<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-588.7.4
<DeathStar> Location: Tokyo
<DeathStar> 6* Angela would wake at her desk at her Omega Corporation
* Angela blinks and looks up, thinking she's passed out working again.
<DeathStar> 6* She would feel something in her hand.
* Angela looks down at her hand.
<DeathStar> 6* She's holding a knife with blood on it. It drips onto the floor
<Angela> "What the hell..."
* Angela drops it, hopping up to her feet.
<DeathStar> 6* As she hops to her feet, she bumps into something.
* Angela blinks and looks at what she's bumped into.
<DeathStar> 6* Chad Winters lays on the floor, with a knife wound in his chest
<Angela> "Oh my god..."
* Angela grabs her datapad, leaning down to check his vitals.
<DeathStar> 6* Fainty alive.
<Chad`Winters> 6Blood pools around his body
* Angela opens her desk drawer for her medical kit, calling an ambulance.
* Angela gets out some emergency nanites, checking them to make sure they're safe before applying them to chad, working on his wound.
<Angela> "Chad... come on wake up... what the hell..."
<DeathStar> 6* There's a knock on the door. "Open up."
<Angela> "It should be unlocked!"
<DeathStar> 6* A security team walks in and eyes Angela over Chad.
* Angela is in the middle of applying first aid to him. "Well? I've called an ambulance. Get help!"
<DeathStar> 6* They glance at each other, then at Angela, eyeing the blood on her clothes. "Please step away from the body, ma'am. We'll handle this."
* Angela looks at Chad, and hesitantly, pulls away. "Th-There are more bandages in the kit..."
<DeathStar> 6* A security officer leads Angela out of the room, while the others check on him.
* Angela elts herself be led, shaken up. "I have no idea what happened... I woke up and it was all like this..."
<DeathStar> 6* After a bit, the amublance arrives to see to Chad. Angela is kept in the hallway, and after a while, a police officer arrives to ask her some questions
* Chad`Winters is now known as MiniGM
* Angela answers everything truthfully, completely cooperating. Shaken up and looking a bit lost.
<MiniGM> <Officer> Please state your name. 6He pulls out his datapad.
<Angela> "Angela Bennet."
<MiniGM> <Officer> And the name of the victim.
<Angela> "Chad Winters."
<MiniGM> <Officer> And you knew him?
<Angela> "Yes."
<MiniGM> <Officer> How well did you know him? 6He jots some notes down
<Angela> "I work with him on a regular basis and he is the biological son of my adoptive father, General Alexander Cran."
<MiniGM> <Officer> I see. 6He jots some notes down. 1"And how did you find him? Did you walk into your office and find him laying on the floor?
<Angela> "No, I woke up at my desk and found him laying where he was."
<MiniGM> <Officer> So you were in your office when this happened. I see. 6he makes some more notes.
<MiniGM> <Officer> And do you remember why he was there?
<Angela> "It is highly possible..." *she tries to remember to what she was doing before she fell asleep*
<Angela> "I don't... let anyone in my office while I work at night..."
<MiniGM> <Officer> It's morning mam.
<Angela> "I know... I presume I fell asleep working last night... I often work late."
<Angela> "I can't... remember even coming into the office though..."
* Angela holds her head a little.
<MiniGM> <Officer> Well we'll have to pull the security feeds to get the full picture, I hope this won't be a problem. 6He eyes her.
<Angela> "Not at all. You have full access."
<MiniGM> <Officer> Was there any animosity between you and Mr. Winters?"
* Angela looks up at the officer. "We didn't like each other that well at all no."
<MiniGM> 6The officer eyes Angela than writes down a note on his datapad.
* Angela doesn't seem bothered in the slightest.
<MiniGM> <Officer> So let me go over this again. You know Chad Winters personally. You two don't get along. You don't remember leaving your office last night. You don't remember Mr. Winters showing up. And you found him laying in his own pool of blood in your office. Is this all correct?
<Angela> "One minor problem, I don't remember last night at all, even coming in, leaving my home."
<Angela> "I simply presume I did... because I'm here."
<MiniGM> <Officer> Alright. 6He makes some adjustments. 1"Well, too be honest with you Ms. Bennet, this doesn't look good. I'm gonna have to ask you to come down the station for now until we can sort this all up."
* Angela nods quietly. "I understand. May I contact someone?"
<MiniGM> <Officer> When we're down at the station you may. Precautionary purposes. I'll have to ask you to give me your datapad and your comm. 6He pulls a bag out and holds it open for her.
* Angela nods and deposits them.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Cafe
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sits at a table in the cafe, sipping a coffee.
<DeathStar> 6* He glances at his watch, then peers back, waiting for a certain mute.
<Megumi> 6Dawn enters, putting his violin case at the counter and sitting. Though he pauses and double takes, staring back at Darien with an odd glance.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien peers at Dawn, bringing up his cup of coffee to his lips.
<Megumi> 6Dawn gives him a solid staredown, then moves, bringing the case down beside Darien's table and sitting, leaning on his elbows.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sets the coffee cup down. "Though Chad won't bother to acknowledge, you probably helped him out pretty big the other day."
<Megumi> 6Dawn shrugs, glances off. The annoyed twitch in his eye probably signifies it's not the first time he's encountered someone like Chad Winters.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien taps his finger on the table. "You'
<DeathStar> 6* Darien taps his finger on the table. "You're a curious enigma. All these strange, whacky skills you seem to have."
<Megumi> 6He shifts his eyes to peer at Darien, shrugging again, then gesturing with his hands for an elaboration, or maybe to the point.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien studies him, then pulls out his wallet, putting some credits down. "I can't figure out why you keep seeming to pop up. But, since you've cut off Angela, I'm going to assume that means you're no longer interested in being around our little dysfunctional group. I just wanted to give you thanks for helping out Chad."
<Megumi> 6The serving girl serves him the usual espresso, to which Dawn adds eight cubes of sugar and the creamer. She also hands him a small bowl of strawberry-laced ice cream. He smiles.
<Megumi> 6Dawn glances up at Darien curiously, then gestures a thumb to the holovid.
<DeathStar> 6* He peers at it once.
<Megumi> 6Dawn reaches over to the table mount, changing it to the news.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes the news, then Dawn
<Megumi> 6He then lays his datapad down, clicking for a moment, turning it around. 1"She hated Chad that much?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes a news broadcast about some news stock thing, then looks at Dawn oddly
<DeathStar> <Darien> What?
<Megumi> 6Dawn leans over and peers at it, only signifying stock levels of something appropriate falling. He grumbles and pulls up the news he was after on the pad instead, putting a notepad aside it [What are the chances of Angela and Chad working together outside of necessity?]
<DeathStar> 6* Since there's been no real news on what happened just recently, Darien remains looking utterly confused.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Slim.
<Megumi> 6Dawn runs a finger along the end of his temple then sighs. [So if Winters showed up on a dinner arrangement, Bennet invited him, or not, in most situations?]
<DeathStar> 6* Darien crosses his arms. "Chances are Chad would not go anywhere that Bennet asked to. Chad does only what Chad wants to do, and that's typically something only he sees as a benefit for himself."
<Megumi> 6A variable twitch forms in Dawn's eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses as his comm. beeps. He puts it to his ear. "Yeah?"
<Angela> "Darien, it's Angie."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Dawn, then turns a bit. "Whatcha need?"
<Angela> "Can you come down to the police station?"
<Megumi> 6Dawn downs the espresso all at once, takes his spoon and puts some of the ice cream in his mouth, then slumps on an elbow and drums his fingers, clearly agitated.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses. "Why would I need to come down to the police station, Angela?"
<Angela> "Because I'm being held here... look, it's not good."
<DeathStar> <Darien> And why are you in there? 6* He asks, glancing at his datapad.
<Angela> "There was an attempt on Chad's life in my office, and I was the only one there... far as can be told."
<Angela> "I didn't do it... come down here, please, I need help."
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... Alright. I'll be right there.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien clicks off his comm.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I have to go. 6* He tells Dawn, moving for the exit.
<Megumi> 6Dawn eyes Darien, then glares at his ice cream, until it starts to melt. He then grabs his violin case and moves out as well.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien gets into his car, adjusting the controls and cranking it up.
<Megumi> 6Dawn knocks on the window.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Dawn, hitting a button to lower it
<Megumi> 6He holds up the datapad. [Know where Bennet is? Owe her an apology at least.]
<DeathStar> <Darien> She's in jail. For stabbing Chad Winters.
<Megumi> 6Dawn is clearly stricken with surprise for once. Then shakes his head and gestures at the seat.
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... 6* He pauses, then nods. "Fine."
<Megumi> 6Dawn shifts his weight slightly, then opens the door, sitting down after waving the ends of his shirt out of the way, sitting with his violin case between his knees.
<Megumi> 6He rubs his forehead.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at him once, then drives ahead
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Xan's Pad
* Xanatos is outside, using two wooden swords on the posts that Erevis set up.
<Megumi> 6Megumi stares at Xanatos, leaning on her two-edge sword.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis remains asleep, apparantly exhausted from something last night.
<DeathStar> 6* And yes, she is sleeping naked.
* Xanatos goes through a routine that he's apparently worked on for a long time, he pauses after a minute and glances at Megumi. "You waitin on me to finish?"
<Megumi> Not necessarily.
<Xanatos> Well i'm finished. It's all yours. *he steps back so Megumi can go forward*
<Megumi> Self-practice is not everything in routine. Observation can be useful.
<Xanatos> Well I really am finished. I hope my style was gracious enough for you. You want anything to eat?
* Megumi moves forward, carrying the twin sword in her left hand. She poises amidst the posts rather than starting from the outside and holds a hand up. She twists the sword and strikes the centerpost with one edge, grabbing with her other hand to strike the one behind her with the other hand, kicking back at the first, twists and thrusts to the left, hopping end over her to land atop it. She stares down at Xanatos.
* Xanatos nods his head once. "I'll take that as a no." He moves to step inside.
<Megumi> I would not mind, however, I do not know what your specialties lie in.
<Megumi> Beloved and I cook amongst ourselves.
* Xanatos glances over his shoulder. "I taught Erevis how to cook. I'll make you some of that fish you like so much." He steps inside and mvoes to the fridge, then after a minute he turns and moves to step into Erevis' room.
<Megumi> ...I wonder if he knows that I have showed her things since. I... like spicey foods.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sleeps there, cuddled up to a pillow
* Megumi shrugs, then turns and leaps down, cleaving one diagonally... and so on.
* Xanatos arches a brow and clear his throat. "Erevis." He reaches out and nudges her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis rolls a bit from the pillow, looking around at Xanatos. "Xanatos."
<Xanatos> You hungry?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. 6* She rubs at her face, then looks at her nude body. Then at Xanatos.
<Xanatos> You and Megumi must've had a good time last night. *he notes, straitened up*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She shifts the pillow to cover herself, glancing at the bed. She doesn't seem to want to admit to that, probably in fear of hurting his feelings.
<Xanatos> I'm hurt you didn't bring me in on the fun. *he notes, though it may be sarcasm, who knows* I'm making Megumi some fish, you want that or something more breakfast related?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at him, opening and closing her mouth, but since he goes on, she pauses, trying to make the dots in the logic.
<DeathStar> 6* But, before she can, there's a knock on the door.
* Xanatos glances up. He winks at her before moving to answer the door.
* Megumi turns, her ears twitching. She hops down from another post and moves to answer the door as well.
* Xanatos answers it successfully! Does he get experience points?
<MiniGM> 6A man stands there. A badge hanging from his neck and sweet mustache. 1"Is this Angela Bennet's residence?"
<Xanatos> Uh. Kinda. She ok?
* Megumi moves up behind Xanatos, still holding her twin sword.
<MiniGM> <Officer> For now. You must be...6He looks down at his note pad. He leans to the side looking at Megumi behind him. 1"Xanatos Durran?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks into the area wearing only a robe. Her hair is wild and ruffled from last night
<Xanatos> Yeah. What's going on? *he glances at Megumi and shoos her off with his hands.
<MiniGM> <Officer> I'll need to ask you some questions.
* Megumi frowns at Xanatos, but needn't be close to hear everything anyway.
<MiniGM> <Officer> May I come in?
<Xanatos> Yeah sure. *he steps to the side* You want some coffee or something?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies the officer
<MiniGM> <Officer> Nah, I'm good. 6He steps in, looking around. He eyes Erevis now. 1"This your wife and kid?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head. "I am not his wife. I am the w---"
* Xanatos clears his throat. "It's complicated, I hope you understand."
<MiniGM> 6The officer looks at Erevis now. 1"The?"
<Megumi> I am neither a child nor his.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Xanatos, then at the officer. "I am with her."
* Xanatos holds a hand to his face.
<MiniGM> <Officer> With her. 6He points at Megumi
<DeathStar> <Erevis> This is correct.
<MiniGM> 6The officer jots something down. 1"And you're name is?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She just stares at him
* Megumi dissolves her twin sword, waving away the crystal shards that disappate. She stares at the officer blankly. "1Did you not come here to speak of Miss Angela?"
<Megumi> Is there a problem with Miss Angela?
<MiniGM> 6The officer turns to look at Megumi now. 1"I never stated anything of that nature. But I will need both your names tho."
* Xanatos just shakes his head and moves to walk into the kitchen.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis follows Xanatos.
* Megumi narrows her eyes slightly. 1"You mentioned this as Miss Angela's residence, even though it is Mister Durran's and she had not returned last night."
<MiniGM> 6The Officer eyes them then writes some more notes down. He moves in after Xanatos.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits down at the table.
<MiniGM> <Officer> I'm not at liberty to say anthing, sorry. So back to your names? 6He holds his stylus against his datapad.
<Xanatos> I think they misunderstood the question.
<MiniGM> <Officer> It's a pretty simple question.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not feel inclined to give my name to him.
<Xanatos> Well I won't comment on that. But they're not together like they said. It's more like...well they just live with me, they are sisters.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We are not sisters.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Xanatos oddly.
<MiniGM> <Officer> Fair enough, but I will need their nam-6He eyes Erevis.
<Megumi> He is as strange as you.
<Xanatos> In spirit. *he eyes Erevis*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... How can we be sisters in spirit?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head.
<Xanatos> Why don't you go get dressed. Eh?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am comfortable.
<MiniGM> 6The Officer crosses his arms as he watches the two now
* Xanatos just shakes his head. "Fine. Give the man your name so we can get this over with."
* Megumi stares back at the officer. 1"If you wish for my name, it is rude not to give yours first."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at the officer. "Very well. I am Erevis."
<MiniGM> 6The Office writes it down. 1"And your last name."
<Xanatos> She doesn't have one.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis goes to speak, when she peers at Xanatos.
<MiniGM> <Officer> No last name? 6He looks at Xanatos
* Xanatos pauses. "Actually, she might. It's been a while since I died."
<MiniGM> <Officer> Died? 6He looks at him now.
<Megumi> <Megumi> Yes. He crashed a ship.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> He has returned to life.
<Megumi> We suspect Dark Ones are involved.
<Xanatos> They're crazy. I meant on the inside.
<MiniGM> <Officer> Ah, figuratevly. 6He nods and writes something down
<Megumi> Dark Ones are very literal.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am ot crazy
<DeathStar> 6* She frowns.
<MiniGM> 6The officer stares at the two girls again.
* Xanatos waves a hand. "Last name. You got one?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just tilts her head to the side, not speaking
<Megumi> He still has not offered his.
<Megumi> I learned in school this is quite rude.
* Xanatos just groans.
<Xanatos> I'm sorry Erevis. You're not crazy.
<MiniGM> <Officer> Oh, sorry kid. My name's Tom Officer.
* Megumi bows. 1"I am Megumi Zhenmei."
<MiniGM> 6The officer writes that down. 1"So what can you tell me about Miss Bennet."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis remains silent for now.
<Megumi> <Megumi> I believe she runs a corporate monopoly.
<MiniGM> <Officer> Let's start simple here. How do you guys know her?"
<Xanatos> I used to work with her, we've been intimate.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I met her.
<Megumi> I met her aboard a station.
<MiniGM> <Officer> So you've had intimate relations with her than? 6He looks at Xanatos
<Xanatos> Couple years ago. Not anymore though.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis remains silent, glancing at the table
<MiniGM> <Officer> She hasn't made any moves on you recently at all has she? 6He eyes him, his stylus waiting
<Xanatos> Nope. She knows where I stand.
<MiniGM> <Officer> And where do you stand?
<Xanatos> She is my friend. Nothing more.
<MiniGM> <Officer> I see. What kind of person is she?
<Xanatos> She's Angie. She's a good person. She works hard and she does her best to get everyone to like her. Even though that may often fail.
<MiniGM> <Officer> She does her best to get everyone to like her? How far would you say she'd go?
* Megumi remains off to the side, playing with the end of one ear.
* Xanatos shrugs slightly. "I wouldn't say too far. If that's what you're getting at."
<MiniGM> <Officer> I'm not getting at anything Mr. Durran. Would you say if someone didn't like her, she'd keep trying?
<Xanatos> I guess if the person outright said, I don't want anything to do with you. Then I'm sure she would back off.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head at that
<MiniGM> 6The officer looks over at Erevis. 1"Would you agree with that?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not have a comment.
<MiniGM> <Officer> And why not?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Because I will not make comments based on another's character to a stranger.
* X1 has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<MiniGM> <Officer> I see. 6He writes something down. 1"What's her relationship with a Mr. Winters?"
<Xanatos> They share the same adoptive father. Or did. Or do. Dunno how that works.
<MiniGM> <Officer> And how do they get along?
<MiniGM> <Officer>
<Megumi> Chad Winters avoids her fervently.
<MiniGM> NRP: Ignore that.
<Xanatos> He hates her guts.
<MiniGM> <Officer> I see. 6He rights a note down. 1"Any reason why?"
<MiniGM> <OFficer> Something she did? He did?
<Xanatos> Knowing Chad, there is a reason. But i've never really seen one. Wait no. He hates her because she makes mistakes.
<Megumi> That I do not comprehend. Chad Winters does not seem to like many people.
<MiniGM> <Officer> Well everyone makes mistakes.
<MiniGM> <Officer> Has there been anything that's happened between the two that would make Angela hold something against Chad for?
<Xanatos> It's possible. I don't really keep up with them.
<MiniGM> 6The officer looks at Megumi and Erevis now
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<Xanatos> So did something happen between them?
<MiniGM> <Officer> I can't answer that right now. Sorry.
<Megumi> Something obviously has. I doubt an 'officer' would come to us with hypothetical questions.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> There has been a transgression between Chad Winters and Angela Bennet.
<MiniGM> <Officer> Again, I can't say. What I can say, is that I am checking into something that relates to them both.
* Megumi finishes flicking at her ear and turns around, joining the table with her hands behind her. 1"That is also obvious. Your information is unhelpful and in ill effect."
<MiniGM> <Officer> And anything you can tell me on their relationship will be helpful in clearing things up.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Jail
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands there after having gotten Angela released temporarily. Money does what money can and Darien has favors to call in. He waits beside Dawn as Angela is led out
* Angela is led out quietly, she seems impressively calm for everything that's happened.
<DeathStar> <Darien> They said you're suspected of stabbing Chad.
* Angela nods and sighs. "I was set up, somehow."
<Megumi> 6Dawn rolls his eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks along, his hands in his pockets. "Set up?"
<Angela> "I can't remember a thing about last night, and I wake up right on the scene."
<Megumi> 6Dawn makes a pill-popping motion.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, the police have your fingerprints on the weapon and it's only a matter of time before they learn about your recent connection to Chad Winters.
<Angela> "Yeah, I assume I was drugged."
<Angela> "Yeah, too convienent a setup."
<Megumi> 6Dawn stares between the two, entirely unconvinced.
<Angela> "Someone fucks with Chad to the point he can remember what happened, you learn the information about Id killing my parents, and then this happens."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, outside some all powerful evil figure behind the scenes, I started looking into Omega Corp operations on the drive over here.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, with his help. 6* He thumbs at Dawn
<Angela> "Find anything? I've been trying to find skeletons for a while now, but I'm too obvious."
<Megumi> 6Dawn puts his hands in his pockets and peers away.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, it seems that the Board might have realized that you were buying the majority of the shares, because they've been doing some unorthodox things lately.
<Angela> "Damnit... I want all the details, I won't let them screw with the company."
<DeathStar> 6* He steps out of the jail, moving for the car.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You've sunk your entire money into this, right?
<Angela> "Everything."
<Megumi> 6Dawn seems to be snickering.
* Angela motions to Dawn. "It went to him."
* Angela walks with him.
<Megumi> 6Dawn follows at the rear, gazing around the station and then the street.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves for the car. "There appears to be a lawsuit in progress. It appears that Omega products has had some...fatal effects recently." 6* He pulls out his datapad, showing her the cases
* Angela stares.
<Angela> "What the hell?"
<Angela> "This is... they're commiting corporate sabatoge?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien gets into the car. "I think Omega Corp wanted to sell out everything before this became offical. Because, whoever is left holding the bag..."
<Angela> "Gets the blame."
<DeathStar> <Darien> And you now have the majority stocl
<Angela> "...So... I have to move swiftly to avoid being screwed. Either these people need to be brought to justice or I have to hand over the bag."
<DeathStar> <Darien> What I can't figure out how is why Chad is stabbed.
<Angela> "...I can."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Why?
<Megumi> 6Dawn re-enters the car, sitting back and investigating via datapad.
<Angela> "What do you do when you investigate a corporations CEO?"
* Angela gets in the car.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, I'd look into everything
<DeathStar> 6* Darien drives along.
<Angela> "Exactly. Whoever set this up wanted everything to come out, now."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hm. A good point. IF you're busy being tried for murder, you can't do much about the stocks.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Plus, hey, they might even twist you knew about the faulty products, Chad found out, Chad hates you, you get rid of Chad.
<Angela> "Luckily business isn't held up by legal proceedings. So I need to handle this as soon as possible."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks back at Dawn. "Can you hack into the computers and find out how Chad even got to that office?"
<Megumi> 6Dawn glances up, tilting his head. He taps his temple for a moment, then hands the datapad up to Angela. It's led into the security recordings for the lobby.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm actually interested in outgoing messages. How Chad was even contacted.
<Megumi> 6Dawn points to the datapad, then points to his wrist, as if gesturing for a time.
<Angela> "That's easy... I keep a data collector in the outgoing pipeline..." *she taps away on his datapad, bringing up the messages*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien thinks. "Night to morning."
<Angela> "They really keep forgettting the owner is also a hacker."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pulls up outside Omega Corp.
* Angela pulls up the outgoing form the times requested. "Alright, here we are."
<Megumi> 6Dawn takes it back, winds through the feed to evening and fast forwards at a ridiculous pace, looking for a specific someone. He pauses it when he sees, checking the time stamp, then hands it back to Angela.
* Angela looks at it when given it back.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien gets out of the car
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see you are here.
<MiniGM> 6Business appears to be going as usual. Not even CEO murder trials can stop this Corporation
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands there, wearing sunglasses and an outfit that screams undercover.
* Angela would be firing people if they did.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stares.
<Angela> "Clever disguise Ere."
* Angela looks at the message she was handed.
<Megumi> 6Megumi stands next to Erevis in a matching business suit... and round sunglasses.
* Xanatos just stands there in normal clothing, sighing at the two.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Xanatos. "Real smooth."
<Megumi> I feel professional and beloved looks good.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis has her long hair done up in a bun
* Angela wonders why reading is taking so long, rubbing her head.
<Xanatos> Hey, I'd rather be myself than look like them.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at his datapad. "Okay. So someone in the company had to contact Chad. Lets see if we can backtrace and find out who's user computer did it."
<DeathStar> <Darien> And pray it wasn't Angela's computer.
* Angela hands Darien the datapad with just that information.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien takes it, then leans back against the car, shifting through the information.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks around, giving a good man in black impression
<DeathStar> <Darien> You know, Angela, even if we do catch this is, the lawsuits will still progress. I'm not sure if there's much you can do to salvage Omega Corps.
* Xanatos just crosses his arms, standing there.
<Angela> "If I can find out who caused the problems, I can have the lawyers redirect the suits to the actual people involved."
<DeathStar> <Darien> The company would still take the hit.
* Xanatos glances over at Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves along. "Okay, I think I found the terminal."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at Xanatos.
<Angela> "Yeah... yeah it would, but it'd be years before most of those suits ever went through and by then most would be dropped, corporate lawyers are good at that sort of thing."
* Xanatos smiles. "How're you doin?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am fine
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis follows Darien
* Angela smiles. "Let's bust some heads then."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien motions at Angela to get themselves inside.
* Angela follows after Darien.
<Xanatos> I really need to remember that she doesn't get that stuff. *he sighs and moves after them*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head. "What 'stuff'?"
<Xanatos> Well with the tone I just used, I was hitting on you. Since you're looking amazing right now.
* Angela lets them inside, and heads in with Darien.
* Megumi turns her head, narrowing her eyes at Xanatos.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She gazes at herself. "I am proud of my disguise as wel."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps in. He figures Angela can lead them to the proper terminal, based on the info
<Xanatos> Maybe you should wear it around the house sometimes. I know I would like that.
<Megumi> 6Dawn follows along, since she has his datapad.
* Angela heads right for it. Maybe she should have paid more attention to the company then it's network, but for now, payoff!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She glances down as she walks now.
<Angela> "Right through this door and we're here."
<Megumi> I would not mind. What she is wearing beneath it was something I purchased.
<Xanatos> Oh yeah? *he glances back at Megumi and then at Erevis.* What're you wearing beneath it?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head. "Lingere. With tuna print. Megumi Zhenmei was quite insistant."
<Xanatos> Call me old fashion, but I prefer it when women wear nothing underneat their clothes.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I typically do that.
<Xanatos> Which is why you're my girl. *he smiles*
* Angela leads Darien to the terminal while they banter.
<DeathStar> 6* It appears to be a terminal for a secretary of one of the board members.
<Megumi> 6Dawn peers idly between the three stoogers discussing clothing or lack thereof.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at Dawn
* Angela walks up to the terminal and looks to Darien.
<Megumi> 6Dawn stares intently at Erevis, rubbing his chin.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis matches the stare.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shrugs. "I'm not a hacker."
* Xanatos slowly glances over his shoulder at Dawn, then looks to Erevis. "Yes Erevis. That is a man under all that make-up."
<Megumi> 6Dawn suddenly leaps back a step, pointing and gaping.
<Xanatos> ...A retarded man.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is you. 6* She pulls out her staff.
* Angela stops before moving to the terminal itself and pulls something off the back of the unit, she sits down and pulls on her HMD, typing away at the consoles controls.
<Xanatos> Him?
<Megumi> 6Megumi blinks and forms her naginata. Dawn appropriates it and faces off with Erevis. Megumi stares.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> He saw me in my undergarments while I meditated on the roof.
<Xanatos> Oh? *he pulls out his gun* I don't like peepers.
<Megumi> 6Megumi snaps her fingers. Appropriating her weapons is a bad idea.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien crosses her arms, watching the monitor as Angela works
* Angela looks for the relevant data, she speeds through commands and windows, even pulling up trace history, she knows her way around her company's computers all too well.
<Angela> "NAturally they used the console of help that wouldn't ever even notice."
<DeathStar> 6* A login done by the board member can be found. Apparantly using a fake ID to look like Angela.
<Megumi> 6Dawn shifts back, yanking a small fan out his shirt, brushing away crystal shards before they lodge in his face, he twitches slightly, then backs off from Erevis.
<Angela> "Idiot... these tags here uncover everything..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis maintains her expression with no emotion
* Angela grabs all the information she can even the fake id.
<Xanatos> Can I shoot him?
* Megumi seems to be considering the answer.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien crosses his arms. "Do you know anything about this Kyle Anderson?"
<Angela> "Other then his script kiddy belief that he's a wonder hacker?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> I mean why he would set you up.
<Angela> "No, not really."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shakes his head. "Nice. Can you hack into his bank accounts?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just keeps staring, as if waiting for Dawn to do battle.
<Megumi> 6Dawn snorts, then folds the fan up and makes an arc around Erevis to the two chatting and holds out his hand for the datapad.
* Angela finishes saving all the data to a disc. She nods and gets to work, in only a short while she's cracked it. "I got grounded for a month when I was 16 for doing this for kicks..."
<Megumi> 6Dawn twitches incessantly. The bitch better have done it right since its his datapad signature on the line.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis puts up her staff.
<Xanatos> Really Angie? I thought you learned your hacking abilities from Kane's bond?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances over. "It seems he got some large amount of moneys in the last few days."
<Angela> "I got better."
* Angela smiles at Xan.
* Megumi looks slightly amused. 1"You really did throw him off the roof, beloved?"
<Xanatos> Right right. *he just gives her a look*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That is correct.
<Angela> "He was always better then me too, speaks of his abilities, doesn't it?"
* Megumi giggles and walks over, hugging Erevis.
<Angela> "Yes, and I wonder..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, then hugs Megumi.
* Xanatos nods his head once.
* Angela traces the transfers.
* Xanatos tilts his head then hugs the two.
<Angela> "I wonder if one of those came from Chad Winters."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes the hugging orgy.
* Megumi stares up at Xanatos blankly.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at Xanatos in surprise
<Xanatos> We're not celebrating Erevis' victory?
<DeathStar> <Darien> A possibility. 6* He peers down. "But there's no direction connection."
<Megumi> 6Megumi leans over and literally bites Xanatos in the side.
<Angela> "Probably."
<Xanatos> What the fuck!? *he smacks down at Megumi to knock her off*
* Angela keeps typing away, getting all the info she can.
<DeathStar> <Kyle> Can I ask what you all are doing? 6* He asks the crowd.
* Megumi holds her head and saunters back a foot or two, whining. 1"..Ow!"
<Megumi> 6Dawn turns and shrugs at Kyle.
<Xanatos> I'm about to kick me some midget ass. *he says with a glare*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis frowns at the mboth
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will hurt you both if you continue.
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle stands there, wearing a saavy business suit.
* Angela pulls out the disk after recording what she's gotten and slips it away, closing the terminal, it would seem completely unused.
* Xanatos glances at Erevis and sighs. "Fine." He crosses his arms.
* Megumi looks up to Erevis with puppy eyes. 1"...Beloved would hurt me?"
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle eyes her leaving the terminal.
* Angela stands up and puts on a smiling face. "Kyle, hello there."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That is correct. However, we should focus on this man, who has pills in his right pocket that are used for date rape.
<Megumi> 6Dawn yanks his datapad back from Angela and begins typing on it.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien just stares at Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle pauses. "Excuse me?"
* Xanatos tilts his head and eyes Kyle. "So pathetic he can't even get his own girls?"
<DeathStar> <Kyle> I will not stand here and listen to that. What are you all doing here? 6* He eyes Angela. "And shouldn't you be in jail?"
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle moves for his office.
<Angela> "I was released on bail.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis reaches over, grabbing his wrist and twisting, dropping the man to the floor in agony.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Please do not attempt to leave.
* Angela smiles, "I'm still in charge here Kyle. Have a nice day."
* Xanatos goes to step forward and pauses. "Damn that's hot."
<DeathStar> <Kyle> Argh! Let me go you crazy bitch!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am quite sane.
<Megumi> She is.
<Megumi> 6Dawn finishes creating backups of his records and eyes the pad, tracing the transfers until he has names.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves over and reaches into his pocket, pulling out the bottle of unmarked pills.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I bet if we check your blood, you might have traces of this, Angela
<DeathStar> 6* He wiggles the bottle at her.
* Xanatos looks at them. "Aw dude. You raped Angela? Why didn't you just ask first?"
<Angela> "Good thing I insisted on that toxicology report, but let's take one of our own."
<DeathStar> <Kyle> I don't know what you're tlaking about. 6* Erevis twists his wrist, calling him to howl
<Megumi> If you admit the truth, perhaps beloved will leave you unharmed.
<DeathStar> 6* Dawn reaches a dead end with no leads. Whoever did it covered their track.
<DeathStar> <Kyle> I'll have you..ungh..arrested for this.
<Angela> "I need a datapad with sensors." *she looks at people* "Kyle, Kyle, please."
<Xanatos> Arrested on what grounds?
<DeathStar> <Kyle> Assaulting me!
<Angela> "I don't see any assault."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Are you blind?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head.
<Angela> "No."
<Xanatos> Think so. *he nods*
<Megumi> 6Dawn returns to the time Chad entered the building on the cameras and checks Angela's room at the same time.
<DeathStar> 6* The footage of Angela's room has been deleted.
<Megumi> She is merely restraining you. I believe this is called citizen's arrest.
<Megumi> 6Dawn rewinds until there is footage.
<DeathStar> 6* Angela is sitting there, drinking coffee.
<Megumi> 6Dawn keeps rewinding.
<DeathStar> 6* Coffee. Coffee. Touching herself. Paperwork. Coffee.
* Angela commandeers a datapad and starts taking tests on her blood.
<Megumi> 6Dawn continues, yawning. Looking for the source of the coffee.
<DeathStar> 6* From her personal stash
<Megumi>
* Angela leans over and eyes Dawn's work. "If he ruined by Blue Mountain Triple A..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis holds onto the furious Kyle. She turns to face Angela. "I believe we should---" 6* Kyle suddenly pulls a tazer and jams it into her side, causing the woman to drop.
<Megumi> 6Dawn shakes his head sadly, then continues at a quicker pace, making sure no one besides Angela entered her office.
* Xanatos slides forward quickly and moves to uppercut the man.
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle is uppercutted. He falls backwards.
<Megumi> 6Megumi leans forward, bringing a fashioned tonfa into his gut.
<DeathStar> 6* Angela's blood tox is clean, but much time has passed
<DeathStar> 6* Darien watches the two combo him.
* Xanatos moves to knock the tazer out of his hand.
* Angela doesn't head for Kyle, but his office door, she taps the terminal for the door with a sequence and locks it. "Damn Kyle, so bloody impatient."
<DeathStar> 6* Dawn would find someone moving in, keeping their face away from the camera, and messing with her coffee.
<DeathStar> 6* Kyle holds his stomach. "Bitch."
<Megumi> 6Dawn grins, following the figure through the camera trail, tracking it in backwards time.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis groans in pain, trying to stand.
* Angela selects a few data discs and hands them to Dawn. "Keep anything useful you find."
<Megumi> Mister Durran, may I have that device?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shakes her head, breaking her bun so her hair falls down long again
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am displeased.
* Xanatos picks it up and then looks at Erevis. "Just don't let him get away, Megumi."
<Megumi> Yes, let me see that device.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks over Dawn's shoulder. After awhile, Kyle's face appears on a camera.
<Megumi> 6Dawn makes an "OK" sign with his right hand.
<Megumi> 6Dawn notes the time and saves the footage trail.
<Angela> "Got it Dawn?"
<Xanatos> No. We don't want it to look like we attacked him. Just need to show that we've kept him from running away.
<Megumi> ...Yes, that device stuns.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods. "Lets go talk to the police."
<Xanatos> He's just standing there now. It's ok, Megumi.
* Angela walks back over to Dawn and smiles. "Someone call the police and have this man arrested."
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Location: Chad's Hospital Room
<DeathStar> <Darien> And so, that's when we cleared Angela's name, and Erevis was put under investigation
<DeathStar> 6* Aya sits beside, who is conscious now.
* MiniGM is now known as Chad`Winters
<DeathStar> <Darien> Apparantly something about incest.
* Angela shakes her head.
* Chad`Winters just shakes his head, a smirk on his face. His hand holds his side, where the blade entered.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Unfortunately, news of Omega Corps somehow leaked, and the prices of the stocks are plummeting.
<Xanatos> It really made me look bad. So I blame you Chad.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands there silently, still in her suit.
<Chad`Winters> Makes me glad I got rid of all my stock options now. 6He moves his hand to his face, rubbing it.
<Angela> "Yep... damage done... thankfully you didn't have to pay a heavier price for it Chad." *she avoids looking directly at him, but sounds sorry*
<Angela> "I'm broke again."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Being rich only brings unhappiness.
<Megumi> I do not understand how one can think beloved and I are sisters.
* Megumi glares toward Xanatos.
<Angela> "THe money isn't what I care about... I had five really really interesting breakthroughs about to happen in the R&D department..."
<Xanatos> Maybe because I was trying to keep Erevis from going to jail. What you two are doing is illegal you fucktard.
<Megumi> What are we doing that is illegal?
<Chad`Winters> Hey, watch your language Durran.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares at Xanatos with a look
* Xanatos just grumbles.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya's eyes widen
<Chad`Winters> I need to stop winding up in these places.
* Xanatos coughs. "So Chad. How're you paying for this place?"
<Chad`Winters> I thought I'd rent out the space between your ears.
<Angela> "I have some money left."
<Xanatos> Well gee, Chad. Glad I wasn't about to offer to pay for it.
<Angela> "Just what I've put into savings, but it should cover it."
<Megumi> 6Dawn swats Angela.
* Chad`Winters waves his hand dismissively. 1"I'll manage."
* Angela rubs the back of her head. "Hey!"
<Xanatos> Maybe Mr. Darien T. Moneybags can help you out.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at the group. "Well, I'm going home. To my woman."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks out
<Megumi> 6Dawn holds up his datapad, displaying an account number amazingly similar to Angela's with a whopping double digit in it.
* Angela looks at Darien. "Thank you."
* Xanatos shakes his head at Darien. "He loves to rub that in."
<Angela> "Okay... so... I have less then I thought... what the hell."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Anytime. 6* He waves as he steps out
* Angela looks downtrodden.
<Megumi> 6Dawn hands her a blueberry covered in malt.
<Xanatos> You three ready to go? *he glances at the girls*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Perhaps you and I will both need to get a job.
<Angela> "...Why are you in my account anyways?"
* Chad`Winters glances at Erevis. 1"You, work?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Are you saying that I am incapable?
<Xanatos> I think he is.
* Angela sighs and enjoys the malt.
<Chad`Winters> No, I just find the thought of it amusing.
<Megumi> 6Dawn stares at her, then points to the blueberry he gave her and waves his hand dismissingly. As if it doesn't require a fee.
<Angela> "I'll whip up a few designs and sell them..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis frowns in a pouty way. "I do not see why it is amusing.:
<Xanatos> Don't worry Erevis. We'll work out an working arrangement later.
<Megumi> 6Dawn walks over and holds out a hand to Erevis.
<Chad`Winters> I've never seen you hold a job before.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares at his hand, tilting her head.

Session Ident: #Erevis
<Angela> "My jobs tend to only end after a burning crash. For some reason, those happen a lot."
* Angela shakes her head.
* Xanatos turns to Chad now. "So listen up, i'm going to help you out. Not even i'm such a bastard that I would let you lost everything, get stabbed, and still point and laugh at you."
<Xanatos> NRP: lose*
* Chad`Winters shifts and sits up in his bed now, wincing. 1"I appreciate the thought, but I'll manage."
<Megumi> 6Dawn holds up his datapad to Erevis, displaying a help wanted ad on a Craig's List wiki for the cafe. Megumi holds up and down behind Erevis to see.
<Xanatos> With your 0 dollers and your exploded house? Right, maybe I will do the pointing and laughing bit.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. I will keep that endeavor in mind.
<Chad`Winters> I've got money. 6He glances out the window
<DeathStar> 6* Aya stares at Chad.
* Xanatos stares at Chad, too.
<Xanatos> You keep it under the matress, Chief?
<Chad`Winters> No. It got blown up, remember?
<Megumi> 6Dawn eyes her, then the datapad, then erks reading about waitressing. He holds up a hand and waves it in negative. Then gestures to his throat and holds out a hand in dramatic gesture as if singing.
<Angela> "I need an asprin, and not the kind that finds me waking up with Chad dying on the floor this time."
<Xanatos> I was referring to Kat's couch. *he smiles*
<Chad`Winters> You should be more specific than.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks uncomfortable.
* Megumi snatches the datapad from Dawn and reads through it, tilting her head.
<Xanatos> Well, i'm going to cover this hospital bill. And if you and Angela can manage, you're welcome to stay at my place. If not, that's fine. I offered. Alright?
<Megumi> 6Dawn stares blankly at Megumi.
* Angela looks away, not going to say yay or nay to it. "It's your house, I don't have a say."
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue, it appears he's not in a good mood now.
<Megumi> <Megumi> Hm. I have done this sort of work before. However the part he has scrolled to is asking for entertainers, beloved.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I do not entertain
<DeathStar> 6* She notes simply, stepping out
<Megumi> You sing." 6She walks after, taking the datapad with her.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
<Megumi> 6Dawn rubs his forehead, twitching slightly.
<Megumi> Singers are listed.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am not interested.
* Chad`Winters looks over at Dawn now, turning away from the window. He studies him now
<Megumi> Okay." 6Throws the datapad over her shoulder.
<Megumi> 6Dawn jerks and leaps forward to catch it, juggling it for a moment. He sighs.
* Angela walks over and looks. "I could go for it."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya watches Dawn, and giggles.
<Megumi> 6Dawn eyes Angela skeptically.
<Angela> "...Seriously."
* Angela eyes him back.
<Megumi> 6Dawn holds up the datapad and clicks backwards. [They karaoke. Never heard you.]
* Xanatos glances over his shoulder. Then looks back to Chad. "You're priority is your daughter. I won't be the man that aids in starving a little girl."
<Chad`Winters> So you say I can't prove for my own daughter now? 6He look at Xanatos
<Chad`Winters> NRP: provide
<Angela> "Well how about we do karaoke tonight then?"
<Angela> "I need to unwind."
<Megumi> 6Dawn shrugs. [I wish those two would shut up. The bill's paid for.]
* Angela eyes Xan, giving him the YOU ARE ENTERING INTO BATSHIT COUNTRY, TURN BACK! look.
<Xanatos> I'm not here for your mind games. I'm here offering my aid. You've got no choice on the hospital bill. But you have a choice at my place. Take it or leave it. *he turns and moves towards the door* Don't be too long, Angela.
<Angela> "Okay Xanny."
<Chad`Winters> I do have a choice with the hospital bill and I don't need people paying it for me.
<Megumi> What made you change your mind, beloved?
<Megumi> 6Dawn eyes Chad Winters, suddenly looking nervous.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have changed my mind?
<DeathStar> 6* Aya peers at Dawn, watching his reaction
<Megumi> Mh, you told him you would keep it in mind, then said you were not interested." 6She gazes up at Erevis, tilting her head.
* Xanatos glances over his shoulder. "Fine. You do what you've gotta do Chad. I've made my offer." He steps out.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I misunderstood the job.
<Megumi> Oh? What did you think it was?
<Angela> "Oh look at the time, we should go Dawn."
* Chad`Winters looks over at Dawn and Angela now.
* Angela drags him to safety before Chad finds out.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I believed it was serving food to humans.
<Megumi> Mh. That was the first article, I think. You would rather do that than sing?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Correct.
* Megumi giggles. 1"Why is that?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not entertain.
<Xanatos> Not anymore. Boy do I miss those days. *he says as he walks by them*
<Megumi> 6Dawn frowns at Angela, yanking away from her. He peers at Chad, then gazes at Aya and bows halfway, then nods to Chad and turns to leave with her.
* Chad`Winters grunts in response to the nod
<Megumi> Do you recall? I used to serve.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya bows back.
<Angela> "Get better soon Chad!"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I remember, yes.
<Megumi> I might respond. Then I would be able to listen to those songs again.
* Chad`Winters takes a deep breathe and lets it out. He looks over at Aya. 1"Sorry for worrying you."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya shrugs
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances toward Megumi.
* Megumi blinks at Erevis.
<DeathStar> -END-
