[20:02] <@DeathStar> Reality Day: 39
[20:02] <@DeathStar> Location: Cave
[20:03] <@DeathStar> 6* The snow continues to fall outside and the weather dipping as the storm continues. Inside the cave is surprisingly warm, either due to it's design, or the fire that's kept going. It is now morning, after a long night for everyone after losing their awesome leader, Cheryl. Lemon, having no real supplies to make food, has gathered what rations there were on people
[20:04] <@DeathStar> 6* John sits back, sighing. "I can see why Cheryl took advantage of the tavern supplies to make us a meal the other day. Because we're low on food supplies, too."
06[20:04] * @Jennifer sits up, rubbing her eyes a bit and yawning, she looks at the fire, then around at everyone else. Straightening out a bit, she turns her gaze to Lemon.
[20:04] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon passes around rations based on people's size, then puts the rest in her dimensional pocket.
01[20:04] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane has adjusted his suit for the weather outside, standing there. He nods slightly towards John. 1Yes. Most of our excess supplies was taken by Raquel.
01[20:04] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole takes his ultra large ration and starts to eat it.
[20:05] <@DeathStar> <John> Unfortunately, by the time she realizes, finding us could take years.
[20:05] <@Jennifer> "Yeah... we can hope for a reality soon with a good grocery store." *accepts hers and starts to eat, Cameron quietly takes his and eats*
[20:05] <@DeathStar> 6* Cole got a normal sized one
01[20:05] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole knows that, but it's ultra large in his eyes.
01[20:05] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane nods his thanks and begins to chew on his.
[20:06] <@DeathStar> <John> So what's the plan, Binary? 6* He asks Kane now.
[20:06] <@Jennifer> "Wish I'd said something, gotten them to stop running off..." *she looks back at the fire as she takes another bite*
[20:06] <Kit> <Chii> ...I'm not hungry.
01[20:06] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane shakes his head. 1Look for the crystal I assume. Since I'm certain you don't know where they'll be taking Cheryl.
[20:06] <@DeathStar> 6* Scott is quiet, keeping his ration on his body for now for later.
[20:07] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> You need to eat. 6* She tells Chii simply.
[20:07] <@DeathStar> <John> In this snow storm, finding it won't be easy.
06[20:07] * @Jennifer looks over at Chii. "Lemon's right, with all the damage you took and the energy you spent... you need it."
[20:07] <Kit> <Chii> I'm on a diet.
06[20:07] * @Jennifer frowns a little.
01[20:07] <@Xanatos> <Kane> I was hoping it would die out. It's been going for a while. 6He notes with a frown.
[20:07] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> .... If you don't eat, I won't lead you to the crystal, and you won't find a 'esper'.
[20:08] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon says this in a Cheryl edged tone
[20:08] <Kit> 6Chii blinks, then grinds her teeth slightly.
[20:08] <@DeathStar> 6* John peers over at Lemon now
06[20:08] * @Jennifer looks between the two quietly.
[20:08] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon takes a bite of her own ration, her blue eyes locked onto Chii.
01[20:08] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane watches them, finishing his ration.
01[20:09] <@Xanatos> 6 Cole lets out an ahh and pats his stomach. 1Batteries recharged and ready to go Cap'n.
[20:09] <@DeathStar> 6* The spider-bot rests on Cole's head, having attached itself like ahat
01[20:09] <@Xanatos> <Cole> He's ready too. 6He notes, pointing up to the spider.
[20:09] <@Jennifer> * Cameron finishes and looks over the group. "I can attempt to alter the weather, it's a large alchemy and I make no promises."
01[20:10] <@Xanatos> <Kane> It'd be best to just save your energy for any threats.
[20:10] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon keeps peering at Chii, waiting for her to eat.
[20:10] <Kit> 6Chii growls, then shoves it in her mouth and gets up, angrily storming off to the entrance.
[20:10] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> Chii. 6* She states the one word like Cheryl might.
01[20:10] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane steps back so Chii doesn't shove him in the fire or something to get past him.
[20:11] <@DeathStar> 6* John leans back against a rock. Scott seems to be studying Lemon curiously now
[20:12] <Kit> What!?" 6She mumbles over her ration, making a face as she tries to chew on it.
06[20:12] * @Jennifer watches Lemon now with a slightly confused expression.
[20:12] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> I'm sorry Mistress Cheryl was taken on my account - which I plan to rectify by finding her as soon as possible. However, in the five months I've been gone, I've gone over how Mistress Cheryl would run things, and your attitude is counter productive in us finding crystal, Mistress Cheryl, or Ben. If you insist on acting out, storming off, being mean to others, I will not aid you in finding crystals and will move to the next reality
[20:13] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> Because at this point, I am the only fuctional device that can locate or synch us. So sit back down, please.
01[20:13] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane tilts his head, glancing from Lemon to John, then back to Lemon.
[20:14] <@Jennifer> "Five months? It was that long for you?" *her tone carries her concern*
[20:14] <Kit> <Chii> Forcing me to do anything but vent and whisking us through realities without any cincture to what may be in them is just as counterproductive. Don't threaten me, Lem. You might understand me, but that doesn't mean you know everything.
[20:14] <Kit> <Chii> It just might be that doing what I'm doing now is what keeps me from doing anything else more severe. I was gone much longer than five months and had to deal with my own problems being shoved in my face without anyone else to tell me how.
[20:14] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> And you certainly don't know everything either. 6* She snaps now, standing up. "Mistress Cheryl would not have you rushing off in a dangerous reality we know nothing about with a legendary crystal."
[20:15] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> And what would she do if you got yourself injured because you insisted on storming off to 'vent'
[20:15] <Kit> <Chii> I didn't say I was going anywhere. Snow's calming.
[20:15] <Kit> 6Chii tchs, and moves to the entrance, sitting down.
01[20:15] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane glances to Chii, then the snow.
06[20:15] * @Jennifer watches Chii move and looks to Lemon again.
[20:16] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon eyes Chii. "And I know you were gone longer than five months. But my primary goal is to protect you in addition to finding Mistress Cheryl and Ben. And I will do that. If you like it or not, if you hate me or not.
[20:16] <@Jennifer> * Cameron lets out a breath and pulls his coat shut, fixing his gloves as he mvoes to stand.
[20:16] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks at Kane, then kneels again by the fire, closing her eyes.
06[20:16] * @Jennifer shifts a little closer to Lemon and looks at the fire again.
[20:16] <@DeathStar> 6* John rubs the back of his head
01[20:17] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane glances to Lemon. 1 I see. It seems you've changed Lemon.
[20:17] <Kit> 6Chii holds her palm out of the cave, watching flakes collect and melt on her hand.
[20:17] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> ... 6* She just makes a troubled expression.
[20:17] <@DeathStar> 6* Scott speaks up. "IS it wise to even try for a crystal in this weather? We could mark it down adn come back later, right?"
01[20:18] <@Xanatos> <Cole> Legendary Crystals are pretty awesome. It's what I use.
[20:18] <@Jennifer> "Of course she changed... she was their prisoner for five months... how couldn't she?" *she looks up at Lemon*
[20:18] <@Jennifer> Cameron> "For all we know it could always snow here, we could be in a polar ice cap."
01[20:18] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane eyes Jennifer. 1 Lemon. What would you have us do? 6He asks now, glancing to her.
[20:19] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon opens her eyes. "Tactically, staying more than a day wouldn't be wise, considering we'll need rations to keep our energy up in the snow storm. Teh legendary crystal is many miles from her, from what I can tell. It could take most of the day just to travel those miles, and we don't know what defenses it will have. It's a risk Cheryl would not likely take beyond a day.
01[20:20] <@Xanatos> <Kane> So do we move on and return?
[20:20] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> I do not know. 6* She admits. "We could take a vote - see who thinks risking a day here is worth it. But I will not allow us to stay more than that."
01[20:20] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane nods once, then peers around at the others.
[20:21] <@Jennifer> "Last time we were in a reality with a crystal of this magnitude... we lost Dias and Lemon... I personally think we should move on for now."
[20:21] <@DeathStar> <Scott> We should move on. <John> Stay and get it
06[20:21] * @Jennifer blinks and looks over at John.
01[20:21] <@Xanatos> <Cole> Legendaries are called that for a reason. We move on, we risk letting them get it. Stay.
[20:21] <@DeathStar> <John> Cole's right, and the facts you listed are why we need it even more
[20:22] <@DeathStar> <John> We don't have supplies, people, or manpower anymore.
[20:22] <@Jennifer> "I guess... I'm just looking at it as a sort of gamble, considering how much of a blow we've taken lately."
[20:23] <@Jennifer> Cameron> "I vote we stay, a day can't hurt us any more then the next reality might."
01[20:23] <@Xanatos> <Kane> We're just as likely to fail here as anywhere else. But the gain for succeeding here is very great.
06[20:23] * @Jennifer looks over at Chii with concern. "...Well... yeah you're right."
[20:23] <Kit> <Chii> Not 'great.' Invaluable.
[20:24] <@DeathStar> <John> Sounds like we're going to go for it.
06[20:24] * @Jennifer rubs the back of her head nervously.
[20:25] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> We can also go back to one of the few realities I flagged for supplies.
[20:25] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> Afterwards.
01[20:25] <@Xanatos> <Kane> Yes that sounds like a good idea.
[20:26] <@Jennifer> "Agreed... maybe that reality where we summoned things? It was pretty peaceful when we left it and they supplies were good."
[20:26] <Kit> <Chii> They've already displayed that they can track us given some time-- and that they're finding crystals with large signatures. Just by stepping foot here, we've given them two reasons to detect the place-- and now that we've rested, we've given them time. Time we can't measure since it flows differently outside this realm.
[20:26] <Kit> <Chii> If we leave, it's not certain, but we could good as well count that we've lost this crystal, and a legendary one at that.
[20:27] <@Jennifer> "So... we at least take a shot at it."
[20:27] <@DeathStar> <John> Well, they might not care about us anymore, considering they got Cheryl.
06[20:27] * @Jennifer looks down when John says that.
[20:27] <Kit> <Chii> Maybe not as much, but we're still a pain in their ass, have many crystals, and again, would flare this crystal's location up as an interest point.
01[20:27] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane nods once. 1It's curious that Cheryl would be more important than the crystals though.
[20:27] <Kit> <Chii> Besides, I don't know what the hell they want Cherry for-- and we're linked.
[20:27] <@DeathStar> <John> I've been thinking about that, and I came up with an idea.
[20:28] <@Jennifer> "Huh...?"
06[20:28] * @Jennifer looks up, rubbing her eyes again, hiding her face for a moment as she does.
[20:28] <@DeathStar> <John> Some realities are similiar - I'm just wondering if there's some connection to the "evil" Warren and your reality's Ben/Cheryl.
01[20:28] <@Xanatos> <Kane> It's the only thing I could come up with.
[20:29] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon finally opens her eyes, taking in a deep breath through her nose, and letting it out of her mouth
[20:29] <@Jennifer> "He might be from one of the realities that spawned early on... mine and Kane's reality was different based on only a few minor differences..."
[20:29] <@Jennifer> "Well... whopping big ones if you consider that... huh..."
[20:30] <@DeathStar> <John> Anyway, we should probably head out. Right, Leader? 6* He asks Lemon, who blinks blankly, as if the name didn't register, then blinks again as it does.
06[20:30] * @Jennifer looks thoughtful now.
01[20:30] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane gets an amused look.
[20:30] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon gets to her feet, shifting her tactical suit into a heavy duty coat. Scott does the same thing, as does John
[20:31] <@Jennifer> "Cheryl was one of the key differences in our reality..." *she fixes her suit, which was adapted the previou day for the cold*
01[20:32] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole hops to his feet and rotates his shoulder. It's about to get cold buddy, better be ready. 6He notes to the spider bot.
01[20:32] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole hops to his feet and rotates his shoulder. 1It's about to get cold buddy, better be ready. 6He notes to the spider bot.
06[20:32] * @Jennifer looks over at Cole. "Are you okay in the chill? I still don't know enough about your physiology."
[20:32] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> I will lead the way. Visibility will be cut low, so.... 6* She ponders.
[20:32] <Kit> 6Chii peers back, then rises, shifting her suit to a polar ninja parka.
01[20:33] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane shifts, glancing towards Lemon
[20:33] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> Holding hands might cause too much tripping. Do we have a long rope?
06[20:34] * @Jennifer fumbles around with her bag, "Just a short one here... maybe one of Chii's cables or something...?"
01[20:34] <@Xanatos> <Kane> I have my cable.
01[20:34] <@Xanatos> 6 Kane begins to unwind it.
06[20:35] * @Jennifer smiles softly. "You gotta show me how to pack one of those."
01[20:35] <@Xanatos> 6* Jennifer may notice that the cable is unwinding from a device on his belt.
[20:36] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon nods, moving over to take the end when Kane is done.
06[20:36] * @Jennifer peers at it, like a scout finding a new toy.
[20:36] <@DeathStar> 6* Scott moves over to Chii, glancing at her. He's quiet, though, not pushing any advice
01[20:36] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane holds onto it, glancing to Lemon. 1We might think about wrapping it around us, but if we were to get snagged by something large, it could cut us in half.
[20:37] <@Jennifer> * Cameron looks over at it. "Metal cables?"
[20:37] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> That doesn't sound pleasant. 6* She makes a face. "Keeping a hand on it should be enough, right?"
[20:37] <Kit> <Chii> ...I have regular rope.
01[20:38] <@Xanatos> <Kane> Enough for all of us?
[20:38] <@Jennifer> Cameron> "Hold on a--" *he looks over at Chii*
[20:38] <Kit> <Chii> Two fifty-foot coils.
06[20:38] * @Jennifer just lets people sort it out, sitting back a bit, she keeps glancing at Lemon.
[20:38] <Kit> 6Chii reaches back into her main pouch behind the waist that her swords rest on, pulling out bundles in either hand.
[20:38] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> That sounds safer.
[20:38] <@Jennifer> Cameron> "Well, enough for everyone and Cole."
[20:39] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon moves over to take the rope
[20:39] <Kit> <Chii> You can use the metal one on him if there's not enough.
01[20:39] <@Xanatos> <Cole> I think he just called us fat.
01[20:39] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane winds back up his cable.
[20:40] <@Jennifer> Cameron> Mmm... mainly implying your large size my armored friend, not your bulk.
[20:40] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon takes the rope, then begins to tie it around her waist, then holds out the end of the rope for the next person who goes behind her
06[20:40] * @Jennifer takes it gently and wraps it around herself, passing it on.
01[20:40] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane takes it and wraps it around him then holds it out behind him.
[20:41] <@DeathStar> 6* John and Scott fall into line whereever; once everyone is secured, Lemon begins to step out into the howling wind
01[20:42] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole is at the end, being the anchor if this was a rope pulling contest.
[20:42] <@Jennifer> * Cameron takes it and wraps it around himself whereever as well, Jenn follows Lemon.
01[20:42] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane moves along, holding up a arm slightly to shield his glasses.
[20:43] <@DeathStar> 6* The snow seems packed in, though their feet would sink into it with each step, making it seem like they're exerting twice the effort to walk - the gravity is also a little stronger in this reality, it seems. Lemon shuffles ahead, somehow managing to keep going, despite lack of crystals
[20:44] <Kit> 6Chii takes up the rear, having used her tactsuit to form a pair of enclosed sunglasses.
01[20:44] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole trudges along. Kane clears his throat and calls out. 1I have an excess of crystals if you need some Lemon.
[20:45] <@Jennifer> * Cameron moves with his usual ignorance of the weather, though still bothered by the deep snow, Jennifer works herself to keep up with Lemon's pace, crystals or no, she's still a shrimp.
[20:45] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> I will be fine. 6* She calls back.
01[20:45] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane shifts to nod, despite her not really seeing it.
06[20:46] * @Jennifer frowns a bit, possibly not liking the idea of Lemon being trackable again, but she says nothing as she keeps on.
03[20:47] * Jackieness (Psy@h210.31.40.69.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) has joined #taw
01[20:48] <@Xanatos> <Cole> I think my joints are freezing.
[20:48] <@DeathStar> 6* The spider-bot begins to emit heat into Cole
[20:48] <@Jennifer> * Cameron tilts his head. "I could help with that if you're comforterable with a little graffiti."
01[20:49] <@Xanatos> <Cole> No need. My buddy has be covered.
[20:49] <@Jennifer> Cameron> "Useful little chap."
[20:49] <@DeathStar> 6* The wind begins to pick up again and soon visibility with each other vanishes.
01[20:50] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane makes a face, making sure the rope is tout.
01[20:50] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole waves his arms around to see if that would make Cameron visible.
[20:50] <@DeathStar> 6* A large hand comes down on Chii's shoulder from behind
[20:50] <@DeathStar> 6* Then snags her so roughly it would send everyone jerking backwards
06[20:51] * @Jennifer holds onto her rope a little bit, Cameron tilts his head to the other side and grabs his rope.
01[20:51] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane grunts as he's jerked back. Cole lets out a howl of confusion.
06[20:51] * @Jennifer eeeps as as she jerks back. "Wha...?"
[20:51] <@DeathStar> 6* John stumbles into the snow, and Scott peers about blindly.
01[20:51] <@Xanatos> <Kane> WHAT'S GOING ON!? 6he calls out.
[20:51] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon strains to remain upright
[20:52] <@Jennifer> Cameron> "Bloody hell if I know, can anyone see anything?"
[20:52] <@DeathStar> 6* Cameron's vocie isn't heard - since he isn't TALKING NI APS
[20:52] <@DeathStar> *caps
01[20:52] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole tries to get a heat reading from everyone.
[20:53] <@DeathStar> 6* Cole would get that - and two giant Yetis, which are dragging Chii away, and everyone with her
06[20:53] * @Jennifer works to get herself up, shivering a bit. She stumbles as the rope drags her down again.
[20:53] <@DeathStar> 6* John looks about. "WHAT IS GOING ON?"
01[20:53] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole shifts around to pull up his minigun, charging. 1TWO CREATURES ARE DRAGGING CHII.
01[20:53] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole opens fire on the one that's holding Chii specifically.
[20:54] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon strains to hold ground, her fingers sliding along the snow. The Yeti howls and drops Chii. The Yeti slaps the Dias Yeti, pointing at Cole
[20:54] <Dias`> 6The Dias Yeti roars loudly
[20:54] <@DeathStar> 6* The other Yeti roars painfully, then charges at Cole
[20:55] <@DeathStar> 6* John holds up a hand, forming flames, trying to get a good look through the blizzard
[20:55] <Dias`> 6The Dias Yeti charges along side the Yeti Leader
01[20:55] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole lets out a whistle for his buddy to attach, then aims for the charging yeti, firing for his legs.
01[20:55] <@Xanatos> <Cole> HERE THEY COME!
06[20:55] * @Jennifer looks around, trying to make sense of what's going on.
[20:55] <@DeathStar> 6* The Yeti falls over as his leg is torn off. He cries pitifully in the snow
[20:55] <@DeathStar> 6* John shouts back. "I CAN'T SEE ANYTHING. WANT ME TO AIM AT YOUR VOICE?"
[20:55] <Dias`> 6The Dias Yeti roars loudly and leaps into the air, coming down for Cole-train
01[20:55] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane frowns, not liking this inability to see his target.
01[20:56] <@Xanatos> <Cole> ACK! 6He tries to dive to avoid it, even if it means dragging everyone.
[20:56] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon gets to her feet again, then squeals as Cole does that
[20:56] <@DeathStar> 6* Scott sinks into the snow as Cole does it, and John throws the fire at Cole's ack - right at the Yeti
[20:56] <Dias`> 6The Dias Yeti lands in the snow where Cole was and he swings his arm out to smack it
[20:56] <@Jennifer> * Cameron slaps his hands together... and yelps as he goes flying, Jennifer cries out in surprise as she does too.
01[20:57] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane growls, trying to get sight of something to shoot.
[20:57] <@DeathStar> 6* KAne would just see snow.
01[20:57] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole activates his katar, jerking it up to let the yeti smack into it.
[20:57] <Dias`> 6The Dias Yeti lights up like a christmas tree and starts swinging around frantically
01[20:58] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole aims and starts firing towards him.
06[20:58] * @Jennifer pulls out her gun, sets it to stun and aims for the dancing wall of vaguely humanoid light and takes a shot at it.
[20:58] <@DeathStar> 6* JEnnifer would hear Scott get hit and fall over
[20:59] <Dias`> 6The Dias Yeti is hit several times and he falls over.
01[20:59] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole slowly moves over and nudges it to check and see if it's alive.
[21:00] <@DeathStar> 6* John gets to his feet once the Yetis are beaten, seemingly. "I think we lost someone, there's dead weight."
01[21:00] <@Xanatos> <Cole> Chii seems to be out. 6He notes loudly and lifts her up to hoist over his shoulder.
06[21:00] * @Jennifer groans and puts her gun away, feeling ashamed, she looks around. "Can we all get closer together?"
[21:01] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon gets to her feet, covered in snow. John looks about blindly, shouting. "I still feel dead weight."
01[21:01] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane shifts back and kneels. 1It's Scott. He was hit with a stun shot.
[21:01] <@Jennifer> "My fault! I thought I had a shot."
[21:01] <@DeathStar> 6* John smacks his face.
[21:01] <@Jennifer> "Get him closer so I can heal him up, Chii too."
[21:02] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon shivers a bit. More Yetis can be heard in the distance, approaching. She yells back. "We must keep moving."
01[21:02] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane lets out a breath. 1At least it was a stun. And they don't need healing. 6He lifts Scott up with a grunt, wondering how he got stuck carrying the grown man.
[21:02] <@Jennifer> "Chii's alright?"
01[21:02] <@Xanatos> <Kane> I have him. Continue.
01[21:02] <@Xanatos> <Cole> Yeah she's just staring at the ground. I think she's broken.
[21:02] <@Jennifer> Cameron> "You want to carry her or shall I, Cole."
01[21:03] <@Xanatos> <Cole> I got her. 6He notes, her already on his shoulder.
[21:03] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon begins to move forward again
06[21:03] * @Jennifer starts to move forward too, frowning a bit more, Cameron moves on as well.
01[21:04] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane lumbers forward, trying to keep his breathign steady.
01[21:05] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole glances around to see if the yeti's are closing in.
[21:05] <@DeathStar> 6* As they move onward, the blizzard suddenly stops - the reason being a cliff in front of them. Behind them, the Yetis track them at a distance
[21:06] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon stops in front of the cliff - the howling of the wind is just as loud, but now they can see each other. The cliff rises into the white mist above, making the height impossible to tell
01[21:06] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole squints. 1They're still back a ways.
01[21:06] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane kneels to take a breather.
[21:06] <@DeathStar> 6* John shakes snow off of himself, his breath showing. Lemon looks half-frozen, having fallen into the snow - ice has actually formed on parts of her coat
06[21:07] * @Jennifer moves over to check on Scott. Cameron eyes Lemon up and down and walks over to her. "Cold luv?"
[21:07] <@DeathStar> 6* John eyes Scott, then takes his ring off, putting it on.
[21:07] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks at Cameron. "Hm? No."
01[21:07] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and looks up and down the cliff. 1Should we start climbing?
[21:08] <@DeathStar> <John> Give me a moment to figure out this earth ring, and I'll see if I can lift us
[21:08] <@Jennifer> Cameron> "You look like a GOddess of the Ice my dear, are you sure you don't want something to warm you up?"
01[21:08] <@Xanatos> <Kane> Excellent idea.
[21:08] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon peers down at herself. "I don't feel cold . I don't actually feel anything."
06[21:08] * @Jennifer sighs and looks up. "Should I wake up Scott? I've still got stims and salts."
[21:09] <@Jennifer> * Cameron raises a brow. "Is that right... well as long as it can't harm you."
[21:10] <@DeathStar> <John> It would save Kane energy.
06[21:10] * @Jennifer nods and goes a little flsuh despite the cold and works to revive Scott.
[21:10] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon nods a few times, offering Cameron a smile for his cncern
01[21:10] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane frowns. 1Cameron, it means she's going into shock. Going numb.
[21:10] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon pauses, eyeing Kane, then eyes herself. "Hypothermia?"
[21:10] <@Jennifer> * Cameron frowns. "...Then we've got to get her some heat."
01[21:11] <@Xanatos> <Kane> It seems odd, considering we haven't yet.
[21:11] <@DeathStar> <John> Well, Kane you have a fire ring.
[21:11] <@DeathStar> <John> I have fire, too. Jennifer has 5 crystals.
[21:11] <@DeathStar> 6* Scott opens his eyes after a moment, sitting up
[21:12] <@Jennifer> * Cameron kneels down and draws a circle on the ground. "Step on here and I can make a small charm that will heat the air around you a little, it's how I ignore the chill or heat so often."
[21:12] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon does so.
01[21:12] <@Xanatos> <Kane> Does anyone else not feel cold?
[21:13] <@DeathStar> 6* The Yeti begins to approach again. <John> Cole's a reploid with a heat spider. Cameron is Cameron.
[21:13] <@Jennifer> * Cameron touches the circle and it glows, the air around her skin warming to a room temperature, the circle vanishes. "That should last a few hours, please tell me if the conditions change."
[21:13] <@DeathStar> <John> Chii's unconscious, but hot headed.
01[21:13] <@Xanatos> <Cole> Incoming.
[21:13] <@Jennifer> "You okay Scott?"
06[21:13] * @Jennifer eyes the Yeti's moving closer.
01[21:14] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole sets Chii down and takes aim with his minigun.
[21:14] <@DeathStar> <Scott> Yes.
[21:14] <Kit> 6Chii goes to hit John with a snowball.
[21:14] <Dias`> 6The Deti lets out a loud roar
[21:14] <@DeathStar> 6* Scott gets to his feet.
06[21:14] * @Jennifer pulls her gun back out with an almost apologetic look.
[21:14] <@Jennifer> * Cameron frowns and adjusts his gloves so the metal circles on them can be seen.
[21:14] <Kit> 6Chii pauses and shifts to throw the snowball at the yeti instead
[21:14] <@DeathStar> 6* John is hit by the snowball, focused on the ring. No one can see the Yetis, since they're still in the blizard part.
[21:15] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon flexes her fingers. "I feel tingling now."
[21:15] <Kit> <Chii> I don't feel shit, but I hear that.
[21:15] <Kit> 6Chii throws more snowballs for the yetis she hears.
[21:15] <@DeathStar> 6* Chii's snowball vanishes into the blizzard, carried off before touching them
[21:15] <@DeathStar> 6* As do the others.
[21:15] <@Jennifer> Cameron> "Good, numbness is fading and your blood is flowing. If you feel ill, have Jennifer look over you... actually have the kid play doctor anyway."
[21:15] <@DeathStar> 6* One Yeti leaps into sight, straight at Cole
01[21:15] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole acks and stumbles back, about to get pwned.
[21:16] <Dias`> 6A giant ball of snow comes flying in at Cameron
[21:17] <@Jennifer> * Cameron snaps his fingers, countering with a blast of fire.
01[21:17] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole get landed on by the yeti, letting out a grunt of pain.
[21:17] <@DeathStar> 6* Scott takes out his gun adn shoots at the yeti leaping at Cole
[21:17] <@DeathStar> 6* It rolls off
[21:17] <Dias`> 6Water flies in at him now
06[21:17] * @Jennifer aims her gun and fires at Cole's Yeti after it rolls.
01[21:17] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane shifts around to pull up his pistol, firing towards the only visible enemy.
[21:17] <@Jennifer> * Cameron steps to one side, part of his coat getting wet.
[21:17] <Dias`> 6The Deti finally comes running in now from the side, charging at Jennifer
[21:18] <@DeathStar> 6* Kane and Scott take down the yeti and it falls over, dead.
[21:18] <@DeathStar> <Scott> Jennifer. Look out
06[21:18] * @Jennifer looks about and cries out in surprise, fumbling with her gun.
01[21:18] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole oofs and pushes himself up.
01[21:18] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane shifts around to fire towards Jennifer's attacker.
[21:18] <Dias`> 6The Deti howls as it leaps at Jennifer, swinging for her side
06[21:19] * @Jennifer starts to leap backwards to get away from it, firing at her attacker.
[21:19] <@DeathStar> 6* Another Yeti rushes in at Lemon and leaps a ther. Kane's shot slows it down, but it smashes int oJen, then is shot, splattering blood all over her
01[21:20] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole shakes his head and aims up to fire at Lemon's leaping attacker.
[21:20] <Kit> 6Chii quickdraws and fires for the Yeti going at Lemon, granted off, she can't feel her hands.
06[21:20] * @Jennifer lets out a cry as she's hit and slides back along the snow, making a red streak in it.
[21:20] <@DeathStar> 6* The Yeti is slowed; Lemon's fist glows with energy and she punches through the Yeti's gut - then falls over as it's weight drags her down
01[21:20] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane fires for the leg on the yeti attacking Jen, to slow it.
[21:20] <@DeathStar> 6* Kane blows it's legs off and it falls over dead, pretty much done in when Jen got it
[21:21] <@DeathStar> <John> Alright, got it. 6* He begins to create rock platforms from the cliffside.
01[21:21] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane frowns slightly and holsters his weapon, moving over to try and help push the Yeti off Lemon.
[21:21] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon nods to Kane blankly, eyeing her bloodied arm
01[21:21] <@Xanatos> <Kane> Are you alright?
06[21:21] * @Jennifer crawls out from under the Yeti, panting a bit, she looks around nervously.
01[21:21] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole peers over at Jen.
[21:22] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> Yes. 6* She takes a deep breathm then moves up the platforms John is making. Scott moves up after helping Jennifer up
[21:22] <@Jennifer> * Cameron frowns a bit and looks over the corpses, then heads up the platforms, Jennifer heads after Scott.
[21:22] <Kit> 6Chii finishes forming awkward seals-- some could discern the individual ones since she does it slower than normal, then calls. 1"Katon..." 6Sleepily, then cries out as she sets herself literally on fire.
01[21:23] <@Xanatos> 6* Both Kane and Cole start to move with Cole giving Chii an odd look. 1You could've asked for help you know.
[21:23] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon stops, peering back at Chii. "Mistress?!"
06[21:23] * @Jennifer blinks, peering at Chii, she hops back down and runs over to her. "CHII!"
[21:23] <@DeathStar> 6* John pushes Chii into the snow
01[21:23] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane lets out a grunt of annoyance and jennifer trying to run to chii and pulling him along.
[21:23] <@DeathStar> 6* More Yetis can be heard approaching from the distance, not in sight yet - they sound more numerous
[21:24] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon is yanked off the platforms as Jennifer run and smashes her way down
06[21:24] * @Jennifer stops when the weight pulls her, she acks and grabs at Lemon to stop her fall.
[21:24] <@DeathStar> 6* Jennifer is too far/late.
01[21:25] <@Xanatos> 6 * Kane grinds his teeth, checking on Lemon again.
[21:25] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon pushes herself up, looking hurt, but refusing to show it like Cheryl might. John lifts Chii up to check her for burn damage.
01[21:25] <@Xanatos> <Cole> She okay?
06[21:25] * @Jennifer blinks and looks between Chii and then Lemon, and checks on Lemon since she can't get to Chii. "S-Sorry..."
[21:25] <Kit> <Chii> Good news. I can feel now.
[21:25] <@DeathStar> <John> Cole, since you're last, provide us cover, would you? Kane. help Lemon forward since you're closest to her
[21:26] <@DeathStar> 6* John sets Chii by Cole, sicne she's last, too
[21:26] <Kit> <Chii> Bad news, I feel John.
[21:26] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon listens to the roars of the Yeti, then begins to move up the platforms, albeit slowly now, clearly wary.
01[21:26] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane moves to help Lemon.
06[21:26] * @Jennifer moves again as to not be an anchor, she looks deeply troubled and distraught as she heads after the two.
01[21:27] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole glances behind them, trying to get view of the yeti with his heat scanner.
[21:27] <@DeathStar> 6* Scott gives Jen a look that indicates he's wondering about her danger levels. Warren might would be doing the same thing, ironically - at least Scott doesn't drive cars.
[21:27] <@Jennifer> * Cameron shakes his head quietly and moves along, a strange look in his eyes.
[21:27] <@DeathStar> 6* There appears to be 30 of them, approaching rapidly
[21:27] <@DeathStar> 6* Scott follows with Jen.
[21:28] <@Jennifer> "Sorry... sorry... I'm completely scatterbrained..."
01[21:28] <@Xanatos> <Cole> We've got about 30 incoming. 6He backs up, starting to fire out at them to slow them down.
[21:28] <@DeathStar> <Scott> Perhaps you should find a safe place to wait until we get the crystal.
[21:28] <@Jennifer> "I-I'll refocus.."
06[21:28] * @Jennifer sounds terrified now.
[21:28] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon makes faces each time she steps as they get higher. John begins to move with Cameron
[21:29] <@DeathStar> 6* Scott gives her a look that indicates the tone's annoyed him on some level, then he just walks along, silent
01[21:29] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane glances to Lemon. 1I can carry you if it gets too bad. There's a point when hiding the pain can affect everyone else.
[21:29] <Kit> 6Chii forms seals again. 1"Let's try this again. Katon!" 6She aims lower than them, then swipes her hand, creating a small line of fire-- melting the snow to both create a snowfall and a temporary 'moat' between them and the yeto
[21:29] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> I just need time to deaden some nerves.
[21:30] <@DeathStar> 6* Cole and Chii would feel a slight tug, indciating they need to move up now
06[21:30] * @Jennifer looks forward. "Lemon, lemme heal you up..."
[21:30] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> There is no time, Jennifer. 6* She indicates the fighting with a hand
[21:30] <Kit> 6Chii pauses then turns and scrambles forward. 1"Time to go.."
01[21:30] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole moves quickly to create a large slack so he can start firing again.
[21:31] <@DeathStar> 6* The Yetis, taking time to eye Chii's handiwork, are shot up by Cole. This makes the Detis mad.
[21:31] <Dias`> 6The Deti's leaps over the moat and start to charge now
06[21:31] * @Jennifer nods a bit and looks back. Cameron snaps his fingers and lets out a blast of fire among the Detis as they charge.
[21:32] <@DeathStar> 6* Cameron wouldn't be able to visiblely see the Detis
01[21:32] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole turns back around once he gets enough slack and opens fires on the detis.
[21:32] <@Jennifer> * He's playing it by ear.
[21:32] <@DeathStar> 6* Cameron takes out Detis, and blasts Cole backwrads
[21:32] <Dias`> 6The Deti's fall out but split apart now to make it harder for their prey
01[21:33] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole umphs and falls to his knee, taking damage.
[21:34] <Dias`> 6Two Deti's leap in at Cole now while one goes for Chii
01[21:34] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole pulls hims up now and pulls ups his green arm to fire a laser for one of the leaping Deti's, activating his katar to slash out at the other as it closes in.
[21:35] <@DeathStar> 6* The others reach the top, but can't go further, until Cole and Chii move up the platforms
[21:35] <Dias`> 6The one is shot and hits against the cliff while the other is stlashed as it swipes back at him, sending blood at him
01[21:35] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole gets struck and is knocked back, her turns and jerks to pull Chii towards him, scrambling to move up the platforms.
[21:36] <Dias`> 6The deti going after Chii hits the cliff and twists, roaring at Cole and swiping at Chii again
02[21:36] * Kit (notany@cpe-72-177-72-110.austin.res.rr.com) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
01[21:37] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole emits and electric shield once Chii is safely in his arms, then turns to start dashing away as fast as he can.
[21:37] <@DeathStar> 6* The top of the cliff is even worse, the snow smashing against them as it tries to knock them off. Lemon tracks their crystal movements, then calls out to John which platforms to break apart. John begins to do so so the Yetis can't follow
[21:37] <@DeathStar> 6* Up ahead seems to be another cave, though, if they can reach it
[21:37] <Dias`> 6The Deti leaps forward but misses since the platform is gone and falls to the bottom
[21:38] <@DeathStar> 6* A strong gust of wind blows and Lemon begins to stumble, and falls over the side with a surprise squeak
01[21:38] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane yerks in an effrot to catch her and keep himself up at that.
06[21:38] * @Jennifer grabs onto the rope and cries out, she tries to help Kane and Lemon as she's tugged.
[21:39] <@DeathStar> 6* The wind begins to blow all of them over, taking Scott and Cameron slowly. Scott tries to anchor in
01[21:39] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole stumbles up and tries to anchor them.
[21:39] <@DeathStar> 6* John forms a rock wall to cut off the wind, blindly making it huge since he can't see - the wind stops and visiblibility improves
[21:39] <@Jennifer> * Cameron hits his hand to the ground and tries to form a handhold to grab onto.
[21:39] <@DeathStar> <John> Out of magic.
01[21:40] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane breathes, pulling himself and Lemon back to safety. 1Better than being back down there, I believe.
[21:40] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon pants, her face red. She seems to be deadening certain nerves with her fingers
01[21:40] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole pants, falling down to his knees.
[21:40] <@DeathStar> <John> I think there's a cave up ahead. I suggest shelter.
06[21:40] * @Jennifer helps Kane pull, she looks at Lemon worriedly.
01[21:41] <@Xanatos> <Cole> I'm getting too fat for this.
[21:41] <@Jennifer> * Cameron eyes Cole. "You were offended at the possibility earlier."
[21:41] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon rises up after a moment, then begins to lead them to the cave - once inside, she unties the rope and sits down
[21:42] <@DeathStar> 6* John and Scott stumble in and free themselves. Scott pulls out his ration to eat, while Lemon passes out new ones for everyone else. She seems to be favoring her stomach where the rope was tied as well
06[21:42] * @Jennifer move sover and checks over her wounds, using her holy ring to heal up what she can.
01[21:42] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane sits down and slumps back against the cave wall.
01[21:42] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole avoids taking one this time, he just falls flat on his face.
[21:42] <@DeathStar> <John> I think I hate snow. And Yetis.
[21:42] <@DeathStar> 6* The spider-bot falls off Cole and rolls into a ball sphere, floating
[21:43] <@Jennifer> * Cameron eats quietly, he sets up a fire with alchemy to warm the place up, if there's room and he doesn't have to burn someone.
01[21:43] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and lifts up his head, eyeing the spider-bot. 1What's he doing?
[21:43] <@DeathStar> 6* John shrugs. "Floating."
01[21:43] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane nods his thanks and eats it quickly.
01[21:44] <@Xanatos> <Cole> Ooh I wonder if he can make me float.
06[21:44] * @Jennifer checks her over. "Anything I couldn't get with the magic Lemon...?"
03[21:44] * Kit (notany@cpe-72-177-72-110.austin.res.rr.com) has joined #taw
[21:44] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> I'm fine, thank you. 6* She notes politely, eating her ration
01[21:44] <@Xanatos> <Kane> How close are we?
[21:45] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> If we go through this cave system, I think we'll reach it - it's close, but now I can't detect it as well. 6* There's movement from somewhere in the cave
[21:45] <@Jennifer> "I'm sorry... I wasn't thinking." *she slumps down next to her and eats slowly*
01[21:45] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane shifts to pull his gun, activating a flashlight, aiming it down into the cave.
[21:46] <@Jennifer> * Cameron peers into the cave, pulling out a spoon.
[21:47] <@DeathStar> 6* Standing in the back of the cave is a 5'2 fur monster, it's face hidden in darkness despite the lights; it raises it's furry arms with no see able hands and goes ARROOROOOOO
[21:47] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon stares at the creature, probably not having heard Jennifer at all.
[21:47] <@DeathStar> 6* John turns to eye it, and Scott gets his gun ready
01[21:47] <@Xanatos> <Cole> Jesus Chii can you keep it do-6He peers up and pauses. 1Oh.
06[21:48] * @Jennifer slowly stares at the creature and reaches for her gun. "Oh..."
01[21:48] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane widens his eyes. 1Dear god.
[21:48] <@DeathStar> 6* IT begins to approach, getting louder
[21:48] <@Jennifer> Cameron> "Are yu going to shoot it or just stare at it?"
01[21:49] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane frowns and takes a step back. 1Damnit. I'm sick of killing these creatures.
[21:49] <@DeathStar> <John> Seems kinda short for a yeti
[21:49] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon squeals suddenly. "It's kawaii."
06[21:49] * @Jennifer blinks, then giggles. "...It is kinda..."
01[21:49] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole pushes himself up to a knee, aiming with his minigun. 1....kawasa?
[21:49] <@DeathStar> 6* The creature focuses on Kane, since he's backing up, going ARROROROROROO
01[21:50] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane shifts to aim his gun forward. 1Stop and we won't hurt you. 6he calls out.
[21:50] <@DeathStar> 6* Scott just fires a shot into the air near the creature to see what it does. It stops
[21:50] <@Jennifer> "...Could it be intelligent?"
[21:51] <@DeathStar> 6* It peers at Scott's weapon, then Kane's, then turns to flee
[21:51] <@Jennifer> "Yep, intelligent."
01[21:51] <@Xanatos> <Kane> Hmm. Interesting. 6He slowly lowers his pistol, watching it flee.
[21:51] <@DeathStar> 6* It trips and falls after 10 feet and goes "Ow"
01[21:51] <@Xanatos> <Cole> Did it just say ow!?!
06[21:51] * @Jennifer blinks a bit, tilting her head. She gets up slowly and moves around Lemon, closer to it. "I think it did..."
01[21:52] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane holsters his weapon and moves forward, kneeling by it. 1Are you alright?
[21:52] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks like she wants to creep forward, but watches it with shiny eyes. Scott puts his weapon up, while John gapes as the creature pulls the fur from it's head and reveals a 21 year old girl with blue hair, who eyes them
[21:52] <@DeathStar> <Woman> My cave.
[21:52] <@DeathStar> <John> On second thought, I like snow.
01[21:53] <@Xanatos> <Kane> Share?
[21:53] <@Jennifer> "We're... just visiting. We're not taking it from you."
[21:53] <@DeathStar> 6* She eyes Kane. "Why share? What offer?"
01[21:54] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane hmms and pulls out the hilt of one of the energy blades. 1Weapon for defense.
[21:54] <@DeathStar> 6* The girl takes it, studying it blankly, as if trying to figure out how to use it
02[21:54] * Kit (notany@cpe-72-177-72-110.austin.res.rr.com) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
01[21:54] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane carefully reaches out and activates it safely.
[21:54] <@DeathStar> <John> Maybe we should have her guide us to the crystal. 6* He notes, his eyes locked onto her body, as if trying to see thorugh the fur
06[21:54] * @Jennifer unconciously shifts a little in front of Lemon as the girl gets a weapon.
[21:55] <@DeathStar> 6* The girl gasps, then stares at it in awe. She waves it about. Lemon peers at Jennifer, frowning. <Lemon> Jennifer. 6* She states in Cheryl's flat tone, indicating disapproval.
01[21:55] <@Xanatos> <Cole> I think we all just cuddle around her, she's something to look at it.
01[21:55] <@Xanatos> 6Kane takes a piece of the rope and shows her how it cuts.
[21:55] <@DeathStar> 6* The girl looks delighted. She begins to try it on the cave wall
06[21:56] * @Jennifer blinks and looks back at her, moving to the side a little, looking a bit timid. "I--"
01[21:56] <@Xanatos> <Kane> Help us?
[21:56] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> I do not need you to protect me, Jennifer. I'm the leader. You should focus on healing and aiding from behind me.
[21:56] <@DeathStar> 6* The girl peers at Kane, suspicious. "Help how?"
06[21:57] * @Jennifer blushes and nods, moving behind her. "Sorry... I just... sorry."
01[21:57] <@Xanatos> <Kane> We have to got through the cave. Show us the way?
[21:57] <@DeathStar> 6* Scott studies Jennifer and Lemon, frowning - as if wondering what kind of relationship they have, probably considering she looks like Cheryl
[21:58] <@DeathStar> <Girl> Other side exit? 6* She asks slowly, clearly trying to direct them through the cave, and not to something in it
[21:58] <@DeathStar> 6* John whispers to Cole. "I bet she has wild, animal like sex."
01[21:58] <@Xanatos> <Kane> Any shiny rock along the way?
[21:58] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon offers Jennifer a smile, then peers at the girl

[21:58] <@DeathStar> 6* The girl frowns now, peering down, as if Kane hit something on the head. "My shiny rock."
01[21:58] <@Xanatos> <Kane> Trade?
06[21:59] * @Jennifer smiles back and looks over at the girl.
01[21:59] <@Xanatos> <Cole> You think? 6He looks interested, as he looks towards her. 1Hmmm.
[21:59] <@DeathStar> <Girl> Trade...? 6* She eyes the knife, then Kane, then the knife. Probably thinking if a knife is worth it
[21:59] <@DeathStar> <John> Oh definitely.
01[21:59] <@Xanatos> <Kane> 2 weapons? 6He pulls out another.
01[22:00] <@Xanatos> <Cole> I feel like she would break me for some reason.
[22:00] <@DeathStar> <John> If you could find a girl that could ride you that hard, my friend, you must try it out
01[22:00] <@Xanatos> <Cole> I bet it would hurt something good.
[22:00] <@DeathStar> 6* The girl peers at it, then reaches for it slowly to see if Kane is tricking her
[22:00] <@DeathStar> <John> Something good being the key words.
01[22:00] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane lets her take it.
[22:01] <@DeathStar> 6* She peers down at hte weapons, then rises, nodding. "Follow." 6* She begins to move into the darkness of the cave
01[22:01] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane nods to the others and moves after her.
[22:02] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon rises and despite an odd walk to her movement, made better from the holy ring, she doesn't seem to react, as if she really did deaden nerves. Scott gets to his feet, peering at Jennifer, clearly wanting to ask something, but holding off. John goes to follow the girl and try to catch up
[22:02] <@Jennifer> * Cameron muses as he watches Kane. He gets up and dists off his coat, moving to follow the others, Jennifer gets up, sticking with Lemon.
[22:03] <@DeathStar> 6* The cave tunnels are long and winding, with multiple branching points - making it clear if Kane hadn't befriended the girl, this would have been a 5 hour episode. Lemon looks confused as they go on, unable to detect where the legendary is
[22:04] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> It feels as if the cave itself is almost the crystla
[22:04] <@Jennifer> "Wouldn't be surprising, remember, Cole's entire reality was a crystal."
01[22:04] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole walks around glancing around. 1Because it was awesome.
[22:05] <@DeathStar> 6* John checks on Chii now again, carrying her for Cole once and while - though for his own perverted reasons
[22:05] <@DeathStar> 6* The girl stops at a crystal wall, then taps on it a few times, putting an ear to the wall, then taps at various places
01[22:05] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane tilts his head to peer the girl over. 1Locked?
02[22:06] * Kit (notany@cpe-72-177-72-110.austin.res.rr.com) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[22:06] <@DeathStar> 6* The girl peers at Kane suspiciously, taps a few more times, then the wall opens up, to reveal a huge chamber of crystal. In the middle is a large reality cystal on a pedistal made of crystal
01[22:07] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane arches a brow. 1Amazing. He notes.
[22:07] <@DeathStar> 6* The girl peers at the pretty crystal, looking sad, but steps aside for them, peering down at her new weapons
[22:07] <@Jennifer> "Jeez... this is cool..." *she looks about, though she sticks behind Lemon as though following an order to the letter*
01[22:08] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane nods to Lemon, motioning her forward.
[22:08] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon seems to be thinking, and studying the crystal, not advancing.
06[22:09] * @Jennifer peers up at her curiously, Cameron inspects the material himself. "Very interesting indeed... I wonder what could have formed this."
[22:09] <@DeathStar> <Scott> So this crystal is stronger than a normal one?
03[22:09] * Kit (notany@cpe-72-177-72-110.austin.res.rr.com) has joined #taw
[22:09] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon blinks, as if detecting something
01[22:09] <@Xanatos> <Cole> Yeah. It sure is pretty. 6He notes. 1But not as pretty as her, can we take her with us?
[22:09] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> I've detected several crystals entering the sky.
[22:10] <@DeathStar> 6* John grimaces. "They're following us, then."
01[22:10] <@Xanatos> <Kane> They've come. We should take it and leave.
[22:10] <Kit> <Chii> My theory was right, huh?
[22:10] <@Jennifer> "It's said if we gather all of these ones, we can summon a god who will fight the corruption. Huh...? Crap..."
[22:10] <@DeathStar> 6* John holds Chii, his hand on her ass, having her over his shoulder
[22:10] <Kit> <Chii> I think I'm gonna have to amputate.
[22:10] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> I know, but --- this entire cave area feels like part of the crystal. .... 6* She shakes her head and moves to take it
[22:11] <@DeathStar> <John> Hm? OH, sorry, your tail kept hitting me in the face, so I found this was the best way to keep it steady
[22:11] <@DeathStar> 6* John sets her down
06[22:11] * @Jennifer watches Lemon, looking about still.
[22:11] <Kit> <Chii> Uh-huh.
[22:12] <@Jennifer> * Cameron frowns, "Try absorbing it from the outside then?"
[22:12] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon takes the crystal, when the entire cave begins to shake; the crystal walls begin to crack. The howls of Yetis pick up, as if they're invading the place.
01[22:12] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers around frowning. 1Damnit. What happened?
[22:12] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks about, confused. The girl looks terrorfied. "They're entering my home."
[22:12] <@DeathStar> <John> I don't know. Maybe the legendary cystal was supporting this place like Cole's did his reality
[22:12] <Kit> <Chii> What about the girl?
01[22:12] <@Xanatos> <Cole> I think maybe we should've thought about that.
[22:12] <@Jennifer> "The crystal... might have been some kind of barrier? We should go... take her with us?"
[22:13] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> I knew something was wrong...this is my fault...
[22:13] <Kit> <Chii> Knock it off, Lem
01[22:13] <@Xanatos> <Kane> She helped us, we can't leave her.
[22:13] <@DeathStar> <John> I don't know . We could try placing a normal crystal there, see if that fixes it.
[22:13] <@Jennifer> "If we don't take it, they will Lemon."
01[22:13] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane moves forward quickly and reaches out to place a normal crystal on it
[22:13] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> I'm aware. I am saying I should have thought it out more before taking it. Rushing made this mistake
[22:14] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon eyes the two like Cheryl would
06[22:14] * @Jennifer frowns, but nods a little. "We'll be more careful about that in the future then?"
[22:14] <@DeathStar> 6* The shaking slows somewhat. It doesn't seem to be enough
01[22:14] <@Xanatos> <Kane> I think it had to do with weight. 6He tries to press down on the crystal to test that theory, but not hard neough to break it or something.
[22:15] <@DeathStar> 6* A blast from above hits the ice cave - clearly they're trying to blast their way in. The crystals don't seem strong enough to take many more hits
[22:15] <@DeathStar> 6* Nothing happens as Kane pushes it down.
[22:15] <@DeathStar> <John> I wonder if a philosopher stone could do it
[22:15] <Kit> <Chii> Either way we need to get lost. What about the girl, I said?
01[22:15] <@Xanatos> <Kane> ... 6* Kane tries to place the stone on there to see what happens.
01[22:15] <@Xanatos> <Cole> Take her with us maybe?
[22:15] <@DeathStar> 6* The shaking stops
06[22:15] * @Jennifer blinks a bit. "So... we... leave the stone...?"
01[22:16] <@Xanatos> <Kane> Damnit. We only have one.
[22:16] <@DeathStar> <John> That, or leave enough crystals....
[22:16] <@Jennifer> "...I could use the stone now, leave my crystals."
[22:16] <@DeathStar> 6* The girl is cowering i nthe corner. Lemon seems to be thinking. <Lemon> This entire reality might be need this room to survive. I have heard the other Kane mention anamolies.
[22:16] <@DeathStar> <John> Pretty big leap into tying your life to the stone, Jen.
[22:16] <@DeathStar> <John> I thought you needed time for that exact reason
06[22:17] * @Jennifer frowns. "I do... but do we have time?"
01[22:17] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane shakes his head once. 1I agree with John. I think leaving behind anything will only ensure giving it to the enemy.
[22:17] <@DeathStar> <John> Stone or crystals. It's really you and Binary's call.
[22:17] <@Jennifer> "...Okay, so we take everything and the girl."
[22:17] <@DeathStar> <John> Not the morally righteous path, but the safest.
01[22:17] <@Xanatos> <Cole> But if there's more people we're killing them all.
[22:18] <@DeathStar> <John> Hence why it's not the morally righteous path
01[22:18] <@Xanatos> <Kane> Lemon. Make the call and I'll follow.
06[22:18] * @Jennifer rubs her head. "And if we leave, our enemy will kill them all after we go."
[22:18] <@DeathStar> <Girl> Room can be hidden. Never find.
[22:18] <@DeathStar> 6* She whimpers this. Apparantly believing no one could find this room
[22:19] <@Jennifer> "You found it."
01[22:19] <@Xanatos> <Kane> They can sense the shiny rocks.
[22:19] <@DeathStar> <Girl> It wanted me to find it.
[22:19] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> It's possible they will be as lost as I am and wander these caves for a long time. Plus if we leave with the legendary, they might not find it worth while for normal crystals, or a stone
01[22:19] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole fidget, glancing out of the room to take up watch for Yeti's.
[22:19] <@DeathStar> 6* The Yetis don't see mto be advancing since the stone was placed in - whatever power back in play
[22:20] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> Jennifer. We must either leave enough regular crystals, or the stone.
[22:20] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> I do not want people to die on our account. We are suppose to protect everyone.
06[22:20] * @Jennifer looks at John. "What're the chances of me ever getting another stone?"
01[22:20] <@Xanatos> <Kane> It's too soon for her to use the stone. I'll use my crystals.
[22:20] <@DeathStar> <John> Chances are you'd have to beat another Dias-entry fighter.
[22:20] <@Jennifer> "But..."
[22:20] <@DeathStar> <John> That Phaeton guy or Warren might have one, for example.
[22:21] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon nods to Kane. "I trust your judgement on the matter."
01[22:21] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane begins to take crystals out, placing 2 on before slowly taking the stone back.
[22:21] <@DeathStar> 6* There's slight vibrations still. It seems it'll take 3.
01[22:21] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane adds a third one and then steps back.
[22:21] <@DeathStar> 6 *It stops.
06[22:21] * @Jennifer rubs her head again, looking down, ashamed.
01[22:22] <@Xanatos> <Kane> Now. Ready to go whenever you are, Lemon. Young miss, I hope you protect these crystals well.
01[22:22] <@Xanatos> 6Kane tells the girl.
[22:22] <@Jennifer> * Cameron eyes her with that strange look again, he looks about the room.
[22:22] <@DeathStar> 6* Outside, the bombing no longer shakes the area.
[22:22] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> We might should leave the cave so the ycan detect we have the legendary for sure, to protect this place.
[22:23] <Kit> <Chii> That's a good idea..
[22:23] <@DeathStar> 6* The girl nods, bowing to them.
01[22:23] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane places the stone inside his coat and moves for the exit.
01[22:23] <@Xanatos> NRP: of the room.
[22:23] <@DeathStar> 6* Once everyone is out of the room, the wall regrows back to hide the place. The girl motions for htem to follow her, then runs
01[22:24] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane moves after her quickly.
01[22:24] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole jogs along.
[22:24] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon limps along - Scott walks afterwards, intrigue on his face from teh entire debate that took place.
06[22:24] * @Jennifer sticks with Lemon, looking down as she moves along at Lemon's pace. Cameron jogs along swiftly.
[22:24] <@DeathStar> 6* John offers Chii a hand, a grin
[22:25] <@DeathStar> 6* As they move, walls shift and change patterns - probably to make it impossible for anyone to find their way back - a literal defense system
[22:25] <Kit> 6Chii eyes him, but takes it.
01[22:25] <@Xanatos> <Kane> This cave is amazing. 6He notes, peering over his shoulder.
[22:25] <@DeathStar> 6* John moves along swiftly with Chii, letting her conserve energy
[22:25] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> I do not think we would have found the crystal if you did not befriend her
06[22:26] * @Jennifer looks up and nods. "It was a good call."
01[22:26] <@Xanatos> <Kane> It wasn't anything. 6He notes modestly.
[22:26] <@DeathStar> 6* As they move along through the tunnels, they can see up ahead some of Warren's soldiers, at the exit. They point. "They have the legendary crystal. Also, the fox girl we were told to get is here."
[22:27] <@Jennifer> Cameron> "I suppose annoting your title to Kane, Tamer of Cavegirls is a little much?"
01[22:27] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane narrows his eyes, aiming his rifle. 1They're after her.
06[22:27] * @Jennifer stares at the men, she pulls out her gun. "What the hell, is this a scavenger hunt?"
[22:27] <@DeathStar> 6* They aim at Chii, firing at her. John shifts to shield Chi with his body.
[22:27] <@DeathStar> 6* One stray shot flies in at their guide, who seems unaware she should move, or even can.
[22:28] <Kit> <Chii> ...Geh! My theory's are proving to be too accurate.. John..!? God damn it, not again." 6She leans around, firing both guns on burst fire.
01[22:28] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole jerks forward with the help of his crystal to take the shot.
01[22:28] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane fires for one.
[22:28] <@DeathStar> 6* The girl peers at Cole in awe. Cipher forms into a gun for Cole
[22:28] <@DeathStar> 6* Kane and Chii take one down. John winces, unleashing flames at another
01[22:29] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole aims and starts for the men.
06[22:29] * @Jennifer frowns and sends a blast of water at another soldier, not John's.
[22:29] <@DeathStar> 6* The soldier screams in agony as the water freezes around him
[22:29] <@DeathStar> 6* The remaining three men begin to back away. "Tell the Captain they have the legendary - and get reinforcements, now." 6* One teleports
06[22:30] * @Jennifer winces a little, apparently not happy with hurting him like that. "Lemon, can you sync?"
01[22:30] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane glances to Lemon. 1How much longer till we're synced?
[22:30] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks at them. "We are synched now. I just wanted them to see us. But will the girl be safe without us?"
[22:30] <Kit> <Chii> I want to know that reason now, John.
[22:30] <@DeathStar> 6* The other two move outside of the cave to take up positions
[22:30] <@Jennifer> "Somehow I doubt that. We should take her with us."
01[22:30] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane shakes his head. 1I'm not certain.
01[22:31] <@Xanatos> <Cole> What do you want to do, girlie? 6He glances over his shoulder at her. 1Stay and fight them, or go with us?
[22:31] <@DeathStar> 6* John holds his chest. "It could be...if things are similiar... he might want Cheryl because his Cheryl died. And you being her bond partner...
[22:31] <@Jennifer> * Cameron begins to write on the wall.
[22:31] <@DeathStar> <John> Or, maybe he just really hates her, because she killed someone he loved, like with what happened to Jen
[22:31] <@DeathStar> <Girl> This home.
01[22:32] <@Xanatos> <Cole> You go back inside and get lost in the caves, then. Don't try to fight them, they'll only hurt you.
06[22:32] * @Jennifer frowns. "Th-That was the key difference in our reality."
[22:32] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon takes Kane's hand since his device still needs working on. John keeps touching Chii for the same reason
[22:32] <@DeathStar> 6* The girl nods, then moves back into the caves quickly. One soldier fires at Chii's head again, and John uses his gauntlet to block
01[22:32] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane glances down to his hand, peering towards Lemon with a frown, he doesn't seem to like the idea of leaving the girl, but nods to Lemon that he's ready to go.
[22:32] <@DeathStar> <John> If it's the former, removing your bond link would help them with Cheryl
[22:32] <Kit> 6Chii jerks, then ducks and fires on the new one
01[22:32] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole grabs Scott just in case.
[22:33] <@Jennifer> * Cameron sends stone fists out at the soldiers.
[22:33] <@DeathStar> 6* Scott nods to Cole, having been off to the side, listening
[22:33] <@DeathStar> 6* The soldiers get stoned
[22:33] <Kit> <Chii> Come again?
[22:33] <Kit> <Chii> Help them do what with Cherry?
[22:33] <@DeathStar> <John> In a moment, when we're safe.
01[22:33] <@Xanatos> <Kane> Whatever it is they need. Having you linked to her keeps her grounded. 6He notes.
[22:33] <@DeathStar> 6* John nods to Kane. Lemon taps her device. A beeping begins
[22:33] <Kit> <Chii> Nice explaining nothing.
[22:33] <@Jennifer> Cameron> "Have a little parting favor from the Earth Alchemist."
01[22:34] <@Xanatos> <Kane> Of course. Nothing. 6He notes with a hint of annoyance.
06[22:34] * @Jennifer keeps frowning. "I can try explaining later Chii..."
[22:34] <@DeathStar> 6* They all jump. And fall into a royal bed in the Fallen reality
01[22:34] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane tilts his head, peering around.
[22:35] <@Jennifer> Cameron> "Bloody best fall to date."
[22:35] <Kit> 6Reis stares at them all. 1"...Guards."
06[22:35] * @Jennifer looks about, rubbing her head a bit. "Oh, it's Reis! Hey!"
[22:35] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon sits up, apologetic to Reis. "I'm sorry. I flagged your world as a safe one."
01[22:35] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane sits up to eye Reis.
[22:35] <Kit> 6Reis twitches somewhat, calling in at least a dozen armored soldiers wielding ranseurs and falchions.
[22:36] <Kit> <Reis> Ah, the troublemakers.
[22:36] <@Jennifer> "Uhhh... did you miss us too?"
[22:36] <Kit> 6Reis brushes her hair back, still clutching her tome. 1"I'd almost forgotten."
[22:36] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon peers at Reis, then bows her head. "I ask we stay the night, please...we need resupplies...Cheryl is missing...."
01[22:36] <@Xanatos> <Kane> Troublemakers. Hmph. 6He looks offended and pushes himself to his feet, changing his winter garb back to normal suit
[22:37] <@DeathStar> 6* John shifts to tactical suit. Holding his bruised chest
[22:37] <Kit> <Chii> Huh. This place hasn't changed much, considering..
06[22:37] * @Jennifer changes her garb to something appropriate for the world, remembering the styles, mostly. Cameron just fixes his coat. "So where are we?"
01[22:37] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole glances around. 1Must've been before me. 6He helps Scott to his feet.
[22:37] <@DeathStar> 6* Scott nods to Cole, eyeing the new place.
[22:38] <Kit> <Reis> The Xycanthein and the Sol have allied given that we have another problem that has arisen. Two-thirds of the continent is razed in flames, with the endless forest and the village of yggdrassil already erased.
[22:38] <Kit> <Reis> It's changed quite a bit, despite what you say.
[22:38] <@Jennifer> "Wh-What the heck happened?"
[22:38] <@DeathStar> <John> Sounds like we should take this place off the safety list
01[22:39] <@Xanatos> <Kane> Indeed. What has caused such a catastrophy?
02[22:39] * X1 (scoutx1@66-227-210-222.dhcp.trcy.mi.charter.com) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[22:39] <Kit> <Reis> From what I understand, the girl you people found was one of the original 'protocols' designed to safeguard us from the Fallen. I'm still researching the topic, but there were a couple before her, one being Zynienth, whom I had known about, and the other being Eikoudan-- a dragon incarnate from their desire to outrightly destroy Fallen. Unfortunately it was never tethered like the girl.
[22:40] <Kit> <Reis> Eikoudan showed up.
[22:40] <@DeathStar> <John> And of course, she's with Raquel and X.
[22:40] <@DeathStar> 6* John murmurs
[22:40] <@DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
[22:40] <@DeathStar> Location: The Town Place
[22:40] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon goes over a list of supplies they'll need food wise, since they don't have the technology necessary here for Kane
[22:41] <@DeathStar> 6* John leans against a wall, talking to Chii now. "Alright, you want to know what I think."
[22:41] <@Jennifer> "I think we could do with some linens and other things I can convert into medical supplies... is that okay Lemon?"
[22:41] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> Yes. I can store much
[22:41] <Kit> <Reis> It will be done. Please, make yourselves at home-- It is not as unsafe as you might have assumed. After Eikoudan finished razing Yggdrassil and numerous parts of the Endless Forest, I realized they were specific ones-- ones with ties to the past. He has not attacked since.
[22:42] <Kit> <Chii> Duh. I was blindly theorizing, but I don't know what I'm guessing about.
01[22:42] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane seems be thinking. 1I retrieved some crude supplies from here last time. But they won't do much anymore.
[22:42] <@DeathStar> 6* Scott eyes Reis following them and still mentioning the topic from earlier
[22:42] <@Jennifer> * Cameron holds up his notebook, writing in a strange tounge, not his usual circles.
01[22:43] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole peers around. 1Hey Psst. Is there any pretty girls I can go talk too?
[22:43] <Kit> 6A red-haired elf leans into Scott's vision, obstructing it with narrowed irises.
[22:43] <@DeathStar> <John> Not all realities are similiar, but some are . We've run into other Cheryls before, but I've never seen such a full blown search for one. So this leads me to one of two theories. There's something about the Ben/Cheryl combo that got to Warren - maybe he wants them to replace what he lost. In which case, that's why he didn't want Lemon - but if you're bonded to Cheryl, it could mean trouble if he wants to make her more like his
[22:44] <@DeathStar> <John> Or it falls more into the line of this Cheryl reminds him of a similiar reality where she killed someone he loved, like with Jen, and he wants to take and hurt everything near her.
[22:44] <@DeathStar> 6* Scott peers at the elf girl. "Yes?"
03[22:44] * X1 (scoutx1@66-227-210-222.dhcp.trcy.mi.charter.com) has joined #taw
[22:44] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> I'm sorry I didn't flag any realities with more technology.
06[22:44] * @Jennifer frowns a bit. "Either one sounds pretty... bad."
[22:44] <Kit> <Ayame> If you keep eyeing the Regentess, I'll be forced to reverse your innards to be your outards.
[22:44] <@DeathStar> <Scott> I see.
[22:45] <@DeathStar> 6* Scott doesn't look phased, peering over at Jen and Chii
01[22:45] <@Xanatos> <Kane> It's fine. The japanese reality was adaquete enough, but we don't have the time to stop there too. I'll just need to be cautious.
[22:45] <Kit> 6Ayame makes a face at the lack of a reaction, cracking her knuckles in annoyance.
[22:45] <@Jennifer> * Cameron grins a bit. "I like this fiery one."
[22:45] <Kit> <Reis> If it's technology you're wanting... there is one that Eikoudan hasn't razed. Perhaps he didn't know of it.
[22:45] <Kit> <Chii> Either way I'm going to fuck him up.
[22:45] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon peers at Reis. "You have technology you'd share?"
[22:45] <@Jennifer> "You mean a place like we found Tsuki in...?"
[22:46] <@DeathStar> <John> It matters that no matter what, you can't let yourself be caught, either. Since if you die, Cheryl's bond will break and who knows what they'll bond her to, right?
[22:46] <Kit> <Reis> Have you forgotten..? It's below the palace. It seems like it's a sister origin to the Yggdrassil sites."
[22:46] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks at Kane ,then gets an idea
[22:46] <@Jennifer> "Oh.... we've been kinda busy, apologies."
01[22:47] <@Xanatos> <Kane> Ah of course. 6He nods his head once, then glances towards Lemon.
[22:47] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> Kane, if we could somehow find a way to find Tsuikyomi, we could find the supplies that Raquel took.
[22:47] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> Do you think this reality might have such a means to locate her?
01[22:47] <@Xanatos> <Kane> Find her? Hmm. I'm not sure, but it's worth looking into.
[22:47] <Kit> <Reis> We don't really understand much of it, so it's no loss if I let you guys mess with it. No one besides me, Ayame and a select few even know of its existence.
[22:48] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> At this point, if we entered a reality, we won't know they're there - I would just detect crystals and might assume it's the enemy.
01[22:48] <@Xanatos> Yes that's true. If we could find someone to pick up on her, it would save alot of trouble, yes.
[22:48] <@Jennifer> "Can we... track certain reality signatures?"
[22:49] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> At close range I can.
[22:49] <@DeathStar> 6* John ruffles Chii's hair, probably to try to lighten things up
[22:49] <@Jennifer> "Hmm... cuz they're all from the 'Prime' reality... is that a good name for it?"
01[22:49] <@Xanatos> NRP: Oh that was Kane.
[22:49] <@Jennifer> "Well, cept Tsuki.."
[22:50] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> If they across the city, or even planet, I might not detect them. It's already bad odds to be in the same reality at the same time, but if this reality had a way of finding her, it would make it lose a few 0s.
01[22:50] <@Xanatos> <Kane> Thank you for the assistance, we'll be sure to send Tsuki back once we find them, to save your reality. 6He bows to Reis.
[22:50] <Kit> <Reis> Considering that girl is a product of its research, I'm sure the Asgard will be of use to you... people." 6She says this strangely, eyeing Lemon and Kane specifically.
[22:50] <Kit> <Reis> Save us from what?
01[22:50] <@Xanatos> <Kane> Your dragon entity.
[22:51] <Kit> <Reis> I said he stopped attacking." 6She makes a face at Kane. 1"Tsukiyomi, you say, she's from the past. If you brought her back he'd probably start attacking to get at her. Dumbass.
01[22:51] <@Xanatos> <Kane> Ah. I guess I should've stopped ignoring you at a certain point. My apologies.
[22:52] <@Jennifer> "So it's better we keep her from coming back. Okay."
03[22:52] * Jackieness (Psy@h210.31.40.69.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) has left #taw
[22:52] <Kit> <Reis> You're as crude as that thing is." 6She sighs.
01[22:52] <@Xanatos> <Kane> I have much on my mind.
[22:52] <Kit> 6Reis peers toward Lemon. 1"It's a wonder she likes you."
01[22:53] <@Xanatos> <Kane> It's because I am handsome.
[22:53] <Kit> <Reis> I have Ayame and Reia. I don't need some false goddess to help me.
06[22:53] * @Jennifer grins a bit.
[22:53] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon just looks confused. "I like everyone, though I admit I don't like you calling my people dumbasses."
[22:53] <Kit> <Reis> He is what he is. He's brilliant, but rather dense and moronic.
01[22:53] <@Xanatos> <Kane> It's fine. We should get started, we have little time.
[22:54] <@Jennifer> "Reis is the kind of person who's outright with how she feels."
[22:54] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon nods. "Let us get supplies and what sleep we can, then, and we'll continue our journey. Maybe we'll be lucky and enter the same reality as the others."
[22:54] <Kit> 6Reis holds her book behind her. 1"People like him and myself, we're better with our records and information than we are people-- yet we still have our people to love and be loved."
01[22:54] <@Xanatos> <Cole> Great. I'm going to go find a girlfriend. 6He waves and turns to move off.
[22:54] <@DeathStar> 6* John nods at Ayame, then at Cole
[22:55] <Kit> 6Cole bumps into a pair of twins as she tries to leave.
[22:55] <@DeathStar> <John> I bet she'd be ride.
01[22:55] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and eyes the twins.
[22:55] <@Jennifer> Cameron> *looks to Reis* "You haven't had any other visitors from other worlds, have you?"
[22:55] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks at Kane. "Do you wnat the legendary to study, or should I keep it?"
[22:55] <Kit> <Reis> Besides you? Not that I'm aware of.
01[22:55] <@Xanatos> <Kane> You should keep it. It will increase your abilities greatly.
[22:56] <@Jennifer> Cameron> "Very well... if you hear anything about a girl with strange magic involving life... let me know."
[22:56] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon blinks at that, peering at herself.
[22:56] <@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[22:56] <@DeathStar> Time Chart: 6 weeks after being with the team
[22:56] <@DeathStar> Location: Another Reality
[22:56] <@DeathStar> 6* X sits on the edge of a bridge with radioactive water below in a river - her hair has grown out somewhat. She eats some of the supplies Raquel accidently kept with her, strumming Jennifer's guitar
[22:57] <@DeathStar> <X> Another reality with no II.
[22:57] <Kit> 6Key drums on some of the bridge's metal struts in the background with bones from. Something.
[22:57] <Kit> <Lilith> There are many.
[22:57] <Ariel> Raquel> "...remind me to never play hide and seek with him."
[22:58] <@DeathStar> 6* X dangles the guitar over the bridge ,as if she might drop it
[22:58] <Kit> <Lilith> Mistress.
[22:58] <@DeathStar> 6* X sighs, then hands it over to Raquel to put up
[22:58] <@DeathStar> <X> Do you think we should look for the others to see if they found him? Maybe Tsuki could save point locate them
[22:58] <@DeathStar> 6* X sounds glum, becoming more glum with each reality producing no Diases
[22:59] <Ariel> 6* Raquel takes the instrument, "... you never know with that girl."
[22:59] <Kit> <Lilith> I-- ...how would we even ask her?
[22:59] <Kit> 6Key peers over at the three, grinning like she usually does without any sort of comprehension.
[22:59] <@DeathStar> 6* X looks at Tsuki. "Others. Save point. Find?"
[23:00] <@DeathStar> 6* A giant fish leaps out fo the water, trying to eat them - but not coming close to them. It has three eyes
[23:00] <Kit> <Key> Find..?" 6She tilts her head, then shrugs. 1"Save point1" 6She disappears, landing on X from above.
[23:00] <@DeathStar> 6* X stumbles and slips off the railing of the bridge and begins to fall toward the water
[23:00] <Kit> 6Lilith sighs, reaching out to grab one of them in either hand
[23:00] <Ariel> Raquel> *ripples X back onto the bridge carefully* "...can key bring Dias to save point?"
[23:00] <Ariel> Raquel> *corrects herself* "Crabman."
[23:00] <@DeathStar> <X> I tried that. She couldn't find him.
[23:00] <@DeathStar> 6* X sulks.
[23:01] <Kit> <Key> Crab." 6She pauses. 1"Want crab."
[23:01] <@DeathStar> 6* X looks at Key, trying to think of someone else knows. "Save point General? Lemon? Kane? Stupid girl?"
[23:01] <@DeathStar> *else she
[23:02] <Kit> 6Key tilts her head the other way, then eyes the guitar. 1"Ah!"
[23:02] <Kit> 6Key nods, then disappears again.
[23:02] <@DeathStar> <X> Yes. Stupid girl likes that
[23:03] <@DeathStar> 6* X blinks
[23:03] <Ariel> Raquel> "...I hope she knows what she's doing."
[23:03] <Ariel> Raquel> "We need to find some sort of... um... dimensional bloodhound."
[23:03] <@DeathStar> 6* Key returns with ... Jen. Apparantly since they were in her home realit,y it worked.
[23:03] <Kit> <Key> Stupid girl. Get.
[23:04] <@Jennifer> "H-Hey what!?"
[23:04] <@DeathStar> 6* X stares, dumbfounded.
[23:04] <Kit> <Lilith> ...
[23:04] <Ariel> Raquel> *stares in disbelief*
06[23:04] * @Jennifer blinks looking around. "How... wha..."
[23:04] <@DeathStar> <X> You found her. Amazing.
[23:04] <Ariel> Raquel> "And... you can't... do that with crabman?"
[23:04] <Kit> 6Key grabs Jennifer and disappears-- then reappears alone.
[23:04] <Kit> <Key> Happy?
[23:05] <@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
[23:05] <@DeathStar> Location: Key's Reality
[23:05] <@DeathStar> 6* Jen returns and is dropped off - strangely ,the team is gone now. Apparantly a lot of time passed.
[23:05] <@Jennifer> "...Oh shit..."
06[23:05] * @Jennifer looks around, panicking a little.
03[23:05] * Retrieving #taw modes...
[23:05] <@DeathStar> 6* Judging by the star placements in the night sky, a few months
06[23:06] * @Jennifer gets up and heads to look for Reis.
[23:06] <@DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT/TIME BACKWARDS-
[23:06] <@DeathStar> Location: Key's Reality
[23:06] <@DeathStar> 6* Reality Day 40, Morning. Lemon looks about
[23:07] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> I cannot find any sign of Jennifer's device anywhere.
01[23:07] <@Xanatos> 6* Kane arches a brow, glancing up. 1What?!
[23:07] <@DeathStar> 6* John's jaw drops. Even Scott sits up
[23:07] <Kit> <Chii> What!?
[23:07] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> I was asleep. I didn't detect her leave. But now that I'm awake, I'm certain she's not in this reality
[23:07] <Kit> <Chii> How's that even possible..?
01[23:08] <@Xanatos> <Kane> Fuck. 6He hisses, jerking to his feet.
[23:08] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon puts a hand to her face. "I should have let her stay with me last night---she didn't seem to want to be alone. Do yo uthink she left because I made her mad?"
[23:08] <@Jennifer> Cameron> "Not like the girl to go far."
01[23:08] <@Xanatos> <Kane> No. Something happened.
[23:08] <@DeathStar> 6* Scott arches a brow at Jen wanting to stay with Lemon
[23:08] <@DeathStar> <John> ... 6* He looks postively worried . "Do you think she hit the jump button in her sleep?"
[23:08] <@DeathStar> <John> And did a blind jump?
[23:09] <@Jennifer> Cameron> "Is that likely?"
01[23:09] <@Xanatos> <Kane> ....it's possible. But I don't think so. 6he paces, looking annoyed.
[23:09] <@DeathStar> <John> No, but it seems less likely than her running away, or just ... vanishing
[23:09] <@DeathStar> *seems more
[23:09] <Kit> <Chii> Usually between Lem and me, we can detect ...most stuff. I don't get it.
[23:09] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks down, paler than normal. "I should have let her stay with me. I was worried she would become too clingy since she had been acting off since my return."
[23:10] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> And that would lead to her getting hurt
01[23:10] <@Xanatos> <Kane> You didn't do anything wrong Lemon. Something's wrong with this situation, but it's not you.
[23:10] <@Jennifer> Cameron> "So the question is, what do we do?"
[23:10] <@DeathStar> <John> Well, does one of stay here and hope she returns? Do we leave something for her if she returns?
[23:10] <@DeathStar> *of us
[23:11] <@Jennifer> Cameron> "Another meeting place? You mentioned other realities we might visit."
01[23:11] <@Xanatos> <Kane> We could live a list of our projected jumps, and have her hope she can catch up if she returns.
[23:11] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> We randomly jump typically, though, because of the ever changing patterns of realities
[23:12] <@Jennifer> Cameron> "What's the probability of us changing that for a while?"
01[23:12] <@Xanatos> <Kane> I'm saying. We could not randomly jump for a little while, to give her a chance to catch up.
[23:13] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon thinks. "It will be dangerous, but for Jennifer, I believe it is worth it. However, with time differences in realities, she might never catch up."
[23:13] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon's lip quivers
01[23:13] <@Xanatos> <Kane> We must have faith that she will.
[23:13] <@DeathStar> <John> We could go back to an old reality every few.
[23:13] <@DeathStar> <John> And give her a list of those realities
[23:13] <@Jennifer> Cameron> "And she just might, it's all a gamble... she might just choose to wait here as well if we do nothing."
[23:14] <@DeathStar> <Scott> Is this place safe to come back to repeatedly?
[23:14] <@Jennifer> Cameron> "Barring that... other one, Tsuki coming here. We may want to leave her a safer waiting place though."
01[23:14] <@Xanatos> <Kane> The moving island. 6He notes.
[23:15] <@DeathStar> <John> Good idea, the island. It can talk to her . Let her know how long it's been
[23:15] <@Jennifer> Cameron> "Let's leave breadcrumbs for the child to find her way back then."
[23:15] <@DeathStar> <Lemon> I'll give Reis the location of the island reality, then. 6* She hurries out, looking strained like Cheryl does when she makes a mistake in her eyes
01[23:16] <@Xanatos> <Kane> Damnit. 6He breathes, rubbing his face.
01[23:16] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole snorts and leans forward. 1Did I fall asleep again?
[23:16] <@DeathStar> <John> Second day on the job and she's lost someone. That's going to hit hard.
[23:16] <@DeathStar> 6* John crosses his arms, ignoring Cole for once, looking annoyed
[23:16] <@Jennifer> Cameron> "Doesn't help it's someone she has eyes for."
[23:16] <@DeathStar> <Scott> 'Eyes' for?
01[23:16] <@Xanatos> <Kane> It's not her fault. Something is wrong.
[23:17] <@Jennifer> * Cameron eyes Scott slowly.
[23:17] <@DeathStar> 6* Scott is eyes Cameron, clearly trynig to catch up here
[23:17] <@Jennifer> Cameron> "They are... close friends." *his tone indicates he's being polite*
01[23:18] <@Xanatos> <Cole> I thought the little girl liked the Cheryl-Bot and not the other way around?
[23:18] <@DeathStar> <Scott> But she looks like Cheryl, who is the mother of her brother.
[23:18] <@Jennifer> Cameron> "She is an odd girl."
[23:18] <@DeathStar> 6* Scott shakes his head, as if repulsed.
[23:19] <@Jennifer> * Cameron shrugs. "I try not to judge people with different customs then my own."
01[23:19] <@Xanatos> <Kane> Everyone get ready. We'll be leaving when Lemon returns.
[23:19] <@DeathStar> 6* John rubs the back of his head. "I don't think Lemon has eyes for Jen. Not if she's not sharing a bed with her . Poor Jen."
[23:20] <@DeathStar> 6* John lets out a sigh. Clearly wondering what to do now; he eyes Kane.
[23:20] <@Jennifer> Cameron> "I've heard talk that she's often misguided in that department."
[23:20] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon steps back in. "Is everyone...ready??"
[23:21] <@DeathStar> 6* Lemon takes Kane's hand, and John touches Chii's head, and Scott touches Cole's arm
[23:21] <@Jennifer> Cameron> "Ready as I can be."
01[23:21] <@Xanatos> <Kane> She's not. 6He notes once eyeing Cameron, then nods to Lemon.
01[23:21] <@Xanatos> 6* Cole gives Scott a thumbs up.
[23:21] <Kit> 6Chii slowly peers at John, twitching.
[23:21] <@Jennifer> * Cameron looks quizzical.
[23:21] <@DeathStar> <John> My device is broken. Or would you rather I ... don't come?
[23:22] <Kit> 6Chii stomps on his foot, keeping her heel there.
[23:22] <@DeathStar> 6* John smiles in pain, then gropes her roughly as they jump
[23:22] <@DeathStar> -Months Later in Same Reality-
[23:22] <@DeathStar> 6* Jennifer would be trying to see Reis
[23:23] <@DeathStar> 6* It's up to Kit if Reis would see her
[23:23] <Kit> 6Reis greets Jennifer with a plethora of armored guards.
[23:23] <@Jennifer> "H-Hey... I got sorta put out of place... did my friends leave a note or anything?"
[23:24] <Kit> 6The guards stare at Jennifer, eyeing one another.
06[23:24] * @Jennifer looks calmly at Reis.
[23:24] <Kit> 6Reis isn't there to look at
06[23:25] * @Jennifer frowns, "I need to see Reis."
[23:26] <Kit> 6They point spears at her-- but after a few minutes Reis ambles down, yawning. 1"..What is it, now?"
[23:26] <@Jennifer> "Hey... I'm looking for my friends."
[23:26] <Kit> <Reis> They left without you.
[23:27] <@Jennifer> "Did they leave a note or something, some kinda word?"
[23:27] <Kit> <Reis> No, a bunch of numbers and babbled about some floating island nonsense.
[23:27] <@Jennifer> "An address... can I get those numbers please?"
[23:27] <Kit> <Reis> Maybe.
[23:28] <@Jennifer> "M-Maybe?" *she blinks a bit*
[23:28] <Kit> <Reis> I already let you guys stay at the palace and confiscate supplies for your trips and agreed to let this place be used as a haven in your 'epic travels through reality.'
[23:29] <Kit> <Reis> But I haven't forgotten you all defiled my bed. I want something in exchange.
[23:29] <@Jennifer> "What do you want?"
[23:29] <Kit> <Reis> You can do my laundry.
[23:29] <Kit> 6The guards eye one another again, cringing.
06[23:30] * @Jennifer blinks a bit. "Alright... I guess that sounds fair..."
[23:30] <Kit> <Reis> Right. You can start with floor one.
[23:30] <@Jennifer> "F-Floor one? How much is there?"
[23:31] <Kit> <Reis> Well, this whole palace is mine, so technically all the bedding, all my closets full and all of the people within it... their laundry is all mine. Technically the city's too, but I'll only hold you to the palace bedding and the royal servant's. Chop-chop." 6She closes her book on the number coordinates and heads back upstairs.
06[23:32] * @Jennifer sighs and sets about doing the work needed to find her friends.
[23:32] <Kit> 6The guards sheepishly back away, then move to other things.
[23:32] <@DeathStar> -SCENE SHFIT-
[23:32] <@DeathStar> Location: Post-Nuclear Reality
[23:32] <@DeathStar> <X> No, I'm not happy, bring her back - I want to talk with her.
[23:32] <@DeathStar> 6* X crosses her arms.
[23:33] <Kit> 6Key crosses her arms in mimicry, but then huffs childishly.
[23:33] <Kit> <Key> Never want talk. Key.
[23:33] <@DeathStar> <X> I'm talking to you right now.
[23:33] <@DeathStar> <X> I want to know if she's found Crabman, Key. 6* There's an edge of pain in her tone
[23:33] <Kit> 6Key blinks, then considers that and nods, then disappears.
[23:33] <Kit> <Lilith> ...Ungh." 6She sighs.
[23:34] <Ariel> Raquel> "She's a good girl. Just... hard to talk to."
[23:34] <Kit> 6Key reappears, looking mad. She puffs her cheeks and purses her lips. 1"...Stupid girl, gone."
[23:34] <@DeathStar> <X> What!? .... 6* She looks upset now, peering away. "How am I suppose to learn anything from her now?!"
[23:34] <Kit> 6Key jerks, then moves to hide behind Raquel.
[23:35] <Ariel> 6* Raquel sighs, pondering this over.
[23:35] <@DeathStar> 6* X slumps to sit down, resting her head against the railing, looking broken
[23:35] <@DeathStar> <X> Stupid Jennifer.
[23:36] <Ariel> Raquel> "Can you find ANY of the others, Key?"
[23:36] <Kit> 6Key shakes her head.
[23:37] <@DeathStar> <X> Maybe we should go back to the reality Jennifer was in and try to find information
[23:37] <@DeathStar> <X> Can you take us all where you found her?
[23:38] <Kit> 6Key nods, then shoves Raquel over and pushes them all over into a pile-- she sits on top, then warps them all.
[23:39] <@DeathStar> -TBC-
