Session Ident: #erevis
* Logging #erevis to 'logs\EsperNet\#erevis.20071217.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-588.2.17
<DeathStar> Location: L.A.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien is in the main area, watching the HoloVid - the news, particularly.
* Angela sits nearby him, resting against the side of the couch, eyes closed.
* Drasek` sits in his chair, drinking a...water? He eyes the HoloVid. "Seriously, mate. How can you watch this boring shit?"
* Chad`Winters steps out of his apartment, wearing slacks and a white shirt.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I like to be informed. And what the hell are you drinking?
* Retrieving #erevis modes...
* Angela opens an eye, looking between the two.
<Drasek`> I ran out of beer. *he sighs sadly*
<DeathStar> <Darien> I wondered when your miracle income would run out
<Angela> "You could always borrow money. But I can't buy alchohol."
* Angela rubs her head a little.
* Drasek` slowly glances at Angela. "Would I have to pay back said money?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps into the lobby area, wearing her trench coat, apparantly having come in from the roof. It's getting to be very dark out there.
<Angela> "There are ways I will collect, it doesn't need to be money."
* Angela smiles sheepishly and looks at the holovid.
* Chad`Winters stops, eyeing Angela than Drasek. He just roles his eyes
<DeathStar> 6* Darien immediately takes that the wrong way.
* Drasek` narrows his eyes. "I'll pass." He glances up at Erevis when she steps in and holds up a hand. "Yo, Revi."
* Angela looks innocent. "You could start by cleaning my apartment."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods her head in greeting. "Hello, Drasek."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Cleaning...your apartment...
* Angela looks up at Erevis and smiles. "Hey Ere."
<Angela> "..What? It's a mess."
<Drasek`> Like I said. I'll pass. *he says to Angela, taking a sip of his water*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien rubs the lower part of his face, turning back to the HoloVid, doing a piece on a Museum.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods to Angela as well.
* Chad`Winters moves over to the fridge and opens it up, eyeing it. 1"Who took my last water?"
<Angela> "Some people have been frequenting it recently and leaving behind messes."
<DeathStar> <Darien> You shouldn't leave it in public domain.
<Angela> "You like my meals."
* Angela looks at the holovid again.
<Chad`Winters> I have my name written on them. 6He lets out a sigh and shuts the fridge
<Angela> "I have soem juice if you want Chad."
* Drasek` glances at his bottle and archs a brow. "Huh, so that's what that says."
<Chad`Winters> I'll pass. 6He looks over at Drasek. 1"There's a suprise. You steal my beer and now you steal my water. When did you even start drinking water?"
<Angela> "Everyone seems to like passing today."
* Chad`Winters has quit IRC (Quit: )
* Angela stretches a bit and looks at Darien.
* Drasek` holds out the half-drunk bottle of water to Chad, and wiggles it. "I accidentally grabbed the wrong thing."
<DeathStar> 6* Chad stares dumbly.
<Angela> "Really Chad, I have plenty to drink if you're running low."
<DeathStar> 6* As the HoloVid does it's piece on new editions brought into their new wing, from off world, they showcase several of them with a wave of the camera filming it. Erevis lets out a sharp intake of air as she spots one of the pieces in the Museum.
* Drasek` jerks his head towards Erevis, then glances towards the Holovid.
* Angela moves her eye to Ere, then back to the Holovid, "See something interesting Ere?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stares at it as well now. All he seems is a strange metallic rod device that seems to be from some ancient culture
* Angela looks at it. "A rod?"
<DeathStar> 6* The camera moves onto interview someone now
* Drasek` sets himself back in his seat now, hand on his chin as he sits there quietly.
<Angela> "Great now it's boring."
* Chad`Winters has joined #Erevis
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is quiet as well now, crossing her arms. She seems to be in deep thought
<Kuroichigo> Megumi "Is it a Progenitor thing?"
<Angela> "Lemme guess, we're about to go off on some wild caper to secure a shiney rod for Erevis...."
<Angela> "...why does that suddenly sound wrong?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. It is a Progenitor relic.
<Kuroichigo> Megumi "You said it so you should know, miss Angela."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Progenitor, eh?
<Chad`Winters> Then we will no doubt be running into Legion.
* Angela looks at Darien and Drasek, "I apparently don't always know when I do."
<Kuroichigo> Megumi 's expression freezes.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Or the Dark Ones, if the monitor broadcasts.
* Drasek` is still quiet, before glancing at Erevis. "We can't let the Dark Ones get it."
<Angela> "What is it and why can't we?"
<Kuroichigo> Megumi "Perhaps both?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. We will leave tonight. Chad Winters, would you please bring up the structural layout of the Museum?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at him seriously.
<Kuroichigo> Megumi "What is the purpose of the relic?"
* Chad`Winters nods to Erevis and pulls out his data pad, working on it.
<DeathStar> <Darien> That's what I'm curious about. But something says Erevis won't tell us.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien studies her as he says this.
<Drasek`> It doesn't matter. Now does it? *he looks to Darien*
<Chad`Winters> If it's a Progenitor device, than it cannot fall into there hands.
* Angela sits up and looks at Erevis.
* Drasek` motions to Chad. "It's that simple."
<Angela> "What does it do?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> I think it does. Because after all, we come to L.A. for unknown reasons, and now we have this relic showing up and Erevis looking all serious? I say it's pretty fucking big.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I cannot say.
<Chad`Winters> It's dangerous, isn't it.
<Angela> "So we'll break in for something we're in the dark about... great... usual business."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> In the wrong hands.
* Drasek` shakes his head, sitting there quietly now.
<Angela> "WHat do you need to get the job done?"
<Chad`Winters> Erevis. 6He tosses his datapad to her
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis catches it with her gloved hand and glances at the layout.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands up. "Something tells me to go get armed."
<Angela> "Yeah yeah..."
<Chad`Winters> I'll get my stuff. 6He turns, moving into his apartment
* Angela stands up and sighs a bit, heading to her apartment.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies the layout, scowling at it's confusing complexity. She opts to just pick the easiest entry point when she gets there.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves for Ariel's apartment.
* Drasek` watches them walk off and looks to Erevis. "You having trouble?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> There will be no trouble when we arrive.
<Drasek`> Fair enough.
<Kuroichigo> Megumi "I suppose I will change outfits, then."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pockets the datapad and moves for the car.
* Angela pulls on her coat, strapping her sword underneath, holstering a gun before grabbing a large object, slinging it over her back, she walks out with it.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes a seat in the middle - the exact middle, adn then eyes the datapad again, scowling at it as she tries to make heads or tails of it
* Chad`Winters steps out of his room wearing a black hooded sweatshirt and pants. He moves outside
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps out, eyeing Chad. "Are you kidding me?"
* Drasek` just moves out and slides in the car, sitting beside Erevis, not being the driver.
<Chad`Winters> What? 6He stops eyeing Darien now.
* Angela fixes something under her shirt and looks at CHad and Darien. "Testing out your project yet Chad?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Chad., "You look like a thug."
<Kuroichigo> * Megumi seats herself to Erevis' left and gazes at it, setting the emerald weapon in its pouch. "Is everything okay, beloved?"
<Chad`Winters> Think I should lose the hoody? 6He looks at him
<DeathStar> <Erevis> There are too many lines and numbers on this
<DeathStar> 6* Darien slings his gunblade over his shoulder. "Nah." 6* He heads for the van
<Drasek`> Bloody Annoying. *he mumbles, glancing out the window to his right*
<Kuroichigo> Megumi "It is a blueprint."
* Angela grins at Darien and heads after him.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am aware of this.
* Chad`Winters shrugs as he moves. 1"Atleast I don't look like I'm wearing a shell on my back. 6He moves outside
<DeathStar> 6* Darien gets into the driver's seat.
* Chad`Winters steps into the passenger's seat
* Angela takes the seat behind him, pulling out her datapad.
* Angela takes the seat behind Darien, that is.
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi is sat on.
* Chad`Winters lifts his hoody up and pulls his gun from it's holster. He checks the clip then slips it back in.
* Angela finds her seat warm and catlike.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien cranks up the car and drives out, moving onto the street. "Okay, so, worst case scenario, we're going to be entering a three-way war for this device."
<Drasek`> Bloody exciting, isn't it?
* Kuroichigo has quit IRC (Quit: jmIrc destroyed by the OS)
<Angela> "Best case, no one knows but us."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Not the word I'd use.
* Drasek` just shrugs.
<Chad`Winters> Erevis, have you found a way in yet?\
* Kit[Away] is now known as Megumi
* ChanServ sets mode: -o Megumi
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will leave it to you to decide. 6* She hadns it to Chad.
* Chad`Winters takes it back and pops up the lay out, studying it
<DeathStar> 6* Darien drives along quietly, brooding.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shifts in her seat, glancing out the window over Megumi's head, since she's shorter.
<Drasek`> I wish I had a smoke. *he says finally*
* Chad`Winters pulls out a stylus and begins to write on the lay out
<DeathStar> <Darien> Perhaps you should be more helpful and you'd get booze and cigs.
* Chad`Winters shifts his one hand under his hoodie and he pulls out a pack of smokes, handing it to him
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Chad. "Great, you just ruined all the weeks worth of training I've been doing."
* Angela shakes her head and taps away.
* Drasek` smiles and takes out a cig, lighting it up, since he still has a lighter. He takes a drag and exhales with an "Ahhhhh."
<Chad`Winters> You've discovered my master plan. 6He hands the datapad back to Erevis. 1"I highlighted several possibile routes we could take."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at them, tilting her head. "Which do you recommend?"
* Megumi cringes where she sits, pinching her nose and holding her breath.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pulls up in the parking lot across the way from the Museum.
<Drasek`> Thank, mate. *he blows out a puff of smoke, cracking the window enough so that Erevis won't bitch.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien turns the car off, glancing at Chad.
* Chad`Winters shifts out of the passenger seat. 1"This route. 6He poke sit and it highlights. 1"It'll lead us through the least amount of cameras and electronic gates."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then this is the path we will taker
<Angela> "What's the status of weapons detection?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis waits for either Drasek or Megumi to get out, so she can get out
* Drasek` seems to be enjoying his cig, not wanting to leave till he finishes.
* Chad`Winters grunts and he opens his door, stepping out.
<DeathStar> 6* The door opens and Drasek is shoved out. Erevis steps out over him
* Megumi opens the door and escapes, gasping
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We should hurry.
* Angela gets out and pulls the large object back over her shoulder.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Drasek falling out mysterious, cocking his head.
* Drasek` narrows his eyes, standing up. "That was a real bitchy thing to do. You could've asked you know." He puts out his finished Cig and moves after her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Drasek; her expression is grimmer than normal.
* Megumi catches her breath and goes back to Erevis' side looking flush.
* Chad`Winters moves to one of the side doors, their entry point
<DeathStar> 6* Darien follows Chad.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis follows Darien.
<Drasek`> You really could've. *he says seriously, moving after her*
* Angela follows Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks around for the camera, spotting it.
<DeathStar> <Darien> So, tell me. Can you bypass the alarms this place is sure to have?
<Chad`Winters> Probably. 6He slips out his datapad, typing on it
* Angela looks to Chad, even though she likely could herself.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Define probably.
<Chad`Winters> Well as long as it's just a standard Musuem security system....Probably.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I don't like your probably.
* Angela rolls her eyes.
<DeathStar> 6 Erevis stands around, glancing up at the night sky.
<Drasek`> Let the horny one do it. *he motions*
<DeathStar> <Darien> You're up, Angela.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien thumbs at the door.
* Angela somehow positions herself to whack Drasek before pulling out her datapad.
* Drasek` motions. "That's 2. 1 more and you lose a limb."
* Chad`Winters eyes them then just shrugs, he stares down at his datapad
* Angela pulls out her HMD, putting it over her eyes as her fingers fly over her datapad, working on the security system.
* Drasek` crosses his arms, apparently getting impatient already. He makes a huffing noise.
* Angela grins and taps away, "Oooo... take that... and a bit of this..."
<DeathStar> 6* The Security System Demands you Play The Opposite Game:'
<DeathStar> 6* Left, Left, Right, Right, up, Down, Left, Up, Down, Left, Right, Down, Up, Down

<DeathStar> 6* The hacking fails.
<Angela> rrlldurdurludu
* Megumi takes a deep breathe and gains her normal pale colour finally. She peers around at everyone before adjusting her sunglasses and shrugs. 1"People are awfully irritable today."
<DeathStar> 6* A level 1 alert activates, but no audio alarms.
<Chad`Winters> So how's it going over there?
<Angela> "Small alert, help me turn it off."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at Megumi.
* Angela taps away. "This is a thick security system..."
<Chad`Winters> Right, or you just screwed up.
<Megumi> We do not have time for this.
<Megumi> Be quiet and do what is necessary.
<DeathStar> 6* The level 1 alarm remains, since Chad hasn't helped.
<Angela> "Shut up and get cracking Chad..."
<Megumi> You as well, Miss Angela.
* Angela keeps typing trying to stop it.
* Chad`Winters rolls his eyes and types
<DeathStar> 6* The Alarm System Demands You PLay the Opposite Game:
<DeathStar> 6 Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left

<Angela> durldu
<Angela> r
<DeathStar> 6* Thank God Chad was the one p.
<DeathStar> 6* The alarm shuts down, leaving the hacking to Angela.
* Angela taps away faster.
<DeathStar> 6* The Security System Demands you Play The Opposite Game:

<DeathStar> 6* The door unlocks.
* Angela sticks out her tounge.
<Chad`Winters> We don't have time for this Angela. 6He move sto the door and opens it, sliding in.
* Angela keeps the HMD on, following after him after typing a few keys.
<Drasek`> Someone is Jealous. *he notes*
<Angela> "I learned from the best."
* Angela heads in.
* Drasek` drops the cig to the ground, since it took long enough that he could smoke another, he steps on it and then moves after the two.
<Megumi> The best made mistakes?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis and Daren move along into the dark musuem.
<Chad`Winters> I laced those Cigarretes with milk of magnesia. 6He glances around than at his datapad and moves down a hallway.
<Angela> "All the time."
<Megumi> The standards must have been low.
<Drasek`> Nice of you, mate.
* Drasek` glances about as he moves.
* Chad`Winters puts his datapad in his pocket and he turns down a hallway, moving through an animals of wild section.
* Megumi pauses, enamored by staring into the eyes of a wax tiger.
* Angela follows after him, eyeing a wax hare for a moment before moving on.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She walks along without sightseeing
<DeathStar> <Darien> This place is creepy as hell at night
* Drasek` ignores the retarded, boring animals.
* Chad`Winters moves back into the hallways again, heading by old paintings
<DeathStar> 6* Footsteps can be heard.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stops, frowning.
* Angela stops.
* Drasek` pauses, listening, glancing around for the direction of the footsteps.
<DeathStar> 6* Approaching them
* Megumi catches up and pauses to raise a hand to one of her ears.
* Chad`Winters holds his hand up then quickly begins back tracking.
* Drasek` glances for somewhere to hide, if there isn't one he would begin backtracking with Chad.
* Chad`Winters then turns, moving into the Dinosaurs section
<DeathStar> 6* Darien follows Chad. He pauses, then hides behind the Raptor.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns, moving along after the others. She steps into the dinosaur section.
* Drasek` scratches his chin, looking for a Dino to hide behind that is easy to spell.
* Angela follows as well, hiding behind a Triceratops.
* Chad`Winters climbs over a railing and climbs onto of the T-Rex.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis hides in the shadows.
<DeathStar> 6* The footsteps get closer.
* Drasek` shifts to hide in one of the faux shrubberies.
* Megumi eyes everyone else after they scurry off and hops the railing just to lean against the wall out of spotlights, curious to the approach.
<DeathStar> 6* A security guard steps into the exhibit, shining his light
* Chad`Winters stays on the opposite side of the t-rex
<DeathStar> 6* The guard begins to walk in, shining his light around. He shines it toward Megumi's location
* Megumi moves behind a fake rock. Squinting.
<DeathStar> 6* The guard exits the exhibit after a bit
* Megumi stands slowly and inclines her head slightly.
* Chad`Winters shifts after a minute and drops down, landing in a soft crouch
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps out of the shadows.
* Drasek` steps out, dusting himself off. "Bloody Dust."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien slides around a raptor.
* Chad`Winters moves to the entrance and leans out, studying the hallway
* Angela moves out from behind the Triceratops and joins the others.
* Chad`Winters motions it's clear and he moves back the way he was heading.
* Angela follows him.
* Drasek` walks after Chad.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves along, stylishly
<DeathStar> <Darien> So, any more surprises?
<Chad`Winters> Probably. 6He moves in through another exhibit on Ancient Greece.
<Megumi> It is inconvenient that a patrol continues to move while we are here.
* Angela remains silent.
* Drasek` glances about again, not his usual rambling self tonight.
* Chad`Winters steps out and into the hallway and stops infront of a locked gate.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien keeps on alert.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Here we go again
* Chad`Winters motions to Angela. 1"Well?"
* Angela looks it up and down and pulls out her datapad.
<Angela> "Be ready to back me up. They have a good system here."
* Drasek` eyes the cigs, then Chad, then the cigs. He sighs defeated and just stands there.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods her head. "I believe in you, Angela Bennet."
* Angela starts tapping away.
<DeathStar> 6* The Security System attacks!
<Chad`Winters> Right, very difficult
<DeathStar> 6* Right, Left, Down, Up, Down, Left, Right, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Right

<Angela> lrudurlurlduurll
<DeathStar> 6* A level 1 alarm goes off.
<Angela> "Hit the alarm."
* Chad`Winters sighs and types on his datapad.
* Megumi turns at the sound and faces, opening her eyes slightly.
<Megumi> Dearest Ariel. You are here.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Ah, you got my message?
<DeathStar> 6* The alarm system attacks
<DeathStar> 6* Up, Down Left, Right, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, Down, Up

* Ariel nods. "...how are we doing here?"
<Angela> "Alright... second go..."
* Angela starts typing.
<DeathStar> 6* The Security System attacks!
<DeathStar> 6* Right, Left, Down, Up, Down, Left, Right, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Right

<Angela> lrudurlurlduurll
<DeathStar> 6* The doors unlock
* Angela smiles a bit as she looks to Chad.
<Drasek`> Angie here has discovered that she can never do anything right the first time. *he says to Ariel*
* Chad`Winters opens the door and steps through. 1"Make sure to shut it behind us.
* Angela steps through.
* Ariel nods. "The second time is working better now though?"
<Angela> "Yes."
* Drasek` nods once and steps through the gate.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps through the gates into the rare exhibit
* Ariel steps inside.
<Chad`Winters> For as well as she talks about herself, you think she'd get it done right the first time. 6He moves into the rare exhibit, glancing around
<DeathStar> 6* Darien slides through, putting an arm around Ariel. "Isn't this romantic?"
<Megumi> It easy to reconcile a second attempt since you know what to expect.
* Drasek` closes it after everyone is through, since apparently no one else is going to bother.
<Angela> "Exactly why I asked Chad to be ready."
<Chad`Winters> Where's the the relic Erevis. 6He looks over to her
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks along. "This way." 6* She takes the lead now
* Chad`Winters moves beside her, his datapad put away again.
<Ariel> "You know, Darien. I don't even know how to respond to that."
<Drasek`> Don't you love it when I woman takes charge?
<DeathStar> <Darien> *sighs*
<Drasek`> NRP: A woman.
* Angela walks along, eyes seemingly closed.
<DeathStar> NRP: *Angela trips over discarded items*
<DeathStar> 6* They arrive before a room with a single glass case - the Progenitor rod inside it.
<Megumi> Would it be a safe assumption that a 'rare' exhibit would have more security than the normal sections? ...We encountered a patrol outside.
* Drasek` glances about the room. "Gotta love the obvious 'trap' feel."
<Ariel> "Honestly, I'm sick of it by now."
* Chad`Winters stops studying the case.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems to be glancing around, as if looking for something
* Chad`Winters slips his hand under his hoody and he pulls out a small cartridge. He clicks it and a fine mist comes out and begins to cover the case.
<DeathStar> 6* Lasers are seen. Lasers everywhere
* Drasek` lets out a low whistle. "I'm not that flexible."
<DeathStar> 6* The entire room is now called - the laser room
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue again, studying it.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> This will be difficult. Only someone small and flexible will get past all these
* Chad`Winters glances back at Megumi. 1"I'd feel safer going home now than doing that."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I second that.
<DeathStar> <Darien> After all, we saw what she did to my room
<Drasek`> Well then we're all agreed.
* Megumi opens her eyes slightly.
<Megumi> ...What?
<Chad`Winters> Agreed. 6He pulls out his gun from under his hoody.
<Chad`Winters> See? She's not even paying attention.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis frowns.
<DeathStar> <Darien> That leaves Angela, then. She's the shortest here
* Angela shakes her head, focusing on her HMD display. "...Hey..."
<Angela> "Meg's shorter."
<Chad`Winters> She's 2/4 tho.
<DeathStar> <Darien> We voted Meg out of this
<Drasek`> We could always throw Ariel out there.
<Megumi> I see.
<Ariel> "I'm nimble, but I don't know if I can deal with THAT."
* Megumi slips her sunglasses up and studies the area around the case.
<DeathStar> 6* The entire room is a laser tripping death trap. Who is good enough to challenge it?!
<Megumi> It does not have to be done in a certain timeframe, does it?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Something tells me once you start moving, stopping won't be an option
<Chad`Winters> Aye, once you commit, you're going to have to finish.
<Megumi> That is fine. I merely cannot act with the quickness I used to.
<Angela> "Faster then me."
<DeathStar> <Darien> *sighs* But she's a klutz.
* Drasek` crosses his arms, "And dense too."
* Megumi just laughs slightly.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I believe in her. Megumi, can you reach the glass?
<Megumi> Of course I can. Just avoid the light, right? I have done that my whole life.
<Drasek`> Then stop talking and get to it. *he motions*
<Chad`Winters> Get your weapons ready.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien unsheaths his gunblade.
<DeathStar> <Darien> If she fails, this place is going to be a hotzone.
<Drasek`> If I run away and leave you all hanging, would you hold it against me?
* Megumi tilts her head slightly, then leans and stretches either leg and her arms before stepping up. Good thing she bought the damn suit and isn't wearing draping clothes like normal for starters.
* Angela grabs her gun out of it's holster, and pulls the large object up over her other arm, sliding it on.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands there, not changing her stance
<Megumi> What do I do once I am there?
<DeathStar> <Darien> We'll issue you instructions afterward.
<Chad`Winters> We'll deal with it if you get there
<Megumi> Alright.
<Drasek`> Punch the glass out. *he notes*
* Megumi sighs slightly and studies for the best entry point. 1"That is unadvised, Drasek. I would injure my alarm and likely set off a pressure plate."
<Drasek`> Well, duh.
<Chad`Winters> Injure your alarm...6He just pinches the bridge of his nose*
<Megumi> Arm.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Alright, move. The guards will be here soon
* Megumi gingerly steps through the first set and keeps her eyes and ears attune for her surroundings as she begins.
<DeathStar> 6* Right, Down, Up, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Up, Down, Right, Left, Up, Down, Left, Right, Up

<DeathStar> 6* Megumi makes it across.
<Drasek`> Well i'll be damned.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Huh. ... She WAS trying to kill me
<Megumi> That reminds me.
* Megumi straightens out and makes sure not to touch anything until instructed.
<Megumi> I have a gift for you, Mister Starr.
<Chad`Winters> No it doesn't. Now focus. Examine the glass case and describe it to me.
<DeathStar> <Darien> That sounds bad.
<Drasek`> Maybe it's some naughty undergarments, like she got for Revi?
<DeathStar> <Darien> >...
* Chad`Winters contemplates just setting the alarm himself
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis crosses her arms. She glares at Chad.
<Megumi> I doubt it. I bought those with direction of Mister Starr and Miss Angela's suggestion.
* Chad`Winters twitches slightly
* Megumi leans and studies it for anything OTHER than being smooth and seethrough, also listening for electronic signals.
* Drasek` laughs, amused by this.
<DeathStar> 6* It looks completely normal.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Ariel, who's silent.
<Megumi> It does not seem irregular, Mister Winters.
<Chad`Winters> Look inside for a pressure switch.
* Megumi does so.
<Ariel> "You didn't give her a scanner to take with her?"
<DeathStar> 6* If the glass is moved, it will set off an alarm.
<Megumi> It does seem to be triggered, Mister Winters. If the casing is tampered with, it will sound.
* Chad`Winters glances at Darien. 1"Do we risk cutting a small hole?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Probably our only option.
<Chad`Winters> Anyone got any other suggestions?
<Angela> "Nope."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis remains silent.
<Megumi> I suppose it is useful that I am the one over here then.
* Drasek` just fiddles with the cigerettes.
<Chad`Winters> You're going to have to create a small circle in it and very carefully pull the glass out
* Megumi glances over her shoulder. 1"I have been training to molecularly dismantle things, but I also have the ability to manifest them into another shape. Essentially I could displace part of the case to another place-- the weight would not change."
<Megumi> However, Mister Winters, there is still an issue of the object itself.
<Chad`Winters> Yeah, whatever. Just do it carefully.
<DeathStar> <Darien> And quickly.
* Drasek` glances at Erevis and slowly reaches out a finger towards her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis doesn't react
* Megumi checks her suspicion of the staff's display itself to see if there are more presure trigers beneath its stand.
<DeathStar> 6* It looks clear.
* Drasek` presses his finger against her cheek, staring at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns to glare at him.
* Megumi shrugs slightly then holds out both hands and focuses on the glass of the case, disassembling while focusing on recreating it in a thin stripe along the outside evenly dispersed.
* Drasek` stands there, finger against her cheek, he tilts his head. "I'm bored. Glare at Chad again." He motions.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Refrain from touching my body without my permission
* Chad`Winters clicks his safety off now switching it to stun rounds.
<Drasek`> God you're a prude. *he pulls his hand back, crossing his arms*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks back at Megumi.
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi...succeeds?!
<DeathStar> 6* Darien crosses his arms.
<Chad`Winters> The relic is most likely pressure triggered itself too.
<Megumi> I checked, it did not appear to be.
<Chad`Winters> Right. Don't believe me than.
* Megumi as an after though looks around the case again, then sweeps her hand to see if the mist that made the other lasers visible would make anything appear inside the case.
<DeathStar> 6* No lasers.
<Chad`Winters> Moment of truth guys. What's the our course of action?
<Drasek`> Get the fuck out?
* Megumi holds up her hand and stares at the staff, recreating another of the same rought size, but not bothering with the perfect shape to start a switch, careful of weight. 1"If you believe so, however, I will make sure."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Agreed.
* Megumi makes the switch and takes a moment to reflect on getting out.
* Megumi peers under the laser net to see if there's room for the staff itself.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien lets out a sigh of releif.
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi would have no problem getting the staff to the others.
<Drasek`> Well. She should toss that here and then we'll just go.
* Megumi slides the staff beneath them since exiting with it would be a pain in the neck.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis picks up the staff
* Megumi exits the display zone
<Chad`Winters> Time to go. 6He holsters his gun
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis holds the staff, studying it with a strange look
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah.
<Angela> "Something wrong Ere?"
* Drasek` focus' on Erevis, watching here closely.
<Ariel> "Is it genuine?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It as I thought. It's a memory staff. This object will lead us to something the Progenitors wished hidden
<Chad`Winters> If you say it's a fake...
<Megumi> So it is a key?
<Chad`Winters> Than let's get out of here.
<Angela> "Let's go then."
<Drasek`> Bout bloody time we got some leads. *he rubs his hands together*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> In a sense. 6* She pulls off a gloved hand. "Give me a moment to read the data on it, so we can destroy it."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not wish to be ambushed once we get outside
<Angela> "Fine, better then leaving with it."
* Angela looks about.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Why do I have a bad feeling about this.
<Megumi> Keep an eye out for the watchmen.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis touches the staff with her free hand, closing her eyes.
<Drasek`> Because you're paranoid?
<Megumi> Mister Winters, can you... use the building's security? Watch the interior or exterior?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Paranoid keeps you alive.
<Chad`Winters> Because your more paranoid than me. 6He glances around
<Chad`Winters> It'll take to long.
<Ariel> "Usually, he's rightfully paranoid though." *frowns*
<Megumi> Seemed better than standing here waiting with nothing.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... ...
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly Erevis cries out, as if something went wrong with the data retrieval.
* Angela stares at Ere and rushes over to her to check.
<Angela> "You okay?"
* Drasek` glances at Erevis quickly and winces. "Sonofa."
<DeathStar> 6* The relic suddenly sends a beam of light out, hitting everyone and knocking them off their feet. And plunging them into darkness.
* Megumi is reversed from her momentum of moving toward Erevis. Rawr.
* Angela groans a little.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sits up, opening his eyes.
* Drasek` is hit and does the darkness thing.
<DeathStar> 6* And blinks in confusion at what he sees a - jungle.
* Chad`Winters rubs his head as he pushes himself up. 1"What happened?"
* Megumi peers around and cries slightly in a freak moment of fake realization. 1"K-Kilek!?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances around, holding his head. "I'm not sure, but I think we're in the wild life display.'
* Angela looks about in confusion, "Are we in Kansas anymore...?"
<Ariel> "...next time... we check the relic first..."
* Drasek` sits up, eyeing the jungle, his eyes moving toward Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* No Erevis
<DeathStar> <Darien> This place seems familiar somehow
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands up finally.
<Drasek`> Hmm. I was going say that she had a reaction because she is a human, and not a progenitor. But she's not here and that's just odd.
* Angela looks around. "Last jungle I was in was on Old Earth..."
* Angela stands slowly.
<Chad`Winters> Agreed. 6He stands up finally. 1"You don't think..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... Yeah. I think.
* Megumi backs up toward a tree trunk and moves her arms to her face, hands clutching at the top of her head, shivering.
<DeathStar> <Darien> It also explains why she's not here.
* Chad`Winters stands up and looks around as he tries to get his bearings.
<Drasek`> What are we thinking? *he stands up*
<Angela> "What are we thinking?"
* Angela looks at Drasek, raising a brow.
* Drasek` slowly glances at Angela and just scowls, cursing under his breath.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien motions for Chad to explain
<Chad`Winters> Give me a second. 6He moves to a tree and begins climbing it, rather quickly.
<DeathStar> <Darien> He needs a second
<Chad`Winters> This is where it all began for her. 6He disappears into the top of the trees.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien helps up Ariel
<DeathStar> <Darien> Bring back fond memories, Ariel?
<Megumi> ..B-b-began..!?
<Angela> "Wait... I remember something about this... after I left the PAX team you all encountered Erevis... here?"
* Chad`Winters suddenly drops back down landing in a crouch. 1"We've got a problem Darien."
<Ariel> "Fond? Not particularly..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah. I guess the memory probe backfired because of her human brain
* Megumi heaves and twists back into the tree, kicking away at the underbrush.
<Drasek`> Well i'm just bloody confused. Anyone going to throw the new guy a bone?
<Chad`Winters> The temples untouched. 6He looks at Darien now.
<DeathStar> <Darien> This is where Erevis was made human. I imagine it's a pretty strong memory, hence why we're here.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien taps his chin. "Hm. But this is a memory, Chad. And memories aren't always accurate. Who knows what's true or not here."
<Angela> "Is this a memory? It seems real enough..."
<Chad`Winters> So we're inside her head than. 6He clicks his tongue. 1"We should head for the temple than."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Whoa, whoa, whoa, why would we go to the location where we know she's at?
<Drasek`> Brilliant. Always wondered how it happened. *he rubs his hands together*
<DeathStar> <Darien> And we don't know if we can be hurt or killed in here.
<Angela> "Well, if we're in her head, you wanna risk being forgotten?"
* Drasek` steps forward and punches Chad.
<DeathStar> 6* Chad would feel real pain
* Megumi turns and slams her forehead into the trunk of the tree she's writhing against, suddenly posing steady and standing. Calm.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stares at Megumi
* Chad`Winters eyes Drasek as he rubs his face. 1"I don't know, you tell me." 6He slips knees him in the crotch.
<Megumi> Which way is the 'temple?'
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... you going to do anything weird now, Ariel?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes her.
<Ariel> "...didn't plan on it. Should I?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> No. Lets be the calm ones.
* Megumi narrows her eyes at Darien. 1"I have my own memories to lay to bury."
* Drasek` hops away after the punch, laughing. "Sorry Mate."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien crosses his arms, eyeing Megumi. "You think you can handle seeing the darker side of Erevis' memories?"
<Megumi> Of course I can. Which way is the temple?
<Chad`Winters> Rigth. 6He sniffs an annoyed look on his face. He starts moving towards the direction of the temple.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien follows Chad. "I still say this is a bad idea. I mean, we're no match for her."
* Drasek` dusts himself off. "Right, it's going to be nice to see the real Erevis." He moves after Darien. "Hey mate, speak for yourself."
<Megumi> You think we will need to fight her?
* Megumi moves quickly after Chad.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Oh, I know it.
<Angela> "Wait...."
<Megumi> You know it? How is this?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Because in this particular memory, she almost killed all of us
<Angela> "Didn't Chad.... I read the report... didn't..."
<Megumi> Then stay away if you are afraid. I have fought her twice before, I will do it again if it is necessary.
<Chad`Winters> Because they fought her last time. 6He slides out a blade into his hand as he cuts through some leaves
<DeathStar> <Darien> I doubt Chad himself will turn into Id. After all. He's not really part of this memory.
<DeathStar> <Darien> But if he does, I'll knock him out
<Chad`Winters> If Id appears, I'll take him on. 6His face has shifted from his neutral look to an angry look.
<Angela> "Alright..."
* Angela looks down, boot scuffing the dirt.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You know, beating up on yourself is not the way.
<Megumi> I do not know who Id is, however...
<Drasek`> Let one of us do it for you, it's much better.
<Ariel> "I'm more concerned bout the consequence of us fighting Erevis within her mind. Wouldn't this have as bad of consequence for her loosing, as us?"
<Angela> "Not really."
* Angela seems to say this knowingly.
* Megumi rubs at her forehead slightly, shaking her head, then darts ahead in a rather four-leggish manner, for some reason quite accustomed to moving through this kind of brush without cutting it.
<Chad`Winters> She's most likely trying to comprehend everything that she absorbed.
* Chad`Winters watches Megumi dart ahead of him. 1"But we have to turn left soon."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I don't know, actually, Angela. I mean. We don't know what the rules are here.
<Angela> "Last time I fought a battle in my head... I learned a lesson about myself."
<DeathStar> <Darien> But you don't really think or behave like normal people.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien notes calmly.
<Chad`Winters> I think we lost Megumi. 6He note sto the others.
* Drasek` just seems oblivious to all of this talk of the past. "Good." He says simply.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, hopefully she can take care of herself.
* Megumi pokes her head through brush and stares with a serene look. 1"Wrong."
<Drasek`> Damn.
<DeathStar> 6* And so, after a strangely short trip, the team arrives at the temple
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hm. That didn't take long at all
<Angela> "Memories."
<Angela> "They flow quickly at times."
<Chad`Winters> Memories are relative. 6He pulls out his gun clicking off the safety.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Relative can get you killed.
<Chad`Winters> Relatives? 6He glances at Angela. 1"Can't argue that point."
* Megumi peers up at the temple, having never been here.
* Angela rolls her eyes, "Since when do you admit to us being relatives?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... 6* He begins to move up the stairs of the temple.
<Drasek`> Obviously when he is making fun of you, luv. *he steps up after Darien*
<Chad`Winters> I don't have to anymore luckily. 6He moves up beside Darien.
* Angela whistles, "True actually, since guardianship passed to Warren..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses, having taken five steps and reached the top. He glances down at the 100 steps.
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... 6* He puts a hand to his forehead.
* Angela looks back down the stairs. "I sense a glitch in the Matrix."
* Drasek` looks down at everyone else then Darien, then everyone else, since he was behind Darien.
<DeathStar> <Darien> This place is creepy.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien motions Ariel to go first from now on
* Ariel heads up.
* Megumi continues with Ariel, not put off by such things.
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue as he looks inside the temple. He moves towards the entrance now
<Megumi> Will we really need to fight with beloved, Dearest Ariel?
<DeathStar> 6* The team enters the temple, which seems to be like they remember it. Sitting on a throne in the far back, is some figure.
<DeathStar> 6* They are hidden in shadows.
* Ariel materializes her armour, just in case. "...I'm hoping she has enough of her senses here that we can reason with her."
* Angela runs her hand through her hair and sighs softly. "So this is the great temple huh?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Don't count on it, if this is a memory.
* Chad`Winters looks over at the figure, studying
<DeathStar> <Darien> We can't be sure if this is the real Erevis or not, or merely an aspect.
<Drasek`> I wonder if that mean's she'll gun for me. *he rubs his chin*
<Megumi> If this is a memory, I would not be here.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Doesn't mean it's not a memory for her.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes the figure in the back, who hasn't spoken yet.
* Chad`Winters moves towards the figure now.
* Megumi sighs slightly. 1"I wanted to make our future pleasant memories."
<DeathStar> <Erevis' Voice> That is far enough. What brings you here, human?
* Megumi purses her lips. 1"I am not human."
* Angela looks about still.
* Chad`Winters stops eyeing the figure. 1"We're not sure."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien unsheathes his gunblade.
<Drasek`> Bloody briliant. *he rubs his hands together*
<DeathStar> 6* Standing up, the figure steps into the light. Erevis is wearing the native outfit she was first introduced in, but one glitch in this memory is that she has her long hair, and not Katrina's shorter hair.
* Drasek` lets out a low whistle.
<Megumi> Huh, she wore something like that, too?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sighs at Drasek. "Don't piss her off. She'll hurt us."
<Megumi> Beloved Erevis, what is happening?
<Chad`Winters> Maybe you can answer some questions for us.
<Drasek`> Fine fine. *he sighs, sadly*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands there, her look almost alien, expecially how she moves her head to watch them, not moving it naturally. "I will not answer the questions of lower beings."
* Angela scratches the back of her head, looking her over.
<Drasek`> Then maybe you'll answer my question? *he steps forward*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes Drasek. "Do I know you?"
<Megumi> ...You do not know us?
<Drasek`> Maybe not. But i'm like you. *he motions with his hand*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shifts her head to the side, staring at Drasek. "You are caged in human flesh as well. Fascinating."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands beside Ariel, whispering. "Thoughts?"
* Ariel shakes her head slowly. She hasn't a clue here
* Drasek` nods his head once. "That I am. Though i'm not so sure where I am right now. Could you enlighten me?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are on my planet. 6* She steps down, circling Drasek, keeping her head tilted awkwardly as she studies him.
* Drasek` tilts his head to follow her as she circles around his right. "I see. And where is everyone else?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am all there is in here. I do not tolerate visitors. 6* She turns to peer at Ariel and Megumi and Darien now, tilting her head the complete opposite way.
<Drasek`> Sounds like a lonely life.
* Angela remains quiet, observing this darker Erevis.
<Chad`Winters> This must be the Progenitor part of her. 6He looks at Darien.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah. 6* He crosses his arms.
* Megumi frowns harsly at Erevis as she looks across, clearly irritated.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis goes back to studying Drasek, moving in closer as she circles him, studying him. "Loneliness is something I do not mind." 6* She walks back to her throne
<DeathStar> <Erevis> After all, it is a primitive emotion by emotional beings.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leans in closer to Megumi. "Told you that you wouldn't like it."
<Drasek`> Right you are. And you are above that of an emotional being, then? *he steps forward*
* Megumi doesn't turn her head. 1"Get away from me, Mister Starr."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Quite. 6* She sits back down.
* Angela shakes her head quietly. She puts a hand on Meg's shoulder.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Fine. But if you can't stand looking into the abyss, then you shouldn't look. 6* He looks back at Chad. "How do we wake ourselves up?"
<Angela> "This isn't your Erevis, Meg."
* Drasek` pulls his arms behind his back, studying Erevis. "So. If I were to ask how my servants and I were to be able to escape this place, would you know a way?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis leans forward. "They are your servants?"
<Megumi> I am not.
* Megumi twitches visibly.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head toward Megumi. "Is that so?"
* Ariel twitches as well, but doesn't speak up.
* Drasek` slowly glances over his shoulder to eye Megumi.
<Drasek`> This one is punished often
<Chad`Winters> It's possible the memory device is keeping us locked together. 6He rubs the back of his head. 1"Overbearing pain. A shock to the system..."
* Megumi eyes Drasek. 1"But not by you."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Perhaps you should punish her. Unless you were lying to me. 6* Her tone sharpens.
* Megumi looks to Erevis. 1"I only came to this vision to see you, since it seemed pertinent to leaving this illusory plane."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Lets go with a shock to the system. Do we shock her, or ourselves?
<Angela> "It's her memories, she's in control of the stick, I'd say her."
* Drasek` sighs. "A most troubling servant. You can have her if you want."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis leans back, perhaps seeing weakness in Drasek
<Chad`Winters> How well do you know pressure points Darien?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Not at all
<Chad`Winters> I was afraid of that. 6He studies Dariens' body.
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... what are you doing?
* Drasek` crosses his arms. "I will deal with her in due time. I am more concerned about leaving this place." he looks towards Erevis.
* Ariel looks to Chad and Darien, "A fight is risky... maybe you can get to her some other way."
* Megumi points to Erevis and mumbles. 1"You -are- Erevis, are you not?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am Erevis.
<Ariel> "Her progenitor self focuses on logic before all else, correct? This place is full of inconsistancies. Can we exploit that?"
* Megumi crosses her arms. 1"You did not tell us your name, there are no others around. Does this make sense?"
<Chad`Winters> Do you trust me?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis does not react, as if it doesn't matter.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sighs. "As well as I can, I guess."
<Angela> "She's a goddess, Meg, it can be assumed we know simply by that."
* Chad`Winters steps upto him. 1"I'm going to hit a nerve cluster. And it will be excruciating.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I hate you
<Megumi> She is not a goddess. She is Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis leans forward. "You demean me?"
* Angela steps away from Meg.
* Drasek` backhands Megumi. "How dare you."
* Megumi bites Drasek's hand reactively, blinking.
* Drasek` notes Megumi is biting hyperspace. Bitch.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands up now, moving down to watch what is occurring
<Drasek`> You will not disrespect her. We are her guests.
* Chad`Winters steps upto Darien and presses his hand against his chest as he feels around
* Megumi moves back to her feet after a moment, rubbing her lips. 1"...Are you joking, Drasek?"
* Angela watches Chad and Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at Megumi, then Drasek. "Perhaps I underestimated you."
* Ariel steps forward, "Goddess Erevis, may I ask you something?"
<Drasek`> This isn't a time for jokes, this is a time to get serious, not apologize to her.
<Drasek`> NRP: now*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Ariel. "Yes"
<Ariel> "The people here. That built this temple. What happened to them? Why are you the only one here?"
* Chad`Winters shifts his hand back then suddenly darts his fingers across several key nerve clusters on his front.
<Megumi> I will not apologise. She said she did not welcome visitors, so we are not guests. Given a second thought as well, she is Erevis. I am sure I respect her far more than you.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems to consider that. "I do not remember. I was attacked by aliens. "
<Drasek`> Then shut your mouth. *he hisses* You're ruining this.
* Angela winces as she watches poor Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* DArien falls over, gagging
* Angela rushes over and checks on Darien.
* Drasek` glances towards Darien now, "What's going on?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers over at Chad and Darien. "What are your servants doing?'
<Ariel> "But the land out side... there was nothing damaged. No physical abberations from weapons, no scorching from energy weapons. There was no sign of a fight at all."
* Drasek` points to Chad. "Answer me. What happened?"
<Chad`Winters> I am punishing him. 6He stands above Darien now.
<Ariel> "Are you certain there was an attack here?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She glances briefly at Ariel. "Do you question my memories?"
<Drasek`> Did I give you permission? *he seems upset*
* Megumi licks her lips and moves away from Drasek slightly. 1"This is ridiculous. I am not going to lie for something so frivolous."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien seems to be in pain
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at Megumi. "Are you saying this one is lying?"
* Angela sighs and sits Darien up, "Chad, enough?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> OH YOU MOTHER FUCKER. 6* He manages to say between bouts of spasms.
<Chad`Winters> I am sorry. 6He crosses his arms as he studies Darien.
* Ariel changes the subject, "The body you inhabit. She was named Katrina, was she not?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems intent on Megumi's answer, as if she locked onto the word lie.
<Angela> "It's not working... do you have a counter for it?"
* Drasek` crosses his arms, watching Chad with a narrowed expression, his eyes slide to Megumi now. Eyeing her as well.
<Chad`Winters> I do. 6He keeps waiting.
<Megumi> Yes, Erevis, you abhor lying, which is why I promised you I would not. Another time, another place. The others seem to be afraid of what you are capable of if angered.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns to Drasek. "You were lying to me?"
<Megumi> He was not lying about being like you. Your origins remain entwined.
<Angela> "Is it supposed to get worse or something???"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis doesn't seem to be listening. She seems angered.
* Angela looks at Darien worriedly.
* Drasek` shifts to glance at Erevis. "No." He says simply.
<Megumi> Sometimes, perhaps, he does think of us as servants.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis waves her hand, throwing Megumi into a wall. "Silence. Your voice grates my nerves>"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien holds his chest. "Here we go."
<Angela> "Darien?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> *nods his head painfully at Erevis8
* Megumi moves after a moment and shifts to her feet. 1"Perhaps rightly so. I should have known as much."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Focus on the crazy half-naked chick... 6* He says ainfully.
<Angela> "But..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Focus.
* Drasek` studies Erevis. "You are upset that my servant has confused you, I do not blame you."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis holds her hand up toward Drasek. "I do not believe you are like me at all. You are weak."
* Drasek` narrows his eyes. "I am now weak."
* Angela looks over at Ere, focusing on her.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You cannot keep the tongue of one child from moving.
* Chad`Winters holds his hand out to help DArien up.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien takes it.
<Drasek`> Simply because I have yet decided if I should kill her or not. But if you wish it, please do so.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lowers her hand. "All of you. Leave me alone."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns and marches back to her temple.
* Angela stands, "...She simply wants to dismiss us?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, better than some alternatives.
<Chad`Winters> So you see anything? 6He looks at him.
<DeathStar> <Darien> What was I suppose to see?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien takes steadying breaths
<Chad`Winters> I was hoping for a white light. 6He watches erevis walk off.
<DeathStar> <Darien> No.
<Chad`Winters> Than she's the key.
<DeathStar> <Darien> So, how do we turn her?
* Drasek` studies Erevis, "I wish to speak with you more, if perhaps we could do it in private, would that be suitable?" He seems to have a knack for dialect when it comes to another Progenitor.
<Angela> "Look, it might not apply, but when I last fell into something like this, I had to defeat the one who had me under in order to wake up."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Drasek. "Very well. You may follow me."
* Drasek` nods his head and moves after her.
<Chad`Winters> We leave it to Drasek and hope he turns her on. 6He crosses his arms.
<Angela> "Fair enough for now..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien wipes sweat off his forehead. "So, theories and thoughts, people?'
<Angela> "Kinda worried that we're laying in the middle of a display room unconcious right now."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Most likely.
<Megumi> A problem if the watchmen return.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I think Ariel was making progress at first.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shakes his head. "This memory is really fucked up."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks over to Megumi. "You okay?"
<Ariel> "If we can get the progenitor to doubt herself, I believe that might get us free of this place."
<Angela> "Then we play the memory out, let it pass? Maybe this is taking so long because we're not letting her finish remembering."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien crosses his arms. "But this isn't a real memory."
<Ariel> "But... if we make her think we're calling her a liar, then we have trouble."
* Ariel looks to Angela, "The real even was NOTHING like this."
* Megumi peers at Darien. 1"That was painful, if that is what you are referring to."
<Ariel> NRP: Event
<Angela> "How would I know that?"
<DeathStar> 6* As they go to speak, suddenly Ariel and Megumi are gone, and Darien, Chad, and Angela are standing outside a house, and it's snowing
<DeathStar> <Darien> What the bloody fuck?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes the house, letting out a surprised noise.
* Angela blinks, looking about, "What the hell..."
<Angela> "...Darien?"
* Chad`Winters eyes the house. 1"Familiar?
<DeathStar> <Darien> This is the building I set up my team in after PAX.
* Angela blinks, going blank a bit. "...Crap, I remember."
<Chad`Winters> And why am I here? 6He looks over at Darien
<DeathStar> <Darien> Why are either of you here? Shouldn't you be playing President with Daddy?
<Chad`Winters> Maybe we should try the pain thing. 6He takes a step towards Darien again
<DeathStar> 6* Darien holds his gunblade up. "Back off."
<Angela> "If you remember, I eventually came here and joined you while working with William."
<DeathStar> <Darien> So, who's memory is this?
* Chad`Winters smiles and stops. 1"Let's check the house." 6He moves to it
<Angela> "Might as well."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Why do we always check out the obvious thing?
<Drasek`> 6*Xanatos would step out onto the porch, bundled up for the snow, he goes to step down when he notices the three. He pauses.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses. Behind Xanatos is standing Erevis, wearing a light coat, apparantly unphased by the coat.
<Angela> "Oh, right, Erevis head."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Oh hell. I hate to imagine what day this could be.
* Angela tears her eyes off Xan and sighs, "Yeah..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> This one lusts after you.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis notes outloud, eyeing Angela staring at Xan,.
* Angela goes red. "N-No!"
<Drasek`> *Xan glances from Darien to Chad, "What are you two doing here? And who's the girl?" He pauses and glances at Erevis, then looking at Angela. "Can't blame her."
<Angela> "I'm ummm... Angela."
<Chad`Winters> We came to talk to Erevis.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah. You know, mission stuff.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You deny lusting after him?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head, curiously.
<Drasek`> 6*Xan glances at Erevis now, who is focused on the odd girl.
* Angela opens her mouth, blanking on how to explain she doesn't lust after a dead man standing right in front of her.
<Angela> "Fine, I do."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. Your voice lacks conviction. 6* She seems bored now.
<Drasek`> <Xan> You embarassed her. *he notes to Erevis*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> How?
* Chad`Winters just eyes Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Chad.
<Angela> "Isn't it rude to read into people like that?"
* Angela looks to Darien for support, and reconfirmation for herself.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien does a thumbs up
<Drasek`> <Xan> People don't want their secrets revealed. *he notes*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. 6* She just turns and walks off. "Very well."
* Angela smiles at him.
<Chad`Winters> Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Chad, a look of distaste.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes, Chad Winters?
<Chad`Winters> Does anything seem odd to you?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> All things are odd to me. 6* She turns and walks back in the house
* Angela looks at Xan, then Darien, then watches Erevis go inside.
<Drasek`> *Xan scratches his head and moves inside after her.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks at Chad. "Well, I guess we need to solve the mystery here."
* Chad`Winters looks over at Darien. 1"So do we explain everything to her?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Something tells me she wouldn't comphrehend it
<Chad`Winters> Options than.
<Angela> "This one's probably a bit more open then the darker Erevis."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Figure out what's important today.
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... and try to find Ariel.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel and Megumi would find themselves tied up in chairs, across from each other.
<Megumi> ...Uh...
<Ariel> "...I don't know if I wish to know what memory this is."
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel's powers are eerily offline
<Megumi> I am guessing you cannot access anything paranormal, either?
<DeathStar> 6* The door opens up, and Xevil walks in, holding a scaple. "Ah, good, you're awake. We begin to ask the questions I so desperately want to hear, Ariel." 6* He looks more demonic than he should as he shifts in, the room seemingly darkening from his very presence.
<Megumi> Mm. Never mind. I believe I can imagine this one, even if I did not wish to.
<Ariel> "...no, I remember this one now."
<Ariel> "You're dead Xevil. Bugger off and leave us alone."
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil leans over Megumi's shoulder, holding the scaple up. "So, Ariel, here's the rules. You say anything I don't want to hear, I'm going to cut a piece out of here. And guess what. I didn't like hearing that."
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil digs the scalple into Megumi's wrist.
* Megumi grinds her teeth slightly.
<Megumi> I believe this is one of the time over the last few years I had not minded if I became the other.
<DeathStar> 6* Xevil laughs, a forked tongue appearing.
<Ariel> "So... what do you wish to hear?"
