Session Start: Thu Oct 18 20:05:41 2001 * Logging #BESM to 'mcinterlude_20011018.log' ( I'm taking the official log. ) (There's at least three of us logging, probably more. Don't worry 'bout it. ^_^) *** RDMgryphon is now known as AFKgryphon *** Calvin sets mode: +vvvvv Calvin Chelsea Hikaru Norii Shigeru [Calvin, Norii, Chelsea, Shigeru, and Hikaru are all at Norii's place, unless you decide to go to someone else's. Day is Tuesday. Time is 12:00 AM] *** Calvin sets mode: -o Calvin [ChibiSession Start] * Calvin sits on the floor, perfectly still, cradling his mother's sword against his shoulder. * Shigeru eyes Calvin, then looks around. "Do you have an outlet handy, Norii?" * Chelsea sits in the most comfortable seat she could get at, contemplating something or other. * Hikaru nervously watches Calvin. * Demota sits in the studio audience, watching the filming of this episode of Mystery Club: THe NExt Generation ( ... ) ( You notice the place is a slightly over-tidy appartment. Books of every description (though mostly non-fiction) sit everywhere. ) ( plus a stock ticker on the table? ) ( everything is in slightly too-good of taste for a scholarship student ) Over ther, Shiggy. *** Atom (EDeangelus@AC823360.ipt.aol.com) has joined #BESM ...does anyone know what Miyu was? I mean, is? * Shigeru walks over there and plugs his laptop in, sitting at the most convenient spot nearby (hopefully there's a chair and desk). *** Daisuke sets mode: +o Atom ( Yay! Atom! ) (Hey Eoi. :P We're at Norii's.) I'm back. Minus: I didn't get to run SP. Plus: My parents, feeling bad for what they did, Picked up my copy of DMC for me. ( Gah. ) (*nods*) ( Err. What is going on? ) (Minisession. ^^) ( Ah. ) ( They wanted a mini-session, so... They're having one :P ) Nah. That's what I'm trying to find out. Well, partially. Hang on. * Shigeru boots up and starts typing away. "This'll be for convenience." ( You can join if you want. We just started. ) I never figured it out... though I never looked into it too hard. Yeah. Anything weird about her? Besides that she could fly, I mean. * Shigeru blinks. "Oh. Got pen and a pad of paper?" So...none of you knew where her powers came from? * Norii tosses him a legal pad out of a drawer. * Shigeru catches it. * Shigeru glances at the screen, then starts scribbling stuff down. ( ATom: You playing? ) * Shigeru shrugs. *** Atom is now known as AtomMustDie ( Nah. Sorry. ) ( That's a no, I think :P ) * Shigeru stands up and puts his laptop on the chair, turning it towards the others so they can see the screen. "Okay. Who knows much about computers, the internet, and such?" I use it. I'm no techie. * Chelsea smirks at that one. * Shigeru grins. You don't need to be. ( She's got purple hair. And Kaira did too. Not sure if that counts as out of character info or not ) ( Kaira had black hair :P ) ( And no, since they saw it before. :P ) ( I thought you said it was purple. ;_; ) ( Hm. That must mean Rina's one of them, too! ) I know a little. * Shigeru tears the top sheet off from the pad and hands it to Norii. It's filled with codes that look like total nonsense, but there's a URL at the top. ( At least, you said it could be purple since the description of hte hair wasn't said in session... ) ( If they had computer skill, they wouldn't need you ^_^ ) ( I'm pretty sure I said it was black :P ) * Shigeru writes some more and hands Hikaru and Chelsea identical papers. ( you didn't. ^_^; ) ( Well, it is. ) * Norii shrugs, boots up her PC, and looks it up. ( Blegh. x.x ) Access codes. You're going to get messages telling you you put in the wrong ones. ( Looks like I'll have to adjust the race sheet again... x.x ) Don't worry about that. They're supposed to stop people like me. * Chelsea takes a look. "Ah ha." *** AtomMustDie has quit IRC (EDeangelus@AC823360.ipt.aol.com) (Write Error: Broken pipe) ( Don't worry. I'm probably going to alter things to suit my own needs anyhow. ) * Shigeru smirks and points at his laptop. "I'm already in, if you want to look from there." * Chelsea folds the paper neatly and puts it in her pocket for later. * Hikaru puts the paper away. Sure. (And if you wanna look, it's at http://ardweden.com/himitsu/shigfile.txt ) (So neener. ;P) * Chelsea gets up and walks over to look at Shigeru's laptop screen. * Hikaru comes over to peer at the screen as well. * Shigeru sighs and sits next to Calvin. "I'm not gonna keep my info secret. Might get us killed. I'll update that when I can." * Calvin does not respond. * Chelsea scans the text on the screen and nods. Doing some research ahead of time, I see... good for you. * Shigeru peers at the other boy. Emotion? *** AtomMustDie (EDeangelus@ACA94036.ipt.aol.com) has joined #BESM -> *Shigeru* Despair. * Shigeru shrugs. "It's about all I know how to do." ( Judging from the response, nothing :P ) *** Daisuke sets mode: +o AtomMustDie Aww, hell. Calvin. Calvin! * Shigeru snaps his fingers in front of Calvin's face. * Calvin does not respond. Aw, geez. * Chelsea frowns. "You getting anything from 'im, Shig?" Anything at all? * Norii bites her lip, completely out of her depth in this situation. Yeah, he's awake. He's... not feeling so good. More like the world's crumbling around him. * Chelsea nods. "Well, that's understandable, what with one thing and another." * Shigeru frowns. "Yeah, but going into a trance isn't healthy. Believe me, I know." Cal. We're going to get her back. Whatever it takes. * Chelsea nods. "I figured." She thinks a moment. "I don't suppose you can pull him out?" *** AFKgryphon is now known as RDMgryphon ( Whatever it takes? Ooo. I'm gonna like this ^_^ ) ( Gwah! ) Y'mean by looking through his brain? I... could try, but I don't want to until we try everything else. * Chelsea nods. "Alright." * Shigeru puts his hand on Calvin's shoulder and shakes him gently. (Throw your loudest thought my way, Cal. In channel this time. :P) ~Failure. Failure. Disappointment. Unworthy.~ ( That's close enough, anyway. ) ( Kirby! ) * Shigeru jerks his hand back and stares. What happened? * Chelsea notices this. "Something wrong, Shig? 'Sides the obvious." * Shigeru trembles minutely. "I- I read his thoughts." * Chelsea blinks. "Ah." What...what's he thinking? But... no, it's not what he was thinking. It's- I didn't *want* to read them! * Norii blinks. Huh? * Shigeru curses and stands, trying (and failing) to smooth his hair. And that's never happened before, right? *** Tris-chan (cloud4598@66.123.168.97) has joined #besm ( How is it that I ALWAYS miss these things? ) * Shigeru shakes his head. "Happened last time I... it happened when I became blind." ( Hi Tris. It's only a mini-session. ) ( ^_^; ) * Hikaru blinks. "Blind?" ( You can pop in if you want ) Yeah. I'm legally blind. ( ...Well last time, you guys were at my house, so....^^;;; ) ( Nothing really big happening here, and yeah, you can join in if you want. ) * Chelsea mulls over this for a bit. "I see." * Shigeru removes his glasses and waves his hand in front of his face. "Can't see a thing." He puts them back on. ( Actually the group unanimously (randomly, that is) decided to go to Norii's place ) ( ... ) Uh, huh. (*laughs*) (Brett rolled a die.) But... no, that's not the important part. * Shigeru frowns. "I... got a lot of power pretty much overnight. I mean, more powerful. Conditions were like they were now... kind of." It took me a few months to get it under control. * Shigeru grimaces. * Chelsea nods. ...but what about Cal? What can we do for him? ( Give him the Mind Combat equivalent to prozac! ) * Shigeru blinks and takes a deep breath. "You're right. More important right now." He sits back down, in front of Calvin this time. (Possible. ^_^) ( Funnily enough, you all got a lot of power overnight. And it's only been a few hours ^_^ ) ( Go to my house and have him stay with a woman who tries to seduce every male human she comes into contact with? ) (Hey, Brett, it actually *fits* with Shig. :P) ( Oh man... this is gonna end badly, I know it. ) * Shigeru concentrates on Calvin, but for some reason the rest of you can hear it, too. ~Hey, Calvin? Can you hear me?~ * Calvin does not respond. * Hikaru blinks. ~Look. I know you're in there. If you're going to wallow in your own misery, you'd might as well share it with someone who'd be able to get a better idea than anyone else. We need you.~ ( Did Hikaru leave a note for Vicki before traipsing off to Norii's house? ^_~ ) * Calvin does not respond. * Norii gently puts a hand on Cal's shoulder. "C'mon, Cal, you can beat this..." ( This isn't the same day as before, I think. ) * Chelsea frowms. * Calvin does not respond. ( It is. It's a few hours after :P ) ( I thought it was like much later that evening. ) ( Oh. I think we're assuming that Vicki went home. ) ( I thought they were all going to Vicki's house for Pizza, and inviting Kaira... ) (That was a while ago. :P) ( Don't worry about it too much. We just ended up at my place, is all. ) ( That was before she kidnapped Miyu. ) ( Umm, I thought we were bringing Cal and Hikaru to my house.... ) * Shigeru grumbles. "This is *not* funny." ( Tris: You weren't here, so... Brett rolled the dice. ^_^;; ) ( Nobody ever decided for certain, so I rolled a die. And Norii's the lucky winner :P ) * Shigeru waves his hand in front of Calvin's face again. ~Don't make me try something nasty,~ he thinks to Calvin in a not-very-menacing tone, ~I'm not going to let you sit there and do nothing while we do all the work.~ ( Which is funny, since she's like the least obvious choice ^_^ ) * Calvin does not respond. ( Yeah, not nearly enough furniture. ) ... *** Tris-chan is now known as Vicki * Shigeru spots the sword Calvin's clutching. Hm. ( Let's all assume I've been there all along, mmmkay? ) ... ( She kidnapped your friend, so you're not going to buy her pizza? ) * Shigeru looks over to Norii and Chelsea, then jerks a thumb at the sword. "Should I try it?" ( Works for me. ) You know, we should probably take the sword...again. ( Will not say anything, will not say anything. ) ...I don't think you'd want to try that... he might do something... It could be ugly... are you all ready to hold him down? (You're doing a good job of not saying anything. ^_^) Go right ahead, Shig. Something's better than nothing. Unless you *want* me to rip apart his memories. Yeah. ( He can't say anything :P ) * Shigeru takes a deep breath. "This is going to get me killed, I just know it." He reaches out and puts his hand on the hilt. * Calvin does not respond, but has a tight grip on his mother's sword. I think you'd have to pry it out of his hands.... ... So, who's gonna volunteer to help get the blood out of the carpet? Somebody else pry his hands, please? I don't want to accidentally read his thoughts again. .... Look, I think it's a bad idea. Aww hell, I'll do it. (quietly) Just draw the sword. * Vicki grips Calvin's hands and attempts to pry them from the sword. * Calvin does not respond, but his hands have an iron grip. * Hikaru holds his breath. ( If you want to do it, you're gonna have to roll. ) ( Ok, opposed body rolls. ) Great. Calvin's not giving up his edged steel security blanket. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Calvin (2d6) and gets 11. ( Dicesuke, you bitch! ) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Norii (2d6) and gets 9. ( @_@ ) (*laughs*) ( I'm assuming that if we both fail, nothing happens... ) ( I'd say this goes to whoever failed by less ) (Yah.) ( Isn't Vicki supposed to be prying? ) Uh... probably him. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Vicki (2d6) and gets 7. ( ) ( Are Vicki and Norii doing it at the same time? ) ( Did I get a prize? ^_~ ) ( I think so... ) ( Like I would even bother if it was just me? ) ( Apparently. ) ( Heh. ) ( Well? Do they get it? ) ( I mean, I didn't even remember to adjust that roll. ) ( If they did, this gets bloody. ) [Between the two of them, Vicki and Norii yank the sword from Calvin's grasp] ( Ah, dammit. ) * Calvin lunges for his mother's sword. Ack! ( he wants the sword for a reason. ^^; ) Ah-ah-ahhhhh... Crap! (Duh. ;P) * Vicki goes invis. * Chelsea jumps to her feet. * Norii curls up around the sword. * Calvin follows Vicki with his head. * Calvin lunges for Vicki. * Hikaru moves to restrain Calvin. ( Combat, anybody? ) (I'd vote for just roleplaying this.) ( Psychic Prozac! ) (Dem, you are too into this brainmunching thing. >.>) ( If you think it's necessary... I kinda don't though... ) ( Heh. ) ( Shi: Um, he wants to kill you. Badly. ) (Oh, I know that.) ( Actually, Vicki, since she has the sword. ) Shig!?! Vicki! Give it back to him, he's awake already!) ( Well, Vicki's invisible, so... ) (*kicks the typo demon*) ( Uh, Norii has it. Doesn't she? ) ( Brett: Liek that matters to me? ) Give him back the sword! ( Who the hell has it? ) ( I RP'd that I did, but... ) Me? ( Who has the sword! ) Or Norii. I don't know. ( Ok, roll initiative so my head doesn't explode X.x ) Just give the damn sword back! What sword? *whistles* *** Guido has quit IRC (guido.sard@AStrasbourg-201-1-2-194.abo.wanadoo.fr) (Quit: Leaving) ( "That's what I'm asking you!" "But Who's got the sword" "What?" "No, What has the Nagitana" ) ( Er, nevermind. Doesn't look like it'll matter @_@ ) ( Not now, Dem. ) * Calvin lunges and grabs the blade grip of his mother's sword. Let go of it! ( Um... Cal? ) ( Yes? ) Just let him have it! * Norii eeeeks! and backs away. ( If Vicki has the sword, she's invis, and therefore the sword is too. ) * Shigeru looks around. "This isn't funny. Where the hell is Vicki?" ( Or does Norii have it? I'm confused X.x ) Right here, of course. Hee! ( Brett: Like it matters to me? You said yourself that I'm now practically invulnerable to blindness of any sort. ) ( I just pretended to have it? ) Why should I give it back? ( I've got senses three times as good as a normal human, and training in blindfighting. ) He's gonna kill himself with it anyway. Because he's going to kill you! ( Well, you won't know if you're grabbing the hilt or blade, or whatever :P ) ( You could be grabbing my tail. ) If he's totally berserk without it, tho... ( And you don't wanna grab the blade, do you? :P ) ( I don't think it matters to Calvin right now. ^^; ) * Shigeru turns in direction of the voice and sends, though everyone else can here it too, ~Because if you don't, I'm going to kill you first. We were just trying to wake him up!~ * Vicki pouts, though no one can see it. "Oh fine. You guys are no fun." (here -> hear) * Hikaru glares at Shigeru. "You don't have to threaten her." This isn't about fun. ( Your senses are good, but they won't help detect something that you can only see (or feel, but feeling might be dangerous...) ) * Shigeru blinks. "Threaten?" * Vicki reappears, sitting on a chair. * Shigeru looks at Hikaru in surprise. Yeah, you don't have to threaten me. * Calvin goes for the sword now, then. I mean, do you realize how long it's been since I've been able to do something like this? Giving it back goes against my nature. I AM a kitsune, you know. * Hikaru rushes over to Calvin and Vicki, ready to tackle Calvin if he has to. You can do it to me sometime. I'm blind without my glasses, okay? Just take them and have your fun. * Chelsea fingers her sword's hilt and licks her lips nervously. * Calvin grabs hold of the blade grip and pulls. * Norii decides to stand back and let Vicki get clobbered. Well it's no fun if you give me permi...ahh! * Vicki flies toward Calvin, still gripping the hilt of the sword. Just...let him have it! I don't want to see him kill you! @_@ Okay, okay! Sheesh!! * Calvin swings the sword around and body blocks Vicki. Oof!! * Vicki flies into the nearest convienient wall. x_x * Shigeru winces and sends a as powerful a wave of calm as he can at Calvin. * Calvin whips the sword around into an exceptionally agressive stance. ( Body blocks? ) You've got your sword! Calm down! ( It's a hockey move, Dem. ) (Hit her with his body. I....itai....x_x ( Ah ) * Calvin waits a moment to see if anyone else wants to steal his mother's sword, and then settles down into his former position. * Shigeru eyes Calvin. ... A little..help...please? x_x * Hikaru goes over to see if Vicki's okay. Okay, that didn't work. ...any other ideas? That won't involve trashing my apartment? * Hikaru helps Vicki up. Sure. I could turn his brain into swiss cheese. * Chelsea sighs, lets go of her sword's hilt, and takes Three Deep Breaths. * Norii eyes Hikaru disapprovingly. I didn't do it on purpose. This...this is crazy. sheeeeesh. *** RDMgryphon has quit IRC (RanDoMs@user-2inisve.dialup.mindspring.com) (Ping timeout) * Shigeru sighs and considers. * Chelsea tries to figure out a different solution. Any different solution. *** RDMclone2 (RanDoMs@user-2iniv72.dialup.mindspring.com) has joined #besm He's gonna try to kill us again if we try anything... What is that exactly mean? Would it be permanently damaging? * Shigeru closes his eyes and reaches out to Calvin, recieving all sensory information he does. "Somebody say something." Something. * Vicki leans on Hikaru for some support. "Note to self: don't try any more pranks in the group." ( "My name is Sam!" ) (Does Calvin hear that? ^_^) * Calvin hears, but his brain does not process the information. * Shigeru frowns slightly. Not on him, at least. He's...scary. ( He hears, but he's not listening, basically. ) (I figured.) Well, he's had a tough week. He's only scary when he's like this. He used to be nice. ( Make yourself look like Miyu! ) * Shigeru walks over to Calvin and sits in front of him, putting his hand on his shoulder (accidentally getting his loudest thought; I'll assume it's the same as before). ( Indeed. ) ( No illusion magic yet. ) ( Later though. After I get my second tail." ) Well, I don't know him...I guess. But... he's a hunter. Speaking of not knowing people... * Vicki plops back down on the floor. "I'm not of any use in this situation, so...tell me about you, Hikaru!" My...my parents told me about people like him. That they'd try to kill us. * Shigeru concentrates and sends directly into Calvin's mind, where he hopefully can't ignore it, ~You're not a failure. You did the best you could. Hell, *I* was more of a failure than you were. What we need to do now is save Miyu. Don't make us do this alone.~ Yes, the rest of you can't help but eavesdrop. * Calvin does not respond. I just don't have- ...what's there to tell, really? *slumps down against a wall* You know, maybe one or two of us could stay behind while the rest of you look for Miyu. * Shigeru scowls. ~Damn you, don't *do* this. I know how it feels, okay, I know how bad things have to be to act like this, but you can't just sit here clutching that sword all the time!~ In case he tries that old samurai thing. The whole disemboweling thing. * Calvin is currently hearing the voice of his mother, over and over again, calling him a failure, and unworthy of his name. Yeah...we can't really take him with us. I volunteer myself! ( Impersonate Mom! Muahahahah! ) ( "You suck, Calvin. You suck, Calvin. You suck, Calvin". ) Since people like Miyu can see me all the time anyway. I wouldn't be of much use, you know/ But...what if he freaks out again and attacks you? That's why we have more than one person here. * Shigeru shakes his head. ~Your mom's wrong. Damnit, she's *wrong*. You're not a failure, and you're one of the best fighters I've ever seen.~ Hey, it's not like we're going to go out and look tonight. You gave up the school, and look what it got you! You failed Miyu! You're worthless! Unworthy to continue the Fort line! (Yeah, you guys hear this whole conversation. :P Well, Shigeru's part, anyway.) ( Er, that wasn't audible, of course. ) (I'd hope not.) * Shigeru gives Calvin an incredibly sad look. * Hikaru glares at Calvin. "Dammit, some sorcerous took your friend and you're just here moping! What kind of hunter are you?" ~Do you want me to help? I can try. I won't do anything you want me to. First sign of resistance and I'll stop, promise.~ ( Shigeru says ":(" ) (Har har har. ;P) * Calvin does not respond. Calvin, you do realize that you CAN save her.... Right? * Shigeru looks over to the others. "Guys. He can hear you, but he's not listening to a word you're saying." ( That's what you think. ) You haven't failed, not yet. All he's listening to right now is someone else. I can't get through to him, either. Well... I have an idea. Do you think you can immitate voices? Probably can't compete with the real thing. ( Performing Arts, I think that'd be. ) Thoughts are different from voices, anyway, if that's what you mean. * Shigeru frowns slightly. Well... * Chelsea hums. I just mean, you know, if you could imitate Miyu's mental voice....or even her real voice. That might help. * Shigeru shakes his head. ( Miyu has a high pitched voice that sounds a slight bit crazy! ) That could be good... or really, really bad. Can't. Every thought's unique. I bet someone *insanely* powerful would be able to do it, but... ( Personally, my mental voice is much different from my real voice :P ) Besides, I've never heard Miyu's thoughts. * Shigeru sighs. "I... could try looking into Calvin's head. Do more than read thoughts. It'd be the only way to get him to listen to me." ( ...argh. ) But... I've only done it once before. And you all saw how that ended up. Well, didn't see, but... yeah. ( Dinner calls. BRB. ) There has to be something. I don't like the idea of leaving him like this... * Shigeru takes a very shaky breath. "So. Should I do it?" *** Demota has quit IRC (demota@63.23.33.90) (Ping timeout) I guess it's up to you. You don't know us that well, and it's not like you owe us, or him. ( He will :P ) I... know that. But I feel a little responsible, somehow. (Sh. ^_~) * Chelsea licks her lips. "If you do, be careful. I'd like to find another solution to our problem, but short of the bit about imitating Miyu I can't think of anything, and that probably wouldn't work anyway." * Shigeru nods. "Okay. I'll be ready to withdraw at any time, then. I don't like the idea of my brain turning into mashed potatoes." * Shigeru smiles weakly. * Chelsea chuckles humorlessly. "Neither do I." Chelsea, if I... somehow die from this, thanks for being the only friend I've ever had. God, that sounded sappy. * Shigeru shrugs and pushes his glasses up his nose, then peers at Calvin, concentrating on his memories. * Chelsea smirks. "No prob, Shig. And don't worry, you'll be fine." ( Does Calvin resist? ) Don't do it if it could kill you... ( You're damn right he does. ) ( Ok Mind combat. ) ( Roll initiative ) d6+7 ( ... Crap. I should have stayed. ) * Dicesuke throws the bones for Calvin (d6+7) and gets 11. (Initiative is ACV, mind, or what?) ( I'm assuming it's same as normal. ) ( The usual. ) d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Shigeru (d6+6) and gets 11. ( Heh ) (Sorry! :P) *** Demota (demota@1Cust109.tnt11.sfo3.da.uu.net) has joined #BESM ( >_< ) *** Daisuke sets mode: +o Demota ( Paste what I missed since my last line? -_- ) ( Alright... Calvin can try to push Shigeru out, or make a mind attack. Or he can take a physical action. Shigeru can withdraw at anytime, but can't make any physical actions without doing so. ) ( Not in channel, please, it's been a while. ) ( I'm not asking for it in channel ) * Calvin is waiting for Shig to do something. ( He's surrendering initiative for now, basically. ) ( For an attack, roll 2d6 and try to get below your mind. ) (Equal or lower, yeah.) ( And if Calvin wants to push Shigeru out, that's Average of mind and soul rounded up. ) (Mind and soul halved, rounded up. ^_~) (Withdrawing when you're defense is hell.) ( And... Action! :P ) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Shigeru (2d6) and gets 4. * Calvin , his mother (who looks like an american), an older japanese man, and a boy who looks like an older, prettier version of Calvin, with an adam's apple, all turn to look at Shigeru's mental manifestation. * Shigeru waves. "Hey Calvin, come back to us." INVADER! DIE! ( Someone paste what I missed over /msg? X.x ) * Shigeru winces. "Didn't want to do this." He points his hand at them, and a wave of energy flies at them. (It hit, by the by, I already rolled.) ( Yeah, I saw. ) [Calvin shudders a bit] ( Gonna take the held action, Cal? ) * Calvin, his mother, and his brother all draw broadswords and rush at Shigeru. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Calvin (2d6) and gets 11. ( Damn, Dicesuke... ) ( Who the hell are you cheering for? ) * Shigeru 's eyes widen. ( Next round ) * The three Hunters continue their dance of steel around Shigeru. ( No defense in mind combat. Ain't it great? ^_^ ) * Shigeru stands there and yells to the sky. "Calvin! Don't make me turn these... people into cottage cheese!" 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Calvin (2d6) and gets 8. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Shigeru (2d6) and gets 7. *** Demota has quit IRC (demota@1Cust109.tnt11.sfo3.da.uu.net) (Ping timeout) * Hikaru chews on his lip as he watches Shigeru and Calvin just sitting there. [Next round] * Shigeru glares at the mother. "You. You keep telling him he's weak and a failure." 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Shigeru (2d6) and gets 9. * The psychic manifestations shatter. *** Demota (demota@1Cust79.tnt8.sfo3.da.uu.net) has joined #BESM ~ I can't even defend my own mind!!! ~ *** Daisuke sets mode: +o Demota * In the physical world, Calvin raises his sword in an instant and shoves it through his heart. * Shigeru blinks (not in real life; he's just staring at him eerily). Calvin? [The sword stops at Calvin's chest.] [...] [Next round] Shit! What happened? * Shigeru walks around. "Calvin, come out. Talk to me. Please." I know you don't know me from Random J. Schoolmate, but hell, get your ass out here! [Next round, if you're continuing Mind combat] * Calvin snaps his eyes open, and struggles to push the sword through his chest. [The sword can't seem to penetrate.] (Can I kinda sorta tell what's happening, or not?) *** Demotafk (demota@1Cust62.tnt9.sfo3.da.uu.net) has joined #BESM Damn it.... ( Sorta. ) ( GODDAMMIT. >_< ) ( You can still see and stuff. Just can't act. ) *** Daisuke sets mode: +o Demotafk ( And it's Shigeru's turn. ) * Shigeru screams. "Don't do this to yourself!" 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Shigeru (2d6) and gets 8. .... *** Demota has quit IRC (demota@1Cust79.tnt8.sfo3.da.uu.net) (Ping timeout) He's gonna kill himself... ( No effect. ) [Next round] 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Shigeru (2d6) and gets 7. I'd try to grab the sword... but he'd just go berserk again... I...think we should do something....or something...maybe... [Calvin's eyes go blank * Calvin collapses on the floor, crying. ] * Norii (belatedly) screams. ( Calvin rolls to kill himself! Critical Miss, Calvin stabs Eoi. Oh wait, Eoi isn't here. ) * Shigeru takes a few deep breaths. ... Did....did it work? (I'm making these actions in his mindscape, by the by.) Calvin? Calvin, talk to me. * Hikaru sighs, somewhat relieved. ...Can we take the sword now? At least...at least he put the sword down. I still feel...nervous with that thing out. ( Calvin, talk to you? Folks. Think about this. ) (This is in his HEAD. He can talk. :P Especially if I order him to, in this case.) I don't think we should. He might freak again... * Calvin is putty in Shigeru's hands. *** Demota (demota@1Cust201.tnt10.sfo3.da.uu.net) has joined #BESM Calvin? * Shigeru tries to sense something. And we might mess up whatever's going on in their heads, somehow... *** Daisuke sets mode: +o Demota (Anything from Calvin. At all.) ( Nope. He's a veggie. ) ( Tomato? ) ( Tomato is a fruit. ) * Shigeru sits in the mindscape and looks around blankly. "What?" He starts crying. "This isn't fair." *** Demotafk has quit IRC (demota@1Cust62.tnt9.sfo3.da.uu.net) (Ping timeout) ( I always think cabbage when I use that expression, personally :P ) (Cabbage patch kids o/~ * Shigeru takes a few shuddering breaths. "I'm going to hate myself in the morning. Hell, I hate myself now." ( "Tomato" has a *very* different connotation ) * Shigeru looks up. "Calvin! Pull yourself together! Please... that's not an order or anything, but... we need you, and w- they care about you. Know that much. We don't think you're a failure, or a disappointment, or unworthy of anything." I- I don't want to do anything to your mind. I don't want to play with your memories, or... anything. So you can have it all back the way it was. *** Demota has quit IRC (demota@1Cust201.tnt10.sfo3.da.uu.net) (Ping timeout) Just remember that, okay? You can hate me for what you've done, and I wouldn't mind as long as you live. (you've -> I've) (I'm in rare form tonight. ;P) * Shigeru concentrates, withdrawing from Calvin's mind. *** Demota (demota@1Cust219.tnt1.sausalito3.ca.da.uu.net) has joined #BESM *** Daisuke sets mode: +o Demota * Shigeru blinks twice. Ah. How's Calvin? ( How long till I wake up? ) ( As soon as he withdraws. ) * Calvin begins to cry. What...what happened? How'd it go?... ah. ... Is this a bad thing? I... did something, but didn't. Calvin knows. ?me kneels on the floor beside Cl. "Calvin? * Chelsea walks over and sits on the floor near Shig and Cal. ( Gah. ) * Calvin stops after a few moments, and stands slowly. * Shigeru looks up at Calvin. "If you want to kill me, I won't mind," he says in an even tone. "You can do it, really... I'd almost appreciate it." * Calvin steps over to Shigeru, and reaches out to touch his forehead. *whispered* Cal? * Shigeru blinks. (You can think to him right now, Calvin, yeah.) * Chelsea rolls her shoulders. * Hikaru watches intently. *** Demotafk (demota@1Cust232.tnt15.sfo3.da.uu.net) has joined #BESM ...He's not on a rampage and he's not silent. This is a good thing. Can we celebrate yet? * Calvin touches his finger to Shigeru's head and [THINKS] at him. ~ I don't know if you can hear this. I don't care. Invade my mind again, Mindtwister, and you had best kill me, or I will surely kill you. ~ *** Daisuke sets mode: +o Demotafk I'm...not sure. * Shigeru smiles slightly. ~Only if you stop me from killing myself first.~ * Calvin whirls his mother's sword and sheathes it in an instant. Don't break the booze out just yet, Vicki. ( Well, at least you got him standing ...I was thinking more along the lines of pizza, but... It does look like progress, though... * Calvin signs, *** Demota has quit IRC (demota@1Cust219.tnt1.sausalito3.ca.da.uu.net) (Ping timeout) Alright, then. Let's get some chow. *** Demotafk is now known as Demota * Shigeru stands up and goes to his computer, turning it off and unplugging it. Food sounds good, right now. I don't have anything in my fridge... * Shigeru packs up his laptop and turns to the group. I'm sorry, but... I'm not hungry. I STILL want to go to my house... ( We about done here? Roommate wants to go online... ) ( I'm done. ) I think I'll go back to my room and hack. Or sleep. Hell, maybe I've got new nightmares to enjoy. Look, you guys go. There's some things I need to do. Know any places that deliver? It'll be my treat. (Sure, we can be done. ^_^ ) * Shigeru winces. "And I don't think Calvin wants me around. I'll be at the club tomorrow." He waves and wanders out. (Fine with me. ) (Yup.) Shigeru, can we talk? This morning, maybe, if you need to go, now? * Chelsea raises an eyebrow. * Shigeru peeks his head back in the door. "I... yeah. Sure." I'll just... stay here then. You guys go. (to Chelsea) No, not that. * Chelsea chuckles. *** Demota has quit IRC (demota@1Cust232.tnt15.sfo3.da.uu.net) (Write Error: Broken pipe) ( Shall I end? ) (you do that.) In fact, let's meet for breakfast. At the snack bar, maybe? * Calvin grabs Shigeru by the lapel and drags him out the door. [ChibiSession End.
