  479. HibariKid:
  480. and is based loosely on ancient Korea and Vietnam

  533.  
  534. Viera Spellblade:
  535. u were gonna change it to the point it wouldn't be anything similar to the original concept so I mean
  536.  
  537. Viera Spellblade:

  539.  
  540. Viera Spellblade:
  541. Either way we're long past that now
  542. Agtop:
  543. I still make fun of the kids for arguing about the difference between 15 and 3/4 and 17 though
  544.  
  545. Porsche:
  546. it was to give me an idea on what to play
  547.  
  548. Viera Spellblade:
  549. All you did was prove my point better
  550.  
  551. Viera Spellblade:
  552. Everyone but Merge and myself were boring.
  553.  
  554. Porsche:

  566.  
  567. Viera Spellblade:

  569.  
  570. Viera Spellblade:
  571. you coulda said so

  649. Agtop:
  650. I asspulled those ratios
  651. Agtop:
  652. don't fact check me, they're wrong
  653. Thrice:
  654. YOU SHOULD AT LEAST KNOW IT'S 78% NITROGEN M8
  655. Thrice:
  656. HYDROGEN?!
  657. Thrice:
  658. WE COULDN'T LIGHT A MATCH WITHOUT BLOWING US ALL UP
  659. Agtop:
  660. observe my ass
  661. Agtop:
  662. that's where the information came from
  663.  
  664. Porsche:
  665. ANYWAY
  666.  
  667. Porsche:
  668. Porsche is fat and she doesn't enjoy shooting children for sport, only for money
  669.  
  670. Porsche:
  671. That's about all we know of her personality
  672.  
  673. Porsche:
  674. Money and if she doesn't have any potato chips left
  675.  
  676. Rei:

  690.  
  691. Sylina:
  692. I like how you started out being serious then gradually started shitposting
  693.  
  694. Sylina:
  695. also she couldn't hold a conversation with a rock without boring it to death
  696.  
  697. Sylina:

  699.  
  700. Sylina:

  702.  
  703. Sylina:

  705.  
  706. Sylina:
  707. okay, not gradually
  708.  
  709. Sylina:

  717.  
  718. Yunao:

  720.  
  721. Sylina:

  723.  
  724. Yunao:
  725. you ALL do
  726.  
  727. Yunao:

  732.  
  733. Sylina:

  751. Miyuki:
  752. So we can start the session
  753.  
  754. Hideo:
  755. Oh, didn't realize that's what we were waiting on
  756.  
  757. Porsche:
  758. b-but no merge :^(
  759.  
  760. Sylina:
  761. Merge already said he wouldn't be able to make it
  762.  
  763. Sylina:
  764. and told us to go on
  765.  
  766. Hideo:

  772. Miyuki:

  775. Sylina:
  776. worst taste.
  777.  
  778. Yin:
  779. Oh right I forgot Yin
  780.  
  781. Yin:
  782. nobody likes her anyway she doesn't matter
  783.  
  784. Sylina:
  785. She's turning me into a tree
  786.  
  787. Yin:
  788. these motherfuckers just let her wander off with the dying blonde chick in the woods
  789.  
  790. Yin:
  791. for three hours
  792.  
  793. Yin:
  794. IT'S NOT EVEN A THREE HOUR WALK HOME.
  795.  
  796. Sylina:
  797. You are literally right next to us.
  798.  
  799. Yin:
  800. she's not I just moved her here for convenience
  801.  
  802. Sylina:
  803. But
  804.  
  805. Sylina:
  806. you are.
  807.  
  808. Sylina:
  809. Why the hell would we have split up?
  810. Thrice:
  811. bc she was carrying Rei ahead of you when waterworld showed up and didn't stop
  812. Thrice:
  813. why else do you think neither of them said anything that scene
  814.  
  815. Sylina:
  816. Because you were trying to let us direct it, rather than the leader of the party?
  817. Thrice:
  818. Did you think the "Where the fuck is everybody" was shitposting
  819. Thrice:
  820. it was not
  821.  
  822. Sylina:
  823. And didn't want to say too much
  824.  
  825. Sylina:
  826. Yes?
  827.  
  828. Sylina:
  829. Yes I did?
  830. Thrice:
  831. I do not shitpost mid-game
  832.  
  833. Sylina:
  834. You don't do anything BUT shitpost mid-game
  835. Thrice:
  836. if I say something in quotations in character i mean it
  837.  
  838. Sylina:
  839. Yin: **two miles down the road** "where the fuck did everybody go"
  840.  
  841. Porsche:
  842. so whats going on now
  843.  
  844. Sylina:
  845. You didn't even capitalize it
  846.  
  847. Sylina:
  848. that's the key signifier of a shitpost
  849. Thrice:
  850. she's too short to capitalize on anything
  851.  
  852. Sylina:
  853. yes, I realize the irony
  854. Thrice:
  855. ANYWAY, LAST TIME ON THIS FUCKING GAME
  856. Thrice:
  857. SOMETHING SOMETHING WE HAVE YOUR MOM TIRK TURN OFF YOUR SPEAKER ON EVOLVE
  858. Thrice:
  859. ER MIC
  860. Thrice:
  861. AND THEN LIKE, YOU WERE HEADED HOME.
  862. Thrice:
  863. Well, to Sanjoku
  864. Thrice:
  865. not really home
  866. Thrice:
  867. you hate the place probably
  868. Sylina: (( so like... is Tirk playing Yunao? ))
  869. Thrice: (( I think I am, Tirk is playing Porsche probably ))
  870. Thrice: (( considering I kind of doubt she would have a problem going 1 hour from the place and left with you to go that 1 hour from the place ))
  871. Thrice: (( This is not right next to the the shrine, remember? ))
  872. Thrice: (( this happenened when you were like 10 minutes away from town ))
  873.  
  874. Porsche:
  875. its noooot
  876. Sylina: (( No, the shrine is 5 hours out ))
  877. Sylina: (( be that from the town or the abbey, I don't know. ))
  878.  
  879. Porsche:
  880. well I mean what else do we have to RP beyond actually finding chef zeff
  881. Sylina: (( not much ))
  882. Sylina: (( Skip to right after your call I guess ))
  883. Thrice: (( a little bit ))
  884. Thrice: (( You were 10 minutes from town ))
  885. Thrice: (( the abbey is an hour from town ))
  886. Thrice: (( the shrine is five hours ))
  887. Thrice: (( from the abbey ))
  888. Thrice: (( IDK why you think Porsche has to dip out IMMEDIATELY ))
  889. Thrice: (( she can still help fight the shrine guardian, the airship with baika won't be at Yuda for at least two days ))
  890. Thrice: (( and the airdock is in town, not at the abbey obv ))
  891. Sylina: (( I don't think she does, I was just trying to figure out where we were standing ))
  892. Thrice: (( I was talking to tirk ))
  893. Thrice: (( he's the one who seems to think that ))
  894. Sylina: (( did we reunite with Yin and Rei on the way back because like hell they were moving that quickly ))
  895. Thrice: (( But in any case, we're cleared up on it now ))
  896. Thrice: (( Doesn't matter much whether you meet them before town or in town ))
  897. Thrice: (( Also Fen did give you the name of the guy to look for but like ))
  898. Thrice: (( I didn't KNOW the name yesterday. ))
  899. Sylina: (( Kinda mattered. "Not at all" was also an option ))
  900. Porsche: (( wait so we're fighting the guardian today in-game or something ))
  901. Yin: (( It's perfectly possible to yes ))
  902. Yin: (( we could just have a short session or do a side mission to get MT acquainted with combat ))
  903. Porsche: (( ok so where are we supposed to be rn ))
  904. Yin: (( five minutes outside of town, roughly ))
  905. Sylina: (( My suggestion was hopping to the airship, right after you were done with your call and we're all actually together ))
  906. Yin: (( wait why ))
  907. Yin: (( you're not going to Nimae ))
  908. Yin: (( they're sending someone here ))
  909. Sylina: (( yeah but the airship is where the phone is. ))
  910. Yin: (( who ya gonna call ))
  911. Porsche: (( were we not just using the phone ))
  912. Sylina: (( the.. high matron. We already did. ))
  913. Yin: (( Oh right, the matron was AFTER Miyuki ))
  914. Sylina: (( yes. ))
  915. Yin: (( So yeah it probably took place in the airship ))
  916.  
  917. Yin:
  918. "HEY! There you guys are! Where did you disappear to?!" Yin is trying her best to support Rei; considering she's physically the second strongest of the party, it's not too difficult
  919.  
  920. Yin:
  921. I guess we can skip to the airship then
  922. Hideo: (( In case I'm zoned out, someone ping me on Discord if I happen to not be paying attention when it comes time to introduce me ))
  923. Porsche: (( wait were we not -at- the airship then ))
  924. Yin: (( We are now, we're skipping there ))
  925. Yin: (( To keep confusion to a minimum ))
  926. Sylina: (( I had to yell at Thrice to keep this shit goddam straight ))
  927. Yin: (( just ignore Yin's line ))
  928. Yin: (( there was going to be an event when you got to town but it's just too much fucking effort now ))
  929. Yin: (( idc ))
  930. Sylina: (( well shit next time acknowledge my suggestion and say we're not doing it, and what we're doing instead (crs) ))
  931.  
  932. Yin:
  933. All right, so you've just finished talking to Fen fromt he airship's phone, and presumably know MT's character's name
  934. Sylina: (( Yin and Rei are there, right? ))
  935.  
  936. Yin:
  937. Yeah, but to make it not weird that they were completely silent, they were in the sick bay putting Rei to rest
  938.  
  939. Yin:
  940. and still are currently
  941. Sylina: (( aight ))
  942.  
  943. Sylina:
  944. "Well? She agreed to the exchange? She certainly didn't sound pleased about it." @ Porsche
  945.  
  946. Porsche:
  947. "Not at all, but it's happening anyway. At the very least, I should be free enough for just a scant few days to get something done if we really rush things. Still, the Matron did know of one other possible backup for us, but supposedly he's a little difficult to work with...."
  948.  
  949. Porsche:
  950. "The matron's guard is bringing their express package treatment with Ms. Exoskeleton, so her delivery shouldn't take too long at least."
  951. Healed up! Recovered 77 HP.
  952.  
  953. Sylina:
  954. "That's good..." Sylina nervously casts her eyes about the interior of the airship. "Say, Porsche - you were from the Chitin Clan, right?"
  955.  
  956. Sylina:
  957. 8 Percep
  958.  
  959. Sylina:
  960. dam
  961. Sylina: (( Looking for anything that they could be using to listen in ))
  962. Thrice:
  963. Sylina doesn't notice the pack of hyenas stationed in the top corner of the airshi[.
  964. Thrice:
  965. p
  966. Thrice:
  967. Nor does she notice much of anything else
  968.  
  969. Sylina:
  970. "Do you know how they were doing that thing where they could just... hear, everything?"
  971.  
  972. Yunao:
  973. "You're damn right she is."
  974.  
  975. Sylina:
  976. "It unnerves me talking about our plans, knowing they could be listening in at any moment."
  977.  
  978. Porsche:
  979. "Well, I was definitely born into the Chitin clan. Can't say I share much else beyond a blood connection and some bad childhood memories."
  980.  
  981. Porsche:
  982. "I'm uhm...hmm..." 4 maybe i would know something about that but idk
  983.  
  984. Sylina:
  985. prob not.
  986. Thrice:
  987. You ain't got a clue with a roll like that, what was that
  988. Thrice:
  989. It'd probably be a Mind check isntead of General Education for you
  990. Thrice:
  991. Since it's memories
  992. Porsche: (( well i wanted to roll knowledge but all of my knowledge skills are untrained ))
  993. Sylina: (( take the mind check ))
  994. 7
  995. Thrice:
  996. 3d6+mind value tirk
  997. Thrice:
  998. you can spend AP on these as well obviously
  999.  
  1000. Porsche:
  1001. well shit what do i have to lose there
  1002. Thrice:
  1003. fights can ahppen in the middle of scenes
  1004.  
  1005. Porsche:
  1006. Porsche uses 1 AP!
  1007. Sylina: (( I'm still not quite sure how spending AP on skill checks in non-combat situations works ))
  1008. Sylina: (( oh I guess ))
  1009. Thrice:
  1010. w-why are you at half AP
  1011.  
  1012. Porsche:
  1013. for some reason its defaulted to 3 AP even tho i have 6
  1014. Thrice:
  1015. also you only had 6 max AP
  1016. Thrice:
  1017. you should have 7 I fixed it
  1018.  
  1019. Porsche:
  1020. 9
  1021. Thrice:
  1022. unless you were in the token then maptool unfixedi t
  1023. Sylina: (( das still p bad ))
  1024. Thrice:
  1025. You can vaguely recall hearing about feuds in the Chitin clan concerning various members spying on others
  1026. Thrice:
  1027. Which certainly didn't help with the whole "clan war" thing
  1028.  
  1029. Porsche:
  1030. "Well I'm not sure how, but different families within the clan would often spy on each other with that ability. If I had to hazard a guess, they're probably utilizing differing fractured parts of animal functions to achieve this effect."
  1031.  
  1032. Porsche:
  1033. "You know that thing where a, if a flock of crows needs to memorize something, the entire flock will just know/regonize it? Even the crows that weren't actually there to see it?"
  1034.  
  1035. Porsche:
  1036. "I assume it's like that, also I think a flock of crows is actually referred to as a 'murder' and I honestly thing that's so hilariously fitting for this situation."
  1037.  
  1038. Sylina:
  1039. "A bit dark... but I suppose."
  1040.  
  1041. Sylina:
  1042. "So what are your plans for the next couple of days before the... well, reunion, I suppose?"
  1043.  
  1044. Yin:
  1045. Yin exits the door to the sick bay, "Hey, so, uh, Rei says she doesn't need a doctor, but I think maybe we oughta hurry up and get out of here to somewhere...more technologically advanced, you know? Your leader is not looking so good."
  1046.  
  1047. Porsche:
  1048. 'Well we're obviously short on time, but I should be able to at least assist you for uh...today and the next day, maybe."
  1049.  
  1050. Porsche:
  1051. "If we take Haroda's path I should even be able to help you out with the guardian spirit...but past there? Eeeh, it's a little hazy."
  1052.  
  1053. Sylina:
  1054. "You'll spend some time taking care of Rei, I hope... has she actually mentioned what's wrong with her, Yin?"
  1055.  
  1056. Yin:
  1057. "She won't say...and I'm no doctor. I can shove herbs in her face all day, but I have no idea if they're working."
  1058.  
  1059. Porsche:
  1060. "Ksss....I should look at her now. This doesn't seem like a good situation t be in."
  1061.  
  1062. Yin:
  1063. "What, are YOU a doctor?"
  1064.  
  1065. Sylina:
  1066. "Whether she wants one or not, we should go into town and see if we can find SOMEone who can help!"
  1067.  
  1068. Porsche:
  1069. "Not at all, but I should be able to gauge....ah nevermind, I'm just a little concerned is all. I'm not sure if there are any quality forms of health care around a village like this, but there should at least be -something-."
  1070. Yin: (( now there are two options, you can have Yunao stay here to guard Rei or leave Yin to do it ))
  1071.  
  1072. Porsche:
  1073. So should we actually carry Rei into the village or just get a professional to come over here i'm not sure how long that would take
  1074.  
  1075. Porsche:
  1076. i guess it shouldnt take that long then
  1077. Sylina: (( My vote is Yunao since Merge isn't here lol ))
  1078. Porsche: (( yea sure Yunao is the slightly older of the sassy children here he should be more responsible ))
  1079. Sylina: (( and also Yin might, technically still be an enemy? ))
  1080. Sylina: (( who knows what that girl's thinking ))
  1081.  
  1082. Yin:
  1083. "Go ahead, I'll stick around here and...guard the place?"
  1084.  
  1085. Yin:
  1086. she's the only intelligent member of the party
  1087.  
  1088. Yin:
  1089. so def not any of you
  1090. Sylina: (( ...so we're leaving both? ))
  1091.  
  1092. Yunao:
  1093. "No, I'll do it. I'd love some Shitin bastard to try and sneak in here."
  1094. Yunao: (( ur not ))
  1095. Sylina: (( m ))
  1096. Sylina: (( not enoough typos ))
  1097. Sylina: (( god ))
  1098. Sylina: (( damn it ))
  1099. Yin: (( (y) (hippo) (y) ))
  1100.  
  1101. Yin:
  1102. OH NO MY PLOT TO ASSASSINATE REI HAS FAILED I GUESS I MUST TAG ALONG WITH THESE MORONS LONGER
  1103.  
  1104. Yin:
  1105. "Whatever you say."
  1106.  
  1107. Sylina:
  1108. Sylina nods. "We shouldn't be long."
  1109.  
  1110. Yin:
  1111. And so you decide to head into town, presumably, to look for a potential doctor, and some guy no longer allowed to work on Metal Gear games
  1112.  
  1113. Porsche:
  1114. "So at the very least our supposed man for the job should be around this village somewhere....if he can't do it, then maybe he knows someone who can. He should be more familiar than i."
  1115.  
  1116. Heng:
  1117. How a Romanian and a Jap ended up with Chinese Noel Vermillion IDK
  1118.  
  1119. Sylina:
  1120. She looks adopted.
  1121. Healed up! Recovered 0 HP.
  1122. Healed up! Recovered 41 HP.
  1123. Healed up! Recovered 41 HP.
  1124.  
  1125. Sylina:
  1126. we head to Yakimura's to ask around about the description
  1127. Sylina:
  1128. Yakimomo
  1129. Sylina:
  1130. I was close
  1131. Sylina:
  1132. Or the name.
  1133. Sylina:
  1134. whichever we got
  1135. Sylina: (( I'm mapping back to Sanjoku if it matters ))
  1136. Healed up! Recovered 63 HP.
  1137. Sylina: (( it won't ))
  1138. Hideo: (( Nanomachines. ))
  1139. Sylina: (( those do probably exist ))
  1140.  
  1141. Porsche:
  1142. i at least know his name
  1143. Sylina: (( or wait, he ain't an el doctore is he ))
  1144. Sylina: (( I'll ask about the el doctore as well ))
  1145. Thrice:
  1146. Yeah sure head to Sanjoku
  1147.  
  1148. Yakimomo:
  1149. Yakimomo is in the middle of polishing glasses with a sombre expression when you YANK THE NONEXISTENT DOOR OFF ITS EQUALLY NONEXISTENT HINGES
  1150.  
  1151. Yakimomo:
  1152. Whether she or the glasses is sombre, you may never know
  1153. Hideo: (( brb ))
  1154.  
  1155. Yakimomo:
  1156. "Hmm--OH! You are back! I-I feared the worst...you never returned from the abbey, it's been three days! Are you okay? You didn't run into trouble, did you? There have been...such ominous rumours of late."
  1157.  
  1158. Sylina:
  1159. "We're fine, for the most part. Rei's condition has exacerbated... that's largely why we're here. Is there a local doctor you could point us towards?"
  1160.  
  1161. Yakimomo:
  1162. "Condition...? Did you get attacked?"
  1163.  
  1164. Alte:
  1165. **WHISPERING LOUDLY* "Oh, man, it's those guys again! Hah, they can't even see us from over there, they don't even know we're here!"
  1166.  
  1167. Theron:
  1168. can't hear me either
  1169. Hideo: (( back ))
  1170.  
  1171. Sylina:
  1172. "Yes and no. She thinks it's from the fight she had back in Nimae... her legs aren't functioning, even now, and her vision's been going blurry."
  1173. Porsche:
  1174. "While we're at it, we're also looking for this dude named Hideo. Not sure if he could help us or if he knows any doctors, but it'd be nice to see him anyway."
  1175.  
  1176. Porsche:
  1177. mrgrgr
  1178.  
  1179. Yakimomo:
  1180. "Wh-what...? But Rei was always so strong... She would never let her wounds bother her. Can you be certain she was not attacked more recently? They say there's a member of the Blackguard on the island, and they're working with the Chitin..."
  1181.  
  1182. Sylina:
  1183. Sylina's eyes dart back towards Alte, and briefly makes eye contact with her, groaning internally before being brought back to the conversation. "Wait, working WITH the Chitin?"
  1184.  
  1185. Porsche:
  1186. "I mean...she did get beat up by some kids recently, but I doubt any of them are capable of THAT...sounds like some funny business is going on..."
  1187.  
  1188. Sylina:
  1189. "The Blackguard member IS here, I can confirm that much."
  1190.  
  1191. Sylina:
  1192. "How much of their rank is out roaming the world right now...? I suppose it's possible that it's the same one who attacked Rei before..."
  1193.  
  1194. Alte:
  1195. Alte smiles at you, wondering if that grimace means you're in pain
  1196.  
  1197. Yakimomo:
  1198. "Y-you know? Did you meet them?! The blue masked man?! Don't tell me you fought him off...?"
  1199.  
  1200. Sylina:
  1201. "He wasn't masked. He identified himself as Wei - we DID fight, though it was more of a spar. Child's play, to him... and I was fighting with everything I had."
  1202.  
  1203. Yakimomo:
  1204. "Wei...that sounds familiar for some reason...Hmm...but all reports of this person have included the mask. He did have blue hair, though? Could be the same... Oh! That reminds me, you mentioned another name earlier? You werel ooking for a doctor?"
  1205.  
  1206. Sylina:
  1207. 13 god damn it, did he
  1208.  
  1209. Sylina:
  1210. I don't THINK he did
  1211.  
  1212. Sylina:
  1213. what color was his fuckin lapel pin you gonna quiz me on that next
  1214. Sylina: (( oh no it was redbrown ))
  1215.  
  1216. Yakimomo:
  1217. he had red hair
  1218.  
  1219. Yakimomo:
  1220. reddish
  1221. Thrice:
  1222. I mean his literal name when he first showed up was "Red-Haired Man"
  1223.  
  1224. Sylina:
  1225. "No, red. So there IS another..."
  1226. Sylina: (( hey. ))
  1227. Sylina: (( hey. ))
  1228. Sylina: (( Whatever. ))
  1229.  
  1230. Alte:
  1231. "Whoa, there's another one...? This is bad..."
  1232. Sylina: (( I'll let u take the doctor thing Tirk ))
  1233. Sylina: (( I should bathroom ))
  1234.  
  1235. Theron:
  1236. Theron shrugs, then realizes you might not have been able to see it, and as such throws a paper airplane around the corner at Sylina, which plops into her hair
  1237.  
  1238. Porsche:
  1239. "Yea, we were. We could wax on about who caused it in the first place, but right now we need some medical help, and fast."
  1240.  
  1241. Theron:
  1242. it says "*shrug*"
  1243.  
  1244. Porsche:
  1245. "Rei's condition hasn't been looking all too hot lately."
  1246.  
  1247. Theron:
  1248. a considerate man he is
  1249.  
  1250. Porsche:
  1251. whoops
  1252.  
  1253. Yakimomo:
  1254. ?
  1255.  
  1256. Porsche:
  1257. (DOG): Walk me or I shall wring u thru the seven depths of hell
  1258.  
  1259. Yakimomo:
  1260. ah
  1261.  
  1262. Yakimomo:
  1263. aight
  1264.  
  1265. Porsche:
  1266. (DOG): Or just shit on your router again either would work
  1267.  
  1268. Yakimomo:
  1269. go ahead and walk him
  1270.  
  1271. Yakimomo:
  1272. "Ah...you said as such, didn't you... There are many doctors in Yuda, in the underground. We are a capital city, after all!"
  1273.  
  1274. Yakimomo:
  1275. "As for a man named Hideo...there are a few. Do you know what he looks like?"
  1276.  
  1277. Yunao:
  1278. idk isn't it in the name
  1279.  
  1280. Yunao:
  1281. hideous
  1282.  
  1283. Sylina:
  1284. She jolts from the sudden contact, looks down at the airplane, grinds her teeth and crumples it up before throwing it back at the target. 20 Athletics? I dunno. "Hey! If you want in on the conversation, introduce yourself like a normal person!"
  1285.  
  1286. Theron:
  1287. >like a normal person
  1288.  
  1289. Theron:
  1290. tactful
  1291.  
  1292. Sylina:
  1293. for all I know you're just a jackass
  1294. 23
  1295.  
  1296. Theron:
  1297. Theron catches the airplane and unfolds it, disappointed there's nothing new written on it
  1298.  
  1299. Alte:
  1300. "'Normal person'. Ouch man, that's harsh. You gonna take that?"
  1301.  
  1302. Theron:
  1303. He just shrugs again, and starts folding a paper Fat Man full of glitter
  1304.  
  1305. Yin:
  1306. "...hey, are you flirting with Headphone Guy again?"
  1307.  
  1308. Sylina:
  1309. "If that ends up anywhere near my hair, you aren't going to like what happens next!"
  1310.  
  1311. Sylina:
  1312. "Again? Explain to me when, exactly I did it the first time, so I can know how to avoid it in the future."
  1313.  
  1314. Yin:
  1315. "I'm pretty sure that's what flirting is, right? Mutual expressions of hatred?"
  1316.  
  1317. Sylina:
  1318. "I'd like to think not."
  1319.  
  1320. Sylina:
  1321. "But, now that you've forced the interaction..."
  1322.  
  1323. Sylina:
  1324. "Excuse me." @ Porsche/Yankeedoodle
  1325.  
  1326. Sylina:
  1327. "So, how goes looking for an airship back home?"
  1328.  
  1329. Theron:
  1330. Porsche...?
  1331.  
  1332. Sylina:
  1333. yeh I removed myself from that conversation over there
  1334.  
  1335. Alte:
  1336. OH, okay
  1337.  
  1338. Theron:
  1339. Theron slowly puts the Fat Man back in his backpack
  1340.  
  1341. Theron:
  1342. but now you know it's there
  1343.  
  1344. Sylina:
  1345. I do
  1346.  
  1347. Alte:
  1348. "Badly. Barely anybody's coming in because of all the rumours."?
  1349.  
  1350. Alte:
  1351. -?
  1352.  
  1353. Alte:
  1354. "The Chitin Clan, a member of the Blackguard working WITH THEM, and now, apparently, another Blackguard? There's no way anyone in their right mind would come here!"
  1355.  
  1356. Theron:
  1357. Theron looks at you like 'so what does that say about us'
  1358.  
  1359. Sylina:
  1360. "You WERE warned."
  1361.  
  1362. Sylina:
  1363. "Though we didn't know about the Blackguard member..."
  1364.  
  1365. Alte:
  1366. "We're a special case, Theron! Like we have to be afraid of any rumours."
  1367.  
  1368. Yin:
  1369. "Special case indeed..."
  1370.  
  1371. Sylina:
  1372. "...look, let's just skip to the inevitable. We all know you're just going to end up tagging along on our airship again - but actually, that could be of help to us this time."
  1373.  
  1374. Alte:
  1375. "Oh yeah? Sweet! That mean this one's free?"
  1376.  
  1377. Theron:
  1378. why do you even give a shit it's my money
  1379.  
  1380. Sylina:
  1381. "Rei's come down with something awful, and we could use someone capable watching over her while we complete our mission here in Yuda."
  1382.  
  1383. Sylina:
  1384. "Think of it as a mutual favor."
  1385. 22 31
  1386. 23
  1387.  
  1388. Theron:
  1389. Theron scribbles on his notepad, 'And you want us to babysit your boss?'
  1390.  
  1391. Sylina:
  1392. @Alte "Should I be writing this down, or can he actually hear me?"
  1393.  
  1394. Alte:
  1395. Alte thinks for a minute, frowning, "I gueessss that could work? Is that really an even trade?" You can tell she doesn't really mean the frown tho, she's pretty happy bout it
  1396.  
  1397. Alte:
  1398. "He can hear you just fine, he's got hearing aids, I think. Just can't speak."
  1399.  
  1400. Theron:
  1401. He stares at you for a solid minute
  1402.  
  1403. Theron:
  1404. Then points to his headphones
  1405.  
  1406. Theron:
  1407. And holds up a piece of paper saying "IF I COULDN'T FUCKING HEAR I WOULDN'T BE WEARING THESE NOW WOULD I"
  1408.  
  1409. Theron:
  1410. in cursive
  1411.  
  1412. Sylina:
  1413. I DUNNO YOU MIGHT
  1414.  
  1415. Theron:
  1416. "WHAT DO YOU THINK THESE ARE"
  1417.  
  1418. Theron:
  1419. "EARMUFFS"
  1420.  
  1421. Theron:
  1422. "DEVICES TO KEEP THE ALIENS FROM PROBING MY BRAIN"
  1423.  
  1424. Sylina:
  1425. "I thought that's why you put the music up so loud in the first place! You being practically deaf was the only explanation I could come up with!"
  1426.  
  1427. Theron:
  1428. "FASHION STATEMENTS"
  1429.  
  1430. Sylina:
  1431. "If nothing else, you SHOULD be deaf!"
  1432.  
  1433. Theron:
  1434. "DID YOU THINK SOMEONE PUT THESE ON THERE AS A JOKE AND I JUST NEVER NOTICED"
  1435.  
  1436. Theron:
  1437. "BECAUSE I COULDN'T HEAR"
  1438.  
  1439. Porsche:
  1440. ok im back from dogs
  1441.  
  1442. Porsche:
  1443. what i miss
  1444.  
  1445. Theron:
  1446. agi asked if the guy listening to music could hear
  1447.  
  1448. Sylina:
  1449. I left the plot and went to talk to plorf
  1450.  
  1451. Porsche:
  1452. So DID we get a physical description for Kojima
  1453.  
  1454. Theron:
  1455. 'i just like loud music and it annoys people near me'
  1456.  
  1457. Theron:
  1458. 'sometimes people far away from me'
  1459.  
  1460. Theron:
  1461. You did
  1462.  
  1463. Sylina:
  1464. "...but yes, in simple terms. Only for the few days it should take to make our raid on the stronghold."
  1465.  
  1466. Alte:
  1467. "Weeeeelll, it's kind of a downer, but sure. We can at least make sure she stays okay."
  1468.  
  1469. Alte:
  1470. "Is it still docked in the smae place?"
  1471.  
  1472. Sylina:
  1473. "Of course."
  1474.  
  1475. Porsche:
  1476. "Yea, he looks kinda like an old scruffy fellow with (other defining features). You wouldn't happen to know, would you?"
  1477.  
  1478. Rei:
  1479. k i l l m e
  1480.  
  1481. Sylina:
  1482. you love them
  1483.  
  1484. Alte:
  1485. "All right then...uh, guess we'd better go now, huh?"
  1486.  
  1487. Theron:
  1488. 'Sure. Hey, dragon girl, can you fight or is that stick thing a baton?'
  1489.  
  1490. Sylina:
  1491. "Don't worry, you can take your time. We have Yunao watching over her right now."
  1492.  
  1493. Yakimomo:
  1494. "Oh, hm. I think I have heard of him...but what would you want with him? Are you looking for a meal...?"
  1495.  
  1496. Sylina:
  1497. "...my LANCE is not a baton, boy. I've seen more battles than you've seen faces twisted in annoyance.""
  1498.  
  1499. Theron:
  1500. 'But not more than I've seen battles.'
  1501.  
  1502. Sylina:
  1503. "I'd need to check your math."
  1504.  
  1505. Porsche:
  1506. "Well, it has been a pretty long morning, so that'd be appreciated, yes. But most of all we're looking for him because our superior told us he's our only backup around, and I might be busy for a little taking care of some....special business."
  1507.  
  1508. Alte:
  1509. "All right, no showing off! Can't have you two getting frisky in here..."
  1510.  
  1511. Alte:
  1512. "And we've got an invalid to watch!"
  1513.  
  1514. Yakimomo:
  1515. "B-backup? If you say so... Um, it feels in bad taste to give his location out to those who are only strangers to him, but I will trust you..."
  1516.  
  1517. Yakimomo:
  1518. She gives you directions to the guy's house, which is underground, as with most housi and businessi in Sanjoku
  1519.  
  1520. Sylina:
  1521. "I defend the city of Nimae with an... UNFORGIVABLY small amount of support, and nearly take a member of the Blackguard to his knees, and you DARE question if I can fight? If YOU'VE seen so much combat, where were YOU when the Chitin Clan invaded?"
  1522.  
  1523. Theron:
  1524. He raises an eyebrow at you, but ultimate writes nothing
  1525.  
  1526. Alte:
  1527. "We were looking for...Zack? I think that's his name. Our pilot guy, remembeR? He ditched us!"
  1528.  
  1529. Alte:
  1530. "I do feel kinda bad, though...had we known we might have been able to drive that crazy lady off."
  1531.  
  1532. Porsche:
  1533. Porsche looks at the papers for a bit and nods. "It's all right, I don't expect this to be an easy recruitment by any means, but it's worth a shot to increase our chances of success during these hard times."
  1534.  
  1535. Porsche:
  1536. "Now what are you fooling around with this time, Sylina?"
  1537.  
  1538. Yin:
  1539. "Girl's bad with names, ain't she?"
  1540.  
  1541. Yakimomo:
  1542. Yakimomo looks down all wondrouslike, "I-is food truly of that much importance in battle...M-maybe I should pay more heed to my menu..."
  1543.  
  1544. Sylina:
  1545. "Just these two again... they've agreed to help watch over Rei in exchange for another ride. Airships have been avoiding this town like the plague, apparently..."
  1546.  
  1547. Sylina:
  1548. "...that pilot of yours, Zack. You say he ditched you - could he just not find you, or was his airshp simply missing?"
  1549.  
  1550. Sylina:
  1551. er
  1552.  
  1553. Sylina:
  1554. *could you just not find him
  1555.  
  1556. Alte:
  1557. "Well, the first place we looked when he didn't show was "
  1558.  
  1559. Alte:
  1560. the airport, of course!"
  1561.  
  1562. Porsche:
  1563. "Good to know! Well about the former at least. Seems this place is only getting hazier by the minute. Let's hope we can put things straight soon."
  1564.  
  1565. Alte:
  1566. "...wait, the THIRD? Fourth? Uh, We checked a couple restaurants firts."
  1567.  
  1568. Alte:
  1569. first
  1570. 16 22
  1571.  
  1572. Alte:
  1573. "Thought maybe he'd got the wrong one, yeah?"
  1574.  
  1575. Sylina:
  1576. "Right..."
  1577.  
  1578. Alte:
  1579. "But no, the airship was nowhere. He must've left for some reason. He always was kind of a coward...maybe he took off when he heard about the Chitin."
  1580.  
  1581. Alte:
  1582. "And just thought it'd be best to not tell us! Seriously, what a prick."
  1583.  
  1584. Sylina:
  1585. "Or maybe..."
  1586. Sylina: (( I mean like ))
  1587. Sylina: (( MAYBE they took him ))
  1588. Sylina: (( And the airship, I would ))
  1589.  
  1590. Sylina:
  1591. "Is he the type of person who you'd EXPECT to do that?"
  1592.  
  1593. Alte:
  1594. "WEEEEELLLL....he was kinda flaky..."
  1595.  
  1596. Alte:
  1597. I mean he didn't even show up to the restaurant
  1598.  
  1599. Alte:
  1600. "But, I don't know...."
  1601. 23
  1602.  
  1603. Yin:
  1604. "Hhmm....seems fishy to me...But right now, we have bigger issues, right?"
  1605.  
  1606. Sylina:
  1607. "We do, admittedly, but it's been bothering me, wondering how the Chitin Clan were able to transport their victims all this distance, so quickly... it's possible they stole your friend's airship."
  1608.  
  1609. Yin:
  1610. "Or maybe they have their own airship? Like, a really fast one?"
  1611.  
  1612. Yin:
  1613. "...or maybe they just use birdpeople..."
  1614.  
  1615. Sylina:
  1616. silly Yin
  1617.  
  1618. Sylina:
  1619. birds aren't bugs
  1620.  
  1621. Alte:
  1622. "E-eh...I hadn't thought of that...It'd explain why he hasn't contacted us or answered our calls! But...What does that mean, exactly? That...they've got Zack, too?"
  1623.  
  1624. Sylina:
  1625. "They WERE looking for people to experiment on..."
  1626.  
  1627. Theron:
  1628. Theron scribbles a ton on his notepad, 'Think they kidnapped our pilot? I doubt it. But if they did, I'd think we should go with you, instead of watching your ship.'
  1629.  
  1630. Alte:
  1631. "...well..."
  1632.  
  1633. Alte:
  1634. "We don't want them to take THEIR ship."
  1635. Sylina: (( I'm slightly concerned about bringing too many people to the fight. ))
  1636.  
  1637. Sylina:
  1638. "Porsche will already be staying behind - if one of you wants to come with us, I won't object to the extra help."
  1639.  
  1640. Sylina:
  1641. "If they DO come to attempt to steal our ship, having one of you present would help to deter them."
  1642.  
  1643. Alte:
  1644. "Maybe, but...Well, I guess I can go with you, and Theron can guard the ship? Trust me, he's pretty capable!"
  1645.  
  1646. Theron:
  1647. 'Yeah sure you just stay right here I'll get right on that.' He rises from his seat, and starts heading toward the door, 'Same place?'
  1648.  
  1649. Sylina:
  1650. "Same place."
  1651.  
  1652. Porsche:
  1653. "Well I guess more members of our small army wouldn't hurt. Now, if you don't mind, I'm just gonna go ahead and try and look for our man of the hour."
  1654.  
  1655. Sylina:
  1656. ye let's get to MT
  1657.  
  1658. Sylina:
  1659. if he's here
  1660.

  1872. Porsche: (( it sure looks like a mall ))
  1873.  
  1874. Sylina:
  1875. unless it's just brighter than the sun
  1876. Porsche: (( why does the underground look exactly like a mall ))
  1877.  
  1878. Sylina:
  1879. it looks like inside, modern
  1880. Yin: (( that's what underground cities are ))
  1881. Yin: (( they look like indoors ))
  1882. Yin: (( bc they're indoors ))
  1883. Yin: (( you build shit around the rock ))
  1884.  
  1885. Sylina:

  1890.  
  1891. Porsche:

  1917. "Just one of the risks you gotta take I guess..."
  1918. Yin: (( it's like that. ))
  1919. Porsche: (( yea but those are actually made with modern developmental techniques and shit ))
  1920. Yin: (( as is this one ))
  1921. Porsche: (( by all accounts Sanjoku is just ancient japan ))
  1922. Sylina: (( the concerning thing is the implication that EVERYONE WHO HAS TO GO UNDERGROUND has to walk through this guy's house. ))
  1923. Yin: (( the ABOVEGROUND part is ))

  1925. Porsche:
  1926. Deman: It's a living
  1927. Yin: (( they don't you just chose to ))

  1929. Sylina: (( But we're the most technologically advanced society or something ))
  1930. Porsche: (( WELL I FEEL LIKE THAT'S A PRETTY MAJOR THING TO LEAVE OUT at least in terms of setting the scene ))
  1931. Yin: (( The scene, aboveground, is ancient japan ))
  1932. Yin: (( there is no modernitis there ))
  1933. Yin: (( it is only belowground ))
  1934. Yin: (( and people did mention it ))
  1935. Porsche: (( I was under the impression this whole place was literally just old japan ))
  1936. Yin: (( they don't defile the land above ground ))
  1937. Porsche: (( but enough talk ))

  1939. Yin: (( You've never been here ))
  1940. Yin: (( and u didn't read the brochure ))
  1941. Yin: (( so that's an easy enough assumption to make ))
  1942. Yin: (( But yeah, you can follow the directions to Mt's place pretty simply ))
  1943.  
  1944. Sylina:
  1945. we do so
  1946. Yin: (( cool ))
  1947. Yin: (( I ain't in charge here no more kids ))
  1948.  
  1949. Porsche:
  1950. "This place is bigger than I expecte....well, I'm not sure how big I expected this place to be in the first place, but travelling through here sure takes it out of you. Hopefully we can eat something soon, all these restaurants around me have been taunting me like the worst of succubi." Are we there yet

  2163.  
  2164. Porsche:
  2165. "I mean, it's not uncommon for restaurant owners to have their housing situated above their restaurant, so I'm gonna guess he's a big time worker here."
  2166.  
  2167. Sylina:
  2168. "Look, it was that or the armor, and I really didn't feel like explaining it. We have enough to go over."
  2169.  
  2170. Yin:
  2171. we're looking for a soldier right
  2172.  
  2173. Yin:
  2174. he's probably the one carrying the giant fucking sword
  2175. Hideo: (( I have like six swords. Per tirk's request. ))
  2176.  
  2177. Yin:
  2178. even better
  2179.  
  2180. Yin:
  2181. SOMEONE is gonna have to be fuckin proactive here and it ain't gonna be me
  2182.  
  2183. Yin:
  2184. one of you sons of bitches phatcat the fuck up
  2185. Sylina: (( Tirk already went around asking for Hideo ))
  2186.  
  2187. Hideo:
  2188. The old man behind the counter sighs loudly before pushing open the door behind the counter. He steps out and confronts the loud troublemakers, "You three gonna order anything, or are you just gonna harass my customers...?"
  2189.  
  2190. Sylina:
  2191. "Ah! Your customers? Would that make you the owner of this restaurant"?
  2192.  
  2193. Porsche:
  2194. "Sure, I'd be right happy to. Right as soon as we find this Hideo fellow. You wouldn't happen to know him, would you? We've come too dang far for this."
  2195.  
  2196. Hideo:
  2197. "Yer damn right it does, and I don't appreciate you barking 'Where's Hideo?' at my paying customers." The old man sighs once more and shakes his head to the side, "Anyone who comes down here is either looking for food or -some- sort of trouble, so what the hell do you want?"
  2198.  
  2199. Sylina:
  2200. dats a gewd querstin
  2201. Sylina: (( Remind me, it was Fen who gave the name, right? ))
  2202. Sylina: (( do we recall what she specifically reccommended him for? ))
  2203. Hideo: (( Is Fen DA BAWSS? ))
  2204. Sylina: (( Rei is the boss ))
  2205. Sylina: (( Fen is like ))
  2206. Sylina: (( the queen ))
  2207. Sylina: (( kind of ))
  2208. Sylina: (( Nimae's the capital of whereverthehell right ))
  2209. Yin: (( the queen of the next continent over ))
  2210. Hideo: (( Who's the one who's missing their kiddo? ))
  2211. Yin: (( Nimae is the continent of Veer ))
  2212. Yin: (( you are on the continent of Yuda ))
  2213. Sylina: (( That's Haroda, the shrine... tender? ))
  2214. Yin: (( nimae is the capital of Veer ))
  2215. Sylina: (( not guardian ))
  2216. Sylina: (( He's in charge of the local abbey ))
  2217. Hideo: (( So who sent them to find me? o3o ))
  2218. Yin: (( he's the head nun ))
  2219. Yin: (( Fen did ))
  2220. Sylina: (( Fen, I think. ))
  2221. Sylina: (( I do not recall what for, it was Tirk's conversation ))
  2222. Porsche: (( Fen is the one missing her kid ))
  2223. Yin: (( so naturally, nobody remembers ))
  2224. Porsche: (( and also recommended u ))
  2225. Sylina: (( okay, they were both missing kids. ))
  2226. Porsche: (( somehow I remembered something and not thrice/agi ))
  2227. Hideo: (( Now how do Iiiiii know Fenfen (HMM) ))
  2228. Sylina: (( Fen's kid is less "kid" ))
  2229. Sylina: (( and more "son" ))
  2230. Sylina: (( And even more "second in command of Nimae" ))
  2231. Sylina: (( Haroda is actually missing one of the children from the recent attack on the abbey ))
  2232. Yin: (( I ain't sayin shit in regards to things you should know ))
  2233.  
  2234. Porsche:
  2235. "Well, I guess some food would be nice, I'm just about almost dead here. And I guess we are looking for trouble, if you use a really loose definition of it. We're here to pick you up to deal with a pretty serious situation by Lady Fen's request."
  2236. Yin: (( unless of course you not remembering it would be catastrophic or it should be common sense ))
  2237.  
  2238. Porsche:
  2239. "You should know who that is, right? She had a passing knowledge of you at the very least."
  2240. Unknown command: "oo In terms of how you know Fen, she's the queen of the neighbouring country(the Korea place), you might have served for her or she may just know of you as a soldier". Try /help for a list of commands.
  2241.  
  2242. Sylina:
  2243. "By any definition, this should be considered trouble..."
  2244. Yin: (( Veer however is very, very rarely involved in any combat ))
  2245. Yin: (( the chitin invasion was p much the first hostility they'd seen in a long long time ))
  2246. Hideo: (( Well would it be common knowledge for me to know who Fen is personally? o3o ))
  2247. Yin: (( Probably yeah ))
  2248. Sylina: (( Even if you didn't have direct experience with her ))
  2249. Sylina: (( You probably know who she is ))
  2250. Hideo: (( Well I assume I have direct knowledge of her if she told you to find me specifically ))
  2251. Sylina: (( you know who the Emperor of China is don't yo- actually well I guess you don't. I don't. You might. ))
  2252. Sylina: (( Maybe I should. ))
  2253. Yin: (( you don't know who the president of MEXICO is agi ))
  2254. Yin: (( china... ))
  2255. Yin: (( china has not had an emperor in over half a century agi ))
  2256. Sylina: (( A) fuck u B)POINT IS YOU DON'T KNOW WHO THEIR SUPREME LEADER IS EITHER ))
  2257. Yin: (( the PRESIDENT of China is Jinping ))
  2258. Hideo: (( guiz, plz ))
  2259. Yin: (( You know her obviously ))
  2260. Sylina: (( don't worry this is healthy ))
  2261. Sylina: (( It's your line ))
  2262. Hideo: (( Well I guess I'll take this HOWEVER I DAMN PLEASE ))
  2263. Yin: (( perhaps not on like, a personal level, but either you're famous enough for her to single out or you've dealt with her in the past - she does hire mercenaries to do things like clear out some of the woods or such ))
  2264. Yin: (( So she might have hired you in the past ))
  2265. Yin: (( or to defend the city from monsters, those exist ))
  2266. Yin: (( and can get through the forest since they LIVE in the forest ))
  2267.  
  2268. Hideo:
  2269. Hideo appears plainly annoyed at this, "The hell does that damned harpy want now?"
  2270.  
  2271. Hideo:
  2272. "She should know damn well I'm not a sellsword anymore."
  2273.  
  2274. Fen:
  2275. At least he's more respectful than Porsche.
  2276.  
  2277. Sylina:
  2278. "ExCUSE me?"
  2279.  
  2280. Heng:
  2281. "Daaad, are you talking shit about mom again?"
  2282.  
  2283. Sylina:
  2284. "While I'll respect your choice to put down your sword, I question the tone you use in reference to Lady Fen."
  2285.  
  2286. Porsche:
  2287. "It's a pretty long story all things considered. Our residential harpy has had her boy kidnapped by Chitin goons...." Porsche get a little weak in the legs. "Actually, I think I'll go ahead an' order now, I need some gosh darn energy to keep going on like this."
  2288.  
  2289. Hideo:
  2290. "This has nothing to do with your mother, Heng!" He turns his attention back to Sylina, "A right lady, eh? You must be new to this...my condolences."
  2291. Hideo: (( What a weird name, Heng... ))
  2292.  
  2293. Sylina:
  2294. she hung
  2295. Heng: (( it's a chinese name ))
  2296. Porsche: (( heng like a herse ))
  2297. Heng: (( heng from the ceiling ))
  2298. Porsche: (( heng meilang ))
  2299.  
  2300. Fen:
  2301. To be fair he's not entirely inaccurate
  2302.  
  2303. Fen:
  2304. she smothered you to death with opium fumes when you first met her.
  2305. Sylina: (( I recall that. ))
  2306.  
  2307. Sylina:
  2308. "Hardly 'new,' I simply see value in maintaining a certain level of respect. But yes, to get to the root of the matter, I'm sure you've heard the rumors about Chitin activity circling about? The Matron's son is among the captives, and... long story short, we're looking to stage a rescue mission."
  2309.  
  2310. Porsche:
  2311. "Let me just check your menu real quick....anyway, who knows what kind of ramifications turning the son of a major world leader into a mindless experimental animal zombie could have on international affairs."
  2312.  
  2313. Sylina:
  2314. "You're a skilled man, I hear, and there's any number of ways you could help us out, should you choose to do so..."
  2315.  
  2316. Hideo:
  2317. "How unfortunate for her. I'll gladly feed you, assuming you can pay the bill. That's about the full extent of my services though."
  2318.  
  2319. Yin:
  2320. "Look, jackass, we're trying to rescue the...low patron of Nimae! The second most important person in a whole damn COUNTRY! And a little kid, too!"
  2321.  
  2322. Porsche:
  2323. "That's no way to treat an old war buddy, Hideo...just kidding, I've only met you today. You're free to do what you want, but keep in mind, the reason why we had to go all the way out here to ask is because we're in desperate need of someone of your calibur to make this mission in a timely fashion, as we've unfortunately hit a little...snag."
  2324.  
  2325. Sylina:
  2326. Sylina nods. "There's quite a lot at stake here."
  2327.  
  2328. Sylina:
  2329. "We're going to be pushing through the Shinda Shrine to save time, despite the risks."
  2330.  
  2331. Hideo:
  2332. "Heh, guess that harpy must be in quite the bind if she's desperate enough to try and drag this old man back into it..." Hideo shakes his head as if to clear it, "But still, you have to understand that I have very little to gain from such a request..."
  2333.  
  2334. Sylina:
  2335. "We hope to pacify the goddess - personally, I hoped you'd be interested in helping prepare the offering."
  2336.  
  2337. Hideo:
  2338. "Like I said...if you've got the coin, I'll make food."
  2339.  
  2340. Yin:
  2341. "You could get a LOT of coin from helping us, you know?"
  2342.  
  2343. Yin:
  2344. "That old lady is loaded."
  2345.  
  2346. Yin:
  2347. "Uhhh...let's put this in terms you understand, like, baked potato loaded!"
  2348.  
  2349. Yin:
  2350. Porsche: **audibly drools*
  2351.  
  2352. Porsche:
  2353. "Also i guess I'll have the Spicy (Whatever this worlds equivalent of Pork is) Dumplings, I haven't had something like that in too long....*ahem* but yeah the sassy child is right. I myself fully intend on starting a better life for me and (what remains of) my family as soon as I get the prize money from this mess."
  2354.  
  2355. Hideo:
  2356. "I'm well aware of that witch's ways. Being a sellsword's all good and fun until you get stiffed on the payment and left to lick your wounds."
  2357.  
  2358. Heng:
  2359. "...do I gotta make this chick's food? She looks like she's MADE of dumplings, does she REALLY need any more?"
  2360.  
  2361. Sylina:
  2362. "We were paid up front for our defense of Nimae."
  2363.  
  2364. Hideo:
  2365. Hideo laughs, "Well that's a change of pace. Guess word got out that the witch wasn't paying for her dirty work."
  2366.  
  2367. Yin:
  2368. "I'm pretty sure she'd pay us if we rescue her SON!"
  2369.  
  2370. Yin:
  2371. "Rei's pretty confident about it, anyway..."
  2372.  
  2373. Porsche:
  2374. "And let me tell you, I've been there, it sucks. If this mission ends up costing us more than the payment itself, I'll be right there with you protesting the cold exploitation of workers like that. But I feel like this is a situation I wouldn't be able to forgive myself for if we failed."
  2375.  
  2376. Sylina:
  2377. "She didn't strike me as a dishonest person... a difficult person, but one who could be counted on to do the right thing when it counted."
  2378.  
  2379. Hideo:
  2380. "I'm just tellin' you off of experience, girl." He turns his attention to Heng, "Go ahead and get the order ready for that one." He turns back to Sylina, "I'm not an unreasonable man, but this is a situation where you're asking for a might lot of me..."
  2381.  
  2382. Heng:
  2383. Heng ferries herself back to the kitchen to make pork for Porksche
  2384.  
  2385. Yin:
  2386. "Oh, and it's any less for us? There's a kid younger than me who's going! For NOTHING! Heck, he's already in enemy territory by now..."
  2387.  
  2388. Sylina:
  2389. "At the very least, could you help with the offering?" Sylina's getting flustered. "We need everything in our favor that we CAN to get through that deathtrap!"
  2390.  
  2391. Sylina:
  2392. "You'd think that reconciling with the goddess would be motivation enough!"
  2393.  
  2394. Hideo:
  2395. Hideo exhales, "Maybe if you keep your friend's mouth shut, I'll consider it. She seems to think I have some sort of obligation."
  2396.  
  2397. Yin:
  2398. "Ah-ha! That's where you're mistaken! I have no friends!"
  2399.  
  2400. Yin:
  2401. "These guys still consider me an enemy, pretty sure."
  2402.  
  2403. Sylina:
  2404. "I don't think Porsche was ever capable of thinking of you as an enemy."
  2405.  
  2406. Sylina:
  2407. "I hold only a mild resentment for the brand."
  2408.  
  2409. Hideo:
  2410. "Well then, I suppose we should talk business."
  2411.  
  2412. Porsche:
  2413. "All right sir, just keep it in mind that if we can succeed in this mission, we'll have successfully averted a catastrophe that could very well effect the state of your well being here."
  2414.  
  2415. Sylina:
  2416. "I wish our leader was here to negotiate..."
  2417.  
  2418. Porsche:
  2419. "Ships and travellers are already starting to cut all ties to this place as a result of mere rumors and hearsay. I can only imagine what would happen if any of those were to come objectively true..."
  2420.  
  2421. Yin:
  2422. "I don't think Rei's getting up for a while...though, that kind of makes this guy better, right?? He's old, he's got experience! He could help us out in the field!"
  2423.  
  2424. Sylina:
  2425. "He's barely interested in lifting a finger to help - you expect him to take on a leadership role?"
  2426.  
  2427. Yin:
  2428. "Hey, you left Mr. Headphones in charge of taking care of our ACTUAL leader."
  2429.  
  2430. Yin:
  2431. "I'm not sure we'll be able to tolerate her once she gets better."
  2432.  
  2433. Sylina:
  2434. "That was BEFORE he let off that... accursed glitter bomb."
  2435.  
  2436. Yin:
  2437. "But AFTER he'd demonstrated that he's kind of an asshole in every imaginable way."
  2438.  
  2439. Hideo:
  2440. Hideo rubs his forehead, "Ugh...what am I getting myself involved in...?"
  2441.  
  2442. Sylina:
  2443. "It's better having him there than on the mission!"
  2444.  
  2445. Yin:
  2446. "Okay, every imaginable way except glitter bombs."
  2447.  
  2448. Porsche:
  2449. "Still, it's your choice in the end. This meeting is nothing more than a last resort on our ends, as we ended up becomign unexpectedly spread thin. All we need is the legend to come back to life, just this once."
  2450.  
  2451. Heng:
  2452. You hear a shout from inside the kitchen, "TELL CHUNKY HER FOOD'S READY!"
  2453.  
  2454. Heng:
  2455. "DO THEY HAVE A TABLE YET?"
  2456.  
  2457. Porsche:
  2458. "Oooooooo! Just hand me it over, I'll sit myself down." Porsche stops being all serious for a moment and prepares to mandhandle foodstufss
  2459.  
  2460. Sylina:
  2461. "We can pool together our resources to get you a payment up front."
  2462.  
  2463. Sylina:
  2464. "...partial payment."
  2465.  
  2466. Sylina:
  2467. "I doubt what we can provide would cover the risks."
  2468.  
  2469. Hideo:
  2470. "...take a seat, this needs to be discussed -away- from the damn doorway of my restaurant..."
  2471.  
  2472. Heng:
  2473. Heng walks out to hand you the plate of food just in time for you to have walked to your table
  2474.  
  2475. Sylina:
  2476. c'est table
  2477.  
  2478. Heng:
  2479. "UUUUGGGGHHHH, do I really have to waitress thi--oh, fine..."
  2480.  
  2481. Heng:
  2482. MT went over here
  2483.  
  2484. Heng:
  2485. for the record
  2486.  
  2487. Sylina:
  2488. oh
  2489.  
  2490. Hideo:
  2491. "Keep up the attitude missy and I'll have you work late." He turns back to the others, "It's not much of a threat to send your employee home early when they live above the place..."
  2492.  
  2493. Sylina:
  2494. I'll just assume there's two chairs per side
  2495.  
  2496. Sylina:
  2497. tho I guess two smols could fit on one
  2498.  
  2499. Porsche:
  2500. how awkward
  2501.  
  2502. Sylina:
  2503. and Porsche just shoves the table up her ass
  2504.  
  2505. Sylina:
  2506. *chair
  2507.  
  2508. Sylina:
  2509. same thing
  2510. Hideo: (( Rude. ))
  2511.  
  2512. Sylina:
  2513. "Well, you have experience dealing with kids. That's a good trait for our group."
  2514.  
  2515. Heng:
  2516. "Oh I'm here until I die, anyway."
  2517.  
  2518. Sylina:
  2519. aren't we all
  2520.  
  2521. Porsche:
  2522. "*OM NOM NOM* Holy SHOOT this is some good eats right there. It's been so long since I've been able to know the joys of something crafted with such skill. I can just savor it till the very last bits...."
  2523.  
  2524. Heng:
  2525. also why would she bother
  2526.  
  2527. Heng:
  2528. there is literally a dildo on the table
  2529.  
  2530. Heng:
  2531. sitting there
  2532.  
  2533. Sylina:
  2534. so there is
  2535. Porsche: (( i cant believe people once had to ring bells to get the waiters attention like filthy animas ))
  2536. Heng: (( a bell, the opposite of a knife ))
  2537.  
  2538. Hideo:
  2539. "I'm just wonder what you lot expect from me? I'm an old man, I'm no sellsword anymore. I've settled down with a wife and this brat of a child here."
  2540.  
  2541. Yin:
  2542. "I'm sixteen...almost! There's a thirteen-year-old charging into the Chitin stronghold right now, you've got no room to complain about your age here."
  2543. Sylina: (( See, that I don't know. IC I've settled for just having you prepare the offering. ))
  2544. Sylina: (( I could, potentially, roll an Intimidate check covering the implications of what'd happen if you didn't help out. ))
  2545. Yin: (( you could also bring up just having him prepare the offering and taking it there ))
  2546.  
  2547. Hideo:
  2548. "Didn't I say to keep a muzzle on her?"
  2549.  
  2550. Hideo:
  2551. "She's not helping your cause any."
  2552.  
  2553. Sylina:
  2554. "...I'll be brief. You understand the situation surrounding the Chitin Clan, right?"
  2555.  
  2556. Yin:
  2557. "...you're one heartless bastard, huh? Well, I'm going. I'll leave it to you two, I guess. Not hungry anyway."
  2558.  
  2559. Hideo:
  2560. "No one's stopping you. Let the adults talk."
  2561.  
  2562. Sylina:
  2563. "We'll meet you back at the airship, alright Yin?"
  2564.  
  2565. Yin:
  2566. "...maybe. I dunno."
  2567.  
  2568. Yin:
  2569. "See ya."
  2570.  
  2571. Sylina:
  2572. "Sorry..." @ Yin as she leaves. "Anyway... the Chitin."
  2573.  
  2574. Sylina:
  2575. god damn it this chair is too big for me I'm just gonna stand
  2576.  
  2577. Porsche:
  2578. "*Om nom nom* Or at least, one specific family of the Chitin is acting a lot more bold than normal..."
  2579.  
  2580. Sylina:
  2581. "They've been getting increasingly aggressive lately. Not a week ago, they launched an attack on the city of Nimae - yes, the impenetrable city. Guess what they managed to do?"
  2582.  
  2583. Sylina:
  2584. "They've kidnapped several victims - including the Low Patron, as mentioned, and at least one of the children from YOUR local abbey. They're going to be experimenting on them - assumedly, grafting parts from monsters onto their bodies, and one can only assume, turning them into a military force."
  2585.  
  2586. Sylina:
  2587. "We've been to the abbey ourselves, and received the training we'll need to stand a chance against the guardian and goddess of the Shinda Shrine - which is where we need your help the most. If you could help to prepare and serve a traditional banquet circa (however many years ago), we'd stand a chance to simply pacify her, something I'm sure your community would herald you as a hero for?"
  2588.  
  2589. Sylina:
  2590. "It's been so long since anyone was able to visit the shrine, after all."
  2591.  
  2592. Hideo:
  2593. Hideo sighs once more, "Look...I don't think I got any of your names, actually..." He clears his throat, "I'm not trying to be a heartless bastard here, which your dense little friend couldn't seem to comprehend. This isn't about the money for me...it's not even about getting a good laugh at that harpy getting the karma that's coming to her. It's that...at the end of the day, I have a family I need to look out for. A family that I don't want worrying whether their husband, their father, is going to come home alive or not."
  2594.  
  2595. Sylina:
  2596. "Sylina. This is Porsche." (Interjecting towards the upper half of that block)
  2597.  
  2598. Hideo:
  2599. "I've lived the sellsword life, hell I nearly died because of it more than once, no thanks to your boss lady Fen. ...I'll help with your damn banquet if only because your determination reminds me of myself when I was younger, er, Sylina."
  2600.  
  2601. Sylina:
  2602. She smiles. "Aw. It's nice to hear that from a younger man."
  2603.  
  2604. Hideo:
  2605. "Eh? Oh, I should've known, your one of those dragon-kin things, aren't ya? Should've known someone was off with those horns.."
  2606.  
  2607. Sylina:
  2608. "Splintered Crown, yes."
  2609.  
  2610. Porsche:
  2611. "*Chew* Well, the meal is certainly a step in the right direction, I'll tell you that. Your food better be even more off-the-chain than this though. While great, I'm sure mad shrine keeping spirits have much higher standards in nourishment."
  2612.  
  2613. Porsche:
  2614. "Really, it's a miracle that Godess Spirits even eat in the first place, so I think they have no right to be picky about it, but what do I know?"
  2615.  
  2616. Heng:
  2617. "Oh, like YOU have any right to complain about what, or how, someone eats."
  2618.  
  2619. Heng:
  2620. "Why am I still here? Not like anyone else is going to cook anything in this place..."
  2621.  
  2622. Porsche:
  2623. "Anyway, as the little one said, name is Porsche, sir. It's great that you could assist us, if only for this little while during these trying times. I'll make sure you make this whole escapade in one piece."
  2624.  
  2625. Sylina:
  2626. I was just about to ask that.
  2627.  
  2628. Heng:
  2629. "So tough, being the only one with a work ethic around here."
  2630.  
  2631. Heng:
  2632. She heads back off to the kitchen to cook up some more dank memes
  2633.  
  2634. Sylina:
  2635. "You shouldn't need to put yourself in harm's way. We already have a fairly large squadron - hopefully enough to handle the guardian."
  2636.  
  2637. Sylina:
  2638. "Although - if you should wish to apply some of those leadership skills I've heard about, we wouldn't object."
  2639.  
  2640. Sylina:
  2641. "Our own leader came down with a sickness of sorts, and is currently recovering..."
  2642. Sylina: (( Sorry to make this an infodump, but it is a -lot- of information to process ))
  2643. Sylina: (( Wanted to make sure that you had a good grasp on it ))
  2644.  
  2645. Hideo:
  2646. Hideo laughs, "Now I'm curious as to what sort of stories you've been told about a washed-up old man."
  2647.  
  2648. Sylina:
  2649. I have been talking completely out of my ass.
  2650.  
  2651. Sylina:
  2652. ...I should probably have to roll guile.
  2653.  
  2654. Yin:
  2655. Eh
  2656.  
  2657. Sylina:
  2658. Or charm.
  2659.  
  2660. Yin:
  2661. I didn't have to roll Intuition to tell he was a heartless bastard
  2662.  
  2663. Sylina:
  2664. tru
  2665.  
  2666. Yin:
  2667. not that I woulda failed,
  2668.  
  2669. Yin:
  2670. 31
  2671.  
  2672. Yin:
  2673. I am an intuitive little bitch
  2674.  
  2675. Sylina:
  2676. I'll spend one of my precious 4 AP to Charm my way into a story to keep up his good mood
  2677.  
  2678. Sylina:
  2679. 16
  2680.  
  2681. Sylina:
  2682. max roll let's go
  2683. Hideo: (( Oh, should I roll against that? o3o ))
  2684. Sylina: (( I dunno maybe (waiting) ))
  2685. Hideo: (( So I have expert intuition, what should I roll (HMM) ))
  2686.  
  2687. Sylina:
  2688. "Just that you were always dependable! Your years of experience both on the field and, well, within the restauranteur business would give you a natural talent for leadership."
  2689. Sylina: (( That's 5d6 ))
  2690. Yin: (( charm usually isn't opposed but Focus would likely be the most accurate? ))
  2691. Sylina: (( so that plus your Spirit attribute ))
  2692. Sylina: (( oh sure maybe ))
  2693. Sylina: (( I'd rather like to pass this one ))
  2694. Sylina: (( considering we're trying to get him to join ))
  2695. Hideo: (( Of course it's Focus, I have pathetic focus. ))
  2696. Sylina: (( Ha. ))
  2697. Hideo: (( So yeah, I couldn't beat that even if I wanted to. ))
  2698. Tokens dropped onto map 'Restaurant' by player Agidius (Player)
  2699.  
  2700. Hideo:
  2701. Hideo cracks a weak smile, "I know that's a load of shite. But I appreciate you humoring an old man..."
  2702.  
  2703. Sylina:
  2704. "And we'll appreciate whatever help you can offer us."
  2705.  
  2706. Sylina:
  2707. "Again, we promise to keep you out of harm's way so you can return to your family."
  2708.  
  2709. Hideo:
  2710. "Well I guess I can't say no to that, can't prove your annoying little friend right."
  2711.  
  2712. Sylina:
  2713. "That would be the worst case scenario."
  2714.  
  2715. Theron:
  2716. What the fuck are you blaming me for this time i stg
  2717.  
  2718. Theron:

  2727. Theron:

  2729.  
  2730. Sylina:
  2731. that's why I said off camera
  2732.  
  2733. Hideo:
  2734. Yeah, it's bed time
  2735.  
  2736. Theron:
  2737. Well I mean we could RP the doctor next session
  2738.  
  2739. Theron:
  2740. not FINDING them
  2741.  
  2742. Sylina:
  2743. Or at least someone to diagnose what the fuk is wrong with Rei
  2744.  
  2745. Theron:
  2746. just what happens once you get them
  2747.  
  2748. Sylina:
  2749. they EXPLODE INTO BEES?
  2750.  
  2751. Theron:
  2752. IDK
  2753.  
  2754. Theron:
  2755. depends on whether u wanna waste time and hear it in character or not be able to react to it
  2756.  
  2757. Sylina:
  2758. well it's not a real session if you don't end on a cliffhanger
  2759.  
  2760. Theron:
  2761. that is true, tirk has stated this
  2762.  
  2763. Sylina:
  2764. so cut to the Fuck You
  2765.  
  2766. Theron:

  2774.  
  2775. Theron:
  2776. the robotic parts of her body - her legs, eyes - have been hacked
  2777.  
  2778. Sylina:
  2779. Or wha- oh shit
  2780.  
  2781. Theron:
  2782. And the nanomachines inside her body are wreaking havoc on her
  2783.  
  2784. Sylina:
  2785. Have we KNOWN she was a robot?
  2786.  
  2787. Sylina:

  2790. Theron:

  2798.  
  2799. Theron:
  2800. You just never assumed "I'm short circuiting" was fo real
  2801.  
  2802. Theron:
  2803. she didn't want to bother with a doctor becuse there's not much a traditional doctor can do
  2804.  
  2805. Sylina:
  2806. also
  2807.  
  2808. Sylina:
  2809. I think one easy thing u could do as far as the brand goes would be to have my tastes change

  2811. Sylina:
  2812. as in appetite
  2813. Thrice:
  2814. well.
