[20:44] [Day: Friday. Time: 8:30 p.m.] [20:45] [MC spent the last hour or so exorcising ghosts and killing giant meatloaf. They tracked the final ghost to a basement that looks like a summoning room. Wanting some answers, they dragged the merchant who owns the mansion down here. That's where this opens.] [20:45] [Hopefully it won't take long, because a lotta stuff's goin' down tonight.] [20:45] [Session Start] [20:47] *** GenericGuy is now known as Merchant [20:47] *** HuggableCactus is now known as GhostGirl [20:47] * Eoi is holdin' that merchant boyee. [20:47] ( We'll call them Will and Mary for reference! :P ) [20:47] ( Works for me. ) [20:47] * Norii is just kind of standing around, nonplussed. [20:47] * Sai eyes the merchant. [20:47] (Okay, but if that little girl ghost starts acting like Mary, I'm running for the hills.) [20:48] * Eoi puts the mechant down and covers the door. This boy isn't getting out of here so easy. [20:48] Unhand me this instance! [20:49] ...would you like to explain what exactly is going on here? [20:49] * Merchant stands and dusts himself off. "This is preposterous!" He points to the spirit. "I PAID you to destroy it!" [20:49] Do it this instant! [20:49] Little girl, is this your father? [20:50] * Chelsea glares at the merchant, rolls her shoulders, and brushes her pant legs with her hands. [20:50] (to Merchant) It looks awfully much like you summoned it, though. Why would you do that? [20:50] Yep! That's my daddy! [20:50] Ok pal. Fess up. [20:51] * Sai glares at the man. "You'd better explain just exactly what the hell is going on here." [20:51] I don't know what you're talking about! [20:51] * Eoi peers at the man. [20:51] Destroy the spirit immediately, or I'll hire these newfangled Ghostbusters instead! [20:52] * Eoi peers. [20:52] This is.. curious indeed. [20:52] Mr. Merchant over here thinks he's telling the truth. [20:52] * Mei-Yin quirks an eyebrow. [20:52] Really? [20:52] Hmm. [20:52] Is he skitzo or somethin'? [20:52] * Sai turns to the ghost. "You want to invite some more of your friends here? I bet they'd have fun." [20:52] * Chelsea frowns. [20:52] What the hell is this, DID or something? [20:52] How about this summoning equipment? Is it yours? [20:53] Well, perhaps he's insane. [20:53] * GhostGirl smiles at Sai. "Sure! But I can't do it unless daddy brings them in." [20:53] Or.. someone disguised as her dad? [20:53] What if it is? I PAID for it! [20:53] Just like I PAID YOU to destroy the ghost! [20:54] For crying out loud, don't you think about ANYTHING besides money? Come off it already. [20:54] We're not here for your entertainment pal. [20:54] * Chelsea frowns. [20:54] You are here because I PAID you to do a job! [20:54] Which you are NOT DOING! [20:54] People like you are the reason the economy is so crummy right now! [20:55] * Eoi sighs. [20:55] If everyone just did what they were paid to do, there would be no problems! [20:55] * Eoi pulls out a Spirit Ward and sticks it on the guys head. [20:55] We don't do this only for profit, sir. Now, it seems tahat something odd is happening here, and we'd very much like to understand it. [20:56] * Merchant eyes Eoi. "What do you think you're doing?!" [20:56] Just testing a theory. [20:56] * Merchant pulls it off. [20:56] How DARE you! [20:56] Well. That didn't seem to work. [20:56] * Norii eyes Eoi. "What do you think you're doing?" [20:56] * Chelsea chuckles. [20:56] Get out of my home, you rotten-good-for-nothing solicitor! [20:56] Well. Guess he must be insane then. [20:56] * Eoi rubs his eyes. [20:57] Do you suppose it's a ghost that *thinks* it's his daughter? [20:57] * Sai turns back to the ghost. "If this is your daddy, why does he want us to destroy you?" [20:57] She did seem... awfully vague about her past. [20:57] Hm. Could be. [20:57] He doesn't wanna destroy me! He brought me here to play! [20:58] Really? [20:58] Did you bring it here, sir? [20:58] * Mei-Yin ducks out of the room and goes looking for family pictures. [20:58] I did no such thing, you loafer! [20:59] They both think they're telling the truth. [20:59] * Norii glances at Eoi. [20:59] * Chelsea frowns. "What kind of playing?" [20:59] ... [20:59] * GhostGirl smiles. "Tag!" [20:59] You remember? [21:00] ( I sure didn't! ) [21:00] Mmm. [21:00] Ah. Hm. [21:00] I'm going to venture a theory here. [21:00] Pops over there loses his kid. Tries to bring her back. He manages to do it, but it drives him nuts. [21:01] ...or very clever little ghost happens across man, and decides to have some fun and invents a cute story to keep the local hunters off it's back? [21:02] * Sai shakes his head at Norii. "He said she believes she's telling the truth, remember?" [21:02] *** DemoWC3 is now known as DeMenchi [21:02] * Mei-Yin comes back into the room. [21:02] There are certainly ways to convince oneself of things. [21:02] There are no family pictures around. [21:03] * Eoi sighs and rubs his head. [21:03] We do not have time for this. [21:03] No, we don't. [21:03] Idea. We get rid of Merchant-boy's summoning stuff, send the girl back to the afterlife and leave. [21:04] * GhostGirl pouts. "But then how will I see my daddy?" [21:04] You'll see him in the future. [21:04] How do you know he's your daddy? [21:05] Because! Don't you know what your daddy looks like? [21:05] Everyone in favor of my plan? [21:05] Sure, but you don't remember anything else about your life, not even your mother. [21:06] Nope! [21:06] * Sai looks at the man. "You have any family at all?" [21:07] So why should you remember him? [21:07] ... [21:07] No! I live here along, wasting money on people like you! [21:07] Because he's my daddy! [21:07] Do you suppose he somehow created her? [21:08] Don't know. Getting tired. We've got more important things to do. [21:09] Yes, we do. [21:09] And people like this shouldn't have books of magic anyway, I think. [21:09] Ok, Mechant. You want these ghosts to stay away, right? [21:09] I'll happily take them off his hands. [21:09] Because that's what you 'paid' us for? [21:09] Mmm. [21:10] I really don't think we should rush this...I don't want anyone else's life to be messed up in all this. [21:10] Considering that Shigeru is being held hostage? We have to rush. [21:11] Yes. I PAID you QUITE SOME TIME AGO to get rid of them. [21:11] Here's my plan. Mechant-boy? We're gonna take this nasty evil ghost-attracting books off your hands. That should solve your problem. [21:11] No! [21:11] Those are MY books! [21:11] I PAID for them! [21:11] You're nothing but thieves! Thieves, I say! [21:11] (Pay us to take your money away! ^^) [21:11] Let me put it this way. You can have the books, AND the ghost, or you can have neither. [21:11] Make a choice. [21:12] I PAID you to get rid of the ghost, NOT my books! [21:12] ... [21:12] They are MY property! I PAID for them, so they're mine! [21:12] Well, I've had quite enough of this. [21:12] We got rid of it. It came back. [21:12] You didn't do your job right! [21:12] HEY, DUMBASS. UNLESS YOU GET RID OF THE BOOKS, THE GHOST WILL COME BACK. [21:12] No matter HOW. MANY. TIMES. we do this. [21:13] Then you're not doing what I paid you for, and I demand my money back! [21:13] You haven't paid us tonight. [21:13] ... Ok. Fine with me. [21:13] And there was no warranty. [21:13] Go talk to our boss Nakamura. [21:13] Yeah. Heh. [21:13] I'm sure you'll get a refund. [21:14] I will! [21:14] Meanwhile, we're going to do our job. Chel, Sai, Norii, Mei-Yin, mind gathering up anything this idiot could be using to summon? [21:14] Sure. [21:14] ...wait, we're going to take the stuff without his permission? [21:14] ... How DARE you! That's the final straw! [21:14] Works for me. [21:15] ...no. [21:15] I won't do it. [21:15] Not a big fan of it, but this guy isn't fit to have it. [21:15] He's just going to keep doing this. [21:15] Sorry, I'm not going to play judge that way. [21:15] That's okay, we don't have to come to help him. [21:15] ... Good point. [21:15] * Mei-Yin turns around and walks out. [21:15] What if he summons something bigger next time? [21:15] Heh. Then that's his problem. [21:15] Nevermind guys. Let's just leave. You want a refund? Go call Nakamura. In fact, tell him Eoi sent you. [21:16] * Eoi walks out too. [21:16] Then (stares pointedly at the guy) maybe it'll eat him. [21:16] * Norii holsters and leaves. [21:16] * Sai sighs. [21:16] Whatever. [21:16] * Chelsea wanders out, cursing at the man in Hungarian as she goes. [21:16] I'll sue you for everything you've got! [21:16] * Sai turns to the ghost. "Bye, kid. Make sure you play with your daddy lots, okay?" [21:16] Feel free, remember, the name is Nakamura. [21:16] Uh huh! [21:17] * Sai waves and walks out. [21:17] (Calling back) Show me the contract! [21:17] [And so they left.] [21:17] [Now we cut to the next day! [21:17] ] [21:17] [Day: Saturday. Time: 6:30 p.m.] [21:17] ...I can't help but think we should have kicked out the ghost. [21:18] [MC is in the clubroom.] [21:18] I feel that way too, but there is nothing we can do about it. [21:18] Any word on Shigeru? [21:18] * Chelsea shrugs as she reclines near the window. [21:18] Sure the guy is an idiot and a jerk, but... that's not exactly a friendly spirit. [21:19] I feel sorry for her, thinking that or truly having that man for a father. [21:19] Let 'Nakamura' deal with it. [21:19] Eh. [21:19] Not like we really got any serious money out of it. [21:19] Sorry, but we tried. Nothing we could do. [21:19] I seem to remember we got $100 that we spent on cucumbers. [21:19] *** Eoi has left #BESM [21:19] ( ... ) [21:20] *** Eoi has joined #BESM [21:20] ( Come back, Eoi! Come back! ) [21:20] * Sai scowls. "I couldn't think of a better person to get eaten by a spectral meatloaf." [21:20] ( ... Wrong button. ) [21:20] [It's dusk outside, by the way.] [21:20] ( oops. ) [21:20] * Mei-Yin shudders. [21:20] * Eoi sighs. [21:20] I kept expecting the Iron Chefs to appear in giant mecha to battle it. [21:20] No sign of Shigeru at all, huh? [21:20] * Chelsea smirks. [21:20] * Mei-Yin scowls. [21:20] ...no. No sign. [21:21] Shit. [21:21] Shit. [21:21] * Chelsea frowns. "Unfortunately, no." [21:21] Did anyone track down Ayane? [21:21] * Sai frowns in thought. [21:22] ...or maybe we should try the Kiby plushie again. *shudder* [21:23] I doubt that. Seiryuu sounded like he was gonna be busy for a while with his sister. [21:23] * Eoi sighs. [21:23] Point. [21:23] I found an address for Ayane. It was false. [21:24] * Chelsea sighs. "Same here." [21:24] All things considered, she's probably dead or captured. [21:24] * Mei-Yin scowls again. [21:24] Or maybe she's thought this through and knows how to hide herself. [21:24] From a group of supernaturals and psychics? [21:24] I doubt it. [21:25] Where was Shigeru staying? With his mother? [21:25] ( That's a good question. ^^; ) [21:25] * Sai shrugs. "If she swiped one of those amulets, she could probably hide from them fairly well." [21:26] Either way, we're not gonna find her faster then EvilCo can. [21:26] * Chelsea frowns. [21:27] I don't suppose you've had any contact from your Godfriend, eh Chel? [21:27] (EvilCo? Are they affiliated with Team Evil China? ^_^ ) [21:27] ( Lei and Mei? Nah. ) [21:28] ( *baps Brett* Watch Shaolin Soccer, you goof. ) [21:28] ( No :P ) [21:28] ( Team Evil is funny. They play DBZ Soccer. ) [21:28] ( ...evil? Rather more Team Ditzy China ) [21:29] No, unfortunately. [21:29] ... Should we go out and see a movie or somethin'? [21:29] No. [21:29] * Mei-Yin breaks out her computer and logs on. [21:30] * Sai snorts. "Oh, good idea. Maybe we can head over to the Rats and watch the plot device TV, too." [21:30] * Eoi grumbles. [21:30] There has to be SOMETHING we can do? [21:30] They could be cutting Shigeru open as we speak. [21:31] * Chelsea scowls. [21:31] God DAMN it. Where the hell is Tre when we need her? [21:31] * Mei-Yin starts looking for Shig's address in the school records. [21:32] 2d6-5 [21:32] * Sai smirks a little. "Maybe she's consulting her lawyer." [21:32] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Mei-Yin (2d6-5) and gets 1. [21:33] [There's a knock on the door.] [21:33] * Eoi answers the door. [21:33] Eoi, Get the door. [21:33] Doin' it. [21:33] Good boy. [21:34] 2d6 [21:34] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Eoi (2d6) and gets 7. [21:34] Damn it, Shigeru, why the hell does your mom use a P.O. box as a permanent address? [21:34] ( -2 to that = 5. ) [21:34] (*snicker*) [21:35] ( Eoi passes his door opening roll? ) [21:35] ( He's got a -2 in the "Door" skill. ) [21:35] And the post office doesn't require an address for someone to rent a POBox. [21:35] [As Eoi opens the door, someone darn near topples onto her. Eoi reacts quick enough to catch her, though.] [21:35] * Eoi catches her. [21:36] * Mei-Yin leans back in her seat and sighs loudly. [21:36] Woah! Easy there. [21:36] * Eoi checks to see who it is. [21:36] * Sai turns towards the door and blinks in surprise. [21:36] * Chelsea frowns and stands up. [21:37] * Mei-Yin hasn't noticed yet. [21:37] * Norii doesn't get up. Yet. [21:37] Who-- [21:38] [A face many of you haven't seen for a long while struggles to look up. She's bleeding from a wound on her left shoulder, a small one beneath her hair, and a much larger one on her torso. There's also blood coming down from the corner of her mouth.] [21:38] *** Merchant is now known as Kaira [21:38] Oh, dear. [21:39] Crap. [21:39] * Kaira looks around, with here eyes. Evidently it's too difficult to actually turn her head. [21:39] ( Ack. The Smorfy, right? ) [21:39] ( Do we have a couch or somethin'? ) [21:39] Damn Kaira. What happened? [21:39] ( Yeah ) [21:39] * Eoi slowly moves Kaira over to the couch. [21:39] * Chelsea frowns. [21:40] Uh...d'you guys know her? [21:40] * Mei-Yin starts up. [21:40] * Eoi gets out his medkit while doing this. [21:40] It's a long.. long story. We'll discuss it later. [21:40] ( Wait, I've never met Kaira, have I? ) [21:40] * Mei-Yin _doesn't_ do that. [21:40] ( Once, briefly. ) [21:40] Who's this? [21:40] ( Nope. Last we saw her was at the Tournament, before we met Mei. I think. ) [21:41] * Eoi begins to bandage Kaira as best he can. [21:41] ( Oh, wait. She's the one who nuked my camera. ) [21:41] * Mei-Yin takes a closer look. [21:41] Hey! She's the one who blew up my camera! [21:41] ( Oh. There is that. ) [21:41] Now is not the time Mei-Yin. [21:41] * Chelsea smirks. [21:41] Damn. I knew I should've learned a healing spell or two. [21:41] * Kaira puts a hand to the wound on her head. Her voice sounds weak, but she manages to crack a smile. "I...Ironic, huh? I need your help..." [21:41] What happened? [21:42] With what? [21:42] Did they attack again? [21:42] 2d6-3 [21:42] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Eoi (2d6-3) and gets 8. [21:42] [The wounds are beyond Eoi's ability to tend.] [21:42] These are bad. [21:43] No. W... went... searching for f-files... [21:43] Files? Where? [21:43] Human places... files on us... [21:43] * Kaira shakes her head. "Not important. Listen..." [21:43] Damn. What happened? A trap? [21:43] * Mei-Yin jumps up. [21:44] * Eoi shuts up and listens. [21:44] Shigeru's there. I know it. [21:44] Stumbled into... wrong place. [21:44] * Sai mutters to himself. "Human...files? Then...oh, that's who she is." [21:45] White haired guy... from before, the ship... sent me her... message. [21:45] ... her message? [21:45] Her who? [21:45] * Chelsea frowns some more. [21:45] * Kaira winces, trying to clarify. "H... Heeere." [21:46] ... [21:46] * Eoi looks grim. [21:46] What as the message? [21:46] ( What was. ) [21:48] * Kaira tries to move, but winces. She looks at Eoi instead. "My shirt... lift it up. D-Do anything funny... and... regret it..." [21:48] * Norii looks to see if there's anything she can do to help. [21:48] * Sai looks slightly sick. "You mean they...carved it..." [21:48] ... My god. [21:48] * Eoi lifts her shirt up a bit. Make VERY SURE not to do anything even close to funny. [21:49] * Kaira is a lot more beautiful than you remember, by the way. It's due to that prize she won at the tournament. [21:49] ... [21:49] * Chelsea scowls again. [21:49] * Eoi looks very grim right about now. [21:51] [Sure 'nuff, carved into Kaira's stomach in kanji: "I've got what I want now, so there's no longer a need for you, but you've been a thorn in my side since we met. So I've decided to kill you myself. Come to the roof of the Asahara building by 8:30, or the S dies."] [21:51] * Mei-Yin gets very, very angry. [21:51] ... [21:52] * Eoi looks about as pissed off as you've seen him. [21:52] * Mei-Yin grabs her bag, leaving her computer behind, cloaks, and disappears. [21:52] [...] [21:52] ...Mei! [21:52] That sick bastard. I'm going to kill him. [21:52] * Chelsea scowls deeper. [21:52] Ok. We need to get Kaira to the hospital. Then we're going to fucking murder that bastard.\ [21:52] No! [21:52] ... No hospital? But.. you'll die. [21:52] N-no human hospital... I... I'll live. [21:52] Mei, get back here! [21:52] ... [21:53] We can't put her in a hospital, Eoi. She's a smorfy. [21:53] Does anyone have Miyu's address? [21:53] * Mei-Yin is already gone. [21:53] ...are you sure, Kaira? [21:53] Is there somewhere you can be treated without exposing you? [21:53] I'm asking, does anyone know Miyu's address? [21:53] C-Can heal quickly. Just... need place to rest. [21:53] She's got healing magic, and she's a smorfy too. [21:54] ( Can I say yes? ) [21:54] ( She would have left it with us... ) [21:54] ( This is true. ) [21:54] ( I'm sure she *really* would have left it with us. **; ) [21:55] ( I guess. Don't expect a guest appearance, though :p ) [21:55] ( Fine. We'll just drop her off. Wanna fastfoward through it? ) [21:56] [So they do, and hurry to the Asahara building. It's dark by the time they get there. The building's got police caution tape on the destroyed front. Due to the "terrorist bombing", as the newspapers had put it.] [21:56] [Time: 8:00] [21:57] * Eoi looks for the stairs. [21:57] ( Gah. Pause a sec. ) [21:57] * Norii is packing. [21:57] ( And how far ahead of them am I? ^_^; ) [21:57] * Eoi has his naginata out, and looks about has pissed off as you've ever seen him. [21:58] * Chelsea has her rapier and casting dagger out, and looks perfectly serene. [21:58] * Eoi looks for the stairs and starts up them. [21:59] ( Unpause ) [21:59] [Eoi finds the stairs! ... Building's awfully big, though.] [22:00] ( You HONESTLY think we're going to trust the elevators? ) [22:00] * Sai looks as angry as he used to always look whenever he wasn't moping. [22:02] Dammit. I hope Mei hasn't gone and done anything stupid. [22:02] [Eoi starts the long, LONG climb up.] [22:02] * Sai follows Eoi to the stairs. [22:02] ( Mei is not all that far, because her body is lower than everyone elses, and because I need to time this. ) [22:02] ( How tall is the building? ) [22:02] ( And I need to deal with all these questions. Gah! ) [22:03] ( I forget if I said how tall it was. If I didn't, assume fifty floors. ) [22:03] ( Jeez. That's not too bad. ) [22:03] (Yes it is.) [22:03] ( That's a long way. ) [22:03] (If you want to make it up there in any reasonable amount of time, it is.) [22:04] ( True. ) [22:04] * Eoi continues to climb and check his watch. If he doesn't get close by 8:25, he'll take the elevator on the closest floor. [22:04] What fun. [22:05] ( And we can make odd comments all the way up. It'll be just like the Shinra building! ^_^ ) [22:05] ( Sure. ) [22:05] ( I need to deal with some stuff anyhow. ) [22:06] ( ...it was supposed to be a joke. ^^; ) [22:06] * Eoi peers at his watch. Ok, he's starting to get tired. Maybe he'll take the elevator at 8:20. [22:07] * Chelsea follows the others up the stairs silently. [22:08] * Sai mutters dark imprecations against Quentin as he trudges up the stairs. [22:09] * Eoi checks his watch again. "... Screw it. Let's take the damn elevator." [22:10] * Eoi gets off at the next floor, and presses the Elevator button. [22:10] * Sai follows Eoi. [22:10] * Chelsea shrugs and follows. [22:10] The elevator arrives with a *ding!* [22:10] * Mei-Yin STARES at the rest of the group. [22:10] * Norii doesn't want to walk up by herself, so... [22:10] ...how the hell did you beat me here? [22:11] We're just that talented. [22:11] * Eoi gets on the damn elevator. [22:11] * Mei-Yin has pushed the button for ten floors from the top of the building. [22:11] * Sai looks at Mei-Yin and shrugs. [22:11] [The elevator goes up one floor. ^_^] [22:12] ... [22:12] * Eoi sighs. [22:12] Back to walking I suppose. [22:12] What have you been doing the last couple of hours? [22:12] * Mei-Yin grumbles, "Waiting for the train." [22:13] * Sai scowls. "That's another one..." [22:13] * Eoi is unable to avoid snickering. [22:13] * Chelsea shakes her head. [22:13] * Mei-Yin stealthgooses Eoi. [22:13] * Eoi gets OFF the elevator, and starts walking again. Oy ve. [22:13] * Chelsea starts up the stairs again. [22:13] * Sai gets back to walking up the stairs. [22:14] * Mei-Yin starts jogging lightly up the stairs, since she's fresh. Ten floors is a lot easier than fifty. ^_^ [22:14] [Instead of just pushing the button for the top floor, MC goes up the stairs.] [22:15] [They get to the top of the building, 8:25] [22:15] ( *facepalms* ) [22:15] * Eoi growls and looks around for a special bishonen to skewer. [22:15] * Norii gets her pistol out early. [22:16] * Sai casts his shielding spell as he walks up the last flight. [22:16] * Chelsea casts her shielding spell, too. [22:17] * Mei-Yin has no shield save for remaining unnoticed, and that will likely be ineffective.

[22:22] Or fast, rather. [22:22] ( fast, not slow, Norii. ) [22:23] * Eoi glares at Quentin. "We've had just about enough of you. This ends here." [22:23] Maybe we should kill you instead. That sounds like fun. [22:23] * Quentin snorts. [22:24] * Quentin shoves the Shig in front of him forwards. "Let's get started." [22:24] ( Init ) [22:24] d6+7 [22:24] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Eoi (d6+7) and gets 10. [22:24] * Chelsea doesn't bother talking. She drops into an en garde stance.

[22:28] [Chelsea's turn] [22:29] ( Eat quotation mark, bishboy! ) [22:29] * Chelsea says "Goodness. That was almost clever." and then dashes towards Quentin, slashing at him with her rapier. [22:30] 2d6-6 [22:30] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chelsea (2d6-6) and gets -3. [22:31] * Quentin just stands, watching Chelsea as she charges.

"Soul Burst!" [22:41] 2d6-2 [22:41] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Sai (2d6-2) and gets 5. [22:43] [Sai's magic slams into the false Shig. He grunts and crosses his arms in front of himself on the impact, which is forceful enough to cause him to skid backwards a bit. But he's still standing, looking singed at best.] [22:43] ...aw, hell. [22:43] [Shigeru's turn] [22:45] * Shigeru closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. ~No necklaces,~ he thinks to the group (except Mei-Yin, who he can't sense). ~And they got what they wanted out of me.~ [22:46] * Norii blinks. "Aw, fuck?" [22:46] Shit. [22:46] [Mei's turn] [22:47] * Sai nods grimly. [22:47] * Mei-Yin runs to the real Shigeru, who she was already running to, and takes up a position between him and anybody who wants to hurt him. [22:47] [Quentin's turn] [22:48] * Quentin smirks.

[22:52] * Quentin kicks off the blade, spinning backwards in mid air, and falls feet first towards Chelsea, who's still on the ground. [22:52] ( She needs a ef roll, too! ) [22:52] ( Boy, your keyboard is just all over the place. ) [22:52] ( Bah. ) [22:53] 2d6 [22:53] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chelsea (2d6) and gets 8.

Now to make my def roll! ^_~ ) [22:54] ( Now a Def roll! ) [22:54] * Quentin lands on Chelsea's back. Luckily for her, her shield absorbs the impact. But he leaps off of her towards Sai, who also needs a def roll. [22:54] 2d6 [22:54] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Sai (2d6) and gets 7. [22:54] (Heck no. ) [22:55] * Quentin does an axe kick in mid air, and hits Sai on the shoulder. It proboly would have hurt a lot and dislocated the thing, but instead his shield protects him.

( And can I do anything else after that? :P ) [22:56] ( Shoulda saved this guy for HKAT :P ) [22:56] ( Nope! ) [22:56] [Eoi's turn] [22:57] * Eoi slashes [22:57] 2d6-6 [22:57] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Eoi (2d6-6) and gets -3.

[23:02] *** Demota is now known as DemoWC3 [23:02] [Quentin doesn't bother to dodge. The blast fizzes out when it hits him.] [23:03] [Shigeru's turn] [23:03] * Sai looks shocked. [23:04] * Shigeru turns his head towards the other Shigeru. ~Let's see if you're really stronger than the original.~ His eyes flicker as he concentrates (mental attack).

[23:14] ( They'll prolly be back for the sequel. ) [23:14] ( I mean, it would have been 2d6-1. But it's all good. ) [23:14] [Norii blocks the downward chop. Quentin actually seems a bit impressed.] [23:15] [Chelsea's turn] [23:17] Eeeek! [23:18] * Chelsea decides to ignore Quentin for now, and to go kill the false Shig instead.

Fall to the ground. ) [23:38] [Eoi falls to the ground!] [23:39] * Quentin lands in a handstand, meanwhile, and pushes off that to land on his feet. He looks around for the nearest target.

[00:09] [Chelsea's turn] [00:09] * Chelsea changes tactics, thrusting her rapier towards UnShig's chest. [00:09] 2d6-6 [00:09] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chelsea (2d6-6) and gets 1. [00:10] [Chelsea finds an opening and impales him. He gurks and, as a final act of defiance, gushes blood on her.] [00:10] [Eoi's turn] [00:10] ( UnShig? Is that like the UnCola? ) [00:11] * Eoi goes for head-shot a Q*bert with the butt of his Naginata [00:11] 2d6-5 [00:11] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Eoi (2d6-5) and gets 0. [00:11] ( Called Shot to the head, btw. ) [00:11] * Chelsea doesn't seem to mind the blood too terribly much. [00:11] ( No. It involves an orange and a roll of duct tape. ) [00:11] * Quentin blocks the naginata and throws a kick. This one connects with Eoi. [00:12] [Next is... Norii!] [00:12] * Norii somehow regains her footing and steadies down for a shot at Quentin's head. [00:12] 2d6-2 [00:12] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Norii (2d6-2) and gets 4. [00:13] *** Demota has joined #BESM [00:13] *** ChanServ sets mode: +o Demota [00:13] [Quentin moves, and Norii hits little more than a long strand of white hair.] [00:13] [Sai's turn] [00:14] * Sai backs away from the fighting, standing warily. (Going on total defense) [00:15] [Shig's turn] [00:15] (There's nothing left to attack, is there? ^_~) [00:15] ( There's Quentin :P ) [00:15] (I mean the S', and that answered my question.) [00:16] ( No, then :P ) [00:16] * Shigeru actually scowls. He concentrates on Quentin, trying to push his way into his mind. [00:16] 2d6-3 [00:16] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Shigeru (2d6-3) and gets 6. [00:16] *** Charles is now known as CharleSleep [00:16] [Mei's turn] [00:18] [Mei is skipped, due to decision] [00:20] * Quentin grins, falling into a low stance. "I've about had enough of this." He looks like he's just about to do something, but then suddenly he falls to the ground, screaming and grabbing his head. [00:20] ( ...Q-mon is weak to Psychic-type Pokemon? ) [00:20] No! Not now! I'm so... close! [00:20] Oooh, screaming is good! [00:20] Alright! [00:20] * Quentin writhes on the ground for a bit, and then stops. [00:21] * Shigeru jerks his head around. ~What the hell?~ [00:21] ... Uh.. that was.. sudden. [00:21] ...that wasn't you, Shiggy? [00:21] * Chelsea walks over to Q. "You do that, Shig?" [00:21] * Eoi pokes Q*bert with the butt of his Naginata. [00:21] * Shigeru shakes his head. ~No.~ [00:21] ~I wish I did.~ [00:21] * Quentin opens his eyes and grabs Eoi's naginata in one swift motion. [00:22] * Mei-Yin apparently isn't noticing anything, she's still standing where she has been for most of the fight, sword half-drawn, shaking badly. [00:22] Gah! [00:22] ...teasing bastard. [00:22] * Eoi tries to pull his Naginata free. [00:22] * Quentin speaks, in English. "What do you think you're doing?!" [00:22] ... Uh, don't speak the language. [00:22] ( Of course, everyone except Eoi understands English, so... :P ) [00:23] * Sai blinks in confusion. [00:23] Doing what? [00:23] What does it LOOK like he's doing? [00:23] Translation please? [00:23] * Quentin looks around. <"What's going on? Where..."> He blinks a bit at the rest of you. [00:24] He's asking someone what they think they're doing. [00:24] [00:24] * Quentin speaks in Japanese. Only unlike before, there's a thick English accent behind it. "You're... Japanese?" [00:24] Uh.. yeah. [00:24] ...what just happened? [00:24] ... Who are you? [00:24] Quentin. Quentin Kusanagi. [00:25] I don't... [00:25] * Shigeru frowns. [00:25] * Quentin shakes his head. "I was getting on a train at Cambridge, then... I can't remember." [00:25] ... Ah. [00:25] * Chelsea raises an eyebrow. [00:25] ... Okay. Uh.. do you know the date? [00:26] * Quentin blinks. "It's... Wednsday?" [00:26] * Norii nudges Shig. "Possession, or multiple personalities? Or is he faking?" [00:26] [A voice near the stairs speaks! "Oh, he's not faking." [00:26] ] [00:27] * Sai turns towards the stairs. [00:27] * Norii blinks at Shiggy. "Are you okay?" [00:27] [Looking over there, you see a somewhat familiar face from the castle in Hell. Except Shig and Chel recognize him pretty quickly as his father and her grandfather, respectively.] [00:27] It's.. not Wednsday. Ok, let's try this. Do you know what year it is? [00:28] *** S is now known as Guy [00:28] Oh, you. [00:28] * Eoi looks over at the guy and grasps his Naginata. "What do you want?" [00:28] * Shigeru scowls again, and anger literally radiates from him. ~No, not really. Hi Dad.~ [00:28] Ah. Hello, Nagy-pa. [00:28] I... I don't. [00:28] * Guy smiles. He looks kinda thin and lanky. [00:29] You see, I've been manipulating everything all along. [00:29] Well, yes. And? [00:29] Oh, of course. [00:29] Gasp. I am shocked. Really. [00:29] * Sai rolls his eyes. [00:30] Hmm. I can see you don't want to talk. [00:30] Let me guess. Evil laugh, explain plans, leave us in a easily escapeable deathtrap? [00:30] * Shigeru doesn't comment. He doesn't even turn to pretend to look at his 'father'. [00:30] (. o O (You get desensitized after the elleventy-billionth time?)) [00:30] It doesn't matter. The work is done, and the package is sent. You can keep that one. [00:30] Oh, pish. Why wouldn't I want to talk to my dear old grandfather? [00:30] * Guy teleports away! [00:30] *** Guy is now known as nottherenow [00:30] * Chelsea frowns. [00:30] ... and with a crypic message, he vanished. How.. boring. [00:31] * Eoi looks back at Q*bert. "As I was saying. Do you know the year?" [00:31] ( The GM doesn't even know the year :P ) [00:31] ( Gimme a sec. ) [00:31] The... package? [00:31] I guess this is where he leads an army of soul destroying S''s to conquer all of hell and then earth. [00:32] Geez, he needs a new plan. That's just boring. [00:32] Christmas isn't for a few months. [00:32] * Shigeru closes his eyes and takes a few deep breaths. [00:32] * Eoi continue to look at Q*bert. [00:33] * Chelsea walks over to Shig, puts her weapons up, and pats him on the shoulder. [00:33] * Sai walks over to Shigeru. [00:33] 2018? [00:33] ( That's not his plan at all! ^_^ ) [00:34] ( .. and what year is it really? ) [00:34] ( I can't remember. ) [00:34] Great to see you alive again, man. No matter what's just happened here. [00:34] (About 2022.) [00:34] .. Well, I hate to break it to you Q-man, but ... uh, it's 2022. [00:34] ( I was gonna say 2020, actually. ) [00:34] ( Quentin gives a date that's 2 years old. Leave it at that. ) [00:35] (Hey, Shig was born in 1992. This means I have to set him back two years. Ah, don't worry about it. ^^) [00:35] (...Shig's a lot older than I thought, then. ^^; ) [00:35] * Shigeru blinks at hearing that date, and anger flares from him again. [00:35] * Quentin blinks. "2022? What... Oh no! The vampire!" [00:35] You've been acting for the last several years as the leader of an organization that is cloning telepaths for the purpose of dominating Japan. Or so it seems. [00:35] Vampire? [00:35] The VAMPIRE? [00:36] I was on my way to... Oh God, it's been two years! What if it's still loose? [00:36] Whoa, hold on. Can you start over? [00:36] Which way's the airport? I have to get back to England! [00:36] ...which vampire would this be? [00:36] Ok. Calm down. Vampire? ... Was it a female? [00:36] No. [00:37] Ok. What happened? [00:37] * Chelsea frowns. [00:37] Just a minor one, but we don't have many operatives for England. [00:37] * Chelsea shrugs. Might as well ask. "We"? [00:37] * Sai walks over and taps Mei-Yin on the shoulder. "Hey. You alright?" [00:37] ... It's classified info. Don't spread it around, okay? [00:38] * Mei-Yin jumps and drops her still half-drawn sword. [00:38] AAAH! [00:38] * Sai jumps back. "Wah! Sorry!" [00:38] Jeez, Mei, what the hell was your problem tonight, anyway? [00:38] Trust me, I doubt anyone would believe us anyway. [00:38] * Shigeru jumps at the noise. "Mei?" he asks in surprise, the first thing he's said aloud this entire time. [00:38] That's true. [00:38] N-NOTHING! [00:39] * Mei-Yin picks up her sword and slams it back into its saya. [00:39] Alright, I work for a secret division of Interpol: the supernatural Investigation Unit. [00:39] ... [00:39] * Chelsea turns and blinks at Mei, then shrugs again. [00:39] * Sai turns back. "Oh, those guys again." [00:39] Interpol has an X-files group? [00:40] You've met them? Good. I need to contact them. Let them know my whereabouts. [00:40] Hell, I'll call Saki right now. [00:40] I believe we can get you in touch with them, yes. [00:40] * Sai pulls out his cel and dials Saki's number. [00:40] * Shigeru reaches a slightly shaky hand out to Mei-Yin. [00:41] Well, we've worked with them a bit. Name's Eoi, I'm part of Mystery Club. You've.. uh... been possessed or something for the past two years. [00:41] You might want to be careful about that - considering who you've been working with/for recently, they might shoot you first and forget to ask questions. [00:41] * Quentin blinks "Saki... Morikawa?" [00:41] Hey Saki, it's Sai. [00:41] * Mei-Yin has gone back to staring off into space. [00:42] * Norii facepalms ...is there anyone who doesn't know about her? [00:42] I think we've got one of your guys here, and he's very confused. [00:42] A Quentin Kusanagi. [00:43] * Shigeru thinks to her, ~Mei? You- you are there, right?~ [00:43] * Sai looks over at Quentin. "Yeah, the one and only." [00:43] * Sai returns to the phone. "Yeah, that's what he said." [00:44] * Mei-Yin jumps about three feet off the ground and her defenses slam down around her mind. [00:44] * Shigeru winces and takes a step back. [00:44] That coincides with what he's telling us. Apparently he's been posessed, or something. [00:45] Sure. [00:45] * Sai walks over to Quentin. "She wants to talk to you." [00:45] * Quentin nods and takes the phone. "Hello? Officer Morikawa?" [00:46] "Yes. It's me. I don't know. I'm on top of a building with these... Yeah, Mystery Club." [00:46] * Mei-Yin gives Shigeru a look of combined sadness and embarrassment. [00:47] * Sai chuckles a little. "'Officer' Morikawa. Just sounds so weird to me." [00:47] * Shigeru doesn't see it, sadly. He just stands there, looking lost. [00:47] "Listen, I need to know about a vampire... Oh, Officer McNeil from the Scotland Branch handled it? Good." [00:47] "Yes, I would imagine. I need to get in touch with HQ..." [00:48] ( Why am I using quotes? :P ) [00:48] (Because you can.) [00:48] You can? Great! I'll be there... um, as soon as I can find the place. [00:48] Right. Thank you. [00:48] * Quentin hangs up and hands the phone back to Sai. "And thank you, too." [00:49] No problem. [00:49] I need to go. [00:49] * Shigeru jerks his head to one side. "Can you help with something first, Quentin?" [00:49] * Sai pockets the phone. [00:49] * Quentin looks at Shig. "Yes?" [00:49] I want to know if you really were possessed. [00:50] I... don't know. [00:50] I was in Cambridge. Then I was here. [00:50] * Shigeru nods. "Can I see?" [00:50] See? [00:51] It would be unfortunate if the Quentin we're used to suddenly reappeared. Unfortunate for you and us. [00:51] * Shigeru smiles bitterly and thinks to Quentin, ~I'm a telepath. You, or someone who was pretending to be you, helped create me.~ [00:51] * Quentin nods. "Do what you have to do, but be quick. It's imperitive that I return as soon as possible." [00:52] Okay, but you're going to have to trust me. [00:52] Telepath? Officer Salazar of the Spanish branch is... Um, okay. [00:52] * Shigeru concentrates on Quentin. [00:52] * Eoi just watches curiously. [00:53] * Mei-Yin keeps her eyes on Shigeru as he does his thing, but not in a protective way. [00:53] *muttered* An exorcism might not hurt, too. [00:55] * Sai waits and watches. [00:56] ( We almost done? ) [00:56] ( Almost ) [00:58] *** Eoi has quit IRC (Quit: ) [00:59] ( ...wrong button? ) [00:59] ( Or he got bored. ) [00:59] (Dunno. Maybe he got yanked off the puter.) [00:59] ( My games seem to do that a lot. ) [00:59] (Aw, c'mon, Brett. c.c;) [01:00] ( Sure do. :P ) [01:01] ( Ho, hum. ) [01:02] ( I'm assuming something's going on in /msg ) [01:02] *** Eoi has joined #BESM [01:03] ( Curses. ) [01:03] * Shigeru opens his eyes which are back to their usual shade of violet. "He checks out." [01:03] Good. [01:03] Excellent. [01:04] You better watch out for Kaira pal. She'll be out for your spleen. [01:04] * Mei-Yin bows her head. [01:04] Who? [01:04] Don't worry about it. [01:04] Don't worry about it right now. [01:05] All right. [01:05] ( ... ) [01:05] Very Well. [01:05] Now, I need to go. [01:05] Just avoid floating women with furry tails. [01:05] Yeah, one more question before you do. [01:05] Floating... Smorfies? [01:05] * Shigeru smiles slightly. "Are you in any way related to Ibuki Kusanagi?" [01:05] * Mei-Yin walks over to the edge of the building and looks down. [01:06] She's my mother. Why? [01:06] [It's a long way down!] [01:06] I read something about her, that's all. [01:06] Oh. [01:07] Well, if you'll excuse me... [01:07] * Quentin heads for the stairs. [01:07] * Shigeru waves half-heartedly at Quentin, then sighs and collapses. [01:07] Uh. That went.. uh.. [01:07] .. Odd. [01:07] Certainly. [01:07] *** Quentin is now known as Kirby [01:07] * Norii makes obscene gestures at his back. [01:07] Well. That went rather differently than I expected. [01:08] I must say I was looking forward to killing him. [01:08] Killing? I was hoping to knock 'em out and get some info out of him. [01:08] Oh, well. At least there weren't any casualties. [01:08] Give him to Kaira. [01:08] No, that would just be cruel. [01:08] * Sai shrugs. "I almost went for his throat as soon as he went down. That would've been fun when he woke up." [01:09] * Chelsea shrugs. [01:09] Anyway.. howzabout we go home? I'm aching all over. [01:09] ...so what was controlling him? [01:09] Naga-poo I think. [01:09] * Mei-Yin just stands there, at the edge of the building, looking at the long, long drop. [01:09] Sounds good. I'm about ready to collapse from exhaustion here. [01:09] And perhaps more importantly, what broke it? [01:09] * Eoi peers at Mei-Yin. "... Uh.. " [01:10] * Chelsea walks over to where Mei is and looks at the drop, too. [01:10] * Sai looks where Eoi is looking. "Mei-Yin. No." [01:10] * Shigeru jerks his head up. "Mei?" [01:10] C'mon Mei-Yin. We're leaving. [01:10] "No." what, Eoi? [01:11] ( er, make that Sai. ) [01:11] Er...well... [01:11] Look, just come away from there. You've had a rough night, and I don't want you to slip and fall off or something. [01:12] * Mei-Yin laughs happily. [01:12] Eh, whatever. Lets find a working elevator, or something. [01:12] ( SHE had a rough night? c.c ) [01:12] ( She did jack shit. ) [01:12] Mei, what... why are you laughing? [01:13] * Mei-Yin turns around and hops down the short step at the edge of the building. [01:13] ( Uh, I really need to sleep soon. ) [01:13] Shit. [01:13] I'm fine. ^_^ [01:14] * Shigeru smiles a bit. "Great, Mei. That's... great. Can you help me out here?" [01:15] * Mei-Yin walks over and takes Shigeru's hand. [01:15] I'm just peachy. ^_^ [01:15] * Sai sighs with relief. "Sorry, Mei. Just creeps me out seeing people near ledges like that, given how many I've stood on..." [01:15] * Shigeru lets her help him up. "Sure." ~We'll talk about it later, okay?~ he thinks to her. [01:16] * Chelsea looks over the side for a bit longer, then shrugs and heads for the stairs. [01:16] Eh. You've been acting odd all evening, but okay... [01:16] * Mei-Yin laughs happily. "Silly Sai, I'm not going to kill myself. Killing is something you do to _other_ people." ^_^ [01:16] ... [01:16] * Shigeru squeezes Mei's hand. ~Then again, we'll talk about it now.~ [01:16] ...right. Of course. [01:17] Uh... [01:17] Amen. [01:17] Let's.. go down now. [01:18] Sounds good to me. I'm really hungry. ^^; [01:18] ( So we go down already. ) [01:18] ( end session? ) [01:19] (Yeah, I need to get sleep, too. ^^;) [01:19] [Session End]
