[20:02] <01@DeathStar> Reality Day: 75
[20:02] <01@DeathStar> Location: Beach House
[20:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl, Lemon, Chii, Scott, and Cole are currently gone on one of the reality assignments, after Cheryl finished making the new tactical suits, which are resting in the living area; everyone's been stripped of crystals once more so the damaged ones can be marked (except Chii's 3)
[20:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* John sits in a chair, watching the holovid
[20:04] <01Dias`> 6Dias hops onto the couch with a beer and two sandwiches. He holds one out to John.
06[20:04] * 01@Jennifer sits on the couch, peering at the holovid as well, curled up on it a bit.
[20:04] <01@DeathStar> <John> I'm god.
[20:04] <01@DeathStar> (good)
[20:05] <01Dias`> <Dias> You're loss. 6He sets on on the coffee table and starts eating his other one. 1"So any idea when we get to try our new tact suits out?
[20:05] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane quietly sits at the table, eating.
[20:05] <01@DeathStar> <John> I think the others already are.
[20:06] <01Kit> 6Key leans over the couch. 1"Lemonade look good."
[20:06] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's team flashes back in, only gone about 15 minutes.
[20:06] <01Dias`> <Dias> I honestly don't how how I feel considering I'm usually the one that gets hit in fights.
02[20:06] * X1 (scoutx1@66-227-210-222.dhcp.trcy.mi.charter.com) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
[20:06] <01Kit> <Key> No strategy. Run at things.
[20:07] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pauses and glances up towards Cheryl's team.
06[20:07] * 01@Jennifer looks over, blinking a bit. "Welcome back!"
[20:07] <01Ariel> * Raquel wanders in to look at the tacsuits, when she's surprised to see Cheryl and the others return. She barely had time to make her tea, and here they are.
[20:07] <01Dias`> 6Dias glances back at them returning. 1"I guess that means they're holding out.
[20:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves over. "Alright, get everyone gathered. We hit a legendary reality."
[20:08] <01Dias`> <Dias> Really? 6He hops up.
01[20:09] <01@Jennifer> "Suits working great then?"
[20:09] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane arches a brow and wipes his mouth. 1That's excellent news.
[20:09] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Didn't get shot to find out, thanks
[20:09] <01Dias`> 6Dias ooh's and moves over to grab his suit.
[20:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* John sits up, grabbing a tactical suit
06[20:09] * 01@Jennifer looks down embarrased. "G-Gomen..."
03[20:09] * Ariel is now known as Raquel
[20:09] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole rubs his nose slightly.
06[20:10] * 01Raquel puts down her cup and goes to take her tacsuit
[20:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* Scott checks his gun as he waits. Cheryl goes over something with Lemon, who nods and moves to get supplies.
[20:10] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pushes himself to his feet and moves to get ready.
[20:11] <01Dias`> 6Dias strips his clothes off and starts to put it on. He grabs X's and makes his way to their room
[20:11] <01Kit> <Chii> There's something weird about it, though, Cheryl.
06[20:11] * 01@Jennifer looks over at Chii.
[20:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chii
[20:11] <01Kit> <Chii> It kind of felt like when you brought us to Mega City.
[20:12] <01Kit> <Key> Key get one?
[20:12] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eh?
[20:12] <01Kit> <Chii> Yuurei. I felt like there was a lot of them.
[20:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* John steps down and pats Key n the back. "Help yourself."
[20:12] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yuu what?
03[20:12] * X1 (scoutx1@66-227-210-222.dhcp.trcy.mi.charter.com) has joined #taw
[20:12] <01Kit> 6Key thumbs up and goes to grab one, throwing her clothes off bit by bit.
[20:13] <01Kit> <Chii> Er, ghosts, sorry.
[20:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon picks them up after her
06[20:13] * 01@Jennifer looks up to see if there's one for her, then looks back down as she sees Key stripping.
[20:13] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eh. As long as they don't get in our way.
[20:13] <01Dias`> 6Dias opens the door and whistles. 1"X, time to suit up. We found us a legendary reality."
[20:13] <01Kit> 6Key zips up her new suit, beaming since she never had one before.
[20:14] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane walks back down the steps, ready to go.
[20:14] <01Kit> <Key> Look, X!" 6She poses.
[20:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* X takes the suit from Dias, eyeing Key, nodding in approval, then ripples Dias out so she can change
[20:14] <01Kit> <Chii> Well, it wasn't like they felt malignant or anything. It's just not... often I feel so many lingering souls.
[20:14] <01Dias`> 6Dias sighs as he moves down the steps. 1"Won't even let me see her change."
[20:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her unit. "We were there an hour, gone here about 15. Time moves slower here compared to there. Good."
06[20:15] * 01@Jennifer sits back and looks over the others now.
06[20:15] * 01Raquel retrieves her tea after returning from changing, "So what's this reality like?"
[20:16] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Didn't get a good look at it.
[20:16] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole shrugs. 1Saw one reality, seen em all.
[20:16] <01Dias`> <Dias> Well if there's a legendary I suppose we can expect a challenge
[20:16] <01Kit> <Chii> You'd like it. Lots of souls to horde for yourself." 6She narrows her eyes at Raquel, as if that's more disdainful than the fact she can eat them.
[20:16] <01Raquel> "I guess it's nothing extreme then..."
[20:17] <01Kit> 6Key thumbs up to X, then appears over the cough enough that she can fall back into it and stretch.
[20:17] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Okay, good. Scott, you'll stay here, babysit. 6* She tells him; he nods as X moves down teh stairs
[20:17] <01Dias`> 6Disa tilts his head back and whistles at X as she walks down the stairs
06[20:17] * 01@Jennifer peers over at Raquel, Jennifer is now 10 years old. She then looks at Scott apologetically.
[20:17] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Ooh. Sounds fun. 6He says in a sarcastic tone.
[20:18] <01Kit> <Chii> Depends on your tastes.
[20:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* X ripplehits him
[20:18] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Get us synched up, Lemon. 6* Lemon nods, doing so
[20:18] <01Dias`> <Dias> Ow...6He rubs the spot she hit.
[20:18] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> If we're not back in 5 days, come looking for us
[20:18] <01@DeathStar> <Scott> Understood
06[20:18] * 01Raquel puts down the cup. Nothing she'll take with her.
[20:19] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Just ask for the sexy one. 6He points to himself.
06[20:19] * 01@Jennifer blinks a bit. "Good luck..."
[20:19] <01Kit> <Chii> You're giving us 20 days? Yeesh.
[20:19] <01Dias`> 6Dias shifts and points the finger back to himself
06[20:19] * 01@Jennifer smiles a bit at Cole.
[20:19] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> The reality felt medievalish. Walking could take days
[20:19] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane just shakes his head slightly at Dias and Cole, checking his pistol.
[20:20] <01Raquel> "See? THAT would be a good thing to know when asked what things are like..."
[20:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* John rubs the back of his head
06[20:20] * 01@Jennifer returns to peering at Raquel.
[20:20] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Oooh, did you just get snappy at the boss? You got girl balls. I like that.
[20:20] <01Dias`> 6Dias stares at Raquel now, clearly shocked.
06[20:20] * 01Raquel looks embarassed now, realizing what she just did
[20:21] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Or it could be that we were in a forest where there was no major cities and it's 20th century, too
[20:21] <01Dias`> <Dias> I think Raquels ready and eager.
[20:21] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Get the point of not enough info?
[20:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers at Lemon, who nods she's ready.
[20:22] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole holds up a hand for Raquel to high five.
[20:22] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Okay, jump us. 6* The group vanishes in their beam of light and appear on a hill side overlooking a bunch of nothingness; fields, forests as far as the eye can see.
[20:23] <01Dias`> 6Dias glances around. 1"We should get a birds eye view."
[20:23] <01Kit> <Key> ...wahhh!" 6She runs ahead, twirling in grass.
[20:23] <01@DeathStar> 6* In the far, far distance something like a mountain, perhaps, can be seen, rising to the clouds above and further
[20:23] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon mimics Key cheerfully. Cheryl peers over. "Can you get a better lock this time, Lemon?"
[20:24] <01Kit> <Chii> ...I like the air here, though.
[20:24] <01Dias`> 6Dias looks over at X. 1"Can you open a ripple up high so I can look through?
[20:24] <01@DeathStar> <X> Have the girls with balls do it.
[20:24] <01@DeathStar> *girl
[20:24] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole sniffs slightly and begins to talk forward after the two girls, peering around.
[20:25] <01Dias`> 6Dias looks at X oddly then shrugs and looks at Raq. 1"Raq, birds eye view ripple."
06[20:25] * 01Raquel gives X a startled look, "You'd... trust him with me, over you?"
[20:25] <01@DeathStar> 6* John peers over the hill side. "Yeah, I'd say the air here hasn't been polluated. Definitely not current time.
[20:25] <01@DeathStar> <X> If you fail, then I will have reason to destroy you
[20:25] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane hmms. 1What is that in the distance? 6He squints.
[20:25] <01Kit> 6Key peers back at the ripple girls and shakes her head, then closes her eyes, letting out her wings and leaps upward, climbing to get a look aroun
[20:26] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Give my eyes a moment to focus on it
[20:26] <01Dias`> <Dias> I'll let you know in a second.
06[20:26] * 01Raquel sighs and nods. She opens a ripple under X and drops Dias as high into the sky as she can.
[20:26] <01Raquel> NRP: Er... under Dias
[20:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* As Key gets higher up, she'd see the entire world map; villages here, ruins there, dungeons there, caves there, voices of the soon to be dead speaking
[20:26] <01@DeathStar> 6* X watches Dias drop out of sight, then peers up. She begins to look amused
[20:26] <01Kit> 6Key pauses, grabbing ahold of appearing Dias, but makes a face at the odd sensation
[20:27] <01Dias`> 6Dias blinks as he starts falling. 1"Really?!" 6He sighs and peers around
[20:27] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> The crystal is somewhere--- far above us.
[20:27] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Like, ... in space? 6* Lemon shrugs
[20:27] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and looks up. 1If it's Dias, that's lame.
[20:27] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I would gander to guess it involves that. 6He points to the object in the distance.
[20:28] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> Higher than that.
06[20:28] * 01Raquel lets Dias get a good amount of air time, not opening another ripple for him until he gets to about 50' above the ground, before rippling him to safety
[20:28] <01Kit> 6Key lowers back down to the field, setting Dias down, then rubs her face, blinking a bit.
[20:28] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Makes you wonder how far that thing goes above the cloudline, then
[20:28] <01@DeathStar> <John> You okay there, Key?
[20:29] <01Dias`> 6Dias scratches his face. 1"That mountain like thing is massive."
[20:29] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> If it's not that thing, you may need to form your gear and go into Space.
[20:30] <01Kit> <Chii> How high up are we talking?
[20:30] <01Dias`> <Dias> Higher then either Key or I were.
[20:30] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah, Gear form it is then
[20:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts to hold out her hands to Chii
[20:31] <01Kit> 6Chii pauses, then nods, holding her hands up to Cheryl's and closing her eyes.
[20:32] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon watches the two's tactical suits beam out momentarily right before they transform into a dragoon mech. Cheryl holds out her hands to the group
[20:32] <01Dias`> 6Dias leaps up onto her hand.
[20:32] <01Kit> <Chii> ...Did we just-- magical girl style change?
[20:33] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole sits down on the pinky.
06[20:33] * 01Raquel climbs up, and hopes theres enough atmosphere up there
[20:33] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> It's to spare the suits. I didn't have the material to make them special like our old ones
[20:33] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane climbs up onto the hand, holding out a hand to help Lemon up.
[20:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon takes it, smiling at Kane cheerfully, leaning against him. John hops up, and X climbs up Raquel to get up
[20:33] <01Kit> <Chii> ...Couldn't you use the old ones?
06[20:34] * 01Raquel eyes X, but says nothing
[20:34] <01Kit> 6Key leaps up and runs along the arm to the shoulder, then springs up onto Cheryl's head. She holds up one hand. 1"Suuuooooh!"
[20:34] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Taken longer. Just be glad these things can do some basic transformations
[20:34] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lifts up into the air and flies up for the clouds
[20:34] <01Kit> <Chii> What are basic 'transformations?'
[20:35] <01Dias`> 6Dias grabs onto her middle finger and he peers around as they fly upwards
[20:35] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> So not that I need to worry about it, but if we leave the atmosphere, what will those of us that have lungs do?
[20:35] <01Kit> 6Key manifests reddish pointy sunglasses to protect her eyes.
[20:35] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Clothing styles that don't spread the suit too thin - like one piece outfits. Two pieces are stretching it.
[20:35] <01@DeathStar> <John> I think we're only trying to see how high it is, not going into space
[20:35] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Oohh. Good call. 6He nods.
[20:36] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane cheeks are a tinge of red but he says nothing, just uses a pair of binoculars to get a good idea of the scenary.
[20:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* As they reach the cloud, Cheryl's zapped by some mystical barrier, enough it knocks her out and they begin to fall back toward the planet
[20:37] <01Dias`> 6Dias jerks and grabs onto her finger tightly as they begin to fall. 1"We hit something!"
[20:37] <01Kit> <Chii> Hey!? HEY!" 6She tries to wrestle control.
[20:37] <01Kit> <Key> Barrier!
[20:37] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane jerks and holds onto Lemon as they fall.
[20:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* X shifts to hold onto whatever she can, as John rolls and falls up toward hte head
[20:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* Chii would find the controls sluggish, as if Cheryl took a bad hit.
[20:37] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and glances around. 1Uh. Let's take a vote, who can fly?
[20:37] <01Kit> 6Chii wrenches on them to keep her from eating dirt completely at least.
[20:38] <01Dias`> <Dias> I'm sure I can if I really need to.
[20:38] <01Kit> <Key> Key fly!
[20:38] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and tries to leap up and grab John.
[20:38] <01Kit> 6Key spreads her wings of light as if its indicative.
[20:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl roughly lands, coming to a stop; they're closer to the large object, that seems to be a mountain like area around a tree in the middle; the tree being what rises so hard. On the way down, ni a forest nearby, one would spot a village, perhaps, if they paid attention
[20:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* John gives COle a thumbs up after Cheryl settles down
[20:39] <01Dias`> 6Dias jerks as they hit and slide, his lower body swinging around the finger
[20:39] <01@DeathStar> 6* X falls into Raquel as a cushion
[20:39] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Are you alright? 6He peers Lemon over.
[20:40] <01Dias`> <Dias> Is everyone alright?
[20:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon nods; a moment later Cheryl returns to normal form, with everyone crushing her, and Dias holding her finger awkwardly
[20:40] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Whew that could've been bad.
06[20:40] * 01Raquel oofs as she's used as padding
[20:40] <01Dias`> 6Dias blinks and peers down at that. 1"Even unconcious she's flicking me off."
[20:40] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pauses and shifts off of Cheryl. Cole slowly reaches down towards Cheryl's butt.
[20:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon hurries to get off, kneeling to check Cheryl worriedly
[20:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* John falls off her head, then rolls to his feet, while X stands up, dusting herself off
[20:41] <01Kit> 6Chii punches Cole in the kidney.
[20:41] <01Dias`> 6Dias grabs her wrist, awkwardly feeling for a pulse
[20:41] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole jerks and makes a face. 1OW. You know, you're a jerk.
[20:41] <01Kit> <Chii> And you're leching my wife.
[20:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's indeed alive, her pulse erratic
[20:41] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> It's not like she can't take care of herself.
[20:42] <01Kit> <Chii> So?
[20:42] <01@DeathStar> <John> Dude, shes unconscious
[20:42] <01Dias`> <Dias> I'm no expert, but the beating feeling from her wrist doesn't seem normal
[20:42] <01Kit> 6Chii squints. 
[20:42] <01Kit> <Chii> She'd do the same for me.
[20:42] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Wait, really? Oh. My bad. 6He frowns and kneels.
[20:42] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane moves Dias aside and checks Cheryl over, hmming. 1Somethings wrong indeed.
[20:42] <01@DeathStar> 6* A single feather floats down to land on Cheryl.
[20:42] <01Dias`> 6Dias eyes Kane move him. 1"So cruel..."6He eyes the flower then peers up
[20:42] <01Kit> 6Chii thinks on it then shakes her head. 1"Actually she'd probably break pieces of you. Eh." 6She pauses, reaching out to grasp the feather.
[20:43] <01Dias`> NRP: feather
[20:43] <01@DeathStar> 6* There's a presence there for sure. Something powerful.
[20:43] <01Kit> 6Key lands beside the group, having cushioned her own landing.
[20:43] <01Dias`> 6Dias shifts slightly, getting into a fighting stance. 1"Somethings here."
[20:43] <01Kit> 6Chii narrows her eyes a bit, then draws both guns, aiming upward. 1"Yeah, you're right."
[20:44] <01@DeathStar> <John> ... 6* He looks around. X tenses; Raquel would feel something like herself there, but much more godly
[20:44] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole glances around. 1I don't see anything.
[20:44] <01Dias`> 6Dias bounces slightly, almost as if he's enjoying the feeling. 1"It's strong, whatever it is."
06[20:44] * 01Raquel looks around a moment, then closes her eyes, so she can better focus on sensing spiritual energy
[20:45] <01Kit> 6Chii makes a face, then holsters one gun. She holds out her left hand, forming a wisp of blue flame, then shifts, hurtling it toward the source.
[20:45] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane checks to see if there's anything he can do to get Cheryl's pulse stable.
[20:45] <01Kit> <Chii> Quit hiding!
[20:45] <01@DeathStar> 6* Raquel can't see whatever it is, at least not on this plane. Chii's wisp hits something, dying down. At that moment, Cheryl's pulse begins to drop, as if she were dying
[20:45] <01Dias`> 6Dias eyes Chii at that. 1"Really? You're going to threaten whatever it is that's out therE?"
[20:45] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> Mistress Cheryl's vitals are dropping!
[20:46] <01Kit> <Chii> Of course! If it's hiding, it has a reason. And I don't like the vibe I'm getting. Light affinic-- and strong.
[20:46] <01@DeathStar> 6* X narrows her eyes
[20:46] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane tries to give her a nano injection to keep her stable. 1I-I'm not sure exactly what's going on.
[20:46] <01Kit> 6Chii jerks, holstering her other gun and kneels, grasping Cheryl. 1"Hey, hey, hey, don't joke!"
[20:46] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> It makes no sense - her vitals are just dropping, as if...
06[20:46] * 01Raquel opens her eyes, and looks at Chii, "If whoever it is, is strong, then you DON'T automatically pick a fight with them..."
[20:46] <01Dias`> <Dias> Stupid. 6He shakes his head at Chii and he shifts about, dropping his stance slightly.
[20:46] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Is something doing it? Is something killing her?
[20:47] <01@DeathStar> <John> Is it me or whatever it is killing her?
[20:47] <01Kit> <Chii> It's how you stay alive. Strike first.
[20:47] <01Dias`> <Dias> Which means Chii made it mad.
06[20:47] * 01Raquel sits down on the ground, and puts on her bracer.
[20:47] <01@DeathStar> <John> I doubt it; feather landed on her before Chiii did anything
[20:47] <01@DeathStar> <John> And that feather is certainly not natural
[20:47] <01Kit> <Chii> The other thing that pisses me off-- I can't see it. Illusions don't work on me.
[20:47] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> How do we stop it? Is there no way?
[20:48] <01Dias`> <Dias> Didn't know feathers could do that. 6He peers up again. 1"Show yourself."
[20:48] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's vitals hit zero and her body begins to go cold.
[20:48] <01Kit> 6Chii eyes the feather at that, putting it on Cheryl's chest.
[20:48] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane jerks, shaking her slightly. 1Shes...gone.
[20:48] <01@DeathStar> 6* Once RAquel puts on the bracer, she'd see a woman with beautiful hair, and wearing valkyrie armor, complete with wings, holding what appers to be Cheryl's soul in her human form. Cheryl's cursing a storm
[20:48] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> .... no!
[20:49] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole's mouth drops open as he kneels there, looking shocked.
06[20:49] * 01Raquel eyes the valkyrie woman, "Hey! Leave her be!"
[20:49] <01Dias`> 6Dias' eyes dart towards Cheryls body and his fists clench tightly
[20:50] <01Kit> 6Chii growls slightly, eyeing upward twitching. She brings up her hand and starts manipulating dark energy. Cheryl's soul isn't something she'll hand over.
[20:50] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her. "Raquel!" <Valkyrie> This woman is a brave warrior, but she tried to enter the realm of the gods. Her life is the price.... 6* She turns to eye Chii now. "What demonic power is this...?"
[20:50] <01Kit> <Chii> I'll take you both!" 6She hisses, although it's more like three if Raquel's wandering too close.
[20:51] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane watches Chii, frowning that he can't do anything.
[20:51] <01Raquel> "Price? If you don't want people to enter, put up a sign! You've no right to just take her soul without warning!"
[20:52] <01@DeathStar> <Valkyrie> It is the will of Odin. She will become an Einherjar. <Cheryl> Fuck you
[20:52] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole rubs his nose. 1What...exactly is going on?
[20:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* The valkyrie turns, and draws her sword ,slashing out. Chii would find herself flung back, her move interrupted, and now everyone can see the valkyrie
[20:53] <01Dias`> <Dias> I'm not sure. But that persons still here.
[20:53] <01@DeathStar> <Valkyrie> You will cease your interference, demon
[20:53] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole jerks and pushes himself to his feet. 1Wait, is this the biatch that killed Cheryl!?
[20:53] <01Kit> 6Key tilts her head a bit, then jumps beside Chii once she starts forming the devouring runes, Amaterasu in her right hand. She draws quickly, but instead of the blade, raps Chii's head with the hilt, knocking her out, only to shift, wincing as she braces herself against the wind, her own wings out and her armour materializing.
[20:53] <01@DeathStar> 6* John jerks as the woman appears, and X aims a holy arrow.
[20:53] <01Dias`> 6Dias jerks as Chii is flung back and he eyes the Valkyrie now. 1"So that's it.
[20:54] <01@DeathStar> <Valkyrie> I have no issue with the rest of you; accept this woman is now part of Odin's army.
[20:54] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane pulls out a pistol, watching the Valkyrie closely
[20:54] <01Raquel> "You are not taking her. I don't care if you work for Odin, Zeus, or Amaterasu. You're not just taking her away for flying into some invisible boundery!"
[20:54] <01Dias`> <Dias> That's where we have a problem. 6He rotates his shoulders. 1"Cheryl's with us."
[20:54] <01Kit> <Key> Are you false goddess, too?" 6She blinks curiously at the Valkyrie, drawing closer.
[20:55] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Look, Cheryl's our friend. You're not taking her, sorry.
[20:55] <01@DeathStar> <Valkyrie> I am afraid you have no say in the matter
[20:56] <01Dias`> <Dias> I say we do. 6He shifts his feet apart now.
[20:56] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole crackles with electricity. 1I don't like hitting girls, but I'll make an exception.
06[20:56] * 01Raquel forms a holy arrow, "Do not make this unresonable."
[20:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* The Valkyrie lifts a hand and 4 warriors appear around her. Two of them they don't recognize, the other looks like Drake, and the last... Lilith.
[20:57] <01Kit> <Key> Arrow won't work.
[20:57] <01@DeathStar> <Valkyrie> This is a battle you cannot win. I will obey Odin's will.
[20:57] <01Dias`> 6Dias eyes the four warrios appearing, his eyes lingering on Lilith for a second before he eyes X.
[20:57] <01Kit> 6Key gasps, then cheerfully waves to Lilith. 1"Lily!"
[20:57] <01@DeathStar> 6* X jerks in shock
[20:57] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane frowns at that. 1Lilith.
[20:57] <01Dias`> <Dias> Raquel, if it's a soul game she wants to play, do what you can to keep her soul here.
[20:58] <01Kit> 6Lilith stares at Key impassively, then shifts, entering her iaido stance. Key blinks, then thinking it's a game, mimics it-- mirrored.
[20:58] <01@DeathStar> <John> ...
[20:58] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> So they're...dead warriors right? Like zombies?
[20:58] <01@DeathStar> <Valkyrie> They are Einherjar.
[20:58] <01Dias`> <Dias> X, I need to know you're still here.
[20:58] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon holds onto Cheryl's cold body. X doesn't respond to Dias, staring at Lilith in shock
[20:58] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Yeah I don't like that word. So I'll take this unknown zombie here. That cool? 6He points to one.
[20:58] <01Kit> <Key> Lady not say. False goddess like Key!?
06[20:59] * 01Raquel narrows her eyes seeing Drake and Lilith. She ripples herself right up to the valkyrie, and attempts to grab Cheryl's soul before she can do... whatever this one does with it.
[20:59] <01Kit> 6Lilith makes a face at Key saying that, dashing forward and drawing, ridiculously fast. Key tenses, responding with the same, creating a horrid ring as their swords screech along one another and deflect.
[20:59] <01Kit> 6Both Lilith and Key enter the swallow counter afterwards, drawing a stare from Lilith.
[20:59] <01@DeathStar> <Valkyrie> I am but a valkyrie in service of my lord Odin. 6* As Raquel goes to do so, the Valkyrie holds up a hand and suddenly RAquel's own soul is caught by some web like strings around her, that begin to capture her soul.
[21:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* The archer aims at Cole adn fires an arrow at him
[21:00] <01Kit> 
[21:00] <01Dias`> 6Dias throws his hand forward towards the Valkyrie and fires a small beam of dark energy at her
[21:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* Drake leaps in the path to take the hit, grunting in pain
[21:01] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole acks and tries to dodge but gets struck in the shoulder. 1OW. 6He jerks and makes a face, trying to pull it out.
[21:01] <01Kit> 6Key jerks as Lilith moves in to strike again, and the two trade a series of systematic flash-strikes before turning to the opposite stances.
[21:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* John deals with the fourth warrior. It's an epic fight, surely.
[21:01] <01Dias`> 6Dias twists and he dashes off to the side to ark around the warriors to get another shot off at the Valkyrie
[21:01] <01Kit> <Lilith> Drake, are you alright?
06[21:01] * 01Raquel winces. She's not strong enough to try the same trick on the Valkyrie, so she forms a death essence dagger, and swipes for her. Trying to drive her back.
[21:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* Drake blocks again with his body. "Yeah, I'll be fine." 6* He grunts in pain
[21:02] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole arghs when he pulls it out then dashes towards the archer.
[21:02] <01@DeathStar> 6* The archer unleashes a deadly finish move of arrows at Cole
[21:02] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole skids to a halt and throws up his shield to try and knock some back or at least block them.
[21:02] <01Dias`> 6Dias pivots his feet and he slides backwards. He throws his hand out and fires a beam of dark energy at the arrows to cut some off
[21:03] <01Kit> 6Lilith nods to Drake, as if that's enough reassurance, then blinks when Key disappears, appearing behind Valkyrie, sword sheathed and moving to try and hug her. Lilith whirls, shifting quickly and going for a thrusting strike with precise aim.
[21:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* The Valkyrie shits to dodge the strike. She eyes Raquel. "You should not have such abominations." 6* She says dangerously, tightening the webs to focus on removing that ability from Raquel; it does give her a reprieve from losing her soul
[21:03] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane puts a hand to Lemon's shoulder and gets to his feet stepping forward to fire a few shots for the Valkyrie.
[21:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* The archer fires a single arrow at Dias now
06[21:04] * 01Raquel keeps a grip on the death energy... but only enough to make it hard on the Valkyrie. She's more concerned with retrieving Cheryl's soul, and keeping her own, than that essence.
[21:04] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole moves forward and throws out a punch for the archer.
[21:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* Valkyrie lets Lilith handle Key, hopefully, as her magic essence blocks some of Kane's shots
[21:04] <01Dias`> 6Dias twists his body to try and avoid it, his hand swinging behind his back and firing another small dark beam towards the Valkyrie
[21:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* Drake shifts in front of the beam again, hit once more. He pants in pain.
[21:05] <01Dias`> 6Dias pivots and he breaks off into a dash right for Drake and the Valkyrie
[21:06] <01@Xanatos> 6Kane pulls out a knife and throws it forward, firing a shot low.
[21:06] <01Kit> 6Key squeals, barely dodging the thrust, eyeing it at her neck, then leans back to flip backwards in the air. She strikes at Lilith, who shifts her hand to twist the tsuba around and guards with it, immediately making two simultaneous strikes. Key deflects the first with a desperate movement, then freezes as the other lands the sword aiming directly at her throat.
[21:06] <01Kit> <Lilith> ...You are strangely proficient, but lack experience.
[21:07] <01Kit> <Key> Just want answer!" 6She pouts.
[21:07] <01@DeathStar> 6* Valkyrie eyes Raquel, letting Drake block the knife with his weapon and her shield take the shot. She focuses all her energy, and suddenly Raquel would find herself flung back into her body roughly, her spirit form knocked right into it, and her death knife gone and no attachments to Cheryl's soul; however, Valkyrie appears open to attack, panting
[21:07] <01@DeathStar> <Valkyrie> You are...no normal...being.
[21:08] <01Dias`> 6Dias kicks off and up into the air. 1"Either am I." 6He thrusts both hands down towards Valkryie and he fires off two dark beams at her
[21:08] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane fires 3 shots forward for the valkyrie's side.
[21:08] <01@DeathStar> 6* Drake pushes Valkyrie to the side, all the attacks striking him. He screams in agony as he fades away into nothingness.
[21:08] <01@DeathStar> <Valkyrie> --- no!
[21:08] <01Kit> 6Key makes a face, shifting and taking Lilith's nodachi right through her shoulder, actually reaching up and grasping it, then twirls in the air and hurdles Lilith by it at her.
06[21:09] * 01Raquel takes a sharp breath, overwhelmed momentarily by the shock of being so sharply returned, "...maybe I should have went for you... inste-"
[21:09] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane makes a face and throws out an electric disc for her while she's distracted.
[21:09] <01Dias`> 6Dias lands in a crouch and he kicks off, moving in at Valkyrie
[21:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* The Valkyrie is struck by the disc, crying out in pain. Her 78,000 HP is chipped down by 100
[21:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* The archer, meanwhile, struggles t ostand up from the punch
[21:10] <01Dias`> 6Dias leaps in low, his body twisting around as he throws a sweeping kick for her right side
[21:10] <01@DeathStar> 6* Valkyrie falls to the side, so Lilith hits Dias
06[21:11] * 01Raquel ripples herself behind the Valkyrie and grabs her. Attempting to drain her soul to slow her down. She's ticked off about Drake being used as this bitch's shield.
[21:11] <01Kit> 6Chii groans slightly, starting push herself up. 1"Son of a..."
[21:11] <01Dias`> 6Dias is hit by the Lilith missile and he goes tumbling
[21:11] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole attempts to finish up with a knee and judo chop combo.
[21:11] <01@DeathStar> 6* Raquel would feel that to drain her soul would be to take on unimaginable power, power that could likely kill her
[21:11] <01Kit> 6Lilith shakes her head, quickly recovering, but notices Drake's missing so she doesn't strike at Dias right away.
[21:11] <01Kit> <Lilith> Impossible..
[21:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* The archer stays down; John joins them again, having won his epic fight
[21:12] <01Dias`> 6Dias plants his hands and flips himself up and onto his feet.
[21:12] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Does my wound look bad? 6He walks up to John, poking at his shoulder wound.
[21:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* That moment, all around them, various Asgard warriors appear, aiming their weapons at the team. A blonde hair woman speaks. "You will release Lenneth Valkyrie right now, or we will kill you all."
[21:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* John goes to respond, then eyes the small god army appear out of nowhere.
[21:13] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and glances around. 1Oh now this isn't fair.
[21:13] <01Dias`> 6Dias spins around, his fists quickly sliding up at them all.
[21:13] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> ... 6He frowns and lowers his pistol.
[21:13] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks around, frowning and holding Cheryl closer. X narrows her eyes, aiming a holy arrow at the speaker.
[21:13] <01Raquel> "...she'll release our companion, or it'll be the end of both of us..."
[21:13] <01Kit> 6Chii puts a hand to her face, then turns and hurtles a shuriken up at the Valkyrie, growling loudly. Key appears between them and takes it to the gut. 1"No hurt until answer!"
[21:13] <01Dias`> 6Dias lowers his hands. 1"X."
[21:14] <01Kit> 6Chii twitches, eyeing the newcomers, her hands twitching anxiously close to her weapons.
[21:14] <01@DeathStar> <Woman> Stupid child, either you will stop your attack now, or your friends will die pointlessly
[21:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* This is said to Chii and Raquel
[21:14] <01Kit> <Chii> You're really pissing me off.
[21:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* The woman in green hovers there
[21:14] <01Dias`> 6Dias let's out a breathe and makes his way towards X.
[21:14] <01Kit> <Chii> Is everyone in this place light affinic?
[21:14] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I believe I understand now. 6He says finally.
[21:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* X lowers the holy arrow, frowning. Lenneth is quiet, not struggling against Raquel at this point
[21:15] <01@DeathStar> <John> Understand?
[21:15] <01Dias`> 6Dias nods to her and he turns to eye all the godlets
[21:15] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Ancient stories told of women that collected souls of warriors for the gods. I believe this is a similar case.
[21:15] <01Kit> <Chii> Gh.. What would Freyja do in this position..?
[21:16] <01@DeathStar> <Woman> Release Lenneth now. I will not tell you again. 6* She tells Raquel
[21:16] <01Kit> <Key> Hai. Valkyrie." 6She jerks a thumb at herself. 1"Key project named Valkyrie by collecting the hopes of all people."
06[21:16] * 01Raquel seems content to hold Lenneth at her mercy, without inflicting further trouble. "...she returns Cheryl. We don't get ourselves ripped apart. Seems like a good deal. She had no right to take her in the first place."
[21:16] <01@DeathStar> 6* The woman aims at Lemon, and suddenly she screams, and falls over dead
[21:16] <01@DeathStar> <Woman> Shall I continue?
[21:17] <01Kit> <Chii> L-Lemon?!
[21:17] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane jerks and narrows his eyes, jerking Raquel off of Lenneth.
[21:17] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> You moron.
[21:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* John jerks in shock at how the woman did it without blinking an eye
[21:17] <01Dias`> 6Dias eyes go wide at that. 1"Raquel. Just do what they say right now."
[21:17] <01Kit> 6Chii holds up a hand to her face, her irises narrowing.
[21:17] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Give her back to us, she does not speak for us all. 6He notes, glaring at Raquel.
[21:18] <01@DeathStar> <X> .... 6* She trembles in rage ,eyeing Lilith. "Did they do the same thing to her?"
06[21:18] * 01Raquel would have ripped out Lenneth's soul right there, if Kane didn't grab her first. The girl is radiating anger right now.
[21:18] <01Kit> <Lilith> I am an Einherjar of my own will.
[21:18] <01@DeathStar> <Woman> Is that so? 6* She holds an orb in her hand, then tosses it back into Lemon, who gasps
[21:18] <01Dias`> <Dias> I don't know, X.
[21:18] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> ...look green lady, can we just have our boss back so we can go home?
[21:18] <01Kit> <Chii> You serve 'Odin' too, don't you?
[21:19] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> You calm yourself or I will make you. 6He threatens Raquel quietly.
[21:19] <01@DeathStar> <Woman> I am afraid not. You have all assaulted one of the gods, and punishment must be issued now. You will come with us to await your punishment.
[21:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth shifts, peering at the ground quietly, frowning; she clearly didn't want it to come to this
[21:19] <01Kit> <Chii> I want to see him." 6She says throatily.
[21:19] <01Dias`> <Dias> Who's a god?
[21:19] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> OH come'on she took our friend. What would you do if we took one of your friend?
[21:19] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Pretty please?
[21:20] <01@DeathStar> <Woman> Your friend is one of our warriors now. She will serve us in Ragnarok. If you are so lucky, you will be able to do the same, instead of ending up without any sort of life. 6* She snaps her fingers; the group would find themselves in a prison cell; Cheryl's there, too, though dead
[21:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon sits up, putting a hand to her chest, looking wide eyed and freaked.
[21:20] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole goes to open his mouth and peers around. 1Wow that was crazy.
[21:21] <01Dias`> 6Dias peers around then sighs. 1"Why is it always a snap of the finger and a prison cell? Why not a snap of the finger and a feast beyond my stomachs eyes?"
[21:21] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane releases Raquel and moves over to check and make sure Lemon is ok.
[21:21] <01Kit> <Key> Not Prince of Persia.
06[21:21] * 01Raquel growls under her breath, "...I should have ended her while I had the chance..."
[21:21] <01Dias`> 6Dias looks at X now. 1"You going to be alright?"
[21:21] <01Kit> 6Chii moves to the front of the cell and savagely beats into the bars. 1"I want to see him! I want to rip his heart out!"
[21:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* X is quiet, crossing her arms, saying nothing more.
[21:21] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> No offense you two morons, but being like this isn't going to do much good for us. SO chill the fuck out, alright?
[21:22] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> ... we are closer to the crystal now. 6* She mumbles.
[21:22] <01Kit> 6Chii ignores Cole completely. Key frowns, pouting in a corner about being ignored.
[21:22] <01Dias`> 6Dias let's out a huff of air and he moves around the cell, eyeing it.
[21:22] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon quietly kneels by Cheryl, still looking out of it
[21:22] <01@DeathStar> <Voice> It seems you all have hit a bit of bad luck
[21:22] <01Dias`> <Dias> We need to make sure we can preserve her body.
[21:23] <01Dias`> 6He pauses as he hears the voice, his eyes looking for it
[21:23] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane frowns slightly and rubs his temple.
[21:23] <01Kit> 6Chii screams in rage, then heaves, panting as her irises keep unfocusing, glancing fervently for the voice. 1"..."
[21:23] <01@DeathStar> 6* A powerful being steps in front of their cell, leaning in; though he looks like nothing like a certain Cartel agent, he does seem to have some ... similiar arrogance
[21:23] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Yeah that helps. 6He sighs and glances towards the voice.
[21:24] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Hey I know yo-Wait, no I don't. Hi.
[21:24] <01Dias`> 6Dias fingers wiggle slightly at the power he's feeling off the guy and he studies him. 1"You could say that."
[21:24] <01@DeathStar> <Man> So you are the 'warriors' who attacked Lenneth and made Freya herself go down to Midgar to deal with? Well, well.
[21:25] <01Kit> <Key> Key. Key. Low. Key.
[21:25] <01Kit> <Key> Keep low key.
[21:25] <01Dias`> <Dias> We have a tendency to make an entrance
[21:25] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole moves over to pat Key's shoulder. 1It's okay Key.
[21:25] <01@DeathStar> <Man> Odin was certainly right to worry about you.
[21:25] <01Dias`> <Dias> What do you mean by worry?
[21:25] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Is that so? 6He finally speaks up?
06[21:26] * 01Raquel mutters, "...I should have ripped her soul from her godly body..."
[21:26] <01@Xanatos> NRP: -?
[21:26] <01Kit> <Chii> He's dead." 6She eyes the new one, as if he's next.
[21:26] <01Dias`> <Dias> Raquel, they would've killed us right there and then we wouldn't be here anymore.
[21:26] <01@DeathStar> <Man> My dear delusional child, you could ot have ripped Lenneth's soul from her body. She would have simply destroyed you and been reborn
[21:26] <01Kit> 6Key gets up and walks over, smacking Raquel across the head like X does Dias.
[21:26] <01@DeathStar> <Man> And this fellow is right - they'd have killed the rest of your friends afterwards.
[21:26] <01@DeathStar> <Man> They really only want the blonde.
[21:27] <01Dias`> <Dias> And what about us then?
[21:27] <01Kit> <Key> Other fake goddess not cruel. Quit being mean!
[21:27] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Yeah, we got that, but she's our boss and our friend and all that. So how do we get her back?
[21:27] <01@DeathStar> <Man> It wil depend. Lenneth might argue your case and let you be her warriors, to spare your lives.
[21:27] <01@DeathStar> 6* The man leans in. "You want to get her back, do you?"
[21:27] <01Dias`> <Dias> I'm my own warrior. 6He crosses his arms. 1"And yeah we do."
[21:27] <01Kit> <Chii> She's my wife, you son of a bitch. What do you think?
[21:28] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> No, I just said it because I like to hear myself talk. Come'on man, keep up with me!
[21:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* John leans in to whisper to Chii. "You're suppose to butter up people wh ocan get us out."
[21:28] <01Kit> <Chii> He's not interested in it. His soul is different.
[21:28] <01@DeathStar> <Man> There may be ... a few ways to do it.
[21:28] <01Kit> <Chii> See? Agenda.
[21:28] <01Dias`> <Dias> And I suppose you'll tell us if you we do something for you.
[21:28] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Well we don't have much options you know.
[21:28] <01@DeathStar> <Man> Yes.
[21:29] <01Dias`> <Dias> Alright, you can have her. 6He points at Chii. 1"Just becareful, she's feisty.
[21:29] <01Kit> 6Chii narrows her eyes at him. 1"You're tainted. You're almost like me."
[21:29] <01@DeathStar> <Man> Do we have a deal, then? You will do me a favor and I will let you all out of here to save your 'wife'.
[21:30] <01Kit> 6Chii smashes her hand into the bar. 1"Don't be coy about it!"
[21:30] <01Dias`> 6Dias glances at Kane to see what he thinks. 1"It's our only option"
[21:30] <01Kit> <Key> Don't like.
[21:30] <01@DeathStar> <X> I don't trust this man
[21:30] <01Kit> 6Key shifts a bit. 1"Like other fake goddess more."
[21:30] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> ...perhaps. But he said nothing about actually helping us save Cheryl. And we have already been shown that we cannot win against them. It would be futile.
[21:31] <01@DeathStar> <Man> You could always leave here - if saving your friend is too difficult
[21:31] <01Dias`> <Dias> Well I plan on saving Cheryl.
[21:31] <01Kit> 6Chii slams her other fist into the bar when he says that.
[21:31] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Ah, very intelligent of you.
[21:32] <01@DeathStar> <Man> Do we have a deal then, firey one? 6* He asks Chii directly
[21:32] <01Dias`> <Dias> You want to leave her behind, that's your choice.
[21:32] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> ... 6* She looks between Dias and Kane quietly
[21:32] <01Dias`> <Dias> Thing is, that Lenneth chick won't give us waht we want. He atleast gives us a chance to get it.
[21:32] <01Kit> <Chii> If you doublecross me like your tone suggests you will, no one can save you.
[21:33] <01@DeathStar> <Man> Very well. What I want you to do for me is simple - I want you to kill Odin.
[21:33] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> You cannot be certain, the fact is you have already made your assumption and no matter what I saw will change you rmind.
[21:33] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Chii already wants too, so we'll just let her out and chill while she takes care of it.
[21:33] <01Dias`> 6Dias glances at the man. 1"Kill Odin huh?"
[21:33] <01Kit> <Chii> That's fine with me.
[21:33] <01@DeathStar> <Man> Yes. It benefits you just the same, too. Afterwards, I will tell you how to free your wife from Lenneth's grasp.
[21:34] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> My vote is no. I want nothing more than to save Cheryl. But I simply do not trust you. 6He tells the man.
[21:34] <01@DeathStar> <Man> You have no choice, really - you won't make it around Asgard without my help.
[21:34] <01Kit> <Chii> I don't care about the vote. I'm doing it. You can stay here and beg the dove-woman.
[21:35] <01@DeathStar> <Man> Good. I have two weapons that can injure Odin. The girl who wants to eat Lenneth's soul, come closer. 6* He waggles his finger
[21:35] <01Dias`> 6Dias shifts his hands to rest behind the back of his head.
[21:35] <01Kit> <Chii> You'll make the pigeon a fine warrior, Kane. Think your enemies to death." 6She moves over to his orientation.
[21:35] <01@DeathStar> <X> IF we do this, we can also free Lilith
[21:35] <01Dias`> <Dias> It's very possible, X.
[21:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* The man seems to indicate Raquel as well
[21:36] <01Kit> <Key> Lily, but not Lily.
[21:36] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> She didn't seem like she wanted saved. Just throwing that out there.
[21:36] <01@DeathStar> <X> Brainwashed.
[21:36] <01Kit> <Key> ..." 6She peers at X, then away.
[21:36] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> I don't think so X. I'm sorry.
06[21:36] * 01Raquel tenses at the idea of saving Lilith... having a feeling that wouldn't go as planned. She steps forward though, since this man seems to be talking to her. Even if she didn't want Lenneth's soul. She was just ready to kill her to get Cheryl back.
[21:37] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane sits there quietly to watch everyone.
[21:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* The man shifts out a short sword between the two; it divides in two, one spirital, a literal godslayer, moving to RAquel and vanishing, becoming part of her spiritual weaponary, the solid blade placed in Chii's hand
[21:37] <01Kit> <Chii> ...What the hell is this? I have enough weapons.
[21:37] <01Dias`> <Dias> How is that you have something that can kill this Odin guy but you haven't used it yourself?
[21:37] <01@DeathStar> <Man> With this weapon, you two will be able to kill Odin. And...to help you move about Asgard undetected. 6* He holds out an amulet to Chii.
[21:38] <01@DeathStar> <Man> I'm sure if you think about it hard enough, you will come to a conclusion.
[21:38] <01Kit> 6Chii roughly snatches it with her other hand, still eyeing the blade.
[21:38] <01Kit> <Chii> Simple. He's too weak.
[21:38] <01@DeathStar> 6* The man steps back and waves a hand; the bars vanish as if by magic, and the man turns to leave. "Odin will be in his palace."
[21:38] <01Dias`> <Dias> That or Odin expects him to.
[21:38] <01Kit> <Chii> Still too weak.
[21:39] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> It isn't as fun for him to do it himself. 6He notes, sitting back.
06[21:39] * 01Raquel turns to eye the others uncertainly. She's not sure what she thinks of all this.
[21:39] <01Dias`> <Dias> There's also this. If he's too weak, and I can tell you he's definetly stronger then us. Where's that put you Chii?
[21:39] <01@DeathStar> <John> Well, we can always escape now, if we want to. 6* He eyes their jump device.
[21:39] <01Kit> <Chii> Uncaring and willing to go to greater lengths.
[21:39] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I do not plan on going anywhere.
[21:40] <01Dias`> 6Dias glances to John. 1"I say we go as far as we can."
[21:40] <01Raquel> "They still have Cheryl... and Lillith. And... the crystal."
[21:40] <01@DeathStar> <John> Should we split up - some of us go after the crystal?
[21:40] <01Kit> 6Chii puts the amulet on and starts after the 'man.' 1"Go wherever you want. John."
[21:40] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Crytal time. 6He gives a thumbs up to John.
[21:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* X follows Chii; Lemon does as well, carrying Cheryl
[21:41] <01Dias`> 6Dias moves with X
[21:41] <01@DeathStar> 6* John rubs the back of his head, then follows Chii
[21:42] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> I guess we're all going? 6He turns and moves after John.
06[21:42] * 01Raquel heads after Chii, trying to keep from muttering
[21:42] <01Kit> <Chii> Of course, all successful assassinations have an entourage.
[21:42] <01@DeathStar> <John> We have no idea where the crystal is at, really
[21:43] <01Dias`> <Dias> Chii as sound as it of an idea for you to do this by yourself. I think you're going to need us all to survive
[21:43] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane makes a face and pushes himself to his feet and moves after them.
[21:43] <01Kit> <Chii> He's not going to give me Cheryl back.
[21:43] <01@DeathStar> <John> Hey, welcome to the party, Binary.
[21:43] <01Kit> 6Chii shrugs. 1"So frankly, I don't care."
[21:44] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I would hate if you died when I could have made a difference.
[21:44] <01Raquel> "...with how he spoke, it might not be possible without both halves of the blade."
[21:44] <01@DeathStar> 6* As they get outside into the realm of Asgard, the realm of the gods, they'd see the man is gone; in the distance is a large structure
[21:44] <01Kit> <Chii> Odin's in charge, but if I'm sure he'd die if I took this whole place down.
[21:44] <01Dias`> 6Dias eyes the large structure, studying it the best he can
[21:45] <01@DeathStar> <Familiar Voice> Oh Thank God.
[21:45] <01Kit> 6Chii pauses, making a face as she turns.
[21:45] <01Dias`> <Dias> ...6He pauses as he hears the familiar voice. His feet shifting
[21:45] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks relieved, running up - she looks much more spiritual than her body counterpart.
[21:45] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole slides into a karate stance, but pauses. 1Oh hey boss. Looking good.
[21:46] <01Dias`> <Dias> ...Cheryl?
[21:46] <01Kit> 6Chii twitches, letting out a breath. 1"..."
[21:46] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> That Valkyrie bitch wouldn't say what would happen to you all - they actually let you out, or are you breaking out?
[21:46] <01Kit> <Chii> Something like both.
[21:46] <01Dias`> <Dias> If we told you the bars vanished would you believe it?
[21:46] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> No.
[21:47] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> You really don't want to know, then.
[21:47] <01Dias`> <Dias> Then magic. 6He wiggles his fingesr
06[21:47] * 01Raquel pauses, "...he's actually not lying OR exagerating."
[21:47] <01Kit> <Chii> I agreed to kill Odin. Except as these geniuses point out, I probably can't.
[21:47] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks relieved to see Cheryl, running over to lean against her, unable to hug her with holding...Cheryl. Cheryl eyes her body
[21:47] <01Kit> <Chii> So I've decided to destroy this place. Asgard, he called it?
[21:47] <01Dias`> <Dias> Hop into your body.
[21:47] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> I can give you a good push if it'll help.
[21:47] <01Dias`> 6Dias moves to shoves Cheryl into her body
[21:48] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She looks unnerved, then eyes Chii. "You plan to destroy this entire place? Isn't that over---" 6* Se's shoved against her body
[21:48] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She eyes Dias slowly
06[21:48] * 01Raquel facepalms
[21:48] <01Dias`> <Dias> Cole, maybe we needa running start.
[21:48] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Oh god. I'm turning into Dias. 6He makes a face and glances to John. 1Just slap me from now on.
[21:48] <01Kit> <Chii> Over--what? Overreacting!?" 6She snarls.
[21:48] <01@DeathStar> 6* JOhn is waaaaay over the way
[21:48] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> No, I was going to say overkill.
[21:48] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and sighs.
[21:49] <01Kit> <Chii> If I can't take out the chief, take out the village and the idiot burns in it.
[21:49] <01Dias`> 6Dias sighs and rubs his head. 1"Maybe we can have Raq put the soul back?
[21:49] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> If the crystal is here, we can't go blowing up everything.
[21:49] <01@DeathStar> <X> It might alert Lenneth we're free if we tried
[21:49] <01Kit> <Chii> Cherry, you're dead! How the fuck can you care about the crystal?
[21:49] <01Dias`> <Dias> Good point.
[21:49] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I still have a fucking mission to accomplish. Beat Warren. Save Ben.
[21:49] <01Kit> <Chii> You're dead.
[21:50] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cheryl smacks Chii hard. "Doesn't keep me from doing that, does it?"
[21:50] <01Kit> <Chii> You can't leave this reality, probably. Hence why I'm going to destroy Asgard, not the crystal. There's still a world below." 6She holds her cheek.
[21:50] <01Dias`> 6Dias whistles at the slap
[21:50] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> We're not taking out an entire place. There's thousands of people here.
[21:50] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Cheryl, you can move freely about this place. Perhaps you should search for the crystal while we work on getting you back into your body.
[21:50] <01Raquel> "...have you met this Odin person, Cheryl?"
[21:51] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I have an idea where it's at, but it's not a place I can entirely freely.,
[21:51] <01Dias`> <Dias> That guarded huh?
[21:51] <01Kit> <Chii> They're all guilty as far as I'm concerned. They all serve this guy without questions or remorse.
[21:51] <01Dias`> <Dias> Different reality, different beliefs.
[21:51] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> No, in some ruins that are trained to see who is worthy of claiming it. Whoever does, well, becomes head hanco
[21:51] <01@DeathStar> *designed to train
[21:51] <01Dias`> 6Dias eyes Cheryl at that. 1"...Oh I god a really weird idea."
[21:51] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> At least that's what I gather. Einharjar aren't allowed to take the rest.
[21:51] <01Dias`> NRP: got
[21:52] <01@DeathStar> *test
[21:52] <01Raquel> "...so we take the test, win the crown, and order you set free?"
[21:52] <01Kit> <Chii> ..." 6She eyes Cheryl.
[21:52] <01Dias`> 6Dias points at Raquel
[21:52] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I guess, if I gathered it right. You plan to find someone to help back you up to take the test?
[21:53] <01Dias`> <Dias> What about that Lennet chick?
[21:53] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Doesn't she hate us and stuff?
[21:53] <01@DeathStar> <X> The one we plan to kill?
[21:53] <01Raquel> "...there's always our mysterious benefactor."
[21:53] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane quietly rubs his chin.
[21:53] <01Dias`> <Dias> Well I bet Cheryl could convince her to give us a chance.
[21:54] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Me? The moment the bitch said I could do whatever I wanted, I, uh..
[21:54] <01Kit> <Chii> Why do we need a backer?
[21:54] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> You punched her didn't you?
[21:54] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> From what I understand, mortals have no chance of finishing the trials. 6* She answers, daftly going 'deaf' to Cole's question
[21:55] <01Dias`> <Dias> Well some of us don't really qualify as mortals.
[21:55] <01Kit> <Chii> Not much of a test of worthiness if everyone dies and/or needs help./
[21:55] <01Raquel> "...they probally doubt a mortal could hurt one of their 'gods', but we had Lenneth on the ropes."
[21:55] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Well I am a reploid, so I'm sure I could.
[21:55] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> From what I gathered, she held back.
[21:55] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> People say she's the softest of the Valkyries.
[21:55] <01Kit> <Chii> Is there any others like her? I don't like her.
[21:56] <01Kit> 6Key sighs in the background.
[21:56] <01Dias`> <Dias> Well it's either we take that test thing or try and kill Odin which while sounds easy, i think will be a problem afterwards. Yak now, the whole everyone trying to kill us for it part
[21:56] <01@DeathStar> 6* John pats Key
[21:56] <01@DeathStar> <X> The mysterious man may protect us after we do it; he did say he'd help us free Cheryl
[21:57] <01Dias`> <Dias> I know a swindler when I see one
[21:57] <01Kit> <Chii> That's why I said 'kill them all' but you didn't like that. And he won't, X, get over it. That's not Lily, either.
[21:57] <01Raquel> "...he was very swindly."
[21:57] <01@DeathStar> <X> ...
03[21:57] * Seraphna (gabby.crei@cpe-98-15-159-1.hvc.res.rr.com) has joined #taw
[21:57] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> If the valkyrie held back, you really think the god of gods would be easy?
03[21:57] * ChanServ sets mode: +o Seraphna
[21:57] <01Dias`> <Dias> Look, we need that crystal. And it's in that place. We have no choice but to go there to get it.
[21:58] <01Kit> <Chii> Maybe he's a half-breed like the silk-tongue freak that freed us.
[21:58] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Direct me to that Valkyrie, I could sway her to help us I bet.
[21:59] <01Kit> <Chii> I don't like her. I'll find someone else.
[21:59] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, from what I understand, only 3 people can take the test. And... well, they say one 1 of the 3 people usually make it out alive.
[21:59] <01@DeathStar> only
[22:00] <01Dias`> <Dias> Has one been a super hero tho?
[22:00] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I didn't get THAT much information, sorry.
[22:00] <01Dias`> <Dias> I'm just saying. We can do it.
[22:00] <01Kit> 6Chii closes her eyes, taking a deep breath, then tries to feel out signatures like the valkyrie, freyja and such.
[22:00] <01Raquel> "Only... three."
[22:00] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Luckily if I die, I can get my brain put in another robot.
[22:00] <01@DeathStar> 6* The only other Valkyrie is hostile and dark and would easily take her soul if she saw her about. No one else seems to be around
[22:01] <01Kit> <Chii> ...I like the one that feels like she'll kill me. At least she's honest.
[22:02] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> So which of us would most likely survive? I doubt that I would, I am not much of a fighter.
[22:02] <01@DeathStar> <X> IF only three of us can take the test, maybe the rest of us should find Odin, just in case
[22:02] <01Dias`> What if the test has brainiac stuff?
[22:02] <01@DeathStar> <John> Ooo, he has a point there, Binary.
[22:03] <01Kit> <Chii> Is Odin a brainiac? He survived, right?
[22:03] <01Kit> <Chii> That would tell you.
[22:03] <01@DeathStar> <John> Now, now, we're assuming he's dumb because you hate him right now
[22:03] <01Kit> <Chii> I'm thinking.
[22:03] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lemon lays Cheryl down, looking worn out from carrying her
[22:04] <01Dias`> <Dias> Well I'm willing to take the test
[22:04] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane hmms. 1It would be best if we could figure out the tests before we choose our people.
[22:04] <01Raquel> "I'd go, but..." *forms the blade in her hand momentarily to look at it, then dismisses it* "...I don't think I'm an option."
[22:04] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Might be why you need someone to back you ; so they can tell you
[22:04] <01Dias`> <Dias> Then let's get Lenneth to back us.
[22:05] <01Kit> <Chii> No.
[22:05] <01@DeathStar> <X> She wants to save her wife, but not enough to work with someone she doesn't like . Cute.
[22:05] <01@DeathStar> 6* X rolls her eyes
[22:05] <01Kit> 6Chii twitches a bit. 1"I was serious about the violent one. I want her."
[22:05] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> You know what Chii, you and Raquel go attack Odin, we'll do the real saving.
06[22:05] * 01Raquel eyes Cole, "...it's a backup plan."
[22:06] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole motions to Cheryl and steps off to the side.
[22:06] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I think Lenneth is that way. 6* She points at a city
[22:06] <01Kit> 6Chii does something unprecedented. She sits, closing her eyes to think.
[22:06] <01Dias`> <Dias> Well I think we easily out vote you Chii. Sorry. 6He eyes the way Cheryl points. 1"Let's get movin
[22:06] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses and gives a thumbs up, moving towards the city. He pauses. 1So uh. You think they'll find us if we don't have the amulet chii has?
[22:06] <01Kit> <Chii> Be my guest." 6She takes the amulet and tosses it to Dias.
[22:06] <01Dias`> 6Dias catches it.
[22:07] <01Dias`> 6Dias looks at Cheryl. 1"What do you want to do about her?" 6He thumbs at Chii
[22:07] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll stay here.
[22:07] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole motions and moves towards the city.
[22:08] <01Dias`> <Dias> And when they come to take her?
06[22:08] * 01Raquel pauses, "...isn't it more important for the sneaky, might have to assassinate someone, group to have the magic cloaking device?"
[22:08] <01@DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then I guess they'll have problems with me.
[22:08] <01Dias`> 6Dias rubs his face. 1"Just don't die." 6He shifts to move after Cole
[22:08] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers at Lemon, kneeling beside her since she set Cheryl down. 1I can carry her for a while.
[22:09] <01@DeathStar> 6* John follows after Dias. X turns to follow Dias as well. Lemon peers up. <Lemon> I will stay here with my mistresses. With her body as well. Do not worry about us."
[22:09] <01Kit> <Chii> I'm not doing an assassination, Raquel. You want the other sword?
[22:09] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane frowns and nods once, moving after the others.
[22:10] <01Kit> 6Chii opens one eye to peer at her. 1"You should go with the others, if anything. I am being stupid. But like I said-- if I go after Odin, then I'll level the place. I think I made it clear I want to try the trial."
[22:10] <01Kit> <Chii> But if I'm going to be 'sponsored,' it should be by someone like me.
[22:10] <01@DeathStar> <Lemon> I'm staying where I wish to be.
[22:10] <01Dias`> <Dias> This is bad to split up. 6He glances at John
[22:10] <01@DeathStar> <John> Yeah.
[22:10] <01Kit> <Chii> The trick is, I'm thinking about how to get her to back me, instead of backstab me.
[22:11] <01Raquel> "...we don't have a choice, if only three people can do the trial."
[22:11] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Let's just hope we don't get our asses kicked.
[22:11] <01Dias`> <Dias> And here I'm usually the brash one who doesn't think.
[22:11] <01@DeathStar> <X> You don't think.
[22:12] <01Dias`> <Dias> I don't huh? 6He looks at X cutely
[22:12] <01@DeathStar> 6* A few people pass the group now and again, but pay them no mind; the amulet obviously working
[22:12] <01Kit> <Chii> It'd be seriously idiotic to just approach her. I know who I should see. Even if I don't want to.
[22:13] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Being a god has its perks, look at that long flowing hair.
[22:13] <01@DeathStar> <X> ... 6* She eyes Cole
[22:13] <01Dias`> <Dias> Well atleast we know this amulet works
[22:13] <01Kit> 6Key seems cheerful again, now that they're going to see the 'one like her.'
[22:14] <01@DeathStar> 6* As they enter the outskirts of the city, they'd find none other than --- Lilith the Einharjar. X freezes
[22:14] <01Dias`> 6Dias frowns slightly and he looks over at X.
[22:14] <01Kit> 6Lilith seems to be drinking sake while guarding-- sort of.
06[22:14] * 01Raquel tenses up as well, frowning
[22:15] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth is probably nearby. The godslayer in Raquel's hand almost seems to vibrate eagerly.
[22:15] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses. 1If we don't move, think she won't notice?
[22:15] <01Dias`> <Dias> Well if this amulets worth anything, we should be fine. 6He looks at X again. 1"Hey."
[22:16] <01@DeathStar> <X> ...
[22:17] <01@DeathStar> <X> How do I make her my Einharjar?
[22:17] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> I think you gotta be a god.
[22:17] <01Kit> 6Lilith doesn't seem to pay them attention, as if not even noticing they're where they stand.
[22:17] <01Dias`> <Dias> No idea. But hey, we pass the test we can take her if it is our Lilith atleast.
[22:17] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane tilts his head. 1Let us try to continue.
[22:17] <01@DeathStar> 6* X begins to approach Lilith slowly
[22:17] <01Dias`> <Dias> X.
06[22:18] * 01Raquel watches X, but doesn't stop her. She very much wants to do the same thing.
[22:18] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes Dias
[22:18] <01Kit> 6Lilith twitches, then squints in X's direction, as if having seen something moving.
[22:18] <01Dias`> <Dias> She won't be going anywhere. We need to focus on getting ot Lenneth. We get to her we can ask her about it
[22:18] <01Kit> <Lilith> Lenneth Valkyrie.
[22:19] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth appears in a flutter of feathers near Lilith. "Yes?"
[22:19] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Heads up. It's our new friend. Well fingers crossed.
06[22:19] * 01Raquel scowls at the appearing Lenneth.
[22:19] <01Kit> 6Lilith shifts back, yawning, then holds out the cup to her. 1"You are anxious. Perhaps you should join me."
[22:19] <01Dias`> 6Dias wiggles his fingers as she appears. 1"How do we want to approach this Kane?"
[22:20] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole walks over to Ls and holds up a hand. 1Hi there.
[22:20] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane goes to open his mouth then scowls.
[22:20] <01Dias`> <Dias> Apparently that works.
[22:20] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth peers down at the cup. "I--" 6* She peers toward Cole, as if not recognize him, but then the illusion is broken. "..."
[22:20] <01Kit> <Lilith> Hm. Did you hear somet-- oh." 6She has her sword drawn and toward Cole's neck in an instant.
[22:20] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Now now. Before you hurt me. We were just hoping we could talk.
[22:20] <01Kit> <Lilith> How dare you approach without notice!
[22:20] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Nice reflexes by the way.
[22:21] <01@DeathStar> <Lenneth> By disgusing your presence? Your intentions seem far from pure.
[22:21] <01Dias`> <Dias> Oh they're pure. Nothing purer that our intentions
[22:21] <01@DeathStar> 6* John eyes Dias, as does Lenneth, deadpanned.
[22:21] <01Kit> <Lilith> Were you not imprisoned!? Summon the Asgard sentries!
[22:21] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Just a safety precaution. Your people don't seem to like us, we just wanted to make sure we could get to you in time.
[22:21] <01Dias`> <Dias> We just want to talk.
[22:22] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane crosses his arms, watching the exchange.
[22:22] <01@DeathStar> <Lenneth> And what could you possiblely have to discuss? I should be informing them of you not being in prison
[22:22] <01Kit> <Lilith> You could have called for Lady Lenneth and then she would have surmised its importance!
[22:22] <01@DeathStar> <X> 'Lady' Lenneth? She's a graverobber.
[22:22] <01Kit> <Lilith> You need not speak to ruffians, Lady Lenneth.
[22:22] <01Dias`> <Dias> Woh woh woh, let's just all calm down.
[22:23] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Really? 6He glances to Lilith. 1Oh. Sorry about that, but we heard about the things..thing. And we want to enter but the thing is, we need someone to help back us.
[22:23] <01Kit> 6Lilith stares at Cole, then gasps as if taking it for a sexual slander.
[22:23] <01@Xanatos> NRP; trials thing.
[22:23] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth peers at Lilith, almost like one would a trusted friend or advisor, then at Cole, staring with no comphrension. "Perhaps we should go easy on them - they do not seem right in the head.
[22:23] <01Dias`> <Dias> And I suggested Lenneth here because she seems like a real cool person.
[22:23] <01Kit> <Lilith> I will summon the sentries, Lady..." 6She turns to go, as if Lenneth can handle herself.
[22:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* Cypher doots from Cole's pocket, having been hiding this entire itme
[22:24] <01@DeathStar> 6* X watches Lilith leaving Lenneth there, then seems to debate if they could take her
[22:24] <01Dias`> <Dias> The trials. We want to do that trial thing
[22:25] <01@DeathStar> <Lenneth> I know not what you speak of.
[22:25] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> ...seriously? You're not jerking our chain.
[22:25] <01@DeathStar> <John> Maybe we should specify which trial?
[22:25] <01@DeathStar> <John> I bet gods have thousands of trials.
[22:26] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> But we weren't given a name were we? 6He pauses to think.
06[22:26] * 01Raquel very seriously considers stabbing this Lenneth person.
[22:26] <01Dias`> <Dias> Damn't I forgot to ask her which one it was. 6He snaps his finger. 1"Only three people can take it."
[22:26] <01@DeathStar> 6 Lenneth draws a sword, peering toward Raquel, her face hardening
[22:26] <01Dias`> 6Dias eyes her do that and jerks to look at Raquel, eyeing her. 1"Whatever you're doing knock it off Raquel."
[22:26] <01@DeathStar> <John> ... 6* He peers back and forth. It seems Lenneth picked up on Raquel's kiling intent
[22:27] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> You know what, she's not with us. So, you know, do what you gotta do.
[22:27] <01Kit> <Lilith> My Lady..." 6She runs back. 1"I have summoned them. Should we disable them ourselves?"
[22:27] <01@DeathStar> <Lenneth> I believe their intentions are far from pure. It would be best... to do so... 6* She sounds regretful
[22:27] <01Dias`> <Dias> We want to take the test that lets you be head honcho.
06[22:28] * 01Raquel doesn't draw any weapons, "......"
[22:28] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth stares at Dias. "You wish to take the test of Ascension?"
[22:28] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Yes, exactly. That one.
[22:28] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> I hope.
[22:28] <01Kit> <Lilith> Surely, you jest.
[22:28] <01Dias`> <Dias> Is it the one with three people only?
[22:28] <01Dias`> <Dias> One of three survive?
[22:28] <01@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Only three people can take it at one time. Though I have heard only one has taken it before.
[22:28] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> We want to save our friend and we really don't have any other choice. Please, I'm begging you here.
[22:28] <01Dias`> <Dias> Yeah that's the one we want.
[22:29] <01@DeathStar> <Lenneth> You would have no chance of succeeding. It a test that even gods themselves have failed
[22:29] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Is it simply a test of physical endurance or does it require a sound mind as well?
[22:29] <01@DeathStar> <Lenneth> It requires strength, courage, wisdon, and foresight.
[22:29] <01Dias`> <Dias> Then no loss really? Either we die by your hands or we die fromt he test.
[22:29] <01@DeathStar> *wisdom
[22:30] <01Raquel> "...you have deprived our friend of her soul. We want her back. If we need to take this forsaken test of yours, then so be it."
[22:30] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Jeez she just spews bile doesn't she? I used to hug her, but I marked her off the list. Too angry for my taste.
[22:30] <01Dias`> <Dias> But if it comes down to strength and courage. You've looking at someone who just beams it.
[22:30] <01@DeathStar> 6* X eyes Cole slowly.
[22:31] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth peers at Raquel. "And yet I sense on you a weapon that deprives people of far worse. Perhaps you should hold your judgemental tongue for your own deeds?"
[22:31] <01@Xanatos> 6* Cole shakes his head and then glances to Lenneth. 1Please, little angry girl aside, will you help us?
[22:32] <01@DeathStar> <Lenneth> And what would you do if you succeeded in such a trial?
[22:32] <01Kit> <Lilith> Lady!
[22:32] <01Dias`> <Dias> We'd put Cheryl back where she belongs.
[22:32] <01@DeathStar> <Lenneth> And then? What of Asgard?
[22:32] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> What do you mean?
[22:32] <01Dias`> <Dias> It can stay the way it is.
[22:33] <01@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Then the person who solves the trial would remain here?
[22:33] <01Dias`> <Dias> Or you can have it. We're here for Cheryl
[22:33] <01Raquel> "...so... the weapon can do worse. Difference is, I've never used it."
[22:33] <01Raquel> "You took the life of an innocent."
[22:33] <01Kit> 6Key finally pushes to the front.
[22:33] <01Dias`> 6Dias tilts his head slightly. 1"What do you mean?"
[22:33] <01Kit> <Key> Key want know!
[22:33] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth peers at Key slowly
[22:33] <01Kit> 6Lilith narrows her eyes, turning her blade on Key.
[22:33] <01@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Know what, child?
[22:34] <01Kit> <Key> Are we same?
[22:34] <01@DeathStar> <Lenneth> I do not know...
[22:34] <01Kit> <Key> Key false goddess created from Valkyrie project!
[22:34] <01Dias`> <Dias> What if let you rule this place when we beat the trial?
[22:34] <01@DeathStar> <Lenneth> I am unworthy to rule Asgard or it's people.
[22:35] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> I don't think she cares about ruling it, Dias.
[22:35] <01Dias`> <Dias> Then we'll give it back to Odin.
[22:35] <01Kit> <Key> Hrmph. Nice Lady nice. Asgard not nice. Nice Lady make it nice.
[22:35] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth blinks, curious. "You would take power, then hand it over?"
[22:35] <01Dias`> <Dias> That I would
[22:35] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> We don't want it, we just want to save our friend.
[22:36] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth nods, then sheathes the sword. "Then there is no reason for you to take the trial. If you want to free your friend from being my dark warrior, you merely need to end my life."
[22:36] <01Dias`> <Dias> That's now how I roll.
[22:36] <01Kit> 6Lilith tenses.
[22:36] <01Kit> <Key> No want!
[22:36] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Whoa whoa whoa. We didn't say anything about killing.
[22:37] <01@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Another Valkyrie will take my place for a time. It would not be eternal.
[22:37] <01Dias`> <Dias> Sorry, I have no intentions of killing you. I'll stick with the trial method.
[22:37] <01@DeathStar> 6* John rubs teh back of his head, while X eyes Raquel
[22:37] <01@DeathStar> <Lenneth> You would needlessly be endangering your lives with the trial; this would be faster and safer.
06[22:38] * 01Raquel is hesitant, "...are you offering up your life?"
[22:38] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> You took Cheryl because you were doing your job alright, we're not going to kill you because of that, we've all been there.
[22:38] <01Kit> <Key> ...Ah?
[22:38] <01Dias`> <Dias> It's against the superhero handbook. 6He shrugs helplessly
[22:38] <01Kit> <Key> Hai!
[22:38] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Raquel should get that, being a weapon and all. 6He shoots her a look.
[22:39] <01@DeathStar> <John> Hmmm mmmm mmmm.
[22:39] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> It is quite annoying when they go on moral rants. 6He notes simply.
[22:40] <01@DeathStar> <Lenneth> ... I see. The trial you speak of can only be underwent in the morning. You may stay at my humble residence then and decide how many of you will go. Do keep in mind, while sending in three will likely gain you more favorable results, only one will emerge in the end - it is how it always has been
[22:40] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth turns and moves into the city
[22:40] <01Dias`> <Dias> This time'll be different.
06[22:40] * 01Raquel crosses her arms, as she heads after, "...it was only tried once before you said. And anyways. If you're willing to DIE, why don't you just give her back to us?"
[22:41] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> And the others that go, they just die? Or they fail? 6He follows after her.
[22:41] <01Dias`> <Dias> Raquel, let's not anger the women who's going to back us up.
[22:41] <01Kit> <Lilith> My Lady!? The sentries..
[22:41] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane moves forward, peering around at the godly architecture with interest.
[22:41] <01@DeathStar> <Lenneth> I said only one man alone has tried before alone. And I cannot undo the binds of fate - I can only let you cut them if you wish it. As for the sentries, I will speak with them, Lilith - please lead them to my residence
[22:42] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Well let's hope for the not staying dead part then. Thank you Lenneth. 6He goes to hug her but pauses and just bows.
[22:42] <01Kit> <Lilith> L-Lady..." 6She jerks, eyeing the group.
[22:42] <01Dias`> 6Dias nudges Cole. 1"You were so gonna cop a feel weren't you?"
[22:43] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> You kidding? I'm not gonna ruin this.
[22:44] <01@DeathStar> <Lenneth> I do not know what happens to the others - the survivor never speaks of their fates
[22:45] <01@DeathStar> 6* She turns to head her own way to deal wit hsentries; the are led to a simple place hardly suited for a god, but more like a servant.
[22:46] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane peers around. 1Hm. Curious.
[22:46] <01Dias`> 6Dias looks over at Kane. 1"Well I'd say we could try one person but without knowing how strong that one guy is, it'd be risky
[22:47] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Hm? Oh yes, I do not believe I will be participating. I am but a simple human after all.
[22:47] <01Kit> 6Lilith grumbles and scowls from the entry-- more like keeping them in than anyone else out
[22:48] <01Dias`> <Dias> With a super brain.
[22:48] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Well if me and Dias do it, you think we stand a chance of succeeding?
[22:48] <01@DeathStar> <X> Not with your brain power combined
[22:48] <01Dias`> <Dias> X has a point. 6He shrugs helplessly
[22:48] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Hey, I can be smart if I want too.
[22:48] <01@DeathStar> <Cypher> Doot.
[22:48] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> See? Cypher has my back.
[22:48] <01Dias`> <Dias> Oooh. That's right, you got Cypher
[22:48] <01@DeathStar> <Cypher> Doot doot (We are fucked)
[22:48] <01Raquel> "...I wonder if Cypher counts."
[22:49] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> He should.
[22:50] <01Dias`> 6Dias plops down against a wall. 1"So I think we should try and get more info out of Lenneth when she gets back.
[22:51] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> She didnt' seem to know anything else, really.
[22:51] <01@DeathStar> 6* John rubs chin. "I could try to seduce her."
[22:51] <01Dias`> <Dias> Think you can seduce a god?
[22:51] <01@DeathStar> <John> Of course.
[22:51] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> I think we should make that plan B.
[22:51] <01Dias`> <Dias> Wear protection. 6He points at John, a serious look on his face
[22:52] <01Kit> <Lilith> I will kill you.
06[22:52] * 01Raquel sighs, finding some place to sit down with a flop, "...I wonder if they recruit valkyries."
[22:53] <01@DeathStar> <John> We should send Key in, too, for this test. In case we need a save point
[22:53] <01@Xanatos> 6* Kane is off to the side, peering at the wall. 1Lilith. Why is that a Valkyrie has such lowly establishment?
[22:53] <01Kit> <Key> Key already false goddess?
[22:53] <01Dias`> <Dias> We should see if her powers work first
[22:53] <01@DeathStar> <John> If Key wins, become super goddess.
[22:53] <01Kit> <Lilith> What do you mean by 'lowly?'
[22:54] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> In comparison to the other locations it does not quiet live up to those standards. It is not by any means a bad place to live, but I am just curious about the difference.
[22:54] <01Dias`> <Dias> It's a good idea but I'd hate to have her go in when her save point doesn't work out here.
[22:54] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Well I'm all for going but since apparently me and Dias are both strong and dumb maybe I should sit out and let him go?
[22:54] <01Kit> <Lilith> Are you saying she lives somewhere 'beneath' others?
[22:54] <01@DeathStar> <John> You might need her brains to win, anyway. She's downloaded a lot of info from Lemon
[22:54] <01@DeathStar> <John> What if you need her trivia?
[22:55] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I'm saying that this is hardly godlike.
[22:55] <01Dias`> <Dias> I don't know whats in her head. 6He shrugs
[22:55] <01@DeathStar> <John> Exactly. I send her in my steed, being too old for such trials.
[22:55] <01Kit> <Lilith> You just want to slander Lady Lenneth.
[22:55] <01Dias`> <Dias> Oh I think Cole and I for sure.
[22:56] <01Kit> 6Lilith eyes Kane. 1"She is a goddess, but also a servant. It is all she believes she needs."
[22:56] <01Dias`> <Dias> Since Cole can teleport if he needs to.
[22:56] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> I see. Thank you. If I wante dto slander her, I would just outright do it. Do not mistake me for someone that prances about such topics.
[22:57] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> All I'm saying is that me and Dias are almost the same in the fact we punch first and ask questions later. Maybe I should sit out and let someone else go.
[22:57] <01Raquel> "...someone is quick to take offense."
[22:58] <01@DeathStar> <X> Indeed. I like it.
[22:58] <01Kit> <Lilith> Watch your tongue, or I will remove it.
[22:58] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> You will forgive me, but I believe that would make your master quite displeased.
[22:59] <01Kit> <Lilith> You are rather 'uppity' for one begging favors.
[22:59] <01Dias`> <Dias> Well what do you think they mean by foresight?
[22:59] <01@DeathStar> <John> Well, if Dias and Key go, we'd should either send Raquel or Kane as third
[22:59] <01@DeathStar> <John> Raquel being all ghostly might could see things you couldn't
[22:59] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> Hmm. Interesting use of that word. 6He rubs his chin, pondering.
[23:00] <01Dias`> <Dias> That's an excellent point. 6He nods at that
[23:00] <01Kit> <Lilith> ...She is late." 6She sighs, peering out of the house longingly.
[23:00] <01Raquel> "I..." *pauses, pondering. Then just nods*
[23:01] <01Kit> 6Key eyes everyone discussing teams and then reaches back, she holds out a beer-- a cold one. 1"Dias?"
[23:01] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth arrives, looking like she's been hasseled by someone - probably by that Einherjar who wants in her pants, or Lezard
[23:01] <01@Xanatos> <Kane> If I am voted as someone that will be going, I'll do so. 6He takes a seat, peering towards Lenneth.
[23:01] <01@Xanatos> <Cole> Hey, welcome back. 6He says with a smile to Lenneth.
[23:01] <01Dias`> <Dias> I'm good. 6He waves his hand
[23:02] <01Kit> <Lilith> Are you alright..? Did someone give you difficulty?
[23:02] <01@DeathStar> <Lenneth> Lucien wished to discuss of trival matters again.
[23:02] <01@DeathStar> <Lenneth> I am sorry I do not have much to offer you, but feel free to make yourselves comfortable here.
[23:02] <01Kit> <Lilith> True love is hardly trivial, my Lady.
[23:03] <01Dias`> <Dias> So what else can you tell us about this trial?
[23:04] <01@DeathStar> 6* Lenneth sighs at that, as if having heard that one, too, before. She peers at Dias. "There is nothing more that I can tell you that what I have. Only that you may wish you had not undergone it when the time comes."
[23:04] <01@DeathStar> -TO BE CONCLUDED-
