Start of #Matt buffer: Thu Aug 03 19:53:57 2006 [16:36:54] * Now talking in #Matt [16:37:04] * Matt_Wright (NovaSeaker@cpe-24-168-42-157.si.res.rr.com) has joined #Matt [17:04:06] * Matt_Wright is now known as NovaDinner [17:21:48] * NovaDinner is now known as Matt_Wright [17:24:34] Alright. Before we start the minisession, where might Hisame be after classes are done, so I can set the stage/ [17:26:16] Might be going to check with Peter or Walter to inquire about Maya. [17:27:47] * Charles nods. [17:28:00] Any idea how she might bump into Matt? [17:28:21] Depends on where Matt may be. Maybe he's going to tell the others how Alice is doing or something [17:29:30] You two can work this out between you, I guess [17:29:39] * Hisame nods [17:29:50] She might be going to ask about Alice too. [17:29:53] Your thoughts, Nova/ [17:31:02] Hm [17:31:13] Yeah, Matt would've gone to see how Hisame was doing [17:31:45] Alright [17:32:01] * On the way back to his room, after checking on Alice, Matt runs into Hisame! [17:33:12] Ah... hello. [17:33:32] Hey there! I was just about to go check in on you. [17:33:52] * Hisame nods. [17:34:08] How is Alice? [17:34:41] She's well.. there's alot of psycological stuff she's dealing with. [17:34:55] Apparently Maya gave her a phobia to fire now. [17:35:07] Gert says the Head is getting her some counciling. [17:35:24] Ah... I hope she will be alright... [17:35:51] * Hisame continues on her way. "I need to make sure Maya will be alright so that the note can make it out." [17:36:20] I'll walk with you. [17:36:36] Alright. [17:38:04] * Hisame walks along. "How is Gert?" [17:38:17] She's fine. Worried about her sister but she's takin care of her. [17:38:29] I'm worried about you, really. [17:39:36] You alright? [17:40:48] I believe I will be alright... if the message is delivered, then there will be a chance to talk. [17:41:53] * Matt_Wright nods. [17:42:50] I can't imagine what it feels like, to be summoned by a nine-tails. I imagine it'd come close if the Pope sent a personal messenger to take me to the vatican. [17:44:33] It is... exciting but a bit scary [17:47:13] * Matt_Wright nods. [17:47:27] * You get to the administravtive building and get inside. There's a short flight of steps that lead a half-floor down, and Peter and Millicent are playing a card game at a folding table in front of it. Peter looks up and nods, calling out when you enter. "Hey, good work this morning!" [17:47:27] I'm not exactly sure how I can help, but if you need to talk about it.. [17:47:58] Heh... you should be thanking Karen. I didn't know her powers were that strong. [17:48:14] * Hisame nods... [17:50:47] * He nods. "She did pretty good, yeah. But at least you guys came out to help." [17:51:18] Ah... hello. [17:52:07] * Matt_Wright nods. [17:52:18] Oh yeah. Is it okay is we go in to see Maya? [17:53:38] * Millicent frowns. "There's a faculty member in there now, studying her. I lost track of her an hour or so ago." [17:54:03] Ah... do you know where he is? [17:55:36] * "Behind the door, I guess. I don't really know how deep this rabbit hole goes, but somewhere in there." [17:55:54] * Hisame nods. "Thank you." She moves along [17:56:13] * Matt_Wright nods and waves, following Hisame. [18:02:31] (Are you guys going to do anything else?) [18:03:03] ( She's going into the door to find her, yeah ) [18:04:05] Do you want to come with us? [18:05:12] (Oh, by 'moves along', I kind of figured that you meant in the 'move along, nothing to see here' sense) [18:05:49] ( Ah, whoops ) [18:07:38] * Millicent nods. "I'm curious. Let's head in." She puts her cards down, and gives Peter a folded bill before following. The door leads into an old corridor. It seems like it flooded a while ago, and was never repaired. Bare bulbs twenty feet apart provide light. [18:08:22] ...I feel like we're walking into a prison. [18:08:45] Maybe it is... [18:11:03] * Millicent frowns. "I lost track of the faculty member, too. This is kind of worrying." [18:11:32] ...You think she might've escaped? [18:12:08] * Hisame starts walking faster. [18:12:12] I do not know... [18:13:20] * Matt_Wright picks up the pace to match Hisame's. [18:14:00] * You keep going down the hall. At the very end, you reach a steel ladder that's been bolted to the wall. [18:15:19] * Hisame looks up the ladder. ( Can we see where it ends? ) [18:17:22] * It leads down into another hall. You can probably tell where it is, but the others, with their pitiful human senses, can't. [18:17:56] * Hisame starts moving on the ladder. "It is another hall." [18:18:08] Millicent, have you ever been in parts of the school like this before? [18:18:21] * The next hall down is similar in style, but even less maintained. Water still hasn't drained from it, and there are no lights that you can see. [18:18:56] * She shakes her head. "This is one of the parts we were told was faculty-only. Peter and I were kind of here to keep anyone from doing this." [18:20:01] * Hisame nods [18:21:41] Uh.. huh. [18:21:59] Now I feel special, being an exception to the rule. ^_^; [18:22:20] Alright... I'm starting to feel worried. Anyone ever play a zelda game? [18:22:48] * Hisame shakes her head. [18:23:05] ( Do we need to light torches to make doors open? ) [18:23:35] (You remember the Lost Woods? go down ladder, walk corridor. Go down ladder, walk corridor. Go down ladder...) [18:24:50] (Is anyone going down?) [18:24:58] ( Hisame's already moving on the ladder ) [18:25:30] ( Started pretty much as soon as she saw it. You guys are follwoing, right? D: ) [18:25:51] * Matt_Wright follows Hisame down the ladder next. [18:27:56] * Millicent follows as well. The next hallway is pitch dark, save for a flourescent glow coming from a room on the left at the far end. A shadow plays against the opposite wall, and something under the water sucks at your shoes as you walk [18:28:29] * Hisame moves towards the room on the left. [18:29:29] ..Ew.. [18:29:48] * Matt_Wright follows hisame, his shoes making shucking noises. [18:30:25] * As you get closer, you begin to hear the sounds of a hushed conversation. There seem to be a pair of voices, one male and one female. [18:31:46] ( Would an illusion to make it look/sound like we aren't here be possible? ) [18:33:28] (Sure.) [18:33:55] * Hisame waves her hand. "We are hidden and unheard." [18:33:58] * Hisame moves forward. [18:35:49] ...R-right. [18:36:01] * Matt_Wright follows close behind, still trying to be somewhat stealthy. [18:39:35] * When you get to the room, you see a heavy wooden door, with a barred window. Maya is in the corner, as a man in a labcoat is sitting in a folding chair and asking questions. You recognize him as the freshman earth sciences teacher. In on hand, he holds a long, thin silver cyllender that forks at the end. In the other, he holds a notebook. While the cyllender isn't a pen, he still writes with it. [18:40:22] ( Does Maya look alright? [18:41:39] (Her head is bandaged from when she cracked it against a bench earlier today. If they've hurt her since, they've made care not to leave marks.) [18:45:57] * Matt_Wright turns to Millicent. "What's that guy holding?" [18:51:03] * She peers at it, then shrugs. "Some kind of magic wand, maybe?" [18:52:26] ...right.. [18:52:59] * Hisame watches uneasily and pays close attention to what's going on. [18:56:04] * He seems to be interrogating her. He asks a question, she responds, and he writes in his notebook. Every so often, instead of writing, he motions with the cyllender and she convulses and bites back a scream, before he repeats the question. [18:58:22] * Hisame shivers. [18:58:28] ( What is he asking her about? ) [19:00:05] (He's trying to get information about who sent her, how she avoided the wards, and so forth. Most of it seems to be directed towards ways to adjust the wards, but sometimes he diverges) [19:03:51] * Hisame seems torn on what to do. [19:09:26] * Millicent frowns. "We're already someplace we shouldn't be. Breaking out someone who tried to kidnap you from under the nose of one of your teachers seems like a terrible idea, Hisame." [19:10:06] Yeah.. if this is going to strengthen the seals... I think it's worth it... [19:10:19] Besides, they're not really hurting her... just interrogating her.. [19:10:48] I guess... but that stick looks scary. Well, the stick itself is not scary, but the way she acts when it is brought up is scary... [19:14:27] * "You have to pick when you fight. Acting now hurts everyone, but it hurts the two of you most." [19:14:41] * Hisame nods... [19:14:56] Yeah.. I'd rather we try and get the seals to.. you know *work*. [19:17:00] * "Or at least not attack someone you're going to have to see tomorrow morning." [19:18:55] Hey, I wasn't thinking about attacking him. Besides, he's not my teacher. (I'm a sophomore) [19:20:02] I was thinking about making a false copy.. but that would be too risky. [19:24:44] ( Pretty much just going to stand around and hope he doesn't hurt her. ) [19:25:03] (Like, for an indefinite period of time?) [19:25:26] (Eventually you need to go somewhere to eat and sleep. He might not.) [19:26:53] ( Well, unless something unusual happens or he says she's free to go. If anything changes aside from the back and forth talking, really. I guess if it takes a really long while, we'll have to go, though. ) [19:29:03] * You spend several entralling hours watching the teacher alternatively question and hurt Maya until you realize that he's settled in for a much longer run than you are. Eventually, you decide to get some food and sleep instead of spending the rest of your life in a miserable soggy prison-tunnel. [19:29:49] ( Hooray ) [19:29:59] Uhg.. this is going nowhere. [19:30:11] * Hisame heads back towards the school proper. "I cannot watch this anymore..." [19:32:17] * Millicent frowns. "You need to accept that sometimes, you need to wait, Hisame. That was time you could have spent on schoolwork, or working on a plan." [19:32:37] * Hisame nods... [19:35:36] Then maybe waiting was the problem, cause thats what we just wasted time doing. [19:36:26] I guess so. [19:37:43] * You leave the tunnels and get back to the surface of the administrative building. Peter left a long time ago, taking the card table with him. Millicent takes her shoes off before she crosses into the unrestricted upstairs. "You wasted time watching the fox suffer. If you'd chosen to act, then you would have revealed yourselves as students in a restricted area aiding a captive." [19:38:09] Thats not what I meant. [19:38:30] * Matt_Wright shrugs. [19:39:29] I'm sorry Hisame, but she came here and started screwing things up. She said Alice attacked her first, but she's the one that caused the snow everyone went out to investigate. I'm not sure she was telling the truth. [19:39:45] I hsould return to my studies soon, but what should we do in the future? [19:39:52] * Hisame feels lost. [19:40:09] * Matt_Wright turns to Milly. "Can someone notify Hisame before they send Maya on her way?" [19:40:48] * Millicent shrugs. "I can request that they do. I'm not sure what'll happen when they finish. [19:42:00] * Hisame shivers. [19:42:33] * MIllicent looks at Hisame. "If you want to help her, find a time she'll be without an interrogator. Find who you trust, and move. It might be the only way to keep her from suffering." [19:43:32] * Hisame nods. [19:44:37] She half-smiles. "Trying to rescue the woman that was going to kidnap you. Don't they teach you about stranger danger in Japan?" [19:44:42] The wards would be good to be strengthened, but I am worried about what will happen to her after interrogation. [19:44:44] ^^; [19:45:30] I think she's worried about her duty to her kind.. [19:46:13] * Millicent nods, and heads for the door. "It might be better to worry about food and the tunnel-slime right now. Good luck." [19:48:26] Thank yo [19:48:28] +u [19:48:58] * And that looks like a wrap. [19:49:19] * Hisame is now known as Demota [19:49:19] -> *nickserv* identify Myuutsuu [19:49:28] I really didn't want to do anything about getting Maya out without the full group there. [19:49:32] * Demota nods. [19:49:37] That's understandable [19:50:00] I don't want to get her out. >_> [19:50:04] * Matt_Wright is now known as NovaSeaker [19:50:26] Well, Hisame just wants her to tell the answers and get out of the school safely. [19:50:29] It might be good to keep that in mind for future minisessions so people don't spend two hours twiddling their thumbs waiting for something to happen that won't. [19:51:06] Because if she doesn't tell him what he wants to know, he might smoke her. :( [19:51:35] I sometimes wish I could italicise in mIRC, since if I could, I'd respond to Nova saying he doesn't want to get her out with 'In-character conflict!' with italics. [19:51:59] Hahah [19:52:06] Buh? [19:52:17] I'm just saying what my motives were [19:52:35] Ideally, Hisame wants to figure out when she's supposed to be released, then make sure she escapes to the wild just fin [19:52:36] e [19:53:08] in-character conflict is bad or good? I'm not sure if there is or isn't a problem here End of #Matt buffer Thu Aug 03 19:53:57 2006
