[04:46] <Earthflame> [04:52] <Earthflame> [Enforcer Maddelen, are you on site?]
[04:46] <Earthflame> [04:52] <IkiryoLaptop> [I am, yes.]
[04:46] <Earthflame> [04:53] <Earthflame> [We've got some intel... And, um, some unfortunate news. We'll be with you shortly.]
[04:46] <Earthflame> [04:53] <IkiryoLaptop> [Alright.]
[04:46] <Earthflame> [04:59] <IkiryoLaptop> Before long they head outside...and are confronted with Ainlinn. She's giggling like a loon as she stares at the pair.
[04:46] <Earthflame> Tazzari pouts at her, blushing and trying to shrink behind Deirdre.
[04:49] <Ikiryo> "Aww, come on. I wanna look at the pretty maids~" She sticks out her tongue. Deirdre blushes...and poses a little.
[04:51] <Earthflame> Tazzari shudders... Leaning into Deirdre a bit, unconsciously working with the pose. "M-mean..."
[05:06] <Ikiryo> "What do you expect? I'm evil~" Ainlinn grins wider.
[05:09] <Earthflame> "...Um, Deirdre? This is Ainlinn... The, um, other person from your homeworld I mentioned..."
[05:11] <Ikiryo> Deirdre nods. "Right. Hello Mistress Ainlinn." She pauses and frowns. Ainlinn giggles "Ooh, Mistress. I like that~"
[05:11] <Earthflame> Tazzari frowns more. "Oh bother..."
[05:12] <Ikiryo> "You going to say it too Tazzari?~" Ainlinn looks over at her.
[05:12] <Earthflame> "N-no, Mistress..." She blinks, and then bites her lip, pouting more.
[05:13] <Ikiryo> Ainlinn returns to heavy laughter. "Oh, this is GREAT. Hey, where did you find this Maid mind whammy thing?"
[05:13] <Earthflame> "H-here..." Tazzari sends Ainlinn a link to the video- Not a copy. Just a way to view it~
[05:15] <Ikiryo> She goes to press the AR display...and pauses. "Wait...HOW does this work?" She makes her voice extra commanding.
[05:16] <Earthflame> "...This, um, started when I watched the video..." Tazzari shifts her feet uncomfortably. "But it might have been because I had an, um, direct neural connection... And then spent time in the, um, finishing room..."
[05:17] <Ikiryo> "...and you linked me to the same video?"
[05:18] <Earthflame> "..Yes Mistress... You, um, asked..."
[05:18] <Ikiryo> "...you were planning to make me watch it, weren't you? Get me in a maid dress too..." She narrows her eyes.
[05:18] <Earthflame> "N-no!" She trembles. "You asked..."
[05:19] <Ikiryo> Ainlinn grins "Sneaky. I approve~"
[05:20] <Earthflame> "A-anyway... We need to find the enforcer... She needs to, um, see some of the intel we've gotten... Not that part!"
[05:23] <Ikiryo> "...I dunno, I think she'd look pretty good in the maid outfit." She laughs.
[05:25] <Earthflame> "No, Ainlinn, um... That would be bad." Tazzari double-encrypts the file, embedding a 'Memetic Hazard' warning in it, just to be safe as she steps up again, looking for Tia.
[05:26] <Ikiryo> "It would be FUN." Tia is not currently in sight though she can't be far.
[05:27] <Earthflame> Tazzari pouts, taking Deirdre's hand and leading her along. "...I'm going to need, um, help to get over this... All the staff are. They were all, um, mind controlled..."
[05:28] <Ikiryo> Ainlinn sighs. "...right." She holds out a hand to stop her. "...sorry."
[05:30] <Earthflame> Tazzari gives her a little smile. "...It's, um, okay... Dierdre and I, um, mentioned it being funny earlier... Hoping we'd laugh about it later..."
[05:31] <Ikiryo> Ainlinn frowns. "You know me, I'm a sadist..." She moves foward to hug Tazzari.
[05:32] <Earthflame> Tazzari hugs her back. "It's not like that... Friends tease each other and that's, um, fine..."
[05:34] <Ikiryo> "Yeah but I was really enjoying seeing you squirm...and I kept wondering what would happen if I said 'Enjoy it' or something. Nasty things like that."
[05:36] <Earthflame> "...Deirdre and I were having fun posing earlier... We, um, like posing..."
[05:36] <Ikiryo> "I think I win the nastyness off if that's what you are going for." She gives a small smile though.
[05:37] <Earthflame> Tazzari pouts, hugging her tighter. "You're not nasty... You're my friend, Ainlinn."
[05:38] <Ikiryo> "I"m pretty sure I am nasty AND your friend."
[05:41] <Earthflame> "Still." Tazzari hugs her more tightly a moment. "Don't doubt yourself, Mistress Ainlinn... Bleh."
[05:41] <Ikiryo> "I didn't say to STOP with the mistress stuff~" She hugs back
[05:43] <Earthflame> Tazzari pouts. "...Anyway, um, where is the Enforcer? I have, um, some important stuff... Like illegal mass based weapons and compromised TSAB personnel..."
[05:43] <Ikiryo> "I'll tell you if you give me a copy of the file. It's been too long since I sent Sis a letter~"
[05:45] <Earthflame> Tazzari smirks at that... Transferring it over. "Just, um, be careful."
[05:45] <Ikiryo> "What? Don't you trust me?" She looks hurt, though her eyes twinkle.
[05:47] <Earthflame> "I trust you... I just, um... Don't accidentally mind control yourself..."
[05:47] <Ikiryo> "...you trust me? And here I thought you were the smart one." She smirks back.
[05:50] <Earthflame> "...Just, um, promise you're not going to use it for pranking anyone other than Aynfean... It's, um, really dangerous." Tazzari requests politely as they go in search of Tia.
[05:52] <Ikiryo> "You know I can't make promices I won't keep. Well, I can but I respect you."
[05:53] <Earthflame> Tazzari giggles, despite herself.
[05:54] <Ikiryo> "I promice I'll only prank people who really deserve it or it would be really funny."
[05:54] <Ikiryo> They head along. There is an ambulance here now as well as a large APC with the Saint Church logo on the side of it...
[05:57] <Earthflame> "Just remember, um... Anyone you hit with this might require long term therapy..."
[05:58] <Ikiryo> "Right. So...heheheheh." She starts snickering. "I've got some ideas on people who'll bounce right back~"
[06:00] <Earthflame> Tazzari gives her a worried look as she approacehs the ambulance and the APC, looking around. "Um, hello?"
[06:04] <Ikiryo> A few people raise eyebrows. One of them is Tia "Cadet?"
[06:06] <Earthflame> "Ah, um... Hello, Enforcer Maddelen." She curtseys, and looks extremely embarrased. "...I, um, tried to infiltrate the house, and found some good intel... But I may have been, um, exposed to a memetic hazard that was used against the staff. This is, um, Deirdre, the person I mentioned who helped me a lot... And who could use, um, a reference."
[06:07] <Ikiryo> Deirdre nods "I did my part, I would..." She pauses "Please, Mistress, if you do not mind?"
[06:10] <Ikiryo> The Enforcer raises an eyebrow "Huh."
[06:13] <Earthflame> Tazzari sends a data transfer over to the enforcer. "There's a lot, and there's probably more on their systems, but I wanted to secure as much as I could in case, um, automated failsafes deleted the secure files... I found, um, a dangerous video file of her mind controlling people, a transfer order for a group of illegal combat golems to the, um, ship used in the attack on Francisco, a list of
[06:13] <Earthflame> compromised TSAB Personnel, a cache of illegal mass based weapons, a conditioning facility..." She sighs, shaking her head. "...This place is, um, all kinds of messed up, Mistress..."
[06:16] <Ikiryo> The Enforcer nods "I'll inform the Saint Church about this...and send reports back about it."
[06:17] <Earthflame> "...I think the, um, weapons cache included a very, very illegal sort of bomb." She brings up the symbol she saw on the casing.
[06:21] <Ikiryo> Tia blinks a few times. "...is that a NUKE?"
[06:25] <Earthflame> "...Um. There was a case... I didn't open it."
[06:30] <Ikiryo> "...that crazy russian bastard." She facepalms. "I...just...I'll get to work on something there."
[06:34] <Earthflame> "Um... Right. I thought, um, the conditioned TSAB staff was also a, um, priority... And, um... A Hyperion officer was on the list, too. Um. It might be best to establish a protocol for, um, deprogramming... Since a lot of people are going to need it, Ma'am..."
[06:35] <Ikiryo> "Including you?"
[06:36] <Earthflame> "...Yes Ma'am." Tazzari looks down, blushing and shuffling her feet.
[06:38] <Ikiryo> "I had a suspicion."
[06:39] <Earthflame> "...I suppose the outfit gave it away?" She tries to smile, but it falls flat. "...I didn't realise that the Jaeger family ability, um, would function through a recording... I should have been more cautious, Mistress..."
[06:42] <Ikiryo> "Don't worry, we'll organize something to help you."
[06:44] <Earthflame> "Thank you." She smiles. "...And, um, everyone else, too... It seemed like brainwashing the staff was standard practice..."
[06:46] <Ikiryo> The other maid girl nods. "It seems so Mistress." Tia nods "Alright. I'll sort something out. You can go talk to your friends for now."
[06:51] <Earthflame> "...Um. And the reference for Deirdre? Sorry to press, Mistress, but, um... She risked a lot to help me..."
[06:53] <Ikiryo> "I will write it, yes." She smiles
[06:54] <Earthflame> "Thank you Mistress~" She sing song trills... Before looking horrified at herself. "...I think it's worse than I feared..."
[06:54] <Ikiryo> She nods "Be careful."
[06:54] <Ikiryo> Ainlinn grins "I'll take good care of her~"
[06:57] <Earthflame> "I will be." She nods. "I found enough that I think, um... The mansion will need a thorough inspection... I'm sure there were things I missed."
[06:59] <Ikiryo> "I'll communicate with the Saint Church about organizing such things."
[07:02] <Earthflame> "Thank you." She gives Tia another curtsey before moving away... Looking somewhat miserable.
[07:03] <Ikiryo> Ainlinn gives her a hug. "You ok?"
[07:04] <Earthflame> "...Yeah. Just, um... Annoying." She sighs, hugging back, looking over to Deirdre. "Are you okay? Being mind controlled isn't nice... Even if you're, um, getting used to it..."
[07:06] <Ikiryo> Deirdre shrugs "I'm not really that bothered. I sorta figure I'll leave trauma for when I'm actually sure what I'm supposed to be horrified about feeling."
[07:10] <Earthflame> Tazzari laughs a little at that. "Where are you, um, living at the moment?"
[07:11] <Ikiryo> "I have a small apartment not far away."
[07:14] <Earthflame> She nods at that. "Um, okay." She pauses, looking between Ainlinn and Deirdre. "...Is, um, everyone from your world a cynic?"
[07:15] <Ikiryo> "I'm not a cynic, I'm a realist." Ainlinn and Deirdre pause and glower at the other one.
[07:16] <Earthflame> Tazzari can't help but giggle at that. "Is that like a planetary motto, Mistress?~"
[07:19] <Ikiryo> "Don't be a smartass with me or I'll start ordering back massages and tea." Ainlinn pouts at Tazzari
[07:20] <Earthflame> "Mid-childan or Belkan?" Tazzari pauses, and bites her lip. "...Okay, I'll stop..."
[07:22] <Ikiryo> "Nope, too late now. Mid-Childen. I'm going to raid the kitchen here anyway, I'm hungry." She heads off inside...
[07:22] <Earthflame> "Yes Mistress." Tazzari grumbles, following along behind her, glancing over at Deirdre. "...You can escape, if you want."
[07:23] <Ikiryo> Ainlinn grins "Nope. I've got to watch over you both and make sure no horrible person takes advantage of you both."
[07:24] <Earthflame> "Thank you, Mistress." ...Tazzari is learning sarcasm!
[07:28] <Ikiryo> "Yay. Now...I think I'm going to find a big comfy seat and rest while you make me a sammich and tea~" She laughs
[07:28] <Earthflame> Tazzari glares at her back... Even as she follows along.
