[SESSION START] * Norii flounces in. * Miyu yawns, and is, as she once was, sleeping at her desk. Hi, guys! What's up? 'lo Norii. It's been a while since we've seen you. * Miyu wakes up... Vicki is a zombie, Miyu is pregnant and nobody is dead just yet. Oi. Norii. It's been a while How about with you? I got waaaay behind in Microbial. * Miyu blushes and sorta sinks into her seat... The prof locked me in the lab until I finished. I got way behind in getting laughed at by the universe. Thankfully, it trapped me in a girl's body and all is well. * Hikaru enters the room. "Hi. * Norii notices Eoi. ...uh, Kimiko? Hiya Hikaru. No. Eoi. Ne, how's Vicki doing? ...uh-oh. Is she, uh, still in there? No. She's in my body. Getting better. She won't be walking anywhere for a while, though. * Norii blinks. * Chelsea enters, carrying a can of Dr. Pepsi. "Good afternoon, people." She's cured. She is also in my body. * Miyu nods... 'lo Chel. Whoa. Slow down, folks. Hiya Chelsea. ... alright. Let's slow things down a bit. So where's Eoi's... body? * Miyu finally parses something from earlier. @_@ Kimiko is off somewhere. 'Lo, Norii. Have they told you all the news yet? Never mind. I'm sure Kimiko's off getting in trouble. Probably having sex with random guys. ... wait. So Vicki's a zombie, but she's getting better? Now what happened to Vicki? * Hikaru twitches. "...she's not a zombie" What? ... someone explain? ^^; Vicki is actually a zombie-thing. Her father was a necromancer and brought her back from the dead. So, she was a KINDA zombie. ... It's funky. So she is... dead? No. No. She's alive. * Mei-Yin walks in bearing her usual stack of lunches. She's alive, but undead. Kinda. Hello, everybody. ... Funky. * Eoi stares at the weird girl. "Uh. Do we know you?" Sorry I'm late, I wanted to bring enough lunches. She's resurrected. It's simple enough. * Mei-Yin smiles sunnily at Eoi. * Miyu blinks. But she's hurt or something? Don't worry about it, Eoi. You'll hurt your head if you think about it too hard. Alrighty then. Hm. Ressurected... * Hikaru turns to Norii. "Her father took over her body, and she fell off the church we were fighting on." ( Good old Eoi. Dense as a brick and he doesn't have any problems with it. ) She's in the hospital now. * Mei-Yin sets down an oversized lunch in front of Miyu and then goes around handing lunches to everybody else. So she's dead again. Or not. [Nobody knows who Mei-Yin is, of course :P] * Chelsea drinks some more Dr. Pepsi. No. She survived. Speaking of survived, why are you still here Miyu? * Miyu blinks. Uh, what's this lunch? * Eoi continues to wonder about the odd girl, but figures there is no problem with it. * Norii looks around. * Miyu blinks. No. She survived, and the Fang twins excorsised her father from her. It's just the classroom. So... she's in the hopital. How bad is it? Broken leg and three broken ribs. She'll be fine. Yes, but.. shouldn't you be.. resting or somethin'? And the father? Gone for good, hopefully? Keep in mind, we tend to get attacked by supernatural demons from hell. Probably not too safe to hang out with us, y'know? ... well, I guess. ( Or a TIGER will eat you. ) * Miyu nods... ( I thought it was a lobster ) It's okay, Eoi. You don't have to worry about me. He's in hell where he belongs, hopefully. ... I suppose you have a point. Even though I don't think I'm far enough in to have it detected by normal means... I mean, nothing personal, but.. y'know. That works. * Miyu frowns. * Norii turns to Miyu. Anyway, there's something I need to tell you guys. I just... knew. As naturally as I learned how to fly... * Eoi blinks at Hikaru. Now, what are *you* talking about? Hm? What? You're pregnant too? ... What? * Mei-Yin cracks up. .. * Miyu baps Eoi lightly * Chelsea snickers. No. I'm...I'm leaving the club. Hey, he could be! Weirder stuff has happened. ... You're what? * Miyu blinks at Hikaru. * Chelsea frowns. "You are? Why?" * Mei-Yin blinks. Wait! Slow down already! Too much information! Why? * Norii falls into a nearby chair. ... alright, should we slow down, and begin this again for Norii? Great? You and Miyu at the same time. In chronological order? Uh. Ok. ( MC, where everyone talks all at once :P ) We all got togther and Nakamura told us about this ghost... or is that too far back? I get Eoi and Kimiko and Vick. ( Hee. JUst like Rane ) What's with Miyu? She's pregnant. With Calvin's kid. [...] I'm... having a baby. ( My thoughts exactly. ) [...] * Chelsea nods at Norii's statement. "Yes, that's about what I said, too." Yes, that is amazingly fugged up. I'm not trying to think too hard about it. * Norii starts twitching. ... Norii? ((_* Oh, and she wants to take the kid to meet Calvin's MOM. Won't that just be a HOOT. @_@ ... Okay. Okay. Pregnancy is perfectly normal. ( Norii. DIE. ((_^ ) I can handle this. Sure. The father may be dead, but I'm sure this happened BEFORE he died. Right. Please say this happened before he died. .... you want to cuddle the baby, don't you? @_@ ( ... ) So... you're leaving the club? ( [...] ) ... ( /me SMACKS Eoi. ) * Mei-Yin kicks Eoi in the shin. Ow. Why the hell is everyone hitting me today? * Miyu smacks Eoi. * Hikaru patiently waits his turn. That was horribly insensitive. * Chelsea whaps Eoi in the back of the head. Ow. [A ceiling tile falls on Eoi] ... dammit, Eoi. ( Boy does he deserve that. ) ( WAI! ) ( I couldn't resist ^^ ) * Norii blinks. "And who are you? ...I understand why you kicked him, but who are you?" I'm a friend. Don't think about it too hard. Ow. Jeez. Stop hitting me already. ... alright, so what last topics do we need to address? ...I have to think about it. Trust no one, remember? Aside from why Hikaru's leaving ...and Hikaru's leaving? He just said so a minute ago So.. Hikaru and Miyu are leaving.. and Vicki is in the hospital. Oy, people are dropping like flies. ((_@ ( Nobody heard him amidst the chatter :P ) ( Argh. ) ( Ignore the hair. ) ( Need soda. ) ( Heh ) * Norii looks over at Hikaru. * Hikaru looks at the ground. "After what happened to Vicki, I want to be able to be there to look after her. She's badly hurt, not to mention the trauma of being possessed by her father." Why? * Miyu nods at Hikaru. ... So you're leaving to take care of Vicki? * Norii pouts slightly. And if anything else happens, I want to be able to protect her. Well, that's reasonable. Kinda sweet actually. * Chelsea nods. *** ghost-of-kai has joined #besm I suppose that's pretty reasonable. We'll... miss you. I...I wish I could finish this whole thing with you guys. Get rid of Quentin and all. But I don't think I can. I'm sorry. I hope Vicki gets better soon. So.. Miyu, Hikaru and Vicki are leaving... .... I suppose I should officially leave, also. ^^; ... don't suppose I could hang out with you and Vicki, Hikaru? ( Miyu has a secret crush on Hikaru!... or on Vicki. ) Well, Vicki hasn't been around that much... but then, I haven't either, this last week. * Chelsea frowns. "That leaves us with awfully few people." ( Nah. She just needs someone to hang out with ) I don't see why you couldn't. But I'm not sure what Vicki would think...she's still kinda mad at you guys. Don't worry. I'm sure replacements will probably come to meet you guys soon, Chelsea. ( ... ) * Chelsea shivers, and doesn't know why. After Quing died, Chelsea joined up pretty much right after. ... ( [...] ) ( Dangit, stop breaking the fourth wall. ) But...I hope that after this stuff is over, that we can still be friends. ( Just as Miyu says that, three guys in tights fall through the roof. "Replacement superheros, HOOOOO!" ) ... ( ... ) ( o_O; ) * Mei-Yin would SLAP Miyu right now, if she weren't pregnant. ( I... have got to see that. ) ( *snerk* ) ... yeah... I feel bad about upsetting Vicki so much. I'll miss you, Miyu - you're a great teammate in a fight. * Miyu goes from joking mood to serious-ish again * Miyu nods... Thanks. Drop by my apartment from time to time, eh? We'll miss all of you. Make sure you don't get yourselves killed or something. If you need help, call. Sure, Norii. Just gimme the address. That's what the Mystery Club is for, I think. * Miyu nods. "Thanks" ^_^ I'll miss you too, Hikaru - though I guess Vicki won in the end. Bleah - I never get the guy. * Chelsea nods. "Take care, and all that." * Hikaru blushes a bit at Norii's statement. Thanks...all of you. ( There's still Shig to compete for :P ) I...I should get going now. Beat Quentin for me, okay? It's been great hanging out with all of you. ( They're too scared of Mei-Yin to try. ) * Norii is too neurotic to have a stable romantic relationship. There really isn't any hope. S'long you two. Don't let the horrible hell-demons get you down. Make sure to write. ( ) ( /me tries to imagine someone scared of Mei-Yin and fails miserably. ) Where're you going, Hikaru? * Chelsea grins. "Sure thing, Hikaru." Back to the hospital. Ah. ( Hey, Eoi is scared of Mei-Yin. She comes in, gives him lunch and hits him. It's like school all over again. ) Hang on a sec. I wanna visit Vicki too Heh. Why dodn't you go freak out the doctors, Miyu? But I've got something to tell the otheres first... Okay, I'll wait. Kaira... Let me guess. You're having twins? You know of a hidden demon from hell who's out to get us? You've got my attention... ( That guy from the tournament said he'd be back :P ) ( *whistles innocently* ) .... if you see her again, let her know I'll go with her without a fight. I don't think she's thinking in those terms anymore, but sure. Uh. Ok. Sure thing. We'll let her know. She'll probably kick our asses anyway, but we'll let her know. ( Just what campaign is this, anyhoo? ) ( Mine. ) ( What, not who's.) All I ask is that I can raise my child the way I see fit. And that I be able to visit the parents who raised me at least weekly. [The phone politely waits for Hikaru and Miyu to leave before ringing] * Eoi answers Get the phone, Eoi. Hello? ( It didn't ring yet :P ) ( Bye bye! ) ( Hee. ) Bye guys. See you again soon, I hope. ... and don't forget to help find information about Sarah Fort. S'long guys. And maybe even talk to her, if you think it's alright. Rightrightsure. Later, you two. Alright. See you guys... ...no, that's the one thing I won't help you with. Anything else, but not that. * Miyu waves to the group. * Hikaru exits the room. Seeya! Stay alive, alright? * Miyu follows Hikaru [Hikaru and Miyu leave. On cue, the phone rings! ^^ ] *** Hikaru is now known as Yonjuuni Get the phone, Eoi. ( Of course, Miyu only THINKS she's having one kid. ) * Eoi grabs the phone. Hello? ( Wai. Phone ) ( ... Twin Miyu-Calvin children? ) *** Miyu is now known as DemoBaldursGate ( That's even scarier. ) ( Yes, it is. ) Hello, how can we help you? ( ... no. Just... no. @_@ ) ( Erk. ) ( Twin Smorfyforts? Ghastly. ) ( Smorfort! ) .. festival? What festival is this? ( Smorfyforts. A new breed of evil. ) * Chelsea blinks and looks up. * Norii has forgotten about Mei-Yin. Uh~huh.. Where is this exactly? Uh, no. Nakamura isn't here right now. Were we supposed to get an invatation or somethin'? ... Aw shit. Alright, we'll be there soon. Sorry, nobody told us anything about this. Nakamura has been away for a while. * Chelsea frowns deeply. ( Hm. Sounds like Mystery Club is going back to its original function again. At least, for this session. ) We'll be there, we'll be there! ( I've stopped trying to predict. ) Just give us the address. Uh. OK. Thanks. See you soon. * Eoi hangs up. Wonderful. Apparantly, "Nakamura" forgot to tell us we are supposed to stop some demon from showing up at the Hatanaka shrine in the Miyako's suburbs. And we've got to get there by midnight. [Time: 3:30 PM] Oh, this is gonna be great. Oh, that's nice. Just wonderful! A-yup. ...and this isn't a trap in what way? We're down three members, this is most probably a trap and we've got a demon to fight! Delightful. Oh, and Shiggy isn't here either. Isn't this just fun. Geez. ( You know you love it :P ) ( We wouldn't want it any other way. ) ( Of course we do. ) ( Otherwise we would have fled screaming long ago. We're gluttons for punishment. ) ( Damn skippy. ) *** ghost-of-kai has left #besm ( Damn me. I have to stop websurfing while the game is going. ) Well, do we go? * Chelsea considers that. Of course we go. How could we possibly do anything else? Of course. It's our job. I wish Shiggy was here. Even if we are pawns in a game between powerful beings. I wish Shiggy was here too. Hell, I wish Hikaru and Miyu were still here. Me too, Norii. Me too. ( Only because there's no male characters present :P ) Not that he'd be much use in a fight... but still. Hell, while we're at it, I wish Calvin, Quing, Andrew and Jackie Chan were here. [The date, by the way, is June 1st] ( You forgot Kirby! What is Jackie Chan without Kirby? ) ( Amazingly Kickass. ) ( That's nice. What happens on June 1? ) So. Shall we go scout the place out well before we're supposed to be there? Or shall we just oblige whoever's laying this trap by walking into it at the appropriate time? It sure can't hurt to get there early. It can never hurt to get there early. Unless it does. In which case, Ow in advance. Be nice to talk to whoever Eoi had on the phone there. Yes, it would. He was rather rude. I wave my gun in his face. That might change his, uh attitude. Or not. *sigh* Works for me. Well, shall we be off? I say wr go. ( Or he might call the cops and you guys wind up in heaven again :P ) Subtle. ( Hey, he asked for our help... ) So, where and when shall we meet before setting out to the trap? Uh... that depends on how paranoid Eoi's being today, I guess. * Chelsea turns to Eoi. "So, Eoi. How paranoid are you today?" I'll bike there of course. I might be able to make it before midnight. ... ... I'm not paranoid. Just being safe. Right. Paranoid. No, Paranoid is thinking aliens are always out to get you. We need to get him a new cycle. Actually, that's not a bad assumption. * Chelsea shrugs. "Eh, I suppose I could buy him one." I'd need a favor in return, tho. Eoi, you still haven't taken me to talk to your grandfather. Hey, once I manage to save up the money, I'll get one. It'll only take.. like.. a coupla months. I'll chip in a little, but... geez. Wasn't the old one insured? ( Mweheh. Eoi still doesn't know how he got to the church. ^_^ ) ( I have no idea. It should have been, but I guess that I needed to buy that seperatly. ) Uh. No. ^_^; I'll take you to talk to my grandfather once we finish this Chel. I need to talk to him anyway. ...or we could arrange some psychotherapy. That might be just as useful. [Time: 4:00 P.M.] ( So we're going, what? ) So, once again. Where and when do we meet? Seriously, I might make it in time. No problems, right? ^_^; The Hatanaka shrine in the Miyako's suburbs, at midnight. Since he's being stupid, on-time delivery. Right. Perhaps I'll scout ahead on my own, then. Unless you want to show up with me ahead of time... Sounds good to me. Okay, let's eat somewhere, then head over. I better start out now. It's a LONG ride. So go. Works for me. I'll need to stop by my place to load up on sharop pointy things, too. Hmm. And ammunition. Well, s'long then. ...I need to learn hypnosis or something. * Eoi sighs and starts the hellish ride to the place. Later, Eoi. [And he's off! :P] * Chelsea shakes her head. "That boy has all the mental capability of lawn furniture." * Chelsea stands and stretches. "So. Shall we get going?" * Norii smiles. "Sure." * Mei-Yin stands. ( Going where, exactly? ) * Chelsea notices Mei-Yin for the first time, again. "Hm? You coming too?" Yeah, I think so. ( Aren't you listening? ) ( To get something to eat, and to each of our places to gather various combat supplies? ) * Chelsea nods. "Alright." ( Yes, I am. You people keep changing your minds so much that I wind up not knowing. ) Hmmmm... ( Meanwhile, Poor Eoi has to bike. Poor poor Eoi. ((_^; ) Wait. ( Who's changing their mind? ) I'll meet you two there. ( I am. ) Bye! * Mei-Yin scampers out the door. * Chelsea shrugs. "Whatever. C'mon, Norii." * Norii refuses to feel sorry for Eoi. * Norii comes on. ( O.o ) ( /me promptly h-parses that. ) [And thus they went to get something to eat.] ( mmm..... eat. ) ( Ked goes to get something from the freezer. ) *** Yonjuuni has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) [Yum. It was tasty. Then they went to their homes and got stuff, then they got on the train] ( Choo-choo! ) [2 1/2 hours later, they arrive at Miyako.] ( Good god. Eoi's going to make it how? ) ( Gradually. ) ( He's coming in a more-or-less straight line. ) ( He's the little priest that could. ) ( He's the little _moron_ that could. ;P ) ( Or he the supernatural power to ride a bike REALLY WELL. ) ( Well, that too. ) [Place: Miyako. Time: 7:00 P.M.] * Chelsea glances around some. [Chelsea sees a city.] * Chelsea nods approvingly. Looks like a city, eh? ( /me snickers at that. ) Yup. That's a good sign, see. Really? As opposed to it looking like a blasted wasteland ruled by some malevolent demon? Yes. So. Where's this temple. An excellent question. [Time: 7:10 P.M.] * Chelsea looks around for signs saying "Temple this way", "Festival this way", or for a local to interrogate. * Norii finds a phone booth, with a phone book, with a map. [As a matter of fact, Chelsea sees two of those things: a local and a sign for the festival.] * Chelsea yawns. [Norii finds a map.] * Norii tries to figure out how to get to the address. * Chelsea considers the sign for the festival. (Does it show a map or give directions?) ( *Eoi bikes for hours on end. Poor stupid fool.* ) ( /me returns with ice crema. Wai. ((_^ ) [The temple is located on a mountain a few blocks down] I found a map. The temple is that way. [The sign gives directions to the temple AND to a good parking lot] It sure is. What's this festival thingy? * Norii eyes the sign, for clues. [Sign: Miyako June Festival! Located at the Hatanaka Shrine (turn left on Kirby Ave.) Parking available!] June festival. What's so special about June eludes me, but it could be because I'm new hwere. Aparently, there is parking available. "Miyako"? Yes. That would be where we are now, I believe. ( Ked looks back up. Oh, yeah. ) * Norii shrugs. Shall we? Let's. * Norii goes. * Chelsea heads t'wards the temple. ( Don't y'all get killed without me! ) *** Yonjuuni has joined #besm ( Shucks, we'll try not to. ) ( Stupid mIRC. ) [Time: 7:30 P.M. Norii and Chelsea make it to the base of the mountain. Several booths are set up, and a big "Welcome to the Miyako June Festival!" Sign hangs over head. A few people are milling about, but it doesn't look like the festival started yet.] ( What sort of festival does this look like? ) ( A traditional Japanese festival. A number of people are in kimono ) Oh, fun. Mmm. Pity I'm not dressed for the occasion. * Mei-Yin sidles up and runs her fingers down Chelsea's spine to get her attention. I look awful in a Kimono. ( Knock some of them out and steal their clothes. ) * Chelsea jumps and spins, looking for whoever did that. * Mei-Yin stands right there, in plain sight, and waves. * Norii is startled by Chelsea jumping around wildly. Who! Wha! Hey? * Chelsea notices Mei-Yin and frowns. "You know, there are ...better ways of trying to get my attention." Maybe, but they're not as fun. What'd she do? I've been checking around. There isn't anything particularly suspicious that I've seen. * Chelsea shakes her head. "Just, don't do it again. Please." Uh... except for you, apparently. Who are you, anyway? * Mei-Yin blinks at Norii. * Chelsea just accepts that and nods. "Alright. Have you checked the temple proper yet?" "I'm Luke Skywalker. I'm here to rescue you." * Chelsea smirks. * Norii blinks right back. ( *snicker* ) Actually, I'm Mei-Yin, though you won't remember me soon. Don't worry about it too much. I'm sorry, Mario. The Princess is in another castle. ( ... ) And I was about to go check the temple proper. ( What is with all the American pop culture references anyway? ) * Chelsea nods. "Then let us do that." ( Mei-Yin's got nothing better to do with her time. ) Uh, yeah. Why should we trust you? Actually, I'll go alone. You guys can go up, but don't expect to see me. * Chelsea rolls her shoulders. * Mei-Yin winks at Norii. You shoudln't. * Mei-Yin scampers off into the festival. ( Dangit, Norii is too suspicious for someone she doesn't know hanging around not to bother her. ) ( Stupid over-the-top disadvantages... ) *** Yonjuuni is now known as Young_man * Chelsea shrugs. "Come on, let's go take a look around the shrine." * Young_man approaches Chelsea. Um...excuse me... * Chelsea eyes Young_man. Doesn't that bug you? Someone you've never met doing that? Yes? ( Is he cute? ) Are you from the, uh, Mystery Club? Please tell me I've got the right person. ( Yes, he is. ) Yes, we are. That's right. * Norii smiles real big. Who are you? ( Sai. Good to see you man! ) Whew. I was worried I had the wrong people. I tried to catch you at the University, but you left just as I was getting there. Oh, uh, my name's Sai Hayashi. I'm a friend of Saki's. *** Young_man is now known as Sai ( Run. Run while you still can. ) * Chelsea nods. "Alright." ( Arrrgh! Who's Saki? ) So, what can we do for you? ( Someone they met a few chapters back. ) ( A malicious demon-girl. ) She doesn't really seem to care about the problems you guys are facing, but...I want to help you, if you'll let me. Yeah, wanna show us around the festival? ( Brett's TSoaC character. ) * Chelsea nods. "Alright. We could certainly use some help right now." * Sai blinks at Norii. "Uh, I don't know my way around the festival." ( What's to know? It's a straight line :P ) ( Oh, and by the way...) Okay, then we can explore it together! ( I'm glad Sai survived. I liked him. ) * Chelsea rolls her eyes. ( I warned him to run. ) * Sai is slightly on the short side, with longish blond hair and green eyes. He's wearing jeans and a grey t-shirt. Er, okay. You aren't here just for the festival, though, are you? * Norii grabs him by the shoulders. "C'mon, we were just about to check out the temple!" Of course not. We're here to take care of an unfriendly guest expected to show up later tonight. No, of course not, silly. * Sai nods. "Alright." * Chelsea leans in to Sai's ear and whispers something real quick. Hey, I claimed him first! * Sai blinks, then looks at Norii a bit worriedly. * Chelsea leans back out. "Yes, I know." Poo. So, let's all go to the temple. I've lost more cute guys in this club... Let's go. * Norii drags Sai along. * Sai allows himself to be dragged, for now. * Chelsea shakes her head sadly and follows. [They head up the many, many steps on the side of the large hill/small mountain, to the shrine at the top.] [There, a 40-ish priest is smoking a pipe and sweeping the grounds.] *** Lobster is now known as Priest ( What was the name of the guy we were supposed to meet? ) ( Did you even ASK Eoi? :P ) ( ^^ ) ( We sure didn't. ) ( Do we have to RP *everything*? ) ( We didn't ask the addy, either. ) ( He told you. ) ( I told you. Thrice. ) ( I'm off to get Iced Cream. I'll hopefully be back in time for me to show up. ) ( Uh, not that I see. ) ( Apparantly, "Nakamura" forgot to tell us we are supposed to stop some demon from showing up at the Hatanaka shrine in the Miyako's suburbs. ) ( There is one of them. ) ( ...hardly counts. ) ( ... ) ( #2 The Hatanaka shrine in the Miyako's suburbs, at midnight. ) ( Looks like you were right, he only said it twice. ) ( Pause ) ( I don't want to get in a big argument over sematics. Did we get the name or not? ) ( No ) ( BRB. ) ( ...ugh. I [hate] this IRC client. Gives me these cute icons instead of normal emoticons. -_-;; ) ( O.o ) ( ((_^ ) ( There's a little sign hanging there that say 'brb' on it. x_x ) ( ... ) ( Burn it. ) ( Damn you, mIRC! Connect already! ) ( Why not use mIRC? ) ( Because it's not connecting for some retarded reason. ) ( Reinstall it. ) ( /me looks at the emoticon menu and wonders how they display on the screen of people using a PROPER IRC client. ) ( Try some :P ) ( Oh, okay, they just show up as little tags. ) ( Hopefully Ard will delete this big blob of OOC text. :P ) ( /me wonders what's keepin' Chelsea. ) * Norii consumes... Yogurt! ( Kirby-pink, even. ) ( /me wonders how people make the 'not' mark. ) ( Hmmm? ) ( the mark that looks like a logical negation. ) (Back.) ( Is that the really tiny 'o' thing? ) != ? ( some people use it in place of the '-' in -_- ) ( Unpause ) Excuse me. Are you the man who called Mystery Club this afternoon? * Mei-Yin starts wandering around the temple now. * Priest looks up. "Huh. Ya finally showed." Eoi will get here later. * Chelsea glances around. Yer a bit early, though. * Norii shrugs. Thing do'n't come out 'til midnight. We wanted to find out what was going on. Whaddya mean? Same thing as usual. What *is* going on? Din' Nakamura tell ya about the Miyako demon? * Norii tries to remember any such thing. ( Does it take the form of a cat sometimes? A tiger? ) ( Nope ) He somehow contrived to forget about that. ( Isn't that Miako? :P ) ( Yep. ) Well, wait. He might have mentioned it, but not in any detail. ( Dear god. We have to fight all of Demota's old characters! ) A couple of years ago, that would have been. * Priest mumbles some curses under his breath. * Priest is non-Japanese, by the way. * Sai thinks, and tries to remember if he's heard of such a demon. He seemed like a sen'sable person. But he din' tell ya? He's not... been himself of late. Nakamura's been... out of town, lately. Hm. * Sai sideglances at Chelsea and Norii, frowning at their response. ( Yeah, sh.. HE's been chilling in Heav.. ENGLAND. Right. ) ( He's currently at a... very important chess match. ) Sorry t' sound rude an' all, but this is a 'portant matter. ( Chelsea: *snerk* ) Don't trouble yourself over it. Could you tell us about the demon? And I'm sorry if we sound suspicious, but there have been a lot of weird things happening around us lately. The more you an tell us the better. Shure. Come's out e'ery three years 'r so. Dang thing's differen' e'ery time. * Chelsea frowns. ( Ked thinks he sees what's coming. ) That's odd. Is it really the same creature, or different demons sent sequentially? The way we work it is, you M'stry Club fight's it, an' when yer done an' it stops movin', I seal it up for ano'er three years. So we're here just to put it down/ Dun' 'no'. Nakamura said 't wasn' a demon 't all, but some kinda o'er aragami. Yup. ( Aragami? ) Hmm. ( ...Blue Seed? ) Three years is all it'll stay sealed for, hm? Jus' like e'ery o'er year. Yup. ( Aragami is a real word :P ) ( That's nice. Does Norii know what it is? ) ( So, we'll have gratuitus panty shots and guys with neat finblades? Sweet. ) ( Does Sai, for that matter? ) ( Yup. Monster, essentially. ) Hmm. Why is it here? Is there some kind of story behind it? Poin' is, we gotta keep it shut up tight, 'r it'll cause trouble. ( Sure, Eoi, you can show off your panties. :P ) Dun' 'no. Before my time. ( You want to see Eoi's panties? ) 'S been here a while, tho' *** Ardweden has joined #BESM * Chelsea nods. ( ARD! ) ( Ard! ) (I'm on a server. ^^) ( Hi Ard! ) But why the festival? ( Ard! ) Master tol' me how ta handle 'im; who ta call 'n' such. "Master"? Well, the festival's here 'cause 'f the shrine. Is he around? Nah. Poor guy died 'bout six years back. * Sai winces. * Chelsea nods. Right, but why hold the festival on the day a dangerous monster is going to show up? C'incidence. Peoplea been holdin' it here fer years. What's the shrine for? Pro'aly been fightin' the thin' fer years, too. Well, use 'ta be a place o' prayers, way back when. These days, 's a thin' o' the past. Tradit'on, an' all. * Chelsea frowns. I know, but is there a reason why the shrine is located here? *** DemoBaldursGate is now known as Demota Yer guess 's 's good 's mine, girlie. What was this demon like the last time it showed up? * Priest takes out his pipe, holds it upside down, taps it to get the ash out, and starts smoking again. Like a bull, sor'a, but big, wit' a monkey's body an' a chicken's win's. Does Mystery Club usually have a hard time defeating it? Din' las' time. T'at Kyo fella jus' set 't 'n fire, an' t'at was t'at. ( *snerk* ) ( Wai! Kyo! ) But Mast'r said t'at a few years back, the thin' killed three 'f 'em. ( ... Kyo was a member of MC? ) ( "set 't 'n fire"? Gah. ) ( Yup. :P ) ( They were the hell is he when we NEED him? ) 'Course, Mast'r liked t' joke... ( Getting the crap kicked out of him in RECBT? ) * Sai looks troubled. Anywho, there's some time b'fore the thin' shows. Festival 's pro'aly started. Might wan' ta look aroun'. Well, I suppose this is normal. Unknown, potentially deadly monsters, and we're understrength. * Chelsea turns to Sai. "So. How are you in a fight, Sai?" ( ... ) * Priest said that. Alright, I suppose. I have some decent combat spells. Yeah, got a sword hidden under there somewhere? * Sai blanches as soon as Norii says 'sword' * Chelsea nods. "Alright." Hmm. Well, we haven't had many effective mages... but then again, none of them have gotten killed. * Norii turns back to the priest. * Chelsea eyes Norii and shrugs. Can you show us where the thing will show up? Or is that random? * Priest laughs and gestures around. "Right 'ere. 'S why I'm sweepin' up." I'll do what I can. * Chelsea chuckles. Will the festival-goers be kept away? Yah. Good. They'll all be at the festival. And when they start hearing explosions and shooting...? This far up? Nah. Ne'er happened b'fore. Festival's too loud. Let's hope so. * Norii takes a closer look at the scene/terrain/shrine/etc. * Chelsea nods. *** Ardweden is now known as Shigeru Trus' me. You jus' worry 'bout the thin' itself, girlie. (Aww, what the heck.) ( Woot! ) * Shigeru walks up to the group. "Hi guys. Where's the monsters?" [The steps lead into a wide, stone ground left and right are the beginnings of woods, and in front is the shrine. Looks like a great place for a battle." ] ( Damnation. SHIGGY arrives before I do! ) Haven't arrived yet. * Chelsea turns. "Heya, Shig!" ( ((_; ) * Sai turns to regard the new arrival. (Ha!) (That's 'cause he has the sense to take the train.) Shiggy! Good to see you! ( Eoi has the sense to take the train. He's just scared to death of them. ) [Time: 8:45] * Chelsea walks up to Shig and ruffles his hair. "Hey, what kept ya'?" * Norii pulls Sai over to Shig. * Shigeru laughs. "Stuff." * Sai is pulled. This is Sai. He's going to be helping out. Yeah? Uh, hello. * Shigeru adjusts his glasses and gets a better look at Sai. "Hi. I'm Shigeru." Shig's not much of a fighter. He contributes with his good looks, and great mind. *wink* * Priest sweeps up the place. * Mei-Yin appears almost out of nowhere and glomps Shigeru. Shigeru! Gah! Who *is* this girl, Shig? * Shigeru somehow keeps from falling over. He blinks at Mei-Yin. * Chelsea snickers. Oh. This is Mei-Yin. You know her, but you don't remember her. Really. Huh? * Sai scratches his head. It's a long story. I just remember her 'cause I'm psychic. * Shigeru shrugs. But she's really on our team? * Eoi staggers in, painting and out of breath. "Ma...de it.." Yeah, she's really on our team. Hard to believe, I know. * Shigeru blinks at Eoi. "... I beat you here?" I need a new bike. It's hard to believe that I'm on the team? Okay...so Shigeru here is psychic...what do you guys do? And, actually, since I didn't get to asking before, what're your names? * Mei-Yin pouts. * Eoi looks at the two new folks. "Who the hell are you? What the hell is going on? Can I please sit down before I collapse?" How could I _not_ be on the team? * Shigeru smiles apologetically. "Just when they can't remember you." Sit down, Eoi. * Eoi sits down on the floor, attempting to catch his breath. Every group of heroes needs someone to chronicle their epic struggle against the forces of evil! * Mei-Yin POWERPOSES. [The festival is going on below. It's making a good deal of noise] * Shigeru rubs the back of his head. "She does that, too." You're Eoi? Oh, you're the one who Saki taught to negotiate! Sure, but if I don't know you... * Shigeru blinks. You know Saki? .. Y'r a friend of Saki's? Are you as nuts as she is? She's a friend of mine. Sort of. * Eoi looks at Mei. "So, whozis? And why's she powerposing?" * Chelsea chuckles. She a friend of Saki's too? This is Mei-Yin. You don't remember her, but she can cook. ...Saki's not exactly crazy. And I'm not, either. ( Everyone loves Saki! ) (They do?) S'can cook. Zats nice. ( They do? ) ( Oh, I love the OTHERSaki from TSoaC! ) ( Now there's a frightening idea for a sitcom. :P ) ( ShoujoSaki. Good fun for all. ) ( O.o ) (Hello long lost sister from Tokyo!) So, does anyone mind telling me what exactly is going on? * Chelsea turns to Sai. "Anyway. I'm Chelsea. I'm a fencer and just a bit of a mage, amongst other things." Well, apparently the Mystery Club is supposed to beat down a monster that appears once every three years. And once it's beaten down, the priest seals it. Didn't I introduce myself? Oh. How fun. Good to meet you, Chelsea. And as for... yeah, what Mei said. ( ...11pm is _not_ when one should be practicing electric guitar. ) ( ...I agree. ) Beat down a monster? Oh, good fun. I'm Norii - A little psychic, a little smart, and not that bad with a pistol. I think she's paranoid, too. Pleased to meet you, Norii. I'm Eoi. I'm a priest in training. I like naginatas. Happen to know where I could get a motorcycle cheap? She is. Hey, we've had enough weird shit. I'm just smart enough to be suspicious, that's all. Pleased to meet you, Eoi, and I know nothing about motorcycles. Saki would, though. ( Woo! Mini-session! ^^ ) * Chelsea chuckles. "Yes, and you make sure to let everyone know, too." Saki is scary. Maybe I can make one out of spare parts. ... No, zats a bad idea. It'll crash. * Sai blinks. "Scary?" She threatened to rip my lungs out if I told people about t.. something. I like my lungs, even if they hurt right now. Need 'em to breath. I see. Well, usually it isn't that hard to keep her from getting angry, as long as you don't do anything stupid...but that's not really important. * Sai sighs. So, when does this nice demon appear? Midnight. Midnight, remember? Anyone have a watch? * Sai checks his. [Time: 9:40] * Mei-Yin holds up her wrist. Midnight? Sounds typical enough. How cliche. Nah. * Chelsea observes Mei's wrist. "Ah. Thank you." Cliche is sunrise and sundown. Or high noon. Those are the most easily recognizable transitions. High noon is common for showdowns. Well. Uh. What kinda demon is it? Midnight is more common for such things as meetings between assassins and their clients, and gatherings of thieves. * Chelsea hums. "So, anyone have any suggestions for passing the next two hours and twenty minutes?" ( Just occurred to me that Sai might've been amused to meet Kojiro, were he not re-dead. ...on the other hand, it'd probably bring back bad memories. ) Anyone got a pack of cards? Nope, sorry. * Shigeru stretches. "Not on me." Playing cards? Not I. I can't say I'm too interested in the festival... No. I've got a better distraction, anyway. * Eoi blinks. "Whatcha got lady? A Gameboy?" ...something like that. * Mei-Yin smirks. * Shigeru eyes Mei-Yin. * Mei-Yin winks at Shigeru. * Chelsea eyes Mei-yin, frowning. * Shigeru fights the urge to sweatdrop. He fails. She's gonna do somethin' scary, innitshe? Get a room. ...why? ... That's a good question. * Chelsea rolls her shoulders. * Norii fishes out her PDA and reads. ( /me watches Chel's shoulders come up boxcars. ) * Sai looks up at the sky. [The sky is starry and cloudless.] ( Dammit, I've got to stop rhyming with my name here. ^_^;; ) Hey Shigeru, wanna come down to the festival with me? We've got the time... Eh? Um, all right, I guess. Jus' 'member t' come back! * Shigeru nods at the priest. Sure thing, sir. * Mei-Yin walks out next to Shigeru. * Shigeru walks off to the festival, yup. [Assuming you're not all going to the festival, those who are can join #festival] * Chelsea follows Shig and Mei. ( Uh-oh. I'm crashing hard off the caffeine. The chills are just starting. ) ( Can I watch? ^^; ) ( Up to them. ) ( You guys mind if I watch? ) * Eoi shrugs and decides to follow after Chel, Shig and the creepy new girl. (I don't mind, I s'pose.) Well, if you're *all* going... ( Eoi deals with Norii on a regular basis and he still thinks that Mei is creepy? :P ) * Norii tags along. ( Hey, he just met Mei. Again. He's used to Norii's creepyness. ) * Sai shrugs and follows the group. ( Which is everyone. Let's just keep it in here. ) [They go to the festival. Wai! There's lotsa people there, looking from booth to booth. The booths form two parallel lines out from the shrine. They're either places for food, or to play games.] [Many of the people are wearing kimono.] * Norii stays close to Sai. * Shigeru glances around. "So, what do you want to do first?" I don't know. I've never really been at a festival before. Let's find some food. * Chelsea shrugs. "I dunno. I've never had the, uh, pleasure of being at a festival before. Yah, the food is usually the best part. * Sai looks a bit distracted by something. Whassamatter, Sai? ...nothing. * Shigeru looks back at Sai. "You sure?" Yes. * Shigeru shrugs. * Chelsea frowns, then shrugs. All right. Food it is, I guess. * Shigeru heads that way! [Shigeru walks up to the "Squid Surprise"] * Chelsea follows. "So, what exactly do they have to eat at these festivals? I haven't exactly indulged in a lot of Japanese quisine yet." [Man: "What kinda tentacles can I get ya?"] * Shigeru idly wonders if he should be afraid of something with "surprise" in the name. ( Right. Like Sai is gonna tell just what the heck is wrong with him that easily. :P ) Ooh! That looks good! You... would think so. Just don't think about all the bacteria, now. ... ...ah. Tentacles are fun. * Norii gets some, and says around a mmouthful, "Trust me - you don't want to take Microbial." ...so. What *else* do they have to eat at these festivals? * Sai looks from Shig to Norii, then shrugs. * Shigeru looks at Mei and pales. ... [Man: "Hey now. There's no need to insult me. I can assure you my food is prepared finely, well within govenment health standards."] ( *snrk* ) Fortunately, Microbial doesn't fit into any of my planned majors. Yah. It's still scary. All food is scary. [Chelsea sees a sushi booth, hot dog stand, cottoncandy place...] Hot dogs? ( Ah, hot dogs. At least I *know* those will be horrible. ) [Okonomiyaki stand!] Cotton candy! Yum! Looks like. Had them before, Mei? Want some, Sai? No... Hey, hot dogs and cotton candy. Now you're talkin'. I haven't had cotton candy, either. What is it? Sounds good. I mean, they can't really be dogs and cotton, right? I'm gonna get a hot dog first, though. Cotton Candy is like Kirby is he was candy. Cotton candy is basically a soft piect of sugary fluff. * Sai heads over to the hot dog stand. Sugary fluff? Sugary fluff. Eh... sure, I'll try that. Sounds safe enough. [Man: "What'll it be, son?"] * Sai orders a hot dog. Hot dogs and cotton candy! [The man gives Sai a hot dog!] * Shigeru laughs and walks over to the cotton candy stand. * Sai wanders back to the group, munching on the hotdog. * Norii is munching some cotton candy already. Is it good, Sai? Yeah. ( Hot dog? Is it tasty? ) [Man: "G'day, mate. Welcome to Austrailian Cotton Candy. Crikey, and all that"] * Eoi walks over to the cotton candy stand to get some Kirbylike goodness. You've really never had one of these before? Nope. * Shigeru blinks, then shrugs and orders a cotton candy. He considers, then orders another one. I don't eat much, because I'm usually the one cooking. Ah, okay. Try one, Mei. Just don't ask what's in 'em. (Australian cotton candy? :P) [The man gives Shigeru 2... um... bundles, of cotton candy. "Hungry, eh, mate?"] ( Yeah :P ) * Chelsea goes to get a hot dog. ( Mm... cotton candy ) * Eoi orders a cotton candy. * Shigeru grins. "Nah, just getting one for a friend." He walks back and hands the extra to Mei. * Sai goes over to the cotton candy booth and orders one after Eoi's done. [MC gets food] ( There :P ) * Eoi eats food. Thanks! ( ... now that I think about it, cotton candy isn't really that good. It's just one of those things you buy because you're at a place you think you're supposed to eat cotton candy at. @_@ ) * Mei-Yin munches happily on the sugary treat. * Chelsea munches her hot dog daintily. "Mmm. Been years since I had one of these." ( are you insane? Cotton Candy is amazingly good. ) ( The only better sugary treat is divinity. ) * Shigeru tries it and blinks. "That's *sweet*." ( Cotton Candy is nummy. ) (It's pure sugar!) Yeah, it must be pure sugar. * Eoi munches on his Cotton Candy. * Sai eats his hot dog. It's pure sugary goodness. ( Hey, they have funnel cakes here? ^_^ ) ( It tastes good, I know.... ) Like I said. If Kirby were food. ( divinity is three kinds of pure sugar. That tops cotton candy's one type. ) ( No, it's sugar-covered cotton :P ) ( I'm just saying that the place where you eat it probably has a lot to do wiht your perception of taste ) * Shigeru snickers. [Chelsea spies "Finny Funny Funnelcakes" a bit further down] ( I used to buy bags of it after school Demota. ) Yeah. I think he'd be more marshmallowy, though. Hmmm... I wonder if I could make this... ( Cotton Candy tastes just as good in the school lunchroom as it does at a fair. ) * Shigeru eats cotton candy. ( *eats hot dog* "This is good...it almost reminds me of...Ricky Rats..." *bursts into tears* ) ( ... ... wah. Now I want cotton candy. ;_; ) You need special equipment, I thought. I think you need a special machine to make it, Mei. I could easily be wrong, tho. Hmmm. I'll try, at least. ( Nah. Just a hamster, a wheel, and some rope :P ) * Sai finishes his dog and starts on the cotton candy. That demon better watch out. I don't claim to have a vast knowledge of carnival treat preparation. We're powerful, magical, and hopped up on suger. * Shigeru snickers and checks his watch. ( Miyu knows! She loves sugar! ) * Sai smiles slightly at that. * Chelsea finishes daintily eating her hot dog. (... not that she's going to add sugar to her kid's milk bottle. ) [Time: ... Uh, I'll say 10:30 by the time you finish] Well, maybe *you* are. * Chelsea chuckles. I'm just hopped up on sugar. * Mei-Yin looks thoughtful. So what else is there to do? Well, actually I am just hopped up on sugar too. Is anyone here powerful, magical and hopped up on sugar? * Shigeru finishes his treat. "Um... I saw some games over there." He points in the general direction of the game booths. [Random NPCs: "I am!" "Me too!" "Mmm... Sugar." ] Waste of money. ( Play KoF! ) I'm not right now. If I have some sugar, tho... Fun to watch, but never play. ( What year is KoF currently on in here, anyway? ) ( And is Kasumi still the same age? ) ( 4048, Dem. ) ( wrong type of game, Dem. ) ( Awww... ) ( KoF: 3055 ) [Shig finds the game booths. There's ringtoss, goldfish scooper, shooting gallery, tossing darts at balloons...] ( Wai! Shootin' gallery! ) *** Brett sets mode: +m *** Brett sets mode: +v Sai *** Brett sets mode: +v Shigeru * Shigeru walks along. "Okay, I'll just suck at all of these." *** Brett sets mode: +v Priest *** Brett sets mode: +v AnotherLobster ( That wasn't very nice. :P ) Hm. I could clean up on the dart tossing. [There's the classic Find-the-Ball-Under-the-Cup game...] * Shigeru blinks at that one and considers cheating, then decides against it. Darn that conscience. Why don'tcha give it a try, Chel? * Eoi looks for a game that involves hitting things with a sharp blade on a stick. Sure. ::steps up to the dart tossing booth:: [Eoi finds one. 'S kinda like breaking a pinata.] Ooh. I'm gonna try this one. [Man: "Care to try your luck, miss?"] No, but I'd like to see how my skill does. * Shigeru watches and snickers. How much? * Eoi grumbles a bit at the "Miss". "Eh why not." ( Whoops, Wrong thing. ((_^ ) (Er. Maybe? Or was that meant for Eoi?) ( It was meant for Chelsea. Eoi's game kinda needs some explaining. ) [The man hands Chelsea 3 darts in exchange for X yen. "Right. Good 'skill', then.] * Sai watches the dart game. * Chelsea chuckles, and takes a casual toss. [Eoi's game involves him being blindfolded, and trying to break a red pinata while avoiding a blue one. There's 1 red per five blue] * Norii watches everyone else lose money. [Chelsea hits a balloon.] * Eoi does his very best to hit the damn Red pinata. * Chelsea tosses again. [Eoi manages to hit it, and is covered with Tootsie Rolls as a prize] Woo-hoo! [Chelsea hits another] * Shigeru notices Eoi and laughs. * Eoi gathers the Tootsie Rolls and puts them in his backpack. "Sweet, like Kirby!" * Chelsea tosses again. [Chelsea hits the last one] * Chelsea nods to herself. * Mei-Yin claps for Chelsea. [The man nods, gathers the tags, and hands Chelsea a Kirby plushie that's so big it can't fit under her arm] * Eoi wanders over to where Chel is, munching on the Tootsie Roll. * Chelsea flashes a V-for-victoly. ^_^_v Ooh. Neat prize. * Shigeru applauds. Lucky. ( Can people stay long enough for the fight? ) ( Uh. Maybe. ) ( Or do you wanna hold off until later? ) It's going to be pushing things. ( If we sliptime NOW. ) ( ) Skill. * Shigeru looks down at his watch. Chelsea has l337 sk33lz! ( I'll try to run it. :P ) Yup. Emphasis on l337. ... How the hell did you pronounce that lady? * Chelsea accepts the Kirby plushie. "The baloons fought valiantly, but the outcome was never in doubt." What, you mean l337? [MC had fun at the festival. Whether they believe it themselves or not :P . Now they head back to deal with the monster] Leet. No. Lhet. No. EllThreeThreeSeven.. no.. [Time: 11:45] ( we're gonna teach Eoi to sp33k l337. ) (*cackle*) No, no. L337. See? * Chelsea leaves her Kirby plush outside the temple so it'll stay safe. Oh. L448. ... No, that still doesn't sound right. * Shigeru shakes his head. Stop before I shoot you. * Sai shakes his head. Finished sweepin' the place up. The thin' should be 'ere any secon' now. ( ... ) * Priest says. (Thank you, talking lobster!) ... Well. Apparantly Norii is upset at Chelsea's ... l33t! HA! I said it! l33t skills! * Eoi powerposes in a small sort of way. Does it appear in a specific spot, or just somewhere around here? You're lacking a little on the ending, there. As she well should be. ^_^ But you're on your way. * Priest moves towards the back of the shrine. "Call me when ya beat 'im." Yup. You'll learn. Somewhere 'roun' 'ere. ...great. * Priest hides. *** Priest is now known as Lobster * Eoi pulls out his naginata. Well. Any bets on what horrible demon from hell will try to kill us? * Chelsea draws her sword and dagger. I think it will be small, furry and devour us whole. Hopefully it's nobody I know. ( Or are related to? ) ( Aren't YOU in for a surprise? XD ) ( Or that. ) Maybe it's that one editor from Saki's school. ( Oh, heya, sis. ) Wouldn't it be wonderful to get the chance to kick her ass! * Sai blinks at Shigeru's statement, and laughs a bit. ... is what I would be saying. You guys wouldn't shut up about he- yeah, that's probably why. I'm betting it's the one who promised to get me at the tournament. She was just a little over-eager. No, Eoi. It'd be so cool! Maybe it's Quing, returned from the dead to haunt us? [Time: 12:00. A big glowing green circle appears in front of the shrine] * Eoi eyes Chelsea. _ Ooh! Showtime! * Mei-Yin hides behind a bush and drags out her videocamera. * Chelsea smiles and eases into a ready pose. Ah. Well, at least it's giving us warning. * Norii draws. * Shigeru stretches and walks over to a place relatively hidden. * Sai puts up his energy field. ( Er, make that...) * Sai chants softly, and a blue glow forms around him. [With all mannor of splorching sounds, a giant snail, with mushrooms growing out of the side of its shell, makes its way out of the portal. (roll init)] *** Lobster is now known as ShroomSnail ... * Sai BLINKS. d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Norii (d6+7) and gets 8. ( eeeeeew. ) * Shigeru blinks a couple times. (Oh dear God NO!) d6+3 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Mei-Yin (d6+3) and gets 7. d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Shigeru (d6+6) and gets 12. 1d6+6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Sai (1d6+6) and gets 9. d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chelsea (d6+7) and gets 8. Damn, and I didn't bring my salt. d6+7 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Eoi (d6+7) and gets 10. ( No! Not the Neslug! Dear god no! ) [Order: Shigeru, ShroomSnail, Eoi, Sai, Chelsea/Norii, Mei-Yin] [Shigeru's turn!] *** AnotherLobster has quit IRC (Quit: Ya don't need me ;_; ) * Shigeru shakes his head, then concentrates on the snail. [Snail's turn] * Shigeru thinks to the group: ~... It's hungry. What the hell.~ * Sai blinks. ...well, at least that's simple. *mumbles*...well, he DID say he was psychic... ( Queston. How giant is the snail? ) * ShroomSnail spits a glob of schtuff at Norii, who barely manages to dive out of the way. The blob starts eating through the stones she was standing on] *** Demota has left #BESM Eeeeek! ...ugh. [Bout 8 ft. tall, and plenny long] Acid spit! This is not unexpected! Great, then you deal with it! [Eoi's turn] *** Demota has joined #BESM *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Demota * Eoi rushes forward and stabs at the snail, making sure to aim for the squishy part. *** Demota has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer ) *** Demotafk has joined #BESM [Eoi stabs the squishy part. There's a fizzing sound as blackness oozes out of the wound.] Ew. That's nice looking. Plop, plop, fizz, fizz! [Sai's turn] * Sai levels a hand at the Snail's head, palm facing out. He braces his other hand behind and yells "Soul burst!" firing a blue sphere of energy at it. [The shot slams into the snail with intense force, causing the head to shudder a bit] *** Sidhe has joined #besm *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Sidhe [Chelsea's turn] (Hola, Sidhe.) ( I can't stay for much longer. ) * Chelsea waves her dagger and says "My Magic Attack", which has the result of sending a bolt of blue energy towards the snail. (I'm not tired! I had caffeine! ^_^) ( In fact, I gotta go. Sorry folks. ) (Hallo.) ( I'm not tired, but I gotta get off the computer. Sorry. ) ( Night Eoi. 'Lo Sid ) *** Eoi has quit IRC (Quit: ) ( Gurp. x_x ) [Eoi's bike-riding finally catches up to her, and she faints :P] ( does this mean we can tease Eoi about having low endurance? ) (Yes. :P) ( Do we have to? ) [Somehow, almost beyond your comprehension, the snail sidesteps the attack.] [Norii's turn] * Chelsea blinks. What the... Oh hell. * Norii does her darnedest to put a bullet between the slug's eyes. Well. He's certainly quick on his... pseudopod. [Norii succeeds, unfortunately, the eyes are on stalks, and the bullet passes between them harmlessly] [Mei-Yin's turn] ( That had better have actually been a miss. ) * Mei-Yin darts forward and grabs ahold of Eoi, dragging him out of combat. [Shigeru's turn] * Shigeru runs out and assists with the Eoi-dragging. [Snail's turn] * ShroomSnail turns one of it's mushroom wings towards the group (Specifically at Chelsea) and fires] [The shroom slams into Chelsea, releasing a yellow-ish powder on impact. The powder covers those not quick enough to get out of the way (Specifically Chelsea, Norii, and Mei-Yin). Causing them to itch horribly)] This had better wash off. Aaaah! * ShroomSnail begins growning another shroom in the empty space. [Sai's turn] * Chelsea shivers. "It'd damn sure better." * Sai fires his soul burst again. *** Greg has joined #BESM [Sai's soul burst powerfully misses the target] [Chelsea's turn] * Chelsea waves her dagger again, this time saying "My Magic Shield." The air in front of her shimmers briefly. [Norii's turn] * Norii just shoots the damn thing. [Norii's itching too hard to focus very well, and her shot passes by the snail.] [Mei-Yin's turn] * Mei-Yin alternates between scratching madly and trying to drag Eoi away. [Shig's turn] * Shigeru does *not* alternate between scratching and dragging. He just drags Eoi. :P [Snail's turn] * ShroomSnail spits more acid, at Sai this time. His force field takes all of the damage and is still standing, though.] [Sai's turn] *** DSidhe has joined #BESM * Sai frowns, and tries his attack again. (I'm alternating between playing and pre-reading now. ^^;) *** Sidhe has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) [Sai's blast is on the mark this time; it slams into the snail, wracking it with pain. At least, that's how it seems.] [Chelsea's turn] *** DSidhe has left #BESM * Chelsea walks up to the snail and tries to cut one of it's eyestalks off. [Chelsea succeeds, despite the itching. For all the good it seems to do] [Norii's turn] ...nah, too hard a shot. * Norii tries to stop scratching long enough to plug the snail. [Norii manages to succeed, poking a hole in the snail] [Mei-Yin's turn] * Mei-Yin continues dragging Eoi out of the way. [Shig's turn] * Shigeru decides he's had enough dragging and concentrates on the snail instead. [Snail's turn] * ShroomSnail turns to the side, and whapwhapwhap's Chelsea with one of it's mushrooms like a mallet. Chelsea is caught off guard, and... well, is whapwhapwhapped :P] ( Stupid bracket ) o.O [Luckily her shield protects her. ] [Sai's turn] * Sai grits his teeth and blasts at the snail again. [The blast flies towards the snail, but before it reaches, the snail flapps its shroom's rapidly and begins flying, passing over the attack] ... ... ... O_o ... [Chelsea' turn] Well. I'm sure nobody saw that one coming. ( ^_^ ) Would someone please teach the slug some physics? (I assume it's too far away to poke with my sword?) ( Nah. It's not that high yet. ) I'd love to, but I doubt it'd make a good student. * Chelsea tries to cut the snail in the general region of it's head. (Or neck. That'll work fine, too.) [Chelsea gets a bad itch as she swings, causing her to miss. Fortunately, the itching seems to stop after that.] [Norii's turn] * Norii shoots the stupid snail. Die, already! [The itching strikes again, and Norii is unable to succeed!] [Mei-Yin's turn] * Mei-Yin drags Eoi back behind a bush and makes sure she gets the flying snail on tape. [Shig's turn] * Shigeru concentrates on the snail again. Yay. [Snail's turn] * ShroomSnail spits acid at Chelsea! The glob splatters on her shield. The shield absorbs the attack, but is put out of condition after that. [Sai's turn] Die already! SOUL BURST! Hey, that's my line! [The soul burst connects, leaving the snail to look much weaker] * Sai slumps a bit after that. [Chelsea's turn] *** Demotafk has left #BESM *** Demota has joined #BESM *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Demota * Chelsea backs off a ways so she doesn't have to crane her neck to see the snail. She waves her dagger and says "My Magic Attack," sending another bolt of swirling blue energy at the sluggish menace.
