End790: (Dun! Dun! Dun!)
End790: (Dun! Dun! Dun!)
End790: (Man, I love that song.)
End790: (>_>)
End790: (<_<)
DarkLordKelne: (9_9)
 Zero: (Dun dun dun?)
End790: (Yeah.)
DarkLordKelne: (Ah.)
End790: (Well, it's more than that, but that's what it's most well-known as.)
End790: (Some people aren't getting here as quickly... >_>)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (<_<)
End790: (Okay, screw it.)
End790: (Pervy will get here when he gets here :( Same with Neb)
 Zero: (Righto.)
End790: <On Ninten's Space Station...>
End790: (And... checking versus disconnection.)
End790: Hm, hm... check a window here, check a window there...
EternalDragonAya: (FAIL)
End790: Make sure the room is set just right...
End790: Central chamber looks good...
*** NebbieQ has joined the chat.
End790: Must make sure that everything is in order...
End790: As there isn't much distance between them and this room...
TheWaiChibiAngel: *And, somewhere, a certain beacon of cute is waking up!*...Uhhn...O-ouch...>.e
End790: Heheheh...
End790: :And Janda will find herself awakening in what appears to be a techno-savvy room of some sort, replete with windows all around, showcasing outer space and its evil stars.:
End790: :The floor itself, particularly the central floor, seems to be holding something just underneath, but she can't be sure what!:
End790: :Astyanax himself is nearby, and he appears to be cleaning the room up:
TheWaiChibiAngel: ....Wh-where i-is th-this..?
End790: Ah... you're awake.
End790: We're still on the space station, as you might have guessed...
End790: We're in a very special room, though. Formerly, this was some sort of meeting area...
End790: But I've redesigned it so that we will be meeting some of your friends here.
End790: Looks nice, doesn't it?
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..M-Meeting s-some of m-my f-friends...Wh-what a-are you t-trying t-to d-do?
End790: Quite a bit, actually, but that time will come soon.
End790: Sorry about Tareen, however...
End790: She's gotten a bit over violent...
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Sighs a bit at that*
End790: :shakes head: I'll have to do something about her, eventually...
End790: But that will come after Neb arrives, I suppose.
End790: Make yourself comfortable.
TheWaiChibiAngel: I-I'd s-s-still l-like t-to kn-know wh-what y-you're t-trying t-t-to d-d-do..*
TheWaiChibiAngel: **-*
End790: :As far as Janda's 'friends' go...:
End790: :Kelne, Asty, and Ara were last seen heading towards a Magic Replenishment area!:
End790: :As it so happens, they're standing in front of it just now!:
DarkLordKelne: *There was some talk of the landscape changing with the de-cloaking...*
End790: Yes, being able to feel not so fucking drained would be a great feeling, indeed.
End790: :Indeed!:
EternalDragonAya: Nice. o_o
End790: :The look of a dull Infinity hallway has now switched to something far more technological in scope:
End790: :There are numerous panels peering into outer space along the walls, and several lights and beeping, flashing thingies are scattered everywhere:
*** You have been disconnected. Wed Oct 06 19:24:44 2004.
*** Attempting to re-join chat...
DarkLordKelne: IM: Well, it's a change.
End790: (Get the bit about the panels displaying outer space and all that?)
EternalDragonAya: Ooh shiny.
DarkLordKelne: (Yep.)
End790: (All right.)
DarkLordKelne: *Mental sigh*
End790: You know... even with the Moogle dead, something always ends up reminding me of him.
End790: Thank you for fulfilling the quota. >_>'
End790: :That said, Asty shoves the doors aside and stomps into the area:
***  Zero has left the chat.
EternalDragonAya: Anytime!
EternalDragonAya: *follows!*
End790: :It appears to be a traditional doctor's office... complete with somewhat comfortable looking accessories:
DarkLordKelne: *Follows along, though he keeps an eye on his surroundings*
End790: :Desk, chair, certificates, and a bench of some sort:
End790: :There appears to be a set of instructions near the door as they enter, as well as a box with a large biohazard symbol splashed on it, just below:
End790: :Too short to see it :(:
End790: All right...
End790: What does one do to be 'replenished', eh?
EternalDragonAya: *is probably too short to see it too*
EternalDragonAya: Hmm.
EternalDragonAya: *tries reading the instructions*
DarkLordKelne: *Takes a look at the instructions with those handy glasses*
End790: :Kelne can read them. Ara has no luck, as it is in a language she does not know.:
End790: :The instructions indicate that there are several hypodermic needles filled with a fluid that forces a swift revival of magical energies:
EternalDragonAya: o_O I have no idea what this says...damn.
End790: :To be injected, in a rather painful fashion, into the vein that travels through the wrist and down the arm:
End790: And you, Kelne?
DarkLordKelne: It would seem that you have to inject the contents of one of these syringes into your vein. *Points it out on his own arm*
End790: <_<
End790: ...
End790: ........
End790: ;_;
End790: Is there no other way?
DarkLordKelne: You'd think these people would have heard of ordinary old mana restoratives...
End790: Nyaaa ;_;
DarkLordKelne: *Checks the instructions again*
End790: I don't want to receive any more unnecessary pain.
End790: :Nyaaa is as it sounds. A cat crying or whining noise. it is inexplicably adorable. Asty will smack himself later for it.:
NebbieQ: (Wuss.  :( )
End790: (Asty: I cut off my arm today. :( Did you? Huh? Didja?)
DarkLordKelne: <_< Well, you can wait for your reserves to replenish themselves. That should only take a couple of days or so.
End790: :The instructions, further, further below, in very, very small text:
DarkLordKelne: *Reads the small text, as he has a nasty, suspicious mind*
End790: :Indicate that there should also be tablets stored inside that, when ingested orally, can also force the revival of magic:
End790: :There is a warning that such capsules will cause any number of side effects:
EternalDragonAya: Ugh, a shot...
EternalDragonAya: But I've been stabbed with worse, I gotta admit.
End790: Nya ;_;
DarkLordKelne: Alright. Seems there are a number of capsules that will do the same thing.
End790: Oh?\
DarkLordKelne: There are side-effects, apparently.
End790: What kind of side effects? >_>
DarkLordKelne: *Does it say?*
End790: :There's an even smaller line of text indicating such:
EternalDragonAya: *leans against the wall* ...
DarkLordKelne: *Reads. Also checks for any smaller text, as a pattern is emerging.*
End790: :But from what Kelne can make out, spontaneous gender shifts are one of the leading side effects. Followed by extra hair/fur sprouting, nausea, the cold...:
End790: :Lightningphesia, the Barks, and tapeworms.:
DarkLordKelne: ... Just take the damn shot.
End790: >_>
End790: Er... is there no way we can do the 'wait a few days' option? ;_;
DarkLordKelne: Unless you want a sex-change, nausea, cold, what looks suspiciosly like static electricity, something called 'the Barks', and tapeworms, then no.
End790: >_>
End790: <_<
DarkLordKelne: You've already got the fur, although I think this means there'd be more.
End790: Nyaa ;_;
DarkLordKelne: *Utilises... The Glare* Get on with it.
End790: I'm going to get Astyanax for this.
End790: So very, very much...
End790: -_-;; Seeing as how I have only one arm
End790: I'll have to ask one of you to do it.
EternalDragonAya: ...y'know how to give someone a shot, Kelne?
End790: IM: Oh gods
End790: IM: Don't tell me they're both ignorant about it
End790: IM: Please, please, please
DarkLordKelne: Seems fairly self-explanatory. Stab victim in the right spot and depress plunger.
End790: If one of you causes me to bleed, gods knows I'll be hurting you.
DarkLordKelne: *Nabs one of the syringes*
End790: :Holds out an arm, turning head away slightly:
End790: (Roll d6. Critical means Kelne gets it right! 3 to 4 means that he got it in there.)
DarkLordKelne: *Gets a firm grip on the arm*
End790: (1 or 2 means Asty is pained, very very much)
End790: :Grits teeth:
End790: IM: This will not be pleasant.
DarkLordKelne: *Will actually be taking some care with this*
DarkLordKelne: DarkLordKelne rolled 1 6-sided die:  2
EternalDragonAya: Yeah but don't you stab them somewhere specific?
End790: :Kelne stabs Astrynax in the arm.:
End790: :The ensuing scene involves Astrynax yowling in pain. Even Janda and Astyanax hear this!:
End790: ...
DarkLordKelne: Darn. Missed.
End790: That was... loud.
DarkLordKelne: *Extracts needle*
EternalDragonAya: >_< AUGH! My ears!
End790: Quite loud ineed.
End790: *indeed
TheWaiChibiAngel: ....o_O
EternalDragonAya: Here, let me try.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Wh-what w-w-was th-that? o_O;;
End790: :crying in pain.:
DarkLordKelne: Go for it. *Hands over the syringe*
End790: :The mark that Kelne left has swelled up, and looks very painful indeed:
EternalDragonAya: *takes the syringe* ...uh...
End790: ;_;
EternalDragonAya: Hold his hand so he calms down, Kelne.
End790: I believe that was Astrynax screaming in pain.
End790: I don't know why.
DarkLordKelne: *Before going back to consult the chart of 'where to stab the person'*
NebbieQ: (Astrynax needs to get a lollipop when this is over with.)
End790: :crying and yowling, much like a cat in distress:
DarkLordKelne: *Pays careful attention, then goes back to hold the hand and arm in place*
End790: (Astrynax has just discovered how much he dislikes needles.)
End790: ;_;
End790: Nyaaaaa
DarkLordKelne: <_< Was he like this when his arm got cut off?
DarkLordKelne: *Points out the correct stabbing location*
End790: For... your information, I took that... relatively well, nya ;_;
DarkLordKelne: I should hope so. You'd think that this would be a stroll in the park.
End790: You aren't the one who has the body of a child... said body has all of the frailties of a child.
DarkLordKelne: *p*T2Aya: Commence stabbing.
End790: ;_;
EternalDragonAya: *goes for the stab!*
EternalDragonAya: (Roll?)
End790: (Yes)
EternalDragonAya: EternalDragonAya rolled 1 6-sided die:  6
End790: :It goes into the right place:
End790: :And it injects into said vein!:
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Janda: Oh, you're complaining about being a child? e_e)
EternalDragonAya: *is now AMAZING NURSE ARA*
End790: (Asty: You're not the one with only one fucking arm, are you? -_-)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Janda: You're not the one with amnesia, are you?)
End790: (Asty: Fppt! Amnesia.)
DarkLordKelne: Right. Feeling better?
End790: :Falls over:
End790: :Has apparently been knocked outcold.:
End790: :Whee!:
EternalDragonAya: ....
DarkLordKelne: .....
EternalDragonAya: ....did the shots say they had side effects?
DarkLordKelne: No, just the tablets.
DarkLordKelne: Hmm... *Pockets a couple of tablets for use against his enemies*
EternalDragonAya: *points at Asty* Then how come he went nighty?
End790: :Bats at the air:
DarkLordKelne: No idea. *consults the instructions again*
End790: :There's an even smaller line of text underneath the line of text describing the tablets:
DarkLordKelne: *Must've been pretty damn small for him to have missed it when checking for any additional small text*
EternalDragonAya: Need a magnifying lense for that thing?
End790: :Yes, this line of text wasn't there before. :D:
DarkLordKelne: *Takes a close look* This is new.
End790: :"So you've taken a needle...":
End790: :"Please read this before you actually inject it."
End790: :"The following side effects may occur...":
End790: :"Sleepiness, shrinking, growing, fattening, thinning, spiffiniess, and feathers.":
DarkLordKelne: Did I mention my raw seething hatred of people who don't give you all the information to start with?
End790: :"There is also a slight chance of yaoi occurring. Please remain cautious.":
DarkLordKelne: What the hell kind of side-effect is spiffiness, anyway?
TheWaiChibiAngel: (...)
EternalDragonAya: Maybe it turns you into that Kyle guy.
EternalDragonAya: He's pretty spiffy.
TheWaiChibiAngel: (That makes it sound more like something that occurs in nature than anything.)
NebbieQ: (Astrynax: Hey hey hey-ooh, cocoa!)
DarkLordKelne: ..... Oh, yes. Whoever designed this place is going to burn.
End790: (Yaoi does occur in nature :O)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (That's not what I meant.)
End790: (I know.)
End790: (Heheh.)
DarkLordKelne: *Stalks over to shake Astrynax*
NebbieQ: (Spiffiness occurs in nature!)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (I mean like a rainstorm, blizzard, or Al Gore :( )
End790: (>_>)
End790: (Hahaha)
End790: (I can only imagine)
NebbieQ: (...heh.)
End790: :Shaken:
EternalDragonAya: Y'know, I think I'll just soak in some sunlight to replenish myself. o_o;;;
DarkLordKelne: Wake up.
NebbieQ: (Brings new definition to the song, "It's Raining Men".)
End790: :Opens eyes slowly:
End790: Kelne.
DarkLordKelne: *Views with extreme suspicion* Yes?
End790: I feel this odd urge to snuggle with Kristoph, or whatever the hell his name is. ;_; If such happens in the future, kindly knock me unconscious.
End790: :Asty slowly sits up, shaking a bit:
DarkLordKelne: Agreed. Now let's get going.
TheWaiChibiAngel: (....AGH)
End790: (Told ya.)
EternalDragonAya: ....
DarkLordKelne: *Makes a note not to see if Infinty's medical technology can do anything for Asty's arm*
End790: (Also, that is a horrible image and I will never, ever mention it again :D)
EternalDragonAya: *looks for a window*
TheWaiChibiAngel: (e_e;)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (brb._
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Need to switch out of AIM+)
End790: :None in this office. There are many outside, in the hallway, however.:
*** TheWaiChibiAngel has left the chat.
End790: -_-;; I'm feeling rejuvenated, to some extent, though.
DarkLordKelne: *Makes a perfunctory check to see if he can get in mental contact with any of the usual suspects*
EternalDragonAya: Be RIGHT back.
End790: Beyond being bruised, hurt, and missing an arm...
End790: >_> Where the hell are you going?
EternalDragonAya: *steps out into the hallway and heads for a window* Now where's the sun...
DarkLordKelne: Sunbathing, apparently.
EternalDragonAya: To replenish myself without using any of that crazy-ass technology.
End790: :Kelne has no such luck. Something seems to block his attempt:
End790: Reminds me of the Druid.
End790: You don't take baths in streams, do you?
NebbieQ: (Sorune takes baths?)
End790: (While scarring all of the animals in the forest, according to Asty)
EternalDragonAya: Streams? Sometimes.
EternalDragonAya: *rufles her hair around and flicks the leaves so they're pointing at the sun*
DarkLordKelne: *sighs and makes his way back out into the hall, absently checking the other rooms in the area while he waits*
*** TheWaiChibiAngel has joined the chat.
End790: T2Kelne: Am I the only one who finds her just the least bit bizarre?
End790: :There isn't any out there right now :(:
End790: :No sight of the sun!:
End790: :Just the stars.:
End790: :Apparently, much of the light here is artificially formed.:
End790: -_- Still...
End790: One must wonder where they are right now...
DarkLordKelne: T: Astrynax, we live in a world of bizarre people.
End790: T: True enough.
End790: T: I almost miss the simpler times, myself.
DarkLordKelne: T: There were simpler times? Why was I not informed of this?
DarkLordKelne: *Anything interesting in those rooms?*
EternalDragonAya: *uses the stars instead then* Bleh, not as good but it'll have to do.
End790: T: I suppose we weren't all raised far, far away from the cities...
End790: :He'll have to go and check the map:
End790: <_< We should get moving again, though...
End790: Unless there's nothing else to see to, here...
DarkLordKelne: *Was just opening random doors, in case there was anything not shown on the map*
End790: :In that case, the next door he walks into appears to be a food storage room of some sort:
End790: :A majority of the stuff appears to be along the lines of dried foods, but there appear to be a few salted hams and other meats...:
DarkLordKelne: *Oh, the excitement. Onwards.*
DarkLordKelne: Not particularly. Just checking.
DarkLordKelne: Right. The stairs were this way. *Leads the way stairwards*
End790: Are you done filling your pores with light? :looking at Ara:
EternalDragonAya: *rushes in from the hall after them* Hey wait up!
EternalDragonAya: Yeah, well, actually no. There's not much light out there to use.
End790: Hmp.
End790: :Following along!:
EternalDragonAya: But we kinda got more important things to do right now.
DarkLordKelne: True.
End790: How many floors exactly do we have to work with?
End790: I presume that if there are three, he's on the third...
DarkLordKelne: No idea. The only map was of this floor.
End790: Wonderful.
End790: Well, up we go, then.
End790: :The path leads to the stairs :O:
DarkLordKelne: *Upstairs we go.*
End790: :It may have been an elevator, or not, but the decloaking obviously changed things around. Keep on your toes...:
End790: :It is a very exciting scale upwards:
DarkLordKelne: *Well, obviously.*
End790: :Not much to note about the stairs...:
End790: :Once they scale the stairs, they find themselves standing just before...:
End790: :What appears to be a highway stretching straight out into outer space:
End790: :Said highway leads on to what appears to be yet another portion of the space station...:
End790: :Somewhat typically, meteors come bursting through the air bubble around the highway, crashing into all parts of the road:
DarkLordKelne: Wonderful. *Checks for any points of interest*
End790: :Obviously a treacherous path!:
DarkLordKelne: Burning is clearly too good for whoever designed this.
End790: <_<
End790: >_>
End790: I feel as if we need a speed booster of some sort to get through here...
DarkLordKelne: <_< Or we could just use the carpet.
End790: Well, there's that, obviously.
End790: Just that if we felt the suicidal urge to run through...
DarkLordKelne: *Gets it out and hops on*
DarkLordKelne: <_< Are you feeling alright?
End790: Me?
EternalDragonAya: o__o Oooh.
EternalDragonAya: That looks fun!
End790: ....
End790: <_< Like that. See, that's what I meant.
DarkLordKelne: *facepalm* There's no stopping you, is there?
EternalDragonAya: <_< Nope! 
EternalDragonAya: *runs off!*
End790: :sighs: Kelne, do you see what I mean? She's filling the quota again.
DarkLordKelne: *sighs* Come on.
End790: (:Insert 'Final Rush' music here: )
End790: :Asty hops onto the carpet:
End790: :Ara finds herself rushing down the road...:
End790: :A set of meteors suddenly come crashing towards her...!!:
End790: (Roll.)
End790: :Kelne and Asty, meanwhile, have a relatively uneventful trip... just as before...:
*** You have been disconnected. Wed Oct 06 20:32:55 2004.
*** Attempting to re-join chat...
End790: :As Ara just barely dodges the set of meteors, which crash and burn just behind her:
End790: Hm...
End790: Kelne, I'm beginning to pick up on Astyanax. He must be in the next area.
DarkLordKelne: Alright then.
End790: :Another set of meteors come crashing down towards Ara - two, to be exact:
EternalDragonAya: Whoah! Just made it!
DarkLordKelne: *Checks to see if there's any contact with the others*
End790: :None just yet!:
End790: IM: Close...
End790: IM: Fortunately, this trip could've been much worse in some ways...
End790: IM: At least it's short... and bereft of those other cronies he's been messing around with...
End790: (CHECK)
*** You have been disconnected. Wed Oct 06 20:39:05 2004.
*** Attempting to re-join chat...
End790: :Again, she just barely dodges!:
End790: :And fortunately or unfortunately, she manages to make it to the gateway, as do Kelne and Asty in relative safety
End790: :
End790: Well!
End790: That was... mercifully short.
End790: >_> We must be getting close to the end, now.
DarkLordKelne: One can only hope. *Enters the gateway*
End790: :Follows suit!:
End790: :Leaving Ara behind, yet again:
End790: :Kelne and Asty will see the way opening up into what appears to be a branching hub of some sort. There is a door just ahead, a door to the right...:
End790: :And a door to the left:
End790: <_< He seems to be just ahead...
End790: We could try one of the other doors, see if we can circle around him...
End790: Or head straight through.
EternalDragonAya: ...heyyy!
End790: <_<
DarkLordKelne: I say left. I don't trust the obvious.
End790: Ara? Are you going to take all day out there?
End790: It was a relatively short road...
End790: Shouldn't be that interesting.
EternalDragonAya: Bah! *follows*
EternalDragonAya: Why don't we split up?
DarkLordKelne: <_< No.
End790: That's what he wants us to do, I
End790: 'm sure.
End790: Lest you're forgetting he has a whole group of allies with him.
EternalDragonAya: Ah yeah..
End790: Head left? Why not...
End790: Let
End790: 's go, then...
End790: (Notice I'm rushing this...)
End790: (You'll see why.)
End790: :That said, Asty makes his way towards the left door...:
EternalDragonAya: We'd get split up, forced to face a seperate person on our own, get our asses kicked, and lose bigtime.
DarkLordKelne: *Leftward ho.*
End790: :The door swings open...:
End790: :And lo and behold:
End790: :Astyanax and Janda are inside:
End790: :It seems Kelne was right...!:
End790: :blink:
End790: Janda!
End790: Astyanax!
DarkLordKelne: *Regards the scene with suspicion*
DarkLordKelne: Still seems too easy.
EternalDragonAya: ....
End790: :Smiles as he looks up:
End790: Ah! It's about time.
EternalDragonAya: Way too eas- 'kay, guess not.
End790: Be glad I didn't use the toxic waste maze.
End790: I'm sure that would've taken you three ages to navigate.
EternalDragonAya: Toxic waste? I'm just glad you didn't have boulder pushing puzzles.
TheWaiChibiAngel: >..:;;
DarkLordKelne: Don't give him ideas.
TheWaiChibiAngel: M-Mr. K-Kelne? o_O
EternalDragonAya: Man I hate those.
End790: You'd be surprised...
End790: Astyanax!
End790: We've come to finish this game of yours.
End790: Well, then...
End790: Do you have a crystal?
End790: I did note that I would trade Janda's life for one of the crystals...
DarkLordKelne: We do. Let Janda go and you can fight us for it.
End790: You don't seem to understand.
End790: If Janda even moves a muscle without my allowance, she'll be sucked into space.
EternalDragonAya: ...aww.
End790: Meaning that you'll have to give me the Crystal first.
DarkLordKelne: Hence the 'let her go' bit.
DarkLordKelne: See, I'm not that stupid. 
End790: Neither am I.
End790: T2Kelne: The hell with it.
End790: T: I'll take the crystal to him... and try to keep his eyes on me.
End790: T: See if you can move around him in some way.
DarkLordKelne: There is nothing whatsoever stopping you from sending her into space after you get the crystal.
DarkLordKelne: Whereas we're not going anywhere.
End790: This is true...
DarkLordKelne: So I think my suggestion is the more realistic.
End790: T: Kelne! I'm serious.
End790: True, but you have to consider it from my position, as well...
EternalDragonAya: Hey. I gotta question, where's my sister?
End790: Ah, that one is easily answered...
EternalDragonAya: *walks on in...THROUGH THE DOOR*
EternalDragonAya: ...oh. Okay.
End790: T: Give me one reason why my plan wouldn't work.
DarkLordKelne: T2Asty: Well, the drama would make an excellent cover.
End790: T: Good! His hatred seems to be focused on me, anyhow...
End790: T: He likely won't have expected me to regain my energy, so I'll be able to take him offguard, if it calls for it...
End790: Ah, Aya@!
End790: *-@
EternalDragonAya: Yes?
End790: Did you complete the task?
EternalDragonAya: Yes.
End790: Good, good.
End790: Say hello to our guests... they're freshly arrived.
DarkLordKelne: *Passes over the fake crystal*
EternalDragonAya: Hiiiiii.
End790: :Nods to Kelne and takes it:
End790: :Glares at Aya:
EternalDragonAya: *grins*
EternalDragonAya: *grrs*
End790: :Slowly walks towards Astyanax: Very well, Astyanax... I have your crystal right here.
End790: Promise me you'll release Janda shortly after...
End790: ... you monstrous bastard...
End790: Heheh...
DarkLordKelne: *Circles around subtly*
End790: Why, I'm a man of honor... I'll do whatever it takes...
End790: :As Asty steps into the center of the room... Astyanax grins:
End790: :And a tube of some sort suddenly drops around Astrynax...:
End790: :As an odd gas of some sort flits about the room, pumped in from unseen vents...:
EternalDragonAya: ...er...
EternalDragonAya: Aw crap.
End790: ...
EternalDragonAya: HEY, wait a minute!
End790: It won't affect us, Aya.
EternalDragonAya: Oh. Good.
NebbieQ: (Aya: You forgot to give me a gasmask-oh.)
End790: Don't worry about it. :smirks:
EternalDragonAya: ...ha ha!
EternalDragonAya: GRRR!
DarkLordKelne: *Flicks a piece of coat over his mouth and moves to grab Janda*
EternalDragonAya: *leaps at Aya!*
End790: :Kelne successfully seizes Janda:
End790: :Astyanax grins and steps back: An even trade... except for the fact of the fake crystal.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Is grabbed*
EternalDragonAya: *is now wrestling Aya on the ground, growling* How the hell did you know it was fake?!
End790: Because you just told me, Ara!
DarkLordKelne: Details, details. *Makes for the door*
End790: Oh, this is just wonderful.
End790: :The door is now sealed.:
End790: :Somewhat predictably:
EternalDragonAya: ....crap.
End790: Now, now!
End790: We have plenty to get to.
End790: My first involves Astrynax. You've been a thorn in my side for a bit too long...
EternalDragonAya: *continues to tangle with Aya, both seem easily matched, of course*
End790: Once this capsule clears the space colony... it will crash directly into the merged mass of the Heart of Evil just below...
TheWaiChibiAngel: Wh-what's g-g-going o-on?!
End790: Which Aya helpfully gathered.
End790: Your soul will be scattered, Astrynax... and you will never return to oppose me...
End790: :Ara may note that any magic she attempts to use will fizzle!:
End790: :Asty attempts to blast the tube, but his attempts fizzle as well:
EternalDragonAya: Friggen..what the hell...stupid...well at least I didn't use the shot. *eyes Asty for a moment to get punched in the face by Aya* OW!
End790: Say goodbye, Astrynax...
DarkLordKelne: **Places a hand against the tube and sets about burning his way through*
End790: :Kelne's attempt fizzles as well:
End790: :The gas has set about killing his magic! :D!:
EternalDragonAya: Yes...PERISH, murderer! Fall down to the hell you so rightly des-*socked by Ara* Ow!
TheWaiChibiAngel: L-let m-me d-d-down, pl-please..!
End790: ...
NebbieQ: (Rockem Sockem Kopiis!)
End790: Kelne, Ara... finish Astyanax off.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Struggles*
End790: And, Janda... I'm sorry for betraying you as I did... take care of yourself...
EternalDragonAya: Working on it! *bites Aya*
End790: :And so!:
EternalDragonAya: You BIT me!
End790: :The tube blows away:
EternalDragonAya: Yep!
DarkLordKelne: Screw it. *Goes for the villain*
EternalDragonAya: .... *bites back*
End790: :And Astrynax is gone:
TheWaiChibiAngel: M-Mr. A-Astryn-nax!
End790: Heheh...
End790: <FMV!>
End790: <It's a clear enough sight, the tube rocketing down and past the station...>
End790: <A tendril of some sort suddenly stretches out from the bottom of the station, wrapping around the tube, and crushing it violently. Said tube is drawn back in...:
End790: :And then there was nothing>
End790: </FMV>
End790: You were right, Kelne...
End790: There was something wrong about the room...
End790: Shame you didn't pick up on just what was wrong earlier....
EternalDragonAya: Dude, was that a ..tentacle?
TheWaiChibiAngel: M-Mr A-Astryn-n-naaaaax! >.<
End790: It was the Heart of Evil, you idiot! Anything it comes into contact with is absorbed... and shattered permanently!
End790: Hahahaha... Aya did an excellent job of gathering it!
End790: Well, Kelne...
EternalDragonAya: ...I'm going to punch your face out!
EternalDragonAya: Hah! I'd like to see you try!
DarkLordKelne: I'm growing very tired of your attitude.
End790: I'm growing very tired of the fact that you decided to follow me.
End790: Couldn't be content with my taking revenge upon the Mage alone, could you?
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Wh-why?
EternalDragonAya: I'm just here to get my sister back, for the record.
End790: :Looks to Ara: Noted.
EternalDragonAya: ...and help with that Enlil thing I heard about.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Wh-why d-d-did y-you d-d-do th-that t-t-to M-Mr A-Astryn-nax?
DarkLordKelne: You interrupted my vacation. I disapprove of that.
End790: Because I hated him, Janda. Because of what he did to the rest of my clan. 
End790: But it's far too late in the game for that...
TheWaiChibiAngel: Wh-why d-didn't y-you j-j-just t-talk i-it ou-out w-w-with h-him? D-Did y-you r-r-really h-have t-t-to k-kill h-him?
End790: Yes! He had to die! And to cement this occasion, I'm going to insure that the cannon fires again!
End790: Aya!
EternalDragonAya: Stupid little brat, talking doesn't solve all your problems! You have no idea do you, you have no idea what Astrynax did to him! *points at Astyanax*
EternalDragonAya: ...ooh, button time?
End790: Yes! It is time to leave these idiots behind... and let them deal with someone else!
End790: Alex!
DarkLordKelne: *Glare*
TheWaiChibiAngel: N-no! D-Don't t-to-touch i-it!
End790: :And lo and behold, Alex steps into the room swiftly and smoothly, dressed in what appears to be a used Infinity uniform:
DarkLordKelne: *Storms over towards Aya, one hand in his pocket*
EternalDragonAya: *shoves Aya off of her* Sorry sis, duty calls.
EternalDragonAya: *shoved* ...Alexwho?
End790: Computer! Teleport us to the control core.
End790: Alex! Finish these idiots off.
End790: :Kelne has a stab at Aya...:
End790: (Roll to get it)
End790: :But he'll have to be quick about it!:
End790: Of course.
DarkLordKelne: *Actually going for the 'imprison any malign influences in the gem' trick*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Stays put, trying not to cry ;_;*
DarkLordKelne: DarkLordKelne rolled 1 6-sided die:  1
End790: :And he fails, as Astyanax and Aya teleport away all too quickly:
End790: :As Alex steps forward: So, Kelne... you're still alive.
End790: And I see you've brought Ara along.
End790: I intend to take avengence for what you did to me earlier...
EternalDragonAya: ...you know me?
End790: Nearly killing me, as you did...
End790: Infinity knows about you!
DarkLordKelne: *Puts away the gem* Alex. How good of you to save me the trouble of tracking you down.
EternalDragonAya: Really?
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...I-Inf-finity...
End790: Talk to Kelne about it, if the two of you aren't killed in the process...
End790: :Sneers and draws out what appears to be a slab of melting flesh:
DarkLordKelne: *And brings out the sword, aiming to lop his head off*
EternalDragonAya: *Folds her arms across her chest* Yeah, like that'll happen. Y'know I'm real out of loop with the whole Infinity thing.
EternalDragonAya: ....eeew.
End790: :Pressing it to his own body!:
DarkLordKelne: DarkLordKelne rolled 1 6-sided die:  3
End790: :Kelne manages to nick his neck... but fails to cut it off:
TheWaiChibiAngel: S-stop! W-we d-don't n-need t-t-to k-kill h-him! Pl-please!
End790: :As Alex proceeds into a standard transformation sequence, shifting from a human body into what appears to be a hulking, monstrous, demonic form, complete with claws and dark, glowing eyes.:
End790: :Somewhat typical, really.:
End790: :MEANWHILE:
End790: :We do a slight hop back in time:
EternalDragonAya: ...ewww.
DarkLordKelne: *Ignores the angel*\
End790: This will be the end of your interference!
End790: A permanent end!
EternalDragonAya: Will it rain blood today too?
EternalDragonAya: And will our pain be ledgendary?
End790: //roll -dice 1
End790: //roll -dice 1
DarkLordKelne: Someone's interference, anyway.
End790: :Rather than talking further, Alex moves to jump forward and slam a claw into the both of them:
End790: (ALL START AT TEN HP)
EternalDragonAya: (Onoes!)
End790: (Inform me how my rolls turn out, as I cannot see them.)
EternalDragonAya: ( First - 5, second 1)
End790: (First is for Kelne, the second is for Ara.)
End790: :Somewhere back in time...:
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Tries to call her blade to her, meanwhile*
End790: :Tareen was still on that elemental island:
EternalDragonAya: *ker-DODGE!*
End790: :Or, that is, the island where an elemental crystal was before...:
TheWaiChibiAngel: Damnit. Damnit, damnit, DAMNIT. e_e
End790: :Said crystal taken by Neb. Yep!:
TheWaiChibiAngel: FUCK DAMNIT DAMNIT FUCK DAMNIT I'LLKILL'ER.
End790: :She is still left with the words of Astyanax, concerning the zombification of the people on the island!:
DarkLordKelne: *Stab to the chest, fire backing it*
End790: (:Waits for the roll: )
DarkLordKelne: DarkLordKelne rolled 1 6-sided die:  2
End790: :Blocks it:
End790: :Attempts to drive the blade back into Kelne:
End790: //roll -dice 1
NebbieQ: (How much time has passed since she left?)
EternalDragonAya: *on the other hand, goes for a good old boot to the uglyface*
EternalDragonAya: EternalDragonAya rolled 1 6-sided die:  2
End790: :Swings under it:
NebbieQ: *Weeell!*
End790: :Attempting to ram his head up into the now open Ara!:
End790: //roll -dice 1
End790: (Oh.)
DarkLordKelne: *feints, lining up a headshot with his other hand*
DarkLordKelne: DarkLordKelne rolled 1 6-sided die:  6
NebbieQ: *They've been waiting for a while.  Nobody's come to the prescribed meeting place, and nobody's in the dream plane.*
DarkLordKelne: *Ow, that's gotta hurt.*
NebbieQ: *Something is up.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Begins working t'wards civilization, to begin with Zombification :(*
End790: (And that bit of flesh was a part of the Heart of Evil. Naturally)
EternalDragonAya: *friggen OW!*
NebbieQ: *And so...the two return to where it all began.*
End790: :Falls back:
End790: :Shakes head slightly and swiftly, opening maw:
End790: :Vomits out a stream of chaotic and elemental energies towards the two of them!:
NebbieQ: *Do they spot the oozey one?*
End790: //roll -dice 1
End790: //roll -dice 1
End790: :As luck so has it, yes!:
End790: :She is in the distance, though, heading towards the town of before:
DarkLordKelne: *Bloody chaotic energies...*
End790: :And one may presume she has naughtiness in mind!:
End790: :Growls:
End790: :And begins stomping towards them:
End790: (CHECK)
TheWaiChibiAngel: *She's trudging, too. She always trudges when she's mad.*
NebbieQ: IM: ...what's she doing now?
NebbieQ: *Flittering along, watching Tareen warily.*
DarkLordKelne: *Gathering up some kind of nasty spell in the sword*
NebbieQ: (Rar, family distractions.  >_< )
EternalDragonAya: *mutters and forms blazing sword-er, the dragon king*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Just watches, for now*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Trudging along, though slows a bit*
NebbieQ: *Is about to quicken her pace, possibly to run after her, when-* *quietly* Stop.
NebbieQ: Do you honestly have any idea what you're doing?  <_<
End790: :Claws pound the floor, and a brief shockwave of force causes them both to shake slightly:
End790: :Nothing damaging, but something to give them a bit of a startle:
DarkLordKelne: T2Aya: On three.
DarkLordKelne: *Ara
NebbieQ: We have to find some way to get to Tareen.  If we don't she'll-if we get to her without any planning, she'll do the same to you what she did earlier.
EternalDragonAya: T2K: Right.
End790: :Steps forward a bit more, opening his mouth again...:
TheWaiChibiAngel: Pl-please, d-d-don't k-k-kill h-him!
DarkLordKelne: T: One. Two. Three.
NebbieQ: Stay back.
DarkLordKelne: *Springs forwards, stabbing at Alex's chest*
NebbieQ: If anybody gets closer to her, it's going to be someone a bit less noticable.
DarkLordKelne: DarkLordKelne rolled 1 6-sided die:  6
End790: :Stabbed!:
End790: :Coughs and gibbers slightly, as a gush of blood dirties Kelne's sword:
DarkLordKelne: *Fire erupts about the sword as it hits home*
NebbieQ: NebbieQ rolled 1 6-sided die:  1
EternalDragonAya: EternalDragonAya rolled 1 6-sided die:  1
NebbieQ: (...)
DarkLordKelne: *Twists it, keeping up the fire.*
EternalDragonAya: (Bleh)
End790: :Alex screams in pain:
EternalDragonAya: *Neb will hear a voice in her head...*
End790: :And attempts to lean forward and put his teeth directly onto Kelne:
End790: //roll -dice 1
NebbieQ: *And so, they keep walking along, staying back farther while Qulam attempts to "do her thing."*
End790: :If they clamp on, then it will mean excessive pain:
End790: :Neb may sense the city ahead, as peaceful as it was before, has grown deathly silent...:
EternalDragonAya: T2Neb: Crap! Crapity crap crap crap! We have a problem!
NebbieQ: IM: ...Aya?
DarkLordKelne: *Attempts to maintain his stance and keep up the burning*
End790: //roll -dice 1
End790: //roll -dice 1
End790: :First roll is for a deeper bite:
NebbieQ: (I assume she is ignorant of Aya's transformation, yes?)
End790: :Second roll is for an attempted jab at that accursed eye:
EternalDragonAya: (I think so)
NebbieQ: IM: Where are you?!
End790: (Indeedo)
End790: (Kelne will have to roll to maintain that balance, by the by.)
NebbieQ: *Pauses, keeping watch over the city.  Qulam stops as well, sensing something is wrong.*
EternalDragonAya: T2Neb: In the sword! Find it! We have a big problem!
DarkLordKelne: *Meanwhile, brings a pistol up under Alex's chin*
NebbieQ: Neb, what is it?
DarkLordKelne: DarkLordKelne rolled 1 6-sided die:  1
NebbieQ: ...it's...Aya.  o_o
EternalDragonAya: *tries to stab Alex in the back!*
EternalDragonAya: EternalDragonAya rolled 1 6-sided die:  5
NebbieQ: IM: Slow down, I have no idea what you're talking about!
End790: :Alex brings his chin down, nearly crushing Kelne's hand in the process:
End790: (Someone give me HP counts here)
NebbieQ: IM: First of all, what sword?
DarkLordKelne: *Unfortunately, his balance is pretty thoroughly ruined by now.*
EternalDragonAya: (6 I believe)
DarkLordKelne: (3, I believe.)
End790: (And Alex is at... let's see)
End790: (3 or 4, I think it was.)
EternalDragonAya: T2Neb: Alright, here's the deal. Astyanax wiped the floor with me, then he sorta took my body, he was gonna make me all evil and stuff so the Dragon King and I jumped ship.
End790: :Alex screams in pain yet again:
NebbieQ: *Keeping a careful eye on that ooze, until she passes out of sight.*  Is she and the others doing alright?  *shakes her head*  No, but she's telling me what's happening now.
End790: :He hunkers down...:
End790: //roll -dice 1
End790: //roll -dice 1
NebbieQ: IM: *mental nod!*  Right.
End790: :And he attempts to let a shockwave of force loose through the bodies of both:
End790: (Color)
NebbieQ: IM: Now, where are you and the sword right now?
EternalDragonAya: T2Neb: Uhh, go ten paces north and look to your right.
DarkLordKelne: *Sweeps his sword round for another strike at the neck*
DarkLordKelne: DarkLordKelne rolled 1 6-sided die:  4
NebbieQ: IM: ...okay.
NebbieQ: IM: But, you've got to do me a favor.
DarkLordKelne: *Unfortunately this strike is stopped by Alex's shoulder.*
End790: :The further Tareen goes, the 'quieter' it becomes, just to note...:
End790: :Still suffers a bit more damage:
End790: :Huffs violently:
NebbieQ: *Begins walking north.*  She and the Dragon King sword managed to escape Astyanax...they should be around here somewhere.
End790: :And attempts to simply backhand Kelne, at this point:
NebbieQ: IM: Astyanax...he's already got to her.
End790: //roll -dice 1
NebbieQ: IM: When you find her, I'm going to need your help getting to her.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Trudge, trudge*
EternalDragonAya: ...yeeeeh...
NebbieQ: *Flitters along.*  I have a bad feeling about this, you know.
EternalDragonAya: *leaps in for a headbutt to Alex!*
NebbieQ: *Are they going in the same direction as Tareen?*
EternalDragonAya: EternalDragonAya rolled 1 6-sided die:  2
EternalDragonAya: *probably not*
End790: :Turns and seizes Ara's head as she attempts the headbutt:
End790: :Let's say noO:
NebbieQ: He could already know where she is...
End790: :As in, no:
EternalDragonAya: ACK! 
EternalDragonAya: Get off!
End790: :Attempts to throw her into a nearby handy wall, now!:
End790: //roll -dice 1
DarkLordKelne: *Strikes at his arm as he does so*
NebbieQ: *And the two pause, for a brief moment.*  Maybe it would be wise if I scouted things out, first.
DarkLordKelne: DarkLordKelne rolled 1 6-sided die:  5
EternalDragonAya: AHH!- wait.
End790: :And the arm... is cut right off:
NebbieQ: *And lo, she attempts to turn invisible!  For super spyage.*
NebbieQ: NebbieQ rolled 1 6-sided die:  1
End790: :Possibly due to a weakening in his entire form... who really knows...:
EternalDragonAya: ....nice!
NebbieQ: *...and fails, miserably.*
End790: :But Alex now, finally, collapses on his knees:
End790: :Coughing and heaving:
End790: D... damn it...
End790: Not... again...
DarkLordKelne: Hold still.
DarkLordKelne: *Makes with the lopping off of the head*
NebbieQ: IM: What's going on?!
TheWaiChibiAngel: P-please, d-d-don't k-kill h-him!
DarkLordKelne: *Not paying the slightest amount of attention to Janda*
NebbieQ: Where is she supposed to be?
EternalDragonAya: ...argh. C'mon, he tried to kill us! I swear, you wouldn't last a day in Ayenee.
End790: //roll -dice 1
NebbieQ: *Gives Qulam the same directions Aya gave to her.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: S-Stop! *Tries to grab Kelne to physically stop him*
NebbieQ: IM: ...Aya, did you hear me?
End790: :Alex attempts to pull off a last-ditch dodge out of the way of the attack:
EternalDragonAya: T2Neb: I heard you!
End790: :Tareen will find that she has now zombified the entire island!:
EternalDragonAya: T2Neb: I just don't understand what you mean! Too many pronouns!
End790: :Mwhehehehe:
DarkLordKelne: DarkLordKelne rolled 1 6-sided die:  3
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Has herself a seat*
NebbieQ: *The two begin walking, with Neb walking slowly to the back, while Qulam flies a bit faster to the front.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Hate hate hate...
TheWaiChibiAngel: ....Hate hate hate hate...
TheWaiChibiAngel: Hate hate hate hate hate.
TheWaiChibiAngel: HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE...!

EternalDragonAya: T2Neb: Hurry!
End790: D.... amn youu..... :hisses at Kelne, regardless of what's happened:
NebbieQ: IM: ...and...we'll need your help.
EternalDragonAya: T2Neb: Oh, I can give you that in spades.
NebbieQ: (Also, how much would they be distracted by Aya's directions, from what's going on in the city?)
TheWaiChibiAngel: AAAARRRRRGGH. e_e
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Any nearby zombies to beat on?*
DarkLordKelne: *Glares at the severed head* I'm going to have to burn you, aren't I?
End790: :Plenty!:
EternalDragonAya: (Beats me, I dunno what this island looks like)
End790: :There are plenty of milling zombies about.:
NebbieQ: NebbieQ rolled 1 6-sided die:  3
End790: :And there isn't much distraction, now that everyone else has been killed:
NebbieQ: (Any near them?)
EternalDragonAya: Dude, that's creepy.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Picks one* You! Your name is Neb now! eVe
TheWaiChibiAngel: *And, thusly, begins pounding on said zombie*
End790: :The zombie gurgles mindlessly:
End790: :As it is beaten into mush:
NebbieQ: (...wait a moment.)
DarkLordKelne: *Sets the sword on fire and makes with the burning of the body*
End790: :Alex's body slowly, yet surely, sinks back from demonic form:
NebbieQ: (How much did the two witness?)
End790: :Into a humanoid form:
End790: :And the head reattaches itself.:
End790: :He had a backup plan, at least.:
End790: (None of it, really.)
EternalDragonAya: ....
EternalDragonAya: Ah great, what is this, round two?
DarkLordKelne: *Does that work against being patiently burned to a crisp?*
NebbieQ: (Okiedoke, all I needed to know.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: ....o_O;;
End790: :Alex is burned: Well... if you don't want to know...
End790: How to get to Astyanax...
DarkLordKelne: *Because he's really not going to let up on that long enough for him to get away with it*
NebbieQ: *Qulam fades from sight, as she goes ahead.*
End790: Finish me off...
End790: :He's obviously out of energy at this point :O:
End790: I've a seat due for me in Hell, regardless...
EternalDragonAya: T2Neb: I think I hear zombies, just get over here!
End790: :The burning doesn't help, either:
DarkLordKelne: I think I'll work it out for myself. You'll only cause more mischief if I let you live.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...
End790: You don't know...
End790: What he has planned...
NebbieQ: IM: I'm going!
NebbieQ: *Begins to walk faster, while Qulam scouts.  Does the fae see anything?*
DarkLordKelne: *Doesn't seem inclined to relent on the burning*
EternalDragonAya: Yeah but you're from Infinity!
DarkLordKelne: Feel free to tell me, but it's not going to make a difference.
EternalDragonAya: *she sees something red and sparkly in the bushes*
End790: :Alex doesn't seem to be talking while Kelne is burning.:
End790: :It's up to him to either finish him off or relent. :(:
End790: :He may regret either decision...:
NebbieQ: *Will attempt to scan it astrally.*
DarkLordKelne: Enlil gave you one chance. You won't be getting another from me.
NebbieQ: (Roll?)
EternalDragonAya: *you don't need to roll, that's obviously the dragon king sword*
End790: :Qulam sees quite a bit!:
NebbieQ: IM: There's the sword...
DarkLordKelne: *He'll be finishing him off.*
NebbieQ: *Will be looking around for any other sorts of fiends or ne'er do wells lurking about.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Not watching, no sir.*
End790: :Namely that villains are lurking all about:
End790: :And in place of villains...:
End790: :I mean zombies!:
End790: :All of the people they saw earlier have now become zombies.:
DarkLordKelne: *Kelne's a great believer in the one chance at most school of thought.*
End790: Heheh...
End790: Transient joys... are the sweetest...
NebbieQ: *Flitters over to Neb.  While she's invisible, she's highly noticable, when she tugs lightly on the mage's ear*
End790: You'll see... your mistake soon enough...
End790: :And so! He is killed.:
EternalDragonAya: ....right.
NebbieQ: What is it?  >_o  I found the sword, in the bushes.
EternalDragonAya: ....how the hell did Infinity get info on me? I've never fought 'em.
DarkLordKelne: As I would have seen my mistake if I'd let you live.
NebbieQ: *Walks over to it, and kneels down.*
NebbieQ: IM: Okay, we found it.  Now what?
End790: :Alex's body seems to shake slightly, as it lays there in corpse form:
DarkLordKelne: *Makes very sure that Alex is reduced to a fine ash*
End790: :Or burning form, rather:
End790: :Spilling out from the toasted flesh comes what appears to be a fetus of some sort:
End790: :A very dark, slimy fetus:
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Good thing she's not watching!*
EternalDragonAya: ...oh that's just disgusting.
DarkLordKelne: They've been observing gaera for quite a while.
End790: :And from what Kelne can sense of this fetus... it bears a striking resemblance to the Heart of Evil's own energy:
EternalDragonAya: T2Neb: Pick me up!
End790: :How very odd...:
DarkLordKelne: *Burns that, too.*
NebbieQ: *Goes for the sword.*
NebbieQ: IM: So, how do I get you out of this?  >_>
End790: :And finally!:
EternalDragonAya: *Neb lifts the sword. DAAA DAA  DAA DUUUUM!*
End790: :Kelne, Ara, and Janda are left alone:
EternalDragonAya: T2Neb: Er, you don't. I'm stuck here till I get my body back.
End790: :There is peace. The gas is apparently gone. And the smell of ash is in the air:
EternalDragonAya: Ew ew ew.
End790: :Astrynax remains gone:
NebbieQ: IM: ...shit.
NebbieQ: IM: What now?!
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Not looking*...I-Is it o-over?
EternalDragonAya: *Neb suddenly feels a shock of energy, as if somebody was 'moving in' so to speak*
DarkLordKelne: *Checks astrally, just to be sure there's nothing else lurking about.*
EternalDragonAya: T2Neb: Ahh, that's better.
NebbieQ: IM: ...what did you just do?
End790: :As Astyanax and Aya watch from the BUTTON room:
End790: Well.
EternalDragonAya: *then ANOTHER shock of energy follows*
End790: They killed ALex.
End790: Or, rather, Kelne did.
NebbieQ: Ack!  *Drops the sword*
DarkLordKelne: It's over.
EternalDragonAya: (EVIL AYA) Those bastards.
End790: :There is indeed nothing else!:
NebbieQ: What is it?
EternalDragonAya: T2Neb: Guess this will have to do.
DarkLordKelne: Right then. *Heads over to the door*
NebbieQ: IM: What is going on here?  v_v;
EternalDragonAya: T2Neb: Do pick me back up.
NebbieQ: *Picks it up*  Just...nothing.
End790: :Shakes his head: They're a bit more than I gave them credit for...
DarkLordKelne: *And sets about opening the damned thing.*
NebbieQ: *And now, holds tight, trying to stay out of zombie range.*
DarkLordKelne: *He really doesn't look to be in the best of shape.*
End790: We've lost an ally, and we've gained nothing in the meantime. :Taps the side of his head: We do have a few more allies on our side.
End790: We can also make the ship quite a bit mroe hazardous for them to traverse.
End790: Any suggestions? :smirks:
EternalDragonAya: *this will now represent the Aya Neb hears!*
NebbieQ: *While Qulam looks over the denizons of the undead.  Are they coming near?*
EternalDragonAya: Make allies out of /them/.
End790: :No, they are not!:
End790: :They're mindless... mostly shambling about on their own:
End790: Hmmm...
NebbieQ: IM: *sighs*  So long as we don't attract their attention, we'll be fine...
End790: Turn one of them to our side? :indicates the Kelne co:
End790: :Kelne manages to open the door, at the very least:
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Are Neb and Qulam moving?*
EternalDragonAya: T2Neb: Here is the deal. I need my vessle back, or you're going to become the next one. ....though you're no ryuuzoku, this can be amended.
End790: I doubt that Janda would defect... she seems to be far too pure to affect...
NebbieQ: *Not right now.  The whole Dragon King thing caused them to pause.*
NebbieQ: IM: ...well, what do I do?
End790: But... hmmm.
DarkLordKelne: *Digs a potion out of his pocket. Only one more left after this one.*
End790: How do you think your sister would do?
End790: Wouldn't you want to work with her?
EternalDragonAya: Oooh, that would be nice. It could be like a family reunion!
DarkLordKelne: *Downs it, effectively repairing the worst of the damage*
NebbieQ: IM: Do you just take over my body, or something?
DarkLordKelne: Are you two coming?
NebbieQ: *Flies back down, to monitor things closer by.*
End790: Hahaha...
End790: Excellent.
EternalDragonAya: T2Neb: Yes.
End790: Here's our plan...
TheWaiChibiAngel: Y-yes...*Follows Kelne*
End790: :And so, an evil plan was shared:
End790: :They come back out into the area with three doors:
EternalDragonAya: T2Neb: There's some good benefits though! You feel all tingly inside.
NebbieQ: IM: Just...let me warn Qulam first, okay?
EternalDragonAya: T2Neb: And yet again, I find myself unable to absorb her soul. Damnit all.
DarkLordKelne: *Tries the right door this time*
EternalDragonAya: T2neb: Very well.
NebbieQ: IM: ...er...since I'm not a Ryuuzoku, you won't try that with me, right?  ^^;
NebbieQ: How are things with Aya, Neb?
NebbieQ: Weeell...they need me to do a favor for them.
End790: :The door opens:
EternalDragonAya: T2Neb: It takes some time.
End790: :And Kelne and co walk right into what appears to be a different type of room:
EternalDragonAya: *Neb may feel a little..funny*
End790: :The lightning has been altered to make it resemble a black and white photo:
End790: *lighting
NebbieQ: Aya is sort of the vessel for the Dragon King sword, but since she can't be his, er, its vessel now...
NebbieQ: ...it needs me.
End790: :Inside...:
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...
EternalDragonAya: ...creepy.
DarkLordKelne: *regards this with distinct annoyance.*
NebbieQ: ...let me get this straight.
NebbieQ: You are about to be possessed by the spirit of some ancient something or another sword that you know nothing about?  >_>
NebbieQ: It's the only way we can do this.  Without Aya's body-what happened to her body, anyways?  It's a long story, Infinity apparently got ahold of it, she can't get to it now, and until then, the sword needs a body.
NebbieQ: IM: Ready.
End790: :There appears to be a number of files in here...:
End790: :And a number of them seem to have Alex's astral mark on them:
EternalDragonAya: T2Neb: Excellent.
NebbieQ: *sighs*  Does she know a way to get to the others?
EternalDragonAya: T2Neb: As I said, this will take some time.
NebbieQ: IM: Right.
EternalDragonAya: *pop! Neb's ears feel a little funny*
NebbieQ: !!
NebbieQ: *Instinctively goes up to feel them with her free hand.*
EternalDragonAya: *they feel...pointy, and webbed*
NebbieQ: ...your ears...
NebbieQ: It must be the sword taking affect...9_9
NebbieQ: IM: Weird.
NebbieQ: IM: So...uh...do you have any plans for what we do now?
End790: :So many files, in fact, that they surround Kelne:
End790: :They've apparently been untouched by Astyanax...:
End790: So, Aya.
End790: How does the plan suit you?
EternalDragonAya: T2Neb: We head for my body. That souless beast is no doubt with our enemy.
EternalDragonAya: I approve.
DarkLordKelne: *Uses those oh-so-handy glasses to take a look at some of them*
NebbieQ: IM: And where is that?
End790: :A number of the files seem to refer to both a study on the Heart of Evil...:
EternalDragonAya: T2Neb: Up.
End790: :And a number of others refer to "Spacestation NINTEN":
DarkLordKelne: (brb)
End790: Good, good...
NebbieQ: IM: ...great.
EternalDragonAya: I wonder if NINTEN is an acronym.
EternalDragonAya: Or a reference I'm just not getting.
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Doh!)
NebbieQ: IM: Let me guess, I fly up there with my wings?
End790: Hmmm... I've never checked that room, exactly.
End790: No surprise that Alex went about in there, I suppose...
End790: Must have been storing quite a bit of information away from my eyes...
End790: Doesn't matter now, anyhow.
End790: Aya.
End790: I want you to meet them on that highway.
End790: I'll send Sorune along to distract Kelne.
EternalDragonAya: Right.
End790: :Seems to smile slightly as he watches the scene:
EternalDragonAya: T2Neb: Do you require wings?
End790: IM: With Astrynax out of the way, this will work quite well.
EternalDragonAya: *Neb suddenly has a lot of back pain*
End790: (Pause on the space station segment.)
NebbieQ: IM: Ow damn! >_<
NebbieQ: *Watching her transform, curious.*
EternalDragonAya: *rriiiiiiiiiip pop!*
EternalDragonAya: *Neb now has a nice set of golden wings! They're rather large*
*** Songstress Enlil has been invited to the group chat.
EternalDragonAya: T2Neb: Man, how old are you anyways? I was able to transform my wings away at 165!
NebbieQ: IM: Ehehehe...not too old, really.  ^^;
NebbieQ: *Stretches them out, curiously.*
*** Songstress Enlil has joined the chat.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Meanwhile!*
NebbieQ: *Flap flap?*
EternalDragonAya: *flap flap indeed young grasshopper*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Neb and Qulam may hear the sound of flesh and cloth being torn at nearby*
End790: (PERVY :O)
End790: (IT WORKED)
End790: (Gracious... stuff, and things!)
NebbieQ: *Will be checking out that sound.*
NebbieQ: IM: ...and, one more thing.
EternalDragonAya: T2Neb: Yes?
NebbieQ: IM: I have no idea how to use a sword...or any other weapon.
End790: (CHECK.)
*** You have been disconnected. Wed Oct 06 22:30:04 2004.
*** Attempting to re-join chat...
NebbieQ: (Last seen?)
NebbieQ: *Quietly*  Tareen's back.
Songstress Enlil: (So Tareen's a damned twink?)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (She's leveling, :( )
End790: (Tareen is a necromancer in Diablo II :O)
Songstress Enlil: (But does she Bot with a rock)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Tareen: *Makes a golem from the Dragon King*)
End790: (No, she bots with a hacked, recolored Enlil render)
DarkLordKelne: (The youth of today....)
End790: :Kelne finds quite a bit of useful information:
End790: :Apparently, Ninten, who is obviously rather dead these days, had a whole spacestation to himself, and used it to travel about the galaxy, gathering whatever info Infinity needed:
NebbieQ: *mutters* Great...
EternalDragonAya: T2N: So? Do away with her.
NebbieQ: IM: I can't do away with her.  e_e
End790: :It is indicated that this is how information was gathered on Gaeran subjects, in particular!:
NebbieQ: IM: It isn't that simple.
DarkLordKelne: *Relaying the basics of what he discovers to the others*
End790: :Spy probes, almost of miniscule size and non-astral significance, were used to spy on the people, record their actions, and save away information:
End790: :Said probes, deployed by the station far above, would transmit this info back to the base:
NebbieQ: IM: For one thing, it's more difficult than you'd think.  For another, she's...well, important to me!
EternalDragonAya: T2Neb: Then purify her.
NebbieQ: IM: ...how?
EternalDragonAya: T2Neb: How else? Holy magics.
End790: :This is apparently how the information that went to the development of the Androids was gathered:
Songstress Enlil: (Ninten watches you in the bathroom)
NebbieQ: IM: I know none.
DarkLordKelne: IM: Nosy pack of bastards.
End790: (Ninten went so far as to engineer some of the Androids to leave the seat open :( )
EternalDragonAya: T2Neb: You do now.
NebbieQ: IM: ...well then.
End790: :There was also, apparently, an entire squadron of scientists on the space station:
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Wh-what i-is it, M-Mr. K-Kelne?
EternalDragonAya: T2Neb: Ryuuzoku magic at least!
Songstress Enlil: *Is still missing, I take it?*
NebbieQ: IM: Guide me, then.
End790: :In previous times, they worked hard on developing weapons for use of Infinity, given the knowledge that they had of the Gaerans and other beings:
End790: :Supposedly, this knowledge went into the development of Weapon's armor which proved so effective against many of their attacks back in the Infinity Saga...:
End790: :As well as the prison cells that they had been locked into...:
NebbieQ: *Begins walking foward*
NebbieQ: IM: Heh, I wonder what would happen if the people back-
DarkLordKelne: *Has been relaying what it is, to save on the repetition*
NebbieQ: *However, the thought is cut short.  Apparently Neb is still getting used to others sharing her mind.*
NebbieQ: (Be right back.)
End790: :The study of the Crystals which ultimately led to Infinity's interest in utilizing them...:
NebbieQ: (Back.)
NebbieQ: *Following along*  What are you planning on doing?
NebbieQ: Well...this sword...it may be able to cure Tareen.
DarkLordKelne: (Sword: Did I say purify? I meant obliterate.)
NebbieQ: When I accepted it, I also got access to some new magicks...something that can purify her.
End790: :And experimentation on the Creature, which seemed to assimilate their abilities all too well:
End790: :Somewhat obviously, it's their fault that it's managed to grow even stronger over time:
End790: :However, many of these notes seem to halt past a certain time...:
NebbieQ: *Mutters* I don't like this...you had no idea what you're dealing with.
NebbieQ: *And they get quieter, as they walk along.*
NebbieQ: *Do they see the ooze?*
NebbieQ: IM: Okay...how do I purify her, then?
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Yep. And she's still angsti- I mean, cutting herself up, then repairing the damage*
End790: :The last notes focusing on how this planet in particular was very, very important:
NebbieQ: *Pauses, waiting for an answer.*
End790: :For fulfilling a plan... but the notes for Ninten seem to halt there. Kelne may guess that he was killed past this point.:
End790: :As far as the Heart of Evil notes go:
DarkLordKelne: IM: Figures that he'd neglect to write down the bits he was trying to use for leverage. 
EternalDragonAya: T2Neb: By smacking her around repeatedly with the sword.
End790: :The majority of the notes seem to focus on what Kelne read before...:
NebbieQ: IM: ...how is doing that supposed to purify her?  o_O
EternalDragonAya: T2Neb: Y'know, the fine red mist method. Only minus the fine red mist enough. Contact with the sword should be enough. 
End790: :However, there is something about how Ninten managed to implement one last, long distance connection between the Androids and the Heart of Evil...:
NebbieQ: IM: Right, gotcha.
NebbieQ: IM: I'm ready.
EternalDragonAya: T2Neb: Right! Go find her!
NebbieQ: IM: We did.
NebbieQ: *Quietly*  Qulam?
NebbieQ: Yes?
End790: :Ninten went so far as to utilize what he could find of the Heart of Evil, yes...:
End790: :But the notes stop there, as well.:
NebbieQ: For this to work, we need to have the sword make contact with Tareen.  She...probably won't like that too much.
End790: :It seems Kelne can't jump too far ahead just yet.:
NebbieQ: IM: I can't believe I'm doing this.
NebbieQ: IM: I still have a hard time seeing how stabbing someone with a sword is going to purify them.  9_9;
DarkLordKelne: Wonderful. *Scans for anything else of interest*
End790: :Nothing else is notable here!:
NebbieQ: That makes sense.  >_>  What do you need me to do?
NebbieQ: Er...distraction?  ^^;
DarkLordKelne: Darn. I was so hoping to have my cake and eat it too.
NebbieQ: ... 
NebbieQ: *sighs*
DarkLordKelne: *Out he goes, and tries the third door*
End790: :The last door:
NebbieQ: I'd probably have to resort to doing that, anyways.  >_>
NebbieQ: (Also, Qulam still invisible?)
End790: :Leads to...:
End790: (Yes)
End790: :What appears to be an elevator of some sort:
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Wh-what? o_o;
NebbieQ: *And with that, she flies around Tareen, going a few feet ahead of her.*
DarkLordKelne: *Waits for the others to join him before punching the button for the top floor*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...I-if y-you d-d-don't h-have y-your c-c-cake..H-How c-c-can y-you e-e-eat it? o_o;; *Following*
NebbieQ: ...you've been a very bad girl, you know.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Meanwhile, Tareen repairs the damages again, and...Lets her eyes settle on Qulam* ...You. e_e
TheWaiChibiAngel: What, are you going to punish me?
TheWaiChibiAngel: Put me in time out? e_e
DarkLordKelne: Figure of speech. And it refers to keeping the cake intact as well as eating it.
NebbieQ: Oh no, you seem to be doing just fine, wallowing in your own little hell.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Ground me!?
EternalDragonAya: Hm.
EternalDragonAya: I'm getting a bad feeling about this.
NebbieQ: *Meanwhile...will be walking quietly, trying to sneak up behind her.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Attempts to swat Qulam away* You should've stayed out of this!
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Or, rather, the voice of Qulam!*
DarkLordKelne: Oh, I'm sure our troubles are only beginning.
End790: :Tut tut!:
End790: :The button does not seem to work:
TheWaiChibiAngel: (*Forgot she was invisable!*)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (...Wait, is she? >_>;)
End790: :The elevator seems to pause:
NebbieQ: *Flits away from the hand, a bit higher now.*
End790: (YES)
NebbieQ: (She was.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (RIGHT!)
End790: :And remains there:
NebbieQ: Sorry, I can't do that.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Swats at the air, then!*
TheWaiChibiAngel: Why not!?
DarkLordKelne: Right. *Checks for a top hatch*
NebbieQ: Why should I?
NebbieQ: *Drawing nearer...*
End790: :There is none.:
End790: :Ha ha.:
TheWaiChibiAngel: Because you seemed smart enough to know that I'm going to put you and Neb through hell for this!
TheWaiChibiAngel: You know you can't kill me. You know you can't. e_e
NebbieQ: Maybe, maybe not.
DarkLordKelne: *Bloody aggravating Infinity people and their technology...*
NebbieQ: But really...you think I'm a fool, when you're the one being dense.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Are you trying to sound smart?
DarkLordKelne: *Checks for those infuriating instructions*
NebbieQ: Just speaking the truth.
TheWaiChibiAngel: I. Won't. Die. e_e
EternalDragonAya: Right, so how does this thing work?
End790: :There are none.:
NebbieQ: IM: Are we close enough yet?
End790: :Ha ha, yet again.:
NebbieQ: No, but you can suffer.
TheWaiChibiAngel: There's some advantages to being a freak. You could cut my head off, and I'll get right back up. e_e
NebbieQ: You've been doing a lot of that, haven't you?
DarkLordKelne: Normally, you hit the button and it goes. *Tries the other buttons*
TheWaiChibiAngel: You, on the other hand...
EternalDragonAya: T2Neb: Yeah! Get her! Blast her with the holy power of Ceiphied! Remove that demon taint in the name of the Flare dragon god!
TheWaiChibiAngel: I'm going to have alot of fun GRINDING YOU TO POWDER!
TheWaiChibiAngel: Pixie dust, you might say. e_e
NebbieQ: IM: ...wait, I thought we were going to get her with a sword, not cast a spell on her.
NebbieQ: *Obviously not getting this whole "Ryuuzoku" thing.*
End790: :Kelne presses another button.:
End790: :It indicates DOWN:
End790: :Thus, they go down:
NebbieQ: Cute pun.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Better than anything you could ever do.
NebbieQ: That's nice.  Give me a reason why I should care about that.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Now come out, you're not doing anything but making me madder. e_e
NebbieQ: Hmn...no.
EternalDragonAya: T2Neb: Oh, you can do the spell thing too. The hitting things with the sword is way easier.
Songstress Enlil: (Qulam hasn't gotten to do this in awhile :D)
NebbieQ: IM: Okay...tell me how to cast the spell, then.
DarkLordKelne: Failing that, you cut a hole in the roof and use the carpet.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Fine.
End790: Hmm...
*** You have been disconnected. Wed Oct 06 22:55:22 2004.
*** Attempting to re-join chat...
NebbieQ: (Last seen, Endo?)
End790: It always is more amusing when they group together...
End790: (Tareen's 'Fine' )
TheWaiChibiAngel: And Neb, she can't turn invisable. She wouldn't, anyway. She's not a dishonorable coward! e_e
End790: So... Aya, before you go...
End790: Press that button, won't you?
End790: :Indicates yet another red, shiny button:
NebbieQ: Like I said, throw a temper tantrum.
DarkLordKelne: May as well. *Gets out the carpet*
TheWaiChibiAngel: I'm not throwing a tantrum.
EternalDragonAya: Ooooh
TheWaiChibiAngel: I'm fine. e_e
EternalDragonAya: *pushes it!*
End790: :The elevator teleports:
NebbieQ: If you were fine, youwouldn't be doing this.
End790: :And shifts over to yet another part of the station:
End790: Hehehehe.
NebbieQ: IM: ...screw it, I'm doing this now.
TheWaiChibiAngel: I'm doing this because I hate you. e_e
End790: If you don't mind, you'll have to hold off on getting to Aya just yet.
TheWaiChibiAngel: I hate you, and Neb, and Spob. I hate you all. e_e
NebbieQ: IM: Remember, she can't get hurt...she'll be fine...
End790: I want to see his face.
NebbieQ: That's nice, hating people who've done nothing but good to you.
DarkLordKelne: *And where do the doors open*
End790: :The elevator suddenly stops and 'dings', the doors opening...:
TheWaiChibiAngel: IT'S YOUR FAULT I'M HERE NOW!
NebbieQ: And Spob's?
TheWaiChibiAngel: STABBING MYSELF! eVe
End790: :Enlil's previous conversation with the rebel soldier is interrupted by a rather notable 'ding' noise:
NebbieQ: You're the one who's stabbing yourself.  We aren't the ones forcing you to do so.
End790: :With the sound of doors sliding open...:
TheWaiChibiAngel: It's all your faults. >_<
Songstress Enlil: *Looks over*
DarkLordKelne: *Looks out*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ....
NebbieQ: IM: This sword thing...it should be like instinct, right?
Songstress Enlil: Galc?
End790: :Kelne is staring down the barrel of agun, aimed directly at his face:
DarkLordKelne: Oh, bloody wonderful. *Seriously pissed*
NebbieQ: No, it's Astyanax's fault.
End790: *a gun
NebbieQ: But you're too blind to see that.
End790: :Galc doesn't quite see him beyond the gun... :D:
DarkLordKelne: Put that thing down before I lop your hands off.
NebbieQ: Too blind wallowing in your own self pity.
End790: Enlil! We've got some intruders.
TheWaiChibiAngel: .....E-Enlil?
NebbieQ: Tell me, why are you hurting yourself like that?
End790: Gimme your name, you idiot, before I blow you to hell.
TheWaiChibiAngel: BULLSHIT!
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...Because.
EternalDragonAya: T2Neb: Yep!
TheWaiChibiAngel: To get stronger, you have to suffer.
TheWaiChibiAngel: I'm trying to get stronger. e_e
Songstress Enlil: I'll be right back
NebbieQ: *Snorts*
DarkLordKelne: *Snatch gun, kick groin, glaaare*
EternalDragonAya: T2Neb: My spirit shall guide you! Now go hit her, she's starting to piss me off.
Songstress Enlil: *Goes to see what's gone on*
Songstress Enlil: **Going*
NebbieQ: Because we all know that self injury always leads to self improvement!
End790: :Kelne's attempt doesn't quite work, as Galc immediately steps and shifts out of Kelne's grab field:
EternalDragonAya: Erm...
NebbieQ: IM: Okay...here it goes...
End790: :Galc is not an incompetent minion!:
TheWaiChibiAngel: It does when you're a freak! e_e
TheWaiChibiAngel: S-Stop i-it!
End790: :The rebel soldier sits up slowly, rubbing his hair:
TheWaiChibiAngel: P-Put th-the g-gun d-d-down, pl-please! o_o;;
NebbieQ: *And while she's distracted...she runs behind Tareen, weilding the sword.*
Songstress Enlil: *And what does Enlil see outside?*
NebbieQ: IM: I'm sorry for this, Tareen.
End790: Ah... hold on a second...
DarkLordKelne: Alright then. Who the hell are you? Make it quick.
End790: You're that Kelne idiot...
End790: :Enlil will see Galc aiming a gun at Kelne...:
Songstress Enlil: Kelne?
End790: :Janda and Ara are standing just behind Kelne:
NebbieQ: *...and now, she goes to deliver the blow.*
NebbieQ: (Roll?)
End790: :(Yes)
DarkLordKelne: *Serious glare. One hand in a pocket.*
Songstress Enlil: *astral scans him. She's used to the cloen game*
End790: :Gun readied to fire:
End790: :It is the real Kelne.:
TheWaiChibiAngel: P-Put th-the g-gugn d-down, pl-please! o_o;;
NebbieQ: NebbieQ rolled 1 6-sided die:  2
Songstress Enlil: Kelne!
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...M-Mother?
Songstress Enlil: What are you doing here?
End790: :Lowers gun slightly:
Songstress Enlil: *Rushes out*
NebbieQ: *Ker miss?!*
DarkLordKelne: Hello, Enlil.
NebbieQ: IM: I thought you said this was instinct!
*** You have been disconnected. Wed Oct 06 23:02:41 2004.

EternalDragonAya: Oh, whoah, it's Enlil. o_o
End790: Kelne an' Ara, huh...?
TheWaiChibiAngel: M-Mother! *Tries to run AROUND Galc*
NebbieQ: *Steps back.*  Tareen.
End790: Well, Enlil, at least your kid is all right... though it seems like your friend here has a stick up his ass about somethin'.
EternalDragonAya: T2Neb: Try hitting her. *says this so unhelpfully*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Turns slowly* You didn't think I was THAT stupid, did you?
NebbieQ: This is for your own good.
End790: :Galc allows her to get to Enlil:
DarkLordKelne: Don't start with me. I've had a very bad day.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Uh huh.
Songstress Enlil: *A hug will almost certainly commence*
NebbieQ: IM: Oh, very helpful!
TheWaiChibiAngel: Say, when'd you come down with such a big case of the uglies?
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Oh yes. There will be huggings afoot.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *And perhaps some clinging.*
NebbieQ: *Ignores the commentary on her new look.*
End790: You and me both.
Songstress Enlil: Are you hurt, dear?
End790: Let's start and see who had the worse day, huh? 
TheWaiChibiAngel: A b-bit, b-but I-I'll b-be ok-kay..I w-w-was m-more s-s-scard th-than an-anything...
EternalDragonAya: T2Neb: UGLIES?! Why I'll show HER!
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Tareen commences to...*
DarkLordKelne: Better yet, let's kill Astyanax and end the day on a high note.
NebbieQ: IM: Just help me get this done, okay?!
Songstress Enlil: I'll heal you in a moment.
Songstress Enlil: Kelne, Ara, are you hurt?
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Punch herself in the stomach! And attempts pulling what seems to be a blade out*
EternalDragonAya: *Neb is suddenly VIOLENTLY seized by Aya's spirit and hijacks her mouth* T2Neb: Hold on tight, I'll give you some magic to play with! Pay attention. 
End790: One step at a time, buddy.
EternalDragonAya: I'm good.
NebbieQ: IM: ...er...alright...
TheWaiChibiAngel: The ears are a nice touch. Make you look ugly AND stupid! e_e
End790: We're tryin' to make sure everything's under control here.
DarkLordKelne: I'll live.
Songstress Enlil: (Tareen: This is the suckiest sheathe eva'!)
NebbieQ: IM: My body has just been hijacked.  I can deal with this.
NebbieQ: IM: Just get the old Tareen back, okay?
DarkLordKelne: Take my word for it. It isn't.
Songstress Enlil: Does anyone have an idea where the others are?
EternalDragonAya: *kerBLASTTOTHEFACEYOUOBNOXIOUSBITCH*
End790: Yeah, anyone else in this place?
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...M-Mr A-Astryn-nax is g-g-gone...
EternalDragonAya: EternalDragonAya rolled 1 6-sided die:  2
NebbieQ: (We are cursed.)
Songstress Enlil: Where did he go this time?
End790: :Checks his weapon:
EternalDragonAya: (ARGH, fuck this, I'm going to bed.)
DarkLordKelne: Astrynax is, to the best of my knowledge, dead. No sign of anyone else.
DarkLordKelne: Then again, death doesn't seem to stick with him.
End790: (:( )
NebbieQ: IM: Okay, okay, Ryuuzoku magic isn't working...improvise!
End790: (Ah well! Let's say Ara goes to rest in the ship for a bit :D )
EternalDragonAya: (In all seriousness, I am really tired. It's midterm week.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Dodges like only a big pile of ooze can!*
End790: (Go ahead. No worries.)
DarkLordKelne: *Steps around Galc, noting the loading bay*
Songstress Enlil: Yes, Astrynax has had some experience in getting around that.
NebbieQ: (*nods*  Assume that Neb gets her direction while you're sleeping, then?)
EternalDragonAya: Could go for a nap myself actually.
Songstress Enlil: Have either of you seen Tolaris?
Songstress Enlil: Or Maru?
TheWaiChibiAngel: *And attempts to make a counter slash through Neb's leg* These aren't toys anymore, Neb!
DarkLordKelne: And I see we're right back where we started. Marvelous.
TheWaiChibiAngel: TheWaiChibiAngel rolled 1 7-sided die:  2
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Er-)
TheWaiChibiAngel: TheWaiChibiAngel rolled 1 6-sided die:  2
Songstress Enlil: We won't be resting too long, Ara <.<
TheWaiChibiAngel: M-Maru w-w-was w-with m-me f-for awh-while...
End790: :Sighs a bit: We landed and we were about to move...
TheWaiChibiAngel: N-now h-he's g-g-gone, t-too...
NebbieQ: *Dodges!  Hey, these dragons in her head aren't so bad after all.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: Hmph! e_e
DarkLordKelne: No sign of Tolaris.
TheWaiChibiAngel: I'm going to enjoy breaking your face wide open! eVe
End790: God damn, I hope all of your buddies aren't like that, Enlil. "Man, I'm tired. I'm gonna go sleep while the rest 'a my friends are dyin."
EternalDragonAya: ....
NebbieQ: *And, will be attempting to immobilize her...not with holy magic or swordwork, but with an old standby.*
NebbieQ: *A good old fashioned gravity well.*
DarkLordKelne: Although those miniature minions mentioned someone coming through ahead of us. I'd assumed it was Sorune.
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Maiden of Light is so horribly inappropriate here.)
NebbieQ: (Note: Should not affect Tareen directly, but will affect her area.)
End790: No offense, mind ya. :looks to Ara: But I'm having a shitty day here.
NebbieQ: NebbieQ rolled 1 6-sided die:  4
Songstress Enlil: I don't think Ara's had any rest for some time.
NebbieQ: (Shini knows what happens to Oozes under it.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Indeed.)
End790: Yeah, well, neither have I.
EternalDragonAya: Yeah well fuck you to. You think I want to be here? Just because some fucking robo-Enlil had to get repaired on some goddamn planet out in the middle of FUCKING NOWHERE
End790: What the fuck?! What's your problem? 
TheWaiChibiAngel: Pl-please s-settle d-d-down...
Songstress Enlil: (Wasn't it Aya who followed for that reason?)
End790: You're the one who decided to come here, aren't you?
NebbieQ: *Ker-splat?*
EternalDragonAya: And the moment I get here I'm jerked around by some asshole that's got all the moves, all the upper hands-- I'm here for my sister.
End790: You wanna bitch at me, bitch at me about something I had some fucking impact on.
End790: Well, fuckin fine
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Tareen struggles against the well, losing a bit of composure, though she seems a bit stronger than she was before. Her face does appear to melt a bit, though, and she's forced to drop that sword*
EternalDragonAya: I'm here to pull my sister outta here.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Why...Can't you...Just...Die?!
DarkLordKelne: *Lets them rant at each other*
End790: Just leave me the hell alone and take your goddamned nap!
Songstress Enlil: *Likewise*
EternalDragonAya: Goddamnit, I'm SO sick of this! *storms off*
NebbieQ: *Assuming that Tareen can't do anything...Neb will be walking over to Tareen.*
Songstress Enlil: IM: She never did take stress very well...
NebbieQ: (Shini's call if Tareen loses her turn or not.)
End790: Shit!
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Tareen is trying to move out of the well, though it's not working too...Good.*
End790: I hate it when people just blow up like that.
TheWaiChibiAngel: (How close will Neb get?)
EternalDragonAya: (Goddamnit, this RP has been screwing me up the ass. -_-; )
End790: (<_< It's happened to me a number of times.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...W-Will sh-she b-be ok-kay?
TheWaiChibiAngel: (It happens to everyone, Kate. <_<;)
NebbieQ: (Eh, it happened to me plenty of times.  I know the feeling.)
Songstress Enlil: She will be, with a little time.
End790: :Lowers gun to the floor: Fppt. She better calm down. We can't have anyone flappin their goddamn jaw like that when we have some nutcase usin' old Infinity technology against the universe.
DarkLordKelne: She should be.
NebbieQ: (Hmn!)
EternalDragonAya: (Now I know I really shouldn't be pulling a Doug and whining about die rolls, but goddamnit, I want a break. Doesn't help we're getting foiled at every turn ANYWAYS)
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Nods*
DarkLordKelne: Right. Since I don't particularly want to go through that damned maze again, I have a new plan.
Songstress Enlil: Hm?
NebbieQ: (Assuming the radius is small...she will be getting close enough to stab part of her with the sword.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: *And more or less clings to Enlil. She missed Mom. :(*
DarkLordKelne: Your ship any good?
NebbieQ: (Instead of "ARGH SWORD IN BACK.")
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Well then!)
Songstress Enlil: *There is still a hand on Janda* It still works, I believe.
End790: Yeah...
NebbieQ: (Who's go?  :( )
TheWaiChibiAngel: *As Neb tries to get within range, Tareen attempts to...Scamper out and...Bite Neb.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: TheWaiChibiAngel rolled 1 6-sided die:  4
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Neb is hencely bitten in the leg. And she knows those weren't human teeth :(*
End790: A bit damaged from that planet breaking shit, but otherwise...
End790: It can still move well.
NebbieQ: Agh!
DarkLordKelne: Then I propose we go out around the outside in it, find the center of this place, and cut out way in.
End790: It's got good weapons, too.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Just....Die!
NebbieQ: *Surprised, she goes to stab Tareen before she can bite in harder.*
End790: A lot of this damn ship is like a maze.
NebbieQ: NebbieQ rolled 1 6-sided die:  1
End790: Kinda hard to put a center to it.
Songstress Enlil: It may be tricky.
NebbieQ: (Damn.  :( )
End790: :Shakes the rifle slightlly:
NebbieQ: *Meanwhile...*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Rolls out of the way, and attempts to shove a shifting arm into Neb's stomach*
Songstress Enlil: *Tries to recall what exactly she say around the center regions*
TheWaiChibiAngel: TheWaiChibiAngel rolled 1 6-sided die:  2
DarkLordKelne: Better to be outside the maze, I'd say. Particularly since the inside is basically controlled by Astyanax.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Listening*
NebbieQ: *Qulam will be attempting to distract Tareen...but first, sizes her up...*
End790: Hey, wait a minute.
NebbieQ: *...while Neb goes for another blow.*
NebbieQ: NebbieQ rolled 1 6-sided die:  1
End790: Did you guys see Alex?
*** EternalDragonAya has left the chat.
NebbieQ: *State of Tareen right now?*
Songstress Enlil: He has been around. The creature may have gotten to him...
End790: Or anyone else that Astyanax guy mighta joined up with?
DarkLordKelne: We did. That's one person we don't need to worry about any more.
Songstress Enlil: What do you mean?
End790: You killed the bastard?
End790: (CHECK)
End790: (Check)
*** You have been disconnected. Wed Oct 06 23:20:42 2004.
*** Attempting to re-join chat...
NebbieQ: *Doesn't respond, but continues to yank*
End790: (Last I saw was Enlil's 'What do you mean?' )
End790: (Someone fill me in, yo.)
NebbieQ: *And then...lets go, flying above.*
NebbieQ: IM: Can't stay in place for too long...*
NebbieQ: ...hey, over here!
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Glances up* I'll deal with you later! >_e
DarkLordKelne: In terms of layout, not much. Purpose was another matter.
Songstress Enlil: *Nods* Go on.
NebbieQ: *Tries to shake off the blow from the rock, and tries to go after Tareen once more.*
NebbieQ: IM: Gotta make this work!
NebbieQ: NebbieQ rolled 1 6-sided die:  3
NebbieQ: (Hmn!)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Hmmmm!)
NebbieQ: (Pause to recap End.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (*Nods*)
DarkLordKelne: Essentially, it's a giant monitoring station. Designed to collate information collected by robotic drones.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ....>.>;
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Has no idea what Kelne just said, thus stays quiet*
Songstress Enlil: *nods*
NebbieQ: (Done.)
Songstress Enlil: Is it still collecting?
NebbieQ: *It goes in...but does the sword work like Aya claimed it to?!*
End790: :Should be noted that Galc has gone off to check something else at this point:
NebbieQ: (Do we go on without Kate?)
DarkLordKelne: Perhaps. The last things I know of for certain were information gathered on each of us for the construction of the androids. Other than that, they've been researching the Heart of Evil.
End790: (Roll to see if the sword works. We don't know when Shini will be on next)
NebbieQ: NebbieQ rolled 1 6-sided die:  3
NebbieQ: (Is a three a meager success?)
End790: (Meager yes :D)
TheWaiChibiAngel: *WELL THEN*
Songstress Enlil: *Nods* I know. Bebi and Astyanax seem to think they can control it.
Songstress Enlil: Have you met Sorune's duplicate?
DarkLordKelne: Not as yet, no.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *In her semi-fluidous state, Tareen's body provides very little resistance.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: *As Neb finds the blow more than enough to cleave an arm from her body* ...Y....You...Cut my arm off...
DarkLordKelne: IM: It occurs to me to wonder exactly where those minions got to...
Songstress Enlil: T2Kelne: It's joined us; it can't stand to see what has happened to these worlds and thr Crystal.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Looks quite broken*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...B-Bebi?
Songstress Enlil: The Creature, dear. That is its name.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Oh. o_o;
DarkLordKelne: T: Nice to know. I take it it hasn't advertised this information?
NebbieQ: ...I'm sorry it came to this.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...
NebbieQ: *Goes to make another blow, to the torso.*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...*Looks at said severed arm*...Why do you like hurting me so much?
NebbieQ: *Pauses*
Songstress Enlil: T2Kelne: I also sent it to speak to Mellewyn on my behalf. If nothing else, we shouldn't have to worry about the people below.
NebbieQ: IM: ...don't.  She...she'll heal back....she always does.
DarkLordKelne: T: Noted.
Songstress Enlil: T2Kelne: Try not to spread its betrayal to anyone not needing to know it.
NebbieQ: ...something very, very bad is inside of you, Tareen.
TheWaiChibiAngel: If you really wanted, I'd let you hit me with a Brass Rackets racket, or something for awhile. You only had to ask!
DarkLordKelne: T: I have no intention of doing so.
NebbieQ: I don't want to hurt you.  I...I certainly don't enjoy it.
End790: :Galc circles back around, inspecting the area, inch by inch:
NebbieQ: But this is the only way to get the sickness out of you.
Songstress Enlil: What is the station doing now?
TheWaiChibiAngel: Then why do you do it?
NebbieQ: ...because I don't know any other way.
DarkLordKelne: At the moment, Astyanax is getting ready to fire the cannon again.
NebbieQ: *Flinching, she attempts to continue her work with the sword.*
End790: ...
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...You could just stay around more.
Songstress Enlil: (Neb: Because Ayenee has really stupid white magic!)
End790: Well, that's just fuckin great.
DarkLordKelne: He's also gathered together all the bits of the heart of evil that he could find.
NebbieQ: ...I'm so sorry.
NebbieQ: NebbieQ rolled 1 6-sided die:  5
End790: Shit.
End790: Again.
Songstress Enlil: If nothing else, the parts we've destroyed should weaken it from before.
DarkLordKelne: *Nods*
TheWaiChibiAngel: Then I wouldn't hurt as mu-*Slashed*....
End790: I did hear somethin' about the guy who used to own this place...
*** You have been disconnected. Wed Oct 06 23:32:57 2004.
*** Attempting to re-join chat...
End790: That old Ninten guy.
End790: He was determined to have some kinda revenge.
NebbieQ: (Last seen?)
End790: He actually sent this message out to the Infinity branches, just before they iced him.
End790: (Tareen being slashed.)
End790: Problem bein', we don't know what that revenge was.
Songstress Enlil: I wonder if he even knew what he was getting revenge on?
DarkLordKelne: Oh, goody. As if enough people didn't want revenge as it was.
TheWaiChibiAngel: Wh-who w-was N-Ninten?
End790: Who knows? Might have somethin' to do with what we're facin' now.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Nods*
End790: I mean, who the hell even knows who this Astyanax idiot is?
Songstress Enlil: I have a vague idea who he is.
End790: Oh yeah?
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Tareen hits the ground, and splatters- and a nasty black little...Something...escapes from the ooze.*
End790: Cause apparently this Astyanax is working right with whatever plan Ninten had.
Songstress Enlil: An old rival of a friend of ours.
NebbieQ: *Oh?  What's it doing now?*
End790: Ninten was a scientist 'a sorts that worked with Infinity's second banch.
Songstress Enlil: I see.
Songstress Enlil: In any event, we've been here too long.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *It's kinda sitting there. It looks vaguely fetus like. :(*
End790: Was responsible for those Androids.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..A-Androids...
End790: True enough. We gotta get our asses moving.
End790: :Nods: Yeah...
End790: I guess the plot musta involved the Androids, though I dunno how...
End790: Them and the Heart of Evil...
NebbieQ: *Will be going towards the fetus thing, and will attempt to finish it off.*
End790: Astyanax might think he has the up an' up, but I always did hear Ninten was pretty cunning... if someone could pull something off past their death, just might be him.
NebbieQ: *While Qulam goes to Tareen, to watch over the slimy one.*
NebbieQ: (Roll, Shini?)
Songstress Enlil: You suggested we try getting in from the outside, I don't know if that will work...
TheWaiChibiAngel: (That's a call for End.)
End790: (No need. FINISH IT)
End790: (</Mortal Kombat>)
Songstress Enlil: If we put a hole in the station, when we're up here....
Songstress Enlil: (TOASTY!)
NebbieQ: IM: Disgusting little thing.  e_e  You've caused enough pain.
NebbieQ: *Before she can revel for too long...she remembers something far more important.*
End790: Dunno how stable this damn ship even is, really.
End790: For all we know...
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...*Gurgly* It...Still hurts...
End790: A sudden intrusion could shake the entire thing beyond repair.
NebbieQ: *Neb will now be making her way very quickly to Tareen.*
NebbieQ: *If she can see...she'll notice something she's never seen on Neb before.*
End790: Might make the cannon fire off and cause all sorts of bad shit.
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...He said...It would hurt less.
Songstress Enlil: *Nods* One hole might be enough to cause the air to leave, and keep us from achieving anything.
NebbieQ: *Her eyes are...getting wet?*
NebbieQ: ...I know it hurts.
NebbieQ: I'm...I'm sorry for everything I've done to you.
End790: Wait...
End790: There's also that Heart of Evil thing, too...
NebbieQ: I swear, I'll try to make it better...any way I can.
End790: It's apparently somewhere around here, on the ship...
End790: Heard plenty about that damn thing...
Songstress Enlil: *Nods* Split up, as I recall.
NebbieQ: *Is Tareen reforming?*
End790: :looks to Janda: I hope that Astrynax guy wasn't nabbed by it...
End790: Anyone who gets sucked into that thing is pretty much history, from what I heard.
End790: Yeah...
TheWaiChibiAngel: ..Just don't leave me behind anymore...*She's trying, at least*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...
End790: (Crap!)
