  1. Jan 16 20:08:20 <~zoofman> After a long afternoon of capturing Pokemon in the Safari Zone, you guys more or less ended up at the same rest point - which isn't terribly surprising, as it was by far the flashiest one. Modeled after a riverside tribal village, this rest stop features a tikibar and restaraunt, bonfires, and entertainment such as traditional dances, music and 'tricks', such as fire juggling.
  2. Jan 16 20:10:54 <~zoofman> There's a pretty sizable crowd here, as quite a few guests have already blown through all their 6 balls and are now spending time bonding with their new Pokemon. Seems the staff was prepared for this though, so service hasn't been terrible.
  3. Jan 16 20:11:06 »» Rosetta gets margaritas for herself and Gabby, and if there are snacks available for the Pokemon found in the safari zone, she grabs some of those for her new frog and birds.
  4. Jan 16 20:12:32 <~zoofman> Pokemon friendly snacks? Oh they certainly got those here - big plates of grilled fruit that has been marinated in brown sugar and cinnamon.
  5. Jan 16 20:13:05 <Rosetta> That sounds tasty enough for Rosetta to grab a few pieces for herself too. Probably pineapple.
  6. Jan 16 20:13:37 »» Genevieve gets a cosmo and then sets about trying to figure out how to feed a Sigilyph.
  7. Jan 16 20:14:59 <~zoofman> Seems to be the idea based on the size of it - something both people and Pokemon could eat, and it comes in large portions. Gabriella also orders one herself, and clinks glasses with you as you find some place to sit. "Hell, I'd come here just for the food."
  8. Jan 16 20:15:03 <Chase> Chase is now lounging around with something a bit more alcoholic than his initial serving by Arnaldo - pineapple and orange juice again, but cut with four different kinds of rum, including coconut rum. He's befriending his new Chespin, Sousa, the Espurr duo Treble and Clef, as well as the little Scatterbug, Ciocio. He definitely goes for some of that grilled fruit and a bit of
  9. Jan 16 20:15:03 <Chase> roasted meat for himself, too.
  10. Jan 16 20:16:31 <~zoofman> Well, you know they are suposibly herbivores, Gen. Holding out some fruit to one results in it hovering over the snack - seems they have a mouth on the lower half of their spherical body.
  11. Jan 16 20:18:05 <~zoofman> The Chespin makes a point to divvy up the fruits into equal portions for everyone.
  12. Jan 16 20:18:22 <Rosetta> "Yeah! They just need some nice craft sodas to add to their drinks menu, and it'd be perfect." Rosetta sips her margarita. "You decided what to name any of your Pokemon yet?" She tosses a cube of pineapple in the air for her Froakie.
  13. Jan 16 20:18:29 <Saryx> Saryx looks absolutely exhausted--It was probably hours since Gen had left him, and he, in all honesty, probably wouldn't have left the arctic cave himself if he didn't get overcome with hunger and fatigue--playing with hyperactive little dinosaurs and penguins is pretty damn tiring, y'know~ Unlike the rest of the boozeaholics he's currently downing the largest sized energy drink
  14. Jan 16 20:18:29 <Saryx> they had available, and sharing not-murdered-by-sugar fruits with the new catches that aren't easily mistaken for inanimate objects.
  15. Jan 16 20:18:32 <Chase> "Sure as hell seems like a nice place. They know what they're doing here." he says over to Gabby.
  16. Jan 16 20:18:51 <Chase> He nods to Rosetta. "Already named the four of them."
  17. Jan 16 20:20:59 <Chase> He indicates the little Chespin who just divided up the fruit. "This is Sousa. After the march composer? These two I've named Treble and Cleff, he wanted them to come with. And this girl here is Ciocio. That's a bit of an oldie, too, dunno if you care for opera much..."
  18. Jan 16 20:21:15 »» Rosetta was saying that to Gabby! but that's okay. "Already?"
  19. Jan 16 20:21:18 <Genevieve> "It's defintely a good place. I could spend a lot of time out here."
  20. Jan 16 20:22:58 <~zoofman> Gabriella hrms. "I think I need to wait on that a bit longer - when I'm not on an empty stomache, at least. Else he's going to end up named something like Nacho."
  21. Jan 16 20:24:36 <Rosetta> "How do you usually choose their names?"
  22. Jan 16 20:26:34 <Chase> "I still got two balls left... Dunno if I should have gone back for more or not." he muses as he relaxes, taking in the atmosphere.
  23. Jan 16 20:27:18 <~zoofman> "Oh, they already had their names when I got them. Never named one myself."

  25. Jan 16 20:28:16 <~zoofman> Roll me perception, by the way, guys.
  26. Jan 16 20:28:19 <Rosetta> "Wait, really?"
  27. Jan 16 20:28:22 <Rosetta> 3d6+1
  28. Jan 16 20:28:22 <DiceMaid-9001> Rosetta, 3d6+1: 18 [3d6=6,5,6]
  29. Jan 16 20:29:35 <Chase> 2d6-2
  30. Jan 16 20:29:35 <DiceMaid-9001> Chase, 2d6-2: 5 [2d6=4,3]
  31. Jan 16 20:29:42 <Genevieve> 2d6+3
  32. Jan 16 20:29:42 <DiceMaid-9001> Genevieve, 2d6+3: 13 [2d6=4,6]
  33. Jan 16 20:29:48 <Saryx> "Wouldn't surprise me," Saryx says after taking another gulp. "Pokemon still communicate with each other, even if most people can't understand 'em. I'd imagine they call each other by titles or names, too."
  34. Jan 16 20:29:49 <~zoofman> "Yeah, inherited them when I became a Gym Leader."
  35. Jan 16 20:29:56 <Saryx> 6d6+1
  36. Jan 16 20:29:57 <DiceMaid-9001> Saryx, 6d6+1: 23 [6d6=4,5,3,1,5,4]
  37. Jan 16 20:30:45 <~zoofman> Gen and Rosetta notice that a subset of the guests here, those nearest to the water, seem to be turning their attention toward something. They also seem to be parting, as if making a pathway.
  38. Jan 16 20:31:17 <Rosetta> "Ohh, I see. So wait, does that mean this is the first time you've caught any yourself?" Rosetta cranes her neck to get a better look in the direction of the commotion as she asks.
  39. Jan 16 20:31:45 <Chase> Chase turns his head when Rosetta does, curious what she's looking at.
  40. Jan 16 20:32:09 <~zoofman> Saryx, despite his height, somehow determines that the girl who introduced herself as Captain Hendrix, as well as a blue haired, glasses wearing woman with a clipboard and pantsuit, are walking toward you guys.
  41. Jan 16 20:34:22 »» Genevieve looks away from the others to keep feeding the Sigilyph.
  42. Jan 16 20:35:56 <~zoofman> Shortly afterward, Hendrix stops in front of you guys, "Ah, just where Kali said they'd be. How did she know, Seir?"
  43. Jan 16 20:36:14 <~zoofman> The blue haired woman adjusts her glasses and coughs. "I do not believe you wish to know the answer to that."
  44. Jan 16 20:36:19 <Genevieve> "She's stalking Chase."
  45. Jan 16 20:36:34 »» Chase is caught a bit by surprise at that. "Oh, hey..."
  46. Jan 16 20:36:49 <~zoofman> Hendrix: "Huh - She's what. Um." Hendrix needs a moment to recover from that one.
  47. Jan 16 20:37:16 <~zoofman> "...Anyway, you guys are the Zodiac Braves, right?"
  48. Jan 16 20:37:55 <Chase> He gives a sidelong look at Gen, then at Seir - he's met Seir and Kali before but he's nooot entirely sure if he should be acting like he has. He decides to not really draw attention to it and nods at Hendrix. "Yeah, that's us."
  49. Jan 16 20:37:57 <Rosetta> "Uh, heya. Yeah, that's us."
  50. Jan 16 20:39:53 <Chase> "And you're Captain Hendrix? What can we do for you?"
  51. Jan 16 20:41:02 <~zoofman> Hendrix looks to Gabriella as well, they exchange greeting nods. Then Hendrix looks back to you guys, and bows. "Thank you, so much, for what you did for the surviving members of the Sundown Corsairs."
  52. Jan 16 20:41:28 <Chase> Oh man, that's kind of awkward. He doesn't know if Gabby knows yet.
  53. Jan 16 20:41:55 <Chase> Well, she probably does by now.
  54. Jan 16 20:42:03 <Chase> Kind of like how Mom caught him off guard with that!
  55. Jan 16 20:43:28 <Genevieve> "Ah, well, you're welcome. Not that any thanks is needed."
  56. Jan 16 20:43:31 <Chase> "Yeah... it was the least we could do, you know? And besides... this is my family we're talking about, too..."
  57. Jan 16 20:44:05 <~zoofman> "It is a miracle that any of them escaped the purgatory they found themselves in. And as the Gym Leader of Goldport, I owe you a great debt for your actions. I am still a bit behind on the full details of this conflict, but when the time comes to strike back at our region's enemies, Goldcloud as a whole sails with you."
  58. Jan 16 20:44:12 <~zoofman> Gabriella...seems to have already heard about it?
  59. Jan 16 20:44:41 <~zoofman> "I also hope you've enjoyed yourselves in the Safari Zone today. Especially after that...blunder, earlier."
  60. Jan 16 20:47:39 <Rosetta> "Yeah, it's been just shiny. And uh, to be honest, that was kinda funny..."
  61. Jan 16 20:48:16 <Chase> "Naw, it's fine... that was pretty much grade A shenanigans as usual. I've learned ya gotta appreciate things like that - a little family dispute is lighthearted compared to the stuff we've been dealing with... you didn't get any kinda dossier, though? Man, we need to get people informed, sometime..."
  62. Jan 16 20:49:24 <Chase> "Anyway, the Safari Zone was hella fun, and with friendly wild pokemon and a couple dozen new species, it's gonna be a hit tourist spot with both locals and foreigners. Kinda ingenius, really. Especially with attractions like this." he gestures around at the tiki bar.
  63. Jan 16 20:49:53 <Chase> "Y'all outdid yourselves."
  64. Jan 16 20:51:31 <Chase> "(Hell, if anything, a little international incident will get you -more- publicity. Just think of it like that.)"
  65. Jan 16 20:53:24 <Genevieve> "Though I'm not sure now is exactly the best time to be encouraging international travel here."
  66. Jan 16 20:53:30 <~zoofman> Hendrix smiles and waves her hand around. "All of this was Dr. Vai's brainchild. We simply supplied the labor and the wild life."
  67. Jan 16 20:55:26 <~zoofman> "Given the biggest attraction here is literally out of this world, well..." She laughs and shrugs.
  68. Jan 16 20:57:13 <Chase> "Yeah..." he looks up at the sky as she says that. "Unfortunately some of our enemies are, too..." He looks back down at her. "But yeah, how are the rest of the Corsairs holding up?" he asks.
  69. Jan 16 21:03:10 <~zoofman> "They've made quite the recovery in the last few weeks, though time will tell how deep any psychological scars might stretch."
  70. Jan 16 21:03:47 <~zoofman> "You are Chase, correct? Alicia's sister? I believe she left earlier this week for home. The others have stayed here for the time being."
  71. Jan 16 21:04:31 <~zoofman> Gabby sips her drink and shuffles away for a bit.
  72. Jan 16 21:04:44 <Chase> He nods, and leans back in his chair. "Yeah... that's good to hear. I was actually wondering how everyone was going to react to her being back... I went home pretty recently myself, found out mom had talked with her already and was over it..."
  73. Jan 16 21:05:58 »» Rosetta tilts her head as Gabby goes and gives a quizzical look over as she sips her drink.
  74. Jan 16 21:07:00 <Chase> He glances towards Gabby, having a feeling he knows what's up with her, but just lets her go for the moment. Awkward city. "Anyway... Good to hear you guys are at our back. Was there anything else we need to cover?" he asks, to try and get some conversation in that awkward pause.
  75. Jan 16 21:09:12 <~zoofman> Roll me perception, guys.
  76. Jan 16 21:09:24 <Chase> 2d6 Two AP!
  77. Jan 16 21:09:24 <DiceMaid-9001> Chase, Two AP!: 7 [2d6=3,4]
  78. Jan 16 21:10:25 <Rosetta> 3d6+1
  79. Jan 16 21:10:26 <DiceMaid-9001> Rosetta, 3d6+1: 15 [3d6=5,6,3]
  80. Jan 16 21:10:28 <Saryx> 6d6+1
  81. Jan 16 21:10:28 <DiceMaid-9001> Saryx, 6d6+1: 24 [6d6=3,2,5,5,2,6]
  82. Jan 16 21:11:09 <Genevieve> 2d6+3
  83. Jan 16 21:11:09 <DiceMaid-9001> Genevieve, 2d6+3: 10 [2d6=3,4]
  84. Jan 16 21:11:54 <~zoofman> Saryx, Rosetta, you both hear a NEEEEIGH sound. From a bush close by.
  85. Jan 16 21:11:58 <~zoofman> Sounds like a ring tone.
  86. Jan 16 21:13:10 »» Rosetta tilts her head, then waves her hand toward the bush, parting the leaves with TK.
  87. Jan 16 21:13:18 <Saryx> ". . ." Saryx turns his head to the bush. Hazarding a guess after a moment's confusion, he calls out to it somewhat hesitantly 'cause god this would be awkward if he was wrong. ". . . Shawyun?"
  88. Jan 16 21:13:32 <Chase> "Huh? Where?"
  89. Jan 16 21:14:23 <~zoofman> You find a phone in the bush, Rosetta.
  90. Jan 16 21:14:44 <~zoofman> It's screen is lit with a notification.
  91. Jan 16 21:15:00 »» Rosetta floats it over. "You think it's Shawyun's phone?" She turns to Gen for confirmation.
  92. Jan 16 21:15:43 »» Genevieve reaches out for it to check.
  93. Jan 16 21:15:49 <~zoofman> Yup, it's Shawyun's phone.
  94. Jan 16 21:16:01 <Saryx> ". . . I, uhhh... Thought that woulda been him 'cause of the ringtone..."
  95. Jan 16 21:16:05 <~zoofman> The message is from Thomas. "Hey turd tyrant call me back asap it's important."
  96. Jan 16 21:16:23 <~zoofman> Hendrix and Gabriella stare, confused what's up.
  97. Jan 16 21:16:59 <Chase> "...Shawyun left his phone in a bush?" he looks over. "Man, that guy... Dude doesn't have a care in the world, I swear." he just shakes his head, more amused than anything.
  98. Jan 16 21:17:03 <~zoofman> There's also another message, from an unlisted number. “You will find me when you stare death in the eyes.”
  99. Jan 16 21:17:23 »» Genevieve dials Thomas on Shawyun's phone.
  100. Jan 16 21:18:21 <~zoofman> He picks up almost instantly. "Hey Shawyun Genevieve still with ya?"
  101. Jan 16 21:18:51 <Genevieve> "Not exactly. We just found his phone laying in a bush so I'm trying not to freak out. What's up?"
  102. Jan 16 21:20:30 <~zoofman> "...Huh, weird. Hey Gen. I, uh. Got some foreigners who are looking for you. Where you guys at?"
  103. Jan 16 21:21:04 <Genevieve> "We're at a tiki bar at the Safari Zone."
  104. Jan 16 21:22:11 <~zoofman> "Aite, bringing these guys over. Stay put if ya can?"
  105. Jan 16 21:23:05 <Genevieve> "Sure thing."
  106. Jan 16 21:24:09 <Chase> Chase just looks a little confused. "What's up?"
  107. Jan 16 21:24:11 <~zoofman> "K, on the way," he hangs up.
  108. Jan 16 21:24:48 <Rosetta> "Uh, we should probably look for Shawyun, shouldn't we?"
  109. Jan 16 21:26:43 <Genevieve> "Thomas is on the way, I guess there's some foreigners looking for us."
  110. Jan 16 21:27:24 <Genevieve> "So while I want to go look for him, we should stay here at least for now."
  111. Jan 16 21:27:27 <Saryx> "You think he'd still be in the Safari Zone?" Saryx pulls out the guide book and checks to see where Ponyta would be.
  112. Jan 16 21:27:55 <Chase> "Foreigners?" he frowns. "Well that's weird. And I dunno, Shawyun is usually fine... you think somethin's up?"
  113. Jan 16 21:28:12 <Rosetta> "Why would foreigners be looking for us?"
  114. Jan 16 21:29:06 <Genevieve> "I think I should have had him chipped."
  115. Jan 16 21:30:03 <Saryx> ... If those even are a species available in the Safari Zone. ... You know, because knowing Lil knowing Shawyun she might have explicitly made sure not to let them breed any. "... Did he even say where they were from? Like, from Russia or someplace we should actually be worried about?"
  116. Jan 16 21:30:06 <Chase> "Well, this got a little awkward, pretty quick."
  117. Jan 16 21:30:55 <Genevieve> "I figure he would have said something if we should be worried." Is Hendrix still around?
  118. Jan 16 21:31:53 <~zoofman> Hendrix and Gabby are there, yes
  119. Jan 16 21:33:27 »» Genevieve turns to Hendrix. "Would you mind making sure my boyfriend didn't get himself stuck somewhere, please?"
  120. Jan 16 21:36:03 <~zoofman> Hendrix nods. "Sure, I'll look around while you await your guests."
  121. Jan 16 21:37:02 <Saryx> If Ponyta actually are in the Safari Zone, Saryx passes his booklet over, pointing 'em out and recommending she search there first.
  122. Jan 16 21:38:44 <~zoofman> Sadly, they aren't. Hendrix bows again and turns to Seir, "C'mon, Seir. Shawyun Sariri...based on what Lilith's told us...hm." They wander off into the park proper.
  123. Jan 16 21:38:55 <Chase> "Thanks, we appreciate it." and thinking on it, he auras over to Seir. <Hey, say hi to Kali for me? And uh, there's actually something I'd like to ask her about sometime later.>
  124. Jan 16 21:39:05 <Chase> He does that via aura because it's less conspicuous!
  125. Jan 16 21:39:24 »» Rosetta slumps back in her chair. "How does relaxation and margarita time always turn into serious time for us?"
  126. Jan 16 21:39:36 <Chase> "Hell if I know."
  127. Jan 16 21:40:23 <Rosetta> "Well, I'm not letting this stop me from enjoying this." Rosetta takes a bigger gulp of her drink. "You guys have any idea who could be lookin' for us?"
  128. Jan 16 21:40:51 »» Genevieve shakes her head. "Not at all. Possibly foreign followers of the outer gods maybe."
  129. Jan 16 21:40:52 <Chase> "Out of the region? Could be something to do with Shark Fighter?"

  137. Jan 16 21:43:59 »» Lesieli feels so lonely without her pokemon draped all over
  138. Jan 16 21:44:54 <~zoofman> The crowded tiki bar, new comers, is filled with live music, dancing, and entertainment such as jugglers with flaming objects. The diners here seem to be sharing rather large portioned meals with their newly captured Pokemon. Thomas marches through the crowd, and toward five individuals. Three women, and two men.
  139. Jan 16 21:46:11 <~zoofman> As he gets in talking distance of The Braves, he points at them. "So, uh, yeah. These chicks and the guy who says he's the star from that Pirates of Visiwa movie say they are looking for a drug you made."
  140. Jan 16 21:46:37 »» Chase for the record, is a black guy in his mid-twenties, short hair, slicked hair and thin build, with somewhat mild features. He's wearing a green jacket over a grey shirt, black pants, dark grey, tattered boots and a gold chain with an ankh around his neck. He's got an electric guitar with him plugged into a portable amp that has glowing strings and resembles a metagross.
  141. Jan 16 21:46:40 <Aori_Radidjiu> The bear at the back of the group, clad in pirate garb, approaches with a big goofy grin. "Noice place, oi approve."
  142. Jan 16 21:46:47 <Chase> "What."

  145. Jan 16 21:47:14 <Cerise> "A drug -she- made!?"
  146. Jan 16 21:47:50 <~zoofman> "Yeah it made the bear able to talk?"
  147. Jan 16 21:47:54 <Chase> "Uh, bonjour, I guess?" At hearing the bear speak, he switches to english. "Okay, what is all this about all of a sudden?" he has a look over the weirdo foreignors.
  148. Jan 16 21:49:14 <Chase> He looks over at Gen. "You been up to something with your lab on the ship?"
  149. Jan 16 21:49:38 <Genevieve> "Well, yes, but nothing like that. Let me think..."
  150. Jan 16 21:49:38 <Melons> "Ascension."
  151. Jan 16 21:49:41 <Saryx> "I'm guessing you're not talking about the stuff she makes that makes using moves less straining for Pokemon?" He's thinking PP Ups at first thought, so this guy's... Looking pretty confus right this moment.
  152. Jan 16 21:49:45 <Genevieve> 6d6+3 Science
  153. Jan 16 21:49:45 <DiceMaid-9001> Genevieve, Science: 25 [6d6=4,4,5,6,2,1]
  154. Jan 16 21:49:48 <Aori_Radidjiu> The bear blinks. "She's Genevieve Webb?" He walks over to her, then kneels down on his bear legs to look at her at eye level, his eyes sparkling. "Are yew me mummy?"
  155. Jan 16 21:50:21 <Chase> "Dear Christ what is even going on anymore."
  156. Jan 16 21:50:44 »» Mackenzie scratches his head; a typical nervous reaction from him. "Perhaps our introduction was a bit direct." He walks over to Chase and extends a hand. "I'm Mackenzie Frazier."
  157. Jan 16 21:50:48 <Lesieli> "Wow, that's gotta be kinda awkward"
  158. Jan 16 21:51:11 <~zoofman> Thomas shrugs. He's seen weirder. Gabriella snrks at the 'mommy' comment.
  159. Jan 16 21:51:49 <Chase> He gets up, taking the Chespin in his lap off of himself and putting him down - there's also two Espurrs and a Scatterbug around. He takes Mack's hand. "Chase Violet, from the Zodiac Braves. Back up a little here...?"
  160. Jan 16 21:52:11 »» Genevieve looks at the bear and hums. "I try to keep track of subjects, so I don't think so?"
  161. Jan 16 21:52:23 <Saryx> Speaking of looks, in a nutshell Saryx is a rather short, bespectacled guy with a lean physique who more or less looks like his hair got dunked in a blue and pink tie-dye mix. ... Who is joining Gabriella in laughing at the mom commentary.
  162. Jan 16 21:52:34 <Roara> 6d6+5 still nothing to see here
  163. Jan 16 21:52:34 <DiceMaid-9001> Roara, still nothing to see here: 24 [6d6=3,1,5,1,5,4]
  164. Jan 16 21:52:39 »» Cerise 's eyes go wide at the Chespin. She immediately dashes over, and picks it up, looking at it. "Oh my goodness you are SO cute!"
  165. Jan 16 21:53:02 <Aori_Radidjiu> His eyes cloud over a bit, his head going down a bit. "Oh. O-okay." He gets up and goes to find a seat and flops down on it.
  166. Jan 16 21:53:03 <Cerise> "Who is a cutie? Who is the biggest cutie? Is it you? Oh my god it's so you!"
  167. Jan 16 21:53:15 <Melons> Melanie gets completely distracted from business by that dead look Espurrs have. If we're all 'bout lookmanship here, Mel is a somewhat short green-haired girl sporting a sword and dressed like a...modern ninja? Sure, that probably makes enough sense.
  168. Jan 16 21:53:40 <~zoofman> Gabriella is a blond, muscular chick in a tracksuit. She doesn't seem to be really seem to be in the same 'group' as the other four, more just standing by Rosetta.
  169. Jan 16 21:53:56 <Chase> He just laughs a bit at Cerise's reaction. "His name's Sousa."
  170. Jan 16 21:54:28 <Chase> He rubs the Chespin's head a bit, too, while waiting for an explanation of what the fuck is going on.
  171. Jan 16 21:54:28 »» Melons snaps to attention. "Like a sousaphone? What?"
  172. Jan 16 21:54:41 <Genevieve> "A-ah, wait-" she gets up to follow the bear. "Who exactly gave you my name about this? This wouldn't be the first time there's been a mistake."
  173. Jan 16 21:54:55 <Rosetta> "Uh, I don't really get what's going on here, but I can say if we had a drug like that it would've come in handy long ago..." Rosetta shoots Gen a weirded out look.
  174. Jan 16 21:55:10 <Chase> "Naw, the sousaphone was named after the same guy."
  175. Jan 16 21:55:13 »» Mackenzie backs up a few steps, then clears his throat. "My allies here are Cerise, Lesieli, and Melanie." He gestures to each in kind. "Apologies for the... chaotic entrance."
  176. Jan 16 21:55:49 <Melons> "We could have been much more cha- ah, right, business things, Lecia sent us from Wakino if the name means anything to you."
  177. Jan 16 21:55:52 <Rosetta> She's got short, dark brown hair and wears a rather form-fitting hoodie. Her clothing is mostly shades of grey and would blend in well in an urban environment.
  178. Jan 16 21:55:53 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Oh, oi heard that yew made a thing called 'Ascension', and it made me remember that oi heard that word before, a long toime agow!"
  179. Jan 16 21:56:10 <Aori_Radidjiu> (anyone who can beat a 24 with Perception go roll that)
  180. Jan 16 21:56:33 <Chase> "So... something about an Ursaring becoming smarter from drugs. And you guys think Genevieve made it? ...come to think of it I think this is the first time I've seen an Ursaring in person."
  181. Jan 16 21:56:45 <Cerise> "Oh, yeah, sorry."
  182. Jan 16 21:56:50 »» Cerise pouts Sousa down.
  183. Jan 16 21:56:56 <Lesieli> 3d6+6 It's a longshot, but~
  184. Jan 16 21:56:56 <DiceMaid-9001> Lesieli, It's a longshot, but~: 15 [3d6=5,3,1]
  185. Jan 16 21:56:58 <Cerise> "I'm Cerise Coumarou, nice to meet all of you."
  186. Jan 16 21:57:01 <Lesieli> Noep
  187. Jan 16 21:57:20 <~zoofman> Thomas pft's. "Well yeah no shit you can only get them through private breeders here...least till now. Think there's some out here."
  188. Jan 16 21:57:23 <Genevieve> "Hmm...are you sure it was Genevieve Webb and not Jennifer Webb?"
  189. Jan 16 21:58:17 <~zoofman> He then nods along with what Gen is saying.
  190. Jan 16 21:58:37 <Mackenzie> "While the Ursaring here is definitely an example of what we're after, he himself is not why we're here looking for the creator of Ascension."
  191. Jan 16 21:59:01 <Saryx> 6d6+1+4 Spending 2 AP for the Perception
  192. Jan 16 21:59:01 <DiceMaid-9001> Saryx, Spending 2 AP for the Perception: 25 [6d6=6,2,2,1,3,6]
  193. Jan 16 21:59:11 <Lesieli> (Nice)
  194. Jan 16 21:59:29 <Aori_Radidjiu> (noice)
  195. Jan 16 21:59:32 <Rosetta> "Rosetta Whitacre by the way." She extends a hand to whoever is standing closest to introduce herself.
  196. Jan 16 21:59:40 <Chase> "Well, you got me... This is the first I've heard of that. Go on, though."
  197. Jan 16 21:59:54 »» Cerise shakes Rosetta's hand~
  198. Jan 16 22:00:05 <Aori_Radidjiu> He tilts his head. "Jenn'fer? Hmmmm...."
  199. Jan 16 22:00:09 <Melons> "We were told Genevieve, but fuck if I know how accurate that is. And...um...Melanie Ipu..."
  200. Jan 16 22:00:34 <Saryx> "And my name's Saryx. Saryx Sylvestine!" He follows suit after Rosetta.
  201. Jan 16 22:00:48 <Lesieli> "The name came to us from the guy committing mass genocide, so forgive us if we're a little pushy about it."
  202. Jan 16 22:01:05 <Chase> "Definitely sounds more like Jennifer."
  203. Jan 16 22:01:06 »» Lesieli whispers to Mel "We're not being pushy, are we?"
  204. Jan 16 22:01:22 »» Melons whispers to Les "We're not being pushy enough."
  205. Jan 16 22:01:32 <Genevieve> "It's a little complicated, but suffice to say I have a sort of twin who likes to put my name on illegal things."
  206. Jan 16 22:01:48 <Rosetta> "Genocide isn't really our thing, if you'd believe us."
  207. Jan 16 22:01:51 <Chase> He looks over this group's auras for a moment, just out of curiosity (and to bug Aori :D)
  208. Jan 16 22:02:02 <Aori_Radidjiu> AHEM
  209. Jan 16 22:02:54 <Rosetta> "Uh, I'm gonna go ahead and grab another margarita from the bar, cause this sounds like it's gonna get kinda heavy. Anyone else want one?"
  210. Jan 16 22:03:00 <Melons> "I'd very much like to believe you since our last mission was right up that alley, but at the same time 'I'm sorry, Officer, it was my evil twin' sounds a little...you know..."
  211. Jan 16 22:03:24 <Mackenzie> "What's happened is that we were conducting an investigation that led to a place calle Mermaid Haven, which was actually a home for real mermaids. Only... When we got there, some scientists had driven them all mad to the point of slaughtering each other down to the last one. Leads went into leads, and all we know now is that the organization we're after uses Ascension."
  212. Jan 16 22:03:51 <Chase> "They got mermaids over there, too?"
  213. Jan 16 22:04:02 <Mackenzie> "Well, not any more."
  214. Jan 16 22:04:28 <Melons> "If your mermaids are also god-blessed, then I imagine they're all over the world."
  215. Jan 16 22:04:33 <Chase> "Well." he shakes his head. "Sorry, continue."
  216. Jan 16 22:04:40 <Cerise> "I will definitely take a margarita!"
  217. Jan 16 22:04:46 <~zoofman> Thomas seems a bit annoyed that this stuff is only coming out -now-, but isn't butting into things.
  218. Jan 16 22:04:54 <Saryx> "Mermaids, you said?" Saryx turns to the Braves, speaking to them in Visiwan. "You think they're talking about Langlias?"
  219. Jan 16 22:05:06 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mack's is noble purple, having an indent like a noble crest in it. Mel's is also a purple, a deeper purple, and it's shifting constantly, trying to defy being looked at and having a very indistinct shape that gets more distinct when it's in your peripheral vision. Lesieli's has a...shape, a distinct shape, similar to an angelic wings and halo and dress that coats her body,a nd
  220. Jan 16 22:05:06 <Aori_Radidjiu> is a bright, beautiful yellow. Cerise's is forest green, looking like constantly inwardly growing vines that mesh together. And the Bear's is a muddled boring brown. Hum de dum.
  221. Jan 16 22:05:12 <~zoofman> Gabby raises a hand at the mermaid bit "Yeah, uh, I'm with you Rose. What's that thing Yvonne always says? It's always margarita time?"
  222. Jan 16 22:05:17 <Genevieve> "Langlias seems a lot more interested in keeping them as pets than killing them."
  223. Jan 16 22:05:34 <Chase> To Saryx, he says, "I kind of doubt it, the Sirens seem like a more local thing."
  224. Jan 16 22:06:06 »» Rosetta nods to Cerise and then hops in place, much like a Natu might, to face Gabby. "Sounds shiny." She hops again to face Thomas. "I'll grab you one too. You look like you need it. Or a hug." And with that she jaunts off to the bar to place her order.
  225. Jan 16 22:06:55 <~zoofman> Thomas's grumpness intensifies.
  226. Jan 16 22:07:30 <Chase> "So if what you guys are saying is true, then Gen's sister is pulling some international deals with some nutball group in... where did you say? Wakino?"
  227. Jan 16 22:07:39 <Cerise> "Margarita means "Daisy" in [insert name of PokeSpanish], you know."
  228. Jan 16 22:07:50 »» Cerise says this very matter-of-factly, and as if it was totally relevant to anything.
  229. Jan 16 22:08:00 <Melons> "Yep, Wakino. And that's the gist of it."
  230. Jan 16 22:08:07 <Chase> Who is Thomas being grumpy at?
  231. Jan 16 22:08:21 <Chase> Because I feel like we talked with the Brains about all this before!
  232. Jan 16 22:08:41 <~zoofman> The Wakino bunch, and reality itself.
  233. Jan 16 22:09:21 <Chase> "Well that's all we really need right now."
  234. Jan 16 22:09:26 <Chase> He sighs.
  235. Jan 16 22:09:36 »» Rosetta returns with the drinks shortly and hands them out as she walks by each person who requested one. Or had one requested for them. "If it -is- about Langlias's experiments, you'd think we woulda found something in that lab, yeah? Wasn't it just the apricorn balls?"
  236. Jan 16 22:09:53 <Genevieve> "I've never heard of this Ascension thing, but let me put the word out to the bitches." She takes out her phone and starts typing out a mass text.
  237. Jan 16 22:09:58 <~zoofman> Thomas accepts the drink and sips. Then asks. "Where the fuck -is- Shawyun anyway?"
  238. Jan 16 22:10:03 <Chase> "We've been dealing with a few organizations threatening this region as well, and Jennifer is one of the more prominent figures in one of them."
  239. Jan 16 22:10:14 <Chase> "I dunno, Gen found his phone in a bush. She asked Hendrix to look for him."
  240. Jan 16 22:10:37 <Melons> "We're mostly just trying to figure out what the hell the drug is, I suppose. Bear's presumably affected by it, as was a Growlithe that's on the shi-....well SOMEWHERE at least." Poor Auriga if she got dragged out into the crowds.
  241. Jan 16 22:10:39 <~zoofman> "Were you guys rough housin' or something and he dropped it?"
  242. Jan 16 22:11:32 <Chase> "So I think we have some idea of what's going on, but I don't exactly know how we can look further into this..." he thinks on it.
  243. Jan 16 22:11:45 <Aori_Radidjiu> Auriga is currently trying to smooth out a misunderstanding caused by her accidentally setting some man's afro on fire, elsewhere.
  244. Jan 16 22:11:48 <Mackenzie> "The perplexing part about Bearington in particular is that, when I met him, he swore up and down he was human until proven otherwise."
  245. Jan 16 22:12:03 <~zoofman> Roll me intuition, guys.
  246. Jan 16 22:12:10 <Rosetta> 1d6-1

  256. Jan 16 22:13:00 <Chase> "Funny enough though, we do know that Jennifer's been involved in a shitton of things involving turning kids into half-pokemon super soldiers."
  257. Jan 16 22:13:38 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Half...pokerman? Hmmmm...so oi'm th' opp'site?" Bearington contemplates.
  258. Jan 16 22:14:08 <Genevieve> "Certainly sounds that way."
  259. Jan 16 22:14:44 <Saryx> "Those were more like werewolves, shapeshifters and those kinds of things, though, than a Pokemon who speaks human languages..."
  260. Jan 16 22:14:47 <Cerise> "Child soldiers? Tsk."

  265. Jan 16 22:15:12 <Melons> 2d6-2 I'm not the worst!
  266. Jan 16 22:15:12 <~zoofman> Those who get over a 15 notice that Thomas seems REALLY, REALLY confused why Shawyun's phone was not with him.
  267. Jan 16 22:15:12 <DiceMaid-9001> Melons, I'm not the worst!: 7 [2d6=5,4]
  268. Jan 16 22:15:16 <Lesieli> Not like I can use it anyways though

  271. Jan 16 22:15:31 <Genevieve> Gen's phone buzzes a few times. "Looks like the kids in TC were talking about Ascension."
  272. Jan 16 22:16:07 <Melons> "So this Jennifer fucker, she a 'shoot on sight' sort?"
  273. Jan 16 22:16:13 <Chase> "It's a two-man operation. There's a guy she works with who can find children who are 'lost' with supernatural powers. He then indoctrinates them and gets them to take this 'elixir' or whatever, as we've heard it described. We think Jennifer makes that, yeah."
  274. Jan 16 22:16:42 <Genevieve> "She would be, but she's probably traveling with a pack of weaponized Mewtwo."
  275. Jan 16 22:16:44 <Chase> "Well, kind of yeah, but she's also got a small army of Mewtwo abominations and robots."
  276. Jan 16 22:17:11 »» Melons points at Lesieli. "She's a god. Or something."
  277. Jan 16 22:17:12 <Rosetta> "They have these funky robot suits. There are at least two kinds of 'em from what we've seen."
  278. Jan 16 22:17:29 <Chase> "Hi." he nods at Lesieli, not really too shocked.
  279. Jan 16 22:18:16 <Lesieli> "Yeah, but what's that got to do with anything?"
  280. Jan 16 22:18:33 <Melons> "Seems more impressive than any of that."
  281. Jan 16 22:18:57 <Lesieli> "Hmmm, I suppose so~"
  282. Jan 16 22:19:05 <~zoofman> Thomas: "Okay, wait...when did you guys split up from him then?"
  283. Jan 16 22:19:05 <Melons> "Though she can't throw a punch for shit~!"
  284. Jan 16 22:19:07 »» Lesieli gets a slight bit of proud smirk on her face
  285. Jan 16 22:19:41 <Genevieve> "Right when we came into the zone proper."
  286. Jan 16 22:20:42 <Rosetta> "We all sorta split up when we went in. Gabby and I went one way, Gen and Saryx went another, and Chase off yet another."
  287. Jan 16 22:20:51 <~zoofman> "Really? Huh? That's weird. Did he run off on his own? You were practically draggin' him along with you, Gen..."
  288. Jan 16 22:21:06 »» Genevieve tosses Thomas Shawyun's phone. "He had another weird message, too."
  289. Jan 16 22:21:20 <Genevieve> "I was...what?"
  290. Jan 16 22:21:36 <Chase> "...oh shit."
  291. Jan 16 22:21:46 <Chase> "Jennifer's here, isn't she."
  292. Jan 16 22:21:46 <~zoofman> Thomas reads the second message out loud. "You will find me when you stare death in the eyes."
  293. Jan 16 22:22:09 <~zoofman> "I saw you two enter the park together once we got Cynthia and Big Lil to stop tryin' to kill each other. You dragged him in."
  294. Jan 16 22:22:14 <~zoofman> "Was that not you?"
  295. Jan 16 22:22:17 <Chase> "Genevieve went off with Saryx."
  296. Jan 16 22:22:42 »» Genevieve gets up and brushes her hair back. "I need my Pokemon."
  297. Jan 16 22:22:44 <Saryx> "Weird message?" Saryx headtilts. "... Define weird. I got a couple weird messages when I was out in Bravescar with--" Saryx staaares.
  298. Jan 16 22:22:55 <~zoofman> "Well fuck me side ways. I'm, uh, gonna go sound an alarm or some shit. And yes, you probably do."
  299. Jan 16 22:22:57 <Rosetta> "Oh geez. It could be Jennifer, or it could've been..." Rosetta digs in her bag and fishes out two bottles of soda, stuffing them into her hoodie pockets like holstered revolvers.
  300. Jan 16 22:22:58 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Wait, so th' Jennifer girl is here? M-maybe she's me mummy!"
  301. Jan 16 22:22:59 <Chase> "Okay, this is some grade A bullshit. Shawyun is in trouble right now."
  302. Jan 16 22:23:07 »» Melons groans and mumbles something about forgetting supervillains were also a possible way to fuck this easy info mission.
  303. Jan 16 22:23:18 <Cerise> "Uh oh."
  304. Jan 16 22:23:20 <Chase> "Trust me dude, if she's your 'mummy' you probably want to disown yourself from that family."
  305. Jan 16 22:23:30 <Chase> "We're dealing with either Jennifer or Dittos right now."
  306. Jan 16 22:23:35 <Chase> "And I don't like the sound of either."
  307. Jan 16 22:23:40 <Melons> "...the jelly things?"
  308. Jan 16 22:23:42 <Aori_Radidjiu> "Aw." He pokes his claws together, sadly.
  309. Jan 16 22:23:59 <Aori_Radidjiu> "C-can yew get me a drink? Oi think oi need it."
  310. Jan 16 22:24:12 »» Mackenzie watches them oh-shit their way through their revelation, quite lost from trying in vain to keep up.
  311. Jan 16 22:24:16 <Rosetta> "Chase, you wanna see if we can borrow some of the sugar they got back in the bar there? They've gotta have tons for the fruit they're grilling."
  312. Jan 16 22:24:18 <Chase> "Yes, the jelly things. The evil fucking jelly things that we named my goddamn band after to be obscene."
  313. Jan 16 22:24:40 <Saryx> "What do you need?" Saryx asks the bear. "I can go get it real quick."
  314. Jan 16 22:24:47 <Melons> "...did not know they were evil."
  315. Jan 16 22:24:57 <Chase> "Well, the ones here are at least."
  316. Jan 16 22:25:08 <Aori_Radidjiu> His eyes narrow. "A boatload of rum."
  317. Jan 16 22:25:14 <~zoofman> Thomas hurries off - but not without pausing and shouting at the woods. "Oh, Meepo! 'go play.'"
  318. Jan 16 22:25:30 <Lesieli> "Dittos?!"
  319. Jan 16 22:25:31 »» Lesieli gets even more excited at the sound of that. Now there's a fascinating and rare pokemon to check out!
  320. Jan 16 22:25:41 <Chase> "Okay, sorry to just up and leave you guys in the middle of this, but we have a friend that just got himself into deep shit."
  321. Jan 16 22:25:42 <Melons> "We can help with...whatever the fuck this is that's happening...though not having our pokemon on us is a bit of a handicap."
  322. Jan 16 22:25:46 »» Genevieve pops open a Safari Ball, releasing a Metang that she hops on top of. "I need my Pokemon, now." And then she's headed off to the zone entrance.
  323. Jan 16 22:25:57 <Saryx> "... I'll see what they'll spot you." And off to the bar he goes!
  324. Jan 16 22:26:19 <Cerise> "Uh... well, I guess we should all go get our Pokemon and deal with this mewtwo-having supervillain?"
  325. Jan 16 22:26:32 <Lesieli> "Well huh, that was fast"
  326. Jan 16 22:26:36 <Chase> "I could pick up my things from the boat..." he mutters, thinking. Do they really have time for that? How far is the boat, Zoof?
  327. Jan 16 22:26:39 <Rosetta> "Saryx, get some sugar while you're there!" Rosetta calls out, then hops to face Gabby. "Uh, guess it's serious time again."
  328. Jan 16 22:27:00 <Saryx> "Sure thing, Razor~"
  329. Jan 16 22:27:17 <Chase> "It's up to you guys. I don't really want to drag you into all of this but it sounds like you practically came out here for it anyway."
  330. Jan 16 22:27:35 <~zoofman> You think you could do a round trip thing in like...
  331. Jan 16 22:27:43 <~zoofman> fifteen minutes?
  332. Jan 16 22:27:45 <Cerise> "Yeah we pretty much did! I'm just wonderinf if the park people will let us."
  333. Jan 16 22:28:12 »» Rosetta looks to Thomas. "You could probably take care of that, yeah?"
  334. Jan 16 22:28:51 <Mackenzie> "Quite; we're not here for a vacation. Seems like we need to solve your dilemma to unearth our own, regardless."
  335. Jan 16 22:28:53 »» Roara is now known as Nine
  336. Jan 16 22:28:57 <Nine> SUDDENLY, SCREAMING!
  337. Jan 16 22:29:08 <Nine> "KYAAH!!"
  338. Jan 16 22:29:19 <Chase> "Alright, we'll see what we can swing for you guys - I'm going to our boat to get my stuff and-"
  339. Jan 16 22:29:22 <Chase> "What the fuck?"
  340. Jan 16 22:29:23 <Cerise> "EEEEE!"
  341. Jan 16 22:29:28 <Rosetta> "What."
  342. Jan 16 22:29:35 <Melons> Oh god, they've finally co- no, that sounded like a people, still terrifying though.
  343. Jan 16 22:29:48 »» Rosetta hops to face the source of the noise.
  344. Jan 16 22:29:51 <~zoofman> Thomas looks to Rosetta, "I'm headin' to get the rest of the league folks here to snap to attention." He looks around, notices Alice in the crowd, and drags her ass away with him.
  345. Jan 16 22:30:18 »» Melons pulls out Grampsblade just in case.
  346. Jan 16 22:30:27 <Chase> "Oh, whatever, mang." He dashes after Gen after recalling his new pokemon!
  347. Jan 16 22:30:30 »» Cerise looks around for the source of the screaming as well, after recovering from her brief bout of reflexive screaming.
  348. Jan 16 22:30:32 <Saryx> "... Hunh?!?" Saryx sparks up alert, also turning towards the source of the noise.
  349. Jan 16 22:30:32 »» Nine is a small girl dressed up in a frilly dress with frills and bells and other cutesy things, apparently cosplaying as a catgirl. Also, she's getting lunged at by a thing.
  350. Jan 16 22:30:34 »» Mackenzie also draws le weapon.
  351. Jan 16 22:30:54 <Cerise> "Hey, it's that girl...!"

  353. Jan 16 22:31:11 »» Cerise rushes at the thing D:<
  354. Jan 16 22:31:32 »» Melons backs Cerise up mostly in confusion.
  355. Jan 16 22:31:33 <~zoofman> There's a rather monstrous looking Mawile chasing after her. It pauses as Cerise rushes it, and burps a second Mawile out of its maw.
  356. Jan 16 22:31:50 <Cerise> "Double trouble!"
  357. Jan 16 22:31:59 <Cerise> "Well fear not, little girl, I will-"
  358. Jan 16 22:32:13 <Aori_Radidjiu> Bearington starts downing shots
  359. Jan 16 22:32:14 <Cerise> At that point Cerise reaches reflexively for her belt, and remembers her Pokemon are gone
  360. Jan 16 22:32:15 <~zoofman> Thomas shrugs and lets it keep doing what it's doing, dragging a protestinc Alice away "Where's that damned bunker..."
  361. Jan 16 22:32:17 <Cerise> "Oh right."
  362. Jan 16 22:33:05 <~zoofman> Okay...Genevieve, Chase and who else rushed back to get their team?
  363. Jan 16 22:33:13 <Rosetta> "Oh, just Meepo. Eh, whatevs, I'm not touching that with a ten foot pole." Rosetta dashes off to retrieve her Pokemon, teleporting where it'd help her get there faster.
  364. Jan 16 22:33:33 <Cerise> "What's Meepo- hey!"
  365. Jan 16 22:33:39 <Mackenzie> I think Mack is occupied with being someone who can supply immediate aid.
  366. Jan 16 22:33:59 <Saryx> People being attacked by things?!? This sounds like a job for Saryx' feats that are actually useful! He springs into action, on instinct running to cover the--... Well this is awkward. "Meepo's got the right idea! Stop that girl!"
  367. Jan 16 22:34:19 <Melons> "...what...that...which one do we hit then?"
  368. Jan 16 22:34:23 <Cerise> "I'm confused now."
  369. Jan 16 22:34:44 <Mackenzie> "Wait... Huh?"
  370. Jan 16 22:34:47 <Cerise> "Wait, she WAS at the Pokemon Center though."
  371. Jan 16 22:34:56 <Cerise> "... Has she been FOLLOWING us!?"
  372. Jan 16 22:35:02 <Cerise> "Like... a ... stalker?"
  373. Jan 16 22:35:15 <Melons> "...but...she's wearing bells..."
  374. Jan 16 22:35:16 <~zoofman> The pair of Mawiles continues to chase the girl around, like Meowths playing with Rattatas before the final strike.
  375. Jan 16 22:35:35 <Cerise> "An odious, evil murderstalker? Which one of us are you going to skin, eat, and/or rape!?"
  376. Jan 16 22:35:49 »» Cerise points accusingly at the belled girl
  377. Jan 16 22:35:55 <~zoofman> Genevieve, Chase, by the time you guys get your teams and your gear, you notice Captain Hendrix running over to you!
  378. Jan 16 22:35:58 <Nine> In spite of her screams, the catgirl's pretty good at avoiding actually getting caught.
  379. Jan 16 22:36:20 <Nine> "I'm nyat going to skin anyone!"
  380. Jan 16 22:36:22 <~zoofman> "We found him! He was...in a weird place. Hung up in front of the Skull Cave by a prop chain."
  381. Jan 16 22:36:30 »» Melons makes a note to never secretly follow Cerise.
  382. Jan 16 22:36:44 <Genevieve> "Is he alright?"
  383. Jan 16 22:36:53 <Saryx> "Idunno! But Meepo's chasing her and she was watching us, so... Idunno just get her!" The Wakino people notice this guy's pretty fucking loud. ... But he joins Meepos 1 and 2 in the pursuit of the girl.
  384. Jan 16 22:37:07 »» Mackenzie sighs. "Maybe we should ask them before making crazy accusations..."
  385. Jan 16 22:37:13 <Cerise> "Then why are you murderstalking us huh!?"
  386. Jan 16 22:37:15 »» Rosetta withdraws: Anima, Imperia, Nocturne, ZODIAC, Glissani, and Staccato. When she gets to the PC.
  387. Jan 16 22:37:17 <Chase> "Oh shit, thanks, Hendrix. Yeah, is he okay?"
  388. Jan 16 22:37:20 <~zoofman> "He was unconcious when we got there, just from being hung upside down, I think. He's at the Pokecenter now, still unconcious...and physically fine."
  389. Jan 16 22:37:25 <Nine> "I'm nyat!"
  390. Jan 16 22:37:34 <Cerise> "I saw you looking at us murderously in the Pokemon center!"
  391. Jan 16 22:37:43 <Cerise> "And stop talking like that!"
  392. Jan 16 22:37:43 <Melons> "...why didn't you say anything?"
  393. Jan 16 22:38:02 <Cerise> "Well I thought she was just a cosplayer."

  398. Jan 16 22:38:26 <Nine> "I'm nyat a meowderer!"

  400. Jan 16 22:38:45 <Cerise> "That's it, wait right here!"
  401. Jan 16 22:38:54 »» Cerise goes to get her Pokeballs D:<
  402. Jan 16 22:39:02 <Nine> "But it's gonnya eat me!" T_T
  403. Jan 16 22:39:22 <Melons> "Tell me why it's chasing you and I'll stop it."
  404. Jan 16 22:39:31 <Nine> "I dunnyo!"
  405. Jan 16 22:40:14 <~zoofman> "Well, he's asleep, Genevieve. Honestly my own professional opinion...looked like he was hung up as bait."
  406. Jan 16 22:40:39 <~zoofman> "I don't think he's harmed at all, but -" suddenly, there's a piercing sound from above the town. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xd4YGvZ_fJI
  407. Jan 16 22:40:40 <Aori_Radidjiu> So let's see, Saryx and Meepo are chasing the girrrrl, Mack, Mel, and Les are looking on in awkward fascination, and Cerise is GETTING THE BALLS
  408. Jan 16 22:40:44 <Chase> "We figure someone that looks like Gen kidnapped him. So in the caves, huh..."
  409. Jan 16 22:41:09 »» Chase texts Rosetta and Saryx, "Meet up at the Skull Cave." without even bothering with breakfast cant.
  410. Jan 16 22:41:11 <~zoofman> Hendrix looks up. "...What was that?"
  411. Jan 16 22:41:13 »» Melons shrugs and runs after Cerise to fetch her 'mons.
  412. Jan 16 22:41:15 <Rosetta> "Eesh, what was that?"
  413. Jan 16 22:41:23 <Chase> "What was... huh?"
  414. Jan 16 22:41:25 <Chase> He looks up.
  415. Jan 16 22:41:35 <Chase> He stops before sending his text.
  416. Jan 16 22:41:55 <~zoofman> Chase, Rosetta, Genevieve, roll me Perception.

  425. Jan 16 22:42:50 <Nine> OH, BY THE WAY, SINCE YOU ALL HAVE PICTURES OF YOUR CHARACTERS UP ON WIKIS, THIS IS WHAT NINE LOOKS LIKE
  426. Jan 16 22:43:02 »» Mackenzie does, however, stop those two before getting back.
  427. Jan 16 22:43:08 <~zoofman> Genevieve has some trouble spotting what the source was in the crowded carnival streets, specially with so many other people looking around for the source.
  428. Jan 16 22:43:18 <Nine> http://i.imgur.com/6r4ayP7.jpg
  429. Jan 16 22:43:37 <Chase> Chase, by the way, has donned a dragon-scale hat with a feather plume, a red cape, and thick armor that looks like it's made out of icy gemstone.
  430. Jan 16 22:43:48 <~zoofman> Chase, Rosetta, you spot a kid standing on a rooftop. An urban outfitted kid, with a skull helmet like a Cubone's. He has a bandana around his neck, currently lowered for a harmonica.
  431. Jan 16 22:44:02 <Chase> "One of Dandy's kids!"
  432. Jan 16 22:44:14 »» Lesieli has no idea what's going on anymore. Safari ball at the strange new mon apparently running around!

  435. Jan 16 22:44:34 <Rosetta> "Oh god dammit." She has her pokeballs by now, right?
  436. Jan 16 22:44:34 <Saryx> Yeah, hopefully that Confuse Ray somehow makes it easier for Saryx and the Meepers to catch that dumb girl.
  437. Jan 16 22:44:38 <Aori_Radidjiu> ball to face
  438. Jan 16 22:44:38 <Chase> "Jennifer is definitely here." he points out the Skull Kid to Gen.
  439. Jan 16 22:44:50 <Aori_Radidjiu> It bounces off, but stings like a bitch
  440. Jan 16 22:44:54 <Mackenzie> "Melanie. Cerise. Hold up for a second."
  441. Jan 16 22:44:59 <Nine> "Ow!" @_@
  442. Jan 16 22:45:05 <Lesieli> Dangit, didn't work. Maybe try again?
  443. Jan 16 22:45:06 <Saryx> Can Saryx attempt a Grapple on her?
  444. Jan 16 22:45:11 »» Genevieve draws Shadowblade and points it up at the Cubone kid. "I'll kill every one of you!"
  445. Jan 16 22:45:13 <Aori_Radidjiu> roll it~

  452. Jan 16 22:46:10 <Saryx> It's a Struggle Attack.
  453. Jan 16 22:46:18 <Nine> oh, right. pokeballs are AC 6. >_>
  454. Jan 16 22:46:54 »» Nine manages to avoid the sudden lunging Saryx, in spite of not being sure which direction is which anymore. Slippery lass, she is!
  455. Jan 16 22:46:59 <Chase> So, just to recap, Chase, Genevieve, and Rosetta are in the streets of goldcloud with Hendrix, and everyone else is back in the Safari Zone?
  456. Jan 16 22:47:07 <Aori_Radidjiu> roll me a confuse check, Nine~
  457. Jan 16 22:47:09 <Melons> Sounds right.
  458. Jan 16 22:47:16 <Nine> 1d20 which way's down again?
  459. Jan 16 22:47:16 <DiceMaid-9001> Nine, which way's down again?: 1 [1d20=1]
  460. Jan 16 22:47:21 <Nine> oh. that way's down. hi down.
  461. Jan 16 22:47:24 <Mackenzie> "Listen. remember when we left, everyone was talking about how our teamwork is horrible and, among other things, that's why they won't let Med come with us? Well guess what, you're really not helping the image with these people." Mack has nothappymode face.
  462. Jan 16 22:47:25 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mel, Cerise, and Mack are at the entrance getting their balls
  463. Jan 16 22:47:28 <Aori_Radidjiu> NINE CRASHES RIGHT INTO A WALL
  464. Jan 16 22:47:30 <Aori_Radidjiu> ow
  465. Jan 16 22:47:42 <Rosetta> Are we being allowed to bring our weapons in given it's an emergency? Rosetta wants to use her new bitchin' gyarados sword.
  466. Jan 16 22:47:53 <Aori_Radidjiu> She jumps right out of Saryx's grasp, right into a wall.
  467. Jan 16 22:48:11 <~zoofman> A few seconds later, something flies overhead, bellowing a terrible, terrible screeching sound. A giant, purple creature with metallic plating, iron wings, and a terrible, bird shaped helmet soars by. On its back stands, well, Genevieve's perfect imposter. The creature circles above you as she shouts down. "You stood me up, Sis. How cruel of you."
  468. Jan 16 22:48:14 <~zoofman> You are, Rosetta.
  469. Jan 16 22:48:23 <Nine> "Oww."
  470. Jan 16 22:48:43 <~zoofman> BGM: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m-N3MS1YKeo

  473. Jan 16 22:48:57 <Chase> Chase throws down a pokeball, and out comes a flaming Crobat, that Chase climbs on.
  474. Jan 16 22:49:05 <Melons> "I don't particularly care about these people and they've a big advantage on us in the information department, so I'll be inclined to believe them if they're the ones that will get us the information we need. Being curt and lacking teamwork are different concepts." Mel continues back to where Meepo and Nine are.
  475. Jan 16 22:49:06 <Rosetta> Does it look anything like the Mewtwo thing that chased us out of the underground? Or is it bigger than that?
  476. Jan 16 22:49:27 <~zoofman> It -is- one of those, Rosetta. They are naturally just big, that one was too.
  477. Jan 16 22:49:29 <Cerise> "That's unfair Mack, I think we've been pretty on-point!"
  478. Jan 16 22:49:37 <Genevieve> "What, are you done hiding behind your psychokiller boyfriend and his little kids?"
  479. Jan 16 22:50:13 <Cerise> "Let's just find out who that little stalker is to make sure she's not working for the enemy and then we can get back to work."
  480. Jan 16 22:51:14 <Rosetta> "Chase don't be reckless! Those are brutally strong." Rosetta lets out ZODIAC. "Hey, what do you feel that's god-like around here? Aside from Alice. Let's make sure there aren't more nasty surprises."
  481. Jan 16 22:51:23 <~zoofman> She laughs. "Not exactly. I am not here to settle my business with -you- today." It's errie, she sounds, and looks, exactly like you. Even identical body language. "My place in today's performance was foiled when none of you got my little hint. I planted it so well, too."
  482. Jan 16 22:51:52 <Aori_Radidjiu> Mel rushes in to the bar with the others, now with BALLS, and see the girl crashing into a wall, Saryx and Meepo about to take her
  483. Jan 16 22:52:01 <Nine> "I'm being nyaice, stop trying to hurt me!" ;-;
  484. Jan 16 22:52:10 <Mackenzie> "Are you kidding? The first time we met Thomas, and when we first met Chase and his group, it was a complete ball of chaos. This happens every time. Can we try to act like a cohesive unit for a while?" Through the magic of walking and talking, they are probably most of the way back by now anyway.
  485. Jan 16 22:52:21 <Saryx> Saryx calls over to Mel as he goes for a second capture attempt. "Can you help me out here?!?"
  486. Jan 16 22:52:38 <Chase> "Your bait was pretty shitty, all things considered." he calls up. "Not to mention we got interrupted because of other shit you've been pulling." he pulls out his guitar, and looks pretty ready to settle this, even with Rose's warning, but he doesn't exactly go charging in.

  491. Jan 16 22:53:27 <Aori_Radidjiu> (that way we're less cluttered.)
  492. Jan 16 22:54:21 <Chase> While he's got the chance, he'll check out and see how Jennifer's aura differs from Gen's!
  493. Jan 16 22:54:38 <Chase> (Though Zoof can answer that later)
  494. Jan 16 22:54:44 <Chase> (Considering he's probably bogged down as is)
  495. Jan 16 22:54:59 <Genevieve> "Rose, I need altitude."
  496. Jan 16 22:55:19 <~zoofman> She gestures to Hendrix. "You, girl. It is you we are here for today. Your transgressions upon The Banisher's dominion, bringing the children of his holy empire to this petting zoo of yours, was a fatal mistake. He demands retribution, and thus..."
  497. Jan 16 22:55:51 »» Rosetta tosses Glissani's ball at Gen's feet.
  498. Jan 16 22:56:46 »» Rosetta then looks around for a path to hop up onto a nearby rooftop. Shouldn't be too hard with teleportation and her acrobatics.
  499. Jan 16 22:56:49 »» Genevieve taps the ball open with her heel and points her sword up at the giant Mechtwo. "You're grounded, little sister!"
  500. Jan 16 22:56:51 <~zoofman> Children dressed in similar attire to the one with the skull helmet pour into the streets, from the rooftops, from inside buildings. Armed with slingshots, baseball bats, bags of marbles, water guns, and other children's toys, they disperse amongst the town, wrecking havok.
  501. Jan 16 22:58:24 <~zoofman> Along with them come puppet-like contraptions of wood, steel and cloth. They carry knives, drills, shrapened claws and axes as they lurch forward. Each of them has the likeness to a child, a twisted, demonic, child. http://imgur.com/sP28XgI
  502. Jan 16 22:58:50 <Chase> "Holy empire? You mean the children of the slaves that wanted a better future for their kids that to work for your goat of a master? He can shove all those horns of his up his ass. Cap'n, keep your wits about you, girl. Those kids can transform into pokemon-like things. And you don't wanna get nicked by those voodoo dolls!"
  503. Jan 16 22:59:26 <~zoofman> Needless to say, the crowd just became a paniced, screaming, fleeing mob.
  504. Jan 16 23:00:08 <Chase> "You just made a fucking huge mistake." he says, looking up at Jennifer.
  505. Jan 16 23:01:51 <Chase> He does cuss under his breath, though. There's no way they can really help everyone here!
  506. Jan 16 23:02:08 »» Rosetta reaches into her pocket and pulls out a certain cube. "Hey, Gen, Chase." She looks to them with a questioning look on her face, a finger held on the button.

  547. Jan 16 23:24:06 <~zoofman> Down on the street level, you notice there's 3 Skull Kids in particular who are eyeing you down. All of them appear under the age of thirteen. A black kid with a obsidian baseball bat. A latino with a razor bladed yoyo, and a freckled, blond girl with a slingshot.
  548. Jan 16 23:24:12 <Chase> Chase slides off his Crobat in the meantime and switches him out for his Aggron.

  971. Jan 17 01:07:10 <Chase> "This whole thing was to kill her, man." he says to Arnaldo. "The whole damn thing. Gen's working on healing her, but at least we managed to fight them off."
  972. Jan 17 01:07:39 <Rosetta> "Think so. Gen's good at this stuff. Listen, I'm just gonna take a quick look to make sure we don't have anymore dolls dormant and waiting around here, alright?" Rosetta trots off to take a survey of the immediate area. More than just looking around, she's examining the kinds of places she'd use to hide around here to try to find any remaining dolls.
  973. Jan 17 01:08:29 <Genevieve> "You're lucky they were Jenn's dolls and not Dandy's. Hers are a little more upfront about being killing machines, but at least they don't ignore conventional medicine."
  974. Jan 17 01:08:47 <~zoofman> He tsks, and looks over the unconcious kids. "Looks like they woulda done it if you guys hadn't been here. This is some heavy shit - never expected THESE GUYS to be the ones to attack in the open. Figured we'd have Grant doing that from what you guys told me."
  975. Jan 17 01:10:20 <~zoofman> "The good news is we can explain this as a publicity stunt for Pirates of Visiwa 2."

  982. Jan 17 01:13:15 <Chase> "You're prolly right, it's better for Goldcloud and the Safari Zone if it's covered up I guess. But at some point we need to figure what's going to be publically released about these bastards and the sons of Grant."

  996. Jan 17 01:19:46 <~zoofman> Gabriella says she lingered in the tiki bar to try to clean up the mess that Meepo and that girl made - she's got no idea what's happened.
  997. Jan 17 01:20:34 <~zoofman> Arnaldo hmmms. "Maybe...that's part of their goal. Demoralizing us. They pulled this off right under our nose, with half the fucking league here."
  998. Jan 17 01:20:36 <Saryx> Saryx checks the text after it pops up on his phone. "... Razor's summoning us with a flare, she said."
  999. Jan 17 01:21:06 <Chase> "Yes, I agree with you, Saryx, but if it's not handled right, the public will be in a panic, there'll be demanding on how long we've known this and why we've kept it secret, people will be scared to come here and the livelihood of the people here will be in danger, too. I dunno if you remember coming here last time, but this was a sleepy little port with barely any traffic. People
  1000. Jan 17 01:21:06 <Chase> are going to be depending on the Safari Zone for putting food on the table. And probably all sorts of shit will be out of whack. We need to find a good time to release information and be careful with how it's handled."

  1004. Jan 17 01:24:29 <Chase> As one final thing to Saryx, he says, "In the time I've been blessed with Truth, I figured out one thing for sure. You gotta be careful how you handle it. Truth is a strong force. It can form bonds, and it can break people."
  1005. Jan 17 01:26:25 <Chase> "Let's get to Rosetta."
  1006. Jan 17 01:27:24 <Saryx> "Yeah, I... I've seen what happens when you handle passing that on badly..." He nods in accord, a rather vivid recent mental image flashing in his head to accompany that. "... But yeah, Razor's still waiting on us! The flare came from... Thataway!" He points, leading Chase (and Gen, too, if she's inclined to come) along with.
  1007. Jan 17 01:27:55 <Saryx> Err, not inclined, but able to given she's got Hendrix to care for.
  1008. Jan 17 01:28:03 <Genevieve> Once she's made sure Hendrix is fine, Gen gets up to follow the flare.
  1009. Jan 17 01:28:06 <Chase> He follows along!
  1010. Jan 17 01:28:08 <~zoofman> Arnaldo seems more interested in getting Hendrix to a hospital and these kids secured than anything, so if Gen -does- go ahead, he'll take care of her.
  1011. Jan 17 01:29:04 <Genevieve> That'll work out fine.
  1012. Jan 17 01:29:15 <Rosetta> "Heya." Rosetta waves to Saryx as the group approaches. "Can you do that thing with the visions and shit here? I wonder if we'd get anything useful out of this."
  1013. Jan 17 01:29:25 <Saryx> Along the way, Saryx sends a text to Cerise. [Saryx here! Cleaned up the chaos over here. Checking one thing out and hopefully we'll be good. Will update you if that changes.]
  1014. Jan 17 01:30:52 <Saryx> "Oh, yeah! I can totally do that! Just give me a minute here..." Saryx starts inspecting the Gogoat corpse and the ruins of the wall once he gets over the initial shock factor of holycraptheymurderedaGogoatthoseweresocutedon'tletMetalSoundfindoutaboutthisaaaaaa;~;

  1018. Jan 17 01:32:46 <Chase> "Yeah, I don't doubt they'll adapt." he mutters. "But you know what, fuckheads? So do we!"
  1019. Jan 17 01:33:20 <~zoofman> Saryx, you see a vision of a man with a familiar mask and top hat entering this allyway in the middle of the chaos. He calmly releases a Gogoat from a Pokeball, slashes its throat with a knife, and scribes the mesage.
  1020. Jan 17 01:33:29 <~zoofman> He then calmly walks away, singing Amazing Grace.
  1021. Jan 17 01:34:27 <Rosetta> "I don't think they saw me using any birds aside from Glissani. They might not know that's my thing." Rosetta takes one of the sodas she 'holstered' earlier and cracks it open, taking a drink.
  1022. Jan 17 01:34:42 <Saryx> Saryx shudders at the end of the vision. "... He was running around the Safari Zone, too, while we were all there..."
  1023. Jan 17 01:34:54 <Chase> "You think he was?"
  1024. Jan 17 01:35:09 <Saryx> "He caught this Gogoat in there just to use it for the message!"

  1026. Jan 17 01:35:14 <Genevieve> "Of course he was." She looks at the Gogoat and activates Symbolsight. "But let's see if he can hide from a real god."
  1027. Jan 17 01:35:47 <~zoofman> Oh - for the record, Symbolsight on Jennifer would reveal she had colorful stag horns, just like a Xerneas.
  1028. Jan 17 01:36:04 <~zoofman> Her Aura is like Gen's, only color flopped from a pink to a purple.
  1029. Jan 17 01:36:24 <~zoofman> What are you hoping to see on the Gogoat, Gen?
  1030. Jan 17 01:36:40 <Genevieve> Anything that might be a sign for Dandy.
  1031. Jan 17 01:37:09 <Chase> <By the way, Gen. That girl can look like you all she likes but she can't mask her intentions. I can tell her aura from yours.> he auras to her, in case Dandy actually is around and literally observing them.
  1032. Jan 17 01:37:32 <Chase> <Just a heads up if that's ever an issue.>
  1033. Jan 17 01:37:50 <Genevieve> "Good to know."
  1034. Jan 17 01:37:56 <~zoofman> The Gogoat...has residue on it that looks like soot.
  1035. Jan 17 01:38:05 <~zoofman> You can't wipe it away, it's like it's plastered all over it.
  1036. Jan 17 01:38:09 <~zoofman> Same with the wall itself.
  1037. Jan 17 01:38:18 <~zoofman> There's not really a trail, however.
  1038. Jan 17 01:38:45 <Genevieve> "Looks like there's ash all over...this." She gestures at the scene. "Might be from Dandy. I'll keep an eye out."
  1039. Jan 17 01:38:47 <~zoofman> Given what Saryx saw was a vision, you don't see any evidence he's still here.
  1040. Jan 17 01:38:56 <~zoofman> Chase, if you'll recall, from REALLY, REALLY LONG AGO
  1041. Jan 17 01:39:10 <~zoofman> That Wanga Doll that did that freaky shit in Red Blade, had an aura that looked like it was covered in soot.
  1042. Jan 17 01:40:07 <Chase> Oh, the residue is what he can see with aura sight too?
  1043. Jan 17 01:40:29 <~zoofman> yes
  1044. Jan 17 01:40:58 <Chase> "His power's all over this. It's just like with the dolls."
  1045. Jan 17 01:41:04 <Chase> "Like soot..."
  1046. Jan 17 01:41:08 <Rosetta> "So there's something here that can be tracked?" Rosetta lets out a somewhat stiff and rigid ZODIAC.
  1047. Jan 17 01:41:24 <Chase> "Not tracked, no. Just recognized."
  1048. Jan 17 01:41:36 <Rosetta> "Hey, can you remember what this power here looks or feels like?" She points to the Gogoat.
  1049. Jan 17 01:41:41 <Chase> "Hell, if I had to guess he can probably see and hear through this blood too."
  1050. Jan 17 01:42:17 <Chase> "Let's not linger."
  1051. Jan 17 01:42:34 <Chase> He isn't really sure what Rose means.
  1052. Jan 17 01:43:01 <Rosetta> She's talking to ZODIAC.
  1053. Jan 17 01:43:09 <Chase> Oh, whoops.
  1054. Jan 17 01:43:32 <~zoofman> ZODIAC stares at it...and shakes. He is more tied to Keepers, and The Outer Gods.
  1055. Jan 17 01:43:47 <Rosetta> "Damn."
  1056. Jan 17 01:44:34 »» Aori_Radidjiu is now known as Aori_Radisleep
  1057. Jan 17 01:44:50 <Genevieve> "That being said..." she opens her bag and takes out her dissection tools. "I might be able to figure out some way to detect it."
  1058. Jan 17 01:45:08 »» Genevieve looks over the Gogoat a big and decides to take a horn.
  1059. Jan 17 01:45:27 <Chase> "Lemme know if you figure something out. Unless you guys need me, I'm going to help with the cleanup effort for a little bit."
  1060. Jan 17 01:45:55 <Chase> "And probably check in on those people that talked to us earlier."
  1061. Jan 17 01:47:58 <~zoofman> Gen has little issue removing a horn.
  1062. Jan 17 01:48:32 <Chase> "And then?"
  1063. Jan 17 01:48:39 <Chase> "Well fuck if I know. Margarita time continues."
  1064. Jan 17 01:48:43 <Chase> He starts to walk off.
  1065. Jan 17 01:49:12 <~zoofman> All in all...today didn't go super well. Shawyun eventually woke up just fine, and immediately tracked down Gen to explain his side of what happened. That girl is -freakishly- good at impersonating Gen, but she screwed up something pretty funny.
  1066. Jan 17 01:50:58 <~zoofman> A) she doesn't have the same sexy, biting sass that Gen has, B) she made a comment about the last time they 'did it.' Which sorta blew the whole thing because you guys hadn't yet. He assumes that SHE assumes that Gen is easy! Which...he tried to fight her over. And you guys saw how thta turned out.
  1067. Jan 17 01:51:22 <Genevieve> At least he tried, though.
  1068. Jan 17 01:52:03 <~zoofman> The people you know, other than Hendrix, are okay outside of a few bruises and cuts. And more importantly, you've captured a few Skull Kids. Alive.
  1069. Jan 17 01:52:11 <Saryx> ... You mean they didn't? She managed to restrain herself when a punch-spiked Shawyun was basically humping her leg?!?
  1070. Jan 17 01:52:32 <~zoofman> You guys avoided the worst of today, even if it wasn't a very great da -
