03[19:09] * Schala (~essence@216.190.229.105) has joined #talesofadream
[19:09] <GMnin> Much better.
[19:12] <GMnin> So! In your last trip to the dream world, you went to Gensokyo and, coincidentally, ran into your brand new club member! Then Celeste finally revealed she had cold feet and you all escaped after lots of fun hijinx, explosions, and other assorted events! It's the next day right after classes and as usual, you have a club meeting!
08[19:13] <Celeste_Dalton> << Cold feet?! =P >>
06[19:13] * Intresia heads for the club meeting immediately
[19:13] <Rais_Altair> << Rais demands vampire interviews ! >>
08[19:13] * Celeste_Dalton is sitting against the wall, currently reading something on her PDA.
[19:13] <GMnin> << :D >>
06[19:14] * Xan heads to the club room to check on the whole meeting thing, what with not remembering what day meetings are held!
[19:15] <Rais_Altair> "Ya-ho~!!" In his usual greeting, Rais raises one arm as he enters the clubroom, smiling brightly.
08[19:15] * Celeste_Dalton looks up from her PDA at Rais. "Hello~"
[19:16] <Intresia> "Good to see everyone."
[19:16] <GMnin> "As energetic as usual, Rais." Heather says with a smile, raising a hand in greeting. Harvest in also in the club room, calmly sipping a cup of tea as well as Savannah, who as usual is rocking out to some loud power rock. 
06[19:17] * Xan slips in after Rais, upon seeing that people are, indeed, entering the room! ...and pulls up a chair to slump into.
08[19:18] * Celeste_Dalton continues reading what she was reading before.
06[19:18] * Rais_Altair sets down his bookbag as he takes a seat
[19:19] <GMnin> "Well~ Since you're all here~!" Heather says, clapping her hands as she sees Xan enter. "Let's begin our meeting! Since we've been so lucky to get another club member this year, let's introduce ourselves...although maybe she might remember some of us~! Celeste, why don't you start?"
[19:21] <Intresia> << You know, I actually feel a little bad about not using Yukari's official name now ^^;;; >>
08[19:22] * Celeste_Dalton looks back up, and puts her PDA down, taking a deep breath to shake off her recent troubles. "Hello~ My name is Celeste Dalton. I'm a biotech major, in the middle of my second year here at Ceylon. I write stories in my spare time. I hope to get along with all the new people here in the club~"
[19:24] <Intresia> "Intresia Maribel. I'm studying literature, and writing stories myself. I hope everyone here enjoys the club as much as I do."
06[19:25] * Intresia adds, more quietly "This is the first club I didn't get bored of after the first few days."
[19:27] <Rais_Altair> "Rais Altair. I'm doing my second year for art here~" Rais grins. "You can't get bored of this club quickly."
06[19:27] * Intresia laughs and nods. "Of course you can't."
[19:28] <GMnin> "How about you, newbie?" Heather points to Xan.
06[19:29] * Xan glances around, then shakes off the strange sense of dejavu as Heather addresses her. "I'm Xan... first year, Psych student... Horror films are my hobby."
[19:31] <GMnin> "Hmm hmm...Horror films, huh?" Heather grins. "Well, I think I can rustle up a few places for you to visit...But lemme get introductions out of the way first. My name is Heather Camellia...almighty president of this club and an English major."
[19:32] <GMnin> "I'm Harvest Sinensis and I'm a phsyics major...Nice to meet you. I'm sure you'll have fun with us and we'll be more than happy to help you out with anything you have problems with." The tea-drinking teen says, a gentle smile on his face.
[19:32] <GMnin> Savannah, of course, is too absorbed in her music to do anything but wave and nod.
06[19:33] * Xan raises an eyebrow, thinking to herself .o0(...Visit...?) ...of course this comes with a scene of them visiting 'most haunted' places in the city, but she tries not to roll her eyes. Instead she quietly nods to Harvest.
03[19:34] * Maito (~Rayzelvar@cpe-24-175-82-191.tx.res.rr.com) has joined #talesofadream
[19:34] <GMnin> << Hi Maito~ >>
[19:34] <Maito> << hahaha... sorry I'm late >>
[19:34] <Maito> << we went out to eat >>
03[19:35] * Maito is now known as Amamiya_Reiji
[19:35] <GMnin> << You're in the club room and we're doing introductions. Feel free to come in at any time. >>
[19:36] <Rais_Altair> << *paints Heather's van into a replica of the Mystery Machine >>
08[19:36] <Celeste_Dalton> << -_-;;;;;;;;;; >>
[19:37] <GMnin> << :V >>
[19:39] <Intresia> << Looks like we've got another mystery on our hands! >>
08[19:40] <Celeste_Dalton> << And I would've gotten away with it, too, if it weren't for you meddling kids! (And that mangy mutt, too!) >>
[19:41] <GMnin> "So, lemme introduce you to what we actually do." Heather says. "Have you...Hmmm, how should I put this now? Have you ever believed in the concept of parallel universes?"
[19:41] <Xan> "Ever since my dad sat me in front of the TV and made me watch The Twilight Zone."
[19:42] <Intresia> "Nice show."
[19:43] <GMnin> Heather smirks a bit. "I see...well, it's a good thing then, cause this isn't going to be as unbelievable. You see, there are parallel universes and they're all linked to once place called the Dream World, which you can only access in your dreams. Unfortunately, almost everyone doesn't realize this. Only a few people can ever fully remember what they have done in their dreams."
[19:44] <GMnin> "We, the members of this club, however, have these..." Heather pulls out a small, silver tag. "Tag thingies that let us remain conscious while dreaming and thus actually decide what we do in our dreams. They're really convenient...and they let us basically travel around and visit any worlds we want to visit."
[19:46] <GMnin> "Good enough explanation so far?"
06[19:47] * Xan raises both eyebrows at this one "...I'm following."
[19:48] <GMnin> "Good! Catch." Heather tosses one of the tags at Xan. "Keep this around when you sleep tonight. It'll let you be fully aware of what the hell you're doing and we can begin your training."
[19:51] <Amamiya_Reiji> "It'll be fun. As long as you listen to instructions!"
[19:53] <Rais_Altair> "Hehe, stage 1 coming up~"
06[19:53] * Xan barely catches the item before it falls down somewhere embarassing, like her shirt, then blinks "...Training...?"
08[19:54] * Celeste_Dalton nods, raising her head up from her PDA. "You'll definitely enjoy it!"
08[19:54] <Celeste_Dalton> (...I hope I'll enjoy the next world we're going to more than that Gensokyo place...)
[19:55] <GMnin> "Well, I think that'll be it for official stuff, so why don't you talk amongst yourselves for a bit. I've got something to discuss with Harvest."
08[19:56] * Celeste_Dalton returns to whatever she was reading before.
[19:56] <Rais_Altair> "Okay, chief~"
08[19:56] <Celeste_Dalton> << or I should say what she was reading before. >>
08[19:56] <Celeste_Dalton> << =P >>
06[19:58] * Xan eyes the tag curiously, considering putting it on
[19:58] <Intresia> "Hmm... I'm not sure Gensokyo would fit your tastes properly either, but... I'm sure we'll go back sometime."
[19:59] <Xan> "Gen...sokyo?"
[19:59] <Rais_Altair> "Werewolves. Let's go where there's werewolves~. I didn't get to see the vampire last time."
[19:59] <Intresia> "I don't think Celeste would've liked visiting Remilia's place."
[20:00] <Intresia> << <Celeste> What? They're even MORE trigger-happy here? NOOOOOOooooooooooo! >>
08[20:00] <Celeste_Dalton> << =P >>
06[20:00] * Xan glances at Rais and smiles... just a small bit
[20:01] <Rais_Altair> "Let's go back there without her sometime then~"
[20:01] <Intresia> "Next time she isn't around?"
08[20:01] <Celeste_Dalton> << <Ainel> Stop chickening out! You don't have to hurt people to fight! >>
06[20:01] * Rais_Altair nod nods
[20:01] <GMnin> << :D >>
[20:02] <Rais_Altair> "By the way, where are you from.. Xan ?"
[20:02] <Xan> "Everywhere."
[20:02] <Intresia> "A wanderer then?"
[20:03] <Xan> "My father was in the military."
[20:03] <Rais_Altair> "Ahaha~ you're kinda like me then ? mixed blood and gets around alot ?" Rais lolfangs
[20:03] <Rais_Altair> "Ahh~"
08[20:05] * Celeste_Dalton sighs, putting the PDA down, then closes her eyes while leaning back, and says to herself "Ainel.."
[20:05] <Intresia> "What's wrong?"
[20:06] <GMnin> << It's her lesbian lover :V >>
08[20:06] <Celeste_Dalton> << *falls* >>
08[20:06] <Celeste_Dalton> << And I will strangle anyone who dares to draw up Celeste x Neide x Ainel yuri. >>
[20:07] <GMnin> << :V >>
[20:07] <Intresia> << T-t-threeway?! >>
[20:07] <Rais_Altair> << Nice suggestion ! >>
08[20:07] <Celeste_Dalton> << -_-;;;;; >>
[20:08] <Intresia> << The thought never crossed my mind until you mentioned it. >>
[20:08] <GMnin> << Yeah :V >>
08[20:08] * Celeste_Dalton snaps out of her look of what appeared to be deep thought, and looks up to Intresia, with a bit of surprise. "Huh? Were you talking to me?"
[20:10] <Intresia> << Who WAS Ainel, anyway? >>
[20:11] <Intresia> << Is. >>
[20:11] <Intresia> "You want to visit Ainel, then?"
08[20:11] <Celeste_Dalton> << Ainel is the main character of another story Celeste write, which is more sci-fi-y and action-y than the one involving Neide. >>
08[20:12] <Celeste_Dalton> "That's about as possible as me meeting Neide."
[20:12] <Intresia> "Ah, true, you're more likely to be her."
[20:13] <Intresia> "Her world, then?"
08[20:15] * Celeste_Dalton nods. "Heather brought that idea up when I mentioned Ainel to her as well.. but it's been so long ago that I started writing that story that I don't remember much about it. So I've been reading back up on what I've written of her story to jog my memory."
[20:15] <GMnin> << <Celeste> Dude I sucked before. >>
06[20:15] * Rais_Altair wonders whether there'd be another witch they'd have to overthrow if they go there
06[20:16] * Xan quietly fiddles with the tag, "Werewolves... hm... monsters... would be interesting..."
08[20:16] <Celeste_Dalton> "It might be even worse. I simply stopped having dreams of that world one day."
08[20:16] <Celeste_Dalton> << Err, actually, no, retcon that >>
08[20:17] <Celeste_Dalton> << =P >>
08[20:17] <Celeste_Dalton> << Didn't realize Rais was thinking that. >>
[20:17] <Intresia> << Okay, Intresia would've been worried otherwise~ >>
08[20:17] <Celeste_Dalton> << Unless I want to go and unlock Ainel's telepathy right now =P >>
[20:17] <Rais_Altair> << there'd be three witches then ! >>
[20:19] <Intresia> << I need to write more stuff for Intresia... >>
08[20:19] <Celeste_Dalton> "But all of a sudden I stopped having dreams of the world she lived in one day, and from then on my dreams focused almost entirely on Neide."
06[20:20] * Intresia blanches. "That's... worrying..."
[20:20] <Rais_Altair> "Hmm~ so you remember that you did have dreams of it ?"
[20:21] <Intresia> "Most of mine centred on Gensokyo, but there were definitely others."
08[20:22] * Celeste_Dalton nods. "All the stories I publish on my website are derived from my dreams, from the one-off short stories to the lengthy recurring story of Neide."
[20:22] <Intresia> "Same for my stories about Yukari."
[20:23] <Intresia> "I've written a lot."
[20:23] <Rais_Altair> "I'm so envious that you two can remember them so well~"
[20:24] <Intresia> "Oh, the Dream World has been important to me for a long time. Much longer than I knew it was real."
[20:25] <Rais_Altair> "I suppose that's why the Gensokyo residents know you so well~"
06[20:25] * Intresia nods proudly
08[20:26] * Celeste_Dalton smiles. "I always thought it was normal for people for so long to have so many and such clear dreams for so long."
[20:26] <Intresia> "Sounds like we were both natural for this club~"
08[20:26] <Celeste_Dalton> "Looks like it~"
08[20:27] <Celeste_Dalton> << I take it there's no Heather in the clubroom right now? >>
[20:27] <GMnin> << She is actually still in the clubroom, just whispering with Harvest. >>
[20:27] <Rais_Altair> "Ahh~ I suppose I'm more grounded in reality than I thought. I never remembered dreams too well."
06[20:28] * Xan sits quietly, listening to the banter with a somewhat bored expression now, "I can... remember sometimes... recently they haven't... been 'right'."
[20:29] <Intresia> "Maybe we should go to your world next? Actually... that might be a good idea."
08[20:31] * Celeste_Dalton spots Heather in the corner of the room, and starts walking up to her. "Scuse me, but I have a question for you~"
[20:31] <Rais_Altair> "Reminds me that I had the Earl to try look it up while he was still working..."
[20:31] <GMnin> "Yes?"
[20:31] <Rais_Altair> "...well, I suppose we could all go there when I eventually find it~"
06[20:31] * Xan glances at Intresia, wondering if she were addressing her, then sits back when she realizes she was addressing Rais
08[20:32] <Celeste_Dalton> "Those adventures of Ainel have got me thinking a little bit.. you said way back when I joined the club that dream weapons can take several different forms, did you not?"
[20:32] <Rais_Altair> "I'd sure like to see Xan's when she's able to access it though~"
[20:33] <Intresia> "I should stretch my border-manipulation skills some more, too~"
[20:34] <GMnin> "Yeah, of course I did."
[20:37] <Xan> "Border manipulation...?" 
[20:37] <Intresia> "Oh, it's my skill."
08[20:37] <Celeste_Dalton> "Then, by that extension.." She takes a quick look at Rais. "would it be possible to have multiple Dream World identities? Sort of like Rais, but.. a more total change."
[20:37] <Intresia> "The easiest uses are..." *blinks*
[20:38] <Intresia> "You mean, you might be Ainel as well?"
[20:38] <GMnin> "Of course." Heather shrugs. "It's certainly possible, but I've never actually attempted to make another identity, for obvious reasons. Harvest is content with how he is too."
[20:39] <Intresia> "I'm happy being Yukari. Who else would I be?"
08[20:39] * Celeste_Dalton turns to Intresia. "...Maybe."
[20:40] <Amamiya_Reiji> << er... I was away for a bit... can someone fill me in? >>
[20:40] <GMnin> << We're just talking about stuff. >>
[20:40] <GMnin> << Like Celeste might actually also be another person. And Xan likes werewolves. >>
[20:40] <Rais_Altair> "I believe my dream world identity is a composite, so I don't think I can have very radical changes either~"
08[20:42] <Celeste_Dalton> "Well, remember when I came here I thought this was some sort of roleplaying club?"
[20:42] <Rais_Altair> "Uhuh ?"
[20:43] <GMnin> "Yep. That's was hilarious."
06[20:43] * Intresia giggles
[20:44] <Xan> "Drema form... hm..." 
08[20:45] <Celeste_Dalton> "Well.. despite most of my dreams centering around Neide.. I've actually liked to play a fairly wide range of personalities, and.. after reading up on Ainel, I think it's possible I might be letting Neide's ultrapacifist attitude influence me too deeply and drag you all down a bit, and it might be time to change things up a bit."
[20:46] <GMnin> "Ho ho ho~ So no more White Mage Celeste? That's a shame, I named a character in my game after you." Heather says with a grin.
[20:47] <Intresia> "Well, Neide certainly isn't the Gensokyo type."
08[20:47] <Celeste_Dalton> "No, she's not.. and I kinda feel responsible for getting in the way of your fun."
[20:48] <Intresia> "It's alright. I had plenty."
[20:48] <Rais_Altair> "As long as you don't end up digging out somekind of monster from your past !" Rais says jokingly
[20:48] <GMnin> << BOXCUTTER CELESTE! >>
[20:49] <Rais_Altair> << *a nice boat sails by >>
08[20:50] <Celeste_Dalton> "You don't need to worry.. Neide won't be going away, and Ainel's actually not radically different.. but unlike Neide, she's not afraid to fight to right wrongs."
06[20:50] * Xan grins slightly as she sits back, the image of Celeste as Freddy Kreuger now imbedded in her brain... but otherwise she just quietly sits there, a bit lost on the social waves
[20:51] <Rais_Altair> "Like how you're not afraid of rushing headfirst with a stick ?"
[20:51] <Intresia> << Nice boat? No, that's Kefir. >>
06[20:51] * Amamiya_Reiji blinks, being really confused by the conversation. That's what he gets for spacing out while thinking about his sister's health. Not that he'd ever tell that to anyone.
08[20:53] * Celeste_Dalton sweatdrops.
08[20:54] <Celeste_Dalton> "But yeah.. I hope that a little change in pace will help me get back to being my usual self.."
[20:54] <Rais_Altair> << WHM with steel claws, that'd be a great concept ! >>
08[20:55] <Celeste_Dalton> << -_-; >>
[20:55] <Intresia> "Lets hope~"
[20:55] <Xan> ((o.o))
[20:57] <Rais_Altair> "Ehehe, if it is such a radical change, it could be a great advantage."
08[20:58] * Celeste_Dalton nods.
06[20:59] * Amamiya_Reiji makes random motions as he tries to piece the tidbits of conversation together, looking very confused and lost still.
[20:59] <GMnin> "Well, glad you're gonna have a change of heart~" Heather says with a smile. "Anyway, everything has been settled, so I guess that'll be the end of this meeting. If you want to talk some more, feel free to. As for you Reiji, it was simply girl talk~ Just discussing dream forms and stuff."
[20:59] <GMnin> She stands up, along with Harvest and the two of them leave the club room.
[21:00] <Rais_Altair> "Later, chief~"
08[21:00] <Celeste_Dalton> "See you later tonight~"
[21:01] <Intresia> "See you later!"
[21:01] <Amamiya_Reiji> "See ya!"
[21:02] <GMnin> "See ya~"
[21:02] <GMnin> << You can continue talking or we can timeskip to Night. >>
08[21:02] <Celeste_Dalton> << I think I'm ready for TIIIIME WAAAAAARP~!!. >>
[21:03] <Intresia> << Sure. Lets do the time warp again~ >>
[21:03] <Amamiya_Reiji> << yeppers >>
[21:04] <Intresia> << One second though >>
[21:05] <Rais_Altair> << ~ >>
[21:06] <Intresia> << Back >>
[21:07] <GMnin> After some more talking and good byes, you all head back to your respective homes/apartments. It's a pleasant evening with your typical late night shows and soon enough, you're all asleep. Minutes later, you found yourself in the familiar (or not so familiar for Xan) realm of the Dream World. 
[21:07] <GMnin> The comfortable blackness settles all around you and soon enough you can see Heather in the middle of the gloom, an irritated look on her face as she points a gauntleted hand at Charles.
[21:08] <Intresia> "What's going on now?"
[21:08] <Amamiya_Reiji> "No idea. Do you know?"
08[21:08] * Celeste_Dalton shrugs.
[21:08] <Rais_Altair> "Ya-ho~" Rais appears, stretching his arms a little
[21:09] <GMnin> "Look, you son of a bitch, why the hell won't you lemme choose where I wanna go." Heather growls angrily, the gem glowing extremely faintly. "By god if my club members weren't coming here I would blast your face right off of your body."
[21:09] <GMnin> "Sorry, rules~" Charles says with a fake expression of sadness. 
[21:10] <Rais_Altair> "Hmmmm~ care to elaborate on these 'rules' ?"
[21:10] <GMnin> "Nope. It's a secret."
06[21:11] * Xan looks around quickly at first, then takes a slow glance at the others... staring a bit at the large gauntlet on Heather's arm and thinking, .o0(...That looks kind of cool.)
06[21:11] * Intresia looks over at Xan, a little worried
06[21:12] * Amamiya_Reiji stretches, having worn only his pajama pants again. He kept forgetting to put on a t-shirt or something...
[21:12] <Rais_Altair> "Oh~ ? Is it a secret because your bosses would stomp on you for saying anything about it ?"
[21:13] <GMnin> "Perhaps, perhaps~ Or maybe I just don't like you guys." Charles says with a malicious smile. "Nevertheless, perhaps you can weasel that coward Hayashi into warping you somewhere. I'll be watching though~" He immediately disappears into thin air.
[21:13] <Rais_Altair> roll 1d20+11 sense motive
[21:13] <Schala> [Roll] Rais_Altair rolls 1d20+11: 8 + 11 = 19. [ sense motive ]
08[21:14] <Celeste_Dalton> roll 1d20+12 What the heck, why not. Neide Sense Motive as well.
[21:14] <Schala> [Roll] Celeste_Dalton rolls 1d20+12: 4 + 12 = 16. [ What the heck, why not. Neide Sense Motive as well. ]
08[21:14] <Celeste_Dalton> << HAHI >>
[21:14] <GMnin> You believe he's telling the truth!
[21:14] <GMnin> Both of you!
[21:14] <GMnin> In that he really hates your guts. HE doesn't try too hard to conceal it.
08[21:14] * Celeste_Dalton sighs.
[21:14] <Intresia> roll 1d20+15
[21:14] <Schala> [Roll] Intresia rolls 1d20+15: 2 + 15 = 17.
[21:14] <Rais_Altair> "Heh, jerks stay jerks."
[21:15] <Intresia> "Apparently."
[21:15] <Rais_Altair> << was he telling the truth about rules though ? >>
08[21:15] <Celeste_Dalton> "...Looks like it."
[21:15] <GMnin> << You can't tell anything about that. >>
[21:15] <Xan> "Who... was that?" *narrows her eyes slightly*
[21:15] <Rais_Altair> "That, Xan, was a boogieman."
[21:16] <Amamiya_Reiji> "Just Charles."
[21:16] <Intresia> roll 1d20+15 << HP on rules. >>
[21:16] <Schala> [Roll] Intresia rolls 1d20+15: 8 + 15 = 23. [ << HP on rules. >> ]
[21:16] <Intresia> << 33 >>
08[21:16] <Celeste_Dalton> << Schala seems to not like us today either. >>
[21:17] <Xan> "...A pathetic looking one, then."
[21:17] <GMnin> << He was telling the truth about the rules! At least, you're pretty certain about that. >>
[21:17] <Intresia> "Somehow, it does seem to be against the rules... but he's still a jerk."
08[21:18] <Celeste_Dalton> "Anyways, while we're down here teaching our newcomer about the basics of dream weapons and the like.. I'd like to experiment a little bit."
[21:18] <GMnin> "Go ahead. No skin off my back." Heather grumbles, adjusting her gauntlet a bit. 
[21:19] <Rais_Altair> "Mmm.. where do we start then ?"
08[21:20] * Celeste_Dalton reverts from Neide to her normal, fluffy nighttime pajama clothed look. She then has a bit of a look of concentration on her face as she tries to visualize Ainel's appearance in her mind once again.
08[21:20] <Celeste_Dalton> << Am I going to need to roll anything to see if I pull this off or not, or do I go ahead and go through with it? >>
[21:21] <GMnin> << Hmmm...Lemme think. >>
[21:22] <GMnin> << Roll your Int. >>
[21:22] <GMnin> << Actually Int+Wis >>
08[21:23] <Celeste_Dalton> roll 1d20+6 Celeste Int+Wis
[21:23] <Schala> [Roll] Celeste_Dalton rolls 1d20+6: 4 + 6 = 10. [ Celeste Int+Wis ]
08[21:23] <Celeste_Dalton> << HAHIIIII~ >>
[21:23] <Amamiya_Reiji> << insta kill. >>
08[21:23] <Celeste_Dalton> << ...Naaaaah. I'm not going to accept this string of low rolls. HP! >>
08[21:23] <Celeste_Dalton> roll 1d20+6 Celeste Int+Wis
[21:23] <Schala> [Roll] Celeste_Dalton rolls 1d20+6: 16 + 6 = 22. [ Celeste Int+Wis ]
[21:24] <GMnin> Celeste concentrats with all her might, memories of her past character slowly flowing to the surface where they just...stop. Other people can see a faint image of this Ainel she speaks up, but it isn't solid. With just a little more effort and luck, she might be able to pull it off later. Probably also if she visited Ainel's original world.
[21:25] <Intresia> "Almost!"
08[21:25] <Celeste_Dalton> "...Looks like it's not happening.. yet."
08[21:26] <Celeste_Dalton> "But yes, I was very close! Maybe with a little more exposure to things related to her.. like if I can remember the name of her world.."
[21:27] <Amamiya_Reiji> "Hm... Have you finished brushing up on your previous writings of her?"
[21:28] <GMnin> "Well you'll get it with time, probably. Don't worry about it."
[21:28] <Intresia> "Right."
08[21:28] * Celeste_Dalton nods "Just about. I got to the last chapter before I went to sleep. I remember it being a pretty anticlimactic ending, though."
06[21:29] * Xan picks at the bottom of her worn out Friday the 13th shirt, also being in boxers that are just barely intact, then glances back up at the others, idly musing to herself about this is weird and she needs a new shirt
08[21:29] <Celeste_Dalton> "If you could even call it an 'ending'. I think it just sorta stays there, clearly looking unfinished."
[21:29] <Intresia> "Well, that's good, I guess."
08[21:30] * Celeste_Dalton meanwhile returns back to Neide. "So I'm going to be Neide for a little while longer."
[21:30] <GMnin> "Oh hey Xan, there are you. Sorry we ignored you." Heather says. "Now...hmmm, you notice how everywhere...well, almost everyone, here is wearing something radically different from normal wear? Like...you know, my armor and guantlet? And sword too, actually."
06[21:31] * Xan glances over to Heather, nodding slightly
06[21:31] * Amamiya_Reiji shrugs, looking away. .oO(I'm not wearing my clothes... I dun wanna change yet... It's so comfy...) he rambles in his mind...
[21:32] <GMnin> "Well, if you want a kickass pair of your own, all you have to do is concentrate. Think about what you seriously want to be or who you look up to. If you just concentrate, you'll form your Dream Weapon and Armor, special weapons and things made from the power of your will and the strength of your dreams."
06[21:35] * Xan nods, bowing her head slightly, "Alright... I'll give it a whirl. Hope it looks as cool as that gauntlet." The last part being said rather genuinely, no sarcasm whatsoever... some definite admiration though. She then closes her eyes in a somewhat meditative manner... and concentrates!
06[21:35] * Intresia winces a little at the gauntlet comment
08[21:35] * Celeste_Dalton winces even more.
[21:36] <Xan> roll 1d20+7 Will
[21:36] <Schala> [Roll] Xan rolls 1d20+7: 10 + 7 = 17. [ Will ]
06[21:36] * Rais_Altair fakes a freddy krueger pose with -his- gauntlet
[21:37] <Intresia> "Please... don't talk about her gauntlet that way..."
[21:37] <GMnin> "Hahah, glad ya like it~" Heather smirks a bit.
08[21:39] <Celeste_Dalton> << Hilariously enough, Ainel has a pair of <s>gauntlets</s> gloves of her own. =P >>
08[21:39] <Celeste_Dalton> << Which give her psychic powers! >>
[21:40] <Amamiya_Reiji> << what's with you guys and gauntlets!? >>
[21:40] <GMnin> << Hey creepy gauntlets look cool :| >>
06[21:42] * Xan suddenly becomes wrapped in the same inky darkness around each of them, though rather than creating some pretty frilly dress or something equally girltastic, it forms a set of heavy, black iron full plate armor akin to Nightmare or Berserk Guts that lacks a helm. If that wasn't enough, she too soon holds in her hand that 5 1/2' long greatsword that looks rather plain, save for the fact it's so black it seems to absorb what little
[21:42] <Schala> [Warning] Xan, your message was cut off! Here's where it ended:  fact it's so black it seems to absorb what little
[21:42] <Xan> (( light is in the area. ))
[21:43] <Intresia> "The familiar armour's back."
08[21:43] * Celeste_Dalton nods. "You did it!"
[21:43] <Intresia> "Congratulations."
06[21:44] * Amamiya_Reiji stares, grinning. "Awesome sword."
[21:46] <GMnin> "Heeey...niiice." Heather grins.
06[21:47] * Xan plants the sword in the ground, then looks over her armor appraisingly, before looking back at them, "I managed to catch something about 'familiar armor'?"
[21:47] <GMnin> "Hahaha, well, we saw ya around."
08[21:47] <Celeste_Dalton> "Yeah.. a couple of times now."
[21:48] <Intresia> "You don't remember us, do you? Can't be helped if not."
[21:49] <Xan> "I just remember some really weird dreams after I went to sleep during infomercial hour." *eyes them with those creepy, backlit eyes of hers* 
02[21:49] * Rais_Altair (~grasblade@60.51.85.25) Quit (Ping timeout: 740 seconds)
[21:49] <Intresia> "We've been in the same dream as you before."
03[21:52] * Rais (~grasblade@118.100.113.85) has joined #talesofadream
[21:52] <Rais> << gah >>
[21:52] <GMnin> << You didn't miss much. >>
06[21:52] * Xan raises an eyebrow, then grunts slightly as she lifts the ridiculous sized sword onto her shoulder, "...So, werewolves. Or any sort of not fairycrap monster... where do we go to meet'em?"
[21:53] <Amamiya_Reiji> "Whenever Heather decides to make us."
[21:53] <GMnin> "Hahaha, you're this eager? Well...I was gonna send you to someplace cool, but Charles refused to send me there." Heather mutters.
[21:55] <GMnin> "God I could blast his head off."
08[21:56] <Celeste_Dalton> "Somehow I doubt it, even with that gauntlet of yours. And even if you could, I really don't think it's all that good an idea to try."
[21:56] <Amamiya_Reiji> "I second that."
[21:57] <Intresia> "If only I could lock him in the same room as Sikieki for a while... and I agree with them. You shouldn't use that gauntlet any more than strictly neccessary."
[21:57] <GMnin> "Psh, I knew you would object, which is why I didn't do it in the first place."
08[21:59] <Celeste_Dalton> "Well.. even if Charles and whatever his 'rules' are won't let you.. Hayashi here still can, right?"
08[21:59] <Celeste_Dalton> << won't let you go there, that is., >>
[22:00] <GMnin> "Maybe, maybe. He's still a low rank on the totem pole, so I dunno how much push he has. Howard was a lot more experienced..." Heather mutters, scratching her head. "Well, we can only hope he can....HEY HAYASHI!"
02[22:01] * Rais (~grasblade@118.100.113.85) Quit (Read error: Operation timed out)
06[22:01] * Xan strolls off to the side, getting the hang of moving in the armor
[22:03] <GMnin> "H-Huh? You called for me?" Hayashi appears a little ways away from Heather, multiple screens around him. He blinks as he looks at everyone. "A-Ah...a new recruit. Um...Xantara Dark, was it?"
06[22:03] * Xan glances at Hayashi, nodding slightly when her name is called, "Just 'Xan'."
[22:05] <GMnin> "Ah...I see. Well then, how can I help you all? There's...really not much I can do though. The administration has...put a lock-down on Heather and...anyone else she's travelling with."
[22:05] <GMnin> "A lock-down?! The hell is that?" Heather growls out.
[22:05] <Intresia> "Why would they do something like that?"
06[22:05] * Amamiya_Reiji decides to change into his dream form, frowning. "Why?"
08[22:06] <Celeste_Dalton> "Whaaa!?"
[22:06] <GMnin> "We...can't do anything you ask of us. I mean, I could possibly transport you, but it'd have to be extremely disguised..." Hayashi murmurs. "I don't even know why...It's just how it is."
06[22:07] * Xan raises an eyebrow, then narrows her eyes, forming an incredibly fierce scowl in reply to Hayashi's news
[22:07] <GMnin> "Ugh...bullshit, bullshit, bullshit!" Heather shouts, stomping her foot and shoving her sword into the darkness.
08[22:08] <Celeste_Dalton> "You've gotta be kidding me! I've still got a kingdom to help rebuild, and.. how the heck am I going to go train now?"
[22:09] <GMnin> "I-I'm sorry...Like I said, I can transport you...but I'll have to devote some systems to disguising the warp instead of protecting you..."
08[22:10] <Celeste_Dalton> "........."
[22:11] <Intresia> "How dangerous will that be?"
[22:11] <Xan> "And I suppose we can't just go ask this bullshit administration what their problem is? I could probably 'negotiate' with them well..." *hefts the sword handle slightly
[22:12] <GMnin> "It...could be dangerous if you go in unprepared. I mean, we make barriers to protect your mind from feeling any of the damage that you experience in the dream...It's the reason many people are still sane after some of their nightmares." Hayashi explains. "I'd lower some of them...you'd suffer some mental harm, but it should be light and easily repairable."
[22:12] <Amamiya_Reiji> "Uhh.... they might just ban us from going to the worlds in general then... can they?"
08[22:12] <Celeste_Dalton> "Xan, that's.. not going to be a good idea.. you don't want to make the whole organization your enemy.. a transfer of limited protection is better than no transfer at all."
[22:13] <GMnin> "A-And they can...essentially, this is what they've just done." Hayashi says to Reiji. "As for going up against the administration...p-please don't. They could e-easily erase your existance."
08[22:13] <Celeste_Dalton> "Erase your existance?!?"
[22:14] <GMnin> "Y-Yeah...It's a simple move, really...I've only seen it done several times, but...with the way things are going..."
[22:14] <Intresia> "What's going on?"
[22:15] <GMnin> "I can't believe this...it's with anyone I'm travelling with, right? So what if I just go somewhere alone? These guys'd be free, right?" Heather says, angry.
[22:15] <GMnin> "P-Perhaps...I don't know."
[22:16] <Intresia> "... I don't like this at all."
08[22:17] * Celeste_Dalton nods, silently. "What prompted this, anyways? Was it something Heather did?"
[22:18] <GMnin> "I don't know...I was only informed of the lockdown."
06[22:18] * Xan keeps her eyes narrowed, setting her sword back down rather loudly and putting her arms over the handle to prop her head, staring at Hayashi silently
06[22:21] * Amamiya_Reiji sweatdrops, waving at Xan. "You look like you're gonna murder him..."
[22:22] <GMnin> "This is so pissing me off." Heather groans. "Fine, whatever, if it takes the heat off them, I'll just laze around here and wait for 'em. I don't suppose Harvest and the others are under lockdown?"
[22:22] <GMnin> "Lemme check..." Hayashi turns to a monitor and types out several commands. "Ah...yes...all of them. Except for...Savannah, Priscilla, and Sophia...New entries to your club, I believe."
[22:23] <Intresia> "..."
08[22:23] <Celeste_Dalton> "....."
[22:24] <Amamiya_Reiji> "Uh..."
08[22:24] <Celeste_Dalton> "If you can check, then, can you see if we're under lockdown?"
[22:24] <GMnin> "O-Oh...you guys aren't under lockdown..."
[22:25] <GMnin> "J-Just Heather...for now. They've posted a warning on you guys though..."
[22:25] <Intresia> "... what? Why?"
[22:25] <Xan> "...Including myself?" 
[22:25] <Intresia> "We haven't done anything wrong."
08[22:26] * Celeste_Dalton nods. "We haven't moved directly against him."
08[22:26] <Celeste_Dalton> "Or anyone in the organization, at that."
[22:26] <GMnin> "No...N-Not Xan. Just...everyone else, really?"
08[22:29] <Celeste_Dalton> "Well.. I think we should be fine going down by ourselves. As long as this isn't a world like Gensokyo.. I should be fine being a proper leader."
[22:31] <GMnin> "You better take care of everyone, since I can't." Heather snaps.
[22:32] <GMnin> "Sigh...sorry, I'm kinda pissed. I'm gonna leave before I blow. Take everyone Umbra, that's where my destination was." Heather says before disappearing.
08[22:33] * Celeste_Dalton nods. "I'll be extra careful, now that I know you can't be with us."
[22:33] <GMnin> *to Umbra
[22:34] <Intresia> "I wonder what sort of place Umbra is."
[22:35] <Amamiya_Reiji> "I just know it's gonna be crazy..."
[22:37] <Intresia> "Crazy can be good."
08[22:37] <Celeste_Dalton> "As long as it's not Gensokyo crazy."
[22:38] <Intresia> "I disagree on that, to be honest."
[22:38] <Intresia> "But lets go."
[22:39] <Xan> "As long as we don't have to deal with anymore buearacratic bullshit." *turns her steely gaze away from Hayashi and steps towards the others again
[22:39] <GMnin> "S-So you're going? Please...don't do anything too out of hand or else you might get lockdown'd as well." Hayashi murmurs as he opens up another screen. 
08[22:39] * Celeste_Dalton nods.
[22:40] <GMnin> "Preparing trip to Umbra..." He says before opening a bluish portal into what appears to be a foreboding world. The sky is a blood red and dark, grayish clouds of steam waft into the sky from what appears to be a low-tech city. "Keep your wits about you...And enjoy the trip."
08[22:42] <Celeste_Dalton> "That doesn't look very inviting.. but here goes.."
08[22:42] * Celeste_Dalton steps through first.
06[22:42] * Intresia follows
06[22:42] * Amamiya_Reiji follows afterwards, humming.
[22:43] <GMnin> << That is where we'll end our session today~ Thanks for playing and I hope you enjoyed it. AND UNCOVER THE SECRETS OF THE ADMINISTRATION. >>
[22:43] <Xan> (( They're Gaia Online elitists! *shot* ))
[22:43] <GMnin> << :D >>
[22:44] <GMnin> << Once again, if you have any comments or suggestions, please tell me~ >>
[22:44] <GMnin> << I will have logs and PP gain later. When I'm at my own comp. >>
08[22:45] <Celeste_Dalton> << Yay~ Okay >>
14[22:45] * Amamiya_Reiji (~Rayzelvar@cpe-24-175-82-191.tx.res.rr.com) has left #talesofadream
08[22:45] <Celeste_Dalton> << is kinda hoping Umbra winds up being a "They LOOK creepy, but they're actually kinda nice once you get to know 'em" world. =P >>
[22:46] <GMnin> It...isn't :|
03[22:46] * GMnin is now known as Tythanin
08[22:46] <Celeste_Dalton> << :( >>
[22:46] <Tythanin> I read the profile.
[22:46] <Tythanin> It isn't.
[22:46] <Tythanin> At all. 
[22:46] <Tythanin> Well, maybe a bit.
[22:46] <Xan> It's fuckass backwards :D 
08[22:46] <Celeste_Dalton> -_-;;;
[22:46] <Tythanin> Hmmm...I need to find a way to involve Reiji more. He never really does much.
[22:47] <Xan> YAY ELVES WANNA GENOCIDE YOU ALL ...but the vampires just wanna be left alone.
08[22:47] <Celeste_Dalton> maito doesn't do much in nanoha either.
[22:47] <Tythanin> That is true.
[22:47] <Tythanin> Still, I wanna give everyone their own piece of the spotlight.
[22:47] <Tythanin> Well, I'll have to think about that.
[22:47] <Tythanin> Also people should use the suggestion box :|
[22:47] <Tythanin> Unless what I'm doing now is perfectly fine.
08[22:48] <Celeste_Dalton> I don't have much in the way of things to suggest =P
[22:48] <Xan> I'm still a noob :<
[22:49] <Tythanin> So am I~
08[22:49] <Celeste_Dalton> to RPing, rachel?
08[22:49] <Celeste_Dalton> or just M&M?
[22:49] <Xan> M&M
08[22:49] <Celeste_Dalton> ah
[22:50] <Xan> I've tried many times to get into a M&M game to no avail
08[22:50] <Celeste_Dalton> yeah, I'm still coming to grips with M&M myself.
[22:50] <Xan> RP and IRC? 10 year vet. XD
08[22:50] <Celeste_Dalton> same here =P
[22:50] <Tythanin> wut
[22:50] <Intresia> Longer here, IIRC
08[22:50] <Celeste_Dalton> actually, more like 12 years now XD
06[22:50] * Tythanin only has like one and a half years.
[22:50] <Tythanin> Maybe 2.
[22:50] <Intresia> Yeah, Tyth's the newbie ^^;;
08[22:51] <Celeste_Dalton> =P
08[22:51] <Celeste_Dalton> but M&M is a big and complicated system with lots of possibilities, and I'm still constantly finding new and interesting powers (and new and interesting ways to use them).
08[22:51] <Celeste_Dalton> even though I've now been fiddling with it for, like, a year now.
06[22:53] * Tythanin goes to get dinner.
08[22:53] * Celeste_Dalton can only hope it only takes him that long to pick up D&D 3.5e.
[22:53] <Xan> I'd say '3.5e's easy :D' ...but um, I bought my first AD&D set when I was 10... 2nd ed ._.
[22:54] <Intresia> Ahaha
[22:54] <Intresia> I started with WFRP
08[22:54] <Celeste_Dalton> -_-;;;
[22:54] <Tythanin> I started with Nanoha~
03[22:54] * Celeste_Dalton is now known as Tilus
[22:55] <Xan> I is a nerd ._.
03[22:55] * Xan is now known as Rachel
[22:55] <Intresia> Nothing wrong with being a nerd
03[22:55] * Intresia is now known as Patchoulli
08[22:55] <Tilus> I started out with this final fantasy related email RP/storytelling thing way back in like november '96 or so.
08[22:56] <Tilus> and in that Tilus was a BLM. Literally. =P
08[22:57] <Tilus> and then mostly after that was freeform and board based RP until like '02-'03 or so, when I started delving into spontaneous rule based chat RP
08[22:57] <Tilus> mostly using BESM 2e though XD *runs from all the BESM haters*
08[22:58] <Tilus> but I've waaaanted to get into D&D 3e/3.5e but arrrrrrrrgh. =P
08[22:59] <Tilus> 3 prior attempts thus far and all have resulted in flailing failure. =P
[23:00] <Patchoulli> I'm not very good with it either
02[23:13] * Rachel (~devilmanr@64.193.100.97.cfl.res.rr.com) Quit
