Day 93 FIrst HALF

[meilleurekimiko]

In Need of Answers:
- Charitee would be in the lobby, just bewildered about what happened.
- Setsuna points out after some talks that its not a bad idea to get all those disks together. Amund on the other hand, is mostly confused on what transpired the previous day.
- As they continue to discuss things, it doesn't take long before Pennyroyal shows up with apparently Mei-Liong hostage in a headlock. However, he fails to overlook the Mei-Liong he has is fake. The real Mei-Liong smashes Pennyroyal through the door to the dorms and puts him in a headlock.
- After some initial questioning by Charitee, Amund suggests that Peppermint be summoned to identify Pennyroyal.
- Mei-Liong tells Pennyroyal to stop moving or she'll break his face...then she decides to hand him to Cloral.
- Peppermint is accompanied down by Al's aspiring student aide Sayumi, as Cloral continues to brutally mangle the crap out of Pennyroyal.
- Peppermint confirms Pennyroyal's connections to the Mint Gang, and that Pennyroyal likely went on a rampage after hearing of Cinnamon's capture.
- Mina's left bewildered as to how these dolts get their jobs.
- Johnny would arrive with Lilith and Claudine out of the elevator, about to get himself to the infirmary.
- Cloral would slowly but surely kill Pennyroyal temporarily.
- Johnny tells everyone he's about to go to the infirmary, but after Lilith mentions Anxo could heal that up...he allows her to call him up.

Outside:
- A driver of a Lincoln Continental is apprehended by the police after they ran over tire spikes...25 gold bars apparently meant for "McDaniels" were found in the car.
- Conleth and NS keep a good eye on the police officers as they get out the gold bars.

Back to the Lobby:
- Anxo would first heal Johnny's leg, then is shown the floppies the students are trapped in. Galen would take a look at a floppy once Charitee provides him with an external floppy drive.
- With that, he's able to see a .pcx file and a zip file.
- The zip file contains 3 things: "Upload to Mindless Battle Robot" "Delete this Folder" and "Self-Destruct When Done".
- Although Amund insists to open one of them, Galen is completely against the idea; believing there is a trigger in the files.
- Amund notes that its best they contact someone more aware of the events Rosette talked about (fyi, nearly all the Blue Troubadour events in EG where folks got trapped in disks)
- An alert goes off...and its about Ancient Requiem...

Ancient Requiem Destroys Itself, not a White Rose:
- "Hannel" orders that Ancient Requiem take aim at Shirobara Academy, which the superweapon does as the relay points all surface from the sea.
- This causes Shirobara Academy's personnel (including Prof. Shibata, Peony, Ben, and Aimé) to evacuate.
- Brie (with Thistle's style) manages to overclock the EXILE^9 powers that Thistle can activate naturally, and uses the effect to snipe Ancient Requiem's first relay point with the Blixtfönster.
- By doing this, the relay point destroys itself and the main beam launcher...allowing Shirobara to last another day.
- The three leftover Shirobara major characters meet up with Chloé-Elle...who's desperately looking for food. After being offered food by Ben, Prof. Shibata decides to let her in.

Reporting In...:
- Brie informs the students about what transpired, and that she sniped down Ancient Requiem.
- She also informs Amund (as he picked up first) that the wreckage of the superweapon is falling from the sky...and they should check it out tomorrow as its near 8Com Park.
- Lilith asks Amund to put the darn phone on speaker so everyone can hear.
- Amund asks Brie about the floppy disks...
- Brie informs the students that the disks were meant to be memory wiped and used in mindless robotic bodies.
-- Because of this fact, Galen is greatful he ejected the disk.
--- Only anti-sealing magic would work...or an EXODUS/EXILE Bracelet...
- Brie also tells the students about how dangerous the EXraser is.
- Galen asks Brie again about how to cure the disks, which leads her to repeat the same answer to him.
- Anxo would finally ask if an Emerald would work, which causes Liane to spout out "Yes! It's a status effect!!"
- Johnny remarks that he's buying a bigarse bottle of Perrier and some cake, because he was that confident in Anxo's abilities.
- Anxo uses an Emerald which quickly undoes the seals on all the students...but a vast majority of them are bent out of shape; literally.
- Brie informs Amund that she's on her way to the dorms with the document (and possibly other evidence).
- Yuuri would head downstairs and call up the infirmary about all the students in the lobby.
- Etsuko's states her legs are broken,
- Anxo wonders if another use is a good idea. Claudine figures it would be, if only to make the infirmary's job a lot easier.
- Melody (who was there) points out she can't get unbent, as all her limbs were broken.
- Mina informs Melody that help will arrive shortly. Yuuri really hated the idea of keeping 20 folks in the infirmary for a week, so she states that someone should throw a heal.
- Anxo's able to use a Sapphire light to heal up the students juuuuust before Tony and the infirmary aides show up.
- Tony thanks Anxo for the help, as the aides get to work on checking up the 20 students to make sure they can move their limbs with no problems. Tony plans to call up the doc to see what her call is on the 20 students...

Important:
- Unsurprisingly, the Mint Gang plays quite a big role in S2's first eighth or so.
- Galen's actually correct: There are triggers in those files that were zipped up.
- Ancient Requiem is a rejected superweapon of Brisbane origin that was meant to completely wipe Zanzibar off the map. But Charitee ordered it to be scrapped...
- The good news is all 20 of those students won't have to stay at the infirmary for long. Anxo's heal cut their recovery time from 1 week to maybe 2-3 hours.
-- But you gotta feel bad for the infirmary here.

Shoutouts/Refs:
- Snoop Lion? Snap Lion? Nobody's being fooled here!
- .pcx? How old is that?!
-- Try floppies. Galen's right, they're ancient!
- "Son of an Idrinn!"
- Ancient Requiem? This is not Tales of the Abyss! Nor is there a Vaan in this game.
-- The superweapon was set up just like the superweapon Requiem from Gundam SEED Destiny.
- Oh no she didn't. She thought she sniped through the stratosphere?! Brie, you're not Neil Dylandy!
- EXraser. Oh hell, that's what the Blue Troubadours used to delete folks.
