[21:17] *** Songstress Enlil has joined the chat.
[21:17] NebbieQ: (I cannot stay long enough to RP, I'm afraid.)
[21:17] End790: *How many of you feel lucky tonight?*
[21:17] End790: *Shucks. ;_;*
[21:17] Songstress Enlil: (*Hugs NebbieQ*)
[21:18] NebbieQ: *Hugs back, but shields eyes from SongstressEnlil *
[21:18] DarkLordKelne: I can stick about pretty much indefinitely.
[21:18] End790: *Good.*
[21:18] End790: *For today, those who stick around will feel utter terror. :(*
[21:19] DarkLordKelne: Promises, promises...
[21:19] NebbieQ: But what about next week? :(
[21:19] End790: *Next week, it will be even more terrifying. Maybe.*
[21:19] End790: *Don't worry, someone will fill you in.*
[21:20] End790: *Anyhow!*
[21:21] End790: :At this exact moment!:
[21:21] End790: :Enlil is chatting it up with the Anti-Sorune, who has mysteriously allowed her to heal herself...:
[21:22] End790: :It seems that the Anti-Sorune is a bit concerned about the Crystals, and plots to let the Astyanax crew destroy themselves... he's also let Enlil in on a bit of information, but not quite enough...:
[21:22] End790: :Around the same time, Astyanax had attacked the Infinity base where Janda and Kelne had departed towards! Astyanax managed to kidnap the angel child as Astrynax and Ara arrived...:
[21:22] End790: :And despite a chase, Astyanax seemed to just be playing around again as he swiftly and quickly teleported away.:
[21:23] End790: :Something is about to happen overhead, but for now...:
[21:23] End790: :As far as Asty, Ara, and Kelne went, they landed on a nearby island.:
[21:23] End790: :After having lost Janda and Astyanax:
[21:24] DarkLordKelne: *Is, predictably, a tad annoyed.*
[21:24] End790: :The island is in a rough state, having possibly been decimated by one of Astyanax's people. But it's still floating, which is good enough.:
[21:24] End790: :Storming around a bit:
[21:24] End790: God damnit!
[21:25] End790: I should've seen this coming...
[21:25] EternalDragonAya: T: Something is coming...
[21:25] End790: He said from the start that he wanted the two of us together... it seems he's just been using me to get to her,
[21:25] DarkLordKelne: T: What sort of something? *Scans the landscape*
[21:25] End790: ... to some extent.
[21:25] End790: Damn it, damn it, damn it...
[21:26] End790: :Nothing on the current landscape...:
[21:26] End790: :But there is definitely something!:
[21:26] EternalDragonAya: T: Two of you together?
[21:26] End790: Yes... he announced it in one of his earlier messages.
[21:26] End790: He wanted to publicly execute the two of us.
[21:27] End790: If he has Janda, he may go so far as to kill her.
[21:27] DarkLordKelne: Wonderful. And what exactly did he hope to accomplish by that?
[21:27] End790: We were the only two who managed to defy him, it seems...
[21:27] End790: We survived one of his attacks.
[21:27] End790: So he's apparently somewhat angry about that.
[21:27] End790: :slight shrug: He's also a bit mad at me...
[21:27] DarkLordKelne: Petty. About what I'd expect.
[21:28] End790: For you see, he is one of my old clan mates.
[21:28] End790: From the Griffonic mage clan, as I'm sure you know.
[21:28] DarkLordKelne: *Nods*
[21:28] EternalDragonAya: T: Poor Aya...so...so Astryanax defeated her...and turned her into that.
[21:29] End790: :Folds arms: No idea why he's gone so far as to do all of this...
[21:29] End790: I received a few more acclaims than he did due to a slight discrepancy in our names...
[21:29] End790: I was mistaken for him, and really had no idea about it back then...
[21:30] End790: Apparently, he's been jealous about it to the grave and back.
[21:30] End790: I do wonder how he was revived, though.
[21:30] DarkLordKelne: Very petty.
[21:31] End790: :slight nod: He was always a bit of a tightwad back then.
[21:31] End790: IM: He did... help me with watching over her back then, but I doubt he remembers that.
[21:33] End790: :And at that same moment!...:
[21:33] DarkLordKelne: Well, whatever his motivations, I am getting rather tired of him calling the shots.
[21:33] EternalDragonAya: T: Yeah, I'm sick of this shithead jerking us around like that! Either I kick this guys ass, or I'm going home!
[21:33] DarkLordKelne: So. Ideas on how to claim the initiative?
[21:33] EternalDragonAya: *thumps her tail on the ground irriatedly*
[21:33] Songstress Enlil: (Ara sums it up quite well)
[21:33] DarkLordKelne: The simplest method is likely to get our hands on one of these shards of darkness he wants.
[21:33] End790: :Enlil and the Anti-Sorune were still hanging about:
[21:33] End790: :Enlil having just now healed herself with a crystal. :o:
[21:34] End790: Suppose so, but to tell the truth, I haven't sensed any of them about...
[21:34] End790: I do know that he's interested in the Crystals...
[21:35] Songstress Enlil: (I cannot recall where they were in that conversation at all)
[21:35] DarkLordKelne: *Nods* Another avenue to explore.
[21:35] DarkLordKelne: (People are always interested in the crystals. It's a given.)
[21:37] End790: (It's because they fetch a nice price on the market, I'll bet.)
[21:38] End790: I do know I'll never let him get away for this.
[21:38] DarkLordKelne: I also have a couple of questions regarding a scientist by the name of Nintel which I'll have to bother the Infinity goons about.
[21:38] End790: Who?
[21:38] End790: IM: That name sounds vaguely familiar.
[21:38] End790: IM: Hmm...
[21:38] Songstress Enlil: *Arcs an Eyebrow* Are you saying Sorune is here?
[21:38] DarkLordKelne: Apparently, this person did considerable research on the Heart of Darkness.
[21:38] End790: :chuckles: This group certainly is splintered.
[21:38] End790: He is...
[21:38] End790: Or was.
[21:39] End790: He was fooled by Alex into coming here, I believe.
[21:39] End790: :blinks:
[21:39] Songstress Enlil: *I see*
[21:39] DarkLordKelne: If I can track him down, he may be able to provide valuable information.
[21:39] Songstress Enlil: *Have you an idea where he is?*
[21:39] End790: :Nods: I've heard of shards of that being still existing...
[21:40] End790: So he's using the shards of it for power...
[21:40] DarkLordKelne: *Nods*
[21:40] End790: Last I saw, I was struggling with him. Astrynax and Ara were fighting a bit violently, the planet half crumbled, and he disappeared.
[21:40] End790: He may be buried within the planet by now.
[21:41] DarkLordKelne: Odds are it'll destroy him, but since when have any of these idiots worried about that.
[21:41] Songstress Enlil: *Sighs*
[21:41] End790: Well, let's do a slight roll call on who we have to deal with.
[21:41] End790: We obviously have Astyanax.
[21:41] End790: And there's also Aya.
[21:41] Songstress Enlil: What is this planet's condition?
[21:41] End790: And that... Creature.
[21:41] End790: Who else is about, by now?
[21:42] DarkLordKelne: Alex is about as well. Another person who doesn't learn.
[21:42] End790: Nearly ruined, it seems. A terrible pity that it went this far...
[21:42] DarkLordKelne: I really should have fought Enlil harder on the whole not killing him issue.
[21:42] End790: :Nods: Agreed.
[21:43] End790: By not disposing of him, he's just come back to haunt us once more.
[21:43] EternalDragonAya: T: Hear hear, Kelne.
[21:43] End790: I get the feeling there are others, but I have yet to see them...
[21:43] End790: :Shakes head: But if the others deal with each other... then the Crystals can be used to heal this world again.
[21:43] End790: If slowly.
[21:43] Songstress Enlil: (Hey, how was she susposed to know that the Creature can planewalk? Not like he was enver in Knossis before. :()
[21:44] End790: That's the only hope I can give for the world at this point.
[21:44] Songstress Enlil: Perhaps.
[21:44] End790: (I never said I was blaming Enlil for it getting there.)
[21:44] DarkLordKelne: Oh, they'll show up at some inopportune moment.
[21:45] Songstress Enlil: I'm tempted to draw myself further into Mellewyn's debt now. >.>
[21:45] End790: Hm...
[21:45] End790: I should be returning now...
[21:45] End790: :Suddenly!:
[21:45] End790: :The energy that Kelne and Ara could feel ever so slightly... somewhere... suddenly seems to be gathering high above them...:
[21:45] End790: :Enlil can feel this, as well...!:
[21:46] End790: :Some sort of energy is gathering:
[21:46] EternalDragonAya: T: Actually, I'm hoping for the "show up and save our asses" sort of mo--whoaaaaah
[21:46] EternalDragonAya: *looks up*
[21:46] Songstress Enlil: *Looks upwards, and scans it*
[21:46] DarkLordKelne: Speak of whichever idiot...
[21:46] DarkLordKelne: *Looks upwards as well*
[21:46] End790: <_<
[21:46] End790: :Looks up!:
[21:47] End790: :It appears to be a grand mixture of the energies of six elemental crystals...:
[21:47] End790: :Forming something akin to an opening in Mu... but not exactly:
[21:47] EternalDragonAya: T: Holy crapola.
[21:47] DarkLordKelne: IM: Wonderful.
[21:47] End790: :With it comes a message... a transmission!:
[21:48] End790: "Hello, friends... I'm sure all of you are familiar with me by now..."
[21:48] End790: ... what the hell is he doing?
[21:48] End790: He never said anything about this...
[21:48] DarkLordKelne: No, don't tell me - Pastanax, right?
[21:48] End790: "I informed you some time ago of a 24 hour countdown..."
[21:48] Songstress Enlil: ...Are they ALL obsessed with the void?
[21:48] End790: "Recent events have caused me to decide to shorten our playtime here..."
[21:48] End790: He never said anything about any Void...
[21:49] End790: He only mentioned something about that lizard world...
[21:49] End790: ...
[21:49] End790: "Which means that you will have only moments to adjust to the event that is coming within a few moments!"
[21:49] End790: IM: ...
[21:49] End790: "Might I add, however..."
[21:49] End790: "That Janda is within my grasp, now..."
[21:49] End790: "Those who wish to see her alive..."
[21:49] EternalDragonAya: T: HAH! YOU USED MOMENTS TWICE!
[21:50] Songstress Enlil: *Sighs*
[21:50] End790: "They will bring the Crystals to me."
[21:50] End790: (Enlil: Not again!)
[21:50] End790: "If I do not see them soon..."
[21:50] End790: "Then she will die."
[21:50] End790: "That... I can assure you of."
[21:50] Songstress Enlil: (Precisely, this is the fifth time :( )
[21:51] End790: :Suddenly!:
[21:51] DarkLordKelne: Oh dear gods, the originality...
[21:51] EternalDragonAya: T: Isn't he going to kill her anyways? Isn't it moot?
[21:51] End790: :The entire sky is filled with a crackling star of energy that slowly expands...:
[21:51] End790: Naturally...
[21:51] End790: It's a trap either way...
[21:51] End790: .... shit.
[21:51] End790: <FMV!>
[21:51] EternalDragonAya: .....
[21:51] DarkLordKelne: Do these people go to some sort of secret training facility or something? Because finding it and destroying it would make our lives so much easier.
[21:52] End790: :From far up in space, a space station of some sort lights up, the Crystals in a core room already working violently...:
[21:52] End790: :The star of energy suddenly expands over the entire planetoid and causes the entire world to tremble:
[21:53] End790: :Those still on the planet find themselves temporarily held in thrall to the same energy that moves the planet...:
[21:53] End790: :Before it comes into contact with another world entirely:
[21:53] End790: :And... predictably... they crash together:
[21:53] End790: :SMASHO:
[21:53] End790: </FMV>
[21:54] End790: :This event essentially breaks a few things...:
[21:54] End790: (I want you three to roll. :D)
[21:54] End790: (D6.)
[21:54] DarkLordKelne: DarkLordKelne rolled 1 6-sided die:  2
[21:54] Songstress Enlil: SongstressEnlil rolled 1 6-sided die:  5
[21:54] EternalDragonAya: EternalDragonAya rolled 1 6-sided die:  5
[21:55] End790: :Despite the shock, Enlil is able to keep her gravity intact.:
[21:56] End790: :Giving her a good, ample chance to inspect the new territory...:
[21:56] Songstress Enlil: *Looks to Anti-Sorune* A question for you. What are you going to do? I may have a greater task for you.
[21:56] End790: :Ara, much the same, though the island they were on has now grounded itself:
[21:56] End790: :Unfortunately, Kelne's sense of gravity does not remain intact, and he finds himself walking on air. Upside down.:
[21:57] End790: :The Anti-Sorune appears to be in a current state of shock:
[21:57] EternalDragonAya: *seeing Kelne doing this, Ara digs her claws into the ground now* o___o
[21:57] DarkLordKelne: .....
[21:57] End790: :As he is not quite responding to Enlil. :D!:
[21:57] Songstress Enlil: *Shakes him*
[21:57] End790: :Zzk!:
[21:57] End790: :Eyes blip in and out as he slowly seems to regain focus:
[21:57] End790: ...
[21:58] End790: ... what...
[21:58] End790: What the hell just happened...?!
[21:58] DarkLordKelne: 9.9 Just when you think the day can't get any more random...
[21:58] End790: :Asty, meanwhile, has gotten the worst of it!:
[21:58] End790: :As he is, apparently, nowhere ot be seen :(:
[21:58] Songstress Enlil: I'm not entirely certain.
[21:58] End790: :Oh wait, never mind:
[21:59] End790: :He's hanging horizontally off that tree:
[21:59] End790: I am going to get Astyanax.
[21:59] End790: I am going to get him, yes I am.
[21:59] Songstress Enlil: But, I have a task for you if you don't have more important things to do.
[21:59] End790: :Shakes head: I had no idea he would abuse the energies like that...
[21:59] EternalDragonAya: Dude...gravity got...as a frien of mine would put it...Fuxxored.
[22:00] End790: He may be suspicious if I spend too much time out without reporting... :gives her a wary glance: If this has anything to do with preventing further abuse, I'm listening.
[22:00] Songstress Enlil: (OW ;_;)
[22:00] End790: Someone help me, goddamnit!
[22:00] EternalDragonAya: *tries walking around*
[22:00] End790: (Dude!)
[22:00] End790: (You hurt Pervy's brain.)
[22:00] EternalDragonAya: (HAH!)
[22:00] Songstress Enlil: Yes, in a way.
[22:00] EternalDragonAya: (TAKE THAT!)
[22:00] End790: :She finds herself able to move around relatively well:
[22:00] Songstress Enlil: (That's not something to be proud of :( )
[22:00] End790: :Suddenly... uh oh!:
[22:00] End790: "Well... that was enjoyable!"
[22:00] DarkLordKelne: Screw this. *Gets out the carpet*
[22:01] End790: :Up in the space station, Astyanax and Aya are still at the controls:
[22:01] End790: Aya. Do you see this button?
[22:01] EternalDragonAya: Yessss?
[22:01] End790: :Indicates a hot pink button:
[22:01] EternalDragonAya: Oooh.
[22:01] End790: I've tampered around with it.
[22:01] EternalDragonAya: Do I get to push that one too?
[22:01] End790: It seems to have some interesting results...
[22:01] DarkLordKelne: *And keeps a firm grip on it while he stalks over towards Astrynax.*
[22:01] End790: Yes, go right ahead!
[22:01] EternalDragonAya: *PUSH BUTAN*
[22:01] End790: I'm listening.
[22:01] DarkLordKelne: *Just in case anything happens to gravity again...*
[22:01] End790: (Everyone roll. AGAIN)
[22:02] Songstress Enlil: SongstressEnlil rolled 1 6-sided die:  3
[22:02] DarkLordKelne: DarkLordKelne rolled 1 6-sided die:  3
[22:02] End790: :Shakes head a bit, as if disposing of any further shock:
[22:03] *** NebbieQ has left the chat.
[22:04] Songstress Enlil: (Test)
[22:04] Songstress Enlil: (I thought so)
[22:04] EternalDragonAya: EternalDragonAya rolled 1 6-sided die:  6
[22:04] End790: (Kate didn't roll, yet.)
[22:04] End790: (There we go)
[22:04] End790: :In a shocking turn of events...:
[22:04] End790: :Enlil and Kelne find themselves losing a few inches in height :(:
[22:05] EternalDragonAya: .....
[22:05] End790: :They appear to now be a bit shorter.:
[22:05] DarkLordKelne: .....
[22:05] Songstress Enlil: *Well shit :( *
[22:05] End790: :They both also have cat ears.:
[22:05] End790: :Kelne, particularly, has a wai fluffy tail.:
[22:05] Songstress Enlil: *Again*
[22:05] DarkLordKelne: You know, I'm going to kill that moron several times for this.
[22:05] End790: :It is the curse of the catboy.:
[22:05] Songstress Enlil: *She hurriedly removes her pearl brooch and hands it to Anti Sorune*
[22:05] End790: :blinks:
[22:05] DarkLordKelne: >_> ..........
[22:05] End790: I honestly don't know what the hell that was.
[22:06] End790: :Asty has suffered the worst. Again!:
[22:06] DarkLordKelne: *Tail twitches in irritation*
[22:06] End790: :As he could now be compared to Kris in terms of height ;_;:
[22:06] End790: :And also, the fact that he has the cat ears and tail:
[22:06] End790: :He looks oddly adorable now.:
[22:07] End790: :Astrynax looks about ready to collapse by now:
[22:07] DarkLordKelne: *Isn't in an 'Aw, look at the adorable kitty' mood right now.*
[22:07] EternalDragonAya: o__O
[22:07] End790: That does it.
[22:07] End790: He dies.
[22:07] EternalDragonAya: T: Awwww.
[22:07] End790: :Speaks in an adorable chibi voice, no less!:
[22:07] EternalDragonAya: Where's the sex change button?
[22:07] End790: :This only makes him angrier:
[22:07] DarkLordKelne: <_< Not another word out of you.
[22:07] End790: Let's see...
[22:07] Songstress Enlil: Take this, and say Alusae Mellewyn. He will take you to his Court. Once there, explain I gave this to you, and tell him everything. Tell him I wish for him to repeat what he did for Father at the Infinity Homeworld; on my debt. 
[22:07] DarkLordKelne: Come on. I refuse to stand around and provide amusement for that idiot.
[22:08] End790: All right. Let's think.
[22:08] End790: :Furrows little kitty brow: He said to bring the crystals to his location...
[22:08] End790: And he's apparently up in the atmosphere.
[22:08] Songstress Enlil: It will deal with the collateral damage, if nothing else.
[22:08] End790: We need some way to get up to that space station.
[22:08] DarkLordKelne: *Hops onto the carpet, keeping a firm grip on it*
[22:08] EternalDragonAya: T: I'm not equipped for going into space, I don't think.
[22:08] EternalDragonAya: T: Air gets rather thin.
[22:08] End790: :looks towards Enlil: Given what I've learned of this Mellewyn, I'm not entirely sure I'd want anything to do with him.
[22:09] Songstress Enlil: Trust me, this is the best way. The debt shall fall to me.
[22:09] End790: (Oops! Scratch out 'space station')
[22:09] DarkLordKelne: Indeed. If you can provide a bubble of air, Astrynax, we might be able to manage.
[22:09] End790: (Replace with 'get up to whereever he is' )
[22:09] End790: Hm...
[22:09] End790: We need something to throw him off, though.
[22:10] End790: He said he wanted the crystals...
[22:10] EternalDragonAya: T: A distraction?
[22:10] End790: If we could get some sort of fake Crystal...
[22:10] End790: Is there any reason you aren't doing this? :Given this stance, you can't blame him for asking. :(:
[22:10] End790: :Plus, he's not buddy-buddy with Enlil.:
[22:10] DarkLordKelne: *Rummages in his pockets. He enchanted all sorts of stuff during the original trip to Doma...*
[22:11] Songstress Enlil: Because, I have to be here and find Janda. But, if it must be that way...I'll go.
[22:11] DarkLordKelne: *Produces a globe of glass. It seems to be enchanted with a considerable amount of light energy.*
[22:12] DarkLordKelne: About the closest I've got at the moment.
[22:12] Songstress Enlil: The choice is your own.
[22:12] End790: It will have to do.
[22:12] End790: I've barely any energy left in this body, as it stands... I feel as if I were about to crumble into dust!
[22:13] End790: But I can generate a bubble if you so require it...
[22:13] End790: Will just require a slight modification of my shield spell.
[22:13] Songstress Enlil: But, we don't have much time...
[22:13] DarkLordKelne: We will, I think. If he's at any great altitude.
[22:14] End790: Yes, I know. That bastard is likely planning to do something along those lines again...
[22:14] EternalDragonAya: T: Yeah.
[22:14] EternalDragonAya: T: Breathing gets kinda hard and all.
[22:14] DarkLordKelne: *Sticks the globe back in a pocket, after doing a bit of fiddling with it.*
[22:15] DarkLordKelne: *Its energies now approximate those of a crystal a bit more closely, though any close-up examination will make the fake obvious.*
[22:16] End790: All right.
[22:16] End790: Seems good...
[22:16] DarkLordKelne: (brb - food.)
[22:19] End790: Oh...
[22:20] Songstress Enlil: *Waits, glancing up impatiently. Earflick*
[22:21] End790: Fine. If this expedites the process any more...
[22:21] End790: Then I'll go ahead with it. I trust you'll be heading right for the thick of it.
[22:22] Songstress Enlil: Yes, unfortunately.
[22:22] End790: :And, as if right on time...:
[22:22] DarkLordKelne: (back)
[22:22] Songstress Enlil: First, I'll try to find my companion whom I was with.
[22:22] End790: :Galc's airship appears not too far away, battered, bruised... but still on a steady course!:
[22:22] End790: :He doesn't abandon his charges. :( Not this soldier!:
[22:22] End790: :Looks back slightly:
[22:23] End790: Hm.
[22:23] Songstress Enlil: (Whom is he approaching?)
[22:23] End790: (Enlil and the Android.)
[22:23] End790: (Given that Enlil's the one he's been heading towards this entire time. :D)
[22:23] DarkLordKelne: *Awaits the construction of the air shell*
[22:23] Songstress Enlil: That...would be him.
[22:23] End790: :Astrynax grimaces: I could still use a bit help...
[22:23] End790: In getting off of the tree.
[22:23] Songstress Enlil: *Smiles* A small boon, at least.
[22:24] End790: If you'll notice, I'm still stuck here.
[22:24] End790: I see.
[22:24] EternalDragonAya: o_o
[22:24] End790: Infinity, it seems.
[22:24] EternalDragonAya: *walks over and plucks Asty off*
[22:24] Songstress Enlil: IM: I wonder how he weathered all this.
[22:24] End790: I'd watch out for the rebel faction, then.
[22:24] End790: They've been working with Alex... they've assisted in quite a bit of the attacks going on.
[22:24] DarkLordKelne: Oh, for gods' sake. You can fly, can't you?
[22:24] EternalDragonAya: *like he was an apple*
[22:24] Songstress Enlil: Being?
[22:24] EternalDragonAya: T: Hee hee.
[22:25] Songstress Enlil: (Kate: So she twisted him around after firmly grasping his middle?)
[22:25] End790: :shakes fists in an irritatedly chibi way: Didn't I just say that I was nearly out of energy?!
[22:25] End790: I'm the one who's had an arm bloody well torn off, I think I can have some leeway!
[22:25] Songstress Enlil: *Nods* Those, I see.
[22:25] Songstress Enlil: Thank you.
[22:25] Songstress Enlil: I'll go join him now.
[22:25] DarkLordKelne: Fine, fine. *floats over* Let's get on with this.
[22:25] End790: Yes.
[22:26] End790: :Sighs, and says the words!:
[22:26] End790: Allusae Mellewyn.
[22:26] End790: And you stop your laughing!
[22:26] Songstress Enlil: *Takes to the air, pocketing her new crystal*
[22:26] Songstress Enlil: *And...Anti-Sorune fades away*
[22:26] End790: :Puts arms out and begins concentrating!:
[22:26] End790: :fades away!:
[22:27] EternalDragonAya: T: You're really cute when you're angry like that, you know?
[22:27] End790: Enlil! :Galc is hanging out of the ship, apparently in auto-pilot: Just what the hell is going out on here?
[22:27] End790: I nearly crashed from what just happened!
[22:27] Songstress Enlil: I'm hardly sure myself!
[22:27] Songstress Enlil: *Is there an open bay door?*
[22:27] End790: Shush!
[22:27] End790: -V-
[22:28] End790: :Yes! The one he is currently hanging out of. :D:
[22:28] Songstress Enlil: *Makes for it*
[22:28] End790: Astrynax and a dragon girl of some sort stopped by briefly, but they seemed to be talking about...
[22:28] End790: .... what was it?
[22:28] End790: Something about a Mary Sue, and then something about rescuing this Janda girl.
[22:29] Songstress Enlil: *Lands*
[22:29] Songstress Enlil: I see. I know that Astyanax has Janda, who is my daughter.
[22:29] End790: So that bastard's still around, huh?
[22:29] End790: You have any idea where he might be now?
[22:29] Songstress Enlil: Yes, sadly.
[22:30] End790: :Concentrate concentrate!:
[22:30] End790: :A bubble of oxygen slowly expands around the trio:
[22:30] Songstress Enlil: Only a vague suspicion he would be among that. *Gestures upwards*
[22:30] End790: .... huh.
[22:30] End790: He must be in that spaceship, then.
[22:30] End790: Or space station, whatever the hell they're calling it, now.
[22:31] Songstress Enlil: We'll simply agree it is a problem and leave it at that.
[22:31] End790: :Moves towards the controls: If that's the case, then we gotta get moving.
[22:31] Songstress Enlil: *Walks along* Are you hurt?
[22:31] DarkLordKelne: *Waits for it to get large enough to enclose all of them*
[22:32] End790: Yeah. :He indicates several bloodied marks on his body, especially where his uniform has been torn. He also has a few bandages wrapped around a back part of his head.:
[22:32] End790: I've had worse.
[22:32] Songstress Enlil: Let me see if I can treat you with this.
[22:32] End790: I could use a cigar about now, though. Shit, I'm getting all angsty.
[22:32] End790: Huh?
[22:32] Songstress Enlil: *Takes out the healing crystal*
[22:32] End790: :Energy focus energy focus...:
[22:32] Songstress Enlil: Do you know how to use this?
[22:33] End790: :Finally!:
[22:33] End790: :It expands all around them!:
[22:33] End790: :GIving them a just barely visible oxygen bubble of sorts.:
[22:33] End790: I get the feeling I should, but I banged my head around a bit, so...
[22:34] Songstress Enlil: Let me see if it works by proxy, then. *Puts it against an unwounded portion of his arm, and concentrates*
[22:34] DarkLordKelne: Let's go, then. *Leads the way, making sure tostay close to the others*
[22:34] End790: (Pervy rolls)
[22:35] Songstress Enlil: SongstressEnlil rolled 1 6-sided die:  6
[22:35] End790: :Asty insures that the bubble is maintained, and he moves right along with Kelne:
[22:35] Songstress Enlil: (Wee lag!)
[22:35] End790: :LN, meanwhile, is caught in a sweep of healing wind as many of his wounds are quickly and speedily healed up :O:
[22:36] End790: (What the?)
[22:36] End790: (Shit. I mean Galc.)
[22:36] End790: (Where'd that come from?)
[22:36] EternalDragonAya: *Ara, of course, detransforms and joins Kelne on the carpet*
[22:36] EternalDragonAya: (124 episodes ago)
[22:36] Songstress Enlil: (HOLY CRAP, IT WAS ALL A CLEVER DISGUISE!)
[22:36] End790: (SHUSH)
[22:37] End790: :He blinks:
[22:37] End790: What the fuck was that?
[22:37] End790: I thought those things were weapons.
[22:37] DarkLordKelne: *Of course, due to gravity reversal, he'll be on the opposite side of the carpet to Ara.*
[22:37] Songstress Enlil: Against some, this is.
[22:37] Songstress Enlil: (Brb)
[22:37] End790: :Ditto.:
[22:38] End790: :His nose wrinkles slightly as he finds himself licking a hand briefly:
[22:38] EternalDragonAya: o_o;;
[22:38] EternalDragonAya: *seems rather disturbed by this*
[22:38] DarkLordKelne: *Anyhow, he can make a bit more speed now. Peering over the edge so he can see where he's going.*
[22:38] End790: :Then he stops and shudders:
[22:38] End790: :Hoping no one saw that :(:
[22:38] End790: :Kelne will see that he's currently gaining altitude above the now seriously ruined world:
[22:39] End790: It seems heading up will be sufficient enough...
[22:39] DarkLordKelne: Alright. I say we sneak in, if possible. 
[22:39] End790: If we can find a way to clearly sneak in, anyhow.
[22:40] End790: As I don't believe I even know what the structure we're heading towards looks like
[22:40] EternalDragonAya: o_o Whatever we do, we'll be better off than that ninja of yers.
[22:41] End790: >_>
[22:41] DarkLordKelne: How many structures can there be in the sky, anyway?
[22:41] DarkLordKelne: Yes, well, that's not exactly hard.
[22:41] End790: I don't know.
[22:42] End790: There was some sort of Infinity base in the sky before.
[22:42] End790: But I believe that blew up due to Astyanax.
[22:42] End790: Now we have some sort of thing beyond even that.
[22:42] End790: :They are now approaching the edge of the atmosphere!:
[22:42] EternalDragonAya: Maybe there's an...uh, exhaust pipe? Or poorly-watched cargo bay to blast into?
[22:42] End790: :It looks purty.:
[22:42] End790: <_< What?
[22:42] DarkLordKelne: Well, it should be fairly obvious.
[22:42] DarkLordKelne: <_<
[22:43] End790: Exhaust pipe?
[22:43] End790: Doesn't sound like something I'd want to get involved with.
[22:44] DarkLordKelne: Let's just try and find a door, shall we?
[22:45] End790: I suppose we shouldn't be surprised if we find a large door with an Infinity symbol on it.
[22:45] DarkLordKelne: *Nods*
[22:46] End790: Hmmm...
[22:47] DarkLordKelne: *Still scanning the skies for the damned base.*
[22:47] End790: :They have now crossed into OUTER SPACE.:
[22:47] End790: :There are many stars. Several of them hide terrible secrets of space:
[22:48] End790: :And slowly, but surely... something is coming into view...:
[22:48] End790: (Roll, Kelne)
[22:48] DarkLordKelne: (Kelne: And terrible secrets that mess with me get a paranoia strike in the face.)
[22:48] DarkLordKelne: DarkLordKelne rolled 1 6-sided die:  4
[22:49] *** You have been disconnected. Fri Sep 17 22:49:35 2004.
[22:49] *** Attempting to re-join chat...
[22:49] End790: :And what appears to be a round of tracer fire streaks directly towards the bubble!:
[22:50] End790: :This means enemy projectiles. And those are bad.:
[22:50] DarkLordKelne: *Dodges.*
[22:50] End790: :Here comes another one!:
[22:50] Songstress Enlil: (Back)
[22:50] End790: (Roll again, Kelne!)
[22:50] DarkLordKelne: *Keeps up the dodging, scanning for the source*
[22:51] DarkLordKelne: DarkLordKelne rolled 1 6-sided die:  4
[22:51] End790: I guess I can see that...
[22:51] End790: Anyway... thanks for the healing. We gotta get moving, though, in case he decides to pull any more of that crap.
[22:51] DarkLordKelne: (brb)
[22:51] Songstress Enlil: By all means.
[22:52] End790: (:Waits on Kelne before he goes ahead with that bit: )
[22:52] End790: All right, I've been experimenting with this ship a bit in the meantime, and it has a few features that surprised even me...
[22:52] Songstress Enlil: Like what?
[22:52] End790: Kinda happy we stole it away from ol' Alex.
[22:52] End790: Well, lemme get to the front, and I'll show ya.
[22:53] End790: :He takes a seat up front and presses a few buttons:
[22:53] Songstress Enlil: (Galc: *Hits a button, the Cheat's Lightswitch Rave plays* Enlil: They kept some classic design features, at least)
[22:53] End790: :The hatch closes, and all of the windows seem to tighten and lose their sheen:
[22:54] Songstress Enlil: *Observes*
[22:54] DarkLordKelne: (Back)
[22:54] End790: :There is a series of clanking noises as the windshield undergoes this transformation.... before it widens and clears out, revealing the skies above:
[22:54] DarkLordKelne: IM: The trick here is not to imitate Pervy.
[22:54] End790: We can take this baby into space.
[22:54] End790: Just sealed off the windows and windshield...
[22:54] End790: And this
[22:54] End790: :Presses a button:
[22:54] End790: Keeps our oxygen supply flowing nice 'n easy.
[22:54] Songstress Enlil: (Pervy: Ye'll ne'er imitate me, ye wannabe. I crash wit' style)
[22:55] Songstress Enlil: *Nods*
[22:55] End790: :Kelne soon becomes aware of a large amount of energy emnating in the distance as he dodges yet another round of fire:
[22:55] End790: :Although he can't yet see it, he can guess that that is the ship just up ahead!:
[22:55] End790: Now...
[22:55] DarkLordKelne: (Kelne: Yes, I myself have never crashed at all. Clearly your skills are superior.)
[22:55] End790: :Grins a bit and presses yet another button:
[22:56] End790: :A whole new set of controls open up next to the main controls:
[22:56] Songstress Enlil: (Pervy: Damn straight.)
[22:56] DarkLordKelne: *Onwards, keeping an eye out for any further fire*
[22:56] End790: :And a set of new guns can be seen opening up on the hood of the ship, just beyond the windshield:
[22:56] EternalDragonAya: *onwards!*
[22:56] End790: This is getting to be a bit annoying...
[22:56] End790: :Two rounds of tracer fire streak towards Kelne, this time!:
[22:56] Songstress Enlil: I see... what sort are these?
[22:57] DarkLordKelne: Y'know, I can't help but feel that the whole shooting thing is at odds with the 'bring me the crystals' thing.
[22:57] End790: He's playing around with us again...
[22:57] DarkLordKelne: (Two dice?)
[22:57] End790: (Indeed!)
[22:57] DarkLordKelne: DarkLordKelne rolled 2 6-sided dice:  1 4
[22:57] End790: Well, from what I found...
[22:58] End790: They're powered from the same sorta stuff as those gems.
[22:58] End790: Specially designed for heavy warfare, and we're about to get some going.
[22:58] Songstress Enlil: Now that does seem useful.
[22:58] End790: :Pulls back on a lever and starts to rev up the ship: Yeah. It's from our branch, of course.
[22:58] End790: :The first round manages to nail the bubble with a bit of unexpected force:
[22:59] End790: :But Kelne manages to dodge the second with some ease:
[22:59] End790: Gah!
[22:59] Songstress Enlil: ...I never thought I would approve of a weapon designer. How odd.
[22:59] End790: :Obviously shaken a bit by the impact:
[22:59] End790: :Kelne can sense that they're drawing closer, and he can now see a vague shape in the distance, amidst the stars:
[22:59] DarkLordKelne: *Weaving an evasive course onwards at this point.*
[23:00] End790: First time for everything, eh? 
[23:00] DarkLordKelne: IM: Still a ways to go, yet.
[23:00] Songstress Enlil: *Nods*
[23:00] Songstress Enlil: Anything else?
[23:00] End790: Try not to get hit again, won't you?
[23:00] End790: :Has now lifted off the ship, and is slowly moving to get through the atmosphere: We've got our protection set up...
[23:01] End790: We gotta find that Astyanax bastard, make him pay. And find that kid of yours.
[23:01] End790: :Concentrates again...:
[23:01] DarkLordKelne: I'm a tad busy at the moment, Astrynax. Kindly refrain from distracting me.
[23:01] Songstress Enlil: *Nods*
[23:02] End790: :Two more rounds of tracer fire streak towards them:
[23:02] DarkLordKelne: DarkLordKelne rolled 2 6-sided dice:  6 1
[23:02] End790: (Kelne can roll once more if he fails a roll on either, given that he's moving defensively.)
[23:02] End790: (Ah, lag humors me)
[23:02] DarkLordKelne: (Roll both, or just one?)
[23:02] End790: (Just the one you rolled low.)
[23:03] End790: I wonder where those other people are, though?
[23:03] DarkLordKelne: DarkLordKelne rolled 1 6-sided die:  2
[23:03] End790: :Kelne manages to swiftly avoid one:
[23:03] End790: :But another manages to just nail him:
[23:03] End790: :And again, the bubble shakes violently, Astrynax shaking with it:
[23:03] DarkLordKelne: IM: Godsdamnit!
[23:03] End790: Argh!
[23:04] End790: :Curses under his breath! The bubble is obviously growing smaller at this point :(:
[23:04] DarkLordKelne: IM: We'd better get there soon at this rate.
[23:04] End790: There were supposed to be a whole bunch of other people, right?
[23:04] End790: Your friends an' all?
[23:04] End790: You think they're all right?
[23:04] DarkLordKelne: *Pouring on the speed, while keeping up the maneuvers*
[23:05] End790: :Shudders slightly as he attempts to keep up with Kelne's speed:
[23:05] Songstress Enlil: We've been seperated for some time. But, I hav faith that they can take care of themselves.
[23:05] End790: :This time...:
[23:05] End790: :Five bursts of tracer fire streaks towards them. Fortunately, they can now see the ship in more detail... still a bit far away, but they can see the basic outlying design:
[23:06] End790: :It appears to essentially be along the lines of an orbiting central circlet, surrounded by an almost maddening series of smaller structures, tubes, and tunnels:
[23:06] DarkLordKelne: Hold on. This could be rough.
[23:06] End790: :The orb itself is glowing...:
[23:06] End790: Oh, goddamnit
[23:06] DarkLordKelne: DarkLordKelne rolled 5 6-sided dice:  3 4 3 5 3
[23:06] Songstress Enlil: (Nice)
[23:07] End790: :Kelne manages to evade all of the blasts. Three very nearly hit, but he sweeps by them with some relative ease:
[23:07] End790: :And now, with the speed they have going, they can see the ship in greater detail. The energy crackling about the central part of the ship is clearly the energy Kelne sensed...:
[23:07] EternalDragonAya: Go Kelne!
[23:07] DarkLordKelne: *Fear his mad evasive skills, or something.*
[23:07] End790: :And an Infinity logo is predictably emblazoned on the side:
[23:07] End790: (At least he didn't yell 'Silent like the Ninja' this time.)
[23:08] DarkLordKelne: *Checking for any doors*
[23:08] End790: :No obvious ones just yet!:
[23:08] End790: :One last attack!:
[23:08] Songstress Enlil: (Infinity: Fuck you and you're whole world!)
[23:08] End790: :Two tracer fires sweep in from the right:
[23:08] DarkLordKelne: *Also endeavouring to get in close enough that they can't shoot at him without hitting themselves. Although they could well be that stupid...*
[23:08] End790: :Two from the left:
[23:08] Songstress Enlil: (That's a great slogan :( )
[23:09] End790: :And one from above, one from below. :O:
[23:09] End790: :That's six all together.:
[23:09] End790: :Let's see if Kelne can do this!:
[23:09] DarkLordKelne: DarkLordKelne rolled 6 6-sided dice:  4 3 5 1 4 4
[23:09] DarkLordKelne: DarkLordKelne rolled 1 6-sided die:  5
[23:09] End790: :All right!:
[23:09] End790: :Kelne manages to evade every single one of the blasts:
[23:10] DarkLordKelne: *He's clearly gotten better with practice*
[23:10] End790: :And he sweeps in on the station, coming closer than before:
[23:10] End790: :He'll have to sweep in closer to see any ways in, however!:
[23:10] End790: (That's a cute one, Pervy. :D)
[23:10] DarkLordKelne: *Onwards, keeping an eye out for any more nasty little surprises*
[23:11] Songstress Enlil: (Kaiou: He may have the potential to Zwee!)
[23:11] End790: If you say so. :With that, Galc puts the full pedal to the metal... and he and Enlil go blasting off into space!:
[23:11] End790: :Without any advance warning, to boot, so Enlil might want to grab something :O:
[23:11] DarkLordKelne: (Kelne: I'm not making zwee noises.)
[23:11] End790: (Asty: Nonsense, it's fun.)
[23:11] End790: (Asty: Even Ara knows that!)
[23:12] End790: :Kelne will soon see a number of docking bays on this side of the station:
[23:12] EternalDragonAya: (Yes!)
[23:12] End790: :He'll note that there seem to be several ships parked in each of these...:
[23:12] End790: :And there appear to be three, all together.:
[23:12] Songstress Enlil: *Grasps onto the control panel by where she sits*
[23:12] End790: :One is near the top of the 'orb':
[23:12] End790: :Another is near the middle:
[23:12] End790: :And the third is near the bottom.:
[23:13] End790: (Man, Enlil just had to have that common sense thing. :D)
[23:13] DarkLordKelne: *Goes for the middle one. After all, they clearly know he's coming...*
[23:13] End790: :The ship swiftly takes off into space, leaving the world behind:
[23:13] End790: Well, from what I got and could understand...
[23:14] End790: This one planet called Knossos and the one we were on before somehow crashed.
[23:14] End790: The head wound kinda kept me from focusing on that, but the ship seemed to point it out at some point. As if it had already been here.
[23:14] End790: :The bubble goes sweeping towards the central cargo bay:
[23:14] DarkLordKelne: (She did? If there's one thing Star Trek has taught me, it's that grabbing onto consoles during a fight is a bad idea.)
[23:14] Songstress Enlil: (Not a fight on her end, though)
[23:14] DarkLordKelne: (Not yet.)
[23:15] End790: Pretty damned weird...
[23:15] Songstress Enlil: What were you doing there?
[23:15] End790: Huh? No, the computer pointed this stuff out for me.
[23:15] Songstress Enlil: Ah.
[23:15] End790: The ship had already been there. Found this stuff out when I was working around with it a bit.
[23:15] Songstress Enlil: So Knossos was drawn here... I wonder why?
[23:16] End790: Don't really have any reason to go to Knossos, but apparently that Alex guy did.
[23:16] End790: :Shrug:
[23:16] End790: :The bubble comes skidding onto the landing bay, and a large door seems to swing open, hearking for them to come inside!:
[23:16] End790: :Which they naturally do, given that they're being sweeped in.:
[23:16] End790: :So much for dusting your feet.:
[23:17] Songstress Enlil: He was imprisoned there.
[23:17] DarkLordKelne: IM: Well, this certainly doesn't scream 'trap'. No, not at all.
[23:17] End790: :As soon as they are brought into the oxygen-enriched cargo bay, the door closes behind them:
[23:17] End790: :And they are left there.:
[23:17] End790: :Fortunately, Kelne's sense of gravity has returned to normal.:
[23:17] End790: :As has Asty's. For better or worse.:
[23:17] DarkLordKelne: *Looks about for exits*
[23:17] End790: Huh...
[23:17] End790: But why would he want to go there again?
[23:17] EternalDragonAya: <_< ....see, that plan worked good!
[23:18] EternalDragonAya: I'm glad I thought of it.
[23:18] Songstress Enlil: I can't think of a particularly good reason.
[23:18] End790: :Groans as the bubble slowly fades away:
[23:18] DarkLordKelne: *Manages to wind up dangling from the carpet rather than plummeting, but landing is definitely a good idea.
[23:18] End790: :Seems to be thinking about it!:
[23:18] End790: Who was that you were talking with?
[23:18] DarkLordKelne: *Does so.*
[23:18] End790: Looked like that Sorune guy, from what I've seen in the files.
[23:19] End790: :The trio find themselves in what appears to be an entirely empty room of some sort.:
[23:19] EternalDragonAya: ...huh... o_O
[23:19] End790: :There is only one dim light on above, and there is a large door just ahead.:
[23:19] End790: Well, if this doesn't just look welcoming.
[23:20] End790: -_-; :Rubs kitty ears slightly:
[23:21] End790: (Check!)

Session Close (Planets and Chibis): Fri Sep 17 23:22:32 2004


Session Start (AIM - End790:Planets and Chibis): Fri Sep 17 23:22:41 2004
[23:22] End790: (Fah ._. )
[23:22] Songstress Enlil: (Use Study Guide!)
[23:24] End790: (>_>)
[23:24] EternalDragonAya: (STUDY GUIDO!)
[23:24] DarkLordKelne: *Tries his hand at opening the door*
[23:25] End790: :The door swings open automatically!:
[23:25] EternalDragonAya: <_< Oooh, those kind. I like those.
[23:25] End790: Oh...
[23:25] End790: Those androids...
[23:25] End790: Hmp, thought they all got killed.
[23:25] End790: Hmph...
[23:25] DarkLordKelne: Stick close, people. I don't want it banging closed and separating us.
[23:25] End790: :And so, a message is suddenly broadcast to them!:
[23:26] End790: "Ah, so you've finally come! Get here quickly if you want to save her life."
[23:26] EternalDragonAya: *zips after Kelne* Good point.
[23:26] End790: :Asty attempts to follow closely behind:
[23:26] End790: (Cues music: Crazy Gadget)
[23:26] EternalDragonAya: Oh, of COURSE he already knows we're here.
[23:26] DarkLordKelne: *Stalks through, not dignifying Astyanax with a response*
[23:27] End790: -_-; Naturally. But we need to get to Janda, and stop this goddamned plot before it gets too far.
[23:27] End790: :They are currently on what appears to be a glowing blue track of some sort.:
[23:27] DarkLordKelne: Right. *Onwards, hand on sword hilt*
[23:27] End790: :It heads downward...:
[23:27] EternalDragonAya: I agree. This is really pissin' me off.
[23:27] EternalDragonAya: *heads down the track* Let's hurry!
[23:27] End790: Huh...
[23:28] End790: I wonder why we haven't run into anything just yet?
[23:28] Songstress Enlil: Hm?
[23:28] End790: :They have just now broken into outer space... but there's no sign of the ship or any enemies out here:
[23:28] End790: A little more peaceful than I thought it'd be.
[23:28] Songstress Enlil: I'm praying that it means we've stretched his resources past their limit.
[23:28] DarkLordKelne: (And the radio plays "When angels deserve to die")
[23:29] End790: :The track suddenly ends:
[23:29] Songstress Enlil: (New Zealand has shitty radio :( )
[23:29] End790: :And the trio find themselves staring out over the abyss of space:
[23:29] End790: :Well...:
[23:29] End790: :There is a rail of some sort:
[23:29] End790: :Perhaps one could boost themselves along on it?:
[23:29] DarkLordKelne: *Glares at the abyss of space.*
[23:30] End790: Hmmm...
[23:30] EternalDragonAya: Oooooh!
[23:30] End790: Seems like there's a bubble of oxygen there, as well.
[23:30] End790: It only looks threatening... would prove fatal if one fell, though.
[23:30] DarkLordKelne: *Screw that. Out comes the carpet*
[23:30] EternalDragonAya: *hops right onto that rail and grinds*
[23:30] End790: >_>
[23:30] End790: ....
[23:30] End790: :blinks: What the hell is she doing?
[23:30] EternalDragonAya: Byeeeeeee~!
[23:30] DarkLordKelne: Doing things the hard way. Get on.
[23:31] End790: :And so she grinds along!:
[23:31] DarkLordKelne: *On the carpet*
[23:31] End790: :The rail suddenly breaks, and three more can be chosen.:
[23:31] End790: :Which to jump onto?:
[23:31] End790: :Climbs on:
[23:31] End790: That looks both unspeakably dangerous and ridiculous.
[23:31] EternalDragonAya: *goes for rail 3!*
[23:31] DarkLordKelne: What part of 'stick together' is so difficult to understand?
[23:32] DarkLordKelne: *Sets off in pursuit, trying to catch up*
[23:32] End790: :The rail goes for a swift loop-de-loop, briefly skimming across the oxygen bubble below before sending her head-long and flipping onto a new platform of some sort:
[23:32] End790: :Kelne need only follow the rail that looks as if it's been used:
[23:32] End790: Goddamnit, Ara, wait a damned moment!
[23:32] EternalDragonAya: *lands on the platform*
[23:32] DarkLordKelne: *Indeed.*
[23:32] EternalDragonAya: Hurry up, you people are SLOW!
[23:33] End790: Huh. :Galc looks back to Enlil, then forward again: You know how many Astyanax has on his side, besides that Alex?
[23:33] DarkLordKelne: And you are ever so slightly crazy.
[23:33] End790: :Says not nice words :(:
[23:33] DarkLordKelne: What kind of deranged mind sets up obstacle courses like this, anyway?
[23:34] End790: :This new platform appears to lead into a tube of some sort:
[23:34] End790: :Seriously. There's a somewhat small hole, just right for people to go into:
[23:34] End790: Whoever designed this ship had some sort of issues, yes.
[23:34] Songstress Enlil: I know he has a friend of mine, whom has corrupted. the soul was gone from her body.
[23:34] DarkLordKelne: *Lands on it* Well, this looks to be 'fun'...
[23:34] End790: Damn! He can do that.
[23:34] End790: *?
[23:34] Songstress Enlil: Apparently.
[23:34] EternalDragonAya: *goes into the hole!*
[23:35] End790: Nyu... ._.
[23:35] DarkLordKelne: *tucks the carpet under an arm and follows*
[23:35] End790: :Forces himself to follow last:
[23:35] Songstress Enlil: With luck, she's been weakened to the point of uselessness.
[23:35] End790: :Nods: So you fought with her, huh?
[23:35] Songstress Enlil: *Nods*
[23:35] End790: :The three go zapping about in the tube, which seems to swirl about and head in every possible direction, insuring dizziness:
[23:36] Songstress Enlil: I expect she'd been restored since then, but perhaps harmed in the long run.
[23:36] End790: :It spits them out onto a slide of some sort...:
[23:36] End790: :Which heads both in one direction... way, way, down....:
[23:36] End790: :And up to who knows where:
[23:37] End790: :Naturally, a swirl of water has caught all of them and is dragging them down:
[23:37] End790: I'm sure you kicked her ass good enough to leave a mark.
[23:37] EternalDragonAya: GAH!
[23:37] End790: I mean, you took care of that one shadow in that hospital pretty damned well!
[23:37] End790: Ahhh!
[23:37] DarkLordKelne: IM: So much hatred for deranged architects...
[23:37] End790: :Blurble:
[23:37] Songstress Enlil: *smiles* Your confidence is encouraging.
[23:38] End790: :The slide takes them along for a bit...:
[23:38] End790: :Until it becomes clear that it's going to drop them into yet another stretch of the abyss of space:
[23:38] End790: :There are platforms to either side of the slide they could get to, if they could tear themselves away from the force of the water...:
[23:39] End790: Heh, well...
[23:39] End790: At this point, it might be all we've got.
[23:39] DarkLordKelne: *Unrolls the carpet and lets it pull him upwards*
[23:39] Songstress Enlil: It may be more effective than it would normally seem, given circumstances.
[23:39] End790: :A round of tracer fire suddenly rips past the ship, and an alarm in the ship blares:
[23:39] End790: Well! Looks like we're gettin' closer.
[23:40] Songstress Enlil: Right.
[23:40] End790: :Astrynax desperately grabs onto his ankle:
[23:40] Songstress Enlil: *Secures herself properly*
[23:40] End790: :And does his damndest to hold on:
[23:40] End790: :And what of Ara?!:
[23:41] End790: :Galc shifts the ship into a series of evasive manuevers as tracer fire erupts all around the ship:
[23:41] DarkLordKelne: *As soon as he's above the water, flips the carpet so that it's under both of them*
[23:41] EternalDragonAya: *Ara grabs onto Asty!*
[23:41] End790: :Spits out water: Quick thinking on your part, Kelne.
[23:41] End790: :Tugged ;_;:
[23:42] DarkLordKelne: *Drags Ara onto the carpet, dripping all the while*
[23:42] End790: :The ship draws ever closer, as both Galc and Enlil can now see the space station approaching in the distance!:
[23:43] End790: :Spits out more water:
[23:43] DarkLordKelne: I am so going to strangle someone when this is over...
[23:43] Songstress Enlil: *Examines it, visually then astrally then visually again*
[23:43] End790: Cats hate water! Can't that bastard see that?!
[23:43] End790: :Visually, she gets the same picture that Kelne did...:
[23:43] DarkLordKelne: *Heads for the left platform, for want of better ideas, attempting to wring out his tail*
[23:44] End790: :A sort of central 'orb' surrounded by a grand bunch of interconnecting tunnels, tubes, and other, smaller, structures:
[23:44] End790: :She can see, astrally, a veritable swarm of elemental energy around the central 'orb', to whit:
[23:44] End790: :The energy is fully charged, here... there is also the hint of a darker energy present...:
[23:44] End790: :The left platform is both solid and dry.:
[23:45] End790: :Which is more than can be said for the slide:
[23:45] DarkLordKelne: *Suuure it is. Stays off it, looking for somewhere to go next.*
[23:46] End790: :He can try to go up:
[23:46] End790: :As the slide did seem to go further up, to parts unknown:
[23:46] DarkLordKelne: Right. Back up, then. *Heads up the slide at speed*
[23:47] End790: :They soon pitch themselves up and over the slide!:
[23:47] EternalDragonAya: *follows after Kelne, trusting his judgement on this one*
[23:47] Songstress Enlil: Hmmm.
[23:47] End790: Anything special about this place?
[23:48] End790: Sure is glowing brightly.
[23:48] DarkLordKelne: (Enlil: It's a giant pinball machine. Look at 'em go!)
[23:48] Songstress Enlil: Do you know about the Crystals that seem to regulate this world?
[23:49] End790: Not really.
[23:49] EternalDragonAya: *OVER THE SLIDE!*
[23:49] End790: Guys didn't say much about 'em.
[23:49] DarkLordKelne: *Surveys the general vicinity*
[23:49] Songstress Enlil: Most of their energy is being concentrated there, this likely explains how he's been able to do so much.
[23:49] End790: :The trio now find themselves in a new room as the slide is locked off, closing away...:
[23:50] End790: :There appears to be three statues, here, and Kelne begins to get the horrible suspicion that he's seen this somewhere before...:
[23:50] Songstress Enlil: Were things to go well, I'd like to try and usurp it from him.
[23:50] End790: ... goddamn.
[23:50] DarkLordKelne: ........
[23:50] End790: That's pretty bad.
[23:50] End790: Does he have anything else there?
[23:50] EternalDragonAya: o_O
[23:50] End790: <_<
[23:51] EternalDragonAya: Statues? That can't be good.
[23:51] End790: :There are three statues!:
[23:51] End790: :They are of Ara, Kelne, and Astrynax.:
[23:51] DarkLordKelne: Does nobody have thoughts of their own?!
[23:51] EternalDragonAya: See, if badguys put statues in their base, that means the statues are going to come to---
[23:51] EternalDragonAya: .....
[23:51] Songstress Enlil: The android mention he was dabbling into the shards of the Heart of Darkness.
[23:51] EternalDragonAya: This can't be good.
[23:51] DarkLordKelne: *Stalks over to the statues, examing them, and knowing very well what this means.*
[23:51] End790: :And there is a mural on the sidewall, illustrating just how they are to be posed!:
[23:52] End790: :The statues are rather finely crafted, though how they were formed is up to considerable thought:
[23:52] Songstress Enlil: (Kelne going to hyperextend his leg with all that stalking)
[23:52] End790: :In the mural, Ara is sitting on the floor.:
[23:52] DarkLordKelne: Bloody idiot's been talking to Foenix.
[23:53] End790: :Kelne is standing on her head.:
[23:53] DarkLordKelne: (He tends to do it mostly when annoyed.)
[23:53] End790: :And Kelne is rubbing noses with Astrynax.:
[23:53] Songstress Enlil: (But he's always annoyed)
[23:53] End790: >_>
[23:53] DarkLordKelne: (Exactly.)
[23:53] End790: Someone explain to me what's going on here?
[23:53] Songstress Enlil: (Thus: Hyperextension :( )
[23:54] DarkLordKelne: We have to replicate the damned murals to get out.
[23:54] End790: >_>
[23:54] EternalDragonAya: ...
[23:54] EternalDragonAya: You're kidding me!
[23:54] End790: You're joking.
[23:54] EternalDragonAya: You have to stand on my goddamn head?!
[23:54] DarkLordKelne: *Vengeful thoughts, oh yes.*
[23:54] End790: I am not rubbing noses with anyone
[23:54] End790: -_-; I'm humiliated enough as it is... 
[23:55] End790: (Asty: Fortunately, Inverse is not up in space.)
[23:55] DarkLordKelne: Fine. Blast a hole in the wall, then. I certainly won't object.
[23:55] End790: :Asty glares at Kelne.:
[23:55] End790: I'm too weak, remember?
[23:55] Songstress Enlil: (Inverse: You know, Sorune thought the same thing. Now he's art in Nekonian)
[23:55] DarkLordKelne: *Counterglares* 
[23:55] Songstress Enlil: (*-n)
[23:55] End790: (Asty: I'll get you for this, Inverse)
[23:55] End790: (Asty: You and Mary Sue both)
[23:55] DarkLordKelne: Then feel free to suggest an alternative.
[23:56] End790: Ara!
[23:56] End790: Come up with an idea.
[23:56] EternalDragonAya: Uh...
[23:56] End790: Anything. I'm not going to go through with this.
[23:56] EternalDragonAya: I'll blast a hole in the wall then!
[23:56] End790: (May be disconnected any moment now.)
[23:56] EternalDragonAya: (Onoes)
[23:56] End790: (If I don't return in good time, consider this TBC.)
[23:56] End790: Go right ahead.
[23:56] EternalDragonAya: *picks a wall, and BLASTS IT*
[23:56] EternalDragonAya: *OMG chaotic disintegration*
[23:57] End790: :The door turns into a mouth, and eats the blast.:
[23:57] End790: :The mouth then fades away.:
