[20:34] [Day: Presumably still Monday. Time: 7:00 before you went in here. Now, you're not sure.] [20:35] Go Team Smorfy! [20:35] Yaaaaaaaaaaay! [20:35] ( Oi ) [20:35] ( Lemme finish -_- ) [20:36] ( I'm cheering for the team victory, since I wasn't here to celebrate last week. ) [20:37] *** Greg has joined #BESM [20:38] [In an attempt to win first prize --100 elementary school students-- at the Demon-held Arakus Tournament, MC formed a team consisting of Eoi, Miyu, Norii, Kaira, and Shigeru. Hikaru is there to watch (or possibly replace someone should they die), and Chelsea has been named a judge.] [20:38] [So far, MC's been doing pretty poorly. But fortunately, they won the last round, so they're not TOTALLY doomed yet.] [20:39] ( What? We have to be in second place overall, by my count. ) [20:39] [Now they go back to the locker room to prepare for next event] [20:39] ( Erm? ) [20:39] * Norii bounces in glee as the team returns to the lockers. [20:39] That was GREAT. [20:40] That was AMAZING Kaira. [20:40] ( He didn't say [session start] yet. ^^; ) [20:40] Fantastic! [20:40] ( ... ) [20:40] ( Nope. I'm looking to see what exactly I said last session. ) [20:41] ( Hmm? 3 events so far. We have had 1 team win and 2 individual wins. ) [20:41] ( I believe Juni has gotten all the other wins. ) [20:41] ( What's the status of the other 2 teams, in terms of wins? ) [20:41] ( Ah ) [20:42] ( [21:00] Why yes, first prize is 100 human children, to do ) [20:42] what you please with. [20:42] ( I was not in eer. ) [20:42] ( Or in err. ) [20:42] (Current Team Standings: Juni - 2, Smorfy - 1. Yup.) [20:42] [Session Start] [20:43] ( I guess I'm assuming that team wins score more, but then I don't really know that. ) [20:43] .... great job out there. [20:43] * Shigeru grins at Kaira. "Great job. We'd better do something about that hand, though." [20:43] * Norii gets a healing potion out of the lockers for Kaira. [20:43] ( There's a special prize for the individual who earns the most points. ) [20:43] Here - drink this. [20:43] ( But your main goal is to win the first prize for the team. ) [20:43] * Kaira looks at it quizically. "What's this?" [20:44] Alright... our first team win. [20:44] Alright. We can still do this. [20:44] I just hope there are enough contests left... [20:44] Up to 7. [20:44] And a minimum of 3. [20:44] We've done.. 3. [20:44] Okay. So we have to win the next one. [20:44] This next one could be the last one. Or there may be more after that. [20:44] Well, we know there's another. [20:45] Let's just hope for 7, and try our best. [20:45] [The monitor beeps and starts flashing a message] [20:45] Yeah... [20:45] * Shigeru looks over at the monitor. [20:45] * Miyu looks at the message. [20:45] What is it? And drink the potion, Kaira, it should fix your hand up. [20:45] * Kaira shrugs and quaffs it down. Her hand heals pretty quickly. [20:45] * Hikaru looks up. [20:46] * Eoi looks curiously at the monitor. [20:46] Monitor: Next event: Best "Arakus' Wing" story. [20:46] * Shigeru blinks. "Arakus' Wing?" [20:46] ...huh? [20:46] ... what's Arakus' Wing? [20:47] ... [20:47] * Miyu checks the lockers. [20:47] Monitor: Any number of members may participate. The object is to tell the best story about Arakus' Wing. [20:47] ( Nothing in them, this time. ) [20:47] ............ [20:47] What is Arakus's Wing? [20:47] What's Arakus' Wing? [20:47] * Shigeru rubs his temples. "A storytelling contest?" [20:47] Well, from what I heard, Arakus is the demon this tournament's being held for. I don't know anything about his wing, though. [20:48] I suppose a play or something could tell a story. [20:48] Yeah... [20:48] ... [20:48] * Norii tries to remember anything she might have ever read about Arakus. [20:48] ............... great. How are we supposed to do this? [20:48] * Eoi frowns. [20:48] Arakus... [20:48] * Shigeru looks desperately at the monitor for any more information. [20:48] ... [20:48] Think desert. [20:48] Desert? [20:48] Desert? [20:48] Desert. [20:49] Why desert? [20:49] Don't be cryptic, Eoi, or I'll just look into your head and drag it out. What about the desert? [20:49] Monitor's screen wipes clear: Time - 10 minutes remaining. [20:49] Shit. [20:49] Well, considering his name sounds so much like the name of the planet from the book. ^_^; [20:49] .... [20:49] .... [20:49] * Norii bapples Eoi. [20:49] Ow! [20:49] It looks like we'll have to... improvise. [20:49] Hey, like you've got any other ideas? [20:50] Who's good at improvisational writing? [20:50] (Hey, Shig is *not* me!) [20:50] ( Must.. resist.. urge to point at .. Shiggy.. ) [20:50] (*smacks Eoi*) [20:50] ( Ow! ) [20:50] We'll base it off whatever the other teams say... [20:50] ( Why is everyone hitting me? ((_; ) [20:50] Dammit, what's Arakus? [20:50] What if we are first Miyu? [20:50] * Shigeru paces. "Well, if we don't go first, we can probably find out whatever's up with the wing... yeah." [20:50] Arakus is a demon. [20:50] And why are there stories about its wing? [20:50] ...... then we'll have to make stuff up [20:50] His Wing... [20:51] Could a Wing.. not be what we think? [20:51] COuld it be the name of a sword? [20:51] Or a vehicle? [20:51] Perhaps his "Wing" is his sword. [20:51] ( Dammit Miyu. Out of my mind. ) [20:51] Arakus' Wing...... wing........ hmm... [20:51] * Eoi frowns. [20:51] Well, we'll all probably have to go out there. [20:52] Let's try a round robin type thing. [20:52] Okay. Who here has any storytelling experience whatsoever? [20:52] * Shigeru shakes his head. "That'd just make a bumbling, fragmented story." [20:52] ... Kaira/ [20:52] ... A Wing could be an army. [20:52] Damn. A Wing could be anything. Let's REALLY hope we don't go first. [20:52] This is MC, not Oral History Club. [20:52] * Hikaru scratches his head. "This sucks." [20:53] ... Of course. [20:53] * Kaira shrugs. "I tell a few stories to the kids, but most of those I've read from somewhere else." [20:53] * Eoi looks through the locker. [20:53] Okay, how about this. [20:53] I don't have a clue what they're after. [20:53] I wonder if hey have any books on Arakus in here.. [20:53] I already looked [20:53] We don't even say what the wing is. Just call it his wing. [20:53] There's nothing [20:53] [The lockers are still empty] [20:53] Damn. [20:53] It's supposed to be a story, right? So... [20:53] * Shigeru thinks. [20:54] I guess we can just have whatever happens to it happen to it. [20:54] Hmm. [20:54] Arakus was a demon who was celebrated for defeating another demon... what else do we know about him? [20:54] Well, we could always just tell a story we KNOW, and edit it a bit. [20:54] It shouldn't matter as long as it's a good story, right? [20:55] [It suddenly strikes Miyu that the name of the tournament is "The Arakus Tournament" :P] [20:55] Sure it could. It could be entirely the wrong story. [20:55] "Arakus of the One Wing and the Wing of Doom"? [20:55] I have no idea. Honestly, I'm lost. [20:55] * Miyu already knew that. :P [20:55] * Shigeru shrugs. "Who cares? We don't know if it's right or wrong, and we're not going to find out. So let's just come up with something." [20:55] Works for me. [20:56] Alright, every story's gotta have a conflict. [20:56] [T - 5 minutes] [20:56] So... Arakus was a demon. Demons like... um... pain and suffering and battles, right? [20:56] Gettin tired... [20:56] Man versus man, nature, fate, society, self..... [20:56] Yeah. [20:56] ... Perhaps Arakus lost the wing in a battle.. [20:56] And it was never found.. [20:56] Sorry. I'm gonna have to sleep now. Night. Good luck. [20:56] Don't die while I'm asleep, Eoi. [20:56] And we have to make up a story about it? [20:56] Wai! [20:56] Wait [20:56] *** Kimiko has quit IRC (Quit: ) [20:56] Kimiko, do you know anything? [20:56] .. So there would be no.. correct.. story? [20:57] [Kimiko does not respond :P [20:57] Well, Arakus is the demon this tournament's made for, which is the result of a battle. [20:57] ] [20:57] Argh! We don't know anything! [20:57] Maybe he lost the wing.. in the battle? [20:57] ... how are you gentlemen... all your mortal are belong to us... hm... [20:57] ... [20:57] Yeah! But the question would be how. [20:57] * Eoi resists the urge to smack Miyu. [20:57] Heck, Arakus Wing could just be some demonic version of that old mecha show or something. [20:57] Zero Wing, Arakus Wing... [20:57] ... [20:57] * Shigeru lightly smacks Miyu. "I don't think broken English would work." [20:57] ...it's as good a guess as anything. [20:57] ( You are aware it would have a CORRECT translation in Japan, right Miyu? ) [20:58] ( I know. :P ) [20:58] How are you gentlemen... thanks to the cooperation of the UN, we've captured all of your bases... [20:58] * Shigeru goes back to pacing. "He lost his wing in a battle. Okay. What happens in the battle? [20:58] He.. is fighting a traitor to the demon's cause? [20:58] Did he lose his wing in a battle? [20:58] A demon who likes humans or somethin'. [20:58] Yeah, he fought a traitor. Sorta. [20:59] Not quite [20:59] [Miyu takes 5 damage for making a Zero Wing ref in my good clean RPG] [20:59] He just didn't hate humans enough [20:59] Who cares what *really* happened, Norii! We don't know! For all we know, nothing happened with his wing. [20:59] (............................ ) [20:59] Maybe it's a type of story, like a joke, or a shaggy dog story. [20:59] (*snerk*) [20:59] ( Seriously? x.x ) [20:59] Could be, could be. [20:59] ( There wasn't even any warning not to... -_- ) [20:59] You know, Let's just go out there, hope we are not first... [20:59] Story about. Not story in the style of. [21:00] Okay, if we *are* first, who talks? [21:00] I'm just saying that we shouldn't plan anything, except maybe who is going to try. [21:00] Anyone here good at public speaking? [21:00] * Shigeru snickers. "Not me." [21:00] Otherwise, I'd say we just pick someone. [21:00] I'll do it if ya' want. [21:00] Kaira probably has the most experience in that regard. [21:00] Hmm... [21:01] ... Right... I got it... [21:01] How's this for an opening... [21:01] * Miyu checks the locker for a healing potion or something. [21:01] Or you. In fact, Eoi and Kaira should be the primary storytellers, since you've both got individual wins. [21:01] "Arakus was the greatest of the demon kings. But one day, he fought Fernandez..." [21:01] ... [21:01] * Shigeru snickers. [21:01] He removed the wing of Fernandez and claimed it? [21:01] [Miyu finds nothing, since nobody's hurt] [21:01] And used it as a sword? [21:02] (... Miyu is hurt. ) [21:02] ( ... ) [21:02] * Kaira blinks. "Of course not. Fernandez ate his wing." [21:02] ( ... Are you REALLY that .. OY. ) [21:02] Oh. [21:02] Sounds good! [21:02] Uh. Sure, better then anything we've got. [21:02] ( Well, he didn't respond when I asked if Miyu seriously took damage from making that ref. ) [21:03] Alright... continue story idea, kaira? [21:03] ... That kinds of ends it. [21:03] ... oh. [21:03] * Kaira shrugs. "Actually, that's about it." [21:03] I doubt that would work. Nice idea Karia, but I think we need a longer story. [21:03] YOu could describe the battle some more... [21:04] You'll have to elaborate more, I think. [21:04] Yeah. Go on with the battle for a while, describe Fernandez, um... [21:04] * Shigeru shrugs. [21:04] You remember The Iliad? [21:05] "And then Fernandez let out a mighty roar and said "Drinkth thy castor oil, or I shall layth the smackdown on thou's behind". Something like that. [21:05] * Kaira shakes her head. "This isn't going to work." [21:05] Well, huh. Why don't you tell the story then, Eoi? [21:05] Hmm.... [21:06] Maybe describe his fight with Malachai? [21:06] And I don't know if the demons will understand if you use all those -eths, 'cause I'm having trouble. [21:06] T-2 minutes [21:06] Maybe we could all go and do a round robin thing, because I'm fresh out of ideas. [21:06] I'll try if you want. ^_^; [21:07] I'm doing what I used to do in school if I had trouble writing a paper. [21:07] Opinions of you other guys? [21:07] Make it so confusing the teachers think you know what the hell you are talking about! [21:07] Ok, to be honest, I don't know any real stories. Everything I told the kids came from the Instruction manuals of old video games. [21:07] * Hikaru just shrugs. [21:07] * Shigeru shrugs. "I still don't think a round robin would work. Go for it, Eoi." [21:07] * Eoi gulps. [21:07] We just need to hope we can figure out from another team's story. [21:07] Hmm... [21:07] * Miyu nods. [21:07] It's okay, Kaira. I slept through all my literature classes. [21:07] Well. Uh.. Ok. Let's hope we don't go first. [21:08] I'd say Eoi has as good a chance to bullshit through this as anyone. [21:08] Alrighty. Take a video game plot or something to base this loosely on. [21:08] That way, you know where to take things [21:08] Hmm... [21:09] Maybe you and Kaira could work together or something? [21:09] * Kaira shakes her head. [21:09] .. Hell, I'll give it a shot. [21:09] I can't think of anything. [21:10] Alright. [21:10] [0 minutes remaining. The doors open.] [21:10] * Eoi GULPS and walks on out. [21:10] ... good luck. [21:10] * Shigeru nods, nervousness on his face. ~Good luck, Eoi.~ [21:10] ... you wanna go too, Kaira? [21:10] Just as backup [21:10] I'll do what I can, I guess. [21:10] * Kaira follows Eoi out. [21:11] Lets all go out. [21:11] ... yeah. [21:11] Yeah. It doesn't matter if we don't say anything, right? [21:11] * Miyu goes too. [21:11] We'll all back each other up when we cna't think of anything [21:11] * Shigeru half-smiles. "Go team, go." He steps out. [21:11] Just pantomime the actions [21:11] *walk* *walk* *walk* [21:11] It'll be like interprative theater or whatever. [21:12] Good luck, guys. [21:12] ( Whee! We all go out or something ) [21:13] [Outside, there is one representative from team Juni, the demon you recognize as Marcus. From team Oog are two tentacle demons, and there's 3 members from team Mantis God.] [21:13] * Hikaru follows the group out to watch. [21:13] (Hikaru, I don't think you can.) [21:13] Get back, Hikaru. [21:13] Erk. Okay. [21:13] ... Wish me luck. I'll need it. [21:13] I don't think you're allowed [21:13] ( He can watch from the room :P ) [21:14] * Hikaru returns to the room. [21:14] Eoi, Kaira, Norii, me, then Shigeru. [21:14] Huh? [21:14] In case one person can't think of anything. [21:14] * Shigeru blinks. "What, I'm anchor? Oh hell." [21:15] You know, maybe we should just leave this to Eoi. [21:15] Yeah, but just in case... [21:15] ( Has the reading started yet? ) [21:15] * Miyu is watching the other teams... [21:15] I'll try my best! [21:15] * Forbes stands up. "The event is 'Best Arakus' Wing' story. Teams have 10 minutes maximum to tell their story. The order was decided at random, and first up is Team Mantis God. [21:15] Whew. [21:15] * Eoi listens VERY carefully. [21:16] * Miyu listens CAREFULLY...... [21:16] *** DH-DOOMed is now known as Darkheart [21:16] * Norii listens. Duh. [21:16] * Shigeru glances around nervously, looking up at the judges' table every now and again. [21:17] [The wolf-man with bat wings from before (his name is Althor) walks forwards, while the two behind him crouch down.] [21:18] "Ahem. As you all know, Arakus was the brave warrior who defeated Malachai ages ago. Many stories are told about his fighting prowress, but little tells of his compassion for his army. [21:19] [The crowd boos a bit at hearing "compassion", as the two demons behind Althor walk together and pat each other on the back.] [21:19] [Althor then smiles. "He had none."] [21:20] [One of the demons mock-claws the other, who falls down. The crowd stops booing.] [21:20] *** Darkheart has quit IRC (Quit: "Please, be my daddy." ) [21:21] ( ... ) [21:21] ... nice save.. [21:21] [Althor continues. "Like any great leader, he kept his troops in league by FORCE!" [21:21] ] [21:21] wing must be his soldiers, then [21:21] * Shigeru thinks to Miyu, ~Quiet. Let them finish.~ [21:22] ["And everyone he took under his wing learned this lesson."] [21:22] [Althor gives another sly smile. "Arakus had a big wing."] [21:22] [Althor steps back, and the crowd cheers a bit.] [21:22] ~sorry~ [21:22] ( ... ) [21:23] ... [21:23] .... [21:24] Next, team Juni [21:24] * Shigeru shifts his weight. [21:24] Hmmm. [21:24] that first one told us... not much. [21:24] is the wing a torture device? [21:24] * Miyu listens to Juni's story [21:25] * Norii whispers, "Apparently these are short morality lessons. Demon sunday school stories, as it were. [21:25] [The sole Juni steps forward. "In the First Time, Arakus fought in a great battle, as was his wont. His mighty sword slew a thousand on the fields of Shade Perilous, and when the battle was over he left to return to his home." [21:25] ] [21:25] ( Stupid brackets. ) [21:26] ["As he went to cross the Bridge of Sighs, which lead from Shade Perilous to the Shining Hinterlands, a slight and wiry demon moved to bar his path."] [21:26] * Eoi whispers. "I think it's totally random. None of these guys know either." [21:26] The wing is the uniting theme. Maybe it would work to tell how the shadow of his wing made humans cower in fear. [21:26] Embellish with lots and lots of superlatives. [21:27] Hmm... [21:27] * Shigeru nods shortly at Eoi. [21:27] We can cower convincingly in the background. [21:27] * Miyu waits for rest of the story... [21:27] * Eoi whispers. "Well, I've got an idea.. ^_^;..." [21:28] what idea is that? [21:28] * Shigeru considers, then thinks to the others, ~What is it, Eoi?~ [21:28] ["This was Satakal, a lifelong trickster. Satakal had heard that nobody could make a fool of Arakus, and he thought it amusing. 'Ha!' said he, 'I will go and play a trick on Arakus, and I will be the first to make a fool of him!' So he went to do this."] [21:28] ~ I'm going to mix Karia's idea with one of my own. Kinda. ~ [21:28] ~Okay. Do you need special effects?~ [21:28] ( Dammit, why does team Juni have to be so good at this? ) [21:28] ~ Nah. I.. think I'll be ok. If you can, do it.~ [21:29] (Actually, I thought that line Satakal said sucks. :P) [21:29] ( Heh ) [21:29] (Speaking as an English major. ^_^) [21:29] ( It sounds like Mojo-Jojo! ) [21:29] ( Well, they're doing better than the first guys, I think. ) [21:29] ( "Hah! I shall be the one to trick Arakus, and Arakus shall be tricked by none other then I" ) [21:29] ~What when? I can make people see things. Nothing really big, but...~ [21:29] ( I thought the first one was better. But what do I know? ) [21:30] ~ Well, We'll see when the time comes. ~ [21:30] ["And so it was that they met at the Bridge of Sighs, and Satakal prepared to play his elaborate trick. But before he could use his words to try and fool Arakus, the mighty warrior said 'Out of the way, puny thing,' and reached for his sword, which was slung upon his back."] [21:30] ther'es a fairly big chacne the wing might be the sword.. [21:30] * Shigeru nods. ~Give me a mental cue then, if you need it.~ [21:31] ( Gah. Pause when it comes to my turn a bit? Gotta get some food. Won't take longer than a minute or two ) [21:31] ["Well, Satakal was no good in a fight, so he quickly moved out of the way. As he moved, he said "Great Arakus, could I have a few brief words with you?" Arakus sneered, said "No", and went on his way. At this, an anger grew inside him, for his lovely plan had been thwarted by the fact that Arakus would clearly not stay and talk with him."] [21:33] ["And so, once Arakus' back was to him, he pulled out his dagger, and leaped at Arakus' back without so much as a curse upon his lips. The dagger bit at Arakus, and while it did not bite deep into the mighty warrior's back, it did cut away at the bone of his left wing."] [21:33] (Wordy wordy wordy. Goodness. *grabs a red pen and scribbles on the Juni*) [21:33] ( Blame Yu-Mei. This is entirely his story :D ) [21:34] ( Yu Bastard! ) [21:34] ["The wing was nearly cut off, and hung at an odd angle, so that when Arakus drew his sword from his back, the wing was cut off entirely!"] [21:34] ( How dare you become a traitor and help them! ) [21:34] (Fine! *changes targets and scribbles on Chelsea*) [21:34] ( ;_; ) [21:34] ( Back ) [21:34] ( *is scribbled* ) [21:34] ( Your story is insufficent! ) [21:35] ["Arakus, of course, did not notice, for he was busy inflicting all manner of injury upon poor Satakal. After Satakal was very dead, Arakus sheathed his sword and considered his lost wing."] [21:35] ["He lifted the wing, and tossed it carelessly over the edge of the Bridge, where it went down the river of chaos that flows there."] [21:36] ... the stories seem to conflict. unless something happens to the wing later, we can say whatever we want [21:37] ["It is said that the wing still floats on top of the river today, as a warning to those who would dare to challenge Arakus."] [21:37] * Eoi whispers. "Well, I'll do my best." [21:37] (Phone.) [21:37] ( And that was entirely Yu-Mei's doing except for that last line. So... if Juni wins, blame him :D ) [21:37] [Pause] [21:37] ( I should beat you with a pipe Yu. ((_; ) [21:37] ( Blargh. ) [21:38] (If I were in the judge table, Juni wouldn't win. No offense, Yu. ^_~) [21:38] (Keep going. My reaction time just might be down, due to the phone.) [21:38] (*snickers*) [21:38] *** Mandoric has joined #besm [21:38] *** Mandoric is now known as Mandoric-AtLAN [21:39] ( Yay. Keep going is good! ) [21:39] ( Bah. Like it'd make a difference if I told it? It'd just mean a crappier story'd win :P ) [21:39] [Unpause] [21:39] [The Juni steps back] [21:39] ... good luck, Eoi. [21:39] Make sure it's well told. [21:39] * Forbes speaks. "Next up, Team Oog." [21:39] Tell it well, and make it mean, and we'll be fine. [21:40] * Miyu listens to Oog [21:41] [The tentacle demons step forward, each alternating lines as they narrate.] [21:42] ["One day, many ages after conquering Malachai, Duke Arakus found himself bored."] [21:43] [The other demon speaks. "'I'm bored,' he said. 'I think I'll go to the mortal world to try to find some fun.'"] [21:45] The first one continues. "And so, Arakus did go to the mortal world to search for fun. He first tried a mortal movie theatre. But the movie was..." he gasps. "A comedy!"] [21:45] z.z [21:45] Oh, no. [21:46] * Miyu watches the audeince reactions [21:46] [The second continues. "This won't do. This movie is horrible. I need to find some other way to have fun."] [21:46] * Eoi whispers. "And the second was... A romance! *scream* but the THIRD movie was.. a Horror. And it was just right. [21:46] heh. [21:46] * Shigeru stifles a laugh. [21:46] (*snerk*) [21:47] [First: "So, Arakus went to play a game the mortals call: 'golf'. But soon after learning how pointless it was, he quit."] [21:47] [Second: "Golf is boring. I quit! I shall find some other way to have fun."] [21:47] (Arakus> Wait, wait. I'm supposed to go for a *low* score?) [21:47] First story was short, and vague... second went into great detail about the wing, but seemed to conflict with the first... [21:47] ( heh ) [21:48] ( I know! I'll torture the judges until they declare me the winner! So he did.) [21:48] [Third: "And so Arakus left the golf course, and went to a school, where he met a mortal girl named Yukiko."] [21:48] ( ... ) [21:48] ( @_@ ) [21:48] ( This bodes. Poorly. ) [21:48] [Second: "Ah ha! Now I shall have some fun!"] [21:48] ... he misread it as Arakus' wang, didn't he? [21:49] ( And "third" should be "first". Sorry. ) [21:49] ( Well, they ARE tentacle demons. @_@ ) [21:49] * Eoi whispers. "This .. will not end well." [21:50] [First: "But Yukiko was one of those pesky 'magical girls' that are becoming more and more common. Upon being hit by her pathetic Happy Heart attack, Arakus realized he would not have fun here."] [21:50] * Shigeru shrugs. ~They're tentacle demons.~ He eyes Norii. [21:50] * Norii starts to say something, thinks better of it. [21:50] * Eoi snerks. [21:50] Well, at least we have a reasonable guess that these guys don't know what Arakus' wing is. [21:50] * Shigeru thinks, ~Miyu, haven't you gotten it yet? It doesn't matter.~ [21:50] [Second: "A magical girl! How annoying! I'm fed up with the mortal world! I'm going home!"] [21:51] ~I know. This means that we can say whatever we want in the story now~ [21:51] [First: "And so Arakus returned home, but on the way back, he tripped and cut his wing on a stalagmite."] [21:51] * Eoi whispers. "OK everyone. I think I've got it." [21:51] [The demons step back. The crowd seemed to like the story.] [21:51] * Shigeru grins at Eoi. [21:51] ( Did they like this story more than the one where Arakus beats the snot out of that one guy? [21:52] (Hush Miyu. :P) [21:52] ( Well, we want to know what kind of story they'd like more. :P ) [21:52] * Eoi wishes for luck and gets ready. [21:52] * Hikaru is just STARING at the monitor, back in the room. [21:52] Next, team Smorfy. [21:52] * Eoi steps forward. [21:52] (....... ah, dammit. ) [21:53] * Shigeru thinks to Eoi, ~If you need effects, or any of us to do something, think it at me.~ [21:53] "Once Arakus and an ally were walking through a forest, going to 'visit' a mortal man whole stole money from them." [21:54] (*cracks up* I like this already.) [21:54] "When suddenly Fernandez, the giant demon beast appeared in front of them." [21:54] ( Heh ) [21:55] " "Whatis thou doing in mine forest foolish knaves!" Fernandez shouted. "Out of our way foolish one, for we are MIGHTY! We are on a journey to get the shinys back from the old man!" Arakus's ally shouted!" [21:55] ( ... Dan? @_@ ) [21:55] ........ [21:55] ( No ) [21:55] ( Or Fighter? ) [21:55] ( Black Mage and Fighter ) [21:55] (Hee!) [21:55] (Dan and Fighter merged into one awfully stupid being. ^_^) [21:55] ( Heh ) [21:56] ( I like swords! ) [21:56] " Fernandez looked down on the taunting little man and quickly beat him into the ground. Now Fernandez's full attention was focused on Arakus" [21:56] " Arakus quickly slashes at Fernandez with his sword, which shattered off the beast's awful skin." [21:57] * Miyu closes her eyes, and waits for Shigeru to do anything....... [21:57] ( Agh! Tense changes! ) [21:57] ( Yeah. x.x ) [21:57] * Shigeru flexes his fingers. [21:57] (Aieee!) [21:57] "Arakus looked around for another weapon.. then seeing nothing, pulled one of his wings off of his back. With a mighty throw and a cry of "WINGDOKEN!" Arakus threw his wing at the beast. The wing cut Fernandez in half and returned to Arakus like a boomerang!" [21:57] ( Down, Ard. ) [21:58] (;_;) [21:58] ( It's Eoi. He's not exactly a master of storytelling. ) [21:58] (Wingdoken!) [21:58] ( [...] ) [21:58] (Resist the temptation, Ard. You can do it!) [21:58] (Do I have to?) [21:58] ( Do you WANT to? ) [21:58] (No. I like wingdoken waaaay too much. ^_^) [21:59] (Both valid questions.) [21:59] ( Heh. Wingdoken! ) [21:59] "Then Arakus continued on alone and reached the house of the mortal man. Arakus broke in his door and told the man "I have come for my money. Give it to me.". The old mortal cowered in fear. "Oh mighty Arakus, I don't have your money. I beg of you, let me live!" " [22:00] "Arakus pondered this... and said "Ok. I shall let you live..." The old man cried with joy. "Oh thank you Thank.." Arakus butted in. "Instead, you shall spent eternity being tortured by one of my servants.". Saying that, Arakus beat the man cold and dragged him back to the demon world. The end!" [22:00] * Eoi steps back. [22:01] * Shigeru bites his lip and looks up at the judging table. ~That was... interesting.~ [22:01] * Miyu checks audience reaction [22:01] * Eoi rubs the back of his head. "Uh.. how did I do?" [22:01] * Norii doesn't know what to say. [22:01] Sorry. I tried. ^_^; [22:01] [There's some applause. Whether it's intended or obligatory, you can't tell.] [22:01] ... [22:01] * Forbes stands. "The judges shall now convene. [22:02] * Forbes sits back down and speaks with Chelsea and Julian. [22:02] ... I hope we win.... [22:02] Nah. My story sucked. I'm sorry. [22:02] You did okay. [22:02] * Shigeru shrugs. "You did better than I would've." [22:03] I tried! I really did. It had everything! Except for Kirby. I should have figured out a way to stick Kirby in there.. [22:03] The wing boomerange was a nice idea... [22:03] ( -e) [22:03] Yeah, everything needs more Kirby. [22:03] I agree. [22:04] But you really did hit both sides of it. The wing, the morality play, the narrative ambiguity... [22:04] Yeah... [22:05] Hmm... [22:06] This is the... 4th contest? [22:06] * Shigeru nods. [22:06] We have a maximum of 3 more to go, then... [22:06] At least one more. There's always a fighting contest. [22:06] I know. [22:06] * Shigeru continues staring up at the judges' table. [22:07] [The judges seem to be conversing intently.] [22:07] * Eoi prays. [22:07] ( Eoi gets assaulted by 159 demons for doing that. ) [22:07] ( Ouchies. ) [22:08] * Miyu looks back over her shoulder at Hikaru [22:11] * Hikaru waits. [22:13] [Both judges look like they're waiting to hear from Chelsea.] [22:13] ( Did Yu go idle without saying anything again? ) [22:13] ( Don't think so. Probably just thinking. ) [22:15] * Forbes stands up. "The winner of the "Best Arakus' Wing" story is... Team Smorfy." [22:15] * Shigeru blinks. [22:15] * Shigeru blinks again. [22:15] ......... woah. [22:15] * Hikaru nearly falls over in amazment. [22:15] The Overall Individual winner is Marcus. [22:15] There will be a ten minute break before the next event. [22:15] Whew. [22:16] * Miyu heads back in [22:16] * Shigeru breaths out a long sigh, then walks back to the preperation room. [22:16] * Kaira heads back to the room, unemotionally. [22:17] So, we're tied with Juni now? [22:17] * Eoi poses! [22:17] Seems like it. [22:17] I won! Wai! [22:17] ... We won. I mean my STORY won! [22:17] Hey, Hikaru. [22:17] * Eoi smiles proudly. [22:17] * Shigeru snickers. "However. We got a win." [22:17] We're TIED! Go team! [22:17] ... [22:17] You sure did. None of the rest of us actually did anything. [22:17] ...yes, Miyu? [22:17] * Kaira grumbles. [22:17] * Eoi heads back to the prep room. [22:17] Well, I guess it struck a chord. [22:17] Just saying hi. [22:17] ... what's wrong, Kaira? [22:17] The monitor blinks on. [22:18] Oh. [22:18] I have no idea how I won.. Anyway! [22:18] * Eoi looks at the monitor. [22:18] I felt stupid, standing out there doing nothing. [22:18] Probably for originality. [22:18] I guess demons like fighting games. [22:18] * Miyu looks at it [22:18] ( it'll be interesting to read the judging log. ) [22:18] Monitor: The next event is "King of Demons"! [22:18] Oh, now you know how *I* felt during the beauty thing. [22:18] * Miyu blinks. [22:18] Yeah, it was a mistake for all of us to go out there. [22:18] Yeah... [22:18] ... King o.. The fighting. [22:18] Well, we thought that Eoi might not have been able to handle it on his own [22:19] ...King of Demons? What's that mean? [22:19] * Eoi gulps. [22:19] It's the Fighting Tourny. [22:19] Monitor: Four members are required to participate in a single elimination match. [22:19] Like King of Fighters. [22:19] ........... [22:19] Wait. We're supposed to send out four people? [22:19] ... Four memebers. [22:19] Uhoh. [22:19] Ok. Me, Kaira, Norii and... [22:19] Uh, huh. Not Shiggy. [22:19] Miyu. [22:19] Monitor: Before combat, each team will put its members in a specific order. [22:19] That's me, then? [22:20] Ah [22:20] ...... *blink* [22:20] ... Specific order.. [22:20] ... Ok... [22:20] Monitor: Three members shall fight, and the last shall be the striker. [22:20] Phew. [22:20] * Eoi HOW did I know this! [22:20] ( even. ) [22:20] "Striker"? [22:20] ... It's like King of Fighters. [22:20] ( *snicker* ) [22:20] What's a striker? [22:20] You know. We tag, and one person can come in and do an attack. [22:21] Monitor: The striker can, at any time, run out and make one attack, or heal the teammate once. But can only do this three times in the tournament." [22:21] No, I don't know. [22:21] Hmm... [22:21] * Miyu reads further. [22:21] Hmm. [22:21] ( It's exactly like KoF ^__^_v ) [22:21] What an odd way to fight. [22:21] The striker is going to be either Miyu or I. [22:21] Alright. I think the fighters should be Me, Kaira and Norii. In that order. The Striker should be.. [22:21] Miyu. [22:21] * Miyu nods. [22:22] Miyu's healing abilitys would be more handy then anything else. [22:22] that sound good to everyone? [22:22] And blinding. [22:22] * Shigeru pushes his glasses up his nose. "Sorry I can't help, guys." [22:22] Monitor: Battles last until one fighter yields or is knocked out. Casualties are not allowed intentionally. [22:22] If that's allowable. [22:22] Don't worry about it Shig. [22:22] *** RDMgryphon has joined #besm [22:22] ... OK everyone. This may very well be the last round. [22:22] So we HAVE to win. [22:22] Why me last... oh, okay. [22:22] ... yeah... [22:22] *nod* [22:22] Time = 10 minutes [22:22] ( ... ) [22:23] Monitor said that. [22:23] Kaira? Any preference over order, or taking Striker position? [22:23] * Eoi looks through the lockers for anything that might help. [22:23] I think Kaira should be a fighter Miyu. [22:23] Nothing personal, but she's better then you. [22:23] Alright. [22:23] * Kaira shrugs. "Not really." [22:23] In regards to preference. [22:23] Alright... what order do we do this in? [22:24] I think it should be... [22:24] [Eoi finds a few weapons: especially low quality, and useless compared to what you have already.] [22:24] Me or Karia first, the other second, Norii third. [22:24] Any reason for that order? [22:25] * Kaira frowns at Norii. "She doesn't look particularly tough." [22:25] Exactly. [22:25] ... Nothing personal. [22:25] I'm probably the least effective, though I do pack a punch. [22:25] I think that I and Kaira can take a bit more damage then Norii. [22:25] * Miyu nods... [22:25] If we can do enough damage while we fight, Norii can come in and mop up. [22:25] Alright. How is calling in the Striker handled? [22:25] I could probably finish a fight well, if they get a "lead" as it were. [22:25] Exactly. [22:26] If this is like King of Fighters, we may be able to switch at any time. [22:26] Step in, and *blam*. [22:26] ( erk. or is that something else. ) [22:26] Oh, and... [22:26] ( I need to play more King of Fighters.. ) [22:26] ( Yes, you do. ) [22:26] * Norii changes clips. [22:26] ... how much time is the striker allowed to perform an action? [22:26] I can't heal very fast at all [22:26] Three. [22:26] ( KoF is fight until KO. You're lucky I'm letting you leave. :P ) [22:26] How much, not how many [22:26] Donno. [22:26] One attack, they said. [22:26] I don't know... But you can only do 3 things. [22:26] We'll find out in there. [22:27] Your healing.. or .. [22:27] Hey. I wonder.. Can you put your force-field over us as an action? [22:27] So if you stay out there trying to heal, you might get attacked. [22:27] That would be REALLY handy. [22:27] It would take several minutes for me to do healing of any usefulness. [22:27] Hmm... [22:27] Well, we'll have to see Miyu. Try your field first. [22:28] [Order is Eoi, Kaira, Norii?] [22:28] * Miyu looks out the window to see the size of whatever the arena's size is [22:28] ( Yeah. ) [22:28] [Fairly large] [22:28] (.......... damn. I type poorly when I'm not feeling well ) [22:28] ( Is it small enough that I could maintain the field? ) [22:29] ( Yes. ) [22:29] ( I think Brett knows more about the size of the arena than you do. ^^; ) [22:29] ( Yes, but the problem is your field is extendable. You might wind up shielding the demon, too :P ) [22:30] ( I was talking about the order of battle Miyu. ) [22:30] ( Oh ) [22:30] [Time = 0 minutes] [22:30] ... it's a bit risky... [22:30] [Doors open] [22:30] .... alright. [22:30] ... let's go. [22:31] Good luck, guys. Don't get killed. [22:31] * Kaira walks into the arena. [22:31] Yeah, good luck. [22:31] JUst make sure that there's nothing between you and me out there. [22:31] * Miyu walks... [22:31] Here goes nothing. [22:31] * Eoi walks out. [22:32] Just yell out what kind of thing you want. [22:32] I can't heal, though [22:32] * Norii heads out, armed and ready. [22:32] Shield, blast, drain, or blind [22:32] I think we'll probably want you to just blast, mostly. [22:33] * Forbes stands. "This event is the King of Demons. The objective is to defeat the opponent's 3 teammates, who are considered defeated upon yielding or becoming unable to fight. You may not *intentionally* kill anyone." [22:33] And be sure to take out those tentacle monsters before Norii's turn. I'm not sure if she can fight them as well. [22:34] Hmm? [22:34] * Norii bapples Miyu. [22:34] Just remember that those kids are riding on this... [22:34] ... we'll also have to figure out a backup plan. [22:34] I can shoot them just as well as anything. Although... [22:34] Strikers can be used no more than 3 times per team fought. For any continual effects, the striker must stay in the boundries, thus being subject to attack. [22:35] Finally, flight is not allowed. [22:35] ... just pick which of the 4 actions you want me to take wisely. [22:36] Got it. [22:36] ( 3 actions. ) [22:37] ( I meant of the 4 actions that are feasible for Miyu ) [22:37] ( Drainpunch, shield, blast, or blind ) [22:37] First match: Team Smorfy vs. Team Oog. [22:37] ( ... ) [22:37] * Forbes says that. [22:37] Here we go. [22:37] * Eoi hops into the Arena. [22:37] ( Oh, three times per team, not total. Better. ) [22:38] [Eoi is confronted by a ball of tentacles.] [22:38] (I said it before, and I'll say it again. Eew.) [22:39] ( Roll init. Strikers have auto-init and can attack when they want. ) [22:39] ( *nod* ) [22:39] ( Blame Yu. He picked it :P ) [22:39] * Miyu stays on the sidelines, but moves around along the border so she gets a clear shot at shielding or attacking or whatever. [22:39] d6+7 [22:39] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Eoi (d6+7) and gets 13. [22:39] *** Calli has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) [22:40] This is.. err. Unpleasent. [22:40] [Eoi's turn] [22:41] Go go Eoi! [22:41] * Eoi rushes forward, stabbing at the ball of phallic thingys. [22:41] 2d6-6 [22:41] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Eoi (2d6-6) and gets 0. [22:41] Gambare, Eoi! [22:41] ( Is Brett rolling? ) [22:41] ( Yeah ) [22:41] ( I do the rolls now, remember? ) [22:41] ( Except Init; that's complicated @_@ ) [22:42] [Eoi's slash connects mightily, causing a high-pitches shriek and some black fluid to emit from the tentacles.] [22:42] Great job! [22:42] Wooooo~ [22:42] ! [22:42] [The demon retaliates by trying to grab Eoi. [22:43] Waaa!} [22:43] ( Uh.. what do I use for this? ) [22:43] ( Unarmed (Wrestling), I suppoes ) [22:43] ( ... ) [22:43] ( Say. Does calling out Miyu count as a combat action, or can he act in the same turn as calling me? ) [22:43] ( Well, I'm fucking screwed. ) [22:43] ( When you like. ) [22:43] [The demon succeeds in grabbing hold of Eoi!] [22:44] Waa! [22:44] Lemme go you stupid ball of... [22:44] * Hikaru watches. "Ugh. That's just...gross." [22:44] ... Phallic Tentacles. [22:44] ( And Eoi is in female form, yet :P ) [22:44] [Eoi's turn] [22:44] ... Miyu BLAST THIS THING! [22:45] * Miyu steps in and fires a blast of energy. [22:45] Radiant... SILVERGUN! [22:45] * Miyu makes a total attack. [22:45] Try to get free~ [22:45] 2d6-3 [22:45] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Miyu (2d6-3) and gets 3. [22:45] ! [22:45] ( Oi, Miyu. I do all the rolls. ) [22:45] ( Oh. ^^; ) [22:45] ( Right ) [22:45] ( Total attack, so a -1 bonus ) [22:45] * Miyu steps back outside [22:46] [Miyu's blast slams into the demon, causing it to sizzle, but it's not out just yet.] [22:46] ( Still my turn? ) [22:46] [Demon's turn] [22:46] ( .. so it IS a combat turn. Dammit ) [22:46] ( Thought it was still Eoi's turn? ) [22:46] ( If you're planning to do something. ) [22:46] * Eoi tries to break out of the grip. [22:47] [Eoi somehow manages to get herself even more tangled up.] [22:48] ... [22:48] ( .............. ) [22:48] ( I'm screwed. ) [22:48] ( Guess what I rolled ^^ ) [22:48] * Hikaru covers his eyes. "I can't watch." [22:48] * Shigeru winces, but keeps watching. "C'mon, Eoi." [22:48] [Demon's turn] [22:48] *** Greg has quit IRC (Quit: SWScript v3.0 has arrived. The Force is strong with this one... http://www.outer-rim.net/swscript/ ) [22:49] ( Well, I'm going to lose. Again. Because there is no fucking way in hell I can get out of this hold. ) [22:49] ( Ah well. ) [22:49] [The demon's tentacles tighten, and begin crushing him] [22:49] Gr.. [22:49] ( Huh? It's hurt bad. Just try. ) [22:49] ( So you can't swing the weapon? ) [22:49] ( Not with a +4 pent. ) [22:49] *eyes still covered* Please tell me it's not doing anything perverted. [22:49] ( It's a +2 to everything with JUST hands, and +4 to everything involving weapons or similar. ) [22:49] [Eoi's turn] [22:49] It's not. Just squeezing the life out of him. [22:49] ( God damned Tenacles. ) [22:50] * Eoi tries his best to stab the demon [22:50] * Hikaru peeks out, then takes his hands away. "C'mon, Eoi..." [22:50] [Eoi fails to swing his weapon properly.] [22:50] ( Obviously. ) [22:50] [Demon's turn] [22:51] [The demon goes crushy crushy with Eoi.] [22:51] [Eoi's turn] [22:51] * Shigeru shakes his head. "I hope he yields when he needs to. Or Miyu steps in. Or *something*." [22:51] * Eoi tries to stab the damn fucking demon again. [22:51] * Hikaru nods. [22:52] ( Please don't say 'fucking demon' when there's tentacles around... @_@ ) [22:52] [Eoi actually manages to hit, and the demon goes down] [22:52] ... [22:52] Yeah! [22:52] Whew... [22:52] * Eoi twirls his Naginata! [22:52] * Shigeru smiles with relief. "Thank God." [22:52] Eoi? How badly hurt do you feel? [22:52] [The demon's body vanishes as soon as it stops moving.] [22:52] Round two. [22:52] Uh. I'm ok. [22:52] * Eoi gulps. [22:53] I'll fight on! OOSHA! [22:53] Alright. Try to be a bit more cautious [22:53] That's a bit hard around tentacle demon's Miyu. [22:53] [Another tentacle demon hops in. This one is a bulging sphere, with tentacles and mouthes.] [22:53] ... Well, this is pleasent. And again with the tentacles. [22:54] [Eoi's turn] [22:54] ( Well, duh! ) [22:54] * Eoi pulls out a spirit ward and tries to stick it on the jerk. [22:54] ( The entire team is tentacle demons. ) [22:54] [Eoi succeeds.] [22:54] [Demon's turn] [22:54] ( Oh PLEASE let it actually do something. ) [22:54] (Well, we're pretty sure it's a demon... :P) [22:55] [The Demon spends it's turn removing the ward.] [22:55] ( Oooh. Ofuda REALLY aren't gonna make you any friends here. ^_^ ) [22:55] ( Like winning _is_? ) [22:55] ( They can bite me. Literally. ) [22:55] [Meanwhile, Oog's striker runs out, striking at Eoi with an electric tentacle] [22:55] Hit it again! Hit it again! Harder! Harder! [22:55] (We're mortal. We don't have no friends. ;P) [22:55] ( SHIT! ) [22:55] ( YEah, unless you have more than one guy who can strike. ^^; ) [22:55] ( Gah ) [22:56] * Eoi obviously tries to defend. [22:56] [The attack succeeds, and Eoi is nice and toasty afterwards.] [22:56] ( I kinda gathered that :P ) [22:56] Eoi! [22:56] Miyu! While it's distracted! Get it! [22:56] ... Ow. [22:56] [Eoi's turn] [22:56] Miyu, Blast the mother! [22:56] HAI! [22:56] * Miyu steps in, and does another total attack blast [22:56] *** Greg has joined #BESM [22:57] * Eoi rushes at the demon and strikes right after Miyu blasts. [22:58] [Miyu succeeds in blasting the opponent, but he manages to ward off Eoi's attack] [22:58] [Demon's turn] [22:58] [The demon tries to grab Eoi!] [22:58] Not again... [22:58] Oh no.. [22:58] [And it succeeds!] [22:58] Aww no. [22:58] ( Obviously. ) [22:58] Well, can you think of anything else they can do? [22:58] [Eoi's turn] [22:58] ... [22:58] ( Bah. You've got a good chance of avoiding it :P ) [22:59] Attack it! Don't hold back! [22:59] * Eoi tries his very best to stab it. [22:59] ( How? I've got NO defense against it, it gets a Pent to Hit... ) [22:59] [Eoi fails to hit the thing.] [22:59] ( Don't you have any Unarmed Defense? ) [22:59] ( Nope. ) [22:59] ( I have Meele defense. ) [22:59] [While Eoi is held, the electric tentacle rushes out and strikes at him] [22:59] ( ... ) [23:00] ( ((_- ) [23:00] ( By "don't hold back", Miyu meant to use a total attack ) [23:00] [Eoi is unable to move out of the way, being held and all, and is struck fully with the electric goodness.] [23:00] WAAAAAAAAAA. [23:01] * Eoi growls. [23:01] [Demon's turn] [23:01] Dammit.... [23:01] Wow, he's tough. [23:01] ( How badly hurt does Eoi look? ) [23:01] Eoi isn't down?!? [23:01] He is. I just hope he doesn't get killed doing this. [23:02] I hope he knows when to surrender.... [23:02] [The Demon takes a bite out of Eoi's shoulder, causing him to lose consciousness.] [23:02] C'mon, Eoi... [23:02] ..... [23:02] Dammit. [23:02] [Eoi's body teleports into the locker room as soon as it stops moving.] [23:02] Round 3. [23:02] ( ... ) [23:02] Kaira. YOu're up. [23:02] * Hikaru rushes over to Eoi and checks to see if he's okay. [23:02] C'mon, Kaira! [23:02] * Kaira steps into the ring (god I have too many NPCs) [23:02] Hikaru, patch him up or something... [23:02] * Shigeru checks Eoi's pulse. [23:03] ( It's not like Julian ever says anything. :P ) [23:03] ...there were healing potions in here... [23:03] [Eoi lives, and there's healing stuff in the lockers. [23:03] ] [23:03] * Hikaru checks the lockers. [23:03] Check the lockers! [23:03] ( Not on this channel, no. ) [23:03] [Kaira's turn] [23:03] ( Oh. ^^; ) [23:03] * Shigeru rolls his eyes. "Why does Miyu feel the need to dictate orders to us from the *arena*?" [23:03] I've got one action left... [23:03] Because I"m concerned for my friend... [23:03] * Hikaru shrugs, and continues searching. [23:04] ( And how does she hear? O.o ) [23:04] ( Miyu shouldn't be able to hear that. :P ) [23:04] ( How did Shige-.......... oh yeah. -_- ) [23:04] ( He's not out here. ^^; ) [23:04] * Kaira fires a Blackwinged Encirclement at the demon, making it stop moving.] [23:04] ( I thought that since he could hear Hikaru, Miyu could also ) [23:04] (We can hear you from the monitors. You're yelling, and you're being taped. ^^) [23:04] Must have good mic's there, if they can pick that up. [23:04] ..... one hit.... [23:04] Round 4! [23:04] ( Never mind what I said or something ) [23:05] * Shigeru blinks at the monitor. "Damn, Kaira knows her stuff." [23:05] Find any potions, Hikaru? [23:05] ( It was pretty weak already :p ) [23:05] * Hikaru looks. "Wow, fast." [23:05] Not yet. [23:05] ( True ) [23:05] [Demon's turn] [23:05] * Hikaru looks some more. [23:05] * Norii claps and jumps up and down. [23:05] [The ball of tentacles (They're always the same, eh?) makes a grab at Kaira.] [23:05] [And he succeeds.] [23:05] ( Sorry about the delayed reaction, I was cranking my Twin Peaks soundtrack. ) [23:05] Drain him! [23:06] [Kaira's turn] [23:06] * Kaira struggles frantically, to no avail. [23:06] [Demon's turn] [23:06] This is the last one. Go ahead and hit it, Miyu. [23:06] Dammit... [23:06] No reason to save up. [23:07] Alright. [23:07] * Miyu fires a shot. (Total Attack) [23:07] * Hikaru grabs a healing potion and administers it to Eoi. [23:07] [The Demon pulls Kaira closer, to a spike sticking out of its head.] [23:07] Oh shit. [23:07] ...... I was saving that for when you were going to go in, Norii... [23:07] [Miyu's attack is blocked by the electric demon] [23:07] * Norii checks to make sure she has the right clip in. [23:07] Dammit! [23:08] [Kaira's turn] [23:08] Yeah, but that was it's last action, too. [23:08] ... yeah... [23:08] * Kaira screams frantically. "I-I yield!" [23:08] Shit. [23:08] ...damn. [23:08] [Kaira is teleported to the locker room as soon as she says that.] [23:08] ... Norii. You're up. [23:08] * Shigeru hisses through his teeth. [23:08] Round five. [23:09] There's potions in the lockers if you need 'em, Kaira. [23:09] You alright, Kaira? [23:09] ... try to keep a good distance away from it. [23:09] * Kaira is clutching herself, sobbing. [23:09] ( Oy? Am I healed yet? ) [23:09] * Shigeru blinks. [23:09] ( roll init, Norii. ) [23:09] ...guess not. [23:09] ( Yeah, but not awake. ) [23:09] d6+7 [23:09] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Norii (d6+7) and gets 11. [23:09] * Shigeru shakes Kaira by the shoulder. "Hey. Hey, it's over." [23:10] * Kaira buries her face in her hands. "I-I couldn't... I'm sorry." [23:10] [Norii's turn] [23:10] * Norii steps into the fing and takes aim. "Eat blessed lead, monster!" *BLAM* [23:10] It's all right. Norii'll win this for us. [23:10] I can't blame you...those things are damn unnerving. [23:10] * Hikaru watches on the monitor. [23:10] [Norii's bullet slams into the demon] [23:11] [Demon's turn] [23:11] [The demon tries to grab Norii.] [23:11] * Norii tries to dodge. [23:11] [Norii, against all odds, succeeds] [23:11] [Norii's turn] [23:11] ( Woah ) [23:11] Yeah! [23:11] ( Yay unarmed defense! ) [23:12] * Norii points and shoots. [23:12] * Shigeru finds a box of tissues in the bathroom and walks back, handing it to Kaira. [23:12] [Norii blasts it again.] [23:12] [Demon's turn] [23:12] [The demon continues to try to grab her.] [23:12] Go, Norii... [23:12] * Kaira takes them. [23:12] C'mon... [23:13] [This time it gets her] [23:13] [Norii's turn] [23:13] Shit! [23:13] Norii! [23:13] Dammit! [23:13] * Norii tries to twist and aim the gun at the monster. (Total attack.) [23:14] [Norii puts a third bullet in it] [23:14] [Demon's turn] [23:14] ( ... Well shit. ) [23:14] It's still not down? [23:14] They put their toughest last, looks like. [23:14] Geez...... [23:14] * Shigeru stares at the screen. [23:14] (Geez, won't this thing go down? Even to blessed ammo? [23:14] Yeah... [23:14] [The demon responds by slamming Norii into the floor.] [23:15] [And it succeeds] [23:15] [Norii's turn] [23:15] * Shigeru grimaces. [23:15] ( Does that mean it let go? ) [23:15] ( Nope ) [23:15] Arrrgh! [23:16] Just one... more... time! [23:16] * Norii shoots (total attack) [23:16] [Norii's final attack connects, causing the demon to fall to the ground with a squelch] [23:16] ( WOOO! ) [23:17] [The body vanishes as soon as it stops moving.] [23:17] * Miyu breathes a sigh of relief. [23:17] * Norii sits up. [23:17] YEAH! [23:17] ( Can I wake up now? ) [23:17] Great job, Norii... [23:17] Whoo. [23:17] Yes! [23:17] ( Yeah ) [23:17] The winner, Team Smorfy. [23:17] * Eoi sits up and shakes his head.. [23:17] That was tense... [23:17] Oy.. wh.. Hey, we won? [23:17] That we did. [23:17] Why do all the cute ones have to try to hurt us? [23:17] Cool! [23:17] * Shigeru looks over at Kaira. "Are you feeling better?" [23:17] They are granted time to recover whilst teams Mantis God and Juni battle. [23:17] * Miyu bows to the audience and waves and stuff [23:17] ( I'm healed, right? ) [23:18] * Norii stumbles out of the ring and back to the lockers. [23:18] * Kaira nods. "I'm... sorry... I could do anything." [23:18] Whew. [23:18] * Miyu goes back into the room. [23:18] ( Yes ) [23:18] * Miyu gets an energy potion or whatever [23:18] Now you're sounding like me. You did fine, Kaira. [23:18] Great job, Norii! [23:18] We better watch the fight, so we know what we're up against [23:18] * Eoi gives Norii a pat on the back as soon as she comes in! "AWESOME job!" [23:18] Ow! [23:18] Sorry! ... Those things hurt, don't they? [23:18] * Hikaru goes and grabs a healing potion for Norii. [23:18] * Norii looks for some healing potion. [23:19] Here. [23:19] * Shigeru grins at Norii. "Good job." [23:19] *glug* *glug* *glug* [23:19] Sorry I wasn't of more help. [23:19] You did fine, Eoi. [23:19] Hey, you took one down. [23:19] Stop apologizing. You all did your jobs. [23:19] * Shigeru looks up at the monitor. [23:20] * Norii looks to see how this round is going. [23:20] Hmm... hopefully, Juni will lose. [23:20] * Eoi watches the monitor. [23:20] Go Mantis God! [23:20] *** Demotafk has joined #BESM [23:21] *** Miyu has quit IRC (SVSKilled: GHOST command used by Demotafk ) [23:21] *** Demotafk is now known as Miyu [23:21] (Do we get to see any of the other match at all?) [23:21] ( I'd like to see a summary, but I hope we don't have to watch blow-for-blow. ) [23:21] I wish we could change the order of the fighters... [23:21] ( No, because I'm pressed for time. :P ) [23:22] ( Lot to do in this session, wot wot. ) [23:22] (*snicker*) [23:22] I think the order is pretty good Miyu. [23:22] It worked, didn't it? [23:22] They didn't say we couldn't. [23:22] [Hikaru sees Mantis God beat Juni. They're given time to recover, then they and Smorfy are called to the arena to fight.] [23:23] So even if we lose, we're still tied. [23:23] I don't see a problem with the order. [23:23] Yes! Win this, and then hope the tournament's over. [23:23] Alright... we're all healed? [23:23] Ready as I'll ever be. [23:23] It depends how it's scored. [23:23] Let's go everyone! [23:23] * Miyu goes out there. [23:23] * Kaira nods. [23:23] * Eoi walks out to the arena. [23:23] * Kaira heads out. [23:23] Go for it. [23:24] * Shigeru grabs a couple healing potions from one of the lockers and hands one to Hikaru. "Better be ready to play nurse," he says with a snicker. [23:24] Team Mantis God vs. Team Smorfy, round 1. [23:24] * Eoi hops into the ring. [23:24] Wish me luck guys. I'm gonna need it. [23:24] * Miyu gets ready....... [23:24] Eheh. [23:24] [A Gorilla with a mouse's head and a raccoon's tail enters the ring.] [23:24] ... [23:24] * Shigeru blinks. [23:24] Okay. That's just... odd. [23:24] The Frick? [23:25] ( Roll init ) [23:25] d6+7 [23:25] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Eoi (d6+7) and gets 9. [23:25] ( ... Oh man. ) [23:25] O_o [23:25] [Eoi's turn] [23:25] ( ((_@ ) [23:25] * Eoi rushes forward and tries to stab the head. [23:25] Oi! Eoi, be careful. [23:25] [The mouse-gorilla thing hops to the side] [23:25] ( Geez. Did he forget that quickly about the no intentional killings? ) [23:26] ( ... ) [23:26] [Opponent's turn] [23:26] ( I'm not trying to kill the thing. I'm aiming for what looks like a weak point. ) [23:26] This thing looks really tough... [23:26] YEah... [23:26] [The mouse-thing tries to literally pound Eoi into the ground] [23:27] Eoi's really better with guys that have weapons..... [23:27] ( Stop responding to what we say in the locker room! ) [23:27] * Shigeru nods. "Well, they're all demons." [23:27] (Yeah!) [23:27] * Eoi obviously attempts to dodge. Do I really need to say this? [23:27] ( Whoops. x.x ) [23:28] [The it slams her on the head, pushing her into the gground half-way up her calves.] [23:28] [Eoi's turn] [23:28] ( ... ) [23:28] Eoi! [23:28] ( Ok, I need to check something. I though unarmed defense and meele defense both counted up close. ) [23:28] * Hikaru boggles. [23:28] ( They don't. ) [23:28] Okay. That hurt. [23:28] ( Oh, they half the cast of my games are dead three times over. ) [23:29] ( At least, not the way Brett's running it ) [23:29] ( I'll have to remember that. ((_- ) [23:29] * Eoi slashes at the thing. [23:29] ( I would think they would, though certainly they wouldn't add. ) [23:29] ( I'd generally run unarmed and melee as the same, with possibly a penalty ) [23:29] ( I mean, you could reasonably block a punch with a sword ) [23:29] ( I run it that up-close, unless grabs, Unarmed and Meele count the same. Ranged is ranged. ) [23:29] (Depends on what you're defending with, I believe.) [23:30] ( Ah. ) [23:30] [Eoi succeeds in slashing the thing across the chest] [23:30] Miyu! Blast it! [23:30] C'mon, Eoi... [23:30] HAI! [23:30] * Miyu steps in, and fires [23:30] Good call. [23:30] ( Total, as usual ) [23:30] [Miyu's attack hits] [23:30] * Shigeru nods, keeping his eyes glued to the screen. [23:30] [Demon's turn] [23:30] Excellent... [23:30] ... Oh no. [23:31] If it tries to pound you, stick your weapon straight up! [23:31] * Hikaru winces in sympathetic expectation. [23:31] [The Demon tries to do the exact same thing, and...] [23:31] ( Beleive me, if I could I would. ((_; ) [23:31] ( ;_; ) [23:31] [... Hits Eoi again, pushing her in up to her waist.] [23:31] Ow. [23:32] ... [23:32] Gah. [23:32] This is really quite painful. [23:32] Eoi!. [23:32] I really hope that's soft ground. @_@ [23:32] Yeah... [23:32] [Eoi's turn. He's also rather stuck now] [23:32] ( ... *sigh* ) [23:32] * Eoi stabs at the thing. [23:32] * Shigeru shakes his head. "I've never realized how tough he really is before now." [23:33] Yeah... [23:33] [Eoi hits the thing in its gut, but it keeps coming.] [23:33] (Miyu, we're talking in the locker room. ;P) [23:33] [Demon's turn] [23:33] Crud... [23:33] ( *bapbapbap on Miyu* ) [23:33] * Eoi gulps. [23:33] ( OGah. @_@ ) [23:33] [The Demon aims for Eoi again.] [23:33] (Stick the naginata straight up! ;P) [23:33] ( I'll try to remember it. @_@ ) [23:33] (Heck, it's worth a shot.) [23:33] * Eoi sticks the Naginata straight up. [23:33] ( Yeah. :P ) [23:33] [Eoi gets burried up to his head] [23:34] .... [23:34] ...... [23:34] ... [23:34] This.. really quite hurts. [23:34] ... [23:34] Yield, Eoi. [23:34] Ther'es nothing more that can be done. [23:34] [Eoi's turn, but he's stuck.] [23:34] Yick. [23:34] No way. Miyu, Blast the mother! [23:34] .... [23:34] * Miyu does same as always [23:34] Yeah, that's the best idea. [23:35] If Miyu can put it down and Eoi get out... [23:35] [Miyu's blast hits the cute lil' thing, and he falls over and vanishes.] [23:35] Round 2. [23:35] ( Please say I can get out of the hole. ) [23:35] Will they let Eoi get back up? [23:35] * Eoi tries to get out of the hole. [23:35] ( "lil'"!!! ) [23:35] ( cute? ) [23:35] [A spider with a Snake's upper body comes out.] [23:35] Two opponents left, two fighters left, one attack from Miyu...damn. [23:36] ( Eoi cannot move anything below his head, as he's stuck in the ground. ) [23:36] They've got all three strikes left. [23:36] ( ... ) [23:36] Damnit, Eoi, yield! [23:36] ( Yeah ) [23:36] ( This is why I wanted Eoi to yield ) [23:36] Dang. [23:36] ( I'd love to know how THAT attack works. ((_ ) [23:36] [The Spider kicks Eoi in the head, knocking him out.] [23:36] ( There is literally nothing he can do ) [23:36] ( tangle attack ^_^ ) [23:36] [Eoi vanishes.] [23:37] * Hikaru sighs. [23:37] C'mon Kaira. [23:37] Round 3. [23:37] * Shigeru shakes his head and stuffs a potion down Eoi's throat. :P [23:37] Alright... Kaira, do your best [23:38] ... Ow. [23:38] That... was quite painful [23:38] Kaira should be able to take them...hopefully she's not scared of spiders, too. [23:38] * Kaira jumps out into the arena and charges, firing a Blacked Wing Encirclement [23:38] Well, I don't think she's scared of tentacle demons, exactly, either. It was something else. [23:39] Need another potion, Eoi? [23:39] [She hits the snake-thing, which responds by spitting a yellowish liquid at her. Kaira raises her arm to block, then screams as it starts eating into her.] [23:39] Dammit... [23:39] C'mon, don't lose your nerve... [23:39] Remember how she fought us? And the derby? I don't think she will. [23:40] [She tries to ignore it as she runs up to it, striking with a glowing palm.] [23:40] * Hikaru nods, but is still frowning. [23:40] Excellent... [23:40] [The spider-snake catches her in its pincers and starts crushing her, but at the same time she bores into it with her glowing hands.] [23:41] Come on.... [23:41] Go... [23:41] Shit. C'mon, Kaira. [23:41] [Eventually, Mr. Spider falls over, and Kaira falls to her knees, gasping heavily.] [23:41] Yeah! Kaira! [23:41] Round 4. [23:41] Kaira... [23:41] ...Kaira? [23:42] ( How badly hurt does she look? ) [23:42] ( She looks like she does. Obviously, she's not feeling up to par :P ) [23:42] Hang on, Kaira... [23:42] [The final opponent enters the ring. It's Althor, just as you might have expected.] [23:43] ( What does Althor look like again? ^^; ) [23:43] ( Which one is Althor again? ) [23:43] ( Who? Scrolls up. ) [23:43] * Shigeru continues watching the screen. "C'mon, Kaira." [23:43] ( Wolf-man with bat-wings ) [23:43] (Large, humanoid wolf with bat wings.) [23:43] (Quick! Compliment his story to catch him off guard!) [23:43] ( Ah, him. ) [23:43] Kaira, if you think you need to, yield... [23:43] [He grins slyly. "Heh. I'm gonna take the rest of ya down myself." [23:43] ( afk one minute ) [23:43] ] [23:44] Crap. They have all three strikes. [23:44] Yeah, but if he stays true to his boast, he won't use them. [23:44] * Shigeru nods. "Hopefully he's as stupid as he's ugly." [23:45] ( back. Need to drink less tea... ) [23:45] [Kaira stands weakly, and fires a Blackwinged Encirclement. Althor charges right through it, taking it head on, and tackles Kaira. He then rips into her like a wild dog.] [23:45] DAMMIT! [23:45] * Kaira winds up in the locker room very quickly. [23:46] Round 5. [23:46] Norii... [23:46] ...so. [23:46] * Hikaru quickly potions Kaira. [23:46] * Shigeru curses under his breath as he grabs another potion and administers it to Kaira. [23:46] ... alright, Norii. I have one action left. [23:46] Come in at any time, Miyu. [23:46] * Kaira lives, but doesn't wake up. [23:46] Any preferred action? [23:46] No sense in waiting too long. [23:46] We just need to put him down. [23:46] [Althor beckons Norii, his teeth dripping with Kaira's blood.] [23:46] Shield, maybe? Or more attakc? [23:47] Attack, you dope. [23:47] * Hikaru clenches his hands. "This is it..." [23:47] ... alright... [23:47] * Norii steps into the ring. [23:47] * Miyu takes a turn to aim....... [23:47] ( Lemme know when I can take the action ) [23:47] d6+7 [23:48] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Norii (d6+7) and gets 11. [23:48] [Norii's turn] [23:48] ( Not until Norii's next turn] ) [23:48] Kick it's ass, Norii... [23:48] * Norii aims and shoots. ^^;;; [23:49] [The bullet goes "spak!" in Althor's shoulder.] [23:49] [Althor's turn] [23:50] * Norii dodges frantically. [23:50] [Althor grins, and pounces at Norii.] [23:50] [Althor tackles Norii to the ground] [23:50] oh, shit. [23:51] "You can say that again." [23:51] [Norii's turn] [23:51] * Miyu fires off her aimed shot, with a total attack, for a total -2 bonus. [23:51] ...now would be a good time, Miyu... [23:51] ...nevermind. [23:52] [Miyu's attack hits the wolfman, knocking him off Norii. He gets to his feet almost instantly] [23:52] Norii! Attack! [23:52] * Miyu moves out of arena [23:52] ... this is as far as I can go. [23:52] He's got to be hurting... [23:52] Good luck. [23:53] * Norii rolls away and shoots. [23:53] * Shigeru narrows his eyes. [23:53] Think Calvin, Hikaru. [23:53] Huh? [23:53] The guy. He just stands there and takes it. [23:53] [Norii fires just as Althor leaps, shooting him in mid air. He tries to stand afterwards but fails.] [23:53] Ran right through that blackened circle thing. [23:54] * Miyu blinks. [23:54] * Norii gets up. [23:54] YES! [23:54] "... I..." [23:54] ... alright. We've succeeded. [23:54] That was close there, NOrii. @_@ [23:54] "I'm going... to remember... you, human." [23:54] * Norii eyes the monster warily. [23:54] [Althor vanishes] [23:54] ...just what I needed. [23:54] It was nothing personal. [23:54] ... we just wanted the children. [23:55] (...oh, hell.) [23:55] ( Like he cares? ) [23:55] * Shigeru breathes a sigh of relief. "Go Norii." [23:55] The judges shall now convene. [23:55] ... yeah. [23:55] * Miyu heads back to the room, then downs an EP Potion [23:55] * Hikaru grins. "Way to go, Norii." [23:55] Whoo. [23:56] Though as demons go, he wasn't *that* tough. [23:56] * Shigeru tosses Norii a healing potion with a grin. "Good work out there." [23:56] * Norii chugs. [23:56] Alright... [23:56] What's the score so far? [23:56] That's our third, I think. [23:56] ... and how much does Juni have? [23:57] Two. [23:57] We have three, and Juni has two. [23:57] And they lost in the first round here. [23:57] * Miyu nods. [23:57] So either we tie, or we win. [23:57] Unless there's another event after [23:57] *** Dicesuke has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) [23:57] No telling. [23:58] ( damn, other computer locked. ) [23:58] The fighting seems like a good, dramatic closing for a tournament... [23:58] I'd be more comfortable if we had a larger win margin... [23:59] These fights have been too close [23:59] * Norii thwaps Miyu. [23:59] * Shigeru pushes his glasses up to rub at his eyes. [23:59] Just because I had to finish them off doesn't make it close. [23:59] Hey, you guys won. Doesn't matter HOW you won. [00:00] I guess... [00:01] *** Greg has quit IRC (Quit: SWScript v3.0 has arrived. The Force is strong with this one... http://www.outer-rim.net/swscript/ ) [00:01] *** Dicesuke has joined #BESM [00:01] *** ChanServ sets mode: +v Dicesuke [00:02] ... [00:02] For a single elimination tournament, they're sure taking their time about this. [00:02] * Shigeru sets his glasses on his nose again. [00:02] Maybe they're trying to decide the individual winner. [00:02] ... oh yeah. Single elimination. [00:02] ... so is anyone left? What's the holdup? [00:02] ( We're deciding if you're worthy or not :P ) [00:02] Ah [00:04] [The monitor flashes] [00:04] * Hikaru watches the monitor intently. [00:04] Monitor: The tournament has ended! The prizes are to be awarded. Teams, come to the colluseum! [00:04] * Miyu nods. [00:04] Wow. [00:04] * Shigeru sighs. "Here we go. He stands." [00:04] ... let's go. [00:04] * Norii marches proudly into the arena. [00:04] (*fixes those quotes*) [00:04] * Miyu walks along... [00:05] * Kaira follows. [00:05] * Shigeru adjusts his laptop and walks in. [00:05] * Hikaru gets up and leaves the room, staying a bit back since he's only a spectator. [00:06] * Forbes begins the closing speech, which is basically the opening reworded, but with stuff like "You all worked hard, it was fun, etc" tossed in. [00:07] Now... For the prizes. The winner, Team Smorfy! Your prize is 100 mortal children, to do what you please with. Where would you like them deposited? [00:07] Right up front. ^_^ [00:07] ...Miyu... [00:07] No can do. [00:07] Can you send them to their homes? [00:07] ... what? @_@ [00:07] * Forbes nods. "That I can do." [00:07] Oh [00:08] Or their respective homes, if that's possibl- ah [00:08] Cool [00:08] * Forbes turns and speaks to some demons behind him. [00:08] * Norii resists the urge to thwap Miyu again. [00:08] * Forbes turns back. "It is done; they'll be back by tonight." [00:08] Sweet. [00:08] * Hikaru whispers to Norii. "They're still alive, right?" [00:08] ( Dem, *think* before you say things like that! ) [00:08] In perfect health, I hope. [00:08] Now, the loser... Team Oog! [00:08] They get the cursed prize... [00:09] A 5% tax increase for the next century! [00:09] ( An X-box? ) [00:09] * Norii whispers back. "No clue. I hope so. [00:09] [The tentacle demons cry] [00:09] @_@ [00:09] * Shigeru winces. "Ouch, that's nasty." [00:09] ( Dude. A demon would LOVe the X-Box. It thrives on evil ) [00:09] And finally, the best overall individual prize. [00:09] ... [00:09] * Norii clutches her wallet in sympathy. [00:09] * Eoi cheers. [00:09] I was expecting something a bit more...evil. [00:09] It was a tough decision, but ultimately, the winner is Kaira, from team Smorfy! [00:10] ( Like what, calculus homework? ) [00:10] Taxes *are* evil! [00:10] There are few things more evil than taxes, Hikaru. [00:10] * Shigeru grins. [00:10] * Miyu blinks. [00:10] Hey! Yeah! [00:10] [A blue light shines on Kaira briefly. When it ends, she looks even MORE attractive] [00:10] Alright Kaira! [00:10] You earned it, Kaira. [00:10] ... Er... What was that all about? [00:10] * Miyu blinks. [00:10] ... [00:10] Wow. [00:10] ( How many levels? ) [00:10] * Hikaru blinks. "Nice prize." [00:10] * Miyu holds up a mirror to Kaira [00:11] ( 2 ) [00:11] ( Puts her at 4 now. ) [00:11] * Shigeru stares at Kaira for a moment, then shakes his head. [00:11] * Chelsea raises an eyebrow and chuckles. [00:11] Good job. Kaira. [00:11] * Eoi sighs [00:11] ( /me cackles. Eoi could have used that! ) [00:11] * Kaira blinks. "What happened?!" [00:11] ( Dammit ) [00:11] I'm still cuter, though! [00:11] ( Heh ) [00:11] ( ) [00:11] * Miyu gives mirror to Kaira [00:11] And thus, the 17th Arakus tournament ends. Thank you all for coming. [00:12] Let's get out of here. [00:12] ( I hate you! ((_; ) [00:12] * Hikaru sighs. "Don't forget that we still have something else to deal with. [00:12] [The demons start piling out.] [00:12] ... right. [00:12] * Norii looks at Hikaru. "Huh? [00:13] Someone get Andrew. [00:13] I hated the guy, but he WAS our ally. [00:13] *** Mandoric-AtLAN has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) [00:13] Oh. [00:13] * Shigeru glances around. "Andrew." [00:13] *** NovaSeaker has joined #BESM [00:13] * Miyu goes to get Andrew. [00:13] *** Forbes has quit IRC (Quit: ) [00:13] Yeah... [00:13] * Shigeru blinks. [00:13] * Norii follows after. [00:13] * Shigeru looks over at Hikaru. "You don't mean that." [00:13] ( Bah. Don't remember him! ;_; ) [00:14] * Miyu goes out door and picks up Andrew. [00:14] ( We generate so *many* dead bodies in this RPG... ) [00:14] ( Feh. This is nothing. ) [00:14] * Hikaru looks at Shigeru. "Well...maybe not." [00:14] ( Not my fault you fight impossible battles :P ) [00:14] *** Mandoric-AtLAN has joined #besm [00:14] ( When we hit the level of Call of Cthulhu, then I'll worry. ) [00:14] * Hikaru walks after the group. [00:14] * Shigeru shakes his head as he follows Hikaru. [00:14] ( ND: Or Hackmaster! ) [00:14] ... Andrew's... and Calvin's mother... [00:15] [Once Miyu leaves, she finds herself in the tavern, with no way back in.] [00:15] ... we need to find her. [00:15] ... ah, geez. Looks like I'll have to wait for the others... [00:15] I don't know. I'd think hard before we drag that family into this even more. [00:15] * Shigeru stops before he steps out the door and turns, concentrating on the judges' booth. ~Chelsea, let's get out of here.~ [00:16] ( are we leaving? ) [00:16] (I can think back, right?) [00:16] ( /me GROWLS at his parents. ) [00:16] (Yup.) [00:16] They need to know what happened, right? [00:16] They decide to have A "long talk". I missed everything other then Brett's evil prize to the NPC. [00:16] They do. It's only fair. [00:16] ( that was ( ) ) [00:16] ~I can't, yet. One of the other judges is confronting me. ...he knows who I am.~ [00:17] * Shigeru hisses through his teeth. ~Need help?~ [00:17] ... not they, Hikaru. [00:17] She. [00:17] * Hikaru looks at Shigeru. "Is something keeping Chelsea?" [00:17] ( Who's left already besides Miyu? ) [00:17] ( Miyu, I'm still inside. ) [00:17] One of the judges knows. [00:17] ( I haven' ) [00:17] Knows what? [00:17] Hmm? [00:17] * Shigeru keeps his eyes on the booth. "That she's not a demon." [00:18] ~I'm... not sure. Dear God, Shigeru! I think he just claimed that we're related!~ [00:18] Uh... right? [00:18] ~... What, me and you?~ [00:18] ...uhoh. [00:19] ~No, me and him!~ [00:19] * Shigeru blinks at the booth with a confused expression, but continues, "She bluffed her way into the tou- what the HELL?" [00:19] ~You and him? You mean you and a demon?~ [00:19] What? What? [00:20] ...is she in trouble? [00:20] What? [00:21] ~I'm not quite certain. He's being terribly vague about it, doubtless because he knows he knows things that I don't know. Y'know?~ [00:21] She just said... that the demon she's talking to claims she's related. To him. [00:22] ... Weird. [00:22] She's WHAT? [00:22] ...that would be interesting.\ [00:22] Quite. [00:22] ~Maybe he wants you to think he knows things you don't.~ [00:22] I thought she was human? [00:23] Eh. Who's normal around here? [00:23] * Shigeru shrugs. "I thought I'm human, too. And maybe she is, and the demon's wrong. 'Snot like we know." [00:23] Uh. You seem to be. [00:23] Look at you, elf-boy. [00:23] ...m'not an elf. [00:23] * Shigeru smirks at Eoi. "Yes, but I don't *know*. Not anymore." [00:23] ( I wish I had stayed. x.x ) [00:23] * Miyu holds Andrew's body and knocks on the wall or door or anything, hoping someone will let her back in [00:24] What's taking them... [00:24] *** Julian is now known as Kirby [00:24] If I was a freaking Elf, I wouldn't have these claws. [00:24] *** Kirby has quit IRC (Quit: ) [00:24] ( ... Doh! ) [00:24] * Chelsea approaches the lot of you from the judge's table. [00:24] * Shigeru sighs. [00:24] ( Bye bye, Kirby! ) [00:24] ( Except me. ;_; ) [00:24] Ready to go now, Chelsea? And you'd better give us a rundown on this later. [00:25] *** Kirby has joined #besm [00:25] Hey, everything okay? [00:25] ( /me come back! ) [00:25] Andrew... I'm sorry I couldn't stop this from happening... [00:25] ... we got the kids back, though... [00:26] So are we ready to go? [00:26] ( Suddenly Andrew wakes up. "I'm not quite dead!" ) [00:26] Sure. I'll give you the bare sketch of it right now; the tatoo on my palm is called the Logrus, and is the symbol of a particular clan of demons, which the man who was born as my brother has apparently joined. [00:26] ... [00:27] And I thought my family was messed up. [00:27] Life just gets more interesting. [00:27] Quite. [00:27] ...face it, ALL of our families are messed up. Or at least it seems like it. [00:27] Well, we got the kids back because of it. That's good. Right? [00:27] My family isn't messed up! [00:27] * Meanwhile, Miyu is talking to a corpse. [00:27] (Not again!) [00:27] ( Does Chelsea have any relatives with the blood of Amber? :P ) [00:28] * Shigeru glances around. "Let's get out of this place." [00:28] Did Miyu leave already? [00:28] * Chelsea chuckles. "On the other end, it would seem Julian found a better way of getting away from mom and dad than I did." [00:28] Yeah. [00:28] ( That would be the "Courts of Chaos", rather. ) [00:28] [The coleseum is quiet at this point. [00:28] ] [00:28] Let's go. [00:28] * Shigeru snickers. "Yeah, there is that." He steps out the door. [00:28] * Kaira nods and steps through. [00:28] * Norii follows. [00:28] (Nah, it'd be more like-- yeah, what Norii said. ^_~) [00:29] ( Ked: Not necessarily, some Logrus people had Amber relatives. ) [00:29] * Miyu is holding Andrew... [00:29] * Hikaru walks out the door. [00:29] [Once there, you are inside the bar. The door no longer leads to the coleseum, but instead a small room.] [00:29] * Hikaru blinks at Miyu. "...not again." [00:29] ( if this gets into esoteric reality manipulation, I'm outta here ) [00:29] * Shigeru notices Andrew, and any hint of humor leaves his face. [00:29] Shut up, Hikaru. [00:29] [You also hear a scream from outside as soon as Hikaru gets in.] [00:29] *** NinjaDebugger is now known as GenericGirl [00:29] ( why? Andrew's death was funny! :P ) [00:30] (*thwaps Brett* :P) [00:30] * Miyu blinks. [00:30] * Chelsea wanders out the door with the others. [00:30] AAAAAAAAHHHHH! [00:30] * Miyu looks outside. [00:30] What the? [00:30] * Hikaru runs outside. [00:30] * Chelsea blinks. [00:30] Not again! [00:30] * Shigeru runs to the enterance. [00:30] *sigh* [00:30] * Miyu looks around... [00:30] * Chelsea heads t'wards the noise. [00:30] * Miyu is looking aorund outisde the bar thing, BTW [00:30] * Norii walks that way. [00:31] [Outside, Eoi's motorcycle and Norii's scooter lie in pieces. A McDougal's employee lies in a pool of blood, along with 2 other strangers, and a woman is pointing two guns at a girl cowering against the side of the bar] [00:31] * Shigeru stares, and his eyes flicker. ~Who wants to kick the lady's ass?~ [00:31] * Miyu looks for the source of the screaming [00:31] *** Kirby is now known as PsychoWoman [00:31] Hey! [00:31] *** Dicesuke has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) [00:31] * Miyu runs over. [00:31] * PsychoWoman looks up? "What have we here?" [00:31] ...shit. [00:31] [Init time] [00:31] ~I do!

She spots Shig and grins. [00:36] My scooter! ;_; [00:36] You! One of those lameass clones! [00:36] * Shigeru 's eyes widen. "Oh shit!" [00:37] * Hikaru blinks. [00:37] * PsychoWoman whips both guns at Shig. "Die clone!" [00:37] My.. Bike.. [00:37] * Eoi growls. [00:37] I think not. [00:37] Miyu! Shield! [00:37] [Shig dives out of the way of the first bullet, but the second one glances off his side] [00:37] ( I'll shield when it comes to my turn ) [00:38] [Hikaru's turn] [00:38] * Hikaru pops his claws out and slashes the woman. [00:38] * Shigeru hisses in pain as he presses his hand to his side. [00:38] * GenericGirl screams shrilly. [00:39] NOT A DAMN ELF!! [00:39] (... Yeah. We're all in good moods. ^_^) [00:39] [Hikaru misses, sadly] [00:39] [Miyu's turn] [00:39] * Miyu tosses up shield around all allies [00:39] ( You can't get the girl from your position, you know ) [00:39] ( All the allies that I can ) [00:40] [Norii's turn] [00:40] * Norii alas can only draw this round. (Or can I?) [00:40] ( No lightning draw, so... yup. ) [00:40] [Chelsea's turn] [00:41] ( Come to think of it, same with Chelsea. ) [00:41] * Chelsea draws her sword. And her black dagger. [00:42] [Shig's turn] [00:42] * Shigeru pushes himself to his feet, concentrating on the woman's thoughts and emotions. [00:43] * Shigeru goes pale, staring at her with wide eyes. He stumbles back. [00:43] [Eoi's turn] [00:43] * Eoi growls and slashes at the woman. [00:44] Man, why'd you wreck my bike. Come ON, do you know how HARD it'll be to get that fixed? .. I may even have to buy a new one! [00:44] ( Eoi sounds like Feng. ) [00:44] [The woman dodges cleanly out of the way, sticking her tounge out at Eoi.] [00:44] ( You hurt my bike! Now I'm going to bisect you! ) [00:44] (Cut off her tongue!) [00:45] ( The bike's in pieces. Good luck fixing it :P ) [00:45] [Kaira's turn] [00:45] ( Say that again and I hurt you. ) [00:45] ( Eoi sounds like Feng. ) [00:45] ( ... Dammit, I hope I can at least get a new bike. It's really annoying to have a major item taken away for no reason. ) [00:45] [Kaira fires a Black Winged Encirclement, connecting head on.

[00:50] [Hikaru barely makes it out of the way, while Eoi is hit in the shoulder] [00:50] ( Eoi can't. Eoi has very little money. Eoi doesn't feel like spending his next CP buying ANOTHER level of Personal Gear just so he can get around. ) [00:50] ( Good grief. ) [00:51] (Take the transit system like half of us. :P) [00:51] ( Public transportation works wonders. ) [00:51] [Hikaru's turn] [00:51] * Hikaru snarls, unconciously shifting into Youkai form as he does so. He fires off his energy claws at the woman. [00:51] ( Brett: Bus's are similar to cars. ) [00:51] ( It's also the main form of transport in Japan ) [00:51] ( Hey, good point! ) [00:51] ( Is the bike insured against psychos? ) [00:51] ( That's why I bought the damn thing. Today has been a bad day in general for me. ) [00:52] [The claws slam into the woman.] [00:52] ( Sorry if I'm being a grouch. ) [00:52] * Hikaru grins nastily. [00:52] ( Any vehicles in the vincinity are kinda torn apart or broken or something. ) [00:52] [Miyu's turn] [00:52] Oi! Shigeru! What's wrong? Should we be holding back against this lady?

They seem to go right through the shield. ) [00:53] ( Yup ) [00:53] ( But only a quick sentence. ) [00:53] ( No long conversations. ) [00:54] * Shigeru opens his mouth, then closes it, and attempts to focus his thoughts to his groupmates. ~She knows something, but is out of it. Let her live, if you can.~ [00:54] Hai. [00:54] ( Can I still do anything? ) [00:54] ( Yeah. ) [00:54] ( Or is talking hte only action possible? ) [00:55] * Miyu attempts to grab the gun and disarm her [00:55] [Miyu fails] [00:55] ( Ked facepalms. ) [00:55] [Norii's turn] [00:56] * Norii bites her lip, then deliberately shoots to wound, not kill.

I gotta go soon. ) [00:59] [Norii's bullet strikes the woman.] [01:00] ( Hard to say. ) [01:00] ( Shouldn't go TOO much longer... ) [01:00] [Chelsea's turn] [01:00] (If anything, Eoi can probably just wander home after this fight, and we can continue.) [01:00] ( Yeah, I do have to get up before 13:00 tomorrow. ) [01:01] ( Yeah, cause he's depressed about his bike! ) [01:01] ( ...and Saturday is my one day to sleep in. ) [01:03] ( I can stay for 10 minutes at the most. ) [01:03] ( Any time now... ) [01:03] ( You guys take so long for everything... Brett had planned this to happen at around 10 or 11. ) [01:03] ( Chel? ) [01:03] ( It ain't gonna be done that fast. ) [01:03] * Chelsea casts My MAgic Shield. [01:03] ( 12, actually, but yeah :P ) [01:03] ( Then I gotta go. ) [01:04] [Eoi suddenly trips and the Woman takes the opportunity to knock him out.] [01:04] ( Sorry folks. I'll be here, and hopefully less of a pain in the ass next time. I've had a bad day, and now I need to sleep. Bye. ) [01:04] ( There ya go ^_^ ) [01:04] ( NIght ) [01:04] (Night.) [01:04] ( Night ) [01:04] ('Night, Atom. ) [01:04] [Shig's turn] [01:04] *** Eoi has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer ) [01:05] * Shigeru continues staring at the woman, color drained from his face. He swallows and tries to get into position to dodge if she shoots again. (Total defense, I guess it's called) [01:05] [Kaira's turn] [01:05] * Kaira blasts the Woman again... But her shot goes wild. [01:06] [WhinyGirl's turn [01:06] ] [01:06] * GenericGirl picks herself up and runs around behind the heroes. [01:06] [Woman's turn] [01:07] * PsychoWoman shoots Miyu, who was evil enough to try to steal her guns. [01:07] *** Calculus has left IRC [01:07] * Miyu attempts to dodge [01:07] *** Mandoric-AtLAN has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) [01:07] [Miyu gets hit in a leg and an arm.] [01:08] Gh... [01:08] [Norii's turn] [01:08] * Norii tries to type in the correct window. **;;; [01:09] (You critfail your typing roll!) [01:09] * Norii stops worrying about shooting to wound, this woman is too dangerous. [01:09] (BLAM) [01:09] ( Err... Wait a sec. ) [01:09] ( I skipped 2 people @_@ ) [01:10] *** Mandoric-AtLAN has joined #besm [01:10] [Norii is suddenly briefly inspired by the movie she saw last night and goes a bit faster, shooting the woman in an arm.] [01:10] [Hikaru's turn] [01:10] ( Heh ) [01:11] * Hikaru rushes at the woman and claws at her. [01:11] [Hikaru slices her up quite nicely] [01:11] [Miyu's turn] [01:12] * Miyu attempts to drain punch her [01:12] [The woman sidesteps quickly] [01:13] [Chelsea's turn] [01:13] * Chelsea attempts to (partially) disarm the woman with her sword. [01:13] 2d6-4 [01:13] * Dicesuke throws the bones for Chelsea (2d6-4) and gets 3. [01:13] ( Oi ) [01:13] ( How do you partially disarm someone? ) [01:13] ( I'm doing the rolls off-camera :P ) [01:14] (One weapon.) [01:14] (Oh, right. ^^;) [01:14] (I can only go for one weapon at a time.) [01:14] [Chelsea succeeds in sending a gun flying. The woman does not look happy about it] [01:14] [Shig's turn] [01:14] ( Oh yeah ) [01:14] * Shigeru glances around, looking for the girl who was screaming earlier. [01:15] [Kaira's turn] [01:15] * Kaira does the same old same old. [01:15] * Kaira also misses utterly, too. [01:15] [Wotsername's turn] [01:16] * GenericGirl grabs a video camera off the ground where it was lying and turns it toward the battle. [01:16] ...uh-oh. [01:16] [Woman's turn] [01:16] * Miyu blinks. [01:16] (And you guys are looking at the girl instead of the woman? ^^;) [01:16] * PsychoWoman quickdraws another gun, firing both at Chelsea [01:17] ... [01:17] ( Ignore the girl, the psycho is what's important. The girl is meaningless. ) [01:17] [One bullet finds its way into Chelsea's leg.] [01:18] [Hikaru's turn] [01:18] ( Any idea how long this fight is going to take? I've gotta be off to bed fairly soon ) [01:18] * Hikaru throws more energy claws at the woman. [01:18] * Chelsea winces. [01:19] ( No idea. ) [01:19] [The claws stike the woman.] [01:20] [She's bleeding from several places now, but is still goin'] [01:20] [Miyu's turn] [01:20] ...good grief. What IS she? [01:20] * Miyu attempts to fire an energy bolt. [01:20] Insane, obviously. [01:20] [Miyu's attack strikes her in the side.] [01:20] [Norii's turn] [01:20] * Shigeru doesn't answer. He just stares. [01:21] GehahahahahaHAHAAHAHAHahahaha..... [01:21] * Norii has no option but to shoot. Again. [01:21] Gonna kill ya. [01:22] [Norii's bullet takes the woman in the side] [01:22] [Chelsea's turn] [01:23] * Chelsea decides to just cut the psycho, this time. [01:23] [Chelsea cuts exceptionally well, seperating the woman into two halves. [01:24] ] [01:24] * GenericGirl gapes. [01:24] (o.O) [01:24] Yuck! [01:24] * Hikaru goes wide eyed. [01:24] [The upper-half keeps coming. "Gheh"] [01:24] [Shig's turn] [01:24] EEEEK! [01:24] These people... they're incredible! Are they some sort of superheroes? [01:24] Oh my god, she's not dead? [01:24] * Shigeru shudders, almost looks away, then blinks. "What the *fuck*?" [01:24] What... IS she? [01:24] How can she survive that? [01:24] ................... I don't think we have any choice but to kill her. [01:24] * Chelsea blinks. "Good God." [01:25] * Shigeru concentrates on the woman again. [01:25] This is amazing, she's like a demon straight out of a magical girl show! [01:25] ( And no, no robotic bits in the other half :P ) [01:25] Is she a weapons test subject, I wonder... [01:25] [Kaira's turn] [01:25] * GenericGirl swings the camera around, getting good visuals on everybody. [01:25] The clones. She was sent to kill... [01:25] * Hikaru is starting to look more nauseated then angry. [01:26] * Miyu blinks. [01:26] * Kaira fires another shot. And misses again @_@ [01:26] [Woman's turn] [01:26] ... so she's here to get rid of all the copies? [01:26] ( Is that me or the psycho? ) [01:26] * PsychoWoman crawls a bit then fires at Chelsea and Shig. "Gya... hah..." [01:27] ( Oops ) [01:27] ( You keep referring to me as different names. ) [01:27] ( Well, you're looking at everyone, so... ) [01:27] ( Relax, i'ts cool. ) [01:27] * GenericGirl zooms in on Hikaru. [01:27] * PsychoWoman shoots 'em both up! [01:27] (Er. With one gun?) [01:27] [Hikaru's turn] [01:27] ( She has two. ) [01:27] (She's got two. Where'd I get hit?) [01:27] ( She quickdrew another. ) [01:28] (Ah. Must've missed that.) [01:28] ( The side. Nowhere important. Probably :P ) [01:28] (And where'd I get hit?) [01:28] * Hikaru walks over to the woman and attemps to claw her head off. [01:28] I don't know who... or what this... man? is, but he keeps throwing these laser beams from nowhere, he's gotta be an alien or something. [01:28] *** Falcon has left IRC [01:28] [Hikaru succeeds, and she stops moving.] [01:28] Aliens? [01:28] ( Don't say that word! ) [01:28] Oh, no. [01:28] * Hikaru sighs in relief. [01:29] *** PsychoWoman is now known as Kirby [01:29] You... have alien footage? Proof of their existence on Earth? [01:29] * Shigeru shudders and collapses. [01:29] * Norii steps up and kicks the guns far away. [01:29] Oh my god, she's dead, she's dead and gone. [01:29] It's incredible. [01:29] * Hikaru turns and looks at the girl. "I'm not an alien! Not an elf, either!" [01:29] No, he's a fairy. [01:29] Shiggy! [01:29] * Kaira turns and walks up to the girl. [01:29] ... so, what's your name? [01:29] And why was that lady threatening you? [01:29] * Norii goes over and examines him. [01:30] * Hikaru turns and glares at Miyu. "AND I'M NOT A FAIRY!!" [01:30] * Kaira fires a Black Winged Encirclement at the camera. [01:30] * GenericGirl swings the camera around to look at Shigeru. [01:30] [The camera shatters into bitty-bits.] [01:30] * Shigeru turns so Norii can see the injuries. "Not so bad. Really." He's still pale and shaking. [01:30] * Chelsea aproaches the girl. "I'm afriad I'm going to have to ask you to turn off that... good job, Kaira." [01:30] ... [01:30] Sorry about this... [01:30] ( Oh, great. Now she's going to follow Kaira around until she buys her a new camera. :P ) [01:31] It's nothing personal... [01:31] ... [01:31] AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!! [01:31] * Norii does what she can to help. "Hey, Kaira, when you're done scaring the poor girl, come over here and help Shigeru a little, please? [01:31] Right. [01:31] * GenericGirl cowers away from the towering bitch that broke her camera. [01:31] * Miyu gives a Kirby plush to GenericGirl [01:31] * Kaira walks over and starts healing Shiggy. [01:31] * Hikaru walks over to the girl. "Look, we can't let you tape us." [01:31] ( From where? You gave it back to Eoi. ) [01:31] ( Miyu bought her own ) [01:31] * Shigeru closes his eyes and sighs. "Thanks, Kaira." The color starts returning to his face. [01:32] * Hikaru retracts his claws and shifts back to human. [01:32] ( Unless there's a problem with more than one Kirby plush ) [01:32] I do apologize for the camera. She get's a little overenthusiastic sometimes... [01:32] Ne... what's your name? [01:32] Oh my god, Shigeru! [01:32] * Chelsea walks over to Kaira and Shiggy. "I don't suppose you'd heal the rest of us up, while you at it?" [01:32] ( I don't recall you ever saying so. ) [01:32] * GenericGirl runs over to where Shigeru is laying. [01:32] ( So you don't have one. ) [01:32] ...you know Shiggy? [01:32] ( Hm. Ah well. Never midn, then ) [01:32] * Shigeru blinks. "Huh?" He looks over at the girl. [01:32] * Miyu blinks. [01:32] You know Shigeru? [01:32] * Kaira nods. "I'll do what I can, but I'm getting tired..." [01:32] You know him? [01:33] * Kaira heals Chelsea a bit. [01:33] * Chelsea blinks. "You know Shig?" [01:33] Are you okay? Oh my god, look at all the blood. [01:33] Oh, and thanks, Kaira. [01:33] Is that why the lady was after you? [01:33] ... yeah... we're used to combat. [01:33] By the way, I think we might want to, y'know, leave. We can talk while we walk. [01:33] Um. Yeah, I guess I am. They skimmed me. [01:33] ... yeah... [01:33] * Norii eyes the (hopefully) dead woman, making sure she's still that way. [01:34] * Miyu checks the guy on the ground if he's still alive [01:34] * GenericGirl grabs Shigeru in a big hug. [01:34] Check for survivors... heal if necessary. [01:34] Oof! [01:34] (Loudest thought, Generic. :P) [01:34] * Miyu checks for survivors [01:34] * Chelsea blinks, and smirks. "Looks like you have an admirer, Shiggy." [01:34] You ladies' man, you. [01:35] ( SHiggy Freelance! ) [01:35] * Shigeru blushes. "Ah. Um." [01:35] * Hikaru checks the other two victims. [01:35] (... Why is the geek the ladies' man in this game, exactly?) [01:35] [The others are dead] [01:35] ... dead. [01:35] [Eoi's still alive, though] [01:35] ( He has more appearance than the cool people, that's why. ^_~ ) [01:35] ohmygodIcan'tbelievethiswhathappenedwhydidshebreakmycamerathisishorrible!!! [01:35] Eoi's alright, though [01:35] * GenericGirl breaks down into tears, still holding onto Shigeru. [01:36] (Because it's a choice between him, the weenie and the troll? :P ) [01:36] * Miyu blinks at the girl. [01:36] * Shigeru blinks. [01:36] Calm down.... [01:36] Aww, hell. [01:36] ( Not really. Chel and Generic decided to fall for him themselves :P ) [01:36] * Shigeru awkwardly pats the girl on the back. "C'mon, don't cry." [01:36] Shigeru? [01:36] Shig? If you can breathe, tell her I'll reimburse her for the camera. [01:36] * Hikaru looks over at Shigeru and the girl. [01:37] ... [01:38] ... first off, any ideas what's been going on here? [01:38] We don't have time for this. [01:38] Yeah, didja hear what Chelsea said? She'll pay for your broken camera. [01:38] * Shigeru looks down at the girl and sighs. [01:38] Yeah, we need to get moving. [01:38] Yeah... [01:38] * Miyu picks up Andrew again. [01:38] Someone get Eoi. [01:38] ...I need to wash this blood off. [01:39] * GenericGirl notes that there is a loaded backpack near where the girl was standing, where she picked up the camera. [01:39] What's your name? [01:39] * GenericGirl clings tightly to Shigeru. [01:39] * Miyu frowns [01:39] * Shigeru blinks. [01:40] * Miyu holds her head [01:40] ... [01:40] * Kaira starts walking away. [01:40] ... Kaira. [01:40] * Shigeru blushes furiously. "Come on." He tries to help the girl up. [01:40] Let's go, already. [01:40] ... so you're just leaving now? [01:40] Thankyou for your help, Kaira. [01:40] Hey, Kaira. [01:40] Like I said. I don't have time for this. [01:40] * GenericGirl stands up with Shigeru's help. [01:41] I have problems to take care of. [01:41] * Chelsea chuckles. "Well, thanks anyway." [01:41] *sniff* [01:41] And I need to figure out how to be in two places at once. [01:41] ... what kinds of problems? [01:41] * Miyu blinks. [01:41] Okay, Kaira. Thanks for helping out back there. [01:41] 2 places? [01:41] * Kaira nods. [01:41] ...yeah, I suppose so. It's been good working with you. [01:41] Mind explaining? [01:41] And don't do anything stupid. You *can't* be in two places at once. Let us know if you need help, all right? [01:41] ...if you need some help... yeah. [01:42] * Kaira nods. "Perhaps I will." [01:42] The world needs more Smorfies, not fewer. [01:42] * Kaira walks off. [01:42] * Chelsea turns to GeneriGirl. "So. What's your name?" [01:42] *** Kaira has quit IRC (Quit: ) [01:42] Huh? [01:42] ( Woot! One less NPC to keep track of! ) [01:42] I've been asking that question for a while now. [01:42] ( heh ) [01:43] You... I'm Mei-Yin. *sniff* Not that it matters... [01:43] We need to get out of here. [01:43] * GenericGirl looks like she's gonna burst into tears again. [01:43] What's wrong? [01:43] Mei-Yin? [01:43] * Chelsea raises an eyebrow. "'Not that it matters'?" [01:43] * Norii looks sadly at her scooter. "Ah, well, I got it used anyway." [01:43] Why wouldn't your name matter? [01:44] All the excitement will be over soon,a nd you'll leave, and then you'll forget I ever existed! ;_; [01:44] * GenericGirl starts crying again. [01:44] ... [01:44] *** GenericGirl is now known as Mei-Yin [01:44] Huh? [01:44] * Miyu gives Mei-Yin the address for Mystery Club. [01:44] * Chelsea walks around to Shig's side and rests an elbow on his shoulder. ~Uh. What do you make of this, Shig?~ [01:44] Look. You can find us here, on most early evenings. [01:44] * Shigeru fights the urge to sweatdrop and gets a closer look at the girl. "Hey, I know you. Aren't you in some of my classes?" [01:45] Come ON! You can come with us. And we need to FUCKING LEAVE ALREADY! [01:45] ( ... Miyu goes about giving out the address to perfect strangers. ) [01:45] ( Oh goodie. ) [01:45] You... [01:45] * Shigeru thinks back to Chelsea, ~I'm not sure. I remember her from somewhere... and I think she's in some of my classes, but...~ [01:45] You remember me?! [01:45] ( No, just crying ones who know Shigeru. ) [01:45] * Miyu looks around... [01:45] Someone get Eoi [01:45] * Shigeru blinks. "Er, yeah. Why wouldn't I?" [01:45] * Mei-Yin attaches herself to Shigeru again! [01:45] * Shigeru sweatdrops. [01:45] * Hikaru scratches the back of his neck. [01:45] ~But?~ "Hey, Norii's right. I wouldn't like to get caught armed near a corpse." [01:45] ( What about crying ones who know Andrew? ) [01:46] ( Maybe you should go back to the IHoP and give Yuki the address too. ) [01:46] ( I dunno ) [01:46] * Shigeru shrugs helplessly. "Somebody get Eoi?" [01:46] Someone get Eoi. [01:46] ( And what about crying guys who got turned down by Chelsea? ) [01:46] ( Give them the address too. ) [01:46] * Hikaru walks over and picks up Eoi. [01:46] * Norii heads off to a nearby public transportation facility. [01:47] Okay. I don't know about the rest of you, but I doesn't want to stay around a murder scene any longer than I have to. [01:47] .... we've got Eoi and Andrew. We can't just be seen at public transport. [01:47] Yeah... [01:47] * Miyu walks. [01:47] So, what were you doing here, Mei-Yin? [01:47] * Shigeru looks down at Mei-Yin and sighs. "C'mon, we've got some explaining to do. Um. Is that your backpack over there?" He points. [01:47] Ohmygod people are dead, they're dead, what's going on? [01:48] Ah, geez... [01:48] Huh? My bag... [01:48] My camera!!! [01:48] WAH! [01:48] Aww, hell. [01:48] ( Good grief folks. Can we wrap this up already? ) [01:48] * Chelsea facepalms. [01:48] Just get your things. [01:48] * Mei-Yin runs over and picks up her bag and the shattered remains of her camera. [01:48] We'll explain along the way. [01:49] *** Kirby has quit IRC (Quit: ) [01:49] [It starts raining!] [01:49] No, *I'll* explain. She deserves to know now. It's quieter that way. [01:49] Shig, get her moving. I'll get her backpack. [01:49] ( Norii can hurry ahead or something. ) [01:49] .... geez. Rain. [01:49] It's like the universe wants us to hurry up. [01:49] * Shigeru nods and grabs Mei-Yin by the arm, and gently pulls her to the nearest transit. [01:49] * Miyu goes along... [01:49] ( Shig and Mei can always be a mini-session, ya know. ) [01:50] We going to meet up anywhere, or should I drag Eoi home? [01:50] ( 'Specially since the others kinda have bodies, one of which is dead :P ) [01:50] ( Heh. I know ) [01:50] And who's taking Andrew? [01:50] ... I can't go on public transport. [01:50] * Chelsea gets said backpack, and then goes back to walking with the others. [01:50] Where should I take him? [01:51] Andrew? Fuck. [01:51] * Mei-Yin is pulled along by Shigeru! @_@ [01:51] * Hikaru uses the rainwater to wash the blood off his hands. [01:51] * Shigeru frowns. "We might want to leave him with the others... it was a mass murder, after all. But that's..." He sighs. [01:51] ... I know... [01:51] But they'll find it weird without bullet holes. [01:52] * Chelsea has sheathed her weapons, and tries to hand the backpack to Mei. "Here, I think this is yours. I *hope* this is yours." [01:52] ( The way that crazy lady operated? Not likely. ) [01:52] (No kidding.) [01:52] ( But if you're really worried, just shoot him a few times :P ) [01:52] ... should I leave him there? [01:52] * Mei-Yin takes the backpack. [01:52] Uh... yeah... thanks... [01:52] ( Norii wishes Nakamura-sensei would get back. ) [01:52] ( What, and have htem find a discrepancy between the bullet type and the gun used? ) [01:52] He'll get a proper burial that way. Maybe... I don't know, maybe they can contact his mom somehow. [01:53] And if you didn't hear before, I'll reimburse you for your camera. [01:53] * Miyu nods... [01:53] ... [01:53] My poor camera... ;_; [01:53] * Miyu goes over and places Andrew among the dead. [01:53] All my footage... [01:53] ... Andrew Fort... [01:53] (If you wanna be that way aboutit, Miyu, you can shoot him with one of the psycho woman's guns. :P) [01:53] * Shigeru closes his eyes. "I'm sorry, Andrew," he whispers. [01:53] ... rest well. [01:53] (No kidding. :P) [01:53] ( What, and have them find Miyu's fingerprints on them? ) [01:54] ( Yes. ^_^ ) [01:54] ( Aw. She realized ;_; ) [01:54] ... goodbte. [01:54] ( It's raining. Fingerprints are mostly a non-issue. ) [01:54] * Miyu stands back up, then walks back to the group... [01:54] ...goodbye, Andrew. Sorry. [01:54] [And they went home. Session End]
