SteamMeido/GGM Session 1, Part 1

10[21:17] <Dunemaster> Romance! Adventure! MAD SCIENCE!
10[21:19] <Dunemaster> In the world of Girl Genius, the continent of Europa remains in turmoil following the devastation of the Other War. Sparks clash with one another left and right, wielding their insane creations of science.
10[21:19] <Dunemaster> Towards the south in the land of the Poles, the ruler of Tarnow is no exception to this rule.
10[21:21] <Dunemaster> Wiatr Wradyslaw Narzedzi, the hereditary ruler, begins to wake in his fortress as the sun rises.
10[21:21] <Dunemaster> But it is not he who we watch. Not today.
10[21:22] <Dunemaster> Instead, we focus upon a small group of servants, all in the service of him through another spark.
10[21:23] <Dunemaster> With their master at work elsewhere, they all awaken...
10[21:23] <Dunemaster> Let us see what begins.
[21:24] <Kris> [fzzzt]
06[21:25] * Kris is out of her condition-stabilizing pod. Without it, she can't maintain her shape for long.
06[21:25] * CCC awakens and sits up rather stiffly.
[21:25] <Kris> Nnn-aaaah....
06[21:25] * Kris stretches.
06[21:25] * Dreyse tosses in her sleep, agitated, before popping awake and sitting up. She breathes for a few moments and gets a glass of water from a bedside table, then reaches around and dons her glasses upon finding them.
06[21:26] * CCC flexes both her clank-arm and construct-arm, making sure they are not malfunctioning.
06[21:27] * Katorin snores loudly inside her bed...
[21:27] <Katorin> 14 zz... more.. no... patty.. don't take that muffin away...
[21:27] <Kris> rise and shine, rise and shine!
06[21:28] * Kris tosses her hands into the air. Literally. They comes off and plop themselves back into place when they fall down.
06[21:28] * CCC turns her neck stiffly to "Kris".
[21:28] <CCC> "Good, morning, Kris."
[21:29] <Kris> Good day to you, triple-C.
06[21:29] * Dreyse rubs her eyes under her glasses, then stretches and takes a look around. Who's up, who's up...
06[21:29] * CCC tilts her head slightly.
[21:29] <CCC> "Morning, not day."
[21:30] <Dreyse> Morning, you two. Sleep well?
06[21:30] * Kris pats CCC.
[21:30] <Kris> By day I mean the day as a whole, triple.
[21:31] <Kris> Ahh... another good day to die, marines.
06[21:31] * CCC doesn't react much to the pat.
06[21:32] * CCC turns stiffly to Dreyse.
06[21:32] * Kris stretches, showing off her size-adjustable chest.
[21:32] <CCC> "I, slept."
06[21:32] * Katorin tosses peacefully in her sleep. She seems to be reaching for something... cmon nyapples....
[21:33] <Dreyse> Well, that's good. From the sound of it you slept better than I did.
[21:33] <Kris> Wow, you can translate her speech into something understandable, Dreyse?
[21:34] <Kris> impressive feat.
06[21:34] * Kris gets off of her pod and cleans it. Morning routine, yo.
06[21:34] * CCC looks at her own feet.  They're just pearly metallic ovals with rivets and stuff.
[21:34] <CCC> "My, feet, are, impressive."
[21:35] <Dreyse> Well, sure. We certainly don't have anything like those, do we now?
[21:35] <Kris> They are, they are.
06[21:35] * Kris just smiles. Happy morning like always.
06[21:35] * CCC nods mechanically.
06[21:35] * Dreyse swings her legs over the edge of the bed, but apparently decides not to get up yet.
06[21:36] * CCC stands up and traipses over to her dresser without clothes shamelessly.  She’s a sight to see:  three out of four limbs mechanical, but elegantly-crafted and shining.  In contrast her fleshy bits are peppered with scars, stitching, and discolored skin.
06[21:38] * CCC opens it up and looks for various clothing articles.
[21:38] <Kris> ........somehow I feel like prying those stitches so much.
[21:39] <Kris> Oh well, uniform, uniform!
[21:39] <Katorin> NOO!....zzz...
[21:39] <Katorin> 15 Oranges... let them free...
06[21:39] * Kris suddenly "slithers" into the cupboard, leaving her nightdress on the ground.
06[21:39] * Kris [rumble, rumble, creak, creak]
06[21:39] * Kris appears out of the cupboard, fully dressed.
[21:40] <Kris> lala~
06[21:41] * CCC slips on heavy cloth stockings over her legs; it ALMOST looks like they're human now.  But not really.
[21:41] <Kris> need some help?
[21:41] <CCC> "I, do not, need, help."
[21:42] <Kris> [a random small thread of tentacle without origin is prying Katorin's nose.]
[21:42] <Kris> Tell me when you do, okay?
[21:42] <Katorin> ...urk.
[21:42] <CCC> "I, will, tell you."
06[21:42] * Katorin snorts.
[21:42] <Kris> fufufu~
[21:43] <Kris> [the tentacle retracts, but kinda sticks around in case there's a better opportunity.]
06[21:43] * Dreyse walks over for her own outfit, getting into it gradually and adjusting it as she goes. She finishes by flipping down the collar of her jacket and getting on a belt of tools and ammunition, then securing an underlever rifle over her back.
06[21:45] * Kris is in a black militaristic officer uniform, but with more frills than needed. It's her personal preferences. And uniforms are cool.
[21:45] <Katorin> !!
06[21:45] * Katorin eyes shoot out wide!
[21:45] <Katorin> Wah!.. something touched me!
06[21:45] * Kris retracts the tentacle posthaste!
[21:45] <Kris> what?
[21:46] <Dreyse> Oh, morning to you too then.
06[21:46] * CCC continues dressing, putting a similar stocking on her arm.  Her attire is a simple yet elegant silver skirt and vest, made of silk.  She slips some kind of backbrace on underneath it.
06[21:47] * CCC turns to the commotion, slipping on a pair of petite black leather gloves.
[21:48] <CCC> "Is, there, a problem, with some one?"
[21:48] <Katorin> Wuh--zah....back.. z... sleep...
06[21:48] * Katorin falls back into bed.
[21:48] <Kris> Morning ruckus like usual, triple.
06[21:48] * Kris 's tentacle invades Katorin's ears. and nose.
06[21:49] * CCC shakes her head, eyes vacant as usual.
[21:49] <CCC> "I do, not, understand, ruckus."
06[21:49] * Kris points at Dreyse.
[21:49] <Kris> Ask her.
06[21:50] * CCC points at Dreyse in imitation.
[21:50] <CCC> "Dreyse.  I ask, you, what is, ruckus?"
[21:51] <Katorin> AH- OK OK! I'm awake!
06[21:51] * Katorin falls off the bed with a loud THUD.
06[21:51] * Kris retracts the tentacle posthaste!
[21:51] <Kris> Good day to you, dear.
[21:52] <Dreyse> ...Eh. Think of it as... a commotion. A disturbance, usually with noise. Is that clear enough?
[21:52] <CCC> "Yes.  A disturbance, is, bad.  Then, why do, you cause a ruckus?"
06[21:53] * Kris then points at Katorin.
[21:53] <Kris> Ask her.
[21:53] <Katorin> mornin'..
06[21:53] * Katorin rubs her eyes open... smacking her lips ever so noisily.
[21:53] <CCC> points at Katorin.
[21:54] <CCC> "Katorin.  I ask, you, why do, you cause a ruckus?"
06[21:54] * Kris whistles.
[21:54] <Katorin> ...do I?
06[21:54] * Katorin thinks about it for a moment.
[21:54] <CCC> "Kris, says, there is a ruckus."
06[21:55] * Kris whistles more.
06[21:55] * CCC looks at Kris blankly.
[21:55] <Kris> hm?
[21:56] <CCC> "Kris, maybe, lied?"
[21:56] <Kris> No, not at all!
06[21:57] * Kris whistles more.
06[21:57] * CCC imitates the whistle.
[21:57] <Dreyse> Well the word's rather flexible. Maybe it was just hyperbole.
[21:58] <CCC> "This, is, confusing."
06[21:58] * Kris silently giggles and hide her face behind the pillow.
[21:58] <Kris> C....cute....
06[21:58] * CCC turns around and walks back to her bed.
[21:59] <Katorin> You did lie... urg.. if I were more awake I'd.. wring ya...
06[21:59] * Katorin gets up and brushes herself off.
[21:59] <Kris> Who's the one yelling here?
06[21:59] * Kris gets behind katorin and---
[21:59] <Kris> [something wet and slimy touches Katorin's bare back.]
[22:01] <Katorin> ..did someone...just give me a wet willy?
06[22:01] * Katorin feels her back.. oh.. its still there~
[22:01] <Kris> [wriggles wriggles.]
06[22:01] * Dreyse paces around some and hums a little to wake herself up completely.
06[22:02] * CCC sits down and straps a thick belt to her waist, with pockets for miscellaneous stuff and loops containing gigantic bullets.
06[22:03] * Katorin pulls it out and looks at this wriggling prehensile thing.. she ponders on what to do with it...
06[22:03] * Kris retracts them, looks disappointed.
[22:03] <Kris> What? no girly "kyaa~"?
[22:03] <Kris> aww...
[22:04] <Katorin> Awww...
[22:04] <Katorin> I was gonna lick and see how they taste..
06[22:05] * Katorin looks like she's drooling.
[22:05] <Dreyse> I suppose you'll both have to try something else then.
06[22:06] * CCC busies herself with cleaning her artillery rifle, which is really more like a small cannon and longer than she is tall.
[22:06] <CCC> "Does, anyone, know, what, time?"
[22:07] <Kris> Morning?
06[22:07] * Kris is using her boilogical clock only.
[22:07] <Dreyse> Hm, I thought you would know. I'd guess it to be around... sometime before eight maybe. Don't we have a clock somewhere?
[22:07] <CCC> "Morning is, not, helpful, Kris."
[22:07] <Kris> Ehhhhhh?
06[22:07] * Kris pouts.
[22:07] <Kris> but you asked!
06[22:08] * CCC turns around and attempts what might be a glare of sorts.
[22:08] <CCC> "I expected, a number, time."
[22:09] <Kris> state it next time.
06[22:09] * Kris fake-angry.
[22:10] <Dreyse> Easy there, you two. Isn't the figure I gave enough?
[22:11] <Kris> Eh, just having my fun.
[22:11] <CCC> "The figure, is, enough.  I, am, easy."
06[22:11] * Kris smiles.
06[22:11] * CCC nods stiffly.
[22:11] <Katorin> Its... a quarter past seven I think...
[22:12] <Dreyse> Good, so we're on time. Actually, I think we have a while before we need to do anything.
[22:12] <CCC> "On time, is, good."
06[22:13] * CCC stands up and straps the rifle to her back.  She's tall for a "female", but the barrel above her head makes her extremely imposing.
06[22:15] * Kris decides to put a random tophat on the barrel, for fun.
[22:15] <Kris> pip pip cheerio.
06[22:15] * Katorin is about average for a girl sadly... She's average... a lot actually... in more ways than one.
06[22:15] * CCC actually flashes a wavering grin for a few seconds, but wipes it off her face.
[22:15] <Dreyse> Actually, C three, I don't think I've asked. Do you know what the action on that is?
[22:16] <CCC> "Define, what action, please.  I do, not, understand."
[22:18] <Katorin> What are you mumbling about so early geez.. slow down.
[22:18] <Dreyse> I mean the rifle. Or... autocannon, I can't tell what caliber it is from here. Do you know what principle it uses to work? Like... to cycle rounds?
06[22:18] * CCC 's eyes show comprehension.
[22:19] <CCC> "Oh, that action.  I know, specifics."
06[22:20] * CCC unslings the rifle and holds in position.  It's gigantic; no human being could possibly hold it standing up, let alone fire it.
06[22:22] * Katorin pokes it, ooh.. shiny..
06[22:22] * Kris is now implying perverted thoughts.
[22:22] <CCC> "British CAR Make Two, Clank Artillery Rifle.  Bolt Action.  Custom twenty-two by one hundred-thirty millimeter rounds.  High explosive."
[22:23] <Kris> I'm not very keen on firearms, so I think I'll skedaddle now.
06[22:23] * Kris get to the door.
[22:23] <Katorin> Hey. waittt Kriss...
10[22:23] <Dunemaster> The door, upon inspecting it, has a note tacked to it. Its handwriting matches the master's.
[22:24] <Dreyse> That's... very impressive. I've seen similar guns, but never one quite like this one. Was it specially made?
06[22:24] * CCC slides the bolt to demonstrate.
06[22:24] * Kris reads it.
10[22:26] <Note> "Hey there. I'm guessing it'll be morning before you read this, but I had to pull an all-nighter in the third mechanics lab to finish adjustments to Narzedzi's latest battle clank. Go on and eat breakfast without me."
[22:25] <CCC> "No, not, custom.  From, Britain.  My, maker, equipped me."
[22:25] <CCC> "Built, especially for, clanks.  I am, not, clank, but I, can use, it."
06[22:26] * CCC thinks.
[22:26] <CCC> "But, maybe... I am clank.  I am, not, sure."
[22:26] <Dreyse> Well, there are certainly few of you at most!
06[22:27] * CCC puts her rifle away.
[22:27] <Katorin> Oooh~.. breakfast the seemingly important meal of the day~
[22:27] <CCC> "But, it is, support, weapon.  Not good, for, short range, except, as anti-tank."
[22:28] <Kris> Oh hey guys.
[22:28] <Dreyse> Few weapons of that type could be anything else. Huh?
[22:28] <Kris> it said we are to eat without waiting for her.
06[22:29] * Dreyse turns her head, looking on curiously, then the rest of her body follows.
[22:29] <Kris> All nighter again, huh. That's bad for her health!
06[22:30] * CCC nods stiffly.
[22:30] <CCC> "Correct."
[22:30] <Dreyse> Well, sometimes you can't help yourself. I know what it's like.
[22:32] <Kris> I don't.
[22:33] <CCC> "I, also, do not know."
[22:33] <Kris> I have to be in the conditioned pod before midnight.
[22:33] <Katorin> The master does what she can yknow?... a great person never sleeps.
06[22:33] * Kris giggles.
[22:33] <Kris> just like Cinderella!
06[22:33] * CCC wonders if she actually needs to sleep to survive.
06[22:36] * Kris just stand there, waiting.
[22:36] <Kris> So, shall we?
[22:38] <CCC> "I am, not, we, but, I shall."
06[22:38] * CCC moves for the door.
[22:39] <Katorin> Yay~ Breakfast~
06[22:39] * Katorin skips past them, humming.
06[22:39] * Dreyse follows, swaying a little as she walks.
[To be continued...]
