[Day: Friday, July 2nd. Time: 1:00 a.m.] [It sure is late.] [You're at the airport! You've been at the airport. For some time. You're waiting for the chopper to come.] [Session Start!] * Reizar waits. And paces, back and forth. Back and forth. Thud thud thud thud. * Lazie checks Chie's watch. How much time do we have? * Choria waits. And waits, and waits. ( I'm not entirely sure @_@ ) * Chisanjya waits, too. Every so often her braid, which is unpinned again, flicks. (We have... about another day.) (Time zones make things messy.) [At any rate, Lazie bites her lip. Ouch.] (Chie does that as a nervous gesture, actually.) * Mamei sits in a nice comfy corner and dozes some. * Lazie mutters. "Still have plenty time... wow." Wow? Wow. We never do thing with plenty time left. Don't jinx it! Shh, Laz. ... point. * Choria eyes Lazie, then shrugs. But still... * Arsenal has joined #besm oi (And the chopper lands on some poor unfortunate Zombie.) [It sure does.] ( Lesson learned: Zombies weak to Helicopter. ) (Too bad we can't carry those into battle.) ( I prolly could! ... in golem form. ) [The chopper is not like the one you rode here on. Mostly because it's not black. It's pink. And has a big "QF" written on the side.] ( Rei wouldn't, tho. ) * Chisanjya eyes the chopper. "Oh, dear gods... I think I know what's coming. Cover your ears, guys." * Mamei blinks and looks up. "Is that a pink helicoptor?" Mmm? * Reizar points. "Pink!" He sounds very proud of himself, for some reason. * Choria covers his ears. Pink helicopter? *blinks* ... what it say on side? It's Francine. That's... not good. She *did* make the potion to save me from the wyvern poison. Who? ...oh, her. Well, it's nice to know she's good for something. At this point, if Dracula want deliver antidote, I give him nice pat on back. ... then stake him. But that besides point. * Choria smiles. "True. But does she have to be so loud about it?" ( "Look! An antidote for vampirism! ... Hey, on second thought, I'll keep it for myself." ) * Shigeru opens the door from the inside and steps out. He looks much like you've seen him in China, plus a fairly annoyed expression. He glances over you all, and the look is replaced with an amused smile. "So you really *were* switched." Aren't helicoptors always loud? * Chisanjya jumps up and waves. "Hi, Mr. Ueda!" I mea- nevermind. * Reizar blinks. "DAD!" Run run stop before he crunches him. "Uh, hi!" Yeah. * Choria looks over at Mr. Ueda and waves. * Chisanjya runs over to Shigeru. "Thank you *so* much for everything! I really, really appreciate it!" Did Eoi-sensei come with you? * Shigeru waves back, then grins at his daughter-turned-golem. "Hi, Rei. Looks like you got yourselves into a mess." * Mamei gets up and walks over to shig. "Yeah, thanks for the help. 'Cause, y'know, we need it? And yeah." * Lazie waves. He even manages to make it non-half-hearted, since Shiggy is coming with the antidote. ( Oh, fun. Shiggy appears, and "Angry" by Matchbox 20 comes on. =P ) (He hateses you, he does.) (Thoughts, everybody. Just give it to me in /msg.) [Some time later, Francine steps off the chopper, wearing a plumed hat and a mink stole. She's fixing her hair in a hand mirror as she decends the stairs from the chopper. Yes, there are stairs. And they even have a red carpet.] * Shigeru shakes his head at Chie. "He wanted to, but we had a mild emergency come up that needed the 'touch of a Naginata', he said. Along with sorry." * Shigeru calmly ignores the red carpet. * Reizar waves, not missing a beat. "Hi Francine!" * Chisanjya laughs. "That's okay, Mr. Ueda. It figures." * Lazie waves at Francine as well. Pays to be polite to the people saving you. * Chisanjya waves at Francine, too. Why not? She's in a good mood for once. * Choria nods. He's taken his hands off his head. * Francine walks over to you with her nose held high and laughs. "Ohohoho! I understand you need my genius yet again!" I just managed to grab a ride because I had the bone in the first place... If could mix antidote, would be very good. World no need more vampyres. * Shigeru eyes Rei, and everyone but Francine and crew can 'hear': ~You'd better appreciate this, young lady.~ * Reizar giggles. * Mamei blinks and nods at Shigeru. ( You're lucky I can't hear that! ) (I *know* you can't hear that. :P) ( Francine is kinda like Alexis. But smart. And useful. ) * Chisanjya looks at Francine. "So, is there anything we can help you with?" Yeah. Only fair. * Choria nods. * Francine laughs again. "No, no. You can just stand back and marvel at my amazing abilities with great admiration, as I no doubt you're eager to show since you're asking for yet another favor from the wonderful woman whom you called names and ruined her $1000 perm with that revolting goat leg." She adds, as an afterthought, "Oh, and squished Marco's bagpipes." * Chisanjya looks at the group. "You guys did what?" Did we do that? * Shigeru shrugs to himself. He glances at the helicopter. [It's there! Roy and Marcus are inside. Marcus is freaking the pilot out by telling stories that don't go anywhere.] We did that? ... oh yeah. Goat leg. *chuckles nervously* Sorry about that. Is actually Transylvanian luck ritual. Guess no translate well to Japan. *rubs neck* Remind me not to visit- aww, we have to go to Transylvania, don't we? * Francine waves an arm. "Oh, it's quite alright. It's not like I'm bitter or anything. You were just jealous because I'm so much better than the rest of you at everything. It's only natural." She sighs wistfully. "But oh, I'm too modest to go into detail." At some point, yeah. * Choria shrugs. Please, don't go into detail. ( I'm the humblest person I know! ) * Eoi hops out the helecopter. "So, I hear someone ELSE finally got turned into a girl and almost turned into a vampire. S'about time." * Shigeru snickers. (* coughs) Yay, Eoi! * Mamei blinks. "What, this isn't new?" Eoi-sensei! * Reizar starts to hug him, but doesn't, because- yeah. He's a big golem! Who talks like Rei. * Chisanjya looks at Shigeru. "Hey, I thought you said he wasn't coming!" * Shigeru blinks. "I did?" I guess I lied. Sorry. Hi Boys and Girl and Goys and Birls and whatever other gender names you're usin'. * Shigeru doesn't look very sorry, actually. ... figures. For some, being bitten by vampyre while stuck in girl body is once-in-lifetime thing. For Transylvanian in Mystery Club... it Friday. * Choria rolls his eyes. * Chisanjya laughs. "That's not nice, Mr. Ueda." She sticks her tongue out at him, then runs up to hug Eoi. * Mamei blinks and scratches her cheek. "Was it Friday?" ( And yes, that was a butchering of the Raul Julia quote. =P ) * Eoi rubs Chisanjya's head. "I sure hope that is you in there, and Lazar isn't getting grabby." It *is* Friday! Nah, it's me. Laz's in my body. Which would be turning into a vampire if we didn't have the stuff to stop it. * Francine is busy talking. You may or may not notice. Which we do. So is good. Watch the hair, Eoi-sensei. It fights back. * Mamei wanders behind Francine and makes faces at her. We're thinking of teaching it kung fu. Maybe Maria can do that. Hey, Maria! Can you teach hair kung fu? Pft. Like your hair can beat my Naginata. * Reizar looks around for Mamei. * Chisanjya waves her braid at Eoi. "Bring it on!" Actually, don't. Asanjya probably wouldn't be that happy if I accidentally got her hair chopped off. Too bad. ^_^ I miss my hair. Eh? Hair-fu? Well, It'd call for some improvisation, but I guess. Take. Please. ... not at moment, though. * Lazie rubs his head. "Would hurt." I miss me. Eoi-sensei, do you know any way of getting our bodies swapped back? Short of finding a magic Kirby doll, 'fraid not kiddo. * Mamei makes some more faces at Francine, then wanders over to Shig and wonders what he's got in his pockets. We have way. Kind of. * Chisanjya sighs. "Well, we have some non-magic Kirbies." Or have person what know way. Who far away. Person with way. Way, way far away. At least that what Hermes say. I suggested twenty-year-old meatbuns, but I don't think they need food poisoning on top of it. And don't even think about it, Maria. It's getting in the way of your pickpocketing. * Choria smirks. Hey, I'm just curious. If you know, can't you just tell me? Non-Magic Kirbies? There is such a thing? I guess? Some of them didn't seem magic. We gave one to Hermes. We have about seventy. * Shigeru looks at Mamei and fixes her with a mildly intense violet gaze. And a couple others are back in Japan. * Reizar walks over to Francine and waves his hand in front of her face. * Mamei blinks at Shigeru. "Oohhhhhh. Nothing fun, then. And, uh, yeah." I wasn't very fun when I was your age. * Shigeru grins. "Even less fun now. Try to keep your habit in check." Shiggy is lying. He was tons of fun. * Francine babbles. Reizar isn't quite sure about what until she says, "So that's why I'm SO much better than you. But I can't be direct about it, because I'm so modest." Yeah, sure he was. Is that sarcasm? Good. Because Eoi's the liar. * Chisanjya just laughs. * Mamei wonders what Francine has in her pockets, now. And how badly she needs it. Francine? Francine! Hello, Earth to Francine! * Francine has no pockets. Oh, don't be silly. The earth can't talk. That's just old superstition. Don't trust him. Shigeru was a party animal. Why, the stories I could tell you.. * Lazie notes the look in Maria/Chomei's eyes, then gently yanks her away. *whisper* "No steal from scary laugh lady until *after* make cure, please?" *grins* * Chisanjya laughs harder. "Sure, Eoi-sensei." Which are all *completely* fabricated, let me assure you. The Earth wants you to make the potion today, Francine! ( What about the time you turned into a penguin? ) * Mamei is sad that Francine has no pockets. Pockets are fun! Everyone should have them! Sure they are Shiggy, Sure they are. ^_^ ( Why, this one time Shiggy and I went to a bar, and... well, he sat in a corner and brooded the whole time... but in a WILD WAY! ) * Mamei is yanked, tho. "Oh, fine. She must keep all her stuff in a vault or something anyway... wonder where it is." I wonder if Rei and I are gonna be like this in twenty years. ( I did not! I brooded in a boring way. Tell the truth!) ( 'Sides, it wasn't technically a corner.) (What was it? A cusp?) I hope not. I want to be in my own body by then! Okay, but you're the one getting the naginata obsession. Awww, man! And here I thought I'd avoided that. Can I at least tell wild stories about you? Hey, you promised you'd take up the art of the Naginata Rei. I'm sad. I think I'll cry, later. There's no escape! It will be your doom. Your DOOM! Yeah, but I don't think I'd go and- no, no, Eoi! Don't do that! Cry now! ... speaking of doom... can please get going with cure? I was wondering that. I thought I was doomed already? For... uh. Rei, what was I already doomed for? * Mamei giggles at Eoi and Rei. Giggle! I think I have a list somewhere. * Reizar looks through his backpack. * Francine laughs obnoxiously. "Certainly, I know you're just dying to get a glimpse of my perfection." No, no. I've already saved my crying for later. I'll save you a tissue. Aww, that's so nice of you! Don't sneeze in it. We're dying, all right. Bah, what is the point then? What are you teaching her Shigeru? ... actually, I undying to see. But close enough. Teaching? I'm teaching somebody now? I thought you were the teacher here. * Francine pulls on a pair of white gloves. "Now, where are the ingredients? I want only the best, mind you." Meanwhile, Roy comes out of the chopper, carrying a bowl full of.... stuff. Marco follows, pushing a porta-table.] Last time I tried to teach her, you threatened to steal Naginata while I was sleeping. * Reizar looks for the nectar of the gods. ( If you lost it, you die. =P ) Hey... if you'd taught Rei, does that mean she and I would have met sooner? [Rei can't find it!] ( ... you die. ) (I think Asanjya had it?) (...) Oh, Rei? Yeah, I was a little worried about my only daughter becoming a naginata-crazed maniac. * Shigeru grins. Shame on you Shiggy. Shame shame. Hey, I turned out okay. Kinda. Well, I don't have a naginata obsession, at least... * Mamei has since taken it from Asanjya, for obvious reasons. Alas, my only regret in your training. * Chisanjya grins. * Eoi leans over and whispers to Chi. "There is always time you know? ^_^" * Reizar looks around. He's becoming a little more frantic now. Sorry, Eoi-sensei, but... no. * Mamei hands Francine the nectar. "Uhm, you don't need all of this, do you?" * Shigeru blinks, and his eyes unfocus for a moment. * Francine removes the cap off the gourd and peeks inside. ".... No, but I'm going to need SOME of it." ... huh? * Reizar points at Chomei-in-Maria. "You didn't accidentally drink the nectar, did you? That'd be kinda bad. As in, really bad. Really really bad!" * Francine tips the gourd upside down. Nothing comes out. What? ... HERMES! *shakes fist at the sky* * Choria raises an eyebrow. "Why the hell would I do that?" What? No. I was wanting to keep some to sell afterwards, of course. * Mamei grins. ( Gimme a mind roll. ) * Eoi stares at Lazie. "Uh..?" 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Lazie (2d6) and gets 3. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chisanjya (2d6) and gets 6. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Choria (2d6) and gets 3. 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Mamei (2d6) and gets 4. [Those who make it realize Asanjei's not there!] ... uh, where Asanjya? 2d6 * Dicesuke throws the bones for Reizar (2d6) and gets 10. Isn't she over there, reading? Where's Asanjya? We shouldn't leave without her. She might get upset. * Reizar blinks. "Asanjya's missing?" Uh, yeah. * Chisanjya points to... "Oh. Guess she's not." Where'd she go? Bet she got kindapped by evil ninjas. Always happens. ... this no time for joking. Nectar gone. That mean no cure. Relax. * Chisanjya pales. "Oh, shit." Well, let's find her then. ...that's bad. * Lazie *eyes* Shigeru. "Easy for you say. You no one with holes in neck." Asanjya's missing! Wait, where could she've gone? Think back, Rei. Thiiiink back. Well, damn. * Shigeru isn't fazed at all by Lazie's gaze. Wonder why. "Yes, I'm sure it is easy for me to say. I've never been in anything remotely resembling a crisis before." ( The mustard! The mustard! Oh, the mustard! ) * Choria walks over to Chisanjya and shakes her shoulder. "You still okay?" * Chisanjya looks down at Chomei. "Maybe? I'm not gonna faint again, if that's what you mean, but we need to find Asanjya and the nectar fast!" Which why should listen to me, then. Silly Reidad. Look at it this way Laz, at least you don't have a crazy girl in your head as well. * Shigeru snorts. ( Sarcasm is lost on people not skilled in the language. =P ) * Chisanjya looks at Eoi. "He has my sword, though." * Choria nods. * Francine shakes her head. (He was reacting to Eoi's comment. ^^) ( I know. I started typing that before Eoi's comment. ) So... when was the last time anyone saw her? * Eoi grins at Chi. "Sword can't control him, can it? ^_^" ( Wanted to clarify, if you mindread. ) No, Eoi-sensei. It's not *that* sword. It's just annoying at times, although right now it's his problem, not mine. * Mamei looks around. If she were an Asanjya, where would she be? ... okay. Rei. Was statue full when Hermes gave? * Reizar tries to remember when he last saw her. "Um. It was pretty full, yeah." ( Hell, maybe? :P ) * Chisanjya walks over to where she thought Asanjya was sitting, to see if there's any sign of where she went or what might have happened to her. ... okay. So Hermes no cheat. *looks up at the sky* Sorry! She a traitor or somethin'? * Mamei looks around. "Do they have basements here?" I don't *think* so. I've got her body. I really don't think she'd do something like that. She's one of those unpaid members. You know how it goes. * Shigeru takes a breath and looks into the distance. ... if can remember where last saw, I maybe able to track. Maybe. Bah. We were all unpaid members in the original. Bitch never got around to paying us. She don't have a phone or anythin', I assume? * Choria holds his head. "This is just great..." * Chisanjya pulls Asanjya's phone out of a pocket of her cloak. "This would be her phone." * Mamei sighs. "Yeah. We need more problems." Didn't you carry around a phone, Chie? Yeah. It's in my bag. And... Oh, right, she's in Rei's body. Rei, you had a phone, right? * Reizar nods. "Yeah, only I have it." He waves it. ... oy. Yeah. We should've coordinated that better. * Eoi laughs. "This sounds familar." ... Right. ... okay. So Asanjya gone. Nectar gone. No know where either are. No laugh, Chiesensei. This is just great. * Chisanjya continues looking for clues! Or something. * Shigeru 's eyes flicker dark for the briefest moment, and he looks mildly puzzled. Nobody remember when last saw Asanjya? * Mamei does likewise. And once again wishes she had her own body, 'cause then she could check the airport's roof real easy-like. * Shigeru glances over the group. ... something wrong, Reidad? I'm trying to find your friend. ... by look on face, I say is no going well. Right? Something's very, very wrong. You'll see in a moment. * Chelsea walks up into view, smiling warmly at Shigeru. And, to a lesser extent, Eoi. * Chelsea walks over to Shigeru and embraces him. "Shigeru, long time no see." * Reizar blinks. "Wrong?" Crap, his dad just said something's wrong. "Is Asanjya ok- hi Aunt Chelsea!" (Wait, wait, which MC are we in here? ;p) * Chisanjya blinks at Chelsea, then boggles. (Kate: yes. :P) Isn't that...? * Choria glances over, then does a double-take. "Chelsea?" * Shigeru blinks, then hugs her back. "Hey, Chel." He sounds less than overjoyed to see her. "Looks like the gang's getting back together." ... what she doing here? * Chelsea blinks at Rei. "But Lazar, I... oh. You've been switched, haven't you?" Yeah. The whole lot of us. Yeah, it's kinda a big mess. Asanjya disappeared with my body just a little bit ago, and we're wondering what happened to her. Have you seen me? Hey, Chelsea! Been a while. Yep. You wouldn't happen to know a way to get us back, would you? Howzit goin'? Well. I am certain that's just too much fun for words. * Chelsea smiles. "And greetings, Eoi. You're looking well." * Lazie blinks at Chelsea. "What you doing here?" I'd love to say I'm here on vacation, but that is a lie I will not tell. Alas, I am here tracking my daughter Victoria, who has recently acquired Ambition, and not the good kind. No. Fucking. Way. * Mamei shrinks into herself. "Not again." ... Shit. Ambition? Again? Wonderful. ... oh, come *on*! Yes way. And I fear what she may do with it. * Reizar stares at her. "Victoria?" she squeaks. And then she gets angry. "What's it trying to do, ruin my whole god damn family?! Uh, no offense, Aunt Chelsea." ... let me guess. She in area. * Chisanjya sits heavily and buries her face in her hands. * Chelsea sighs. "I may have to kill her. Hopefully, however, it won't be necesary." Just when you think things might be getting better... * Shigeru rubs at his forehead. He seems more resigned than anything. "We won't kill her if at all possible. Contain, maybe. It's a lot of firepower, but... how powerful *is* your daughter, Chelsea?" I hit her with shipping crate. Big one. She laugh. * Mamei stares open-mouthed at Chelsea. * Eoi frowns at Chelsea. "C'mon now. You know we can't let you do that. We'll find some way to save her." * Choria shrugs. "She was able to take us on a while ago and shrug it off." Quite powerful. She's the daughter of a god and a duchess of Hell, how could she come out weak? A god? * Choria raises an eyebrow. * Chelsea shrugs. She take best hits from golem and no any worse for wear. If we can relieve the weapon from her without lethal force, so much the better. But you know as well as I do how much the weapon will resist, Eoi. ... and now she have stupid cursed sword. And, if my luck hold up, Asanjya. And Nectar. * Mamei whimpers. "I hate swords." * Reizar gives Mamei a pained look. * Chisanjya looks miserable. "I can't even try exorcism, because *Lazar's* in my body!" We can't fight. We're all mixed up. And Rei in my body... well. * Choria shrugs. "Sorry, but normal arrows don't cut it." Yeah, sorry, okay? We can't! I can't fight in Chomei's body! It's LAME! ... we need rocket launchers. Many. C'mon Chi. You may be in another body, but ya still got the talent. * Shigeru grimaces. "*Stop* it! I can't get my own thoughts in with all of you wallowing in your self-pity like this. And I know I'm not one to talk, but." He looks at Chelsea. "Do you have a more specific idea as to where she is, or is it just in the area?" I can't, Eoi-sensei! * Chelsea raises an eyebrow. "And who said you would have to fight? I am here to track her down, and if Eoi and Shigeru would be so kind as to aid me, I cannot see how we could fail." Me 'n Shiggy are right there with ya Chel. .. Right Shiggy? Because when it comes to these sorts of things, we always end up getting involved sooner or later. And... nobody deserves to get stuck with Ambition. Nobody. * Shigeru nods. Yeah. * Eoi turns to Chi and grins. "So you say kiddo. I got faith in ya." * Chisanjya looks up at Eoi and tries to smile. "I'm glad somebody does." ... I think you going need give me lesson on how do exorcism, Chie. And fast. * Reizar paces. Thud thud thud. "Not Ambition, not again. Aww..." * Lazie eyes Chelsea. "Because it *always* come down to us fighting." She's in a city, not far from here. She *was* here, some time ago, but has since left. Okay, Laz. But how could she get Asanjya without us notice, *and* get nectar out of jar? Which one? Karditsa. Do you think she has Asanjya? It could be totally unrelated. * Lazie eyes Chie flatly. ...yeah, I know. * Shigeru nods. He walks over to Francine. "Kardista. We need to go there." * Chelsea blinks. "Nectar?" ( This map says Karditsa. ) Nectar. Of gods. For this. *points to holes in his neck* Nectar. Of the gods. To make a cure for my body, 'cause Kaira bit him. Me. * Choria nods. We need that, and soon. Ah. Now that *is* something she would want. Who wouldn't? * Mamei nods. "I hear it's worth a lot." * Francine laughs. "Ohohohohohoooo! It must be rough when you're a commoner, always having to rely on the rich. But fortunately, I'm a very benevolent person, so I shall take you there." And for good reason. * Chelsea eyes Francine. "I do hope that comment was not directed at me." * Eoi eyes Francine. "Anyone ever tell you that you've got one helluva annoying laugh?" * Shigeru doesn't even blink. "You do that." He looks to the others. "Everyone, into the chopper. It'll be a little snug, but no helping that." * Lazie reaches into his bag, takes out a stake, and twirls it in one hands as he gets onto the chopper. * Choria rolls his eyes and gets in. * Reizar stops pacing. "Okay, Dad." He lumbers into the helicopter, which complains just a little when he enters.. ( Ok... Mapquest sucks for finding maps of foreign countries. ) (Heh.) * Chisanjya gets into the chopper. "Okay, Laz, Exorcism 101..." [Actually, it doesn't. It's a luxury chopper that's already holding far too many heavy things to pay Reizar any heed.] * Mamei hops into the helicoptor. Why not? * Shigeru makes sure people are coming, then gets in himself. Yup. * Eoi hops on. * Francine also gets into the helicopter, after giving orders to Marco and Roy, who stay behind. * Lazie spaces out for a moment, eyeing the twirling stake, then looks up at Chie. "Hmm?" * Chelsea sighs and gets in as well. "I would prefer my own transport, but this probably flies faster than I can. If only it weren't painted pink." Could be worse. [The helicopter takes off!] Yeah, it could have a giant naginata on it. ( And now, do you wanna talk and brood, or just call it an end? ) * Eoi eyes Shigeru. "A giant naginata attached to a helicopter. I wonder how much that would cost.." More than you can afford, Eoi. ( $3 ) I'm sure Shigeru won't mind if I sell his house. No, but my wife might. I'm sure Mei-Yin would. * Reizar giggles a little, despite himself. He looks nervous. Ah damn. Perhaps if I converted the Naginata into a house as well.. Okay. Um. How's the best way to describe this? * Lazie pays attention to Chie, but keeps on twirling the stake. It's like you're telling the spirit, or whatever it is you're trying to exorcise, that it doesn't belong here. You have to force it back to wherever it's supposed to go. Take it up with her. I'm sure Mei would *love* living in a giant naginata. You never know.. * Shigeru eyes Eoi. .. Okay, sometimes you do. * Chelsea starts to make a joke, then doesn't. * Chelsea listens to Chie's conversation instead. * Francine walks towards the back of the helicopter. "Well, I suppose if we'll be rushing into combat, I shall take a shower and have a fresh change of clothes." So saying, she disappears into a room back there. So you gather up your willpower, and you... manifest it. There are words and stuff to help you concentrate, but when you get down to it, it's your will versus theirs. * Mamei pokes Reizar. "Rei?" * Chisanjya smiles ever-so-slightly. "Being really stubborn helps." * Reizar doesn't feel the poke, but looks at Mamei anyway. "Yeah?" ( Hoo, not a problem with this crew :P ) * Lazie grins slightly. "I very, very stubborn. But no sure about willpower... use silver thingees for exorcise, right?" (It's MC1 + MC2 + one of the most stubborn NPCs. No kidding.) The wards? You don't need to hold them. Half the time I'm just channeling the energy directly. It's like Spirit Stream. ( The other half, they're trying to change your channel to something better :P ) This would be so much easier if I could just demonstrate. The wards'll block spirits or hurt supernaturals if you apply them, but you have to activate them first. ... I give try, then. * Mamei looks up at Reizar, and almost-whispers, "Was she serious about killing Victoria? Isn't she her mom?" * Chisanjya whispers the appropriate chants to Lazar. * Shigeru sighs, settling into his seat for the ride. "It never ends." And then he furrows his brow a bit. "Hey, where's the other crewmember? The doppelganger?" * Lazie nods. "And in you body, no sure I want get close to demon girl with stupid cursed sword." * Reizar blinks a couple times, then whispers back, "Yeah." * Lazie mutters. "Couldn't get vampyre strength and healing *before* become vampyre, could I? Noooooo..." And I'll... hide behind everyone else and throw magic, if it comes to that. Yeah. If you could, everyone would want to be one Lazzy. * Lazie looks over at Rei. "If end up in fight, no go near, Rei. Stupid cursed sword can cut through even golem." * Mamei blinks at Reizar. "But... that's... why would she..." * Chisanjya sits back in her seat, closes her eyes, and starts whispering, in the *very*, *very* vain hope that she can manifest her spirit energy. [It don't work.] ... no, Chiesensei. Because after day or two, would still become vampyre. Just, if going curse with bloodlust and undeath, would be nice to give strength and healing bit early. * Chisanjya opens her eyes and slumps. Her braid droops, too. "Most of my life, I hated having my powers. Now I really *need* them." * Reizar looks at Lazie and nods. And then he looks back at Mamei, kind of pained. "I'm no good at explaining this stuff. You'd want to ask Dad, or something, but..." He leans down and whispers: "When Ambition's got you, you're not... you anymore. That's the way it works. So if Aunt Chelsea decides she's dead..." * Choria shrugs, listening to everything. "There's nothing we can really do about it." * Chelsea engages in smalltalk with Shigeru! * Shigeru doesn't get an answer and just hrms to himself. He watches Rei and Maria's whispering until Chelsea goes and distracts him with smallchat. * Eoi walks over and sits nets to Chi. "S'okay kid. You'll be able to do it when it is important. I think you're the one stoppin' yourself." Remember? If ya think ya can't do somethin'.. well, then ya can't. * Mamei frowns. "Then it's okay to hurt someone when they have Ambition? I mean, beyond just self defense?" ( Ask Rei's brother! :P ) * Chisanjya looks over at Eoi. "Yeah. You've told me that a buncha times. Maybe one of these days it'll sink in for good." ( He's not here. :P ) * Lazie contents himself with tossing the stake from hands to hand gently. ( See? I was right all along! ) Probably about the time ya realize Naginatas are good. ^_^ * Reizar shakes his head. Volume level's still low. "I don't think so. They're not them, and if you get the sword away, you *can* help them. It's not their fault. That's the thing." I think Aunt Chelsea's just talking about a last-ditch effort kinda thing. If nothing else works, you know? * Chisanjya laughs. "Yeah, and maybe eventually we'll find out about these mysterious unknown powers I'm supposed to have." But we can do it. All at once. And then you'll turn into a Kirby. Lovely. Oh, Eoi-sensei? You *were* right about one thing... not that we can do anything much at the moment. But... * Chisanjya whispers something to Eoi. * Mamei blinks and puzzles on that for a bit. "But... she didn't sound very bothered about it." Yeah, she's like that. ...families are weird. * Reizar grins a little. "I guess they are. Aunt Chelsea's different, though. She's all demony and stuff. Maybe she's bothered and just doesn't want to admit it or something." * Lazie stops tossing the stake around, pauses for a moment, then pulls a pen and paper out of Chie's bag and starts writing in Hungarian. * Eoi widens his eyes. "Huh. I won't tell a soul, I promise." * Chisanjya grins briefly at Eoi. "S'okay. Most everybody here knows already." She then looks at Lazar. "Whatcha writin', Laz?" * Eoi eyes Shiggy as soon as Chi turns her back. * Lazie looks at Chie, then down at the stake in his lap, then back at Chie, then goes back to writing. * Shigeru glances at Eoi and goes back to talking to Chelsea. ...oh. ( Then what was the point of whispering? ) (Because she felt like it. ;p) * Lazie keeps on writing. Chie can't read it, obviously, since it's in Hungarian. * Chisanjya sighs and closes her eyes again. [Well, this is going nowhere, so...] * Francine comes out of the shower, dressed in battle gear! ... Which is basically one of those 18th century suits and a rapier. [And then, the chopper lands!] [And then, the session ends!]
