- [21:49:29] <GMOwen> VOICEOVER: The philosophy of catching them all is an effort in futility. Sisyphus, pushing a Pokeball up a hill for eternity.
- [21:50:29] <GMOwen> VOICEOVER: Last session contained punching and female machismo. This is not that. This is the onlookers looking on from another part of the back yard, discussing topics of limited importance.
- [21:54:02] * [Owen]Marina polishes her sunglasses with Kovacs' tie, without asking first.
- [21:55:33] * Mara is napping as she bakes in the sunlight
- [21:56:07] * [Owen]Marina approves of the silky shine. She oughta get herself one of those ghost neckties.
- [21:57:27] <Kovacs> Hey, what the-
- [21:59:28] <[Owen]Marina> "Thanks, Kove."
- [22:00:11] <Kovacs> ...At least ask, will you?!
- [22:00:55] * Mara opens her eyes and wonders what the fuss is
- [22:00:55] * [Owen]Marina shrugs.
- [22:01:00] <[Owen]Marina> "Nah."
- [22:01:34] * [Owen]Marina puts her sunglasses back on. The world is restored to normalcy once more.
- [22:02:53] * Kovacs decides getting upset over it isn't worth it. Instead, she floats over to just behind Marina before snatching those sunglasses and then rapidly ascending.
- [22:04:43] * [Owen]Marina goes :T and quickly makes a jump for them!
- [22:11:45] * [Owen]Marina makes a SWEET CATCH.
- [22:12:00] <[Owen]Marina> "Yeah, no, that's not happening."
- [22:12:19] * MissD giggles at Kovacs, making her entranc.
- [22:12:21] <MissD> Awww~
- [22:12:32] * Mara yawns and sits up
- [22:12:43] * Kovacs simply gives an annoyed look.
- [22:12:46] * [Owen]Marina lands and returns them to her face, again.
- [22:12:52] <Mara> "Wots awl da rukus?"
- [22:12:58] <Kovacs> I'll get you for that eventually...
- [22:13:44] <MissD> Oh look... its you~ I almost forgot about Mara~
- [22:13:51] * MissD goes over and gives a hug.
- [22:14:09] * [Owen]Marina cool-looks at Mara. Everything is made cool with sunglasses.
- [22:14:32] <[Owen]Marina> "Just arguing about sunglasses, Mara. Nothin' big."
- [22:15:11] <MissD> Hii~ Mara~
- [22:15:40] <Mara> "Ah surah fing baus- Oh 'ello Miz Dee."
- [22:15:44] * Mara smiles and hugs back
- [22:15:53] * Aflack watches the ongoing antics, and wonders if this is what a nest-mother must feel. Only with contempt instead of love.
- [22:17:06] * Kovacs floats off to join Aflack, looking for something to do.
- [22:17:12] <MissD> Anyway.. where were we?
- [22:17:49] * Aflack At least the hulking brute has the decency to act like a hulking brute. That cannibalistic bird, on the other hand, hides her vicious streak behind a front of normality. Crafty wench.
- [22:18:41] * [Owen]Marina gives a look over at the other girls crowding around Komacho and her sister. She shakes her head.
- [22:20:03] <Mara> "I dunno."
- [22:20:11] * Mara answers Miss D, and doesn't let go of the hug
- [22:20:50] <[Owen]Marina> "Were we talking about how this crap ain't gonna work, or was that just me?"
- [22:21:05] * [Owen]Marina thumbs over to the fightan group.
- [22:22:07] <MissD> I think... it was just you?
- [22:22:17] * MissD lets go of Mara a while ago and wonders.
- [22:22:59] * [Owen]Marina shrugs.
- [22:23:19] <[Owen]Marina> "Yeah... Well, whatever. Let 'em learn."
- [22:25:27] * Kovacs floats outside Aflack's field of view and floats up above to poke his shoulder as if she'd done so from behind.
- [22:28:13] <MissD> Ooh.. a Kovacs too.
- [22:28:17] * MissD points at the Haunter.
- [22:29:58] * [Owen]Marina plods over to Duck Man.
- [22:30:06] <[Owen]Marina> "Are we having fun yet?"
- [22:30:24] * Kovacs hears her name, facing in its direction but staying just above Aflack.
- [22:31:04] * Mara decides to waddle over to the bird she never had a proper introduction with. She contemplates why birds seem to avoid her on her walk over but doesn't get very far with it.
- [22:31:18] <Mara> "Why 'ello thar mistah. I'm Mara, wots yer name?"
- [22:31:46] * [Owen]Marina sees a plethora of girls crowding the guy! Perhaps we ARE having fun!
- [22:33:04] * Aflack closes his eyes, and draws in a deep breath.
- [22:33:14] <Aflack> Do not touch me.
- [22:33:16] <Aflack> No.
- [22:33:20] <Aflack> Aflack.
- [22:33:43] * MissD giggles and floats over to gently poke Aflack.
- [22:33:45] <MissD> 14 Touch~
- [22:35:13] * Kovacs pokes him again, deliberately doing so from Marina's direction.
- [22:36:00] <Mara> "'ey now 'e sed 'e dint want ta be touched."
- [22:36:02] * Mara frowns
- [22:36:27] * Aflack flicks out his onion-painted wooden sword at Miss D., but fails to make contact, as she dematerializes before the blade hits her.
- [22:36:45] <MissD> 14oooh~
- [22:36:49] <MissD> 14 Close one....
- [22:38:00] * [Owen]Marina is impressed. Cocky-ego-man is not as perfect as all that, it seems!
- [22:38:44] * Aflack hasn't noticed Kovacs' second prodding.
- [22:40:25] * MissD is a tad bit distracted over Aflack's loss and gloats a bit~
- [22:40:35] * Mara bops Miss D good for being a rude ghost. She then stumbles a little from the recoil to her skull
- [22:41:33] <MissD> Ooof..
- [22:41:44] * MissD goes face first into the dirt...
- [22:41:48] <MissD> ...oowww~
- [22:43:12] <Mara> "Maybe tha'll teach ya not ta tease so much, Miz D."
- [22:43:18] * Mara folds her stubby arms
- [22:43:53] <MissD> oooie.. that's mean Mara...
- [22:44:06] * Kovacs continues to poke Aflack, but always from an angle that suggests a different direction.
- [22:45:11] * Aflack 's impression of the hulking brute has gone up a tiny fraction. At least she knows to respect her betters. And disrespect her worsts.
- [22:46:17] * Aflack 's self-directed distaste at such a mangled phrase quickly disappears in the face of the pokepokepokepokepoking going on.
- [22:49:11] <Mara> "She dint bothah uze too much did she Mistah Aflack?"
- [22:51:23] <Aflack> Is she still alive?
- [22:51:37] <[Owen]Marina> "No."
- [22:51:41] * [Owen]Marina is very serious.
- [22:51:45] <[Owen]Marina> "She's dead."
- [22:51:52] <[Owen]Marina> "There's no hope."
- [22:51:57] * Aflack perks up.
- [22:52:10] <[Owen]Marina> "She will never live again."
- [22:52:23] <Aflack> Oh! Well then. I sup-- Oh. I see what you have done there, turtle.
- [22:53:05] <Aflack> I shall concede the joke to you; I spoke without due consideration.
- [22:53:05] * [Owen]Marina SUNGLASSES SHINE and thumbs-up.
- [22:53:19] <[Owen]Marina> "Keep on keepin' on, man."
- [22:53:50] * Mara tries to scratch her head but can only reach the side
- [22:54:09] * Aflack makes a mental note: Current total of crafty women not to be trusted +1
- [22:54:47] * [Owen]Marina scratches Mara's head for her.
- [22:54:54] <[Owen]Marina> "Need some help there?"
- [22:56:08] <Mara> "Wot wuz you talkin about?"
- [22:56:18] <Aflack> Perhaps.
- [22:57:07] <[Owen]Marina> "Nothin' important, Mara. Just relaxing."
- [22:57:23] <[Owen]Marina> "Letting the other girls sort out their something-or-others over there."
- [22:57:48] <Aflack> After you are done massaging her skull, would you perhaps find it in your heart to tell me the location and identity of the despicable hoodlum who seems to be taking immense pleasure from pressing their filthy digits into my flesh? /Repeatedly?/
- [22:58:25] * [Owen]Marina turns and raises an eyebrow.
- [22:58:26] * Aflack 's sword hand is itching.
- [22:58:41] * Mara stares blankly at Aflack
- [22:58:43] <Mara> "Wot?"
- [22:58:57] * Aflack sighs.
- [22:59:30] <[Owen]Marina> "Whuh? Oh, that. You don't have to worry about that. She'll be dead before you even know it. Not a problem."
- [22:59:40] <Aflack> "Where's the bleeder what's pokin' me?"
- [23:00:00] * Mara points at Miss D
- [23:00:07] * Kovacs is amused at Alfack's predicament, although she holds off so she doesn't draw his attention.
- [23:00:07] <[Owen]Marina> "Also she don't bleed, yos."
- [23:00:09] * Aflack rephrases for Mara, feeling his flesh crawl as he speaks the words. Eugh.
- [23:00:21] <Mara> "I dun fink I 'it 'er 'ard enuf to make 'er bleed."
- [23:00:57] * Aflack considers both these replies. Well, now he's 0 for 2.
- [23:15:50] <Aflack> How magnificently unhelpful.
- [23:16:26] <Aflack> In retrospect, I should not have expected anything less.
- [23:16:30] * Mara sulks
- [23:16:35] <Mara> "Sorrah Mistah."
- [23:17:22] <[Owen]Marina> "Yeah, well, you bring it upon yourself."
- [23:17:30] <[Owen]Marina> "Lighten up or something!"
- [23:17:36] * MissD rises from the dust, slightly caked but sadly not reborned.
- [23:17:38] * [Owen]Marina pats Duck Man on the back hardily.
- [23:17:39] <MissD> Oof.. that hurts.
- [23:18:09] <Aflack> Karmic retribution, defiler.
- [23:18:39] <MissD> Hi Duckie~
- [23:18:48] <Aflack> Savor it or curse it, it comes all the same.
- [23:18:53] * MissD waves.
- [23:19:36] * Kovacs stays just above Aflack, wondering how to annoy him now.
- [23:22:06] <MissD> Kovacs~
- [23:22:08] * MissD waves at her too.
- [23:26:39] * Kovacs waves back, but keeps quiet and gets ready to move in case she's seen.
- [23:26:49] * Aflack considers /that./ Was it to someone behind him? Above him? Just to the side?
- [23:27:21] * Aflack Someone out of sight, and staying quiet. His childish assailant, most likely.
- [23:27:33] * Aflack ...And if it's not?
- [23:27:35] * Aflack ...
- [23:27:49] * Aflack ...Then they probably shouldn't have been there.
- [23:28:03] * MissD is clearly within view.
- [23:28:18] * Kovacs reaches down and pokes Aflack on his side, staying just above him and holding onto her tie with her other hand.
- [23:29:19] * Aflack is poked, and resists turning. They came from every angle before; obviously, misdirection is their primary tactic.
- [23:30:10] <MissD> Why are you so antsy?... something bit you~?
- [23:35:04] * Aflack draws his wooden blade in a flash, and swings it in an upward arc, striking... nothing?
- [23:36:39] <MissD> ...oooh.. so close~
- [23:36:44] <MissD> No leek for you~
- [23:40:32] * MissD floats with her legs crossed, watching in sheer amusement.
- [23:43:24] * [Owen]Marina approves of these shenanigans.
- [23:43:55] <[Owen]Marina> "Aren't you supposed to be some awesome warrior, Duckm'n? You're making me look bad over there."
- [23:46:07] * Aflack returns the blade to his side.
- [23:48:40] <Aflack> Even Antinus could not steal every onion from the Great Farmer's pasture, turtle. So, too, am I not perfect.
- [23:48:41] <MissD> She is supposed to be an awesome warrior~
- [23:50:09] <[Owen]Marina> "Cool story..."
- [23:50:11] * [Owen]Marina adjusts her glasses.
- [23:50:14] <[Owen]Marina> "...bro."
- [23:51:43] <Aflack> Such dazzling witticisms bring you ever closer to the genius you crave. Strive, turtle, and be great.
- [23:52:17] <[Owen]Marina> "Hey! That's MY line."
- [23:52:29] <[Owen]Marina> "That's a thing I'M supposed to say."
- [23:52:38] * [Owen]Marina gets all up ins Aflack's face.
- [23:53:12] <Aflack> Is it? Goodness.
- [23:53:30] * Aflack blinks blandly and just stares back at her.
- [23:53:41] * Aflack Or at least, into her glasses.
- [23:53:54] * Aflack ...Looking good today, Aflack. Looking good.
- [23:54:12] <[Owen]Marina> "Who are you? Are you me? Do you wanna be me?"
- [23:56:01] * MissD goes find a Mara.
- [23:56:28] <Aflack> Good /heavens,/ no. Why would I wish to be anything less than myself?
- [23:57:09] * [Owen]Marina isn't dumb enough to step to that.
- [23:57:40] <[Owen]Marina> "That's right. You keeping the me-ing to me. You just, go do whatever it is you do around here."
- [23:57:47] * [Owen]Marina backs out of his face.
- [23:57:55] <[Owen]Marina> "...Why are you here again...?"
- [23:59:51] <Aflack> Your-- and I say your, because you appear to be the most...
- [00:00:09] * Aflack thinks for a moment for something that's at least honest
- [00:00:57] <Aflack> ...reason-using among them-- flock is a dangerous one.
- [00:01:23] <Aflack> I have little confidence in your ability to handle all of them turning upon you at once, should they take it upon themselves to do something idiotic and rash.
- [00:01:25] <Aflack> ...
- [00:01:45] <Aflack> Moreso than usual, at any rate.
- [00:02:03] <Aflack> Beyond that, I am here to challenge the defiler--
- [00:02:14] * Aflack points to Miss D., who has wandered off
- [00:02:34] <Aflack> --to a rematch, when I deem such to be a suitable occasion.
- [00:02:49] * Kovacs floats back up and zooms around, wondering if there are any nearby humans to prank...
- [00:03:05] * [Owen]Marina nods.
- [00:03:06] <Aflack> And I am also here because I do not trust the cannibal in the slightest.
- [00:03:16] <[Owen]Marina> "...Cannibal...?"
- [00:03:25] * [Owen]Marina looks around. Who?
- [00:03:29] <Aflack> The bird.
- [00:03:44] <[Owen]Marina> "Oooooh. Her. Yeah. She's a bitch."
- [00:03:47] <MissD> wait.. hmm?
- [00:03:50] * [Owen]Marina shrugs.
- [00:04:07] <Aflack> Such have been my findings, as well.
- [00:04:50] * Aflack pauses, for a moment, and then adds, in an amused tone:
- [00:05:22] <Aflack> ...And this notion of ...what is it? Independence? Self-representation among the humans?
- [00:05:44] <Aflack> The brawler's dream.
- [00:05:58] <[Owen]Marina> "Hold up. Before you go sayin' stuff..."
- [00:06:12] <Aflack> --Yes?
- [00:06:18] <[Owen]Marina> "THEIR PLAN. Not my plan. I told 'em it wasn't gonna work."
- [00:06:30] <[Owen]Marina> "I've BEEN there, dude. I've TRIED what they're trying."
- [00:06:34] * [Owen]Marina shakes her head.
- [00:06:41] <[Owen]Marina> "Don't work not one bit."
- [00:06:59] <[Owen]Marina> "But... ehh, they're young. Let 'em figure it out like I did."
- [00:07:02] * [Owen]Marina sighs.
- [00:07:40] * Aflack nods, now smiling. Maybe smirking. It looks a shade too jovial to be a smirk, but it's in the neighborhood.
- [00:10:43] <Aflack> Indeed. Similar thoughts ran through my mind as well, and that is the final reason I am accompanying this band of ne'er-do-wells: Amusement. It is cheaper and less work than attempting to not only steal cable, but to then run a line several kilometers out to the village hall, and hook it up to a television with a dodgy speaker.
- [00:12:20] * [Owen]Marina chuckles.
- [00:13:24] <[Owen]Marina> "Hah. SO been there. Try hacking a League database with an ancient laptop computer and a Pikachu one day."
- [00:13:38] <[Owen]Marina> "Good times, good times."
- [00:13:55] <MissD> Oh you silly people and your hacking..
- [00:16:20] <GMOwen> [Protip: Marina can't hack. Tried it anyways. Failed miserably. The Pikachu would have done better trying it on his own.]
