<DeathStar> 4.12.2863
<DeathStar> With tension rising, Jean's witch hunt continuing for the killer of the main, Jean herself has withdrawn. Future Jean struggles to keep Vixen in the timeline, but even with a bubble protection she is fully faded through. Garald and Umi discuss matters while Jean attempts to ask Jean about her dreams. Truth pushes and finds Jean dismissing her form her rooms stating that no one's bothered to try asking before and it's already too late, Truth, confused since she's been asking since she arrived in the Empire, leaves upset. Garald asks for Umi's hand in marriage and she accepts.
<DeathStar> As Truth leaves, she senses something and rushes for Aurica's room as assassins strike, attempting to kill Aurica. They target her and her research, and Truth and Brony arrive to fight them off. Aurica is injured and poisoned, rushed to Rachael for healing, while the others attempt to save what research they can while Leruste and Parita attempt to persue the surviving assassins. The assassins turn out to be demons, but their interest in Aurica's research and Aurica herself are highly suspect.
<DeathStar> In saving Aurica, the pregnancy is forced and Aurica gives birth to a baby boy, Benjamin. Truth manages to recover some of the research before the Templars take over the room.
<DeathStar> 4.14.2863
<DeathStar> Aurica, awake, goes over her notes recovered with the others. What they were able to tell, was this: After Bishop Gyro rallied Sinai, Crim and Phoen moved there to live. Phoen, who was dying like Lenneth was after losing Gartareh's Blessing, performed a ritual to tie herself to the leylines to extend her life. At this point, Sinai was practicing the freedom of religions. However, after the plague wiped out most of humanity not tied to other species, the Alrhylites rose and were able to slowly overtake the other religions. They did this under the influence of Bishop Canaan.
<DeathStar> The Phoen-Spear family split off from the Spear family in Di'Neer when Crim died during the plague. The Spear-Phoen clan became the Spear-Autumn clan during the rise of the Empire. At this time, Autumn was known to marry Canaan, and as best as the group can guess it, Phoen became Autumn for political reasons. Aurica suspects Phoen was playing some sort of long term game, but whatever it is seems lost, what they do know is the noble families that married in are noted to bear a crest with a Shield and Spear on it. The true bloodline is marked with red hair and blonde streaks. These truebloods traditionally seem to make the position of High Bishop. There are at least 12 cases where another house took the title, but they are scattered between them.
<DeathStar> Lin Erica Spear is an interesting case, being from one of those lesser houses, but also having the hair that marks her a true blood. Rachael notes there's something familiar about Lin's name, but she can't quite put her foot on what. Truth concentrates on that as they go on. They mark down four houses which also carry the blood, survivors in what seems like a quiet game to thin the bloodline. The group agrees to look into these houses, Truth taking the tasks, Gemane, Parita and Leruste joining her in the efforts. Gemane finally reveals that she is on the trail of the Tribunal.
<DeathStar> Jean and Umi discuss Umi's wedding, and Jean expresses her feelings of loneliness and abandonment by her team, at least recognizing that a few have stood with her. Umi also reveals her worry, that she is giving up her independance for Garald and is unable to really imagine herself doing so. Jean considers her words and stays close to Umi.
<DeathStar> 4.19.2863
<DeathStar> The wedding has been tactically delayed by Jean, while the group has checked 3 of the 4 houses and so far, the lead is a bust. Future Jean and Umi watch as Vixen fades away completely, taking her essence into themselves so that if they fix the timeline, they can bring their daughter back, as they do, reality bends and shifts for a moment, changing so that no one else remembers Vixen ever even existing. It's this, most probably, that the others felt in Gemet. Puggy begins to fade, time is short, a change is needed.
<DeathStar> 4.20.2863
<DeathStar> The group in Gemet packs up, Kaelan packing some mirrors blessed by Ama to reconnect the kingdoms. With everyone packed up, people part ways and say goodbye for now. The ship takes into the sky and they head for the Empire. As they do so, the Leviathan comes down from the skies and persues them. They attempt to outrace it, but a fight is inevitable. Fate hurls Narok into the Leviathan's eye and it goes crashing into the ocean, Asha, thinking sharply, brings the ship up to avoid the crashing waves and escapes damage, the Leviathan defeated much quicker than anyone expected. Narok gets solo EXPs as he dies from horrible crushing depths.
<DeathStar> In the Death Realm, Lenneth brings Narok back using his one death card. He gets all the loot from Leviathan as well and asks to be sent back to Gemet for his son's wedding.
<DeathStar> The group, not knowing Narok's fate but hoping for the best, carries on to the Empire.
<DeathStar> 4.21.2863
<DeathStar> The group arrives in Jeanole, and find they are strangely inspected to be verified as really being themselves, unaware of the whole Lilica incident. They group is then led to the palace where they inform Lin Erica that for once, they are not there for favors, but specifically to see Jean. They are given rooms to wait and meet up with the other members of the team while Jean is informed. During this, Future Jean buys a love potion, hoping to shift Garald off Umi so Jean and Umi can get together.
<DeathStar> At dinner, the group is waiting for Jean, who stalls to make a late appearance. They begin to talk and discuss things. When Jean arrives, Kaelan informs her about how they fixed the Demon Realm issue, the news of the Templars still fighting surprises them, and Kaelan presents them with the information about Jubei to assure them that a parlay can be made. While this carries on, Future Umi slips the love potion into a dish for Garald and has it sent out to him. While they begin to report what happened to the Mage War, Garald eats and his eyes fall on Truth. He interrupts everything by moving over to her and declaring his love for the loyal follower who always seems to play second fiddle. He dumps Umi, saying he can't cage her free spirit or marry her when he has this love on his heart.
<DeathStar> Truth, scarred and bewildered, simply acts stunned even as Umi tears across the table to slap Truth and scream at her for always being the one to get in Umi's way. Truth, even more upset, shrinks back and Rachael takes to her for comfort. Umi moves out and Jean follows, the two talk and Umi requests that Jean treat Garald good and give the two the wedding she and Garald were going to have if Truth accepts the love. Umi says she needs time to herself to sort herself out, and leaves. Jean lets her go, then snarls and pulls up a barricade, locking herself away from everyone else. The marks turn a new dark color and shift in shape a little as she withdraws from everyone and into her own darkness.
<DeathStar> 4.23.2863
<DeathStar> The next morning, Jean is withdrawn and quiet again and buried in her work. Truth wakes to find Garald hanging outside Rachael's room waiting for her, and attempts to ask her out on a date. She asks for time to think things over and he walks off,dejected, but determined to win her heart. Truth, unable to bring herself to crush the man, and torn with how Umi's heart was broken, seems to be in a pickle.

And Now...

<DeathStar> 4.24.2863
<DeathStar> Location: The Empire, Jeanole Area (intro to follow)
* Seraphna has joined #Session440
<DeathStar> 6* Jean, having vanished the next morning to go to the wedding via the mirror they brought her, attends it and seems relaxed with her entrouage, though upon returning the mirror cracks noticeablely, rendering it unusable. However, she spends the rest of the evening going about her duties as if nothing had happened. (Cont)
<DeathStar> 6* However, while Empress Jean moves about doing her work, and Kaelan has figured out that Lin Erica shares a similar name with Jean's true name before becoming Jean, Lily Erica, Umi has gotten further, and further away. On the 24th, as Umi wanders with poor Libel following, she gapes as someone who looks similiar to Jean walks up to her
<DeathStar> 6* Future Jean kneels beside Umi and stares at her, hard, then grabs the water and food from Libel's sack, Libel studying the Future version of Jean being there
<DeathStar> ( #Session440-Palace )
<Chain> 6*Umi at first doesnt register someone then looks up and reels
<Chain> <Umi> Jean?
<DeathStar> 6* She nods. She doesn't explain why she's back in her original body
<DeathStar> <F. Jean> We need to speak, my love
<Chain> 6*Umi makes a slight face
<Chain> <Umi> so you really abandoned them all for me?
<Chain> 6*she rises a bit, finally feeling how tired she is
<DeathStar> <F. Jean> That is a long story. I am possiblelyh breaking the world more than it has already been broken, possiblely ensuring you and I will never be together, yet one child of ours is gone already and another child is nearly gone
<DeathStar> <F. Jean> It is time we spoke
<DeathStar> 6* She pulls Umi to her lap and makes Umi drink and Libel sits nearby, listening
<Chain> 6*Umi blinks and squirms a bit
<Chain> <Umi> what do you mean by chidren
<DeathStar> <F. Jean> I am from the future. A future that no longer exists due to my coming back with a future you. By now you were already heavily pregnant if I recall
<DeathStar> <F. Jean> That shows how much things have changed. And why our kids are finally vanishing
<Chain> 6*Umi pales a bit
<DeathStar> <F. Jean> *She rolls the food in her hands* Will you listen to me?
<Chain> 6*Umi is quiet for a bit but nods
<DeathStar> <F. Jean> As you recall, being with the group was too much, their thoughts flooding me, the neediness of some, and your needs. And the war of all the gods wanting me, I had never had a chance to learn who I was.
<DeathStar> <F. Jean> So I had left for a time, to find out who was Jean
<DeathStar> <F. Jean> Of course, like in this timeline, I was caught by the templars to be brought and become Empress.
<DeathStar> <F. Jean> So I could not find you again like I intended.
<DeathStar> <F. Jean> However, you all soon caught up with me in port, instead of getting pulled in various directions like you did this time - some of you did, like it was preordained, that could not be stopped.
<DeathStar> <F. Jean> And you and I were reunited and we talked and during my journey I had worked out my issues and we decided to work on matters. Granted, the Empress thing posed a new set of problems
<DeathStar> <F. Jean> And while the world fell into hell from attacks by the Tribunal and other things, I had you as my wife and the others - and since the palace provided a resting place and they were treated like gods almost, and I could send them out to head armies, you and I were alone most ofr the time.
<DeathStar> <F. Jean> And we grew close. Close enough that we decided to have babies, despite what was happening to me
<DeathStar> <F. Jean> A link that could not be broken
<DeathStar> <F. Jean> From there, something went wrong. I know it is tied up in me, the Angel, and that you and I broughht the kids back to stop me. And that it is vital you and I ended up together. But you and Jean were scattered to the winds. And you ended up with Garald, her friends not by her side, and this Jean is so steeped in darkness this present is worse than mine
<DeathStar> 6* Jean pulls out a painting of the pups, Vixen missing sadly, and Puggy fading
<Chain> 6*Umi looks at them, touching her belly unconsciously whining
<DeathStar> <F. Jean> I know it is not possible to say, "Love this person, have their children". You and I would have rebelled as much as Jean and you would look askewed. But this can be your future.
<DeathStar> 6* She rubs the painting
<DeathStar> <F. Jean> I don't know what darkness deals with the Angel, and why I changed bodies and why we came back - the last few memories are kept from me - the time travel took them
<DeathStar> <F. Jean> Maybe we sinned coming. But I would do anything for those children
<DeathStar> <f. Jean> And for my Umi
<Chain> 6*Umi looks at her
<Chain> <Umi> but Garald doesnt want me, he wants Truth
<Chain> 6*she growls slightly
<DeathStar> <F. Jean> That was our doing. *She confesses*
<DeathStar> 6* Libel jerks and moves to hide behind a sand dune
<Chain> 6*Umi jerks and looks at her
<DeathStar> <F. Jean> The wedding was increasing the disruptions and fading the children faster. *She says, her face pained but stoically at the same time - she regrets it, but it's clear she'd do it again*
<DeathStar> <F. Jean> Jean would have supported your marriage, or the idea of it, because she loved you
<Chain> <Umi>...was Truth....intended
<DeathStar> <F. Jean> No. He could have fallen in love with anyone
<Chain> 6*Umi looks away from her to the ground
<Chain> <Umi> Garald...is a very good man
<Chain> <Umi> no one sweeter or kinder
<Chain> 6*Umi starts to weep
<DeathStar> 6* Jean hugs Umi
<Chain> <Umi> do you know, do understand how happy he made me, I never had to ever question who he loved, who he thought of
<DeathStar> F. Jean> I am sorry...
<Chain> 6*Umi looks at her still crying
<DeathStar> <F. Jean> *seems to be pained to see Umi crying, and rubs her like she was comforting Umi* I wish we never went back and things had gone as intended, so your heart did not suffer.
<DeathStar> <F. Jean> So my Umi's heart did not suffer
<DeathStar> <F. Jean> I would do anything to heal you both
<DeathStar> F. Jean> If you truly want him back... I would reverse the potion and let your timeline go as it was meant to be. *she sighs*
<Chain> <Umi>it wouldnt mean anything if you did that
<Chain> <Umi> even if it was fixed
<Chain> <Umi> I'd never be able to trust him, I know now its the potion, but I'd be afraid
<DeathStar> 6* F. Jean strokes Umi's head
<DeathStar> <F. Jean> I see.
<Chain> <Umi> and I could never go back there, and see Truth's face without wanting to murder her
<Chain> <Umi>...and you'd keep losing your kids
<Chain> <Umi> and I imagine...that me as well
<DeathStar> 6* F. Jean rises and pets Umi and lifts her up to her feet and rubs her along her face
<DeathStar> <F. Jean> You have spoken from your heart. I have heard what I needed
<DeathStar> 6* She rubs her along her face, lulling Umi
<Chain> <Umi> and...I had my own doubts for the wedding
<DeathStar> 6* She nods, listening
<Chain> <Umi> I just....wish it was like before....with me...and Jean before it got complicated
<Chain> 6*Umi closes her eyes getting tired
<Chain> <Umi> why did she have to think of her when we kissed
<DeathStar> <F. Jean> I will let you in on a secret, Umi
<Chain> 6*Umi opens her eyes a little
<DeathStar> <F. Jean> You are the one she loved. Truth was a close friend, and due to the bonds with others, yes they stayed into her thoughts, usually if they forced it, or had strong feeloings themselves, not due to herself. It was one reason I went on that journey - she went on that journeyh. To learn herself, be far away from all marked. So control and keep them out. So even among them, she block what was necessary
<DeathStar> *to
<Chain> 6*Umi closes her eyes and whines a little, ears flat
<Chain> <Umi> what do I do now
<DeathStar> <F. Jean> What your heart tells you. No more, no less. I can make you forget all this, and you can move on
<DeathStar> 6* She keeps her rubbing along her ears and face, lulling, as if prepared to give Umi that
<Chain> 6*Umi shakes her head
<Chain> <Umi> no
<DeathStar> <F. Jean> Then you need to listen to what you want inside your heart. And follow that. If it says to move on, move on. If it says to go back, go back; because time is short. For all of us
<DeathStar> 6* She kisses Umi's forehead
<DeathStar> 6* She rises and pats Libel
<DeathStar> <F. Jean> Watch over her
<Chain> 6*Umi pauses then moves to F.Jean
<Chain> <Umi> that painting
<DeathStar> <F. Jean> Yes?
<Chain> <Umi> let me have it? please?
<DeathStar> 6* She nods and hands it to Umi
<Chain> 6*Umi takes it and nods
<Chain> <Umi> thank you
<DeathStar> 6* F. Jean then shifts her mechanical wings and lifts up and wind bullets away, her three tails wagging. "Thank you."
<Chain> 6*Umi looks at Libel
<DeathStar> <Libel> Um, snack?
<DeathStar> *She nibbles on a steak*
<Chain> <Umi> yes please
<DeathStar> 6* Libel hands Umi a juicy steak with a bone
<Chain> 6*Umi inhales it
<DeathStar> 6* Libel blinks in awe, handing her another
<DeathStar> 6* The sand moles, watching Umi, their messiah, whisper
<Chain> <Umi> I need to speak to Jean, but I cant have it be in that palace...
<DeathStar> <Libel> But she is the goddess of all the wortld and rules in the palace?
<DeathStar> <Libel> How will you get her out?
<Chain> <Umi> I know one way...
<Chain> 6*Umi turns to Libel
<DeathStar> <Libel> Mrr?
<Chain> <Umi> I just dont know if you'd be ok doing it
<DeathStar> <Libel> W-What's that?
<DeathStar> 6* She leans back, worriedly
<Chain> 6*Umi turns into dog form
<Chain> <Umi> how far are we from a town
<DeathStar> <Libel> You walked all day and night, so um....2 days
<Chain> <Umi> tell her you lost sight of me
<Chain> <Umi> I'll take care of the rest
<DeathStar> 6* Libel whines but nods, turning to eye how far back she has to go
<Chain> <Umi>...or would you rather I carry you home
<DeathStar> <Libel> N-No. I can do it. *She eyes the two weeks worth of food, already down to 4 days8
<DeathStar> <Libel> I'll just ration
<DeathStar> 6* Libel turns into a wolf with the pack engulfing her and trots along
<Chain> 6*Umi heads further on, and makes sure to eye any farms along the way
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Demon Realm
<DeathStar> 6* Juliet crashes the ship near the Abyss Fortress, skidding along
<DeathStar> <Juliet> My, that was certainly fun!
<DeathStar> 6* Zegretta looks ill, glaring at letting Juliet fly
<DeathStar> 6* Angel and Lin are in a pile
<Aqua-> *James holds his chest
<DeathStar> 6* The demons in the fortress city stare the skid half mile juliet made
<Aqua-> James> Sorry!
<DeathStar> 6* Angel quickly gets off the airship and Lin follows.
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> We are here, Jubei
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> You can go home now
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> Yay!
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei makes a face
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> Solid ground...
<DeathStar> 6* Zegretta hugs Jubei
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> Be safe
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> I will, but the ship just crashed
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> So... unless you use the mirrors I purchased from Ama, you're stuck here
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> Oh it's fine
<DeathStar> 6* Zegretta moves over and starts it back up spinning
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei blinks
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> I see!
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei hands Zegretta a rectangular box
<DeathStar> 6* She takes it, blinking
<DeathStar> 6* Juliet leans on James
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> One of the mirrors.
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> I will take the other one here-- Amatsun and Di'Neer will have passage here and vice versa.
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> I already have one
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei yoinks it back quickly
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> Okay!! They're really expensive!" 6She laughs nervously.
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> Really?
<DeathStar> *she blinks*
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei leers.
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> You're her niece. I bet she didn't charge you..
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> I also don't intend to do more with it than normal?
<DeathStar> 6* Zegretta sneers back
<DeathStar> 6* She turns back
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei puffs her cheeks.
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> Let us head to Anora and drop off Juliet before she kill us!
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> Well... I'll see you later, little highness." 6She smiles, using her pet name
<DeathStar> 6* Juliet looks offended as they lift off; demons meanwhile has surrounded Jubei, Lin, and Angel
<DeathStar> <Angel> Uh....
<DeathStar> 6* Zegretta waves
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> Good luck- try not to get raped and sold into slavery
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> That's not nice.
<Nyaomi> 6She waves, heaving for Asmo tower with Angel and Lin
<DeathStar> 6* The demons 'escort' the three, many eyeing their tits
<DeathStar> 6* Juliet pouts at James not supporting her suggestion
<DeathStar> 6* Sasha looks around
<DeathStar> 6* Zegretta flies this time, heading away
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei giggles to herself.
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> I have good news for Deus. Relations are started with Amatsun and Di'Neer, we have use of the mirrors for official reasons and I got the Empress to call off aggressions with the Templars if we do in kind.
<Nyaomi> 5Jubei grins impishly. 1"Not bad for a first venture out, huh?"
<DeathStar> 6* The ogre demons lift them up and carry them off for stuff
<DeathStar> 6* Angel makes a protest sound
<DeathStar> 6* Juliet keeps huffing
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> H-Hey!
* Jackieness has joined #Session440
<Aqua-> James> We should go to the Empire.
<DeathStar> 6* Juliet beams and hugs JAmes. Zegretta jerks
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> You are so whipped
<Aqua-> James> We need to keep up with other rulers.
<Aqua-> *James rubs Juliet's back
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> Alright. I'll send this on auto-pilot to Mercy

Session Ident: #Session440-Palace
<DeathStar> 6* Garald sits outside Truth's place with more fruit, while Empress Jean moves about, musing
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica tries meanwhile to find out about the Erica line without being suspicious, but it seems all records are gone or sealed.
<Seraphna> * Truth peeks out, planning to get to Jean, flustered. Kaelan meanwhile, moves up to Jean as she moves about. "Hey."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael meanwhile looks a little withdrawn
<kalonZombie> 6*LEr rubs her back
<DeathStar> 6* Jean glances at Kaelan. "Kaelan. I saw your wife and family."
<DeathStar> 6* Her tone is strange, flat.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael looks at Leruste and smiles. "I hear Aurica is planning to go after the last noble family later. Will you go be going?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Are they well?" *she inquires, looking over her with a controlled tone, but clearly she has something going on*
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Probably. You?
<Seraphna> * Truth creeps out slowly.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I should stay with Nephilim - Parita can go
<DeathStar> <Garald> *He rises and offers Truth the bounty*
<DeathStar> <Garald> My lady Truth
<DeathStar> <Jean> They seemed well - they were going to give Jubei a ride to her realm in their airship
<Seraphna> Truth> "G-Garald... hello."
<kalonZombie> 6*Ler nods "Alright. I'll miss you both.
<Nyaomi> 6Ajan brings Rachael warmed milk for Nephilim
<Seraphna> * Kaelan nods, she looks at Jean. "I know you've been closing yourself off, and I know you've been hurt... and part of that is my fault, Jean. I want to try and help make things right."
<Seraphna> * Truth shyly takes the fruit.
<DeathStar> <Garald> Is there anyhthing I can do for you?
<DeathStar> <Jean> You come out of nowhere after a year and want to make things right? *her voice sounds almost hurt, if not a little scathing*
<Seraphna> Truth> "Let's... take a walk?"
<DeathStar> 6* Garald walks along
<DeathStar> <Jean> I do not know if I can trust you anymore, Kaelan.
<DeathStar> <Jean> I can sense the other Jean on you
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I know it's hard Jean... but... when have I ever not gone out of my way to try and do the right thing? What we were out doing... it saved lives. It saved people that might otherwise no longer be around. Zegretta might be dead if not for it." *she rubs her head* "I'm sorry that it hurt you, but you know I try to look out for you. I've been with you since the beginning."
<DeathStar> <Jean> And you could not have come here for help for your family? Help I tried to offer you time and again with my agents?
<DeathStar> <Jean> I have all the help I need now
<DeathStar> 6* Jean moves on
<Seraphna> * Kaelan moves with her, never one to give up that easily. "We took that help some of those times, we came here to help you now. That's why we're here. Not for help or favors, for you Jean."
<DeathStar> <Jean> If you want, we can establish a friendship treaty between our kingdoms, if you want to help me.
<DeathStar> <Jean> So the Empire can do what it needs to do
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica sets down her stuff, disgusted and gets geared up to find the last minoir noble house that might know more about the Spears.
<DeathStar> 6* Parita lazing about in her room
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Mercy plans to uphold the one established."
<DeathStar> 6 *rachael kisses Leruste
<Seraphna> Truth> <Let me know when all are ready.>
<kalonZombie> 6*Ler kisses back
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> I love you.
<Seraphna> Truth> "So... h-how are you settled in here in the Empire...?"
<DeathStar> <Jean> I have made new ones. I wish to speak with Juliet myself and have her sign it and we speak
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Sure! Can... I help with you personally though? I don't need the mark to tell you're sad and hurt."
<DeathStar> 6* Cersei cleans her blade and Fate layhs on her bed
<DeathStar> <Garald> I am well enough, though each moment without you is a moment I am... lonely
<DeathStar> 6* He offers her his arm
<DeathStar> <Garalad> Have you rethought a date?
<Seraphna> Truth> "I may consider it... I need to discuss it with the Angel first though. I... don't feel right without her blessing."
<DeathStar> 6* He nods in understanding and offers her a fruit ring
<Seraphna> Truth> "You are a very nice man... I do not want her ire on us, considering Umi." *she blinks at it*
<DeathStar> <Garald> I hope to see you again. *He kisses her hand and moves off*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I love you too, silly
<DeathStar> 6* She smiles, relaxing and hugs him
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Bring back good news
<Seraphna> Truth> "T-Take care... Garald."
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica and Parita move to slip out of the castle
<DeathStar> *palace
<DeathStar> <Jean> I will be fine. I just need time and work to focus on
<Seraphna> * Truth peers in Jean's direction, though sensing Kaelan there, she moves to join the others.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean eyes Lin Erica coming
<kalonZombie> 6*He nods, moving over to Nephilim "I love you too, girl. 6*He hands her a coin "This is daddy's lucky coin. You keep it safe for me until I get back, okay?
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods
<DeathStar> <Jean> Speaking of which
<DeathStar> 6* She adjusts her armor, which is like F. Jean's and moves off
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "More affairs of state?"
<kalonZombie> 6*He brushes Neph's hair a bit and heads off to join the party
<Seraphna> * Lia moves with the others, taking Maka as she moves along. Kaelan sighs and messes with her own hair, heading for Rachael's rooms.
<DeathStar> <Lin Erica> Yes.
<DeathStar> 6* She tells Kaelan.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan nods to her, peering her over.
<DeathStar> 6* Lin Erica leads Jean along toward the Empress Room
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "You take good care of her, for that I'm thankful... as I wasn't here to."
<DeathStar> 6* Maka walks along, peering about; the scene follows the group as they move along the streets
<DeathStar> 6* They find themselves moving along the noble quarter, large buildings that look fantastic but close together, clearly the lesser nob les
<Seraphna> * Truth falls in with them, still flustered, Lia walks along quietly, peering about the streets as they move.
<DeathStar> 6* Aurical ooks around
<DeathStar> 6* Parita spins a staff in her hand, eyes still a look crazd
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> You alright sis?
<DeathStar> <Parita> Right as rain. Don't like tight spaces. 6* She notes as they get into tighter corridorers, especially for noble areas, and soon find the noble house, a large buildings cramed between tow more
<Seraphna> Truth> *feeds Parita a feeling of openness and freedom*
<Nyaomi> 6Auna follows along behind Jean
<DeathStar> 6* Parita doesn't seem to notice, looking for ambushes
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica motions at Leruste to knock
<kalonZombie> 6*Ler moves up and knocks "shave and a haircut" style
<Seraphna> * Lia peers around quietly still, letting her focus drift a bit to keep her precog senses open.
<DeathStar> 6* The door opens and a person who looks a little like Carly and Seth, perhaps an descendant, with a red haired man that looks a little descendant of Phoen and Crimson
<DeathStar> <Woman> What? *She asks, the one that looks C/S*
<Seraphna> * Truth blinks a bit. "You are..."
<DeathStar> <Parita> Hunh
<Seraphna> Truth> "You are decended through the Canaan-Autumn line?"
<DeathStar> <Aurica> You know them?
<DeathStar> <Man> *looks shifty eyed* Who's asking?
<Seraphna> Truth> "The female resembles Seth and Carly, the male resembles Crim and Phoen."
<DeathStar> 6* He reaches for a hidden spear
<Seraphna> Truth> "I am Truth."
<DeathStar> 6* The female eyes Truth and her nails sharpen a little
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Uhhh... we are.
<DeathStar> 6* then pauses, eyeing Truth
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Hi, I'm Leruste.
<DeathStar> <Woman> Truth Truth and Leruste Leruste?
<DeathStar> <Woman> No shit?
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> There is no shit to be had here.
<Seraphna> Truth> "Not shit, Truth."
<Seraphna> Lia> "And I'm Lia Mason."
<DeathStar> <Woman> Who?
<DeathStar> 6* Parita leans on her staff
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Sia Mason's great times whatever grandaughter.
<Seraphna> Lia> "Mew."
<DeathStar> <Woman> No poop
<DeathStar> 6* She moves and sits on a chair and eyes them, her eyes like slits
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Seriously, we're so constipated here that there's negative poops.
<DeathStar> 6* The man introduces himself. "I am Crim."
<Seraphna> Truth> "We are doing research into the lineage of your line... Crim as in your name, or do you affect the title Crimson like Arthur used to?"
<DeathStar> 6* The woman waves her hand. "I'm Selthe."
<DeathStar> <Crim> Crim is my name
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Nice name. Strong. Hardy. Dependable.
<Seraphna> * Truth nods. "May we come in? Perhaps we should not speak in public."
<DeathStar> <Crim> Come on in.
<DeathStar> 6* He nods
<DeathStar> 6* They keep sitting in their chairs inside. Parita walks in
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica and Maka walk in and Aurica sits down casually, petting Brony
<Seraphna> * Truth and Lia walk in.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ler walks in
<DeathStar> <Selthe> So what do you want with us?
<DeathStar> 6* Crim cleans his spear
<Seraphna> Truth> "We are researching the family line, trying to find out why Phoen became Autumn and what Lin Erica's lineage is."
<DeathStar> 6* The two eye each other
<DeathStar> <Aurica> That really isn't that important, I'm more curious about other things... but whatever
<Seraphna> Truth> "Then ask your questions, Aurica, you have been key on looking into things."
<DeathStar> <Selthe> I guess if you are who you say you are.... according to what documents we know Phoen picked Autumn to hide her identity and because Autumn was known to fight beside the goddess and was looked up well by the Alhyrites
<DeathStar> <Crim> We have no idea about the other; the Ericas married into the family ages ago
<DeathStar> 6* Aurica nods, peering at Truth for more questions she may have
<Seraphna> Truth> "What did happen to Seth and Carly? Nothing we found ever said where they went."
<DeathStar> <Crim> Died of old age
<DeathStar> <Selthe> It was said Seth find a way to die
<DeathStar> <Selthe> So he could live a life with Carly
<DeathStar> *found
<DeathStar> <Crim> Granted they lived a long while anyway due to their extended live
<DeathStar> s
<Seraphna> * Truth nods. "At least they had a family it seems... okay, I think that's all I can think of right now."
<DeathStar> <Aurica> *leans forward* Tell me
<DeathStar> <Aurica> Can the high priestesses be trusted?
<DeathStar> <Crim> *Shrugs* I do not know. Honestly. From what our ancestor, Phoen, thought, Bishop Canaan seemed more than a fanatic who worshipped the Angel
<DeathStar> <Selthe> Don't get us wrong, most of those who serve the Angel believe she is a goddess of all of Tareh, b ut she believed he was using them
<DeathStar> <Crim> It's why she married him and had kids with him - so our families were intermixed. We're probably the only house that would tell you this instead of you know do something about it, even if you are followers
<DeathStar> 6* Parita glances at Leruste
<DeathStar> <Selthe> Then after the Ericas were married in, the High Priestesses all came out of them
<Seraphna> *Truth taps her chin. "You were very guarded when we came here..."
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> So the High Priestess posistion is... hereditary?
<DeathStar> <Selthe> No
<DeathStar> <Selthe> It is chosen from the best of the priestesses - you have to have the best skills and knowlesdge
<Seraphna> Truth> "Just they are producing many strong priestesses. It seems that signs of the true bloodline help with that as well right?"
<DeathStar> <Crim> But typically those who have the best chances are from those who can learn and get the best skills are from certain families - and lately the Spear family hasn't really produced any but the Spear-Erica has
<Seraphna> <Lia> "It's a legacy thing rather than a hereditary thing, the legacy families keep secrets and skills that help keep them in power."
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> I see now.
<DeathStar> <Aurica> Tell me - what do they want the Angel to do?
<DeathStar> <Crim> It is hard to say - they want her to take over the world, and bring it peace, at least that is the matra. But under the last Erica rulership things have seemed strange. I cannot say how.
<DeathStar> <Selthe> Phoen said the Bishop and High Priestess keep all their secrets locked away in two places
<DeathStar> <Selthe> The Empress Room and the High Priestess Chamber
<DeathStar> <Crim> But you all cannot enter those - even with your status as Followers
<Seraphna> <Truth> I have always found that strange.
<DeathStar> <Selthe> Anything else?
<Seraphna> Lia> "I know you said they married in later down the line, but where is the Erica family from?"
<DeathStar> <Crim> We told you, we don't know
<DeathStar> <Parita> Well, one thing is for certain, we need to get into those rooms, I think
<DeathStar> -END-
