[19:04] Laptop: Timed Program Activated
[19:04] Laptop: Initiating Reality Wave
[19:04] *** Legault is now known as FrogPlushie.
[19:04] * FrogPlushie is lying on a window ledge limply. Some curse version of sleep, perhaps.
[19:04] * TaloToecan twitches an ear in time with the announcement.
[19:05] * Lkeas glances up upon hearing the announcement. "Timed program? Now who initiated that..?"
[19:05] Genoclysm: What's this, another trip?
[19:05] * Necro puts his scythe back onto his back, and double checks his PDA. "Looks like we're going somewhere..."
[19:05] * Elaith and Daniel look up in unison.
[19:05] >Ambiance<: Reality seems to fold inward and expand outward simultaneously. There is a sensation like riding an amusement park pirateship ride in the pit of your stomach
[19:06] Cy: "Someone grab that laptop."
[19:06] �De`thion�: not again
[19:06] * FrogPlushie twitches madly at the Reality Wave and glows blue. "Whazzat?"
[19:06] * Selarep cocks an eyebrow.
[19:07] >Ambiance<: The World of Caelstia Falls away and is replaced by an oddly familiar scene
[19:07] �De`thion�: looks around
[19:07] Durroth: ((erm... action))
[19:08] * LordBarrius stretches a bit in his seat. He had appeared to be sleeping up until that moment. The nausea affects him somewhat, but having experienced it so often it's hard to tell if he's grown used to it or not, at least just looking at him.
[19:08] Little_Brown_Box: Dude.
[19:08] Little_Brown_Box: Who pushed what?
[19:08] Little_Brown_Box: And can we do it again?
[19:08] * Lkeas clutches at her stomach lightly, feeling a bit nauseous. "I need to start taking motion sickness pills or something for these trips.."
[19:09] Little_Brown_Box: Hm...
[19:09] Little_Brown_Box: That was a rather inelligant transfer, weren't it?
[19:09] * Selarep squints his right eye slightly. "Heh. You get used to it aftet a while..."
[19:09] * Damsel awakens at the odd sensation of transport with a soft groan. She tries to quickly throw off the remaining fog of sleep as she sits up and looks around.
[19:10] FrogPlushie: "Ooh, this scene seems oddly familiar."
[19:08] >Ambiance<: A light snow begins to fall on Manhattan's Greenwich village. It is peculiar for mid october but not overly so. The snow accelerates and accumulates however and by dusk a good quarter of an inch is coating the wet surfaces.
[19:08] >Ambiance<: Shortly after night the bustle of the village begins to taper more then usual. But Cafe Figaro on the corner of Mcdougal and Bleeker is still doing a brisk buisness. Figaro, a well renowned coffee house since the 1950s, was once an important part of the early 60s music scene. It is still a hot social spot but much of that has died down now.
[19:09] * De`thion stretches a bit
[19:10] >Ambiance<: Of course you can still see belly dancers and other rather exotic things so it remains a popular spot.
[19:10] Cy: "Where are we?"
[19:10] * Galrick crosses Bleeker and sits down at Cafe Figaro his laptop in front of him with a frown
[19:10] Genoclysm: This looks familiar. Been a while...
[19:10] * Selarep notices the belly dancers and grins.
[19:10] De`thion: Here we go again
[19:11] * Lkeas shakes off the queasiness and gets her bearings.
[19:11] >Ambiance<: All non human creatures find themselves transformed into decidely human bodies
[19:11] * De`thion kicks sel in the shin as stealthily as he can
[19:11] * Daniel shivers slightly, his t-shirt offering little against the warmth. Elaith, however, seems to take the cool air without concern, more intent on observing the surroundings.
[19:11] Lkeas: New York.. and, Cafe Figaro...
[19:11] FrogPlushie: "... Erm. Why do I have a human body?"
[19:11] * TaloToecan looks around at the light dustings of snow and the surrounding cityscape. "Feh." Surrupticiously, he decides to move along with the transformation and takes on his decidedly unique self-image.
[19:11] * Selarep sidesteps right before De`Thiom lands his kick.
[19:11] FrogPlushie: "Utter madness."
[19:11] * Genoclysm dusts some of the snow off of him and looks around.
[19:11] * LordBarrius stands rather slowly and stretches some more to get the kinks out of his muscles.
[19:12] * Selarep glares at De`Thion momentarily.
[19:12] * Lkeas spots Galrick and her face lights up slightly. "Hey guys, a familiar face in a familiar place.."
[19:12] Galrick: "Where are you." he utters absently
[19:12] Cy: "Scanning. Subject: Galrick."
[19:12] >Ambiance<: A figure in a red suit with golden trim carrying a Cane steps in front of Galrick
[19:12] FrogPlushie: "Santa Claus!"
[19:12] Genoclysm: We... aren't in the past, are we? I thought he was on Lore...
[19:12] * Galrick looks up
[19:13] Galrick: "Who are you...."
[19:13] Genoclysm: Why is Galrick...
[19:13] Selarep: Hmm...
[19:13] * FrogPlushie does an odd dance, then falls over, tripping on himself. "... Stupid bodies."
[19:13] Figure: your judge Galrick Son of Glenn
[19:13] Figure: Your Jury
[19:13] * Damsel looks about, trying to get her bearings. Spotting Galrick she smiles faintly, then frowns upon seeing the other figure.
[19:13] * Lkeas walks over to the cafe, stopping a few paces away from Galrick and the figure.
[19:13] * Figure pulls out a small device
[19:13] * TaloToecan adjusts the spectacles, despite how they are simply for show in his altering self-image, and glances over at Cafe Figaro and Galrick within.
[19:13] Cy: "Scanning. Subject: Unknown."
[19:13] Figure: Your Executioner
[19:14] FrogPlushie: "... Ya'know, that sounds bad."
[19:14] * Figure presses the device in Galrick's neck
[19:14] * Lkeas 's eyes widen. "Wait, it's not his time yet!"
[19:14] * LordBarrius eyes the figure in red and frowns deeply.
[19:14] Cy: "Judge Jury and Executioner?I cant let that stand."
[19:14] Galrick: Prophetess!
[19:14] * Selarep widens his formerly squinted eye.
[19:14] Figure: Prophetess
[19:14] Genoclysm: Now what's going on?
[19:14] De`thion: here we go again
[19:14] Figure: The Caelestian seeks to interfere with me further?
[19:14] De`thion: shenanigans ensue
[19:14] * TaloToecan frowns at the act. "Savrashi. This of all times, this of all places?"
[19:14] * FrogPlushie scrambles up to its feet, looking around warily.
[19:15] Cy: "We were just sent here."
[19:15] FrogPlushie: "Of course, we mess with everything!"
[19:15] Figure: Well you are late as usual and I will deal with you exactly as I have in the past
[19:15] Cy: "Frog!"
[19:15] * Damsel hurries forward, her bearing wary and defensive, but she has no desire to leave Lkeas in danger.
[19:15] De`thion: Bumbling into things is our specialty
[19:15] * Figure gestures at Lkeas
[19:15] * Lkeas shakes her head. "Why did you.. he hadn't even gotten to face.."
[19:15] * TaloToecan eyes the cane and the garb, walking calmly to place himself in front of both Lkeas and Damsel.
[19:15] Cy: "You Sound like an Old Terran television Arch Nemesis."
[19:15] Lkeas: You are gripped by the Cold
[19:15] FrogPlushie: "Frog? What frog?"
[19:16] TaloToecan: "Much like a broken record, are you not?"
[19:16] * Figure's features clarify quite clearly into those of Ryuusei Cartwright
[19:16] * Lkeas cuts off abruptly, shuddering violently and throwing a hand onto the table attempting to keep her balance. "Why... are you here..."
[19:17] Ryuusei: The masters work is never done
[19:17] * LordBarrius scowls and rushes forward himself, though he clearly appears less defensive in his stance as he suspects it serves him little good anyways.
[19:17] * Genoclysm balls his hands into fists. "Why'd he have to be here?"
[19:17] * Damsel scowls and her heartrate involuntarily increases upon identifying the figure. "You..."
[19:17] TaloToecan: "Even as a master of the Cold, Cartwright, you act much like a one-trick pony."
[19:17] * Cy attempts to press the buttons on his arm to get his handgun.
[19:17] De`thion: wait, what, who? am I mising something?
[19:17] * Lkeas shakes her head, her breath coming in sharp gasps. "Your.. Master... wouldn't allow this..."
[19:18] Ryuusei: Why bother with multiple tricks when one will do... oh and I dare say this is new enough
[19:18] Ryuusei: Do you not recognize the scene
[19:18] * TaloToecan frowns further as he visually evaluates Ryuusei carefully, on guard for likely reprisals to his own bold words.
[19:18] * Cy presses the buttons again.
[19:18] Sacred: Hmm
[19:18] * Sacred looks arround himself
[19:19] * Sacred gets up
[19:19] * Zoe goes into the Cafe and sits down with her macbook
[19:19] * Damsel glances at Lkeas, Talo, and LordBarrius in turn, faintly uncertain of what's going on.
[19:19] De`thion: whats happening here?
[19:20] De`thion: I'm confused
[19:20] * Lkeas can't seem to stop shivering although she manages to twist her head to look at Galrick, trying to assess his condition.
[19:20] * LordBarrius tilts his head a bit and reassesses the scene. "Hm."
[19:20] Elaith: This is when I first joined with you... is it not?
[19:20] Elaith: That means a snowstorm is coming...
[19:21] * FrogPlushie walks over to Lkeas and tries to pat her on the back in a reassuring manner, yet rather clumsy, manner.
[19:21] Genoclysm: So we are in the past?
[19:21] Ryuusei: A storm is coming
[19:21] TaloToecan: "Before my time among the others."
[19:21] De`thion: you've been here before?
[19:21] Ryuusei: To be sure
[19:21] * Lkeas throws FrogPlushie off quickly. "Don't touch me!"
[19:21] * Cy walks over to lkeas "I'm sure The Cold wont effect me."
[19:21] Ryuusei: Do not expect The Caelestian's Avatar to aid you....
[19:21] * FrogPlushie topples over. "Wheee... Ow. Why do I have bones?"
[19:22] Ryuusei: I have removed him from this equation
[19:22] Elaith: Why have you violated this point in time? This changes Reality, does it not?
[19:22] Ryuusei: And here I thought you were a witless cleric of Falerin
[19:22] * Daniel frowns, entirely displeased.
[19:22] Genoclysm: Lkeas, snap out of it. What does he have to use against you? He has no right to affect you, so try and ignore it.
[19:22] Ryuusei: You clearly have a slight modicum of wit afterall
[19:22] * TaloToecan holds out an arm to bar Cy from moving forward. "You are not as invulnerable to it as you might believe."
[19:22] * FrogPlushie stumbles up, swaying similar to rubber.
[19:23] LordBarrius: "You're meddling in things you shouldn't, Cartwright."
[19:23] Cy: "Subject: Ryuusei Cartwright. Arch Nemesis of sorts Of THe Truth Seekers. Priority: High Must be Eliminated."
[19:23] * De`thion looks at Ryuusei
[19:23] Ryuusei: I am beyond reproach you pathetic creature
[19:23] FrogPlushie: "Eliminate? Now that's not nice."
[19:23] De`thion: From the reactions of everyone else, I'm guessing your the bad guy here?
[19:23] * Lkeas scowls as she tries to raise herself to an upright position. "You're right.. Geno... have fought it off, before.."
[19:23] FrogPlushie: "Really, we should give Fartwright a cup of coffee, he seems a bit grumpy."
[19:24] * LordBarrius grins faintly. "Oh?"
[19:24] * Ryuusei gestures at Genoclysm
[19:24] * Damsel merely frowns, feeling a sense of loathing and fear for the man before them. However, she is uncertain of what she might say that is different from what is already being said, and so keeps to her silence.
[19:24] Ryuusei: "And you give her advice Odeycian?
[19:24] Ryuusei: "You who bring nothing but calamity in your wake"
[19:24] Cy: "Cartwright. Why do you bother us so."
[19:24] * Lkeas stumbles over to Galrick, trying to see if he's conscious. "Galrick... can you hear.. me?"
[19:24] Genoclysm: That's the old me. I'm different now.
[19:25] Ryuusei: "Who destroys everything and everyone you love"
[19:25] Ryuusei: "If only nature were so easily changed"
[19:25] Genoclysm: It can be!
[19:25] * TaloToecan continues to frown and evaluate Ryuusei. "Everything you do is for a purpose and design...and I am not so sure everything you claim is indeed your Master's wish to the letter. Then again, who am I to know for sure?"
[19:25] Cy: "Mode: ."
[19:26] Ryuusei: "Cling to your delusions. Let us see how far they serve you"
[19:26] Ryuusei: "You of course are missing the very obvious"
[19:26] * Elaith looks at Galrick to see his condition.
[19:26] Ryuusei: "Isn't it odd... that noone is reacting to us..."
[19:26] * Cy rushes at Ryuusei. "Delusion this."
[19:26] De`thion: noone can see us?
[19:26] De`thion: why?
[19:26] Ryuusei: "Not Galrick... and not any of your previous number here"
[19:26] Genoclysm: Not a surprise. I do tend to be focus on one thing at a time...
[19:27] LordBarrius: "....we're not 'present' in the standard sense, apparently."
[19:27] De`thion: are we even actually here?
[19:27] Ryuusei: "No..."
[19:27] Ryuusei: "You are not"
[19:27] * Selarep gives Ryuusei a mild glare with an eerily twisted half-frown.
[19:27] Genoclysm: Didn't Galrick respond to Lkeas, though?
[19:27] TaloToecan: "What games do you play with illusion and misdirection this time, Twain?"
[19:27] Ryuusei: "None of this is even real"
[19:27] Ryuusei: "And it is not for the Benefit of Galrick at all"
[19:27] * Genoclysm looks around.
[19:27] De`thion: so this is just an illusion?
[19:27] Ryuusei: "It was merely for you to spring my trap"
[19:28] * Cy Is ignored.
[19:28] * Damsel shakes her head, her expression becoming increasingly worried.
[19:28] * Lkeas squints her eyes shut, taking a deep breath. "Do I want to ask what that is?"
[19:28] Ryuusei: You are not even in New York
[19:28] Genoclysm: Trap for just us, or would others be included?
[19:28] Ryuusei: You are in Chicago
[19:28] * Ryuusei laughs
[19:28] De`thion: ... you have a one track mind, dont you
[19:28] Cy: "Chicago?"
[19:28] * LordBarrius scowls. "Chicago? Then..."
[19:28] Selarep: ....
[19:29] Lkeas: NOVA...
[19:29] De`thion: what about chicago?
[19:29] * Cy runs behind Ryuusei. "Hmm."
[19:29] * Ryuusei gestures at Cy
[19:29] * Ryuusei induces a major memory protection fault in Cy's programming
[19:30] FrogPlushie: "Soooo... Ryuusei. Have you ever considered counseling?"
[19:30] Ryuusei: I am of course not here at all...
[19:30] Damsel: "What is the purpose of this deception? Why was the illusion necessary to this trap of yours, whatever its nature?"
[19:30] Ryuusei: not that such stops me from using my abilities on you
[19:30] Ryuusei: I wanted it to be quite clear how remotely I could do that
[19:31] Genoclysm: Ryuusei, why is it you are so obsessed with us if you are so great?
[19:31] * Lkeas frowns. "A master of the Cold.."
[19:31] * Cy collapses.
[19:31] Elaith: You are buying time to let this reality seize hold as well?
[19:31] Ryuusei: I am even as we speak activating my plans on Lore
[19:31] De`thion: ... you REALLY like hearing yourself talk, dont you?
[19:31] Lkeas: Then are my suspicions correct, then...
[19:31] LordBarrius: "It figures you wouldn't be." The words are dripping with acidic sarcasm and anger.
[19:31] Lkeas: And this...
[19:31] Ryuusei: The purpose of this
[19:31] Ryuusei: was to enduce alarm
[19:31] Ryuusei: to disorient
[19:31] Ryuusei: at that it succeeded
[19:32] * TaloToecan yawns softly.
[19:32] Ryuusei: That emotion served my purpose and it only needed to for a second and only in a few of you
[19:32] FrogPlushie: "Ooh. Well you suck at that. 90% of us are permantently disoriented."
[19:32] TaloToecan: "Well played, Twain, well played."
[19:32] De`thion: well, the disorient part you got right
[19:32] FrogPlushie: "That's like trying to paint an orange orange."
[19:32] * Lkeas gestures at the scene. "Are you enjoying torturing the virtual Galrick? Perhaps you do it here because you're afraid you will not be so successful with the real one."
[19:32] De`thion: I have NO idea what your talking about
[19:32] Ryuusei: Ah... as if you can bait me Profitless
[19:32] De`thion: but alarmed less so
[19:32] Damsel: "...Why? Why was it needed?"
[19:33] Lkeas: Ooh, clever.
[19:33] Ryuusei: You will discover the answer to your query soon enough
[19:33] Ryuusei: By that point it shall be decidedly too late of course
[19:33] LordBarrius: "We'll see about that."
[19:33] * Lkeas growls low in her throat. "Even should you kill him his legacy will live on! His work will not be for naught!"
[19:34] FrogPlushie: "Let's take Rimblade's advice and dig our own graves, think of the time we'll save...~"
[19:34] Ryuusei: Even now your bodies are being shipped elsewhere while your minds remain trapped in this virtual frame
[19:34] * De`thion mutters something about an Aizen wannabe
[19:34] * Damsel appears grim as she eyes Ryuusei, or at least the illusion of him. "I... see..."
[19:34] Lkeas: Even should you find a way to uncreate him I will still remember!! And I will not let it be for nothing!
[19:35] LordBarrius: "How...interesting."
[19:35] Ryuusei: You presume much
[19:35] TaloToecan: "The mind is such a terrible thing to waste, Twain."
[19:35] Genoclysm: I doubt it would come to that. Would The`Galin ever let him have such a "toy"?
[19:35] Ryuusei: You will in turn learn
[19:36] * Lkeas turns to Genoclysm. "What if he doesn't "let him," but he somehow gains it? What if he is able to force his hand?"
[19:36] * De`thion is starting to get a bit pissed off as he figures out whats going on better
[19:36] * TaloToecan closes his eyes and begins to test the boundaries of this supposed mindscape.
[19:36] * Damsel considers. "Well... I suspect there must be an escape route somewhere. Otherwise, how do you plan on leaving this so-called reality?"
[19:36] Genoclysm: Then we'd be in trouble.
[19:37] * Cy twitches.
[19:37] Elaith: Out of curiosity, why did you choose the location you did?
[19:37] LordBarrius: "Obviously. There is an exit somewhere...."
[19:37] Ryuusei: I am not in this reality
[19:37] Ryuusei: I am but a programmed projection
[19:37] De`thion: So your trapping us in an illusion? Should I start calling you Sosuke Aizen now then?
[19:37] Ryuusei: Actually what I am trapping you in is a tad more sinister
[19:37] Genoclysm: The way out of virtual reality is to disconnect... I'm not sure how we'd go about doing that.
[19:38] Lkeas: Isn't that what the Network plans to do? Force the Manifestation?
[19:38] * Damsel chuckles without humor. "And yet you take credit for being able to use the Cold remotely... when it is just a program issuing it."
[19:38] Ryuusei: I am just using the illusion to prevent your interference while I do so
[19:38] Ryuusei: I designed the program
[19:38] Ryuusei: It draws upon me
[19:39] Ryuusei: You really are slow
[19:39] * LordBarrius falls silent as he glares at the form of Ryuusei, focusing his energies instead on considering a way to escape.
[19:39] * Tirlerion appears
[19:39] * TaloToecan sharpens his mind's focus along both the realms of telekinesis and telepathy, bargaining on the hint of the program to design his own call of function on the laptop itself.
[19:39] * Tirlerion looks at Cartwright
[19:39] Elaith: I propose to force a heavier draw by enacting more activity then.
[19:39] Genoclysm: ...wow, this is odd.
[19:39] FrogPlushie: "Ooh, isn't this nice?"
[19:39] Ryuusei: "The transit has been engaged per our arrangement"
[19:40] * Damsel scowls further. "Ah, I should have known."
[19:40] * Cy twitches again. still collapsed on the ground behind Fartwright as FP called him
[19:40] Tirlerion: Very well then... You are sure you can deal with your masters other annoyances?
[19:40] Genoclysm: Working together? Oh come on! Murphy's Law isn't that powerful!
[19:40] Ryuusei: "Zephyr is too occupied to stop this"
[19:40] Ryuusei: "And Diviara lacks the means"
[19:41] FrogPlushie: "I have a plan of action to suggest."
[19:41] Lkeas: You underestimate the power of the Lorians themselves..
[19:41] FrogPlushie: "Run around and scream."
[19:41] * De`thion tries searching around with his power, trying to find a way out, or maybe a spirit who can help
[19:41] Tirlerion: I think not....
[19:41] * TaloToecan raises an eyebrow at Tirlerion's presence and Ryuusei's commentary. Shifting his own tact, he calls along the permanent psyche-bridge to Diviara, opening his own faculties to provide such means if able.
[19:41] Tirlerion: Beware trojans bearing horses.
[19:41] Tirlerion: The people inside may wait a long long time
[19:41] De`thion: Oh! Hi Tirlerion! How are you this lovely evening?
[19:42] Tirlerion: Did you really think that Johansen's effort could thwart my designs
[19:42] Tirlerion: Enjoy the World Pool
[19:42] De`thion: ... you should really come up with a better name for it dude
[19:42] De`thion: world pool is kinda cliche
[19:43] * Elaith listens while Daniel cocks his head curiously, thinking of Greeks bearing gifts.
[19:43] * Damsel appears grim but unsurprised. "So that is where you are transporting us."
[19:43] De`thion: theres already world trees, world walls, world series, world EVERYTHING
[19:43] FrogPlushie: "It's a transparent Yggdrasil Branch."
[19:43] Lkeas: What good are bodies in the World Pool if minds are trapped here?
[19:43] * Genoclysm presses his thumb and forefinger to his eyes. "Yeah, this is not good."
[19:43] Ryuusei: Oh this program will terminate
[19:44] Genoclysm: Lkeas, he can wake us up upon arrival.
[19:44] Ryuusei: The moment you leave ambit
[19:44] Genoclysm: Can anyone get that laptop working?
[19:44] * De`thion digs deep inside himself for power, trying to find a way to escape this place
[19:45] De`thion: I dont suppose your still hiding in here somewhere
[19:45] De`thion: if you are, come out
[19:45] De`thion: I need you
[19:45] * Lkeas turns to Galrick once more. "This may be the last time I ever get to see him..."
[19:45] De`thion: I know you've probably left
[19:45] TaloToecan: "The laptop likely will be rendered inable to do much about our predicament as part of the program Ryuusei enacted."
[19:45] * Cy twitches
[19:45] * TaloToecan grimaces softly. "As I said, well played."
[19:45] De`thion: but damnit, if your still in my body, give me your power!
[19:46] LordBarrius: "Hm....there must be a way around it...."
[19:46] >Ambiance<: There is a feeling as if falling
[19:46] Genoclysm: ...now I really want to offer Tirlerion some tea...
[19:46] Genoclysm: Some "green tea"...
[19:46] FrogPlushie: "I was thinking an exploding boqeut of flowers."
[19:46] FrogPlushie: "Or a hug."
[19:46] * Damsel sways slightly at the sudden disorientation, but manages to keep both her footing and her bearings. "What was that?"
[19:46] * Ryuusei vaporizes
[19:46] * Tirlerion vanishes
[19:47] * Lkeas rests a hand on Galrick's. "I hope you find what you are seeking.."
[19:47] * Manhattan disappears and you find yourself back in the abode
[19:47] FrogPlushie: "Heyyy... I'm floating again."
[19:47] De`thion: Thanks
[19:47] * Cy twitches. unable to see, Feel, Speak, Act, Unable to do anything.
[19:48] * Elaith shows signs of frustration, clearly irritated about restraining himself in Tirlerion's presence, but recalling the last time he interfered.
[19:44] >Ambiance<: The abode collapses inward yanked from Caelestia to a new location
[19:45] >Ambiance<: There is a feeling as if falling
[19:48] >Ambiance<: The sensation stops with a shudder and you find yourselves somewhere else
