[13:26] >>> Sunday Dec 20 2009 – Automatic reset triggered – Logging Start <<<
[13:26] [+Matsumi Kaze] oh wow.....that ought to be interesting
[13:26] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] And the change starts tonight after the match I'm having.
[13:27] [+Matsumi Kaze] my vana the heel :P
[13:27] > +Vanadine (Sweatsuit) grins: I get to be a bad girl for a while.
[13:28] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] But I don't know if I want the kids to see me acting the way I will be.
[13:28] [+Matsumi Kaze] yeah they might not understand it
[13:29] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] Especially little Taiyo
[13:29] [+Matsumi Kaze] yeah really
[13:29] > +Matsumi Kaze puts the final present under the tree "there we go...all done"
[13:30] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] He loves watching the shows with me...... and he really likes my friend/partner on there... but I have to turn on her tonight. I don't think he'll be able to handle that.
[13:31] [+Matsumi Kaze] how is she feeling about you doing this
[13:31] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] Actually, she's all for it.
[13:32] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] This is gonna' be a great lift for her carrer. I have no problem helping put her over.
[13:33] [+Matsumi Kaze] well that's nice!
[13:36] > +Matsumi Kaze moves and sits at the bar
[13:38] > +Vanadine (Sweatsuit) sits next to Matsumi
[13:38] [+Matsumi Kaze] I kind of like the kick of this drink
[13:38] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] Then at next month's pay per view show, Mika's coming in. She's gonna' be my new partner/body guard.
[13:40] > +Matsumi Kaze nearly choaks on her drink, coughing wildly
[13:41] [+Matsumi Kaze] ack..what...what did you say
[13:42] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] Mika's gonna' be my new associate. Are you ok?
[13:44] [+Matsumi Kaze] ..Mika Markavoff???? IS THAT HER LAST NAME!?
[13:44] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] Yeah
[13:45] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] I thought I told you about her?
[13:45] [+Matsumi Kaze] no you didn't..this is bad...this is very bad..very bad....
[13:45] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] Sweety... don't freak out, ok?
[13:45] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] I know who she is.... or was.
[13:46] [+Matsumi Kaze] ..so she's...not like she was then?
[13:46] > +Vanadine (Sweatsuit) shakes her head, finishing her drink.
[13:47] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] She's a sweetheart. A big, tough p[BLEEP]ycat.
[13:47] [+Matsumi Kaze] ..well I guess I should be glad then
[13:47] [+Matsumi Kaze] sorry just..past and all that you know ^^;;
[13:48] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] Yeah, I know. I had my doubts too...
[13:49] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] .... but she's been great to work with. She learns pretty quickly.
[13:50] [+Matsumi Kaze] well that's good..I think
[13:51] > +Matsumi Kaze finishes her drink and licks her lips
[13:51] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] She's perfect for the role they want her to play. I don't think anyone else could do it.
[13:52] [+Matsumi Kaze] ..maybe I could meet her again sometime
[13:53] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] That would be good, concidering she'll be working with me for a bit.
[13:54] [+Matsumi Kaze] wonder what she'll think of meeting me again
[13:55] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] well, she seemed to feel really bad about what she did to you in the past.
[13:55] [+Matsumi Kaze] oh really?
[13:55] > +Matsumi Kaze leans a bit against vana
[13:57] > +Vanadine (Sweatsuit) puts her arm around Matsumi and nods
[13:59] [+Matsumi Kaze] still wish I could sort of see you become the villian XD
[13:59] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] Well.... I tell ya' what....
[14:00] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] .... you promise me you won't try to jump the rail again like you did when those girls ganged up on me and you can come.
[14:00] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] But the kids can't know about this, ok?
[14:01] [+Matsumi Kaze] well of course, dear....I know it's a show
[14:01] [+Matsumi Kaze] I won't tell them
[14:01] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] Alright
[14:02] [+Matsumi Kaze] besides...always fun playing the villian isn't it XD
[14:05] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] That's what I've always heard.
[14:06] > +Matsumi Kaze pulls a bit on the sweatshirt "going to be in that all day heh"
[14:07] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] Noo, gotta' shower and go to the arena for my show here pretty soon.
[14:08] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] Why...? You tryin' to get me out of it? ^_~

[14:09] [@HOL_6000] Welcome aboard, @Nate Detroit
[14:09] > @Nate Detroit walks in with his lunch.
[14:10] [@Nate Detroit] Hey princess. Hello, stranger.
[14:10] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] Nate!
[14:10] [+Matsumi Kaze] heya, nate
[14:10] > +Vanadine (Sweatsuit) hops up and runs over, hugging Nate
[14:11] > +Matsumi Kaze relaxes, watching them
[14:12] > @Nate Detroit hugs back, and kisses her.
[14:13] > +Vanadine (Sweatsuit) kisses Nate back and smiles: Lunch break, eh?
[14:14] [@Nate Detroit] Yeah.. and judging by the faint taste of sweat on you, workout break?
[14:14] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] Heh, yeah. Gonna' go take a shower here in a bit so I can get ready for my show tonight.
[14:15] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] I was just telling Matsy how I'm turning heel tonight.
[14:15] [@Nate Detroit] Ohhhh..... I love cheering for the heels. Who are you gonna feud with?
[14:16] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] My tag team partner from when I first started.
[14:16] [@Nate Detroit] Nice... Just don't throw her through any windows.
[14:17] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] Oh no, the company won't let us do anything quite THAT dramatic.
[14:18] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] But yeah, it's gonna' be interesting. Me as the bad girl. ^_~
[14:18] [@Nate Detroit] Well, good luck. I hope you can pull it off.. female heels are often quite hard to apreciate. Not that I don't have faith in you, of course.
[14:20] [@Nate Detroit] Do you know who'se gonna come out ahead in the end yet?
[14:21] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] Well, they're planning on pushing both of us after our feud is over, but in different directions. I think she's gonna' come out looking a lot stronger.
[14:22] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] But you've met Mika, right?
[14:23] [@Nate Detroit] Mika? I don't think so.
[14:24] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] Well, she's a big girl Neph signed and got into CAW. She's gonna' debut as my bodyguard next month while I'm pushing for the men's titles.
[14:25] [@Nate Detroit] Heh... classic Heel move, hiding behind someone stronger.
[14:27] > +Vanadine (Sweatsuit) giggles a bit.
[14:27] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] It's gonna' be fun.
[14:27] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] Matsy's gonna' come to the show tonight. You wanna' come too?
[14:28] [@Nate Detroit] Well, I hope you keep a good relationship with that poor girl and don't let her get buerried under you in the long run. I'll TRY to steal away for a few minutes and see you, but I can't make promises. Its a busy day today.
[14:29] [+Matsumi Kaze] .....huh...
[14:30] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] Oh no, I'm not gonna' let that happen to Dylan. When they asked me if I wanted to do this... I told 'em I wouldn't without them pushing Dylan for the woman's belt.
[14:30] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] Something up, Sweety?
[14:30] [+Matsumi Kaze] ...nope..nothing
[14:30] > +Vanadine (Sweatsuit) goes over and sits with Matsumi at the bar
[14:32] > @Nate Detroit goes back to his lunch.
[14:33] > +Matsumi Kaze relaxes
[14:34] > +Vanadine (Sweatsuit) lays her head on Matsumi's shoulder
[14:35] [+Matsumi Kaze] so has anyone in your wrestling group seen Mika yet..cause from what I remember she's....big.....very....big
[14:35] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] Oh yeah, they've met her.
[14:36] [+Matsumi Kaze] what did they think of her?
[14:36] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] I think some of the guys were intimidated by her size cause she's bigger then them. But they all seem to like her.
[14:37] [@Nate Detroit] How big are we talking?
[14:37] [+Matsumi Kaze] ..about 8 ft tall
[14:37] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] Yeah, she's a big girl.
[14:39] [+Matsumi Kaze] beat me to a pulp when I first met her
[14:39] [@Nate Detroit] Eight... O_O you... can't be serious...
[14:39] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] But...... that was a long time ago.
[14:40] > @Nate Detroit pulls up a data pad and types.
[14:40] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] Totally! She's an even two feet taller then me.
[14:41] [@Nate Detroit] ...André the Giant was only.... "ONLY" seven foot four...
[14:42] [+Matsumi Kaze] well..she isn't human
[14:42] [@Nate Detroit] Oh. Obviously she passes for one?
[14:43] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] Yeah, she looks normal enough that I didn't have to get a holo disguise thing from Nall
[14:43] [+Matsumi Kaze] she's just very very big and very very muscular..
[14:43] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] 244 cm tall
[14:45] > @Nate Detroit types on the pad again to convert that to someithng he knows.
[14:45] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] I'm 184
[14:45] > @Nate Detroit sighs.
[14:46] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] Something wrong?
[14:47] [@Nate Detroit] Nothing new.
[14:48] [+Matsumi Kaze] huh????
[14:48] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] Aww, tell your girls about it.
[14:49] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] Ya' know Matsy and I are here for you.
[14:49] [@Nate Detroit] Yes, well, just my hatred of being short...
[14:50] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] Awww, you're not SHORT.
[14:50] [@Nate Detroit] Stand up, look me in the eyes, and tell me that.
[14:50] > @Nate Detroit puts down the pad, his lunch, and stands to his full 5'6" height.
[14:51] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] That doesn't matter THAT much though Nate. You make up for it in other ways.
[14:51] [+Matsumi Kaze] ..like I like being this height myself
[14:51] [@Nate Detroit] It matters to me.
[14:52] [@Nate Detroit] You're a girl, Matsumi. Its different.
[14:54] > @Nate Detroit continues to watch Vana, standing.
[14:54] > +Vanadine (Sweatsuit) walks over to Nate
[14:54] > @Nate Detroit looks up into her face.
[14:55] > +Vanadine (Sweatsuit) looks down a bit to Nate
[14:55] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] So what if you're shorter then me.... I wouldn't have you any other way.
[14:56] [@Nate Detroit] I knew you couldnt tell me I wasnt short.. bah, forget it.
[14:56] > +Vanadine (Sweatsuit) suddenly grabs Nate and pulls him against her
[14:57] > @Nate Detroit raises an eyebrow.
[14:58] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] I said you were shorter then me. I didn't call you short. :P
[14:58] [+Matsumi Kaze] heh
[14:58] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] Besides, you're just tall enough for me to do this....!
[14:58] > +Vanadine (Sweatsuit) presses his face into her chest with a smirk.
[14:59] > @Nate Detroit gives a muffled sigh. "Not helping."
[14:59] > +Vanadine (Sweatsuit) lets him up: Awww, I thought you'd like that?
[14:59] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] 'deki can't do that and I do that to Vashy
[14:59] [@Nate Detroit] My libido might, but my pride doesnt.
[15:00] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] Aww
[15:01] [@Nate Detroit] Look, I really should be getting back. I'm sorry if I brought ether of you down. Promise you won't dwell on what I said?
[15:01] [+Matsumi Kaze] of course not
[15:02] > +Vanadine (Sweatsuit) kisses Nate: Don't worry about it. Just never forget we love you, no matter what you look like. :)
[15:02] > @Nate Detroit returns the kiss.
[15:02] [@Nate Detroit] I know. I know. Just remember that I do have a bit of a frail ego.
[15:03] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] Trust me, you have nothing to be ashamed of. ^_^
[15:04] > @Nate Detroit gathers his stuff.
[15:04] [+Matsumi Kaze] yeah!
[15:04] [@Nate Detroit] You say that..
[15:05] <-- @Nate Detroit [SmashChamp@reddwarf.com] has left #reddwarfmain (Glad I have work to clear my head of all this..)
[15:07] > +Vanadine (Sweatsuit) sighs a little and turns to Matsumi
[15:07] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] I'll never understand things like that.
[15:08] [+Matsumi Kaze] yeah really
[15:09] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] I'd trade him height if I could.
[15:10] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] Let him be 6'... I'll be 5'6"
[15:12] [+Matsumi Kaze] awww you're fine the way you are
[15:13] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] Yeah, I suppose
[15:14] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] I should start getting ready for my show.
[15:14] [+Vanadine (Sweatsuit)] You still wanna' help me out of this sweatsuit?
[15:15] [+Matsumi Kaze] sure!
[15:16] > +Vanadine (Sweatsuit) motions with a grin for Matsumi to follow her as she walks out
[15:16] <-- +Vanadine (Sweatsuit) [RedheadNinja@royalguard.co.q] has left #reddwarfmain (Nothing like a shower with my Matsy to get me ready for a show. ^_~)

[17:48] [@HOL_6000] Welcome aboard, Hiroshi
[17:48] [+Solarchos] Oh, hello there.
[17:48] > Hiroshi walks in, nearly bumping into the tree
[17:48] > Hiroshi jumps back
[17:49] [Hiroshi] oh..greetings
[17:49] [+Solarchos] I don't suppose you've seen Miara around, have you?
[17:49] [Hiroshi] ....who?
[17:49] > Hiroshi looks at one of the balls on the tree with curiousity
[17:49] [+Solarchos] Ah, you probably haven't met her then. If you did you'd remember her easily.
[17:50] [+Solarchos] From what I've seen, Miara always makes good first impressions.
[17:50] [+Solarchos] What are you looking at there?
[17:50] [Hiroshi] ..this odd little babual...
[17:51] > Hiroshi touches it with one of the longer nails on his fingers
[17:52] [+Solarchos] Oh, it's a Christmas tree ornament! I take it you've never seen one before now?
[17:52] [Hiroshi] ..christmas?
[17:52] [Hiroshi] I have heard that word somewhere before
[17:53] [Hiroshi] from the lady amber I belive
[17:54] [+Solarchos] It's a Terran holiday. Quite important to a lot of Humans there.
[17:55] [Hiroshi] I am not human
[17:55] [+Solarchos] From what I've personally observed, it involves eggnog, mistletoe, decorating trees, watching "A Charlie Brown Christmas" on TV, and lots and lots and LOTS of shopping.
[17:56] [+Solarchos] And the shopping frequently involves getting in fights with other shoppers.
[17:56] > Hiroshi blinks some more......doesn't seem to get it
[17:58] [Hiroshi] I...see?
[17:58] > +Solarchos shrugs. "I don't completely understand it myself either. It also involves a guy dressed in red making toys in a workshop up at the North Pole delivering gifts all over the world in a single night riding a flying sled pulled by reindeer."
[17:58] [Hiroshi] what is a reindeer
[17:58] [Hiroshi] (( solar should probably /LOOK at hiroshi XD XD ))
[17:58] [Hiroshi] (( might explain some things ))
[17:59] > +Solarchos looks at Hiroshi
[17:59] ➣ Hiroshi: pale blue-black hair, yellow wolf eyes , and sharp teeth. has patterns on his face that mimic fur patterns and has large side-burns.
[18:00] [+Solarchos] (( I know, but remember that Solar IC wasn't born on Earth, so he's as confused as anyone else. ))
[18:00] [Hiroshi] (( XD ))
[18:01] > Hiroshi goes over to the bar and pours himself some sake..
[18:02] [Hiroshi] I am...not very fluent in modern ways ^^;;;
[18:03] [+Solarchos] And I'm not exactly fluent in the ways of Terran-born Humans, so I'm kind of in the same boat as you are.
[18:03] [Hiroshi] .....*sniff...sniff.........sniff sniff*
[18:04] > Hiroshi looks at Solar......
[18:04] [+Solarchos] Hmmm? Got another question?
[18:04] [Hiroshi] ..I smell Kitsune on you...
[18:05] [+Solarchos] That's because my wife is a kitsune-onna! ^___^♡
[18:06] [Hiroshi] ...............
[18:06] [+Solarchos] And she and I currently have four children.
[18:06] [Hiroshi] I see....dangerious creatures they are...
[18:06] > Hiroshi drinks his sake
[18:07] [Hiroshi] I never socialized with the like..
[18:08] [+Solarchos] Sometimes, but Inu-Kit's never treated me with anything but respect and love. I suspect it's because she's bonded so strongly with me.
[18:08] [+Solarchos] I have heard that fox-women can be very devoted to their mates.
[18:08] [Hiroshi] I see...well I heard rumors of the like...but we never saw them where I hunted
[18:09] [+Solarchos] Where are you from?
[18:10] [Hiroshi] the mountains....I am an Okuri-Okami..
[18:11] [+Solarchos] Okuri-Okami?
[18:12] [Hiroshi] I belive it translates into the english.....as...escorting wolf
[18:12] [Hiroshi] I am a yokai
[18:12] [Hiroshi] like your wife
[18:13] [+Solarchos] Ahh. You're a wolf-kin?
[18:13] [Hiroshi] I guess..you could call me tht
[18:13] [Hiroshi] *that
[18:13] > Hiroshi 's eyes blaze...and he is suddenly gone
[18:14] > +Solarchos looks around and listens very carefully.

[18:15] > Hiroshi (wolf form) stands behind solar....huge with blazing yellow eyes and a blue patter along his dark fur on his face..
[18:16] [+Solarchos] Hmmm, pretty impressive.
[18:16] > Hiroshi (wolf form) pants a bit, looking at solar
[18:17] > Hiroshi (wolf form) tries to move, but bumps his back against the ceiling and falls over
[18:17] [Hiroshi (wolf form)] O_o
[18:17] > +Solarchos pats Hiroshi on the snout. "Are you all right there?"
[18:17] > Hiroshi (wolf form) whimpers a little bit
[18:19] > +Solarchos doesn't really know what to do right now. o___O
[18:19] > Hiroshi (wolf form) morphs back to humaniod form
[18:19] [Hiroshi] ugh
[18:20] [Hiroshi] it is better in the forests
[18:21] [+Solarchos] Too tight in here?
[18:21] [Hiroshi] very
[18:21] [Hiroshi] is this christmas a festivle?
[18:22] [Hiroshi] /URL http://www.obakemono.com/obake/okami/ | OOC: good info on what Hiroshi is here
[18:23] > Hiroshi runs some of the needles through his fingers
[18:24] [+Solarchos] Sort of. It depends on the families that celebrate it though. Most of them do engage in some kind of party on Christmas Eve.
[18:24] [Hiroshi] ...what of lovers?
[18:25] [Hiroshi] (( solar is it ok if you get on aim? ))
[18:25] [+Solarchos] (( Sure. Hold on. ))
[18:26] [Hiroshi] what...do they do?
[18:26] [+Solarchos] Well, sometimes if a person stands beneath a bundle of mistletoe suspended from the ceiling the girl (or boy) that they like is supposed to give them a kiss.
[18:27] [Hiroshi] !!!!..in....in public?????
[18:27] [+Solarchos] Yes, in public.
[18:28] [Hiroshi] that....but that's...
[18:29] [+Solarchos] It's not all that scandalous, if that's what you're worried about.
[18:31] [Hiroshi] ...it sounds like it
[18:34] [+Solarchos] Why do you ask?
[18:35] [Hiroshi] I have...a lover
[18:36] [+Solarchos] Ahhhh. Is it someone the rest of us have met yet?
[18:37] [Hiroshi] ...perhaps
[18:39] [+Solarchos] Are you hoping to get together with her at some point during the holiday season?
[18:39] [Hiroshi] well..I..I live with her now...
[18:40] > Hiroshi is blushing badly
[18:42] [+Solarchos] Well, good luck with her. I take it she's very special to you.
[18:43] [Hiroshi] ...very
[18:45] [+Solarchos] Heh, she sounds like quite a girl. What's her name?
[18:46] [Hiroshi] Lady Amber
[18:47] [+Solarchos] Nice name for a girl.
[18:48] [Hiroshi] ..she is truely...a goddess to me
[18:50] [+Solarchos] I guess I could say the same thing about Inu-Kit, too. She almost literally dropped into my life during a terrible time and she and I quickly fell in love. We were married just a few months later and now we have four children. And she wants more!
[18:52] [Hiroshi] ...um..amazing
[18:53] [+Solarchos] Sometimes, when you actually find the perfect mate, things just fall into place beautifully. Almost like some divine plan's unfolding.
[18:54] [+Solarchos] I take it this is kind of the same thing between you and Amber?
[18:58] [Hiroshi] you could say that
[19:00] > +Solarchos has a bundle on his shoulder that's wrapped up in a blanket. It seems to be moving occasionally and breathing.
[19:00] [Hiroshi] ????
[19:02] > +Solarchos gently removes the bundle from his shoulder and holds it in his arms. "Don't worry! He won't hurt you."
[19:03] > +Solarchos has little Daniel (in fur) with him, ready to give back to Miara.
[19:03] [Hiroshi] ...what is that???
[19:04] [+Solarchos] This is Daniel! He's a Lupa child. Miara brought him here a couple days ago so he could have a sleepover with my children.
[19:06] > +Solarchos is holding a tiny little creature that looks vague like a wolf cub, except its head and face are shaped differently, has thick wiry fur, possess a slender kinked tail, and fine legs.
[19:06] [Hiroshi] ...lupa?
[19:08] [+Solarchos] Miara is an alien that can take Human form. Her species are called Lupa. They're really quite nice to know. At least I've never had bad dealings with any of them so far.
[19:08] --> David O'Cain has joined #reddwarfmain
[19:08] >>> @HOL_6000 sets mode +p to David O'Cain
[19:08] [@HOL_6000] Welcome aboard, +David O'Cain
[19:08] [+Solarchos] Hey David.
[19:08] [+David O'Cain] Evening, gents.
[19:09] [Hiroshi] evening
[19:10] [+Solarchos] The Lupa's natural form sort of vaguely resembles what some Humans might call werewolves, but that's far from accurate since Lupa aren't canines or wolves at all. Although they are quadrupeds in their natural form.
[19:10] [Hiroshi] what are werewolves
[19:12] [+David O'Cain] Um, what's going on?
[19:13] [+Solarchos] Well, I guess you could almost be called a werewolf, Hiroshi. Werewolves are traditionally believed to be either wolves that can assume humanoid form or Humans who've been cursed or infected with a disease that transforms them into a wolf-like hybrid creature.
[19:13] > +Solarchos points at little Daniel, who's still sound asleep in the blanket bundle. "Ssshhhhh! Not too loud now."
[19:15] [+Solarchos] Just talking with Hiroshi here.
[19:15] [+David O'Cain] Ah, okay.
[19:17] > +Solarchos strokes Daniel's hair while he's asleep.
[19:17] > Hiroshi nods
[19:19] [+Solarchos] The Lupa are generally friendly, but they can play very rough. Their new homeworld is very hostile to Humans.
[19:19] [Hiroshi] I am not human
[19:19] [+Solarchos] I haven't been there, but based on what Miara's told me it sounds like what my people would call a Death World.
[19:23] [+Solarchos] Which means that the Lupa homeworld is very dangerous.
[19:24] [+David O'Cain] Yikes.
[19:26] [+Solarchos] But little Daniel here met my children earlier this year and loves to play with them.
[19:26] [+Solarchos] They had so much fun the past two days it's unbelievable.
[19:30] > +Solarchos has pictures of it, too!
[19:30] [Hiroshi] I am going to leave for the night..farewell
[19:30] <-- Hiroshi [yamainu@yamatoedo.com] has left #reddwarfmain
[19:30] [+Solarchos] All right. Take care.
[19:31] [+David O'Cain] See ya.
[19:32] [+David O'Cain] So, how are ya, Solar?
[19:33] [+Solarchos] Doing pretty well. The kits had so much fun playing with Daniel. ^_^
[19:34] [+Solarchos] Naturally the first game they played with him was "Chaloopah". XD
[19:35] [+David O'Cain] Oh yeah?
[19:37] > +Solarchos shows David several pictures of AnTilZha, Alexianna, Catriona, and Sylvester all chasing after Daniel in his fur form, chasing him all over the manse with happy, ecstatic expressions on their faces. Even Daniel looks happy, too.
[19:40] [+David O'Cain] Heh. Glad to see they had a good time.
[19:41] [+Solarchos] They sure did!
[19:42] > +Solarchos shows David the last photo. Daniel has been caught in it! He's lying on the ground with Sylvester sitting on top of him, grinning cutely.
[19:44] [+David O'Cain] Awwww.
[19:45] [+Solarchos] I heard about how Daniel pounced on Taiyo and sat on his chest because he won and he could. Sylvester won the game, so he's sitting on Daniel! XD
[19:46] [+Solarchos] I think Catriona and Alexianna wanted to catch the "Chaloopah" though.
[19:47] [+Solarchos] I'm just waiting for the day one of them starts calling the Lupa "Upah-Lupas". I don't think Miara would like that too much.
[19:47] [+Solarchos] ^Oopah-Lupas
[19:50] [+David O'Cain] Nah, I doubt she would.
[19:52] [+Solarchos] Still, it was nice seeing them have such a great time. I think Inu-Kit had the most fun, watching them and hearing them laughing all throughout the manse.
[19:54] [+David O'Cain] Yep. I'm glad they had fun.
[19:56] [+Solarchos] I do hope Miara can swing by. I don't feel all that comfortable with the idea of leaving Daniel here all by himself.
[19:56] > +David O'Cain nods, "I'm sure she'll come.
[20:00] [+Solarchos] How about you?
[20:01] [+David O'Cain] I'm doing alright. Been trying my best to relax.
[20:04] [+Solarchos] It's a good thing that it's been so peaceful for a while now. I stil find myself getting anxious about that sometimes.
[20:05] [+David O'Cain] Yeah?
[20:08] [+Solarchos] Back in the Imperial Guard they have an old saying. "Switching to peacetime is a hard slog".
[20:09] [+David O'Cain] I see.
[20:12] [+Solarchos] I still kinda think the MKA has had it easy for the most part. If you don't mind me asking, what did Azumi have to say about the MKA's battles against the Imperium during the Egae Crusade? Too easy or hard as hell?
[20:13] [+David O'Cain] I think she felt the fighting was tough.
[20:14] [+David O'Cain] But what made you think we in the MKA had it easy?
[20:18] [+Solarchos] Just wondering. I say they had it easy because it seems like its been a long time since the MKA as a whole has faced an extremely dangerous foe.
[20:21] [+David O'Cain] Well, when we first fought them on Unmei, they were a pain in the ass. I mean, sure the Imperial Guard were easy to take down, but they were numerous.
[20:22] [+Solarchos] Heh, especially since you'd been upgraded with enhanced weapons.
[20:24] [+David O'Cain] No s[BLEEP]t, man. Those Heavy Storms really did the trick.
[20:25] [+Solarchos] That they did.
[20:28] [+David O'Cain] And I'm glad we kept them in service, too. But the regular army of the Imperium really were jittery being around us.
[20:31] [+Solarchos] Yup. Your people certainly performed pretty well. I'm just hoping they can do just as well when the next threat finally appears.
[20:32] [+David O'Cain] I'm sure we'll do well.
[20:35] [+David O'Cain] Anyway, just why were the Imperial Guard so jittery around us?
[20:39] [+Solarchos] Probably because of everything else that was going on around them. That war WAS pretty hairy and hectic.
[20:40] [+David O'Cain] I see.
[20:43] [+Solarchos] God...the Skaven... ><;;
[20:43] [+Solarchos] Those bastards freak ME out a little bit.
[20:45] [+David O'Cain] Those f[BLEEP]kers were quick, but sometimes not quick enough.
[20:46] [+Solarchos] Nasty though. Devious. And they sure as hell did NOT fight fair.
[20:47] [+David O'Cain] No s[BLEEP]t. Is there ANY way of killing them all in one shot?
[20:51] --> Anna Rhea (uniform) has joined #reddwarfmain
[20:51] [@HOL_6000] Welcome aboard, Anna Rhea (uniform)
[20:51] > Anna Rhea (uniform) walks in with a briefcase
[20:51] [+Solarchos] Besides pouring a ten million barrels of gasoline underground and creating the mother of all fuel-air explosives? We'd have to drain all the oil in the Middle East to do that.
[20:51] > +Solarchos looks at Anna Rhea
[20:51] ➣ Anna Rhea: wears her greenish hair in a pony, and often has goggles on top of her forehead. Currently a private first class in the MKA.
[20:51] [+Solarchos] Hi there.
[20:51] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] good evening, sirs ^_^
[20:52] [+David O'Cain] Hello.
[20:52] > Anna Rhea (uniform) puts the briefcase down!
[20:53] > Anna Rhea (uniform) salutes "Private first class Anna Rhea"
[20:53] [+Solarchos] I don't think I've seen you before. Is this your first time here?
[20:53] [+David O'Cain] Nice to meet you, Anna.
[20:55] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] I'm a member of the first heavy infantry..and the R&D deparment ^^
[20:56] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] pleasure to meet you both!
[20:56] [+Solarchos] The R&D section? I remember them from before the Egae Crusade. They were able to study huge amounts of offworld technology.
[20:57] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] I'm curretnly redeveloping weapons for the heavy infentry units
[20:57] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] since it seems the MKA is short on them
[20:58] [+David O'Cain] What have you recommended?
[20:59] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] well...we're working on a new kind of gun...
[20:59] [+Solarchos] Well, the MKA wasn't exactly short on heavy weapons. But most of those heavy weapons were ones they got from the Imperial Guard.
[20:59] [+Solarchos] And the special weapons the Ghosts of the Moon used were pretty bulky.
[21:01] > Anna Rhea (uniform) opens the briefcase..which is empty
[21:01] [+Solarchos] Forget something?
[21:02] > Anna Rhea (uniform) puts her hand in the middle of the case..and a holographic display bursts into focus
[21:02] [+David O'Cain] Whoa. Cool!
[21:03] [+Solarchos] Very nice.
[21:03] > +Solarchos moves closer and examine the briefcase more carefully.
[21:03] > Anna Rhea (uniform) moves the display around a bit "here we go...."
[21:04] > Anna Rhea (uniform) 's briefcase seems perfectly empty..with no disernable way for it to project this iamge
[21:04] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] *image
[21:05] [+David O'Cain] So, what are we looking at?
[21:05] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] the XM-Zera....
[21:06] > Anna Rhea (uniform) 's display comes into focus..showing a large cylander with displays on the side..but has no trigger what so ever
[21:06] [+David O'Cain] Which is?
[21:07] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] powered by a small battery of Z-Neutrino energy....funneled through a core of plasma..
[21:08] [+Solarchos] What's the lifespan of the battery at full power?
[21:08] > Anna Rhea (uniform) moves her finger along the display, which expands on the image
[21:08] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] 2 years
[21:09] [+David O'Cain] That's rather powerful.
[21:09] [+Solarchos] That's not too bad. How easy is it to keep this thing running?
[21:10] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] well we're working on a replaceable battery for it
[21:10] [+David O'Cain] Oooh. So, what is this thing, anyway?
[21:10] > Anna Rhea (uniform) looks at david as if it's the simplest thing in the world...
[21:11] [+David O'Cain] What?
[21:11] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] it's a gun
[21:11] [+Solarchos] Two years isn't bad though. Back in the Imperium I know there are hololithic projectors that are thousands of years old, but they're huge things the size of a small car.
[21:11] [+David O'Cain] Oh really? I really haven't seen anything like this before.
[21:11] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] oh...do you mean the holographic display?
[21:12] > +Solarchos nods to Anna.
[21:12] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] oh this thing will last for 20 years
[21:12] [+Solarchos] Where I'm from we call holographic displays "hololithics". It's just the language and terminology my people use.
[21:13] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] the technology gleaned from the Mimiru ship shot down was rather throughoh
[21:13] [+Solarchos] How durable is this display unit?
[21:14] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] you could drop a granade on it without a scrach
[21:14] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] now are we here for the holograph or here for the gun, sir?
[21:14] [+Solarchos] Impressive.
[21:14] [+Solarchos] All right. Tell us more about that gun.
[21:15] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] unlike most weapons...the trigger is within the gun itself
[21:15] > Anna Rhea (uniform) points to one end of the cylander
[21:16] [+David O'Cain] I was gonna ask, if this is a gun where's the trigger?
[21:17] [+Solarchos] How powerful is that gun?
[21:17] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] one shot can penetrate about 16 inches of armor
[21:18] [+Solarchos] What kind of armor though? Regular armor-grade steel?
[21:18] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] ..almost any armor..with some exceptions
[21:18] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] treated with magic for instance
[21:19] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] right now we have simply prepared a prototype..it's still in testing
[21:20] [+David O'Cain] Nice. But wow, 16 inches of armor piercing power. Holy s[BLEEP]t.
[21:20] [+Solarchos] Hmmm, well not all armor materials are the same. Ultimately we'll have to test that thing out to find out just how well it performs.
[21:21] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] we are still going through the wreckage for further tech
[21:23] [+Solarchos] An inch of high-grade steel can stop a 50-caliber bullet pretty well, but biphase carbide can give the same level of protection with a quarter of the thickness.
[21:23] [+Solarchos] Still, I'm interested in seeing how well that gun's testing goes.
[21:23] > Anna Rhea (uniform) closes her briefcase, shutting off the display
[21:25] [+David O'Cain] So, what else has been going on, Anna? Also, what's your take on the M372?
[21:25] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] M372?
[21:25] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] hmm..let me see if I remember
[21:26] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] oh yes...well..I think it could use a few more works on it
[21:27] [+David O'Cain] Like what?
[21:27] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] maybe make it's reaction time a bit quicker
[21:28] [+Solarchos] I was thinking maybe find ways to make the M372 design lighter. Those things are awfully heavy.
[21:29] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] yes...that would work wonders on it
[21:29] [+David O'Cain] Hmm.
[21:30] [+Solarchos] Or maybe just redesign it so their weight is better distributed? They're so compact that all of their mass is concentrated into a pretty small package.
[21:31] [+Solarchos] Making the design larger to spread out the mass might make them easier to work with. Just a thought.
[21:32] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] hmm...perhaps...send me the designs if possible..I think I have a solution
[21:33] [+David O'Cain] Awesome.
[21:34] [+Solarchos] I'll start working on it. In the meantime, I should get going for the night.
[21:34] [+Solarchos] Nice meeting you, Private Rhea.
[21:34] [+David O'Cain] See ya, Solar.
[21:36] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] goodnight, sir
[21:36] > +Solarchos very carefully picks up little Daniel in his arms, making certain to wrap him up in the blanket. "I don't think Miara would object to Daniel staying an additional night with the kits. He's already fast asleep now."
[21:37] <-- +Solarchos has left #reddwarfmain (Let's go, Daniel! You get to snuggle in with the kits for the night and have steak in the morning for breakfast again!)
[21:37] [+David O'Cain] So, how are you, Anna?
[21:38] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] oh I'm well, sir
[21:38] [+David O'Cain] That's good.
[21:39] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] just doing my job
[21:39] [+David O'Cain] Cool. What else has R&D been cooking up?
[21:40] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] well...some of this stuff is pretty hush hush
[21:41] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] ..actually I shouldn't have told you about that wreckage either..
[21:42] [+David O'Cain] Wreckage?
[21:42] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] about two weeks ago....the base at which Sgt. Tika Hoshi was based was attacked..
[21:43] [+David O'Cain] WHAT?! How come an alert wasn't raise?! O_o
[21:43] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] it was on orders from Sgt. Tika, sir
[21:44] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] the creatures were called the Mimiru....they had come to try and create a forward base in the solar system
[21:45] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] Sgt. Tika and her unit held them off..and destroyed their ship
[21:46] [+David O'Cain] I...I see.
[21:46] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] she then decided to scavage what could be found from the ship...and told us not to report it as of yet..
[21:48] [+David O'Cain] These...Mimiru. What the hell are they?
[21:49] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] from what we saw..they were in some sort of diving like suit....we couldn't see their real faces
[21:50] [+David O'Cain] Weird.
[21:51] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] what was gleaned from the ship is being sent to R&D for further study
[21:51] [+David O'Cain] I see. So, do you think some of this stuff will work for us?
[21:52] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] that is what we are looking at
[21:53] [+David O'Cain] Gotcha. So, whereabouts you from?
[21:54] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] originally, sir...jupiter...sir
[21:54] [+David O'Cain] Nice. So's a friend of mine.
[21:56] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] oh? sir?
[21:57] [+David O'Cain] Yep. Ryoko Mitsurugi's originally from there.
[22:06] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] oh yes...I remember that
[22:08] [+David O'Cain] You okay?
[22:09] [+David O'Cain] Er, nevermind.
[22:10] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] no I'm fine sir
[22:10] [+David O'Cain] Anyway, how're you liking being part of R&D?
[22:14] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] I enjoy it, sir
[22:15] [+David O'Cain] Good. ^_^
[22:17] [+David O'Cain] Care for something to drink?
[22:27] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] I'm not sure if I should on duty, sir
[22:28] [+David O'Cain] Doesn't have to be alcoholic.
[22:33] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] I suppose I can do with that
[22:34] [+David O'Cain] Whatcha want?
[22:35] > ~~ looks at Anna Rhea
[22:35] ➣ Anna Rhea: wears her greenish hair in a pony, and often has goggles on top of her forehead. Currently a private first class in the MKA.
[22:43] [+David O'Cain] So, water, tea? Maybe coffee?
[22:47] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] tea
[22:49] > +David O'Cain gets some tea brewing
[22:51] [+David O'Cain] How're you liking being in the MKA? I like being part of a kick ass army.
[22:54] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] I enjoy the tech work
[22:55] [+David O'Cain] That's good. Oh, anything new regarding our M16A4s and REC-7s?
[22:57] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] not that I have heard, sir..I mostly work in the development department of it...well..the new tech branch
[22:58] [+David O'Cain] Ah. I wasn't sure if there was something like better power packs or what for them.
[23:08] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] I'm not sure ^^;;;
[23:09] [+David O'Cain] Didn't hurt to ask.
[23:10] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] true, sir
[23:13] > +David O'Cain finally hands Anna her tea, "Sorry for the long wait."
[23:17] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] thank you, sir *sips the tea*
[23:20] [+David O'Cain] You're welcome. Also, feel free to call me David. I mean, we're not really in a military setting here.
[23:22] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] yes, sir
[23:23] [+David O'Cain] Plus, I'm neither in uniform nor armor.
[23:25] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] you are right, sir
[23:26] [+David O'Cain] Right. ^_^;;
[23:27] [+David O'Cain] So, as far as this new info regarding what's going on with Tika's incident, you'll or someone else will let us know what's going on, won't ya?
[23:28] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] yes, sir
[23:31] [+David O'Cain] Still, I can't shake this feeling something's up.
[23:37] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] what do you mean?
[23:39] [+David O'Cain] Well, somehow these Mimiru aren't all that friendly. I mean, why would they even attack us if we have no idea who or what they are.
[23:40] [+David O'Cain] ^?
[23:40] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] they were scavengers from what I understood sir..
[23:42] [+David O'Cain] Really?
[23:43] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] yes, sir
[23:44] [+David O'Cain] And they chose Moon Kingdom territory.
[23:46] [+David O'Cain] That's...weird in my opinion.
[23:48] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] perhaps, sir
[23:49] [+David O'Cain] So, the way I see it, instead of them scavaging from us, we pulled a reversal on them.
[23:52] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] you could say that, sir *smiles*
[23:53] > +David O'Cain gets a glass of whiskey and raises it, "Heh, to victory."
[23:53] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] I suppose, sir *sips her tea*
[23:59] > +David O'Cain drinks
[00:00] >>> Monday Dec 21 2009 <<<
[00:01] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] perhaps I should go back to my base, sir
[00:02] [+David O'Cain] Alright, Anna. Be safe.
[00:02] [Anna Rhea (uniform)] you as well, sir
[00:02] <-- Anna Rhea (uniform) has left #reddwarfmain
[00:06] > +David O'Cain sips the whiskey
[00:19] [+David O'Cain] Well, just me now.

[20:45] --> David O'Cain has joined #reddwarfmain
[20:45] >>> @HOL_6000 sets mode +p to David O'Cain
[20:45] [@HOL_6000] Welcome aboard, +David O'Cain
[20:45] [+David O'Cain] Hey, Solar.
[20:46] [+Solarchos] Oh hey there. Careful. Don't wake up Daniel.
[20:46] [+David O'Cain] No worries.
[20:49] [+David O'Cain] So, what's new?
[20:49] [+Solarchos] Good. The kits loved playing with him, and he was very nice and playful with Inu-Kit, but I think he's ready to go home.
[20:51] [+Solarchos] Well...during a game of "Chaloopah" Inu-Kit got picked as the Chaloopah and Daniel and the kits chased her all over the house.
[20:51] [+David O'Cain] XD
[20:52] [+Solarchos] What's really funny is the Inu-Kit won the game! None of them were able to catch her!
[20:52] [+David O'Cain] No way.
[20:53] [+Solarchos] Yup! She did!
[20:53] [+David O'Cain] Wow.
[20:56] [+Solarchos] Well, Inu-Kit can change herself into a fox, and she knows the house better than any of them.
[20:57] [+David O'Cain] Of course.
[20:59] [+Solarchos] But ultimately good times were had by all. Especially me after Inu-Kit declared me the "Chaloopah"! XD
[21:01] [+David O'Cain] Yeah.
[21:04] [+Solarchos] How about yourself?
[21:04] [+David O'Cain] Doing fine. Been doing a bit of thinking of the ol' 72.
[21:05] [+Solarchos] What about it?
[21:07] [+David O'Cain] Well, I'm just wondering how to make it better. Personally, I thought it was alright.
[21:07] [+Solarchos] Did you have anything specific in mind?
[21:08] [+David O'Cain] Not really. I was wondering what you had in mind. Maybe from Anna also.
[21:10] [+Solarchos] Well, from what I saw it was pretty heavy, even though we scaled it down as much as possible to reduce the weight. But it still doesn't change the fact that you guys based it off Astartes heavy bolters and tried to pack it all into something the size of a storm-bolter.
[21:11] [+Solarchos] Ultimately it had quite a bit of mass and that made it a bit unwieldy for anyone now wearing power armor.
[21:11] [+David O'Cain] Can you blame us for trying? :/
[21:12] [+Solarchos] Not at all.
[21:12] [+Solarchos] I'm just thinking that there might be a few things we could do to redistribute its overall mass.
[21:13] [+David O'Cain] Gotcha.
[21:16] [+David O'Cain] What'd you have in mind?
[21:17] [+Solarchos] So we can at least experiment with the design at least.
[21:18] [+Solarchos] Maybe see if we can add additional features like auto-targeters or other nice goodies. ^_^
[21:18] [+David O'Cain] Oooo. I like that. Besides auto-targeters, whatcha got?
[21:20] [+Solarchos] I was thinking possibly experimenting with a version of the automatic jam-clearing systems that are universal with the Reaper-pattern autocannons, but those are two entirely different weapons. Still, it might be fun to look into it.
[21:22] [+Solarchos] Anyway, enough shop-talk for tonight at least. What else has been happening today?
[21:22] --> Pantea [pantea@lightanddark.com] has joined #reddwarfmain
[21:22] [@HOL_6000] Welcome aboard, Pantea
[21:23] > +Solarchos looks at Pantea
[21:23] ➣ Pantea: A girl in a dark gray and green catsuit, she has dark braided hair and a pair of sleek sunglasses somewhere on her person.
[21:23] [+David O'Cain] Oh, you know. Pretty much going around the world wrangling crooks.
[21:24] [+Solarchos] Hi Pantea.
[21:24] [Pantea] Hi
[21:24] > +Solarchos gently strokes Daniel's hair while he sleeps.
[21:25] [+Solarchos] How are you tonight, Pantea?
[21:26] [Pantea] Alright.
[21:26] [+David O'Cain] Hello.
[21:26] [Pantea] Waiting for school to be over until January.
[21:26] [+Solarchos] That bad?
[21:27] [Pantea] It's boring.
[21:28] [+Solarchos] Yeah, but it's also kind of necessary.
[21:29] [Pantea] Not anymore. Most subjects haven't changed, you know.
[21:30] > +David O'Cain nods
[21:30] [+Solarchos] Perhaps, but a lot of the subjects are still applicable.
[21:31] [+David O'Cain] Indeed.
[21:31] [Pantea] Yeah, well, I already know a lot of them. And it's always been easy. But now I'm mostly just bored,.
[21:32] [+Solarchos] You're bored because they're too simple for you?
[21:33] [Pantea] I dunno. I just don't like it anymore.
[21:34] [+Solarchos] Have you thought of applying for AP classes?
[21:35] [Pantea] What for? I'm going to be a bartender.
[21:36] [+Solarchos] Even bartenders need to know a little bit about everything. Especially when it comes to math, accounting, and economics.
[21:36] [+David O'Cain] AND the science of making the right drink.
[21:37] [Pantea] Yeah, and I've remembered most of it already.
[21:37] [+Solarchos] Hmmmm, what grade are you in currently?
[21:39] [Pantea] 9th
[21:39] [+Solarchos] Yeah, you definitely need to finish high school at the very least.
[21:40] [Pantea] Well yeah.
[21:41] [+Solarchos] Then you'll have to get some real world experience. Still, you might be able to get some practical experience after school if you know a bar owner who'd be willing to help you out with that.
[21:41] [Pantea] I'm not stupid you know. But I was 26 when I died and going through this stage again was never something I wanted to do.
[21:43] [+Solarchos] Well, I didn't know you were reincarnated like that. That's...certainly unusual.
[21:43] [+David O'Cain] Yikes.
[21:43] [Pantea] ...we ALL were?
[21:43] [Pantea] How'd you think we all knew each other from the Silver Millennium?
[21:44] [+David O'Cain] You were. I was in a capsule SLEEPING the years and/or millennium away.
[21:44] [Pantea] Yeah well you're different. And I wasn't talking about you.
[21:45] [+Solarchos] Yeah, but I've never heard of anyone dying and coming back, what? Ten, twelve years younger than before.
[21:46] [Pantea] We were reborn?
[21:47] [+Solarchos] Still. I've never heard of anything like that happening to the other Senshi. Weird.
[21:47] [Pantea] It seems to have worked differently with different ones of us.
[21:47] > +Solarchos pats Daniel gently. "Can you guys watch Daniel until Miara comes to pick him up and bring him home?"
[21:48] [+Solarchos] It was great having him as a guest, but he should be back home with his family again.
[21:49] > +Solarchos gives little Daniel one last scratching behind his ears and heads on out.
[21:49] [Pantea] So why don't you just tell her he's here?
[21:50] [+Solarchos] She hasn't been here for a couple of days now.
[21:51] > Pantea sighs
[21:52] [+Solarchos] Hmmm, still...I just don't feel comfortable leaving him by himself.
[21:52] [Pantea] Tell him to tell Miara.
[21:52] [+Solarchos] Tell Daniel you mean?
[21:53] [Pantea] Yes.
[21:53] > +Solarchos nods.
[21:53] > Pantea goes behind the bar and mixes something up
[21:53] [+David O'Cain] I'll be here as long as I can, Solar.
[21:54] > +Solarchos kneels down and gently tries to wake Daniel without startling him. "Hey Daniel! We're back at the Dwarf."
[21:54] [+Solarchos] I'm not sure where Miara is though, Daniel. Can you find her?
[21:55] > Daniel[fur] blinks at Solar, and flops over on another cushion
[21:55] > +Solarchos gives Daniel a good-bye scratching beneath his snout. "You stay safe and take it easy, and whenever you want you can come stay with us again."
[21:56] > Daniel[fur] grins, and waves his tail
[21:56] > +David O'Cain waves to Daniel
[21:56] [+Solarchos] Did you have fun playing with the kits all that time, little guy?

[00:41] [+Matsumi Kaze (robe)] I think the toughest to shop for was Setsuna........
[00:42] [Kaede Sasaki (PJ's)] Well of course Setsuna-sama would be difficult to shop for
[00:43] [+David O'Cain] Hard to get something for someone that's got everything?
[00:44] [Kaede Sasaki (PJ's)] More like, she knows what you're gonna' buy before you buy it....s o she's never surprised.
[00:44] [+David O'Cain] Huh. No wonder.

[00:48] [+Matsumi Kaze (robe)] what would you get her, kaede?

[01:03] [+Matsumi Kaze (robe)] then I'd probably get caught in it XD
[01:04] [+David O'Cain] I've been checking weather back home, and it looks like rain's gonna hit first before snow falls.
[01:06] [+Matsumi Kaze (robe)] heh wouldn't it be fun to play in the snow?

[21:10] [+Matsumi Kaze (1800s dress)] it was an unusually cold building. Scrooge himself had a small fire..but his clerk had what seemed like one small coal...
[21:10] > Aratasujou waves back, but keeps quiet and continues to listen.
[21:10] [+Matsumi Kaze (1800s dress)] and whenever the clerk came in with a shovel...his master would predict it would be soon for them to part...

[21:12] [+Matsumi Kaze (1800s dress)] “ Christmas a humbug! you don't mean that? ”
[21:13] [+Matsumi Kaze (1800s dress)] “ I do...what right do you have to be merry..you're rich enough!! ”

[21:24] [+Matsumi Kaze (1800s dress)] as Fred left, two rather..portly, smiling gentlemen walked in and turned towards Scrooge

[21:25] [+Matsumi Kaze (1800s dress)] “ ...mister marely has been dead for seven years...he died seven years ago this very night... ”

[21:31] [+Matsumi Kaze (1800s dress)] “ ...I wish to be left alone......I don't make merry myself..and as you ask, I help to support those establishments I have mentioned..so they should go there.... ”
[21:31] [+Matsumi Kaze (1800s dress)] “ ..many can't go there...and many would rather die... ”
[21:32] [+Matsumi Kaze (1800s dress)] "...well if they rather die..they better do it..and decrease the surplus population..."
[21:32] [+Matsumi Kaze (1800s dress)] “ ..good afternoon sir... ”
[21:33] [+Matsumi Kaze (1800s dress)] both men solumnly left..as the bell tolled 7...all other businesses had closed early today..except for Scrooge.....

[21:38] [+Matsumi Kaze (1800s dress)] now then.....there was nothing petaculerly unusual about the knocker on the door...except that it was quite large..
[21:38] [+Matsumi Kaze (1800s dress)] and Scrooge had seen it..both day and night..for every day and night...
[21:39] [+Matsumi Kaze (1800s dress)] ..so tell me....if you could...how when scrooge looked at the knocker..he saw..not a knocker..but..

[01:24] [Yaten Kou] hmm?
[01:25] [Minako Aino (PJs)] A small place in Kyoto.. what was the attendance again, Manager-san?
[01:26] [Yaten Kou] ...all those autographs we had to sign
[01:26] [+David O'Cain] Got writer's cramp?
[01:27] [Minako Aino (PJs)] At least it wasnt for one of your old shows... multiply that by ten.

[01:33] [Yaten Kou] too tired to get into bed
[01:33] [Minako Aino (PJs)] Thats... really tired o_o
[01:33] [Nephrite] Wow

[01:36] [+David O'Cain] Caffiene buzz, huh?
[01:36] [Minako Aino (PJs)] Yikes..
[01:37] [Yaten Kou] it probably wasn't very smart of me to do that
[01:38] [+David O'Cain] Yeah, probably not. When did you have the coffee.
[01:38] > Nephrite finishes making the drinks, "margeritas anyone?"
[01:38] [+David O'Cain] ^?
[01:38] [+David O'Cain] Sure, I'll take one, Neph.
[01:39] [Minako Aino (PJs)] Haiiii

[19:38] [Naftis Katheti] Actually, I spent most of the day working on Galactica. I have knowledge of the holiday, but really no idea on how to celebrate it.
[19:39] [Setsuna Meioh] usually people celebrete it with their family..
[19:39] > Naftis Katheti sighs.
[19:40] [Naftis Katheti] I havent had a family since long before I met Chaos... or a real home.
[19:40] [Setsuna Meioh] I haven't been to my parents house for many years
[19:42] [Setsuna Meioh] they say I shouldn't visit them
[19:43] [Naftis Katheti] They?
[19:44] [Setsuna Meioh] yes..they..my parents
[19:46] [Setsuna Meioh] they wish me to forge my own life *smiles slightly*
[19:46] > Setsuna Meioh sips her drink
[19:47] [Naftis Katheti] ...and never see them at all? Thats rather sad.

[19:48] [Naftis Katheti] Mmm... Still... well, you have the other Senshi of your system, I suppose.
[19:49] [Setsuna Meioh] quite...
[19:49] [Setsuna Meioh] also..
[19:50] [Setsuna Meioh] during this holiday you often give gifts to your friends and family
[19:50] [Naftis Katheti] Yes, I saw the pile of gifts under the tree.
[19:53] [Setsuna Meioh] as well as often eating with friends and family...some even sing songs
[19:55] [Naftis Katheti] So really, not a holiday for the likes of us...
[19:56] [Setsuna Meioh] I do have a family to celebrate with...
[19:58] [Naftis Katheti] Uranus, Neptune and Saturn?

[21:02] [Naftis Katheti (Ribbon)] Its not a name thats good to know... or at least, its in need of some cleaning up. I am not from this world, so my name isnt Egyptian.
