Loose Change log part 2

[22:54] <Overcity-Mall> Well
[22:55] <Overcity-Mall> The newt's said what they know and otherwise
[22:55] <Overcity-Mall> The harpy's shop is actually right over there, seems the way out put you here.
[22:55] <Tangent> "Let's do this." Amelia grumbles, the dark haired girl hefting her new sword over her shoulder and marching inside.
[22:56] <Tangent> A glance to make sure the bench is still there before she heads in.
[22:56] <Kajiya> Yep
[22:56] <Kajiya> Still there.
[22:56] <Kajiya> Still a bench.
[22:56] <Jran-Kri> Alexa strides in after Amelia. Her staff springs back into her hands. SHe holds it in front of her, keeping behind Amelia.
[22:56] <Tangent> ...She'll grab it after this. First, she needs to talk to the harpy.
[23:01] <Overcity-Mall> The harpy was at the desk, bandages covering her person, as she glared at Alexa, muttering a bit as the newt would slip into the handbag and feebly attempt to zip herself back inside for safety.
[23:02] <Tangent> Well, they can't have that. Amelia storms right up to the desk. "Hey, remember me?" She's not trying to hide her anger- or the sword.
[23:02] <Jran-Kri> "H-h-hello a-a-again," Alexa says, a ghost of her crooked grin crawling up her face like a pair of crippled worms. "M-m-miss m-m-me?"

[23:02] <Overcity-Mall> "No, but I remember your friend." she muttered with a glare.
[23:04] <Jran-Kri> "Y-y-yes, th-this... th-this i-is m-m-my friend. THEONEYOUKIDNAPPED!" Alexa suddenly exclaims, seizing up as she glares daggers at the harpy through her grin.
[23:04] <Tangent> Amelia slams her sword's hilt down onto the harpy's desk, glaring right back at her as though daring her to do something about it. "I was the talking newt." She says flatly. "And this time you're going to listen to what we're here to say."
[23:05] <Tangent> She pointedly looks around the shop for the cages. Any other newts, animals...anything else that looks even SLIGHTLY like it might be a person.
[23:06] <Overcity-Mall> "...What? Who the hell turns people into fire salamanders... no, better question, how can I call them?" she said, missing the point.
[23:06] <Overcity-Mall> Also none of them much look like they may be a person
[23:06] <Overcity-Mall> Maybe that blue bird. They stare as if they'd say something... before being distracted and fluttering about in their cage.
[23:07] <Jran-Kri> Alexa's faux-grin vanishes in an expression of twisted rage. "SHUTUPSHUTUP!" Alexa's eye twitches sharply. "W-w-we n-n-need... a... t-t-tank. Y-y-you know. F-f-for a s-s-salamander."
[23:07] <Tangent> "You were keeping PEOPLE here in those cages. PEOPLE. Not just me." Amelia snaps. "One of the others? Whose tails you were chopping..." Amelia's eyes narrow. "Alexa, hang on. That blue bird. Where'd you get it?"
[23:08] <Tangent> She stalks over. "Hey. Can you hear me?"
[23:09] <Jran-Kri> Though she looks slightly annoyed by this distraction, Alexa slithers after Amelia, glaring at the harpy all the while.
[23:09] <Overcity-Mall> "A tank? You two owe me salamanders, most of them fucking ran off!" she said, angerly and glaring back to Alexa, befor elooking back to Amelia, "And bullshit, none of them so much as spoke, and even if they 'were' people, it's not like I know who is or isn't, nor can I fix it." she said simply, before she glanced over to the bird. "Also heck if I know. Some red corrupted gem came and sold it.
[23:09] <Overcity-Mall> Said it was from a temporal anomoly or something I dunno..." she said, the bird looking to Amelia. Chirping as if it was remembering... something... nope, it diverted it's head to peck at bird seed.
[23:10] <Overcity-Mall> It keeps taking occasional glances at Alexa between pecks, but the birdseed keeps distracting it.
[23:11] == MobileKajiya [[email protected]] has joined #MGPnP
[23:11] <Tangent> "You're lucky I don't set you on fire again." Amelia snaps. "And I'm pretty sure this one's a person too. Hey..." She brushes away the birdseed. "What the hell kind of shop are you running here?!" She demands. "Give me ONE good reason why I shouldn't stop you right now for good! You're keeping PEOPLE locked up and you're still doing it, and you don't even care!"
[23:11] <Tangent> "Hey, can you hear me?"
[23:12] <Jran-Kri> Clearly having absolutely no interest in the plight of this poor bird, Alexa continues to stare at the harpy. Her eye twitches sharply, her breathing short and heavy. "YOUOWNNOTHING!" She barks, her head tilting sharply to one side. "S-s-slaver! K-k-kidnapper! Th-thief! I-i-it is n-no s-s-sin to d-d-deprive a s-s-sinner of s-s-stolen property!"
[23:13] <Tangent> Amelia's distracted by the bird. She feels sickenned. This...thing. How many people has it kept here?
[23:13] <Overcity-Mall> "What? Look, if someone comes along and can actually cure their friend who's been turned into an ottsel, then sure, fine, I'll apologize and let them back, but till that cure? They might just be bullshitting and getting a free pet. I can't run a buisness like that." she said flatly, glaring back. "Besides, if you call this slavery, then how about those other places that sell like, hundreds of
[23:13] <Overcity-Mall> animals even in the normal world? And people buy them! Then they leave em to die." she asked flatly.
[23:13] <Overcity-Mall> The bird simply chirped happily as it ate it's bird seed.
[23:13] <Overcity-Mall> It may very well just be a normal bird.
[23:13] <Tangent> "You're talking about people. And you don't even care."
[23:13] <Overcity-Mall> (Need to switch to mobile mod enow brb)
[23:14] <MobileKajiya> (10 or so minute drive, expect late responses)
[23:15] <Tangent> Amelia scowls. "Here's what we're going to do. You hurt Cadata. That's her NAME, by the way. The newt. Her name's Cadata. So you owe her for all the times you chopped her tail off. We're taking a cage for her. This bird...We're making sure it's not a person since you don't *care* enough to check." Amelia spits.
[23:15] <Tangent> "If it's not a person, we'll bring it back. If it's a person, we'll be back for another chat."
[23:15] <Jran-Kri> "N-n-normal b-b-businesses d-d-don't h-h-have p-p-people in c-c-captivity!" Alexa barks. She grips her staff tighter, shuffling in place. It takes her a moment to think of a proper reply. So, instead of waiting for a proper one, she just shakes her head and speaks anyway. "I-I-I d-d-don't c-c-care! Y-y-you t-t-took wh-what w-w-wasn't y-y-yours! THIEF! DESERVENOTHINGOWNNOTHINGARENOTHING!"
[23:16] <Tangent> "But I'm going to make you a promise. If I *ever* find another person trapped in here again, whether you know it or not...I'll end you for good."
[23:16] <Tangent> "You can't run a *business* if you're on fire." Amelia snaps.
[23:19] <MobileKajiya> "The fuck, find some proof or something to figure out if she's a person and bring her the fuck here, and if your going to pull that, you two owe me three newts, four if we count you if you're not just lieing!" She stubbornly argued back. "Besides, say you DID kill me, who's gonna even feed or take care of all the animals, hmm? Have fun dealing with some
[23:19] <MobileKajiya> without the magic to do so, I mean, it's not like half the things here have a way to kill you. Oh wait, yes they do." She said coldly
[23:20] <Jran-Kri> This is the first thing the harpy's said that hasn't sent Alexa further into a murderous rage. Rather, she finally begins to calm down, smiling again. "Th-th-that d-d-doesn't m-m-matter. I-i-if th-these a-a-are i-i-innocents, th-then th-they w-w-will b-b-be f-f-freed f-f-from th-their t-t-torment."
[23:21] <Tangent> "Considering what you did to me, I'm pretty sure they'll be better off with anyone else. You're lucky I don't just stab you for what you did." Amelia steps forward. "I'm taking the bird. I'm taking a cage. If the bird's not a person, you get it back. If it's a person, I'M coming back. Got it? Yes or no."
[23:22] <Tangent> She's oddly calm, compared to her usual rages, but the contempt in her voice is clear.

[23:49] <MobileKajiya> "Fine. Fucking brutish magical girls." She sighed in some defeat, reluctantly. "Seriously, those Puchuu say you are a force for good but I swear, a menace and ruin everything..." She groaned, shuffling the small cage Amelia was kept in. "You can find your own sand and rocks though you bandits." She muttered.
[23:51] <Tangent> "Thanks." Amelia snaps, expression curling in disgust at the mention of Puuchus, then grabs the birdcage. "Pleasure doing business." She adds, mostly out of spite. "Come on, Alexa, let's go." She turns at the doorway. "I meant what I said about people." She calls to the harpy by way of farewell. "So you'd better never have anyone trapped here ever again!"
[23:52] == MobileKajiya [[email protected]] has quit []
[23:52] <Jran-Kri> A harsh, grating wheeze leaves Alexa. "Th-th-the P-P-Puchuu w-w-will get th-theirs. SLAVERS!" Alexa says in what might be an attempt at a concilliatory tone until she shouts. She nods brusquely at Amelia, already backing out towards the door. "R-r-r-redemption c-c-can o-o-only b-b-be f-f-found through p-p-penance."
[23:52] <Overcity-Mall> "And how the FUCK am I or anyone else going to even tell?!" she shouted back annoyedly, before sighing and flopping over on the counter.
[23:54] <Tangent> "You could ASK!" Amelia yells. "Or NOT SPRAY THE TALKING ONES! OR GO TO THE DAMNED SHOPS!"
[23:54] <Tangent> Amelia slams the door hard enough to shake the glass and storms off. That's one task done, birdcage in hand...
[23:54] <Tangent> Now to grab the bench...
[23:55] <Overcity-Mall> The bench will have no qualms with being grabbed or dragged off elsewhere
[23:55] <Overcity-Mall> It's a bench after all.
[23:55] <Jran-Kri> Alexa bobs her head at Amelia, clearly somewhat enjoying this, even if it isn't all she wished for. "A-a-ask o-o-our L-Lord and s-saviour f-f-for g-g-guidance!" She shouts through the door, whirling on her heel after Amelia. She eyes the bench uneasily. "Y-y-you d-d-do r-r-realize th-that's p-p-probably a... a c-c-CORPSE, r-r-right?"
[23:55] <Tangent> "I want to check." Amelia insists stubbornly. "Even if...if it's dead...I don't want to leave her out here. It doesn't seem right. Hey, give me the tag..."
[23:56] == WhiteKnight [[email protected]] has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[23:56] <Tangent> She slips  the tag on. Hefts the bench- despite the somewhat awkward position she has to hold it in due to its size, she doesn't have issues with its weight.
[23:56] <Overcity-Mall> The bird simply chirps idly from it's cage. It is sad as the birdseed was on a container outside the cage.
[23:57] <Jran-Kri> Sighing, Alexa nonetheless retrieves the aforementioned tag, passing it to Amelia. Already carrying the tank, she is incapable of assisting her, and merely follows along.
[23:57] <Overcity-Mall> It seems to stare between Amelia and Alexa, mostly at Alexa, quite a bit. As the newt after a long while squeaks out, "I-Is it safe to come out now...?"
[23:57] <Tangent> Amelia finds herself juggling a birdcage, a sword, and a bench in both her arms- she looks faintly ridiculous. A slight, if somewhat tall girl is holding an entire bench up.
[23:57] <Tangent> "Yeah, it's over..." Amelia comments.
[23:57] <Tangent> "Jeez, Alexa, what was with the missionary stuff, anyway?"
[23:58] <Overcity-Mall> As if by good fortune, a shopping cart rolls along out from a side street.
[23:58] <Overcity-Mall> And no, there's nobody or no sign of who pushed it out in their path
[23:58] <Tangent> ...Amelia's learning to be wary of coincidences in the Overcity Mall. Still...she carefully picks her way over.
[23:58] <Jran-Kri> "Y-y-yes, i-it's s-s-safe," Alexa assures the newt, smiling crookedly down at her. Her gaze snaps up at Amelia, though. "NOTOVERONLYDELAYED." She begins to calm down a moment later, smiling thinly at Amelia. "Wh-wh-what d-d-do you m-mean?"

[00:00] <Tangent> Amelia sighs. "...Just you seem more keen on the bible stuff than usual, that's all...You feeling okay?"

[00:02] <Jran-Kri> Alexa sighs, trotting along in silence for a solid few seconds. "I-I'm... I... I am... u-unwell. B-b-but a-a-as the L-Lord c-c-cured the lepers, s-s-so c-c-can He h-help m-me."
[00:04] <Tangent> "Alexa. You are...you are wonderful just the way you are." Amelia says firmly after a moment's thought. "If you...need help, just tell me, okay?"
[00:06] <Jran-Kri> "... Th-th-the o-only h-h-help I n-n-need is i-in r-r-removing the i-i-ills of s-s-society," Alexa says bluntly, staring straight ahead. "L-l-let's b-b-bury this p-p-poor s-s-soul and b-b-be d-d-done with it."
[00:11] <Overcity-Mall> The bench can't confirm nor deny the request to this. If a person is in this bench though, that would probably be a rather horrible fate though, to be eternally burried...
[00:11] <Tangent> Amelia sighs. She looks to the bird- possibly person- instead for the moment.
[00:11] <Tangent> She keeps walking.
[00:11] <Overcity-Mall> The bird meanwhile just gives a tweet.
[00:11] <Overcity-Mall> It tilts it's head.
[00:11] <Overcity-Mall> It probably wants a cracker.
[00:12] <Tangent> ...Amelia's going to feel really stupid if it really is just a bird.
[00:14] <Tangent> "Let's just get these two back to the shop..."
[00:14] <Tangent> *the witch's shop
[00:14] <Jran-Kri> "... Y-y-yes. O-o-of c-c-course," Alexa says simply, and keeps walking.
[00:19] == LeftHandofGod [[email protected]] has joined #MGPnP
[00:19] <Overcity-Mall> The witch's shop is still there of course
[00:20] <Tangent> Well, this is awkward...
[00:21] <Tangent> Amelia pulls the cart over and glances in through the door. If Raspberry's there...
[00:25] <Overcity-Mall> Raspberry is indeed there, as she waves... "Uhhh... Um, okay the bench I get but why a bird too?"
[00:25] <Overcity-Mall> The bird is NOT happy about this corruption filled shop at all.
[00:28] <Tangent> "Ah, it's from...that pet shop, and...um, we wanted to check..." Amelia looks at the bird. "Well, that's a good sign..." She mutters. "Hey, calm down, you won't be here long..."
[00:28] <Jran-Kri> "B-b-because A-Amelia is a b-b-bleeding h-h-heart," Alexa says bluntly. "Sh-sh-she h-h-has t-t-to t-t-take e-e-every ch-chance."
[00:28] == KatBranagh [[email protected]] has joined #MGPnP
[00:29] <Tangent> "Is your aunt here, Raspberry?" Amelia asks, then winces. "Hey, checking is the right thing to do..."
[00:31] <Overcity-Mall> The bird does infact, not calm down .They infact flail in their cage frantically all the more. "Uh, yea but she was gonna take Kase home soon, why?"
[00:34] <Jran-Kri> "... The b-b-bird is... d-d-disturbed," Alexa observes in a brutally scientific way. "I-I th-think w-w-we h-have a l-live o-one.:
[00:34] <Tangent> "Yeah, I think she's a magical girl..." Amelia takes a closer look a tthe bird.
[00:36] <Overcity-Mall> The bird very much is not happy. So happy infact it starts bashing it's head on the bars to try freein gitself
[00:37] <Overcity-Mall> ...And it snaps it's neck as it flops over, twitching.
[00:37] <Overcity-Mall> ...oh. Welp.
[00:37] <Tangent> "Shit! ALEXA!"
[00:38] <Tangent> Amelia blanches, rushing over from the cart's handlebaars around to the cage.
[00:38] <Jran-Kri> Alexa takes a solid second to contemplate this. Setting down the tank, she summons her staff with a flick of the wrist and attempts to mend the bird. [Miracle Worker.]
[00:40] <Overcity-Mall> The bird twitches and it's neck snaps back into place. To which it looks around. Finds it's in a place of quite a bit of corruption. And starts freaking out again immidiately.
[00:40] <Overcity-Mall> ....You might want to opt to leave, or get it upstairs.
[00:41] <Tangent> "RIGHT TIME TO GO." Amelia rushes upstairs with the cage.
[00:42] <Jran-Kri> Sighing deeply, Alexa marches back after her, content to leave the tank now that it's at least inside of the store and not just hanging around.
[00:44] <Overcity-Mall> The bird calms down a bit. Only to spot the witch. The incredible amount of corruption. And start tweeting in a panic again. "...Uh, welcome back? What's with the bird, if I may ask?"
[00:46] == KatBranagh has changed nick to Pandafk
[00:46] <Tangent> "I got her from the pet shop, think it's a magical girl, can you please take a look before she freaks out again?" Amelia blurts, on edge between the corruption and the suicidal bird.
[00:46] <Tangent> What kind of moron was this girl?
[00:50] == Aily has changed nick to AsleepOfGaial
[00:51] <Overcity-Mall> The witch went over, despite the bird still freaking out... "Well, they won't hold still, but I can tell they seem to be a bird for all intents and purposes? No magic keeping them in this form, or if there is, it's long since settled to a point it wont' go back... Magical potential though fire, an- Ah!" she yelped, as it snapped it's own neck again trying to escape. Twitching... "...And... hmm.
[00:51] <Overcity-Mall> Well, that's probably just coincidental. Though uh, to be fair, it does have enough magical potential to recover from this, it seems to be a lesser sort of breed of phoeni-" she started, before it burst into fire. Blue fire. I mean ,it IS a blue bird after all... and which after remained was an egg sitting in ash. "...Well, that's all I can figure from this."
[00:53] <Jran-Kri> "... Y-y-you r-r-really d-d-do j-j-jump the g-g-gun, you kn-know that?" Alexa turns to Amelia, staring at her flatly. "W-w-we c-c-can't a-a-always s-s-save the i-i-innocent. B-b-best to l-l-let a-a-an i-i-innocent g-g-go to f-f-final judgement and s-s-send t-t-ten m-m-more s-s-sinners w-w-with them."
[00:55] <Tangent> "Oh. Well..." Amelia shuffles uncomfortably. "Sorry to waste your time then...I guess it really was just a bird after all..." Amelia sighs. "How much do they usually sell for? I don't want to just give her back to THAT shop owner, but it'd be stealing if I didn't pay her or something..."
[00:55] <Tangent> "They can live in the Overcity, right?"
[00:56] <Tangent> "What was coincidential, anyway?" She adds, idly.
[00:56] <Overcity-Mall> "Phoenixes? Quite a bit... and I can't much recall a blue one, let alone one with blue fire, it'll be quite expensive I'd suppose." she said, kneeling down to the egg. "Ah, though, I suppose this one isn't much for corruption..."
[00:57] <Overcity-Mall> "And yes, they could in theory. But they are worth quite a bit, I'd assume one with such a coloration would be even worth a gold coin to some." she added.
[00:57] <Tangent> "Damnit. Damnit..." Amelia grits her teeth. It rubs her the wrong way to give anything back to the harpy, let alone a bird...but it isn't a person. It never was. And she's not a thief.
[00:58] <Jran-Kri> Alexa stares at Amelia incredulously. "Sh-she i-i-is a s-s-sinner. Th-thief. Sh-she h-h-has n-n-no r-r-right to a-a-anything."
[00:58] <Tangent> "I...I guess I'll need to drop her off back at the shop." Amelia says reluctantly. "I'm not a thief." A moment's hesitation. "They don't...give anything like the tails, do they?"
[00:59] <Tangent> "It's still stealing if you do it without a reason, Alexa." Amelia says, a stubborn set to her jaw. She's in one of those moods.
[01:00] <Tangent> "Even if she's scum."
[01:01] <Overcity-Mall> "Phoenixes? Usable for quite a few things, feathers with the right magical balance are rumored to bring back the dead. Well, at least, some of the time... usually also within a certain timeframe, and magical potency or level of how, well, dead they are. A stab wound to the chest might not be as fatal as being turned into a pile of goop. Or the other way around in some cases... it's an odd balance
[01:01] <Overcity-Mall> that I'm not much familiar on, but their tears, blood, flesh and otherwise also are valued... so, well, yea." the witch stated simply.
[01:03] <Tangent> Amelia frowns. "I don't trust her not to hurt it...But it's still hers. And not a person. Damnit." She looks at the egg. "I guess that just leaves the bench outside...that's DEFINITELY a person."
[01:04] <Jran-Kri> "W-w-w-we h-h-have a r-r-reason," Alexa says slowly, having listened to this explanation with some interest. "Sh-sh-she i-i-is a s-s-slaver. S-s-sinner. Thief. Sh-sh-she h-h-has n-n-no r-r-rights."
[01:05] <Jran-Kri> "E-e-evil f-f-for e-e-evil. B-b-blood f-f-for b-b-blood."
[01:05] <Tangent> "That'd be acting just like she did." Amelia insists stubbornly. "When she does something wrong, I'll stop her. I won't do more than that, no matter how much I might want to."
[01:06] <Jran-Kri> "... Sh-sh-she h-h-has d-d-done m-m-much w-w-wrong," Alexa's gaze darkens. "A p-p-p-permant s-s-solution i-i-is n-n-necessary. A-a-all m-m-must b-b-be j-judged."
[01:07] <Tangent> "Alexa, come on!" Amelia shakes her head. "She's horrible, but hurting her more won't help anyone!"
[01:07] == AsleepOfGaial [[email protected]] has quit [Ping timeout: 240 seconds]
[01:08] <Overcity-Mall> "...Bench? Ah, well, I'll look into that. That should be simple enough, if magic keeps it in shape, there's a soul within in which it is feeding off in a resonating loop of mana, if it's a normal bench, person's dead." She said, nodding with a shrug to head back down.
[01:08] <Jran-Kri> "... Y-y-yes it w-w-will," Alexa's brow furrows even further. "Sh-she w-w-won't h-h-hurt a-a-anyone e-e-ever again>"
[01:11] <Tangent> Amelia shakes her head. "I don't want to kill someone if I don't have to..." She follows.
[01:14] <Tangent> She looks down at the birdcage. Part of her just wants to let it go, but...she isn't a thief. If it isn't a person, and the harpy isn't hurting it...
[01:15] <Overcity-Mall> The lady takes a few glances at it... "Well, yep. That person has some magical energy, they're quite aware of everything that's been going on... probably. Usually is the case for those caught up in construction storms." She sighed, looking to the duo. "Can't tell if they have any wealth for a cure though, so unless you two will cover that for her, they may be stuck as such."
[01:15] <Jran-Kri> Alexa's gaze continues to darken. "NOBODYHASTODOANYTHING!" She suddenly barks, seizing up. "Ch-Ch-Christ d-d-did n-n-not H-H-HAVE to c-c-cleanse m-m-mankind of s-s-sin -- Y-y-you d-d-do n-n-not HAVE t-t-to do ANYTHING r-r-right. SLOTHISASIN"
[01:20] <Tangent> "Alexa..." Amelia looks at a loss for words. "How much's a cure cost, anyway? Can we...leave her here for now?"
[01:21] <Jran-Kri> Running a hand through her hair, Alexa takes several deep breaths, trying to calm herself down. "R-r-right. G-g-good idea."
[01:25] <Overcity-Mall> "Here? Well, sure... the cure typically goes for a few copper, three or so. Two if some are kind... or have ulterior motives. It's a magical based one, and not one I can do for you girls... but they would be safe here. Or outside the shop in most cases." she nodded.
[01:31] <Tangent> "...Yeah, I need to get the coppers for that...they're at Kreim's place..." Amelia nods. "Thanks. Any ideas where to go if, um, she's alive?"
[01:32] <Overcity-Mall> "I can look into places, hopefully the reputable ones, but it won't be too hard. Feel free to visit any time, girls." The witch smiled with a nod.
[01:37] <Jran-Kri> "E-e-excellent. M-m-mission a-a-accomplished," Alexa clasps her hands together. "L-let's g-g-go h-home."

[01:42] <Jran-Kri> "... W-w-we are g-g-going h-h-home now," she says to Amelia, her eyes narrowing. It is not a request.
[01:43] <Tangent> "Right." Amelia nods. "I'm dropping this off, and then we're heading home, okay?"
[01:44] <Jran-Kri> "N-n-no," Alexa puts her foot down. "We. Are going. Home."
[01:44] <Jran-Kri> "... K-K-Kreimhild c-c-could u-u-use a p-p-pet, anyhow."
[01:44] == Shavyla [[email protected]] has joined #MGPnP
[01:44] <Tangent> "...We can return the bird later." Amelia concedes. "Yeah. Okay. Let's go." She reaches out for Alexa's hand.
[01:45] == Ral [[email protected]] has quit [Quit: Bye]
[01:46] <Jran-Kri> "N-n-never," Alexa insists, though she takes Amelia's hand gladly, already pulling her towards the door. "Th-th-that th-thief d-d-doesn't r-r-respect o-o-others' p-p-property. 'D-d-do unto o-others a-as y-y-you w-would have d-done unto y-y-you.' Sh-she h-h-has n-n-no r-r-right to p-p-property."

[01:46] <Tangent> Amelia frowns. "She's scum, but I don't feel right taking something like that." She insists.
[01:47] <Tangent> She shakes her head. "We'll head home now, okay? The bird can wait."
[01:47] <Jran-Kri> "I-i-it i-i-is r-r-right," Alexa says certainly. "'Do. Unto. O-o-others.' Sh-sh-she d-d-did u-unto m-m-me -- us. S-s-so n-n-now w-w-we are d-d-doing l-likewise u-unto h-her. E-evil f-f-or..." She abandons her new favourite phrase, nodding at Amelia. "Y-y-yes. H-home."
[01:50] <Tangent> Amelia sighs. "Hey, want to tell Cadata?"
[01:50] <Overcity-Mall> The pet store IS on the way back, to be fair.
[01:50] <Overcity-Mall> It's not so much a detour...
[01:51] <Overcity-Mall> ...More "The harpy will probably spot you walking off with the bird" if you don't go back.
[01:51] <Jran-Kri> Alexa silently acknowledges this fact, and does not care. "T-t-tell her wh-what."
[01:51] <Tangent> "That we're heading back?" Amelia shrugs.
[01:52] <Jran-Kri> "... Oh. Yes," Alexa opens her bag, peering in for Cadata. "G-g-guess wh-what. We-we're g-g-going h-home," she stops to pick the tank back up before departing.
[01:59] <Tangent> (Can we end it on Amelia gives the bird back, reluctantly?)
[01:59] <Tangent> (since it's a binary give it back or not situation?)
[02:00] == Karpinsky_ [[email protected]] has quit [Quit: kill]
[02:00] <Jran-Kri> ((No.))
[02:00] <Jran-Kri> ((Alexa will not accept this.))
[02:00] <Tangent> (Ah.)
[02:02] <Overcity-Mall> (Gah sry back)
[02:03] <Jran-Kri> ((NP bruv.))
[02:03] <Overcity-Mall> Cadata meanwhile is just curling up and relaxing in the hammerspace bag... they seem a bit more reluctant to be in the cage for now, mumbling 'at least give it some sand...' as she's put in. Or, left in the hammerspace bag, who knows... Either case though, if they attempt to leave without giving the bird back, well, the Harpy quite pissed follows them, "HEY! You two, mind making good on what
[02:03] <Overcity-Mall> you just said?"
[02:04] <Tangent> Wordlessly, with an apologetic look to Alexa, Amelia gives her the cage.
[02:04] <Jran-Kri> "Sh-sh-she s-s-said," Alexa corrects primly, turning to face the harpy. She sets the tank down gently, halting in place. "W-w-we -- WHAT":
[02:04] <Jran-Kri> Alexa watches Amelia return the cage with a look that could boil water.
[02:05] <Jran-Kri> "WHATAREYOUDOINGTRAITORSLOTH" Alexa promptly goes into what looks like a fit of convulsions, barely standing.
[02:06] <Tangent> "...Sorry, Alexa." Amelia says quietly, looking miserable. "Happy now?" she spits at the harpy. "I told you I'd give it back. I did."
[02:07] <Jran-Kri> "NORIGHTNORIGHT!" Alexa screeches, fit to burst a blood vessel. She breathes raggedly, staring at the harpy venemously. Her gaze snaps to Amelia in shock and betrayal.
[02:07] <Jran-Kri> Then Alexa smiles.
[02:07] <Jran-Kri> Her staff reappears in her hand with a flick of the wrist. Turning to the harpy, she launches a glob of bright red energy right into her face. [Magic Missile]

[02:10] <Overcity-Mall> Alexa's magic missile is just so barely blocked, as the harpy yelps and backs off... "The heck? Ah great it died again, oh well that'll be anotehr week. Right.... well, sorry about your psychopathic friend, but I'll see myself the HELL out of here!" The harpy said, rushing back towards her shop. (Disengage)

[02:11] <Tangent> "Go to hell!" Amelia yells after the harpy, eyes blurring as she looks to Alexa. "Alexa, stop. Please. This isn't right."
[02:13] == neemous [[email protected]] has quit [Quit: Page closed]
[02:13] <Jran-Kri> Alexa says nothing. She watches the harpy go, her master plan to force Amelia's hand dashed. She lowers her staff and then dismisses it. In total silence, she picks the tank back up and resumes their journey home.
[02:14] <Tangent> Amelia...doesn't talk either. But seems less controlled. She's actually flickering blue flame, her magic slipping from her control occasionally in her agitation.
[02:14] == Raincoat has changed nick to RaincoatZZZ
[02:15] <Jran-Kri> It is some time in their journey before Alexa speaks again.
[02:15] <Jran-Kri> "Yes it was."
[02:15] <Jran-Kri> And then she is silent.
[02:16] <Tangent> Amelia shakes her head violently, her body lit by blue flickers.
[02:17] <Tangent> She doesn't feel good about it. Part of her wishes she'd just ignored the feeling that stealing would have been wrong...but it would still have been wrong.
[02:17] <Tangent> She's more worried about Alexa. What she's been like since...it happened.
[02:21] <Overcity-Mall> The door slammed as did metal shudders  once the harpy was back inside... but beyond that, it was calm enough. THe two have an uneventful trip back to the exit, if they so desire....
[02:22] <Jran-Kri> That is the only thing Alexa desires that she is allowed to have.
[02:22] <Tangent> "...Let's go home." Amelia says flatly. Quietly.
[02:24] <Jran-Kri> "Y-y-y-yes. Lets," Alexa agrees primly.
