[21:36] [Day: Nobody's entirely sure. Time: Late evening] [21:36] ( Go to hell. Go to hell and die. ) [21:36] ( too late. ) [21:36] ( I'm handsome, long haired, and angsty! Where are all my fangirls? ;_; ) [21:37] ( Chasing after Quentin :P ) [21:37] ( Go find Vicki. ) [21:37] ( I'm sure she'd be a good fangirl. ) [21:37] ( I don't want Hikaru to tear me to ribbons. ) [21:38] [Picking up where we left off, the group battled and failed to kill Chelsea's grandmother whilst her grandfather (and incidently Shig's dad) escaped. They did find Shig's mom, however. And now they're in the throneroom of a deserted castle.] [21:38] [Session Start] [21:38] ( though if you'd rather just do a chibi session like you have been.... ) [21:39] ( ...no. ) [21:39] ...So. [21:39] * Shigeru tugs lightly at Ayane's arm. "C'mon, Mom. Can you stand?" [21:40] * Ayane wobbles to her feet shakily, but seems to have no problem once she gets there. [21:40] * Shigeru gets to his feet, too, and rubs at his eyes. [21:41] * Eoi paces. [21:41] * Sai leans against a wall and watches. [21:41] Wonderful. The bad guy got away, and we still have not found Mei- Yin. [21:41] * Norii frets. [21:41] Now what? ... Mom, how long've you been here? In Hell, I mean. [21:41] * Chelsea stands and runs a hand through her hair. "So. We wanna try to get back to our little chariot?" [21:42] * Sai looks up. "We still need to figure out where Mei is." [21:42] I'm not sure. It couldn't have been more than a week. [21:42] *** DeMenchi is now known as Demota [21:42] * Shigeru nods. "Okay." [21:42] That's why I ask, Sai. I'm not sure whether searching on foot would make us more or less likely to find Mei. [21:43] * Sai nods. [21:43] It all depends on if she wants to be found, like Shig said. [21:43] Then...we need to figure out where she'd go next. [21:44] * Shigeru shakes his head. "She's not immune to me. If I got close enough to her I'd know if she's there, but..." [21:44] She might head straight for the phoenix fire. [21:44] No, she wouldn't leave Shig. [21:44] Yeah. [21:44] Maybe she wants to head them off at the volcano, though. [21:44] I do not pretend to understand what's going on inher head, tho. [21:45] She could be thinking to kill them there, then wait for Shigeru. [21:45] Maybe. [21:45] Well. We need to get Shigmom out of here anyway, so we might as well head there. [21:46] * Shigeru bites his lip, then sighs. "Fine. Let's at least get to our taxi." [21:46] Sounds like a plan. [21:47] This place is giving me the creeps. [21:47] * Chelsea nods. [21:47] It's Hell, Eoi. That's probably an intentional effect. [21:48] [A nearby wall sticks its tongue out at Eoi, 'cause it can.] [21:48] * Eoi peers at the wall. [21:48] You know, that should bother me. The fact that it DOESN'T bothers me. [21:48] Right. The sooner we get out of this place, the better. [21:48] Hmm? [21:49] ...let's go. [21:49] * Chelsea nods and heads for the entrance. [21:49] * Eoi nods and heads for the entra.. damn you Chelsea. [21:49] * Sai follows Chelsea. [21:50] ( Eoi is jinxed :P ) [21:50] * Shigeru listens to people leave. "Erm." [21:50] ( Chel's already damned. ) [21:50] ( So are the rest of you :P ) [21:50] (Woo hoo! ^_^) [21:51] ( Woohoo! We can change our name to 'The Club of the Damned'! ) [21:51] Wanna get out of here, Mom? [21:52] (Well, we're working on getting ourselves undamned.) [21:52] * Norii waits impatiently at the door. [21:53] * Ayane nods. "I don't know where the exit is." [21:53] Just follow everyone else? [21:53] * Chelsea remembers something and comes back to Shig and Shigmom. "Ah, sorry. Forgot. Lemme help you along, Shig?" [21:54] * Shigeru sweatdrops. ~Well, I figured Mom could do it, but she seems kinda confused,~ he thinks to Chelsea. [21:54] *** Mads is now known as OtherDimensionMads [21:55] ( Urk. Gotta AFK a sec. Assume Mom follows :P ) [21:55] * Shigeru is led. Go him. [21:55] * Chelsea leads Shigeru. [21:55] You ever notice how nothing can just be simple? [21:56] That'd be too easy. Way too easy. [21:56] *** OtherDimensionMads is now known as Mads [21:56] * Shigeru blinks. "Hey, Chel." [21:56] Mmm-hmm? [21:57] If my dad... er, step dad, I guess, is your grandfather, wouldn't that make me your step uncle? [21:57] I'd really rather not think about that, Shig. [21:57] And hey, at least we're not related by blood, right? [21:57] You're relationships are very confusing. It's like something out of a movie. [21:57] ( Your too. ) [21:57] ( You owe Chelsea a whole buncha Christmas presents and Birthday gifts, Shig. :P ) [21:57] * Shigeru snickers. "Sure. And there is that, yeah. But God, this is fucking weird." [21:58] (Well, duh. :P) [21:58] * Chelsea chuckles. "Yes. Yes it is." [21:58] Gee, you think? [21:59] Mmm. After this, we're gonna have to hunt down Kimiko. Assuming nothing's out to kill us immediately. [21:59] We do? [21:59] Yes, we do. [21:59] Yup. I think Eoi deserves to know what's been happening to his body. [21:59] ...ew. [22:00] Sounds like a good idea. [22:00] Eoi probably doesn't wanna know. But we'll hunt it down anyway. ^_^ [22:00] ... [22:00] * Eoi sighs. [22:00] ...how did we get from odd relationships to what Kimiko is... EW. [22:00] ... [22:00] * Shigeru facepalms. [22:00] Ok. Can we drop this now? Thanks. [22:01] I don't want to understand this conversation, do I. [22:01] * Norii is thoroughly grossed out. [22:01] Just smile and nod Sai, just smile and nod. [22:03] Right. [22:03] * Chelsea hums to herself. [22:05] ( ::runs for water:: ) [22:07] * Sai begins humming as well. [22:08] * Eoi decides to hum as well. [22:08] ( Back. ) [22:08] * Chelsea goes from humming to singling softly. [22:08] ( Ergh. Back. ) [22:08] * Norii whistles, just to me contrary. [22:08] * Shigeru does not hum. He looks mildly distracted instead. [22:09] ( Are we there yet? ) [22:09] [You're there, yet. [22:09] ] [22:09] ( Blargh. Already a bracket screwup ;_; ) [22:09] ( The door or the carriage? ) [22:10] [Since you're all going to the carriage anyhow, we'll say there :P] [22:11] Need some help this time Chel? [22:11] * Chelsea approaches the carriage, from an angle that the beasts can't see her from. [22:12] Yeah, help'd be nice. Get up here, Shig. [22:12] Eh? ... Chelsea, I can't see. [22:12] * Eoi goes to help, then stops as Chel tells Shig to get up. "Uh.. okay." [22:12] I mean, I can work around that, but... [22:13] * Chelsea thinks about that. "Actually, Shig, nevermind. Eoi, you get to hold the fishing pole this time." [22:14] * Shigeru nods. [22:14] Cool. Finally get to do something useful. [22:14] * Eoi hops on up. [22:15] * Sai gets into the back of the carriage. [22:16] * Shigeru just stands there. [22:16] * Ayane does too. [22:16] * Chelsea chuckles. "Here, Shig, lemme give ya' a hand." [22:16] * Shigeru smiles sheepishly. "Thanks." [22:17] * Norii helps out as well. [22:17] * Chelsea does that, helping both Shigeru and Ayane up. [22:17] * Shigeru snatches Chelsea's loudest thought as she does so. [22:18] * Chelsea clearly wants to discuss things with Shigeru, if her thoughts are any indication. [22:20] * Shigeru settles into a seat. [22:20] * Ayane does too, s'long as everyone else is. [22:21] * Sai leans back in the seat and stares upwards. [22:21] This is all moving so fast... [22:21] How do ya mean, Sai? [22:22] * Sai blinks, then looks over at Shigeru. [22:22] Well, it seems like we're always playing catchup, here. [22:22] This surprises you? [22:22] Alright, Eoi. The line still has a meatbun on it, so just carefuly put it where they can see it but not reach it. And give at least a yard of leeway. [22:23] Sure thing Chel. [22:23] * Eoi follows Chel's instructions. [22:23] [The beasts go "WOOT!" when they see the bun, and charge right for it, jostling the coach.] [22:24] * Chelsea hangs on tight to the steering wheel. [22:24] * Chelsea also, y'know, steers. [22:24] *** Dicesuke has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) [22:24] *** Mei-Yin has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) [22:25] ( Keep going for now. ) [22:25] Well, true. But that doesn't me it's a good way to be doing things...we're always behind. [22:25] * Shigeru twists the collapsed walking stick in his hands for a bit, then thinks to Chelsea, ~You all right?~ [22:25] Unless my precognition develops more, or Shig gains the ability to see the future, there isn't much we can do. [22:26] See the future? [22:26] * Shigeru snickers. "I hope not." [22:26] ~ Not really, no. What gave it away? The obvious bit or the other obvious bit? ~ Her 'voice' is more joking than anything. [22:26] (So I have to do it to him! *Shigeru smacks her* Ow. x.x) [22:27] ~How about both?~ [22:28] ~ Heh. So, how about you? How're you holding up? ~ [22:28] Well, that's what bothers me. There's no way for us to actually ACT. [22:28] I dunno. We went out here with a plan... or at least a lot more of one than usual. [22:29] * Ayane decides to take a nap. [22:29] We did...but it was still someone who contacted you guys, not something we initiated. [22:29] * Shigeru shrugs. ~I'm... surprised I'm taking it so well, I guess. I'm more worried about Mei than anything right now.~ [22:30] *** DamienRoc is on IRC [22:30] ~ I see. ~ [22:31] Now we're behind Quentin's group, we're behind the demons, and we're behind Mei. [22:31] [The carriage enters the land of More Dark. You can tell it's the land of More Dark because it's... well, darker.] [22:32] [Shortly, the forest opens into very barren land, almost but somehow not quite resembling a desert] [22:32] ( It's the land of not-too-bright. ) [22:32] ~I mean, hell. She's probably gonna get herself killed, or maybe kill us, or... And we've gotta do *something* about it before I can afford to let everything else hit me and go screaming into a brick wall. ... Y'know.~ [22:32] Uh, where are we heading? [22:32] To that mountain, right? [22:33] I, uh, guess I missed where we decided to head there? [22:34] Yep. [22:34] We need to get Shigmom to the fire. [22:34] And hopefully find Mei-Yin. [22:34] ~ I think I understand. Even if that was kind of jumbled. *chuckles psionically* ~ [22:34] ~Hey, just because I can project my thoughts doesn't mean my thoughts are clear. That might be asking too much.~ [22:35] ~ Heh. Well, anyway. Just... don't worry about Mei, alright? ~ [22:35] ( Chelsea and Eoi, perception rolls, if ye would. ) [22:35] 2d6 [22:35] ( .. Uh-oh. ) [22:35] ~Oh, like that's an easy thing to do.~ [22:36] ( Uh. I can bring my dicebot in. ) [22:36] ( In fact, give me a second. ) [22:36] ( Oh yeah. Hrm. ) [22:36] *** Lucia has joined #BESM [22:36] 2d6 [22:36] * Lucia rolls for Eoi (2d6) and gets 7. [22:36] 2d6 [22:37] * Lucia rolls for Chelsea (2d6) and gets 5. [22:37] ( Made it. ) [22:37] ( Didn't make it. ) [22:37] *** Mads has quit IRC (Quit: o/~ I... I feel so WAI!!! For the very first time! I can't deny you... I feel so WAI! o/~ ) [22:37] *** Lucia is now known as Dicebot [22:37] ( Wai! Lucia! ) [22:38] Hm. They've been this way. [22:38] They? [22:39] Well. That is a .. good sign I guess. [22:39] Who has? [22:39] Wha? Who? [22:39] Whoever's responsible for the corpses back at the fort. [22:39] ... [22:39] This really does bode poorly. [22:39] ... Okay, let's keep going. [22:39] What? Did you think those were boulders, Eoi? [22:40] Yep. [22:40] Heh. [22:40] Of course, I'm trying to keep focused on this damn meatbun. [22:40] *** CharleSleep has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) [22:41] Good. [22:41] Uh. I have a question. What do we do if Mei-Yin is the one who has been doing this? If it is, she sure has lost it. I mean... she might try to kill yo.... uh, someone. [22:41] [The meatbun dangles temptingly in front of the ravenous moose- mice.] [22:41] If she tries to kill me she'll have a hard time of it. [22:42] Yeah, but you can't kill her or anything like that.. [22:42] I mean, do you have some sort of magic that can put her to sleep or something? [22:42] I assure you that killing her is not on my list of priorities. [22:42] The danger is that if she's gone berserk, Suzaku may be coming for her. [22:42] Unfortunately, no. [22:43] ( Chelsea-chan, make a ranged defense roll, ground vehicle spec. ) [22:43] 2d6 [22:43] * Dicebot rolls for Chelsea (2d6) and gets 2. [22:43] ( Made it. ^_^ ) [22:43] (Crit it. @_@) [22:43] ( Whoo! Crit! ) [22:43] ( Crit. ) [22:43] ( ::blink:: That I did. ^_^ ) [22:45] [Suddenly, a large black spike erupts from the ground. Chelsea quickly swerves out of the way. Several more spikes begin to appear, but Chelsea skillfully avoids them all.] [22:45] Crap! [22:45] What the hell is going on? [22:45] Eoi, pull the bun up! [22:45] ...what was that?! [22:45] Gee, wonder if that's magical. [22:45] * Eoi ignores the backseat driving. [22:45] Of course not. Those were rabbits. [22:46] * Shigeru is jerked around a lot. "The hell?" [22:46] Yes. Massive jagged rock bunnies. [22:46] Yes. Cute. Maybe we can get one as a pet. [22:46] We've got some sort of situation Shig. [22:46] ( Are there more spires rising, or are we through that? ) [22:47] * Ayane wakes up only to hit her head and wind up being knocked out. Lord, having her join the group was a bad idea on the GM's part :P [22:47] [You're through, for now] [22:47] Shig.. can you sense anyone? [22:47] * Chelsea keeps heading for Mount Doom. If that's the right name for it. [22:49] Yeah. There's... something out there. [22:49] * Shigeru frowns and concentrates harder. [22:49] ... [22:49] I assume the something isn't pleased to see us? [22:49] Damn. I wonder if the four gods can enter hell? If so, Suzaku might... [22:50] * Norii draws on general principles. [22:50] ( Unfortunately there's nothing to shoot. ) [22:51] * Shigeru sighs. "I can tell it's out there, but I can't pinpoint it enough to get anything more than that." [22:51] Well. Maybe it'll be kind enough to show itself so I can stab it. [22:52] Or maybe it'll just stop bothering us. [22:52] That's be even better. [22:52] *** DamienRoc has left IRC [22:52] Yes, that would be nice. [22:52] ... Could it be Mei-Yin? She doesn't have that kind of power, does she? [22:52] ... [22:52] ...did those things look like bladed weapons? [22:53] Uh.. they were pointy. [22:53] The sword can change into a lot of things, apparently... [22:53] [Chelsea, make an unarmed defense roll at +2 :P] [22:53] I've always been able to spot her before. But... I hope not. [22:53] 2d6+2 [22:53] * Dicebot rolls for Chelsea (2d6+2) and gets 9. [22:54] (That's trouble. ) [22:54] ( Big trouble. ) [22:55] [A black shadow forms in front of the animals, a short distance ahead. Almost instantly, Cawti leaps out, over the beasts, and tackles Chelsea, pulling her off the coach with her.] [22:55] *** BonusKirby is now known as Cawti [22:55] Shit! [22:55] What the hell?! [22:55] * Eoi grabs the wheel. "Oh shit, oh shit, OH SHIT." [22:55] Gah! [22:55] Ok. It's a wheel. I can handle this. [22:55] * Eoi tries to turn around ASAP. [22:55] [Make an acrobatics roll, Chel? [22:55] \ [22:55] ] [22:56] Stop the coach, Eoi! [22:56] Fuck! What's going on, Chel? Eoi? [22:56] Stop! [22:56] I'M TRYING! [22:56] Chel just got knocked off the coach! [22:56] It's Cawti! [22:56] 2d6 [22:56] * Dicebot rolls for Chelsea (2d6) and gets 6. [22:56] Pull the bun away from them, Eoi! [22:56] ( Body - riding, Eoi. ) [22:56] ( Shit. ) [22:57] 2d6 [22:57] * Dicebot rolls for Eoi (2d6) and gets 8. [22:57] ( No. ) [22:57] ( And after that, everyone roll init. ) [22:57] d6+6 [22:57] * Dicebot rolls for Sai (d6+6) and gets 12. [22:57] d6+6 [22:57] * Eoi is trying to.

[22:57] d6+7 [22:57] * Dicebot rolls for Norii (d6+7) and gets 8. [22:59] [Eoi, Cawti, Sai, Shig, Chelsea, Norii] [23:00] [Eoi doesn't know how to control the beasts, and finds that it'll take him longer to turn them around than he'd have preferred.] [23:00] ( Can I still act, or did I lose my turn? ) [23:00] ( I ain't done yet. ) [23:01] *** Shingo has joined #BESM [23:01] *** Dicesuke has joined #BESM [23:01] *** ChanServ sets mode: +v Dicesuke [23:01] [Chelsea, meanwhile, hits the ground and rolls.

He grabs the pole and meatbun and jumps off the side of the coach. [23:03] ( He's trying to keep the animals from noticing. ) [23:03] (Gee, thanks Eoi.) [23:03] ( Erm... Jumps off? O.o ) [23:04] ( Ok... Body - acrobatics (tumbling) ) [23:04] 2d6-4 [23:04] Eoi, you idiot! [23:04] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Eoi (2d6-4) and gets -1. [23:04] ( Yep. ) [23:04] ( It's Eoi's plan, not mine. ) [23:04] [Eoi falls and rolls, managing to keep from getting roughed up too badly.] [23:04] [Cawti's turn] [23:05] ( Ked suddenly realizes the reason he's falling asleep is that he hasn't eaten anything in more than twelve hours. ) [23:05] ( Yeah, that'll do it. ) [23:05] ( Gah.

[23:09] [Shig's turn] [23:10] *** Zereth has joined #besm [23:11] * Shigeru grumbles as he has no clue what's going on, other than that there's a hostile presence out there. So he focuses on it and gives Cawti's brain a squeeze. [23:11] 2d6-3 [23:11] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Shigeru (2d6-3) and gets 1. [23:11] ( 4 hour sleep bad ;_; ) [23:11] [Chel's turn] [23:12] * Chelsea strugles to her feet and draws her sword and casting dagger. "Ung... it's good to see you too, Grandmother."

Ok ) [23:25] 2d6-4 [23:25] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chelsea (2d6-4) and gets 6. [23:27] [Chel and Mei both get caught in the cage, and are lifted off their feet. Fortunately the effect was quick, so they're not left impaled 10 feet in the air.] [23:27] Ouch. That had to hurt. [23:27] * Mei-Yin SCREAMS. [23:28] * Mei-Yin doesn't scream in pain. She screams in insane rage. [23:28] [Sai's turn] [23:28] * Chelsea holds back a scream, grinding her teeth. [23:28] (Are there doors on both sides of the coach?) [23:29] ( Yeah ) [23:29] ( And it's slower now. ) [23:29] * Sai pulls the door on his side of the coach open. [23:29] * Sai jumps out. [23:29] ( body - acrobatics (tumbling) ) [23:29] 2d6 [23:29] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Sai (2d6) and gets 7. [23:30] (No way.) [23:30] [Sai lands rather harshly, and rolls for a bit before coming to a stop.] [23:30] [Shig's turn] [23:31] Umph. [23:31] * Shigeru grits his teeth and his eyes flicker slightly, but he keeps his focus on attacking Cawti's mind. [23:31] 2d6-3 [23:31] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Shigeru (2d6-3) and gets 4. [23:31] [Chel's turn] [23:32] * Chelsea waves her dagger in front of her. "My Magic Shield." [23:34] [Norii's turn] [23:34] ( Is the buggy slowing, still? ) [23:35] ( Yes, but it's still moving fast enough so that an awkward landing would hurt. ) [23:36] * Norii sees Sai go flying, and decides that she'd rather not have break a leg in hell. [23:39] ( ::runs for more water:: ) [23:39] * Norii knows it won't hit, but shoots at Cawti anyway. [23:39] 2d6-3 [23:39] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Norii (2d6-3) and gets 1. [23:39] [Norii is right, it doesn't hit] [23:39] [Eoi's turn] [23:39] ( Ano... ) [23:39] ( Isn't this where I go? ) [23:39] * Eoi slashes at Cawti with his Naginata. [23:39] 2d6-6 [23:39] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Eoi (2d6-6) and gets 0. [23:39] ( Hrm. So it is. You can go after Eoi. ) [23:39] [Eoi slashes at Cawti, and would get the First Attack! Bonus if this were a fighting game.] [23:39] ( Hee ) [23:39] [Mei's turn] [23:40] * Mei-Yin comes up running, sword trailing behind her, getting longer, and longer, and very, very thick, lengthening into the immense form of a zanbatou, which she whips around at Cawti, heedless of her... friends standing nearby. "YOU'RE MINE! MINE!!!" [23:40] 2d6-1 [23:40] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Mei-Yin (2d6-1) and gets 2. [23:40] ( Today is Kenshin day. ) [23:40] ... She scares me. [23:40] ( Yep ) [23:41] ( Ahhhhhh. Perfect rice. ) [23:41] * Cawti seems to vanish. Looking around, Mei shortly spots her sitting on the end of her sword. [23:42] (...) [23:42] * Mei-Yin whips the sword down toward the ground, turning the blade to try to catch Cawti between it and the ground. [23:42] 2d6-1 [23:42] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Mei-Yin (2d6-1) and gets 6. [23:44] * Cawti apparently had the same idea, and spins the blade with her feet, causing Mei to spin around and wind up on the ground. [23:44] [Ermm... Sai. Yes. Sai's turn @_@] [23:45] * Sai pulls himself to his feet, and chants his shielding spell. [23:45] [Shig's turn] [23:46] * Shigeru curses and shakes his head, then concentrates, looking through Norii's eyes. He isn't particularly happy with what he sees. [23:46] [Chelsea's turn] [23:47] ( Whooo... My eyes go all swirly @_@ ) [23:47] ( o_O; ) [23:47] * Chelsea dashes towards Cawti and takes a swipe at her with her blade. [23:47] 2d6-6 [23:47] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chelsea (2d6-6) and gets 3. [23:47] [Chelsea connects, taking a good chunk out of Cawti's side] [23:48] [Norii's turn] [23:48] * Norii grimaces and tentatively drops from the carraige. [23:49] [The carriage is moving slow enough to get out of without difficulty now] [23:49] ( can I shoot yet? ) [23:50] ( Go ahead ) [23:50] * Norii shoots. Hopefully this will work better from solid ground... [23:50] 2d6-3 [23:50] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Norii (2d6-3) and gets 4. [23:51] [Evidently it does, as Norii catches Cawti in the shoulder.] [23:51] [Mei's turn] [23:52] * Mei-Yin flips up to her feet, dragging the end of the zanbatou up even as it shrinks and splits into two parts, which form into a scimitar in each of her hands. She begins a furious series of slashes at the demon bitch. "MINE!!!!! MINEMINEMINEMINE!" [23:52] 2d6-2 [23:52] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Mei-Yin (2d6-2) and gets 5. [23:53] 2d6-2 [23:53] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Mei-Yin (2d6-2) and gets 6. [23:53] [Mei is quick enough to cut Cawti twice] [23:53] ( AFK about four ) [23:53] [Eoi's turn] [23:54] * Eoi slashes at Cawti again. [23:54] 2d6-6 [23:54] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Eoi (2d6-6) and gets 4. [23:54] [Eoi's slash connects, cutting her side] [23:54] [Cawti's turn] [23:55] * Cawti takes a step back and grins. A circular shadow spreads beneath her feet like a pool of darkness. She falls into it, and it closes. [23:55] *** Cawti is now known as Kirby [23:55] Dammit! She just keeps slowing us down! [23:56] ... Shit. [23:56] * Mei-Yin SCREAMS! [23:56] ... [23:56] NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! [23:56] Let's get going. [23:56] How the hell does she heal so fast, anyway? [23:56] * Mei-Yin mauls the bloody hell out of the ground where she disappeared. [23:57] She's a demon. [23:57] ... [23:57] She's a demon lord, Sai. She can do lots of neat stuff. [23:57] [Mei digs a nice hole] [23:57] * Eoi backs away from Mei-Yin [23:57] Uh, Shig? [23:57] What? [23:57] Uh. Hi Mei-Yin. How ya doin'? [23:57] Some help here? [23:57] * Chelsea ignores Mei with a great deal of effort. "I don't suppose anyone else can drive a carriage?" [23:57] Uh.. [23:57] * Shigeru frowns slightly and looks through Norii's eyes. "Fuck." [23:57] I.. kinda.. maybe.. sorta. It has a wheel. [23:57] * Mei-Yin stops digging a hole and turns in the direction y'all were going in the first place. [23:58] * Shigeru lightly probes at Mei's brain. Thoughts/emotions? [23:58] * Mei-Yin 's mind is enclosed by a smooth wall of rage. [23:59] This just gets worse and worse. [23:59] I can try Chel. Better then having her attack us every three minutes. [23:59] * Mei-Yin starts walking quickly in the direction y'all were already going. [23:59] Fucking hell. [00:00] * Shigeru touches his mother's arm, tries to sense her, and sighs. "Guys, Mom's knocked out." [00:00] MEI! [00:00] ( @_@ Shigeru cursed... ) [00:00] * Mei-Yin snaps around to face Norii. [00:00] ( ... Yeah, he's done that a few times. ) [00:00] WHAT?! [00:00] ( Shigeru curses all the time. :P ) [00:00] ( Really? ) [00:00] ...are you okay? [00:00] (Yeah, he does. ^^;) [00:00] ( I never noticed. Rose colored glasses, I suppose. ) [00:00] * Eoi heads back to the coach and checks on Shigmom. [00:00] * Ayane is out cold, 'cause the GM's too tired to deal with an NPC :P [00:01] I'M FINE! Are you coming or not?! [00:01] (Didn't know they even extended to the player. ^_~ He's been a foulmouth since his introduction.) [00:01] ( I didn't know either. ) [00:01] You're not fine, Mei! What's happening to you? [00:01] She just bumped her head Shig. She'll be fine. [00:01] I... am very... very... ANGRY! [00:02] Now let's GO! [00:02] ... [00:02] Uh.. maybe you should relax for a second Mei-Yin. Take some deep breaths. [00:02] * Chelsea look sad, but continues to get into the driver's seat of the carriage anyway. [00:03] * Mei-Yin growls as she jumps up onto the wagon. [00:03] At least you have a faster way to travel. [00:03] * Norii climbs in as well. [00:03] * Eoi gets the pole and climbs back into the carriage seat, making sure to avoid showing the mooces the meatbun. [00:03] * Sai climbs into the back of the coach, watching Mei worriedly. [00:03] * Mei-Yin looks down at Shig's mom. [00:04] Why is _SHE_ here? [00:04] Who? [00:04] Because she's Shigeru's mother. [00:04] * Mei-Yin blinks. [00:04] ... Uh, that is Shigmom. She'll probably end up as your mother-in- law, so be nice. [00:04] ...bullshit. [00:04] ... What do you mean, bullshit? [00:04] Why is Shigeru's mom in hell? [00:04] Because she came here with Quentin. [00:05] It's a long story. And I'm not telling it to you when you're ready to chop people into jerky. [00:05] * Mei-Yin blinks, and blinks again, and then seems to lose all her anger. [00:05] I... I'll have to apologize for knocking her out when she wakes up. [00:05] ... You knocked her out? What? [00:05] * Sai relaxes a bit, and smiles. [00:06] I knocked her out, and then went after the boss, but he ran away. That's all these asshole do! They won't fight me! [00:06] * Mei-Yin starts getting angry again. [00:07] Mei, calm down. [00:07] Uh, I wouldn't fight you either. You have the whole yelling and hitting things with big swords thing down pat. [00:08] * Sai rolls his eyes at Eoi. [00:08] * Mei-Yin lunges across the carriage and glomps Shigeru, managing not to impale him on her sword, which is a katana again. [00:08] * Mei-Yin cries into Shigeru's chest, "Why won't they fight me!?" [00:08] ;_; [00:08] ... Uh.. [00:08] * Shigeru somehow manages to not fall over. He's rather amazed by it, actually. [00:08] Anyway. We should continue on.. I think.. [00:09] * Norii blinks. What else can she do? [00:09] Um. Because they're scared of you? Why are you still carrying that thing, anyway? [00:09] Right. Eoi, hit the meatbun. [00:09] Huh? Carrying what? [00:10] *** Kirby has quit IRC (Quit: ) [00:10] That sword. You said you were just going to study it when you picked it up, and you're not even fighting anything right now. [00:10] It's.. what, couple of miles to Mount Doom. We've got a whole meatbun, a crapload of weapons, We're hell, and we're dead. Let's rock. [00:10] * Eoi moves the meatbun into "Drive". [00:10] * Mei-Yin blinks and looks down at her sword. [00:10] ( We're in hell rather. ) [00:11] Oh, this. Um, I got tired of pulling it out of nowhere all the time. [00:11] W00t! [00:11] [The animals go "WOOT!" And... aw, you know the drill.] [00:11] Really? ... Why'd you start doing that, anyway? [00:11] ( ...you say w00t to make them go? ) [00:11] ( ...what makes them stop? ) [00:11] ( Be right back. Gotta get water. ) [00:11] [One of the animals tries to go the wrong direction when it hears a mating call] [00:12] Start doing what? [00:12] Pulling the sword out of nowhere. [00:12] To protect you, silly. [00:12] (...mating call? You mean these things want to MATE with the meatbun? :P) [00:12] * Mei-Yin reaches up and ruffles Shiggy's hair. [00:12] ( No, with Norii :P ) [00:13] ( ...w00t as a mating call. disturbing. ) [00:13] ( Well, they make their mating call when they see the meatbun, so... ) [00:13] * Shigeru sweatdrops. "I appreciate it, Mei, but since you started carrying that sword around, you've changed." [00:13] ( No, they say WOOT! ) [00:13] ( W00t is the mating call. :P ) [00:13] * Chelsea steers the critters towards Mount Doom again. [00:13] ( I see. ) [00:13] * Mei-Yin lets go of Shigeru and eyes him suspiciously. [00:13] I've what? [00:14] You've changed. Become more agressive, angrier, and... You just haven't been yourself. [00:14] Oh really? [00:14] * Sai tenses up again. [00:14] Really. [00:15] * Shigeru bites his lip. "I wouldn't say it if I didn't mean it, Mei. I'm worried about you." [00:15] ( Back. ) [00:15] I haven't changed at all. I just how I've always been. [00:15] ( "We think you might have a sword addiction" ) [00:15] No, you aren't. Can't you see that? You haven't been the same since you got that thing. [00:15] * Chelsea bites her lip up in the driver's seat. [00:16] If I've changed, it's only for the better. And I don't think I've changed at all. [00:16] I think you've just seen more of me. [00:16] * Shigeru sighs. "More of you, huh." [00:17] ...So what happens when Suzaku comes to destroy you for wielding the sword? Do you intend to fight him? [00:17] * Mei-Yin smirks. [00:17] ( Well, duh. ) [00:17] I'm not going to fight him. [00:18] Then what're you going to do? [00:19] I'm going to kill him for thinking he's strong enough to take me from Shigeru. [00:19] ( s/Shigeru/you ) [00:19] ... [00:19] ... [00:19] He's killed at least two wielders of the sword before. Probably more. What makes you stronger than them? [00:20] * Eoi mumbles something. [00:20] ( /me snerks. Winamp just started playing "THe Power of Love" ) [00:20] They weren't fighting for the ones they loved. [00:20] ( I've got "Kain" here. Prolly more appropriate. ) [00:20] You don't know that. [00:20] ( Prolly. ) [00:20] * Shigeru shakes his head in disbelief. "He's a *god*, Mei." [00:21] ( Heh. 'The power of thy sword' came on during the fight, here. ^.^ ) [00:21] ( Mine started "It's a new day." ) [00:21] God, demon, whatever. They all die if you hit them enough. [00:21] ( I got "Who are you protecting" right when she started pulling out the Kenshin moves. ^_~ ) [00:22] Mei, something has gotten into you. You didn't use to think this way. [00:22] ( Woo! Mei has my philosophy! :P ) [00:22] /c "God. Demon. I'm the one with the sword." [00:22] He has? [00:22] ( Gah. ) [00:22] I've always been this way. I just didn't have the power before. [00:22] ( Fuck you too /c command. ) [00:22] * Eoi mumbles something. [00:23] * Shigeru frowns. "I still think it's the sword." [00:24] * Mei-Yin growls low in her throat. [00:24] It is NOT the sword! [00:24] Uh.. Shig.. I think she's getting upset. [00:24] I admit that I didn't know you before you had the sword. But you're an even angrier person than Saki, now. [00:24] That is a dirty lie Sai. Nobody is angrier then Saki. [00:25] Yeah, she is getting angry, isn't she? Wonder why. [00:25] *** Demota has quit IRC (Read error: Broken pipe ) [00:25] *** Demota has joined #BESM [00:25] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Demota [00:25] Uh... guys... [00:25] Eoi, you talked to her once. You don't exactly know her. [00:25] Don't piss off the sword-wielding nu... woman. [00:26] So what, you want me to get rid of the sword? You want a weak little woman to stand behind you and bake you cookies!? [00:26] Uh.. I don't think that is what he meant Mei. [00:27] He's just worried because you are so.. uh.. violent? I mean, maybe you could just get sword training and use a normal sword? [00:28] * Chelsea starts worrying, although she manages to keep it off her face. [00:28] No. I want Mei-Yin back. The real Mei-Yin, because I miss her and I'm worried about her. [00:28] Why should I? I've got a much better weapon in my hands right now! [00:29] So you're saying I'm not REAL!? [00:29] I'm a figment of your imagination?! [00:29] ... [00:29] Uh, no. [00:29] * Shigeru frowns. "No. I wouldn't give up my sight for a figment of my imagination." [00:29] He said that you are not acting like yourself. Nothing like that. And you really seem rather.. violent. Granted, I can't remember you before recently, but.. [00:29] * Mei-Yin snaps her attention back to Shigeru. [00:30] * Mei-Yin growls incoherently. [00:31] You gave up your sight for ME! Not some pansy girl who can't defend herself! ME! [00:31] * Norii knows better than to say anything. [00:32] I gave up my sight for you, and that sword is screwing with your head! [00:32] IT IS NOT! [00:33] ... [00:33] It is, Mei. Just look at how you're acting. How you've been acting. It's not you. [00:33] * Mei-Yin gets quiet. [00:34] * Eoi looks around. [00:35] [Eoi sees lotsa nothing. Fortunately, the demons Julian warned you about don't seem to be bothering you. At least, you think it's fortunate...] [00:35] * Mei-Yin looks down, hiding her eyes from Shigeru. [00:36] * Shigeru can't see her, anyway. But he does check her emotions, briefly. [00:36] ( *grab* "I found your eyes, Mei-Yin!" "AAARRRGGGHH!" ) [00:36] ( Demota, quiet. ) [00:36] ( Sorry. ) [00:36] * Mei-Yin 's mind is hidden once again by that same wall of incoherent rage. [00:37] I am... who I am... [00:37] Take it or leave it. [00:37] * Shigeru blinks. "Fuck. Mei, calm down." [00:37] Uh.. Shig. Should I stop the helltaxi, or is everything ok? [00:38] ( We should consider wrapping this up... ) [00:38] Everything isn't okay. You should probably keep going, though. We don't want to run out of time. [00:38] I'm calm. Perfectly calm. [00:38] You're lying. [00:38] And I'm waiting for an answer. [00:38] * Mei-Yin looks up at Shigeru, her eyes fairly burning with rage. [00:39] * Shigeru frowns. "Mei, I care a lot about you... hell, I might even love you. But I'm scared, and that sword... it's changing you." [00:39] ( Mei-Yin is bad at hiding her emotion, yes she is. ) [00:39] * Eoi frowns and peers backwards. "... I've got a bad feeling about this." [00:39] (Hello, I'm an empath, and I know that I really should be staying far, FAR away from you.) [00:39] If you loved me... you wouldn't be trying to make me weak again. [00:39] * Norii sees yet another perfect place not to say anything, and does so. [00:40] Is that what you think? [00:40] I'm not your perfect little girl, so you're trying to make me that way. [00:40] ... If you believe Shigeru is trying to do that, you don't know Shigeru very well. [00:41] The fuck are you talking about, Mei? You were never perfect, and I don't *want* perfection. I never did. I just wanted you, all right? And you're not being you. [00:42] I'M ME! [00:42] * Mei-Yin completely loses her composure... again. [00:43] ... [00:44] Uh... [00:44] You would be, if you dropped the goddamned sword. Think that it hasn't changed you? Prove it. [00:44] You know how to stop the carriage, right Eoi? [00:44] * Mei-Yin slowly regains her composure. [00:44] Yes. [00:44] Fine. If that's your answer... fine. [00:44] Good. You might need to, soon. [00:45] I've got a really bad feeling about this Chel. I'm not getting anything from her. Good. Evil. Truth. Anything. [00:45] * Mei-Yin thrusts her hand out to the side and her sword disappears. [00:45] * Mei-Yin turns away from Shigeru. [00:45] ( Can I just end it? :P ) [00:46] * Chelsea sighs. [00:46] ( Now? ((_@ ) [00:46] * Mei-Yin stands and looks forward. [00:46] ( That was the idea, yes. ) [00:47] ( blargh. ) [00:47] ( It's a dramatic end point. And I think Brett needs sleep. ) [00:47] [Session end]
