Nagisa Quest Fifteenth Scene

Midorikawa_Nagisa> Last time on Nagisa Quest, you slipped the helmet on. With energies coursing through it, and memories of it in a dream coursing through your brain, you slowly mastered it. It came with three abilities, two of which you upgraded. You had yet to try out the improvements. One of the abilities - Read A Person - brought Usagi on her guard, when it became evident that her eyes were magically damaged. A secret she kept h
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> idden from all around her, especially Mami, whom you blabbered in front of.
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> With a feigned grin, she told you to relax until further notice, and left, a concerned Mami following her.
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> You left with Komugi and spent time gathering information from her about Smith Weston. He wrote a book. He hwas partially beloved in the science community. Komugi adored him. You were apparently a turning point for him, in which he threw all of his skill into the thing that your family idolized: Future Tech.
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> A knock at the door cut anymore information short, Komugi escorted away by Mami. You watched what your Cambot recorded, and saw how the Loading Bay workers got in. An impressive show of force, but even more impressive, and staggering, was the fact that the Clad of Dawn was working on a doomsday device. Something that would eradicate the world in hell fire.
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> You were Midorikawa Nagisa, or Pretty Idol Beautiful Nagisa, and you were processing the information provided to you by all the sources around you. Staring at nothing, so staring at space, you didn't move. A sneaking suspicion told you that Usagi's concerned over your ability to reveal her secret. Hence why Komugi was escorted away, a scientist with the foremost knowledge on all things scientific as well as being
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> in the know about Smith Weston. She was the perfect person to fetch.
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> But the Devil, Witch, and Brick Wall were out there, lurking in the shadows, all too ready to intimidate you, and possibly Fuu. Fuu... What was her connection to those three, particularly Mari? Mari saw her as a friend, and in her tone of voice she really looked forward to playing with the hexagram middriff.
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> Within square one, what would be your square two?
<Israelhexen> Oh shit. Um.
<Udz> Is in... what do we do now?
<Israelhexen> I think we need more information on those three. Not sure how to go about getting it, though.

<Kiri-bot> Welcome back our talented Rynex.
* Kiri-bot bothugs Rynex
<Denton> Put your noir cap on!
<Udz> First, we should see if we can find out more about ourself. We plainly have missing gaps in our head. Reach into the bag, and pull out a copy of our unabridged accurate biography.
<Mai_Ikari> Investigation time, clearly. Udz makes an excellent case.
<Israelhexen> No, don't do that
<Israelhexen> the bag is powered by our imagination
<Israelhexen> Whatever we pull out isn't guaranteed to be true
<Israelhexen> Relying on information the bag itself gives us is a recipe for disaster
<Udz> Using the bag to acquire information isn't the same as relying on it. We tell the bag what we want from it, that doesn't mean it draws upon our knowledge to create the thing we pull forth
<Israelhexen> Still sounds sketchy to me, but since I don't actually have any better ideas, I'll roll with it.
<Mai_Ikari> Let's go with this, then.
<Mai_Ikari> We need to test the bag for knowledge of things we can't possibly know about.
<Udz> If nothing else, we can see what happens when we desire something from the bag we don't actually have anything for it to work off of.
<Udz> And Mai totally worded that better
<Israelhexen> Indeed
<Israelhexen> It's kind of what Mai does :3
<Udz> Shut up, you
<Mai_Ikari> The specifics, I'm not sure on, it'd be stupid-easy if we had an internet connection.
<Israelhexen> Ask the Bag; "Who'd win in a fight- Superman or Goku?"
<Mai_Ikari> (Superman, Goku isn't even a blip on Superman's overall power level)
<Israelhexen> (The answer, of course, is Sephiroth Goku the Stampede)
<Mai_Ikari> But seriously, the fastest way to find out if the bag is pulling from outside information or not is to pull out a picture of the first google image result for <a thing>, and then google it. But we lack internet, and the whole damn compound is a faraday cage last I heard.
<Israelhexen> So pull out a scifi internetsing device. We already pulled out implausible gadgets before.
<Israelhexen> It taps into subspace to connect or something.
<Mai_Ikari> If that works, we're well beyond any realm of plausability and straight into "fuck reality". Yes, let's try that. Put our lovely disinitigration switch onto Magical Internet Device so we don't have ugly questions if it works.

<Mai_Ikari> This will either demonstrate that our imagination is way better than it has any right to be, or that the bag is working properly / imaginitively.
<Udz> Alright
<Israelhexen> Yes.
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> The plan is?
<Israelhexen> Pull out magic internet device, ask the bag questions through a medium- perhaps psychic paper- and verify the results online.
<Mai_Ikari> Pull magic internet device out. Pull the first google image result for "genius" out. Google genius, check.
<Udz> A magically internet connected laptop, pull the image of the first result for a search for a single distinctive word or phrase, then google that word or phrase

<Tarot-chan> I just realized I have missed a few Nagisa's now
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> You never truly put your bag through the hoops. Sure, you summoned a few things before all this mess, and even more in this mess, but beyond that scope, you never tested it. Transforming into your tarnished armor outfit, you brought your bag out from its hiding place, and surveyed it.
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> "What are you?" You asked the bag. It gave no answer. A disappointing affair, since you half expected some sort of reply from it.
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> So far it's been powered by your imagination, but did it make up what you saw on the spot, or took from elsewhere?
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> You realized a plan, and acted on it. Thinking of a laptop with the only feature being constant, reliable internet, you plunged your hand into the bag and brought it forth. Opening it up, a white & black page with a search bar in the middle on screen, you placed it on the bed next to you.
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> Next, you thought up what you think would be a genius, and brought that image out. A photograph of several men and women in business suits stood in front of a banner for some worldwide egghead get-together. You thought you saw Smith Weston in there, but aren't positive, since you only had his death mask to compare.
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> Lastly, you typed in Genius into the search bar and hit enter. The laptop performed dutifully, giving you a page of images. Heart thundering - helmet telling you your body chemistry spiking - your blue and green eyes examined the first image...
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> A mug, with the word "Genius?" above a lightbulb.
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> Nodding, you realized that your bag was truly a summoner of items that you imagined up, that it made it up on the spot, and didn't take from the fake world around you. However, this was only the first test.
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> Do you wish to try another time, or be pleased with what you gleamed from this?
<Tarot-chan> try again but with something more objective
<Udz> One more go. Not what we think is the first thing, but the first thing to come up on the search. "give me an image of the first search result for 'Sweet Fuu'." then search for "Sweet Fuu"
<Israelhexen> Yeah.
<Tarot-chan> haha
<Mai_Ikari> Eeexcellent.
<Tarot-chan> it will be abs
<Israelhexen> Of course it will be abs
<Udz> No, that's what we think of. That's not what we're asking for.
<Israelhexen> It will be the image we pull out, not necessarily the one we find on google.
<Udz> Then the bag did it wrong.
<Udz> Whatever that might prove
<Israelhexen> Let me correct myself
<Israelhexen> it will be a picture of abs
<Udz> No, I got that
<Udz> And if that isn't the first google image result, then the bag did not give us what we requested
<Israelhexen> Haha~
<Israelhexen> Exactly
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> You weren't pleased. Another test was necessary, for clarity's sake. You had to be sure.
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> Plan B.
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> "Give me the first search result for 'Sweet Fuu'." You spoke to the bag, a first, and plunged your hand into the darkness. Out came a picture of some anime character in a red riding hood getup groped by another anime character in wolf's clothing.
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> You stared at the image. It was of poor artistic skill.
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> You searched up 'Sweet Fuu' on the laptop and up came the search page. Eyes scanning, they fall upon the first image. Match positive. Double taking the two, you determine they were identical. Twins, they were, in other words.
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> Plan A was a bust, but Plan B proved to you that wording is key.
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> Now what?
* DXM|Offski is now known as DragoonExMachina
<Israelhexen> Once more to confirm it wasn't some kind of bizarre coincidence, then we'll fish for actual information?
<Israelhexen> And hi Dragoon~
<Udz> A True and Accurate "Unabridged biography of Midorikawa Nagisa". Or a third test. Let's do a search for... "Clad of Dawn"
<Israelhexen> Inb4 the history of Nagisa looks like a Legends mode entry
<Mai_Ikari> I'd skip the third test.
<Mai_Ikari> Pull biography, consume.
<Israelhexen> You know what, yeah. Fuck patience and prudence, we've just about gone through our stockpile of such
<Israelhexen> Pull book, devour.
<Denton> You pulled the book known as Nagisa's Autobiography out of the bag and... bit into it with your teeth. Using your magically enhanced strength, you bit through the medium thick book, chewing paper, hard cover, and typed words. It was delicious~
<Udz> No, not autobiography. We want the one written about us by someone else
<Udz> If we trust to the autobiography the memory gaps are too likely to still be there.

<Tarot-chan> yeah read it all
<Tarot-chan> timeskip if necessary
<Mai_Ikari> We can make do with just the cliffnotes, but Nagisa needs the full thing. Fire up the montage! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2Ca9cQ3GV4
<Israelhexen> Oh, that reminds me
<Israelhexen> Thanks for the brief startup guide, Mai, I managed to put together a generator-pulverizer-furnace setup in SP
<Mai_Ikari> Huzzah. Feel free to check out my fort to see my strange and confusing setup of a few machines.
<Tarot-chan> yay!
<Israelhexen> I definitely will, once I work up the gumption to brave FROZEN TIME once again
<Tarot-chan> I have a generator-macerator-extractor-compressor-blank setup for kiricraft
<Tarot-chan> so you can borrow them if you throw charcoal or coal in em
<Israelhexen> What do extractors and compressors do?
<Israelhexen> In actual game terms.
<Denton> Here we go
<Israelhexen> If you say 'extract and compress' I will strangle you
<Tarot-chan> extractors actually extractor various materials from plants etc
<Tarot-chan> so rubberwood makes rubber iirc
<AFaceInTheCrowd> they contract and express
<Tarot-chan> compressors put things under a lot of pressure and make them into new things
<Israelhexen> Like what?
<Tarot-chan> like with an assload of coal and some obsidian and flint you can use them to make diamonds
<Israelhexen> Oh, that's really neat
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> No more tests! It was time for the bag to perform for you as you desired. As its sole ruler, you, with your entire being, demanded from it the one thing that you needed most now - your biography. Midorikawa Nagisa's biography. It was the height of arrogance for you to think someone wrote anything at all about you, but the slimest of chances were right there. You extended your hand to grasp that chance.
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> Out came the book. It was fairly small, not even fifty pages, from the looks of it. The book was a dark blue color, with "Midorikawa Nagisa's Biography: The Life and Times Of" in tarnished silver lettering on the front and spine.
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> Did someone actually write about you? That was... stunning, to say the least. You hadn't expected that. Plowing on ahead, you opened the book, and on the first page was something hand scrawled in red.
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> "To my Nagisa, may she rest in peace. I wrote this book in order to atone for the sin I did to her, and hope, deep inside my heart, that I will meet her again."
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> A few drops of water had touched this page, indicated by the water damage.
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> Flipping the pages, you delved right in to what this anonymous writer put down.
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> ...
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> It was fascinating. You don't remember anything from your childhood, but this person knew a lot of your childhood, supposedly. How did they manage that? From an early age, the mother left the family, leaving the father to take care of Nagisa. Nagisa lived a high class life, in a futuristic home that was clearly worlds away from any of the mundane man's problems. But despite seeing that, the writer wrote everything
<Midorikawa_Nagisa>  in a warm context, making it somehow a little more human.
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> Tragedy struck. The Future Tech project melted down. The Momomiya family ceased being anything important thereafter, while the Midorikawa family limped onward. The writer spoke of how often they came over - even sleeping over - to comfort Nagisa. You narrowed your eyes, trying to remember, but nothing came up. Why can't you remember any of this?
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> Even more tragedy struck. Nagisa's father was found dead, stabbed to death. After that, you, or this Nagisa, made a contract, and became a magical girl. The writer didn't specify the wish. The writer continued, saying how odd Nagisa became afterwards. The signs she wrote were compared to what you read from that stalker's database, and they matched. At least that much you remembered.
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> Your life became bleaker and bleaker as the writer wrote. The writer tried comforting Nagisa at that time but was pushed away. The writer tried finding her for a very long, and in that time, getting into fights with two girls by the names of Usagi and Mami. Usagi, especially. The writer then stated that Mami was the culprit in Nagisa's father's death, and that she would bring Mami to Nagisa so she could finish her
<Midorikawa_Nagisa>  off. 'It was only fair,' they had written.
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> On a certain day, the writer found Nagisa, in an underground compound. There, they melted their way down to the command center, only to find Mami down there, poised to kill.
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> A fight ensued, and in that fight, the writer heavily radiated Mami, pumping a lethal dose into her body. Dragging Mami's vomit wrecking body, they beelined to Nagisa. Finding her, they threw the dying Mami at her feet. A conversation happened between the two, and in that time, Usagi flipped. She brought her full powers to bear and nearly won, until Nagisa helped Yuna kill Usagi.
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> You stopped reading, processing what information you've taken in. This writer was going into a lot of detail, as if they lived it. As if they were there. If that was so, were they special? A magical girl? Were they... SHE? Yuna Nagisa, of the Red Ribbon?
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> You continued reading. After that fight, the writer wrote how a clapping could be heard. The Devil was clapping, as she walked toward Nagisa and the writer. The Devil spoke how beautiful their suffering was, and that she was very pleased. A killer radiance filled the air, and out stepped the Witch from behind the Devil. Mami followed Usagi into oblivion, unable to fight the voices beckoning her.
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> Many words were had, then a fight broke out in which Nagis and Writer fought the Devil, the Witch, and the Muscle Girl. They managed to take out the muscle girl, but in an unexpected turn of events, Writer's life was threatened. Nagisa ran to cover Writer, but the Devil snagged her with her power.
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> Grinning like a madman, the Devil spoke to Writer, talking about her love for the girl was futile, how she was pathetic, how she will drink the tears from her tearducts, and then ripped Nagisa into pieces.
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> Writer went on to say how horrible it was to see her limbs come off, how her screams never cease, and how she fried the entire city in radiation, turning everyone into a crisp, including the Witch and the Devil.
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> The writer wrote last that she wish she could go back, to undo her demise, and to live a peaceful life with Nagisa.
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> You closed the book, blinking your dry eyes.
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> What did you just read?
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> There was a knock at the door. Loud and clear, full of authority.
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> What did you do?
<Mai_Ikari> Book under pillow, answer door. Try not to contemplate the implications of pulling a book out of the future just yet.
<Tarot-chan> consume the book to destroy the evidence!
<Tarot-chan> or more serinously what Mai said

<Midorikawa_Nagisa> With such a heavy burden - the knowledge that book gave you - you slid the book under your pillow and stood up. Breathing in once, breathing out, you cleared your inner being with fresh air. You didn't realize it but you had been keeping your breath in while reading.
<Midorikawa_Nagisa> You walked to the door and opened it. The Bloody Empress stood there, arms at her sides, confidantly waiting for you to open up. Of all the people to knock, you didn't need it to be her.

[A break in story telling. Resumes days later.]

Mar 02 14:00:26 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	Last Time On Nagisa Quest, you experimented with your bag and found that the way you worded your requests was key to what you get. You could get something unique, or a copy of something that already existed. With that in mind, you summoned up a version of your biography, and were met with horror.
Mar 02 14:00:26 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	A tragedy scrolled by your eyes, ending with you dead in a horrific manner and with an apparent friend of yours going full meltdown as a result. As a possible future, you weren't excited to make it happen. There had to be a way you could prevent this version, or any other variation, from happening. A knock brought you to the door.
Mar 02 14:00:26 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	You were Midorikawa Nagisa, or Pretty Idol Beautiful Nagisa, and you were staring at a smiling Mari, confidence filling the air as her eyes pierced your guise. She saw through your betrayer's cloak, and only grinned more sadistically. She was your would be killer, with her special powers of gravity.
Mar 02 14:00:30 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	""I see you're done being initiated into the organization. Your rank is, Pretty Nagisa? Oh wait, I can see already. A Conquistador! My, how useful you are. Say, since you're with us, how about I show you around?"

Mar 02 14:25:50 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"Good. Come along, Pretty Nagisa." Mari stepped back, allowing room for you to get out. You closed your door behind yourself, one last look before the click at where you placed the biography.
Mar 02 14:25:50 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"I'm sure you have done your own exploring before joining but I still want to show you around. Get to know you, in a way." Mari stated, nodding her head a direction. You walked beside her, keeping your eyes away from her. That wound was downright unsettling. "You also took your time to reply." You could feel her eyes on you, and with a glance you found out you were right.
Mar 02 14:25:51 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"That's alright, isn't it? Sometimes you have to think over your answer before giving it."
Mar 02 14:25:53 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"Mmm, you're going to be a useful Conquistador with that mind set." Mari chuckled, flourishing a wave in the air. "Most of these rooms you see are bedrooms, for all the future reruits those two to place. One is yours, and a few are for me and my friends. The way they have this place laid out is that the bulk of the bedrooms are in the middle, with the more specialized rooms bordering them. Cafeteria's just a hop a
Mar 02 14:26:00 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	nd a skip from your room, right around that bend." She pointed her thumb behind herself, which was the way you two came from.
Mar 02 14:26:03 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"Down that way," to the right. "Is the command center, or so I've been told. I haven't been given permission to see it. Their recruitment room is that way, but you already know that. Now, that way." She pointed to the corridor splitting off to the left right before the cafeteria entrance. "Is the prominent way of getting to the loading bay. Are you with me so far, or should I slow down?"
Mar 02 14:26:08 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	How do you respond?
Mar 02 14:30:28 <Udz>	"Quarters, cafeteria, command center, recruitment room, loading bay. Seems straight forward, so far, now that I have a moment to consider it."

Mar 02 14:51:39 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"Quarters, cafeteria, command center, recruitment room, loading bay. Seems straight forward, so far, now that I have a moment to consider it." You kept your cool, not letting her subtle jabs worm their way under your skin, to crawl underneath in 5.1 surround sound vibrations. Mari simply smiled a dagger's width, eyes crinkling and even narrowing, as if delighted with a move you made on some absurd chess board.
Mar 02 14:51:39 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	White and black. The two colors you could always put your bet on.
Mar 02 14:51:39 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"... Good, I'll show you the rest of the compound."
Mar 02 14:51:39 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	And she did, she had you learn, or relearn from your point of view, the layout of the rooms, telling you bits and pieces of juicey knowledge on why it was this way or what they - Mami and Usagi - were thinking in setting up like this. Apparently they were genius and fools at the same time.
Mar 02 14:51:43 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	You humored her, secretly discounting most of what she said, especially her opinions, not enjoying the tiny game of who could one up the other.
Mar 02 14:51:46 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	The tour lasted, until Mami appeared before you, with her eyes hooded and expression dead.
Mar 02 14:51:48 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"Usagi wants to see you, Conquistador Midorikawa. Now."
Mar 02 14:51:50 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"Where at?" You asked, circumventing Mari in getting the first word.
Mar 02 14:51:52 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"Her private room. You have no idea where it is, so I'll lead you the way." Mami's eyes moved over your shoulder, at Mari. "She'll have to go alone. I am sure you understand."
Mar 02 14:51:55 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	Mari's smile was apparent on her voice. "I do, but I wish to continue showing Nagisa around. I want to come with her."
Mar 02 14:52:00 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	Mami's eyes narrowed a fraction. "You can after her visit." With that she turned around, indicating for you to follow her, and the two of you walked. Two sets of footsteps were joined by a third, causing Mami to stop, turn, and glare at Mari. "As I said, get lost. Now." Her words were firm. Taking the moment to look away, you stared at Mari, who cooly smiled at Mami, then flashed a magnanimous grin at you.
Mar 02 14:52:05 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"I'll see you later, okay?" You nodded, and followed Mami again.
Mar 02 14:52:07 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	In front of a door similar to every other door in every way save for one: It had a keypad on it. Mami looked at you for a second, then typed in the passord. It slide open. Mami pushed you in and the door closed immediately behind you.
Mar 02 14:52:11 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	Giving your back a look, wanting to know why Mami would push you so suddenly, you heard a noise, and faced the front of you. You were in an empty room, with Usagi staring at you. She stood in the middle, focusing her entire attention on you. Scanning you, almost. Her lips moved, and the eerie silence was broken with words that filled the room with apprehension.
Mar 02 14:52:16 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"You know, don't you? With that helmet of yours?"
Mar 02 14:52:18 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	Response?
Mar 02 14:54:37 <Mai_Ikari>	"I'm not sure what I'm knowing here?"
Mar 02 14:56:01 <Udz>	While she's looking at us so intently, scan her again, focusing on her eyes. "I have an idea, at least. There's... something wrong, with your eyes."

Mar 02 15:24:18 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"I'm not sure what you think I know... but..." You focused on her eyes, and the helmet gives you the familiar readouts, including the magical damage. "I have an idea, at least. There's... something wrong, with your eyes."
Mar 02 15:24:18 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	Usagi nodded in such a way that she didn't want to break her own neck. "Something wrong... from your stance. For me... Remember when we had that fight, and I took you home to get better?" You indicated you did remember. "Sometime afterward, slowly, everything changed. At first I thought it was a blip, something my imagination was running wild with, but no," She smiled and shook her head. "My power... allowed me to
Mar 02 15:24:18 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	 see the world as it really is. I didn't know it at the time, but I gave you that ability as well. You saw the world as it is, in that fight."
Mar 02 15:24:19 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	You shook your head. The world wasn't a fleshy tumor. It was concrete, dirt, and water. Nothing as horrific as that nightmare barrier. You said this to her, denying her words every inch you could. Usagi smiled, kinder than before.
Mar 02 15:24:23 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"Yes, it is the world, Nagisa. So that's why I had Mami bring you here. I need to ask you something." She stepped forward, wanting to reach out to you. "Help me burn it away. I want to see the green hills of earth again, the fluffy white clouds and the blue, blue sky. I want to see paradise, with the rolling waves and clear, crisp air." This was when she fell to her knees, tears breaking out as a hand of hers grab
Mar 02 15:24:30 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	bed ahold of your dirty, dark blue drape. "I'm tired of seeing blood, breathing fluids in the air, looking at bone and hearing the steady pulse of tumors on the ground. I come to this room to regain my wits, to curb the insanity that nips at my conscious every second of every day."
Mar 02 15:24:34 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	Your eyes flicker up at the room, and you were stunned to see you failed your preception roll. The room, devoid of anything, was painted wildly, with a madman's precision.
Mar 02 15:24:37 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"I haven't found a soothing color yet..." She grasped your cloth tighter, forcing you to stare at her pleading eyes, some tears rolling from them. "I know Mari pressured you into joining us, but I don't mind that... You're still my friend, Nagisa, despite our past conflicts. You've been really patient with me this far. I know about your wish, I know how you want to rule the world, but I want you to rule the correc
Mar 02 15:24:42 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	t world, not this one. This one is evil, and corrupt, and tainted. Nothing good will come of your reign. Help me set up the right world for you, please..." She appeared to be at a loss for words, groping your outfit as she whispered please over and over again.
Mar 02 15:24:46 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	Once again, she was offering you to join her in her mad quest to destroy the world. You didn't see what she saw, but you did remember her power, and having been in it once, you learned very quickly to fear it. That world was all that she said, and if she was stuck in it, it was only appropriate for her to be this way. However, you knew this was Earth that you saw, with its horrible tragedies playing out on a stage
Mar 02 15:24:51 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	 of actors. You knew if you destroyed this, a more beautiful earth will not show up. Your helmet didn't read magical damage everywhere, just on certain persons.
Mar 02 15:24:54 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	You could join her, since she was only friend in this mad place, or you could help her... Take your gun out, and let the winds of change clean the world she saw.
Mar 02 15:24:59 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	Decision, Nagisa?
Mar 02 15:25:06 <Pillows>	Face! Do you know about Legends of the Wulin?
Mar 02 15:25:24 <Pillows>	I'm thinking about using it as the basis for GE!
Mar 02 15:25:57 <AFaceInTheCrowd>	I've heard it spoken well of, but i've never played myself
Mar 02 15:27:01 <Sleepy>	Oh g-gosh, t-these decisions! D:
Mar 02 15:27:25 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	(They aren't the only ones to choose from, but just a few highlighted~)
Mar 02 15:30:40 <Mai_Ikari>	This is a tough one. She needs help, but she's asking for the wrong kind of help.
Mar 02 15:31:10 <Sleepy>	Yeah... W-we can't very well just shoot her, c-can we?
Mar 02 15:31:48 <Mai_Ikari>	Sure we could, but that won't stop the collection of psychopaths she's recruited.
Mar 02 15:32:59 <Mai_Ikari>	Pulling a nuclear device out of the bag for the greater good is a strangely appealing option, but sort of stops our world domination.
Mar 02 15:34:26 <Mai_Ikari>	Honestly, I'd use this as an excuse to put our conquistador title to use, and get her permission to leave the base in pursuit of a certain plan we have.
Mar 02 15:34:43 <Udz>	"Alright, Usagi. I'll help you make things go right." Pull out the bag. "I... lied, a little, about my power. I need to ask you keep this a secret, even from Mami. It's not limited to technological items." Reach in, pull out a contact lens case, "These are contact lenses that will hide the horror from your senses, as though it was just fevered dream that's passed. They won't last forever,
Mar 02 15:34:43 <Udz>	but they'll last long enough to let you rest."

Mar 02 15:35:46 <Sleepy>	Oh wow, this just got harder... Should we really reveal the extent of our power like that?
Mar 02 15:35:54 <Hexe>	Hm.
Mar 02 15:36:07 <Hexe>	On one hand, this is Denton, hence noir, hence >trusting people. On the other...
Mar 02 15:36:10 <Mai_Ikari>	We're not blowing that trump card, even for Usagi.
Mar 02 15:36:20 <UdzPhone>	I'm not really sure
Mar 02 15:36:38 <Mai_Ikari>	The only reason we're alive is because nobody knows how ridiculously powerful the bag is.
Mar 02 15:36:46 <Mai_Ikari>	I garuntee it.
Mar 02 15:36:50 <Hexe>	Usagi is the closest thing we have to an actual ally in this madhouse, but Mai has the right of it with regards to the Bag.
Mar 02 15:40:30 <Sleepy>	Oh wow, this is hard. D-damn you Denton! D:
Mar 02 15:40:52 <Denton>	Hehehe
Mar 02 15:41:04 <Sleepy>	Maybe we should just try to get the fuck away?
Mar 02 15:41:06 <Mai_Ikari>	It's not a good quest if every decision is easy. lol
Mar 02 15:41:25 <Denton>	So many ways of dealing with this~
Mar 02 15:41:27 <Hexe>	NOPEing out is attractive, but probably a horrible idea.
Mar 02 15:41:45 <Hexe>	(pull N'oo'p out of the Bag)
Mar 02 15:41:55 <Hexe>	(he'll know how to handle this shit)
Mar 02 15:42:30 <UdzPhone>	Then we can leave out the reveal. We could still say they're highly advanced lenses that… filter reality's quantum harmonics, paired with some earrings for the audial aspects of Usagi's malady.
Mar 02 15:42:59 <Mai_Ikari>	That's kinda what I'm suggesting Sleepy. Twist some words, buy ourselves some base leave, and be out of that madhouse long enough to actually sit down and think, rather than having to play a constant game of dodge-the-security.
Mar 02 15:43:18 <Hexe>	That sounds like a good idea.
Mar 02 15:43:40 <Hexe>	Also, if lenses, give her glasses instead. Make her into Shiki, contacts are scrub-tier.
Mar 02 15:43:56 <Mai_Ikari>	And to mix Udz's idea in, let's give her a pair of hearing aids.
Mar 02 15:44:14 <UdzPhone>	Glasses have frames, that would still allow the nightmare to leak in.
Mar 02 15:44:16 <Sleepy>	Haha, give her a blindfold and a pair of earplugs.
Mar 02 15:44:34 <Hexe>	>implying Shiki saw the lines outside the lenses of his glasses
Mar 02 15:44:35 <Mai_Ikari>	Advanced noise canceling tech is pretty damn advanced, and "We can pull any existing tech out of the bag" is how we left ourselves room for technobabble bullshit.
Mar 02 15:44:47 <UdzPhone>	That's not helpful, Sleepy!
Mar 02 15:44:51 <UdzPhone>	Exactly, Mai
Mar 02 15:44:54 <Hexe>	Are we turning her into Mao? It sounds like we're turning her into Mao
Mar 02 15:45:01 <Hexe>	This will end very well :D

Mar 02 15:46:44 <Hexe>	Nagisa Quest is on!
Mar 02 15:46:45 <Mai_Ikari>	And then ask her to do her nightmare thing again for a moment so we can get them "tuned" to the sounds. We want as little room for people to question things as possible.
Mar 02 15:47:03 <Mai_Ikari>	And if that means barfing in a toilet for a couple hours, so be it.
Mar 02 15:47:54 <Mai_Ikari>	And then, ask her permission to leave base in search of... somethingsomething bullshit tank empty.
Mar 02 15:48:04 <Sleepy>	Yeah, I think this might be a good plan. Well, good enough, haha~

Mar 02 15:48:40 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	Alright. Please sum up the plan you wish to undergo.
Mar 02 15:49:04 <Mai_Ikari>	Try to make it an actual objective so nobody calls bullshit on it after we leave.
Mar 02 15:49:52 <Hexe>	Maybe we should case Weston's joint more thoroughly, unless Usagi burned it down. I don't actually remember.
Mar 02 15:50:12 <Hexe>	That could be a mission.
Mar 02 15:51:32 <Mai_Ikari>	If Weston's stuff is intact, yeah, that's a good objective
Mar 02 15:51:38 <Hexe>	Okay.
Mar 02 15:51:39 <Mai_Ikari>	I mean, we've got this helmet.
Mar 02 15:51:47 <Mai_Ikari>	That's a sign he made good shit.
Mar 02 15:52:11 <Mai_Ikari>	If it's not, Denton please save us from our shitty memories. lol
Mar 02 15:52:27 <Denton>	Hahah
Mar 02 15:52:37 <Hexe>	So, step 1: Get earphones. Step 2: Explain earphones. Step 3: Nightmare, give earphones. Step 4: Request mission to case Weston's joint. Unless Weston's joint no longer exists, in which case we need a new objective.
Mar 02 15:52:51 <Mai_Ikari>	Yep
Mar 02 15:53:32 <Hexe>	Hell, he's the only lead we have in any direction we can actually follow up on with a better than 50/50 chance of dying messily.
Mar 02 15:53:59 <UdzPhone>	Earphones and lenses. We need to counter act the visual aspect as well
Mar 02 15:54:13 <Hexe>	Thanks, Smith! You continue being the most helpful character and you don't even exist anymore
Mar 02 15:54:23 <D->	ESPECIALLY the visual.
Mar 02 15:54:27 <Mai_Ikari>	We're holding out on lenses.
Mar 02 15:54:49 <Hexe>	We're going to relieve her suffering some, but lenses are too risky for blowing our cover.
Mar 02 15:54:54 <Mai_Ikari>	They're harder to bullshit away, and this gives us a gripping point on her.
Mar 02 15:55:08 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	Do we just summon them in front of her?
Mar 02 15:55:23 <Hexe>	Didn't we already own up to having a Bag of Technological Wonders?

Mar 02 15:56:30 <UdzPhone>	True
Mar 02 15:56:33 <Mai_Ikari>	(Save that bit for -after- getting permission)
Mar 02 15:56:58 <Mai_Ikari>	To be frank, we're trying to set ourselves up as her crack dealer. lol
Mar 02 15:57:38 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	So. Summon high tech ear buds for her, tell her they might not lost long but long enough to give her rest, ask permission to go outside, and go straight to Smith Weston's house to "case out" but in fact mull everything over?

Mar 02 16:37:42 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	You would help be her friend, since she was the only one in this mad house. You grabbed her front, and pulled her to her feet, smiling kindly for her benefit. She looked at you with some confusion in her eyes, wondering what you were doing.
Mar 02 16:37:42 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"Alright, Usagi. I'll help you make things go right. As much as I can." You brought your bag out, and reached in, thinking up a pair of earbuds that will allow normal sounds in, but filter the crazy noises of that warped barrier out. You hand them to her, and she gave them a look before going back at you.
Mar 02 16:37:42 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"They are special earbuds, able to cancel out what you hear from the tainted world. Don't worry, you can still hear normal sounds like people talking. It'll offer you some form of rest, but they won't last for very long."
Mar 02 16:37:44 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"How long?"
Mar 02 16:37:46 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"I have no idea. Eight hours, maybe. I haven't timed their longevity."
Mar 02 16:37:48 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"B-but... Nagisa... this is great and all, but why don't you just give me something to take care of what I see?" Usagi scrunches her eyebrows. You thought over your answer, eyes going over the wild patterns of mixed paint, then you slowly told her that it would be too cruel for you to offer her the green hills of earth, and the blue, blue skies for just eight hours, only to have you see the gore she was so used to.
Mar 02 16:37:53 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	Usagi teared up, nodding as she placed the earbuds into her ears. "Th-thanks Nagisa..."
Mar 02 16:37:57 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"Now, Usagi..." You locked eyes with her, a plan formulating in your head. "I request permission to go outside on a scavange mission."
Mar 02 16:38:00 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"But... No Nagisa, the dangers are too great. I can't allow you to go outside right now."
Mar 02 16:38:02 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"I'll be cautious, Usagi. I won't throw myself into harm's way that easily, especially now that I'm apart of your organization. Please allow me to go outside."
Mar 02 16:38:05 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"... I'll send Beautiful Sumire with you, just to be safe." You shook your head.
Mar 02 16:38:07 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"No, I won't be needing anyone else. In fact, it'll get me caught quicker if I have someone with me."
Mar 02 16:38:09 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	Usagi stared at you, debating over your request. You stared right back, mimicing Mami's dead pan expression, waiting for Usagi's verdict.
Mar 02 16:38:12 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"Fine. Do NOT let yourself get caught, Nagisa. Things will get ugly once you do." You nodded, saying you fully understand.
Mar 02 16:38:15 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	Usagi noded, and strode to the keypad, muttering the password aloud. It apparently was the flavor of what she saw and heard all the time. The door opened to a scene between Mari and Mami.
Mar 02 16:38:18 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"I told you, not to follow."
Mar 02 16:38:20 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"I didn't. I came here to wait for Nagisa to finish... which she has." Mari indicated with a hand wave, Mami following the hand to see you and Usagi standing there.
Mar 02 16:38:23 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"Everything... alright?" Usagi asked cautiously, staring at the two. Mami sighed deeply, blanking her scary looking face. "Not quite."
Mar 02 16:38:28 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"Nothing's the problem, Elegant Knight. I just wanted to see my friend Nagisa around the place, and spend more time with her." Mari smiled, cutting through and touching you on your shoulder. Your skin crawled. You couldn't take the physical contact, her presence too much, but you held it in.
Mar 02 16:38:32 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"We'll talk later, Mami, for now... I'm sending Nagisa outside. Official business." Mami wanted to ask something, but merely looked at her cohort in silence, gleaming the answers she wanted from her eyes. She then pivoted her gaze at you.
Mar 02 16:38:36 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"Where to, Midorikawa?"
Mar 02 16:38:38 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"Smith Weston's house."
Mar 02 16:38:40 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	Usagi stepped out into the illuminated hallway, her shadow following her. Mami unsheathed her dagger and stabbed the shadow, ripping it in half to summon a portal. In the swirling energies of the oval, Smith Weston's abode peered forth. It looked undisturbed.
Mar 02 16:38:44 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"Jump through whenever you're ready."
Mar 02 16:38:46 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"Oooh, a mission, and so soon." Mari murmured into your ear. "What are you doing, Nagisa?"
Mar 02 16:38:48 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	You ignored her, staring at both Usagi and Mami.
Mar 02 16:38:50 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	Maybe you should say, or ask something, before you leave. But what?
Mar 02 16:43:17 <ToniAra>	We should know how to get back when we need to, shouldn't we? And assure them we shall do everything within our power to not be claimed by /our/ mystery enemy.
Mar 02 16:47:11 <Mai_Ikari>	Basically that.
Mar 02 16:47:21 <Hexe>	Mm.
Mar 02 16:48:12 <Udz>	We could pull a device to hack the base's comms, but it would probably be better not to do that.
Mar 02 16:50:53 <Mai_Ikari>	Yeah, a bit late for any dickery.
Mar 02 16:51:29 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	Nothing for Mami?
Mar 02 16:52:37 <Mai_Ikari>	Well yeah, should probably ask what she wanted.
Mar 02 16:53:01 <Mai_Ikari>	If it's something terrible, we've got a convenient "Please hold for several planetary rotations" excuse.
Mar 02 16:56:37 <Udz>	"Thank you Mami. See you all soon." Then step through.
Mar 02 17:04:04 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"How will I get back?"
Mar 02 17:04:04 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"I'll give you... a day, a full 24 hours to do what you need to do. Once that day's up, be at his house again, and wait for the portal to appear in the front lawn." Usagi told you, then added. "Do you understand? Not a minute over."
Mar 02 17:04:04 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"Yes, I understand. Don't worry, whoever or whatever is after me, I won't let myself be in danger." You looked at Mami, who was patiently staring at you.
Mar 02 17:04:04 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"Do you want anything?"
Mar 02 17:04:06 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	With such an open ended question, you didn't expect the reaction you received. The smallest traces of sorrow entered her face, her head downtilting a tiny bit.
Mar 02 17:04:09 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"If you find my fortune there, bring it back." She whispered. You hesitated, breath catching in your throat. What a personal thing to say! She pointed at the portal, sensing everyones' stares.
Mar 02 17:04:12 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	"Just get in there, right now."
Mar 02 17:04:14 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	You nodded, murmured a thank you, Mami and see you all soon, and leapt into the portal without looking back. Usagi giggled, muttering something you didn't quite catch. Something about not being in danger of SHE, but of SHE being in danger of HER.
Mar 02 17:04:18 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	The curtains fall, the act fades. The cosmic forces grow weary of the snail's pace. The actors, sensing this, hustled back and forth, memorizing their lines and working on the razor sharp edge of fear. Their greatest acting will be seen. The betrayer jumps into uncertain times, near familiar territory, with freedom in sight, but a nagging sensation that everything was about to go pear shaped.
Mar 02 17:04:23 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	The proper story was about to begin.
Mar 02 17:04:27 <Midorikawa_Nagisa>	[Chikuwaaa]
Mar 02 17:05:10 <Pillows>	Chikuwa!
Mar 02 17:05:12 *	Pillows noms.
