A conversation between Filibert Wright and Jedda Rain, May 10, 2014(to be Datamined)

[22:52] <@spiritflame> Current Location is: b[BLEEP]ches and hoes [22:52] *** Nimble Sky-Dragoon has joined #suburbansenshi3 [22:52] <@spiritflame> konbanwa nimble sky-dragoon [22:52] * Jedda Rain stands, arms crossed, waiting. [22:53] <Jedda Rain> Finally. [22:53] * Nimble Sky-Dragoon looks at Jedda Rain. [22:53] *** Jedda Rain is More information about her is here. Her image Song is: Fully Alive by Flyleaf. She is Level 1. [22:53] * Nimble Sky-Dragoon bows while hovering. "Greetings, My Lady." [22:54] <Jedda Rain> Welcome to my house :) [22:54] <Jedda Rain> Would you like some tea? [22:54] <Nimble Sky-Dragoon> ♦ I thank you, most kindly! [22:54] * Nimble Sky-Dragoon looks around if there is actually ground to stand upon. [22:55] <Nimble Sky-Dragoon> ♦ I must politely decline, I am not a drinker, I fear. Thank you earnestly for the gesture. [22:55] * Jedda Rain is standing in front of a very large tower. [22:55] * Jedda Rain has plenty of ground. [22:55] <Jedda Rain> I cannot allow you to pass just yet. [22:55] <Jedda Rain> You need a full party. [22:56] <Nimble Sky-Dragoon> I do not wish to pass, necessarily? [22:56] * Nimble Sky-Dragoon is now known as Filibert Wright. [22:56] <Jedda Rain> Well, then. [22:56] * Filibert Wright. approaches, and bows again. "My name is Filibert. Filibert Wright, and I am the Emissary of Enclave. I bid you greetings." [22:56] <Jedda Rain> What can I help you with? [22:56] * Jedda Rain holds out a hand to shake it. [22:57] <Filibert Wright.> I am afraid I have not had the pleasure of an introduction? [22:57] * Filibert Wright. is ever the gentleman, and shakes her hand. [22:57] <Jedda Rain> I'm Jedda Rain. [22:58] <Jedda Rain> I'm sure you've heard of me by now. [22:58] <Filibert Wright> It is a pleasure to meet you, though I truly wish it were under better circumstances, Lady Rain. [22:58] * Jedda Rain shrugs. [22:58] <Filibert Wright> Actually, I know nothing of you, or very very little. [22:58] <Jedda Rain> Hah! [22:58] <Filibert Wright> I am certain, however, that you could tell me better than another could. I'm quite willing to listen to your story. [22:58] <Jedda Rain> She's only gone on about wanting to punch me, then. [22:58] * Jedda Rain wills a chair. This is her dimension after all. [22:58] * Jedda Rain sits. [22:59] * Jedda Rain drinks her tea and offers him a chair as well. [22:59] <Filibert Wright> And here I am unable to pull your chair back for you. Truly a pity, but I thank you. [22:59] * Filibert Wright tips his hat, and sits. [22:59] <Jedda Rain> Dimensions are fun like that. [23:00] <Jedda Rain> I may smoke a cigarette halfway through this. [23:00] <Jedda Rain> A long time ago, ten or so generations, there were two families. [23:00] * Filibert Wright nods, politely, and listens. [23:00] <Jedda Rain> House Aster and House Rain. [23:02] <Jedda Rain> The Asters were a heavily catholic group. The Rains were protestant. [23:03] <spiritflame>Jedda Rain rolls 2d6 [ 3, 2 ] [23:03] * Filibert Wright nods his head politely. [23:03] <spiritflame>Filibert Wright rolls 1d20 [ 20 ] [23:03] <Filibert Wright> Yes. I have recently become familiar with that cultural divide. [23:04] <Filibert Wright> Please, continue. [23:04] <Jedda Rain> There had been clashes, fights, the inquisition, so on so forth. [23:05] <Jedda Rain> The houses didn't like each other. [23:05] <Jedda Rain> One day, a member of the Aster family conducted witchcraft. [23:05] * Filibert Wright sighs, and hangs his head. "The familiar and sad story." [23:05] * Filibert Wright raises one eye. [23:05] <Jedda Rain> Suddenly, they could see everything. [23:06] <Jedda Rain> They foretold things that we could not have known and had the upper hand. [23:06] <Filibert Wright> Did your ancestors begrudge them this knowledge? [23:07] <Jedda Rain> Mmmmhm. [23:07] <Filibert Wright> I'm so sorry. Please continue. [23:07] <Jedda Rain> The family lines tended to end in violence at that point. We swore to end the Aster's witchcraft. [23:08] <Jedda Rain> So the first assassination was committed. [23:08] <Filibert Wright> Because you felt it was a morally repugnant choice, or because of personal vendetta? [23:08] * Jedda Rain sets her tea down. [23:08] <Jedda Rain> I can't answer that, it was long before me. [23:08] <Filibert Wright> Your ancestors, I mean. Of course. [23:08] <Filibert Wright> Certainly. [23:08] * Jedda Rain draws a cigarette. [23:08] <Jedda Rain> Do you mind if I? [23:08] <Jedda Rain> I haven't had a smoke like this in years. [23:09] <Filibert Wright> I am not here to condemn you, especially for personal vices. Help yourself. [23:10] <Filibert Wright> Shall I light it for you? [23:10] <Jedda Rain> If you wouldn't mind [23:11] * Filibert Wright leans in close and does so. [23:11] * Jedda Rain leans in and lights it, drawing in. [23:11] <Jedda Rain> Thank you. [23:11] <Jedda Rain> Really, you're quite polite. [23:11] <Jedda Rain> No threats to punch me. [23:12] <Jedda Rain> No rage. I am a pretty terrible person I will not deny. [23:13] <Jedda Rain> Anyway, where was I. [23:13] <Jedda Rain> Right, the first death. [23:13] <Jedda Rain> The war began and there was bloodshed regularly at first. [23:14] <Jedda Rain> Then after a time a new seer came forward from the Asters. [23:14] <Filibert Wright> May I ask you a question? [23:14] <Filibert Wright> Why do you feel you are a terrible person? [23:14] <Jedda Rain> She declared that her family lay down their blades and the Rains do the same. [23:15] <Jedda Rain> ...Heh. [23:15] <Jedda Rain> I've been told it enough times. [23:15] <Jedda Rain> And what my existence is committed to doing is certainly not good and glorious. [23:16] <Filibert Wright> Nobody gets a choice in the purpose of their existence. [23:16] <Jedda Rain> Predetermination. [23:16] * Jedda Rain takes a draw from her cigarette. [23:17] * Filibert Wright sighest the deepest sigh that he ever has. "Chance and fate could be said to make slaves of us all." [23:18] <Filibert Wright> I came here because I hoped to get to know you, and ask why everything is happening. I do not want anybody else to get hurt. [23:18] * Filibert Wright looks at Jedda Rain. [23:18] *** Jedda Rain is More information about her is here. Her image Song is: Fully Alive by Flyleaf. She is Level 1. [23:19] <Filibert Wright> Can I ask you something, Madame? [23:20] <Filibert Wright> What happened to the person who desired a truce between the two feuding sides? [23:20] <Jedda Rain> Heh. [23:20] <Jedda Rain> You mean my sister. [23:20] * Filibert Wright smiles kindly. "I want to know, no matter who it was." [23:23] <Filibert Wright> You can tell me, I promise. [23:23] <Jedda Rain> Fast forward to....the late 1900s. The 70s were a wild time. I wasn't around for them. [23:24] * Filibert Wright nods, and listens. [23:25] <Jedda Rain> My sister, Claudia Rain, met her husband to be, Keith Aster. [23:25] <Jedda Rain> Times had changed, things had mostly settled. [23:25] <Jedda Rain> Victoria Aster, the latest seer had chosen not to will the sword. She hadn't foretold it. [23:26] <Filibert Wright> "Chosen not to will the sword?" [23:27] <Jedda Rain> The Asters great vision is their death. [23:27] <Jedda Rain> Once that happens, the Rain's purpose is complete. [23:28] <Jedda Rain> Until that cycle is complete and the final Aster dies by the blade, we continue. [23:29] <Jedda Rain> But once the Rain is designated, we defy fate until we carry out our calling. [23:29] <Jedda Rain> My sister married her husband and united the two, with the hopes that perhaps this would all end. [23:29] <Jedda Rain> I loved my sister. [23:30] <Jedda Rain> She showed me kindness where my parents showed me nothing. [23:30] <Filibert Wright> She sounds very noble-hearted to try to end the bloodshed. [23:30] * Jedda Rain extinguishes the cigarette on her arm. [23:30] <Jedda Rain> She was. [23:30] <Jedda Rain> She became pregnant with twins. [23:31] <Jedda Rain> Victoria knew something was coming. She said something at the christmas table that was off. [23:31] <Jedda Rain> She knew my sister would not make it after childbirth. [23:31] * Jedda Rain crumples the cigarette in her hands. [23:32] * Jedda Rain drops the ashes. [23:32] <Jedda Rain> And lo and behold. [23:32] * Filibert Wright gestures to the cigarette. "May I get you another?" [23:33] * Jedda Rain shakes her head. [23:33] <Jedda Rain> This was enough for me. [23:33] <Filibert Wright> As you wish, Madame. [23:34] <Jedda Rain> My sister died in childbirth. I stood at the funeral, watching them lower the casket. I stared into the grave and I felt alone. [23:35] <Jedda Rain> And Victoria Aster in her beautiful red hair and dark dress walked up to me, and didn't tell me that she was sorry for my losses. [23:35] <Filibert Wright> What of her children? [23:35] <Jedda Rain> They survived. [23:35] <Filibert Wright> Your sister's children? [23:35] * Jedda Rain nods. [23:35] * Filibert Wright allows himself a slight smile. [23:35] <Jedda Rain> She told me I would be fated to end her. [23:35] <Filibert Wright> So you are wrathful at Victoria Aster for her slight? [23:35] <Jedda Rain> I made a promise that night that I would not just end her, I would end them. [23:35] * Jedda Rain nods. [23:37] <Filibert Wright> You wish to kill your extended family? This is what you mean to say? [23:37] <Jedda Rain> Mmmhm. [23:37] <Jedda Rain> I was intent on finishing this once and for all [23:37] <Filibert Wright> Might I interject a question? [23:38] <Filibert Wright> Whom did you feel you were making that promise of bloodshed to? [23:38] <Jedda Rain> Clarify? [23:39] <Filibert Wright> You said you made a promise that night that you would not just slay Victoria, but "end them [all.]" [23:40] <Filibert Wright> Whom do you feel you were promising that outcome to? [23:40] <Jedda Rain> It was to myself, I think. [23:41] * Filibert Wright nods. "You think. I Understand. Please go on, if you wish. I promised I would listen to your story, and I mean to keep it." [23:42] <Jedda Rain> It was a long time ago. [23:42] <Jedda Rain> I did tell Victoria that I would end not only her but her children. [23:42] <Jedda Rain> She looked pretty mortified [23:44] <Filibert Wright> Wouldn't anyone feel terrified when their loved one's are threatened? [23:44] <Filibert Wright> Losing those you care about---or even the fear of losing them, can make anyone act irrationally, I might add. [23:44] <Filibert Wright> Is that the end of your story? [23:45] * Jedda Rain shakes her head [23:45] <Filibert Wright> Then by all means. [23:45] * Filibert Wright smiles, and gestures for her to continue. [23:46] <Jedda Rain> Time passed, they moved to Australia. I was intent on following but my family refused so I corrected it. I fulfilled one half of my prophecy after that with Victoria, I was intent on fulfilling my promise [23:48] <Jedda Rain> And as I discovered, there was a new prophecy naming me the next to kill Keeran Aster, my nephew. [23:48] <Jedda Rain> And so. I tried but they tangled themselves with something more powerful. [23:49] <Filibert Wright> And what was this? [23:49] <Jedda Rain> The residents of the Ten'Aino household. [23:49] <Jedda Rain> Michael [BLEEP] and his friends. Elda Aster's boyfriend I believe. [23:51] <Filibert Wright> "Michael?" Do you mean Sunnyside? [23:51] <Jedda Rain> He has fragmented since I last saw him. [23:51] <Jedda Rain> Possibly. [23:52] <Filibert Wright> Fragmented. [23:52] <Filibert Wright> Sounds familiar. [23:52] <Filibert Wright> I Apologize, I did not mean to interrupt. [23:53] <Jedda Rain> Tis fine. [23:53] <Jedda Rain> Where was I....Right. They defeated me, so I brought back others. [23:53] <Jedda Rain> I did kill him finally. And Elda. [23:53] <Jedda Rain> Once the playing field was leveled. [23:53] <Jedda Rain> Finally, I could die. And Shaldra Darkness brought the blow. [23:54] * Filibert Wright looks like he is going to ask something, but is silent, nodding and smiling. [23:57] <Jedda Rain> ...So Someone brought him back to life. [23:57] <Jedda Rain> And in turn, I woke up. [23:58] <Jedda Rain> And I was found. [23:58] <Jedda Rain> And here we are. You have a question. [23:58] <Jedda Rain> Feel free to ask it. [23:59] <Filibert Wright> So you intend to slay them now? Your extended family? [23:59] <Jedda Rain> Mmmhm. [23:59] <Filibert Wright> The kin of the people your sister married and loved, and desired enjoy peace? [23:59] * Jedda Rain pulls out a card. It is the image of Jinan Aster under The Devil. [00:00] <Filibert Wright> ^desired to enjoy peace? [00:00] <Jedda Rain> This is what happens when the Asters continue. [00:00] <Filibert Wright> I don't follow you.... what happens? [00:02] <Jedda Rain> Jinan Aster foresaw her death not at the hands of anyone of my family. [00:02] <Jedda Rain> She chose to defy everyone. [00:03] <Filibert Wright> What was the result of this defiance? [00:04] <Jedda Rain> She will go mad with power and consume herself but take as many with her as she can. [00:04] <Filibert Wright> You believe this with all your heart? [00:04] <Jedda Rain> Right now in this time fragment that is under the cult of NightFall but if that were to change it would be under the resentment of others. [00:04] * Jedda Rain nods. [00:05] <Jedda Rain> I wish to sleep. [00:05] <Jedda Rain> I seek death, now. [00:05] <Filibert Wright> Can I ask you one question, then? [00:05] <Jedda Rain> Yes. [00:05] <Filibert Wright> Do you believe that your sister, who wanted peace, would be proud of you for what you have done? [00:05] <Jedda Rain> Heh. [00:05] <Jedda Rain> You are the second person to ask me that. [00:05] <Filibert Wright> I earnestly wonder it, My Lady. [00:07] <Filibert Wright> Others I know might ask you what you expect to experience after that death, if you spend your life dedicated to blood and vengeance. [00:07] <Filibert Wright> Could you name something that would make you stop doing this? Stop harming people? [00:07] <Jedda Rain> Something that could make me stop doing this. [00:09] * Jedda Rain smiles. [00:09] <Filibert Wright> Well, besides the obvious thing, I mean. [00:09] <Jedda Rain> I'll make a bet with you. [00:09] <Jedda Rain> Surprise me. [00:09] * Filibert Wright looks confused. [00:10] <Jedda Rain> Find a way to take the mad woman and set her right. [00:10] <Jedda Rain> I can't answer that question. [00:10] <Jedda Rain> But maybe you can. [00:10] <Jedda Rain> Maybe you or someone out there can find a way for me to stop this madness. [00:11] <Jedda Rain> Keeran is locked somewhere in this puzzle. [00:11] <Filibert Wright> Well, besides the fact that you could stop anytime, of course. [00:11] <Jedda Rain> Elda's crystal has been repaired and is locked somewhere here. [00:11] <Jedda Rain> Give me a reason to stop it. [00:11] <Jedda Rain> Find me a reason to try to live [00:11] <Filibert Wright> Helping others instead of hurting them tends to do the trick for me. You are not the only one here troubled by your destiny. [00:12] <Filibert Wright> I truly understand your feeling of desperation, but, even though some things cannot be overcome, it is noble and worthwhile to struggle against them nonetheless. [00:13] <Jedda Rain> Perhaps you can convince the party of otherwise [00:13] <Filibert Wright> I do not flatter or praise fate. I find no kindness in its hands, but if you made the promise to kill those individuals yourself, could you not let it go? [00:14] <Filibert Wright> I came here because I saw people dying, and I was willing to accept the risks of whatever might await me here to stop it. [00:14] <Filibert Wright> I am, for the record, pleased that it was you. [00:16] * Jedda Rain nods. [00:16] <Jedda Rain> I don't know if I can let it go after all this effort. [00:16] <Filibert Wright> So you believe that your actions have been ordained? That you are bound to do them because of the oaths you have made? [00:17] <Jedda Rain> They are not dead yet. Well, Elda is technically. [00:18] <Jedda Rain> I feel that I am. I feel that that which has bound me to this will continue until I have fulfilled it. [00:18] * Jedda Rain sighs [00:18] <Jedda Rain> It is a shame that Miss Shaldra Darkness has been lost to obscurity. [00:18] <Jedda Rain> I actually liked her. [00:19] <Filibert Wright> My master once said words almost exactly those words. [00:19] <Filibert Wright> About following things to the end. [00:19] <Filibert Wright> I wish I could persuade you of the emptiness you shall feel in your heart, once the last blood is upon your hands. [00:20] <Jedda Rain> Perhaps you can build a party [00:20] <Jedda Rain> And have them convince me. [00:20] <Filibert Wright> A party? [00:20] <Jedda Rain> Or Paisley can punch me in the c[BLEEP]t <_< [00:20] <Filibert Wright> To stop? Without harming anyone else? [00:21] <Jedda Rain> Find me a reason to live. A reason to....reform. [00:21] <Filibert Wright> I shall gladly accept this arrangement. I was in utter fear you would be compelled to continue. [00:22] <Jedda Rain> Slumber for eight or so years is... [00:22] <Jedda Rain> Calming. [00:22] <Filibert Wright> You refer to death? [00:22] <Jedda Rain> mmmm [00:23] <Jedda Rain> This shall either end in my return to death or in my reform. [00:24] <Jedda Rain> I will give you a few pointers. [00:24] * Jedda Rain points behind her. [00:24] * Filibert Wright smiles. "I believe that helping others, and having them tearfully thank you and mean it, will give you far greater satisfaction than seeing more blood. [00:24] <Jedda Rain> This is the Tower. I gave Paisley The Fool card. To advance through here you will need that card. [00:25] <Jedda Rain> And please, Bring Claudia. [00:25] <Filibert Wright> I shall do this only if you promise to me, with the SAME EARNESTNESS you swore to harm those who have wronged you, that you will not harm or antagonize the people I bring. [00:26] <Jedda Rain> Well. [00:26] <Jedda Rain> Directly, I promise. [00:26] <Jedda Rain> The dungeon will be dangerous. [00:26] <Filibert Wright> Must it be this way? [00:26] * Jedda Rain nods. [00:27] <Filibert Wright> I believe there are those who would welcome you in earnest and open arms if you harmed nobody else. [00:27] * Filibert Wright kneels. "I would only be the first." [00:27] * Jedda Rain rises. [00:28] <Jedda Rain> Thank you for listening. [00:28] <Filibert Wright> I plead with you, my lady, not to invite others to come here bearing swords. [00:28] <Filibert Wright> All beings tend to assume that swords will solve the next problem, after they have solved the first one. [00:28] <Filibert Wright> This is why I was willing to come alone. [00:29] <Filibert Wright> May I ask you to earnestly consider something? Please? [00:29] <Jedda Rain> My god. [00:29] <Jedda Rain> You are the first to understand. [00:30] <Jedda Rain> We seek wit, not force. [00:30] * Filibert Wright looks up, with a noble but sad look upon his face. "Is what you are doing truly bringing you satisfaction?" [00:30] <Jedda Rain> ... [00:30] <Jedda Rain> I'm not certain? [00:30] <Filibert Wright> If it is not, and you are still lonely, I beg you to listen to the people I shall bring. [00:30] <Jedda Rain> Very well. [00:32] <Jedda Rain> Wits and consequence. [00:32] <Filibert Wright> Then, in the recognition of our mutual promise, will you please suspend hostilities until such a group that employs wisdom instead of force can be found? [00:32] <Jedda Rain> That is the theme I have adopted now. [00:32] <Jedda Rain> Very well. [00:32] <Jedda Rain> I will no longer meddle. [00:33] <Jedda Rain> My counterpart is a different story. [00:33] * Filibert Wright is smiling, happily. [00:34] <Filibert Wright> Wit and Wisdom I believe I understand, but what do you mean of consequence? [00:34] <Jedda Rain> Every action has a reaction [00:35] <Jedda Rain> I contemplate whether or not mistakes that are made are simply made with the assumption that they can be undone. [00:35] * Filibert Wright sighs. [00:35] <Jedda Rain> You send out a spell to kill every single spider and every single insect. [00:35] <Jedda Rain> But it is fine, because you can easily fix it. [00:35] <Jedda Rain> Death was never final there. [00:36] <Filibert Wright> My Lady, I have personally learned that much of the suffering that takes place upon the world I have left is because those who allow and perpetuate it have convinced themselves that it is "necessary." [00:36] <Jedda Rain> With any hope this is a teaching moment. [00:36] <Filibert Wright> I do not share that view. I have been told many times that I am a fool for talking, and that I should fight instead. [00:37] <Jedda Rain> You are wise. [00:38] <Filibert Wright> Many has been the time that I have tried to reason with beings that were claimed to be mindless, and begged them to cease fighting, but I had my reasons. [00:38] <Jedda Rain> Had anyone else come in here guns blazing, falcon punches ready, this would not have ended well. [00:38] <Filibert Wright> My lady, the use of Force NEVER ends well. [00:39] <Jedda Rain> Mmmmmm. [00:39] <Filibert Wright> I for one do not believe that the ability to reverse death can also assuage the anger or the slain, or the nightmarish pain of their last moments, or the heartache felt by their loved ones. [00:39] <Filibert Wright> ^anger of the slain. [00:40] <Jedda Rain> Heh. [00:40] <Jedda Rain> May you bring a teaching moment to not only me but to the party you bring as well. [00:41] <Jedda Rain> I will close the rifts with the exception of one. [00:41] <Jedda Rain> But for me to do that I will need to send you away now. [00:41] <Filibert Wright> The task set before me was to become a hero. I shall endeavor to do exactly that. In that sense, I must remind you that many are willing to resort to force after they have become convinced that there is no other option. Can you PLEASE... before you do that... give some form of evidence that there is indeed another option? [00:42] <Filibert Wright> I am familiar with worlds where the creator controls all things. With that power, is there not some gesture you can offer to prove the hope of reason and discourse? [00:42] <Filibert Wright> Even here, where you are at your strongest? [00:42] * Filibert Wright is still kneeling, he has not gotten up. [00:43] <Filibert Wright> I could offer a suggestion, if you are at a loss? [00:44] <Filibert Wright> Whenever you are ready. [00:46] <Jedda Rain> I will do my best. [00:46] <Jedda Rain> What is your suggestion? [00:49] <Filibert Wright> Create an embassy. Right here, right now, and lift no hand in wrath, so that an attack would be an invasion. Staff if with ordinary people, who have no weapons, and cannot fight back. This, I hope, shall give pause to the self-righteous. [00:49] <Filibert Wright> And... should you do this... I will ally myself with you. [00:49] * Jedda Rain smiles [00:49] <Jedda Rain> This is not that simple. [00:50] * Filibert Wright is saddened. [00:50] <Filibert Wright> Can you, then, give or produce ANY token that you are serious about cessation of attack until negotiations commence? [00:51] * Jedda Rain holds up her staff and taps it down. [00:51] * Filibert Wright winces, and hopes. [00:52] <Jedda Rain> The other side is safe for now. [00:52] * Filibert Wright raises one eyebrow, not quite comprehending. [00:52] <Jedda Rain> I will consult with the my dimension. [00:52] <Filibert Wright> The Other Side, my lady? [00:52] <Jedda Rain> The other side of my dimension here. [00:52] <Jedda Rain> Perhaps an embassy may be in order. [00:53] <Jedda Rain> But for now I cannot promise that. [00:53] <Jedda Rain> Now, I may humbly request that you may leave so that I may consult. [00:53] <Filibert Wright> That is not the promise that I care about. I care about the one to yourself, to listen to the advocates of peace, and dwell in contentment in life. [00:54] <Filibert Wright> Certainly, My Lady. [00:54] <Filibert Wright> As the Ambassador of Enclave, such is my duty. [00:54] <Filibert Wright> And.... should you wish to contact me? [00:54] * Filibert Wright hands her a "card."

[23:47] <Abe Hisoka> The Night Falls. Her touch is amazing. [23:48] <@The Intern> Raihosha, perhaps you will have better luck interrogating. [23:48] * @The Intern 's mind is not focused at the moment. [23:48] <Nelius Raoul> (I smell a rat. Those two have had a blood feud going on, and they're working together now?) [23:48] <Raihosha> Just a moment. [23:49] * @The Intern is away: head hurts. [23:49] * mango-san idly has been making mashed potatoes in a slow cooker [23:49] * mango-san finishes them [23:49] <mango-san> Yai since when did you start needing mashed potatoes to be summoned?

[23:50] * Abe Hisoka breaks into a fit of giggles, hands going over her face. [23:50] * Claudia Remieux watches this. [23:51] * Raihosha touches a finger to the circle, infusing it with power and changing it's nature such that it won't blow or be brushed away. [23:51] *** Yaijinden has joined #suburbansenshi2 [23:51] <@spiritflame> konbanwa yaijinden [23:51] <Claudia Remieux> She's made you into a whore.

[23:52] * Yaijinden accepts with both hands and begins forking himself some potatoes [23:52] <Yaijinden> Came as a surprise to me too! [23:52] <Abe Hisoka> It all felt so good. She felt sooooooooo good. She held me. She made me hers. [23:53] * Claudia Remieux stares at her, unamused. [23:53] <Yaijinden> Fleeing in mind-numbing terror for my very existence, then the next thing I know I have a heartbeat once again. [23:53] * mango-san sits back and watches. [23:54] <mango-san> I forgot a long time ago what that feels like. [23:54] <mango-san> Even with a sailor crystal, it's just not the same. [23:54] <Yaijinden> Never could be. [23:54] <Raihosha> It isn't right, if you were forced to that position, Miss Hisoka. [23:54] <Yaijinden> You must be from the same splinter Future Furu is again. [23:55] <Yaijinden> You haven't once asked me for updates on where lesbians might be. [23:55] <mango-san> Not the same Future Furu. [23:55] * mango-san chuckles. [23:55] <mango-san> She's trying to find me right now. [23:55] <Yaijinden> Oh, right, because there are in fact three or four of them at any given point. [23:55] <Abe Hisoka> I. I need to go back I need to feel it more let me out LET ME OUT. [23:55] <Yaijinden> So we've grabbed Abe-san? [23:55] <mango-san> That Future Furu is probably a horror terror. Corect. [23:56] * Abe Hisoka laughs and pulls at her hair, more falling from her braid. [23:56] * Future Furu is away: I'm the most handsome one though. [23:56] * Claudia Remieux watches her. [23:56] <Raihosha> I'm not sure you're in a good condition to travel Miss Hisoka. [23:56] * Furu is meanwhile in some hotel room in europe engaging in intense go fish [23:57] <Nelius Raoul> ...am I not alone in thinking that chick in the circle's completely mindf[BLEEP]ked? [23:57] * Komadori has moved to: [ some strange hotel room ] [23:57] * Komadori [some strange hotel room] stares down Furu [23:57] <Yaijinden> Not in the slightest. [23:57] <Komadori> [some strange hotel room] Do you. Have any fours? [23:57] <Yaijinden> This is the other side of the coin. [23:57] * Furu has moved to: [ some strange hotel room ] [23:57] * Furu [some strange hotel room] narrows his eyes. [23:57] <Raihosha> You don't sound like you're in love, you sound like an addict missing her fix. [23:57] <Furu> [some strange hotel room] Go. Fish. [23:58] <Abe Hisoka> Let me go letmegoletmegoLETMEGO. [23:58] * mango-san watches this [23:58] <Komadori> [some strange hotel room] :O [23:58] * Komadori [some strange hotel room] is taken aback! [23:58] * Komadori [some strange hotel room] falls out of her chair. [23:58] <Furu> [some strange hotel room] BOOM. [23:58] <Furu> [some strange hotel room] OH NO I'VE ALSO FALLEN [23:58] <Yaijinden> I've managed to discern the connection Jedda had through Celeste, but there's a second depth to it to this second party. [23:58] * Furu [some strange hotel room] topples in her general direction [23:59] <Nelius Raoul> Hrm... [23:59] * Furu is away: Heehee [23:59] * Komadori is away: and then things got nasty [23:59] <Raihosha> Care to fill me in Yaijinden? [23:59] <Raihosha> I've been out of the loop the past little while. [00:00] <Yaijinden> So. [00:00] * Bixia Yuanjin watches with Suspicious Hat fully in place [00:00] * Abe Hisoka pounds on the barrier a bit before she breaks into more giggles. [00:00] * Yaijinden finds a sprawl point [00:00] * mango-san gets a suspicious hat™ [00:01] * mango-san sits next to Bixia [00:01] * mango-san watches. [00:01] <Yaijinden> People been goin' crazy lately. Most of them screaming for Nightfall, or Night Falls, or something anogalous. It's a connection that flips on and off. [00:02] * Claudia Remieux frowns. [00:02] <Yaijinden> There's a trigger, usually the word mentioned previously. [00:02] <Claudia Remieux> I can't fix you. [00:02] <Yaijinden> Two sides to it, much like a coin. [00:02] *** Celeste has joined #suburbansenshi2 [00:02] <@spiritflame> konbanwa celeste [00:02] * Celeste creeps in. [00:02] <Yaijinden> One I've found is connected to Jedda, which was active if latent at the time. [00:02] <Yaijinden> The other is connected to our mystery third party. [00:03] * Claudia Remieux sighs and slowly rises. [00:03] <Abe Hisoka> Let me go. Let me go let me go let me go. [00:03] <Claudia Remieux> I need my answers. [00:03] <Claudia Remieux> You will not be able to provide, and you are stuck here. [00:03] * Claudia Remieux is away  [00:03] <Celeste> ... [00:03] <Celeste> What happened to Abe? D: [00:03] * Celeste reaches for Yai's hand. [00:03] <Yaijinden> I suspect, if her condition is any indication... [00:03] * Celeste is all mosey'd up to him [00:03] <Nelius Raoul> Seems this Nightfall got a hold of her. [00:03] * Yaijinden takes it in his, squeezes [00:04] <Celeste> Nightfall.... [00:04] <Yaijinden> That she is currently experiencing the other half of the coin. [00:04] <Celeste> Where do I know that name from! [00:04] <Nelius Raoul> Pretty much turned her into an addict. [00:04] * Abe Hisoka stops and stares at Celeste. Then breaks down giggling again. [00:04] <Yaijinden> Ain't no party like a Slaanesh party, as they say. [00:05] * Celeste looks unnerved by that look. [00:05] <Celeste> Abe... [00:06] <spiritflame>Abe Hisoka rolls 1d100 [ 76 ] [00:06] <Raihosha> Slaanesh? Is he involved? Or is that an allusion? [00:06] <Yaijinden> The latter, thankfully. [00:06] * Abe Hisoka wraps her arms around her self and curls up, grinning, giggling. [00:07] <Yaijinden> I've not sensed anything of the Warp leaking through, thank the powers that be, but this is sufficiently bad. [00:07] <Celeste> .... [00:07] <Yaijinden> What are you working on right now? [00:07] <Celeste> Is there no other way to keep her locked away? [00:07] <Celeste> Abe seems like the type to always eat. [00:07] <Celeste> And I don't think she can get food? [00:08] * Celeste walks over and tries to give her a candy bar. [00:08] * Celeste is being so goddamn wary. [00:08] <spiritflame>Celeste rolls 1d20 [ 14 ] [00:08] * Abe Hisoka shakily reaches out for it until she hits the barrier. [00:08] * Celeste gives her a candy bar [00:09] * Abe Hisoka grabs it and tears into it. [00:09] * Celeste gets the candy bar through the barrier. Whether or not her hand went through as well? [00:09] * Celeste withdraws her hand. [00:09] <Celeste> Yeah I think she's hungry. [00:09] <mango-san> So what's The NightFall planing? [00:10] <Yaijinden> It's an excellent question to start with. [00:12] * Raihosha sends a message to the kitchen. [00:12] <Raihosha> We'll make sure she's fed. [00:12] * Abe Hisoka bites down on the empty wrapper and returns to her mad laughter.

[00:15] <Yaijinden> Focus, Hisoka-san. Food first. [00:15] * Abe Hisoka devours the food, drooling behind her mess of hair. [00:17] <Yaijinden> I bet you've been running a lot lately, haven't you?

[00:27] * Celeste observes. [00:28] <Yaijinden> Is the circle complete that you're working on? [00:28] <Celeste> I don't want to be a part of that. [00:28] * Yaijinden addresses the above to Raihosha [00:28] <Celeste> I don't want to be like that. [00:28] <Aes> That I was named after a physician. [00:28] <Yaijinden> I'll do everything in my power to ensure that doesn't. [00:28] *** LV [lacie@abyss.net] has joined #suburbansenshi2 [00:28] <@spiritflame> konbanwa lv [00:28] * Celeste nods. [00:28] <Raihosha> I empowered it a while ago, Yai. [00:29] <Kanri-chan> what physition has that name?? [00:29] <Raihosha> And Kaelyn's calk circle is still there. [00:29] <Celeste> I trust you [00:29] <Celeste> Why does she want me? [00:29] <Aes> He lived in greece, a long time ago. [00:29] * YumikoTakanashi jumps from the balcony to aes "ÆEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS~~" [00:30] <Nelius Raoul> (Hm, I was wondering where she was at.) [00:30] <Kanri-chan> yumi's back!~ [00:30] * Abe Hisoka claws at the barrier. Stares out of it. Giggles. [00:30] <Yaijinden> Could be any number of reasons. [00:30] <Kanri-chan> yumi who is he? [00:30] <Yaijinden> May be looking for you on your own merits. [00:30] <Raihosha> She should be safe from psychic influences and other dimensional influences, in addition to the other things. [00:31] <Yaijinden> May be trying to use you to get to me. [00:31] * Abe Hisoka rummages around her clothes frantically. [00:32] * LV looks around, having received a text from Mel to meet her here [00:32] * Aes catches Yumiko. [00:32] * YumikoTakanashi over calculates and flies straight over aes and skids on the floor "OW..OW...OW!" [00:32] * Celeste watches her. [00:32] <Celeste> .... [00:32] <Celeste> What is she looking for? [00:32] * Abe Hisoka pulls out a dagger of obsidian. She stares at it for a moment before gripping it tight. [00:32] <Celeste> She's looking for something. [00:33] <Celeste> HISOKA NO [00:33] <Aes> Obsidian? [00:33] * DreamSeer hugs Lacie suddenly~ [00:33] * Yaijinden braces, ready to breach that bubble [00:33] <Yaijinden> Why do you have that in your hand now? [00:33] <LV> O___O [00:34] <LV> hey Mel [00:34] * Abe Hisoka giggles and presses it to her stomach. [00:34] * Aes braces to do the same, his power being that of the circle, he can pass it... [00:34] <YumikoTakanashi> 0.0 [00:34] <Nelius Raoul>  !! [00:34] * Raihosha ^ [00:34] <Yaijinden> You know that's not a toy. [00:34] * Celeste looks mortified. [00:34] <DreamSeer> Let's have a girls night and play blackjack! :D [00:34] * Kanri-chan yelps and hides her face "ewwwwwwwwwwwww" [00:34] <Aes> Are you okay Miss Yumiko? [00:34] <DreamSeer> Yumiko! Come join us! :D [00:35] <DreamSeer> You too, Kanri! [00:35] <DreamSeer> The more the merrier! [00:35] * Abe Hisoka doubles over onto it with an ecstatic squeal. [00:35] <LV> Blackjack? At this hour? [00:35] * DreamSeer nods [00:35] <Celeste> ABE [00:35] <YumikoTakanashi> sure just [00:35] * DreamSeer provides chips with snack names [00:35] <YumikoTakanashi> one moent [00:35] <Celeste> Please don't. [00:35] <Celeste> Please! [00:35] * Raihosha watches for blood. [00:36] <YumikoTakanashi> does she feel any pain? [00:36] * Celeste friggin runs up and friggin bangs on the thing. [00:36] * Abe Hisoka spits up blood with her giggles. [00:36] <Celeste> Stop that! [00:36] <Celeste> Stop it now! [00:36] <Celeste> Why? [00:37] <YumikoTakanashi> cant yuh guys like use an ice spell to bind her? [00:37] <Nelius Raoul> What the hell is she doing? Or is it that piece of s[BLEEP]t Nightfall doing this through her? [00:37] <Yaijinden> Your cue, doctor man. [00:37] <YumikoTakanashi> SHE REGENERATES CHILL OUT!!!! [00:37] <Nelius Raoul> There's some kind of double-sided barrier going on, Yumiko. Only certain people can breach it. [00:37] * YumikoTakanashi huffs and storms off [00:37] <Yaijinden> Unless. [00:37] <Celeste> NO SHE DOESN'T [00:37] <Celeste> SHE'S HUMAN. [00:38] <Raihosha> Unless? [00:38] <Yaijinden> No, go in. [00:38] <DreamSeer> Yumi! [00:38] <Yaijinden> If you're willing to risk it. [00:38] <DreamSeer> Wait! [00:38] <Yaijinden> I break things, they'll go big. [00:38] <DreamSeer> I thought you were going to play blackjack with us! [00:38] <Yaijinden> It's your bubble, but also your chansu chansu. [00:38] <DreamSeer> D: [00:38] * Abe Hisoka finally just drops. [00:38] <YumikoTakanashi> blackjack lets go [00:38] * Raihosha steps through his circle, causing it to collapse. [00:38] * YumikoTakanashi flops down next to them [00:39] * DreamSeer smiles [00:39] * Nelius Raoul remains on guard, in case Abe's acting. [00:39] * Celeste stares. [00:39] <Celeste> She just stabbed herself. [00:39] <DreamSeer> /and leads Yumi and Lacie over to a more quiet area of the lobby [00:39] * Kanri-chan skips over "can kanri play?" [00:39] <Celeste> She actively showed she was going to stab herself. [00:39] * Raihosha pulls out his cane to cut through Kaelyn's circle. [00:39] <DreamSeer> Yes! [00:39] <Yaijinden> And Raihosha's going to mend her. [00:39] * DreamSeer leads everyone over to the quiet area [00:39] * DreamSeer has moved to: [ Card Games ] [00:39] <Yaijinden> She's not cut anything that's going to kill her within five minutes. [00:40] * LV Card Games [00:40] <DreamSeer> (( We can do this in ss3 so as to not get in the way if necessary )) [00:40] <Kanri-chan> (( it was easier to follow )) [00:40] * Kanri-chan has moved to: [ Card Games ] [00:40] * YumikoTakanashi has moved to: [ Card Games ] [00:40] * Raihosha 's cane glows with power as he cuts a door. [00:41] <Celeste> But what about disarming her? [00:41] * Raihosha then crosses the circle and goes to Hisoka. [00:41] <DreamSeer> (( Okay over in ss3 )) [00:41] * Celeste looks to Yai. [00:41] <Celeste> Why do we always have to wait till the absolute last minute? [00:42] * Raihosha rolls Hisoka over to her back. [00:42] * Abe Hisoka rolls limply, grin still plastered over her face. [00:42] <Yaijinden> Because we're not the appointed minders. [00:43] * Raihosha takes the knife out of her hand, as he examines her wound. [00:43] <Yaijinden> It doesn't hurt that there really wasn't anything that she could do to herself that couldn't be handled. [00:43] <Yaijinden> We have a magelord and futuretech. If we could have convinced her before it happened... [00:43] <Yaijinden> That'd have been the more satisfactory solution. [00:43] <Yaijinden> But. [00:44] <Yaijinden> I'm also a little crazy todei. [00:44] * Celeste leans on him. [00:44] <Yaijinden> And yesterday. And last week. [00:44] * Yaijinden wraps an arm around her shoulders [00:44] <Yaijinden> And tomorrow, and probably the week after. [00:44] <Celeste> I can't understand just waiting [00:45] <Celeste> Even so. [00:45] * Celeste looks up at him. [00:45] * Raihosha pulls out the suture glue and a vial of medical nannies as he works to staunch the bleeding. [00:45] <Yaijinden> The art of power is found in not using it. [00:46] * Yaijinden has a certain grim look to him as he watches Raihosha work to stabilize her [00:46] * Celeste holds his hand and gives it a squeeze [00:46] * Yaijinden rests his head on hers [00:47] <Celeste> But still, that kind of pain. [00:47] <Celeste> ...Is she even feeling that kind of pain? [00:48] <Yaijinden> That's an excellent question. [00:48] * Raihosha looks extraordinarily calm and in his element as he pulls various medical items out of pockets, or seemingly mid-air (as the EMH transmats them to him). [00:49] * Raihosha slowly stops the bleeding and repairs the injuries. [00:49] * Abe Hisoka shutters and thrashes, a string of creative curses escaping with her pained screaming. [00:50] <Raihosha> She managed to do a number on herself... [00:50] * Raihosha administers painblockers. [00:50] <Yaijinden> Can you sedate her? [00:50] <Yaijinden> I have my one side of the coin. [00:51] <Yaijinden> I want to come to a more thorough understanding of the other. [00:51] <Raihosha> I can... I'd prefer simple pain management of course. [00:52] <Raihosha> How deeply do you want her sedated? Or do you want the pain simply blocked, as I'm doing? [00:52] <Yaijinden> She does appear to need to move to escape. [00:52] <Yaijinden> Painblockers will do. [00:52] <Yaijinden> Does the EMH have a secure containment room? [00:52] <Nelius Raoul> Well, best of luck in finding your other side of the coin, Yai. [00:52] * Nelius Raoul turns to leave. [00:52] <Yaijinden> Take care, cool guy. [00:53] <Raihosha> We have a security wing... [00:53] <Nelius Raoul> But don't forget about the edge. [00:53] *** Nelius Raoul has left #suburbansenshi2 [00:53] <Raihosha> But... [00:53] <Raihosha> You want a different level of security, don't you? [00:54] <Celeste> Why is he saying to not forget about members of U2? [00:54] * Yaijinden nods, smiling wanly [00:54] <Yaijinden> I don't get the reference either! [00:54] <Abe Hisoka> F[BLEEP]KING F[BLEEP]K FUUUUUUUUUUUUCK S[BLEEP]TF[BLEEP]K I F[BLEEP]KING HATE BEING STABBED [00:54] <Celeste> ... [00:54] <Celeste> .... [00:54] <Celeste> ..... [00:55] <Celeste> Hisoka? [00:55] <Raihosha> Then you shouldn't have stabbed yourself, Hisoka. [00:55] * Abe Hisoka jerks to sit up and HOULS and falls back [00:55] <Abe Hisoka> I f[BLEEP]king WHAT. [00:55] <Yaijinden> Tell me you remember stabbing yourself. [00:55] <Yaijinden> We all saw you do it this time. [00:55] <Abe Hisoka> Why the f[BLEEP]k would I ever stab myself!? [00:56] <Yaijinden> And not even in a sexy way! [00:56] <Abe Hisoka> You of all people know how much that f[BLEEP]king hurts! [00:56] <Yaijinden> Because fingers in your head. [00:56] <Abe Hisoka> Aww man not even in a f[BLEEP]king sexy way? [00:56] <Abe Hisoka> Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuck. [00:56] <Yaijinden> Our newest best friend! Cosmic exile from Long Ago. [00:56] <Raihosha> I'm not going to tell you why you did it, till I get you in a secure room. [00:57] <Abe Hisoka> I am not f[BLEEP]king going to a room. [00:57] <Raihosha> I don't want to hit any triggers. [00:58] <Raihosha> I'd prefer you didn't get stabbed again, that requires a hospital stay. [00:58] <Abe Hisoka> UUgh what the f[BLEEP]k am I even doing here. I was with Furu and Dori then I was in a stupid f[BLEEP]king bubble then I was f[BLEEP]king on the ground. [00:59] <Yaijinden> Like I said, fingers in your brain. [00:59] <Yaijinden> What was she doing when she got here? [01:00] <Raihosha> Helping a certain individual escape after losing her Budokai fight. [01:01] <Yaijinden> Jinan? [01:01] <Raihosha> Yes. I wanted to avoid names, just in case. [01:02] <Yaijinden> Heh. [01:02] <Yaijinden> Abe-san, have you ever handled a knife with an obsidian blade? [01:03] <Celeste> I don't think that's what causes her to trigger. [01:03] <Celeste> Names. [01:03] <Celeste> That would be too obvious. [01:03] <Raihosha> I have the EMH "redecorating" a room for our purposes, Yai. [01:04] * Komadori texts Abe     ◜ Where are you? We had the best game of Go Fish and you were missed.◞ [01:04] <Raihosha> I'll need to empower the sigils and wards once I get up there, of course. And it will have a door. [01:05] <Abe Hisoka> F[BLEEP]king. Io gave it to me. In this crazyhouse I figured I should keep something on me. [01:05] * Abe Hisoka digs for her phone f<b>[BLEEP]</b>k. [01:05] * Abe Hisoka checks her texts. [01:05] <Abe Hisoka> Awwwwww f[BLEEP]k they had fun without me. [01:06] * Komadori texts Abe     ◜Are you coming home soon?◞ [01:06] * Abe Hisoka drags herself to her feet. [01:06] <Abe Hisoka> f[BLEEP]k f[BLEEP]k s[BLEEP]tf[BLEEP]k ow. [01:06] <Abe Hisoka> S[BLEEP]tsticks this run is going to suck. [01:07] <Raihosha> Please stay the night and heal? [01:07] <Yaijinden> Where are you staying? [01:07] <Abe Hisoka> I left because someone threatened me with a gun if I didn't leave for good. [01:07] <Celeste> Is that really smart to go now? [01:07] <Yaijinden> Transportation -could- be arranged. [01:07] * Abe Hisoka gives this dim look. [01:08] <Raihosha> (SHould I insist?) [01:09] <Yaijinden> I won't say I don't have an ulterior motive. [01:09] <Aes> I do have a vehicular remote handy. [01:10] <Abe Hisoka> Furu got us a hotel in Amsterdam. We're travelling Europe until Dori and I can come back and not get a gun pointed at us. [01:10] * Abe Hisoka wipes blood off her hands (and directly onto her skirt) [01:10] <Celeste> ...What about staying on Aescapulus? [01:11] <Aes> I have plenty of room. [01:11] <Raihosha> Guests are always welcome. [01:11] <Yaijinden> And if something wacky happens, as did earlier today, we'd have advance warning before any of you shanked yourselves. [01:12] <Abe Hisoka> You're not going to let me leave until morning are you. [01:12] <Yaijinden> This is what happens when you take a gut wound and people are concerned for your well being. [01:12] <Raihosha> You WERE stabbed. [01:12] <Abe Hisoka> Not used to it. Sorry. [01:13] <Abe Hisoka> Fu and Dori are the closest thing I've got to family. [01:13] <Raihosha> We can arrange for Komadori and even Furu to join you, if you wish? [01:13] * Amaya sneezes somewhere [01:13] * Amaya hopes you include her too! [01:13] * Abe Hisoka totally includes Amaya. [01:14] * Abe Hisoka looks at her phone. [01:14] * Abe Hisoka texts Dori     ◜I'll be back for the morning. Something just came up. Hope you two are having fun <3◞ [01:15] <Abe Hisoka> you've got me till morning. [01:16] * Komadori texts Abe     ◜ Be safe <3◞ [01:16] <Raihosha> All right. Can we go up to the EMH? You need to have blood replaced, you lost quite a bit. [01:16] * Abe Hisoka tucks her phone away safely. [01:17] <Abe Hisoka> Yeah. That. Explains the dizziness. [01:18] <Raihosha> The Prinnies will give you hell over the mess you've made. :) [01:18] <Abe Hisoka> F[BLEEP]k what is my blood type I'm not used to having doctors and s[BLEEP]t dealing with me. [01:18] <Raihosha> DOn't worry, you're on file. [01:19] <Abe Hisoka> No. I can promise I'm not. [01:19] <Abe Hisoka> It's sort of my thing. [01:19] <Raihosha> As of about 15 minutes ago, yes, you are. [01:20] <Abe Hisoka> Well then f[BLEEP]k. [01:20] <Yaijinden> What with the whole bleeding over everything thing.  :D [01:20] <Celeste> Is that bad? [01:20] <Raihosha> I had to put a bunch of diagnostics in to keep you alive. [01:20] <Celeste> You make it sound like that's bad. [01:21] <Raihosha> They'll disappear in a day or so. [01:21] <Abe Hisoka> I shouldn't have records. Makes my job hard. I'm not supposed to be more than stories. [01:21] <Abe Hisoka> I guess that's not bad then. [01:21] <Abe Hisoka> I'm already having to deal with these reports about me sleeping with the wife of the mayor of New York. [01:21] <Raihosha> I'll tell Aes to forget about them unless you visit again, if you want? [01:21] <Abe Hisoka> holy f[BLEEP]k that's a s[BLEEP]tstorm. [01:22] <Yaijinden> Pfft. [01:22] <Yaijinden> We're settled for tonight then. [01:22] <Abe Hisoka> Yeah. I need food. And apparently blood. [01:22] <Raihosha> He's trusted by Time Lords for that sort of thing, though what they've told him, even I have no idea. [01:23] <Abe Hisoka> Just forget them flat out. [01:23] <Yaijinden> You ready to go home for the night, m'darling? [01:23] <Celeste> Mmmhm [01:24] <Raihosha> Well, we'll have the kitchen send up a tray as we're topping you off. [01:24] * Abe Hisoka slides her boot under the obsidian knife and kicks it into the air to catch it. [01:24] <Yaijinden> Right. [01:24] <Yaijinden> How long have you had that knife, if I may? [01:24] <Abe Hisoka> Uh. [01:24] <Abe Hisoka> F[BLEEP]k, a week or two? [01:24] <Raihosha> All right. Once you leave in the morning, they'll be forgotten. [01:24] * Celeste looks at it. [01:24] <Celeste> .... [01:24] <Yaijinden> Then be extremely f[BLEEP]king mindful of it. [01:24] <Celeste> That's Indigo's magic. [01:24] <Celeste> Io. [01:25] <Yaijinden> ...well. [01:25] <Abe Hisoka> Yeah, that's where I got it. [01:25] * Abe Hisoka tucks it away. [01:25] <Abe Hisoka> She's kind'a awesome. I like her. [01:25] <Abe Hisoka> Helps that I've been in her brain.-- she's been in mine. Whatever the f[BLEEP]k. [01:25] <Celeste> She was also tucked away in a volcano for years and years and years for all you know she could be a little crazy. [01:25] <Celeste> ... [01:25] * Celeste raises an eyebrow. [01:25] * Abe Hisoka goes to grab that food that's been mentioned. [01:26] <Celeste> What? [01:26] <Yaijinden> The plot gets sexy? [01:26] <Celeste> Speaking of sexy. [01:26] <Abe Hisoka> If she offered I'd totally f[BLEEP]k her. [01:26] <Celeste> Now that all conflicts have been resolved for tonight. [01:26] <Celeste> ... [01:27] <Celeste> I don't know if she's into men or women right now. [01:27] <Celeste> Or asexual reproducing by budding. [01:27] <Raihosha> Unfortunately, tomorrow is a new day. [01:27] <Yaijinden> By mitosis! [01:27] <Raihosha> Parthenogenesis. [01:27] <Yaijinden> Divides down the middle and then you have two half-sized surly women. [01:27] <Celeste> At lest her kid isn't an ice queen [01:28] <Celeste> least [01:28] <Celeste> f[BLEEP]k it [01:28] <Abe Hisoka> Her kid's awesome. I like Amaya. [01:28] * Celeste smooches Yai [01:28] <Yaijinden> ♡ [01:28] <Abe Hisoka> You two go f[BLEEP]k already. Jease. [01:28] <Abe Hisoka> I'm going to go not get f[BLEEP]ked tonight. [01:28] <Yaijinden> But we've got more reproduction jokes to make! [01:28] <Yaijinden> Forever! [01:29] <Yaijinden> Between the same butt! [01:29] <Celeste> Can we make them an snuggle? [01:29] <Raihosha> I'll feed you a couple steaks in compensation, Hisoka. [01:29] <Abe Hisoka> Mmmm meat. [01:29] <Celeste> pooping forever. [01:29] <Yaijinden> Let's. Somewhere cozy. [01:29] <Celeste> between eachother [01:29] <Celeste> forever. [01:29] <Raihosha> DO you prefer potatoes or fries? [01:29] <Yaijinden> Pooping forever. [01:29] * Celeste is away: Cozy. [01:29] <Yaijinden> With the same poop. [01:30] * Yaijinden is away: back and forth [01:30] <Abe Hisoka> Okay that's getting weird even for my standards-- twice baked with cheese and bacon. [01:30] * Raihosha leads Hisoka to the elevator. Done. [01:30] * Abe Hisoka goes. [01:31] *** Abe Hisoka has left #suburbansenshi2 [01:31] <Raihosha> We can do that. Cheesecake for dessert? [01:31] * Bixia Yuanjin is away: snzzzzz [01:31] <Abe Hisoka> F[BLEEP]k. yes. [01:31] * Abe Hisoka leaves again.

Questioning: Subject Victoria Aster, May 13, 2014 (to be Datamined)

[23:16] *** Victoria Aster has joined #suburbansenshi2</b> [23:16] <@spiritflame> konbanwa victoria aster [23:17] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Miss Victoria Aster, I presume? [23:17] * Victoria Aster nods [23:17] <Victoria Aster> Is this the living world? [23:17] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> do you understand where you are and what... yes. [23:18] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Sorry to rouse you from your sleep but this is very important. [23:18] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> I would like to ask you some questions. [23:18] * Victoria Aster is a woman in her seventies who looks much younger, long red hair spilling down around her. She has shimmering purple eyes. [23:18] <Victoria Aster> Very well. [23:19] * Victoria Aster curtsies [23:19] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte returns the curtsy perfectly. [23:19] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Thank you. [23:19] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> It's my understanding you believed the Rains and Asters should be at peace with one another. [23:20] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> did you hold this sentiment even up to your death? [23:20] <Victoria Aster> While I knew my death would come at Elizabeth's hands, yes. [23:20] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte exhales a bit. [23:20] <Victoria Aster> I believed that Claudia and Keith's unity would be something that would spring hope over despair. [23:21] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Then may I ask... why didn't you take steps to warn the others over Claudia's impending death? (Assuming Jedda's notion that you foresaw it was correct) [23:21] <Victoria Aster> .... [23:21] <Victoria Aster> Have you ever loved someone? [23:22] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> .... [23:22] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> From afar. [23:22] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> You were trying to spare the family pain? [23:22] <Victoria Aster> If you knew that something was going to happen to that person that you loved, and no matter how you played it out you could never, ever stop it, would you wish to know? [23:22] * Victoria Aster nods. [23:23] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Perhaps not, but surely as a seer you must have seen where the choice of withholding information would lead. [23:23] <Raihosha> Nothing could have saved her? [23:23] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> What did you say at the dinner? [23:23] <Victoria Aster> As an oracle I could see the different directions that my decisions would make. [23:24] <Victoria Aster> I knew that telling Keith what would happen would be more harm than good. </b> [23:24] <Victoria Aster> But my eye intentionally kept me out of the scope of Elizabeth. [23:24] <Victoria Aster> The dinner.... [23:24] <Victoria Aster> Christmas eve... [23:25] * Victoria Aster sighs. [23:25] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Jedda said you said something odd. [23:27] <Victoria Aster> I said that with everything that had happened for years on end, it was nice to know that for even the briefest of moments, we could be at peace. And may long after we are all gone, may we remember this moment. [23:27] <Victoria Aster> For it may be our very last. [23:27] * Victoria Aster brings her hand up to mimic a toast. [23:27] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Oh dear. [23:28] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Why didn't you express your condolences at the funeral? [23:28] <Victoria Aster> ... [23:28] * Victoria Aster sighs. [23:29] <Victoria Aster> I watched the casket be lowered and that little girl standing there. [23:29] <Victoria Aster> I lowered myself about to open my mouth to say I would be there for her. [23:29] <Victoria Aster> And she told me how she resented those children. [23:29] <Victoria Aster> And she looked at me, and said how she resented me. [23:29] <Nelius Raoul> (So we only got one end of the story....) [23:30] <Victoria Aster> And in that moment, the vision came. [23:30] <Victoria Aster> "Then may that be so. My ending is in your hands. I only wish you not resent the innocent." [23:31] <Victoria Aster> I did not see her again until the night I died. [23:31] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Hmm. [23:31] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Let me ask you something, as an Aster. [23:31] <Victoria Aster> I have a question. [23:31] <Victoria Aster> May I ask it? [23:31] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Of course. [23:32] <Victoria Aster> Karma has spoken here and rustled old feathers to try to get a rise. [23:32] <Victoria Aster> The painting fell. [23:32] <Victoria Aster> I may sleep but I am aware of these things. [23:32] <Victoria Aster> Who is it in the cosmos that is pulling those strings? [23:33] * @Valeria Xadium Aino ZWIPS around her [23:33] * @Valeria Xadium Aino reforms. [23:33] <@Valeria Xadium Aino> That was me. [23:33] <Victoria Aster> I was certainly impressed. [23:33] <@Valeria Xadium Aino> I wanted to show that woman the extent of her sin. [23:33] <Victoria Aster> Elizabeth is clever, though. [23:34] <Victoria Aster> Calling her out will not bring her here. [23:34] <@Valeria Xadium Aino> I wasn't trying to call her out. [23:34] <@Valeria Xadium Aino> you misunderstand me. [23:34] * Victoria Aster nods. [23:34] <@Valeria Xadium Aino> She delighted in trying to torment others. [23:34] <Victoria Aster> Then perhaps I need clarifying. [23:34] <@Valeria Xadium Aino> I was repaying the favor. [23:34] <Victoria Aster> Her own medicine? [23:35] <@Valeria Xadium Aino> Indeed so. [23:35] <Victoria Aster> She is...troubled. [23:35] <@The Intern> Valeria... [23:35] * @Valeria Xadium Aino frowns [23:35] <Victoria Aster> The Rain family is very British Victorian. [23:35] <Victoria Aster> Very uptight. [23:35] <@Valeria Xadium Aino> Everyone's troubled. [23:35] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Shut it, blondie. Listen to her. [23:36] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Go on. [23:36] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte is from an old English family herself. [23:36] <Victoria Aster> Where Claudia was very sweet and kind--goodness knows where it came from--the Rain parents were... [23:36] <Victoria Aster> Strict. Quiet. [23:37] <Victoria Aster> Proper. [23:37] <Victoria Aster> Elizabeth gravitated toward her sister, saw her as a motherly figure. [23:37] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte suddenly wonders what she would find if she explored Jedda's mind.... [23:37] <Nelius Raoul> So when Claudia died.... [23:38] <Victoria Aster> I believe that she could not come to grips with the fact that marriage started to tear her away from her sister. [23:38] <Victoria Aster> Then her death just ripped her out. [23:38] <Victoria Aster> There is a lot of deep seeded resentment toward everyone. [23:38] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Elizabeth. "Jedda." [23:38] <Victoria Aster> She did not just kill me that night. [23:38] <Victoria Aster> She killed my son. [23:39] <Victoria Aster> She planned on killing Keeran and Elda but they were safe for now. [23:39] <Victoria Aster> I think it was around when they came here. [23:39] <Victoria Aster> You had another question. [23:39] <Victoria Aster> As an Aster... [23:39] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Yes I... [23:39] <@The Intern> Wait. [23:40] <@The Intern> When did Jedda fall into her coma? After your death? [23:40] <Victoria Aster> Her coma.... [23:40] <Victoria Aster> Context? [23:40] * @The Intern is reading Jedda's file [23:41] <@The Intern> "Claudia died of unknown causes, and Jedda swore revenge on the children and anyone they ever loved. When Jedda was nine, she was found a bleeding mess around a mirror she had broken. She suffered from severe physical trauma, and was in a coma due to extreme blood loss. But something mental had spawned. She was in the hospital for six months, and later spent a year in an asylum. " [23:41] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> (Mental has spawned) [23:41] * Paisley Pythia Peinforte now has TWO questions to pose... [23:42] <Victoria Aster> When she was nine. [23:42] <Victoria Aster> That was long before me. [23:42] <Victoria Aster> .... [23:42] <Victoria Aster> Are you familiar with Nameless/ [23:42] <Nelius Raoul> ...I wonder... hey Intern, you said that the other Jinan-lookalike wasn't a doppelganger, could you elaborate? [23:42] <@The Intern> My research indicates it was some kind of weapon she wielded? [23:43] <Victoria Aster> Yes. [23:43] <@The Intern> She is Jinan from another point in her timestream, most likely the past. [23:43] <Victoria Aster> A tomb that radiates a void. [23:43] * Victoria Aster blinks. [23:43] * Victoria Aster shakes her head. [23:43] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> A what that does w... what does that actually do? [23:43] <Victoria Aster> Jinan is not that far back. [23:44] <Victoria Aster> I think there is someone who uses that weapon now. [23:44] <Victoria Aster> You may wish to ask them. [23:44] <Bixia Yuanjin> ...Celeste. [23:44] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Well, I've got a few more questions if you can. [23:44] <Victoria Aster> Ask away. [23:44] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> One-- and you may not be able to answer this, I realize--- [23:45] <Victoria Aster> Time is limited, the carriage returns to a pumpkin at midnight. [23:45] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> But is it spossible "Jedda" is a separate persona of Elizabeth's? [23:45] <Victoria Aster> I would not be surprised. [23:45] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> And the second-- It is possible that someone has set the Rain and Aster faimily at odds? [23:46] <Victoria Aster> And that.... [23:46] <Victoria Aster> Mew? [23:46] <Mew> Mm? [23:47] <Victoria Aster> There is a tomb locked away. Within it holds the books of prophecies. [23:47] <Victoria Aster> The major oracles. [23:47] <Victoria Aster> See if it's safe for them to cross. [23:47] * Mew leaps off. [23:49] <Paisley Pythia Peinforte> Thank you for the answers.

Topographical Analysis of the Time-Space Gateway to Nightfall's Realm

It is accessed via a "crack" in SpaceTime. One end is in a fixed spatiotemporal position, the other cycles randomly between 10 various locales as follows:

Position 1... Dungeon (torture room?) 

Position 3: Game Room: Fine carpeting fills the gaming room. Pool tables, TVs, various card tables, and a few arcade machines fill the area. 

Position 4: A Bedroom of some kind. (Amaya's)

Position 5: Brothel / Sexorium / Pay TV channel" 

Position 6: A bedroom filled with rows of books. 

Position 7: Mists / Horrorterrors (possibly external?)

Position 8: Lavish Bedroom. Possibly inhabited by shadow-creature. 

Position 9: After a bit of casting you do come upon the throne room. Currently it is lined with tables filled with people, and from where the camera 

sits, at the back of the room, it must be hundreds upon hundreds of people congregated to eat. Many are masked and most are naked.
