Milky's lookin' for a demon! Daedrous in his Metamorph Prison has a number trapped, so he could just use one of those.

Brunnengus will be able to do that after he gets some of his Akuron training, but not at the moment.

It's not like they're mutually exclusive. If you can get a sufficiently strong and/or unique demon to power the necroplasm as well as join Milky's power..
By the way: If you can find some way to boost Milky's turns (maybe using Temporal Relapse Kata), then Milky can start using boss shifts.Which would rule.

There are indeed time-shifting demons, either with innate abilities or who learned such, and even worse demonic influences found in the nooks and crannies of the old worlds.
It sounds like you need to consult with some expert demon hunters...

You find Firebrand eating at a Chinese buffet. He holds up his hand, mouth still full of rib meat, and says "Ah, the Renn-Mitte has come to ask for some assistance! Sit, have a plate."

You had gotten information that led you to Bali. Just a hint: Don't go in your Milky form. Either be a different-looking Renn-Mitte or a human or other race.

Go dressed up as a milky fan lol. but yeah show up to the location incognitus and scope it out.

Post by Frederic Bourgault-Christie on Dec 12, 2005 20:16:16 GMT -5
That's sort of the problem. There is no location. It's in or around Bali, but that's all you know. You'll have to do good ol'fashioned investigation.

oh ok, well head to bali and look for some shady activity.

Post by Frederic Bourgault-Christie on Dec 13, 2005 22:41:26 GMT -5
Shady activity is EVERYWHERE in Bali. You can find some contacts (Xeno has many, as do you from your hacking days), do some investigation, talk to the police, what have you.

Post by Frederic Bourgault-Christie on Dec 14, 2005 0:30:11 GMT -5
The best contact you know is an ex-girlfriend, a hacker and DJ named Crystal Mix. She lives in an apartment over the club she owns.

Post by Frederic Bourgault-Christie on Dec 14, 2005 5:01:51 GMT -5
Milky walks into the heady mix of sweat, sound, scent, and sex that is Crystal Mix. Two DJs are currently engaging in a rap battle, referencing modern UEG foreign policy, conversely insulting and defending a local demon gang, and bragging about their Navis. All this is overlaid upon a matrix of six-dimensional reality vibrating sound. Making his way through the bodies, Milky gets to the elevator that leads to her lounge. A bouncer steps in front. "You can't see Crystal right now."

how about "tell her an old friend is here seeking information" and give him a flower for her that will bring me to mind when she, and only she, smells it.

Amazingly enough, the bouncer is actually convinced to do it. Maybe more of Xeno rubbed off than you thought. The bouncer comes back down and says, "She wants to see you. I think."
You step into the elevator. It smells of lavender and myrrh. The doors open again. Crystal's room is, well, simultaneously messy and erotic. In a corner is a Oriental changing screen with panties and bras dangling all over it. Day-old dishes are piled up in the sink. She's drinking a rum and coke in a sweatshirt and sweatpants playing the newest fully immersive MMORPG, cheating of course. "What do you want?!", she asks, with a combination of anger and appeasement only possible from a sufficiently open ex.

Make some small chat about her character and how much she is screwing the system, then fill her in on my idea for the cloak, my meeting with FB, and my current need of info on the yakuza.

She smiles during the chat about the character. "You're sweet. I knew there was a reason I liked you." That puts her in a good mood during the rest of the chat, though she eventually says, "You're just coming here for help. Sigh. Fine. I shouldn't have expected anything else now that you're with that Kitsune." She turns back to her computer and Alt-Tabs out to the window, doing some news searches, heading to message boards, and scanning her private e-mail for references. In the meantime, she talks, saying, "We always have to deal with those assholes, shaking down the club, trying to sneak in, whatever. Luckily, I have Jesse to protect me." She taps a MASSIVE particle wave pistol, her Jesse; sometimes, Milky reminesces that she loved Jesse more than him. Milky did help her in improving Jesse. "It's why I had to hire the brickhead down there. Nice guy, tries to hit on me, SO not interested. So I now at least ten of the crime bosses by name, if not by face." She smiles. "Ah. Just like I thought. There's twelve Balian gangs of any note, of varying sizes and memberships. Only four have the size and skill, let alone interest and balls, sufficient to break into the Time Codex and get out without dying. There's that demon gang those testosterone-fucked idiots down there are singing about, the Luciferians. There's the largest group, the X-Onos; they're connected to slavery, trafficking of the worst drugs and symbiotes... real bastards. There's a gang composed of former Dark Eldritch folks, mostly Goth wannabes with a few spells and TW items, but they have some very, very nasty magicians at the top; call themselves Klaban. And there's some real crazy, but actually pretty harmless, guys called the Turfrunners. They're hotshots who ride hoverboards, speeder bikes, what have you: street races, high-intensity gambling, etc. They're actually pretty nice guys, I like them, they leave this club alone and even cut up one of the Klaban assholes (say, he actually said something about you before he bled to death). They might have done it as a prank or some shit. If you want to find out, you'll probably have to race them."
Suddenly, Crash Fox, in her human disguise with kimono, comes out of Crystal's laptop. She smiles and says, "I hate this dress! But it looks so good, I have to wear it." Indeed, it does.

Post by Frederic Bourgault-Christie on Dec 14, 2005 23:27:42 GMT -5
It is pretty silent for a moment, even though Crash remains as ebullient and friendly as possible. Then Crystal smiles. "Ahh, she's so cute! How can I not like her?! Rumor has it that the Turfrunners are right now hanging out at Pasut Beach's black sand reefs. They have a run that extends through Gunung Kawi temple and then goes into Denpasar. It's a very long and arduous run. Of course..." She smiles. "If you're MAN, and I guess woman, enough, they also do a run through the Lightrail tracks heading out of Ngurah Rai. That includes getting hoverbikes past airport security and going into the lightrails, dodging the lightspeed trains moving. But I have a feeling they didn't do this. I can't explain it, but this seems more like Klaban's business."

its funny, cause i was thinking about using some sort of lightcycles for this, so the light rail should work fineeeee. "Not to worry, I can't be stopped or defeated until the end of the DT, this lightrail course sounds like a good way to stave off excess adrenaline." go begin pulling two lightcycles from cyberspace.

Crash Fox cocks her eyebrow. "That sounds like REALLY terrible logic." Crystal nods and says, "That's what I was thinking."
Two lightcycles are now outside.
