Editing Chuubo 2-1 (section)

===SCENE BREAK===
<Hisui> (TIME WARP!)<br>
<Natalia> (rocky horror music!)<br>
<Jasper> (*jumps to the right*)<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Now, everyone knows what happened after that.  Jade got killed by her ex, who happens to be the Headmaster of the Bleak Academy, and also the Sun died.  When that happend, and Dulcinea knew that Jade ''was'' the Sun, something in her head went Ping!<br>
<Dulcinea> (It's just a jump to the ''left'')<br>
<Rinley> (*jumps to the left*)<br>
<@Random_Nerd> And she enacted a ritual to bring back the Sun.  It didn't make Jade come back, but the Sun did.  You're still not quite clear on how that worked, Dulcinea.<br>
<Hisui> (During the sun's death, most of Hisui's family dies, including Aunt Keiko.)<br>
<Natalia> (I was all time in Russia so not effect on me! :-P )<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Meanwhile, in Russia, Natalia goes through some traumatic stuff, and her heart freezes.<br>
* Natalia nod nod<br>
<Dulcinea> am I set up in Old Moulder yet?<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Two years later, she comes to Town.<br>
<@Random_Nerd> You are just beginning to.<br>
<Natalia> she is Nat?<br>
<@Random_Nerd> You haven't made the Engine or whatever your magical equivalent is yet, so your Nightmare Magic is unreliable.<br>
<@Random_Nerd> That's probably why Jade didn't come back to life, that it only worked on the Sun part of her.<br>
<@Random_Nerd> So, let's look at what's happening now.<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Dulcinea has grown apart from those who used to be her friends, including the PCs and Chuubo, because she's spending much more of her focus on Nightmare Magic these days, and has no heart.<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Natalia has just come to Town from Russia.  While it seems vaguely familiar, mostly what it seems is ''suspicious''. Fake.<br>
<Natalia> ?Fake?<br>
<Natalia> I'm here for real this time!<br>
<@Random_Nerd> It's not right.  There are people with stars in their eyes.  You met a ''talking rat'' yesterday.<br>
<Natalia> ah! Is not Natalia the seem fake is town that seem fake.<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Yes.<br>
<Natalia> sorry, misunderstood<br>
<@Random_Nerd> His name was Eduardo!  He says he fought a snake the other day, and was losing, but a girl named Rinley saved him.  He wants you to meet her, because you seem somehow ''important'' to him, and she's his friend because she saved him.<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Now... are Rinley and Hisui friends at this point?<br>
<Rinley> Rinley is trying to currently hide the evidence that she was hiding and protecting a rat prince in her room yesterday.  He bled all over her sewing basket.<br>
<Hisui> (We can be.)<br>
<Rinley> Probably at least casually.  I can see the other shrines trying to band together and save the last of the W. clan... just not enthusiastic enough to actually adopt them.<br>
<Natalia> I'll meet the rat prince!<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Okay, how about this.  Rinley and Hisui are eating at Kakakeru Hut, because it's cheap and they don't have much income and it's not too far from home.<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Dulcinea is there, but she's not really ''with'' them.  She's planning her trip to the Bleak Academy, and she's not really friends with them any more, just someone they used to know.<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Jasper... hmm.  Would she be with Rinley and Hisui, or not?<br>
<Rinley> (How sad.)<br>
<Dulcinea> Dulcinea has animated the plush spider. It's slowly growing in intelligence, and is currently just smart enough to clumsily help with her studies and setting up the place in Old Moulder.<br>
<Jasper> (I don't think so.  She's been sequestering herself since her mom died)<br>
<@Random_Nerd> Okay, then shall we say that you just happen to be there for some reason?<br>
<Jasper> (but with being the new Sun, she feels a little odd.  Perhaps she's on a walk just outside?)<br>
<@Random_Nerd> That works.<br>
<Natalia> and Nat?<br>
<@Random_Nerd> And Prince Eduardo will be bringing Natalia by because he knows that Rinley was going to be there.<br>
<Natalia> she is with Eduard?<br>
<Natalia> sure<br>
<@Random_Nerd> And you know him because you're hunting the Golden Snake, and he fought it recently.<br>
<@Random_Nerd> And you want to meet this girl who helped him.<br>
<@Random_Nerd> This work for everyone?<br>
<Jasper> sounds good<br>
<Natalia> work :-)<br>
<Rinley> Sure!<br>
