Pokemaids XV

[21:27:41] <[Owen]Marina> VOICEOVER:  We will travel across the land, for that is certainly what aimless adventurers do!
[21:27:55] <[Owen]Marina> VOICEOVER:  Hiker Sharon was deposited inconspicuously outside the Mt. Moon Pokecenter with a note of vague apology from the girls in her pocket.  Who knows whether or not she will become a reoccurring character…
[21:28:13] <[Owen]Marina> VOICEOVER:  The better part of the morning was spent nursing the various wounds of the various adventurers.  While the others rest, a small group of BRAVE AMAZONS venture into Pewter City to barter their Moon Stones.
[21:30:06] * Sara` takes a deep breath. o O ( I hope this goes well... )
[21:30:11] * [Owen]Marina uses her COOL SHADES to ignore any stares passersby on the street are giving them.
[21:30:33] * Komacho hasn't lost her distaste for the cities
[21:31:25] * [par]Mara is still sullen over all the damage she caused
[21:33:32] * Sara` shoves aside her worries as best she can to address the group.
[21:34:01] <Sara`> We haven't seen any good stores yet, but we should soon.
[21:34:51] * [Owen]Marina shuffles her hand across her mouth.
[21:35:25] <[Owen]Marina> "Mmrmm, I KNOW there's a mineral museum 'round the city SOMEWHERE..."
[21:35:29] * [Zem]Aleurna is gawking at all the stuff!
[21:36:55] * Sara` looks at her.
[21:37:00] <Sara`> Do you remember where at all?
[21:37:11] <[par]Mara> "Wotz a muzeum?"
[21:37:27] * Sara` glances at some of the humans nearby, then to Mara.
[21:37:54] <Sara`> A museum is where humans store a lot of their history. So people can learn about the past.
[21:38:13] * Komacho is just sticking close to Sara, she doesn't like the narrow roads and alleys
[21:38:30] <[par]Mara> "Oh neat.  Wuza rock we found today half ta do with history?"
[21:39:04] * [Owen]Marina shrugs at Sara.
[21:39:30] <[Owen]Marina> "Hell if I know; never got let outta my cage in this city..."
[21:39:46] * [Owen]Marina takes the memory in stride.
[21:40:57] <[Zem]Aleurna> "This is all so interesting!  I never would have imagined this back home!"
[21:41:23] * [Owen]Marina focuses on the OPTIMISTIC shiny girl!
[21:41:30] * Sara` responds to Mara.
[21:41:40] <Komacho> Can we just hurry up so we can go back to camp...?
[21:41:42] <[Owen]Marina> "Humans got tons o' interesting stuff, kid."
[21:41:48] <Sara`> Rocks and mountains form in special ways, so these are historical, in a way.
[21:41:53] * Sara` then stops.
[21:41:59] <[Owen]Marina> "This ain't much, really."
[21:44:25] <Sara`> Say, Marina?
[21:45:06] * [Owen]Marina looks at psychic-lady.
[21:45:10] <[Owen]Marina> "Oi?"
[21:45:15] <[Zem]Aleurna> "...there is something more impressive than this?  Then by all means, I would like to see it eventually!"
[21:46:13] <Sara`> Uh...
[21:46:16] * Sara` scratches her head.
[21:46:24] <Sara`> Do you have any idea where we are?
[21:46:29] <Sara`> I lost track of the streets...
[21:47:07] <[Owen]Marina> "You're the smart one, not me.  Ask for directions or something; I don't mind.  But NO PSYCHIC!"
[21:47:18] * [Owen]Marina turns back to Ale.
[21:47:20] <[par]Mara> 'You shul see tha combines tha I had to push at tha ranch!  They were so big.  And complex.  They were really sumthin, Miz Alerna."
[21:47:38] <[Owen]Marina> "Sorry bout that, kid; smart girl's not that smart, eh?"
[21:48:06] <Sara`> Hrm.
[21:48:21] <[Owen]Marina> "But yeah, humans build some crazy things."
[21:48:30] * [Owen]Marina stretches her arms out for emphasis.
[21:48:31] <Sara`> I'll go ask someone, then...
[21:48:35] <[Owen]Marina> "CRAAAAAZZY!"
[21:49:07] * Sara` pulls out a scrap of paper and a pen, writes her question on it, and walks to the nearest human.
[21:49:48] * Komacho keeps a careful eye on Sara
[21:51:04] <GMOwen> [Sara has had the misfortune of asking Rancher Johnson for directions!]
[21:51:46] <GMOwen> Johnson:  "Ey?  Wha, whaddya want Garde-thing?!  Get that outta my face!"
[21:52:22] * Sara` frowns, already ticked off. She raises the sheet and points at it.
[21:52:39] * [par]Mara scratches her head. There's something about this human
[21:53:27] <GMOwen> Johnson:  "Mineral museum?!  Why the hell you wanna go there?  You girls got permits to go wandering these streets in broad daylight?"
[21:54:42] * Komacho 's eyes widen
[21:55:04] * Sara` 's mood sinks a bit lower. She scribbles on the sheet. "Yes, we /do/. Where's the museum?"
[21:55:44] <GMOwen> [Marina tries very hard to ignore that jerk.  Sara's smart; she'll make it work.]
[21:56:08] * [par]Mara is becoming more curious of the man and sniffs at his feet
[21:56:40] * Johnson jumps away; he can't exactly just swat her away since she's not just some little lizard, after all.
[21:57:09] * Sara` almost snaps at her, but restrains herself.
[21:57:09] <Komacho> !
[21:57:16] <Sara`> Mara, please let me handle this...
[21:57:33] * Komacho moves fast, getting Mara away from the situation
[21:57:38] <GMOwen> Johnson:  "What the hell?!  Who's in charge of this crap?!  Why they gotta let you get street rights?!"
[21:58:10] * [par]Mara is confused by everyone's reactions
[21:58:13] * Sara` gives a single emphatic point back at her question, staring at the man.
[21:58:20] <GMOwen> [Johnson doesn't feel at all afraid.  He's used to being around tough customers.  That's what he does for a living after all.]
[21:58:51] * Komacho is just very sad at the man as she's yet again reminded why she hates cities
[21:59:53] <GMOwen> Johnson:  "Pfeh.  You wanna know the way?  How 'bout this, I tell you, but only if you take me to y'all's trainer."
[22:00:12] <GMOwen> [Johnson eyes the Luxio]
[22:01:06] <GMOwen> [Marina heard that, and DID NOT APPROVE.]
[22:01:48] <GMOwen> Marina:  "Sara, if you don't tell this guy to shove it, then I will.  I mean it."
[22:02:07] <Sara`> Just stay back.
[22:02:20] * Sara` 's own mood is rather sour as she points again, declaring her position.
[22:02:22] <GMOwen> [Marina doesn't take no orders!]
[22:02:44] * [par]Mara frowns
[22:02:54] <[par]Mara> "Why is everyone so mad?  Did i do sumin wrong?"
[22:02:54] <GMOwen> Marina:  "Hey, if he's trying to come onto her like that he deserves what I'll give him!"
[22:04:17] <GMOwen> Johnson:  "I see the bloody words, bitch!  I want your trainer, you hear?  Maybe we could conduct some business; I'm always in the mood for business..."
[22:04:53] * Sara` shouts back.
[22:05:11] <Sara`> Shut up! I'll deal with this!
[22:05:40] * Sara` has a very difficult time restraining herself. She drops the paper and pockets the pen, then focusing on the human.
[22:05:46] <GMOwen> [Marina fumes]
[22:06:04] * Sara` . o O ( Listen. We're asking for one thing. A /location./ You hear me? )
[22:06:10] * Sara` speaks directly to his mind.
[22:06:22] <GMOwen> "He's a bloody rancher, Sara!  I had to grab Mara here from idiots like these!"
[22:06:45] <GMOwen> [Johnson twitches.  Mind-speak...]
[22:06:51] <[par]Mara> "...Boss?"
[22:06:55] * [par]Mara looks at the rancher
[22:07:00] <GMOwen> Johnson:  "You... you, get, outta my head, bitch..."
[22:07:08] * Sara` shouts at Marina once more, then staring straight at the rancher.
[22:07:17] <GMOwen> Johnson:  "Outta my head!!"
[22:07:20] <Sara`> I don't like this either!
[22:07:36] * Sara` . o O ( TELL me where that museum is. )
[22:08:21] <GMOwen> [Johnson shakes his head, backing away in fear before just making a break for it.]
[22:08:57] * [Owen]Marina watches the rancher run though uncaring glasses.
[22:09:09] * [par]Mara frowns and sulks
[22:09:18] <[Owen]Marina> "...I told ya's no psychic, Sar."
[22:09:48] * [Owen]Marina crosses her arms.
[22:09:54] * Sara` shouts out in frustration.
[22:10:06] <Sara`> Gyah! I didn't throw him!
[22:10:27] * Sara` falls to a simmer.
[22:11:03] <[Owen]Marina> "Levitation, Confuzation, Mesmeration, Talkingation, whatever.  Same's the same."
[22:11:26] <[Owen]Marina> "You know he's prolly gonna call the cops like the cowards them ranchers are."
[22:12:33] <Sara`> Dammit! Agh...
[22:13:02] * Sara` slumps, realizing the full weight of the matter.
[22:13:31] <[Zem]Aleurna> "So what was he saying?"
[22:13:36] * [Owen]Marina sits down next to her, for now just being a fellow sufferer of discrimination.
[22:13:53] * [Owen]Marina turns back to Aleurna for a few seconds, explaining.
[22:14:00] * [par]Mara is just confused and sad that everyone is mad
[22:14:27] <[Owen]Marina> "He was being a jerk, acting like he wanted to buy us or some shit.  Sara just wanted directions."
[22:15:08] <[Owen]Marina> "We're prolly not gettin' food in this city anymore.  Not ta'day."
[22:15:25] <[par]Mara> "Well we are prettah good stock.  We'd prollah be worth alot."
[22:16:04] <[Zem]Aleurna> "I would not want to be bought.  The only acceptable way to catch me would be in battle!"
[22:16:10] <Sara`> Don't... talk that way, Mara.
[22:16:36] <[par]Mara> "Oh... okay Miz Sara."
[22:16:38] * [Owen]Marina tries to WATER-GUN Mara for her naivete, but the shot hits absolutely nothing at all.
[22:16:41] * Sara` , disappointed in herself, has lost much energy. She sighs.
[22:18:46] <Sara`> You're right, Marina. We should probably try tomorrow, or after, even.
[22:19:38] * [Owen]Marina pushes her hand through air.
[22:20:19] <[Owen]Marina> "Mah, Pewter's prolly, like, over-saturated with moon rocks.  Won't get a good price."
[22:20:38] <[par]Mara> "Yeah, we shuld go far away from the mountain where they're rare."
[22:20:50] <[Owen]Marina> "Plus the food here sucks, you know.  At least the crap I got back in the day did..."
[22:21:10] <[Owen]Marina> "Rocky city, rocky grub."
[22:21:24] <Sara`> Gah.
[22:21:29] <Sara`> Sorry, everyone.
[22:21:33] <[Zem]Aleurna> "So we came here because it was close?  What's the next city over the hill?"
[22:21:40] * [Owen]Marina sighs.  Store-bought Pokemon chow is the worst food...
[22:21:43] * Sara` takes the blame upon herself.
[22:22:19] <[Owen]Marina> "Cerulean.  Nice place.  Water gym.  Good girl, there~"
[22:22:48] <[par]Mara> "Watah?..."
[22:22:50] * [Owen]Marina enjoyed that fight, years and years ago...
[22:22:50] * [par]Mara shakes
[22:24:20] <[Owen]Marina> "Wait, what the hell?  We've got two teleporters, don't we?  Sara, yeah, don't we?"
[22:24:39] <Sara`> Ah, I guess we do...
[22:24:48] * [par]Mara grins
[22:24:50] * [Owen]Marina pokes Sara.  Poke poke poke poke a (wo)mon.
[22:24:53] <[par]Mara> "Good idea!"
[22:25:38] <[Zem]Aleurna> "What is a gym?"
[22:26:30] <[Owen]Marina> "A place to show people that you are AWESOME."
[22:26:45] * Sara` stands up.
[22:26:53] * [Owen]Marina points to the Pewter City gym on the hill.
[22:26:59] <[Owen]Marina> "Like that place there."
[22:28:36] <[par]Mara> "Looks big and empty."
[22:28:45] <[Owen]Marina> "Oh yeah... you don't know shit, do you kid?"
[22:28:58] <[Owen]Marina> "Forgot..."
[22:29:02] * [par]Mara frowns
[22:29:18] * [Owen]Marina smiles and pats Aleurna on the back.
[22:29:27] <[Owen]Marina> "Better learnin' it from us than from 'them', then."
[22:29:39] <Sara`> Should we try Cerulean, then?
[22:29:47] * [par]Mara shakes her head
[22:29:50] <[par]Mara> "no water!"
[22:30:59] * [Owen]Marina goes :T
[22:31:59] <[Owen]Marina> "Sara-lady."
[22:32:11] <Sara`> Yeah?
[22:33:29] <[Owen]Marina> "That Iris chick... she's in Vermillion, yeah?"
[22:33:59] <Sara`> I think so. Why do you ask?
[22:34:47] <[Owen]Marina> "She's on that Anne-boat, right?"
[22:35:31] * Sara` nods.
[22:35:40] <Sara`> Thinking of a visit?
[22:35:52] * [Owen]Marina tilts her head and sort-of nods.
[22:36:41] <[Owen]Marina> "Well, I bet that she meets plenty-a tourists that'd pay for these rocks.  We could sell 'em to her and she'd turn a profit later, yeah?"
[22:37:06] <[Zem]Aleurna> "I do not remember if you've mentioned Iris.  Who is she?"
[22:37:18] * [Owen]Marina points to Sara.
[22:37:25] <[Owen]Marina> "Her, not me."
[22:38:19] * Sara` cheers up a bit.
[22:38:29] <Sara`> The trainer we used to travel with.
[22:41:09] <Sara`> And yeah, I think that'd work.
[22:41:13] <[Zem]Aleurna> "Ah.  Oh, I remember.  The one with a checkered past!  And a checkered present..."
[22:45:42] * [Owen]Marina has no idea what that means.
[22:45:50] <[Owen]Marina> "...no idea what that means."
[22:45:58] <Sara`> Shall we go?
[22:46:02] * Sara` holds out her hands.
[22:47:24] <[Owen]Marina> "Don't furget that rest of 'em now, smart-lady~"
[22:47:49] * [Owen]Marina holds onto one of Sara's slender fingers.
[22:47:56] * [Zem]Aleurna joins hands with Marina.
[22:52:05] * [par]Mara takes hold
[22:53:40] <Sara`> Alright...
[22:54:26] * Sara` closes her eyes, focuses, and then disappears, taking everyone else with her.
[22:55:12] <[Owen]Marina> [The GM says you're now in, like, a small dirt cave that's not really a cave, just sort of an alcove in the wall.  It's pretty nice]
[22:55:43] <[Owen]Marina> [You're also in the wild, so no pesky police officers]
[22:56:29] * [par]Mara plops down on her butt
[22:56:37] <[par]Mara> "Im still hangry."
[22:58:15] <[Zem]Aleurna> "Back where I lived, there was only one solution to hunger." She grins toothily.
[22:59:57] <[par]Mara> "..wait fer boss to give ye food?"
[23:00:48] * Sara` sits down and relaxes, tired from the eventful journey.
[23:01:21] * [Owen]Marina prefers good old fashioned walking, but many others usually don't.  Efficiency, blah blah blah.
[23:03:45] <[Zem]Aleurna> "Hell no!  We hunt it ourselves, and the best hunter gets the best share!"
[23:03:58] * [par]Mara scratches her head
[23:04:00] <[par]Mara> "hunt?"
[23:05:05] * Kovacs looks a little startled at that.
[23:05:09] * Sara` fills in from a little distance.
[23:05:27] <Sara`> Going out and gathering the food yourself, basically...
[23:05:47] <[par]Mara> "Oh."
[23:09:01] <[Owen]Marina> [The GM says some of the team is asleep, or goofing off elsewhere, or nursing wounds.  People like Kovacs and Kirarin might not be like that.]
[23:09:01] * Kirarin sits on top of a rock like some kind of statue, using her tail as a lamp she continues gooming her shiny fur in silence.
[23:09:11] <Kirarin> ...
[23:09:32] <Kovacs> ...
[23:09:58] * [Owen]Marina wanders over to the base of the rock and sits down with her back to the rock.  That little kid's interesting to talk to.
[23:10:04] * Sara` is plainly tired. The group also plainly still has its moon stones.
[23:10:35] * Kirarin notice the arrival of the team, but pay it no mind.
[23:11:02] * [par]Mara notices Kirarin and waddles over to her with a big goofy smile
[23:11:26] * Kovacs notices the rest of the team and floats over, looking for something to do.
[23:15:13] <Kirarin> ...what.
[23:16:17] <[par]Mara> "You're lookan prettah today, Miz Kirarin."
[23:16:40] <Kirarin> Aren't I always?
[23:16:46] * [par]Mara chuckles
[23:16:50] <[par]Mara> "Yep."
[23:16:54] * [par]Mara sits down next to her
[23:17:16] <Kirarin> "...I assume you have business with me?"
[23:17:36] * Kirarin is not the moody unsocial little bitch today.
[23:17:46] <[Owen]Marina> "Nah.  Just... hanging out."
[23:18:27] <[par]Mara> "Uh... surah."
[23:18:33] * Kirarin is uncomfortable with more than one conversation partner.....
[23:18:34] * [par]Mara reaches to pet Kirarin
[23:18:39] * Sara` sits back and thinks to herself. o O ( ... Dammit. I like cities, but... )
[23:19:04] * Kirarin does not notice it, and is petted by surprise!
[23:19:10] <Kirarin> \SHAA!/
[23:19:30] * Kirarin is in super-cautious-and-unfriendly mode now!
[23:20:11] * [par]Mara chuckles and pets Kirarin more
[23:20:19] <[par]Mara> "Your fur surah iz soft."
[23:20:29] <[Owen]Marina> "Eeeasy there Mara.  Kirarin's a princess ya' know.  You gotta ask permission, always-always!"
[23:21:04] <[par]Mara> "Huh?  Oh.  Sorrah Miz Kirarin, I dint know.  Kin I pet ya prettah fur?"
[23:21:51] * [Zem]Aleurna returns to the cave, dead rabbit in her hands.  "This is, though easy prey, not enough for all of us.  If one of you would like to join me, we could trap bigger prey!"
[23:21:51] <Kirarin> No! You should know better!
[23:22:20] <Kirarin> Hmph! How could you be SO inconsiderate like this?! I blame upbringing for your lack of etiquette!
[23:22:24] <[par]Mara> "Wha...?"
[23:22:27] * [par]Mara sulks
[23:22:36] * Kirarin hmphs.
[23:22:43] * Kovacs grins mischeviously and pets Kirarin.
[23:22:46] <[Owen]Marina> "Kira... she was brought up in a ranch.  One of... THOSE, ranches."
[23:23:08] <[par]Mara> "I jus wanted ta appreeesheeate yer prettahness."
[23:23:31] <Kirarin> \SHAAA!/
[23:23:36] * Kirarin jumps away!
[23:23:57] <Kirarin> "Why does people always bothering me?!"
[23:24:03] * [Owen]Marina rolls her eyes.  Royalty...
[23:24:33] <[Owen]Marina> "They're just trying to tell you how beautiful y'are, Kira-kid."
[23:24:42] * Kovacs sticks her tongue out in jest.
[23:24:45] <[Owen]Marina> "In their... own ways, I guess?"
[23:25:02] * Sara` glances, and eventually, walks over.
[23:25:03] <[Owen]Marina> "Don't let it bother you."
[23:25:35] * Kovacs pets Marina, grinning again.
[23:26:19] * [Owen]Marina doesn't mind.  Lead by example; maybe it'll make Kira jealous and she'll soften up!
[23:26:41] <[Owen]Marina> "Hello, tricky-sue."
[23:26:58] <Kirarin> ...
[23:27:12] * Kirarin is kind of proud that people admires her.
[23:27:47] <Kirarin> I... I guess it's okay if you reflect on what you did.
[23:27:47] <[par]Mara> "...Kin I pet ye, Miz Kirarin?"
[23:27:54] * [par]Mara nods
[23:28:02] * Kirarin glares at Mara.
[23:28:06] <Kirarin> "Wash you hands first."
[23:28:32] * Kovacs laughs.
[23:28:34] <[par]Mara> "I'm reallah sorrah I dint ask.  I'll-  Okay um, I guess iz okay if its only a bit of watah.  Miz Marina?"
[23:28:58] * [Owen]Marina bites her lip.
[23:29:02] * Sara` looks at Aleurna's rabbit.
[23:29:09] <Sara`> I'll cook that, if you like.
[23:29:19] <[Owen]Marina> "I don't do 'a bit' Mara.  You know that."
[23:29:47] <[Owen]Marina> "I could give you a bath, maybe... if we stand that far away."
[23:29:49] <[Zem]Aleurna> "That would be nice.  Anyways, I'll try and catch another, or perhaps something bigger."
[23:29:56] * [Owen]Marina points over there, far away.
[23:30:03] <[par]Mara> 'But I dunno were ta git any otha watah."
[23:30:08] * [par]Mara nods and stands where directed
[23:30:26] <Sara`> Alright.
[23:30:43] * Kirarin eyes the event about to be unfold with enthusiasm.
[23:30:47] * Sara` begins making a small fire pit.
[23:30:53] <Sara`> Is there a river nearby?
[23:31:28] * Kovacs looks on with interest.
[23:31:48] * [Owen]Marina walks over to far away, which is a few dozen meters.
[23:32:53] <[Owen]Marina> "All right, hemm...  I can TRY to just get your hands, or... well, I could stop tryin' to be all little and give y'all a good bath."
[23:33:08] <Kovacs> Go for it, Marina!
[23:33:09] <[Owen]Marina> "Your call, Mara my lady."
[23:33:21] <[par]Mara> "uh... whateva you think I shuld Miz."
[23:33:35] <[Owen]Marina> [GM says the others can't here Mara and Marina; they're far away]
[23:33:55] * [Owen]Marina thinks...
[23:34:33] <[Owen]Marina> "Cover your eyes and hold your breath, then..."
[23:34:51] * [par]Mara nods and does so
[23:35:24] * Sara` continues about setting up the fire, hoping Mara doesn't get /too/ soaked...
[23:35:28] * [Zem]Aleurna heads out again.
[23:35:31] * [Owen]Marina gauges her distance; don't want to be TOO close.
[23:36:01] * Kirarin 's tail is wagging.
[23:36:15] * Kovacs grins. She takes the opportunity to float over and pet Kirarin before moving away quickly, but never takes her eyes off of the affair.
[23:40:10] * Sara` cleans the rabbit carefully, using techniques to avoid bloodying her hands or dress. She wrinkles her nose.
[23:40:13] * Sara` then begins cooking the rabbit on a stone slab.
[23:40:30] * [Zem]Aleurna carries in a small deer!  "Sorry to impose on you again, Sara..."
[23:40:44] * Kirarin spins to see the culprit, but can't find any!
[23:40:48] <Kirarin> ---!
[23:41:00] * [Owen]Marina gives Mara a good pre-rinse, taking care to not blast her like she's an enemy.  It's tricky to fine-tune this stuff...
[23:41:42] <[Owen]Marina> "Shoosh, there we go!  Did I hit ya's too hard?"
[23:42:48] * [par]Mara yelps and shutters. Then shakes her head
[23:42:55] <[par]Mara> "Not too hard..."
[23:44:10] * Sara` looks up.
[23:44:18] <Sara`> Oh, no problem! ah...
[23:44:37] <Sara`> Could you help clean it, though? I'm not the best at land animals.
[23:45:31] * [Owen]Marina tries phase two:  Bubblebeam bubbles!
[23:45:40] * Kirarin chuckles.
[23:45:54] <[Owen]Marina> "Let's see if I can make this'n work, then..."
[23:45:57] <Kirarin>  15...funny bunch.
[23:49:50] <[Zem]Aleurna> "Certainly."  She takes a claw and starts opening the skin delicately.
[23:50:02] * [Owen]Marina seems to be not failing.  She goes over to Mara and starts scrubbing her hide.
[23:50:16] <Sara`> Thanks.
[23:50:29] <[Owen]Marina> "Doesn't look like you've had a bath in ever, Mara!"
[23:51:02] * Sara` stands up, glad to be done with the duty. She looks over to Marina and Mara, curious how it's going...
[23:51:05] <[par]Mara> "Ya, I dun like watah."
[23:51:16] <Kirarin> Now you know why I won't let her have her way with my delicate fur.
[23:53:08] <[Owen]Marina> "Yeah, but we all need water, to live, right?"
[23:55:43] <[par]Mara> "Well I drink it.  But it duznt feel right."
[23:56:39] * Kirarin finish tidying herself up, and is now sitting straight being uselessly pretty.
[23:56:45] * [Owen]Marina shrugs, trying to polish Mara's cranium.
[23:56:54] * [par]Mara giggles
[23:57:01] <[par]Mara> "Tha tickles."
[23:57:22] * Komacho returns from the river with some delicious trout, having spent the last while fishing.
[23:58:40] * Kovacs pokes Kirarin in an effort to muss up a little of her fur before darting away again.
[23:59:01] * Kirarin spins with anger!
[23:59:39] * Komacho sees Kirarin flipping the fuck out.
[23:59:42] <Komacho> !!
[23:59:53] * [Zem]Aleurna removes and sets aside the internals in the proper places.
[23:59:54] * Kirarin spews fireball at Kovacs!
[00:00:53] * [Owen]Marina rinses Mara off.  Not a perfect job, but as good as Marina is liable to do.
[00:02:02] * [par]Mara shutters again when rinsed. She grins when done and waddles over to Kirarin after thanking Marina
[00:02:33] * Kovacs ducks to get out of the way, giggling as she goes.
[00:02:34] <Kirarin> Stop! Messing! My! Fur! Up!
[00:02:48] * Kirarin turns from Orange fox into a slightly red fox.
[00:03:00] <[par]Mara> "Miz Kirarin kin I pet ya now?"
[00:03:09] <Kovacs> Aw, mean~! I'll help you put it back if you want!
[00:03:11] <Kirarin> ...
[00:03:14] * Kirarin got an idea.
[00:03:22] <Kirarin> Sure. but after you do some task for me.
[00:03:25] * Kovacs floats back over but doesn't to anything.
[00:03:29] <Kovacs> [do]
[00:03:31] * Kirarin points at Kovacs.
[00:03:37] <[par]Mara> "...Okay."
[00:04:07] <Kovacs> Trying to manipulate someone, are we? I approve!
[00:04:10] * Kovacs grins at Kirarin.
[00:04:16] <Kirarin> Get her. tackle her. and tickle her with the intensity of the godfinger. Make it that she can't do anything but laughing. Not even breathing.
[00:04:30] <Sara`> Kirarin...
[00:04:36] * Sara` echoes disapproval.
[00:04:39] <[par]Mara> "Tackle her?"
[00:04:40] <Kirarin> Then I'll let you pet me as much as you want.
[00:04:46] * [par]Mara gets ready to HEADSMASH
[00:04:56] * [Owen]Marina walks over to this ruckus.  What's this now...?
[00:05:06] <Kirarin> as in pin her down. She moves around so quick, so that must be dealth with.
[00:05:29] * Kirarin grins with evil-ey princess smile.
[00:05:46] <[par]Mara> "Uh... okay."
[00:05:53] * [par]Mara charges Kovacs
[00:06:04] * Kovacs just grins back as she floats straight up.
[00:06:12] <Sara`> That won't-!
[00:06:14] <Kovacs> I seem to have taught you something~!
[00:06:15] * Sara` is too late.
[00:06:37] * [par]Mara leaps after her
[00:07:35] * Komacho hurries over to Sara in absolute confusion
[00:07:41] <Komacho> Sara, what's going on?!
[00:08:07] * [par]Mara uses MOLD BREAKER and tackles Kovacs out of the sky
[00:08:11] * [Zem]Aleurna ignores the drama and starts cutting it into chunks for cooking.
[00:08:33] <Kirarin> That's the way!
[00:08:36] * Kirarin snaps finger!
[00:08:43] <Sara`> Kirarin is pitting Mara against Kovacs for the right to pet her.
[00:08:51] * Sara` yells.
[00:08:55] <Sara`> Cut it out, would you?
[00:08:56] * [Owen]Marina watches.  Woah... that's, that's impressive!
[00:09:22] <Kovacs> Waa!
[00:09:29] * Kovacs is taken completely by surprise.
[00:09:39] * [par]Mara begins tickling
[00:09:57] <Komacho> ...
[00:10:27] * Kovacs can't help but laugh, even though she tries to hold it in for a second.
[00:10:39] <Kirarin> Hahahaha! Try that for size!
[00:10:42] * Kirarin laughs.
[00:12:01] * Komacho gets very agitated and walks over to Mara, pulling her off of Kovacs easily, yet not so abrupt as to hurt her
[00:12:24] * [par]Mara is confused and easily pulled off
[00:12:30] * Sara` teleports up near Kirarin.
[00:12:34] <Komacho> Mara, what are you doing?
[00:12:50] <[par]Mara> "Miz Kirarin asked me ta tickle Mistah Kovacs."
[00:12:52] * Kovacs laughs for a few seconds afterwards, sitting up when she's finished and breathing to get her wind back.
[00:13:21] <Kirarin> ?
[00:13:41] <Komacho> You really shouldn't listen to Kirarin. She'll do nothing but get you into trouble.
[00:13:52] <[par]Mara> "Reallah?"
[00:13:59] * Komacho nods solumnly
[00:14:10] * Kirarin steps away from Komacho. Musclehead... not to socialize with.
[00:14:50] * Komacho glares at Kirarin, starting trouble again. Typical for the bratty, selfish Vulpix.
[00:14:55] * Sara` looks down at Kirarin, hoping her thoughts clear by the glance alone.
[00:15:44] * [par]Mara waddles over to Kirarin
[00:17:39] <Kirarin> y-yes?
[00:18:32] <[par]Mara> "I did wot ye asked, I kin pet ye now?"
[00:18:40] <Kirarin> Ah-
[00:18:44] <Kirarin> Yes. sure.
[00:18:51] <Kirarin> I honor my promise.
[00:19:10] * Kirarin get down from her "throne" and is on equal ground with Mara.
[00:20:10] * [par]Mara sits down with a grin and pulls Kirarin into a hug. She begins petting
[00:23:30] * Komacho shakes her head as she looks at Kirarin and Mara and heads over to the fire to start cooking her fish
[00:23:38] <Kirarin> Uwah-!
[00:23:55] <Kirarin> N-Not so rough! My fur---!
[00:25:19] <[par]Mara> "O-okay."
[00:25:36] * [par]Mara manages to pet very softly, and gently
[00:26:05] * Kirarin is not used to physical contact, so she's frozen solid like a stuffed toy, closing her eyes!
[00:27:05] * [par]Mara enjoys treating Kirarin like one, repeatly gently brushing the fur on top fo the fox's head until something stops her
[00:27:51] <[Owen]Marina> [Such as the GM signaling the end of the session!  Saved by the bell, perhaps!]
[00:28:02] <[Owen]Marina> [SHAZAM!]
