Session Start: Thu Feb 21 00:00:00 2008
Session Ident: #erevis
* Chad`Winters looks over at Megumi. 1"You're an idiot if you do what I think you're gonna do."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya peers about. She seems scared and excited.
<Xanatos> Let her do what she wants. *he says once, before turning to move and sit down*
* Megumi kneels, gripping the ramp. She stares over a shoulder at Chad. 1"Yes, you have called me such. However... it is my problem, so I will deal with it."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien zooms up and past the enemy ship. He's on a vector into space.
* Chad`Winters moves over and smacks the close ramp button.
<DeathStar> <Darien> That ramp needs to shut soon, or we'll be vented.
* Megumi waits until they're above the ship, and slides off.
* Seraphna looks at Darien. "Chad's got it."
<DeathStar> <Darien> That IDIOT.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis says nothing her. Her expression is strangely worried.
* Seraphna looks over and stares. "God Damnit..."
* Chad`Winters growls slightly, an irritated look on his face.
<Xanatos> Guy killed the people that saved her from the wilds.
<DeathStar> 6* Gravity yanks Megumi down
<DeathStar> 6* Darien brings them back around, doing a loop in the sky.
<Chad`Winters> Loop us and we'll catch her with the ramp entryway. 6he grabs onto a rail tightly and smacks the button to open the ramp
* Xanatos sighs. "You're just going to piss the nitwit off."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien grunts, keeping the controls as steady as he can for this.
* Megumi squints toward the Famfrit ship, focusing quietly, taking her time to do so. When she estimates she would be within the ship's auric resistance, she brings her left hand down and slams her own into, intent on forming a smaller point and getting through it.
<DeathStar> 6* The ship jsut moves.
<Seraphna> "Note to self... perfect a grappling beam, and give Darien one."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien brings the shuttle around, trying to get them in range of Megumi
* Megumi reaches out with her left hand and forms the chain daggers, hurtling one at the moving ship. It was hit with hyperspace. ;_;
<DeathStar> 6* He twists so the wing of the shuttle is hit by the chain daggers, then spins and zooms upward.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Now THAT is flying.
<Chad`Winters> Less gawking and more catching
<DeathStar> <Aya> You..just damaged our shuttle, Mr. Starr.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis leans forward. Suddenly, invisible hands yank Megumi inside the shuttle.
* Chad`Winters grabs onto Megumi as she's yanked in. He hits the ramp button, closing it
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes the radar. "I think, Megumi, you pissed him off with that attack. He's following us."
* Megumi erks audibly, then rather quickly fights against Chad, still clutching the absurd scythe. 1"Let me go!"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves up behind Megumi, wrapping her arms around her.
<Seraphna> "Knock her out or something."
* Chad`Winters reaches his hand up to hit a nerve cluster and knock her out when he stops, eyeing Erevis
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Xanatos. "Mind telling me what happened to make this guy burn people to death that know Meg?"
<Xanatos> Don't look at me. I have no idea what Megumi did to another Framfrit guy.
<Seraphna> "Could it have anything to do with wiping out a colony?"
* Megumi winces slightly, gazing at Erevis. She calms, but doesn't let go of the weapon.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis doesn't make her. She just holds onto Megumi, pulling her against her own body in a hug.
<Chad`Winters> Worry about it later Darien. Lose him.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes the readings. "Angela. If we enter that unstable worm hole at even faster speeds, will we pop out somewhere different?"
<Seraphna> "Highly possible."
<Chad`Winters> We shouldn't.
<DeathStar> <Darien> If we do it the normal way, he catches up to us on the 3 day journey back to Earth
<Seraphna> "He's right, we shouldn't, but it's possible."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods, then begins to put all his power into the engines. "God, I hope your highly possible isn't just guessing."
<Chad`Winters> Unlikely. But we will launch out at an incredible speed.
<Seraphna> "ONe thing though... don't hit any of the 'walls' of the wormhole."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya's eyes widen and she buckles up, as if it would help.
* Xanatos just keeps his eyes on the ceiling before pauses he moves over to Megumi and kneels down, placing his hand on her back.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Why?
<Seraphna> "It would be disasterous."
<Chad`Winters> You wanna risk collapsing a worm hole on us?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Right. Collapsing a worm hole. That's bad, right?
* Xanatos clears his throat and shoves his hand between them, feeling around Megumi's back.
<Megumi> ...I just needed to get closer... If he... gets away... it will do nothing but repeat..
<Seraphna> "Chaos theory and butterflies bad."
<DeathStar> <Darien> What's that?
<Chad`Winters> If you enjoy living, yeah.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Xanatos.
* Xanatos bites on the side of his tongue as he narrows his eyes then pulls up a silver disc. He smiles. "Thought I lost it."
<Chad`Winters> It's...Look nevermind, just don't hit the walls and be ready for anything when we emerge on the other end.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Something tells me, Megumi, he won't get away. He knows you're with us now. He'll probably just chase us
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' eyes narrow.
* Xanatos holds up a finger. "This one doesn't go boom. Don't get mad." He pockets it and stands. "Making sure I would still live if she perhaps...lost control, eh?"
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle enters the wormhole at extreme speeds. And right away, they're almost on the edge.
<DeathStar> 6* Their enemy chases.
* Megumi strains against Erevis, glaring at Darien. 1"He killed them all! They were not involved! I had not even been to Famfrit again at that time!"
* Xanatos pauses. "Maybe I should've left it on." He mumbles to himself, moving over to sit down with a shrug.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien doesn't look back. "Look. I get your pain, Meg. We'll help you get back at him. But right now, revenge has to wait . Survival is more important. Or would you rather lose even more people you care about?"
* Megumi bites her lip.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien talks to Angela and Chad. "Okay, Braintrust, what happens if I fire at the wormhole behind us? Will we be okay?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just holds Megumi. Either out of comfort or protection for the others, who nkows.
<Seraphna> "If we're out of teh wormhole when you do it... we MIGHT live."
* Chad`Winters scratches his head, thinking. 1"Well you'll obviously cause the walls to become instantly unstable.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Right, right.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Might sounds good.
<Seraphna> "If we're still in the wormhole... you'll likely fry us in a ripple effect."
<DeathStar> <Darien> That sounds bad.
<Chad`Winters> You're best bet would be to drop something down the center and make it hit the wall after we're out.
<Chad`Winters> Or set a missile on a timer.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien hums, then works on a missle
<DeathStar> <Darien> Had the thought. See? I'm smart.
<DeathStar> 6* He begins to make calculations so he can drop it without it detonating right away.
* Xanatos rubs his forehead, staring up at the ceiling now.
<Chad`Winters> Yeah, only after I brought it up.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks over at Xanatos as she holds Megumi, as if seeing if he were okay.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You know, having a high HQ just means you have more mental problems.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya counts quietly, calming herself.
* Megumi finally dissolves the scythe, seeming to calm down.
* Chad`Winters pauses and stares at Darien, he goes to say something than just stops.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien flicks a switch, dropping a missile. "Lets sure hope this works./
* Seraphna looks up from a calculation and then at Darien, as though afraid to say something.
* Xanatos has a beard and is dirty, but he seems alright. He glances at Erevis and gives her a wink, since he noticed she was looking at him.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just tilts her head.
<DeathStar> 6* As they exit the wormhole, Darien hits a button and an explosion sounds off behind them. He then tries to figure out where they are.
<DeathStar> 6* Of course, any real expert would recognize the gas giant in front of them
* Xanatos smiles. It seems he missed good ol Erevis.
<Chad`Winters> Hyperspace. Enter it now.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Bad idea, Chad, BAD IDEA
* Megumi shields her eyes. 1"Bright..." 6Then wobbles and slumps over in Erevis' grip.
<Chad`Winters> So is flying into a gas giant.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis holds her up, gently sitting down with Megumi in her lap
<DeathStar> 6* Darien twists the controls, throwing them at a 45 and hits the hyperspace button
* Seraphna holds on for dear life.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Xanatos' Home
<DeathStar> <Darien> Now THAT was flying. You Braintrust just can't appreciate it
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis has moved Megumi into the bedroom, kneeling beside her, not leaving her side.
* Megumi flounders about in bed, having a fever and all.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis puts another wet cloth on Megumi's forehead.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks serious. "I guess, if that guy lived, we're all targets because we associate with Megumi."
<Seraphna> "Who says I can't appreciate it? You did good."
* Chad`Winters just crosses his arms
* Xanatos steps out of his room wearing a towel, giving a very loud. "AAAHHH."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya eats a cookie, peering toward Megumi's bedroom now and again, but seems to know she can't do anything. Besides, fevers might mean bacteria and that freaks her out
<DeathStar> 6* She pauses to stare at Xan, her mouth dropping open
* Xanatos moves into the kitchen and opens the fridge, glancing inside.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Megumi... 6* She says softly, concern on her face. She takes the girl's hand.
* Seraphna swiftly puts her hand in front of Aya's eyes.
* Megumi stubbornly whispers. 1"I am fine."
<Seraphna> "You really don't want to stare Ata."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<Seraphna> *Aya
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks at the hand, then at Angela.
<DeathStar> <Aya> His towel looked uneven.
* Chad`Winters slowly rests his hand on his gun. Wether it's because of Xan or Angela, is hard to tell right now
* Seraphna takes it away, she blinks and stares at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien coughs
<Megumi> I cannot be sick... I m-must... determine destinational origin...
<Seraphna> "...You're Chad's kid alright."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Please rest, Megumi. I ask you to do that.
* Seraphna looks away.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks at her oddly.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Are you saying I might not be?
* Megumi opens her eyes slightly, gazing toward Erevis, then looks slightly dejected and closes them again, seeming to rest.
* Xanatos begins to chug milk from the carton. He turns to them, then drops it and gives another, "AHHH."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis leans over and kisses Megumi's lips. Supposedly love can heal a body or something
<Seraphna> "No Aya, just remarking on a similarity."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks at Chad now.
<Seraphna> "You have... extreme attention to detail."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks back at Angela.
* Seraphna isn't looking at her, or Chad.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks uneasy.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stays silent, scratching the side of his cheek.
* Xanatos puts the milk away and leans against the counter. "Well now. I hate you Angela. And I hate you Darien."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Xanatos. "What else is new?"
* Seraphna looks at him. "You hate me? Why?"
<DeathStar> 6* Aya gets up and moves outside to admire Erevis' garden and flowers.
* Xanatos snorts. "I just spent 4 days on a planet with Megumi. It could've been Erevis, we coulda bonded. But nooooo. Let's put Xan with Megumi."
<Xanatos> Don't get me started on the time it took to GET there!
<Seraphna> "You really think Ere was going to go for that?"
<Xanatos> Better her than Megumi.
<Chad`Winters> What are you talking about? You got there in no time.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Face it man. She spends about as much time with you as she does me.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis puts Megumi's hand to her cheek. "I wish I could do more for you." 6* She says quietly.
* Xanatos hmphs. "Well we're all safe. So you all can leave."
<Seraphna> "Nah, more like the amount of time Chad spends with me." *motions to Chad ignoring her existance*
<Chad`Winters> So what did we learn besides nothing?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien holds up his hands. "Right. I know when I'm not wanted. Besides, if you don't want to hear about how Erevis reacted when Angela kissed her, your loss."
* Xanatos smiles. "Then Angela can get out too."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, we learned that the Dark Ones did what they wanted, and pulled out with no traces of their presence.
<Seraphna> "I live here."
<Xanatos> My house.
<Seraphna> "And it couldn't be helped, really. I swear."
* Xanatos just thumbs towards the door.
* Megumi squeezes the hand on her own.
<Chad`Winters> Which puts us back to square one.
* Seraphna crosses her arms and looks at him.
<DeathStar> <Darine> Come on, Chad. You and I can talk theories. 6* He walks out the door.
<Xanatos> Do I look like i'm joking?
<Seraphna> "Jeez Xan, can you take a joke?"
<Seraphna> "Why would I kiss her."
<Chad`Winters> Let me get my daugher. 6He turns to head to the garden
<Xanatos> Well let's see. I've been on a jungle planet, with MEGUMI, for 4 days. I'm not in the mood.
<Seraphna> "Yeah yeah, go get some rest."
<Seraphna> "I've got a backlog of messages to deal with."
* Xanatos motions her to go away then, he turns to grab an apple, biting into it.
<Seraphna> "I'll just be in my room then."
<DeathStar> -END-

Session Start: Thu Feb 21 00:41:55 2008
Session Ident: #erevis
* Logging #erevis to 'logs\EsperNet\#erevis.20080221.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-588.5.28
<DeathStar> Location: A Resturant
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes a menu. He has been asked to eat out with Angela to discuss possible Dark One theories, so he invited Chad and Aya along without telling her. Since he would like Chad's input. Little did he know who Angela planned to bring to dinner.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien tchs, eyeing his watch.
* Seraphna has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* SeraSnoozes is now known as Angela
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Angela
* Angela arrives, taking a seat, Dawn with her. "Hey Darien, sorry about, I had to pick up a friend."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances up at Chad to judge his reaction
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks up from her menu.
<DeathStar> 6* He then pauses, realizing Dawn is there. He turns to stare slowly.
* Chad`Winters eyes Angela and her new 'friend', his face neutral. He slowly looks over at Darien now
* Angela looks at the people sitting and smiles a little. "Dawn, I believe you know Chad and Aya Winters."
<DeathStar> 6* Judging by his reaction, part of the Angel and 'friend' has him baffled.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya stares at Dawn silently.
* Angela takes a seat and opens a menu.
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... 6* He says nothing, a slight frown
<Dawn> 6Dawn eyes the group, blinking, then situates on Chad and Aya as a pair, putting his arm before him and bowing his head.
* Chad`Winters remains quiet, his eyes locked on Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks at Chad, then mouths the word "Cross-dresser", as if that explains
<Dawn> 6The next time Darien would look, Dawn is staring directly at him, eyes narrowed.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Dawn, then pauses. "Hi."
<Angela> "Dawn, take a seat, the standing it making things akward."
<Dawn> 6Dawn's expression is suddenly cheerful at Darien, he seats himself quietly.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya seems to be looking at Dawn's chest, as if trying to figure out if he was really a guy like Marcus and Dias said
* Chad`Winters sets his menu down.
* Angela browses her menu. "I thought this would be as good an introduction as any, it seems Dawn has been thrust into our fold."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien says nothing, glancing at her, then at Dawn, then at her. "Yeah. I kinda see that."
<Angela> "Not by me."
* Chad`Winters closes his eyes, his arms crossing. 1"Explain." His voice is definetly stern
* Angela looks over the menu, finding something she likes.
<Angela> "Legion's seen him with us."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien rubs the side of his face, then looks at the menu, then at Angela. "And"
<Dawn> 6Dawn sets his datapad down, then turns it around, playing back a rather 'home-made video' style clip of Legion atop Xanatos' shuttle, complete with bad audio.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya giggles.
<Dawn> 6He leans his face on his hand, resting an elbow on the table.
<DeathStar> <Darien> So he's Legion? 6* He asks casually
<Dawn> 6Dawn rolls his eyes.
* Seraphna has joined #erevis
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Seraphna
* Seraphna giggles.
<Seraphna> "No, but if Legion thinks he's one of our allies, he's a target."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, sitting here will re-enforce that.
<Dawn> 6Dawn frowns at all the giggling people. What's so funny about being on a black list?
<Chad`Winters> His best bet would be to stay away from us.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya stops giggling, then looks at the menu, hiding her face with it
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah. Far away from us.
<Seraphna> "Unless he's already marked, then that would be moving against your strategy of sticking together."
* Angela has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Dawn> 6Dawn takes his datapad back, eyeing Darien coldly.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien opens his mouth, closes, then motions at Chad
* Seraphna looks at Dawn.
* Chad`Winters opens his eyes. 1"There's nothing about him that could define him as a threat to Legion. But by being close to us, he'll only raise that level.
<Dawn> 6Dawn turns away, clutching his chest. He seems to be laughing, albeit without sound.
<Seraphna> "I don't think he really has much in the way of combat skills. But... he has abilities that could be of use to us."
<Chad`Winters> I doubt it. 6He looks over at Darien, opening his eyes again
* Seraphna tilts her head at Darien, as if silently asking the question, 'I've hinted at him a million times, ever find out about him.'
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks at Sera, then at Chad, then at Sera. "I'm with Chad on this one. Legion could kill him with his pinky. I mean, look at him."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien gestures.
<Dawn> 6Dawn leans back on his other elbow, smiling coyly at Darien.
<Seraphna> "Could probably kill most of us that way, in any one on one situation."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah, and why would we bring in a civilian who might not even have been noticed.
<Seraphna> "Dunno, Dawn, any reason to believe you've been noticed?"
* Seraphna without blinking, seems to have turned this around towards Dawn.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Chad again.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya smiles at the waitress, who arrived in the tense moment. She orders her food cheerfully.
<Dawn> 6Dawn works on his datapad for a moment, then turns it around, displaying a rather nicely romped villa. Probably not in japan.
<Chad`Winters> No man would willingly choose to put himself in this situation. 6He studies Dawn now, his eyes cold and piercing
<Seraphna> "...A villa."
<Seraphna> "Looks like it's seen better days."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stares.
<Dawn> 6Dawn eyes Chad and shrugs with sincerity. Seems he agrees with the statement.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Okay, what the hell dos that mean?
<Seraphna> "I'll take a guess, that house was yours Dawn?"
<Dawn> 6Dawn gestures at the images. Was.
<Seraphna> "And it wasn't like that before you met Legion?"
<Chad`Winters> Which can only mean you're being forced into this position by something out of your control.
<Dawn> 6Dawn eyes Angela like she's stupid.
<Seraphna> "In other words, Legion's already after him."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses, then looks at Sera. "Wait, wait, you got all that from a look?"
<Seraphna> "I was mute once you know, there's a lot to say from a look."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks at her. The waitress clears her throat awkwardly.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah, get me the steak and salad. 6* He rattles off cooking directions.
<Seraphna> "The lemon chicken and rice."
* Seraphna puts her menu down.
* Chad`Winters waves his hand, ordering nothing. 1"The real question now is, what forced you into this position. And don't say it's Legion because judging by your reaction, you only learned about him recently.
<Dawn> 6Dawn stares at those ordering food, then snatches Angela's menu and quickly browses through it. He gestures to an appetizer of mozarella sticks and orders manicotti... and espresso.
<DeathStar> 6* The waitress moves to get their orders
<DeathStar> <Darien> Alright, Dawn. Lets be honest. You're doing this so Angela will find you sexy and you can have sex with her. Right?
* Seraphna stares at Darien.
<Dawn> 6Dawn now gives Darien the moron stare.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien just smiles.
* Chad`Winters looks at Darien. 1"I don't trust him."
<Dawn> 6Dawn clicks something on the datapad, then slides it over so only Darien can see.
* Seraphna looks at Dawn, then back at Darien.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You don't trust anyone. 6* He glances at the screen
<Dawn> 6Dawn shifts to a skeptical expression of Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien laughs once, then tries to look serious
<Chad`Winters> For good reason. 6He studies Darien now
* Dawn takes his datapad back, and grins at the delivery of the appetizer. He gestures, offering some to everyone in turn.
* Dawn sets a napkin out in his lap, then moves the marinara over, taking a mozarella stick, dipping once, then chomping off the end.
* Seraphna takes one and dips, chomping away and grinning at Dawn.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks at Chad, then shrugs. It seems he doesn't know what to do.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Why do you have your hair like that? 6* She asks suddenly.
<DeathStar> 6* Staring at Dawn
* Seraphna looks at Dawn's hair.
<Dawn> 6Dawn stares blankly at Aya, then smiles and shrugs gently.
* Chad`Winters stares back. It seems he's thought of several ways to deal with this
<Seraphna> "Isn't it nice?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien taps his chin.
<DeathStar> <Aya> It's weird.
* Seraphna blinks and looks over it. "Why's it wierd? His hair's gorgeous."
<Dawn> 6Dawn rears his head back as if punched.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks at him seriously, as if this were something that must be dealt with. "Because...."
<DeathStar> <Aya> It's weird. 6* She repeats.
<Seraphna> "Nah."
* Seraphna smiles and sips her water.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya ignores Angela.
* Dawn eyes Aya for a moment, then reaches back and pulls part of his up, still tied by the ribbon, making a gesture at the length, then waving a hand toward Darien and Chad, then Aya, an eyebrow raised in confusion.
* Chad`Winters leans back in his chair, his eyes settle on Dawn.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Chad. "I think we're being judged."
<DeathStar> <Aya> Their hair isn't weird. And they don't wear ribbons.
<Seraphna> "I like his hair." *she muses softly, she then looks at Chad and Darien*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks at Sera.
<Chad`Winters> You like anyone that gives you attention. 6His eyes remain focused on Dawn
<Seraphna> "Different hair suits different people. Darien's is great the way it is too."
* Seraphna looks at Chad. "And you don't like anyone."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Uh. Thanks. I was thinking about going for a mohawk
* Dawn slowly shifts back to Chad, noticing his continued gaze. He rolls his eyes and reaches down into a case he's been carrying along with him, pulling out a book. He turns in his seat, facing away, and begins reading, waiting on his order.
<Seraphna> "Mmm."
* Seraphna seems a bit distant and shrugs, "Down to business, Dark Ones and theories."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya keeps watching Dawn. He apparently fascinates her, as a slap to her norms.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'll pass. 6* He notes to Angela.
<Chad`Winters> So will I.
* Seraphna blinks a little. "...Pass? But that's why you put this together, isn't it?"
<Dawn> 6For the astute, Dawn is reading Xanatos' book, with several placeholders marked.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah. That was before.
<Seraphna> "What, Dawn changes this?"
<Chad`Winters> Yes.
* Seraphna looks a bit confused.
<Seraphna> "Why?"
<Dawn> 6Dawn blinks, raises his head and slowly peers at Angela. Then swats her atop the head with the book.
* Seraphna puts her hand to her head and looks at him, she sighs.
<Seraphna> "Fine fine... sorry."
* Dawn goes back to reading.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses. "So, Dawn. Why ... are you reading that book?"
* Dawn doesn't bother changing posture, but looks toward Darien eyes alone, then reaches up and taps his head. Then after a moment, pauses again, then grins, gesturing a thumb at the datapad. Then shrugs.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Ah. 6* He nods once, then twice. Their food arrives, and Darien begins to cut his steak
<DeathStar> <Aya> *stares and leans forward* Why do you wear a ribbon?
* Seraphna takes a bite of chicken.
* Dawn is snapped out of a serious answer to blink at Aya again. He looks back, then places with the tassle of one tie with his finger and shrugs, expression softened.
<DeathStar> <Aya> *considers*
<Seraphna> "He likes it."
* Seraphna eats her rice, not looking at anyone anymore.
* Dawn looks to Angela, then scowls and goes back to the book.
<DeathStar> <Aya> And I want to know why. 6* She tells Angela.
<Seraphna> "Preference isn't a reason...?"
<DeathStar> <Aya> Sorry if I offended. 6* She mutters and gets up, excusing herself to the bathroom
* Seraphna looks up and at her.
* Seraphna sips her water.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eats his steak
* Dawn holds up a hand to Aya, shaking his head twice.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien smiles at Chad. "Want some of this steak?"
<Chad`Winters> No.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya, perhaps being young enough to play drama queen points, put her back to the table, and doesn't see the hand wave.
* Dawn seems to chuckle quietly.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien chews. "It's really good."
* Seraphna looks at Darien and Chad, then stifles a giggle.
<Chad`Winters> I'll take your word for it. 6His remain focused on Dawn
<Chad`Winters> NRP: eyes
* Dawn accepts his espresso, dumps in the eight cubes of sugar and adds creamer. Then adds a small amount of black pepper to the manicotti. He sips the coffee, making a pleasant expression, then moves on to take a small bite out of the pasta.
<DeathStar> <Darien> If Chad is freaking you out, he does this to everyone.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien notes to Dawn casually.
<Seraphna> "Chad... are you..."
<Seraphna> "Are you afraid of eating restaurant food?"
* Chad`Winters grunts in response.
<Dawn> 6Dawn slides his datapad over, but... never seemingly typed anything. Sure enough a message states. [His OCD creeps me out more than he does. Though I would appreciate it if his hands stay away from firearms in my presence.]
<Seraphna> "Oh god, he's speaking like Warren now."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien tries to slap his hand down on the datapad before chad reads it
* Dawn blinks and peers at Darien with humor.
* Seraphna eyes the datapad and leans in, whispering to Dawn.
* Chad`Winters narrows his eyes. A resounding click can be heard. But the question was it the safety being turned on or off.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses awkwardly.
* Seraphna giggles a bit.
<Dawn> 6Dawn seems to ignore the click, favoring another distraught skepticism at Angela.
* Seraphna smiles at Dawn fondly and takes a bite of rice.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien snaps his fingers. "I know. You're a groupie of us. Read the book, want to meet the people."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Chad, we have our own fan.
* Dawn chokes on a second bite of manicotti.
* Seraphna breaks out into a yelp that might be laughter, stifling it again.
<Seraphna> "Well... even reading the book... he wants to meet... to meet Warren... hehe..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> There you go, Chad. Dawn will be dead soon anyway.
<Chad`Winters> Why would you want to meet everyone? 6His voice remains neutral.
<Dawn> 6Dawn extends his fork, a third bite on it, he aims it at the ceiling, peering upward. Perhaps trying to think-- wasn't that a movie?
<Seraphna> "Why not?"
<Seraphna> "Chad, you might be going a bit overboard on the suspicious."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Really? I thought that would be when he tied Dawn to a chair and interrogated him
<Seraphna> "I figured he's use some serum."
<Chad`Winters> There's only a few kind of people who'd want to meet people from a book. Stalkers and people living in fantasy worlds are the highest percentile.
<Seraphna> *he'd
<Dawn> 6Dawn clicks, then turns the pad. [He's welcome to try, but seeing as I do not speak...]
<Seraphna> "He's right. Chad, you've got your work cut out for you."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya returns, putting her hands in her lap and sliding forward so his lap is under the chair
<Seraphna> "It'd be like the time you tried to get me to talk after taking my beta comms away."
* Seraphna shakes her head and eats more chicken.
* Chad`Winters slowly looks over at Angela, then leans over to Aya whispering to her.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya nods.
<DeathStar> 6* She reaches out with her right hand only, and begins to eat her food.
<Seraphna> "Yes yes, pay no attention to the devil woman."
* Seraphna sips her water.
* Chad`Winters pats Aya's knee then nods to her, his face briefly going soft
* Dawn waves a hand at Angela. He points to Aya and Chad, then makes a gun shape with his left hand, grinning as he savors the third bite.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks at Angela. "You say something?"
<Seraphna> "Me? Nope."
<DeathStar> <Aya> ... are you..going to shoot me? 6* She asks, confused.
<Seraphna> "I'm just enjoying my food."
<Seraphna> "Aya, I doubt he can even shoot a gun."
* Chad`Winters 's head instantly snaps over to Dawn.
<Dawn> 6Dawn raises an eyebrow. Then shakes his head, taking a fourth bite.
* Seraphna looks at Dawn.
<Seraphna> "Which reminds me, I should give you some lessons."
<Seraphna> "You'll need it if you plan on attaching yourselves to us."
<Seraphna> *yourself
<DeathStar> <Aya> ... Can I shoot a gun? 6* She asks Chad
<Chad`Winters> Why are you so intent on bringing him into this group, Angela?
<Dawn> 6Dawn stares blankly at Angela. What the hell is she talking about?
* Seraphna looks at Chad. "Because I'm not eager to see him die?"
* Chad`Winters holds his index finger out at Aya, signifying he heard her.
<Chad`Winters> Yet you want him around us. Who have the higher chance of runnig into Legion.
<Seraphna> "Yes, but we also have a higher chance of fighting him off."
<Seraphna> "Survivability comes in the company you keep."
* Seraphna looks at him darkly. "I chose to remain alone with Dark Ones on the loose before and I died for it."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks at Aya. "I think the dessert looks good." 6* Aya nods, grinning
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue at Angela. 1"That only holds true when the group that's together isn't forced to focus on keeping one weakling alive.
* Dawn appears to be looking for the waitress again.
* Seraphna considers numbers and people. "I'd be careful on that evaluation."
<DeathStar> 6* The waitress returns to do refills. Darien orders himself and Aya some dessert.
* Dawn holds up the menu and signifies wanting tiramisu.
* Seraphna looks over at Aya. Probably recalling all the times they risked their lives for a helpless child.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya peers at Angela peering at her
<Chad`Winters> Watch it. 6His voice definetly signifies she's crossing into a dangerous area
<Seraphna> "THen watch your standards."
* Seraphna turns back to her food.
* Dawn clicks a few things, then shifts the pad again. [There's nothing wrong with his standards.]
<Seraphna> "Psh."
<DeathStar> <Darien> The only thing, Aya, that this dinner is missing, is Auntie Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Dad says it's dangerous to bring her to fancy places like this
* Chad`Winters glances at Aya than over to Darien and shrugs
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shrugs. "Can't argue."
* Seraphna seems to be doing everything she can to not comment.
* Dawn reaches over, typing one-handed, upside-down. [The only time it becomes an issue is when multiple perspectives clash and each try to imprint their standards upon one another. Winters' standards are nothing short of an excellent father, even if he's a poor friend.]
<Seraphna> "Somewhat accurate."
* Seraphna pushes her plate away, appetite lost.
<Chad`Winters> So tell me Dawn. Why show an interest in Angela?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien peers at Angela, clearly judging something
<Dawn> 6Dawn peers at Chad, then looks to Darien, amused, then back to Chad, smirking.
* Seraphna for once, doesn't seem to be looking for other people's feelings. Even though her expression is slowly softening.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks at Dawn, then leans forward. "Why are you mute? Were you born that way?"
<Dawn> 6Dawn blinks again. Goddamn kid. He lingers, then shakes his head.
* Seraphna slowly pulls her plate back over, eating.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya nods, then looks down. She doesn't appear psychic, but she's cowed again.
<Chad`Winters> I have to wonder. Why would anyone try to return a company back to it's original creator? 6He studies Dawn.
<DeathStar> 6 The waitress arrives with the dessert. Darien takes a spoon, getting some of it and eating it.
<Chad`Winters> People rarely do anything without wanting something in return. So that brings us to the next question. What are you getting out of this?
* Seraphna looks up at Darien.
* Dawn shifts the pad toward Chad, taking his tiramisu from the server with one hand. The other types as before [She doesn't totally suck.]
* Dawn then takes his espresso and a straw, tapping the end of the cup, tilting it slowly, the tiny stream flowing down the straw-- he laces the tiramisu with a small amount, then sets the cup down, the straw neatly on the end of his plate. He eyes it lavishly.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien enjoys his dessert.
<Chad`Winters> That doesn't answer my question
* Seraphna watches Darien quietly.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien mmms.
<Seraphna> "Looks good."
* Dawn takes a spoon and takes a portion, slipping it into his mouth with an utterly exquisite smile.
<Chad`Winters> Interesting. 6He seems to get an amused look on his face, the first positive look this entire time
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yes, it is good. 6* He looks at Angela slowly.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya eats her dessert. She peers back up at Dawn, but doesn't speak
* Seraphna tilts her head at him a little, a thoughtful look in her eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien just smiles, taking another bite of his food. "mmmmm." 6* He repeats.
* Seraphna takes a spoon and moves in on it, after a taste.
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... 6* He grabs a fork, acting as if he will battle for it
* Dawn peers among the other two, glad he has his own.
* Seraphna grins softly and advances forward bravely.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien slides it over.
* Chad`Winters closes his eyes now, crossing his arms again, his face returning to a neutral look
* Seraphna takes a bit and brings the spoon to her lips, trying it.
* Dawn stares at Angela, then slides the remainder of his espresso-tiramisu over to Darien and Aya.
<Seraphna> "Mmm... it is good."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya tenses, then shakes her head. "N-No Thanks."
* Dawn points to their originally dessert, then jerks a thumb at Angela. He sets his spoon down neatly.
* Chad`Winters snaps his eyes open, locking onto Dawn.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shrugs and takes it, eating it
<Seraphna> "Dawn, tread carefully, the imperious ones fear foriegn matters entering the kingdom."
* Dawn reaches over and swats Angela with the book again.
<Chad`Winters> Cut the crap Angela, this isn't high school.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya frowns. She stands and rises, moving to the bathroom again
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pulls out his card to pay for the meal, sensing it's about to end.
* Chad`Winters closes his eyes and stands. He grabs his zip-up sweater and puts it on. He then reaches over and grabs Aya's
* Seraphna sighs and pouts.
<Seraphna> "I forgot, Chad lacks a sense of humor."
* Chad`Winters reaches into his pocket and he tosses down the credits to cover Aya's meal and her tip.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien just shakes his head.
* Seraphna sits back again and sighs, watching the leavetaking rituals of the Winters clan.
* Dawn eyes Darien, then takes his dessert back. He finds a plate, cutting off a triangle that hasn't been touched and slides it over to Chad.
* Dawn resumes eating his 'tainted' sect, either way, shrugging.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah. I'm sure a 15 year old appreciates being told they have an OCD problem.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien hands the card to the waitress when she passes by.
<Seraphna> "I... don't recall saying that."
* Chad`Winters glances over at the bathroom. 1"Way to think of others, but that's normal for you."
* Seraphna looks shocked that Darien would be so blunt.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks at Angela. Then ahead. Maybe he's been in a bad mood this entire time.
* Seraphna appears to be doing what she always does when she's overly upset or angry, making poor humor.
<Seraphna> "Whatever Chad."
* Chad`Winters appears to be ignoring the dessert.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya steps out of the bathroom. She sees Chad is ready, and moves for the exit
<Chad`Winters> We'll have to rearrange a time to discuss things Darien. 6He nods to him and heads out after Aya, handing her her jacket
<DeathStar> 6* Aya takes it and steps out with Chad. Darien drums his fingers.
* Seraphna appears to have mimic'd Chad's ability to ignore existances, not even looking up.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien gets his card back, pocketing it. "Talk to you later, Angela."
<DeathStar> 6* He rises.
<Seraphna> "Yeah... later."
<DeathStar> 6* He walks off without looking back
* Dawn stands abrubtly, finishing the final bite of his own piece of tiramisu. He reaches into his back, fiddles with a wallet, then tosses a set on the table that pays for the meal twice over, then walks off. Perhaps thinking this is tradition.
* Seraphna doesn't look up, until she looks at Dawn leaving.
<Seraphna> "See yah."
* Seraphna eventually gets up on her own, pulling out her datapad as she steps out into the night.
<DeathStar> 6* She means day.
<Seraphna> * She does
<Dawn> * She's a caffeine junkie. Who knows.
* Seraphna walks along for her car, eye on her datapad, looking over a reading, shaking her head. A look of dissapointment in her eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* Angela arrives back at the house. All is quiet. Xanatos seems to be gone.
* Seraphna sighs tiredly and walks to her room, pulling off her coat, her Samaritan and a second gun hitting the bed along with her datapad.
* Seraphna taps her console to download messages and lays back on it, staring at the ceiling.
<DeathStar> 6* Birds chirp. It's a beautiful afternoon.
<Seraphna> "Fucking prodigal and his holier then thou..."
<DeathStar> 6* The birds stop chirping.
<DeathStar> 6* Though she can ehar what appears to be splashing in a shower. Or fighting. Yeah, fighting
* Seraphna just lays motionless, the lesbians appear to be attempting sex via warfare again.
* Seraphna sighs. "Shouldn't have let it cross onto her though... what to do..."
<DeathStar> 6* It goes on for at least an hour, then quiets down
* Chad`Winters is now known as Chad`Sleep
* Seraphna moves to her console and starts to type something, she doesn't stop for an hour.
* Seraphna sighs and sits back, rubbing her head a little.
<Seraphna> "If he hadn't... no it's not worth it..."
<Seraphna> "Talking to myself again... haven't been this way since before PAX."
* Seraphna hits a record button on her console.
<Seraphna> "Where do I begin..."
<Seraphna> "I feel alone. I'm confused. Alexander managed to put my mind back together but now all I get from it is frustration. I can remember so many different things about people, Chad's the absolute worst. I know him two ways, one in an approving manner, the other the hateful SOB I've always seen him as."
<Seraphna> "It's the whimsy I suppose, while I can remember everything I was taught, my impulses are way out of control, I can't seem to hold myself back, worse yet... I'm not sure I want to. Phaeton would be shaking his head, I can see it."
<Seraphna> "For the longest time, I had respect for Chad... I cared really, I couldn't help myself but see him as this older brother figure, he was the son of Alexander after all. In retrospect, this is another fault of my choices as Angela... I dropped the DNA I had been granted. Alex always spoke of a birthright, I failed to see what he'd really meant."
<Seraphna> "He seems to hate Alexander with a passion, but at the same time I can't help but see his own smug pride in what he possesses. He knows what he's got and that just makes his ego worse. Then again, he's probably at home taking care of his kid, being a good man."
<Seraphna> "And here I am, ranting to a computer recording file. Heh."
<Seraphna> "I'm going to start keeping a log like this, so I can play it back to myself, try to figure out my feelings, maybe it'll help, maybe I'll just prove what a nutter I am."
<Seraphna> "I can't change the past... but maybe I can change the future. That's why I keep following Darien... I have to believe we can change our fates."
* Seraphna stops the recording and rubs her face, getting up to take a shower.
* Ariel is now known as Ari[AWAY]
* Seraphna knocks on the bathroom door.
* Seraphna is now known as SeraSleep

<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-588.6.29
<DeathStar> Location: Tokyo
* Seraphna knocks on the door of the Winters' residence.
<Chad`Winters> 6There's silence, but this is Chad Winter's.
* Seraphna knocks again, seemingly willing to wait all day if she must, a piece of paper in her hand.
<DeathStar> 6* The door opens and a blonde haired girl stares at her
* Seraphna looks at her.
<Seraphna> "Aya?"
<DeathStar> <Aya> Miss. Bennet.
* Seraphna smiles gently. "Sorry about yesterday, I was very mean."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks at her. If she really does absorb personality and abilities from others, she's giving her a cutting edge Chad look. "I know. I read your mail."
<Seraphna> "I'm glad you did. It was uncalled for of me to do that."
<DeathStar> <Aya> I'll let Dad know you're here. 6* She closes the door, and relocks it. A silence ensures now, and time ticks away.
* Seraphna just nods, waiting, she pulls out a datapad and checks some messages, not naive enough to think Chad's going to rush to the door for her.
<Chad`Winters> 6The door finally clicks several times and it opens part way. Chad stands there, his arms crossed.
<Seraphna> "Hello Chad."
* Seraphna squints at him a little, if he's actually taking the time to look, she seems unusually drained and tired.
* Chad`Winters just stands there, an annoyed look on his face
<Seraphna> "I lost my temper with you, and easily. I apologise for my actions yesterday." *She says after the long silence.*
<Chad`Winters> I'm not the one you needed to apologize too.
<Seraphna> "I have already apologised to Aya."
<Seraphna> "I still feel I owed you one as well."
<Chad`Winters> Yeah. I know.
<Seraphna> "You were right too... I wasn't thinking of others feelings yesterday. It was careless of me."
<Chad`Winters> What's new? 6His face continues to show his annoyed look.
<Seraphna> "Nothing, really. I make a lot of stupid mistakes."
* Seraphna looks at him, "I did a lot of thinking, I'm going to try to sort myself out, correct these childish traits of mine."
* Chad`Winters glances inside, probably at a clock. He looks back down at Seraphna
<Seraphna> "I won't keep you any longer if I'm cutting in on your work."
* Seraphna says this after watching him.
<Chad`Winters> That's your problem Angela. You never think, you only act. Dragging Dawn into this is just another example of it.
<Seraphna> "No Chad, dragging Dawn into this came from thinking, if you have reasons I did not come up with to reject him, then say them."
<Chad`Winters> Oh I don't know. Shapeshifter?
<Seraphna> "I'll ru him by Warren, he figured out some way of identifying them, didn't he?"
<Chad`Winters> It's untested.
<Seraphna> "Well we'll have to figure that out, I just haven't seen a reason to suspect him of such a thing, he came into my life over very legitimate and profitable reasons."
<Seraphna> "And like I tend to do, it was I that made the effort to make a friend, not the other way around."
<Chad`Winters> There. That's the problem. You're so desperate to make friends that your unwilling to scrutinize their every motive.
<Seraphna> "His is money."
<Chad`Winters> Then he should be done with you. Tell me this, why would he feel that Legion would go after him just because there was movie that showed him next to us? If that's the case, there'd be a lot of dead civilians.
<Seraphna> "How does Legion locate us?"
<Chad`Winters> That's not what I asked.
* Seraphna shakes her head. "Chad, how did Legion find us in LA?"
<Chad`Winters> That, that's easy. He looked at the location that someone gave the military.
<Seraphna> "And how did he do that exactly? Military channels aren't open frequency."
<Chad`Winters> Irregardless you're still not looking at it right. This man, knew nothing about Legion and what his motives are, yet suddenly he fears for his life? Someone had to have told him what Legion would do.
* Seraphna smiles a little, musing over that. "And I can guess who you immediately suspect."
<Seraphna> "Alexander Cran?"
* Chad`Winters grunts.
<Seraphna> "Chad, are you drawing this from logic or are you drawing this from your worry about him with Aya?"
<Chad`Winters> And if it was the later? 6His eyes focus on Angela
<Seraphna> "Then I consider you a concerned father, but I'd need more to go on to believe it."
<Chad`Winters> Like you needed more to trust Alexander Cran with my child's health. 6His eyes narrow now
<Seraphna> "Another stupid mistake I made, I put her in danger Chad, I know."
<Seraphna> "I don't expect you to let it go, ever, and that's reasonable."
<Chad`Winters> Unlike you, I'm not willing to risk your trusts on a complete stranger when it comes to them coming close to my daughter.
<Seraphna> "Good, then I can trust you to bounce any reasons you see to worry about him off me. I'll keep my eyes peeled."
<Seraphna> "But Chad, there's an old saying..."
<Chad`Winters> Save it.
<Chad`Winters> You just don't listen, you just want to wait until something bad happens to be proved wrong instead of stopping it before it happens
<Seraphna> "Chad."
<Chad`Winters> We're done. 6He moves, shutting the door
* Seraphna puts her foot in the way.
<Seraphna> "Which would you rather have. Him wandering around watching us unattended or someone making sure he keeps his nose where it belongs."
<Seraphna> "If he does anything to harm Aya, you won't have a chance to hurt him for it."
<Seraphna> "Friends close, enemies closer."
<Chad`Winters> The former, that way if he dies it won't be on my shoulders. Now remove your foot before I do.
<Seraphna> "Fine."
* Seraphna moves her foot.
* Chad`Winters shuts the door. The locks click into place.
* Seraphna shakes her head. "Antisocial..."
* Seraphna walks away.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya sits on the couch with her book. She glances at Chad
<DeathStar> 6* She looks like she waits to say something, then just closes her mouth
* Seraphna pulls her sleeve up, the primed balst from her bracer fading, she walks away and back down the block to the Lovenasium... errr... Erevis' Pad.
* Chad`Winters takes a deep breathe, his face softening. He moves over to the couch and sits down, rubbing his face. 1"Sorry you had to see that."
<DeathStar> <Aya> ... You realize, Dad, there's trillions of strangers out there. You can't keep new people from meeting me.
<Kit> 6* Elsewhere, Dawn relaxes in the lounge of hotel, sipping an espresso. His eyes fall on the datapad resting on his left knee. After studying it for a moment, he nods. A woman, several years older than him, peers over his shoulder, adjusting her glasses. 1"The new draft?"
<Chad`Winters> I know.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Then you're acting this way because it's Miss. Bennet.
* Seraphna stops halfway, looking up at the sky. "Why the hell do I love that kid so much... it's not my daughter... he doesn't even want me to be her aunt. Why me god..." *she shakes her head at the swear and walks along more*
<Chad`Winters> Partially. 6He leans back as he stares up at the cieling.
<Kit> 6Dawn nods slowly, clicking a key to save it, then post it to a forum for literary criticism. The woman brushes dark, shoulder-length hair away from her steel eyes. 1"I don't understand why you keep doing that. Most contracts would forbid it, and I swear, if you don't value my opinion, why keep me as an editor?"
<Kit> 6Dawn grins and pats her shoulder, offering her the espresso. 1"...No way, you freak. One sip of that stuff and I'd be a dying diabetic."
* Xanatos has joined #erevis
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Xanatos
<DeathStar> <Aya> Liar. 6* She looks at her book. "You don't trust her, so if she does anything, you immediately distrust it. Zephyr explained it to me once."
<Chad`Winters> It's hard to explain. 6He looks back down at the coffee table now. 1"I don't have a problem with you meeting people, but I also can't forgive myself if I something happens to you because I let my guard down.
<Kit> 6Dawn gestures to the datapad, pointing to a list of members and nodding his head to them. 1"Eh?" 6The woman comments. 1"..You mean it's not for the constructive criticism?"
<Kit> 6Dawn frowns and waves his hand. She stares. 1"Oh, specific members?" 6He nods.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Well, Dad. That's just not going to happen. I'm only 15, and I can see that.
<Kit> 6Dawn moves the pad between his hands and begins bringing up past responses, gesturing to a few specific posts and names. The woman sighs. 1"In other words, you trust a couple of these people more than you do me. Ungh." 6She looks about to have an aneurism when Dawn reaches around her waist, patting her back.
<Chad`Winters> I know. 6He nods as he rubs his face. 1"And you're right. I don't trust her."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya just goes back to reading. "You should just tell her that you'll never forgive her, never let her into your life, and never give her a moment's break, so she will just leave you alone."
<Chad`Winters> And what kind of example would I be setting to you than? 6He looks over at her.
<Kit> 6The woman twitches slightly at Dawn. 1"...Well, you have other ...duties this afternoon, right? Let me know when the manuscript is done."
<DeathStar> <Aya> *looks up* An honest one. Unless you want me to learn to string people along with no hope of them ever ... *she thinks for the right word* re-deeming? themselves."
<Chad`Winters> Would you look down at me for being that cold?
<Kit> 6Dawn nods to her, folding the datapad shut on an document entitled "Struggles Unseen"
<DeathStar> <Aya> Isn't it meaner not to be honest?
<Chad`Winters> That's the thing about honesty and lies. Most people can't take the cold hard truth because it can be painful. These people will choose to live in a lie because even though nothing's real, it's more comfortable to be lied to.
<DeathStar> <Aya> I think it's crueler that you aren't honest to Miss. Bennet. She thinks she can make you like her again.
<Chad`Winters> You're right. 6He leans forward now, rubbing his hands together.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya goes back to her book
* Chad`Winters stands up and moves off to the kitchen. He gently pats Aya's head as he passes by

<DeathStar> 6* Erevis helps Megumi into the shower. "This will make you feel better." 6* She insists. Perhaps she read it in a book on how to care for the ill. Though, Megumi's fever is going away now
<Dawn> H-...Mya...?
<DeathStar> NRP: <Erevis> it is you from the roof. *she drwons Dawn*
<Dawn> 6Megumi is led to the shower, still half-asleep.
<Dawn> NPR: Rofl.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis checks the water with her hand, then proceeds to undress Megumi.
<Dawn> <Megumi> ..Th-This is not necessarily, beloved... I c-can...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You do not wish for me to bathe with you? 6* She pauses, considering. "I see. I will return."
<Dawn> H-Huh..!? I .. I d-did not say that!
<Dawn> NRP: Grr.
<Dawn> 6Megumi leans on the stall for support.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, glancing at Megumi
* Seraphna has joined #ErevisPad
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then it is necessary?
<Dawn> 6Megumi pauses and shifts her feet, peering at the floor. 1"I... I would like your assistance."
* Angela has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods, then moves over, carefully removing articles of clothing from Megumi.
<Dawn> 6Megumi bites her lip. Sure, a dozen times at this point, but still shyly covers herself with her arms in response.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head at Megumi. "What is wrong?"
<Dawn> N-Nothing." 6Smiles.
<Dawn> NRP: *clutches head and beats it into a wall*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She studies her. "It is not anything I have seen before."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pulls off her own clothing, then reaches up and slides the hairpin out of her hair, shaking it so it falls down
<Dawn> <Megumi> I-I know... I cannot help it...
<Dawn> 6Megumi peers downward, then slowly reaches her arms away, holding them behind her instead.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. 6* She closes her eyes. "There. This should help alleviate your illogical response."
<Dawn> <Megumi> Y-You do not have to do that!
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head, keeping her eyes closed. "I only wish to make you uncomfortable. You are ill."
<Dawn> <Megumi> ...I... I am comforted by your presence, beloved.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis opens her eyes, then nods. She pats Megumi's breasts. "They are nice. Do not feel the need to hide them." 6* She gets into the shower.
<Dawn> 6Megumi squeaks slightly, not prepared for such an odd gesture. 1"Ehm... Th-thank you..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis helps Megumi into the shower. She begins to get the soap ready, and starts with Megumi's back.
<Dawn> 6Megumi smiles, then leans against the stall's wall, steadying herself as well as she can.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It has been some time since we have done this.
<Dawn> <Megumi> Y..Yes, it has...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis continues to wash Megumi. "Are you..feeling better?" 6* She asks. It seems she means more than physically.
<Dawn> 6Megumi pauses for a while, then nods slowly. 1"...Yes.. Beloved has... been by my side."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. 6* She says naturally, as if that is a given.
<Dawn> <Megumi> So naturally I feel better. Although...I still worry.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Is there anything I may do to...help your..worry?
<Dawn> <Megumi> You have done a lot as is...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is quiet, finishing washing Megumi's back. She leans around her to wash the front.
<Dawn> 6Megumi eeps quietly and squirms. 1"...You are... doing more than... anyone should."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Are you uncomfortable? ... I am not being a good mate. 6* She decides. Her thought process could baffle anyone
<Dawn> 6Megumi quickly turns and reaches up, grabbing Erevis' chest. 1"They are fine, you should not hide them!"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks down at her breasts being groped.
<Dawn> 6Megumi, despite blushing, attempts to keep an utterly serious face.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You wish me not to wear clothing at...all times?
<Dawn> 6Megumi leans back. 1"H-hnyah!? N-no, that is not it... I... I merely meant you are overthinking it. You have... been kind... I would... like to see you happy, too."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am happy at this moment. 6* She notes. "This brings back nice memories."
<Dawn> <Megumi> Ah..? What.. kinds of memories?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. I remember the first time we took a bath. I also remember one time how we did more than take a bath. 6* She begins to rattle each one.
<Dawn> 6Megumi turns a darker shade of red in each recount.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis finishes. She goes back to washing Megumi
<Dawn> <Megumi> ...B-Beloved..?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes, Megumi?
<Dawn> <Megumi> ...M-May I wash you now?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. 6* She hands over the soap and smiles. "I would like that."
<Dawn> 6Megumi takes the soap, lathering her hands, then moves to be behind Erevis, repeating the procedure on her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis relaxes somewhat, closing her eyes. "I do not like how this body gets dirty, but I will relent it is not so bad when things like this are done."
<Dawn> 6Megumi stares intently at Erevis' back, but after the memory recounts, has something else in mind. She is washing Erevis, of course, but occasionally seems to wander further out, further down.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis twitches each time; she might not be quite as bad as Megumi, but it's clear on some level, she's feeling it. She refuses to comment on it, though.
<Dawn> 6Megumi perhaps notices, because she attempts to be more subtle about it, but no less often, perhaps finding it a humorous game, even as she leans forward, pressing up against Erevis, reaching around to massage about, and eventually on her chest, the other hand trailing down her stomach.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis squirms. "Y-You are very thorough, Megumi." 6* She compliments.
<Dawn> 6Megumi giggles quietly, unable to contain that, letting her hands be a bit more insistent, the lower treading even lower. She moves more slowly, but firmly. 1"...Beloved.."
<Dawn> 6Megumi breathes the word against Erevis' ear, grinning softly.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis jerks somewhat. "Megumi...are you...wanting.." 6* She seems to be trying to speak coherantly.
<Dawn> <Megumi> As you said, it has... been a while...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. 6* She nods. Her breathing has quicked very slightly. "But...are you...well...enough?"
<Dawn> 6Megumi plays out both hands, closing her eyes. 1"Thanks to you... Yes, quite."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis twitches, then leans up, sliding her hand up Megumi's thigh. She will give what she gets. For she is Erevis. And she will not lose.
<Dawn> 6Megumi inhales sharply, then frowns poutily and especially reaches back, sure to grope her twice as necessary.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis jerks, her cheeks redder. She uses her powers to give Megumi a pleasant electric jolt to her sensations.
<Dawn> 6Megumi squeals and jerks away slightly, then regrasps Erevis, both hands on her chest and leaning down to forcibly steal a kiss.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis's eyes widen and she slips back into the water. She ... touches Megumi's butt.
<Dawn> 6Megumi stumbles and falls into the water, then tackles Erevis, reaching around to grope her in the same fashion.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis suddenly returns the kiss herself. And the rest, of course, is history.
<DeathStar> -END-
Session Close: Thu Feb 21 02:15:02 2008

Session Start: Thu Feb 21 18:22:08 2008
Session Ident: #ErevisPad
* Logging #ErevisPad to 'logs\EsperNet\#ErevisPad.20080221.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-588.6.29
<DeathStar> Location: Xanatos' House
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi would awaken to the smell of fish.
<Kit> 6Megumi sits up slowly, stretching and smiling to a lucid thought, then shifts and hops out of bed on a much lighter note than normal. Gazing about the empty room, she taps her lip, then moves out of the bedroom.
<DeathStar> 6* Sitting on the counter is a plate of fish, mixed with catnip in it for seasoning. Nearby is Erevis, working on a painting, though from this angle, Megumi could not see it. She looks up. "Hello, 'Kitten'." 6* She says in greeting.
<Kit> 6Megumi sleepily makes her way to the table, lingering over the fish with a rather drowsy licking of her lips, then sits, adjusting her nightgown. She peers toward Erevis, blinking. "1...Eh..? G-Good morning."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Though it is not typical breakfast food, I thought you might enjoy some fish. 6* She says, as if attributing her confusion to the fish
<Kit> 6Megumi stares for a moment, then nods, smiling gently. She reaches for utensils, giggling quietly. 1"Itadakimasu..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies her, and smiles softly, as if enjoying her reaction, and goes back to drawing. "Would you like to go to the park today? I thought it would be good for your health to attain fresh air."
<Kit> 6Megumi swallows a bit of the food, then opens her eyes, still looking a little surprised. 1"Ah, yes, I would enjoy that!"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods. "Then it shall be done." 6* She appears to be already dressed, perhaps waking up much earlier. She's wearing one of her shirts that was ruined already by paint, and some jeans. She appears to only wear jeans when she's painting, or doing something that requires rougher clothing
<Kit> <Megumi> Have you... started awakening earlier, beloved?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> My body had more energy than normal. Perhaps due to our activities yesterday. I was unable to sleep for long, and felt like doing painting. 6* She considers. "I might also be use to your early mornings when you had classes."
<Kit> 6Megumi nods slowly, considering, then seems to hint a pout.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Is something wrong? 6* She asks, peering over the canvas at Megumi. "Did I not cook the fish properly?"
<Kit> <Megumi> Oh! No, not that... It is just, I used to awaken first.
<Kit> 6Megumi goes back to nibbling away demurely, quite content.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. Then I will sleep later tomorrow so you can awaken first. 6* She goes back to drawing.
<Kit> <Megumi> Then I still lose because you are allowing it." 6Narrows eyes.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. Then you will need to find a way to make me sleep later on your own accord. However unlikely that may be.
<Kit> NRP: * Megumi adds nyquil to her sake.
<Kit> NRP: * Erevis adds dayquil to her fish.
<DeathStar> NRP: LOL
<Kit> <Megumi> Mh, I think it is fine.
<Kit> 6Megumi finishes the fish and goes to wash the plate.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis continues her drawing. She appears to have paint in her hair. Again. Even from the future, she remains clumsy or oblivious to her hair
* Seraphna steps into the house, slamming the door a little.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks up from her painting toward the door.
<Kit> 6Megumi wanders over after a moment with a wet washcloth and reaches out, grabbing strands of Erevis' hair, rubbing it between the cold, damp cloth, working the paint out. Her ears perk as she glances toward the door.
* Seraphna sighs and pulls down her hair, rubbing her eyes. "I'm home..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Welcome back, Angela Bennet. 6* She glances at Megumi, tilting her head as she just realizes she's washing her hair
<Kit> <Megumi> Hello Miss Angela.
<Kit> 6Megumi works the towel to the various points. 1"It is easy to remove paint with cold water if it is done recently before it sets.
<Seraphna> "Hello you two, you the only ones in?"
* Seraphna yawns a little.
<Kit> <Megumi> I have just awoken, but I have not heard any other presences.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know if Xanatos Durran is around.
<Kit> NRP: * Ariel pops out of a closet. "HELLO!"
<Seraphna> "Alright... I'm gonna nap... I haven't slept much lately."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods, going back to her drawing.
* Seraphna stumbles her way into the hall.
<Kit> <Megumi> Rest well, Miss Angela.
<Seraphna> "Thanks you two... Megumis..." *she looks at Meg cross eyed*
<DeathStar> 6* Since Megumi is now closer, if she glances at the canvas, would see a picture of herself in the shower, her arms covering her breasts shyly. However, that doesn't stop Erevis from being detailed elsewhere and everywhere on Megumi's body. It seems she really did intend to draw Megumi in the shower.
<Kit> <Megumi> I assure you, there is only one of my--" 6She pauses, gasping at the canvas. Seems there's two of her after all.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Megumi.
<Seraphna> "Dopplegangers... all around us..."
* Seraphna yawns and stumbles to her room.
<Kit> 6Megumi withdraws slightly, covering her chest in a shy defensive notion not unlike the painting, then notices Erevis and stops, giving an exasperated, nervous giggle.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not require you to pose. I have the memory in my mind.
* Seraphna giggles a little and slips into her room, passing out on her bed.
<Kit> <Megumi> Ah! I .. I know..." 6Peers at the painting with red cheeks. 1"...Why is Miss Angela incoherent?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have long since learned not to question how her mind works. I find it is better that way.
<Kit> <Megumi> Mh, perhaps this is true. ...Um, beloved... what will you do... with this... painting?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know. I believe I will hang it up in our room.
<Kit> 6Megumi rubs the back of her head, smiling weakly. Well that's better than the living room.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis adds a little freckle to Megumi's butt.
* Xanatos has joined #ErevisPad
<Kit> 6Megumi peers, blinking. Then backs up slightly and looks around, lifting her nightgown slightly, wondering when she developed freckles.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is oblivious to Megumi's self-inspection
<Kit> <Megumi> B-beloved...! Is that... r-really there..!?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
* Xanatos steps into the kitchenm digging at his ear when Megumi shrieks, he leans over to look through the fridge.
* Chad`Winters has joined #ErevisPad
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Good morning, Xanatos Durran. 6* She greets him.
<Xanatos> Morning Erev-*he turns and pauses when he sees her painting*
<Kit> 6Megumi stares toward Xanatos, gently dropping the gathered end of her nightgown and hopping to the other side of Erevis. She leans over, inspecting the feature with skepticism. She's not supposed to have any.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis adds a few more brush strokes, then sets it down.
<Xanatos> ...why is she naked?
* Kit raises her ears, then hops to the other side, throwing her hands out, scowling at Xanatos. 1"Do not look!"
<Kit> NRP: ...Yeah. Meg. Cough.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Because she does not wear clothes in the shower.
<Kit> NRP: <Megumi> Except when Chad throws me into one.
<Xanatos> Oh please, I've seen more naked women than you have. *he says with a wave of his hand to Megumi, then he tilts his head* Why a picture of her in the shower?
<Kit> <Megumi> I do not care. I do not want you to see me.
<Xanatos> Too late. Maybe you should wear clothes in the shower from now on.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I believe because I find her expression and body language to be ... hm. 'Cute'.
<Kit> 6Megumi continues to scowl, blushing. 1"H-Hrmph."
<Xanatos> Cute, eh? *he chuckles* Perhaps.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You do not find it cute? 6* She tilts her head.
<Xanatos> I'll keep my opinions to myself. Lest I make someone jealous or angry or embarassed or number of those icky emotions.
<Kit> 6Megumi feigns looking slightly insulted by Xanatos' chuckling.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> 'Icky'?
<Xanatos> Icky. Gross. Not cool.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Interesting.
<DeathStar> 6* She sets her brush down, done with the detailed drawing.
* Chad`Winters is now known as SPoC
<Kit> 6Megumi remains between Xanatos and the painting defiantly.
* Xanatos pinches Megumi's cheeks. "You're right Erevis. Cute is the perfect word for her."
<Kit> 6Megumi winces, stumbling on her feet. 1"Unh..!"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods. She takes the painting and moves it to the bedroom so it can be safe.
* Xanatos glances around, calling out. "Did you make breakfast?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps back in. "I made fish."
* Kit peers up at Xanatos, and shuffles away slowly.
<Kit> NRP: JAHNdkja.
<Xanatos> You made...fish...for breakfast?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. Megumi Zhenmei enjoys fish very much
<Kit> 6Megumi peers at Xanatos again, then retreats to the bedroom in a scurry before he can do or say something else.
* Xanatos tilts his head at Megumi running away and glances at Erevis. "She afraid of me now?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I do no see why she would be afraid of you.
<Xanatos> Cause on the inside i'm a big scary monster.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hardly.
<Xanatos> How do you know?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at him deadpanned. "I know."
* Xanatos just makes a pfft sound and moves to make himself some toast. "Why don't you ever cook for me?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You may eat the fish.
<Xanatos> Did you have me in mind whenever you cooked it?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I did not.
<Xanatos> Then I guess it just won't be my place to eat any of it.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Very well.
<Xanatos> Maybe you should cook for me tomorrow. *he notes, putting jam onto his bread*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Why?
* Seraphna is now known as Jennifer`
<Xanatos> Why not?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You do not wish to eat my fish. Why would I cook specifically for you tomorrow?
<Xanatos> That's Megumi's fish. You cooked it specially for her. Besides, Fish isn't something you cook in the morning. It is not a breakfast food.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will cook what I wish when I wish to cook it. 6* She notes
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You may eat it, or not
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns and moves out of the room
<Xanatos> Drama queen. *he says, making a face*
* Xanatos is now known as Marcus`
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks back at him briefly, then steps outside.
* Jennifer` is now known as Darce
* Xan|Goners has joined #ErevisPad
* Xan|Goners is now known as Marcus-
* Marcus` has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Marcus- has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Marcus` has joined #ErevisPad
* Marcus- has joined #ErevisPad
* Marcus` has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Darce is now known as Jennifer1
* Jennifer1 is now known as Jennifer`
* SPoC is now known as Dias`
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis remains outside, doing Erevis things.
* Marcus- is now known as Xanatos
* Xanatos steps outside, to see what Erevis things are on the agenda today.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is working out with her staff, having decided the park will be on the agenda later in the afternoon. She hits her wooden targets repeatedly, spinning the staff to keep her combos going
* Xanatos sips from a cup of coffee, yawning slightly. "You go through the same routine about everyday, don't you?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> There is usually a consistency to my routine. However, I plan to go to the park with Chii later, which is not a typical agenda.
<Kit> NRP: ...ROFL
<Xanatos> NRP: LOL
<Kit> NRP: * Megumi cries.
<DeathStar> NRP: LO!L!
<Xanatos> Oh really? That's interesting.
<DeathStar> NBRP: Megumi
<Xanatos> Seems whatever problems you and Megumi had are all but gone.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We are doing better. As long as she can...live her life to the fullest, then I am ... happy.
<Xanatos> Good. I'm glad to see you happy. *he says, though with Xan, who knows if he means it or not*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Xanatos. She looks as if she wants to ask if it that is true, but knows she is offended if someone asks if her words are true.
* Xanatos keeps his arms crossed and sips from his cup. "Funny though. Sometimes I wonder is Megumi's reason for being with you is..." He pauses as he thinks. "Well, I wonder if it's a good enough reason."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... What do you mean?
<Xanatos> She's with you because you love her. That's it. It's not that you're her everything, her one and only. You love her, so she feels she has to be with you.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That is incorrect. She stated her love and feelings for me first.
<Xanatos> Maybe that's changed. *he shrugs* But that's what she told me when I asked.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head.
<Xanatos> But hey, don't worry about it. She was probably just being bitchy to me.
<Jennifer`> * Angela makes her way out of her room, grumbling, clothes all askew from her power nap.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see.
<Jennifer`> * Angela walks zombie like to the kitchen, fiddling with a coffee maker.
<Xanatos> So since it's decided that we can't be together because of this whole future bit. Does that mean we can't be friends too?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I would like to be friends.
<Xanatos> Then we need to start hanging out and doing things together. That's what friends do, right?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
<Xanatos> Good then I guess I should go get started on some plans. We're going to have fun. *he gives her a smile*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head, then mimics the smile.
* Xanatos pauses and tilts his head. "Just wondering, but do you think that Megumi would get mad if we kissed or anything?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. 6* She looks stern.
* Xanatos frowns. "Well that stinks."
* Jennifer` is now known as Seraphna
<Xanatos> What if Megumi openly said she didn't mind? Eh?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Is kissing not something between two people who are in a relationship?
<Xanatos> Well that really depends on the people in the relationship. Some people are actual open enough that they allow their mate to have sex with other people.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares. Her expression is utterly bafflement.
* Xanatos holds up his hands. "It's true. I slept with a girl and her boyfriend showed up, but he was completely alright with it. Pretty odd situation."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That does...not sound very honorable.

Session Start: Fri Feb 22 00:00:00 2008
Session Ident: #ErevisPad
<Xanatos> It's subjective the one's opinion of honor I guess.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks a little nervous now, twitchy even
<DeathStar> <Erevis> So you are saying that you would have slept with other people when you were with me?
* Xanatos tilts his head. "You uhh, ok?"
* Xanatos pauses and shakes his head. "No, I wouldn't dare. We were in the type of relationship where we were with each other only. Some people are in a relationship that is essentially called an 'open relationship'. They love each other, but they also love seeing their significant other happy.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis crosses her arms. She almost seems like she's doing a shy pose like Megumi.
* Seraphna sits at the kitchen table, drinking coffee.
<Xanatos> Hold on. Are you really thinking that I would do that? *he steps closer to her* I mean, I know I wasn't the most pure of souls when I was younger, but i'm not like that.
<Kit> 6Megumi wanders back out of the bedroom, in jeans, but wearing the yukata's kimono shirt.
* Seraphna looks up at Meg as she inevitably appears in the line of her vision, gazing with a stoneface, obviously half awake.
<Kit> 6Megumi stares at Angela.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She glances to the side. "If you feel in such a manner, perhaps you should start a relationship with Angela Bennet. She has said she has feelings for you."
* Seraphna stares back. "Megumi."
<Kit> <Megumi> ...Miss Angela." 6She looks uncomfortable, shifting from foot to foot.
<Seraphna> "Something wrong?"
* Seraphna sips coffee.
* Xanatos reaches out and places his hand on her face, moving it back to face him. "You're the only person in my heart anymore. You're the only one I want to be with. You have Megumi now, but one day I have faith that we will be together. Because I feel that deep down, we are meant to be."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She glances to the side, a somewhat softer expression. "I will ask Megumi Zhenmei of your request, if you desire."
* Xanatos smiles and pulls his hands back. "I doubt Megumi would go for that. If for any reason other to spite me. She doesn't like me very much. I swear I dunno why."
<Kit> <Megumi> You seem strange at this moment, Miss Angela.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I ... do wish you two got along...
* Dias` has quit IRC (Quit: )
<Xanatos> I try, I swear. But it's hard to like someone when they're the only thing standing in the way of your happyness. I hope you understand.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She frowns, but doesn't argue the point.
* Xanatos tilts his head and taps under her chin. "C'mon now. Smile. You use more energy frowning than you do smiling, you know."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She looks at him, and settles on her neutral expression look. "Then I shall waste none."
* Dias` has joined #ErevisPad
* Xanatos gives a chuckle. "Of course not. But what if I said that looking expressionless is less appealing than a smile?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then I will wonder how you ever found my face appealing.
<Xanatos> Ah, don't start that word warping stuff. I said less appealing.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not warp words. 6* She notes.
<Xanatos> You take words out of context. Just like every other woman you only hear what you want to hear.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I cannot help if I am in a female body.
<Xanatos> Well if you weren't, I would be feeling weird right now.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> So you would no longer desire me if I was in a male body?
<Xanatos> Probably not in a relationship way. I don't like men. Most likely I would just attempt to be your friend.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. So your appeal for me is defined by the looks of my body.
* Xanatos shakes his head. "I love you. Your personality. You have Kat's looks, so you're attractive, but you being you is why I love you. But if you were in a man's body, I probably wouldn't even have gotten to know you enough for any of that to matter."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You know me now, however. Does it still apply?
<Xanatos> I couldn't be with a man. I'm just not gay like that. It would be unfortunate, however. Because it would mean I lost the woman that I loved.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head to the side. "A limiting view. I do not see genders as you do. Perhaps I simply do not understand."
<Xanatos> I've always been raised that men and women belong together. Anything else is just unnatural, and so that is the view that I stick too. Because I think it is true.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> So you find me and Megumi Zhenmei to be unnaturla.
* Seraphna peers at Megumi after a long pause. "Mmmm... I'm half asleep."
<Xanatos> I told you before my death that I didn't approve of lesbians. It may be attractive in a sexual sense, but it's...well it's biologically unforthcoming.
<Kit> <Megumi> How can one be... half asleep? You are either asleep or not." 6She fails to take notice of all her drowsy walking.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am aware of it's biological unfortcoming results.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns around to face one of the wooden posts now
<Xanatos> It goes against every bit of the nature of what people were intended to do. You can not produce children, so your relationship is seen as a waste.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... children are possible. 6* She notes offhandedly.
<Xanatos> Oh? How?
<Seraphna> "Same way you are whenever you wake up kitty."
<Kit> 6Megumi tilts her head. Awful lot of people calling her that today.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis doesn't answer. She rubs her own arms, keeping her back to Xanatos.
<Xanatos> Oh don't do the not answering thing because you don't want to tell the truth. Just say it.
<Seraphna> "What?" *she gets up and pours another cup*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not wish to discuss it. I also do not see why you would want an open relationship with me when you find what I am doing to be unnatural and something you do not approve of.
* Xanatos has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Marcus` has joined #ErevisPad
* Marcus` is now known as Xanatos
* Dias` is now known as Dias`Bed
* Xanatos has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Marcus` has joined #ErevisPad
* Marcus` gives a slight smile. "Well the answer to that is simple. I'm so desperate to have you back that I would even do that."
<Marcus`> NRP: Xan*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She looks at him sharply. "So even though I am tarnished, you will push your viewpoints away to have me?"
* Marcus` shrugs once. "Why are you with Megumi?"
* Marcus` is now known as Xanatos`
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She glances ahead. "Megumi Zhenmei loved me. She wanted to be with me. She... saw something in me that I did not see myself. And ... I was lonely, with you gone, and I found that I enjoyed her company. She is...childish, but she is capable of growing. And I wished to see what sort of person she became. She also...makes me think things in ways I did not consider before."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And I have learned how to pout very efficently. 6* She nods.
<Xanatos`> So if you had to choose. One or the other. Would it be me or her?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I cannot make that decision, Xanatos Durran. 6* She glances ahead. "Please do not ask me that question."
* Xanatos` gives her a sad smile. "You've already made that decision. Despite what your heart feels, you are with her. I don't doubt you love her, but I do doubt that you may love her more than me. I believe you have chosen her over me because that is how you remember it to be. Even though time clearly isn't becoming how you remembered it." He pauses and sighs sadly. "But oh well. I guess i'll just have to hope that open relationship bit will play out"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She says nothing, glancing at the ground
* Xanatos` steps forward and kisses her forhead. "One day will have our chance. One day." He turns and moves towards the house.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches Xanatos go, then sits down, and hugs her legs, waiting for Megumi to arrive for their park trip
* Xanatos` steps inside and pats Megumi's cheek. "She's waiting on you, kid." He walks past her and steps into his room.
* Xanatos` is now known as Xan|Gone
<Kit> 6Megumi peers over at Xanatos blankly. Then looks to Angela and slides slowly to the left, eventually running to get outside.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks up as Megumi exits. It's clear she's thinking hard. Probably due to her talking to Xanatos.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hello, Kitten
<Kit> 6Megumi smiles gently. 1"Hello. Are you alright?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shakes her head, then tilts it. "Do we have an open relationship?"
<Kit> <Megumi> Open... relationship?" 6Tilts her head as well. 1"..What do you mean by that?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Apparantly there are two kinds of relationships. One of them is an open relationship. It is where we allow other people to ... have a relationship with us, as well.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Xanatos Durran wishes to have such an open relationship with you and I.
<Kit> 6Megumi blinks. Then blinks again and rears back, forming her defensive covering stance.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is still hugging her own legs, her head rested on her knees. So she doesn't need to do a defensive stance.
<Kit> <Megumi> I.. he... I knew she should not have seen that painting..!
<Kit> 6Megumi relaxes after a moment, sighing. 1"...Is ..I-Is that something you want?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I do not know. Is it something you would want?
<Kit> <Megumi> I have no love for Mister Durran, however, you have.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> But you do not.
<Kit> 6Megumi blinks. 1"Yes, I ...have said that just now."
<Kit> <Megumi> I would not protest something that would further your happiness, beloved.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And I would not want something that you would not like.
<Kit> <Megumi> I believe we are at an impasse once more.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
* Xan|Gone has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Kit> <Megumi> I am afraid of people, beloved, however I have begun to overcome that singing with you. So... Y-You should not discard all... p-possibilities merely because I do not initially like them..
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She looks at Megumi seriously. "I am more concerned with your feelings, than 'all' possibilities."
<Kit> 6Megumi rubs her lip with her finger. 1"My... feelings?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
* Xan|Gone has joined #ErevisPad
<Kit> <Megumi> I do not share any for Mister Durran, so I ...do not understand.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head. "If you are uncomfortable with the idea, then I do not wish to consider the possibility."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Our...relationship is important to me.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances down at the ring on her finger.
* Kit has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Kitzzzune has joined #ErevisPad
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head. "If you are uncomfortable with the idea, then I do not wish to consider the possibility."
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> <Erevis> Our...relationship is important to me.
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances down at the ring on her finger.
* Kitzzzune has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Kitzzzune has joined #ErevisPad
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head. "If you are uncomfortable with the idea, then I do not wish to consider the possibility."
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> <Erevis> Our...relationship is important to me.
<DeathStar> <DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances down at the ring on her finger.
<Kitzzzune> <Megumi> I would not end our relationship because you wish to include others within your feelings." 6She rubs her head. 1"It might be a little strange to have another around... frequently within private expressions, however. I would... probably feel a little disappointed for a while. Embarassed, obviously."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head to the side. "You do not find the idea...to feel wrong?"
<Kitzzzune> <Megumi> ...My birth mother only had father.. The.." 6She bites her lip. 1"Villagers on Kilek usually only had a single mate for life... However.. I do not really comprehend such things. The Kalue have many mates. As long as it would make beloved even happier than she is now, I ..would consent.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She says nothing, lowering her head back onto her knees.
<Kitzzzune> 6Megumi walks over slowly and kneels. 1"If it makes beloved unhappier, then ... I would not wish for it."
<Kitzzzune> <Megumi> I will defeat Mister Durran.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis gives her a confused expression. "You are going to fight Xanatos Durran?"
<Kitzzzune> <Megumi> If he has hurt you. I will not kill him, but if he hurts you, I will hurt him." 6She crosses her arms childishly and hrmphs.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> He has not hurt me. 6* She says, tilting her head to the side. "I am confused. That is all."
<Kitzzzune> <Megumi> Confused?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I had thought relationships were only been two people. However, you and Xanatos Durran say that is not always so. I find this confusing.
<Kitzzzune> 6Megumi frowns slightly. 1"What is important is what you want. What feels right for you... If you wish for such a thing, it should be so. It does not matter if it is normal... Were that the case, I would not be in love with you, since same genders are typically not accepted."
<Kitzzzune> <Megumi> I was told this, but it does not change the fact that I love you. If you want something strongly enough, it can be made so. If you do not, then there is no reason to be confused.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. Xanatos Durran does not approve of our relationship because we are the same gender.
<Kitzzzune> 6Megumi pouts again. 1"That is his problem, not ours."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods once.
<DeathStar> 6* She stands up. "I will change so we can go to the park."
<Kitzzzune> 6Megumi blinks, then stands and smiles, hugging Erevis. 1"Mmh."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis hugs Megumi back.
<DeathStar> 6* She moves inside, leaving Megumi alone. All alone.
<Kitzzzune> 6Megumi follows her as far as the kitchen, sitting down to wait.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis returns, having selected one of the outfits Megumi got her at some point. Well, not the lingere, that would just be weird. Right? Well, it is Erevis.
<Kitzzzune> 6Megumi rises, smiling. 1"Shall we go, beloved?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods. "Yes." 6* She offers a smile, though she appears to be thinking heavily still.
<Kitzzzune> 6Megumi leans upward on her toes, her arms reaching up to Erevis and closes her eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, glancing down at Megumi. She thinks, then ... picks up Megumi like she would a child.
<Kitzzzune> 6Megumi opens one eye, curious, but then shrugs, this works too. She leans up and kisses Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis returns the kiss, then sets Megumi down. She tilts her head, a real smile this time.
<Kitzzzune> 6Megumi grins, holding her hand out.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes Megumi's hand.
<DeathStar> 6* As Erevis steps out, she checks the mail, with a letter from a HoloNet webpage. She pauses, opening it with one hand as she walks along with Megumi
<Kitzzzune> 6Megumi peers up at Erevis, curious.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head. "I was unaware you wore your school outfit in such a manner.":
* Xanatos has joined #ErevisPad
<Kitzzzune> <Megumi> huh?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shows a picture of Megumi's poses for Billy with her school outfit done to look more sexy
* Xan|Gone has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Kitzzzune> <Megumi> ...Hm. Billy made those pictures. I do not know for what purpose.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Strange. 6* She studies the various poses with no facial response.
<Kitzzzune> 6Megumi gulps and gazes away awkwardly.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis makes a strange sound. Almost like a giggle.
<Kitzzzune> 6Megumi turns slightly to look at Erevis in alarm.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis puts the photos back into the letter, then puts it into a pocket. She appears to have a smile.
<Kitzzzune> <Megumi> ...Beloved?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes, my kitten?
<Kitzzzune> <Megumi> What is... funny?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not wish to say. 6* Her tone retains some amusement.
<Kitzzzune> <Megumi> Wh-what..!?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis keeps walking along to the park
<Kitzzzune> 6Megumi sniffles. 1"Beloved will not say..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at her, then leans over and kisses her on the lips.
<Kitzzzune> 6Megumi freezes and blinks, then smiles gently for a moment before gasping. 1"Ah! I will not forget that easily!"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, then leans in, kisses again, and touches Megumi's chest. In public.
<Kitzzzune> 6Megumi blinks again, going blank, then turns beat red and gazes around quickly. 1"..M-mya..!"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis keeps walking again. Assured in her victory.
<DeathStar> 6* Arriving at the park, Erevis finds a spot near the lake, gazing out at it. Probably sad it's not frozen
<Kitzzzune> 6Megumi sits with her, shifting nervously.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Are you nervous, Megumi? 6* She glances at her.
<Kitzzzune> <Megumi> S-Somone could have seen..!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Seen? You mean this? 6* She repeats her earlier action
<Kitzzzune> 6Megumi gasps afterward. 1"Y-Yes! That!" 6She covers her mouth, squirming.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> There is a problem with doing that?
<Kitzzzune> <Megumi> I! Um! ...I...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head, waiting.
<Kitzzzune> 6Megumi turns away, blushing into her hands.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. ... 6* She nods. "I will refrain from affection when we are not inside the house."
<Kitzzzune> 6Megumi gazes back waving her hands frantically. 1"Wah! No..!"
* Xanatos has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies her curiously.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am getting mixed signals.
<Kitzzzune> <Megumi> I ... I do not think it is bad.. I am.. just embarassed!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. Then I will aid you to overcome your fear.
<Kitzzzune> <Megumi> ...N-na!?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It will make you stronger.
<Kitzzzune> 6Megumi smiles. With all abandon.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks around, as if making sure people are watching.
<Kitzzzune> 6Megumi blinks and goes to peer about too, heart pounding.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis, satisfied that some men are watching, looks back at Megumi, then kisses her on the lips.
* Xan|Gone has joined #ErevisPad
<Kitzzzune> 6Megumi spazzes, caught between enjoying and freaking out.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stops after a bit, then smiles. "Did that help?"
<Kitzzzune> 6Megumi blinks and stares, then tries to force a smile. 1"..A-aiyah..?"
* Xan|Gone has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head, looking concerned. "Perhaps it was too much, too soon."
<Kitzzzune> 6Megumi winces and shakes her head. 1"J-Just a kiss is fine."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at the water intently now.
<Kitzzzune> 6Megumi turns and joins her in this quest.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I think I will try swimming again.
* Xan|Gone has joined #ErevisPad
<Kitzzzune> <Megumi> R-Really!?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods. She stands up and moves to the edge of the lake/pond.
<Kitzzzune> 6Megumi stares blankly. She'll really just... go in the lake!?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis jumps into the lake.
<Kitzzzune> 6Megumi gapes.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis surfaces. Her hair has blinded her, so she works to see again
<Kitzzzune> 6Megumi smiles again, giggling.

<DeathStar> Location: Xan's Pad
<DeathStar> 6* The camera zooms in to focus on Xanatos in bed
<Marcus`> *Xanatos is still asleep it would seem.
<DeathStar> 6* The camera maintains a position above him
<Marcus`> * Xanatos slowly opens his eyes and moves to sit up, yawning.
<DeathStar> 6* He would smell food nearby. And it's not fish
<Marcus`> * Xan pulls on a white shirt and pulls on some shorts, stepping out, looking for the source of the food smell.
<DeathStar> 6* As he exits the bedroom, he would find pancakes, with grits, and bacon. It seems Erevis remembered his Southern tastes. Another plate, marked specifically with Megumi's name, has some added things that would make a cat like it.
<DeathStar> 6* It would appear, despite being huffy, he got some food anyway
<Marcus`> *Xan pauses and widens his eyes. "Uh. Morning?"
<DeathStar> 6* There's no answer. It appears it was just left out.
<Marcus`> * Xan glances around curiously and eyes the Megumi plate before sitting down, digging into his.
<DeathStar> 6* The food is pretty damn good.
<Marcus`> 6* Xan pauses after the first few bites to evalute, then makes an mmmmm face and begins to eat a bit quicker, as if wanting to eat it all before anyone else can snatch at it.
<DeathStar> 6* No one lumbers out to steal it. We never see Angela anymore anyway. She always sleeps
<Marcus`> 6* Xan finishes his meal in a record time and pats his stomach with an "Ahhhh." As he moves to put the dish in the sink.
<DeathStar> 6* The sink accepts the dish
<Marcus`> *Xan glances around and then moves over to the door, glancing outside.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is indeed outside, working on her staff technique.
<DeathStar> 6* She wears workout clothing she probably was told was good for her by Angela.
<Marcus`> 6* Xanatos steps outside fully, giving her a smile. He tilts his head at the tight sparse clothing, and shakes his head at the hussy Angela. "Morning."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Good morning, Xanatos Durran.
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> You make that breakfast in there?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That is correct.
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> It was delicious. I sure hope it was for me. *he gives her a smile*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It was. 6* She smacks a post with her staff.
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Then I thank you. I feel special now.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis only gives him a momentary glance, then resumes her manuevers.
<Marcus`> Pssst. I think you were supposed to say, 'You are special, Xanatos Durran.'
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I was unaware that was the case.
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> You mean i'm not special? *he frowns*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not believe anyone is 'special'.
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> I guess that's good...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shifts her stance, then swings out at the post again.
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> So did you bring up the open relationship bit to Megumi?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' next swing misses. She pulls the staff back to herself. "I did so."
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Oh yeah? How'd that go?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I... do not wish to talk about it at this time.
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Oh. Ok. *he rubs the side of his face* Well the breakfast was great. I thank you again.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods her head. "You are welcome."
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Well, maybe sometimes later i'll fix something for you.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That is unnecessary. You do not need to trouble yourself.
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> It's no trouble. I always liked to cook for you. Remember?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I remember. Yes.
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> You and Megumi doing somethign today?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We might.
<Marcus`> <Xanatos> Maybe if you don't, then we can hang out or something. *he tilts his head and then turns to move into the house*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head to watch him go, then glances back at the posts.

* Dias` is now known as Chad`Winters
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-588.7.1
<DeathStar> Location: Chad's Place
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sips her drink, sitting in one of Chad's chairs.
* Chad`Winters leans back in his chair, setting his drink down on a coaster. 1"So how was work?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> It's fine. 6* She smiles. "You?"
<Chad`Winters> Depends on who you've been talking to. 6He looks over at her
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well. I'm talking to you. 6* She notes.
<Chad`Winters> My daughter gave me advice that I'm going to take.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Really? What did Aya say? 6* She looks keenly interested.
<Chad`Winters> Told me to stop toying with Angela and tell her to stay out of my life.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Wow. You told Angela to stay out of your life? 6* She sounds surprised.
<Chad`Winters> Not yet.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> But you are.
* Chad`Winters nods. 1"Well it's either I do that or teach Aya how to be a cold hearted bitch. And I'm paraphrasing it really."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> How will that work? Don't you and Angela...work with Erevis?
<Chad`Winters> Working alongside her isn't the issue really.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sets her cup down on the coaster. "Hm."
<Chad`Winters> It's her constant desire to make herself a part of mine and Aya's life.
<Kit> 6Dawn sits at a desk, in a forest of organized piles of papers and documents, manuscripts, folders and bound portfolios and books and reference materials. Somewhere on this desk is an actual laptop terminal, but ...well, that's history. He eyes his datapad with annoyance, sweeping aside a whole new mail folder dedicated to Angela Bennet, gazing at the empty true inbox. Then sets out to compose a message.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well. So you're just going to tell her to stay out of your life, then?
<Chad`Winters> Apparently I've never been blunt enough about it. One would've assumed she would've picked it up by now.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hm. Well, Angela's condition is one always beset by the need of approval, Chad. And she's always, desperately, wanted yours.
<Chad`Winters> And I could never figure out why.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Really? 6* She looks surprised at that.
* Chad`Winters just nods.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sets down her cup. "You're like her 'father', Chad. You're part of that family social network that, even though she isn't linked by blood, she's linked to by years and years of life experience. You had a close tie to Eve, whom she was thrown together with for those few months, and frankly, you're well respected by people like Warren and Darien, whom she respects. She wants your approval, Chad...
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Because it means if you would accept and recognize her, it would mean she's grown up some.
<Chad`Winters> So because it was revealed I was the son of Alexander Cran, she decides she needs me approval.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That's part of it. And only part. You heard the rest of my argument.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Because of your personality, you've never had to worry about it, but imagine if there was someone you respected, who never gave you respect back. It would hurt. And you would keep wanting their approval.
<Chad`Winters> I did. 6He props his head up against his arm
<Chad`Winters> That's where I'm having troubles now, because if I didn't reach someone's approval, I'd simply stop going for it and move on with my life.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Because you're a never type of person than Angela.
<DeathStar> *different
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Lets put it like this. Say Aya wanted to be liked by someone like Warren, and Warren never gave her a chance to seek that approval. Aya would be crushed.
<Chad`Winters> Of course, but would she spend the next 5 years trying to win his approval though?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Maybe. Not everyone reacts the same.
<Chad`Winters> I can understand the needing approval, don't get me wrong. It's just, why would anyone person waste so much time and energy for it when they can get it somewhere else.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *smiles softly* Because that person's approval that they seek means that much to them.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> But I agree with Aya. If you are incapable of giving Angela what she seeks, it would be kinder just to tell her it's impossible and to stop altogether.
<Chad`Winters> I'm not special of a person Kat. Infact I'm the opposite. I'm cold, hard, stubborn. I toy with people and I have no problems using someone.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: not that
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I know. 6* She has a strange expression momentarily.'
<DeathStar> <Katrina> But people still care about your opinion.
* Chad`Winters looks up at her and nods his head.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina picks up her glass and takes another sip of her drink.
<Chad`Winters> I guess this is my curse. 6He raises his eyebrows a egotistical look on his face.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Perhaps so. At least until you tell her. Then I'm sure you won't have to worry about people looking up to you.
<Chad`Winters> Well I can still hope my daughter will.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> But I thought you were a cold, hard, stubborn person who toyed with people and have no problems using people.
* Chad`Winters quirks his eyebrow. 1"Touche."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina offers a small smile, setting her cup down.
<Chad`Winters> Change is something that is hard to comeby. It normally takes something big to make it occur.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Perhaps.
<Chad`Winters> People stay away from change because it's uncomfortable, it's something they aren't used to and it scares them.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Sometimes.
<Chad`Winters> Normally. People will change, but like I said, it usually occurs because of something outside their control.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Sometimes. 6* She repeats.
* Chad`Winters eyes her and just nods. 1"Sorry."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, consider it a differing of opinions, then. 6* She says lightly.
<Chad`Winters> I'd like to hear your opinion on it than. 6He looks at her softly
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh? I just think you can't generalize everyone into preset patterns of behavior. People make changes every day based on the tinest of reasons, big or small. Sometimes just because they feel like they need a change.
* Chad`Winters leans back in his chair, his finger tapping on the armrest. 1"I suppose, yes."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina studies him quietly.
<Chad`Winters> I suppose I'm way too stubborn for my own good.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Maybe. 6* She shrugs slightly.
<Chad`Winters> You don't have to worry about hurting my feelings Kat. 6He tilts his head back. 1"True honesty is something that we rarely see anymore."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm not worried. Maybe you are too stubborn for your own good. It's not my place to judge.
<Chad`Winters> Even if I asked you to?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *takes a deep breath, then lets it out* Why would my opinion matter? 6* She challenges.
<Chad`Winters> Because you were one of the few people who showed me trust Kat. Who gave me a change.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: chance
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina holds up a finger. "Ah. So, in that regard, you are like Angela, however small."
* Chad`Winters tilts his head back down to look at Kat. 1"I guess so, minus the constant hounding on it."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> True. I'm just saying. *she spreads her arms* Yes, Chad, you are very stubborn, sometimes your attitude is offputting and mean.
* Chad`Winters sits forward, rubbing his hands together, he just nods.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> But I think you do enough self-reflection that you don't need me to say that.
<Chad`Winters> But it doesn't hurt to hear it from someone else. They say it takes a bulldozer to move a boulder.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Even water can move a boulder over long periods.
<Chad`Winters> Nice metaphor. 6He smiles
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina shrugs, as if trying to be humble.
<Chad`Winters> You're a good friend Kat.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina offers a smile. "Thank you for noticing." 6* She replies not so humbling, then frowns sometimes. "I think most people take me for granted most of the time. Even if that does sound like self-pitying on my part."
<Chad`Winters> Bare with me. 6He cups his hands together. 1"People are generally selfish creatures Kat. They tend to do things that will only reward or benefit themselves and when they find someone they can take advantage of, they do it without thinking twice about what effect it has on anything else. There are some out there who've come to realize they're selfish and try not to be tho.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina listens to him, taking her cup into her hand and taking a swallow of her drink
<Chad`Winters> People see you as someone they can pour their feelings into and because they assume that since that is your job, you're fine with it. And because they assume you're fine with it, they think they can skip the niceties of showing thanks.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> A true fact of human nature.
* Chad`Winters nods. 1"I'm not saint when it comes to that myself, but I generally try to return my thanks."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You've been through a lot, Chad. It's ... changed you. But I know you're still a good person deep down. 6* She taps her head.
<Chad`Winters> Mostly boulder moving changes. 6He notes, a relaxed look on his face
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles.
<Chad`Winters> You've been through a lot yourself tho Kat.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina shrugs. "I suppose we all have."
<Chad`Winters> It must be hard for you Kat. Who does a counselor goto, to talk to? 6He eyes her curiously.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I talk to myself in the mirror.
<Chad`Winters> Whenever I try that, my mirrors crack.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You're not that bad looking.
<Chad`Winters> But I'm not that good looking tho. 6He points an accusing finger at Kat
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *shrugs* I'd give you a 7.
<Chad`Winters> Out of 8 right?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Of course. 6* She smiles.
* Chad`Winters let's out a light laugh
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks at the time. "I should probably get going."
<Chad`Winters> If you ever need to talk to someone Kat, you know I'll listen.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I know. And thank you, Chad. 6* She pats him on the knee, and stands.
* Chad`Winters stands up himself, apparently not bothered by her touching him. 1"You should let them know that a little thanks would be nice."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'll do that.
<Chad`Winters> If they truely are your friends, they'll understand. 6He walks to the door.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I know. Take care of yourself, and let me know how things with Angela go. 6* She opens the door and steps out, giving him a wave.
<Chad`Winters> I will Kat. 6He waves and closes the door behind him

<DeathStar> Location: XAn's Pad
<DeathStar> 6* And as this day begins, Xanatos would find someone ate all his pancakes.
* Xanatos stands in the kitchen, arms crossed as he tries to figure out the source of this nasty crime.
<DeathStar> 6* It seems someone ate Megumi's, too.
* Xanatos glances about and then turns to poke his head outside, to see if Erevis is doing her usual.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is outside, meditating. Peacefully, since Angela got rid of the pancake eater.
* Xanatos moves over and sits down in front of her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis remains meditative.
* Xanatos leans in close, almost touching her, but not, since well he likes his limbs remaining unbroken.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis begins to lean forward, as if going to touch lips. Does everyone know the secret technique?
* Xanatos arches a brow but doesn't move.
<DeathStar> 6* Pausing, Erevis opens her eyes, and pulls back. "Xanatos Durran."
* Kuroichigo has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Xanatos> This close. *he says, holding up two fingers*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> 'This close'?
<DeathStar> 6* She tilts her head.
* Xanatos just smiles. "So it seems someone made pancakes." He pauses. "But they are gone."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Are they? .... hm. I will have to speak to Megumi Zhenmei on the matter.
<Xanatos> Does that mean she doesn't like for you to cook for me?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I would imagine she was just hungry.
<Xanatos> Well this it's rude. I never touch the food set aside for her. You should teach her some manners.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will speak with her, as I stated.
<Xanatos> Good. *he sits back slightly.* So. It seems I interrupted you.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
<Xanatos> Think you can forgive me?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I was unaware that there was something to be forgiven
* Kuroichigo has joined #Erevis
<Xanatos> Well it's not polite to interrupt, right?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Everyone else does it. I have grown accustomed to it
<Xanatos> Then you won't mind talking too me. Right?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If you wish to discuss something, I do not.
* Xanatos nods his head once then tilts his head to glance up. "Let's talk about the war. What do you think of war?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head at him, as if trying to find the joke.
<Xanatos> No joke. *he says after seeing her display of a head tilt* No agenda for the question, just curiosity.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. I will have to think on it.
<Xanatos> You have no initial assumptions?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have not considered it before.
* Xanatos justs nods his head once, that all the explanation he needed. He picks up a piece of grass and rolls it between his fingers. 1"It's kind of interesting. I died and then everyone obtained this weird powers. You know I was the original starter of that. Controlling those plants."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I recall.
* Xanatos changes the subject abruptly. "Who gave you those marks on your neck?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, reaching up to brush her finger over them. "They are scars from a battle with Legion."
<Xanatos> I see. *he closes his eyes* He's a pretty powerful guy. But one day I will kill him.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares at him in silence.
* Xanatos opens his eyes. 1"Maybe that'll do it. What do you think?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I ... think ... that is unlikely.
* Xanatos tilts his head. "What do you think I was referring too?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I...do not know now. 6* She seems confused.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Even though I gave up my life to protect everyone, I still don't get any respect. Maybe if I kill Legion I will. Maybe I'm just not meant to get it.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ....
* Xanatos smiles slightly. 1"Silence. Come'on you're around me. Speak your mind."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I would not ... chase ... unobtainable goals. Killing Legion is ... beyond your abilities.
<Xanatos> Well I really just aimed to fly a carrier ship into him. *he gives her a smile*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis frowns.
<Xanatos> It was a joke. *he says, now frowning that she didn't get it*
* Kuroichigo has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I did not find it humerous.
<Xanatos> Oh well. Maybe I shouldn't joke about my death.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I concur.
<Xanatos> Maybe I should joke about Darien and Ariel's relationship. Or Angela. She's always fun to mock.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis retains her frown
* Xanatos sighs. 1"Maybe I shouldn't just make jokes."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I concur.
<Xanatos> Or maybe we should work on you humor. What's so wrong with making fun of the others?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not find it humerous.
<DeathStar> 6* She goes to stand.
* Xanatos tilts his head. "Sorry. I do somethign wrong?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She looks down at him. "Yes." 6* She moves for the house
* Xanatos hops up and run sto mvoe in front of her, holding up his hands. "Whoa whoa. I'm sorry, I wasn't trying to make you mad."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am aware of that. However, I do not appreciate your sense of 'humor'.
<DeathStar> 6* She eyes him.
<Xanatos> Fine. Fine. I won't make those jokes anymore. Promise.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares at him, then nods. "Very well."
* Xanatos smiles wide. "Good." He taps his chin. "So what are we going to do?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... To do?
<Xanatos> Megumi isn't about. So we can hang out, do something. Can't we?
* Sera|Working is now known as Seraphna
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .... We could...yes. 6* She nods once.
<Xanatos> You're hesistant.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances to the side. She doesn't bother denying it.
<Xanatos> Why?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> .... this is awkward for me.
<Xanatos> Would you rather I leave you alone? I
<Xanatos> NRP: -I
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I do not know. It would be ... easier. Yes.
* Xanatos glances to the ground. "I didn't ask if it would be easier. I asked if that's what you wanted."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I do not know.
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> I tried to make this easier for you. I told you that I wouldn't push, that I was content with your friendship. So why can't we be like friends?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at him. "So you desire only friendship now?"
<Xanatos> You know that I want more. We were supposed to be together. But I said that I would rather have you as a friend than nothing.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Very well. We can do something.
<Xanatos> What do you wanna do then?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not have preferences.
<Xanatos> You never did. Hmmm. So do you and Megumi just do the same ol same ol? Do you ever go out and try new things?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We do not always do the same thing.
<Xanatos> Oh yeah? What was the last thing you did that was new, that you hadn't ever did?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I swam in the lake in the park.
<Xanatos> You swam? *he pauses and then smirks* Did you doggypaddle?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No.
<Xanatos> Aw. That would have been hilarious.
* Kit[Away] is now known as Kit
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ....
<DeathStar> 6* She stares at him oddly.
<Xanatos> When people doggypaddle, they look weak and afraid. Like the water is going to get them and swallow them whole. It would have been interesting to see that.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am not weak nor afraid.
<DeathStar> 6* Her tone grows sharper and pouty.
* Xanatos tilts his head. Pouty is something he isn't used too. 1"Maybe you'll have to show me sometimes. Until then, have you ever went snowboarding?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No.
<Xanatos> Oh really? I'm pretty sure there are some indoor snowboarding places around here. Think you're up to the challenge?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is summer.
<Xanatos> Hence the indoor. Air conditioning is amazing, eh?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She glances to the side. "I do not feel the desire to do snowboarding."
<Xanatos> I see. I understand if you're afraid. It can be a scary thing.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes him. "You are attempting to goad my ego."
<Xanatos> It working?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No.
* Xanatos sighs. "Well it used too."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<Xanatos> Do you realize that you never would've found out that you loved ice skating if you hadn't been conned into it by me?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She frowns, glancing to the side. "That may be true..."
<Xanatos> So by that logic, don't you think me goading you into trying new things is a good thing in the end. I mean, if you don't like it. Then you can at least say you've tried it.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Snowboarding does not look impressive or interesting
<Xanatos> Fair enough. What about roller blading. Since it is summer?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If you wish to do that, I will comply.
<Xanatos> Guess we'll have to go to the store and gather up the right things. You think you'll need pads?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No.
<Xanatos> Alright then. Let's go. *he pauses and glances down at his sleepwear* After I change of course. *He chuckles and smiles, moving to go change*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes her clothing. A green shirt and blue shorts.
* Xanatos steps back out, a green shirt and blue shorts. He pauses. "Damnit I knew this outfit look familier." He sighs and turns around and moves back into the house.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
* Xanatos steps back out, in his normal wear. Jeans and a black shirt with some design on it. "You ready?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
* Xanatos moves over and gets into his car.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps into the car
* Xanatos starts it up and pulls out, heading to the closest extreme sports shop.
* Xanatos parks the car after a nice ride of Xan talking alot and Erevis being all silent, and then moves to walk in the shop, he lets out a whistle as he eyes the price of some of the skates.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis remains in the car.
* Xanatos comes back out with two pairs of skates and places them in the backseat as he gets inside. "If I got you a helmet. Would you wear it?" He glances at her, acting like he already did.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No.
<Xanatos> Why not?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not require it.
<Xanatos> But if you fall. You might hurt your head. *he says with a frown*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will not fall.
<Xanatos> Well that's good then. *he gives her a smile before stopping at the park, since it has a nice bit of sidewalk.* Well, I obviously get the awesome black ones to match my hair. *he says as he gets the skates out and gives Erevis her pair*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes her pair.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis gets out of the car and puts on the red skates.
<Xanatos> Now before you think I bought them to match. It just so happens they were on sale. *he nods, and moves to put his pair on*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> To match? 6* She looks at him oddly.
* Xanatos motions to her hair.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Oh. I see. 6* She nods once.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> They would require white, if that were the case
* Xanatos stands up and doesn't move. He pauses and then nods. "You're absolutely right. I keep forgetting about that part."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands up with no difficulty.
<Xanatos> Been a while since i've did this. Not much different than ice skating though.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis skates around Xanatos, then stops on his right side.
* Seraphna is now known as Angela
