[22:55] [Day: Tuesday. Time: 3:00, before you were called to Heaven] [22:55] ( Remember folks. Knock-knock-KNOCK on the doors. ) [22:56] ( baka. ) [22:56] [You are all (except for those who aren't) in what looks like a waiting room, only everything is made out of white puffy clouds.] [22:56] ( Atom: Boot to the head. ) [22:56] [The door cannot be opened.] [22:56] [Session Start] [22:56] ... [22:56] * Chelsea looks around. "Well." [22:56] [Everyone is oddly healed. [22:56] ] [22:56] ( How convenient! ) [22:57] * Shigeru attempts to smooth his hair and reaches for his laptop... then thinks better of it and just folds his hands with a sigh. [22:57] ... [22:57] * Hikaru looks at all the clouds. "I didn't expect it to be quite so...stereotypical." [22:57] So, this is heaven. [22:57] It's so...white. [22:57] ( I'll get IC, but I doubt you'll be able to use me. Can't stay for long after all ) [22:57] *** Atom is now known as Eoi [22:58] ( Eh, I'm doubting it'll come up, Atom. ) [22:58] ( Sorry. ) [22:58] * Shigeru continues studying his hands and says, quietly, "Maybe it's sterotypical because that's what we expect." [22:58] * Chelsea looks. "Well, all the cartoons were right after all. That's a surprise." [22:59] * Calvin shrugs. [22:59] *** Eoi is now known as Atom [22:59] ( Alright then. ) [22:59] ...yeah, maybe they don't want to fry our minds with reality. Or something. [22:59] * Calvin signs, [22:59] [Some hyms start playing from cloud-speakers in the cloud- ceiling] [22:59] ( Wow. Talk about generic. ) [23:00] * Shigeru looks up and smiles bitterly at Hikaru. "Or something." [23:00] *** Wisemon has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving ) [23:00] [But with electric guitars. Go figure.] [23:00] ( We're in Bill & Tedd's Excellent Adventure! ) [23:00] ( Nah. If it was say, Japanese hymns as sung by James Earl Jones, that'd be new. ) [23:00] *** NovaNotHere has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) [23:00] ( NO, YOU ARE NOT! ) [23:00] ( Come on! ) [23:01] ( (Sign: Totally excellent dude!) Party on gnarley God-like dude! ) [23:01] * Calvin waits patiently. [23:02] * Hikaru sighs. [23:02] * Shigeru adjusts his glasses and moves his laptop to his lap, where he drums his fingers. [23:02] [Shigeru types: jgudhalsgrgflgfrriuh] [23:02] ( Could be worse. It could be elevator music. ) [23:02] * Chelsea looks over at Shig and raises an eyebrow. [23:02] ( Or KoF music :P ) [23:03] ( Or the best of australian polka. ) [23:03] * Shigeru shrugs. [23:03] Nervous. Habit. [23:03] * Shigeru deletes what he typed and goes back to drumming his fingers again. [23:03] * Calvin signs, [23:03] [This time Shigeru types: ;sdajr;ohafg;jfg;] [23:03] * Shigeru blinks. [23:03] ( Most people are nervous when being judged by god. Unless you happen to be say.. the pope. ) [23:03] And why shouldn't I be? [23:04] * Calvin signs, [23:04] * Chelsea nods understandingly. [23:04] ( Everyone make a perception check ) [23:04] What's he saying? [23:04] 2d6 [23:04] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Shigeru (2d6) and gets 2, "That's a critical success, don't think this means I like you." [23:04] 2d6 [23:04] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chelsea (2d6) and gets 3. [23:04] ( You are all going to die. ) [23:04] 2d6 [23:04] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Hikaru (2d6) and gets 4. [23:04] That "they" are coming. Even though I don't know who that is. [23:04] ( Woo! Go Shiggy! ) [23:05] (Yay. ^_^;) [23:05] 2d6 [23:05] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Calvin (2d6) and gets 8. [23:05] ( Too bad we never roll like this in combat. :P ) [23:05] ( Yep ) [23:05] ( Roll for me, Brett! ^_^ ) [23:05] ( I did. :P ) [23:05] ( Dicesuke enjoys evil. This is to get your hopes up. ) [23:05] (Of course.) [23:06] [Everyone hears voices outside, sounding like an argument.] [23:06] (Naturally.) [23:06] * Shigeru blinks. [23:06] * Chelsea frowns. "Hm." [23:06] * Hikaru looks up. [23:06] People yelling in heaven? Who would have thought. [23:06] ( You got your chocolate in my peanut butter! You got your peanut butter in my chocolate. Kids, kids. They're two great tastes that go great together. ) [23:06] [The door opens as one mutters, and a woman enters, staring over her shoulder. "Why should I have to..."] [23:07] ... [23:07] *** Kirby is now known as Woman [23:07] Oh look, a person. I wonder if this mean's god's a woman? [23:07] * Shigeru blinks at the woman. [23:07] Which would make sense, really... [23:07] ( God is Omnisexual. God is Omnieverything actually. ) [23:07] * Hikaru looks at the woman. "Uh...hello." [23:07] * Shigeru rolls his eyes, closing his laptop and putting it away. [23:07] ( Hush, Atom. ) [23:08] I mean, what man could ever manage the entire universe, you know? [23:08] * Chelsea considers the newcomer. [23:08] * Woman seems kind of young, younger than any of you. She's particularly attractive, with shoulder-length white hair. She's dressed entirely in black with a deep green mantle, and carrying a Key that's 8 feet tall. [23:08] ( Mr. T could! ) [23:08] ( ....Pluto? ) [23:08] ( Heh. ) [23:09] * Woman sighs. "Alright, you're the sinners Tom brought in?" [23:09] * Calvin stands and bows to the woman. [23:09] (Pluto doesn't have white hair! :P) [23:09] ( If this is Sailor Pluto, you guys are seriously scr.. ) [23:09] ( ... Tom the Angel? ) [23:09] ...Tom? [23:09] ( Why not? ) [23:09] * Chelsea starts to say something, and thinks better of it. [23:09] ...I somehow thought angels would have more...interesting names. [23:09] [It's a friggin' huge key, and looks like it should be too heavy for her.] [23:09] ( Don't they usually have names like.. Gabriel and Michalangelo and Nero Angelo and such. ) [23:09] * Woman shrugs. "Yeah, well." [23:10] You can call him Tomulus if you like. [23:10] Doesn't really matter. The point is an angel brought us here. [23:10] Or Tommykins. That gets on his nerves. [23:10] ( Tomiel. :P ) [23:10] ...Is there a Temus too? [23:10] ( Don't Get On The Angel's nerves. ) [23:10] Yeah. I'm Kaene. I'll be escorting you to Dom. [23:10] *** Woman is now known as Kaene [23:11] ...Dom? You guys have a weird naming scheme. [23:11] ( Oh shit! We're being sentenced to the vibrating sheep of death! ) [23:11] ( ... Dom. ) [23:11] ( Oh dear god no. Not.. Stick-Guy Dom! ) [23:11] * Kaene turns and walks through the door, grumbling to her self. She looks back at MC "Let's go.." [23:11] * Shigeru takes a deep breath and stands, slinging the laptops over his shoulder. [23:11] * Calvin follows in step. [23:11] ( ... That would make sense almost. He doesn't like the angel wings tho'.. ) [23:11] Eh. I don't make them up. [23:12] * Hikaru gets up and follows. [23:12] ( Note that Kaene lacks wings or a halo. ) [23:12] * Vicki shrugs and follows Kaene. [23:12] * Shigeru follows, naturally. [23:12] * Chelsea stands and follows. [23:12] ( That means someone used the Dragonballs to wish her back to life! ) [23:12] (*snerk*) [23:12] [As Vicki exits, a flaming wheel zooms by, narrowly missing her.] [23:13] * Hikaru blinks. [23:14] ( Hmm.. flaming wheel.. ) [23:14] ( Who could that be... ) [23:14] ( This IS In Nomine, isn't it? @_@ ) [23:14] ( Great. We really ARE in In Nomine. ) [23:14] * Kaene kicks Demota, who's soul just happens to be here for her to torture. [23:14] @_@ [23:14] Ow. [23:14] ...Should I even ask why there's a flaming wheel in heaven? [23:14] * Demota picks himself up. [23:14] ( Wow. That's lucky. ) [23:14] * Chelsea frowns. [23:14] .... why am I here, anyway? Ah well. I'm heading back to the below-grounds now. [23:14] ( Lucky! ) [23:14] * Kaene leads the MC down the hall. The building looks like any ordinary office building, with cubicles and typewriters and computers... everything. Except it's all made out of white clouds. [23:15] * Shigeru looks around and fights the urge to sweatdrop. [23:15] * Calvin follows along dutifully. [23:15] ( I figured clouds would make poor computers. ) [23:15] ... [23:15] * Kaene looks back at Vicki. "You get used to it." [23:15] ( They're state of the art ^_^ ) [23:15] ( Damn you heaven! ) [23:15] ( ... Wow. That's just odd to say. ) [23:15] You know, you guys really need a good interior decorator. I know a few on earth that could do wonders with this place... [23:15] * Calvin grins. [23:15] I mean, honestly, the whole white clouds thing is great, but...it's also an awful lot like a nuthouse. [23:16] * Hikaru sweats. [23:16] ( Vicki, don't insult the nice supreme diety's sense of taste. ) [23:16] * Chelsea decides not to comment. [23:16] ( I'm the obnoxious one, it's in my contract. ) [23:17] * Vicki coughs at the silence. "So, uhh..how about those yankees?" ^^;;; [23:17] ( They suck. ) [23:17] ( Shut UP Atom. ) [23:17] * Kaene leads the group to a large room with big double doors. Inside is, unsurprisingly, a courtroom composed entirely of white clouds. In the judges chair is a 10 foot tall figure covered with a reddish-brown robe. His face is a big pool of darkness. While not having a halo, he does have long white wings. He holds a flaming sword in one hand and a scale in the other. [23:18] * Hikaru 'eeps' [23:18] ( Raphael? Or is it Gabriel? I can't remember who does the judging. ) [23:18] ...This must be...Dom? I always thought the one with the sword is Michael. [23:18] ( Wow. Friendly fellow. ) [23:18] * Shigeru stares for a moment, then rubs one of his arms. "I guess I shouldn't be too surprised." [23:18] * Kaene holds the door open and gestures towards the room. "Baseball sucks anyhow." [23:18] *** AnotherKirby is now known as Dom [23:18] ( Smart off to him Vicki! See what happens! ) [23:18] ( SHUT UP ATOM!! ) [23:18] (Calm down.) [23:18] ( Dom does the judging. ) [23:19] ( So nyah! ) [23:19] * Shigeru takes a deep breath and steels himself, then steps in. [23:19] ( This is MY Heaven, and I'll run it how I like :P ) [23:19] * Chelsea gets a shade lighter upon seeing the Large Imposing Figure on the judge's bench. [23:19] * Hikaru enters the room behind Shigeru, looking around nervously. [23:19] ( Oh yeah, everyone make a soul roll at +3 ) [23:19] 2d6+3 [23:19] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Calvin (2d6+3) and gets 6. [23:19] 2d6+3 [23:19] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Hikaru (2d6+3) and gets 6. [23:19] 2d6+3 [23:19] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Shigeru (2d6+3) and gets 12. [23:19] Hey, you know, I have a question. [23:20] ( Ouch. ) [23:20] (Yup.) [23:20] 2d6+3 [23:20] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chelsea (2d6+3) and gets 11. [23:20] (Oh, hell.) [23:20] How true was the bible? Was it all written by a bunch of hallucinating old men? Cause that's what *I* heard. [23:20] (Yes, Chelsea, join me in hell! ^_~) [23:20] ( Wow, she's asking for trouble. ^_^ ) [23:20] ( Everyone is very intimidated by him except for Hikaru, who's only sorta intimidated. ) [23:21] * Kaene looks at Vicki. "That..." [23:21] Is a secret. [23:21] ( And even through the intimidation, I'm still a smartass. ) [23:21] * Chelsea averts her eyes and kind of shuffles. [23:21] * Shigeru swallows, his throat going suddenly dry. [23:21] But then again, I ALSO heard that Jesus was a schizophrenic, so... [23:21] *** Demota is now known as Demotafk [23:21] * Vicki grins sheepishly and shuffles her feet. [23:21] * Dom speaks in a deep, scary voice. "These are the sinners." [23:21] ... [23:22] ( Dom as voiced by James Earl Jones. ) [23:22] * Shigeru winces and fights the urge to step back. [23:22] Well, we aren't SINNERS, persay, just people who made a mistake. [23:22] (*laughs* Save it for Mystery Club: The Movie.) [23:22] * Kaene enters after the rest of MC. "They haven't been judged yet, Dommie. Do your job first." [23:22] * Calvin signs, [23:22] There's a perfect explanation, really [23:22] Do not call me Dommie. [23:22] * Kaene shrugs. "Whatever." [23:23] * Chelsea frowns. (Sinners until proven... well, nevermind.) [23:23] ( Call him.. Dommiekins. If it pisses off Tom, I'd love to see how it effects Dom. ) [23:23] Perhaps you should gather the witnesses, Kaene. [23:23] * Hikaru shudders. [23:24] * Kaene grumbles. "Yeah yeah." She vanishes in a black circle. [23:24] *** Kaene is now known as Kirby [23:24] * Shigeru pushes his glasses up his nose with one shaky hand, then hugs his arms. [23:24] * Vicki can't understand a word of Cal's signs, and cheerfully continues. "See, there's our club instructor, who's a teacher at our school, you know? But he went to Europe and then one of our friends got kidnapped so we went to look for him in his apartment, only there was someone ELSE living in the place the computer told us was his apartment, so then we got shot at and had to defend ourselves. See? Perfectly explainable." [23:24] ( /me finishes being distracted by the Matrix on tv. ) [23:24] * Dom looms over MC. "SILENCE!" [23:24] O_O [23:24] ( *loom*! ) [23:24] You will wait your turn before speaking. [23:25] * Calvin barely flinches. [23:25] * Vicki shrinks back. "...meep..." [23:25] * Hikaru gulps. [23:25] * Shigeru turns his head away. [23:25] *** Kirby is now known as Kaene [23:26] ( Place your bets on the first witness! ) [23:26] * Chelsea tries to turn her head away and fails. [23:26] * Kaene returns, stepping out of a circle of black, and tosses three spinning blue cubes towards Dom. "Here ya go. The guy, his wife, and that cop. Anyone else you forgot to tell me about?" [23:26] * Vicki is still shrinking...and continuing to speak. "Sorry, but kitsune are kind of motormouths when we get nervous, you know? Besides, I didn't even know kitsune could GO to heaven, so this is really interesting for me. To see how the humans live after death. Which really doesn't make much sense when you thinka bout it." [23:27] * Dom ignores Kaene, and cuts Vicki off at the end of her sentence. "We shall now begin the trial." [23:27] ( Hey! ) [23:27] * Shigeru jerks his attention back to Dom. [23:27] ( Don't they get a lawyer? ) [23:28] What do you think Kaene is for? :P [23:28] ( Can't you get the spirit of Lional Hutz to defend them or somethin'? ) [23:28] ( Ah. ) [23:28] Do we get a lawyer? I mean, good grief, it's awful unfair if we don't get to explain things from our side, even t hough I kinda already did. [23:28] * Dom pulls out a scroll, nods a few times, and puts it away. "Be SILENT, lest I excecute you here on the spot!" [23:29] * Kaene whispers, "He's not kidding. I've seen him do it before." [23:29] ( Stalling stalling stalling.... ) [23:29] O_O [23:29] * Vicki meeps again. "Sorry..." [23:30] *** Atom has quit IRC (Quit: ) [23:31] * Dom clears his throat. "Calvin Fort, Vicki Nishimura, Chelsea Taltosh, Hikaru Tanaka, and Shigeru Ueda. You are charged with..." He checks the scroll again. "... A LOT of things." [23:31] How do you plead? [23:31] * Chelsea thinks about that one. [23:32] * Hikaru mentally wishes he watched more courtroom dramas. [23:32] * Shigeru lets the corner of his mouth quirk bitterly as he considers. [23:32] * Calvin signs, [23:32] * Kaene stands there looking bored. You realize she'd be a bishonen if she was male. [23:32] * Shigeru nods. "Guilty." [23:32] Guilty. [23:32] * Chelsea frowns at that, but says nothing. [23:33] Umm... [23:33] * BishonenKirby peeeeeeers at Chelsea and Vicki, and says in his booming voice. "WELL?" [23:33] ( ,,, ) [23:33] ( ... ) [23:33] * Dom does that. [23:33] ( *snerks* ) [23:33] (*laughs*) [23:33] * Chelsea (FEARS BishounenKirby) [23:33] Ummmmm...... [23:33] * Dom kicks the BishonenKirby out of Heaven. [23:34] ...Well, since everyone else seems to be doing it, I guess I'll plead guilty too. [23:35] * Chelsea sighs. "Guilty, I suppose. At least mostly, anyway." [23:35] Mostly? [23:35] * Dom eyes Chelsea. "You are uncertain?" [23:36] * Chelsea works her jaw a bit, opens her mouth a few times, and then finally manages to say "Yes, I am. I hope it does not offend Your Honor." [23:36] I despise uncertainty. [23:37] Feh. You despise everything. [23:37] * Shigeru grins despite himself, but clamps it down. [23:37] You look like an angel that despises a lot...*claps a hand over her mouth* [23:37] * Dom ignores that. "Since you are uncertain, Chelsea, you shall be the first to be judged. Step forward." [23:37] * Chelsea frowns, and steps forward. [23:38] * Shigeru watches Chelsea. [23:38] * Dom glares at Vicki as much as one can when he has no visible face. The effect still works, oddly. [23:38] ^^;;; [23:38] * Hikaru turns to Vicki and mouths "Pleeeeease be quiet." [23:40] * Dom looks over the scroll again. "Where shall I begin? Your parents, maybe?" [23:40] * Shigeru winces. [23:41] Very well. Begin with my parents, Your Honor. [23:42] Or Shall I? [23:44] By all means, go right ahead. [23:44] * Vicki tries to whisper to Kaene "Will he talk about my parents too?" [23:44] * Kaene whispers back. "If you've done something bad to them, probably. He likes to strike at peoples' weak spots." [23:45] (Two minute ping. @_@) [23:46] * Hikaru whispers to Kaene. "Aren't we only on trial for what we did at the apartment?" [23:46] * Chelsea nods, and thinks for a moment. "I was raised without love, merely a financial burden to a pair of afluent simpletons who happened to conceive me on accident. My parents disaproved of everything I enjoyed, and so I merely did it without them knowing. I admit that I decieved them for the majority of my life thus far. I do not regret this, for they deserved no better." [23:47] * Kaene whispers back. "Not entirely. Your immediate sins don't matter to Dom. He looks at the big picture." [23:47] "After I had endured what I thought to be a sufficient quantity of this unpleasantness, I took from them the means of my escape and left. To be blunt, I robbed them and ran away, but I prefer not to think of it that way." [23:47] * Dom listens intently. [23:47] ( Eep. ) [23:47] (Guh. o_O) [23:47] [Calvin:#BESM PING] [23:47] Are you finished? [23:47] Do you wish me to continue, Your Honor? [23:47] Indeed. Tell me about the mark on your right palm. [23:48] * Chelsea considers the mark. "I know little enough about it, Your Honor. I have actually spent some time attempting to learn something about it, to little avail. If it pleases Your Honor, I will divulge what little I have been told of it." [23:48] Please do. [23:49] Very well. It is said to be the sign of something called the Logrus, and it is said to be evil to a point where other, lesser evils would leave me alone for fear of it, although this has not seemed to be the case. My grandparents, who carved the sign on me, were somewhat reticent on the subject." [23:54] (Ow. We'll have to use someone else's log. ^^;) [23:54] *** Dom has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) [23:55] *** Brett has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) [23:55] ( Just start logging again, Ard. ) [23:55] *** Guido has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving ) [23:55] ( To the same file, or another one, and just glue them together. ) [23:55] (Logging's always on. I got up to the point where Chelsea explained the Logrus or somethin'. ^^;) [00:04] ( Actually, that was the last thing that was said. :P ) [00:05] (Woo hoo! I think.) [00:05] [Calvin:#BESM PING] [00:09] *** Brett has joined #besm [00:09] *** Kaene has joined #besm [00:10] *** Dom has joined #besm [00:10] (Whoo!) [00:10] (Wai!) [00:10] ( Re ) [00:10] *** Daisuke sets mode: +ooo Brett Kaene Dom [00:10] ( What was Chelsea's last explanation? I lost it in the mess. ) [00:10] ( About the Logrus. ) [00:11] [Resuming [00:11] ] [00:11] (Really, there isn't any Pattern to it. ^_~) [00:11] ( *snerk* ) [00:12] * Dom nods. "Very well. Tell me about the apartment." [00:12] The apartment is where I live, Your Honor. [00:13] You misunderstand. I am refering to the one you *pause* broke into. [00:13] Ah. I see. [00:16] Well. We were engaged in an endeavor to rescue a friend of ours, and in order for this task to be completed successfully, we needed the knowledge of an acquaintence of ours, a professor by the name of Nakamura. However, Nakamura was far away, and so we could not ask him on the matter, and so we decided to investigate certain places for clues as to where we might find him, or better yet, clues on how to come to the aid of our friend. [00:17] This search eventually took us to what we believed to be his apartment, which we entered, I'll admit, by an illegal method. However, we were then accosted by a man inside the apartment, which surprised us greatly, for we did not thing anyone would be there, much less armed and looking for a fight. [00:19] ( Lemme know when you finish :P ) [00:20] After he shot at us, I bluffed at him in an effort to have him surrender without a fight, which effort failed. I then attempted to disarm the man so that we could discuss the matter rationally, and that failed as well. The man then shot me in the chest, after which, I am saddened to tell Your Honor, my recollection of events becomes a bit less clear. [00:20] I do remember lashing out at the man, but I did so, I am quite certain, without the intent of killing him. [00:20] (Alright, I'm done.) [00:21] * Dom nods. "Very well. You may step back. Next..." [00:21] 1d4 [00:21] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Dom (1d4) and gets 1. [00:21] * Dom points with the flaming sword. "Calvin Fort, step forward." [00:21] * Chelsea bows respectfully and steps back. (And sits down?) [00:22] ( No chairs, but you can sit on the puffy clouds. ) [00:22] * Calvin steps forward. [00:22] * Chelsea has a seat on the puffyclouds. [00:23] You are a demon hunter, yet you've yet to actually defeat any demons. Explain that. [00:23] * Calvin signs, [00:25] And recently, you attempted to take your own life. Explain THAT. [00:25] ( Ooh. Ouch. ) [00:25] ... [00:26] ( Told ya ^_^ ) [00:27] *** Sidhe has quit IRC (Quit: ) [00:27] (That hurts!) [00:27] * Calvin signs, [00:28] ( /me suddenly realizes what he's going to call Shigeru on, and eeps. ) [00:28] * Shigeru smiles softly at this, then wipes it from his face. [00:28] * Dom nods. "Now, explain your actions at the apartment." [00:28] (Heh.) [00:30] * Kaene twirls the really huge key around in boredom. [00:30] * Calvin signs, [00:31] ( That it? ) [00:32] ( Once you guys are done with explanations, let me know :P ) [00:32] ( Yep. ) [00:32] * Dom nods. "Very well. You may step back. Next is..." [00:32] d4 [00:32] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Dom (d4) and gets 2. [00:32] * Calvin steps back. [00:32] Hikaru Tanaka. Step forward. [00:32] ( Gahh... Hikaru didn't give me anything to work with @_@ ) [00:33] (He's such a good kid. ;P) [00:33] * Hikaru stands up and steps forward, shivering a bit as he does so. [00:33] First, I would like to ask you why you are a part of this group, given your conflicting origins. [00:34] Hey, yeah, what is Hikaru? We never found out. [00:34] * Vicki claps a hand over her mouth. Again. [00:34] * Shigeru puts his finger to his lips and nods at Vicki. [00:34] * Dom gives Vicki a glare that says "Silence" for him. [00:35] *** BishonenKirby has joined #besm [00:35] I...I don't really understand my origins myself. But I want to. Being in this group, I find out more about supernaturals, and maybe I'll eventually learn more about myself. And it gives me a chance to help people out, I guess. [00:35] * Dom nods. [00:35] *** Daisuke sets mode: +o BishonenKirby [00:37] I should like to know what you think of your fellow teammates. [00:37] Individually. [00:37] * Shigeru cringes and shifts the laptops. [00:37] Okay... [00:38] ( ...Weird question. Are we trying to force something outta the poor boy? ) [00:38] ( The fact that he's madly in love with Calvin? ^_~ ) [00:38] ( That's a secret :P ) [00:38] (Everyone's madly in love with Calvin! *_*) [00:38] ( ... ) [00:38] ( I shoulda given him Guy _and_ Girl Magnet. ^_^ ) [00:38] ( Not me! ) [00:38] ( 1) I don't have any background to work with for Hikaru (literally), and 2) I have something planned where this may actually be important ^_^ ) [00:39] ( Vicki's too in love with herself, at the moment. ) [00:39] (Narcissist.) [00:39] I'm kind of frightened of Calvin-san. Knowing that he's a hunter scares me... I can't help but expect him to suddenly decide I'm a threat. But he seems to be a good person, and he always tries hard to protect Miyu-san, so I think he's okay. [00:39] ( You know it. ) [00:39] ( I thought Vicki liked Byakko. ) [00:39] ( Vicki....we'll talk about Vicki later. ) [00:39] ( Not much later ^_^ ) [00:40] ( Yeah yeah. ) [00:40] Miyu-san is...interesting. She's really friendly and everything, but she always says strange things... I feel sorry for her, not having her memory and everything. But she's nice, and I wish we could help her. [00:41] Eoi-san... I don't really know him. But he cares a lot about his grandfather. And he was willing to help Kimiko, even though he hated her. [00:42] Norii-san... er... *blushes* She's really, uh...friendly. She kinda scares me, sometimes. But I don't think she's a bad person, and she always helps out. [00:43] ( Friendly... that's a hell of an understatement. ) [00:43] (He's trying to be nice, I guess. ;P) [00:43] ( It's technically true... sorta :P ) [00:43] Chelsea-san... I don't even know as well as I know Eoi-san. I can't say much about her, but she seems nice. [00:44] ( And then....there's me. *^_^* ) [00:44] ( And Shigeru :P ) [00:44] (Nyah. ;P) [00:44] Shigeru-san... I just barely met him. But he tried to help Calvin-san, and he felt bad about what happened, so he must be a good guy. [00:45] ( My turn? My turn? ) [00:45] ( That's what he WANTS you to think ^_^ ) [00:45] (Mwahahaha.) [00:45] ( So eager to be on the chopping block. ) [00:46] ( Chopping nothing, Hikaru's madly in love with me ^_~ ) [00:46] * Shigeru blinks at Hikaru in surprise. [00:46] (Yes, but Calvin comes first!) [00:46] [A small black portal opens next to Kaene, and she reaches in and pulls out a bagel, and starts eating] [00:47] ( Bah. You all love Nakamura :P ) [00:47] And Vicki-san...um...well...*blushes DEEPLY* Uh... well, she's kind of mean to people sometimes, and she says things that she probably shouldn't... but she doesn't try to hurt anyone... I think. And she helps us all, too. She saved us from that Ice monster and stuff... and I kinda... um... well... *trails off* [00:47] *** Demotafk is now known as Demota [00:47] * Hikaru is beet red by now. [00:47] * Vicki blinks and tips her ears forward. [00:48] (Done. :P ) [00:48] ( Oh HELL no. ) [00:48] * Dom nods. "I see. And your perspective of the apartment incident?" [00:48] ( ...Darn you, Brett, force it outta him! ) [00:49] ( Aahahahahah. Hikki likes Vicki! ) [00:49] ( Nah. It's too early for that :P ) [00:49] ( Damn. ) [00:49] ( So? Calvin likes Miyu, of all people :P ) [00:50] ( Hey, yeah, Cal gets to like Miyu this early! ) [00:50] ( Force it outta the kid! ) [00:50] Um. The apartment. Well, we wanted to find out where Nakamura-sensei went, so that we could rescue Miyu-san from that strange woman. So he tried to get into his apartment, but we didn't think to knock, which was really stupid. It wasn't the right way to get in, but it was the only thing we could think to do. [00:50] ( Heh. Yeah, but the Hikki and Vicki sound similar ) [00:50] (Force it out yourself, Vicki. :P) [00:50] ( ...Good idea! I'll do that. ) [00:50] ( Well, there's Miyuvin... ) [00:51] And when he started threatening us with his gun, I got scared. I didn't want anyone to get hurt. I didn't try to hurt him, only to get the gun away. But it didn't work, and Chelsea-san got shot. [00:51] ( And so'd you :P ) [00:52] When the police showed up, I tackled one of them because I thought he'd shoot someone. I didn't mean to hurt anybody... things just didn't go right. [00:52] * Hikaru looks at his toes. [00:52] ( that's all. ) [00:52] * Dom nods. "Very well. You may step back. Next..." [00:52] d2 [00:52] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Dom (d2) and gets 2. [00:52] * Hikaru goes and sits down. [00:52] Shigeru Ueda, step forward. [00:53] * Shigeru nods and does so. [00:53] * Dom pulls out the scroll (which looks suspiciously like a combination of logs and charactersheets. [00:53] (*snicker*) [00:53] ( Hee ) [00:54] * Chelsea bites her lip. [00:54] ( Brett's God, isn't he? ) [00:54] (In this world? Yes.) [00:54] ( Hell no. I far surpass the mere term "God" ) [00:54] * Vicki scoots next to Hikaru and whispers "What was that 'umm well' stuff?" [00:55] ( So God answers to you in this world? ) [00:55] * Hikaru reddens again. "Uh...nothing. Really." ^_^;; [00:55] ( You'd better believe it. ) [00:56] You've got quite a case here... I suppose I shall begin with this: You are responsible for assisting Chelsea Taltosh in stealing a large sum of currency from her parents? [00:56] * Vicki whispers "Aww, come on, tell! It's not fair, trailing off like that." [00:56] * Shigeru nods. "I am." [00:57] Care to explain why you would do something like that for someone you'd never met face to face before? [00:57] * Shigeru frowns slightly and considers. [00:58] I... connected to her. We told stories that seemed outrageous, even though they were true. More than anyone I've met face to face, because I avoided them. She wanted to be free, and she deserved it. I wanted to help. So I did. [01:00] * Dom nods. [01:01] You have a very interesting way of dealing with people you don't like. A "Fate Worse Than Death" as it were. Explain this. [01:01] * Shigeru winces. [01:01] I've done it once. It's haunted me since. [01:01] I'd call a witness, but there's nothing left to call. [01:02] * Hikaru starts in shock. [01:02] * Shigeru takes a shuddering breath and nods. [01:02] You do understand that, correct? [01:02] Yes. I do. I destroyed his mind and his soul. [01:03] ( Dude, he's not just a mindtwister, he's a soul eater too! ) [01:03] * Vicki blinks. [01:03] (They're yummy.) [01:03] * Chelsea frowns. [01:03] * Shigeru looks to the rest of the group, then sharply turns his head away. [01:04] * Calvin is unfazed. [01:04] * Hikaru doesn't do a very good job of hiding his horrified expression. [01:05] * Chelsea looks sad. [01:05] You say it haunts you, yet you've jumped into the minds of two people since, knowing what might have happened. One of whom failed to actually cause any harm directly related to you, the other who might arguably be considered your friend. Explain this. [01:05] ( Good thing Hikaru went before Shigeru, or he wouldn't know WHAT to say. ^_^;; ) [01:06] * Shigeru stares at the puffy white clouds. "The first... she was trying to kidnap a girl I barely knew. What I do know is that the girl didn't have all her memories." [01:08] She couldn't make a decision. Not an educated one. We... tried to reason with the woman, but she insisted on taking the girl anyway. She did something to make us blind. I wanted to do something, and nobody else could, so I tried to just... make her stop. Not destroy her... I didn't know I could do what I did. [01:09] * Shigeru closes his eyes. "Calvin... Calvin, I wanted to wake up. To snap him out of that nightmareish trance. I felt partially responsible for not saving the girl." [01:10] He wouldn't listen to me, or anyone else, so I tried to make him listen. He tried to kill himself, and I panicked and... broke his mind. [01:10] ( That all? ) [01:11] * Hikaru looks at the ground and frowns sadly. [01:11] I- I was horrified, and I hate myself for it. That's all. [01:11] * Dom nods. "And your view on the apartment incident?" [01:12] It was my idea. I got the address and led them to the apartment. We didn't think to knock, because we thought nobody was in there. [01:13] A man thought we were burglars, I guess, and tried shooting us. The others talked to him. I invaded his mind. It looked like if we could get his gun away, we could talk to him instead of him shooting at us. Chelsea... Chelsea tried my idea, and got shot in her chest for the trouble. [01:15] * Shigeru opens his eyes and feels them start to unfocus, then snaps them back into violet clarity. "I thought she was going to die. I really did. I felt myself... like I was nine years ago. But I didn't do it. I didn't destroy his soul." [01:15] I don't remember much beyond that. I was too busy holding myself back. But I didn't care what happened afterwards as long as Chelsea lived. [01:16] (That's all.) [01:16] * Brett nods. "Very well. You may step back. Next..." [01:16] d1 [01:16] A one sided die, how very clever, asshole. [01:16] (*laughs*) [01:16] * Brett kicks Daisuke. And Dom said that. [01:16] * Vicki snickers. [01:16] ( Shut up, Dicesuke. ) [01:16] * Shigeru steps back and away from the rest of the group. [01:16] ( Dicesuke has just doomed you all, you realize :P ) [01:17] * Chelsea glances at Shigeru. [01:17] Vicki Nishimura, step forward. [01:17] ( WAH! ) [01:17] * Vicki blinks. [01:17] ( Ooh. Vicki's turn. Time for contempt of court. :P ) [01:17] * Vicki steps forward. [01:17] * Dom pulls out the scroll. [01:18] I'd just like to say, before we start, that I really should get home soon. Mom can't cook a thing without me, you know. [01:18] ... [01:18] ... [01:18] ( ^_^ ) [01:19] If you continue speaking out of line, you may not have the ability TO return home after the trial. [01:19] ( "We're doomed." ) [01:19] Okay, okay, sorry. [01:19] * Shigeru lets his eyes meet Chelsea's for a moment, then turns his attention to Vicki. [01:19] * Hikaru watches Vicki nervously. [01:20] (..... BishonenKirby? @_@ ) [01:20] First, I should like to ask you of the incident at the shrine. Specifically, when your teammate's grandfather was injured, your attention seemed focussed on the one who assaulted him. [01:21] ( *Sparkles* Hi. ) [01:21] I didn't think he threw him THAT hard. [01:21] ( @_@ ) [01:21] (*cracks up*) [01:21] * Chelsea frowns and returns to her own thoughts. [01:21] I tend to forget how fragile human elders are. [01:21] ( Vicki's going to be turned human for a week, isn't she? ) [01:22] ( -_- ) [01:22] Yet why were you attracted to the man who assaulted you in the first place? [01:22] ( ... ) [01:22] * Dom said that. [01:22] ( Too many icons @_@ ) [01:22] Assaulted me? [01:22] I wasn't assaulted. [01:22] ( THe solution to your problem is communism! ) [01:22] I got there late. [01:23] But your teammates were. In front of your eyes, no less. [01:23] ... [01:23] Sometimes people do stupid things. [01:23] Myself moreso than others, I've found. That was a stupid thing. [01:24] I don't really have a reason, or an explanation, that wouldn't require psychoanalyzing. [01:25] * Vicki shrugs. "Take it or leave it" [01:25] ... [01:25] * Hikaru winces. [01:26] ( The overlord is thinking... ) [01:27] * Dom clears his throat. [01:27] Why are you with this group? [01:28] * Vicki shrugs. "Something to do, I guess. At least, that's how it started. Now...I stay because they're my friends. I don't have a whole lot, so I try to keep the ones I have. Even though I do the aforementioned stupid things a lot." [01:29] And do you trust them? [01:30] ...I suppose so, yes. [01:31] A hypothetical question: If you could only save one person from the flames of battle, would it be your mother, your lover, or your child? [01:31] ...My child. [01:31] * Kaene smacks her forehead. "Dom, do you have to ask that question EVERY trial?" [01:31] * Shigeru blinks at Kaene. [01:32] * Dom glares at Kaene. "It's my courtroom, I'll do as I please." He turns back to Vicki. "And what is your point of view on the apartment incident?" [01:32] ( Heh. That choice is pretty much genetically hard-coded into everyone. Save the child! ) [01:32] ...In summation...we made a mistake. [01:32] (It *is* genetically hard-coded, really.) [01:32] We expected something that wasn't true, and didn't really know how to handle the situation that occured. [01:33] ( YEah. ) [01:33] I should like to hear your complete observation. [01:33] .... [01:33] ( Feh. What does genetics have to do with it. ) [01:33] (Well, it can give you pointy ears, for one.) [01:33] How was it not complete? O_o [01:33] ( Or shiny feet. ) [01:34] ( Genetics influence behavior. ) [01:34] ( ...shiny feet? ) [01:34] (Shiny feet!) [01:34] Let's put it this way. Do you have anything to add to the others' explanations? [01:34] ...No, they pretty much got it right. [01:35] * Dom nods. "Very well. You may step back." [01:35] I would like to say, though, that I was trying to scare the cops into running away. [01:35] Not trying to hurt them. Kay? Kay. [01:35] * Vicki steps backwards, sitting next to Hikaru. [01:37] * Dom crosses his robed arms and stairs downwards at the scale. [01:37] * Shigeru notices this and lowers his head. [01:37] * Calvin eyes Dom defiantly. [01:38] * Hikaru flicks his eyes nervously between Dom and Vicki. [01:38] * Chelsea manages to maintain a neutral expression. [01:38] * Vicki raises an eyebrow at the judge. [01:38] * Kaene yawns. "Why do I have to do this...?" [01:40] * Dom "looks" up. [01:40] Exactly who's idea was it to pick the locks on the apartment? [01:41] * Calvin signs, [01:42] Very well. [01:42] ( Argh! ) [01:42] * Shigeru turns pale as he looks from Chelsea to Dom. [01:42] ( What? ) [01:42] As the greater entity said, "Very well." [01:42] (*snerk*) [01:42] ( Stupid buttons ;_; ) [01:42] ( Heh. ) [01:42] WHoo! [01:42] * Demota waves Brett flags [01:43] (Dem! *shoves him behind parens*) [01:43] Vicki Nishimura, step forward. [01:43] ( Wah! ) [01:43] ...Again? [01:43] * Vicki steps forward. [01:43] ...Yes. Again. [01:43] You know, that's so like dieties. Always picking on the kitsune. [01:43] * Dom holds the scales up, and waits until they reach an alignment before continuing. [01:43] * Hikaru gulps nervously. [01:44] You claim you forget how fragile humans can be. Therefore, I have judged that you shall live for one week as a human. [01:44] ( @_@ ) [01:44] ( O_O ) [01:44] .... [01:45] ( Bad Dem, giving the GM ideas. ) [01:45] Hey, great joke! Now, seriously, why'm I up here? [01:45] Hikaru Tanaka, step forward. [01:45] ( Sorry. ^_^; ) [01:45] (Actually, I really do like that idea. It's fitting.) [01:45] * Hikaru steps forward. [01:45] Hey, hey no! I don't wanna be human!!!! [01:45] Uh... Dom's always serious... [01:45] * Hikaru continues to stare at his shoes. [01:45] This is not cool! I'm gonna report this to your boss, mister! [01:45] [Vicki is human now, by the way, if she was in her kitsune form prior to.] [01:46] ... [01:46] -_- [01:46] My poor ears...and my beautiful tail... [01:47] I hope you never get reincarnated, cause if you do, you are SO dead!! [01:47] ... [01:47] * Calvin claps his hand over Vicki's mouth, too late. [01:47] Hikaru, while it was wrong of you to not try to stop your friends from breaking into the apartment illegally, you indeed caused no real harm to the occupants. Furthermore, you seem to care about your teammates. [01:47] * Shigeru glances at Vicki and shakes his head. [01:47] I judge thee not guilty. [01:48] * Hikaru sighs in relief. "Thank you, your honor." [01:48] Chelsea Taltosh, step forward. [01:48] * Hikaru returns to the group and sits back down. [01:48] * Chelsea steps forward. [01:48] (... Taltosh? ^^; ) [01:48] * Kaene whispers to Vicki "You realize he's immortal and doesn't GET reincarnated, right?" [01:48] * Hikaru whispers "I'm sorry that had to happen to you, Vicki-san." [01:49] * Vicki whispers to Hikaru "He took away me beautiful tail...I'm going to be a laughing stock!" [01:50] * Dom holds the scales out again. "You have taken what was not yours. You have judged that the owners were not worthy of having it, without having the right to pass such a judgement. [01:50] Therefore, what you took shall be returned. [01:50] In addition... [01:50] *still whispering* Maybe if you just didn't go back home for a week? [01:51] You assaulted the owner of the apartment with a powerful spell, claiming it a reaction. [01:51] Therefore, for one week, you shall not have any magic with which to react with. [01:52] Calvin Fort, step forth. [01:52] * Chelsea frowns and returns to where she was sitting. [01:52] * Calvin steps forward. [01:52] *also whispering* And where would I stay? [01:52] *youknowthedrill* Uh...I dunno. [01:52] ( At Chez Fort! ) [01:53] * Shigeru flicks his eyes to Chelsea, then locks them on Dom again. [01:53] ( FOrmer home of Miyu. And Eoi stayed there one night ) [01:54] You claim you fight to protect your friends. However, you seem to prefer solving things with violence before anything else. [01:54] Therefore, in an attempt to make you consider other methods, for one week you shall lose your sword. [01:55] * Calvin goes pale. [01:55] [Calvin's sword vanishes] [01:55] * Calvin starts shaking with rage. [01:55] ( NOOOOO!!! SWORD!) [01:55] ( SWORD! I LIKE SWORD! ) [01:55] ( Oh [CRAP]. ) [01:55] * Kaene whispes. "Oi, it's only a week. Consider yourself lucky!" [01:55] O_O [01:55] .. [01:55] And Shigeru Ueda. Step forth. [01:56] Sir, you do realize that last time we took away Cal's sword, he tried to kill us all, right? [01:56] ( Wow. Brett's effectively turned everyone combat-useless. ^^; ) [01:56] * Shigeru looks to Calvin in shock, then steps forward, gazing at Dom with certain finality. [01:56] This is potentially hazardous to our health. [01:56] Oh? I had not been made aware of this. [01:56] * Calvin steps forward. [01:56] * Calvin signs, [01:56] Yeah. It was while he was in that...suicidal stupor. [01:57] We took the sword away, and he went on a rampage. [01:57] Do you place such importance on a single object? [01:57] ( Turn it into Kenshin's sword! ) [01:57] * Calvin signs, [01:57] * Calvin signs, [01:57] That is a falsehood. [01:58] Your weapon is merely an object, no more alive than my own blade. [01:58] * Calvin signs, [01:58] Another falsehood. Kaene, would you gather these souls for him? [01:58] ( Yay! ) [01:58] Ah, geez! Not again. [01:59] * Chelsea sneers. [01:59] * Dom glares, and Kaene sighs and vanishes. [01:59] * Hikaru blinks. [01:59] *to Chelsea* What souls? [01:59] * Kaene returns, arms full of the bluish floating cubes. "Here. Have fun." [01:59] ... [01:59] So, wait... [02:00] Then what's in the sword? [02:00] * Calvin signs, [02:00] * Shigeru blinks at the cubes. [02:00] ( Sh, Vicki. You don't know what Calvin is saying. :P ) [02:00] No. This is what living mortals are allowed to view. [02:00] * Hikaru stares. [02:00] * Chelsea whispers to Hikaru, "Calvin apparently believes that his sword contains the souls of his anscestors." [02:01] ( Oh yeah. ) [02:01] ... [02:01] *whisp* Oh. [02:01] * Dom nods at Kaene. "Afterlife is a sacred, precious, and above all, private thing. Living mortals are not allowed to view its true form. [02:01] So these are... [02:02] ... [02:02] * Calvin turns his back on Dom. [02:02] ( Poor Shigeru has to sit here in suspense about his judgement. ^_^;; ) [02:02] * Dom seems to not notice. "Shigeru, step forward." [02:03] * Shigeru shakes his head as if to clear it, then steps forward and gazes at Dom. [02:04] *** Demotafk has joined #BESM [02:04] *** Demota has quit IRC (SVSKilled: GHOST command used by Demotafk ) [02:04] *** Demotafk is now known as Demota [02:04] *** Daisuke sets mode: +o Demota [02:05] First, you've assisted Chelsea in stealing from her parents. [02:05] ( ... ) [02:05] * Shigeru nods. [02:05] * Dom said that X.x [02:06] You broke into your friend's mind, albeit in an attempt to help him recover. [02:06] And you decimated a soul. [02:07] * Shigeru nods again and just looks to Dom, waiting. [02:07] * Hikaru holds his breath. [02:07] You've robbed that man of any chance of redemption he might have had in the afterlife. [02:08] As such, I judge thee sentenced to death, so that you might be redeemed yourself. [02:08] * Hikaru gasps. [02:08] * Chelsea blanches. [02:08] * Shigeru stares at Dom for a moment. "Is that all?" [02:08] * Dom lifts his flaming sword and steps down from the seat. [02:09] ... [02:09] * Dom nods. [02:09] O_O [02:09] * Calvin steps in front of Shigeru. [02:09] Everyone should have a chance to redeem themselves, it is my belief. [02:09] You can't kill him! He said he's sorry! [02:09] * Chelsea stands. "So let him redeem himself in life. Or does that not count?" [02:10] It does not. He took both the man's life and afterlife. [02:10] * Shigeru looks back at Vicki. "Sorry doesn't mean anything. I did it. It didn't matter what he was going to do to me, I did it, and I might do it again. I... I don't even deserve an afterlife." [02:10] * Hikaru looks sick. [02:11] * Calvin signs, [02:11] * Kaene sighs. "Why does it always end like this?" [02:11] If..if you kill him, you'll have to kill me too! [02:11] I won't let one of my friends die for a mistake! [02:11] Vicki-san... [02:11] Your judgement has already been passed. [02:12] * Calvin signs, [02:12] And yours as well. [02:12] Y'know, you seem to have an awfully straightforward view of something as complex as life. You don't even seem to understand something so simple as cause and effect. Did it ever occur to you that there might be reasons for people doing what they do? [02:12] I'm not leaving without Shigeru! [02:12] * Calvin signs, [02:13] * Shigeru stares at Calvin. "What the hell are you saying? After we did all that to get you to live..." [02:13] * Hikaru looks at Shigeru, looking like he's about to start crying. [02:13] I...I know what he did, and it's horrible. But he's our friend! [02:14] You're talking to a led wall. [02:14] Dom's thick like that. [02:14] What about all the people that'll be hurt by him being gone? What about all the good stuff he can still do? [02:14] * Chelsea sneers. "Yeah, he is thick." She draws her dagger. "I'm with the others. If you wish to damn Shigeru, than I'm afraid I'll have to present myself as an obstacle to your wishes." [02:14] * Dom glares at Kaene. "Think of me what you will, but this is my courtroom, and it is my duty to pass judgement." [02:15] You cannot hope to defeat me. [02:16] * Calvin signs, [02:16] Watch me not care. [02:16] * Shigeru looks at Calvin, then Vicki, then Hikaru, then Chelsea. "Don't do this to yourselves." His eyes water slightly. "Please don't. You're free to live. You deserve it. I'm... lucky I got this." [02:16] Is 'justice' the only thing that matters to you? [02:16] In the end, judgement shall be passed. And then you shall be judged again. [02:16] We don't accept your judgement of our friend. [02:17] I mean, what good is justice if it's cold hearted? What about mercy? [02:17] Mercy is Rodney's job. [02:18] ( ...Rodney? @_@ ) [02:18] ( ^_^ ) [02:18] [The flaming sword flares and burns brighter.] [02:18] * Chelsea grins. "Alright. Can we get Rodney in here?" [02:18] * Hikaru cringes. [02:18] Enough. Judgement shall be passed. [02:19] ( I be off now. I'll read log tomorrow. z.x ) [02:19] [As Dom raises his sword, the doors to the courtroom are tossed open, and a tall foreigner dressed in black enters. "Objection."] [02:19] *** BishonenKirby is now known as Woman [02:20] ( Log will be placed by tomorrow, right? ^^; ) [02:20] (Bloody likely.) [02:20] ( AAAAGH! It's Nylarhotep! Oh, wait. It's a woman. ) [02:20] ( Alright. Night night. z.z ) [02:20] * Shigeru blinks in surprise and looks to the foreigner. [02:20] *** Demota has quit IRC (Quit: ) [02:20] * Chelsea turns to look hopefully at the newcomer. [02:20] ( Nylarhotep? Nah. I can create worse than that :P ) [02:20] * Hikaru perks up and looks at the new person. [02:20] ( Brett: Suuuuuure you can. :P ) [02:20] * Dom looks about as surprised as someone with no face can. [02:21] "You?!" [02:21] ( You don't think? ) [02:21] (Don't tempt him, Hikaru.) [02:21] It's been a while, Dommiekins. [02:21] ( No. No, I don't. You're evil, but you're no Lovecraft. :P ) [02:21] ( Nylarthotep only has 1001 forms. You can do better than that in BESM. He could make ^_-d. ) [02:21] ( But Puu's ultimate power is balanced by the Blargh. ) [02:22] ( *gasps!* No! Not ^_-d! ) [02:22] ....Dommiekins? [02:22] ( Feh. I have no ultimate power :P ) [02:22] * Chelsea grins. [02:22] How DARE you enter this sacred place! You have no right to be here. [02:22] * Shigeru cracks a small, quirky grin. [02:22] Dom...mie...kins? O_o [02:22] ... [02:23] And you have no right to take the life of my pawns. [02:23] Somehow, I can't reconcile the name with...him. [02:23] PAWNS?!?! [02:23] ...pawns? [02:23] Excuse me, we're nobody's pawns, thank you very much!! [02:23] Pawns?!... So it's another game, Treasa? [02:23] ... [02:23] * Chelsea raises an eyebrow at this. [02:23] *** Woman is now known as Treasa [02:23] ( WHAT?! ) [02:23] ( What the hell is a vampire doing in heaven? ) [02:23] * Shigeru tilts his head and studies the Treasa. [02:23] You know me. Games are all I *chuckle* live for. [02:24] ( You'd think she'd spontaneously combust. ) [02:24] ( Treasa? Was that the one from the original MC? @_@ ) [02:24] I'm a pawn? Huh. [02:24] ( you'd think... ) [02:24] (Likely!) [02:24] * Chelsea smiles and mutters, "Well. This makes things rather more interesting." [02:25] * Calvin signs, [02:25] Indeed. Dommiekins' own law says that he cannot take the lives of souls which do not belong to him. [02:26] And Dommiekins wouldn't want to interfere with my game, would he? [02:26] ... So be it. But he must still be punished for his crimes. [02:26] * Hikaru scrunches his face up, trying to puzzle through this new information. [02:26] * Shigeru pushes his glasses up his nose. "For some reason, Calvin, the idea of my soul belonging to an evil woman doesn't really surprise me." [02:27] * Calvin signs, [02:27] * Treasa smirks, "In that case..." She turns to Shigeru (make a soul roll +3), "What's say we let you decide your own punishment?" [02:28] 2d6+3 [02:28] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Shigeru (2d6+3) and gets 11. [02:28] (Ha! Ow. x.x) [02:28] * Chelsea frowns again. [02:28] That doesn't sound like a good idea... [02:28] * Shigeru stares at Treasa starts shaking like a leaf. He stumbles backwards. [02:29] [The flames on Dom's sword flicker and almost (but don't quite) die] [02:29] * Calvin catches Shigeru. [02:29] I- I- [02:29] * Shigeru feels his knees go weak and accidentally gets Calvin's loudest thought. [02:29] Perhaps. But if I deem his self-imposed judgement too light, I shall add to it. [02:30] * Chelsea frowns more deeply, and ca... moves over to Shigeru's side. [02:30] Whew! Intense! [02:30] * Chelsea grabs at whichever of Shigeru's hands is nearer. [02:30] (Great, Chelsea, I get *your* loudest thought, too. :P) [02:30] * Hikaru whispers to Kaene. "Does she do this frequently?" [02:30] * Brett gathers up all the souls that're just lying around. [02:30] (That's the idea. :P) [02:30] ( ,,, ) [02:31] ( ... ) [02:31] * Kaene helps the GM. "No. This is the first time I've seen her." [02:31] Heard about her, tho. [02:31] ( Loudest though being? ) [02:31] Who...who is she? [02:31] (Guys. Thoughts. ^^;) [02:32] * Calvin is currently thinking ~Who is this evil woman, and why the hell isn't she horribly dead?~ [02:32] ~ Don't you DARE leave me, Shig. ~ [02:33] * Kaene picks up a handfull of cubes. "Beats me. Some vampire-turned goddess, or diety, or politician, or something. Not really my specialty." [02:33] ... [02:33] * Shigeru stares at Chelsea, then looks up at Calvin, then to Dom and Treasa. "My... my own punishment?" [02:33] * Calvin signs, [02:33] * Calvin barely keeps his jaw from dropping. [02:33] [They nod in unision.] [02:33] ...v...vampire? [02:34] Eh. Something like that. [02:34] ( Only 2 people have thoughts :P ) [02:34] ... [02:34] ( What? ) [02:35] ( Shigeru is reading loud thoughts :P ) [02:35] ( Of people in contact with him. ) [02:35] ( Evidently, only Calvin and Chelsea are thinking. ) [02:35] (No, he's getting thoughts of people who contact him. He does that involuntarily.) [02:35] * Calvin walks as close to the vampirewoman as he can get and signs [02:35] ( oop. My bad. ) [02:36] * Treasa completely ignores Calvin. [02:36] * Shigeru continues quivering, trying to work his mind around the thought of his own punishment. [02:37] * Kaene has a thought, opens a small rift, pulls out a sack, and shoves the souls inside. [02:37] * Shigeru swallows painfully. "I... I don't know. I'd normally say death is too good for me, and I was ready to accept that, but-" He glances at Chelsea. "But that's not really an option. Let me think." [02:38] No. Death is not an option. Try harder. [02:38] * Shigeru looks at Treasa with what would be annoyance, if he wasn't so scared out of his mind. "I'm trying. Up until five minutes ago, I was sure I'd end up in hell." [02:39] You may yet, child. But not right now. [02:40] * Shigeru feels the corner of his mouth quirk. "Good. Wouldn't want to be disappointed." [02:40] * Kaene stands in front of Dom. "Looks like this may take a while. I'm gonna go return these." She pats the sack, then opens a rift and steps through. [02:41] * Kaene returns in a minute. "Ah man! Still not done?" [02:43] ( Don't rush Ard. It's a tough question. :P ) [02:43] * Shigeru looks to the rest of the group. "You... know, mostly. Do you have any ideas? It's... I can't think of anything bad enough." He laughs, but it's short and bitter. [02:43] ( Kaene gets bored easily :P ) [02:43] (It's hurting my head is what it's doing! @_@) [02:44] * Chelsea , still holding Shig's hand, thinks, ~ Community service, Shig. Put the rest of your life to use by doing good things to balance the bad. ~ [02:44] I...don't have any ideas. [02:44] * Shigeru closes his eyes. "I'm already trying that. And I already relive what I did, all of it, over and over again." [02:44] ( Force him to marry Norii! ) [02:45] (*thwaps Brett*) [02:45] Asking them to take away my... powers would be doing me a favor. I'd like it too much. [02:45] ( Worse, force him to marry Kimiko. :P ) [02:46] ( Nah. Kimiko is Eoi's girl ) [02:46] ( Isn't Eoi Kimiko's girl right now? :P ) [02:47] ( Only temporarily :P ) [02:48] * Kaene pulls out a yo-yo. [02:48] ( Dear lord, I've killed the game @_@ ) [02:49] (I'm trying! It's really *hard* coming up with an appropriate punishment when you have a character who hates himself! :P) [02:49] ( Not really. Cut an arm off :P ) [02:50] * Chelsea thinks, ~ Yes, but that just means that you're really repentant about it. Give it time, help some people out. As hideously melodramatic as it may sound, I know you can make things right eventually. Wouldn't you *like* that? ~ [02:50] ( We aren't sadists! We can't think of any good ideas to suggest! ) [02:50] (Nope. He doesn't think it's bad enough.) [02:50] ( Lose an eye for wisdom. ) [02:51] * Shigeru shakes his head. "I can never bring him back. It wouldn't matter. But I've been trying to do what I could." [02:53] ( Become a kitsune :P ) [02:53] (*snicker* And how is that punishment, exactly? :P) [02:54] ( I gotta go, minna. See you! ) [02:54] *** Vicki has left #besm [02:54] ( Vicki will kill you :P ) [02:54] (He doesn't know that!) [02:55] ( Switch bodies with Chelsea! ) [02:55] I- I don't know. Maiming or transforming or whatever, it's only physical. I... can't think of anything much worse to do to myself otherwise than just let me suffer like I have been. But I don't think you'd be happy with that. Maybe make my guilt worse, but I don't really know how you'd do that, either, short of having me turn into a screaming wreck every moment of every day. [02:55] (It's *his* punishment, not Chelsea's!) [02:55] ( Give him a curse to only be attractive to violent, psychotic women. ) [02:55] (He already is. Oops, did I say that? *runs*) [02:57] ( Ask the vampire! She's evil, she must have plenty of ideas! :P ) [02:57] (*whaps Shig*) [02:57] * Shigeru blinks as he realizes something. "But... I guess something I'm frightened of, is-" He shudders and looks at his laptop sadly. "You... could make my blindness complete." [02:58] (He figured out something horrible enough. Too bad we're all gonna have to suffer for it, if they do it. :P) [02:58] * Hikaru blinks. [02:58] * Chelsea looks sadly at Shigeru. [02:58] ( So much for Shigeru ever communicating with Calvin again. :P ) [02:58] ( Heh. ) [02:58] (Nah, it's possible. Just difficult. A pain in the butt, even.) [02:58] ... [02:58] ( Oh, wait. Telepathy. ) [02:59] * Treasa looks at Dom. "There. Acceptable?" [02:59] * Dom nods. [02:59] * Hikaru looks at the ground, sadly. [02:59] Very well. For one week, you shall be blind to the world. [03:00] * Hikaru looks up, surprised. [03:00] [And Shigeru is.] [03:00] Well, now that that's done with, what say we return them to earth so they can continue the game? [03:01] * Shigeru feels everything go dark, and with a trembling hand removes his glasses and puts them in his pocket. [03:01] * Dom almost seems to sigh. "Very well. Kaene! Lead them back." [03:01] What? Why should I have to... [03:01] * Kaene sighs. "Alright, come on." [03:01] * Chelsea can't seem to find anything to say. [03:02] ... [03:02] Remember to pick up their unconscious friend. She, too, shall have judgement passed when she awakens. [03:02] Yeah yeah. [03:02] * Shigeru shakes his head in amazement as he grabs a cylander from his pocket and presses a button, extending it to a walking stick. "Just a week," he murmurs. "I thought it was forever." [03:02] * Calvin makes to follow Kaene. [03:03] My dear, forever would mean it was pointless to have you in the game. [03:03] * Shigeru feels himself being led forward and doesn't resist. [03:03] Useless players is not something I need. [03:03] * Hikaru follows the group. [03:03] * Kaene leads the MC out of the room. The door closes after. [03:03] *** Dom has quit IRC (Quit: ) [03:03] *** Treasa has quit IRC (Quit: ) [03:04] ( Shall I walk you back to earth, or wanna end? ) [03:04] * Chelsea walks alongside Shig, still clutching his hand. [03:04] ( End. ) [03:04] ( I'm for ending. ) [03:04] [Session End]
