[21:15] [Day: Monday. Time: 6:30 PM] [21:16] ( Thank you Norii. ) [21:16] [After a lot of planning, MC may have came up with an idea to save Mei-Yin. Will it work? Hmm... They meet in the clubroom to discuss their plans.] [21:16] ( Don't worry I can be both places at once. ) [21:16] [Session Start [21:16] ( GAH. Back in a second! x.x ) [21:16] (*facepalm*) [21:17] ( ... Off to a great start already ) [21:17] ( Damn. Storm coming. If I suddenly vanish, that is why. ) [21:17] ( ... ) [21:18] ( I'm beginning to wonder if I should even bother running the game tonight. ) [21:18] ( I'm here, I'm here. ) [21:18] ( YES, you should. ) [21:18] * Shigeru leans against a wall. His hair's a mess, his eyes are bloodshot, and he's anxiously fingering the strap of his laptop case. [21:18] ( YES. ) [21:18] ( Back! ) [21:18] (Run, darnit. :P) [21:18] ( ::looks up:: YES. ) [21:19] * Eoi leans against a wall and thinks. [21:19] ( Woah. That storm came QUICK. ) [21:19] * Chelsea does not lean against a wall, but doesn't say much, either. She occasionally runs a hand through her hair, or rolls her shoulders, or wipes her hands on her pantlegs. [21:19] * Sai paces around the room. [21:19] ...so, what are you guys thinking? [21:20] Well.. we've got a few plans. [21:20] I'm going to try excorcism. [21:21] And if that doesn't work.. we try to use Norii's amnesia liquid to make her forget about the sword. That is our backup plan. [21:21] * Norii scrunches her eyebrows. [21:21] Are you strong enough? [21:21] I hope so. [21:22] * Shigeru frowns. "How do we know that the liquid will make her forget the right thing?" [21:22] We don't. That is why it's out backup plan. [21:22] Well, it would erase recent memories. Hopefully enough to cover the time she's had the sword. [21:23] There's a problem with that. [21:23] But...what do we do with the sword afterwards? [21:23] Give it to Saki. [21:23] Yes. [21:23] * Sai nods. [21:23] * Shigeru sighs. "Guys. Guys, listen for a second." [21:24] There's a problem with the amnesia thing. [21:24] What? [21:24] Huh? [21:24] If it makes her forget all the time that she had the sword, it'll make her forget another really important thing. [21:24] And that's how to control her power. And if she forgets *that*, well... [21:24] I thought she got that from a book? [21:25] She got it from a book, yeah. I guess she could read it again. If she still has it and knows she has it. [21:25] Trouble indeed. [21:25] And if she *doesn't*, then do you know what will happen? [21:25] What? [21:26] * Shigeru runs his hand through his hair and 'looks' down at the floor. "I didn't tell you guys this before, I think, but... I can't sense her anymore. Not really." [21:26] Couldn't that be because of the sword? [21:26] ... That bodes poorly. [21:27] Maybe. Do you want to risk it? [21:27] If we're wrong, we'd be turning her into a ghost. [21:27] * Chelsea frowns, but doesn't say anything. [21:28] It's a risk we have to take if we want to save her life. [21:28] I'm sorry, Shig, but is that really... worse? [21:28] * Eoi sighs. [21:28] Yes, it is. [21:28] Then.. unless someone has another idea.. we're stuck with Excorcism as our only plan. [21:28] No, dammit! We have to take a risk if we want to do this! [21:28] I- we could... try talking to her, I guess. It- I've gotta try, right? [21:29] Worst comes to worse, give her a big kiss. [21:29] That always works in the movies. [21:30] * Shigeru glares in Sai's general direction. ~I *won't* let you do that to her,~ he pushes into his mind. ~Do you understand?~ [21:30] * Sai winces. ~And what if you're wrong? What if you WILL be able to sense her without the sword? What if she still has the book?~ [21:31] ~Then you're rejecting our best option because it's risky. EVERYTHING about this is risky.~ [21:31] Well. We can't do the potion. Turning someone into.. a ghost is just wrong. Very wrong. So that leaves us with Plan A: Excorcism or plan B: Shigeru lays a big wet one on her. [21:32] Dammit all. The potion was our best bet. [21:32] ~Don't lecture me about risks. I almost killed her once. I almost destroyed her, and I won't let it happen again.~ [21:32] Maybe we should get Shigeru a ring. Worst comes to worst, he can propose. [21:33] * Chelsea runs a hand through her hair again [21:33] *** Mandoric has joined #besm [21:33] Stop joking. [21:33] You people are insane. [21:33] I'm not kidding. [21:33] A major shock could bring her out of it. [21:33] What could be more shocking then that? [21:34] * Eoi looks serious. [21:34] Saki said the shock shouldn't involve Shigeru, remember? Because she's obsessed with him. [21:34] .. Well then, Sai. [21:35] You propose to her. [21:35] * Shigeru chokes. [21:35] You're rejecting our best option because of a drawback that's probably just brought on by paranoia. [21:35] Dammit! [21:35] * Shigeru coughs a bunch of times. [21:35] Sai, that is too much of a risk. [21:35] That isn't something that I would wish on my worst enemy, let alone someone who is a sorta-friend. [21:35] * Chelsea comes out of whatever reverie she was in. "Are you alright, Shig?" [21:36] Eoi, get over it. This is not something to make fun of. [21:36] * Shigeru leans against the wall, gasping for breath. "Yeah... Sai proposing to Mei..." He snickers a little, despite himself. [21:37] * Sai scowls. "It's a much smaller risk than when we all risked our very souls going to hell." [21:37] * Chelsea smirks, shakes her head, and goes back to her ruminations. [21:37] No, it isn't. [21:38] Being forgotten by everyone, and forever unnoticed. That would be a hell worse then the one we visited. [21:38] Worse than being completely obliterated? Bullshit. [21:38] Yes, worse then complete obliteration. [21:38] ( Come on, that hell was better than New York :P ) [21:38] * Shigeru shakes his head. "Sai, you don't understand." [21:38] When we went to Hell, we were risking ourselves. This time, you're talking about risking someone else. [21:38] Complete Obliteration ... is quick. At least. [21:39] (Damn you people, rejecting the GMs hints. :P ) [21:39] To be forgotten. To lose everyone you ever loved, to be forced to remain outside the human race. That would be a hell beyond any I could imagine. [21:39] ( Who ever said the GM was right? :P ) [21:39] She'd still exist. And you people say you've been to heaven. She'd still have an afterlife when she died. [21:40] And if she was ignored there too? [21:40] Imagine that Sai. Spending eternity being unnoticed. [21:40] Except she has Shigeru. Even if she ends up like she was before, she has Shiggy. [21:40] No, Norii, she *wouldn't*. [21:40] Shigeru can't notice her anymore, remember? [21:40] I'm telling you, it's obvious the sword is blocking Shigeru from sensing her. [21:40] That's the point! If it's just because her powers are stronger, then I can't do a damn thing about it! I'll forget her just like everyone else. [21:40] ...what? [21:40] Damn it Sai! [21:41] What if you're wrong? [21:41] I could never LIVE with myself if I did that. [21:41] This isn't a risk we can take. [21:41] Well, yes, but that's an effect of the sword. That's because she is disappearing in that sense. If she is returned to the previous status quo... [21:41] Well, I can't live with leaving her like this. [21:41] If you don't like it, don't come along. [21:41] It's much more of a risk as she is now. [21:41] If it's just her memory, Norii, then it won't affect her powers. [21:42] I'm taking the potion, and if there's no other option, you'll have to kill me to stop me from using it. [21:42] ... [21:42] Norii, do you have the potion with you? [21:42] It's at my apartment. [21:42] Come with me. We're going to go get it. [21:43] But I agree with Sai. It's a backup, and a BAD one, but it's the only other option. [21:43] Fine. Let's go get it. I'll give you a ride. [21:43] Don't even think about trying something funny with it, Eoi. [21:43] *** Demota has joined #BESM [21:43] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Demota [21:44] Alright. I won't try anything funny with it. [21:44] Okay. [21:44] * Chelsea sighs, and runs a hand through her hair again. "We need more alternatives. Having one tactic that might not work and one that might make Mei into a thoughtless wreck isn't enough of a choice for my liking." [21:44] *** Demota is now known as DemoGame [21:44] I just don't trust you with it. Nothing personal. [21:44] *** DemoGaming has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) [21:45] * Sai shrugs. [21:45] * Eoi head out the door and motions for Norii to follow. [21:45] * Shigeru runs his hand through his hair. "I'll try talking to her. That isn't much, but..." [21:45] I don't really care what you think of me. [21:45] [As soon as Eoi opens the door, a girl on the other side loses her balance and falls face down into the room. [21:45] ] [21:45] * Eoi looks down. [21:45] *** Kirby is now known as Lei-Fang [21:45] Owww! [21:46] * Chelsea scowls at the girl. [21:46] * Shigeru turns his head in that direction. "Oh, Lei." [21:46] 'lo Lei-Fang. [21:46] * Norii stops short. [21:46] (w00t! Help with Excorcism!) [21:46] * Sai blinks. "Oh, you guys again." [21:46] Me and Norii have somewhere to go. We'll be right back. Instead of peering through the door, just ask next time. [21:47] * Eoi continues on. [21:47] *** Mandoric has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) [21:47] * Lei-Fang moves into a sitting position and rubs her head. "Uh... H- Hello! I wasn't listening in or anything I just happened to be in the area and though maybe you'd like to order Chinese food! [21:47] ...right. [21:47] * Chelsea blinks, and then her face softens and she shakes her head. [21:47] * Eoi motions for Norii to follow. [21:47] * Norii comes along. [21:47] Stop lying, Lei. [21:47] ( Norii and Eoi, join #NoriiPlace ) [21:48] If you and your sister want to help, that's fine. [21:48] Uhhh.... [21:48] * Lei-Fang stands up and stares down at her feet. "Actually, I don't really know what the problem is." [21:49] Shigeru's uh, friend is possessed. [21:50] Oh, possession? Did you try exorcism? [21:50] Not yet. [21:50] *** Mu-Tsu is now known as Darkheart [21:50] Eoi's going to try. I don't know how good he is at it. [21:51] We fully intend to, however. I don't suppose you and your sister would mind helping out? Eoi's competent at exorcism, but this is likely a very powerful possession. [21:51] (Dammit, will one of you guys PLEASE remember that these guys were good enough to banish Vicki's father? ^^;) [21:51] Uhh... [21:51] ( I found that really unfair. Us PCs can't do shit, and they can. ) [21:52] ( Actually, that was me being nice. I originally planned to kill her :P ) [21:53] (Oh, fine. Turn away help because you're too proud to be helped by an NPC.) [21:53] * Lei-Fang smiles nervously. "Well... Mei-Fang's a bit busy or she'd be here to sp- Uh! Offer help herself, but I'll do what I can!" [21:54] ( It's not fun to be helped by an NPC. It makes us feel useless. ) [21:54] * Chelsea decides to ignore the slip and nods. "Thank you. We can probably use all the help we can get in this." [21:55] Oh, sure! It's no problem. [21:55] ( Better to be helped by an NPC than to sacrifice a PC. ) [21:55] * Lei-Fang lifts up her fists and does some shadowboxing. "I'll just give her a one-two, and -waaah!" She tries a kick and falls flat on her back. [21:56] * Shigeru hears the thud. "Maybe you should stick to exorcism." [21:57] * Lei-Fang gets up and nods. "Uh-huh! But if it's not a spirit, it helps to knock it out first." [21:57] I see. [21:57] * Sai nods. "Thanks for the suggestion." [21:57] * Lei-Fang pulls out one of the Chinese wards Eoi gets so jealous of. "Then you just use one of these to-" There's a tearing sound as she accidently rips it. "... eep?" [21:57] * Shigeru sighs. [21:58] ...I hope you have spares. [21:58] * Norii walks back it. [21:58] ( In, even. ) [21:58] * Eoi returns. [21:58] Umm... [21:58] ... [21:58] * Lei-Fang scratches the back of her head nervously. "Nope! that was the last one!" [21:58] * Chelsea shakes her head sadly. [21:58] * Sai facepalms. [21:59] * Shigeru waves in the door's general direction, hears that, and bangs his head backwards against the wall. Once. [21:59] We've still got time. You can go and get more. [21:59] I'll go see if sis has any more. Good luck! [21:59] Thanks. [22:00] * Lei-Fang runs away, tripping at least twice before reaching the elevator. [22:00] *** Lei-Fang is now known as Kirby [22:00] Thanks, Lei. I think. [22:00] Maybe she can get her sister to help. She seemed more competent. [22:01] We could use both, frankly. [22:01] Mm. [22:01] [The phone rings.] [22:02] * Eoi answers the phone. "Hello?" [22:02] Yep. [22:03] Gonna try an excorcism. [22:03] * Norii wants to answer the phone in NNG! [22:03] ( ) [22:03] We've got a few minor backup ideas, but that is our main idea for the moment. [22:03] Is it Saki? [22:03] I sure hope so. [22:04] You want to talk to her? [22:04] Really? [22:04] What exactly are we going to do with the sword when we get it away from her? [22:05] * Sai shrugs. "Don't really have anything to say, but we could use her help for this." [22:05] Hm. [22:06] Well. We're going to try to knock her out and excorcise her. Any way someone could pick up the sword without it taking over? [22:07] OK. We'll meet you there. [22:07] You're coming to pick us.. ok. Sounds fine to me. [22:07] Saki's coming to pick us up. [22:08] * Eoi calmly goes to a nearby window. He opens it up, pulls a vial out of his pocket and tosses it out the window. [22:08] Fine. And as for knocking her out, what are you going to use? [22:08] And that solves that problem. [22:08] Everyone ready to go? [22:08] Good grief. [22:08] I suppose. [22:08] * Norii runs to the window. [22:08] *** Kirby2 has joined #besm [22:08] Don't throw biohazard stuff away like that! [22:08] So sorry. Can't have you using that on Mei-Yin. [22:09] * Norii is visibly upset. [22:09] * Shigeru blinks and thinks to Chelsea, ~What happened?~ [22:09] Sorry, but it was the quickest way to get rid of the stuff. [22:09] Fuck you, Eoi. [22:09] Oh, and I kept my promise. No funny stuff. I didn't find that funny at all. [22:09] I don't care about whether we use it on her or not, but you dispose of biowaste properly. DAMMIT. [22:09] ~ I think he just threw away the amnesia liquid. Out the window. I so hope it doesn't land on someone.~ [22:09] You know, I think I know what happened now. [22:09] If Mei Yin dies, her blood is on your hands. [22:09] [The vial shatters on the ground. Hopefully nobody will breathe it in] [22:10] * Eoi grins. "Again, sorry Norii. Next time I get rid of evil amnesia juice, I'll take it to a proper facility." [22:10] She isn't going to die Sai. [22:10] * Shigeru frowns. "Shut the fuck up, Sai." [22:10] I won't let her. [22:10] * Norii shakes her head. [22:10] Anyway, Saki is going to meet us outside, so let's go. [22:11] For heaven's sake, stay away from where that broke if you value your grades. [22:11] * Shigeru stands up straight and extends his walking stick, then heads out. [22:11] * Eoi walks out the door, and heads outside. Making SURE to avoid the nice liquid. [22:11] * Sai scowls and stalks out the door. Avoiding the spill of course. [22:11] Idiot. [22:11] * Chelsea walks along at Shigeru's side. [22:11] ( remember you guys are on the 10th floor :P ) [22:12] ( I know. That is why I mentioned outside. ) [22:12] * Eoi shrugs. [22:12] * Norii goes along, shaking her head. Idiot. [22:12] I may be an Idiot, but Mei-Yin isn't going to become a ghost as long as I'm around. [22:12] * Shigeru smiles slightly at that. ~Thanks, Eoi,~ he thinks to him. [22:12] No, she's just going to kill us all and then be killed by Suzaku. [22:13] * Eoi grins. [22:13] She isn't going to kill us. [22:13] What will be, will be. Think positivly Sai. [22:13] I was thinking positively until you ditched our best option. Now I have nothing to be positive about. [22:14] Naw, naw. As scary as this sounds, I'M our best option. We have tons of better options then that. [22:15] ( Everyone with heightened awareness or heightened senses: hearing, make a mind roll. ) [22:15] * Sai snorts. "God help us all." [22:15] (How about I'm Blind, So I Have Nothing Else To Rely On? Or does that not work? ^_^) [22:15] * Eoi grins. "I sure hope he does." [22:16] ( Nope. That doesn't count :P ) [22:16] (Drat. :P Knew I should've picked up Heightened Senses.) [22:17] ( Erm... Nobody has it? c.c ) [22:17] (Does anyone have Heightened Awareness? ^_^;) [22:17] ( Norii does ) [22:17] ( I have HA. ) [22:18] ( HA 2. ) [22:18] (Then use it!) [22:18] ( So... -2? ) [22:18] (No, -4.) [22:18] ( -2 per level. ) [22:18] ( sorry, had to dig out the sheet. ) [22:18] 2d6-4 [22:18] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Norii (2d6-4) and gets 4. [22:20] * Sai looks in Shigeru's direction. "Just so you know, I'm not going to pull any punches in trying to knock her out." [22:20] * Norii squints. [22:20] Is that a helicopter? [22:20] * Eoi peers. [22:20] Probably. [22:20] Saki seems the type to love the stylish entrances. [22:20] What? [22:20] * Shigeru shrugs. "Fine, Sai." [22:20] [Now that Norii's pointed it out, there's a chopper overhead that's rather close, yet it's incredibly quiet. [22:21] ] [22:21] * Norii looks around. [22:21] ...uh oh. [22:21] ... What? [22:21] What? [22:21] * Chelsea blinks, and turns to look at the helicoptor. [22:22] * Eoi peers at the helecopter. [22:22] * Sai looks up and tries to see the helicopter. [22:22] [The chopper decends low to the ground, and a side door opens up. Saki's sitting in the pilot seat, with Richard behind a mounted chaingun. "Get in." [22:22] *** Richard has joined #BESM [22:22] *** Kirby is now known as Saki [22:22] * Eoi shrugs and hops in. "You sure love the fancy entrances Saki." [22:23] * Richard nods his massive head at the group from behind the chaingun mount. [22:23] * Sai nods. "Right." [22:23] Hi guys. [22:23] .me is impressed, and gets in. [22:23] * Sai gets in. [22:23] Need help getting in Shig? [22:23] * Shigeru taps his way toward the helicopter. "Probably." [22:23] Here, I'll give you a hand. [22:23] * Chelsea does that. [22:23] * Saki waits for everyone to get in. "Don't care about that. We've got to make sure not to attract the public eye, and we need firepower." [22:24] * Eoi helps Chelsea and Shig. [22:24] * Shigeru gets in. "Thanks." [22:24] Yeah, looks like you've got it. [22:24] * Richard grins at the mention of the word 'firepower'. [22:24] Once we actually get to the tower, though, Suzaku's appearance will take care of the rest. [22:24] * Eoi grins. "Looks like you have enough to demolish Tokyo Tower." [22:25] * Chelsea frowns. [22:25] * Saki lifts off once everyone's in. "So, your plan is to exorcise the weapon?" [22:25] If it comes to that. [22:25] Pretty much. It's our best bet. [22:25] * Shigeru takes a seat. "Suzaku's going to show?" [22:25] We're going to slow Suzaku and his minions while you deal with your friend. [22:25] It's our only choice, now. [22:25] And he's bringing friends. Fun. [22:25] Thanks Saki. [22:25] * Saki nods. "I'm betting on it." [22:26] * Eoi grins. "Big dramatic showdown at Tokyo Tower. We should be in movies." [22:26] Hell. Thanks for the support, Saki. [22:26] Let's hit it then. We gotta hurry. [22:26] * Shigeru shakes his head. "Movies. That's what Mei used to say." [22:26] Don't worry about it. I've been looking forwards to finishing the damn thing off. [22:27] Don't worry Shig. We'll get her back. [22:27] I hope so. [22:27] We will. [22:27] * Saki pilots towards Tokyo tower. "Remember, if it doesn't work, you can try to keep the weapon away from her, or her away from it. [22:28] I don't know if it'd work, but it's a possibility. [22:28] Got it. Disarm her and kick the damn thing off the tower. [22:28] No! [22:28] She'll jump after the thing. Remember? [22:28] ... Good point. [22:28] Not off the tower. [22:28] She'd jump after it. [22:28] Yeah. We just keep her away from it. [22:28] She'd jump. [22:28] I know, I know. ^_^; [22:29] * Saki nods. "That won't work. She'll do anything to get it back if she loses it. Trust me on this." [22:29] We know. She jumped into a hellpit to do it last time. [22:29] Don't toss the thing anywhere until someone's holding her. [22:29] Don't hold it at *all*. [22:30] Kick the sucker. [22:30] Don't touch it. [22:30] Don't even do that. Push it off with something. [22:30] It was bad enough when Mei-Yin had it. In the hands of someone with combat training.. [22:30] * Eoi nods. "I'll push it off with my Naginata." [22:30] * Chelsea chuckles. "So we'll be playing keepaway. Wonderful." [22:30] ... No, that's not a good idea, either. [22:30] Jesus christ. Do you have a weapon-pushing stick then? [22:30] If a civilian gets a hold of it, it'll make matters worse. [22:31] Just push it out of the way and keep her from getting to it. [22:31] (sarcastic) Oh, Eoi will just toss it out the window. [22:31] *** mandoric has joined #besm [22:31] Can't you .. block off the area? [22:31] [The chopper approaches the tower.] [22:31] Hey, out the window. Now there is a great idea. [22:31] * Eoi grins. [22:31] Well folks. Here we go. [22:31] It's done already. [22:31] That doesn't always stop people. [22:31] True. [22:32] * Chelsea runs a hand through her hair and rolls her shoulders. [22:32] This won't be easy, but easy isn't for Mystery Club. [22:32] The current report is a terrorist has taken hostages at the tower. The terrorist resembles Mei-Yin Chao. [22:32] So how immobilized do we need her? [22:32] Shit. [22:32] Hostages? Dammit. [22:32] It's a cover story. [22:32] * Chelsea frowns. [22:33] Oh. So she's there by herself? [22:33] After this incident, Interpol will apprehend the terrorist, revealing that she was not Mei Yin Chao at all. [22:33] * Saki nods. "For now." [22:33] Right. [22:33] Ok then. [22:33] * Shigeru closes his eyes and tries to relax. He fails miserably, but it's the thought that counts. [22:33] * Richard pops his neck, which makes a very loud noise. He begins checking things on the chaingun. [22:34] [The chopper passes over a police line below. No sooner does it do so than the entire tower suddenly appears ablaze.] [22:34] ... Shit. [22:34] ...here he is. [22:34] * Saki curses. "Damn. He's here." [22:34] Now that's something you don't see every day. [22:34] I think we may be a bit late. [22:34] *** DamienRoc is on IRC [22:34] * Saki points. "No, look over there." [22:35] * Eoi looks. [22:35] * Sai looks. [22:35] * Chelsea looks, too. Why not? [22:35] [The flaming-haired bishonen is on the ground, walking slowly towards the tower. His flaming minions are rapidly climbing the sides.] [22:35] * Shigeru looks through Eoi's eyes. "Gonna take care of that, Saki?" [22:35] Mmm. [22:36] Just unload some bullets into his girly ass. [22:36] * Saki nods. "Yeah. We'll let you off here." She pilots the chopper near the balcony on top of the tower. "Ok, good luck." [22:36] * Richard smirks at that. [22:36] * Norii hops off. [22:36] * Sai gets out. "You too, Saki. Don't get shot down." [22:36] * Eoi hops off and pulls his Naginata out. [22:36] * Saki smirks. "Worry more about yourself. [22:36] * Norii draws her pistol immmediately. [22:36] * Shigeru stands and doesn't move much. [22:37] Good luck to you too Saki. We've just got a possesed girl, you've got a god. [22:37] * Chelsea hops off the helicoptor, drawing her sword and casting dagger. [22:37] Need help Shig? [22:37] You think? [22:37] I've faced worse. [22:37] * Sai chants his shielding spell, forming his familiar blue barrier. [22:37] I'm sure you have. ^_^ [22:38] * Saki waits for Shig to get off. [22:38] * Eoi hops back onto the chopper, and helps Shigeru off. [22:38] * Chelsea waves her casting dagger. "My Magic Shield." [22:38] * Shigeru taps carefully to the edge of the helicopter and Eoi helps him down. "Thanks." [22:38] Not a problem. [22:38] * Saki nods and pilots the chopper down. A few minutes later you can hear the gattling gun firing. [22:39] I don't suppose you can sense Mei-Yin Shig? [22:39] * Sai looks around. [22:39] *** Saki is now known as Kirby [22:39] *** Richard has left #BESM [22:39] ( Cue "Telepathic Radar" ) [22:39] (*laughs*) [22:39] ( Heh. ^_^ ) [22:40] * Shigeru concentrates briefly, then sighs. "No. Like I told you... well. I'll keep trying anyway, but don't count on it." [22:40] Ok. Everyone, keep an eye out. Let's move forward. [22:40] * Sai nods. [22:41] * Eoi slowly heads deeper into the tower, looking every direction he can for Mei-Yin. [22:41] * Norii stays somewhat behind Eoi. [22:41] * Chelsea nods and follows, making sure to stay near Shigeru. [22:41] * Shigeru taps along, his face oddly blank. [22:41] o/~ Nothin' ventured, nothin' gained! Feel no sorrow, feel no pain! o/~ [22:41] ( Oops. () that. ) [22:41] ( ^_^; ) [22:41] ( ^_^; ) [22:42] ( ((_^; ) [22:42] [It doesn't take long. Mei is on the other side of the balcony. She finishes off two of the fire guys just as MC comes into view.] [22:42] We've found her Shig. [22:43] You wanna try talking to her? [22:43] MEEEEIII! [22:43] ... [22:43] Or you can do that. [22:43] ( Okay, you guys are gonna need to give Brett and I a little time. This is gonna be... interesting. ) [22:43] * Shigeru blinks. "Looks like Norii already started," he says, deadpan. [22:43] Well, he can still talk to her. [22:44] * Chelsea sighs. [22:44] * Sai frowns and watches Mei intently. [22:44] What, were we going to sneak up on her? [22:45] *** ChamInnaRevue is now known as Chamelaeon [22:45] No, but maybe Shigeru talking to her instead of you shouting "MEI" would have been a better start. [22:46] * Chelsea stands ready and waits. [22:46] Well... sorry. [22:48] * Mei-Yin turns toward the group. "I've been waiting for you." [22:48] [A voice overlaps Mei's: deep, and masculine. "I've been waiting for you."] [22:48] *** Kirby is now known as Voice [22:48] Neat trick Sword. [22:48] * Shigeru snaps his head towards the voice. [22:50] * Sai scowls. "So what's your name? Ambition Jr.?" [22:50] No, no. Amby-chan. [22:50] ( Son of Ambition. ) [22:50] * Shigeru snerks. [22:50] * Chelsea smirks. [22:51] Why don't you just let Mei-Yin go and make this easy for us? [22:51] ( Oi, this is harder to do than you think :P ) [22:51] Never before have I been able to evolve so quickly before being struck down, but thanks to you, I am finally almost at my full strength. [22:52] (Than we think? Aww, man.) [22:52] Never before have I been able to evolve so quickly before being struck down, but thanks to you, I am finally almost at my full strength." [22:52] So.. you're finally at 100% of your full power. You sound like a Dragonball Z villian. [22:53] * Chelsea thankfully doesn't get that reference. [22:53] * Mei-Yin looks at Shigeru. "There's only one thing left that I must do." [22:53] There's only one thing that left I must do. [22:53] ( Roll init, you happy people, you ) [22:53] Let me guess. [22:53] d6+7 [22:53] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Eoi (d6+7) and gets 12. [22:54] d6+6 [22:54] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Shigeru (d6+6) and gets 8.

I'm rolling on Dicey in another room, so I'm getting the Dice Hate, too. ) [23:02] [Chelsea's shield deflects the blow, but it's weakened.] [23:02] * Mei-Yin flings the katana out sideways from the flash, not bringing it back around. It becomes apparent why when she whips the saya around to catch Chelsea from the same direction. [23:03] ( Def again? ) [23:03] ( 'Nother roll, Chel ) [23:03] 2d6-4 [23:03] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chelsea (2d6-4) and gets -1.

[23:07] [Norii's turn] [23:07] ...damn! Do I shoot her? [23:07] Shoot her in the leg or something! [23:08] * Norii winces, then pulls the trigger, shooting low. [23:08] 2d6-2 [23:08] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Norii (2d6-2) and gets 9. [23:08] Knock her out! [23:09] [Norii shoots low, all right. Too low. The bullet PING!s harmlessly off the ground near Mei's feet.] [23:09] [Shig's turn] [23:10] * Shigeru takes a step forward, keeping track of what's going on through the other's eyes. "Mei!" he calls desperately. "Can you hear me? Please!" [23:10] *** CharleSleep has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) [23:11] *** DemoGame is now known as Demota [23:12] The girl no longer exists.

[23:15] 2d6-5 [23:15] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chelsea (2d6-5) and gets 3. [23:16] (C'mon, Mei, crit fail!) [23:17] * Mei-Yin slips like water around Chelsea's attack, flowing inside her guard into a VERY bad position for Chelsea. [23:17] [Mei's turn] [23:17] (Go to hell, Dicesuke.) [23:18] ( Yeah. That's some dicehate Mei's gettin'. ;P ) [23:18] * Mei-Yin crosses her arms in front of her, the sword splitting in two and forming into nasty looking blades on the back of each hand. She whips her hands outward, each slicing at Chelsea's gut. [23:18] ( Oh, yeah. Roll in here why don't you? ) [23:18] ( Actually, it took two DR's. ) [23:18] ( Because you're bribing Dicesuke!

[23:20] ( It's being as beneficial as it can in her current state of mind. ) [23:20] [Eoi's turn] [23:20] * Eoi tries again. [23:20] 2d6-4 [23:20] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Eoi (2d6-4) and gets 3. [23:20] ( Made it. ) [23:20] * Chelsea allows herself to smirk. [23:21] * Mei-Yin flows forward out of the light towards Chelsea. [23:21] *** Kirby2 is now known as FlamingHumanoid [23:21] * FlamingHumanoid climbs over the side of the tower behind MC at this point. [23:21] [Norii's turn] [23:21] ( Gahhh... ) [23:22] ( That should be after Norii. Oh well :P ) [23:22] ( Do I see it? ) [23:22] ( Sure ) [23:22] * Norii is still nervous about shooting at a teammate, so she chooses to peg the... whateveritis. [23:23] 2d6-3 [23:23] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Norii (2d6-3) and gets 3. [23:23] [Norii's bullet strikes the flame-thing. It seems to take injury, but is still standing.] [23:23] [Shigeru's turn] [23:24] * Shigeru ignores the flame thing, assuming he even knows it's there. His eyes flicker. "You're lying!" he yells at Mei. "You have to be, or you wouldn't be doing this!" [23:25] [Sai's turn] [23:26] * Sai glares at Mei and readjusts his aim, firing again. "SOUL BURST!" [23:26] 2d6-2 [23:26] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Sai (2d6-2) and gets 3. [23:28] * Mei-Yin doesn't see it coming, focused as she is on Chelsea, and is thrown to the side. [23:29] * Sai pumps his fist. "Yes!" [23:29] [Mei is not thrown so much as blasted] [23:29] [Chelsea's turn] [23:29] * Mei-Yin is most definitely not down. [23:30] * Shigeru 'watches' in horror. [23:30] * Chelsea stays back to guard Shig (holding action). [23:30] [Mei's turn] [23:31] [And it should be noted that while Mei's not down, she doesn't look so hot.] [23:32] * Mei-Yin spins, the razors on her wrists flowing and elongating into the huge-ass zanbatou last seen in use against Chel's grandma. She keeps spinning as it solidifies, whipping the blade in a circle that includes both Chelsea and Sai. [23:32] *** Mechalink has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) [23:32] ( Def? ) [23:32] ( Sai, def. ) [23:32] 2d6 [23:32] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Sai (2d6) and gets 7. [23:33] ( Nice effect. ) [23:33] [Sai's shield is severly weakened] [23:33] * Mei-Yin keeps going, momentum helping her along as the blade slices through the air, leaving an easily audible wooshing sound.

[23:33] 2d6-4 [23:33] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chelsea (2d6-4) and gets 3. [23:34] ( Made it. ) [23:34] ( 3 is a fun number. ) [23:34] [No such luck this time for Mei. Chel's held action] [23:34] * Mei-Yin jerks the blade to a halt, hands far, far apart on its five foot shaft.

[23:38] ( Wow. nice roll. ) [23:39] * Mei-Yin brings the haft of her immense sword up, but it's not fast enough and Chelsea's sword leaves a red welt on her cheek. [23:40] *** Mechalink has joined #besm [23:40] [Eoi's turn] [23:40] * Eoi shrugs, pulls out a spirit ward and tries to stick it on Mei-Yin. [23:40] 2d6-5 [23:40] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Eoi (2d6-5) and gets -1. [23:40] ( Made it. ) [23:41] ( Dicey is friendly today. *hands over a Dicebot snack* ^_^ ) [23:41] * Mei-Yin turns the blade in the air, letting the ward slice itself in half. "Not a chance, foolish mortal." [23:41] Not a chance, foolish mortal. [23:41] [Norii's turn] [23:41] ( Of course. ((_-; ) [23:42] * Norii looks for a vital spot, shrugs, and pops the burningguythingy in the head. [23:42] 2d6-2 [23:42] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Norii (2d6-2) and gets 6. [23:43] [Norii succeeds! The thing's head pops, and it disintagrates. Annoyingly enough, another one climbs over the railing just after.] [23:43] [Shigeru's turn] [23:43] That's annoying! [23:43] ( *snerk* ) [23:45] * Shigeru keeps trying to get through to her, tears stinging the corners of his eyes. "Mei, I know you're in there. You have to be. I- I love you, okay? I love you, and I'm sorry." [23:45] ( BRB. ::Dashes:: ) [23:47] Silence, mortal! [23:47] Silence, mortal! [23:47] [Sai's turn] [23:47] * Sai narrows his eyes. "SOUL BURST!"

[23:51] * Mei-Yin jerks the zanbatou around and catches the blade on the haft, more fully this time. "You won't get me with the same trick twice, mortal." [23:51] You won't get me with the same trick twice, mortal. [23:52] [Mei's turn] [23:52] * Chelsea pouts. "Awww. Too bad. And don't call me 'mortal'." [23:53] * Mei-Yin pivots past Chelsea, the blade melting off the haft, leaving only a quarterstaff, which she whips at Sai. [23:53] ( Defense, Sai. ) [23:53] 2d6 [23:53] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Sai (2d6) and gets 10. [23:53] (DR) [23:53] 2d6 [23:53] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Sai (2d6) and gets 9. [23:53] (Screw you, Dicesuke.) [23:53] ( Sai gets smacked. ) [23:54] * Mei-Yin pivots, keeping both ends of the staff high to hit both Chelsea and Sai at once. [23:54] [Sai gets whacked in the side. The attack pierces his shield, and injures him as well.] [23:54] ( For that last one, that is. ) [23:54] * Mei-Yin overestimates the length of her staff, though, and doesn't hit either. [23:55] [Eoi's turn] [23:55] * Eoi tries another spirit ward. [23:55] 2d6-5 [23:55] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Eoi (2d6-5) and gets 3.

[23:57] Are you guys making any progress? [23:58] No. [23:58] [The thing is shot in the head and goes the way of the first one. Another hops up behind it, though.] [23:58] [Shigeru's turn] [23:58] Some. [00:00] * Shigeru continues talking, his voice growing steadier as time goes on. "What are you afraid of, anyway? That Mei's stronger than you thought? She knows that I love her; she heard me. And she's going to beat you." [00:01] Fool! It is because of her strength that I shall be so powerful! [00:01] Fool! It is because of her strength that I shall be so powerful! [00:01] [Chelsea's turn] [00:02] (What about me?) [00:02] ( Whoops! ) [00:02] [Sai's turn] [00:03] (Can I raise a new shield?)

(15 damage) [00:04] 2d6-2 [00:04] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Sai (2d6-2) and gets 5. [00:06] * Mei-Yin utterly fails to block the sphere and goes to one knee briefly before straightening up angrily. [00:06] * Mei-Yin licks up a small trail of blood leaking from the corner of her mouth. [00:06] [Chel's turn. And Mei does not look good, nosiree] [00:07] * Chelsea decides to call her opponent's bluff and goes for a knockout, attempting to whip Mei in the head with the flat of her sword again. [00:07] 2d6-5 [00:07] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chelsea (2d6-5) and gets 7, a CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "God hates you, and so do I." [00:07] ( Woo! This is gonna suck! ) [00:09] * Mei-Yin whips the quarterstaff around as she spins nibly away from the rapier, hitting Chelsea in the ribs with a dull *THUD* "I told you, stupid mortal." [00:09] "I told you, stupid mortal." [00:10] [Chelsea's shield shimmers, barely still standing] [00:10] [Mei's turn] [00:10] * Chelsea snarls goodnaturedly. [00:12] * Mei-Yin spins as her staff sprouts a wicked looking curved blade from each end. She whips it in a furiously fast circular pattern, slashing cruelly at Chelsea in two places at once. [00:12] ( Two defense rolls, Chel. ) [00:12] 2d6-4 [00:12] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chelsea (2d6-4) and gets -1.

Eoi didn't gimme time to describe my dodge. ;_; ) [00:14] * Mei-Yin is still spinning from her attack and slices the ward to ribbons as it approaches. [00:14] ( -_- ) [00:14] ( I hate you, Dicey. ) [00:14] [Norii] [00:14] ( You can still try to describe it. :P ) [00:14] ( Of course. Because lord knows I do anything useful, world ends. ) [00:15] Well... dang. [00:15] ( ::yanks on Demo's tongue while it's out in the air:: The moment has passed. ) [00:15] * Norii shoots to kill.

"Come on, Mei, I know you're in there somewhere. You can do this." He pushes forward and tries to force his way past the layers around her mind. [00:18] ( Idle to take out the trash. ) [00:20] [Sai's turn] [00:20] (Can I raise shield now?) [00:21] ( Nope. It takes time to regenerate. ) [00:21] (Oh.)

[00:24] ( Ked realizes his power supply fan is sounding pretty ragged. ) [00:25] * Chelsea remains in a defensive posture. (Holding action.) [00:25] [Mei's turn] [00:26] * Mei-Yin raises the staff in one hand and it melts into the form of a no-dachi. She lowers it to point directly at Shigeru's head. [00:27] *** Protoman has joined #besm [00:27] [Eoi's turn] [00:27] Ward to the Head! [00:27] * Eoi tries yet again. [00:27] 2d6-5 [00:27] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Eoi (2d6-5) and gets -3, "That's a critical success, don't think this means I like you." [00:27] ( ... ) [00:27] ( ... Woah. ) [00:27] ( Woo! ) [00:27] ( ... Woah. ) [00:27] ( Yeah Dicey! ) [00:27] *** Mechalink has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) [00:28] [Mei topples over. Thud!] [00:28] *** Protoman is now known as Mechalink [00:28] ( Gah! Keanu Reeves has invaded both of our heads! @_@ ) [00:28] x_x [00:28] ( Shush, Dem. ) [00:28] * Chelsea blinks. "Good job, Eoi." [00:28] ... Woah. [00:28] [Chel's action] [00:28] [Norii's turn] [00:29] Get the sword away from her somehow Chel! [00:29] * Shigeru takes a sharp breath. "Mei!" [00:29] * Norii continues to shoot at the oncoming demons. [00:29] 2d6-2 [00:29] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Norii (2d6-2) and gets 4. [00:29] ( Need I say I'm clledshotting? ) [00:30] [Norii's good at obliterating them, huh? Unfortunately, this time Mr. Flamey himself floats up.] [00:30] *** Voice is now known as Suzaku [00:30] Oh, dear. [00:30] Uh, guys? [00:30] * Chelsea looks at Suzaku and smirks. [00:30] .... Shit. [00:30] [Shig's turn] [00:31] * Shigeru stumbles over to Mei, using the other's sight to guide him. He reaches his hand towards the sword and tries to telekinetically push it away. [00:32] [Sai's turn] [00:33] * Sai positions himself between Mei and Suzaku. "Give us a moment. You can have the sword, just let us get it away from her." [00:33] [Chelsea's turn] [00:34] * Chelsea faces Suzaku and changes to an offensive stance. [00:34] ( Holding action, yo. ) [00:34] *** Richard has joined #BESM [00:34] [The door opens, and Rich and Saki charge onto the balcony.] [00:34] *** FlamingHumanoid is now known as Saki [00:35] 'bout time you showed up. [00:35] [Eoi's turn] [00:35] Damn! Sorry, he destroyed the chopper. [00:35] * Eoi focuses on exorcism. 'cuz, that is why he is here after all. [00:35] 2d6-4 [00:35] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Eoi (2d6-4) and gets 0. [00:35] ( Yes. ) [00:35] * Richard charges in, holding a rifle. He grunts threateningly at Suzaku. [00:35] 2d6+4 [00:35] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Mei-Yin (2d6+4) and gets 16, a CRITICAL FAILURE!!! "God hates you, and so do I." [00:35] (Yeeeah.) [00:35] ( ...daaaamn. ) [00:36] ( Eoi: Congrats. Dicey loves you now. ) [00:36] ( ... ) [00:36] ( You're a good man, Dicesuke. ) [00:36] [The spirit visibly leaves the sword, shrieking] [00:36] ( Now you gotta love him in return. ) [00:36] ( Gimme some loving, big boy. ) [00:36] * Eoi grins and spins his Naginata. "Victory!" [00:36] Hrmm. How... unexpected. [00:36] ( /me glomps Dicesuke. ) [00:37] * Chelsea changes from a smirk to an outright grin. [00:37] I- Eoi, did it work? [00:37] Geez, if it was that easy, we should have done this long ago. [00:37] It worked. [00:37] * Sai turns and looks at Eoi and Mei, and smiles widely. "You...you did it." [00:38] * Eoi grins widly. [00:38] Huh. It wasn't easy at all. You guys just got lucky. [00:38] * Eoi turns to face Suzaku. [00:38] I wouldn't know, Eoi did all the hard work. [00:39] So mortals are capable of such things after all. I never would have imagined. [00:39] Very well done, Eoi. [00:39] * Shigeru smiles shakily and pulls Mei into a hug as a few tears trickle down his cheeks. "He did it," he whispers to her, even though she's unconscious. "You're okay now." [00:39] * Sai looks back to Suzaku. "So what happens now?" [00:39] Never underestimate humanity. [00:40] Now? I'm going back to my realm. I've grown weary of chasing the accursed weapon. [00:40] I can appreciate that. [00:40] Sounds good to me. [00:40] Can't say I blame you. [00:40] * Chelsea shrugs. "That's it, then? Alright, go. And do have a nice day." [00:41] ...so the sword itself is actually uncursed now? [00:41] * Suzaku turns around and walks off the balcony over thin air. He vanishes in flames. "Perhaps we shall meet again. Farewell." [00:41] * Richard grunts in a generally agreeable way. [00:41] Well. That went a lot better then we could have expected. [00:41] * Saki walks over to the sword, picks it up, and studies it. "Yeah, seems to be." [00:41] Huh. [00:41] * Sai sags in relief, and...starts crying. "It-it's finally over." [00:42] *** Suzaku has quit IRC (Quit: ) [00:42] * Chelsea looks around and sheathes her sword and dagger. "Well. This should be interesting." [00:42] * Eoi grins. [00:42] Well. It's over. [00:42] ( Whoo! ) [00:42] * Norii smiles and shakes her head. "For some reason, I thought we were trying to exorcise Mei, not the sword itself. [00:42] I wonder if it can still do tricks? [00:42] * Saki shrugs and buries the sword point down in the floor. "Pretty sharp, but it's just a stupid sword now." [00:42] *** Twoflower is on IRC [00:42] A-a-ambition's gone. For good. [00:42] * Chelsea nods. [00:43] Go ahead and keep it as a souvinier. [00:43] ( Whoo! Souvenier! ) [00:43] * Richard grunts cheerfully. [00:43] ( Gah. There's a typo ) [00:43] Eh. We'll have to ask Mei when she recovers. [00:43] She may never want to see it again. [00:43] Very possible. [00:43] * Mei-Yin moans softly. [00:44] * Chelsea nods. "If that's the case, I could start a collection." She chuckles. [00:44] * Sai goes and hugs Saki, still crying. [00:44] Mei? [00:44] ( Geez. First line as herself, and she's already drooling over Shig ) [00:44] * Shigeru moves Mei so she'd be more comfortable. "Are you awake?" he asks hopefully. [00:44] * Saki blinks a few times. "Er..." [00:44] (*kills Demota*) [00:44] ( What the hell are you talking about? ) [00:44] Unnnnnngh. [00:44] * Mei-Yin opens her eyes a crack and closes them TIGHT. [00:44] She...she can rest in peace now. [00:44] Somebody turn off the sun. [00:45] ( *stomps on Demo after he's dead* ^_^ ) [00:45] * Shigeru blinks, then starts laughing. [00:45] I'm afraid that is scheduled for next week Mei-Yin. [00:45] * Chelsea smirks. "Welcome back, Mei." [00:45] ( Gwah ) [00:45] [Oh, the fire's gone] [00:45] * Sai releases Saki, looking slightly embarrassed. [00:45] * Eoi grins. "Welcome back." [00:45] Eheh. Sorry. [00:45] [It vanished when Suzaku went away.] [00:45] * Richard chuckles at Sai. [00:45] * Mei-Yin opens her eyes a bit and lets them adjust to the light. [00:46] Feel like crap. What happened? [00:46] That's a very fascinating story, actually. [00:46] * Sai walks over to the rest of the group, grinning hugely, though still slightly teary eyed. [00:46] * Norii holsters, and steps to one side, satisfied. [00:46] * Shigeru smiles at Mei. "What do you remember?" [00:46] What do you remember? [00:46] * Mei-Yin sits up a little. [00:46] * Saki puts her hands in her pockets and smiles. [00:46] Eoi...I'm sorry. [00:47] Um... I remember trying to grab my sword and accidentally going over the edge after it. Boy, that was dumb. [00:47] And that's it? [00:47] Yeah, yeah. [00:47] I'm pretty sure it wasn't your fault. [00:47] * Shigeru winces. [00:47] * Mei-Yin thinks back further. [00:47] * Mei-Yin goes wide eyes. [00:47] ( eyed, dammit. ) [00:48] * Mei-Yin glomps Shigeru around the waist. "I'MSOSORRYIDIDN'TMEANIT!" [00:48] *** Mechalink has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) [00:48] * Shigeru yelps and falls over, since he wasn't expecting that at all, and was kinda weakened anyhow. [00:48] I'm guessing this means the old Mei-Yin is really back. [00:49] * Chelsea frowns, smirks, and shakes her head. [00:49] Wait, Mei! You didn't mean what? [00:49] * Saki stretches a bit. "Guess that's our cue to leave, Rich." [00:49] * Richard grunts an affirmative. [00:49] * Sai waves, still grinning. "Bye, Saki. Thanks for the help." [00:49] I didn't really mean I hated you! Please don't hate me! [00:49] ;_; [00:50] What? I know you didn't mean it. [00:50] *** Mechalink has joined #besm [00:50] * Mei-Yin squeals happily and squeezes tighter. [00:50] * Saki opens the door. "No sweat. Stay in touch, Sai." She heads through, and mutters. "Man... I need a drink." [00:50] *** Saki is now known as Kirby [00:50] Heh. [00:50] Yeah, anyone for some pizza? [00:50] * Richard thuds out, grunting an agreement as to the need of drink. [00:50] *** Richard has quit IRC (Quit: *grunt* ) [00:51] ( This needs to end soon; I have to be up at 5 AM ) [00:51] * Mei-Yin lets go of Shigeru, sitting up. [00:51] Hey... [00:51] Hrm? [00:51] ...where'd my sword go, anyway? [00:51] Don't ask. [00:51] ( This seems like a perfectly fine endpoint. ) [00:51] * Shigeru props himself up by his elbows. "Who cares. It just a sword, after all." He pauses for a moment, then smiles quirkily. "And y'know..." [00:51] It's over there... --> [00:52] [The sword is stuck in the floor, where Saki left it.] [00:52] ( Sure, I guess. I'd love to keep going, tho. ;_; ) [00:52] * Mei-Yin looks around. [00:52] * Mei-Yin pushes herself slowly to her feet and walks toward it. [00:53] * Shigeru hears Mei get to her feet and trails off. He sighs, pushing himself into a sitting position. [00:53] * Eoi grabs the sword before Mei-Yin can get it. [00:53] * Chelsea stands and watches Mei-Yin carefully, frowning. [00:53] You don't need this anymore. [00:53] Oh, come on, Eoi, let the girl havew it. [00:53] What's wrong, Eoi? You think I'm gonna go crazy and kill you or somethin'? [00:53] * Mei-Yin smiles. [00:53] * Sai watches Mei-Yin with a concerned expression. [00:53] Hey, I tossed a vial of biohazardous material out a window. Don't think I won't toss a sword off Tokyo Tower. [00:53] It's just a sword. That was the whole point. [00:54] * Eoi grins. "Aww. You wouldn't do that. Then I'd have to stick another Ward on your head." [00:54] ...and when they come to arrest you, I'll point them to you. [00:54] * Mei-Yin holds out her hand. [00:54] Lemme see it, Eoi. [00:54] Give it over, Eoi. [00:54] * Eoi shrugs. "Fine." [00:54] * Eoi hands the sword over. [00:54] *** Chamelaeon has quit IRC (Quit: There is a beginning and an end to all things. Everything is transitory, nothing eternal. ) [00:54] * Mei-Yin takes it and looks the blade over carefully. [00:55] *muttered* Idiot. [00:55] Let her... there you go. [00:55] * Shigeru just remains where he is, staring at nothing (probably because he can't see). [00:56] * Mei-Yin takes a few practice swings with it. [00:56] Hmmm... It feels... different somehow. [00:56] Did something happen? [00:56] ( This ends in 3 minutes ) [00:56] Less cursed. More filling. [00:56] It's not possessed by Ambition anymore. [00:57] Huh. [00:57] Wonder why he decided to go for _my_ sword. [00:57] ... [00:57] ... [00:57] * Chelsea goes and sits next to Shig. [00:57] * Shigeru winces. "Hey, Mei." [00:57] * Sai boggles, and nearly falls over. [00:57] Your sword was always cursed. [00:57] It was.. what did Saki say.. a part of Ambition. [00:57] * Mei-Yin walks back over to Shigeru and sits down next to him, sword balanced across her knees. [00:57] What's up, Shigeru? [00:58] The spawn of Ambition. His child, almost. [00:58] That sword almost used you to kill everyone. It's a little disconcerting to hear you talk like that. And... I can't read you anymore, or sense where you are. Why is that? [00:59] * Mei-Yin scrunches her nose up cutely as she thinks back. [00:59] Oh, just before I left, I went back to the bazaar. Made a few deals. I don't know why I wanted to hide from you, though. It seemed like a good idea at the time! ^_^ [00:59] [Session End]
