[01:14] [ Chelsea has brought you all to her place for a victory celebration of sorts. You know the drill for the drill; massive room, paintings (many inspired by MC's adventures), bookshelves, electronics, piano, easle used for making more paintings, etc. ] [01:14] [ Les' ged dis shindig stahted! ] [01:15] ( YOu can just crash out whenever you're tired. ) [01:15] * Chelsea opens the upper door and holds it open for you all. "Come on in, guys." [01:15] * Mei-Yin steps through the door. [01:15] Wow, it's been a while since I've been here. [01:15] * Norii slips over to the phone and places an anonymous call to the campus sanitation department. [01:16] * Chelsea nods. [01:16] * Mei-Yin slips the sword out of her belt, where it's been resting safely in its new saya. [01:16] * Mei-Yin sets it down on a coffee table. [01:16] Say, who else is hungry? I know a great catering service not too far from here that I've been thinking of buying. [01:17] * Mei-Yin giggles as her stomach makes its opinion known. [01:17] * Shigeru steps in and makes his way to the couch, where he slumps. For not being hit during the fight, he looks awfully tired. [01:17] * Sai walks inside and looks around, smiling happily. [01:17] * Shigeru grins. "Go for it, Chel." [01:17] Sounds good to me. [01:17] I could eat. Was too nervous to have any supper today. ^^; [01:17] * Eoi finds a place to sit, and does that. [01:18] * Chelsea nods. "Alright. I'll wait for Norii to get done with the phone first, however. What sounds good?" [01:18] Anything. [01:18] * Sai shrugs. [01:18] ...except pancakes. [01:18] Pizza. [01:18] * Shigeru snickers. [01:18] * Chelsea grins. "Waffles it is then." [01:18] You really needed to ask? [01:19] No, not waffles either. [01:19] Pizza is good. [01:19] * Chelsea snickers. "I was kidding, Shig." [01:19] Mayo, corn, and sweetfish is my favorite. [01:19] Pizza is the offical food of Mystery Club. [01:19] * Norii hangs up. [01:19] As long as they don't deliver a monster with the pizza. [01:19] I hope they hose that down. [01:19] Hell, they probably send some demons of their own out just to make sure we order afterwards. [01:19] And pizza works fine. Although I'll probably call a pizza place instead of the catering place. [01:19] * Norii eyes Eoi some more. "Numbskull." [01:20] * Shigeru sticks his tongue out at Chelsea. [01:20] (Well, at Chelsea's voice, anyhow.) [01:20] I could cook, too... [01:20] I love you too Norii. ^_^ [01:20] I make a mean... well... pretty much anything. [01:20] Guaranteed demon free! [01:20] You rest Mei-Yin. [01:20] * Chelsea sticks her tongue back out at Shig, making sure to make a 'nyah' sound so he knows. [01:20] You were possessed for a long while here, so rest some. [01:21] * Norii sticks out her tounge at Eoi. [01:21] * Shigeru snickers and grabs Mei by the hand, pulling her to the couch. "Yeah, what he said." [01:21] * Mei-Yin sits down next to Shigeru. [01:21] * Mei-Yin leans into Shigeru and gets comfortable. [01:22] ( You know... if we hadn't been doing so badly this whole time, I don't think this victory would taste _nearly_ as sweet. ) [01:22] * Sai watches Mei and Shigeru and smiles. [01:22] (Not even close.) [01:22] ( Amen to that. ^_^ ) [01:23] * Shigeru grins and blushes a little. [01:23] * Eoi leans back and grins. "Amazing. Something went right for once." [01:23] * Chelsea shakes her head. "So, what's everyone want on their pizza? And Eoi, you get two to yourself for handling that exorcism so well." [01:23] * Norii makes a warding sign. [01:23] Mayo, corn, sweetfish, and soba noodles! [01:23] * Sai finally takes a seat and leans back. [01:23] Don't say shit like that, Eoi, you never know who's listening. [01:23] ( /me gets queasy just typing that. That is NOT a pizza. ) [01:24] I can hardly remember the last time I've felt this good. ^_^ [01:24] ...gee, could they have pepperoni? [01:24] ( No, it isn't. Your chars like some strange not-quite- foodstuffs, ND. ) [01:24] American sounds good tonight. [01:24] I like cheese on my Pizza. [01:24] You know, I don't care. I'm hungry. [01:24] ( It's a japanese pizza. ) [01:25] ... But no mushrooms. [01:25] Well, cheese too. [01:25] They can do American-style, Norii. I worked out an agreement with the manager at the place I intend to call. [01:25] American style sounds good to me. [01:25] ( Guys, note that for the first time since she got it, Mei is separated willingly from the sword. It's sitting on the coffee table right now, just a ways out of arm's reach. ) [01:32] American style is okay. I guys you guys aren't feeling very adventurous. [01:32] (Yep.) [01:33] I have had sufficient adventure for to-day. [01:33] * Mei-Yin smiles. [01:33] ( Should we just pretend Norii's here, or shall I have Chel see her out like a good host? ) [01:33] Why the heck were we in Tokyo Tower, anyway? [01:33] You like dramatics. [01:33] Dramatic necessity. [01:34] * Shigeru laughs. [01:34] * Mei-Yin looks over at Norii, who has fallen asleep in her chair. "Looks like Norii won't be eating tonight." [01:34] * Mei-Yin blinkblinks. [01:34] I like dramatics? [01:34] But Tokyo Tower is only used for final showdowns and mystic passages. [01:34] Exactly. [01:34] Mmm. Too bad. [01:34] Exactly. [01:35] Er... [01:35] I get the feeling I've missed something. ^_^; [01:35] * Shigeru half-hugs Mei with one arm. "That's because you are. It's a long story." [01:35] * Mei-Yin slips an arm behind Shigeru and squeezes. [01:35] One we'll be happy to tell you, I think. [01:35] * Shigeru grins. [01:36] Full of adventure, exitement, betrayl.. [01:36] Terrible love poetry. [01:36] Hmmm. Eoi, could you help me get Norii back to a guest room? Just in case she starts to snore, or something. [01:36] Sex, violence, dramatic sword battles. [01:36] Sure thing. [01:36] Sex? [01:36] * Eoi helps Chelsea out. [01:37] That would be just my luck, to finally score with Shigeru and not remember it. [01:37] * Chelsea does that, depositing Norii in one of the guest rooms not used for blood sacrifice and demon summoning. She comes back and heads for the phone, bringing it over to the sitting area around the coffee table. [01:37] * Shigeru pauses. "Well, you don't remember something like that..." [01:38] (Aww, come on. You should have put her in the one with the altar of evil and the everburning dark candles.) [01:39] Because it didn't happen? [01:39] ( What? Think she would've been more at home there or something? ^_^ ) [01:39] Good. [01:39] * Mei-Yin squeezes Shigeru tightly. [01:39] I want to remember it! [01:39] * Shigeru laughs nervously. "Um... Mei?" [01:39] (Yes!) [01:40] (She'd sleep better. ^_^) [01:40] Hmm? [01:40] I... erm. [01:40] Don't worry. The only sex was Sai and Norii. [01:40] ... [01:40] It was NOT! [01:40] O_O [01:40] Now _there's_ an unlikely pair. [01:40] I figured Saki had dibs on Sai. [01:41] * Sai blushes bright red. [01:41] Fine fine. We'll include Sai and Saki, but that was a one-night stand. [01:41] * Shigeru begins to say something, then stops as he has to control his laughter. [01:41] * Mei-Yin eyes Sai. [01:41] You CAD! [01:41] He's making it up! [01:41] Using poor Saki like that! [01:41] * Chelsea snickers. [01:41] Does this mean that when Eoi gets his body back, he and Chel are gonna get together? [01:42] I didn't do anything to Saki! She'd shoot me! [01:42] * Mei-Yin nods at Shigeru. [01:42] Don't count on it, Shigeru. Sorry, Eoi. [01:42] Chelsea and Eoi would make a good couple. [01:42] I really doubt that. ^_^;. [01:42] * Chelsea laughs musically. [01:42] I'm not sure Eoi and Kimiko would be able to get along. [01:42] Right. She can smack him every time he does something stupid. He has a head thick enough to be able to stand it. [01:42] Me and Kimiko? You're obviously kidding. [01:43] Of course! You're obviously destined for Chelsea now that she's let go of her hate. [01:43] * Mei-Yin looks absolutely serious. [01:43] ... [01:43] * Chelsea smirks and shakes her head sadly. "No. Now, please be quiet so I can order the pizza?" [01:44] * Mei-Yin gets real quiet. Her stomach doesn't. [01:44] * Sai laughs. [01:45] * Mei-Yin glares at Sai. [01:45] You better be quiet, mister one-night-stand. [01:45] * Sai shuts up. [01:45] * Shigeru cracks up. [01:46] You better pray you didn't get either of them pregnant, or it's a katana-point wedding for you! [01:46] * Eoi cracks up. [01:46] * Chelsea laughs out loud again, and begins frantically motioning for Mei-Yin to stop. [01:46] * Eoi falls off his seat laughing. [01:46] * Mei-Yin looks sheepish and gets real quiet. [01:46] * Shigeru hears the thud, which just makes him laugh harder. [01:47] I think I like this Mei-Yin of yours Shigeru. [01:47] * Shigeru gasps out words between laughter. "See? I... told you... she's great." [01:48] * Eoi can't stop snickering. [01:48] I...I...I... [01:48] * Chelsea lets the laughter die down. "Ehe... ah. Thank you, Mei. I can keep us from starving now." [01:48] Good, good. [01:48] * Chelsea dials and puts the phone to her ear, still chuckling a bit. "Hello. It's Chelsea." There is a pause. "Oh, don't be silly. Of course there aren't any hard feelings! I'm just calling to order pizza." [01:49] * Shigeru snickers, but fortunately doesn't burst out laughing again. [01:49] * Eoi climbs back into his seat. [01:50] Katana point wedding. Oh, that was classic. [01:50] * Chelsea places everyone's orders, getting two extra with just pepperoni and cheese just in case. "Now, you do remember our agreement? Good, good." She hangs up. "It will be here in fifteen minutes." [01:50] * Sai looks like he's about to die of embarassment. [01:50] * Mei-Yin keeps glaring at Sai. [01:50] * Shigeru grins madly. [01:50] You _better_ be embarrassed. [01:51] * Eoi starts laughing all over again. [01:51] You're a college student, you shouldn't be taking advantage of poor high school girls. [01:51] Look! Listen to me! I've never had sex in my life! [01:51] Suuuuure. [01:51] * Eoi falls off his chair again. [01:51] That's what _all_ the boys say. [01:51] * Shigeru falls off the sofa at that. [01:51] * Sai blinks. [01:51] * Eoi can't help but laugh his head off. [01:52] They do? Most've the guys I know would brag about it. [01:52] * Mei-Yin takes on a deep, masculine voice. "No, you're the only one for me, Saki! I'd never do this with anyone else!" [01:52] * Shigeru sits on the floor, propping himself up by the sofa, and starts laughing again. [01:52] * Eoi is just about to get back in his seat before Mei-Yin does that. Needless to say, he fails. [01:53] *snicker* I should sat on the *snicker* couch. [01:53] No way. That's my spot. [01:53] You boys are all the same. [01:53] * Sai scowls. "I -do- like Saki, kinda, but if I tried something like that, she'd SHOOT me!" [01:53] Even the ones that are girls sometime! [01:53] Like Ranma? [01:53] * Chelsea is actually managing to keep it down to chuckling. She shakes her head, and wipes one eye. [01:54] * Mei-Yin shakes a finger at Sai! "She would not! Saki is a kind, sweet girl who wouldn't hurt a fly!" [01:54] * Chelsea grins. "Like you, Eoi." [01:54] * Shigeru cracks up again. [01:54] * Mei-Yin finds that saying that with a straight face is too hard and finally cracks up. [01:54] ...are we talking about the same Saki? [01:54] * Chelsea laughs out loud again. [01:54] * Eoi is rolling on the ground with laughter. [01:55] Saki. Sweet and innocent. Pull the other string. [01:55] It has bells. [01:55] * Sai sees Mei laughing and puts his head in his hands. "God, I'm such a dork." [01:55] The look on your face was so priceless! [01:55] I would kill for a picture of that! [01:56] * Sai looks back up, smiling. "Well, at least now I can remember not to fall for something like that again." [01:56] * Chelsea catches her breath after laughing. [01:56] Until you do. [01:56] Hey, maybe we should tell Saki that Sai likes her. [01:56] That would be an amusing show. [01:56] !! [01:57] They'd see the fireworks in China. [01:57] Yes, but it'd no doubt have a sad ending. [01:57] I think we've earned a few happy endings. [01:57] Yes, when Saki and Sai get married. [01:58] * Mei-Yin eyes Sai. [01:58] ...I don't think he'd survive the wedding night, let alone the honeymoon. [01:58] * Sai shakes his head. [01:58] * Shigeru finally pulls himself back onto the couch. [01:59] Hmmm. [01:59] Demons and sentient magic swords are one thing, pissing Saki off is something else entirely. ^^; [02:00] Uh, anyway... [02:00] * Shigeru grins. "Anyway?" [02:01] Can we PLEASE talk about something else? ^^; [02:01] So, Mei-Yin. How far back do you remember again? Nothing after Mount Doom? [02:01] I remember falling off into the volcano, and then nothing else. [02:01] I coulda sworn I was a goner. [02:01] * Shigeru shudders. [02:01] We thought you were. [02:02] * Sai nods, no longer smiling. [02:02] * Chelsea shakes her head sadly. "We thought you were, too." [02:02] Then the next thing I know, I'm waking up in Shigeru's arms. [02:02] I wanna do that again. ^_^ [02:02] Well, not the almost-dying thing. [02:02] * Shigeru blushes. "Um, well." [02:03] * Mei-Yin ruffles Shigeru's hair. [02:04] * Chelsea shakes her head, smirking this time. [02:04] * Sai grins. [02:04] * Shigeru assumes a look of long-suffering and lets her ruffle his hair. [02:04] * Mei-Yin eyes Chelsea. [02:04] You already gave up your claim, girlie. ^_~ [02:04] Too late to take it up now. [02:04] * Chelsea gets up as the doorbell rings. "Someone come help me carry the pizza, please?" [02:05] * Eoi helps. [02:05] Sure thing Chel. [02:05] * Chelsea turns back and smiles viciously on her way out. "If you say so, Mei-Yin." She winks and heads back out the door, down the stairs. [02:06] * Sai blinks at that. [02:06] * Shigeru puts his face in his hand. [02:07] * Eoi returns and is somehow tricked into carrying all the pizza. [02:07] * Mei-Yin grabs the top box off of the stack and opens it. [02:07] * Chelsea holds the door for Eoi, of course. [02:07] * Mei-Yin somehow wolfs down three pieces of pizza before the box hits the coffee table, and has another half eaten as she sits down. [02:08] Hum... which one's not the one Mei ordered? [02:08] Any but the one she's eating, I hope. [02:08] *munch* This one's mine! *munch* [02:08] * Mei-Yin downs another slice. [02:08] * Chelsea grabs a roll of paper towels and brings them to the coffee table. "So. Who wants what to drink?" [02:08] Good pizza. [02:08] * Shigeru nods. "Can someone get me a couple slices of that, then? One of the ones she isn't eating." [02:09] Dr Pibb, please. [02:09] * Sai looks for one of the american style pizzas. [02:09] Caffeine and sugar, I don't care as long as it's not Dr. Pepsi. [02:09] * Sai finds one that doesn't have mushrooms, and hands it to Shigeru. [02:09] I'll go for Dr. Pepsi myself, if you've got it. [02:10] ( Atom is tired. I'm afraid Atom must sleep now. ) [02:10] * Shigeru takes it. "Thanks." He munches. [02:10] * Eoi sits down and just kinda zones out. [02:10] * Sai finds a pizza to his liking and grabs a few slices. [02:10] *** Eoi has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer ) [02:11] * Mei-Yin snaps her fingers in front of Eoi's face as she finishes her pizza. [02:11] Yoo hoo, Eoi... [02:11] * Chelsea brings back a six pack each of Dr. Pibb and Dr. Pepsi. She has one of the latter for herself. [02:11] Huh. He's asleep. [02:11] OH well, I claim his pizza! [02:11] * Sai quickly wolfs a couple down. "Much better." [02:11] * Mei-Yin grabs another pizza off the stack. [02:11] * Mei-Yin grabs a Dr. Pibb and chugs it, then starts on Eoi's pizza. [02:11] * Sai looks at Eoi. "Guess exorcism takes a lot out of you." [02:12] * Chelsea shakes her head and has a slice of pepsi, which she munches daintily. [02:12] * Sai takes a Dr. Pepsi and thanks Chelsea. [02:12] * Mei-Yin stops eating with one piece of Eoi's pizza left. [02:12] * Mei-Yin pats her stomach. [02:12] If it's anything like being smacked around in someone's head, then yeah, it does. [02:13] Good pizza. A little tame, but good. [02:13] Smacked around? [02:14] * Shigeru smiles weakly and looks through Mei-Yin's eyes to spot the Dr Pibb. "Hmm." He holds his hand out, and one floats towards him... it's a little off (due to perspectives), but he manages to catch it. "Yeah. Part of what you don't remember." [02:14] Really? [02:14] Who smacked you around? [02:14] * Chelsea continues munching pizza. n.n [02:15] * Shigeru pops open his soda. "You." [02:15] * Sai also keeps eating. [02:15] * Mei-Yin blinks. [02:15] Wha? [02:15] You got really damn powerful, too. This another one of those things from the bazaar? [02:15] * Shigeru doesn't sound hurt or anything, just curious. [02:15] * Sai also blinks at Shigeru. "That's why you zoned out there near the end?" [02:16] Um... yeah. [02:16] * Shigeru nods. "I- I didn't want to do it, Sai, but I had to try to get her to listen to me somehow." [02:16] I got some instant training in how to avoid telepathic detection... and training in how to fend off telepathic attack. [02:16] * Chelsea continues munching. [02:16] * Sai nods. "Hey, not blaming you, Shigeru. I'm the last person who would." [02:17] What'd you have to give up for that training? [02:17] That was some damn good training, then. If what Mom said is true, you're set against any telepathic attack by any human on Earth. [02:17] * Mei-Yin thinks back. [02:17] I... can't remember. [02:19] * Shigeru drinks Dr Pibb. "Anyway, what you missed... um... that sword completely took control of you, and we had to figure out where you were and try to stop it from making you kill us, and Suzaku from killing you." [02:20] * Chelsea nods. "That about sums it up, yes." [02:20] Wow. [02:20] * Chelsea finishes her first slice and moves on to another. [02:20] So _that's_ why I was at Tokyo Tower. [02:21] * Mei-Yin downs the last slice of Eoi's pizza. [02:21] * Sai nods. [02:21] * Mei-Yin picks up her katana from the table and draws it, studying the blade intently. [02:21] * Shigeru finishes his slice. "Yeah, according to Saki the places of the murders that usually occured depended on the person possessed." [02:21] Yeah, Saki told us all about the sword after we got back from hell...what it did to it's previous wielders and what it would make you do. [02:22] Mmm hmm. So I figured you'd be at Tokyo Tower. [02:22] Good guess. [02:22] * Mei-Yin smiles. [02:23] * Shigeru smiles sheepishly. "Good thing, too, since my opinion was all we had to go on. Nobody else knew you from before you picked up that sword." [02:23] * Chelsea nods. [02:23] * Mei-Yin looks at the sword. "I wonder if it has any power left." [02:23] I sure hope not. [02:24] Perhaps. [02:24] Nothing that came from Ambition can be any good. [02:24] * Sai shivers. [02:24] Ambition isn't necessarily a bad thing, Sai. [02:25] My ambition, for instance, is... [02:25] * Mei-Yin blushes. [02:25] Ambition the sentient magical weapon is. [02:25] Well, I won't say it. [02:25] Ambition being an entity in this case, Mei. Otherwise I'd... hm. [02:25] * Shigeru wisely chooses not to comment. [02:25] He was behind everything that happened to me and Saki and our other friends a year ago. [02:26] There were these three magical swords. The Blade of Eternity, which represented good. Rei, who represented balance. And Ambition, who represented evil. [02:26] * Chelsea has more pizza. [02:27] My friend Mei...she wielded Rei and destroyed Ambition...but she and Rei were killed as well. [02:27] * Chelsea chuckles quietly at something. [02:27] The sword you have there was somehow spawned from Ambition's remains. [02:27] Huh. [02:28] Well, we'll see, I suppose. It'll take a few experiments to figure out if it has any power left. [02:28] And if it does... well... we'll see if I can't turn that power to good. [02:28] * Sai shrugs. "If you really want a magic sword, we can try and find out if the Blade or Rei spawned anything." [02:29] I... [02:29] It was fun being powerful for once, you know? [02:29] * Shigeru smiles slightly. "Not feeling useless?" [02:29] Yeah. [02:30] * Chelsea nods. [02:30] Not just sitting back and taping everything while everybody else got hurt. [02:30] Yeah, I know how you feel. [02:30] Well, you could always try learning magic. That's at least a somewhat safer route to power. ^^; [02:31] I... I don't even know if I _can_ learn magic. [02:31] * Chelsea waves her hand dismissively. "Of course you can." [02:32] ( It'll just cost you 4 CP and do you no good in half the battles we fight. ^_^ ) [02:32] * Sai blinks. "Why not? I learned it, and I don't have any sort of inborn ability. I think." [02:33] * Chelsea has a sip of Dr. Pepsi and goes back to her pizza. n.n [02:34] * Sai munches on another slice of pizza. [02:34] Maybe. [02:34] But I don't know if I have time to learn. [02:35] * Shigeru shrugs. "It doesn't matter, anyway. You're not useless." [02:35] Anyone mind handing over another slice? [02:35] * Mei-Yin hands Shigeru a slice. [02:35] * Shigeru takes the slice, checks for mushrooms, and munches. [02:35] * Sai smiles a bit. "S'true. I nearly failed a year of high school because I was spending so much time trying to learn how to blow stuff up." [02:35] * Mei-Yin giggles. [02:36] I don't want to do the same with college. [02:36] * Shigeru laughs. [02:36] Two degrees is already a lot of work. [02:36] Damn, I don't even want to think about what my grades are right now. [02:36] * Shigeru grimaces. "And how hard it is going through the rest of those classes like this." [02:37] * Chelsea chuckles. [02:37] I guess that'd be a problem. ^^ [02:37] * Mei-Yin cuddles up to Shigeru. [02:37] I'll help you. [02:38] * Shigeru blushes. "Yeah, well. That'd work, I guess." [02:38] (And together, we shall take over the world!) [02:38] ( Hack the planet! ) [02:39] I guess we're all pretty far behind right now... [02:39] (Yup. Had to take a brief break to get Mei back to normal, but now we're set. ^_^) [02:40] * Chelsea shrugs. "I've managed to keep up well enough in most of my classes." [02:40] I'm doing well, I think. [02:40] You guys had my lunches, right? Were they good? [02:40] 'Course they were. [02:41] ...admittedly, I was doing pretty lousy in my course work before I met you guys. [02:41] * Chelsea frowns. "Those were...? Hm. Yes, they were excellent." She smiles encouragingly. [02:42] Well, I must be doing well enough in my CA classes. [02:42] My CS classes are another matter. [02:42] * Shigeru tries to smooth his hair and fails. "It's not that I don't know my stuff, it's just that I skipped class- yeah." [02:42] I need to check up on those. ^_^; [02:43] How the hell am I going to explain being blind to my professors? I know my parents passed it off as some sort of medical condition, but... [02:43] * Shigeru blinks. "And I still say parents, too." [02:43] * Chelsea finishes her pizza and goes to throw her paper towel away. She ruffles Shig's hair on the way back to her chair, since he'd just tried to smooth it. [02:44] * Shigeru mutters something mildly unpleasant and keeps eating pizza. [02:44] * Mei-Yin snores lightly and snuggles up to the nearest source of warmth. That being Shigeru, of course. [02:44] ( Night, guys. ) [02:44] * Chelsea smirks. [02:44] * Shigeru then blushes lightly. [02:44] (Night ND.) [02:44] ( 'Night, ND. ) [02:44] (Night ND. ) [02:45] The thing that I wonder now, though...what's next? [02:45] Something else. [02:45] ...well, obviously., [02:45] As much as I'd love to get out of the war between gods and demons now, I don't think we'll be able to. [02:46] *** Mei-Yin has left #Chelsea'sPlace [02:46] We hardly even know what it's about... [02:46] * Shigeru smiles and shifts Mei so he's a little more comfortable. "Considering I was made to be a weapon in it? Not a chance." [02:47] * Chelsea nods. [02:47] We know a few things. None of them make me very comfortable. But I'm sure we'll make due somehow. [02:48] We'll make due because we have to. That's all there is to it. [02:48] * Sai nods. [02:48] * Chelsea nods. "Yup." [02:48] * Shigeru yawns and smiles sleepily. "I'm glad she's back to normal." [02:49] * Chelsea nods. "Yes." [02:49] I didn't know her before, but I'm glad to see her like this. ^_^ [02:49] Mmm. You guys liked her just about every time you met her again. Until she got that sword, anyway. [02:50] * Chelsea looks around and shakes her head, smirking. "All these people falling asleep in the living room. Makes me wonder why I bothered with the guest rooms." [02:50] * Shigeru snickers. "For demonic rituals, of course." [02:50] * Sai laughs. [02:50] See, Sai thinks I'm kidding. [02:50] * Shigeru grins. [02:51] * Chelsea laughs musically again. "Nono, that's only the one. I've got two new ones for mortal guests, now." She grins and winks before remembering that Shig can't see it. [02:51] No, actually, I don't. [02:52] After meeting her relatives... ^_~ [02:52] * Chelsea chuckles. [02:53] Y'know, Chelsea, I'm still having a hard time thinking of my not-dad as your grandfather. [02:53] * Chelsea shakes her head. "Then don't bother thinking of it. It won't matter before long, anyway." [02:54] * Shigeru lets his smile fade some. "Yeah, it won't." [02:54] Hm. What's buggin' ya, Shig? [02:56] It's all really fucked up, y'know? We got Mei back, and I'm glad, but she doesn't remember anything that happened. And while that's good, it also... Anyway. There's the whole thing with Quentin, and your family which is kinda my family, and these gods and I don't know what else. [02:56] And we *still* haven't run across Kimiko again. [02:56] * Chelsea nods. [02:57] Hm...yeah. [02:57] Oh yeah, and this big bad enemy that is probably the one Treasa's 'playing' against. [02:57] Well, I intend to handle the family matters. As for the gods... I dunno. [02:57] You think so, huh? [02:57] That could be... [02:57] Who, if I were to make a guess, is the same one Quentin's out to kill and Byakko's working for. [02:58] * Sai nods. [02:58] * Chelsea nods. "Quite probable." [02:59] Not the only possibility, but the most likely, certainly. [02:59] * Shigeru runs a hand through his hair. "Which means I was born to destroy it, and... I dunno. Assuming I even want to, I don't know if I'm powerful enough to do that. Can't do a damn thing about Byakko, so what can I do about the guy he worships?" [02:59] * Chelsea smiles. "I'm sure you'll think of something." [03:00] Or, at any rate, one of us will. [03:01] * Shigeru chuckles. "Maybe. We probably will." He grins. "And I'm glad Mei's back. Almost thought it wouldn't happen." [03:01] * Chelsea nods. [03:01] I was just about out of hope there, too. [03:02] I'm glad it didn't come to the worst. [03:02] I'm happy it's over. I'm happy it turned out so well. Heck, I might even be able to sleep properly again after this. [03:03] Sleep right? That'd be nice. [03:03] * Chelsea chuckles. "Wouldn't that be nice." [03:03] * Sai smiles wistfully. "And...she can finally rest in peace." [03:04] * Shigeru yawns. "The other Mei? I bet she's proud of ya." [03:04] * Chelsea nods. [03:04] Ah...it was Eoi who did it. I just about screwed it all up, myself. [03:04] But thanks. [03:05] * Chelsea chuckles. "Tired, Shig?" [03:05] * Shigeru nods and settles into the couch more comfortably. "You gave everything to do what you thought was right. Can't ask for more." [03:06] I'm always tired. But yeah. [03:06] * Chelsea chuckles again. "If you're going to sleep, Shig, may I interest you in an actual bed?" [03:07] * Sai looks at the ground. "Yeah...but it was your way that was actually the right way. I was wrong about the way to do it. About everything." [03:07] * Shigeru yawns again. "Soundproofing?" he asks, sounding oddly hopeful. [03:07] Naturally. [03:07] Knock it off, Sai. Just be glad you were wrong, 'cause if you weren't, we'd be dead. [03:08] * Sai smiles. "Good point." [03:08] * Chelsea looks at Sai. "Don't worry yourself over it. Everyone makes mistakes." [03:08] (Wow, Shig's telling someone to stop angsting. The world is coming to an end.) [03:09] * Chelsea turns back to Shig. "And as I was saying, we have only the finest appointments here at Chez Chelsea." [03:09] (S'not like this is the first time Shig's told Sai to stop angsting. :P ) [03:09] (True. Sai goes completely overboard. ;P) [03:09] * Shigeru snickers. "Good point. And I don't want to wake anyone up, but... um... what're we going to do about Mei?" [03:09] (^_^) [03:10] Well, We can put her in the room Norii's in. It has two beds. Or we can leave her on the sofa and just get her some pillows and a blanket. [03:11] However. Just don't want her to be uncomfortable. [03:11] * Chelsea nods. [03:11] * Shigeru blinks sleepily. "And make sure she has a pillow or something to hug." [03:11] * Chelsea chuckles and nods. [03:11] Alright. C'mon, let's get you to bed, young man. Sai? You staying? [03:12] I guess so. I'm getting pretty tired, as well. [03:12] * Shigeru mutters, but gently detaches Mei and stands, stretching. [03:13] * Chelsea guides Shig to his room. "Here you are. Bed's this way." [03:13] * Shigeru is guided. "Yes, Mom." [03:14] * Chelsea chuckles. "If you want, dear, I can read you a bedtime story and tuck you in." [03:14] * Sai snickers. [03:14] Nah, but I think Sai wants one. [03:14] * Chelsea shakes her head. [03:15] ...sure, Shigeru. [03:15] See? [03:15] * Sai just shakes his head. [03:15] * Shigeru sets down his laptop and pulls off his jacket and sneakers. "Night guys. Out of the room, Chel." [03:15] Night, Shigeru. [03:16] ( Note; Shig's room is a good 40 feet from the coffee table, at least. I need to ink the map and put it online. ) [03:16] 'Night, Shig. And if I must. ^_^ [03:16] * Shigeru rolls his eyes. "Yes, you must." [03:16] * Chelsea departs the room, shutting the door behind her. [03:17] * Chelsea walks back to the living room, smirking and shaking her head. "Alright. Blankets and pillows for the people in here..." [03:17] ( Tired. x_x ) [03:17] * Sai follows Chelsea. "Should I just crash on the couch, then?" [03:18] Sure. But we need to get Mei to her guest bed, first. [03:18] ( Er. Shall we just call it here? ) [03:18] Alright. [03:18] (Sure.) [03:19] [Minisession End]
