Kalos' Games #spacecopsic 4/29/2017

DiscoDude: **---BEGIN SESSION---**
DiscoDude: **Session logging commenced**
Cyril: (jojo ending music, recordscratch, intromusic)
Lazuli: (p much)
Keith: ^
Runi: You all wake up slowly- Lily and Keith both in bunk beds together crammed into a small apartment-  On another (somewhat larger) bed across the small bedroom is Cyril- You had a very interesting dream- it was all wierd, like that time you went to blitz and chits and you thought you were some kid named roy- You dreamt up some really strange reality where you were cops who got fired upon chasing after some psions and then became inter-galactic spion hunters... man who would ever believe a story like that?

In another room was  Miri, resting on a bed plugged into the wall to recharge overnight. Across from her was  human none of you recognize-. It's April 29, 2437 as far as your implants tell you... And its a saturday. None of you have classes-
Miri: _yawns. She doesn't need to but old habits are hard to break._
Runi: After a few moments- The door to Lily, Keith, and Cyril's room opens- Runi's there weight pajama nightwear and feathers even more disheveled than before.... was there a before? just a dream right?- she slammed open the door, looked inside for just a moment.
Runi: the stepped out,
Cyril: _wakes up SCREAMING, trying to slap a button on his shoulder that isn't there. Wait. Uh. Huh?_
Runi: The other door slammed open- to Miri's room
Miri: "What? What."
Runi: and slammed open the other door- glancing at her
Lazuli: "Ugh...Five more minutes.."
Runi: Miri- you recognize her- She's not a roomate- she's actually a dorm-mother- she takes care of the place as your sort of land lord and makes sure you go to classes and stuff.
Keith: _Keith stretches and yawns, a bit surprised at first that he didn't wake up before the time, but then remembers that yesterday he kinda stayed up late._
Miri: "Ughhhh...c'mon, *Roonieeeee*, I don't even have any classes today..."
Runi: "... M... Morning, Miri." she said, a strange look in her eyes.
Runi: "You're okay, right...?" she stepped back out again- feeling uncomfortable around Lazuli- a pink haired human A bit erratic for her...
Miri: _looks at Runi. "What's wrong?" she says, unplugging herself._
Runi: Now back with Cyril and the the SM-2ers., she looked around, checking the beds- to see if Lily was where she thought she was.- in bed.
Keith: _Keith is waking up_
Keith: (As described)
Cyril: _has finished screaming._
Runi: "Cyril- you can shutup, scream internally like me, please."
Cyril: _closes his mouth. Muffled scream._
Runi: "better."
Keith: "Yeah, like Aunty Runi, please."
Keith: _Keith then has a puzzled look on his face_
Lily: _is understandably confused_
Lily: _does what she does when she's confused... asks her brainputer wtf is going on_
Runi: You have two sets of memories. there's no other way to explain this sensation. Both feel equally valid
Runi: But only one of them is on your implants
Lily: _asks the implants how old she is compared to her other memories :B_
Miri: _rubs her temples. She remembers details - nearly getting killed, the kindly face of the Chierun cyberneticist who rebuilt her...but there are wide swaths that are so starkly different._
Lily: _also checks her body? like is her space suit and shit still there? her stealth exo?_
Runi: all of your military equipment and such is gone- or everything really
Lily: what about
Lily: skills
Lily: are we losing points :B~
Runi: You... don't know?
Lily: _tries to remember how to pilot a ship :B_
Runi: You think you remember how to do everything you did in your dreams
Cyril: "Damn. Anyone else feeling kinda funny?"
Runi: but then again maybe that was just dream logic on high
Runi: YOu'll need to find a ship to try.
Runi: Keith: also in your dreams you were a post-human or something
Keith: "I..." Keith says, rubbing his forehead "I had the longest dream... Runi, if you can call them that..."
Runi: which is sure weird because you were never a human.
Keith: (Oooh)
Keith: (I regret not getting a pouch before this)
Keith: (Wait.)
Keith: ( <@!Runi> , Can I?)
Runi: "one second-"
Lily: _tries to remember how to tie a specific knot... and then remembers she knew how to tie that knot when she was younger than this :B~_
Keith: ( I have spare points )
Cyril: (I regret Cyril not having a pouch)
Runi: (sure )
Runi: she leaves- goes to Miri's room
Keith: (YEEESSSSHHH)
Lily: (lets all get pouches)
Runi: Grabs her by the arm.
Runi: "Come on-" she whisphers.
Lily: _has a storage area. Rectum :3_
Cyril: (Oh my god.)
Runi: lewd.
Runi: and tries to drag her out of bed.
Runi: Over to the room with the 3 others.
Lily: honestly lily's species probably could have cheek pouches
Runi: (if you wanna get a pouch cyril, now's the time. it's an AU)
Lily: "So uh. Am I the only one who had a weird dream? Did we just Lion Witch and Wardrobe?"
Lily: (omfg we're going to have to fight ommy in athletics and shit now like some school anime)
Runi: Runi just arrived back in the room with the others.
Cyril: (Beds have dream-controlling computers most of the time, right?)
Lily: _dons her kamui_
Runi: (yep!)
Lily: _doesn't lose her way_
Runi: she closed the door, locked it, and crossed her feathered arms
Runi: "Just like My Martian Cartoons, we just got fucked."
Miri: _goes with Runi._
Keith: "Th- Wha-?"
Lily: "I'd remember being fucked... oh."
Runi: "Am I the insane one here?"
Keith: _looks at Lily as she says that_
Cyril: _stands up in the bed. "You remember stuff too?"_
Keith: "Runi. I... Don't think you are insane..."
Lily: "No no, I think we all are in agreement, some weird shit just happened."
Runi: "okay good- don't need more affirmation."
Keith: "Well. I've had. A dream that... Too long to be a dream. And it isn't even in my inplant."
Runi: _'s feather pattern DOES look a bit different, now that she isn't running all over the place._
Cyril: _pulls the neck of his shirt out, tucks his head down to look inside it. Kind of glad he wasn't turned to chunky salsa by those bombs, at least._
Lazuli: _drags himself out of bed and groggily looks around, "...I wonder what they're serving in the mess hall."_
Keith: "Also I have a pouch- Or rather... Always had- Wh- What the hell is going on with me..."
Runi: "Okay, kids, new plan."
Miri: _remembers...things. The childhood friend whom her parents had beaten half to death. How his grandfather was, through some strange circumstance, the one her mother had handpicked to give her a new life..._
Lily: "So I'm gonna say we're trapped in a psion mindscape thingy right now?"
Runi: "Looks like we've been had already, so we don't have to hide anymore."
Runi: "yea."
Lily: "So... lets get out."
Miri: _...and how he'd impressed on her how he'd thought of revenge, but the boy had thought too highly of her._
Miri: But now another memory stands more vividly.
Runi: "Go over your memories- think on them hard."
Runi: "Get them in your implants- they might vanish."
Keith: "oh shit!"
Lily: "ah shit, you're right."
Lazuli: Lazuli knocks on the door, "Y'all do what you want, I'm going to get some brekky." He spoke walking down the hall, he yawns and continues to walk away.
Keith: _Keith tries to shove as much memories he can on the implants._
Lily: _takes the time to do the thing."_
Miri: _shakes her head. "My...my parents' thugs...they were going to hurt Khlass," she mutters. "I got in their way. They...didn't seem to realize who I was..."_
Runi: _opens the door_
Runi: _grabs Lazuli as he was walking away._
Runi: "Hey, does the name "Ommy" mean anything to you?"
Miri: _smiles a rictus. "That's...that was just a bad dream," she says, staring into space. "How do you know that...name...?"_
Runi: "no, you're not in trouble."
Runi: _reaffirms_
Lazuli: "H-Hey...wha? Ommy? Well...I don't know I drew up a story about this girl named Omnia who was evil and shit. I made a lil comic book thingy."
Runi: "Enjoy breakfast, kiddo." she waves him off.
Miri: "Wh...what are you even talking about," Miri says, her memories at war with each other.
Keith: _Keith approaches to Miri "Hey. Miri. Shove as much of this 'dream' in your implant" he whispers "It is too long to be a dream, you realize, right? Also your implants should have recorded your dreams."_
Runi: _heads off back to the room. witht he others_
Lazuli: "Yes ma'am." He sighs and goes ahead to the mess hall.
Miri: *"It was just a bad dream it was just a bad dream how do you even know..."*
Runi: "Because we all had the same one."
Runi: "I mean, if you wanna just forget all about it, that's fine too."
Cyril: _"writes" everything down in memory. Home-planet being destroyed, years living on a ship, many many cases of accidentally breaking that ship. Then the thing with his parents. Then, going into psychology, trying to find out what made criminals like that tick. And... Being a psion-hunter? That one was mostly for money or something. What a weird life._
Runi: "I thought about it, myself. This isn't a bad setup for me, but its just not the right one."
Runi: "We all shared a dream- except Lazuli- He wasn't one of us."
Keith: _Keith continues to write down a lifetime of mistakes in his implant... God. What a mess._
Keith: "Hey, Miri, do you remember when we played that game where we had to make up weird stories?"
Cyril: _patpats Keith. Looks like this might've wrecked their... Plans._
Keith: _Keith patpats Cyril back, not fully sure why... Not that doesn't have the memory, just that he isn't connecting the dots._
Runi: "Real questions- How'd you fucks get here?"
Runi: "I'm 40 now, my kids just got out of space college."
Runi: "I never went to become a star fighter pilor, and I never almost became a spaceknight."
Runi: "So there's that out of my sad little life."
Keith: "I am 20... And I am focusing on all the fuckups of my *other* life, so I don't know if I can remember correctly this life right now..."
Keith: "But I am sure..."
Keith: "Way less fuckups."
Keith: "Dramatically."
Runi: "This is also, definitely not our world."
Runi: _sent you all an image over implants-_
Runi: It's a political map of the galaxy circa 2430
Cyril: "I... Guess the planet never exploded. I tried to get into space engineering programs, guess I didn't make it, stayed at home for a long time and ended up here."
Runi: There's no galactic council. It's all fractured in different ways than before
Runi: "hey keith you'll get a kick out of this one,"
Runi: "It aint martian Cartoons here."
Keith: "Nooo... What?"
Runi: "Earth is still around."
Keith: "WHAAAAAT?!"
Cyril: "Woah, that planet also didn't explode? That's... Good, I guess."
Runi: "It's Earthite cartoons."
Keith: "THATS AMAZING!"
Runi: "which I think, is WAY lamer a name."
Runi: "But nothing to blow a planet over."
Keith: "HOW DID YOU KNOW I WAS-"
Runi: "You weren't. Not here."
Keith: "Uh... I know."
Keith: "In... The other one."
Runi: _paused "..."_
Runi: "avalon's gone. tho."
Keith: "Wait- Oh, oh no..."
Runi: "Glassed hellscape." she's digging through 'memory lane'
Runi: "What're you studying, here, anyway?" <feel free to arbitrarily decide>
Lazuli: There is the sound of loud stomping as Lazuli runs into his room and grabs his phone and then runs out again, muttering something under his breath, "Jesus christ I can't believe I left this out in the open."
Keith: _Keith looks a bit coy._
Keith: "Uh- uh... Stuff..."
Runi: "Bioengineering, Isn't it?"
Runi: "You wanna make weapons, kiddo?"
Runi: she's teasing
Keith: _Keith is visibly sweating_
Keith: "N-no! Aunty!"
Cyril: _looks a bit disappointed. "Engineering. Not even the space kind."_
Keith: "B-but... yes... I mean"
Keith: "Bioengineering."
Runi: speaking of bioengineering
Runi: Vaemore.
Runi: Vaemore didnt' vanish in the early 2200s
Keith: (He... Never happend?)
Keith: (R-right?)
Miri: (ohhhh noooooo we're in HydraWorld)
Miri: (stop the ride I wanna get off)
Cyril: (HydraWorld?)
Cyril: (*eyes Keith*)
Runi: No, he happened. He just didn't do anything *terribly* wrong.
Lily: I honestly have no clue what lily would be studying
Lily: help
Runi: music
Cyril: (WRESTLING SCHOLARSHIP)
Runi: dance
Miri: (the latest Agents of SHIELD arc, where they end up in a VR simulated world where HYDRA, aka Marvel!Nazis, are in charge)
Runi: communications
Cyril: (Wait that's not a study)
Keith: (Well. I'll strike as Vaemore not *"happening"*)
Cyril: (Could be an electrician :B )
Cyril: (Trade school or something)
Runi: he did some weird things with genetic engineering but never set to the whole 'killing all inferior life' thing
Lily: she probably has learned more about electrical engineering and repair from her home planet's kindergarten classes
Cyril: (lol yeah)
Runi: weapons are still sigmatized, but only for the more obvious reasons
Runi: IE: people being a walking gun
Lily: hell she probably learned MATH by learning currents and shit
Runi: because they're a *fucking walking gun*
Keith: "Wait a second... Vaemore... Never happened..." Keith muses, thinking out loud.
Keith: "Er..."
Runi: He also wasn't as talented.
Runi: Biotech isn't as good as before.
Lily: "I uh... does any of this matter? Lets just find a way to escape back to the real world, put a hurt on ommy, and get our spaceship
Runi: "No, you're right."
Runi: "But... i have zero idea how to escape alternate worlds."
Runi: "Can't say I've ever done that before."
Lily: "Like fuck, he could be eating our souls right now while we're unconcious in a shared dreamscape"
Cyril: "Better find a psion."
Lily: "complete alternate reality seems less likely, than we're being mindfucked"
Cyril: "Damn, too bad I wasn't here to study spacetime metrics, huh?"
Cyril: (IS IT TOO LATE TO CHANGE MAJORS)
Keith: "But, what if we *are* in an alternate reality?"
Lily: I mean look at Keith, he's actually... what, his own species?
Runi: _pauses... and slowly reaches to her sword_
Runi: or rather, where it would be
Lily: probably because ommy didn't know that keith wasn't an alien but a human
Lily: highly modified
Runi: _puts it back_
Runi: "Nah, I don't think that'd work."
Lazuli: (You really think ommy has the brain compacity to make up this world this detailed.)
Cyril: (*handwave* psions)
Lily: psion
Runi: but yes,- Keith's species is its own thing
Lily: plus like
Runi: that's been around for a while
Lily: if it's a shared dream
Runi: Not quite as weapony as his dream species though
Lily: we uh
Runi: the one he never got to making
Keith: Oh, hey, thanks
Lily: we all are providing our own details with our own brainpowers
Lily: filling in the gaps
Keith: By the way, I hadn't settled on the traits for them yet
Lily: that's how a dream works 😛
Keith: OOC CHAT BEGONE
Cyril: _stares at his hands really hard. Always has weird fingers in dreams._
Runi: "I'm no psion."
Runi: "I can't snap out of psion dreams."
Keith: "Is there a way we can find out if this is real or not?"
Runi: psions are however,
Lily: "Well I don't know, how about we just destroy it?"
Runi: more common in this world,
Lily: "like if we die in the dream we wake up right?"
Runi: "no. let's not suicide pact."
Lily: "Or is it, if you die in the game you die for real"
Cyril: (Pff I was about to search the webnet for psion info, to see if they were like that)
Runi: "you die in the game."
Keith: "UH. LET'S NOT DIE. PERIOD."
Lily: "I don't want to try dying... yet."
Lily: "but like
Lily: "what if we destroy this whole building?"
Cyril: _looks back up. He's okay with not dying, despite how close he was in Universe A._
Runi: "Please no terrorism."
Runi: "it's against school rules, you know."
Keith: "What if we are actually in an alternate reality? Does not all those lifes matter?"
Lily: "it's less terrorism than wanton destruction, but if this school is the dream world we are contained in, destroying that should like... pop it right?"
Cyril: "We could try... Going outside?"
Runi: the school's a lot bigger than a single building
Runi: welcome to space college. It's a 10x10 mile space station.
Cyril: "Oh. So not outside."
Lily: "I could... presumably still destroy it.."
Runi: Univiversity of Aldebaron.
Cyril: <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aldebaran>
Keith: "Lily, I would very much like if you didn't try that."
Lily: "Like, I'll dress up as a repair guy, and I'll just fuck with some of the wires, I know a little about that, even in this dream"
Cyril: "If this is some kind of dream... Maybe if we poke around enough, we can find things that don't match up and pull at the threads. That should make a mess."
Keith: "I like Cyril's idea better. *much better*."
Runi: _sighs, and leans back against the wall, looking up at the ceiling_
Runi: "What do you kids want for breakfast?"
Runi: _is birb mom_
Lily: "Look... I don't think you're understanding the gravity of the situation. we could be dying, right now. As we speak."
Keith: "I'll have the same as always, the mystery sandwich."
Keith: "Lily. If we are dying, I think we are already dead."
Runi: "I... I can't condone you killing a ton of people. even if they're fake people."
Keith: "I can't understand why you assume they are fake people, Lily. I mean, for God's sake! We were cops! Please!"
Keith: "Well, most of us were."
Keith: "Uh..."
Keith: "In another... Universe?"
Lily: "ok ok, how about this, let's see if we can even escape the station. If we can't, we know we're being held in here for a reason, right? It's like... you know the truman show?"
Runi: "... I think I can get us tickets off for a day or two."
Runi: "be back by monday."
Keith: "Can we go to a paradise planet?"
Miri: _is low-key having a meltdown. She can't decide whether she's going crazy or all her friends have._
Keith: "I've been itching for some vacations..."
Runi: "... my life savings are still only 10k"
Lily: "if we can leave the station, like really travel, maybe even split up, I'll be willing to accept maybe this isn't a dream but like some weird reality thing."
Runi: "Fuck."
Runi: "We break the resolution."
Keith: "Uh... How much money is needed for the tickets?"
Runi: "Tonight, we all go opposite directions, go to a planet, and check the microbes. Everyone except Keith."
Cyril: (DO I STILL HAVE THE 2.5MIL FROM THE LOAN)
Runi: "because he knows what microbes look like."
Lily: "Lets... lets go to a convenience store, if I'm gonna be in a dream and I'm a teenager again.... There's some items I want to pick up."
Runi: "So we can make sure we're not filling in the data ourselves."
Cyril: _tries his best to keep himself from googling microbes >:I_
Runi: _still looks like a teen herself, actually._
Lily: you can't google anything
Keith: "So... What do I do?"
Cyril: (But earth is still alive :D )
Lily: it's spacegoogle you fool, you complete imbecile >:3
Lily: 😛
Runi: "you... "
Cyril: (dammit i got rekt)
Runi: "I don't know what you do. You'll be here for us to compare photos to."
Lily: "You try not to get attached to these dream people"
Keith: "Aw maan-" Keith says as he slides his hands into his pouch "*Oh damn, this actually is pretty nice...*"
Lily: "also... maybe... look for a certain vai?"
Runi: "Who?"
Keith: "Oh."
Keith: "Dom."
Cyril: "Dom..."
Lily: "I mean. It's worth a try right?"
Runi: As you all say the name
Runi: you realize you know dom
Runi: or rather, you've seen him
Runi: he's a hooligan that hangs out around here.
Runi: Him and Exal and... Lotus.
Keith: "Oh... LOTUS!"
Cyril: "...Dammit"
Cyril: "Keith, you should go question them, see if they... Remember anything."
Runi: "Go do that."
Keith: "Wait, she was sleeping when the thing happened! She could not have been mind-controlled-"
Keith: "Is that..."
Keith: "How it works?"
Runi: _heads to the kitchen, to make everyone sandwhitches._
Runi: https://fanburst.com/bmonty101gmailcom/to-be-continued-song-free-download-audio
Keith: "Uh! Ah, see you later!" Keith says, waving to Runi
Lily: I've decided Lily's thing is athletics, she's a total jock, and she's also part of the student council. Ambitions and all :B
Runi: !end
