[The world has been saved, hopefully for the last time in a long time. The celebrations - and the mourning - have started, and in a lot of places are still continuing. But the victory isn't the only thing to celebrate - and with a lot of help, and a lot of favours, Laura and Lily have extended an invitation to the Chalice crew, past and present, to join them. If you were nearby, chances are the invitation was hand-delivered by a dutiful Servbot.]

1. The setup
[With the looming deadline of the closing portals, things move quickly! Invitations are sent, travel is arranged, a venue is prepared. What had been the White Chalice's Arboretum - now an open-air grove in what's set to become a lush forest - is the site of the ceremony itself, while the celebrations afterwards will take place in Gucun. There's a lot to be done to make ready. Are you helping, or seeking out one of the brides beforehand?]

2. The ceremony
[It's only fitting that Captain Smith should officiate. He's waiting at an arch set up by the flowerbeds of the Arboretum, where the happy couple met, where Laura's tended her memorial to her friends from before the Chalice and to those who've passed on since. Between the Kwan daughters, Epimetheus, and a brace of Servbots you shouldn't have any trouble finding your seat, even if Xue Yi is a little preoccupied ensuring Prometheus behaves. There's some time before the wedding party arrive, to talk amongst yourselves - or with some of the other guests present, who include Laura's overwhelmed-looking parents!]

3. The reception
[Of course, the real point of a wedding is the party afterwards! There's food, drink, and music - Miki pulled some strings, and Pit's showing how Skyworld does catering. After the recent battle, perhaps this is a chance to see some long-absent faces in more peaceful circumstances, or to say goodbye. Or are you just here for the embarrassing speeches?]

[This is a joint mingle post, open to dropped and retired characters as well! For all prompts, please specify whether it's Laura/Lily you want to talk reply, or others!]

cleavestwice

[Clear the deck - on an unoccupied part of the Chalice's hangar, a magic circle appears with a ringing, ticking sound. It remains just long enough to let anyone in the area get out of its radius, then vanishes quietly - and in its place is a figure in a white cloak, one who might look familiar, and yet not, to some of the crew. She looks around briefly before summoning a screen in the air before her, connecting to the ship's network.]

Everyone - I am Agent Fate Testarossa Harlaown, representing the Time-Space Administration Bureau. I'm here to lend assistance and support Captain Takamachi. I hope together we can overcome the troubles this planet faces.

And to those I've met before, I'm glad to be back.

stardreadnought

1. [The mission ended on a bittersweet note. And afterwards, you might run into a certain white-clad mage - now decked out in heavy looking gear - as she touches down on the deck. There's a serious look on her face.]

I'm sorry; inter-dimensional space has been rough lately, but I hurried back here as soon as I could.

I'm glad that everyone seems to be holding up since the last time we met, and while we're at it...I do have some good news to share...

---

2. [A while later in the hangar, Nanoha is holding a small holographic clipboard as she inspects the equipment she used in the mission: The Fortress and Strike Cannon. The individual parts are floating - occupying one of the mecha stations, and Raising Heart in its standby form is hovering just above her left shoulder.

If some of you couldn't tell already, this stuff is new even to Nanoha. That's also why she's inspecting it: to make sure it won't do anything she doesn't want it to. Her first impression?]

Mm...maybe they would have overdone it if they'd kept at this...

[And those are not words she just throws around. If you're curious, now's a good time to ask.]

[The shooting range. There's no better place on the Chalice to hone one's skills in marksmanship.

Those who visit today will be in for a surprise though - you'll find one of the Chalice's best ranged combatants performing...well...horribly. She's missing the target by a wide margin on each shot, and struggling a lot with her control too.]

Well, I knew this would be difficult but... I can do better than this!

[Will that stop her though? Heck no! As soon as one shot goes off (and misses), she raises her dominant hand again, and a pink glow returns to her palm.]

Lyrical, magical! Glimmers to be blessings, come into my hands. Ring and echo under the guidance. Divine Shooter... Shoot!

[Looks like she'll be there for a while...]

---

2. (Fun time!)

[It goes without saying that Nanoha is only human too...and a child, at that. She needs a break once in a while. So how does she spend her time when there's nothing to do and all her training and homework is done? Why, playing video games, of course!

It just so happens that those Burning PT terminals are easy enough to access; so over the course of the past few months, she's been making her way through the stages...slowly, but surely!

Right now, a customized Huckebein EX (painted in glorious ~~Gundam~~ Raising Heart colors) is making its way through the enemies on the 12th stage of the game.]

Remote Slasher... Go!

[And look at those things go!

She still has a lot of room for improvement though. Spectate? Maybe challenge her and show her how good you are?]

((OOC: For those who don't know, Burning PT is an in-universe game that features Banpresto Original mecha. Keep that in mind if you plan to tag!))

[After what felt like hours of negotiation with Hadou Ruri Kurou was able to talk her (With the help of a few Chalice members and her butler.) into letting him serve as the pilot of Demonbane. As much as the Princess disliked it their situation had gotten dire, although she was able to convince everyone that keeping Demonbane in Arkham was a smarter idea in case the Black Lodge did make another attack on the city. Kurou would be able to summon the Deus Machina when he needed it. This also meant that Kurou would be working with the Chalice thanks to now officially being a drone in the Hadou Group.]

1. [Introduction]

Figured I should introduce myself at the very least, I'm Daijuuji Kurou apparently I'm to work with all of you while looking for the Black Lodge. Apparently I'm also supposed to be the pilot of Demonbane and the Master of Necronomicon.

2. [Al Azif prompt.]

[The pink haired grimoire was now back on the Chalice she seemed to be making herself at home staring at whatever new mechs might have joined the ship since she left.]

This won't do at all.

[She wasn't exactly impressed.]

1. (Action)

[Today, the Chalice would be greeted by a familiar sight. One young brunette, in her regular clothes, conjuring a small pink sphere of energy on the ship's deck.

The sphere fades after a while, and she lets out a sigh of relief.]

Looks like everything's fine now. That's good.

Yes. Welcome back, my master.

Mmh. Thank you, Raising Heart.

[About four weeks had passed since Nanoha left the Chalice, and a lot had happened to her in that time too. While continuing her studies at home, she took part in a special training programme organized by the TSAB - something like a Top Gun training school for young mages. Not only did this improve her battle abilities, but her knowledge of magic as a whole.

Unfortunately, that didn't help her feel any less uneasy upon her return. Coming back a second time while knowing that the Chalice had fought continuously to save people everywhere was pretty difficult. She's taking her time to get acclimated to things again, though.]

...No matter what happens, I promise - I'll keep giving it my all.

[But for now, she's due for a break! So she's standing where she is with a juice can in hand and just enjoying the view. Bother?]

---

2. (Locked to Argi & Jeremy)

-Eeehh?! You're...!

[Of course, Nanoha's pretty stunned when she spots one of the former Adventus generals around, especially since she's met both of them at some point...

No, she still doesn't know what happened to you and how you made it, but she's actually glad that you're not gone for good.]

((OOC: Yeah, I'm on hiatus this month, but I figure it's best to get this up while I can still tag.))

[Nanoha's returned, although she experienced the Imagin thing for a while. Her hair however is still a brilliant white color, a sign of her massive power drain and interaction with Cosmic Energy. There isn't any sign of her regaining her hair color yet but she seems happy.]

Hey everyone, I'm back! I also cleared this with my mom and dad and they're letting me stay!

1. - Post-mission
[The first thing that Nanoha felt was absolute pain from her injuries despite the IV feeding her painkillers. She was sore all over and she felt half-cooked. She definitely didn't get off lightly this time, and her whole side was covered in bandages. She was also dressed in a hospital gown but most of it was stripped down to her waist in order to facilitate healing. Her arm and leg were elevated under pillows in order to support herself, and she winced at the sensation of being cooked.]

Ow... [managed Nanoha, wincing.]

2. - Later in the Week
[Nanoha's doing better for the most part, the doctors managing to accelerate her healing. Mid, Mejire and normal medicine helping her recover as well. Still, as she sucked on a juice box, she flexed her hand.]

I need to get stronger... better... toys I suppose. What do you think, Raising Heart?

[I will help you.]

[Nanoha smiled and nodded.]

1. [Nanoha's listening to her music, a small portable player with earbuds in her ears as she works on her homework. She was relying on the Asura to transport her work back home so that her sister could hand it in for her when she was on her "extended trip". She was also mentally compiling a list of things to say to her family when she eventually told them of what was going on.]

2. [Having changed into her barrier jacket, and still in aggressor mode, Nanoha was finishing up with her exercises and knocked the pop can into the trash can, this time hitting her mark! She grinned as she looked at Raising Heart who laid to the side.] Raising Heart, are you running at full power?

[Yes. I am at 100% my master.]

That's good then! Say, Raising Heart, I have a question. What happens if someone plugs a different power source into you?

[Depending on the power available, I will adapt it through my systems and amplify your initial output by a percentage of the power. It will act like a Belkan Cartridge System.]

Ah that's good. I wonder what else I can plug into you. Any ideas?

[I do not know. But perhaps if you ask around for advice, it will become available.]

[Nanoha's in the arbortorium, having been treated for her shoulder. She was still in a sling but she was able to get out and walk around despite her exhaustion. For the time being, she was sitting underneath a large tree, humming to herself.]

2.

[Given that she was hungry, she went to get a meal. Currently, she was trying to cook by herself, not wanting to disturb anyone. You can see her trying to move a large pan with her good hand.]

3.

[It's around this time the next day that a care package arrives for Nanoha, and she's eager to tear into it. In there is cookies, clothing, clean undies (blush) and a couple of pairs of glasses. From it is a letter from Miyuki-nee who says to keep her head up. JUST what she needed. Thank you Lindy for telling her parents she needed a pick me up. You can see her wandering around in a cute new outfit despite her sling, and a pair of glasses on her nose.]

[After that weird gas attack and Gnocem assault, you might find Charles flitting about the ship in his IS. He's usually carrying Gnocem corpses here and there, forming a pile in one of the larger empty rooms. He's gathered quite the collection...and there's a good bit of blood on him, as well.

Strangely, he doesn't seem to have been asleep at all...]

[Nanoha's doing some unusual training in the open spaces of the Chalice's bigger rooms. She had set up multiple targets and was moving large containers around. It was quite a bit of a strain on her as she had been at it for a while. But mastering a new spell was part in parcel of her training.]

[2]

[After a while, she had gotten a volunteer as Nanoha stood there, Raising Heart aimed at said person.]

I don't use these much so please tell me if the binds get too tight!

[And there she is casting binding spells of all kinds on people.]

[3]

[After all of that, she's hungry. Very hungry. And Nanoha is in the kitchen making herself a meal as she tries to get the large sandwich into her mouth.]

[1] Video

Hi everyone, I'm back. I had a restful trip and mom and dad send their best. I had to go back to refresh my excuse for staying with you all, and they seem all right with it. I brought cake, so please take some. There's about three in the fridge, and it's enough to feed everyone as long as they limit themselves to one slice each.

[2] Nanoha was back to full strength, despite the downer mood everyone was in. She had gone out to the practice rooms and she was knocking a juice can around with a Divine Shooter. Raising Heart was counting down the numbers as well.

[21, 25, 34...]

Once she got to 100, she knocked it into the trash, or at least tried to. "Awwww it bounced again?"

[3] Nanoha's been picking at her food, not really hungry as she worked on some math homework. She had returned with an armful of homework and she promised her mom and dad she would get it all done. Currently she was working on some mid-elementary math problems. The page was already half completed and she had scribbled trig equations in the lines.

((OOC: We just defeated another pair of big bosses after a decently long route split so mingle post go. This is set pretty much right after both Jeremy and RGNK are defeated and everyone arrives back on the Chalice so go get more CR))

1. [There seems to be a large celebration after everyone was rescued successfully. The hangar seems to be buzzing with people coming back at different intervals. After being separated from each other for a good two weeks waiting to celebrate their victory didn't seem right.]

2. [Ichitaka on the other hand seemed depressed to say the least. After getting himself out of the crushed cockpit of the Rushbird he didn't go for medical attention even while blood continued to leak from his forehead. All he was doing was staring at the crushed Rushbird both eyes looking hollow and empty.]

[It's time. Thanks to Bian feeding you the location of the prison and Phillip and Shotarou relaying information back and forth currently the White Chalice fleet is currently stationed right outside of the sensor range of the prison facility. The base is huge, with entire squadrons patrolling the surrounding area, some of it Federation, some of it Adventus.]

Captain, would you like to say anything to everyone before we begin?

Indeed I would!

EVERYONE! IN CASE YOU GET CAUGHT, BE SURE TO HAVE YOUR GET-OUT-OF-JAIL FREE CARD ON HAND!

[Aaaand cue headsigh before Ayame opens up a fleet-wide broadcast.]

Alright then people. Believe it or not, we're the diversion here for the DC's own offensive into Adventus territory. And that's fine by me. Everyone, we're going to be betting it all on this and we'll either be leaving this place together or we'll be joining our comrades already imprisoned. We have intel and we have a link to our comrades on the inside.

And most importantly I think I speak for everyone when I say I want to take back everything and everyone who was taken from us.

We've all discussed plans of attack and how we're going to do this, but that's in the past now. Now's the time to make good on everything we said.

[Now cue Dan, in full military regalia!]

RIGHT! All pilots and crewmembers, prepare for battle! On-foot teams, standby for insertion via Getter! Shotarou, send everyone inside a line so they can time their breakout with this!

ALL FORCES... CHAAAAAAARGE!

(Here it is! We've plotted to a degree and the time for action is now! There'll be several "fronts" for this, each with its own thread and probably we'll have subthreads too. Keep in mind to not go around godmoding things and let everyone take part in the awesomeness... and if you want to discuss and carry out some event with the mods specifically or just have a question to ask, drop one of the mods a line.)

[1 - Late in DOWNFALL (Log)]

( Far above the battle, a familiar warship cruises back into Earth orbit... )

[2 - Action]

[Chrono's just leaving the bridge of the White Chalice, where he got a proper report on the damages. A still-unconfirmed number of people kidnapped, but at least half a dozen; damage to the Chalice itself; and a number of the people left behind were still horribly damaged and scarred, not to mention the mental trauma they'd have to endure. No, this wasn't a good day at all. To punctuate it, he drives his fist into the wall opposite the door, still marked from Eri's attempt to hold the door from the attackers.]

Is this how Admiral Graham felt, watching my father die? This... uselessness?

[3 - Action]

[A few hours later finds Chrono in the Asura's largest training room, an unfamiliar (to everyone else) Device drawn that looks more like a mace than anything else, Chrono himself looking tired but determined, and the room surprisingly cold, ice crystals all over and large chunks of ice strewn about.]

I need more power... I've got to find something. Having the skill and the experience isn't enough anymore... Durandal!

Yes, Boss. [Chrono brings the mace to bear and charges up a spell, before firing; it doesn't appear to have a name yet, but shards of crystal-clear ice fly forward into the far shielded wall, falling to join a pile of not-yet-melted ice.]

1. [So you're going about your own business - eating, maybe having a workout or just sitting around. All's well, until you notice an object (or multiple objects) rising into the air nearby. The object(s) suddenly fall (with or without disastrous results), and Nanoha shows up a moment later, looking frantic.]

I'm sorry! Are you hurt?

(For the record, what Nanoha is practicing will eventually evolve into this. It's far from complete at the moment though.)

2. [A wonderful aroma is coming from the kitchen. If you decide to investigate, you'll find this normally destructive nine-year-old working hard. She's following some recipes from a cookbook she bought in Corinth, and despite having to make some improvisations (because the Chalice doesn't have everything), the results are quite amazing.

Nanoha herself looks quite pleased with her work, and she feels better after a little taste-test. Bother?]

2. [Dita's slipped away from the festivities for a little bit to the garden below the deck of the bridge, and she's looking at the night sky.]

So full of stars. They say there's a heart in each one of them. What star is Mejire and Taraak's? Is it still glowing brilliantly?

[It's such a sad, if happy feeling for Dita, she runs a hand across the railing.]

(ooc: mingle post in the first part, go get new CR with people! We're not throwing this party just cause we downed the Season Ending Boss oh no XD)

[All Chrono remembers at the end of the last mission was falling, hitting the ground, and a bright light. So when he comes to in the Asura's sickbay, he's a bit confused.] I'm hurting in places I didn't know I had... Maybe it's time to learn the fine arts of command and delegation. It'll be less painful.

[And then he suddenly remembers why he was falling in the first place. Looking around, he catches sight of a tray containing what he recognizes as pieces of S2U. The remains don't seem to constitute the whole Device, making reconstruction difficult and exceptionally time-consuming. Chrono sulks about it for a while, but eventually stops and sighs. Rather than focus on what he's lost, he's looking ahead to what needs to happen now. He'll be happy to talk to anyone that comes to visit, too. Anyone snooping around will find he's also making plans to return to Bureau space to consult Yuuno about the Book of Darkness case and do some investigation of his own; he'll be happy to research topics anyone needs looked up while he's there.]

[Lily received enough repairs that by Valentine's Day she can walk around without scaring anyone with open circuitry showing. And so she does, visiting her friends to give them Valentine's Day chocolate! It has a weird color, still has some dark smoke coming out of it, and vaguely smells of ionized air. It's also heart-shaped - and I don't mean the cute stylized symbol, but a real, anatomically correct heart, sculpted with ridiculous precision.]

Here! Merry Chris... err, Valentine's Day!

[And if Lowe thinks he can escape this because he's away, tough luck. She keeps one for him for later.]

1. VIDEO

[Pretty much all over the ship, any video screen flickers to life with the symbol of the League.]

Hello again, White Chalice. This is the League of Ruling Corporations. We have heard reports of... discontent within our ranks. We believe the Algebra corporation may be staging some sort of attack. To preempt this, the Global Armaments wishes to contract you all. They will administer the briefing...

[The screen instantly darkens as Global Armaments' emblem appears on the screen. The sound of a gruff, military man takes over for the sultry mistress of the League]

Alright, this is your mission.

The client is GA America. The target is Algebra's attack transport Arms Fort, Cabracan.

[The next behemoth is shown on the screen:

Cabracan is protected by a very thick sheet of armor, and is impossible to take down with standard NEXT weaponry. I don't mind telling you that it's a real headache to deal with.

However, the thing does have a weak point. If you can manage to get under the skirting armor at its base, you will be able to take out the tracks and bring it to a halt. That is all we need you to do for this operation.

Frankly, the top brass don't have all the details themselves. What they do know, is that this Arms Fort could become a serious threat.

All of you taking this job will be well compensated. We hope to hear from you soon.

[The message cuts out, the League logo and woman's voice taking over once more.]

It goes without saying that the League will apply the same bonuses and penalties for completion and desertion respectively. Compensation will be in the form of a resupply and payment in the form of credits. As GA stated before, we can't wait to work with you again.

[VIDEO FEED END]

But tonight, you might see her strolling around the ship, quiet but observantly watching the festivities. She is carrying an unmarked box in her arms, and even here and there, and takes out a sprig of mistletoe and hangs it up in doorways, and lounges. Even on some people's quarter's door. In the hanger, she hangs them from some mechs, in the medical ward, and even on the bridge. There is mistletoe everywhere...

[Oh, Chrono is not in a good mood. His allies were shot down, he's gotten pretty beaten up himself, and - worst of all! - he missed the shot at Gato. He's really not happy with himself. A distant corner of his mind laughs at him for having told off Forte from just this position a short while ago. As such, he's walking about and fuming.]

I can't believe he got away...! And with nuclear weapons, no less! I mean, Earth is already so damaged from Second Impact... what's the point in blowing it up further?

[2]
[Chrono's up on the Asura, reviewing the parts requests from Raising Heart and Bardiche and mentally checking off everything, until...]

CVK-792... what's that part? And why don't we have any? [A quick cross-reference later, and Chrono pales.] Oh no. They're not serious, are they...? [A hollow laugh.] Of course they are. It's those two, even their devices work too hard. The Belkan Cartridge System... I hope they can handle it. [A camera feed on the screen displays the devices in question, nearly shattered, floating in a repair area until the needed parts are secured.] I'd better get these requested from Cranagan, the main office is a long way out, even with dimensional travel.

She was also reckless in pushing herself and Bardiche so hard during the battle. Fate walks up to the tube and puts her forehead and clinched hands on it. Silent tears start to fall down her face.)

[Who has the time to celebrate after the last mission? Not everyone, that's for sure! Lily Rain is sitting by one of the blaster White Chalice intercoms with a pile of spare parts and a book on repairing electronics. It doesn't go well.]

We did the right thing, right? Technically we failed the mission, but nobody was hurt and in the end everyone was happy (or almost everyone...) and the crowd cheered at everyone, so that has to count for something... But I still wonder, could it have gone different, better? Maybe if I waited instead of charging right in from the start...

[Daydreaming is not a good thing to do when you're working with live circuitry... Which Lily finds out on her own by getting a zap from the radio.]

Eeek...! I'm not good at this...

Fate is happy with the output of the concert. Sure it started HORRIBLY but it ended in a good way. Fate is now walking down the halls singing happily. Fate suddenly stops and thinks.

1. [On day 4, Lily Rain decided to act. She's walking through the White Chalice's corridors, looking for any speakers playing that song. And when she finds one, she blasts it with a bazooka shot! Good she's using weak rounds for this, otherwise the walls could've be gone too.]

One more down! Don't worry, people of White Chalice, I will save you!
~~Strange that I destroyed so many and they didn't drop a single powerup, though.~~

2. [After Lily's rampage is stopped one way or another, she stands before the door to the ship's bridge. If it's open, she enters, if not, she talks to the intercom. Other people might be with her, too.]

I have to speak with the captain! Captain, please explain yourself! Why are you playing music that makes everyone fight and bicker?
