Roleplay Server Log #269

“Staff Meeting, Cn the Birb, Rudolph's Power”

[CN] Pushes the door open to the castle, he's on a mission to find crayons-

[Stev] -Limping around the castle on his own. NK was probably still curled up partly on the bed he left him at.-

[Stev] -Freezes and looks at the entering CN-

[CN] Is trying to be sneaky but isn't very successful-

[Stev] .... What doing?

[CN] Jumps in surprise, not having realized Stev was there- Nothing!

[Stev] -Raises an eyebrow at CN- ... You sure?

[CN] - Yes!

[Stev] ... Do you.. want help with that "Nothing"?

[CN] - No! Because I'm not doing anything!

[Stev] -Gives CN a flat look- .... Aaalright then, lil guy. -Goes back to his limpy wanderings, although he does glance at CN again here and there-

[CN] Is trying to sneakily look through chests-

[Stev] ... Soooo... What are you not looking for, hmmmm?

[CN] - NOTHING!

[Stev] Not looking for nothing? Double negative. Ya walked into that one, bud.

[CN] - I didn't say that!

[Stev] Yeah ya did.

[CN] - Did not!

[Stev] What ya lookin for for real though, ya don't just go peeking through chests for "nothing"

[CN] - I am not peeking!

[Stev] Alright, trying to look in without getting spotted, but failing miserably?

[CN] - NO!

[Stev] -Snort-

[CN] Huffs and crosses his arms and stomps his foot a little-

-Click click click click here comes a birb-

[CN] Tries to hide around a corner-

-Clickclickclickclick-

[Firebird] -Looks up at Stev as he skitters in-

[Stev] Uhhh....

[Firebird] -Scree-

-Tiny chest squeak as CN looks in another one-

[Firebird] -Clickclick click straight for chest-

[CN] Yelps as he spots firebird-

[Firebird] -Zoom for teeny notch, screeing-

[Stev] ... Huh.

[CN] - I'm not doing anything!

[Firebird] -Hops onto chest and gives CN a firm look-

[CN] Ducks down a little and crawls off the chest-

[Firebird] -Soft disappointed Scree-

[CN] - But I wasn't doing anything!

2:25 PM] *** Missed group call. ***

[CN] Shifts a bit nervously-

[Firebird] -Just keeps disappointed screeing, but softer at CN-

[CN] Finally breaks down and scuffs shoe on floor- I just wanted some crayons...

[Firebird] -Ceases Screeing and just, deflates, giving a surprised expression- ... Really?

[CP] - I ran out coloring the letters!

[Firebird] Have you ever heard of asking?

[CN] Does not answer, knowing they've had this conversation before-

[CN] - I just wanted more colors...

[Firebird] -Covers face with a wing and sighs deeply into the feathers- I don't even know where anyone keeps crayons.. I'm more used to ink and a quill....

[CN] - I heard Lie say that Doc and TLOT make them!

[Firebird] Then wouldn't it make sense to ask one of them?

[CN] - Don't wanna

[Firebird] And why not? Are you going to be like.... the... Big Meanie? And just take things without asking?

[CN] - No! I'm nothing like the big meanie!

[Firebird] You were going to steal crayons.

[Stev] .... What's a crayon?

[CN] - Nothing!

[Stev] -Exasperated sigh-

[Firebird] -Turns on chest to Stev- It's a wax... drawing... thing.

[Stev] ... Oh.

[CN] - Can you make them Firebird?

[Firebird] Afraid not. That was more my brines talent... I preferred the old ways.

[CN] - Oh... But I don't wanna ask them...

[Firebird] And why not?

[CN] Shrugs, he's still not very comfortable with them mostly because he hasn't spent much time with them-

[Firebird] Do you even have a reason?

[CN] Nervous noises and fragments of words-

[Firebird] ... -Leans in and smooshes primaries against CN's face- Slowly. Enunciate.

[CN] - I... I...- Mumble mumble mumble

[Firebird] Louder.

[CN] - I... I just don't wanna

[Firebird] Wwwwhhhyyyyy?

[CN] Shrugs again-

[Firebird] That's not a reason. Let's go find Doc to ask! -Shifts to his other form and easily scoops the teeny notch up into his arms before stalking off through the castle. Yelling for Doc at the top of his lungs. Bravo.-

[CN] Squeaks as he's picked up and carried away-

[Deer] Is upstairs feeding the bats in the library-

[Firebird] Deer! You'll do! -Struts up with CN in his arms- Do you know where crayons or Doc are?

[Deer] - Doc? I don't know at the moment, but we might have some crayons down in the lab

[Firebird] Lead the way? I actually don't know my way through the whole castle yet...

[Deer] - Sure- She hands off the last morsel of food to Blinky and wipes her hands off on her clothes before leading the two NOTCH's out, making sure the door is shut behind them. She takes them down the stairs and through the vine room into the lab- Now lets see, where did we leave those crayons?

[CN] Looks at the Guardian in it's tank-

[Deer] Digs through a couple of chests before finding the crayons- Ah, here we go!

[Firebird] -Swishes tail feathers a bit, looking around himself-

[CN] Quietly- Are you sure it can't get us?

[Firebird] If it could, we'd probably be dead, CN.

[CN] - Okay...

[Deer] Hands the crayons to Firebird- Here, don't be afraid to stop by for more when you need more

[Firebird] Much thanks. See CN? Asking nicely gets you things a lot better.

[Deer] - Ah, are we having those sorts of problems?

[CN] Huffs-

[Firebird] Some, yeah.

[CN] - I'm not bad...

[Deer] - We know CN, you just have things to learn still

[CN] Very quietly so only Firebird can hear- I don't like her

[Firebird] Oh..?

[Deer] - Everything alright?

[CN] Ignores Deer's question-

[Firebird] Mhmmm. Someone's just being a lil snobby snob.

[Deer] - Oh, well, I need to go tend to the garden, but you know where we are if you need anything else

[Firebird] Mhmm! Thanks, I'll take this little monster out now then. Oh! And the steve downstairs is out and about. Just incase you didn't know.

[Deer] - Oh! Alright. Be safe you two!

[CN] Buries face in Firebirds shoulder-

[Firebird] -Does the leave with CN, humming a bit-

[CN] - Why does she get to stay?

[Firebird] Hmmm? What do you mean?

[CN] - She did mean bad thing, but she got to stay... I hate her

[Firebird] She's kinda gotta stay? She's like... the server itself? Or something like that. And if she did a mean thing, clearly it was necessary.

[CN] - But it deleted my friend!

[Firebird] ... Is that where he went? Huh. I mean, if Deer finally did it, he clearly wasn't welcome, at all. Sure, making him leave would've been a.. kinder alternative, but... some people just don't learn, CN.

[CN] - Still... I mean, he wasn't as fun as you are...

[Firebird] I decided to be fun. Sure, I was already a different kind of fun, to me. But I was.. Kind of like DN to everyone else. But I changed. DN refused to, from what I can tell. He made everyone incredibly unhappy, CN. It's like.... Hmmmm.... If CP were to do everything he could to make you unhappy, but constantly. To everyone, I guess. -Adjusts CN in his arms a bit-

[CN] - Doesn't he already do that?

[Firebird] Nah. He's... ... Some of it, maybe. But I think it's just.. what he does, sometimes. Doesn't constantly go "If I do this, it will upset this person greatly. Lets do it" He just sort of.. Does it? Maybe? I'm not sure. I make myself scarce when he's around.

[CN] - He's always mean to the others... Except towards my brine

[Firebird] That's love. He loves her. He's just... Emotionally constipated, probably.

[CN] - What's constipated?

[Firebird] -blinks and looks down at CN- .... Hard shitting?

[Firebird] Technically it's like. Blockages? Or something. Which is more relevant to emotional constipation.

[CN] - Well how does it get unblocked?

[Firebird] Do I look like a doctor, CN? I'm still kind of emotionally constipated after a few ages of acting like a normal bird. It just.. Takes time, I guess? I dunno,

[CN] - Can we make it go faster?

[Firebird] ... Not sure.

[CN] - ... Can we go color now?

[Firebird] Sure. We're almost there now anyway. -Bends and sets CN down-

[CN] - Race you!- Goes tearing off

[Firebird] I-- I have longer legs than you.... I... -trails off and just watches CN for a second, tapping talons on the ground before shrugging- I guess. -Nyooom. He goes. Staying conveniently behind CN-

-The next day-

- There is a bit of frantic squawking coming from CN's room-

[CN] - Stay still!

[Firebird] - pokes head in -

[CN] Has his back to Firebird and is fussing with something-

[Firebird] - stalks up behind cn-

[CN] Has his pet bird in his hands rather tightly and is trying to get some flight feathers loose- Hold still

[Firebird]!! - yanks the bird from CN with an angry hiss, tucking it to his chest protectively - WHAT THE FUCK?

[CN] - Firebird! Give him back!

[Firebird] NO! You don't deserve the poor thing anymore. How would you like it if i tore your fingers off, huh?!

[CN] - But the feathers are pretty!

[Firebird] - grabs CN's hand by a finger and yanks, hard-

[CN] - OW! Stop! You're not the boss of me!

[Firebird] - just keeps yanking, expression highly sour- oh?

[CN] - OW!

[Firebird] Hurts, doesn't it!?

[CN] - STOOOOOOOP

[Firebird] You didn't stop! You said hold still!

[CN] - OKAY! OKAY! OW! IT HURTS!

[Firebird] Yes, it does. And you were trying to pull feathers off, multiple! This poor thing was in agony!

[Firebird] - in chat - hey, who's available that can change bodies?

[TLOT] I'm not busy, but why do you need that?

[Firebird] CN was trying to rip feathers off his bird and i am heavily upset. He deserves a better punishment.

[CN] - What? No!

[Firebird] - to CN - No? You don't get a choice. I'm making sure this doesn't happen again.

[CN] Struggles to get out of Firebirds grasp-

[Firebird] - just clamps onto the finger, refusing to release CN. There is no escaping punishment, feather puller-

[CN] - Firebird! Let go!

[CN] Tries to stomp on Firebirds foot-

[TLOT] Theres a rush of furious energy as the brine comes charging into the room. He roars at Cn and it shakes the building with the force of his rage- WE DO NOT TORTURE THE HELPLESS, I WONT ALLOW IT.

[CN] Promptly tries to hide behind Firebird-

[Firebird] -Slight spook tail poof-

[CN] - I JUST WANTED SOME FEATHERS!

[Firebird] And so you were going to rip them off?

[Firebird] -Holds pet bird to chest protectively-

[CN] - I just wanted a couple

[Firebird] How'd you like it if I tore your fingers off because I just "wanted a couple", Huh?!

[CN] - But feathers aren't fingers!

[Firebird] -Flicks CN's forehead- They are. Analogous, they are exactly like fingers!

[CN] - No, because they can't grab things!

[Firebird] -Momentary blank stare at CN-

[Firebird] I can't believe I'm even arguing this to you, I AM a bird most of the time..

[Firebird] ... You know, that would be a good punishment..

[TLOT] Has been steadily getting angrier this whole time thinking of his own torment at the hands of his NOTCH and suddenly pounces on Cn and smashes him roughly- you want feathers?! Feathers you'll have! - when his hands part it's to reveal a very small and dazed looking brown bird.

[CN] Surprised and panicked bird noises-

[Firebird] -The most amused cackle-

[TLOT] Firmly puts the bird on the bed- maybe when you're appropriately humbled, I'll think about changing you back!

[CN] Frustrated wing flapping-

[TLOT] Very huffy and still upset.

[Firebird] -Content smile and shuffle pet bird in his hands to begin examining it and make sure it's feathers are alright-

[Firebird] If I were still my old self, I would completely tear some of his feathers out to show him just what pain he was putting this poor bird through...

-Bird is a bit roughed up but otherwise fine. A few feathers are out of place-

[TLOT] Let me have the parrot, I know a green spot of jungle where I can set the poor thing free

[CN] Frantic chirping, not wanting to lose his pet-

[TLOT] No. I don't think you're responsible enough for a pet.

[Lie] Comes in, having been way out but felt TLOT's energy- What is going on?

[Firebird] -Smooths the feathers out, gently moving them into their proper spot before shaking his head- Nah, I'll keep it. That way when he visits, He'll remember just how mean he was being to an animal that trusted him. -Snuff and gently tuck it back to his chest, chirping at it softly-

[TLOT] If you wish. Lie... Firebird caught Cn tormenting his pet. I punished him appropriately

[Lie] - He what!?

[TLOT] He was apparently trying to pull out some of its feathers....

[Firebird] He was trying to pull the poor things feathers out! -The most offended and horrified look-

[Lie] - I see, so we went the CP punishment route?

[Firebird] You should pull on his feathers so he knows what kind of pain he was causing this bird, Lie. Because from experience, trying to pull healthy feathers is fucking painful.

[Lie] - I'd rather not

[CN] Loud distressed noises-

[CN] Tries to take a step and falls flat on his face-

[Firebird] -Amused snuff-

[CN] Distressed noise at Firebird-

[Firebird] -Scoops CN up and holds him in hand- Hows it feel, hmm?

[CN] Flaps wings quickly and madly-

[Lie] - Oh CN...

[TLOT] Mentally to Lie - You might feel like I over-reacted. But this is an issue that must be nipped in the bud. If he was ever allowed to develop a taste for torture like mine did. i'd never forgive myself if what happened to me... happened to you....

[Lie] - I know, and part of the problem may be that he was left alone with DN for so long, but I think Firebird will be good for him

[TLOT] Same. Firebird? Ar you willing to... teach him to bird for now? Just make sure nothing eats him.

[CN] His feathers are already getting messed up-

[Firebird] Yeah, sure. Ignore any panicked screeching for a few days? I'm gonna teach him to fly the bird way. -Small evil grin-

[Lie] - Wait, what?

[TLOT] Ummm... not too high okay? Dying in that shape could be bad...

[Firebird] Blehh You're no fun. Ya gotta get the full experience! I fell straight off my tower as a babe! I'm still standing just fine.

[Lie] - Please don't kill my NOTCH!

[CN] Scared noises-

[TLOT] Lets stick with one block up for now...

[Firebird] At Least a tree.

[Lie] - And how about learning to walk first?

[TLOT] Two blocks and walk first?

[Firebird] A walk and a tree.

[TLOT] Done. Let me know if you need anything.

[Lie] - A SHORT tree Firebird

[TLOT] quickly- No jungle trees!

[Firebird] Dang! I'll make do, there's other trees.

[Lie] - How about either a short oak or birch tree?

[Firebird] You all are so safety first about learning to fly. *Shifts pet parrot to shoulder and casually smooshes CN to chest, fixing feathers a bit

[TLOT] Gives Firebird A LOOK

[CN] Squirms because it feel weird-

[Lie] - Firebird, he's a child, of course we're going to be concerned about safety

[Firebird] But he's also a Notch. WE're built to last. Besides, the worst he'll do is probably break a leg. It's a learning experience.

[TLOT] Long annoyed sigh- I'm trusting you here....

[Lie] - I'D PREFER HE BROKE NOTHING!

[Firebird] -Long stare at Lie- So did the parrot, and CN betrayed that trust.

[Lie] Huffs quietly but knows she can't argue with that-

[CN] Chirps towards Lie-

[Lie] - No CN, you'll be staying with Firebird for a little bit

[Firebird] I'll be off with him now, unless you have anymore restrictions?

[Lie] - I'll let you know if I think of anything else

[firebird] -Does his leave with birbs-

[Lie] Turns towards TLOT- Do you need any calming blossoms?

[TLOT] Deflates a little and leans on the wall. - No... I'm okay... that just scared me. I got complacent around him because he's so little... but he's still a NOTCH.

[Lie] - I know, and with everything that's been happening I haven't been able to spend the time with him that I should be

[TLOT] Yeah... Doc has been also been too busy to keep an eye on Buff either... He seems harmless but...

[Lie] - It's okay, I really don't think Buff is a threat, and I think we just nipped any problems with CN in the bud. But what exactly are your concerns?

[TLOT] Oh he's just kind of annoying. He's sweaty and loud and tends to mess up the kitchen and bump into things. You know me, I've got a cat personality, he's like a.... a big rambunctious dog.

[Lie] Tries to fight down a laugh- Well, he certainly wants to please like one

[TLOT] He's got so much energy it's insane. Up at the ass-crack of dawn jogging around, shadow-boxing and... and... LIFTING THINGS! It's weird!

[Lie] - Ah yes, disturbing the great golden cat's usual routine?

[TLOT] If he had whiskers at the moment he'd twitch them at her- Hmmmph. I'm not the only one who likes to sleep in... I hear Doc bumping around late in the lab most nights. They're always into something.

[Lie] - They always are, CP's taken to sulking since he's been kicked out of the bed

[TLOT] I would too. It's hard sleeping alone when you're used to having a cuddle-buddy.

[Lie] - Just waiting on the word from Notch that it's okay for him to head back over to apologize to Jeb and the others, then he can get back in the bed

[TLOT] I saw him on the phone earlier today, you should go talk to him. Let him know what happened to Cn at least so he doesn't go looking for the kid and panic.

[Lie] - Good point, care to join me?

[TLOT] Do you need me to force Cp out when it's time to go?

[Lie] - Probably not, he seems pretty desperate to get back into the bedroom

[TLOT] Then I'll pass. I have a couple of small errands to do anyway.

[Lie] - Alright, just thought I'd offer

[TLOT] Pats Lie in a sort of parental way and departs.

[Lie] Follows him out and heads for Notch's place and knocks on the door-

[Notch] Peeks around the corner of the house with a handful of lilacs- Lie?

[Lie] - Oh hey, there you are. ��TLOT mentioned that he saw you on the phone earlier and I was wondering if you had contacted Jeb yet?

[Notch] Yeah.... I did. He set up a meeting after hours but it's hard to figure out how that matches up with game time...

[Lie] - I'm sure Doc or CP could figure it out

[Notch] Here- He gives her a piece of paper with the time on it.

[Lie] - Alright, thank you, I'll pass it along to CP. I'm guessing those flowers are for Flux?

[Notch] Sappy smile- yess... She does like purple...

[Lie] Touches the stems and makes the flowers just a bit fuller and more fragrant-

[Notch] Blinks as the air is sufficed with the sweet smell - Thank you Lie...

[Lie] - It's no problem, have fun with Flux

[Notch] Goes a little pink - I hope so- Scurries off

[Lie] - Oh! Wait!

[Notch] Hmm?

[Lie] - CN... Won't be around for awhile, so don't worry if you don't see him

[Notch] Ah, someone else pulled babysitting duty?

[Lie] - Yeah, Firebird is watching him

[Notch] Sounds good to me. Adults need time to themselves occasionally- wink

[Lie] - Yeah... Well, I'll let you be now

[Notch] Thanks!

-Late that night-

[CP] Is pacing grumpily as he and Lie wait for the right time to jump over to the real world- Are you certain we can't go now?

[Lie] - CP, we don't want to be there too early. Besides I asked Notch to let them know that we'd try to wait for them to all already be there.

[CP] Scowls and keeps up his pacing- I'm surprised the kid isn't bugging us

[Lie] - Weeeell...

[CP] Stops his pacing- What's that for?

[Lie] - Nothing to important right now, Firebird currently has him

[CP] - Brat can stay there for all I care

[Lie] - Be nice, besides, it's about time

[CP] Groans a little before turning towards his wife- Are you ready to go? They may have questions...

[Lie] - I know, and I'm ready

[CP] - Then let's go- He creates an opening

-There's a bit of a gasp as the people in the confrence room turn to the crackly opening with fearful eyes.

[Tokig] Immediatly scoots to the farthest corner from where the hole is.

[Fangbo] Peers curiously inside the hole- woooowww

[Jeb] Yeah...yeah

[CP] Comes through and then turns around, helping Lie through-

[Lie] Gives CP a small smile-

[Yster] Tries to look at the back of the hole without getting too close-

[CP] Shuts the opening quickly, he really doesn't want to do this-

[Jeb] Markus says you came to apologize to my staff, but I'm skeptical of that.

[Yster] There's just no way any of this is for real....

[Lie] - Oh believe me, it's real

[CP] - Yeah yeah, fucking sorry or whatever

[Lie] - CP...

[CP] - What?

[Jeb] So... hows the server? Either of them?

[Lie] - Well there's four actually, but Deer and Flux are doing well

[CP] - Can we go now?

[Lie] - Hush

[Fangbo] So it's true? Some servers have conciousness as well? Not just glitches?

[CP] - Yeah, and they embody a part of the server

[Snorik] very quietly- What on earth did we create...?

[Dofta] Something scary...

[Lie] - Something wonderful- She caught onto their words mentally

[Dofta] Points at Cp- I meant him. He choked me and put poor Tokig in a coma! That's pretty scary.

[Yster] Yeah. It's bad enough when they stalk and kill players...

[Lie] - Yes but just like humans all of us brines vary. I'm nothing like my husband, plus he's actually gotten much better about the killing

[Jeb] Well.... he's not the only one. I admit the NOTCH AI's aren't perfect, but the ratios pretty off right now. There are a lot of missing NOTCHs. We have to presume they've been deleted.

[Lie] Shares a look with CP-

[Yster] Well we do know a few of them are hunting both types of AI's for some damn reason. Harvestman isn't the only one. Just one of the worst.

[CP] Growls at the mention of Harvestman-

[Lie] - Easy now

[Jeb] He's really fucked up if it makes you feel better.

[Yster] His face...

[Lie] - We saw when you sent it to Notch

[Dofta] We're working on the parameters, but it's like trying to pick a lock while the components rearrange themselves. We had to make the new generation of NOTCHAI's aware of what they are so they'd stop asking so many questions everytime the admins came to check on them.

[CP] - Yeah we noticed that too fuckhead

[Lie] - I mean, at least Buff is a good NOTCH?

[Jeb] A bit too loud, pointing a finger - YEAH. You guys deleted one, didn't you? I saw one drop off the map and one of the new ones go out near your sector and wondered...

[Lie] - DN was a fucking asshole

[CP] - Aw, look at you cussing

[Lie] Gives CP a bit of a shove and he doesn't move at all

[Snorik] Dn?

[Jeb] Did you get a bad one?

[Lie] - DarkNOTCH, he had ice abilities and stalked and harassed Doc non stop making them paranoid and terrified of every little sound

[Yster] That's terrible! Wait, Doc?

[Jeb] Growls a bit at the mention of Doc-

[Lie] - A good friend, they became a herobrine not long after I did

[Fangbo] Narrows eyes- What do you mean 'became'? Are you some kind of hacker?

[Lie] - Oh god no, I have absolutely no ability to code. I actually used to be like you guys, a human

[Jeb] Thumbs at her- He pulled her in. Just like he did to me. Except she wanted to stay.

[Fangbo] I honestly thought you were full of shit Jeb.

[Tokig] ...same.

[Lie] - Well, I didn't exactly want to stay at first...

[Jeb] It's complicated...

[Yster] What's it like? I mean... can we do anything for you?

[Lie] - Oh I'm fine, once we had a parasitic entity removed from CP he certainly got a lot better

-Sea of large eyeballs and confused faces-

[CP] - Long story short, creepy pasta's? We all have or had an entity which caused an uncontrollable blood lust and need to murder

[Snorik] Is... this something we should be looking for in the other brines?

[Lie] - No, we're fairly certain CP is the only one which had it

[CP] Leans on his wife causing her to fall forwards a little-

[Lie] - CP!

[Yster] Little gasp-

[Snorik] Well that's... good?

[CP] - I wanna go home

[Lie] - CP... You just got allowed back into the bed...

[CP] - So?

[Dofta] Men... all the same....

[Jeb] smells metaphorical blood - You seem a little off your game Cp.

[CP] - You try going over a week with no sleep

[Jeb] Blinks - a week? Shit... most people start to go spare and pass out after 3-4 days. Unless they're on drugs.

[CP] Points at Lie- Can't sleep without her

[Lie] - And brines don't really need that much sleep, but not sleeping does take a toll

[Tokig] Can't you just - waves his hands - put yourself to sleep? You knocked my ass out easy enough. That was fucking terrifying.

[Lie] - He has nightmares if I'm not there

[Jeb] What does a maker of nightmares have nightmares about?

[Fangbo] That's kinda romantic...

[Dofta] Aww.

[CP] - My initial deletion...

[Lie] - It was the first time Harvestman went after him

[Yster] Wait is he YOUR NOTCH?

[Jeb] Yeah...

[Lie] - Technically his second NOTCH

[CP] Wraps his arm around Lie-

[Tokig] bitterly - What did he do to the first one, eat him?

[CP] Unintentionally gives them the image of his original NOTCH in it's final moments-

-There's a hushed silence as the memory passes to them and some muffled sniffling -

[Yster] That's so sad...

[Fangbo] Wait.... why the hell was he surrounded by other NOTCHs?

[Jeb] Wait a minute....

[Lie] - Well...

[Jeb] I was with Markus! You took them didn't you? That whole village full of broken AI's!

[CP] - I didn't

[Jeb] Suspicious look - You're hiding something.

[Lie] - There are things that you don't need to know

[Jeb] We do need to know dammit! We can't generate a bunch of replacements without knowing at least how many there were, their charges are all still at large and most of them are violent!

[Lie] - There don't need to be more!

[Fangbo] Hey! If they nearly murdered their NOTCHs they at least need someone keeping them away from players!

[Lie] - You never gave a replacement to my husband and his brother

[Yster] It must have happened before that update.... has it been awhile?

[CP] - It was during Alpha

[Jeb] Yeah... they didn't auto generate back then. This is recent stuff. Dofta has been doing a lot of tweaking on the neural network that does their personalities too.

[Dofta] looks a little bit proud - I got to design some new body types as well....

[Lie] - We noticed, my NOTCH is a child and Doc's new one looks like an iron golem

[Dofta] Beams - Do you like them? There's a few girls out there too and some of them even start out with a special 'wisdom pack' so they look old and wise and give better quality advice.

[Lie] - Well it's certainly been an adjustment... Mine is needing a bit of an additude adjustment at times but he is a child, and he spent a bit of time alone with a not so good NOTCH

[Yster] That's unfortunate. Do you like kids at least?

[Lie] - Oh yes, and CP's surprisingly good with them, that's one reason we think mine spawned as a child

[Jeb] Snorts- He's good with kids?!

[Fangbo] Let's stay on the subject here please...

[Lie] Gives a bit of a mental burst of him with Stevie during the potion incident-

[Dofta] Awwwwwww, he's so small and cute!

[CP] - Why did you show them that?

[Lie] - Because it's one of the few times you and your brother were not fighting

[Fangbo] Look, if you're going to keep the broken NOTCH's sequestered; at least give us a headcount.

[Jeb] She's right. But having their identifier numbers would be better, then we can match them to their charges as well.

[Lie] - We'll see, it may be awhile before anybody gets over there...

[Jeb] I can wait.

[Fangbo] Over where? What did you do with them?

[Lie] - They were placed on a server inside of a server

[Snorik] You put a server inside a server....?

[Jeb] How the actual fuck did you do that?!

[CP] - We have our ways

[Jeb] That means it was probably Doc, again.

[CP] - Yup

[Lie] Reaches up and runs her fingers through CP's hair- We should probably get going, time difference and all

[CP] - Fucking finally!

[Fangbo] I have a dumb request... just because I want to see what it looks like... if you don't mind...

[Lie] - What is it?

[Fangbo] Glances at the others to make sure they won't tease her - Can you lay a block out here? If it's possible.

[Jeb] Just not water spawn, lava or anything on fire please...

[Lie] Thinks for a moment before maneuvering out from under CP despite his protests and goes into the corner of the room. She flips through her inventory to see what she has and lays down a mossy cobblestone, a few tiny flowers spring up where she brushes the moss-

[Dofta] Oh! That's so cool!

[Fangbo] Touches it tentatively- it's too perfect... thank you. Should we... water it ever?

[Lie] - No, my plants don't require water

[Tokig] Is elated but yawns anyway, it's very late.

[CP] Creates another opening- We should go Lie...

[Lie] - Hopefully we'll talk again soon- She heads for her husband who starts helping her through

-There's a bit of waving, but it's clear they're all somewhat in shock, except for Jeb, he just looks annoyed.-

[CP] Makes an opening near their home-

[Sammn] — is wandering around, lost in thought -

[CP] Once again steps through first and starts helping Lie through- Easy now

[Sammn] - hears voices and freezes -

[Lie] Comes through and yawns a little- Wow, I guess it is a bit late...

[Sammn] - stares wide eyed at the sudden appearance of Lie & CP - Whoa...

[CP] Closes the opening-

[Lie] - Hm? Oh, hey Sammn

[Sammn] - waves distractedly - Ello Lie... Ah, were did the two of come from?

[Lie] - Oh, we just had a quick errand out in the real world

[Sammn] - Real world?

[Lie] Gives Sammn the quick explanation-

[Sammn] - is kinda speechless - That sounds... Strange, but interesting all at once.

[Lie] - It really is, it's where I originally came from

[Sammn] - Orginally? You... Aren't native? - winces as a headache starts.

[Lie] - I'm a native herobrine because this is where I became a herobrine, but I'm not a native of the game

[Sammn] - alright it's just.... Or rather, I'm curuous

[Lie] - About the real world? Well, I'll answer any questions I can for you

[Sammn] - Would it be possible or... Allowable... If could come see it?

[Lie] - Er, well yes, but there's about a weeks worth of pain you'd have to go through first...

[Sammn] - Oh, well then... I'll think about it...

[Lie] - You'd only have to go through the pain once though, then we could come and go as you please

[Sammn] - nods - Just slightly worried how my - waves hand at head - memory issues might change.

[Lie] - You wouldn't be alone, we'd make certain that there was somebody there with you

[Sammn] - Well it's something to look forward to, atleast.

[Lie] - Think about it and talk it over with Doc, okay?

[Sammn] - nods and heads off -.

[Lie] Smiles as she takes CP's hand and leads him home so they can sleep-

[Crim] - is walking slowly toward the beach, or rather a very colorful house near the beach -

[Pinwheel] Is up on top of Splender's house, butt wiggling like a cat ready to pounce as she looks at the shore-

[Crim] - looks around cautiously but continues toward the house -

[Pinwheel] Takes a bit of a running start and leaps off the roof, shakily gliding to the opposite shore where she fumbles her landing and lands a bit hard. She then hisses at the ground-

[Crim] - jumps, started but quickly races over - Pinwheel!

[Pinwheel] - No

[Crim] - stops suddenly - Yes you be. Why you jumps downs?

[Pinwheel] - No!- Starts rolling around in the grass

[Crim] - sighs and slowly walks over - Yes!

[Pinwheel] Stops rolling- No?

[Crim] - flops down - YES.

[Pimwheel] Just cocks head at Crim-

[Crim] You smart. You need learns more words. Crim helps you.

[Pinwheel] Just starts rolling and scratching herself in the grass again-

[Crim] - watches, twitching tail and waits -

[Pinwheel] Stops and flips back over before racing to scratch a tree-

[Crim] - watches - Tree.

[Pinwheel] - No

[Crim] - repeats - TREE.

[Pinwheel] - NO

[Crim] - Fine. - gets up and walks away

[Pinwheel] Grooms her wings a little and a feather comes out. She picks it up and brings it over to Crim- No

[Crim] - looks over at her - Feather.

[Pinwheel] Tilts head and then looks at her wings-

[Crim] - stops - Feathers. You have many color ones. Pretty.

[Pinwheel] Sniffs through her feathers again and finds a loose one in another color which she pulls out and puts in front of Crim-

[Crim] - points to new feather - Red. Red feather.

[Pinwheel] Picks it up and tries to put it on Crim-

[Crim] - leans down - Red like Crim.

[Pinwheel] Plops it on his head-

[Crim] - reaches up to hold in place -

[Pinwheel] Happily- No!

[Crim] - Yes.

[Pinwheel] Makes a frustrated noise-

[Crim] - This why you learn words. Easy to tell others what mean. No guess, no wrong.

[Pinwheel] Huffs and thumps tail on ground a little-

[Crim] - You smart. You know. - sits downs across from her.

[Pinwheel] Moves forwards and sniffs at Crim-

[Crim] - sits still and watches -

[Pinwheel] Sneezes at some coal dust on his scales-

[Crim] - tries not to giggle - I digger. Gets dirty Crim does.

[Pinwheel] Scraps at the ground to imitate digging and then tilts her head curiously-

[Crim] - nods - Dig. Ground.

[Pinwheel] Sits back and looks at Crim, trilling a little-

[Crim] I dig. You flap. - waves arms -

[Pinwheel] - Cri!

[Crim] - smiles - Yes.

[Pinwheel] - Cri! Cri!

[Crim] - stands - Come, you point. I tell, that way you know sounds and names.

[Pinwheel] Stands and jumps around a little, her tail swishing through the air a little, a slight whistle being produced as the wind passes over her sharp feathers. This completely distracts her-

[Crim] - watches, wondering how she made the sound -

[Pinwheel] Swishes tail and gets hints of the sound again-

[Crim] You makes sound. - goes over to look at her tail -

[Pinwheel] Holds her tail out for Crim, the feathers there are razor sharp and meant to be used as a weapon-

[Crim] - carefully touches one with a claw - Sharp feather.

[Pinwheel] - Cri? No?

[Crim] - pulls paw back - I care. No worry. I stays back, so no hurts.

[Pinwheel] - Criiiiiiiiiii

[Crim] Is ok, see I have sharp tail too. - shows tail spikes -

[Pinwheel] Sniffs the spikes and baps at them a little-

[Crim] Yes. Spikes. - slowly twitches end, then knocks a spike on the ground -

[Pinwheel] Jumps back a little before moving around to the front of Crim- Cri?

[Crim] Yes?

[Pinwheel] Nudges his chest-

[Crim] - steps back - What?

[Pinwheel] Bows down a little, wanting to play-

[Crim] You want play? Yes.

[Pinwheel] - Cri!- She jumps around and baps at Crim

[Crim] - smiles, then darts forward and gently taps her as he passes by - Catch Crim!

[Pinwheel] Goes full speed which let's her catch Crim in a couple of seconds as she jumps on him-

[Crim] - at last second he leaps straight up, latching onto a low branch - Miss!

[Pinwheel] Jumps up as well and pulls herself up onto the branch-

[Crim] - smiles and lets go, twisting cat-like to land on all six paws. Once down, he dashes off, weaving through the trees. -

[Pinwheel] Races after him, keeping right on his tail-

[Crim] - darts up another tree, only to jump the next one -

[Pinwheel] Chases afterwards, using her wings to get across a couple bigger gaps-

[Crim] - gets to section with more space between trees. He leaps and misses the branch, landing hard on the ground - Ooofffff.

[Pinwheel] Glides down- Cri?

[Crim] - stumbles up, holding one leg against his side - Is ok. You win.

[Pinwheel] Whines a little, she's concerned-

[Crim] - tries to put paw down and yelps when he puts weight on it - Ouch! OK... maybe no.

[Pinwheel] - No...

[Crim] - tucks paw back - Is ok, Crim have other feets.

[Pinwheel] Looks around a bit before pushing Crim a little towards the castle-

[Crim] - sighs but starts walking - Crim will be fines. Lived by self, not first ouch.

[Pinwheel] - No

[Crim] - keeps walking, but pouting - Yes.

[Pinwheel] - No

[Crim] - rumbles as walks -

[Pinwheel] Keeps pushing, which is rather amusing considering how much lighter she is then Crim-

[Crim] - tries to slow down - No push. We go.

[Pinwheel] Whines- Cri...

[Crim] - huphfes and speeds back up - Fine.

[Pinwheel] Keeps a careful eye on him as they approach the castle-

[Crim] - is listening for voices, but still moving - What if no one here?

[Pinwheel] - No

[Crim] - heads towards doors - Yes. Others do things, is day.

[Pinwheel] - No

[Crim] - stops in front of door - Yes, it happen. I come, no one here. I leave.

[Pinwheel] - No!- Starts trying to push Crim past the door, not wanting him to go inside

[Crim] - stumbles and moves away - No? Where go then?

[Pinwheel] Urges him on towards Splender's house-

[Crim] - realizes where she's herding him so starts walking, confused - You home?

[Pinwheel] Nods. As they get closer she runs ahead to hit the lever to bring up the walkway-

[Crim] - continues after her -

[Pinwheel] Races into the house and be seen trying to drag Splender, her fangs buried deep in one of his tendrils-

[Splender] - Pinwheel what are you doing?

[Crim] - stops - Pinwheel! Ask, no bites!

[Pinwheel] Muffled- No

[Splender] - Crim? What are you doing here?

[Crim] - looks quilty - We play, I jump miss. Pinwheel worries. - holds injured paw away from body. It looks alittle swollen.

[Splender] Gets Pinwheel mouth open and releases his tendril- Wait right here, I have some medicine since Pinwheel is a bit prone to injuries as well

[Pinwheel] Goes back over to Crim-

[Crim] - shakes tail at her - You smart, use words. Bite bad. Tall happy is good.

[Pinwheel] - No

[Splender] Returns with the dry pills- Here we go, just take one of these and it should heal you right up!- He offers one of the small blue pills

[Crim] - holds out paw - Thanks. - sniffs then swallows pill -

[Pinwheel] Lays down next to Crim-

[Splender] - Pinwheel seems to have taken a real liking to you!

[Crim] - nods and carefully sits - I knows. I try to teach her words, so bites stop. She smart, she learned Crim.

[Splender] - Wonderful! However, she is still very much a baby, Doc told us not to expect her to really start talking until her next growth spurt

[Crim] - smiles - Is ok. She learn words now, then can use when she needs.

[Splender] - Absolutely! And thank you Crim

[Crim] - smiles - Is much easier to learns from other. Crim learn self, still talk funny. I learn more, I can teach her more.

[Splender] Laughs gently- Well yes, thank you for that, but also thank you for being her friend, as far as I can tell, your her first real friend

[Crim] - nudges her - Friends good. Play better with others.

[Pinwheel] - Cri

[Splender] Gasps- OH SHE'S SAYING YOUR NAME!

[Crim] - nods - She smart, just needed little helps.

[Splender] - Well, so long as you two are together I don't think I'll have to worry about her as much!

[Crim] Yes, we both biters. No one mess with. - hisses softly -

[Pinwheel] Small hiss in response-

[Splender] Giggles- Well if you two want to continue playing, just be careful, alright? And if you do get hurt, I have plenty of pills and so does Doc and CP!

[Crim] - yawns - Yes, will be. And I try to remember.

[Splender] - Oh, are you tired? You can sleep here for a bit if you want

[Crim] - tries not to yawn, but nods - Please?

[Splender] - Pinwheel's room is upstairs, I'm sure both of you can fit on the bed. Feel fre to use it

[Crim] - nudges Pinwheel - Show way. Nap, then more play. Yes?

[Pinwheel] Starts climbing the stairs to her room-

[Crim] Thanks Tall Happy. - follows sleepy -

[Pinwheel] Climbs up onto her bed and curls up into a ball of feathers-

[Crim] - crawls up as well and curls up next to her -

[Pinwheel] Is quickly dead to the world, asleep-

[Crim] - watches her for a few, then also passes out, rumble purring -

[CN] Little worried noises as Firebird flies him someplace-

-Find the tallest tree that just barely stays in the short category to teach CN to fly with-

[Firebird] Oh shhh. You'll be fine.

[CN] Frantic flapping-

[Firebird] -Lands on one foot ontop of a very nice heighted tree. IE, it won't kill CN if he fails, but it'll hurt like a bitch.- Hmmmm... This'll do.

[CN] Questioning noise-

[Firebird] -Sits at the edge and holds CN off it, adjusting grip so he's holding CN by the belly, but his wings are untouched- Spread your wings.

[CN] Clamps wings down in fear-

[Firebird] I'm not going to drop you. Open your wings.

[CN] Unsure noises-

[Firebird] Cmon. Spread your wings, CN.

[CN] Nervously does so-

[Firebird] -Tilts CN a bit to one side to watch his reaction-

[CN] Panics a little-

[Firebird] -Tut tuts- Keep calm, I said I wasn't going to drop you.

[CN] After a frantic moment starts calming down-

[Firebird] -tilts him back upright, ruffling his own wings in thought-

[CN] Sighs a little in relief-

[Firebird] ... -Tosses CN upward a bit, still in his reach to catch him if he freaks. Just to see what he does in the air-

[CN] Completely freaks out-

[Firebird] -Watches the frantic wing flails calmly, completely ignoring the terror shrieks from CN- Hm. -Catches him once he's in reach-

[CN] Tries to make himself as small as possible-

[Firebird] ... Really?

[CN] Long whine-

[Firebird] -Adjusts his talons and tosses CN in the air again-

[CN] More frantic noises and a bit of flapping-

[Firebird] -Repeats process again once he catches CN-

[CN] Panicked scree's and more frantic wing flapping-

[Firebird] Hm..... Try flapping your wings like this. -Flaps CN's wings with talons in the proper flight way at next catch-

[CN] Clamps his wings down-

[Firebird] You'll die if you do that in the air, CN.

[CN] Little scree-

[Firebird] -Toss toss-

[CN] More frantic noises, he just wants this to stop-

[Firebird] -tooooss. That's a high toss, there CN goes-

[CN] Finally does a couple of proper flaps-

[Firebird] There you go! That's it....

[CN] Tries to grab onto Firebirds talons so he can't be tossed again-

[Firebird] -Amused snort before setting CN onto the tree with him-

[CN] Breaths sigh of relief-

[Firebird] -Smooths CN's ruffled feathers with a hum, scooting him closer to the edge with the nudges-

[CN] Tries not to be moved but can't resist due to being so much smaller

[Firebird] You're doing well. Remember, keep flapping....

[CN] Small worried and questioning chirp-

[Firebird] -Flicks CN off the tree and leans over to watch him fall-

[CN] Forgets to flap and hits the ground hard-

[Firebird] -Hops off tree and glides to the ground. Peels CN off ground quickly and turns him in talons to see if anything is broke-

[CN] Whimpers a little-

[Firebird] -Uses a small healing magic on CN while tutting- You have to keep flapping your wings.

[CN] Whines and tries to scuttle away-

[Firebird] -Just holds CN in his talons and takes to the air again-

[CN] Squirms-

[Firebird] Stop squirming or I'll drop you, CN.

[CN] Long scree-

[Rudolph] Is wandering the Manor near desperately. He hates it, but his energy is once again running low and driving him to seek out one of the alien-looking Slender beings for more. He gnashes his long jaws in anger, having nothing within to take in air or make any sound beyond the creaking of his metal skeleton. His shuffling feet falter and he catches himself with one paw-like hand against a wall, cursing internally. He looks down a dark and silent corridor he's never noticed before, and smells wet metal, dust and old blood. Something in the shadows catches his flickering red eyes and he pushes himself towards it.

It's a small stick of wood jammed in the middle of one of the doors, and on the tip is a glowing red ember that's letting off a nearly inaudible hum of power. Curiously he wraps his cloth-covered hand around it and the jaws part in suprise as a wave of energy flows into him from touching it. Viciously he snaps it off the door and holds it to his chest. The power is like nothing he's tasted before. It's small, but there is no end to it, and the monster stands straighter as it absorbs the strange electricity of the redstone.

He looks around to see if anyone has noticed his small transgression, and finding only silence; he roughly stuffs the torch down through the torn stitches on his jaws and into the mass of rubber scraps and metal joints that fill his cloth skin.

The redstone touches the amalgam in his core and he feels even stronger, his anger for the one who cursed him like this returning tenfold. He shoves the door open and looks inside. The room is dusty and spartan apart from an old laptop, and nothing has been touched in a long time. At the far end of the space is a large window and he wrenches it roughly open, forcing his ponderous bulk out and into the night beyond. As his feet hit the turf he strides with purpose and then breaks into a galumphing run.

He lost track of his prey the last time in a hail of fire and collapsing masonry. But her energies are stonger now, and he can almost feel her in his grip as the unholy strength fills what's left of his soul.

Only the wolves bear witnesses to his departure, and then tremble in his wake.
