[Sun Jun 20 23:53:39 2021] Elle_Mayo >> ((lol its nbd, pick a spot!))
[Sun Jun 20 23:54:11 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> ((we can just refluff this as that fire for ease of things?))
[Sun Jun 20 23:54:25 2021] Charon >> ((Deleting things))
[Sun Jun 20 23:54:37 2021] Firbolg >> *Firbolg takes another drink of the moonshine*
[Sun Jun 20 23:55:18 2021] Charon >> "Fiz, how's it going?"
*He offers an arm to the approaching Hexi.*
[Sun Jun 20 23:56:30 2021] Firbolg >> "It's going Charon, It's going, you?"
[Sun Jun 20 23:57:12 2021] Charon >> "Much the same. Better now than before, I reckon."
[Sun Jun 20 23:57:57 2021] Firbolg >> "Well, here's to feeling better"

*Firbolg raises his drink*

"So what're you playing cowboy and why is it going to be Walzting Matilda?"
[Sun Jun 20 23:58:43 2021] Firbolg >> *Firbolg, who's never actually met gloom, seeing her many arms takes a moment to look down at the moonshine*
[Sun Jun 20 23:59:10 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> *Hexi remains standing, dancing a bit around, seemingly very happy with her outfit*
[Mon Jun 21 00:02:00 2021] Charon >> "Suppose I could use that as a warm-up."
*He picks his guitar up and plucks a couple of experimental notes.*
[Mon Jun 21 00:02:37 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> "play me something I can sing to Caz"
[Mon Jun 21 00:03:21 2021] Firbolg >> "Oh, you're Gloom? Nice to meet you, I'm Firbolg."
[Mon Jun 21 00:04:22 2021] Charon >> "Well I don't know what you know, Hexi."
[Mon Jun 21 00:05:35 2021] Nine >> *Nine strolls up with a warm smile and a wave. He pats Fiz on the shoulder, grabbing a spot near he and Caz.*
[Mon Jun 21 00:06:44 2021] Firbolg >> *Firbolg nods at Nine* "Miss much?"
[Mon Jun 21 00:06:50 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> "heey Nine" *She smiles continueing to dance* "what do you think?"
[Mon Jun 21 00:08:00 2021] Firbolg >> "Likewise, I've only seen your name pop up a few times"
[Mon Jun 21 00:09:08 2021] Nine >> "You look stunning obviously. I'll steal a dance with you later this evening?" 
*he smiles coyly*

"The night is young and time isn't real, Fiz. Enjoy, and glad to have you back."
[Mon Jun 21 00:09:56 2021] Charon >> *Charon quietly starts to play, just as a warm-up, Waltzing Matilda, as Firbolg requested.*

*He scowls as he fucks up a handful of notes across the song, but pushes through the whole thing.*
[Mon Jun 21 00:10:16 2021] Firbolg >> *Firbolg smiles singing along with the song*
[Mon Jun 21 00:10:35 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> *Hexi knows a few words to the song but generally just dances along*
[Mon Jun 21 00:10:39 2021] Lupin >> *Lupin wanders in with a new glass of that chocolate aqua vitae*
"Hexi, did you brew this? I am quite pleasantly surprised with it. Thermite said it was made alchemically, but I am sort of curious where the alcohol comes from in this process"
[Mon Jun 21 00:11:11 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> "I'm going to be dancing all night" *she laughs*
[Mon Jun 21 00:15:28 2021] Charon >> *Charon finishes up the song, and puts the guitar aside, then picks his beer back up.*

"Well that was shite."
[Mon Jun 21 00:15:31 2021] Lupin >> *Lupin has by now found a place to sit and enjoy both his drink and the camaraderie. I imagine despite his attempt at staying conservative in terms of alcohol intake that he is getting slightly buzzed by this point.*
[Mon Jun 21 00:15:46 2021] Firbolg >> "Not at all lad! It was good craic"
[Mon Jun 21 00:15:50 2021] Nine >> "It was not, Caz. A fine warm-up!"
[Mon Jun 21 00:16:24 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> h> "yes I made it!" *She smiles and stops dancing* "the alcohol comes form different places, which one are you drinking?"
[Mon Jun 21 00:16:46 2021] Lupin >> "I am currently enjoying the chocolate variant. Quite smooth I have to say."
[Mon Jun 21 00:18:36 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> *she sits down next to him* "ahh yes! The process for that one in particular is the same as a step in a much more complicated version" *she smiles* "but for simplicity cause I can talk at ends about it, the alcohol comes form magically fermenting it without going though the fermentation process"
[Mon Jun 21 00:19:02 2021] Thermite >> *Walking in after Lupin, Thermite raises his hand and his drink, and starts singing in a raspy voice.*
[Mon Jun 21 00:19:12 2021] Thermite >> ||"Unwanted visitors at a quarter till four!
Another corp team kicking in my front door!
Tryin’ to catch me with my chica in bed,
Poison my body with full-auto lead!"||
[Mon Jun 21 00:19:32 2021] Firbolg >> "Lupin! Give us a song!"
[Mon Jun 21 00:19:42 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> "With practice, you can change both the taste and alcohol percentage"
[Mon Jun 21 00:20:00 2021] Lupin >> *Lupin looks at his drink with fascination*
"How curious.. But I certainly cannot argue with the results!"
[Mon Jun 21 00:20:30 2021] Lupin >> "A song you say? Well, if I am to sing, then surely I should get to pick a specific song, no?"
[Mon Jun 21 00:20:49 2021] Firbolg >> "Why not, go on"
[Mon Jun 21 00:21:27 2021] Lupin >> "Alright, how about La Mer by Charles Trenet?" ((posted in rp-ooc in but a moment))
[Mon Jun 21 00:21:55 2021] Lupin >> ((Now, let us see what those 4 dice can do))
[Mon Jun 21 00:22:11 2021] Firbolg >> "Belt her out lad!"
[Mon Jun 21 00:22:14 2021] Thermite >> "Fuck them corpo slitches with a rusty bandsaw!" *He roars back at Nine.*
[Mon Jun 21 00:22:40 2021] Charon >> *Charon leans his elbows on his knees as he listens silently.*
[Mon Jun 21 00:23:49 2021] Thermite >> "We're about to get extracted by Horizon any time now. Been a pleasure, everyone." *Thermite laughs, taking a long swig.*
[Mon Jun 21 00:24:02 2021] Lupin >> *Lupin sings La Mer to the best of his abilities given his current state to the tune of one total hit from his four dice and he hopes people enjoyed the nice slow and quiet song.*
[Mon Jun 21 00:24:21 2021] Firbolg >> *Firbolg happily gives a listen*
[Mon Jun 21 00:24:46 2021] Lupin >> ((Again, the little 3-minute ish song is posted in rp-ooc.))
[Mon Jun 21 00:24:51 2021] Nine >> *Nine moves to Caz, sitting down and putting a hand on his shoulder*

"you were great man, keep it up. Plenty of tunes to be had tonight"
[Mon Jun 21 00:25:32 2021] Charon >> *He laughs.* 

"Relax mate, I know."
[Mon Jun 21 00:26:45 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> "can I try one? It's English and Sperethiel though"
[Mon Jun 21 00:27:04 2021] Firbolg >> "Absolutely Hex crack it out!"
[Mon Jun 21 00:27:04 2021] Thermite >> "Not only you can, you should, mate."
[Mon Jun 21 00:27:22 2021] Charon >> *Charon nods with a grin.*
[Mon Jun 21 00:27:35 2021] Elle_Mayo >> "Woo!" a cheer of encouragement comes from over by the food tables.
[Mon Jun 21 00:28:22 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> *she starts singing, some parts are English and some Sperethiel, it's a bit better* ||3 hits||
[Mon Jun 21 00:31:14 2021] Lupin >> ((Since I will be trying to pop off to sleep again, I will leave with the note that Lupin will try to not get more drunk than he currently is, but if requested, he will give a go at singing more songs. If anyone pays attention, they will notice most of them will be French Chansons from the 1920's to the late 1940's. Hell, if prodded enough he might even try singing La Vie En Rose even though that originally was sung by the lovely Edith Piaf and not really normally sung by a man. When it eventually comes to jumping the bonfire, he will give it a go and hope that Firbolg is there in case he screws up somehow. After the bonfire jump he will bid adieu, pack his things and have his car drive him home. If there are any specific things people would like to try and interact with Lupin about, by all means try and send me a message, as I may still be awake considering how much difficulty I have already had in falling asleep.))
[Mon Jun 21 00:31:51 2021] Firbolg >> *Firbolg applauds* "That's a nice one Hex" *He nods at Nine with a 'go on, you're next' look*
[Mon Jun 21 00:31:59 2021] Firbolg >> "How old is the song?"
[Mon Jun 21 00:32:10 2021] Lupin >> ((And when it comes to the quality of his singing, I guess we can assume he sings about as well as his initial roll for La Mer))
[Mon Jun 21 00:33:07 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> h>"thanks Fiz" *she smiles at nine and gives a "go on" nod*
[Mon Jun 21 00:34:48 2021] Guilt-Trip/Crowley >> G> *Parker is just sitting in one of the trees, enjoying the show*
[Mon Jun 21 00:36:08 2021] Charon >> *Charon glances up at Parker, throws him a wink, then goes back to paying attention to the group.*
[Mon Jun 21 00:36:52 2021] Thermite >> "Nine, you're up, mate."
[Mon Jun 21 00:37:09 2021] Nine >> "Kidding, fiiiiine."
[Mon Jun 21 00:37:16 2021] Firbolg >> "Good man yerself!"
[Mon Jun 21 00:37:17 2021] Thermite >> "Yeah, nah, you're being peer pressured."
[Mon Jun 21 00:37:31 2021] Nine >> "Yeah, Caz?"
[Mon Jun 21 00:37:51 2021] Charon >> *He picks up his guitar and strums a few notes.*
"What about that one I sent you the other day? You like that band, don't you?"
[Mon Jun 21 00:38:43 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> h>"ohh this is gonna be good!"
[Mon Jun 21 00:38:52 2021] Firbolg >> "G'wan lads!"
[Mon Jun 21 00:39:55 2021] Nine >> "Reason" *he smiles, nodding he's good to go*
[Mon Jun 21 00:40:37 2021] Charon >> "Then the vocals start with you, yeah?"

*Charon starts to play.*
[Mon Jun 21 00:43:37 2021] Nine >> 🎵*Achilles*
*Achilles*
*Achilles come down, won't you*
*Get up off*
*Get up off the roof?* 🎵
[Mon Jun 21 00:44:11 2021] Charon >> 🎵  *Be real and just jump, you dense motherfucker* 🎵
[Mon Jun 21 00:46:05 2021] Nine >> 🎵*The self is not so weightless*
*Nor whole and unbroken*
*Remember the pact of our youth*🎵
[Mon Jun 21 00:46:08 2021] Charon >> pk;edit 🎵 *You want the acclaim*
*The mother of mothers (it's not worth it Achilles)*
*More poignant than fame*
*Or the taste of another (don't listen Achilles)*
*But be real and just jump*
*You dense motherfucker (you're worth more, Achilles)*
*You will not be more*
*Than a rat in the gutter (so much more than a rat)* 🎵 

((I believe the parts in brackets are what Nine sings.))
[Mon Jun 21 00:47:01 2021] Thermite >> (Damn, rude. :D)
[Mon Jun 21 00:47:15 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> h>*Hexi looks at Gloom*
[Mon Jun 21 00:47:32 2021] Nine >> *Nine sings happily, not particularly well but with the joy of someone singing a song they love*
[Mon Jun 21 00:47:58 2021] Thermite >> *Thumping slowly to his chest in tone with the song, Thermite slowly tilts left and right, his eyes glazing into the distance.*
[Mon Jun 21 00:48:14 2021] Firbolg >> *Firbolg smiles at the two having fun singing and when they finish turns his attention to Gloom*
[Mon Jun 21 00:48:47 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> *Akane moves to the fire but keeps her distance a little*
[Mon Jun 21 00:49:47 2021] Nine >> *Nine continues the harmony and finishes the song, laughing with Caz before cutting a slight look to Gloom*

"We were going around the circle, but looks like the floor is yours, Gloom. Something urgent I assume?"
[Mon Jun 21 00:50:24 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> h>*Hexi moves over and sits down next to Nine*
[Mon Jun 21 00:50:47 2021] Thermite >> "The mana's swirling.", *Thermite mutters to nobody in particular.
[Mon Jun 21 00:51:16 2021] Firbolg >> *Firbolg will rest a hand on Thermites shoulder*

"Doing alright lad?"
[Mon Jun 21 00:52:34 2021] Gearslip >> *Candy jogs up to Gloom, and starts clapping along. He might have misunderstood.*
[Mon Jun 21 00:53:36 2021] Nine >> "Hey, beautiful" *Nine welcomes Hexi over with a warm smile*
[Mon Jun 21 00:54:20 2021] Thermite >> "Yeah, mate. It's the first time I've felt the mana be, you know, positive, if you know what I mean. You probably don't know what I mean, though." *He snaps away from his slightly dizzy focus, and turns around.* "Guess we'll see what's what, eh, mate?"
[Mon Jun 21 00:55:00 2021] Firbolg >> *Firbolg shrugs*

"Not really, but I get the sentiment"
[Mon Jun 21 00:55:34 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> *she smiles at Nine and wraps an arm around him* "hey, handsome"
[Mon Jun 21 00:57:33 2021] Firbolg >> *Firbolg raises an eyebrow*

"Step beyond, as in beyond the mundane? For want of a better word?"
[Mon Jun 21 01:04:16 2021] Firbolg >> *Firbolg thinks on that a moment, then raises his hand to volunteer, not really knowing if Gloom is actually looking for volunteers yet.*
[Mon Jun 21 01:04:44 2021] Thermite >> *A smirk crawls on Thermite's face.* "This is gonna be some wacko shit, mate.", *he whispers to Firbolg.*
[Mon Jun 21 01:05:56 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> *Hexi stand up with a smile* "sorry I got somewhere else and something else to do"
[Mon Jun 21 01:06:33 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> *she stars to walk away from the fire and just in the general direction of the forest*
[Mon Jun 21 01:07:23 2021] Nine >> *Nine squeezed her hand before she left, encouraging her to head off*
[Mon Jun 21 01:10:44 2021] Firbolg >> *Firbolg still has his hand raised to volunteer*
[Mon Jun 21 01:10:58 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> a> *Akane watches with interest*
[Mon Jun 21 01:12:42 2021] Charon >> *Charon seems unsure.*
[Mon Jun 21 01:14:19 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> h> *Hexi's little pink bird flutters about but then takes off into the forest the same direction Hexi went*
[Mon Jun 21 01:14:25 2021] Thermite >> "You probably won't. Don't worry, mate, I'll be there witcha."
[Mon Jun 21 01:14:41 2021] Thermite >> "Just look for the man with the makeshift armour."
[Mon Jun 21 01:15:29 2021] Firbolg >> *Firbolg nods*

"I'm all aboard then."
[Mon Jun 21 01:15:31 2021] Elle_Mayo >> Muse returns from the forest a little more flush-faced than before and beaming. She stops by the food table to get another drink before joining everyone at the bonfire.
[Mon Jun 21 01:16:56 2021] Charon >> *All traces of Charons worry disappear.*

"Bring it on."
[Mon Jun 21 01:17:45 2021] Firbolg >> *Firbolg mostly just sits still, he's not sure what to actually do in this scenario*
[Mon Jun 21 01:18:07 2021] Elle_Mayo >> "I just had to pee but thanks," she lies. "Ooo, is everyone gonna get a glimpse of the astral?"
[Mon Jun 21 01:19:36 2021] Thermite >> "It's not a glimpse, it's more of a whole hog cannonballing into it.."
[Mon Jun 21 01:19:51 2021] Elle_Mayo >> "Oh, ... *oh*."
[Mon Jun 21 01:20:10 2021] Elle_Mayo >> "That's exciting! Oh boy. Okay. Shutting up."
[Mon Jun 21 01:21:59 2021] Gearslip >> *KND is sitting on the ground, rocking eagerly, eyes wide and waiting for his anointment.* ((Back properly in a half hour))
[Mon Jun 21 01:31:42 2021] Mad Dog/Code Silver >> *Mad Dog comes back, watching from the edges.*
[Mon Jun 21 01:32:05 2021] flybypie >> N>*Napster looks down at himself and frowns at how dark his aura is due to all his 'ware.*
[Mon Jun 21 01:32:16 2021] Fiddler >> >>Fiddler comes from the tables with a sandwich, a little woobly on his feet. Puts a hand on Thermite's hands while looking at the people getting ointment on their eyes, also asking for some. "So what should I be se-eeeeeeeeeeeeeehhhhhhhhh" *He gets breathless for a while* "Nevermind, I think it's happening"
[Mon Jun 21 01:32:47 2021] Guilt-Trip/Crowley >> G> *Parker literally has no idea what's going on*
[Mon Jun 21 01:33:06 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> h> *Someone ~~Hexi~~ is badly ~~hiding~~ poking out from behind a tree in her astral self, the little pink bird much bigger in the astral. She is watching what is going on
[Mon Jun 21 01:33:40 2021] Firbolg >> *Firbolg seems a bit older in here and he is clearly freaking out a little bit*
[Mon Jun 21 01:33:49 2021] Thermite >> "So it would, mate, so it would." *Thermite grins, and a moment later, you can see his aura glowing even brighter.*
[Mon Jun 21 01:33:56 2021] Charon >> *Charon just looks around. Smiling.*
[Mon Jun 21 01:34:25 2021] Firbolg >> "Wha... This is... that's... what"
[Mon Jun 21 01:35:17 2021] Nine >> *Nine, not partaking, heads over towards Mad Dog* 

"Hey, Mad. You having a good night?"
[Mon Jun 21 01:35:43 2021] Mad Dog/Code Silver >> "Not bad. You sitting out as well?"
[Mon Jun 21 01:36:54 2021] Charon >> *Charon waves back, now grinning.*
[Mon Jun 21 01:37:01 2021] Mad Dog/Code Silver >> *Mad Dog holds up a hand with a small smile to politely decline Gloom's offer.*
[Mon Jun 21 01:37:44 2021] Firbolg >> *Firbolgs breathing a little bit, gets a grip of himself and nods*

"Yeah....yeah, it's just, wow, and you all can see this? Just whenever?"
[Mon Jun 21 01:38:25 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> *Anyone that spots Hexi sees what they see in the image, but in the coloured of the image, not the red-orange version*
[Mon Jun 21 01:38:44 2021] Thermite >> "Kinda. If you see it, it sees you too, which isn't always ideal." *Thermite's form seems to have sprung a thick metal plate on his chest, and his coat seems much longer.*
[Mon Jun 21 01:38:49 2021] Nine >> "Yeah, not feeling it currently. Vibing just fine as is"
[Mon Jun 21 01:40:38 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> *Hexi's spirit flies over the gathering in circles watching*
[Mon Jun 21 01:41:38 2021] Mad Dog/Code Silver >> "Yeah, I realize it's probably safe, just...Ngh."
[Mon Jun 21 01:41:47 2021] Fiddler >> >>*Fiddler has every sense open between the astral seeing and the red mescaline, moving from one side to other between disoriented and having a spiritual travel* "Right, i brought my violin, should be around here. HEY MERC I'M GONNA PLAY YOU WANT IT OR NOT!! YOU BETTER JOIN" *He starts the melody they agreed yesterday*
[Mon Jun 21 01:42:08 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> *Hexi's little bird is also manifesting, so she can hear what's happening*
[Mon Jun 21 01:42:38 2021] Elle_Mayo >> Muse opens her third eye and glances around at the others, the mundanes viewing as well as the purely astral forms visiting the campsite. As for her own astral form, she looks much like her physical self, but if she were able to let loose and disregard all common decency regarding apparel. Maybe make fewer compromises on the cosmetics, too.
[Mon Jun 21 01:43:04 2021] Firbolg >> *Firbolg looks down at his wrinkled hands*

"Am I.......older in here?"
[Mon Jun 21 01:43:33 2021] Thermite >> "You have an old soul, mate... Sorry, I mean in the everyday use. No fucking clue how old your actual soul is."
[Mon Jun 21 01:43:48 2021] Charon >> *Charon just looks like Charon, astrally or otherwise.*
[Mon Jun 21 01:44:32 2021] Charon >> *Charon chuckles.* "He wants the wisdom without the experience."
[Mon Jun 21 01:44:43 2021] Elle_Mayo >> "What does being older mean to you?" Muse prompts Firbolg.
[Mon Jun 21 01:45:59 2021] Nine >> "Same, Mad. A little, open for me"
[Mon Jun 21 01:46:40 2021] Mad Dog/Code Silver >> "It's tempting, really. But I've seen... similar things go bad. There'll be other solstices, hopefully. Maybe I'll be in a different headspace about it then. Maybe."
[Mon Jun 21 01:46:56 2021] Firbolg >> "I....I don't really know? It's not something I've really thought about."
[Mon Jun 21 01:47:12 2021] Thermite >> "Don't try and figure it out, Bolgo. There's people studying that for 70 years now, and probably longer, and they still don't know it all. Just try and get the vibe."
[Mon Jun 21 01:48:07 2021] Firbolg >> *Firbolg just nods at that and kind of spaces out looking at everything*
[Mon Jun 21 01:48:11 2021] Elle_Mayo >> "Usually it's something like...wisdom, as the ozzy put it, or power, or being a venerated ancestor... I guess I shouldn't ask you if you have any kids."
[Mon Jun 21 01:48:12 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> *Hexi's astral from seems to hover a bit closer* ||can't really discribe hers since it's behind two layers of magic to hide how it actually is||
[Mon Jun 21 01:49:07 2021] Charon >> *Charon throws a wink at Muse, still having no idea who they are.*
[Mon Jun 21 01:49:29 2021] Charon >> "I can say smart things sometimes."
[Mon Jun 21 01:49:34 2021] Thermite >> ||I totally forgot I had my False Impression. Just assume Thermite's pretending to be Mag 4 if you get less that 4 hits||
[Mon Jun 21 01:49:50 2021] Gearslip >> *KND's eyes are like saucers. His ears swivel madly, picking up on the rushing of mana through the world. Like an all-pervasive body of water, but indescribably different. A religious experience, even.*
[Mon Jun 21 01:50:28 2021] Guilt-Trip/Crowley >> G> "And you mind because?"
[Mon Jun 21 01:51:38 2021] Firbolg >> *Firbolg barely seems to have registered the question, shakes his head and looks at muse*

"S-sorry, did you say something? I'm, I am trying to pay attention to all of you but this is......kinda..........mesmerizing"
[Mon Jun 21 01:52:05 2021] Nine >> "Yeah, MD, maybe so. Probably off character for a suit, but wanna hit some zen instead?" *he chuckles, shaking his head a bit*
[Mon Jun 21 01:53:22 2021] flybypie >> N>*Napster fools around with his AR overlay, having fun mixing and matching his matrix/astral perception at the same time.*
[Mon Jun 21 01:54:11 2021] Thermite >> "Napster, mate, just get the Ondo ready for that, because you'll start hurling.", *Thermite chuckles*
[Mon Jun 21 01:54:59 2021] flybypie >> *He glances over at Thermite.* "Sorry, what?" *Adds an AR mustache over Thermite's aura.*
[Mon Jun 21 01:57:30 2021] Elle_Mayo >> "We've got a visitor," Muse comments, pointing out the astral form of Hexi, which as far as she can tell is just a spirit of man. "It's *probably* friendly. Everyone say hiii!" She waves.
[Mon Jun 21 01:58:29 2021] Firbolg >> *Firbolg waves at the spirit*

"Hi there"
[Mon Jun 21 01:59:03 2021] Thermite >> "Hello, mate, howzit going?"
[Mon Jun 21 01:59:26 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> h> *Hexi flies quickly back behind the trees*
[Mon Jun 21 01:59:46 2021] flybypie >> "Hey, when do we get to do the really fun stuff? Like the out of body experience type drugs."
[Mon Jun 21 02:01:08 2021] Mad Dog/Code Silver >> "I'm good, Nine, thanks." *She just sort of watches the display, content to remain away.*
[Mon Jun 21 02:02:32 2021] Thermite >> "Just don't sign anything in general, that's how I do things."
[Mon Jun 21 02:03:08 2021] flybypie >> "Oh I know. Make a deal with a spirit and you get super powers. But the price is always more than you thought. I have watched enough trids to know this."
[Mon Jun 21 02:03:22 2021] Firbolg >> "Napster you're huuuuuuuge"
[Mon Jun 21 02:04:09 2021] Charon >> "So," *Charon voices,* "Everyone looks different here? That normal?"
[Mon Jun 21 02:04:17 2021] Nine >> "For sure."
*Nine hangs with Mad quietly, happy to just chill*
[Mon Jun 21 02:04:42 2021] Thermite >> "Define normal, mate." *Thermite adds with a sarcastic tone.*
[Mon Jun 21 02:04:57 2021] Charon >> "You know what I mean Tezza."
[Mon Jun 21 02:05:08 2021] flybypie >> "Firbolg, you're oooooold"
[Mon Jun 21 02:05:30 2021] Firbolg >> "I knooooooow"
[Mon Jun 21 02:06:14 2021] Thermite >> "Yeah, everyone looks samey, but different. Frankly, I don't see much difference in you, but that's because I've seen your aura before, which is like... the colour pattern for your astral form's picture?"
[Mon Jun 21 02:07:07 2021] Charon >> "You've seen it before? Huh... Guess I'm too used to mages asking permission for that sort of thing, I forgot that's not the norm, is it?
[Mon Jun 21 02:07:50 2021] Thermite >> "Yeah, you don't ask for permission to give me an eyeover to see if I'm packing, you just do it natch."
[Mon Jun 21 02:08:15 2021] Elle_Mayo >> "Gosh, thank you. I was starting to think I was the crazy one with how many people have hangups about it."
[Mon Jun 21 02:08:39 2021] flybypie >> "I'm always packing." *He winks.*
[Mon Jun 21 02:09:12 2021] Thermite >> "You ask people whether you can assense them?" *Thermite asks incredulously.*
[Mon Jun 21 02:09:33 2021] Charon >> "Hexi does it too."
[Mon Jun 21 02:09:55 2021] Elle_Mayo >> "Trying to think... there was a conversation about it... Joyride and a couple others were making a fuss."
[Mon Jun 21 02:10:09 2021] Firbolg >> "I just figured mages did it all the time to be honest, Whoa look at that!"

*He's just staring at the river*
[Mon Jun 21 02:10:10 2021] Thermite >> *Thermite's eyes just turn towards Nu-Sense for a moment, and he remains silent.*
[Mon Jun 21 02:11:54 2021] flybypie >> "Woah, Netty, you got no face."
[Mon Jun 21 02:12:15 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> h>*the spirit will flow a little closer again*
[Mon Jun 21 02:12:57 2021] Thermite >> "Hey, I'm calling quits on discussing our differences in how we approach shit. We have our little astral turtle hatchlings to look after, yeah?"
[Mon Jun 21 02:12:58 2021] Charon >> *Charon tries looking down at himself, seeming a little disappointed.*
[Mon Jun 21 02:14:08 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> ||fuck I forgot Charon is gonna totally recognize Hexi, or at least think this is her spirit. He has seen her spirit of man before||
[Mon Jun 21 02:14:25 2021] Thermite >> "Ah, I getcha. I find it easier to read emotions in an aura, most faces are easy to read."
[Mon Jun 21 02:14:30 2021] Elle_Mayo >> "I get that just by looking at someone's face, Merc. I don't know, I think it's less of a binary and more of.. like, a spectrum at least."
[Mon Jun 21 02:15:02 2021] Charon >> ||He has indeed. Why would he call her out though?||
[Mon Jun 21 02:15:12 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> *Hexi feeling a little more convenient she won't get recognized flies a little closer*
[Mon Jun 21 02:16:22 2021] flybypie >> "Hey, I thought you all said we had astral security here. Who's spirit is that?"
[Mon Jun 21 02:16:41 2021] Thermite >> "Hey man, not all spirits are owned."
[Mon Jun 21 02:16:56 2021] Elle_Mayo >> "Can you tell me about it? I'm low key afraid of being overwhelmed at a bad moment by it."
[Mon Jun 21 02:17:34 2021] Elle_Mayo >> "No, the touching thing. But uh, the spirit seems friendly, and if it tries anything it'll get dealt with, don't worry."
[Mon Jun 21 02:18:16 2021] Elle_Mayo >> "Oh right okay shutting up." She listens to Gloom's speech.
[Mon Jun 21 02:18:20 2021] flybypie >> "Hold up, time travel, Gloom?"
[Mon Jun 21 02:18:31 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> *Hexi's air spirit is currently circling above*

*Hexi currently is hovering closer to the group*
[Mon Jun 21 02:19:29 2021] Elle_Mayo >> "Spiritual time travel, only. A glimpse of the future, and a possibility to change it."
[Mon Jun 21 02:19:43 2021] flybypie >> "Well sign me up!"
[Mon Jun 21 02:20:29 2021] Charon >> "Hidden gate?"
[Mon Jun 21 02:20:42 2021] Charon >> "What's this hidden gate?"
[Mon Jun 21 02:21:29 2021] Charon >> "Oh."
[Mon Jun 21 02:22:06 2021] Mad Dog/Code Silver >> *MD watches and ponders quietly.*
[Mon Jun 21 02:23:17 2021] Charon >> "I think Shade sounds like more of a sure thing then."
[Mon Jun 21 02:23:37 2021] Charon >> "I gotta do anything? I hear you're not supposed to move, or be moved."
[Mon Jun 21 02:23:44 2021] Firbolg >> "I'll go with your second offer, priestess of Ishtar."

*Firbolg says, hoping he got that right and not wanting to spoil the ceremony for gloom*
[Mon Jun 21 02:24:16 2021] flybypie >> "What? You mean I only *might* see my future? Laaaaame."
[Mon Jun 21 02:24:43 2021] Thermite >> "I'll go for the hidden gate, too, yeah." *Thermite nods, then gives Firbolg a wink.* "I've never seen the future either. But drawing on people's faces is considered childish, but okay."
[Mon Jun 21 02:27:44 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> *in the material the little pink bird lands near Charon.*

*In the astral the same bird but larger lands near Charon*
[Mon Jun 21 02:28:49 2021] Mad Dog/Code Silver >> *Mad Dog stays back, she's absolutely not doing the Shade.*
[Mon Jun 21 02:30:51 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> *Hexi looking like a Spirit floats closer, trying to be slow as to not spook anyone, but acting curious*
[Mon Jun 21 02:31:16 2021] Nine >> *Nine nods at MD, heading down towards the group.*

"Gloom, the other option might allow a glimpse of the future?" *he is extremely intrigued*
[Mon Jun 21 02:31:41 2021] flybypie >> *Napster rolls his eyes at being singled out.*
[Mon Jun 21 02:33:10 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> *she hovers backwards a little, holding up hands in a non threadening manner*
[Mon Jun 21 02:33:25 2021] Thermite >> *Nodding, Thermite projects, and the armoured figure glances to where the spirit of man was.* "Hey, mate! We've got some new mundanes projecting, so if you could fuck off for a while, that'd be grand."
[Mon Jun 21 02:34:27 2021] Nine >> "I'd like to try if that's alright. I can focus well."
[Mon Jun 21 02:34:28 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> "I only wish to see and help" *she backs up a little*
[Mon Jun 21 02:35:03 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> *the voice is weak and fragile*
[Mon Jun 21 02:35:55 2021] Charon >> *Charon nods.*
[Mon Jun 21 02:35:58 2021] Thermite >> "Yeah, nah, I scan ya, mate, but boss lady don't want you around. We'll put the astral back to normal before you leave, might even leave some reagents." *He shrugs.* "Just trying to be friendly, mate."
[Mon Jun 21 02:37:46 2021] Elle_Mayo >> Muse will take a dose of Shade as well, if there's enough.
[Mon Jun 21 02:38:24 2021] flybypie >> ((shade is inhalation, could just toss it in the air and we all sniff it?))
[Mon Jun 21 02:38:32 2021] KND >> *Candy finally focuses, almost reverently. Finding his seat next to Muse, as she's one of the few familiar faces remaining right now, legs crossed beneath him as he holds the magical dust in front of him.*
[Mon Jun 21 02:39:20 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> *she hovers a bit further backwards, looking at he group still* "I'll keep my distance, help if people fly away? Yes, help if they make mistake"
[Mon Jun 21 02:39:53 2021] Firbolg >> *FIrbolg inhales on the instruction to do so*
[Mon Jun 21 02:40:10 2021] Charon >> *Charon has Perfect Time, and as such is perfectly in synch.*
[Mon Jun 21 02:41:20 2021] flybypie >> "Wheeeeeeee!" *Napster zooms around the bonfire, clearly having done this before and pretty confident in himself.*
[Mon Jun 21 02:42:06 2021] Thermite >> "Well, I'll keep an eye on ya, but leading lady gives the get go." *He pauses, the mana around his fist calming down.* "So, what's it like being a spirit of man? I saw one the other day, had a hat."
[Mon Jun 21 02:42:11 2021] Charon >> *Charon moves slowly and carefully, though he watches Napster with amusement.*
[Mon Jun 21 02:42:46 2021] Mad Dog/Code Silver >> *MD considers standing next to Nine for Oneiro, but instead remains where she is, keeping watch over Charon.*
[Mon Jun 21 02:44:44 2021] KND >> *Candy presses a hand against Muse's ethereal shoulder, pushing off of her with a laugh and then shifting erratically around. Movement at the speed of thought, really, substantially different than the earlier way he'd been trying to 'swim' in the astral. And yet it's not entirely different. He is certainly radiating joy himself, as he twirls up towards Mercurial's astral form.*
[Mon Jun 21 02:45:28 2021] flybypie >> "Oh wow, sick! You look really spidery, Gloom!"
[Mon Jun 21 02:46:02 2021] Elle_Mayo >> Muse grins at Candy enjoying himself and then at Mercurial, the joy palpable to her at least.
[Mon Jun 21 02:47:22 2021] Firbolg >> "This is........this is incredible"
[Mon Jun 21 02:47:43 2021] Firbolg >> *Firbolg starts to move a bit faster, a bit more brazen compared to earlier*
[Mon Jun 21 02:47:45 2021] Charon >> *Charon looks for the bird. That's his point of reference. That'll look after him.*
[Mon Jun 21 02:48:46 2021] flybypie >> "Looking good, old man!" *Napster laughs as he flies by Firbolg.*
[Mon Jun 21 02:49:53 2021] Firbolg >> *Firbolg chuckles at Naps comment and flies over towards Charon*

"You doing alright mate?"
[Mon Jun 21 02:50:00 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> *Hexi's pink bird stays close to Charon, it projects a strong feeling of joy and happyness, easier felt now than before*
[Mon Jun 21 02:51:07 2021] Purple >> *Purple reappears, looking around.*
[Mon Jun 21 02:51:14 2021] KND >> *Candy has lost much of his familiar gymnastic coordination - the astral isn't TOTALLY unfamiliar, but it's a bit like going from riding a bicycle to driving a manual transmission car. Still, he spins around easily enough, feeling quite comfortable with familiar faces and wonderful vibrations.*
[Mon Jun 21 02:51:16 2021] flybypie >> *Noticing the "spirit of man" still lingering around, Napster flies over to it.*
"Hey, this is kind of a private party."
[Mon Jun 21 02:51:18 2021] Purple >> "Huh."
[Mon Jun 21 02:51:39 2021] KND >> *He tests one thing - seeing if he can grab on to Gloom's wrist!*
[Mon Jun 21 02:51:46 2021] Thermite >> *Thermite chortles at Napster's form appearing next to the spirit.*
[Mon Jun 21 02:52:37 2021] Charon >> ((Several people are on Shade right now.))
[Mon Jun 21 02:52:40 2021] Elle_Mayo >> An astral wink at Gloom and Muse begins to dance as well, whirling and twirling through the aether.
[Mon Jun 21 02:52:59 2021] Charon >> "Gloom, speed of thought, right?"
[Mon Jun 21 02:53:04 2021] Purple >> ((I know))
[Mon Jun 21 02:53:13 2021] Charon >> ((Just trying to help))
[Mon Jun 21 02:53:25 2021] flybypie >> ((how dare you))
[Mon Jun 21 02:53:27 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> *the spirit hold up its arms and in a break and fragile voice* "I'm here to help? If you move to far I help back"
[Mon Jun 21 02:54:05 2021] flybypie >> ((wait, what do i roll to see thru this illusion?))
[Mon Jun 21 02:54:27 2021] Purple >> *Seeing bodies but nobody in the flesh, Purple slinks away.*
[Mon Jun 21 02:54:28 2021] Firbolg >> *Firbolg nods and turns back flying around, getting a hand on maneuverability here and flies over to Napster and the spirit*

"Hey Nap, wow, is this a spirit, we're actually seeing spirits in the astral, this is wild"
[Mon Jun 21 02:54:43 2021] flybypie >> ((dammit))
[Mon Jun 21 02:55:05 2021] flybypie >> "Yeah Fir, this here spirit doesn't get the idea of privacy."
[Mon Jun 21 02:55:16 2021] Charon >> "All good, just checking.."

*He goes over to Napster, and pokes him. Or tries to. I dunno how the Astral goes about that.*
[Mon Jun 21 02:55:44 2021] Firbolg >> "Wow, so, you're a spirit right? Do you have a name? Spirits have names right?"
[Mon Jun 21 02:55:44 2021] flybypie >> "Hey Charon. Wow you look boring."
[Mon Jun 21 02:56:15 2021] Purple >> *Purple almost jumps in the air and draws his knives, adopting a combat stance immediately.* "What the fuck !?"
[Mon Jun 21 02:56:25 2021] Charon >> *Charon frowns.*
"What do I look like? I looked down before and I just looked like me."
[Mon Jun 21 02:57:02 2021] flybypie >> "Yeah you look like regular you. Don't get me wrong, you're fine looking. But in the astral? Just plain vanilla."
[Mon Jun 21 02:57:04 2021] Thermite >> "He's just saying you don't got imagination, it's fine."
[Mon Jun 21 02:57:35 2021] Charon >> "Hey, Gloom! How come everyone else is funky looking and I ain't?"
[Mon Jun 21 02:57:56 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> *she projects a feeling of serenity and peace as the only answer about name*
[Mon Jun 21 02:58:16 2021] Purple >> *He lets out a deep breath.* "Don't scare me like that, amour. You ever see a field of bodies you know it's spooky as fuck. I've seen bad shit."
[Mon Jun 21 02:59:08 2021] Charon >> "Huh."
[Mon Jun 21 02:59:36 2021] Thermite >> "Try... Emoting out something?"
[Mon Jun 21 03:00:28 2021] Thermite >> *Thermite taps on his head with a heavy metallic sound*. "Hey Caz."
[Mon Jun 21 03:00:40 2021] flybypie >> *Napster wraps an arm around Firbolg and stares at the spirit.* "So, either of you ever had sex in the astral?"
[Mon Jun 21 03:00:52 2021] Charon >> *He cackles.*
[Mon Jun 21 03:01:05 2021] Charon >> *Rib hurting laughter.*
[Mon Jun 21 03:02:10 2021] flybypie >> *Napster looks really sad at Firbolg's leaving.*
[Mon Jun 21 03:02:23 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> *The spirit is suddenly gone and reapess near Firbolg* "calm"
[Mon Jun 21 03:02:29 2021] flybypie >> "Even with me looking this fine he isn't interested?"
[Mon Jun 21 03:02:58 2021] Elle_Mayo >> Muse also chases after Firbolg, wherever he might be going, seeing as the questionably trustworthy spirit was the only one that followed him so far.
[Mon Jun 21 03:03:13 2021] Purple >> *The elf takes deep breathes, in and out through the nose, gusts of pressurized air from his internal air tank blowing dust.* "It's alright - I just - tend to start quick at surprise. Whew." *He slinks his hair back.*
[Mon Jun 21 03:03:40 2021] Thermite >> "Steady, mate!", *Thermite turns around as his fist begins to glow with a dull orange glow as the spirit approaches Firbolg.*
[Mon Jun 21 03:04:26 2021] flybypie >> *Napster is going to leave the group and go dunk his astral body in the river to swim with the fishies.*
[Mon Jun 21 03:04:44 2021] Charon >> *Charon drifts over to SciBit.*
"Hey. You done this before?"
[Mon Jun 21 03:05:27 2021] Purple >> "Aight, I guess I'll go hang out with surly cowboy."
[Mon Jun 21 03:06:04 2021] Purple >> "What the fuck is going on !?"
[Mon Jun 21 03:06:25 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> "listen to me, focus" *she Spirit just hovers close to Firbolg* "it's all about focus"
[Mon Jun 21 03:06:49 2021] Purple >> *Purple dashes straight after them, looking around panicked.*
[Mon Jun 21 03:06:52 2021] flybypie >> *Napster manifests to make faces at the fishes in the river, laughing as they scatter and swim away from him.*
[Mon Jun 21 03:07:15 2021] KND >> *Candy drifts back against Gloom, and then paws at Cordelia as well.* "You and Merc are a good team, nya. Even if you both are worry way too much sometimes, nya*
[Mon Jun 21 03:07:18 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> ((yes I think so))
[Mon Jun 21 03:07:27 2021] flybypie >> ((pretty sure any astral form can, even spirits))
[Mon Jun 21 03:08:00 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> ((only some spirits))
[Mon Jun 21 03:08:18 2021] Thermite >> ((You'll all be sorry when I start summoning F12 watchers.))
[Mon Jun 21 03:08:33 2021] Purple >> *He stops dead in his track, his face still plastered with concern.*
[Mon Jun 21 03:08:37 2021] flybypie >> ((doesnt even take a skill check))
[Mon Jun 21 03:08:48 2021] Thermite >> ((It's Napster, he don't give a fuck.))
[Mon Jun 21 03:09:00 2021] Firbolg >> *What is breathing? What is breath? If breathing was purely physical why is it happening here? What if breath is in fact a bridge between the physical and the spiritual? This goes on for a little while until Firbolg snaps out of it*
[Mon Jun 21 03:09:31 2021] Thermite >> "Bolgo, are you thinking again? Bad idea, mate."
[Mon Jun 21 03:10:40 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> *the spirit hold out a hand to Firbolg* "get you down to group yes?"
[Mon Jun 21 03:10:52 2021] Thermite >> "Fuck yeah, you are, mate, you're handing it fine."
[Mon Jun 21 03:11:36 2021] Firbolg >> *Firbolg nods, taking the spirits hand to get back to the others*
[Mon Jun 21 03:11:44 2021] Elle_Mayo >> pk;edit Muse watches not!Hexi very, very closely for any signs of funny business. (mostly the use of a spirit power)
[Mon Jun 21 03:11:59 2021] Charon >> *Charon drifts over towards Muse.*
"Hey, so, who are you?"
[Mon Jun 21 03:12:14 2021] Purple >> *The elf slinks back to his tent, holding himself on furniture on the way.*
[Mon Jun 21 03:13:17 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> *the spirit is slowly pulling him down to the camp, moving very slow and calmly*
[Mon Jun 21 03:13:43 2021] Charon >> ((Is okay, he's poking Muse now. Metaphorically.))
[Mon Jun 21 03:13:50 2021] Purple >> *He waves the spirit off, a muscular spasm distorting the corner of his mouth.* "I'll - 'll be fine - ***huff***."
[Mon Jun 21 03:14:00 2021] Elle_Mayo >> *She presumably follows Firbolg back to the group and then meets with Charon.* "Oh? I'm Muse, I figured we'd have time for introductions when you were done."
[Mon Jun 21 03:14:01 2021] flybypie >> "Oh hi Merc. You should have seen the fishies! And I'm fiiiiine." *He pouts but will follow her.*
[Mon Jun 21 03:14:16 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> "slowly, just focus on anchors"
[Mon Jun 21 03:15:33 2021] Firbolg >> *Firbolg nods following the instructions*

"This is all very strange"
[Mon Jun 21 03:15:45 2021] KND >> *Candy, meanwhile, has started experimenting with the fire. Can they approach it? Will it burn them?*
[Mon Jun 21 03:15:47 2021] Charon >> "Oh! Hey! Didn't know you were here." *He chuckles* "Well this is going down as the strangest way I've introduced myself to someone. I guess I'll leave you alone for now then?"
[Mon Jun 21 03:16:16 2021] Charon >> *He turns to Sci.* "Is it different after the first time?"
[Mon Jun 21 03:16:49 2021] flybypie >> *Napster dutifully follows Merc back to the others. He waves at them as he approaches.*
[Mon Jun 21 03:17:17 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> "yes very much the first time, she lets go of the hand when she reaches the camp*
[Mon Jun 21 03:17:47 2021] Elle_Mayo >> "I mean, it's all the same to me. I just figured you'd want to fly around and see the world like you've never seen it before."
[Mon Jun 21 03:18:06 2021] flybypie >> "Wait, Merc! Since you're already babysitting me, mind if we took a little trip? I wanna see the edge of the gaiasphere!"
[Mon Jun 21 03:18:24 2021] Thermite >> ((Legend.))
[Mon Jun 21 03:18:58 2021] Firbolg >> *firbolg nods*

"It's wonderful, incredible, terrible in some ways I imagine? It's a lot to take in"
[Mon Jun 21 03:19:06 2021] Elle_Mayo >> "If you want to see the edge of the gaiasphere, just look down." The earth itself glows with the aura of a living being, prominently visible in this natural setting.
[Mon Jun 21 03:19:19 2021] flybypie >> "Fine. It's your party, I will do as you say."
[Mon Jun 21 03:19:36 2021] flybypie >> "Not that edge! The edge waaaaay up above."
[Mon Jun 21 03:19:51 2021] Charon >> "I'm trying to be careful. Hexi would kill me if I did something dangerous."
[Mon Jun 21 03:20:38 2021] flybypie >> "What? You mean there's no actual visible edge up there to see?"
[Mon Jun 21 03:20:59 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> *the spirit will hover slightly away again just watching* 

*Imiri has stayed within touching distance of Charon all the time*
[Mon Jun 21 03:21:03 2021] Thermite >> *Moving back towards his body, Thermite slips back into his mortal form. Still keeping an eye on the astral above him, he takes a look around the passed out bodies, before seeing a bottle of Aqua Vitae. He pours himself a drink, then hovers gently in the air.*
[Mon Jun 21 03:21:51 2021] Elle_Mayo >> "Oh, that thing? It's a spirit, it's been helping. It seems harmless but you never know. Sometimes they expect something in return for their services." She turns her attention to the spirit, her tone getting a bit harsher. "That's not the case with you, is it?"
[Mon Jun 21 03:21:54 2021] Thermite >> ((Thermite doesn't like projecting enough, he can't engage in his vices.))
[Mon Jun 21 03:22:22 2021] Charon >> *Charon very much gives off the impression of someone treading water in the deep ocean, trying to stay close to a life raft. If that makes sense.*
[Mon Jun 21 03:24:05 2021] KND >> "Aw but-"
[Mon Jun 21 03:24:14 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> "just helping the new ones"
*The spirit hovers closer to Charon*
[Mon Jun 21 03:24:41 2021] Charon >> *Charon follows the instructions, a little disappointed.* "Hexi said I'd be safe for a couple hours. But this is fair, I suppose."
[Mon Jun 21 03:24:56 2021] Thermite >> *Glancing back up at the spirit of Man, Thermite raises his glass.* "You're one of the good ones, mate."
[Mon Jun 21 03:26:19 2021] Charon >> *Charon glances to Imiri when the spirit reaches out a hand.*
[Mon Jun 21 03:26:52 2021] KND >> *Candy lingers above his body, still forced out by the awakened drug, and stares into the sky. He can't shut his eyes, exactly - nothing really shuts or stops. It just... is.*
[Mon Jun 21 03:27:05 2021] Thermite >> *A hand outstretches a glass of moonshine towards Firbolg.*
[Mon Jun 21 03:27:46 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> *it only touche the hand for a moment then withdraws* "return to your body" *and it's gone*
[Mon Jun 21 03:27:57 2021] Nine >> "Yes, Gloom. Everyone safe?"
[Mon Jun 21 03:28:31 2021] flybypie >> *Napster does some stretches to get the feeling back in his limbs.*
[Mon Jun 21 03:28:52 2021] Elle_Mayo >> Muse watches the spirit's contact very, *very* closely. "She's right, you should be good for another hour or two if you wanted to do a little adventuring..."
[Mon Jun 21 03:29:01 2021] flybypie >> N>*Napster does some stretches to get the feeling back in his limbs.*
[Mon Jun 21 03:29:24 2021] Nine >> "I'm ready. What do I need to know going in?"
[Mon Jun 21 03:29:25 2021] KND >> "Easy to say for people who can come back anytime, nya..."
[Mon Jun 21 03:29:31 2021] Firbolg >> *firbolg, back in his body looks about and shakes his head*
[Mon Jun 21 03:30:05 2021] Charon >> "Nah. I should go back to my body. That way the mages can take a load off."
[Mon Jun 21 03:30:15 2021] KND >> *KND materializes next to his body, extremely reluctant to let the trip end. He's folding his legs, trying to imitate his meatsuit.*
[Mon Jun 21 03:30:16 2021] Charon >> *Charon heads back into his body.*
[Mon Jun 21 03:30:43 2021] Elle_Mayo >> "Your spirit's still -- oh, fine." She sighs and pops back into her own body as well.
[Mon Jun 21 03:30:52 2021] flybypie >> "Its not even guaranteed to work, Sci."
[Mon Jun 21 03:32:48 2021] Charon >> "Is this stuff incompatible with the Shade?"
[Mon Jun 21 03:32:52 2021] Elle_Mayo >> ((semicolon i think))
[Mon Jun 21 03:33:48 2021] Nine >> "I understand. I appreciate you helping with this. I'm ready."
[Mon Jun 21 03:34:12 2021] Firbolg >> *firbolg will wander back to his tent*
[Mon Jun 21 03:34:29 2021] Charon >> "Or is the Shade properly done now?"
[Mon Jun 21 03:35:21 2021] Elle_Mayo >> "You're still on it - in fact you could probably still project if you could figure out how. But it's like flexing a muscle you don't know you have."
[Mon Jun 21 03:36:09 2021] Mad Dog/Code Silver >> *Mad Dog goes over to Charon and puts out a hand to help him to his feet.* "Had fun chummer?"
[Mon Jun 21 03:36:25 2021] Charon >> "I'd like to try it, if I can?"

*He is helped up by Mad Dog.*
[Mon Jun 21 03:36:55 2021] Charon >> *He grins at MD*
"It was fucking grouse, mate. Thanks for keeping an eye on me."
[Mon Jun 21 03:37:20 2021] flybypie >> *Napster will approach. Even a small chance at seeing the future is helpful.*
[Mon Jun 21 03:37:32 2021] Mad Dog/Code Silver >> "Null sheen." *She claps him on the shoulder and goes over towards the fire where they're about to do the dreamsage.*
[Mon Jun 21 03:37:55 2021] Charon >> *Charon takes his earlier seat by the fire.*
[Mon Jun 21 03:39:26 2021] Mad Dog/Code Silver >> "You know what, fuck it. I'll give it a shot."
[Mon Jun 21 03:39:34 2021] Elle_Mayo >> "Good luck!" Muse calls out after Mercurial as they go.
[Mon Jun 21 03:39:39 2021] Thermite >> *Thermite suddenly stands up from his reclined position mid-air, and shakes his head.* "I've got to head, mates, Got a meeting with my maker."
[Mon Jun 21 03:40:19 2021] Mad Dog/Code Silver >> "Oh. All the magic folk wandering off to have magic conference meetings. Huh"
[Mon Jun 21 03:41:24 2021] flybypie >> *Napster hops from foot to foot, impatient to see his future.*
[Mon Jun 21 03:43:22 2021] Elle_Mayo >> "The solstice has a time, too, and that time is right now, give or take a half hour."
[Mon Jun 21 03:44:24 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> *the "spirit of man" suddenly disappear*
[Mon Jun 21 03:44:46 2021] Mad Dog/Code Silver >> *Mad Dog waits for the smoke to change color, then leans in and breathes deep as instructed, closing her eyes.*
[Mon Jun 21 03:45:57 2021] Nine >> *Nine breathes the blue smoke deeply, completely offline and unplugged.*
[Mon Jun 21 03:49:51 2021] Charon >> *Charon also breathes in.*
[Mon Jun 21 03:58:08 2021] Charon >> *Charon sits up, frowning.*
[Mon Jun 21 03:58:47 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> *Akane sits up looking panicked*
[Mon Jun 21 03:59:35 2021] Flatline >> *Flat ambles over to the bonfire and takes a look around* "Hows the night been proceeding folks?"
[Mon Jun 21 04:00:31 2021] Mad Dog/Code Silver >> *Mad Dog's eyes flutter open after a dozen minutes or so, she looks down at the ground, her face slack, her mind spinning.*
[Mon Jun 21 04:01:16 2021] Flatline >> "Sure, hit me"
[Mon Jun 21 04:01:48 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> *Akane gets to her feet* "I need to go" *her accent is completely gone and there is a look of a deer cought in headlights on her face*
[Mon Jun 21 04:02:37 2021] Flatline >> *Flat wipes his nose before leaning forward and breathing deep*
[Mon Jun 21 04:03:01 2021] Charon >> *Charon is still out of it.*
[Mon Jun 21 04:03:51 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> *she runs as fast as she can to the food tent picks up her bag and runs away. Quickly getting on her bike and speeding out of there*
[Mon Jun 21 04:04:39 2021] flybypie >> *Napster opens his eyes with a huge cocky grin on his face and looks around at the people around him. The spirit said he can't go wrong...*
[Mon Jun 21 04:06:20 2021] Nine >> *The Dreamsage hit Nine's bloodstream like fire to a dry prairie, causing him to seize up. 14 mins later, he gasps sharply coming back to sorts, slowly regaining control of his body, visibly a bit shaken.*
[Mon Jun 21 04:07:42 2021] Mad Dog/Code Silver >> *Mad Dog continues to sit, still, hands trembling slightly, her face still slack.*
[Mon Jun 21 04:08:42 2021] Nine >> *Nine attempts to get to his feet, before realizing he shouldn't yet and laying belly down, head hung in his arms against the ground*
[Mon Jun 21 04:08:45 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> ||10 stun right?||
[Mon Jun 21 04:10:23 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> ((*good*))
[Mon Jun 21 04:11:15 2021] Flatline >> *Flat stumbles back from the smoke and onto the ground*
[Mon Jun 21 04:13:12 2021] Nine >> *Nine's back rises and falls with each heavy breath, but he maintains his composure amongst a torrent of emotions*
[Mon Jun 21 04:13:22 2021] Charon >> ((I think it's been long enough.))

*Charon suddenly takes a deep breath in, shakes his head to clear it. He leans back and rubs his temples.*
[Mon Jun 21 04:13:35 2021] Charon >> "Fuck."
[Mon Jun 21 04:14:36 2021] Charon >> *He gets up and stalks over to the food table to grab water, quickly returning, but not sitting down.*
[Mon Jun 21 04:15:32 2021] Mad Dog/Code Silver >> *Mad Dog props herself up in her arms and shakily begins to stand.*
[Mon Jun 21 04:15:39 2021] Switch >> "Should have seen that coming." *Switch nods, seriously.*
[Mon Jun 21 04:15:58 2021] Switch >> "Hello Gloom. Good to see you again."
[Mon Jun 21 04:16:11 2021] flybypie >> "You saw this coming? Bc hou saw the future too?"
[Mon Jun 21 04:17:03 2021] Switch >> "No, Napster, I've been in this place before. Call it, uh, Deja vu."
[Mon Jun 21 04:17:24 2021] Nine >> *With a long exhale, Nine starts to get up, red, painful eyes betraying his otherwise calm demeanor*
[Mon Jun 21 04:18:25 2021] Mad Dog/Code Silver >> *MD listens to Gloom, nods slowly, and says,* "I'mma... Go vom. And s-see if... If my vom't voms." *And she starts to wander in the vague direction of the river.*
[Mon Jun 21 04:19:40 2021] KND >> *KND is still totally out of it, unable to parse the real meanings of any of his visions, and unable to move. Very tempted to project back out, though.*
[Mon Jun 21 04:20:23 2021] Flatline >> *Flat stares into the night sky and wonders why he bothers to ask questions. Particularly why he bothers asking questions to magical drugs*
[Mon Jun 21 04:20:37 2021] flybypie >> *Napster glances after Mad Dog. First PT pees in it, now MD is gonna vomit in it. Never getting in that river again.*
[Mon Jun 21 04:25:43 2021] Nine >> "I'm going to excuse myself. Gloom, thank you for leading us.." *he trails off, bending over a bit before steadying himself, starting to walk towards the river slowly and measuredly*
[Mon Jun 21 04:26:11 2021] Elle_Mayo >> Muse wobbles a bit and then sits back down, a puzzled and almost angry look on her face, absorbed in her own experience.
[Mon Jun 21 04:28:02 2021] flybypie >> *Napster will lean back and pose seductively on the ground.*
[Mon Jun 21 04:31:00 2021] KND >> *Candy just sort of curls up  for a bit as the drug starts to wear off, and stumbles in a weave towards the nearest familiar face. Not Napster. He's not THAT fucked up.*
[Mon Jun 21 04:33:05 2021] Switch >> "Yeah, guess I missed all the fun."
[Mon Jun 21 04:33:41 2021] flybypie >> *Noticing that most everyone else isn't in a good mood right now, Napster decides this isn't the right place and leaves.*
[Mon Jun 21 04:38:27 2021] Flatline >> *Looking around for someone manaing themself better than him and to the horror scene figure crumpled on the ground* "They alright?"
[Mon Jun 21 04:40:15 2021] Flatline >> "Nobody?"
[Mon Jun 21 04:40:28 2021] Switch >> *Switch shrugs.*
[Mon Jun 21 04:40:29 2021] KND >> *Candy crawls on all fours towards the masked crumpleperson. He's got the nauseous sweats, and has decided that he's not a big fan of Dreamsage.*
[Mon Jun 21 04:41:53 2021] Flatline >> "Right slack"
[Mon Jun 21 04:42:04 2021] Flatline >> *He slides back down to the ground*
[Mon Jun 21 04:42:16 2021] Switch >> *Switch wraps Sci up.* "You're fine. Here with me. All good."
[Mon Jun 21 04:42:56 2021] Flatline >> "I think I have a bad habit of sleeping with therapists so lets stick with counselor"
[Mon Jun 21 04:43:10 2021] Flatline >> *he takes a swig of his whiskey*
[Mon Jun 21 04:43:45 2021] KND >> *Candy turns and whines at Gloom.* "I didn't have any epiphanies, nya. Just a bunch of confusing stuff that felt like it came out of a bad trid with a worse simsense track.*
[Mon Jun 21 04:44:22 2021] Flatline >> "Nothing surprising really darlin. Would have been nice if it had been"
[Mon Jun 21 04:44:41 2021] Flatline >> "Thats..thats not true, surprises are rarely good"
[Mon Jun 21 04:44:57 2021] Flatline >> "But whats expected is rarely good either"
[Mon Jun 21 04:45:10 2021] Switch >> *Switch gives Sci a kiss on the cheek.* "I got you."
[Mon Jun 21 04:46:09 2021] Flatline >> *He takes another swig* "We got any more vitae? This isn't quite doing it"
[Mon Jun 21 04:48:03 2021] Laura (Akane/Hexi) >> ||so yes plenty left, the tastes can be found somewhere||
