Kitami: Is that the only one you were unconscious in? The Nuir were never social by nature, so it must have been a friend who gave you the transfusion.
Shadow: IDK, as I said there is a lot of hospitals.
Lyora: *flicks wrist at Kitami* Go to that hospital and get all the records of all his stays, any mysterious visitors with him, and if you can find them, witnesses.
Kitami: *snaps and is gone*
Mirara: Okay, Shadow, I need to to think carefully now. The Nuir would have looked human in this stage. It would have had amazing power over some force in nature. Most Nuir were kind almost beyond belief, noble, they cared about everyone but spoke to very few. It would have barely talk about itself, but been interested in you and your past. It probably would only had used its powers in a dire emergency, which I've heard you have a knack for getting into. It probably wouldn't have given its full name, either. They usually choose shortnames, between three and six letters. Do you known anyone who fits any, even just one or two, of these traits?
Shadow: Nisa.
Mirara: That sounds about right for a shortened name. Where is this Nisa?
Angel: I talked to her, she and ember are both here.
Mirara: Good. Where the heck is Kitami?
Kitami: *appears holding cabinet* Do you have any idea how many files are in this thing?
Shadow: Uh *looks guilty* I might have been in that hospital. . .a bit often.
Nisa: *sits quietly and smirks*
Kitami: Just a bit? There are six more!
Shadow: *blushes and looks down*
Kitami: Give me something to look for, there's no way I'm carrying anymore!
Nisa: It's file six-four-six gamma, in the backroom. The password is paperfly.
Shadow: *jumps* OMG Nisa! I thought you were dead!
Nisa: I am.
Shadow: Uh ok, so how are you here?
Nisa: *sigh* Ask Angel.
Kitami: *disappears*
Angel: I had Ember get her and ember.
Mai: *looks at ember* Hiya! I'm Mai!
ember: Hi! *disappears and Mai feels poked in the back* *giggles and reappears*
Mai: Cool! I'm a half-immortal, what're you?
ember: I'm a ghost!
Mai: Cool!
Kitami: *appears, looking irritated* There was a second password! It set me on fire! Unfair!
Mirara: Did you get the file?
Kitami: *holds out file, looking incredulous*
Mirara: You're immortal, you'll live.
Kitami: *mutters*
Mirara: *looks through file and frowns. Hands file around the Council*
Amifa: How did a chimera-machine get to that hospital?
Lyora: Irrelevent. It will have to be removed. Soon.
Marriak: *to Nisa* Are you Nuir?
Nisa: . . .Yes. I was.
Kitami: Was?
Nisa: *rolls eye* I'm dead, remember?
Bob: Woah, slow down, so we have ghosts here too, wow. I got a headache now. I can only absorb so much knowledge.
Keko: Then maybe you should leave.
Bob: I will survive, my headache's gone anyway.
Itsari: Good.
Mirara: Kitami, I'm going to give you a choice. You can either go destroy the chimera-machine with your friends, or you can hold down the fort here while we do.
Kitami: Like, take over your job for a while?
Mirara: *nods*
Kitami: Ooh, I like. What about you guys?
Bob: It doesn't matter. What are you doing, Itsari?
Itsari: Whaever Kit-kun does. But being the Council for a while sounds like fun!
Nata: Agreed.
Bob: I can stay. Unless I'm needed.
Kitami: That's four.
Nisa: I'll stay. I don't want to go near that place again.
Kitami: That's five. *looks at Jake and Shadow* You?
Shadow: I'm gonna stay here.
Jake: Whatever. I'll go where I'm needed.
ember: *pouts* I wanna be DNA tested. *looks at Nisa* I thought you were gonna get tested too?
Nisa: *shrugs* Why? I've admitted to what I am.
ember: But DNA testing sounds like fun!
Nisa: Go ahead, then.
Lyora: Very well. Kitami Icasa, on behalf of the Immortal Council, I grant you Governmental Status and leave the Council in your hands until such a time as we return.
Kitami: *nods*
Lyora: *snaps and the Council disappears*
emeber: *tugs on Kitami's hand* Now?
Kitami: Yes, of course. Place your hand on that scanner.
ember: Yay! *runs over and touches scanner*
Kitami: *takes printout* No DNA, not that I expected any.
ember: *pouts* Ooooo. brb. *disappears*
Shadow: What's she up to?
ember: *reappears and holds out a hairbrush* This is from my house. ^.^
Kitami: *sigh* Put it on the scanner.
ember: *puts it on scanner* Now does it work?
Kitami: *picks up printout and hands it to ember* What do you think?
ember: It's got funny shapes on it! Kool!
Kitami: *laughs and passes printout to Shadow* You read it for her.
Shadow: *nods and reads it* She had just two parents and is mortal. Right?
Jake: *laughs* Can't read science stuff, can you, bro?
Shadow: Partially.
Kitami: You're right, at least.
Shadow: *smiles*
ember: *takes paper and sits on floor*
Kitami: Oi, now can we et out of this little room?
ember: Yep.
Kitami: Good. *throws open door*
ember: *goes over to Nisa to follow her*
Jake: *goes out the door* So. . .Nisa is Shadow's donor but, who is mine?
Kitami: It's. . .well, it's quantum entanglement.
Jake: Uh. . . what?
Kitami: *sigh* Okay, how did Harper explain this? You have two atoms/molecules/cells/whatevers and no matter how far apart they get, what's true for one is always true for the other. So if you, say, change the genome sequence in chromosome B in molecule one, and in molecule two, the genome shifts. Not as far, or as much, because it isn't directly affected, b ut some. Which explains why it's next to impossible to tell what your donor was by test, only by evidence.
Jake: So we have to find out, okay.
Kitami: *shakes head* No. By all evidence, it should be the same as Shadow's. Like I said, quantum entanglement.
Jake: Oh, okay.
Kitami: *nods, leaves the dna testing room*
Shadow: *follows Kit*
Kitami: *snaps and several hrone-like chairs come out of the ground* Take a seat, everone. We get to be in charge!
Shadow: *takes right chair* Kool!
Jake: *sits in left chair* I'm hungry.
Kitami: *snaps and large buffet table appears* Why am I the only one who does stuff like this?
Jake: *mumbles that he forgot he could* Thanks.
Kitami: *nods* Mai-chan, go find Tain and go on home.
Mai: Why? I wanna stay here with you, Auntie!
Shadow: *snaps and a table appears with a bottle on it* Hey, I did it.
Kitami: *smirks* Several times. . .I mean, congratulations! Mai, leave now, I'll come visit you later.
Mai: *nods and disappears*
Shadow: Want some? *grins*
Kitami: In the Council? *blinks* Oh, that. . .hehe.
Shadow: *grins*
Kitami: I'll get yelled at if I have alcohol again. All it does is give Tate a headache.
Shadow: Kay.
Kitami: *nods* Okay. *snaps and changes the drink* Now want some?
Kitami: What is it?
Shadow: Sparkling grape juice. ^_^ It's really good.
Kitami: Sure.
Shadow: *purs two glasses* Jake?
Jake: *looks up* No thanks, I'm eating.
Kitami: You can't multitask?
Jake: *shakes head*
Kitami: Why not?
Jake: I'm just not thirsty.
Kitmi: Then why didn't you say that?
Jake: Uh. . .
Kitami: *rolls eyes*
Jake: Nisa, right? Weren't you going to question her?
Kitami: Yeah. . .Anyone but me have any questions for her?
Jake: No.
Shadow: Maybe, but I have to think of one first.
Kitami: Fine then, I'll go first.
Nata: No, I'll go first. It is my primary purpose.
Kitami: Go ahead, then.
Nata: *nods and looks at Nisa* What is your full name?
Nisa: A'nisan'ami'taelyn'alst.
Nata: Do you remember meeting Shadow?
Nisa: Yes.
Nata: When?
Nisa: It was. . .it was many years ago. I don't remember the date. There was a truck, and a hospital.
Nata: Could you be more clear?
Nisa: A truck nearly ran us both over. It hit a tree and burst into flames. I made Shadow help me bring the driver to the hospital. Then he left.
Kitami: The hospital records say you went back.
Nisa: Yes. A little precog kid told me Shadow was in trouble. There were shadow creatures attacking him. We won, but Shadow was injured and I brough him to the hospital. He was taken into a room and I was told to wait.
Nata: And then?
Nisa: I must have fallen asleep. The next thing I remember is it being five hours later, when we left the hospital.
Kitami: A five hour memory gap?
Nata: We should attempt a memory recovery. That could be the result of a mindwipe.
Nisa: A memory recovery? How does that work?
Itsari: I'd take you and Shadow to the memory recovery room and hook you up to a machine that will read and compare them, until it has a full picture.
Nisa: Will it work even though I'm a ghost?
Itsari: Of course.
Nisa: *sigh* I will if he will.
Itsari: Shadow?
Shadow: Okay.
Angel: After, do you think you could get drunk, Shadow? I want to get the effects cause I'm in a bad mood.
Kitami: It shouldn't work. Immortal physiology rejects drugs.
Itsari: *leads Shadow and Nisa away*
Angel: *mumbles* It should work on me though.
Kitami: It should give you a headache.
Angel: (*complaining*) Yeah, I know, but it should do more.
Kitami: *rolls eyes*
Angel: *glares* I am so not in a good mood and I probably shouldn't be complaining here. Does anyone want to see my "essay"?
Nata: Sure. *mouth twitches* I take it you don't like it?
Angel: *grins* It's my english essay.
Nata: Is it finished?
Angel: *grins more*
Nata:: That's not an answer.
Angel: Tate's reading it.
Nata: That's not even an essay!
Angel: I know.
Kitami: Hello? Can we talk about something relevent now?
Angel: Sure.
Kitami: Good. You start.
Angel: Me?
Kitami: Yes, you!
Angel: Fine. . .I'm a cookie!
Kitami: That's relevent?
Angel: *shrugs* Guys are evil sometimes, did you know that?
Kitami: Not my guys, but yes, there are many.
Angel: I'm tired, I'm gonna stop writing and. . .look at my homework.
Kitami: *dryly* Because looking at your homework is a sure cure for tiredness.
Nata: Is tiredness even a word?
Kitami: Does it matter?
Bob: Okay, so I will go see if Itsari needs help, I am kinda bored in here. *starts to walk away*
Itsari: Kit-kun, d'you mind if Bob and I borrow the jet?
Kitami: Handcuffs are in the luggage compartment. *grin*
Itsari: *grin* Thanks!
Bob: Alright! *kisses Itsari on cheek* Catch me if you can.
Itsari: *grin* What do I get if I do?
Bob: You'll see. *disappear*
Itsari: *disappear*
Angel: Wow, look at all the people getting married. Bob and Itsari, Kitami and Shadow, AND. . .Tanya and Reis. >.> Last night she came back from Nevada, pregnant and engaged.
Kitami: Tell Tanya congrats on finally getting a guy.
Tanya: *curtsies* Thank you Tate.
Reis: Hi.
Kitami: Y'ello.
Tate: You sound like Moment.
Tanya: Me?
Tate: No, Kitami. Moment usually greets peole with Y'ello.
Ebeny: *walks in with Tain and Dr. Stearn* Okay so everything got boring so we decided to see what everyone is up to.
Stearn: Who are those two? *points to Tanya and Reis*
Tain: Mai-mai, you shoulda see'd it. That place they go to is so cool!
Mai: Sure it is, Tainy. You shoulda see'd the testin' room.
Mai and Tain: Switchya? *giggle*
Tanya: *looks at Stearn* Don't point at me.
Reis: Switchya?
Mai and Tain: *grin*
Tain: Shortened version of 'switch you'.
Mai: Yeah. Nesstime Tainy's goin' wid Auntie and I'm goin' wid. . .them.
Tain: *nods* Didja get a lession, Mai-mai?
Mai: Jus' history and science. I'll share.
Tain: 'kay.
Stearn: Can I go home to pack now?
Ebeny: Yeah, let's go. Kitami, if you see Bobica, tell her I would like to speak with her.
Kitami: Will do.
Tain: Why's the creepy man packing?
Ebeny: He's moving in with me.
Mai and Tain: Oooh!
Kitami: *hides grin*
Ebeny: Now Kitami, you know I won't do anything. . .Yet! *smiles sheepishly*
Kitami: Have fun. . .eventually. *grin*
Tain: They's talking about growed up things, Mai-mai.
Mai: Lessgo! *disappears*
Tain: *disappears*
Ebeny: That's funny.
Stearn: y the way, I do have a seperate room, right?
Ebeny: Of course. Well, Kitami, I will talk to you later, and by the way, where is Bob? Nevermind, I don't want to know.
Kitami: *cough* WIth Itsari. *cough*
Stearn: Enough said, can we go now?
Ebeny: Ii will drop you off and come back here.
Kitami: Cya!
Tanya: Reis and I are getting married in April, and I'm gonna have a baby in July!
Angel:
Kitami: Lucky.
Tanya: Hey, how come you're not pregnant, Kit"? You've had a lot of sex!
Nata: Eloquently phrased as always, Tanya. . .
Kitami: I can control when I conceive, and I don't know if Shadow wants kids, so. . .
Tanya: What's conceive?
Reis: Do you want kids? If you do, just ask him.
Kitami: It's a fancy word for 'get pregnant.' *rolls eyes* I have. . .thousands of years to have kids if we wants them. I can wait.
Tanya: So you want them!
Kitami: *rolls eyes* No duh.
Tanya and Reis: So tell him. *grin and each other*
Kitami: *dryly* He's sitting right there.
Ebeny: You should tell him. . .See ya! *disappears*
Stearn: Where the hell did she go?
Ebeny: *appears* Oops. . .Wow I'm embarassed. Well, this time maybe I won't forget you. Well, once agains, see everyone later. And I'm being serious and I'm sure everyone wants you to. *grabs Stearns and and disappears*
Kitami: *snickers*
Nata: Shouldn't he have been Yanked after her?
Kitami: Yes, after a few seconds. Time dilation and all that.
Nata: Ah. I see.
Kitami: Sure.
Tanya: OMG, hi Shadow!
Shadow: Huh?
Tanya: *crosses arms* You were sleeping, you dork.
Reis: Kit, when are you getting married to Shadow?
Tnaya: We are waiting till spring. ^_^ *suddenly gasps* I'm going to be fat in April. Reis, can we get married earlier than that?
Reis: Uh. . .*nods*
Kitami: *looks at Shadow* Did you really just sleep through that whole coversation? *deadpan*
Shadow: *blushes* Maybe. . .
Kitami: Fine then, it wasn't important.
Nata: My-
Kitami: Natasha! And you tell me to watch my language!
Nata: *blush* Oops. Unintentional.
Kitami: If you say so. Hey, where's Aiyen-chan?
Nata: With Lil-san and Mazel-san.
Kitami: Dammit. She's supposed to be the responsible one! Aiyen-chan is more her kid than the twins.
Nata: For what it's worth, you more than compensate.
Kitami: What's that mean?
Nata: It means you make a pretty awesome mother.
Kitami: Ah, we're back to this again.
Nata: *shrugs* Apparently.
Ebeny: Okay, I'm back. Did you tell him?
Kitami: Ah, no.
Ebeny: Kay. . .I will do my magic. It's not perverted. Hey, Shadow.
Kitami: Magic is always perverted.
Ebeny: Oh well. Shadow, don't you think Kitami would make a great mother. *looks at Kitami to see how she reacts*
Kitami: *narrows eyes and Ebeny*
Ebeny: Well, you didn't say anything.
Kitami: *sigh*
Ebeny: Oh well. So, has anyone seen Bobica?
Kitami: Not since. . .uh. . .when was sthe last time she was here?
Ebeny: I don't know. Can you call her or something?
Kitami: Me? Why me? You do it!
Ebeny: It still gives me a headache.
Kitami: *is trying to keep a straight face* Is that why you left the doctor alone? *innocent*
Ebeny: *glares* Just call her please!
Kitami: *rolls eyes and snaps fingers*
Bobica: *appears* What in the world is going on!?
Kitami: *mouths the word 'oh' and points at Ebeny*
Bobica: What the hell do you want?! Don't you know I'm busy?
Ebeny: *sits quietly*
Kitami: *snickers*
Bobica: *glares at Kitami* I didn't tell you guys, did I?
Kitami: Um. . .nope.
Bobica: Well, you know I'm a little crazy, but the secretary offered mea job at the Charlie Brown House.
Kitami: Congratulations.
Bobica: I don't know if I'll take the job.
Kitami: You should.
Bobica: I'm only Stage Two, I have the be Stage Three to graduate.
Kitami: So learn. *rolls eyes*
Bobica: Stage Two in the metal institute, not in classes.
Kitami: That's. . .not what I mean. Nevermind.
Bobica: I might be moved down to level one again. In fact, I can get in a lot of trouble being here, so can I go now?
Kitami: *waves hand dismissively* Ask Ebeny. She told me to bring you.
Ebeny: Nevermind, it can wait. *starts to disappear, then stops* You want to get pregnant, Kitami!
Kitami: It's not as if we've already established this or anything.
Bobica: He doesn't know, does he?
Kitami: Unless he fell asleep again he does now. *mutters about people who don't know when to keep their mouths shut*
Nata: *raises eyebrow*
Kitami: *holds up finger* Not. A. Word.
Nata: *smirks*
Shadow: *was about to say something* You do? You would make a good mother, you know, look at Mai and Tain, they love you.
Reis: Am I going to get answered? Kitami, when are you, Shadow, Itsari and Bob getting married?
Kitami: *looks at Shadow* You would know this had you been awake earlier. It's more of a matter of 'do you want kids'. *looks at Reis* April 7th.
Tanya: Darn we can't make it a triple wedding cause I'm going to be fat then.
Shadow: Yeah, kids are aborable. I just don't think I'd be a good father.
Kitami: You're kidding. The twins love you!
Bobica: She has a point. Well, I got to go so I don't get in trouble. *disappears*
Ebeny: See ya. I will talk to her later. Seriously though, you shouldn't doubt yourself, Shadow. Don't you agree, Kitami?
Kitami: Didn't I just say that? r something close, anyhow.
Ebeny: Yeah, well, ugh!
CT: *comes in* So are you going swimming Tate?
Tate: Erm. . .*not replying*
Shadow: Kit, can we go somewhere else so they aren't evesdropping.
Kitami: Sure! *snaps and disappears*
Shadow: *grins and dsiappears too*
Nata: Well. . .that sounds innocent.
Itsari: No, it doesn't.
Tanya: With Shadow, yeah right.
Itsari: And my twin. *rolls eyes*
Tanya: I knew you guys looked alike.
Itsair: *smacks forehead*
Nata: So. . .any bets that when they come back Kit-kun's pregnant.
Bob: Um. . .I bet she will.
Ebeny: Funny.
Nata: *twitch* Oookay, turning superhuman hearing off now.
Ebeny: *laughs hysterically*
Bob: So what's going on with Bobica again?
Nata: Good question. Um. . .okay, who here has any ability to-
Mai: Nata-san! Nata-san!
Nata: *kneels* What is it, Mai-chan?
Mai: It's Tainy, he's gone!
Nata: Gone?
Mai: Yeah, gone! He went poof like Auntie does, but he didn't show up with me at Mommy's house.
Ebeny: Uh-oh, that doesn't sound good. Any clue where he might have gone?
Bob: Itsari, you want to go look for him, or can we Yank him or something?
Itsari: We can sure as hell try! *snaps*
Bob: Shit, where is he?!
Ebeny: I will search Elsewhere. *runs out door*
Itsari: I din't know! He's being shielded. Dammitall, this is the worst timing! If Lilann would only wain troublwn kids!
Mai: Is Mommy and Daddy in trouble?
Nata: Sari-kun, go.
Itsari: You sure you can handle-
Nata: I'm an android.
Itsari: True. Thanks. *disappears*
Bob: What can I do?
Nata: *hesitates*
Mai: He can go tell Mommy.
Nata: *nods*
Bob: Okay, where is she?
Mai: I can takes us.
Bob: Are you sure? Nata, are you okay with this?
Mai: I can!
Nata: Mai-chan. . .come back?
Mai: *rolls eyes* 'Course I'll come back. I's not like Tainy. I's good at poofing.
Nata: You heard the kid.
Bob: Okay. *takes Mai's hand* Ready?
Mai: *grins, snaps and disappears*
Ebeny: *comes running in* I can't find him!
Stearn: Find who? *still holding suitcase*
Ebeny: Where is Bob?
Nata: He went with Mai-chan to talk to Lilann-san.
Ebeny: Okay, what can we do?
Nata: *shakes head* Hope that Itsari has better luck? Or that the Yanking is just taking a while.
Ebeny: Where might he be?
Bob: *appears* Um. . .where's Mai? I was just with her. And he mom wasn't there.
Nata: Dammit! What the hell is going on!?
Itsari: *appears* There's a ripple in no-space.
Nata: What is it with all these impossible things that keep happening to us?!
Itsari: Karma?
Nata: *gives her a look*
Stearn: *falls to knees* I don't know why this is happening! *grabs head*
Ebeny: Are you oka?! *runs to him*
Bobica: *appears* Sokay, so Earth is not the only place in chaos. What the hell is going on!
Nata: Ripples in no-space. What's going on with the doctor?
Ebeny: No clue! All he is doing is holding his head and mumbling.
Bobica: What's "a ripple"?
Nata: Do you know what no-space is?
Bobica: Yes.
Nata: Oh, good, that makes this so much simpler. A ripple is the shockwave of a universe thats been or is in the process of being destroyed.
Bobica: That is probably why Dr. Stearn is the way he is.
Nata: Hmm. . .A whole universe is dying and we're feeling the effects. Damn, that makes getting Mai and Tain back that much harder.
Stearn: Okay, I'm better now. But we need to find the Council now. Can someone go to the universe being destroyed? *stand up and grabs the wall* I could do it but I'm kind of stuck here cause these stupid things. *shows cuffs* It wouldn't be the first time I've done this.
Bob: I don't know.
Stearn: Well, I'm stuck anyway.
Nata: There's a procedure for this kind of thing, oh dammitall, where'd they put that file!?
Itsari: *snaps and folder appears in hand* This?
Nata: *snatches folder*
Reis: So we're all going to die?
Tanya: I'll be right back. *runs of*
Reis: Bet shey's getting Ayan.
Nata: *sighs* We aren't going to die.
Itsari: One second and. . .got it. *snaps and map appears* *points* This is the multiverse. Here *points again* is the dying universe. It's not that large, and sparcely populated. We're only feeling the effects because its strings are near ours. Once its gone, the effects will vanish.
Nata: If we send out a summons now, we can have that universe evacuated before then. The main thing is to get Mai and Tain back.
Itsari: The Ripple will have taken them to its point of origin, so that's here we have to go.
Nata: And quickly.
Reis: Okay, got it.
Tanya: *comes back dragging a mumbling Ayan*
Ayan: What did you drag me from S- my inventions for?
Nata: Ripples in no-space. The twins were swept to the origin.
Ayan: *glances at watch* How long till everything there disappears*
Nata: It shouldn't. . .that I know of. Not disappear, per se.
Itsari: More like, crumble to dust. Seventy-two hours.
Ayan: Perfect. *pulls out keys and tosses them to Nata* Keys to my garage. If anone needs to borrow anything. I'm going to try to build something to reverse the ripple, or at least freeze it for long enough to evacuate everyone. *walks off in thought*
Nata: *looks at Tanya* She can do that?
Tanya: *shrugs* She can do a lot of things. She will definately try.
Seth: *shows up* Oh, I gorgot. >.> Ayan yelled at me to get out of her lab, I tested this ages ago for her. *heands a little device to Itsari* Here, Kit, this is that water breathing thing you asked for.
Itsari: *nods and decides not to bother correcting him*
Nata: Do you suppose Ayan-san has something in that garage that can get us all to the Ripple's Origin? I don't think teleportation is the safest way to travel at the moment.
Seth: She has an Onta Jet. She based it off a sketch of Angel's.
Nata: *nods*
Itsari: Okay, who's going and who's staying?
Nata: Going. You're going. Nisa's staying. Don't know about your twin. That covers everyone of Tate's who's here, right?
Itsari: *nods*
Jake: I'm coming and I'm going to go make Shadow come.
Tanya: I'm staying with Reis.
Itsari: Jake, watch what you say. That's Kitami's job. *grins*
Melody: I just say Hi Bitches and Bastards.
Itsari: How the hell did you get here?
Melody: I felt like it so I came!
Itsari: *hides grin*
Nata: *smacks Itsari*
Melody: Don't smack her, let me do it.
Itsari: *snicker*
Nata: *whispers to Itsari*
Itsari: Hey! I resent that!
Nata: *smug look*
Melody: Hey, stop fighting with each other. . .someone fight with me.
Itsari: This is sounding. . .nevermind.
Nata: We're supposed to be ging now. Move it, people!
Melody: I'm not leaving without you meeting my sisters and my daughter. *kiss, kiss* I love my spawn.
Itsari: Well, bring 'em with you!
Melody: So where are we going?
Itsari: *points to place on map* This universe using some jet in Ayan's garage. . .
Nata: *rolls eyes*
Melody: *random door shows up, knocks on door*
Shian: Where the hell did that come from?!?
Melody: Where the hell did you come from?!?
Shian: *snickers* Same place you did. . .*falls to the floor laughing*
Melody: Eveyone, this is one of my sisters.
Shian: *still wondering how she got there*
Itsari: You don't really want me to explain reproduction do you?
Nata: *smacks* Itsari! Mind out of the gutter, now!
Itsari: Like you weren't thinking it.
Nata: *gives Itsari a look*
Shian: *trys to smack Itsari but hits herself in the face* One, No, I meant I want to know how I wound up with all of you. I was just with my husband. . .oh shit. Two, you moved, that's cheating.
Melody: HOW COULD YOU GET ANOTHER HUSBAND SO QUICK. . .WHAT ABOUT KILECY, YOU KNOW, YOUR DAUGHTER!!!!!
Shian: So, new topict, who has something to say?
Itsari: I'm just gonna. . .uh, bye! *runs*
Nata: *twitches at grammar*
Shian: *takes Itsari's idea and runs*
Nata: Itsari, the garage is this way!
Itsari: *is back* I knew that.
Nata: Did not!
Itsari: Did so!
Nata: This is mature.
Itsari: Really?
Nata: No, boge.
Itsari: Hey!
Shian: *is back too* Kay. Oh, leaving bye!
Melody: *said too late* Hey what about. . .
Itsari: *raises eyebrow curiously, walks away*
Nata: *follows*
Melody: Wait, come back!
Itsari: *holds out hand* Key?
Nata: Not on your life. I'm driving. *unlocks garage*
Itsari: Spoilsport.
Melody: *orbs key to herself* No, I'm driving. I'm faster, just give me directions! Order not a wish.
Itsari: *snaps and holds up key, then puts forcefield around it*
Nata: Sari-kun. . .
Itsari: *innocent* Yes?
Nata: Nevermind.
Melody: *orbs key and forcefield* Fine then, bye.
Itsari: *holds up real key* Sucker.
Nata: Sari-kun, be nice! *takes key*
Itsari: *hops in vehicle*
Nata: *follws, turns on vehicle and stashes key*
Melody: *waiting on planet* Hey, I'm friends with your mom. Come on, I'll take you home, seeing as it's been an hour already.
Nata: *looks at Itsari* Who's she talking to?
Melody: Oh, hi guys. What took you so long?
Itsari: *nods* Interesting. C'mon, Nata, we've got work to do.
Nata: Agreed.
Melody: Oh, hi guys. The twins are this way.
Nata: That's a forest of snare-plants. *deadpan*
Itsari: C'mon, Nata-kun. I bet we can find 'em.
Nata: *looks at vehicle* Stay here.
Itsari: You speak as if its sentient.
Nata: How do you know it isn't?
Itsari: Snarky today, aren't we?
Nata: I have not yet begun to snark.
Itsari: Uh-huh. I'm scared.
Nata: Hey!
Itsari: *rolls eyes*
Stearn: What about the Council? Are they in that universe? Can I do anything?
Ebeny: I can do anything needed.
Stearn: Actually. *puts hand on Ebeny's shoulder* You're still inexperienced, you should stay here. *takes hand off of Ebeny and grabs head again* Whatever we do, can we do it now!?
Bob: Well, he has a point, Eb.
Ebeny: *sits on ground* So, I can still help. I'll just stay here.
Bobica: I'll stay to help. What can we do?
Itsari: Actually, Ebeny, you and the doctor could go back to Elsewhere and run the Council. I trust you to be in charge. Him, not so much.
Jake: Uh. . .Shadow's gone. . .Where's Kit? Didn't. . .didn't they both just disappear to go somewhere else together?
Itsari: Oh dear. . .dammmitall Kitami!
Nata: You do realise that you are the same person. . .
Itsari: Not quite.
Nata: We have to find them too!
Itsari: They'll be at the origin, plausibly with Mai and Tain if they attempted a teleport under these conditions.
Ebeny: So I'll head back to Elsewhere. *stands back up* Come on Dr. Stearn.
Stearn: Can you all please call me John?
Ebeny: Okay, come on John, we hav to go. If you don't come back in say, I don't know, a day, I'm coming after y'all.
Nata: Y'all is not a word! *twitch*
Ebeny: Who the hell cares besides Nata?
Itsari: *raises hand*
Ebeny: *sweatdrop* So if you're not back by tomorrow, I'm coming after you guys.
Itsari: Yes.
Ebeny: Okay. *takes John's hand* See y'all! *disappears*
Nata: *glare*
Jake: So how can we go find them?
Itsari: *points* Let's go this way.
Nata: Agreed.
Bob: Okay, should we split up?
Itsari: *sarcastic* Oh, yes, because we want to lose you, too. *rolls eyes*
Bob: It was just an idea, jeeze.
Itsari: Yeah, well. . .
Nata: What she means is that if you get lost and we can't find you, you could die, and she doesn't like that option.
Bob: I know.
Bobica: Ok, so we go as a group, that makes sense.
Nata: Exactly. *begins walking*
Bobica: What's that? *points at something moving*
Bob: Heh. . .looks like a shadow.
Nata: *shrugs* Could be anything.
Bob: We should go see what it is. *starts walking over to that spot*
Nata: That could be dangerous. . .
Bob: I laugh in the face of danger. Ha ha ha ha!
Bobica: I hate that movie.
Nata: How. . .quaint. . .
Bob: It's an okay movie. *jumps back* What the F-in hell was that? *points at shadowy figure*
Nata: Like I said, it could be anything.
Itsari: Anything?
Nata: *smacks Itsari upside the head* Not like you're thinking, boge!
Bobica: Can't Shadow make him a shadow?
Itsari: I believe so.
Bobica: Maybe that's him.
Itsari: Possibly. But I don't see Kit, and they should be together.
Nata: There's only one way to find out.
Itsari: No.
Nata: Sari-kun, you're immortal. If it turns out to be evil, you're the safest one of all of us.
Itsari: I hate you.
Nata: *grins* I know.
Bobica: Glad I'm not you. Ha ha.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Mystery: *wandering streets and spots Tanya*
Tanya: *looks at her oddly*
Mystery: You tried to kill me!
Tanya: *eyes widen* I'm sorry! *flees*
Mystery: *chases*
Tanya: Ahhh!
Erin: *catches Mystery by the arm* Don't kill her, she's a moron.
Mystery: *turns on him* She killed me. Oh.
Erin: And she broke my heart. Leave her be. . .I'll help you out if you need it.
Mystery: *collects herself* I'll be fine.
Tanya: *trips as vines wrap around her legs*
Mystery: *walks away calmly*
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Shadow: *turns human holding Kit close* Hey guys. . .where are we?
Nata: *raises hand* Ask her. *points to Itsari*
Shadow: *turns to Itsari* Where are we?
Itsari: *sigh, long trilling sound followed by a click*
Shadow: Kay.
Itsari: Kit, have you seen the twins?
Kitami: I haven't seen anything. Ask him. *points to Shadow*
Shadow: No, I haven't seen them.
Itsari: Damn!
Nata: You haven't seen anything?
Kitami:Nothing at all. Apparently the ripple caused me to go blind.
Bobica: That sucks. Thank god you really aren't. We should keep looking.
Bob: Leave it to Sherlock *points to Bobica* to point out the obvious.
Bobica: Shut up.
Bob: *pulls duct tape out of pocket* Why don't you? *unrolls some tape* *laughs*
Bobica: Where'd you get that?
Bob: I brought it with me. I always have it with me.
Bobica: Let's just keep looking.
Bob: Fine.
Itsari: Why do you care duct tape, anata?
Nata: *raises hand* I, for one, would rather not know. Nor do we have time to find out. Discuss it on your honeymoon.
Itsari: Just discuss?
Nata: You have issues.
Itsari: I know. *grins* Ain't it great?
Nata: *cringe* There are so many things wrong with that statement, I don't know where to start.
Bob: *grins* You don't have to think about it. I have it for reasons.
Bobica: Gross!
Itsari: *bites lip to refrain from saying something Nata would object to*
Bob You know you can say it.
Itsari: *glances at Nata* It's probably better that I don't.
Bob: You're probably right. You're. . .
Bobica: *interrupting* Stop jabbering you two and get moving.
Itsari: Hush. I'm what? *starts walking*
Bob: You're right about everything.
Itsari: Not everything.
Bob: To me you are.
Itsari: *shrugs* Thanks. . .I think.
Bob: You shouldn't doubt yourself.
Itsari: I don't. I'm a realist. Everyone is wrong sometimes.
Bob: Okay.
Ruby: *giggles* Can I borrow the duct tape please?
Itsari: *raises eyebrow* Why?
Bob: *puts into his pocket* I don't think you would like this tape, but you can have this piece. *hands Ruby tape*
Bobica: Stop fooling around. Hey, there's Mai! *points to a small girl on the ground*
Bob: Damn, she don't look too good. *starts running toward her*
Bobica: Probably just scared.
Itsari: Or injured. Wait up! *follows Bob*
Bob: *stops for Itsari* I hope she's okay. *reaches Mai and checks for pulse* She is still breathing, but barely. We should get her to a respirater.
Itsari: Respirator? Anata, she's immortal. SHe'll wake up with a bit of coaxing and recover herself. *puts fingers on Mai's forehead*
Mai: *blinks* Ama? *looks up* Auntie?
Itsari: Mai-chan. How are you?
Mai: *sits up* Fine. Where's Tainy? He was with me.
Itsari: *mutters to self, then glances up* Nata!
Nata: Hmm?
Itsari: Tain should be around here somewhere. Shadow can find him faster than you, so can you watch Kit-kun?
Nata: Certainly.
Ruby: *stares at piece of tape distastefully* Bleck. *disappears and piece of tape falls to ground*
Shadow: Be careful Kit. *turns into a shadow and speads out across ground, moving off to search*
Jake: *stumbles as comes to a sudden stop, was moving fast* I think Ayan called the ship back. I was watching it and no one went in, but it suddenly lifted off the ground!
Kitami: Ama Silicate!
Itsari: Kitami!
Kitami: *sheepishly* Sorry. *mutters* It’s never easy.
Nata: And you accuse me of line theft. *shakes head* Once we’ve got Tain, all we have to do is ride the shockwave out, ne?
Kitami: From the center of the center of the origin. Easier said than done. First we hav to get there. And trust me, it’s not a fun place.
Nata: From you that’s almost-
Kitami:Don’t say it!
Nata: Spoilsport.
Kitami: Be nice. You’re supposed to be watching me.
Nata: *dryly* You think I can’t look at you and insult you at the same time?
Bob: So now all we have to do is wait, or should we start heading for the ship?
Nata: Did you completely miss the fact that the ship just left?
Bob: I wasn’t really listening.
Nata: Well, listen now. The ship has left. We are stranded. As soon as Shadow returns with Tain-chan, we’re going to the origin point and riding the shockwave out of this place. Capiche?
Kitami: Who says that?
Nata: I do!
Kitami: Freak.
Nata: Ditto.
Kitami: *gasp of indignation*
Itsari: *giggles* Y’know, Tate was right about the subtext.
Nata and Kitami: Hey!
Bobica: That doesn’t sound easy.
Bob: That’s cause it isn’t. Gawd, you’re stupid.
Nata: It isn’t easy, but it isn’t impossible.
Kitami: Hurry up, anata.
Mai: Is Tainy gonna be alright?
Itsari: He’s an Immortal. Of course he’ll be alright.
Bob: Well, how long will it take to get there?
Kitami: Let’s see. . .one blind woman, two injured Zero’s and a hostile environment. Whadda you think?
Nata: She means that it’s impossible to calculate. It’s the mood swings talking.
Bob: *surprised look on face* Okay, makes sense.
Bobica: Duh. * sits down* So what now?
Kitami: We wait for my Shadow.
Itsari: Poor Kitkun. Wouldn’t a shot of setebal help?
Kitami: Prolly. But I didn’t think to bring any with me, and teleportation isn’t an option.
Itsari: Geez, sorry.
Bob: Can we teleport stuff here?
Nata: Not with any success. The ripple would set it down anywhere, you’d never find it. Fortunately, I am equipped to synthesize small amounts of setebal.
Kitami: Yeah? Then hurry up with it!
Itsari: Someone’s cranky.
Kitami: *hisses* No dip.
Bob: Just let her have it.
Nata: *dryly* That’s Shadow’s job.
Bob: *sweatdrop* Not what I meant.
Nata: Ah, but it is what you said.
Kitami: Just synthesize already.
Nata: I have been.
Kitami: Then hand it over.
Nata: This is ridiculous. Whose idea was it for you to get knocked up right before the major plot twist?
Kitami: Careful, watch out for the fourth wall.
Nata: *rolls eyes* Ready for a setebal injection?
Kitami: I’ve been ready for ours.
Nata: It’s been ten minutes. *peels the ‘skin’ off right pointer finger and unscrews cap to expose needle*
Kitami: She did that freaky finger-to-needle trick, didn’t she? *shudders*
Itsari: Be glad you couldn't see it.
Kitami: Oh, I am.
Nata: *injects Kitami at the base of the neck* There.
Kitami: Ah, setebal. Too bad I didn't have any at Djuna's birth.
Itsari: Poor Zero, lost to the mortals.
Kitami and Itsari: *sigh*
Bob: What?
Bobica: Happened?
Kitami and Itsari: When?
Kitami: The setebal?
Itsari: Or Djuna?
Nata: You two. . .
Kitami and Itsari: What?
Nata: Nevermind.
Bobica: The Djuna.
Kitami: Djuna is my son by a Mortal. My first child. I haven't seen him since I lost his father a mortal chick with a frying pan. He would be. . .fourteen earth years. With the whole dying and being reborn thing, by the time I applied for custody it was too late.
Bobica: Wouldn't that mean that you're not immortal anymore because of that and he is half immortal?
Kitami: After my rebirth I was Bonded back. And dear 'June is a subspecials. Though, until May I am Mortal. Damn our gestation period.
Nata: It's shorter than the humans.
Kitami: Hmm, true.
Bob: When did that happen?
Bobica: Please, don't answer.
Bob: Nevermind. When did it happen as is a boy or girl or twins?
Bobica: *smiles* Ooh, if they are twins, good luck.
Bob: Unfortunate for our mother, she had a mental child.
Bobica: And stupid.
Bob: *glares*
Kitami: Right before we discovered the twins were gone. And. . .I think it's a girl.
Ruby: Mommy's here. *points up at ship*
Shadow: *appears holding Tain* I found him near a part of the ground that looked like water. Well, it wasn't water, it was shimmering like water though. . .
Ayan: *drops to ground and lets ship land* Okay, it was hard to do, but based on my calculations, this should do the trick. *mumbles a bit then pulls out from pocket a small device* I can't guarantee it will stop the rupple but it should hold it back for another hour or so.
Mai: Tainy? Auntie, is Tainy gonna be alright?
Kitami: Sari-kun, if you'll wake him?
Itsari: Of course. *puts fingers across Tain's forehead*
Tain: *blinks* What happened?
Mai: Tainy! You's alive! *Glomps*
Tain: Hi, Mai-Mai. I know we're immortal, but I wanna breath?
Mai: Sorry.
Itsari: We should get back to Elsewhere so we can examine Kit-kun and see what damage Nisa, Ebeny and the doctor caused.
Shadow: *sets Tain down* Let's go.
Ruby: *giggles and disappears*
Itsari: Um. . .is it safe to be teleporting?
Kitami: Very carefully. The effect is lessened this close to the Origin.
Nata: Perhaps we can discuss this when we get back to Elsewhere?
Ayan: Technically it's not dangerous for her. I'm not quite sure why not, but it's not.
Nata: Interestingly enough, we're still here.
Ayan: *nods and activates device* Okay, everyone onto the ship.
Nata: Shadow, get Kit. Mai, Tain, follow me. Bob, Bobica and Itsari. . .I guess they already went? *goes on ship*
Itsari: We're here.
Shadow: *nods and hugs Kit* Come on. *goes to ship*
Ayan: *looks around* Okay, good. *puts device on ground and walks onto ship and drives it*
Mai: Are we there yet?
Tain: Yeah. We there yet?
Ayan: Ten more minutes.
Mai: Has it been ten minutes yet?
Ayan: *nods* Ten more minutes.
Mai: Are we there yet?
Ayan: Ten more minutes. *presses a button and TV raises out of the ground*
Mai: When can I get married like Mommy?
Ayan: When your mom says you're allowed.
Mai: But we barely talk to Mommy!
Ayan: Uh. . .*makes TV disappear and turns around after turning on auto-pilot* Wait till you're at least 20.
Mai: But Auntie's ten!
Bob: And how old are you?
Mai: *mumbled* I'm a Zero.
Ayan: *smiles* I'm not sure exactly how all the immortals runes work, but I think you should wait till at least twenty, earth years. Is that fine? *looks at Kitami and Itsari*
Kitami:* Under Immortal Law, a Zero has no right to be married. No one has a right to anything until they get a Status at One. Don't worry Mai-chan, you'll get to it. You've got eternity.
Itsari: Literally.
Nata: *cough* Line theif. *cough*
Bobica: Don't worry, time passes faster than you think.
Kitami: Not for us Aenarene it doesn't.
Bobica: Way to put someone's hopes underground.
Kitami: I'm not going to lie to my neice. Honesty is a trait my people prize and - nevermind.
Bobica: What?
Kitami: I. . .we. . .*motions to Itsari* It's. . . *shakes head* It's nothing. Nevermind.
Bobica: What!
Kitami: How much do you know of Aenarene culture?
Bobica: Very little. Just explain, I'll catch up.
Kitami: Fair enough. Our social structure was built by five families. We've intermingled until there are so many houses now, but everything began with the Five Families. The Atali Miaska, Tellirs, Katata, and Agasi. As the years since the last Evolution passed, the Five Families grew apart. But where the first four became allies again, the condition of the Agasi. . .deteriorated.
Nata: To put it mildly.
Kitami: Mikalis Agasi had three wives and four children, and a maid with no status. His first wife was a Mortal, and when he realized his Halfling son couldn't be his heir, he tossed him to the maid. The same with his second wife's daughter. The Agasi are ruthless. Most of them are Freelance. Smugglers, traders, prostitutes. The few who aren't bribed their way up. When his third wife finally produced an heir. . .he killed my older brother, sponsored my older sister, and put my twin on a pedestal. Then he kicked me and Adra out.
Bob: That sucks.
Bobica: So who is Adra?
Jake: And. . .where is Adra? *turns around* How is he already asleep?
Kitami: Adra was my maid. . .nurse. . .surrogate mother. . .we were imprisoned seperately. Because of her plea on my behalf. . .I wouldn't be surprised if she were dead.
Bobica: That doesn't sound good, the killing part. *shudders*
Bob: Isn't there a way to see if she is still alive? Was she mortal or immortal?
Bobica: Duh! She was most likely mortal if she was killed.
~
Ebeny: Damn you, John!
John: What!?
Ebeny: I told you to stop touching me. *throws frying pan*
John: You're the one who likes me.
Ebeny: Yeah! So, I don't want you touching me. You're gay!
John: Not any more. . .*looks down*
Ebeny: Oh. . .*looks away*
~
Kitami: She was Aenarene. There are nanites, Kakani inducing nanites. . .that's how Mikalis killed my brother. Shadow knows, I made sure to tell him right after he proposed.
Itsari: Bob, I was going to take you away and tell you as soon as this. . .chaos abated.
Bob: Don't worry. I know no, unless there is something else you need to tell me.
Itsari: I. . .um. . .okay. C'mon. *motions to back of vehicle* *looks at Kit* You told Shadow the full story?
Kitami: *nods*
Itsari: Good.
Timmy: *appears* Hi, I'm Timmy. *disappears*
Ayan: Okay, this ground attracts the oddes circumstances. *turns back towards controls*
Kitami: Um. . .*points to where Timmy was* What was that and how did it get here?
Nata: It's like the smart one said, we attract strange people. Just look at that weird person Sari-kun and I ran into on the way here.
Kitami: Oh, I can't wait for things to go back to normal.
Nata: Things were normal?
Kitami: . . .less chaotic?
Nata: *raises eyebrow* You without chaos. Interesting concept, but-
Kitami: How about the laws of physics start working?
Nata: We're on our way to Elsewhere.
Kitami: I'm not going to win this, am I?
Nata: *smirk* What do you think?
Kitami: I think I should shut up before I get in trouble.
Nata: Good idea.
Kitami: *pouts, then grins and moves to sit in Shadow's lap*
Nata: Oh, get a room.
Kitami: Hey Ayan-san, got a room where I can wake my Shadow up properly?
Nata: *rolls eyes* You are such a perv.
Kitami: Oh, like you and Jake don't do wicked things?
Nata: Not as wicked as you.
Kitami: Is that an admission?
Nata: No! *sweatdrop*
Kitami: It is.
Nata: Is not!
Kitami: *giggle*
Nata: *glare* You are such a pain in the-
Kitami: Watch what you say, Nata-kun. Remember the children.
Tain: *snores quietly*
Mai: *tugs on Kitami's sleeve* Auntie? What're 'wicked things'?
Kitami: *sweatdrop*
Nata: Who should watch what they say?
Kitami: You are enjoying this entirely too much.
Nata: Yes, I am. Go on, explain it to her.
Mai: *tilts head curiously*
Kitami: Well, um, 'wicked things' are very bad, grown up things that you don't need to think about until you're old enough to marry.
Mai: How old were you when you started thinking about them, Auntie?
Kitami: Er, um, about one of our years.
Mai: So when can I start thinking about them?
Kitami: Erm. . .uh. . .Nata? A little help?
Nata: *laughs*
Kitami: Natasha!
Nata: Oh, alright already. *picks Mai up and sets her in lap* Mai, you don't need to think about things like that yet, okay? When you're ready, the thoughts will come on their own.
Mai: How will I know what they are?
Nata: You just. . .will.
Tain: Mai-mai, they's talking about growed-up dating stuff. Leave it alone. *rolls over sleepily* And talk quieterer, I'm trying to ssleep.
Mai: *nods* Oh, you's talking about sex.
Nata: *chokes*
Kitami: *laughs* Sounds remnicient of Enterprise.
Nata: Now who's enjoying herself too much? I told you not to leave the computer on with all that junk you put in it!
Kitami: It's not junk, it's literature.
Nata: It's porn.
Kitami: It is not! It's NC-17 rated slash. There's a difference.
Nata: *snorts* Sure. Besides, she's not 17.
Mai: *giggles* So when can I-
Tain: Mai-mai! I don't wanna hear 'bout it.
Mai: You're no fun, Tainy. *pouts*
Tain: Go to sleep. Maybe you'll have a rev-e-lation and you won't have to ask.
Nata: You have way too much influence on that child. If I knew how to contact Lilann, I would.
Kitami: Actually. . .
Nata: Actually what?
Kitami: I got a package from Lilann just before we left.
Nata: What kind of package?
Kitami: I'll tell you after I discuss it with Shadow.
Ayan: *tries to ignore conversation* Uh, yeah, there is a room in the back, and what have you been teaching her?
Kitami: Nothing, I swear! I just forgot that she could read and left the computer running a couple times. . .
Ayan: Oh. . .
Ruby: I can read too, mum!
Kitami: *grins* So I can really use that room back there?
Ayan: *nods cautiously*
Kitami: *grins wider* Great! *stands up, picks up Shadow and carries into room*
Nata: This can not end well. . .
Ayan: Yeah, uh. . .*turns off cameras*
Mai: *giggles* Are they gonna-
Nata: Mai!
Mai: Sorry. . .but are they?
Nata: . . .most likely.
Mai: Can I watch?
Nata: *sweatdrop* No!
Ayan: No!
Jake: Huh, no what?
Nata: Mai-chan wants to go watch Kit-kun and Shadow in the other room. . .
Jake: Why, what are they do -NO!
Nata: I see we understand each other.
Jake: Yeah. Why are they. . .while there's kids around?
Nata: It, uh. . .started with a conversation that deteriorated. . .rather quickly. They Itold them to get a room. . .so they did.
Jake: Oh.
Ayan: We're going to be there soon. Uh, should we just leave them there?
Nata: *yelling over shoulder* Hey, Kit, we're almost there!
Kitami: So're we!
Nata: *rolls eyes* Beacuse I needed to know that.
Ayan: *coughs*
Nata: Um. . .leaving them sounds like a good idea.
Ayan: *nods* Yeah, and we're here by the way. *motions towards window*
Nata: Oh thank god! *drags Jake off ship*
Itsari: *walks out, leading Bob*
Nata: *calls over shoulder* Hey, sis, you coming?
Kitami: Not yet! Give me a minute!
Nata: Why do I get the feeling she took that entirely differently than the way I meant it?
Itsari: Because she's her.
Bob: So that was a lot to take in. . .
Bobica: What?
Bob: You'll find out another time.
Ebeny: *runs out* Good, you're back. *still holding rying pan* Everything went great other than John getting massive headaches.
Itsari: And groping you. *taps head* Telepathy comes in handy when keeping tabs on people.
John: *walks out* Well, it wasn't exactly groping.
Itsair: It was at first. I stopped keeping tabs at that point.
Ebeny: You should have kept listening. It only got funnier. The frying pan came in handy.
John: My head still hurts. Both of them.
Itsari: I'll bet. *smirk, whispers to Ebeny*
Nata: Itsari!
Bob: Just say it out loud, come on.
John: I want to know!
Itsari: You sure?
John: Yeah.
Itsari: Alright. I asked her if you were any good.
John: Well?
Ebeny: No comment.
Itsari: *stage whisper toward John* That's a 'yes'.
John: I sure hope so.
Bobica: That's just gross!
Bob: Ew. . .*takes a step back*
Nata: Alright, Sari-kun, you've had your fun.
Itsari: No I haven't. Kit-kun got to the room first.
Bob: We can find one. . .let's go back to my house. Or the Charlie Brown House sounds fun too.
Bobica: Oh no you don't.
Bob: *takes Itsari's hand* Where do you want to go?
Itsari: Is the throne room of the Council Building too kinky?
Nata: Yes! You fricking perv!
Itsari: *bows* At your service. Well, actually, at his. . .
Bob: I'm fine wherever.
Itsari: *purrs* Yes, you are.
Nata: Get a room!
Itsari: *grins* Okay. C'mon, dear. *walks away with Bob*
Nata: I can't believe I'm related to her.
Kitami: *exits vehicle, carrying sleeping twins* I heard that.
Nata: Good. Where's Shadow?
Kitami: Sleeping off the afterglow.
Nata: Eloquent.
Kitami: *correcting* Tactless.
Nata: Exactly.
Kitami: Izzactly.
Nata: Not a word.
Kitami: I don't care.
Nata: I do.
Kitami: Good for you.
Nata: Does it seem like our conversations all end up the safe?
Kitami: Yeah. Kinda. Different, but the same.
Nata: Oh, that makes sense. *rolls eyes*
Kitami: Sad thing is, it does.
Shadow: *standing in doorway with no shirt on* Are we supposed to be doing something else or can we still claim the room together, Kitten?
Tanya: Shadow, you're missing something.
Reis: *smirks* You're not, yet.
Tanya: *hits playfully*
Timmy: *appears* Hi, I'm Timmy. *disappears again*
Kitami: *smiles* Anata, we need to talk.
Nata: This sounds bad.
Kitami: It's not. *hands Nata twins* Here, watch them for a bit, kay?
Nata: Um, sure.
Kitami: THanks. *leads Shadow off*
Shadow: Okay. *follows*
Timmy: *appears* Where's she taking Uncle Shadow?
Nata: . . .Uncle?
Timmy: Yeps!
~
Kitami: What do you think of the twins?
Shadow: They're cut, but, well, I don't know, shouldn't they be closer to their parents?
Kitami: Lilann and Mazel are in trouble. I mean not trouble trouble, but they're caught up in something dangerous. Lil-san doesn't know when they'll be finished.
Shadow: Like. . .near death trouble? Should we help them?
Kitami: No, they're. . .they're part of Lil-san's earth's First Contact with the Spindle-Builders. THey odn't need any help. They just don't know how long it will be before they can come back. *adds* Aiyen-chan is living with them, though.
Shadow: So they're not coming back for a while?
Kitami: *nods, quietly* She sent me adoption forms. We've got first dibs, but if you think it's too much we can pass the forms on. . .
Shadow: No, we can adopt them. *hugs* I know you love them, and they love you.
Kitami: We all love you, too.
SHadow: *blushes* I'm not that great.
Kitami: Yes you are. . .in more ways than one. *wicked grin*
Shadow: *grins back* So now that that's decided can we be, oh, how'd you phrase it, do naughty things again? *grins more*
Kitami: Sounds lovely. Think that room is still free?
Shadow: Yeah.
Kitami: Then let's go. I'll file those forms later.
Shadow: Sounds great, Kitten.
~
Shadow: IDK, as I said there is a lot of hospitals.
Lyora: *flicks wrist at Kitami* Go to that hospital and get all the records of all his stays, any mysterious visitors with him, and if you can find them, witnesses.
Kitami: *snaps and is gone*
Mirara: Okay, Shadow, I need to to think carefully now. The Nuir would have looked human in this stage. It would have had amazing power over some force in nature. Most Nuir were kind almost beyond belief, noble, they cared about everyone but spoke to very few. It would have barely talk about itself, but been interested in you and your past. It probably would only had used its powers in a dire emergency, which I've heard you have a knack for getting into. It probably wouldn't have given its full name, either. They usually choose shortnames, between three and six letters. Do you known anyone who fits any, even just one or two, of these traits?
Shadow: Nisa.
Mirara: That sounds about right for a shortened name. Where is this Nisa?
Angel: I talked to her, she and ember are both here.
Mirara: Good. Where the heck is Kitami?
Kitami: *appears holding cabinet* Do you have any idea how many files are in this thing?
Shadow: Uh *looks guilty* I might have been in that hospital. . .a bit often.
Nisa: *sits quietly and smirks*
Kitami: Just a bit? There are six more!
Shadow: *blushes and looks down*
Kitami: Give me something to look for, there's no way I'm carrying anymore!
Nisa: It's file six-four-six gamma, in the backroom. The password is paperfly.
Shadow: *jumps* OMG Nisa! I thought you were dead!
Nisa: I am.
Shadow: Uh ok, so how are you here?
Nisa: *sigh* Ask Angel.
Kitami: *disappears*
Angel: I had Ember get her and ember.
Mai: *looks at ember* Hiya! I'm Mai!
ember: Hi! *disappears and Mai feels poked in the back* *giggles and reappears*
Mai: Cool! I'm a half-immortal, what're you?
ember: I'm a ghost!
Mai: Cool!
Kitami: *appears, looking irritated* There was a second password! It set me on fire! Unfair!
Mirara: Did you get the file?
Kitami: *holds out file, looking incredulous*
Mirara: You're immortal, you'll live.
Kitami: *mutters*
Mirara: *looks through file and frowns. Hands file around the Council*
Amifa: How did a chimera-machine get to that hospital?
Lyora: Irrelevent. It will have to be removed. Soon.
Marriak: *to Nisa* Are you Nuir?
Nisa: . . .Yes. I was.
Kitami: Was?
Nisa: *rolls eye* I'm dead, remember?
Bob: Woah, slow down, so we have ghosts here too, wow. I got a headache now. I can only absorb so much knowledge.
Keko: Then maybe you should leave.
Bob: I will survive, my headache's gone anyway.
Itsari: Good.
Mirara: Kitami, I'm going to give you a choice. You can either go destroy the chimera-machine with your friends, or you can hold down the fort here while we do.
Kitami: Like, take over your job for a while?
Mirara: *nods*
Kitami: Ooh, I like. What about you guys?
Bob: It doesn't matter. What are you doing, Itsari?
Itsari: Whaever Kit-kun does. But being the Council for a while sounds like fun!
Nata: Agreed.
Bob: I can stay. Unless I'm needed.
Kitami: That's four.
Nisa: I'll stay. I don't want to go near that place again.
Kitami: That's five. *looks at Jake and Shadow* You?
Shadow: I'm gonna stay here.
Jake: Whatever. I'll go where I'm needed.
ember: *pouts* I wanna be DNA tested. *looks at Nisa* I thought you were gonna get tested too?
Nisa: *shrugs* Why? I've admitted to what I am.
ember: But DNA testing sounds like fun!
Nisa: Go ahead, then.
Lyora: Very well. Kitami Icasa, on behalf of the Immortal Council, I grant you Governmental Status and leave the Council in your hands until such a time as we return.
Kitami: *nods*
Lyora: *snaps and the Council disappears*
emeber: *tugs on Kitami's hand* Now?
Kitami: Yes, of course. Place your hand on that scanner.
ember: Yay! *runs over and touches scanner*
Kitami: *takes printout* No DNA, not that I expected any.
ember: *pouts* Ooooo. brb. *disappears*
Shadow: What's she up to?
ember: *reappears and holds out a hairbrush* This is from my house. ^.^
Kitami: *sigh* Put it on the scanner.
ember: *puts it on scanner* Now does it work?
Kitami: *picks up printout and hands it to ember* What do you think?
ember: It's got funny shapes on it! Kool!
Kitami: *laughs and passes printout to Shadow* You read it for her.
Shadow: *nods and reads it* She had just two parents and is mortal. Right?
Jake: *laughs* Can't read science stuff, can you, bro?
Shadow: Partially.
Kitami: You're right, at least.
Shadow: *smiles*
ember: *takes paper and sits on floor*
Kitami: Oi, now can we et out of this little room?
ember: Yep.
Kitami: Good. *throws open door*
ember: *goes over to Nisa to follow her*
Jake: *goes out the door* So. . .Nisa is Shadow's donor but, who is mine?
Kitami: It's. . .well, it's quantum entanglement.
Jake: Uh. . . what?
Kitami: *sigh* Okay, how did Harper explain this? You have two atoms/molecules/cells/whatevers and no matter how far apart they get, what's true for one is always true for the other. So if you, say, change the genome sequence in chromosome B in molecule one, and in molecule two, the genome shifts. Not as far, or as much, because it isn't directly affected, b ut some. Which explains why it's next to impossible to tell what your donor was by test, only by evidence.
Jake: So we have to find out, okay.
Kitami: *shakes head* No. By all evidence, it should be the same as Shadow's. Like I said, quantum entanglement.
Jake: Oh, okay.
Kitami: *nods, leaves the dna testing room*
Shadow: *follows Kit*
Kitami: *snaps and several hrone-like chairs come out of the ground* Take a seat, everone. We get to be in charge!
Shadow: *takes right chair* Kool!
Jake: *sits in left chair* I'm hungry.
Kitami: *snaps and large buffet table appears* Why am I the only one who does stuff like this?
Jake: *mumbles that he forgot he could* Thanks.
Kitami: *nods* Mai-chan, go find Tain and go on home.
Mai: Why? I wanna stay here with you, Auntie!
Shadow: *snaps and a table appears with a bottle on it* Hey, I did it.
Kitami: *smirks* Several times. . .I mean, congratulations! Mai, leave now, I'll come visit you later.
Mai: *nods and disappears*
Shadow: Want some? *grins*
Kitami: In the Council? *blinks* Oh, that. . .hehe.
Shadow: *grins*
Kitami: I'll get yelled at if I have alcohol again. All it does is give Tate a headache.
Shadow: Kay.
Kitami: *nods* Okay. *snaps and changes the drink* Now want some?
Kitami: What is it?
Shadow: Sparkling grape juice. ^_^ It's really good.
Kitami: Sure.
Shadow: *purs two glasses* Jake?
Jake: *looks up* No thanks, I'm eating.
Kitami: You can't multitask?
Jake: *shakes head*
Kitami: Why not?
Jake: I'm just not thirsty.
Kitmi: Then why didn't you say that?
Jake: Uh. . .
Kitami: *rolls eyes*
Jake: Nisa, right? Weren't you going to question her?
Kitami: Yeah. . .Anyone but me have any questions for her?
Jake: No.
Shadow: Maybe, but I have to think of one first.
Kitami: Fine then, I'll go first.
Nata: No, I'll go first. It is my primary purpose.
Kitami: Go ahead, then.
Nata: *nods and looks at Nisa* What is your full name?
Nisa: A'nisan'ami'taelyn'alst.
Nata: Do you remember meeting Shadow?
Nisa: Yes.
Nata: When?
Nisa: It was. . .it was many years ago. I don't remember the date. There was a truck, and a hospital.
Nata: Could you be more clear?
Nisa: A truck nearly ran us both over. It hit a tree and burst into flames. I made Shadow help me bring the driver to the hospital. Then he left.
Kitami: The hospital records say you went back.
Nisa: Yes. A little precog kid told me Shadow was in trouble. There were shadow creatures attacking him. We won, but Shadow was injured and I brough him to the hospital. He was taken into a room and I was told to wait.
Nata: And then?
Nisa: I must have fallen asleep. The next thing I remember is it being five hours later, when we left the hospital.
Kitami: A five hour memory gap?
Nata: We should attempt a memory recovery. That could be the result of a mindwipe.
Nisa: A memory recovery? How does that work?
Itsari: I'd take you and Shadow to the memory recovery room and hook you up to a machine that will read and compare them, until it has a full picture.
Nisa: Will it work even though I'm a ghost?
Itsari: Of course.
Nisa: *sigh* I will if he will.
Itsari: Shadow?
Shadow: Okay.
Angel: After, do you think you could get drunk, Shadow? I want to get the effects cause I'm in a bad mood.
Kitami: It shouldn't work. Immortal physiology rejects drugs.
Itsari: *leads Shadow and Nisa away*
Angel: *mumbles* It should work on me though.
Kitami: It should give you a headache.
Angel: (*complaining*) Yeah, I know, but it should do more.
Kitami: *rolls eyes*
Angel: *glares* I am so not in a good mood and I probably shouldn't be complaining here. Does anyone want to see my "essay"?
Nata: Sure. *mouth twitches* I take it you don't like it?
Angel: *grins* It's my english essay.
Nata: Is it finished?
Angel: *grins more*
Nata:: That's not an answer.
Angel: Tate's reading it.
Nata: That's not even an essay!
Angel: I know.
Kitami: Hello? Can we talk about something relevent now?
Angel: Sure.
Kitami: Good. You start.
Angel: Me?
Kitami: Yes, you!
Angel: Fine. . .I'm a cookie!
Kitami: That's relevent?
Angel: *shrugs* Guys are evil sometimes, did you know that?
Kitami: Not my guys, but yes, there are many.
Angel: I'm tired, I'm gonna stop writing and. . .look at my homework.
Kitami: *dryly* Because looking at your homework is a sure cure for tiredness.
Nata: Is tiredness even a word?
Kitami: Does it matter?
Bob: Okay, so I will go see if Itsari needs help, I am kinda bored in here. *starts to walk away*
Itsari: Kit-kun, d'you mind if Bob and I borrow the jet?
Kitami: Handcuffs are in the luggage compartment. *grin*
Itsari: *grin* Thanks!
Bob: Alright! *kisses Itsari on cheek* Catch me if you can.
Itsari: *grin* What do I get if I do?
Bob: You'll see. *disappear*
Itsari: *disappear*
Angel: Wow, look at all the people getting married. Bob and Itsari, Kitami and Shadow, AND. . .Tanya and Reis. >.> Last night she came back from Nevada, pregnant and engaged.
Kitami: Tell Tanya congrats on finally getting a guy.
Tanya: *curtsies* Thank you Tate.
Reis: Hi.
Kitami: Y'ello.
Tate: You sound like Moment.
Tanya: Me?
Tate: No, Kitami. Moment usually greets peole with Y'ello.
Ebeny: *walks in with Tain and Dr. Stearn* Okay so everything got boring so we decided to see what everyone is up to.
Stearn: Who are those two? *points to Tanya and Reis*
Tain: Mai-mai, you shoulda see'd it. That place they go to is so cool!
Mai: Sure it is, Tainy. You shoulda see'd the testin' room.
Mai and Tain: Switchya? *giggle*
Tanya: *looks at Stearn* Don't point at me.
Reis: Switchya?
Mai and Tain: *grin*
Tain: Shortened version of 'switch you'.
Mai: Yeah. Nesstime Tainy's goin' wid Auntie and I'm goin' wid. . .them.
Tain: *nods* Didja get a lession, Mai-mai?
Mai: Jus' history and science. I'll share.
Tain: 'kay.
Stearn: Can I go home to pack now?
Ebeny: Yeah, let's go. Kitami, if you see Bobica, tell her I would like to speak with her.
Kitami: Will do.
Tain: Why's the creepy man packing?
Ebeny: He's moving in with me.
Mai and Tain: Oooh!
Kitami: *hides grin*
Ebeny: Now Kitami, you know I won't do anything. . .Yet! *smiles sheepishly*
Kitami: Have fun. . .eventually. *grin*
Tain: They's talking about growed up things, Mai-mai.
Mai: Lessgo! *disappears*
Tain: *disappears*
Ebeny: That's funny.
Stearn: y the way, I do have a seperate room, right?
Ebeny: Of course. Well, Kitami, I will talk to you later, and by the way, where is Bob? Nevermind, I don't want to know.
Kitami: *cough* WIth Itsari. *cough*
Stearn: Enough said, can we go now?
Ebeny: Ii will drop you off and come back here.
Kitami: Cya!
Tanya: Reis and I are getting married in April, and I'm gonna have a baby in July!
Angel:
Kitami: Lucky.
Tanya: Hey, how come you're not pregnant, Kit"? You've had a lot of sex!
Nata: Eloquently phrased as always, Tanya. . .
Kitami: I can control when I conceive, and I don't know if Shadow wants kids, so. . .
Tanya: What's conceive?
Reis: Do you want kids? If you do, just ask him.
Kitami: It's a fancy word for 'get pregnant.' *rolls eyes* I have. . .thousands of years to have kids if we wants them. I can wait.
Tanya: So you want them!
Kitami: *rolls eyes* No duh.
Tanya and Reis: So tell him. *grin and each other*
Kitami: *dryly* He's sitting right there.
Ebeny: You should tell him. . .See ya! *disappears*
Stearn: Where the hell did she go?
Ebeny: *appears* Oops. . .Wow I'm embarassed. Well, this time maybe I won't forget you. Well, once agains, see everyone later. And I'm being serious and I'm sure everyone wants you to. *grabs Stearns and and disappears*
Kitami: *snickers*
Nata: Shouldn't he have been Yanked after her?
Kitami: Yes, after a few seconds. Time dilation and all that.
Nata: Ah. I see.
Kitami: Sure.
Tanya: OMG, hi Shadow!
Shadow: Huh?
Tanya: *crosses arms* You were sleeping, you dork.
Reis: Kit, when are you getting married to Shadow?
Tnaya: We are waiting till spring. ^_^ *suddenly gasps* I'm going to be fat in April. Reis, can we get married earlier than that?
Reis: Uh. . .*nods*
Kitami: *looks at Shadow* Did you really just sleep through that whole coversation? *deadpan*
Shadow: *blushes* Maybe. . .
Kitami: Fine then, it wasn't important.
Nata: My-
Kitami: Natasha! And you tell me to watch my language!
Nata: *blush* Oops. Unintentional.
Kitami: If you say so. Hey, where's Aiyen-chan?
Nata: With Lil-san and Mazel-san.
Kitami: Dammit. She's supposed to be the responsible one! Aiyen-chan is more her kid than the twins.
Nata: For what it's worth, you more than compensate.
Kitami: What's that mean?
Nata: It means you make a pretty awesome mother.
Kitami: Ah, we're back to this again.
Nata: *shrugs* Apparently.
Ebeny: Okay, I'm back. Did you tell him?
Kitami: Ah, no.
Ebeny: Kay. . .I will do my magic. It's not perverted. Hey, Shadow.
Kitami: Magic is always perverted.
Ebeny: Oh well. Shadow, don't you think Kitami would make a great mother. *looks at Kitami to see how she reacts*
Kitami: *narrows eyes and Ebeny*
Ebeny: Well, you didn't say anything.
Kitami: *sigh*
Ebeny: Oh well. So, has anyone seen Bobica?
Kitami: Not since. . .uh. . .when was sthe last time she was here?
Ebeny: I don't know. Can you call her or something?
Kitami: Me? Why me? You do it!
Ebeny: It still gives me a headache.
Kitami: *is trying to keep a straight face* Is that why you left the doctor alone? *innocent*
Ebeny: *glares* Just call her please!
Kitami: *rolls eyes and snaps fingers*
Bobica: *appears* What in the world is going on!?
Kitami: *mouths the word 'oh' and points at Ebeny*
Bobica: What the hell do you want?! Don't you know I'm busy?
Ebeny: *sits quietly*
Kitami: *snickers*
Bobica: *glares at Kitami* I didn't tell you guys, did I?
Kitami: Um. . .nope.
Bobica: Well, you know I'm a little crazy, but the secretary offered mea job at the Charlie Brown House.
Kitami: Congratulations.
Bobica: I don't know if I'll take the job.
Kitami: You should.
Bobica: I'm only Stage Two, I have the be Stage Three to graduate.
Kitami: So learn. *rolls eyes*
Bobica: Stage Two in the metal institute, not in classes.
Kitami: That's. . .not what I mean. Nevermind.
Bobica: I might be moved down to level one again. In fact, I can get in a lot of trouble being here, so can I go now?
Kitami: *waves hand dismissively* Ask Ebeny. She told me to bring you.
Ebeny: Nevermind, it can wait. *starts to disappear, then stops* You want to get pregnant, Kitami!
Kitami: It's not as if we've already established this or anything.
Bobica: He doesn't know, does he?
Kitami: Unless he fell asleep again he does now. *mutters about people who don't know when to keep their mouths shut*
Nata: *raises eyebrow*
Kitami: *holds up finger* Not. A. Word.
Nata: *smirks*
Shadow: *was about to say something* You do? You would make a good mother, you know, look at Mai and Tain, they love you.
Reis: Am I going to get answered? Kitami, when are you, Shadow, Itsari and Bob getting married?
Kitami: *looks at Shadow* You would know this had you been awake earlier. It's more of a matter of 'do you want kids'. *looks at Reis* April 7th.
Tanya: Darn we can't make it a triple wedding cause I'm going to be fat then.
Shadow: Yeah, kids are aborable. I just don't think I'd be a good father.
Kitami: You're kidding. The twins love you!
Bobica: She has a point. Well, I got to go so I don't get in trouble. *disappears*
Ebeny: See ya. I will talk to her later. Seriously though, you shouldn't doubt yourself, Shadow. Don't you agree, Kitami?
Kitami: Didn't I just say that? r something close, anyhow.
Ebeny: Yeah, well, ugh!
CT: *comes in* So are you going swimming Tate?
Tate: Erm. . .*not replying*
Shadow: Kit, can we go somewhere else so they aren't evesdropping.
Kitami: Sure! *snaps and disappears*
Shadow: *grins and dsiappears too*
Nata: Well. . .that sounds innocent.
Itsari: No, it doesn't.
Tanya: With Shadow, yeah right.
Itsari: And my twin. *rolls eyes*
Tanya: I knew you guys looked alike.
Itsair: *smacks forehead*
Nata: So. . .any bets that when they come back Kit-kun's pregnant.
Bob: Um. . .I bet she will.
Ebeny: Funny.
Nata: *twitch* Oookay, turning superhuman hearing off now.
Ebeny: *laughs hysterically*
Bob: So what's going on with Bobica again?
Nata: Good question. Um. . .okay, who here has any ability to-
Mai: Nata-san! Nata-san!
Nata: *kneels* What is it, Mai-chan?
Mai: It's Tainy, he's gone!
Nata: Gone?
Mai: Yeah, gone! He went poof like Auntie does, but he didn't show up with me at Mommy's house.
Ebeny: Uh-oh, that doesn't sound good. Any clue where he might have gone?
Bob: Itsari, you want to go look for him, or can we Yank him or something?
Itsari: We can sure as hell try! *snaps*
Bob: Shit, where is he?!
Ebeny: I will search Elsewhere. *runs out door*
Itsari: I din't know! He's being shielded. Dammitall, this is the worst timing! If Lilann would only wain troublwn kids!
Mai: Is Mommy and Daddy in trouble?
Nata: Sari-kun, go.
Itsari: You sure you can handle-
Nata: I'm an android.
Itsari: True. Thanks. *disappears*
Bob: What can I do?
Nata: *hesitates*
Mai: He can go tell Mommy.
Nata: *nods*
Bob: Okay, where is she?
Mai: I can takes us.
Bob: Are you sure? Nata, are you okay with this?
Mai: I can!
Nata: Mai-chan. . .come back?
Mai: *rolls eyes* 'Course I'll come back. I's not like Tainy. I's good at poofing.
Nata: You heard the kid.
Bob: Okay. *takes Mai's hand* Ready?
Mai: *grins, snaps and disappears*
Ebeny: *comes running in* I can't find him!
Stearn: Find who? *still holding suitcase*
Ebeny: Where is Bob?
Nata: He went with Mai-chan to talk to Lilann-san.
Ebeny: Okay, what can we do?
Nata: *shakes head* Hope that Itsari has better luck? Or that the Yanking is just taking a while.
Ebeny: Where might he be?
Bob: *appears* Um. . .where's Mai? I was just with her. And he mom wasn't there.
Nata: Dammit! What the hell is going on!?
Itsari: *appears* There's a ripple in no-space.
Nata: What is it with all these impossible things that keep happening to us?!
Itsari: Karma?
Nata: *gives her a look*
Stearn: *falls to knees* I don't know why this is happening! *grabs head*
Ebeny: Are you oka?! *runs to him*
Bobica: *appears* Sokay, so Earth is not the only place in chaos. What the hell is going on!
Nata: Ripples in no-space. What's going on with the doctor?
Ebeny: No clue! All he is doing is holding his head and mumbling.
Bobica: What's "a ripple"?
Nata: Do you know what no-space is?
Bobica: Yes.
Nata: Oh, good, that makes this so much simpler. A ripple is the shockwave of a universe thats been or is in the process of being destroyed.
Bobica: That is probably why Dr. Stearn is the way he is.
Nata: Hmm. . .A whole universe is dying and we're feeling the effects. Damn, that makes getting Mai and Tain back that much harder.
Stearn: Okay, I'm better now. But we need to find the Council now. Can someone go to the universe being destroyed? *stand up and grabs the wall* I could do it but I'm kind of stuck here cause these stupid things. *shows cuffs* It wouldn't be the first time I've done this.
Bob: I don't know.
Stearn: Well, I'm stuck anyway.
Nata: There's a procedure for this kind of thing, oh dammitall, where'd they put that file!?
Itsari: *snaps and folder appears in hand* This?
Nata: *snatches folder*
Reis: So we're all going to die?
Tanya: I'll be right back. *runs of*
Reis: Bet shey's getting Ayan.
Nata: *sighs* We aren't going to die.
Itsari: One second and. . .got it. *snaps and map appears* *points* This is the multiverse. Here *points again* is the dying universe. It's not that large, and sparcely populated. We're only feeling the effects because its strings are near ours. Once its gone, the effects will vanish.
Nata: If we send out a summons now, we can have that universe evacuated before then. The main thing is to get Mai and Tain back.
Itsari: The Ripple will have taken them to its point of origin, so that's here we have to go.
Nata: And quickly.
Reis: Okay, got it.
Tanya: *comes back dragging a mumbling Ayan*
Ayan: What did you drag me from S- my inventions for?
Nata: Ripples in no-space. The twins were swept to the origin.
Ayan: *glances at watch* How long till everything there disappears*
Nata: It shouldn't. . .that I know of. Not disappear, per se.
Itsari: More like, crumble to dust. Seventy-two hours.
Ayan: Perfect. *pulls out keys and tosses them to Nata* Keys to my garage. If anone needs to borrow anything. I'm going to try to build something to reverse the ripple, or at least freeze it for long enough to evacuate everyone. *walks off in thought*
Nata: *looks at Tanya* She can do that?
Tanya: *shrugs* She can do a lot of things. She will definately try.
Seth: *shows up* Oh, I gorgot. >.> Ayan yelled at me to get out of her lab, I tested this ages ago for her. *heands a little device to Itsari* Here, Kit, this is that water breathing thing you asked for.
Itsari: *nods and decides not to bother correcting him*
Nata: Do you suppose Ayan-san has something in that garage that can get us all to the Ripple's Origin? I don't think teleportation is the safest way to travel at the moment.
Seth: She has an Onta Jet. She based it off a sketch of Angel's.
Nata: *nods*
Itsari: Okay, who's going and who's staying?
Nata: Going. You're going. Nisa's staying. Don't know about your twin. That covers everyone of Tate's who's here, right?
Itsari: *nods*
Jake: I'm coming and I'm going to go make Shadow come.
Tanya: I'm staying with Reis.
Itsari: Jake, watch what you say. That's Kitami's job. *grins*
Melody: I just say Hi Bitches and Bastards.
Itsari: How the hell did you get here?
Melody: I felt like it so I came!
Itsari: *hides grin*
Nata: *smacks Itsari*
Melody: Don't smack her, let me do it.
Itsari: *snicker*
Nata: *whispers to Itsari*
Itsari: Hey! I resent that!
Nata: *smug look*
Melody: Hey, stop fighting with each other. . .someone fight with me.
Itsari: This is sounding. . .nevermind.
Nata: We're supposed to be ging now. Move it, people!
Melody: I'm not leaving without you meeting my sisters and my daughter. *kiss, kiss* I love my spawn.
Itsari: Well, bring 'em with you!
Melody: So where are we going?
Itsari: *points to place on map* This universe using some jet in Ayan's garage. . .
Nata: *rolls eyes*
Melody: *random door shows up, knocks on door*
Shian: Where the hell did that come from?!?
Melody: Where the hell did you come from?!?
Shian: *snickers* Same place you did. . .*falls to the floor laughing*
Melody: Eveyone, this is one of my sisters.
Shian: *still wondering how she got there*
Itsari: You don't really want me to explain reproduction do you?
Nata: *smacks* Itsari! Mind out of the gutter, now!
Itsari: Like you weren't thinking it.
Nata: *gives Itsari a look*
Shian: *trys to smack Itsari but hits herself in the face* One, No, I meant I want to know how I wound up with all of you. I was just with my husband. . .oh shit. Two, you moved, that's cheating.
Melody: HOW COULD YOU GET ANOTHER HUSBAND SO QUICK. . .WHAT ABOUT KILECY, YOU KNOW, YOUR DAUGHTER!!!!!
Shian: So, new topict, who has something to say?
Itsari: I'm just gonna. . .uh, bye! *runs*
Nata: *twitches at grammar*
Shian: *takes Itsari's idea and runs*
Nata: Itsari, the garage is this way!
Itsari: *is back* I knew that.
Nata: Did not!
Itsari: Did so!
Nata: This is mature.
Itsari: Really?
Nata: No, boge.
Itsari: Hey!
Shian: *is back too* Kay. Oh, leaving bye!
Melody: *said too late* Hey what about. . .
Itsari: *raises eyebrow curiously, walks away*
Nata: *follows*
Melody: Wait, come back!
Itsari: *holds out hand* Key?
Nata: Not on your life. I'm driving. *unlocks garage*
Itsari: Spoilsport.
Melody: *orbs key to herself* No, I'm driving. I'm faster, just give me directions! Order not a wish.
Itsari: *snaps and holds up key, then puts forcefield around it*
Nata: Sari-kun. . .
Itsari: *innocent* Yes?
Nata: Nevermind.
Melody: *orbs key and forcefield* Fine then, bye.
Itsari: *holds up real key* Sucker.
Nata: Sari-kun, be nice! *takes key*
Itsari: *hops in vehicle*
Nata: *follws, turns on vehicle and stashes key*
Melody: *waiting on planet* Hey, I'm friends with your mom. Come on, I'll take you home, seeing as it's been an hour already.
Nata: *looks at Itsari* Who's she talking to?
Melody: Oh, hi guys. What took you so long?
Itsari: *nods* Interesting. C'mon, Nata, we've got work to do.
Nata: Agreed.
Melody: Oh, hi guys. The twins are this way.
Nata: That's a forest of snare-plants. *deadpan*
Itsari: C'mon, Nata-kun. I bet we can find 'em.
Nata: *looks at vehicle* Stay here.
Itsari: You speak as if its sentient.
Nata: How do you know it isn't?
Itsari: Snarky today, aren't we?
Nata: I have not yet begun to snark.
Itsari: Uh-huh. I'm scared.
Nata: Hey!
Itsari: *rolls eyes*
Stearn: What about the Council? Are they in that universe? Can I do anything?
Ebeny: I can do anything needed.
Stearn: Actually. *puts hand on Ebeny's shoulder* You're still inexperienced, you should stay here. *takes hand off of Ebeny and grabs head again* Whatever we do, can we do it now!?
Bob: Well, he has a point, Eb.
Ebeny: *sits on ground* So, I can still help. I'll just stay here.
Bobica: I'll stay to help. What can we do?
Itsari: Actually, Ebeny, you and the doctor could go back to Elsewhere and run the Council. I trust you to be in charge. Him, not so much.
Jake: Uh. . .Shadow's gone. . .Where's Kit? Didn't. . .didn't they both just disappear to go somewhere else together?
Itsari: Oh dear. . .dammmitall Kitami!
Nata: You do realise that you are the same person. . .
Itsari: Not quite.
Nata: We have to find them too!
Itsari: They'll be at the origin, plausibly with Mai and Tain if they attempted a teleport under these conditions.
Ebeny: So I'll head back to Elsewhere. *stands back up* Come on Dr. Stearn.
Stearn: Can you all please call me John?
Ebeny: Okay, come on John, we hav to go. If you don't come back in say, I don't know, a day, I'm coming after y'all.
Nata: Y'all is not a word! *twitch*
Ebeny: Who the hell cares besides Nata?
Itsari: *raises hand*
Ebeny: *sweatdrop* So if you're not back by tomorrow, I'm coming after you guys.
Itsari: Yes.
Ebeny: Okay. *takes John's hand* See y'all! *disappears*
Nata: *glare*
Jake: So how can we go find them?
Itsari: *points* Let's go this way.
Nata: Agreed.
Bob: Okay, should we split up?
Itsari: *sarcastic* Oh, yes, because we want to lose you, too. *rolls eyes*
Bob: It was just an idea, jeeze.
Itsari: Yeah, well. . .
Nata: What she means is that if you get lost and we can't find you, you could die, and she doesn't like that option.
Bob: I know.
Bobica: Ok, so we go as a group, that makes sense.
Nata: Exactly. *begins walking*
Bobica: What's that? *points at something moving*
Bob: Heh. . .looks like a shadow.
Nata: *shrugs* Could be anything.
Bob: We should go see what it is. *starts walking over to that spot*
Nata: That could be dangerous. . .
Bob: I laugh in the face of danger. Ha ha ha ha!
Bobica: I hate that movie.
Nata: How. . .quaint. . .
Bob: It's an okay movie. *jumps back* What the F-in hell was that? *points at shadowy figure*
Nata: Like I said, it could be anything.
Itsari: Anything?
Nata: *smacks Itsari upside the head* Not like you're thinking, boge!
Bobica: Can't Shadow make him a shadow?
Itsari: I believe so.
Bobica: Maybe that's him.
Itsari: Possibly. But I don't see Kit, and they should be together.
Nata: There's only one way to find out.
Itsari: No.
Nata: Sari-kun, you're immortal. If it turns out to be evil, you're the safest one of all of us.
Itsari: I hate you.
Nata: *grins* I know.
Bobica: Glad I'm not you. Ha ha.
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Mystery: *wandering streets and spots Tanya*
Tanya: *looks at her oddly*
Mystery: You tried to kill me!
Tanya: *eyes widen* I'm sorry! *flees*
Mystery: *chases*
Tanya: Ahhh!
Erin: *catches Mystery by the arm* Don't kill her, she's a moron.
Mystery: *turns on him* She killed me. Oh.
Erin: And she broke my heart. Leave her be. . .I'll help you out if you need it.
Mystery: *collects herself* I'll be fine.
Tanya: *trips as vines wrap around her legs*
Mystery: *walks away calmly*
~ ~ ~ ~ ~
Shadow: *turns human holding Kit close* Hey guys. . .where are we?
Nata: *raises hand* Ask her. *points to Itsari*
Shadow: *turns to Itsari* Where are we?
Itsari: *sigh, long trilling sound followed by a click*
Shadow: Kay.
Itsari: Kit, have you seen the twins?
Kitami: I haven't seen anything. Ask him. *points to Shadow*
Shadow: No, I haven't seen them.
Itsari: Damn!
Nata: You haven't seen anything?
Kitami:Nothing at all. Apparently the ripple caused me to go blind.
Bobica: That sucks. Thank god you really aren't. We should keep looking.
Bob: Leave it to Sherlock *points to Bobica* to point out the obvious.
Bobica: Shut up.
Bob: *pulls duct tape out of pocket* Why don't you? *unrolls some tape* *laughs*
Bobica: Where'd you get that?
Bob: I brought it with me. I always have it with me.
Bobica: Let's just keep looking.
Bob: Fine.
Itsari: Why do you care duct tape, anata?
Nata: *raises hand* I, for one, would rather not know. Nor do we have time to find out. Discuss it on your honeymoon.
Itsari: Just discuss?
Nata: You have issues.
Itsari: I know. *grins* Ain't it great?
Nata: *cringe* There are so many things wrong with that statement, I don't know where to start.
Bob: *grins* You don't have to think about it. I have it for reasons.
Bobica: Gross!
Itsari: *bites lip to refrain from saying something Nata would object to*
Bob You know you can say it.
Itsari: *glances at Nata* It's probably better that I don't.
Bob: You're probably right. You're. . .
Bobica: *interrupting* Stop jabbering you two and get moving.
Itsari: Hush. I'm what? *starts walking*
Bob: You're right about everything.
Itsari: Not everything.
Bob: To me you are.
Itsari: *shrugs* Thanks. . .I think.
Bob: You shouldn't doubt yourself.
Itsari: I don't. I'm a realist. Everyone is wrong sometimes.
Bob: Okay.
Ruby: *giggles* Can I borrow the duct tape please?
Itsari: *raises eyebrow* Why?
Bob: *puts into his pocket* I don't think you would like this tape, but you can have this piece. *hands Ruby tape*
Bobica: Stop fooling around. Hey, there's Mai! *points to a small girl on the ground*
Bob: Damn, she don't look too good. *starts running toward her*
Bobica: Probably just scared.
Itsari: Or injured. Wait up! *follows Bob*
Bob: *stops for Itsari* I hope she's okay. *reaches Mai and checks for pulse* She is still breathing, but barely. We should get her to a respirater.
Itsari: Respirator? Anata, she's immortal. SHe'll wake up with a bit of coaxing and recover herself. *puts fingers on Mai's forehead*
Mai: *blinks* Ama? *looks up* Auntie?
Itsari: Mai-chan. How are you?
Mai: *sits up* Fine. Where's Tainy? He was with me.
Itsari: *mutters to self, then glances up* Nata!
Nata: Hmm?
Itsari: Tain should be around here somewhere. Shadow can find him faster than you, so can you watch Kit-kun?
Nata: Certainly.
Ruby: *stares at piece of tape distastefully* Bleck. *disappears and piece of tape falls to ground*
Shadow: Be careful Kit. *turns into a shadow and speads out across ground, moving off to search*
Jake: *stumbles as comes to a sudden stop, was moving fast* I think Ayan called the ship back. I was watching it and no one went in, but it suddenly lifted off the ground!
Kitami: Ama Silicate!
Itsari: Kitami!
Kitami: *sheepishly* Sorry. *mutters* It’s never easy.
Nata: And you accuse me of line theft. *shakes head* Once we’ve got Tain, all we have to do is ride the shockwave out, ne?
Kitami: From the center of the center of the origin. Easier said than done. First we hav to get there. And trust me, it’s not a fun place.
Nata: From you that’s almost-
Kitami:Don’t say it!
Nata: Spoilsport.
Kitami: Be nice. You’re supposed to be watching me.
Nata: *dryly* You think I can’t look at you and insult you at the same time?
Bob: So now all we have to do is wait, or should we start heading for the ship?
Nata: Did you completely miss the fact that the ship just left?
Bob: I wasn’t really listening.
Nata: Well, listen now. The ship has left. We are stranded. As soon as Shadow returns with Tain-chan, we’re going to the origin point and riding the shockwave out of this place. Capiche?
Kitami: Who says that?
Nata: I do!
Kitami: Freak.
Nata: Ditto.
Kitami: *gasp of indignation*
Itsari: *giggles* Y’know, Tate was right about the subtext.
Nata and Kitami: Hey!
Bobica: That doesn’t sound easy.
Bob: That’s cause it isn’t. Gawd, you’re stupid.
Nata: It isn’t easy, but it isn’t impossible.
Kitami: Hurry up, anata.
Mai: Is Tainy gonna be alright?
Itsari: He’s an Immortal. Of course he’ll be alright.
Bob: Well, how long will it take to get there?
Kitami: Let’s see. . .one blind woman, two injured Zero’s and a hostile environment. Whadda you think?
Nata: She means that it’s impossible to calculate. It’s the mood swings talking.
Bob: *surprised look on face* Okay, makes sense.
Bobica: Duh. * sits down* So what now?
Kitami: We wait for my Shadow.
Itsari: Poor Kitkun. Wouldn’t a shot of setebal help?
Kitami: Prolly. But I didn’t think to bring any with me, and teleportation isn’t an option.
Itsari: Geez, sorry.
Bob: Can we teleport stuff here?
Nata: Not with any success. The ripple would set it down anywhere, you’d never find it. Fortunately, I am equipped to synthesize small amounts of setebal.
Kitami: Yeah? Then hurry up with it!
Itsari: Someone’s cranky.
Kitami: *hisses* No dip.
Bob: Just let her have it.
Nata: *dryly* That’s Shadow’s job.
Bob: *sweatdrop* Not what I meant.
Nata: Ah, but it is what you said.
Kitami: Just synthesize already.
Nata: I have been.
Kitami: Then hand it over.
Nata: This is ridiculous. Whose idea was it for you to get knocked up right before the major plot twist?
Kitami: Careful, watch out for the fourth wall.
Nata: *rolls eyes* Ready for a setebal injection?
Kitami: I’ve been ready for ours.
Nata: It’s been ten minutes. *peels the ‘skin’ off right pointer finger and unscrews cap to expose needle*
Kitami: She did that freaky finger-to-needle trick, didn’t she? *shudders*
Itsari: Be glad you couldn't see it.
Kitami: Oh, I am.
Nata: *injects Kitami at the base of the neck* There.
Kitami: Ah, setebal. Too bad I didn't have any at Djuna's birth.
Itsari: Poor Zero, lost to the mortals.
Kitami and Itsari: *sigh*
Bob: What?
Bobica: Happened?
Kitami and Itsari: When?
Kitami: The setebal?
Itsari: Or Djuna?
Nata: You two. . .
Kitami and Itsari: What?
Nata: Nevermind.
Bobica: The Djuna.
Kitami: Djuna is my son by a Mortal. My first child. I haven't seen him since I lost his father a mortal chick with a frying pan. He would be. . .fourteen earth years. With the whole dying and being reborn thing, by the time I applied for custody it was too late.
Bobica: Wouldn't that mean that you're not immortal anymore because of that and he is half immortal?
Kitami: After my rebirth I was Bonded back. And dear 'June is a subspecials. Though, until May I am Mortal. Damn our gestation period.
Nata: It's shorter than the humans.
Kitami: Hmm, true.
Bob: When did that happen?
Bobica: Please, don't answer.
Bob: Nevermind. When did it happen as is a boy or girl or twins?
Bobica: *smiles* Ooh, if they are twins, good luck.
Bob: Unfortunate for our mother, she had a mental child.
Bobica: And stupid.
Bob: *glares*
Kitami: Right before we discovered the twins were gone. And. . .I think it's a girl.
Ruby: Mommy's here. *points up at ship*
Shadow: *appears holding Tain* I found him near a part of the ground that looked like water. Well, it wasn't water, it was shimmering like water though. . .
Ayan: *drops to ground and lets ship land* Okay, it was hard to do, but based on my calculations, this should do the trick. *mumbles a bit then pulls out from pocket a small device* I can't guarantee it will stop the rupple but it should hold it back for another hour or so.
Mai: Tainy? Auntie, is Tainy gonna be alright?
Kitami: Sari-kun, if you'll wake him?
Itsari: Of course. *puts fingers across Tain's forehead*
Tain: *blinks* What happened?
Mai: Tainy! You's alive! *Glomps*
Tain: Hi, Mai-Mai. I know we're immortal, but I wanna breath?
Mai: Sorry.
Itsari: We should get back to Elsewhere so we can examine Kit-kun and see what damage Nisa, Ebeny and the doctor caused.
Shadow: *sets Tain down* Let's go.
Ruby: *giggles and disappears*
Itsari: Um. . .is it safe to be teleporting?
Kitami: Very carefully. The effect is lessened this close to the Origin.
Nata: Perhaps we can discuss this when we get back to Elsewhere?
Ayan: Technically it's not dangerous for her. I'm not quite sure why not, but it's not.
Nata: Interestingly enough, we're still here.
Ayan: *nods and activates device* Okay, everyone onto the ship.
Nata: Shadow, get Kit. Mai, Tain, follow me. Bob, Bobica and Itsari. . .I guess they already went? *goes on ship*
Itsari: We're here.
Shadow: *nods and hugs Kit* Come on. *goes to ship*
Ayan: *looks around* Okay, good. *puts device on ground and walks onto ship and drives it*
Mai: Are we there yet?
Tain: Yeah. We there yet?
Ayan: Ten more minutes.
Mai: Has it been ten minutes yet?
Ayan: *nods* Ten more minutes.
Mai: Are we there yet?
Ayan: Ten more minutes. *presses a button and TV raises out of the ground*
Mai: When can I get married like Mommy?
Ayan: When your mom says you're allowed.
Mai: But we barely talk to Mommy!
Ayan: Uh. . .*makes TV disappear and turns around after turning on auto-pilot* Wait till you're at least 20.
Mai: But Auntie's ten!
Bob: And how old are you?
Mai: *mumbled* I'm a Zero.
Ayan: *smiles* I'm not sure exactly how all the immortals runes work, but I think you should wait till at least twenty, earth years. Is that fine? *looks at Kitami and Itsari*
Kitami:* Under Immortal Law, a Zero has no right to be married. No one has a right to anything until they get a Status at One. Don't worry Mai-chan, you'll get to it. You've got eternity.
Itsari: Literally.
Nata: *cough* Line theif. *cough*
Bobica: Don't worry, time passes faster than you think.
Kitami: Not for us Aenarene it doesn't.
Bobica: Way to put someone's hopes underground.
Kitami: I'm not going to lie to my neice. Honesty is a trait my people prize and - nevermind.
Bobica: What?
Kitami: I. . .we. . .*motions to Itsari* It's. . . *shakes head* It's nothing. Nevermind.
Bobica: What!
Kitami: How much do you know of Aenarene culture?
Bobica: Very little. Just explain, I'll catch up.
Kitami: Fair enough. Our social structure was built by five families. We've intermingled until there are so many houses now, but everything began with the Five Families. The Atali Miaska, Tellirs, Katata, and Agasi. As the years since the last Evolution passed, the Five Families grew apart. But where the first four became allies again, the condition of the Agasi. . .deteriorated.
Nata: To put it mildly.
Kitami: Mikalis Agasi had three wives and four children, and a maid with no status. His first wife was a Mortal, and when he realized his Halfling son couldn't be his heir, he tossed him to the maid. The same with his second wife's daughter. The Agasi are ruthless. Most of them are Freelance. Smugglers, traders, prostitutes. The few who aren't bribed their way up. When his third wife finally produced an heir. . .he killed my older brother, sponsored my older sister, and put my twin on a pedestal. Then he kicked me and Adra out.
Bob: That sucks.
Bobica: So who is Adra?
Jake: And. . .where is Adra? *turns around* How is he already asleep?
Kitami: Adra was my maid. . .nurse. . .surrogate mother. . .we were imprisoned seperately. Because of her plea on my behalf. . .I wouldn't be surprised if she were dead.
Bobica: That doesn't sound good, the killing part. *shudders*
Bob: Isn't there a way to see if she is still alive? Was she mortal or immortal?
Bobica: Duh! She was most likely mortal if she was killed.
~
Ebeny: Damn you, John!
John: What!?
Ebeny: I told you to stop touching me. *throws frying pan*
John: You're the one who likes me.
Ebeny: Yeah! So, I don't want you touching me. You're gay!
John: Not any more. . .*looks down*
Ebeny: Oh. . .*looks away*
~
Kitami: She was Aenarene. There are nanites, Kakani inducing nanites. . .that's how Mikalis killed my brother. Shadow knows, I made sure to tell him right after he proposed.
Itsari: Bob, I was going to take you away and tell you as soon as this. . .chaos abated.
Bob: Don't worry. I know no, unless there is something else you need to tell me.
Itsari: I. . .um. . .okay. C'mon. *motions to back of vehicle* *looks at Kit* You told Shadow the full story?
Kitami: *nods*
Itsari: Good.
Timmy: *appears* Hi, I'm Timmy. *disappears*
Ayan: Okay, this ground attracts the oddes circumstances. *turns back towards controls*
Kitami: Um. . .*points to where Timmy was* What was that and how did it get here?
Nata: It's like the smart one said, we attract strange people. Just look at that weird person Sari-kun and I ran into on the way here.
Kitami: Oh, I can't wait for things to go back to normal.
Nata: Things were normal?
Kitami: . . .less chaotic?
Nata: *raises eyebrow* You without chaos. Interesting concept, but-
Kitami: How about the laws of physics start working?
Nata: We're on our way to Elsewhere.
Kitami: I'm not going to win this, am I?
Nata: *smirk* What do you think?
Kitami: I think I should shut up before I get in trouble.
Nata: Good idea.
Kitami: *pouts, then grins and moves to sit in Shadow's lap*
Nata: Oh, get a room.
Kitami: Hey Ayan-san, got a room where I can wake my Shadow up properly?
Nata: *rolls eyes* You are such a perv.
Kitami: Oh, like you and Jake don't do wicked things?
Nata: Not as wicked as you.
Kitami: Is that an admission?
Nata: No! *sweatdrop*
Kitami: It is.
Nata: Is not!
Kitami: *giggle*
Nata: *glare* You are such a pain in the-
Kitami: Watch what you say, Nata-kun. Remember the children.
Tain: *snores quietly*
Mai: *tugs on Kitami's sleeve* Auntie? What're 'wicked things'?
Kitami: *sweatdrop*
Nata: Who should watch what they say?
Kitami: You are enjoying this entirely too much.
Nata: Yes, I am. Go on, explain it to her.
Mai: *tilts head curiously*
Kitami: Well, um, 'wicked things' are very bad, grown up things that you don't need to think about until you're old enough to marry.
Mai: How old were you when you started thinking about them, Auntie?
Kitami: Er, um, about one of our years.
Mai: So when can I start thinking about them?
Kitami: Erm. . .uh. . .Nata? A little help?
Nata: *laughs*
Kitami: Natasha!
Nata: Oh, alright already. *picks Mai up and sets her in lap* Mai, you don't need to think about things like that yet, okay? When you're ready, the thoughts will come on their own.
Mai: How will I know what they are?
Nata: You just. . .will.
Tain: Mai-mai, they's talking about growed-up dating stuff. Leave it alone. *rolls over sleepily* And talk quieterer, I'm trying to ssleep.
Mai: *nods* Oh, you's talking about sex.
Nata: *chokes*
Kitami: *laughs* Sounds remnicient of Enterprise.
Nata: Now who's enjoying herself too much? I told you not to leave the computer on with all that junk you put in it!
Kitami: It's not junk, it's literature.
Nata: It's porn.
Kitami: It is not! It's NC-17 rated slash. There's a difference.
Nata: *snorts* Sure. Besides, she's not 17.
Mai: *giggles* So when can I-
Tain: Mai-mai! I don't wanna hear 'bout it.
Mai: You're no fun, Tainy. *pouts*
Tain: Go to sleep. Maybe you'll have a rev-e-lation and you won't have to ask.
Nata: You have way too much influence on that child. If I knew how to contact Lilann, I would.
Kitami: Actually. . .
Nata: Actually what?
Kitami: I got a package from Lilann just before we left.
Nata: What kind of package?
Kitami: I'll tell you after I discuss it with Shadow.
Ayan: *tries to ignore conversation* Uh, yeah, there is a room in the back, and what have you been teaching her?
Kitami: Nothing, I swear! I just forgot that she could read and left the computer running a couple times. . .
Ayan: Oh. . .
Ruby: I can read too, mum!
Kitami: *grins* So I can really use that room back there?
Ayan: *nods cautiously*
Kitami: *grins wider* Great! *stands up, picks up Shadow and carries into room*
Nata: This can not end well. . .
Ayan: Yeah, uh. . .*turns off cameras*
Mai: *giggles* Are they gonna-
Nata: Mai!
Mai: Sorry. . .but are they?
Nata: . . .most likely.
Mai: Can I watch?
Nata: *sweatdrop* No!
Ayan: No!
Jake: Huh, no what?
Nata: Mai-chan wants to go watch Kit-kun and Shadow in the other room. . .
Jake: Why, what are they do -NO!
Nata: I see we understand each other.
Jake: Yeah. Why are they. . .while there's kids around?
Nata: It, uh. . .started with a conversation that deteriorated. . .rather quickly. They Itold them to get a room. . .so they did.
Jake: Oh.
Ayan: We're going to be there soon. Uh, should we just leave them there?
Nata: *yelling over shoulder* Hey, Kit, we're almost there!
Kitami: So're we!
Nata: *rolls eyes* Beacuse I needed to know that.
Ayan: *coughs*
Nata: Um. . .leaving them sounds like a good idea.
Ayan: *nods* Yeah, and we're here by the way. *motions towards window*
Nata: Oh thank god! *drags Jake off ship*
Itsari: *walks out, leading Bob*
Nata: *calls over shoulder* Hey, sis, you coming?
Kitami: Not yet! Give me a minute!
Nata: Why do I get the feeling she took that entirely differently than the way I meant it?
Itsari: Because she's her.
Bob: So that was a lot to take in. . .
Bobica: What?
Bob: You'll find out another time.
Ebeny: *runs out* Good, you're back. *still holding rying pan* Everything went great other than John getting massive headaches.
Itsari: And groping you. *taps head* Telepathy comes in handy when keeping tabs on people.
John: *walks out* Well, it wasn't exactly groping.
Itsair: It was at first. I stopped keeping tabs at that point.
Ebeny: You should have kept listening. It only got funnier. The frying pan came in handy.
John: My head still hurts. Both of them.
Itsari: I'll bet. *smirk, whispers to Ebeny*
Nata: Itsari!
Bob: Just say it out loud, come on.
John: I want to know!
Itsari: You sure?
John: Yeah.
Itsari: Alright. I asked her if you were any good.
John: Well?
Ebeny: No comment.
Itsari: *stage whisper toward John* That's a 'yes'.
John: I sure hope so.
Bobica: That's just gross!
Bob: Ew. . .*takes a step back*
Nata: Alright, Sari-kun, you've had your fun.
Itsari: No I haven't. Kit-kun got to the room first.
Bob: We can find one. . .let's go back to my house. Or the Charlie Brown House sounds fun too.
Bobica: Oh no you don't.
Bob: *takes Itsari's hand* Where do you want to go?
Itsari: Is the throne room of the Council Building too kinky?
Nata: Yes! You fricking perv!
Itsari: *bows* At your service. Well, actually, at his. . .
Bob: I'm fine wherever.
Itsari: *purrs* Yes, you are.
Nata: Get a room!
Itsari: *grins* Okay. C'mon, dear. *walks away with Bob*
Nata: I can't believe I'm related to her.
Kitami: *exits vehicle, carrying sleeping twins* I heard that.
Nata: Good. Where's Shadow?
Kitami: Sleeping off the afterglow.
Nata: Eloquent.
Kitami: *correcting* Tactless.
Nata: Exactly.
Kitami: Izzactly.
Nata: Not a word.
Kitami: I don't care.
Nata: I do.
Kitami: Good for you.
Nata: Does it seem like our conversations all end up the safe?
Kitami: Yeah. Kinda. Different, but the same.
Nata: Oh, that makes sense. *rolls eyes*
Kitami: Sad thing is, it does.
Shadow: *standing in doorway with no shirt on* Are we supposed to be doing something else or can we still claim the room together, Kitten?
Tanya: Shadow, you're missing something.
Reis: *smirks* You're not, yet.
Tanya: *hits playfully*
Timmy: *appears* Hi, I'm Timmy. *disappears again*
Kitami: *smiles* Anata, we need to talk.
Nata: This sounds bad.
Kitami: It's not. *hands Nata twins* Here, watch them for a bit, kay?
Nata: Um, sure.
Kitami: THanks. *leads Shadow off*
Shadow: Okay. *follows*
Timmy: *appears* Where's she taking Uncle Shadow?
Nata: . . .Uncle?
Timmy: Yeps!

Kitami: What do you think of the twins?
Shadow: They're cut, but, well, I don't know, shouldn't they be closer to their parents?
Kitami: Lilann and Mazel are in trouble. I mean not trouble trouble, but they're caught up in something dangerous. Lil-san doesn't know when they'll be finished.
Shadow: Like. . .near death trouble? Should we help them?
Kitami: No, they're. . .they're part of Lil-san's earth's First Contact with the Spindle-Builders. THey odn't need any help. They just don't know how long it will be before they can come back. *adds* Aiyen-chan is living with them, though.
Shadow: So they're not coming back for a while?
Kitami: *nods, quietly* She sent me adoption forms. We've got first dibs, but if you think it's too much we can pass the forms on. . .
Shadow: No, we can adopt them. *hugs* I know you love them, and they love you.
Kitami: We all love you, too.
SHadow: *blushes* I'm not that great.
Kitami: Yes you are. . .in more ways than one. *wicked grin*
Shadow: *grins back* So now that that's decided can we be, oh, how'd you phrase it, do naughty things again? *grins more*
Kitami: Sounds lovely. Think that room is still free?
Shadow: Yeah.
Kitami: Then let's go. I'll file those forms later.
Shadow: Sounds great, Kitten.
