DiscoDude: ---BEGIN SESSION---
DiscoDude: Session logging commenced
Kalos: "Fine! I'll tell you everything." 'Dragon girl' apparently isn't full of integrity, and is a bit loose lipped.
"Milo's is wizard-turned-vampire that lived in Ulvistar- and apparently set his sights on puppeting a kingdom of his own- namely, The stand-thief there. He's now living in Pyolres along with the Jerboa's people, and set to eliminating all other claimants to the throne."
Kalos: "But if you ask me, I think he's just trying to impress his girlfriend." she crossed her arms and sighed again.
Katsumi(勝美): "What girlfriend is that?" Katsumi asked, lifting a brow
Kalos: "Sophie." she said simply, as if expecting you all to somehow know who that is.
Gaemus, to you, Milo is actually a familiar name now that you think about wizards- he was banished from Aizenbur for messing around with magics that were considered unethical, and he fled to Ulvistar, or in particular, Astura. "The city in the snow, where you can get anything you want."
Kalos: [AREA KNOWLEDGE: AIZENBUR]
Katsumi(勝美): (EDIT, LOL)
Katsumi(勝美): "That's... A nice name... But don't tell us much."
Kalos: "Sophie? oh, sorry, I guess I should have said it like- " she moves her still working arm to her mouth, and clears her throat, or at least mocks doing so. <:gogo:412055471575400452><:gogo:412055471575400452><:gogo:412055471575400452> "Star-Stone SOPHIE Fate-In-Twain"<:gogo:412055471575400452><:gogo:412055471575400452><:gogo:412055471575400452> she moves her hands all dramatically.
Kalos: This is only slightly more familiar to Gaemus- she's another vampire. The Curse of Arct.
Kalos: She's pretty monstrous- but doesn't go about the whole 'raising armies of zombies' for whatever reason, just kind of making a little bit of hell wherever she goes.
Katsumi(勝美): "Well, interesting. Anything you can tell that can be of help, should fate be it so, that we met those two individuals?"
Gaemus: "They're vampires. Pretty nasty, we might want to be careful if they all have powers like this."
Kalos: "Milo's cool and has cool stuff. Sophie sounds kind of awful- I don't know what he sees in her."
Katsumi(勝美): "I bet you find Milo quite the charmer~"
Kalos: "Yea, really was. Words so sweet..." she kind of reminisces for a moment. "If he wasn't out to kill you you'd like him too!"
Katsumi(勝美): "Are you sure that wasn't just vampire magic?"
Kalos: "What're you talking about?"
Jet: {i hear vampire charm magic has}
Katsumi(勝美): "I mean, don't vampires have this inherit allure for being vampires?"
Kalos: "What're you trying to say here?"
Katsumi(勝美): "I am asking if there's a chance that you've been enthralled by something other than real charm."
Kalos: "Oh, definitely, 10 million Curian Dollars.... mindblowing, really."
Katsumi(勝美): "... Right. That."
Katsumi(勝美): "Very well. Do you have anything else to say?"
Jet: I tell Katsumi to translate something; the gist is that apparently I had to have my memory and free will wiped in order for me to work with you people, and asks where we (the two of us) got these Stands.
Kalos: (Katsumi translates:) "Not really. And I don't know who the hell you are, actually. Or how and why you got your stand. I just know you were supposed to show up while I stalled"
Katsumi(勝美): "Well then."
Katsumi(勝美): "Anyone else want to ask our little dragon something?" Katsumi asks, looking over the others "Consider carefully, since, after all, we might need all the information that we can get."
Kalos: ( Gaemus, Jet?)
Gaemus: (I don't have anything. Seems like we sorta know who our enemies are.)
Kalos: (Timeskip to town, then, at the northeasst coast of Thuen?
Katsumi(勝美): (Wait)
Leune: (can Leune ask something real quick?)
Katsumi(勝美): (Yep!)
Leune: rubs her chin. "You're absolutely certain you have no idea what these two might know, if anything, about the power we wield?"
Kalos: IC channel?
Kalos: "I've not a clue actually. Just who the hell are you, anyway? you weren't part of any of the descriptions."
Leune: smirks.
Leune: "If the scriptures are true, then my fate is to see these champions destroy them."
Katsumi(勝美): "We're just a bunch of cursed adventurers, really, nothing much."
Gaemus: "...It's a terrible curse, you should really leave us alone. It might be contagious."
Kalos: "You two were part of it. I meant the dog."
Katsumi(勝美): "So, the priestess and the prince? Is that so?"
Kalos: "it would have went so well, too, if it weren't for the meddling priestess."
Leune: "Well, perhaps your masters should have kept their eyes on the stars." She exudes confidence, as if the dragon-girl's words are somehow validating her very presence here.
Katsumi(勝美): "Speaking of the meddling priestess. I have a request that you can't deny, before you leave us."
Katsumi(勝美): "And it might be time to do this, just to get this out of the way."
Kalos: "What?"
Katsumi(勝美): "First, kiss the hand of the prince you tried to assassinate, and vow to never again try to harm him or his allies in any way."
Katsumi(勝美): "After that is done, I have a second request."
Katsumi(勝美): "But first, proceed..."
Kalos: (Assuming aryo accepts the offer, she does it. Details will kind of have to be left out as a result-) "I swear never again to try harm you or your allies." she partially quotes word for word. "... and the second?"
Katsumi(勝美): "Kiss the cheek of the one who fixed your arm, rather than letting you suffer a broken arm... Or you can pay for the job in cash, that shouldn't be very hard to calculate."
Kalos: "... who did that?" (She was unconcious when the arm was fixed/reset and braced)
Katsumi(勝美): Katsumi turns to look over Leune
Gaemus: squints suspiciously at Katsumi. What on earth is this.
Leune: crosses her arms and leans in.
Leune: She would say "pucker up," but that would spoil the aura she's trying to project.
Kalos: She looks oddly at Katsumi, wondering if this was some kind of trick leading into transferring chi energy, and then a 'お前はもう死んでいる' , but then leaned in, and planted momentary peck of a kiss on the priestess' cheek. "There, Done?"
Leune: looks at Katsumi, as if to ask her to confirm.
Katsumi(勝美): [Rolling Fast-Talk]
"With my stand, [Sacrificial], you shall never betray your word, or us, unless you wish for the gruesome consequences. You may be on your way once we reach our destination."

Kalos: She blinks. "That's not your stand at all is it."
Katsumi(勝美): FIX YOUR ROBOT
Leune: (look, there ain't no fixin' it unless you want me to do something like)
Kalos: "But no, I'm not going to fuck with you guys anymore, truss me!"
Gaemus: (What's your random number generator source? :B )
Leune: (edge rolls upward for the players, and edge 'em down for whoever's wearing the GM sombrero)
Katsumi(勝美): ( sigh... Sorry)
Katsumi(勝美): Katsumi is silent for a moment
Kalos: (!grollb for groll biased)
Gaemus: We need the loaded dice rng
Katsumi(勝美): "Well then."
Katsumi(勝美): "You may leave at the next stop, unless you want to go on an adventure with us, we merry cursed folk."
Katsumi(勝美): (Sorry, I think we can skip.
I kinda also wanted an excuse to mess with the girl)
Kalos: "...nnaaahhh I'm outta here, I gotta go get this arm fixed."
Katsumi(勝美): "I assumed that, but I had to make sure."
Gaemus: "I knew I should've learned to make healing potions..."
Kalos: https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/spongebob/images/e/ef/ONE_HOUR_LATER_MERMAID_PANTS.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/640?cb=20161030062842
Leune: Somewhere along the way, Leune takes Katsumi aside and says:
Leune: "You're going to have to learn how to lie better. Deception is an integral part of successful Stand combat."
Kalos: The train arrives at the town up here of Luckenberg- http://l7.alamy.com/zooms/1c7154888a404243a26870c9a5fee8e6/market-place-in-hamburg-germany-b6mkj9.jpg Aryo heads off to go see about fixing his wound or whatever.
Katsumi(勝美): "I assume you would be a great teacher on that, Priestess."
Leune: ("One of these days I might get shot in the head or something, and my life will depend on you being able to claim that I was killed in battle with a straight face, and not actually recuperating somewhere safe until I can resume my duties.")
Leune: (yes, I am aware she is not helping her odds by making explicit Avdol comparisons here)
Kalos: the dragon girl absconds as soon as possible.
Its right beside the coast, and thus, the 3 possible locations for the next dragon temple... THere's also a large museum in town! maybe someone there could lead you to more information... none of you did get a good reading of that map.
Katsumi(勝美): Before she absconds...
Katsumi(勝美): "May Kartem bless your travels. May we meet in better terms in the future." Katsumi says to the Dragon girl "Goodbye."
Katsumi(勝美): (No response?)
Kalos: Nope. she just leaves. Doesn't exactly want to be around the party that she failed to assassinate, it seems
Katsumi(勝美): "Hmp... Let's hope this was not a bad decision..."
Katsumi(勝美): "Leune. Say, you said you followed omens up to us. Correct?" Katsumi says, turning to Leune
Jet: (Where are we, currently? Walking the streets?)
Leune: "I did. I watched the stars. Other signs guided me too, but...mostly the stars."
Kalos: You're at the train station, currently
Kalos: this is is the last top going north, trains now switch east and west
Kalos: All around are workers loading and unloading cargo, some of which surely going to the seas
Katsumi(勝美): "Can you check omens to see which of these three points are more likely to be our true destination?" Katsumi says, presenting Leune with the party's map, which has the three points marked on it.
Leune: "...It doesn't work like that," Leune says, furrowing her brow. "When the cosmos chooses to send me a sign, it does so at the time and in the fashion of its own choosing. I can't...read portents on a map."
Leune: (plus i'm pretty sure it hasn't been one full day yet so Leune still can't use her Oracle power)
Kalos: (yep)
Kalos: You can wait in town, too
Kalos: and wait for guidance
Jet: [ Probably all three, with our luck . ] Jet signs in Johkian. He then then moves ahead of the group to leave the station.
Katsumi(勝美): (Katsumi counts as having learnt sign language, right?)
Kalos: (Shore )
Katsumi(勝美): "Well, Jet may be right, maybe all of those three are our destinations. As for what you said, Leune... Of course I didn't expect you to read the portents on the map. Certainly whatever portent you read will lead you somewhere, which we can compare with what we have marked on the map."
Leune: (also Leune can read/speak Johkian now, not perfectly but well enough to carry on a conversation)
Katsumi(勝美): (Right)
Kalos: https://i.gyazo.com/2d0d0c4ec264be1f44571a689ef5635e.png black dots are the possible locations due to bad reading. yellow line is the rail
Leune: "From the looks of things there's one possible destination right nearby."
Kalos: There's also services like fortune tellers and such in town
Kalos: magic item identifiers, the museum... etc;. its a pretty large city
Katsumi(勝美): Katsumi rubs her chin
"I wonder if the correct path is the path of greatest resistance... And if one of us were able to foresee danger, could also foresee the right path..."
Katsumi(勝美): "That is... We have enemies who wish to twart us, after all."
Leune: "There's always the possibility all three are 'correct.'"
Leune: "Perhaps any one of them will lead us to our goal. Or perhaps we will ultimately need to visit all three."
Katsumi(勝美): "Jet already said that- nevermind."
Jet: (“Like I just told you,” Jet might say, if he could see you saying that.) Meanwhile, Jet is leading the way in no particular direction before turning around and signing; [ Where are we going ? I usually find an inn . ]
Kalos: (alternatively, you can of course just ignore the dragon temples and plan for going out of continent)
Kalos: (for where SOPHIE DESU and MILO are)
Gaemus: (We probably need to gain more power first or something)
Katsumi(勝美): [ We are still deciding ] Katsumi answers in sign language, passing the map off to Leune [ But we will probably seek somewhere to rest. ]
Kalos: Inns are of course, strategically placed where travellers will arrive, near the train station.
Kalos: so finding one is a trivial task. the question is how much does one want to pay?
Leune: scopes out the inns not with comfort in mind, but security.
Leune: "We must remain on our guard. Anyone could be a Stand-powered assassin. Anyone. Even certain inanimate objects have been known to possess Stands."
Kalos: got a security or related skill to be able to discern?
Katsumi(勝美): "What."
Katsumi(勝美): "I-inanimated objects? You can't be serious."
Leune: (All she's got is Observation XD)
Katsumi(勝美): ( Might as well roll that? Or at least respond to Katsumi's NANIs)
Kalos: (roll it!)
Leune: !g 11
DiscoDude: <@Leune> rolled 13 (degree -2; failure)
Leune: ("Well this looks safe enough," Leune says, walking up to the dingiest, most run-down looking inn this side of the Happiness Hotel.)
Katsumi(勝美): (It is not too much big of a failure)
Kalos: Leune decides to choose Big BIll's Hell, a 'deserts of Beth' themed inn
Kalos: despite its themed decorations, its of low quality and kind of falling apart, but cheap!
Kalos: only 40$ a night per bed.
Jet: [ Odd choice . I go for the guild standard places , usually . ]
Katsumi(勝美): Katsumi translates to Leune
Gaemus: tries to find some Guild Connections, this place looks terrible :B
Leune: "This should work perfectly. The enemy will never think to look for us at an inn like this. Judging from the smell, they may even be reluctant to step beyond its doors."
Kalos: Gaemus:you have claim to hopsitality, right?
Gaemus: Yep!
Gaemus: Are we still in aizenbur though?
Gaemus: Oh wait we were never
Kalos: Nop, Thuen, but good enough!
Kalos: Gaemus actually has a buddy in town! and by buddy, I really mean an enchanter couple that lives near the town center. A pair of foxes named Adaliso and Dana
Katsumi(勝美): Awww
Kalos: You've met them a few times at guild meetings, they were working on discerning some sort of magical rock full of magical power. you never heard where that got.
Kalos: You can take the party there.
Leune: "I must protest against this. If they are known associates of us they might be used to track us down. But if the rest of the group insists..."
Gaemus: "...You can always stay at the inn."
Jet: Jet signs that if Leune has nothing better to do, he wants to check out the museum.
Katsumi(勝美): "I'd like to meet a nice couple and sleep somewhere that we know that wouldn't betray us for a lot of cash..."
Kalos: It's getting dark, but the museum and all are still open. It's winter, is all.
Kalos: so the sun sets early.
Kalos: 4 pm on the clocktower. aka the big timeloop
Kalos: (so, Where is the party going? all splitting? all to the museum?)
Kalos: (all to foxes?)
Leune: "...If you need a chaperone, I'd be happy to oblige."
Katsumi(勝美): "We could check the museum first, then go to the fox couple..."
Leune: (and yeah, let's meet the foxes first, unless Jet really wants to check out that museum)
Jet: (Jet will go with Leune to the museum if she’s that adamant on not going to the foxes.)
Katsumi(勝美): "Don't get me wrong, Leune, but I trust Gaemus' connections better than... Any Inn."
Gaemus: "You all can go to the museum. I'll go make sure they actually have this much extra space."
Katsumi(勝美): "Alright. Oh, Gaemus, before you go."
Jet: (So Katsumi and Gaemus to foxes, Leune and Jet to museum?)
Kalos: (Gaemus going to foxes, everyone else to the museum is my current understanding)
Katsumi(勝美): Katsumi takes the candles she has bought from that village's candleworker, and gives them to Gaemus.
"These may be modest, but may make a good gift. Candles are always a good thing to have on households."
Gaemus: "Ohh, good idea. Thanks."
Gaemus: only had the Cheap Candles, those aren't very good gifts...
Gaemus: skitters off!
Kalos: Artistic, cool candles~
Gaemus: tries very hard not to drop these.
Leune: (is Katsumi coming to the museum with Jet and Leune?)
Kalos: (are you, Katsumi?)
Leune: ( <@!Katsumi(勝美)> )
Leune: (question answer plz)
Katsumi(勝美): Sorry, was making math
Katsumi(勝美): yes
Katsumi(勝美): Katsumi is going to the museum
Kalos: https://i.ytimg.com/vi/p1TzpYtcyfA/maxresdefault.jpg
Kalos: You guys arrive at the museum! there's a trivial entrance fee of 5$ per, for the museum fund, a somewhat portly blue furred cat-man tour guide stands waiting, in case you desire his help
Kalos: It seems to be largely a museum of art, with a bit of natural history.
Katsumi(勝美): Katsumi pays for the three of them.
Leune: looks around. Natural history will be worth a look later, in case there are any unusual stones, but for now, the art has her curiosity. Could there be any clues in there?...
Kalos: "are you interested a tour?" the cat asks as you three are about to head inside, though its probably unlikely he knows all about every dragon temple.
Leune: "Ah, curator! Yes, a guided tour would be much appreciated!"
Katsumi(勝美): "Well, is it going to cost extra?"
Jet: Jet waves him off and heads directly for the art exhibits.
Leune: has no idea whether this person is a curator or not.
Kalos: "No, It's part of the fee- Come in-" He begins to lead you on a boring tour, a few other people- a pair of humans and a tsar'eets having joined the party, He spends most of his time going on and on about art techniques and other stuff...
Jet: Jet is ignoring the route, of course, and heading off through the exhibits on his own.
Leune: clears her throat.
Kalos: does anyone follow jet?
Leune: "Excuse me, but could you elucidate the historical significance of some of these artworks?"
Katsumi(勝美): Katsumi goes after Jet while Leune is stalling the tour, and tries to get him to follow the group, for the time being.
Jet: [ It is not as if I will be able to read a fat man's lips and appreciate this at the same time . ]
Kalos: Leune you receive what you asked for, as he's pointing to a painting of a very striking human boy in blue clothes https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/b/b6/The_Blue_Boy.jpg/300px-The_Blue_Boy.jpg
Kalos: going on and on about some bullshit about blue paint
Kalos: and how its supposed to be rare or something
Katsumi(勝美): [ But at least we don't lose sight of eachother. ]
Kalos: after the explanation, something very strange happens, you see a ghostly hand stick out of the painting he was talking about as he and the tour guides move on
Kalos: hardly there, outlined, making a beckoning motion to you
Leune: cautiously steps forward.
Kalos: the hand holds itself out, as if to hold yours, the boy in the painting winks.
Jet: Jet is attempting to ignore Katsumi at this point in favor of taking in the landscape in front of him.
Kalos: or maybe you've gone crazy, who knows
Katsumi(勝美): Katsumi gives up on Jet, returning to Leune
Leune: "Katsumi," Leune calls out, "can you see this?"
Kalos: Leune, as you looked away to Katsumi for a moment and looked back, the hand's gone.
Kalos: Katsumi sees nothing
Kalos: except of course the amazing blue boy painting
Katsumi(勝美): "See what?" Katsumi asks
Leune: "There was...a hand reaching out of this painting a moment ago." She cocks her head. "I think I was right to call for another pair of eyes on it. I think there might be a Stand user in this very museum."
Kalos: Jet: anything in particular you're looking for? there's sections for landscape painting, portraits, depictions of war.... and then finally, 'pre-historic art', which includes early-style photos of cave paintings- many of which depict dragons.
Katsumi(勝美): <How do you know if it is an enemy stand? You were a stranger to us before we met, and we didn't consider you an enemy.> Katsumi asks in Johkian, now trying to be secretive, if maybe a bit late for that.
Leune: <It disappeared as soon as I called out for you. If nothing else it's behaving too suspiciously for me to readily call it an ally.>
Jet: Jet takes note of the latter paintings' existence, and decides to browse their section.
Leune: waves her hand close to the canvas itself, as if trying to provoke a response.
Katsumi(勝美): <Fair enough.> Katsumi says, standing besides Leune and looking at the painting <What if the stand user is obvious? You know what I mean?>
Leune: looks in the direction of the tour group. "It could be the tour guide, of course, but it could also be any member of the tour group as well."
Kalos: Leune, as you reach for the canvas- the hand pops out again, and... grabbing onto yours, tugs you inside, pulling you off your feet.
Leune: "AAAAAAAH!"
Leune: is anything but dignified - or quiet - as she's yanked into the painting.
Katsumi(勝美): Katsumi invokes her stand to try and grapple Leune off the painting.
Gaemus: (just like in spongebob)
Katsumi(勝美): <:gogo:412055471575400452>
Leune: is hesitant to summon up her Stand. It could probably let her slip from this thing's grip, but...it might just as easily result in her losing her hand!
Katsumi(勝美): (Leune... IC3?)
Leune: And so she gets vwooped through.
Kalos: Katsumi: your stand Pops up! but it's too slow- you can see Leune there inside the painting now... beside the boy in the painting
Kalos: the boy starts to dance, and slowly walk his way out of the area of the frame
Katsumi(勝美): Katsumi is mortified.
Katsumi(勝美): "You may not want to leave the painting..." Katsumi says, as she tries to give her best impression of an angry look <:gogo:412055471575400452>
Gaemus: begins heading to the museum, eleven minutes away, apparently
Kalos: Gaemus: you actually arrive, assuming you pay your 5$ fee
Kalos: the tour guide took his damn time
Jet: (Where am I during all this?)
Katsumi(勝美): (Well, you managed to stray from the group, enjoy!)
Kalos: In the cave paintings section
Leune: (I'm amused by the idea that Jet might actually be the one getting what we came here for while Leune has casually fallen into an obvious trap)
Katsumi(勝美): Katsumi is ready for when the stand tries to leave the painting.
Jet: (He does have Staid as a Quirk.)
Gaemus: (My money got messed up when we were buying the wagon so I'm not sure how much I have, but it's probably enough to get in lol)
Kalos: the stand and Now Leune are both off the picture frame.
Kalos: and thus cannot be seen
Kalos: at least for now
Kalos: but hey! gaemus showed up
Katsumi(勝美): "Gaemus!" Katsumi exclaims, before lowering her voice
Katsumi(勝美): "Gaemus..."
Gaemus: "Nobody's screaming about seeing ghosts, is everything okay?"
Katsumi(勝美): Katsumi points at the name of the picture, "The Blue Boy", and then at the picture itself.
Gaemus: "...Wow, that's a pretty bad name."
Katsumi(勝美): "Leune is in there. The painting is alive."
Gaemus: "God dammit."
Gaemus: looks around to make sure nobody's looking. If he's in the clear, tries to touch the painting to get in.
Leune: (XD)
Katsumi(勝美): "N-no nonono! What are you doing? What if you get stuck too?! Isn't it better to send your stand through?"
Katsumi(勝美): "You can always dispell it, if it gets stuck."
Gaemus: is already trying to touch the painting oops
Kalos: Gaemus: you reach for the painting anddd
Kalos: you fall in
Katsumi(勝美): "Damnit..."
Gaemus: quietly, "ʰᵉˡˡ ʸᵉᵃʰʰʰ"
Katsumi(勝美): Looks to see if she can see Gaemus in the painting...
Katsumi(勝美): Katsumi waves, to see if he can see her too...
Katsumi(勝美): <@Kalos> ?
Kalos: Gaemus: nope
Kalos: Gaemus vanished.
Katsumi(勝美): Katsumi hangs her head, unsure of what to do.
Kalos: You stand there, the tour guide comes by
Kalos: And sees you looking at a blank painting
Kalos: "Huh.... That's weird."
Katsumi(勝美): "I'd think so myself. Does this happen often?"
Kalos: "isn't this the Blue boy?" he looks at the little plaque
Kalos: which now is blank
Kalos: "Did someone move it?"
Katsumi(勝美): "Well... It is a complicated story... But I saw it happen. I still- I mean, you will think I am crazy..."
Leune: ("He got up and walked off.")
Kalos: "Yea?"
Katsumi(勝美): "But I saw him walk off, as if the frame was a mere window. The girl who you talked to before was there too, and went after him... Inside the painting."
Katsumi(勝美): "I don't know what is happening here..."
Katsumi(勝美): "But at least I know I just didn't imagine it."
Katsumi(勝美): "Because you too see the empty painting."
Kalos: "Yea, sure buddy, and I'm the king of Ulvistar."
Katsumi(勝美): Katsumi frowns
Katsumi(勝美): "I bet you ten bucks you don't touch that painting."
Gaemus: (pfff well you're not supposed to touch paintings)
Kalos: "ten bucks I won't touch it? "
Katsumi(勝美): "You got it, but the frame doesn't count."
Kalos: "... this is a Museum, my Kartem friend."
Katsumi(勝美): "A hundred bucks."
Katsumi(勝美): "Nobody is looking."
Kalos: "I'm looking. this is my job!"
Kalos: "Do you touch paintings where you're from?"
Leune: ("If I say 'yes' will you do it?")
Kalos: "Do you COMPREHEND the damage that does!?"
Katsumi(勝美): "It is an empty painting, what damage can it do?"
Katsumi(勝美): "Are you... Afraid?~ Afraid a crazy old Kartem may be trying to see if this is some kind of magic painting? And trying to get you to do it for her?"
Katsumi(勝美): "I mean, you don't have magic paintings here, do you?"
Kalos: "Maybe the painting being empty itself is a statement of the emptyness of life."
Kalos: "what do you know?"
Katsumi(勝美): "You literally explained that painting before. About the rarity of blue paint and etc."
Kalos: "Yea, and someone moved it."
Katsumi(勝美): "I am pretty sure you are afraid that I am right."
Kalos: "This is clearly modern art, see?" he looks at the plaque, equally blank.
Katsumi(勝美): Katsumi looks at the plaque
Katsumi(勝美): "This was not like this before."
Kalos: "I'm sure you got lost, it's okay. Do you need help finding the way out?"
Katsumi(勝美): Katsumi inhales
Gaemus: modern art
Jet: in this setting
Jet: (Psst, I think he's full of shit.)
Katsumi(勝美): "You have one chance to get ten times 100$ in cash. And it is by touching that painting and proving me it is not magic."
Kalos: (you're not there if you wanted me to roll your detect lies jet, if you have it, heh)
Katsumi(勝美): Katsumi does not have detect lies, joy
Kalos: "YOu're offering me a thousand dollars?"
Kalos: he thinks hard.
Katsumi(勝美): "No shit. That's what the math says."
Kalos: .roll 3d6
Pseudobot: <@!Kalos> Rolled 3d6. Result: (6+2+1) = 9
Kalos: he hears something..
Kalos: "What was that?"
Kalos: his ears twitch, and he turns around- "I heard something tear."
Katsumi(勝美): "Did you? Where?" Katsumi says, looking around "Was it close?"
Kalos: (roll perception)
Katsumi(勝美): !groll 12
DiscoDude: <@Katsumi(勝美)> rolled 12 (degree 0; success)
Katsumi(勝美): (No modifiers applied)
Kalos: You heard it- and follow him away.
Kalos: And... Run into Jet walking this way
Kalos: Museum guy is just walking past
Jet: [ Painting tried to lure me in . I attacked it from where I stood , then gutted its canvas when it lost interest and looked away . ]
Katsumi(勝美): [ Other painting took Leune and Gaemus... Maybe we should have been together. ] Katsumi replied, with a frown.
Katsumi(勝美): [ How many painting here are doing that today? ]
Jet: [ Just the one that I found . With yours , that is two . ]
Katsumi(勝美): [ Let's go back to the one that took Leune and Gaemus. If something is coming out of it, we should be there. ]
Katsumi(勝美): Katsumi begins to walk off.
Kalos: You walk over to it-
Kalos: On The way, you two spot a painting of the town... in sketchy woodcut black and whites
Kalos: Birds eye view, but you can see Gaemus and Leune there!
Kalos: along with a glimpse in the corner of Sword guy
Katsumi(勝美): Katsumi stops on the spot
Katsumi(勝美): [ They are there! What are we to do? ]
Jet: Jet looks around to make sure no one is watching.
Katsumi(勝美): [ No, no! You don't know what this can do to them! You might kill them if you damage the picture! ]
Jet: [ No , just going to attack . ]
Kalos: No one is around at the moment, but just then you hear a gasp- the cat man tour guide
Kalos: "WHO DID THIS!?"
Katsumi(勝美): [ The guide saw your handiwork ]
Katsumi(勝美): [ Run, I will try to misguide him, if he gives chase. ]
Katsumi(勝美): [ Pray you are out of sight when he comes around]
Jet: [ No , you catch up to him . He has no reason to come here . ]
Jet: Jet draws an arrow, aims carefully, and fires at the red man.
Katsumi(勝美): [ You know he saw you when he was going there, right? He heard you ripping the picture up. ]
Katsumi(勝美): Katsumi starts going to meet the guide
Kalos: roll to hit at...
Kalos: -8, far shot/small target
Jet: (Oh come on!)
Kalos: The arrow flies and...
Kalos: .hl
Pseudobot: <@!Kalos>: Right Leg (-2): Reduce the wounding multiplier of large piercing, huge piercing, and impaling damage to x1. Any major wound (loss of over 1/2 HP from one blow) cripples the limb. Damage beyond that threshold is lost. If Holding a shield, double the penalty to hit.
Kalos: .roll 3d6
Pseudobot: <@!Kalos> Rolled 3d6. Result: (1+5+1) = 7
Katsumi(勝美): (he's defending from an overhead attack)
Kalos: roll damage.
Jet: !roll 1d6+2
DiscoDude: <@Jet> rolled 1d6+2 for 5 [1d6 = 3]
Kalos: arrow goes in, he fell to kneeling
Kalos: about now, Katusmi, you reach the guide
Kalos: He's running this way- and will run past you if you don't physically stop him.
Katsumi(勝美): "What happened?!" Katsumi says, trying to get the guide's attention by getting in front of him.
Jet: Jet puts away his weapons to examine his handywork. The allies inside don't seem all that hostile towards the red man anymore.
Kalos: He's absolutely fuming- "That bird must have cut the painting- Only you and he bring Weapons into a museum, and you were in front of my eyes the whole time!"
Katsumi(勝美): "Who would do such a think?! What are you going to about him?!" Katsumi says, holding now the guide by the shouder, trying to pretend to side with the guide, while she summons her stand behind him.
Kalos: "Are you their friend or something!?" Knight of cydonia appears behind him
Katsumi(勝美): (I am not killing him, don't worry)
Kalos: waiting for your command
Jet: Jet goes to find Katsumi.
Katsumi(勝美): "Knight of Cydonia, restrain him." Katsumi drily says.
Gaemus: ("Oh no! Look! A ghost, it must've done it!")
Gaemus: (pff or that, nice)
Kalos: "What?" He's grabbed
Kalos: roll 3d6
Katsumi(勝美): !3d6 (no whammies)
Katsumi(勝美): !roll 3d6
DiscoDude: <@Katsumi(勝美)> rolled 3d6 for 7 [3d6 = 3, 2, 2]
Katsumi(勝美): (this is good, right?)
Kalos: He's well good and caught-
Kalos: "WHAT?" he shouts- "H-HELP ME! THERE'S A GHOST ON ME!"
Kalos: Jet its easy to find katsumi
Katsumi(勝美): "Silence, if you wish to keep your life."
Katsumi(勝美): Katsumi stares him, meneancingly
Katsumi(勝美): <:gogo:412055471575400452>
Jet: Jet makes a "Yo" motion behind him.
Kalos: got intimidation?
Jet: (I was hoping to at least have to explain myself to the curator.)
Katsumi(勝美): (I got it at 10)
Katsumi(勝美): !groll 10
DiscoDude: <@Katsumi(勝美)> rolled 4 (degree 6; critical success!)
Katsumi(勝美): (Holy shit)
Katsumi(勝美): (I don't remember my last critical success)
Katsumi(勝美): <:gogo:412055471575400452> <:gogo:412055471575400452> <:gogo:412055471575400452> <:gogo:412055471575400452> <:gogo:412055471575400452>
Kalos: he faints
Kalos: and falls unconcious in knight's arms
Katsumi(勝美): Katsumi shrugs
"Works for me."
Gaemus: (omfg nice)
Katsumi(勝美): "Knight of Cydonia, place him gently on the ground, resting against the wall."
Kalos: knight does so.
Katsumi(勝美): [ Well, Jet? Haven't we done enough ruckus already? How did it go? ]
Jet: [ I shot the red man once . ]
Katsumi(勝美): [ What happened then? ]
Jet: [ I walked back . Allies did not seem hostile towards him anymore . ]
Katsumi(勝美): [ ... Oh...]
Katsumi(勝美): [ Let's try to find them. ]
Katsumi(勝美): Katsumi then walks off, trying to check the painting she last saw the others.
Kalos: roll search?
Kalos: they're not in that one
Kalos: you'll have to find another, it seems
Katsumi(勝美): don'y have that, will have to roll at default
Katsumi(勝美): !groll 7 (per-5, search)
DiscoDude: <@Katsumi(勝美)> rolled 11 (degree -4; failure)
Kalos: (jet?)
Jet: (Looking for my skill.)
Jet: (Found it.)
Jet: !g 14 (Search)
DiscoDude: <@Jet> rolled 9 (degree 5; success)
Kalos: you find another painting as you and Katsumi go searching
Kalos: the Museum empty now, but one painting is titled 'ship's hold' and its like one of those paintings of fruit in a bowl
Kalos: but there's also crates... and Leune and Gaemus
Kalos: holding the blue boy by the collar
Jet: Jet ties a note around an arrow and fires it into the room: <{I tore up the red man's canvas. I'll do it to the blue boy's too if he doesn't give a good reason not to.}>
Katsumi(勝美): Katsumi takes her scroll case out, and takes one of the sheets of paper out, as well as producing a pen.
Jet: (Retroactive action, I take it?)
Katsumi(勝美): (Sure)
Kalos: you can see the actions in the painting being performed slowly
Kalos: as if updating once every couple seconds
Katsumi(勝美): _Krasumi writes a note <{We can see you, but the movements are... Strange, we can't hear you. Communication ourside might be impossible. If only the movements were fluid, Jet could read your lips... The guide has passed out in fear- It is a long story - Everyone else left the museum
- Krastumi. }>_
Katsumi(勝美): Katsumi passes the note to Jet
Kalos: Both of them plop out of the painting
Kalos: now titled: "Blue Boy, crying."
Katsumi(勝美): Katsumi falls back, in surprise
Katsumi(勝美): "AAAAH!"
Jet: Jet makes a "Yo" wave behind him.
Leune: brushes herself off and says: "Let us be gone from this place and never return."
Gaemus: topples onto the floor. "For some reason, I feel like we got the bad ending..."
Kalos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Tdu4uKSZ3M begins to slowly play
Kalos: The red man appears in the painting
Leune: "If their aim was to harm us, then justice has been done. If not, then they are no concern of ours. Let us be done with this place. I shall have difficulty looking at fine art for some time, I fear..." She shudders.
Jet: [ By the way , there was some amazing cave paintings back there . Might be relevant to what you were talking about . ]
Gaemus: "I'm gonna have to come back here some day to sort those two out."
Kalos: (about to !end)
Kalos: (all good?)
Jet: (Not going to move on to the cave paintings?)
Katsumi(勝美): Katsumi watches on the painting, as it likely will begin to depict the blue boy being murdered.
Katsumi(勝美): (I am good to end)
Gaemus: (Yeah)
Leune: "...We'll check those out after we've had a rest. And I think I need a long rest."
Leune: (and I'm good)
Kalos: !end
