Demon Hunters (Season 2): Game 12
DreaMwrite1:
Still no Tie
Jun Nekkara: He's signed on. So he just isn't
responding then?
DreaMwrite1: yep
Tie Di Chiang has entered the room.
DreaMwrite1: right on time
Tie Di Chiang: :-)
Jun Nekkara: Maybe he was just waiting for me since
I'm so special :-D
Tie Di Chiang: (afk for now, making dinner)
DreaMwrite1: As we last left our heroes they were in
the shao-lin temple that Tie Di Chiang had been raised in, seemingly in the
past...
DreaMwrite1: They had all decided upon finding Tie's
master who they had been attacked by a while back and had recently saw in Jun's
own past.
Jun Nekkara: ((Seemingly? You mean meeting Tie as a
child wasn't proof enough?))
DreaMwrite1: After finding that his teacher from days
long gone was in another room meditating he got up and walked off without a
word...
DreaMwrite1: ((Hey I just dont want to give a
straight answer ;-) ))
DreaMwrite1: Jun and Ninazu are at the dinner table
talking when Tie gets up and walks off.
DreaMwrite1: ((We can pause here until Tie gets
back))
Tie Di Chiang: (okay, I'm back but I must pause to
type between bites, so go ahead :-) )
Jun Nekkara: *looks at Tie* "Try to remember what I
said. Before careful on how you procede. Our enemies will most likely show soon.
It would be unwise for you to be caught alone. Try not to wander too far off"
Tie Di Chiang: (hmm, I don't remember why I got
up...)
Tie Di Chiang: (oh, right, the headmaster...)
DreaMwrite1: ((lol))
Jun Nekkara: ((Hmm...next time I type in advance like
that, perhaps I should check it for typos))
DreaMwrite1: ((ok unpause))
DreaMwrite1: ((The game has started...))
Tie Di Chiang: (I'll attempt to gain an audience with
the master)
Tie Di Chiang: (by asking one of the other monks)
DreaMwrite1: ((How would you go about doing that?
DreaMwrite1: Tie you get up and walk up to one of the
monks who greeted you into the temple.
Tie Di Chiang: (well, I'd ask one of them if the
master is avaiulable right now, and if not that he could be notified that some
people wish to speak with him)
DreaMwrite1: ((heh why arent you saying all this in
character?))
Jun Nekkara: *stands from the table and looks to
Ninazu* "While he attends to the matters of his past, I will try to find someone
who may be able to answer my questions. I will most likely need to find someone
other than his master"
Jun Nekkara: "They seem unwilling to let outsiders
see him"
DreaMwrite1: "Uh ok." says Ninazu as he eats another
serving of soup. "You do that I'll wait here."
DreaMwrite1: ((Dont ya love how vague I am with the
food you guys eat?))
Jun Nekkara: *still to Ninazu* "Try to stay alert. If
one of us gets into trouble, we may need your help" *leaves the table and
approaches one of the monks*
DreaMwrite1: "Yes?" says the monk you walk up to. "Do
you need some help young preist?"
Tie Di Chiang: (yes... enjoy the spicy juntlepon
mwahahahahahaha!)
DreaMwrite1: "You sure do seem far away from your
homeland."
DreaMwrite1: "Why do you want to talk with the
master, brother?" says the monk to Tie.
Jun Nekkara: "Yes, quite far indeed. However, I too
am on a journey of knowledge. Since it seems that it is unwanted for me to speak
with the young lad's master (referring to the young Tie), I was wondering...
Jun Nekkara: if perhaps there was someone less busy
that I may speak with"
DreaMwrite1: "Speak with about what?"
Tie Di Chiang: "I have been away from the temple for
a very long time, and merely wished to see my old teacher... If he is not
available now I shall wait until a better time"
Jun Nekkara: "Yes, it is hard for me to put into
words at the moment. Though I seek more knowledge of what you do here. I am not
fully fluent with your ways and I wish to understand more"
DreaMwrite1: "Your old teacher?" says the monk to Tie
skepticly. "He has only taught three students in his life time and his recent
pupil is Tie Di Chiang.
DreaMwrite1: "I do not reconize you as either of his
old students."
DreaMwrite1: "We of the Shao-lin temple are peaceful
monks who seek enlightenment from within." says the monk to Jun. "And we are
also known for our powerful martial art techniques we learn on this journey
which we use...
DreaMwrite1: "To help those in need."
Tie Di Chiang: "Oh? Dear me... Old Po is still the
master here is he not? Or has he passed on to the next life..."
Jun Nekkara: ((Not going to say anything about the
Kung Fu reference))
Tie Di Chiang: (mmm, that's some good b.s. :-D )
DreaMwrite1: ((Ok thanks Jun ;-) ))
Tie Di Chiang: (well 'tis just a bluf :-P )
DreaMwrite1: ((Yep I'm great with b.s.))
DreaMwrite1: "What are you talking about, brother?"
says the monk a little confused. "You don't appear to be either of his other
pupils and young Tie is right over there, doubt you could try and pass off as
him."
DreaMwrite1: ((Also Jun it does appear to be in my
world the Shao-lin monks are also super powered defenders of the helpless.))
DreaMwrite1: ((1 of them at least))
Jun Nekkara: *sighs* "You shall indeed make this most
difficult. I have questions in regards to the matters you have just mentioned.
However, I seek someone with a more worldly understanding"
Jun Nekkara: "Preferrably someone who has travelled
outside these temple walls"
Tie Di Chiang: "dear me... my memory must have become
addled from my journey... I should have finished my meal..."
DreaMwrite1: "I'm sorry to say, but we have no one
here at the moment who has this 'worldly' knowledge as you so call it." says the
monk to Jun. "We try to keep to ourselves whenever possable."
DreaMwrite1: The monk gives Tie another skeptical
look. "Ok..."
Tie Di Chiang: (that crafty devil changed his name I
bet...)
DreaMwrite1: ((lol...))
Jun Nekkara: "So everyone here has been born and died
here? I was led to believe that the climb up the mountain to arrive here was to
help with enlightenment. I find it odd none of you have ever climbed up or down
it"
DreaMwrite1: "You are searching for some information,
why are you holding it back?" says the monk to Jun.
Tie Di Chiang: (well no one's born here of course,
ther are no women admitted :-P )
DreaMwrite1: "Oh we do climb up the mountain that
doesn't exactly mean that we just casually leave whenever."
Tie Di Chiang: (doesn't make them all that well
travelled of course either)
DreaMwrite1: ((except for Tie but he seems to be a
special case.))
Tie Di Chiang: (and the ones that were possessed)
DreaMwrite1: ((Yes and the posessed ones))
Jun Nekkara: "I will not hold back what I wish to
know...if you know that someone will have the answers I seek"
DreaMwrite1: "What is your question so that I may
give someone who may answer?"
Jun Nekkara: *lowers head and pauses, trying to
figure out just the right way to word this next part*
DreaMwrite1: "Perhaps I was wrong...maybe you are one
of his students..." says the monk to Tie. "It has been so long since I have seen
them I have forgotten what you and your fellow student have looked like..."
DreaMwrite1: ((You want to find a way to stop an evil
demon from taking over the world?))
Jun Nekkara: "You have mentioned that you use your
abilities to protect people in need. I too try to do what I can. However, there
are times that I find I cannot do it with my current knowledge"
DreaMwrite1: "I shall tell the master that you have
company."
Jun Nekkara: "I am hoping that perhaps someone could
help shar some with me"
DreaMwrite1: "That he has company."
Tie Di Chiang: brb
DreaMwrite1: The monk looks perplexed. "Share some of
what?"
DreaMwrite1: ((nm that
Jun Nekkara: ((Really dislikes the character limit in
these chats))
DreaMwrite1: "I am sorry, but you must be a shao-lin
monk to know our techniques. It is an important law which we follow not to give
them to outsiders."
DreaMwrite1: "Sadly you are too old to become one.
You would have made a good monk, I can feel it."
DreaMwrite1: ((Ya I hate it too.))
DreaMwrite1: ((Starting to think that we should use
IRC chat instead.))
Jun Nekkara: "I did not say I wish to know a
technique per say. Just some information. What I wish to know..." *takes a deep
breath and looks the monk in the eyes* "...involves a demon"
Jun Nekkara: ((IRC chat? Not exactly sure what that
is. Forgive my ignoracnce))
DreaMwrite1: "A demon? Our libraries have much on
demons if that is what you are in search for."
DreaMwrite1: ((I'll explain after game but it is a
possable alternative))
Jun Nekkara: "That may indeed help. If you would be
so kind as to show me where it is located" *pauses for a second* "And one more
question. Do you know of any monks with a technique to bind a demon's powers?"
DreaMwrite1: "Binding a demons powers? I am sorry but
techniques such as that are even beyond the Shao-lin."
Jun Nekkara: *sighs* "I was afraid of that. I know of
a half-demon that may have been appreciative of such a technique"
DreaMwrite1: The monk is silent for a moment. "Hmm
come to think of it the great teacher of this temple may have such an ability.
Though I'm sorry to say he does not speak with many."
Jun Nekkara: *bows* "Then, if you would be so kind, I
beg that you ask him. I am in great need of an audience with him if he does
indeed have such knowledge"
Tie Di Chiang: (okay, back at last)
DreaMwrite1: ((Glad to hear it Tie.))
Tie Di Chiang: (whew, that Thai food does a number on
you...)
DreaMwrite1: "I am sorry, but only a chosen few are
allowed to even speak to him."
Tie Di Chiang: (on the plus side I can weld metals
with my ass now)
DreaMwrite1: "Come this way if you wish to speak with
the master now." says the monk to Tie.
DreaMwrite1: ((Heh too much information there. =-O ))
Tie Di Chiang: "thank you brother"
Tie Di Chiang: *follows*
Jun Nekkara: "I understand. Then I suppose the
library will have to suffice for now. If you would be so kind to guide me.
Simple directions will do if you are busy"
DreaMwrite1: The monk leads Tie down many halls
toward his old teacher's meditation chamber.
Tie Di Chiang: (to the room of a the guy I don't
remember but has wreaked havoc in the lives of my friends as well...)
DreaMwrite1: "It will be no trouble just follow me."
says the monk to Jun leading him as well down many cooradoors.
Jun Nekkara: *follows*
Tie Di Chiang: (corridors)
DreaMwrite1: ((thanks Tie I knew that was wrong))
Tie Di Chiang: (sheesh how can you screw corridors
up...)
DreaMwrite1: ((ouch that hurts :'())
Tie Di Chiang: :-D
Tie Di Chiang: (perhaps you were thinking of Coors
and doors at the same time...)
DreaMwrite1: Tie as you walk down the halls a young
man (about 16) runs quickly past you.
DreaMwrite1: "We are almost there." says the preist
as you continue down the corridors.
DreaMwrite1: Jun you get to the library in a few
minutes of walking.
DreaMwrite1: Book covered the walls on all sides.
DreaMwrite1: A rather large room with some tables.
Some older men are sitting down reading, not even noticing your arrival.
DreaMwrite1: "I shall leave you to read, just be kind
to the books please some are very old." says the monk to Jun.
Jun Nekkara: *looks around the library* "Thank you
for your guidance. Though I was wondering if you could help me find information
on a particular problem. The demon I fought is quite cunning and very
powerful..."
DreaMwrite1: "What is his name?" says the monk.
Jun Nekkara: "Though he was once defeated, he
returned from death. I am familiar with the idea, but was wondering if there was
a way to prevent it?"
DreaMwrite1: "We are here." says the monk to Tie as
you both walk up to a closed wooden door.
DreaMwrite1: "Hmm he must be of the highest of demons
to be able to come back from death such as that."
DreaMwrite1: "Your only hope would be to find a way
to seal him or trap him in some way. The most powerful of demons cannot die by
my knowledge at least."
DreaMwrite1: The monk swings open the door showing an
old monk sitting on the ground on top of a pillow, facing the window. His back
is turned to you and the monk.
Jun Nekkara: *closes eyes* "Sealing him" *a slight
smirk comes across his face, but quickly vanishes* "I am confident there is a
way to kill him. Though I lack that current knowledge"
DreaMwrite1: Tie you stand there and look at him. You
are positive he is your master from long ago and the same man you had battled
with recently.
Jun Nekkara: "Finding a way to trap him will have to
do. I would be appreciative of any help you could provide"
DreaMwrite1: "Beyond this you would know as much as I
do. I spend very little time in the libary studying about demons to be of much
use."
Jun Nekkara: ((*is having flashes of Dragon Ball and
the Evil Containment Wave*))
DreaMwrite1: ((Heh ;-)))
Jun Nekkara: "Then I thank you. I will get to work if
I am to find the information I seek in time"
DreaMwrite1: "Ok I will leave you to your studies
then."
DreaMwrite1: The monk walks out of the libaray.
Jun Nekkara: *starts to look at the books and comes
to a sad realization. Despite the fact the knowledge may be in front of him...he
can't read chinese*
Jun Nekkara: ((:-[))
DreaMwrite1: ((Yep too bad Tie isnt there))
Tie Di Chiang: (maybe you'll be lucky and some of it
will be in Hiragana :-D )
DreaMwrite1: Tie you continue to stand there staring
at your master.
Jun Nekkara: *looking at books he says softly to
himself* "This may be more difficult than I had originally thought. I may need
help" *looks around at the elderly men that were there when I arrived*
Jun Nekkara: ((Unless by some chance I actually come
across a book that is in a readable language to me -- but that is doubtful))
DreaMwrite1: The elderly men there appear to be deep
in study as they jot down information onto their parchments as they continue
reading the books.
DreaMwrite1: They are all at seperate tables.
Tie Di Chiang: "pardon me master, but I have need of
knowledge that I trust you might impart"
DreaMwrite1: The old man gets up very slowly and
turns around.
DreaMwrite1: He raises an eyebrow when he notices
Tie. "Leave my son, thank you for bringing him."
Jun Nekkara: *looks at them and debates whether it
would be right to interfer with any of their studies for his own needs. As he
thoughts flow, he decides that defeating Akuma is more important than disturbing
a few men*
DreaMwrite1: The monk bows and leave the room.
Tie Di Chiang: (they'll still probably be here doing
this 20 years from now :-P )
Jun Nekkara: *walks over to one of the men and kneels
before him. In a soft and gentle tone* "I am not from this area and humbly
request some help. I am in desperate need of some knowledge to help protect
others"
DreaMwrite1: "Hello, Tie Di Chaing." says the monk
simply to Tie.
Tie Di Chiang: "You recognize me? I find that
interesting, as until very recently I did not recognize you"
DreaMwrite1: "What is it boy? I am very busy." says
the old man still reading the book as he talks to you.
Tie Di Chiang: "it is an interesting puzzle, this
life we lead... men, women, children, eking out an existence, trying to survive
and enjoy life..."
Tie Di Chiang: "and demons who prey on them"
Tie Di Chiang: "it makes one wonder why anyone should
ever bother to live at all"
Jun Nekkara: *in the same tone* "I am in pursuit of a
powerful demon who does not seem to die. He is defeated, but always returns. I
was informed that there may be knowledge on how to trap him contained within
these walls"
DreaMwrite1: "If you come from the future then I
assume you have come to stop me. Sadly my preparations are already completed."
says Tie's master simply. "I will take my leave."
Jun Nekkara: "But alas, I am not from these land and
cannot read your language"
Tie Di Chiang: "but stranger still to me, is why
those of us who trained and vowed to protect humanity from evil would suddenly
decide to aid the demons in their wicked cause"
DreaMwrite1: "People live to be controled by powers
such as ourselves, this is the one law that has always been true Tie."
Aira Ono has left the room.
Tie Di Chiang: "Is it? Such is the law of brutes and
apes, not of men, and certainly not of monks"
DreaMwrite1: "I am not suprised someone such as
yourself does not understand it now even as an adult though." says the monk
calmly to Tie. "You are strong I'll give you that, but so weak in the mind."
Tie Di Chiang: ("nuh-uh, I have a Mind stat of 6 I do
I do" :-D )
DreaMwrite1: "You have it all wrong, Tie. They are
the brutes and apes, I am mearly here to heard them like sheep."
Jun Nekkara: ((Same as mine Tie))
DreaMwrite1: ((lol ya but your a good guy so that
makes you dumb so there :-P))
Jun Nekkara: (("So you see, evil will always win
because good is stupid" -or something very close to that))
DreaMwrite1: "With the help of these demons I shall
gain even more power than before, no one shall stand in my way."
Tie Di Chiang: "I see"
DreaMwrite1: ((yep))
Tie Di Chiang: "what did you do to the wolf-child?"
DreaMwrite1: "He is a potential barrier to my goal to
power so I shall seal his abilities, pacify him into a gentle lamb."
Tie Di Chiang: "and why did you attack him, he was no
threat to anyone"
Tie Di Chiang: "Ha! I daresay you made him a threat
that day, one who shall bring your master to his knees one day"
DreaMwrite1: "Somehow I doubt that young monk."
Tie Di Chiang: "I have seen that day come to pass"
DreaMwrite1: "It sounds like that errand boy finally
told someone. I must be off Tie."
DreaMwrite1: Tie you hear footsteps in the distance.
DreaMwrite1: "Step asside, Tie."
Tie Di Chiang: "I must know one more thing..."
DreaMwrite1: "So many questions from such a simple
person."
Tie Di Chiang: "Do you really believe Akuma will
provide you with the power you desire?"
DreaMwrite1: The monk grins.
DreaMwrite1: "Not Akuma."
DreaMwrite1: Two monks bust the door down which slams
to the ground.
DreaMwrite1: You hear a voice say from behind them.
"I am sorry master, but we must take you to a more secure area, please come easy
we do not wish to harm you."
Tie Di Chiang: "so much noise my brothers, have you
forgotten your training in the arts of silence?"
DreaMwrite1: "There is no time brother, quickly
disable him!"
DreaMwrite1: "Sigh it is time I must leave." says
Tie's master simply.
DreaMwrite1: The two monks jump at him but he
disapears...
DreaMwrite1: Reapearing behind them and then pushes
the monk at the doorway aside and runs down the halls.
Tie Di Chiang: "a moment too late..."
Tie Di Chiang: "move aside!" *attempts to pursu down
the hall*
DreaMwrite1: Tie you chase after your former master,
but find it is too difficult to keep up with his speed.
DreaMwrite1: He quickly outdistances you and jumps
out a window.
Tie Di Chiang: *leaps to the window to see where he
went*
DreaMwrite1: Tie you look out the window to see it is
a fall straight down a steep side of the mountain.
DreaMwrite1: You hear one of the monks from behind
you say. "He has escaped..."
DreaMwrite1: "Let me explain the situation."
Tie Di Chiang: *steps back and turns to the other
monks* "what caused you to come to his room?"
DreaMwrite1: ((brb))
Tie Di Chiang: (I guess Aira got bored...)
Jun Nekkara: ((I think Aira just left because she
wasn't going to be doing much this game))
Tie Di Chiang: (yeah, bored :-P )
Jun Nekkara: ((oops....thought you said booted *bonks
self on the head*))
Tie Di Chiang: ( :-D )
Tie Di Chiang: ("curse you Tong She I'll get you
yet!")
Jun Nekkara: ((Um...I don't know that one))
Tie Di Chiang: (The old monk's name)
Tie Di Chiang: (the one what just got away)
Jun Nekkara: ((You mean it wasn't Master Po?))
Jun Nekkara: ((I wasn't serious with that last one.
I've been forgetting how my sarcastic ways don't carry over nearly as well
online))
Tie Di Chiang: (No, that was just me trying to b.s.
the other monk into thinking I was a student of another master who was dead to
cover for my not being recognizable)
Tie Di Chiang: (didn't work...)
Tie Di Chiang: (that's what emoticons are for ;-) )
Jun Nekkara: ((Ya, I know. I've just been forgetting
as of late))
DreaMwrite1: ((back))
Tie Di Chiang: (front)
Jun Nekkara: ((And then I have convesations like
this))
Jun Nekkara: ((Sorry...left))
DreaMwrite1: "Sadly when my pupil came to me with
that expression on his face my suspicions have proved correct."
Tie Di Chiang: "the boy that ran out of the room just
before I arrived?"
DreaMwrite1: "Tong She had been in the library,
studying the most ancient of tomes for some time now."
DreaMwrite1: "Yes I'd assume it would be that boy."
DreaMwrite1: "The boy spotted him with a demon. A
demon who goes by the name of Akuma."
DreaMwrite1: "I fear he is going to try and summon a
powerful demon. A god among demons."
Tie Di Chiang: "I know Akuma all too well..."
DreaMwrite1: "The boy had only heard bits and pieces
of the conversation, but it wasn't hard to fill in the blanks after reading the
tomes he had been studying."
DreaMwrite1: "Then you know how dangerous Akuma is."
DreaMwrite1: "And the demon that Akuma and Tong She
can release would be ten times more dangerous than both of them combined."
DreaMwrite1: "Let me explain."
Tie Di Chiang: "yes, quite... My friend went to the
library to find a way to defeat Akuma... but I fear Tong She may have taken the
relevant books with him"
Tie Di Chiang: "but I am sorry, please continue"
DreaMwrite1: "Long ago a great demon by the name of
Tokoyami was born from the firey pits of hell. He led an army of demons of his
own creation to take over the world..."
DreaMwrite1: "To make a long storyshort he was
defeated by a powerful preist who, using a powerful amulet, sealed him away for
all eternity in the depths of hell from which he came, along with the rest of
his army."
DreaMwrite1: "It seems though that the greatest and
most respected of the Shao-lin has betrayed us, studying the ancient texts in
search of a way to free this demon."
DreaMwrite1: "I fear he has escaped so that he may
summon the vile creature or give the information to another who can."
DreaMwrite1: ((which I could have pasted all that
into one sentance. Ah well))
Tie Di Chiang: "intriguing... "
Tie Di Chiang: "this amulet... what did it look
like?"
DreaMwrite1: "And that is the jist of it. If he was
to summon that demon I am not sure how it would ever be stopped..." the monk
lowers his head, almost as if mourning for the future lives of many.
DreaMwrite1: "I am unsure."
Tie Di Chiang: "Hmm, I must confer with my fellows...
which way to the library?"
DreaMwrite1: "Actually there is an artwork done of
the final battle against it, perhaps that has a picture of the amulet."
Tie Di Chiang: "ah, where is this image?"
DreaMwrite1: "Come follow me I'll show you."
DreaMwrite1: ((Sorry Jun about not responding to ya
got a little too into Tie's part of the story.))
Jun Nekkara: ((Its okay))
Tie Di Chiang: "I suggest that you also scour Tong's
room for evidence of his crimes"
Jun Nekkara: ((I'm figuring I won't get the help I
want anyway))
DreaMwrite1: ((You getting all this though? Perhaps
Tie will explain everything word for word so he can know all that has happened
here ;-) ))
Jun Nekkara: ((OH, I always pay attention -- if I'm
here))
DreaMwrite1: "His room is empty, monks do not see a
reason in keeping secrets....until now that is..."
DreaMwrite1: "Here it is." the monk points toward a
large painting with armies on either side.
Tie Di Chiang: *examines the painting*
DreaMwrite1: On one side is a mob of shadows and
demons along with many humans.
DreaMwrite1: At the lead of this demonic army is a
black robed individual with the hood covering its face.
Tie Di Chiang: (uh oh...)
DreaMwrite1: There is a tint of darkness around there
side and at the same time a tint of light on the other.
Jun Nekkara: ((Nice to know there is a demon dress
uniform :-P))
DreaMwrite1: On the lighter side is a man on a white
horse wearing white robes.
Tie Di Chiang: (any amulets that look like that rock
of Aira's?)
Tie Di Chiang: (or other amulets?)
DreaMwrite1: Behind the man is a large army of men.
DreaMwrite1: ((demon dress uniform or the outfit of
a cult of some kind? You decide.))
DreaMwrite1: The man on horseback has something in
his hand.
DreaMwrite1: It appears to be an amulet that looks a
lot like the one that the preist in the temple had that you had recently
visited.
Tie Di Chiang: (hmmmm...)
DreaMwrite1: "There it is. I hope that helps some."
Tie Di Chiang: (they defeated the demons with black
tentacles...)
DreaMwrite1: ((Heh ya they defeated the demons with
black tenticals ;-) ))
Tie Di Chiang: "I believe it does, though perhaps
not in the way I expected..."
Tie Di Chiang: "but it at least gives me hope for
the future"
Tie Di Chiang: "now, I must find my friend, I
believe he should be in the library, could you show me the way to it?"
Tie Di Chiang: (... what am I saying... I used to
live here...)
DreaMwrite1: ((lol
Tie Di Chiang: (the library's that way :-D )
DreaMwrite1: "I can show you the way if you want."
Tie Di Chiang: "wait, I think I know..." *heads
towards where the library is in his time*
DreaMwrite1: "Oh ok."
DreaMwrite1: You walk down the long halls toward the
library Tie.
DreaMwrite1: Tie finds Jun in the library arguing
with one of the old men reading at one of their desks.
Jun Nekkara: ((Arguing? Wow, that is rather harsh.
Must've went through them all being nice and gotten no where))
Tie Di Chiang: ("we only write in Chinese! Chinese
best language to write in!")
Jun Nekkara: ((You can write in Chinese all you
like. Just help me translate it!))
Tie Di Chiang: "what is going on here?"
Tie Di Chiang: "I thought youw ere doing
research..."
Jun Nekkara: *stops 'arguing' and looks to Tie*
"Yes, I wish that were the case. However there is one problem with that. I
cannot read these books. I am not fluent in your language"
Tie Di Chiang: "is that all? well why didn't you ask
one of the scholars to help you?" :-D
Jun Nekkara: "I tried to kindly ask for some
assitance, but that has gotten me no where"
Tie Di Chiang: "well, maybe I can help..."
Jun Nekkara: "I would gladly accept your assistance
in this matter"
Tie Di Chiang: *to one of the scribes, in Chinese*
"do you know what books Master Tong She has been studying?"
Jun Nekkara: "From what I have gathered, there are
no known ways to kill him for good. However, there are ways to seal him away.
But I can't find the book for it. Even if I could, I would not be able to read
it"
DreaMwrite1: "Oh yes he left them laying on the
table over there, seemed to be in a hurry. I think he ripped out some of the
pages, but didn't want to question his descision."
Jun Nekkara: ((Sure, they help Tie with no problems.
Darn racist monks!))
DreaMwrite1: ((Heh now ya know how Tie feels in
Japan))
Tie Di Chiang: (heh, well all the ones that speak
Japanese are probably in Japan :-P )
Jun Nekkara: ((Was able to communicate with them
earlier no problem :-P))
Tie Di Chiang: (could be worse, I could be Korean
:-D )
Tie Di Chiang: "these books right here?" *goes to
the table with the books*
DreaMwrite1: "Those are it."
Jun Nekkara: *keeps beside Tie*
Tie Di Chiang: "are there any books on the subject
of sealing and destroying demons?"
DreaMwrite1: You look at the books and none of them
mention sealing or demon destruction in the title.
Tie Di Chiang: (that was in character question :-P )
DreaMwrite1: Some are on the techniques of drawing
mystic circles though.
DreaMwrite1: "The book that mentions Mystic Circles
may be related to that but only a trained shinto preist may use that kind of
magic. Nothing of use to a shao-lin monk."
Tie Di Chiang: "well, luckily my friend here is
versed in such things"
Tie Di Chiang: *opens the book in question*
DreaMwrite1: Tie you find the book as interesting as
watching the grass grow.
Tie Di Chiang: (any pictures that Jun might find
useful? :-P )
DreaMwrite1: It has long drawn out rituals that
discuss ways of summoning demons, those of protection, and those of banishing
using the ancient art of circle magic.
DreaMwrite1: That is the jist of it. Many of the
rituals require time and specific components to work.
DreaMwrite1: Which are listed in the book.
Tie Di Chiang: *checks through the other books and
looks for torn pages*
Tie Di Chiang: "here, see if you understand any of
these rituals" *hands the circle book to Jun*
DreaMwrite1: You find pages torn out of the book in
the portion around demon summoning.
DreaMwrite1: The diagrams of the circles required to
make are the only thing Jun can understand from it.
Tie Di Chiang: "I think we can safely assuem that
the pages missing are on Tong's person"
Jun Nekkara: "Agreed"
Jun Nekkara: "And for this book, I will still need
help in translating and specific ritual"
DreaMwrite1: The other books are also related to
demons.
Tie Di Chiang: "Tong She has fled the temple, but
apparentyl he was overheard in conversation with Akuma"
DreaMwrite1: One is based upon the battling and
destruction of demons and the other is full of stories on demons.
Tie Di Chiang: "of further note, I believe I now
know the identity of Aira's demon..."
Jun Nekkara: *looks to Tie* "And that person is?"
DreaMwrite1: ((Tokoyami was its name btw))
Tie Di Chiang: "it seems Tong She and Akuma summoned
him in this time period... He was an ancient demon called Tokoyami, defeated
long ago and sealed away with a amagic amulet"
Tie Di Chiang: "an amulet, which seems to be in the
possesion of that wonderful chap at the temple in Aira's memory..."
Jun Nekkara: ((Isn't that the same amulet in Aira's
hand? *tries to remember*))
DreaMwrite1: Jun you remember that is the same
amulet in Aira's hand.
Jun Nekkara: "I see. Did you learn anything else
that may be of use? Such as why your old teacher is working with Akuma?"
DreaMwrite1: Also the same amulet Akuma had used in
the past.
Jun Nekkara: ((I would've checked the notes from the
first game...but those are gone :-())
DreaMwrite1: ((np
Tie Di Chiang: "It would seem that the three are not
equal partners"
Tie Di Chiang: "Akuma and Tong She brought Tokoyami
back to life in order to increase their own powers... Tokoyami seems to have
been a great King among the demons long ago, creating many of the lesser
infernals with his own hands"
Tie Di Chiang: "I still do not understand his
connection to Aira, or her mother, but I reckon that the book Aira acquired is
an important piece of the puzzle"
Jun Nekkara: *looks intrigued* "So you are saying
this Tokoyami is the one in charge then?"
Tie Di Chiang: "he may well be"
Jun Nekkara: *seems a bit frustrated* "Yes, I'm sure
the book is. However, it is useless to us now"
Tie Di Chiang: "one of his reputed power could
certainly be the one that resurrected Akuma"
Tie Di Chiang: "perhaps, perhaps not... Kitsun could
read it, if we ever make it back to our own time..."
Jun Nekkara: "Last time she said she was unable"
Jun Nekkara: "Do you think she was perhaps lying?"
Tie Di Chiang: (I could have sworn she could read
it... she was dead set against it when she was masquerading as a human...)
Tie Di Chiang: (mah anyway...)
Tie Di Chiang: "at any rate, we may be able to find
something useful in these books" *begins to translate the magic circles to Jun*
Jun Nekkara: ((Fairly sure before she passed out and
we were attacked she said she honestly couldn't though))
Jun Nekkara: "For now, that will have to do"
Jun Nekkara: *will take notes on parchment much like
the other monks if they will be so kind as to let me have a piece*
DreaMwrite1: One of the monks brings you a piece of
parchment and something to write with Jun.
DreaMwrite1: Its a rather long book Tie anything
specific you want to translate?
Tie Di Chiang: (well, basically I'm just telling Jun
the names and functions until he hears one that he thinks might be the one we
want"
DreaMwrite1: ((Ahh ok
Tie Di Chiang: (any that involve binding really
powerful demons away for eternity :-) )
Jun Nekkara: ((Making sure they suffer while there
:-D))
Tie Di Chiang: (ideally with the help of a cerian
amulat :-) )
Tie Di Chiang: (^certain)
DreaMwrite1: Jun you hear about rituals for
protection agat demons (which sounds rather like your spirit ward), ones for
summoning demons, summoning spirits, rituals for containment of demons, etc.
DreaMwrite1: ((^amulet))
Jun Nekkara: *asks Tie to stop at summoning spirits
and asks him to elaborate*
Jun Nekkara: "It is something I had not planned on,
but it could come in handy"
DreaMwrite1: The ritual allows you to summon a
specific spirit to their location. It requires knowing the name of the
individual spirit along with the necessary components.
Tie Di Chiang: "Circle for the Invocation of
Spirituous Beings"
Jun Nekkara: *wonders what Garouki's real name was*
Jun Nekkara: *takes down all the required
information*
Tie Di Chiang: (search deep within yourself and you
shall find it :-) )
DreaMwrite1: You jot down the entire ritual on the
parchment Jun, your hands are now hurting.
DreaMwrite1: Hand that is.
Jun Nekkara: *flexes hand* "That was much. But we
cannot stop now. We still must worry about a way to deal with Akuma...and
perhaps this Tokoyami now. Please continue"
DreaMwrite1: Tie you read over the book further.
Jun Nekkara: ((I guess it will be time to pay a bit
more attention on the rituals for containing demons))
DreaMwrite1: The next section being "The Circle of
the Containment of Higher Order Demons."...
DreaMwrite1: To Be Continued.
Jun Nekkara: ((Definitely sounds like what I'm
looking for))
DreaMwrite1: Heh yep
DreaMwrite1: Well I think that was a rather good
game. Got to learn a lot more about what is going on.
Tie Di Chiang: "circle for the curing of sexual
impotence"
DreaMwrite1: lol
Jun Nekkara: And got a chance for getting Garouki
back. Though whether he is alive or dead still remains unknown
DreaMwrite1: That kind of knowledge is unknown to
even the greatest preists.
DreaMwrite1: What do you all think of the game?
DreaMwrite1: Comments? Suggestions?
Tie Di Chiang: "gather one ginseng, on the night of
a full moon, in the Hour of the Dragon... grind ginseng and vigorously rub--"
Tie Di Chiang: 'Twas fun
DreaMwrite1: Heh nice TIe.
Tie Di Chiang: accomplished a few important goals
Jun Nekkara: Aye, fun indeed. And I'm just wanting
to know how Jun's little experiment to get Garouki back will turn out
DreaMwrite1: ya
Jun Nekkara: Though I'll have to pry full details
out of Tie later
DreaMwrite1: Poor Tie
DreaMwrite1: Bad enough that he finds out that his
teacher is an evil mastermind set out to take over the world.
Jun Nekkara: I don't believe it
Jun Nekkara: I'm still skeptical
DreaMwrite1: O:-)
DreaMwrite1: Anyways
DreaMwrite1: IRC is a chat program that some other
BESM people use
Tie Di Chiang: Internet Relay Chat
DreaMwrite1: There ya go
Tie Di Chiang: it's tsort of the original chatroom
software
DreaMwrite1: I'm not sure where to download it but
www.fileplanet.com
should have it if you do a search on IRC
Jun Nekkara: And of
course, I can't possibly believe that Aira's enemy is Tokoyami (personally). If
he is so much more powerful than Akuma and Tie's master, then we would never
stand a chance. We can't take either of those two as it is
Tie Di Chiang: it's not something you download
technically
Tie Di Chiang: you do have to doanload a client
program to access it
DreaMwrite1: ya guys think it is just Aira's enemy
Tie Di Chiang: well the picture looked an awful lot
liek him
Jun Nekkara: ((Well, we all have to have our
personal enemies before the big bad guy, right?))
Tie Di Chiang: he well, I asusme he's her father :-D
Tie Di Chiang: or something special to her in some
way
Tie Di Chiang: not just an enemy
Tie Di Chiang: after all, my 'nemesis' if you will,
used to be my teacher
DreaMwrite1: yep
Tie Di Chiang: and Akuma's everybody's enemy :-P
Tie Di Chiang: as are they all really
Jun Nekkara: Hey, there's history there between us.
He's mine! :-P
DreaMwrite1: So true
DreaMwrite1: Heh rock/paper/scissors to fight Akuma?
Tie Di Chiang: hehe, in a martial arts setting like
this, rock is a punch in the face, paper's a karate chop, and scissors an
eye-poke :-D
DreaMwrite1: heh
Jun Nekkara: That would be Dragon Ball
DreaMwrite1: yep Goku loves rock/paper/scissors.
Jun Nekkara: Well, he did the attacks like Tie was
just saying
Tie Di Chiang: hehe, well it's natural
Jun Nekkara: Ya, I'm not saying that is where you
got it. Just a mental visual for me, that is all
Tie Di Chiang: Rock is a fist, paper an open hand
with fingers together, and scissors two fingers
Tie Di Chiang: a punch, a chop, and a poke :-)
Jun Nekkara: A poke reminiscent of the Three Stooges
Tie Di Chiang: Nyuku nyuk nyuk!
Tie Di Chiang: Stooge Fu!
Jun Nekkara: Hey, why don't you go make an art form
like that Tie
DreaMwrite1: lol
Tie Di Chiang: I think somebody may have beaten me
to it *checks PMAN*
Jun Nekkara: Did they really?
Tie Di Chiang: Not sure, just sounds familiar
Jun Nekkara: *waits to see if it is there or not*
DreaMwrite1: hmm so have ya thought on a mecha char
at all Prysus?
Jun Nekkara: Um....not really
Tie Di Chiang: Hmm, don't see it... Could have sworn
I'd seen Stoogitsu somewhere, but maybe I just imagined it :-P
Jun Nekkara: How soon would I need him?
DreaMwrite1: Hmm maybe a month at most
Jun Nekkara: I guess you've just been dreaming about
such a form for longer than you thought
DreaMwrite1: Its hard to say for sure how long this
campaign will go but it seems to be wrapping up
DreaMwrite1: I believe Tinker here is going to be
playing a mechanical genious of some kind?
Tie Di Chiang: Yup
Tie Di Chiang: Probably
DreaMwrite1: I'll have the info on the background
and such all written up
DreaMwrite1: Decided not to require Uses Energy for
the weapon systems though
Tie Di Chiang: Haven't gottena round to actually
designing a mecha yet though
DreaMwrite1: maybe your two's mecha can merge
together into a super bot?
Tie Di Chiang: I'll endeavor not to go overboard
this time
Jun Nekkara: I have absolutely no clue what I'm
going to be doing with my character to be honest
DreaMwrite1: Thats alright.
DreaMwrite1: It might be nice to think on it some
though
Jun Nekkara: Well, there are still things I'm not
fully sure about, so I'm having trouble thinking of a good character
Tie Di Chiang: Well, think of the common themes that
appear in mecha shows... the rookie pilot, the streetwise bad boy, the techie,
the girl...
Tie Di Chiang: the Idol Singer :-D
Jun Nekkara: Not saying I can't go with one of those
concepts, but I still need to know more things before I decide what I'm going to
do. I think I'll wait for the background before I start
Tie Di Chiang: Hmm, might just convert something out
of Mekton...
Tie Di Chiang: good idea
Tie Di Chiang: helps to have a history like that to
base the character on
Jun Nekkara: Of course, I still haven't figured out
everything I'm going to do with my current character
DreaMwrite1: The characters will be residents of
Area 51 got that much done.
DreaMwrite1: They are all military relitives though
there are also people who escaped to Utah during the begining of the bug
invasion.
Jun Nekkara: Hey, do either of you know how many
games its been since we started this new storyline in the campaign?
DreaMwrite1: Hmm I believe febuary
DreaMwrite1: Its been a while with Jun, Tie, and
Aira
Jun Nekkara: Well, I"m not talking about the break.
I'm just talking about since we started back up again
Tie Di Chiang: well it's been more or less every
week for a couple of months
Jun Nekkara: So no ideas on numbers, huh? Okay, not
a problem
Tie Di Chiang: Started in June or July I think
DreaMwrite1: hmm since March
DreaMwrite1: no wait June
Tie Di Chiang: that long ago? I could have sworn we
only restarted at the beginning of Summer...
Tie Di Chiang: because you were starting up Sumemr
classes
Tie Di Chiang: ^summer
DreaMwrite1: Was thinking I hadnt done research on
it in march but I was starting summer courses when we started
DreaMwrite1: So it was in June
DreaMwrite1: This is our 11th game
Jun Nekkara: Okay, that is all I was asking. THank
you
DreaMwrite1: so about a couple months
DreaMwrite1: nm this was our 12
DreaMwrite1: anyways I'll send ya the background
when I'm finished with it
Jun Nekkara: Okay
DreaMwrite1: Should have it done by tomarrow
DreaMwrite1: I think I'll take out the defense
system from the mecha too
Jun Nekkara: So that means I lost the records of the
first 8 games. That is what I was trying to figure out
DreaMwrite1: It just doesnt feel fair for me to have
as many requirements as I did
DreaMwrite1: I'll send ya all of them if ya want me
to
DreaMwrite1: Or I can make a website and post them
on there
Jun Nekkara: I'll be happy to get a copy of them
again
DreaMwrite1: there ya go
DreaMwrite1: did you get that?
DreaMwrite1: The first game isnt there cause it was
in palladium chat I believe
DreaMwrite1: sigh which sucks a whole bunch
Jun Nekkara: I got it
DreaMwrite1: glad to hear it
DreaMwrite1: one of these days I'm going to edit all
of it so it can look like a story
Jun Nekkara: Sorry for the delay, was just looking
it over. And ya, I think I remember that game being in the Palladium chats
DreaMwrite1: Might be fun to have people read the
adventures of a monk, a preist, and a little girl
Jun Nekkara: We had an AIM phobe in the group
DreaMwrite1: yep
Tie Di Chiang: We did?
Jun Nekkara: He lasted but one game
Tie Di Chiang: Hmm...
Jun Nekkara: Another one of the many individuals
that Jun didn't get along with. Something with the new characters always wanting
to kill us
DreaMwrite1: heh
Jun Nekkara: Tie, he was a half or full demon (can't
remember which) that I believe resembled something like a cat. He had the
ability to turn water into a weapon
Tie Di Chiang: ah, that guy
Tie Di Chiang: yeah, he played a Wampyr in the
Nightbane campaign
Tie Di Chiang: I thought we were talking about the
very first game of all...
DreaMwrite1: heh
Tie Di Chiang: one of the game in the first campaign
was also played in the Palladium chatroom, when AOL chat was shut down for
maintenance one night
Jun Nekkara: Nope, though I am missing the first
game with Jun. Right after the obliteration of poor Tenkei :'( I still weep for
him at night :-P
DreaMwrite1: yep I remember that
Jun Nekkara: I remember that game as well
DreaMwrite1: heh
DreaMwrite1: Which was that?
Tie Di Chiang: Hmm, I think it was pretty far into
the campaign
Tie Di Chiang: But I can't remember exactly
DreaMwrite1: the third game I believe
DreaMwrite1: First was Shinzoku and second was
Arashi
Tie Di Chiang: well okay, maybe it was the opposite
Jun Nekkara: Well, Jun entered the 3rd, but the game
in the Palladium chat came later
Tie Di Chiang: all the game kind of run together for
me :-P
Tie Di Chiang: ^games
