[21:02] <@operatorB> But wait! 03[21:02] * Benjamin (Tortles@sux-181DE3D5.hsd1.ma.comcast.net) has joined #Beach [21:02] <@operatorB> You find some other fuckers heading towards your location 03[21:02] * OperatorK is now known as DetectiveDoe 03[21:02] * Retrieving #Beach modes... [21:02] "Actually yeah, take me back." [21:02] "As in... The one they asked us to go?" 03[21:02] * operatorB is now known as operator [21:02] "Well that is a fucking coincidence." 06[21:02] * Benjamin approaches the building with the pokemon center gang. He recognizes the rest of their group, and smiles a bit, glad that they made it. [21:02] 1d20 WIS to see/recognize them. [21:02] Ignatius, WIS to see/recognize them.: 1 [1d20=1] [21:03] <@operator> Ignatius is blind again [21:03] "Hi all." Attempts to hide injury. 06[21:03] * Tison looks. "Oh it's you guys hello." [21:03] "Where's my bro?" [21:04] 1d20 WIS to notice Al's current state. [21:04] Benjamin, WIS to notice Al's current state.: 5 [1d20=5] 03[21:04] * operator sets mode: -b *!*@sux-1D95054.hrbgpa.east.verizon.net 06[21:04] * Vanity runs across the sands to the rest, ignoring the building for now. "Ana! Ignatius! Alphonse!" she says as she advances with a laugh, before getting grave faced. "You look a little pale, alphonse." 03[21:04] * Nestor (TheBMW@sux-1D95054.hrbgpa.east.verizon.net) has joined #Beach 06[21:04] * DetectiveDoe looks at the other part of the group, taking Vanity's reaction to mean this was the rest of their party. She nods at them as she walks up to the other half of the group. 06[21:04] * Alphonse Smiles sheepishly, "I feel a little pale too." [21:04] "H-he was a-atacked by car-carvahnna. [21:04] <@operator> New people: There is a large, one-floor office building, wedged into a valley between rock plateaus. A sign in front of the building reads “Seaside Pharmaceuticals”. A nondescript van is parked outside. There are footprints everywhere, but no active life around. [21:05] "Hello. For those who don't know, I'm Detective Doe." She looks at Al. "You okay?" [21:05] "I ain't so good either." Ana sits on the floor while smiling back at Vanity. "Good that you guys made it here!" [21:06] "I could use a rest...maybe a visit to a nurse." Slightly ashamed. 06[21:06] * Nestor pulls out one of his cigars and deftly chops off an end, then starts to reach for his lighter while looking around for Tison. "Well, you're alive at least. Think you can still handle the raid?" [21:06] "Yeah." Vanity frowns a little. "The pokemon center's back the way we came." she says with a gesture. "Detective Doe, you're leading this operation. Could my associates get patched up before joining us?" [21:07] "No reason to waste everyone's time....I could go alone..." [21:07] "Oh you did make it." 06[21:07] * DetectiveDoe Doe looks to Al and then looks around. 06[21:07] * Tison shurgs nonchalantly at Nestor. "Sup?" [21:08] "You won't go alone!" She holds his hand firmly. [21:08] "I'm...not sure we have time. Something's wrong here. Can you hold out?" [21:08] "Not when i am here with you." [21:08] A small grin forms on Nestor's face. "Asshole sailors, burning clothes, just the usual." The golden lighter is retrieved and the cigar is lit, letting out a small drag of smoke. 06[21:08] * Benjamin approaches Al. "Are you tired? I have a can of iced coffee, if you need it..." [21:08] "I can try, ma'am" Attempts a tough look," [21:08] "Coffee never hurt." 06[21:08] * Ignatius looks to see if the Sailor followed them. 06[21:08] * Benjamin gives Alphonse his coffee. 06[21:09] * Tison glances at Benjamin and then smirks at Nestor. "I had to deal with the wonder twins over there and the timid one." [21:09] <@operator> Ignatius, that sailor hightailed it long ago [21:09] "Good idea, Benjamin!" Vanity says, digging through her supplies as well. "Ana, I've got some of that, too. If you're sticking around, you're gonna need the caffeine, looks like." 06[21:09] * Alphonse drinks the coffee with a clear lack of manners. 06[21:09] * DetectiveDoe She sighs. "If you have anything for him, you should give it to him. But there...should be people here. This isn't right." 06[21:09] * Vanity offers Ana a can of Staryubucks strawberry-mocha coffee. 06[21:10] * Vanity quirks her head. "Yeah... where are all your officers, Doe?" 06[21:10] * Nestor eyes Alphonse and Ana curiously, still trying to make heads of what the hell happened with them. "I'll ask some other time. Detective, any idea how we're going to do this?" 06[21:10] * Benjamin looks over to Doe after she makes her comment. He has a baaaaaad feeling about this. [21:10] "Guess so." She grabs the coffee cup with her bloodied hand. "We got no backup?" [21:11] 1d6+5 coffee heal [21:11] Alphonse, coffee heal: 9 [1d6=4] 06[21:11] * Raphael cannot into offering coffee for the wounded since a certain fatass raccoon guzzled it all down a week ago... He simply eyes the sandy grounds, and... 01[21:11] 1d20+2 Footprints? [21:11] Raphael, Footprints?: 8 [1d20=6] [21:11] 1d6+5 bluf [21:11] "They're not my officers. I was on loan since I was in the area. Which one of you is Tison?" [21:11] Ana, bluf: 7 [1d6=2] [21:11] <@operator> Raphael, footprints lead back and forth from the van into the building 06[21:11] * Nestor points over to his brother. "Him." 06[21:11] * Ignatius looks at Vanity and nods his head toward the building, "S-S-should I?" 06[21:12] * Tison looks at Detective Doe. "What is it Ma'am?" [21:12] "Not just yet, Ignatius." Vanity holds up a finger. "But I think we should all release some pokemon before we do anything else, and check out that van." 06[21:13] * Ignatius looks at Bella and Lya, still in their respective resting places. 01[21:13] "Footprints seem to be stemming from both directions..." [21:13] "Alright. I don't know why everyone is gone. Our interview-" She looks from Tison to Nestor, "Will have to wait until we get this under wraps. Can I count on your help here?" [21:13] "I-It c-c-could be t-trapped." [21:13] "Sure." [21:13] "I can vouch for Nestor." Vanity says, "He's been good help thus far." she gives him a little smile. [21:14] "Always." 06[21:14] * Benjamin reaches for his belt. Without even thinking about it, he goes straight for Dub's pokeball and releases the squirtle onto the sand. He squats down to talk to the pokemon quietly while the group carries on. "We have some work to do. I need you to be brave today. I will watch your back, though." He places his hand on the turtle's skull as he speaks. [21:14] "There are some car tracks too." She points at the ones that she followed until here. [21:14] <@operator> Dub looks nervous, but nods nonetheless [21:14] "Might sound like an odd question, but do you have any spare weapons, if this goes to hell? A knife or a gun, maybe?" 06[21:15] * Alphonse turns to Vogue, "Please come down here, land on my head and relax a little while. We need you down here." [21:15] "I think there might be people wanting to cover up the evidences or somethin'. And yeah, a weapon could work well here, i don't think i can punch shit well with my hands on this shape." 06[21:15] * Benjamin is nervous too. He says nothing else and just sits there with his partner. [21:15] <@operator> Vogue flapflapflaps down onto Al's head [21:15] "Car tracks? Probably something of ours, but they might have left some information in there." [21:15] "It should also have weapons- we should take a look." [21:16] <@operator> There is a nondescript van nearby 06[21:16] * Tison walks over to the van and checks it outt [21:16] "Really? That van is yours?" She points at it. 06[21:16] * Vanity keeps an eye on the entrance as she approaches the van. "Capone, get ready." she tells him. [21:17] <@operator> It's old looking, with primer coating peering out from a thin white 06[21:17] * Nestor joins Tison in checking out the van, letting out another drag of his cigar along the way. 06[21:17] * Alphonse keeps two people between him and the van. 06[21:17] * Vanity keeps her distance from the van, letting the rest check it out first. She has no idea whose van it is. [21:17] "Dionysus, are you a lover, or a fighter? I won't force you to do this if you don't want to." 06[21:17] * Tison sends out Dubstep 06[21:17] * Benjamin coils his rope up in a way that he can wear it over his shoulder and hanging against his body. [21:18] <@operator> Dionysus stumbles around, finally leaning on your leg [21:18] "Not mine- the city's. But yeah, that looks like one of theirs." [21:18] "I-I.." 06[21:18] * Ignatius looks like he is torn.... 06[21:18] * Vanity approaches Alphonse as the rest loot. She sets her heavy backpack down and whips out a plastic bottle, looking at him. "Your wound, has it been treated, yet?" [21:18] <@operator> Dubstep comes out of his pokeball, dropping phat beats where everyone around can enjoy them 06[21:19] * Ana sends out Kidd, who snarls a bit, yapping around. "Calm down, you'll get to eat some meat in a few, lil' one. Especially if we find something hostile, eh?" 06[21:19] * Ignatius wants to open is psychically to save people from danger, but can't without breaking the code. [21:19] *to open the door [21:19] "We've used a potion...and I used some old medical tricks I learned..." 06[21:19] * Benjamin reaches into his bag, pulling out a pair of sunglasses that the psychic had given him earlier. He nudges Ignatius, and then holds out the sunglasses to him. 06[21:19] * Nestor looks down at the poor Snivy, smiling. "Too hungover to care?" 06[21:19] * Ignatius nervously accepts the sunglasses. [21:19] "Let me see it. I'm no professional, here, but this'll keep it from getting infected." She holds up the bottle. It reads, "Everstoned." [21:20] <@operator> Dion burps [21:20] "It is going to hurt like you wouldn't believe, though." 06[21:20] * Ignatius puts them on and calms down greatly. 06[21:20] * Ignatius and visibly. 06[21:20] * Alphonse eyes widen, "uhhh?" [21:20] "Right. Just stay behind me then, no need to put yourself in the line of fire." 06[21:20] * DetectiveDoe Doe tries the door to the van. It's locked. "Damn." [21:20] "Break the window?" [21:21] "Vanity." Ana looks at the 'Nite, staring at her with a serious face. "Any news of Christina?" [21:21] "Basically, Alphonse, this is very, very hard liquor. It's only going to take a little bit, but it's going to burn..." she trails off, looking to Ana, shaking her head. "The signal blockade is keeping my iPoke from working. She hasn't shown, yet." [21:22] "Normally, I'd say no...unless any of you are good with locks?" [21:22] "Oh no, I was gonna break it open." 06[21:22] * Benjamin approaches the van as well. He looks over at Ignatius. "Ignatius.. Maybe you could... do something about the locks?" 06[21:22] * Alphonse losses most emotion from his face... "Do it." 06[21:23] * Vanity looks at him, breaking the seal on the cap and taking the dressing off of his wound temporarily. "Grab ahold of something." [21:23] "If I can't see them..." [21:23] "...Shoulda have known so. Also i think i should go to a pharmacy... Is there one on the Pokémon Center?" 06[21:23] * Alphonse bites his Tie, grips his bag. 06[21:23] * Benjamin peers into the Van window, trying to see if he can visibly see a lock across the interior of the Van and on the other door. [21:24] 1d20 WIS, Unless the windows are tinted. [21:24] Benjamin, WIS, Unless the windows are tinted.: 5 [1d20=5] [21:24] "Not that I noticed, Ana." And with that, she pours a few mouthfuls of the incredibly strong beverage into the wound. [21:24] 1d20-1 be a man [21:24] Alphonse, be a man: 3 [1d20=4] 06[21:24] * Alphonse cringes as tears pour. [21:24] <@operator> Ben, the windows are tinted, but not greatly so [21:25] <@operator> You can kind of see a lock on the other side [21:25] "Ignatius. I think that's the lock. Can you do something about that one in there, across the seats?" [21:25] "A-ah i see..." She looks to the side, visibly flustered. "...Tison said i could... No, i don't think so..." [21:25] "It should be on the outside of the car door, next to the handle to open it." 06[21:25] * Vanity does the best she can to re dress the wound with her dry, clean handkerchief, blotting it and tying it tight around his shoulder, remaining silent as she puts the cap back on tight and places the bottle back in her belongings. 06[21:26] * Ignatius looks where Ben is pointing. 06[21:26] * Ignatius attempts to undo the lock. 06[21:26] * Ignatius with his mind! [21:26] "What do ya see?" Tison says to Benji 06[21:27] * Nestor idly puffs on his cigar, watching the stooges at work. [21:27] <@operator> 1d4 [21:27] operator, 1d4: 3 [1d4=3] 06[21:27] * Alphonse tries to clean his face before walking over to Ana. [21:27] <@operator> Al regains 3 HP [21:27] <@operator> and the wound is sanitized [21:27] <@operator> Roll it, Ignatius 06[21:27] * Benjamin steps aside while Ignatius looks in the window. "The lock on the other side." He walks around to the other side of the Van while Ignatius does his thing. [21:27] 1d20+3 +3 and additional 3 if you include both CON and INT [21:27] Ignatius, +3 and additional 3 if you include both CON and INT: 14 [1d20=11] [21:28] "Hey Al..." [21:28] <@operator> CLICK [21:28] "Try that door. I think its unlocked." 06[21:28] * Benjamin takes hold of the handle on the otherside of the van that has been unlocked. He pauses for a moment, and then opens the door. [21:28] "Hey..." uses her as a lean too. more emotionally hurt than anything else. [21:29] "Great! Let's see what they have in here..." 06[21:29] * Ana hugs him. "Don't worry. Don't worry." [21:29] <@operator> Doe opens the back doors of the van. [21:30] "I'm still here with you, and i won't ever leave." 06[21:30] * Tison walks behind Doe and peeks 06[21:30] * DetectiveDoe Doe looks into the van and whistles. "I guess the LN chipped in here." [21:30] <@operator> Inside the van is all kind of shiny new toys 06[21:30] * Benjamin looks for anything of note in the driver and passenger part of the van. [21:30] 1d20 WIS [21:30] Benjamin, WIS: 8 [1d20=8] 06[21:30] * Vanity , hearing Detective Doe's whistling, goes to check out the booty. And also the loot. 06[21:30] * Benjamin sees what she did there. 06[21:30] * Alphonse smiles slightly, "Thank you..." [21:31] <@operator> Equipment the same color as LN soldiers line the walls of the van, along with surveilance equipment 06[21:31] * Ignatius looks in there as well. 06[21:32] * Vanity tugs on Ignatius' jacket lightly from behind him, jerking her head in the direction of the front of the van when she has his attention. [21:32] (Unified) "Hey, later tonight..." She whispers in his ear. "I'll try to make it up for having you worried about me earlier." 06[21:32] * Nestor grins at everyone's reaction, but stays on the sidelines for now. Kids in a toystore will be kids. 06[21:33] * Tison eyes the new toys 06[21:33] * Ignatius looks, and takes that as a hint to see if he can pick anything up with psychic probing. 06[21:33] * Alphonse smiles sheepishly (Unified) "Okay? Let's see what everyone is so excited about." 06[21:33] * Alphonse wanders to the van. [21:33] As vanity notices Ignatius NOT walking to the front of the van, she tugs at him again, then walks that direction. [21:33] 1d20+3 Psychic Probing the building (even inanimate objects aren't safe!) [21:33] Ignatius, Psychic Probing the building (even inanimate objects aren't safe!): 12 [1d20=9] [21:34] She then lifts up and approaches the Van with the others. "Oooh, good LN shit right there." She starts looking around for body armor and weaponry. 06[21:34] * Ignatius follows and then does the probe. [21:34] <@operator> Between all of your searching, you find the following... [21:34] <@operator> x2 LN Riot Masks (+5 HP damage reduction, -3 to Perception Checks) [21:35] <@operator> x1 LN Peacekeeper (Nightsticks with Electric typing, must have Blunt proficiency) [21:35] <@operator> x2 LN Short Range Communicators (Unaffected by signal dampeners) [21:35] <@operator> And ... [21:35] <@operator> A recent audio recording 06[21:35] * DetectiveDoe eyes the audio recording. "This might be helpful." [21:36] And as Ignatius does his thing, Vanity goes through her stuff, listening in on the conversation. She gets Ignatius' attention again, then taps her head with a wink. "Do it." [21:36] <@operator> (Sorry, Blunt USER for the peacekeeper) 06[21:36] * Ignatius is already doing it. 06[21:36] * Ana takes one of the Riot masks and puts it on. "Allright! That looks really badass, right, Al?" [21:36] <@operator> Ignatius finds... [21:36] <@operator> Nothing of value [21:36] <@operator> Nothing pings back to him [21:37] "No. No. Me." She says again, retrieving two bottles from her bag. 06[21:37] * Benjamin hops out of the driver's seat of the van. He watches the others take the equipment. [21:37] ~I am not getting anything, but that doesn't mean there is no one there." [21:37] "So you want anything outta here?" [21:37] ~ [21:37] "It looks like you would be blind in it....But Some protection would be nice." [21:38] Wordlessly, Vanity offers the two large glass flasks to Ignatius. [21:38] "You just point me and i'll go there." 06[21:38] * Ignatius looks at them and understands. 06[21:39] * Tison nudges Nestor. "You see anything?" 06[21:39] * Benjamin walks away from the Van, approaching the building. 06[21:39] * Nestor walks on over and glances through the van. "Wasn't paying attention, everyone's been crowding it up." [21:39] "Hey. One of you with the iPokes. Use it to listen to that audio recording." 06[21:39] * Ignatius picks up one of the short range communicators. 06[21:39] * Vanity closes up her things, much less burdened, now, having handed Ignatius some booze. "On it." Vanity declares, her iPoke already out. [21:40] She grabs the recording, syncs it up, and hits play. [21:40] <@operator> Vanity's iPokes receives the message. Apparently Near Field COmmunications aren't blocked by police signal dampeners [21:40] <@operator> A monotone, feminine voice can be heard. [21:41] <@operator> 10 Zaos 2, 198, 8:07 AM. Interim Seargent Reynolds of Dewford. We are ready to begin the operation at any moment. Outside assistance is offered from 2 LN soldiers and Detective Doe, on loan from HSD. Diplomats were supposed to send people, but no sign of them yet. LN seems unwilling to begin without their greenhuggers here, but they can’t hold us for long. [21:41] <@operator> 8:11 AM. LN Soldiers Fairchild and Doakes have return from setting up the signal dampener. We have been ordered to proceed. Commencing operation. [21:41] <@operator> 8:12 AM. The main lobby is empty, but the building has been shielded. We can’t pick up transmissions from outside the building. Will secure lobby as new point of transmission. 06[21:41] * Alphonse picks up one of the peacekeepers and pulls out his Pokey stick. "Vogue...can you connect these items so I have a long range shock stick?" Pantomimes actions. [21:42] "Greenhuggers?" [21:42] <@operator> Now you're just confusing the poor bug 06[21:42] * Benjamin moves closer to the van to hear the transmission. 06[21:42] * DetectiveDoe crosses her arms. "Well, that was disppointing. I was hoping it was something I wasn't already here for...looks like we'll have to go inside." 06[21:42] * Nestor grabs the two short-range communicators and turns them over in his hands, examining them curiously. "These should come in handy." 06[21:43] * Alphonse sighs, not enough blood to think clearly, "I guess I could use this for self defense." 06[21:43] * Tison looks at Nestor. "You want those?" 06[21:43] * Ignatius thinks ...another reason to dislike the LN...racism. 06[21:44] * Vanity snags the communicator that Ignatius hasn't already grabbed from Nestor. "Yeah. If we have to split up, each team is going to need one. Since Ignatius has one, and he's the major fire presence, I'll take the other. [21:44] " [21:44] "If we split up, we should make sure we can maintain type advantages, so at least one grass, one water, and one fire type in each group. [21:44] " [21:45] "I'm with Ana..." scoots over to her. 06[21:45] * Nestor looks a little displeased that nobody even asked before ripping the damn things away, but then he nods. "Good idea. But we can debate that along the way, every second wasted out here is another those bastards get to run and hide." [21:45] "Hey don't ya get on the front lines, Al..." She grabs him with caution. [21:45] "... He's the major what? Are you saying he's more important than ME?" 06[21:45] * Tison gestures [21:46] "Tison, no offense, but Charner is a little less than effectual. You'll be with me. Between the two of us, we can equal Ignatius' Quilava. [21:46] " [21:46] "But Nestor's right. The day isn't getting any younger." [21:47] "Then let's get moving. Detective?" 06[21:47] * Tison grunts. "Whatever." 06[21:47] * DetectiveDoe nods. "Yeah. Let's head inside." [21:48] "Oh, hush. If it'll make you feel any better, I've had this in my purse for a while. Here." She tosses Tison a green Apricorn. [21:48] "I'll be protecting you, so no need to use that thing, okay?" She smiles at Al while heading inside the place. [21:48] "Okay...But I need it to watch your back." Smiels. [21:49] <@operator> Everyone going inside, join #SeasideLobby 06[21:49] * Tison takes it and pockets it 06[21:49] * Benjamin heads inside. [21:49] "...An apricorn. He talks about being a major fire, and you give him... nevermind." Nestor quickly rushes inside, hopefully with the others joining him. 06[21:49] * Tison sticks with Vanity for NOW 03[21:49] * Benjamin (Tortles@sux-181DE3D5.hsd1.ma.comcast.net) has left #Beach [21:49] "He was blithering about them earlier." she tells Nestor, joining the gang. 03[21:50] * Ana (Plutonis@D14B5597.ED3341B1.B65C4779.IP) has left #Beach 03[21:50] * Alphonse (Bakoren@F380AF5.6753543E.8414498F.IP) has left #Beach Session Close: Tue Jan 31 21:50:43 2012 Session Start: Tue Jan 31 21:50:42 2012 Session Ident: #SeasideLobby 03[21:50] * Now talking in #SeasideLobby 03[21:50] * Tison (Gents@sux-DD244A0.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) has joined #SeasideLobby [21:50] 1d20+2 cautiously looking about [21:51] (derp no DM here) 03[21:51] * DiceMaid-9001 (DiceMaid-9@sux-EADD5C74) has joined #SeasideLobby [21:51] 1d20-3 welp time to check inside with this shitty helmet [21:51] Ana, welp time to check inside with this shitty helmet: 11 [1d20=14] 06[21:51] * Benjamin sticks close to Vanity, as usual. [21:51] 1d20+2 cautious looking part two [21:51] Alphonse, cautious looking part two: 8 [1d20=6] [21:51] 1d20-2 welp time to check inside with these shitty glasses [21:51] Nestor, welp time to check inside with these shitty glasses: 16 [1d20=18] [21:51] 1d20-2 Time to check with my bad eyes [21:51] Tison, Time to check with my bad eyes: 4 [1d20=6] [21:51] 1d20+2 Parental Supervision! [21:51] Vanity, Parental Supervision!: 8 [1d20=6] [21:52] 1d20 Can my eyes tell me anything? [21:52] Ignatius, Can my eyes tell me anything?: 14 [1d20=14] [21:52] <@operator> Upon entering the lobby, you find a suprisingly posh interior for a medical research lab. 01[21:52] 1d20+2 Ohright [21:52] Raphael, Ohright: 13 [1d20=11] [21:53] <@operator> The decor of the lobby is very expensive and lavish looking [21:53] <@operator> A fountain of a strange Pokemon sprays water into the air near the door. [21:54] 1d20+2 int check [21:54] Alphonse, int check: 8 [1d20=6] 06[21:54] * DetectiveDoe looks around, taking everything in carefully. 06[21:54] * Vanity peers at the pokemon very closely. Whatever it is, it's not Slateport, that's for damn sure. 06[21:55] * Benjamin keeps his... Throwing rocks handy. He fiddles with one in between his fingers. [21:55] <@operator> One thing is for sure. You don't see any people around [21:55] 1d20+2 checking out the fountain for switches, etc. [21:55] Vanity, checking out the fountain for switches, etc.: 19 [1d20=17] 06[21:56] * Nestor looks around the room for exits. "Any idea where they might have gone?" [21:56] <@operator> You indeed find a switch 06[21:56] * Alphonse stays toward the rear, keeping plenty of human shields to the foreground. 06[21:56] * Vanity flicks the damn switch. [21:56] <@operator> The water shuts off [21:56] <@operator> Meanwhile [21:56] <@operator> Tropical plants sit in pots placed around the room. Heavy, sandy footprints are all over the floor. In the corner is a pile of heavy police surveillance equipment, wheeled in on dollies. 06[21:56] * Ana stays close with Alphonse, ready to protect him of anything! 06[21:56] * Benjamin inspects the footprints. [21:56] 1d20 WISspection [21:56] Benjamin, WISspection: 10 [1d20=10] 06[21:57] * DetectiveDoe Doe's attention goes to the dollies. "Let's see if we can find another log here." 06[21:57] * Tison keeps his voice down and follows after Detective Doe 06[21:57] * Vanity tells Capone to keep ready quietly, despite this place being seemingly deserted. [21:57] "Why is it so quiet in here.." Shivers slightly. [21:58] "I thought this place was a laboratory?" 06[21:58] * Nestor joins Doe and Tison, examining the police surveillance equipment. [21:58] "Anything?" [21:58] <@operator> Ben finds another audio log 03[21:58] * DiceMaid-9001 is now known as Jessie [21:59] <@operator> 10 8:17 AM. We have set up communications within Seaside’s main lobby. Detective Doe has excused herself from the operation, offering no explanation. [21:59] <@operator> 10 There are no targets identified thus far. Filing cabinets have been moved, very recently. They knew we were coming. [21:59] <@operator> 10 8:19 AM. We’ve found a secret door, leading downstairs. The size of the underground room in unknown. It is shielded from wireless communications as well. Commencing setting up a new communications post downstairs. 06[21:59] * Benjamin "Another audio log." He sets it up for his iPoke similarly to the way Vanity did and plays it. [21:59] "What do they mean by you exusing yourself, detective?" 06[22:00] * Alphonse 's coffee is starting to kick in. [22:00] "To find us most likely. We should keep moving, we can't be far behind." 06[22:01] * Benjamin checks the current time on his iPoke. [22:01] "Yes we can. This happened over an hour and a half ago. [22:01] " [22:01] "I left when I heard about the ship. I'm on loan here because I was in the area per my investigation. My case is top priority- I needed to know the list of survivors." [22:01] "Eh?" She turns to Doe, a sudden instinctive jolt surging inside her. "Al, get back here." 06[22:02] * Alphonse walks back to her, renewed youth and vigour thanks to magical coffee. [22:02] <@operator> Benjamin, it is not 9:33 AM [22:02] <@operator> *now [22:02] "Vanity's right. It's been an hour. We should keep moving." [22:02] "Well, unless you think they died or got lost, I doubt they went that far in." [22:02] "Right then." [22:03] "OFf to find secret doors, then?" 02[22:04] * Ana (Plutonis@D14B5597.ED3341B1.B65C4779.IP) Quit (Ping timeout) [22:04] "Detective Doe... something's been bothering me..." Vanity starts. "These logs mention a very small force, it seems, but this town seemed deserted when we got here. Does EVERYONE on this island work for this company?" [22:06] "I was wondering about that too." [22:07] "Not really. The employees here lived in dorms and didn't really interact with the outside town. Foreginers, mostly, and the current climate isn't friendly to outsiders. And while the police force is small, so is this town." [22:07] "Right, so... where IS the secret door?" [22:08] "That would be a big help, shit do we have to look for it?" [22:08] 1d20+2 Vanity immediately begins looking for doors of the obfuscated variety, or triggers, or even just paths that lead downstairs. "If that's the case, we should move. I'd hate to think of this island's population dropping to zero like so many territories, lately, because of this incident." [22:08] Vanity, Vanity immediately begins looking for doors of the obfuscated variety, or triggers, or even just paths that lead downstairs. "If that's the case, we should move. I'd hate to think of this island's population dropping to zero like so many territories, lately, because of this incident.": 18 [1d20=16] [22:09] <@operator> Vanity searches the hell out of this big room 03[22:09] * Duodenum (Trickyicky@sux-32DABF78.wichitaonline.net) has joined #SeasideLobby [22:10] <@operator> Vanity finds a long hallway with heavy, sandy footprints scattered around it [22:11] <@operator> It's probably close [22:11] <@operator> But wait [22:11] <@operator> Someone is walking through the front door [22:11] 1d20 Do I notice it? [22:11] Ignatius, Do I notice it?: 8 [1d20=8] [22:11] <@operator> Sure, why not [22:11] <@operator> Ignatius recognizes the look quite well 06[22:12] * Benjamin turns to look at the front door. [22:12] <@operator> It's an LN soldier 06[22:12] * Vanity begins to indicate the hallway, turning around but waits as she spies someone walking through the front door. "Guys, I think I... um... who are you?" [22:12] "Identify yourself." 06[22:12] * Tison looks at the soldier [22:13] "Gregson, ma'am. Meant to be her earlier but we ran into some... Problems. I'm all the reinforcement your getting today." 06[22:13] * Alphonse gets behind Ana. 06[22:13] * Duodenum salutes. 06[22:13] * Nestor turns towards the newcomer, but remains silent, just observing for the time-being. 06[22:14] * Benjamin begins to follow the trail of footprints slowly. [22:14] "We?" [22:15] Me is somewhat suspicious of the new arrival, but again motions towards the hall. "It looks like the tracks head this direction, Detective Doe." [22:15] "Two of us were sent to back you up but like i said. Problems." [22:15] Vanity is also all of the things I just typed. [22:16] "No time to wait then, we need to get moving before it's too late." With that, Nestor turns towards Vanity and gives a nod, showing he's ready to go. 06[22:16] * DetectiveDoe pauses, taking in what he said. "...We need all hands on deck. We don't know what's happened to the rest of the raid. Can I count on you, Gregson?" 06[22:17] * Vanity lags, tapping Capone gently with the backs of her knuckles. She bends low as Detective Doe and he converse, and whispers to the creature, "Watch that man, Capone." 06[22:17] * Ignatius walks slower behind the ln cop. Not trusting him. [22:17] "Yes, ma'am!" He snaps to attention and rustles in his pack. He withdraws a nightstick in his left hand. 06[22:18] * Alphonse keeps near Ana as they walk down the hall. 06[22:18] * Benjamin isn't sure about this new guy either, but he is more focused on the hallway and the trail of sand. 06[22:18] * Ignatius peeks into Duodenum's mind to see if he is thinking up some dirty tricks. [22:18] <@operator> You all find a heavy iron door, somewhat out of place in the hall 06[22:18] * Vanity stays a bit behind Benjamin as he blazes the trail with Alphonse and Ana. [22:18] 1d20+3 Stranger danger? [22:18] Ignatius, Stranger danger?: 20 [1d20=17] 06[22:18] * Benjamin tries to open said door. [22:19] 1d20+2 [22:19] Duodenum, 1d20+2: 4 [1d20=2] 06[22:19] * Tison calls forth Dubstep onward and follows 06[22:20] * DetectiveDoe stays near the back of the group, observing everything she can. [22:20] <@operator> Benjamin opens the door with a rusty creak 06[22:21] * Vanity braces for impact, hiding behind the mountain man a little. [22:21] 1d20+2 look deep into the room [22:21] Alphonse, look deep into the room: 20 [1d20=18] 06[22:22] * Duodenum scans the room for approprite cover, kill zones, and hidey holes. [22:22] "Hmmmrrrmmm." 06[22:23] * Ignatius thinks towards Vanity. [22:23] <@operator> Alphonse, you see a long staircase going down into a dark room [22:23] ((In the pm, Ignatius.)) [22:23] <@operator> You also see a big piles of computers, hastily thrown down there [22:23] "It's a basement. It goes far down....full of old tech." [22:23] "Well, does it look safe?" [22:23] "We could use some light down there, Coal." [22:24] "Safe as any other stairs...I guess." He is slightly embarrassed. 06[22:24] * Ignatius stops thinking at vanity. [22:24] "Um..." [22:25] "Quilava can show us the way, right?" [22:25] <@operator> Once someone is brave enough to go down the steps, they can join #Underground. 06[22:25] * Ignatius looks around and counts 4 people who aren't part of the code. 06[22:25] * Vanity nudges Ignatius. [22:25] * inducted into the code. 06[22:25] * Ignatius resumes recieving from vanity. [22:25] "You want to go down now?" 06[22:25] * Nestor walks on over to the staircase, looking down. "Well, what are we waiting for?" [22:26] "The ability to see." [22:26] "Hmm, right. Doubt a lighter would cut it." 06[22:26] * Vanity just huffs. "All right, you damn babies. Here we go." [22:26] "Ma'am, I'd suggest setting up with the civilians behind these desks while I scout ahead." 06[22:27] * Duodenum fishes a flashlight from his pack. [22:27] She releases Charlemagne and directs him ahead of her. "Detective Doe, I respectfully request to go along with Duodenum. He'll need our support." [22:27] <> 06[22:27] * Tison sends out Charner. "Likewise, I'm going." [22:27] "They're not civilians. Well, two are, but they are under my watch and, if they're cleared, they'll be Diplomats. This was part of their mission. You may lead, but we need to see what's down there." [22:27] Gregson. 06[22:28] * Benjamin follows behind Charlemagne. He makes no formal requests. [22:28] "And so am I. I didn't cross a goddamn ocean and deal with a sinking ship just to sit around and let everyone else do the work." [22:28] <@operator> So. Join #Underground, if you're going [22:29] He looks at the lot of them with disdain. "I supose. Fine. Keep your hands to yourselves and try not to catch any bullets with yourself." 06[22:29] * Benjamin keeps Dub close behind. He speaks quietly as he walks. "If you need to shoot water, make sure not to hit Charlemagne." 06[22:29] * Ignatius ceases recieving from vanity. 03[22:29] * Benjamin (Tortles@sux-181DE3D5.hsd1.ma.comcast.net) has left #SeasideLobby 06[22:29] * Nestor pulls out his lighter and ignites it, slowly heading down the stairway. 03[22:29] * Nestor (TheBMW@sux-1D95054.hrbgpa.east.verizon.net) has left #SeasideLobby 03[22:29] * Duodenum (Trickyicky@sux-32DABF78.wichitaonline.net) has left #SeasideLobby 06[22:29] * Tison heads down 03[22:29] * Tison (Gents@sux-DD244A0.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) has left #SeasideLobby 06[22:30] * DetectiveDoe motions downward. "I'll bring up the rear. Who else is going?" 06[22:30] * Vanity Goes! [22:30] "I'll be right behind you," 03[22:30] * Vanity (Vanity@sux-57FC671C.hot.res.rr.com) has left #SeasideLobby 06[22:30] * Alphonse raises his hand behind Ana, "We could..." 03[22:30] * Ignatius (Webmetz@sux-3663951C.hsd1.ga.comcast.net) has left #SeasideLobby (Leaving) 06[22:30] * Raphael readies to follow. "It's not as if there's any other alternative present, is there?" [22:35] "Not much else we can do." 06[22:35] * Alphonse pushes his partner in using one of the dollies in the lobby. [22:35] <@operator> I'm okay with this 06[22:35] * DetectiveDoe follows the last three in. 06[22:36] * Raphael follows down in the pursuit; matches are made use of for extra illumination, and mystery blade is at the ready! Session Close: Tue Jan 31 22:36:36 2012 Session Start: Tue Jan 31 22:36:32 2012 Session Ident: #Underground 03[22:36] * Now talking in #Underground 06[22:36] * Alphonse looks the mons over closely [22:37] He creeps down the stairs and slowly crosses the room while staying away from teh blue monsters. [22:37] "Never was the best with computers... if you have any idea where data might be at on these things, just shout." 06[22:37] * DetectiveDoe comes down the stairs and looks around. Her eyes stop at the window. "...What?" 06[22:37] * Raphael makes his way over to the adorable, looking over towards them. 06[22:37] * Benjamin abandons the computers and heads toward the window. 06[22:37] * Tison nudges Benjamin lightly. "They mimic you" [22:37] <@operator> Vanity scans them. [22:37] <@operator> After a moment, the scan returns. [22:38] <@operator> Marill. 06[22:38] * Benjamin looks to Tison, then to the pokemon. He tilts his head to the side. 06[22:38] * Gregson whispers sharply to Raph, "Don't let them bite you. The medic got left behind." [22:38] Any info on status? [22:38] "Water types from Jotho...very adorable." [22:38] <@operator> Statused. [22:38] <@operator> ??? [22:38] Johto >.> [22:39] <@operator> Some of the marill in the room try to get your attention by waving at you [22:39] "Should we liberate?" [22:39] <@operator> The others play with each other, shooting water bubbles across the room [22:39] "Bella, can you pick up anything from them? Have they been hurt or mistreated?" 01[22:39] "And what exactly is that supposed to mean?" 06[22:39] * Alphonse Wave back, mesmerized. "They need a clear path outside first...." [22:39] "No." Vanity says shortly. "Not yet. Guys. Scan all of them." 06[22:39] * Benjamin scans the 2nd one. [22:40] "You kids got a fancy way to secure them? i don't want to leave them at our backs." 06[22:40] * Alphonse helps scan, using his left hand to hold the Ipoke. [22:40] "There's an unknown status condition on this one." she indicates the one she scanned. "Reminds me of the Munna incident." [22:40] "I can catch one?" 01[22:40] iPoke at the ready, Raph joins in the scanning party. [22:40] "Are your iPokes picking up anything on them?" 06[22:40] * Nestor can't scan shit, so he just keeps digging at the computer pile. [22:40] "We can use our tranq balls, but we don't know how many more we're going to find.. Should we wait to see if we encounter anything more.. Dangerous?" [22:40] <@operator> All of you scanning, find them all to have the ??? status condition [22:41] "They've been here for a long time, but they feel happy though." [22:41] "Mystery status on this one, too." [22:41] "That's odd." 01[22:41] "There seems to be an unknown status afflicted upon them." [22:41] 1d20-2 won't bother to roll again after this one [22:41] Nestor, won't bother to roll again after this one: 3 [1d20=5] [22:41] <@operator> Nestor, you find an audio log, but you'll have to pry it out very carefully [22:41] <@operator> And that's not how you do it 06[22:41] * Vanity joins Nestor at the pile of junk. "Find anything?" [22:42] "Something, but it's pretty wedged in there..." Nestor points to the audio log, assuming it isn't damaged. [22:42] "We can come back for these." [22:43] "I've got a hundred marks to each of your ten." Vanity says as she looks at the audio log, giving it a little jiggle, "That these guys have already experimented on." [22:43] "Okay." [22:43] G looks around and notices Al's bloodiness. "Shit, kid, what did I miss? I ain't a doctor but I got a medkit." [22:43] "How could a pokemon be happy about being kept in a cage? Even one made of glass." [22:43] "what? Oh...thanks....Soldier?" 06[22:43] * Alphonse does a poor imitation of the LN salute. [22:43] "I feel a little bad for them, but we need to get a move on." [22:43] "Benjamin, c'mere." she calls to him. "This things stuck tight. You're a nimble guy. Get it out." 06[22:43] * Benjamin looks at Ignatius. "How can they be happy kept in pokeballs, with that logic?" [22:43] *dextrous 06[22:44] * Benjamin heads over toward the computers. He looks at what she's talking about and tries to get it out. [22:44] 1d20+3 DEX if that's what we're doin here. [22:44] Benjamin, DEX if that's what we're doin here.: 9 [1d20=6] 06[22:44] * Tison walks after Benjamin [22:44] <@operator> Pthththth [22:44] "chill out kid. I'm noncom. C'mere." He starts working the various people medicines into Al. [22:44] <@operator> The log is damaged a bit [22:45] "..." [22:45] "They don't seem to be going anywhere. The people are our top priority right now." [22:45] <@operator> But still partly salvageable 06[22:45] * Benjamin plays what he can, from it. 06[22:45] * Raphael shines his lights around the area to see if anything else comes up with further illumination. [22:45] "Pokeballs are different. I think there is some sort of stasis, so being in the balls is a different sort of experience...or something like that." [22:45] <@operator> 10 8:23 AM. We have set up communications inside the underground extension. This place... this isn’t some basement where they keep cleaning supplies. This has got to be their real laboratory. There’s a viewing window into a bare room... wait, there’s something in the room. It’s... Marill? Multiple Marill. They don’t seem to be hurt. Wait, now there’s another mon in the room [22:45] <@operator> 10with them... it’s (Garbled, unintelligle) FIRE! OPEN FI-- (Garbled static). 06[22:46] * Benjamin gets goosebumps as he looks around the room. [22:46] 1d20 WIS OH GOD [22:46] Benjamin, WIS OH GOD: 2 [1d20=2] 06[22:46] * Benjamin quits the game. 06[22:46] * Ignatius assumes a defensive stance, worried about what the heck that could be. [22:46] 1d20 [22:46] Ignatius, 1d20: 2 [1d20=2] [22:46] 1d20+2 looks deep into the Marrill tank. [22:46] Alphonse, looks deep into the Marrill tank.: 3 [1d20=1] [22:46] <@operator> The hallways rumble ominously. 01[22:46] 1d20+2 Shedding some light on the situation [22:46] Raphael, Shedding some light on the situation: 7 [1d20=5] 06[22:47] * Tison looks around, a little concerned [22:47] 1d20-2 You guys come one [22:47] Tison, You guys come one: 13 [1d20=15] [22:47] <@operator> Somehow, the lights begin to dim [22:47] "On your guard..." 06[22:47] * Ignatius passively tries to undim them. [22:47] <@operator> The marill are no longer at the window [22:47] <@operator> Ignatius succeeds [22:47] <@operator> The lights grow in intensity a bit 06[22:47] * DetectiveDoe looks around, carefully atking everything in. "Stay close right now." 06[22:48] * Vanity takes a defensive stance, behind Ignatius, her styler at the ready. [22:48] "Uh... The ... They aren't there." 06[22:48] * Tison whistles to his Pokemon to move closer to him and gets in a defensive stance 06[22:48] * Alphonse jumps at the vacant container. Ana is still a good shield. 06[22:48] * Nestor takes a long drag of his cigar, giving a nod to Dionysus to be ready. [22:48] <@operator> Dionysus has his shot glass helmet on, ready for battle [22:49] "No bodies last I checked, but no bullet marks anywhere either. Something isn't right here." [22:49] <@operator> The hallway stops its rumble [22:49] "This isn't good, ma'am. We need to move on or-" [22:49] "Vogue...Please be ready." [22:49] <@operator> flapflapflap 06[22:49] * Vanity friggin' returns Charlemagne. "This might be too hot for you, ol' buddy. Leave it to us." [22:50] <@operator> Charlemagne looks sad as he is returned 06[22:50] * Ignatius recalls Cyrus as Vanity recalls Charlemagne [22:50] "...Did somebody let one of their birds loose?" [22:50] <@operator> (The flapping is from Al's butterfly) 06[22:50] * Tison recalls Charner and hangs with Dubstep [22:50] "Sorry cyrus, too close quarters for fire right now." [22:50] he looks up. "What's with the buggy?" [22:51] <@operator> With all the fire mons gone, the room gets much darker [22:51] "..." [22:51] <> 06[22:51] * Ignatius looks for those light switches again. 06[22:51] * Nestor still has his lighter out and ignited, but it's hardly doing much other than making his position obvious. [22:51] "I found her a few days into our expidition. The bravest bug I've met." pats Vogue on her head. [22:51] 1d20 Light switches [22:51] Ignatius, Light switches: 18 [1d20=18] 06[22:51] * Raphael takes a step back, towards the glass window, making a mental note to buy a lantern next time he gets to a store. Unless one would like to conjure itself from his Magical Bag of Holding. [22:51] <@operator> Ignatius, you find light switches [22:52] "We need to move or we'll be attacked. We shouldn't stay down here in the dark." 06[22:52] * Ignatius whispers at Vanity, 'should I hit the light switches?' [22:52] <@operator> Unfortunately, the switches do nothing [22:52] 'nevermind' [22:52] "Ma'am, i strongly sugest we move on and lock the door behind us." [22:52] <@operator> Someone or something cut the power [22:53] "The power is cut..." [22:53] "I agree." She turns to lock the door, so as to slow down anything coming from upstairs. "We need to move forward." 06[22:53] * Benjamin glares at Ignatius, pretty frustrated. "Gregson, lead the way with some light." 06[22:53] * Ignatius returns the glare with a thought. [22:54] <@operator> After traveling down the hallways for a bit [22:54] "Right. Shift it, folks." He heads inot the next hallway witht the flashlight. 06[22:54] * Tison follows after everyone 06[22:54] * Benjamin makes eye contact with Ignatius as he thinks. [22:55] <@operator> The halls they pass through also have windows into lit rooms 06[22:55] * Alphonse pushes Ana foward with great caution. [22:55] <@operator> The marill inside walk with you, seeming to cheer encouragements at you. 06[22:55] * Benjamin nods at Ignatius, and breaks his eye contact with him, focusing on moving forward. 06[22:55] * Alphonse waves at them adorable pokemon. [22:55] <@operator> The rooms must be connected together, as you're fairly certain it's the same marill from before 06[22:55] * Ignatius ceases the connection. [22:56] 1d20-3 observation [22:56] Gregson, observation: 11 [1d20=14] 06[22:56] * Tison looks at the Marill and blinks 06[22:56] * Vanity follows after the rest, getting a chill colder than a spheal's willy. 06[22:56] * Ignatius keeps the rear as they progress on. 06[22:57] * DetectiveDoe looks at the little Marill and continues on. [22:57] <@operator> The hallway abruptly forks 01[22:57] "... Is there any particular reason these Marill have seemingly taken an affinity towards us?" [22:57] "So... this is where we split?" [22:57] "Loneliness probably. If they were experimented on, I doubt they want anything to do with familiar faces." [22:57] "I almost feel it's better that we don't know, Raphael." Vanity says. This is just creepy. [22:58] "All Bella has told me is that they have been here for a long while and are happy." [22:58] "MArrill are cheerful and sweet creatures from my experience..." 06[22:58] * Benjamin glances at the Marill, then back at the fork. [22:58] "Split up." [22:58] "Should we split, ma'am?" [22:59] "Are we set up for 2 teams." [22:59] ?" [22:59] "Yes. If we have two groups, we'll be able to cover ground faster." [22:59] "Raise your hands if you're team alpha." [22:59] "We will be." Vanity thinks a moment. "Ana. Ignatius. Alphonse. Raphael. Gregson. Together." 06[22:59] * Benjamin looks at Vanity. 06[23:00] * @operator Also, we're probably going to call it a night here. 06[23:00] * Ignatius nods. 06[23:00] * Nestor nods approvingly. "Good idea. Tison and I should stay with Ms. Doe either way." 06[23:00] * Alphonse mumbles and goes forward "Okay, Miss MArin.." [23:00] "Yes." 03[23:00] * Jessie is now known as DiceMaid-9001 06[23:00] * Tison sticks with his bro and looks over at Benjamin 01[23:00] ". . ." Raph gives Vanity one of THOSE looks. The 'You've got to be shitting me' kinds of looks. But readies to follow along anyways. [23:01] "My thoughts exactly. Doe needs to see these two in action. Does anyone have any objections?" she says, noting Raphael's gaze. 06[23:01] * Benjamin looks at Tison, breaking his serious expression with a brief smile before focusing back on the task at hand 06[23:01] * Tison does one of those awkward smile backs [23:02] This interaction does not go unnoticed by Vanity. [23:02] Oh wait, yes it does. Natural one on the private roll. 06[23:02] * Vanity is so oblivious to their flirtiness. 06[23:03] * Nestor leans against the wall, throwing his cigar to the floor and stomping out its embers. "We should take a few moments to collect ourselves though. You guys look really on edge." 06[23:04] * Alphonse sits down with his absent minded guardian...playing with the butterfly on his head. 06[23:05] * Tison walks over and whispers a little to Nestor. "Aren't yu a little nervous with the Detective over there?" 06[23:05] * Ignatius thinks towards Vanity. 06[23:06] * Nestor gives a slightly confused look as he whispers back. "Soldiers have vanished and strange noises are coming from the hallways, and you think I'm worried about a detective?" 06[23:06] * Benjamin watches the marill while they rest, wondering what their deal is. [23:06] <@operator> The marill aren't really tired. They're imitating you all [23:07] <@operator> You can see them peeking out of one eye while they snore [23:07] "You have a good point... I might just be a little on edge." [23:08] "Just relax. This shit is hardly anything new for us. Just a little more ominous at first glance." 06[23:08] * Benjamin didn't type right. He meant that while the team rests, he watches the marill do what they do. 06[23:08] * Ignatius checks to see if the communicator works with Vanity's. 06[23:08] * Tison sighs and kind stares over at the Marill 06[23:09] * Alphonse pulls out a now water stained and crumpled letter. Begins to write more on it. 06[23:09] * Vanity also turns her communicator as she notices Ignatius fiddling with it. "What's the frequency on this thing? Hello? Can you hear me, Ignatius?" [23:10] "Well... obviously you can. But... can you... you know what I mean." 06[23:10] * Nestor idly taps the glass, checking to see how tough it may be. 06[23:10] * Ignatius checks to see if it is recieving signal. 06[23:11] * Benjamin approaches Tison as they both watch the pokemon. "We'll be good. Just watch out for each other." [23:11] 1d20-3 Sketch [23:11] Alphonse, Sketch: 17 [1d20=20] [23:12] "... Yeah, I'll watch your back if yuo watch mine." 06[23:12] * Benjamin nods. 06[23:12] * Alphonse folds the near perfect sketch of his pokemon and his friends into the same envelope with the paper. 06[23:12] * Tison nudges Benjamin just slighty, subtley 06[23:13] * Nestor shrugs, returning to his spot on the wall, obviously thinking of something. [23:14] "Wait, wait... I think we're... just hold on." Vanity fiddles with the dials, looking at Ignatius' closely. "Uh... How about now?" 06[23:14] * Ignatius checks. 06[23:14] * Benjamin pats Tison on the shoulder briefly. 06[23:15] * Tison is not enjoying all this stress 06[23:16] * Alphonse starts to look around at everyone. [23:16] <@operator> Vanity, Ignatius, your communicators work well enough [23:17] <@operator> Al, you're getting better at sketching, it seems [23:17] "Welcome to being a diplomat. It gets easier." [23:17] <@operator> Nestor, the glass is strong. 06[23:17] * Benjamin smirks a little bit at Tison. 06[23:19] * Tison is a bit less tense for some reason. "Just need to get this over with." [23:19] "When it's over, we'll get some time to cool off. Get some scotch." [23:20] "Waaaaay ahead of you, Benjamin." she says, overhearing his conversation because she is totally not eavesdropping at all. 06[23:20] * Nestor sighs as he slides down the wall, coming to a rest on the floor. [23:21] "Yeah some drinks would be okay..." Tison also eyes Vanity a bit 06[23:21] * Alphonse Al Notices the Nite sliding down. "Hey...umm....Solon?" 06[23:22] * Benjamin smiles at Vanity. He's pretty nervous himself. He keeps to himself for the rest of the break, watching the marill and keeping himself focused. 03[23:22] * Benjamin (Tortles@sux-181DE3D5.hsd1.ma.comcast.net) has left #Underground 06[23:23] * Nestor glances over to Al, "Yeah?" [23:24] "I'm....Sorry for insulting you back at the daycare...You caught me in a mood." [23:24] 1d20+2 [23:24] Vanity, 1d20+2: 22 [1d20=20] [23:25] "Hmm. Apology accepted." 06[23:26] * Alphonse attempts an honest smile i the Nite's direction. [23:27] And Nestor gives a half-hearted one back. It doesn't seem to be distaste causing it though, just the current situation. [23:27] "So, uhh, I don't like poking around in business that isn't mine, but... you and the girl?" [23:28] "She's sweet. And willing to listen. Plus I can actually understand her." A soft laugh, [23:29] "Cute. I was more curious about what happened on the boat though. With the bottle-smashing." 06[23:30] * Alphonse bites his lip and looks away, "A misunderstanding....She can be emotional at times." [23:31] "It's fine. I just wanted to know what was going on. The sailors didn't give me enough time before they dragged her off." 03[23:31] * DetectiveDoe is now known as Kuria [23:32] "I brought up our dispute at the daycare, and the sailors were murmering rude things. She was emotionally unstable and felt protective of me. Sorry again." 06[23:32] * Alphonse starts to bow 06[23:32] * Ignatius looks at Vanity with a look that says 'you didn't need to do that', but then he looks away. 06[23:34] * Vanity can't see your look, bro, sunglasses! As the rest have their feelings time, Vanity waits for them to all be engaged, and slips off. [23:34] 1d20+2 [23:34] Vanity, 1d20+2: 22 [1d20=20] 06[23:34] * Nestor shakes his head, showing his obvious disapproval. "Don't be so formal, there's no need to bow or anything like that. And... apology accepted." [23:34] She slips off so silently that not even Capone knows she's gone. [23:35] "Oh...okay..." Slightly awkward expression. [23:37] Feeling the conversation being dried up, Nestor pulls out the strange photograph from before, taking care to keep it hidden from view as he looks it over. 06[23:37] * Ignatius sunglass were down the bridge of his nose as he gave that look. 06[23:41] * Alphonse starts playing with Vogue agai, this time some sort of Patty cake from his head. 03[23:45] * Vanity (Vanity@sux-57FC671C.hot.res.rr.com) has left #Underground 06[23:47] * Gregson sits down next to Al and pulls out a jug of something that smells terrible. "Want a swig?" 06[23:49] * Alphonse Stops playing with his mon and scoots back a bit, "No thanks..." 02[23:49] * Nestor (TheBMW@sux-1D95054.hrbgpa.east.verizon.net) Quit (Quit: ) [23:50] He keeps his voice down to keep from disturbing the pokemon. "Calm down, kid. You're probly too much of an egghead to enjoy this stuff anyway. You the brains of this op?" 06[23:50] * Alphonse looks around at the others, then points at Raph, "He is the brains...I'm more of the heart." [23:51] "Huh. Whatever. You guys notice the floor?" He nods to the indentions in the ground. [23:52] "No...What caused that?" 01[23:52] Raph catches notice of Al's pointing towards him as he makes his comment. "I'd hardly say that, Al..." His attention drifts towards the indents shortly after. [23:53] "Don't know. I assumed that a twig like you would know what may have done that." [23:53] "Something heavy...or something augmented to an extreme." 06[23:54] * Alphonse turns to raph, "thanks." 06[23:56] * Raphael looks down at the footprints in an attempt to make anything out of them. "I... Hadn't stated anything worth expressing gratitude over..." [23:57] That's okay. I'm confused too. 01[23:57] Aren't we all? [23:58] " 06[23:58] * Ignatius looks at the footprints. Session Time: Wed Feb 01 00:00:00 2012 [00:00] "Raph, you traveled around...You've met Marill this friendly before right?" 01[00:02] "I'm afraid I haven't actually been exposed to that many Pokemon before... Most of the travelling was done by air since I'd usually been migrating from region to region." [00:03] "Oh...Okay..." 01[00:06] "Still, their demeanor's proven to be a significant improvement over the other Pokemon we've encountered recently... Especially considering their current location." [00:08] "Most pokemon just need some attention and love. These guys were locked up for who knows how long. They need some one to show them they are needed." 01[00:14] "It... Doesn't seem as if they were deprived of any of that from here, though..." He puts a hand to the glass, gazing back in towards the nearest Marill. [00:16] "I've only seen things get needy when they have been deprived." looks into the tank as well, "I wish I could help him." [00:17] "Bella says they are happy..." [00:18] "Maybe they are made to be happy..." [00:18] "Wait....What about..." [00:19] 1d20+2 Intellegence for feet [00:19] Alphonse, Intellegence for feet: 14 [1d20=12] 01[00:26] "I seriously doubt that imposing happiness upon Pokemon would warrant the expenses that were probably funneled into this project," he shoots off. 06[00:27] * Alphonse sits back dow beside Ana, starts to mumble to her in foreign tongues. Prolly just sweet nothings. Maybe he is giving her false stories of a happy life after diplomacy. You'll never know. You don't know moon speak. 02[00:28] * Kuria (lolz@sux-453BAEA1.ok.ok.cox.net) Quit (Quit: ) 03[00:31] * Alphonse (Bakoren@F380AF5.6753543E.8414498F.IP) has left #Underground 02[00:31] * Gregson (Trickyicky@sux-32DABF78.wichitaonline.net) Quit (Quit: ) 02[00:35] * @operator (operatorAH@sux-3B9EFC07.wichitaonline.net) Quit (Quit: ) 02[00:37] * Tison (Gents@sux-DD244A0.dynamic.ip.windstream.net) Quit (Quit: ) [01:07] !dm9001 leave #Beach [01:07] Ignatius, sorry, boss!
