You have just entered room "ihateaimchat."
T3chn0Namagomi has entered the room.
CGNakibe has entered the room.
CGNakibe: (At least you don't hate Christmas.)
Lithaladhwen: (This chat room comes with tags, it comes without parcels, boxes, or bags.)
Lithaladhwen: (That's why we don't hate it.)
Lithaladhwen: (That and it worked.)
Arch mage144: (I was trying to name the chat "THE MAC DADDY")
Arch mage144: (It did not like this)
T3chn0Namagomi: I swear, I wish I could get a PS3, if only for DMC4.
Arch mage144: What, you don't want it for MGS4?
Arch mage144: That's the only game I'm even vaguely interested in.
T3chn0Namagomi: I've currently got more interest in DMC4
CGNakibe: I don't want a PS3 till the price comes down from the heavens and lands where I feel I can actually BUY one.
Arch mage144: OK, I really wish I could have one more player at least, but they all seem to be gone.
PapatymisonN has entered the room.
Arch mage144: Wait, somehow I forgot about Charles.
T3chn0Namagomi: XP
CGNakibe: Mecca Lecca Hi Mecca Hiney ho!
PapatymisonN: I love you too, Brian.
Lithaladhwen: I love Brian!
Lithaladhwen: Ahhhh Jambi.
Arch mage144: Shini, I am going to assume, is doing someone else right now.
Arch mage144: I mean something else.
T3chn0Namagomi: XD
CGNakibe: ZING!
T3chn0Namagomi: Freudian slip, anyone?
CGNakibe: I think the first one is more right than the second!
PapatymisonN: *also, steals Brian from Ashley* Mine now.
CGNakibe: Either that or Napoleon the Pig is teaching Shini about "equality"
T3chn0Namagomi: Likewise. Sarah is over in the same house.
Arch mage144: Uh, Charles, you're really not my kinda guy.
Lithaladhwen: *kills Charles*
Lithaladhwen: *sacrifices Charles to Nikumu*
Lithaladhwen: Bastard.
PapatymisonN: *kicks Nikumu's ass, returns to life*
PapatymisonN: Did you know I can defeat gods of hate with my love?
PapatymisonN: It's true.
CGNakibe: I think Nikumu needs to stop slitting his wrists. He does it wrong anyway. >:{{{
PapatymisonN: What's Nikumu look like?
Lithaladhwen: Goblinoid.
T3chn0Namagomi: Ew.
PapatymisonN: ... is he in a My Chemical Romance tee?
T3chn0Namagomi: Brian made him a goblinoid god?
CGNakibe: The Glory of Nikumu according to Google.
Arch mage144: He has goblinoid facial features; long, hooked nose, long chin, long ears. Coal black flesh. Whatever height he feels like being, but on the lanky side in terms of build.
Lithaladhwen: Shaun: Heh.
Arch mage144: Now that's hilarious.
Arch mage144: It is particularly hilarious because Innoruuk is the god Nikumu is based on.
T3chn0Namagomi: Hn.
T3chn0Namagomi: I was hoping for a more human-looking god.
CGNakibe: May Hate guide your hand!
CGNakibe: Hey, Naki is sorta elven. Does that count?
T3chn0Namagomi: That's just me, though
PapatymisonN: Marklar.
Arch mage144: No. His physical appearance is kind of reminescent of gothic-style gargoyles.
T3chn0Namagomi: Then again, my short-lived god(dess) of destruction was supposed to be human, I think.
PapatymisonN: Also: You based your god on someone else?
Arch mage144: The concept. Nothing beyond that, really.
T3chn0Namagomi: Clad in uber-heavy black platemail. XD
PapatymisonN: Kay.
CGNakibe: Hey, I like the idea of Nikumu as a Gargoyle-ish God.
CGNakibe: In fact, if you think about it... very fitting.
PapatymisonN: ... maybe if he was 20 feet tall...
CGNakibe: Charles?
PapatymisonN: Shaun?
CGNakibe: Think of a pissed-off Goliath. >.>
T3chn0Namagomi: Anyway. MAC?
PapatymisonN: All I can get is a fat and ugly Lexington.
PapatymisonN: And yes.
T3chn0Namagomi: <If I can't be bishy in real life, I'm going to do it in RP!>
CGNakibe: >:P
CGNakibe: <I'd rule the world, but that requires work.>
PapatymisonN: <NOW we're talking goblinoid!>
PapatymisonN: (*all of a sudden, has a vision of Oxblood in a loincloth with wings*)
Lithaladhwen: <Helena "Death Without Blood" Mazuo>
Arch mage144: <RP>
OMG Priam has entered the room.
Arch mage144: (Yo Priam)
OMG Priam: (I hear people hate AIM chat)
Arch mage144: (The real problem is that it would not let me name the chat "THE MAC DADDY")
CGNakibe: (Your ears are apparently functional as well as stylish, or something.)
PapatymisonN: (;_; )
Arch mage144: (You want to play or just watch? I imagine Shini is not going to be available.)
OMG Priam: (Yeah, Shini will be indisposed. I can play, I would be down with this)
Lithaladhwen: ( Obligatory art link )
T3chn0Namagomi: (Woohoo! We get a new recruit!)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Who Zeiren can be bishier than?)
OMG Priam: (Oh God, I can't remember what color I used for this guy)
Arch mage144: (OK, let me IM you something)
PapatymisonN: (Oh, we're doing links now?)
Lithaladhwen: (That looks right.)
Lithaladhwen: (And I can doublecheck.)
Lithaladhwen: (Priam: Yes. I checked.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (I would artlink, but I have no scanner, and all I have is an upper-body nude that I made to figure out his frame)
OMG Priam: (=D)
PapatymisonN: (He draws the character nude, his character enters the mech from behind... the evidence is stacking up... <.<)
Lithaladhwen: (Oh my.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Hey. EVAs are rear-entry as well)
CGNakibe: (*drops a boulder on Charles*)
PapatymisonN: (Ow.)
Lithaladhwen: (Now who's making the comparisons, Doug? =P )
T3chn0Namagomi: (*Charles is eaten by a Mass Production EVA*)
Lithaladhwen: (*eats the EVA's power core*)
Arch mage144: *Today, Helena has been called upon to perform a "technical demonstration" for a group of MAC arcane technicians with appropriate security clearance!*
Lithaladhwen: (*and also Charles, just because*)
Arch mage144: *Her comrades from Delta Unit are also requested to be present*
Arch mage144: *The group has been ordered to assemble at Auxillary Lab B, Section 07 for the demonstration*
Lithaladhwen: *Takes it upon herself to climb up onto the machine as she waits for everybody to show up.*
T3chn0Namagomi: *And if possible, Zeiren would've tried to get the technicians there to examine things related to the missile launchers, armor composition, and presence or absence of shield generator, as well as system integrity.*
Lithaladhwen: IM: I hope they all have horrible nightmares.
Arch mage144: (Are you talking about the captured armor?)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Yes)
PapatymisonN: *Oxblood is sitting in the back, only anticipating to half pay attention*
Arch mage144: (They're doing a full analysis. You'll get information later.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Ah.)
Arch mage144: (This meeting is about the core.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Gotcha)
CGNakibe: *Yawns, is vaguely interested in this meeting*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Zeiren is busy staring at one of the female technicians for the time being*
CGNakibe: IM: But its a chance to watch Helena in action, right?
OMG Priam: *Man, that annoying frozen-soup kid is around there, too.*
Lithaladhwen: (Yeah! The freezer of pudding!)
CGNakibe: >.> IM: .... if your name isn't Zeiren. Thank the Gods for small miracles.
Arch mage144: *The captured armor is sitting in the middle of the lab, powered down, yet somewhat ominous...its silence is almost eerie, given Helena's recent discoveries about its nature...*
PapatymisonN: *Alexander Domanada's probably front row, but you don't care about him, so nyeah*
Lithaladhwen: (He thinks Hel has "good stock" and should make babies. No, I don't care about him.)
Arch mage144: *Commanding Officer Giles happens to be present, as well, and is looking a bit nervous*
OMG Priam: (If he gives her the appropriate parts, I think she can assemble one together)
Arch mage144: *A white-coated technician approaches Helena and looks her up and down*
Lithaladhwen: (Yeah, well. She's theoretically built to do so.)
Arch mage144: Tech: Are you prepared to perform the demonstration, Special Ops Mage Mazuo?
CGNakibe: (Yes, but will he still be if he keeps such up too long? >:P)
Lithaladhwen: ...Yeah. Do we have everyone?
T3chn0Namagomi: Uh huh. *stare*
Arch mage144: Tech: It looks like everyone who needs to be present is here. Anyone who happens to be late is unfortunately just going to have to deal with being late.
PapatymisonN: *waves from the back, once*
Arch mage144: *There's no sign of Makura, he being on leave, apparently; Cecil's around, though, looking nervous*
Arch mage144: *Lots of edgy people in the lab today*
OMG Priam: (From the back? I thought you said he was front row.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (He meant the orc)
OMG Priam: (Ah.)
PapatymisonN: (Yeah, Alex is... Oxblood, who I'll be playing tonight, is in the back.)
Lithaladhwen: All right. Let's start with my initial hypothesis. We were informed of rumors that the enemy machines may not have had pilots at all.
CGNakibe: *mutters* Well, at least Helena is sane. Nothing SHOULD blow up that wasn't supposed to.
Lithaladhwen: We were also informed that our own soldiers were not being taken prisoner as far as we could tell. Unusual, given the behavior of our... usual suspects.
Arch mage144: Tech: *nods* That's correct. I am to understand that you discovered the means by which they are piloted?
Arch mage144: Tech: CO Herzog mentioned it, but none of us know anything. The entire situation has been placed under level four security. Today is the first time I'm going to get any real data on the subject.
Lithaladhwen: Well, my hypothesis was that the soldiers were not being taken alive because they're of no use to our enemies... alive.
Lithaladhwen: I believed that the machines did in fact have pilots, and that they were our pilots, killed and subsequently bonded to the armor by... whoever.
OMG Priam: *eyebrow!*
Lithaladhwen: When one of our team disabled this machine, I took the opportunity to check for such an entity. Guess what? I think I found it.
T3chn0Namagomi: *to the techies* If you want to leave the room, feel free to do so.
Arch mage144: Tech 2: Are you kidding? I've got to see this!
Lithaladhwen: My first action was to force its manifestation for the benefit of my allies, but there was no time to solidify it physically.
Lithaladhwen: I'll manifest it now, if I can. I believe it's something that we need to expose ourselves to, if only to be aware of what we're up against.
T3chn0Namagomi: Don't be too shocked, then.
OMG Priam: *eyebrow+*
Arch mage144: Tech: Do whatever you want. This is your department. I am to understand that you have been granted clearance to know whatever you need to until this investigation is over and the crisis is dealt with.
Lithaladhwen: Clearance is good. Now, let's see if I can try and show you what I mean.
Arch mage144: Tech: The mecha has been disarmed and disabled, so you have nothing to fear from its sudden activation. Just so you know.
Arch mage144: Tech: We had some engineers remove all of the joint actuators, so it can't actually move.
Lithaladhwen: *First thing, she's keeping an eye on the thing for ghosties to make sure that everything she expects to be there is where she left it.*
Lithaladhwen: (Spirit lore check?)
Arch mage144: (Roll.)
OnlineHost: Lithaladhwen rolled 3 6-sided dice: 4 6 3
Lithaladhwen: (13<16 Success.)
Arch mage144: *Nobody touched anything, as far as Helena can tell; there's still a faint astral "residue" that is at least reminiscent of the spirits of the deceased*
Lithaladhwen: (Does it feel like before?)
Arch mage144: (Yes.)
Lithaladhwen: *attempts to force the being inside the armor to manifest visually for her audience*
OnlineHost: Lithaladhwen rolled 3 6-sided dice: 1 4 6
Lithaladhwen: (11<16. Success.)
Arch mage144: *From the cockpit of the armor bursts a semi-corporeal creature that passes without incident through its transparisteel frontal plate...its figure extends out a few feet from the mech, but it seems to be able to go no farther.*
T3chn0Namagomi: o.o IM: That thing STILL freaks me out
CGNakibe: .... WOAH. O.o;;
OMG Priam: *intense look, furrowed eyebrows. He appears to be analyzing it!*
Lithaladhwen: *watches her audience, keeping a careful eye on peoples' reactions*
PapatymisonN: *how big is it? Person size? Or MECH size?*
Arch mage144: *The creature resembles a humanoid torso that has been welded to an astral mass of shifting colors. Below the waist, its body gives way to tendrils of brownish-pink flesh that sweep backwards.*
T3chn0Namagomi: (Person size)
CGNakibe: What'd... what'd they DO to it?
PapatymisonN: IM: ... ow?
T3chn0Namagomi: That's apparently a fusion of soul and symbiote.
Arch mage144: *It is roughly the size of a human from top to bottom; its "arms" are likewise swept back, seemingly melted against the trunk.*
CGNakibe: ...Its ugly as sin.
T3chn0Namagomi: It's smart enough to know what does and doesn't work, and change tactics based on that.
Arch mage144: *Its expression and facial features are clearly human, albeit twisted and misshapen. Its eyes are wide with shock, and its mouth is open as if to be continuously screaming, but no sound escapes.*
CGNakibe: Yeah. Figured that.
T3chn0Namagomi: So it's not...that...blinded...by what appears to be pain.
Lithaladhwen: This is one of your men, I think. Someone we've lost, and who's been claimed by our enemy...whoever our enemy may be. This is what we're facing. This and his creators.
CGNakibe: But... What does it TAKE to make a spirit like that?
Arch mage144: *A matted web of organic-looking tissue connects the upper portions of the creature's anatomy to the shifting astral mass.*
Arch mage144: *Cecil proceeds to vomit*
Lithaladhwen: (Aw. Poor Cecil.)
Arch mage144: *The technicians appear to be suitably horrified*
Lithaladhwen: *ignores Cecil* Does anyone here have an alternate hypothesis?
CGNakibe: o.O;;
Lithaladhwen: IM: For what it's worth, I should ask.
Arch mage144: Tech: Uh...
CGNakibe: ...
PapatymisonN: ... how's this help us kill them better?
Arch mage144: Tech: *attempting to regain his composure* That *waving at the colorful mass* is reminiscent of an astral symbiote.
Arch mage144: Tech: And that...is...distinctly humanoid.
PapatymisonN: (Ah, scratch, he's interrupting.)
CGNakibe: *sighs, glares a bit at Oxblood... as if that'll do any good*
PapatymisonN: (... or not. whatever.)
Lithaladhwen: *nods to the orc* Oxblood, I can explain that later. Right now I want to know if anybody has an alternate explanation for what it is.
CGNakibe: (Eh, sorry. ^^;; )
PapatymisonN: *nod*
PapatymisonN: IM: Which means she has an answer. Good.
Arch mage144: Tech: I have...no other theories. Yours is as good as any. It is a humanoid spirit merged with a mecha's astral symbiote.
T3chn0Namagomi: It looks like that, anyway.
OMG Priam: *seems to have a lot on his mind.*
T3chn0Namagomi: (XD. Poor Cecil.)
CGNakibe: (And sadly it was Pizza day.)
Lithaladhwen: All right. To Oxblood's question. Killing it at this point would be redundant. But I see no reason why we shouldn't do everything in our power to destroy every single one of these beings.
Arch mage144: C: ...*shaking his head, stepping away from the nearest wastebin, looking suitably horrified*
CGNakibe: (You kinda like to keep THOSE down.)
Lithaladhwen: However.
CGNakibe: Hm?
Arch mage144: C: ...it looks like he's in excruciating pain...
T3chn0Namagomi: Uh, yeah.
Arch mage144: C: I've...seen that expression before. But you don't have to have a degree in medicine to know what it means.
Lithaladhwen: *seems to be more pleased with Cecil's interruption than annoyed* You are exactly right.
Arch mage144: C: Can you...can you separate them?
T3chn0Namagomi: Good question.
CGNakibe: Would the spirit even survive that process? >.>
PapatymisonN: Should it?
Lithaladhwen: I think that it can be forced to solidify itself in a similar manner to a ghost. However, this is a guess. The astral symbiote probably cannot, but this isn't behaving like either a ghost or a symbiote from what I can tell.
CGNakibe: ... probably not,no.
Lithaladhwen: I think that its astral component can likely not be pulled free from the human component, but I would be overjoyed at any chance to find a way.
Lithaladhwen: There are two reasons why this is a good thing to explore.
OMG Priam: *nodding slowly.*
PapatymisonN: (R: You've worked miracles before.)
Lithaladhwen: One: It gives us a way to effectively dismantle the weapon of our enemy.
Lithaladhwen: Two: It may give us the ability to communicate with whatever's left of this man.
OMG Priam: *wry face.*
Lithaladhwen: My third point is purely sentimental. Why the hell wouldn't you try to get him out of that?
PapatymisonN: ...
PapatymisonN: Got a point.
Arch mage144: C: It looks like the worst torture imaginable. *headshake*
CGNakibe: Hmmm... o.o;;
Lithaladhwen: So, potential options are removal of the spirit from the armor, followed by either separation or outright destruction of the entity.
OMG Priam: .....
T3chn0Namagomi: Hmm. It would be easier to destroy it--though that sounds more like it'd fit in the mages' department.
Arch mage144: Tech: Considering that none of the totally destroyed mecha remnants seem to have possessed anything like this, it's likely that destroying the mecha's core dissipates this entity.
Lithaladhwen: There are a few things I have not tried.
CGNakibe: ...Like what?
Lithaladhwen: One is solidifying the entity, because if it were to succeed I might end up sacrificing this demonstration.
Arch mage144: Tech: I know you're the necromancer here, but I'd like to point something else out.
Lithaladhwen: Another is solidifying only part of the entity.
T3chn0Namagomi: Hm?
Lithaladhwen: Yes?
Arch mage144: Tech: You can't bring astral spirits to the material plane. You just can't do it. You can anchor them here, but you can't make an astral being physical.
Lithaladhwen: Precisely.
Lithaladhwen: You can do this with a ghost.
Lithaladhwen: If I were to solidify it, it could do a number of things.
Lithaladhwen: One: The whole thing solidifies, which gives me clues as to how extensive this merging is.
Lithaladhwen: Two: Only part of it does, which again, tells me where the boundaries are between man and symbiote.
T3chn0Namagomi: Three: None of it does.
CGNakibe: Or the thing becomes unstable and falls apart.
Lithaladhwen: But, either would alter this entity and probably mean that I'd have nothing to show you fine people.
Lithaladhwen: *nods to Zeiren* Also possible, but it still tells me that the two are probably irrevocably merged.
Arch mage144: Tech: We've seen it. There's a recording being made, as well, so other people with appropriate clearance can see it too, if they want.
Lithaladhwen: *nod* In summary, I want to know how much is ghost and how much is symbiote, but I can't tell yet.
PapatymisonN: *strumming his fingers on his leg*
Arch mage144: Tech: I...don't know if I really want to watch that footage. It's bad enough being here with it. That thing is an abomination.
PapatymisonN: IM: It's still my job to shoot these things. Don't see how any of this changes that.
Arch mage144: Tech: You've got permission to do whatever you want short of intentionally destroying the components anchoring the symbiote to the physical plane.
CGNakibe: I have another question.
Arch mage144: Tech: Those are inside the mecha, so whatever you do to this thing is out of my hands.
CGNakibe: One you probably can't answer at the present.
Lithaladhwen: Questions are good.
CGNakibe: How was this... thing... made? Or, more to the point, how can you DISRUPT the making of these?
PapatymisonN: IM: Blow up every Sentancorp factory from here to Argovia?
Lithaladhwen: If it is made from human souls... aside from stopping their makers... likely nothing.
CGNakibe: I'm thinking that maybe this whole thing is part of a terror campaign against us. Something designed to demoralize us as it breaks new ground.
Arch mage144: Tech: I have a theory about that.
CGNakibe: Hm?
CGNakibe: .... I suddenly have an unpleasant thought myself... but yours is probably more accurate.
Arch mage144: Tech: Astral symbiotes are hypothetically intelligent, but not like people. They're just willful; they operate completely on instinct.
Arch mage144: Tech: If you could "wire" the symbiote to a human mind...
CGNakibe: *nods*
Lithaladhwen: It was my impression from the start that these things need a human component of some sort.
Lithaladhwen: Or rather, sentient.
CGNakibe: But then you'd just get a large machine that weeps about its girlfriend not visiting it anymore.
Lithaladhwen: Something to direct them.
CGNakibe: *would chuckle a bit... but that... THING is still floating there* <.<;;;
T3chn0Namagomi: As an A2 pilot myself, I can attest to that.
Arch mage144: Tech: ...I think that's the idea, anyway. Astral symbiotes don't seem to be capable of higher reason. This might provide them with the "tools" for it.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Now I'm curious about the level of intelligence of the symbiote itself.
Lithaladhwen: IM: If it's truly alive and intelligent in any form.....
Arch mage144: Tech: They might be able to use the humanoid "wetware" to increase their mental capabilities, so to speak.
Lithaladhwen: That was my assumption, and I'm glad to hear that more educated minds than mine have made the same one.
Arch mage144: Tech: A symbiote has a personality in the same sense that a dog has a personality.
CGNakibe: ... Here's another thought, though.
Arch mage144: Tech: No one would ever say dogs weren't able to think, but no one would call them geniuses, either.
Lithaladhwen: *in case that entity decides it wants to phase out again, Hel will keep it visible as long as possible*
Arch mage144: *it's still there*
Arch mage144: *also, BRB*
CGNakibe: Even if you do wire a sentient mind to it, what keeps that mind from just doing what it would normally do? Why wouldn't that former person's traits and whatnot override a fair amount of the combat effectiveness?
T3chn0Namagomi: It wouldn't override it.
PapatymisonN: *bored. That handheld game device in his pocket's starting to feel heavy...*
Lithaladhwen: I've seen some impressive mental domination that accomplishes similar tasks under other circumstances.
CGNakibe: ESPECIALLY when the "candidate" of sorts is unwilling, like one of ours would be.
CGNakibe: Yes, but what I'm getting at is its look.
CGNakibe: Part of it looks like a spirit in pain.
Lithaladhwen: I'm hoping that the unwilling humanoid who has probably been coerced into this bond somehow will be... forthcoming... if I can get it separated.
Lithaladhwen: If I cannot communicate with it, the best thing we can probably do is destroy it.
CGNakibe: *nods*
Lithaladhwen: *to everyone* I think you would want the same in his position.
PapatymisonN: *nod*
Arch mage144: C: *nods shakily*
OMG Priam: *wry look again, hand to chin.*
T3chn0Namagomi: If that is the route that must be taken, I'll have to ask something else. Would it be possible to create a weaponized means of destroying this thing that could be mounted on Armors?
Arch mage144: Tech: Like I said, if you destroy the core, as far as I can tell, there's nothing like this left over. You captured the first "whole" enemy mecha.
Lithaladhwen: ...Would it be possible to weaponize juice boxes? Sure. But I don't know how and as yet I don't know if it's possible at all.
CGNakibe: *chuckles at THAT*
Lithaladhwen: We'll get to that when we find out a little more.
T3chn0Namagomi: Right.
Arch mage144: Tech: We can probably destroy them the same way you pilots always do. Blow them up.
Lithaladhwen: If it is possible.... by all means. Destroy it by all methods necessary.
PapatymisonN: ... IM: Hmmm... weaponized juice boxes... useless, but tasty.
T3chn0Namagomi: Right then.
PapatymisonN: Anything else, Hel?
CGNakibe: So back to shooting things. Great.
Arch mage144: Tech: Well, do whatever. Bring this damnable thing into the physical world.
Lithaladhwen: This is about all I have for now.
T3chn0Namagomi: I'd like to ask permission to, later, get the technical data on this thing
Arch mage144: Giles: As soon as we figure out who's making these things, it's our responsibility to shut that facility down.
PapatymisonN: *mumbles imperceivably* SentanCorp... <.<
Arch mage144: Giles: And if the brass doesn't agree with me, I'm throwing in my resignation papers.
T3chn0Namagomi: Not that. I mean technical specs. I have a few possible ideas as far as methods to combat them more easily.
CGNakibe: *GLARES at the Orc* >.>
T3chn0Namagomi: But I need more information to verify this.
Arch mage144: Giles: Making slave soldiers out of humanoid souls? That's just sick.
OMG Priam: *sidelong glare at Giles!*
Lithaladhwen: Agreed. And I take personal offense at it.
CGNakibe: As I said before, it probably works to their advantage.
Lithaladhwen: I'm glad that others here share my feelings.
CGNakibe: I mean, strategically their intent is to give us no options.
PapatymisonN: *looks at him as if he can't believe he's implying SentanCorp could POSSIBLY be innocent*
CGNakibe: And to even profit from our downfall, likely.
Arch mage144: C: Can't they get enough pilots already, whoever they are? It's not like there's a shortage of living people to drive mecha.
CGNakibe: *Can. DID* e.e
CGNakibe: Maybe they're only a small force. Maybe not.
Lithaladhwen: This pilot is...hypothetically superior.
CGNakibe: But here's a better question.
Lithaladhwen: For whatever the hell that's worth.
CGNakibe: What country would AUTHORIZE this?
CGNakibe: What governments would actively or passively endorse this sort of thing?
T3chn0Namagomi: You'd be surprised what governments hide from their people.
CGNakibe: Hide from their people, sure.
CGNakibe: I can understand that.
Lithaladhwen: ( Makura's sister: "How are you gentlemen. All your soul are belong to us!" )
Arch mage144: C: Are you saying that the CFIN would do something like this!?
PapatymisonN: ... it can't be legal...
CGNakibe: Which narrows down our suspects, I might note.
CGNakibe: It either isn't or has to be. *shrugs*
T3chn0Namagomi: Might not be the whole CFIN.
T3chn0Namagomi: Maybe just a single country amongst them.
Arch mage144: Giles: Fuck legal, I don't think it matters what our constitution says. I doubt there's a section about the rights of souls anyway.
Lithaladhwen: *scowls but has no comment*
PapatymisonN: (I can just see Data or The Doctor championing the Corporeally Challenged's rights.)
CGNakibe: You have a point there.
CGNakibe: Still, the question of who would allow this to occur on their watch has some merit.
Arch mage144: Tech: Please, Spec Ops Mazuo, proceed with whatever experiment you have in mind.
T3chn0Namagomi: Technically, the only thing that could be charged would be attacking.
T3chn0Namagomi: *lets Hel have her concentration now*
Lithaladhwen: Well, I can't rightly do it now, but I'll probably borrow some mages and get working another time.
Lithaladhwen: Do we have anyone else in my field available?
Arch mage144: Tech: I can get ahold of some necromancers, but you lot aren't exactly common around here. I'll have to put in a few special requests.
Lithaladhwen: Well, if it'll be a hassle don't bother. I can handle it. But....*climbs down off the mech onto the floor* If you see one walking around at random, send him or her my way.
Arch mage144: Tech: Acknowledged.
Arch mage144: Tech 2: Regarding the technical specifications of the armor...
PapatymisonN: *yawn...*
T3chn0Namagomi: *takes note*
Lithaladhwen: IM: And....this is where things become boring and irrelevant.
PapatymisonN: IM: If this isn't on armor weaknesses, I may leave.
Lithaladhwen: *sits down next to Oxblood and lets the entity dissipate in its own time*
T3chn0Namagomi: (Is the commander here at the moment?)
Arch mage144: Tech 2: It is in every way a stock model. Heavy armor plating, dual missile launchers and particle cannons, jump capability.
Arch mage144: (Yes.)
OMG Priam: IM: And finally, they talk about things other than morality.
Lithaladhwen: *w*So. Bored?
T3chn0Namagomi: I would like to question a few specifics.
T3chn0Namagomi: First off, what is the armor composition, and is there a shield generator?
PapatymisonN: *w* Very. Souls, entities... they still have to explode one way or the other.
PapatymisonN: *w* This stuff is not my field...
Arch mage144: Tech 2: You can have a copy of the readout. I'll send one to your email.
Arch mage144: Tech 2: No, there is no shield generator.
Arch mage144: Tech 2: Its armoring is purely physical.
T3chn0Namagomi: Right then. Also, I'd like to know the state of the missile launchers.
Arch mage144: Tech 2: I'm afraid I don't understand. They work.
Lithaladhwen: *w* I don't expect everyone to be an expert. *smirk* All I demand is that people agree with me.
T3chn0Namagomi: Namely, is there a safety measure to prevent internal explosions?
Arch mage144: Tech 2: Or at least, they did before we ripped them out.
PapatymisonN: *w* Is it OK if I don't know enough to disagree?
CGNakibe: *Idly watches*
Arch mage144: Tech 2: The ammunition is compartmentalized to prevent an internal ammo explosion from ripping the entire armor apart.
T3chn0Namagomi: Right then.
PapatymisonN: *Zea is lucky. Oxblood's natural musk is easily tame compared to the various corpses she's stood over!*
Lithaladhwen: *w* That's enough. My main concern is the potential that our higherups would want to use these on our side.
PapatymisonN: *w* ... I'd quit if they did that.
T3chn0Namagomi: I'll check over the specifics later, then.
Arch mage144: Tech 2: *nods*
Arch mage144: C: CO Giles, what are we going to do about this?
Lithaladhwen: *w* Confidentially? I could probably be court-martialed or executed for what I'd do after that.
Lithaladhwen: *w* Suffice it to say I'm not okay with it.
T3chn0Namagomi: <_< Also, commander. Would it be possible for me to discuss these details with you at a later time?
Arch mage144: Giles: Er. Sure.
PapatymisonN: *w* Sounds like fun. I'd have to be right along with you.
T3chn0Namagomi: Right, then.
Lithaladhwen: *nods and once more pretends she's listening to the talk of toasters*
Arch mage144: Giles: I already told you that I've got the go-ahead to launch a full-scale investigation of any of the companies that may be implicated in the production of the parts.
PapatymisonN: *nods, and doesn't*
Arch mage144: Giles: But just because the parts were made by some company doesn't mean that this thing was.
PapatymisonN: ... *w* SentanCorp, I'm TELLING you...
OMG Priam: Is this a specially crafted mech, or a deviation from a standard form whose aspects we already know?
T3chn0Namagomi: <_<; The latter.
Arch mage144: Tech 2: It is a standard model aside from its apparent modifications intended to allow the utilization of this unique piloting system.
OMG Priam: *slow nod*
Lithaladhwen: *actually registers the presence of the Tareen's mortal enemy or something*
Lithaladhwen: IM: Ah. Right. Him.
T3chn0Namagomi: (Tareen's mortal enemy? XP)
Arch mage144: Tech 2: It is in fact so common that even identifying the potential manufacturer of the parts proves very little about its origins.
Lithaladhwen: (He froze her fucking pudding, man.)
Lithaladhwen: (FARGIN WAR)
T3chn0Namagomi: (XD)
PapatymisonN: (But butlers make everything right again...)
T3chn0Namagomi: Interesting.
OMG Priam: IM: Makes sense...
Lithaladhwen: (Except he's still a fargin icehole.)
OMG Priam: IM: Warfare on the cheap.
Arch mage144: Tech 2: However, there would be no reason for the removal all identifying engravings by a third-party purchaser.
Arch mage144: Tech 2: This suggests that whoever built the rest of the components also manufactured the unusual ones and wanted to conceal that fact.
PapatymisonN: (Oxblood made a whispered comment.)
Lithaladhwen: (Hel has no reason to comment.)
PapatymisonN: (Understood.)
OMG Priam: Using public domain product design tells us some of their restrictions as far as equipment goes, though.
Arch mage144: Tech 2: It also suggests that these might be "prototypes" of sorts.
CGNakibe: At the very least we have some idea of what we're dealing with.
T3chn0Namagomi: I'd agree with the latter.
CGNakibe: That's true.
Arch mage144: Tech 2: Using readily available stock parts to test the new piloting system is completely reasonable.
OMG Priam: *nodnod*
Arch mage144: Tech 2: If that's the case, the real terror has yet to begin.
OMG Priam: Well, of course.
Arch mage144: Tech 2: They might start producing custom models that take better advantage of the system.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Eh. Let them deal with the machines. That isn't my business. I reeaaally don't care about anything but stopping this whole thing from going any further.
OMG Priam: The threshold of technology has been broken; it is just a matter of time before someone else picks up on this idea and builds on it.
T3chn0Namagomi: Or simply placing them in higher-end machines would be devastating.
Lithaladhwen: *glances to smart boy the Fargin Icehole* Exactly.
Arch mage144: Giles: Because there's no real evidence that points strongly to any particular culprit, I've made the decision to allow the unit to decide where to direct their efforts to be decided by...popular vote.
PapatymisonN: o.o
OMG Priam: .....?
Lithaladhwen: ...
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
Arch mage144: Giles: Obviously, we can't just blow up mecha factories.
T3chn0Namagomi: Obviously
Arch mage144: Giles: But a covert operation is not out of the question.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Impractical, but I see no reason why we shouldn't.
CGNakibe: It'd help to know where they WERE first.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Shit. Can't do covert
CGNakibe: *suddenly sitting up straight*
T3chn0Namagomi: The three were SEntancorp, Karume, and Macrosoft, right?
Arch mage144: Giles: I'm not going to order you to pick one of the three we've narrowed the manufacturer down to. Instead, I'll let you decide.
PapatymisonN: *raises his hand* SentanCorp.
Arch mage144: Giles: Correct.
OMG Priam: *hand to chin*
Lithaladhwen: I abstain.
Lithaladhwen: IM: By reason of not giving a shit.
T3chn0Namagomi: I'm saying Karume.
OMG Priam: What evidence do we have favoring each?
OMG Priam: IM: If that was the decision to be made, this briefing was direly misprepared...
CGNakibe: I'm saying all three. Because its better to check them all and NOT get bitten in the ass because we checked only one. >.>
Arch mage144: C: Oxblood thinks it's SentanCorp because he hates Makura, and I don't know why Zeiren thinks it's the Valthi, but we have to pick one to start with.
Arch mage144: Giles: There isn't any. Speaking of which. What's your name, soldier? *looking at Donovan*
PapatymisonN: It's not because I hate Makura.
PapatymisonN: It's because Makura LEFT.
OMG Priam: Private Mage Redford, sir.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Redford.
Arch mage144: C: I think he left because we ran into his sister that one day on the battlefield. I heard he has family problems.
Lithaladhwen: ...
PapatymisonN: ... and what does his family OWN?
CGNakibe: ...
CGNakibe: So you don't like Makura.
CGNakibe: GET OVER IT.
PapatymisonN: It's a jump in logic, fine, but just because the guy's an asshole doesn't mean it's a poor idea.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
Lithaladhwen: The appearance of his sister is more disturbing to me than his reaction is.
Arch mage144: Giles: I don't know what unit you're with, but you're with my unit now. Everyone involved in this is under my command until the situation is resolved. That comes from the MAC Igala D high command.
Lithaladhwen: However, that's purely circumstantial.
PapatymisonN: Best we have to go on.
Lithaladhwen: I don't think it's better grounds for blame than anything else on the table.
CGNakibe: So the best we have going is nothing.
Lithaladhwen: So... in the total absence of evidence, I abstain.
Arch mage144: C: Okay, so you think that because Makura's sister was in a suspicious place at a strange time that his family is somehow connected. I can accept that.
CGNakibe: great, wonderful.
Lithaladhwen: Perhaps we can flip coins, roll dice. It's just as good.
T3chn0Namagomi: I'd say the Valthi. As far as I know, they're on a particularly shaky alliance at best with the CFIN.
Lithaladhwen: (Yadali would say that this situation calls for rock-paper-scissors.)
PapatymisonN: Thanks, Cecil. That's what I was getting at.
PapatymisonN: What's my hating him got to do with that?
PapatymisonN: (Oxblood's a poet. He doesn't know it.)
Arch mage144: C: But Makura's direct family don't own SentanCorp. I looked it up. They're his blood relatives, but not immediately. Uncles or something.
Arch mage144: C: His father is the head of weapons R&D, though.
Lithaladhwen: (Oxblood is Sir Percy Blakeney?)
PapatymisonN: (... sure, why not.)
Lithaladhwen: (They seek him here, they seek him there... those pilots seek him... everywhere....)
T3chn0Namagomi: Additionally, the direction the Armors came from suggests Valth and its territories as a possible source
PapatymisonN: Family's family.
Arch mage144: Giles: Maybe in your family.
PapatymisonN: Who knows, he could be going there to bust up the operation... never said he was involved himself...
PapatymisonN: >.> IM: Though it'd be nice if he were.
Arch mage144: Giles: My brother's a staunch "peace supporter" or something and his entire immediate family has disowned me for joining the military. >_>
Lithaladhwen: IM: I don't think I have any siblings, so this whole discussion goes right over my head.
Arch mage144: C: We can't accuse Makura of anything without evidence. He was at MAC Igala A with us until he got transferred here to D outpost. He didn't seem to know anything we didn't.
CGNakibe: This whole line of thought is pointless unless we have something more substantial to go on.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...
PapatymisonN: So let's get some.
CGNakibe: I'm still for checking them all one way or another.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Have they listened to me at all?
Lithaladhwen: IM: Oxblood and Zeiren should go play some arcade game to decide whose suggestion is valid.
Lithaladhwen: IM: The gods of fate and idle timewasting will tell us which is true.
PapatymisonN: I say, try and eliminate SentanCorp as a suspect, entirely.
Arch mage144: C: I don't know who I think is more likely, Karume or SentanCorp. I honestly don't think MacroSoft was involved.
Arch mage144: C: If you're most suspicious of SentanCorp, then maybe we should rule them out first.
PapatymisonN: Sounds good to me.
Lithaladhwen: (Depends on how deeply that symbiote was embedded in the mech. If it was in there so deeply you couldn't remove it, then it could only be Macrosoft.)
OMG Priam: I acquiesce.
CGNakibe: (Eyup)
T3chn0Namagomi: I still say Karume, but since this is by popular majority vote, I'm not sure it matters
Arch mage144: (You need to acquire third-party hardware that's designed specifically by "open symbiote" supporters to separate them)
PapatymisonN: So, SentanCorp's our first target? *raises his hand* Everyone in on that?
Lithaladhwen: As long as we start, I don't care where.
OMG Priam: *nods*
Lithaladhwen: So...yeah. Sure.
CGNakibe: ... *sighs* fine fine. *raises hand*
Arch mage144: Giles: Mage Private Redford, I'm going to take the liberty of transferring you to the Delta Unit dormitory quarters. You'll be issued a new uniform with appropriate insignia.
OMG Priam: Yes, sir.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Got to love the military.
PapatymisonN: Cecil?
Arch mage144: C: Yeah?
Lithaladhwen: IM: "You belong to us now!"
PapatymisonN: SentanCorp?
Arch mage144: C: Um...okay.
CGNakibe: Whatever it takes to get us off the ground.
T3chn0Namagomi: Eh. Majority vote, I don't need to say anything. I'm going to check my mail first. Just in case.
Lithaladhwen: ...
Arch mage144: Tech 2: A set of repulsor engines usually helps with that.
Lithaladhwen: IM: His mail?
PapatymisonN: ... ^_^ We have a decision.
PapatymisonN: *puts his hand down*
Lithaladhwen: IM: The answer may be in his mail? What?
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: I need to get a reprieve from his stench anyway.
CGNakibe: (The Check is IN THE MAIL!)
Lithaladhwen: IM: I am missing yet another technological thing, I'm sure.
Arch mage144: Giles: If it's settled, we're going to reassemble in the ready room for planning in two hours.
T3chn0Namagomi: Right.
PapatymisonN: (I hope everyone realizes the irony of the most unpopular guy in the unit winning the popular vote.)
Lithaladhwen: (Makura wasn't here.)
Arch mage144: (He wore Speed Stick today.)
CGNakibe: (Yeah, Makura wasn't here)
Lithaladhwen: (It's not expensive.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Dude, he wore BLEACH today.)
CGNakibe: Hey, Bleach is good stuff.
Arch mage144: (Where's he keeping his zanpakuto?)
CGNakibe: (Filled with Soul Candy!)
Lithaladhwen: (Also, his parents need to raise their gooddamned kids.)
Arch mage144: Giles: Dismissed!
Lithaladhwen: (Gikongan<Soul Candy!)
Arch mage144: Giles: *salute*
Lithaladhwen: (Ducks<Rabbits!)
Arch mage144: C: *salute*
CGNakibe: *salute*
Lithaladhwen: *salutes lazily and heads out*
T3chn0Namagomi: *nods and heads off to the nearest terminal to access his e-mail*
PapatymisonN: *heads off to the training area*
Lithaladhwen: (Zeiren: *receives an email from Argovia asking him to invest in a mech-development business started up by the last remaining royal heir*)
Arch mage144: *email get*
PapatymisonN: (ZeiREn, get MASSIVELY long and WIDE today! just click HERE!)
Arch mage144: *Re: Hot dragongirls EXPOSED!!!!!!# SEE IT ALL CLICK HERE FOR THE SCALES!*
Lithaladhwen: (Ze1Ren: giANT bOndage Midget!!1)
Lithaladhwen: (You can't get this shit from Lackluster video.)
Lithaladhwen: (They take a strong stance against pornography, openmindedness and non-Christians.)
Arch mage144: *oh, wait, he actuallly got email that seems relevant, too*
Lithaladhwen: (Basically everything important in Gaera.)
CGNakibe: (Sadness.)
Arch mage144: *like one titled "The documents you requested"*
T3chn0Namagomi: (E-mail: Why hello there! I'm Argovian royalty, and I need you to send me money! Please ignore the fact that I can't spell Argovian. Or royalty.)
T3chn0Namagomi: *open!*
Arch mage144: *mech specs get*
Lithaladhwen: (Getto!)
OMG Priam: *stays, to see about the uniform and stuff.*
Arch mage144: *Zeiren now has a full three-dimensional image of the enemy mecha to play with, complete with technical analysis, wireframe models, and...stuff*
CGNakibe: Hm. Which reminds me... I wonder if Chelsea has any more info today. Probably not, but eh.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Ah...one of these things...
T3chn0Namagomi: *click, click...tries to find armor composition*
Arch mage144: *As is more or less typical for MAC, Donovan will probably find that his closet is full of uniforms that fit him perfectly*
PapatymisonN: *is now in a faux cockpit, honing those piloting and targeting skills*
Lithaladhwen: *now attempting to contact ghosts from her room to keep from talking to her roommate*
Arch mage144: *Armor composition: Reinforced dense class B heavy durasteel.*
Lithaladhwen: IM: Rather talk to dead people.
Arch mage144: *Fortunately for Helena, her roommate seems to be out*
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Ah. Nothing BUT metal...check.
CGNakibe: (*from the room* I don' wanna wait!...)
Lithaladhwen: *It's pre-emptive summoning of dead people. In case Tara comes back.*
Arch mage144: *there is a note on Helena's wall mirror...written in lipstick*
T3chn0Namagomi: *tries to also check something on internal system stability*
PapatymisonN: (It reads: JEEPERS CREEPERS WHERE'D YOU GET THOSE PEEPERS)
Arch mage144: "HEY HEL! Just wanted you to know I survived the battle so that you didn't get worried. Boy, what an ambush! I've got a date tonight with a guy who's dreamier than Thompson Drift! Aren't you jealous!?"
Arch mage144: (Yes, somehow, she can write in italics.)
Arch mage144: "See you when I get back! ~Tara"
Lithaladhwen: *represses the urge to vomit* I wasn't like this... was I? And how much lipstick has she got? Isn't that supposed to go on her face?
CGNakibe: (Everyone Loves Tara)
Arch mage144: *Internal system is...stable*
OnlineHost: Lithaladhwen rolled 3 6-sided dice: 1 1 4
OMG Priam: *changes into the new uniform.* IM: Maybe now I can see if that pudding thing can earn its keep like they say.
Lithaladhwen: (She will probably know if there are ghosts around. You don't have to NPC them, but I want to know if she gets to hang with the corporeally-challenged or not.)
PapatymisonN: (*trying not to imagine Tara as Battle Accountant, though that IS an amusing thought*)
Arch mage144: *Donovan finds that his new suit fits like a glove; MAC uniforms are made of a reactive fiber weave that expands and contracts to fit the wearer.*
Lithaladhwen: (That pudding thing! Fargin Icehole, That Pudding Thing, Death Without Blood... Best nicknames ever.)
Lithaladhwen: (Best party of assholes ever.)
Arch mage144: *They really are one-size-fits-all!
Lithaladhwen: (Charles, I think Hel and our Tara would likely not be buddies either. Hel's too serious.)
Arch mage144: *The party can do whatever the hell they want for a bit of in-game time before the GM brooms them along to the ready room for their planning session*
Lithaladhwen: *talks to a ghost about what it was like back in the day*
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Right. Decent on that.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Still have an idea to suggest to the commander, though
PapatymisonN: *as he pilots that mech* IM: No more one shot kills. Never again. No honour in that. e_e
Arch mage144: Ghost: Back in my day, we didn't have these newfangled blinking things everyone is always staring at!
T3chn0Namagomi: *also checks engine speed*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Just because*
CGNakibe: *speed dial*
OMG Priam: *study! Like crazy!*
CGNakibe: Heey, Chelsea. How're ya doin'?
Arch mage144: *Not incredibly fast!*
CGNakibe: ... Hey hey, don't be like that. I can't make a perfectly reasonable call...
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Hm...I would say it's okay there, but...reaction times on those things are insane anyway.
T3chn0Namagomi: *shuts off e-mail, tries to get to the commander's room, and if possible, get a meeting with him*
CGNakibe: Yeah yeah, I KNOW its been a while.
CGNakibe: That hurts, you know. Really, REALLY hurts.
CGNakibe: Fine. Fine. I'll call back later if you're so busy.
PapatymisonN: *finishes for now, and heads to the weight room*
Arch mage144: *Zeiren manages to beat the others to CO Herzog's office outside the ready room*
T3chn0Namagomi: *knocks!*
Arch mage144: Giles: Is that you, Zeiren? Come in.
T3chn0Namagomi: Thanks, Commander.
T3chn0Namagomi: (AFK)
Arch mage144: Giles: *sitting at his desk, moving colorful icons around on a holographic screen with his finger* What do you need?
CGNakibe: Alright then. Yeah yeah. Bye.
CGNakibe: *hangs up* Geez. You ask a friend for the occasional favor... -.-;;
T3chn0Namagomi: (Back)
CGNakibe: Make a social call, and THIS is what you get.
T3chn0Namagomi: Okay. Having looked over the specs, I've noticed that these...pilotless A2s, as I call them, seem to only possess metallic armor. I'm wondering if it would be possible to get a suggestion through the channels.
T3chn0Namagomi: So to speak.
Arch mage144: Giles: Yeah?
T3chn0Namagomi: Namely, I'd suggest, for all who are trained in the use of standard non-physical weapons, allowing a secondary armament of an electrical discharge weapon to potentially stun the enemy Armors. Seeing as they lack shielding(cont)
T3chn0Namagomi: and nonmetallic armor, it would be a lot harder for them to dodge, and if they get knocked out of commission for even a few seconds, that should assist in defending the base should they attack again.
Arch mage144: Giles: It sounds like an excellent idea, assuming that they continue throwing the same stock models at us.
T3chn0Namagomi: Until we get evidence to the contrary, I don't think we have anything else to go by.
T3chn0Namagomi: As a result, for now, I feel this would be a decent advisement.
Arch mage144: Giles: I'll pass on the suggestion that we try using tesla coils as an alternative to standard blasters based on analysis of the mecha's armor composition.
PapatymisonN: *finishes weightlifting. ... flips a coin on finding Cecil and hanging out or going back to the simulator*
T3chn0Namagomi: Not an alternative.
T3chn0Namagomi: A supplement.
OnlineHost: PapatymisonN rolled 1 2-sided die: 1
PapatymisonN: *goes off to find Cecil, then...*
T3chn0Namagomi: A secondary weapon, so to speak.
PapatymisonN: *is he in the mess hall?*
Arch mage144: Giles: I wasn't going to suggest that they strip the blasters out of the standing armors, just that they be added to the equipment loadout if feasible.
Arch mage144: *Sure*
T3chn0Namagomi: Right.
Arch mage144: *He's eating clam chowder at a table by himself and looking a little disconcerted*
PapatymisonN: *sits across from him* Minestrone.
T3chn0Namagomi: Also, if viable for now, I'd like to ask about the viability of thermal cloaking or other such anti-missile measures.
Lithaladhwen: *oh, hell*
Lithaladhwen: *Hel heads there too because Kai is bored*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Sorry about the technobabble, Kai. :-(*
Arch mage144: Giles: I'm not an engineer. You're asking the wrong guy. But I'll submit a request.
OMG Priam: *also shows up, at about the same time. He likes to be punctual.*
Arch mage144: *Oxblood has soup*
Lithaladhwen: (S'okay, Nama.)
T3chn0Namagomi: Right.
Arch mage144: Cecil: Hey, Oxblood. *stares into his soup, stirring it compulsively*
Lithaladhwen: *grabs... I don't know. Chicken carbonara. Why the hell not.*
T3chn0Namagomi: I apologize for intruding, commander.
PapatymisonN: *as in, Cecil gave him his? Cuz I don't want him to have any right now...*
T3chn0Namagomi: *salutes*
Arch mage144: Giles: *waves a hand* Don't hesitate to contact me if you need something.
Arch mage144: (Oh.)
Lithaladhwen: *raises a hand to the new recruit* Redford, right?
Arch mage144: (I thought he was ordering it.)
PapatymisonN: Minestrone.
Arch mage144: Cecil: Are you talking about my soup?
OMG Priam: *nods*
OMG Priam: Mazuo, was it?
PapatymisonN: You eat clam chowder all the time. Keep it up, and you're going to grow a shell.
OMG Priam: *orders some sort of thing.*
Arch mage144: C: Oh, but I like clam chowder. *stir*
T3chn0Namagomi: *leaves, and decides to look around. Presumably for skirts to chase.*
PapatymisonN: ... so why aren't you eating it?
Lithaladhwen: Helena's fine. Want to have a seat? I mean, if you promise not to screw with my dinner. *smirk*
Arch mage144: *Donovan recieves a plate of deep-fried octopus with sauce*
OMG Priam: *Excellent!*
Arch mage144: C: Ah, I'm...I guess I'm just worried about the mission.
OMG Priam: No thanks. I still have some studying I'd like to accomplish while I'm here.
Lithaladhwen: *nods*
PapatymisonN: I promise this time I won't need a bodycast.
Arch mage144: C: It's not that.
Arch mage144: C: I don't know anything about SentanCorp or how we're going to get the information we need, but I guess that's what the briefing is for, right?
Lithaladhwen: *sits over by the people in her unit who're being more interesting*
Arch mage144: C: Are we just going to sneak in and find it?
OMG Priam: *sets, away from gatherings of people. Eats. Hey, he didn't bring any reading materials, either.*
PapatymisonN: Don't see why not.
Arch mage144: C: *sighs* I guess I shouldn't have joined the military if I wanted to avoid violent conflict.
T3chn0Namagomi: (Amusingly, Zeiren is ill-suited to stealth)
PapatymisonN: Yeah. Ya should have been a doctor far from the lines.
PapatymisonN: But *pats him on the shoulder* Glad you're here.
Lithaladhwen: *glances between Cecil and Oxblood*
PapatymisonN: ... oh! Hel. Hey.
Arch mage144: C: *shrugs* I'll be fine, I just worry that I'll hold you guys back. I am going with you, but it seems like we're taking an awful risk.
CGNakibe: *finally shows up. Since everyone ELSE is doing it*
Arch mage144: C: I know how to fight, but I don't want to be a burden.
CGNakibe: Hey guys.
CGNakibe: What's the buzz about?
Lithaladhwen: *nods her greeting to folk*
CGNakibe: *grabs some of that Chicken Carbonara. Hey, its great stuff*
CGNakibe: (Attention Chat: Serran's RPer now is hungry)
Arch mage144: C: We've only got a little less than an hour before the meeting. I think I'm just tense. I'll be fine. *nods*
PapatymisonN: ... I gotta get you drunk sometime.
PapatymisonN: That'd be fun.
CGNakibe: (This implies he hates you all now.)
CGNakibe: (That is all.0
T3chn0Namagomi: (I wonder what alcohol would do to Zeiren. o.o;-)
Arch mage144: (Get him drunk?)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Eh. I just mean, what with Unusual Biochem)
Arch mage144: C: Ah, I'm not much for parties! I can't really hold my liquor very well.
T3chn0Namagomi: (But, eh. That's probably more for medicines)
PapatymisonN: All the better. ^_^
Arch mage144: (And drugs.)
Arch mage144: (Of which alcohol is one.)
Lithaladhwen: (De drugs. Always about de drugs.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Right. I did wonder, so...heh. *shrug*)
Arch mage144: (I'm going to think about that. Whether you know the answer is determined by whether he's been drinking before. I don't know hsi backstory.)
Arch mage144: C: You know, I'm worried about Makura all of a sudden.
Arch mage144: C: What if we attack SentanCorp and he's there?
Lithaladhwen: Um. Then we either fight him or we don't.
Lithaladhwen: What's the issue?
T3chn0Namagomi: *anyway! Let's assume Zeiren was unsuccessful or something*
PapatymisonN: Exactly.
PapatymisonN: ... I'll try not to kill him, I promise.
Arch mage144: *you can always find skirts, but they seem in short supply today*
Arch mage144: C: I'm not worried about what you think I am.
T3chn0Namagomi: *And as such, Zeiren goes to the mess hall.*
Arch mage144: C: I'm not saying we're going to run into him fighting for the enemy. What if he's just there, coincidentally?
CGNakibe: *sigh* That doesn't exactly sound like the sort of attitude for a stealth mission, Oxblood.
Arch mage144: C: And isn't SentanCorp's security really tight?
PapatymisonN: We'll figure something out.
Lithaladhwen: I can't say anything about the security. But if he's there for whatever reason, we'll know what to do when we get there.
T3chn0Namagomi: Yeah. Fighting and stealth...don't really mix.
Lithaladhwen: If he's there by coincidence, we don't fight him unless we have to. If he's there because he's part of the Big Bad, then we kill him.
Lithaladhwen: This isn't that complicated.
T3chn0Namagomi: This is assuming that Sentancorp is responsible to begin with
Arch mage144: C: I don't really know what's going on. I can't make decisions about it right now anyway.
Arch mage144: C: There's just one thing I don't understand. Why us?
Lithaladhwen: Exactly. None of us can. When the time comes to decide, we'll hopefully have more information.
Arch mage144: C: Delta Unit isn't an infiltration squadron by nature.
PapatymisonN: We got the ball. We had better run with it.
Arch mage144: C: All of a sudden we're wrapped up in this mess. Is it because they don't want to cause a panic and make the information public?
CGNakibe: Probably.
T3chn0Namagomi: Likely.
Lithaladhwen: Probably. Maybe they want to keep this information quiet, which means we solve the problem and they clean up with us later.
CGNakibe: Either way they handed the job to us.
Arch mage144: C: They don't even have to make it public, just pass it on to someone better equipped to deal with it! *shakes his head* I'm not really sure what's going on here...
Arch mage144: C: I guess I just shouldn't worry about it.
T3chn0Namagomi: I've had some military experience, but nothing quite to do with infiltration, so...
Lithaladhwen: Eh. Might be my fault. The ghost thing.
Arch mage144: (He's had some military experience? He's in the military!)
Arch mage144: (BRB)
T3chn0Namagomi: *as infantry
T3chn0Namagomi: (I meant that he's been in infantry training for a while, so...^^;-)
T3chn0Namagomi: Err, as infantry, I meant. So I guess I can shoot things. Might be decent in a pinch, but I'm not sure how well I'd do otherwise.
T3chn0Namagomi: ...Right.
Arch mage144: (I am going to make a statement)
CGNakibe: (Hm?)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Did I do something dumb?)
Lithaladhwen: (no.)
Arch mage144: (Basically Ashley and I are starving and have to fix food, and I don't actually want to get too deeply into Metal Gear Igala without Tareen)
T3chn0Namagomi: (I see.)
CGNakibe: (OMG STFU.)
Lithaladhwen: (*grabs Tareen's crotch*)
Lithaladhwen: (Hey!)
CGNakibe: (Pudding! :D!)
T3chn0Namagomi: (OMG PEDO)
Arch mage144: (So while we're going to continue RPing chances are that it'll be pretty low-key and mostly plot-advancing character interaction.)
Lithaladhwen: (Pedo? She's OLDER THAN HELENA!)
Arch mage144: (But in any event there needs to be a brief break so Ashley and I can make something food-like)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Not what it looks like. XP)
Lithaladhwen: (Tareen is the one robbing the cradle, here.)
Lithaladhwen: (By a good 900 years or so.)
PapatymisonN: (Kay. I need to pee.)
Lithaladhwen: (That's one hell of a cradle.)
T3chn0Namagomi: *T-48 minutes. Mess Hall*
T3chn0Namagomi: (Or, something)
Lithaladhwen: (brb while I try to get this computer to quit being all frozen)
Lithaladhwen: (Okay, now AFK food.)
PapatymisonN: (*cracks open Okami*)
CGNakibe: (BAD CHA)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Speak of the devil. Shini's online.)
CGNakibe: (Do you WANT to spoil your RP? ;_; )
PapatymisonN: (I can handle it. ... I can handle it... o.o)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Or he appears to be.)
OMG Priam: (To be fair, Okami has been out here for a significant amount of time)
CGNakibe: (So EVERYONE says, Charles.)
OMG Priam: (Of course, BW is the one playing it, but.)
CGNakibe: (Priam: Almost done here.)
CGNakibe: (I need to go Stray Bead hunting)
CGNakibe: (And finish up the Wanted Monster missions)
OMG Priam: (I just found Oki, here)
OMG Priam: (Running around and getting money for Shitstrike)
CGNakibe: (Hahahaha)
CGNakibe: (That's "Brown Rage" Thank you.)
OMG Priam: (I like my new name better)
CGNakibe: (I STILL don't have the $$$ for that. ;_; )
CGNakibe: (I have, like, 1 million yen.)
CGNakibe: (THAT'S ALL)
OMG Priam: (I've got 1.4 mil here)
OMG Priam: (After buying all the techs besides Shitstrike)
CGNakibe: (Heh. You have slightly more than me, there. And yes, I have all the other techs too.)
CGNakibe: (Also: Still wondering why this game won't stop being awesome. Starting to not care.)
PapatymisonN: (So much exposition... o.o)
Lithaladhwen: (Okay. So.)
Lithaladhwen: (Brian and I are going to make hamburger helper.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Shini apparently got online)
Lithaladhwen: (Then we're going to come back and there's gonna be crazy shit for great CIRP justice.)
Lithaladhwen: (WHAT?)
T3chn0Namagomi: (...and just recently went Away.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Ass.)
Lithaladhwen: (Well, he has an invite now.)
CGNakibe: (Setup, Charles. Setup.)
Lithaladhwen: (Anyway. You know what Brian and I are up to, so... we'll be back.)
OMG Priam: (I just told Shini to get to his computar)
OMG Priam: (Which he is doing)
Lithaladhwen: (Priam's a good man. And thorough.)
OMG Priam: (*fade to black*)
OMG Priam: (*MYSTERIOUS ACTIVITY*)
CGNakibe: (No, thorough would be mentioning the breaking of one's walking appendages)
TheWaiChibiAngel has entered the room.
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Sorry, had to kick Pervy off :-( )
CGNakibe: (Pudding?)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (What the dillyo?)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Well, it was about to be CIRPized)
T3chn0Namagomi: (since, err, Brian sorta needs/wants Tareen, it seems, for "Metal Gear Igala," as he calls it)
Lithaladhwen: (Ah, it's a Shini.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (:D)
PapatymisonN: (Oxblood actually made people see and agree with his point of view. o.o)
Lithaladhwen: (Brian and I are making dinner for ourselves, but with Tareen we can at least move in the general direction of stealth-mission stuff.)
Lithaladhwen: (Otherwise I was going to have to throw weird shit at you for my own amusement.)
CGNakibe: (Oxblood still smells. >:{{{ )
T3chn0Namagomi: (Yeah. He'd be bad for infiltration, I'd say. XP)
PapatymisonN: (It's why he never takes point.)
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Anyway)
PapatymisonN: (That was TWENTY MINUTES OF SETUP for Okami.)
PapatymisonN: (... I need to go pack.)
OMG Priam: (AHAHAHAH)
OMG Priam: (Man, bomb physics in that game are great)
CGNakibe: (Eh? What're you playing around with?)
OMG Priam: (Fireburst, rain, et cetera)
CGNakibe: (Good stuff. ^^)
OMG Priam: (We're having some Mark of the Wolves action over here now. Someone hit me with an IM when something starts happening so I can hear when to return.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (...I really hope Brian and Kai didn't just go to sleep after eating)
Lithaladhwen: (BACK!)
T3chn0Namagomi: (...*sweatdrop*)
Lithaladhwen: (We had to cook!)
T3chn0Namagomi: (My fucking timing)
Lithaladhwen: (We made hamburger helper. XD )
T3chn0Namagomi: (Dear GOD my timing)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Only I would say that RIGHT BEFORE Kai announces she's back. XP)
Lithaladhwen: (I've had like two shots and I'm ready to slaughter boredom, breaking it LIKE SO on my knee.)
Arch mage144: (OK so)
PapatymisonN: (I am packing to move out of my home.)
PapatymisonN: (Expect a touch of sporadicness.)
Arch mage144: (Shini says that he has been driving all day, we have food now, and the general status of Shini is that he's going to be in and out)
Lithaladhwen: (Enterfuckingtain me, everyone! I have returned to spread chaos!)
T3chn0Namagomi: (This means...?)
Arch mage144: (So we're going to do things now that we're back, but I'm not going to thrust the plot forward)
CGNakibe: (Sleepy sleepy....)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Ah. So all of this is going to be within the less-than-an-hour)
Arch mage144: (No, actually. We can forward to mission planning without Tareen.)
Arch mage144: (Just not the mission.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (I see.)
Arch mage144: (But I have a thing in mind, so just cooperate.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Zeiren sucks at stealth anyway. I can wait. XP)
Arch mage144: (Also, if by majority vote the RPers are tired they can go to bed and we won't worry about it until tomorrow or whatever)
Lithaladhwen: (If tomorrow we wish RP, I can be. If today we wish tonight, I RP tomorrow out of spite.)
Arch mage144: (Next week is the con and it's also my clusterfuck exams so I think we will more than likely not have a session next week.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (T_T I wish I could go to Sugoicon.)
Arch mage144: (I'm not going either =/)
Arch mage144: (Anyway)
Lithaladhwen: (I'm drinking a white barian.)
PapatymisonN: (Plot thrusting.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (I want to RP)
Lithaladhwen: (I will try to type carefully.)
Arch mage144: *the group is currently in the eating hall, stuff happens*
Arch mage144: *a group of grey-uniformed figures enter the dining hall together*
Lithaladhwen: ....*glances up*
T3chn0Namagomi: <_< *looks at these guys*
CGNakibe: *raised eyebrow*
Arch mage144: *the group consists of six people, four guys and two girls, all wearing typical MAC uniforms...*
Lithaladhwen: IM: Is this about that ghost from earlier? Because I don't think he meant it about his CO.
PapatymisonN: *checks rank*
Lithaladhwen: (Except they're GREY and not GREEN. I notice things.)
T3chn0Namagomi: *looks at the girls!*
Arch mage144: *their patch insignia is that of a ferocious-looking dog pouncing toward the observer, its hindquarters a smoky cloud*
CGNakibe: *idly checks for rank and position*
Lithaladhwen: *goes back to her food*
Lithaladhwen: IM: If they want me, they can talk to me or get me a soda.
CGNakibe: *eats his Carbonara*
T3chn0Namagomi: *Idly checks squadron as he looks over the two girls.*
Arch mage144: *they all have comparatively low ranks, strictly speaking; none of them are vastly above the members of Delta Unit, but a lot of them are decorated with accessory stars and a few medals*
Arch mage144: *the girls are cute; one is a short-haired blonde and the other is a long-haired brunette*
CGNakibe: Hello folks. I'd not recommend the mystery meats today.
T3chn0Namagomi: Why, hello there girls! *standing up, giving the bishounen grin*
Arch mage144: Cadet A, male: Oh, really? Is it that bad?
Arch mage144: Cadet E, blonde female: Hi there. *wave*
CGNakibe: Well, there isn't any mystery in it.
CGNakibe: I mean, I'm fairly sure it ISN'T meat.
TheWaiChibiAngel: (I'll get in on this :-( )
Lithaladhwen: (Hey, one of them is me! YAY!)
Lithaladhwen: Just don't think about it.
TheWaiChibiAngel: (Priam's in after another round.)
Lithaladhwen: Something died so I could eat, and that's enough.
CGNakibe: *chuckles*
PapatymisonN: ... something you want, sirs?
CGNakibe: (Girl A: *grabs Zeiren* SNOO SNOO.)
CGNakibe: (...</Zeiren'sDream> )
PapatymisonN: (Ladies, ladies, please! The spirit is willing, but the flesh is bruised and spongy!)
Lithaladhwen: (Death By SnooSnoo)
Arch mage144: Cadet B: *is a tall guy with short black hair and glasses* Not really. Nothing we need from...*examines patches*...oh, that's right, it's Delta Unit.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *And look who's running into the hall now!* PUUUDDDIIINNNGG~
Lithaladhwen: ....
PapatymisonN: ... what's that got to do with anything? o.o
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...What?
CGNakibe: Hey Tareen.
T3chn0Namagomi: ^.^ IM: It's my lucky day
Arch mage144: Cadet C: *blonde, scruffy hair and a very noteworthy facial scar* It means nothing. Absolutely nothing.
CGNakibe: Uh Huh.
PapatymisonN: IM: ... you have to be kidding. It's like something out of a bad 80s movie...
CGNakibe: *munch munch*
Arch mage144: Cadet B: It just means that we don't have a whole lot of time to talk to you.
Lithaladhwen: *highly-entertained!*
CGNakibe: So, if I might ask, why are you wasting time standing here? >.>
PapatymisonN: ... sounds like that's a good plan for you. e_e
Lithaladhwen: *but goes back to her food*
T3chn0Namagomi: So, what are your names? ^.^ *to the two girls*
PapatymisonN: IM: *WHAPS Zeiren* Idiot.
Arch mage144: Cecil: *whispering to Oxblood* Don't you know who they are? That's Gamma Unit. They call themselves the Shadow Hounds. It's their insignia. See the patches?
PapatymisonN: *wants BADLY to just slap him one*
TheWaiChibiAngel: ...What are you all doing here?
CGNakibe: IM: That's what I'd like to know.
Arch mage144: Cadet E: I'm Michelle. This is Kristen. *points to the brunette*
OMG Priam: *is still over in the corner, writing some things down.*
Arch mage144: Cadet A: We're here to eat, like you.
PapatymisonN: *whispers back* I'm still not understanding why I should give a damn.
CGNakibe: Ah.
T3chn0Namagomi: Nice names, those would be. Zeiren here. *nods, bish grin*
CGNakibe: I'd suggest the carbonara.
Lithaladhwen: Well, have a seat. We don't bite.
CGNakibe: For obvious reasons.
Lithaladhwen: Well, Zeiren might, but probably not without permission.
Lithaladhwen: *gestures to an open seat or five*
Arch mage144: Cecil: They're the most decorated group of non-officer cadets at MAC outpost D! It's rumored that their enemies don't ever know they're coming; it's like they strike from the mist and then vanish.
CGNakibe: IM: My kinda people.
Lithaladhwen: (Hamburger Helper tastes better the more alcohol you've had.)
Lithaladhwen: (Brian just told me it's because booze makes me crave fats.)
Lithaladhwen: (Why is that?)
Arch mage144: Cadet F, the brunette: Yeah, I happen to like my name. *hair-toss*
CGNakibe: *chuckles* IM: Poor Zeiren. So easy to use.
Lithaladhwen: IM: Well. Glad to see someone else can get use out of Zeiren.
Arch mage144: Cadet C, an olive-skinned youth with black hair and a ponytail: The carbonara's good, eh?
PapatymisonN: *w* So... they want to wave their supposed superiority in their face? That's... great. I think I could bite off all their heads in one mouthful...
PapatymisonN: *all humans?*
Arch mage144: Cadet B: So, I heard you guys managed to capture an enemy mecha intact or something.
CGNakibe: Better with a seat and some folks to share it with, methinks.
Arch mage144: (Yeah, all humans.)
Lithaladhwen: *waves to her plate* Yeah. I'd say so.
Arch mage144: (This group is, anyway. Gamma Unit may in fact have more members.)
PapatymisonN: IM: You'd think they'd have a token inu...
Lithaladhwen: It's not like you're paying for it anyway. No harm in trying it.
CGNakibe: Well, I guess you could say that.
T3chn0Namagomi: So, what specialties are you?
Arch mage144: Cadet C: Maybe I'll get my own plate and sit down, then.
TheWaiChibiAngel: *Ker-Sit* ...What's he doin'?
CGNakibe: (Token, the Token Inu Guy?)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Yes. He must be named Token.)
Arch mage144: Cadet E: I'm our unit's mage. I specialize in illusions and movement magic.
CGNakibe: (Yep. That's the idea.)
Arch mage144: Cadet F: I'm a tek. *yawns*
Lithaladhwen: Good deal. I've never been as good with that but it's useful.
CGNakibe: Interesting. *to cadet E* Any particular preference in the illusions you use?
T3chn0Namagomi: You too, huh?
Arch mage144: Cadet C: *goes to get some chicken carbonara*
Arch mage144: Cadet E: *appears to be staring off into space and twitching her fingers*
Lithaladhwen: IM: Please be a demonstration. I'm so bored.
CGNakibe: (Poor Hel. Stuck with tech-heads all day)
Arch mage144: *an enormous dog, probably the size of a bear and built like a bullmastiff, leaps out of the air from seemingly nowhere*
T3chn0Namagomi: (A fun game! Try to figure out who is sitting where!!!)
PapatymisonN: ... o.o
Arch mage144: *it comes within an inch of Zeiren's face before vanishing in a puff of smoke*
PapatymisonN: ... Mascot?
T3chn0Namagomi: o.o Impressive.
Lithaladhwen: *claps her hands once* Excellent.
CGNakibe: Nice.
CGNakibe: And very useful, I'd say.
Arch mage144: Cadet B: Don't you know? Gamma Unit's called the Shadow Hounds for a reason.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Heh. I take it she wants my attention now.
Arch mage144: Cadet A: Our unit specializes in deception and confusion.
CGNakibe: Well, I figured that th emoment you said your specialty was Illusion.
CGNakibe: *yawns* IM: Sometimes I wonder if I got with the right squad.
Arch mage144: Cadet C: *returning with food* By the time our enemy knows we even exist, our enemy is dead.
Arch mage144: Cadet C: *eating as he walks* Very good, by the way. Great suggestion.
CGNakibe: A sensible plan if I ever heard one.
CGNakibe: Hey, I go with what I know works.
Lithaladhwen: Generally by the time I talk to my enemies they're dead.
Lithaladhwen: So! Good to know what we're doing with them.
Lithaladhwen: You kill them, I bug them later.
Arch mage144: Cadet F: What? How do you bug them after they're already dead?
CGNakibe: When you put it THAT way, makes me wonder if we're invading their personal space. -.-
Lithaladhwen: Helena Mazuo, Unit Delta's something or other. I get harassed by ghosts, and sometimes I harass them back.
CGNakibe: Assuming they HAVE personal space at that point.
PapatymisonN: Necromancer, in other words.
Arch mage144: Cadet F: Oh, man, a necromancer? We still have those? I thought this was a civilized organization!
PapatymisonN: Shut up.
Lithaladhwen: *to Oxblood* Eh. Only when I'm animating their corpses. *grins at F*
T3chn0Namagomi: Now, now. She is quite civilized. ^.^
Arch mage144: Cadet F: ......
Lithaladhwen: *chuckles*
Lithaladhwen: Kids.
PapatymisonN: You'd rather have her at high tea than me, that's for sure.
T3chn0Namagomi: I would know. She knows how to drive a motorcycle QUITE well by now.
Arch mage144: Cadet E: Yeah, Kristen, we still train a few necromancers, just because your parents think it's creepy doesn't mean it isn't useful.
Lithaladhwen: *to Zeiren* Really?
CGNakibe: *sighs and wonders if now is the time to vacate the premises*
Lithaladhwen: That's good to know.
Lithaladhwen: And anyway. *nods to E* Thanks for the vote of confidence.
Arch mage144: Cadet B: Motorcycle?
Arch mage144: Cadet A: Oh, you too, huh?
Lithaladhwen: I don't have a giant robot. What, you want me to walk? *smirk*
CGNakibe: *chuckles*
Arch mage144: Cadet B: Damnit, don't get Chris started about his bike...
Arch mage144: Cadet A: What kind is it? How many horsepower? What'd you pay for it? What color is it?
CGNakibe: IM: At least he isn't asking how many flame stickers are on it. *snickers*
Lithaladhwen: *waves him off* I was just issued one. Probably when I get used to driving it I'll get picky.
PapatymisonN: IM: Oh, here comes the gearhead talk...
Lithaladhwen: Right now I just don't want to run all over hell healing people again.
Arch mage144: Cadet F: I thought you said you were a necromancer.
Arch mage144: Cadet F: Don't you want to see people die?
Lithaladhwen: I don't mind. But I have people I'd rather not die on my watch.
Lithaladhwen: I mean, people can die whenever they want or are supposed to.
Lithaladhwen: But it won't be through any failing of mine.
Arch mage144: Cadet C: *is too busy eating to talk*
PapatymisonN: And that's probably why we won't die right there.
T3chn0Namagomi: Ah, but Kristen, she's just as human as you. ^.^
Arch mage144: Cadet F: How do you know that, hm? *grins*
CGNakibe: *strangely silent about this*
Lithaladhwen: ...
Lithaladhwen: Um. Yeah, okay.
Arch mage144: Cadet E: Yeah, Kristen's grandmother was a...
PapatymisonN: Hel's not a girl who makes comments likely, are ya, Hel?
Arch mage144: Cadet F: Do you really have to say it? *blushes a little*
T3chn0Namagomi: Hm?
Arch mage144: Cadet E: A succubus, right?
Lithaladhwen: I... what about Kristen that's so emb---
Lithaladhwen: Oh.
CGNakibe: Well, there you go.
PapatymisonN: ... oh.
T3chn0Namagomi: Oh, now, now. You talk as if that's something to be ashamed about.
Lithaladhwen: It, uh... it happens. I'm told that I'm related to a few.
Arch mage144: Cadet F: I'm not ashamed!
CGNakibe: Although I've heard good things about certain succubi.
T3chn0Namagomi: I'm actually half-demon myself. ^^
Arch mage144: Cadet: It's just weird to think that my grandma was such a slut!
PapatymisonN: ... oooooookay... *never got food, so goes to get some...*
Arch mage144: Cadet B: *gives Kristen a weird look*
CGNakibe: (Quinn: I slept with a quarter of Doma and all I got was this lousy T shirt *HIDES*)
Lithaladhwen: ...Well. I don't know you well enough to comment. *smirk*
Lithaladhwen: (She got a baby from Zeke!)
T3chn0Namagomi: How do you know she was? Just because she's a succubus doesn't mean she's automatically a slut, you know.
CGNakibe: (This is true!)
CGNakibe: Zeiren's right *mutters* for once....
CGNakibe: Lots of succubi out there. They can't ALL be like the stereotypes say, right?
Lithaladhwen: I have succubus blood. For curiosity's sake...
Lithaladhwen: What does that say about me?
Arch mage144: Cadet A: Well, my bike tops out at 574 miles per hour. I won first place in a recent race. It's a red Kamaitachi Hypercycle. Want to see it sometime? *grin*
Lithaladhwen: ...
T3chn0Namagomi: You're still hot. Regardless. ^.^
Lithaladhwen: (What the fuck is Kamaitachi? I KNOW THAT WORD)
CGNakibe: That you're a strange person to be able to tell which part of the blood is succubi.
Lithaladhwen: I am, huh? I'm older than you are
Arch mage144: Cadet F: Well aren't you forward!
T3chn0Namagomi: Why shouldn't I be?
CGNakibe: *sighs at Zeiren*
Arch mage144: Cadet E: Man, with a blunt approach like that, how can you expect to get anywhere? *eyeroll*
PapatymisonN: (Yo.)
Lithaladhwen: (Kamaitachi (??), or "sickle weasel" is the name given to a bizarre Japanese folk tradition. It refers to a phenomenon where people would be suddenly knocked down by a strong gust of wind and find that they had been cut. )
CGNakibe: (Zeiren needs a higher rank. And a bored lower-ranking officer to push around)
Lithaladhwen: (I don't like the name Kamaitachi Mazuo.
Lithaladhwen: )
T3chn0Namagomi: If I waste time skirting around my opinion and feelings, it'll never get out. And if I waste too much time trying to figure out what exactly to say...
T3chn0Namagomi: I won't enjoy what's here and now, will I?
Arch mage144: Cadet E: And if you waste time chasing skirts with such a ham-fisted method, you're never going to get to enjoy anything.
Arch mage144: Cadet E: *grabs cadet F and begins making out with her*
Lithaladhwen: ...Good philosophy, though. Lots of people die regretting never having done anything.
Lithaladhwen: *salutes them with her soda*
Lithaladhwen: Good start.
CGNakibe: Heh.
T3chn0Namagomi: I see, then. ^^;
Lithaladhwen: You have my full support. Life is good. You'll get less of it than you think.
Arch mage144: Cadet F: Eeeeeh! Not now, we're in public!
Arch mage144: Cadets A, B, C, and D, who has not spoken: *stare, openmouthed*
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Woah. How was I supposed to know?
Lithaladhwen: IM: I think I miss living people.
CGNakibe: *chuckles*
Lithaladhwen: IM: That fucker was right.
Lithaladhwen: IM: They do... have things that I've forgotten.
T3chn0Namagomi: IM: Well, that explains a lot!
Arch mage144: Cadet E: *harumphs and walks off, promptly chased by cadet F*
T3chn0Namagomi: So, question. You two rooming together? *chuckles*
Arch mage144: Cadet B: The answer to that, I think, is...yes.
PapatymisonN: *returns with burger and fries* ... I miss something?
CGNakibe: The Magic 8 Squall says "Highly probable"
Lithaladhwen: *goes back to her food*
Arch mage144: Cadet A: Yeah, and it was hot.
Lithaladhwen: (Squall?)
Arch mage144: Cadet C: Man, those two are crazy.
Lithaladhwen: (Meteorological divinatioN!)
Arch mage144: Cadet A: Speaking of which, I need to go tune my bike.
OMG Priam: *gets up, walks out of the room.*
PapatymisonN: ... weird...
Lithaladhwen: Well, we lost the pudding guy.
Arch mage144: Cecil: The pudding guy?
T3chn0Namagomi: I see.
CGNakibe: I think the idea of people being happy may have offended him. But that's a guess.
Arch mage144: Cecil: Are you talking about our new member?
Lithaladhwen: *to Cecil* He and Tareen and I got in an argument recently over an asinine dispute over pudding.
Arch mage144: Cecil: .......
Arch mage144: Cecil: What?
PapatymisonN: ... pudding.
CGNakibe: ... why does this somehow fit?
Lithaladhwen: She asked him for his, he froze hers when she got it, I asked him to show some respect.
Lithaladhwen: It was faintly amusing, but rather pointless.
Arch mage144: Cecil: I think that Tareen may...not be completely well.
Lithaladhwen: He seems somewhat less hostile now. He didn't ruin my food at least.
Lithaladhwen: Tareen? Probably her age. It... *frown* has an effect.
PapatymisonN: ... as long as he doesn't get in MY way...
CGNakibe: Well, that's a good sign.
T3chn0Namagomi: Want some? *offering some of his farfalle alfredo to Hel*
CGNakibe: And how old was Tareen again?
Lithaladhwen: ....Thank you, but I'll probably have trouble finishing this.
CGNakibe: Considering that, its a wonder she's even partially there. >.>;; Sorry to say.
T3chn0Namagomi: Ah, right then. *continues eating*
Lithaladhwen: Tareen? She's.... odd. But old enough that I can excuse much of it.
CGNakibe: And its because of her thinking I'm told that we recovered that mecha.
CGNakibe: So its not like there's room to complain.
Lithaladhwen: *nods and returns to her food again, because she does in fact need to eat*
Arch mage144: Cecil: I think it might be almost time for the meeting, so I'm going to go prepare a few things.
T3chn0Namagomi: Eh. I think that things might be a bit easier on the defense here, anyway. Unless some new enemy models come up.
T3chn0Namagomi: *eating his noodles in sauce*
Arch mage144: Cadet B: Ooooh. Delta Unit has a mission? Whatever. We've got things to do, don't we, guys?
Arch mage144: Cadets A, B, D: *nod and move toward the exit, followed by cadet B*
Lithaladhwen: See you later, kids.
Arch mage144: *C
CGNakibe: And whatever it is... we never heard about it. *chuckles*
PapatymisonN: ... *finishes his burger and fries* I'll be in the briefing room.
PapatymisonN: *heads off*
Lithaladhwen: (WHOOOOAAAA It's 2 am.)
Lithaladhwen: (Ha! Who knew.)
PapatymisonN: (1:45.)
T3chn0Namagomi: How amusing. It's like they came in here to try to intimidate us, but at the same time, give us something you'd normally have to pay to see. ^.^
Lithaladhwen: ...
Lithaladhwen: You pay for that/
Lithaladhwen: *?
CGNakibe: .... Let me put it bluntly, Zeiren. That's probably the closest you'd ever get too.
PapatymisonN: Like a bad 80s movie...
Arch mage144: Cecil: Um...yeah.
CGNakibe: At least with THOSE two.
Arch mage144: Cecil: See you guys at the meeting! *gets up and goes*
T3chn0Namagomi: Probably. Not like I'm upset or anything. ^.^
PapatymisonN: (*AHchoo!*)
Lithaladhwen: I... don't know and have no opinion.
T3chn0Namagomi: <_< Yeah. You tend to have to pay to see that kind of stuff.
PapatymisonN: *is now at the briefing room, waiting patiently*
Lithaladhwen: Well, um. I guess. I wouldn't know. I never really tried.
CGNakibe: Heh.
T3chn0Namagomi: *finishes his sauce-covered pasta*
Lithaladhwen: So... I suppose we're expected to receive orders soon?
T3chn0Namagomi: I guess so.
CGNakibe: Pretty much.
Lithaladhwen: *sigh* I love the military.
Lithaladhwen: Moving from one beaurocracy to another.
Lithaladhwen: Shall we?
T3chn0Namagomi: Indeed.
CGNakibe: *sighs* I suppose...
T3chn0Namagomi: *gets up, and heads for the briefing room*
CGNakibe: *gets up and heads out!*
Lithaladhwen: (You know how you define "falling down drunk?")
Lithaladhwen: (You fall down. Ha.)
T3chn0Namagomi: (I see)
Arch mage144: (I think this is as good a time as any to pause until most likely tomorrow when Shini is back)
T3chn0Namagomi: (Zeiren indirectly caused the humiliation of two of the members of Gamma Squadron!)
Lithaladhwen: (Yay!)
Lithaladhwen: (I am a lush! In my house and in my pants!)
Lithaladhwen: (Because I am still in them!)
Lithaladhwen: (My house and pants, tha tis.)
CGNakibe: (*GASP* Ashley still wears the SYMBOL OF OPPRESSION)
PapatymisonN: (... no top? e_e Cover your shame, young lady!)
T3chn0Namagomi: (*beats Cha over the head with a harisen* No puritanism!)
CGNakibe: (That would involve less drink and fun and more SHAME)
Lithaladhwen: (I am wearing a top. Two! A bra andmy shirt.)
OMG Priam: (I'm not wearing a bra =( )
PapatymisonN: (... Doug was staring at your tits. <.<)
CGNakibe: (He sure was.)
Lithaladhwen: (Don't you complain about my boobies Mister Gayfriendonline That's Straight and I only Know online.)
Lithaladhwen: (Doug wasn't.)
Arch mage144: (No one in this chat is gay o_O)
PapatymisonN: (Shaun.)
Lithaladhwen: (He wouldn't bein chat if my BOOBs were starung at him>)
CGNakibe: (*THWAP*)
Lithaladhwen: (!)
T3chn0Namagomi: (...XD)
Lithaladhwen: (For you, Shaun....)
CGNakibe: (Boobs with eyes!)
Lithaladhwen: (*Smacks Brian.()
CGNakibe: (But hey, as long as they don't have teeth...)
Lithaladhwen: (And I really did.)
Lithaladhwen: (VAGINAS HAVE TEETH
Lithaladhwen: )

T3chn0Namagomi: That was an amusing RP for sure.
Lithaladhwen: I will enjoy readin this later.
Lithaladhwen: ihaven'tdrunk Thismuch since I spit open mein Kopf.
CGNakibe: Zeiren prayed to the gods, and was rewarded by Hot Lesbians. ZOMG.
T3chn0Namagomi: Only Zeiren would cause something like this to happen just by being himself. XD
Lithaladhwen: Kopf is head
Lithaladhwen: Not struggle
Lithaladhwen: Thast's KAMPF
CGNakibe: OMG.
CGNakibe: OMG OMG
CGNakibe: XOMG
T3chn0Namagomi: And now I am split between two potential routes.
T3chn0Namagomi: Spend points on Stealth to make him actually...good...for this...
Lithaladhwen: ....
T3chn0Namagomi: ...or save them for the upgrade
Lithaladhwen: No do that, Nama.
Lithaladhwen: You haven't oitnts/
Lithaladhwen: Wha?
Arch mage144: You can't spend points between this session and next session.
T3chn0Namagomi: Oh
Lithaladhwen: Points.
T3chn0Namagomi: Okay then.
Arch mage144: There is no logical time for you to train in the skill.
T3chn0Namagomi: Damn.
T3chn0Namagomi: Hopefully, he can play an Otacon-esque position or somesuch
CGNakibe: With Oxblood as Snake?
T3chn0Namagomi: No
T3chn0Namagomi: Oxblood as the decoy
OMG Priam: Did I miss some point-gaining event?
T3chn0Namagomi: Nope
OMG Priam: Kay.
T3chn0Namagomi: Serran would be more like Snake. XD
Lithaladhwen: NO
Lithaladhwen: Serran would eat everything.
Lithaladhwen: Even the parrot and maybe the horse.
T3chn0Namagomi: BUT HE CAN'T HAVE A PONY
T3chn0Namagomi: PONY = NOT HIS
CGNakibe: Serran: *cries*
T3chn0Namagomi: Right, then. Zeiren's going to suck at stealth, or something
OMG Priam: I am not sure any of the unit has any stealth training
T3chn0Namagomi: *points at Serran*
OMG Priam: It's not polite to point.
Lithaladhwen: Yeah man.
Lithaladhwen: I'm drun and hostile. And "ll fuck youup, man.
Lithaladhwen: don't even start.

OMG Priam: It'd be one thing if the visuals actually changed every now and again
Lithaladhwen: Ah, to each his own.
Lithaladhwen: I can see that.
