OOC post, like whoa
Arabelle> (L) Juniper is sitting crosslegged. Meditating.
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle watches Juni absently while she thinks.
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle curls up sorta against herself and the wall, sighing. "Gods fucking DAMN IT." She grumbles and slumps a little.
Arabelle> Neko-Dorei has arrived.
Arabelle> Neko-Dorei sets down Ashu.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei asks, "Ara...?"
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle doesn't notice at the moment.
Arabelle> (L) Ashu asks, "Hun?"
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "...You've got some fucking brass ones coming back here." She doesn't move
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei enters, walking hand in hand with Ash.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "Ash needed help, Ara."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "So you kidnapped her and took her to that /BITCH/. Right."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "I can so totally see the logic in that."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle is just DRIPPING with sarcasm
Arabelle> (L) Ashu says, "... Please don't be mad Ara."
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "And now she'll be feeding regularly, and getting a good night's sleep."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "..."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "Enslaved to that /thing/."
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei is, incedentally, only vaguely recognizable as Jhanny. Very vaguely.
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle gives Jhanny, or Dorei as the case is now, one /hell/ of a glare. Let's just be glad looks can't kill. "Just like /you/."
Arabelle> (L) Ashu frowns.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei is also wearing her slave's uniform, including vibrator egg and bondage panties.
Arabelle> (L) Ashu asks, "Please Ara. I'm fine now, see?"
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei nods.
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle doesn't seem to care what she's wearing. She's holding back lashing out at either one of them /violently/, this much is visable. She's also upset. "Yes, you're fine now, except you're /enslaved./ Your mind is essentually, for all points and purposes, /LOST/."
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "She loves us and wants us to be happy, Ara... I couldn't let Ashley suffer. I love her too much."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "Because happier slaves are easier upkeep /dear/" Oh yes, much with the sarcasm. Someone's definately had a bad day.
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "It's not. Fucking. /Real/."
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "No, it's not. She changed me for the better."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle asks, "Better? Being the bitch of a mindleech that thinks it has a fucking set of nards the size of soccer balls is /BETTER/?"
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei just nods. Yep, she's mind controlled.
Arabelle> (L) Ashu says, "Please, Ara..."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "And /You/."
Arabelle> (L) Ashu flinches a little.
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "You were the one worried about what Nate would think about various things on this sort of subject. You have /ANY/ clue what he's gonna do when he finds out again?"
Arabelle> (L) Ashu says, "H-he won't."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "Right, like that worked so /well/ last time."
Arabelle> (L) Ashu says, "..."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "You two have /no/ fucking idea how lucky you are that Ravenloft is underground, or I would'ave come down there using the Moonstone Cannon as a fucking /DRILL/."
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "..."
Arabelle> (L) Ashu exclaims, "Y-you wouldn't!"
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle >_O; "Either way, you wanna be Claudus's little bitches? Be her little bitches. And no, I won't. I've learned my lessons about being brash and /too/ headstrong."
Arabelle> (L) Ashu looks at Jhanny, waits.
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "Just remember this." She gives them a collective Look, though it's mostly at Ashley. "I loved you. I'm still willing to /fight/ for you, if you're fucking still willing to FIGHT this."
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "I still love you, Ara. And I still love Juni, too."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "Right, I'll believe that when you kill that bitch, Claudus."
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei GLARES.
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "At the moment, I don't believe /half/ the shit you're spewing."
Arabelle> (L) Ashu slumps. "I don't want anyone hurt because of this."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "A little late for that, not all injuries are physical."
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei sighs.
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle (OOC) asks, "Y'all care if I post the log of this in Ara's journal?"
Arabelle> (L) Ashu (OOC) says, "Not at all."
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "Ara... I really do still love you. And I still intend to teach you and Ash how to use Trance..."
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei asks, "Would now be good?"
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "Sure, whatever." She stands up and stretches.
Arabelle> (L) Ashu says, "...Trance?" ((Mun know, read the entry of Ara's.))
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle (OOC) says, "Aye, I posted it for that reason :3"
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "The ability to think clearly, and quickly... Here's a nice open area. Open your minds, and we'll begin the first training katas..."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle has a feeling Jhanny's /really in there/ somewhere, and is probably clawing to get out. In fact, she believes that's part of the reason MindControlled!Jhanny keeps giving her spells. Who knows? She nods and does so...
Arabelle> (L) Ashu sits down cross-legged, slowl claming breaths and all that.
Arabelle> Katas are forms of action, not sitting.
Arabelle> Yeppers, Juni was doing training katas earlier.
Arabelle> (L) Ashu didn't know that, sorry! >:|
Arabelle> S'ok~
Arabelle> (L) Ashu does whatever it is she's supposed to do then!
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "And then slow your breathing..." More time passes...
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei asks, "Now do you see how my voice sounds all slow?"
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "...Uh-huh...." Freaky.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "Try to speak... Notice your limbs barely respond..."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle blinks slowly (for her) "Yeah..." blinku.
Arabelle> (L) Ashu says, "Neat in a way..."
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "You're in Trance. The first step."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle blinks. "....Oh /hell/..." She takes a slow and deep breath, and attempts to work out of it for a moment. She rubs a spot on her head. "../ow/..."
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei asks, "You're thinking, seeing, hearing, feeling, smelling twenty percent faster than normal... Ara?"
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "CPU chip for the cybernetics." She grumbles.
Arabelle> (L) Ashu looks at Ara. "You okay?"
Arabelle> (L) Ashu says, "Ouch."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "It can only process it so /fast/ at once."
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei winces.
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle could probably last longer with practice, but unlike flesh, hardware can only take /so much/.
Arabelle> (L) Ashu says, "You'll get better at it."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle nods. "Just gotta get used to it."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle honestly /forgot/ about the processor, hence not really warning about it.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei frowns, obviously considering something.
Arabelle> (L) Ashu looks at Jhanny. "?"
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "There's another way to do it..."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle raises an eyebrow
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "It's more powerful - You can think even faster, and move faster than normal as well..."
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "But you have to /earn/ it. It can't really be taught, as such, you just have to know the basics of trance."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "...Given that I already /can/...." She crosses her arms. "Earn it?"
Arabelle> (L) Ashu listens.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "The technique of Rage is very, very powerful, but requires ..." Hesitant.
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "..."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle (OOC) says, "...Why am I seeing the 'real' Jhanny explaining this? Trying to work around Claudus's programming? XD"
Arabelle> (L) Ashu says, "...Rage, doesn't sound right."
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "You need to fight impressively. Very impressively."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle pops her fingers.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "Impressively enough to build up respect from the universe itself."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "...Dayum."
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "And then you can use some of that respect to go into a trance that uses your soul rather than your body..."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle (OOC) says, "@_o Sounds like it'll be one hell of a task for Ara to complete"
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "Let me show you a few ways to suitably impress the universe. Ash, watch closely."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle watches as well, right eye refocusing slightly to record.
Arabelle> (L) Ashu nods, and steps back a bit to watch.
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle takes a step back as well.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei summons a lesser humanoid daedra, then begins laying into it with punches. "You'll know you've impressed the universe when it tells you so, when it shows you that you have... Like /THIS/" he says, as he gets through the creatures guard and plants an uppercut on its chin that sends it flying through the air and collapsing in an exhausted heap on the ground.,
Arabelle> With the force he used, it shouldn't have happened - he barely tapped the thing.
Arabelle> (L) Ashu :O
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle whistles.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei jabs his fingers into four pressure points on the prone body, and suddenly the creature is standing straight and stock still, like a statue.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "Uppercut. Then Stun."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle nods
Arabelle> (L) Ashu nods as well, still :O-faced.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei throws a right cross at it, then another right cross. Then slams his fist straight into it. Even though he didn't touch them, its eyes bleed as though they had been gouged out - and they are indeed missing. "Eye Gouge."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle flinches a little at that.
Arabelle> Its eyes return after a moment, but it's obviously still in pain.
Arabelle> (L) Ashu says, "Ew..."
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei performs another combo. "Finisher. Snap Neck." The thing's head twists suddenly, and it falls to the ground... Dead.
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "It's not nearly as plesent as it looks."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle is referring to the eyegouge. From experiance.
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle is also aware that it didn't look plesent, either.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei summons something else. This thing is armed with some sort of giant sword. Jhanny draws a simple steel saber.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "Thrust. Thrust. Slash." Suddenly tiny cuts appear all over the creature's body.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "Cut."
Arabelle> (L) Ashu says, "..."
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei performs another combo. The thing's sword goes flying into the air, and lodges itself perfectly straight into the ground. "Disarm Weapon."
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei performs another combo... This time the sword gets stuck into the middle of the being's torso, snapping in half and lodging there. "Blade Break." He tosses away the hilt and grabs the large sword from earlier.
Arabelle> (L) Ashu says, "Wow."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "Indeed."
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "Finisher. Dismember Arm." The creature's right arm goes flying off it as it dies, with surprisingly little blood.
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "..." Another flinch, but a nod follows
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei summons again. This time he draws a very, very large battleaxe.
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "..."
Arabelle> (L) Ashu looks kind of pale, still gets squicked by this kind of thing.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei slashes downwards, draws it up and across the thing's torso, and then up and back straight down again. No blood - it ricochets off the armor - But suddenly the opponent is gasping for breath.
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle isn't so much /squicked/ as she's reminded of... You know.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei does not!
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle (OOC) says, "The accident :P"
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei performs another combo. "Finisher. Behead." The final blow bloodlessly sends the head flying away from the body.
Arabelle> (L) Ashu says, "...urk."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "..." Okay, /now/ she's squicked.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei summons another opponent. And draws a small, frail-looking dagger.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "The important thing is always /which way your weapon is moving/."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "..." Nods.
Arabelle> (L) Ashu nods.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei chops downwards twice at his foe, then draws it sideways across an encroaching hand. The creature's screams die to a gurgling hack. "Slash Throat. This body will never raise an alarm or cast another spell."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "..." absently rubs at her own throat
Arabelle> (L) Ashu looks like she's gonna be sick, huzzah.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "It can be healed. But it takes time."
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "And proper application of Dispel magic."
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "Generally consumed in potion form..."
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei chops at the creature once, then stabs it three times. The wound seems to refuse to heal.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "Stab. That wound won't heal for a long, long time."
Arabelle> (L) Ashu nods.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "And that's enough for now."
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei draws a large mace and shatters the thing's skull, causing it to vanish like the others.
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle nods as well, eye 'focusing' back to normal to file away the information and such on her arms' drives.
Arabelle> (L) Ashu refuses to say anything until she gets her stomach under-control.
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle (OOC) asks, "that the end of this scene?"
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "And that's the end of the lesson for now. Just remember, you have to build up a charge to Rage..."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle nods
Arabelle> (L) Ashu nodnods.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei asks, "Any questions?"
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "Not really, no..." blink. "...Anywhere in particular I have to do this 'impressing'?"
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "No. And how you impress the universe depends on which one you're in..."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle nos
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle nods
Arabelle> (L) Ashu asks, "... Are w-we done?"
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "X probably uses skilled shooting, Zero probably uses fine swordplay. If you're ready to leave, Ash, we can."
Arabelle> (L) Ashu says, "Ready to leave whenever you are."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle nods.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei smiles and takes her hand. "Oh, Ara...?"
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "?"
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "My name is Neko Dorei now."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "...I see." She nods, hesitantly, but she nods.
Arabelle> (L) Ashu takes Jhanny's hand. "Bye Ara."
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei looked it up and liked the meaning.
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle waves.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "If you ever want to come back, Ara, or if Juni does... Feel free."
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "Until then, we'll visit sometimes."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, ".." Nod.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "Take care of yourself, and tell Juni too as well."
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei vanishes, along with Ashu.
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "I will"
*After they actually leave*
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "..." slumps against the wall and finally loses her composure. Since Juni's asleep, she /can/. She, to put it bluntly, just silently sobs.
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle watches Juni absently while she thinks.
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle curls up sorta against herself and the wall, sighing. "Gods fucking DAMN IT." She grumbles and slumps a little.
Arabelle> Neko-Dorei has arrived.
Arabelle> Neko-Dorei sets down Ashu.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei asks, "Ara...?"
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle doesn't notice at the moment.
Arabelle> (L) Ashu asks, "Hun?"
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "...You've got some fucking brass ones coming back here." She doesn't move

Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei summons something else. This thing is armed with some sort of giant sword. Jhanny draws a simple steel saber.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "Thrust. Thrust. Slash." Suddenly tiny cuts appear all over the creature's body.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "Cut."
Arabelle> (L) Ashu says, "..."
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei performs another combo. The thing's sword goes flying into the air, and lodges itself perfectly straight into the ground. "Disarm Weapon."
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei performs another combo... This time the sword gets stuck into the middle of the being's torso, snapping in half and lodging there. "Blade Break." He tosses away the hilt and grabs the large sword from earlier.
Arabelle> (L) Ashu says, "Wow."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "Indeed."
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "Finisher. Dismember Arm." The creature's right arm goes flying off it as it dies, with surprisingly little blood.
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "..." Another flinch, but a nod follows
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei summons again. This time he draws a very, very large battleaxe.
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "..."
Arabelle> (L) Ashu looks kind of pale, still gets squicked by this kind of thing.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei slashes downwards, draws it up and across the thing's torso, and then up and back straight down again. No blood - it ricochets off the armor - But suddenly the opponent is gasping for breath.
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle isn't so much /squicked/ as she's reminded of... You know.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei does not!
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle (OOC) says, "The accident :P"
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei performs another combo. "Finisher. Behead." The final blow bloodlessly sends the head flying away from the body.
Arabelle> (L) Ashu says, "...urk."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "..." Okay, /now/ she's squicked.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei summons another opponent. And draws a small, frail-looking dagger.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "The important thing is always /which way your weapon is moving/."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "..." Nods.
Arabelle> (L) Ashu nods.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei chops downwards twice at his foe, then draws it sideways across an encroaching hand. The creature's screams die to a gurgling hack. "Slash Throat. This body will never raise an alarm or cast another spell."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "..." absently rubs at her own throat
Arabelle> (L) Ashu looks like she's gonna be sick, huzzah.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "It can be healed. But it takes time."
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "And proper application of Dispel magic."
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "Generally consumed in potion form..."
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei chops at the creature once, then stabs it three times. The wound seems to refuse to heal.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "Stab. That wound won't heal for a long, long time."
Arabelle> (L) Ashu nods.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "And that's enough for now."
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei draws a large mace and shatters the thing's skull, causing it to vanish like the others.
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle nods as well, eye 'focusing' back to normal to file away the information and such on her arms' drives.
Arabelle> (L) Ashu refuses to say anything until she gets her stomach under-control.
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle (OOC) asks, "that the end of this scene?"
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "And that's the end of the lesson for now. Just remember, you have to build up a charge to Rage..."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle nods
Arabelle> (L) Ashu nodnods.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei asks, "Any questions?"
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "Not really, no..." blink. "...Anywhere in particular I have to do this 'impressing'?"
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "No. And how you impress the universe depends on which one you're in..."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle nos
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle nods
Arabelle> (L) Ashu asks, "... Are w-we done?"
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "X probably uses skilled shooting, Zero probably uses fine swordplay. If you're ready to leave, Ash, we can."
Arabelle> (L) Ashu says, "Ready to leave whenever you are."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle nods.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei smiles and takes her hand. "Oh, Ara...?"
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "?"
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "My name is Neko Dorei now."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "...I see." She nods, hesitantly, but she nods.
Arabelle> (L) Ashu takes Jhanny's hand. "Bye Ara."
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei looked it up and liked the meaning.
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle waves.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "If you ever want to come back, Ara, or if Juni does... Feel free."
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "Until then, we'll visit sometimes."
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, ".." Nod.
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei says, "Take care of yourself, and tell Juni too as well."
Arabelle> (L) Neko-Dorei vanishes, along with Ashu.
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "I will"
*After they actually leave*
Arabelle> (L) Arabelle says, "..." slumps against the wall and finally loses her composure. Since Juni's asleep, she /can/. She, to put it bluntly, just silently sobs.
