[20:03] <13@Kit> Stardate: Morning, unknown.
[20:03] <13@Kit> Location: Beneath the Tree of Life
04[20:04] <13@Kit> 6Tsukiyomi eyes Jennifer, tilting her head, then looks to Crys who blurts out "Th-The key...?"
09[20:04] <13Jennifer> "The key? Huh? Her name's Tsukiyomi."
[20:05] <13@Kit> <Tsukiyomi> Key." 6She muses. 1"Key. Key. Key."
[20:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon moves over to stand by Kane
04[20:05] <13@Kit> 6Crys makes a face, then looks at Jennifer.
[20:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* X steps out of a ripple behind Tsukiyomi. "Should not wander off."
[20:05] <13@Kit> 6Tsukiyomi's face goes solemn and pale, looking to X. 1"Moon. Gone."
15[20:05] * 13Jennifer looks at X and smiles. "She didn't get into any trouble."
[20:05] <13@DeathStar> <X> Moon?
09[20:06] <13Jennifer> "...Moon?"
[20:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl opens the door to the room she's in and moves over to leap on top of CHii to wake her up
[20:06] <13@Kit> 6Tsukiyomi brings a hand up, holding it up toward the ceiling, as if it were the sky. 1"...No moon."
[20:06] <13@DeathStar> <X> Have to go outside to see the moon
[20:06] <13@Kit> 6Tsukiyomi nods to X. 1"Yes. Outside."
15[20:06] * 13@Kane` glances to Lemon and offers her a smile.
[20:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* John hits on a local native female
[20:07] <13@Kit> 6Dawn arrives to the small group now from down the hall a ways, already dressed and in gear. He tilts his head to peer in at them.
15[20:07] * 13Jennifer looks to Crys and X.
[20:07] <13Dias`> 6Dias sits down whereever the foods at, munching away.
[20:07] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...she's learning fast. But she still has a long way to go..."
[20:07] <13@Kit> 6Chii shrieks down the hall. 1"...O-Okay, you can untie me now."
15[20:07] * 13Jennifer nearly falls over when she notices Raquel.
[20:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snickers, reaching over to do so - she left an egg with Chii all night long, too.
[20:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* X eyes Raquel appear out of nowhere.
[20:08] <13@Kit> 6Tsukiyomi looks to Raquel. 1"...Ripple."
09[20:08] <13Jennifer> "Jeez... Chii been teaching you some stealth Raq?"
[20:08] <13@Kit> <Tsukiyomi> Ripple. Outside?
[20:08] <13@Kit> <Crys> We should wait for everyone. We'll be heading back to Sol, I bet, so best to leave with everyone, right?
[20:10] <13@Kit> <Chii> J-Jeez, I-- I think I'm worse off than when we started..
[20:10] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hah. 6* She shifts to rise. "Get dressed. It's time to go."
[20:10] <13@Kit> <Chii> Just like that!? You could at least off me a little!
[20:11] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> No time for that.
[20:11] <13@Kit> 6Chii hrmphs and gets up, moving to get her tactsuit and slide into it.
[20:11] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel looks to Tsukiyomi, "You... want to head outside?" 6She glances to the others to see if that's alright.
[20:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* John moves to join the others in the hallway after getting rejected.
[20:12] <13@Kit> 6John would have a red handprint on his face.
15[20:12] * 13@Kane` shows Lemon a video of a cat attacking a piece of string. Cutely.
[20:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon seems to be enthralled by it
15[20:12] * 13Jennifer waves over at John, she grins a little and looks back at the others. "So... trip should take a bit again huh?"
[20:12] <13@Kit> <Crys> Wow, you don't give up, do you... John, was it?"
[20:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* John puts an arm around Crys. "Well, no. Crys, right?"
[20:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves out of the room to find the others now, checking a device as she goes along
[20:13] <13@Kit> 6Crys blushes a bit, eyeing him a little bug-eyed. 1"R-Right... well. You realize a lot of people in this village don't really like humans by nature, right?"
[20:13] <13@DeathStar> <John> I believe in equal love for all races, people, and beings.
[20:13] <13@Kit> <Crys> Yggdrassil is almost entirely made up of evodeviates.
[20:13] <13@DeathStar> <John> Sounds deviant.
09[20:13] <13Jennifer> "Evo-whatits?"
15[20:14] * 13@Kane` seems to enjoy Lemon liking the cat videos. He shows her another of one 'peeping' over a counter to try and get the camera.
[20:14] <13@Kit> 6An elderly woman moves up behind John and Crys, the elder John would have met already. She looks a lot like Crys, in the sense of being lithe and having inhuman ears and a tail of sorts, but if one could place, the marking she's probably a raccoon. Hohoho.
[20:14] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> They are so cute. 6* She leans in closer to it. "I want one."
[20:15] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel opens a ripple to the outside for Tsukiyomi, since no one said no.
[20:15] <13@Kit> <Elder> It's a term we found in some of the documents in these ruins. Evolutionary deviations. It's said humans are descendents of primates-- well, while we share a common eventuality in our evolved forms, we came from other species.
[20:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* John leans in a bit, as if sharing a secrt with Crys. "By the way, I find your ears to be lovely."
15[20:16] * 13@Kane` gets slightly red in the face. 1I-don't know if it would be safe to have an animal on our mission. Though you could get one after I am sure.
[20:16] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> Oh... I guess that's true... 6* She looks a bit sad, but keeps watching, clearly fascinated
09[20:16] <13Jennifer> "I see... well it's a name. I don't really see such minor differences making anyone more or less a person then anyone else."
[20:16] <13@Kit> 6Chii gets dressed, taking on a conservative yukata as she reverst to child form and goes to meet the others with Cheryl.
[20:17] <13Dias`> 6Dias steps out of the food area a fruit in his mouth as he moves down the hallway
[20:18] <13@Kit> <Elder> That's our belief, not the humans. They're always 'superior' is the given acceptance. Just because we're a bit less evolved or become prone to instinct. Though we find in this village the traits and abberant genetics they give us to be quite helpful in specialized tasks. Hunting, harvesting, predicting weather.
[20:18] <13@Kit> <Elder> There are some... even more special circumstances..." 6She slowly eyes Crystal, too busy bugging out at John to notice.
15[20:18] * 13@Kane` shows another of a cat 'boxing' along with a holo-vid, Kane snickers at that one. Probably one of his favorites.
[20:18] <13@DeathStar> <John> Hey, I don't think of myself as superior. Can I touch your ears? 6* He reaches out to brush one
09[20:18] <13Jennifer> "Heh... well you just met a human that thinks differently. A few of them actually."
[20:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon mimics the boxing a bit
[20:19] <13@Kit> <Elder> There are always exceptions. It's not them that we need to worry about. It's the general consensus that enslave us.
15[20:19] * 13@Kane` laughs slightly, pausing to nod once. 1That was very cute.
09[20:19] <13Jennifer> "...That's rotten."
[20:20] <13@DeathStar> <X> Isn't he a prince ? Can't he change the law? 6* She motions at the mute
[20:20] <13@Kit> <Elder> Yes. It is something we have met about." 6Dawn nods to her, holding a hand to his chest.
[20:20] <13@Kit> <Elder> But nothing changes overnight. It must be a gradual process.
15[20:20] * 13Jennifer looks between them. "Well good, maybe things can get on the right track then."
[20:21] <13Dias`> 6Dias steps upto the others, eyeing them all, his tact suit still hanging from his waist. He takes a bite out of the fruit. 1"Morning good looking." 6He smiles at X
[20:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* X looks at Dias, distracted a bit. "Hello, Dias."
[20:21] <13@Kit> <Elder> It is interesting, however. This prince... if it were not for his pedigree and form, I would not have guessed he were not an evodeviate himself.
[20:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps up into the hallway with the others.
[20:22] <13Dias`> <Dias> What's going on? 6He looks around at all the people
[20:22] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> No idea. We ready to go?
[20:22] <13@Kit> 6Dawn peers away at that.
09[20:22] <13Jennifer> "Speaking of the right track... a fast way back to Sol so we can get this all done with would be great." *she puts her hands behind her head, nodding to Cheryl*
[20:23] <13@Kit> <Elder> Normally humans cannot access the mystics beyond simple cantrips. Supposedly it's a mark of the uncivlized, emotional mind to harness such energies, and yet he was capable, I hear.
[20:23] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> I like cats. They are cuter.
[20:23] <13@Kane`> They are very entertaining. 6He says with a nod.
[20:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon puts her hands together. Probably thinking about getting her own one day
[20:23] <13Dias`> <Dias> Not sure.
09[20:24] <13Jennifer> "Eh, I'm sure anyone can do something neat if they put their minds to it."
[20:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers about, then does a ping to get Lemon to come to her. Lemon pauses, then bows at Kane. <Lemon> Mistress Cheryl needs me.
[20:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* John keeps rubbing at Crys ears, probably trying woo her.
[20:24] <13Dias`> <Dias> I use my heart instead of my head.
[20:24] <13@Kit> <Elder> It was in some of the reports... humans were sealed by a force long ago from such arts... The unstable union of other beings' evolution and halflings are what brings it back out. In any case... we should see you off.
09[20:24] <13Jennifer> "Hearts too."
[20:24] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Is that what you call it now?
[20:25] <13@Kit> 6Crys lurches, melting under John.
14[20:25] * Kane` (jbobo@h161.229.90.75.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) Quit (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
03[20:25] * Kane (jbobo@h161.229.90.75.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) has joined #taw
09[20:25] <13Jennifer> "Sealed off huh...
[20:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon leads Kane along, if he follows, to the others
15[20:25] * 13Jennifer glances at Tsu slowly.
[20:25] <13Dias`> <Dias> Heart, Will. Indominitable spirit. Pure awesomeness. It has many names.
[20:25] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> And here I thought it was called your penis
[20:25] <13@Kit> 6Tsukiyomi stares ahead, either not listening, or taking it in indiferrently.
[20:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl crosses her arms, peering at the elder. "So, is it safe to go now?"
[20:26] <13Dias`> <Dias> Right, bring my penis into this. He looks down at his crotch. 1"It's ok, the mean lady didn't mean anything."
[20:26] <13@Kit> <Elder> Yes... I believe it should be. The air... is calm, although charged. Perhaps there will be a storm soon, but the Lumen Behemoth's karma should be gone.
[20:26] <13Dias`> <Dias> Right, bring my penis into this. 6He looks down at his crotch. 1"It's ok, the mean lady didn't mean anything."
[20:27] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Right. We should get going, then. It'll take us a day to get back to Sol if we fly.
[20:27] <13Dias`> <Dias> Flying the plan than? 6He looks up and over at Cheryl
[20:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* X eyes Dias' crotch, then him.
09[20:27] <13Jennifer> "Well that's good." *she crosses her arms again and looks to Cheryl*
[20:27] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> No, I said "if we fly" because I intended to walk
[20:27] <13@Kit> 6Crys moves toward where they found Tsukiyomi, probably going to open the central door out because they know there's an exit nearby there. Dawn stays away from Tsukiyomi, who follows Crys closely, eager to see the moon or something.
[20:27] <13Dias`> <Dias> Than you shouldn't mention flying. Duh.
14[20:28] * Kane (jbobo@h161.229.90.75.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[20:28] <13@Kit> 6Chii sighs at Dias, facepalming.
[20:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* John follows, his hands behind his head. Cheryl shakes her head, walking after them.
15[20:28] * 13Jennifer looks at Dias and facepalms.
03[20:28] * Kane` (jbobo@h122.183.140.67.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) has joined #taw
[20:28] <13Dias`> 6Dias hops over to X. 1"Where's Lil?"
[20:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon facepalms to mimic the two, then follows.
[20:28] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel just takes the ripple outside. If she's going to go to the trouble to make it, she might as well use it.
15[20:28] * 13Jennifer heads after John.
[20:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* X looks at Dias. "She is around."
[20:30] <13@Kit> 6As the others head down the hallway with the elder, Raquel passes through the ripple-- immediately faced with four very unhappy, probably maltreated men in desert's garb brandishing scimitars to her face.
[20:30] <13Dias`> <Dias> Better let her know we're leaving than. 6He offers the fruit to her.
[20:30] <13@DeathStar> <X> She is aware.
15[20:31] * 13Kane` is apparently following everyone else.
[20:31] <13Dias`> <Dias> Oh. Alright.
[20:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* X doesn't take the fruit for whatever reason, shaking her head once
[20:31] <13@Kit> 6Lilith joins them at Tsukiyomi's resting place as Crys hits the panel on the wall, seperating the bay doors to the outside.
[20:31] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel tenses, taking a step back and closing the ripple behind her.
[20:31] <13Dias`> 6Dias smiles and takes another bite, moving with X to the others
[20:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* John whistles a tune as he walks along, nodding at Lilith and winking
[20:32] <13@Kit> 6The readied swords jab at her as she makes the visible movement, some cutting into her just slightly before the ripple cuts the ends of the blades off, leaving them clanking to the floor.
15[20:32] * 13Jennifer nods to Lil a bit as well, walking along cheerfully.
[20:33] <13@Kit> 6Crys steps out to the village above, stretching in the light of the moonflowers and making a content sound, though as she and the others make it up and adjust to the different light, they'd come face to face with the two Desert Roses and and several phalanxes of desert soldiers.
[20:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl narrows her eyes at the sight, her whip activating immediately. John stares. <John> Not good guys?
[20:34] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel hurries to catch up with the others. She'd warn them about the danger, but... well, they already know
[20:34] <13@Kit> <Hawthorn> Hello, outsiders.
09[20:34] <13Jennifer> "It's never easy. Never." *she pulls her gun out*
[20:34] <13Dias`> 6Dias eyes everything. 1"Not good guys."
[20:34] <13@DeathStar> <John> Right
[20:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* X shifts Tsuki behind herself
[20:35] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hawthorn, wasn't it?
[20:35] <13Dias`> <Dias> Nothing like a fight to wake a person up in the morning, eh John? 6He smiles as he starts stretching out
[20:35] <13@Kit> 6Carnation eyes them and steps in front of Hawthorn as guns and weapons appear, bringing up her hands and flexing her fingers into fists, taking up a stance, letting her garments flow to the right.
[20:35] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> And Carny
[20:35] <13@Kit> <Hawthorn> Yes, you remember well. Perhaps you remember our agreement, then?
14[20:35] * Kane` (jbobo@h122.183.140.67.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
03[20:35] * Kane` (jbobo@h252.243.90.75.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) has joined #taw
[20:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl flexes her fingers a bit, her body tensing. "Slipped my mind."
[20:36] <13Dias`> 6Dias shifts the top of his suit on and seals it up, his feet shifting apart slightly as he crouches slightly
[20:36] <13@Kit> 6Dawn moves to the front, his hand tensed over the handle of his sword. Hawthorn eyes him, smirking. 1"The boy here is the main one I wanted gone, Cheryl. He appears alive and well."
15[20:36] * 13Jennifer loosens up, letting her gun charge as she watches the other side carefully.
[20:37] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Funny, you said King.
[20:37] <13Dias`> <Dias> I remember King myself.
[20:37] <13@Kit> <Hawthorn> And now who is King?
[20:37] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You didn't say Kings. You should be more precise.
[20:37] <13Dias`> <Dias> You didn't say future king.
[20:37] <13@DeathStar> <John> The king is dead, long live the king?
[20:38] <13@Kit> <Hawthorn> It's fine. You brought him with you. This will do nicely.
[20:38] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
[20:39] <13@Kit> <Hawthorn> I will consider us in accord if you simply allow it to be between us and him to settle our differences without interfering.
[20:39] <13@Kit> <Chii> Arrogant bitch..
14[20:39] * Kane` (jbobo@h252.243.90.75.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
15[20:39] * 13Jennifer sighs a little.
[20:39] <13Dias`> 6Dias glances at Cheryl.
[20:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl raises a brow at that
[20:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* Kane holds his gun, but makes no moves to attack. For he is Kane.
[20:40] <13@Kit> 6Dawn looks to Cheryl, and after a moment, nods once.
[20:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers back at Dawn, as sizing him and debating his chances
[20:41] <13@DeathStar> <John> I've never really been one for an unfair fight myself. ALl of you against him? Doesn't sound very fair at all.
[20:41] <13Dias`> <Dias> Apparently they fear him.
[20:41] <13@Kit> <Hawthorn> We hardly require the Xycanthein forces to take down one boy.
[20:41] <13@DeathStar> <John> So only one of you plan to fight him?
15[20:41] * 13Jennifer looks over the forces they brought as a direct contradiction.
[20:42] <13@Kit> <Hawthorn> The dispute is between the royal family itself. Only my sister and I are of the true royal family.
[20:42] <13@DeathStar> <John> Still, two against one.
[20:42] <13Dias`> <Dias> I'm sure if you asked nicely, Dawn here'll sit down and discuss it over a nice cup of tea.
[20:42] <13@Kit> <Hawthorn> Hmph, you know so little.
[20:42] <13@Kit> 6The crystal on Kane's person begins to burn. Hotter than before.
[20:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* Kane makes a face and takes the crystal out, practically dropping it
[20:43] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Care to enlighten us?
[20:43] <13@Kit> 6Hawthorn looks to Cheryl. 1"I'm almost certain you would have tried to crush him already. Undoubtedly you failed... You should know what you're dealing with..."
[20:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl deactivates her whip now.
[20:43] <13@Kit> <Hawthorn> That little devil in sheep's guise.
[20:44] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel glances between Hawthorn and Cheryl, "...she is rather arrogant."
15[20:44] * 13Jennifer frowns in disapproval.
[20:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Kane peers at the crystal, then at Dawn
[20:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* John rubs the side of his face. "You guys failed to beat him up, hm?" 6* He studies Dawn, perhaps looking deeper into him
[20:44] <13@Kit> 6Dawn moves forward toward Carnation, who moves slowly toward him-- and classically the two begin to circle one another. The crystal emanating its reddened light dimly and pulsing.
09[20:44] <13Jennifer> "He's... got talents."
[20:45] <13@DeathStar> <Kane> The crystal is glowing again. 6* Cheryl peers back at it. Lemon looks down at it curiously
[20:45] <13Dias`> <Dias> He made this shield thingy.
09[20:45] <13Jennifer> "Let's just make sure this fight stays fair I guess..." *she frowns more*
[20:45] <13@DeathStar> <John> Interesting. How did I miss that before? 6* He murmurs now
[20:46] <13Dias`> <Dias> You showed up here early.
15[20:46] * 13Jennifer looks over at John, raising a brow.
[20:46] <13@DeathStar> <John> Not that. What's in him. 6* He looks curious now, crossing his arms, apparantly watching something that's completely got his attention
[20:46] <13Dias`> <Dias> Oh. 6He shrugs
15[20:46] * 13Jennifer looks over to Dawn, then back at John. "So he's... really got it in him?"
[20:46] <13@Kit> 6Carnation makes a lead for him, charging and sending a foot for his chest in a roundabout swing-- Dawn takes a step backwards instead, reaching for his sword. With the sound of one impact, Dawn strikes twice, cutting into the grieves Carnation wears on her legs, deflecting it and makes a second swing for her side. Carnation's eyes widen and she jerks, sending her fist into it to parry.
[20:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* Kane tries picking up the crystal with a cloth
[20:47] <13@Kit> 6The crystal's heat emanates through it-- though oddly it doesn't physically burn the cloth.
[20:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers at the fight again now
[20:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* Kane moves closer to Tsukiyomi with it
[20:48] <13Dias`> 6Dias slides back to stand beside X, he glances at Kane and the crystal than over at X. 1"So did you sleep good?"
[20:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* John doesn't seem to notice JEn's question, or get it, and keeps watching
[20:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* X just looks at Dias, then back at the fight, waiting to see what happens
[20:48] <13Dias`> 6Dias sighs and rests his hands behind the back of his neck as he watches the fight now.
[20:49] <13@Kit> 6The crystal gets a duller reaction. The two fighters enter into an exchange of blows-- Carnation using her whole body while Dawn merely uses the blade, always hitting twice to her one. As it stands, he could very well beat her with ease-- though Hawthorn brings a hand up and seems to start whispering. Dawn goes to look at her and is knocked back, re-entering the exchanges.
09[20:49] <13Jennifer> * Jen sighs and looks back at the two.
[20:49] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Lemon, you detecting the crystal any clearer now? 6* Lemon pauses, then tries to find out
[20:50] <13Dias`> <Dias> Fancy that. Apparently they're worried enough that they have to do two on one.
[20:50] <13@DeathStar> <Kane> Curious. 6* He touches Dias with the crystal
[20:50] <13Dias`> 6Dias jerks from it, eyeing him. 1"Dude."
[20:50] <13@Kit> 6Lemon's signal strength would be higher, much like Kane's crystal's reaction. As the two fight they round so that Carnation's back is to the group. As that happens, the red-haired elf from before descends from above the group, slamming her lance right into Carnation from behind, piercing straight through to the ground with a shower of blood.
[20:51] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> Yes. I am sensing it clearer now.
[20:51] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel takes a step back, even if she wasn't close enough to get hit by the spray.
[20:51] <13Dias`> 6Dias quickly jerks over to the fight, eyeing it. 1"Oh this isn't going to end well.
[20:52] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Interesting. So when he's fighting, the crystal is more clear. 6* She completely ignores the bloody demise of Carnation, as if not phased
[20:52] <13@Kit> 6Carnation cries loudly, one of the clearest sounds she's ever made in the group's presence, jerking and seperating from Dawn, who has a surprised expression, his mouth agape. Ayame lets go of her lance, stepping to the side and glaring at Hawthorn, who looks equally angry.
[20:52] <13@DeathStar> 6 *X blinks in surprise.
[20:52] <13@Kit> 6Tsukiyomi jerks at that point, grabbing her head. 1"...Ah-ahn..!"
[20:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks away as well, as if unable to watch, shaking a bit at the sight of all the blood. X turns to Tsuki.
[20:52] <13@DeathStar> <X> What is wrong?
[20:53] <13Dias`> 6Dias tenses slightly, his eyes darting focusing on the fight now
[20:53] <13@Kit> <Tsukiyomi> M-Moon..!
[20:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances at Dias. "Think something's up if it becomes more clear when he's in a fighting mode?"
15[20:53] * 13Jennifer stares a little, blinking in surprise, she clenches her fake hand into a fist. She then looks over at Tsu. "Huh...?"
[20:53] <13@DeathStar> <X> What about the moon?
[20:53] <13@Kit> <Tsukiyomi> M-Moon ...come!!
[20:53] <13Dias`> <Dias> Well we were told we could use the crystals right? Maybe he's accessing it's power.
[20:54] <13@Kit> 6Ayame steps aside fully, leaving Carnation, who staggers and falls to the side to a knee, pulling the lance through herself and dropping it to the ground. Strangle, then Dawn falls face first into the ground as well-- a dagger in his back.
[20:54] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Wonder if that means we have to piss him off to get it
[20:54] <13Dias`> <Dias> He needs to be alive for us to piss him off.
[20:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns to eye Dawn's Julius Cesear moment
[20:55] <13@Kit> <Chii> Hey, where'd--" 6She pauses in her thought, looking over to where Crys stands, having just jabbed Dawn much like she gibbed the king.
[20:55] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> There goes that girl again
09[20:55] <13Jennifer> "Oh crap... that Geas thing..."
15[20:55] * 13Jennifer looks at Crys, then Dawn.
09[20:55] <13Jennifer> "How did we forget that?"
[20:55] <13@Kit> 6Crys looks utterly horrified. Hawthorn relaxes a bit, but remains tense, eyeing Ayame.
[20:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon kneels now, trying to hide her face. Kane's jaw clenches, holding the crystal still
[20:55] <13@Kit> <Hawthorn> Good girl. I knew that would come in handy.
[20:56] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Great. Someone get Dawn out of there. We need to find out if he has the crystal in him
[20:56] <13@Kit> 6The crystal's light dims, having had a reaction to Crys, but now left with neither her nor Dawn setting it off.
[20:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl advances now toward Hawthorne.
[20:56] <13@DeathStar> <Kane> ...
[20:56] <13Dias`> <Dias> X, Ripple him somewhere safe. 6He starts advancing after Cheryl
[20:56] <13@Kit> <Ayame> Good lord. And I thought you girls were dim when you were little.
[20:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* X ripples Dawn, and some ground, next to Raquel
[20:57] <13@Kit> <Hawthorn> It's done, so shut up, Ayame. If you're still serving Sol, then you're our knight once more.
[20:57] <13@Kit> 6Dawn drops next to Raquel-- though Dawn remains where he was as well.
[20:57] <13@DeathStar> <X> ?!
[20:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers back and forth now. "Lemon, which one has the crystal?"
[20:58] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel glances at Dawn and... Dawn, trying to figure out this trick.
15[20:58] * 13Jennifer moves over to Dawn, she carefully checks him over, before slowly looking back at the second Dawn. "...What the the bloody hell..."
[20:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon pauses, trying to feel them both out
[20:58] <13Dias`> <Dias> ...Alright, I'm shutting my brain off.
[20:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* John rubs the back of his head. "Whoa."
[20:58] <13@Kit> 6The crystal Kane holds would burn again, the signal from the one ahead, the one next to Raquel merely having a knife in him.
[20:58] <13@DeathStar> <John> Nice.
[20:58] <13@Kit> 6Chii grabs her head. 1"Wh-What the fuck is that..?!"
[20:58] <13@Kit> 6Tsukiyomi has a head-clutching moment like Chii, mumbling incoherently.
15[20:59] * 13Jennifer checks to see if she can remove the dagger safely from the one she's treating and get to healing him.
[20:59] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> A ninja log, or two of them.
[20:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon points at the Dawn furtherest away, and Cheryl narrows her eyes now
[20:59] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel frowns a little, unable to perform first aid with one hand.
04[20:59] <13@Kit> 6Jennifer removes the dagger, jabbed through a most certainly fatal angle, but the bleeding and healing seems to go alright despite that fact.
[20:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* Kane moves for the other Dawn, if he can, to see how the cystal react. Cheryl steps up beside Ayame.
[21:00] <13@Kit> <Hawthorn> What is the meaning of this..? Ayame!?
[21:00] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> So, what's going on?
[21:00] <13@Kit> <Ayame> You opened the can, bitch. Your mother almost did it, but the King caught her first and cast her out, unable to trust her.
[21:00] <13@Kit> 6The closer Kane gets, the more it burns, to an almost unbearable level. He's not getting scars or burns, but the sensation of pain and searing nerves alone.
15[21:00] * 13Jennifer starts patching him up as best she can, applying some nanites and bandaging him up good.
[21:01] <13@Kit> <Hawthorn> What are you talking about?!
[21:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* He tosses it at Dawn
[21:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers at Chii, then at the other Dawn.
[21:01] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Dias. Something bad is about to happen - Chii's freaking out like she would around too much dark energy.
[21:01] <13@Kit> <Ayame> You two were too young and stupid to understand, but the King knew. He knew what Dawn was before he ever decided to take him in from Kyou. Before he adopted him for safekeeping.
[21:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl seems to be controlling any rebound effects through the bond, though she has a slight twitch
[21:02] <13Dias`> <Dias> Than we should get out of here while we can.
[21:02] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> We need the crystal.
[21:02] <13@Kit> 6Chii promptly starts hitting her head into the ground, punching at it to dodge the effects temporarily.
[21:02] <13Dias`> <Dias> I mean away from here.
[21:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon jerks, then moves over to try grab Chii in a hug and hold onto her. "Mistress!"
[21:02] <13Dias`> <Dias> Grab and go.
[21:02] <13@DeathStar> <Lemon> Do not die and become lonely.
[21:03] <13@DeathStar> <John> Kinda hard to get out of the forest. Not sure if we'd make it.
[21:03] <13@Kit> 6The crystal hits "Dawn's," giving off a ripple effect and a sound similar to a heartbeat, then hits the ground near him.
09[21:03] <13Jennifer> "Dark Energy? Their names... Dawn and Tsuki... could it really be pointing to something that simple?"
[21:03] <13Dias`> <Dias> Than we face whatever's coming head on.
04[21:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* X keeps an eye on Tsuki for now ,eyeing Jennifer
[21:03] <13@Kit> <Hathorn> Safekeeping from... what?
[21:04] <13@Kit> <Ayame> Our end.
[21:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl activates her whip, eyeing the ripple effect. Kane stares, fascinated
[21:04] <13@DeathStar> <John> Now that's more like my plan.
[21:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* John punches his fist into his palm
[21:04] <13Dias`> 6Dias reaches up and tightens his bandana.
[21:04] <13@DeathStar> <John> I got dibs on any dark energy gods if they appear.
[21:04] <13Dias`> <Dias> Dude, that's so unfair.
[21:04] <13@DeathStar> <John> Sorry, no take backs.
[21:05] <13@Kit> 6Dawn slowly sits up, eyes closed-- from his back slowly extends three ethereal black wings to either side, bathed in their own shadows and not keeping a tangible form. He opens his eyes slowly, gazing at Cheryl with a red darker than Lilith's.
[21:05] <13Dias`> <Dias> I call foul, man. 6He points at John
[21:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares at Dawn now. She's apparantly trying to keep Chii calm in the bond, and not go berserk herself.
15[21:05] * 13Jennifer makes the Dawn she treated comforterable and looks around carefully. She then looks at the other Dawn and gulps. "...Oh."
[21:05] <13@DeathStar> <John> And there's a dark god. I knew it! I thought I felt something in him that was powerful
[21:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* John bounces on his feet now, bringing his fists up
09[21:06] <13Jennifer> "So what's this one? The real him?"
[21:06] <13Dias`> <Dias> Have you ever fought a god before, John?
[21:06] <13@DeathStar> <John> I'm going to call him Twilight.
09[21:06] <13Jennifer> "Dawn and Twilight... eh it fits."
[21:06] <13@DeathStar> <John> Maybe. I fought a dragon.
[21:06] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...y-you can't just go naming dark gods!"
[21:07] <13Dias`> <Dias> Yeah well I have, so nyah!
09[21:07] <13Jennifer> "He just did."
[21:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* John peers at Raquel. "Sorry, no takebacks!"
[21:07] <13@Kit> 6Dawn's other 'half' gets up, then lifts off the ground slightly, he brings out a hand, then waves it, forming a tear in the air, passing through it is a girl, not that much different from Crys, sharing the same traits of being an evodeviate but not quite a fox. Two of her teeth protrude over the lips, her arms and legs, even her face, stomach and chest all in runes like Lilith.
[21:07] <13@Kit> <Ayame> Good job, girly. You've gone and released the Fallen.
[21:07] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> What's...a Fallen..?
[21:08] <13Dias`> <Dias> Maybe somebody tripped it.
15[21:08] * 13Jennifer looks at Dawn, then the creature that he summons. "...H-Hey... what the heck are you doing..."
[21:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* John peers at the new girl, then points. "And her name will be Onyx."
[21:08] <13@Kit> <Ayame> The dark side. Anything and everything that embodies the evil in us-- given form. It's a confidential report found in ruins like those here in this village but near Sol.
[21:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just grinds her teeth once. "And I'm betting this thing has what...we need..."
[21:09] <13Dias`> <Dias> Than we take it from it, Cheryl. 6He punches twice at the air.
[21:09] <13@Kit> <Ayame> Embodiment of the reality, right? If anything were to represent this dying reality of ours, I'm sure it is that thing.
[21:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Kane goes to find the crystal
15[21:09] * 13Jennifer peers up at Dawn, she backs away from him a little.
[21:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* X stares at the creature. Lemon looks away from it, looking shaken, but holds onto Chii
[21:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* John rushes at Twilight now, rearing his fist back
[21:10] <13Dias`> 6Dias kicks off, dashing past Cheryl and crossing behind John to come up along his side
[21:10] <13@Kit> 6The fallen 'Twilight' jerks slightly, though not making a sound. He stares over at Carnation-- who's jabbed the jewelled sword Dawn carried into his side. At first there's nothing, but then a light starts to pour out, and the crystal starts going crazy on Kane again.
[21:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Kane peers down at it, then at the Twilight. He tosses it at Dias. "Try hitting it with this, maybe."
[21:11] <13@Kit> <Tsukiyomi> Amaterasu.
[21:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* John swings his fist at Twilight's face as he's looking down
09[21:11] <13Jennifer> "What about this new girl?" *she looks at Onyx a bit confused, then over at the others starting to fight*
[21:12] <13@Kit> 6Twilight's head snaps back, then he snarls and actually bites into John's hand.
[21:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl seems to be watching Onyx right now
[21:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* John flails his hand about. "Ow ow ow ow. RABIES."
[21:12] <13@Kit> <Crys> ...I-It's Aesir.
09[21:12] <13Jennifer> "Explain what an Aesir is...?"
[21:12] <13Dias`> 6Dias leaps up and twists, grabbing onto it as he comes around and he lands facing towards Twilight again and he pulls his fist back with the crystal and he slides past John and Twilight and swings his fist for the back of Twilights head
[21:12] <13@Kit> <Crys> That's her name. She's the village's guardian.
09[21:12] <13Jennifer> "Oh... so she's a good guy?"
[21:13] <13@DeathStar> <X> When has any guardian been a good guy?
[21:13] <13@Kit> <Crys> ..." 6She looks away, but focuses on Aesir.
[21:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl keeps herself between Aesir and the others for now
15[21:14] * 13Jennifer moves back some more, so she's actually behind Cheryl, looking at Raquel.
[21:14] <13@Kit> 6Dias' fist collides into Twilight's head, the crystal giving up a burst of light-- causing Twilight to jerk and look back, using the wings, passing them through Dias-- any and every thought he ever had about defeating X flooding right into his head.
[21:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* John steps back once to eye Twilight. He holds up his bloodied hand, letting the blood run down it, and his hand begins to glow.
[21:15] <13@Kit> 6During this, Hawthorn goes to Carnation's side, tending to her with what's likely a healing magic, but it seems slow going,
[21:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* John's hand burst into flames, and he twists around, swinging his fist at Twilight's mouth again. "Bite this!"
[21:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers at the other fight going on, her focus shifting off Aesir tempoarily
[21:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* Kane aims his gun at Twilight's back and fires
[21:17] <13Dias`> 6Dias steps back, goosebumps on his face, but a look of enjoyment on his face.
15[21:17] * 13Jennifer watches Hawthorn and Carnation, she puts a hand to her gun but doesn't make a move to stop them, not one to attack when people are licking their wounds. "What should we do about those two Cheryl..."
[21:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* X shifts Tsuki to Raquel to guard, the gets ready for combat, moving in at Twilight
[21:17] <13@Kit> 6Dawn steps back, sweeping the wings around himself, then thrusting them outward, their ghostly form passing through John's hand and his body-- flooding him with the determination he used to hold to collect the crystals at the expense of the team he's now with.
[21:18] <13@Kit> 6The elder moves to drag the real Dawn inside since fighting has erupted.
[21:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* John pauses once, the flames dying out. He begins to chuckle now, almost creepily. "Fan-tas-tic."
[21:18] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel stands between Tsuki and fallen, having gathered holy energy in her hand in case she needs to use it.
[21:18] <13Dias`> 6Dias kicks off and swings his leg out for Twilights head.
[21:19] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Forget them for now. 6* She says, watching the Twilight fight
[21:19] <13@Kit> 6Twilight moves forward, right past John while he's having his moment, away from Dias' strike and toward Cheryl and Aesir.
[21:19] <13@Kit> <Crys> Aesir... snap out of it... Come on, girl.. I know you can hear me... It's Crys...
[21:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* X opens a ripple and leaps through it, coming in behind Twilight. She fires a holy arrow at his back. John begins to hop along after Twilight
[21:19] <13Dias`> 6Dias twists and lands, dashing in after Twilight as he moves towards him.
15[21:20] * 13Jennifer nods and pulls out her gun, moving her attention to the Twilight fight, she cries out as Twilight comes in and fires a shot for his legs, downward to avoid hitting teammates in pursuit.
[21:20] <13@DeathStar> <John> Whatcha got next for me? Going to make me relive watching everyone I cared about die? 6* He taunts Twilight.
[21:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets ready to hold Twilight off, her focused split now
[21:21] <13@Kit> 6Twilight ignores John-- if anything, he hasn't shown the slightest interest in... well. Anything. Even as he's shot in the back with holy energy, he winces, clearly affected by it moreso than the shots from the gun he's shrugging off. He closes his eyes, then leaps upward, high, moving toward the canopy out of general reach.
[21:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Lemon peers at what the Elder is doing, then goes to drag Chii inside, too
[21:21] <13Dias`> 6Dias leaps up and onto John's shoulder and rebounds off and above Twilight, his fist with the crystal in it pulled back. His head jerks up as he goes flying up
[21:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* X looks upward.
[21:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl strains to look up, her focus off Aesir completely, it seems
[21:22] <13Dias`> <Dias> Son of a bitch. 6He lands and stumbles slightly until he regains his footing.
[21:22] <13@Kit> 6Twilight eyes Dias going above and changes directions, descending quickly and landing back to back with Aesir. He turns, hugging her, closing all six wings around the two.
15[21:22] * 13Jennifer turns her gun towards Twlight and Aesir. "...That can't be good..."
[21:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns to eye them, then whips out at the wings.
15[21:23] * 13Jennifer fires at a wing as well.
[21:24] <13Dias`> <Dias> John, those wings do...
[21:24] <13@DeathStar> <John> Yeah, I know.
04[21:24] <13@Kit> 6The whip passes through them, striking the girl within them along with the shot from Jennifer. After a moment he releases her, opening his wings and stepping back, eyeing the desert soldiers fleeing. He brings his hands out toward them, then closes his eyes and continues walking backwards. After a moment, screams from the soldiers can be heard, some of them attacking themselves.
[21:24] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel fires a wary shot of holy energy at the wings, trying to help without drawing attention
[21:24] <13@Kit> 6Others being preyed on by some of the local beasties, some manners of insects, some evolved wolves and bears.
[21:24] <13Dias`> <Dias> Too bad it was one of my fave five.
[21:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl dashes in at Twilight after he releases Aesir, and throws herself at him in a berserker barrage of whip attacks
[21:25] <13@Kit> 6The holy energy strikes Aesir as well, causing her to jerk. She opens her eyes, them locking onto Raquel, and gives a rather... animalistic growl, rearing her hands back, and though being a tiny thing, gives a roar that's more akin to the Behemoth from the day before.
[21:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* John turns to eye the commotion. "Shit..."
[21:25] <13Dias`> <Dias> If we take Twilight out, all this should end. 6He breaks off into a dash towards Twilight
[21:25] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel cringes. It'd be nice to do something without it just blowing up in her face.
15[21:26] * 13Jennifer holds her gun up towards Twilight still and makes her way to Aesir. She stops when she hears her growl and frowns, "Not good."
[21:26] <13@Kit> 6Dawn takes all the strikes, one after another, recoiling and jerking, beginning to bleed, but through it all, he smiles at Cheryl-- as if listening to the music and enjoying it.
[21:26] <13@Kit> 6Aesir now runs forward-- on all fours, barreling toward Raquel like a wolf.
[21:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snarls, her attacks getting more frenzy. She keeps attacking like a wild beast, not letting up. It's hard to tell if she's lost it. X opens a ripple in front of Raqueel
[21:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* John turns to see if any locals are in danger from the insects
[21:27] <13@Kit> 6The villagers seem to have retreated back into the laboratories-- the doors shut currently.
[21:27] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel braces herself behind X's ripple. She has to protect Tsuki, and can't do that by running off. She prepares her own ripple to open if Aesir trys to avoid X's
[21:28] <13Dias`> 6Dias whistles loudly as he get's close to Cheryl and Twilight and he kicks off to the side and slides, turning to face Twilight.
[21:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* If X's ripple does work, she's set it to loop Aesir forever if she doesn't stop
15[21:28] * 13Jennifer watches Aesir and the ripples, she starts to charge her gun again.
[21:29] <13@Kit> 6Aesir dives right through the ripple, as if sensing it's fine, landing and taking a quick turn out of the set, instantly changing targets, moving to slash at X-- from ten feet away. As she does, the very air bends, extending her attack much like Chii's dark claws... Lilith finally steps in front, bracing her gauntlets and sliding back beside X taking the attack.
[21:29] <13@Kit> <Crys> A-Aesir.. stop!
[21:29] <13@DeathStar> <X> Thank you, Lilith. Does your element counter her's?
[21:30] <13@Kit> <Lilith> She does not feel like darkness.
[21:30] <13Dias`> 6Dias kicks off as he slides behind Twilight completely and he starts throwing punches from both hands at his backside.
[21:30] <13@DeathStar> <X> Unfortunate.
09[21:30] <13Jennifer> "Aesir... if you're a guardian, then stop! Fight Twilight, he's the bad guy!"
[21:30] <13@Kit> <Lilith> She smells of wind. ...I can use this to my advantage.
[21:30] <13@DeathStar> <X> Good. I will try to keep her busy with my ripples.
[21:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* X opens one under Aesir to deposit her in the sky and make her fall - away from the team
[21:33] <13@Kit> 6Aesir drops, rearing a hand back and sending another wave for X-- Lilith moves and brings up her hand, creating one of her own-affinity gravity wells and warping its affect, then creates another on the other side of Aesir-- as she falls, she passes between them, immediately racked with the effect of a tesla coil.
[21:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* X nods once in approval.
09[21:34] <13Jennifer> "...Cool."
[21:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* John watches Cheryl and Dias for now, not going to make it too crowded with his presence.
[21:34] <13@Kit> 6Twilight jerks, ignoring Cheryl's strikes as Dias hits him with the crystal again. He starts to move back, doing his best to dodge, but gets hit repeatedly. Finally he brings up a hand, forming another tear-- and one of the bears, foaming at the mouth, moves through it, taking a swat at Dias from the side
[21:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* John leaps in now, aiming to tackle the bear way from Dias. "EGGBEAR"
[21:35] <13@DeathStar> *away
[21:36] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel can't help but glance at John. Egg-what?!
[21:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts and whips out for Twilight's throat, trying to ensnare him and take him toward her
[21:37] <13@DeathStar> <X> Raquel, what are your other attacks besides the holy arrow?
[21:39] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...I don't have all sorts of powers like you do."
[21:39] <13@DeathStar> <X> Unfortunate.
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> <X> But you are only a ninth weapon, not an ultimate one, so it's to be expected.
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* X peers at Twilight. "Do you still have the ability to take souls?"
[21:41] <13@Ariel> Raquel> "...it... yes." *eyes Twilight and his icky dark energy*
[21:41] <13@DeathStar> <X> Perhaps you should take his soul, or at least cripple it.
15[21:41] * 13Jennifer looks over at Raquel, she frowns a bit.
[21:42] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel nods slowly, and takes a deep breath. "...watch over us." 6She sits down, and then takes her bracelet out of a pocket. Putting it on.
[21:42] <13@DeathStar> 6 *X shifts to stand over Raquel for now
09[21:43] <13Jennifer> "Are you sure about this...?"
[21:43] <13@Kit> 6John is run over like a truck. He succeeds in veering it from Dias, but it... it is a bear. Twilight struggles with Cheryl, then takes on a ghostly form and walks out of the whip, the sword falling away that was jabbed in him. His wounds close with the sword removed-- returning to like before. Tsukiyomi eyes this event, then holds her hand out. 1"Amaterasu."
[21:44] <13@Kit> 6Aesir bounces off the ground-- fried by the inugami and her master. Crys makes a shriek and moves out, grabbing her-- moving for the lab
09[21:44] <13Jennifer> "...What the heck is Amaterasu...?"
[21:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* John twists and flips to his feet, apparantly not too phased with being hit by a truck, all things considered. He circles the bear now, making growling noises
[21:44] <13Dias`> 6Dias jerks as the claw swipes by him and he eyes Twilight go all clear like and he leaps in at him, swinging the crystal wielding fist at him again.
[21:44] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel moves towards 'twilight' in her spiritual form, hoping this gives her a little more protection from his dark energy, and tries to drain his spirit. She managed to absorb pure death before, so she hoped this worked.
[21:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the whip go useless. "Fucker."
[21:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lets the whip vanish for now, turning to eye Twilight.
[21:46] <13@Kit> 6The sword jerks, then flies to Tsukiyomi's hand. She smiles-- as if having achieved something. Even in ghost form-- Dias punches him with the crystal hand, and he frowns slightly, then pauses, eyeing Raquel. If it's doing anything to him, it remains to be seen-- but as she drains, she would be overwhelmed with the way she was back when she tried to use Lilith to kill Dias and Marcus for the death of Ripple.
[21:46] <13Dias`> 6Dias pulls his fist back, a determined look on his face and he throws it back in at him again.
[21:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* X peers at Tsuki once, then at the fight
15[21:47] * 13Jennifer watches with great uncertainty, gripping her gun, she glances at Tsuki.
[21:47] <13@Kit> 6Twilight, focused on Raquel, recoils from another punch. He turns, then starts to throw fists back at Dias-- in no trained manner, just trying to hit him in frustration.
[21:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl points her hand at Twilight, then begins to move her lips, like Chii would do. She begins to drain her energy, and forms a lightning seal, trying to strike Twilight with the lightning
[21:48] <13@Kit> 6Tsukiyomi shifts to look at X, holding the sword, her head tilted. 1"X. Believe?"
[21:48] <13Dias`> 6Dias is hit by the first one causing him to step back and he shifts his other forearm down to block.
[21:48] <13@DeathStar> <X> ... Yes. 6* She nods once, giving her a clear, concise answer
[21:48] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel tries to just hold on, and continue. Trying to use the overwhelming flood of emotion to block out all thoughts, and lock herself into this one action.
[21:48] <13@Kit> <Tsukiyomi> X believe. Strong?
[21:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* X nods.
[21:49] <13@Kit> 6Raquel succeeds-- ...thus meaning she has no desire other than to kill Dias.
[21:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* But who doesn't?
[21:50] <13Dias`> 6Dias' upperbody starts leaning back and his left leg snaps out to kick for Twilights right knee
[21:51] <13@Kit> 6Twilight dodges the kick, learning, sending his own for Dias-- when he's struck by lightning, pausing a moment to eye Cheryl.
[21:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pants now, her bangs in her face, and an eerie smile on her face. "Don't..turn your fucking back...to me..."
[21:52] <13@Kit> 6Tsukiyomi nods to X, smiling, seemingly elated, then hugs the sword to herself-- growing her own wings similar to the being their facing-- but the all-familiar stereotypical goodness of bright white.
15[21:52] * 13Jennifer goes wide eyed, watching Cheryl. "Oh wow... Twilight's so dead."
[21:52] <13Dias`> 6Dias slams his foot down and drags it back, which results in his upperbody swinging forward and he throws a haymaker with his crystal holding hand at Twilight's head
[21:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl focuses now, gathering all her energy like she's seen Chii do, going for a devastating lightning strike, though she needs time like Chii
[21:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* X stares, then peers at her own back. She has weapon envy.
[21:54] <13@DeathStar> 6* John shifts to rejoin the others now, peering at Tsuki, then whistles.
[21:55] <13@DeathStar> <John> Can you grow eight wings?
[21:55] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel lets go of Fallen, and though her attempt to the opposite apparently succeeded, she finds herself lashing out at Dias telepathically.
09[21:55] <13Jennifer> "She can." *she smiles a little(
09[21:55] <13Jennifer> *
[21:55] <13@Kit> 6Tsukiyomi stares at John, then brings a hand up, drawing it down over herself-- immersing herself in materialized armor, looking very much the part of a valkyrie. She wields the sword, then floats across the ground toward Cheryl, Dias and Twilight
03[21:56] * Jackieness (Psy@h92.133.141.67.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) has joined #taw
03[21:56] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
[21:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* John whistles again
09[21:56] <13Jennifer> "Well, now we know why Dawn got all weird around her."
[21:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl holds out her hand at Twilight, unleashing a true lightning spell at him.
[21:57] <13@Kit> 6The area lights up briefly with a purplish blue light and a bolt strikes down, superheating the ground and frying Fallen, sending him sprawling to the ground, sizzling and crackling with electricity.
[21:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl collapses to her knees, gasping for breath
[21:57] <13Dias`> 6Dias stares, his face white briefly. 1"HOLY CRAP THAT WAS CLOSE!"
[21:58] <13@DeathStar> <John> Good thing lightning never strikes the same place twice, eh?
[21:58] <13Dias`> <Dias> God damn right it's a good thing. 6He peers to eye the smoking Twilight
09[21:58] <13Jennifer> "...Did we win?"
[21:58] <13@Kit> 6Twilight begins to move, getting up and reforming his wings, his skin remodelling and returning to normal.
[21:58] <13@DeathStar> <John> No. I don't think we won at all.
09[21:58] <13Jennifer> "Nope. See? Never easy."
[21:59] <13@Kit> 6The crystal in Dias' hand begins to hit the boiling-water stage of heat.
[21:59] <13@DeathStar> <Kane> Hit him before recovers, Dias
[21:59] <13@DeathStar> 6* Kane says this exasperatedly.
[21:59] <13Dias`> <Dias> Good, I'd hate for the fun to end. 6He tosses the orb into his other hand and he dashes in at Twilight.
[22:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* John dashes in at Twilight as well, moving around ghost Raquel, though she shouldn't be visible.
[22:00] <13@Kit> 6Twilight eyes Dias, and Tsukiyomi now, frowning for real. He folds his wings over himself, then withers into the shadows of the trees like some might expect of an old-style vampire.
[22:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* John stops, eyeing the trees, then his fist, then the tree.
[22:00] <13Dias`> <Dias> GONNA LET A TREE STOP YOU?
[22:01] <13@DeathStar> <John> You hit it first, then, willy
[22:01] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel returns to her corporeal form, having one of the worst headaches she's ever had.
[22:01] <13@Kit> 6The crystal slowly returns to normal, losing its heat and light.
[22:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* X glances at Raquel, then offers a hand
[22:01] <13Dias`> 6Dias stops rolling the crystal in his hand as it cools down and he slides to a stop beside John. 1"Who's willy?
[22:01] <13@DeathStar> <John> You're Willy.
[22:01] <13Dias`> <Dias> No. I'm Dias.
[22:02] <13@DeathStar> <John> ALright, Willy.
15[22:02] * 13Jennifer sighs and rubs the back of her head.
[22:02] <13Dias`> <Dias> Guess this means it's scared of us, eh? 6He beams proudly
[22:02] <13@Kit> 6Tsukiyomi tilts her head, looking sad for some reason, dropping to the ground. Her armor and form returns to its normal sect, her wings fading. She returns to being a strange, black-haired, green-eyed girl in makeshift clothing.
[22:02] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel squints a bit, then take X's hand, mumbling thanks.
[22:02] <13@Kit> <Tsukiyomi> Scared.
[22:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* X looks the way it went. "We need to defeat it."
[22:03] <13@Kit> 6Tsukiyomi eyes Dias, then juts her chest out, mimicing his proud stance.
[22:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* John stares at her chest approvingly.
[22:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts to get to her feet, clearly tired.
[22:03] <13Dias`> 6Dias looks at John then over at Tsu, his eyes flashing. 1"Ooooh."
[22:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* X opens a ripple and slaps Dias' face.
[22:03] <13Dias`> <Dias> Oww!
[22:04] <13@DeathStar> <X> ... 6* She glares.
[22:04] <13Dias`> 6Dias hangs his head like a punished puppy
[22:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves for the lab doors, clearly intent on checking on Chii
[22:04] <13Dias`> <Dias> Sorry, X.
[22:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* X just takes Raquel and Tsuki and moves away with them, from Dias.
15[22:05] * 13Jennifer rubs the back of her head again and follows after Cheryl.
[22:05] <13@Kit> <Hawthorn> So that was...
[22:05] <13Dias`> 6Dias looks over at John. 1"So this thing apparently hurts it. 6He tosses the orb around.
[22:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* Kane moves back over to take the crystal back
[22:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pokes her head in. "Chii?!"
[22:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* John moves over to stand by Hawthorn. "So, should we expect any more trouble out of you, beautiful?"
[22:06] <13@Kit> <Ayame> Yeah. That's the whole reason behind it. Your mother wasn't cast out because you're some deprived little brat-- She tried to off the kid, not knowing what she was doing. The truth couldn't be brought to light without everyone panicing. You should know better, Hawthorn.
[22:06] <13Dias`> 6Dias sighs as Kane takes it. 1"I liked playing with that."
[22:07] <13@Kit> 6Hawthorn makes a face, slapped by the words, but still not happy with Ayame, she hugs Carnation to herself, silent.
[22:07] <13@DeathStar> <Kane> I need to study it more.
[22:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* John kneels, taking a look over the flower girl that was wounded
[22:07] <13@Kit> 6Chii is already sitting up. 1"...Cheryl..? Is it gone?
[22:07] <13Dias`> 6Dias grumbles and he moves over to John, looking down at the wounded girl
[22:07] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...yeah. We have to go after it.
15[22:07] * 13Jennifer crosses her arms, peering at Chii from behind Cheryl.
[22:07] <13@Kit> <Chii> Where's Lem? She.. she brought me away from it.
[22:08] <13@Kit> 6Carnation seems better now that the gaping hole has been filled in, resting unconscious with a slight fever.
[22:08] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> She's not with you? I need her to track the thing. 6* She looks around for the twin, but doesn't see her
[22:08] <13@DeathStar> <John> I'll help you carry her inside.
[22:08] <13@Kit> 6Dawn rests near where Chii was, apparently alive despite the wound, sleeping. Crys sits near him and Aesir, watching them both, shivering.
[22:08] <13@Kit> <Hawthorn> Why?
[22:09] <13@Kit> <Ayame> Because he's a good guy, bitch. Get over it.
[22:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* John moves over to lift Carnation up gently in his arms
[22:09] <13Dias`> 6Dias glances at Ayame. 1"Shouldn't use should strong words.
[22:09] <13@Kit> 6Ayame retrieves her spear, slamming it into the ground, removing all the blood from it with an impacting force.
15[22:09] * 13Jennifer looks around, growing worried. "Where could Lemon have gone?"
[22:09] <13@Kit> <Ayame> Why not?
[22:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks around for Lemon. "Goddammit..." 6* She taps her device on her hand to ping Lemon, then narrows her eyes. "The fuck?"
[22:09] <13@Kit> <Chii> W-What?
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> She's not even here. She's moving westward.
[22:10] <13Dias`> <Dias> Because it's just not nice.
[22:10] <13@Kit> 6Tsukiyomi smiles at X. 1"Key strong?"
09[22:10] <13Jennifer> "...Think she's moving after Twilight?"
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* X nods at Tsukiyomi. "Tsukiyomi strong."
[22:10] <13Dias`> 6Dias holds his hand out to help Hawthorn up
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Why the fuck would she do that alone? Goddamn that robot.
[22:10] <13@Kit> <Chii> I-- I don't know, honestly. Could she still be desperate to be useful?
[22:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* John goes to carry Carnation back inside, peering at the raging Cheryl
15[22:11] * 13Jennifer frowns. "We told her not to be reckless... this isn't useful."
[22:11] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> She'd be more useful if she did what she's suppose to do and stay out of danger.l
[22:11] <13@Kit> 6Hawthorn moves in with John, getting cold look sfrom the villagers.
[22:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl runs her hand through her hair now
[22:11] <13Dias`> 6Dias eyes his hand and sighs as Hawthorn walks off after John. He moves after the three
09[22:11] <13Jennifer> "So we should get moving before we lose track of her?"
[22:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* X checks Raquel over, then leans forward and kisses her on the lips, returning energy to her
[22:12] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ....
[22:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the team, wondering if they're in any shape to do that
15[22:12] * 13Jennifer rubs the back of her head. She looks back as well.
[22:12] <13Dias`> 6Dias looks at Cheryl. 1"I know that look. What happened?"
[22:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* John lays Carnation down in one of the rooms, then goes to step back out.
[22:12] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Lemon's being stupid and going after that thing
[22:12] <13Dias`> <Dias> ...Which way?
[22:12] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel practically jumps, going wide eyed
[22:13] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> We'll all go after her. We're not splitting up more than we have to at this point.
[22:13] <13Dias`> <Dias> Fine, but than we should get going.
[22:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* X finishes her kiss, restoring some energy to Raquel to use, then peers at the others
[22:13] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Ayame. "We're going after Twilight."
[22:13] <13@Kit> <Ayame> Are you nuts?
[22:14] <13Dias`> <Dias> Depends on who you're asking.
[22:14] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Clearly. But he has the crystal, and my insane look alike is already following it
[22:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* John rubs the back of his head as he listens
[22:14] <13@Kit> <Ayame> Without Zynineth we no longer have a way to predict events any longer. This is... all or nothing.
[22:14] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> That's life.
[22:14] <13Dias`> <Dias> But that's what makes life so exciting.
[22:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes everyone. "Who needs to stay here and recover? Probably be the only place you can do it."
[22:15] <13@Kit> <Ayame> Hrmph. And what makes you think you can stop it?
[22:15] <13Dias`> 6Dias bounces, full of energy and excitement
09[22:15] <13Jennifer> "Because... we have to Ayame."
[22:15] <13Dias`> <Dias> What makes you think we can't?
[22:15] <13@DeathStar> <John> Never know until you try, I say.
[22:15] <13@Kit> <Ayame> Zynienth was created to counter that thing-- he couldn't/
[22:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* John kneels down and leans over to scratch Crys' ear. "Good luck. Sorry we couldn't spend more time together.{
[22:15] <13Dias`> <Dias> And that's why we can defeat it.
[22:16] <13@Kit> <Ayame> Speaking of which, where is the little runt? Wasn't he following you guys?
[22:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chii. "You stay here."
[22:16] <13@DeathStar> <X> The creature with us is dead
[22:16] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel looks to X, "...do we have a plan? Or... just charging in again...?"
[22:16] <13@Kit> <Chii> What!? No way!! I'm a battle maniac. This is where I'm useful!
[22:16] <13@Kit> <Ayame> Dead? Zynineth? Haa, that's funny.
[22:16] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> And you freak out at dark energy, so you stay. 6* She eyes Raquel. "Yeah, I Actually do."
09[22:16] <13Jennifer> "It's true."
[22:16] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> The crystal hurts him, right? LEts just ripple it inside his gut
[22:17] <13@Kit> 6Ayame pauses. 1"He's been alive for millennia. He wouldn't just up and die."
[22:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* Kane peers down at it in his hand
[22:17] <13Dias`> <Dias> If that fails, I'll just punch it inside him and leave it there.
09[22:17] <13Jennifer> "Sounds like he was pretty old then."
09[22:17] <13Jennifer> "But he's dead."
[22:17] <13@DeathStar> <X> He died. But his death taught Lemon the value of life
[22:17] <13@Kit> <Ayame> I-- I don't believe it.
09[22:17] <13Jennifer> "And he told us about waking up Tsu."
04[22:17] <13@Kit> 6Ayame blinks at Jennifer. 1"Waking up who?"
09[22:18] <13Jennifer> "Said doing it would unlock something holding back this world."
[22:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the ping starting to get weaker. "We need to go now if we're going to follow her. This thing isn't designed for huge distances, and she's apparantly moving pretty quickly. More quickly than she should be able to."
[22:18] <13Dias`> <Dias> She's probably using the crystal we recovered.
[22:18] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
09[22:18] <13Jennifer> "Tsukiyomi, what he called the Key."
[22:18] <13@Kit> 6Tsukiyomi giggles. 1"Me. Key."
[22:18] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Damn robot. I'm going to disable her legs when I get her back.
[22:18] <13@Kit> 6Ayame deadpans. 1"...That?"
09[22:18] <13Jennifer> "Yeah, her."
[22:19] <13@Kit> <Ayame> H-How... is that ditz going to help anything?
[22:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* John finishes scratching Crys, and pats her once, the nstands up
[22:19] <13Dias`> <Dias> No you're not, but let's get going than.
[22:19] <13@Kit> 6Tsukyomi stares at Ayame. 1"Ditz. Me?"
09[22:19] <13Jennifer> "She's got power."
[22:19] <13@DeathStar> <X> Not ditz. She ditz.
[22:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gives Chii an awkward hug, then goes to move
[22:19] <13@Kit> 6Crys nods to John, bowing her head in thanks, then goes back to watching the two out.
09[22:19] <13Jennifer> "I saw it with my own eyes, wings of light like that Twilight guy had dark ones."
[22:19] <13@Kit> <Chii> I-- I don't want to stay!
[22:20] <13@DeathStar> <John> Hey, if we come back, maybe you and I can hang out together, Crys. I'm pretty funny I'm told
[22:20] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> And what if you get overwhelmed in a fight and die? What then?
[22:20] <13@Kit> 6Dawn groans, then opens his eyes a bit, peering over. 1"...Cheryl."
[22:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers over at Dawn. "Huh. He speaks."
[22:20] <13@Kit> 6Chii stammers. 1"I- I won't!"
[22:20] <13@Kit> <Dawn> ...Reis... --Sol. ..." 6He mumbles quietly.
[22:21] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Is that westward?
[22:21] <13@Kit> <Ayame> ...Yeah. Sol is west.
[22:21] <13Dias`> 6Dias bounces over to X and Tsu. 1"This is gonna be quite the battle."
[22:21] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Yeah. I think I got an idea where your evil duplicate is going then
[22:21] <13@Kit> <Tsukiyomi> Battle.
[22:21] <13@DeathStar> <X> Yes. Tsukiyomi will defeat this monster.
[22:21] <13Dias`> <Dias> Not if I defeat it first.
[22:22] <13@Kit> 6Tsukiyomi eyes X. 1"Key defeat. Monster?"
[22:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chii - they might need the gear form, despite Cheryl's low energy level
[22:22] <13@DeathStar> <X> Yes. You will beat it
[22:22] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine, you can come.
[22:22] <13Dias`> 6Dias points at himself. 1"What about me?!"
[22:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leans over to pick Chii up like a little kid
[22:22] <13@DeathStar> <X> You will take the hits for us
[22:22] <13@Kit> 6Chii elates, then pouts, being handled like that.
[22:23] <13@Kit> <Tsukiyomi> Dias. Tank.
[22:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Kane pockets the crystal for now. John leans an arm around Ayama. "Hi. My name is John."
[22:23] <13Dias`> 6Dias crosses his arms, looking away. 1"Hmpf. I'll take it down myself than AND Take hits.
15[22:23] * 13Jennifer sighs a bit and grins at John.
[22:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves to give her a piggyback ride.
[22:23] <13@Kit> <Ayame> Hi, my name is dismemberment.
[22:23] <13@DeathStar> <John> Well, Dis', if you want to take a look at my member for some adjustments, I'm fine with that
[22:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* John does remove his arm, clearly just kidding around
[22:24] <13@Kit> <Ayame> Huh. You're funny. I like you.
15[22:24] * 13Jennifer giggles a bit.
[22:24] <13@DeathStar> <John> Thanks.
[22:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl squints at Ayame. "How do we get out of this forest again?"
[22:24] <13@Kit> <Ayame> I walked.
[22:24] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... lets go find that hole.
[22:24] <13@Kit> <Crys> Cheryl.
[22:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks back at Crys.
[22:24] <13@Kit> <Crys> There's a faster way.
[22:25] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah? What?
[22:25] <13@Kit> 6Crys reaches up and undoes the ribbon with the bell, holding it out to Cheryl.
[22:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes the ribbon with the bell. "Hope it didn't involve me wearing this."
[22:25] <13@Kit> <Crys> I've stored my ability in it.
[22:26] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> That gais thing?
[22:26] <13@Kit> <Crys> No... that was Hawthorn's power over me. Mine is...
15[22:26] * 13Jennifer stretches a bit.
[22:26] <13@Kit> <Elder> Time." 6She muses, at the doorway. 1"Yes, handy when you're short of it. Though I will give you an exceptionally efficient manner of getting to Sol."
[22:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* John peers at the alcohol bottle Ayame has curiously
09[22:27] <13Jennifer> "Efficient?"
[22:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl raises a brow now
[22:27] <13@Kit> 6Ayame holds it out of reach. 1"Mine."
09[22:27] <13Jennifer> "What will it freeze time or something?"
[22:27] <13@Kit> <Crys> Yes.
15[22:27] * 13Jennifer stares.
[22:27] <13@DeathStar> <John> Okay, okay. Just thought maybe you'd like to share some drinks - you know, Compare battle stories.
[22:27] <13Dias`> <Dias> Well let's get using it than so we can catch up.
[22:27] <13@Kit> <Ayame> Maybe later. Apparently Reis is in trouble.
[22:27] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Nice. I can stop time. Maybe I'll do it when you're in the middle of an orgasm, Chii
[22:27] <13@Kit> <Elder> Take this as well." 6She hands something like a wooden whistle to Cheryl.
15[22:27] * 13Jennifer goes a bit red.
[22:27] <13@Kit> <Chii> Th-That's mean!
[22:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes the whistle, peering at it, wondering why she's suddenly getting quest items
[22:28] <13@Kit> <Elder> You killed one of them, but with that, you should be able to use the other to get back to Sol without tuckering your young bones out.
[22:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* X peers at Raquel. "Do you need more energy? Now will be the last chance we might have to transfer."
[22:28] <13Dias`> 6Dias slowly eyes X now.
[22:28] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> The 'other'?
09[22:28] <13Jennifer> "...Well, it fits the mystical instrument requirement... barely."
[22:29] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel glances at X, then catches Dias' look, and shakes her head, "I... I think I'm fine."
[22:29] <13@DeathStar> <John> I prefer orcarinas myself.
[22:29] <13@Kit> <Elder> Yes. Crys was in charge of Aesir-- I, as the elder, was in charge of the Lumen Behemoths guarding our village.
[22:29] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...you want us to ride one of those THINGS?
[22:29] <13@Kit> <Elder> Is there a problem?
[22:29] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> No, not really.
09[22:29] <13Jennifer> "We need a magic guitar sometime so I can like, rock out our enemies." *she grins at John*
[22:29] <13@DeathStar> <John> A regular guitar hero
[22:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* X doesn't offer Lilith kisses - she gets energy from her constantly anyway
[22:30] <13@Kit> <Lilith> Does this mean you no longer require practice, mistress?
15[22:30] * 13Jennifer giggles a bit and smiles happily. "That's me."
[22:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl reaches up and begins to get her hair in a ponytail, tying it up with the ribbon
[22:30] <13Dias`> 6Dias sighs and rubs his face
[22:30] <13@DeathStar> <X> I still need practice not to take or give energy.
[22:30] <13@Kit> 6Chii eyes the whistle, then narrows her eyes, remaining very quiet now since she's no longer required for travel.
[22:32] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Alright, then
[22:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves to get some distance, then brings the whistle to her lips, and tries to blow it
[22:33] <13@Kit> <Elder> Ahem.
[22:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* X eyes Dias, as if debating taking his energy.
[22:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses, eyeing him
[22:33] <13@Kit> 6She eyes Cheryl. 1"Outside, preferably."
[22:33] <13Dias`> 6Dias lowers his hand than looks at X. 1"What?"
[22:33] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Sheesh. How far do you want me to go? 6* Goes to get more distance
[22:33] <13@DeathStar> <X> You look like you have plenty of energy.
[22:34] <13Dias`> <Dias> Well yeah, I always do when I sense a fight.
[22:34] <13@Kit> 6Tsukiyomi moves over, eyeing the bell on Cheryl, giggling and batting at it.
[22:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sighs a bit now. "Never going to live this down."
[22:34] <13@Kit> <Lilith> Ruffian.
[22:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* X leans over to kiss Dias, and take some energy to refill her reserves, then goes to follow Cheryl
[22:34] <13@Kit> 6Chii swats at Tsukiyomi. 1"Hey. My bellgirl."
[22:35] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... ...
[22:35] <13Dias`> <Dias> Come on Lil-6He kisses back and pants slighlty to catch his breath after she breaks it off
[22:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl debates just wearing it around her neck
[22:35] <13@Kit> 6Tsukiyomi makes a face and swats back-- the two slap fight behind Cheryl as a rumbling resounds.
[22:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* X walks up, peering at the two. She leans over to yank Chii's tail
[22:36] <13@Kit> 6Chii rears, squealing sharply.
[22:36] <13@DeathStar> <John> Hey, Cheryl, you look pretty with a ribbon in your hair, you should --- 6* He's punched across the area by Cheryl
15[22:36] * 13Jennifer blinks and looks over at X and Chii.
[22:36] <13@Kit> 6Tsukiyomi points and laughs, then pauses, eyeing John. She looks to Cheryl, frightened now.
[22:36] <13Dias`> 6Dias moves after X, whistling as John goes flying back
[22:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Tsuki, then sighs. "Fine, you can hit the bell."
[22:36] <13@Kit> 6In front of Cheryl, a deep rumbling resounds again, and then the air wavers, the chameleon-like effect wearing off of yet another gigantic Lumen Behemoth.
[22:37] <13@Kit> 6Tsukiyomi tilts her head. 1"Bell?"
[22:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tilts her head to let the ponytail dangle in front of Tsuki. X points at the object. "Bell."
[22:37] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel tenses, and hopes this one doesn't get hungry.
[22:37] <13@Kit> 6Tsukiyomi nods intently, as if taking a stern lesson from Cheryl. 1"Yes. Bell!"
[22:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* John puts a hand on Raquel, having recovered already. "I hear they don't like the taste of pretty, young girl."
[22:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Kane gets onto the creature, tentatively
[22:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* John picks Raquel up and hops up himself.
[22:38] <13@Kit> 6Kane crawls up a mountain of muscle and fur.
15[22:38] * 13Jennifer climbs on up.
[22:38] <13Dias`> 6Dias starts climbing up.
[22:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sighs, shaking her head, causing the bell to bounce about
[22:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* X ripples to the top for herself and Lil
[22:38] <13@Kit> 6Ayame coils, then springs up the good twenty or so feet up in one bound, landing with her spear.
[22:38] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel looks embarassed, holding on best she can with one arm
[22:39] <13@Kit> 6Tsukiyomi eyes the bell ringing-- then can't help it. She bats at it again, giggling nervously.
[22:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers at what Ayame did, letting Tsuki bat at it. She picks Tsuki and Chii both up, then leaps up 10 feet, then another to land on the top.
[22:39] <13@Kit> 6Lilith grabs Tsukiyomi, grabbing her and pulling her away with a dejected, sad expression.
[22:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Or just Chii.
[22:40] <13Dias`> 6Dias makes it to the top of the beast and he plops down now, letting out puff of air
[22:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers about from the top, then moves to stand on it's head area, crossing her arms. "Alright, take us to Sol."
[22:40] <13@Kit> 6Tsukiyomi points at their feet. 1"Big. Kitty."
[22:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* X looks at Dias, relaxed and energetic now
15[22:40] * 13Jennifer looks over at Raquel. "You okay there Raq?"
[22:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* John sets Raquel down once up.
[22:40] <13@Kit> 6The behemoth looks back at the kitty comment, growling, then grunts at Cheryl. It coils, then launches forward, instantly giving the group the force of a train at a good speed-- dodging through the trees.
[22:41] <13Dias`> 6Dias tumbles back until he grabs onto some hair and stops
[22:41] <13@Kit> 6Tsukiyomi shrieks, sliding right off-- Lilith grabs her with one hand, sighing.
[22:41] <13@Ariel> 6* Raquel just focuses on not falling off.
[22:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* X helps Lilith pull her up. John holds onto Raquel
[22:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts to sit and relax, the bell probably bounching around like mad now
[22:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* KAne stumbles and almost falls, holding onto Ayame
[22:42] <13@Kit> 6After several mad jingles, the bell's sound reverberates, as if lowering in bandwidth. It begins to sound like a drab, howl instead of a concise jostle, all sounds around them, all movement, everything halting.
[22:43] <13@Kit> 6Ayame sits, drinking-- as if not even noticing Kane.
[22:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* John sits in front of Ayame, cross legged, peering at her
[22:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances about. "Interesting. Wonder if I can keep this once we leave."
[22:44] <13Dias`> <Dias> Turning into a giant dragoon not enough for ya?
[22:44] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Willing the universe around you not enough for you?
09[22:44] <13Jennifer> "Certainly is convienent."
[22:44] <13@Kit> <Ayame> I doubt it. The girl said she stored her power in it.
[22:44] <13Dias`> <Dias> Not when it gives me brain damage.
[22:45] <13@DeathStar> <John> So, I see you're pretty handy with a spear.
[22:45] <13@Kit> <Ayame> Not really.
[22:45] <13@DeathStar> <John> Yeah? What are you good at, then?
[22:45] <13@Kit> <Ayame> My bare hands.
[22:45] <13@DeathStar> <John> Same here. Want to spar sometime?
09[22:46] <13Jennifer> "That I'd like to watch."
[22:46] <13@Kit> 6Ayame slowly glances at him. 1"Sure. If you live through this. I'm almost immortal, don't know about you."
[22:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl closes her eyes, dozing
09[22:46] <13Jennifer> "She got up from a headshot."
[22:46] <13Dias`> <Dias> He survived a fight against me.
[22:46] <13@DeathStar> <John> Eh. I can take a beating. Important thing is trying, not winning
[22:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* X uses Lilith's lap as a pillow to rest on
[22:47] <13@Kit> <Ayame> I think the dead might disagree with you there, Johnny.
[22:47] <13@DeathStar> <John> Many people disagree with me. Dead or alive.
[22:47] <13@Kit> 6Lilith smiles at X, then pauses when Tsukiyomi mimics her and does the same. She frowns a bit, but doesn't know what to do about it.
[22:48] <13@Kit> 6Chii clings to Cheryl, eyeing her dozing off, so she lies her head down to do the same.
09[22:48] <13Jennifer> "Johnny?" *she blinks, looking at John* "Never thought about that." *she smiles a bit*
[22:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl wraps an arm around Chii to bring her closer to herself as she sleeps
[22:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* JOhn gives Jen a wink
[22:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* John stretches a bit. "So, what do I need to do to get some of the booze?"
[22:51] <13@Kit> <Ayame> Enchant your own. Or have a lover give it to you and die.
[22:51] <13@DeathStar> <John> Sounds risky.
[22:51] <13Dias`> 6Dias peers up at the mention of booze.
15[22:51] * 13Jennifer giggles a bit. "I think I still like calling you Sensei."
[22:51] <13@Kit> 6Ayame looks forward. 1"I'd say about a day with this beast's movement. ...Thanks to that little trinket, I think we may be able to stop that thing before it gets to Reis and Sol.."
[22:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* John shifts to lay back, his hands behind his head.
[22:52] <13Dias`> <Dias> Why's it going after Reis?
[22:52] <13@DeathStar> <John> We'll save her.
[22:53] <13@Kit> <Ayame> It's probably going to where it can make the most damage quickly... I would have thought Hawthorne, but now that I think about it-- Reis is in charge of Reia and her wyrmlings.
[22:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* John shivers at the name Reia
15[22:54] * 13Jennifer blinks a bit. "Bad runin Sensei?"
[22:54] <13Dias`> <Dias> For being the end or whatever, it doesn't seem to be that dangerous.
[22:54] <13@DeathStar> <JOhn> No idea. Just felt this chill
[22:55] <13@Kit> <Ayame> Well, think of it this way, Dias. It corrupts things... Sure alone it isn't very threatening right now..
[22:55] <13@DeathStar> <John> .....
[22:55] <13@Kit> <Ayame> But how about after it corrupts and turns the world's greatest mystic genius against us-- and her army of holy dragons?
[22:55] <13Dias`> <Dias> So....You think it's going to corrupt these wyrmling thigns
[22:56] <13Dias`> <Dias> I've dealt with corruption before and I walked away from it. I'm not scared of it.
[22:56] <13@Kit> <Ayame> Reis is pretty competent, even if she isn't a fighter-- she's a thinker. I wouldn't want to go against her.. Reia is equally nasty in human form, let alone her true. To hell with fighting one hundred and twenty-six white wyrms.
[22:58] <13Dias`> <Dias> One thing I learned about thinkers. 6He wiggles his finger in his ear. 1"They can never plan for everything.
[22:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* John peers at Dias putting his finger in his ear, then rubs the back of his head a bit. "You should stop doing that. Girls don't like that, man."
[22:58] <13@Kit> <Ayame> Haa. If we were so lucky... Personally, I think if Reis is possessed, it's game over. Perhaps not just for our reality.
[22:59] <13@Kit> -Time Jump-
[22:59] <13@Kit> Location: Nezereb, east of Sol, most of a day later.
[23:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stretches a bit, her energy back to what it should be. She seems to have forgotten all about the ribbon as well as she sits there. X is now sitting up, peering about
[23:00] <13@Kit> 6The Lumen Behemoth waits outside the entry to a city made from a giant mountain-sized boulder split like pie slices, the city sparsely populated with researches and mystics, supposedly. The bell's timestop effect ended a while ago, the bell warm and lifeless to the touch-- but rapidly cooling. Supposedly it can be used again if it cools, but it will take time.
[23:01] <13@DeathStar> <Cheryl> So, what's this place?
[23:01] <13Dias`> 6Dias rests his hands against the back of his neck. 1"And are we behind them or ahead of them?
[23:02] <13@Kit> 6For now they are about the same distance from Sol as the fallen spirit, yet apparently he has passed southwardly through Nexus-- reports are coming in that the city is paniced and uprisings are occuring of all castes of people, most just losing their minds. Some looting, some pillaging, some raping, others just setting the place on fire-- and the effect is spreading outside the city.
[23:02] <13@DeathStar> <John> ... 6* He has his arms crossed, listening to people talk about what's happening. "Wonder if I should head there and see if I can help."
[23:03] <13@Kit> 6Twilight itself never even seemed to stop, still heading for Sol, the effect passing in its wake-- according to pinging Lemon. If the bell cools, they'll have to use it to just barely catch up giving them only around six hours of downtime to prepare for a battle against all of the sins of a reality incarnate. Sol the battleground.
[23:03] <13@Kit> <Ayame> If you need rest, rest. If you need equipment, I suggest having it tempered now. This is it.
[23:03] <13@Kit> -END-
