Start of #Youkai buffer: Thu Oct 22 21:46:19 2009 [18:42:43] [It's now saturday] [18:43:01] [Yesterday, Megumi and Emmy practiced lines for the play more. MEgumi's getting pretty good at it. She's also getting pretty fast.] [18:43:27] [Kentaro and Miki went off into the woods for a while] [18:44:07] [We begin our session at lunch. Today isn't a particularly rainy day.] [18:44:19] [Session Start] [18:44:59] * For those buying food, the cafeteria's selling ramen today. [18:46:01] * Megumi approaches the table with her lunch, looking around suspiciously. [18:46:17] * Today, no one is trying to get at Megumi's seat. [18:46:26] * Emmy had told Megumi yesterday that she'll be preparing for Megumi's practice after school that day and will miss lunch because of it, but she's to go outside to the courtyard after school. [18:47:11] * Kentaro heads towards his table, his backpack over one shoulder, and takes out his lunchbox full of food scraps [18:47:13] * Megumi takes one more look around, nods with satisfaction, and takes a seat. [18:51:57] [Lunch passes by pleasantly.] [18:52:00] [After school...] [18:53:24] * Where are people? [18:53:28] * Emmy is in the courtyard, standing in the middle of a drawn rectangle the size of the stage the drama club is going to use. On the ground around her are many lines connected by small pebbles. [18:55:41] * Megumi walks out to the courtyard and looks around. "So is this the obstacle course?" [18:56:24] * Emmy waves Megumi over. "Sort of. Come in." [18:58:54] * Megumi walks over. "What do I do?" [19:01:07] * Emmy explains as she goes through some weird hand-signs. "I made this kekkai out of my spiritual powers. When activated, it creates a solid wall of spiritual power along all the lines so that non-humans cannot pass. Today, we'll be training in this." She finished by bitting her finger and flicking a speck of blood on a larger rock where she was standing. [19:02:13] * Megumi blinks. "You're kidding, right?" [19:03:21] * Emmy shrugs. "Maybe, but remember I'm a shinto priestest training in this kind of thing." She makes an act of leaning an arm on thin air along one of the lines. [19:05:30] * Megumi reaches out and 'pushes' at the air above one of the lines. [19:06:13] * Emmy comments, "Just to mention, but all those places are where the props will be, so running past them wouldn't work out in the end anyways." [19:06:31] * Alt-Eisen is now known as Jan_Goku [19:08:51] * Emmy asks, "So... you think you can catch me in this with the same requirements?" [19:09:10] * The line seems to be solid. [19:09:26] * She wonders if she can punch down something that isn't physically there. [19:14:51] * Megumi pushes harder, then nods to Emmy. "Sounds fun. You're on." [19:16:06] * Emmy says, "Don't push too hard on it. Even though I say it's a kekkai, it's pretty shoddy and quickly made stuff so it's easy to break. But it'll allow you to know where things are." She then skipped in a few directions and started from chapter 1. [19:17:59] * Megumi dashes into the maze and starts reciting her next line, but trails off for a second and glances down at her script, blundering face first into a wall in the process. [19:20:21] * Emmy on the other hand, is reciting the script and sometimes even taunting Megumi by standing behind a 'prop'. However, her recital is bland and without affection, often glancing at a reminder sheet she had in hand. [19:22:10] * The wall shimmers a little. [19:24:17] * Megumi glares at the air in front of her, then dashes back into the maze. [19:29:33] * Emmy has a good advantage of knowing where the walls are (being the one who set them up), and uses that advantage ruthlessly. However, she occasionally would put a hand on a wall to remind Megumi there's a wall between them. [19:32:40] * Adyen (senranda@74.12.128.117) has joined #Youkai [19:33:42] * Megumi seems to be learning where the walls are a bit quicker than she's actually learning her lines. [19:34:13] * Emmy (senranda@74.12.121.45) Quit (Ping timeout: 180 seconds) [19:42:16] * Adyen is now known as Emmy [19:44:07] * Megumi runs into a conundrum. She seems to have somehow gotten herself boxed in. [19:45:06] ... [19:45:13] H-hey! [19:45:48] * Megumi bangs on the walls like a very angry mime in a glass box. [19:45:57] * Emmy blinks and stops. "Did you just somehow run BEHIND the lines?" She asks incrediously. [19:46:57] * Emmy looks at the ground where supposedly a square was to act as a large boulder and notices one corner was sort of fuzzing out. "Oh geez." She mutters. [19:49:07] * Megumi continues to hammer on the walls. "What's going on?! Lemme out!" [19:50:33] * Emmy goes up to one of the walls and says, "Hold on, hold on..." She waves her fingers in an intricate design and then pushed it against a wall to dispel it. "Geez... I guess that's it for today..." [19:58:13] * Megumi flops down on the ground with a sigh. "I don't think I wanna do _that_ again." [20:00:06] * Emmy shrugs. "I'm impressed. You somehow broke through the wall without realizing it. Anyways, I had to take down the entire thing to free you, so we can't anyways. Want to go find the others?" [20:02:30] Yeah, let's do that. [20:14:42] [So...] [20:18:02] [Never mind, let's sliptime.] [20:18:16] [If you go to Bean Around, KIkuko says Kentaro left for the game center] [20:18:26] [If you call him, you find out he's at the game center] [20:29:15] * Megumi wanders into the game center a while later, looking around for Kentaro. [20:31:01] * Kentaro looks up, a pair of skee-balls in hand. "Hey, Megumi!" [20:31:18] * Jan_Goku reaches down to take his tickets, looking over at Kentaro from behind as he does [20:32:42] * Kentaro waves, grinning [20:33:44] * Jan_Goku stands up [20:37:22] * Emmy is now known as Adyen [20:37:30] * Adyen is now known as AFK_Adyen [20:38:48] * Berny (mahamari@adsl-71-138-135-199.dsl.pltn13.pacbell.net) has joined #Youkai [20:41:09] * AFK_Adyen (senranda@74.12.128.117) Quit (Quit: Client Exited) [20:43:38] Hey Kentaro. 'sup? [20:43:56] * Megumi walks over to the skee-ball machines [20:44:15] Oh, not much. Playing some skee-ball, and I think that guy's a monkey. [20:44:24] * Berny is walking down the street with a few shopping bags when she spots the game center and glances in the window. [20:45:06] A monkey? [20:45:12] * Jan_Goku makes a face at Kentaro behind his back [20:45:16] * Berny sees Kentaro. [20:45:17] * Megumi looks to see who Kentaro's talking about. [20:45:22] * Berny just seems to be checking out the games out of curiosity when she spots some familiar faces and pushes through the doors. [20:45:28] * Jan_Goku stops making the face [20:45:55] Hey, guys! Didn't think to see you here. [20:47:10] Hey, Berny! What's up? [20:47:38] Nothing much. I was just walking down the street when I saw Kentaro in the window. [20:51:51] * Megumi is a very short (not even five feet tall) but athletic looking girl with shaggy black hair with orange highlights. She's wearing a dark green hoodie over her school uniform and currently has a band-aid on one of her cheeks. [20:52:38] Oh, hey Berny. [20:54:11] * Berny gives Megumi a smile and a little wave. [20:57:21] * Berny is pretty darn short herself - maybe an inch or less over five feet - but is a tad taller than Megumi. Her straight, lavender hair falls about to her shoulders and is held away from her face by a couple rabbit hair clips. Overall, she's very small-boned and somewhat childlike in build, despite that she's 17 years old. [20:59:30] * Kentaro looks over to the new guy. "Hey, Saru, what's up?" [20:59:48] "Saru?" [21:00:17] * Megumi blinks. "Wait, you know this guy?" [21:00:37] Nah, but I know he's part of a club, if you get my drift. [21:00:39] "Oh! Just playing skee-ball" [21:01:04] ...huh? [21:01:20] "What's up with you?" [21:01:25] * Megumi appears to be thinking this over. And then finally "...oh. Oooooh." [21:02:39] Same thing, but I can't help but notice - and please, don't be offended by this observation - how strange you smell. [21:03:24] "Eh? Maybe I need to change cologne" [21:06:07] "What do I smell like?" [21:07:18] * Kentaro shrugs. "I dunno, man. Maybe an old fox knows, but frankly, I haven't smelled that many people." [21:07:42] But, and stop me if I'm wrong, odds are you're some kind of simian. [21:08:48] "Simian?" [21:09:07] ...what's a simian? [21:09:21] "Sim sim sala bim?" [21:10:39] It's... Uh... [21:10:48] * Kentaro points to a Donkey Kong machine wordlessly. [21:11:44] "....That's an ape" [21:13:59] "And that's an old machine. Wowee, what is that two decades ago?" [21:14:56] * Megumi looks Jan over. "He doesn't really look like a monkey to me." [21:15:26] * It certainly is a venerably machine. [21:15:37] "Well I have been known to monkey around on occasion" [grins] [21:15:44] Well, they are one of the more clever animals. [21:15:57] * Berny can see that the kami on the older machines seem to be more solidly-formed. Which makes sense. [21:16:56] "So get to the point. What's this about?" [21:22:32] Not much, I was pretty much just saying hi, and welcoming you to the neighborhood, but if you just want to dance around it, I dunno. [21:23:35] "Oh! Well then, I'm Jan. Glad to meetcha!" [21:25:09] * Kentaro extends his hand. "Kentaro. I don't think there's anyone else like you at school, so if you ever need a club, we're your guys." [21:25:23] * Jan_Goku shakes [21:25:36] "What club is this?" [21:26:17] You know, like the redscarves. Or... [21:26:31] * Kentaro taps his glasses. "The attractive people in striking glasses." [21:26:47] * Megumi looks confused. "I thought we were the drama club." [21:26:50] "I see" [21:29:24] "What does your club do?" [21:30:16] * Kentaro bites his lip and paces. "Imagine four balls on the edge of a cliff." [21:30:46] "Four balls...cliff...gotcha" [21:32:19] Now, one of those balls falls off the cliff, and is replaced by an identical duplicate at the far end of the line [21:32:52] The third ball becomes the second, the second becomes the first, the first becomes the fourth, and the fourth falls off a cliff, making the man it's connected to irate. [21:33:05] Thus: We are mythological creatures in high school. [21:33:12] * Megumi stares blankly at Kentaro. [21:33:21] * Jan_Goku stares blankly as well [21:36:20] "I ain't no mythological creature. I'm real" [21:37:57] So am I! [21:38:36] "Then we have stuff in common!" [21:39:01] Awesome! [21:39:13] "Cool!" [21:39:32] Terrific! [21:39:44] "Cowabunga!" [21:40:05] Oh god. [21:40:15] Swank! [21:40:32] "Excellente!" [21:41:25] Lovely! [21:41:33] "Groovy!" [21:42:07] * Megumi turns away from Kentaro and Jan. "So, Berny, you wanna go play a game or something?" [21:45:35] [Session End] End of #Youkai buffer Thu Oct 22 21:46:19 2009
