<DeathStar> Stardate: BEFORE EPISODE 13
<DeathStar> Location: L.A.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis has snuck off into the city to buy a flute. Who is with her?
<Kit> NRP: Snuck... off..
* Ari[AWAY] is now known as Ariel
<Marcus`> *Drasek is, mostly because he was bored.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers over at flutes, a serious look on her face, as if she has to find a specific one
<Marcus`> *Drasek stands lazily watching her, finding the look on her face amusing.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She peers over her shoulder at Drasek
<Marcus`> *Drasek puts on a serious face.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Do you know anything about flutes, Drasek?
<Kit> NRP: Drasek "Yeah, cause one time, at band camp..."
<DeathStar> NRP: ....
<SPoC> NRP: That was poor taste.
<Marcus`> <Drasek> Not much, luv. Though i'm sure whichever you buy, she will love. Unless she's ungrateful that is.
<Kit> NRP: We've had this conversation. Moving on.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You believe Megumi Zhenmei to be ungrateful?
<Marcus`> <Drasek> I said unless. I don't know anything 'bout the little knee nipper.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Perhaps it would be wise to take the time to learn more about her.
<Marcus`> <Drasek> I don't think so. She's a jealous thing and hates my guts because I like to joke about with you.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am confident you are exaggerated. I do not see why she would hate your innards.
<Marcus`> <Drasek> Well she hates me. And since it's an illogical hate, i'll just pass on the huggy huggy fun time.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<Marcus`> <Drasek> I respect that you care about her. But I think she's annoying.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If you say so
<Marcus`> <Drasek> I do. Now how about that one? *he points to a random flute*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No
<Marcus`> <Drasek> Why not?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is not correct
<Marcus`> <Drasek> What makes a flute 'correct'?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I cannot explain. I am looking for a certain flute.
<Marcus`> <Drasek> Then it looks like I won't be much help. *he glances around* Can I smoke in here?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know.
<Marcus`> *Drasek glances around and then lights up a cigar, taking a puff. "So. You're pretty excited about this."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. I am very pleased.
<Marcus`> <Drasek> Are you going to sing as she plays the flute or something?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Why? Would you enjoy that?
<Marcus`> <Drasek> Dunno. Depends on how well you sing.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. I believe I am good, but then I could be overconfident in my abilities
<Marcus`> <Drasek> You will have to sing for me and let me judge for myself.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not have anything to sing
<Marcus`> <Drasek> You don't have any songs memorized?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I...do have songs in my head.
<Marcus`> <Drasek> Let's hear one.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis frowns. "But there is no music."
<Kit> NRP: Even Erevis has an artist's complex. Haa.
<Marcus`> <Drasek> Here. *he moves to grab a guitar, since they are in a music shop* Does the song have a name?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I--do you know how to use that instrument?
<Marcus`> <Drasek> One of the first things I ever learned when I got this body was how to play a guitar. The girls go crazy over it and I was interested in girls.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .....
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I find that uncomfortable
<Marcus`> <Drasek> Sorry. But i'm not trying to woo you. So is there something I could play for you?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know. I am not used to singing on the spot.
<Marcus`> <Drasek> Now that's interesting. Never pegged you for the nervous type.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am not nervous!
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems offended
<Marcus`> <Drasek> It's alright to be. Most people are nervous about doing things like this. Hell, i'm shaking right now.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She glances at him to see if this is true
<Marcus`> <Drasek> On the inside, mind you. It was a figure of speech.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Then you are not shaking.
<Marcus`> <Drasek> That's why it's a figure of speech. It's a figurative shaking off nerves. Hence being nervous.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What songs do you know?
<Marcus`> <Drasek> Loads. What types do you know?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. I do not know what 'types'.
<Marcus`> <Drasek> What is your favorite song? *he tilts his head to watch her closely*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis names some futuristic song!
<Marcus`> *Drasek archs a brow. "Really? Well let me see if I can remember it." He grabs a stool and sits down, then takes a few minutes of hitting notes to see what he thinks might be right.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis waits to see if it is
<Marcus`> *Drasek makes a face, then strums out a note, it seems to be the proper first note. "Ah there we go."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Do you...have the correct tone?
<Marcus`> *Drasek tilts his ear toward the guitar and moves his fingers along the fretboard to strum again. "Better?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. It is more pleasing to my ear.
* Marcus` nods. "Excellent. Want me to count it down, then?"
<Marcus`> NRP: Drasek*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I...if you think it would be best
<Marcus`> <Drasek> Alright, then. 1 2 3-*He begins to play the introduction of the song*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis clears her throat, then begins to sing. Her voice, as always, is perfect
<Marcus`> *Drasek finishes the song and falls silent.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis finishes the lyrics, then stares at Drasek
<Marcus`> *Drasek glances up. "Well love I think that was damn near perfect."
<SPoC> 6People in the stores clap and cheer them on.
<SPoC> 6Some people even throw credits onto the floor infront of them.
<Marcus`> *Drasek glances. "It would seem they agree."
<Marcus`> *Drasek snatches up the credits and pockets them.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> They are throwing money.
<Marcus`> <Drasek> Musta heard about my beer fund.
<SPoC> 6A cute wittle girl with pony tails walks upto Erevis and holds out a piece of paper and a pen. 1"Mway I have an autowraph?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I do not understand. What is an autowarph?
<Marcus`> <Drasek> Autograph. Your signature.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Why would she desire that?
<Marcus`> <Drasek> So she can sell it for big bucks whenever you become famous.
<SPoC> 6The cute wittle girl stares at the two, her hands held out with the paper and pen
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis uneasily signs her name to the paper. Strangely, she adds an extra name after Erevis
<SPoC> 6The cute wittle girl pulls it back, staring at it
<SPoC> <Girl> Thank wou.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The correct word usage is "you"
<SPoC> <Girl> Thats what I said. 6She stares at Erevis with an odd look.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You said wou
<SPoC> <Girl> No, I said wou.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. Wou.
<SPoC> <Girl> No, wou.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Correct.
<SPoC> 6The girl stares at Erevis oddly again then just turns and walks off into the crowd.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Drasek. "Was my singing good enough?"
<Marcus`> <Drasek> Yes, luv. It was perfect.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am glad. 6* Her ego increases
<Marcus`> <Drasek> What about my guitar abilities? Pretty impressive, eh?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are well versed, yes.
<Marcus`> <Drasek> You should hear me in song. Great stuff, I tell yah.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. Show me.
<Marcus`> *Drasek laughs once. "Oh, I was just joking luv, you don't wanna hear me."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> But I do
<Marcus`> *Drasek sighs. "Well I do sing in the shower..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .... .... That is the only...time?
<Marcus`> <Drasek> Well I could make an acception.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then do so. I will listen.
<Marcus`> <Drasek> Ah damn. I guess i'll actually try. *he begins to play the intro, which seems to take forever*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis waits
<Marcus`> *Drasek still plays, seems this intro takes a whole 1.5 minutes!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ..
<Marcus`> <Drasek> "Come'on baby do you think it's good to fell, like I'm lying here. Swimming in memories." *He begins.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head
<Marcus`> *Drasek goes into the chorus, "Don't wanna waste no more time. Time's what we don't have. Everywhere I look someone dies. Wonder when it's my turn."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<Marcus`> *Drasek plays on, then eventually the song is over. And he glances up. "Or something like that."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You have a defined voice
<Marcus`> <Drasek> That a good thing?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I believe so
<Marcus`> <Drasek> Good thing I chose this song instead of one of the punk styled songs that I listen too. I doubt you'd like those.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Oh?
<Marcus`> <Drasek> Alot of shouting, and alot of singing out of tune. Wild stuff.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see.
<Marcus`> <Drasek> More emphasis is on the expression. *he stands up*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis goes back to the flutes.
<Marcus`> *Drasek looks with her. "Maybe you want to get something more dainty for Megumi. She is small."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Dainty? What is ...dainty?
<Marcus`> <Drasek> Smaller. Lighter. I may have said it wrong.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Are they not all small and light?
<Marcus`> <Drasek> Not at all. Like this one, the material it was made of makes it heavier. *he lifts one up and extends it out towards Erevis* Feel this. Compared to this. *he sets the guitar aside and grabs another one that is lighter*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis holds it, not looking impressed
* Marcus` has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
* Marcus` has joined #erevis
<Marcus`> *Drasek takes it back and hands her the lighter one. "See the difference?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not
<Marcus`> <Drasek> You can't tell the difference in weight?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> They both feel light
<Marcus`> <Drasek> I see. Well there is a slight difference, but i'll just let you decide. *he puts them back*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis picks a flute finally, and moves to purchase it. It looks as if it were made from a rare wood
<Marcus`> *Drasek lets out a whistle. "Jeez, luv. That's a pricey one."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Money does not mean anything
<Marcus`> <Drasek> Then you'll buy that guitar for me? *he tilts his head*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She eyes it
<Marcus`> *Drasek smiles slightly, "I'll even play with Megumi and you can sing. How about it?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It will make you two...closer?
<Marcus`> <Drasek> Well that's stretching it. But who knows.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She nods to the cashier. "I will take the guitar."
<Marcus`> *Drasek picks up the guitar and hands it out to him.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis makes both purchases.
<Marcus`> <Drasek> Thank you.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are welcome
<Marcus`> *Drasek takes his guitar and glances about. Anything else while we're out?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. This will do. Let us return
<Marcus`> <Drasek> Sure you don't wanna buy me booze, too?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am sure.
<Marcus`> <Drasek> Worth the try. *he sighs*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis and Drasek arrive back at the apartment building.
<Marcus`> *Drasek glances around. "No attack this time. Excellent."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks inside
<Marcus`> *Drasek lifts up his guitar and moves over to his chair. "I think i'll play me a snazzy tune." He sits down and begins to tune the guitar to his liking.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will find Megumi Zhenmei. 6* She looks forh er.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks inside their room
<Kit> 6Megumi is catnapping. It's late for the mid-morning one, perhaps she took one out of irritance.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves over to stare at her face, inches away.
<Kit> 6Peaceful and completely oblivious to anything but dreams.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis leans in closer, and kisses her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis frowns, then kisses her again on her neck, trying to find a sensitive spot.
<Kit> 6Megumi chirps, then sits up rather quickly. 1"..N-neh!?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis beams, looking pleased. "Good afternoon.'
<Kit> 6Megumi stares, then closes her eyes and sleepily murmurs. 1"Afternoon, beloved..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Please wake up. I wish to give you something.
<Kit> <Megumi> Give... something?" 6Yawn.
<Kit> 6Megumi hops down to her feet. 1"..A-Alright.."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. I have bought you something. 6* She holds up a plastic bag. Sadly, Erevis doesn't disguise her gifts well
<Kit> 6Megumi hears something shaking and opens her eyes again, then jerks. 1"E-Eh! Th-that.."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She tilts her head.
<Kit> <Megumi> Y-You did not have to...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> But I desired to do so...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems a bit put off, still holding out the bag
<Kit> 6Megumi takes it, smiling softly. 1"...I... I am glad."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just nods once.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shifts slightly, then seeing Megumi not moving to open it, turns to try to find something else to focus on. She attempts to hide any disappointment
* Marcus` is now known as Xan|Gooone
<Kit> <Megumi> You will sing, correct?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Sing what? 6* She tilts her head.
<Kit> <Megumi> Nothing in particular... I do not know earth songs.
<Kit> 6Megumi's fingers gently undo the package and she studies the instrument within seconds, peering at it like an appraiser.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She eyes the gift in the bag still. Apparantly she thinks it's well disguised.
<DeathStar> 6* It appears to be very expensive, and made from actual wood.
<Kit> <Megumi> A type of ash?" 6Curiousity, then takes it out, holding it delicately.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know.

<DeathStar> 6* Erevis cups her hands together, apparantly hesitant now.
<Kit> 6Megumi smiles. 1"It's a soft, wood that reverberates evenly with a warm tone. I like... them."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is..satisfactory?
<Kit> 6Megumi leans over and hugs Erevis affectionately.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis returns the hug.
<Kit> 6Megumi raises her head back, an ear twitching just a bit. 1"...Mm, I hear something else resonant."
<DeathStar> 6 *Erevis tilts her head. "What?"
<Kit> <Megumi> Music elsewhere.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Drasek wished for a guitar, so I purchased one.
<Kit> <Megumi> He... knows how to play an instrument?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
* SPoC is now known as Dias-Sleepwalking
<Kit> <Megumi> This is surprising.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. Is it?
<Kit> <Megumi> Yes, how should I say...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head in the opposite direction
<Kit> 6Megumi squints, inclining her head. 1"It is... I... I should think the only thing in his body with rhythym is his heartbeat."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not understand. You believe he has a heart?
<Kit> <Megumi> Hm, he does not? Then he should be without rhythym entirely...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> His abilities on the guitar are quite pleasing to my ears.
<Kit> 6Megumi frowns slightly, her cheeks puffing indignantly. 1"I-Is it, now?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
<Kit> <Megumi> ... ... ...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis, as if sensing Megumi's mood, frowns slightly, then turns away to face something else.
* Jennifer` is now known as Seraphna
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Seraphna
<Kit> 6There's a long pause in Megumi's efforts to distort time and space with her nameless agitation, before she holds the flute up and trills one of the lower end mid ranges, testing the flute itself.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances back at her now, her expression softening.
<Kit> 6Megumi plays through three different scales, one plain, one major, and one in minor making simple rolls of her fingers, as if this were perfectly normal to her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits on the edge of the bed, watching her seriously, as if there were utterly fascinating
<Kit> 6She takes a moment, perhaps to think, then begins playing an off-melodic song with a disjointed beat, preferable to the minor scale for its eerie tones that redeem when rolled into higher or lower notes, creating an atmosphere of an unknown nature with urgent intent.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis listens to the music, closing her eyes. She appears to be completely drawn in, ignoring the outside world.
<DeathStar> -END-
<Kit> Done?
<DeathStar> I think so!
Session Close: Fri Jan 04 00:35:21 2008

Session Start: Fri Jan 04 02:09:28 2008
Session Ident: #erevis
* Logging #erevis to 'logs\EsperNet\#erevis.20080104.log'
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis listens to the music, closing her eyes. She appears to be completely drawn in, ignoring the outside world.
<Kit> 6Megumi ends her song after three verses, each with a different tempo and ending quip, the final note lifted and played fleetingly, let to end wisply and played thus twice more before ceasing. She sets the flute down, and by her face, seems to have forgotten why she initially decided to play.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis finally opens her eyes, a pleased expression on her face.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That was most pleasant.
<Kit> 6Megumi stares at Erevis a moment, lost in thought, then closes her eyes and smiles softly, saying nothing, perhaps still in her own sense of mind, reminiscing.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis quietly folds her hands into her lap, apparantly not wishing to say more while Megumi reflects
<Kit> 6Megumi's head tilts back, then fixates on Erevis. 1"...I am glad you enjoy that. It is... important to me."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies Megumi quietly, then runs her hand along Megumi's knee. "It is a beautiful melody. The way you play it, it means a lot to you."
<Kit> <Megumi> Mh. It woke me up.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am glad it did.
<Kit> 6Given no curiousity, Megumi leaves it at that and returns to studying the flute for whatever reason, even resorting to smelling it.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems to know what that line meant, or guessed at it. Perhaps the two had the discussion at some future point. Or, being controlled by the all knowing GM, Erevis simply knows
<Kit> 6Eventually Megumi sets the instrument on her lap and leans forward slightly, kicking her feet gently. 1"Perhaps that is why you were eager."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm? What do you mean?
<Kit> <Megumi> When I think of things from another angle... You seemed especially anticipating of this practice, moreso than you would normally be with me. It is unimportant, but my idea that you might have been looking forward to this occasion.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks slightly embarrassed, perhap sheepish, as if caught in something.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That is... true.
<Kit> <Megumi> It clearly has not unravelled the universe for me to realize such a thing, nor has your anticipating its coming in advance. It pleases me to know that in this 'cycle' you are following... there are moments to smile for.
<DeathStar> 6* Well, the cat is out of the bag. "You have 'caught' me. It is true. I find your music to be something I look forward to."
<Kit> <Megumi> I would imagine we become quite prolific, then, for I would not deem it necessary to disappoint being complimented by one who can sing without fault to the ears of this Famfrit.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shifts, perhaps slightly embarrassed again. "I would not put my singing quite on the same level of ability as your playing the flute." 6* Before it could seem like she means that in a bad way, she continues. "I find your music to be quite better."
<Kit> <Megumi> Mh, they are not comparable. Using one's own voice is quite admirable and while you could learn to play a flute, I could not sing like you because I am not.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis slides a bit closer to Megumi, like a little kid getting closer to someone they admire. "Perhaps we should form a band."
<Kit> <Megumi> A band?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am told it is when a group of people come together to perform music. They are supposedly quite popular.
<Kit> <Megumi> What would we do?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Write songs and sing them in front of people. That is the purpose of a band.
<DeathStar> 6* She nods sagely, as if this were highly held information
<Kit> 6Megumi recoils slightly. 1"...In front of people?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. 6* She pauses, then remembers Megumi's reaction at the karaoke bar. "I ... apologize. Please disregard what I said about a band."
<Kit> <Megumi> E-eh..! D-Do not give up on it because I...
<Kit> <Megumi> I have overcome nightmares, I can overcome a simple fear. Hrmph.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not wish for you to do something you do not want to do.
<Kit> <Megumi> ...It is not that I do not want to.
<Kit> 6Megumi crosses her arms, tapping the flute against her shoulder.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis considers the problem. "Perhaps we should find a place where you can practice flute, like the karaoke. Then you could gather courage."
<Kit> <Megumi> Yes, this would be acceptable.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then I shall find such a place
<Kit> 6Megumi smiles, leaning back now. 1"Please do, beloved."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems to be considering a battle plan.
<Kit> 6Megumi eyes Erevis, then sets the flute on the bed and lifts a knee, clasping her hands around it and thinking of her own battle plan, a literal one.
<DeathStar> 6* If Darien could see the two, he'd probably roll his eyes.
<Kit> 6Finally hopping down from the bed, Megumi turns to observe any changes in Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems lost in thought, until Megumi hops off the bed. She blinks once, turning to see what Megumi is doing. "Are you leaving?"
<Kit> <Megumi> I was considering making use of my nap to further focus training if you were to venture without me once again.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis hangs her head a bit. "I merely wanted to surprise you with the fleet."
<Kit> <Megumi> Beloved, I... I will treasure it. Why are you... sulking?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis blinks, glancing up. "I was not sulking." 6* She then pauses, as if unsure, and she hates lying
<Kit> 6Megumi holds up a hand, as if stifling a laugh, but just shakes her head. 1"Is there something you wished to do?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shakes her head. "If you wish to do training, you may do so. I do not wish to impede your improving your skills."
<Kit> 6Megumi looks upward skeptically. 1"...Mh, I am not sure I can truly improve what I practice any further, and if I could, I am not sure it is a good idea considering... the problem with... me."
<Kit> <Megumi> Suffice to say, there is always time aside for such things.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis slides forward. "Then do you wish to do something else?" 6* She studies Megumi.
<Kit> <Megumi> This is what I asked you, beloved, clearly you have moved beyond that ambitious idea the other day, hee.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *pauses, trying to recall* Ambitious idea?
<Kit> 6Megumi grins. 1"Not relying on me so much to decide things!"
<Kit> <Megumi> A bit annoying we no longer live near the park.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I still think we should take turns in picking activities. 6* She notes, giving Megumi a look that says she will not be easily persuaded
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis gets a far away look. "Yes."
<Kit> <Megumi> I suggest the roof, then.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You wish to go to the roof? 6* She blinks, then stands up. "Very well."
<Kit> 6Megumi reaches over and opens a drawer, removing a small bound book with a crystal locket on the strap. 1"I would also recommend bringing canvas, or you will be terribly unentertained."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, then glances at her hands uncertainly, but moves to pick up the said supplies.
<Kit> 6Megumi changes, in the meantime, out of her battle dress and into one of the violet kimonos, finally awake after playing the instrument, she sets it in her sash, holding the book and swaying on her heels.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is wearing a blue sweater and jeans, apparantly not wearing kimonos around freaks such as Drasek
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns and moves for the roof with her stuff
<Kit> 6Megumi tags, closing the door to their apartment after them.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks up the stairs with her stuff, and steps onto the roof. Thankfully, there's no evil Darien up there to chastise them.
<Kit> 6Megumi pauses for a moment, having forgotten all about the shuttle. It impedes the idea a bit, but oh well, Los Angeles isn't that pretty anyway. She sits near the edge of one of the ends away from the shuttle and taps the locket with her finger, that seemingly enough to open it.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits beside Megumi, despite her accident prone nature with roof edges. She glances at Megumi curiously.
<Kit> 6Megumi thumbs through the little book with no attempts to hide it away-- of course, the runic writing it seems to be in... is obviously not common.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns to face her notepad. She begins to do light sketches, testing her motor skills.
<Kit> 6Megumi on the other hand, stares blankly into space, holding a small pen hidden within the seem, but seems to never actually write anything.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What are you going to write about? 6* She asks Megumi.
<Kit> <Megumi> I am still not sure.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods once, then peers around, then at Megumi. She begins to sketch
<Kit> <Megumi> Sometimes I write dream interpretations, as I said, however... I have not had nightmares in a very long time. Although I might call this a diary, of sorts, it is not of the kind that I write accounts of everyday.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis continues to sketch, talking as she does so. "Have you had desirabl dreams lately?"
<Kit> <Megumi> A few.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Perhaps you should write about those? 6* She asks questioningly.
<Kit> <Megumi> I have!" 6She practically beams.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Really? 6* She begins to peer at the pages, as if curious
<Kit> <Megumi> Yes." 6She lifts the book and actually reveals it, pointing to a particular paragraph of the runic writing.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances over it. If she comprehends it, it's impossible to say.
<Kit> 6Megumi takes it back, then begins writing as if that were the answer to everything.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis goes back to drawing Megumi, staring at her intently.
<Kit> 6Finishes and closes the book rather abrubtly.
<Kit> <Megumi> Mmhmm.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *blinks*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are done?
<Kit> 6Megumi nods simply. 1"Yes."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks confused. "Now what do we do?"
<Kit> 6Megumi leans over against Erevis' shoulder, peering down at the sketch cheshirely. 1"No one said you needed to stop..." 6Wait, was this her idea!?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis considers, then nods, going back to drawing. It seems she has fallen into Megumi's trap
<Kit> NRP: ...*flails*
<DeathStar> NRP: Mwahahaha
<DeathStar> NRP: IF you're ready to end it, let me know
<Kit> NRP: If I could think of something I'd keep going but... But... I.. I've got nothing. * lays down cards
<DeathStar> NRP: Well played

Session Ident: #erevis
* Logging #erevis to 'logs\EsperNet\#erevis.20080102.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-588.2.23
<DeathStar> Location:
<DeathStar> L.A.
<DeathStar> 6* It is a dready, rainy mid-day.
* Chad`Winters steps inside, soaked and a backpack over his back and a brown package under his arm.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks out the window at the rain, then eyes a leak in the ceiling, that must have been coming down from the third floor to make it down here. He then glances at Chad.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Look at what the cat dragged in
* Drasek` glances up, from the holovid. "That my booze?"
<Chad`Winters> No. 6He unshoulders the backpack and holds it by the strap with his left hand.
* Angela emerges from her apartment in light, casual clothes, walking into the lobby and looking around before taking a seat.
<DeathStar> <Darien> So what do you have there?
<Ariel> 6* Siawase looks at Darien... trying to figure out where Megumi is, since HE isn't refered to as 'the cat'.
<Chad`Winters> Supplies. I was finally able to get more stuff in for my belt.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Vague, yet like you
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shifts a pot under the dripping water after the first one fills.
<Drasek`> Any of them toys explode? *he seems interested*
<Angela> "Mmmm probably a few do."
<Chad`Winters> It adds an air of mystery. 6He eyes Darien and the pot. 1"You should really declaw Megumi."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm debating it.
* Chad`Winters moves to his apartment room and opens it.
<Drasek`> The brat did that? *he glances to Darien now*
<DeathStar> 6* Aya is sitting there, face down in her book, apparantly asleep.
<DeathStar> <Darien> She has this thing about punching holes in our building, yes.
<Angela> "Do we evict her?"
<Chad`Winters> She has an unnatural attraction to Darien that borders Angela levels. 6He moves inside his room and quietly moves across it, setting his backpack and box down. He moves over to Aya
<DeathStar> 6* Darien tilts his head toward Chad's door, frowning. "That man does not know how what is appropriate to joke about, and what is not.":
<Drasek`> You're one unlucky fella. *he says to Darien, leaning back and pulling up a cig, lighting it up*
* Angela shrugs a bit and turns on the holovid. "Meh, he's just bitchy because I doused him in water."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hm? Did you say something, Drizzle?
<DeathStar> 6* Aya remains face down in the book
<Drasek`> Nothin much, dumbass. *he blows out a cloud of smoke*
* Chad`Winters carely slides her chair back and moves to pick her up
<DeathStar> 6* Aya's face is covered in sweat, and red, from what appears to be a fierce temper. And knowing Chad's anal abilities to recall things, she feels heavier, and might be a bit bigger than she was the night before
* Chad`Winters puts his hand to her forehead, feeling it.
<DeathStar> 6* Definite fever
<DeathStar> 6* Darien rubs his nose with his thumb.
<Angela> "I think I have some sealant... we could try fixing some of these holes..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> We can just make Megumi do it.
<Drasek`> It's not like she does anything else round here. *he props a leg up*
<Angela> "She's probably hiding from the rain, you know cats and water."
<DeathStar> <Darien> That wouldn't explain her obsession with taking baths with people.
* Chad`Winters hrmms and carries her to her bed, setting her down. He moves to the kitchen and fishes out rag and starts putting it under cold water.
<Angela> "I think she excuses it to see Erevis naked."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien makes a noncommital sound, taking a seat
<Drasek`> Do you blame her? *he tilts his head, smoke sliding out of his nose* Revi has a nice body.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah, it's true.
* Angela thinks about it, with more insight then the other two.
<Angela> "...Yes, it's very true..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien slowly turns his head toward Angela.
* Angela looks innocently back at the TV.
* Kuroichigo has joined #Erevis
* Drasek` eyes Angela. "You sicken me sometimes."
* Kuroichigo has left #Erevis
* Chad`Winters moves back to her bed and and places the rag over her forehead.
<Angela> "I know two boys that'd think you're crazy for that one."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya appears to be out of it, due to the fever.'
* Angela flips channels.
* Kuroichigo has joined #Erevis
<Drasek`> Well they're boys, so I don't care what they think. *he shrugs*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien remains quiet, apparantly unwilling to get into this
<Angela> "Eh."
* Angela stops on the news.
* Chad`Winters crosses his arms, a concerned look on his face.
<Angela> "Why does it sicken you anyways?"
* Chad`Winters moves over to grab his datapad and he flicks it on as he moves back to Aya again.
* Angela leans back a little.
<Drasek`> Why does what sicken who?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pinches the bridge of his nose.
<Angela> "Nevermind."
* Chad`Winters holds it over Aya, eyeing her temperature.
<DeathStar> 6* 106. And rising, slowly.
* Angela plays with some of her hair, "Boring news day..."
<Drasek`> Thank you. *he relaxes with a smile, and puts out his cig* So how's the missus, Chief? *he glances at Darien*
* Angela keeps flipping channels.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm not telling you anything about Ariel.
<Chad`Winters> Shit. 6He quickly rushes to the bathroom and turns tub on, filling it up. He then moves out and into the lobby. 1"I need as much ice as possible now.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stares at Chad. "Ice?"
<Chad`Winters> ICE. 6He snaps back and quickly moves back into his room
* Angela looks up. "Ummm... I've got a big freezer... I'll grab some from that."
* Angela gets up and heads to her apartment.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien keeps staring, then nods. "Yeah. Do that."
* Drasek` glances up. "Well he seemed serious." He pulls himself to his feet. "I once lived on ice for 2 years." He notes, moving toward his apartment.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands up, then moves to step into Chad's apartment
* Chad`Winters moves over to Aya and picks her up, carrying her into the bathroom.
* Angela steps out with a bag full of ice, she walks over to Chad's apartment and follows Darien in.
<DeathStar> <Darien> So what's the emergency? 6* Darien asks as he pokes his head in, then leans further to look into the bathroom
* Chad`Winters slowly lowers Aya into the water which is between warm and cold. 1"She has a fever over a 106.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien frowns. "That's sudden."
<Chad`Winters> You think? 6He places Aya's head on the edge of the tub and turns the water off. 1"The ice."
* Angela heads to Chad, holding the bag. "Aya... she's sick? Just like that?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Did she seem sick this morning before you left?
* Chad`Winters grabs the bag and rips it open, slowly pouring it into it the ice.
* Drasek` whistles as he steps in, a pillow case full of ice slung over his shoulder. He pauses and stops, tilting his head, watching them.
<Chad`Winters> No. 6He finishes pouring the ice into the water. 1"Angela grab my datapad, it's on Aya's bed.
<Angela> "I'll go get my medical kit... I've got some acetam-tabs..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien crosses his arms, considering things. "I guess I'll let Zephyr know." 6* He steps out to knock on Zephyr's door
* Angela gets up and rushes back to her room.
* Chad`Winters rolls his eyes. 1"Drasek, I know you can listen unlike her. Datapad, Aya's bed."
* Drasek` moves over to Aya's bed and lifts it up, then tosses it to Chad. "Here."
* Chad`Winters catches it and checks Aya's temperature again
* Angela comes back a short time later with the medical kit, opening it up. "Sorry..."
<DeathStar> 6* It seems to be stubborn, despite the attempts.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien and Zephyr step back into the room. Zephyr runs over, looking worried, brushing back a strand of hair. "What can I do?"
* Ariel follows Darien and Zephyr to the door, but doesn't crowd in. There's a lot of people there already.
<Chad`Winters> Pour some more ice in. 6he grabs the medical kit from Angela and opens it, pulling out an empty needle.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods, moving to locate ice.
* Drasek` extends the pillowcase out to Zephyr. "Here, bit."
* Angela pulls out a bottle, checking the dose for a small child.
<DeathStar> Zephyr takes it, then pauses, then uses Drasek's ice.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien hangs back, apparantly not wanting to get in the center of things.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Maybe we should consider a hospital.
* Chad`Winters grabs some sanitizer and then Aya's arm. He cleans a spot off and inserts the needle into a vein and takes a blood sample.
* Angela holds it out to Chad. "Fever reducer."
* Drasek` crosses his arms, watching Chad.
* Chad`Winters waves it off then pulls the blood sample from her arm. He hands it to her. 1"Scan it and tell me what's going on."
<Chad`Winters> Darien grab Erevis. 6He puts his hand to Aya's forehead again.
* Angela nods and scans it with her own datapad.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You think she'll offer insight into this? 6* He snorts in obvious contempt, then steps out
<Angela> "Kay... it's analysing..."
<DeathStar> 6* The results, once displayed, are all off the scale, and contempletely illogical.
<Angela> "The hell?"
* Chad`Winters glances at Angela and just takes the datapad reading it himself
<Angela> "It makes no sense."
* Ariel watches from the door, "...I could try to help, but... I'm not sure it'll help. Or even if it might hurt, like this..."
<Drasek`> We'll use you as a last resort, luv. *he nods to Ariel, glancing back to Aya, concern on his face*
* Angela looks at Aya worriedly.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr whispers to Aya, despite the fact the child seems nconscious
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue as he stands up, his hand running through his hair
<Angela> "It's pretty clear this isn't a normal fever... so what now?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps into the room, sliding her kimono on tighter. "Darien Starr said there is an emegency about Aya Winters that I may do completely nothing about?" 6* She notes dryly.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks in behind her, looking completely innocent.
<Chad`Winters> Thanks for stating the obvious. 6He looks over at Erevis. 1"She has a fever of over a 106 and it still rising."
<Angela> "I do my best."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis frowns. "And this is not normal for a human child?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Ariel as he stands near the doorway now.
<Angela> "It's not normal for anyone... 104 is considered high."
<Drasek`> Darien's suggestion of a hospital is sounding nice about now.
<Chad`Winters> We have to get her temperature lowered before we can risk moving her.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Angela said it wasn't a normal tempature. What did she mean?
<Angela> "Her scan makes no sense, everything is completely off the charts."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis listens to them all; this is out of her field of expertise.
<Chad`Winters> Drasek, get me more ice.
<Angela> "THere's more in my freezer, door is open."
<Drasek`> Sure. *he takes his pillow case and steps out*
<DeathStar> <Darien> *Waves his hand* Perhaps we should run a full body scan, then?
<Chad`Winters> My datapad isn't set up for that.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Angela?
<Angela> "Sure."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Her datapad is always ready
* Angela makes a few quick adjustments and starts scanning. "I have a lot of evil experiementations."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien thinks hard, then looks at Ariel. "A shame the Rune Blade is broken, or we could use the Holy Rune."
* Chad`Winters begins tapping his foot impatiently as he waits. 1"Can that thing take any longer?"
* Drasek` steps back in with another sack of ice. "Here, mate." He extends it out, to Chad or Zephyr. Whoever will take it.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr takes it for Drasek
* Chad`Winters moves to grab it then nods to Zephyr
<Angela> "Water Rune would just make more water too." *she finishes scanning over Aya and runs the analysis*
<Chad`Winters> Yeah, we dont' have enough water the way it is.
<Angela> "Sharp, that was my point."
<DeathStar> 6* The scanner finally seems to give conflicting reports: apparantly, while the scan was occurring, Aya's cells were aging faster, putting her at 3.5 years old, and going. And her body is stressing and taxing from teh changes occurring. Most changes are unlisted, however, as "unknown" or "undeterminable"
<Chad`Winters> I'm glad you have time to waste valuable time with obvious statements.
<Angela> "...She's... aging?"
<Ariel> "...what?"
* Chad`Winters eyes Angela. 1"What?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Eh?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head, frowning
<Angela> "Her cells are rapidly aging."
* Chad`Winters narrows this eyes then clenches his fists.
<Angela> "This looks like mutation or something, the datapad can't figure out what's happening, but it's changes..."
<Drasek`> Now that's interestin. *he says with a quirk of his brow*
<Chad`Winters> VI. 6He simply states as he looks down at his daughter.
<Angela> "Rapidly growing cells and changes could explain heat ou--- VI..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah. Apparantly whatever Hodges did....
<Angela> "THat Hog..."
* Drasek` frowns. "That's troublesome, then."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Maybe since you guys interrupted the process, it took this long for the mutation to occur?
<Angela> "He was trying to age her...?"
<Angela> "Oh..."
<Chad`Winters> What's the rate at which the cells are growing?
<Angela> "Said 3.5 years jsut before now..."
* Angela looks.
<DeathStar> 6* 3.6. But, from the looks of things, the process will speed up soon.
<Angela> "3.6... and increasing in speed."
* Chad`Winters looks over at Erevis. 1"Erevis."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shakes her head, forcing her mind to work again. "Yes, Chad Winters?"
<Chad`Winters> I need information.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien crosses his arms, glancing at Ariel. "V.I., the gift that keeps on giving."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What sort of information?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks uncomfortable now.
<Chad`Winters> Anything that will stop this from happening to my daughter.
* Angela rubs her head a little and sighs.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shakes her head. "I am afraid I am of no help when it comes to that."
* Drasek` shifts to watch Erevis, glancing at Chad's reaction.
<DeathStar> <Darien> No help, or choosing to be no help? 6* He says bitterly.
<Angela> "Is she SUPPOSED to be doing this?"
<Chad`Winters> But you know what'll happen.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> There is an end result that you will not be able to avoid. However, I cannot say if your actions prevent the end result from being worse, or if it is unavoidable.
<Chad`Winters> Zephyr watch Aya. Erevis we're going to talk in private.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Okay
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis inclines her head, then turns to step out. Her stance is taunt, as if she is not looking forward to this
* Chad`Winters moves out after Erevis.
* Drasek` crosses his arms. Falling silent.
<Angela> "No one should ever have thier childhood stolen like this... we need to figure out what he did and undo it."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien snorts after they're both gone. "God, I want to beat that bitch."
* Chad`Winters keeps moving, heading towards the roof.
* Angela moves up with Zephyr and checks on Aya again.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks after Chad Winters. The sound of rain gets louder as they get closer to the roof.
* Ariel shakes her head, "She's doing what she thinks is best..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah, only no one in this group agrees.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr strokes back some of Aya's hair, glancing at the girl.
* Chad`Winters steps onto he room, the rain pouring down on him.
<Drasek`> I do. *he says after a moment, glancing at Darien*
<Chad`Winters> NRP: the roof
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... 6* He looks at Drasek oddly.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps onto the roof as well. The rain is cold and wet, and mats her hair down around her face pretty quickly, soaking her kimono through
<DeathStar> <Darien> And why do you agree?
* Angela looks down at the scan.
<Chad`Winters> Erevis I need your help. 6He stands there, his back turned to her.
* Ariel looks to Angela, "I know you shouldn't...do you have any records on Zephyr's aging process?"
<DeathStar> 6* So far, things are going ahead as they have been.
<Drasek`> Time is a tricky thing. She could make things much much more worse if she helped.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Chad Winters. There is little I can do to help you.
<Chad`Winters> Because you can't or because you don't know how to.
<Angela> "All I know is the information on the DNA machine she used to unlock it."
<Angela> "I used the same machine to become human."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> There is a mixture of both; mostly of the latter. My memories were scrambled the probe. Certain things are not correct anymore.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know why she is aging. And I do not remember what is done about it.
<Chad`Winters> Than what would you have me do Erevis? 6He turns to look at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien grunts.
<Drasek`> Ah, a grunt. That's classy. *he smiles*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks troubled. "I do not know what should be done, Chad Winters."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pinches the bridge of his nose. "Look, people are going to die and suffer if we she withholds. I'll take the chances of a time whatever."
* Chad`Winters runs his hand through his hair. 1"I've put everything into your belief right now Erevis. Even the last thing I have to remind me of Eve."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis crosses her arms. Her body is clearly shivering, but she refuses to say anything about the conditions on the roof. "I know."
<Drasek`> That's life, mate. People live, people die. I understand where you're coming from, but usually when one tries to allude time, it just catches up with them later down the road.
<Angela> "Drasek."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sighs, looking completetly out of her game. "Aya...."
* Angela motions to Aya. "Tell that to her."
* Ariel glares at the others, "Can we damn well try to HELP the child instead of pointing fingers?"
<Chad`Winters> And this is how you repay this trust? 6He waves his hand about. 1"I'm just supposed to go alongside the fact that somethign is happening to my daughter and knowing that you could hold the answer to stop this and pretend it'll all work out in the end?
<Drasek`> Don't start. *he says to Angela* I don't want anything to happen to the little bit, either.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien spins to eye Ariel. "The fact is nothing CAN be done to help her. And Erevis has the answer."
<Drasek`> Then let's hope Chad can get the information he need, eh? *he glances at them all*
<Angela> "She's right, enough of this, Ere won't help, let's help ourselves."
<Ariel> "So you're just going to roll over and let her die because Erevis said that it would happen?"
<Angela> "Is anything left of that lab we rescued her from?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> No
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sighs, sitting on the roof edge. "If I could point you in the right direction, I would do so."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I don't know. It blew up pretty good
* Angela starts up some other analysis programs, doing what she can to figure out teh source of the changes.
* Chad`Winters turns eyeing Erevis. 1"What if that's why you came back Erevis?"
<Angela> "A fever... rapid changes to her being... this is ironically familiar."
* Ariel nods, and looks to Angela. "You know that 'DNA machine', right? Is it likely the same technology that was used in this situation?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am quite aware of why I am back. And it is not to change events. These events happened before I went back, and will happen again.
* Drasek` takes this time to go get more ice.
<Angela> "COuld be, it's pretty much what made me an Omega in the first place."
<Chad`Winters> You helped me before Erevis. Why won't you do it now?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Because I cannot remember.
<Angela> "Grafting yours and Cran's DNA into my being at a young age. Of course... Aya already has Cran's DNA. So I don't see why'd they'd bother changing her."
<Chad`Winters> Than remember.
* Kuroichigo has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Ariel> "I won't claim this machine makes any sense to me... but if it's the same thing that lets Zephyr jump back and forth in age... couldn't we find the trigger for that to reverse Aya's situation?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks up at him, her expression tense. She stands and turns around to look over the city, putting her back to him. "You should focus on saving your daughter's life." 6* She doesn't budge, perhaps not until she remembers something
<DeathStar> <Darien> I thought Zephyr aged because of something else entirely.
<Angela> "Not sure, I think the ability for age hopping was part of Zephyr to begin with."
<Chad`Winters> That's what I'm trying to do Erevis. Because if I know myself, I know I would've told you something to tell me in the past.
<Angela> "BUt she was locked into a 15 year old state for the purposes of her assassination role... it's all theory though."
* Drasek` comes back in with more ice and helps Zephyr spread it around the tub, keeping quiet for now.
<DeathStar> <Darien> All the Dragoons are locked in an age status, though
* Angela looks at Aya, biting her lip a little.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at Drasek. "I'm scared."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Zephyr's the only one who ages now.
<Angela> "None as young as Zeph was... yeah... I even stopped aging at 18."
<Angela> "And I was still technically human."
<Ariel> "That's not the point."
<Ariel> "Aya is aging. Now."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah. She looks about 4 now.
<Ariel> "If she's ment for that to happen or not, it IS happening."
<Angela> "Cran's projects were into a lot of different genetic munipulations."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Your father
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks back at Chad Winters.
* Chad`Winters looks at Erevis. 1"Alexander Cran. What of him?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> He has the answers. 6* She squints, her body still shivering.
<Angela> "Dragoons weren't the only projects, the work that brought Chad and Dias into being... for example, was also something he had his fingers in."
<Ariel> "Is sitting there and saying 'Well, that might not be it', better than not trying to confirm it or not?"
<Angela> "I'm thinking, Ari, I don't see you pulling answers out of a hat either."
* Chad`Winters lowers his head. 1"Thank you Erevis."
* Drasek` stays silent for a long time and then just places a hand on Zephyr's shoulder. "It'll be alright, bit."
* Angela keeps running scans, doing what she can.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And he is alive.
* Chad`Winters tilts his head, eyeing Erevis oddly. 1"How. I saw his soul back on the Soul Collector planet."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know. 6* She holds her head painfully. "I cannot remember where he is at, either. But he is behind all of this, I believe."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Perhaps if you attempted to find him, he will find you?
* Kuroichigo has joined #Erevis
* Chad`Winters clenches his fist. 1"Agreed." He turns, moving back inside.
<Angela> "If we had something, anything to LOOK for, we might be able to do something."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks exhausted, and leans back on the roof ledge.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, we could try the lab that blew up, but I think that would be a dead end. And frankly, all the Dragoon labs are gone by now, I think. We've blown up so many.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... I hope so.
* Chad`Winters steps into his room, water dripping off him. 1"We're going to find Cran."
<Angela> "Not all of them. Pretty sure of it."
* Angela looks up at him.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks at Chad. "Right. What the fuck kind of info did she give you?"
<Angela> "We're going to WHAT?"
* Drasek` glances up, looking at Chad.
* Chad`Winters moves into the bathroom and grabs his datapad. He pulls up the archived information he got from the Cran Mansion
<Angela> "Chad, are you well? We both saw him cross over."
* Ariel wonders if Erevis' memory is damaged
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps into the room finally, dripping water. She looks soaked and wet, and shivering. But she doesn't move to dry herself.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I got it! We're after his ghost!
<DeathStar> 6* Darien rolls his eyes.
* Angela looks at Darien.
<Chad`Winters> Angela do a search on the net on Alexander Cran and make it obvious.
<Angela> "Actually... that'd make sense with Cran."
<Angela> "Sure."
<Kuroichigo> * Megumi clasps around Erevis from behind, leaning her head into her back and remaining quiet.
* Drasek` stands up and grabs a towel, he reaches it out to Erevis.
* Chad`Winters 's eyes begin darting across his datapad.
* Angela sighs and takes out her datapad, and starts doing an search on Cran, hitting multiple resources.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at it blankly, then takes it. She holds it.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks worried. "Get's growing so fast, Chad."
<DeathStar> *she
<Ariel> "I don't know how we are supposed to find someone who passed into the after life... are we certain her memories aren't messed up?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> That or she's a good liar.
<Angela> "I figured watching his soul cross over might confirm it, but then again I've seen other confirmed kills of him and he's still lived."
<Ariel> "...I don't think she'd lie about this."
<Drasek`> Dry youreself. You'll catch a cold. *he says simply, turning to go grab more ice, since that makes him feel like he's helping*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis complies, though she's unethusastic about this
<DeathStar> 6 *Darien bites his tongue, lest he make his honey not put out
<Kuroichigo> Megumi "Looking for something does not always yield obvious or expected results."
* Angela keeps searching, "Oh tehre's plenty here, Cran's got lots of books, articles, hell, I'm in here a ton too."
<Ariel> "...she wants to preserve the timeline. I don't think purposely killing her friends or their family was part of that."
<Chad`Winters> I dont' care what it's about, just keep searching it over and over.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I got it. Lets post a message on the HoloNet saying, "Dear Alexander Cran, got a sick grandchild. CAre to help?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sounds sarcastic
<Angela> "Oh here's his inauguration... ...I've got an idea..."
* Angela starts searching Cran's name with lists of ancient conquerers, especially Alexander the Great.
<Angela> "Feed the ego... yes... come to Angie..."
* Chad`Winters eyes Darien. 1"Post out. The Heir to A Crayon, a sickened Dynasty.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien raises a brow. "Seriously?"
* Chad`Winters grunts. His eyes focusing on his datapad
* Ariel rests against the wall, feeling useless right now.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses, then shrugs, posting the strange ass message.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at Ariel quietly, appreciative, but quiet.
* Angela sighs and posts a few odd ones as well.
* Drasek` just keeps doing the ice thing, but Aya's temp is melting it pretty quickly.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr focuses on Aya, looking completely oblivious right now
<DeathStar> 6* So far, no responses. Perhaps Erevis really is out of it
* Ariel looks to Erevis, "...you're sure this is the way?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am not sure of much, no.
<Angela> "I could log into some old sites I used when I was in high school... but I'm afraid I'd red flag us."
<Chad`Winters> Than your useless. 6He hooks his datapad on his belt and moves back into the bathroom, kneeling beside Zephyr. He reache sout and touches Aya's forehead.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya doesn't appear to be doing well. And she appears to be five by now
<Angela> "We're running out of time..."
* Angela sighs and keeps searching away.
<Ariel> "...Chad, do you have any records from the dragoon project?"
<Chad`Winters> No. 6He unhooks his datapad and type something on it.
<Angela> "We've got a whole museum of the Ridarium war to look up."
<DeathStar> 6* A message appears. "Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow. Come see me." 6* A set of coordinates.
* Angela eyes Chad.
* Chad`Winters pauses and eyes his datapad. 1"I see."
<DeathStar> <Darien> What? What does that mean? What is it with these code phrases?

<DS[AWAY]> <DeathStar> 6* A message appears. "Heir Today, Gone Tomorrow. Come see me." 6* A set of coordinates.
<DS[AWAY]> * Angela eyes Chad.
<DS[AWAY]> * Chad`Winters pauses and eyes his datapad. 1"I see."
<DS[AWAY]> <DeathStar> <Darien> What? What does that mean? What is it with these code phrases?
* Drasek` uses his pillow case trick to set up containers for the ice and begins to issue it out to Ariel and Angela before the freezer goes empty. "That's all we have."
<Angela> "To the shuttle then..."
<DS[AWAY]> <Darien> I'll get it ready.
<DS[AWAY]> 6* Darien heads out
* DeathStar has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Chad`Winters steps onto the roof, letting the cold rain hit him. He moves towards Darien's shuttle, holding Aya tightly.
* DS[AWAY] is now known as DeathStar
* ChanServ sets mode: +o DeathStar
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns to go as well, giving Megumi's cheek a gentle stroke with her cold, ice hands
* Angela lugs up some ice, stopping to grab her coat and pull it on, grabbing her gun and holstering it before following up.
* Drasek` carries 4 pillow cases to the roof.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr has moved out with Chad, not letting Aya out of her sight
<Kuroichigo> Megumi "You wish me to stay, beloved?"
* Chad`Winters looks over at Drasek. 1"Tap the wall beside the portrain of Aya. Grab my tact belt and both my guns from in there."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is your choice, as always.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: portrait.
<Drasek`> Sure. *he sets the ice down and moves back to get the stuff for Chad, doing as he instructed*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves up the roof, still pretty wet, though she did dry off.
<Kuroichigo> Megumi "I always wish to be by your side."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien flicks some switches, powering the shuttle up. It purrs with ancient engines
<DeathStar> <Darien> So, what are the chances this isn't going to be a friendly, civilized welcome?
<Chad`Winters> High. 6He moves onto the shuttle.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Family.
* Drasek` comes back with Chad's things and reaches them out to him, stepping onto the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr steps on, shaking off some water, then gets ready a spot for Aya and the ice.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis gets onto the shuttle, sitting far away from the others.
<Chad`Winters> Expect guns. 6He nods to Drasek and motions to the floor.
* Angela gets onto the shuttle, checking her weapons.
<DeathStar> 6* As Chad moves, he would almost, ALMOST catch his own reflection smiling back at him in one of the mirrors.
* Drasek` places them to the side, standing towards the ramp of the shuttle.
<Angela> "I do love family gatherings, we always manage to blow things up..."
* Chad`Winters get's a distant look briefly then he just clicks his tongue in response to Angela. 1"Zephyr, is it ready?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yes.
* Ariel gets on the shuttle with the valuable ice.
* Angela clicks her tounge back at him.,
<DeathStar> 6* Darien finishes, then looks b ack. "Close the ramp."
* Chad`Winters sets Aya down then moves over and grabs his two guns and his tact belt, putting them on.
<Drasek`> Sure. *he steps over to push the button when he slips on some water and tumbles down the ramp.* Bloody hell! *he curses, laying there in the rain*
<Ariel> "......"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sighs. "Brilliant."
* Angela shakes her head.
* Chad`Winters unholsters Ebony and he holds it out to Zephyr. 1"I want you to hold onto this."
* Kuroichigo is now known as Megumi
* Drasek` sighs and sits up, goes to stand then pauses. "...oh bugger, I'm not going anywhere."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr takes it. "Okay. But shouldn't we check on Drasek?"
<Angela> "He'll live."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien motions. "Close the ramp, then."
* Megumi eyes Erevis, seemingly anxious, but since she seperated herself, she's hesitant about invading her space
* Drasek` stands, and limps towards the door. It appears his hurt his ankle.
* Drasek` is now known as Xan|Gone
* Angela looks at Meg, then at the others, "All aboard then?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien drums his fingers, waiting
* Chad`Winters kneels down by his backpack and he unzips it. He undoes his tact belt and sets it down. He spread sthe contents of the bag onto the floor. 1"Zephyr, promise me to not give me that gun back no matter what."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... Why? 6* She sounds concerned.
<Chad`Winters> I have a bad feeling. 6He glances around and throws ak nife into the close ramp button.
<DeathStar> <Darien> HEY
<DeathStar> 6* The ramp button is hit, and closes.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glares.
* Angela sighs and pulls it out, she grabs something off her belt and starts fixing the button. "Nothin that can't be fixed Darien..."
* Chad`Winters tosse his datapad to Darien. 1"Those coordinates."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shifts the controls, and lifts them up into the air. He gets hit by the datapad. "OW!
* Chad`Winters begins to reload his tact belt, his eyes focused on the stuff infront of him
<Angela> "Great, he's throwing things."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien rubs his head, then picks it up
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6* She turns her attention back to Aya for now.
* Ariel watches over the little one, keeping the ice near by for when it needs to be changed.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya's age appears to be hitting 7 now. Ah, the informative years.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien flies them above the storm, flipping some unknown switch on his awesome shuttle.
* Chad`Winters sits his only gun on the shuttle floor and pulls the clip out, checking it. He slide sit back in and cocks it flicking the safety off before putting it back into it's holster.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hm. Well, Ariel should be happy.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien muses outloud after a moment.
<Angela> "I've got a backup Chad..."
<Ariel> "...I... what?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> The coordinates. We're going to the Arctic.
<DeathStar> <Darien> And I didn't pack a coat.
<Angela> "Tell me you at least packed emergency blankets..."
<Ariel> "You mean... it's not an underground base?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances up at the mention of their location
<DeathStar> <Darien> Maybe it's in the ice!
<DeathStar> <Darien> Emergency what?
* Chad`Winters seems to bei n his own little world right now. He tosses the empty backpack to the side and stands up, putting hte tact belt on. He moves over to Aya, kneeling beside Zephyr and Ariel. His attention focused on Aya.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya remains in a feverish unconscious state.
* Ariel is still stunned by the idea that the base isn't underground.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at Chad.
<Angela> "It... it could be underground... I mean... him without an underground base is like... like... a giggling, happy Chad."
* Chad`Winters no longer has his neutral face on, instead a face of anger. He glances back at Angela.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shifts away from Chad some, as if afraid
* Angela blinks and looks away, she herself looks just plain unnerved.
<Angela> "Sorry... I reflexively joke when... stressed..."
<Ariel> "... on the bottom of the ocean then?"
* Chad`Winters looks back to his daughter, he rubs his hand along her cheek.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: runs
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis offers Chad a look of sympathy, as if she knows this is hard for him
<Angela> "Sorry..."
* Angela goes back to inspecting her weapons.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien remains unusually quiet, lest Chad turn his anger on him
<DeathStar> 6* Soon, they are flying over the Arctic.
* Ariel looks out the window, wondering if they still need the ice.
* Angela looks out the window and for the first time tat night, doesn't comment.
* Megumi sits by the ramp of the shuttle with her eyes closed and remains quiet aside from mentioning "I will watch the shuttle, nothing will happen to it."
* Chad`Winters pulls his sweatshirt off and his pants, revealing his tact suit. 1"Give me a hand Zephyr."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr opens and closes her mouths. "W-With what?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> We're getting closer now
* Chad`Winters hands her his sweatshirt and his pants and motions to Aya as he lifts her up.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods, clearing her mind, and moves to help Chad
* Angela puts her weapons away and zips up her long coat, pulling on gloves and pulling the hood over her head.
<DeathStar> 6* Upahead is a huge block of ice. Darien flies toward it.
<DeathStar> 6* Bringing them down, Darien eyes as part of the ice moves, revealing a hanger. "Mad scientist."
<DeathStar> 6* He flies them into the hanger.
* Chad`Winters lifts Aya up, still keeping the towel wrapped around her.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr opens the ramp as soon as the shuttle stops moving
* Chad`Winters turns moving down it as it starts to get level
<Ariel> "...this still doesn't feel right."
<DeathStar> 6* A group of men, holding weapons, steps out of a door across the hanger, with one guy dressed up with them. They begin to approach the shuttle
<DeathStar> <Darien> Does it ever?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr steps down with Chad.
<Chad`Winters> Where's Alexander Cran. 6He advances towards the men.
<DeathStar> <Man> That will be addressed shortly. Please, bring the child to the medical bay.
<DeathStar> 6* He motions through the door they came in
* Angela looks at the rest still on board.
* Chad`Winters twitches slightly and he moves towards the door.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps down, wearing no coats. The air is even chillier to her now, thanks to Chad and the rain
<DeathStar> 6* Darien is still at his controls, flicking some extra switches. He stands and hurries off.
* Ariel glances at Angela, then heads out. She's still dressed for California... not that it's any surprise for her.
<DeathStar> 6* The welcome committee turn to lead the way.
* Angela heads up the rear.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, so far they are't shooting us
<Ariel> "Good sign, I think."
<DeathStar> 6* They are led through a hallway to a medical bay, where a team of doctors are waiting
* Chad`Winters studies the doctors and the equipment quickly. 1"You'll stop this."
* Megumi tilts her head slightly, remaining crosslegged and arms crossed on the shuttle floor-- probably blind to the welcomers.
<DeathStar> <Doctor A> Place her on the examination table, Mr. Winters.
* Angela crosses her arms and watches.
* Chad`Winters sets her down. He unholsters his pistol.
<DeathStar> 6* The guard troope shift with their weapons
<DeathStar> 6* The doctors begin to run scans, musing to one another. The man who spoke to them in the hanger speaks again. "Perhaps we should leave the doctors to their work while you speak with Mr. Cran?"
<Chad`Winters> What word do I have that my daughter will be left unharmed by you people?
<DeathStar> <Man> We have no intention of hurting the child
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at the man, then at Chad. "If you desire, I will remain here."
<Chad`Winters> She's my daughter, and the last thing I'll have is you having your way with her. 6He looks at Erevis. Then reaches into his tact belt, pulling a device out.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr bites her lower lip.
<DeathStar> <Man> Really, now, Mr. Winters. What is that?
<Chad`Winters> Insurance. 6He moves over to Erevis and hands it to her and a comm piece. 1"Anything strange you let me know."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Naturally. I give you my word, I will deal with them accordingly if they do anything suspicious.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes the device.
* Angela looks between them.
<DeathStar> <Darien> She doesn't lie, either.
* Chad`Winters holsters his gun. 1"Take me to Cran." He looks at a guard.
<DeathStar> <Man> PLease, follow me. 6* He steps out of the medical bay into the hallway.
* Chad`Winters turns, his eyes narrowed and still focused as he moves after the man.
* Angela follows after Chad.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien and Zephyr step out
<DeathStar> 6* The man walks along in silence; he seems well trained and doesn't even attempt idle chit chat.
* Ariel steps out, more curious about Cran than the doctors.
<DeathStar> 6* They are led to a room at the end of the hallway. The man taps the door open button, revealing a conference room. He motions them inside
* Chad`Winters 's eyes barely glance around as he follows the man, but it's a good bet he's studying hte lay out as he moves.
* Chad`Winters moves inside.
* Angela steps inside, taking a seat.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves inside, glancing around. He spots a camera facing them.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr moves in. "I don't like this. But that's pretty obvious, right?"
* Chad`Winters stands, his left hand on his holster
<DeathStar> <Familiar, Yet Different Voice> Hello, Chad. Ariel. Mother. Alpha Zephyr. Starr.
<DeathStar> 6* The voice comes over a comm as the doors close behind them
* Angela seems satisfied she's not mentioned. She sits back.
<Chad`Winters> Smart choice not showing yourself. 6There's definetly an intent to kill in his voice.
* Ariel pauses. Uncomfortable.
<DeathStar> <Voice> Well, I'm not too worried, but I won't make a mistake here. Unlike others.
* Angela blinks, thinking about who he addressed though. Looking at Ariel.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands around, glancing around the room
<DeathStar> <Voice> First, let me tell you I was not behind what happened to your child.
<Chad`Winters> Than what word do I have that you'll stop what's happening?
<DeathStar> <Voice> Stop it? Why would I stop it?
<Chad`Winters> Because if you don't, I won't stop Legion from showing up.
<Ariel> "......"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stares at Chad. "You do realize we're here, too."
<DeathStar> <Voice> Is that so?
<Chad`Winters> You tell me.
<DeathStar> <Voice> You see, the very fact is Aya is important to stopping Legion, Chad.
<Chad`Winters> My child will have nothing to do with this.
* Angela looks at Darien.
<DeathStar> <Voice> It's too late, Chad. What Hodges did was set in motion plans that are transforming her
<Chad`Winters> I don't care, stop it now.
<DeathStar> <Voice> No.
<Angela> "into what?"
<Chad`Winters> Than we have nothing else to talk about. 6He turns to move.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr crosses her arms
<DeathStar> <Voice> If you wish to end this conversation, I will grant you that.
* Chad`Winters pauses, grinding his teeth. 1"You're obvioulsy not the real Cran. He died. So what are you than?"
<DeathStar> <Voice> Why would I play all my cards?
<Chad`Winters> Than you're obviously not in this base. 6He glances over at the camera.
<DeathStar> <Voice> I won't dignify that by bursting out with a heated answer.
<DeathStar> <Voice> If you want to discuss Aya's future, then I suggest. You. Sit.
<Ariel> "Can the process be reversed?"
* Chad`Winters twitches visibly, his hand gripping his gun tightly
<Angela> "Why bother asking, like he'll tell us."
<DeathStar> <Voice> The aging will occur no matter what. Aya is human. Deaging her is improbable, despite Angela's ability to do so.
<DeathStar> <Voice> However, the second phase of the transformation was never implemented, according to my doctors.
* Chad`Winters sits down.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Phase 2. Great.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks a bit angry right now.
<DeathStar> <Voice> I intend to implement it.
<Chad`Winters> Like hell.
<Angela> "What are you doing to her?"
<DeathStar> <Voice> Your child's very important, Chad. A child of a Weapon. And having Eve Summers' DNA to boot? She will make what Angela failed to be.
* Angela balls her hand into a fist.
<DeathStar> <Voice> The fact is the Alphas and Mother herself are outdated, and incapable of dealing with Legion. And Legion has been very busy
<Chad`Winters> I did not have her so she could be your play toy.
<DeathStar> <Voice> She is not a toy, Chad. She is my grand child, and the future of this race.
<DeathStar> 6* He actually sounds angry for once.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah, real parental love there.
<Angela> "You're not Cran."
<Chad`Winters> Than let her choose her own life instead of dictating it like you did with all your children.
<DeathStar> <Voice> She's too young to grip the weight of the situation. She needs to be given the transformation powers that the Alphas had now.
* Kit has joined #erevis
<Chad`Winters> It'll be over my dead body.
* Megumi has quit IRC (Quit: jmIrc destroyed by the OS)
<Angela> "And mine, I won't let you do this to another one of us."
<DeathStar> <Voice> You do realize that Legion has already attacked every remaining V.I. and Janus base there is? He's acquired all the files and the DNA and all the records. He has everything. He knew everything that should not have been known
<DeathStar> <Voice> I viewed the record of your battles before. With this, he's even more deadly.
<DeathStar> <Voice> Aya can stand against him
<Chad`Winters> And so you'd rather thrust the weight of the world on her shoulders without her consent?
<DeathStar> <Voice> Would you rather wait until there's no world left to bare?
<Chad`Winters> I won't allow that to happen.
<DeathStar> <Voice> The transformation will be most successful now while she's still aging. Not after it's halted.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... She's just a kid, Cran
<Angela> "Why not someone willing, why are you doing this to her?"
<DeathStar> <Voice> I did not start it. But I will not pass it up. Besides, Chad. Think about this
<DeathStar> <Voice> Zephyr could change her age at will. Aya will, too, afterward. She can be 3 again
* Angela is shaking.
<Chad`Winters> Your words mean nothing to me. My child is not your weapon.
<DeathStar> <Voice> So what? You'll make her lose 12 years of her life?
<DeathStar> <Darien> *grinds his teeth* This is bullshit.
<Chad`Winters> I'll give her 70 years of her life.
<DeathStar> <Voice> Mother. 6* He addresses her finally. "You understand the need for responsibility. Explain to Chad here why the life of one girl being made into a fighter is not a bad thing."
* Angela looks at Ariel, oh she'd love to hear this one.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien already knowS Ariel will tell Cran to fuck off
* Ariel is oddly hesitant to speak.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6* She looks at Ariel.
* Angela looks at her, blinking a little, waiting for her to say it.
* Ariel looks away, "...leave me out of this."
<DeathStar> <Voice> And there you go, Chad.
<DeathStar> <Voice> Do you propose you wait until Legion rips Aya to death, and she not have the power to stop him?
* Angela stares dumbfounded at her, she looks at Darien, then back at Chad.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances down, clearly surprised, too
<Angela> "Isn't there ANY other way?"
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue, only narrowing them even more at that.
<DeathStar> <Voice> Frankly, very few people are capable of what was done to you, Angela Bennet.
<DeathStar> <Voice> Aya is the elite choice, because of her DNA.
<Angela> "You... Cran... did it to me once already."
* Angela 's voice cracks as she says it.
<DeathStar> <Voice> Ariel and the Weapons Project were blueprints. But neither of them can be altered. Augmented, yes. I could make ARiel stronger, but not what is needed. I can't make her take others' powers. And the Alphas can only get one power. You were flawed, and failed to get the power I wanted - the power of all. Chad is unable, too, because he's already enhanced.
<Chad`Winters> Wait, the power to do what?
<Angela> "Then send me back in, I've learned already. DOn't put her through this."
<DeathStar> <Voice> The power of taking others' moves. It's the only way to beat Legion
<DeathStar> <Voice> You fight fire with fire.
<DeathStar> <Voice> I have observed that he possessed most of your abilities already.
<Chad`Winters> You idiot. 6He stands up. 1"AND HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT THIS ISN'T HOW IT STARTS?
<Angela> "Wait... Legion could be AYA?"
<DeathStar> <Voice> I find it highly unlikely.
<DeathStar> <Voice> I have not gotten a good scan of Legion, though, to do the comparison.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Tch. Legion's from the future, you fucktard.
<Angela> "Sounds hella likely to me."
<Chad`Winters> Stop this now.
<DeathStar> <Voice> I will not. However.... 6* He pauses, apparantly not knowing the future thing
<DeathStar> <Voice> If we could confirm, I would not go through with it. If Aya was Legion...
* Chad`Winters grinds his teeth. 1"What do you need done?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Right. So we prove Aya is Legion, you won't zap her. And if we prove she isn't, you zap her. Great.
<DeathStar> <Voice> A scan of Legion would be optimal, unless you know someone who could answer that question
<Ariel> "...what will you do, if Aya IS Legion?"
<DeathStar> <Voice> I would never create that monster.
<Chad`Winters> How much time do you need to scan him properly.
<DeathStar> <Voice> After all, erasing him from existence is the best tactic.
<DeathStar> <Voice> To do a complete scan with no failure, 5 minutes. Because I have to do simulations on what Aya's DNA will be after the transformation
<Chad`Winters> How far away can you reach?
<DeathStar> <Voice> Close range. Someone within shooting distance of say, a sniper rifle.
<Angela> "Well we've got three really good shooters here."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'll do whatever it takes.
<Angela> "So we distract him for 5 minutes... seems an eternity with a guy like him... but it's for Aya."
<DeathStar> <Voice> I imagine, even if you do confirm or disconfirm, we will have to continue the debate about transforming her, correct?
<Chad`Winters> Give me the optimal distance and I'll bring him in. Darien get an escape strategy prepared.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Do we really want to get him near this place, Chad? He'd likely just go to the base and blow us all up, including Aya.
<DeathStar> <Darien> We should lure him elsewhere.
<Angela> "We've seen this stuff can be reversed 'Cran.'"
<DeathStar> <Voice> Your DNA was a failure. The technique has been fixed.
* Chad`Winters runs his hand through his hair. 1"Find me a good location."
<Angela> "...You made this permenant?"
<DeathStar> <Voice> The transformation is one way.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods, then takes out his datapad.
* Chad`Winters presses his hand to his ear. 1"You get all this Erevis?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. I have heard everything.
<Chad`Winters> <C> And what are they doing to Aya?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> They are observing her. I have not allowed them to do any thing to her. However, her age is 10 years old, Chad Winters. She will be reaching the final age soon.
<Chad`Winters> Darien.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Okay, I think I got a location not too far from here.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks up.
* Angela shakes her head. "I'd do anything to stop this..."
<DeathStar> <Voice> Is that so? 6* He sounds intriqued.
<Angela> "Yes. I can't wish this on another."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I have a battle plan, if it's example. We need Erevis to lure out Legion. So, we need to pick our best fighters to distract Legion
<Chad`Winters> Than let's move. 6He turns, moving out.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Me, Ariel, and Zephyr.
<DeathStar> <Darien> We'll leave Angela here with Aya.
* Chad`Winters stops looking at Darien.
<DeathStar> <Darien> And you get the scan
* Chad`Winters twitches slightly. 1"Fine."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Unless you'd rather leave a big gun behind.
* Angela looks down, "Yeah... I'll keep an eye on her... I kinda know what it's like to wake up at that age."
* Chad`Winters looks at Zephyr than at Darien. 1"This is my daughter."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Your call, man.
<DeathStar> <Darien> We can leave myself or Zephyr behind.
<DeathStar> <Darien> But I think I'd do better against Legion than Angela. No offense.
<Chad`Winters> Agreed.
<Angela> "None taken."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Then lets do it.
<Chad`Winters> How far away is it so I can keep track.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands up. "Angela, get to med bay to relieve Erevis."
<Angela> "Alrighty..."
<DeathStar> <Voice> I have already put the instructions in a datapad being given to you.
* Angela starts standing up. Looking waery.
* Ariel frowns a little, "Will he get here soon enough?"
<Angela> *weary
<Chad`Winters> It'll be instantly.
<DeathStar> 6* The door opens and a man holds out a datapad to Chad.
* Chad`Winters takes the datapad, eyeing it
<DeathStar> 6* Darien heads back for the shuttle.
* Angela looks to see if they'll let her out yet.
<DeathStar> 6* No one stops Angela.
* Angela shrugs and heads out for the med bay.
* Chad`Winters moves with Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien flashes his datapad at Chad. It reads: This guy seems eager to accomodate us. Why?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns when Angela arrives. Her expression is very serious, as if there were a turning point here for everyone
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Angela Bennet.
* Ariel heads along, trying to get her mind focused for the upcoming fight. This will NOT be fun...
* Angela looks at her.
<Angela> "What?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Sacrificing one self for another is a great thing. However, one should be sure of what they accept before they do it. Destiny is not set to one path.
* Chad`Winters grunts. He puts the datapad away and pulls out his.
<Angela> "If given the choice... she benefits. I owe Eve that much."
* Angela looks over at Aya.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> *inclines her head* Then I wish for your safety. However, know that while you may free her from a terrible fate, you cannot reverse everything, or fix everything
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps out for the hanger.
<Angela> "Even if I can only make it better for her, I will..."
<Chad`Winters> 6Flashes his datapad: No clue. But this is my only option right now.
* Angela crosses her arms, hating cryptic clues to no end.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps into the shuttle, taking his pilot's seat.
<Kit> <Megumi> Welcome back.
* Angela walks over to watch Aya.
* Chad`Winters fishes 4 orbs from his belt and hands them to Darien. 1"When I get the scan, use these to shatter through the ice in an attempt to sink him below.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods. Zephyr checks Ebony once, then looks at everyone. She seems determined. ERevis steps onto the shuttle
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Once Legion sees me, I should be able to draw most of his attention, allowing you the time you desire.
<Kit> <Megumi> ...Legon?
* Chad`Winters moves back to Zephyr. 1"Don't do anything dangerous. Please."
<DeathStar> <Darien> We have to scan him, Megumi. And survive long enough to do it
<Kit> 6Megumi turns slowly, but still doesn't make many moves.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not believe there will be many things taht will not be undangerous. However, I wish to do this.
<Kit> <Megumi> ...This is far more along the borderlines of what humans would refer to as suicidal than you would normally prevail as a sane decision.
<DeathStar> <Darien> It's for Aya. So we do it
<Kit> <Meugmi> If beloved insists... I will ..not stop it.
<Chad`Winters> When you're ready I'll leak the info.
<Ariel> "Fortunately... the objective is to stall. Not to defeat."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien motions for someone to close the ramp.
<Kit> <Megumi> I would not even think that I could hope to 'defeat' it just yet.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I can handle Legion. I'm the dragoon buster girl.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Right?
<Kit> 6Megumi almost laughs, but refrains.
* Chad`Winters nods to Zephyr.
<Chad`Winters> I believe our best option for a retreat will be to send him into the arctic ocean.
<Kit> <Megumi> I trust Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis closes the ramp. She seems utterly serious
<DeathStar> <Darien> Lets hope it works. So far, he seems to know what we'll do and when we'll do it.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shifts the throttle, and the shuttle takes off.
<DeathStar> <Voice behind Angela> So, tell me.
* Angela blinks, she turns slowly. "Tell you what?"
<DeathStar> 6* A man in his twenties stands there. But it's undeniable who he is. It's Alexander Cran. "For someone who gave up ultimate power to be human, what truly motives you to accept it again?"
