[16:13] <&Hebizuka> *Welcome back to the Mazes, Jonah! You have visited 370 rooms. Next special room at the 375th. You are currently feeling satiated and mostly healthy. Your allies Carolyn, Raider and Ayako are overall okay, with Carolyn still afflicted with a broken right hand as the worst to note. !mrooms3 to resume.* [16:14] <Jonah> !mrooms3 [16:14] <&Hebizuka> [ Jonah ] Left door: 229 - Front door: 4034 - Right door: 1140 - Roomstyle: 407 [16:14] <Jonah> Front door. [16:16] <&Hebizuka> *A regular, featureless room. You spot a can of ammunition on the floor...* [16:18] * Jonah yawns as she rubs the sleep out of her eyes, only just barely noticing the can of goodies on the floor. What's in it? [16:18] <&Hebizuka> [Ammunition] Bulk can of 7.62x25mm Tokarev, Surp, 1000 rounds - [379/1000] - Weight: 3.79 [16:21] * Jonah picks the can and starts tossing it from side to side, listening to the surplus ammo bounce around on the inside. "More things to sell. Any of you three got room for this?" [16:21] <~Tempest> [Raider] I can pick that up. [16:22] <&Hebizuka> *Raider relieves you of the bulk can, shoving it in his bag.* [16:25] <Jonah> !mrooms3 [16:25] <&Hebizuka> [ Jonah ] Left door: 3316 - Front door: 5765 - Right door: 3663 - Roomstyle: 450 [16:25] <Jonah> Thanks. Front door again. [16:27] <&Hebizuka> *A locker room. You can spot clothing in one of the lockers, the room is otherwise apparently empty.* [16:29] <Jonah> So, honest question - all the locker and shower rooms and stuff; there's no company or group that's responsible for their maintenance other than the engineers, right? [16:29] <~Tempest> [Carolyn] Maids and butlers do the cleaning and the usual maintenance, what few there needs. Anything serious happens, engies get called. Why? [16:29] * Jonah takes a skim through the other lockers before checking out the loot, in any case; what do we have here, clothes wise? [16:29] <&Hebizuka> *The other lockers are empty.* [16:30] <Jonah> *And clothes wise?* [16:30] <&Hebizuka> [Clothing] Bottom - Pimp pants (Lower body, Legs, Crotch) - AC Light - Blunt-resistant - Weight: 3 - [Cond: Ruined] [16:31] * Jonah just raps at the locker that she's pulling clothing out of, before tossing the cumstained pants to the side. "There's absolutely no security here. You can't even buy a simple padlock, as far as I can tell." [16:31] <Jonah> !mrooms3 [16:31] <&Hebizuka> [ Jonah ] Left door: 892 - Front door: 5424 - Right door: 1060 - Roomstyle: 438 [16:31] <&Hebizuka> *They aren't cumstained, just heavily damaged, like they've been through five or six fires.* [16:32] <Jonah> It's just weird to me, since there's never any security, either. You just have to rely on people not being dicks while you're showering, or change and everything in groups. [16:32] <~Tempest> [Raider] Considering we perform some sort of weird passive teleportation everytime we pass a door behind you, I'd say -being a Contestant- is the hazard to security problems. Normal people usually need to go through the lobby of a residential area. And the lobby guy can refuse entrance to non-residents. [16:33] <~Tempest> [Raider] This society is relying on -YOU- not being a dick to the residents. [16:33] * Jonah stays away from the pants regardless as she heads through the front door, 'cause Heaven knows she can't tell the difference. [16:33] <~Tempest> [Ayako] Does that mean we can do all the wanton shit we wanted if we could get away with it? [16:34] <Jonah> Really? Because I've never seen an actual residential lobby in all my time here. It can't be passive if there's something actively preventing me from seeing this stuff. [16:34] <Jonah> And, Ayako, why is getting away with it a requirement? [16:34] <~Tempest> [Ayako] Let's just say I don't like cops and cops don't like me. [16:35] <Jonah> So If I managed to nab a uniform and a pair of handcuffs for /play,/ that'd be a no go? [16:36] <~Tempest> [Ayako] Depends how you get the uniform and handcuffs. I can help you kill the cop though! No questions asked! [16:36] <~Tempest> [Carolyn] Crazy fool. [16:37] <Jonah> We'd have to find a pretty corrupt cop, though. Like, I dunno, a serial rapist. Someone who wouldn't be mourned. [16:38] <~Tempest> [Ayako] Man who cares about that? Half the police force is corrupt. [16:38] <&Hebizuka> *A meeting office. An oval table, several wheeled chairs, in a corporate style. A gun shop has been set up here! You also spot an unclaimed medical item in the corner.* [16:38] <Jonah> Because my hammer of justice gets super hard after a long, tortuous smiting. [16:39] <~Tempest> [Carolyn] Is that sexual innuendo again? [16:39] <Jonah> Also, hooray, time to unload all of our guns! [16:39] <Jonah> Carolyn, if you need to ask, the answer is yes. [16:39] <~Tempest> [Carolyn] Well shit. I'll never get used to it. [16:39] <Jonah> You'll learn to smile after the first month of engagement, I think. [16:40] <Jonah> That's how it rubbed off of me, after all! [16:40] <~Tempest> [Carolyn] Are you really serious about this engagement ring thing?... Geez. You are. [16:40] <~Tempest> [Raider] So how about we offload the extra loot? [16:41] <Jonah> Sounds like a plan. Hey there, gun guyy. You're about to hit jackpot; hope you have enough money for the payout. [16:41] * Jonah finally heads on over to the merchant proper, smiling giddily like a kid in a candy store. [16:42] <~Tempest> [Merch] That shouldn't be a problem. Show me what you've got. [16:43] * Jonah plops down her bag, and takes a big, deep breath: [16:46] <Jonah> Okay, we have the APS machine pistol, its associated magazines in my right leg rig, the random pistol magazine on my belt - 4 rounds of Mauser, 4 rounds of Chey Tac, the muzzle break, and the EOTech reflex sights. [16:47] <Jonah> The AK magazine too, unless Ayako wants that, all the guns in Ayako's bag, the surplus ammo Raider just picked up - and whatever else you three wanna hock. [17:03] <&Hebizuka> (RPK mag, brake, EOTech not found - sold in previous session) [17:07] <&Hebizuka> SELL [17:07] <&Hebizuka> Stechkin APS - 175 P$ [17:07] <&Hebizuka> Stechkin APS 20-rd mag x2 - 35 P$ [17:07] <&Hebizuka> 9x18mm Makarov +P, x55 - 160 P$ [17:07] <&Hebizuka> PM-63 RAK 15-rd mag x1 - 20 P$ [17:07] <&Hebizuka> 9x18mm Makarov AP, x8 - 15 P$ [17:07] <&Hebizuka> .408 Chey Tac, FMJ, x4 - 32 P$ [17:07] <&Hebizuka> DSA SA58 FAL OSW (without magazine) - 585 P$ [17:07] <&Hebizuka> Colt Mk18 mod0 (without magazine) - 600 P$ [17:07] <&Hebizuka> 7.62x25mm Tokarev, Surp, x379 - 47 P$ [17:07] <&Hebizuka> TOTAL: 1669 P$ [17:07] <&Hebizuka> *Confirm transaction?* [17:08] <Jonah> *Confirm.* [17:10] <&Hebizuka> *Selling items, please wait!* [17:14] <&Hebizuka> (Oops, forgot the 7.92 Mauser. 4 rounds of that is worth 14 P$ for you, meaning your total money is 1683 P$.) [17:16] <&Hebizuka> *The shop owner desires to know if you want cash or credit.* [17:17] <Jonah> Let's keep it as credit; I'd like to see what you've got in stock, first.

[17:20] <Jonah> Anything catch your eye, Carolyn, Ayako? [17:20] <Jonah> Oh - Raider, you got something in mind? [17:21] <~Tempest> [Raider] This AK-12 looks really neat. I didn't know they made these in that caliber. I don't want it though, I'd like to buy some 7.62 NATO ammo instead. [17:21] <~Tempest> [Ayako] Hey! A SG550 for sale! That means he has magazines I need! I want mags and ammo too! [17:22] <~Tempest> [Carolyn] Hey, there's even a P90. Means I can buy ammo and mags for myself too. [17:22] <&Hebizuka> *Your allies are pretty happy to find exactly what they need.* [17:24] <Jonah> And shotguns shells for me. Sounds like a good time; what kinda ammo do you have? [17:25] <~Tempest> [Merch] In 12 gauge? Lemme look. [17:26] <&Hebizuka> *Available 12 gauge ammunition: Tactical buckshot (4 boxes), Rubber baton (2 boxes), Slug (1 box)* [17:28] <Jonah> Alrighty. You guys buy whatever you need first, I'll foot the bill then worry about my ammo later. [17:29] <&Hebizuka> *Ayako chooses first.* [17:30] <&Hebizuka> *There are 2 boxes of 5.56 NATO left for sale - One box of Surp, and one box of cold HP ammunition. In addition, the dealer has 5 magazines compatible with the SG550 ; four 20-rounders and one 30-rounder. Ayako wants to buy the 30-rounder and the box of C-HP.* [17:30] <&Hebizuka> *Raider browses the catalog.* [17:31] <&Hebizuka> *There are 6 boxes of 7.62 NATO, all of them FMJ. Raider orders three.* [17:31] <&Hebizuka> *Carolyn browses the gear for sale.* [17:32] <~Tempest> [Carolyn] Damn shame there's no .357 Magnum.

[17:36] <~Tempest> (Raider*) [17:36] <~Tempest> [Ayako] I was thinking the same thing! [17:36] <Jonah> You don't need to ask permission next time, by the way. [17:36] <~Tempest> [Carolyn] As surprising as it may sound, I kind of want to kick butt with our new gear, too. [17:37] <Jonah> You're all crazy, but fine. So long as you guys agree not to go crazy and start shooting up some activists or cops or whatever. [17:37] <Jonah> Oh, and shopkeep - add those two boxes of rubber baton, and the box of slugs, too.

[18:03] <~Tempest> [Ayako] Sweet! No need to do cop hunting! [18:03] <Jonah> !mrooms1 [18:03] <&Hebizuka> [ Jonah ] Unique door: 243 - Roomstyle: 113 [18:04] <Jonah> We'll play around with this as soon as we find a bed. Let's get goin' for now. [18:05] <&Hebizuka> *You've reached again Lance's bionics workshop.* [18:06] <Jonah> Noooooot that bed. [18:06] <Jonah> Although... hey, Carolyn. You're not fond of the SIE aug in my head, right? [18:06] <~Tempest> [Carolyn] Please, keep it if you think it's useful! Just don't use it on me. [18:07] <Jonah> Mmm. Okay, I won't. [18:07] <Jonah> Hey, Lance - I'd like to swap out the SIE for something a little more visceral. [18:07] <Jonah> That #19 aug looked pretty fun. [18:07] <~Tempest> [Lance] Jonah, my good friend! It is great to see you. Why, please look at my catalog and tell me what would suit you. Was the SIE fun to use, at least? [18:08] <Jonah> It was. But the future Mrs. there gets nervous, and I want to reassure her that nothing's effecting her judgement when I do something special. [18:09] <Jonah> The things you do for love, right? [18:11] <~Tempest> [Lance] Very well, my friend. And I would not know much about that. All my love is devoted to my GLORIOUS job. [18:13] <Jonah> Never had to compromise for your job? That's quite lucky. [18:13] <~Tempest> [Lance] In any case, please disrobe and lie down on my operating table. I understand that you wish to replace your SIE with a Combat Sensorial Enhancement? [18:13] <Jonah> Mhmm. How much will it cost me? [18:13] <~Tempest> [Lance] Let's see. I shall refund you 825 P$ for the removal of the SIE. The CSE costs 2750 P$ and will use 10 more Power Pool units... though that should not be a problem, you have enough to cover that right now. I require 1925 P$ for that service. [18:13] <~Tempest> [Carolyn] Need me to plop the cash I'm carrying for you? [18:13] <Jonah> Please do. [18:13] * Jonah plops down whatever rest is necessary. [18:13] <&Hebizuka> *Carolyn drops 749 P$.* [18:14] <&Hebizuka> *You currently carry 624 P$, which is not enough to cover the rest; an extra 552 P$ is required.* [18:15] <Jonah> Phone call to the bank it is. [18:15] <&Hebizuka> *Warning: this is the last unit of your battery. Confirm the phone call?* [18:16] <Jonah> *Yes. I'm flipping it out, punching in the number, and transferring 552 P$ from my account to Lance's credit.* [18:16] <&Hebizuka> *You have moved 552 P$ from your bank account to Bionics Workshop credit. 480 P$ remaining in bank account.* [18:17] <&Hebizuka> *Done with transactions over the phone?* [18:19] <Jonah> *Yes.* [18:19] <&Hebizuka> *Your phone battery promptly dies afterwards.* [18:19] <~Tempest> [Lance] Yes... I have received the transaction. With this and the cash, I can cover the costs of the new operation. Ready to proceed when you are, my friend. [18:21] <Jonah> *One last SIE for the road - how's Carolyn feeling about this?* [18:21] <&Hebizuka> [SIE] Subject: Carolyn Knight || Morale: Good (unchanged) [18:21] * Jonah disrobes, takes a deep breath - and tosses a wink to both her girls before she goes under. [18:22] <&Hebizuka> *Lance prepares the surgical gloves, his tools, and the new bionic implant. The operation begins, you are injected with a horseload of anaesthesiants, which promptly put you to sleep.* [18:23] <&Hebizuka> [SIE] Shutting down. Goodbye! [18:24] <&Hebizuka> *The Social Interaction Enhancer is disabled and extracted from your brain.* [18:26] <&Hebizuka> *Lance replaces it with the bulkier Combat Sensorial Enhancement. Even while still asleep, as soon as it comes online, you feel a sharp sensation, as if lightning struck your very senses and -visibly- increased your reaction time.* [18:26] <&Hebizuka> *An unspecified amount of time later, you wake up. The combination of increased alertness and increased reaction time makes you feel very jumpy. You feel like you can shoot faster than your own shadow!* [18:28] <~Tempest> [Lance] Welcome back, Jonah. With the CSE, you will be an unbeatable combat machine! An opponent with the same weapons as you will always lose thanks to your speed and reaction time advantages. You shall be the TERMINATOR of ALL that stands against you! [18:28] * Jonah stretches a bit, before tuning out Lance's typical speeches and getting dressed. It's only once she's fully dressed that she looks Carolyn in the eye. [18:28] <~Tempest> *The bionics engineer refrains from performing an evil cackle, but he looks about as excited.* [18:29] <Jonah> Carolyn Knight? [18:29] <~Tempest> [Carolyn] Uh, yes? Why are you so formal, Jonah? [18:29] <~Tempest> [Raider] Oh boy. [18:29] <Jonah> I love you. [18:29] <Jonah> These are my true feelings,s tripped bare of any and all lies. [18:30] <Jonah> So, whatever you feel; that, I hope, is honest too. [18:30] <~Tempest> *The shrine maiden doesn't reply. She just blushes deep red, unsure how to answer. Raider looks nonchalant, and Ayako goes 'Aww!'.* [18:30] <Jonah> You don't - we don't have to do anything about it, if your faith and calling is more important. [18:30] <Jonah> But... after being together for so long, you - you /must/ feel some sort of obligation towards me. [18:30] <Jonah> So... I'd like to hear your reply. [18:31] <~Tempest> [Carolyn] Well... I'm very happy you feel that way, that's for sure, even if your silly antics get on my nerves sometimes... I stuck with you anyway, so... Maybe you're doing something right? [18:31] <~Tempest> [Carolyn] I'm just unsure what to say at all. I just feel... very happy? [18:31] * Jonah starts beaming like the sun, a shit-eating grin plastered on her face as heart continues to pound in her chest. [18:32] <Jonah> Once upon a time, you asked me to ask for permission first; so - may I kiss you? [18:32] <~Tempest> [Raider] I feel like the Mazes will collapse any minute. [18:32] <~Tempest> [Ayako] Don't tempt fate! [18:32] <~Tempest> [Carolyn] *Sigh, smile.* Just this once. [18:33] <~Tempest> *Lance looks like he's about to tear up. He mutters something about the advancement of humanity through love and utter, shit-tearing bionic power.* [18:36] * Jonah takes Carolyn into her hands, and it's impossible to hide the sheer, child-like wonder dancing through the paladin's body. She ends up cradling the miko, holding her so gently it was as if she was afraid Carolyn would shatter in her hands. [18:36] * Jonah kisses her love simply and cleanly, letting the electricity dance through two pairs of soft lips.

You swear you saw him smirk for a half-second.* [18:40] <&Hebizuka> *Next special room at the 385th.* [18:40] * Jonah harrumphs, but her heart isn't in it. She doesn't let go of Carolyn's lower body, though - even as she puts the shrine maiden down. [18:40] <~Tempest> [Carolyn] Let go of my butt. [18:41] * Jonah can't resist one last grope, but she does eventually comply. [18:41] <Jonah> Sorry - I really can't help it. My heart's just pounding like crazy.

[21:28] <Jonah> !mrooms3 [21:28] <&Hebizuka> [ Jonah ] Left door: 6916 - Front door: 5165 - Right door: 1930 - Roomstyle: 365 [21:29] <&Hebizuka> *In a fit of completely symbolic dumb luck (Gotta love that 0.009% chance)...* [21:29] <&Hebizuka> [Amulet] You have found the Amulet of the West! [21:30] <Jonah> Carolyn? [21:30] <Jonah> Is this enough to say the Gods approve? [21:30] <~Tempest> [Carolyn] Will you take me home with you? [21:30] <Jonah> Yes. Yes yes, /absolutely/ yes. [21:31] * Jonah doesn't ask for permission when she starts peppering Carolyn with kisses. [21:31] <~Tempest> [Raider] Hey, hey, hold on. [21:31] <~Tempest> [Raider] That's it? It's the end of the line for you guys? [21:32] <Jonah> Yup. I am leaving this shithole and going back home. I'll do weal the implants and junk when I get there. [21:32] <Jonah> Ayako, you're free to come. It'll be lonely without you. [21:33] <Jonah> Raider - I uh, I don't have enough cash to keep you on retainer forever. [21:33] <Jonah> But you can come too, if you'd like. You would not believe the size of my mansion. Fresh outdoors, no one coming to kill you. [21:33] <~Tempest> [Raider] Well... It's really a first for me, but I'm going to miss being under your employment. It was a honor working for the craziest contract I've ever had in my whole life. [21:33] <Jonah> It's /great./ [21:33] <~Tempest> [Raider] I'm sorry Jonah. I can't come. [21:33] <Jonah> Hey, no worries. You gotta help the next crazy fucker with more money than sense. Oh, before we go - you still got a phone charge? [21:34] <~Tempest> [Raider] There needs to be someone back there to tell all about you in every bar of the Mazes after all. I'm going to retire. [21:34] <~Tempest> [Raider] After -that-, this job will never be the same anymore for me. [21:34] <~Tempest> *Raider hands you his phone battery, swapping your dead one for his.* [21:34] <Jonah> You've certainly earned a nice pension after bleeding me out to dry. [21:34] * Jonah dials her bank. [21:34] <~Tempest> [Raider] Here. Won't need this anymore. Use it for whatever you need. [21:35] <&Hebizuka> *You have reached the online banking services.* [21:36] <Jonah> Hiyo. This is Jonah, and I'd like to transfer all my credit and cash to Jackie Mueller's account. [21:36] <&Hebizuka> [Phone] You will be left with 0 P$ of funds in every of your accounts. Are you sure? [21:36] <Jonah> Yup yup. Fucker's earned a retirement bonus. [21:36] <~Tempest> [Raider] Please, you don't need to do this. I've made 5k with your contracts alone. [21:37] <&Hebizuka> [Phone] Transferring funds... [21:37] <&Hebizuka> [Phone] Transfer complete. Wired 3339 P$ to Jackie Muller's account. [21:37] <Jonah> Well, you're about to earn 5k plus a generous tip. But I do need one last thing. As a favor, between friends? Or at least, between a merc and the funnest, most interesting client he's ever had? [21:38] <~Tempest> [Raider] Nearly 8300 bucks... Gods damn. [21:38] <~Tempest> [Raider] I'm listening. What do you need? [21:39] * Jonah unholsters the Armsel Protecta, before taking her backpack off and taking out all of its ammo - and the shells in her vest and rigs, as well. [21:39] <Jonah> So, you said you don't need the phone anymore, right? So feel free to sell whatever you need to carry all of this. [21:39] <Jonah> But I'd like you to get this customized a bit. I wanted to do this in person, myself, but I can trust you. [21:40] <~Tempest> [Raider] I can't accept. It'd be like asking me to carry your name. It's your weapons, Jonah, this is the sort of thing you should be hanging over your fireplace, not giving me. The money, I can understand. But keep the guns. They'll be the proof of a good story. Trust me, nothing is more satisfying than showing what you made it out with. [21:40] <~Tempest> [Raider] I dunno if you plan to have kids or anything but I know that if I had any, I'd do that for them. [21:40] <Jonah> Raider, I'm grateful you think I'm that generous. [21:40] <Jonah> But this isn't for you, ya dumb lug. [21:41] <Jonah> Her name's Idle Siren. I always pictured her in metallic blue, with a cheesy music note alongside the grip. After you get her named, colored, and shining, I want you to offer it at a shrine. Alongside at least 50 shells of each ammo type under the sun. [21:42] <Jonah> The Gods helped me until the very end. They blessed me with the love of my life, the fuck of my life, and the best merc money can buy. [21:42] <Jonah> The least I can do is return the favor, give another poor sod a fighting chance. [21:42] <Jonah> We've been under contract for forever. If there's any sense of obligation you have for me - please let me give my respects. [21:43] <~Tempest> [Raider] Jonah... [21:43] <Jonah> What can I say? [21:43] <Jonah> I'm a Paladin. [21:43] <~Tempest> [Raider] Fine. [21:44] <Jonah> Thank you. [21:44] <~Tempest> *The soon-to-be ex mercenary removes a bottle of motor oil to make space in his bag, to accomodate for the Protecta.* [21:44] * Jonah breathes easily after that weight off her chest. all that's left is to - combine, them, somehow. Maybe one on the ground, each cardinal direction in the shape of a cross. Or maybe just mashing them together. [21:45] <~Tempest> [Raider] If you insist, I'll do this for you. [21:45] <Jonah> Ayako, you've been pretty silent for a while now. [21:45] <Jonah> Gonna come with, or keep Raider company? [21:45] <Jonah> Thank you. You're always gonna be in my prayers. [21:45] <Jonah> The Gods are damn generous - the rest of your days are gonna be filled with hookers and blow. [21:46] <Jonah> Or, you know, whatever else revs your engine. [21:47] <~Tempest> [Raider] I'm too old for hookers and blow. But I appreciate the thought nonetheless. [21:47] <~Tempest> *With your faithful Protecta in stow, Raider glances at you once more, then military salutes, as if to drive the point home.* [21:47] <~Tempest> [Ayako] Hey, Jonah? [21:47] <Jonah> Yeah, Ayako? [21:48] <~Tempest> [Ayako] You fukken bet I wanna come with you. No more cops to look at me funny! [21:48] * Jonah salutes right back, with absolutely no tears welling in her eyes. [21:48] <Jonah> Okay, but before we go, do me a favor and close your eyes? [21:48] <~Tempest> [Raider] Oh, one more thing... We need to do this officially, Jonah. [21:48] <~Tempest> [Raider] I need you to dismiss me and relieve me of my contract so that I can go. [21:50] <~Tempest> *Ayako closes her eyes and waits expectantly.* [21:51] <Jonah> Jackie Mueller. For your impeccable bravery under fire, unwavering loyalty, money bought though it may be, and patience for suffering the likes of me; I, Jonah Knight, hereby dismiss and relieve you of any worries for the rest of your days, on my honor as a Paladin of Heaven. [21:51] <Jonah> Thank you for your service. [21:54] <~Tempest> [Raider] I'm the one thanking you for all of this. [21:55] <Jonah_> Hey, whatever floats your boat. Praise me, praise me more. [21:55] <Jonah_> Now, Ayako - close your eyes before we go? I have a present for you, too. [21:55] <~Tempest> *Ayako had her eyes closed all that time.* [21:55] <Jonah_> Perfect. [21:55] <~Tempest> [Carolyn] Oh man. Don't give her what I think you're gonna give her. [21:56] <Jonah_> I've already taken your last name, dear. You know me too well by now. [21:56] * Jonah_ gently takes Ayako's hands - and slaps the handcuffs onto her once the paladin's gotten the tanuki's arms behind her back. [21:57] <~Tempest> [Ayako] Eeeep! [21:57] <~Tempest> [Ayako] You lewd, lewd, LEWD paladin! [21:57] * Jonah then leans over to whisper in Ayako's ear, so soft and gentle that Carolyn can't hear. "You're fucking /mine/ now, Ayako. I'll make you forget about your husband and all those shitty drunken adventures." [21:58] <~Tempest> [Ayako] Ooo, this gonna be -hot-. [21:58] <Jonah> Mhmm. [21:58] <~Tempest> [Carolyn] And here all my regrets are coming back at full speed. *sigh!* [21:58] <~Tempest> [Carolyn] Screw regrets. Way too late now. [21:58] <Jonah> That's right. I'll screw all the regret right out of you. [21:58] <Jonah> *To Endgame! If I can figure out how to get there.* [22:01] <&Hebizuka> *You have all four Cardinal Amulets. To leave the Mazes and complete your final objective, you must invoke the deities, which will transport you to the Endgame. Warning: there is no turning back. Your decision will be final and irrevocable. Do you really want to complete this run?* [22:09] <Jonah> Qīnglóng, Azure Dragon, Guardian of the East, He Who is As Hushed As The Wood. Zhūquè, Vermillion Bird, Guardian of the South, He Who Is As Fierce As The Flame. Báihǔ, White Tiger, Guardian of the South, He Who is As Stalwart As The Metals. Xuánwǔ, Black Tortoise, Guardian of the West, He Who is As Swift As The Waters. [22:09] <Jonah> For your guidance and blessings, I Thank You. For your trials and tribulations, I Thank You. [22:10] <~Tempest> *Carolyn facepalms, but she still feels light-hearted at how excessively formal Jonah looks like.* [22:10] <Jonah> And now, I ask for Your blessings once more. Please, return Me and Mine to where We belong. [22:10] <&Hebizuka> *The amulets fuse into one before your eyes!* [22:10] * Jonah also not-so-subtlely flips her wife off when she hears the facepalm. [22:11] <&Hebizuka> *Before you know it, a flash of light blasts out of the fused amulet, blinding you and your remaining two allies.* [22:11] <&Hebizuka> *For a moment, you can't see or hear anything.* [22:13] <&Hebizuka> *When you can see again, you're unsure whether your eyes are playing tricks on you, because all you see is white. But you come to realize that yes, you, Carolyn and Ayako are in a seemingly endless white area.* [22:13] <&Hebizuka> *Maybe THE White Area.* [22:14] <~Tempest> [Ayako] Are we tripping or is this real? [22:15] <Jonah> Heaven's not this boring. [22:15] <Jonah> Soooooooo. Three breast gropes it's Hebi's doing. [22:16] * &Hebizuka appears. [22:16] <&Hebizuka> Good answer, Jonah. [22:16] <&Hebizuka> Long time no see. [22:17] <&Hebizuka> You certainly have made a long, long way since I first gave you your starting gear. [22:17] <&Hebizuka> It feels like years. [22:17] <Jonah> A year, actually. [22:18] <Jonah> A year and two months, if my internal clock's still ticking. [22:18] <Jonah> Give or take that trip to Hell - by the way, since you're the only one who could reasonably expect to know. [22:18] <Jonah> I /did/ in fact beat up and then rape Amodeus, right? [22:18] <Jonah> Asmodeus* [22:18] <Jonah> Because these two beauties still won't believe me. [22:18] * &Hebizuka shrugs, smiling but remaining enigmatic. Neither denying nor acknowledging. [22:19] <Jonah> Good enough for me. [22:19] <&Hebizuka> What you /did/ do, as the Contestant, by surviving through the challenges and the hurdles you have been put through, you have proven your worth. For that I wish to extend my congratulations. You have done what anyone reasonable would've expected to see you fail. [22:20] <&Hebizuka> Now... I want to make an offer. [22:20] <Jonah> Pffffffffffffffft. You're still a raging cunt, you realize. And you wouldn't have chosen me unless you knew it was gonna happen. [22:20] <Jonah> Thanks for the faith, by the by. If it weren't for you I'd never have met Carolyn or Ayako. [22:20] * Jonah promptly shuts up for the offer. [22:21] * &Hebizuka summons three doors. [22:21] <&Hebizuka> I did promise that should you reunite the Amulets, you would be given the right to return home. And my offer is a choice, where this is still one of the options. However... I can extend two other possibilities. If you so desire, for any reason you may have, I can send you back in the Mazes. Or... [22:23] <&Hebizuka> ...You can discover exactly what exactly you are a Contestant for if you choose to follow me in my quarters. I haven't put you through all of this just so I could watch you with popcorn. There is a reason you are still alive, but I can only explain if you are ready to give up your right to return home in order to know the truth, for the simple reason that what you will learn may not allow you to leave. [22:25] <&Hebizuka> Jonah, the decision rests in your hands. Take any time you need to think about it. [22:25] <&Hebizuka> Left door: Go home - Middle door: Go back to the Mazes - Right door: Learn the truth [22:25] <Jonah> You say that like you don't expect my answer. Come on, Hebi, you've seen me enough to figure it out. [22:26] <&Hebizuka> You must still clearly give me your answer. It's a matter of principle. [22:26] <Jonah> I've played this game before. Not the same setting, not the same opponents, but definitely the same game. Let the next poor sod figure it out, Heaven knows you won't stop here. [22:26] <Jonah> Besides, we both know that there's a non-zero chance I'll be back here /anyways./ In one form or another. [22:27] * Jonah turns to the left door, for once in her life. [22:27] <Jonah> Carolyn Ayako? Ladies first. [22:27] <Jonah> Carloyn,* [22:27] <~Tempest> [Carolyn] I know it won't matter if you want to go home, but for the time being, we're still in the Mazes. As Lady Hebizuka says... it's your decision. Just know I'll follow you wherever you decide to go. [22:28] <~Tempest> [Ayako] ... Uh. What she said. In less words. [22:28] <Jonah> My life is with you two. [22:29] <Jonah> But my preference is really to just go back home. I miss sun. And wind. And I have a lot of things that'll blow your minds. [22:29] * Jonah opens the left handed door and gestures to them both. "Like I said - ladies first." [22:29] <&Hebizuka> Final decision? [22:31] <Jonah> Mhmm. I've left enough of a mark. And I need to have a talking to with some guys who /fucking forgot to rez me after I kicked the bucket the first time./ [22:32] <&Hebizuka> *You pass the final Left Door - perhaps the first and last time you're not going straight ahead ahead in your entire career - along with Carolyn and Ayako, the two allies that have stuck with you.* [22:32] * Jonah takes a little moment, just pause right there, as she slips on her platinum ring and heads off for fresh air. [22:32] <&Hebizuka> Goodbye Jonah, you have escaped the Mazes!
