cost?
  220. Feb 16 21:37:30 <Aori_Radidjiu> 3000 PY, like I said.
  221. Feb 16 21:37:48 <Melons> Wait, all clothing is a Type Brace?
  222. Feb 16 21:38:01 <Aori_Radidjiu> oh wait what
  223. Feb 16 21:38:09 <Aori_Radidjiu> what are you asking now
  224. Feb 16 21:38:19 <Melons> [21:31:25] <Aori_Radidjiu> Figures of characters from Magical Sweets Pretty Melody! They work as Fairy Type Bracers (which totally count)
  225. Feb 16 21:38:19 <Melons> [21:33:12] <Melons> Gross, but they smell like magic. How much?
  226. Feb 16 21:38:19 <Melons> [21:33:44] <Aori_Radidjiu> They all cost 3k PY. They cost extra because they give a +1 Charm bonus and are carefully crafted.
  227. Feb 16 21:38:41 <Melons> The last question was about the clothes
  228. Feb 16 21:39:02 <Melons> OOOOOOOH I see.
  229. Feb 16 21:39:05 <Aori_Radidjiu> It's a figure. You buy them, you buy the clothes with them.
  230. Feb 16 21:39:42 <Aori_Radidjiu> THERE IS A COSPLAY OUTFIT FOR THE SHOW, THOUGH, IF YOU'RE INTERESTED
  231. Feb 16 21:40:02 <Melons> 3d6+7 Sneak a peek at it. You know. For research.
  232. Feb 16 21:40:04 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Sneak a peek at it. You know. For research.: 20 [3d6=1,6,6]
  233. Feb 16 21:40:31 <Aori_Radidjiu> Looks like it's in your size. The receptionist doesn't know you're looking at it yet.
  234. Feb 16 21:41:25 <Melons> Are there dressing rooms?
  235. Feb 16 21:41:35 <Aori_Radidjiu> Yep!
  236. Feb 16 21:42:16 <Melons> 3d6+7 Quietly take that thing to a dressing room.
  237. Feb 16 21:42:16 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Quietly take that thing to a dressing room.: 17 [3d6=3,6,1]
  238. Feb 16 21:42:40 <Aori_Radidjiu> No one seems to notice, yet.
  239. Feb 16 21:43:12 <Melons> Do I feel pretty in it?
  240. Feb 16 21:45:48 <Aori_Radidjiu> That's a complicated question! Maybe you should ask Med whether you're ~objectively~ pretty. It's a bit skimpy, showing a bit of cleavage and the skirt is a biiiiit short, but you have to say it seems to fit you just as well as it fits the character. Your hair color isn't quite right but you'd make a good cosplay! Certainly eyecatching, but it's a bit more revealing than what you're
  241. Feb 16 21:45:48 <Aori_Radidjiu> used to wearing so it might be a bit embarrassing to wear.
  242. Feb 16 21:46:14 <Aori_Radidjiu> It gives Fairy Resist, +2 Charm, and lets you use Moonblast, for 5000 PY
  243. Feb 16 21:47:34 <Melons> 4d6+4 Change back out of it and pretend I'm buying it for my cousin.
  244. Feb 16 21:47:35 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, Change back out of it and pretend I'm buying it for my cousin.: 15 [4d6=2,2,4,3]
  245. Feb 16 21:48:45 <Aori_Radidjiu> The receptionist grins at you. "Hope your 'cousin' enjoys it~!" Wink.
  246. Feb 16 21:49:23 <Melons> OHGODSHEKNOWS!...OHGODGENDERWASNEVERSTATEDITCOULDBEABOYEVENMOREEMBARRASSING!
  247. Feb 16 21:50:14 <Aori_Radidjiu> It's a she. "I have one at home I wear every now and then~" She blushes.
  248. Feb 16 21:50:23 <Melons> ...
  249. Feb 16 21:50:26 * Melons runs the fuck out of that shop.
  250. Feb 16 21:53:46 <Aori_Radidjiu> Anything else?
  251. Feb 16 21:54:09 <Melons> Beg passersby for donations of blood to a magic rock?
  252. Feb 16 21:55:03 <Aori_Radidjiu> It's still rainy and a bit foggy out
  253. Feb 16 21:55:21 <Aori_Radidjiu> ain't nobody gonna' give out blood to randomass girls in creepy weather
  254. Feb 16 21:55:37 <Aori_Radidjiu> Sepia's population is a bit too savvy for that.
  255. Feb 16 21:55:40 <Melons> Ain't nobody gonna do it in any weather.
  256. Feb 16 21:56:39 <Aori_Radidjiu> That all? :3
  257. Feb 16 21:56:44 <Melons> Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmyep!
  258. Feb 16 21:57:21 <Aori_Radidjiu> Med? Mack? Les? Any unfinished business?
  259. Feb 16 21:57:57 * Med has unfinished business with a Mack!
  260. Feb 16 21:58:29 <Mackenzie> Mack be heading out to the streets with a weasel.
  261. Feb 16 21:59:29 <Aori_Radidjiu> The streets are rainfilled and a bit foggy. Few people are outside, due to the weather, and the town isn't very busy to begin with, so waltzing the streets you don't find much. As for what kind of establishments you might find...
  262. Feb 16 22:00:10 * Mackenzie is presumably stopped by a Med before any of that.
  263. Feb 16 22:00:28 <Mackenzie> (But do go on)
  264. Feb 16 22:01:08 <Med> no. the consequences of not talking to her on your own behalf are far more dangerous than merely being stopped.
  265. Feb 16 22:01:39 * Mackenzie wanted to try to chill himself out before the confrontation!
  266. Feb 16 22:01:50 <Med> things get thrown once Mackenzie leaves :(
  267. Feb 16 22:04:35 * Mackenzie is wandering the streetz with his umbrella out. Of course he took it with him when heading out into a foggy city. "So Cindy, what do you think?"
  268. Feb 16 22:05:11 <Aori_Radidjiu> There's an Otaku goods store, with merchandise from several Kantonese animes, which actually isn't surprising considering that Sepia is one of the islands closest to the Kantonese isles. There's Siet's business, which isn't open at the moment, but deals in wards for dealing with the supernatural as well as some strange artifacts (I'll elaborate on those if asked). There's a Pokemart
  269. Feb 16 22:05:11 <Aori_Radidjiu> which gives the potions and berries and junk I mentioned before (they do have balls and some misc goods like bandages, ask me for specifics as desired). Lastly, there's a small clothing outlet, which has more conservative fashions, with lots of long skirts for girls and blouses and petticoats and cloaks and trousers and other more traditional garb.
  270. Feb 16 22:07:46 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Vile~" She's still riding that victory high. While you're watching, she jumps on top of a building and poses, becoming silhouetted by a lightningbolt, a black image against the clap of white. Then she jumps down, clapping her hands. "Vile~"
  271. Feb 16 22:10:12 <Mackenzie> "Well, it's a good thing you're in high spirits. I apologize for not saying much earlier, but you're most definitely performing far beyond expectations. You have always been one of my most reliable allies, pokemon or not."
  272. Feb 16 22:14:51 <Mackenzie> "However..." He scratches his head. "You're probably the least biased party from that night who's available for comment. I don't want to be harsh on Med--or I might have already--but you saw what was going on. It was the actual very day we were to begin dating, and that night I find her making out with someone else. I don't care about the whole going crazy and trying to kill us
  273. Feb 16 22:14:51 <Mackenzie> thing. Obviously that's been proven not of her control. I've already decided that there's no chance I'd try dating her again, but I don't know how to approach her with what I need to tell her."
  274. Feb 16 22:15:28 <Aori_Radidjiu> She puts a claw to her chin in thought...
  275. Feb 16 22:15:52 <Aori_Radidjiu> Then clenches her hand...paws...whatever and nods. "Weave!"
  276. Feb 16 22:18:05 <Mackenzie> "...I suppose you're right. I probably shouldn't have left without confronting her, but I'm sure you could tell I wouldn't have been in any mental place to speak with civility. ...Do you think I should buy her something before we go back? Not anything serious, just a nice sentiment."
  277. Feb 16 22:19:16 <Aori_Radidjiu> She ponders...and...
  278. Feb 16 22:19:25 <Aori_Radidjiu> Points to the Otaku goods store
  279. Feb 16 22:19:44 <Aori_Radidjiu> and with her other claw points to the old fashioned clothes store
  280. Feb 16 22:22:04 <Mackenzie> "Hmm... She's pretty big on clothing, isn't she? That seems like a safe avenue." He wasn't asking, he's already walking that way.
  281. Feb 16 22:23:05 <Aori_Radidjiu> As you walk that way
  282. Feb 16 22:23:12 <Aori_Radidjiu> You see Mel pop out holding a bag of clothing.
  283. Feb 16 22:23:31 <Aori_Radidjiu> Out of the otaku goods store, that is.
  284. Feb 16 22:23:44 <Aori_Radidjiu> She seems to be in a hurry~
  285. Feb 16 22:23:50 <Melons> Gotta go fast!
  286. Feb 16 22:24:36 <Med> 3d6+6+2 focus: calm down, and enjoy the afternoon.
  287. Feb 16 22:24:37 <DiceMaid-9001> Med, focus: calm down, and enjoy the afternoon.: 22 [3d6=6,3,5]
  288. Feb 16 22:25:06 <Med> 3d6+6 i think intuition is used for making lunch, so MAKE LUNCH FOR BRO, he works hard :3 also for other elder siblings if they're about.
  289. Feb 16 22:25:07 <DiceMaid-9001> Med, i think intuition is used for making lunch, so MAKE LUNCH FOR BRO, he works hard :3 also for other elder siblings if they're about.: 11 [3d6=1,2,2]
  290. Feb 16 22:26:00 <Aori_Radidjiu> You make a fairly decent lunch! Up to you what you made!
  291. Feb 16 22:26:19 * Med isn't especially creative, so probably whatever's on hand!
  292. Feb 16 22:27:45 <Med> If they do boxed lunch things, though, she totes tries to make one of those, and make it adorable, and stuff.
  293. Feb 16 22:28:06 <Mackenzie> "...There goes Melanie. That is her, right? She doesn't look like she wants to be bothered." Into da clothes!
  294. Feb 16 22:28:17 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mack, you go in the...old fashioned clothes store? There's a few OUTFITS in there, like one that looks like http://static3.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20131126153808/finalfantasy/images/3/3e/BDFF_Agn%C3%A8s_Merchant.png and another that looks like http://static1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130112094837/finalfantasy/images/9/9a/BDFFedearedmage.jpg
  295. Feb 16 22:29:02 <Aori_Radidjiu> Med: You cook some bacon, put it on a sandwich, add lettuce and tomato and mayo, and make a pretty mean BLT~
  296. Feb 16 22:32:28 <Mackenzie> 6d6+2 use the past experience of their pointless clashed Charm rolls to discern which specific piece of which outfit Med would be best able to make use of
  297. Feb 16 22:32:29 <DiceMaid-9001> Mackenzie, use the past experience of their pointless clashed Charm rolls to discern which specific piece of which outfit Med would be best able to make use of: 23 [6d6=6,3,1,5,1,5]
  298. Feb 16 22:34:49 <Mackenzie> ..which I guess would be up to Roara
  299. Feb 16 22:36:27 * Med doesn't have nearly the impressive bust that Mel has, so an outfit that accentuates that wouldn't go quite as great for her. She does have hips, though. It is my personal opinion as a Roara, who has maybe a fraction of the fashion education even Mack likely has let alone a Med, that the redmage outfit would probably look better on a Med. Especially when you factor in that it
  300. Feb 16 22:36:28 * Med matches her eyes~
  301. Feb 16 22:38:44 <Aori_Radidjiu> The Red Mage outfit has....
  302. Feb 16 22:40:27 <Aori_Radidjiu> +2 Charm, +5 Initiative, Move: Safeguard, Move: Helping Hand, for 5000 PY
  303. Feb 16 22:43:23 * Mackenzie heads over to the counter and gives the counterperson a very Mackenzie Frazier smile. "Hello there."
  304. Feb 16 22:46:42 <Aori_Radidjiu> She looks up, and then slowly sets down her hands on the counter, shaking a little like she's about to fall over. "Y-yes?"
  305. Feb 16 22:49:29 <Mackenzie> "I think I'd like to buy one of these fine outfits for a friend of mine. That one, right over there."
  306. Feb 16 22:50:09 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Yessir!" She goes and gets it, folding it nicely and putting it in a bag. "That'll be 5000 PY, g-good sir!"
  307. Feb 16 22:51:20 <Mackenzie> 6d6+2 incoming swag haggle. Swaggle?
  308. Feb 16 22:51:20 <DiceMaid-9001> Mackenzie, incoming swag haggle. Swaggle?: 16 [6d6=4,1,4,2,2,1]
  309. Feb 16 22:51:47 <Aori_Radidjiu> fluff it, and then you'll get your results~
  310. Feb 16 22:56:45 <Mackenzie> "I see... Problem is, life being life and all, the most I can afford to spend on such an item right now is four thousand. Is there any way I can make up the difference to you?"
  311. Feb 16 22:57:13 <Mackenzie> Deeeeeep stare.
  312. Feb 16 23:00:15 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Uh...well...I guess...maybe? Do you...have an idea in mind?" She's a bit red in the face about now.
  313. Feb 16 23:04:21 * Mackenzie ponders this for a moment. "Perhaps a signed picture of the two of us, right here... Or you could take a video of a re-enactment of one of your favorite scenes... Just myself, or both of us."
  314. Feb 16 23:05:00 <Aori_Radidjiu> full red. "J-just the signed picture, p-please..."
  315. Feb 16 23:05:38 <Aori_Radidjiu> She's dressed like http://static1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20121018174740/finalfantasy/images/c/c6/BDFFedeawhitemage.jpg without the hat
  316. Feb 16 23:07:05 <Mackenzie> "Would you like to take the picture with me? You're a little flushed..."
  317. Feb 16 23:10:50 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Yes, um...I've got a camera for this, actually..." She pulls out one of those old instantly developing cameras. "L-lemme' put this on a timer..." She puts it on a table and sets a timer, then goes next to you.
  318. Feb 16 23:13:19 * Mackenzie takes her into his arms quickly, and stares very deeply into her eyes before the timer goes off.
  319. Feb 16 23:18:17 <Aori_Radidjiu> CLICK
  320. Feb 16 23:18:35 <Aori_Radidjiu> She backs off, blushing, and hands the picture to you to sign
  321. Feb 16 23:23:34 <Aori_Radidjiu> "O-okay, I'll give it to you for 3000 PY, is that good? I-I have to make sure I stay in business, after all!"
  322. Feb 16 23:27:13 * Mackenzie writes some generic "best fan ever" line in an exaggerated, loopy cursive style that takes visual gymnastics to decipher, then signs it with his similar signature with a unique F that is his signature's defining mark. He then places it in her hand with the 4000 PY. "You don't have to do that, sweetheart. ...Can I get this wrapped?"
  323. Feb 16 23:27:42 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Sure thing!" She puts it in a box, then covers it with a nice floofy bow
  324. Feb 16 23:31:54 * Mackenzie accepts the wrapped package and gives her a final Mack smirk as he heads out. "Adieu!"
  325. Feb 16 23:32:17 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Buh...Buh-bye!"
  326. Feb 16 23:35:25 <Aori_Radidjiu> And out you go! The rain has lightened a bit, but it still pours down relentlessly
  327. Feb 16 23:35:32 <Aori_Radidjiu> Back to the gym?
  328. Feb 16 23:35:45 * Mackenzie heads back to the gym!
  329. Feb 16 23:36:30 * Mackenzie gives the present to Cindy. "Stay out of sight. Don't let her know I got her something right away."
  330. Feb 16 23:37:04 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Weave!" She nods, and then promptly disappears
  331. Feb 16 23:40:17 * Mackenzie heads in and tries to find a Med or a person to contact Med through.
  332. Feb 16 23:40:38 <Aori_Radidjiu> You enter the gym! This time from the residential annex, where Med should be not far from the entrance of.
  333. Feb 16 23:41:42 * Med had to make so many BLTs. and then LTs for her vegetarianmons. pure carnivores got the leftover bacon.
  334. Feb 16 23:43:39 <Mackenzie> "...Med? Are you still here?"
  335. Feb 16 23:43:40 <Aori_Radidjiu> Med's in the kitchen, finishing up cooking!
  336. Feb 16 23:44:06 * Mackenzie isn't gonna go rummaging through their home part of the gym, obviously
  337. Feb 16 23:44:33 <Med> 1d6-1 hear a mackenzie
  338. Feb 16 23:44:34 <DiceMaid-9001> Med, hear a mackenzie: 0 [1d6=1]
  339. Feb 16 23:44:45 <Med> ON THE OTHER HAND
  340. Feb 16 23:44:52 <Med> THIS IS A RARE MOMENT FOR MED
  341. Feb 16 23:45:00 <Aori_Radidjiu> If you don't come in through the home part, a SHUPPET pops up and gives you a nod, then leads you along to where she is~
  342. Feb 16 23:45:06 <Aori_Radidjiu> oh
  343. Feb 16 23:45:08 <Aori_Radidjiu> dear
  344. Feb 16 23:46:00 <Med> 3d6+1 MCMILLIONS;2d6 KNIVES if he's around;4d6+1 BLUES;3d6+2 CHOMPS;2d6+2 FANGS;5d6+2 FUZZY;2d6+1 FLUFFERS;3d6+1+1d6 BATSY
  345. Feb 16 23:46:01 <DiceMaid-9001> Med, MCMILLIONS: 11 [3d6=2,4,4]; KNIVES if he's around: 11 [2d6=6,5]; BLUES: 20 [4d6=2,6,5,6]; CHOMPS: 14 [3d6=5,5,2]; FANGS: 10 [2d6=2,6]; FUZZY: 16 [5d6=3,2,5,3,1]; FLUFFERS: 10 [2d6=4,5]; BATSY: 12 [3d6=3,4,3; 1d6=1]
  346. Feb 16 23:46:08 <Med> home turf advantage!
  347. Feb 16 23:46:33 <Aori_Radidjiu> BLUES and FUZZY detect a Mack coming in!
  348. Feb 16 23:46:58 <Mackenzie> "Oh, hello there. I should have figured there would be a guide! Thank you."
  349. Feb 16 23:50:05 <Aori_Radidjiu> Blues and Fuzzy end up running up to meet him because they don't hate him, actually~
  350. Feb 16 23:51:27 <Aori_Radidjiu> Well, they both go up, curious, and Blues is all like, whoa, it's Mack, WASSUP BRO, holding up a paw in greeting, whereas Fuzzy tries to take in who this guy is, exactly.
  351. Feb 16 23:54:13 <Aori_Radidjiu> EITHER WAY, they both let you go over to see Med, Blues leading you along, Fuzzy, walking along to see what's up with all dis
  352. Feb 16 23:55:26 * Mackenzie greets the Blues and pats the Fuzzy before going on over.
  353. Feb 16 23:56:34 <Aori_Radidjiu> Fuzzy shakes your hand with one of its ribbons.
  354. Feb 16 23:57:01 <Mackenzie> Mack gets theh ell in there already. "...Med?"
  355. Feb 16 23:57:24 <Med> "Huh?"
  356. Feb 16 23:57:27 * Med turns to look
  357. Feb 16 23:57:37 <Aori_Radidjiu> 5d6+1 Weavile Stealth
  358. Feb 16 23:57:37 <Med> 3d6+6+2 focus: refrain from throwing cooking implement at him
  359. Feb 16 23:57:38 <DiceMaid-9001> Aori_Radidjiu, Weavile Stealth: 21 [5d6=6,3,1,5,5]
  360. Feb 16 23:57:38 <DiceMaid-9001> Med, focus: refrain from throwing cooking implement at him: 16 [3d6=3,1,4]
  361. Feb 16 23:57:48 <Med> aory do you want me to roll all those again ;-;
  362. Feb 16 23:57:58 <Aori_Radidjiu> No
  363. Feb 16 23:58:15 <Aori_Radidjiu> I'm assuming it was against the ones that were already rolled
  364. Feb 16 23:58:15 <Mackenzie> The polkamans would probly be cool with it if they saw Cindy and saw a present
  365. Feb 16 23:58:26 <Aori_Radidjiu> >polkamans
  366. Feb 16 23:59:40 <Aori_Radidjiu> Cindy hangs back with the present, out of sight.
  367. Feb 17 00:00:15 <Mackenzie> "...I kind of wanted to finally catch up on everything and clear the air, since it's been so long since we've had a civil moment."
  368. Feb 17 00:03:19 <Med> d-did med succeed? ;-;
  369. Feb 17 00:03:34 <Aori_Radidjiu> She managed to not throw it at Mack
  370. Feb 17 00:03:37 <Aori_Radidjiu> But she still threw it
  371. Feb 17 00:03:40 <Aori_Radidjiu> somewhere
  372. Feb 17 00:04:46 <Med> "We had a civil moment earlier. We also had a civil moment two weeks ago, and every day since then has been pretty civil here."
  373. Feb 17 00:08:22 <Mackenzie> "...Well I've wanted to talk everything out anyway."
  374. Feb 17 00:11:57 <Med> "What did you want to talk out?"
  375. Feb 17 00:15:58 <Mackenzie> "For one, I should apologize for not being available to clear the air earlier. You know how much I've been risking my life and limb for all this stuff... The whole trip to Visiwa turned up nothing but 'Ascension bridges the gap between humans and pokemon in one direction or the other and it wasn't the person the file said it was' and that was all. It was an extremely desperate push
  376. Feb 17 00:15:58 <Mackenzie> for everyone's life following the night at Mermaid Haven..."
  377. Feb 17 00:18:01 <Med> "I don't know - I don't know anything that's happened to you guys in the past two weeks."
  378. Feb 17 00:18:20 <Mackenzie> "I don't blame you for what you did. I'm aware that you were vulnerable at the time and everything was just a downward spiral, leading to succumbing to that... shadow influence. You weren't anything but a victim there, and i can't fault you for that."
  379. Feb 17 00:23:42 <Med> "I don't think... when I was a demon... that I did anything the human me wouldn't want to do. I just didn't have anything stopping me from doing things I shouldn't do."
  380. Feb 17 00:27:17 <Mackenzie> "I don't care. That stuff is all behind me now. There's only one thing that's still bothering me."
  381. Feb 17 00:34:11 <Mackenzie> "We agreed to try to be a couple, Med. I took you out to visit the city, and next thing I know you're tongue-deep in someone you've never met before. That is worse to me than attempted murder."
  382. Feb 17 00:35:02 <Med> "Mhm... well... I mean... I like that stuff normally, so when I became a demon, there wasn't anything stopping me from doing it with whoever."
  383. Feb 17 00:37:33 <Mackenzie> "That was before you met your mother and went crazy. You were still fine when you did that."
  384. Feb 17 00:39:02 <Med> "No I wasn't."
  385. Feb 17 00:39:59 <Mackenzie> "What do you mean? Wasn't it your mother that did that to you?"
  386. Feb 17 00:42:28 <Med> "No, it was Mel."
  387. Feb 17 00:48:59 <Mackenzie> "I'm still not clear on what happened over there... But knowing that it was bad and that she's attempted to make amends is good enough for me. And I'm sorry for assuming that you'd done that of your own accord. But anyway, I wanted to help prove my sincerity that I don't hold anything against you any more... But know that I'm still sticking by my decision that I can't be with you
  388. Feb 17 00:48:59 <Mackenzie> again. Look behind you."
  389. Feb 17 00:51:13 <Mackenzie> And there is (probably) a Cindy with a present behind her.
  390. Feb 17 00:51:49 <Aori_Radidjiu> Cindy holds up the box, careful not to tear the wrapping with her claws.
  391. Feb 17 00:52:20 <Med> "I did do it of my own accord. Just... at the time... I was an emotionless, inhibitionless demon, instead of a human."
  392. Feb 17 00:53:12 <Mackenzie> "Yeah, and an emotionless, inhibitionless demon is not what you are."
  393. Feb 17 00:53:30 * Med turns around to see present. she's slightly confused.
  394. Feb 17 00:57:04 <Med> "It is some of the time."
  395. Feb 17 00:57:11 <Med> "Is this my consolation prize?"
  396. Feb 17 00:58:54 <Mackenzie> "No, this is because I don't want you to feel hated. I tried to find something that would fit you. Personally, that is. But I guess physically as well."
  397. Feb 17 01:01:21 <Med> "But don't you hate me?"
  398. Feb 17 01:02:50 <Mackenzie> "...No. I was angry about things that you've done, but I've come to terms with them. I still consider you a valuable ally and friend."
  399. Feb 17 01:03:45 * Telume has quit (Ping timeout)
  400. Feb 17 01:12:09 * Med opens her present~
  401. Feb 17 01:14:08 <Aori_Radidjiu> It's a red dress like http://static1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130112094837/finalfantasy/images/9/9a/BDFFedearedmage.jpg
  402. Feb 17 01:17:09 <Med> D-does it come with the gloves and flower hair piece?
  403. Feb 17 01:22:17 * zooftop has quit (Connection reset by peer)
  404. Feb 17 01:22:45 <Aori_Radidjiu> Yes, but they don't override your slot items in those places.
  405. Feb 17 01:22:55 <Med> op
  406. Feb 17 01:23:46 <Med> 3d6-1 fashion ed: how fancyexpensive is it?!
  407. Feb 17 01:23:47 <DiceMaid-9001> Med, fashion ed: how fancyexpensive is it?!: 10 [3d6=3,4,4]
  408. Feb 17 01:23:53 <Med> 1d6 that should be a 4d6 not a 3d6
  409. Feb 17 01:23:54 <DiceMaid-9001> Med, that should be a 4d6 not a 3d6: 2 [1d6=2]
  410. Feb 17 01:26:48 <Aori_Radidjiu> pretty fancyexpensive!
  411. Feb 17 01:27:23 <Med> "How much did this cost?"
  412. Feb 17 01:29:42 <Mackenzie> 1d6+2 is it a good idea to actually ballpark how much it was worth, or should he give a non-answer?
  413. Feb 17 01:29:43 <DiceMaid-9001> Mackenzie, is it a good idea to actually ballpark how much it was worth, or should he give a non-answer?: 3 [1d6=1]
  414. Feb 17 01:31:37 <Aori_Radidjiu> FUCK IF YOU KNOW
  415. Feb 17 01:31:39 <Aori_Radidjiu> UUUUUH
  416. Feb 17 01:31:51 <Aori_Radidjiu> A COUPLE MILLION
  417. Feb 17 01:32:12 <Med> (i think that was intuition)
  418. Feb 17 01:32:20 <Mackenzie> (yeah)
  419. Feb 17 01:34:08 <Mackenzie> "It cost... More money than I have."
  420. Feb 17 01:34:33 <Med> ((although maybe aory's telling you that it's a good idea to say it cost a couple million))
  421. Feb 17 01:38:51 <Med> "Why'd you get it then?" '-'?
  422. Feb 17 01:39:00 <Med> "Or even how!"
  423. Feb 17 01:39:58 <Mackenzie> "I paid the difference with an autograph."
  424. Feb 17 01:46:29 <Med> "That's... kind of sly, but... if you're breaking up with me..."
  425. Feb 17 01:46:45 <Med> "I don't think I could wear it, you know..."
  426. Feb 17 01:48:49 <Mackenzie> "Why not? I thought you loved clothes."
  427. Feb 17 01:49:26 <Med> "I do, but if it's from you, then I'll think of you every time I look at it..."
  428. Feb 17 01:50:04 <Med> "And how I screwed things up because I'm half-monster... and how you spent more time breaking up with me than you even spent going out with me..."
  429. Feb 17 01:51:54 <Mackenzie> "I've been spending all this time working to prove that we can be trusted not to screw things up with you again. That was one of the biggest things we wanted to accomplish on our mission going to Visiwa, remember?"
  430. Feb 17 01:52:30 <Med> "It was?"
  431. Feb 17 01:53:29 <Mackenzie> "Yeah. Obviously it was still a fact-finding mission, but Lecia wanted us to prove that we can work as a team better before she was willing to allow us to bring you along again."
  432. Feb 17 01:53:47 <Med> "Oh. Did you?"
  433. Feb 17 01:55:37 <Mackenzie> "Well, Cerise left... But it was due to circumstances we had nothing to do with. Something about her family. But ah, we did everything we set out to do, and we survived an attack from some were pokemon. Basically cat people. And not one of us had to go to the hospital."
  434. Feb 17 01:59:08 <Med> "How'd you work together?"
  435. Feb 17 02:06:00 <Mackenzie> "Well it turned out that they were both psychics... They seemed to be similar pokemon, but the male was blue with white markings, and the female was white with blue markings. It turned out that the blue one was more defensively inclined while the white one was more offensive, so we focused on that one. In that sense, we had a good plan and stuck with it, instead of everybody kind of
  436. Feb 17 02:06:00 <Mackenzie> doing their own thing and hoping things turn out for the best."
  437. Feb 17 02:07:19 <Mackenzie> "There was this other cat person, too... They didn't appear to be a were pokemon like the others, and though there was a lot of confusion with the grounds for their arrival, we basically ended up protecting her from the others, even though she almost caused some problems by attacking Melanie."
  438. Feb 17 02:10:17 <Med> "Cat people?"
  439. Feb 17 02:10:29 <Med> "Like..."
  440. Feb 17 02:10:32 <Med> paw pose~
  441. Feb 17 02:10:35 <Med> 6d6+6+2 moe damage at mackenzie
  442. Feb 17 02:10:36 <DiceMaid-9001> Med, moe damage at mackenzie: 23 [6d6=1,2,3,3,2,4]
  443. Feb 17 02:10:58 <Mackenzie> 6d6+2 anti-moe defense module
  444. Feb 17 02:10:59 <DiceMaid-9001> Mackenzie, anti-moe defense module: 22 [6d6=3,2,4,4,5,2]
  445. Feb 17 02:12:30 <Aori_Radidjiu> hnnngh
  446. Feb 17 02:14:20 <Mackenzie> "Yes, like that. The two we fought were like actually half pokemon, though they weren't any pokemon I've seen. The one we protected was just like... cat ears and a tail. And obsessed with some kind of master, which got Melanie all suspicious, and that's why she ended up getting hit."
  447. Feb 17 02:15:09 <Med> "Getting hit?"
  448. Feb 17 02:16:05 <Mackenzie> "Yes, through the confusion of Melanie's questioning and the start of the attack from the other cat people, she ended up getting spooked and attacking Melanie."
  449. Feb 17 02:19:19 <Med> "Ah. How were you questioning her?"
  450. Feb 17 02:21:45 <Mackenzie> "Melanie was trying a bit... forcefully to get the identity of her master, but like, 'Master' was the only identity for her master that she really knew, so there was a misunderstanding that Melanie wasn't really letting go of. You know, paranoid and over-worried, like she is from time to time."
  451. Feb 17 02:22:10 <Med> "Oh. Catgirl... I wonder if she's a monster too, like me."
  452. Feb 17 02:25:40 * Aori_Radidjiu is now known as Aori_Radisleep
  453. Feb 17 02:26:40 <Mackenzie> "I guess that depends on your definition of monster. Pokemon are pretty much monsters in their own right, you know. You could call Melanie a monster because she has these supernaturally-supplanted powers now and is trying to take peoples' blood to put into a weird stone. You could call Mako a monster for having lightning powers. You could call Lesieliu a monster for... being a god
  454. Feb 17 02:26:40 <Mackenzie> . And so on."
  455. Feb 17 02:27:55 <Med> "Oh, no, I'm specifically a monster though. My body's sort of similar to the things you'd find in the abyss, and my soul's laced with shadowy stuff."
  456. Feb 17 02:31:14 <Mackenzie> "Either way, if our performance out there wasn't enough to prove we're a good enough team, this gym trial was more than enough."
  457. Feb 17 02:34:57 <Med> "Did it? We didn't really work as a team, though."
  458. Feb 17 02:36:28 <Mackenzie> "Sure we did. We organized our assault, made decisions on who should go early and who should be reserved for late, and we all put absolute faith in one another and our pokemon without any way to help them."
  459. Feb 17 02:46:01 <Med> "I guess so - even though I wasn't really the trump card you guys thought I was."
  460. Feb 17 02:55:54 <Mackenzie> "Doesn't it mean anything to you that everyone thought you were, even though you didn't?"
  461. Feb 17 02:58:27 <Med> "Huh? Didn't you just think so because I specialize in dark pokemon?"
  462. Feb 17 02:59:48 <Mackenzie> "I figured you would be a good advocate because you knew the leader and everything he could throw, but I suppose that's a desirable quality too."
  463. Feb 17 03:06:17 <Med> "Well, yeah, but the same goes for him, right?"
  464. Feb 17 03:06:51 <Med> "He knows everything I could do, and on top of it, he's more experienced than me."
  465. Feb 17 03:16:06 <Mackenzie> "Either way, the point remains that the others think very highly of your potential."
  466. Feb 17 03:20:08 <Med> "I'm not too sure why, to be honest." she gives an awkward sort of smile~
  467. Feb 17 03:24:11 <Mackenzie> "Because we like you, Med. And on the subject of being honest, fights have been much, much harder lately without you around."
  468. Feb 17 03:36:18 <Med> "Well... I don't have any powers anymore, so... I'm just an ordinary trainer now. Who's half monster."
  469. Feb 17 03:44:55 <Mackenzie> "I don't see any problem with that. Unless having special powers became a prerequisite for being in the group at some point, in which case, I'm out of the job."
