<> Jean smiles. <> Ryukage says "Oo. Puppetry?" <> Jean is digging something. <> Ryukage oooooooo. Jean mutters. SOMEONE (like his puppeteer) forgot to set a return for the digging. < Technical banter snipped > Unni says "It might be a Wizard-only thing?" Jean says "She has a dig bit set." Jean is a very amused plushie puppet. Unni pets Jean. Jean says "She has invoked help. Heh." Ryukage yay. ^^ Jean tolerates being petted. Melissa headscritches Jean. Feel the might of the Headscritchy. Unni dangles a ChibiBal in front of the Jeanpuppet. The ChibiBal keeps a stiff upper lip, in spite of the indignity. Ryukage /giggles/! Jean eyes the chibiBal. The chibiBal eyes back, but it's hard to remain dignified when you're 1) chibi, and 2) held upside-down by your tail. She manages though. Jean pats the chibiBal on the head. Ryukage yay! Sees exit! The chibiBal sighs. Eli awws at the cute ChibiBal. The chibiBal will have to Pout at her player if this doesn't stop soon, and...EEP! Eli! *sweatdrop* arcangel will go look in the other room.... Ryukage /giggles/. arcangel giggles at the chibiBal. Eli eyes the chibiBal. Cute, yeah... but it'd be cuter with feathers. Hm. The chibiBal twitches and squrims, trying to get back into her Sock! There's an Eli about, eepeepEEEP! <888o Jean gently rescues the chibiBal from Eli. Eli wasn't doing anything that would require the chibiBal to be rescued. >_> The chibiBal thanks Jean humbly (well, humbly for a Bal, anyway), and eyes one of his nice, safe pocketses? Jean says, gently, "You were scaring it." He tucks it into a pocket. Jean has plans for the chibiBal, he does. Eli looks irritated. "I scare her by /existing/. You want me to annihalate myself?" The chibiBal peeks over the edge of the pocket with her top pair of eyes. Big, chibiBal Eyes! o.o;; Ryukage yays for the room! And awwwws at the chibiBal! Unni thinks the chibisnake should be glad she didn't head Jean't thoughts. ;P Jean says, "Of course not. I merely wish her to feel more safe. Which my pockets apparently make her feel." Jean thought them so that she could not hear them. Of course. <> Moonshadow | Jean, to the ChibiBal: "I hereby name you 'Lint'." <> Unni XD <> Ryukage giggles! Eli can tell when he's not wanted. He goes back to his room, leaving Jean with the chibiBal. Melissa ambushcuddles Eli! Jean sighs at Eli, who seems to be willfully misinterpreting matters. Ryukage awwwwwwwwwwwwww. Jean celestial tongues to Eli, "You're apparently the 'bad cop' to her. Therefore it behooves me to be the 'good cop,' the better to manipulate her into a redemptive state." The chibiBal shivers, as someone aparently walked across her grave. A tiny meep comes from within the labcoat pocket. Eli replies in the same fashion. "I'm not a /cop/, man." <> Unni giggles at Eli being difficult today. ^^ Jean mentally facepalms. Replies, celtongueswise, "Of course not. Nevertheless, whether the name is accurate or not, the CONCEPT is useful." Eli celtongues back a mental thbppt. <> Harle's Eli is feeling very ornery today. o.O <> Unni says "Well, at least he's not feeling horny. ;P" Jean pauses, then mentally pbpbpbpbpbttts back. <> Harle hehs. "No, that's just every /other/ day. And stoned. Don't forget stoned. I swear to god, my memory has decreased since I started playing him, from the mental secondhand pot smoke." >_> <> Ryukage /giggles/! <> Ryukage ...woooooooow. <> arcangel cackles at Harle. Oh DEAR. In his rooms, Eli breaks out laughing. He Celtongues some of the laughter to Jean. Jean smugs to himself. The chibiBal cuddles up in the pocket, safe and snug. Jean gently pats, carefully. <> Maya laughs. A quiet purr emits from the pocket. <> Ryukage awwwwww. [giggles!] Eli giggles into his pillow. Celtongues to Jean, "You're /way/ scarier than me, man. Why's she not scared of /you/?" <> Eli is harmless and fluffy. Yes. >_> Really. <_< You're not buying this, are you? Jean celtongues back, "Because I'm meek, mild, and too logical to smite a potentially useful tool?" He attempts to transmit the concept of Big Innocent Elohite Eyes. <> Ryukage GIGGLES. <> Ryukage | Nybbas clears his throat. <> Jean winks at Nybbas. No, the chibiBal isn't buying it. Eli was THE scariest mofo during the War, and now he's bonkers as well! And there's Other Stuff. <> Ryukage heeheehee. || * Nybbas ...mutters. It /was/ just the logic part. /Really/. Originally! Er. >_> Jean is highly logical. Only smites for a reason. <> Ryukage awwwwww! <> Jean attempt to look innocent at Nybbas? The chibiBal feels relatively certain that Jean won't smite her as long as she behaves properly, and does useful work. <> Ryukage | Nybbas disbelieves. Mostly. Really. Jean sees no reason to smite a useful chibiBal. <> Jean ^-^ smiles, unless it seems that it's losing its effect. Eli celtongues a reply. "...meek? You?" Eli won't argue the rest. >_> And she gets to ride in Jean's labcoat pocket! <> Ryukage awwwwwww! || * Nybbas says "..." (Nybbas's brain cracks another tiiiiiiiny percentage...) <> Ryukage awwwwwww! Jean celtongues back, "Meek, not humble?" Eli does not see Jean as meek, as in "mild-mannered and unassuming". Jean assumes a whoooole lot. At the worst part? He's always /right/, drat him. Jean has a meek exterior. Really. Eli eyebrows and shakes his head, smiling. Sure, Jean. Jean celtongues, "Well, the important thing is that the demon believes it?" The chibiBal falls asleep in the Archangelic pocket. Tiny chibi snores tiptoes on the edge of hearing. arcangel awwwws. Ryukage awwwwwww. Eli replies, celtonguesily, "I'll concede that, I guess. But s'not fair I'm stuck in 'bad cop' role." >_> Jean replies back. "Life isn't fair. I merely take advantage of her fear of you, to 'rescue' her, and thus win her trust." <> Moonshadow watches the tiny Zs wafting upward out of the pocket of Jean's labcoat. Eli sends back, "I know life isn't fair, man. Doesn't mean I can't complain." And another mental rasperry. Jean sends back, "Oh, of course not. But neither does it mean that I should not take advantage when I find it, correct? Especially if she eventually redeems." The chibiBal twitches in her sleep. Jean gently strokes the pocket, soothing the chibiBal back to happy dreams. <> Ryukage awwwwwwwwwww. The chibiBal zzzzzzz... Eli send back, accompanied by a mental sigh, "Yeah, to Lightning. But that's waaaaaay better than being a Balseraph." . o O ( What a /waste/ of all that musical talent. ) Jean sends back, "Once she redeems, she can have it explained to her that Creation is not going to turn her into boots, you know." Eli celtongues back, "But I need a new pair of boots... oh, fine." Mental chuckle. The chibiBal TWITCHES! Jean mentally chuckles back. "And you wonder why she was afraid of you?" Eli replies, "Because I make jokes?"
