11th Blastia: Nursing herself and preparing for fight

[famed_mage]

*Since the Kerrigan incident, Rita has been limping around the castle. She is still hurting from being impaled by all those spikes, but that hasn't stopped her. She has been working of her Spell cards, fine tuning her Energy Sword(trying to turn it into a whip), researching in the libary, and making new potions and devices. She will also try to

A-ah... Rita. Can I help you...?

*she's still shaken up by the whole zerg thing*

[famed_mage]

I was hoping you can show me more about your Danmaku and spell cards.

[pet_moonrabbit]

W-well, I guess I could...

... what did you have in mind exactly?

[famed_mage]

Well, I have turned some of my spells into spell cards... but I have yet to learn how to use Danmaku.

[darkmastern]

*Well, Rita doesn't really need to find Beryl too often because Beryl is making sure that Rita doesn't do something to reopen her wounds, and also making sure no random demons try to attack her in her weakened state*

Ahh, so diligent even after a such a deadly experience, I have to admire your enthusiasm, but don't over do it ok.

[famed_mage]

Well, I think we may have to overdo it a little Raspberyl... since I think I found a book that will help me teach you my magic, and you teach me yours.

[darkmastern]

Really? That's TOTALY BADASS! It feels like forever since I've been able to learn new magic spells!

But we'll need to take frequent breaks because I'm not going to cause you to overexert yourself.

[famed_mage]

Fine, we will take breaks. Also bring those doughnuts again... They were good.

*Eirin flags Rita down near her lab. Inside, there's quite a pile of different organ samples from Zerg remnants.*

... Rita, I could use some opinions on something I've been working on.

[famed_mage]

Sure, be happy to help. Are you feeling better though? I mean, you only just got cured, thanks to Urd and yourself.

[yagokoro_eirin]

... That's part of the thing. The psychic components are disabled... But I actually avoided removing the biological components, for the moment. It provides for some handy samples in the meanwhile.

They'll necrose and decompose over time, so I don't need to worry. Kerrigan's hive structures were largely built for short generations - very well suited for fast evolution, but not so convenient for studying structures trying to produce a controlled emulation of their biological achievements.

[famed_mage]

Have you thought about deep freezing samples, so you can study them over a long period of time?

*What's Mao doing? Playing video games. Or at least, that's what it looks like on the outset.

Anyone caring to notice will see that he is playing against Baal in all three Disgaea games, crunching numbers and looking at all setups

Rita can walk in on him without her brain breaking, I swear!*

[famed_mage]

*Rita walks in, and notices the games you are playing.*

... Are you playing video games... with yourself in them....

*Brain starting to fizzle a little.*

[maocontent]

I told you, they're history games!

[famed_mage]

But... I see you in them...

Wait, you fought Baal before?

[highondaylight]

... Hey, you.

*Rita, a loli has just slipped into your workshop while you're working on the sword-to-whip transformation.*

[famed_mage]

*Turns to look at you with an annoyed face*

Don't you know how to knock?!

[highondaylight]

The door was already open. *... You're not sure if she's lying or not.*

That's beside the point, and I don't have too much time to waste. You're a weapons researcher, correct?

[famed_mage]

... whatever.

And you can call me that if you want, though I research everything.
