Snow Singer Aisutori and the Clear Skies versus Lightning Demon KAWAZAM

[Dracos]

Apr 12 19:46:49 <Kotono>   With a new member in tow, the newly minted foursome head along to see Kawazam! It's at the city auditorium, a big, concrete building with several walkways leading up to the ticket windows and entrances. It's quite busy already, people going to the box office or heading inside. Many teenagers, as well as older types. OOC: Goa head and act/intro yourselves.
Apr 12 19:48:22 *   Noriko files along in orderly fashion, not exactly prone to youthful excitement about such things.
Apr 12 19:49:13 *   Jin_ eyes his surroundings with distaste, not really digging the concert scene.
Apr 12 19:49:59 *   Enro eyes the lines..
Apr 12 19:50:15 <Enro>   "So what's the plan here? I don't have a ticket."
Apr 12 19:50:45 *   Aisutori has somehow found a far more flamboyant outfit than she normally wears for school, standing out a bit clearly as she tugged Noriko-chan along, "It's pretty amazing to get to perform out here...  don't worry there's always some last minute scalpers."  She looked around for one.
Apr 12 19:51:26 <Noriko>   "The plan is to enjoy the show, Enro," Noriko explains.
Apr 12 19:52:11 <Aisutori>   "A nice normal night, it's been way too hectic so it'll be fun to let off some steam!"
Apr 12 19:52:27 *   Enro raises an eyebrow at Aisutori.
Apr 12 19:52:41 <Enro>   "I'd ask what you mean, but the story would probably ruin the good mood."
Apr 12 19:53:10 <Kotono>   Oh, there's a few people about here and there. From the way they move about, they very well could be scalpers.
Apr 12 19:54:48 *   Noriko observes the crowd for anyone furtively selling overpriced tickets!
Apr 12 19:58:20 <Kotono>   Indeed, Noriko can see the same few people going about.
Apr 12 19:58:55 *   Aisutori heads over to one, waving them down. "Hey, do you have another ticket for the left fore?"
Apr 12 20:00:54 <Kotono>   The man is tall and smiles brightly to Aisutori, "I do, young lady. For the fair price of 15,000 yen!"
Apr 12 20:03:29 <Aisutori>   "Well, alright," She handed over the rather high fee, taking the ticket.  "Here, now you can come in with us," She handed it over to Enro, leading toward the ticket takers without batting an eye.  It just wouldn't be right to not bring their new friend along.
Apr 12 20:03:58 *   Enro raises an eyebrow at the ticket and slowly follows after her.
Apr 12 20:04:20 <Enro>   "You know, I could have paid for it.. But thanks for it. I appreciate it."
Apr 12 20:08:10 <Aisutori>   "Well, it's an apology for weirding you out.  It has been pretty crazy lately, but it really wasn't that much.  Come on," She handed over a ticket to get in.
Apr 12 20:08:43 *   Enro watches Aisutori, consideringly.
Apr 12 20:08:51 *   Enro sighs.
Apr 12 20:09:48 <Enro>   "Well, I suppose if you're going to be mature enough to apologize, I should too. I reacted.. Worse than I could have, I suppose. My attitude was rather uninviting, and I apologize for it."
Apr 12 20:10:23 <Kotono>   The party heads inside! It's already mostly full, the group having to push to get in! It takes some effort, seats at last gotten. The four sit together, the stage currently empty. A buzz of conversation fills the air, anticipation running all about.
Apr 12 20:11:21 *   Aisutori smiles, quite the pretty and friendly sight as she smiled and shook patted Enro's shoulder. "I'm sure we'll be good friends after a bit, come on you two!" She weaved through the busy crowd with the push of someone who was pretty used to this kind of scene, seeming more energetic as they got closer in.
Apr 12 20:14:18 *   Enro looks around at the sights, this being the first concert he's gone to, and lets the sounds and atmosphere wash over him.
Apr 12 20:14:25 *   Ghost_Andrea is now known as Merc
Apr 12 20:18:24 <Kotono>   There are lots of people about. Most are dressed nicely or festively, chatting with friends and waiting. You can catch more than a few people sipping from smuggled flasks, a general air of partying about. As everyone waits...the lights dim somewhat.
Apr 12 20:19:02 <Noriko>   "This is where excitement ensues?" Noriko guesses.
Apr 12 20:20:08 <Aisutori>   "Noriko-chan!" Aisutori sounded scandalized.  "Haven't you ever been to one of my shows before?" She gave a slight cute pout.
Apr 12 20:20:32 <Aisutori>   "It's to give folks a chance to prepare, quiet down, and expect the cool idol to come on stage."
Apr 12 20:22:45 <Noriko>   "I presumed that there were procedural differences between amateur and professional performances," Noriko explains. "It would seem this is incorrect?"
Apr 12 20:23:10 <Kotono>   Quiet takes over the entire place as the lights dim! The stage curtains pull back, a big flat screen TV  in position. It's huge, big enough to be seen clearly! It's black at the moment, but it comes to life! As it does...OOC: Everyone make soul checks? Noriko, you get a +2 bonus.

Apr 12 20:24:36 <Aisutori>   "Level of spectacle!  It's taken to a much higher level!  Like see I could NEVER afford to put on a tv like that for an opener," She pointed.  "And having a professional lighting crew makes a big difference!"

Apr 12 20:25:36 <Kotono>   OOC: Enro's roll came through first over here so I'm taking that one.
Apr 12 20:26:55 <Kotono>   The movie starts to play! Noriko and Enro seem enthralled! Indeed, it looks to be a video of...wreckage? Ruin? You can see the shattered city of the tsunami. You can see the empty houses, the lost places, the utter ruin. Yet Jin and Aisutori notes it doesn't seem to bother anyone else at all - inf act, they're watching spellbound!
Apr 12 20:29:08 <Aisutori>   "HUh...what's going on.  Noriko-chan, is someone hacking the show to ruin it?" She blinked and poked her...than shook her, "Noriko-chan?  Hey, come on pay attention to me!"  She sounded really disappointed that the show wasn't starting.
Apr 12 20:29:54 *   Noriko wobbles a little as she's prodded.

Apr 12 20:34:58 <Kotono>   Noriko doesn't stir -s he seems engrossed! Meanwhile the images turn yet more violent - you see people drowning, horrible images of bloated bodies floating in flooded cities! Gasps arise from everyone, but yet people are spellbound yet! Spellbound with looks of shock and fear!
Apr 12 20:36:01 <Aisutori>   "Jin..Noriko...Enro?"  Aisutori pokes each of her friends, annoyed and rather confused at how none of them are speaking up.  She frowned, there's no way this could be the show...this must be some kind of trick.
Apr 12 20:36:34 <Kotono>   OOC: Both of you get soul checks again. Noriko, your -2 mod stays in effect

Apr 12 20:37:05 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Noriko rolls 2d6-2 vs 3 betting I get the same roll again! and gets 3." [2d6=2, 3]
Apr 12 20:41:37 <Kotono>   With shaking and momentum, Enro and Noriko retunr to their senses! From an enthralled spell to moments of horror, staring at the horrible scenes on the TV!
Apr 12 20:41:58 *   Enro shakes his head and rubs his temples.
Apr 12 20:42:05 <Enro>   "Wh.. What the hell was that?"
Apr 12 20:42:21 *   Noriko frowns, looking at the screen anew. "Aisutori. I am not detecting significant entertainment value in this display."
Apr 12 20:43:11 *   Enro spares one eye to stare at Noriko and her.. odd.. wording..
Apr 12 20:44:03 <Aisutori>   "...It's terrifying.  What's the big idea.  Can you see if someone is hacking it?  I wonder if this is some kind of illusion or spell, you two seemed really out of it!"
Apr 12 20:44:11 <Kotono>   "What's going on?!" Jin sputters.
Apr 12 20:47:16 <Noriko>   "I am uncertain," Noriko says. "Could this display be hacked from afar? It seems unlikely. The party responsible is likely working from the auditorium itself. Shall we find the control room?"
Apr 12 20:48:22 <Aisutori>   "Lets...if we hurry, maybe we can save the show," Aisutori's innocent belief in showmanship showed as she rushed through the dazed crowd, heading toward the sides of the stage.  She'd been here for quite a number of shows before, so she knew how to get to the back.
Apr 12 20:48:45 <Kotono>   The images continue to flow on the TV, moving fast and faster! As Aisutori rushes ahead little immediately happens, no one moving to oppose her!
Apr 12 20:48:58 *   Noriko follows alongside Ai.
Apr 12 20:49:17 *   Enro follows behind nervously. Things like this are why he didn't want to be involved. Nice, regular, sedate life.. Where did you go?
Apr 12 20:51:35 <Kotono>   Jin takes up the rear, tagging along as well! OOC: Go ahead and act, Aisutori. What'cha gonna do?
Apr 12 20:52:50 <Aisutori>   "Weird, there should be stage guards here to keep people from the back stage," She wandered in, going over and checking the nearby rooms for a control room.  It had to be close to keep an eye on the stage, but while she had been back here, she hadn't run a show here herself.
Apr 12 20:54:05 <Kotono>   Going to the back, you find things empty - not a soul in sight! The doors all look to be locked, too...and as you look, you can hear a chorus of screams from the audience!
Apr 12 20:54:44 *   Enro looks back and edges up to the corner, glancing around the corner to see what's happening to the audience.
Apr 12 20:55:23 *   Aisutori frowns, "This is enough of this," She stepped out onto the side of the stage, sending a spear of ice into the TV from behind the curtains.
Apr 12 20:55:36 *   Enro groans.
Apr 12 20:58:40 <Kotono>   Coming back out, Aisutori spears the TV...yet that isn't the problem! Great bands of electricity crackle through the crowd now, screams of utter pain and sobbing pleas echoing all about! Standing on the stage is a tall, dapper man with black hair and a big grin that oozes an easy, bestial contempt. He wears a fine black suit and a red scarf, his eyes turning to the icicle throwing girl and the others!
Apr 12 21:03:12 <Noriko>   "Your show is in violation of common decency standards for public performance," Noriko announces across the auditorium. "It will now be terminated."
Apr 12 21:03:48 *   Aisutori glares, looking quite angry now.  "Are you Kawazam?  Do you call THIS a show?  In the name of hopeful idols everywhere, we'll have to punish you!"  Snow gathered around her as she strode onto the stage with Noriko.
Apr 12 21:06:33 <Kotono>   With that big smile he turns to them, "Clear Skies, isn't it?"
Apr 12 21:07:13 <Aisutori>   "That's right...  Are you one of the lame voices of Leviathan?" She crossed her arms.
Apr 12 21:09:08 <Kotono>   "What if I am, little girl?" His hands are in his pockets as he looks your way.
Apr 12 21:13:21 <Aisutori>   "Well, we're going to deal with you, and make you regret doing all of this!"  She pointed to the crowd.  "You're an embarrassment.  Using your magic to trick their minds and attack them when they came here trusting your song?" She glared up at him.  "And don't think we'll forgive you easily."
Apr 12 21:14:42 *   Aisutori turns to the crowd, "Wake up!  Don't listen to his spell anymore!"  She called out quite loudly for such a little lady.
Apr 12 21:15:20 <Kotono>   OOC: Make a singing check?
Apr 12 21:15:38 *   Enro looks around and finds a microphone.. tests it and makes sure it works before teleporting it at eye level in front of Aisutori.
Apr 12 21:16:16 <Aisutori>   roll 2d6 vs 7
Apr 12 21:16:17 <Hatbot>

Apr 12 21:19:20 <Kotono>   With microphone and voice, Aisutori challenges the man's control...yet the crowd is not swayed! He laughs and laughs, "Is that it, girl? That wasn't even a peformance, let alone anything decent!"
Apr 12 21:22:05 *   Enro steps out from behind the corner.
Apr 12 21:24:05 *   Aisutori blinks, grabbing the microphone, "Don't be confused or afraid!  Clear skies is going to put you in your place, Kawazam," She taps her foot.  "You want to challenge my song?  Alright, I'll freeze you solid!  Your storm won't keep up!"  She half closed her eyes,  o/~ Don't be down, it's only happening like a stormy night, Don't be down, it's only failure as a missing way," She twirled about, ice sparkling over the crowd, reflecting the lights in surprising ways as it flowed out in a chilly mist from her body as she gave a twirl, moving forward on the stage.  o/~Don't escape, it's just a race for the freedom, Don't escape, it's just a game of really survival o/~ She grinned, jabbing a finger at the crowd, o/~ Hey, Hey Never give up!  Everybody wake up, Life is like a battle, you've got to never ever give up!  Everybody face up, listen to the voice in your soul, gaze up to the clear skies! o/~

Apr 12 21:28:39 <Aisutori>   "Noriko-chan, Enro-san, back me up~!"  Aisutori twirled with the microphone, glaring back at Kawazam as she swayed on her feet.  Clearly not intimidated by trying to sing to a crowd of this size.
Apr 12 21:29:26 <Noriko>   "I am unfamiliar with this song, Aisutori," Noriko says. "Although I am capable of punching his nose through the back of his head if it will assist in any way."
Apr 12 21:31:08 *   Enro walks out and up next to Aisutori with a bass slung against one shoulder and a guitar in his other hand.
Apr 12 21:31:27 <Enro>   "Remember what I said about not wanting attention? You owe me. *Owe me.*"
Apr 12 21:31:45 *   Enro offers up the guitar for whomever to take.
Apr 12 21:32:13 <Noriko>   "How did you acquire instruments?" Noriko wonders, accepting the guitar.
Apr 12 21:32:42 <Enro>   ".. Don't worry about that. I have.. Ways. I'll show you later, I suppose."
Apr 12 21:32:51 *   Enro glances over at Jin.
Apr 12 21:33:06 <Enro>   "You play anything?"
Apr 12 21:33:18 <Aisutori>   "Punch with rhythm!"  She nodded appreciatively to Enro, tapping her foot at a slightly faster beat for him to get the rhythm before starting again, not asking how or where he picked them up. o/~ Set them free, Set them free, Gotta be alive for this show!  I want to turn into a bird and fly the high skies, heading for the far off distant hope, soaring over the seas far below, hear my snow bird's song and wake up to see the dawn! o/~
Apr 12 21:34:28 <Kotono>   Jin just shakes his head, as the man's eyebrows go up! But the crowd's attention turns from the lightning and onto Aisutori and friends instead!
Apr 12 21:35:08 *   Enro starts strumming out the bass line for Noriko to lead in with.
Apr 12 21:35:37 *   Aisutori rises up on a pillar of ice, it weaving and twirling under her feet,  o/~ Don't be deceived, he's all storm and bluster!  Lightning black, he doesn't trust back!  Give your hearts to me and we'll fight back, drive the darkness from the sky, the terror from the seas, a thousand years Clear Skies o/~
Apr 12 21:36:32 *   Noriko is capable of perfect mechanical imitation and puts it to use, although her expression betrays obvious confusion as to why any of this is happening.
Apr 12 21:37:30 *   Enro looks slightly bored and confused as well, but would rather do this than showcase his abilities, really..

ACTION --> "Aisutori rolls 2d6 vs 7 and gets 8." [2d6=3, 5]
Apr 12 22:12:50 <Kotono>   Aisutori sends ice slamming down at the grinning man...but it just misses! Despite being attacked ons everal sides and engaged, he dodges them all! Abruptly all the lightning dancing around gathers to him, forming an orb above him! "Your song isn't bad, but it's time to end this!" he roars, as the crowd stares at Aisutori at her song! A black orb of lightning gathers, slamming down on the three

Apr 12 22:12:55 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Kotono rolls 2d6 vs 8 and gets 11." [2d6=5, 6]
Apr 12 22:13:16 <Kotono>   But the massive detonation of lightning crackles around them harmlessly, avoiding any damage at all! OOC: Jin's up.
Apr 12 22:14:29 <Noriko>   Jin tries again with his experimental sword--maybe if he can defeat another enemy he'll get something more reliable!
Apr 12 22:14:37 <Noriko>   roll 2d6 vs 7

ACTION --> "Noriko rolls 2d6 vs 7 and gets 8." [2d6=6, 2]
Apr 12 22:16:19 <Kotono>   His blade whips about again, but in the aftermath of the lightning storm it barely has any effect at all! Meanwhile the crowd is starting to blink and look about, daze rupturing! OOC: Enro, go.
Apr 12 22:17:51 *   Enro once again jumps into his teleports, bouncing around the stage in three 'ports before trying to once more slam his bass into the suit's face.

Apr 12 22:19:50 <Kotono>   OOC: Damage? Calculate the base damage of the strike and then add the crit multiplier.
Apr 12 22:24:45 <Kotono>   WHAM! A massive strike hits hits hard enough to send the grinning man flying back and landing down hard on his back! He groans, momentarily dazed by the gigantic blow! Enro's bass is badly dented by the titanic shot! OOC: Ow. Noriko.
Apr 12 22:26:18 *   Noriko hopes to continue the group's exercise in violent musical criticism by laying into the prone figure with her guitar!

Apr 12 22:26:29 <Hatbot>   
ACTION --> "Noriko rolls 2d6 vs 8 COMBAT ROCK and gets 10." [2d6=6, 4]
Apr 12 22:28:09 <Kotono>   Indeed, violent critique has a hallowed place in musical theory. Unfortunately it seems Noriko has failed music class, for her quick blow hits the ground instead of the grinning man! OOC: Ow. Aisu.
Apr 12 22:31:51 <Aisutori>   o/~ Don't give up, Don't lose hope, for on our our side, faster than fast, moving like air itself, Enro-san! o/~ Aisutori gave a little cheer, her hands quickly moving as the ice pillar she was standing on slid toward the man suddenly as she leaped off, melting somewhat as it fell atop him, transforming into a thick wave of snow and ice to pin him under the weight.

Apr 12 22:35:11 <Kotono>   A heavy icicle falls from above! It plummets down towards him, getting him right amid a storm of ice and snow! For a few moments nothing happens, until abruptly the ice and snow crackles! The man's form vanishes, a great storm of electricity in it's place! It takes roughly the shape of the man, before the entire thing charges dead on at Enro like a bolt of pure electric hate!
Apr 12 22:35:18 <Kotono>   roll 2d6 vs 8 it's hurting and piiiisssed now

Apr 12 22:36:25 <Kotono>   The man charges right through Enro, leaving him crackling with electricity and azed after! The pain is considerable, his entire body crackling! OOC: Owwies. 24 damage. Jin's up.
Apr 12 22:37:56 <Noriko>   Jin chases after electroman, seemingly intent on converting him to data and getting a sword upgrade!

ACTION --> "Noriko rolls 2d6 vs 7 and gets 9." [2d6=5, 4]
Apr 12 22:38:31 <Kotono>   Jin seems to be wholly ineffective today, lashing out again and missing completely! OOC: Oi vey. Enro, go.
Apr 12 22:40:23 *   Enro grinds his teeth against the pain until his jaw creaks with strain and teleports behind the mass of electricity and levels a swinging kick at the things ribs.
Apr 12 22:40:29 <Enro>   roll 2d6 vs. 8

Apr 12 22:41:38 <Kotono>   A quick teleport gets Enro into position, but his swing is just a little bit errant! OOC: Noriko.
Apr 12 22:44:11 <Noriko>   So the guitar doesn't seem to be helping much. Well, it's not as though her combat programming took into account fighting with musical instruments, did it? Noriko abandons the guitar and goes with what she knows best, charging in with a flying kick!
Apr 12 22:44:17 <Noriko>   roll 2d6 less fail please?
Apr 12 22:44:17 <Hatbot>

Apr 12 22:48:18 <Kotono>   Noriko clubs the living lightning! It doesn't seem to do much to it, the electricity instead passing through the guitar! Her systems get a good shock from it, energy stores replenished! OOC: 8 damage but 16 ep recovered. No other effects. Go Aisu
Apr 12 22:48:19 <Kotono>   .
Apr 12 22:54:17 <Aisutori>   "Don't let up, he has to be on his last legs," Aisutori breathed in and blew out freezing mists over the dark orb, quickly challenging its magic with her own.

Apr 12 22:55:29 <Kotono>   Again ice and cold comes, but nothing happens as the mists crackle away against lightning! A second later, it explodes out in a great burst of lightning all over!

Apr 12 22:58:04 <Kotono>   The lightning goes all around, cascading like a pinball! It leaves the party dazed, before it all crackles into a wall socket and vanishes! OOC: 16 damage to Aisu and Noriko, free act.
Apr 12 22:59:02 *   Enro pants heavily and glances around.
Apr 12 22:59:12 <Enro>   ".. That's it? He just.. Ran?"
Apr 12 23:00:32 <Noriko>   "He must be nearly defeated. We should find him before he can recover." Despite saying this, Noriko doesn't seem to have a good idea about *how* to find him.
Apr 12 23:01:05 <Kotono>   The crowd is now staring at the group, seemingly coming out of it's trance completely!
Apr 12 23:03:12 *   Aisutori turns to the audience, bowing.  "Aisu-chan thanks you for listening to her song.  She's sorry to say that the show you expected tonight apparently was fake.  But don't worry, we'll keep singing for a clear skies tomorrow!"  She waved at them and gave a bright smile.  "Hopefully next time you'll have a fantastic song to listen to here!"
Apr 12 23:05:31 *   Enro glances at the crowd nervously and steps behind Noriko, using her to cover his teleport to off-stage.
Apr 12 23:07:15 *   Aisutori waves her hand a little as a wave of snow flowed from off stage, swirling in front of the group and obscuring them from view for a moment as she reached over, tugging them to follow her as she dashed off stage under the cover of the very controlled snow-storm.
