Session Ident: #taw
* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20100407.log'
* Zeal is now known as Chii
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-592.1.12
<DeathStar> Location: Mansion Base
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl watches the taxi drive off with Chad and Aya, then turns and moves back into the mansion, rubbing her face a bit; it's eveninish now.
<Tabetha> * Ariel stands waiting at the door, surprisingly attentive this evening.
<Chii> <Chii> Did she really have to go? She's adorable. Unlike oniichan, her dad.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon turns back around. Surprisingly, there's no sign of Lorelei in anyone's arms.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mmmm. I think Elwyn's the adorable one. 6* She pinches Chii's cheek. "When she showed up to party with her aunt."
<Tabetha> Ariel> "She does have to keep the PAX going." *she smiles at the two*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias watches from the window, Kaleb in his one arm.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves along, rotating her neck side to side.
<Chii> <Chii> ...Elwyn's fully grown. She looks bigger chested than either of us-- how's she adorable?" 6She snarls at Cheryl
<Tabetha> * Ariel looks around and frowns a bit. "Is Lorelei in bed already?"
<Chii> 6Chii pauses.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mmmm. Where did YZ run off to, anyway. 6* She notes, more to herself, then pauses, glancing at Lemon, at the same time Lemon glances at her. They each say the other's name and "---had her last."
<Chii> Doesn't Lem have her?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl and Lemon> No I didn't, you had her
<Chii> No you had her!@
<Tabetha> * Ariel stares a little at the syncronized blaming.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks to mode for Lorelei's room, while Lemon runs to look in the kitchen
<Chii> 6Chii sprints for the wall-mount, checking the cameras of the base.
<Tabetha> Ariel> "Well, let's look for... her... good, they're ahead of me." *she starts to check around the living room*
<DeathStar> 6* After ten minutes of hard searching, and using cameras, Cheryl and Lemon meet Chii again ni the living room, panting. Cheryl looks on the verge of a breakdown
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> She's not here.
<Chii> <Chii> I-- don't see her in the yard or base. Where could she have gone?
<DeathStar> 6* YZ steps into the room, whistling with a mischevious look, then pauses, eyeing Cheryl's crazed look she reserves for her insanity snaps in battle
<Tabetha> * Ariel rubs her face a little. "Could she be down below? How far can a baby get?"
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I-I'm so sorry, Mistresses...
<Chii> <Chii> Miniphi! Have you seen Lore?!
<DeathStar> <YZ> Lorelei? No. I was--- 6* She pauses
<Tabetha> * Ariel looks at Zephyr questioningly.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers at her, dangerously. "You were?"
<Chii> Yeah, what?
<DeathStar> <YZ> ... .... 6* She steps back sloooowly
* Chii sprints at her!
<DeathStar> <YZ> I--!!!! F-Fine! I'll tell!
* Chii slides to a halt, looking puzzled.
<DeathStar> <YZ> I had Chad's bike shipped to PAX as a joke. To see if he'd drive it around the ship
<DeathStar> 6* YZ innocently holds out Cheryl's credit chip
* Chii facepalms.
<Tabetha> * Ariel slowly looks at the others.
<Tabetha> Ariel> "You don't think..."
<Chii> Son of a bitch.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl storms to a comm. "What company shipped it. If they kidnapped my girl..."
<Chii> I-- I doubt they kidnapped her, Cherry. She probably just snuck into the crate when Miniphi wasn't paying attention..
<DeathStar> 6* Also sends a code red alert to the base to get the team ready.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She turns to eye Chii. "... ...you think so? Can we sure?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias peers up and he frowns as Kaleb starts crying
<DeathStar> 6* YZ hangs her head
<Chii> 6Key appears quickly, and does a magical girl routine to switch colour schemes. 1"Silmeria reporting!"
<Tabetha> Ariel> "I don't think anyone would do it on purpose."
<Chii> Well... I haven't exactly stuck a tracker on her lately...
* Tabetha rushes out of the showers down below to get dried and changed. "Mission time!"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... The PAX is going to leave the system in less than an hour
<Chii> Wh-What..!?
<Tabetha> Ariel> "Think we can call ahead and get Erevis to delay""
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias taps comm. 1"Cheryl, what's going on?"
<Tabetha> NRP: There's a ? in there
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets her comm and moves for the elevator. "I'll try. But we have no proof she's even in that crate."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm heading for the shuttle anyway. 6* Cheryl motions for Ariel to field the team's messages for her as she runs with her own comm
<Chii> It's shipped to oniichan, isn't it? Have him meet it!
* Chii chases Cheryl, whining out loud
<Tabetha> * Ariel nods and takes over the messages, "Lorelei is missing, the team needs to get to the shuttle."
<Chii> <Key> ... What's mission?" 6She looks confused.
<Chad`Winters> <DiasComm> I need someone to watch Kaleb then.
<Tabetha> * Ariel moves along after them.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Tabetha> Ariel> "Leave him with that Cole."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya casually carries a bag of stuff that she got off the shuttle; nearby, a large vehicle moves a crate out of a shipping shuttle
* Chad`Winters glances at the crate then shifts his bag over his shoulder. 1"A shame we couldn't stay longer."
<DeathStar> 6* A comm message can be heard stating that the PAX will be leaving ahead of schedule and for people to get everything situated.
<DeathStar> <Aya> It was still nice. Mmm. I should head to the bridge. 6* She notes, moving for a teleporter after showing her ID to a guard
<Chii> 6Dawn nabs Aya just after the checkpoint, hugging her-- still in bakery attire.
* Chad`Winters looks up, clicking at that. 1"Alright. I'll talk to you later." 6He looks at the people unloading the crate. 1"What's with the crate?"
<DeathStar> 6* They run a scanner over the crate, then jerk and unholster weapons, aiming at it. "There's a life sign in there." 6* At that moment, Chad's datapad beeps.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya makes a girlish squeal ,then pauses and smiles at Dawn, hugging him and showing him the lease to their house in Tokyo.
* Chad`Winters pulls his datapad off and looks at it
<Chii> 6Dawn blinks several times, observing it as he walks with her to the bridge
<DeathStar> 6* It's a rant from Cheryl to stop the PAX from leaving - Lorelei apparantly snuck in on a box YZ sent to be delivered to Chad." Meanwhile, the guards begin to open the crate slowly
* Chad`Winters eyes the crate then taps his comm. 1"Erevis, we need to hold up on leaving right now." 6He moves over to the crate. 1"There might be a child in here."
<DeathStar> 6* The guards turn to eye Chad when ther'es a rumbling from the crate; they jerk and fire at the crate in startlement, when suddenly a bike zooms out, with Lorelei gripping it in baby fear as the bike tears through the hanger, apparantly on auto-pilot manuevers
<DeathStar> 6* Aya pauses at the commotion behind them, turning to look as a motorcycle zooms in at them
* Chad`Winters stares at that, clearly not understanding how that's even possible. He reaches upto his comm. 1"Infact, Lorelei is on this ship." 6He whistles loudly at Aya
* Chad`Winters starts running for his bike and the child, his datapad out and sending a message back to Cheryl that Lorelei is here.
<Chii> 6Dawn grabs Aya and leaps to the side
<DeathStar> 6* People in the hanger scream and throw themselves to the side as the bike zooms about. The guards fire at it in panic, but seem to miss. The bike passes where Aya was and hits the teleporter. Lorelei is tossed and vanishes in the teleporter while the bike spins out
<DeathStar> 6* Ao answers the comm. "You want us to hold on leaving because a child might be on PAX. There are dozens of children on PAX."
<Chad`Winters> Chip, where'd that teleport go to? 6He sprints for the teleporter now.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Cheryl and Chii's child is on the ship.
<DeathStar> <CHIP> It was an error teleporter. It will take time to check it
<DeathStar> <Ao> Well, that is irresponsible. I suppose that is why she keeps sending red flagged messages
<Chii> 6Dawn checks over Aya, then stares at the bike crashed out in the teleporter.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya pushes herself up. "Isn't that... Dad's bike...?"
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> You tell that to her. 6He moves over to Aya and Dawn and explains to Aya what's going on.
<DeathStar> <Aya> How did she even get the bike turned on?
<Chii> 6Dawn tilts his head, trying to picture Chad on a bike-- zoned out
<Chad`Winters> Not a clue.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* YZ hides her face in her hands as Cheryl gets the shuttle powered up. She begins to mumble something about Cole and fires.
* Tabetha sits in the shuttle, hair still a bit damp, in a clean uniform.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> She's on the ship alright. 6* She notes flatly at Chad's message, tossing it to Chii to tell him to hold onto her for them
<DeathStar> 6* JOhn rubs the back of his head.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias sits quietly in the back. 1"Well atleast we know where she is."
<DeathStar> <John> Maybe I should stay here to guard the base? 6* Cheryl eyes him dangerously
<Tabetha> * Ariel nods a little. "Chad will be able to keep her safe till we arrive, won't he?"
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon rocks side to side worriedly as Cheryl gets the autopilot set to fly them up to the station
<Chii> 6Chii finishes writing Chad to take care of her, that they're on their way.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I can't believe this is happening again. 6* She mutters, a haunted look in her face, as if she's thinking of something upsetting
* Tabetha fixes her hair back and frowns with worry. "I hope little Lorelei is fine..."
<Chii> <Chii> Again?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It'll be fine Cheryl. We'll get her back safe and sound
<Chii> 6Chii slowly peers at Cheryl. 1"Lore's disappeared before?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses, then shakes her head at Chii. "No. She hasn't."
<Chii> 6Chii blinks, then jerks, peering out the window since she realizes what Cheryl's getting at.
<Chii> <Chii> Lore's not kidnapped, Cherry. She wandered off. She'll be fine.
<Tabetha> * Ariel looks down, getting it as well.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers straight ahead. "I'm still putting a bell on her, a tracker and GPS signal, and a leash. You like leashes. I'm getting her a leahs." 6* She mutters
<Chii> <Chii> Uh--" 6She hangs her head, sighing.
<Tabetha> Ariel> "Mmm, it may be a good idea to teach her some self defense when she's older too."
<Chii> <Chii> I planned on it." 6She mumbles.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes PAX as it comes into sight, then sends her ID. "We already decided you were going to teach her swords and Chii was going to teach her ninja stuff."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias frowns a bit, thinking about Kaleb now
<Chii> <Chii> Lore watches me do my morning routines a lot as is.
<Tabetha> Ariel> "Mmm? Silly me, of course."
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina's bar. Katrina polishes the bar, peering out. She sets down a glass of milk for a customer
<Chii> <Elwyn> Nhhyaaa.. I want to go see Aunt Cherry and Chiichan again...
<Tabetha> * Leyaeh sits at the bar with her burger, eyes shifting left and right.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Enjoyed your visit, then?
<Chii> <Elwyn> Yeah!
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh, I heard Iceheart and Freyja will be arriving back on PAX in another day or two
<DeathStar> 6* Elwyn would sense a powerful Kitsune nearby in the bar - somewhere.
<Chii> <Elwyn> E-Eh..? Really? I wonder if she's back early..
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hm?
<Chii> <Elwyn> Well, usually I don't these days, but there's a spirit nearby with quite a whallop. Could only imagine it's Freyja.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Can't be her - they were going to meet us near the Cartel system. That's 2 days away
<DeathStar> <KAtrina> Ice said something about needing to stop there to do some things
<Tabetha> * Leyaeh peers over, swallowing some burger.
<DeathStar> 6* Someone jerks, making a noise when their glass of milk is tipped over, claiming a giant rat did it. People begin to make a commotion and get to their feet; suddenly, Athena runs out, knocking stools over, looking for the rat
<Tabetha> Leyaeh> "More rats? I though Carmichael took care of the one living here."
<Chii> <Elwyn> Then... who the heck? It couldn't be Chii. There's really not many spirits left around..
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... 6* She sighs, trying to assure customers there are no rats.
<Chii> <Elwyn> Oy! Athena, careful!!
<DeathStar> 6* More people begin to make noise, claiming a baby that looks like a dog just went under their table
<DeathStar> 6* Athena looks left, then right, then runs for the table to look under it, making people slap down credits and leave
<Tabetha> * Leyaeh frowns. "Makes sense... we scan cargo for biosignatures... shouldn't be any more pests getting on board. Wait... A BABY!?"
<Chii> <Elwyn> Inugami?" 6She blinks. 1"Might explain the strength." 6She hops the counter and moves after Athena.
<DeathStar> <Woman 2> That wasn't a dog. It was fox ears and tail. Geeze, you Cartel people know nothing about animals.
<Tabetha> * Leyaeh sighs and gets up. "Lost kids are almost double the paperwork..."
<DeathStar> 6* Athena points at a fuzzy tail that can briefly be seen going out of the bar and into the market plaza.
<DeathStar> <Woman 1> Who ever heard of a baby with any sort of animal ears or tail?
<Chii> <Elwyn> Eh? Gold?
<Tabetha> * Leyaeh peers at it and follows it out towards the plaza. "Hey... you... foxbaby! Hold it!"
<Chii> 6Elwyn peers over at the woman, looking annoyed, then puts a hand on her hip and lets her ears and tails show. 1"Problem with it?"
<DeathStar> 6* The woman jerks, making a strangled noise, then hurries out. Katrina grabs her comm, contacting security. Ao cuts in. "You saw Lorelei? I'll let Chad know." 6* She sends a message to Chad
<DeathStar> 6* Up ahead, Leyaeh would see Lorelei weaving in and out of people as she moves to the tram station
* Chad`Winters steps off the telepad in the bar a moment later. 1"Which way did she go?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Leyaeh is following her. Catch up to her outside - to the right
* Chad`Winters nods and he moves out of the bar quickly and down the right, his eyes searching frantically for Leyeah and Lorelei
<Tabetha> * Leyaeh rushes after the baby. "Oh jeez, she's headed to the trains!"
<Tabetha> *trams
<Chii> <Elwyn> L-Lorelei!?
<DeathStar> 6* Athena scrambles after Leyaeh. "MErowl! Lore! Lore!"
<Chii> 6Elwyn makes a strangled noise and runs out after Athena again.
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei gets lost in the crowd of people getting onto the tram
* Chad`Winters breaks into a full sprint as he weaves through people and upto the trams. He hits his ear. 1"Ao, I need you freeze the tram systems."
<Tabetha> * Leyaeh frowns as she makes her way towards the tram, peering with her sharp eyes to try and catch a glimpse of her again, moving to get on it herself. "This isn't good... too many people."
<Chii> 6Elwyn passes Chad doing that, just trying to shove and cram herself into the people getting on
<DeathStar> 6* The tram doors shut right as they get to it and begins to move off.
<DeathStar> <Ao> You want me ot freeze all the tram systems? 6* She asks incrdulously. "That'll take a few minutes. There's dozens of them."
<Tabetha> Leyaeh> *grabs her comm* "CHIP! STOP THAT TRAM!"
<Chii> 6Elwyn growls, leaping to try and grab the railings on the outside
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Not point in it right now. I want you to track...6He lists off the tram car that pulled off. 1"I need to know it's next stop.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena stares with wide eyes as Elwyn grabs onto the tram as it speeds up faster than a bullet train
<Chad`Winters> 6He taps his comm again. 1"Aya, I need you to try and reconfigure the internal sensors to look for Lorelei.
<Tabetha> * Leyaeh rubs the back of her head. "You could try tracking our foxgirl too, since she... wow."
<DeathStar> <Ao> Hmm. CHIP says it goes to the Poor Zone
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Use my DNA and Freyja's if you don't have access to Cheryl or Chii's.
<Chii> 6Elwyn makes a face, letting herself slip to the back, where there shouldn't be windresistance/turbulence to knock her off, but holds on for dear life.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya speaks on the comm. "We've been trying but we can't detect her for some reason."
<Tabetha> * Leyaeh smacks her forehead. "Right, we take the nearest teleporter." *she moves for it*
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue as he sprints back to the nearest telepad.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena paw pumps. "Ellie can do it!"
<DeathStar> 6* Then follows after Chad
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> It's probably because of her blood line.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<Chii> 6Elwyn shrieks in morbid fright in response-
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets off the shuttle in the hanger, running into Erevis in captain's uniform, her hair in a ponytail; apparantly missing children brings her to the conflict
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps down and peers at everything
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Ao has informed me Lorelei Mizukaze is headed for the Poor Zone. Follow me.
<DeathStar> 6* John looks out, peering left, then right
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves for a teleporter pad, and Cheryl, Lemon, and YZ hurry along
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves along quickly now
* Tabetha and Ariel get off, heading after Erevis as well.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You have an area called...the Poor Zone . 6* She notes flatly
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. Unfortunately.
<Chii> <Chii> It's only natural on any place that has money.
<Tabetha> Ariel> "It seems a rather blunt name."
* Tabetha pouts a little. "Do the Poor Zone people need help?"
<DeathStar> <ERevis> Yes. Tiny Kitten goes there often with food and sings.
<DeathStar> 6 *Erevis steps on a pad and picks the closest area to the tram system once they're all on. They'd find themselves in a damp, humid area, and the lighting here isn't nearly as good and prestine
<Tabetha> "That sounds nice! Is Tiny Kitten... Miss Athena?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That is right
<Chii> <Chii> Yeah. They have pet names for each other. Like I call Cheryl Cherry.
<Tabetha> "I like her, she sings good."
<Tabetha> "Like how Miss Key calls me Tabby?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks around.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods to Chad and Athena, who are waiting near the tram which is arriving; the doors open and people flood out like Japanese out of a tuna can
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts, using the bond - Chii, if she tried, too, could feel their child, faintly, admist the people moving
<Tabetha> * Leyaeh stands with Chad and Athena, she watches people exiting, hoping to spot a baby fox.
* Chad`Winters seems to have a distant look his eyes darting a bit as he looks for something specific
<Chii> 6Elwyn can still be heard screaming.
<DeathStar> 6* YZ peers down low at the ground trying to see the baby; Lemon runs over and bows to people politely, asking if they have seen a baby. Athena bounds over ot Elwyn, then paw pumps.
<Tabetha> * Tabetha rubs her ears. "Is the suffering in this area that great?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves quickly towards the tram
<DeathStar> <Athena> Ellie superhero!
<Tabetha> * Ariel tries to locate the baby too.
<Chii> <Elwyn> AIEEEeee--- ... wow. That was awesome.
<DeathStar> 6* The tram slowly empties out. YZ hurries into it and looks around, then leans out. "Empty!"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias tenses briefly when Athena says taht.
<Chii> 6Chii shifts, trying to cover escape routes.
<Chad`Winters> She must've latched onto someones back.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... she is definitely with those people. 6 *She follows after people
<Chii> 6Elwyn steps off the tram, dizzy-- and collapses
<DeathStar> 6* Athena licks Elwyn's face, then bounds after the others
<Chii> 6Chii jerks, then jogs to begin examining amongst the crowd getting off and away
<Tabetha> * Leyaeh twitches an ear and follows the crowd.
* Chad`Winters turns, moving to walk along Cheryl, glancing at her. 1"Chip can't seem to scan her, somethings blocking it. But we'll find her, Cheryl."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias turns and moves after the crowd, moving through it as he looks around for Lorelei
<Tabetha> * Ariel moves after her daughter, hoping to sense out the baby herself.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes someone with a bundle and grabs them, jerking them from the crowd; the person glares, then shivers at her look and cowers
<DeathStar> 6* The man drops the bundle, nd inside is some vegetables
* Chad`Winters checks the bundle quickly.
<Chad`Winters> Sorry, we're looking for her daughter. 6He moves Cheryl on
<Tabetha> * Leyaeh shakes her head and continues to look around.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tch. 6* She goes back to looking, then turns, spotting a fuzzy tail as it moves into an open vent. "LORELEI!"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rushes to the vent and tries to reach in, but it's too small for her. Her hands swipes air
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Goddammit!!
<Tabetha> Leyaeh> "Why is that even open!"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I apologize. The people dismantle things down here for shelter
* Chad`Winters jerks to look that way and he pulls his datapad out and brings up the schematics to track the vent
<Chii> <Chii> Lemme see if I fit?
<DeathStar> 6* Athena peers, then wiggles in
<Chii> 6Chii tries to follow Athena
<DeathStar> <Erevis> T-Tiny Kitten, becareful!!
<Tabetha> Leyaeh> "Great... more stolen ship parts to report."
<DeathStar> 6* If she is a waif like Athena/Megumi, Chii could follow
* Tabetha frowns and watches them go. "Perhaps we should find out where the vent goes?"
<Chii> 6Chii starts-- then pauses. Then whines and wiggles her rear outside the vent. 1"Awh, damn it!"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Do not bother them down here; they have little as it is. The ship will not fall apart. 6* Seh moves over; the complex vent system stretches out; some even leads to the engines, since they are near the cores
<Chii> <Chii> Maybe before, but since I inherited bigger boobs from you, Cherry, I don't fit!
<DeathStar> 6* YZ eyes Chii, then grabs her tail and pulls her out
<Chii> 6Chii squeals, then pops out, looking embarassed and rubbing her tail
<Tabetha> Leyaeh> "I won't of course... still need to file what we're missing."
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue and he taps his comm. 1"Aya, I need you to start closing off the vents to these areas. 6He starts listing off the ones that lead to the engines first
<DeathStar> <Aya on Comm> Right away.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> This is a bad place to get lost in the ventalization system. We are undernearth the engine cores.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Have Chip try and look for any heat differences in the vent. 6He looks at Erevis. 1"That's why I'm having Aya lock the vents
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon hugs Chii, looking upset
<Tabetha> Ariel> "Tell me she's not too fast..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl twitches, closes her eyes and runs along some hallways and out of sight
* Chad`Winters turns and sprints after Cheryl
<Tabetha> * Ariel runs after Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lets out a breath, then follows
<Tabetha> * Leyaeh twitches and ear. "Tch... how'd this even happen..."
* Tabetha heads after Erevis, as does Leyaeh.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias frowns and he breaks off into a sprint to keep up
<Chii> 6Chii nudgets Lemon and drags her to follow
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl runs her hands along the hallway walls, then looks up. She grabs Chad's datapad for a map, then runs and finds some stairs, moving up a floor
<DeathStar> <YZ> How .... is she even...climbing straight up?
* Chad`Winters doesn't stop her and he shifts to run up the stairs.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon hurries along as well
<Chii> <Chii> I don't know-- how'd she get out of the mansion?
<Tabetha> * Ariel, Tabby, and Leyaeh hurry along after her, Tabetha looking around as she moves in wonder.
<DeathStar> 6* Eventually, they find themselves at a security checkpoint into engineering. Cheryl growls at the officer
<Chii> <Chii> I mean, I get that we can't keep her cribbed to save our lives, but still.. mansion security? Motion sensors?!
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Move or I move you
<Chad`Winters> Move. She's with me.
<Tabetha> * Leyaeh waves. "And me."
<DeathStar> 6* The officer eyes Chad, then pauses, recognizing Leyaeh - they step aside
<DeathStar> 6* One guard eyes the other. "Did you know him?" <OFficer 2> I think he's a janitor.
* Chad`Winters eyes the officer that he doesn't know the head engineer and he sprints after Cheryl
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves on and Erevis follows; the guards comment on why a youngin' like her is down here
<Chii> <Chii> Youngin'?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis puffs her cheeks
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias sprints past the security checkpoint
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I run this ship. 6* The officers just nod politely, and she follows, twitching
<Tabetha> * Leyaeh shakes her head and moves after them, Tabetha hops after the group while Ariel eyes the guards before moving on.
<DeathStar> 6* As they enter after more climbing and stairs, they arrive in the engineering section. They can see Isis whistling and shaking some meat.
<Chii> <Chii> Now that you mention, you do look like you've lost a couple years. Not like that lolita wife of yours or the kids, but still. Lookin' good.
<Tabetha> * Ariel facefaults at the idea of luring her granddaughter like a common pet.
* Chad`Winters looks at Isis. 1"I'm guessing you found a fox child."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances around. Isis squeaks and turns around
<DeathStar> <Isis> O-Oh. Yes. I saw something move by, and Athena went after it, merowling about having milk. They went that way. 6* She points at a door
<Chad`Winters> Cheryl. 6He me turns and sprints towards the door
<Tabetha> * Leyaeh sighs a bit and heads over to the door.
<DeathStar> <Isis> Welcome back, Mister Winters.
<Chii> Wow. Lore really gets around..
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks in - and notices an old pad in the back.
<Tabetha> * Tabetha waves at Isis and runs after her fearless leader.
* Chad`Winters peers at the old pad and moves to it.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis crosses her arms. "How many teleporters does this ship have..."
<Tabetha> Leyaeh> "Too many... and they're hard to map out."
<Chad`Winters> Chip, bring up the last teleport to point for this pad.
<DeathStar> <CHIP> Doing so. The garden
<Tabetha> * Leyaeh facepalms.
<Chii> <Chii> Aw man, that place is huge.
<Tabetha> Leyaeh> "Damn she's good."
* Chad`Winters moves onto it
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps on it without a word, hitting the button
<Chii> <Chii> Freyja knows it best, right? Where's she at?
<Tabetha> * Leyaeh and Tabetha step on, Ariel after them.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis, YZ, and Lemon get on it next. <Erevis> Freyja is off the ship right now."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves to step on when he can
<DeathStar> 6* After a moment, they arrive in the garden; they can see Cheryl talking to Zephyr, who is holding Iko and Ako
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah, I can feel out Athena. Give me a moment.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shifts to hand Ako and Iko to Chad, then closes her eyes, trying to get distance from Ako
<Tabetha> * Tabetha hops over, delighted at the sight of more little ones.
<Chii> <Chii> She can... feel out Athena?
<DeathStar> 6* YZ eyes the other Zephyr with a sniff, peering to the side
* Chad`Winters holds the kids
<Tabetha> Leyaeh> "I don't question these things anymore."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I asked if she could, since I can feel Lorelei.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr mmmms, then points in a direction. "I think that way." 6* Erevis steps over to take the two form Chad, even as they begin to ask him what he brought them
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias comes to a stop, waving to Zephyr
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grunts and moves in that direction - right for trees
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hey, Dias. 6* She smiles, then jerks to follow
* Chad`Winters nods to Erevis then sprints after Cheryl
<Tabetha> Ariel> "Mmm... it's like a quality of mine rubs off on my daughters." *she heads after Cheryl*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias chases after them all again
<DeathStar> 6* After a bit, they reach a pond. Athena lays face down on the ground, panting
<Tabetha> * Tabetha races after them.
<Chii> <Chii> Athena? What happened?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... Wow. Are you telling me a baby out ran you? <Athena> MErowl....not enough...power. 6* She hangs her head in shame
<Tabetha> * Leyaeh grumbles and races over to pull her up gently. "That kid's fast... way too fast."
<Chad`Winters> Clearly she takes more after Chii then either thought
<DeathStar> <Erevis> There are only three teleporters in the garden. She will not escape this time.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl clicks her tongue, and moves in a direction after a moment.
* Chad`Winters turns and sprints after Cheryl, along with the Dias.
<Tabetha> Leyaeh> "Let's split up and guard them just in case? Or turn them off?"
<Chii> <Chii> M-Me? Cherry catches me all the time..
<Tabetha> * Tabetha squeaks and runs after Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* After an hour of saying that, they stand at the far wall, where a panel is opened up. Erevis stares
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Who would even know about this secret passage...?
<Chad`Winters> I did.
<Tabetha> Leyaeh> "...I... I'm recruiting this kid for security when she's of age, Cheryl. Damn."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am referring to anyone besides us
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks troubled. Cheryl pokes her head in. "Where does it go?"
<Chad`Winters> Outside the ship.
<Tabetha> * Tabetha tilts her head, peering at it.
<Chad`Winters> Near the command tower.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks, and moves through it quickly
<Tabetha> * Ariel slowly looks over at Chad.
<Chii> 6Chii reels and scrambles after Cheryl
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Do you feed this baby candy every day?
* Chad`Winters rubs his face and he resumes chasing
<Tabetha> * Ariel moves in after Cheryl and Chii.
<DeathStar> <YZ> Of course not. 6* She follows
<Tabetha> Tabetha> "Ms. Cheryl does not let her have sugar."
<Tabetha> * Tabetha moves in after them.
<DeathStar> 6* They reach a hatch that leads outside. And it's opened. Cheryl steps through, moving along the dome; above them is Earth, and near is the command tower. Up ahead, they can see Lorelei reaching up at the planet and cooing
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Christ. 6* Seh runs over and grabs Lorelei, scooping her up and falling to her knees, panting
* Chad`Winters taps Cheryl and points as he runs
<Tabetha> * Tabetha holds up a peace sign. "Mission accomplished!"
<Chii> <Chii> Looks like you win, Cherry.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis frowns in thought, peering back at the hatch, and the nearby command tower. Athena merowls from on Leyaeh's back, where she was riding
* Chad`Winters glances at Erevis when he catches the frown. 1"Somethings on your mind."
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei waggles her tail innocently, looking overly excited. Cherl begins to shout, when she pauses as Lorelei goes Mama!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's expression softens, then she begins to actually cry
<Tabetha> * Leyaeh peers back at her. "You alright back there kiddo?"
<Chii> <Chii> Heh!
* Chad`Winters looks at Cheryl and he moves over, putting a hand on her shoulder
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stares awkwardly, then peers to Erevis. Erevis pauses, and moves over to pet Athena's ear as she watches the scene
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes in a breath sob. "S-Sorry."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias peers at them then looks upwards at the Earth
<Chad`Winters> It's alright, Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* YZ glances up. "What a view, at least."
<Tabetha> * Ariel smiles warmly and moves over to Cheryl. "It's alright Cheryl... you got her back."
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei then proceeds to chomp at Cheryl's breasts looking for good; Cheryl jerks, then hands her to Chii
<Chii> <Chii> ..." 6she deadpans, holding Lorelei at arm's length
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei's ears droop and she begins to whine
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl wipes at her face.
<Chii> <Chii> No one look!!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Mmmm. Come to my place and you can feed her there and rest before returning
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Another hour will not matter at this point, I believe
<Tabetha> * Leyaeh sighs and looks up at the Earth. "This is a nice spot..."
* Chad`Winters squeezes her shoulder. 1"If you want, I've got a way to help track her if this happens again."
<Chii> 6Chii flees back into the panelling to let Lorelei have her way, embarassed.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Y-Yeah? A GPS collar?
<Tabetha> Tabetha> "Tracking chip!"
<Tabetha> Ariel> "All of the above?"
<Chad`Winters> Something a bit better.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon peers into the hallway to watch Chii feed, and YZ leans in a moment later, too.
<Chii> <Chii> H-Hey!!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias reaches his hand towards the Earth, a distant look on his face
<DeathStar> 6* The Earth blows up from his mighty reach.
<DeathStar> 6* But not really.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She straightens her shoulders a bit. "Yeah, what is it?"
* Chad`Winters pulls out his datapad. 1"It's the same tracer I use on myself and Aya incase something ever happens to us. I update it ever so many years out of paranoia but I'm about 20 some years ahead of myself thanks to my suit on this one." 6He shifts out a small datachip and holds it to Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes it, nodding
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sets down a plate of cookies for everyone. "Kitten made these." 6 *Zephyr jerks and begins to wave her hands warningly to people
<Tabetha> * Leyaeh is back in security, crying over the huge report this will have spawned.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leans back with Lorelei, eyes closed
<Tabetha> * Ariel peers at the cookies.
<Chii> 6Megumi does the same as Zephyr in the background
<Tabetha> * Tabetha grabs one and chomps happily.
<Chii> <Chii> Don't mind if I do--" 6She pauses as Tabetha grabs it first and eyes her
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis leans in with a smile. Tabetha would begin to feel pain unlike any other. Cookies will never be right to her again.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias sits in a chair. 1"I'm not hungry, but thanks tho."
<Tabetha> * Tabetha whimpers and falls out of her chair.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... is something wrong?
<Tabetha> Tabetha> "...It hurts..."
* Chad`Winters looks over at YZ. 1"So it was your idea to send my bike to PAX."
<DeathStar> <John> Mmmm. 6* He eyes the cookies, then Tabetha. "Hey, Dias, if you can eat these cookies and not fall over, it'll make you stronger."
<DeathStar> <YZ> Uh...yeah...
<Chii> 6Megumi looks to the side, depressed.
<Tabetha> * Jennifer steps in as if on que, still in her uniform from work, she peers at everyone and waves. "Oh... great, who brought me work home?" *she smiles and kneels down to start treating Tabetha for poisoning*
<DeathStar> 6* Iko and Ako eye the cookies from the floor; one cookie slides off the plate and into Iko's hands
<Chii> 6Chii slowly sits back, second guessing her desire of the cookies.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at John, then the cookies, then Tabetha, then John again
<DeathStar> <John> Think of them like a wall
<Chii> 6Megumi takes the cookie from Iko-- handing her a store-bought.
<Chii> <Chii> A pain-inducing, self-proclaimed edible wall..
<DeathStar> 6* Iko splits it with Ako and the two eat happily. Erevis frowns and takes one of Megumi's cookies, opening her mouth to bite it
<Tabetha> Jennifer> "Oh... NGD..." *she puts down her scanner and starts treating her* "With luck you heal fast... poor thing."
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin slowly rises up to watch Erevis closely.
<Tabetha> * Ariel watches quietly, sitting back and looking relieved still.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias rubs the back of his head slightly. 1"That's it? Sounds easy." 6He moves to start eating them
<Chii> <Megumi> Beloved! No!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will eat Kitten's cookies. 6* She says simply, her tone leaving no room for agument
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias takes it from Erevis mouth and quickly shoves it into his mouth.
<Chii> <Chii> Uh-- who's the shorty?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes Dias, then takes another cookie stubbornly
<Chad`Winters> Nice intentions. 6He gives her a smile
<Chii> <Megumi> You can eat my --cookie, instead, beloved. Just. upstairs.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias graabs that one and shoves it in his mouth
<Chii> 6Chii eyes the two, then Cheryl
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head. "Why there?" 6* Zephyr groans, then eyes Dias in awe as he takes on two cookies
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl, still asleep, is Loreleiless
<Tabetha> * Jennifer looks up and rubs her head a little. "She'll be fine... but... I'm afraid she may never want a cookie again."
<DeathStar> <John> Whoa... I--- you are... a man among men
<Chii> <Megumi> You will see--" 6Leads her upstairs.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis follows along, looking confused
<Tabetha> Tabetha> "The horror... Ms. Doctor... I won't?"
<Chii> <Chii> Lore?" 6She starts looking around
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias starts shoving the other cookies into his mouth now
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin watches Dias in awe. 1How is he not dead!?
* Chad`Winters peers up from YZ and looks at Cheryl
<DeathStar> 6* John takes his own "MaM" award from his pocket and hands it to Dias - right before Dias passes out
<Tabetha> Jennifer> "Dias is made of strong--- oh, no, he's just too..."
<DeathStar> 6* YZ jerks. "S-She's gone again?"
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin slides over and starts poking Dias.
<Tabetha> * Jennifer frowns, "A little too slow to realize he's dying. More work for me." *she moves over to check on him and treat him*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias doesn't move
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr takes what remains of the cookies and dumps them in a trash.
<Tabetha> * Jennifer scans him with her datapad. "Or he might be dead already."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias is all X.X
* Chad`Winters starts looking around quickly as he stands up now
<DeathStar> 6* Athena sits by Dias and looks sad. "Superhero saved mom. Will remember sacrifice."
<Tabetha> Ariel> "...Not again..."
<Chii> <Chii> Looore!?" 6She whines, then shakes Cheryl
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks awake. "W-What?"
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin glances left and then right before smiling and running out, coming back in with markers. 1Ako. Iko. Color!? 6He sits down by Dias and starts pulling markers out of their case.
<DeathStar> 6* Ako and Iko move over to get markers
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias belches loudly, sending cookie pieces at Kellin's face
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin jerks and makes a face, then promptly falls over.
<Tabetha> * Jennifer pauses and sighs. She gets up. "He's still Dias."
<DeathStar> 6* From upstairs. "That is not a cookie, Kitten - though it is much sweeter."
<DeathStar> 6* YZ begins to look in the living room
<Chii> <Megumi> Hey! Quieter!
* Chad`Winters moves to the front door quickly
<Tabetha> Tabetha> "Where is Ms. Lorelei..."
<Chii> <Chii> Lore's gone missing again!" 6She sniffles.
<DeathStar> 6* As Chad looks outside, he'd see Lemon holding Lorelei as she swats at butterflies with giggles. Cheryl jerks and rushes outside, then relaxes
<Chad`Winters> It's alright, Cheryl. Lemon has her.
<DeathStar> 68 Lorelei then bites a butterfly, munching on it; Lemon jerks, then pales.
<Chii> <Chii> .." 6She turns colours at watching her eat a bug.
<Tabetha> Jennifer> "They never get far in this house..." *she moves out after the others, she smiles, then slowly opens her mouth as Lore eats the bug*
* Chad`Winters moves oover to Lorelei and kneels down to pick her up.
<Chad`Winters> Come on, lil' girl.
<Tabetha> Jennifer> "...I-I think that species is safe."
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon pauses, letting Chad take Lorelei from her.
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei smiles, wagging her tail
<Chad`Winters> Was it tasty? 6He gives Lemon a smile
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... huh. She ate a bug. Is that a kitsune thing or a baby thing?
<Tabetha> * Ariel steps out, sighing. "So, that tracking thing, how soon?"
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon looks more ill
<Chii> <Chii> I don't remember eating bugs...
<Tabetha> Jennifer> "Infants have been known to eat all sorts of things."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Aya used to eat the weirdest things
<Chad`Winters> She did.
<Chii> <Chii> Really? Like what?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well... one time when you were asleep, she ate on your tail
<Chii> 6Chii jerks, eyeing her tail tip.
<Tabetha> Jennifer> "That could just be affection..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> But Ako and Iko eat a lot of strange things, too.
<Chii> <Chii> I-It's okay precious. I'll give you an extra combing tonight..
<Tabetha> Jennifer> "She really is a cutie. Better in real life then pictures."
<Chad`Winters> You shouldn't worry your mothers like that, you'll give them wrinkles.
<Chad`Winters> And grey hair.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek appears on the teleporter pad, moving towards the house, wearing his tan slacks, light blue button up, and a dark sports coat. He pauses at those in the yard and tilts his head. 1Didn't know Cheryl was comin up anytime soon.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Fun fact, Aya ate all of Drasek's hair when she was a toddler.
<Tabetha> Jennifer> "That explains the baldness..."
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Right nasty hairball. 6He brings a hand to his head.
* Chad`Winters rolls his eyes at Zephyr
<Chii> <Chii> M-My hair's white..
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Does the carpet match the drapes? 6* She asks Chii curiously. YZ makes a groan
<Chii> <Chii> Yes. When I have some.
<DeathStar> <YZ> What does that even mean?
* Chad`Winters bounces Lorelei a bit, looking genuinely happy for once.
<Chad`Winters> You don't want to know, YZ.
<Tabetha> * Ariel shakes her head. "It's better you don't know."
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei giggles. Cheryl crosses her arms, leaning back
<Chii> 6Chii peers at YZ, snorting.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Well y'see little zee. The drapes is-
<Tabetha> * Ariel gives Drasek... the eye.
<Chii> 6Chii draws a kunai, levelling it at Drasek with narrowed eyes.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Ohhhh. Did you know Cheryl's favorite color is white?
<Chii> <Chii> I-- I don't want her thinking about my drapes..
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek pauses and coughs, adjusting his coat. 1Well now. Don't be so touchy.
<Chii> <Chii> Really? Erevis' favorite colour is white, too.
<DeathStar> <YZ> Why would I think about your drapes? Or is this some sort of sex innuedo?
<Chad`Winters> It is.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> We decided to take down the drapes in our room. Not a piece of linen anywhere 'round.
<Chii> 6Chii covers YZ's mouth, blushing.
<DeathStar> 6* YZ hmmphs
<DeathStar> <Iko> Sex! <Ako> Endo!
<Tabetha> * Ariel sighs and rubs her forehead.
<Tabetha> Jennifer> "Don't worry, it's inevitable here."
* Chad`Winters shifts Lorelei back over to Lemon
<Chii> <Chii> Haa. The one that grows up unable to say penis just said sex first.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... Now that you mention it...
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek pauses and kneels. 1Hiya kiddos. 6He smiles at Ako and Iko.
<DeathStar> 6* Ako and Iko wave and begin to search Drasek for treats
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Then again, Aya was bolder as a child, if I remember
<Chii> <Chii> Probably just curious, that one.
<Chad`Winters> She was.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek lets out a laugh, pulling out a chocolate bar, tilting his head slightly. 1Y'll share, right?
<Tabetha> Jennifer> "Mmm... I think we're all a little bolder when we're younger... less to make us timid."
<DeathStar> 6* They nod and Iko splits it in half
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr squints at Jennifer
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek smiles and pats their heads, standing up. 1I'm not timid. Must be cause I'm still a younglin.
<Chii> 6Chii snorts.
<Tabetha> * Jennifer rubs the back of her head and smiles. Watching the kids.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Timid. You. There's a difference between perverted and bold.
<DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr eyes Drasek
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Doubt that love.
<Tabetha> * Tabetha hops over and lands on the ground next to Ako and Iko. "Wanna see magic trick?"
<DeathStar> 6* YZ peers at Iko, then Ako, then at Lorelei, then eyes Ariel
<DeathStar> <YZ> You ever plan to have more kids?
<DeathStar> 6* Ako and Iko make a noise, then pause, nodding
<Tabetha> Ariel> "I--- I... have plenty already... were you hoping for little siblings?"
<DeathStar> 6* Isis walks up to wave at everyone.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek gives Zephyr an innocent smile before sliding over to grab Isis in a big hug, lifting her off the ground.
<Tabetha> * Tabetha giggles and holds out her hands, making two stuffed kitties appear in her hands, she holds one out to each.
<DeathStar> <YZ> Me? I was just thinking. For someone with so many kids, you only hang out with two of them
<DeathStar> 6* Isis makes a startled noise, looking embarrassed. "Uncle D-Drasek."
<DeathStar> 6* Iko and Ako's eyes buldge as they take them
* Chad`Winters studies YZ for a bit
<Tabetha> * Ariel nods a bit. "Perhaps we should take a trip out and see the others."
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek smiles. 1Sorry Is. 6He sets her down.
<DeathStar> <YZ> Mmmm, not saying that. Just wondering if you ever plan to have your own youngin'. Darien's pretty fertile, I bet.
<Tabetha> * Tabetha giggles. "See! Magic!"
<DeathStar> 6* YZ grins mischeviously
<DeathStar> 6* Isis gives him a smile, and hugs his arm, then blinks at the baby talk
<Tabetha> * Ariel stammers a little. "I... I... perhaps." *she looks like something's on her mind*
<Chii> <Chii> Hey-- Tab, that's not fair.
<DeathStar> <YZ> And you, Cheryl, plan to give Lorelei a brother or sister? 6* Cheryl jerks. <Cheryl> Probably not. <YZ> W-Why?
<Chad`Winters> I thnk you just don't want to be the youngest anymore. 6He teases YZ
<Tabetha> * Tabetha looks up innocently. "Not fair?"
<Chii> <Chii> Where's Lore's?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I want to make sure I can give Lorelei all my attention and love really. I hear kids get jealous if they think attention is divided.
<Tabetha> * Tabetha considers, like she's going through and internal list. "...Doggie or dragon stuffie?"
<DeathStar> <YZ> HMph.
<DeathStar> 6* YZ eyes Chad
<DeathStar> 6* The two kids lean in more, and feel Tabethan up to see where she hides stuff
<Chii> <Chii> Dragon! Then it's like she's hugging Phi and miniphi.
* Chad`Winters smiles at her
<Tabetha> * Tabetha giggles and nods, she looks down at the babies. "It's a secret!"
<DeathStar> <Isis> Hmmm. I do not think Mommas attention or love is ever divided amongst us. 6* She tells Cheryl thoughtfully.
<DeathStar> <Isis> Though Athena might get more attention usually, it is because she is always getting into trouble. 6* She sighs a bit, though it's a fond on
<Tabetha> Jennifer> "Heh... kids." *she mumbles after a bit, having gone quiet*
<Chad`Winters> Cheryl will have another when he's ready, I think.
<Chii> <Chii> I-- I don't want to give birth again.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> I hope it's a boy...and it comes out bald. 6He gives Cheryl a wink.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis peers to the side where Athena is dragging Chad and Kellin along
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I-- what... the hell...does that mean?
<Tabetha> Jennifer> "You could always hire a surrogate mother. You know, someone to carry the baby to term for you."
<Chii> 6Chii purses her lips, hrmphing. 1"I'm happy with what I got."
<DeathStar> <YZ> Cheryl can get pregnant again. 6* She notes. Her looks says she hopes Cheryl does it one day, which would mean she's moving on after losing Ben
<Chii> <Chii> They say having babies is kind of like the lottery-- well we fuckin' won the first time, okay?
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin is drug along with O_O eyes.
<Tabetha> Jennifer> "Just a suggestion."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias is drugged along with X_X eyes
<DeathStar> <Lemon> But imagine two cute babies with ears and tails!
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon swoons
<Tabetha> * Jennifer giggles.
<Chii> <Chii> And with our genetics..." 6She pales, envisioning a Cheryl-drunk version of herself at age six shooting up the neighborhood.
<Tabetha> Jennifer> "Lemon would be lost in the cute."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That right, Lemon. Hey, Chii, Lemon wants you to get her knocked up
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Y'know. I think I'd make a good dad. Would teach my boy to be able to shotgun a 40 by age 4.
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon jerks, then wisely gets quiet.
<Chii> <Chii> That might be fun. She fawns after Lori.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis giggles at Drasek suddenly
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon moves behind Chad and hides
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek pauses and glances at Isis, then smirks at her thinking he's funny.
<Chii> Of course it'd mean me having an illegitimate child with our maid, Cherry.
<Tabetha> * Jennifer giggles at Drasek.
* Chad`Winters glances back at Lemon, then shifts his hand to rest behind his neck
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers at Drasek, then glances down
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eh, rich people do it all the time
<Chad`Winters> And you are a rich person
<Tabetha> * Ariel rubs her forehead a bit. "...Would that make me a great grandmother already?"
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek puts his arm around Zephyr's shoulder, giving her a simple kiss on the cheek.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> But if you do plan to knock her up, do it before Kane marries her. Then she'll be off limits.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Whoa, you're marrying the President, Lemon? NIce.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers at Drasek, a small smile, then looks at Lemon
<Tabetha> Tabetha> "Lemon and Mr. President!" *she makes the dragon appear, holding it out to Lorelei*
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Does that mean you'll be First Lady Lemon?
<DeathStar> 6* Ako and Iko stare at Tabetha, then begins to pull her clothes off. Lorelei takes it and baps Chad's chest with it
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I--I--
<Tabetha> Jennifer> "Yes, she will!"
<Tabetha> * Tabetha eeps. "Help! Babies are stealing my clothes!"
* Chad`Winters peers down at Lorelei bapping his chest and he puts a hand to it, looking like he's hurt. 1"Oww you got me."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm so proud of her. I made her to dominate Chii and see if she could get some of Chii's sexual urges tame, and the next thing I know, she's ruling the planet.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> I-I will not be ruling the planet!
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Please luv, everyone knows the female is the boss of the relationship.
<Chii> 6Chii just stares at the escalation.
<Tabetha> Jennifer> *giggles* "Chris would probably do anything you say, Lemon."
<Chii> <Chii> Technically that means you'll rule the planet, Cheryl. You have her remote.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Remote!? Think I could get one of those for Zeph? I'd like more beer in bed.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm afraid I don't. I destroyed it a long time ago
<Tabetha> * Ariel eyes Drasek. "Don't even go there."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Drasek, deadpanned
<Xanatos> <Drasek> What?
<Chii> <Chii> Baaakaaa.
* Chad`Winters leans over to give Lorelei a kiss on the top of her head
<Tabetha> * Ariel stares at him. "Do I really need to say it?"
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei smiles and coos, then goes Maaaa at him. Then pauses, then thinks harder, and goes Chaaaa at him
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr snickers at the Maa line at first
* Chad`Winters smirks at that. 1"Chad."
<Tabetha> Tabetha> "That's it! Mama Chad!"
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Probably wouldn't hurt. Bit of a simple, dumb bloke, aren' I?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh, I'll give you beer in bed. 6* She smiles, way too innocently
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> In fact, sweetie, let me get you one now. 6* She skips off into the house
<DeathStar> <YZ> ... you're in for it.
<Tabetha> * Ariel sighs. "I'll just let her punish you. Think carefully."
<Chii> <Chii> Miniphi would know.
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei eyes Tabetha, then Chad, looking confused at Mama Chad
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rubs the back of her head, looking troubled as she watches Lorelei
<Tabetha> * Tabetha looks innocent and gives Lore the stuffed dragon.
<Chad`Winters> Just Chad.
<DeathStar> <Lorelei> Chaaaa-daaa
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek watches Zephyr go, then hmmms. 1She'll probably put those cookies in with it or somethin. 6He shudders.
* Chii leans in to Lorelei, smiling. 1"Baka Chad. Baaakaaa Chaaad."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr returns with an unopened can, handing it to him
<Chad`Winters> That a girl. 6He holds his hand out to her
<Tabetha> Tabetha> "Baka Chad?"
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei takes the hand, peering at Chii intently, then goes "Maaamaaa"
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek takes it and peers at it carefully. 1Aw. Right sweet of you, bit. 6He cracks it open.
<DeathStar> <Isis> She is very smart for her age.
<Chii> 6Chii pauses, then just sniffles and rubs faces with her.
<Chad`Winters> Nice try, Chii.
<DeathStar> 6* The beer splooshes up in his face
<Chii> <Chii> H-Hm?" 6She's forgotten.
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei nuzzles back happily
<Tabetha> * Jennifer snickers.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek licks his lips and makes a 'ah' sound. 1Delicious. 6He says, beer dripping off of his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Iko and Ako look up. Ako sniffles sadly that a baby can speak better than her, her ears drooping
<Tabetha> * Ariel shakes her head a bit and sighs. "Maybe he really didn't get it after all. That or he wisely takes his punishments. Are you training him properly Zephyr?"
* Chad`Winters smiles at the two and he reaches over, rubbing petting her head briefly, his love for kids and family present
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> 'careful, Cheryl might think it's perfume
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... training...him...? 6* She eyes Ariel
<Tabetha> Ariel> "Yes."
<Chii> <Chii> Yeah, why do you think Darien always comes back to her-- regardless of how bad she's blown him off?
<DeathStar> 6* Athena comes back by, then returns with a rope
<Tabetha> * Ariel sighs.
<Chii> <Chii> Training." 6She winks.
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei's ears perk happily at the petting. Cheryl snickers softly. <Cheryl> She likes you a lot, Chad
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Hmmm. 6He slowly leans towards Zephyr, as if he's going to dry his face on his shirt.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr leans back, then switches herself with YZ. YZ jerks.
<Tabetha> Ariel> "Mmm... I need to give him a call soon too." *she looks to the side absently*
<DeathStar> <YZ> What, hey, leave me out of this.
<Chad`Winters> Why wouldn't she?
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Yes! You should call him! Chris says he has looked depressed lately.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh, I can think of a few reasons. 6* She notes dryly.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek tilts his head. 1You kinda look like my bit. Wonder if y'got the same temper. 6He leans forward more.
<Tabetha> Ariel> "I'll call him when we get back to the Mansion then."
<DeathStar> <YZ> ... 6* She jerks back. "Chaaaaaad!!!"
<Chad`Winters> I'd love to...6He pauses to look at YZ then looks at Drasek. 1"Drasek."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Who needs a temper when she can sic Chad on you?
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Oh com'on then. What's with the tattlin. Bloody hell. 6He lets out a sigh.
<Tabetha> Ariel> "I suggest a newspaper, Zephyr."
<DeathStar> <YZ> I don't have a temper. Jeeze.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Big Zee does. She...she hits me. 6He whimpers out.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis quietly scans Lorelei
<DeathStar> <YZ> Then dump her.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... Hey!
<Tabetha> * Jennifer rolls her eyes. "Mighty progenitor..."
<Xanatos> <Drasek> But...I like it.
<Chad`Winters> He enjoys the abuse.
<DeathStar> <YZ> ... you.. .like it. 6* She repeats slowly
<DeathStar> <YZ> Men like being...hit?
<Tabetha> Jennifer> "Oh jeez."
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Most do. 6He nods.
<Chad`Winters> Don't get any ideas. 6He warns YZ
<DeathStar> <YZ> Well, you like me, and I hit you in the penis
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks lost a moment, then seems to recall something and guwaffs
<Tabetha> Ariel> "He's a bad influence. I---" *she stares at Chad*
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek snorts a laugh, then moves for the house to change and get de-beered.
* Chad`Winters sighs and he shifts to bop Cheryl
<DeathStar> 6* Athena runs over. "Come see Athena's art!"
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin comes crawling by, like a worm, since he's roped up.
<Tabetha> Jennifer> "Art, Sis?"
<DeathStar> 6* Athena tugs the rope again to redangle Kellin up in the tree beside Dias, so their faces are pressed together
<DeathStar> <Athena> Art!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chad, then eyes the tree
* Tabetha eyes it, taking pictures. "Excellent."
<Tabetha> * Jennifer does that
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin makes a face and squirms, having woken up too late.
* Chad`Winters eyes her back like a sibling would then peers to look at the "Art"
<Tabetha> * Tabetha hops over. "They look like they're kissing!"
<DeathStar> 6* Athena nods, pawing at them. "I call it Superhero Love"
<Xanatos> <Kellin> HE SMELLS! 6HE mumbles out.
<DeathStar> <Isis> ... Athena. Stop being mean to people.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena looks down as if she were scolded
<Tabetha> "I see... male superheroes kiss." *she makes her notepad appear*
<Tabetha> * Jennifer keeps taking pictures.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, clearly Athena got some of Megumi's mean streak
<Chii> 6Elwyn runs into the yard, flailing. 1"Where's Lori!? DID WE FIND HER!?"
<Chad`Winters> Good thing Dias is comatose.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena beams at Elwyn and points at her art
<DeathStar> <Athena> Art!
<DeathStar> <Isis> Athena!!! <Athena> .. 6* She winces and moves to lower them
<Chii> <Elwyn> Oh, hey. Not bad. You're really picking up shibari.
<Tabetha> Jennifer> "Fine art. I'm mailing this out."
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin is trying to eat his way free.
<Chii> <Elwyn> I'll teach you some more, later.
<DeathStar> 6* Once they're lowered, Athena paws Dias to wake him up
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias keeps not moving since well, he ate three of Meguims death cookies
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hey, don't go teaching her stuff
<Tabetha> Jennifer> "Dias is still alive right?"
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon bows to Elwyn and points at Lorelei
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> If he were in danger of dying, I would have taken him t osee Carter. The cookies won't kill him
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek comes back out with a grey tee and khaki shorts on, rubbing his head with a towel. 1
<Chii> <Elwyn> AH, thank goodness." 6She runs over, doting on the kid, then pauses, peering around and jerks back like she used to-- afraid of kids.
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei coos at Elwyn, reaching out at her
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Don't you want to touch her, Elwyn? 6* She asks with a sinister smile
<Xanatos> <Drasek> We fed a bunch to Kellin to see what would happen. And he's still alive.
<Chii> <Elwyn> E-Eh... I'm o-okay.
<Chii> <Elwyn> I'm curious though. Why's she... so strong?
<Tabetha> Jennifer> "I know, I scanned him. I'm teasing since he'll be fine."
<DeathStar> 6* Ako and Iko run over and hug onto Elwyn's legs
<Chad`Winters> Come on, Elwyn.
<Chad`Winters> It's just your cousin.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin worm crawls around, looking like he might be having fun like that.
<Chii> 6Elwyn freezes-- a shiver running up the length of her body, she squints down, then freaks out like Guy around women
<DeathStar> 6* Isis speaks up. "It is because her DNA is a mixture of Dragoon, human, and kitsune." 6* Cheryl jerks slightly
* Chad`Winters looks at Isis. 1"Which is to be expected."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias groans a bit finally and he peers around
<DeathStar> <Isis> Yes. But they have melded together really fascinatingly. I wish I took some of the same lessons Aya did, though; I do not understand it all
<Tabetha> Jennifer> "That'd explain a lot. Though just saying Cheryl and Chii as mothers would be explaination enough."
<Chii> <Chii> I'm not really surprised, but why are all three present? Doesn't dragoon or human kind of override one or the other?
<Chad`Winters> Well it's fair to assume they would condsidering she came out healthy.
<Chii> <Chii> Otherwise that dragoon virus would have crossed over into human population, yeah?
<Chad`Winters> Depends on which is trait is dominat and repressive.
<DeathStar> <Isis> Hmm. Let me call Aya. 6* She goes to comm her
<Tabetha> Jennifer> "Not nessecarily Chii."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> W-why am I tied up?
<Tabetha> Jennifer> "If a virus only targets one kind of DNA, it would effect hybrids, but not the other species."
<DeathStar> 6* Athena peers down, then jerks, moving to untie her. "Sorry. Was making superhero art."
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Woooooorm. 6He says as he crawls by Athena.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She seems to be pretending not to be listening
<Chad`Winters> <Dahok> Art?
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
<DeathStar> 6* Athena nods, then straddles Dias. "When Dias going to let Athena go on superhero missions as sdiekick?"
<Chii> <Chii> Hm, Cherry, are you worried?
<DeathStar> 6* Iko and Ako climb up Elwyn to ride on her shoulders as she freaks out
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias goes real still when she straddles him, looking uncomfortable. 1"I..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Huh? Nonsense. I'm too dumb to know about any of that anymore. 6* She plays it off.
<Chii> 6Elwyn runs around flailing, crying
<DeathStar> <Athena> Soon? Please?
<DeathStar> <Athena> Also, can Athena see Kaleb again?
<Chii> <Chii> Tch, don't try that with me.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek slowly drapes the towel over Zephyr's head.
<Tabetha> Tabetha> "Yeah, when?" *she joins Athena, peering at Dias*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr jerks and squirms. "Hey!"
<Chii> <Chii> I'll give you the beads!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stiffens.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I...6He starts fidgeting now, really looking uncomfortable with the two straddling him
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah right. You hate being the dominate one.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Now y'smell like Drasek. Which means, manly.
<DeathStar> <Athena> Oh. Athena sorry. Athena not think of Dias like that. 6* She gets off adn sits by him
<Chii> <Chii> Dominance and revenge punishment are totally different!
<DeathStar> <Athena> Dias cute, but not Athena's type.
<Chii> 6Chii smiles sweetly. 1"Fox Cherry loves her beads, right?"
<Tabetha> * Tabetha blinks and moves off him too. She looks at Athena as though relieved a moment.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Kellin is! 6He chimes in, crawling around them.
* Chad`Winters seems to be tuning out Chii and Cheryl now
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She just waves her hand. "Fine, fine."
<Tabetha> * Jennifer moves over and sits on Kellin.
<Chii> <Chii> Wh-What's that supposed to mean!?
<DeathStar> 6* Athena peers at Tabetha now. "Dias is your type?"
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin wiggles and pouts. 1Cut me in two and I'll be two Kellins!
<DeathStar> 6* Aya steps off the pad with Dawn
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias sits up finally, his hand rubbing the back of his neck.
<Tabetha> * Tabetha blinks and looks away. "
<Tabetha> Tabetha> "M-Me? I... Dias has a girlfriend!"
<DeathStar> <Athena> Mmmm. Maybe girlfriend will let Dias have two girlfriends?
<Tabetha> Tabetha> "Ms. X does not seem like such a person."
<Chii> 6Dawn rubs his head awkardly, having not had a chance to change due to the episode on the bridge with delays and the Lorelei emergency
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Kellin has two girlfriends!
<Tabetha> Jennifer> "Oh?"
<DeathStar> 6* Athena nods at Kellin. "Kellin might even have three."
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Yup yup. 6He wiggles his brow.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias gets up quickly and moves to Cheryl. 1"Do you know when we're gonna head back to Earth?"
<Tabetha> * Jennifer taps his head gently. "And who are these lucky ladies?"
* Chad`Winters nods to Aya and Dawn as tehy approach.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mmm, soon, I guess. If yo uwant to escape Athena, just get a shuttle and go. 6* She notes. Athena pauses, then looks down
<Tabetha> * Jennifer pulls Athena onto Kellin and hugs her.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Hi. Isis said you needed something?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> T-That's not it.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> E...erm. Well a gentleman does not kiss and tell.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mmmm. Here. 6* She hands him a datapad. "Use the code K-Dias-213."
<Chad`Winters> Yeah, she was curious about Lorelei's genetics
<Tabetha> Jennifer> "Hmm." *she leans around and kisses his cheek* "Now you can tell."
<DeathStar> 6* Isis nods and hands the datapad to Aya, who takes itc uriously
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias shakes his head. 1"It's fine. I'll just wait for everyone. That way it's not a inconvenience."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Use the code.
<Chii> 6Dawn waves shyly. Chii peers at him, then moves over mischievously and offers him one of the death cookies. He blinks at it, then takes it, studying.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena peers at Kellin. "Athena know!"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Chii
<Tabetha> Jennifer> "Tell Jennee?"
<Chii> <Chii> Wh-What?
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin looks from Athena to Jennifer.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps back a bit and takes the datapad. He looks at it with a confused look. 1"Where do I use it?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Just input it into the datapad.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Y'know Chad was hopin you'd not say anything, love.
<DeathStar> <Athena> Mmmmmm. 6* She seems to debate
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias nods and puts it into the datapad
<Chii> 6Dawn sniffs the cookie, making a face, then pulls a datapad out of his apron to scan it and record as a dead weapon.
<Tabetha> Ariel> *peers over at Dias*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> And have AYa get upset when Dawn gets sick and have to take care of him?
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Could just make Chii nurture the bloke.
<DeathStar> 6* A video feed from the base comes in - Dias' room. He can see Kaleb is safe and sound. Apparantly Cheryl has extra security in the room, judging by all the command options on the side
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks it over thoughtfully. "Wow, this is pretty interesting."
<Xanatos> 6* Cole is in the room, playing guitar while the baby Kaleb does his baby thing in the crib.
* Chad`Winters moves over to look over Aya's shoulder a bit. 1"I'm a bit behind on my genetics, care to elaborate?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias seems to relax somewhat. He shifts then hugs Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Well, as you know, Cheryl is half human, half dragoon, and then you have Chii, who is human, with kitsune traits. Chances are, any kid they would have would be a normal child.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl blinks, and pats his shoulder
<Chii> 6Elwyn runs into Dawn, begging him to save her. He stares, unsure how to respond.
<Chad`Winters> Really? I would've guessed against those odds myself.
<DeathStar> 6* Ako and Iko giggle
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin gives Athena a smirk and a wink.
<Tabetha> Jennifer> *pouts*
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek steps over and holds out his arms to the two girls. 1Come'on then munchkins. Lets give Auntie Elwyn a breather.
<Chii> <Chii> She's not wrong, I'd say. As a spirit, honestly, the first in our family lineage was a pure human who was possessed.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Well, ... 6* She doesn't bring up Ben's name. "From what I gathered, Ariel's people, being fullly genetic, can bond easier and do more than Dragoons can - since their DNA is diluted It was designed so Dragoos could only bond with humans, which means the focus is on the human side
* Chad`Winters nods
<Tabetha> * Tabetha peers over, wandering to Aya and Chad.
<Tabetha> * Ariel also listens quietly.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Cheryl's DNA is a bit special compared to other Dragoons, though, as you know. So there's a lot that's present that isn't in Zephyr. But I can't really say what is different. As you know, Cheryl can't break a bond, unlike other Dragoons. Only her pilot can
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias breaks the hug off then looks at Cherly the the ground. 1"Does this mean that you watch me at night too?"
<Chii> <Chii> Eh? She can't?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Typically a computer watches you and sends me alerts if something is amiss. I don't go looking to invade your privacy.
<Chii> 6Chii peers at Cheryl, surprised. 1"You threatened to break it off with me before! Back shortly after we'd bonded and were having issues."
<DeathStar> <Aya> She can't. It might be psychological, or it might be genetic. Her first bond partner wasn't pleasant, I understand
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> And here I thought you enjoyed looking at me in my boxers. 6He he teases somewhat
<Chii> 6Chii punches her other hand. 1"Phaeton.."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers at Chad slowly, then down. "If you recall... I pushed you and pushed you until you broke it."
<Chad`Winters> Considering Cran, probably genetic.
<DeathStar> *Chii
<DeathStar> 6* Iko and Ako consider, then climb over to Drasek
<Tabetha> Ariel> "Cran likely didn't want her to be able to resist Phaeton." *cold and bitter*
<Chii> <Chii> Glad I squished that freak. Twice.
<DeathStar> <Aya> As long as you two have been bonded now, though, you're likely similiar to Zephyr and Megumi. Breaking it might be fatal for you."
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek hoist them up on his shoulders. 1Hold your arms out. We're gonna fly. 6He tells them, kneeling slightly to tense up.
<Chii> <Chii> Wh-What? Really? I thought that was only 'cause those twerps are so... synched.
<DeathStar> 6* Iko and Ako do so.
<DeathStar> <Aya> ... you two don't realize highly you're synched?
<Chad`Winters> You two are also closer physically.
<Chii> <Chii> Uh.." 6She glances to Cheryl and back.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... <Aya >Mmmm. I'd say you two are almost perfectly synched
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek makes sure he has them nice and secure and then begins to run.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Plus, physical contact strengths a bond, I'm told. And you two, um... are... mates.
<Tabetha> Ariel> "Not a surprise... with how well they get along."
<Chii> <Chii> B-But we don't do a lot of that mind invading and braintalk stuff..
<Xanatos> <Kellin> Mates. Heh. They dooooo it.
<Chad`Winters> There's more to it then that, Chii.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Likely because Cheryl is different, and you two are more private about your thoughts.
<Tabetha> Ariel> "It doesn't mean you can't. Though I take it as a good thing you voluntarily don't."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya peers at Cheryl, probably guessing she's the private one, really
<Chii> <Chii> Well, it could make sex pretty boring..
<Chii> <Chii> But there's stuff I don't really feel like sharing sometimes. Especially regarding my origins and some of the memories I stole away from Freyja.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hmph. Using the bond can also make sex better. You realize that Erevis gets off because she can feel Megumi's pleasure mixed with her own, right?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *Sighs* Sadly, I get a front row seat to that kind of stuff
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Nothing like trying to watch a good movie when they're upstairs -- like right now - doing stuff
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Youuu like it. 6He chimes in as runs by with the girls.
<Tabetha> * Ariel rubs her forehead more. "I don't need to hear that part..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6* She reddens.
<Chii> <Chii> Sure, that's fine and all, but if you know what they want, when, how, and why, what's the point? There's no discovery or satisfaction in finding out.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Maybe, but... think abotu it like this. 6* Zephyr walks over, and takes Cheryl's hand, then Chii's
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Focus on each other for a moment, open yourself up, and then think about the other person and how you feel about them
<Tabetha> * Tabetha slips up by Chii, taking notes rapidly.
* Chad`Winters glances at them a bit, his neutral look appearing on his face. 1"Go on, Aya."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya seems interested as well. "I will. But I see where Zephyr is going. Which is important to what I have to say next."
<Tabetha> * Tabetha and Ariel both look over.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lets out a breath, then does so
<Chii> 6Chii frowns a bit, but eyes Cheryl and complies with Zephyr, closing her eyes a moment and getting a bit of a peaceful smile.
<Tabetha> * Jennifer sighs and gets up, lifting up Athena.
* Chad`Winters closes his eyes as he crosses his arms and waits
<DeathStar> 6* After a moment, they can feel each other's feelings for the other, and how much they love and whatnot
<DeathStar> 6* Athena merowls. "But Athena not done drawing out the moment."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> There. That's the link of a bond. Hee. 6* Lorelei begins to coo more
<Tabetha> Jennifer> "Oh, well then." *plops back down on poor, poor Kellin*
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin jerks and makes a dramatic sigh.
<Chii> 6Chii opens her eyes. 1"Yeah. I remember this."
<DeathStar> <Athena> First girlfriend - Elwyn!
<Chii> <Chii> It's like before Cherry got dragon-napped.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Right. See how Lorelei reacted?
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin jerks at that.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya points at her.
<Tabetha> Jennifer> "Hmmm. Second Athena."
<Chii> 6Chii blinks and peers over at Lorelei
* Chad`Winters opens his eyes now and glances at Lorelei.
<Tabetha> Tabetha> "She's part of the bond?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances as well. Aya goes on. "Athena has told me she can feel Zephyr's thoughts sometimes. It's likely a byproduct of the genetic engineering to make sure that the bond partners got close. If one has a kid while linked, the parent's link transfers to the child. Subdued.
<Chad`Winters> All three are tied together. Which I'm guessing means the stronge the bond between Chii and Cheryl is, the stronger their bond with their daughter is
<Tabetha> Tabetha> "Neato!"
<Chii> <Chii> So uh-- we're dragoon and pilot-- and together we're... like Lore's pilot?
<DeathStar> <Aya> But Lorelei is also part dragoon. I'm not sure what that will mean down the run, but it seems to me that her dragoon ablities are growing at a faster rate. She ooks like a baby, but parts of her are... more along cellularly.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl hisses through her teeth, as if she already thought those things
<Chii> <Chii> What do you mean?
<Tabetha> Ariel> "We've seen bonds go multiple ways before."
<Chad`Winters> It just means that Cheryl and Chii will have to watch her mroe carefully
<DeathStar> <Aya> Well, most dragoons have to be a certain age before they can bond. Zephyr was the youngest, as a test, I'm assuming, since the others were 18 or older.
<Chii> <Elwyn> Maybe not just the dragoon genes. I told you... she's rather absurdly strong spiritually. I thought it was Freyja returning back. Which means..." 6She eyes Chii.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Lorelei likely will be able to do so at a younger age
<Chii> <Chii> She's stronger than me.
<DeathStar> <Aya> But, also, a dragoon's abilities are tied to their mind, naturally, so it means her brain is developing faster, as well.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya taps the scans
<Chad`Winters> Explains why she's learning to talk already.
<Tabetha> Ariel> "So we have a little genius on our hands."
<Chii> <Chii> S-So she's not really just smart..?
<DeathStar> <Aya> Yes. But a dragoon's aging is capped. It could be trouble down the road if it isn't slowed. Or stopped. I can't say what it will do to her physically
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek slides to a stop, peering up slightly at the girls.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Oh, she's smart. Very smart. Cheryl's IQ levels are very high, after all
<Chad`Winters> You might want to find Caduceus to bring in on this, Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* They giggle.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I already did
<Chii> <Chii> So for us non-gene people. What exactly do you mean?
<Chad`Winters> Essentially we don't know what her genetics will do to her down the road
<DeathStar> <Aya> Um. She might developing absurdly fast down the road, and that would be one of the better scenarios.
<Tabetha> Ariel> "I can try to see if I can get help from my people."
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek smirks and sets them down.
<Chii> <Chii> Are you saying she might hit the cap and die like dragoons used to? That she'll age really fast? Really slow? Stop like a dragoon? Is she going to end up crippled like Meg?
<Chad`Winters> It's hard to tell, Chii.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Any of those things might happen
<Tabetha> Jennifer> "So who's this possible third?"
<Chad`Winters> Too many variables.
<DeathStar> <Aya> I'm guessing Cheryl has already assumed.
<DeathStar> <Athena> Jennee!
<Chad`Winters> She has, it's why she's tapped Cad.
<Tabetha> * Jennifer blushes. "Oh?"
<Chii> <Chii> Th-Then why say anything? Now I'm just going to worry the whole time, but there's nothing to do about it, right? I don't even get it..
<DeathStar> <Aya> OH. S-Sorry. I thought maybe Cheryl mentioned it to you
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl crosses her arms
<Chii> 6Chii frowns, rubbing her face.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> So many girls, so little of me. 6He sighs dramatically.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena hugs KEllin and Jennifer together
<DeathStar> 6* Aya peers down
<Tabetha> * Jennifer hugs them both.
* Chad`Winters rubs Aya's back
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Right now there's nothing to worry about; I'm monitoring her through the bond.
<Tabetha> Tabetha> "Mmm... bo worries!"
<Tabetha> *no
<Chii> <Elwyn> Well, maybe rather than waiting.. you should start teaching her about herself as is?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias frowns a bit as he looks at Lorelei with worry
<Chii> <Chii> She's not old enough to under--
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei peers about
<DeathStar> <Aya> It's also possible her abilities will slow and come to a stop naturally and age along normally. Um, Kitsune, you stop aging, right?
<Chii> <Elwyn> I don't mean the abc's, exactly. But start training her to understand her body and spirit? It might be hard going, but you could figure it out I'm sure.
<Tabetha> Tabetha> "Think Lorelei is old enough to understand a lot."
<Chii> <Chii> I don't know.. I'm not really a true kitsune. At least, I wasn't born or made naturally.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Elwyn and Freyja don't seem to age.
<Chii> <Elwyn> Tch. Excuses-- but yes, Aya. Once our awakening happens, our age stops.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rubs Chii's shoulder
<DeathStar> <Aya> It's likely she might stop, too, when she reaches her own awakening
<Chii> <Elwyn> Well... about that...
<Chii> <Chii> It probably already happened.
<DeathStar> <Aya> ... 6* She frowns
<DeathStar> <Aya> There is another possibility, then.
<Chii> <Elwyn> It's usually can't happen until around seven years.
<Chii> <Chii> Yet she's already showing the traits.
<DeathStar> <Aya> She will stop aging at 24 years of age physically
<Chad`Winters> Why 24?
<Chii> <Chii> Huh? What's special about twenty-fo--
<DeathStar> <Aya> Cheryl and Chii both stopped their physically, and she's bond linked to them. Zephyr ages at the rate Megumi does
<DeathStar> <Aya> Lorelei may, possibilely, do the same
<Chad`Winters> Makes sense
<Chii> <Elwyn> I didn't think about that...
<Tabetha> Tabetha> "Life finds a way..."
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Shame I stopped aging at 'old man'.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then we have to worry if she ever bonds to anotehr what would happen.
<Chii> <Elwyn> How fast is she progressing then? She hasn't been showing much physically.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr snorts at Drasek
<Tabetha> * Ariel croses her arms under her breasts, looking at her granddaughter thoughtfully.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek smirks and winks.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Physically, she seems to be the age she should be.
<Chii> <Elwyn> Which is why I asked..
<Chad`Winters> Mentally...What...11 months?
<Tabetha> Tabetha> "Not much!? Lorelei very fast!"
<DeathStar> <Aya> Well, assuming she has Cheryl's IQ, she might be about 8 or 9
<Chii> 6Chii jerks.
<DeathStar> <Aya> She could, also, be using the bond to gleam knowledge.
<DeathStar> <Aya> I've noticed she seems to respond to what you two desire
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Desire a sleeping kid and see if she takes a nap.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena seems distracted as she listens across the way with her twitching ears
<Tabetha> * Tabetha blinks a little. "Did... Ms. Chii and Ms. Cheryl want to come visit the PAX?"
<Chii> <Elwyn> I think you should start teaching her to control her chi flow.
<DeathStar> <Aya> I meant more like, Chii and Cheryl wanted them to call her 'Mamma' and she learned the word
<Tabetha> * Jennifer looks at Athena, seeing her doing the same thing, she peers over quietly.
<DeathStar> *her to call them
<Chii> <Chii> H-How the hell would I even do that?
<Chad`Winters> Then when she said my name, it was because Cheryl wanted her too?
<Chii> <Elwyn> I don't know-- but it's directly related to our appearance manifest, right? If she starts going all wonky, at least she'd have a way to consciously stabilize herself to what she feels is 'right.'
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin wiggles to get free now, having grown bored of the hugging and beign tied up.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Likely because Cheryl considers you 'Chad'. If the word 'brother' wasn't complicated, she might have used it
<Xanatos> <Drasek> See, she called your name because you're simple.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena idlely cuts him loose without looking
<Tabetha> * Jennifer shifts off him, putting Athena in her lap without looking down either.
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin begins to kiss his hands like he missed them, even hugs them a bit.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> She called Ariel Maa, too. <Aya> To you, Aunt Cheryl, Ariel is your mother
<Chad`Winters> I highly doubt that, Drasek.
<Chii> <Chii> I call her mom, too.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Well I think you're simple, mate. 6He gives a slight shrug.
<Chii> 6Elwyn pauses and kneels down by Lorelei, holding up her hand and creating a foxfire wisp. Chii peers over, able to see them, of course, blinking.
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei wags her tail as she looks about, as if trying to figure out what's being said, like a dog that picks up on certain words and wodners if a treat is coming
<Tabetha> * Ariel smiles a little.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the hand. "Why are you making that?"
<Chii> <Elwyn> I--" 6she looks over. 1"Was just curious how she'd respond.."
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei looks at it, then reaches for it
<Tabetha> * Jennifer peers over, tilting her head, focusing on Elwyn's hand. "Wanna get closer, Athena?" *she asks softly*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Hm. I guess we'll need another kind of teacher. You up to moving into the manision, Elwyn?
<DeathStar> <Athena> Merowl? No. Look serious
<Chii> <Elwyn> Wh-What? Me!?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Chii usually does the kitsune stuff to attack people, or try to tie me up. I don't think I want Lorelei learning that
<Tabetha> Jennifer> "It is."
* Chad`Winters studies Lorelei now.
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei tries to grab at the wisp
<Chii> 6Elwyn rubs her head. 1"... W-Well, I kind of lost most of my abilities. I'm pretty strong myself though, that's why I can still use foxfire pretty freely. I guess if Billy's up to it... our ship's basically finished. Needs testing."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll pay you. Help speed the ship building along
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> If learning this stuff helps her develop normally, then I want it done
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Could always make Kellin the tester. Little git is like a roach, never dies.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> After seeing what she can do today, I'm worried about what she'll be like in another year.
<DeathStar> 6* Athena mewls at Drasek, ears drooping
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nudges Drasek hard
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek jerks. 1Ow. I-I was just kidding.
<Tabetha> * Jennifer hugs Athena comfortingly. "I doubt Kellin would ever leave oneechan."
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin pauses, perking at his name being said. 1Huh?
<Chii> <Elwyn> I can't promise 'normal.' I-- just... our spirit is our lifeline and our life. Like I said, its flow controls our energy, and when we harness it, it's how we manipulate nature and what's around us, even our own appearance. Kitsune like Freyja and originally myself, could change age and shape by adjusting it.
<Chii> <Elwyn> I kind of sucked at it. All I did was modify age, but you know what Freyja could do with it, I'm guessing. Not only her own appearance, but everything around her. Illusions.
<Chii> <Chii> I-- just use elements and regenerative tendencies.
<DeathStar> <Aya> While it's important to train her Kitsune abilities, don't let her Dragoon abilities go by without raining, too. Make sure she doesn't bond before a certain age
<DeathStar> <Aya> It might cause effects that can't be forseen, and she'll probably be able to bond at a young age
<Chii> <Chii> I-- Lem, you bond with her!
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon jerks
<Chad`Winters> Guess you'll have to watch all her boyfriends carefully
<DeathStar> <Aya> I--- meant with no one. You two should maintain your bond with her as long as possible.
<Chii> <Chii> I don't trust anyone else!
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... and girls. 6* She says sourly. "Chii's thoughts might make her swing that way."
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei holds up a button sized wisp in her own hand and coos
<Tabetha> * Tabetha tilts her head. "Little Lorelei will possibly exhibit girl-love?"
<Chii> <Chii> B-Blame Kat! She's the one that made me a lesbian.
<Chii> <Chii> It's your fault, too, Cherry! We had a lot of like interests!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Tab slowly, then eyes Chad and Aya. "You two are quitting PAX and working for me. I want relatives around her."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya jerks
<Chii> 6Dawn jerks.
<DeathStar> 6* YZ snickers.
<Tabetha> Ariel> "Does someone have aspirin?"
* Chad`Winters slowly looks at Cheryl, his expression stoic as to not give away what he'd prefe
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *sighs* I'm kidding. Well, not really, but I wouldn't make you change your lifestyles
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We should get back to Earth anyway.
<Tabetha> Tabetha> "Awww... could learn lots from Mr. Chad."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You can always stay here. 6* She notes dryly, as if seeing Tab as a different kind of threat now
<Tabetha> Tabetha> "I-I am fine working for you, General."
<DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr whispers to Drasek. "I feel sorry for Lorelei. I somehow doubt Cheryl will let anyone of age - of either gender - near her now."
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek gives a slight nod.
<Chii> 6Dawn rubs his neck, peering to the side thoughtfully.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> We could 'babysit' and set her up on dates. 6He winks.
<Chii> <Chii> That'd be a problem, Phinee.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It would be our job as her favorite aunt and uncle
<Chii> <Chii> If she doesn't get to interact with anyone her age, wouldn't she wind up strange, too?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> S-So what?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> So Kaleb can't visit her anymore?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I didn't interact with anyone growing up and I turned out fine
<Chii> <Chii> It might just make her all that more anxious.
<DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr eyes Cheryl, then just laughs
<Chii> <Chii> And rebellious.
<Chii> <Chii> And curious.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Fine enough to give brother Drasek a hug, Cheryl? 6He holds his arms out.
<Chii> 6Chii eyes Cheryl, since they're the two epitomes of rebellion and curiousity
<Tabetha> * Ariel crosses her arms again and looks down.
<Chad`Winters> I think the curious part came from the bond.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She sighs. "Fine. She can hang out with Kaleb."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> But the moment she tries to make out with him, I'm going to lock her in a secure room until I'm satisfied.
<Chii> Lem, make sure she stays away from rocket fuel.
<DeathStar> <Lemon> Y-Yes, ma'am
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Could always get a shock collar. Catch her kissin and give a good jolt.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers at Drasek, looking thoughtful
<Chii> 6Chii eyes Drasek.
<Chii> 6Darkly.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya stares at that suggestion, horrorfied. Even ISis looks queazy
* Tabetha tilts her head slowly. "This all confuses me."
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Hey. If it's not broke, don't fix it. It's how I keep Iko and Ako in line.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh, I know what I'll use now. 6* She says mysteriously, then moves off, taking Lorelei from Chad. Suddenly, Drasek would feel danger ebhind him
<DeathStar> 6* Grave, deadly danger
<Chii> <Megumi> <Is that so, Zephyr?>
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek pauses and slowly looks around.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is there, in a silk robe, eyeing him
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You do what...to my little ones....?"
<Chii> <Chii> Ch-Cherry, what are you... doing..!?
<Xanatos> <Drasek> I was just joking Revi! 6He backs up quickly.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr gets far away from Dasek
<Tabetha> Jennifer> "Athena! Wanna go help me feed Ralph? I suddenly think he might be hungry."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head slowly, with an eerie look. "Oh. You were joking...about shocking my...little ones?"
<DeathStar> 6* Athena nods and runs off like a terrified cart
<Tabetha> * Jennifer runs off with her.
* Chad`Winters rubs the back of his neck
<Tabetha> Ariel> "K-Killing intent... so high..."
<Chii> 6Elwyn squints, shivering, then idly holds out her hand to soul burn Erevis-- thinking it in their best interest.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> The munchkins are good, don't need shocked anyhow.
<DeathStar> 6* Ako and Iko chime up. "Drasek gives cookies!"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis then faceplants
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek jerks glances left and then right, kneeling to lift Erevis up. 1Sex coma?
<Tabetha> * Tabetha hurries off after Cheryl.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias peers at Erevis hit the ground face first which looked painful
<Chii> <Elwyn> I-- I'm gonna take her inside, Drasek." 6She holds out her arms.
<DeathStar> 6 *Zephyr winces. "That--- ... that will leave a mark."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... Oh God, did the baby get hurt?
* Chad`Winters frowns a bit. 1"You should bring her to medbay to be safe
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek pauses and glances to Zephyr. 1Right. 6He turns and moves for the teleporter.
<DeathStar> 6* Isis swallows slowly. "Let us hope---she does not find remember...what happened."
<Xanatos> 6* Kellin rises up behind Elwyn. 1Bad move holmes. But nice try.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> I can run faster than her anyhow.
<Chii> <Elwyn> I like living.
<Tabetha> * Ariel sighs softly. "I hope she's alright."
<Xanatos> <Drasek> But...only drasek would not be living. And he's a jerkface sometimes.
<Xanatos> NRP: Kellin.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek hits medbay and dissappears.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr rubs her face. She wonders if Megumi or Xanatos will show up to beat up Elwyn
* Chad`Winters rubs his face and glances for YZ
<Chii> <Megumi> <Elwyn? Why Elwyn? Is she psionic?>
<DeathStar> 6* YZ seems to have retreated after Cheryl - she might not know Erevis well, but she knows when an angry woman can cause trouble
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> H-huh? OH, no. NO. ...no... Hah. ...hah..I wasn't thinking about Elwyn
<DeathStar> <zephyr> Unless the baby is hurt, then I'll be doing my own sort of thinking
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr rambles all this outloud
<Tabetha> Ariel> "I should... go see if she's alright." *she says softly, moving for the teleporter*
* Chad`Winters eyes Zephyr
<Chii> <Megumi> <You... are being contradictory.>
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Me? I'm a woman. We're always contradictory.
<Xanatos> <Kellin> I never saw nothin. 6He holds his hands over his eyes, snickering at Elwyn.
<Chii> 6Elwyn peers over at Kellin, narrowing her eyes.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rocks Lorelei, peering at the night sky once they're back on Earth
<Chii> <Chii> ...Kitty Voyager... huh? Heh... how appropriately named.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Huh?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chii
<Chii> <Chii> Didn't you see the name of the ship? It's not like they could turn PAX around.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Didn't really pay attention to much of anything. Been thinking. ... Oh, we're ohme. 6* She notes
<Tabetha> Ariel> "That we are. Are you alright Cheryl? You've been a bit out of it."
<Chii> <Chii> Apparently its captain's Meg. So, heh." 6She frowns, peering at Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah, I'm fine. Slight headache. 6* She notes, shifting Lorelei to Chii. "Got some work to do. I'll be in bed in an hour."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves off.
<Chii> <Chii> ...What kind of work?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias sits in his room, Kaleb in one arm while he watches tv, a troubled look on his face.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Annoying work
<DeathStar> 6* She comments as she steps inside
<Tabetha> * Tabetha knocks on Dias' door gently.
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei coos at Chii
<Tabetha> * Ariel puts a hand on Chii's shoulder.
<Chii> 6Chii adjusts to cradle Lorelei as well, making a face at the vague answer, but hums a bit.
<DeathStar> 6* She looks worried for some reason
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias peers at the door and he takes a deep breath and gets up. He moves to the door and opens it. 1"Hey Tabetha."
<Chii> <Chii> ...Man it's crappy you're around, mom.
<Tabetha> "Hiya... how are you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei makes baby sounds at Chii, then goes back to looking worried
<Chii> <Chii> Not to be rude, but our last consensus report I didn't count you as a household member-- I included you in our inventory as a lawn gnome.
* Chii looks saddened a bit, rubbing cheeks with Lorelei. 1"What is it..?"
<Tabetha> * Ariel chuckles a bit. "I understand, I've been very distant. I'm hoping to change that."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'm good, why? 6He looks confused
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei coos back
<Tabetha> "Worried Athena and I upset you on the PAX."
<Xanatos> 6* Cole spends his babyless time in the mess area, eating a huge plate of food.
<DeathStar> 6* Meanwhile, Key would sense something strange in the air. But again, cannot put into words what it is
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Noo it's fine.
<Chii> 6Key appears near YZ, tackling her.
<DeathStar> 6* YZ, spying on the mess hall, makes a noise
<Chii> <Key> New My Z! Silmeria has sensed something again!
<Tabetha> * Raquel steps out of her room, she looks a little more pale then usual, probably from spending so much time in her room, she moves to the Mess Hall.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole peers up slightly at the noise, then goes back to his food. 1Always spying. 6He says with a full mouth.
<DeathStar> <YZ> NEw... My...Z? ... what have you sensed?
* Tabetha nods and smiles softly. "Need anything?"
<Chii> 6Tomoe stands in Raquel's path, wielding her pocket knife
<Chii> <Key> I-- I don't know. Can't understand.
<Tabetha> * Raquel pauses, looking at Tomoe with an odd smile. "H-Hello..."
<Chii> <Tomoe> Shine kudasai!" 6She leaps, thrusting.
<DeathStar> <YZ> Hm. 6* She sits up, looking thoughtful. "What does it feel like?"
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei uses her tail to tickle Chii's chin
<Chii> <Key> um..." 6She squints, trying to ponder on it.
<Tabetha> * Raquel peers down at her, shifting her leg out of the way. "Are you supposed to have knives Lilith?"
<Chii> 6Chii jerks, laughing a little.
<Chii> <Tomoe> ...Urusai, kyuuketsuki!
<Chii> 6Tomoe flails, then pouts like Shana. 1"Urusai, urusai, urusai!"
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei tickles her, then somehow slips out of her grasp, and crawls rapidly for the yard maze
<Chii> <Chii> H-hey!" 6She gives chase
<DeathStar> 6* YZ peers in at Cole, then whispers. "Is it Cole? He sometimes smells funny."
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei coos and begins to enter the maze
<Xanatos> 6* Cole sniffs himself around the same time she says that, then pauses and makes a face.
<Tabetha> * Raquel twists around and grabs her from behind, pulling her up into a hug, a hand around the little girl's wrist. "...You don't remember do you...?"
<Chii> 6Chii makes a leap for her. 1"Stop, you little rascal!"
<DeathStar> 6* As Chii lands, Lorelei crawls back over on top of her and back out of the maze
<DeathStar> 6* YZ snickers
<Chii> 6Tomoe makes a squeal and struggles. 1"Remembuh?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at Tabetha get quiet and rubs the back of his neck
<Tabetha> Raquel> "Inugami..."
<Chii> <Tomoe> Inu-- gah-- me?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> No, we're fine. Thanks tho.
<Chii> 6Chii groans, then shifts to run
<Tabetha> Raquel> "Yes... my Inugami..."
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei crawls toward one of the security gun holes
<Chii> <Chii> Loooore!
<Chii> <Tomoe> Who inu?
<Tabetha> * Ariel sighs and chases after Lorelei.
<DeathStar> <YZ> And he makes squeaky sounds when he moves
<Tabetha> Raquel> "You're my Inugami."
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei falls into the hole, and a moment later the gun rises up with her on top, cooing
<Chii> <Tomoe> Tomoe not dog!
<Chii> <Chii> Wh-What the!?
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon chimes Tomoe's comm to let her know dinner is ready upstairs
* Tabetha nods and looks down, rubbing the back of her head. "O-Oh, alright... do you want to be left alone?"
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei rolls off the gun and it goes back down
<Chii> 6Tomoe pauses. 1"Yatta! Itadekimasu!"
<Tabetha> * Raquel slowly puts her down, watching her.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole gets up and moves to dump out his trash, squeeking slightly when he walks.
<DeathStar> <YZ> Wait, he really squeaks?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I was going to lie down for a nap with Kaleb.
<Chii> 6Tomoe swishes the knife in dramatic samurai-like movements-- before folding it in half and sticking it in her sash, running off jovially toward the mess hall
<Chii> <Chii> Lore, come here..!
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei pauses, then crawls toward Chii
* Tabetha nods and slips back a little. "Okay. See you later?"
<Chii> 6Chii blinks, then kneels, smiling. 1"Good girl!"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias nods. 1"Sounds good."
<Xanatos> 6* Cole moves towards YZ and Key.
* Tabetha smiles and hops off towards the mess hall.
<DeathStar> 6* YZ pauses, then shifts Key to hide herself
<Tabetha> * Raquel steps into the mess hall, looking about quietly.
<DeathStar> 6* Lorelei looks happy and holds up her hands
<Chii> <Key> Nope. Can't decide!
<Tabetha> * Ariel smiles a bit and walks over to the two.
<Chii> 6Chii picks her up, rubbing faces.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole pauses near them and then lifts up his foot. 1I think I stepped in water, it's making my boots squeek.
<DeathStar> 6* YZ peers around Key to eye them.
<Chii> <Tomoe> Uwahhh! Remonma!
<Tabetha> * Tabetha races into the Mess Hall and leaps over to Cole. "Squeaking?"
<DeathStar> 6* Then jerks at Tab
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves back to his chair and sits down. He glances up at the cieling where he thinks the camera is and then looks back at the holovid
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon has set up all sorts of food
<Xanatos> 6* Cole slowly glances towards Tabetha. 1Um. Y...es.
* Tabetha holds out her hand and summons an oil can, she gets a wicked smile on her face. "REPAIR TIME!"
<Chii> 6Tomoe's eyes sparkle, drooling at the sight of a food-- like a puppy.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole holds up a hand. 1Whoa. No thanks.
<DeathStar> 6* YZ stares at Tab
<Chii> <Key> Eviction!
* Tabetha giggles and makes it vanish, she smiles and sighs. "What, you're rusting a little aren't you?"
<Chii> 6Key grabs Tabetha, teleporting them both to the training room-- then returns to the mess hall alone.
<DeathStar> <YZ> She's...getting kind of... creepy.
<DeathStar> 6* Where the camera is - Dias would see a giant smiley face
<Xanatos> <Cole> Like hell I ru-6He pauses. 1What happened?
<Chii> <Key> Key perform eviction!
<DeathStar> 6* Lemon puts a napkin on Tomoe and lets her eat
<Xanatos> <Cole> Teach me?
<Tabetha> * Tabetha comes running back in, breathing hard. "N-Not funny. Okay, I'll behave."
<DeathStar> <YZ> Wow, that... was pretty fast.
<Chii> 6Key nods to Cole, grabbing him and Tabetha both-- then returns with just Cole.
<Chii> <Key> Get it?!
<Xanatos> 6* Cole stands there with his mouth open. 1I feel tingly.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias shifts a bit, concious of it now. He shifts to rest his head in his hand, with Kaleb in the other.
<DeathStar> 6* YZ leans her head out to see how fast Tab moves
<Tabetha> * Tabetha makes her way back down the hall, slower this time, out of breath and looking a little upset.
<DeathStar> <YZ> Uh oh, you made her mad, KEy.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Well if she's getting mad we'd best not do it anymore today.
<Chii> <Key> Uh oh! Escape!" 6She grabs Cole and YZ, moving them to the garage.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Oh hey I actually wanted to be here. 6He moves over and plops onto his motorcycle.
<DeathStar> 6* YZ looks queazy, then throws up
<Chii> <Key> Key goddess make people happy!" 6She beams.
<Chii> 6Then pauses at YZ
<Tabetha> * Tabetha looks into the mess hall and pouts. She sighs and moves to sit down, looking sad, Key's a dirty liar.
<Xanatos> 6* Cole makes a face. 1Somebody's tummy doesn't agree with that moving stuff. Ick. Who cleans up these messes?
<Chii> <Key> ... Key does." 6She sulks.
<DeathStar> <YZ> Sorry...full stomach...
<Tabetha> * Raquel gets some food and walks out with it back to her room, ignoring Tabetha.
<Xanatos> <Cole> Haha. Hahaha. 6He starts laughing at how that all worked out.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6* The next morning, Cheryl sits up in bed and eyes the crib - empty
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... LORELEI!!!!!

<Chad`Winters> Re: Yesterday
<Chad`Winters> Sorry for coming off the way I did, I'm not used to having people show up at my zone, let alone ones asking me to do anything with them. While I'm not comfortable with something like dinner, I believe I could arrange time to grab something to eat with you during one of my shift lunches.

<Chad`Winters> Re: The Four Arm Goddess
<Chad`Winters> Sorry it's been awhile since we've talked. Loki and I thought it was best I stayed in Cartel Space until our scientists were able to redesign the device on my head. I plan on making a trip to PAX to visit you, Marcus and your son even if Loki doesn't like the thought.
<Chad`Winters> PS, I suggest you find a baby sitter. It's been awhile since I've been able to drink to the point that create frat boy dreams.
