[After a hectic day, MC rested up, then decided to meet in the clubroom. Due to Miyu foolishly giving the address to a perfect stranger, Mei-Yin is there as well.] (No, but the guy who beat you into the ground did. ^_~) [Session Start] ( Blargh. ) So, Mei-Yin, what were you doing there, anyway? ( ((_; Poor Eoi. Hopefully he'll do something useful today. ) * Chelsea yawns and stretches. .. Uh. Whosis? * Shigeru slumps in a chair. He removes his glasses and rubs at his eyes. Um. She's the girl who was attacked last night. Yeah... Oh. Why's she here? [Oh yeah, Eoi's male this morning.] Because Miyu gave her the club address. .. Oh. *** Kirby is now known as Kimiko ( Gah. Disregard past line ) Why did Miyu give her the club address? * Miyu blinks. Who's this girl? Are you sure this is the same girl...? * Chelsea chuckles. "Yes, it's her." It isn't the same girl now? So Miyu just gave the address to random person on the street? Oh. It is her. Thanks Chel. I remember a girl, but I don't think this was her... * Shigeru puts his glasses back on and glances at Mei-Yin. "Huh, she wasn't kidding. Yes, it's her." I... I... ... odd... * Mei-Yin looks ready to cry again. * Miyu blinks. What's wrong? * Hikaru looks at the girl in confusion. * Kimiko yawns. "Mornin'. What's going on?" ...nothing. everything is okay. .... so, tell us about yourself. 'more Kimiko. Evil bastards wrecked my bike. And now this new girl is here. ( 'morning. ) Not much in other words. Huh? Another one? Yeah, another one. Now, besides the fact that Miyu gave her our address, WHY is she here? * Shigeru shrugs. Well, how else do.... I... I'm confused. So am I. Is she or isn't she the same girl as last night? Maybe because she deserves to know why she shouldn't write a story about us for the school paper? * Chelsea nods. * Miyu blinks. She was going to write a story? Oh. *Yes*, she's the same girl as the one from last night. Oh. Why does she seem different? The why don't I recognize her? Yeah... Uh, don't write a story because it'll ruin.. well at least Miyu and Hikaru and Vicki's lives. * Mei-Yin starts crying softly and curls up in her seat. ... Why's she crying? Aww, hell. * Miyu frowns... I don't recognize her either! Wait a sec., I was asleep by then... Hey? Are you ok? Um...what's wrong? I'm sorry for not recognizing you...it was kinda crazy last night... Nothing, I'm fine, don't worry about it. *sniff* * Shigeru stands up, grabs a box of Kleenex, and sits next to Mei-Yin. "Come on, it'll be okay. Just explain it to them." Hmm... Why? They'll just forget! Forget? * Shigeru shrugs. Forget what? It's worth a try. Shiggy, what's going on? * Shigeru looks over at Eoi. ...I know my memory isn't that bad... Some kinda explantion would be nice... Mei-Yin here's been following us for a while. But we didn't notice her. I'm not an honor student for no reason. Oh. Simple enough. I know I don't forget faces like this. * Miyu blinks. ... Unless.. does she have some supernatural reason we don't notice her? You don't remember me because noone ever remembers me! ( That's right! She spent CP to be an honor student! :P ) I don't know. Sh- yeah, what she said. That's what I'm guessing... Huh? How's that? Oh. Wow, that kinda sucks. ... well, that's it. We just gotta find the problem, then fix it. And nobody notices me, except Shigeru. ... Why does Shigeru notice you? ( Mei-Yin has an Arcane rating of 6! :P ) ( Hikaru: Exactly. ) ... I'm confused. ( Except that she can't turn it off. ) 'Cause Shigeru's psychic, remember? ... That makes sense. So am I! Shigeru is special! ( No, you're psionic :P ) * Mei-Yin glomps Shigeru's arm. *** Darkheart has joined #BESM (... what's the difference? ) ( You can't read minds :P ) * Shigeru nods. "Yeah. I sense people... most of the time it's like whitenoise, but I've never really realized how much I rely on it." Gah. ... Oh dear. I feel bad for her. Why is she grabbing your arm like Kimiko on Andrew Shiggy? That's awful... * Shigeru blinks at Mei-Yin, then mentally shrugs. "Um... 'cause I remember her?" There's actually a really interesting story behind that, Eoi. ... Fair enough. Don't do it! He'll just leave you for another woman in the long run! But that's the short version. ^_~ I'm in the mood for an interesting story. Quiet, Kimiko. So, do tell. * Shigeru facepalms. And yeah, I'd like to hear... WHA!? In fact... * Mei-Yin lets go and starts crying. ... Ignore The vampire in my head Mei-Yin. EOi's got another voice in his head. She's.. had a bad experience. Yeah... She's quite bitter. Her love interest just died. ... as did mine. You would be too if the man you loved just up and left you, Eoi. Don't worry, I'm sure Shiggy won't abandon you for some other girl. ... Uh.. So... somehow everyone forgets your face? * Shigeru looks at Mei-Yin, totally at loss as to what to do. Shigeru wouldn't do that. * Miyu takes out a notepad and pencil. Is it some sort of curse? * Chelsea rolls her eyes. "Anyway. Who wants to start with the explanations?" Well, I would except I have no idea what the hell is going on. Alright, I'll write things down, so I'll be able to remember them easier. If that doesn't work, I can at least read over things So, you are saying that.. if we leave and come back.. we won't remember you? * Mei-Yin nods and cries. When did this start to happen? * Miyu is writing notes and stuff That's so sad... Does this even happen with your parents? Hmm. How long does it take for someone to forget you? ... Wow. This sucks. * Mei-Yin snifs and wipes her eyes on her sleeve. * Chelsea walks over to Shig and taps his head. "Hey, Shiggo. Wake up, eh?" That sure as hell sounds like a curse. I don't know how long it takes... I think it depends on their concentration, or on them being distracted. Maybe there is some way to cure it? Too b... hey. ... Where the hell IS Nakamura anyway? Hmm. That was my first thought too, Eoi, but I'm not really sure. And it's always been like this, even from kindergarten. I remember raising my hand and being ignored. * Shigeru blinks. "I'm awake, I just- well, um." He hands some tissue to Mei. * Miyu nods... Theeere you go. Much better. So... ever since you were born? * Norii gets out her PDA and starts making notes. ... Wow. That's just awful Yin. ... That's either some kind of uncontrolled supernatural power or a curse.. Or maybe she's part supernatural herself... Anyone ever hear of anything like this? Hm.... who seems exempt from the inability to remember? Shigeru! * Mei-Yin hugs Shigeru's arm again. * Norii tries to think of anything like this she's read about. Remember what? Chelsea, you seem to remember her. Far as I can tell, I'm the only one. Probably just because I'm telepathic. * Chelsea chuckles. "I'd like to note that I remember her as well, but I have a really good memory jogger for that." Even her parents don't remember her? * Shigeru smiles slightly at Mei-Yin. You remember her too Chel? How weird.. * Eoi ponders.. What memory jogger is that? * Shigeru blinks, then blushes a bit. So.. you have a kind of memory-tab that reminds you of the day you met her. Well, "I met you before I fought that gun-weilding psychopath, but after I met my long lost demonic and/or vampiric brother for the first time" isn't something I feel I'm liable to forget anytime soon. Hmm...but I met her right after I tore the head off of a gun weilding maniac, and I still forgot. * Chelsea shrugs. She was with me half the night, though... So she might not forget for a while. Hmmm She will, though, I know it. Yeah. Add pork lo mein to your memory tab, Chelsea. * Miyu scribbles down things... Oh yeah, that reminds me! Eh? So... the longer someone spends with you, the longer they remember you? Weird. * Chelsea chuckles. "That *was* some good pork lo mein." * Mei-Yin turns around and starts digging in her backpack and brings out a stack of lunches. I made a little too much food this morning... Maybe the amount of time spent with the her is how long we'll remember her? * Miyu blinks * Shigeru blinks at the stack. "No kidding." [Eoi snatches one!] No! That looks good. * Mei-Yin snatches it back and gives Eoi adifferent one. What? * Mei-Yin hands _that_ one to Shigeru. * Hikaru blinks. Hey! Er... What? * Shigeru sweatdrops and accepts the lunch. "Um, thanks." Kimiko, don't snatch. ...huh? Uh.. Thank you. But she said we could have them, and I'm hungry ;_; Yes, but you have to be patient. ;_; * Chelsea raises an eyebrow. * Mei-Yin hands out lunches to everybody and still has two left. * Miyu is still scribbling down everything that's been said. ( That's a lot of lunch. ^_^ ) Ooh... Thank you. (Mmm, food. :9) * Eoi munches on the lunch. "Thanks a lot! Sorry about Kimiko." * Miyu devours and devours and devours, faster than she normally eats. And seems to be eating a bit more than usual. * Hikaru eats. Um, thanks. * Chelsea munches. n_n ( Look out Shiggy! Yours is spiked with Passion Spice! ) * Norii eats hers daintily. (*smacks Eoi*) ( Hey! How did you know?! ) Alright... * Miyu closes her eyes and concentrates... ( I was gonna make it turn him into a plushie ;_; ) * Hikaru thinks. About how much time did you spend with Shigeru and Chelsea? * Shigeru opens the lunch and eats. "This is really good." * Miyu pulls out a second sheet and starts listing down some common mathematical equations.... *** Darkheart is now known as DH-0WAY ( Just so you guys know... Mei-Yin is a senior year Culinary Arts student. The food is _good_ ) ( Heh ) ... oh yeah, and gimme the recipe for that sometime... Miyu, I don't think that will work without knowing when Chelsea forgets. Mmm. This is really good! If I remember you, it'll be by this! * Eoi continues munching. I have a theory... See? I told ya! It was very good. Thank you. It is quite delectable... Now, we still remember that we saw a girl, correct? Yeah. I don't remember. Does it normally degrade into people not remembering even seeing a girl? I... don't think so. Usually they just forget what I looked like, what I was wearing, and my name. I mean, I remember seeing a person, and the situation and everything, but I just can't make the connection between her and you. Hmmm..... Does it go straight from that state to remembering you clearly, or is it gradual? I... I don't know. Miyu, she's not psychic. She can't know how people forget her. Hmm... * Miyu scribbles that down... Now, it COULD be an accelerated learning retention loss thingy... * Miyu is muttering things to herself now... let's see... Mei-Yin-san, what about your family? Can they remember you? Whatever it is, it's unnatural. ... So, it's either a power she has that she can't control... or some kind of curse. aliens want good food.... by making people forget her.... hm... yes, turn away from humans.... ... and then drive her to work for THEM! THOSE FIENDS! >_< ... * Norii tosses a bit of food at Miyu. Ooh. * Miyu catches it in her mouth. :9 My parents only remember that they have a daughter, really. They don't know _me_ * Shigeru finishes eating. "I don't see how uncontrolled powers are any different than curses, really." Did they ever find it... strange? * Chelsea frowns. "Now that *is* tough." That's...horrible. * Miyu scribbles that down too.. ... They don't? That's got to be hell. "And Shig's got a point, too." Hmm... Damn. ... Maybe we can find some way to help her? Well, of course. If it's a curse, though...how did she get it? Born under a bad star? Family curse? Let's see... hm... Who knows? Parents offended a demon, bloodline curse... she tripped over a cursed rock one day for all we know. I wish I knew something about this kind of stuff. Curse... hmm... There are more ways to curse people then there are grains of sand on a beach. ( She angered Fernandez. ) Is anyone picking up any signs of supernatural things coming from her? I'm don't think so.. Although that doesn't do much. She's not a ghost, she's not evil and she hasn't been lying. And you can normally sense supernaturals... although my psionics somehow sets it off... _. It's your Smorfyness that sets it off. I'll have to see why mine triggers a false alarm and nothing is being picked up from Shigeru sometime... but getting back to the point... I'm a human. Miyu. You are a SMORFY. Notice how you had the SAME powers as Karia? * Shigeru groans and leans back in his chair. "Not this again." We'll settle this later, Eoi. We have something to address. ... Oy. So how is this going to work? Are we going to forget about your problem once you leave, or will we remember a girl with this problem, but be unable to associate "her" with you later? Here, we have a person, who needs some kinda help! [Just as Miyu says that, the phone rings] * Eoi grabs the phone * Miyu blinks. "Hello?" I... You'll have all your notes, I think... but you won't remember that it's me that you wrote about. Yes. This is them. ... alright, it's really important that I have your name, otherwise I have nothing to assocaite this file with... Hmm... Now, to recognize you, or pick you apart from people who falsely claim to be you... Who is it, Eoi? * Shigeru sighs heavily. How about this. Just ask me if it's really her. I'll know, right? I meant if you aren't available. Come to the.. where? Maybe some kinda password... or secret handshake.. or something... It's okay, you probably won't even notice me around... *sniff* ... * Miyu frowns. * Shigeru gives Mei another kleenex. Guys. Shush. Need to hear this. Look.. we want to solve your problem ... * Eoi hands up. * Chelsea looks towards Eoi. "What's up?" Ok folks. We've got a fun problem. * Miyu blinks. ... eh? Oh, joy. A fun problem. What now? I was told by someone with an interest accent. What kind? ( interesting accent... ) "Come to the Okura Dojo in 2 hours or someone important to you will die!" ... ... Looks like we don't have a choice. -_- Why is it the only people who call us on the phone want us to come somewhere or something we care about dies. Couldn't he have come up with a better line? I mean, seriously. ...why is every day one of those days? How nice. (Can Chelsea recognize the accent?) Send us a letter or something. Give me the phone. Because this is Mystery Club. And everyone loves Mystery Club. ( Maybe if you heard the person speak :P ) * Eoi hands Hikaru the phone. "They hung up." They were arguing tho'. They? In another language. * Hikaru dials Vicki's number. Alright, now Mei-Yin... any major abilities you have? * Miyu blinks Yeah. The person who called and someone else. (Ah. Guess Eoi didn't mimic it well enough, then. ;P) ( And the Okura Dojo is a historic start, by the way. ) a-abilities? Fire a gun, detect things, somehow heal people.... etc. Who says she has any Miyu? There ARE normal people in the world. She's also got that memory problem... Besides. I'm just asking. Aside from being able to go anywhere she likes without being notices? I don't think she has any major abilities. Unless you include the fact that she cooks really well. n_n Is Vicki-san in? Heh. Oh, okay. Thank you. ... Uh folks. Are we going to go or not. Hikaru? * Hikaru hangs up. Because I need to start walking to get there on time. * Eoi GRUMBLES. I wish I could afford a new bike... Take the bus. No way. Let's go... Not getting me into one of those things. ... IF you're nice, Eoi, I'll buy you a new one. Now let's all start walking. We have to go. Vicki's supposed to be in class right now...I hope it's not her they tool... -l +k Hmm.. Could be. Either way, we've got YET another problem. I agree with Shigeru. Let's go. Yeah. ... Mei? You've followed us around before, right? So, shall we be off? * Shigeru stands with a sigh, then looks down at Mei-Yin. "So, that's that. We might end up in a fight again... you probably don't want to come." She may have watched us fight before... * Chelsea stands, and walks to the door, opening it. I have to come. I have to see it, so I can write about it. * Hikaru gets up and stands by the door. ...write? * Shigeru winces. * Miyu nods... Not for the paper? I hope? * Miyu gets ready. ... Ok. Let's cut to the short. She's NOT going to be talked out of this So, follow us and stay out of the way. The paper? No! * Mei-Yin glomps onto Shigeru arm again. I wouldn't do that to you! ... let's go. * Chelsea sweatdrops. * Hikaru smiles. "Maybe you can right a book about this some day." * Shigeru sighs with relief, then blushes slightly. "Er... right. That's good to hear." Ok folks. Let's roll. Sorta. Yeah * Eoi starts the nice walk for the Dojo. Yeah, someday, that would be cool. * Shigeru walks. Yay! * Miyu goes along. Kojiro again, I wonder... * Chelsea walks. ( We're walking, we're walking... ) (Back inna sec.) * Hikaru walks with the group. * Mei-Yin walks along, holding onto Shigeru's arm. That would just figure. I do *not* want to have another mental battle with that guy. [After a nice, 30 minute walk, the group gets to the Dojo. There's a man outside selling tickets for self-guided tours] Hmm... we've still got an hour and a half... Well we're here. I'm guessing we need a ticket. Yeah. How long are the tours, though? *** Kirby has joined #besm That was quicker than expected. "The tours are as long as you please, ma'am. The dojo closes at 9:00, though. ( What time is it now? ) ( 1:00 ) (Back) Well, why not? Hmm... I guess we can afford the time. It's something to do. Let's go. * Chelsea shrugs. "Sure, I guess." Nice place. We'll tour it. Hope it doesn't get destroyed. They didn't say to meet AT the time, did they? Just to show up within two hours? Yeah... "Er... I'm sorry? Oh well, that'll be $20 (in yen) each." Maybe they'll find us when we tour... Yeah. Let's go. Mei-Yin? * Eoi pays the cash. * Hikaru buys a ticket. * Miyu pays and stuff * Norii forks over bills. * Shigeru fishes through his pockets and manages to come up with enough money, which he hands over. Kind of steep, isn't that? * Mei-Yin buys a ticket. * Chelsea purchases a ticket. The man doesn't sell Mei-Yin a ticket. * Miyu blinks. "Hm? I thought it was rather a small price, personally. I voted to raise it to $22 (in yen), but the boss didn't like that idea much..." * Hikaru glares at the man. "You've got another customer. Pay attention." * Mei-Yin deposits the money in his pocket and takes a ticket, acting like she's done this often. ...geez, if that's the sort of service she gets, no wonder she leaned to cook for herself. He blinks. "Er? I do?" Ah, never mind. ...nevermind. Let's go. * Chelsea grins. "Not any more, you don't. Have a nice day." "Enjoy the tour!" * Miyu goes along. The man scratches his head. * Shigeru shakes his head. * Mei-Yin latches back onto Shigeru's arm. You see? * Chelsea fails to be surprised. Geez... Mei-Yin... it's like he didn't even see you... .... Man. That's weird. * Shigeru also fails to be surprised and walks along. "Yeah, I see. That's insane." ... expected, but weird. [MC enters the dojo's yard. They stand on a fairly long path leading up to the dojo. Off to the left is a small Koi pond. To the right are some practice dummies.] ( It's an SEP field! ) Although being able to get into some places for free are nice. ( I made that comment a while back Hikaru. ((_^ ) Hmmmm... ( Oh. Didn't notice. ) ( Somebody Else's Problem Frield for those of your who've never read the HHGTG books. ) ( Heh ) * Miyu ponders... ( ... Field. How did I butcher it like that? ((_@ ) Well. This is a nice place. I'm assuming the Dojo is where we want to be. ... have you ever regularly communicated with someone without them actually seeing you? Yeah. Yeah... * Chelsea looks around. [There are six stone lanterns lining the way to the dojo] ... well, let's go forward. Yeah, I have, actually. But only online. * Hikaru keeps a wary eye out. Do people remember you online? * Eoi looks nervously around. * Chelsea nods to herself. I have another identity online, basically. I'm a different person. Try to connect the two, though... And they forget? It's just like when I do my schoolwork. * Eoi slowly moves forward, looking every which way for an ambush. * Miyu blinks. ??? Yeah, how does that go? ...I guess that would make it kind of hard to get help from instructors. I do the homework, and turn it in, and it gets graded. Mei-Yin gets good grades, 'cause she works so hard. Or participate in labs, or much of anything that involves personal interaction. [Eoi is suddenly attacked by nothing :P] But if you ask my teachers to point me out in the class, they couldn't. :/ * Shigeru detaches Mei from his arm and squeezes her shoulder. "I'm sorry." (Aaah! The evil nothing!) ( It's a Null! Run! ) [Inside the dojo is a mother and her two sons, looking over some armor, and a young couple staring at the weapons] ( Not the Nothing! That thing's badass! ) ("You are attacked by nothing." "I fire a magic missile at nothing." "Sadly, you fail to hit nothing and the magic missile slams into something instead.") * Miyu blinks. [The dojo itself is pretty durn big.] ( The Nothingness shall devour us all! ) ... Wow. Nice place. Nice little place. * Norii admires the historical site. *yawn* * Shigeru pushes his glasses up his nose and looks around. Booooring. So, guys. What do you think the "thing we love" that they have is? I dunno * Hikaru looks around for an ambush or anything suspicious, rather than looking at the scenery. * Miyu continues forward while speaking and stuff. 'could be anything from my Grandfather.. (in which case they have to die) to Nakamura's car for all we know. So, it's just the sight that they fail to remember you by, Mei? * Mei-Yin wanders around beside Shigeru, looking at all the cultural treasures. [Hikaru spots nothing especially unusual] No... nobody hears me, either, I think. Hmm... * Chelsea somehow manages to stay awake through it all. * Miyu is walking through and stuff. * Shigeru doesn't look away from the swords he's peering at as he thinks to the rest of the group, ~I don't know, Eoi. But you did say "someone important", so that about limits it, doesn't it?~ * Eoi nods. ( They've kidnapped Kirby! ) What about photographs and voice recordings? (The bastards!) Personally, I'm going to bet on.. I don't know, Nakamura? Not Kaira again, I hope... Him or Vicki. Of course, it'll probably end up being a total surprise. If it's Vicki....they die. Slowly. Of course, they could have nobody and this could be a trap. I don't know... Or a bluff. [Time passes. The mother eventually leads her bored kids out] Hmm... maybe it's like prosopagnosia... Wow, you guys must have lots of trouble. YEah, we do. ( Ha! ) * Shigeru snickers. You're really nervous. You could say that. Everyone's got their own story, yeah. Lots and lots and lots. When 5 of your friends have died in the past month, that would be pretty bad also... * Chelsea smirks. ... or was it 4... * Norii counts on her fingers. "Five?" When I first met these guys, we got attacked by an ice ghost. That was a fairly light evening, compared to some of the others. Quing, Calvin, Miyuki, Andrew... ... yeah, it was probably 4. * Shigeru loses the snicker and shakes his head. * Miyu is walking along and stuff. ...Miyuki. Right. ... I never knew her, and her very existence was a threat to my life... But I feel sorry for her. Geez.. this is a huge place... ... if this winds up being Watanabe Shinnosuke, I'll be very upset. * Hikaru checks his watch. ( You guessed ;_; ) (..... Seriously? @_@ ) ...I almost forgot about that guy. What a loser. ( ...who? ) Private number... [Time: 1:30. The couple get bored and leave] I forget his serial number. 70559. [MC is alone in the dojo now.] Ah ... looks like that guy's going to wait until time is up to reveal himself. Or whoever. ( Since when was he "important" to us? ) Well, even if it IS that guy, we've gotta save him. ( He isn't. But someone might think he is ) *** Greg has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer ) * Shigeru sighs and walks a bit away from the rest of the group. ... Shiguer? * Hikaru blinks at Shigeru. "You can remember that, no wonder you can remember Mei-san." * Eoi looks around nervously. ... Shiggy, what's wrong? I dunno - I wouldn't want to bother saving him. Shigeru? Oi! Shigeru! * Mei-Yin walks after Shigeru. Wan't it 70599, Shig? ...and is something wrong? Eoi? Something happening? Shigeru? Can you hear me? * Shigeru is looking at some armor, and he doesn't seem to be too keen on responding to you. :P * Chelsea frowns. .... ... Shigeru? ... can anyone detect anyhting on that armor? * Eoi taps Shigeru on the shoulder. "W.. what's wrong?" Did we upset you? * Shigeru jumps slightly. "Huh? Oh, nothing." ... It's not nothing. What's up Shiggy? ... is that normal, historic armor, or is there something weird and supernatural with it? If it's personal, don't worry about it. Are you sensing something? [The armor seems like normal armor.] [It does not come to life to attack Miyu, much as it'd like to] * Shigeru rubs his forehead and turns to look at Eoi. "Nah. I'm just... well." He shrugs. The Mystery Club needs all the information it can get, Shigeru. It could save lies. ( Lives ) ( ROFL ) Tired? * Shigeru glares at Miyu. "Do you think I don't *know* that?" If it's important, Shigeru will tell us, Miyu. Hai... I wouldn't blame you. We've been through a lot lately, without any rest. Shigeru wouldn't hide anything important. ... and we'll need to find Calvin's mother. She's still hiding from whatever it was that destroyed their home. ...I don't want to meet Calvin's mother. She'll probably kill us all for letting her sons die. * Shigeru glares at Miyu a bit more, then turns and looks at the armor again. * Miyu frowns... Or if we do find her, she'll get sucked into this and die herself... .... Shiggy.. ...yeah. .... Ok. It's something about the armor, isn't it? * Shigeru sighs. "What is it now?" ... No, it's nothing about the armor. Nothing. Sorry. * Brett slaps Chelsea around a bit with a large trout ( O.o ) ... well, we've got to find SOMETHING about her... ( Ummm.. Ignore that. ) I'm not even looking at the fucking armor. Okay? ,,, ( Aaaaiiiiieeeee! ) * Chelsea (resents that. _) O_O .... Shiggy. Wh.. (Get him, Chelsea, get him!) A-are you okay? ... Listen, if someone did something to offend you.. * Norii (shoots Brett) Hey, guys, lay off 'im already, alright? ( /me dies. ow. ) ( /me imagines a survival horror game where you're chased around a mansion by a little guy who slaps you around with a large trout. ) No. No, nobody did anything to offend me. I'm just... thinking, is all. ( Wah! Don't give the plot of Run away ;_; ) ... I wish Nakamura were back... (Oh, no! It's TroutMan!) Why is he still gone? (Poor Katie. ;_;) ... Because he isn't back yet, Miyu. Ok Shiggy. If anything's wrong... hell, we'll trust you to tell us. Sorry for invading your privacy. *** Greg has joined #BESM * Eoi wanders away from Shiggy. *** Greg has quit IRC (Quit: SWScript v3.0 has arrived. The Force is strong with this one... http://www.outer-rim.net/swscript/ ) [Time: 1:50] It's been a while since I was brought back... isn't that the reason why he left? * Shigeru shakes his head and gives up any pretence of looking at anything, settling for leaning against a wall instead. ... I hoper Shiggy is ok.. ( -r ) I dunno, Miyu. Same here... ( Mweh. You miss your bishonen leader now, I bet! :P ) * Norii is getting bored, and starts reading a book on her PDA. ( Actually, we miss the only ally we had who ever KNEW anything. X.x ) * Eoi walks back over to Shiggy. "Sorry to interrupt your thinking.. but it's almost time" * Norii looks up. ( Wouldn't be Mystery Club without Mystery, now would it? ) * Shigeru blinks. "Ah, yeah. Okay." ( Actually, you got about 40 minutes to go :P ) * Norii looks back down. And Eoi... sorry if I took anything out on you. It's ok! It's fun to blame Eoi for stuff! ... I still think we should find Calvin's mother... * Miyu looks worried * Shigeru snickers as he glances at his watch. "So says the vampire in his head." Don't worry about it. ^_^ Ah yes. Vampire in the head. We really need to do something about that soon. * Chelsea chuckles. You know, once we actually have time to rest. * Mei-Yin blinks twice. So.. four years from now. That's for sure. Shigeru... * Shigeru looks over at Mei-Yin. "Hm?" Does that man really have a vampire in his head? Yup. And he's a priest in training, no less. He's carrying her in his head until we can find a cure. ...I've gotta write this down. .... we still need to visit Kimiko's brother sometime. [Time: 2:03. Two girls about your age enter the dojo from outside. They're dressed very oddly, in Chinese clothing.] * Mei-Yin pulls out a notepad and begins writing furiously. * Eoi looks at the girls. * Shigeru chuckles. Sometimes he turns into a girl, too. Everyone. He's Ranma? Hmm? Nah, it's pretty much random. * Chelsea rolls her eyes. * Shigeru blinks at the girls. Yes, I'm Ranma. Just wait until Ryoga arrives, then we have lots of fun. * Chelsea smirks. Looks like Shampoo and Cologne just arrived. ... * Miyu looks up at the 2 girls who just entered ( Who here speaks Chinese? :P ) ( I do! ) * Eoi looks at the two girls curiously. (I do not. ^_^) * Hikaru blinks and looks at the two girls. ( Oh good. You're the only one, too. Makes things easier for me. ) ( Chiwhat? ) ( I'm learning in school! Sadly, Eoi isn't. ((_^ ) [The girls look around the place, then start speaking in a language most of you don't recognize.] (I speak it.) ... Anyone understand them? (... we wouldn't understand it, but I think we'd recognize that it was Chinese. ^^; ) ( It's not listed on your sheet, Chel. ) ( Bad Chel, you're supposed to ignore me, not the GM. ) ( ^_^ ) ( Well, in some odd fluke, you don't, Miyu :P ) ( ... I don't speak Chinese IRL, but I recognize that osmething is Chinese when it's being spoken. ) (Miyu, let it go.) ( Ah well. ) ( What a pity that Miyu isn't you, huh? ) ( I know. I'm just saying that you can recognize a language without speaking it. ^^;;; ) ( Miyu. Enough! ) ( I mean, most of you guys would recognize Spanish without knowing hte language, right? ^^; ) ( DROP IT. ) ( Enough, Dem. ) *** DH-0WAY has quit IRC (Quit: "Please, be my daddy." ) ( Fine, fine. x.x ) Um... they're supposed to be setting something up. And I think they just realized that you're the ones they're looking for. * Miyu blinks. Any idea what? *** AnotherKirbyJustInCase is now known as GirlInRedAndWhite They didn't say. * Chelsea listens to them and grins. *** Kirby is now known as GirlInWhiteAndRed *** Shigeru has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) [Pause] I think we might have caught these two off guard. Lucky us. ( Lucky us. ((_@ ) *blink* ( She's on her way back. ) ( Shiggy disconnected ) *** Shigeru has joined #besm (Gah.) ( /me prays one of them doesn't have a death warrant on Eoi. "Ra.. I mean Eoi! You die!" ) ( Once Shig's updated, we shall continue. ) ( Oh, you're gonna love this ^_^ ) ( Oh man. ) ( I'm afk for a sec, guys. ) ( As long as it doesn't involove spontaneous duels to the death... ((.~ ) ( But those are the best kind ;_; ) ( We should have a duel to whoever bleeds first sometime. ) ( I forgot what those were called, though ) ( I'm back. ) ( First blood, Miyu. ) ( Gee, maybe First Blood Demota? ) [Unpause] * Chelsea speaks to the two girls in Chinese. ( Ah ) * GirlInRedAndWhite seems a bit surprised that Chelsea speaks her language. * Eoi listens intently, despite the fact he doesn't understand a word of it. * Shigeru glances around. * Norii waits patiently. (Not *everyone* in the world has to be out for our blood, right?) ( Wanna bet? ) Hmm... ( Nah. Not EVERYONE... ) (No. They could just be out for one person's blood in particular. ^_^) ( Yuki hasn't attacked you yet. ) ( If this were the old Miyu, and had half a level in Chinese, she could try saying something and have it come out sounding really silly ) (Yet. Yet.) These are the ones looking for us, guys. Shall I be polite and tell them we're here? Yeah. * Shigeru shrugs. "No point in saying we're not." [The two look pretty similar, by the way, except RandW's hair is short and WandR's falls to her knees] * Chelsea ChineseSpeaks, saying <... Damn. Lei, hurry up!> [The two dash out the door of the dojo. ] ... ...uh... * Shigeru blinks. .. Oh hell. Let's run after them. * Chelsea smirks. "Our enemies flee our presence. That's a nice change of pace." Right? [Outside, one sticks a ward on the front gate, then they run off to either side] How do we even know they're our enemies? * Eoi blinks at the ward, apprasing it. * Miyu blinks. Not bad. Good point, Shig. [Eoi is way too far to be able to read it.] * Eoi walks towards the ward then. [And it's in Chinese anyhow.] * Chelsea walks up to the ward and considers it. * Eoi looks at the ward anyway. * Norii trots out to see what's going on. So uh. Interesting. Yeah. * Hikaru walks over. [The ward has an unfamiliar symbol on it, even to Chelsea] * Miyu grumbles... So, what's the danger today? [From the roof of the dojo, someone clears their voice] * Chelsea raises an eyebrow. "Curious." Well, this is a spirit ward. Meaning it's intended to seal, if it's anything like mine, supernatu.. hello? * Eoi looks at the roof. * Shigeru walks out of the dojo. "What is it?" * Hikaru looks up. * Norii looooooks up. Ahem... Mystery Club! We have come to avenge our cousin! Huh? * Chelsea blinks. "Your cousin?" * Miyu blinks. Wha? ( Oh dear goddess, they're like Amelia. ) ... Their cousin.. * GirlInWhiteAndRed mumbles. ... Oh god. Uh... who? (Oh, man. TELL me they're not related to Quing! x.x) * GirlInWhiteAndRed sighs. Let's see here. Quing or That other fellow. * Shigeru frowns slightly and concentrates on the girls. * Chelsea represses the urge to giggle. You know, the one who showed up. L.. L.. whatever the hell is name was. We... um... we will not let you... uh... Leiu? Yeah, him. * GirlInWhiteAndRed turns to the other. Who? ... Listen, we don't feel like hearing a speech. Before your time Hikaru. Ah. I don't believe I met him. Just tell us exactly WHICH person you intend to "Extract revenge" for. So we can clear up this mess and go home. You are about to face the wrath of the twin dragons of the Tsu clan! OY! Twin Dragons. How about you tell WHY we are facing the wrath first. * Chelsea blinks. * Hikaru holds his head. * Miyu blinks. Oy? Oi? Master of fire and all styles of Kung-fu... They're not very good at this whole powerposing and speeches thing... Do you know many people who are? * GirlInRedAndWhite leaps, flipping around in midair and landing in an ultra- cool crouch. "Meifang Tsu." * Eoi rolls his eyes. i think they're new to it, Mei. ...idiots. Look... we don't want to fight. Let's just talk or something... ... Listen, we don't want to hear your stupid speech. A-A-And master of blades and lightning... Er... not lighting yet... uh... Just tell us why exactly you want revenge please. Oh, come on, guys. At least let 'em finish. It'll be entertaining. Because I'm quite tired, and am seriously not in the mood for this. * GirlInWhiteAndRed leaps and tries to flip around, landing on her face. "Lei- ow!" * Eoi claps. * Shigeru calls up, "Hey! Are you all right?" Not if they try to fight us after, Chelsea. * Chelsea shakes her head. ... I get so tired of all teh fighting... Wonderful Amelia. Now, how about you tell us exactly why you want to beat us into a bloody pulp. * Norii buries her face in her hands, trying not to laugh. * Shigeru blinks, then snickers. ...this is pathetic. *** GirlInRedAndWhite is now known as Mei-Fang * Chelsea resists the urge to ask if they'd like to try it again before continuing. Silence! I and my sister Lei-Fang shall defeat you and regain our clan's honor! *** GirlInWhiteAndRed is now known as Lei-Fang For WHAT? * Lei-Fang gets up. "Uhh... Yeah!" Why exactly do you need to regain you clan's honor? What honor is there in fighting someone who doesn't even know what's going ON? I'd REALLY like to know why I'm going to have to fight. * Lei-Fang turns to Mei-Fang and says in Chinese I'm not fighting you until you tell me WHY. * Miyu holds her head... * Mei-Fang dramatically points. "Because you are responsible for Quing Tsu's death!" ... Will you two just LISTEN?! Uh, no. Who? ( Init time ) ... no, we weren't. The giant Kappa is. He... d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Shigeru (d6+6) and gets 8. HEY! WAIT A MINUTE! d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Eoi (d6+7) and gets 12. * Chelsea blinks. "Who who?" * Shigeru shrugs. d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Hikaru (d6+6) and gets 10. d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Miyu (d6+6) and gets 7. We didn't kill Quing~ ...you called it. Chel. He died fighting a giant Kappa! And who are you holding hostage?! d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Norii (d6+7) and gets 10. 2d+7 A sided die, how very clever, you son of a bot. We fought on the same side... If you want to "avenge" your finally's honor, go fight the Kappa that Vicki kept as a pet! d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chelsea (d6+7) and gets 11. We don't have time for this. We never wanted any harm to come to Quing. Actually, Eoi, that's a different Kappa. OK? So just GO AWAY! I know. ...Vicki has a pet Kappa? * Chelsea draws her dagger, if she still can. ( Oi. ) It's a member of the same family. Quing and the giant Kappa slew each other in their final blow. ( Oi, guys. ) ( I'm trying to do init here. Shaddap ) [Mei-Fang, Eoi, Chelsea, Hikaru/Lei-Fang/Norii, Shigeru, Mei-Yin] [Mei-Fang's turn] ( What about me? ) [Mei-Fang, Eoi, Chelsea, Hikaru/Lei-Fang/Norii, Shigeru, Miyu, Mei-Yin] [Mei-Fang's turn] * Mei-Fang pulls out twin fans and charges at Eoi. "Prepare to taste justice!" Oy. We didn't kill Quing lady. Why do you want us dead? * Eoi tries to dodge. [Eoi blocks one fan and gets smacked upside the head by another. It hurts a lot more than you might expect paper fans to.] Ow! Son of a gun! [Eoi's turn] Guys, just try to knock them out! Hehheh. My skill impresses you, I see. * Eoi swings his Naginata, not attempting to kill but to bludgon. No. Just annoys me. We didn't kill Quing. So WHY THE HELL do you want to fight. * Mei-Fang does a backflip, dodging out of the way. "There's no use in talking!" [Chelsea's turn] So.. you are so dense that you'd rather kill someone innocent then listen to reason? * Chelsea casts My Magic Shield. Idiots. [Chelsea is shielded] [Hikaru's turn] * Hikaru attempts to punch Mei-Fang in the head. ( How many people does Chelsea's shield cover, anyway? ) ( Oh ) * Mei-Fang blocks Hikaru's fist. ... [Lei-fang's turn] I'll get him, sis! * Lei-Fang pulls out a familiar (to some of you) katana and runs at Hikaru. She winds up tripping on a rock and falling flat on her face at his feet. Owwwwww... [Norii's turn] * Hikaru sweatdrops. * Norii pulls out the pistol, [Shig's turn] Hey, come ON, guys, it wasn't our fault! * Shigeru decides that getting out of everyone's way is good, since, well, he has no idea what's going on. So he does that. [Miyu's turn] * Miyu closes her eyes, then a blue dome forms around all allies. * Miyu opens them. Shields are online! * Shigeru facepalms. ( Make it so. ) ( Geez. It took over 20 sessions, but I FINALLY remembered MIyu's shield phrase ) [Mei's turn] [Mei-Yin's turn, rather] * Mei-Yin backs away from all the fighting and begins furiously taking notes. [Mei-Fang's turn] Now, witness the power of my flames! * Mei-Fang waves a fan at the group, sending a wave of fire at them. Excepting Shig and Mei-Yin, who are out of the way. Wah! ( Mei-Fang is Tasuki? ) ( ... Well, that doesn't bode well @_@ ) * Miyu attempts to defend, as usual * Eoi is obviously trying to defend. * Hikaru tries to dodge. ( Duh. ) [The flames cause all the shields to shatter. Everyone but Chelsea (and Shig and Mei-Yin, obviously) suffer minor burns] Ghh... My hair! Brat... * Chelsea smiles. "Not bad." Dammit.............. WHY WON'T YOU FUCKING LISTEN?! * Mei-Fang giggles. "Hmm hmm. My power is overwhelming. [Eoi's turn] EVERY DAY, WE'RE RISKING OUR GODDAMN LIVES TO HELP PEOPLE! >_< ( Miyu's FLIPPED! ) ... ( Holy shit. ) * Eoi growls. Ok. I've had enough of this. This fight doesn't even have a point......... Calvin, and Quing, and Miyuki, and Andrew... * Eoi swings at the flame-sister again, trying to knock her out. (That's okay. Everyone needs to flip sometime. It's like pancakes!) You know, I'm three seconds away from actually trying to kill you. (*chuckles*) I've had a VERY bad week. So just go away. Please. I.. just can't deal with this today. [Eoi's attack connects, but doesn't knock her out.] And then YOU GUYS come here.... Ow! [Chelsea's turn] * Eoi growls. Please, just leave.' Vicki got left behind in the fight, I was unconcious, Calvin was badly wounded... I'm not having a good day, and I really don't need your annoying behind bothering me. * Chelsea tries to clock her with the pommel of her dagger (which looks like Kirby! Wai!). * Miyu starts to sob as the memories come back... (That'd be Mei-Fang.) [Chelsea succeeds, and Mei-Fang falls onto her back with little stars rotating around her head. (No, not literally.) ] [Hikaru's turn] * Chelsea sighs. * Hikaru attempts to pin Lei-Fang to the ground. "Give up." ( Pinning takes two rounds :P ) ( You have to grab first. ) (... you sure you want LEI Fang? ) (He could tackle her.) (That's one round. ^^) ( Still needs another to do the pin. ) * Hikaru attempts to GRAB Lei then. [Hikaru succeeds] Give up, already. [Lei-Fang's turn] Waaaaah! Leggo! Not until you give up! We don't want to fight you! * Lei-Fang flails frantically, and winds up accidently kneeing Hikaru where it hurts. URK. ( *wince* ) [Norii's turn] * Hikaru falls over. ( Ouch. ) ( Poor Hikaru. ((_@ ) * Shigeru winces. @_@ * Mei-Yin winces in sympathy. * Eoi winces ( Geez ) It'snotmyfaultIdidn'twannadoitsismademeit'snotfairwaaaaaaaaaaah! * Chelsea blinks. * Shigeru rubs at his forehead. Come on, kid, just calm down and let us explain what happened. ( Total defense ) [Shiggy's turn] Kid. We don't want to fight. Just give up. * Shigeru shakes his head, wondering why he doesn't always have kleenex on hand. It comes in handy often enough. (Yes, that is my turn. Go, go. :P) [Miyu's turn] I mean it... what hte hell do you think we are? ... Quing was our friend. One of our BEST friends. He chose his end. [Mei-Yin's turn] We had an alternative, but he chose to sacrifice his life. * Mei-Yin continues furiously scribbling notes and diagrams. ... maybe he WANTED it.... I don't know. [Mei-Fang's turn] Oroooooooooooo.... * Miyu is on total defense while talking, BTW. ^^; [Eoi's turn] ... she seems... disabled. Someone take her weapons and restrain her. Uh.. Alright. * Eoi moves over to Mei-Fang and takes her fans. ( Too bad she has more, in places that you are _not_ going to search. ^_^ ) [Chelsea's turn] (Unless you want your butt kicked, of course.) ( No, she's not Mai :P ) ( MIyu was going to check her for more on her next turn. :P ) ( She just has nifty magic skills :P ) * Chelsea turns to Lei-Fang. "Okay. You still wanna fight, or shall we sit down and discuss this calmly?" (Or did I miss something that would answer that for me?) [Hikaru's turn] * Hikaru moans. ( That seems about right to me. ) (/me holds herself answered, I guess.) * Lei-Fang stands there and cries. (Gonna assume combat is over) (Wai!) ... ... The flames... Uh.. Listen, miss.. Lei-Fang was it? just to be safe. * Miyu walks up to Mei-Fang. We didn't kill Quing. * Miyu places her hand on her cheek, then drains once Hey! Leave sis alone! * Shigeru blinks at Miyu. * Lei-Fang swings at Miyu MIYU! Hey! What do you think you're doing? This is just to be safe, sorry. What the HELL are you doing? ( And combat is NOT over. ) ( ...holy shit. ) ( GAAAAAAAAAH! >_<) * Lei-Fang Cuts Miyu across the back. FINE, I"LL STOP. Geez. MIYU. What the HELL did you just try to do? * Miyu holds her back... [Norii's turn] ... I just wanted to make sure she didn't attack us the instant she regained her senses. S-s-shigeru... is she always like this? * Miyu looks down... .... That's ... AWFUL. I.... can't take it anymore. Good grief! She was DOWN. We can't overlook ANYTHING. You know, I don't know. I've only known her for, what? A few days? That was WRONG Miyu. That's something a VAMPIRE would do. * Norii puts her gun away. ..... you're right. ... I apologize. Hey! I would not!... Probably.... Maybe? ... Apologize nothing. You were going to do something hideous. * Norii facepalms. * Chelsea shakes her head. * Lei-Fang sniffs. I guess I'll apply my healing now, to try to make up for this... W.. without so much as a second thought. And we are trying to prove we are the GOOD guys here. ... if it's alright with the rest of you. Sorry. It's just that I... * Shigeru glares at Miyu. "Okay. Heal her." That would be for the best. .... sorry... * Miyu starts to apply healing... ... Mei Fang? Can you hear me? * Mei-Fang sits up, her eyes snap open. * Chelsea walks over to Lei-Fang, and speaks to her in Chinese. * Miyu looks at Mei-Fang. Session Time: Sun Dec 09 00:00:00 2001 * Mei-Fang realizes what happened and leaps to her feet. * Miyu looks sad and stuff. And tired. Listen, Mei-Fang. * Hikaru slowly pulls himself up to a sitting position. We didn't kill Quing. Ugh. Fine, you wint this round, Mystery Club! But we'll be back! Please don't start this battle again. NO. Don't be back! ... Stop RIGHT now. Wait! * Mei-Fang runs off. "C'mon Leifang!" Let's SETTLE this. ... Lei Fang. ... just please. Wow, they're just like something out of a manga. .... * Lei-Fang follows. "Ah! Sis! Wait!" Let talking have a chance... I think that's where their inspiration came from. We did not kill Quing. * Lei-Fang trips and falls near the door. "ow!" ... ....................................................................... * Miyu helps Lei up. * Lei-Fang gets up and keeps following. Well, yet ANOTHER fucking problem. *** Lei-Fang has quit IRC (Quit: ) Wonderful. *** Mei-Fang has quit IRC (Quit: ) ... * Chelsea sighs. "Glee." there's no point...... As problems go, they're not so bad. not a single, damn point.... * Eoi glares at Miyu. "And if I ever see you try that again..." * Shigeru looks over at Miyu. "And what the hell was that all about?" EVER. I will do something about it myself. She was confused, but not unconcious. What, huh? What did Miyu do? I was trying to deplete her energy so that she couldn't toss that fire at us again. It looked like what Kaira used on Calvin, back when. * Norii is just plain disgusted. Goddammit. ... * Shigeru shudders. ... The same attack that Kaira used to kill Calvin. * Mei-Yin scribbles on the paper, muttering to herself. "Miyu... energy vampire..." * Miyu closes her eyes, then sinks to the floor... * Hikaru looks shocked. And Miyu was going to use it on a defeated enemy. I.. Can't believe her. i've failed you, Calvin... Guys, calm down. She made a mistake, that's all. * Chelsea gives Shigeru an eloquent look. A mistake. But it shows she could make another. (Eloquent how? :P) * Miyu is lying on her back, looking at the ceiling now... What is she gets angry? Or if she drains too much from someone? ( Does she have a DAT player? ) ... worthless... that's all I am... [Miyu fails to see the ceiling, because she's outside] She's like a vampire. Except at least the vampires need it to survive. Shut up, Eoi. I can't protect anyone... ...Eoi, CAN IT. She is not like that at all. If that happens, Eoi, then she's no better than me. We get the point. I just wanted to save them from the fire... That's right! That's why we do it, yup! Wha? ... * Mei-Yin looks back and forth between different members. Miyu. I understand why you did it but.. Don't do it again. ... Well, it's true. She's a sweet girl who gets very wrapped up in things and doesn't always think through to consequences. Please. It's just wrong. It's really wrong. No better than... ... I just wanted to keep the fire away... * Chelsea sighs and rubs her temples. * Miyu pulls up her shirt a bit, showing a fairly NASTY burn. I know Miyu. But .. that's not how you do it. Never like that. * Shigeru decides that sitting down is good right about now, so he does that. * Norii walks over and offers Miyu a hand. ( How odd, since I said that the group only suffered minor burns. ) ( Oh ) It's okay, just don't do it again. ( Never mind, then ) ... it went right through the shield. ONe more, and every last one of us would be dead. We know Miyu. But... it doesn't matter. I'd rather you let me die then do something foul like that. * Shigeru puts his head in his hands and squeezes his eyes shut. Uh... Wait a sec! Miyu...please just don't ever use that technique again. * Mei-Yin sits down next to Shigeru. ... I... need to develop a new version of that technique. Something that only drains energy without taking health... * Chelsea goes and sits next to Shigeru. It would be perfect for just plain knockouts... Are you okay? I don't think I am. Not really. ... I've used it before, but nobody objected... ( Enough angsting. I'm out of here. ) Calvin let me use it on him, to keep me alive... then I used it on Vicki, who was unhurt...... I used the energy to heal Calvin... *** Norii is now known as Ked * Chelsea sighs. "I'm all for leaving. How 'bout you guys?" ...yeah, let's go home. ( Sorry, my time is up. ) ... so there was nobody being held hostage at all. *** Ked has quit IRC (Quit: Sign up for Steam Phoenix! ) ( It's about done. ) ( er... ) ... ( Well, shall we stop or continue? ) * Miyu slowly stands up... Please don't do it again Miyu. At.. *sigh* at least not to an un-willing person. ( We can finish this at least. ) (I'm for continuing, if you want.) ( COntinue ) (I'm good for continuing.) Sorry... but it was all that I could think of. ( Continue. ) What's wrong, Shigeru? Did you get hurt by the fire? I didn't think it got that far back... * Mei-Yin checks Shigeru frantically for burns. Shiggy? You ok? * Shigeru opens his eyes and studies the grass. "Life just sucks, y'know?" he says quietly, so just Mei-Yin and Chelsea can hear. I mean, she had magic.. the only way to stop that is to get rid of the mana or whatever it is powering it.... Did Shiggy get hit? I don't think Shigeru got hit. Oh. Must be what he was thinkin' bout before. * Chelsea nods in agreement. Poor Shiggy. I wonder what's upsetting him. * Mei-Yin grabs Shigeru in a big hug, transmitting her thoughs without realizing it.. ~Yeah, I know...~ * Eoi looks back at Hikaru. "uh.. You ok? ^_^;" Yeah. Nothing permanent. -_- I mean, it's partially my fault Andrew got killed. And I'm... I don't know *what* I am. I'm a clone, or a weapon, or something... I got angry at Miyu, even though I've done worse. So... so. * Shigeru blinks, then hesitantly hugs Mei-Yin back. * Eoi walks over to Shiggy. "Uh... You OK Shiggy?" ( Shig is Kirby incarnate. ) ( Howso? ) * Shigeru looks up at Eoi. "Do I *look* okay?" (I eat things?) * Chelsea sighs. ( One of life's great mysteries. ) No. ( We are all Kirby ) You're you, and that's all that matters. ( Nah. Just Shig. ) ( I _am_ Kirby. ) * Shigeru laughs bitterly. "I don't think so." ... What do you mean? What do you mean, what do I mean? .. You know, trying to understand a conversation I just walked in on is confusing. I'll just walk over here. Sorry to bother you. * Eoi wanders away from the conversation .... I'm sorry, Eoi.. * Shigeru blinks. "No, wai- shit." ./me blinks * Eoi goes and checks to see if the spirit ward is still there. [It sure is] ... is that thing safe to touch? * Shigeru sighs and tangles his fingers in the grass. Uh, for you? I wouldn't risk it. Why would I be different? This thing MIGHT be different from mine. Because you're a supernatural. And don't give me that "I'm a human" bull. ( 'Cause it's Chinese :P ) ... * Eoi looks at the ward, and tries pulling it off. *** Charles has joined #BESM [Eoi is greeted with an electric jolt. *bzzzt*] * Hikaru groans and stands up. Waa! ... * Eoi ponders how best to break this. Safe for you, huh? Shut UP Miyu. ... * Eoi tries sticking one of his own wards on it. Might as well see what happens. Nothing seems to happen. ... whatever. * Chelsea stands. "I'm heading home." She turns to Shigeru and Mei-Yin. "You guys wanna come?" * Eoi just tries walking out the front gate. [Eoi walks into an invisible wall] * Mei-Yin looks at Shigeru. Ow! * Shigeru shrugs. "I guess." He stands. Hmph. ( it's Kimiko's fault! ) * Miyu holds out her hand. * Eoi tries to force his way through the wall. * Mei-Yin stands up and walks alongside Shigeru. * Chelsea nods, and heads t'wards the gate. * Shigeru looks over at Eoi and Miyu. .... too firmly attached. What are you guys doing? [Eoi struggles and can't seem to do it] The ward. ( You know, these wards ARE supposed to be breakable. ) It's keeping you out? ( Normal wards are. ) Yep. Yep. * Chelsea frowns. * Hikaru walks over. ( ... Jeez, I can't even have good wards. ((_- ) Shigeru, can you bend spoons or do anything telekinetic? * Shigeru frowns slightly, then walks over and tries to put his hand through the doorway. [Shigeru's hand fits through.] (Oy, Eoi. You don't want to know how many times I've been blocked from mind reading. :P) ( Heh ) ... * Mei-Yin tries to stick her hand through, too. ( ... I HATE having this god-damned Vampire in me. ) * Chelsea tries to reach her hand through as well. * Shigeru blinks. "Huh. You give it a try, Miyu." ... alright. [Mei-Yin and Chelsea succeed.] * Miyu tries ...what are you guys doing? * Mei-Yin blinkblinks. ... [Miyu hits an invisible wall] I don't get it. You know what. I give up. * Shigeru considers. ... This damn ward is reacting to the vampire in me. And I can't get it off. Miyu, Eoi. You guys knew Quing, right? I... can't go through YEah. Yeah. * Mei-Yin checks the ward to see what it says. * Shigeru nods. "I think that's why. I never met 'im, much less worked with him." * Chelsea nods. * Hikaru looks confused, and tries to walk through the doorway. Well, Let's see how Hikaru reacts. (And here's the deciding factor.) [Hikaru walks into an invisible wall] Nope. It's reacting to supernaturals. ...the heck is this? * Shigeru blinks. "O-kay." Son of a.. It's a ward. * Mei-Yin peers at the ward. This isn't a real character. It's reacting to the supernaturals. It's like my wards, only stronger. * Shigeru snickers. "I guess I'm not a supernatural, then." Shigeru, do you have any telekinetic abilities? I'm not either. It's reacting to Kimiko. * Mei-Yin reaches up and tries to pull the ward off. ( Of course, there's a ward on the ward... ) I can make pennies float, if that's what you mean. [Mei-Yin is greeted with an electric jolt *BZZZZT* ] Ow! * Mei-Yin jerks her hand back. If Mei can't take that thing off, let's try using telekinesis in unison to rip it off. Yeah, I tried that already. * Hikaru pops his claws out. "Lemme blast it." Alright? * Mei-Yin shakes her hand to get the feeling back. No fair! ;_; * Shigeru shrugs. "Worth a try, I s'pose." Why do you priest people invent stupid things like this? * Hikaru throws a volley of energy blades at the ward. To stop vampires. And other supernatural creatures of course. And ghosts. And zombies. And Smorfys. [Hikaru's blasts shred the ward in half] ... * Miyu blinks. * Hikaru grins. * Eoi tries to get through the wall now. Okay. Problem solved. ::continues walking:: [Eoi succeeds.] * Miyu tries to pick up the remains of the ward * Hikaru 's claws retract, and he walks out. [The man is outside.] ( The Man? ) "Oh, hi! Enjoy the tour?" There we go. Let's go somewhere else no- hey, isn't that your friend, Chelsea? ( TicketGuy ) * Shigeru blinks. "Ah. Never mind." * Miyu goes back outside after having picked up the ward. Sure did. Almost died, but it was quite fun. * Miyu blinks Yeah... the tour was fun. [Miyu gets scrap of paper x 2] ( Yay ) * Hikaru shrugs at the man. "Glad to hear it. Come again ^_^" Thanks... ... alright, let's get back to the club room, then continue where we were interrupted. Works for me Eh? [Time: 3:00 P.M.] Mei-Yin. Don't tell me you guys forgot about her ALREADY... No. * Shigeru glances at his watch. "Why not. And no, I didn't. She's right next to me." Alright... Hey, guys. If we get another phonecall... Should we just ignore it? Where were we before the phone call interrupted us? Nah. Might be Nakamura. In which case we can curse him out and demand he get his ass over here. [Meanwhile, Nakamura is calling the club, and nobody's there to answer] Works fior me. Works for me even. Anyway, Let's get back. (Darnit! :P) * Miyu is already heading back to the club room ( ^_^ ) * Eoi starts the long trek back. Does anyone have Nakamura's contact information? * Hikaru heads back. * Shigeru starts the not-so-long trek back. [30 minutes later, lo, they're back] We might be able to ask him about Mei's problem "Somewhere in England" Thank you, come again. (Heck, I walk fourty-five minutes to get anywhere in De Kalb. Yay!) ... geez Shigeru... how come Eoi doesn't take the bus? * Chelsea checks her cel phone to see if it got any calls. ( 25 to go important places in Philly. ) ( Lucky. Although Philly's mass transit system is quite efficent. ) * Shigeru shrugs. "I don't know. He mentioned something about thinking cars are deathtraps once... might just not trust 'em." ( If hideously expensive. ) ( Yeah. 'S why I walk everywhere :P ) I think that Eoi's like Mr. T. and planes [Chelsea did indeed get a call.] * Eoi blinks at Miyu's obscue american pop culture reference. ( obscure even. ) * Shigeru sits in his usual chair and sets his laptop case on his lap, then just sort of eyes it. * Chelsea calls the caller. [The phone rings] "Isn't English cool?" [Miyu takes 5 damage for the AYB ref] ( ... Kill Miyu now. ) ( Thank you. ) [The phone continues to ring] * Miyu winces. * Hikaru gives Miyu a look. "That wasn't very good english." ... Eoi, you always handle the phone. Answer it? ... ( Chelsea is calling. We're not being called. :P ) (... oh. ^^; ) ( Never mind, then ) ( The MC phone is ringing :P ) ( It is ) ( ? ) * Eoi answers the phone then Hello? ...Well. That's interesting. ... I think it's safe to hang up, Eoi. Hi Chelsea! * Eoi hands up. * Chelsea chuckles. Yes, I figured that. * Chelsea hangs up. "Well." ... So.. someone called you.. from here? ... Nakamura? Yup. The guy in robes, and I wouldn't put it past him to be Nakamura, but I somehow doubt that. Nakamura! ... Nakamura wants to date you? [There's a knock on the door.] That would be far too strange, Eoi. ... That would explain the robes. * Eoi answers the door. ...Nakamura isn't THAT freaky, is he? [And who else is behind it but...] I dunno ) *** RobedGuy has joined #besm Hi Xelloss. How you doin'? * Mei-Yin blinkblinks. Xelloss? * RobedGuy waves. "Hi! I just wanted to use your ph- oh, Chelsea's hear already." Hey, I hardly knew the guy. Hi, O Robed One. * Shigeru looks over at the RobedGuy. "Hey, any word from Nakamura?" Hm? No, I haven't heard from him in a while. * Hikaru blinks at him. Not since I came to Japan. ... So, what horrible death are you sending us to this time? * Miyu blinks. Anyhow... What do you say, Chelsea? Shall we see that movie? Hrm. Okay. Mind giving us your name, by the way? Sure. I could use something to prevent me from thinking for a while. Wonderful! * Eoi whispers to Chel. "Try to get him to take off his hood. Just in case it is Nakamura. If it his, punch him in the face for me." * Mei-Yin smiles at Chelsea and the robed guy. Well, shall we? One sec, please. Okay. * RobedGuy waits patiently. * Chelsea walks over to Shigeru, and places her hand on his head. ~There's something I need to talk to you about later. Until then I'll trust you to keep them from picking Mei-Yin too much. See ya.~ * Chelsea lets go of Shig, waves, and departs with He of the Robes. * RobedGuy departs with Chelsea ^_^_v *** RobedGuy is now known as Kirby Bai, Chelsea. ..... alright, so where were we? * Shigeru calls after them after they're out of earshot. "Have fun, Chelsea! Don't break his heart too badly!" ( Robedguy WAS Kirby! I knew it! ) I think we were about to go our for pizza and discuss Mei-Yin's problem some more! I remember Mei-Yin, but not the pizza Isn't it a little early for pizza, Eoi? It's never too early for pizza. ^_^ That's strange. I figured you'd forget me and remember the pizza. Yes... * Hikaru smiles a little. "Pizza is your solution to everything, Eoi." Yes. Yes it is. Lost a friend? Order a pizza. Evil demons from hell about to break through and invade earth? Well then, you've got to go to the parlor. Why have pizza, though? Alright, shall we depart? Mei: Why not? There are much better foods. Pizza is good I could cook... it'd be a little cramped at my place, but the food would be better. Ah True. but whenever we go out for pizza, something happens. I'm hoping it'll have some effect on your problem. ( /me POWERSNERKS. ) Besides, I really like pizza. ^_^ Heh (*snickers*) ( Need to advance the plot? Go get some pizza. ) ( I like naginatas. I like pizza.) ( The best way to advance the plot is to try to slow it down? ) Yeah, but it isn't always something significant. I mean, one time all it got was you getting hit by a can of pop. No, actually, we'll probably just get demons jumping at us from the shadows if we do that. ( What do you mean? I don't have anything else planned :P ) Yes, but that can of pop was thrown by a vampire. ( Though I guess I can rig up a wandering monster... ) Besides, worst comes to worst we get a nice relaxing night out. ... Did I say worst? ( Brett: How about a Wandering Monster Table? ) Yes. Yes, you did. Oy, I've been doing this for too long. I say we go to Mei's place, and if you really want pizza *that* badly, maybe you can bribe her to make you one. Oh, that's great. Yeah... the BEST thing that could happen. ^_^; * Mei-Yin scribbles that down in her notebook. ( Zombie, zombie, zombie, zombie, skeleton!, zombie.... ) ( No table necessary ^_^ ) Hey, that sounds like a good idea. Ohh! Would you make pizza Mei? That's a _great_ line, I've got to use it in the story. * Miyu blinks. Story? ( I was referenceing Slayers Demiurge, Brett. ^_^;;; ) ( Nonono, the Wandering Monster Table. From...yeah, what ND said. ) ( Yay! Table-chan! ) Ehheheheh... I through the Corke ^_^ ( Table-chan! ) ( Table-chan! Use tackle attack! ) I hit him real good, too! ... ;_;. I'm gonna write a book! Maybe a whole series! With Corke, was it? ( Blargh. I'll just send the evilpants at you :P ) On us? Cool! It I'll be famous, and rich, and everybody will know my name! It'll be a best seller. Althought nobody'll believe it. * Shigeru laughs. "Go for it. Just remember to change the names and all, and wait until we get whatever government conspiracies out of the way, so they don't hunt you down in cold blood." Works for me. Just don't forget us little guys after you become rich and famous. * Hikaru laughs. Could be dangerous... but fun ... Hey Mei. How long have you been following us? And then I'll get them to make a movie! Yeah, all the special effects. Flames and explosions and bullets flying everywhere! ... * Eoi moves away from Mei-Yin. o.o; Uh. There .. really are not too many bullets. I mean, Norii uses a gun.. but.. ( Any time you guys wanna end, we can :P ) and It's been a while since we've had a person who uses flames. It'll be great! I'll get them to cast you guys as yourselves! What about Calvin and them? What are you talking about? Somebody just torched us an hour ago. Well... hmmm... That's a little harder. True. That was an isolated incident. I suppose we could CG them in... if we had some pictures. That won't happen again for another.. 3 days. ( Isolated? Naaaaahhh... ) And the boat blew up not that long ago... Well true. The boat did blow up quite nice. * Shigeru winces at that. ... uh.. Mei. Were you with us then? Hmmm, I might have to add another major... That's a lot of work. How long have you been folloing us again? Hmmm? Not long, not long. Ah good. Then we have some stories to tell you! Actually, last night was the first time I followed you all. Usually I just watched Shigeru. Let's go to your place, you make a pizza, we sit around and discuss your problem and tell you about some of our older adve.. * Mei-Yin blushes a little. * Eoi blinks. Just S.. Oh my. ^_^ Ah. * Shigeru tries to disappear into his seat. It doesn't work too well. What attracted you to him, anyway? Looks like someone has a not-so-secret admirer Shiggy. (Darn, I knew I should've gotten Meld!) Probably the fact that he doesn't forget her. * Mei-Yin nodnods. Ah... Aww. You two should go on a double date with Chelsea and Xelloss. ^_^ I wish Calvin were still here.... And watch me grind her stiletto heel into his still-beating heart? (Watch her, even.) heh Shig: Yes. Can I come along? I really want to see Xelloss get what his secret-keeping ass deserves. * Shigeru snickers. She's absolutely ruthless. Anyway, want to get going? Sounds groovy. Okay. Alright. We'll have to take the bus, though. I guess I'll go anyway. Uh... T.. the bus? Uh, just gimme the address. I'll walk. The bus. It's too far to walk. ... Uh, I can use the exercise. *** Kirby is now known as RobedGuy You wouldn't get there for hours. Don't care. ... * Shigeru blinks. Well, if you want something fast, and not a bus... Eoi? What's wrong? * Miyu grabs Eoi, then starts to float a bit into the air. How about air travel? Nothing. Just not riding in one of those deathtraaa.. * Mei-Yin goggles at Miyu. O_O ... Uh, sure. OK. Works for me. ^_^ (Okay. Subway? Train?) Whee! * Miyu spins a bit I really need to get a new motorcycle. ... actually, I was joking. * Miyu rests to the ground. ... oh. * Shigeru nods. "C'mon, Mei, we'll take the bus." He stands. I'd be spotted. Then the guys come with their guns Okay! Uh.. darn. i guess I'll go and get pizza by myself or somethin.. * Mei-Yin grabs Shigeru's arm. Oh, and yeah, Miyu can fly. Everyone's got something weird abou- um. * Eoi grumbles about needing a new motorcycle. Why do you keep doing that? I mean, I know why, but... Come on, Eoi, you won't get Pizza made by Mei-san otherwise. Just give me the address. I'll eat it reheated. I'm NOT riding in one of those.. things. Come *on*, Eoi. It's just the bus. We take them all the time. You don't want me to touch you? * Hikaru sighs. What bout a train? * Eoi shakes his head. "No" * Shigeru blinks at Mei. "Um, no. I didn't mean it like that." ~Shigeru! Can you hear me?~ Uh.. I .. donno. Don't like them much either, but at least they are better then buses. * Shigeru thinks back, ~Yeah. ... You're a telepath?~ ~... no~ ( This is new. ((_@ ) ~I guess you just picked up my loud thought~ ~Then you must be thinking *really* hard, because I wasn't trying to- yeah. What is it?~ ~If Eoi's knocked out, he won't know how he got to her house!~ ( Erm... ) * Shigeru blinks. * Shigeru cracks up. ( Shig needs to be looking for the loudest thought to get it. ) (... oh ) ( I thought itw as automatic ) ( Wow, this new Miyu scares me. ) ( Ah, never mind. * Miyu (retroactively adds a line. ( It's only automatic when you touch him. ) (I'm for considering it a fluke. No, if it's automatic, you'll *know*. Trust me.) Well, I'm going to have to save up money for a while.. maybe I can get a motorcycle later.. * Miyu touches Shigeru, then * Mei-Yin eyes Miyu. * Miyu says the stuff earlier on. ( Mainly because I don't want to spend another CP. ) JUst trying to get a thought across... ( And, back to the present! ^_^ ) Huh? * Shigeru sobers up a bit, coughs, then starts laughing again. A thought across? * Eoi looks suspiciously at Miyu and Shiggy. * Hikaru blinks at Shigeru and Miyu. "What's so funny?" Seriously. Just give me the address. I'll walk. * Miyu breaks contact after Shigeru laughs. * Shigeru bites his lip and snickers. "Nothin'. Really." Eoi, it won't hurt you to take the bus. No. What do you mean, get a thought across? Maybe they're going to have Shigeru take away your bus phobia. ^_^ I'm NOT taking one of those deathtraps. Are you a mind reader too? He reads thoughts if you touch him * Mei-Yin O_Os and lets go of Shigeru's arm. Eep! * Mei-Yin turns bright red, so red that she almost gives off red light. * Shigeru blinks at Mei-Yin, then starts blushing a bit, himself. But it's not even close to as bad as her. ... I don't want to know what she was thinking. What're you guys thinking? * Mei-Yin turns brighter red. She might actually be giving off red light at this point. ( This can't be good for her blood pressure. ) Um. You can guess, Miyu. (Hanging out with Shiggy is gonna give the poor girl a heart attack.) * Shigeru coughs. "Anyway, fine. If you're so dead set against taking the bus, I guess I can't stop you." ( She's got a _very_ dirty mind. ) That's fine. I'll walk. Or something. Until I get a new motorcycle. If I can ever afford one. What's the address? Do you know where Chelsea lives? ( Did she give it to us in offscreen time? ) ( You've been there. ) * Eoi nods. ( You've been there before. ) I live in the apartment building next door, room 902. ( Oh yeah. ^^; ) wow Oh. Ok. We'll see you there, then? If I can make it in time. Heh * Eoi mumbles about psychos with guns blowing up his motorcycle he worked hard to get.. Do you know what that crazy lady was saying yesterday, by the way? ANd why she was after you? She wasn't after Mei. Well, I better start walking now. Bai Let's go. * Eoi heads out the door and starts the LONG walk. * Shigeru moves over to the door and opens it, then heads out. Later, Eoi. * Mei-Yin walks out beside Shigeru, but not touching him. * Hikaru follows Mei and Shigeru. * Miyu goes along [Session End]
