[SESSION START] Ouch. Ouch. In fact, very ouch. They don't call him a legendary swordsman for nothing. Ow. Pain. Pain... * Chelsea grins and ruffles Shigeru's hair. "Good job, Shiggy." * Calvin doesn't move. ( And yes, you are :P ) * Shigeru blushes slightly and shrugs. "He's going to be back, you know." * Eoi stands up and leans on his Naginata. Nice work. Very nice. * Chelsea thinks a bit and nods. "Prolly, yeah." No, definitely. ...thanks, Shigeru-san. I caught a stray thought. It was just screaming; I couldn't *not* hear it. ...from who? * Shigeru nods in Hikaru's direction. Oh? What'd was this thought? (-'d) -'d) is not a valid number Chelsea. From... from the man who called himself Vicki's father. * Shigeru sighs. "He was pleased with himself. Very pleased. Something about knowing our weaknesses." ... * Eoi frowns. I get the feeling he wasn't all that intent on nabbing Vicki, so much as testing us. Well. That bodes. * Chelsea sighs. "Oh, that's teriffic." *** NovaSeaker is now known as NovaNotHere * Eoi winces. ...wonderful. ... freak. Ouch. That really hurt. So.. did he tell us where to find Miyu? Yeah, pretty much. * Shigeru nods and smiles slightly. "If he didn't, I think Kojiro would've killed him himself." Good to hear. So.. Where is our lost ally? ( He's already dead :P ) (Sh. ;P) ( Miyu is a he? ) ( No ) * Shigeru sits on the ground and grabs his laptop, booting it up and going through all the security measures completely blind. Yes, it is mildly creepy. "Some island south of here." Well. That really narrows it down. Well, he said it's called Smorfilia, but I don't think that's what it's named on any human map. ... Smorfilia? We are going to a place filled with small blue cartoon characters? * Shigeru lets a corner of his mouth quirk and nods. ( You realize he also named a number of miles, right? ^^; ) Well, as long as they don't start singing, I suppose I can handle that. (Yes. :P) * Chelsea chuckles. ( You realize that there is no island there? ) ( Despite the fact that Japan uses the metric system... ) * Shigeru sighs as he runs his fingers over the keyboard. "Someone mind being my eyes? I'm gonna do research." (Yes, Norii. ;P) * Eoi limps over to Shigeru and looks over his shoulder. ( So we go to an imaginary one. So what? ) * Norii stands behind Shigeru. ( That's the idea :P ) ( So, there not being an island there is stranger than it being populated by Smorfies? ) * Shigeru stares straight ahead. "Whoever you are, put your hand on my shoulder; it's easier. Oh, and make sure you're not thinking anything too embarrassing when you do." ( So I don't know the name of the island. So there. ) * Eoi puts his hand on Shigeru's shoulder. ( Yes you do. Smorfilia. :P ) (Loudest thought, Eoi.) * Chelsea watches the screen with some interest. ~Ok Shig. It's me, Eoi.~ ( Eoi's loudest thought it "Mustn't think of anything perverted, like that tentacle movie I watched last nigh- dammit! ) * Shigeru concetrates on Eoi, looking through his eyes. "Okay. Here we go." He starts looking for information on an island a hundred miles south of Okinawa. ( No, that would have been Norii's. ) (*laughs*) ( Heh. ) [Sadly Shigeru finds no info whatsoever because he's not connected to the internet] ( The future doesn't have sattelite internet connection? ) ( He doesn't have a map program? ) (Shigeru *does* have satellite internet connection, Brett. :P) (And likely that, too.) ( Oh :P ) ( Can't blame me for not knowing something like that existed :P ) ( Come to think of it, the future doesn't have very many futuristic- like things. ^^; ) This is handy. Faster than my hardbound atlas back home. [Shigeru finds info on the island. It's called... um... We'll say Nero.] (It's not *that* far into the future. ^_^ And as for the connection, Brett, it's on his character sheet. ^_~) ( Panycoras! ) ( No ) ( Well, when they say "next generation", I generally imagine about 33 years advancement in technology. ^^; ) * Shigeru hmms and gets online, looking for information on Nero. Nero? Huh. Nero... Nero. Sounds fun. You found it? ( Let us ride... TO NERO! ) Yup. [There's no airport there, so the only way there is through a sea route (or helicopter). A ferry runs there regularly from Nagasaki.] ( o/~ We're the Smorfies of Island Nero! o/~ ) * Chelsea hums. * Shigeru smiles and up information on the ferry. (looks up, even. ^^) So, when does the next boat leave? Checking. [The island itself is mostly covered by a small town. With a forest near the end.] ...you guys are awfully beat up. We ought to take a day, at least, to heal. [The ferry runs regularly every four hours. Mostly it carries supplies.] * Calvin sits up. * Calvin signs, Well, As much as I'd like too.. *** Calli has quit IRC (Gally@183.santabarbara-01rs13-14rt.ca.dial- access.att.net) (Ping timeout) * Calvin signs, * Shigeru hrms and tries to find prices for the ferry. Miyu has been there for a while. [Calvin almost falls down again as he tries to sit up.] Cal, if we go today, you'll probably just pass out on the way down there.] Cal.. I say we rest a day, get better prepared. * Calvin signs, Does it say how long the boat ride is? Eoi, do me a favor. As much as I like seeing what Calvin's saying, I need to look at the screen to do this. Gah! sorry. * Eoi looks back at the screen. * Shigeru snickers. "Thanks." [Prices are approximately $100 per person, with a group price (above 5 people) of $90 per] * Shigeru whistles. "Ninety dollars per person." .... Jeez. Bleah. I'm spending too much money this month. ( Technically, it's in yen. ) * Chelsea sighs. "Anyone got that kind of cash on hand?" ( But I'm using dollars to make it easier for myself :P ) Well, I sure as hell can't afford it. (Yes. ^_^) I can dig up my fare... ( just kick the decimal 2 places to the right. :P ) * Shigeru goes back to looking up information on Nero. Particularly the forest and any local legends. I can fund it... this time. ( I know, Dem :P ) ( Not exact, but close enough ) ( Heh ) * Calvin signs, ( Calvin is Ock! ) I can pay my way. Folks, I honestly think we should rest, if just for a bit. [Shigeru finds very little information on the island. He does find a report that talks about how the people seem... less than accomidating to people from the mainland. But there's nothing of great interest IN Nero to begin with, so it's their loss.] * Eoi continues looking at the screen while saying this. * Shigeru sighs. "Damn. Well, no information there." ...I don't think it matters that much. We can't fight them, even if we ARE in top condition. ...you'd think they'd notice people flying around... ( Everyone but Shigeru make a mind roll. ) ( At +2 ) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Hikaru (2d6) and gets 8. I could probably look up Smorfies, but sorting relavent from junk would take days. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Norii (2d6) and gets 6. 2d6+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Eoi (2d6+2) and gets 6. 2d6+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chelsea (2d6+2) and gets 7. ( Made it! ) (Made it.) 2d6+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Calvin (2d6+2) and gets 4, "That's a critical success, don't think this means I like you." Even junk would be more than we have now. ( ... Lucky bastard ) ( Yep. ) ( Well, at least I made it too. ) I made mine the first time. ( ) Everyone who made it realizes Nakamura might have some connections. Nakamura might have some connections. ( ...huh? ) Eh? How do ya mean, Eoi? * Kimiko blinks Er? I mean, yeah, he's head of this club and I'm blind because we tried breaking into his apartment... Who's in his contact list, Shig? * Chelsea hums. "Y'don't suppose... Huh. I think you might be right, Eoi. Just maybe." * Chelsea chuckles. Yeah. * Shigeru considers. "Point. Let's take a look." * Shigeru closes the window, opens a new one, goes through an insane number of security measures, and ends up in his copy of Nakamura's hard drive. * Calvin signs, Like what, Calvin? What's Calvin saying? * Calvin signs, <...harbor.> Huh? (Help lead me through this, GM. ;P) Eh? * Calvin signs, ( What are you looking for? :P ) (Naka's contact list.) * Chelsea blinks. "Ah ha." [Shigeru finds three folders: Friends, acquaintences, and clients] * Shigeru checks under Friends. "Clients?" Oh, okay, the people who hire us. Cheapskates. You guys get paid? I think we do. Not nearly enough. It's been a while. * Chelsea chuckles. [Shigeru finds a large number of files, amongst them spotting the HypnoGuy.[ ( Stupid brackets. ) * Shigeru blinks at the forest in front of him. "HypnoGuy?" ( Stupid brackets. I hate them SO MUCH (/3 points) ) Hypnoguy? * Shigeru looks under that file. Hypnoguy? ( The guy who tried to unlock Miyu's memory. ) [Shigeru finds info about the Hypnoguy. Most of it can be related by reading the session 12 log] (Which I am not going to do at the moment. :P) [Some of the other files, MC recognizes as various teachers in Fugahoka] Hmm. It would be worth spending a day running these guys down. * Shigeru laughs. "And looking up information on Kimiko, yeah. But that's not important right now." Perhaps. 'd be easier for to just pay. A bit expensive, but.. * Chelsea chuckles. * Shigeru exits that section and checks under Acquaintances while the others talk. ( I still don't get exactly what it is we were supposed to realize on that roll, Brett) ) Well, from what I heard, Calvin had some sort of idea. [A larger list of files, many of which are incomplete. These seem to be little more than a listing of people who owe Nakamura a favor.] ( You were supposed to realize that Nakamura might know something about the island, I think ) We did these sailors a favor, and they owe us one. But I dunno if they could get us down there. * Chelsea shrugs. "Worth a shot, I suppose." * Shigeru sighs and reaches up to push his glasses up his nose, then frowns and goes back to checking. * Chelsea yawns sleepily. Can't hurt. [Time: 9:00 AM] ( So there are notes on each contact? ) (Apparently.) It's be nice to rest for a bit too.. ^_^; ( There's not much on them. ) Like I said, mostly a list of people who owe him a favor. ( Yah, but more than just a name and number? ) ( Occupation. ) * Shigeru tries looking up someone who'd have the resources to get them to Nero. ( A few have side notes, like "Cleared ghost from attic" or something ) Damn ghost. ( In which folder? ) * Shigeru snickers. (Acquaintences.) At least that one wasn't dangerous, just annoying. Yeah. I miss that ghost. [Shigeru doesn't find anything especially helpful.] Heh. Sounds like I missed out on more fun. * Shigeru sighs, considers, and does the same under Friends. * Hikaru stares off into space. * Shigeru doesn't notice! [Aside from the teachers, anyone who could help in this situation doesn't live in Japan] (Whoo! Go Shig!) [Shigeru does find that the most recently accessed file is one of a "magician" living in Luxembourg.] Geez... how long is this going to take? Eh. I'm desperate enough to check Clients. Other than that, we- eh? * Shigeru looks under that file. * Chelsea hums. OooOOOoooh. [Aside from what I just mentioned, the file explains that the man is very strange and probably doesn't have all of his marbles. But he's also rather a powerful magician.] (Any contact information?) Now *there's* a number we should call. Hell yes. Someone do it. Indeed. Damn straight. * Norii whips out the cell phone. * Chelsea pulls out her cel phone. "I'll call. I speak the lingos." Does someone have a cell-phone? Call! Call damn you! ...good idea. * Hikaru looks back to the group. "Found something?" [A phone number, marked to only be called on the day a week before a full moon, at 11:23 (Luxembourg time) PM precisely] ... ( ... You bastard. ((_^ ) Yeah. Nakamura's friend, apparently. ( Brett, why do you do this crap to us? ) ( Told ya he was screwy :P ) Weird Call it anyway. Er. I don't suppose you have a calendar on there that can tell us how cose it is to a full moon, Shig? ( Beats me. I already gave Calvin the info. ) ( I'm surprised you're not following it :P ) ( I can't see what Calvin is saying! ) ( Otherwise I would! ) (Neither can I. ^^;) ( Because you gave us a couple of hints now in different directions. ) Is Calvin saying anything guys? I can't really see? (It's been repeated out loud, I think.) ( Yeah, I basically repeated it. ) (Missed it. ^^;) (Right. I'll say it once more, just for the sake of redundancy. ^_^_v) He said something about a sailor owing us a favor for getting rid of that ice ghost. (Ack. Phone.)] Well geez. Why don't we go follow that up then? Are you getting an answer, Chel? Why bother mucking around with all this. Let's get that damn sailor to take us to the island of the Smorfys. What are you guys looking for, anyway? Haven't dialed yet. I usually prefer to follow mysterious warnings like 'only a week before the full moon'. We're mucking around because I don't think we should go today. [The last full moon was the day before Nakamura left, btw] Why? ( Er... a week before the full moon, that is. ) Because me and Calvin are almost dead? (Swell.) * Eoi winces. Yeah. That sounds like a good reason to me. Hm... I'd say we wait until tommorow. Almost dead is a good reason, yes. * Calvin climbs slowly to his feet. * Calvin signs, Norii has a medkit, doesn't she? Someone gets in contact with Sailor-boy, we meet up and go to the island nice and fresh. I've got a medkit too Kimiko. ...I think he'll go without us if we wait a day. * Calvin signs, That isn't going to help us much. Hm? Oh yeah. ( A medkit does not work miracles :P ) Is Calvin saying something? ( Unless you're in an FPS. ) (Back.) ( True ) Calvin wants to go right now and rest on the way. ... Well, That means A) We go now or B) Calvin goes without us. Cal, if you got in a fight now, you'd be useless... but you're right. It is going to take a day to get there. Depending on how long the ride would be, that'd be good. When does that ferry run? * Chelsea nods. So, we better do A. GUess so. I'm going to sleep the whole way there. Ow. *wince* * Shigeru looks up the time for the next departure for the ferry. Alright. So, does anyone know the sailor's phone number, or will we have to go find him? * Calvin signs, <...I need a blade.> He would probably be in the clients list. ( Every 4 hours, from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM ) And that's an even better reason not to rush off, Cal. Ferry leaves in about three hours. What'd he say? * Calvin picks up the remains of his practice blade and buries it in the sand, hilt sticking up like a cross. What's a good reason not to rush off? No sword. Oh. I have a spare at home that you can use, Cal. I've got an extra Naginata he can use if he want.. but he's a sword guy. All I've got is a pocket knife. * Shigeru shrugs. "Failing that, he can use mine. It's been gathering dust in the corner of my room." ( Geez. Does anyone NOT have a sword?! ) ( Me. :P ) You don't seem like much of a sword guy, Shiggy. The blade's a bit lighter than what you're used to, but it'll work. (Shig never *uses* his. ;P) ( Me. ) I'm not. * Calvin signs, * Shigeru snickers. "It was a present from Chelsea. Aside from *really* basic self defense, I'd just cut myself with it." * Chelsea chuckles. "True enough. Haven't gotten many lessons in with it." * Shigeru turns off his computer. "Well, let's get going. Stop and get Calvin a sword, then get something to eat. We can rest on the way there." Did you get that number for the sailors? Damn. Forgot about that. ( I hope we can sliptime past some of that ((_^ ) * Eoi is about to remove his hand from Shig's shoulder, but stops when he hears that. ( Ok, I'll sliptime right to the ghost ship :P ) Still need my eyes Shig? * Shigeru grumbles as he gets back onto his computer, then his copy of Nakamura's, then looks up those sailors. (Yay! :P) ( Brett: Ghost Ship? Woo! ) Just a sec. (Until Brett sliptimes. ^_~) [And so MC got the sailor's number, returned home, got Calvin a sword, contacted the sailor, and are now in the middle of the ocean on their merry way] ...that went fast. * Eoi leans back against something and rests. Sure was. * Eoi leans his head forward and drops off to sleep. ( /me nearly gets thrown out of his seat by the acceleration. ) ( What sword did Cal get? ) [Time: 12:00 AM] ( Rapier ) * Shigeru sighs as he slumps to the floor and stares ahead. Yep. Fast. Well, you know what they way about time flying when you're wounded. ( midnight? ) (Cal> Heavy rapier.) * Calvin sits back against a wall, rapier braced against his shoulder. [PM. Sorry ] (He got one of Chelsea's swords, I think. ^_^) ( We did all that in less than two hours? ) * Hikaru slumps in his seat and rests. (We're that good.) ( 3 hours ) ( Since we're resting, do we heal? ) ( An hour to get back to the U. ) ( And since Cal wanted to hurry, I assumed so. ) [Fine. Time: 2:00 PM. Happy?] ( No! We need to heal more! ) * Chelsea lounges about as best she can under the circumstances. ( It was my understanding that you were leaving right away. ) (We were. :P I don't know what the problem is. ^^;) (Minisession suggestion for the future: Mystery Club truth or dare. Anyway!) ( Calvin wanted to. I wanted to sit on him until he was strong enough to get through us. ^_^ ) * Eoi leans his head back and fails to go to sleep. "It's hard to go to sleep at 2 in the afternoon." ( You could do it right now. :P ) So. What do you suppose this Nero Island is like? (True. We've got time to murder. :P) (Hee!) ( Brett: ... ((_@ ) So. Anyone bring some cards? * Shigeru shakes his head. * Kimiko (returns and scrolls up. x.x ) * Norii taps at her PDA, adjusting her portfolio slightly. * Calvin sleeps. Not playing cards, no. Mm. I'm going to try to get to sleep again then. Good idea. Good luck. * Eoi lays down.. somewhere and tries to go to sleep. [The boat rocks back and forth, back and forth...] * Kimiko sleeps. z.z * Chelsea nods. "Sweet dreams, and all that." ( Lemme know if you guys are planning on RPing or anything, or if I should just cut past this. ) Zzzz. ( I'm sleeping. Feel free to cut. ) * Hikaru snores. ( No objections from me. Calvin badly needs sleep. ) ( Not much I can do to get Cal and Eoi to heal faster... ) * Shigeru yawns and blinks tiredly. [Time: 3:00 PM] ( Yeah.. ) * Chelsea catches a quick nap, too. [The ship sails into a mysterious fog] ( WHat's normal healing rate, anyway? Body x 2 per hour? ) ( It's scalable by campaign. ) ( Yay! Mysterious Fog! ) ( I said normal. ) ( I thought it was x1, but technically it's what I say it is :P ) ( I love Mysterious Fog! ) ( Heh ) ( Dunno what Brett's been using, but it's damn fast. ) ( Yay. Now everyone with a Seru will turn into a monster ) ( It's like regular fog, only more Mysterious. And deadly. ) [And the ship sails out of it after about 15 minutes] ( Agh! It's the Mists! We're going to wake up in Ravenloft! ) ( I thought that we had to find the Ilfa Tree and kill the monster inside to get rid of the Mist? ) ( Or perhaps there are evil demons in the mist. From a Silent town. ) [Time: 4:00 PM. Anyone who's still awake can see land not too far away] * Chelsea sings softly. "o/~ Anois, t'aim bnartha, 's tad ar--eh?" * Shigeru hums to himself, trying to stay awake. Zzzz. "Mmm. Pie.." (Who knew Eoi had a pie fetish?) Hm. Land ahoy. ( Klingon national anthem? ) About time. * Shigeru makes no move to get up, though. ( According to BESM 2e, it's *10*/hour. @@; ) (No. Celtic song. :P) * Eoi opens an eye. ... no, Eoi, that's my pot pie... z.z Land? Groovy. * Kimiko is forced awake. @_@ ( 2 points to the ref ) ( ... South Park. ) ( That's not work 2 points. ) ( worth even. ) * Kimiko (hands 2 points to Eoi ) * Chelsea stands and tries to get a better look. [After some rest, you're feeling better. But Calvin and Eoi are still in much pain, and Shig is somewhat tired] * Eoi stands up and stretches... and winces. Ow. Ow. Pain. x.x ... There's NO WAY that could be it. Anyway. This is Smorfy Island? Nifty. * Shigeru rubs at his temples. "What can't be it?" *** RDMgryphon (RanDoMs@user-2iniseq.dialup.mindspring.com) has joined #besm * Hikaru rubs his eyes blearily. ( Chel: It sounded like Klingon... ) * Calvin stands slowly and eyes the land. * Kimiko looks. [The island is very unusual. It looks... normal] ( ... The hell? ) I think you're right, Norii. We haven't been under weigh long enough for this to be Smorfillia. Hee. I love that name. .... we went all this way for THIS? ( The Island is veyr unusual! It looks NORMAL! ) ( Well, given how Miyu acts... ) ( Yes you have. :P ) So, this ISN'T the place? Or is it? * Shigeru sighs and grabs his walking stick, using it to help him stand. "Chelsea, mind if I borrow your eyes for a sec?" ( Dear goddess, I'm tired. Zodiak _really_ took a bite out of my energy reserves. ) ( You've been sailing for a good 2 hours. Boats move faster than cars. ) * Eoi stretches. "Ah." ( Poor Ninja. ) We've been on the boat for what, two hours? And traveled 1200 miles. No way. ( And Philly is about 200 miles from where I live. Takes me 2 hours to get there. ) ( Don't be too tired for El WHAT?! ) ( 100 Miles. ) ( Brett: Yay! Philly kicks ass! ) ( BLargh. ) Sure thing, Shig. ::puts her hand on Shig's head:: ( Not 1200. ) (Loudest thought, Chel.) ( *Atom beams with town pride* ) ( 100 miles south of Okinawa, wasn't it? ) ( Yup ) * Shigeru concentrates and sees the island. "Well, that's expected. If they get a ferry every four hours, it'd better look normal." I wonder how they react to the little blue natives? ~ This better not have anything to do with that mysterious fog. ~ Who would want to live on a dinky little place like this? Lotsa people. ( And Brett, boats travel slower than cars. By a factor of at least two. ) Probably the point, Kimiko. Keeps away visitors. [The island seems to have a town-sized dwelling in the front, with the tops of trees looming in the back. * Eoi points at the town-sized dwelling. How does that look for a first stop? * Chelsea hums. "Although it does match the description." Better than forest Cool. ...no way. Well, it *looked* normal. [Time: 4:15 The boat stops on the only dock in the port. Two natives approach from a small building on the end of the dock to meet it.] * Chelsea shrugs. "Maybe we should just ask the sailors. They're more likely to know than us, anyway." *** KirbyWithShades is now known as TallNative So...is the town going to be full of purple haired people or something? *** Kirby is now known as ShortNative Remember. Nobody say anything stupid. * Shigeru snickers. [They both look like normal Japanese men :P] [In normal Japanese clothing :P] ( Eoi turns around "Give us Miyu before I kick your ass!" Didn't he just say "Don't say anything stupid?" ) Hello! * Calvin refrains from saying anything stupid. * Chelsea waits to see how long it is before Eoi says anything stupid. * Shigeru sees the natives through Chelsea's eyes, then switches his concentration to them, trying to get some idea of their thoughts and emotions. Good day! What goods have you brought for us this time? ( Shit. What to tell them, what to tell them.. ) ( Is Eoi male or female now? ) ( Female still I think. ) ( And Eoi sounds male when he talks? ) ( still female ) ("You'll have to ask the boss for that. We just load boxes.") * Shigeru grins. Pardon me. What island is this? ( Aren't we just passengers? Why do we have to tell them anything? ) ( I've got a deep voice for a girl ((_^; ) ( Let's just stab them and run! ) ( Oh wait. Bad idea! ((_^ ) * TallNative blinks. "Why, this is Nero, of course." * Hikaru blinks at Norii. Ah good! * Shigeru leans on his walking stick. You're new sailors, aren't you? ( Ked needs to get one of these supersonic boats. ) I don't recognize you. Don't recognize the ship either... Looks new. Was the old one in an accident? Didja bring da ramen? (Bloody hell. Don't tell me the ship changed.) ( Ked: So Brett made a mistake with the timing. No big deal. ) ( No, you took the sailor's instead of the ferry ) ( That ship is differe-... yeah ) (Ah. That's good to know.) ( Yes, big deal, but I will shut up now. ) ( Fine. ) [The ship gets there when ever the hell it's supposed to.] ( Happy now? ) ( Or should I stop the game so we can argue about it? ) * Hikaru looks at the ground and shuffles his feet throughout the meeting. ( You guys are still on the boat, note ) * Shigeru sighs. "This'd better not count as something stupid," he mutters under his breath. Then he raises his voice. "I'm afraid you're mistaken. We're not the ferry." We're here looking for a friend of ours. Daa... No ramen? ;_; Wait... You're not...? Sorry. It'll probably show up later today. * Shigeru shakes his head. "Sorry. But the ferry should be here on time." * TallNative frowns. I see. I apologize for the mistake. * Shigeru concentrates on the tall native. Thoughts? Sorry. Well, I'm afraid you've wasted your trip. We're a pretty simple people. We don't have any major tourist attractions here... That's okay. We're just trying to find someone. ... * Shigeru frowns slightly. We're just looking for someone. * Chelsea licks her lips. * Norii nudges Shigeru. * Chelsea still has her hand on Shig's head, incidentally. Hmm... I'm sorry, but I don't think the person you're seeking would be here. We keep logs of the visitors, after all, and nobody's been *on* the island from the mainland in the past 6 months. Daaa... I want ramen ;_; (to islanders) You wouldn't happen to have seen a girl about our age, kinda thin, purple hair? * Shigeru concentrates on the Mystery Club. ~Tall guy's worried. He's probably going to- yeah, there we go.~ * Chelsea chuckles. * Eoi looks at the Tall Native. He chuckles. "Well, yeah. Plenty. It's rather a fad on this island for the girls to dye their hair purple here." * Calvin signs, ( Oy. Brett. /msg. ) Heh. Well, we knew she was from here. * Hikaru looks up at that last statement. * Chelsea frowns. * Eoi thinks.. * Eoi signs to Calvin. ( Or however close to that I can come. ) * Chelsea smirks. I don't mean to be rude, but... There's really no reason for you to be here if you're not trading. You're right. We should get off the ship. I'm all cramped from sitting all that time, anyway. Sounds good to me. I'm feeling a little seasick. ("I don't suppose you could give us some of that radical purple hair dye?") Um, I meant you should go back. Before it gets dark. But why? It's so nice here. Sea can be dangerous at night. I've heard from the ferry that there's a ghost ship about. If you believe in such things... You're absolutely right. We should stay here overnight. Well yes. Perhaps we should spend the night here Um... ( Out of my head Shig! ) * Chelsea nods. "Yeah. Wouldn't wanna risk the waters at night." (No way. ^_^) Well, that's a little impossible, I'm afraid. See, we have no hotels. * Hikaru laughs into his hand. Oh, that's ok. We're used to camping out anyway. Or little else, really. We can camp, if we have to. I don't see why you'd WANT to come here... We really don't have much... Exactly. We came to see our friend. C'mon, guys. Yeah. We're looking for our friend. Besides, it's such a nice island. * Norii walks towards the town. Very peaceful. * TallNative turns to his partner, and looks ready to say something, but thinks better of it., * Eoi slowly walks after Norii. * Calvin clambers down off the ship and follows. * Chelsea guides Shig along. [The dork leads straight to a building, and you'd have to walk through the people to get there.] ( The dock does that, too. ) * Hikaru follows everyone else, yawning as he goes. * Shigeru smiles as he's guided away. "Thanks for your help!" (Well, what a handy dork.) ( He may be lying, but that's no reason to call him a dork! ) ( /me kicks the typo ) ( Thanks, Mr. Dork! ) ( Heh ) ( Been playing too much Cock Tower? ) ( @_@ ) (*facepalm*) ( I'm sorry. ) ( --; ) * TallNative smiles as you disembark. "Uh... well, if you WANT to visit, you certainly can... But I'll have to run you through customs... You know, standard procedure. * Calvin shrugs and waves for the tall guy to follow them. Oh, of course. Isn't this a Japanese holding? Why should there be customs? * TallNative leads the group towards the building. Well sure, I guess. Customs? Well, we're a good distance from the mainland. ( Oh thank god both my Naginata's are concelable. ) That hardly matters. Can't be too careful, ya know? * Shigeru hums to himself as he's led along. And you harldy look like an customs official. * ShortNative follows along. "Daaa... I wanted ramen ;_;" ( /me cheers Norii on. ) ~Any updates on these guys, Shig?~ * TallNative chuckles. "I guess I don't, really. But again, we're a simple people." When did you say the last shipment of food was? ~Tall guy's worried. *Really* worried. Last thing I caught from him is the mental equivalent of 'oh crap'.~ Yesterday. Why? * Eoi coughs, Do you have any ID, then? * Shigeru grins. ~Little guy wants ramen.~ Sorry. My voice changes from time to time. Guess I'm a bit of a late developer. ^_^ * Chelsea chuckles. ~I'd guessed at that.~ * Kimiko remains quite. ( I have non idea what I'm babbling about. ) (Apparently.) * TallNative produces a small card that has the title "Nero Port Official" * Shigeru continues humming, concentrating on the tall guy. And checking the short one, on occassion. ~How worried is he, exactly? Worried enough to do something, ah, regretable?~ Daaa... You have ramen after all? * Hikaru twitches a bit. ~Hell if I know. It's just an emotion. A lot of it depends on the person. I'm not getting any KILL THEM NOW messages, if that's what you mean.~ ~Well. That's reassuring, I guess.~ * Hikaru looks a bit strained, as he tries to keep from screaming at the short guy. "So...what do you need to check?" * TallNative leads the people to the building and opens the door, passing through and under a metal-detector within. He then goes to stand behind a machine. "Alright, just step through." * Shigeru switches to thinking to the group (minus natives, of course). ~All these questions are making docking wonder over there pretty hot under the collar.~ * Norii bumps into Shigeru. ~Do we really want to go into that building? Of course, do we really want to force some sort of confrontation? Arrrgh.~ You know, just making sure you're not bringing *gulp* weapons in. ( ... ) * TallNative said that. * Eoi looks nervous. ( Fu8ck. ) * Shigeru blinks. * Chelsea chuckles. ( "Do you have anything to declare?" ) ( We could really use a Jedi Mind Trick right about now... ) * Eoi signs to everyone who can understand it. ( That comes later, Dem :P ) (I don't suppose I could stash all those metal goodies I'm carrying somewhere outside and get them later?) * TallNative looks up. Oh yeah. ( Heh ) About the weapons you're carrying, you can just leave them here. * Hikaru blinks. I'm sorry, but we don't allow weapons on to the island. ... Even traditional ones. ... * Eoi prays to god. ... Which is all you have, right? * Calvin shrugs and tosses the rapier to the man. I mean, none of you have... guns, right? * TallNative places it against the wall behind him. * Shigeru taps his walking stick on the ground and continues humming. Group: ~He's at loss as to what to do after this.~ * Eoi reaches into his pack and hands his Extendo-Naginata to the man. * Eoi pulls his OTHER Naginata out of.. somewhere and hands it to the man. * Eoi hands the man his pocket knife. I think that's everything. * TallNative offers a thankyou as he places them with the sword. Well, we'll see once you step through the detector. "/me pulls out the pistol by the holster. "You're going to give this back later, right?" * Calvin signs, In case you forgot anything. ( /me, even ) * Calvin pulls off his back pack and motions the man over. * TallNative blinks at Norii... "Ah... You're... Are you a cop?" * Chelsea just watches, thinking. Riki, tend to that man, will you? *** ShortNative is now known as Riki * Riki nods enthusiastically and bounds over to Calvin. "Daaaa... yeah?" ( Yay! A name! ) * Eoi walks over to Riki and Calvin. "Need a translator?" * Calvin nods. (Say yes, Norii. ^_^) ( Argh! at do I do? ) * Calvin signs, * Hikaru folds his arms and waits. Daaaaa... Translator? Calvin can't talk. He speaks in sign. Do you understand sign? Daaa... Sign? * Riki pulls a sign up from his pocket. "Daaaa... Yeah. Me understand." ( Norii, if someone asks you if you are a policewoman, you say YES! (/1 point) ) ... Me have sign too! ( If someone asks if you're god, you say YES! ) @_@ ( Curse you, Atom. Beat me to it. ) No no. Sign Language. I'm just here to find a friend. Here, take it. Alright... Um... A-anyone else have any weapons? * TallNative said that X.x ( Norii: The proper answer to that question is "I'm not on duty right now." ) * Shigeru smiles slightly at the TallNative. "Just my laptop and walking stick. Don't worry." ( Or just "I'm not on duty." ) * Shigeru concentrates, trying to calm him down gradually. "We're just here to visit a friend." * TallNative nods. * Eoi waits for the Short Native and Calvin to do some talkin'. ( These aren't the droids you're looking for. ) ( I wonder what happens to a GM if you ask for the name of every NPC you encounter ) ( That'/s even more ,of a lie. And I'm really frigging paranoid right now about these sorts of things. ) Daaaa... Whatcha need? ( He either tells you the name or tells you to shut up. ) ( Norii: I'ts _not_ a lie. ) * Calvin signs, * Calvin opens the bag, and starts displaying all the tools he's been carrying with him, along with his laptop. Calvin here has a ton of tools. He's not gonna let them go. Daaa.... * Shigeru thinks to the group: ~He thinks we're terrorists or something, carrying all those weapons around.~ Me check! No weapons. Me check. Sit tight, Shig. I have some things to declare. * Riki begins sifting through Calvin's tools. Eh. Sure. ( Calvin has tools? @_@ ) * Hikaru resists the urge to walk over and throttle the moron. Um, Declarations will be done afterwards... You don't have any pets or things, I hope. * Chelsea walks to the counter, unbuckles her sword belt, lays it with the other weapons, and proceeds to pull out five throwing knives from various spots, which she sets next to her sword. ( We have a pet troll! ) ( Ooh. A pet roll. Does it taste good with butter? ) Nope. ( Not very good. It's really a pet rock in disguise. ) * Chelsea runs a hand through her hair and rubs her right pant leg. "That's all, I think." * Riki nods, closes the kit upm hands it back to Calvin, and gives the tall guy a thumbs up. "Daaaa. Is good, Kunio" *** TallNative is now known as Kunio * Calvin nods at Riki. ( Wai! Kunio-kun Nekketsu sports! ) ( The blue thunder of Nero Island? ) ( Oh wiat. KunIo. ) * Kunio stares at each thing Chelsea produces. * Chelsea smiles sweetly. ( Kunio and Riki. You should recognize them :P ) ( They're from KOF, aren't they? ) ( No idea who they are. ) ( No idea. ) * Kunio takes them and puts them with the others, slowly. "Um... Excuse me a minute." He motions to Riki, and they move away from the group and talk in a corner." ( Never mind. I was thinking of a different Kunio, I guess ) * Shigeru smirks slightly and concentrates on Kunio, recieving all sensory information he does. * Calvin turns so one ear is trained on the two. * Chelsea looks over to Calvin and then to Shig, and grins. * Shigeru starts. [Calvin can't understand the language] ( From River City Ransom :P ) ( They're speaking Smorfy! ) * Shigeru thinks to the group: ~Kaira. Kunio's going to send Riki to get Kaira.~ * Eoi keeps near the weapons, but tries to look like he isn't keeping near the weapons. I don't know, sneak casual. ... ( Oh. Never mind. I WAS thining of the right ones ) * Eoi nods. * Hikaru looks shocked. * Riki nods stupidly and runs out the door. * Kunio turns back. * Shigeru murmurs, "And he's off." ... ... Ok. ... Anything else? This is... bad. Dammit. Sorry about that. I, um, left my freezer unplugged at home. * Calvin signs, Sure you did. Right. And you trust HIM to be able to plug it in? * Kunio motions to a desk. "Step over here. Need to check your other belongings." Sure you do. He's smart enough to... I hope. * Eoi smiles at Kunio. * Hikaru snorts. * Shigeru taps his walking stick on the floor. * Kunio smiles uncomfortably. "Anyhow, just put your belongings over here and I'll X-ray them. " * Hikaru walks over. "Sure, whatever." ... * Eoi signs. I'm afraid you can't go behind the counter... Hm? * Eoi is standing right near that table. Well. So, how far away is your house? * Hikaru plunks his wallet and miscellaneous junk down in front of Kunio. "You can X-ray that if you want." He rolls his eyes. Don't worry, you'll get your weapons back when you're leaving. C'mon, guys. Um, not far, but... Ya know, Riki's a bit slow in the head... Sure he is. A bit? * Kunio nods to Hikaru. "Hm? Oh, yeah... yeah..." Then he looks back. "Miss? Sir? P-Please step away. Please." * Chelsea chuckles. "Just a bit." * Eoi looks a bit nervous. Geez. Are you really worried we'll attack you or something? It's not like you are planning a trap or something. ~He'll probably faint next thing that freaks him out.~ Huh? N-No! It's just... procedure. You know. Hey, you ever seen that show the Smurfs? * Chelsea does not look nervous, but doesn't display a threatening demeanor. "Of course not. If you were planning a trap, we'd have to do something unpleasant." Or was it the Snorks? I can't remember these American shows. Isn't this a little over-the-top for a port on an island like this? Metal detectors and x-rays and searches? Hm? Um, we don't get much TV around here... * Shigeru deadpans, "Apparently, this is a prime target for a terrorist strike." Smorfs? Snarfs? Smorfys? I can't quite remember. W-Well, we have little in the way of defense. I think it was smorfys, not that you mention it. We need to take precautions, you know? (now, even.) Smorfys. Yes, that does sound like it. * Kunio laughs nervously. Oh yeah... I remember that. Smorfys. Smorfys? Never heard of them. Hahaha. * Norii drops her bag on the xray conveyor. Man, those little Smorfys were so annoying. I mean, they were fairly stupid. And ugly too. I rather like d them, myself. * Hikaru grins. "Didn't they live on a little island like this, too?" W-w-well, like I said, we don't get much TV around here... They sure did. All the more reason to not want to visit, but if you're insistant... So friendly, mostly. Yeah! The Smorfys lived on an island JUST like this. Remember the time they set a trap for those wandering travellers? And the wandering travellers found the guy who was delaying them for the trap, and they sure got angry? Boy, they sure did. I felt so bad for that guy. Oh yeah. Ahh... I really don't know what you're talking about... I mean, I know that he was just doing his job, but that really must have hurtt. I dunno. Wasn't that the episode where they met with their friend and they all lived happily ever after? Yes, yes it was. * Calvin facepalms. Because the Smorfy's realized the error of their ways, and helped the travellers get their friend back. * Shigeru sighs. "Mr. Kunio. We don't want to hurt anybody. We certainly don't want to kill anybody. We came here to see our friend, with the expectation that we could be attacked." ( I told you guys your actions were going to screw us over yesterday... ) * Chelsea works to refrain from giggling. * Kunio stands nervously. Apparently, due to your fantastic security system, which you really don't need, we aren't in danger of any such thing, right? Um... sorry. I forgot to mark the weapons... Mark the weapons? What do you mean? So that we know they're yours, you know? So you have many weapons on this island? That way you don't have to worry about any mixups. But you said there are no weapons on this island. I'm sure many people come in here with weapons. How could there be a mixup? Well, I'm pretty sure I can tell my sharp pointy stabbing implements from those that belong to others. No worry there. You even said that many people don't come here. Well, we have a few for martial arts purposes... But you know, they might get stolen. We can't have that, you know? Hahaha. And I'd know my grandfather's Naginata anywhere. And my Naginata is a bit unique. Stolen? Uh, huh. Might they? * Norii raises an eyebrow. Good sir, if my Naginata's are so much as touched, I will hold you responsable. * Kunio goes to a drawer and pulls out some tags. He then goes around sticking them on the weapons. You'd want to avoid that, wouldn't you. W-Well, that's why I'm marking them... So they're not stolen. Oh, that'd be bad, if they were stolen. Very bad, indeed. Oh. So you know a lot of thieves who will *avoid* the ones that are marked? See, it's a small island. So we'd find the culprit pretty easily. Would you. I'm sure. Well, if they steal them. You know? * Chelsea picks up her sword. "Here, let me help you." Are we done here yet? Ahh... I can do it, don't worry! * Eoi picks up his Grandfather's Naginata. Sure, I'll help too! Just give me the tag. S-Sir! Oh, but your friend has been gone so long. Maybe you should check if he remembers what a refrigerator is. Let the man do his job. Wow, your friend sure has been gone a looong time. Mame! I'm going to have to ask you to step away from the counter, I-I-If you persist, I'm going to have to call the police! * Norii walks to a window. Are you sure it's the police you'd call? * Shigeru frowns and thinks to the group. ~Yeah. He has been gone a long time. Get a move on, or Kaira's gonna show.~ Perhaps someone else.. * Hikaru just watches. ~Oh, and they don't have police.~ The name is on the tip of my tounge. [Suddenly a woman runs in through the door. As you can guess, it's Kaira. "Kunio!] Well shit. * Kunio snatches up the rest of the weapons as soon as he hears his name. "Be careful! They're terrorists!" * Kunio dives over the counter. Hah. * Eoi gets into a battle stance. * Shigeru snorts. * Calvin signs, Well shit. Hi there. * Norii leans against the wall. * Chelsea unsheathes her sword, which she is still holding. "Hello, Kaira." Give us back Miyu. * Hikaru turns to face Kaira. Hey Kaira. Been well? * Kunio then takes to the air outside. "They're yours. Please get rid of them!" *** Kaira (Brett@mid-tgn-npv-vty138.as.wcom.net) has joined #besm ... Crap. He's got our weapons. Good grief, guys. You know we can't fight her. You. You even go as far as... *** Daisuke sets mode: +o Kaira Nice place you have here. * Kaira shakes with rage. "You humans are as I always knew." You. Give back Miyu. Shut up Smorfy. *** Riki is now known as Kirby * Shigeru switches his concentration to Kaira. Thoughts, emotions, all that good stuff. You don't like humans? Well guess what. Besides Miyu, I've yet to meet a Smorfy that I like. You lie, you steal, you kidnap. Wow, Real nice people. You invade our home with the intent to kill us! No. We don't. Well, I'm not going to allow that. * Calvin holds up empty hands. We came to your home to find our friend. YOU tried to steal our weapons. * Kaira hops out the door and flies up. If we intended to kill you, why did they hand over the weapons? Kunio, get out of here. I'll handle them. * Calvin walks out the door onto the island. I was trying to help mark my weapon when you rushed in. We just want to see Miyu. Does it surprise you that we.. We want to see Miyu. We don't want to fight. * Kunio nods and flies off. "We're counting on you, Kaira! *** Kunio is now known as Kirby2 Liars! * Chelsea sighs. "Horribly melodramatic, too." I'm not lying. that we humans are concerned for a friend? You barbarians... You'll pay! I just want to see my friend. ( Init time ) Listen. We don't want to fight. * Shigeru rubs his forehead and murmurs, "I... I don't want to invade another mind." d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Eoi (d6+7) and gets 13. d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Shigeru (d6+6) and gets 9. d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Calvin (d6+7) and gets 12. d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chelsea (d6+7) and gets 12. ( WTF. ) d6_6 A 6_6 sided die, how very clever, you son of a bot. d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Hikaru (d6+6) and gets 12. d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Norii (d6+7) and gets 8. ( Not that I'm going to fight. ) You're the one who keeps attacking us. [Order: Eoi, Calvin/Chelsea/Hikaru, Kaira, Shigeru, Norii] Why do you want to fight so much? You call us the barbarians? You've attacked us twice now. Last time we fought, you attacked while our backs were turned. [Eoi's turn] You have no honor. You are a lying, cheating, kidnapping witch. Oi... Eoi... isn't there some other way? ( facepalms ) * Eoi goes into total defense. I'm trying. Do you REALLY want to piss off every single being on the island?! @_@ I'm not trying to piss off the beings! [Eoi has his Naginata. Chelsea has her sword. ( I know. ) [Everyone else is unarmed] ( There is no way we can win this fight. ) [Calvin's turn] ( She gained 2 CP x each of us last time. ) ( She's ungodly powerful by now. ) (Don't turn it into a fight, then.) * Calvin completely ignores Kaira and walks off into the town. [Chelsea's turn] ( Is it safe to assume everybody's basically on total defense and talk like normal? ) [Kaira's not on total defense :P Listen. We don't want to fight. We just want to see Miyu. [Calvin notices that the streets are bare and blinds in the windows are all down] Holding action. * Calvin just sorta walks along, listening for the sound of Miyu's voice. [Hikaru's turn] ( Calvin doesn't get very far. ) * Hikaru goes on total defense. "I'm not going to fight back. Attack if you want." [Kaira's turn] ( What's the bonus for total defense again? ) * Kaira wheels around in the air, eyes burning with rage at Calvin. "Invaders! I'll finish all of you once and for all!" She motions at Calvin. "Black Winged Encirclement!" a raven-shaped blast flies forth, aiming at him. ( +2 ) ( Er -2 ) * Calvin does not defend, as usual. [Calvin is struck with the powerful blast and falls, unmoving] ( @_@ ) CALVIN! Calvin? [Shigeru's turn] * Calvin was struck in the back, too. You attacked him! He didn't do anything to you! Wow. That was a nice display of thoughtless violence, Kaira. * Shigeru concentrates, trying to find out if Calvin's still conscious. ( Nooooo. ) ( Calvin is not. ) (Well, *he* doesn't know that. :P) A fitting end for barbarian scum like you. ( Bleagh. x.x ) Barbarian? Why do you call us that? ( Done, Shig? ) Bah. The ocean says the river is wet. * Shigeru scowls and starts shaking, and something dark flashes in his eyes. "How..." (Yes.) [Norii's turn] Barbarians hit unarmed people from behind. Barbarians take others friends. * Norii calls towards the village. "MIIIIIIIIYU!" [Eoi's turn] * Eoi remains on total defense. [Chelsea's turn] So, why do you call US Barbarians? 5. 4. * Chelsea goes on total defense. [Hikaru's turn] ( I told you guys you'd end up screwing stuff over. x.x ) * Hikaru stays on total defense. ( Shut up, Dem. ) (Thanks for the advice, Dem! ^^) (Like we had a choice? :P) [Kaira's turn] ( Shut up Demota. We're TRYING! ) I am my race's only defense. I will NOT allow you to harm any of us. Go ahead, kill us. Prove how right you are. We don't WANT to harm you! Seriously. ( sorry. x.x ) * Kaira motions at Eoi. "Black Winged Encirclement!" What do we have to do to prove that? ( Def roll, Eoi ) 2d6-2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Eoi (2d6-2) and gets 3. [Eoi dodges the blast. Kaira mutters a curse.] Ah, such violence. You'd evoke envy from the worst of humanity, Kaira. [Shigeru's turn] I don't want to fight Kaira. I don't want to harm anyone. * Kaira smirks. "Bullshit." What's your goal here, Kaira? What do you have to gain from attacking us? X.x What do I have to do to prove this to you? Tell me and I'll do it. Leave. And never. Ever. return. 5. 4. * Shigeru shudders and closes his eyes. He thinks to everyone, including Kaira. ~I... don't want to hurt anyone. I...~ He sighs and sits on the ground. "Have fun attacking a blind, unarmed man." Look... we haven't done anything wrong yet... Sure. Just let us see Miyu first. We'll leave then. [Norii's turn] Just let us see her. If.. if she doesn't want to come with us.. then she can stay. MMMMIIIIIIIIIIIYYYYUUUUUUUU! If we do anything bad, then you have justifiable reason to fight... You monsters shall never lay your blood-stained hands on her! And we shall leave, and never return. [Eoi's turn] * Eoi remains on total defense. We are not attacking you. We don't plan on attacking anyone. We WON'T attack anyone. We just want to see our dear friend. Look... can't we calm down, and talk about this like rational people? [Chelsea's turn] Miyu is a friend to all of us. You are liars. * Eoi looks into Kaira's eyes. Humans are scum. Plain and simple. How do I prove I'm not lying? What gives you this idea? Honestly. Why do you believe all humans are scum? You can't prove you're not lying, because you are. 5. 4. * Chelsea shakes her head sadly. "Are all smorfy such shallow-minded bigots?" ( CHel ) I'm not lying. ( That it? ) (total defense. Have a *shred of patience, Brett. :P) ( I'm lazy ) [Hikaru's turn] (Total defense) I swear on my grandfather, I don't want to harm any of you. [Kaira's turn] I just want to see my dear friend. Look. If we put our weapons back, would it help any? Why don't you try thinking for yourself? Tell us what makes humans scum. And Kaira. Not all of us are human. Would you let Hikaru go and see Miyu then? * Hikaru shifts into his youkai form. See? Not human. * Kaira waves her hands at the group. "Dark!" We won't go. Us untrustworthy humans. Do you still have your prejudices against me? (Yay! Do I get to roll defense? ^_^) ( Everyone make a body roll. +2 penalty ) 2d6+2 ( Except Shig ) * Dicesuke throws the bones for Eoi (2d6+2) and gets 8. (Drat.) 2d6+2 2d6+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Hikaru (2d6+2) and gets 12. * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chelsea (2d6+2) and gets 7. 2d6+2 ( ... didn't make it. ) * Dicesuke throws the bones for Norii (2d6+2) and gets 9. Listen. We are willing to compromise. (Poo. Oh, well.) ( ... ) Let our friend Hikaru go then. He's not a human. [The entire group is blind] ( That attack is TOO DAMN POWERFUL Brett. ) Lemme guess. Now we're all blind. [Shig's turn] ( Blame Miyu ) Yeah Shig. ( You could make different moves you know. ) ( Miyu only used it once ) ( It's the same damn thing, except Kaira's hits an area ) ( It's really unfair. We have little chance to defend against it. ) He lives with your kind. He's no better. ( Miyu uses it with restraint. x.x ) * Shigeru sighs and concentrates on Kaira. Thought/emotions? ( dammit. now we're all going to die. x.x ) So did Miyu. Does this make her scum? So do many. How can you judge a whole species? Don't your people get supplys from humans? Why would you accept ramen from scum? And Kirby! I mean, if we are such awful people, why do you want our things? * Shigeru sucks in his breath. To the group: ~Damn. That's powerful.~ Kaira... we'll put our weapons down, and do things peacefully, if you'll just stop attacking us, and let us go on our way... We're completely at your mercy now. Go ahead. Do what you will. [Norii's turn] MIYU! WHERE ARE YOU?!? You will cooperate? [Eoi's turn] We just want our friend. * Kimiko attempts to clear up vision. Please. I just want my friend back. * Eoi total defense. Don't you understand things like friendship? We don't want to fight! We won't fight. Do you understand? * Shigeru squeezes his eyes shut and tangles his fingers in his hair. If you kill us, you are murdering us! Because we are not fighting. Then drop your weapons. This isn't a battle. It's a murder. ... * Eoi takes a breath.. and drops his Naginata. [Chelsea's turn] There. Is that what you want? * Chelsea shrugs, sheathes her sword, and sets is on the floor. I just want my friend back. That's all. [Kaira's turn] Or.. even just to talk to her. [You hear Kaira as she swoops down, presumably snatching up the weapons.] If she's happy here.. then there is no problem. There. You have our weapons. Now, kneel and put your hands behind your head. No. This isn't right. ... why? What are you going to do? Do it! (Er. Can we see again?) ... No. You have our weapons. We pose no threat. Now take us to see Miyu. I can't see you, I can't reach you anyway, how am I supposed to hurt anyone? We pose no threat. We want to see our friend. Your mere preseance is a threat. ... how? Why is our presaence in your land worse then yours in ours? Now, put your hands behind your head. Or I'll kill you. Then murder me. [Shig's turn] ... we don't have a choice, Eoi... No. She will murder us then. She will kill an unarmed man. ... she'll kill us all if we don't do that, either... It's our only chance. No. * Shigeru sighs and pushes himself up into a kneeling position, but doesn't let go of the walking stick. "This is ridiculous. Calvin needs medical attention." How? If you didn't try to cut yourselves off, you could live peacefully with humans. You don't look any different. As long as you didn't show off your tails, nobody would know you were different. How are we a threat by being here? I want to see Miyu. *** RDMgryphon is now known as DMCgryphon [Norii's turn] I want my Grandfathers Naginata back. In that order. Once these things have been done, I'll leave. We could NEVER live with your kind. You can't even live with yourselves! MIYU! And you can? What about medical attention for Calvin, Eoi... My family has lived with humans for generations, safely. Leave them alone, and they won't hurt you. We do not harm each other. Then why did Miyu leave?> [Eoi's turn] She was lost. Why would Miyu leave your world. She had no choice. Then why didn't she want to return? * Norii is doing Total yelling. (Go Norii go!) * Eoi continues with total defense. I've really had enough of it. [Chelsea's turn] You want to murder me. I understand that. Not why. But I understand your ways. You believe that you are better then humans, correct? You believe that we are barbarians. That we are below you. What I believe is not your business. * Chelsea sighs, kneels, puts her hands behind her head, but keep ready to move in case something goes wrong(er). (total defense?) You know, there have be people in human history who though the same thing. [Hikaru's turn] * Hikaru kneels down, but doesn't put his hands behind his head. [Kaira's turn] You. The one who calls yourself a priest. I'm not going to fight you. But I'm not going to leave without seeing Miyu. Yes? Are you going to kneel and put your hands behind your head as I asked? Answer me one question. What will happen then? * Shigeru snorts softly. You shall be arrested. Will you knock us out, and send us away from the island? Then returned to your homes. Well then no. ~Well. At least she's honest.~ EOI.... I came here to see Miyu. This is the only chance we get. Then so be it. We just get a hearing in court... I don't care Kimiko. Dammit, Eoi... There will be no fair court Kimiko. I'm stuck in this body too. This would be sham. * Kaira shouts. "Black Winged Encirclement!" It's one thing to drag yourself down... But me, also?! ( def roll, Eoi. +2 penalty. ) 2d6+2 * Shigeru cringes. * Dicesuke throws the bones for Eoi (2d6+2) and gets 11. ( Shit. ) * Kimiko (sighs. x.x ) (these games just get more and more frustrating... ) [You hear Eoi's and Kimiko's mixed screams, and then nothing from them.] ( Oh, excuse me for acting In Character Demota. ) *** Tris-chan (cloud4598@adsl-66-120-161-137.dsl.sntc01.pacbell.net) has joined #besm ( ... ) ( You know Tris, we REALLY could have used you. ) ( Hey Tris ) ( Yeah. -_- ) ( ...I thought there was only one this week! ) * Kimiko (sighs ) ( Whatever. It wouldn't have mattered. ) *** Daisuke sets mode: +o Tris-chan ( Fine. Forget it. ) [Shigeru's turn] *** Tris-chan (cloud4598@adsl-66-120-161-137.dsl.sntc01.pacbell.net) has left #besm ( You know what Demota, bite me. You get Miyu back eventually. Eoi might very well be dead. ) ( So stop fucking sighing. ) * Chelsea raises her eyebrows. "Wow. Are all Smorfy so evil, or just you?" ( Do you think Miyu will last long without Calvin? ) * Shigeru stares into space. The darkness in his eyes increases. "Did you kill them, Kaira?" They live. For now. Though the mute boy may soon die without proper medical attention. Unfortunately, I'm too busy dealing with you to see to him. If you'd cooperate quietly, I might be able to get to him before he dies. Yeah, well, that's your own fault, now isn't it? Heh. It's not like I should care. He's not my ally. * Shigeru shudders and puts his hands behind his head, dropping his walking stick in the process. "I won't have anyone die for my freedom. Arrest me. Give him attention. Please." But you barbarians would leave him to die. [Norii's turn. Sorry] We don't have a choice, butcher. * Norii sits down. And keeps yelling. ( Who isn't in the requested position yet, anyway? ) ( Everyone is but Hikaru, I believe. ) ( Ah ) ( Geez, guys, give Tris a break. She doesn't come here every day. She had no way of knowing. ) * Kaira flies down, and begins hand-cuffing everyone. (Anyone going to resist) ( I don't either. But I looked. And she's been on time once? Twice? ) ( ...more than that. ) * Shigeru doesn't resist. :P ( She did tell me that she'd be coming in at 10 for a while due to some meeting. ) * Hikaru does not resist. * Chelsea does not resist. * Norii keeps yelling, but doesn't resist. * Kaira finishes, then goes over to Calvin, and heals him just enough so that he's not in danger of dying. ( Of course, she'll run out of vocal cords soon at this rate. ) Alright, scum. Everyone up. * Kimiko is unconcious, and can't get up. * Shigeru shrugs and stands. * Hikaru stands up. * Chelsea stands. * Eoi just kinda lays there. Remember, he's knocked out! * Norii does the in thing, and stands. * Calvin is unconscious. * Kaira handcuffs Calvin and Eoi, too, then flies back up and waits for them to awaken. Meanwhile, the blindness wears off. (Except Shig's) (I'm so special!) ( Aaaahahahahahaha. ) ( I assume that means I can talk again. ) ( yup ) [Once they're awake, Kaira motions them towards a small building.] * Calvin starts walking off into the town. * Shigeru stands there. Like someone who can't see the motion. Very nice work. You beat an unarmed and blind man. ( Geez. Being judged again this soon... ) * Kaira flies in front of Calvin. "Hold it!" You must be very proud. * Calvin turns and walks to the side of Kaira. Leave Calvin alone. He wants to find Miyu. ... oi. Calvin... * Kaira stops Calvin. "You are not allowed to go in there." If you persist... ... listen, Calvin... Of course she's proud. She gets to be mean. * Calvin ignores Kaira. Kimiko. Shut the hell up. *** Tris-chan (cloud4598@adsl-66-120-161-137.dsl.sntc01.pacbell.net) has joined #besm Do you think Miyu will want to live if you're gone?! * Kaira keeps in front of Calvin. "If you persist, I WILL kill you. Understand?" *** Daisuke sets mode: +o Tris-chan What, you'll splatter him all over the place? He cares a lot more about Miyu than you do. THink about Miyu, Calvin! So you'll murder an unarmed, handcuffed and weak man? For now, we have to do this... Wow Kaira! You sure are a good fighter! * Calvin makes small signs, as his hands are cuffed. * Shigeru blinks in surprise. * Calvin turns to walk around Kaira. Dammit, CALVIN! So, I wonder what bug crawled up her ass. WOuld Miyu want this?! Personally, I doubt all the Smorfys are as bitchy as her. * Shigeru thinks to Eoi. ~Can I borrow your eyes?~ * Kaira moves in front again, blocking him. "Stop." * Eoi walks over to Shig CALVIN, GET BACK HERE. >_< * Calvin turns to walk past again. Right here Shig. ( Kimiko, you are acting a bit OOC.. ((_^; ) ( Just a tad bit? ) ( I'm panicking. x.x ) * Shigeru nods shortly and concentrates. He grins. * Kaira uses her body to halt him. "Stop. Or else." Don't think I won't kill you. ( I'm tired of seeing things go badly... ) If I have to... So you'll murder him. * Calvin signs, <> Yeah. The other Smorfies are prolly shining pedestals for goodness and peace. Too bad they're not all wat way. * Calvin turns to walk past again. ( No kidding. ) Kinda like humans. * Shigeru goes back to concentrating on Kaira. ( Still gotta keep IC. I have a feeling Kimiko wouldn't really care ^^;; ) * Kaira thrusts out her arms. "I'm warning you! Don't make me do this!" ( Sorry, but I'm getting panicked. x.x ) ( Kimiko would be saying she is bored right about now. ) Calvin.. ( I've had a crappy week.... ) LEAVE CALVIN ALONE YOU BITCH! ( And I don't want it to end like this... ) * Calvin signs, <> * Calvin turns to walk past again. You are going to murder an unarmed and handcuffed man? You.. you.. FOUL .. * Calvin stops and turns around to face the others. ... You are worse then most humans. Much worse. Calvin.. * Calvin signs, <> * Calvin turns back to keep walking. ( Oh shit. He's dead. ) ( I've been feeling helpless this whole week... ) HALT! ... Leave Calvin Alone. [Energy begins to build in Kaira's hands] Cal! * Calvin continues walking. .... She's really going to do it! CALVIN! ... IF YOU KEEP GOING! You'LL DIE! DAMMIT CALVIN! ...Calvin... * Calvin shrugs a little and keeps walking. Don't make me do this. I don't want to be like you, but... If I have to... If I... CAL! Sorry Shig. Stop this! Stop at once! * Calvin keeps going. ... I will kill you! Do you understand?! I WILL! DAMMIT CALVIN! ... Someone.. Stop .. stop him. We.. we have to stop him. Please.. I.. He's going to die. I'm not lying. She WILL do it. Please.. Stop her. Someone. ........................................................ You'd make yourself a killer? Really and trully? Dammit. She will! I'm not lying! Crap... * Norii starts crying. * Hikaru watches Kaira silently. Shit. Fuck.. Don't do it. You don't know... don't do it! * Kaira frowns and flies in front of Calvin again, pushing him back. H.. Hikaru. * Calvin turns to walk past again. You WILL not go further! * Eoi growls. Nobody is going to try to stop this? Can you really do it? Can you really bring yourself to kill him? * Eoi looks around at everyone. She can. [Body roll +2, Calvin] * Eoi looks at Hikaru. "She will." * Shigeru closes his eyes, and tears trickle down his cheeks. "Damnit, Kaira, you'll hate yourself forever. Don't do it." NO! 2d6+2 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Calvin (2d6+2) and gets 9. ( ... just like Quing... ) I don't want to, but I swear... ( ... Calvin, I knew you well. ((_; ) (No, not just like Quing.) ( Quing wasn't murdered. ) * Kaira succeeds in pushing Calvin back towards the group. * Calvin turns to walk at a 90 degree angle. Calvin.. (And neither was Calvin, you'll note.) ( Quing let his pride get in the way of his existence ) ( He will be, if he keeps this up ) Dammit! Don't make me do this! ... (Calvin's doing this for a better reason than pride. :P) ( ...You're the soul of optimism, Dem. ) * Kaira holds up her hands again. "Don't!" ( He doesn't have the health to take another hit. ) Calvin.. * Calvin keeps going. Ok. Folks. I'm telling you right now/. Calvin WILL die if he keeps this up. ( You don't get it, Dem. ) ( Calvin and Eoi have 1 HP :P ) I.. I saw it. You saw it? Someone's gotta stop her.. or him. You...what? ( What is it then, Yon? ) * Eoi nods. I-If you don't... If you don't stop... I get.. visions sometimes. Yeah... me too, sort of. ( YOu just don't understand, Dem. Calvin's got one thing left to live for, and she's trying to take it away. ) Kaira... Usually in times of great stress... or danger.. He WILL die. ( This is the absolute OPPOSITE of pride, hon. ) ( I know that... it's frustrating, though ) [The energy crackles brighter around her hands.] Calvin... you can get Miyu later. This isn't some half-truth... * Calvin keeps going. * Eoi breaths faster. Dammit. I can't let this happen.. ... just stay. PLEASE. ( See, I don't think Kaira can do it. ) * Eoi starts moving towards Kaira. ( She can. ) ( She can, and she will ) Sorry Shig. * Shigeru steps forward. "I'm already damned." He concentrates on Kaira. ~STOP! Dpn~ (*kicks the Typo Demon*) [She's still flying.] * Shigeru goes back to concentrating on Kaira (*before* the Typo Demon showed up). ~Don't make me choose!~ Dammit. Stop, you barbaric fool! * Eoi tries to get inbetween Calvin and Kaira. "Please.. You took one of our friends.." Don't take another. ( She's flying, dude :P ) * Calvin keeps going. Then make him stop. Now! Don't you understand? He LIVES for Miyu! Before I... Before I... He LOVES Miyu. Don't. Do it. Would you murder someone because of that? She will. You'll murder him. Such a thing is not possible... With his back turned. It's not possible. Because he's looking for the woman he loves. It... * Calvin keeps walking. Do you think he's doing this because of his pride? It's NOT!!! It is. Calvin loves Miyu. He's gone through hell for her. It's possible. Being human or not doesn't matter. You can love anyone. And he wants her back. * Kaira releases the blast. "Dark Winged Encirclement!" NO! And he wants... * Shigeru screams. * Calvin cannot dodge. No... NO! CALVIN! ( Dammit, I am sick of this... ) * Hikaru tries to tackle Calvin out of the way. ( Try tp ush him out of the way, Eoi. x.x ) ( You're not the only one, Dem. ) (I'm... tired. so damn tired... ) ( Enough, Dem. ) * Eoi tries to push Calvin otu of the way. ( I've had a crappy week...) ( Demota, It's a game. ) ( Make a body roll, Eoi. ) 2d6 ( ...Okay, if you sound anymore suicidal, I'm calling the cops on you ^^ ) * Dicesuke throws the bones for Eoi (2d6) and gets 6. ( Made it. ) Now make another one. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Eoi (2d6) and gets 6. ( Made it! ) (... whew. x.x ) ( Thank ya kindly, Dicesuke. ) [Eoi tackles Calvin out of the way, and manages to dodge himself] (... alright. starting to calm down. ) * Eoi breaths heavly. You.. You would have killed him. * Calvin stands up and begins walking again. * Shigeru shuts his eyes tighter, sending all his self-hatred, revulsion, and guilt into Kaira. ~This is what will happen to you. This is what will happen, if you don't stop.~ D... Damn you. * Eoi looks up at Kaira. You.. You murderer. It doesn't matter if you didn't hit him He would have died. Damn you all to hell! You were going to kill him. If he doesn't stop... You.. You.. I don't know what to call you. Just punch him out or something if you want to restrain him. I don't feel hatred. Just pity. Make him stop, or I will have no choice! Stop him! Then you'll murder him. I can't make Calvin stop. He's trying to find the woman he loves. He never listens to me anyway. Not like he could take a punch and stay concious. There's always a choice, Kaira. If you were in his place, would YOU stop? Calvin.. Calvin is very strong willed. And this is very important to him. More then his own life. * Kaira flies down, and just slugs Calvin in the gut. ... Ouch. * Chelsea frowns. ... yeah, that did look painful. * Calvin does not resist. Well, let's pick him up and proceed. * Calvin slumps over. * Kaira picks up Calvin's body and walks back. Better. I want you to understand something. You are a murderer in everything but fact. If I had been slower. Then Calvin.. or I. Would have died. There is no doubting this. Remember that. I know. I'm just like you. Except... * Shigeru blinks. ~Remind me to tell you a story sometime, Kaira. It's about an eleven year old boy, who can barely be called human.~ You did this to protect the island that you love. Do you ever think, the "Barbaric" things human do.. * Kaira shrugs and walks to the jail, where she motions everyone in. May be done for similar reasons? * Shigeru doesn't move. * Eoi gets into the jail. * Kaira glares at Eoi. "You know NOTHING!" Don't I? * Norii yells one last time before she enters. You care for this island. MMMMMIIIIIIIIYYYYYYUUUUUU!!!!! We care for Miyu. Calvin especially. *** DMCgryphon is now known as RDMgryphon You are willing to murder for this island. But you don't want to. * Hikaru walks over to the jail. "Just...think about what happened." We. We don't want to fight either. We don't want to hurt anyone. * Shigeru continues standing outside the jail, eyes staring into space. We just want our friend. * Eoi looks at Shig. * Chelsea looks at Shigeru. ... Shigeru? Are you ok? * Kaira glares at Shig. "Get in there, before I change my mind." I'm blind, Kaira. She can't see. Not because of your spell. ( She?! ) ( He. ) ... She? ( he. ) I see. ( Not talking straight. ) * Kaira leads Shigeru in. * Shigeru bows his head and doesn't resist. (Loudest thought?) * Chelsea saunters into the jail. Kaira. I don't know about Calvin.. but I forgive you for this. I understand .. some.. of your reasons. I just ask you.. please consider. If you really must remove us from this island, please let us see Miyu first. * Shigeru smiles slightly. "Lucky you, you didn't actually kill anyone. You might be able to rationalize it." He sits awkwardly on the floor. * Kaira tosses Calvin into the jail with the rest of you, then locks the door. You don't understand anything. Then please explain. * Kaira glares at Shigeru. "I've killed many people before. Well, neither do you. Don't think I wouldn't be willing. But you haven't murdered. Before, at any rate. Have you murdered people? A defensless person? Handcuffed? No weapons? Just looking for a lost love? Have you done that before? ... Yes. I have. * Chelsea just stands there, smiling. * Eoi shakes his head. I pity you. I really do. ... * Hikaru shudders. Say what you like. Your kind is worthless scum anyhow. No. * Kaira walks off. * Shigeru leans back and sighs. "Well, what do you know. She's as damned as I am." I...I thought we almost got through to her. * Eoi looks after her. "Some of us are, and some of us are not. The same could be said of all peoples. We did Hikaru. It's hard to tell. But I think we did. * Hikaru winces at Shigeru's statement. Give her some time. * Eoi goes and checks on Calvin. [Speaking of time, wanna keep going?] * Norii looks at Shigeru. "Surely you're not so evil... ... I hope this trial doesn't take too long. ( Sure ) ( YES. ) ( Yes. ) I.. can't believe she almost did it though. ( not really. ) ( YES! ) [Calvin is alive :P] I don't wanna miss Kirby and Jackie CHan. ( THe worse is over! Yay! ) * Shigeru turns to Norii. "You... don't know. But. But I can tell you." ( Wanna bet? :P ) Calvin.. would be dead if I had been a little slower.. It's hard to believe. ( Now, we just need to make ourselves look good. @_@ ) I...I really didn't think she'd be able to attack Calvin like that... He.. he almost died. And.. not even like Quing. Quing died in battle.. ( This has been four hours of some of the most draining RP session I've ever seen. It's 1 AM. Why would anyone wnat to keep going? ) Calvin.. this would have been a murder. It's amazing what people can do when pressed, Hikaru. ( Because this is one of the best RP sessions yet! ) ( Ked: I'm coming off of an even more draining session, where I was the GM. ) ( I'm on an adrenaline rush right now, so... :P ) ( Yep ) (So that we can have more draining RP, of course. ^_^) ( It's because I'm high on RP. ) Well, she wanted to keep this island safe or something. Why the heck would they think humans are bad, anyway... It's very much like ancient humans. *** Kirby2 is now known as Girl ( OOC! KIMIKO IS OOC! SHE THINKS HUMANS ARE EVIL TOO! ) * Chelsea can't help snickering at that. ( bloody hell. I _can't_ contribute much more at this point. ) ( She does? ) They are unique in the world. And therefor, believe themselves above the others. [At 5:20, someone enters the jail.] Kinda like the Ancient Chinese. * Hikaru just LOOKS at Kimiko. * Girl enters the jail, clutching a Kirby plushie. * Eoi looks at the Girl. ( Never mind. I withdraw that statement ) * Kimiko blinks Hello there! * Eoi waves. ( She said we were all murderers before she clocked Eoi with the Corke. :P ) * Girl stands, staring at the group. Cute plushie you got there. I've got one of those in my backpack. * Hikaru blinks at the girl. * Chelsea looks up and smiles warmly. "Hello." * Eoi smiles. "I'm Eoi. Hello there." *** Shigeru has quit IRC (arwen@65.114.94.196) (Write Error: Broken pipe) ( I thought she was just referring to the club itself. ) ( ... Pause? ^^; ) (Gurk.) [Egads! Shigeru! Noooo!] (Pause?) [Pause] ( Woo. This session is FUN so far. ) * Chelsea (goes to get lemonade) * Calvin opens his eyes. * Eoi does the same. ( I was about ready to break down, then Dicesuke decided to be somewhat nice ) ( ...Dicesuke, I have underestimated you. ) * Calvin slowly climbs to his feet. ( ...I'm begging you to call the number I gave you then, Dem. ) ( You all have a weird idea of fun. ) ( I can be merciful... once in a while. ) ( Things are fun when they succeed ) ( What is a broken pipe error, anyhow? ) ( I generally prefer a long series of minor risks to huge ones ) ( Error in transferring text from one module to another. ) ( HM ) ( AFK for a few minutes. ) ( Wha'ts that going to do for her return time? ) Session Time: Sat Nov 03 00:00:00 2001 ( should just be a restart of mirc. ) ( I'll give her 6 minutes. ) ( I've gotta take a bathroom break. ) ( AFK a sec ) ( Ked: We're masochists! ) ( that reminds me of that Simpsons quote... ) ("Hey! Look, it's Ellen!" "We're lesbians!" ) ( I'll be totally honest: I'm not having fun. We keep playing wall, and it keeps hurting more. ) ( Did that show pretty much degenerate into nothing but lesbian plot things after it was revealed? ) ( Knowing that would require actually having WATCHED the show. ) ( I never watched the show either ) ( Norii: Don't like this episode? ) *** Shigeru (arwen@65.114.94.196) has joined #besm ( Odd, I'm really enjoying it. ) ( Shiggy! ) ( Wai! Shiggy! ) (Remind me to kill the telecommunications guy. I hope someone has log for what I missed?) (Wai! Shiggy-kun!) [Unpause] ( You missed nothing ) ( We paused. ) * Eoi looks around. ( One defeat after another. Things just keep getting worse, and just I think I see a possibility opening up, we just get messed up more. Wasn't it enough when Miyu lost her memory? Wasn't it enough when she got kidnapped? Wasn't it enough when... ) ( I'm enjoying it as long as I don't feel utterly helpless... ) (Or did I- aww. *^_^*) Well. [Pause again] ( Well, there should be SOMETHING decent for the group eventually... ) ( Sorry if you don't like it, Ked. ) ( I guess beating the mummy didn't count, huh? ) ( I guess I just didn't understand the genre I was signing up for. ) ( Or the ice spirit. Without which, you couldn't be on the island. ) ( Let's see... that was ten eps ago? ) ( Sorry I didn't let you kill a god. I needed him for plot. ) ( Heh. I didn't expect we'd beat him. ) ( And let's not forget the HypnoGuy's daughter. I thought rescuing her would've counted as something positive, but I guess not. ) ( What we mean is... ) ( I'm not saying there haven't been successes... but on the other hand, it doesn't deel like there's been any long-term success. ) ( But if you really hate the game that much, and if you really hate the way I do things, I don't want to force you to play. ) ( I don't really see the problem y'all have with it. ) ( I want to play. I want to participate. I want to believe you're going somewhere fun and interesting. But DAMN it's hurting to get there. ) ( We're working toward it, and even if y'all don't see progress, I do. ) (Ditto.) ( The fun part should be here soon... I can feel it ) ( I do as well. And Norii, if you want to talk about hurt, look at poor Calvin and Eoi. ) ( Poor Calvin? ) ( We literally almost died 15 minutes ago. ) ( Oh, it hurts getting there. But it makes the success all the better. ) ( Bah. You have a HP left. ((_^ ) ( Er, sorry to say, but Calvin was asking to be killed. ) ( Hardly. Aside from getting Miyu back, I wouldn't expect any happy happyness for a while. ) ( fine. Suicidal Calvin and poor Eoi? :P ) ( Oh. x.x ) ( It begins to remind me why I didn't want to run the game in the first place. ) ( Sorry... ) ( ...I just don't know how to RP this. And I'm too tired to figure it out right now. So I'm sorry if Norii doesn't do much more tonight, okay? ) ( Fine. ) [Unpause] * Eoi waves at the little girl. ( People are constantly trying to look for the big picture as players. It just doesn't work that way. ) Hi there little one. * Calvin climbs to his feet. Hiya... * Shigeru jerks his head up uncomfortably. "Wha?" ( How cute does the little girl look? ) * Girl just stands, staring at the group open-mouthed and blinking. ( Cuter than Miyu. ) * Calvin just stands there, looking at the girl. ( ;_; ) * Girl is about 13/14, you'd guess. Um.... what's your name? ^^; ... * Kimiko looks at the girl along with Eoi. * Shigeru concentrates on whoever the new person is, trying to get some idea as to his or her intentions. Thoughts/emotions? * Girl shrinks a little in her place. * Calvin stares at the girl, unblinking. I think we may be scaring her. What's so scary about us? * Chelsea is all sugar and warm smiles for the girl. "H'lo, there." * Shigeru snickers. "You have two voices, for one." * Hikaru shifts back to human form, in an attempt to look less freaky. ( Like that'd help in a country that's terrified of humans? :P ) * Calvin puts his hands on the bars of the cell. * Girl stares wide-eyed at Calvin. Don't worry about him. His name is Calvin. ( Well, it's probably better than a pale freaky human. :P ) He came here to find the girl he loves. It kind of didn't work too well. ... well... this is the first one that has the guts to come down here and see us... Hush Kimiko. * Calvin starts pulling on the bars. Don't scare the nice little girl. Y-You... Ehn. Sure. Calvin, you're scaring the kid. Calvin, don't do that! You're... Eep! We're Eep? * Calvin starts crying. * Girl backs away, in case Calvin manages to force his way out. No no little one. We're call the Mystery Club. Don't worry. Calvin won't hurt you. He's just had a bad week. ( Bad month, more like :P ) (::hands Eoi the Understatement of the Week award::) * Shigeru snorts at that, but leans back and stares into... well, whatever's ahead of him. See, he got taken to heaven for a judgement, and lost his really cool sword, then lost a duel with Kojiro the legendary swordsman, like I did, and now we are trapped in here. And lots of other stuff too. It's a really long story. [Shigeru stares at a water bottle] (Oh, is that what it is? ^_^) ... ( Er... ) ... * Calvin continues pulling on the bars. Anyway, his name is Calvin. ( Too many bloody windows ;_; ) I'm Eoi. What's your name? M-... Mia *** Girl is now known as Mia Nice to meet you Mia. Kaira says your bloodthirsty barbarian scum. I'm sure she did. H...hi, Mia-san. @_@ * Shigeru looks in Miya's general direction. "I'm Shigeru. Can't see you, but you have a pretty voice." (Takes one to know one.) Kaira doesn't seem to like us much. * Shigeru almost laughs at that. She.. well. Kaira took a friend of ours. (Miya -> Mia) We came to this island to find her.. (All those names are alike, I tell you!) Miyu, right? That's right. You know her? * Mia nods. How is she? Is she ok? She's been asleep... Oh dear.. * Shigeru blinks. "Asleep?" H-how long has she beem asleep? We came to this island to find her. You see, She and Calvin over there are in love. So, how does someone like you know Miyu? Kaira said she had to drug her pretty hard to keep her from returning to the bloodthirsty barbarian scum. * Chelsea pouts. "Kaira's so mean." ... Kaira says "bloodthirsty barbarian scum" a lot, doesn't she? @_@ * Mia looks at Calvin again, and clutches the plushie tighter. It's one of the special types where it's eyes go O.o when squeezed hard. Anyway, we came to this island.. * Shigeru thinks to Chelsea. ~Want to bet she doesn't know what 'bloodthirsty barbarian scum' means?" To find Miyu. When these two customs officals asked us to give our stuff to them. ( wai! Kirby! ) So we did. One of them ran off. * Mia nods. He came to get Kaira. He said invaders had come. So, we tried to help the other mark the weapons, when Kaira burst in and yelled at us. * Chelsea smirks goodnaturedly. We tried to explain, but then she attacked us. Said they were packing weapons, and were terrororists. What's a terrororist? She was really angry.. she almost killed my friend Calvin over there. It's someone who wants to harm others. ( Aww... isn't little kid pronounciation CUTE? ^_^ ) ( I feel the urge to puke. ) (Heh.) * Mia frowns. "So you want to hurt us?" No. ( YOu heard him, Brett! ) ( PUMP UP THE CUTE! ) * Mia clutches the plushie more. We don't want to hurt anyone. Kaira says you do. Kaira says you're training Miyu to hurt people. Kaira doesn't know us very well. Kaira doesn't understand. We really didn't come here to hurt anyone. We just wanted our friend. But then Kaira attack us. Kaira says you weren't following the rules. That you scared Kunio. Not following the rules is bad. I'm sorry if we scared Kunio. and we tried to follow the rules. You get punished and have to drink Caster Oil. Did you drink Caster Oil? No. We almost were killed. ... That's just a teensy bit worse then Castor Oil actually. ^_^; You need to drink the Caster Oil, or Fernandez will eat you. .. Fernandez? Fernandez? ( Caster Oil! The Drink of Summoners! ) Fernandez eats people who break rules without drinking Caster Oil. Who's... Fernandez? ... That bodes. Poorly. We just want to see our friend... He's like Kirby, but big, with wings. And evil. ... He's Metaknight? He eats rule breakers. ( ... ) Metaknights? You have a giant Metaknight on this island? ( -s ) Unless you drink Caster Oil. * Chelsea thinks about that. ... That's pretty cool actually. * Shigeru smiles and shakes his head. ... ... I suppose so. ... I vote we drink the Caster Oil folks. ( Mind roll - gaming (video games) ) ... yeah. 2d6 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Kimiko (2d6) and gets 7. * Dicesuke throws the bones for Eoi (2d6) and gets 12, a CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "God hates you, and so do I." 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Norii (2d6) and gets 7. Sounds like a good plan to me. 2d6-2 2d9 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Shigeru (2d9) and gets 11. * Dicesuke throws the bones for Calvin (2d6-2) and gets 2. ( @_@ ) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Hikaru (2d6) and gets 7. (Oops. :P) 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Shigeru (2d6) and gets 5. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chelsea (2d6) and gets 6. (Made it. o/~) (Ditto. ^^) ... Anyone know where we can get a Giant Kirby? ( I don't know if Kimiko made it ) .... ( Probably not. ) [Everyone who made it realizes Fernandez is the final boss of Waku Waku 7. Eoi believes Fernandez is REAL and exists on the island, and will eat him if he doesn't drink it] (*cracks up*) ( BAAAAAHAHHAHAHHAHAAH! ) ( BWAHAHAHAHAHAAA! ) ( Now THERE'S a nasty crit fail. ^_^;; ) ( That's nice. What's Waku Waku 7? Sounds like a Fozzie the Bear joke. ) * Mia pulls a bottle from a small pouch. "Here's some... You should drink it before he eats you." ( This is the best critical failure ever, Dicesuke! ) ( Caster Oil is some nasty stuff. ) ( It's a fighting game ) * Kimiko blinks. * Chelsea manages not to laugh at that. *** Dicesuke has quit IRC (dice@155.92.101.82) (Read error: Connection reset by peer) ( Fighting Game. Fernandez is a giant 8-ball shaped monster, with tiny hands, feet, and wings.] ) ( ... ) ( Did Kimiko make it, BTW? ) ( ... ) (... Pause. @_@ ) ( He's on his way back. ) ( Yeah, for all the good it'll do. ) [Pause] [Ok, no pause] ( Ah. ) ... Anyway. ( THis is funny. ) ( I can't believe I'm the only person who had the Gaming skill. ) *snerk* * Shigeru bites his lip and grins. * Mia timidly approaches the cell and holds out the Caster Oil, just far enough so that Eoi can take it without being able to grab her. ( Dem. I'm going to laugh at you next time something like this happens. ) ... ~Eoi... Fernandez isn't real...~ ... Why do you say that? ( Not gonna work, Kimiko. :P ) ( I can communicate with Eoi, right? ^^; ) * Eoi drinks the damn Caster Oil. God damned Dicesuke. ( Heh. ) ( I know. But Kimiko doesn't wanna drink the Castor Oil ) @_@ ( Funny. Really god-damned funny ((_^ ) *** Dicesuke (dice@155.92.101.82) has joined #BESM [It tastes very very... BLEAGH!!!] X.x ( And yes, Kimiko feels it too :P ) Mmm. Tasty. *gak* ( Take 5 points of stun damage? ) @_@ Eoi? Are you okay? ( *SMACKS KIMIKO* ) * Calvin continues straining against the bars. Better than being eaten... ( Stop giving the damn GM IDEAS. ) ( Ow. x.x ) Gak. Fine. Just tastes bad. * Mia backs off again, away from the bars and Calvin. Yepp.... @_@ Anyway. * Eoi sighs. Well. This is going all-around poorly. Thank you, Mia-san. We wouldn't want Eoi to get eaten. ^_^ * Shigeru nods. * Norii backs away from Eoi. But the rest of you didn't drink it. Now Kaira is going to ship off of without seeing Miyu... and I bet she's going to try to keep my Grandfather's Naginata too. ... yeah... You'll be eaten by Fernandez if you don't. We'll take our chances. Come to think of it, they DIDN'T drink it... ... Will it make you feel better if we do? But he'll eat you. ;_; Yes. Drink it now. ( Baahahahahahahah! ) Yeah. You guys drink it too. * Mia nods. "If you don't he eats your legs first. Then your arms. Then sucks out your eyes. ( Heheheh... this is good... ) * Hikaru extends his hand to Mia. "Here. I'll drink it." * Chelsea reaches out a hand, smirking. "Here, pass it around." ( Eoi still has it. ) (Aren't we cuffed? ^^;) ( Oh. ) ( What the heck is Castor Oil for, anyway? ) ( Kaira took them off when you went in :P ) ( Induces vomiting. ) (Oh. :P) ( ... ah. @_@; ) ( Really bad tasting stuff. ) ( And it's a damn good punishment. ) ( Yeah, it tastes bad, but I'm wondering if it has any medicinal use ) ( Also used for a long time on children as a cureall. ) ( ... ah. ) ( Mainly because lots of illnesses vanished upon threat of caster oil. ) ( It induces vomiting, Dem. ) ( Same with cod liver oil. ) ( ah ) ( Children's superstitions are great, aren't they? :_ ) ( WIth every mystery club session, I learn something new ) (Where were we? ^^;) * Hikaru takes the oil from Eoi and takes a swig. [Hikaru drinks. BLEAGH!] @_@ Urk. Who's next? * Shigeru tries shrinking backwards into the wall. Me. ( You guys are taking swigs... and a single spoonful is enough to induce vomiting. ) ( Yeah. ^_^; ) ( Mwahahah. ) ( That makes it funnier! :P ) * Hikaru hands it to Chelsea. ( It shall be our secret weapon. ) ( the projectile vomit defense? ) ( Melee attack (improvised) ) * Hikaru turns a bit green. ( somehow, I don't think it'll hold up in court. ) ( Shove a bottle of Castor Oil in their mouth ) * Chelsea tries to convincingly appear to drink it without actually doing so. 2d6-7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chelsea (2d6-7) and gets -2. (^_^_v) (Damn you actors.) [Chelsea succeds finely] ( Heh. ) * Chelsea makes a face. "Uhg, that's foul. Who's next to be saved from the clutches of Fernandez?" ( Mia gets a mind check to see if Chelsea actually drank it! >:D ) ( She fails :P ) (Shut UP, Demo.) * Norii takes the bottle. ( @_@ ) It's bad, but it's better than being eaten... * Chelsea nods. "Hear, hear." * Norii pretends to take a swig, letting a very little touch her lips, then immediately sets the bottle down and doubles over. Bleah... * Norii scrambles for the toilet. * Hikaru finally succumbs, and loses his lunch on the floor. * Chelsea winces. * Eoi gags. You shouldn't do things like that. Kaira says it's impolite. * Shigeru sniffs at the air and tries even harder to melt into the wall. Sorry. Kinda hard...not to. @_@ So how do you know Kaira, anyway? @@; She says you should only do it over a toilet, or somewhere you can clean up. I think it's better to not break the rules in the first place. Looks like Hikaru broke another rule. ...! Better take more Castor Oil before Fernandez comes. That's right! * Chelsea nods sagely. "Good advice. The kid's sharp." No I didn't! It was... ;_; Yeah... she's a smart little girl. * Shigeru murmurs. "You people are evil. Shoulda stayed in my room, where it was nice and safe. Evil evil evil..." ( Title for this session: Mystery Club drinks Castor Oil * Hikaru weeps bitterly. * Mia looks at Hikaru. "Better drink it again, you you'll get eaten." Drink up! >:D A >: sided die, how very clever, you son of a bot. (... ) * Hikaru shudders, takes a TINY sip, hands it to whoever and heads for the toilet. * Mia blows Dicesuke through the roof. ( Poor Hikaru. ) ( The universe hates me. ;_; ) ( yep ) At least now he won't get eaten. ( The universe made Eoi think Fernandez is real ) Yep ( Heh. Poor Eoi :P ) A..at least...Fern...blah... can't get me. X_x Hmm. ( I hate that dicebot. ) ... looks like we got everyone but Shigeru (He let you live.) * Shigeru blinks once. "Oooh no." ...wh...what about Cal...calvin? Oh yeah. Him too. * Calvin continues straining futilely against the bars. * Mia frowns. "But he's scary" ;_; * Chelsea grins. "C'mon, Shiggy. Don't wanna get eaten, do you?" * Shigeru looks balefully in Chelsea's general direction. Don't make me answer that. Yeah. Or Fernandez is going to come and eat your eyes. ...if I have to drink it...so do you, Shigeru. *looks up and manages to glare* Your EYES Shigeru! ...Shiggy? And I'm supposed to miss them why? Is he THE Shiggyman? .. Shiggyman? * Shigeru blinks. "Huh?" Shiggyman? ...He doesn't look so scary. * Kimiko says that in unison with Eoi Who's the Shiggyman? * Shigeru rubs the back of his head. "Since when was I supposed to look scary?" Is it like a boogieman? The Shiggyman. Kaira says that he kidnaps children who use foul language. * Shigeru considers that. * Shigeru snickers. (Damn, Kaira's full of it.) ... Shiggy? Shiggy wouldn't hurt a fly. Hell, He's such a nice guy. ( Yeah, but she seems to really care about kids ) ( Heh ) Eh? No, this is my friend Shigeru. I call him 'Shiggy' as a joke. He's nice. .. Oh You shouldn't call him such a scary name. ;_; Ok. We won't. He's got scruffy hair! * Shigeru grins and shakes his head. I'm sorry, Mia. I'll just call him Shigeru. Is that alright? * Mia considers. "Well, Kaira did say that the Shiggyman had carrots for hair, so I guess he couldn't be the Shiggyman." * Mia nods. * Shigeru touches the ends of his hair. "Yup. Definitely not carrots." ...carrots? * Chelsea nods. "There, see? Not the Shiggyman." (Must be Carrot Top.) ( Heh ) ( Carrot Top is scary. ) (He's frightening enough.) Castor Oil, Shigeru ( Next thing you know, we'll be hearing about the Green Man. ) * Mia nods. "If you use foul language, you need to eat raw onions, or the Shiggyman will kidnap you in your sleep. No way! It's that or... Fernandez. ... Wow. Shig is a legend around here. Congradulations Shig! * Shigeru groans. "Yeah. I should be so lucky." * Chelsea grins. "Dig it, Shigeru. you're famous." Who else punishes kids if they do bad things and don't eat or drink stuff? Whoo. So you're my adoring fans, huh? Don't sound too...adoring. *groans* They say that if children are violent, Iori will break his code of non- violence and rip them apart. ... * Kimiko blinks. Iori. You mean like from King of Fighters? Well, damn. Hate to find out what happens to the adults. As in, the King Of Fighters guy? ( Shiggy's from a game, isn't he? ) * Chelsea nods. "Makes perfect sense to me." ( Nah. That was random. ) * Mia nods. ( Ah ) It's ok for adults if they have good reason. Really? What's a good reason? Hmm... So how do you know Kaira, anyway? Um... * Mia thinks. Well, Kaira said self-defense... Or protecting others. * Shigeru considers this. * Mia blinks at Eoi/Kimiko. Why do you have 2 voices? I'm stuck in this person's head. Long story. This voice is Kimiko. * Mia blinks. The other one is Eoi. So why do you hang around with Kaira, anyway? Long. Long story. Kaira's nice. She takes care of me an' the others. The others? * Mia nods. "The people without families. The Orphies." ... oh. * Chelsea frowns. ... there are a lot of you guys? I'm not an Orphy. Oh. But she takes care of me too. * Eoi ponders. * Shigeru sighs and says in a low voice, "Think about it. Kaira's one of the only people around here who can, and is willing, to fight. Maybe the only one." That's nice. What're your parents like? * Eoi nods. ...yeah... Kaira says mom and dad are bonkers. Too bad she's become what she is. * Kimiko blinks. ^^; ( Gah. Sleepy. ) What do you think of your mom and dad? She says they can't think straight, so she takes care of me. ... Oh dear. I'm.. sorry to hear that. * Mia frowns. "Mom's nice, but always been a bit odd. Dad..." ... oh. ..... what happened? Kimiko.. Something happened a few years ago. Kaira went looking for Miyu. ~What is it?~ Dad didn't want her to go. But she did. I was supposed to be asleep when she came back, but I wasn't. I heard them talking. I think Kaira was crying. She said something about rape. Dad wasn't the same the next day. * Chelsea raises her eyebrows. * Shigeru 's eyes snap wide and he stiffens. ... ... I see... ... ...that's horrible... so, the reason why she hates humans... ( Well Jesus. That came out of left field. ) ... dear god. Kaira changed after that, too. Started learning how to fight. But she was still nice. * Shigeru hisses between his teeth. "Whoever did this..." ( Bout time y'all got around to figuring this out. ) (Well, that explains an awful lot.) An' she was an adult, so it was ok. ... * Eoi leans against the wall. So. That explains it. Then dad paid her an allowence a month ago to go find Miyu. * Chelsea nods thoughtfully. She didn't want to, but she went anyhow. And she brought her back. ... wow. Aside from the whole human hating thing, Kaira doesn't sound like such a bad person. * Shigeru grabs the strap to his laptop case with one hand and clutches it as he stares ahead. His knuckles start to turn white. Do...do you know why Miyu left? * Eoi looks off into space. Kaira wouldn't tell us. I wasn't born then, but Kaira said mom lost her. She said Miyu was lost... * Kimiko blinks. * Chelsea goes to sit next to Shigeru and places a comforting hand on his shoulder. She says the day mom lost her was the day mom lost "it" So Miyu is... your sister? That's what Kaira says. Mom and Dad, too, so I guess she must be. * Kimiko blinks... ( "Mia", "Miyu"... duh, I suppose. ) * Shigeru transmits anger, hatred, sorrow into Chelsea. He continues staring ahead. (Loudest thought, Chel.) ( Mweh. ) Well crap. This is really quite upsetting. * Eoi is trying his best not to curse. I really don't want to taste that Castor Oil again. ~How're you-- oh.~ Mom and dad seem happy, but they're still bonkers. ... well, I'm sure things will turn out better somehow... (No, it's be raw onion this time.) ( No, cursing is ... yeah ) What do they do that's bonkers? Kimiko! ( No, if you curse, you have to eat onions. :P Or Shiggy will get you. ) (Bwahahaha!) ( I'll let Shiggy get me. ) ( Heh ) ( ... Actually, Shiggy scares me more. Bring on the raw onion! ) Kaira says they don't act like normal adults act. And the neighbors agree with it. So I guess it's true. ( will let Shiggy get me any day. ) I'm.. geez. I'm really sorry Mia. * Mia blinks. "'Bout what?" ... Nevermind. Don't worry about it. Did I break a rule? I don't want to drink the Caster Oil ;_; Well. This adds a new and very disturbing twist .. to everything. No, I don't think you broke any rules. No, you did good, Mia. * Mia smiles a bit at that. Thanks for coming to see us. This cheered us up a bit. Oh! I wanted to ask about Miyu. * Kimiko blinks. * Chelsea licks her lips at that, because biting them would be too obvious. Kaira says she's been living with you scum all this time. * Shigeru continues sitting ramrod straight, eyes unfocused. I don't know anything about her, so I was hoping you could tell me about her. ... Calvin? Well. Miyu is a very friendly girl. You tell. Eoi translates. A bit silly at times.. but very nice. She.. kinda lost her memories recently. So she doesn't even remember us very well. It's sad. She likes to sleep a lot. Yes. She is a very sleepy kinda person. Mom and dad like to sleep a lot too. Kaira said I should get lots of sleep. *** Norii is now known as Ked But she goes to bed later and wakes up earlier. ( I like to sleep too, and if I don't go soon, I'll be messed up all week. Sorry, guys. ) *** Ked has quit IRC (kerryms@minnow086.maplenet.net) (Quit: Sign up for Steam Phoenix!) ( Ba-... denied. ^^; ) ~Oi. Eoi. Is Calvin likely to say anything?~ * Eoi nods. ( I have no idea Demota. ) ( Why the hell are you asking me? ((_^; ) ( Since he's mute, probably not. ) ( ... ) ( Ehn. Just wondering if Calvin could sign to Eoi, who would pass it on ) Sounds like Kaira works very hard. * Kaira suddenly walks in through the door. "Mia! What are you doing here?!" ( Sorry, Calvin is pretty much incoherent right now. ) Kaira! I was just- ( Ah ) Urk. * Calvin strains against the bars even harde.r * Shigeru hears Kaira's voice and stands. Kaira. * Kaira shoos Mia out. "Don't come in here, Mia. You mustn't talk to these people. *** Mia is now known as Kirby2 * Chelsea favors Shigeru with a worried expression. * Kaira turns towards the MC. You... If you've done anything to pollute her mind, I'll... ... * Kaira shakes with rage. * Shigeru turns in the direction of where he heard Kaira last speak. "I understand, Kaira." I'm sorry. * Kaira glares. I'm very sorry, Kaira. None of us had any idea. I really am. * Kaira walks out the door. "Come on Mia. Let's go home and eat ice cream." ( we shall have fun eating ice cream. wai. ) [A distant "Wai! Ice Cream!" is heard] [Session End]
