  1. Nov 25 20:04:44 <~zoofman> Last week we left off with you guys getting ready to leave this...monastery, you guess would be the word for it.
  2. Nov 25 20:05:33 <~zoofman> At this monastery, you found a couple hundred or so Unown floating around, some ancient ruins, and one very ill and slightly crazy young woman.
  3. Nov 25 20:06:01 <~zoofman> As I recall, you were getting ready to locate the other survivors!
  4. Nov 25 20:06:21 <Chase> That would be correct!
  5. Nov 25 20:07:45 <~zoofman> It's around 2 AM, Friday. You know that the girl called 'Cookie' is somewhere south of your location, gathering food from her fishing nets.
  6. Nov 25 20:08:27 <~zoofman> You also know that Robin, and the Captain are around somewhere in the forest to your west. Along with a lot of hostile locals.
  7. Nov 25 20:08:57 <~zoofman> Even at this hour of the morning you hear the echo of war drums in that forest - whatever dwells there ain't sleeping tonight.
  8. Nov 25 20:10:14 »» Rosetta is rallying a group of the Unown to come along and help as she heads south.
  9. Nov 25 20:11:38 »» Chase is already on Brahms, getting ready to go look for this chick - and then his sister.
  10. Nov 25 20:11:53 <~zoofman> The Unown are very easy to draw to you, Rosetta, but what exactly are you asking them to do or help with?
  11. Nov 25 20:12:37 <Rosetta> If they know precisely where these nets are, that'd cut down on the need for more risky exploring and searching.
  12. Nov 25 20:14:16 <~zoofman> Roll me Command + Occult
  13. Nov 25 20:15:02 ---» DiceMaid-9001 (DiceMaid-9@sux-EADD5C74) has Joined #easternislesrhapsody
  14. Nov 25 20:16:17 <Rosetta> 1d6-1 command; 3d6+1 occult
  15. Nov 25 20:16:18 <DiceMaid-9001> Rosetta, command: 4 [1d6=5]; occult: 12 [3d6=5,3,3]
  16. Nov 25 20:17:46 <~zoofman> Most of the cloud don't get it, but you get about 6 of them to bob along with you for now!
  17. Nov 25 20:21:46 »» Chase doesn't really know which direction they're going, but whichever way he scans the coastline and looks worriedly towards the west forest.
  18. Nov 25 20:23:07 <~zoofman> Shark Fighter watches you do this, and once the six stick around, starts to hrm and haw at the collection of letters you got. A, B, E, R, S, U
  19. Nov 25 20:24:14 <~zoofman> Well, Chase, Cyclops told you the fishing nets are mostly along the southern coast - which from here means you can see the field around the monastery stretch out to a small, forested area, and beyond that a lake. In the veeerrry far distance after the lake, you can see the coast. Sorta. All you really got is moon light to go by.
  20. Nov 25 20:26:07 »» Chase urges Brahms south, then! He doesn't even really wait around for the others, dude is suddenly in a hurry.
  21. Nov 25 20:27:22 <~zoofman> Shark Fighter looks to the bat that's leaving the rest of you behind, and shakes his Unown Spear at it. "Shark!"
  22. Nov 25 20:28:33 <Rosetta> "He's rushing off on a flaming bat. He's gonna attract attention like that." Rosetta floats along, still sweeping the ground for traps to help the others.
  23. Nov 25 20:29:28 <Genevieve> "He's not exactly the clever one."
  24. Nov 25 20:30:05 <Saryx> With actual noise to break this relative quiet, Saryx does a quick turnabout. "Hey! Don't go running off all your own, Chase!" He scrambles his belongings together and begins pursuit of him, bringing Vegr along as a walking machete.
  25. Nov 25 20:31:15 <Saryx> ... Actually, wait, no, Saryx probably wouldn't be bright enough to think that himself. He instead charges after atop the ironclad juggernaut.
  26. Nov 25 20:33:25 <~zoofman> Alright...if you guys are all heading South, go ahead and roll me Perception.
  27. Nov 25 20:33:41 <Rosetta> 3d6+1
  28. Nov 25 20:33:42 <DiceMaid-9001> Rosetta, 3d6+1: 13 [3d6=2,4,6]
  29. Nov 25 20:34:07 <Saryx> 6d6+1 ... Possibly +2?
  30. Nov 25 20:34:07 <DiceMaid-9001> Saryx, ... Possibly +2?: 20 [6d6=5,1,5,4,1,3]
  31. Nov 25 20:34:12 <Genevieve> 2d6+3
  32. Nov 25 20:34:12 <DiceMaid-9001> Genevieve, 2d6+3: 7 [2d6=2,2]
  33. Nov 25 20:34:30 <Chase> Brahms might have slowed down a little if Chase heard Saryx, but he's still in quite a bit of a hurry. He wants to go after his sister immediately after Cookie.
  34. Nov 25 20:34:32 <Chase> 2d6-2
  35. Nov 25 20:34:33 <DiceMaid-9001> Chase, 2d6-2: 1 [2d6=2,1]
  36. Nov 25 20:34:45 <~zoofman> You guys - ahahahahaha.
  37. Nov 25 20:35:21 <Saryx> You re-roll that shit now, Chase!
  38. Nov 25 20:35:32 <~zoofman> You guys cross the open valley leading to the southern lake without issue. And for most of you - you can't do that, Saryx, he's too far off
  39. Nov 25 20:35:53 <Saryx> S-stupid distance ;_;
  40. Nov 25 20:36:41 <~zoofman> Most of you make your way through the short gathering of trees here without any hassel either. Rosetta's scouting it for traps, along with the helper Unowns guiding you, make it clear there's not any traps at this portion.
  41. Nov 25 20:38:48 <~zoofman> That said, as Brahms flew over it, arriving at the lake - a spout of water flies at him.
  42. Nov 25 20:38:58 <Chase> What bonus would I have gotten?
  43. Nov 25 20:39:00 <Chase> +6?
  44. Nov 25 20:39:21 <~zoofman> 3d8+40 water dmg to Brahms
  45. Nov 25 20:39:22 <DiceMaid-9001> zoofman, water dmg to Brahms: 53 [3d8=1,6,6]
  46. Nov 25 20:39:30 <Chase> 2d6-2+6 Well here's the reroll. :D
  47. Nov 25 20:39:31 <DiceMaid-9001> Chase, Well here's the reroll. :D: 11 [2d6=6,1]
  48. Nov 25 20:39:33 <Rosetta> "Guess there's not much fighting around this area?"
  49. Nov 25 20:39:40 <Saryx> He said can't do that, though :<
  50. Nov 25 20:39:48 <Chase> O-oh
  51. Nov 25 20:40:28 <Chase> Brahms is trashed by the powerful attack, but not down!
  52. Nov 25 20:40:43 <~zoofman> The rest of you see Brahms get hit from the ground level - looks like a high pressured water attack came from the shore.
  53. Nov 25 20:41:19 <Rosetta> "Well, fuck."
  54. Nov 25 20:41:45 <Chase> Chase immediately pulls up. "What the hell? Geez, what was that?? Circle around out of range, look for a safe place to touch down."
  55. Nov 25 20:42:15 <Chase> "Sorry about that, buddy." he apologizes to the crobat as he looks for whatever the hell just attacked them.
  56. Nov 25 20:42:49 <~zoofman> The Crobat ducks down and lands next to the lake, shivering and shaking.
  57. Nov 25 20:43:02 <~zoofman> You guys aren't terribly far off from where Chase lands. The lake itself....
  58. Nov 25 20:43:13 <~zoofman> Well, you're not sure anything actually -lives- in it. It's really, really creepy quiet here.
  59. Nov 25 20:43:55 <Saryx> "Maaan... I don't think he even was paying attention before when I told him to wait up for us, he was that eager to find his sister and the other girls," Saryx muses to himself. He then prods at Jarl to pick up the pace and get his wriggly metal-plated butt over there even faster.
  60. Nov 25 20:44:05 <~zoofman> Roll me Perception again, Chase
  61. Nov 25 20:44:11 »» Chase gets out something to try and pat and dry off his bat without getting set on fire, though right now he's looking around, nervous as hell.
  62. Nov 25 20:44:14 <Chase> 2d6-2
  63. Nov 25 20:44:14 <DiceMaid-9001> Chase, 2d6-2: 3 [2d6=4,1]
  64. Nov 25 20:44:19 <~zoofman> Yeah nigga you can't see shit
  65. Nov 25 20:45:01 <Rosetta> "Saryx do you still have that rifle on you?"
  66. Nov 25 20:45:53 <Saryx> Good question. Did we get it back from Sharkfighter?
  67. Nov 25 20:46:12 <~zoofman> Shark Fighter's standing right next to you, so it's sorta moot who has it.
  68. Nov 25 20:47:10 »» Genevieve lets out the Swarmie as she heads down to where Chase landed. "We -are- in enemy territory by the way, Mister Safety."
  69. Nov 25 20:47:12 <Saryx> Oh, right. "Sharkfighter! Uhhh... Rifle?" He's not sure how to proceed asking for it himself, so he... Makes a gesture of aiming a gun and firing it?
  70. Nov 25 20:47:29 <~zoofman> Shark Fighter hands it over with an affirmative 'VOD.'
  71. Nov 25 20:47:30 »» Chase recalls Brahms for now and lets out Strauss in the meantime. The froggie has since gotten a bit bigger than we saw him last, probably evolved on the boat ride over. May as well fight water with water, whatever attacked him.
  72. Nov 25 20:47:50 <~zoofman> He then walks over to the lake and kneels down to inspect it.
  73. Nov 25 20:48:24 <Chase> Chase -finally- notices the others probably and heads over quickly.
  74. Nov 25 20:48:35 <Saryx> "Thanks! Now let's go! We can't leave Chase isolated like that much longer."
  75. Nov 25 20:48:40 <~zoofman> In front of you, after this big lake, is another short tree line of palm trees and such, and beyond that, you assume is the shore line.
  76. Nov 25 20:48:44 »» Chase is by the lake too at this point!
  77. Nov 25 20:49:28 »» Rosetta takes the gun from Saryx, assuming he hands it over, and then charges it with electricity. "Heya guys, think you can play spotter and lemme know if something's trying to sneak up on us?" She says towards the Unown.
  78. Nov 25 20:49:37 <Chase> "I'm over here." he calls over, heading by the lake shore. "Guess I got a little ahead of myself..."
  79. Nov 25 20:49:57 <Saryx> He'd hand it over, yeah.
  80. Nov 25 20:50:33 <Saryx> Saryx would much rather go full retard as well. It's the way he's most useful, anyways.
  81. Nov 25 20:51:03 <Chase> "-Something- nasty's down south, either way." he mentions as he gets back over to the others.
  82. Nov 25 20:51:14 <~zoofman> The Unowns circle around you, Rosetta. You think they understand the suggestion, but they don't leave quite yet. Roll me intuition.
  83. Nov 25 20:51:22 <Rosetta> 1d6-1
  84. Nov 25 20:51:22 <DiceMaid-9001> Rosetta, 1d6-1: 3 [1d6=4]
  85. Nov 25 20:51:29 <~zoofman> You're not sure what their hold up is.
  86. Nov 25 20:52:30 <Rosetta> "Um...?" Rosetta scratches her head, but then refocuses on keeping the rifle up and ready in case something attacks. "Alright, let's keep moving toward the coast, but let's be careful 'bout it, yeah?"
  87. Nov 25 20:52:44 »» Chase glances over to Shark. "What's he doin'?"
  88. Nov 25 20:53:15 <~zoofman> The Unown pan out after that, placing themselves around the palm tree line.
  89. Nov 25 20:54:45 <~zoofman> Shark Fighter cups his hands, and drinks from the lake, hrm and hawing still.
  90. Nov 25 20:55:29 »» Chase peers in the lake, flipping on aura vision. "What? It's just water, innit? We need to be going..."
  91. Nov 25 20:56:57 <~zoofman> It indeed is just water. "No shark, just vodka." Shark Fighter even says.
  92. Nov 25 20:57:16 <~zoofman> He gets up and follows you guys, heading toward the palm trees.
  93. Nov 25 20:57:40 <Chase> Though as a sort of remark to Gen's chiding him earlier, "But yeah, can't really be complacent around here... Sorry for running off like that. You get -why- I'm in a rush though, right?"
  94. Nov 25 20:57:47 »» Chase heads on, more carefully this time.
  95. Nov 25 20:57:49 »» Rosetta pulls down her darkvision goggles as she floats forward.
  96. Nov 25 20:58:06 <~zoofman> You guys see one of the Unown that Rosetta had go ahead start to poke back out and wiggle around, making a faint hidden power light up in your direction.
  97. Nov 25 20:58:40 »» Genevieve considers the lake a moment, then turns back towards the trees. "Why is irrelevant. You scold people for jumping the gun all the time. A few more minutes won't make any difference here."
  98. Nov 25 21:00:01 »» Rosetta makes a shhh gesture and floats toward that Unown, sweeping over that area with the rifle.
  99. Nov 25 21:00:12 <Chase> "Are you fucking joking? My sister is here, and she's run off probably into the heart of hostile territory. The why is certainly goddamn relevant and a few minutes could mean -life or death-."
  100. Nov 25 21:01:44 <~zoofman> Through your darkvision, Rosetta...you can see a figure lurking through the underbrush, in your direction.
  101. Nov 25 21:02:19 <Saryx> "I don't think Alicia'd be all too happy if she were to find out her little brother got himself killed running off trying to save her, though... We can move at your pace, but make sure you got us ready to move with you before taking off, okay, Chase?"
  102. Nov 25 21:02:40 »» Chase scratches his head, frowning. "Yeah. Sorry, Saryx."
  103. Nov 25 21:02:51 <Rosetta> "Hey, who's there?" Rosetta floats back a bit but keeps her gun trained in that direction.
  104. Nov 25 21:03:20 <~zoofman> The figure freezes, and doesn't move.
  105. Nov 25 21:03:30 <~zoofman> Or, rather, doesn't speak or make a sound.
  106. Nov 25 21:03:44 <Chase> Chase looks over once Rosetta calls out, concentrating with aura vision. What can he make out?
  107. Nov 25 21:04:23 <Rosetta> "...You Cookie? We're here looking for you and the other survivors."
  108. Nov 25 21:06:06 <~zoofman> The figure starts to rush out of the underbrush, toward you. Chase can see a green, crude outline of a person...short, scrappy...
  109. Nov 25 21:06:19 <Chase> "I don't think that's human, Rose!"
  110. Nov 25 21:07:18 »» Rosetta floats back slowly, steadies her aim, and gets ready to fire if it lunges at her.
  111. Nov 25 21:07:36 »» Chase grabs his guitar and plans to blast it backwards with Hyper Voice if it rushes too close!
  112. Nov 25 21:08:11 <~zoofman> Out comes a young woman, carrying a large net full of Water Pokemon - remoraids and magikarp and such. She's dressed much like Cyclops was - scraps at best. She points at Chase. "BITCH WHAT ARE YOU TELLIN' THE CHICK WITH THE GUN THAT FOR!?"
  113. Nov 25 21:08:31 <Chase> "...Oh."
  114. Nov 25 21:09:18 »» Rosetta lowers the rifle and sighs. "Geez, holy shit, I almost shot her you know."
  115. Nov 25 21:09:19 »» Chase relaxes a hair, scowling. "Well why didn't you say something, goddamn?"
  116. Nov 25 21:09:21 <Saryx> The 'introduction' earns the girl an awkward stare from Saryx as he leans away from her slightly.
  117. Nov 25 21:09:33 <Chase> "So, you must be Cookie, huh..."
  118. Nov 25 21:09:42 <~zoofman> "WHY YOU STANDIN' AROUND ANYWAY!? SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIT SHIIIIIIIIIIT RUN FOR YOUR DAMN LIVES!!!" She darts past you, running toward the monastery fast as she can. And, to be fair, she is pretty damn nimble.
  119. Nov 25 21:10:03 <Chase> "...there's a horde of mermaids chasing her, isn't there."
  120. Nov 25 21:10:18 <Rosetta> "Run from what?" Rosetta slings the gun over her shoulder and follows, doing her best to keep pace.
  121. Nov 25 21:10:19 »» Genevieve hops on Fabre and just follows after Cookie. Ain't even mad.
  122. Nov 25 21:10:39 »» Chase recalls Strauss, brings out Brahms and SHIT LET'S GO OUTTA HERE NIGGA
  123. Nov 25 21:12:12 »» Rosetta sends out Glissani as she sees the others take to the skies. "Saryx you wanna lift?" She looks over to Shark Fighter as well to see if he has a ride.
  124. Nov 25 21:12:21 <~zoofman> You get your answer to that, Rosetta, as through your darkvision, you start to see creatures slithering through the forest that have the upper body of a human. Most of them appear to be carrying weapons...
  125. Nov 25 21:12:53 <Chase> "Fuckthisplaaaaace"
  126. Nov 25 21:12:56 <~zoofman> Shark Fighter whistles and A, B, E, R, S, and U return to his side, and he books it as well.
  127. Nov 25 21:13:55 <Saryx> "There's gotta be something chasing after her if she's panicked like that!" He looks to Rosetta. "Jarl's plenty fast, I think. And someone should be ground support for her. Jarl, you're up here! Make chasing us as awful as possible for whatever might be following us!" ... This is before he turns his head back to get a look at whatever's causing the rustling.
  128. Nov 25 21:14:49 <~zoofman> Rosetta can only see it cause she's wearing night vision goggles, you can't see anything.
  129. Nov 25 21:14:54 <Saryx> ... Not like he's gonna get one right this second since they're still only visible to Rosetta's darkvision?
  130. Nov 25 21:15:02 <~zoofman> Short of it is, though, Cookie's not gonna stop running till she's back at the Monastery :P
  131. Nov 25 21:15:09 <Rosetta> "Well, two can play at the traps game." Rosetta hops on Glissani and nudges her. As the Skarmory takes off, she shakes her wings and spreads sharp metal feathers all over the land behind. Spikes!
  132. Nov 25 21:16:16 <Saryx> "Exactly what I was thinking, Razor! Come on, Jarl!" And as they begin the retreat, Jarl spews out a mess of Toxic Spikes behind him.
  133. Nov 25 21:16:30 <~zoofman> Glissani's featherspikes cover the ground as she takes off! It's not until you make some good distance away from there that you hear screams of pain from whoever slithered onto them.
  134. Nov 25 21:16:41 <~zoofman> Jarl, likewise, leaves some metallic chitin spikes.
  135. Nov 25 21:18:04 <~zoofman> You guys easily outpace Cookie on mounts, but she shows no interest in stopping until she's back at the monastery with a big stone door slammed behind her.
  136. Nov 25 21:18:23 <~zoofman> She's gasping for air and coughing as your mounts touch down. Shark Fighter just ran along side her, ain't even winded.
  137. Nov 25 21:18:40 »» Chase takes the opportunity, once they're back, to spray Brahms down with a few potions. Poor guy.
  138. Nov 25 21:18:51 <Chase> Pretty much as soon as he hops off.
  139. Nov 25 21:19:10 <Rosetta> "Well, that was exciting."
  140. Nov 25 21:19:12 <~zoofman> Arnaldo starts to meander over from the pyramid, curious what the hell is going on. But he's got a bit till he arrives. Cookie looks up at you guys. "...Bout fucking TIME you assholes got here!"
  141. Nov 25 21:20:05 <Chase> "Hey, most of us got here like two hours ago and the one guy who could understand your SOS speaks russian."
  142. Nov 25 21:20:13 <Rosetta> "Hey, if you're lookin' for the guys who've been sitting on the boat offshore for the past few weeks, that actually isn't us here. Well, 'cept for him." Rosetta nods at Shark Fighter.
  143. Nov 25 21:20:55 <Chase> *several hours ago, not 2
  144. Nov 25 21:21:47 <~zoofman> "FIGHT SHARKS." Says Shark Fighter. Cookie squints at him. "So whose that asshole?" she points at Arnaldo.
  145. Nov 25 21:22:02 <Chase> "The captain of the ships you were trying to hail down."
  146. Nov 25 21:22:53 <~zoofman> Cookie marches over to Arnaldo. Arnaldo tilts his head and starts to introduce himself, sarcastically, as Cookie kicks him right in the crotch.
  147. Nov 25 21:23:02 <Chase> "Damn."
  148. Nov 25 21:23:25 <~zoofman> Arnaldo buckles and falls over in pain, and Shark Fighter just laughs.
  149. Nov 25 21:23:36 <Chase> "Anyway, nevermind about that. We'll get you all to safety when we can, but here's the thing."
  150. Nov 25 21:24:29 <~zoofman> Cookie then plops her ass back on the grass as well. Several Unown come over to greet her. Unlike Cyclops...she doesn't seem very surprised to see people, more just exhausted, scared even.
  151. Nov 25 21:24:41 <Saryx> Saryx cringes. "Maaan, that was brutal! I think I'm gonna start hurting if I look at him balled up on the floor too long."
  152. Nov 25 21:26:54 <Chase> Where does he even start. "I'm Chase Violet, Alicia's brother. Sunshine is here, too, with Selene. Look, Selene said Alicia went off to find something to treat her wound - do you have any idea -where-? Don't tell me she marched off by herself to one of their villages..."
  153. Nov 25 21:27:49 <~zoofman> "Of course she fuckin' did! She had to get one of those stupid apples they have or whatever."
  154. Nov 25 21:28:07 <~zoofman> "Wait. -You're- her brother? Waaaaah. You seem too goodie two shoe for that."
  155. Nov 25 21:28:55 <Chase> "I got my moments." he mutters. "She been tellin' y'all stories?"
  156. Nov 25 21:29:17 <Rosetta> "Apples?"
  157. Nov 25 21:29:56 <Genevieve> "Yeah, apples? Not, like, durians or mangos or something?"
  158. Nov 25 21:30:11 <~zoofman> "They got these...okay. So. Look." Arnaldo finally recovers, muttering, "Knew I shoulda worn a cup."
  159. Nov 25 21:30:56 <~zoofman> "I sorta knew SOMEONE would come over eventually. Was clear yall knew what the island was doin' and weren't gonna get stuck on it. And if you already spoke to Cyclops...and you -did- mention mermaids huh?"
  160. Nov 25 21:31:03 <~zoofman> Arnaldo squints. "What mermaids."
  161. Nov 25 21:31:34 »» Chase shakes his head. "The Sirens, I think."
  162. Nov 25 21:32:38 <~zoofman> Cookie just continues on. "The Dryads and Elves. Dunno why they fuckin' hate us, but they do. And they use all sorts of nasty poisons. Alicia...she had the wise idea to see if they had an anti venom or somethin' stashed away. We thought it was dumb, given what they are, but..."
  163. Nov 25 21:32:47 <Chase> "The story hasn't gotten passed around very well considering all the fuck that's goin' on."
  164. Nov 25 21:33:22 <~zoofman> "She snuck up by their village and noticed they had this tree that grows these golden apples. They guard it and stuff, and they bring their sick there to eat one. And bam, cured. She pinched a few and we figured that cures most things."
  165. Nov 25 21:33:50 <Chase> "Yeah, that figures." he sighs, but it's more of a 'that sure sounds like Alicia' sigh. "So, what, this is routine? She's not in any danger, here?"
  166. Nov 25 21:34:14 <~zoofman> "So...yeah, they snuck out to snag one for Cyclops. Normally they probably wouldn't be...but...maaaaan, nasty shit's about to go down here..."
  167. Nov 25 21:34:24 <Chase> He looks to the west. "Yeah, I heard the drums."
  168. Nov 25 21:34:53 <Rosetta> "You know exactly which way they'd take?"
  169. Nov 25 21:35:09 <Genevieve> "The good news is we can evacuate you pretty easily."
  170. Nov 25 21:35:19 <Chase> "And the other girl, Robin, is out that way too, right? Shit."
  171. Nov 25 21:35:24 <~zoofman> "...Welll...yeah I do. Robin's showed me how to get there before."
  172. Nov 25 21:37:54 <~zoofman> "You guys...aren't actually thinkin' of goin' in there when they on the warpath, right?"
  173. Nov 25 21:38:10 <Chase> "Even my sis probably can't handle all of that shit."

  175. Nov 25 21:39:25 <Chase> "I've spent five years wondering... just what happened to her. I had even started to accept that she really just did die. But... nah, fuck it, this ain't a time for speeches. Yes, I'm going in and I am getting my goddamn sister to safety."
  176. Nov 25 21:39:51 »» Chase prepares to climb on Brahms again.
  177. Nov 25 21:40:41 <Rosetta> "Look, we've spent the last few weeks fighting video game characters brought into reality and mechanized legendary Pokemon. It's actually kinda nice to deal with something as straightforward as an angry tribe."
  178. Nov 25 21:41:13 »» Shawyun_Sariri is now known as zoofarrator
  179. Nov 25 21:41:23 »» Rosetta lets out ZODIAC and has him 'load' the gun with a shot of Ice. (how many does this hold at once anyway?)
  180. Nov 25 21:41:32 <zoofarrator> Cookie starts to wimper, because she's a babyback bitch and this is terrifying to her.
  181. Nov 25 21:41:51 <Rosetta> (And does it still use my stats or ZODIAC's when I shoot it?)
  182. Nov 25 21:42:00 <zoofarrator> (whatever charged it)
  183. Nov 25 21:42:57 »» Chase looks at Cookie. "Not coming, huh. Which way, then?"
  184. Nov 25 21:43:31 <Genevieve> "It's a shame, they would have been good to study. I suppose the mountain tribe would be easier if Junior makes it back..."
  185. Nov 25 21:43:48 <Chase> "I don't really plan on taking on an entire tribe if we can help it."
  186. Nov 25 21:44:02 <Chase> "We need to find Alicia and Robin and get them out of there."
  187. Nov 25 21:44:16 <zoofarrator> "I'll come. I'll show you. Just...fuck you don't understand how strong those things are."
  188. Nov 25 21:44:49 <Rosetta> "Better let me handle the sneaking when we get there then, try to avoid a fight and all that. It'll be shiny."
  189. Nov 25 21:45:21 <Chase> He just shakes his head at Cookie. "You're right, I don't. But fuck it, I'm not giving up this easily."
  190. Nov 25 21:45:22 <zoofarrator> "We've seen you guys out there for a couple weeks," she glares at Arnaldo. "So...we knew someone was comin' eventually. Just...fuck this timing." Cookie slowly gets up.
  191. Nov 25 21:46:20 <zoofarrator> Arnaldo has a question for Cookie before you guys head out. "What is this about merfolk? What's going on here with the drums and all?"
  192. Nov 25 21:47:37 »» Chase waits and listens, too
  193. Nov 25 21:47:43 <zoofarrator> "Well. It's...not me they were after. I was just in the way. Every...month or so, maybe? No idea how long it's been since we got stuck here, they come up and attack Dryads and Elves."
  194. Nov 25 21:48:24 <zoofarrator> "The Orcs n shit in the mountains? They don't even come down on this side, let alone bug us. But if it weren't for this monastery and these little guys," She grabs the B Unown and hugs it. "We'd of died a looong time ago."
  195. Nov 25 21:49:21 <Rosetta> "Grass versus water...seems like it ought to be pretty one-sided."
  196. Nov 25 21:49:49 <Chase> "A lot of water pokemon can use ice, I bet it isn't too far off for them either."
  197. Nov 25 21:49:54 <zoofarrator> "Right stupid of these fishfolk," Arnaldo nods and looks to you guys. "So what's your plan here? Grab the apple and the other ladies and fly on out? Or you heading back here first?"
  198. Nov 25 21:50:37 <Rosetta> "Lemme see that map again, see what's easier." Rosetta holds out her hand for the map and looks around to see who has it.
  199. Nov 25 21:50:53 <zoofarrator> One of you four do, at least.
  200. Nov 25 21:50:56 <Chase> "I know they're probably itching to leave this place..." he says, thinking about that. "I guess we'll come back here first and then decide what's what after."
  201. Nov 25 21:50:57 <zoofarrator> Arnaldo gave it to you guys.
  202. Nov 25 21:51:07 <Chase> Chase tosses the map to Rose.
  203. Nov 25 21:51:57 <zoofarrator> Cookie stares at Shark Fighter and Rosetta. "You two scared the fuck out of me, you know?"
  204. Nov 25 21:52:13 <Chase> "'cause they're rune masters?"
  205. Nov 25 21:52:16 <zoofarrator> "Look like those other letter folk who showed up here while ago. Thought I was dead for sure."
  206. Nov 25 21:52:26 <Chase> "Shit, you saw the Sons of Grant, then."
  207. Nov 25 21:52:33 <Chase> "Do you know what they did, here?"
  208. Nov 25 21:53:16 <zoofarrator> "They jumped in the middle of one of the battles and started tossin' these Apricorn Balls at the injured fighters. We were, uh, watchin'. Through one of these guys." She poins at B.
  209. Nov 25 21:53:21 <Rosetta> "Sorry." Rosetta hops to face Cookie and gives an apologetic grin.
  210. Nov 25 21:53:35 <Genevieve> "So they were already here, huh?"
  211. Nov 25 21:53:53 <Chase> "Goddammit. I knew they had those but I didn't figure they'd gotten all they wanted."
  212. Nov 25 21:54:21 <zoofarrator> "Alicia and Robin were the only ones of us with actual Pokemon left here. I just try to borrow one of these guys when I need to...the merfolk sorta shot the one I took with me tonight."
  213. Nov 25 21:54:24 »» Genevieve hums. "Once we get the other girls, you should evacuate them." She turns to Arnaldo. "I mean like, all the way. At least one of them needs serious medical attention, so get them on a boat and head for port."
  214. Nov 25 21:54:31 <Chase> "Those apricorn balls are made by one of the wildling tribes, they can pretty much mindcontrol those tribals."
  215. Nov 25 21:55:11 <Genevieve> "The four of us should stay here to investigate the temple at the very least."
  216. Nov 25 21:55:20 <zoofarrator> Arnaldo: "I more meant if me, Schmee and Tilde should take the mystic chick up there to the ship while you guys are out there. If you'd just fly on out to us."
  217. Nov 25 21:55:34 <Saryx> "They might not have gotten all they wanted just yet. ... Was it just a one time thing you saw them, or do they keep coming around, the Sons? Would be good to know if we should be expecting them around, too..."
  218. Nov 25 21:55:41 <zoofarrator> "Cause last thing I need is to find my crew's been murdered by angry merfolk as well by the time we got out there."
  219. Nov 25 21:55:51 <Rosetta> "Flying directly out sounds shiny. Think you could swing the boats closer to where these villages are though?"
  220. Nov 25 21:55:59 »» Chase looks back up at the pyramid. "I'm kinda curious in this place, but... yeah, prolly ain't worth the risk."
  221. Nov 25 21:56:12 <Rosetta> "We can head back in after getting the girls evaced."
  222. Nov 25 21:56:28 <zoofarrator> Arnaldo shrugs. "We know how it works. You could come back any time. And sure we'll sortie closer and have artillery ready if needed."
  223. Nov 25 21:56:28 <Rosetta> "But we don't know what kinda condition they'll be in, yeah?"
  224. Nov 25 21:56:35 »» Chase nods at captain bastard. "No objections then, cap'n."
  225. Nov 25 21:56:42 <Saryx> "I'd wanna check this place out, too. I'm, like, almost certain this shrine is the one we're looking for."
  226. Nov 25 21:56:45 <Chase> "We'll head back to your ship when we can."
  227. Nov 25 21:56:52 <Chase> "Which one?" he asks Saryx.
  228. Nov 25 21:57:12 <Saryx> ... Wait, there's more than one here?
  229. Nov 25 21:57:28 <Chase> No, he meant 'which shrine have they been looking for'
  230. Nov 25 21:57:42 <Rosetta> "...Hey Gen, can you ask Sharkfighter if he knows how to set up one of those portal things with the Unown leading back here?"
  231. Nov 25 21:58:25 <Saryx> "The one connected to Shiva, Chase. Didn't you notice all the emeralds and topaz around it?"
  232. Nov 25 21:58:37 <Chase> He looks around.
  233. Nov 25 21:58:55 <zoofarrator> At the base of the pyramid is a cluster of emerald and topaz gemstones, big thing, can't miss it.
  234. Nov 25 21:59:01 <Chase> "Oh yeah, that thing."
  235. Nov 25 21:59:01 <zoofarrator> Unless you got shit for perception, I guess.
  236. Nov 25 21:59:21 <Chase> "Uhh, it's 2 am and I'm kind of focused on other things?" he offers as an excuse.
  237. Nov 25 21:59:31 <Chase> "We can definitely come back either way."
  238. Nov 25 21:59:59 <Saryx> "... Right. Sorry, you were probably thinking about Alicia running through here opposed to the stones."
  239. Nov 25 22:00:06 <Chase> "I'll put it on the checklist of shit we really need to check out."
  240. Nov 25 22:00:16 <zoofarrator> Arnaldo turns to leave, but first, to Cookie. "Nice kick by the way. If you need a job after this, call The Bastards."
  241. Nov 25 22:01:00 <Saryx> "We can bring Shiva over here on a return visit if I'm right." And a staaare at Arnaldo.
  242. Nov 25 22:01:09 <zoofarrator> He starts back up the pyramid steps. Cookie asks you guys. "Who is that asshole anyway?"
  243. Nov 25 22:01:12 <Genevieve> "Are we ready, then?"
  244. Nov 25 22:02:34 <Chase> "Captain Arnaldo of the Veilbeak Bastards. Conscripted crew." he answers her.
  245. Nov 25 22:03:19 <Chase> "Anyway, yeah... you ready?"
  246. Nov 25 22:04:24 <Rosetta> "Hey Gen." Rosetta repeats and waves at her. "Can you ask Shark Fighter if he knows how to set up an Unown portal back to the ruins here?"
  247. Nov 25 22:04:59 »» Genevieve grimaces. "I can try. There's gonna be a lot of bad translation in that."
  248. Nov 25 22:05:30 <Rosetta> "What's the worst that happens? We get portaled to Russia or something?"
  249. Nov 25 22:06:20 <Saryx> "I think I got through to him well enough last time with the gun. Maybe let me try asking? ... But yeah, I'm ready to go!"
  250. Nov 25 22:06:30 <Genevieve> She takes a moment to think. "{Can you set up a portal back here?}"
  251. Nov 25 22:07:43 <zoofarrator> Shark Fighter starts to say something, pauses, thinks on it, looks around.... "{Possibly. Much like home. First time see Unown in islands. Will stay with Captain to do so.}"
  252. Nov 25 22:08:44 <Chase> As he gets ready to head out, Chase mutters to himself, "Tch, goody twoshoes, huh... Am I really..." he trails off into something unintelligible.
  253. Nov 25 22:09:22 »» Rosetta waves for ZODIAC to stay close as she gets ready to set out.
  254. Nov 25 22:09:50 <zoofarrator> He then immediately sets to work, by taking out a flask of vodka, gulping some down. He coughs, and bleches out a Thunderbolt for practice, and then heads to the Unown to stat to cobble together a GATE.
  255. Nov 25 22:10:06 »» Chase stares at the vodka magic.
  256. Nov 25 22:10:16 <Rosetta> "What."
  257. Nov 25 22:10:21 <Rosetta> "You know, nevermind. Let's go."
  258. Nov 25 22:10:33 <Chase> "...yeah, might as well."
  259. Nov 25 22:10:44 <Genevieve> "He'll work on it."
  260. Nov 25 22:10:45 <zoofarrator> Oh, he also cobbles together BEARS, shapes them into a pair of clawed gloves, and hands them to Cookie. "VODKA MAGIC." And then he's off to work.
  261. Nov 25 22:10:50 »» Aori_Radidjiu is now known as Aori_Radisleep
  262. Nov 25 22:11:08 »» Chase doesn't even what the fuck why can't Rose do that
  263. Nov 25 22:11:11 <Saryx> ". . ." Saryx stares, wide-eyed at the Thunderbolt belching. "That. Was. Incredible!"
  264. Nov 25 22:11:39 <zoofarrator> Cookie stares at the BEAR HANDS, and shakes her head, "Fuckin' weird ass Russian shit," she heads outside and gets ready to lead you guys into very hostile territory.
  265. Nov 25 22:11:51 »» Chase heads on out then, following along.
  266. Nov 25 22:12:14 »» Saryx turns his head towards the rest of the group. ". . . You think he could teach me how to do that?!?" Fuck Ice Elementalism. Vodka Magic is where this shit's at, yo!
  267. Nov 25 22:12:33 <zoofarrator> Saryx doesn't have the kidneys for it.
  268. Nov 25 22:12:37 <zoofarrator> Let's get real here.
  269. Nov 25 22:13:25 <Saryx> Until he ends up in a dumpster, he's not inclined to think otherwise.
  270. Nov 25 22:13:26 <Rosetta> "Saryx, we don't need you getting drunk and making more girls cry ."
  271. Nov 25 22:14:35 <zoofarrator> Cookie might be loud mouthed, but she can be very sneaky and quiet when the need for it comes. She moves into the forest without a sound, moving slow and cautiously.
  272. Nov 25 22:14:43 <zoofarrator> Roll me Stealth and Perception, you four.
  273. Nov 25 22:15:05 <Rosetta> 6d6+5+4+2 stealth; 3d6+1 percep

  277. Nov 25 22:15:31 <Saryx> "Hey! My getting drunk hasn't been completely useless!" He starts up before they get too far out. "And it was only Shiva!"
  278. Nov 25 22:15:42 <Saryx> ... As if that makes it any better.
  279. Nov 25 22:16:13 <Saryx> 6d6+1 Perception; 1d6+2+2 Stealth Spending an AP

  288. Nov 25 22:18:01 »» Chase sort of just gives Saryx a disappointed look as they continue on, but doesn't say nothin
  289. Nov 25 22:18:22 <Genevieve> I don't think it really matters.
  290. Nov 25 22:20:36 <zoofarrator> You guys make slow progress, Cookie doesn't move very fast here. At one point, one of you steps on a twig and makes a snapping sound. She panics and ducks down.
  291. Nov 25 22:20:51 <zoofarrator> You hear the sound of drums a lot louder here, and shuffling in your direction.
  292. Nov 25 22:21:01 »» Chase watches her and follows suit, recalling Brahms and holding his breath.
  293. Nov 25 22:22:32 »» Rosetta adjusts her goggles and continues floating on, glancing around for any signs of movement.
  294. Nov 25 22:23:26 <zoofarrator> It doesn't take night vision to see a bipedal figure moving toward you, slinking in the darkness. There's a lot of them moving out there, but you only got the attention of one of them.
  295. Nov 25 22:24:50 »» Rosetta slings the rifle on her back and pulls out her tranquilizer gun. She takes careful aim and waits hidden to see what it does, hoping it'll go back to what it was doing and not discover them.
  296. Nov 25 22:25:43 <zoofarrator> Orange and red eyes peer in your direction - they glow in the darkness, clearly photoluminescence. Rosetta can make out its figure better than the rest of you can. Most of you just see a slender figure in the shadows, she sees http://i.imgur.com/eu3tQj1.png
  297. Nov 25 22:26:48 »» Chase dares not even breath, trying not to move a muscle from his spot in the brush.
  298. Nov 25 22:26:53 <Rosetta> How close are the other figures to the one moving to us? Does it seem like they're focusing attention on it at all? And does it appear like he's looking at us directly or just toward our direction due to the sound?
  299. Nov 25 22:26:57 <zoofarrator> It moves closer as something yells at it - from the rest of its group. It snarls in your direction and turns back, not seeing anything after a quick scan.
  300. Nov 25 22:27:35 »» Rosetta waits a few moments, then lowers her tranq gun and motions for everyone that it's clear.
  301. Nov 25 22:28:18 <zoofarrator> Rosetta, given your Perception roll you can see what looks like a warparty - figures like this one, with a variety of traits - Carnivine, Venosaur, Flygon, Nidoking, Sceptile, incuding more. Almost all male. The one that snapped at this one? A hunched over Sandslash figure.
  302. Nov 25 22:28:30 »» Chase waits a few extra moments to make sure, mostly following Cookie's lead here.
  303. Nov 25 22:28:46 <zoofarrator> They aren't moving in your direction, more that your paths were parallel.
  304. Nov 25 22:31:37 <zoofarrator> Eventually, the group passes you, and all that's left is the sound of the war drums - which seem to be in the path you're heading.
  305. Nov 25 22:32:20 <Chase> "Shit." he says softly. "That was close. Five years of this shit, huh..."
  306. Nov 25 22:33:12 <zoofarrator> Cookie whimpers, and continues foreward. "just a bit more..." she tells herself.
  307. Nov 25 22:33:29 <Chase> "Thanks." he says to Cookie and pushes forward, himself.
  308. Nov 25 22:33:33 <Saryx> "Yeah, that... That could've gone a whole lot worse for us..." Saryx looses a sigh of relief.
  309. Nov 25 22:34:35 <zoofarrator> Not long after that...maybe around 3:30 AM, you each the perimeter of The Forest Tribe's Village.
  310. Nov 25 22:35:12 <Rosetta> "We got a lot of grass and ground types there. Flygon, Venusaur, Sandslash...more varied than I thought they'd be." Rosetta whispers as she continues, holding the tranq gun close.
  311. Nov 25 22:35:58 <zoofarrator> You can see several adobes burrowed into the trunks of extremely large trees, and also homes suspended in the canopy itself. Rather than a campfire, there's a large, glowing night flower at the center of the village.
  312. Nov 25 22:36:46 <zoofarrator> There's a lot of these creatures here, mostly women, children, and the elderly. Various 'root' species, if you would, though the ones that draw your attention your most would be the dancers, dancing around the glowing flower.
  313. Nov 25 22:37:26 <Chase> "Sheez." he says in response to Rosetta, and also a bit in response to this.
  314. Nov 25 22:38:03 <zoofarrator> Bellossoms, Vileplumes, Lilligants, Leavanny, they look...very much like you'd expect, basically. Aside from them, the most prominant figure is the man at the center of all of this, right in front of the drummers.
  315. Nov 25 22:38:43 <zoofarrator> He appears to be an elderly man, with long white hair, a lengthy, pointed nose, and made entirely of wood. http://imgur.com/68zcACh
  316. Nov 25 22:39:44 <zoofarrator> Cookie pauses for a moment, watching herself. "It ain't in there, thankfully. They'd butcher us on sight..." she starts to slink around when you guys are ready.
  317. Nov 25 22:40:29 »» Rosetta nods and follows her, darting from shadow to shadow.
  318. Nov 25 22:41:13 <zoofarrator> She slinks around to the rear of the village, some distance off, closer to the beach than deeper into the woods. Here, you wander upon what is almost a comical sight.
  319. Nov 25 22:41:20 »» Chase does so as well, stopping only a second because he kind of mistook that dude for a human - but come to think of it he's more like a shiftry, huh?
  320. Nov 25 22:41:59 <zoofarrator> Yes, Shiftry.
  321. Nov 25 22:44:26 <zoofarrator> Anyway, what you see is...on the edge of the village, a tree that grows golden apples! They glisten in the moon light. You also see a Blaziken and a Chattot hovering around two unconcious figures: Two 'young men', one with green skin and natural armorments, the other more like a Satyr with rather interesting horns. http://imgur.com/KQNMqho,hMub2MG#0
  322. Nov 25 22:45:46 <zoofarrator> And, two woman. Both wearing clothing as tattered as the others. They got their backs toward you, and one is lifting the other up on her back. The one on the bottom is darker skinned, and the one reaching up at the apples is ginger as sin.
  323. Nov 25 22:46:46 »» Rosetta begins to reach out with telekinesis to help them, but then stops before sending more than a tiny ripple that direction, not wanting to startle them. Instead, she glances around to see if any guards are approaching their position.
  324. Nov 25 22:47:18 »» Chase 's heart skips a beat for a moment
  325. Nov 25 22:47:20 <zoofarrator> The ginger hnnnngh's and stretches, but can't quite reach the apple. "Lift me a bit more, Captain!" Alicia: "We just barely knocked those two out and I'm exhausted I can't lift you anymore so just man up and grab a fucking apple already!"
  326. Nov 25 22:47:52 <zoofarrator> Well, Rosetta, when you look around, you don't see more guards coming at the moment, but you do see an unusual statue.
  327. Nov 25 22:47:53 <Saryx> "Hey, Chase..." Saryx puts a hand on his shoulder to get his attention to direct it towards the girl. ... The hand there in the likely event he goes full retard so he has a fighting chance of holding him back long enough.
  328. Nov 25 22:48:18 »» Rosetta does reach out with telekinesis again and gently tugs down the nearest apple to the ginger reaching up into the tree.
  329. Nov 25 22:48:29 <zoofarrator> Sitting on a cut tree trunk, behind this apple tree, sits a huge wood and stone statue of the following: http://i.imgur.com/qu95wsf.jpg
  330. Nov 25 22:48:53 <zoofarrator> Complete with red and blue coloring.
  331. Nov 25 22:49:36 »» Genevieve turns to look at what Rose found. Shto eta?
  332. Nov 25 22:49:37 »» Chase at this point, glances around to make sure nothing's coming, and then just stands out of the brush to approach the tree. "...Alicia...?"
  333. Nov 25 22:49:50 <Genevieve> 6d6+3 Occult
  334. Nov 25 22:49:51 <DiceMaid-9001> Genevieve, Occult: 22 [6d6=1,1,4,5,6,2]
  335. Nov 25 22:50:04 <zoofarrator> You don't have a fucking clue what that is, Genevieve.
  336. Nov 25 22:50:32 <zoofarrator> It's certainly no Pokemon you have ever seen, or heard of.
  337. Nov 25 22:51:12 »» Genevieve approaches it to get a good look, not wanting to take any flash photography at the moment.
  338. Nov 25 22:51:43 <zoofarrator> Alicia freaks the fuck out at the sudden voice, and stifles a scream as she jumps backwards, falling over, dropping the ginger girl as well!
  339. Nov 25 22:51:45 <Chase> He gently takes Saryx's hand off his shoulder, mind. He understands Saryx's worries, but this is... well.
  340. Nov 25 22:51:58 <zoofarrator> The Blaziken and the Chattot turn toward Chase, with death in their eyes - but pause when they see he's a human.
  341. Nov 25 22:52:16 <Chase> He bites his lip, looking back towards the village a moment. Did Rosetta manage to get an apple down for them?
  342. Nov 25 22:53:54 <zoofarrator> She did, yes, The red head's holding an apple!
  343. Nov 25 22:54:24 <zoofarrator> Though they both look startled as shit as they start scrambling to their feet and reaching for weapons - a spear for Alicia, a bow for who you presume is Robin.
  344. Nov 25 22:54:27 »» Rosetta groans quietly at seeing the pair fall and takes another glance around for approaching guards, tranq gun at the ready.
  345. Nov 25 22:54:44 <zoofarrator> Roll me Perception, Rosetta
  346. Nov 25 22:54:49 <Rosetta> 3d6+1
  347. Nov 25 22:54:49 <DiceMaid-9001> Rosetta, 3d6+1: 16 [3d6=6,6,3]
  348. Nov 25 22:55:13 <Chase> But... man, it's really kind of fucking hard to control himself. He keeps his voice low, but he goes over to them! As least threatening as possible considering the look the birds are giving him, but fuck it, he doesn't care if he gets a few lumps. "Alicia. Sis. Chill! It's me, Chase." he's... almost breathless, a bit of an amazed expression on his face as he takes off his hat so
  349. Nov 25 22:55:14 <Chase> the moon can catch his face better.
  350. Nov 25 22:55:57 <zoofarrator> You see someone coming, yes. Brown skin, puffy white hair - like cotton - and green ram horns! It's a girl, you think, hopping along on saytrish legs with two wooden cups, toward the tree.
  351. Nov 25 22:57:35 <Rosetta> "We've got to go." Rosetta hisses, floating Glissani's pokeball up in the air next to her. "Let's get our rides out and head out to the boats now."
  352. Nov 25 22:57:47 »» Rosetta then takes careful aim at the approaching girl and fires a tranquilizer dark.
  353. Nov 25 22:58:01 <Rosetta> 1d20 does this use normal accuracy rolls?
  354. Nov 25 22:58:01 <DiceMaid-9001> Rosetta, does this use normal accuracy rolls?: 6 [1d20=6]
  355. Nov 25 22:58:15 <zoofarrator> Alicia's expression changes a lot in a few seconds. From fear and anger to...confusion...relief...and more confusion. "uhm wah-" She sees Cookie as well, but doesn't seem to trust what's going on as reality.
  356. Nov 25 22:58:22 <Rosetta> 1d20 I'll reroll if that would miss
  357. Nov 25 22:58:22 <DiceMaid-9001> Rosetta, I'll reroll if that would miss: 4 [1d20=4]
  358. Nov 25 22:58:28 <zoofarrator> The first one hit.
  359. Nov 25 22:58:42 <zoofarrator> The dart hits her, and you hear a faint 'baaa' as the Whimsicott girl falls over asleep.
  360. Nov 25 22:58:56 <zoofarrator> It was almost like pushing goats over.
  361. Nov 25 22:59:17 »» Genevieve hops up on Swarmie. "We leaving, then?"
  362. Nov 25 22:59:23 »» Chase looks over at the 'baa'. "Shit, yeah, let's get the fuck out of here."
  363. Nov 25 23:00:11 <Rosetta> "C'mon." Rosetta pops open Glissani's ball and hops on. "Glissani here can probably double up on riders with ZODIAC's help." She motions to the spot behind her for someone else to sit.
  364. Nov 25 23:00:28 »» Chase looks over at his sis, grinning. "We're getting you -and- your friends the hell out of here and back home... god, Alicia, I didn't think you were alive..." He's starting to choke up but he fights back the tears. "Arright, we can be emotional and explain what the hell's going on later."
  365. Nov 25 23:01:31 <Saryx> "... Yeah, this would be a real good time to get up and go now," he whisperyells back as he sees the sheepgirl go fwump on the floor. Though he's kind of distracted by the impending mushiness in front of him as he says that.
  366. Nov 25 23:01:47 »» Chase lets Brahms back out and - oh god how are they getting these two out.
  367. Nov 25 23:01:56 <Chase> "Rose, I really hope you have enough birds."
  368. Nov 25 23:01:59 »» Genevieve floats on Fabre over to the Whimsicott girl and reaches doesn to take her goblet.
  369. Nov 25 23:03:16 <Rosetta> "As I said, Glissani can seat two with the help of telekinesis." Rosetta pops out another pokeball with her Fearow in it. "Cadenza'll take another I 'spose."
  370. Nov 25 23:03:23 <zoofarrator> Robin and Alicia just seem completely shocked and confused - and with all the stuff going on so quickly. The Blaziken is the one to actually wisen up here - scooping both of them up and hastily tossing them onto the nearest flying Pokemon, before returning itself to a ball that Alicia had secured around her neck.
  371. Nov 25 23:03:37 <zoofarrator> "Chase? What the hell? Is going on. I-"
  372. Nov 25 23:04:11 <zoofarrator> Genevieve, it looks like it was some sort of honey-based...mead or something? Maybe interesting to taste, but you can probably guess she was just bringing the guards drinks.
  373. Nov 25 23:04:26 <Saryx> ... Does Rosetta have one more bird to spare?
  374. Nov 25 23:04:38 <Genevieve> Doesn't matter, I'm just taking the cup with us.
  375. Nov 25 23:04:40 <Chase> "It's a long-ass story." he's grinning from ear to ear. "And we're gonna have plenty of time to tell it. Selene's being taken to the boat now."
  376. Nov 25 23:05:05 »» Chase hops on Brahms and begins to lift off!
  377. Nov 25 23:05:07 <Rosetta> I forget if I brought Maestoso or Vivace along with me. I think I forgot to say which six I brought along.
  378. Nov 25 23:05:37 <Rosetta> But I thought we had enough rides before, and telekinesis and Cadenza account for another two.
  379. Nov 25 23:07:39 <Saryx> Well, Saryx hops on board. "This statue, though... Huuunh..." Would it be possible to initiate an Augury on it and then fly off while he's still getting the info?
  380. Nov 25 23:07:45 <zoofarrator> Between all of you, pertty sure you got enough Flying Pokemon!
  381. Nov 25 23:09:24 <zoofarrator> It is possible, Saryx.
  382. Nov 25 23:10:27 <zoofarrator> Either way - before either of these two ladies can get much to say out - the birds take flight, shooting out of the canopy and straight for the open water.
  383. Nov 25 23:10:29 <Saryx> I'll await the results later, then. Unless you anticipated it and conveniently have the results Paste'd.
  384. Nov 25 23:14:08 <zoofarrator> Okay - told Saryx what the vision was.
  385. Nov 25 23:15:16 <zoofarrator> As your flying Pokemon approach open water, you spot the small fleet of ships - now west of the isle. They have cannons ready, facing the forest, but as you start to fly toward them, you see someone waving lights - like you were landing a plane or something - from the main ship.
  386. Nov 25 23:15:44 <Rosetta> "Phew, looks like they didn't get assaulted by merfolk." Rosetta nudges her birds down toward the ships.
  387. Nov 25 23:16:57 <Chase> "And we got out scot-free! Haha, fuck yeah!" he goes for a landing.
  388. Nov 25 23:17:08 <zoofarrator> Tilde's standing on deck as you touch down, she walks over and stares at the three girls she didn't see previously. "..."
  389. Nov 25 23:18:24 »» Genevieve steps off Fabre and gives the Swarmie a pat-pat. "Good work."
  390. Nov 25 23:18:36 <zoofarrator> "Welcome home." She says. "Is that the..?" She gestures to the apple that Robin's holding.
  391. Nov 25 23:19:34 <Chase> He rubs Brahms on the head affectionately as he hops off. And once Alicia gets off her mount? She's getting jumped at and hugged tightly.
  392. Nov 25 23:19:43 <zoofarrator> Robin: "Sun...shine? The apple? The apple! Yes, where's Cyclops? She's here, right!?" Tilde nods and drags her and Cookie off for now, leading them to where they got the poisoned girl.
  393. Nov 25 23:20:34 »» Rosetta stows away her tranq gun and hops off Glissani, giving her and Cadenza each pats on the head. "Man, I gotta remember to get you all some nice treats when we're back to civilization."
  394. Nov 25 23:21:02 <zoofarrator> Fabre buzzes affectionately and 'sits' down to rest. As for Alicia, she practically falls off the bird she was on before you hug her. She's still in shock. "What the hell is going on here..."
  395. Nov 25 23:22:04 <zoofarrator> She pushes you away slightly, Chase, just to get a good look at you. "Ha...haha...no way, it really -is- you. Holy shit. Look at you, all...grown up."
  396. Nov 25 23:22:11 »» Chase keeps hugging her tightly for several moments, before finally letting her go and stepping back, laughing a bit.
  397. Nov 25 23:24:00 <zoofarrator> Glissani and Cadenza both coo as you pat them, Rosetta. Things couldn't of gone much better than they did!
  398. Nov 25 23:24:38 <Chase> "Haha, yeah... not -quite- as skinny as I used to be either. Got through college alright, had some ups and downs, and started a band... we all thought you died... It's been five years, sis. Five goddamn years." he laughs again, a bit weakly this time. "I'm just glad you're alright... several months ago... I became an Explorer to try and find out what happened to you."
  399. Nov 25 23:24:48 »» Rosetta reaches in her backpack and cracks open a soda for herself. And for the birds if they want it. She goes looking in their supplies for some nuts to feed them or dried fruit.
  400. Nov 25 23:25:10 <Chase> "And, well... it's been a hell of a ride."
  401. Nov 25 23:27:22 »» Genevieve puts the goblet in her bag and then stands on deck with a fishing rod hanging over into the water.
  402. Nov 25 23:27:28 <Chase> He looks after Cookie and Tilde and points that way. "Did you want to go with them...? Shit, there's so much we gotta catch up on, but I know you're probably worried about her, too..."
  403. Nov 25 23:29:26 <Chase> Jesus though, where does he start? How does she look compared to how he remembers her?
  404. Nov 25 23:30:02 <zoofarrator> When you said 'five years', she went a bit pale. "Holy shit. That long? We were sure, someday, we'd get off that place, but...Jesus, that was so...easy."
  405. Nov 25 23:30:52 <zoofarrator> "Were you -looking- for us, Chase? How did...how did you know about all this?" she points at the island, from where the sound of drums is still going strong.
  406. Nov 25 23:31:01 <Chase> "We got lucky." he looks back towards the island. "A few more seconds and we probably would have had to fight our way out..."
  407. Nov 25 23:32:25 <Chase> "...It started with a deal from a devil. - Not that kind, the dude is pretty chill, the One N'Only, one of the Forgotten Gods. He wanted me to look for his sister, so I asked him for the same thing."
  408. Nov 25 23:33:14 <zoofarrator> Saryx has something he could share with Genevieve in Rosetta in the mean time of all this mushiness, by the way! :P
  409. Nov 25 23:34:54 <zoofarrator> "Okay, now you're just fucking with my hea-" it's at this point, an Unown that had been floating around the deck - GATE - splits into 4 to make a shimmering rectangle, and Shark Fighter casually strolls back on board. "DONE."
  410. Nov 25 23:34:57 <Chase> "It all lead up to me becoming an explorer... and with his help along the way I met Tilde, and Gabriella... it was Sissy who told me about what happened that night. Captain Bastard and his crew had heard about this island, too, and were wanting to come to investigate it... Not to mention all the huge, world-ending shit that's tangled up with this place to begin with."
  411. Nov 25 23:35:22 »» Chase pauses to look at Shark Fighter.
  412. Nov 25 23:35:56 »» Rosetta 's eyes widen. "So you can make those portals! Is that something you can teach someone else how to do?"
  413. Nov 25 23:36:07 »» Rosetta hops to face him and doushios, forgetting the whole language barrier thing.
  414. Nov 25 23:36:32 <Chase> "Trust me sis, I couldn't bullshit you even if I wanted to."
  415. Nov 25 23:37:04 <Saryx> Saryx moves over just that way, not wanting to interfere on the mush as much as he'd like to watch the heartwarming reunion of family. "Gen? Razor? While Chase is--" a staaare of his own is pulled toward the portalthingy.
  416. Nov 25 23:37:36 <Genevieve> "What?" She doesn't look up from the rod.
  417. Nov 25 23:38:48 <zoofarrator> Shark Fighter has more than enough Intuition to figure out what you asked.
  418. Nov 25 23:38:56 <zoofarrator> the doushio transends normal language
  419. Nov 25 23:39:11 »» Chase creates an orb of AURA above his hand, an Aura Sphere to show Alice he's being completely serious. "I came out of this with some nifty powers, too."
  420. Nov 25 23:39:16 <Chase> *Alicia
  421. Nov 25 23:39:20 <Saryx> Well, it doesn't look like Rosetta's gonna be moving any time soon, so he joins Genevieve over by the side, soon pulling out his own shiny, new fishing rod. "... You know that statue we saw earlier? The one of that... Thing?"
  422. Nov 25 23:39:47 <Genevieve> "Yeah, the thing that looks like a Christmas Stantler."
  423. Nov 25 23:39:53 <zoofarrator> He just nods for now, not really having a way to convey it at the moment.
  424. Nov 25 23:40:36 <Saryx> "Well, I tried to get a vision of it real quick, before we headed out, and... Well, I was able to get something from it."
  425. Nov 25 23:41:40 <Saryx> "It was real brief, but I saw that same thing. Out in space, looking down upon the earth."
  426. Nov 25 23:42:07 <Rosetta> "Oh, uh..." Rosetta comes to her senses a little about the language situation. "When we," she waves her finger in a circle around everyone on board, "go back to the ruins", she points at the portal, then the island, then mimes a pyramid with her hands, "can you teach me", she points at herself, "how to do that?", she grabs ZODIAC and forcibly arranges some of his symbols into a doorway-looking thing.
  427. Nov 25 23:42:36 <Saryx> "And it seemed like it was plotting something... Said 'Soon it'll all come together,' or something close to that. It might be a wild guess here, but... You think it's possible that might be the Banisher?"
  428. Nov 25 23:43:42 <zoofarrator> Between the shirtless Rune Master portal man, and your aura orb, Alicia seems pretty confused. "What. I. I'm so confused...whose ship is this?"
  429. Nov 25 23:44:22 <Genevieve> "Certainly doesn't seem impossible. It wasn't any Pokemon I recognized, so why not."
  430. Nov 25 23:44:26 <zoofarrator> Shark Fighter tries not to laugh as you squish ZODIAC into a door shape. ZODIAC isn't very happy about this.
  431. Nov 25 23:44:40 <Chase> "Captain Arnaldo's - he leads the Veilbeak Bastards. They're a group of conscripted that've been helping the Explorer's Guild with work."
  432. Nov 25 23:44:42 »» Rosetta beams.
  433. Nov 25 23:44:52 <zoofarrator> "Need more rune. Many rune. And vodka."
  434. Nov 25 23:45:18 <zoofarrator> "And...Visiwa dictionary."
  435. Nov 25 23:46:11 »» Rosetta nods. "Sounds shiny. Is uh....do I have to drink the vodka?" she points at herself, mimes drinking, and then gives a quizzical look.
  436. Nov 25 23:46:32 »» Chase dispels the orb. "Come on, sis, let's go somewhere to sit down or something, alright?"
  437. Nov 25 23:46:37 <Saryx> "Yeah, it seemed at least a possible thing when I saw it. 'specially with... Wait, did I mention the other thing yet? After the Gym Battle I spent a whole lot of time training with Gabby, so I don't remember what I got over to the rest of you guys or not."
  438. Nov 25 23:46:44 <zoofarrator> "Yes."
  439. Nov 25 23:46:53 <zoofarrator> "Strong man big claw vodka only."
  440. Nov 25 23:47:26 <Rosetta> "...How much?" She makes a space about the size of a shot glass between her fingers, then a cup with two hands, then stretches them to the size of a bottle.
  441. Nov 25 23:47:45 <Genevieve> "What other thing?"
  442. Nov 25 23:48:56 <Saryx> "... Okay, so I didn't get that over to you guys, then." Saryx facepalms.
  443. Nov 25 23:49:21 »» Chase maybe leads Alicia somewhere she can have a seat.
  444. Nov 25 23:49:49 <zoofarrator> "Yeah...okay." She taps the Pokeball around her neck, releasing her Blaziken, which helps her up and joins you in moving to the galley of the ship.
  445. Nov 25 23:50:40 <Saryx> "After the Gym Battle, well... I was still real hyped up, and kind of upset I didn't actually get to do anything in that fight. ... Again. So while you guys were all looking through the prizes and stuff, I went and challenged that... What did they call it again? The bird they called El Tigre Kaw or something? ... I went and challenged it to a one-on-one."
  446. Nov 25 23:50:47 <zoofarrator> Shark Fighter barks at one of his Unown, which floats off and returns with a little red book. The cover reads 'Russian to Visiwan Dictionary.'
  447. Nov 25 23:51:00 <zoofarrator> Shark Fighter: "Enough till see many colors."
  448. Nov 25 23:51:14 »» Chase gives her some time to think things over before continuing, he'll let her ask questions and prompt him for the moment.
  449. Nov 25 23:52:53 <Genevieve> "Alright, aaaaand?"
  450. Nov 25 23:52:56 <zoofarrator> At some point Arnaldo pokes his head out of the helm, and shouts. "Oh, you guys are back already. Welp, getting the fuck out of here before they notice us. We're off to Goldcloud, but if you guys got plans elsewhere, well, we'll tug your boat along for now."
  451. Nov 25 23:52:56 <Saryx> "... I got stomped," he sheepishly admits. "... But while I was knocked out, I had another vision. A whole bunch of other Pokemon like it, also out in space, being enslaved by Clefairy and these other Pokemon I can't say I'd seen either... They also stole all their eggs, too. That the one Tempest's hatched from got to the moon was by its parents sneaking it out."
  452. Nov 25 23:53:14 <Rosetta> "Uhh, right. Guess I've gotta wait til we have vodka then."
  453. Nov 25 23:54:04 <zoofarrator> Alicia almost immediately snatches some blokes bottle of beer and downs it. The guy doesn't even raise question, word's gotten around where these girls came from. Mind you, she's basically wearing leaves and rags.
  454. Nov 25 23:55:50 <Genevieve> "Stopping space slavery might be a bit out of reach at the moment."
  455. Nov 25 23:55:53 <zoofarrator> She rubs her face, thinking. "So those two did survive, that night. Huh. How the hell did you run into her?"
  456. Nov 25 23:56:26 <zoofarrator> Shark Fighter's still flipping through the book, and tells you the following, Rosetta.
  457. Nov 25 23:57:29 <Chase> He laughs at this. "I think I still have some vodka stashed somewhere... Maybe not that smashed though. Oh, uh... Kind of an embarassing story, actually, involving an awards celebration with the guild and gym leaders, a couple of sour notes, plenty of booze, and me and another guy basically helping her back to her gym the next morning."
  458. Nov 25 23:57:55 <Saryx> "Yeah, I'd be more worried about what's going on here... But I'd think that's also linked to the Banisher. ... Wasn't the Ditto saying something about the Clefairy being aligned with the new type it was trying to create?"
  459. Nov 25 23:58:45 <zoofarrator> "Need many letters. One both sides. In motherland, had huge network through most glorious collective libary. Here, nothing. One with you must have visit other side."
  460. Nov 25 23:59:32 <Genevieve> "Something like that. There's probably other species closely related to the new type, too."
  461. Nov 26 00:00:12 <Rosetta> "Okay, easy enough if I bring ZODIAC around." Rosetta leans on the Unown.
  462. Nov 26 00:01:14 <zoofarrator> Alicia smiles: "Gym Leader..? Huh. Guess she's doing fine, then. Good for her... What of Mom and Dad?"
  463. Nov 26 00:02:34 <Chase> "Mom's same as always." he grins. "She bawled when I left home, you know how it is. But... well, dad, he's deployed in active duty right now. There's a war going on in Russia. Okowa and all that."
  464. Nov 26 00:03:57 <Saryx> "You mean here on earth, or out in space? 'cause there were... There were a whole lot of other Pokemon those Pokemon conquered, too, that also managed to get eggs safely to the moon... And it wasn't jsut Clefairy, either! There was this other big, pink, blobby creature, too... Not a Ditto, either!"
  465. Nov 26 00:04:48 <Chase> "I don't even know how much he's been able to be in contact."
  466. Nov 26 00:04:57 <Saryx> "At least... I don't think it was Ditto? ... If they're aligned with the Banisher it's possible they could've been taking the forms of these things, but they'd still have to be copying something that exists already, don't they?"
  467. Nov 26 00:05:06 <Genevieve> "There's a lot of pink blobs. And I mean on Earth and in space, too."
  468. Nov 26 00:06:03 <zoofarrator> Alicia rubs her face. "I don't have any nieces or nephews you haven't mentioned yet, do I? This is...well, I can't speak for the others, but much better than -I- expected to hear..."
  469. Nov 26 00:06:13 <zoofarrator> "Those of us that survived, at least..."
  470. Nov 26 00:06:20 <zoofarrator> "Do you know where we're going?"
  471. Nov 26 00:07:36 <Chase> He laughs at that note, then thinks. "Lessee... I know my group was planning on going to Goldcloud on the way to Sandseeker. I dunno about the fleet. I imagine either Goldcloud or Veilbeak."
  472. Nov 26 00:09:13 <Chase> "And naw, the girl I was dating when... you all vanished, that didn't end well, let's say. But I'm dating General Myres' daughter now." he grins. "She's actually part of a pretty popular team. Good head on her shoulders, too."
  473. Nov 26 00:09:42 <~zoofman> "Goldcloud maybe? Good. I got...so many loose ends to tie up," She sighs and thunks her head on the table, clearly exhausted. "Pay my respects to the Admiral n' all."
  474. Nov 26 00:10:16 <~zoofman> Your sister looks up, and squints.
  475. Nov 26 00:10:55 <~zoofman> "You're dating Dad's bosses's daughter. He's going to have a heart attack." And head's back down, with a laugh at least!.

  477. Nov 26 00:12:27 <Saryx> "Nnnngh... I just... I don't know what to make of it, Gen..." He's a bit frustrated with her taking shots at him in half her responses, but also frustrated 'cause he's having trouble wrapping his head around it. "... And even if I could make a definitive heads and tails of it, what would we even do about it?"
  478. Nov 26 00:12:57 <Saryx> "It's like you said, going to outer space to liberate imprisoned alien Pokemon doesn't sound all too viable right this minute!"
  479. Nov 26 00:13:00 <Chase> He grins. "Kent actually liked to crash my shows with his own performances. Me and him are pretty thick. He's the one that gave me my starter pokemon, too. The thing with Ammy Myres came a bit later, I didn't even know for a while." he laughs.

  481. Nov 26 00:13:10 <Rosetta> "I don't 'spose you'd wanna work together on a network here for the Guild." Rosetta ponders aloud, pointing at herself and Shark Fighter, then miming doorways as she hops around to show a distribution of them.
  482. Nov 26 00:15:39 <~zoofman> Shark Fighter starts to laugh - really hard. Grabbing his gut and everything. And then suddenly he snaps back to serious. "Da, comrad."
  483. Nov 26 00:15:44 <Chase> "Though, you bringin' up the admiral... reminds me we never did really find out what the hell job landed you and your crew in this hot mess to begin with." he frowns with a little scowl, which then softens. "But... you look like hell, sis. It can wait, I bet you're pretty fucking tired."
  484. Nov 26 00:15:50 <Genevieve> "We aren't in any kind of position to deal with the Banisher, we don't even know when or if he's going to touch down. For now, Grant and Dandy are more immediate threats."
  485. Nov 26 00:15:57 <Rosetta> "H-hey, what's so funny?"
  486. Nov 26 00:17:25 <~zoofman> Considering how he's looking at his Dictionary and scratching his head, Rosetta...
  487. Nov 26 00:17:31 <~zoofman> Looks like he's not sure how to explain it.
  488. Nov 26 00:17:55 <Rosetta> "Fiiine, whatever."
  489. Nov 26 00:19:17 <~zoofman> "Vod vod....bleh," he toses the dictionary aside, frustrated. "Will tell later."
  490. Nov 26 00:19:54 <Saryx> "Yeah, we still do have our hands full..." Saryx sighs, resting his head on the fishing pole for a moment. "Still doesn't help knowing there is literally something watching miles and miles away just watching us all creepy-like and stuff, you know?"
  491. Nov 26 00:20:13 »» Rosetta nods. "Guess we should get some rest now then, yeah?" She leans to the side and lays her head on her hands like a pillow.
  492. Nov 26 00:20:50 <Genevieve> "Saryx, I literally have DC around my neck at all times. The Banisher watching things doesn't even faze me."
  493. Nov 26 00:22:00 <~zoofman> Alicia shakes her head, Chase. "It was so simple. The usual gig, jump on a cruise ship, put on a show, loot the passengers, the typical insurance fraud scheme we do from time to time in this business."
  494. Nov 26 00:22:29 <Chase> He nods.
  495. Nov 26 00:22:55 <~zoofman> "We were told by our client to wait at that longitude and latitude for the ship's course to path...and...the isle came up right under us."
  496. Nov 26 00:23:09 <~zoofman> "It almost feels like we were set up. I don't know -why-, though."
  497. Nov 26 00:23:27 <Chase> "...shit. That does sound like they knew."
  498. Nov 26 00:23:45 <Chase> "Do you remember anything about the client?"
  499. Nov 26 00:23:47 <Saryx> "At least you know what's watching you. I mean, I got Kal'fu hiding under my bed, too, but... Man, you never even let me tell you about the thing with Yurnero, did you? Apparently his blessing came from some other creature that's got an interest in me, too, and neither of the two of us have a damned clue what that is."
  500. Nov 26 00:25:10 <Genevieve> "Kind of a shitty blessing, then."
  501. Nov 26 00:25:21 <Genevieve> "I mean, if it can't even point you in the right direction."
  502. Nov 26 00:25:47 <~zoofman> "Nothing that I could tell you without...talking with Conscripted leadership, Chase. I dunno what sort of business you got yourself into, but I gotta...get situated. And find some new threads..."
  503. Nov 26 00:27:30 <Chase> He looks a bit hurt at that, considering all of this. "Well, alright. I'll at least share with you what we know about all of this, get you caught up on recent events."
  504. Nov 26 00:28:14 <~zoofman> She looks up at you and pinches your cheek.
  505. Nov 26 00:28:22 <~zoofman> "Don't gimmie that hurt Lillipup look."
  506. Nov 26 00:28:42 <~zoofman> "I took my own oaths too, after all."
  507. Nov 26 00:30:15 <Chase> "Eh. I'm just surprised a nondisclosure agreement of all things is at the top of your mind after all of this. Or whatever it is - probably a bit more complicated. But yeah, I can wait."
  508. Nov 26 00:30:37 »» Chase relaxes, leaning back in his chair a bit. "Dunno how we're even breaking this to mom."
  509. Nov 26 00:31:33 <Saryx> "Well, I imagine eventually with all the things we run into I'll eventually cross paths with it... But yeah at the moment all that one's doing is watching me and shaking its head at me, Gen."
  510. Nov 26 00:32:13 »» Rosetta is now known as castfromhp
  511. Nov 26 00:35:00 <Genevieve> "It's not like we aren't acquainted with a number of high deities. Just ask around."
  512. Nov 26 00:35:05 <~zoofman> "This isn't between me and some company, it's between me and my fellow Conscripted." She squeezes your hand. "Thank you for what you've done, Chase. I really cannot thank you enough for it, but I owe it to the girls I got killed to do this our way."
  513. Nov 26 00:37:31 <Saryx> ". . ." Saryx stares at the pendant on Gen's neck. Unfortunately for him it might look like he's staring at her cleavage. "... You think yours might be any useful?" He readies Yurnero's PokeBall.
  514. Nov 26 00:37:50 <Genevieve> "As useful as he usually is, I suppose."
  515. Nov 26 00:39:03 <Chase> He nods. "Alright then, I can respect that." He returns the squeeze. "Guess we'll be parting ways at port then... you let me know if there's anything I can do to help you get back on your feet, arright? You always looked out for me when we were growing up, 'bout time I returned the favor." he starts to get up. "I think I'll head back to the Pleiades for now."
  516. Nov 26 00:39:07 <~zoofman> <You're adopted> is what Saryx hears as he stares at it.
  517. Nov 26 00:39:51 <Genevieve> "While that wouldn't surprise me, that wasn't the question."
  518. Nov 26 00:40:52 <Saryx> "You're just mad no one loves you as much as my parents love me," he snaps back. That got Saryx on the defense real quick!
  519. Nov 26 00:41:16 <Saryx> And quite mad, too.
  520. Nov 26 00:41:32 <~zoofman> You get a cackle as a response, Saryx. <Given everyone's favorite little bug girl single handedly is causing fiends to pop up left and right, I blame her first. Failing that, it's that stupid fish's fault.>
  521. Nov 26 00:41:59 <Genevieve> "Those were my first two guesses, too."
  522. Nov 26 00:42:13 <Genevieve> "And number three would be the Breloom."
  523. Nov 26 00:42:32 <Chase> "And sis? Welcome back." he smiles, reaching over and ruffling her hair a bit.
  524. Nov 26 00:44:09 <~zoofman> "Thanks. I think I'm gonna go find where they got the others...and some actual clothes. Starting to realize how skimpy these little makeshift outfits were." She shudders and stands herself.
  525. Nov 26 00:44:23 <Saryx> "... You mean talk to Shiva again?" Saryx lets out a massive groan.
  526. Nov 26 00:44:39 <Chase> He just grins as he heads out.
  527. Nov 26 00:45:17 <Saryx> "This isn't going to end well at all..."
  528. Nov 26 00:45:53 <Genevieve> "That sounds like a lot of your problem and not at all like mine."
  529. Nov 26 00:46:28 <~zoofman> Indeed, it is a first-Saryx problem.
  530. Nov 26 00:47:05 <~zoofman> But you guys have other problems to tackle in the near future! But for now, it's just a calm boat ride home! </session>
