Session Ident: #Session444
<Seraphna> 4.26-27.2863
<Seraphna> Dark Jean stands before the heroes and demands for everyone to bow before her. A number of the group members are confused, seeing behavior that is absolutely unlike Jean Al'rhyl. However, as they try to reason with her, it seems impossible, and Juliet and Zegretta decide it's time for them to leave, not liking this situation. With a thought and a wave of her hand, Dark Jean sends them back
<Seraphna> to their kingdoms, and as an afterthought, sends James to Juliet. The others, seeing the power, and knowing they need to bide their time, begin to kneel. Dark Jean 'blesses' them with Dark Marks and then vanishes to begin to correct the world with her power.
<Seraphna> Umi arrives and when she learns what happened, insists on going up the palace tower saying she's going to bring Jean down, probably meaning back down to earth. The zealous Templars however, raise arms and block her way. The group tries to talk her down, while Yuel dismisses her Dark Mark, deciding she doesn't want it. The others seem unable, and the group can sense Jean moving around Tareh
<Seraphna> fixing things. Kaelan remarks this is odd, because up until that moment, a Mark as far away as Jean was should be impossible to track due to the interference.
<Seraphna> Umi is about to charge her way in when Rachael hears something, asking her to wait.
<Seraphna> On the airship, Cersei eyes her mark and attempts to remove it, it seems to fade back into the true mark for a moment before vanishing. Lia tries to reason out how they're getting rid of it, but is unable to pick up on the quality that Cersei has that makes her able to resist. She suggests they link up as a group and try to purge it, but Moira dismisses it for the moment. They begin moving
<Seraphna> down to the palace on the airship, when they find the others on the other side of a window.
<Seraphna> Seeing the airship, Rachael leaps through the glass and onto the ship and the others begin following. Templars actually attempt to attack them and the ship, Lia forming a barrier to protect them as Asha takes them back into the sky. Once free, they again begin to work and removing the dark marks together. Moira has a brilliant idea of linking people together to try it, while Lia stares,
<Seraphna> and tries it with Cersei.
<Seraphna> Linking with Cersei does the trick where it didn't work with others, and from there, they group is able to chain break one another until the Marks are cleared of the Dark influence. They are left to consider what to do next with Jean-Lily among them. They consider and decide that she must be the real Jean, Wyrd and Truth establishing their bonds with her again. However, just as this is
<Seraphna> done, Dark Jean appears on the ship and chides them for removing her marks. As she does, Parita tells her to fuck off and gets flung a mile out into the sky.
<Seraphna> Rica without a thought drops off the ship and takes Sprite to go after Parita, Sal with her, when Jean hurls them into a whirlwind. She holds Parita's life hostage for them to bow and ask forgiveness, but the group doesn't budge. It's Umi who moves forward and attempts to calm Dark Jean down. The effort nearly fails when Butler tries to take a cheap shot at Jean, but the group, and Umi,
<Seraphna> manage to dissuade that error. As they talk, Mimi sets Parita, Rica, and Sal on the ground and begins to head up after the others.
<Seraphna> Lia, sensing the approaching Anima E, sends Mimi a mental signal to hold back and Umi is able to begin to break the Dark Jean's shell. This causes the entire group to wonder which is the real Jean when a blast from the palace blasts at the ship and begins sending it down. This nearly sends Dark Jean into a rage but the others convince her that they didn't do it, and work together to land
<Seraphna> the ship.
<Seraphna> Once landed, helped by Dark Jean and Kaelan in Anima T, the group moves into the palace which is start to shake and collapse. They group surmises that the Tribunal member they lost track of, Lilica, must be using an Anima inside to attack. Lia uses her sense again and points her out down below, and the group races through the palace. They save a group of servants and guards from being
<Seraphna> crushed before entering the depths blow.
<Seraphna> There, they find Lilica in Anima C, she uses a strange bubble of cloth to capture Dark Jean inside it, and the others rush into the fight. Mimi, Lia and Kaelan fight in Animas E, L and T respectively and are given a real challenge when C splits into two and combines into a Super Anima C. The fight continues with the party attacking and holding off C while Dark Jean struggles in her bonds.
<Seraphna> A charging Anime C and T go crashing through a wall and Leruste and Moira get caught in the rubble. They have to sneak into Anima C and battle Lilica while Kaelan, who's Anima is dismissed by a powerful hit, uses her immunity to Lightning Mana to do her own nasty work with Earth Magik and then uses Ice Magik to attack the core.
<Seraphna> Anima C is dismissed and Kaelan stops the four from being crushed with Earth Magik as the others work to unbury them. While all this occurs, others work to try and free Dark Jean. The cloth seems to keep the corruption trapped inside with Dark Jean as it eats her alive, forcing her to regenerate and use up more and more of it, using different elements, they find the cloth is strong as steel
<Seraphna> and slowly adapts to the element used to cut it. Rachael divvies out the Orbs, the Emblems, and other items to the group and Kaelan uses Libel to create a faux Rune Blade by imbuing her with every element via spells. The group then strikes as one with the help of Ama and the others gods, brought in via a mirror.
<Seraphna> Together, they not only destroy the cloth, but annihilate the corruption around Jean, and Bel who was sucked into the trap during the efforts. the corruption is destroyed. Lilica, who was pulled from the rubble is reabsorbed into Gemane, and in a very similar move, right after, Dark Jean rushes at Lily Erica-Jean and they meld, becoming one, then splitting apart into Jean and Lin Erica
<Seraphna> respectively.

And Now...

<Seraphna> 5.2.2863
<Seraphna> With the palace still under repairs, James, Juliet and Zegretta are back and the group meets to discuss things. The Future Jean suggests they look into the God Barrier, as Gartareh put it up and it weakens the gods. Jean confirmed with Future Jean that she previously said it isn't keeping anything dangerous out. Kaelan offers her suspicions that despite that thought, the fact that Future
<Seraphna> Jean's story closely aligned the barrier being destroyed with the Eclipse that attacked Tareh way too close for comfort. They seem to agree to investigating.
<Seraphna> Jean informed Kaelan that someone matching Rose's description has shown up, later than they throught, but she's been checking into the researchers who look over the God Barrier. Kaelan agrees to go find her and see what she needs, and Zegretta agrees to go with her.

<DeathStar> 5.3.2863
<DeathStar> Location: Gemet, Ama's Palace (intro to follow)
<DeathStar> 6* The last week the world seems relatively in peace, and nothing exciting has happened - yet. Tsukiyomi looks healthier and Lenneth has been spending more time in the palace again, playing with Chae. Fi'anna has been training under Nilla with her symboiote dark suit, the only remaining 'corruption' signs, and Aso Erevis studies her, having returned back from the incidents in Jeanole a few days ago
<DeathStar> 6* Zuzu relaxes, a little tiredly, glancing at various treaties in affect for Ama - the Jeanole being upheld by the new Jean from the future, Zegretta's. Juliet wanting to establish one with them due to her relationship with Hoko, it seems, and James' father being there.
<DeathStar> 6* Fi'anna's clothing grabs fruit from the table to eat.
<DeathStar> 6* Zuzu moves to Ama and sets the treaties down from Juliet and lets her know the Empire under the new Jean won't change the Friendship Treaty they have
<Nyaomi> 6Mugi spies on Tsukiyomi curiously after their 'positive' interaction
<kalonZombie> 6*Leon nods to Zuzu in thanks
<Chain> 6*Ama nods as well and looks them over while Nilla also starts training Bridgette
<DeathStar> <Zun> *walks in, adjusting his glasses* Also, it seems the Demon Realm's leader has left it up to you if you want her to come to establish a treaty or not. She seemed rather ... eh about it.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *sits on a high up vantage point to get some air as she ponders how things seem to have changed over recent days*
<DeathStar> 6* He sets the note down for Ama. o"If you wanht her to come, she will."
<Chain> <Ama>...what
<DeathStar> 6* Bridgette nods all seriously, learning
<Chain> <Ama> are we refering to "
<DeathStar> <Zun> That thing Jubei was talking about, establishing treaties between us. The Demon Realm Queen said she would come negotiate details with you whenever you wanted, but her tone indicated she was fine with waiting however long
<DeathStar> <Zuzu> Oh yeah, Jubei is the Demon Realm Queen's wife
<Chain> <Ama> well I did say I would meet with her wife that did not come
<DeathStar> <Zun> I think she wants you to set a date
<Chain> <Ama> Leon
<Chain> <Ama> bring me the calendar
<DeathStar> <Zun> I imagine leaving the demon realm for long periods could be bad for a new queen
<kalonZombie> 6*Leon pulls one out from nearby and hands it to Ama
<Chain> 6*Ama looks it over
<Chain> <Ama> just before harvest time
<Chain> 6*Ama marks it
<Nyaomi> <Mugi> Time to stabilize first?
<DeathStar> 6* Zun nods and goes to write it down and toss it through the mirror that links to Jubei's
<Chain> 6*Ama gives Mugi a look
<Chain> <Ama> Zuzu
<DeathStar> 6* Zuzu is writing something in a notebook, and looks up
<DeathStar> <Zuzu> Yes?
<Chain> <Ama> remove your wife
<DeathStar> 6* Zuzu glances at Mugi and shifts to lift her up out of the meeting room
<DeathStar> <Zuzu> Naughty Mugi.
<kalonZombie> 6*Leon blinks
<DeathStar> 6* Aso Erevis watches Mugi be taken out and muses, rubbing his chin, his hand on Ama's ass
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Chain> <Ama> I need to stay in my own realm at least for a while, being gone so often looks like I dont care to be in my own contry
<DeathStar> Location: Jeanole
<DeathStar> 6* Elder Jean muses on the throne, going over the reports of the God Barrier, wondering if she'll have to bring Ama and the other gods in on this since this will deal with them eventually. Lily Erica is with her, in her high priestess outfit, and Cersei stands to one side, wearing an Enforcer leader outfit. Juliet and Zegretta stand there, having returned via the mirrors
<DeathStar> <Elder Jean> Before we make a move, or bother others, we definitely do need to learn more about the God Barrier, or even how to reach it. The best way to investigate it will be to reach it and study the ancient technology that likely runs it, Before Judgement technology
<DeathStar> <Elder Jean> And it'll have to be in the glittering
<DeathStar> 6* She studies the locations of the way gates that used to exist before Tareh shifted
<Seraphna> * Kaelan would be with Zegretta, she nods a little. Lia grins a bit.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean stands near her, head tilted and Rachael rocks Nephilim
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> So another trip to the Glittering... fun.
<Seraphna> Lia> "Before Judgement tech is my speciality." *she says softly*
<Chain> 6*Elder Umi plays with her children on her lap
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "We'd need to prepare for that, I imagine it's as lacking in air now as it was back then."
<DeathStar> <Juliet> The Glittering. Stories of that and the red planet in the sky have been told to me since I was a child hood
<DeathStar> *my
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> Not a fun place, by any means
<Jackieness> <Moira> *leans against one wall, arms crossed* "I remember when we traveled into the depths of the red planet to face Gartareh."
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> I heard that the ghost of a male warrior with red hair and Autumn roams the lands
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "It wasn't made any more fun with Autumn trying to kill us. The Anima were useful though in getting there."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "...McTreggor?"
<DeathStar> <Gemane> *she shifts her tail back and forth*
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> Yeah, him
<DeathStar> *Mimi makes a face, eyeing Kaelan*
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> McTreggor's STILL alive?
<DeathStar> 6* Yuel stays near Moira*
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Geez.
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> How would I know, no one has been to the Glittering
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> It's ghost stories told to children
<DeathStar> <Mimi> Do not be stupid and insult my ancestor.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "He was Contracted to Autumn. His family line was the price of betrayal."
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Always a bit of truth in stories.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "KAelan, McTreggor sacrificed himself to help us get to the red planet."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "He was honorable though. His last act was to show us how to work together to stop Gartareh."
<DeathStar> 6* The mirror glows at that moment and Jubei comes flying out, followed by an inugami who seems to snerk, wearing see through silk robes
<DeathStar> 6* Both Jeans turn, tensing, forming angel beams of like, the swords glowing
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Jubers?"
<Seraphna> * Lia blinks and looks at her Aegis.
<DeathStar> 6* A moment later Angel and Lin trot through with Rachael Silas, and Rachael studies her. Then a demon that looks like Asmodeus, only female, walks through, her serpent queen wings fluttering and bulbous tail swishing. Deus glancing around
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Deus."
<DeathStar> <Deus> I am here to deal with the leader of this land so the templars are brought under heel
<DeathStar> 6* The Elder Jean raises a brow and Jean leans in and whispers
<DeathStar> <Elder Jean> I see.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "That's Deus talk for wanting to discuss a treaty."
<DeathStar> 6* Deus eyes Juliet and Zegretta. "Oh, I am lucky; two other leaders. I can makle this quick and be back into my realm fast and not have to leave again until harvest."
<DeathStar> 6* Deus moves for Jean's meeting room. The Elder Jean watches her go, eyebrows raised
<DeathStar> <Cersei> She is... certainly something.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan supresses a chuckle.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "And I'll leave you to that."
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> Huh
<DeathStar> <Juliet> I--
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Well, to keep the Cadre in line you need to be a bit of a forceful personality."
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> Hello!
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Heya.
<DeathStar> <Elder Jean> I guess I will see to this. You all keep looking for Rose and into a way to the barrier - the Sky People will likely be the way
<DeathStar> 6* She rises and moves in first to talk one on one with Deus. Zegretta shifts her tail
<Chain> 6*Elder Umi follows
<Seraphna> * Kaelan peers to Zegretta. "Want to come with me again while I search? Who knows how long she'll take with each person."
<DeathStar> 6* Lin looks at them all with her vampric eyes and Seraphim studies her back; Sasha gulps. Angel looks to be a Lilin now
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei blinks, rubbing her head and follows Elder jean
<DeathStar> 6* Her bulbous tail swishing and bat wings and horns on her head
<DeathStar> 6 *Deus waves Jubei back
<DeathStar> <Deus> I can handle this - play with your toys
<Seraphna> * Lia waves at Jubei as she's sent back.
<DeathStar> 6* She waves at the others and enters the room
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei makes a face
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> Well, looks like I'm still an amusing lacky
<DeathStar> <Lin> It hink she was being kind
<Seraphna> Lia> "You've always been amusing."
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> And here I'm working hard to make sure there's no misunderstandings..
<DeathStar> <Lin> Letting you be with your old friends
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei grins at Lin.
<Jackieness> <Asha> *leans against Seraphim* "Well, if there is going to be talk of Sky People, then I'd best see to my ship then."
<DeathStar> 6* Lin glances at the others, her white hair and tail swishing
<Seraphna> * Lia walks up and pokes Jubei's nose.
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> I know, but it's still a burden to know that talks are happening between the least friendly factions thus far.
<DeathStar> <Seraphim> *nods*
<DeathStar> 6 *Cersei moves off. "I best calm the templars here."
<DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile, outside, NAG ships are arriving - fewer than that left due to the magik vanishing slowly from the world. Only the strongest who still have it, while it's here, are coming home to the tower."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan nods, moving to grab her cloak, intending to go look for Rose again, as she said.
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei squints and picks Lia up with a tendril extension from the end of her foxyip tail
<Seraphna> * Lia squeaks.
<DeathStar> 6 *Zegretta moves with Kaelan
<DeathStar> <Zegretta> Lets find her. While Jubei rapes Lia it seems
<DeathStar> 6* Maka watches Jubei slowly
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> What is it, shorty? You're poking me.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Sure."
<DeathStar> 6* Angel sits down quietly
<kalonZombie> 6*Ler nods, moving to go
<Jackieness> <Asha> *pulls herself away from Seaphim and heads out to check on thre airship*
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei deadpans at Zegretta, following her while carrying Lia
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael follows along outside. Mimi turns to walk with Moira
<Seraphna> * Lia wriggles and flails. "I-I'm still your mage!"
<DeathStar> <Mimi> Have you decided what you will do after the God Barrier is dealt with and this last threat is identified?
<DeathStar> 6* Zegretta walks along outside with those going to find Rose
<Jackieness> <Moira> *turns and starts walking as she is joined by Mimi* "No, I have not. An age of peace would be.... new."
<Seraphna> * Truth sneaks into the group heading out.
<DeathStar> <Mimi> Yes. It will be. *She nods in agreement*
<DeathStar> <Mimi> It's almost hard to believe
<DeathStar> *garald looks for Truth, but misses her due to her stealth*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I'm not sure what to think."
<Seraphna> * Truth's tail waves at him as she passes.
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei sets Lia down and it recedes, resuming looking primarily like her azuha self with the horned headress
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> So... going to fill me in?
<Seraphna> Lia> "So how is the married life?"
<DeathStar> 6* As they move down the street and along the streets, it's clear people are still repairing from the damages done. The NAG Tower looks like it's being repaired still
<DeathStar> l<Zegretta> We're going to to the glittering and the red planet
<DeathStar> <Mimi> Well, if you want to come back to Anora with us, you can.
<DeathStar> <Yuel> You can always stay here in Jeanole with us
<Seraphna> Lia> "Mmm? Oh, Lin Erica tried stealing Jean's power, big fight, stopped Lilica and got Anima C back. Day saved."
<DeathStar> 6* She chimes up, referring to the NAG and Jean
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I will have to think about things..."
<DeathStar> 6* The inugami follows the group looking
<DeathStar> <Mimi> *nods and squeezes Moira's hand*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "You'd have thought Seth would have told someone what happened up in the glittering." *she says softly, moving along*
<DeathStar> <Mimi> Just follow your heart.
<DeathStar> <Yuel> *she smiles at her*
<DeathStar> 6* As they pass people, they hear rumors about things settling down in Blantress and Badelf under the new leadership and that a Demon Queen showed up there already to sign a treaty*
<Seraphna> Lia> "Been to Blantress already Jubers?"
<DeathStar> 6* Up ahead down the street, a white haired elf is seen, out in the open, at a booth of fruit, eating after she pays
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Seems like Deus gets around.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan blinks and heads over towards her.
<DeathStar> 6* Juliet and Zegretta follow.
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> No.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Excuse me..." *she says gently, in case she's mistaken*
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> I believe that was on her own...
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Maybe first find if there are any vacation spots and take advantage of them."
<DeathStar> <Angel> Deus went with me and Lin while Rua was training her
<DeathStar> <Angel> She said I'd especially want to go
<DeathStar> *Angel looks around*
<Seraphna> Lia> "Are things going well there...?"
<Chain> 6*one is signed in blood with a fluerish
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei squints, still wondering what that was about wanting Angel
<Seraphna> * Kaelan waves to get the elf's attention.
<DeathStar> 6* llAs they get near the elf, Rose looks up
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Rose?"
<DeathStar> <Mimi> >That sounds like a good idea
<DeathStar> *She nods*
<Seraphna> * Kaelan moves over and hugs onto her.
<DeathStar> <Angel> Because
<DeathStar> *She pats Jubei*
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Hey, it's Rose!
<DeathStar> <Rose> Hello everyone. *she nods*
<DeathStar> *she looks like she hasn't aged a day since they last saw her*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Rose... you're alive... I knew... I knew you had to be somewhere in this world."
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Maybe its just pushing the decision down the road... but that's not going to stop me from a full-body massage and a soak in a bathhouse."
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> Angie looking down on me like I'm not queen.. ;A;
<DeathStar> <Mimi> If you want I can give you one
<DeathStar> *She offers, knowing Ruun's techniqe*
<DeathStar> <Angel> Oh, sorry, I thought you wre my wife
<Seraphna> Lia> "I see Juber's still the same old Juber."
<DeathStar> <Rose> *She offers Kaelan a smile* Here I am. Thanks to you all for your help before
<DeathStar> *Rose hugs Kaelan*
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Not a problem.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> We heard you were asking questions about the God Barrier - do you know something about what is going on?
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Not a vacation spot, but I'm not going to turn that down."
<DeathStar> <Rose> *she nods a little* Yes. *She glances around* Perhaps we should go back and talk though.
<DeathStar> 6* Maka studies everyone, then nibbles on a fruit
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "To the palace?"
<DeathStar> *Rose nods*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Conference Room
<DeathStar> 6* Deus leans back, having laid out the details of the treaty: that the Demon Realm will take criminals that want to come for reduced sentences and they can pick what type of labor they want, and once their sentences are done they can decide if they want to keep remaining in their positions for rewards or not. As well as taking their criminals to help reduce prison crowding, they will give goods and buy them, and stop demonic raids for slaves, and free what slaves they have that want to go.
<DeathStar> 6* E. Jean leans back, glancing at the details
<DeathStar> <Deus> Of course, any ordinary citizen that wants to fill our positions, we'll be glad to take them. *she shrugs*
<Chain> 6*Elder Umi looks it over as well, then looks at Jean
<DeathStar> <Jean> <What do you think?>
<DeathStar> 6* Deus waits for them to offer what they want/adjustments
<Chain> <Umi>< How will they keep them safe? I mean surely prisoners of all kinds and races make trouble with eachother...>
<DeathStar> 6* Deus studies the room with her glowing red eyes
<DeathStar> <Jean> How will you keep the criminals that volunteer safe?
<DeathStar> <Deus> I am making massive changes and institional sweeps across my land. My will is the Demon Realm. What I say goes. The Cadre enforces my will. *she considers her words* It is not quite like your realms with different factions trying to get their own works and doing what they want without it being known. The strongest will rules over all and I am that will. I keep all the factions under one guiding force and let them focus on their projects and keep them happy. My father had the right of it, but he did not go far enough and keep all the factions equal, which is what Jubei is showing me and I am trying
<DeathStar> <Deus> This may end up with my throat cut and it going back to the demonic ways of old, but I think it is worth a chance.
<DeathStar> <Deus> I can guarentee them safety, because if a demon abuses a prisoner/criminal, then he will be made an example of
<Chain> <Umi> what kind of punishments can be expected then..
<DeathStar> <Deus> Depending on the severity. There are no more tournaments with the prisoners being used for sport, so no more deaths can be resulted. Labor work will be used, maids, slaves, sex slaves if they want that type of line of work, since the demon realm has needs. *She cups her hands, listing things matter of factly* But if they go too far in pushing their workers to the point of breaking, then they will get the same treatment. If they sexually abuse or hurt their prisoners, then they will see it returned to them. Our realm has an eye for an eye mentality. Until Jubei shows me other means, or unless you wish it in your clause that your prisoners are treated differently.
<DeathStar> <Deus> But if a prisoner is killed, then that demon owner will be kileld
<DeathStar> 6* She states flatly, as if there is no other outcome
<Chain> <Umi> I mean for the ones we sent over...if they get out of line or worse
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods slowly
<DeathStar> <Deus> They won't. Trust me. The prisoners will not have that option
<Chain> 6*Umi looks at Jean, lips thinning slightly
<DeathStar> <Deus> When we are done, your criminals may even be rehibiilated.
<DeathStar> 6 *Deus considers
<DeathStar> <Deus> We are not cruel with our prisoners, or abuse them
<DeathStar> <Deus> But we have a collar that prevents them from lashing out at others, or hurting themselves
<DeathStar> <Deus> They will do their work, whether they like it or not - some may even like the realm and what it has to offer. In the old caste system with slaves that I am trying to get rid of
<DeathStar> <Deus> If a slave earned freedom, many remained with their freedom to start their own way of life
<Chain> <Umi> I suppose..
<DeathStar> 6* Jean leans back, studying Deus
<DeathStar> <Deus> *studies Umi* You are judging us. *she nods* Very well, forget the criminals
<DeathStar> <Deus> AT the least, sign a treaty that we will not attack one another
<DeathStar> <E. Jean> A non-aggression treaty. So the templars will not go after demons anymore. <Deus> Yes. <E. Jean> Why? Do you think I will attack your lands?
<Chain> 6*Umi blinks
<DeathStar> 6* Deus studies her, red eyes like slights. "I want a new era for my people, and that includes them being able to leave their lands without having templars hack them to pieces. Just as I am trying to change things in my realm, I want them to be able to see the world for the first time wthout attacking or being attacked. The treaty is essential.
<DeathStar> *slits
<Chain> <Umi> I am not judging your group, the matter is complex and isnt something so matter of fact
<DeathStar> 6* Deus inclines her head to Umi
<DeathStar> <E. Jean> You will have your non-aggression treaty then.
<Chain> 6*Umi nods as well
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods and Deus stands up
<DeathStar> 6* Deus bows her head and sits again. "I'll wait on the next leader here, if you do not mind."
<DeathStar> <E. Jean> Of course
<DeathStar> 6* She walks back outside with Umi, where the others are returning with Rose
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael waves at them as she comes walking up and Rose looks around thoughtfully
<DeathStar> 6* Mimi stands with Moira, talking quietly
<kalonZombie> 6*Ler smiles, waving as well
<Seraphna> * Lia peers around and pokes at Jubei's back curiously.
<DeathStar> *Angel waves; Jean nods to E. Jean and Umi as they come out.
<DeathStar> 6* Zegretta hugs Kaelan and moves inside to talk to Deus now with Kaelan.
<DeathStar> <E. Jean> Well, that was interesting. Have we learned anything else?
<Seraphna> * Kaelan moves with her, pausing only to give Rose a reassuring hug.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> We found Rose. Hopefully she can tell us something. *she motions*
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6* After Juliet/James and Zegretta/Kaelan talk to Deus, that evening a conference is held with Rose there, who sits at the head of the table. Yuel is gone back to NAG for now.
<DeathStar> <Cersei> What can you tell us about the God Barrier?
<DeathStar> <Rose> *she is quiet, peering at none of them, ears twitching* It was created by Gartareh long ago to supress the powers of Ama and the others inside the Sol system so they would not be as strong, and to lock out their powers and steal the powers within the system and give them out to the others he picked
<DeathStar> <Rose> The barrier extends so far, and only affects those within the field. For example, death and rebirth continues normally outside the barrier. In here, Gartareh was supreme and could stand up against the darkness he feared.
<Seraphna> Lia> "Does it keep anyone out, or just depower and alter those within?"
<DeathStar> <Rose> No, it does not keep anyone out
<DeathStar> <Rose> People outside might not know what is going on inside, but it does not keep them out.
<DeathStar> 6* F. Jean nods slowly, as if confirming something.
<DeathStar> <F. Jean> I thought so. *She murmurs*
<DeathStar> 6* Jean, hugging on Umi, having been planning out her wedding, frowns, confused
<DeathStar> 6* F. Jean looks at Lily Erica. "What do you know about the barrier."
<DeathStar> 6* Lily Erica jerks away from Rose, coming out of a day dream
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Weird. A barrier that doesn't keep people out.
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> It's like a river that doesn't take an hour to figure out how to cross.
<DeathStar> <Lily Erica> I ... do not know too much about it. I know that it was in my way to ascension. Lilica indicated as much
<Jackieness> <Moira> "So if it doens't keep them out, where is this darkness that Gartareh feared?"
<Seraphna> Lia> "It's why the term is so confusing for me... in Ancient speak the term 'Field' would have been more appropriate."
<DeathStar> <Jean> That darkness was the Others
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Other what?
<DeathStar> <Jean> *She muses* We saw that in the past
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "The Others were beings that the ancients fought."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "The conflict with them led to the birth of Gartareh."
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Oh right, those guys.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Well, Gartareh is gone and they still havne't shown up."
<DeathStar> <Jean> My theory is Gartareh beat them
<DeathStar> <Jean> He was gone for 2000 years - just like our past selves in the unaltered timeline probably beat both
<DeathStar> *altered
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Which is why he came back..."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean nods
<DeathStar> <Lily Erica> He came back to his power base, yes. I do not know what else could be out there, but if it's not the darkness, it could cross the barrier anyway, so taking it down to ascend made sense
<DeathStar> 6* Both Jeans nod
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Hopefully he wasn't just coming back to refuel. But yes... with a 2000 year absence, that makes sense."
<DeathStar> <Lily Erica> Lilica supported me on the Tribunal and got me Anima to help out in case I needed to go up to the Glittering if the transfer failed, or if Jean refused
<DeathStar> 6* Rose studies each of them
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Though it makes me wonder what Gartareh was planning to do once he had won..."
<DeathStar> <F. Jean> Do the way stones exist anymore?
<DeathStar> <Lily Erica> None on TAreh - unless these Sky People have them
<DeathStar> 6* F. Jean nods and looks
<Seraphna> Lia> "We're still missing some Anima..."
<DeathStar> <F. Jean> Tomorrow a group of you need to go up to them
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Which ones?
<Seraphna> Lia> "D for one."
<DeathStar> 6* Mimi plays with her E
<Seraphna> Lia> "I'm attuned to him and we haven't seen him since he was stolen."
<DeathStar> 6* Rose moves to go sleep and Jean hugs on Umi
<Chain> 6*Umi licks Jean
<Seraphna> Lia> "We have L, T, E and C. That means D, J and Z are missing. At least those ones. M is accounted for."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Well, we'll find them
<Seraphna> Lia> "D was property of Neer and the Masons until the war in Gelus, when sometime during it all, someone stole it. Chain had L on her. The locations of J and Z... not sure who would have them. Autumn had J until it was transferred to Tareh when the God Planet started to crash."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Do not worry
<Seraphna> * Lia nods, still a bit pouty. "I know it sounds silly... but D is a friend of mine."
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 5.4.2863
<DeathStar> Location: Near the Airship
<DeathStar> 6* Deus stands there, peering at Jubei
<DeathStar> <Deus> You will go with them, as my eyes and ears. As part of the treaties
<DeathStar> 6* Angel climbs aboard as well, and Cersei. Rachael hands Nephilim to the maids and steps on. Younger Jean walks on to help with the marks, and power them up if need be
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> Wh-What?
<DeathStar> *Rua snickers at Jubei* <Rua> Don't screw it up, my queen
<DeathStar> *Rua tosses Jubei onto the airship and follows*
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei sneers at Rua. 1"You litt-- HEY!"
<DeathStar> 6* Fate walks onto the airship
<Jackieness> <Asha> *paces across the length of the airship, inspecting*
<Seraphna> * Kaelan hops on, as does Lia and Truth.
<Seraphna> * Lia paws at younger Jean. "I'd like to raise my mark when you get a chance." *she cat-smiles*
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> Will this not affect my acceptance as you warned?
<Jackieness> <Moira> *moves to board the ship since she is needed to fight the good fight again*
<DeathStar> <Jean> OIkay
<DeathStar> 6* jean touches Lia and focuses
<Seraphna> * Lia focuses with her.
<DeathStar> *making it Level 2*
<Seraphna> * Lia smiles. "Cool!"
<DeathStar> <Cersei> Alright, lift us off when ready. *she calls to Asha; Parita waves Leruste goodbye. Rose stands around on the ship*
<kalonZombie> 6*Ler waves bye to Parita "You stay out of trouble"
<DeathStar> <Parita> Pffft. Back at you
<DeathStar> 6* Fate sits on a railing
<DeathStar> <Deus> you will just have to finish fast
<DeathStar> <Deus> Won't you?
<DeathStar> <Deus> I will be back at the Demon Realm waiting
<Jackieness> <Asha> "All hands, prepare for departure!" *places her hand on the ship's wheel*
<Seraphna> * Kaelan leans by Rose and peers her over. "It's been a long time for you."
<DeathStar> 6* Deus turns and glides off, her see throughish silk gown clinging to her blue body, making heads turn
<DeathStar> 6* Rose nods
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> Waiting indeed, you'll answer for this treachery!
<DeathStar> 6* Cersei paces with her Rustic Blade and Angel and Rua stand to one side
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I'm sorry I left you behind... I thought I was coming back up until the time warp."
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei is grinning happily though.
<DeathStar> <Rose> *glances at Kaelan* Did you
<DeathStar> *her voice is soft like velvet*
<DeathStar> Rose> That is okay - it all taught me a lot about time warps and experiences. Everything that happened
<DeathStar> 6* She peers back otu
<Jackieness> <Asha> *starts to take them up* "And remember, no LEviathan this time! Unless it had relatives... ticked off and vengeful relatives!"
<DeathStar> 6* As they fly upward, lifting up toward the clouds, Rachael hugs on Leruste, and Rua's tail shifts downward, not liking flying it seems
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I'm not quite sure I would have gone if I knew fully that I was leaving behind my wife and children..." *she peers out with her* "I'm glad I have a sister in this world though."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean snuggles Umi
<DeathStar> <Rose> You have another wife now, and she will ahve new children
<Chain> 6*Umi wags her tail
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "That's true. Oddly it took Mercy's blessing to live my life again for me to realize just how much Zegretta was looking at me."
<DeathStar> *Fate clings to Cersei as they fly*
<DeathStar> 6* As they near the Sky People's city island, they come across - no enemies
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei eyes Rua. 1"Oh, have to follow me outside the realm, too, huh?"
<DeathStar> <Rua> I am your guardian
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> This... is easy.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "You're much more talkative these days."
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Whnat gives?
<DeathStar> <Rose> Hm
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei snickers and sneers. 1"What a faithful houndbark."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Narok killed the bad guy
<DeathStar> 6* Rua lifts Jubei as if to throw her over
<DeathStar> <Rua> I think I see the demon realm from here
<DeathStar> 6* Angel jerks and runs over
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> Y-You wouldn't dare!
<DeathStar> <Rua> *Sets her down and sneers*
<Seraphna> * Lia bounces around a bit, smiling. She seems much more the cheerful Catmew she started as in these adventures.
<DeathStar> 6* They soon land and find Tae moving over to join them, in a monk outfit
<DeathStar> 6* Tae studies them all, then bows
<Jackieness> <Asha> "You may now disembark. Thank you for flying me."
<Seraphna> * Kaelan bows her head.
<DeathStar> 6 Seraphim smiles and walks off
<Seraphna> * Lia hops out and peers around.
<DeathStar> 6* Tae gestures, asking why they are here
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei grins, albeit looking nervous now, "petting" Rua's head.
<Seraphna> Lia> "We're looking into getting to the glittering, to look into the God Barrier."
<DeathStar> 6* Cersei and Fate walk along, Fate turning into a sythe for Cersei
<kalonZombie> 6*Ler follows
<DeathStar> 6* Tae jerks at that, and studies them, then motions to be followed, leading them toward some mountains
<Jackieness> <Moira> *moves to disembark from the airship*
<DeathStar> 6* Jean walks with Umi, holding hands, and Rose and Angel, with Rua snarling a bit, walks along
<Seraphna> * Lia trots after her, Kaelan moves along, Truth walking with Jean resuming her guardian position.
<DeathStar> 6* Seraphim floats
<Nyaomi> 6Wyrd smiles at Fate doing that and hugs Cersei, stroking the scythe gently
<DeathStar> 6* The scythe wiggles
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> Oh-ho! I found a weakness!
<Chain> 6*Umi smothers Jean in kisses
<Chain> 6*Tail ticking
<DeathStar> *Jean giggles and wiggles her three tails*
<Jackieness> <Asha> *steps off of the airship, wearing her special captaining outfit*
<DeathStar> 6* After walking several hours, which Rua looks more and more annoyed at being this high up, they reach the mountains, and enter a cave
<DeathStar> 6* Tae leads them quietly inside the cave and where a monk sits, looking dead he is so still. Tae moves pasta nd points at a Waygate on the ground, perhaps the last in the world of Tareh
<DeathStar> 6* Jean moves over slowly, studying it and Cersei does the same, hmming
<DeathStar> <Jean> The glittering gate.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "This brings back memories..."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "That was... easy."
<DeathStar> *Tae signs they are the protectors of the gate to the Way of Sacred Land*
<Seraphna> Lia> "But do we have anyone who can use Lightstep?"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean's hand glows
<DeathStar> <JEan> I can use it
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei looks apologetic and kisses Rua's cheek
<Seraphna> Lia> "Well then."
<Jackieness> <Moira> "And I remember having to do it once. Threw me for a loop when I dumped all my mystifae into it."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "We'll need to have Wind and Water mana at the ready in case there's no air where we go."
<DeathStar> <Rua> *her tail twitches* Queen Meatbone, please do not do that
<DeathStar> <Rua> I hate to think I'd be your next concubine
<DeathStar> 6* Angel eyes Rua
<DeathStar> 6* Jean activates it, looking tired
<DeathStar> 6* Angel peers at the gate in awe as Jean vanishes on it
<DeathStar> 6* Cersei muses, then leaps in
<DeathStar> 6* Seraphim floats through
<DeathStar> 6* Tae watches them go, lips moving silently
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael sighs ande walks in
<Seraphna> * Kaelan, Lia and Truth leap in. Lia leading Maka if she's come along for all this. The player has a brain fart at the moment.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *steps through the gate*
<kalonZombie> 6*Ler walks in as well
<Jackieness> <Asha> "This should be fun." *walks through*
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei jerks, moving to follow.
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> I just wanted to cheer you up...
<DeathStar> <Rua> *Studies Jubei a bit considering* Hm. Then I Can gnaw on you?
<DeathStar> *She follows*
<DeathStar> 6* Maka follows slowly
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFt-
<DeathStar> Location: Glittering: Way Station C
<DeathStar> 6* They appear in a small room. Mimi looks around
<DeathStar> 6* Rubbing her gauntlet. Rose studies hte gauntlet, then looks around
<Seraphna> * Kaelan peers around, readying T as well. Lia mews and has L ready. Truth peers about.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "This one look familiar?"
<Seraphna> Lia> "This is a Way Station."
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> You want to... gnaw on me?>
<DeathStar> *Mimi eyes suits on the wall
<DeathStar> *with helmets*
<DeathStar> <Mimi> What are those?
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Air suits, we need to wear them to survive in the Glittering."
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Gonna need them to breathe out there.
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> No air.
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Like the ocean.
<Seraphna> * Lia moves over and starts checking them out, using her Ancient Scholar knowledge to check if they're still good to use.
<Seraphna> Lia> "The Demon Blades should be fine in vacuum. We may also be able to make a sort of air bubble with Angel Magik."
<DeathStar> *they are - Tae's people must keep them up to date*
<DeathStar> 6* Jean suits up Umi*
<DeathStar> <Mimi> I can use my anima out there
<kalonZombie> 6*Ler suits up
<Jackieness> <Moira> "As can I."
<Seraphna> Lia> "They're good to use. I can too. As can Kaelan."
<DeathStar> 6* Seraphim looks fine without it; Cersei muses
<DeathStar> <Cersei> I will hack into Wyrd and FAte and not breathe
<DeathStar> 6* Maka looks confused on what to do
<Seraphna> Lia> "It'll also be very, very cold."
<Jackieness> <Asha> *pulls on a suit* "Totally unflattering."
<Seraphna> * Lia gets Maka in one.
<DeathStar> <Seraphim> If you use your demon side you will not need it
<Seraphna> Lia> "The Demon Blades are actually pretty good at ignoring the elements. But if you can't, you will want a suit just to not freeze."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael suits up
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> ... Hm
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> Rua-- I'd be fine, wouldn't I?
<DeathStar> 6* Rua does not suit up nor does Angel
<DeathStar> <Rua> *Studies Jubei* For a time
<Seraphna> * Kaelan and LIa only suit up if there are enough to spare, better not to take chances in case an Anima runs out.
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> I'm surprised you don't need to.
<DeathStar> <Rua> I am a spirit
<Seraphna> * Truth waits patiently.
<Jackieness> <Asha> "Well, if that's the case." *pulls off the suit and then pulls off her seal, assuming demon form*
<DeathStar> 6* After they are suited up, Jean moves to the door and grabs it
<DeathStar> <Jean> Everyone ready?
<Seraphna> * Sera's people nod.
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> I'm ready
<Chain> 6*Umi nods
<Jackieness> <Moira> *summons armor C around herself*
<DeathStar> 6* mimi does E
<Seraphna> * Kaelan and Lia Anima up.
<DeathStar> 6* They step outside and the bitter cold of space hits them as they step onto the asteroid. The glittering asteroids look to be a lot less than before, due to the rampaging Red Planet, and it is a lot closer than before; in front of them it fills their vision
<DeathStar> 6* Mimi floats a long and Maka stumbles in her suit like a klutz. Rachael sticks to Leruste
<DeathStar> <RAchael> I forgot how much I hate this
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Yeah it kinda sucks
<DeathStar> 6* Rose walks along quietly with Seraphim floating, her hair frozen in place in space. The stairs above them and Earth above them gives a dizzying effect.
<Seraphna> * Lia helps Maka. Kaelan peers around in T, she seems to have her air legs from being up here before and using a flying Anima for so long.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean walks along slowly, and Cersei moves as best she can
<DeathStar> 6* Her bare skin blueing a bit
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> I don't know-- I kind of lik ethis...
<DeathStar> 6* Even using Fate and Wyrd to supplement. Rua moves as best she can
<Jackieness> <Moira> *moves forward*
<Chain> 6*Umi holds Jean's hand
<Jackieness> <Asha> *keeps her hair moving to try to keep it from freezing up*
<Seraphna> Lia> "Gravity is weaker here, so move carefully. Every movement counts for more."
<DeathStar> 6* Angel moves along, her tail moving
<DeathStar> 6* Maka leaps and begins to fly off
<DeathStar> <Maka> Yiiii!
<DeathStar> <Rachael> There goes Maka
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei grabs Maka with her extended tail
<Seraphna> * Lia pauses, having been about to grab her with TK. "Well, as she showed, we can move very fast over terrain up here."
<DeathStar> 6* Cersei peers up and blinks, then looks relieved as Jubei grabs Maka; far up ahead is another building, though it looks to be half a mile. The Red Planet looks to be the distance the moon would be from Earth, only they are 1/4th there already
<DeathStar> 6 *Cersei leaps and times her jumps, covering the distance to the next building, leaping high, then thrusting downward with her blades to come back donw
<DeathStar> 6* Rua runs along and leaps and moves fast
<DeathStar> <Jean> *grins and looks at Umi and uses the space jump and walk
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Couldn't we aim at the Red Planet and jump?
<DeathStar> <Rose> We'd burn up
<Chain> <Umi><whee>
<Seraphna> * Kaelan, Lia and Truth make their way along.
<DeathStar> <Jean> *Grimly nods at Rose and they work their way*
<DeathStar> -TIME HOP-
<DeathStar> 6* After using way stones to move along the glittering asteroids, for a good bit, they come to one asteroid that looks beat up badly and with half of it gone, and no sign of the next building; it seems as if a great battle took place here long ago, with signs of magik and sword swipes in the ground
<DeathStar> 6* Space perserving the battle
<DeathStar> 6* A good distance away is an asteroid with a building, spinning slowly. Rachael looks around, studying the asteroid slowly, then jerks
<DeathStar> <Rachael> IS this--
<DeathStar> <Jean> ..
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> I think it is
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Yeah..."
<DeathStar> 6* Mimi floats there, wondering how to get to the next asteroid for the team.
<DeathStar> 6* The air shimmers and an outline of a man stands there, holding a sword
<DeathStar> 6* Behind him is a woman
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "McTreggor and Autumn?"
<DeathStar> 6* The figure rushes at them. Rua turns and jerks to dodge, part of her ear swiped off
<DeathStar> 6* The outlines jerk about and swiggle, as if not in synch
<Seraphna> * Kaelan forms an ore blade and shifts into a defenders stance, Truth summoning her gear.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "And this is where I come in." *moves over* "McTreggor!"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "McTreggor!"
<DeathStar> 6* The male figure stabs the ground and a shockwave flies at them. Jean is blasted back
<DeathStar> 6* The figure doesn't seem to hear them, perhaps not in sync enough to do so. The female figure stands back
<Seraphna> * Lia reaches out and TK grabs her to prevent her flying off, forming a gun in the other hand.
<DeathStar> <Mimi> What happened here--- to make this happen..
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Can we get them in sync somehow?"
<kalonZombie> 6*Ler tries to hop back
<DeathStar> 6* Seraphim floats up to avoid it
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Maybe?!
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "We fought them. And won."
<DeathStar> 6* The male figure rushes in and Angel throws herself to the side to avoid it
<Chain> 6*Umi helps pull Jean down when she's close enough from the TK
<DeathStar> 6* The weakened asteroid shakes, becoming more unstable
<DeathStar> 6* Jean clings to Umi
<Jackieness> <Moira> *pulls a whip-coil and mvoes to engages the spectre of McTreggor*
<Seraphna> * Truth activates her protection aura and shifts to face McTreggor. Kaelan grumbles and starts weaving Earth Magik to try and stabilize it.
<DeathStar> 6* Spectre McTreggor turns and holds up his sword, the area shaking. Cersei rushes in with her blade, losing more of her bubble to space and slashes it
<DeathStar> 6* The spectre swibbles, losing form
<DeathStar> 6* Then knocks Cersei abck near Maka
<DeathStar> 6* Rose watches intently
<Seraphna> * Truth backs her swing up with two slashes of her own in an X pattern.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *moves and swings a whip-coil at the spectre*
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei rubs her chin, then kicks to move forward.
<DeathStar> 6* Mimi fires beams at the next asteroid, bringing it closer
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> Those of you suited shouldn't fight
<kalonZombie> 6*Leruste nods
<DeathStar> 6* The spectre is hit by the attacks and begins to deform more
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Yeah, one little cut and...
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Just get to the next asteroid!"
<DeathStar> 6* Rua and Angel snarl and hold their weapons, Rua's a staff and Angel her blades.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "You should be resting in peace Leon!"
<Seraphna> * Lia assists Mimi in firing.
<DeathStar> 6* McTreggor moves in and leaps. Stabbing at Kaelan. Cersei tries to come in and stab at the spectre's back and it unravels more
<DeathStar> <Maka> Poor clouds - coming apart forever.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *leaps and then punches at McTreggor*
<Seraphna> * Kaelan brings her blade up to block and goes full defensive bulwark.
<DeathStar> 6* The spectre is punched, even as Moira goes through some, and deforms more. The next asteroid is in range to leap away
<Seraphna> Lia> "Any way to bring them fully back into being Maka?"
<DeathStar> 6* Maka shrugs and leaps away
<DeathStar> 6* Rose leaps away and Jean leaps with Umi
<DeathStar> 6* the female spectre keeps watching from a distance
<Seraphna> * Lia leaps with her, frowning under the L armor. Kaelan holds her ground so others can move. Truth waits till Jean leaps and then leaps after her.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Autumn! Call him off!"
<kalonZombie> 6*Ler leaps away
<DeathStar> 6* The nearly faded away male spectre steps back and spins
<Jackieness> <Asha> *leaps across to the next asteroid*
<DeathStar> <Cersei> If McTreggor can't hear you how can she
<DeathStar> 6* Seraphim floats
<DeathStar> 6* Mimi finishes and turns to join the fight
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "I don't know, I'm just hoping."
<DeathStar> 6* Angel leaps away and Rua joins Jubei as long as she remains
<DeathStar> <Rua> Typicall I find ghosts and spectres are bound by blood
<Seraphna> * Lia from a distance feels them out, trying to see if they're souls, mana stuff, etc.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Then Mimi might make a difference."
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei is doing the same...
<DeathStar> <Mimi> I have no space suit
<DeathStar> 6* They seem to be impressions of their spirits left behind after the shockwave
<DeathStar> 6* Mimi grimaces and deforms, landing, even as she begins to freeze
<Seraphna> Lia> "There are... impressions. Not quite them. But like aftershocks."
<DeathStar> 6* Ice crystals forms. She cuts her hand and throws blood into McTreggor's unraveling spectre
<Seraphna> * Lia creates a barrier around Mimi of fire air and water.
<DeathStar> 6* Mimi's jaws chattering and she falls, looking out of it, even with that, and suddnely the spectre begins to solidify
<Seraphna> * It's designed to work like a barrier from cold and to give her air.
<DeathStar> 6* PErhaps needing more blood
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei muses, then cuts part of her hand and blows the drops toward it
<Seraphna> * Kaelan slides in and gently pricks her for blood, she sends it at the McTregoor spirit before shoving the gauntlet back on Mimi.
<DeathStar> 6* The other blood does not do much. Mimi eyes it, then cutsh er hand and splashes again and McTreggor reforms completely
<Seraphna> * Lia sends healing magic into Mimi to keep her stable.
<DeathStar> 6* The man stands there with his blade, the glowing god blade glowing.
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> It's the bloodline..
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Leon! It's us! The battle is long over!"
<DeathStar> 6* He looks around - the other spectre outline remaining of Autumn
<DeathStar> <Leon McTReggor> Yes. ... it is. But I must guard Autumn's spirit for all time as penance for my sins.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Mc Treggor! The war is over!" *leans down to tap Mimi's gauntlet gem*
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> Do we have one of the Spear family?
<Seraphna> Lia> "Mimi,you might wanna get your suit back on."
<DeathStar> 6* Mimi reforms
<DeathStar> 6* Leon eyes some of the other blood thrown on him drip on the sword, Autumn reforming a little, just a little
<DeathStar> <Leon McTreggor> Go now before I become a phantom and fight you again
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "She's reforming a little."
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei kicks over to him and grabs the blade, smiling at him.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "We might be able to revive her."
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> I'm not the kind to overlook those in need.
<DeathStar> 6* Rua jerks as Jubei grabs the blood and cutsh er hand, the blood sucking more and more blood
<DeathStar> *Angel, from the other asteroid, screams her name as Jubei begins to feel faint and look suken*
<DeathStar> <Leon McTreggor> What are you doing, grabbing this cursed blade?
<DeathStar> 6* Autumn begins to reform more*
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei winces slightly, biting her lip, lettting go when it's obvious she can't handle more.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Jubei..."
<DeathStar> 6* The blade holds on
<Seraphna> Lia> "J-Jubei!"
<DeathStar> 6* Rua grabs Jubei and grabs the blade, yanking and pulls her off finally as the blade takes another
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei deadpans, bringing up the Rune Blade and hits its hilt to Leon's blade
<DeathStar> 6* Rua howls lik a dog, but Jubei striking frees her
<DeathStar> 6* At this point Autumn is nearly formed
<DeathStar> 6* the cursed blade looks less cursed
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei pulls Rua to her, hugging her.
<DeathStar> <Cersei> *She cutsh erself and throws her blood at the sword
<DeathStar> 6* From a distance
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> C'mon. Just one more willing to help an ally of my grandmother?
<DeathStar> 6* The sword eating it
<Jackieness> <Moira> "So does anyone's blood work?"
<DeathStar> *Her skin more blue since the swords are protecting her. Fate supplyingmenting her.*
<Seraphna> * Lia frowns and deforms part of the hand armor of L, cuts hrself, and sends it over.
<DeathStar> <Cersei> Yes it seems
<Seraphna> * Lia then reforms the hand armor.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *nods and deform, cutting herself to give some blood and then reforming the C armor again*
<DeathStar> 6* After a bit, Autumn reforms and McTreggor's sword becomes pure white and becomes the True McTreggor Blade*
<DeathStar> 6* Autumn stumbles and falls to her knees, panting. Leon walks over to her
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Well damn, it worked."
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> Nice to meet you! Autumn, was it?
<DeathStar> <Leon> You are free of the curse Autumn. Go now with them. *he throws his blade to Jubei* Take it, quickly, and her
<DeathStar> 6* Leon throws Autumn at them
<Jackieness> <Moira> "What of you, McTreggor?"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "What about you? Aren't you free now too?"
<DeathStar> <Cersei> What about you?
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei grins, more cheshire in her smile blinking as she catches the sword, looking sullen.
<DeathStar> <Leon> One of us has to remain or the curse will try to follow. Get as far away as possible
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> You're protecting her right? Obviously you're tagging along.
<DeathStar> <Autumn> Leon... don't do this....
<DeathStar> <Leon> Nonsense. *he glances at Mimi* I have seen the fruits of my sacrifice. Give that blade to her hwen she is out of that anima
<DeathStar> *He tells Jubei, already becoming more spectrey* <Leon> Go. NOW12
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "We will."
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> ... Certainly.
<DeathStar> 6* Autumn is too weak to protest
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei salutes and bows her head to him.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "LEt's move out!" *looks to make sure Mimi can make it*
<DeathStar> 6* Cersei turnsa nd leaps onto the next anima and Rua pulls Jubei with her. Mimi stares a moment, as if she might not go
<DeathStar> 6* Then flies over. The entire asteroid begins to darken, as if the curse plans to chase them
<DeathStar> <Autumn> LEON1
<kalonZombie> 6*Ler leaps
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael follows
<Seraphna> * Lia heads back for the others on the other asteroid. Kaelan leaps over.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Mimi, he is giving us this moment."
<DeathStar> <Jean> *with Umi on the other asteroid* We cannot stop running
<DeathStar> <JEan> That curse is going to chase Autumn until we can lose it
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "DOUBLE TIME! MOVE!"
<DeathStar> 6* Jean turns and runs, as does Cersei, Rose, Mimi, Maka, and Seraphim
<Jackieness> <Moira> *turns and runs once Mimi starts moving*
<Seraphna> * Truth moves with Jean, Kaelan and Lia making their way in Animas.
<Chain> 6*Umi picks up Jean and books it
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael runs as best she can but trips, her suit getting a slight tear, and air hisses out
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei takes Autumn and the blade and begins leaping along with her strength.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> D-Damn
<DeathStar> <Autumn> *moans weakly*
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei peers over and uses part of the rune blade to seal it with earth magik
<Seraphna> * Kaelan pauses by her and uses an Earth Armor spell to make a patch.
<DeathStar> *Mimi is quiet in her anima as she rushes along, the darkness of the curse chasing behind them*
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> Hurry.
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael rises and shakes her leg and hurries, dragging Leruste
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Spare the Rune Blade energy Jubei."
<kalonZombie> 6*Ler runs along with Rachael
<DeathStar> 6* Up ahead the next building way gate is seen, that will get them away from the curse
<DeathStar> 6* PREPARE YOURSELVES
<DeathStar> 6* Up, Down, Down, Right, Down, Up, Down, Right, Up
<DeathStar> 5

<kalonZombie> duuluduld
<DeathStar> 3
<Jackieness> duuluduld
<DeathStar> 2
<DeathStar> 1
<DeathStar> -0-
<DeathStar> 6* Moira and Kalon's people make it, while the others trip right outside the door they make. The curse flows all around them, circling Jubei with Autumn, blocking them off. Only RAchael gets inside with the way gate
<DeathStar> <Rachael> *she rushes over and begins to start it up*
<DeathStar> <Jean> We have to blast our way out
<DeathStar> 6* Jean fires into the curse
<DeathStar> 6* Mimi blasts into it
<Seraphna> * Lia nods and forms two guns, firing, Kaelan sending out a blast of lightning and Truth Holy.
<DeathStar> 6* Rua and Maka attack
<DeathStar> 6* PRepare yourself for effectiveness
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei makes a face and uses the Rune Blade and cleaves into the curse with a minor holy using her Tiger Blade
<DeathStar> 6* Up, Down, Right, Left, Right, Down, Up

<DeathStar> -0-
<DeathStar> 6* They manage to blast a hole to get everyone outside in
<DeathStar> 6* Jean puills Umi through
<DeathStar> 6* MAka and Seraphim float through and Mimi flies in
<kalonZombie> 6*Ler helps pull people in
<DeathStar> 6* Cersei slides in and Rua rushes in
<Jackieness> <Asha> *hugs on to Seraphim*
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael leaps through and Seraphim hugs
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> All in c'mon
<DeathStar> <Seraphim> I am getting old
<Seraphna> * Kaelan and Lia move in, as does Truth. Lia TKs anyone that straggles.
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Is that gate powered up?"
<DeathStar> 6* Mimi flies in
<DeathStar> <Cerseio> IT seems so; GO!
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Everyone through!"
<DeathStar> 6* Maka and Rua go in and Angel rolls in
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei trots through
<Seraphna> * Sera's people go through.
<DeathStar> 6* Autumn clings to Jubei weakly
<Jackieness> 6* Moira and Asha go on through.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly a cursed tendril ala BEYOND reaches for Jean and Umi
<DeathStar> 6* Grabbing Jean's leg after everyone else has gone in by Leruste
<DeathStar> * But
<DeathStar> 6* She begins to get pulled back out
<kalonZombie> 6*Ler moves to grab her and try to go through with her
<DeathStar> 6* Reaching for Umi's leg, Jean jerks and is pulled along, her suit leg burning
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> C'mon!
<DeathStar> 6* Jean holds onto his arm and is pulled hard, and is pulled through with Umi, bouncing in
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Red Planet
<DeathStar> 6* The group snaps through, slamming into knocked over reddish colored walls and columns, with red sand blowing all over and black starry night, with Tareh up above them. Jean snaps in last with Umi and Leruste, a coil of the curse around her ankle
<DeathStar> 6* It goes for Autumn
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei shifts and cleaves it with the Rune Blade
<DeathStar> 6* Poof
<DeathStar> 6* Dead
<DeathStar> 6* Mimi pants, deforming
<DeathStar> 6* Taking in ragged air of the planet
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> Mimi McTreggor..
<Seraphna> * Lia and Kaelan deform their Anima.
<DeathStar> 6* Jean unclicks her helmet, breathing in the thin air, recalling inside is where the true palace was
<Chain> 6*Umi pulls off hers as well
<DeathStar> 6* Autumn lays there weakly
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "We'll need to get inside to get some real air."
<DeathStar> 6* Mimi turns to Jubei
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei sheathes the Rune Blade and draws Leon's blade, setting Autumn down gently and presents it to Mimi
<Seraphna> * Lia weaves an air bubble around them for now.
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> ... I believe this belongs to you.
<DeathStar> 6* Mimi takes the True McCormick Blade
<DeathStar> <Mimi> Thank you..
<Jackieness> <Moira> *deforms C and stands, looking around* "And here we are again... the Palace of the Gods."
<DeathStar> 6* up ahead they see burnt and charred ruins, and it seems a deep crevice and hole
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "What's left of the palace, that is."
<DeathStar> 6* As if a massive explosion happened and part of the planet is missing, judging b y how deep and far down the crevie is going
<DeathStar> 6* Rose looks around
<Jackieness> <Asha> *shakes our her hair* "Finally!"
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Did... we do that?"
<DeathStar> <Rachael> The palace and half the red planet seems to be gone
<Chain> 6*Umi sniffs about
<DeathStar> <Mimi> The Red Planet rained down on Tareh for hours it was said
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Probably..."
<DeathStar> <Mimi> The remaining heroes had to stop
<DeathStar> *it
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Seems like our calling card, yeah.
<Seraphna> Lia> "A lot of the planet came crashing down on Tareh after your final battle. The Anima were sent to the heroes who stayed behind and they were able to defend the world with them."
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei picks Autumn back up, focusing some of her templar healing upon her
<DeathStar> 6* AUtumn sits up weakly
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "So... it's been a while Autumn."
<Chain> 6*Umi swaps to wolf form, carrying Jean on her back
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blinks and hugs
<DeathStar> 6* Rose moves down to the crevice and peers down at what appears to be abyss, leading right down to the core and space, half the planet gone
<DeathStar> 6* However, if one looks carefully enough, they can see in the crevice and sides, part of the palace left.
<Seraphna> * Lia moves over curiously and peers down.
<DeathStar> 6* If they are willing to risk climbing down and falling into space
<kalonZombie> 6*Ler follows her "...I'll bet if you spit down there it would take forever
<DeathStar> 6* Mimi looks down
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> You probably wouldn't even hear it land
<DeathStar> <Autumn> It is.
<DeathStar> <Autumn> I did not expect to live again
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Probably some of the god chambers that we skipped..."
<DeathStar> 6* She looks almost younger than before, in her 18s
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> You can tell me all about my grandmother later!
<DeathStar> <Rose> What we seek is there
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei beams at Autumn, still holding her since it's effortless for her
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Now how to get down there in one piece is the question."
<Chain> 6*Umi ponders an idea
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "There aren't Mars Moles, are there?"
<Seraphna> Truth> "That would be Mars Ice Moles."
<Chain> 6*Umi does a mole howl to test
<DeathStar> 6* There seems to be no other life up here
<DeathStar> <Autumn> I will... try.
<DeathStar> <JEan> What does my love have in mind?
<DeathStar> 6* Cersei ponders trying rope, checking her bag
<DeathStar> 6* Fate in scythe form peers over, pondering
<DeathStar> <Mimi> I wonder if there is even a way gate here home
<DeathStar> 6* Seraphim flaots about, but not over the edge - not wanting to fall all the way to Tareh and burn alive
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "It
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Last tiem we cmae here, we got home centuries later..."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "It's possible one in the palace survived."
<Chain> 6*Umi shares her idea to Jean
<DeathStar> <Jean> It is worth a try. We just need to get into the palace. The first room we see will do
<DeathStar> 6* She nods
<Seraphna> Lia> "Mmm, but the time machine should be destroyed now, so that's likely not a risk."
<DeathStar> 6* Angel looks curious at what they are talking about and RAchael tilts her head, holding Leruste's hand
<DeathStar> <Jean> But how will the others go with you?
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> I would be very upset if I were tossed into the future!
<kalonZombie> 6*Ler gives her hand a little squeeze
<Chain> 6*Umi nods and makes herself bigger
<DeathStar> <Jean> Hee. Of course
<Seraphna> Lia> "If we had D we could just teleport down there, or drill. Maybe T could fly us?"
<DeathStar> 6* DS' people climb on. Autumn last, unsure
<Chain> 6*Umi wags
<DeathStar> <Autumn> It feels strange getting on Umi - I recall last time us fighting.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Everyone on
<Seraphna> * Sera's people climb on.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ler steps on
<DeathStar> 6* Cersei rests on top and Fate plays with her fur, petting and making Wyrd roll around. Maka looks about, staring at the stars in awe.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "So long as you don't plan to start a new empire when we're done, that shouldn't be a problem Autumn."
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael leans against Leruste on her
<DeathStar> <Autumn> No.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan smiles softly.
<DeathStar> <Autumn> An existing one will do
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "You."
<Jackieness> 6* Moira and Asha climb on.
<Seraphna> Lia> "You can have Umbal."
<Nyaomi> 6Wyrd giggles at Fate
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei holds onto Autumn so she doesn't fall off
<DeathStar> 6* Rua looks around on Umi, one dog to another
<DeathStar> 6* She sniffs
<Chain> 6*Umi starts to float a little before she starts decending as needed
<DeathStar> *they begin to descend along the side of the planet's half, and below them they can see Tareh. If Umi slips, or tips, they are dead. Just dead. As they go down, they see the layers of dirt and grime
<Chain> 6*Umi focuses so they dont
<Seraphna> * Kaelan watches, ready to shift terrain if Umi needs it.
<DeathStar> 6* Then finally, they see --- a room of the palace that survived. It looks like it is a garden, and only what bubble is around the red planet, and protecting them
<DeathStar> 6* Is giving it air
<DeathStar> 6* If they go lower there might be more, but here is one jump off point to explore
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Looks nice.
<DeathStar> *To see if more rooms are there*
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Do we want to stop here?"
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> Ahhh, smells nice in here..
<Chain> 6*Umi keeps decending unless told to stop
<Seraphna> * Kaelan shrugs since no one answers.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Lets do it here
<DeathStar> <JEan> it may be dangerous
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Yeah.
<Seraphna> Lia> "Yeah."
<DeathStar> <Cersei> Agreed; the other rooms may be covered up
<Chain> 6*Umi settles along side where its level
<DeathStar> 6* The group leaps off into the garden
<DeathStar> 6* Cersei lands and peers at the planets - they are strange plants, but many are known and some not. They have names of Earth plants that some saw in their trip to the past
<DeathStar> 6* Autumn looks around at the garden, touching it fondly, clearly her's
<DeathStar> 6* Mimi looks around, then helps Umi in
<Chain> 6*Umi shrinks to normal and wags
<Jackieness> <Moira> "I suppose a welcome home is in order then..."
<DeathStar> 6* Rose walks along and soon finds a broken down elevator that no longer works and waves RAchael over, who wind blasts it and knocks the elevator pad down the shaft, eyeing the dark shaft
<Seraphna> Lia> "Nice room to have survived."
<DeathStar> <Rose> What floor is the God Barrier device, Autumn?
<Seraphna> Truth> "Is there any fruit plants?"
<DeathStar> 6* Autumn jerks. "Why do you want that?
<DeathStar> 6* She points them out for Truth in the over grown, untended garden.
<DeathStar> <Rose> We are here to shut it down for the gods here and the future of Tareh.
<DeathStar> <Autumn> It is 10 floors down, even below Gartareh's chamber.
<kalonZombie> 6*Leruste looks around at the plants as well
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Deeper down than even there."
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "He definately wanted it protected then."
<DeathStar> 6* Jean looks down, musing. "If everyone gets near me, I can probably leap us straight down. I could use wind users with wind barrier or jump"
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael steps over and Mimi gets her Anima ready to help smash through
<Chain> 6*Umi gets close
<Seraphna> * Lia gets her orb out and Kaelan nods, getting wind Mana ready. They get their animas ready too.
<kalonZombie> 6*Ler steps over
<Seraphna> * Truth finishes stocking up on godfruits and hobbles over.
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei smiles and stands next to Jean with Autumn-- wind element
<Jackieness> <Moira> *gets C ready and then moves next to Jean*
<Seraphna> Truth> "Truth will introduce these to Tareh."
<Jackieness> <Asha> "Oh, how charming an idea!"
<DeathStar> 6* Autumn moves over and frowns a little, studying them. JEan focuses her wind bullet tech she has been perfecting and Rachael gets her wind barrier and jump. Maka watches curiously and Seraphim stands with Asha
<DeathStar> 6* Then they all jump down, and the animas form
<DeathStar> -TIME HOP-
<DeathStar> 6* The group smashes down hard into the chamber where they fought Gartareh, dust and smoke rising up. Before them everything is ruined and there's nothing there, everything collapsed and time feels distorted, like it's a bubble of wrongness
<DeathStar> 6* Jean eyes the ground cracked under them and sees that the elevator pad could have gone lower normally
<DeathStar> <Jean> We need to smash down one more
<Jackieness> <Moira> "You sure that time machine is really destroyed?!"
<DeathStar> 6* Maka peers at a crack in the rubble
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Would you want to go back?
<DeathStar> <Makla> No machines
<DeathStar> <Maka> Just bubble
<DeathStar> <Cersei> What would the bubble do?
<DeathStar> <Maka> Repeating cloud
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "So we shouldn't linger long."
<Jackieness> <Moira> "Let's get out of here. Ready to smash through?"
<Seraphna> * Kaelan peers over the floor and forms an Ore Sword in T. "Yep."
<DeathStar> 6* Mimi rears back
<DeathStar> <Mimi> On 3
<DeathStar> <Mimi> 1
<DeathStar> <Mimi> 2.
<DeathStar> <Mimi> 3!!!
<DeathStar> 6* She punches
<Jackieness> <Moira> *has C smash*
<DeathStar> 6* Cersei stabs
<Seraphna> * Kaelan and Lia hit it with Anima Might
<DeathStar> 6* Jean blasts
<Seraphna> * Truth blasts.
<DeathStar> 6* The floor gives way and they all drop and slide, Autumn making a curse. Rose rolls and gets to her feet and they appear in a chamber that looks damaged badly, lights flickering and seems to have only survived due to the fact it was built well
<DeathStar> 6* The area that should have been cut in half looks to have collapsed in on itself
<DeathStar> 6* Standing in the center is a giant orb with the system in it and it shows an outline, and around the device is 5 orbs with dead gods' hearts in it powering, to shut them down
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "Alright..." *she peers around*
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael stares and throws up, sick
<DeathStar> <Jean> G-God Barrier.
<Seraphna> * Lia blinks and moves over, peering at it.
<Jackieness> <Asha> "....so... who did those belong to?"
<Seraphna> * Lia peers for a control panel, using Ancient Scholar to help her reason out the device.
<DeathStar> 6* It seemed to counter act Ama and Tsuki and Kagu Gartareh used the hearts of 5 other gods. Who knows which ones or how powerful. Perhaps Thor isn't our slumming, or maybe it's another god. Maybe it was Erevis' children that died in the battle
<DeathStar> 6* Lia would spot between two hearts a control panel
<Seraphna> Lia> "Control panel here." *she starts examining it carefully to figure out the controls*
<Seraphna> Lia> "If I can do this properly, we might be able to remove the hearts and keep them preserved."
<Seraphna> Lia> "For gods that might be enough to restore them."
<DeathStar> 6* It looks complicated and has lots of lights, with an encryption, but it seems to come down to a basic code pattern of 3 choices. A, A, A A, B, B, or A, B, C
<Seraphna> Lia> Hmmm... *she repeats it to the others as she looks it over*
<Jackieness> <Moira> "...Gartareh was one sick maniac..."
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei sets Autumn down after carefully catching her, then examines it
<DeathStar> <Cersei> I doubt we will get many choices
<DeathStar> 6* After looking more, it seems they have to pick them in the right order to boot
<Seraphna> Lia> "Yeah... well, maybe I can determine which mode it's in first and eliminate one." *she starts trying to figure that out, Tier 4*
<DeathStar> 6* Aka, AAA, ABB, A,BC
<Seraphna> LIa> "It's a boot order. A B C seems most likely as that's the ancient alphabet order."
<DeathStar> 6* Tier 4 eliminates the example
<Seraphna> LIa> *seems open to ideas*
<DeathStar> <Cersei> I can only say is to guess. *If anyone has a luck of 100 the GM will give the first one in the ordeR*
<Seraphna> * Lia unfortunately only has 80.
<Seraphna> * Truth atempts to reason it out with Puzzle Tactics.
<Seraphna> * Kaelan does too,having that one.
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> Uh, what would you say, Angie? You usually have pretty good luck!
<DeathStar> 6* The Puzzle tactics say the first choice is either A, B, B, or A, B, C.
<Seraphna> Lia> "So not A, A, A."
<DeathStar> <Angel> *muses*
<Seraphna> Lia> "And definately A, B. We need the third."
<Seraphna> * Truth looks over the hearts and things for other clues.
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> What'cha say, Angie? ABB or ABC?
<DeathStar> 6* No clues there.
<DeathStar> <Angel> Me? I really have no idea.
<DeathStar> 6* She shrugs
<DeathStar> <Angel> I say put one in with two others
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> You're related to THAT woman ;A;
<DeathStar> <Angel> And see what happens
<Nyaomi> <Jubei> I never won anything against her. Ever. =A=
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael eyes Leruste, wondering if his one chance luck willhappen
<Seraphna> Lia> "I think ABC is best. It's an order sequence..."
<kalonZombie> 6*Ler peers it over
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Hmmm.... I say ABB. Just because.
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> ABC's probably too predictable.
<DeathStar> <Rachael> I agree. Plus order sequence...
<DeathStar> *Rachael shrugs*
<Seraphna> Lia> "Well, you did open the High Priestess door."
<DeathStar> <Rachael> Okay, for the second one...
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> I'm smart!
<DeathStar> <Rachael> *She hits ABB, then eyes the two remaining ones* This is a guess until other stats kick in *fourth wall*
<DeathStar> <Rachael> ABC, or AAA?
<Seraphna> * Lia peers it over, and the readouts, trying to decide.
<DeathStar> <Angel> If it's ABB, maybe the next one is different?
<Seraphna> Lia> "Likely, I'd imagine. Perhaps AAA then ABC... I think I might be able to cheat fate on the last one."
<DeathStar> 6* She leaves it at that for her clue
<DeathStar> 6* a timer appears - it seems once you hit one, you have to hit another soon after
<DeathStar> 10
<DeathStar> 9
<DeathStar> 8
<DeathStar> 7
<DeathStar> 6
<DeathStar> 5
<DeathStar> 4
<Seraphna> * Lia bites her lip and hits AAA.
<DeathStar> 6* It pauses for the third one, not that it's right or anything
<DeathStar> 6* Since it needs the entire sequence
Session Close: Tue May 20 22:10:33 2014

Session Start: Tue May 20 22:10:33 2014
Session Ident: #Session444
* Disconnected
* Attempting to rejoin channel #Session444
* Rejoined channel #Session444
<DeathStar> 6* It pauses for the third one, not that it's right or anything
<DeathStar> 6* Since it needs the entire sequence
<DeathStar> 6* Rachael hits the last one
<Seraphna> Lia> "Okay... I can try to look into the future and see what happens if I hit ABC... but that's a risky move."
<DeathStar> 6* Their sequence is ABB, AAA, and ABC. They get the wrong noise
<DeathStar> <Rachael> We had to hit it
<Seraphna> Lia> "WEll... that didn't work."
<DeathStar> 6* A heart burns away and feeds the God Barrier
<Seraphna> Lia> "Perhaps ABB, ABC and AA."
<Seraphna> * Lia jerks.
<DeathStar> 6* A light indicates one is right
<Jackieness> <Moira> "We lost a heart."
* Chain has joined #Session444
<Seraphna> Lia> "I need you people to tap into everything you can think of to help me."
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> So... five chances?
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Four now I guess.
<DeathStar> <Cersei> I guess we try that sequence that Lia said now
<DeathStar> <Cersei> It is different
<Seraphna> * LIa checks to see if she cvan figure out which one was right.
<DeathStar> 6* It does not tell yet
<DeathStar> 6* After another heart loss they will get the perception stat
<DeathStar> 6* To use
<DeathStar> 6* Cersei waits to see if Lia tries the one she said or another
<Seraphna> * Lia considers, trying to give it one more good think over before she does with what the stakes are.
<DeathStar> (So ABB, ABC, AAA?)
<DeathStar> (*waits on confirmation*)
<Seraphna> (Sure)
<DeathStar> 6* There's a ding and the God Barrier device blows up
<DeathStar> <Angel> See? I told you the second should be different. what can be more different than three different letters.
<Jackieness> <Moira> *raises an arm instinctively as it blows*
<DeathStar> 6* The remaining four hearts are freed.
<Seraphna> Lia> "I... yeah."
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Heeeeeey, lookit that
<Seraphna> * Lia looks where the fourth was guiltily.
<Seraphna> Kaelan> "You saved four out of five. Not bad considering we really had no idea how this thing works."
<kalonZombie> <Leruste> Yeah.
<DeathStar> 6* Rose smiles widely.
<DeathStar> <Rose> The God Barrier is gone - good job
<Jackieness> <Asha> "So what does that mean now?"
<Seraphna> * Kaelan looks over at her.
<DeathStar> <Rose> It means that the old ways can come back
<DeathStar> *She nods
<DeathStar> <Autumn> Yes. it does at that.
<DeathStar> 6* Autumn frowns, perhaps at the fact she cannot become a god again, eyeing the device
<Seraphna> * Lia peers at the hearts and tries to figure out how to transport them.
<DeathStar> <Jean> Is there a way out of here?
<DeathStar> <Autumn> Yeah. *she eyes the device* ... Yeah there is. 6* She turns and moves on
<Jackieness> <Asha> "Preferably back to Tareh."
<DeathStar> 6* She leads them to a hidden way gate
<Nyaomi> 6Jubei eyes the hearts and holds her hands out to them, closing her eyes
<Jackieness> <Moira> *heads after Autumn, as does Asha*
<Seraphna> * Lia pauses in collecting them and looks at Jubei. "Mew?"
<DeathStar> 6* Mimi holds out the anima, offering to carry
<DeathStar> 6* Angel and Maka follow and Rose moves with them. Jean activates it with her power and it glows
<DeathStar> 6* She then jerks as the area shakes, as if the red planet and lab is falling apart
<DeathStar> <Jean> I think w-we brought the place down on us
<Seraphna> * Lia gabs the hearts and puts them in her sack, and begins moving.
<DeathStar> 6* She hurries through. Maka, Mimi, FAte and Cersei rush through
<Seraphna> * Kaelan and Truth move.
<DeathStar> 6* Seraphim grabs Asha and floats through
<Jackieness> <Asha> "Never faaaaaaails."
<kalonZombie> 6*Ler moves through
<Chain> 6*Umi gets Jean and hurries
<DeathStar> 6* As they all move through, the area behind them begins to exlode. Rua grabs Jubei and leaps in
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Sky Island
<DeathStar> 6* The group leaps through the way gate, not the same one they came out. IT's another island floating in the sky, this one seems to be a farming community of nude sky people and they look up as the group flies out of a mountain and it blows up behind them. Jean lays there, groaning and the farmers come over, staring. All are accounted for except Rose, who must have been caught in the explosion teleport scrambler.
<Chain> 6*Umi whines
<DeathStar> 6* Autumn lays there, staring and wincing - the sky and stars look clearer than ever before, with the God Barrier gone and the red planet has lost a section and shooting stars can be seen
<DeathStar> 6* Jean sits up and looks around
<DeathStar> <Jean> Is everyone safe?
<DeathStar> 6* Mimi deforms her anima and eyes around
<Jackieness> <Moira> *looks around* "We're missing one."
<Seraphna> * Lia looks around, mewwing. "Mmm?"
<DeathStar> <Mimi> I think so. *Seraphim squints around the island - there's no sign of airships or anything - just lands of farm and the nude farmers*
<DeathStar> <Cersei> I think we are stranded. <Rachael> What?!
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Final Epilogue:
<DeathStar> Location: Gemet, Ama's Palace
<DeathStar> 6* Tsuki hums and sings, playing with Ama's breasts, and shooting moon beams to jiggle Mugi's
<kalonZombie> 6*Thara also plays with Ama's breasts. Leon looks jealous
<DeathStar> 6* When suddenly both Ama and Tsuki jerk as they feel their full powers return as the barrier is destroyed. Tsuki falls over, twitching, especially
<Nyaomi> <Mugi> Tsuki-mama! Stop thaaaat
<Nyaomi> <Mugi> Eh..? M-mamas?" 6She runs over when they seem to be having seizures
<DeathStar> 6* Since being on Tareh, the moon, when her full powers returning is like an overload - and with Ama having that little marble that gives her full powers for 15 seconds and now having her full powers back, well, Uber Ama for 5 seconds
<DeathStar> 6* Tsuki finishes her spasm and sits up, eyes widening
<DeathStar> 6* Zuzu and Zun move over, concerned
<Chain> 6*Ama jiggles at full size and strength
<kalonZombie> 6*Thara looks over at Tsuki
<kalonZombie> <Thara> You feel it too?
<DeathStar> <Tsuki> Our powers are back - I mean fully back
<Chain> 6*Likewise so woth Tsuki
<DeathStar> 6* She looks to the sky
<Chain> <Ama> My moon
<DeathStar> <Tsuki> *she looks at Ama* My sun
<Chain> <Ama> jiggle
<DeathStar> 6* Tsuki pauses and jiggles
<Chain> <Ama>...our powers really are unlocked
<DeathStar> <Tsuki> *She grins*
