[Garland`] Who's that?
* Seraphna blinks
* Eve` looks confused as she looks at Garland
* DeathStar is looking up at the ceiling.
[Diamondback] [Hrm.]
[Hikaryuu] 10[3[12Ariel3]10] *hugs DS* "I trust everything went well...?"
[Garland`] Man, there's a lot of new faces.

[Garland`] Blackjack!  Good to see you.
[Garland`] You look...older!
[Blackjack] There's a reason for that. *laughs*
* Seraphna nodds towards Gar
[Garland`] I did miss a lot of time.
[Seraphna] WHat happened, or is this a joke.
* Hotaru-chan sighs.
* Blackjack cocks his head to the side

[DeathStar] Sera...meet Garland Hianule.  
* Garland` looks at them all, nodding
* Dias watches intrigued
[DeathStar] We found him on Earth.
* Seraphna looks at him.
[Diamondback] [You know, I'm not even going to ask... with this crew, I've learned to believe anything...]
[Eve`] But I thought he went with you?
* DeathStar stares at Garland.
[Dominator] What do you mean, found him?
* DeathStar fumes
[Seraphna] Okay... Hi... Garland...
[DeathStar] It just figures Garland isn't out here to explain it to you.
[Garland`] Crazy whore!  *greets Sera*
* DeathStar makes a face
* Seraphna blinks
[Hotaru-chan] Wha?
* Blackjack shakes his head
* Seraphna just turns and walks away
[Hotaru-chan] Garly, you lost your memory?
[Dias] .....Did...*scans Garland*
* Garland` looks at DS
[Garland`] Did I say it wrong?
* Garland steps in
[Hotaru-chan] TWO GARLANDS!?
[Garland`] *is Garland Hianule...only his power level is that of...28 years ago*
[DeathStar] Well, yeah...
[Dominator] Amazing...
[Eve`] Am I drunk again?!
[Hotaru-chan] What?
[Diamondback] [That clinches it.]
[Dias] ....What in the...He's....weaker.....
[Hotaru-chan] Is that the past Garland?
[Hotaru-chan] How...?
[Nigel_Rades] NRP: Kill 'em both!
[Hotaru-chan] Clone.
[Diamondback] [Next time, no more vodka.]
[DeathStar] This Garland was trapped for 28 years by Cruxifixtion.  Along with Sharlena.
[Garland] Soo... how the hell is everyone?
[Blackjack] ...Crux. It figures.
[Dias] ...Wait wait wait...what happened to the other Garland?
[Hotaru-chan] Confused...
[Garland`] Did I do good, Garland?  I greeted her just like you said she liked.
* Diamondback and Blackjack facepalm
* Garland smirks
* Seraphna slams her fist into the wall as she leaves, denting it in as she leaves
[Hotaru-chan] ...
[Hikaryuu] 10[3[12Ariel3]10] *sweatdrops*
* Dias see's the other Garland
[Dias] I got double vision...I don't like htis..
[Hikaryuu] 6[7[14Siawase7]6] ...Siawase confused...
[Hotaru-chan] GARLAND!!!!!!!!!!!!! *glares*
[Diamondback] [You know... this could get confusing... there was a guy named Chris in my class back home, and that was bad enough...]
* Eve` is looking confused.
[Hotaru-chan] You'd better have a damn good reason for that!
* Garland laughs, taking a step back and covering his mouth with his hand
[Garland`] I only greeted her like she liked!
* Garland` looks offended.
[Garland] Don't worry about it, Gar.
[Dias] ...Garland care to explain what happened?
* DeathStar has escaped with Katrina
* Dominator stands there, looking back and forth
[Dominator] Can you tell us who he is?
* Blackjack scratches his nose. "I'm not sure that's the best way to greet a woman, Garlands..." *laughs*
* DeathStar sneaks into the hallways.
[Garland] Sharlena: *scurries out from where Garland came* Hi!
[Hikaryuu] 10[3[12Ariel3]10] *doesn't let Katrina and DS escape without her*
* Seraphna leans against a wall in the hallways, trying to calm down
[Dominator] Sharlena!  
* DeathStar leans against a wall, taking deep breaths
[DeathStar] That hurts my head.
[Garland] Sharlena: Grandpa!
[Seraphna] Falling out of love my arse... it's become outright hatred...
* Dominator walks over to Sharlena, picking her up.
[Dominator] You look so young!
[Blackjack] They say history repeats itself. ...I'm sure this isn't what they meant...
[Hotaru-chan] Garland, you... *blinks*
[Garland] Hey, it's payback for all that crazy "get Garland back" shit you've been pulling.
[Hotaru-chan] No...
[DeathStar] Katrina: Why are there two Mr. Garlands?
[DeathStar] Don't ask.
[Garland] Sharlena: YAY! *hugs Dom's head*
* Garland` looks around the Fury
[Garland`] Man, things sure have changed since I was gone.
[Garland`] It's a shame what happened to the old HQ.
[Seraphna] Just leave me alone.
[Dias] ....Garland`, Garland...care to explain?
[Blackjack] You always were good at understatements, Garland...
* Garland looks at Dias
[Seraphna] You were the one who made me think my husband had come home.
[Garland] Explain what?
* Garland` looks at Dias.
* Seraphna walks away
[Hotaru-chan] Okay, which one of you's the clone?
[Dias] How do you...and you...
* Garland points at Garland` "He's the clone."
* Garland` nods at Garland
[Garland`] He is.
[Eve`] ...
* Diamondback leans against the wall, trying to hide the fact that the situation has given him a painful headache - and not succeeding
* Dominator raises an eyebrow.
[Nigel_Rades] NRP: Is one of them a giant crab and hte other on fire?
[Eve`] NRP: No.
[Nigel_Rades] NRP: Aww
[Hikaryuu] 6[7[14Siawase7]6] *looks at Eve, wanting to be patted*
[Hotaru-chan] ...
[DeathStar] I didn't think Sera would take Garland's greeting well.  *looks at Kat* Never tell someone "Crazy whore", okay?
Session Close: Mon Jul 22 00:00:00 2002

Session Start: Wed Jul 31 00:00:00 2002
Session Ident: #taw
[Hotaru-chan] ... and what you did wasn't?
[Diamondback] [OW!] *smashse the crate open* [...Huh? Hey, what's this?]
[DeathStar] Dias: *though out, he's not in the final process yet*
[Hotaru-chan] Still...
* Diamondback scans the material inside the crate, which appears to be a medicine of some kind
[Hik[AWAY]] 10[3[12Ariel3]10] You two risked three lives instead of just one.
[Diamondback] [What's life without risk?]
[Dias] NRP: If this was Alt, I woulda developed an anti-body for the virus by now..
* DeathStar convulses
[Hotaru-chan] ... I couldn't just let you die...
[Diamondback] [Jackpot! This is a vaccine for the poison in that Xvash!]
[Hotaru-chan] ... 
* Hotaru-chan blinks.
[Hotaru-chan] I... teleported?
[Hik[AWAY]] 10[3[12Ariel3]10] *realizes something, and grabs some of the vaccine and darts back up forward*
* Diamondback grabs the rest of the vaccine and heads back up front
[Hik[AWAY]] 10[3[12Ariel3]10] .oO( I've been more of a fool than Hotaru. That poison can be fatal! )
* Garland` dies due to lack of treatment. Isn't that sad?
[Dias] NRP: He's got 2 minutes for Ariel to give him CPR!
* Diamondback begins treating those affected
[Hik[AWAY]] 10[3[12Ariel3]10] *fumbles to treat Deathstar* DS? DS, are you okay?
* DeathStar convulses, beyond hearing.
* Hotaru-chan tries to treat Garland.
[Diamondback] [Dammit, Garland, don't die...!]
* Garland` is dead. He needs more than "treatment".
* Hotaru-chan tries to revive Garland, then.
[Hik[AWAY]] 10[3[12Ariel3]10] *starts getting the treatment right now as she forcifully calms herself* "You're too stubborn to die DS, don't give up on me and Kat..."
* Garland` is revived, barely.
[X1] NRP: He needs money. Give him some.
[Hotaru-chan] Gar... Hianule! You're back!
* Garland` seems to be forming an immunity to the virus now.
[Diamondback] [Welcome back to the land of the living...]
* Diamondback mutters under his breath and goes to treat Dias
[DeathStar] Dias: *is holding up pretty well right now*
[Hotaru-chan] .oO(I did it...)
* Hotaru-chan makes sure Garland's stabilised, before moving on to the next person.
[Hotaru-chan] .oO(I brought someone back to life...)
* DeathStar stops convulsing.
* Hotaru-chan has a huge grin on her face
[Hotaru-chan] NRP: Cheshire Catgon!
* Diamondback finishes up and stands, dusting his hands off
[DeathStar] Lucas: *rubs his face and looks around* What just happened?  He musta knocked me out.
[Hotaru-chan] Is Star okay?
[DeathStar] Dias: *is cured, thanks to DB*
[Hik[AWAY]] NRP: *DeathStar has stopped convulsing because he's dead.  Perimately.  Finito.  [Ariel IC] What?! *kills DS OOC*
[Diamondback] [You owe me.]
* Garland` lays there, healing.
* DeathStar suddenly opens his eyes and sits up, gasping in pain
[DeathStar] Ariel!
[DeathStar] Don't go to the --- *looks around*
[Hotaru-chan] ... ramp?
[Blackjack] Welcome back to the present, DS.
* Dias wakes up and swings his fists, punching DB
* DeathStar looks at all of them, feeling woozy
* Diamondback catches the fist
[DeathStar] I feel sick.
[Diamondback] [Is that any way to treat the guy that saved your life? Against his will, I might add.]
[DeathStar] GM: *suddenly the computer talks in Tsivrixsh*
[Dias] Huh...*looks around*
[Hotaru-chan] You were poisoned... huh?
[Dias] Thought you were...that tubby bastard..*rubs his head*
* DeathStar looks at the controls.
[Hik[AWAY]] 10[3[12Ariel3]10] *hugs DS tightly, smiling. The beginnings of tears cling to the corners of her eyes*
[Diamondback] [It said "dropping out of hyperspace," DS. Thought you might want to know.]
* DeathStar hugs Ariel back.
[DeathStar] I'm glad you're okay.  You had me worried.
* Hotaru-chan ... collapses.
[Hotaru-chan] x.x
* Dias pushs himself up, shaking off the wooziness
[DeathStar] GM: *the shuttle drops out of hyperspace, giving the team their first view of the Tsivrixsh homeworld*
[Diamondback] [Anyway...] *leans against a chair, exhausted*
* Hotaru-chan , however, is not able to see it.
* Hotaru-chan is unconcious.
[Diamondback] .oO{Funny how healing takes more of it out of me that fighting...}
[DeathStar] GM: *The Tsivrixsh Homeworld is slightly smaller than Earth, completely black with several light structures seen all over the planet.  Covering the planet is a giant force field, a planetary shield, and a space station off to the side seems to aid in it's power.  And before them is 2000 Tsivrixsh battleships.*
* DeathStar turns to look out the viewport, his eyes getting big
[DeathStar] Oh no.
[Diamondback] [...It... looks like they've... uh... rolled out the red carpet.]
* Garland` sits up, rubbing his face
[Garland`] I feel like I just ate some of X1's cooking.
* DeathStar stares at it, taking in the sight of the enemy's mounting forces.
[Blackjack] ...Don't mention that. *puts two fingers over his mouth*
[DeathStar] GM: *off to the side looks to be a giant platform with several big ass cannons on it*
* Dias begins copying down everything he see's in his eye memory
[X1] NRP: My cooking is fine! It's the coffee that's horrendous
[DeathStar] GM: *three moons orbit the planet and they all seem to be teeming with life, also.  Yet none of them seem to have a shield*
[Hik[AWAY]] 10[3[12Ariel3]10] *seems to be looking for... something*
[Hik[AWAY]] NRP: Emily] Hey look!  It's Endor!
[DeathStar] GM: *the commlink beeps, an incoming call*
[DeathStar] ...they're hailing us.
[Dias] ..We still got Dom's Tsiv translator?
[Diamondback] [Answer. I'll translate.]
[DeathStar] We'd probably have to give clearance codes.
[X1] NRP: [GM] *the ship is assulted by hail*
[Diamondback] [Good point. Um...]
[DeathStar] I guess we should run now.
[Dias] I think we've seen enough.
* DeathStar grabs the controls, entering the location of the Fury.
[Blackjack] Might be a good idea.
[DeathStar] Shame Hotaru missed this.
* Garland` stares at the planet.
[DeathStar] Lucas: *stares at it* Ooo.
[Hotaru-chan] ... wha...
* Hotaru-chan gets up.
[Hotaru-chan] My head hurts...
* DeathStar hits a button and they leap into hyperspace.
* DeathStar looks at the others.
[DeathStar] Mission accomplished, thanks to the efforts of a fine crew.
[Hotaru-chan] ... what was that wierd planet?
[DeathStar] Our destiny.
[Dias] They've probably sent shuttles after us...
* DeathStar grabs Ariel in a hug.
[Blackjack] You have a warped definition of "fine," DS. *kicks back*
[Hotaru-chan] I didn't steal... wait, yeah...
[Hotaru-chan] Owww.... I thought it was a hangover...
[Hotaru-chan] ... bulkheads hurt... ;.;
* DeathStar stares at Hotaru
[Hotaru-chan] I hit my head on the cargo bay bulkhead...
[Hotaru-chan] I think...
* DeathStar glances at DB
* Diamondback looks at DS, hands behind his head
[DeathStar] Not going to ask.

[Snipe] So the year is 2207...?
*** Dias is now known as Slasher
[Slasher] Yes'm
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] Uh huh.
[Snipe] I've been dead 7 years?
[Slasher] Technically..
[Snipe] That's kind of creepy.
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] From temporal continuality's standing point, yes.
[Snipe] Temporal whooza?
[Slasher] Exactly. *pats Snipe on the back*
[Snipe] ...Slasher, eeee, don't touch me when you're not wearing any clothes.
[Slasher] ....*looks down* Oh shit that's right...
* Slasher walks over to the captains chair and pulls a pair of boxers from underneath them, slipping them on quickly
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] *laughs*
[Slasher] Thought I felt a draft...Just been so damn comfortable naked lately...Hard habit to break.
[Snipe] Chip: I've been scarred for life.
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] Poor Chip, would it make you feel better if I went around topless?
[Snipe] Chip: Yes.  Please.  I beg you.
* Snipe nods.
[Slasher] Hey atleast you still don't have marks..
[Snipe] Uh huh, uh huh.
* Slasher baps Snipe across the back of the head
[Snipe] OW!
[Slasher] Put your tongue back in your mouth boy..
[Snipe] Hey, Cheryl's hot.
[Slasher] And taken...You go back to your furry lil animal women..
* Snipe makes a face and looks to the side, not having anything to say.
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] *gets bored, and actually takes off her shirt for the helluvit*
* Snipe gives a thumbs up.
[Snipe] Chip: Hoo haw.
* Slasher covers Snipe's eyes
[Snipe] But, daddy, I want to see mommy without her shiiiirt on.
* Slasher hands Snipe a porno mag
[Snipe] Ehhh, thanks.
[Slasher] Snipe, for your 'Welcome Back, Your Alive' gift...I've built you something..
[Slasher] Don't get it sticky..
* Snipe tugs at his uncomfortable standard white outfit
[Snipe] I hate this thing.
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] *crosses her arms under her breasts* What? You rather look at pictures than the real thing?
[Slasher] Go change in your room...
* Slasher looks up at Cheryl and smirks
* Snipe looks at the computer station
[Snipe] Chip, you're recording this aren't you?  Please, tell me you are.
[Slasher] He has been dead for awhile, he shoud really go clean the water works.
[Snipe] Ha, ha, ha.
[Slasher] You go change, Me and Cheryl will meet you down on Deck 3
[Snipe] Change?  Into what?
[Snipe] Chip: Film at 11.
[Slasher] Whatever you feel comfortable in..
[Snipe] My old clothes.
[Slasher] I brought 'em with...Moths chewed some holes...but whatever..
[Snipe] I'm not wearing 7 year old clothes, thank you.
* Snipe waves Slasher off.
[Snipe] Go down to Deck 3.
* Slasher walks over to Cheryl
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] You'll have to wait until we get back, or go naked then.
[Slasher] Shall we my bare-breasted amazon!
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] *heads down*
[Slasher] ....Wait up!! *runs after her*
* Snipe crosses arms as he stands there alone in the control room
[Snipe] Why can't anyone at Origin ever run around without their shirts on?  Noooo, stupid standards.
[Snipe] Chip: Origin was destroyed.
[Snipe] Well fuck, you die for seven years and the world goes to hell.
[Slasher] NRP: Geeze talk to yourself..
* Snipe walks down to Deck 3 later, still wearing the white outfit. He stands there.
* Slasher stands outside a doorwar waiting
* Snipe crosses his arms as he looks at Slasher.
[Snipe] Remind me again why I'm here and not sleeping?
[Slasher] Just step through the door..
* Snipe steps into the room
[Slasher] MiniGM: *inside the room, is an exact copy of the training room back on Origin, the lines glow blue along the panels*
[Snipe] ...it's a training room.  Nice.  Why am I hear again?
* Slasher taps on his comm pad and a dummy appears
[Slasher] ...Punch this dummy..
* Snipe punches Slasher, with enough impact to knock the wind out of him.
[Snipe] Alrighty.
* Slasher coughs
[Slasher] ..Smar...t ass...
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] *glares at Snipe, fire literally burning in her eyes*
[Snipe] Uh, heh, heh, he told...I'm shutting up.
[Slasher] Well...*catches his breath* Being dead for 7 years seems to not have taken that much of a toll on your body...surprising..
[Snipe] I feel just like I did before the virus got me in the end.  Except something's missing.
[Slasher] Oh..that'd be the virus..
[Snipe] Not the virus, I know that's missing, there's something else missing.
[Slasher] ....Is it a void?
[Snipe] No.  It's feels like I'm lacking something I had.  But I can't think of what.
* Slasher taps onto his comm pad and a blue light begins to pass over Snipe, it quickly fades away after reading his stats
[Slasher] Probably, the same thing Dias went through..
[Slasher] Wow...your a lot stronger than before...How the hell do you get stronger from dieing..
* Snipe teardrops
[Snipe] Actually, I kind of got stronger around the time I went back to Earth.
[Snipe] I always thought it was the virus, but I'm lacking the virus now, aren't I?
[Slasher] Really? Never noticed a difference..
[Slasher] Yep, completely gone, they cured it like last year..
* Snipe seems to be thinking as he stands there.
* Slasher types onto his comm pad, several orbs appear
[Slasher] Let's test your reflexes...*one of the orbs fires a blast right at Snipes right foot*
[Snipe] EEK!
* Snipe leaps back.
[Slasher] *the other one fires as Snipe leaps*
* Snipe steps to the side, same surprised reaction.
[Slasher] MiniGM: *the first orb fires several shots all around Snipe*
* Snipe holds up his hands, but instead of anything happening, he just gets hit.
[Slasher] ....*presses a on his comm pad and the orbs stop*
* Snipe waves his hand.
[Snipe] I wish I could remember what it is I feel like I'm missing.
* Slasher rubs the bridge of his nose
[Slasher] You don't remember?
[Snipe] Not really.
[Snipe] It feels like swiss cheese up here.
* Snipe taps his head.
* Slasher thinks
[Slasher] Cheryl dear, do you have any psionics?
* Snipe narrows his eyes as he begins to remember something
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] *shakes her head* "Not my field of expertise."
[Snipe] Psionics?  Oh, yes, I had something to counter that, right?
[Slasher] Aye....You were able to null it out completely.
[Slasher] Do you remember any other of your fighting techniques?
[Snipe] Nope.  Though I do remember how to use a gun.
[Slasher] Try to remember how to bring up your anti-psionics aura..
[Snipe] Chip: This is interesting
[Slasher] Chip, can this training room, simulate psionics?
* Snipe looks at Slasher with a look, closes his eyes, and stands there.
[Snipe] Chip: I didn't design it, how should I know?
[Slasher] You have access to it..
[Snipe] Chip: Oh, right, heh, silly me.  --- *pauses* YOU designed it, you should know, too!
* Snipe keeps standing there with his eyes closed.
[Slasher] ...*looks back and forth* Hey look at the time...
[Slasher] *walks to a fridge that he had installed and pulls out an apple, placing it on Snipe's head*
* Snipe rocks back and forth with a smile on his face.
[Slasher] *slaps Snipe*
[Snipe] OW!
[Snipe] What?
[Slasher] You were getting happy with that apple..
[Snipe] Actually I was picturing Cheryl without her shirt on.  *looks over at her* Hey, look, it's true.
* Slasher pulls out a second apple and sets it on a table that he brings up
[Slasher] Try to make apple sauce with your anti-psionics
[Snipe] ...how the hell do I make apple sauce with my anti-psionics?
* Slasher starts typing things on his comm-pad
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] *idly starts practicing on a training dummy*
* Snipe watches Cheryl, ignoring Slasher.
[Slasher] I don't know, but you have...5 minutes before the bridge your standing on disappears and you fall in that pool of ice.
[Snipe] O-kay.  *keeps watching Cheryl*
* Slasher looks at Snipe
[Slasher] ...Make that 2 minutes..
[Snipe] Chip: I got it.  Yes, you have a psionic program in here.
[Snipe] *dreamily* Okay.
[Slasher] ...*erases the bridge and table, the apple falling to the ground* Activate it Chip..
[Snipe] Chip: *activates the training dummy, which looks strangely like DB on crack*
* Snipe stares at the dummy.
[Snipe] Diamondback?
[Slasher] ...*slides next to Snipe* Ready to feel some pain?
[Snipe] From HIM?
* Slasher smiles
* Slasher slides back
* Snipe gets into a defensive stance
[Snipe] At least I won't hear his taunts if he says anything. 
[Slasher] DiamondBack: *looks around as the room wavers and changes into a grassy knoll*
[Slasher] DB: *throws his hand up*
[Slasher] MiniGM: *seconds later the ground rips up around Snipe as a psionic shockwave erupts from underhim*
[Snipe] You're not quite so...boastful as usual, Diamondback.
[Snipe] WHA?!
* Snipe leaps to the side.
*** Diamondback has joined #taw2
* Snipe stares at DB, then looks at the ground
[Snipe] You just ruined a perfectly good hologram generated hill.
[Diamondback] [It's my style.]
[Snipe] And you act just like the real DB, too.
[Diamondback] [...I'd agree, but I'd be complementing Slasher.]
[Slasher] Oh Snipe dear, this one's got about...2x the psionic power that your remember..
[Slasher] ....Stupid AI program..
[Snipe] Complimenting Slasher?  Heh heh.
* Snipe pauses and looks at Slasher.
[Snipe] How is he talking?  His mouth isn't moving.
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] Telepathy
[Snipe] I see...
* Snipe looks a bit disturbed, then motions at DB.
[Snipe] Bring it on.  Lets see if I remember how pathetic you are.
[Slasher] ...*smiles knowing the world of pain that Snipe will be feeling soon*\
[Diamondback] [As you wish.]
[Snipe] And try to hit Slasher if you can.
[Diamondback] [As you wish. *laughs*]
[Slasher] HEY!!
* Diamondback disappears
* Snipe holds up arms and looks around.
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] *growls a little* Anyone that hits Slasher, I hit back!
[Snipe] I forgot that Diamondback...got that ultimate psionic force.
* Snipe looks at Slasher.
[Slasher] Heheheee *laughs to himself*
[Slasher] What?
* Snipe looks at Slasher.
[Slasher] Behind you..
[Snipe] He's really powerful already!
* Slasher points
* Snipe looks behind him.
* Diamondback reappears - exactly where he left from, and fires a blast at Snipe
* Snipe is hit and sent sliding back.
[Snipe] ...pain...
* Snipe attempts to push himself up.
[Snipe] Nice move.  But you know I can block your psionics.  You have no chance, Diamondback.
[Diamondback] [We'll see.]
* Slasher stands there filing his finger nails as he watches
* Snipe flips to his feet.
* Snipe runs at DB.
* Diamondback tenses
* Snipe throws a fast punch at DB's head.
[Snipe] I'm stronger and faster than you, all I have to do is avoid your blasts.
* Diamondback throws up his forearm to block, enhancing his strength slightly
* Snipe flips into the air and lands behind DB, kicking out at him.
* Diamondback falls flat on the ground, swinging his leg around to sweep Snipe
* Snipe is sweeped, but as he falls, he rolls, presses his hands against the ground, and pushes off, landing on his feet.
[Snipe] [He's good, he's good!]
* Diamondback flips up, teleporting in mid-air, and sets down across the field from Snipe
[Slasher] DB, hit him with psionics..
[Diamondback] [...Since when could you use telepathy? Eh, no matter.]
[Diamondback] [Oh, right.]
[Snipe] ...what?!  How did you read my mind!?
* Snipe steps back.
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] *thinks of something and grins broadly*
* Slasher looks over at Cheryl
[Diamondback] [Worry later. Fight now.]
[Slasher] What's turnin your fancy love?
* Snipe runs at DB.
[Snipe] Grrrr.
* Diamondback throws his arms skyward, erupting a blast from the ground under Snipe
* Snipe is hit and sent flying up.
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] I think that virus might have been causing a polarity inversion of Snipe's powers...
* Diamondback swings his right arm around and fires a blast at the airborne Snipe
[Slasher] ...Possible.
[Slasher] But his body should still 'remember' it, he just needs to unlock it.
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] *shrugs* He's been post-mortus so long, who knows.
* Snipe is hit again and sent flying
[Slasher] True dat..
[Diamondback] [What's wrong with you, John? Block it!]
* Snipe smashes against the ground, obviously in pain
[Snipe] Ca-Can't..
[Slasher] Try to remember how it feels Snipe...
* Snipe closes his eyes.
[Snipe] I think I see a bright light.
[Diamondback] NRP: That would be the blast heading for your face.
* Slasher looks over at DB and nods
* Snipe forces himself up, opening his eyes.
[Snipe] Try that again.
* Snipe wipes some blood off his lip.
* Diamondback nods, and sends a weaker blast flying at Snipe
* Snipe holds up his arm and goes to bat the blast. It hits him and sends him stumbling back.
* Slasher watches
[Slasher] ...He's remember Cheryl...
[Slasher] NRP: remembering
[Snipe] [Can you heaaar me.  I'm going to kiiiick you' aaaaaass]
[Diamondback] [Yes, I can, and no, it doesn't look like you are.]
* Snipe runs at DB.
* Snipe throws a punch at his face.
* Diamondback teleports behind Snipe and crosses his arms
[Snipe] Okay, check, I can't block psionics.  But I can beat you.
* Snipe whips around and kicks.
* Diamondback puts up a psionic shield to deflect the kick
* Snipe bounces back.
* Snipe points
[Snipe] Alright, Mr. I'm Psionic God, you're going to get it now!!!
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] *stretches* I should work on my grappling some time...
* Slasher looks at her and winks
* Snipe punches at him.
* Diamondback phases back
[Snipe] Grrr.
* Snipe seems to be getting angry.
[Diamondback] [If you shut down my psionics, you'll have a better chance, you know.]
[Snipe] I WOULD IF I COULD!
* Snipe begins to throw faster punches.
* Diamondback continues moving back, blocking
[Diamondback] [Check this one out.] *swings his foot forward, launching a blast from it*
* Snipe gets hit.
[Slasher] ....Snipe...Push yourself harder!
[Snipe] Alright, DB...
[Diamondback] [...If you don't do something soon, I'm going to have to beat you, you know.]
[Snipe] Hit me with the strongest blast you can generate.
* Snipe steps back, frowning, knowing he's probably asking for another chance at dying.
[Diamondback] [...No way.]
* Snipe points at Slasher.
[Snipe] Knock out that "No way program"!
[Snipe] Chip: *mocks* No way.
* Slasher looks at and Snipe and smiles, and turns to DB
[Slasher] Do it!
[Diamondback] [...Ok. Being a computer program has certain problems with it...]
[Snipe] NRP: *DB the computer program fires and kills Snipe all over again*  Slasher: Dammit to hell, you know how much trouble I went through to get him back in the first place?
* Diamondback charges energy into both of his hands
[Diamondback] [I hope you two know what you're doing.]
* Snipe looks a bit worried, but quickly masks it.
[Snipe] I never do.
[Slasher] You can do this Snipe...plus I'll show you were you new clothes are..
[Diamondback] [That's exactly what I'm afraid of.]
* Snipe holds his hands forward
[Snipe] KIAMA!  *nothing happens* Okay, I could wish.
* Diamondback draws his arms back and yells, throwing them forward to launch a rather large blast forward
* Slasher begins scanning Snipe for any energy anomolies
* Snipe stands there and keeps his hands forward, letting the blast impact on him and eventually engulf him.
* Slasher waits for the blast to disappear
* Snipe stands there after the blast is finished, looking charred and burnt.
[Snipe] Ow.
* Diamondback pants
* Snipe falls over.
* Slasher walks over to Snipe
[Snipe] So much for...*cough* plan.
[Diamondback] [...Oops... told you.]
* Slasher hands Snipe his data pad
* Snipe sits up and looks at it.
[Slasher] You'll find it interesting..
[Snipe] Let me see---*pause* 
[Slasher] The room monitors everyone in it...
[Snipe] Hey, check out Cheryl's energy!
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] Huh?
[Slasher] Any change in their body shows up..Now you know why I'm so damn tired.
[Snipe] Great stamina, Cheryl!
* Snipe gives her a thumbs up, then winces in pain.
[Snipe] Anyway, let me see, Diamondback's blast was a power level of 900...it hit me at a level of 900, but it weakened down to 700.  Okay...?
* Diamondback teleports behind Snipe and looks over his shoulder
[Slasher] ....You were starting to observe it
[Slasher] NRP: Absorb
[Snipe] Could be a glitch.
[Snipe] I sure didn't feel shit.
[Slasher] ...*laughs in his face*
* Snipe laughs back, then winces in pain
[Snipe] I'm sorry to say, there's no real reason for me to do this.  I had a reason last time I gained my powers.
* Snipe stands up.
* Diamondback gets bumped in the nose by Snipe's shoulder and falls back
[Snipe] Er, oops.
[Snipe] Sorry.
[Slasher] What was your reason?
[Snipe] Well, I was pissed off I was in the regeneration tube while everyone else was risking their lives fighting Conviction/Sigma.
[Diamondback] [No problem... ow.] *rubs his nose and stands*
[Snipe] I had to go help.
[Snipe] [Moooo]
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] You're not a cow snipe.
[Slasher] Well think of this...your friends need your help now..
* Snipe leans against Slasher
[Snipe] Re-heh-ly?
[Slasher] We need to piss you off..
* Snipe holds his shoulder.
[Snipe] Sorry, I'm in a good mood, ain't happin'.
* Snipe stretches and turns to DB, holding out his hand
[Snipe] You're a pretty good AI program.
[Diamondback] [Hmm.]
* Diamondback shakes Snipe's hand
[Snipe] Lets say we kill the real DB and replace you as him?
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] *baps Snipe*
[Snipe] Ow!
[Slasher] Chip, open up the Convinction program..
[Snipe] Chip: O-kay.  *Conviction appears in the room*
[Snipe] Looks, it's good ol' baldy in disguise.
* Snipe looks at Slasher and sighs
[Slasher] No? Not a lil angry?
[Snipe] Can't we just drop this?  I'm still a good fighter, even without my old abilities.
[Snipe] No, I'm not angry.  He's pathetic.
* Slasher deletes Convinction
[Slasher] ...Any idea Cheryl?
[Diamondback] [Hey Snipe, Dias chewed up your favorite shoes!]
* Snipe gets a funny look
[Snipe] When can I see Dias again?
[Diamondback] [Eh, I tried...]
[Slasher] When you get pissed off..
* Snipe looks at Slasher.
[Snipe] Well, we'll be here a while.
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] Well, I would let John watch next time I take a shower if it would be incentive for him.
[Snipe] I've been dead 7 years.  There's nothing you can say that will piss me off.
[Snipe] Duh--duh..
[Diamondback] [Duh... duh...]
[Snipe] Only if the AI here can watch with me.
[Snipe] Chip: Can I watch?
[Slasher] It's a shame....
[Slasher] Right after you left...Elayne...well..
[Snipe] ...
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] If Snipe can pull it off, yes.
[Snipe] Took Grave, I know.
* Snipe crosses his arms and looks to the side, trying to remember things and just looking annoyed.
[Snipe] Hell, she was taking Grave before I even had my foot in my own grave.
[Slasher] ....Wonder if there first child is due yet..
[Diamondback] .oO{Ooh, low blow.}
[Snipe] ...
[Snipe] Whatever.
* Snipe looks even more annoyed and glances at the wall.
[Snipe] I'm going to go to sleep if you guys are done.
[Slasher] And you know, I don't think I've seen Elayne happier..
[Snipe] Oh, why shouldn't she be?  All she wanted was kids.  I bet Grave's just PLEASED as hell to be used as a babymaker.  
[Slasher] She just talks and talks, as if you guys never meants nayhthing
* Snipe grabs Slasher
[Snipe] Look, I don't fucking care about the whore, shut up!
[Diamondback] [Looks to me like you do, Johnathan McCormick.]
[Slasher] I mean, you loved her so much, and then she just goes and nails the next guy.. I mean like you mant nothing whatsever..As if oyu were just a toy on a rope
* Snipe lets Slasher go, bitterly
[Snipe] Yeah, I guess you're fucking right.  Ha ha, jokes on John.  John, the ladiesman, gets played by Elayne just because SHE wanted a kid.  Yeah, fucking laugh it up.  I'm a riot, aren't I!?  Aren't I!?
[Diamondback] *to Slasher* [I think anger and annoyance are two different things.]
* Snipe punches the floor
[Snipe] I'm a fucking riot, aren't I, Slasher?
* Slasher looks up
[Slasher] Well actually some of the jokes she told about you and your...ahem...
* Snipe grabs Slasher
[Snipe] You know what?  Maybe I'm not the only one, you fool.  I bet Cheryl's playing you right now.  You're just the flavor of the week, I bet.
* Slasher doesnt' seem phased
[Slasher] Well atleast she kept coming back for more...
[Slasher] Or atleast my flavor pleases her..
* Snipe lets Slasher go and turns to walk out.
[Slasher] DB, now..
* Snipe heads for the door.
* Diamondback throws a psionic wall up in Snipe's way
[Diamondback] [Not so fast, lover boy.]
[Snipe] ...ha ha ha, throw up a fucking psionic wall, DB?  Oh, yeah, Snipe lost his power, why not keep him trapped by the thing he could stop.
[Snipe] Well, fucking laugh at this!  Watch me fucking punch it.
* Snipe punches it and absorbs it into himself.
[Snipe] How do you like that, DB?!
* Snipe turns and negates all his power.
* Slasher smiles
[Snipe] Like that?!
* Snipe runs at DB and throws a punch
[Diamondback] *hits a mental block* I... yipe!
* Diamondback jumps out of the way
[Snipe] Where's the jokes now, DB?  
* Snipe throws another punch.
[Diamondback] Hey! Whoa!
* Diamondback jumps backwards
* Snipe appears behind DB and throws a kick at his back.
[Snipe] Laugh it up.
* Diamondback doesn't even see Snipe and takes the hit full on, and goes rolling into the ground
* Snipe turns his attention to Slasher and all of Db's power is restored
* Slasher looks at Snipe
[Slasher] You did it..
[Snipe] Enjoying pulling MY strings, Slasher?!  *suddenly all of Slasher's equipment loses power*
[Diamondback] ...You know, I don't ev[en know if I should bother getting up...?]
[Slasher] ....*looks down* What the..*hits his data pad*
[Snipe] Take some readings now!
* Snipe runs at Slasher.
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] *tackles Snipe* Cool it John!
[Diamondback] [Uh, I think we've created a madman, Slasher...]
[Snipe] OUF!
* Snipe stumbles as all of Slasher's equipment comes back on.
[Slasher] ....*looks at Cheryl, then Snipe, then at his equipment* Holy shit..
[Snipe] Chip: What was that?  I just lost all sensors in there!
[Slasher] ...Snipe...*walks over to him*
* Slasher helps Cheryl up then pull Snipe up*
* Snipe breathes, looking at Slasher, pissed.
[Diamondback] [Looks like we accomplished more than I'd hoped...]
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] *looks down at Snipe as he's pinned to the ground* Just cool it Jown, I'm the only hothead here.
[Snipe] Right, right.  I'm fine.
[Snipe] I'm just going to walk out and don't stop me.
[Slasher] ....I think you just...umm..
[Diamondback] [Works for me... I hope you learn to control that, though...]
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] *sits on Snipe's legs, but let's him set up* Look. I want to clear some things up with you first.
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] First I have a question... Can you control what you just did?
* Snipe looks at Cheryl, realizing she's still without her shit on.
[Snipe] Huh?  Control what?
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] You absorbed a large ammount of psychic energy, then blocked DB's and Slasher's power. Can you do that at will?
[Slasher] I think we found out what we need to train you on Snipe..
[Snipe] Uh, let me see.
* Snipe stands up.
[Snipe] What should I try to do first?
[Diamondback] [Here. Nullify me.]
[Snipe] Well, I've always been good at psionics.
* Diamondback channels psionic energy into his body, but doesn't do anything with it
* Snipe waves his hand and DB's energy is negated.
[Diamondback] *shivers* ...Ok, now give it back...
* Snipe hands it back to DB as he looks at Cheryl
[Slasher] ...Now try this...*begins gathering Chi*
[Snipe] There, I can control that just fine.
[Snipe] [Booya, DB]
* Snipe holds out his hand, concentrating. Slasher's power is canceled out, but it's clear that Snipe's not too mobile right now.
* Diamondback sends psionic energy coursing through his body
* Slasher tries gathering it but to no avail
[Slasher] ....What the...
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] *smiles and kisses Snipe on the forehead* Good. You two get to watch at shower time.
[Slasher] How the hell did you..
[Snipe] Whoo hoo!  *Slasher gets his power back*
[Snipe] Er, oops, lost my concentration.
[Diamondback] [Now you know how it fe... duh... duh...]
[Snipe] Chip: Duh...duh
* Slasher stop gather Chi
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] Secondly... What Slasher said about Elayne... It was all lies. Grave went missing about seven years ago, I don't think Elayne is even seeing anyone currently, much less expecting children.
[Snipe] ...I see.
* Slasher smiles at Snipe and waves
* Snipe scowls and looks to the side
[Snipe] Well, that's too bad.
[Slasher] Sorry I had to trick you...last attempt..
[Diamondback] .oO{Though the real me is trying... eesh.}
[Snipe] I pity you.
[Slasher] NRP: How would he know....
[Snipe] You'll have 12 kids in the next 7 years.
[Slasher] Me?
[Snipe] Him.  If he hooks up with Elayne.
[Diamondback] NRP: I'm assuming this AI is made on recent memory banks. It's not exactly private knowledge that DB is putting the moves on Elayne.
[Slasher] That's horrible...
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] *scratches her head* I don't know if I can breed as fast as my sister.
* Snipe leans against Cheryl
[Snipe] I could help you find out.
[Diamondback] [Hey, it's not me. Talk to the real DB.]
[Slasher] ...Snipe don't make me sick the badgers on you..
* Snipe leans against the wall
[Snipe] So, why can't I do my old moves, still?  Like throw blasts and stuff.
[Slasher] You'll be a war hero after this Snipe, War Hero's always get the girl
[Snipe] And why am I canceling out things besides Psionics?
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] *laughs* I think I'm too old for you Snipe. Go talk to my niece and her girlfriend. They bawled their eyes out when you died.
[Slasher] ..Maybe you haven't developed those powers yet...Maybe you never did..
[Snipe] Who are they?
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] Emily and Hotaru?
[Snipe] ...Emily and Hotaru....I remember them...
[Snipe] They cried for me?
[Slasher] We all did Snipe..*rests his hand on his shoulder*
[Snipe] Why do I somehow doubt THAT.
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] *smirks* I think they both loved you.
* Snipe blinks at Cheryl
[Slasher] Which is quite strange since they love each other...right?
[Snipe] I doubt that.  I was just their annoying commanding officer.
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] *shrugs* What? So I read their diaries.
[Snipe] [Hey, DB, the real you will be glad I can hear him again]
* Snipe taps the side of his head.
[Snipe] I almost forgot what this was like.
[Slasher] You should rest Snipe...
[Diamondback] [Yeah. Poor guy, his accent is horrid.] *laughs*
[Snipe] I'm not sleepy.  Strangely I'm not in pain anymore from DB's psionic blasts.
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] I think Emily said something like she never got to tell you how much she loved you... Or was that Hotaru. One of them. *she nudges Snipe* You could get quite the threesome going there John.
[Snipe] IT left when I absorbed his psionic wall.
* Snipe gets this faraway look as he pictures that.
[Slasher] ....Really? *looks at Cheryl* Ooooh...Go Snipe!
* Snipe shakes his head and smiles guiltly.
[Snipe] I think I'll try to avoid any relationships from now on.  
[Slasher] Like hell you will..Your gonna have 10 children damnt...
[Snipe] I think not.  
[Slasher] I didn't transfer my remainin years into your body for no damn reason. Plus I want to be a Godfather!
[Snipe] I'm not having kids!
* Slasher glares at Snipe
* Snipe points at Slasher
[Slasher] Your having kids, and that's final
[Snipe] I was happy being dead!
[Slasher] That's it! *hits a button his his datapad and several badgers appear*
[Diamondback] [EEP!] *disappears*
[Snipe] ...wonder if I can cancel out their biting.
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] *grins* Bet you a hundred creds that the two girls will jump you and kiss you all over when you show your face again.
* Snipe rubs his chin
[Slasher] *the badgers advance towards Snipe, one biting Snipe's on the ass*
[Snipe] Then I need a fancy outfit and a great opening line.
[Snipe] YEOW!
[Snipe] Chip: I sense...evil!  Wait, it's just the badgers.
[Diamondback] *reappears in mid-air* [And some bandages. That's gonna leave a mark.]
* Snipe crosses his arms and negates all of Slasher's equipment again
[Snipe] Bitch.
[Slasher] ...HEY!!! *smacks Snipe upside the head*
[Snipe] OW!  *loses concentration and it all comes back on*
[Slasher] .....That's strange
[Diamondback] [When you can do that without concentrating... yikes.] *kicks back, floating*
[Snipe] It takes a lot of energy and concentration if I do it on anything other than psionics.
[Snipe] Not very useful if I was on my own.
[Slasher] Hmmm...We'll see waht we can do about that.
[Diamondback] [Which screws we enhanced over.] *turns over*
* Snipe winks at Cheryl
[Snipe] What's YOUR special ability?
* Diamondback starts, looks up, and loses his concentration enough to crash into the ground
* Slasher smacks Snipe again
[Snipe] Ow!
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] *poses sexily* Well... I can't help but admit I can do a helluva job distracting some people...
[Snipe] Perhaps that'll work when we're fighting the Tsivrixshs.
* Snipe punches the air, leaving slight psionic trails of energy as he does so.
[Snipe] ...wha?
* Snipe looks at his fist.
[Snipe] I'm still using that absorbed energy it seems?
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] Not to mention I have a big flaming sword?
[Slasher] ...Nice
[Snipe] Like Azrael?
[Diamondback] [...This gets more and more interesting... I need to learn to do that.]
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] That sort of thing, yeah. But darker flames, and a touch more evil.
[Snipe] Mmm, evil Cheryl.
* Slasher bats Snipe again
[Snipe] OW!
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] *smiles and winks* We bad girls have all the fun.
* Diamondback just lies there
[Snipe] Did DS and Ariel ever end up married?
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] Not yet. Most of the hunters are missing seven years of their lives as well. Dimension travel can do that some time.
* Slasher looks at Snipe
[Snipe] *to Diamondback* [Picture Ariel and Cheryl together.]
* Snipe looks innocent
* Diamondback gets a distant look in his eyes - then transmits the picture into Snipe's mind
* Snipe gets that distant look, too
* Slasher smacks Snipe, so hard he sends him sprawling to the ground
* Snipe hits the ground
[Snipe] OW!
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] If you're thinking about me and my sis... I doubt my sis would go for something like that.
[Snipe] We could get her drunk.
[Diamondback] [Note she said "her sis..."] *grins uncharacteristicly*
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] That wouldn't be easy.
[Snipe] I'm sure if we paid DS enough...
[Hikaryuu] 5[6[4Cheryl6]5] She doesn't drunk that much. Something about virtue. *shrugs* Virtue? What's the use of that.
* Slasher smirks at the comment on Virtue
[Snipe] See, that's why we pay DS to trick her into getting drunk.  I'm sure she trusts DS.
* Diamondback goes wide-eyed
[Diamondback] .oO{Poor Slasher. Whoa.}
[Snipe] At least Slasher's wearing clothes for once.
* Snipe looks at Slasher.
[Snipe] That's about as unvirtue as one can get.
[Diamondback] [...Stop reading my mind!]
[Snipe] Huh?  I wasn't!
[Diamondback] [...No comment. None at all.]
* Diamondback goes back to picturing Ariel and Cheryl
* Snipe remains on the floor.
[Snipe] Session Ends
*** Snipe is now known as DeathStar
[Hikaryuu] Okay, Cheryl is twisted @.@
[Slasher] night
*** Slasher has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
[DeathStar] But I like it!
[DeathStar] I think I'll have Snipe playfully flirt with Cheryl from now on.
[Hikaryuu] I think she's twice his age
[Diamondback] And DB'll just get that distant look.
[DeathStar] He was born the year the Maverick Hunters formed - 2179
*** Diamondback is now known as Sherin-Sleepin
[Hikaryuu] How old is he? o.O
[DeathStar] Counting the 7 year gap?
[Hikaryuu] Yeah
[DeathStar]  2207
[DeathStar] - 2179
[DeathStar] Er.
[DeathStar] 2207
[DeathStar] Er.
[DeathStar]  2207
[DeathStar] -2179
[DeathStar] ----
[DeathStar] 28
[DeathStar] But body/mentally, he's 22.
* Hikaryuu wonders if he could find Cheryl's birthdate...
[DeathStar] I don't think I ever had it
[Hikaryuu] Well, it depends on what you use as Cheryl's birthdate
[DeathStar] I just know Cheryl was around in 2180 as a duplicate of Ariel
[Hikaryuu] Well, she wasn't really a duplicate.  She was a manifestation of a different part of Ariel's personality.
[Hikaryuu] So you have to choose between when she first started to be able to seperate from Ariel or when she became completely seperate from Ariel for a birthdate
[Hikaryuu] One of those dates makes her younger than Snipe, the other makes her about twice his age.
[DeathStar] Hm
[Hikaryuu] Or you could use Ariel's birthdate and she'd be 10x his age
[DeathStar] Depends on when she started keeping memories for hersef.
[Hikaryuu] Well, when she could first seperate from Ariel, she'd aquire her own memories, but they'd mix back with Ariel when she joined again.
[DeathStar] Right,
[DeathStar] So, I'd say, when she stopped mixing her memories back with Ariel.
[Hikaryuu] So technically she's younger than Snipe
[DeathStar] Woot!
[DeathStar] Still, going after older women is fun
[DeathStar] I'm off to bed.  Night
*** DeathStar is now known as Gone
[Hikaryuu] G'night
[Gone] Just look at DS.  He's 100 something and he's still going after a woman older than himself.
[Hikaryuu] Maturity wise, Ariel is only in her early 20s... Though she is mature for her age.
[Gone] DS' maturity level cannot be judged.
[Gone] It changes depending on the situation
