03[17:17] * Rachel (~devilmanr@152.123.207.68.cfl.res.rr.com) has joined #talesofadream [17:17] I'll try to play tonight but I'm super exhausted x.x [18:07] <@Tythanin> :( [18:07] <@Tythanin> What happened? [18:12] been up since god knows when this morning visiting places with rooms for rent [18:13] <@Tythanin> :( [18:13] <@Tythanin> Any luck>? [18:14] found three... one of the people I talked to... might be a Power Ranger at Disneyworld. :| [18:15] <@Tythanin> :V [18:15] which is more awesome than being a Disney Princess but [18:16] <@Tythanin> Hahaha. [18:16] <@Tythanin> Still, at least you found some places. 03[18:17] * Schala (~essence@c-71-197-137-202.hsd1.wa.comcast.net) has joined #talesofadream 03[18:58] * Tilus is now known as Celeste_Dalton 08[18:58] << HAHIIIIIIIIIII~ >> [19:00] <@Tythanin> I wonder if anyone else is here. 08[19:02] ran will show up sooner or later [19:04] <@Tythanin> Mmmm. 03[19:05] * Patchoulli is now known as Intresia [19:06] <@Tythanin> Hmmm... [19:06] <@Tythanin> I guess I'll wait a little longer. 03[19:12] * Nayuta_Chouta is now known as Amamiya [19:13] << Maito and I are at the same house with no extra computer >> [19:13] <@Tythanin> lol I guess 3 is fine 08[19:13] lol [19:13] <@Tythanin> Or well 4. 03[19:14] * Tythanin is now known as GMnin [19:15] <@GMnin> When last we left our heroes, they had returned to the real world only to find out that their club had been disbanded and their club room had been barred and locked off. Luckily, Rais had found a new one but he had to skip out one some sort of business, leaving the rest of you alone. [19:15] <@GMnin> Heather is at her house, sleeping off a headache. [19:16] << Where are we ATM? >> [19:16] <@GMnin> << Ceylon Academy >> [19:16] << New clubroom? >> [19:17] <@GMnin> << Nope. >> [19:17] <@GMnin> << Rais never did find out what it was. He's off checking it now. >> [19:18] "We should reinstate the club... maybe under a different name." [19:19] "That'd be a good idea... Or maybe until then, we could use one of our dorm rooms?" 08[19:19] "If you can get it to work, great.." 08[19:19] "But I wouldn't be surprised if we've kind of got a reputation now." [19:19] << "Can I suggest 'Intresia's Save the world by Overloading it with fun Special brigade'?" >> [19:20] "I guess it's time to look for loopholes." 08[19:20] "Well, Rais found another room we might be able to use in the meantime, so depending on how it looks we might meet there for now." [19:21] "Well, that helps." [19:21] "Hm... where is it?" 08[19:22] << I assume Rais told me where it was when we found it out, right? >> [19:22] <@GMnin> << Yeah. >> 08[19:23] "Oh, it's over near the park. Apparently nobody ever uses it for some reason." [19:24] "Sounds nice." 03[19:24] * Hayate (shirogane@195.208.208.218.kmr01-home.tm.net.my) has joined #talesofadream [19:24] <@GMnin> << Hi Ran~ Perfect timing. >> 08[19:25] "Oh, and here's our Detective of Interesting Things. How does it look?" [19:25] << hmmm ? >> 03[19:25] * Hayate is now known as Rais_Altair 08[19:26] << Tyth deus ex machinaed you into checking out the clubroom. >> 08[19:26] << the one we found last session. >> [19:26] <@GMnin> As you all head to the new clubroom, you see Rais standing there talking with a bald, middle-aged man. [19:26] << oh, wasn't that just like, a place in the middle of a park or something ? >> [19:27] <@GMnin> << Yes :V >> [19:28] << so there's no real 'room' or anything, right ? and how'd it go ? >> [19:29] <@GMnin> << It's a beat-up looking trailer :V >> [19:29] <@GMnin> << And it went fine. >> [19:29] "... and this clubroom is...?" 08[19:29] * Celeste_Dalton sweatdrops. [19:29] <@GMnin> "Ah, are these your friends?" [19:31] "Ahh, that's right~" [19:31] "Wow... one of my practice locations..." [19:32] "So, whaddya think ? It feels like a real secret hideout kind of location, riiight~ ?" [19:33] <@GMnin> "It's even supposedly haunted. If that makes you feel better." [19:33] "Suuure..." [19:33] "Really?!" 08[19:33] * Celeste_Dalton sweatdrops again. "Remind me once again to get a precise definition of 'interesting' from you sooner or later." [19:33] "What? Don't you think that's interesting?" [19:34] "It's not quite so quantifiable, princess !" 08[19:34] << I was sweatdropping at Rais's comment, not the old man's =P >> 06[19:36] * Intresia regains her COMPOSURE. "... I guess it'll do." [19:36] "Everyone! Our new clubroom!" 08[19:36] "But hey, it's our new meeting place, and after all we've been through I can't have any objections over where we meet." 06[19:37] * Intresia gestures dramatically to the place [19:37] <@GMnin> "Well I'm glad you kids like it. I neglected to mention this, but I will need a small fee. You know, rent kinda." [19:37] "..." [19:37] <@GMnin> "Won't be that much. Maybe 5 bucks a week?" 08[19:38] "That's not bad at all.. though you'll have to talk to Heather about that, she's our leader.. and she's not here right now." [19:38] "Sounds reasonable." Rais nods [19:38] <@GMnin> "I see...I will, then. What's her name?" 08[19:39] "Heather Camellia." [19:40] "And until then?" [19:41] <@GMnin> "Okay...Hmmm, got it. Thanks and here are the keys." He tosses Rais a small, worn key. [19:42] "Cool~ Nice talking to ya~" Rais grabs the key [19:44] <@GMnin> "Yeah, hope you guys enjoy it. I aired it out and cleared it, so it should be almost new inside. I'll be back next week for my payment." He walks off with a wave. [19:44] "I guess it's not too bad a deal." 08[19:46] * Celeste_Dalton nods. "Heather might've been paying a fortune in club fees just to keep us around, five bucks a week is probably nothing for her." [19:47] "Well, lets see what it's like inside." 08[19:47] "Right. [19:48] "Well, then~" Rais unlocks and opens the door 08[19:48] * Celeste_Dalton follows Rais inside. "Kind of a shame Xan isn't here, she'd be ecstatic to find out we meet up in a real life haunted trailer~" 06[19:49] * Intresia heads in too [19:50] <@GMnin> The inside is, like the man said, clean. There's a table in the center with a couple of fold-up chairs around. A single lamp hangs from the ceiling and there are a few power sockets on the walls. A single cupboard lies against one of the walls. Besides that, the room is bare. [19:50] "Not too bad, I guess." 08[19:51] "...Yeah." 08[19:52] << Is anyone else present besides the PCs? >> 08[19:52] << from the club >> [19:53] <@GMnin> << Well like, awake? Yes. >> 06[19:53] * Intresia checks the cupboard idly [19:53] <@GMnin> << At the new clubroom? No. >> 08[19:53] << okay. >> [19:54] "Uhuhuhu... Explorers of a Dream ver. underground, unofficial first meeting !" [19:55] He grunts. [19:55] "Any plans?" 08[19:55] "Well.. we really kinda need more than just us around.. otherwise we're not going to really get much further than we had before." 08[19:56] "We need, at the very least, Heather here.. and that chronic headache of hers worries me. I might stop by over at her place afterwards to see if there's anything wrong." [19:56] "I guess not." [19:57] "I guess I can come too." [19:58] "Ok~" 08[19:59] "Alright." [19:59] << *afks some mins to eat >> 08[20:01] "As for what to do now.. Well, I've got Ainel powers now, but there's still far too many loose ends and unanswered questions to call that wrapped up." [20:01] "What happened is still a mystery, isn't it?" 08[20:02] "Yeah.. as is what actually happened to the 'other Ainel'." 08[20:03] "Though.. I thought about it a bit last night, and realized.. hadn't something similar happened to Priscilla, where she split into two and the other half of her became a much more evil version of herself? Though.. we're still going to have to find the other Ainel again to do anything about that.." 08[20:04] "And on that avenue.. I don't have anything to work off of." 08[20:05] "Or if she even still exists." [20:05] "We could hunt for her again, I guess." 08[20:08] "True.. and we have to go to Vega again to explain to the Wilted Rose the deal with two Ainels existing at once. And that reminds me, I still don't have any idea how I'm going to explain things to them.." [20:09] "Maybe they should've listened when I mentioned an imposter Ainel." [20:12] "Ah well." [20:12] <@GMnin> << So you two going to do anything else or continue chatting here? >> 08[20:12] "Beyond that.. I don't think we have any other leads, we might as well just be throwing darts at the wall." [20:12] "Yosh." Rais puts away a notebook into his pocket 08[20:13] << I think just a little bit more to wrap this up, then I'm going to Heather's house to see what the deal is with her >> [20:13] "It's probably too soon to go back right now..." 08[20:13] "Probably.." 08[20:14] "Anyone else have any other ideas? Otherwise, I think that'll pretty much wrap things up." [20:14] "None here." [20:14] "I am curious about the haunting, though." [20:15] << "I'm so glad I didn't get split into good Yukari and evil Yukari..." "Oh, hi. I'm your evil half." "Nooooo!" >> [20:16] << lol, tenshi >> 08[20:16] "I can't say I'm not a little curious about it as well.." [20:16] "Hehe, me too~ ...but let's let the haunts present itself first~" 08[20:16] " 08[20:17] "Yeah.. he, she, or they will probably show up once they're ready to, and no sooner." [20:17] "That's fine." 08[20:19] "Well, I guess that's pretty much it, if any of you want to come with me to Heather's house, I'm going that way now." [20:19] "Sure." [20:19] "Yosh~" 08[20:21] "Alright, let's head out, then~" 06[20:21] * Intresia starts out 08[20:21] * Celeste_Dalton goes over to Heather's house~ [20:21] <@GMnin> So then you all head off to Heather's house. Her mother answers the door, but lets you inside once she finds out you're Heather's friends. Heather herself is in her room, lying in bed with a small paperback book lying next to her. She gives you all a weak grin as you enter. 08[20:21] "Hello~" 08[20:21] * Celeste_Dalton Neide Serene Smiles. [20:22] "Hey." [20:22] <@GMnin> "Yo kids. What brings you here." [20:23] "Heya, chief~" 08[20:23] "How are you feeling?" [20:23] <@GMnin> "Like shit." [20:23] "We came to see how you were doing." 08[20:24] * Celeste_Dalton nods. "I'm kinda worried about you." [20:24] << Chouta's in the driver seat now >> 03[20:24] * Amamiya is now known as Amamiya_Orie [20:25] <@GMnin> "Well thanks for the feelings." [20:25] <@GMnin> "I hope you guys didn't do anything weird while I wasn't at school." [20:26] << are we supposed to break the news to her? >>; >> [20:26] "Ahaha, depends on what's 'weird'~" [20:26] "..not at school anyway." [20:26] <@GMnin> "So you guys did do something. Spill it." 08[20:27] * Celeste_Dalton looks around to the others, in a "Okay, who's going to explain this, if anyone?" way [20:27] "We got ourselves a temporary clubroom that's all~" [20:27] "I think the culprit should explain." 08[20:28] * Celeste_Dalton nods. [20:28] <@GMnin> "A tempor...what." [20:28] <@GMnin> "How and why?" 08[20:29] "You should know the 'why' already, we've still got lots of unfinished business to take care of." 08[20:29] "Plus a little more we ran into during our little extended nap." [20:30] "I got track of a rumour and it led me to a renting a secluded trailer in a park~" [20:31] <@GMnin> "You mean that haunted place?" [20:31] "Exactly !" [20:31] "That's it!" 08[20:31] "You've heard of it?" [20:31] <@GMnin> "Who hasn't? That old dude's been trying to get rid of it since...ever, really." [20:32] <@GMnin> "Not like it's bad or anything...but seriously you picked up the haunted trailer?" [20:32] "Well... there was a small fee." 06[20:32] * Rais_Altair nods enthuatiastically [20:32] <@GMnin> "How much?" [20:33] "5 bucks a week." 08[20:33] "...5 bucks a week." [20:33] <@GMnin> "Ah...I expect you all to contribute too, you know." [20:33] "Sure~ I was going to pay as long as I get use out of the place anyway~" 08[20:34] "I don't mind too much." [20:34] "Not a problem." [20:35] <@GMnin> "Cool. I guess I'll go tell the others later then." She coughs a bit, shaking her head. "Jeez...My mind is bursting here." 08[20:35] "You alright? Would you like me to take a look at you and maybe try to figure out the problem?" [20:35] "By the way, chief, when was the last time you were in the dream world ?" [20:36] <@GMnin> "Last time? Eh...around two days ago I thought I'd pay it a visit. Why?" [20:36] <@GMnin> "And thanks for the offer, Celeste, but I think it's just a regular headache. A...bad one, but I think it'll be fine." [20:36] "Oh hmm.. when did you started getting the headache ?" [20:37] <@GMnin> "Yesterday." [20:37] <@GMnin> "I overslept and woke up with it." [20:37] "Hmm..." 08[20:37] "Well then.." Celeste pulls out Neide's Miracle Plant. "If it's really nothing, mind if I accelerate the recovery a bit?" [20:38] <@GMnin> "Uhm...sure? I don't think it's such a good idea to always rely on those powers. Keep at it and you'll think you can solve everything with it." [20:38] roll 1d20+11 sense motive [20:38] [Roll] Rais_Altair rolls 1d20+11: 11 + 11 = 22. [ sense motive ] [20:38] <@GMnin> She's...telling the truth? 08[20:38] "But the Miracle Plant is legendary for curing any illness~ Didn't you know~?" [20:38] "..ahaha, must be a really bad migraine then." 08[20:39] * Celeste_Dalton smiles in a semi-silly fashion [20:39] roll 1d20+15 I also have a Sense Motive [20:39] [Roll] Intresia rolls 1d20+15: 9 + 15 = 24. [ I also have a Sense Motive ] [20:39] <@GMnin> She's...telling the truth? [20:39] <@GMnin> Seriously why are you rolling that :V [20:39] << LOL >> [20:39] << for fun ! >> 08[20:39] roll 1d20+11 Also sense motive, for the lulz [20:39] [Roll] Celeste_Dalton rolls 1d20+11: 10 + 11 = 21. [ Also sense motive, for the lulz ] [20:39] <@GMnin> Look above. 08[20:39] << =P >> [20:40] <@GMnin> "Uh...suuuure. Whatever you say, Celeste. I'm just telling you, don't get too caught up in it." [20:40] "Whyever not?" [20:40] <@GMnin> "It's like this. Do you know the saying, "If you have a hammer, everything looks like a nail."? I'm just cautioning you." [20:41] "I still walk places." [20:41] <@GMnin> "Well duh. If you teleported everywhere, you'd be regarded as a monster." [20:42] "In other words don't be overenthuastic about doing things because you can~" 06[20:42] * Intresia laughs a bit 08[20:42] "Yeah, I understand.. sometimes the best cure is to just let things take their course, anyways. But if this develops into something truly abnormal, let me know!" [20:43] <@GMnin> "Yes, yes." [20:43] "I hope you can come visit the club again soon." 08[20:43] "Yes, it's not as much fun without you around." [20:43] <@GMnin> "Haha, I bet. You brats are probably going on too many adventures for me to catch up to." 08[20:44] * Celeste_Dalton giggles. "By the way, I never have showed you Ainel, have I?" [20:44] <@GMnin> "No." 08[20:45] * Celeste_Dalton spins around and proceeds to form all of Ainel's gear on her. 08[20:47] "So, how do I look? Sci-fi-y enough?" [20:47] <@GMnin> Heather whistles in appreciation, nodding. "Pretty cool, pretty cool." 08[20:48] "The majority of the time we spent while on our extended rest was in her world." [20:49] <@GMnin> "Mmmm...I see." [20:50] "Haha.. extended." [20:51] "I didn't think we'd be there for quite so long." 08[20:52] "Yes.. I apologise once again for us staying around in never-never land for too long and endangering your club." [20:52] "It wasn't exactly our choice, but..." [20:53] <@GMnin> "Eh, don't worry 'bout it. I'll expect you to do double the work though!" 08[20:54] "Eheheheheh~ Alright~"" [20:54] "Uwa, can't say I'd look forward to that~" [20:56] "By the way, when it's said that the trailer was haunted, do you know the nature of the haunting rumours ?" [20:56] <@GMnin> "Anyway...it's been nice seeing you guys, but my head is really killing me." Heather groans and sinks back into her bed. "Oh, and about those rumors? Uh...I just heard about the headless girl, but everyone thinks the rumors are all false so..." [20:57] "Aha, interesting~" 08[20:57] "...Xan's gonna love that even more once she hears that." 08[20:58] "Anyways, take care, get plenty of rest, and get well soon~" [20:58] "Well, I suppose we should leave you to your rest, chief~" [20:59] "Take care." [20:59] <@GMnin> "Yeah, take care of yourselves too." 08[20:59] * Celeste_Dalton smiles as she waves goodbye to Heather~ [21:00] "Ja~" 08[21:03] * Celeste_Dalton heads back out, in the meantime [21:04] "See you." 06[21:04] * Intresia heads out 06[21:04] * Rais_Altair follows [21:05] <@GMnin> Where to next? 08[21:05] "Anything else any of you want to do, or will that be it for the night?" [21:05] "Hmm.." [21:06] "I think I'm gonna turn in early, got a new song to work on." [21:06] "I have no plans, so I think I'm going to turn in too." [21:06] "I wanna to head back to my room..." 08[21:07] "Alright then, see you all tomorrow." [21:07] "...I'm kinda hoping some 'important messages' might turn out~" 08[21:07] "Alright, if anything comes up regarding Ainel, call me." [21:07] "Good night~" 08[21:08] "Good night~" [21:08] "...we should have a ghost hunt stake-out at the new place sometime !" [21:09] "Right!" 08[21:10] "Yeah.. though we'll definitely have to get everyone else there for maximum effectiveness." 06[21:10] * Rais_Altair nodnods 08[21:12] "See you guys, then~" 08[21:12] * Celeste_Dalton finally heads back to her dorm room 06[21:12] * Rais_Altair waves goodbye and leaves [21:13] <@GMnin> << So I guess that's it or...do you guys want to do something else. .> 08[21:14] * Celeste_Dalton does the usual routine once she gets back home (check email/message boards, post on site, etc), then crashes into bed [21:15] << oh hmmm... would Rais get MSN- I mean Arcadia responses at home ? >> [21:15] <@GMnin> << Yes. >> 08[21:15] << That's it for the night, unless you have something else (or Rais digs up a clue that leads us somewhere) >> [21:15] <@GMnin> There's a single message for Rais from Sennian, who apologized for being unable to be present when you guys were at the library. Apparently he had some important business to deal with. 06[21:16] * Rais_Altair gets back to his room and does some stretches before check out the PC [21:16] 'Mmmm.. I suppose I could try asking now' [21:18] *cough* "This is Wizard-1 to HQ, can you hear me ?" Rais types in the same message as he speaks. [21:18] <@GMnin> A message pops up several seconds later. "Hah. Hey Rais." [21:19] "Heya~" [21:19] "What was going on anyway ? I kind of have some questions to ask." [21:21] <@GMnin> "It's really private business. Sorry." [21:21] "Oh, nevermind then~" [21:21] "Anyway, there was some guy I never saw before in the library... that doesn't have anything to do with it, does it ?" [21:24] <@GMnin> "Eh...It really does, but its classified stuff." [21:24] "Uwah, strike two." [21:25] "Anyway, we dropped in from Ainel's world with... well, a kind of a clone Ainel ?" [21:26] <@GMnin> "Ah...yeah. RIght." [21:26] "...hoping that we could somehow reconcile Celeste with her or... well, at least get to the bottom of what was going on." [21:26] "The guy just kind of made her disappear, leaving us to wonder what quite happened." [21:27] "...I suppose it was kind of our fault for not closely checking the time when given an hour limit.." [21:27] <@GMnin> "Mmm...Yes, well he is a very, very important person in the Administration. It's no surprise he has such power." 08[21:28] << "Can you say how important?" >> [21:28] "I see... I'm surprised he didn't just take us on right there for being an Administration elite.." [21:29] "...or I suppose he has no obligation to, like he kind of implied ?" [21:29] <@GMnin> "He's...well, he doesn't like doing things he doesn't have to." [21:29] "Uwa, another wildcard." [21:30] "You can't say anything more about him ?" [21:31] <@GMnin> "Nope." [21:31] "Mmmm I see." [21:32] "I think I kind of heard you say 'Watchers' once.. where do 'they' fit into the entire picture ?" [21:33] <@GMnin> "Hmmm...Consider the Administration God. The Watchers would be someone who watches over God itself." [21:34] "Oooo.. so that ladder runs higher.." [21:35] "Hmm.. if the Administration started with people in the dream world, then was there anything about how and when The Watchers were ?" [21:36] <@GMnin> "Perhaps. You definitely wouldn't be allowed any information on it." [21:37] <@GMnin> "If you even tried, you would be killed." [21:37] "Ahaha~ though I suppose it's not like it would help yet at this point." [21:37] "One more thing..." [21:39] <@GMnin> "Yes?" [21:39] "Before all this, when I think of a dream, I just consider it some intangible thoughts weaved in my sleep.." [21:39] "..and I really didn't think about it all that much after becoming an 'Explorer'." [21:41] << I'm gonna call it here...z_z >> [21:41] <@GMnin> << OKay. >> 03[21:41] * Amamiya_Orie is now known as Nayuta_Chouta [21:42] "..now, it kind of feels like it's just an extension of reality.. like just jumping into a parallel world.. another set of dimensions or time.." [21:43] "..where something like a mere person could gain the power to shape it.." [21:45] "How far does 'here' where 'reality' is and 'there' where our 'dreams' are connect ?" [21:46] <@GMnin> "Haha...closer than you think. I'll leave you to figure out the rest...And if you don't, I think I'll just open your eyes a bit more later. I have some plans in motion." [21:47] "Ahaha, I kind of like suprises, but I hope it won't be too 'shocking'~" [21:47] <@GMnin> "Don't worry. I'm sure it'll all make sense somehow."
