[17:31] <Sandwitches> ----------------------------------------------------------------
[17:33] <Xanya> "Sis! Siiiis! Are you alright? I missed you!" Deko dashes through the ship, a bit out of breath.
[17:37] <Seri> She's followed by a sauntering Fangire, at least once her bike is secured in the docking bay.
[17:43] <Sandwitches> Deko finds Kiyomi on the Bridge, looking right at home commanding the staff, Misatos training having done well.  The moment she hears Deko though she spins.  "Shiranui!"
[17:45] <Xanya> "Sis!" She tackles her into a hug.
[17:45] <Xanya> "We're... we're all alright!"
[17:45] <Sandwitches> Kiyomi manages to stay upright, catching and holding her little sister...  "I was so worried..."
[17:46] <Xanya> "It's okay, Camelia kept an eye on me... I don't think I was in danger, right...?"
[17:49] <Seri> "I wouldn't dream of letting any harm come to you."
[17:50] <Sandwitches> She sighs and looks back up to Camelia....   "Thank you for looking after her Camelia..."
[17:52] <Seri> Kiyomi gets a smile from her. "I'm more than happy to help. Seems I'll be doing a bit more around here as well, since Boss wound up... it would appear in outer space, for the time being."
[17:52] <Xanya> "Yeah... that was... weird."
[17:56] <Xanya> "I think I did pretty well though. I got taken along for diplomacy, and I think that went really well! I tried to do what you'd do. I think I succeeded? Oh! And I rescued someone!"
[17:57] <RickDominated> Sulking up behind her (and actually phasing through several of the bulkheads with an ominous shadow) also joins the group is Samus, rezzing out of her pitch black armor and stretching slightly as she becomes totally corpereal again. "Yes, we all had a fine time. Agreeable to see you again, Kiyomi. Don't worry, we were all good roll models for your sister.
[17:57] <Sandwitches> "Oh?!  You did!  Good job~"  Kiyomi squeezes Deko and looks back to Camelia.  ""Thats...  not the strangest thing I could have expected.  Boss being in space I mean."
[18:01] <Seri> "He was using the Dai-Saint to fight Himika, and... well, she made him and a few of the others go blasting off."
[18:02] <Sandwitches> Kiyomi nods and looks to Samus.  "Oh, its not like you could be much worse than our uncle."
[18:07] <Seri> "Your uncle?"
[18:07] <Xanya> "H-hey."
[18:07] <RickDominated> "Ah, Family."
[18:10] <Xanya> "Um... So yeah, everything went pretty well, but I..." Deko looks down at the floor.
[18:11] <Seri> Camelia pats Deko's shoulder...
[18:12] <Xanya> "I almost did something bad, right when you got here..."
[18:18] <Sandwitches> "Eh...?"
[18:19] <RickDominated> "We had a bit of a rough go at the end of it, is all."
[18:19] <Xanya> "Um... so something happened and everyone got really angry and I got cought up with it and... I almost..." She mumbles something inaudible.
[18:22] <Seri> "Klan could explain better... but some... thing, called Envy, took on the form of her former boyfriend and tried to get us killed with a trap. We all... got a little overly heated at him in the moment."
[18:23] <RickDominated> "It posed as someone she loved before and tried to kill her."
[18:32] <Sandwitches> "...  Oh..."  Kiyomi's expression softens...  "I'm sorry you all had to go through that...  I'm sorry I didn't get here sooner."
[18:37] <Seri> Camelia reaches out, to pull Kiyomi into a hug. "We captured him with Ed's help though, and nobody got hurt."
[18:38] <Xanya> "I just... everyone was so mad... especially the old man..."
[18:38] <Xanya> "He kinda scares me..."
[18:46] *** RickDreissenated (~Rackles@4F67ED7C:11686DBA:8EA63B9E:IP) joined
[18:48] <RickDreissenated> "He kind of scares everyone, to be honest." "NOT THAT I FEEL FEAR OR ANYTHING OR THE SORT, THAT IS MERELY THE FLESHY THING BELOW ME..." Samus sighs, too tired to smack her own head to rattle the deranged Ultimate Lifeform in her mind around.
[18:49] *** RickDominated quit (Ping timeout: 240 seconds)
[19:20] <Xanya> "I think... I think everyone here has a lot of anger and frustration... is that right? I don't know..."
[19:25] <Sandwitches> "It...  might be..."  She looks to Camelia and smiles...  "But maybe...  we can guide it?"
[19:26] <Seri> "...I suppose everyone has a degree tucked inside them, though absolutely believe it can be tempered and guided, yes."
[19:27] <RickDreissenated> "I mean...why wouldn't everyone here though?" Samus adds in, not denying it, merely adding in context. "We've lost everything, over and over again, it's easy to see how you could cling to it."
[19:28] <Gulping> "Scaring people is basically my job, Ms. Aran." Gihren has bags under his eyes, his face drawn a bit. Apparently even with the new transhuman nightmare body, doing any Newtype things takes some effort. Probably because he doesn't have fine control over them.
[19:29] <Gulping> "And to be quite frank, he annoyed me."
[20:04] *** RickDreissenated changed nick to RickDominated
[20:09] <Gulping> [ignore that, was unaware it was an SS. i'm not good at paying attention]
[20:14] <Xanya> "... I don't... I don't really understand that, but I don't think it's wrong to... but at the same time, I think if everyone keeps doing that, we'll go too far... I don't want that..."
[20:15] <Xanya> "I wonder what Sensei thinks...?" Deko looks around. "Um... where did she go?"
[20:15] <Seri> Camelia nods slowly. "Of course. I wouldn't let everyone go too far. We're meant to be heroes, after a fashion. No?"
[20:18] <Sandwitches> "Sensei?"  Kiyomi looks to Cemlia and Samus..."  But I agree."
[20:19] <Xanya> "Um... the person I rescued."
[20:19] <RickDominated> "Well. Try to be, anyway." "Operative Word." "Hush you."
[20:22] <Xanya> "I think I must have left her behind when we headed in here. Oh well..."
[20:22] <Xanya> "She's nice, though."
[20:26] <Sandwitches> "So...  whats she been teaching you?"
[20:27] <RickDominated> "...surely interesting things."
[20:28] <Xanya> "Um... a bunch of subjects... a little engineering, mostly... I think I could probably make some improvements to the armor..." She mumbles
[20:35] <RickDominated> "...she's...interesting. I hope you're up on your reinessance painting, Kiyomi." "All of your human culture is subpar compared to the Chozo anyway."
[20:36] <RickDominated> "I should know. I was trapped inside an art project for a million years or so. Everything is so drool too there though. Oh here's a statue of me holding this CONVIENANTLY BALL SHAPPED reces-". Annnnd that's a headbutt into the klaster glass of the bridge
[20:38] <Seri> Camelia sighs and pulls Samus back. "Please stop fighting you two."
[20:38] <Xanya> "... Um... You going to be okay?"
[20:39] <RickDominated> "...peachy!"
[20:39] <RickDominated> She gives a thumbs up, rubbing her forehead.
[20:40] <Kaguko> "...Sometimes, two heads aren't better than one, hm?" A rather playful yet refined voice calls out from elsewhere. It's the troublesome Da Vinci-chan herself. "Mea culpa..." Latin? "I've been making repairs to my very lovely Mirage...I hope you haven't been missing me for too long."
[20:42] <Xanya> "Ah, here she is..."
[20:42] <RickDominated> Samus bites her lip, wanting to see Kiyomi's reaction to THIS bombshell.
[20:48] <Kaguko> "...I'm only now getting used to some of the more...ecclectic members of our little troupe." She offers a wave to Deko and the others. "But, now we've a chance to rest~..." Remarkably relaxed, she rather casually mentions. "Ah, right. We haven't been properly introduced..." she adds to the newcomer. "...My name is Leonardo Da Vinci. Though...my appearance might be a shocker, I suppose!" Her reaction's a bit theatrical, of course.
[20:49] <Sandwitches> "..."  Kiyomi stares at her for a loooong couple moments...  "Honestly, after meeting Spider Man, I've kind of...  stopped being surprised.
[20:50] <Kaguko> "After untold centuries being indisposed, a polymath like me is allowed a little whimsy now and then, hm?" She curtsies and is all smiles. "Oh, you'd be surprised what stranger personalities you could dredge up from history. Unfortunately, all those foolish enemies of yours found was me."
[20:51] <Seri> "I know that feeling well. We uhh... found her held captive in a base, where they were putting together mechs. We... then stole her and the mechs from the villainous cur."
[20:52] <Kaguko> "...Forgive me for being a bit eccentric. Teaming up with you has been the most excitement I've had in a while. Much more than being trapped in some botched spiritron computer system and being used as a glorified engineer."
[20:52] <RickDominated> "Hohohoho...cur? You're being corrupted slowly by me...hahahaha....." "...oh my god, hush...but yes. She's quite the interesting one."
[20:53] <Kaguko> "Quite so. If there's anything you'd need from me, please don't hesitate."
[20:53] <Sandwitches> She stops, and thinks before coming up with a term she learned from Dumi...  "You're a Heroic Spirit then?"
[20:55] <Sandwitches> "Thats...  pretty cool."
[20:57] <Xanya> "Um.. so it's okay to have her teach me things, then?"
[21:02] * Kaguko nods... "Mm, you'd be entirely right. Quite astute of you to find out so easily!"
[21:03] <Kaguko> Da Vinci adds... "Ten points, by the way. For an excellent guess. Though, I was called here through a rather convoluted means."
[21:05] <Kaguko> "...And to think that before then, my life was unremarkable, looking after a couple troubled children and and foolish--" She laughs a bit... "Ah, nevermind that. That's a story for another time. What's important is here and now."
[21:05] <Kaguko> *a foolish
[21:06] <RickDominated> "She's a talker though. Not that that's a bad thing..."
[21:13] <Seri> "I welcome the sound of friendly voices. They make everything more peaceful for me."
[21:14] <Sandwitches> "Hmm...  I have to agree...  I think my sisters found a good tutor~"
[21:14] <Xanya> "Yay~"
[21:15] <Kaguko> "...Thank you. While I may run my mouth, I consider it a privilege to speak my mind."
[21:21] <RickDominated> "...well, yeah. We can't make fun of anyone for that." "Especially with how you flap your useless, Human Gums!"
[21:21] <RickDominated> "...see?"
[21:22] <Seri> "Sami... aren't you speaking through the same human gums?"
[21:23] <Kaguko> "...I'll have you know that human gums are very extraordinary. You should be thankful..."
[21:24] <RickDominated> "Nonsense! This is merely myself speaking my exigence through the means available!"
[21:34] <Xanya> "... uh."
[21:48] <Seri> "...Right. Okay then."
