Kaorin Sakura: 	Welcome to the World of Pokémon!
	Venec: 	* Venec walked back into the pokemon center from outside, Rhea and Lucy following.
Kaorin Sakura: 	* Starting the following day.
Venec whispers: Moring Tai Chi practice. Rhea's not letting Venec sleep in anymore.
Kaorin Sakura: 	8:25 A.M.
	Cepheus White: 	Cepheus had been waiting in the Pokemon Center almost all morning. He was anxious and didn't sleep as much as usual. Red promised Cepheus he'd still be around, but where was he?
* Red enters the Pokémon Center behind Rob, coughing a bit and sniffling. He looked tired.
* Red enters the Pokémon Center behind Venec, coughing a bit and sniffling. He looked tired.
DNA: 	...You mean behind Ve-yeah
	Venec: 	"Morning Cepheus." Venec waved and sat down nearby.
	Danny: 	Danny, still elated about their earlier victory at the gym, looked to be in high spirits. The young, green haired boy was sitting nearby Cepheus.
	Cepheus White: 	"Morning Venec. ...Red? That you? You don't look so good. Did you catch a cold?"
	Larry: 	Larry was around as well, looking cheery and rather proud of Danny.
	Danny: 	"He must have heard of our awesome victory!"
	Red: 	"Was out all night looking for the source of the poisoned water. I couldn't find it. Water is fresh and clean now."
	Venec: 	"It is getting cold out." Venec looked to Lucy, "Are you all right dressed like that?"
	Lucy: 	"I do believe I am Fire."
	Danny: 	"I would wager speaking to some of the Pokemon around the place," Danny mentioned. "Can you do that Red? I can. I am awesome."
	Cepheus White: 	"Ah, so the poisoned water afflicts Pewter no more? That's good to hear. And...I think you said you'd tell me what you knew. I did claim victory against Carlos, so...Please. What do you know?"
	Venec: 	Venec chuckled, "I forgot, you produce heat. I... think I turned fire myself somewhere along the line so I guess I didn't notice."
	Red: 	"I don't pry into anyone's head unless I need to. And no, the water was definitely poisoned last night. It's just fresh again this morning."
	Danny: 	"Hah! I pry into all the minds," Danny declared. Danny didn't really, but declaring outrageous stuff was his thing.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Meaning someone or someTHING poisons it every night and then cleans it up again. Sounds tricky to catch. But ...why would someone do that?"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"I can see poisoning something, but unpoisoning it just seems weird."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Maybe it's one of those weird hormonal things."
	Red: 	"Not sure. I felt that I'd inspect it before I left."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Right, makes sense."
	Danny: 	"Maybe it's a nocturnal Pokemon that is Water and Poison?"
	Cepheus White: 	"Red...why did you ask if I had a sister?"
	Venec: 	"Did n't you say something about that Cepheus?"
	Cepheus White: 	"About what, the poisoned water?"
	Danny: 	"We can't assume it's poisoned due to bad intentions." Danny nodded.
	Rhea: 	* Rhea smiled to Jupiter, "So you speak now too."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"You know it."
	Cepheus White: 	"I think it had something to do with the cave behind the waterfall, but I don't remember much else..."
	Rhea: 	"I'm sure the rest will be thrilled to hear your voice at last."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Indeed. My voice is positively scintillating."
	Larry: 	"You have an impressive accent Jupiter," Larry nodded in approval.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Why thank you, good sir Larry!" Jupiter nodded back, clearly excited by Larry's approvla.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	*approval
	Larry: 	"Your vocabulary seems to have improved as well."
	Venec: 	"I figgured something like grimer or muk moved in. They're more active at night, aren't they?"
	Red: 	"I met her."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Well, I am a little smarter now that I can talk. And yeah, Grimer or Muk sounds about right."
	Cepheus White: 	"...You...You what?"
	Cepheus White: 	"How do you even know if it was my sister?"
	Cepheus White: 	His voice was getting steadily more shaky, but he was trying his best to hide it.
You whisper to DNA: "I can feel a person's essence much less their mind and mental residue. Lineage is easily seen."
	Venec: 	"You have a sister?" Venec asked. The two had talked about Cepheus' family before, Venec left with the impression they were all gone.
	Larry: 	Larry seemed to emenate with psychic energy for a moment. He sent a calming vibe Cepheus' way.
	Cepheus White: 	"...Well, up until now...I thought I just HAD one. I thought she was gone with all the rest."
	Cepheus White: 	"Red...where did you meet her?"
	Grace Appara: 	"But this is great news, Ceph-chan."
	Danny: 	Danny, none the wiser, was tempted to mention how he'd totally hit on Cepheus' sister given the chance.
	Cepheus White: 	"I know; it's fantastic news! ...That's why I was anxious to find out if Red was telling the truth. Because of it is..."
* Crystal watches the ongoing discussion quietly, not sure if she should make any comments.
* Red pauses for a moment, as if attempting to reclaim the lost information.
	Cepheus White: 	"...it means that someone in my family is alive."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Danny, if you try any funny business, I will see to it personally you are stopped."
	Red: 	"...Fairly certain it was in Celadon City."
	Cepheus White: 	"Celadon City, you say? ...And when was this?"
	Danny: 	Danny faked surprise and innocence. "What! Me?"
	Red: 	"About a week ago. Give or take a few days."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Yes, you. Are there any other Dannys around here?"
	Cepheus White: 	"A week ago...Did she give any indication of what direction she was headed?"
	Red: 	"I've met a few Danny's. All female.'
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...None of them are here, though, so the statement is clearly directed at short and green here."
	Red: 	"Our encounter was brief and not one for such mingling."
	Danny: 	"I bet they were all amazing, strong and powerful," Danny nodded, "like me."
	Cepheus White: 	"...I...I see. ...Was she in good health?"
	Red: 	"The most memorable Danny I can recall is a female of about 18. She was part of a terrible festival accident and was left blind and covered in scars."
	Red: 	"But your sister looked just fine. Physically at least."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"You hear that? You're going to have your eyes gouged out."
	Danny: 	Danny whistled at Red's comment.
	Cepheus White: 	"Oh, that's wonderful! ...Anything else you know or can tell me? I'm...I'm anxious."
	Red: 	"She's alive. And just as lost as you. Probably more so as when I met her, she was alone."
* Jupiter Roswell gave Danny a glare. Then after the whistle, he floated directly in front of his face.
	Danny: 	"Hear that, your sister just fiiiiine."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Do that again," he said, his hand ready to slap Danny. "And I will hurt you."
	Danny: 	Danny clicked his fingers at Jupiter like a black woman at the mall.
	Crystal: 	"Danny, now's really not the time."
	Grace Appara: 	"July, don't feed into his antics."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Stop calling me that!"
	Danny: 	"Listen to Grace Jup-Jup."
	Danny: 	"She is beautiful, talented and very, very smart," Danny nodded.
	Cepheus White: 	"Alone...so...just like me right now, it seems. ...Thank you for the information, Red. You have been a great help."
	Red: 	"Are you?"
	Red: 	"You seem to be surrounded by a loving family."
	Cepheus White: 	"...Well..."
	Red: 	"I wouldn't call you alone."
	Cepheus White: 	"Just like I USED to be, anyway."
	Red: 	"Anyway, I'm off to bed. I'll head south when I wake."
	Cepheus White: 	"All right. Take care."
	Danny: 	"What about you Red, you seem like the loner type."
	Crystal: 	"Red has a family waiting for him in Pallet."
	Red: 	"Hopefully."
	Danny: 	"...or does he..."
	Danny: 	Danny said that ominously.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Danny...you are hereby forbidden to make any advances toward boss-man's sister," Jupiter said forcefully. "Are we clear on that?"
	Crystal: 	"We spoke with them less than a week ago."
	Danny: 	Danny sighed. "Fine."
* Red waves to everyone dismissively as he walked off, obviously incredibly tired.
	Crystal: 	"Well, with your wife. Your daughter went looking for you."
	Danny: 	"But his mother is fair game, right?"
	Cepheus White: 	"My mother died when I was five, Danny."
	Danny: 	"Oh, hmmmm, too soon?"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"I do not want his only family being scared away by a little kid who doesn't know how to keep it in his pants. You have been warned."
	Venec: 	"Well I've always loved seeing Celadon."
	Danny: 	"I don't wear pants," Danny said, "but shorts are super cool."
	Danny: 	Danny struck a modelling pose.
	Cepheus White: 	"The sooner we can get to Celadon, the better, then."
	Venec: 	* Venec looked to Crystal.
	Danny: 	"Let's head into that silly Mount Moon," Danny said.
	Crystal: 	"There's a contest tomorrow that we qualified for, but we don't have to attend that if we're in a hurry."
	Cepheus White: 	(Hopefully, she'll be heading this way...)
	Crystal: 	"On the other hand, if she's in a big city, showing up on TV might get her attention."
	Cepheus White: 	"...If you guys want to stay for the contest, I'll accommodate. I don't mind. And...Crystal, I was thinking the same thing."
	Cepheus White: 	"I was thinking of some way to send her a message. Appearing in this contest might do just that."
	Venec: 	"We were on TV weren't we? The fight against Mewtwo?"
	Crystal: 	"Do you have any kind of unique family heirloom or tradition she might recognize?
	Rhea: 	"Cepheus wasn't in that one Master Myles."
	Cepheus White: 	"...A unique tradition? ...No, I don't."
	Danny: 	"Um, does your sister watch TV?"
	Cepheus White: 	"But there aren't very many people named 'Cepheus'..."
	Cepheus White: 	"...If she saw one, she probably would, Danny. Just to keep up with the news in the world."
	Crystal: 	"Childhood nicknames? Something she'll recognize as soon as she sees or hears it? You could dedicate the victory to her."
	Cepheus White: 	"Hmm...possibly..."
	Danny: 	Danny, wanting to check the area with his psychic powers, spread out his mental powers.
	Cepheus White: 	"I could think of /something/."
	Venec: 	"I could ask if my mom could do something, she's in the metro area."
Kaorin Sakura: 	What exactly are you checking Danny?
	Cepheus White: 	"Like to pass a message along? How would you do that?"
	Crystal: 	"... I could see if the police are willing to help. This is, in a sense, a missing persons case, right?"
	Danny: 	His intention, baring in mind the ability to read the thoughts and memories of a person from a day past, was to find the culprit that was poisoning the water.
	Cepheus White: 	"In a sense, yes...although I'm not sure if she's strictly 'missing'."
	Venec: 	"Did you have pokemon liscense where you grew up? You might be able to message her or something."
	Danny: 	He spread his psychic sense throughout Pewter and searched. Danny's eyes were closed and the young man was quiet for a change.
	Cepheus White: 	"She probably has a license now, but she didn't before we were separated. Is it possible to even send messages like that?"
Kaorin Sakura: 	I'm going to limit the Telepathy ability to LoS for Humans.
	Venec: 	* Venec took out his pokedex and poked it. "I can transfer money to you but I don't know if that was over a Team Oak group network or not. You could send her 10 yen or something and maybe it would show your ID."
	Crystal: 	"It might help if you come with me when I go to the local station." She sighs, hugging the egg close to her body.
	Danny: 	Can Danny use it on Red?
	Danny: 	To garner what he found out during his investigation?
Kaorin Sakura: 	Line of Sight required. But yes.
DNA is disconnected.
DNA is disconnected.
	Danny: 	Danny, breaking into Red's room to gain line of sight, made to use his psychic powers.
	Venec: 	"I need to get some shopping done, I want to gear up for the trip. Anyone want these boots? They're heavy but they resist dark moves according to the tag."
DNA has connected.

* Red is found undressing by Danny, as to the unlocked door of the Center. He is in a pair of unbuttoned trousers and revealing his heavily toned body from his daily travels and training. There are visible scars.
	Red: 	"..."
	Danny: 	"..."
	Danny: 	Danny said, "Shh."
	Danny: 	"I am reading your mind."
You whisper to Danny: Information gathered will be given on Skype.
	Red: 	"..."
	Danny: 	Trying on Shoes
	Danny: 	Prerequisites: Psychic, Empath, Digging At-Will Target: Pokemon or Trainers. Effect: You may read thoughts from the past day in a mind with Telepathy. Using this on a target leaves discoverable psychic residue.
	Red: 	"Out."
	Red: 	"Close the door behind you."
	Danny: 	"Just a moment," Danny said, "reading your mind."
	Danny: 	"Humchukahumchuka."
* Red let go of his pants, allowing them to fall and steps out of them, facing Danny.
	Red: 	« 1d20-2 = 16 - 2 = 14 »
	Red: 	« 4d12+16+34+18 = 30 + 16 + 34 + 18 = 98 » Special Untyped Damage! + 12m knockback.
	Danny: 	Teleport!
Avara: 	you just took damage from staring at red's naughty bits.
Avara: 	how does that make you feel?
* Danny rolls: 1d20 => 9
DNA is disconnected.
DNA is disconnected.
DNA has connected.
Avara: 	hi
DNA: 	...hello...
* Danny rolls: 1d10+10 => 7 + 10 = 17
DNA: 	The last thing I said was "...Actually...", and I didn't see anything else after that.
	Danny: 	Danny, using that distance, teleported straight back to the others.
	Danny: 	Danny loses 15 hit points.
	Danny: 	"I finished reading Red's mind, and there's something fishy going on besides the water," Danny declared.
Kaorin Sakura: 	The door slams upstairs.
	Danny: 	"Ignore that. It's just Red changing."
	Cepheus White: 	"Fishy, besides the water? And do you know what this thing is, or not?"
	Danny: 	"Most Pokemon seemed to be frightened by something."
	Danny: 	"I think we should speak to some Pokemon and find out what they're afraid of," Danny nodded.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Psh, I fear NOTHING!"
	Grace Appara: 	"Of course not."
	Grace Appara: 	"You've grown too intelligent to even register your latent instincts."
	Venec: 	"Well I'll give 'em to ya Cepheus. I was going to sell them otherwise. But I want to get shopping done before we all start moving."
	Grace Appara: 	"Thus, you're dumb to the simple things."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Yeah! I have nothing latent!"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...wait..."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Did you just insult me?"
	Grace Appara: 	"No. I was stating a fact. About everyone in this room."
	Danny: 	"No," Danny said, "it was a compliment."
	Cepheus White: 	"I will gladly accept these boots, Venec. Thank you."
	Danny: 	"Although I like to think I am a master at instinct," Danny nodded.
	Miranda: 	"Oh Hey. I am here."
	Miranda: 	"And now, I get to say."
	Danny: 	"Anyway, we have some poisoned water to stop!"
	Miranda: 	"Grace, you're weird."
	Venec: 	* Venec handed them over, he was still barefoot from practice earlier.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Yeah, but she's cutely weird."
	Miranda: 	"Like, evolution maybe, de-evolution maybe altering something sciency otherworldly creeping nonsensical or even whimsical sort of weird. Get what I'm saying?"
	Danny: 	"Larry is waaayyyy cuter."
	Larry: 	Larry smiled.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"She is totally not Cthulhu."
	Grace Appara: 	"I uhh...what?"
	Miranda: 	"I'll tell you."
	Miranda: 	"I."
	Miranda: 	"Can't."
	Miranda: 	"Sense you."
	Grace Appara: 	"Yeah, what?"
* Crystal tilts her head a bit, and tries to use her Aura sense to detect Grace.
	Miranda: 	"...Nope. Doesn't matter I guess. Nothing. Carry on. Boots were traded. That sounds important.
	Larry: 	"I can't seem to sense Grace either. Odd."
	Larry: 	Larry looked thoughtful.
You whisper to Avara: Grace's Aura is very faint, likely ghostly. But it is visible and she's very confused and slightly frightened.
Rhea whispers: Rhea always uses aura sense, as much as her eyes. She notice anything?
	Crystal: 	"Grace, did you learn any new tricks, or did something about you change recently?"
You whisper to Venec_Myles: Firstly, you can't. It's an activated thing to always have it on is to always defense curl. You'll need to promot me when you use it.
You whisper to Venec_Myles: Grace's Aura is very faint, likely ghostly. But it is visible and she's very confused and slightly frightened.
	Grace Appara: 	"..."
	Grace Appara: 	"No. Definitely, not."
Rhea whispers: I thought we'd covered that some species always have it on.
	Cepheus White: 	"You can't... sense her? That's odd."
You whisper to Venec_Myles: Not sure where you got that from but no, none always have it on. You have to activate it.
	Larry: 	"Well, what of that Weavile ineffective Punishment attack?"
* Cepheus White attempts to sense her himself by using Aura, to see what registers.
	Crystal: 	"Your aura's hard to see. It's there, but it's faint."
You whisper to DNA: Grace's Aura is very faint, likely ghostly. But it is visible and she's very confused and slightly frightened.
	Venec: 	* Figuring Miranda was done with the helpful part and he had nothing left to overhear took his leave for the shop.
	Cepheus White: 	"...Grace...what's the matter?"
	Grace Appara: 	"...I'm fine."
	Cepheus White: 	"...That's fine if it's the truth, but please, be honest with me."
	Larry: 	"I would wager she is completely fine," Larry mentioned, smiling, "it just appears to be a idiosyncracy to Grace."
	Nanetta: 	"Welcome to TC&PC! Have a look around! Let me know if something interests you!"
	Crystal: 	"It might be a good idea not to pester her about it. If something -is- wrong we'll figure it out. It might be something in the area affecting her."
	Venec: 	"I was looking for armors and such, do you have anything like that here?"
	Grace Appara: 	"...More Rotom?"
* Grace Appara blatantly ignores Larry.
	Cepheus White: 	"Rotom? I don't think so..."
	Nanetta: 	"Yes, we have Standard Armor."
	Larry: 	Larry looked a little concerned that he may have upset Grace.
	Venec: 	"What's the non-standard armor?"
* Cepheus White was rubbing the bangle on his right wrist, as if to alleviate concern or to get some sort of reaction out of it.
	Nanetta: 	"Non-Standard Armor is of difficult crafting and research. David, rest his soul, was researching a way to craft stronger Armour."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...Hey, boss... I just noticed...That thing there, right above your bracelet...Where did you get that?"
	Nanetta: 	"Of his notes, he mentioned asking passerby's for Cherubi Berries. No one would provide him such a thing for obvious reasons, thus, the application for its possible crafting ceased."
	Cepheus White: 	"This bangle here, you mean?"
	Venec: 	"Did something happen? He asked me actually, I forgot the berry type but I've been collecting several."
	Nanetta: 	"The berry type are Cherubi."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Yeah. It clearly isn't something ordinary. I see white lines on it but they keep vanishing. And on top of that, there's no way to get something like that past your arm. So...what is it?"
	Venec: 	* Venec looked through and frowned, "Nope, none of those."
	Nanetta: 	"And he died due to the river. Slipped in one day."
	Venec: 	"...oh. I'm sorry."
	Cepheus White: 	"...It's...I'm not sure how to put this."
	Cepheus White: 	"It's a physical manifestation of a person's soul."
	Nanetta: 	"No, it's quite alright. I've taken the will of the shop. I could perhaps try to craft his armor but I'm not sure I have the stomach for it."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...wait...hold on, what?"
	Miranda: 	"Get-ting interest-ing."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"A manifestation of a soul? Is that even possible? And if so...whose soul is it?"
	Cepheus White: 	"Yes it's possible, and...it's mine. Or at least a fragment thereof."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...How...and why...did you do something like that?"
	Venec: 	"My companion here was looking into armor crafting." Venec looked to Lucy, then back, "So learning what it takes to make the best stuff is something we're interested in."
	Cepheus White: 	"...What do you mean, how and why?"
	Crystal: 	"You broke off part of your soul... and made a bangle out of it. Which you wear now. Is that about right?"
	Nanetta: 	"I'm...not inclined to pass the notes, but you may copy them."
	Cepheus White: 	"That's about right...plus a bit more."
	Lucy: 	"Certainly. Show me."
* Lucy pulls out her notebook and pin in a flash.
	Nanetta: 	"I-um, o-one moment."
* Nanetta produces a pair of old, dirty and stained notes.
	Nanetta: 	"...It's coffee."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"First off, the why. Why would you tear off a piece of your soul and make it into a bangle? Wouldn't your soul just be fine where it is right now?"
* Lucy copies the notes instantly.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"And unless you learned some weird mystic technique, how on earth did you take out a piece of your SOUL?"
	Venec: 	"Aneue, if she's helping this much do you think you could you make a second, cleaner copy for her?"
	Lucy: 	"Certainly."
* Lucy copies her copy.
	Nanetta: 	"Ah-no, it's quite alright."
* Lucy hands Nanetta the copy.
	Nanetta: 	"Or....thanks."
	Venec: 	"A living camera, she is."
	Cepheus White: 	"...It wasn't something I did alone."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"You had someone else help you rip out your soul?"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Stop being vague and tell me the truth already!!"
* Lucy reads the notes.
	Lucy: 	"1 live Cherubi."
	Lucy: 	"...We have living Cherubi, don't we?"
	Venec: 	"... I'm going to protect any pokemon I catch. So if that's what it takes then we're at a dead end."
	Cepheus White: 	"...Jupiter, there's two of these bangles in existence right now. They form a matching set. One is completely useless without the other."
	Lucy: 	"... ... ..."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...So you had someone else help you to rip out TWO pieces of your soul?"
	Lucy: 	"What if I change that to '1 wild Cherubi
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Once again...WHY?"
	Venec: 	"Uncomfortable, but managable. Do we have to kill it though? Otherwise one of mine isn't so bad."
	Lucy: 	"...From the instructions we /may/ be able to keep it alive with constant healing. But it's torture if you don't kill it."
	Cepheus White: 	"I did not extract two pieces of my soul. It's one of mine and one of someone else's. And, when put together, these pieces formed two identical bangles, when brought into a physical form."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Now you're just being weir--"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"... ..."
* Jupiter Roswell stopped short, as if he just noticed something.
	Crystal: 	"Cepheus, stop describing the process and start describing the reason you performed the process."
	Venec: 	"We'll get some healing items and make sure it's asleep?"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"I get it now!"
	Rhea: 	"He has trouble killing the cute ones."
	Danny: 	Danny, along with Larry for that matter, listened to Cepheus and Jupiter bicker with interest.
	Venec: 	* Venec couldn't deny that, but was a little annoyed.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Crystal. He just said there were two bangles."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"The lady at his side is wearing the other one."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"And now suddenly everything makes sense."
	Lucy: 	"...I'd at least explaint to the Cherubi it'd undergo terrible and painful senstions for the next few hours in the name of experimentation."
	Crystal: 	"Alright."
	Cepheus White: 	"....I was trying to explain it poetically. Guess that didn't go over very well."
	Nanetta: 	"S-So, buying anything?"
	Venec: 	Venec nodded, "We'll see... Oh! Sorry. What else is needed for armor craft and could we get it here?"
	Cepheus White: 	"But yes...her 'fragment' is right next to mine. It's why her aura looks really faint...although why this is exactly, I'm not sure."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Whoa...that is freaky cool. What does it do?"
	Nanetta: 	"A smithing set should do. It's relatively small and 1800¥. But anything standard you can buy here."
	Cepheus White: 	"A few things, but it all comes down to: whatever affects one of us affects the other."
	Crystal: 	"That might explain it. Can I see one of the bangles?" She stands up, walking over.
	Cepheus White: 	"Sure." He stretched his right hand out.
* Crystal moves so she can see the bangle against Grace, checking to see if she could see some of Grace's aura in the bangle itself.
	Venec: 	"I think I'll wait and see what we can produce on our own. In the meantime I will get that smithing set... a couple of vitamines... Did you want Transform TM?"
	Cepheus White: 	"The bangle matches in color with the other's aura, so some of it can be seen."
Avara: 	was ceph supposed to say that?
DNA: 	Yes.
Avara: 	crystal didn't say what she was doing
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Question, why do the white lines keep disappearing."
DNA: 	I know.
DNA: 	But it's capable of changing color, so he explained that bit.
	Cepheus White: 	"It's supposed to simulate a heartbeat."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Ah, that makes sense."
* Crystal nods. "That explains why her aura's dimmed." She checks to see if the same happened to Ceph.
	Danny: 	Danny attempted to read the Bangle's 'mind'...
	Danny: 	Danny eyes, glowing magenta in colour, showed his use of powers as he stared at the bangle.
* Crystal steps away, returning to her seat next to Miranda.
You whisper to Avara: No Aura can be seen from Cepheus.
	Lucy: 	"...Yes?"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...Wait, Crystal, didn't you say something about being able to deliver a message through the police to boss's sister? Under what circumstances can that be done?"
	Venec: 	"Lets throw that in there too..."
	Venec: 	* Venec goes along with his shopping.
	Crystal: 	"Now that the mystery of the soul-bracelet was solved, I'd like to head to the local police station. We can try explaining the situation to them--well, Cepheus can. And we can see if they're willing to help."
	Venec: 	"28,700 so far. Most of the winnings."
	Cepheus White: 	"I would appreciate that very much; thank you."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Okay, then! Let's move out, ladies!"
	Danny: 	Danny's eyes returned to normal. "I have seen your Bangle," Danny nodded.
	Danny: 	"It was glorious."
	Cepheus White: 	"...It is, isn't it?"
* Crystal stands up, and holds out a hand to help Miranda up.
	Danny: 	"You don't understand, I tried to read the 'mind' of the bangle."
	Cepheus White: 	"And what did you see?"
	Venec: 	"Some Hyper Potions and Revives and I think we're set!"
	Danny: 	"Nothing."
	Danny: 	"At all. It was glorious."
	Cepheus White: 	"...You saw nothing...and seeing nothing was glorious?"
	Cepheus White: 	"If I may ask...why is seeing nothing glorious?"
	Grace Appara: 	"I feel that way about dreams."
	Miranda: 	"I used to eat those."
	Danny: 	"Because nothing is equal to zero, and zero is equal infinite."
	Grace Appara: 	"...Could you eat mine?"
	Miranda: 	"No, it leaves nightmares."
	Rhea: 	* "Master Myles. What we talked about?"
	Danny: 	Danny nodded.
	Grace Appara: 	"I'd rather do without. But thank you for being honest."
	Miranda: 	"Anytime. Anytime."
	Venec: 	"Oh yes!" Venec turned to Nanetta, "Do you have any berries that lower Special Attack?"
	Rhea: 	"Born with a fire in my soul I have little use for. It only distracts me in battle, while powering no moves."
	Cepheus White: 	"A very interesting perspective, Danny."
	Danny: 	"Yes!"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Crystal, which way to the police station? It is time to follow your lead!"
	Danny: 	"Now, we better handle this poisoned water problem," Danny declared.
	Danny: 	"Let's head to that cave behind the waterfall!"
* Crystal heads out of the station, looking around and... turning to look at Danny, then Cepheus. "Take your pick. Visit the police, or go hunting for the poison."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"I think for boss that the police is more important right now. We can look for the poison later.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	Danny, you can do what you wish, but you won't have any of us around for a while."
	Danny: 	"I will stick with you guys."
	Danny: 	"Anyway, I might get the chance to meet with your sister," Danny nodded.
	Cepheus White: 	"Yes...meet. Not hit on, just meet."
* Crystal starts walking again, quickly getting a grasp for which direction to go.
	Danny: 	"I make no promises!"
	Nanetta: 	"Yes, we have them."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"For your sake, I hope this is a promis you can keep."
	Nanetta: 	"Hondew I think it was called?"
	Venec: 	"About four of those, if they're cheap enough."
	Danny: 	"I said I make no promises!"
	Nanetta: 	"375 ¥ per."
	Danny: 	"Clean your ears Jup-Jup!"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Danny! Don't push your luck!"
	Venec: 	"Ah, easy. Throw four of those on the list." Venec heaved his items onto the counter.
	Crystal: 	"Danny, if you ruin their reunion you're getting sent to the corner again."
	Danny: 	Danny, approaching the lake, noticed something odd. "What the?"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Danny, what's the hold up for?"
* Gaele turns to the approaching Danny and facepalms.
* Jupiter Roswell slowly turned around.
* Cepheus is deep in reading a book.
	Gaele: 	"Ceph...we have company."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Crystal! Miranda! Quick! Get over here NOW!"
* Jupiter Roswell pointed.
	Cepheus: 	"Just a moment, Grace. It's getting interesting."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...Look."
	Crystal: 	"What's going on?"
	Danny: 	"What the..."
	Gaele: 	"GAELE! I'm GAELE!"
	Danny: 	"Cepheus! Hurry up!"
	Cepheus: 	"Whatever."
	Cepheus White: 	"...This isn't going to end well."
	Danny: 	"We're finding your sister, remember!"
	Cepheus White: 	"...Do I walk over or do I stay back?"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"We're walking over. He could be in danger."
	Cepheus: 	"My what now?"
* Crystal looks at the weird duo from afar, trying to read their auras.
	Danny: 	"Your sister, of course."
* Cepheus closes the book, but not without first saving hsi page.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...You there...by the lake."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...Who are you? and what are you doing here?"
You whisper to Avara: They both have Auras. Cepheus calm and Gaele full of bloodlust.
	Danny: 	"It's Cepheus, Jupiter."
	Danny: 	"It's your trainer!"
	Gaele: 	"It's....It's her."
	Crystal: 	"Danny, move back. Now!"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Cepheus is right behind me."
	Gaele: 	"...Her. Finally."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Danny, get back!"
	Danny: 	"Why?"
	Crystal: 	"Gaele's going to murder someone!"
	Danny: 	"We're allies..."
* Gaele stands up from the bench and clenches her fist.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Don't ask why, just do it!"
	Cepheus: 	"..."
* Gaele is filled with a wave of power.
	Danny: 	Danny suddenly hugs Gaele.
	Gaele: 	+2 Atk, +2 Def, +2 Speed.
	Danny: 	"See!"
	Gaele: 	"Hng!"
	Danny: 	"She's an ally!"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Danny!"
* Gaele is hugged and blinks awkwardly.
	Venec: 	* Venec continues his purchases.
	Gaele: 	"What...what....get off!"
* Crystal runs over and uses Threaded to pull the (hopefully) lighter Danny over, holding onto Miranda for extra weight.
	Danny: 	"You will need to ask your maaaaan to get me off!"
	Miranda: 	"I weigh more. It works."
	Cepheus White: 	"Danny! Get off her."
	Cepheus White: 	"It's impolite to hug strangers without asking."
Kaorin Sakura: 	Danny is yanked by Threaded to Crystal.
	Danny: 	Unfortunately, Danny is a feather weight. And is yanked like a yo-yo toward the much heavier Crystal.
	Danny: 	"Weeee~"
	Gaele: 	"....Ugh. No different."
	Crystal: 	"Larry, you need to get your trainer a leash."
	Gaele: 	"Anyway, where was I?"
	Cepheus: 	"You were sitting down. Enjoying the scenery and not murdering anyone."
	Gaele: 	"HOW CAN YOU SAY THAT?!"
	Gaele: 	"BOTH OF THEM are RIGHT THERE!"
	Cepheus White: 	"...Excuse me for a moment."
	Cepheus: 	"Exactly. Sit down. Relax. Sip your juice and eat your ice cream. Ignore them. They'll go away."
	Gaele: 	"...Have...have you gone mad?"
	Crystal: 	"Grace, you... might want to take him and head for the station."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Well...they don't look like they're about to kill anyone..."
	Cepheus: 	"No. But you attack anyone and you have. Trust me."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...Boss. I'll stay here with Ava. I can handle this."
	Grace Appara: 	"Pu-lease. I'm waiting for the female to make a big mistake."
	Cepheus White: 	"...Are you quite sure?"
	Cepheus: 	"Grace, don't egg her on."
	Gaele: 	"My name is GAELE."
	Danny: 	Danny pulled out his 'dex and scanned the clone of Cepheus.
	Cepheus: 	"not you Grace."
Venec whispers: is the list all right?
	Gaele: 	"...I'm gonna hit you one of these days. With all of my might."
You whisper to Venec_Myles: Yup.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Positive. I don't want you two to get hurt if something nasty arises."
	Cepheus: 	"Sit. Down."
	Venec: 	"Well lets find the others. "Venec finishes up payment, "We can apply treats then"
	Cepheus: 	"Turn away. Be polite and eat your sweets."
	Gaele: 	"..."
	Venec: 	(We get there when you say we do.
* Crystal hands her egg to Miranda, slowly moving closer to the duo, but keeping a somewhat safe distance all the same.
	Danny: 	"Cepheus clone! I demand a battle!"
* Gaele sits down but not without first glaring daggers at Grace and Cepheus.
	Cepheus: 	"Not interested."
	Danny: 	"..."
	Danny: 	"oh poo~"
Kaorin Sakura: 	Venec can arrive.
	Crystal: 	"Danny, go with the Cepheus and Grace from our group."
	Venec: 	"Hey guys, stuff going on?"
	Cepheus White: 	"...I'd like to apologize for my young friend here. He's...easily excitable."
	Danny: 	"You are stinky and ugly Cepheus clone!"
	Danny: 	"Our Cepheus is way better looking!"
	Cepheus White: 	"...Danny, would you mind coming this way for a bit?"
	Crystal: 	"Danny. Go now, or you're going to the corner."
	Danny: 	"No! This is about honour!"
	Danny: 	"Hey Cepheus clone! Do you have a sister?"
	Cepheus: 	"Your friend is excused. But if you don't mind, I'd like to finish my book."
Avara: 	does cepheus-by-the-water have an arceus bracelet?
	Cepheus: 	"And I'm well aware I have a sister."
Kaorin Sakura: 	He in fact does not bare an Arceus bracelet.
	Cepheus White: 	"Of course. I am sympathetic to that. Danny, this way please. Pronto."
Venec whispers: Venec aura reads.
	Danny: 	Danny followed, a sad face.
You whisper to Venec_Myles: Cepheus is calm. Gaele is enraged.
	Crystal: 	"Could you explain one thing, before we leave? You seem to know what's going on. We have no idea. I'd like to fix our side of that."
	Cepheus: 	"We only know a fraction of what's going on, actually."
	Venec: 	* Venec shrugs as he sees them walk off and sits by the river himself.
	Cepheus White: 	"Danny, do you remember the last time we ran into a clone of the party?"
	Cepheus White: 	"I really hope you didn't forget."
	Danny: 	"Yes. We defeated it!"
	Cepheus White: 	"And you got severely wounded in the process."
	Cepheus: 	"What I do know, is that ignoring my primal insticts to muder Cepheus and Grace are in my best interests. And so I am. And so will she."
	Crystal: 	"Can you explain the fraction, then?"
	Danny: 	"I am tough!"
	Venec: 	"We know less than a fraction too. I met another me with far less self control than you."
	Cepheus White: 	"My copy appears to be more civil than Venec's, but that won't hold forever."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Hoooooooold on a minute."
	Crystal: 	"Are there other versions of the rest of us?"
	Cepheus: 	"Of course."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Why on earth do you have a primal instinct to murder my trainer?"
	Crystal: 	"Do you know where they are?"
	Gaele: 	"...Kill 'em now, Ceph?"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Who...or what...are you two?"
	Cepheus: 	"No."
	Cepheus: 	"And not at all. We don't get along all that well so we split up."
	Danny: 	"See, it won't hold forever. What happens if there are a whole heap of copies! And they all bind together to create an evil group! That destroy us all!"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...What do you mean...don't get along that well?"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Don't get along that well with WHO?"
	Venec: 	"Nah, this is probably just some comic book Nega-self vs anti-self thing going on. Where two copies can't stand to see each other. Or something."
	Crystal: 	"We'd like to know the source of our 'others', but if you don't know or can't tell us, I can understand that."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"What's a comic book?"
	Cepheus: 	"Oh, I see."
	Venec: 	"Things I like reading."
	Danny: 	Danny rushed back to the group!
* Cepheus White - the real one - knocked on the door of the police station and poked his head in. "Excuse me?" he said, looking around. "I'm looking for someone."
	Cepheus: 	"No. Our first breaths were on an island before we were taken into the sky, given equipment and dropped from it."
	Crystal: 	"Thank you."
	Danny: 	Danny attempted to read Gael's mind!
* Crystal steps away.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Taken into the sky and...dropped?"
	Cepheus: 	"We have no idea who created us, why or what our purpose is other than the most primal instinct overpowering even that of feeding to kill our look-a-likes."
Kaorin Sakura: 	Danny's Telepathy is limited to Humans.
	Danny: 	"They're not human!"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...And how many copies like you are there? One for each person on the planet? Or one just for us?"
	Venec: 	"Well... we're trying to find out about the sky. I know it's hard on you but do you think you could help us at all? I know relaxing massage but I don't know if touch only makes it worse."
Kaorin Sakura: 	( I hope you don't mind, DNA, if I ignore the police station bit for a moment. )
	Danny: 	Danny chucked a Pokeball at the Grace copy!
DNA: 	(That'll be okay. I can tlak with Jupiter.)
	Danny: 	It was a spur of the moment action.
* Crystal throws a ball to intercept Danny's.
	Venec: 	(It doesn't do anything, she's at full HP)
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Danny! Don't you know it's RUDE to interrupt civil discourse?"
Kaorin Sakura: 	That'll be a Dex Contest.
* Danny rolls: 1d20 => 20
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"You can start throwing Poke Balls AFTER they start attacking us."
DNA: 	(...lol)
Avara: 	« 1d20-4 = 8 - 4 = 4 »
Avara: 	yeah, no.
Avara: 	was hoping for a crit to counter his to force a reroll.
	Danny: 	"You throw like a girl!"
Kaorin Sakura: 	Thus, Danny's ball flies true. AC roll please.
	Venec: 	( could argue he's too far away. Overland max distance)
	Crystal: 	"You think like a lunatic!"
* Danny rolls: 1d20 => 1
Kaorin Sakura: 	He totally is.
	Venec: 	".... I really hate to see his copy."
Kaorin Sakura: 	And that flops elsewhere anyway.
	Danny: 	and thus karma
DNA: 	^haha
	Venec: 	"I appologize that you had to know him."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"A copy of Danny? Oh dear Arceus. That sounds TERRIBLE."
	Cepheus: 	"I'd warn against doing that, Danny. She really hates PokéBalls of all kinds."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...But, Gr-er, Gaele. Are you a copy too?"
* Gaele attempts to distract herself with ice cream.
	Danny: 	"A copy of me?"
	Gaele: 	"I am a copy of no one. I am my own person."
	Danny: 	"Hah! It'll pale in comparison to the real thing!"
	Venec: 	"Oh! Do you have a pokenav? Maybe we can talk over the nav later."
* Crystal looks at Larry. "Larry, take Danny to go get some ice cream. I'll pay."
	Cepheus: 	"Ah no, we don't."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Then... why do you travel with...with...not-Cepheus?"
	Cepheus: 	"About the only thing I can tell you about the Sky Ships is that they dropped us after giving us equipment. It was all basic and nothing spectacular though."
	Larry: 	"I have been trying to talk to via telepathy for a while. We're still discussing the merits of going to the police station."
	Venec: 	"And I'm out of cash... Dang. If everyone scraps money together we might get you one, a token of good will."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...No offense meant. I just...you're not Cepheus to me. Sorry."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Wait, the SKY SHIPS?"
	Crystal: 	"Did you convey the importance of not getting his friends murdered?"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"You too? Oh crap; they're out for blood."
	Venec: 	"It might help with the primal impulses as you called it."
	Cepheus: 	"I can't control their actions and frankly, I'd rather be as far from all of you as possible."
	Danny: 	"Why?"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Weren't you listening, Danny?"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"He wants to kill boss."
	Cepheus: 	"No contact. Else I'd end up contemplating silent kills."
* Crystal turns to walk away, giving up on Danny.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...But you're perfectly fine if you aren't around us, right? Right?"
	Danny: 	"Oh," Danny brushed away, "you can't handle us to get a silent kill!"
	Venec: 	"Can you tell us where to start looking? Or how the doors to the ships work and which kinds of ships to target? Those are my last questions before I leave."
	Danny: 	"Cepheus is way too strong. This guy is a pale immitation. A weakling. A nobody. A silly billy."
	Danny: 	"And Grace is way hotter than this pretender."
	Danny: 	Danny pointed at Gaele.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Danny, although I totally agree with you in all regards..."
	Cepheus: 	"We were dropped so I can't say. We were released from the bottom of the ship. That I remember. But that's about it. There was an island and then we were on a ship. And then dropped."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"I suggest you say that when you're out of earshot."
	Gaele: 	"You're all just lucky I have no /need/ to kill any of you."
	Venec: 	"Thanks. I'm sorry to trouble you. Really, I do owe you, contact me if you need anything, you know my name." Venec stood up and started to walk away.
	Danny: 	"You couldn't kill a fly!"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"No offense, but you probably couldn't kill us if you tried."
	Gaele: 	"..."
	Crystal: 	"... Are you able to read minds? I think I might have seen the island you're talking about, through something in the forest."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"We're...not lightweights."
* Cepheus rubs his temples.
	Danny: 	"Yeah! We're super strong, hey Jupiter."
	Crystal: 	"Jupiter, stop provoking her. She -will- try to kill you."
	Cepheus: 	"...Don't let it get to you."
	Danny: 	"We beat Carlos up."
	Venec: 	"We're going to be traveling east, through the mountains. It'l be a while before we start hitting south of here again so if it's distance you want."
* Gaele stands up and cracks her neck.
	Venec: 	"Lucy. You can throw him."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...I am not going to start any fights that don't need to be started."
	Lucy: 	"Which?"
	Venec: 	"Danny."
	Danny: 	Danny made a sad face.
	Danny: 	"Fine."
	Danny: 	"I'll be good."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"I would do what my trainer would do...try and find a peaceful resolution."
	Gaele: 	"Alright, alright. So. I'm a weakling am I? I'm no stronger than any of you? I'm just a pitiful piece of trash not fit to even LIVE?!"
* Cepheus sighs heavily.
	Venec: 	"No, you're fine, you're beautiful and if I didn't think it would be torture for you I'd offer to trade for you."
* Gaele hunches over and grumbles, an aura of power circling around her.
* Jupiter Roswell moved in front of Gaele promptly, to block her path.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Please...Do not start."
	Danny: 	Danny was moved by Jupiter's bravery.
* Gaele pauses, looking at Venec.
	Danny: 	"Jupiter is so cool..."
	Gaele: 	"..."
	Gaele: 	"I know you..."
	Gaele: 	"You're that....that loudmouth."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"I don't want to fight you, Gaele."
* Gaele reaches out and holds a hand in front of Jupiter.
	Venec: 	"Yes I am." Venec nodded.
	Gaele: 	"Not you, handsome."
	Gaele: 	"This one..."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"You...You remember me?"
	Gaele: 	Analysis: « 1d20+7+14 = 8 + 7 + 14 = 29 »
	Gaele: 	"W-Wha...."
	Gaele: 	"Holy..."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"I've never met you before in my life, though."
	Danny: 	"Jupiter's a loudmouth?"
	Gaele: 	"Ceph!"
* Crystal tenses a biit, not sure what's going to happen. She keeps watching Gaele, using her aura-vision to try and figure out her exact intent.
	Gaele: 	"They're...they're so much weaker!"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Hey! I am NOT!"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...Wait, weaker than WHAT?"
	Cepheus: 	"Yes, I know. But that's not the problem."
	Cepheus: 	"Look around you."
	Cepheus: 	"You're outnumbered."
	Cepheus: 	"We're outnumbered."
	Cepheus: 	"Sit down."
	Crystal: 	"Keep in mind... we beat Venec's copy by working together. One-on-one we might honestly all be weaker."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...Were..."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Were you actually planning on attacking us, not-Cepheus?"
	Gaele: 	"What're you TALKING about?!"
	Venec: 	"What did you say you're name was?" Venec asked Gaele, "Sorry, I'd come in a little late."
	Danny: 	"Well," Danny thought aloud, "the way that was said, it was as if you would attack us if not for our numbers."
	Gaele: 	"If THIS one is THIS much weaker...I...I could probably kill a pathway to the other two and...and we'll finally be free. Free, Ceph. Free.":
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Free? Free of what?"
	Cepheus: 	"Sit down."
	Crystal: 	"Their innate drive to kill someone for reasons they can't understand."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...What if..."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...and this is just a what if..."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...What if there was a way to extract and destroy that drive from them?"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"That way they could live their lives how they REALLY wanted to!"
	Danny: 	"...what if we take you to Professor G and you give him the chance to help you...?"
	Cepheus: 	"There's only one."
	Cepheus: 	"To kill the look-a-like."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...You don't know that."
	Cepheus: 	"We're not machines. We can't be programmed."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"So?"
	Cepheus: 	"No amount of science or magic worked. We tried."
	Crystal: 	"Your counterpart was able to manipulate and remove part of his soul. I think that's what Jupiter has in mind."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Science and magic fail in comparison to the power of emotion."
	Gaele: 	"So..."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"And yeah...boss was able to manipulate his own soul...with some help."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Crystal is right. It is not impossible."
	Gaele: 	« 1d20-2 = 13 - 2 = 11 » Gaele reaches out to touch Jupiter.
	Gaele: 	Burn status.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(Can that be magic coated?)
	Gaele: 	( It's not a move. Much like Flame Body. )
	Gaele: 	"...Do you really think...you can break this..?"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Ow! What was THAT for?"
* Crystal walks over and sprays Jupiter with Burn Heal.
* Gaele places her other hand on Jupiter. « 1d20-2 = 2 - 2 = 0 »
	Larry: 	Larry didn't like that sneak attack; he promised he would never do this to Grace, but there were promises made for Gaele.
	Larry: 	Larry used Attract on Gaele.
	Venec: 	* Venec paused and tried turning on his Poketch to the Glitch Calming signal to see if that did anything.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Thanks, Crystal."
	Cepheus: 	me glanced to Venec and frowned.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"And...Gaele, whoever you are! Learn some manners, please!"
* Cepheus glanced to Venec and frowned.
	Cepheus: 	"We tried that too."
	Gaele: 	"All I did was touch you."
	Venec: 	"So you've seen Professor Oak about it?"
	Larry: 	No wait, she was just making a point. Larry stays civil.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"It...it hurt..."
	Gaele: 	"Is my touch THAT harmful to you? Are you THAT frail?"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"It's not my fault that fire hurts me! It's just who I am, dangit!"
	Cepheus: 	"Yes. But not with revealing ourselves."
	Venec: 	* Curiously Venec walked over and placed a hand on her shoulder.
	Gaele: 	* Burn status not inflicted due to Venec's Fire typing.
	Venec: 	* He took his hand off. "... that answers a few questions I've had."
Avara: 	is this grace fire typed?
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"It's...it's like..."
Avara: 	well.. is gaele
	Gaele: 	* As far as visuals go, she looks like a Fire Sync'd Grace.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"It's like seeing Grace...walk the path of darkness..."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...like something she COULD have become..."
	Venec: 	"What did you say your name was?"
	Danny: 	"Why didn't I get burned when I hugged you?"
	Gaele: 	"Gaele."
	Danny: 	Danny grinned. "I have super powers!"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"i..."
* Jupiter Roswell was getting a little unnerved by Gaele, so he turned to the not-Cepheus instead.
	Danny: 	"Oh no way, our Grace is way more awesome. Way stronger."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...I don't know if there is any other way to draw that drive out of you..."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"but if there is, I want to find it."
	Crystal: 	"Danny, hush."
	Danny: 	Danny made a sad face. He kicked the ground. "I am just saying the truth~"
	Gaele: 	"...Really?"
	Gaele: 	"You."
* Gaele points to Jupiter.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...M-me?"
	Gaele: 	"Who is stronger? You or....Grrracccce?"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...It depends on your definition of stronger."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Each of us are better at doing different things."
	Danny: 	"Sorry, could you repeat that last word, Gaele?
	Cepheus: 	"And this is the time I bid you all farewell."
	Crystal: 	"Good luck, Gaele, Cepheus."
* Cepheus reaches out to Gaele but stops at seeing her Aura.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...you two..."
	Cepheus: 	"Come on. We're leaving. You're only making a scene."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...I want to see you two again."
	Gaele: 	"I can DO this Ceph!"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"But next time..."
	Cepheus: 	"No, you can't."
* Crystal takes a deep breath.
	Danny: 	"Wow. Why doesn't this Cepheus believe in Gaele?"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"I want to see you two for who you want to be."
	Danny: 	"What a meanie head."
	Gaele: 	"UGH! Why don't you believe in ME?! I can win this! I can end it!"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Good luck. both of you."
	Danny: 	"You have to trust you Pokemon fake-Ceph!"
	Crystal: 	"Are you sure you can handle her when we're separated, Cepheus?"
	Venec: 	"You can eat him Lucy."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Gaele... It's not that he doesn't believe in you."
	Cepheus: 	"You're outnumbered. You've no teamwork to back you up. They do. You'll only get yourself killed. I'm not letting that happen. Let's go."
	Lucy: 	"Don't tempt me Ototo."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"He does. But he knows that what you're suggesting is not the best idea."
	Lucy: 	"I am hungry."
	Gaele: 	"...Grr....."
	Venec: 	* Venec was shaking a little with anger himself.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...I heard boss say those words before...to her too."
	Gaele: 	"I'll listen to you for now. For now..."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Gaele...trust him. Trust your trainer."
Kaorin Sakura: 	It was obvious the two were caught up in each other.
	Venec: 	"It really isn't fair, you two. We'll keep looking ourselves for a solution"
	Cepheus: 	"Thank you, Venec."
	Danny: 	"What do we do if we meet more copies like you?"
	Crystal: 	"It might help if we eliminate the people who sent you on this mission."
	Danny: 	"Like, do you guys have a weakness?"
* Jupiter Roswell had very mixed emotions. He was confident but also somewhat sad, as if he wasn't sure what to say.
	Cepheus: 	"If you're as weak as she thinks...stay together. And hope they have control."
	Venec: 	* Venec nodded, and moved out of the way.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	(*sniff*)
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...It was almost like staring into the past...or the future."
* Crystal walks back over to Miranda.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...Guys...I'm..."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"I'm not sure what to believe."
	Danny: 	"Pfft. As if they have control. If we found my clone, he'd be uncontrollable!"
	Miranda: 	"...I like you guys. It's like...the world hates you. It's interesting."
	Danny: 	"If I know myself, he'd be all... pil pil pil... burrrrrnnnnn..."
	Venec: 	"That wasn't Cepheus and Grace. They weren't worse, they weren't better. They are two people unfortunate enough to have all this pre-written into their lives."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Miranda...that's...basically it."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"I know! And that's the worst part!"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"I want to help them but I don't even know how!"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"They're forever bound to...something...destiny? that they can't even hope to change. That's a terrible thing!"
	Venec: 	"Jirachi? Time Travel?"
	Crystal: 	"The Venec replica didn't want to talk, or anything. He used surprise attacks and tried to eliminate Danny first. Gaele wanted to murder us so she and her Cepheus could be free. Her Cepheus either wanted to leave us alone, or wanted to choose a more opportune moment."
* Police Officer looks up at Cepheus as he enters.
	Venec: 	"I'm... not the strongest willed person."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Even worse is seeing that Gaele girl. It was like looking at a really violent Grace. Like...like no self control."
	Police Officer: 	"Name and business?"
	Crystal: 	"I wonder... how similar are they to us?"
	Cepheus White: 	"Cepheus White. I'm looking for someone to deliver a message to."
	Venec: 	"But that was also a very strong willed Cepheus. The two switched."
	Danny: 	"I don't think they're all that alike," Danny said.
	Danny: 	"Venec's clone was just a dumb brute."
	Police Officer: 	"A message? I think the Pokémon Center handles that. What's the problem?"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"What if the clones took aspects of the originals...but then amplified their most notable traits?"
	Venec: 	"But... was that my clone? Or a clone copying my form? It never looked my way no matter how much I tried to fight it. It only cared about Danny."
	Cepheus White: 	"I'm...trying to reach someone that I don't know what their exact location is. I've been looking for this person for years...and I was hoping you might be able to help."
	Cepheus White: 	"Do you need a name? I think this person might have a trainer license."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Venec, your primary trait is being headstrong and physically strong.
	Police Officer: 	"We could check records if it's a relative."
	Crystal: 	"Cepheus' replica had a point. We're at our strongest as a team... if V-R wanted to beat us alone, he'd have to take out Danny first because Danny can keep the rest of us going."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	The clone just amplified those two beats."
	Danny: 	"I did gain some interesting information from them," Danny said, "turns out they saw the other Venec yesterday."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	*bits
	Danny: 	"Another Venec."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Boss' is self-control and analyzing situations. The clone was much the same way."
	Crystal: 	"From the look of things..." she looks skyward, "We've managed to make some arch nemeses."
	Cepheus White: 	"It is a relative. Last name White, same as mine. First name Cassiopeia." He spelt out each letter.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Seems that way...but WHY!?"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"What's the motive? Why are WE so special enough that people want our heads?"
	Police Officer: 	"Cassiopeia, hm? And oh, we know who you are. You were scanned when you walked in."
	Cepheus White: 	"Yes, that's her name."
* Crystal tilts her head down and pulls out her pokegear, trying to search for any contest mentions of her name or similar names that she wasn't the personal cause of.
	Venec: 	"We noticed something funny, kicked in the door and yelled 'hey guys what's going on!"
	Police Officer: 	"Ah yes, she has a License but I can't give any of her records to you."
	Crystal: 	« 1d20+4 = 16 + 4 = 20 » wisdom search check
	Cepheus White: 	"You can't? Why is that?"
	Police Officer: 	"Personal security."
	Police Officer: 	"Her records are her own. She needs to give clearance for you to view them."
	Police Officer: 	"If you want to leave her a message though, check the Center."
	Cepheus White: 	"...Figured as much. Fair enough. ...What would it take to get clearance? If she knew I was alive, that might change things around. But thank you very much for the help."
	Cepheus White: 	"Is it possible to say where she is? or at least the last place she visited?"
	Police Officer: 	"No problem."
	Police Officer: 	"I can't say that either. Sorry."
Kaorin Sakura: 	Are we talking Pokemon Contests?
	Cepheus White: 	"...All right. Thank you all the same." He walked out the door, politely nodding to the person who helped him.
Avara: 	primarily pokemon contests, yes.
DNA: 	Who is that directed a-oh, not me. carry on.
	Cepheus White: 	"...So, she is alive."
	Cepheus White: 	"If I manage to send a message along, it's possible that might draw her here."
You whisper to Avara: The results are of several past Jenny's in Contests decades ago. There hasn't been a Jenny in Contests for the previous 14 years. Any result will mention a new Jenny with a splice, possibly taking the Contests by storm if her streak remains.
	Venec: 	* Waiting for Cepheus, Venec draws out the Transform TM, and handed it to Lucy for her to apply.
	Cepheus White: 	"Hello, everyone."
* Lucy quickly applies the TM.
* Jupiter Roswell looked visibly shaken.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Boss!" he screamed as he flew through the air and attempted to hug him. While doing so he remembered that Grace gave better hugs, so he hugged Grace instead.
* Grace Appara hugs Jupiter back.
	Cepheus White: 	"Jupiter...you look really frightened."
	Grace Appara: 	"It's okay. Hey, where'd that girl with a death sentence go?"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"They left..."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"The other guy though..."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"He didn't attack us, but what he told us was terrifying."
	Crystal: 	"She was talked out of fighting by her partner."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"All the copies...have this unstoppable urge...to kill their originals."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"OH IT WAS HORRIBLE!!" he buried his face in Grace's chest.
	Venec: 	"It was strange. An inverse version of Grace and Cepheus where Grace acted on emotion and Cepheus was the voice of wisdom"."
	Grace Appara: 	"So, I should just kill her next time we see her?"
	Grace Appara: 	"Hey don't--wait. Thanks Tatakai!:
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Except it was a whole lot more extreme."
	Crystal: 	"They want to find a way to live on their own. Ideally, we'll find a way to remove the urge without killing them. Ideally."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"And..."
* Jupiter Roswell started poking Grace's hand.
* Crystal points up. "The sky-ships sent them."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Yay! You can touch me without hurting me!"
	Cepheus White: 	"So, the sky ships are responsible for our copies as well?"
	Grace Appara: 	"Of course I can. We just had a nice hug."
	Cepheus White: 	"And these copies have nothing more to want than our demises?"
	Cepheus White: 	"...Yet apparently mine managed to restrain himself...?"
	Venec: 	"Yes they are. Cepheus and Gaele were dropped from the bottom. Apparently they saw Venec just the other day."
	Cepheus White: 	"....hmm."
	Crystal: 	"No. They have an instinctive desire to kill their counterparts, but they want to free themselves of that and live normally."
	Crystal: 	"It's just that the only way they know how to free themselves is... to kill us."
	Cepheus White: 	"You think there might be a way to extract that desire without harming the rest of them?"
	Cepheus White: 	"...Wait. I just had an idea."
	Crystal: 	"Jupiter was already asking about your soul manipulation thing. They didn't bite."
	Danny: 	"I hope you realise that you were all duped into believing they were kind," Danny said, "when in fact they plan to attack us while we sleep."
	Crystal: 	"Well it's a good thing some of us don't sleep."
	Lucy: 	"I did notice that.
	Cepheus White: 	"What if they found someone or something that just looked like the original? Like a Ditto or something?"
	Cepheus White: 	"If they get duped into killing that, wouldn't the desire just vanish?"
	Danny: 	"Lucy is smart."
	Cepheus White: 	"I don't know if that's foolproof, but..."
	Miranda: 	"That depends.
	Miranda: 	"The desire, they said, is far stronger than the need to feed."
	Miranda: 	"That's pretty deep."
	Cepheus White: 	"...Oh dear."
	Miranda: 	"Think they can't feel the difference"?
	Cepheus White: 	"... ..."
	Danny: 	"Look at it from their perspective," Danny said, "we're outnumbering them. However, when the opportunity eventually presents itself, taking into account the law of averages, then they'll come down on us faster than a Ninjask."
	Venec: 	"Probably. They've looked for ways to cure it."
	Crystal: 	"So, the most likely way to solve that problem is to take out the source. Danny said he noticed they met a second venec clone yesterday, too."
	Crystal: 	"So just killing them won't solve it."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...What if that isn't a natural desire?"
	Lucy: 	"That's assuming..."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"What if it was placed there artificially...say, by one of those beacons?"
	Lucy: 	"They're the same clones."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"In which case, yes, destroying the source might solve the problem ENTIRELY."
	Lucy: 	"The Venec we fought I believe was a machine."
	Lucy: 	"He exploded and did odd things to Danny."
	Danny: 	"What if they're not the same enemy? I thought we were dealing with multiple organizations."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"One thing at a time, Danny. That's totally possible, but that doesn't mean that destroying the source of the control won't solve ONE of the problems."
	Danny: 	Danny then laughed, "But don't listen to me, I'm just silly Danny."
	Lucy: 	"The other two were organic they said. If that's true and there's mutltiple Ototo's..."
	Crystal: 	"... Why did they make copies of us in the first place, though? Apparently, clones that can't even stand to work together."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"That's what I said too!"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"It's like they get their sick kicks just by creating things whose only satisfaction is murder and they themselves can't control it!"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Ugh, it's like playing God!"
	Narrator: 	And thus our heroes were left yet another trail to follow in this spiraling plot of insanity and unstable worlds!
	Jupiter Roswell: 	but I wasn't finished ranting yet ;-;
	Narrator: 	Oh fine. Keep ranting.
	Narrator: 	I do need to sleep you know.
	Narrator: 	Go on now!
	Jupiter Roswell: 	".... .... ...."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"Thanks a lot. I completely lost my train of thought."
* Jupiter Roswell shook his fist at the sky.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"ARE YOU HAPPY NOW!?"
	Venec: 	We'll BGA it!
	Cepheus White: 	"Who on earth are you talking to?"
	Crystal: 	"... Jupiter, do you need a nap? I think you need a nap."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...no one..."
	Grace Appara: 	"July...what did the sky do?"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...It...interrupted my train of thought!"
	Grace Appara: 	"Oh! Are you picking up a signal from the Sky Ships?!"
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...I wish..."
	Grace Appara: 	"...Drat."
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"...I am really upset, aren't I. I could probably use a nap."
* Crystal gives Miranda a hug before the session ends.
	Jupiter Roswell: 	"And stop calling me July!" zzzzzzzzz
* Miranda gleefully hugs Crystal!
	Danny: 	"Thus ends this tale... merry christmas!"
	Narrator: 	Yeah, what Danny said.
