* Logging #erevis to 'logs\EsperNet\#erevis.20080116.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: Unknown
<DeathStar> Location: Unknown
<DeathStar> 6* Theron, Darien, Chad, and Angela awaken in a cell.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien groans, holding his head.
* Angela rubs her head, opening her eyes. "Get the number of that shuttle?"
* Chad`Winters slowly opens his eyes, as he presses his hand against his forehead
<Drasek> *Theron groggily opens and eyes, then another, he slowly sits up, glancing around, a frown sliding across his face.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I hate psionics.
<Drasek> <Theron> I feel as if I were...hit by a truck, I believe you say.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands up, then immediately pukes on the floor.
<Drasek> *Theron slides back, making a face.
* Chad`Winters shakes his head as he tries to stand up
* Angela holds her nose. "Ugh..."
* Kuroichigo has quit IRC (Quit: jmIrc destroyed by the OS)
<DeathStar> 6* Darien wipes his mouth, eyeing the others. "Shut up."
<Angela> "No you were just... expressing what I wanna... got my head's all scrambled..."
<Drasek> <Theron> I do not blame you, Starr. I did the same my first time.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien turns to eye an energy field, reaching out to touch it, getting zapped. "Shit."
<Angela> "I've been psionically assaulted one too many times in my life... and one's too many."
<Drasek> <Theron> It would seem they have taken Miss Myria. *he pauses* And Lady Ariel as well
<DeathStar> <Darien> Ariel's missing? 6* He looks around, dumbfounded.
* Chad`Winters stands upright finally, apparently getting used to his body again.
<Drasek> <Theron> Perhaps she was the first to be up for interrogation?
* Kit is now known as Megumi
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hrm.
<Angela> "Mmm... maybe."
<Drasek> *Theron finally stands up. "I am most curious to explore this planet. It is unfortunate that I am being held.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien crosses his arms. "I wonder how Myria is fairing."
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Myria is brought into a Progenitor styled room, one should we recognize from whatever ancient documents she's been shown in the past
<Myria> ...wh...what's happening...?
<DeathStar> 6* A being of light steps out, much like Myria would recognize. It speaks, but more in her mind than anything. "Who are you? And where did you come from?"
<Myria> ...Myria Arhnya...from the Erus Ascendancy...
<DeathStar> 6* The being of light is silent at that. Since it has no real facial expressions, it's impossible to tell how it processed that information.
<DeathStar> <Progenitor> That is impossible. Speak the truth.
<Myria> Its true!
<DeathStar> 6* The being of light begins to approach Myria.
<Myria> Ummmmm?
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, Myria's mind is evaded, and the being begins to forcefully read her thoughts.
<Myria> EEEEEEEE!
<DeathStar> 6* It ignores her screams, shifting through her memories.
<DeathStar> 6* And after what seems like forever, it finally releases Myria, rather harshly.
* Myria whimpers...
<DeathStar> <Progenitor> This is unfortunate. However, I believe we can find some use for you, Myria Arhnya. Yes. I think you'll help be the bridge for a new era for the Erusian people.
* Ari[AWAY] is now known as Ariel
<Myria> ...wh...what?
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
-Megumi- What else do I have to do!? Besides cook dinner.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien rams into the energy field, only to be repelled int othe wall.
<Drasek> <Theron> I told you, that is unwise.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien groans.
* Angela sighs and checks on him.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sits up. "Well, we have to do SOMETHING."
* Chad`Winters runs his hand through his hair then checks his waist
<DeathStar> 6* Some Yloi warriors appear. They power down the energy field. "Please. Come with us."
* Angela helps Darien up.
<Drasek> *Theron glances up, tilting his head at the Yloi. "Greetings."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leans on Angela.
<Chad`Winters> Speaks Basic. 6He eyes the Yloi
<DeathStar> 6* Or are they speaking Basic? It's impossible to tell, since Theron heard it in his language.
<Angela> "Lead the way."
<DeathStar> 6* The Yloi turn and move down the hallway of cells
* Angela walks along with them, helping Darien along.
<Drasek> *Theron frowns. "I believe they aren't friendly." He steps out, moving along.
* Chad`Winters moves out after them, his eyes studying as he walks
<Angela> "That's twice you've gone flying without a shuttle in one day."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah, yeah.
<DeathStar> 6* They are led to what appears to be a strange device pad, though the technology appears to be very advanced.
<DeathStar> 6* The Yloi step on it, then turn to face the group, waiting.
* Angela steps up with Darien.
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue, glancing at Darien.
<Drasek> *Theron studies it as he moves to step on, attempting to pick up something familier.
* Chad`Winters than steps up on the pad
<DeathStar> 6* They are all teleported, appearing on another pad in another location. This area seems richer. More luxurious
<Drasek> *Theron glances around, then glances down. "Interesting."
<DeathStar> <Darien> At least we weren't scrambled into a million pieces.
* Angela seems to take a mental note of something, looking about, "Better then the cells."
<DeathStar> 6* The Yloi march forward down a hallway, then gesture at a room. "Enter."
<Drasek> *Theron watches them before moving to said room./
* Angela nods and heads into the room, with Darien still.
* Chad`Winters walks alongside Theron
<DeathStar> 6* Once they enter, they would find a luxurious bedroom. Myria is in here, wearing different clothing - apparantly she's being treated better than they are.
<Drasek> <Theron> Miss Myria. Thank the heavens.
<Chad`Winters> Nice clothes. 6He states neutrally.
<Angela> "Well that's one member of our merry crew back..."
<Drasek> *Theron steps over to check her over for bruises anyway. He's protective of course.
<DeathStar> 6* The doors are closed behind them.
<DeathStar> <Darien> We're missing someone? Oh, right. Ariel. 6* He hrms.
<Myria> Ummm...hi.
<Drasek> <Theron> They did not hurt you?
* Angela blinks a bit at him and nods. "They didn't mention what's happened to Ari did they?"
<Myria> My head is a little fuzzy...
<Drasek> <Theron> I see. *he frowns* So they searched your mind?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien crosses his arms now. "What do they want, Myria?"
<Angela> "Well, letting us go isn't on thier list of priorities I guess."
<Myria> I...don't know...they didn't say.
* Angela clicks her tounge a bit, shaking her head. "Weird."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Is this typical behavior?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien paces the room, studying it.
<Chad`Winters> If they probed her mind, obviously they gained some knowledge that they felt useful.
<Myria> I think...they know about the Progenitors disappearing...they may try to do something...
<Drasek> <Theron> I am unsure. *he admits to Darien*
<Angela> "They probably know our mission then."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I wish Erevis was here. Something tells me that bitch knows what is going on.
<Chad`Winters> I wonder where she is. 6He crosses his arms
<Angela> "You mean like she always does?"
<Drasek> <Theron> I am sure if I heard that my kinsmen were going to die out. I would make efforts to stop it.
<DeathStar> <Darien> She did state we can't alter the timeline, right?
<Angela> "Right."
<Chad`Winters> Aye.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien considers. "Well, then can they really change anything?"
<Myria> But... ... ...the Progenitors...aren't like...they were supposed to be...
<Angela> "After we leave they'll likely forget or something. Time is supposed to adjust itself back."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, I do have one problem with Erevis' logic.
<Angela> "Legends usually wind up to be nothing like in the books."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Even if we can't affect the timeline, they can affect us. I mean, our pain is something. So, what if they do something to us?
<Drasek> <Theron> Then we were meant to die at this time.
* Chad`Winters eyes Theron. 1"I'll pass on the dieing part.
<DeathStar> 6* The doors open and Arien is thrown into the room backwards, so that she lands on the wall.
<DeathStar> 6* The guards bow respectfully and close the door.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stares.
<Drasek> <Theron> Sometimes we cannot pass on such a-*he pauses* Thing.
* Angela looks over at Ariel and raises a brow.
<Angela> "Wow you musta really pissed them off."
<Ariel> "......"
<Drasek> *Theron says nothing.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves over to check Ariel's condition.
<Myria> Unless...what if they built that portal because we inadvertantly warned them...?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Now that's bad.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien offers his hand to Ariel.
* Chad`Winters moves over to the door studying it
* Angela puts a finger to her lips, considering.
* Ariel takes the hand up, "...I'm starting to regret coming."
<DeathStar> 6* The door has no obvious way to open it.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien helps Ariel up. "But you so wanted to be by your best friend's side."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien says this sarcastically.
<Drasek> <Theron> It would be most interesting. Perhaps they were meant to find out about their own demise.
<Angela> "Progenitor logic, they'd probably do nothing."
<Angela> "Look at Erevis."
<Drasek> <Theron> It might be safe to say that Lady Erevis is not like other Progenitors.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien turns to face the door. "Well, the first rule of any good prisoner is to escape, right?"
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue and looks over at Theron. 1"Theron, see if you can't open this door."
<Drasek> <Theron> I do not see any plausible way to accomplish this.
<Drasek> *Theron steps over to it. "But I will try."
<Myria> They can read our minds if they wish.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shoulder rams the door, and stumbles back.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Jesus. That thing is like steel.
<Chad`Winters> Just don't try shoulder ramming it. 6He looks at Darien
* Angela sighs a bit.
<Drasek> *Theron just stares and steps over to the door, placing a hand on it. He looks for a way to open it.
<DeathStar> 6* The door ignores Theron.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sighs. "This sucks."
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: The Progenitor Homeworld
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks along. So far, they haven't seen anything for hours. While she doesn't speak outloud about it, it's clear Erevis is giving Drasek the superior Progenitor look.
<Drasek> You're bloody annoying. You know that?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not understand. Why?
<Drasek> Yeah you know why. Giving me that look. *he scoffs*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I believe you are merely seeing what you wish to see.
<Drasek> Sure. So it should be coming into view anytime. *he notes, hands in his pockets*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You have said that a total of 6 times over a course of three hours.
<Drasek> It's been a while, alright?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Has it? 6* She shifts, pulling her trench coat off and putting it over her shoulder.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have a theory.
<Drasek> Oh? I wouldn't mind listening to it, I guess.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> My theory is that you have never been here.
* Drasek looks offended. "Well your theory sucks."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I find your offensive response to my theory to be more 'sucks'.
<Drasek> Too bad you used that wrong. You should have said, to be more sucky or sucktastic. Come'on luv, get with the times.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am quite adapt at the times. The time is that we have been here for over three hours.
<Drasek> Well you bloody well know where we're supposed to go. It's your fault we're not already finished and headin home.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Do not blame me for your inability to tell the truth about the direction. I-- 6* She pauses as up ahead a strange city, that looks like the starry sky, can be seen ahead. She pauses, staring. Flashes of light circle the city, and it would appear to be a heavenly body of some sort.
* Drasek grins widely when he notices. "You see that? You see that? I'm fucking right, that's right. How do you like it? Feels good doesn't it." He begins to talk for her, "Oh Drasek you're so amazing." He nods then turns, "You're right Revi. I am."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I imagine that the odds of blindly choosing the correct direction would be in your favor.
<Drasek> Oh that's bollocks. I win. You lose. Next challenge, please.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I refuse to accept your luck as a win.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis crosses her arms stubbornly.
<Drasek> Oh what's that? Do I hear Revi being a sore loser? Oh what else is new. Let's just add this one to the list of Drasek victories.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are sucktastic. 6* She walks onward.
* Drasek snorts. "You are."
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Unknown World
<DeathStar> 6* Wind and Megumi appear in another location in an instant.
* Megumi widens her eyes slightly, then gazes around, adjusting her sunglasses for effort.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Well, we are here.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Erusian Ancient World
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stares as Theron has humped the door forever.
<Chad`Winters> Myria, see if it'll respond to you.
<Drasek> <Theron> It appears I am not worthy. *he steps back*
<Myria> Ok. *walks over to the door*
* Angela takes a seat and watches them work on the door.
* Ariel checks what systems of hers are still active, now that she's getting feeling back.
<DeathStar> 6* They all appear to be active. But who knows with Progenitors.
<Myria> Ummm...open up?
* Ariel cautiously attempts to form a small plasma blade, out of curiousity.
<DeathStar> 6* Nothing.
<DeathStar> 6* The door doesn't open.
* Myria pokes the door.
* Ariel sighs
<DeathStar> 6* The door is poked.
<Angela> "Try Open Sesame."
<Myria> Oh! *tries using a telepathic command to open it*
<DeathStar> 6* The door immediately opens.
<Ariel> "......"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Oh? The codeword was Oh?
<Myria> No...telepathic command. *steps out*
<Drasek> *Theron smirks. "It would appear so."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps out as well.
* Angela steps out after them.
<Chad`Winters> This makes Myria the star of the show. 6He steps out, looking down the hallways
<DeathStar> 6* The hallway appears to be empty.
<Drasek> *Theron steps out and glances around, ready to take action if needed.
<Myria> Ummm...this way...I guess... *starts walking*
<Ariel> *follows* "You have no clue, do you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sighs. "This will not end well."
* Angela rubs her face.
<Drasek> <Theron> Perhaps it will be better than being held captive. *he moves after Myria*
<Myria> Have you got any better ideas?!
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue, not enjoying not having his belt or gun. 6He moves after her.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks after MYria. "Not really."
<Angela> "I miss my friggin Samaritan right now."
<Drasek> <Theron> I wish to find a stick or something that I could use to defend myself in a fight.
<DeathStar> <Darien> .... a stick.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Against those telepaths.
<Drasek> <Theron> It is not like any other weapons would give me an advantage.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pinches the bridge of his nose. "Ariel. I will kill Erevis. For the record."
<Ariel> "......"
<Angela> "Record noted..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'll take that silence as, "I'm with you, Darien."
<Drasek> <Theron> I can see the hate in her eyes, Mr. Starr. *he nods with him*
<DeathStar> <Darien> She's my girl. 6* He puts an arm around Ariel.
<Drasek> <Theron> Interesting. You do not seem her type.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sighs.
* Angela looks interested in Ariel's reaction.
<Ariel> "...I have one question... though I don't expect an answer."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah, why AM I your type?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks at Ariel.
<Ariel> "...that crossed my mind too."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses, then removes his arm.
<Drasek> *Theron seems amused.
<Myria> ...everywhere looks the same...
* Angela runs her fingers through her hair and looks deeply interested in another direction.
* Chad`Winters flicks his wrist, checking to see if they removed all the blade from his suit
<Ariel> "But, I was wondering... If that system was supposed to allow time travel without corrupting the time line... why didn't we just go stop all this mess from happening?"
<DeathStar> 6* No blade
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue in response.
<DeathStar> <Darien> ...
<Myria> Unless our arrival here was planned...
<DeathStar> <Darien> Meaning, we can't corrupt the timeline, because we were meant to be here?
<Drasek> <Theron> That was my theory earlier.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I really, really hate how Erevis phrases shit now.
<Angela> "Makes sense, actually."
<Angela> "However..."
* Angela looks at Darien, something on her mind.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Angela.
* Chad`Winters smirks, slightly amused at that
<Angela> "That scene hasn't played out yet."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Scene?
<Angela> "That we saw in her head."
<Drasek> <Theron> Pardon?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, for her, that would be the past, so it would be our future.
* Angela nods, not commenting any further.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien rubs his temples. "I hate time travel."
<Drasek> <Theron> I am afraid I am out of the loop. It is lonely.
<Ariel> "Oh... and while we wander the suspiciously empty halls..." *rests her hand lightly on Darien's shoulder, and attempts to create just enough of a plasma field to attempt cause an uncomfortable feeling, but no damage* "Tell me if you feel anything."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shifts. "Uh, yeah."
<Ariel> "Warm?"
<Drasek> *Theron glances at Chad. "You seem to have gotten older, Mr. Winters."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Uncomfortable, mostly.
<Chad`Winters> Hmm? 6He looks at Theron
* Angela looks at Chad, then Theron, and looks away.
<Myria> ...this is ridiculous...its like...erusian architecture...but no soul!
* Ariel lets go. "The systems register as operational. And yet. I can produce no visible effect."
<Ariel> "But you can feel it."
<Drasek> <Theron> It is said a father never really ages until they are taking care of a child. Is little Aya well?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hmmm. Maybe they're limiting what you can do to a point that can hurt them?
* Chad`Winters face faults.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Which means, perhaps, if you try really hard, you can break whatever barrier they have up?
<Drasek> *Theron just studies Chad.
<Angela> "The thought of not going back to them could be troubling him."
<Chad`Winters> If anyone ever tells you they don't grow up fast, punch them.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Badum ching
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Drasek> <Theron> I will keep this in mind.
<Drasek> NRP: Arggh!
<DeathStar> Location: Unknown World
<DeathStar> 6* Wind takes a seat on a stump.
<Megumi> ...And where is 'here?'
<DeathStar> <Wind> Just a place I've set up 'camp', so to speak.
* Megumi turns slightly, staring through her tinted glasses. 1"You remain enigmatic in your own right."
<DeathStar> <Wind> Hm. I find you to be more enigmatic, time traveler.
<Megumi> Why is this, when you seem to have already formed your idea of my being.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind studies the sunglasses, then forms his own pair. He appears to find this amusing.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Just because I know what you are, doesn't mean I know who you are, does it?
<DeathStar> 6* Wind shifts the sunglasses on his face.
<Megumi> What would you want to know?
<DeathStar> <Wind> *shrugs* Nothing.
<Megumi> There is never much to a mystery no one wishes to solve.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Some mysteries should remain just that, don't you think?
* Megumi tilts her head slightly. 1"...There are few I have come across that were not necessary to key in order to survive."
<DeathStar> <Wind> I see. 6* He peers around the area, then back at Megumi. "Well, if you WANT to tell me about yourself, go ahead.'
<Megumi> I am not sure if that is wise or not at this time.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Time traveling can be a bitch. Hmmm. Time traveling...curious..
<DeathStar> 6* Wind gets a far away look
<Megumi> I am under the assumption my influence will not distort what has already transpired. At least, that is what I was told. However, it remains to be seen what might affect me in what way.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Is that so?
<DeathStar> 6* Wind crosses his arms as he sits there. "You're energy signature is quite unique. I don't think it matches anyone in this universe."
<Megumi> It is not untrue that I am from far away.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind chuckles darkly.
* Megumi crosses her own arms. 1"Were you not with of a companion?"
<DeathStar> <Wind> Yes. Erevis seems to be running late. Erevis is like that.
<Megumi> I see.
* Megumi looks a bit confused, since she doesn't know Erevis to be like that.
<DeathStar> <Wind> You seem to be confused.
* Megumi shifts her eyes slightly. 1"..."
<DeathStar> <Wind> Hmmm.
<Megumi> Does Erevis have a cat?
<DeathStar> <Wind> No.
<Megumi> I see.
<DeathStar> <Wind> I had a cat once.
<Megumi> Did it behave poorly?
<DeathStar> <Wind> No.
<DeathStar> <Wind> So tell me. You know Erevis?
<DeathStar> 6* Wind stands up, circling Megumi.
<Megumi> It would be accurate to assume so.
<DeathStar> <Wind> That's fascinating. You know Erevis in the future.
* Megumi almost seems dryly sarcastic in noting. 1"You are observant."
<DeathStar> <Wind> Well. It's logical. You see, Erevis has been with me since the day Erevis was born.
<DeathStar> <Wind> For you to know Erevis, means it has to be in the future.
<Megumi> Exactly.
<Megumi> Much like I know you, but not of now.
* Megumi turns to eye him in passing. 1"When it comes to mind, I know little to nothing of you, past, present or future."
<DeathStar> 6* Wind reaches out, as if to touch Megumi's head.
* Megumi narrows her eyes slightly, leaning back just enough to remain out of reach.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind smiles slightly, retracting the hand. "Fair enough. Welcome, Erevis. You're late." 6* He speaks to someone behind Megumi.
* Megumi takes a step back and only turns sideways to look, having her instincts if nothing else.
<DeathStar> 6* An energy being is there. Nothing like the Erevis she knows. There are no human features.
<Megumi> Mh. I should expect as much.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Heh. Let me guess. You've seen her differently.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind cups his hands behind him as he stands behind Megumi, leaning in closer.
<Megumi> Of course. You are different, naturally Erevis will be different.
<DeathStar> <Wind> And tell me. What do you see when you see your Erevis?
* Megumi gazes toward him slowly. 1"That is an unfair question."
<DeathStar> 6* Wind pauses, looking abruptly surprised at something he must have saw. "You see her like that."
* Megumi actually scowls slightly. 1"Though beings of this sort are different, I can only despise light. It is in my nature."
<Megumi> The Erevis I know is irrelevant of this form, however.
<DeathStar> 6* However, when Megumi looks back, she would be looking at Erevis as she knows her, only at 12 years old, max.
* Megumi would have to be alarmed at that, piquing a small sound and backing off.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... What is going on, Wind?
<DeathStar> 6* Wind stands there, shaking his head, as if clearing his thoughts. "You really are enigmatic, kid."
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: The Endless Hallway of Doom
<DeathStar> 6* The team arrives at another teleportation pad.
<Angela> "Finally..."
<Drasek> <Theron> I am curious as to how these work. Perhaps like our technology?
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm not sure. 6* He steps on it.
<Drasek> <Theron> Or we could all stand about quietly.
<Myria> 6<12Myria6> Hmmm... *steps on to the pad*
* Chad`Winters crosses his arm as he steps on.
<Chad`Winters> Myria most likely just needs to think of a location.
* Angela steps on as well.
<Drasek> *Theron smiles politely, stepping on.
<DeathStar> <Darien> That could be dangerous. We might end up in an Omega Coke.
<Myria> Where should we go?
<Drasek> <Theron> Somewhere that could lead to an escape of some sorts?
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm not sure if the pad will just take us to an escape place.
<Chad`Winters> We should continue to look for that device.
<Ariel> "Then how about to the people in charge?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> You really want to go to the people in charge, Ariel?
<Angela> "Did Erevis even tell us what we needed?"
<Myria> Ummm?
<Ariel> "I don't like all this beating around the bush... but honestly, I'm stumped for ideas."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hrm. Alright. Myria, take us to the men in charge.
<Drasek> <Theron> I am against that idea.
<Angela> "Well we don't know that they want to harm us."
* Chad`Winters eyes Darien now. 1"You're serious?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Why not? We're not getting anywhere wandering anyway. And I doubt we'll escape
<DeathStar> <Darien> After all, they have to have monitors and systems set up to watch us
<Angela> "They likely knoew Myria could just open the door."
* Chad`Winters grunts
<Myria> Ok...
* Myria telepathically pictures the progenitor room...
<DeathStar> 6* They teleport to a new pad. However, it isn't the same room Myria was in. This place seems to be more like a circular throne room area. Four beings of light are in chairs before them.
<Myria> Umm....we're here.
<Drasek> *Theron widens his eyes as he glances around. "Again. I was against this."
<Angela> "Hi."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stares at them.
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue as he eyes 4 beings of light
* Angela looks at them.
<DeathStar> 6* The beings speak, without speaking. <You have come sooner than we anticipated. This is good.>
* Angela rubs her head. "We were being tested?"
* Ariel nods.
* Chad`Winters titls his head slightly.
<DeathStar> <Beings> <We have read the young Yloi's mind. We are aware of your situation in your time. We wish to join in an alliance with you.>
<Angela> "Nice."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Chad.
<Drasek> <Theron> What sort of an alliance?
* Chad`Winters glances at Darien then goes to speak, stopping when Theron talks
<DeathStar> <Beings> <We wish to augment your abilities and skills. So that when you return to your time, you can be able to stop the Dark beings that threat the universe.>
* Angela blinks, "Ummm... wow."
<Drasek> *Theron eyes flicker for a moment, perhaps in surprise, he glances at Chad and Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien crosses his arms.
* Angela looks at the others.
<Chad`Winters> And the cost. 6He shifts into his neutral stance
<Angela> "...Good question."
<DeathStar> <Beings> <There is no cost. We wish to aid our children.>
<Chad`Winters> Everything has a cost.
<Drasek> <Theron> Even if you may not see it as a cost. I am sure there is one.
<DeathStar> <Beings> <We only wish to aid you>
<Angela> Forgive us if we seem a little suspicious or wary.
<DeathStar> <Beings> <Do you not trust us, child?>
<Angela> We've had a hard path.
<Chad`Winters> Trust is not something I give out freely.
<DeathStar> <Beings> <We are speaking to the ones called Myria Arhnya and Theron Votoi.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien mutters something.
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue.
<Ariel> "Well... that makes more sense."
<Drasek> *Theron widens his eyes.
* Angela crosses her arms. "Guess we got nothin to worry about."
<Myria> Us?
<Drasek> <Theron> I'm afraid I do not understand why only myself and Miss Myria.
* Chad`Winters looks at Theron. 1"Because your Erusians.
<DeathStar> <Beings> <Yes. You trust us, do you not?> 6* And strangely, they would both find themselves trusting the Progenitors, almost unconditionally.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: You're
<Drasek> <Theron> Indeed. *he says simply, to the Progenitors*
* Angela blinks, looking at Theron.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well. He's Mr. Trusting
* Angela makes no comment.
<Chad`Winters> If their words are true, we would benefit from this Darien.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Sorry. I find it hard to believe a raise that likes to be deceitful. I mean, look at where Wind and Erevis got us.
<Angela> "Mmm..."
<DeathStar> <Beings> <This is good. Come before us, our children, and we will bless you.>
<Myria> Ok...
<Drasek> *Theron bows his head once and proceeds forward.
* Myria shuffles forward...
<Chad`Winters> Than we stop them. 6He moves to take a step forward.
<DeathStar> 6* For a brief moment, the beings of light seem to flicker with static.
<DeathStar> 6* But only to the others.
<Chad`Winters> Darien.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Chad.
<Chad`Winters> Did you see that?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah.
<DeathStar> 6* The beings of light rise as Myria and Theron draw before them.
<Angela> "I think we might like to remain existing."
* Chad`Winters picks up his pace and grabs Theron's shoulder to stop him
<DeathStar> 6
<DeathStar> 6* Darien races up and grabs Myria in a bear hug. "Sorry, princess."
<Myria> Whaaaa?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Time to go
<Drasek> *Theron glances at Chad.
* Angela watches the beings warily.
<Chad`Winters> We're leaving Theron.
<Drasek> <Theron> I have not recieved my gift.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien drags her toward the pad. The beings begin to speak. <Beings> <Our children. Stop them. They do not understand . They will lead the universe to ruin.>
<Myria> Ummmm...?
* Chad`Winters shifts his hand over to Theron's neck and presses a nerve cluster, aiming to disable him
* Angela helps Darien with Myra. "Omega coooookes."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien keeps leading Myria back to the pad.
* Ariel falls back last, keeping her eyes on the beings.
<DeathStar> 6* The beings fire a hyperspace beam at Darien.
<Drasek> *Theron shifts out of the way, eyeing Chad.
<Myria> Omega Cokes?! Really?!
* Angela shoves Darien and Myria down with herself to avoid the beam.
<DeathStar> <Beings> <What? How did she...break the conditioning...?>
<Chad`Winters> Good to see you're still there. We need to leave now. 6He eyes him.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien oofs.
<Angela> "Knew that damned soda would come in handy."
* Angela helps them up.
<Drasek> <Theron> Remove your hand from me.
<DeathStar> 6* The beings fire four hyperspace beams - one at Angela, one at Ariel, and one at Chad, and one at Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* They will hit in
<DeathStar> 5
<DeathStar> 4
<DeathStar> 3
* Angela leaps aside.
* Chad`Winters eyes Theron then leaps to the side.
* Ariel leaps to the side and pulls Darien away from the beams
<DeathStar> 2
<Myria> And escaping! *telepathically pictures the way out
<DeathStar> 6* The pad zaps them outside.
<DeathStar> 6* Sadly, 15 feet off the ground
* Ariel braces for impact!
<DeathStar> 6* Darien makes a noise and slams into the ground
* Angela ooofs as she hits the ground oddly.
* Myria climbs off of Darien and leaps to her feet.
<Drasek> *Theron lands nimbly on his feet, falling silent.
* Chad`Winters kicks his legs out then shifts his body as he tries to land decently. He bounces once and rolls.
<DeathStar> 6* The Progenitors appear before them, floating. Suddenly, Angela's right hand glows a yellowish color, burning
<DeathStar> <Progenitors> <Erusians! You will obey us!>
* Angela groans and pulls herself, up, shaking her hand. "What the hell..."
<Myria> Why?
<DeathStar> <Progenitors> <Because we command it!>
<Chad`Winters> So they really were just mindless slaves. Rylon was right. 6He smirks slightly
<Angela> "M-My hand...."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, that's a first.
<Drasek> <Theron> Hmph. *he stands, narrowing his eyes*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands up.
<Myria> Why?
<DeathStar> <Progenitors> <You should not be able to question us! We have implanted obedience into your very genetic structures!>
* Chad`Winters stands up, he shifts his body slightly
* Angela blinks, "...This is new..."
<Myria> Why?
* Ariel pulls herself to her feet. "...you know... I hoped Wind would be an exception for your people."
<DeathStar> 6* tThe Progenitors fire a beam of hyperspace at Myria.
* Angela focuses as she calms her hand down for now.
<Drasek> *Theron jerks to pull her aside.
<DeathStar> 6* The beam hits the ground, blowing a hole in it
<DeathStar> <Darien> Tch. Well, maybe all Progenitors are evil.
<Myria> My questions are now answered.
<DeathStar> <Progenitors> <We have seen the future in your head. We will be ressurected. Your people were put into this universe by us. You were created by us.>
<Drasek> <Theron> Perhaps because they do now know how to answer it. One often resorts to violence at times when they are out of ideas.
<Chad`Winters> There not much different than the Dark Ones.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Tch. It would seem not.
<Angela> "Light and Dark, it's all just different shades."
<Chad`Winters> Makes you think.
<DeathStar> 6* The Progenitors suddenly circle the group, moving faster than light. They prepare their attacks.
<Drasek> <Theron> This will not end well.
<Ariel> "Extremists are always extremists. It is a shame they're not more agreeable." *attempts to form her armour and blade*
* Chad`Winters shifts, adopting a defensive stance.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel's armor and blade form, now that they are outside.
* Angela readies herself, her hand glowing.
<DeathStar> 6* They fire four beams of hyperspace at the group.
<Drasek> *Theron grabs Myria and attempts to jump up and over the attack.
* Angela fires a hyperspace beam back at one of them, leaping aside.
* Ariel leaps into the air, and starts to gether holy energy.
<DeathStar> 6* The being is hit, and unphased. Hyperspace doesn't seem to hurt it.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien throws himself to the right.
* Chad`Winters leaps, rolling forward.
<Drasek> NRP: Chad jumps into the blast. LAWL.
* Angela growls in pain and shivers a bit as she recovers, her glow fading from her hand. "Well that didn't work..."
* Myria seems unusually pensive right now as she is pulled around by Theron.
<DeathStar> 6* A Progenitor appears in front of Angela, firing a beam at her at point blank
<Drasek> *Theron lands and places himself in front of Myria like usual. "It would be beneficial if I had some type of weapon.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks around. o"Any ideas?"
* Angela drops down and to the side, trying to avoid it.
* Chad`Winters rolls into a crouch. He looks around. 1"None.
<DeathStar> 6* Angela fails to avoid, and is blasted. She has a smoking burn hole now.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien whips around. "ANGELA!"
<DeathStar> 6* He's blasted in the back.
* Ariel lands and fires a holy blast at the one tryi-... succeeding in hitting Angela
* Angela cries out and screams in pain.
<DeathStar> 6* The Progenitor is hit. It's knocked back, but unhurt.
<Drasek> *Theron shifts around, eyeing his allies being struck down, he knows it will only be a matter of time.
* Angela stumbles away from it, body in searing pain at the moment.
<Ariel> "...right. It'd be nice if Wind was at least abnormal in terms of strength."
<DeathStar> <Progenitors> W<e will defeat you, and find the source of error in your genetic coding, Myria Arhnya.>
<DeathStar> 6* The Progenitors appear in front of Ariel, firing at her
<Myria> ...the source of error...is you. You are an imperfect being.
* Chad`Winters quickly glances around, trying to survey all his options
<DeathStar> <Progenitors> <That is illogical.>
* Ariel attempts to roll to the side, before she's hit too bad.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien strains to stand, his back still smoking
<Drasek> <Theron> Then why is that your race ceases to be in our time?
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel's clipped, but misses a full hit
<DeathStar> <Progenitors> <The one named Erevis and Drasek shall ressurect us. We have seen their journey to attain the artifact>
* Angela pulls herself to Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* A Progenitor appears above Darien, firing at Angela gain
* Disconnected
* Attempting to rejoin channel #erevis
* Rejoined channel #erevis
* Topic is 'Erevis the Progenitor | Season 1 (Destiny): 17 of 20 complete | Episode Eighteen: Winds of Destiny | Session #18 | Mon/Wed @ 9 PM | Visit our brother RPG: #taw'
* Set by DeathStar on Mon Jan 14 23:43:43
* ChanServ sets mode: +o DeathStar
<DeathStar> 6* And so, our heroes escape through a vortex, after Angela saves them dramatically. Sadly, no one will remember.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis and Drasek arrive at the city after sometime. Erevis has put her coat back on. She peers around the city. A light zooms past them rapidly.
* Drasek glances about, not showing if this is new to him.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<Drasek> I got us here. Now what? *he looks to Erevis*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at him with a tilt of her head. "I do not know."
<Drasek> Well that's unsettling.
<Drasek> Thought you were supposed to know it all, eh?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have never claimed to 'know it all'.
<Drasek> You sure act like it.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares at him.
<Drasek> Bloody hell, did I say that out loud?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
<Drasek> Whoops. *he grins, and then steps forward* You have no idea what we're supposed to do at all?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis goes to respond when suddenly a Progenitor is before them.
* Drasek pauses and tenses up. "Bloody hell, mate. You gave me a heart attack."
<DeathStar> <Progenitor> <.... You two are one of us. Yet you are not.>
<Drasek> Guess you could say that. *he steps back beside of Erevis*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis remains silent.
<DeathStar> <Progenitor> ... 6* The being of light seems to be staring them down.
* Drasek crosses his arms. "Here comes the probe." He notes with a slight sigh.
<DeathStar> <Progenitor> <I see your time in these forms have made you imperfect. A folly that perhaps you can overcome. Please follow me.>
<DeathStar> 6* The being zips away at the speed of light toward a tall building
* Drasek glances at Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems somewhat annoyed.
<Drasek> Yeah. You're just like that. *he notes, and begins to walk*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Just like what? 6* She repeats as she follows him.
<Drasek> Blunt and at times, annoying. *he gives her a smile*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Perhaps you should observe your own behavior.
<Drasek> Never said I wasn't, luv. Infact, I make an effort to be this way. What's your excuse?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She just walks faster.
<Drasek> Oh come'on. You're supposed to give a retort and then I do too. It's what we do. *he frowns, picking up pace*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just keeps using silence.
<Drasek> Fine you win. *he hmphs, crossing his arms*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I was unaware we were in a contest.
<Drasek> You never are. *he looks ahead* So what's going to happen?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know.
* Drasek sighs. "I hope it's fun."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Unlikely.
<Drasek> Never is. I hope it feels nice.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Fun is nice.
<Drasek> Yeah you have a point. *he sighs* You think we'll have to fight something?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ....... We shall see.
<DeathStar> 6* They arrive at the building. A pad stands before them, the only sign of entrance, as there is none
* Drasek steps onto it. "Glad to see you know more than you're admitting.
Session Close: Thu Jan 17 00:00:00 2008

Session Start: Thu Jan 17 00:00:00 2008
Session Ident: #erevis
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Time reveals all things, does it not?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps on as well.
<Drasek> Nice answer. Wouldn't expect any less from you. *he crosses his arms* Here we go.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am glad to have met your expectations.
<DeathStar> 6* They are teleported inside a room.
* Drasek turns to gaze around, trying to figure out where he is now.
<DeathStar> 6* As Drasek gazes around, it appears they are standing in the universe itself, though that's impossible.
* Myria has left #Erevis
* Drasek arches a brow. "Now this don't seem right."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She walks forward, walking across space itself.
<Drasek> And you don't know what's going to happen. *he laughs and walks after her*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances back at Drasek. "I know how it ends. I do not know what will occur before that."
<Drasek> You should skip to the ending then. I always one to read the spoilers.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No.
<DeathStar> 6* A Progenitor appears before them. Erevis stops, not expecting that.
<Drasek> Fine. Let's to the in between stuff, then. *he waves a hand in irratation, then stops*
<DeathStar> <Progenitor> <Children.> 6* The Progenitor greets them, though without warmth in it's voice. Then again, Progenitors claim to beyond such things as emotions.
* Drasek crosses his arms, studying the Progenitor.
<DeathStar> <Progenitor> ... 6* It reaches out to Erevis. Flincing, as if expecting it's touch to burn her face, Erevis blinks as the hand does not burn.
* Drasek watches them interact, not really shocked by the not burning bit.
<DeathStar> <Progenitor> <How it must ache for you two to be trapped in those forms.>
<Drasek> I've had worse.
<DeathStar> <Progenitor> <Truly? I find that hard to believe. Your body is dying. I wish we could help you, however, that poison is unknown to us. However, you...> 6* It addresses Erevis. <We could free you from your prison of flesh, if you desire it.>
<Drasek> There you go luv. Just what you've always wanted.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Unknown Planet
<DeathStar> 6* The younger Erevis, perhaps still a child at this point, at least in Wind's eyes, seems to be watching Megumi with no emotion
<Megumi> What is your meaning, Mister Wind?
<DeathStar> <Wind> My meaning?
<Megumi> It is unsettling to constantly be referred to in such a way.
<DeathStar> <Wind> My apologizes.
* Megumi studies Erevis, a bit offput by being the larger of the two for a change, but finds herself rather familiar with the empty look.
<DeathStar> <Wind> So, what is your relationship with her in the future? 6* He stares at Erevis, unnerved by the human form that Megumi sees.
<Megumi> I believe that is personal.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Hmmm. So secretive.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
* Megumi makes sure her glasses cover her eyes fully for whatever reason, then folds her hands and bows to Erevis, refraining from speaking.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares.
<DeathStar> <Wind> *laughs* She doesn't get what that means.
<Megumi> I am used to that.
<DeathStar> <Wind> So you're saying she doesn't - SLASHER - learn things in the future, either?
* Megumi stands and tilts her head. 1"No, I am used to being misunderstood."
<DeathStar> <Wind> Ah. Well, I'll be happy to listen to your story. So I can understand.
<Megumi> ...Now you want to hear about me?
<DeathStar> <Wind> Yes.
* Megumi peers skeptically at Erevis now, even if she does turn more toward Wind. Obviously reluctant now. 1"It is not very entertaining."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis mimics the expression briefly.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Well, anything will be more entertaining - SLASHER - than not hearing anything at all
<DeathStar> 6* Wind sits down, patting for Megumi to sit with him
* Megumi closes her eyes, sighing, then goes to sit as well, crossing her legs with an indignantly frown.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves and sits, crossing her legs and gives the same frown.
<DeathStar> <Wind> *sighs* Please don't teach her bad habits, by the way.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Slasher use to do that.
<Megumi> Mister Winters, did? I find it hard to believe.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Who?
<DeathStar> <Wind> Nevermind. Tell me about yourself.
<Megumi> Ehm. ...Nothing.
* Megumi opens one eye partially and gazes at Wind. 1"First, you realize that this is awkward, considering if I am to take your own word for it, I should believe that this is a contradictory story, considering I do not exist."
<DeathStar> <Wind> I have an open mind.
<Megumi> No argument with that.
* Megumi pauses briefly. 1"The whole thing, or only the parts that should concern you?"
<DeathStar> <Wind> The whole thing will do.
* Megumi peers at Erevis again. Hey, she said it wouldn't have any effect.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at Megumi.
* Megumi puffs her cheeks for some reason, then sighs.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> This one's mental output is unstable.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Shh. Be polite.
<Megumi> Yes, it is.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
* Megumi reaches up and re-enacts a nervous habit she's kicked for the longest time-- rubbing one of her ears.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Should we listen to such an erratic being?
<DeathStar> 6* Wind sighs and holds up his hands helplessly. "She's young. Try not to be offended."
<Megumi> That is for you to decide. I am only doing as I am asked.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. 6* She glances away, apparantly having no interest in Megumi.
* Megumi thinks that probably for the best.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Please. Continue.
<Megumi> I am a youngling from an outcast dying star called Nyr, resident of a moon called Famfrit. Though it might be noted that my family is a merged branch that includes a relative lost from an Earth territory. I was raised to be a researcher, but on my first offworld experience a difficulty marooned me on another system's undercivilized world where I spent the latter part of my years unlearning anything I had learned prior.
* Megumi gestures toward Erevis. 1"I believe that to be more or less a portion of this unstability she refers to."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Unlikely.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis says nothing more.
* Megumi shrugs gently. 1"It will be what it is."
<DeathStar> <Wind> I see.
<Megumi> Unlike my homeworld upbringing, the neighboring world Kilek's experience wasn't much unlike animal lifestyle, though I eventually re-learned humanic sorts' traits after being through hypnotic traits of music. I have never understood it fully myself, but whatever happened to reverse my mental evolution, corrupted the very nature of my will and spirit.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind nods.
<Megumi> Famfrit like myself are naturally gifted with the ability to learn to manipulate kinetic and atomic states. It had interesting effects. More pertinently I had barely recovered and become aware of the effects when I was recovered by an envoy of a militant group from my world.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind nods.
<Megumi> Instead of reconnecting with my family, I was more useful as an experiment and guard dog more or less, and became involved shallowly in a diplomatic group set to maintain peace throughout rival galaxies. Admittedly I had very little to do with it, even after splitting away from being used.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind nods.
<Megumi> Though.
* Megumi squints at Erevis, frowning again.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares blankly at Megumi
<Megumi> I did meet people that have led to my eventual current purposes at that time.
<Megumi> Even if some of them are gone now.
<DeathStar> <Wind> I see.
<Megumi> Not yet, I think.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Figure of speech to keep you talking
* Megumi eyes Wind instead of Erevis. 1"Yes, but I have very little more to say. Most of it, is as I said, personal."
<Megumi> But the personal matter that relates to you, is that you are one of the gone.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Am I?>
<Megumi> Clearly not, in a manner of speaking.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Then I am, or am I not?
<Megumi> Of my relation, you are lost. Though not fond of Progenitors currently, they seem to have created possibilities of impossibilities. I did want to speak to you again, and here we speak.
<DeathStar> <Wind> And what is a Progenitor?
<Megumi> ...
* Megumi gazes downward.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind studies her impassively from behind his sunglasses.
<Megumi> Beings like Erevis and yourself, however, with differences.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at Megumi now.
<DeathStar> <Wind> I'm a Progenitor, eh?
<Megumi> I believe the term for your kind is a 'black sheep.'
<DeathStar> 6* Wind says nothing to that
<Megumi> The progenitors I am unfond of, are a race of people with responsibilities out of their hands thrust to their forefront without the proper reasons for their actions. Affecting too much without restraint or concern for qualities beneath their intentions.
<Megumi> Erevis and yourself are different.
<DeathStar> <Wind> And how are we different?
<Megumi> You can change that.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Oh?
<Megumi> I have already seen that it can be done. You two have the ability to change everything, and it will always be my belief that the only thing that can withold that is the lack of will to do so.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind crosses his arms. "You seem to think you know much about our intentions."
<Megumi> It is likely I know nothing at all. I can only determine what I see and have seen.
<DeathStar> <Wind> And what have you seen?
<Megumi> Intentions that I deeply respect, even if I resent their nature.
* Megumi tilts her head toward Erevis. 1"..."
<DeathStar> <Wind> You're enigamatic, alright
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* The 12 year old just peers at her. It would seem she lacks any real emotions, and so she just stares.
* Megumi smiles at Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis does not smile back.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind stands up finally, gazing up at the sky. Strangely, night has fallen slowly, but surely, but instead of a sky full of stars, it appears to be a mostly dead sky.
* Megumi stares upward now that it's dark. 1"...Hm."
<DeathStar> <Wind> ...
<Megumi> Like home, this is the sky that I was born under.
* Megumi peers at Wind. 1"However, it is not. Is it?"
<DeathStar> <Wind> ... 6* He looks at Megumi. "Wouldn't you be the only one who could answer that, Mystery Girl?"
* Megumi squints back at Wind. She told him to quit that. 1"You can be annoying, I now recall."
<DeathStar> 6* Wind laughs, throwing his head back.
* Megumi crosses her arms, scowling more childishly now. 1"Please do not teach her bad habits. I will return it to you twice over."
<DeathStar> 6* Wind glances at her, then at Erevis. "Erevis is 'her' own person."
<Megumi> That is why I love her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis keeps staring. "As I said. This one suffers from mental ailments, Wind."
<DeathStar> 6* Wind crosses his arms. "Do you."
<Megumi> Not of the kind that would cause me to make such mistakes.
<DeathStar> <Wind> So tell me. What is your reality like?
<DeathStar> 6* Wind looks at her seriously now.
* Megumi rubs her forehead and stands, hopping atop where she was sitting. 1"Harsh. Painful and cold. Lonely at times."
<DeathStar> <Wind> Doesn't sound like a very nice place.
<Megumi> It is what you are willing to make it. I was taught that.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Hm. This world is dying. A few hundred years are all that is left.
<Megumi> Will you let it die?
<DeathStar> <Wind> No. I've been searching for Centerpoint. Looking to make a new reality. So life may go on.
<Megumi> Is there anything that can stop you from doing so?
<DeathStar> 6* Wind glances at Megumi. "Hm. I hope not. I don't plan to be defeated so easily. Not when everything depends on me."
* Megumi frowns slightly, looking disappointed. 1"You... hope not? Don't plan?"
<DeathStar> <Wind> No one can predict the future, kid. Not even you. But, if you're here, something tells me I succeed.
<Megumi> Hrmph. Perhaps my respect is misplaced.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Probably so. 6* He nods his head once.
<Megumi> Well. I will be there when you lose faith.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind laughs. "Lose faith?"
<DeathStar> <Wind> That I'll never lose.
<Megumi> Right. Or I will beat it back into you.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches the two.
<DeathStar> <Wind> *snorts*
* Megumi squints. 1"You did that then, too."
<DeathStar> 6* Wind gazes at his hand. "Did I?"
* Megumi twitches slightly, puffing her cheeks childishly again. 1"Always underestimating me."
<DeathStar> <Wind> I have no estimation of you.
<Megumi> That pisses me off even more.
<DeathStar> <Wind> To have an estimation of you, I'd have to know you
<DeathStar> 6* Wind gazes at her calmly.
* Megumi grinds her teeth slightly. 1"Forget once, it seems. Forgot me twice... Now you will do it a third time?"
* Angela is now known as Sera|Bedtime
<DeathStar> 6* Wind shakes his head. "Fascinating."
* Megumi takes a single step and raises a clenched hand. 1"Remember my name for once, you jerk."
<DeathStar> <Wind> You know. This is the first time I've met you, Future Girl.
<DeathStar> <Wind> It's kind of unfair to hold me to future standards.
<Megumi> Yet you have forgotten my name already, have you not?
<DeathStar> <Wind> It matters that much to you?
* Megumi recoils slightly. 1"...Honestly? Not as much these days. When we meet, however... it hurts."
<DeathStar> <Wind> Hm. Don't you think you've invested too much into a man you don't even know?
<Megumi> Hrmph. It is only natural I admire you, even if no one else understands.
<DeathStar> <Wind> And why do you admire me?
<Megumi> That is another unfair question.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Is it?
<Megumi> ...What I can do is in my own hands. If I can will it into being. Unlike you, however, I am lacking in every aspect.
<Megumi> You come through.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind stares at her. "I think, Megumi, you're too hard on yourself. You're very young."
* Megumi twitches again. She's not a kid. She's not a kid. Being around this guy seems to bring back her old thoughts.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind watches her. He shakes his head. "Maybe one day you'll understand what I mean."
* Megumi turns away stubbornly. 1"I do not like watching things unfold helplessly. It is not in my nature to remain still when I feel I can make a difference, yet I never do as I intend."
<DeathStar> <Wind> But you try, right?
* Megumi loses her stiff posture a bit. 1"..."
<DeathStar> <Wind> That's all anyone can do, in the end. Try to do what they think is right. Does it mean they are? Not necessarily. Does it mean they will succeed? Not necessarily. What matters is that you try. That you put forth the effort. And you accept the failure or success when it comes, and you learn from it.
* Megumi stares at him a moment, then crouches and holds her knees. She hides her face, but a tail manifests out of crystal and twitches back and forth.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Mental instability again. 6* She notes confidentally.
<DeathStar> <Wind> And maybe when you aren't so young, you won't hide your face. Or get so indignant.
* Megumi shifts her legs down, sitting again and makes apparent she was crying for the first time in a while. She gives Wind another scowl.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind sits beside Megumi. "Need a tissue?"
<Megumi> I do not find you annoying, I now recall.
* Megumi sniffs... but indignantly, damn it.
<DeathStar> <Wind> And what changed that?
<Megumi> Meeting you again.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Well, then maybe fate had a reason for you to be here.
* Megumi nods slowly. 1"Perhaps."
<Megumi> I do not know what I am supposed to do, however.
<DeathStar> <Wind> That's something not even I can tell you. We are but a dream within a dream. And what is reality but how we perceive it?
* Megumi shakes her head. 1"...I mean, I do not know what I am supposed to be doing."
<DeathStar> <Wind> That's what I meant. If this is like a dream, and there are no consequences for you being here, perhaps you should merely perceive your way to where you need to go.
<Megumi> I am looking for something, but I do not know what it is or where to begin looking for it.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Ah. Perhaps you already found it.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind stands up.
* Megumi peers at Wind, thinking about something crazy.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind looks back up at the stars, his gaze and focus drifting
* Megumi shakes her head, couldn't be.
<Megumi> What of yourself. Have you... any knowledge of Centerpoint?
<DeathStar> <Wind> I do not think it exists in this reality anymore. I will have to find another path.
<Megumi> What is... this path?
<DeathStar> <Wind> I don't know yet. Heh. I just hope I find it before it's too late.
<Megumi> Have you ever been to... a place called Erus?
<DeathStar> <Wind> Hm. There is no such planet.
<Megumi> I am not surprised, although distressed.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Hm. 6* He pauses, then glances off in the distance. "I think I have found what you are looking for."
<Megumi> Eh?
* Megumi moves to stand next to him and tries peering off where he is.
<DeathStar> 6* The night forest reveals nothing
<DeathStar> <Wind> There is a rip in the fabric of time and space out there.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Much like when you appeared.
* Megumi looks a little alarmed. 1"This... makes sense in its own way."
<DeathStar> <Wind> I'm glad it makes sense for someone.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands, peering off into the distance.
<Megumi> Where is it, might I ask?
<DeathStar> <Wind> A mile. In that direction. 6* He points.
<Megumi> Er... I cannot see that far.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Then I guess you have to trust me.
<Megumi> I ...can do that for now.
<DeathStar> <Wind> For now. But one day, you won't be able to do so, right?
* Megumi shakes her head slightly. 1"No, I continue to do so. I merely will not follow your directions."
<DeathStar> <Wind> So you won't walk in the direction of the rip?
* Megumi grins. 1The future, dummy."
<DeathStar> <Wind> *laughs* I figured. With power comes corruption, and with absolute power...
<DeathStar> 6* Wind shrugs
<Megumi> It is easy to lose sight of details when looking at greater and greater schemes of things.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Perhaps so. IT was interesting meeting you, Megumi. A shame I won't remember.
<Megumi> Yeah. Your memory is atrocious.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Hm. Perhaps.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares at the two, clearly not getting any of it
<Megumi> I remember, at least. Even if I almost die in the process.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Interesting.
* Megumi hops two more steps and turns, bowing to both. 1"Thanks."
<DeathStar> 6* Wind nods his head. "It was fun speaking with you. Remember what I said. I do not consider myself overly wise, but I do have experience in things. Try your best. And accept the results. Good or bad."
<Megumi> Yeah. Erevis did.
* Megumi turns and sprints off.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... She is unwell.
* Megumi pauses and spins. 1"I heard that!"
<Megumi> By the way, Wind. One more question.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I did not intend for you to not hear it.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Yes?
* Megumi careens her head. 1"...Malervis?"
<DeathStar> <Wind> Who?
* Megumi shakes her head and shrugs. Then skips off again.
<DeathStar> <Wind> Malervis...
<DeathStar> <Wind> Why does that seem familiar...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. Perhaps it is what inspired you to name me.
<DeathStar> 6* Wind shakes his head. "A shame we can't remember this. But something tells me it's something that cannot be remembered." 6* He waves his hand over Erevis' face as he moves to the log, then his own face. He takes a sit, then looks at Erevis. "Now. Where were we?"
* Megumi navigates forests for the second time in ages, alert to the not wanting to be eaten by dinosaurs thing.
