so putting it bluntly save the cheerlader or save the world?

oi ya, mysterious stranger bumping into our investigation, Sprite said (the magician not the drink) the bones belonged to a neko chick, also they used to bomb to seal down the temple and, probably it was just a clumsy-cat caught in the blast,

anyways, Sprite can ya tell me more about the two locations? seeing how we'll only have time to visit one again, aye?

ohyeh, and i'll think about that note later, but right now i'm kinda busy watching Amrican Idol

what've you done last week eh? wasnt it numina week? anyways lvl 6 now, i'll reach ten in time and show ya how proper tanking are been done

16. April 2009, Vadember, Nekomimi Investigation, Personal Notes

good thing: i found the place
bad thing: kittens did too
good thing: i found the emerald
bad thing: they smashed it (beats me why...)
good thing: i found BCN
bad thing: she's not a friendly kitten (note to self: never listen to anyone!)
good thing: uhm noo.. pretty much that's it


things to do tomorrow(!) after sleeping(!!!) it's almost morning in japan!

- have Temperature Sprite translate the text on the photo
- the emerald too while we're at it
- save amanda, she looks nice...
- [strikethrough]laundry[/strikethrough] (can wait actually...)
- get a [u]dog[u]!!!!!


things not to do tomorrow
- die
- turn into cat
- laundry

sidenote: why destroying the emerald? isn't that something we should do? is BCN trying to stop the turning? and if she's, and if she's a third party in this game, did she kidnapped amanda? or the original badguy did, and now he using her as a bargaining chip against BCN?

seems like grinny wanna go for the emerald no matter what, and gotta admit neither of us is too popular down in atlas park, so gettin' the statue would be a problem anyway.

let's just knock in a few family doors and see what the gangs have for us.

hope yer longbow buddies will take good care of the statue though...

yes, yes i'll be drinking again. but i'll do it early, so i can make it this time. my tank is almost lvl 3 so there shouldnt be a problem. what lvls are you lots anyway?

well, whatever, we wastin' time here, let's just go and get that relic before they steal it

sooo we won't let them steal the items from wherever they are, instead we bring 'em home and let them steal it from us

my friend, the evil genius uses catgirls to fight, righty? why not grab the magical statue then, which can control catgirls?

anyways, i think we just wasting our times with actually obtaining the relics. i mean for what point? the bad guy will be still out there, plotting a new plot, scheming schemes. better keep an eye on them (the relics) from the shadows, let them steal it. and then follow the thief back to the nest. we still gotta free the girls and we have no clue where to look. this might be our only chance

what's with the big silence? is this still on omega?

oi blue, we still don't know fer sure if the Maestro pulls the strings here. in fact all we has are just theories.
no point sitting on out [censored] i guess, let's go get that statue (uhm... we talkin about a small statue here right? like a couple inches? cos if it's a 10 feet tall 3 ton statue, i'm pretty sure it's safe wherever it is...)

(yeah, vadember is a villain just for you to know. or in this case more like an anti-hero)


15. April 2009, Vadember, Nekomimi Investigation, Personal Notes

facts:

- cats in caves. turning people ->failed
- prime suspect: Maestro of Mayhem
- Maestro is depowered -> need magical power
- book needed at temple (book missing, get it back. guard temple)
- does turning need book at temple? what else turning need? ->cats obtained book, Amanda, BCN.
- possible targets emerald,statue
- cats break into lab, knock out Temperature Sprite
- stole: book, Amanda, Black Cat Neko, things they needed

why kidnap people:
- Black Cat Neko: cat, Maestro obsessed with her.
- Amanda: strong psychic (mind control? cat control?-> Bast statue)
- kidnapped at all?

suspects:

- Maestro of Mayhem, depowered, obviously needed help
- Leader Catalina mentioned (possibly Maestro)
- who helped Maestro???

others involved:
- Amanda: psychic, kind, naive->manipulatable?
- Black Cat Neko: cat, has history with Maestro, loyal to the end -> to anyone?
- Grin: hero, working for MA Investigation
- Temperature Sprite: magic expert, speak cattish

notes:
- cats need to be controlled -> uncontrolled by standard -> not working for leader (Maestro?) by standard
- emerald does turn some girls into cats -> might or might not needed for permanent turning
- only turning girls into cats -> i'm safe -> go home, watch LotR instead?

things to do:

- get relics (which one?)
- locate Amanda (telepathically? -> ask telepath! through hospital teleport? -> ask nurses!
- watch The Two Towers (extended edition)

hey blue, it's me, Vadember. gotta agree with grin here. that mastro boy (girl?) sure worth a check, but first we gonna need every info you can dig up on him (her?).

also while the science guys are workin on the bones, ask them to look for a way to reserve the turning process (as i understand these neko's were human right), i'd hate myself stuck with lickin' my butt. (also the whole 'joining' seems not so voulenteerely. we might turn back kitty-cats into humans.)

any ideas what the time bomb has to with it? i just cant make connection... maybe nothing... then again maybe the turning is just not their real plan, just the part of it. can you find out who used similar device before? i'd like to have a few words with him.

contact me as soon as you have anything.

oh almost forgot, do you know any good cartographer. someone who can make something out of our map? my gut wanna visit that place

okay, i'm not sure i get it right, but after completing the mission, i should post my theories here in this thread right?

well:

15. April 2009, Vadember, Nekomimi Investigation, Personal Notes

i visited the caves.

"My contacts have also observed figures entering these new tunnels last night. But it was too dark to get any real details." - you said, right?

pretty sure, the dark figures were the cat ladies, can't say for 100% sure though, we have no idea how many players are in this game so the last night visitors might been others

now, the leader Catalina said

"Have you collapsed the cave as our leader demanded, now hand me the book." - so it would be nice to have someone dig it out, whatever they wnted to hide under the rocks

"Protect the temple from the heretics!" she also said, so it's very probable tehy buried the temple. i'd still advise to dig it out, simply becouse the cats want it otherwise

"All will join us." - now by that i hardly think he meant just an invite into their organization. they didnt look complately human, so my guess would be that they wanna turn people into whatever they are...

"And those who do not join, will be killed." ..or kill us.

"All you can do will be for naught when our leader finds out what you have done." - this could be a problem...


there were some other clues too:

Collar:
[ QUOTE ]
You found this collar in the cave, it is of the same style the Nekomimi wore.

[/ QUOTE ]

can't make much out of it yet.. cats wears collars? might be some connection with the turning thing. maybe it will be helpful later

Map:
[ QUOTE ]
This map almost crackles as you unroll it, it appears to be a map of a forest from almost 10,000 years ago.

[/ QUOTE ]

map of something. might be interresting to check it out

Orb and Bone
[ QUOTE ]
The glass orb is very pretty, it almost sparkles when you look at it. Looking closely you can see a swirling mist inside. As a good measure you decide to take the bones as well.

[/ QUOTE ]

no idea here, the specialist might say something smart about them later

The Book:
[ QUOTE ]
Catalina was carrying this book when you defeated her, it appears to be in a language you cannot understand and bound in a material you do not recognise.

[/ QUOTE ]

seems like it was needed for whatever they wanted to do (turning?) might be nice to know whats in it

sidenote: temple, ancient book, creepy orb, bones. smells like magic.

things to do:

- show orb and bones to Temperature Sprite he might have an idea about them.
- show Book to Temperature Sprite, have him translate it. if there's some rital written in it, have him work out countermeasures
- show map to Temperature Sprite, he might know something about it. after that decide, if the place worth visiting, have someone visit it.
- have someone dig temple(?) out, have Temperature Sprite examine it
- have someone ask around cat-like heroes/heroines. show them collar, they might have an idea about it. try to locate leader
- involve a tracker. cats like to mark their stuffs. there might be some scent left on the clues. have trakcer track them
- once, had everyone do something, drink beer, watch TV

sidenote: all clues but the book were just lying around. book is important. they need it. keep it secured.
sidenote: that's a helluva lots of things to do. have Bluedarky involve more people, possibly one more magic expert

Much drink to down mate?

[/ QUOTE ]

oh, you!

sry fellas, seems like i can't make it tonight. again.

gonna catch up with some reeeally old friend, whom i haven't seen in a reeeeally long time.

but fear not, one of these weekends i'll just make it...

[ QUOTE ]
*reminds me of a time I misunderstood what a barman was saying to me once and almost punched his lights out.

[/ QUOTE ]

yes, we'd like to hear more about that

meh... i'm really sorry about this night guys. we sat down for 2-3 beers with real life dudes after school and before we knew it was midnight. but i wont miss numina for sure.
see ya next week

okay, now ya complately lost me. so this week we try out our new team on defiant, and next week is Numina run on Union?

anyway, about the powersets, Knightly the only thing for sure is i'm gonna run a tank. willpower, fire, dark or whatever i don't know yet and i'll change my mind at least ten times till we start

(also why is it called all new, i wonder... becos, you know. it's not. i mean how come there is two all new flyin circus?)

i'm okay with invading defiant

actually i'm kinda interrested, but a lot depends on the time you plan to run this...

anyway, i'd most likely pick a brute. either the ss/wp you suggested or a fire/fire

Tanky Tank lvl 2 WP/stone tank waiting in atlas park to kick some serious [censored] (though i might just change it to Fire/Stone. or fire/fire for kickass AoE)

anyways
theoritical question:
how do you feel about trying out a little pvp with the circus?

sign me up with Sonic Speed, sonic/archery defender pls. alternatively i can bring a blaster or a scrapper though, if we are short on those things

the raid team (well, most of it)

thx very much for organizing this

well we seem to have plenty blaster, so i can switch to my scrapper if needed (also got a sonic def sitting on 41, it's not likely but just might hit 45 till next week)
