- Sep 30 14:23:53 <DamienLunas> So on the third day of the man festival, once the evening starts to approach, you're called over along with Manaphy to begin preparing for the Parade.
- Sep 30 14:25:26 <DamienLunas> There's a large group standing by several floats and displays while some of the event coordinators try to set things up
- Sep 30 14:25:49 Mira carries manaphy if he doesn't mind. :3c
- Sep 30 14:26:17 <DamienLunas> A float with a large tree decorated with some staryu chimecho and chinglings catches your eye
- Sep 30 14:26:34 <DamienLunas> and little delibird with a sack peers over the edge and waves at you.
- Sep 30 14:27:15 <DamienLunas> Manaphy smiles from your arms, "Oh, I think that's the float dedicated to the bringer of presents!"
- Sep 30 14:27:33 Mira waves. "Oh, neat. So all the Legendaries are being represented here?"
- Sep 30 14:27:56 <DamienLunas> "Well not all of them... but there are a few."
- Sep 30 14:28:20 <DamienLunas> The delibird digs around in his little sack and holds up a little candy in blue wrapping.
- Sep 30 14:28:28 <DamienLunas> He gently tosses the candy underhand at mira.
- Sep 30 14:28:40 <Mira> 1d20-2
- Sep 30 14:28:57 Mira fumbles the catch, but manages not to drop it.
- Sep 30 14:29:00 <Mira> "Thank you~"
- Sep 30 14:29:11 <DamienLunas> "Deli deli!"
- Sep 30 14:29:25 <DamienLunas> "Aww, he says you've been a good girl this year."
- Sep 30 14:29:54 <DamienLunas> Mira gets a rare candy :D
- Sep 30 14:30:00 <Mira> "I hope so, anyway."
- Sep 30 14:30:10 <Mira> "I mean, we've sure done a lot, right?"
- Sep 30 14:30:23 <DamienLunas> "I like to think you've all been pretty good."
- Sep 30 14:30:34 <DamienLunas> "Maybe Six might be on the naughty list..."
- Sep 30 14:30:47 <Mira> "Well, uh. He...tries hard?"
- Sep 30 14:31:13 <DamienLunas> "I'm sure he does."
- Sep 30 14:31:25 <DamienLunas> Manaphy's little antennae twitches and he looks surprised
- Sep 30 14:31:45 Mira looks up
- Sep 30 14:32:04 <DamienLunas> "This feeling... oh! It's her! She's here!" :D
- Sep 30 14:33:02 <Mira> "You mean, uh, the captain?"
- Sep 30 14:33:12 <DamienLunas> "No, not the captain... look, over there!"
- Sep 30 14:33:27 Mira turns to look.
- Sep 30 14:33:32 <DamienLunas> He looks over at a golden chariot with a few kingdra hooked up to it where a young looking girl with a long white ponytail and blue eyes is standing.
- Sep 30 14:33:49 <DamienLunas> "Guardian of the Sea! Over here!"
- Sep 30 14:33:54 <DamienLunas> He waves happily from your arms
- Sep 30 14:34:09 <DamienLunas> She looks over and beams, "Prince!"
- Sep 30 14:35:06 <DamienLunas> She starts running over, "Oh my goodness I missed you so mu-" *wham*
- Sep 30 14:35:14 <DamienLunas> She trips over the reins on the ground and faceplants.
- Sep 30 14:35:38 Mira goes to help her up. Oh dear.
- Sep 30 14:35:45 <DamienLunas> "Owie..."
- Sep 30 14:36:13 <DamienLunas> She takes your hand and gets up to her feet, "I'm so sorry, I'm not used to legs." :<
- Sep 30 14:37:32 <DamienLunas> "Are you... the princess?" :o
- Sep 30 14:37:43 <Mira> "Um, yes I am. And you're...Lugia?"
- Sep 30 14:37:46 <Mira> "Pleased to meet you."
- Sep 30 14:38:11 <DamienLunas> She kneels down and kisses your hand. "I'm honored to meet you, Princess."
- Sep 30 14:39:04 <Mira> "I uh buh...you really don't need to do that. Just Mira is fine..."
- Sep 30 14:39:32 <DamienLunas> M: "I missed you a lot, Guardian... I heard you were injured so I was really worried... but you look great now!"
- Sep 30 14:40:11 <DamienLunas> Lugia smiles and gives Manaphy a little hug. "Don't worry, cutie! I'm alllllll better!"
- Sep 30 14:40:52 <Mira> "..Cutie?"
- Sep 30 14:41:43 <DamienLunas> Lugia looks up at you, "Don't you think he's cute?"
- Sep 30 14:41:54 <DamienLunas> "He's so tiny and watery and he has those cute little head thingies."
- Sep 30 14:42:40 <Mira> "Well, when you put it that way."
- Sep 30 14:42:46 <Mira> "I think you're right~"
- Sep 30 14:42:48 <DamienLunas> Manaphy looks just a little bit embarassed.
- Sep 30 14:43:33 <DamienLunas> M: "W-Well, what happened anyway? I haven't seen you in over 30 years..."
- Sep 30 14:45:29 Mira glances from one to the other curiously.
- Sep 30 14:47:09 <DamienLunas> Lugia looks up and rubs her ponytail with her fingers in thought, "Well, let's see... when that big disaster hit, I got hit real bad 'cause I was trying to protect this little girl."
- Sep 30 14:47:51 <Mira> "I-I'm glad you're okay now.."
- Sep 30 14:48:02 <DamienLunas> "After that it was kind of a blur, but I remember those three took me back to my tower so I could rest..."
- Sep 30 14:48:14 <DamienLunas> "It really hurt a lot. I don't know how long I was there resting..."
- Sep 30 14:48:41 <DamienLunas> "But then not too long ago I think, that Nurse Feelgood came to see me!"
- Sep 30 14:49:24 <DamienLunas> "He gave me some special medicine and sat and talked with me for a while until I felt all better."
- Sep 30 14:49:40 <DamienLunas> "When I was done, I was so happy that I gave him a miracle berry to thank him."
- Sep 30 14:50:14 <DamienLunas> "And then he asked me a few days ago if I wanted to be in a parade with the king, prince, and princess, so I said yes, and now I'm here!"
- Sep 30 14:51:38 <Mira> "Well, pleased to meet you."
- Sep 30 14:51:56 <DamienLunas> "Mmhm! It's nice to meet you too, Mira. You're really pretty."
- Sep 30 14:52:30 <DamienLunas> "That necklace looks so good on you! Did the Prince make it for you?"
- Sep 30 14:53:16 <Mira> "I um uh thanks."
- Sep 30 14:53:19 <Mira> "And yeah."
- Sep 30 14:54:37 Mira stares at her feet.
- Sep 30 14:54:54 <DamienLunas> "Aww that's so nice! I wish I had a guy to give me cool presents like that."
- Sep 30 14:55:01 * Gorby|Away is now known as Gorbash
- Sep 30 14:55:04 <DamienLunas> She goes over to a random person helping set things up
- Sep 30 14:55:09 <DamienLunas> "Hey, will you give me a present?"
- Sep 30 14:55:47 <Mira> "Um, uh, sure!"
- Sep 30 14:55:49 <DamienLunas> The squeaky voiced teenager looks around nervously, "Ummm... I have some gum...?" He says offering it to her a bit hesitantly before she snatches it out of his hand. "Ooh, thank you!"
- Sep 30 14:55:56 <Mira> "Oh."
- Sep 30 14:56:08 <Mira> "Ahaha."
- Sep 30 14:56:22 <DamienLunas> Lugia comes back over to you. "I got gum!"
- Sep 30 14:56:24 <DamienLunas> "What's gum?"
- Sep 30 14:56:45 <Mira> "It's uh, a type of thing you put in your mouth and chew to enjoy the taste."
- Sep 30 14:56:53 <Mira> "You're not supposed to swallow it, though."
- Sep 30 14:57:06 <DamienLunas> "Huh...?"
- Sep 30 14:57:14 <DamienLunas> "Why would you chew something you're not going to eat?" :/
- Sep 30 14:57:29 <DamienLunas> "Your human concept of gum confuses me." :<
- Sep 30 14:58:09 <Mira> "I'm not sure either, honestly."
- Sep 30 14:58:53 <DamienLunas> "Umm, do you want some?"
- Sep 30 14:59:56 <Mira> "Sure, if you don't want it. But you should at least try it, if that guy was nice enough to give it to you."
- Sep 30 15:00:13 <DamienLunas> "Uh, okay! Can you show me how?"
- Sep 30 15:04:51 <DamienLunas> She takes out one piece of gum and hands it to Mira and takes out another for herself.
- Sep 30 15:05:41 Mira takes the wrapper off, sticks it in her mouth, and chews?
- Sep 30 15:06:29 <DamienLunas> She hesitantly does the same, looking back between the gum and you to make sure she has the process right.
- Sep 30 15:06:42 <Mira> "Just like that, I guess."
- Sep 30 15:06:48 <DamienLunas> When you open it though, a little colored comic strip appears to be in the wrapper as well!
- Sep 30 15:08:08 <DamienLunas> "Mira, what is this? Some sort of informational scroll?"
- Sep 30 15:08:09 Mira takes that out too because no one wants to eat paper
- Sep 30 15:08:42 <DamienLunas> She looks at hers. "... I don't quite understand... if she puts her hands over her mouth, how can they hear her sing?"
- Sep 30 15:08:46 <Mira> "No, it's just...a story told with pictures. It's supposed to be funny, I think."
- Sep 30 15:08:48 <DamienLunas> "Perhaps it is some sort of koan."
- Sep 30 15:08:51 <DamienLunas> http://www.ugcs.caltech.edu/~jimmyk/bazooka_html/baz22.jpg
- Sep 30 15:09:16 <Mira> "Well, the joke is that her singing is terrible."
- Sep 30 15:09:22 <DamienLunas> "Oh."
- Sep 30 15:09:23 <Mira> "It's not a very funny joke, though."
- Sep 30 15:09:29 <DamienLunas> "That doesn't seem very funny. That seems mean."
- Sep 30 15:09:45 <DamienLunas> "Why would you tell someone their singing is terrible like that instead of helping them?"
- Sep 30 15:11:07 Mira shrugs. "I don't really know."
- Sep 30 15:11:51 <DamienLunas> "And this at the bottom says 'Fortune'. But... that doesn't sound much like a fortune."
- Sep 30 15:12:02 <DamienLunas> "It sounds more like bad advice."
- Sep 30 15:12:23 <Mira> "It's really strange."
- Sep 30 15:12:37 <DamienLunas> "Do you mind if I bequeath the rest of this stuff to you? I don't really get it."
- Sep 30 15:13:13 <Mira> "Well, at least try chewing it first, I guess? That's the main point of gum."
- Sep 30 15:13:29 <DamienLunas> "Oh! I forgot that part."
- Sep 30 15:13:33 <DamienLunas> Chew chew chew.
- Sep 30 15:14:14 <DamienLunas> "It's kind of chalky at first... but now it's kind of chewy and sweet."
- Sep 30 15:14:25 <DamienLunas> "I guess it tastes pretty nice."
- Sep 30 15:14:38 <Mira> "It's not something I've ever had myself."
- Sep 30 15:14:42 Mira chews on her piece as well.
- Sep 30 15:16:00 <DamienLunas> She chews and stares at the comic again before folding it up and putting it away.
- Sep 30 15:16:21 <DamienLunas> "So umm, what did I miss in the past 30 years?"
- Sep 30 15:17:21 <Mira> "Um, you knew about the cataclysm, right?"
- Sep 30 15:19:05 <DamienLunas> "Right, that's the thing that got me hurt." :<
- Sep 30 15:19:40 <Mira> "Right. Um. after that, I don't know much about the outside world, I'm sorry."
- Sep 30 15:19:51 <Mira> "Where we lived was completely devestated."
- Sep 30 15:19:57 <Mira> "And the rest of the world just forgot about us."
- Sep 30 15:20:11 <DamienLunas> ; ;
- Sep 30 15:20:19 <DamienLunas> "That's so sad..."
- Sep 30 15:20:56 <DamienLunas> "I'm so sorry princess I should have protected you better!" ; ;
- Sep 30 15:22:22 <Mira> "Don't worry it's not your fault ;_;"
- Sep 30 15:23:11 <DamienLunas> She sniffles and hugs you tight, "I'm sorry I'm sorry I'm sorry"
- Sep 30 15:24:53 Mira starts choking on her gum.
- Sep 30 15:25:41 <DamienLunas> She lets you go "oh god what did I do I'm sorry!" ; ;
- Sep 30 15:27:33 Mira eventually manages to cough it back up, and flops down on a bench to get her breath. "It's okay. I'm okay."
- Sep 30 15:28:55 <Mira> "Sorry to worry you."
- Sep 30 15:29:40 <DamienLunas> She catches her breath, "O-Okay. As long as you're all right."
- Sep 30 15:31:00 <Mira> "Yeah, really, don't worry about it. Stupid gum."
- Sep 30 15:31:04 Mira pats Lugia on the back.
- Sep 30 15:31:17 <DamienLunas> "Yeah, stupid tasty gum."
- Sep 30 15:33:28 <DamienLunas> "But... I really do want to protect you, okay?"
- Sep 30 15:34:38 <DamienLunas> "You're so nice. I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to you. You're my only other human friend." :<
- Sep 30 15:38:39 <Mira> "Well, if you asked some of my friends, I'm sure they'd be your friends too!"
- Sep 30 15:39:13 <DamienLunas> :D
- Sep 30 15:39:28 <DamienLunas> "Well I'm glad you're my friend. And I want to protect you so..."
- Sep 30 15:39:41 <DamienLunas> "Shall we form a link together?"
- Sep 30 15:40:57 <Mira> "Oh. Um! If you want to!"
- Sep 30 15:41:00 <Mira> "I'd be honored."
- Sep 30 15:41:18 <DamienLunas> "Thanks! Here, just hold onto my hands like this..."
- Sep 30 15:41:24 <DamienLunas> "And don't let go, okay?"
- Sep 30 15:42:07 <Mira> "Okay!"
- Sep 30 15:42:09 Mira holds on.
- Sep 30 15:42:11 <DamienLunas> She lets out a deep breath and wind starts swirling around you two
- Sep 30 15:42:27 <DamienLunas> The wind becomes stronger and stronger as it spirals about, lifting the two of you up into the air, higher and higher.
- Sep 30 15:44:00 Mira holds on for dear life oh god
- Sep 30 15:44:03 <DamienLunas> You're lifted to about twenty feet into the air and float there for a moment, before finally descending slowly to the ground.
- Sep 30 15:45:36 <DamienLunas> "There we go..."
- Sep 30 15:45:50 <Mira> "Th-thank you."
- Sep 30 15:47:08 <DamienLunas> "And if you ever really need my help..."
- Sep 30 15:47:32 <DamienLunas> "You can call me by saying this. Make sure you remember it, okay?"
- Sep 30 15:48:50 <DamienLunas> <The fury of the storm rises. Let the divine winds blow, and shield us from our enemies. Descend, Guardian of the Sea, Lugia.">
- Sep 30 15:48:50 <Mira> "Okay."
- Sep 30 15:49:04 Mira gets out a piece of paper and writes it down.
- Sep 30 15:49:19 <DamienLunas> "Oh, that's good thinking."
- Sep 30 15:51:13 <Mira> "Ahaha, thanks."
- Sep 30 15:51:49 <DamienLunas> "Oh, hey, it looks like we're going to need to start soon..."
- Sep 30 15:52:14 <DamienLunas> "I better turn back to my true form so they can get everything ready."
- Sep 30 15:52:21 <DamienLunas> "It was really great meeting you, Mira!"
- Sep 30 15:52:29 <Mira> "Great to meet you too!"
- Sep 30 15:52:35 <Mira> "Maybe we could go and do something sometime?"
- Sep 30 15:52:50 <DamienLunas> "Really, you mean it?"
- Sep 30 15:53:06 <Mira> "Of course!"
- Sep 30 15:53:13 <Mira> "Any friend of Manaphy's is a friend of mine~"
- Sep 30 15:54:23 <DamienLunas> She smiles and gives you another hug. Softer this time.
- Sep 30 15:54:57 <DamienLunas> Someone starts yelling, "Guardian of the Sea, we need you over here!"
- Sep 30 15:55:06 <DamienLunas> "Oh!"
- Sep 30 15:55:28 <DamienLunas> She starts running towards them and looks bac, waving, "Gotta go! Bye Mira! Bye Mana-" *wham*
- Sep 30 15:55:33 Mira winces.
- Sep 30 15:55:42 <DamienLunas> she pulls herself up.
- Sep 30 15:55:48 <DamienLunas> "I swallowed my gum." ; ;
- Sep 30 15:56:04 <Mira> "Well, uh, I think you'll be okay."
- Sep 30 15:56:25 <DamienLunas> "Right... thanks!"
- Sep 30 15:56:29 <DamienLunas> She walks this time.
- Sep 30 15:56:44 <DamienLunas> Manaphy giggles a little. "She's really great isn't she?"
- Sep 30 15:57:08 <Mira> "A little clumsy though. :3c"
- Sep 30 15:57:42 <DamienLunas> "Heh, I bet I'll probably be the same once I get an avatar."
- Sep 30 15:58:59 <DamienLunas> "Well, come on, we better get over to our chariot."
- Sep 30 15:59:41 <DamienLunas> "I know you're not too good with crowds... so how would you like it if I sort of played the sound of the ocean for you so you don't have to hear the crowd?"
- Sep 30 16:00:37 <Mira> "N-no. It's okay. I can do this!"
- Sep 30 16:00:39 <Mira> "I think..."
- Sep 30 16:01:07 <DamienLunas> "Well if you get a little nervous, just ask and I can make it so that you only hear the sound of the ocean."
- Sep 30 16:01:19 <DamienLunas> "But I'm glad you're willing to try."
- Sep 30 16:02:47 <Mira> "O-okay."
- Sep 30 16:02:53 <Mira> "It - it shouldn't be too hard, right?
- Sep 30 16:03:09 <DamienLunas> "Just smile and wave! Everyone's happy to see you."
- Sep 30 16:03:33 * Gorbash is now known as Teresa
- Sep 30 16:03:34 <DamienLunas> "Now come on, let's go."
