[20:06] [Day: Wednsday. Time: 8:00 P.M.] [20:07] [After some hectic running around yesterday, MC managed to "Cure" Kimiko, thanks to Chizuru's fabulous cooking. Unfortunately, she got cured into Eoi's body. Oh, and Vicki swore to have nothing to do with MC ever again.] [20:08] ( Glee! ) [20:08] (Well, that's new.) [20:08] ( Shush, you. ) [20:08] [SESSION START] [20:08] (So, where are we? ^_^) [20:08] [And you're in the MC room, by the way.] [20:09] * Chelsea contemplates buying a dartboard for the room. [20:09] * Shigeru walks into the room and promptly takes his customary seat. [20:09] * Hikaru enters the room, scowling darkly. [20:09] * Mei-Yin walks in, carrying a large stack of lunches, as usual. [20:10] * Shigeru waves to Hikaru and Mei-Yin, blinking at Hikaru's expression. [20:10] * Eoi leans against a wall, looking fairly depressed. [20:10] Hi Hikaru. [20:10] * Hikaru glares at Eoi. [20:10] * Miyu is sitting in her usual chair, wide awake this time. She looks even worse than she has been recently... [20:10] * Mei-Yin hands people lunches as she walks past. [20:10] * Eoi stares at the strange girl who just entered the room. [20:10] * Shigeru looks from Hikaru to Eoi. "Er, something happen?" [20:10] Here you go, Eoi. [20:10] Uh. Whoozat? [20:10] That's Mei-Yin. You don't remember her. Most people don't. But she's your friend. [20:11] Other then Vicki leaving forever, no.. oh that. [20:11] Alrighty then. [20:11] * Shigeru blinks. [20:11] Yes. THAT. [20:11] Have some lunch, it'll make you feel better, Hikaru. [20:11] Vicki's leaving forever? [20:11] Vicki continued to be annoying and cause trouble.. I yelled at her, she stormed off. [20:11] ( 8 P.M. is a bit late for lunch... :P ) [20:11] * Chelsea hubs her forehead. "She claims to be, anyway." [20:11] Near as I can tell. No big loss, all she ever did was cause trouble. [20:11] Yeah. Thanks to Eoi and Miyu, she isn't coming back. [20:11] ( Lunch is a state of mind, not a time of day. ) [20:11] * Shigeru considers that. [20:11] And hell, at least Hikaru isn't stuck in a girl's body like SOME people. [20:11] Oh, hey, Eoi. [20:12] * Miyu seems to be just kinda sitting there silently, looking distressed. [20:12] * Mei-Yin puts a lunch down in front of Hikaru. [20:12] Ah. Well, y'don't *know* that, Hikaru. She could've just said it without meaning it. [20:12] * Eoi looks curiously at the lunch, then digs in. [20:12] Here you go, Miyu. Brain food. [20:12] Mmm. Tastes good. Thanks Miss! [20:12] Eoi, remind me in case I forget; I need to talk to your grandfather about something. [20:12] Th-thank you... [20:12] * Hikaru doesn't notice the food, too busy trying to kill Eoi just by looking at him/her. [20:13] Sure thing. [20:13] ( How many does Mei-Yin have with her? ) [20:13] * Mei-Yin takes the box from the bottom of the stack and offers it to Shigeru. [20:13] Thanks. [20:13] ( Oh, eight or so. ) [20:13] I need to talk to him too. Figure out what the hell to do about this. [20:13] * Eoi points at him/herself. [20:13] ... another one, if you please. [20:13] * Shigeru accepts it with a grin. "Thanks, Mei." He opens it and starts to dig in. [20:13] A second, that is [20:13] * Chelsea chuckles and nods. "Yeah, maybe we can do something about that, too." [20:13] * Hikaru scowls and turns away from Eoi. [20:14] * Mei-Yin offers Chelsea a lunch, too. [20:14] [The phone rings] [20:14] * Shigeru looks at Hikaru and Eoi. ~It was really that bad, huh?~ he thinks to Chelsea. [20:14] * Eoi answers the phone. [20:14] Hello? [20:14] * Hikaru mutters darkly under his breath. [20:14] * Chelsea graciously thanks Mei-Yin and opens the lunch. "Hey, Eoi, get the.. there ya' go." [20:15] Uh. I think you've got the wrong number. [20:15] ~Yeah, it was that bad.~ [20:15] No. [20:15] * Miyu eats her food, but kinda... without energy. [20:15] I have video, if anybody would like to review it. I doubt it's necessary, though. [20:15] This is Mystery Club. Sorry. [20:15] ~I tried to ignore it, but that wasn't really possible.~ [20:15] ~Think Vicki'll actually stay gone? I mean, she wasn't around much to begin with, but still.~ [20:15] * Eoi hangs up. [20:15] * Shigeru blinks at Mei. "Video? Of what?" [20:15] Wrong number. [20:15] Of the argument where Vicki left. [20:15] WHat was the call about? [20:15] Someone wanted a pizza. [20:16] ~I dunno, honestly. With Vicki, you can never tell if she means something. I'm worried about Hikaru, tho.~ [20:16] ... Ah. Well, I guess it's not really necessary. [20:16] I couldn't get video of Eoi learning to negotiate, though. [20:16] * Chelsea eats happuly. n_n [20:16] * Shigeru blinks. "Eoi? Negotiate?" [20:16] ( How many food thingies are left? ^_^; ) [20:16] ~He's got a rage problem. Should do something about that.~ [20:16] ( 3 ) [20:17] Yes. Negotiate [20:17] Ano... Mei-Yin? Could I have a second one? [20:17] Yeah, that Saki girl took him behind a wall and taught him to negotiate. I couldn't get back there, though. There was a girl blocking the way. [20:17] * Shigeru nods. [20:17] Oh, sure! [20:17] * Mei-Yin gives Miyu another lunch. [20:17] ... thank you. [20:17] Well, he got out alive, and his mind's all there from what I can tell. So I guess it doesn't matter much. [20:17] Oh, you're welcome. [20:18] ... I'm eating for two now. [20:18] ~Yeah. Things could go poorly if he goes off at the wrong moment.~ [20:18] O_O [20:18] * Shigeru blinks. [20:18] * Mei-Yin whips out her videocamera in a blink. [20:18] Say that again? [20:18] * Shigeru looks up at Miyu. "Tell me you didn't just say what I think you said." [20:18] * Eoi STARES at Miyu. [20:18] Hey, Mei-Yin. Thanks for the I'm sorry what did you say, Miyu? [20:18] What the hell? [20:18] * Hikaru finally actually notices the rest of the conversation and nearly falls out of his seat. [20:18] Wha....? [20:19] ( I'm praying we all are just misunderstanding that. ) [20:19] * Miyu just kinda looks down... [20:19] ( No, we're not. ) [20:19] ... the Fort line isn't over. [20:19] Did you just say what I think you said? [20:19] ... [20:19] * Shigeru frowns and concentrates on Miyu. [20:19] Ho.. wa.. zuh? [20:19] ( Loudest thought, as usual? ) [20:19] * Mei-Yin steps backward to get the whole group in picture. [20:19] (Not really reading thoughts, just sensing presences.) [20:19] It isn't? That's terrible news. [20:19] ( I don't want to know, I don't want to know.. ) [20:19] ( Presences? ) [20:19] * Hikaru BOGGLES. [20:20] ... Ok. I'm confused. How the hell does this work? [20:20] (Yes. :P Sort of... hm... psychic signatures. Thumbprints. How many are there in/around Miyu?) [20:20] ( One :P ) [20:20] ( It's probably still too early for the baby to have a separate consciousness. ) [20:20] (Whew, so she hasn't been pregnant for *that* long. ^^) [20:20] ( Precisely. :P ) [20:21] * Chelsea puts the remains of her lunch down. " [20:21] I... [20:21] * Shigeru blinks, then shakes his head as if to clear it. [20:21] I need to quit the Mystery Club... [20:21] Hm. My appetite seems to have gotten lost somewhere. [20:21] Mine too. [20:21] Uh. Yeah. This.. what? [20:22] ... How the hell did this happen Miyu? [20:22] Sorry, everyone... [20:22] (And yes, it is still too early. :P) [20:22] * Hikaru points a finger at Miyu. "You...you're...p..." [20:22] ... yes. [20:22] Pregnant. You can say it, Hikaru. [20:23] Ooooh, this is great material. [20:23] * Shigeru sighs. "With Calvin's kid, right?" [20:23] .... I shouldn't be able to know this early on... hell, nobody even TOLD me... No doctor's tests or anything... I just... KNEW. [20:23] ... yeah. This is Calvin's. Unless Miyuki did anything... [20:24] ... oh, Calvin... [20:24] * Miyu starts to break down, crying. [20:24] ... Well damn. [20:24] * Shigeru blinks a couple times. "Um." [20:24] This.. was unexpected. [20:24] * Hikaru just looks stunned. [20:24] ( This would certainly explain why Calvin was so dead set on getting her back... ) [20:25] ... Yeah. [20:25] ( I thought that was just because Calvin was insane? ) [20:26] * Shigeru stares at Miyu with a glazed look, then snaps out of it and stands, getting the box of tissues and handing them to her. [20:26] ( That too. ) [20:26] * Chelsea licks her lips. "Well. Ah. Hm." [20:26] * Miyu accepts them. And uses. [20:26] (He had to have been insane to sleep with Miyu! *ducks*) [20:26] (Yeah. No wonder the poor gut went blind. *alsoducks*) [20:26] My family's rich enough to help me support my child, and I can definitely complete my education, but with the father gone...... [20:27] ( If Kaira finds out, Miyu and the kid are _both_ very, very dead. ) [20:27] * Shigeru pushes his glasses up and rubs at his eyes. "You're right." [20:27] [The phone rings] [20:27] (Yup!) [20:28] * Eoi answers the phone. [20:28] Hello? [20:28] ( Mweh. You're all gonna hate me after this session. ;_; ) [20:28] ( Nah. ) [20:28] ( Nah. ) [20:28] (No more than usual. ^_^) [20:28] Um. What? [20:28] ( ... Wanna bet? ;_; ) [20:28] ( Aw crap. It's him. ) [20:28] (Robed Guy!) [20:29] ( Vicki's father. ) [20:29] ( Mei: Got it in one. ) [20:29] ( ^_^_V ) [20:29] ... uh... [20:29] * Chelsea ponders dark thoughts. [20:29] ( Ooooh. ) [20:29] * Shigeru doesn't ponder anything. He's kind of in shock. [20:30] ... What the hell do yo... YOU! [20:30] * Hikaru is still sitting there looking stupid. [20:30] What the helld do you mean "Won't last long?" [20:30] * Shigeru blinks, his head jerking up at Eoi's raised voice. [20:30] * Chelsea looks at Eoi with a raised eyebrow. [20:30] * Hikaru blinks and looks at Eoi. [20:31] ... [20:31] Well shit. [20:31] Vicki's father just gave us a ring. [20:31] Really. [20:31] * Hikaru stiffens. [20:31] ... [20:31] What's he saying this time/ [20:31] ( Told ya ;_; ) [20:32] We're supposed to go to an old Catholic Church at (insertAddresshere). He said he that she's upset and.. "won't last long in this condition." [20:32] That bodes. Poorly. [20:32] Can't we ever have a day go by without horrible revelations and demons attacking? I mean, honestly. [20:32] * Hikaru jumps out of his seat and bolts out the door. [20:32] ... I wish there were something I could do to help. [20:32] * Shigeru frowns and sits down on the spot, pulling out his laptop and typing madly. "Someone get Hikaru. I don't want him killing himself." [20:33] You just stay here Miyu. Or go, or whatever you want to do. We'll call you to let you know how it went later. [20:33] * Miyu nods... [20:33] .. uh, I'd go after him, but I think he'd hit me. [20:33] I guess I'll go home... [20:33] * Miyu gives Eoi 1xPhoneNumber [20:33] ( Not that any of you could catch Hikaru on foot. :P ) [20:33] I'll try to be here to talk to you guys next meeting. [20:34] Try not to get in trouble. [20:34] * Miyu nods... [20:34] ( Calvin could've :P ) [20:34] Thanks you. [20:34] ( -s ) [20:34] The church is just outside of Tokyo. Been abandoned for a few years. [20:34] We're going to need to go mass transit on this one. Hopefully Hikaru isn't hijacking cars just to get there first. [20:35] Uh. Damn. Guess I'll find some other way to get there. [20:35] * Chelsea nods. [20:35] [Note: The weather outside is raining pretty heavily, with occasional thunder and lightning. ^_^] [20:35] Maybe I'll make it in time. I hope. [20:35] No, Eoi, you're going with us. [20:35] * Shigeru looks up at Eoi coolly. "No, you're going to go with us. If things are this bad, we need you there now." [20:35] No, I'm not. [20:35] You're coming with us, Eoi. [20:35] Yes, you are. [20:35] * Mei-Yin puts the camera away. [20:35] ( ...he's like B.A. and airplanes. ) [20:35] ( Trust me, I wish I could. But Fear of Cars translates to "All land-bound transportation" ) [20:36] ( Just give me some drugged milk. ) [20:36] Eoi, you need to overcome your fear... [20:36] ( Yeah. That's what they did to B.A. in one episode. ) [20:36] ( Heh. If it was that easy, he wouldn've have gotten a CP for it :P ) [20:37] Eoi, if we have to knock you out and bind you, you're coming with us. [20:37] * Shigeru flicks off his laptop and puts it away. [20:37] Damn it, I'm not getting on one of those things. [20:38] Sure you are. [20:38] Nope. I'll .. uh.. find a way. [20:38] Guys... just hurry up and go. it was too late to save Calvin. You might still have time to save Vicki. [20:39] * Shigeru stands up and looks straight into Eoi's eyes. "You're not going to find another way. You're coming even if I make you come with. I don't think either of us would like that, so just go." [20:40] I.. I can't alright! [20:40] *** Chelsea has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) [20:40] ( WAH! ) [20:40] * Shigeru glares at Eoi, then sighs. [20:41] ( Rewire his brain, Shiggy! ) [20:41] I don't think it's just that he dislikes cars. I think he's afraid of them. [20:41] *** Chelsea has joined #besm [20:41] (Bleh. >XP) [20:42] * Shigeru concentrates on Eoi. Emotions? [20:42] ( Scared, worried, upset. ) [20:43] *** Brett sets mode: +v Chelsea [20:43] * Shigeru frowns. "Yeah, he is." He adds, to everyone but Eoi, ~And I really don't want to force him to go to sleep or anything. I don't even know if I can do that.~ [20:45] Seriously, I'll.. bike or walk or something. I might make it in time. [20:45] Come on, Eoi. I know you and Vicki had a fight, but she's in trouble. And you probably want another crack at her ass of a father, right? [20:45] Yeah, I want to help, I really do. [20:45] Then come on. We're going. [20:46] Uh, seriously. I can find my own way. [20:46] * Mei-Yin walks up just behind Shigeru and whispers in his ear, "He's got one hell of a phobia going here. I don't suppose you could do something?" [20:47] Yes, and you'll probably get there just in time to watch someone die. Won't that just make your day? [20:47] * Shigeru glances at Mei-Yin. ~I could *try*,~ he thinks to her. ~But if I screw up...~ [20:47] ~Well, let's just say that Calvin wasn't too happy about me breaking his head once. Heaven didn't like it much, either.~ [20:47] * Mei-Yin thinks back, ~Then poof, no more Eoi?~ [20:48] * Shigeru nods, his eyes glazing over slightly. ~That's one thing that could happen, yeah. If I do the wrong thing.~ [20:48] * Chelsea glances at Shigeru and turns her gaze back to Eoi. "So." [20:49] I suppose we'll have to resort to normal methods, then. [20:49] Come on, Eoi. [20:49] Guys, come on. I'll find my own way there. Maybe I can come just in time to save the day or something! [20:49] Let's go. [20:49] ( Get him drunk! ) [20:49] * Mei-Yin grabs ahold of Eoi's arm and starts pulling. [20:49] Hey! [20:49] Come on, let's go. [20:50] * Chelsea grabs Eoi's other arm and pulls also. "Here we go, then." [20:50] Shiggy, be a dear and get his legs? [20:50] No, no. [20:50] Don't worry about it, Chelsea. [20:50] * Shigeru cracks a grin at that. [20:50] Hey! [20:50] We're not going to take him on the train. It'll be okay. [20:50] Oh. No train? We're walking? [20:50] Ok then. [20:50] * Chelsea pouts. "Oh, you're no fun." [20:51] ( We're gonna fire Eoi from a cannon! ) [20:51] * Mei-Yin shoots Chelsea a GLANCE. [20:51] * Eoi stops struggling. [20:51] * Chelsea whistles innocently. [20:51] * Shigeru opens the door. "C'mon, the rain awaits." [20:51] * Mei-Yin puts on her rain slicker over her backpack. [20:52] * Chelsea grabs her black rain poncho and puts it on, pulling the hood up. [20:52] * Shigeru just shrugs on his leather jacket and heads out. Not towards the train station, honest. [20:52] * Mei-Yin takes Shigeru's arm this time. [20:53] * Shigeru glances down at Mei-Yin. (Thoughts?) [20:53] * Eoi follows after everyone else. [20:53] * Chelsea quirks an eyebrow but says nothing. [20:53] ~Oh boy, I hope this works. I'm not a psychologist...~ [20:53] * Shigeru bites his lip with a grin. [20:53] So, Eoi, do you ever do any meditation? [20:54] * Chelsea follows along, humming to herself and smirking. [20:54] *** blargh has joined #besm [20:54] Yeah, quite a bit. Why? [20:55] It must be pretty hard to block out all the distractions in Tokyo... [20:55] How do you manage it? [20:56] I just go somewhere nice and quiet and sit real still. [20:56] So you've never meditated when it's noisy? [20:56] ( Alrighty. I'm off to play Baldur's Gate now. Whee. ) [20:56] *** Mandoric has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) [20:58] Not really. It's kinda hard to concetrate. [20:58] * Chelsea sings softly to herself, still smirking. [20:58] So you can't do it? You must not be very good. [20:59] Maybe I'm not. Geez, is this insult Eoi day or somethin'? [21:00] Oh no, there's nothing wrong with being inadequate. [21:00] * Chelsea bites her lip. [21:00] * Shigeru coughs. [21:01] ... [21:01] Fine, I'll try it sometime, ok? [21:02] Try? [21:02] I thought there was no try. [21:02] Isn't that how it goes? [21:02] * Shigeru goes into a coughing fit. "Something like that." He clears his throat. [21:03] Why the hell wouldn't there be no try? First you tell me i'm inadequate, now you say I shouldn't try? [21:04] Hmmm... I'm trying to remember how the saying went... [21:04] ( There is no try rather. ((_^; ) [21:04] (She isn't remembering perfectly. :P) [21:04] I think it was... Try not. Do, or do not. There is no try. [21:05] * Shigeru snickers at Mei-Yin's Yoda voice. [21:05] A..hah. [21:05] Fine. Next time I get a free moment, I'll "do" it. [21:06] * Chelsea snerks as quietly as she can manage. [21:06] Well, you're not doing anything important now, are you? You're just walking along. [21:07] Uh, yeah. But Meditating when walking along is kinda dangerous. You walk into poles and stuff. [21:07] You don't trust your friends to keep you from doing that? [21:07] ... Well... Alright, I'll try. You better not be playing a prank on me. [21:08] * Shigeru shrugs. "There are much worse things we could do as pranks." [21:08] * Eoi attempts to Meditate while walking along. Why, he doesn't know. [21:08] * Mei-Yin tugs Shigeru forward and takes one of Eoi's arms, gently guiding him along. [21:08] * Mei-Yin motions for Shigeru to take the other arm. [21:09] * Shigeru is tugged, then does so. [21:10] * Chelsea comes up next to Mei-Yin and gives an approving thumbs-up. [21:10] If you hear me, Eoi, when I tell you to step, step. We'll be walking in a steep area, so we have to climb a few stairs. [21:10] * Shigeru grins at Chelsea. [21:11] * Chelsea grins wide. [21:11] ( The ten of Prozac indicates another victory for modern psychology. ) [21:11] (Well, this *is* Eoi we're talking about.) [21:12] ( Ah yes. Eoi, the Fighter of Mystery Club. ) [21:12] (I like naginatas!) [21:12] *** Kirby2 has left #besm [21:13] ( Don't need him :P ) [21:13] ( Ah. ) [21:13] * Mei-Yin times it as the group arrives at the train station. [21:13] Okay, Eoi. Step. [21:13] [They get there. Woot.] [21:13] ( To the train? Or to the church? ) [21:14] ( The station. ) [21:14] * Shigeru sighs, removing his glasses and drying with his shirt. "Damn rain. Makes it impossible to see." He puts them back on and continues guiding Eoi. [21:15] * Eoi walks along.. [21:15] d6+8 [21:15] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Hikaru (d6+8) and gets 13. [21:16] Step. [21:17] * Eoi steps. [21:17] Step. [21:18] * Eoi steps. [21:18] Okay, keep walking. [21:20] * Mei-Yin takes out her train pass and slots the group through. [21:21] [She succeeds. Woot] [21:22] * Mei-Yin guides Eoi onto the train. [21:22] ( Pause for a bit ) [21:22] ( Okay. ) [21:22] (Um, 'kay.) [21:22] ( Back in a sec. ) [21:23] ( Oh gods, i wish I could just hypnotize Eoi. ) [21:24] (*notes that Shig needs to get mind control. Sure, he'd hate himself even more, but it'd make things so much easier*) [21:25] ( Unpause ) [21:26] ( I wish you could too. ) [21:26] ( Believe me. ((_^; ) [21:26] ( Shoulda spoke to HypnoGuy, then... ) [21:26] ( Believe me, if Mei ever meets him, she'll probably ask for lessons. ) [21:27] ( Hee. ) [21:28] ( Hurry up and get here so you can help! @_@ ) [21:28] * Mei-Yin waits patiently for the train to get there. [21:28] *** Kirby has left #besm [21:28] * Shigeru waits. Waits waits waits. [21:29] * Chelsea also waits. [21:30] [The train travels.] [21:30] (Gee, Hikaru, if we all had super speed we'd be there by now. ;P) [21:31] ( If you hadn't waited about an hour after he left, too :P ) [21:31] (An hour? It took us that long to say those words? ^^;) [21:31] ( We did a _lot_ of arguing. ) [21:31] (True.) [21:32] ( Believe me, I waited a good deal before starting the second channel. :P ) [21:32] (Hopefully one of you is logging that? ^^;) [21:32] ( Yeah. ) [21:32] * Shigeru sighs and glances out the window, not that it makes the train travel any faster. [21:33] * Chelsea hums to herself again. [21:33] * Eoi wonders curiously why he feels moving. "Are we on an escalator or something?" [21:33] Yep. [21:33] You shouldn't be able to feel it, though. [21:33] [After a while, the train finally stops at the station] [21:33] You need to meditate better. [21:34] * Shigeru snickers. [21:34] d6+8 [21:34] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Hikaru (d6+8) and gets 14. [21:34] * Mei-Yin steps off the 'escalator' [21:34] * Shigeru helps guide Eoi again. [21:34] Step down. [21:35] * Eoi steps down. "That was either a moving sidewalk or the worlds longest freaking escalator." [21:35] * Chelsea follows. o/~ [21:35] * Mei-Yin guides Eoi down the stairs to the street. [21:35] ( Poor Eoi. Poor Dense as a brick Eoi. ) [21:35] Very good, Eoi. It _was_ a moving sidewalk. [21:36] You're still paying too much attention, though. Maybe you should just give it up, we're almost there anyway. [21:37] * Eoi shrugs and stops. "Well, at least I tried. Wow, Time flys when you're doing that.." [21:37] Yeah, it does. [21:37] Funny thing about that. [21:37] C'mon, we're almost there. [21:37] * Shigeru stops guiding Eoi and heads towards the church. [21:38] * Chelsea heads for the church as well. [21:38] * Eoi follows after the others. [21:38] * Mei-Yin takes Shigeru's arm again and rests her head on his shoulder, finally relaxing a little. [21:38] * Shigeru blinks at Mei, but doesn't accidentally register her thoughts this time. [21:39] [The church is fairly large, on a hill. It's surrounded by a cemetary, which is surrounded by an iron fence. The gate has been left wide open. You can hear shouts and the sound of steel hitting steel from within. and it's still raining ^_^] [21:39] Crap! [21:39] Oh no! [21:39] * Eoi runs for the enterance. [21:39] We're missing all the action! [21:39] * Chelsea curses. "Sounds like the fight started without us. Let's go, Eoi!" [21:39] Yeah! [21:39] * Shigeru runs for the enterance. "Shit!" [21:39] * Mei-Yin lets go and runs! [21:39] * Chelsea draws her sword and runs for the entrance. [21:39] * Eoi pulls out his Naginata and rushes foward. [21:40] ( Hey, no fighting on holy ground! ) [21:41] (Tell them that!) [21:41] [There appear to be two duels going on. Three fighters have swords, the fourth is using two large fans.] [21:41] * Shigeru blinks. "Mei-Fang. They're involved in this, too?" He concentrates. [21:42] * Chelsea blinks and swears again. "Not them again." [21:42] * Eoi blinks and tries to figure out what the hell is going on. [21:42] Aw man. Not them. [21:42] [Through the rain, you can't make them out] [21:42] ( Two large fans? That sounds like... no way. ) [21:42] * Eoi continues rushing forward. [21:43] ( It's Piro, using two large fanboys :P ) [21:43] (*snerk*) [21:43] ( Heh. ) [21:43] * Chelsea keeps going and tries to figure out who she ought to be attacking. [21:43] ( snickers. ) [21:43] (Hee!) [21:43] ( Where, exactly, are you guys running? ) [21:43] ( I was thinking it was the character you intended for STG, but yours used a sword and pistol. ) [21:44] * Mei-Yin runs for the nearest cover from the rain where she can still get video of these duels. [21:44] * Shigeru thinks to the group. ~It's Mei and Lei all right. I think we should help 'em.~ [21:44] (Uhm, towards the fights? Or can we not get there for some undisclosed reason?) [21:44] ~The guys they're fightin' have no thoughts. None.~ [21:44] ( Are you going towards Mei or Lei? ) [21:45] ~As opposed to having thoughts that you can't read? That's interesting.~ [21:45] * Shigeru starts edging around the duels, trying to sense Hikaru. [21:45] (Lei's the one that always trips and stuff, right?) [21:45] (Yup.) [21:45] ( Yup. ) [21:45] ( You can make her out pretty easily from that :P ) [21:45] (Then she's the one I'm running to. Mei can handle herself well enough.) [21:46] ( I'm heading after Chelsea. She seems to know where to go. ) [21:46] * Shigeru runs around the duels and heads for the church. [21:47] Something bad up ahead.. [21:47] ~Hikaru's in there!~ [21:47] Probably, yeah. [21:48] * Mei-Yin goes for the church, where the main action must be. [21:48] ( ... Ok... ) [21:48] *** Ked has joined #besm [21:48] ( /me tries to figure out how to do this... ) [21:48] ...uh, it's not Friday, is it? [21:48] (No, it's not. ^^) [21:49] ( Ok, so Eoi and Chelsea are going for Lei? ) [21:49] ( Nope. They wanted a session, though. ) [21:49] (For now.) [21:49] ( For now. ) [21:49] ( Everyone else's going to the church? ) [21:49] ( *sigh* Well, Norii misses another. Sorry. ) [21:50] *** Ked has left #besm [21:50] (Yup.)

I wish I'd thought of it. ) [21:54] ( It's either Quing or Andrew. Probably Quing. ) [21:54] ( Thanks for the idea, Brett. ) [21:54] [Eoi/Chelsea/Calvin, Leifang] [21:55] ( I just doomed Shiho, Saki, AND Chizuru, didn't I? ;_; ) [21:55] ( Nah. ) [21:55] ( Nah. ) [21:55] ( I wouldn't do that, it's immature. ) [21:55] [Eoi's turn] [21:55] ( Let's just say I never forget a good idea, and this is a good idea. ) [21:56] ...

If I can hit him with a 8, I can't hit him with squat. ) [21:59] ( Ah well. ) [22:03] ( What the fuck was that? ) [22:03] (what incredible timing... =P) [22:04] (mei-yin: sandwich go boom. again. =P) [22:04] ( Wowza. ) [22:04] (Calc accidentally unplugged the DSL router. :P) [22:04] (...*snerk*) [22:05] ( Oops. ) [22:05] ( Where was I? ) [22:05] (I was attacking ZombieCalvin.)

Poor Calvin. ) [22:17] [Lei-Fang gets up and runs over to help her sister, only tripping once on the way there] [22:19] ( Um... Feel free to act. ) [22:19] * Chelsea looks at Eoi. "You okay?" [22:19] ( You're not in combat now. ) [22:19] Eh. Fine. Come on, they can handle the other one. Let's get to the church. [22:19] * Chelsea looks at the other fight. (How're they doing?) [22:21] ( Swell, it seems. ) [22:21] (It seems?) [22:22] ( It seems... through the rain and whatnot. ) [22:23] * Eoi heads for the church. [22:23] Eoi. you go ahead to the... right. [22:23] [Both of you going?] [22:23] (I guess. ^^;) [22:24] *** Kirby has joined #besm [22:25] [Eoi and Chelsea enter the church, where Shig, and Mei-Yin stand near a pile of ash. Hikaru is down the hall, looking for something] [22:25] [Shig has a nasty cut across his chest, and Hikaru looks beat to all hell] [22:25] Uh. Hi guys. What's going on? [22:25] Dammit, we don't have time to wait for them. [22:25] * Shigeru looks over at Eoi and Chelsea. "They're here." [22:25] Where IS that door? Shit! [22:25] Hi. What the hell is going on? [22:25] * Chelsea jogs along. "Hey, huys. What's-- Shig! Are you okay?" [22:26] * Shigeru is leaning against the wall, with a rather deep gash across his chest. "Just peachy." [22:26] * Chelsea runs up to Shigeru and looks him over. [22:26] Does anybody have any bandages? [22:26] Jeez. Shiggy. What happened? [22:26] I've got some. [22:26] * Hikaru continues to search for the door. [22:26] Some guy named Kojiro cut him. [22:26] [Hikaru spots a door behind the altar] [22:26] Stupid asshold. [22:26] * Eoi gets his medkit out and tries to patch Shiggy up as best he can. [22:26] There. [22:26] * Shigeru coughs. "I interfered in Kojiro and Hikaru's duel." [22:26] .. Kojiro? [22:26] Shit. Not Kojiro again. [22:26] Son of a bitch. [22:26] * Hikaru goes to unlock the door. [22:27] He's dead. Turned his back to hit me, and Hikaru got 'im. [22:27] [Hikaru succeeds] [22:27] * Hikaru opens the door, and goes through. [22:27] Mei-Yin, you know first aid? [22:27] Not really. [22:27] * Shigeru looks over at the door. "Thanks, Eoi." [22:27] I'm doing my best here. [22:28] I know a little bit. A very little bit. [22:28] Let's go. [22:28] Alright, lets go! [22:28] * Mei-Yin grabs her camera and runs after Hikaru. [22:28] * Eoi runs after Hikaru. [22:28] [Inside are spiraling stairs, which you can climb to the bell tower] [22:28] * Hikaru staggers up the stairs. [22:28] ...dramatic bastard. [22:28] * Shigeru starts heading up the stairs. [22:28] [The others catch up to hikaru easily, as he's gravely wounded and can't move as fast as he'd probably like] [22:29] * Chelsea helps Shigeru along. [22:29] * Mei-Yin keeps the film rolling. [22:29] Well. I shouldn't have worried about him destroying my mind back during the first duel. [22:29] * Shigeru flicks his eyes to Hikaru. "Mind telling us what's going on?" [22:29] * Chelsea chuckles bitterly. [22:30] Vicki's father. He raised them and set them to kill me. [22:30] He's waiting on top. [22:30] Well, let us kick his ass. [22:31] Let us at least try. [22:31] * Eoi heads up the stairs. [22:31] * Shigeru nods. [22:31] *** Brett2 has joined #besm [22:31] What was it you said earlier? [22:31] Do or do not. There is no try. [22:31] Why the hell do you care? Don't you all hate Vicki? [22:31] ( Blargh ) [22:31] Who says I hate Vicki? [22:31] ( What'd I miss? ) [22:31] ( What was the last you saw? ) [22:31] She's annoying, and a quite a bit of bitch. But lord knows I don't hate her. [22:31] * Chelsea chuckles. "That was Mei-Yin, but the sentiment is certainly valid." [22:31] *** Brett has quit IRC (SVSKilled: GHOST command used by Brett2 ) [22:31] *** Brett2 is now known as Brett [22:31] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Brett [22:32] *** Kirby has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) [22:32] ( Gimme a minute to catch up. ) [22:32] *** Kirby has joined #besm [22:33] ( Ok ) [22:33] [Up above, the bell starts ringing] [22:33] * Hikaru falls silent and continues to stagger onward. [22:33] *** Kirby is now known as Voice [22:33] * Chelsea chuckles. "Melodrama. Yay." [22:33] Better hurry! You're running out of time. [22:34] Or maybe I should say you have all the time in the world. [22:34] * Eoi tries to get up the stairs faster. [22:34] * Shigeru narrows his eyes, trying to recognize the voice. [22:34] ( Sounds like Vicki's father's ) [22:35] * Shigeru scowls and keeps moving up the stairs. [22:35] * Hikaru growls and attempts to speed up. [22:36] [The bell tolls louder as you get higher. People with heightened senses: Hearing, it hurts your ears] [22:36] * Mei-Yin adjusts the volume pickup on the camera, making sure the filters are keeping the camera from going 'splodey. [22:37] * Shigeru keeps walking, wincing at the shift in volume. His eyes unfocus only slightly. [22:37] * Chelsea winces and continues to help Shig along. ~Think you canmake it on your own?~ [22:37] [MC finally makes it to the top. There, in the rain, they see a figure wearing a dark cloak (Cloak, not robe). Behind him, Vicki is tied to the large cross on the rooftop.] [22:38] *** Voice is now known as Figure [22:38] How dramatic. [22:38] OK. Let her go. [22:38]
I've been waiting for you. [22:38] Quick, someone hit the man with an Emmy. [22:38] Sure you have. No long dramatic speeches. [22:38] Let her go or we kick your ass. [22:38] Fucking bastard. What are you doing?! [22:38]
Will you? Can you? [22:39]
Why? Playing at life. [22:39] * Mei-Yin whispers to herself, "Oh no, cocky heroes always get slapped down." [22:39]
I'm a necromancer, after all. That's what I do. [22:39] ( Would you, could you, in a church? ) [22:39] * Shigeru stares. ~Fuck. Vicki!~ Everyone hears it, including the father. [22:39] ( Would you, could you, make a lurch? ) [22:39]
Did you enjoy seeing your friends again? [22:39] ~WHAT?!~ [22:39] ... What? [22:40] * Hikaru raises a clawed hand. [22:40]
Perhaps I can bring back that Quing fellow, if you like. [22:40] Well, they were in a pretty sorry state, unfortunately. [22:40] ~WHAT. IS. WRONG. WITH. VICKI.~ [22:40] * Figure nods. "Being dead tends to damage one's hygine." [22:40]
Usually. [22:40] You don't mess with our friends. [22:40] I can imagine. [22:41] Dead or not. [22:41] Tell me, are all necromancers so melodramatic? [22:41] * Shigeru lowers his eyes from Vicki and looks at her father, his eyes flickering. ~I can sense her, Hikaru. She's not dead.~ [22:41]
No. They usually don't last long enough. [22:41] Ah. Pity. [22:41] Ah good. Let us make sure that happens to you too. [22:41] Necromancy. That's foul. Even more so then vampires. [22:42] Let her go. NOW!! [22:42]
Heh. It's a bit late for that. [22:42]
Why? [22:42]
I thought you hated her? [22:42] Careful with your wording around these types, Hikaru. [22:42]
You were very mean to her yesterday. [22:42] Nobody hates her, except maybe you. What kind of sick games are you playing? [22:42] I was upset. Doesn't mean I hate her. [22:42] People get into fights. It doesn't always mean hate. [22:42]
I'm not playing any game. Except perhaps the game of life. [22:43] Enough talk. Let her go. [22:43]
Very well. [22:43] * Shigeru feels his eyes flicker again, then shakes his head, and they're clear. "God damnit." [22:43] WHAT. DO. YOU. WANT. WITH. VICKI. TELL ME! [22:43] *** Vicki has joined #besm [22:44] * Figure unties Vicki, who slowly staggers her way towards MC. [22:44]
There you go. [22:44] Hey, Vicki. How goes? [22:44] Vicki! [22:44] Vicki.. [22:44] * Hikaru staggers towards her. [22:44]
In as perfect a condition as you last saw her. [22:45] * Shigeru glances at Vicki, then turns his attention back to the figure. [22:45] Something's wrong. What's your game? [22:45] * Vicki doesn't respond to anything, but lurches forwards, a blank look in her eyes. [22:45] ... Hikaru. Get away from her. [22:45] Shit! Get away from her, Hikaru! [22:45]
Haven't I told you? The game of life. [22:45] Huh? [22:45] You BASTARD! [22:45]
And with life... is death. [22:46] Yours. [22:46] * Mei-Yin zooms in on Vicki's face, trying to see if she has pupils. [22:46] * Hikaru backs away. "What...what is it?" [22:46] ...oh, you miserable wretch. [22:46] She's dead Hikaru. She's a zombie. [22:46] [She does not] [22:46] ... [22:46]
Zombie? [22:46]
No. [22:46] She's being mind controlled. She doesn't have any pupils! Just like in all the anime! [22:46]
She's never been a zombie. Haven't you realized yet? [22:46]
Vicki... She's my greatest work. [22:46] ... [22:46] ...what? [22:46] W.. What? [22:47]
Twenty years ago, my poor daughter dies in childbirth, you see. [22:47]
( -s +d :P ) [22:47] And you.. did this. You are absolutly INSANE. [22:47] * Chelsea keeps up a soft string of invective under her breath. [22:47] ...but...no... [22:47]
It was upsetting, yes, but I saved her. I defeated Death and saved her. [22:48] * Shigeru blinks, then straightens. "You did." [22:48] She's.. oh my god. [22:48] Can we kick his ass now? [22:48] How endlessly fascinating. I'm not the least bit happy about it, but this is really something. [22:49]
Oh, just you wait. [22:49] I...I don't understand... [22:49] Why wait. Let's kick his ass now. [22:49] * Hikaru starts to cry. [22:49]
The true reason behind all this is yet to come. [22:49] True reason? [22:49]
Shall we fight now? [22:50] Kick you ass? Sounds like a good idea to me. [22:50]
Perhaps you're not angry enough now that you know the truth. [22:50]
Shall I go after the smorfy girl next? [22:50]
That old priest? [22:50] ... [22:50] [...] [22:50] * Chelsea sneers. "No, you shall not." [22:50]
Tell me, which would you like me to experiment with next? [22:50] Experiment? Is that all Vicki was to you? [22:50] You go NEAR my grandfather, I will personally feed you your own face. [22:50] * Chelsea goes to put her sword through Figure's head. [22:50] * Eoi attempts to slash the Figure. [22:51] [Chelsea and Eoi succeed, as he makes no move to dodge] [22:51] ... [22:51]
Ghh... Hh... heh. Heh heh. [22:51] I've got a bad feeling about this. [22:51] Five'll get you ten he doesn't stay down after this. [22:52] No bet. [22:52] * Shigeru snarls, clenching his fists. ~No. He won't.~ [22:52] * Figure breaks out into laughter. Then goes limp on the weapons. [22:52] * Chelsea pulls her sword out and steps away quickly. [22:52] * Eoi pulls his Naginata out and moves back. [22:52] * Figure falls. [22:52] * Figure rolls and falls off the side of the church [22:52] Shit! [22:52] * Shigeru stares. [22:53] *** Figure is now known as Kirby [22:53] * Chelsea licks her lips. [22:53] * Eoi turns and looks at the Vicki-thing [22:53] * Vicki moans a bit. [22:53] * Shigeru runs to the edge and looks down. [22:53] So. Who honestly thinks that fall will kill him in a permanent fashion? [22:53] We've got to do something. He's going to go after Miyu.. or my Grandfather. [22:53] * Hikaru staggers over to Vicki. [22:53] Wh... Where...? [22:53] We're not that lucky. [22:53] You okay, Vicki? [22:54] Vicki! [22:54] * Vicki looks down at her hands. [22:54] What do you mean Shiggy? [22:54] * Shigeru starts in on a string of colorful curses as he tries to look through the rain. "Can't see a damn thing." [22:54] * Vicki looks up and smirks. "Absolutely wonderful!" [22:54] I knew it! [22:54] ... [22:54] ... [22:54] * Shigeru blinks and whirls to look at Vicki. [22:54] * Vicki stands up straight, her eyes glowing like they're on fire. [22:54] * Shigeru concentrates on her. [22:55] Guys? [22:55] And now, you've bought me another 50 years to live. [22:55] I think we just tried to put a fire out with gasoline. [22:55] You want to live another fifty years? [22:55] Allow me to repay you, by making you my servants! [22:55] ...NO! [22:55] How about we shorten that to five minutes? [22:55] VICKI!!! [22:55] * Vicki waves her hand, and a wave of flames strikes at the group. [22:56] ( Everyone make a def roll. I'm not gonna do them all myself :P ) [22:56] ( Ranged. ) [22:56] 2d6 [22:56] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Mei-Yin (2d6) and gets 11.

[22:56] ( Oh yeah. I didn't make it. ) [22:57] ( Gah. Gotta calculate that now. ) [22:57] ( Who made it? ) [22:57] (... Nobody?) [22:58] ( Oh. Makes things easier. ) [22:59] [Everyone is struck with the happy fire. Hikaru's energy reserves give in, and he goes down] [22:59] Gaa! [22:59] Hikaru! [22:59] Hahahaha! The power of youth! It's priceless! [22:59] * Eoi rushes forward as best he can and slashes at Vicki-Figure. [23:00] * Chelsea puts up her shield, if she can. [23:00] * Vicki spins, neatly avoiding the slash. (Init) [23:00] * Hikaru gasps out "...vicki..." as he collapses. [23:00] d6+7 [23:00] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chelsea (d6+7) and gets 13. [23:00] d6+6 [23:00] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Shigeru (d6+6) and gets 7. [23:00] d6+3 [23:00] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Mei-Yin (d6+3) and gets 5. [23:00] d6+7 [23:00] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Eoi (d6+7) and gets 13. [23:01] [Chelsea/Eoi, Vicki, Shig, Mei-Yin] [23:01] [Chelsea' turn] [23:02] * Chelsea goes cut at FormerVicki's throat. [23:02] (Whacks his heyboard) [23:02] [Chelsea slips on the wet roof and falls. Fortunately, she manages to stop before rolling off the side] [23:02] [Eoi's turn] [23:03] * Eoi attempts to take FormerVicki's head off. [23:03] ( O.o ) [23:03] [Eoi... trips over Chelsea] [23:03] Waa! [23:03] (...) [23:03] ( ... ) [23:03] ( ...dude. ) [23:03] [Vicki's turn] [23:03] ( .... what? ) [23:04] ( Two critical failures in a row. Wow. ) [23:04] Hahaha! Such power! The kitsune was a wise decision! [23:04] Gah! [23:04] I've never felt a source as strong as... erg. [23:04] * Vicki suddenly cluthes her head. [23:05] Errrg! What's... happening?! [23:05] * Shigeru blinks. "Vicki," he whispers. [23:05] Vicki.. Vicki is fighting him? [23:05] * Hikaru pushes himself up off the ground. [23:05] Sounds like Vicki isn't happy with her new roomate. [23:05] * Vicki staggers. "Im... Impossible! She has no... no consciousness left!" [23:05] Eoi, get off me. [23:05] Vicki...FIGHT HIM OFF! [23:05] Oh. Sorry. ^_^; [23:06] * Eoi tries to roll of Chelsea. [23:06] ( roll off even. ) [23:06] * Hikaru staggers to his feet. [23:06] C'mon, Vicki! You can do it! [23:06] * Vicki continues to stagger. "Ergh. I can still do this! I can still regain control!" [23:06] * Hikaru starts to stagger towards Vicki. [23:06] Somebody has to kill her. [23:06] No! [23:06] Before he takes control fully. [23:06] I've got an idea! Don't kill her, I'm gonna try something! [23:06] Shig! Think you can get in there and give Vicki a hand? [23:07] * Shigeru gives Chelsea a quick nod and concentrates on Vicki. "He never will. Not if I can help it." [23:07] * Vicki claws at the air in front of her. [23:07] Vicki...don't let him win. Please! [23:07] * Hikaru continues to approach her. [23:07] * Chelsea sets her force field up, just in case. [23:07] ( Are we still in battletime? ) [23:07] ( No ) [23:08] * Eoi hold his Naginata out in front of him and focuses on Vicki. [23:08] * Shigeru winces. "Can't get in..." This doesn't stop him from trying, though. [23:08] I'm gonna try to help. [23:08] * Chelsea licks her lips. "Go for it, Eoi. [23:08] Damn. It's not working. [23:08] Fuck. [23:08] * Eoi pulls out a ward. [23:08] * Eoi tries to stick it on Vicki. [23:08] * Mei-Yin moves across the roof, still filming. [23:09] * Shigeru gasps, tearing his gaze from Vicki and cursing quietly. [23:09] * Vicki pushes Eoi away and staggers back. [23:09] * Hikaru keeps walking towards Vicki. "C'mon, Vicki! I know you're tough enough!" [23:09] * Eoi continues to try, trying to get by Vicki's defenses to put the ward on her. [23:09] Hi...karu. Kill me... [23:10] Damn it NO! We can save you! [23:10] No! I'm not gonna kill you! [23:10] Regh! It's... too late... [23:10] Push him out! [23:10] * Eoi tries even harder to get the damn ward on. [23:10] Hurry! I can't... do this much longer. [23:10] * Shigeru reaches into his pocket and pulls out a swiss army knife. He stares at it dully for a moment, then looks up and concentrates on Vicki. [23:11] *** Chelsea has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer ) [23:11] [Eoi succeeds. Doesn't seem to be exorcising him, though.] [23:11] * Hikaru walks right up to Vicki and hugs her. "I'm with you. You CAN do it." [23:11] * Mei-Yin fingers something in her pocket. [23:11] [Pause] [23:11] ( Mei: It's not a Ring of Invisibility, is it? ) [23:11] * Mei-Yin moves around behind Vicki and puts the camera down, leaving it on. [23:12] ( Ahem. Pause. ) [23:12] ( Gee, ain't this dramatic? :P ) [23:12] *** Chelsea has joined #besm [23:12] [Unpause] [23:12] ( [RAGE.] ) [23:12] * Vicki pushes Hikaru away. Probably without noticing. [23:13] * Vicki is basically flailling at the air. [23:13] Hurts... [23:13] P...Please... [23:13] * Mei-Yin stalks up behind Vicki and pulls an opened swiss army knife from her pocket. [23:13] No, Vicki! I can't kill you! [23:13] I...I... [23:13] ( Woah. ) [23:13] * Shigeru flips open his own knife and watches Mei. ~Get back, Hikaru.~ [23:13] ... [23:14] Dammit, Vicki! I love you! [23:14] Damn it. Damn it. [23:14] I know... That's why... [23:14] * Vicki suddenly doubles over and screams. [23:14] Hahahaha! It's working! [23:14] No. [23:14] I'm... regaining control! [23:14] * Chelsea brings her sword up in preparation to strike. "I'm sorry, Hikaru, but... say goodbye to Vicki." [23:14] Vicki! [23:14] ( Talking... like... comicbook character... ) [23:14] * Shigeru thinks to Mei frantically. ~Shove her off!~ [23:15] Vicki. I'm sorry. [23:15] * Mei-Yin pushes Vicki off the edge. [23:15] * Chelsea blinks. [23:15] NO! [23:15] * Vicki falls, shreiking all the way. [23:15] *** Vicki is now known as Kirby2 [23:15] *** Greg has joined #BESM [23:15] * Eoi turns away from where Vicki went off, tears in his eyes. [23:15] * Mei-Yin falls to her knees crying. [23:16] * Hikaru staggers to the door as quickly as he can. [23:16] Damn it. Damn it all to hell. [23:16] * Shigeru runs forward, standing in front of Mei and facing the rest of the group. [23:16] God DAMN IT. I'm so fucking tired of this. [23:16] * Chelsea sighs and shakes her head. "Pointless. Fucking pointless." [23:16] We can't go a few days without someone dying, can we? [23:16] * Hikaru attempts to descend the staircase. [23:16] No. We can't. Check on Hikaru, please? [23:16] * Chelsea blinks. "I... I'd better make sure that killed... him." [23:17] * Chelsea goes after Hikaru. "Done." [23:17] Yeah.. [23:17] [Hikaru gets to the bottom, with Chelsea. [23:17] ] [23:17] * Shigeru looks at Eoi, decides he's not a threat, and kneels next to Mei. [23:17] I.. is she ok Shiggy? [23:17] * Hikaru exits the church, and tries to find where Vicki fell. [23:17] ( Whee! Mei-Yin took her first life. Let's see how she feels about it. ) [23:17] * Shigeru shakes his head. "She'll never be okay again," he says distantly. [23:17] *** Kirby2 is now known as Leifang [23:18] *** Kirby is now known as Mei-Fang [23:18] ( Shut the hell up, Dem. ) [23:18] ( She calls Shiggy on the CODEC, they have a small conversation and it is never mentioned again. ) [23:18] *** Leifang is now known as Lei-Fang [23:18] ( Sorry, sorry. ) [23:18] ... [23:18] Well shit. [23:18] * Chelsea follows after Hikaru. "Hikaru!" [23:18] ( Dude. Stop. Please. ) [23:18] * Hikaru doesn't listen. [23:18] [Chelsea and Hikaru find the spot, where Lei-Fang and Mei-Fang are busy doing something to Vicki] [23:19] WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! [23:19] * Shigeru gives Mei-Yin a hug and closes his eyes with a sigh. "I'm... sorry, Mei." [23:19] * Hikaru staggers over. [23:19] Come on, Lei! You've got to hurry. [23:19] LEAVE HER ALONE! [23:19] * Lei-Fang is crying. "I'm trying, sis! I'm trying!" [23:19] * Mei-Fang whirls around, facing Hikaru. "You want her to die?!" [23:19] ...y-you're not killing her? [23:20] * Hikaru stops. [23:20] * Chelsea walks up to Mei and Lei. "Can you get the other one out of her?" [23:20] "Tell me you can. Please." [23:20] * Mei-Fang turns around, placing an odd Chinese ward on her. "Idiot. I'm trying to save her." [23:20] I-I-I dunno. [23:20] * Lei-Fang doesn't look up; her hands are shaking as it is. [23:21] * Chelsea watches in silence. [23:21] I hope it works this time... [23:22] * Hikaru watches, hoping beyond hope... [23:22] * Mei-Fang stands up and clasps her hands in front of her chest, two fingers pointed upwards. She then starts chanting something in an odd Chinese dialect (which Chelsea doesn't understand). [23:22] * Mei-Yin just cries. [23:22] * Lei-Fang stands up and starts chanting as well. Different words. [23:23] * Hikaru prays. [23:24] * Mei-Fang finishes and pulls another ward from her sleeve. Lei-Fang does likewise. They nod, and toss the wards at Vicki's head] [23:24] ( ... stupid bracket. ) [23:24] Vicki... [23:25] [Hikaru and Chelsea can feel a powerful energy struggling to stay within Vicki] [23:25] ( Damn. I need to get me some of those Chinese Wards. ) [23:25] ( Heh. ) [23:25] ( You can get them at Wild Bill's :P ) [23:25] ...Kami-sama...please...let me have Vicki back... [23:26] ( Unfortunately, Hikaru prayed to the wrong god. Oops. :P ) [23:26] [A powerful force flees from Vicki's body, and disappates.] [23:27] * Mei-Fang falls to her knees. "Whew. I hate doing that." [23:27] Did...did it work? [23:27] Which one left? [23:27] * Lei-Fang just collapses @_@ [23:27] It did. But you'd better... get her to a hospital soo...*snore* [23:28] Sounds like a plan. [23:28] Thank you! Thank you so much! [23:28] Zzzzz... [23:28] * Eoi walks down the stairs, leaving Shiggy and Mei alone. [23:28] Can...can you carry her? I don't think I can. [23:28] I can try. [23:28] * Chelsea does that. [23:29] [Chelsea succeeds, since she's totally unhurt :P] [23:29] (^_^_v) [23:29] * Shigeru hugs Mei-Yin. He's crying now, too. [23:29] "Alright. Does anyone know where the nearest hospital is?" [23:30] ( Chelsea says aloud to the darknes... :P ) [23:30] ...no. [23:30] ( Miyu's got Healing! ) [23:30] ( Pity she ain't there ) [23:30] * Eoi walks outside the church and tries to find the others to see how Hikaru is holding up. [23:30] ( Point. ) [23:30] Eoi! [23:30] [Eoi succeeds] [23:31] 'lo Chel. [23:31] How's Hikaru? [23:31] The wondertwins exorcised the necromancer, but Vicki's in bad shape. [23:31] She's alive? [23:31] We need to get her to a hospital, pronto. [23:31] We've got to get her to a hospital. [23:31] Don't suppose you have a cel phone? [23:32] Not me. [23:32] Yes, I do. It's in my right pocket, next to a dagger and a wallet. And no funny stuff. [23:32] Call an ambulance then! [23:33] (She's holding Hikaru, baka.) [23:33] ( Oh. Duh. ((_^; ) [23:33] ( No she's not! ) [23:33] Er, I have my hands full, just at the moment. [23:33] (Er, Vicki. My bad. ^_^) [23:33] *** Demotafk has joined #BESM [23:33] * Hikaru digs around for the cel phone. [23:33] * Eoi reaches in and gets the cel phone, making sure to do no funny stuff, as he doesn't want a knife in his eye. [23:33] *** Miyu has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) [23:34] [Hikaru and Eoi fight over Chelsea's back pocket] [23:34] ( ... ) [23:34] (Is Vicki wearing anything to keep the rain off of her?) [23:34] ( ... ) [23:34] [It's very funny to watch ^_^] [23:34] * Hikaru withdraws his hand. [23:34] Boys? That's a no-no. [23:34] ( She's wearing clothes, yes :P ) [23:34] ( Hey, I was making sure to do NO funny stuff. ) [23:34] * Eoi calls for an ambulance. [23:34] ( Amusing, then :P ) [23:35] (Okay, are they the kind of clothes to not get soaked in the rain? :P) [23:35] ( Probably not, nope. ) [23:35] Thank Chel. [23:35] ( You know Vicki :P ) [23:35] * Eoi puts the phone back very carefully. [23:35] * Chelsea shakes her head. [23:35] I'm going to go tell Shiggy and Mei that Vicki isn't dead. [23:35] ( What's your cover story? ) [23:35] ( She fell. ) [23:36] ( -I- need a cover story. :P ) [23:36] ... [23:36] Alright. C'mon, Hikaru, let's get her to the curb. [23:36] Right. [23:36] * Eoi goes back into the church and up the steps. [23:36] * Chelsea carries Vicki slowly towards the curb. [23:36] [Chel and Hikaru make it to the curb, leaving the twins lying face down asleep in the pouring rain. Some thanks they got :P] [23:37] Shiggy. Mei. Vicki's alive. And Quing's nice relatives managed to exorcise her. [23:37] * Shigeru looks at Eoi blankly. "Alive." [23:37] Alive. [23:37] You're serious. [23:37] * Eoi nods. [23:37] W-what? [23:37] We...we should do something for the twins, too. [23:37] An Ambulance is on the way as we speak. [23:37] And she doesn't have a necromancer stuck in her. [23:37] Nope. No necromancer. [23:37] You're sure. [23:37] But... I... [23:38] Chel said so. [23:38] * Chelsea sets Vicki down gently. "How're you holding up, Hikaru?" [23:38] *** Mei-Fang has quit IRC (Quit: ) [23:38] *** Lei-Fang is now known as Paramedics [23:39] * Shigeru squeezes Mei's shoulder. "I know. C'mon." He stands up and offers Mei a hand. [23:39] ...I'm...in pain. But Vicki's okay, and that's what matters to me. [23:39] * Mei-Yin stands up, slowly. [23:39] [Before long, an ambulance comes skidding to a halt.] [23:39] I... b-but... [23:39] * Chelsea nods. [23:39] * Shigeru looks at Mei-Yin for a long moment. [23:39] Mei. You did what she asked. And look, it turned out for the be.. the better. [23:39] * Paramedics jump out, and hurriedly load Vicki onto the van. They mumble about her condition. You can make out "Looks like a broken leg." and stuff... [23:40] * Paramedics also attempt to load Hikaru on. [23:40] * Shigeru nods slowly. [23:40] * Mei-Yin starts crying again. [23:40] * Hikaru allows himself to be loaded on. [23:40] * Chelsea pats Hikaru on the shoulder before he's loaded. [23:40] Mei. Mei, we got lucky. [23:41] * Paramedics say a few nice comforting things to Chelsea and drive off. Zoom! [23:41] *** Paramedics is now known as Kirby [23:41] * Shigeru thinks to Eoi, ~How did her dad leave? He wasn't going to without a fight.~ [23:41] ( Visit Miyu! ;_; ) [23:41] * Chelsea turns and walks back towards the Wondertwins to make sure they're not drowning or anything. [23:41] It was the Wonder Twins. [23:41] [You can actually hear Mei-Fang snoring over the rain] [23:41] * Mei-Yin stumbles over to the camera and sits down. [23:42] That's all I got from Chel. Apparantly, they had a technique that worked. [23:42] I see. [23:42] * Mei-Yin picks up the camera and stops recording. [23:43] * Shigeru sighs at Mei, then walks over and sits next to her. [23:43] * Mei-Yin rewinds back to where she put the camera down and starts watching. [23:43] * Chelsea shakes her head and smirks. She checks on them, and props them up against each other so they're not lying face-down. She then goes back up the tower. [23:43] *** Calculus has left IRC [23:44] [Chelsea succeeds! You guys have been getting a lot of successes tonight :P] [23:44] * Shigeru watches with her. "Mei, don't do this to yourself." [23:44] ...I was going to cut her throat. [23:44] So was I. [23:44] * Mei-Yin points to the knife as she begins to raise it on the small screen. [23:44] * Shigeru nods. [23:44] I was, too. [23:44] So were me and Chelsea. [23:45] * Mei-Yin watches as she pushes Vicki over the edge, and then rewinds. [23:45] [Lightning flashes as the video plays that part] [23:45] I read how in a book once. [23:45] It seemed necessary, Mei. You had no way of knowing better. None of us did. [23:45] Did you really. [23:45] * Chelsea walks over and turns the video off. [23:45] You're supposed to draw quickly, pulling your hand around behind the neck, so you don't get blood on your hand. [23:46] * Shigeru nods. [23:46] I don't know why I remembered. [23:46] * Shigeru looks down at his hand, then fingers the bandages on his chest. "People are funny that way, I guess." [23:47] I think it was a fantasy novel. I dont' even know if it would really have worked. [23:48] I... he said he loved her. [23:48] Yeah. He did. [23:48] That should have worked. It always does in the stories, and the manga, and even the anime. [23:48] If only life were that simple. [23:49] ( Not always. Sometimes it's the last thing they say before they die :P ) [23:49] * Shigeru leans back against the wall, looking into the rain. His eyes unfocus. "Things... don't really work that way. Not always." [23:50] Why did you tell me to push her? [23:51] ( It's more dramatic that way. ) [23:51] Because. Because, if he got control, I- [23:51] * Chelsea digs herself out of her musings. "Vicki and Hikaru are on their way to the hospital. The nice paramadic was optimistic about her condition. Why don't we go somewhere dry and continue this discussion?" [23:52] * Shigeru draws a shuddering breath, ignoring Chelsea. "I was... gonna k- destroy him. Completely. And Vicki too." [23:52] If... if me and Chel hadn't tripped.. [23:52] We mighta killed her.. not even knowing Vicki was still in there. [23:53] * Chelsea shakes her head sadly, turns around, and begins walking back down the stairs. [23:53] ( Geez. I go and do something nice like save har and you guys angst so much it makes me think I woulda been better off killing her :P ) [23:53] ( No shit. c_c; ) [23:54] (They're a tough crowd.) [23:54] ( Heh. Wait and see what Miyu's reaction would be when she sees everyone return without Hikaru. [23:54] ( This can end anytime... ) [23:55] ( "Hey Miyu, howya doin. Oh, we had to behead Calvin's corpse. Hope you don't mind." ) [23:55] ( Well, Hikaru's happy, at least. :P ) [23:55] * Eoi sighs and follows Chelsea's lead. [23:55] ( You never found out who the other one was. ) [23:55] * Shigeru makes no effort to move. [23:55] (Calvin was probably the more shocking one.) [23:55] * Mei-Yin does not move, either. [23:55] ( Head back to MC room! ;_; ) [23:55] (He never really stays gone. ;P) [23:55] ( And what did the other one look like? ) [23:55] ( Calvin, luckily, was about as competent as Lei-Fang :P ) [23:56] ( Hell, watch him end up back again in like.. 4 sessions. ) [23:56] ( "Now, it's Cyber-Calvin!" ) [23:56] ( O.o ) [23:56] ( /me notes to use that... ) [23:56] ( Bio-Calvin! ) [23:56] ( Heh. First he's around, then his brother who looks like him comes by, then he comes back as zombie, and in 9 months, you'll get a chibi- Calvin. ) [23:56] ( Then we get a clone of Calvin. Then Smorfy-Calvin in 9 months. ) [23:56] ( What if it's a girl? :P ) [23:56] ( Then we get Calvin-chan. ) [23:57] ( Chibi-Calvin-chan. ) [23:57] ( Anyhow, you guys wanna keep going? ) [23:57] ( I wanna talk to the group! ;_; ) [23:57] ( I'd like to sleep actually. ) [23:57] (I'm good either way.) [23:57] (Either way is fine. ^_^) [23:57] ( Same here. ) [23:58] ( Did Eoi REALLY believe that was just a sideways elevator thing? @_@ ) [23:58] ( Eoi is smart. Just Dense. Very Very Dense. ) [23:58] ( Hee. ) [23:58] ( I'm gonna end it. ) [23:58] [Session End]
