<Tahn> lol
<Johnathan> And you thought
<Johnathan`> one of me was bad? ;)
<Bree> wah.. I'm semi here ^^;;
* Tahn gets IC and angsty and brooding.
<Scott> yeah.  Now we gotta deal with L-sama x 2.
*** Retrieving #Lunar-IoG info...
*** TheStoryteller sets mode: +m
<Tahn> Bad Scott! No IC Slayers refs!
<Johnathan`> Remind me to 
<Leon> Well,  you know
<Jack> IC - Irresistable Chimp?  =-P
<Leon> I would say I'd worse
<Johnathan> torment Scott for that. ;)
<TheStoryteller> SHUT UP PUKES! :o
<TheStoryteller> ~~ SESSION START! ~~
<Leon> But Rasis did get the Lord of Nightmares..and I got Xellos ;)

<Scott> <<and I got Gourry. :P>>
<Johnathan`> << Hush! ;) >>
<Bree> <ooc> argh, whats the WA RPG URL? I forgot it ^^;; </ooc>
*** Dekar_Zol is now known as Zelgadis_here
*** Zelgadis_here is now known as Dekar_Zol
<Johnathan> << http://www.gayorunstoolong.com >>
<TheStoryteller> << same as IoG, just use WARPG as dir >>
<Jack> <<No comment>>
<Johnathan`> << Or not. I forget. ;) >>
<Bree> <ooc> Thanks, I couldn't remember the dir ^^; WA or WARPG </ooc>
<Jack> <<Hello??  We're waiting for plot development here!>>
<TheStoryteller> We last left the heroes as they entered the Labirynth of Blue... the gateway to the Spire...
<Jack> <<Ah, there we go.>>
<TheStoryteller> The doorway to the Spire is in the shape of a dragon's head. It's eyes bear two jewels that shimmer in the morning light. A contrast to the darkened bowel within.
<Jack> <<Eww...Bowel...>>
<Johnathan> << We are passing the colon to your left.. >>
* Scott heads on into the spire, not even paying attention to the doorway.
<TheStoryteller> << er bowel +s.. ^^ >>
<Johnathan`> << Please keep arms and legs inside the train.. >>
*** Retrieving #Lunar-IoG info...
* Leon is in the rear of the party, as usual, hat pulled down over his face
<Jack> <<Crack crack crack the egg into the bowl....>>
* Haylee is back (%WAAAH%) (%away(17mins 15secs)) (pec)
*** TheStoryteller changes topic to '-= Chapter 40: Breaking Point | Blue Labirynth, 1F | 6817 $P =- Stats up at http://www.rpgcafe.net/IoG/stats'
<Haylee> «ooc: -_- What'd I miss? ^^ »
<Johnathan`> << It hasn't scrolled off the screen yet >>
<Scott> <<we're just stareting.>>
* TheStoryteller goes http://www.rpgcafe.net/IoG/Music/Dungeon1.rm to listen
<TheStoryteller> << going in.. passed the dragon eye jewel entrance. :) >>
<Scott> <<Wasn't the labirynth only 1 floor and a straight shot to the spire after you finished the puzzles?>>
<Jack> <<The "Bowels"...>_< >>
<TheStoryteller> << You got it. :) >>
<Haylee> «ooc: ^^ Wow. I didn't really miss anything. Are your bowels loose or something, Stor? ;) Is this a hidden message? :D »
<Jack> <<With David Bowie in the middle, I believe>>
<Scott> <<No, Jack...with the spire guardian right before the spire...>>
<Scott> <<Which makes me wonder if the Spire Guardian has respawned after 100 years.>>
<Haylee> Pretty...yet creepy at the same time...
<Jack> <<Ohh....I see...>>
<Johnathan> Pretty creepy indeed.
<TheStoryteller> You find yourself in a large room, the stone walls made of pale blue stone that seems to have been untouched for many centuries...
<Scott> Whoever the interior decorator was, they should be drug out in the street and shot.
<Haylee> «ooc: Agh! I forgot which John was which! >_< »
<Leon> ...
<Johnathan> << Yeah, me too. ;) >>
<Haylee> «ooc: ;) Fuck. »
<Johnathan`> << It doesn't matter, though. Either could be either. ;) >>
* Tahn shrugs, lost in thought.
<Haylee> Hey...I like blue though. Nothing is wrong with blue.
<Bree> <ooc> ugh.. I haven't been able to read anything that's happened ^^;; </ooc>
<Haylee> «ooc: We're just commenting on bowel movements :) »
<Leon> ...I'd rather be somewhere else.
<TheStoryteller> There is three ways to proceed, the torchlight showing the way. Right, left and straight ahead. However, there seems to be a closed door blocking the way further in.
<Jack> <<Blue, Blue, Paint the world blue....>>
<Johnathan`> Well.. it is the blue spire, hrm?
<Haylee> «ooc: LOL! :D »
<Haylee> «ooc: Happy happy..blue blue... »
<Scott> Hmmm.. 
<Haylee> Left?
* Scott heads left.
<Scott> good idea.
<Haylee> Thanks. ^^
<Tahn> What says we don't s...never mind, wierdoes.
* Haylee looks at Tahn.
<Haylee> . o O ( Yayyyy. -_- He's in his physcho mode, isn't he? )
<Tahn> I was GOING to say "why don't we split up? ^^;
* Leon follows everyone, his boots clicking along the polished blue floor
<Haylee> Too risky.
<TheStoryteller> [Ishtar] I wonder if the story abotu Hiro was true.. he must have wlaked these halls a century ago.
<Bree> I say the closed door... 
* Scott is still in his ultra focused mode.
<Johnathan`> Bree, Bree, Bree..
* Tahn shrugs "I go wherever Bree goes."
<Haylee> «ooc: You lemming ;) »
<Scott> how do we go through that door when it's closed.  
<Johnathan`> Ten to one it's not going to just have a lock and a knob
<TheStoryteller> Bree sees no handles or locks of any kind. It must require some switch to move.
* Johnathan` shrugs. "This place was built.. how long ago?"
<Haylee> Way past yesterday, John ^^
<Johnathan> And it's a place of magic, don't forget that. We can pretty much forget a simple latch.
*** Dekar_Zol is now known as Dekar|Away
<Leon> ..I'm sure I have a key
<Haylee> Really, Leon?
<Tahn> Try blasting it, Leon. See how long it takes. ^_^
<Johnathan> We could be here for a while if we go that route.
<Tahn> We'll meet back up with you after you're all old and wrinkly.
<TheStoryteller> Scott goes to the left a bit.. the floor winds around some pillars and holes on the sides, but it seems safe.
<Johnathan> Who knows how much punishment these things can stand?
<Bree> Well.. I can't open something like taht, even if I am the greatest theif... ^^;
<Scott> Hmmm.
<Leon> ..actually, I was just going to break it down
<Tahn> Touch me and you die.
* Scott walks on along the path, still in his ultra focused mods.
* Haylee sighs. ^^
* Leon mocks Tahn somewhat, brushing by as he heads to the lock
<Tahn> ^_- I could always toss you off the top of the spire, baka.
<Haylee> «ooc: YOu know that Leon's gonna pick Tahn up and use his head to knock the pillars down ;) »
<TheStoryteller> There is no lock. It's a smooth slab of polished masonry.
<Leon> ..you could try, boy.
<Haylee> This is dumb. I'm heading left. ^_-
<Haylee> And I'd appreciate someone...following me? :)
* Tahn lifts Leon up a half a foot magically ^_-
<Haylee> ...Hold up!
* Leon pulls out his guns and points at Tahn
<TheStoryteller> << Tahn could throw Leon actually.. winds and all.. ^^ >>
<Leon> ..would you like to make it to the top?
<Haylee> I got it...maybe there's a switch for both sides....so, if we split up evenly...maybe...
<Scott> <<[Tahn] DIEM WING!>>
<Haylee> That way we save time...
* Haylee shrugs.
* Tahn smiles. "At least you have your priorities in order. I could pick you up and drop you faster than you could shoot." ^_-
<TheStoryteller> << No splitting just yet. :) >>
<Haylee> «ooc: :O »
<Haylee> «ooc: Nooooo »
<Haylee> «ooc: Nuke all that then ;) »
<Leon> So you think you can chant your little magic faster than a bullet..how...humorous.
<TheStoryteller> [Ishtar] Let's stay together right now.. we need to find what opens this.. ^^
* Scott is now pretty far down the left path.
<Tahn> ^_^ no need to chant.
<Haylee> Would you two knock it off!
<Johnathan> Chant faster than a..
<Haylee> Goddess!
<Johnathan`> Bet it's possible
* Haylee follows Scott, annoyed :p
* Tahn puts Leon down.
<Scott> << [Tahn] dil brand!>>
<TheStoryteller> Scott comes to a corner, hearing the ruckus echo down the silent halls. ^^
<Johnathan`> All you'd have to do...
* Scott sighs as he turns the corner.
* Johnathan frowns, scratching his head. "Nevermind that, though."
* Leon puts his guns away, turning back to the slab, "So we want to go through here?"
<Scott> .oO(Will they EVER stop that incessant fighting.)
<Haylee> Wait up Scott!
* Haylee waves. ^^
<TheStoryteller> [Emili] There's obviously a switch, Leon! Let's go that way!
<Leon> ..or is there a more practical root
<Leon> «ooc: route »
<Haylee> Don't forget me, the perky happy HIGHLY unlucky songstress woman!
<TheStoryteller> Emili and Ishtar follow the majority of the group
* Scott stops for a sec for Haylee to catch up, but not waiting for the not so dynamic duo behind her.
<Jack> <<Johnathan: The Topsy-Turvy Pushme-Pullyou =-}>>
<Haylee> Thanks. ^^
<Johnathan`> Songstress woman? Feeling redundant today?
* Leon follows everyone, once again falling to last
<Scott> no problem.  
<Bree> <ooc> Gah.. I'm missing the game ^^;; </ooc>
* Haylee looks at John and smiles a bit too sweetly ^_^
<TheStoryteller> << It's ok Bree.. :) >>
<Jack> <<You and me both, bree.>>
<Bree> <ooc> I'm flirting, chatting, rping, and watching amovie.. not to mention I have a bud over ^^;;; </ooc>
<TheStoryteller> The turn spins the group around to the south, but ends in a platform over a large pit. In it's center is a small button, the surface almost glassy.
* Scott keeps a hand on his sword, just in case. It is ever more noticable that he is just ready to get this over with.
<Haylee> «ooc: Ooh :D »
* Johnathan` blinks
<Jack> <<I just haven't found a good way to come in ^_^;;>>
<Leon> Hmm
<Leon> Okay
<Haylee> Jack, push the shiny candy like button ^_-
<Haylee> «ooc: ^_^ That help ;) »
<Leon> Who wants to go over there and push the button?
<Bree> <ooc> Is everyone together? ^^;; </ooc>
<Haylee> I'll do it. :p
<Jack> <<Thanks...I think..^_^>>
<Leon> «ooc: Is the pit in the way? »
<Jack> Huh?  Wha?
<TheStoryteller> You can see the door a bit behind you to the north, and some other platforms in the distance.
<Scott> go right on ahead, Haylee.
* Haylee runs to the button and pushes it!
<TheStoryteller> << Nope. Just cutting off forward progress ^^ >>
<Jack> <<History erases.  Session end!>>
<Leon> «ooc: Okay:) »
<Haylee> ....If the floor falls from under me... I will so kill you all ^_^
<TheStoryteller> There's a dull click, and the object emits a turqoise light. There's a rumbling somewhere.
<Jack> I did nothing!!
<Tahn> «ooc: @&%^*#$!@^(*&%@^(!$(%T^!#^(TD^ »
<Scott> Eh?
<Haylee> «ooc: LOL. The floor falls. Like in a cartoon, she stays in hte air for 2 seconds. "I will kill you all ^_^." *Wweeeee BOOM!* »
<Scott> let's go check the door.
<Leon> I imagine that opened the door
<Haylee> I think it worked. Let's go. :)
* Leon heads back to the door
* Scott goes back the way he came, to get back to the door.
* Jack follows everyone else.
<TheStoryteller> Retracing your steps, you find the door has indeed opened..
<Scott> ok...what say we go on through.
<Leon> Good...Tahn is much to..useful..to use here...
<TheStoryteller> However, you have a nice view of some slime dripping off the walls. o_o
<Jack> Sure!  *Walks through the door*
<Haylee> Slime?
<Scott> Eh?  
* Tahn grumbles. :P
<Haylee> ...How much you want to bet we'll be attacked by something in 2 seconds? ^_^
* Jack looks at the slime.."Waah!" *Jumps back*
<Tahn> So?
<Johnathan`> One.. two.. nope!
<TheStoryteller> It goes plop onto the floor, forming into 5 monstrous globs that rear and slide over.
<Haylee> Damn! I was wrong! It was 3 seconds ;)
* Tahn unfurls his whip
<Johnathan> Close enough, though. Little idiot things.
<TheStoryteller> >> COMBAT! <<
* Haylee pulls out her bow and sighs. ^^;
* Jack takes out his axe
<Johnathan`> Someone needs to have a definate talk with the janitors here.
* Leon walks to the front of the battleground, looking as he normally does, hat pulled over his eyes, wind blowing his long hair
<Bree> <ooc> Yay, I'm partially here and it's combat already ^^; </ooc>
<Haylee> «ooc: ^_^ You know what I like about summer? I don't have to do HW after the game ^_^ »
* Scott goes into his battou stance. "I'll deal with one of them myself. I've wanted to use this skill for a long time."
<TheStoryteller> >> Enemy Front: Slime A-C, Enemy Back: Slime D, E
* TheStoryteller goes http://www.rpgcafe.net/IoG/Music/Battle.rm to listen
<TheStoryteller> << rows? :) >>
<Scott> <<Front row, of course.>>
<Haylee> «ooc: back as always ;) »
* Jack takes the front
<Johnathan> << Back >>
<Tahn> «ooc: Back. »
<Bree> <ooc> as always, front </ooc>
<Johnathan`> << Also back >>
* Johnathan` sighs. "It's never easy, is it?"
<Leon> «ooc: Front »
<Scott> <<you know with over 6800S, we should have at least one more shop before too long...at least for restorative items...starlights, silverlights, and such.>>
<TheStoryteller> << You'll have a chance. :) >>
<TheStoryteller> >> Bree's turn.
<Bree> <ooc> Dang.. this is the one time I dont like being first ^^; Um.. ^^;; </ooc>
<TheStoryteller> [Ishtar] Well, so much for peaceful..
<TheStoryteller> << delay? >>
* Bree unsheaths her saber, rushing into the blobs of goo (Fury Punch)
<Scott> Ishtar, I've been wanting to try this technique out, so one of these slimes is about to meet it's maker.
<Haylee> «ooc: BRB. MD. ;) Besides, I go almost dead last anyway ;) »
<TheStoryteller> >> Bree uses Fury Punch!
* Scott stays in his stance, watching his opponent. "I guess Master Katamari's training has paid off."
* Tahn hangs back. "Feh. Normal everyday monsters. You guys are quite capable...I'll stay out of the way until you guys get your asses kicked."
<Leon> Typical acts of a coward.
<TheStoryteller> >> 1: crit! 410! 2: Crit! 450! 3: Crit! 396! 4: 173! 5: Crit! 402! 6: Crit! 414! Slime A falls!
<Scott> Well, just sit back and watch the master swordsman at work, Igtenos.
<Tahn> Coward my ass. I could just give a flying fuck what goes on right now.
<TheStoryteller> >> defaulting to B.. 7: Crit! 398!
<TheStoryteller> >> Tahn's turn.
* Leon nods, "Coward."
<Johnathan> You mean you couldn't.
<Johnathan> If you're going to be trite and apathetic, at least be gramatically..
* Johnathan` hits himself
<Johnathan> Ow! Hey..
<TheStoryteller> >> Tahn chooses to DEFEND.
* Haylee tries not to laugh. ^^;
<Tahn> Look who's talking. At least I'm in one piece.
<TheStoryteller> >> Scott's turn.
* Scott charges at slime-b with his blade in its sheath. Going beyond godlike speed, he leads in with his left leg and draws his blade, executing the Hiten Mitsurugi Ryuu SUCCESSION TECHNIQUE, Ama Kakeru Ryu no Hirameki, slicing right through slime-b like a hot knife through butter.
* Haylee gives Tahn the look of death.
<Leon> I could fix that.
<Johnathan`> Nice comeback, Tahn
<Johnathan> Real smooth.
<Tahn> Coming from the man who was enough of a coward to actually leave the fucking battlefield in mid battle.
<Scott> now that, my friends, is gonna leave a mark. ^_^x
<TheStoryteller> >> Slime B takes 1348 damage! It's rended into quivering bits!
* Johnathan` grins. "You couldn't fuck yourself up this bad if you tried, my friend."
<Johnathan> ...that's a good point?
<Haylee> ^^; Can we ALL STOP NOW?
<Johnathan`> Hush, it sounded good.
<TheStoryteller> >> Jack's turn.
<Scott> can we all just concentrate on the slimes and forget fighting each other?
<Haylee> «ooc: LOL! Haylee tries to keep the peace :D »
<Leon> ..heh...and where were you because your love interest ended up being gay...
* Bree stomps Tahn's foot "<q> Please... just dont aggrivate him.."
<TheStoryteller> [Ishtar] Scott's right.. this is obviously no time to fight with each other.. what if there's more than this? :/
<Scott> <<That's enough Mp use for this obvious peon battle...>>
<Haylee> «ooc: Peon: Master! The Kitty! »
<Tahn> If there's more, I'll fight.
<Leon> ..don't do me any favors..not like you're actually needed
<Johnathan> There HAS to be more, or people would have turned this place into a tourist resort by now.
<Johnathan`> That's not a bad idea, you know.
<Scott> no joke, Johnathan.  I think our answers may just lie in the spire ahead.
<Johnathan`> You could make one heck of a waterslide from the top of the spire to the bottom, don't you think?
<Haylee> Wow...you could. ^_-
<Scott> Oh hell..now they go and start talking about turning the blue spire into Busch Gardens....perfect.
<Johnathan`> I mean.. think about it! That'd be a heck of a rush..
* Jack dosn't slaik as he runs in with axe slicing!
<Haylee> But I wouldn't recommend it, John ^_- Imagine hte head rush of sliding from the Blue Star to here.
<Haylee> Your head probably would pop like a balloon ^_^
<Tahn> «ooc: What does it mean to slaik. »
<Tahn> «ooc: ? »
<Johnathan`> << I think he meant slack >>
<TheStoryteller> >> Jack attacks Slime C! 1: Crit! 590! 2: 267! 3: Crit! 568! 4: 274!
<Jack> <<It's slang for "Slacking off">>
<Scott> or maybe the explosive decompression from trying to slide through space.  I am attuned to the stars, Haylee..Space is nothing but a void.  No air to breathe.  You'd just implode upon yourself.
<TheStoryteller> >> Haylee's turn.
<Johnathan> Explode, you mean.
<Tahn> Implode.
<Johnathan> No, it'd be an explosion
<Tahn> You need air to explode.
<Scott> and there is no air in space.
* Johnathan gives Tahn an odd look
* Haylee concentrates, clearing away all negative icky kharma, and her wisdom (hopefully) increases :D
<TheStoryteller> << wow, drama is always around in IoG. ^^ >>
<Bree> <ooc> How do people of Lunar know anything about space? ^^;; </ooc>
<Leon> «ooc: They don't :P »
<TheStoryteller> >> Haylee gets a nice boost! Wisdom is maxed at 1100!
<Bree> <ooc> It's not like they have many flying ships period.. ^^;; </ooc>
<Leon> «ooc: Exactly Bree ;) »
<TheStoryteller> >> Leon's turn.
* Johnathan is totally ignoring the battle at this point. "No, no.. you're thinking of a fire. An explosion can happen in someplace without access to air."
<Johnathan> Think of...
<Haylee> «ooc: *Crashing sound as the 4th wall is breeched. :) »
<Scott> <<Bree: Scott is attuned to the stars, as a result of the star magic.>>
<Tahn> Whatever. ^_^
* Leon just opens fire on the slimes
<Tahn> Let's just get figting. ^_-
<Johnathan> Ok, imagine a.. no.. how can I put this..
<Leon> «ooc: Star Magic doesn't make you an expert on the cosmose »
<Leon> «ooc: -e »
* Johnathan makes a vague gesture with his hands.
<Leon> «ooc: Truth is no one on Lunar knows anything about Outer Space ;) »
<Haylee> «ooc: It just makes you able to play a star expert on TV! :D »
<Johnathan> Ok, it's like if you go deep into the sea. There's more pressure, right?
<Haylee> ^^; Uh huh...
<Haylee> Um...Battle please? ^^
<Johnathan> If there was enough sea, you'd get squashed.
<Leon> ...save the school boy bullshit for later.
<Johnathan> Theoreticall-.. battle?
<Johnathan> Oh! Yeah.
<Tahn> Yeah.
* Johnathan` rolls his eyes.
<Tahn> Smooth move, Bill Nye. ;P
*** Stromey (stromewynd@ps134sux.willinet.net) has joined #Lunar-IoG
<Tahn> «ooc: Fourth Wall breach #2! »
<Johnathan> I still say you'd get squashed.
<TheStoryteller> >> Leon goes for the bread and butter.. Magnum is normal element. 1: 289! 2: 310! 3: Crit! 606! 4: 273! 5: crit! 558! Slime C is vanquished.
<Leon> Hmph
* Scott goes to a different stance as he eyes Slime D.
<Johnathan`> Look, take the good people's advice and shut up, huh?
<Scott> look, we can discuss this after we've left this goddess damn spire.  Just fight and let's get this over with.
<Leon> ...this is group has so little focus..
<Tahn> I'm focused.
<Tahn> Just not on this battle.
<Leon> No, you're not.
<TheStoryteller> >> Slime D comes under fire! 6: 303! 7: 290! 8: crit! 586! 9: crit! 610! 10: 286! 11: 299!
<Leon> «ooc: Oh, I forgot I had 11 attacks ;) »
<Tahn> There are only two things I really pay attention to.
<Johnathan`> I can't even vaguely pretend to be, while idiot boy there is rambling.
<TheStoryteller> Slime D is barely holding together...
<Tahn> Bree and myself. ^_-
<Johnathan> Shut up.
<Leon> ...and you are a fool, boy.
<Scott> <needless to say, there's only one slime left....and John's about to open up a serious can of whoop ass on it.
<Scott> >>
* Bree sweatdrops "Just pay attention to the fight ^^;"
<Leon> «ooc: Kill it quickly? ;) »
<Haylee> «ooc: Slime D; I cannae take it anymore captin! It's all commin' apart....and we're out of expresso! »
<TheStoryteller> It sloshes over to Leon, and fountains all over him.. :O
<Tahn> Heh. Ever look in a mirror, mister tall, dark, and annoying?
<Leon> Hmph..
<TheStoryteller> >> Slime D attacks Leon!
<Haylee> «ooc: Fountains? O_o HENTAI THOUGHT! >_< »
<Scott> <<OBSCENE!>>
<Jack> <<Slime Approaches.  Command?>>
* Leon just stands there
<TheStoryteller> >> 1: 130! 2: 92! 3: Missed!
<Haylee> «ooc: Leon: I like this. :D »
* Leon snickers, "I am not scared of simple slimes, like other members of this group."
* Haylee chooses to ignore Leon. ;)
<Johnathan> Well, you have half of me beat. He's taking this way too seriously
<Scott> I'm not scared of them either....just don't want to see my dry cleaning bill after this is all finished.
<Leon> «ooc: I'm talking about Tahn, haylee ;) »
<Johnathan`> Look, what part of 'shut up' is so hard for you?
<TheStoryteller> >> Slime E drenches Scott in an acidic bath! :o
<Leon> ..both of you shut up...the arguing with yourself is getting very old.
* Tahn just smiles. "Shut up? Okay."
<TheStoryteller> >> 121 damage.
<Scott> Oh shit...there goes my life's savings right to the cleaners.  I doubt any of this is going to come out easily.
<Johnathan> Hrmph.
<TheStoryteller> >> Johnathan's turn.
<Tahn> I'm not the one doing the work, I don't have a place to argue, now do I? ^_-
<Johnathan> Leon, if you had to listen to yourself, you'd do the same thing. It's..
<Jack> <<Monty Python's Fling Circus!!>>
<Haylee> Scott, travelling in ANYTHING that has to be dry cleaned is just plain dumb, no offense.
<Leon> John, shut up.
<Jack> <<Flying even!>>
<Scott> <<if I do remember correctly, the slimes in the Blue Spire were weak to wind magic.>>
<Tahn> «ooc: <Johnathan> o/~ Oh, I'm a lumberjack and I'm okay, I work all night and I sleep all day o/~ »
<Scott> Haylee, I was making a joke anyway.  
* Johnathan` almost casually forms two little balls of energy, tossing one at the weakened slime and the other at his other self.
<Haylee> ^_^ Just saying :)
<Jack> <<Heehee!!>>
<Tahn> «ooc: so? ;) Tahn wants to get out of this without doing any work. »
<Haylee> «ooc: LOL! John! Stop hitting yourself! ;) »
<Tahn> John, stop hitting yourself. ^_-
<Haylee> I was thinking same thing, actually...
<Leon> Tahn giving battle tips, there's a switch
<TheStoryteller> >> Johnathan Mystic Vigors!
<Leon> Maybe he'll do something else out of his league and start quoting Shakespeare
* Johnathan blinks.
<Haylee> «ooc: Ow. Ow. I should NOT have taken off that bandaid. OW. »
<Scott> or maybe the Moody Blues.
<Tahn> Been there, done that, Leon.
<Haylee> «ooc: brb. ow. »
<Tahn> Scott...who?
<Leon> ..cowards have no place on the field of battle.
<Johnathan> << Fourth wall? More like fourth sieve. ;) >>
<Scott> musicians I read about in the library of Vane.  Apparently from a LONG time before humanity came to Lunar.
<TheStoryteller> >> Distort is cast.. Slime D is enveloped in an energy cage! 29 damage! ^^
* Tahn smiles. "I'm not battling... I'm not even on the field, technically. I'm just letting the stupid and the heroic do all the work for me." ^_-
<TheStoryteller> >> Distort is cast on Johnathan`.. a huge black cloud chokes his battered half-visible form! o_o
<TheStoryteller> >> 50 damage! John` is KO'd!
* Johnathan collapses.
<Leon> ..you are no better than the scum of villiany...
* Johnathan` shrugs. "He was annoying me. Still, that was rather unimpressive..."
<Johnathan`> << Er.. no. John` was casting it. ;) >>
<TheStoryteller> << er right. ^^ >>
<Haylee> John!
* Tahn smiles. "Never claimed to be."
*** Stromey is now known as ^^Stromewynd^^
<Haylee> Why did you do taht?! O_o
<Haylee> «ooc: That »
<Tahn> Also... I think John's developped some new mental problems.
<Johnathan`> It seemed appropriate.
<TheStoryteller> >> Johnathan is Ko'd.
<Leon> ..no one cares about the thoughts of a coward.
* Bree sweatdrops "That's something you dont see every day ^^;"
<Scott> << [Haylee] you mean old puddy tat!>>
* Tahn whispers something in John's ear.
<TheStoryteller> [Ishtar] Why did you do that? This is no time for this.. Revive!
<TheStoryteller> >> Ishtar casts Revive Litany.. Johnathan` revives with 40 HP!
<TheStoryteller> >> Combat Round 2!
<TheStoryteller> >> Enemy Single: Slime D, E
<Bree> <ooc> They're still standing? ^^; </ooc>
<Johnathan> Ugh... thanks.
<Johnathan> That... was not funny.
* Johnathan glares at himself.
* Johnathan` shrugs again
<Haylee> ^^;
* Scott stands there, leaning on a wall. "I think I'll let Bree handle this."
* Haylee steps away from both Johns.
<TheStoryteller> >> Bree's turn.
<Tahn> And I thought I was the neurotic one here.
<Scott> go get 'em, Bree
* Leon looks down at the twin wizards, "Stop it. Keep your focus on the fight at hand."
<Leon> ..or I'll rip off all 4 of your arms.
* Tahn smiles.
<Johnathan`> Go ahead, Leon.
* Bree smiles, and dashes at the slime once again, deciding they're not worth much effort "Gotcha!"
<Scott> not like it's going to last very long with Bree about to open up a can of whoop ass here, Leon...
<Bree> <ooc> same action </ooc>
<TheStoryteller> << fury punch? :) >>
<Tahn> We're just one big happy nuthouse. ^_^
<Leon> ...that isn't the point, Scott.
<Johnathan`> It's not like we're even technically humans. No more of a crime then ripping a limb off a dog or something.
<Leon> ...the point is that this group has no idea how to function as one
<Tahn> You just now noticed, Leon?
<Leon> ..no, fool.
<Haylee> Hey...
<Tahn> Congratulations! You get a shiny gold star! ^_-
<Haylee> :/ You're not a dog to me...
<TheStoryteller> >> Bree uses Fury Punch! She makes a CRITICAL strike! Slime D is instantly slain!
<Haylee> «ooc: Tahn IS Muttonhead :D »
<Tahn> «ooc: lol »
<Johnathan> All right, you two are worse than me and me. That's about enough of that.. and that goes for me too.
<Scott> actually, Tahn.  I think a silver star is more along Leon's style....such as you'd see Marshall Dillon wearing in "Gunsmoke".
<Leon> ...you are all to preoccupied with each other to even think about anything else..
<Tahn> ...Scott, please. -_-;
<Leon> ..how can you people stop Virtue..
* Tahn laughs. "If it bugs you so much, Leon... We're not keeping you here."
<Johnathan`> Hrmph.
<Tahn> Leave if you want.
<Johnathan`> We're all irrelevant
<TheStoryteller> >> Defaulting to E.. 2: crit! 424! 3: crit! 430! 4: 223! 5: crit! 470! 6: crit! 466! 7: crit! 454! Slime E is wasted!
<Tahn> Then you'll be just as much of a coward as I am ^_^
<TheStoryteller> >> Victory!
* Leon twirls his pistols
<Haylee> «ooc: ^^ Scott, no offene, but you need to stop making these 4th wall comments ;P »
<Leon> I will never be as big of a  coward as you are.
<Johnathan`> It honestly doesn't matter in the least if one of us is crippled or something. Or unhappy. Or neurotic.
<Tahn> «ooc: I agree. »
<Scott> why worry about it.  This is obviously a peon battle.....so there's no real reason to focus as hard on it as we would against Virtue or Zlyk.
<Scott> <<Too much Nick at Nite...sorry.>>
<Johnathan`> We just need to do what we need to do.
* Haylee grumbles and walks ahead. :p
<TheStoryteller> >> The party gains 142 xp and 840 $p.
<Haylee> C'mon. Let's go.
*** Retrieving #Lunar-IoG info...
* Tahn advances ahead, not caring who follows him. ^_-
* Scott follows Haylee.
* Haylee is actually ahead of Tahn!.....But it doesn't matter that much except she'll die first! Whoo!
* Leon pulls his guns into his cloak, "Until you all learn to operate as one, instead of several, you will never survive."
*** TheStoryteller changes topic to '-= Chapter 40: Breaking Point | Blue Labirynth, 1F | 7657 $P =- +142'
* Johnathan laughs. "I'd love to, Leon. I really would."
<TheStoryteller> [Ishtar] Is everyone alright?
<Scott> just fine, Ishtar.
* Johnathan` follows some distance behind Tahn and Haylee, arms crossed.
<Leon> The "master" mage is having fights with himself, wasting his mana on..himself
<Scott> but I just hope the spire guardian hasn't revived in the 100 years since he was defeated by Hiro.
<Leon> The self proclaimed "assassin" has no balls.
<Johnathan> I never claimed to be a master of anything.
<Tahn> You mean you, Leon?
<Johnathan> John was never anything more than a heretic, Leon.
<Leon> The swordman babbles about things that no one understands.
<Tahn> I never claimed to be an assassin. Not since the first time I met you wierdoes.
<Leon> Yes you did, boy.
<Leon> In the Black Dragon Cave
<Leon> Don't you lie to me.
<TheStoryteller> Tahn walks on ahead, meeting no more resistance... however he finds a dead end with nowehere to go. Just a hundred feet or so in the distance is the stairs up, however.
<Scott> can we please just cut the chatter for a minute?
* Haylee grumbles more....starting to get more and more ticked off.
<TheStoryteller> << gah.. too many howevers >>
* Tahn goes up the stairs, hoping to get away from the wierdoes.
<TheStoryteller> << ^^ >>
<Haylee> «ooc: However, there were too many howevers, and ST's brain exploded :o »
* Bree catches up with Tahn, walking along side him, looking a bit concerned
<TheStoryteller> Tahn can't reach the stairs.. there's 80 feet or so of nice happy blackness in the way. :D
<Tahn> ...
<Haylee> Tahn...
<Tahn> Anyone got a light spell?
<Leon> You're all so preoccupied with each other, you've lost focus on the overall goal...
<Scott> Hmmm...maybe.
* Tahn smiles. "Thanks, Leon!"
* Haylee winks at him. "Don't you have some sort of spell that'll make us float to those stairs?
<TheStoryteller> To your right is the platform you saw before, across the pit. Maybe if you went right...
<Leon> I have a spell that'll float you all to the stairs.
* Scott creates a small star in his hand. "You mean like this?"
<Tahn> Naw.
<Tahn> It is the pit.
<Tahn> I wasn't paying attention.
<Leon> Of course, I might overthrow some of you..
* Tahn smiles.
<Haylee> «ooc: Scott: Twinkle Twinkle little HAPPY FLAMES OF DEATH! :D »
<Tahn> Shall I get us across?
<Scott> <<LOL!>>
<Scott> why not, Tahn...wind seems to be your specialty.
<Haylee> «ooc: I see Scott has played Popful mail :) »
<Haylee> if you can. :)
<Scott> <<Yeah.>>
<TheStoryteller> << Happy Flames of Death! :D >>
* Tahn extends his hands and prepares a spell....
<Tahn> Wings of Bahamut, Focus your strength and deliver us to the holy land! Aether Wing!
* Tahn casts Aether Wing, and the party is lifted up by an unseen wind!
<Haylee> «ooc: God, In CTRPG2, somewhere, I will have the Happy Flames of Death. »
<TheStoryteller> You all elvitate above the stone floor, walking on air.
<Haylee> This is wild Tahn! ^_^
<Scott> Oh cool.
* Haylee bounces/walks along ^_^
<Johnathan> Cute trick..
* Scott starts toward the stairs.
<Haylee> But if I fall and go splat I'll come back from hell to kill you. ^_^ Because I'm in a bitchy mood. No offense to you or anything :)
<Leon> ..Haylee, you're really in touch with your feelings.
<TheStoryteller> Ishtar flies after you, across the pit.. Emili unfurls her wings, doign that whole topless thing in the process. ^^
<Scott> Nah...Haylee, Heaven don't want us and Hell's afraid we'll take over...so don't worry about dying.
* Tahn smiles. "No problem."
* Tahn passes the pit.
<Johnathan> Dying? Heh. I intend to be immortal, dangit all.
<Haylee> I've always been rather blunt, Leon. I'm just letting you all know since we're all SO in touch with our feelings how ANNOYING that can be.
* Johnathan smiles slightly.
<TheStoryteller> Everything seems to go well as you float across, but a howling gust starts blowing from below you.
<Leon> ..I keep my feelings to myself.
<Haylee> Uh huh. ^^
* Haylee gets across ^_^
<Haylee> «ooc: NUKE IT :P »
* Scott beats feet across the pit.
<Leon> It's foolish if I didn't
<Haylee> Huh....?
<Haylee> Aah! Tahn! O_o
<Tahn> ...Go back...
<TheStoryteller> You start to get jarred off course before you reach the edge... before you know it, you land on a wide ledge on it's right instead.
<Haylee> But I'm almost across! :(
<Haylee> Ow!
<Scott> Hmmm...
* Tahn sighs.
<Tahn> Maybe if I jump. >;P
<Johnathan`> Ha! The spire's not going to let you do that, Tahn. Nice try, though.
<Leon> Boy , that worked.
<Tahn> Not like anyone'd care if I die.
<Haylee> «ooc: Actually, isn't that where we were supposed to go next anyway. »
<Haylee> I'd care.
<Leon> ..I wouldn't.
<Johnathan`> Me neither.
<Scott> I would.
<Johnathan> Yes I would.
<Tahn> It'd pass.
* Johnathan` shrugs. "Eh."
<Leon> Cowards are a dime a dozen
<Tahn> I'm just another nobody.
<Haylee> «ooc: brb ^_^ »
<Tahn> And I could bring Leon down with me if I wanted to die. ^_^ Assholes are a dime a dozen, too.
<TheStoryteller> The gap to the stairs is too far to jump. However, the Right platform is really closeby!
<Leon> The difference is I'm not afraid to die
* Tahn blinks and looks at the platform. "I think the architects are trying to tell us something."
<Scott> the difference is we're not GOING to die yet, so quit talking about it.
<TheStoryteller> You can see it has a similar switch as the other one on it.
<Johnathan`> That they were on crack?
<Tahn> True.
* Scott heads to the right platform.
<Tahn> Any of the idiots here want to try getting that switch?
<Scott> I got it.
<Tahn> ...Okay, you can go if you want, too, Scott. ;P
<Johnathan`> I could say something now..
<TheStoryteller> Scott leaps across the gap. He makes it with room to spare.
* Haylee sighs... -_-
* Scott goes over to the switch and pushes it.
<Tahn> Don't worry, Hay. I feel the same way.
<Tahn> I don't know why I don't run off again.
<Haylee> Thanks... -_-
<Haylee> O
<Haylee> «ooc: er »
<TheStoryteller> Scott pushes the switch, as it also glows a pastel blue. You hear another rumbling, and the platform with everyone on it slides to the side, joining with Scott's.
<Haylee> I'm thinking of doing the same thing, actually...
<Johnathan`> Tahn.. and Haylee? Odd that Leon would be right.
<Leon> ...
* Tahn shrugs.
* Johnathan` wears a look that can't really be viewed as anything but mild contempt
<Haylee> «ooc: Huh? ^^ Did I miss something? »
<Leon> ..I'm normally right...
<Leon> ..you are all just too foolish to see that
*** Dekar|Away (someone@nas-20-58.la.navipath.net) has left #Lunar-IoG
<Leon> ....until it bites you in the ass
*** Dekar|Away (someone@nas-20-58.la.navipath.net) has joined #Lunar-IoG
* Haylee blinks at Johnathan` O_o
<Tahn> Eh, whatever.
<Haylee> Not that kind of running away!
<TheStoryteller> You see a door down the thin hallway here, possibly leading back to the junction.
<Johnathan`> Oh?
* Tahn shrugs. "It was pure chance that got me back into your little group anyways."
<Haylee> ^^ The 'I'm really fustrated at everyone fighting so I'm going to go get a five minute alone time breather running away."
<TheStoryteller> [Ishtar] How come I this odd feeling we are breaking up again.. :/
<Scott> Hmm...if we are going to split, might I make a suggestion?
*** ^^Stromewynd^^ has quit IRC (Quit: Leaving)
<TheStoryteller> The winds from below gust, sending an echoing howl through the area.
<Johnathan`> Deal, Haylee. We don't have time or the room to care if we get along in the least. For whatever reason, we have a job to do. And we have to do it. Everything else is irrelevant.
<Haylee> ...Including me?
<Johnathan`> Including you, including me, including everyone, and everything, else.
<Haylee> ....
<Haylee> «ooc: Ouch. ;) »
<Leon> You are wrong, Johnathan
<TheStoryteller> [Emili] Can we just go! I'm getting hungry and frustrated..
<Johnathan> ..is he?
* Johnathan looks a little uncertain.
<Leon> Yes, very wrong.
<Scott> can we just get going again?
* Haylee turns away from John and doesn't say anything.
* Tahn is nowhere to be found again ^_^ Looks like he's gone ahead already.
<Johnathan`> How so, Leon?
<TheStoryteller> [Adam] I agree with Scott.
* Johnathan` starts walking
* Scott heads on down the path ahead.
<Leon> People matter..otherwise the job we're doing is useless..we're all doing this for other people.
* Johnathan follows along
* Haylee tags behind a bit..
<Johnathan`> But beyond that, they don't. Humanity as a whole we're doing this for.. not for any one.. or two, or three, or a thousand individuals.
* Haylee then sighs and runs ahead quickly, looking very upset, in the direction Tahn supposedly went.
<Leon> Then why are you here
<Johnathan`> Because I have no choice.
<Leon> A lie.
<Leon> Everyone has a choice.
<Johnathan`> I suppose I could always obliterate myself, sure.
<TheStoryteller> the wall twists around some pillars and cracked floor.. but leads to a sealed door. There is a path around to the right of it. Tahn and Haylee seem to have run off that direction...
<Leon> That is a betrayal of yourself.
<Johnathan`> Then perhaps because this is the least objectionable alternative.
<Scott> someone tell me why I don't just run on ahead at full speed?
* Scott goes off to the right.
<Haylee> «ooc: Because I want my damn alone time! »
<TheStoryteller> [Ishtar] WE're here to save you john, please don't give up on yourself.
<Haylee> «ooc: ;) »
<Johnathan> ...we couldn't evade Virtue for long.. so here we are.
<Johnathan> Here all of us are, for our reasons.
<Leon> ..I'm not here for something as selfish as myself.
*** Jack has quit IRC (Quit: So sorry everyone....I've got to get up early tomorrow.....G'night!)
<TheStoryteller> [Elrika] I feel like the group is withering like a flower in winter.. please stop. :/
* Scott goes into a full run at godlike speed go get away from this conversaton.
<Johnathan`> You really think I care about myself at this point, Leon? I don't even have a self right now.
<Leon> You will.
<TheStoryteller> ~~ Meanwhile, farther down the passage ~~ ^^
<Haylee> «ooc: Sex sex naughty sex...oh wait. »
<Leon> and it won't be a moment too soon..
<TheStoryteller> Haylee bumps into Tahn.
* Haylee runs ahead, and...yeah, bumps into Tahn! O-o
<Tahn> Hmm? ^^;
* Tahn looks behind him.
<Tahn> Haylee...?
* Haylee looks at Tahn for a moment, her lower lip quivers, and she suddenly bursts into tears!
<TheStoryteller> It's a room also extending into the pit partially, with yet another switch and a small chest.. though it's been open for decades.
<Tahn> What's wrong? You're...crying... ^^;
<Haylee> John is such a bastard! ;_;
<Tahn> ...
* Tahn taps the switch while he has the time between explanations "Why?"
<Haylee> He said that he doesn't care about me anymore... :/
<Haylee> That he doesn't care what happens to me....
<Haylee> Or any of us....
<Haylee> Both of them!
<TheStoryteller> Another rumble occurs, but it's drowned out by Haylee's sobs.
<Tahn> ...
<Haylee> «ooc: Damn she cries loud then! »
<Tahn> John's got problems of his own, Haylee. I'm sure when John's... John again, he'll be the way you knew him.
<Haylee> ...I don't know....I don't know... ;_;
<Haylee> Anyway, I'm sorry... *sniff* I bumped into you...
* Tahn hugs Haylee. "It's alright... just... don't let it get to you. Love hurts...sometimes the one you love wasn't the one who you were meant to be with..."
* Tahn sighs.
<TheStoryteller> You hear footsteps, and running.. a breeze soon blows as Scott dashes almost right into you.
<Tahn> And it's no problem, by the way.
* Tahn blinks.
* Haylee also blinks. O_o
<Tahn> Hi, Scott. Come to get away from the wierdoes, too?
* Scott winds up bumping into, not Haylee or Tahn, but the wall. "I really should watch where I am going."
<TheStoryteller> The rest of the party isn't far behind. :)
* Haylee gives Tahn a quivering eye look. ^^;
<Tahn> ...
<Scott> got tired of the conversation, as a matter of fact.
<TheStoryteller> << you all can go.. ^^ >>
<Leon> ...
* Tahn pats Haylee on the head, not really caring what Bree thinks at the moment, but knowing it's gonna come back to haunt him later.
<Tahn> It's okay, Haylee.
<TheStoryteller> [Ishtar] Are you two ok? You ran off..
<Bree> <ooc> Bree has no idea what's going on ^^; </ooc>
<Haylee> Thanks Tahn...
<TheStoryteller> << Bree is there :o >>
* Scott brushes himself off, standing a little wobbly, then pats Haylee on the shoulder. "We'll see to that, Hay."
<Leon> Haylee will be fine..she's strong.
<Tahn> Oh, and...Leon, Johnathan, Johnathan number two? ^_^ Mind getting the hell out of here until you can learn to not be assholes? ^_^
<Haylee> I'll be okay. Let's keep going...
<Johnathan`> Tahn, DO shut up.
<Bree> <ooc> I figured I was there, but what's happening/ed around me I dont know ^^;; </ooc>
<Leon> shut up, boy, or I'll turn these walls purple with your head
<Tahn> At least I don't attack my own teammates.
<Johnathan`> And I'll help him.
<Scott> here we go again.
<TheStoryteller> Something odd occurs. The walls do turn purple.
<Tahn> I'd rather be a coward than a psycho.
<Haylee> «ooc: LOL! »
<Tahn> ... I see.
<Haylee> The walls...!
<Leon> ...well something is reading my mind
<Tahn> Haylee... if you'd please step back?
<TheStoryteller> In fact, three purple masses come out of them... hulking mutanted brains.. :o
<Haylee> Um. Too late.
<TheStoryteller> << er mutated >>
<Tahn> ...Fight? Oh well.
<Haylee> «ooc: Braaain pickers :D »
<Johnathan> All right! All right! That absolutely DOES it. When the walls go metaphorical-literal on us...
<Leon> ..is this all
<Johnathan`> Stupid?
<TheStoryteller> [Brainpicker] Rfghhhrrgsf..
<Johnathan`> Pointless?
<TheStoryteller> >> COMBAT! <<
<Tahn> John, do kindly fuck off. When you hurt a friend of mine like you did... Well, just fuck off, okay? ^_^
* Johnathan looks at the brain thing. "Try that again, with vowels this time, hrm?"
<Haylee> Did he just say, "Your ass is too big?! O-o"
* Tahn unfurls his whip.
<Scott> Oh for crying out loud...I guess we do need to blow off some steam...
<TheStoryteller> >> Enemy Single: Brainpicker A-C
<Johnathan`> The day I start taking advice from you, Tahn, is the day I borrow Scott's sword to run myself through with.
* Tahn smiles. "No problem, Scott. I guess I will fight, this time. It looks like me, you, and Haylee are the only stable ones here."
<Scott> I guess so.
<Tahn> Oh, and Scott...mind lending John your sword? ^_-
<TheStoryteller> >> Bree's turn.
<Haylee> «ooc: Ishtar's actually pretty stable. :p »
<Scott> Not right now, tahn.  I kinda need it.
<Tahn> «ooc: Ishtar? Whozat? ;O »
<TheStoryteller> [Ishtar] *frowns*
<Tahn> Oh...sorry about that, Ishie. You and Bree, too. ^^;
<Bree> <ooc> Gah.. fight again ^^;; </ooc>
<Bree> <ooc> Sorry about what? </ooc>
<Tahn> «ooc: Not listing you two in the "stable" category. »
<TheStoryteller> << No worries Bree... this one is a bit tougher though. ;) >>
* TheStoryteller goes http://www.rpgcafe.net/IoG/Music/Battle.rm to listen
* Bree tries out a Fury Punch on Brainpicker A
<Scott> <<Oh for heaven's sake...I just hope I don't need to use lightspeed here....>>
<Johnathan`> << For heaven's steak, you mean? ;) >>
<Leon> ..this should be another cakewalk
<Haylee> «ooc: EVIL »
<Scott> <<32 Mp for a succession technique takes a big chunk out of my Mp reserve till I get my hands on "Warrior's Soul".>>
<Johnathan`> << Ooooh.. combine that with "Warrior's Body" and "Warrior's Mind", and you can cast a whole second character! :D >>
<TheStoryteller> >> Bree uses Fury Punch to attack Brainpicker A! 1: Crit! 40! 2: Crit! 62! 3: crit! 34! 4: crit! 58! 5: crit! 60! 6: crit! 38! 7: 22!
<Johnathan> Yep. This is exactly why the waterslide idea would never work.
<TheStoryteller> >> Tahn's turn.
<Scott> <<John: Warrior's Soul is my lv. 30 in blade....reduces Mp costs for blade skills by 70%.>>
* Tahn rolls his eyes. "Wierdoes."
<Johnathan`> << Ah. ;) >>
* Haylee sighs. -_-
<Tahn> Wind which blows across eternity, gather in my hands and become my strength! Cyclone!!
* Tahn throws his arms up into the air as the winds in the area start getting more and more violent... forming into a large vortex that sweeps away the enemies!
* Johnathan nods. "Probably, Tahn. Probably."
<Tahn> «ooc: NOW feel free to make a Diem Wing reference, Scott ;P »
<Scott> <<which means tripling up on Succession technique with Lightspeed will cost considerably less Mp.>>
<TheStoryteller> << That cyclone? >>
<Tahn> «ooc: Hai. »
<Scott> <<The Blue Cyclone?>>
<Scott> <<Sorry, obscure musical reference.>>
<TheStoryteller> >> Tahn casts Cyclone! However, instead of ripping the brains up, huge mouths appear and suck the magical energy into them.. each Brain picker regains 48 Mp!
<Tahn> ...Oh. That did NOT work well.
<Tahn> New plan...
* Leon laughs
<Johnathan> << Mystic Attunement on the enemies, eh? Spiffy. ;) >>
<Scott> << No joke, Ras.>>
<Johnathan> Well, that was.. ah..
<Haylee> «ooc: ^_^ Looks like Arrow techs for me ;P »
<Johnathan> ..how'd they DO that?
<TheStoryteller> [Brainpicker] Mrrfftttyrrr..
* Haylee hms, then pulls out her bow and arrows. ^_^
<Johnathan> Oh dear. Tahn, you've given them a vowel!
<Haylee> «ooc: Y is sometimes considered a vowel :o »
<TheStoryteller> >> Brainpicker A opens it's maw and emits a mind wrenching wave...
* Tahn chuckles.
<Haylee> Agh! They have mind powers! Oww!
* Tahn then gets a brainfart. ;P
<Scott> hoo boy.
<Scott> looks like the closest thing these guys have to a brainstorm is a light drizzle.
<TheStoryteller> >> The entire party is DAZEd save Ishtar and Bree!
<Johnathan> << Hooooo boy. This could be ugly. ;) >>
<TheStoryteller> >> Brainpicker B uses Concentrate.. wis up 672!
* Bree blinks and looks around "Great.. now it's up to me and Ishy..."
<TheStoryteller> >> Brainpicker C floats over to Haylee and cups it's mouth oevr her head. :o

<Tahn> You're all just playthings.
<TheStoryteller> >> Haylee sure is feeling self conscious.. and also quite comatose... she takes 452 and is Ko'd!
* Haylee flies and hits a wall.
* Scott 's eyes have gone to the yellowish hue that usually came with DarkStar's revival...but this time it's the dazing effect...he's gone to the mode of being focused and not caring who he kills.
<Haylee> «ooc: ^_^ That was fun. »
<TheStoryteller> >> Leon is KO'd!
<Scott> <<Killing Leon was fun. ^_^>>
<TheStoryteller> >> Emili's turn.
<TheStoryteller> >> Emili's DAZE expires.
<Scott> <<I sincerely hope she has Red Priest's Resurrection...>>
<Tahn> «ooc: LUCKY BITCH »
<TheStoryteller> << well, technically she just stepepd in so.. ^^ >>
* Emili holds out her hand and calls out a chant. Her voices echoes within the area "Light of the deepest twilight, golden like the shining sun, stars from whence the wind came hear my prayer and lend me the greatest strength that no demon or dragon could hold."
-> [Emili] PING
<Bree> <ooc> *pokes Storen into msg* </ooc>

<TheStoryteller> >> Emili invokes Stars of the Wind!
<Scott> << Emili: Darkness beyond the blackest pitch..deeper than the deepest night.>>
<Tahn> «ooc: Em can sing with all the colors of the wind? »
<TheStoryteller> >> A sword of starlight forms in her hand... it pusles with radiance.
<Emili> <<And the AP is...? >=)>>
<Tahn> «ooc: 666 »
<Johnathan> << Three! ;) >>
<Scott> Oh look...Emmi has the Hikari no Ken.

<Tahn> ...What the hell are you talking about, freak?
<TheStoryteller> [Ishtar] Althena clear our minds to fight.. Motion Litany!
<TheStoryteller> >> Ishtar casts motion Litany.. the front row is cured of DAZE!
<Scott> Right now, Tahn, I have no earthly idea. 
<Emili> <<AP=1031 now, hee hee hee >=)>>
<Scott> <<Oh thank the goddess.>>
<Tahn> «ooc: Oh thank the goddess. »
<Tahn> «ooc: I'm still Dazed YAYAYA »

<TheStoryteller> << John here? :) >>
<Scott> <<hey, who killed Leon...that was the most fun I've had in a battle situation.>>
<Tahn> «ooc: * John strips nude and humps Leon rabidly. »
<Emili> <<And for using the naughty Aoshi pic!>>
<TheStoryteller> << Sheesh. ^^ >>
* Johnathan looks around, grumbles to himself, and decides he doesn't want to deal with it all. "Sod this."
<Leon> «ooc: Keep beating your chest about it »
<Tahn> «ooc: Hey! Scott conned me into this! ;p »
* Johnathan murmurs a few words, and fades to insubstantiality.
<TheStoryteller> >> Johnathan Phases out! He is untouchable by physical strikes..
<Tahn> «ooc: Tahn actually looks much more like Amiboshi. »
<TheStoryteller> >> Johnathan`'s turn.
<Scott> <<I swear...the next blade freak character I make is going to use broadswords.>>
* Haylee 's body lies rather...comatose....in Tahn's view :D
* Johnathan` reacts with less calm, just chucking two destructive motes of energy up into the air blindly.
<Tahn> «ooc: Uhm... STOREN... »
<Tahn> «ooc: Wasn't Session 39 called "Breaking Point"? »
<TheStoryteller> << No.. Zlyk's revenge. :) >>
<TheStoryteller> << I ahd to extend it >>
<TheStoryteller> >> Johnathan uses Mystic Vigor! Tear is cast on the enemy! Tear is cast on the Party!
<Tahn> «ooc: Oh »
<Scott> Oh shit.
<Haylee> «ooc: John is SUCH a loose cannon now :p »
<TheStoryteller> A huge explosion rocks the room with firey power..
* Tahn uses Leon as a shield.
* Leon is much too heavy for Tahn to lift
* Haylee is dead thus cannot feel anything ^_^
<Johnathan> << Yep. ;) >>
<Scott> Sure, John...go wake up the spirre guardians why don't you./
<Johnathan`> Huh?
* Scott guards Haylee with his own body.
<Scott> fucking moron...just setting off an explosion like that is just asking the guardians to attack us....
* Tahn guards his own body with a random party member.
<TheStoryteller> >> However it seems very weak than what you knew... the group takes 0 damage! Both John's take 146 and are KO'd! ^^ The enemy takes 5 a piece!
<Haylee> «ooc: Nelson: HAW HAW. :p »
* Tahn smiles.
<Tahn> After all, just a mere weakling.
<TheStoryteller> << Lol.. that.. was very odd. >>
* Johnathan` collapses, along with his other self
<TheStoryteller> >> Combat Round 2!
<Tahn> Only the strong survive...
<Scott> Ok...time to end this...

<Haylee> «ooc: I would have if I wasn't confused. I was considering offing both Johns too :p »
<Scott> <<~ only the lonely...know the way I feel tonight.  Only the lonely...know this feeling ain't right.~>>
<TheStoryteller> << John is so neat. he kills himself. ^^ >>
* Bree takes out her daggers, after replacing her saber, taking a unusal crest from inside her Jess' robes "Okay.. this has gone on long enough.. Time to get serious..."
<Scott> <<ok, Roy Orbison song...I know...bad reference.>>
<Johnathan> << Yep! ;) >>
* Bree closes her eyes, the pendant glowing... "Bunny Dragon Vigor!!"
<Haylee> «ooc: I KILLED MYSELF. ;_; »
<Tahn> «ooc: You're neat too »
<Scott> <<but you did it with such flare, Haylee. ^_^>>
<TheStoryteller> >> Bree feels the power of ages flow into ehr.. her attacks are doubled! She becomes Pre-emptive!
<Haylee> «ooc: ;) Ho ho ho. I don't care really ;) »
<TheStoryteller> >> Tahn's turn.
* Tahn twirls his whip ala Belmont.
<Scott> <<Really...you did it with such Flare.  *Hands Haylee a flare gun*  See? With Flare. ^_^>>
* Tahn snags one of the Brainpickers and proceeds to use it to beat the living hell out of the party, laughing maniacally.
<Scott> Tahn, you really should switch to Decaff.
<Tahn> «ooc: lol »
<TheStoryteller> >> Tahn hits Bree by accident! 1: Miss! 2: 32!
<Haylee> «ooc: Bu Tahn's not confused! »
<Tahn> «ooc: Yes I am. »
<Haylee> «ooc: Uh, you aren't Ishtar healed you ^^ »
<Scott> Man...that guy has some serious issues.
<TheStoryteller> << No.. I ehaled the front >>
<Tahn> «ooc: She healed the front row. »
* Bree turns around in shock, dodging one of his hits "Geez! Watch what you're doing! ^^;"
* Tahn laughs. "Impressive. You dodged my attack."
<TheStoryteller> >> Brainpicker A bobs about, and attaches itself to Ishtar's head! She loses 30 TP!
*** Bree is now known as Bree[GONE]
<TheStoryteller> [Ishtar] Ow.. get it off!
* Tahn starts talking badly-dubbed kung-fu. "But you cannot stop me! I am invincible hahahaha
<Bree[GONE]> <ooc> Gotta go! See everyone later! ;_; </ooc>
<Tahn> «ooc: Wah Bree :O »
<TheStoryteller> >> Brainpicker B tries to suck on Emili, but misses! :o
<Scott> <<OBSCENE!>>
<Haylee> «ooc: Hentaiii »
<TheStoryteller> >> Brainpicker C defends.
<TheStoryteller> >> Scott's turn.
<TheStoryteller> >> Final round of DAZE.
* Tahn trips over Haylee's body and lands in a rather... risqué position. ;)
* Haylee is dead thus cannot comment.
* Scott rushes at Brainpicker A, slicing with all his might....right now, he doesn't know what he's attacking off hand.
<Scott> <<Storen, I am in the front row.  I was cured of theDaze.>>
<TheStoryteller> << whoops.. right >>
<TheStoryteller> << sorry. :) >>
<Scott> <<Then just scratch the daze comment.. i forgot too.>>
<TheStoryteller> >> Scott attacks! 1: 95! 2: 90! 3: 89! Brainpicker A pops!

<TheStoryteller> >> Emili's weapon sinks deep into the Brains like cutting through the air! Brainpickers are weak to Star!
<TheStoryteller> >> 1: 820! Brainpicker B is cleft in twain!
* Emili slides past the next Brain and slams her sword into it!
<TheStoryteller> >> Redirecting to C 2: 799! 3: 768! Brainpicker C is mutilated in a pop of star power!
<Scott> <<now you tell us...I could have cast a Comet Rain on them and been done with it.>>
<TheStoryteller> >> Victory!
* Tahn blinks, blushes, gets up, and goes back the way he came, nonchalantly. ^^;
<Emili> Not really, it took 2 hits to get rid of that one. 
<TheStoryteller> >> All members gain 209 xp, and 1066 $P!
<Emili> <<Ack! Stupid script!  Nix that!>>
<Haylee> «ooc: Reviiiive me :o »
<TheStoryteller> >> All downed members Revive! Tahn's status is cleared.

* Haylee ows....ows again.
* Johnathan` slowly gets up. "Well, that was irritating."
<Scott> tell me about it.
* Haylee stands up and stumbles after the others, looking down. :/
*** TheStoryteller changes topic to '-= Chapter 40: Breaking Point | Blue Labirynth, 1F | 8723 $P =- +351'
* Emili dusts her hands off "No problem!"
* Scott sheathes his sword, and follows after Haylee.
* Johnathan picks himself up as well, wincing. "Ough.. what hit me?"
* Leon stands up silently
<TheStoryteller> The path is clear now.. of course your heads are still reeling. ^^
* Leon brushes off his cape, and prepares for the journey
* Tahn is far ahead, feeling like an ass now ^^;
* Johnathan stumbles along.
<Johnathan`> You know, Leon..
<TheStoryteller> You all return to the room where this whole expedition started. It seems nothing has changed, but through the door way, somethign shimmers in the distance near the gaping maw of a pit.
* Leon pulls his hat down over his eyes, "What..."
* Tahn is already near mister shimmery. ;P
<Johnathan`> You never did tell me why I was wrong about our personal feelings here not mattering.
* Scott walks up to the shimmery object, but not before giving Haylee a literal pick-me-up, seeing how she's stumbling along.
<TheStoryteller> The shimmering is in fact a platform that was never there before, floating on the wind below like a bridge to the door.
<Haylee> Thanks Scott...
<Scott> no problem.
<Leon> ..because personal feelings are the reason why we're here.  
* Tahn walks along the platform.
<Leon> ..each of us has goals and things to achieve here
<TheStoryteller> It seems stable. You also notice a star carved in blue tile as the source of the glow.
<Leon> ..including myself.
<Scott> Eh?  Look at that.
* Tahn ignores it and walks on.
<Haylee> Hmm..
<Johnathan`> Really? You almost sound as if you had no reason to be here sometimes..
<Leon> ..I have no reason to be with any of you, no.
<TheStoryteller> << we did a lot of fighting so fast.. wow. ^^ >>
<TheStoryteller> << I'm getting a little better. >>
<Leon> «ooc: Because John didn't take any 20 minute actions ;) »
<Leon> ..however I have my goals in Virtue's fall, which I would accomplish with..or without you
* Emili pops over to John' and Leon "Watcha guys doin'?"

Session Time: Mon May 22 00:00:00 2000

* Haylee stays quiet..
<Haylee> «ooc: Cuz I'm eating popcorn :D »
<Johnathan`> Ah.. I see
<TheStoryteller> You finally come to the stairs leading upward.
* Scott stays silent as well...<<not because of popcorn, though...>>
<Johnathan`> Emili.. nothing much. Just talking.
<Leon> ..nothing, batgirl.
<Johnathan`> Virtue... does she really deserve to be taken out?
* Tahn walks up the stairs, trying to get away from the group ASAFP.
<Leon> If her plans are to defy Althena's Legacy, yes.
<TheStoryteller> A few dents are in the marble inlaid steps, but they are decidely more fancy that the rest of this place so far.

<Emili> Well, if you guys wouldn't mind, but can we save the philisophical stuff for later, we kinda need to focus our attention on the here and now. =)
* Emili beams a smile ^_^
<Scott> <<Don't mention the word Legacy, Leon....I have been reading my old X-Men books and most of htem had to deal with Stryfe's Legacy Virus.>>
<Johnathan`> Althena's Legacy... Leon, I'm a living defiance of Althena, I think...
<Leon> ..you're too confused to think
<TheStoryteller> << X-ecutioners' song agenda arc? ^^ >>
<Leon> Wait until you're you again
<Scott> <<After that, actually...between X-Cutioner's Song and Fatal Attractions.>>
<Emili> <<X-Men movie with Matrix-styled costumes =)>>
<TheStoryteller> << Ah yeah.. I remember that. :) >>
<TheStoryteller> You find yourself in a circular room.. the only thing of note is a VERY huge statue between you and the stairway ahead at the other end.
<Scott> <<Fatal Attractions was basically another "Return of Magneto" Story...but the writers pulled it off so well.>>
<Tahn> ...
<Johnathan`> Maybe...
<Johnathan`> ..but John thought that too.
<TheStoryteller> It looks like a part man, part snake with a huge mace.
* Tahn tries to go to the staircase, not expecting success.
<Leon> ..in the mean time, I'd save any...conversations that require high level thinking
<Haylee> Ack. Let's pass this quickly.
<Emili> <<MvC2 came to the Arcades now, its hard to figure out cause I'm used to playing the DC version of it, Fierce and Roundhouse are non usable buttons for attack now. =)>>
<Scott> Holy shit...the spire guardian has resurrected.
<Leon> Because you sound pretty...dumb.
<TheStoryteller> Tahn can't squeeze past the hulking visage. It's too near the door.
<Johnathan> Whew.. what's that thing..?
<Johnathan`> ..fair enough, Leon.
<TheStoryteller> [Ishtar] The Guardian, it must be.
<Tahn> ...Spire guardian.
<Scott> It's the guardian of te spire, Johnathan.
<Tahn> If it knows what's good for it, it'll move without fuss.
<Emili> Well... let's get rid of it, its in the way
<Leon> Looks like we'll be getting some overtime, today
<Tahn> If not...
<TheStoryteller> << PAUSE one moment? >>
* Tahn steps back. "Leon will take care of it."
<Haylee> «ooc: fine by me! "Eats popcorn :D »
<TheStoryteller> << brb. >>
* Leon snickers, "So sure, are you?"
<Johnathan> << Sure. Gives me time to.. uh.. I donno >>

<Scott> <<you know, now I know why Rasis got the Lord of Nightmares...>>
<TheStoryteller> The Guardian stands unmoving... but it doesn't seem bolted to the floor.
<Tahn> ...
<Tahn> You know...
<Scott> this sucks.
<Tahn> We'd like to get through. -_-;
<Leon> Maybe I'll just pull a Tahn and sit this one out
<Haylee> Let's all try to push the staute, maybe?
<TheStoryteller> The hulking giant makes no response.
<Johnathan> We could always ask it to move
* Tahn starts on the idea Hay suggested.
* Tahn starts pushing :O
* Haylee pushes too!
* Scott starts pushing.
<Haylee> «ooc: Let's all push! obscene we is! »
* Johnathan` stays out of the way
<TheStoryteller> Tahn and Haylee move it a faint inch or two.
* Leon yawns
<Haylee> More! More! C'mon!
<TheStoryteller> Ishtar tries lending a hand, and Jack, Adam and Elrika join in. It moves a good deal more.
* Emili just waves Rosebud around. "It might be better if we just smashed it ya know."
* Tahn strains
* Leon pushes the statue with one hand
* Leon yawns while doing it
* Scott pushes, and runst he risk of pulling some muscles in his back here..
<TheStoryteller> Once Leon comes in the whole thing jerks sideways a great distance!
<Haylee> Whoa!
<Leon> «ooc: Naturally »
<TheStoryteller> The doorway is clear.
* Tahn goes through. ^_^
<Haylee> Let's go before it wakes up!
* Haylee runs up the stairs.
<TheStoryteller> Apparently, the guardian isn't awake either.
* Emili leans on Rosebud watching intently "A little more to the right... that's it... yeah."
* Leon dusts off his hands
* Scott follows Tahn.
<Leon> That was easy.
<Tahn> (m) Get me the fuck away from them...get me the fuck away from them...

<Johnathan`> Well.. er.. good.

* Johnathan` heads up the stairs
<Leon> «ooc: I thought Tahn's absense from the group was suppose to make him..not an idiot." »
* Leon follows closely, still bringing up the rear
* Johnathan watches the statue for a moment, then follows
<Tahn> «ooc: It was. He wasn't. Until he got back with the group. »
<TheStoryteller> You all hurry upstairs, and reach another room.. this one has a few more platforms suspended oevr the pits bearing symbols as well..
<Emili> <<Tahn still makes a good battering ram>>
<Johnathan`> << Nuts! They expanded the spire. >>
<Tahn> «ooc: You can bite me, Em. »
<Leon> «ooc: I can slow Tahn down if the party wants ;) »
<Tahn> ...
<TheStoryteller> It's a straight shot to the door, as it seems they are aligned already by someone.
<TheStoryteller> << This is the final room.. :) >>
* Tahn starts walking forward.
<Leon> «ooc: Message me your votes, do I slow him down, or let him continue ;) »
* Scott follows Tahn.
<Tahn> «ooc: Here's my vote, Leon: Shut the fuck up, E. ^_^ You're a great deal less of an asshole as Victor. »
<TheStoryteller> You walk over the bridge, noting pictures in the tile.. that of the Lunar, the Blue Star, the Sun, and a Star..
* Johnathan wanders along, looking around and frowning.
<Leon> «ooc: Your vote doesn't count :P »
<TheStoryteller> You start to hear a dull crackling of rock.
<Haylee> ?
<Johnathan> << Well SHIT. >>
<Scott> <<and even less of an asshole as Lamont.>>
<Scott> Eh?
<Haylee> Huh?
<TheStoryteller> From the opposite end of the pathway appears the Guardian of the Spire... alive! :o

<Haylee> No!
* Haylee tries to run for it!
* Scott makes an attempt to make tracks.
* Tahn lets the party run around him. If he gets killed, eh, so what.
<Johnathan> Why on earth are we running?
<TheStoryteller> You run down the remaining platforms, only to find the door to the stairway blocked by some sort of field! Your'e trapepd on the bridge!
<Scott> Oh great..we've gotta fight the damned guardian...we're trapped.
<Leon> ...looks like we're not done.
<Tahn> Figured as much.
<Emili> I told you we should of smashed it while we still had the chance
<TheStoryteller> *THUNK* *THUNK*.. the hulking snake-man moved towards you.
<TheStoryteller> << er moves >>
* Haylee sighs. -_-
* Scott takes his battou stance again. <<I'm tellin ya, Warrior's Soul would make this battle so much easier.>>
<TheStoryteller> [Ishtar] This isn't good!
<Johnathan> Think, people! We faced off against a demon lord.. and you're all running from some overgrown statue?
<Leon> ..no, I'm not running.
<Tahn> I'm not running.
<Tahn> For once.
<Johnathan> We can take this thing. Dear lord, half of us could sit down and play cards and we could take this thing.
<Scott> <<Oh to hell wtih it..I'll double up on Succession Technique if it means this battle ends faster.>>
<Tahn> That's what I was saying before.
<Tahn> That's why I wasn't doing anything then.
<Leon> ...I don't fear any man...or beast.
<Johnathan> There's nothing to fear except fear itself.
<Tahn> Fear's for the idiotic and the melodramatic.

* Tahn unfurls his whip.
<TheStoryteller> >> tTe Guardian begins swinging it's Mace!
<TheStoryteller> >> Bree DEFENDs!
<Johnathan> It was rather interesting... I learned one valuable lesson in that class. Water spirits hate my guts.
* Scott takes to the front row, still in his battou stance.
<Tahn> «ooc: Oh, forge tit, Storen. ;P »
<TheStoryteller> >> Tahn's turn.
<Tahn> Vanish! Fade away! Melt away! Phase Litany!
* Tahn casts Phase Litany on the party! They seem to fade into the nearby surroundings with the power of the spell!
<Tahn> «ooc: Got ya covered, Scott. ;) »
<Scott> <<Well, I'm gonna double up on Succession technique.
* Haylee looks down. :/
<TheStoryteller> >> Phase Litany.. all allies Dodge goes up 682!
<Scott> <<meaning I can go for Hitokiri's Focus/and then double up.>>
<TheStoryteller> >> Scott's turn.
<Tahn> «ooc: I'm back BTW »
<Johnathan> I'm impressed, Tahn...
* Tahn pokes Haylee on the shoulder "What's wrong?"
<Leon> ..neat trick
<Johnathan> You're halfway there.. we're still solid.. but.. barely.
* Scott takes on the look of an assassin as he charges at the monster, using his succession technique...<<Double up effect, Storen.>>
<Haylee> Nothing... :/
<Tahn> Bull.
* Tahn smiles and makes a 'V' sign in John and Leon's direction.
<Haylee> You said that I complain too much and that I'm horrible. :/
<Haylee> Something along that line.
* Tahn blinks
<Tahn> I did? O_o
<Tahn> When was this?
<Haylee> Yeah. You were confused and all, I realize that...but I think you meant it too -_-
<Tahn> WHAT?! O_o
<Haylee> O_o
<Haylee> You didn't?
* Scott rotates around as the initial strike is blocked, causing a wind vortex to pull the guardian closer to him. He then strikes again, using all his strength to slice through the monster wtih Misgoi.
<TheStoryteller> >> Scott moves faster than Light! He Focuses.. coutnering enabled, hit% up 360!
<Leon> Some of us do thinks we aren't proud of, Haylee.
<Scott> <<double up effect on succession...>>
<Leon> I can remember in mass confusion I blew away Batgirl.  
<Johnathan> Haylee, you have to realize that people generally don't mean a thing they say when magically confused. It has to do with... actually, I don't remember the technicals, I failed that class too.
<Leon> ..I might not like her, but she didn't deserve that.
<Johnathan> Point is, people ramble. 
<Tahn> It has to do with the fact your brain's all screwy.
<Johnathan`> And blow each other away.
<Johnathan> That to.
<TheStoryteller> >> Scott uses Succession Technique doubly... Guardian is hit for 2301 damage!
<Johnathan> << too >>
<TheStoryteller> [Guardian] aTTACKING iS uSELESS!
* Tahn looks at John and John. "Does that mean you care now?"
<TheStoryteller> >> Emili's turn.
<Haylee> Sorry...:/ I'm just really senstive today...
<Johnathan> Care about what?
<Johnathan> I care about plenty of things.
<Scott> looks like it took a pretty good sized chunk out of your hide, pal.
<Tahn> ...Hmm.
<Johnathan`> But caring doesn't make something important.
<Leon> Johnathan, what did I tell you
<TheStoryteller> << when you all get a chance, please indicate which John you will follow in msg... hope or doubt (hint as to destinations) ^^ >>
<Tahn> ...
<Johnathan> Well.. no. Like I said.. personal feelings are a touch irrelevant.
<Johnathan> But I.. have.. fragments of them? We. I. Whatever. It's confusing, Tahn.
<Emili> <<Ack,m sorry..>>
<Johnathan`> Er.. right, Leon. But Tahn asked. And.. hooooo.. I'm rambling.
* Emili slashes at the Guardian
<Leon> John, shut up
<Johnathan> Me?
<Johnathan`> Me?
<Leon> Both of you
<Scott> why did those 2 just sound like an opera singer warming up?
<Johnathan`> Oh.
<Johnathan> Ah.
<TheStoryteller> >> Emili's star sword doesn't even penetrate the stone... 1: 8! 2: 4! 3: 6!
<Emili> Hmmm... 
<TheStoryteller> >> Haylee's turn.
<Emili> Guess I gotta power up! 
<Leon> Haylee..
<Haylee> Yes?
<Leon> What element do you suggest for rock
* Johnathan` oddly actually falls silent.
<Tahn> Rock...
<Scott> Water, Leon.
<Tahn> Hmm.
<Johnathan> Air.
<Haylee> Hold on...maybe I can add a bit of power to your attacks...
<Tahn> It's either water or air.
<Johnathan> ..or did I fail that class as well? Hrm.
* Haylee clasps her hands to her heart, closing her eyes and calling upon her inner strength.. Opening her mouth carefully, what begins as a faint, wind-swept whisper escalates into an inspiring song that seems to reverberate around the party. The song awakens their latent vigor and strengthens thier resolve, increasing power and defense!
<Tahn> Depends on if it's rock or earth.
<Haylee> «ooc: Looovee meeee ;D »
<Leon> That looks like a big rock to me.
<Johnathan> Problem is.. are we sure it's still rock? Transmutation, rock to flesh... it's not hard. Especially if it was originally flesh turned to rock.
<TheStoryteller> >> Haylee sings a song of Courage! AP/DP up for all allies by 277!
<Leon> Thank you, Haylee...
<Scott> Thanks, Haylee.
<Johnathan> It'd effectively make these things immortal, too. Statues don't age, and if you're a big rock when you aren't needed to beat the hell out of intruders, you aren't going to get bored
<TheStoryteller> >> Leon's turn.
<Haylee> No problem...
<Tahn> I'd try water. If you don't do damage to it with that, Leon, then my Air spells may be able to make a dent.
<Leon> ...I agree, Tahn.
<Scott> I know my succession technique took a good chunk out of it...but I can't believe it blocked the initial strike.
* Johnathan` blinks
* Leon twirls his pistols out of his cloak and holds one up to his mouth, "Water..."
<Haylee> Lightning maybe?
<Tahn> No.
* Leon turns his pistols onto the enemy and opens fire
<Tahn> Rock is grounded by nature, Hay.
<Leon> The ground absorbs electricity
<Haylee> Greaat.
<Emili> <<Anyone want a remixed MP3 of the PSX ToP opening?>> 
<TheStoryteller> >> Leon activates Prism Shot! Magnum takes on Water element! Guardian is weak to Water!
<Tahn> «ooc: Heheh, Sure. I have the SFC remix, the PSX one would complete the set. »
<Tahn> «ooc: Good call, Hay. ^_^ »
<Tahn> «ooc: Er, Scott, too. »
<Haylee> «ooc: Why a good call? :P Dooh »
<Emili> <<This is not a midi mind you, its the actual singing version from the PSX opening, just remixed =)>>
<TheStoryteller> >> But still it seems almost invincible.. 1: 32! 2: 50! 3: 44! 4: crit! 90! 5: 33! 6: crit! 101!
<Tahn> «ooc: Send. I don't mind MP3 DCCs »
<Tahn> Well..
<Scott> <<I guess I learned something from my nephew talking about Pokemon all the time. :P>>
<Tahn> It seems to have...kinda worked.
<TheStoryteller> >> Second attack... 1: 0! 2: 0! 3: 0! 4: 0! 5: 0!
<Tahn> «ooc: LOL Scott »
<Emili> <<Well, I'm not finished yet, and giving you the URL is a problem cause it has all these % thingies in it.>>
<Johnathan`> Might I offer a suggestion?
<Tahn> Anyone other than me got some decentt spells? ^^;
<Johnathan`> We might want to take some magic to this thing.
<TheStoryteller> >> Ishtar lowers her wing tips and calls forth a storm of focused light!
<Scott> Ok...I can try my star magic...for what it's worth.
<Tahn> I know that, John. The only problem is I may have my hands full keeping the party alive.
<Emili> <<86% done>>
<TheStoryteller> >> Purifier! 483 damage!
<Johnathan> Oooh.. I wouldn't say that, Tahn.
<Tahn> Eh>
<Tahn> «ooc: ? »
<TheStoryteller> [Ishtar] It's weak to magic! But can we stop it in time.. *points to the Mace*
<TheStoryteller> >> Johnathan's turn.
* Johnathan` smiles. "We have more time than you might think, Ishtar."
* Johnathan murmurs, pointing at Tahn and giving him just that.. more time.
<Tahn> Time...
* Tahn grins.
<Tahn> Now it's...time...to play. >;)
<TheStoryteller> >> Tahn feels faster.. swiftness is cast! He gains an additional action! :D
<TheStoryteller> >> Johnathan`'s turn.
<Johnathan`> Well, if that's the game we're playing..
* Johnathan` forms a little ball of energy in his hands, sending it also towards Tahn.
<Tahn> «ooc: Slow! Slow! Slow! »
<Tahn> «ooc: Not to me! :O »
<Tahn> «ooc: Oh, wait. It's a good thing, isn't it. :P »
<Johnathan`> << Probably. Though I wouldn't put it past pyschoboy here.. ;) >>
<TheStoryteller> >> Johnathan uses Surge! Tahn's wis up 110, dodge up 58!
<TheStoryteller> >> Combat Round 2!
<TheStoryteller> [Guardian] oNLY tHE cHOSEN aRE aLLOWED aCCESS tO tHE cRYSTAL! tHE tIME iS nOT yET fOR hUMANS tO rETURN!
<Johnathan`> << One HP, 11 mp. Oh yeah. ;) >>
<Haylee> Stop talking like that! >_<
<Johnathan`> Actually.. Hey! Guardian!
<Tahn> ...Chosen, eh?
<Leon> Haylee, if my bullets can't penetrate the rock, it'll be up to you magic users to handle the brunt of the damage.
<Scott> yeah, what language is that anyway?
<TheStoryteller> [Guardian] nO mORE tALK! bEGONE!!
<Leon> ..I'll just tank
<Haylee> Right.
<TheStoryteller> >> The Guadrian swings it's Mace into the bridge you stand on!
<Johnathan> We CAN'T 'begone'. You're blocking the way ou...
<Tahn> «ooc: <Leon> I'd like to tank the academy... »
<Johnathan`> Oh shit!
<Scott> oH sHUT uP fOR cRYING oUT lOUD!  OH SHIT.  Now you've got me doing it.
<TheStoryteller> >> The Mace breaks... and the platforms shudder!
<Tahn> Hmm. Well...looks like we're in for a bit of a drop. ^^;
* Tahn starts chanting an Aether Wing spell... ^^;
<TheStoryteller> Before you can act, they are swept out from under you.. you plunge into the inky depths, the winds overpowering Tahn's magic!
<Tahn> Hell. ^^;
<Scott> O_ox;
<TheStoryteller> >> Tthe Party is defeated... <<
<Haylee> Ahhh!!
<Scott> Not quite...but we'll be there soon!

<TheStoryteller> << HUsh >>

<TheStoryteller> I need a count on who is going where. Just to clarify. ;)
<Tahn> «ooc: *jams to the Tenchi Muyo TV opening* »
<Haylee> «ooc: You know where I'm going :) »
* Tahn is going to hope, because you told him to. ;)
<Scott> <<Following the John of Hope.>>
<Johnathan`> << I'm going.. uh.. yeah. Nevermind >>
<Leon> «ooc: Going where? »
<TheStoryteller> << To the Blue Star or not. ;) >>
<Tahn> Leon: To hell if you don't mend your ways. ;)
* Leon snickers, I'm the voice of reason
<Johnathan`> << Good old doubt John's gonna wind up on his own. ;) >>
<Leon> I guess I'm going to the blue star
<Tahn> Go with doubt john ;)
<Scott> <<Send Adam, Elrika, and Xavier with Doubt John. ^_^>>
<Haylee> «ooc: And Bree? »
<TheStoryteller> << elrika and xavier are splitting. ^^ >>
<Johnathan`> << <Doubt John> Nooooooooooooo :o >>
<TheStoryteller> Bree defaults to Lunar. ;)
<TheStoryteller> I warn you, each side is equally important.
<Tahn> Who's going where, Stor-chan?
<Tahn> And...
<Tahn> Leon.. ^_^ 
<Tahn> Stay on Lunar. Tahn's going to the Blue Star. ;)
<Tahn> That's reason enough to go the other way IC, isn't it?
* Scott could change if need be.
<Leon> I don't care.
<Tahn> K. ^_^
<Leon> I'll go where I'm needed.
<TheStoryteller> I need a consensus before I continue.. and balanced parties. Also.. if we might be able to fudge two splits in one week. :)
<Haylee> «ooc: Hurry quick I have sour tummy :( »
<Scott> who's going where as of now?
* Tahn has no choice in the matter... ^_^
* Tahn has to go to the Blue Star regardless.
<Haylee> I'm going with Hope John. :)
<Scott> that's 2 with Hope John...
<TheStoryteller> Hope: Tahn, Haylee, Elrika   Doubt: Xavier, Bree
<Scott> I'd rather go with the rest of the pillars.
<Johnathan`> Hope to the blue star? Hrm.. opposite of how I'd have done it.. but hey.
<Johnathan`> Ah, but Scott.. John's going both ways. ;)
<Scott> We can send Jack to Lunar and Leon too...that'd balance the group out.
<Tahn> John: Your door swings both ways?
<TheStoryteller> I will move them as necessary. :)
<Leon> No you can't ;)
<Tahn> Leon wants to go Blue.
<Leon> Leon goes where Leon wants ;)
* Emili doesn't care where, but Blue Star sounds nice.
<Tahn> Leon goes...to the bathroom.
<TheStoryteller> Emili, I'd like you on Blue.
<Scott> Oh fuck..I don't give a shit...just don't stick me in the same group with Adam.
<Tahn> Shouldn'tve told them who went where. ^_^
<TheStoryteller> hehe. ^^
<Johnathan`> C'mon.. SOMEONE needs to keep Bree company. ;)
<TheStoryteller> Adam's going to be on Lunar.
<Leon> Well, my suggestion would be to keep certain characters paired.
* Tahn would but he can't.
<Leon> But we're kinda beyond that point.
<Tahn> "Certain characters"?
<TheStoryteller> I'mt rying to seperate any pairs purposely. :)
<Johnathan> I say split every obvious.. Yeah!
<Leon> Oh, gomen Storen ;)
<Johnathan> Keep Bree and Tahn, Elrika and Xavier, John and Haylee apart.
<Tahn> Okay...
<Johnathan> ....
<Tahn> Er.
<TheStoryteller> You'll see why.
<Johnathan> ..ok, so  avoiding John is impossible
<Scott> Ok..I'll go to Lunar.
<Tahn> Bad move on the last one, John.
<Johnathan> My bad.
<Scott> though I might wind up killing Adam in the process.
<TheStoryteller> I'll move Adam then. Not sure what his take was.. ^^
<Haylee> ST, how much more of the session do we have after this? :)
<TheStoryteller> looks good now.. if Leon doesn't mind staying away from Tahn. ;)
<Scott> Where is Ishtar going anyway?
<Tahn> Keep Leon and Emili seperated, and Ishtar and Adam.
<Leon> I won't throw Tahn
<TheStoryteller> Lunar. Her and Emili are opoosed in a way.. you'll see too. :)
<Leon> I haven't thus far ;)
<Johnathan> So..
<TheStoryteller> How's this..
<TheStoryteller> BS
<TheStoryteller> Tahn
<TheStoryteller> Haylee
<TheStoryteller> Elrika
<TheStoryteller> Emili
<TheStoryteller> Adam
<TheStoryteller> Lunar
<TheStoryteller> Xavier
<TheStoryteller> Bree
<TheStoryteller> Leon
<TheStoryteller> Scott
<TheStoryteller> Ishtar
<Tahn> BS? Bullshit? :O
<Scott> LOL!
<Emili> Looks good to me =)
<TheStoryteller> Blue Star
<Haylee> okay :D
<Johnathan> Blue Star, wiseass. ;)
<Scott> sounds fine to me..
<Scott> easy for you to say, Lord of Nightmares.
<Leon> Whateva
<TheStoryteller> All in agreement? Great. :)
<Leon> Not really ;)
<Leon> but that's okay :)
* Leon works with Storytellers :)
<TheStoryteller> Now let's finish this. :)

<Scott> <<How are we doing the split?>>

<Johnathan`> << Seperate channels, I'd imagine. >>
<Emili> <<Who recieved a funky looking e-mail from me a while ago?>>
<Haylee> «ooc: I did »
<Scott> <<I did.>>
<Scott> <<I hope this doesn't mean you're restarting Legend, Emmi.>>
<Tahn> «ooc: Dunno. Was it in japanese? I recieved one of those recently »
<TheStoryteller> Eventually, you start to hear a few familiar voices.. they come closer to each of you in the inky blackness.
* Tahn 'd blink if he could feel his eyes
<TheStoryteller> Johnathan opens his eyes.
<TheStoryteller> << Hope. :) >>
<Johnathan> << Right! >>
<Emili> <<Okay, basically it was very messed up it was supposed to be sent to Storen, TB, Lucca, Lou and Rasis, but it just was totally weirded out and everything.>>
<Scott> <<Just how are you doing this split?>>
<TheStoryteller> << in smae chan for now.. :) >>
<TheStoryteller> << just need to get youe achs etup. >>
<Tahn> «ooc: OH. I got it, Em. »
* Johnathan opens his eyes and looks around.
<Leon> «ooc: Let's play this game and we'll worry about how the split is done later »
<Scott> <<I have to be up early to hunt for a job tomorrow, Nygs.>>
<Leon> «ooc: I gotta be up early for work. »
<Leon> «ooc: I deal with it. »
<TheStoryteller> You see a very plain stone room all about you, with a flashing blue tile in the corner. Scattered about are the bodies of some of your friends, Tahn, Haylee, Emili, Adam, and Elrika.
<Johnathan> << Meanwhile, for Luk, it's.. 10? ;) Pacific people! Gah! ;) >>
<TheStoryteller> << I'm ending in a few.. don't worry. I too have work. >>
* Tahn is unconscious.

<Johnathan> << One here. ;) >>

<TheStoryteller> << surely >>
<Haylee> «ooc: Whoo! :D »
<TheStoryteller> One by one, they all awake.
<Tahn> «ooc: heh. »
* Haylee merfs and holds her head.
<TheStoryteller> [Adam] Gah.. what hit me?
<Tahn> Bleah. Someone get the liscence plate of that truck? @_@
<Haylee> My spleen... :/
<TheStoryteller> << heh ^^ >>
* Emili climbs off Adam "Me you sic!"
<Scott> <<Don't tell me someone spleen bladed Lucca.>>
* Emili ducts herself off "Whoa... what happened."
<Johnathan> Everyone all right?
<TheStoryteller> Adam gets up, using his bastard sword for leverage.
<Emili> <<Dusts!>>
<Scott> <<* Emili duct tapes herself to Adam.>>
<Tahn> I'm fine... at least as fine as I can be after falling some 5,000 feet.
<TheStoryteller> Haylee feels an empty presence all about.. like the minds of everyone else are cut off.
<Johnathan> Not a pancake, hrm?
* Tahn tries to stand up. ^^;
<Haylee> Oh god! ;_; I broke my head!
<Johnathan> You.. broke.. your head?
<Haylee> «ooc: godess ;_; »
* Tahn raises an eyebrow "Eh?"
*** Leon has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<TheStoryteller> Elrika comes to, and starts frantically searching for Xavier.
* Emili looks at Haylee "No you didn't."
<Haylee> I can't feel any presences..
* Haylee cries!
<Tahn> Not even ours?
<Scott> <<Since when did Haylee become Jean Grey?>>
<TheStoryteller> [Elrika] Xavier? Where are you!
<Haylee> ;_; Goddess today has sucked!...No! nothing!
* Emili baps Haylee "Cut it out, you never could feel mine before so what's your problem!"
<Tahn> ...It just could be that your powers are sealed or something. ^^;
<TheStoryteller> Haylee feels everyone, silly. :)
<TheStoryteller> << in ehre at elast >>

<Haylee> At least...not the ohters...
<Haylee> Just all of you. ;_;
<Emili> <<Agh typos everywhere!!>>
<Johnathan> If it's any comfort.. they're probably still alive, somewhere.
*** Leon (enygma@216-61-223-70.dialup.cyberback.com) has joined #Lunar-IoG
*** Scott sets mode: +o Leon
* Haylee sighs.
<Leon> «ooc: Thanks..damn ISP »
<Johnathan> At least.. I think that if my other half died, I'd go down too. SO if I'm still standing...
<TheStoryteller> Emili gets a familiar feeling from the glowing tile near the corner. Like it's calling to her. John also feels it.
<Tahn> Hell...Leon's probably with them. They're either alive or all swiss cheese. ^^;
<Tahn> And I KNOW Bree wouldn't die that easily...
* Emili apporoaches the tile "hm?"
* Johnathan turns his head to look at the tile. "What's..?"
* Johnathan walks towards it with Emili.
<Emili> It's glowing green...
* Emili scratches her head.
<TheStoryteller> It's a complicated series of glowing runic markings in the shape of the ever familiar star. Maybe a teleporter?
<Haylee> Strange...
<Johnathan> I see it as blue..
* Emili presses it
* Tahn blinks. ^^;
<TheStoryteller> There's nothing to press. But as soon as she steps on it, she is enveloped by light and vanishes!
<Haylee> Agh! Em!
<Haylee> O_o
<Johnathan> Well.. I doubt it's a magical blender or anything.
<Tahn> ...Think we should follow her?
* Johnathan steps on as well
<Haylee> Probably.
<TheStoryteller> Haylee still feels Emili's mind.. so apparently, she's not dead. ^^
* Haylee follows John...even though John now doesn't care about her, the bastard. ;)
* Emili 's voice echoes just as she goes, "What a rush-ush-ush-ush!"

* Johnathan` mutters a curse, and closes them again
<Emili> <<Not so, I've said it a couple times>>
<Tahn> «ooc: Yay! »
* Johnathan` then thinks better of it, and opens them, looking around.
<TheStoryteller> You see a very plain stone room all about you, with a flashing blue tile in the corner. Scattered about are the bodies of some of your friends, Bree, Leon, Scott, Ishtar, and Xavier.
<Tahn> «ooc: LOL john »
<Johnathan`> << First time tonight, maybe. ;) >>
<Haylee> «ooc: Johnathan`: Yes! That bitch Haylee isn't here! Let's party! »

<TheStoryteller> Fortunately, one by one, they all awake.
* Scott grabs his head. "Anyone got a tylenol the size of Taben's peak? I have a headache that won't quit."
* Leon stands up silently, and takes in his new surroundings, "..."

<TheStoryteller> [Xavier] OW DAMNIT!
<Leon> So...let's assume that the others are still a live as well..
<Johnathan`> And yes, Leon.. I am. Your point?
<TheStoryteller> [Jack] *_*
<Scott> so if you're still kickin', I'd assume the other you is too.
<Leon> My point is..the other you isn't here.
<Leon> Which means..if he's dead, you're dead.
<Johnathan`> Ah.. I see. No, I'm pretty sure he could die without my dying.
<Tahn> «ooc: lol »
<Leon> I'm pretty sure you're wrong.
<TheStoryteller> [Ishtar] We shouldn't despair.
<Johnathan`> I might feel it though.. but.. hell, maybe that'd be the answer to my problem.
* Scott rolls his eyes. "Here we go again."
<TheStoryteller> Jack wakes up and looks at the tile.
<Leon> ..but in any case...
<TheStoryteller> [Jack] Hey, pretty light. ^^
<Scott> don't these guys ever tire of arguing?
<Leon> ..ripping your head off won't solve matters..
<Scott> what is it, Jack?
<TheStoryteller> [Jack] *stands up* They always say go towards the light, right?
<Johnathan`> That's the dead people, Jack.
<TheStoryteller> Jack points at the glowing tile. It appears to be in runic script of some type in the shape of a star.
<Johnathan`> They say when you die, you see a light, and you go towards it
<Leon> I'm forced to agree with Jack, in this case.
<Johnathan`> But you might be right.
<Leon> We don't have any other options to go on
<Scott> well, we're not dead, but I'd assume this tile might hold our answers.
<Johnathan`> True. It's the.. glowy thing.. or sitting here, huh?
<Emili> <<Okay basically the e-mail was to advertise for my new RPG, I need 7-12PCs and 2-3 other GMs to help with the planning of the story and other original world and techy stuff.  /msg me or e-mail if you are enticed about being a co-GM =)>>

<Leon> Everyone onto the tile.
* Scott steps onto the tile.
<TheStoryteller> [Ishtar] Maybe.. it's a telporter? That didn't look fatal..
<Johnathan`> Here goes notbing.
<Johnathan`> Yeah.. it's PROBABLY not some sort of magical blender..
* Johnathan` steps onto the tile.
<TheStoryteller> [Xavier] Come back here so I can nibble you for landing on me! :o
* Leon awaits for everyone to step onto the tile before going himself
<Scott> shut up, Possum.
<TheStoryteller> Xavier and Ishtar walk onto it, and along with everyone are whisked away somewhere...
