<Kit> Date: July eleventh, current year.
<Kit> 6Megumi rubs her head as she moves along. 1"Is there anywhere you would prefer to go, Ariel? If she has not come here... then I have no faith that she is of anywhere I would search."
* Ariel considers a moment, pausing in her stride. "I... am not certain. Life isn't exactly as usual for either of us right now... is it?"
<Kit> 6Megumi peers away from Ariel again, rubbing her forehead. 1"I'm sorry, Ariel. I've been rather selfish with that even... Surely you're more bothered by Zephyr than I."
<Kit> <Megumi> I guess I did little more than embarass myself with that.
* Xan|Girl has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Ariel> "Life seems to like to taunt me about it... twice I've seen her since then... but niether was her."
<Kit> <Megumi> That's because she's gone. Once something is gone, it can never be the same again.
* Ariel nods slowly.
<Kit> 6Megumi shifts off the path, catching the end of the pond and crouching, snatching up a stone and skipping it across the surface, holding her knees afterward. 1"Learned that all too well lately. In more ways than I care to know."
<Kit> <Megumi> I thought I'd be more responsible and whatnot if I took after Erevis, you know. That way of reasoning, that way of speaking. It's just a funny little act, though. I've worried so much about harming others with this unpredictable nature of mine, that I failed to realize I'm hurting them in other ways anyway."
* Xan|Girl has joined #erevis
<Ariel> "...I do worry about how Erevis has taken to this. And... I worry about Xanatos."
<Kit> 6Megumi scowls at the rippling water. 1"Trying to act responsible for my own people; Just a farce. I was ticked off, nothing more. How I dealt with it, you guys were right... to hate me."
<Kit> <Megumi> About Zephyr, it wasn't my place to cry like an infant. That should have been your right, but I couldn't stand it with everyone holding it in.
* Xan|Girl has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Kit> 6Megumi reaches out and trails a finger in the water. 1"Darien doesn't concern me that much, really. Perhaps I'm naive, but I'm not stupid... I shouldn't be so angry at him following his own feet. It's probably my own insecurities staring back at me, making me uneasy when he does as he sees fit. Same with Chad."
<Ariel> "With your people... I can't comment. But you were not wrong to cry about Zephyr... she was your friend."
<Kit> <Megumi> Heh..." 6Gazes away toward the trees.
<Kit> <Megumi> Funny. I blame Erevis' confusion on Angela and Xanatos, but it was me who said I wouldn't let them have their way. Back in the day I'd have done something right away, fear of going crazy not being an issue. Trying to be all 'mature' I've become a real weakling.
<Kit> <Megumi> She's real receptive, you know. Takes in everything around her-- I bet my unsettled mind is the most to blame.
<Kit> 6Megumi peers over her shoulder, blinking. 1"Not that I know why I'm bothering to tell you that. You should already know, considering your relations in the past."
<Ariel> "I think... your biggest problem... is that you ran away."
<Kit> 6Megumi giggles, holding up a hand and waving it. 1"I've been running away a long time."
* Xan|Girl has joined #erevis
<Kit> <Megumi> Despite what this Xanatos may believe, I sincerely doubt Erevis returned my love because of all the times I played her shadow and acted of her accord.
* Ariel shakes her head, "I wish you hadn't run from Xanatos... I cannot believe this has helped the situation any..."
<Kit> 6Megumi murmurs. 1"Hell, my true confession was practically to the death."
<Kit> 6Megumi shakes her head. 1"I'll change it."
* Xanatos has joined #erevis
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Xanatos
<Ariel> "I shouldn't get involved... but if I can help any, let me know."
<Kit> <Megumi> Nah. I'll handle it. If I can't save my own love, what right do I have to talk about changing fate?
<Kit> 6Megumi flicks her newly manifested tail, peering at the water again. 1"Ariel, what'll you do about Legion?"
* Ariel hesitates, "...there's... not a lot I can do at the moment."
<Kit> <Megumi> But what will you do?
* Ariel pauses, "...if I can... Kill him. Swiftly."
<Kit> <Megumi> At what expense?
<Ariel> "I... don't know. But... I'll do what I need to."
<Kit> <Megumi> Hmm..." 6She turns slowly and peers at Ariel, smirking after a while.
<Ariel> "...I do not play to throw my life away Megumi. We don't need another martyr..."
<Ariel> "...but if I can stop him perminately... I will."
<Kit> <Megumi> That's good to know. 'Cause you know...
<Ariel> "...yes?"
* Gabriella is now known as Seraphna
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Seraphna
<Kit> <Megumi> Well, forgive me for being selfish another time, but it'd be a shame to lose another momma.
* Ariel smiles sadly, "I don't want to pain those important to me... or waste the sacrifice that Zephyr made..."
<Kit> <Megumi> I apologise in advance if I steal the opportunity away, though." 6Hops to her feet. 1"You were mentioning a cafe, earlier, right? I know a nice one, let's go, 'kay?"
* Ariel nods, "Sure... alright."
<Kit> -END-?!

* Logging #Erevis to 'logs\EsperNet\#Erevis.20080306.log'
<DeathStar> 6* Darien flies them to the location of the shuttle crash. He peers down at the mess below
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes his comm, and clicks it to audio where he can talk without holding it. "Yes?"
<DeathStar> 6* The doctors move over to Erevis. They make her take off her shirt, and since she doesn't wear a bra, she frowns, her cheeks slightly more colored on her typically pale face.
<Seraphna> "Darien? It's Angela checking in."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien taps the window, pointing out a redhead to Megumi.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hey, Angela. I have to get back to you. I'm checking out Xanatos' latest shuttle crash.
<Seraphna> "Oh goodie, and I've got loads to tell you when you do."
* Xanatos` coughs as he follows along after them. "Uh, it's really just the backside."
* Megumi leans against the window, smiling. 1"Erevis!
<Megumi> She's back...
<DeathStar> 6* They begin to examine her back. "This is very serious."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Roger. 6* No doubt Angela can hear Megumi going EREVIS!"
<Xanatos`> Yeah, I did what I could.
<Seraphna> "Is Ere okay???
<DeathStar> <Darien> She was with Xanatos. And looks hurt. I'll let you know more later.
<DeathStar> 6* He brings the shuttle down nearby.
<Seraphna> "Alright..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien clicks it off and lowers the ramp.
* Seraphna hangs up.
<Xanatos`> If it's worse that you're prepared for, a friend of mine has a doctor working for him that's used to these type of things.
<DeathStar> 6* They just begin to work on her. Apparantly they're trained for EMERGENCIES
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps off the shuttle and moves over to it. Erevis peers at him, covering herself slightly. He glances at Xanatos
<DeathStar> <Darien> Taking a vacatin?
* Xanatos` just nods his head once. "Total blast. We went to a resort."
<DeathStar> <Darien> It looks it.
<Xanatos`> Yeah I might have accidentally sucked at flying, you know how that goes.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah.
<DeathStar> 6* He glances at the shuttle, where Megumi hasn't gotten off.
* Megumi moves down the ramp slowly, hands behind her, staggering in a nervous manner.
<DeathStar> 6* The doctors give Erevis a shot without her permission. She gives them her death godlook.
<Xanatos`> What are you doing here anyway. *he pauses when he sees Megumi* Right, nevermind.
* Xanatos` whistles at Erevis and gives her a look.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at Xanatos slowly.
* Xanatos` shakes his head, since they are helping her. Help being the key word.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> They have made me sleepy and weak.
<Xanatos`> You need your rest if you're going to recover, nasty wound like that. Alright? I'll be here, I'll keep away all the bad critters. *he smiles*
<DeathStar> 6* They shift Erevis to a gurney, to put her on a shuttle.
<Xanatos`> Hey, whoa. I'm coming with her.
<DeathStar> <Doctor> Alright.
<DeathStar> 6* They wave Xanatos on
* Xanatos` gives a wave to Darien and hops onto the shuttle.
* Megumi frowns toward Xanatos, then looks to Darien, then peers toward the shuttle. 1"I am coming as well."
<DeathStar> <Doctor> Sorry, only room for one passenger.
<DeathStar> 6* They close the shuttle rmap once Xanatos is on.
* Megumi looks slightly defeated, then huffs.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien watches the emergency crews go, then peers at Megumi.
<Xanatos`> I call you from the hospital. *he calls out before the ramp closes on him*
<Megumi> I'm getting really tired of being shrugged off.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Xanatos was just quicker.
<DeathStar> <Darien> We'll follow.
<DeathStar> 6* He walks back to his own shuttle.
* Megumi waves her hand dismissingly at the leaving crews. 1"Yeah, well. Dark ones, Legion, humans, I swear."
* Megumi follows Darien, muttering.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I feel insulted.
<Megumi> Why's that?
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm a human.
<Megumi> You're special.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Now I feel more insulted.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien takes his datapad, getting in touch with Ariel.
<Megumi> Not Xanatos special.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien gets into the shuttle and gets in the pilot seat, setting the datapad down so he can talk once Ariel picks up.
<DeathStar> <Darien> By the way. I never knew Erevis' breasts were so perky. 6* He notes, perhaps to get Megumi's mind riled in a good way instead of a sulky way.
* Megumi sits back, crossing her legs. 1"Now who're you calling?"
<DeathStar> 6* He lifts the shuttle up and begins to follow
<Megumi> Wh-What's it to you? Back off, I have my hands full with Xanatos and Angela as is.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm trying to reach Ariel, but apparantly she's not picking up.
<Megumi> I don't think Ariel likes comms.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hm.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP/SCENE JUMP-
<DeathStar> Location: Hospital
<DeathStar> 6* Darien instead informs Angela about what happened. He sits in the hallway.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lays in a hospital bed, wearing a gown presented to her.
* Megumi attemps to muscle her way in, hur hur.
<DeathStar> 6* No one stops her.
* Xanatos` is by Erevis' side like he promised he would be.
<DeathStar> 6* Opening her eyes, Erevis peers at XAnatos.
* Seraphna shows up, moving beside him in the hallway. "How is she?"
* Megumi gazes toward Xanatos evilly from below.
* Xanatos` smiles at her. "How do you feel?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Apparantly she got shot in the back by something the docs never seen before. My guess? Dark One related.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I have been better.
* Seraphna sighs, "We need to watch her more... would it kill to put a tracking device on her?"
* Xanatos` nods his head. "You'll get better too, it just takes a lttle time."
<Megumi> Beloved, you were somewhere dangerous again.
<DeathStar> <Darien> She has a tendency to destroy electronics by touch
<Xanatos`> Her name is Erevis. Megumi.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Megumi.
<DeathStar> 6* She gazes away, perhaps not wanting to make eye contact. "Yes."
<Seraphna> "True... eh... anyways.... Chad and I did a little job for Alexander."
* Megumi ignores Xanatos. 1"Did you find what you were looking for?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... Oh? 6* He glances at her slowly
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Perhaps.
* Megumi inhales deeply. 1"Then..."
<Seraphna> "We found a Beta facility... apparently my parents had been working there."
* Xanatos` just seems amused by that, he decides to let this conversation play out.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, we knew they worked on the Beta project.
<Seraphna> "From what we culd tell, they were trying to replicate me."
* Megumi heaves a sigh. 1"...I suppose it's enough that you returned home. I can't very well be angry since I was the one who ran away."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien raises a brow.
* Xanatos` eyes Megumi like she is insane and then glances at Erevis.
<Seraphna> "We uncovered 50 sentient Betas... whom we had to destroy."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at her, her expression tenser. A slight frown.
<Megumi> It's idiotic of me to ask that we face things together if I avoid the inconveniences I dislike. I won't do it again.
<Seraphna> "We also found parts to a Beta that kinda looked like me."
* Seraphna pulls out a small data disc and hands it to Darien. "A copy of my parent's computer."
* Xanatos` arches a brow, he wonders just how that was an apology.
<Seraphna> "I'm gonna be reading, but see if you can divine anything from it."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien takes it slowly, peering at it. "Sure."
* Megumi turns her head slightly and eyes Xanatos. 1"You should be wary, Durran."
<Megumi> Although our acquaintance is vague, at best, since you should be dead, there is a being that may come for you because of me."
* Xanatos` narrows his eyes. "What the hell did you do?"
<Megumi> You already met him, Durran.
<Megumi> That famfrit hunter is here. On Earth.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies Megumi, concern on her face.
<Xanatos`> Oh. Pfft. Just another person that needs to get in line and wait his turn.
<Megumi> He had a 'turn' with me earlier while I was with Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pockets the disc.
<Xanatos`> Well you seem fine, must not have a long turn at least.
<Xanatos`> NRP: have been*
<Seraphna> "It's worrying me."
<Seraphna> "You see... they died before I was nearly killed and taken by Cran."
<Seraphna> "Which means they were trying to do this before I was ever taken from them..."
<Megumi> Were I not gifted with the kind of manifest I am capable of, I would be very possibly severely injured. Darien was harmed, and I do not wish to see this repeated with you or beloved.
<Seraphna> "I have good and bad theories about it..."
<Xanatos`> Hey, me and Erevis know how to attract trouble and wounds, so you're just going to have to get used to that.
<DeathStar> <Darien> And what are they?
* Megumi stares at Xanatos. 1"You're being very familiar with Erevis. Should I be concerned?"
* Xanatos` holds up his wounded hand, not to mention the cuts and dings all about him. He smiles and then leans over to whisper to Erevis.
<Seraphna> "Well, the Alphas needed human donors to contribute to their makeup in creation, at least I think."
<Seraphna> "Perhaps the Betas did as well."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods. "We will talk tomorrow."
* Xanatos` winks to her and pats Megumi's head as he moves to step out
* Megumi offers a smile to Xanatos as he pats her. 1"I do not mind your offer to be friends, Xanatos, but if you wish to take advantage of my weaknesses, Erevis is not one I will tolerate."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien hmms.
<Seraphna> "Which might actually explain my ability to control them when I was the Omega... genetically tied to me."
* Xanatos` glances over his shoulder. "It's not about me or you anymore Megumi." He steps out.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis frowns now that she's alone with Megumi. She glances at her again
<DeathStar> <Darien> I never heard of the Betas having any genetic or DNA work
* Megumi peers toward Erevis now. 1"I am sorry, firstmost, for not being at your side in need."
* Xanatos` looks between to two who seem to be ignoring him.
<Seraphna> "We never heard a lot about the project as a whole did we?"
<Megumi> Secondmost, for leaving you alone. Third, for not being there to protect you. Fourth, for being helpless now.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances up at Xan now
<Xanatos`> I think they're going to have a talk, so you two might be out here for a while. *he messes up Angela's hair and goes to walk away, but pauses and glances at Darien*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She glances to the side. She appears to be trying to decide how to say something
<DeathStar> <Darien> Alright.
* Seraphna blushes a bit and looks at Xan. "Kay."
<Seraphna> "Are you all coming home or what?"
* Megumi rubs her forehead. 1"I'm sorry for adding another danger to those already present."
* Xanatos` shifts to look at Sera. "I have a hotel room fee that's overdue."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shakes her head. "You have nothing to apologize for, Megumi."
<Seraphna> "So pay it and come home. I don't like the house that quiet."
<Megumi> Yes, I do. Most of all I'm sorry for not understanding your feelings as well as I should.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Angela.
* Seraphna doesn't seem to like being alone.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis frowns. "I believe you picked the correct course of action in leaving for a time."
<Xanatos`> Her house, not mine. I'm surprised you didn't go the way of Megumi and shack up with the Ariel and Darien.
<Megumi> Look what it led to... I can't accept this.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I want you to remain with Ariel.
* Seraphna looks at Darien.
<Megumi> I can't do that...
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shakes his head.
* Seraphna shrugs.
<Xanatos`> Shucks. Maybe next time Angie. *he gives a wave and moves to walk off*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Very well. But I will not be returning home, then.
<Seraphna> "Come home!"
<Megumi> Then it's no home of mine.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at her head on. "I wish to be alone for a time, Megumi Zhenmei."
<Xanatos`> It's not my home. *he says as he turns, walking backwards* Hasn't been for a bit, right?
<Seraphna> "You're talking silly... don't you want to be around Ere?"
* Megumi can't hide being hurt whatsoever. 1"...That's understandable."
<Xanatos`> When she wants me around. *he notes, presses against a door, pushing it open and stepping out*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances to the side, forcing herself to keep a neutral expression.
* Seraphna sighs and looks down.
<Seraphna> "Did I push too far Darien?"
<Megumi> Then I'll remain alone as well.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis frowns.
* Xanatos` is now known as Xan|Gone
<Seraphna> "Great... another screwup..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not want you to be alone.
<Megumi> Darien and Ariel have their own life. I can't mess with that. Let alone if that famfrit shows up again... No one else should be involved in that. It's my own past, so it should only haunt me.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... ... 6* She closes her eyes. "Then we will go home together."
* Megumi holds up a hand and shakes her head. 1"You need time."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No. I do not want you to be alone.
* Seraphna fixes her hair a little.
<DeathStar> <Darien> *eyes his watch*
<Seraphna> "I guess the plan failed then..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Plan?
* Megumi reaches a hand up and plays with a lock of hair idly, debating. 1"...If we do, then I will remain away. So you may have 'time.'"
* Seraphna looks at him, "Yeah, plan. Get Ere with Xan, change the future?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes her. "You can't force that kind of stuff."
<Seraphna> "Yeah..."
* Seraphna looks the way Xan went, scratching her head. "...Yeah."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Besides, Xanatos is too selfish to be with Erevis.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<Seraphna> "Heh... never sees what he has till it's gone."
* Megumi gazes at Erevis. 1"...You may have the room, but I will bide my time elsewhere in the house. If something happens, we will be nearby, however, I will not bother you otherwise. Is that acceptable?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Very well.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis closes her eyes again, and turns her face away from Megumi.
<Megumi> I'll never feel alone like I did before.
* Chad`Winters is now known as Dias-DesperateSleepWife
* Seraphna looks at Darien out of the corner of her eye.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, I guess if Megumi hasn't stepped out yet, then they reconciled.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands up.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Is that true?
<Seraphna> "Go home to Ari hun... I'll take them home."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Have fun. Tell Megumi I'll send her new clothes over tomorrow
<DeathStar> 6* Darien puts his hands in his pockets and walks off.
* Seraphna runs her hand through her hair. "Sure thing Darien..."
* Megumi nods, although she's not looking. 1"What you have shared with me is irreplaceable and my own truth. That darkness in my heart that whispered the end is gone. I have no need of such useless thoughts with what I have been given.
* Xan|Gone has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
* Seraphna sits back and sighs, looking up at the cieling.
* Xanatos has joined #erevis
* Megumi bows to the bed. 1"Please, rest well and recover quickly, beloved."
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Xanatos

<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-588.7.13
<DeathStar> Location: Erevis' Home
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps into her house once more, having escaped the hospital.
* Kit follows her in, though remains quiet, probably because of what she said before about not bothering Erevis.
* Kit is now known as Megumi
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves inside. She moves into the bedroom, but does not close the door
* Megumi seems to have removed what little she contributed to the bedroom worth in clothing and maybe a pillow or blanket during the times she was probably booted from the hospital after visiting hours.
<DeathStar> 6* Pulling off her clothing slowly, Erevis puts on a robe, tying it loosely around her waist.
* Megumi runs a finger along her lip, then turns reluctantly and makes for the living room
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits on the bed, gazing at nothing.
* Seraphna has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Seraphna has joined #erevis
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Seraphna
<DeathStar> 6* A fly buzzes around Megumi
* Megumi eyes the fly, wondering how the hell it got in.
<DeathStar> 6* It lands on her nose, resting it's wings.
* Megumi paws at her own nose, frowning.
<DeathStar> 6* It flies up and lands on her head
* Megumi continues swiping.
<DeathStar> 6* It buzzes away
* Megumi gives chase
<DeathStar> 6* It zooms around in the kitchen
* Megumi chases, scrambling on fours at points.
<DeathStar> 6* It retreats into Erevis' room, figuring it's safe in there
* Megumi slides in, leading for the fly.
<DeathStar> 6* It buzzes onto the bed. Erevis turns her head to gaze at Megumi rushing in like a psychotic cat
* Megumi freezes, minus a slide on her feet, staring at Erevis blankly with her mouth half-open about to mrowl.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Are you well, Megumi?
<Megumi> U-um... Yes.
<DeathStar> 6* The fly buzzes on top of Erevis' head
* Megumi twitches slightly.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She remains unaware of the fly. The fly begins to rubs it's "feet" together
* Megumi 's eyes flicker back and forth watching it.
<Seraphna> * A newpaper taps Meg on the head.
* Megumi squeals lightly, moving to the side and eyeing its source.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances up at the source as well.
* Seraphna stands there in her underthings and a t-shirt.
<Seraphna> "You're making a wracket."
<Megumi> ...Oh?
<Seraphna> "Yeah."
* Megumi folds her hands together and turns away from Angela, avoiding eye contact.
* Seraphna newspapers her again. "What's this, Meggy avoiding me?"
* Megumi covers her head and cringes away.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Please do not do that, Angela Bennet.
* Seraphna puts the newpaper aside. "Alright Ere."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis has a stern look for Angela.
* Seraphna tilts her head, looking sleepy, Meg seems to have roused her from a nap.
<Megumi> ..S-Sorry Ms. Bennet...
<Seraphna> "It's fine Meggy."
<Seraphna> "And please, call me Sera, or Angie."
<Megumi> Th-That's okay, Ms. Bennet.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head.
<Seraphna> "That's... okay?"
* Megumi plays with the end of one of her ears, turning slightly to smile softly, then moves back out of the room.
* Seraphna looks a tad bit confused but shrugs, pulling one of the shoulders to her tank top back up to where it belongs, she looks to Ere, bows her head, and closes the door, trailing after the cat.
* Megumi has quit IRC (Ping timeout)

<DeathStar> Location: Erevis' Pad
<DeathStar> 6* Darien drives his car, with Ariel in it, toward Erevis' house. In the back seat is all of Megumi's new clothes.
<Jennifer`> * Angela follows Meg through the house, newspaper in hand.
<Kit> 6Megumi stares at Angela standing around with a newspaper, a furrowed expression on her face while she lounges on the couch.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "What's up with you anyway?"
<Kit> <Megumi> Huh?
<Jennifer`> Angela> "You seem different from when you left."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien hums some oldie tune as he drives, tapping the wheel with his hand in beat to it
<Kit> 6Megumi tilts her head at Angela. 1"D-Different from... when I l-left?"
<Jennifer`> Angela> "THe studdering and timid kitty act are new."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien gives Ariel a smile as he hums, pulling up into the driveway.
<Kit> <Megumi> ...I wouldn't say that, Miss Bennet.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "New to me, anyways, and again, Sera or Angie."
<Kit> 6Megumi gazes at her curiously. 1"...D-Did you forget... me?"
* Ariel glances to Darien, "Are you coming in, or did you just want to drop off her stuff?"
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Not at all Meg. THat's why this is new to me. I remember the rambunctious kitten before."
<DeathStar> 6* Turning off the car, tapping the wheel. "I'd probably cause less trouble if I stayed out here."
<Ariel> "Are you sure?"
<Kit> 6Megumi looks at the floor. 1"...I... don't think I was..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well. I THINK I would. I mean. No promises. I can be a bad boy, even outside in a car by myself.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien gives her a lopsided grin
<Jennifer`> * Angela looks at her curiously. "Mmm... I kinda liked it. Not that I mind this now either."
* Ariel leans over and kisses Darien, "Well... don't sit out here too long if you start to get bored."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Will do. I'll just admire you as you walk to the door.
* Ariel smiles softly, and grabs Megumi's things, before heading to the door.
<Kit> <Megumi> ...I don't believe I've changed, Miss Bennet.
<Jennifer`> "Angie."
<Jennifer`> Angela>
* Ariel knocks on the front door.
<Jennifer`> * ANgela walks over and answers it.
<Jennifer`> * Angela stands there in her panties and a tank top, hair a bit tossed, she smiles at Ariel, "Oh! Ariel, how are you?"
<Kit> 6Megumi crawls to the end of the couch and slowly raises her head to peer over it, blinking. 1"..."
* Ariel half stares, "...do you often answer the door in this state?"
<Kit> <Megumi> Momma knight!
<Kit> 6Megumi leapfrogs the couch's arm and dashes over, sliding in front of Angela. 1"Yes, yes she does!"
<Jennifer`> * Angela blinks and looks down, as though just realising her own attire. "...Oops!" *She grabs a robe from near the door and pulls it on. "Sorry... MOmma Knight!?" *she looks at Meg*
<Jennifer`> Angela> "I do not."
<Jennifer`> * Angela newspapers Meg.
<Kit> 6Megumi grins widely, rubbing the end of one of her ears. 1"She does more frequently than not, hee."
* Ariel shakes her head a little, and gives Megumi a hug. "...how is Erevis doing?"
<Jennifer`> "Hmmm? She's doing her reflective quiet brooding thing."
<Kit> 6Megumi recoils from the paper, spinning around and snatching it. She erks when she's hugged by Ariel, but swipes her hand back, swatting the side of Angela's face in return.
* Jennifer` produces another paper, bopping Megumi. "Enguarde you!"
<Jennifer`> * ANGELA
* Ariel places Megumi's things by the door, "...I think I'll go say hello to her. Enjoy your swashbuckling."
<Kit> 6Megumi holds up her hand, her eyes narrowing. The end of Angela's bursts into flames.
<Jennifer`> "Haha! FIRE!" *she giggles and thrusts it at the cat*
<Kit> <Megumi> Momma knight! I don't... wanna... aw.." 6She relinquishes following as Ariel approaches the bedroom. Still up to her promise.
<Jennifer`> * Angela sighs and douses hers in the kitchen sink.
* Ariel glances to Megumi as she walks, "...I've never seen you do the fire thing before. Is that new?"
<Kit> 6Megumi shakes her head. 1"It's an old trick, actually. I used to use it in a less focused manner to keep myself warm. Manipulate particles on a molecular level and create vibrations. Friction."
<Kit> <Megumi> It was originally inspired by my observing Erevis here on Earth after my encounter with the fire rune, however.
* Ariel nods understandingly, then knocks on Erevis' door
<Kit> 6Megumi retreats slightly.
<Jennifer`> * Angela bops Meg with the wet, slightly burnt newspaper.
<Kit> 6Megumi turns and scowls at Angela, apparently braver with Ariel present.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Come in. 6* Comes the reply after a few second delay.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Heh, you calling her Momma makes you a roundabout sibling."
<Kit> 6Megumi narrows her eyes, setting Angela's top on fire instead.
* Jennifer` pulls it off reflexively, it hitting the floor and starting to burn the house.
<Jennifer`> * Angela
<Jennifer`> ANgela> "...CAT."
<Kit> 1Megumi waves her hand, snuffing the oxygen from it before it even hits the ground.
* Ariel looks at the two, sighs, then opens the door. "So how's the escapee?"
<Jennifer`> Angela> "You're replacing that one."
<Kit> <Megumi> Why? It has more fabric than half your outfits still.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The..escapee? 6* She asks, tilting her head. She is wearing a robe and apparantly is sitting on the bed, facing the wall, though her head has shifted toward Ariel
<Jennifer`> Angela> "It's got far less then most, thank you, and you don't jsut go around destroying people's property.
<Ariel> "I heard you ran out of the hospital."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Though the doctors believed I required more days under the supervision, I made them see things differently.
<DeathStar> *their
<Kit> 6Megumi gazes back toward Ariel entering the bedroom, losing her presence, she peers back at Angela and suddenly looks frightened. 1"...U-Um... I-I'm sorry, Miss Bennet..."
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Call me Angela."
* Ariel nods slowly, "So how are you doing? I never did hear what happened..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am fine. I merely suffered some damage from a Dark One blast. 6* She pauses, glancing to the side. "And how are you?"
<Kit> 6Megumi shrinks away from Angela. 1"I ..I couldn't do that."
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Why?"
<Kit> <Megumi> It's impollite.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "It's impolite to ignore one's wishes."
<Jennifer`> Angela> "I don't like being called Miss Bennet, strangers call me that."
<Kit> <Megumi> Strangers do not call you that. They often say 'Are you Angela Bennet?'
<Jennifer`> * ANgela looks at her and sighs, shaking her head and turning away. "Please call me Angie, or Sera."
<Ariel> "I am... surviving. Things have been... complicated lately, haven't they?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. Very.
<Kit> 6Megumi just averts her eyes.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "I honestly think of you... as like a little sister... so hearing you call me that is kinda weird."
* SPoC` is now known as Dias`
* Ariel nods slowly, "You're living here with Megumi and Angela?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Yes. Angela Bennet seems intent on being here, and I do not wish for Megumi Zhenmei to be out there alone.
<Ariel> "She was taking things pretty hard... but she seems to be doing better now."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... is she? 6* She sounds dubious, glancing at the wall.
* Ariel pauses, "...she's trying."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis inclines her head in a slight bow.
<Kit> 6Megumi tilts her head, gazing up at Angela, shifting her feet. 1"...Little... sister?"
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Well yeah... I know you're older and all but appearance wise it gets hard to remember that..."
<Kit> <Megumi> ...As far as ages... I understand.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "But really... we're friends, we live together, and I feel I can trust you like I could a sibling."
<Ariel> "She's making an effort to try to be more cheerful and happy. But... she seems to still be hurting."
<Jennifer`> * Angela looks back at her and smiles.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. 6* She frowns, troubled, perhaps a bit guilty in expression. "She is."
* Ariel moves over to sit next to Erevis, "So what's bothering you?"
<Kit> 6Megumi holds her hands before her and bows to Angela. 1"P-Please forgive me... I... I can't consider such things right now... I'm not ready."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is complicated. And I cannot go into great detail, nor point to a single thing either. All things are coming toward an end, and I do not wish to cause pain, but it is unavoidable."
<Jennifer`> * Angie continues that same smile, nodding softly. "Alright."
* Ariel nods slowly, trying to keep a frown from creeping onto her lips
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Just know I care Meggy." *she walks past her towards her room, putting the newspaper in Meg's hands*
<Kit> 6Megumi dual-wields newspapers and receives a slight penalty to attack accuracy. She peers back at Angela.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Perhaps we should speak of something else. 6* She says, glancing at Ariel, worried. Probably have upsetting Ariel.
<Jennifer`> * Angela opens the door to her room, not looking back, she's hiding her face as she slips inside.
<Ariel> "If you wish."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods, then pauses, not really having a topic.
* Ariel pauses, realizing that she doesn't have a lot of topics either. "So... it's been suggested that I take up a hobby. Do you have any ideas?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I find I enjoy ... singing. And drawing. And going to the park and guarding the pond from young humans who tease the ducks.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I also enjoyed... 6* She pauses, her cheeks reddening slightly. "Nevermind."
<Kit> 6Megumi returns to the couch. She leans back and sighs, then rummages under it, pulling out her flute, which she begins playing in random whimsical medlies.
<Ariel> "...if you were going to say something that included relations with Megumi, then that doesn't count as a hobby."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see.
* Ariel pauses to consider, "Although, she did say I should do something which involved spending more time with Darien..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am sure he would enjoy spending more time with you. He cares for you very deeply.
* Ariel nods, "I should probally ask his opinion on things, especially if he's going to be involved." She pauses, then adds thoughtfully, "Maybe I should learn to fly."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis inclines her head. "It can be very ... stimulating and relaxing."
<Ariel> "I've never really properly learned to fly... an aircraft at least."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sits down on the couch beside Megumi, entering steathily
<DeathStar> <Darien> How tribal.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is different from flying yourself.
<Kit> 6Megumi squeaks loudly, ending a note on a sharp pitch, gathering herself up into the corner of the couch. 1"M-Mister Starr!"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Are we back to the Mister crap again?
<Jennifer`> "Is she doing it to you too?" *stands nearby, having come down the hall, now in jeans and a pink t-shirt, fixing her hair with a brush*
* Dias` is now known as Dias-Sleep
* Ariel nods, "Very different, I'd assume. Not being able to feel the wind under your wings."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I imagine it felt very good.
* Ariel pauses, "I'll admit, I miss it a little."
<Kit> 6Megumi eyes Darien glumly, he's going to be mean about it, too? Her eyes well up in tears.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head slightly. "But you would need to bond with someone again to achieve it."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Angela, then Megumi. He taps his fingers on his leg. "So what happened to growing up and standing your ground?"
* Ariel nods, "I'll worry about that after all of this is sorted out."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods slowly, looking away now.
<Kit> <Megumi> Wh-What do you mean?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien clicks his tongue, a disgusted look briefly appearing before a bored one. He stands up, adjusting his clothing. "So, Angela, want to talk in the back?"
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Sure Darien."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps through the living room to the kitchen, to the backyard.
<Jennifer`> * Angela follows after him.
* Ariel rests a hand on Erevis' shoulder, "It's been... longer than I can count properly, since the last time I went to fly casually. It's nothing to do with you."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I understand. 6* She nods once.
<DeathStar> <Darien> So, how are things?
<Kit> 6Megumi hrmphs after Darien steps out. 1"What kind of question is that? I haven't given up anything."
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Just... just fine."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Good, good. And the new job?
<Jennifer`> Angela> "It pays some bills... the work Alexander gave me set me nice and comfy though."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis thinks to herself. "How did you decide you were to be with Darien Starr?"
<Jennifer`> * Angela smiles at Darien.
<DeathStar> <Darien> That's good. And you and Dawn? How is that? Working at his turf.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Alright I suppose."
* Ariel pauses, thinking about that. "It's hard to quanify... it just felt so right to be with him."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods slowly.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Mmmm. 6* He looks up at the sky.
* Jennifer` looks up as well. "...I'd rather not burden anyone with my troubles."
<Jennifer`> *Angela
<DeathStar> <Darien> I see.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien casually doesn't inquire as he peers up.
<Jennifer`> * Angela keeps looking up, her toes curling in the grass.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien rocks back and forth
<Jennifer`> ht. * She crosses her fingers together, and laughs at that.
<Jennifer`> <@Kit> Chii peers at her skeptically. "...I mean I'm not sure if that part of you is present. Cheryl, I don't think you're... a dragoon. At least not right now for some reason.
<Jennifer`> <@DeathStar> <Cheryl> You can't detect me? Because I totally feel you.
<Jennifer`> NRP: ...
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Angela oddly as she has a weird moment
<Jennifer`> * ANgela looks back, wondering what he's looking at. "What?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Nothing.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Kay."
<Jennifer`> * ANgela sighs, rubbing the back of her head. "I just... don't get it."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Get what?
<Ariel> "Emotions are a complicated thing, even for those who were raised in the middle of them."
<Jennifer`> Angela> "He had the gall to tell me to stay away from him and Aya."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Chad?
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Like I want to be anywhere near him, yes."
<DeathStar> <Darien> So you don't care about not being near Aya?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> This is very true. 6* She nods her head. "I wish I knew what to do, but I do not."
<Jennifer`> * Angela sighs, "There's nothing I can do about that... if she wants to get to know me then it's her choice."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Sure it is.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "He's the father, so long as he's around I'm barred from seeing her."
<Ariel> "Some times... you can't afford to try to think out logically what's best. You need to feel out what you want to do most. It's not easy at the best of times."
<Jennifer`> * ANgela closes her eyes. "It's not like I'm gonna have any of my own... and she's so much like Eve..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Nonsense. You'll have your own kids one day.
<Jennifer`> * Angela looks at him now, "Ere... she mentioned once... that I didn't have any kids in the future."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She nods.
<DeathStar> <Darien> And how long into the future was she before she came back?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> It could have been months.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Guess you're right..."
<Jennifer`> Angela> "JUst overwhelmed I guess..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien puts his hands into his pockets. "That mean you going to start calling me Mister Starr?"
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Why the heck would I do that?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> It just seems to be how some people around here cope with being overwhelmed.
<Jennifer`> Angela> "No... I just wait till everyone's gone and lose it."
<DeathStar> <Darien> That's healthy.
<Jennifer`> Angela> *shrugs a little* "Only just started reading those logs... hate to say it but I'm prepared for more bad news..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Ariel. "Thank you for coming today, Ariel."
<DeathStar> <Darien> When it rains...
<Jennifer`> Angela> "It pours... just... finding everything I did... and the picture itself..."
* Ariel nods, and gives Erevis a hug. "Take care of yourself Erevis."
<Jennifer`> Angela> *smiles softly* "I should... get back to reading."
<DeathStar> <Darien> *rubs the side of his face* You can't let yourself get totally absorbed into the past. Sometimes you gotta take some air.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis returns the hug, rather strongly. "You as well, Ariel."
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Yeah I suppose."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Maybe take the cat for a walk
* Jennifer` has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Jennifer` has joined #erevis
<DeathStar> <Darien> Maybe take the cat for a walk
<Jennifer`> Angela> "Ever tried to walk a cat?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hm. It's funny. I always considered myself a cat person.
* Jennifer` is now known as Angela
<Angela> "I like bunnies."
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Angela
<DeathStar> <Darien> Now that's creepy.
<Ariel> "We'll talk later. And you can contact me any time."
<Angela> "How is that creepy?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Bunnies are creepy.
<Angela> "Why?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis bows her head.
* Angela tilts her head.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Great. Now you got the Erevis tilt thing.
* Angela blinks and looks up. "I... do?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> You're beyond hope.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien holds up his hands, as if giving up, and moves for the house
<Angela> "Hey!"
* Ariel returns the gesture and steps out of Erevis' room.
<Angela> "Don't be mean."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien meets up with Ariel, doing the "she's beyond hope" Gesture for her with no context, moving onward for the front door
<Angela> "You're mean!"
* Angela crosses her arms and huffs, heading for her room.
* Ariel glances towards the voice, then heads after Darien. "Got bored in the car?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm a bad boy.
<Ariel> "Yes, you can be."
* Angela sits down on her bed and sighs, pulling her datapad over to herself, she lays back and starts to read.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien does an exaggerated wave for Megumi, bows, and steps out the front door
<Kit> <Megumi> Darien, you should visit more often.
<Kit> 6Megumi scowls at his leaving figure. 1"And stop buying me clothes!"
<DeathStar> <Darien> But of course. 6* He calls out as the front door is still open for Ariel.
* Ariel waves and heads after Darien, not wanting to keep him waiting.
<Kit> <Megumi> Baibai, Momma knight.
* Angela is now known as SeraSleep
<Kit> 6Megumi returns to playing flute melodies.
<DeathStar> 6* And so, Megumi is left alone again. The fly lands nearby, eyeing it's nemesis.
<Kit> 6Megumi lowers the flute, narrowing her eyes. Her tail manifests and flicks.
<DeathStar> 6* The fly rubs it's feelers together
<Kit> 6Megumi slides the flute away and changes postures to a prepared pounce.
<DeathStar> 6* The fly walks --- along a glass surface. Yes. Pounce, nemesis. Pounce.
<Kit> 6Megumi leaps.
<DeathStar> 6* The fly moves away, letting Megumi leap for the glass surface.
<Kit> 6Megumi crashes through it, receiving numerous injuries, but valiantly gives chase!
<DeathStar> 6* The fly buzzes around madly, staying high
<Kit> 6Megumi pursues, leaping upward to swipe occasionally.
<DeathStar> 6* The fly is finally cornered. It awaits certain demise.
<Kit> 6Megumi cups her hands over it.
<DeathStar> 6* It buzzes
<Kit> 6She now calmly walks it to the door, opens it and releases, then shuts the door and returns to the living room.
<DeathStar> 6* It buzzes away.
<Kit> 6Megumi stares down at herself. Glass cuts. Ack.
<DeathStar> 6* This is surely her end.
<Kit> 6Megumi moves to the kitchen and crouches, licking her arms' wounds.
<DeathStar> -END-
Session Close: Fri Mar 07 02:53:21 2008

Session Start: Sat Mar 08 20:40:04 2008
Session Ident: #Erevis
* Logging #Erevis to 'logs\EsperNet\#Erevis.20080308.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-588.7.15
<DeathStar> Location: Dawn's Cafe Hangout
<DeathStar> 6* And thus, your Angela scene
* Seraphna takes a seat, presently taking a break, not needing the money, she's been doing this for fun recently.
<Kit> 6Dawn peers over, having claimed a table to himself to relax, a distinct twitch in his eye as he looks over an espresso to end all espressos.
* Seraphna moves over and joins him. "Hey you."
<Kit> <Dawn> ..." 6Narrows his eyes. He never invited her.
<Seraphna> "What's your problem?"
* Seraphna leans on the table slightly.
* Dias` is now known as Chad`Winters
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sits in Chad's car, having been lured out to discuss that results of Erevis' report about what she and Xanatos did on the planet. "She has me searching for some sort of 'key'." 6* He eyes a paper drawing of it
<DeathStar> 6* It appears to be more of an amulet than anything
* Chad`Winters glances over at it. 1"That's a funny looking key."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I figure it must go in a circular lock
<Chad`Winters> Maybe it's the key to her heart.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Then I'll charge Megumi for it.
<Chad`Winters> I doubt she'd know how to use it right.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Chad, then ahead. "Don't underestimate her so easily."
* Seraphna baps the back of his head for ignoring her and heads to the bar to make herself some coffee.
<Chad`Winters> Interesting. 6He turns down a street.
* Seraphna takes a seat again with an espresso to kill Kit's espresso.
<DeathStar> <Darien> So I hear that Cheryl almost died.
<Kit> 6Dawn jerks forward, then narrows his eyes further at Angela. Then sighs.
<Chad`Winters> It was close. Luckily Dias puts himself before others at times.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Your concern for Dias is overwhelming.
<Chad`Winters> What can I say? I'm a loving guy.
<Seraphna> "Well? If you have a problem talk about it. You've been a bit of a jerk lately and I have no clue why."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien doesn't bother to say anything, glancing out the passenger window. "Where are we going?"
<Chad`Winters> Oh, I know of this nice quaint little place.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes him.
<Kit> 6Dawn blinks, eyes Angela, then looks away with guilt, pushing a plate over to Angela with a truffle cupcake on it.
* Chad`Winters waves his hand dismissively. 1"You'll love this place." He smiles that dangerous Cran smile and puts on a pair of shades.
<Seraphna> "I'll take that as a sorry."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Eh.
* Seraphna enjoys it with her espresso. "Are you still interested in meeting the others?"
* Chad`Winters parks his car infront of a familiar cafe hangout.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes it, then Chad. "No."
<Kit> 6Dawn glances up, suddenly devoid of his passive-aggressive nature.
* Chad`Winters looks over at Darien. 1"What?"
<Seraphna> "Yes? Well I'll put some calls in, Marcus and Dias at least might be easy about it."
<DeathStar> <Darien> We're not eating here.
<Chad`Winters> But you have coupons.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Pick another location.
* Chad`Winters leans foward and points. 1"But they're not busy. At all really."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien points at the window, where Angela can be seen. "Angela works here. So pick another spot."
<Kit> 6Dawn leans on his hand and nods slowly.
<Chad`Winters> Interesting you'd say Angela and not Dawn. 6He studies Darien now
<DeathStar> <Darien> Because you told her to stay out of your life.
<Chad`Winters> Of course she'd tell you that.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Duh.
<Chad`Winters> Well it seems Dawns in there and since he decided to pay for my hospital bills, I have to go shoot him now. 6He reaches behind his seat and grabs a small bag.
<Seraphna> "Alright, well I'll see about that." *she sips the espresso* "This place is pretty fun to work in."
<DeathStar> <Darien> We're not going in there, Chad.
<Chad`Winters> I don't recall giving you the option. 6He pulls the key out of the ignition
<Kit> 6Dawn shakes his head in dismay, then slides an envelope to Angela.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks at him, his face very serious. "This isn't a joke, or negotiable. You told Angela to stay the hell out of your life, so you fucking respect the boundaries you yourself set up. Or by God, I'll fucking have Aya visit Angela."
<Chad`Winters> Look. I'm not here for Angela, got it?
<DeathStar> <Darien> But she's here.
<DeathStar> <Darien> So, pick another day and time.
* Seraphna blinks and looks at the envelope, taking it and checking it.
<Chad`Winters> So I'm supposed to stay out of grocery stores or restaurants or sidewalks that she's on?
<DeathStar> <Darien> You're suppose to stay out of places she works. You two may have to interact whenever we do a mission, but the fact is this is her place of work. If you had a job, would you want Angela walking in?
<Kit> 6Dawn leans back, silently hrmphing. The envelope contains a note of thanks and an electronic voucher. The amount isn't designated.
* Seraphna blinks a bit. "Umm... thanks Dawn."
<Chad`Winters> I couldn't care if she walked into the place I worked at. Hell as long as she kept it professional, she could even talk to me.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You know, you're fucked up in the head. 6* He states, glancing out the window now
<Chad`Winters> I just can rationalize personal life and everything else.
<DeathStar> <Darien> So if she talked to Aya, and kept it professional, you're fine with that?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes him again
<Kit> 6Dawn's eyes casually focus on something out the window behind Angela.
<Seraphna> "Would you like anything else? About to get back on shift."
<Chad`Winters> Do you think she can tell the difference between professional and personal?
<DeathStar> <Darien> That's not what I asked.
<Chad`Winters> I'm asking you to define professional in Angela's eyes.
<DeathStar> <Darien> YOU're the one who said if she kept professional, so clearly we're going by YOUR defintion.
<Chad`Winters> And I'm saying Angela doesn't seem to know how to do that. She get's attached to everything, she has a need to feel that she's apart of something. When she looks at people, she can't just see a person or a co-worker. She has to define that person as a sort of family member.
<Kit> 6Dawn shakes his head slightly, peering at the table again, before outside.
<DeathStar> <Darien> And I think it's unfair for you to pop up in her private areas of her life, knowing that.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Believe it or not, Chad, but the world does not revolve around you
<Seraphna> "Alrighty."
<Chad`Winters> Oh I know that. If it did, all the buildigns would the same height.
* Seraphna gets up and smiles at him, before heading to the counter, the place otherwise empty.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Go in there if you want. 6* He opens the door to the car and walks off down the sidewalk in the opposite direction
<Chad`Winters> But fine if you don-
<Chad`Winters> 6He clicks his tongue
<Kit> 6Dawn eyes the events outside, then shrugs and raises from his chair, moving over to a spot behind the counter. He hooks his datapad up via a wireless connection and changes the electronic information bar outside the cafe to read [New waitress. Free tiramisu on first visit.] Then walks off into the back.
* Chad`Winters opens his door and steps out, shutting it behind him. He adjusts his glasses and moves to the cafe.
* Chad`Winters moves inside and over to the front counter.
* Seraphna turns from fixing some glasses and stares at the figure before her.
<Chad`Winters> Angela.
<Seraphna> "...Hello, can I help you today?"
<Chad`Winters> I'm looking for Dawn.
<Seraphna> "He's in the back, I'll see if he can come out."
* Seraphna turns and heads into the back where Dawn went.
* Chad`Winters nods and stands there, glancing around the cafe
<Kit> 6Dawn appears to have vacated the premise. Or at least can't be found in the back.
* Seraphna sighs and lowers her head. She steps back out and shakes her head. "Sorry, it looks like he left."
<Chad`Winters> There's a surprise. 6He sets the small bag onto the counter.
<Seraphna> "Is there anything else I can do for you? Coffee maybe?"
<Chad`Winters> When he comes crawling out of his hole, give him this. 6He slides over the bag. 1"And that if he ever pays for something I owe on again, he wont' be recieving credits in repayment." 6He turns and moves back towards the entrance
* Seraphna puts it under the counter. "Alright, I'll pass it on. Come again!"
* Seraphna secretly hopes he doesn't, of course.
<Chad`Winters> 6It jingles like credits, just to be specific
* Chad`Winters steps out and gets in his car, disappearing down that lonely street
* Chad`Winters is now known as Chad-GoingtobeMissedGone

* #Ep10AngelLovesChad is being logged
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-588.7.12
<DeathStar> Location: Military Hospital Facility
<DeathStar> 6* Chad and Angela have been given free treatment, upon their return, and are currently recoperating on medical beds in a shared room. Awaiting their payments.
* Seraphna lays back, eyes closed, a bandage over her throat and several bandages scattered around her body, resting.
* Chad`Winters sits on the edge of the bed, his eyes closed.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander steps into the room. He appears to be holding their medical charts, glancing them over.
* Chad`Winters opens his eyes and looks over at Alexander.
<Chad`Winters> It's a shame I wasn't able to recover anything valuable. 6He makes a saddened look.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> I didn't think you would. Though I did think you would successfully destroy the entire base.
<Seraphna> "Happy to be of service then."
<Chad`Winters> Had no choice after someone activated the base defenses.
* Seraphna speaks strained, and very quiet.
<Seraphna> "Oh shut up..."
<DeathStar> <Alexande> Well, there's a problem.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander sets the charts down on a table.
<Seraphna> "That is...?"
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Your reports stated you found 50 Betas, correct?
<Chad`Winters> Fifty Tubes, Only 49 were filled. It got hard to keep track of them after the lights shut off.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Well, we found only the remains of about 30 Betas.
* Seraphna coughs.
<Chad`Winters> Make's sense. I doubt they'd attack us with all 49 of them.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Chances are there's twenty rogue Betas. My guess is Angela woke one up, and he then proceeded to activate the other 49. And the defenses.
<Chad`Winters> He? 6He studies Alex now
<DeathStar> <Alexander> I use the term loosely.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> However, these Betas, at least based on your reports, exhibited more behavior and tactics than an "it".
<Chad`Winters> Of course. 6He rolls his eyes. 1"I thought Beta's weren't sentient.
<Seraphna> "They can be sentient."
<Seraphna> "Or at least, made to emulate it."
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander folds his hands together, glancing at Angela now.
<Seraphna> "I was working on a similar project at Janus."
<Seraphna> "Montana was the only prototype..."
<DeathStar> <Alexander> So your guess is these Betas are like your prototype.
* Chad`Winters glances at Angela. 1"So than her parents were working on the same project.
<Seraphna> "They could have been... if I thought of it they must have... it might be in the files we got."
<Chad`Winters> And by the Beta part that looked strangely like Angela. I'd say there were trying to replace what someone took from them.
* Seraphna blinks, gripping her sheets.
<Seraphna> "So... you're thinking I was taken before they were killed?"
<Chad`Winters> Well it's that. Or you're parents weren't happy with you. You can pick the more comforting one.
<Seraphna> "Comforting one."
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander remains silent.
* Chad`Winters looks up at Alexander. 1"So what we're looking at, is Beta's that are almost like Alphas. Great."
<DeathStar> <Alexander> That isn't the part you will find least pleasant, I imagine.
<Seraphna> "The best I was able to do in my project was set a series of predetermined actions based on situations."
<Seraphna> "...Is there more?"
<DeathStar> <Alexander> If they follow typical Beta behaviors, and have you two locked as threats, with no outside input, they will continue to track you two down.
* Chad`Winters sighs. 1"I need my comm back now."
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander motions at the dresser near the bed.
<Seraphna> "Great... just peachy..."
* Chad`Winters glances and reaches over grabbing it. He puts it in his ear and taps it. 1"Kat, come in."
<Chad`Winters> NRP: err aya
<Seraphna> "So there are twenty of these things... if I was my old self I'd probably be able to just override them..." *looks down and stares at her hand*
<DeathStar> NRP: <Alexander> Yeah, because the GM would totally do this plot if you could do that
<DeathStar> 6* A pause, then a tired voice. "Yes?"
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Hey, did I wake you up?
<DeathStar> <Katrina on comm> Well, yes, Chad.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Sorry. It appears I'm working late now. Alexander here sent us to an old lab where Angela turned on 50 Betas. 20 of which appear to want us dead now.
<DeathStar> <Katrina on Comm> It's nice to know she's up to her usual mistakes.
* Seraphna grumbles.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander boredly looks at his datapd.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Tell me about it. She got trapped behind three blast doors. It only cost me by tact belt on the 2nd one.
<DeathStar> <Katrina on Comm> You loved that belt.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> I did. Worse news, these aren't your normal retarded Beta's, so I want you to take Aya some where safe and tell no one until I contact you.
<DeathStar> <Katrina on Comm> Alright. I know a few fun places we can go.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Alright. I'll get a hold of you when I feel it's safe. And make sure it's me, incase the Beta's can replicate my voice.
<DeathStar> <Katrina on Comm> Alright. We'll use that codeword you like.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Right. Just make sure it's me Kat.
<DeathStar> <Katrina on Comm> I will, Chad.
* Seraphna sighs and rubs her head.
* Chad`Winters moves his hand from his ear. 1"Well atleast we have the advantage of knowing they'll come for us.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> I would assume directly, and not through your daughter.
<Chad`Winters> You'll have to excuse me for not wanting to tempt the fates.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> They could be good practice for her. 6* He notes, as if purposely tapping Chad's button
<Seraphna> "Alexander, drop it."
<Chad`Winters> And so could you. 6He sits back.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander smiles politely.
<Chad`Winters> Angela, how would someone set up Beta's to communicate with themselves?
<Seraphna> "The systems were pretty intertwined, all on one network."
<Seraphna> "One box talks to another which talks to another."
<Chad`Winters> Can this network access the Holonet?
<Seraphna> "Not directly, I used Montana at a terminal to do that."
<Chad`Winters> Well let's go with the assumption your parents were far more intelligent than you. Is it possible?
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander glances toward Angela.
<Seraphna> "No, it was a control frequency, meant for things like control unit to device."
<Seraphna> "It had nothing to do with information exchange, only impulse."
<Seraphna> "My parents couldn't control the things with their minds."
<Chad`Winters> Ok, so we'll say they can. Which means they probably know where we are. 6He leans forward again, rubbing his forehead.
* Seraphna looks for something to throw at him.
<DeathStar> 6* A bedpan
* Seraphna picks it up.
* Chad`Winters stands up. 1"Where'd they put my guns?"
<Seraphna> "Reguardless, accessing a public terminal wouldn't be that hard."
<DeathStar> <Alexander> In the dresser.
* Seraphna retrieves her own gear after getting up.
<Chad`Winters> I doubt it. They wouldn't blend into the crowd easily. So they'll either attack when it's dark or they'll wear things to cover their faces. 6He opens the dresser and pulls out Ebony and his modified gun, placing the holsters on his body
<DeathStar> <Alexander> You make them seem very human.
<Seraphna> "He does... never thought of them like that."
<Chad`Winters> If my theories correct, Angela's parents were trying to make, well her. So I'm sure they began working on making them as human as possible.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> So they'll easily be confounded by closing doors, then.
* Seraphna tosses the bedpan at Alexander.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander tilts his body slightly to avoid it
<Seraphna> "If you wanted me to be a mega athlete you could have included that you know."
* Chad`Winters smirks, something rare. Especially being caused by Alexander of all people. 1"If they hold the capacity to learn, they hold the ability to adapt which means in time it'll be hard for us to tell the difference easily.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander nods. "I can see why Cran would want such a weapon."
* Chad`Winters eyes Alexander now as he adjust his holsters.
* Seraphna adjusts her armband a little. "They were trying to remake me... they had to think I was dead."
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Unlikely.
* Chad`Winters looks at Alexander now.
<Seraphna> "Unlikely? But the accident on the colony was the huge coverup over my existance."
<DeathStar> <Alexander> They were dead before that.
* Seraphna stares.
<Seraphna> "Then why would they..."
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander glances back. "Anyone who glanced at the autopsy reports would know that."
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Didn't Spade ever tell you?
<Seraphna> "No..."
* Chad`Winters pulls Ebony out, checking the clip.
<Seraphna> "What didn't he tell me?"
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander looks curious at that. "I wouldn't know. I never met him."
<Seraphna> "You just asked!"
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Sorry, thought I heard 'why'. 6* He waves his hand.
<Seraphna> "Well... what didn't he tell me?"
<DeathStar> <Alexander> That they died before the colony incident.
<Seraphna> "So I could have been taken well before the incident."
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Unlikely. Since Cran found you nearly dead.
<Chad`Winters> Sure she's not your kid? 6He looks at Alex now, a curious look on his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander looks at him plainly.
* Seraphna stares a little.
<Seraphna> "So there was a length of time between them dying and me dying."
<Seraphna> "Interesting..."
<DeathStar> <Alexander> I find it very interesting you just now learned about this.
<Chad`Winters> Autopsy reports can be faked. 6He slips his clip back in. 1"I'll need more ammo."
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander nods to Chad, tapping on his datapad.
<Seraphna> "It took a while for us to get the real reports."
* Seraphna looks at Chad now, eyes narrowing a little.
<Seraphna> "And the only other person who knew anything about it just remembered a little while ago."
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander pauses, glancing at Chad now, then at Angela
* Chad`Winters holsters Ebony. 1"I'll also need some explosives."
* Seraphna looks at Alexander. "Cran died before I ever learned I was Angela Bennet, and Spade was killed not too long thereafter, our time after that was a little too busy to go into details."
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Pleasant. 6* He adds that reqeust in.
<Seraphna> "Phaeton told me after the Ragnarok base was destroyed, but I didn't care about the details then either."
* Seraphna scratches her head.
<Chad`Winters> We'll need to find a place to draw them out to.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander looks at Chad, apparantly waiting for him to pick a place.
<Seraphna> "Then can be hindered with EMP, if that helps."
* Seraphna pulls out a blue bullet. "There were effective on the one slicing Chad up."
<Seraphna> *These
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander curiously notes the added on of 'slicing Chad up'.
<Chad`Winters> I need a map of Tokyo so I can plan this out right.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> You don't have one preloaded into your datapad?
<Seraphna> "I do."
* Seraphna grabs her datapad and starting bringing it up.
* Chad`Winters quirks his eyebrow at Alexander than moves through the drawers.
* Seraphna rubs the back of her head, thinking about all this. "Why replicate me..."
* Chad`Winters closes the last drawer. 1"I thought I blew it up...6He rolls over to the other side and grabs Angela's datapad from her and brings up the map, he begins looking it over.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander looks up as soldiers bring in clips and explosives.
* Chad`Winters glances at the clips than Alexander. 1"Uh, you even know my type." He sets the datapad down and points at some warehouse sections down by the docks. 1"This'll be good, minimize civilian casualties but also keep it dark.
* Seraphna looks over her gear, sighing a bit. "My bracers, the samaritan, and PAX... I blew up my Harmonica Cannon..."
<Chad`Winters> But it should also be complex enough to keep them from sending all 20 in at us at once. 6He nods to himself.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Assuming they don't opt to just bring the building down on you
<Seraphna> "He's got a point there."
<Chad`Winters> Already figured that in. It doesn't matter where we go in the city that they couldn't do that.
<Seraphna> "They'll need to confirm the kills to complete their objective too."
* Chad`Winters glances at Angela. 1"How do Beta's confirm their targets?"
<Seraphna> "Visual... though they have thermal. Probably how they saw us in the dark."
* Chad`Winters glances around then eyes a cold warehouse. 1"We'll draw them their if they start overwhelm us."
* Chad`Winters glances at Alexander. 1"I'm guessing we'll be doing this along again?"
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Did you want soldiers aiding you?
* Chad`Winters glances at Angela than at Alexander. 1"Probably would be wise."
<Seraphna> "We're currently outnumbered."
<Seraphna> "Largely."
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander taps his datapad.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> I'll have troops ready in 20 mins. 6* He steps out.
<Chad`Winters> I don't want them scaring them off so here's what I want. We'll go in first and when we confirm the Beta's are there, you're soldiers will me in these locations. 6He points at several spots, forming a circle around the cold storage.
* Xanatos` has joined #Ep10AngelLovesChad
* Xanatos has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DeathStar> 6* Chad lectures to himself.
* Chad`Winters sighs and pinches the bridge of his nose.
* Seraphna shakes her head and fixes her shirt a little. "Better to tell the troops directly."
* Chad`Winters grunts and stares down at the map, his eyes darting about.
<Seraphna> "Thank you."
* Seraphna fiddles with her HMD.
<Chad`Winters> For what? 6His eyes remain focused
<Seraphna> "You didn't have to come back for me, but you did, twice."
<Chad`Winters> I don't enjoy being in somebody's debt.
* Xanatos` has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Seraphna shrugs. "It... helps."
* Chad`Winters tilts his head and zooms in on the cargo crates, studying the pathways. 1"I had no choice in the matter."
* Seraphna nods a little.
<Chad`Winters> Just consider all debts repaid than. 6He leans down, studying under the areas.
<Seraphna> "You're not Id, I accepted that when I heard about it."
<Chad`Winters> You did what any person would do. 6He stands fully again.
<Seraphna> "Mmm... yeah."
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander moves in. "Follow me. The soldiers will be under your command." 6* He notes
* Seraphna nods and looks at Chad.
* Chad`Winters glances at Angela then looks at Alex nodding. He grabs the datapad and moves towards Alex
<DeathStar> 6* He turns and leads them down a hall through various medical rooms
* Seraphna walks with him, "You still need that?"
<Chad`Winters> I will. 6He glances in several of the medical rooms as he moves
* Xanatos has joined #Ep10AngelLovesChad
* Seraphna nods and presses a button on it's side and pulls out something, sticking it into her pocket. "Kay."
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander leads them outside where two shuttles await, with 15 soldiers.
* Chad`Winters eyes the 15 soldiers, he clicks his tongue.
* Seraphna pulls her hair back and looks them over quietly.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Don't like 15? 6* He asks idlely.
* Seraphna looks at Chad again, since he was tounge-clicking.
<Chad`Winters> No. 6He states simply and sets the datapad on the ground, letting the image float above it. He begins pointing at 7 locations, it circles the cold storage. 1"Here's the plan. Angela and I will go in first to bring the Beta's in. When we give the signal, you will move into these positions. 6 Teams of 2 and 1 Team of 3. You will than wait until we confirm 20 Beta's before you begin to move in and take them out from the rea
<DeathStar> 6* The soldiers take note.
<Chad`Winters> The first signal will be a a standard grenade explosion. The second will be two grenade explosions a second apart.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander eyes Chad for his melodramatic signals.
<Chad`Winters> You will hold radio silence until I break it.
<Chad`Winters> Any questions?
<DeathStar> 6* There appear to be none
<Chad`Winters> Than we're ready. 6He tosses the datapad to Angela.
* Seraphna catches it and puts it away.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Good luck.
* Chad`Winters grunts and moves onto a shuttle
* Seraphna follows after him.
<DeathStar> 6* 7 soldiers get onto the shuttle Chad picks. The other gets 6.
* Chad`Winters glances back and clicks his tongue. He lifts the shuttle up and heads off to the area he picked out
* Seraphna takes a seat on the shuttle and starts loading her Samaritan with a Blue and a Black bullet.
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttles take off.
* Chad`Winters glances at the controls as he flies, remaining quiet
* Seraphna also remains quiet, deep in thought.
<Chad`Winters> When this is all over Angela, I want you to stay out of Aya's and my life. 6He voices shifts to a neutral tone.
* Seraphna doesn't look up. "As if you had to say that."
<Chad`Winters> I did.
* Seraphna looks along the sight on her samaritan. "Just keep out of mine as well."
* Chad`Winters glances back at the soldiers. 1"You two switch spots." He points at two of them
<DeathStar> 6* They pause and comply.
* Seraphna looks up at them to see what OCD boy is flipping over.
<Chad`Winters> Better. 6He looks back ahead to fly
* Seraphna shrugs and looks back down, drawing PAX next and looking over the blade.
<DeathStar> 6* They arrive at the warehouse docks.
<Chad`Winters> We'll get off and you'll fly away landing about 14 blocks to the west of here.
<DeathStar> <Soldier> Yes, sir.
* Chad`Winters brings the shuttle down, hovering it over an open area. 1"You'll also comm back to your base that you've dropped us off here."
* Seraphna gets up and readies herself.
* Chad`Winters lowers the ramp and moves to it and then down it. Hopping off
* Seraphna follows after him.
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttles take off.
<Seraphna> "Lead the way Chad."
* Chad`Winters glances around than moves against a crate. 1"If you can get your datapad to pick up Beta's, now would be the time to set it up
* Seraphna pulls out her datapad and starts configuring it to pick up Beta signatures.
<DeathStar> 6* So far, no sign of them.
<Seraphna> "All clear so far."
<Chad`Winters> I figure we have about 5 minutes. 6He unholsters his guns.
* Seraphna pulls out her samaritan and readies it. "Sounds like a good guess."
<Chad`Winters> When a Beta locks onto it's target's signature, how far away will it be before it locks on to them?
<Seraphna> "I don't know on it's own, but I got a good hundred yards on my tests."
<Chad`Winters> Great. 6He doesn't seem happy about that. He glances around. 1"Alright, follow me." 6He starts moving to where all the crates are stacked three high
* Seraphna follows after him, keeping close.
<DeathStar> 6* 5 minutes pass by slowly.
* Chad`Winters kneels and leans against a crate, his eyes closed, his breathing seems to be light and rhythmic
<DeathStar> 6* Sera begins to get signature locks.
* Seraphna has chosen her own nearby hideaway, she signals to him when she gets the locks.
* Chad`Winters glances at Sera and looks around.
* Seraphna points in the general direction.
* Chad`Winters holds his guns out, but not in that direction.
* Seraphna keeps ready to move, gun at the ready.
<DeathStar> 6* The locks vanish
* Seraphna stares.
<Seraphna> "THey... vanished."
* Chad`Winters eyes her. 1"Move." 6He dashes down the row now.
* Seraphna moves after him.
<Chad`Winters> Come up with another way to locate them, I want a head count in about 15.
<DeathStar> 6* A Beta lands in front of Chad.
<DeathStar> 6* It fires a beam weapon at him.
* Seraphna fires a blue then a black bullet at it.
* Chad`Winters kicks to the side, slamming against a crate. He jerks his guns up firing at it.
<DeathStar> 6* The Beta uses Chad as a shield.
<DeathStar> 6* Well, location position wise.
<DeathStar> 6* Well, now he dodged.
* Seraphna reloads and backs up, tapping, using her HMD to program as she reads it's signature and changes the detection.
<DeathStar> 6* The Beta uses a shield to block it.
* Chad`Winters jerks his aim to the opposite crate and fires a charged shot against it, aiming to ricochet into it's side.
<DeathStar> 6* The Beta is hit.
* Seraphna fires a normal shot at it's head after it's hit.
* Chad`Winters jerks Ebony up and fires one at the ground, the his other gun at the same spot
<DeathStar> 6* The Beta blocks with it's shield for Sera, but is tagged by Chad again, since it can't stop them both
* Chad`Winters crosses his arms and fires two more shots, again ricochetting
<DeathStar> 6* The Beta blocks --- both!
* Seraphna keeps realigning the signature to track, firing again as it moves to block.
<DeathStar> 6* It's hit and slumps.
* Chad`Winters narrows his eyes and jerks both guns ahead, firing two charged shots for it's heat
<Chad`Winters> NRP: head
* Seraphna finishes her fix to the tracking while he does.
<DeathStar> 6* It's head explodes.
<DeathStar> <Solder on Comm> Sir. There's a problem.
<Seraphna> "Think I got--- goddamnit. What?"
* Chad`Winters glances around. 1"Not good. Make it quick."
<DeathStar> 6* 19 Beta Gears land all around them.
<DeathStar> <Soldier on Comm> That, sir.
<Seraphna> "Run."
* Chad`Winters slowly looks at Angela. 1"...That would've been nice to know."
<Seraphna> "I just got it working!"
<Chad`Winters> <C> Don't make any moves unless they fire upon you. 6He starts running along the crates.
* Seraphna runs with him.
<DeathStar> 6* The Betas fire 19 missiles at them. This, this they're fucked
<Seraphna> "Goddamnit!"
* Chad`Winters jerks his hand back and fires a charged Ebony shot at a missile, hoping to cause a chain reaction
<DeathStar> 6* One missile is destroyed. The others are spaced to prevent it. They begin to slam into the ground, causing massive explosives
* Seraphna keeps running.
* Chad`Winters tenses himself as he runs, getting ready to get thrown
<DeathStar> 6* The explosions lift them up and throw them. The pain knocks them out
* Seraphna cries out as she's thrown, blacking out.
<DeathStar> 6* When they come to, it's COD4 blurry screen style. Their fellow soldiers are firing at the Betas, and are being slaughtered.
* Chad`Winters groans as he tries to push himself up.
<DeathStar> 6* One Beta Gear punches a soldier into a wall.
* Seraphna shakes her head, seeing the soldiers losing, she pulls out two bullets, reloading.
* Chad`Winters taps his ear. 1"Call for a military back-up. I wasn't expecting gear forms."
* Seraphna coughs, "You've fought them before damnit..."
* Xanatos` has joined #Ep10AngelLovesChad
<DeathStar> <Alexander on Comm> I'll try to get the military to scramble Gears, but it might take too long.
* Xanatos has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Seraphna> "Central chest down a little to the right, and the heads, the real weak points."
<Chad`Winters> Not Beta's. 6He glances around then taps his ear again. 1"Cheryl, I need you in gear form fast. I've got 19 Beta Gears around Angela, I and about 9 other soldiers."
<DeathStar> 6* Before she responds, the Betas jam his comm
<Seraphna> "I've punched you with one before."
<Chad`Winters> Great...I was right about them adapting. 6He moves over and grabs Ebony.
<DeathStar> 6* The Betas make quick work of the remaining shuttles.
<DeathStar> *soldiers.
* Megumi has joined #Ep10AngelLovesChad
* Seraphna pulls out a second gun and charges it.
<DeathStar> 6* The 19 Beta Gears turn and aim at Chad and Angela.
<Chad`Winters> Where exactly is the weakest point? 6He glances over at Angela
<Seraphna> "Head, and just below the indentation on their chests."
* Seraphna eyes one as she speaks.
<DeathStar> 6* They fire 19 missiles at them.
<Seraphna> "Fuck."
* Chad`Winters jerks both guns up and begins firing shots at them as they come in. He backs up
* Seraphna fires shots as well, following his motions.
<DeathStar> 6* A beam weapon hits the missiles, blowing them up.
<DeathStar> 6* A tall Dragoon Gear stands there in the smoke.
<Seraphna> "GO CHERYL!"
* Chad`Winters let's out a sigh of relief. He holsters his modified gun and jerks up Ebony, charging it up. His eyes focusing on the spot Angela told him.
* Seraphna takes aim at another one with her Samaritan, lining up a shot with the oversized pistol.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lets Chii do the dodging and moving, as usual. And works on using her weapons.
* Chad`Winters pulls the trigger on Ebony, sending out a charged shot towards one of the Beta Gears
<Megumi> <Chii> So unfair. I'll be sure to have my fun if you get worn out again, hrmph!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl activates her energy whip. "Throw us into the mix."
* Seraphna sends out her EMP / Explosive bullet combo out at another Beta.
<DeathStar> 6* It hits, and it's clearly damaged, but being a tiny gun, it doesn't stop it
<Megumi> 6Chii grins, and focuses on moving forward, charging the one that was just EMP'd
<DeathStar> 6* Same thing for Sera. Parts of it go dead, but not enough
<Seraphna> "Snipe shots around Cheryl's attacks, we can't kill em, but we can make them easier for Cheryl."
<Chad`Winters> Interesting. 6He begins focusing on another weak point on the same gear and fires a charged shot at it
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl whips into it with a fierce wild like attack pattern, just striking it over and over with no real tactics but to beat it to hell. 17 other Beta Gears aim at her.
* Seraphna reloads, firing an EMP shot followed by a shrapnel based explosive.
* Megumi leaps up and way quickly, moving back and shifting facing in an arc, dashing back forward, but then jumping around in a left arc for the next target to avoid locks.
<Megumi> NRP: Chii. lala.
<DeathStar> 6* More Gears arrive, and begin to open fire.
<DeathStar> 6* The military is here to save the day!
<Megumi> <Chii> Better be quick, Cheryl, or you'll miss all your fun.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snarls and begins to fire beam attacks into one.
* Chad`Winters lowers his gun, he slumps to one knee, breathing heavy.
<DeathStar> 6* The battle is fierce, but 18 Betas are quickly overwhelmed and destroyed.
<Megumi> 6Chii cackles, swooping down low over it for Cheryl, then sliding diagonally toward a trail of others, largely in unpredictable zigzag patterns and having no issues with making openings for left or right-handed attacks.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stomps on one's head.
* Seraphna slumps against a crate, groaning. "Kay... I counted 18... then there was one before them..."
<DeathStar> 6* Even though it's dead.
<Seraphna> "You?"
<Megumi> 6Chii grins, letting Cheryl vent. She calls out below. 1"Hey, you guys alright?
<Chad`Winters> 19 Beta gears and the One we killed.
<Seraphna> "Alright... yeah we're okay."
* Chad`Winters taps his comm. He grunts in response.
<Seraphna> "...Are you sure there was 19?"
* Seraphna looks back over at the rubble.
<Seraphna> "I think we're missing one."
* Seraphna checks her tracking program.
<DeathStar> 6* A Beta pops up and slashes Chad across the back.
<DeathStar> 6* It appears it went back to human form.
<DeathStar> *Well, human size
* Seraphna raises her gun and fires at it as it rises above Chad.
<Megumi> 6Chii grunts and shifts, turns quickly, roundhouse stomping.
* Chad`Winters howls in pain as he rolls forward, blood splattering the ground
<DeathStar> 6* Being in Gear form, she'd stomp Chad, too
<Megumi> NRP: He fell forward!
<DeathStar> NRP: You got a BIG foot.
<DeathStar> NRP: But if you think Chad's an acceptable loss!
<Megumi> NRP: *cough*
<Megumi> 6Chii pauses, twitching. 1"You should diet, Cheryl>"
<Megumi> 6Chii balances, peering around the giant foot. 1"Son of a bitch."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets annoyed.
* Chad`Winters glances up at the giant foot above him.
<DeathStar> 6* The Beta blocks the shot.
<DeathStar> 6* It leaps at Chad again, staying in close range, knowing full well what Cheryl can do
<Megumi> <Chii> Move, Chad!" 6Snarls.
* Chad`Winters growls and jerks Ebony up. He aims the gun off the side and fires it, concentrating on bringing it around to hit it in the back
<DeathStar> 6* The Beta is hit
* Seraphna drops her gun, drawing PAX, she moves in from the side, slicing at a vital point at the Beta.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl knocks them back to human form.
<DeathStar> 6* IT blocks Angela
<DeathStar> 6* Lands, nude, and she dashes forward with her whip, swinging it out to wrap around it's shield arm.
* Seraphna grunts and presses her attack, keeping the Beta occupied.
<Megumi> 6Chii drops to her feet nearby, she reaches to check on her equipment, quickly yanking out both beam shortblades and dashing forward with Cheryl. 1"Hey, warn me before you do that!"
* Chad`Winters slowly stands up, blood trailing from his back to the ground, forming a puddle. 6He jerks Ebony up and fires it into the air, bringing the shot down on top of the beta's head
<DeathStar> 6* The Beta's head sparks
<DeathStar> 6* It grows into Gear form suddenly. Cheryl lands on her ass.
<DeathStar> 6* It begins to overload.
* Seraphna drags her blade up teh leg as it grows and leaps back with the momentum. "Oh fuck."
<Seraphna> "It's gonna BLOW."
* Chad`Winters quickly holsters Ebony and howls loudly as he runs towards Cheryl
* Seraphna runs that way as well.
<Megumi> 6Chii stares upward, then turns off a blade and clips it to her belt, grabbing one of Cheryl's arms and yanking her to her feet toward Chad, using the momentum to start moving herself.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands up. Since she's near the leg, having landed there, it's weird they'd run toward her
<DeathStar> 6* Er, she's yanked to her feet.
<Megumi> <Chii> God. Damn. Fucking. Things. That attack. You guys.
* Chad`Winters slides to a stop and starts running away now.
* Seraphna runs away, fast now.
<Seraphna> "You do that!"
<Chad`Winters> It's gonna overload!
<Megumi> 6Chii hauls ass hopefully with Cheryl.
* Chad`Winters makes his way for the ocean.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dock sides, ya know
* Seraphna having had a similar idea, is on her way to the water.
<DeathStar> 6* The Beta explodes, a deadly wave going outward
* Chad`Winters grimaces and sprints madly, leaping off the edge and into the way
<Chad`Winters> NRP: water!
* Seraphna dives into the water.
* Megumi follows the other two seeming they know what they're doing. She dives gracefully amongst death.
<Megumi> NRP: Chii. Bah.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is ungracefully dragged into the water.
<DeathStar> 6* The explosive wave misses them in the water, but does lots of damage to Gears and buildings
<Megumi> 6Chii surfaces, gasping.
* Chad`Winters surfaces and begins treading water.
* Seraphna waits till the shudder of the explosion has passed, waits a moment, and then comes up for air.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl surfaces, pissed off.
* Chad`Winters glances over at Cheryl. 1"Thanks."
* Seraphna starts making her way out of the water, grumbling.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You fucking owe me.
* Seraphna wrings out her hair.
* Chad`Winters sighs, the area around him starting to turn red. 1"I hope your pilot brought clothes along."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> If I fucking had time to focus, I wouldn't be fucking nude
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pulls herself out.
<Megumi> <Chii> Well, not clothes exactly. Why would I do that when she hasn't wanted to bond with me lately?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chad. Then looks concerned.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You okay?
<Megumi> 6Chii makes for the dock and begins climbing out. 1"She really wanted to save you. Heh!"
* Chad`Winters looks over at Chii. 1"Can you blame her?" 6He swims slowly over to the ladder and begins to climb out. 1"No, I took a blade to my back.
<Megumi> <Chii> Blame her for wanting to save you? Yeah, I could think of one or two.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fuck. 6* She rips Chii's clothing and begins to bandage Chad's back.
<Megumi> 6Chii reaches back and pulls out bandages from her satchel, staring at Cheryl's action. She sighs.
* Seraphna opens her pouch, pulling out nanites, she hands Chad a few pills. "Here."
* Chad`Winters grimaces as Cheryl begins to apply preasure, his hands tensing up.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl ripped the clothing at her breast area, too
* Chad`Winters just shakes his head at Sera, his face wincing again. 1"Some pressure points would be nice..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Like I know them.
* Megumi is thankful she wore a bra at least. She creeps up on Cheryl and winds bandage around her chest and up her legs once, tying it rudimentarily. Like a joke bikini.
<Megumi> <Chii> Hrmph.
<Seraphna> "I had an emergency patch..."
<Chad`Winters> Than I think I'm gonna pass out. 6His face goes pale and he slumps forward, landing on the ground.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *sneers* Won't, don't want to see my breasts and naughty parts?
<DeathStar> 6* She eyes Chad.
<DeathStar> *what
* Seraphna shakes her head and moves over, giving him some proper emergency care.
<Megumi> <Chii> Eh, I don't care. Give me the bandage back if you don't want it. Then next time you don't need to use my top.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Location: Military Hospital Facility
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander eyes Chad, then the chart. "I thought you were more effective."
<Chad`Winters> I wasn't expecting them to go into gear form.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Angela failed to mention that?
* Seraphna sits on the other bed, her equipment off to the side. "He should have known."
<Seraphna> "Betas or not, they are Dragoons, they have one uniform quality about them."
<DeathStar> 6* Reaching into his pocket, he presents two checks. And hands one each. For whatever reason, he agreed to let Chii come in and stare at Chad
* Seraphna takes her check and pockets it.
* Chad`Winters grabs the check, eyeing it.
<DeathStar> 6* 15,000.
<DeathStar> 6* Plus an extra 5,000 for hazard pay.
* Chad`Winters eyes it and reaches over, pulling his shirt on.

<Megumi> <Chii> So... You guys chose to work for this guy?
<Seraphna> "We needed the money."
<Megumi> 6Chii eyes Alexander, getting her first good look and study of him, both physically, conversationally and whatever aura about him.
<Chad`Winters> Wasn't about the money.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander peers at Chii. His aura is chaotic neutral.
* Seraphna hmphs at CHad spoiling a good excuse.
<Megumi> <Chii> Then why? I thought you despised him, Chad.
<Chad`Winters> I have my reasons.
<Megumi> 6Chii makes a 'dur' motion. There's always reasons.
<Seraphna> "I'm going home, I have some reading to do."
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Thank you both for your assistance.
<Seraphna> "You're welcome Alexander."
* Seraphna sounds dead neutral.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander steps out himself.
<Chad`Winters> Whatever. 6He grimaces slightly as he gets off the bed. He moves over and puts his holsters on.
* Seraphna grabs her equipment and heads home.
<Chad`Winters> Tell Cheryl, I'll give her a cut out of this.
<Megumi> Huh. He's kind of. Creppy for a human
<Megumi> 6Chii peers toward Chad. 1"I doubt she'll want it."
<Chad`Winters> And you're bonded with her? 6He stares at her now.
<Megumi> <Chii> I wonder how her salary compares, anyway.
<Megumi> 6Chii gives a thumbs up to Chad. 1"Sure, we're bonded. I'm sure she'd take it if you gave it to her in pure rocket fuel."
<Chad`Winters> Right, give an alcoholic liqour.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander peers at Angela as she moves to exit. He hands her a card. "By the way. If you ever need to get in touch with me, this is my number."
* Chad`Winters adjusts his holsters and looks at Chii now
<Megumi> 6Chii shrugs. 1"Hey, I'm just saying. I'm trying to get her to stop myself."
* Seraphna blinks a bit, taking it, she looks at him for a moment in curiosity as she slips it into her pocket. "Sure."
<Chad`Winters> It's how she deals.
<Megumi> <Chii> You're contradicting yourself.
<Chad`Winters> Hardly.
<Megumi> 6Chii waves her hands at Chad. 1"Hey, you two ever spar?"
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander moves out of the facility and gets in his fancy limo.
* Seraphna steps out and starts walking.
<Chad`Winters> Only when she tried killing me.
<Megumi> <Chii> You win sometimes, right?
* Chad`Winters just stares at Chii.
<Megumi> <Chii> Does she ever seem... bothered by it?
<Chad`Winters> Well I am alive.
<DeathStar> 6* Angela arrives to a still empty house. Seems like ERevis has not returned
<Megumi> <Chii> Let's say hypothetically I 'won' without using any of my equipment or weird stuff, right. Uh, think her pride would sting or something?
* Seraphna sighs and tosses her stuff on her computer chair, checking her messages.
<Chad`Winters> Yes.
<Chad`Winters> Or No. It depends on the situation
<Megumi> 6Chii rubs her temples. 1"What do you mean?"
* Seraphna dials Darien, checking in.
<Chad`Winters> It depends on the situation. It's very possible you hurt her pride if you beat her.
<Megumi> <Chii> ...Damn. I didn't really want that.
<Chad`Winters> Than you shouldn't have sparred with her seriously.
<Megumi> <Chii> Wouldn't it piss her off if I didn't?
<Chad`Winters> It'd be training than.
<Megumi> <Chii> She wanted me to go all out before...
<Chad`Winters> Without seeing the fight, I can't tell you for sure if she is or why she is. Sorry
<Megumi> <Chii> Yeah... Sorry to bother.
<Megumi> 6Chii rubs her cheek, then turns to go.
* Chad`Winters grunts and takes a breath as he starts to move out, rather stiffly

<DeathStar> Welcome to the hit new show, Darien Rocks.
<Chad`Winters> Where only we are in.
<Xanatos> Is there singing?
<DeathStar> Yes.
<Xanatos> Awesome.

<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-588.7.12
<DeathStar> Location: Darien's House
<DeathStar> 6* This morning, Megumi is spared a bell awakening
* Megumi sits up and rubs her eyes before yawning, still sleeping on the floor.
<DeathStar> 6* The bed looks soft, too
* Megumi shakes her head to ease up her bearings and brings herself to her feet, exiting the room and quietly shutting the door afterward, moving down the hallway.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sits at the table, glancing at his datapad. He appears to be talking to someone not there. "Are you sure?"
* Megumi pauses at th ened of the hall briefly, rubbing one of her ears in curiousity.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leans back. "I see. Nearly 24 hours." 6* A pause. "Thank you." 6* He clicks the datapad and pulls a comm link out of his ear.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien reaches over and picks up his coffee cup, sipping the contents.
* Megumi moves to enter, heading for a seat at the table as quietly as ever, though some of her posture has changed since the other day.
<DeathStar> 6* Glancing up at Megumi, Darien tenses slightly. "Help yourself." 6* He motions at the muffins on the table.
<Megumi> Thank you, Darien.
* Megumi peers toward them, examining, probably, for the one containing the most fruit or something.
<DeathStar> 6* Nodding, Darien stands up, scooping up his datapad and moving for the office room.
<Megumi> Was it something important?
<DeathStar> <Darien> What?
<DeathStar> 6* He glances back at her.
<Megumi> I don't mean to be rude," 6She adds in, 1"But I can't help but overhear some things with these long ears of mine.
* Megumi peers toward him, nibbling demurely. 1"Some things with timeframes are important."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Ah. I wouldn't worry about that. 6* He says, clearly hiding something.
<DeathStar> 6* He turns and moves to step into his office since Megumi has tuned out
<Megumi> Easier said than done.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses, glancing back.
* Megumi finishes eating the muffin and heads for the front door. 1"I don't have practice in minding my own business."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hm. Neither do I.
<Megumi> If it's easier on you, I won't pry. After all, I'm not sure you'd want my help anyway, even if I am freeloading.
<DeathStar> <Darien> There's nothing to help with. Or for me to do.
<DeathStar> 6* That much, at least, sounds honest on his part
<Megumi> 6Megumi peers back, agape. 1"Nothing, for the great Starr to do?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stares at her, then shakes his head into the office, shouting back. "If you're so curious, Megumi, Erevis left the planet 24 hours ago." 6* He slams the door shut.
<Megumi> I'm not surprised, if she's nowhere to be expectedly found on this planet.
<DeathStar> 6* Doubtful he heard.
* Megumi walks over and obnoxiously knocks on the door. 1"Oiii, I'll be practicing outside. Don't blame me if the fountains get knocked ajar or something."
<DeathStar> 6* The door opens and Darien stares at her silently, clearly annyoed.
* Megumi puts her hands on her hips and leans forward, peering up at him, grinning. 1"What? You don't want me to play outside?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Do whatever the hell you want.
* Megumi feigns a hurt look. 1"That's so mean, Darien... Harsh words for a little girl."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien turns and grabs a few supplies, shoving them into a backpack he had on the desk. "Little girl my ass."
* Megumi covers her mouth. 1"Ah! Bad language. Hrmph. What if I were kidnapped?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> I would dance a happy dance.
<Megumi> Hee, you're starting to remind me a bit of the Starr I knew.
* Megumi cranes inward slightly. 1"So where're you going, huh?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Away from here.
<DeathStar> 6* He zips the backpack up.
<Megumi> Tell me!
<DeathStar> <Darien> If I told you, that would defeat the purpose of me going. To get away from you.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien throws it over his shoulder.
* Megumi leans back and puffs her cheeks. 1"I'll tell momma Ariel you're being mean to me for no reason."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yes. Add another worry to her already full list.
<Megumi> She's strong.
* Megumi stands up straight and eyes Darien calmly. 1"Where are you going?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Megumi with a look that is very, very cold. "Ariel may be strong, but she has fracture points. And while you may not see it, it won't take a lot to break her."
* Megumi reaches up and plays with the end of a lock of hair. 1"I know well enough, but she has you."
<Megumi> That's why even if you're mean to me I have to be nice to you.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah. Nice to me. 6* His voice sounds acidic at that.
* Megumi smiles softly. 1"Meaning I have to babysit you if you're not going to tell me when you'll be coming home."
<DeathStar> <Darien> No, Megumi. 6* He holds up his hand. "I'm laying it straight right here. You stay out of my way, and I'll stay out of yours. You go do your training thing, your little asylum shit, and I'm going to do my investigation work. And we'll both be happier for it. When Ariel comes home, we both put on smiles."
* Xanatos` has joined #Ep10DarienRocks
* Xanatos has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Megumi> It's not like 'training' would serve me any point right now. I lack both the emerald weapon and the concentration necessary to progress any further right now. Not with Erevis offplanet. As for the 'asylum.' I'm done with that.
* Megumi leans forward and gestures with a finger. 1"You wanted an answer, right? I'll only be here as long as Erevis remains offworld. Will that do?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien rolls his eyes. "Whatever."
* Megumi leans back, donning a skeptical look. 1"Do you hate me that much, Darien?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> You antagonize me, you insult me - everything you do is confrontional, and if not that, childish and annoying. You provoke and prod and guess what? I'm not the type of person who puts up with it. I don't know if you notice, Zhenmei, but I prefer to just fucking avoid you
<Megumi> You've done so all along, which makes it very hard to do anything else, Starr.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps around her into the room, closing the door.
* Megumi crosses her arms, closing her eyes. 1"Frankly, I thought it might make Ariel happier if we got along, instead of casting glances at the table. She's not so dumb that we can 'put on smiles' around her and hope she doesn't catch the merry tune we're playing around it.
<DeathStar> <Darien> We'll never get along.
* Xanatos` has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Megumi> We did in the past.
<Megumi> I refuse to believe you're as dense as Chad Winters.
<DeathStar> <Darien> See? That's why.
<Megumi> Because you'll overanalyze everything I say?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Because you're bitchy about how you say everthing.
<Megumi> I used to say nothing.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Alas.
* Megumi turns away from the door, grumbling. 1"Ariel didn't like how much I talked either."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves for the front door. No witty remark to the last comment
<Megumi> I'm sorry, Darien. I'll smile for you this evening, as you wish.
* Megumi uncrosses her arms, rubbing her forehead. 1"I won't be faking it, though."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances over his shoulder, coming to a stop. "Sorry?"
<Megumi> There's no reason for me to act like I'm happy when I'm really happy.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hm. And why are you really happy?
* Xanatos has joined #Ep10DarienRocks
<Megumi> There's people who care for me here. And even if Ariel is close to breaking, you'll hold her together.
* Megumi rubs one foot behind the other. 1"I'll do my part, but you already have each other."
<DeathStar> <Darien> ...
<Megumi> Take care, Darien. I'll... watch the house, I guess.
* Megumi gazes around the otherwise empty place, feeling lonely already.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Fine. Come on.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien opens the front door.
* Megumi blinks a few times. 1"Eh?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> I said come on. If you want to tag along.
* Megumi goes to point at herself, then decides hurrying along is best rather than second guessing and pissing him off.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves over and gets in his car, making a face at himself in the mirror.
* Megumi skips around and enters the passenger side, giggling.
<DeathStar> 6* Powering up the vehicle, Darien pulls out. He taps his datapad and hooks his comm to it. When a voice answers, he speaks up. "Yes. Can you tell me if you have seen any shuttles with this particular ID signal?" 6* He hits a button. The voice tells him to hold on
* Megumi peers toward Darien, remaining quiet.
<DeathStar> <Voice> Sorry. No sign of that ID. 6* Darien thanks them and clicks off. He repeats this a half dozen times.
<Megumi> Are you...?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Am I what?
<Megumi> Searching for a certain someone?
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm looking for Xanatos' shuttle.
* Megumi nods slowly. 1"Sorry to interrupt."
<DeathStar> <Darien> You didn't. I'm not finding anything.
<Megumi> Where are you searching?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Xanatos' shuttle type doesn't have bathrooms, so I figured at a 24 hour juncture, he'd stop at a place for such things. No go.
<Megumi> You know the ID, don't you?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yes.
<Megumi> Knowing the shuttle make and size, can you narrow down those making jumps?
<DeathStar> <Darien> That's what I've been trying, but I think it's a waste of time. I don't think they left for pleasure.
<DeathStar> <Darien> So they're probaly on some off beaten route.
<Megumi> Knowing those two, they'd always take the most direct path... I'd look for only ones specifically heading in strange directions, but you probably... already thought of that.
<DeathStar> <Darien> It is like a needle in a haystick. 6* He confesses.
* Megumi nods slowly again, a bit disheartened.
<DeathStar> 6* Pulling up into the shuttle garage that Xanatos used, Darien stops. "I'm going to see if they have tracers on the shuttle. I didn't realize that Xanatos had purchased one until after they had left. I wasn't paying attention to his bank accounts, since he's been spending and transferring like mad since selling the estate back to Erevis.
* Megumi perks slightly. 1"Oh!"
<DeathStar> 6* Getting out, Darien moves to talk with the owner of the garage.
* Megumi follows Darien, tagging behind and quiet.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien talks with the owner. Apparantly if the owner did do a tracer, it's illegal, and Darien's attempting to bribe him. Moving in and out of the garage are tons of people.
* Megumi gazes amongst the people, then moves closer to Darien and the owner.
<DeathStar> 6* Moving out of a shuttle, one man in particular, looking to be in his twenties, walks along. His gaze turns slowly toward Megumi, pausing and focusing on her intentlky.
* Megumi tilts her head slightly, peering toward the man, taking a moment to figure out why he is focused on her.
<DeathStar> 6* He's not human. In fact, judging by his appearance, Megumi might could tell me's from Famfrit.
* Megumi widens her eyes slightly and leans back, tugging on Darien's shirt.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at her, fighting back annoyance and developing this amicable relationship. "What?"
<Megumi> Th-That man. Famfrit...
* Megumi shrinks back behind Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* The man eyes them, and moves on, stepping out of the building. Darien pauses. "You sure?"
<Megumi> Not one hundred precent positive it is the same one I... encountered, but our appearances are very distinct and unique, would you not agree?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah. I guess so. But, if it's just your typical, run of the mill Famfrit...
<Megumi> I would not say it's impossible, in fact, it would make me happy to know they have recovered as such, but I find it hard to believe any other would have business on Earth of all places... Be careful.
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... 6* He pulls out his gun from his backpack and moves after the Famfrit.
* Megumi bows quickly to the garage owner, and scrambles to remain at Darien's side.
<DeathStar> 6* The Famfritian moves into a crowd of people on the sidewalks.
<DeathStar> 6* Pausing, Darien puts the gun down into his pants, lifting his shirt to cover it. He follows along.
* Megumi moves before Darien, continuing the chase without missing a beat.
<DeathStar> 6* The man moves along, stepping in between two buildings into an alley.
* Megumi pursues quickly, darting into the alley in a low stride.
<DeathStar> 6* The alley is ... empty!
<DeathStar> 6* Darien reaches the alley, peering in.
* Megumi gazes upward, frowning.
<DeathStar> 6* A crystal armored figure stands there. A wave of crystals fly down at Megumi's head.
* Megumi cries out and rolls forward along the ground to evade them.
<DeathStar> 6* The figure tosses a crystal ball down at Megumi as she rolls. Darien whips out his gun, taking aim.
* Megumi sweeps her leg around to spin, peering at the ball, she leaps backward, not knowing what the hell it is.
<DeathStar> 6* IT explodes, sending thousands of tiny crystal shards in all directions
<Megumi> Darien!
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses, jerking his arm up as he's pegged by hundreds of cuts.
* Megumi holds her hand forward and creates a small pulse to shield herself as best she can, wincing in effort to keep an eye on the adversary.
<DeathStar> 6* The adversary leaps down behind her, kicking out at her back.
* Megumi grunts and stumbles forward, spinning around again. 1"...You ag-gain.."
<DeathStar> 6* He pulls out a gun, a human weapon, and fires bullets at Megumi. "I will hunt you to hell itself."
* Megumi scrambles to the left, using even her hands to drag herself into a quick spring, kicking off the alley wall and turn, both of her hands backwards, forming a crystal weapon in the process, slicing diagonally with one of two daggers connected soon by a crystal chain.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien fires at the crystal armor, but it seems ineffective.
<DeathStar> 6* The man throws a ball at Megumi, then rolls one toward her.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pulls out his energy sword, activating it.
* Megumi quickly thrusts both hands forward, quickly grabbing the chain at the center, stabbing both spheres as she uses her free hand to defensively create another pulse counting on both to explode like before.
<DeathStar> 6* And they do.
* Megumi tries to wave the shards away and back toward their user, yanking the chain back and around to attack with them at a mid-range before she lands.
<DeathStar> 6* Her attacker leaps up onto a fire escape, taking some reflective damage from his own weapon. He leaps up onto the roof.
* Megumi yanks her weapon back, grabbing one dagger, swinging the other around and kicking it with her foot straight up for the famfrit at its maximum length.
<Megumi> Halt!
<DeathStar> 6* The attacker dodges and vanishes from sight on the roof.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pulls out a datapad, hitting buttons.
* Megumi grins her teeth and leaps up, swinging the chain over the back of her neck and over both shoulders, using both hands and feet to scramble up the lader and lattices in an inhuman manner.
* Xanatos` has joined #Ep10DarienRocks
* Xanatos has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DeathStar> 6* When she reaches the roof, her attacker is already 4 buildings away.
* Megumi brings her hands to her side and snarls rather loudly and vicious for someone her side, turning to slink back down to Darien. 1"...My body. I cannot catch him if it becomes a chase.."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I need a minute to get my shuttle here.
<Megumi> He will be gone. ...Whereas my manifest has become strong and savage, in some ways to my advantage, he does not have my inherent weaknesses...
<DeathStar> <Darien> I doubt I can keep up with him.
* Megumi nods. 1"I know... As much as it ails me, I have failed."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien frowns and calls off the shuttle.
* Megumi presses her hand to her forehead, wincing. 1"Everyone will be in danger because of me again."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Don't talk like that.
* Megumi glances up at Darien slightly. 1"He said he will target anyone related to me."
<DeathStar> <Darien> We're big boys and girls.
* Megumi frowns, a bit proudly. 1"Ariel would take responsibility for her past, so should I..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I have no problem with you taking responsibility. Just don't go emotional about it. We've all fucked up at one time or another.
* Megumi pauses long, then nods slowly. 1"...Right."
* Megumi smiles weakly. 1"Some more than others, is all."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, now we know he's alive, and on Earth. So that's actually an advantage. He can't take us by surprise as easily.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes his bleeding arm.
<Megumi> 6Megumi grabs Darien's arm, staring at it intently.
<DeathStar> 6* He appears to have tiny crystal shards all in it. PRobably too many to successfully get out
<Megumi> 6Megumi frowns, then holds out her hand, forcusing entirely on the crystal. She can't manipulate it outright until she finds a resonance for its unique structure, but she works quickly on it. 1"...Sorry to get you mixed up in my problems, Darien."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Eh. I'd rather him think I'm your acquaintance than someone else.
<Megumi> Huh...?
<DeathStar> <Darien> I can handle myself.
<Megumi> W-We should go back to your investigation now. It is doubtful he would strike twice the same.
<DeathStar> <Darien> The owner didn't have a tracer. IT was a dead end anyway.
<Megumi> Unfortunate... All for naught.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes his datapad. "Hm. Actually, maybe not. I picked up Xan's ID signal briefly."
* Megumi jerks her hand back, bringing all the shards with it, she forms them into a single smooth marble. 1"R-Really!?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yes. But then it blinked out.
<Megumi> We at least have a place to look, though?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Not really.
* Megumi hangs her head.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien works on his datapad silently.
<DeathStar> <Darien> There's reports a shuttle entered Earth's atmosphere at unsafe speeds and crashed.
* Megumi winces slightly. 1"Certainly seems like our kind of history."
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... it was probably XAn's shuttle. 6* His tone is grim. He looks up at Megumi.
<Megumi> They'll... be okay." 6Still holding Darien's arm, licks across some of the heavier wounds.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien's eyes widen. "Did you just lick me?"
* Megumi doesn't seem to pay attention, as if pondering the taste of blood, then continues a few times. It's not unlike a tiger licking its wounds. 'Cept. Not her's.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien makes a creeped out face.
* Megumi leans back after they seem to stop bleeding. 1"How long before we can locate ..." 6She licks some off her hands. 1"...It?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, I imagine they have emergency crews going out there.

<Megumi> Can we go? Erevis is... there, right?
<DeathStar> <Darien> You sure? If she is alive, she might not be ready to see you
<Megumi> ..That's something I must persevere. I made my word to you, did I not? She is back onworld.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, if it falls apart, you can still stay.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien goes to get his datapad to get his shuttle.
* Megumi follows afterward, her voice bowed in tone. 1"...I appreciate that, Darien."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien clicks a few buttons.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You were right about me, though, Megumi. I plan to change the future.
<Megumi> That's alright. So do I. It's what we do with the future that matters.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leans on the wall of the alley, waiting for the shuttle.
<Megumi> 6Megumi moves and leans against the opposite wall, musing to herself.
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle arrives and Darien boards it.
* Megumi moves after him, quiet.
<DeathStar> 6* Getting into the pilot seat, Darien clicks some switches and flies them off.
* Megumi chooses to take a seat besides the copilot, figuring he doesn't need one.

* #Ep10XanLovesBeer is being logged
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-588.7.12
<DeathStar> Location: Xan's Shuttle
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle zooms through hyperspace. Erevis lays, precariously, on her side, her eyes closed. Though, judging by her breathing pattern, she's not asleep.
* Xanatos sits at the controls, stealing occasional glances at Erevis, finally once he realizes he can't actually right now, he stands and moves over to sit slightly above her head, he lets a hand fall gently to her hair and brushes some of it back. "Is your back still giving you trouble?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am able to cope with the pain. 6* Her right hand is swollen and bandaged as well.
<Xanatos> I could give you some medicate you make it better, it may even put you to sleep.
<Xanatos> NRP: Medication.
* Chad`Winters has joined #Ep10XanLovesBeer
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is unnecessary.
* Xanatos makes a sound as if that means ok, placing some of the hair behind her ear and he tries to comfort her for her wound. "Just be strong like you are. We'll have Warren use his new doctor to fix you up."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods slowly. 
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I would...not object.
* Xanatos nods his head with a frown, he apparently doesn't like seeing her this way, go figure. "I feel kinda lame, wish I could heal you up like Ariel."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then I would wonder about your origin.
<Xanatos> Fair enough. *he smiles, and moves to grab her a blanket, he steps back over and reaches it out. "Here, this will make a nice pillow."
<DeathStar> 6* Nodding, Erevis takes the blanket, wincing slightly as she shifts it to lay under her head. "Thank you."
* Xanatos sits down in front of her and slides a bit to the side, resting his back against the chair above her head. "Would you like some food, or something to drink, or are you cold?" He asks aloud after a moment, "Anything I can do to make you more relaxed, please let me know."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am fine.
* Xanatos shifts his head to look at her, almost staring into her eyes, more like her forehead though. "Okay..." He tilts his head and stands up, moving back to check the controls, see if there is anything for him to do.
<DeathStar> 6* The controls ignore Xan.
* Xanatos just sighs, useless as usual, he gets back up and turns to face Erevis, pacing slightly, since he can't do anything for her, either.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are wasting energy. 6* She notes after a while of putting up with this behavior
<Xanatos> Well it all keeps building up and there's nothing I can do, i'm going insane...do you need me to redress your wounds, maybe the blood has been flowing more than I thought.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> i would be unconscious by now if that were the case.
* Xanatos sighs and moves back to the spot by her. "You know i've always stunk at this being patient part, right?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I recall.
* Xanatos just frowns, trying his best to sit still and not fidget.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes him.
* Xanatos seems about to explode, then begins to tap his foot. A frown on his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances toward the foot.
* Xanatos seems to be fine as long as the foot is tapping.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis closes her eyes, resigned to the tapping.
* Xanatos stops finally and glances at her, he sit up and drops his arms to start brushing her hair slowly, while he hums that song his mother always did for him.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis relaxes slightly, recalling the tune.
* Xanatos lets a smile creep onto his face as he sees her relax, finally he figured out what he could do, he continues the movements and the humming, resting his head back to close his own eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* A warning light blinks on the console.
* Xanatos has his eyes closed, so he is oblivious, now if the light had a noise, that's another thing.
<DeathStar> 6* The GM laughs at you
* Xanatos is never going to see it without a noise!
<DeathStar> 6* MWahahaha
* Xanatos finally opens his eyes to glance down at Erevis, to see if he's lulled her asleep, but the warning light catches his eye, yay for that. He gets up quietly and slips over, checking things out.
<DeathStar> 6* There appears to be a slightly odd vibration to the hyperspace engines
* Xanatos makes a confused look and frowns, he runs his hands over the controls, trying to get the scannors to pick up the problem.
<DeathStar> 6* Scanners appear offline.
* Xanatos makes a face and checks the time left to get to earth, since he'll have to drop out of hyperspace.
<DeathStar> 6* They still have some time left before they can drop out.
* Xanatos makes another face, if the engines are loose and they blow, who knows where they'll end up. It's a shame he can't stop at a hyperspace repair shop.
* Xanatos tries to run a check on the system to figure out why his sensors are down, then.
<DeathStar> 6* The system scan begins. It will take a few moments.
* Xanatos sighs, placing a hand on each of his knees as he sits there, damn he's impatient.
<DeathStar> 6* The GM could speed up action!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Is there...a problem?
<Xanatos> Hyperspace Engines are acting odd and my scanners are down, trying to figure out what is going on. I didn't think we took any hits.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits up slowly.
<Xanatos> Just rest, I have a system scan checking on the sensors.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She remains sitting up, despite his words.
<DeathStar> 6* The scan reveals that some anamolies in the engine compartments. Damage from inside.
<Xanatos> Damage from the inside? *he says alound, sounding confused* We...got a bug?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Your ship has bugs? 6* She tilts her head.
<Xanatos> I don't know, maybe...I...you don't think it was sabotaged before we even left that planet, do you?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is possible.
* Xanatos frowns. "Knew I should've invested in a cloaking device."
* Xanatos tries to see if it is something he can get to, too fix.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I was not aware you were that rich
<DeathStar> 6* He could head to the engine compartment, but it's cramped.
<Xanatos> I'm not, I was just going to steal it. Let me go check out the engine compartment. *he stands and turns around, moving towards it, despite the small space.
<DeathStar> 6* The tight area is cramped. And hot. Very hot, since the engine is running
* Xanatos is used tot his, he tries to think thin, not wanting to touch the engine since it is running, but wanting to find the mess so he can fix it and stop worrying.
<DeathStar> 6* As he moves along, he wound find lots of holes, with sparking energy coming out of them.
* Xanatos widens his eyes and makes a face, he goes for his gun, but, well that wouldn't be smart, he slides out his knife if he can actually manage in this space, he moves closer, looking for what he thinks is back here.
<DeathStar> 6* As he reaches the back of it, he finds...
<DeathStar> 6* Nothing
<Xanatos> ... *he looks shifts and attempts to turn his head to he can slide back to the exit, at least so he can inform erevis and get to work fixing this.
<DeathStar> 6* As he does this, further down, a Darkling drives it's tendril into a part of the engine, causing it to make a weird pitch sound that begins increasing. It skitters off.
<DeathStar> 6* The engine ebgins to spark, blocking the way back
<Xanatos> ...how the fuck...*he eyes the sparks, then glances at the engine, he looks around for some type of escape*
<DeathStar> 6* There is none. The Darkling played him good.
* Xanatos just groans. "Erevis!" He calls out, trying to make it louder than the engine.
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle begins to vibrate.
<Xanatos> Oh fuck, oh fuck. *he steps back slightly and then glances around, looking for the a part of the engine that will shut it down if he jams it.
<DeathStar> 6* While in hyperspace? Bad idea.
* Xanatos is just looking through his options, stuck by, spark wall? Hot engine all around him?
<DeathStar> 6* Xanatos is in a narrow space where to his back is a wall, to his left is the wall, and all to his right is the engine, which is sparking
<Xanatos> .....Well, this sucks. Sit here, or rush through and get burnt up? *he seems to muse with himself*
<DeathStar> 6* The engine suddenly makes a croaking sound as it powers down
* Xanatos skids back against the wall and moves to make a rush through the sparks when it powers down and he pauses. "...uh oh."
* Xanatos moves to try and get back to the cabin of the shuttle, to see what happened, other than bad things.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is at the controls. She looks back at him.
<Xanatos> Well there was a darkling, and it tricked me....should I say, is a darkling.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. That would explain why the engine was about to overload.
* Xanatos` has joined #Ep10XanLovesBeer
* Xanatos has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. That would explain why the engine was about to overload.
<Xanatos`> What did you do?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I forced a shut down. However, we now have no control of the shuttle.
<Xanatos`> Whoa whoa. You forced a shut...so we have to get this thing working soon or we could completely bypass earth?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That will not be a problem.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We are more likely to crash into the planet.
<Xanatos`> .....Well that would be just another thing that can make fun of me for. *he shakes his head and turns* I wish I had Angela here for these repairs.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits down slowly, wincing.
* Xanatos` begins to rummage through his lockers for the proper things to reapair this beast.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches him
* Xanatos` has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Xanatos has joined #Ep10XanLovesBeer
* Xanatos gathers up the things he'll think he need and glances at Erevis. "Wish me luck, right?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Good luck.
* Xanatos smiles and then pauses. "You didn't see the darkling did you?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No. It has not come out here.
<Xanatos> Do you think your mind could overpower a darkling this far away from its home?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
<Xanatos> If you could locate it, I need to kill it before it does more damage.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I cannot sense it's mind, unfortunately.
* Xanatos frowns. "Do you know of anything that the Dark Ones are unable to resist?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What do you mean?
<Xanatos> Back there it is small, the perfect size to hinder me and allowe the little thing to skitter around and take potshots at me. If I knew something they were addicted too that would pull him out of there, I would feel better.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. They are only addicted to our immediate deaths.
<Xanatos> Well could you pretend your dying? I'll stomp it when it comes out.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She tilts her head.
<Xanatos> Fine. *He sets the tools aside and picks up his knife, moving back into the engine compartment.
* Xanatos creeps in, glancing about he looks for places where it could be, which is probably many locations.
<DeathStar> 6* So far, no sign of the little bugger. The engine remains dead.
* Xanatos glances at the time and frowns, he slides back out and comes back to Erevis, lifting up the supplies. "If you could come and stand in the doorway to watch my back, I would appreciate it. But if it'll cause you pain, i'll manage." He takes the stuff back to the engine, he has a bit of rewiring and other bits to do.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods and rises slowly, moving into the passage way.
* Megumi has joined #Ep10XanLovesBeer
* Xanatos works on rewiring the parts that were sparking earlier, using a type of adhesives to wrap around and insulate the wires. Apparently it's able to withstand the high heats of the engine.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis leans against the doorframe, remaining silent about any pain she may feel
* Xanatos works quick, but he seems to have enough skill for things like this. "Can you feel the Darkling now?" He asks while he works, both hands working of getting the wires together.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I do not believe it is in here.
<Xanatos> Where else is it?
<Xanatos> NRP: Where else could it be?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know. Any location on the shuttle. I confess...I am weak..
<DeathStar> <Erevis> My mind probes are not effective.
<Xanatos> No, it's fine. Don't push yourself, if he's not in here, then I can seal this place up and hopefully it will keep him out.
* Xanatos uses some bonding to place metal plates over the wholes and then shifts around to work on the last hole the darkling made.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly the shuttle shakes and the engines power up radically fast. Alarms go off.
* Xanatos jerks back, wincing as his hand gets burnt, "Motherfucker, what's going on." He picks up his things as he shifts out, going back towars the controls.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns and moves as well. They both arrive to find the controls for the shuttle punctured with holes. And beyond repair. They are speeding rapidly fast toward the Sol system.
<Xanatos> Son of a bitch, son of a bitch! *he kicks a locker, denting it*
* Xanatos moves over and taps something on the controls, seeing if they even have limited response.
<DeathStar> 6* None at all. And the computer seems, before it was punctured, was put on a course right for Earth.
* Xanatos grints his teeth and slams his fist into the side of the shuttle, even with his burnt hand it seems he is too angry to notice. "...that's it. We're screwed."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... We cannot die here.
* Xanatos just rubs his chin, obviously going through scenarios in his head. "...." He pulls up his datapad and attempts to get an override, hoping it'd be that easy.
<DeathStar> 6* Uh, no
<DeathStar> 6* But it might work with some prodding
* Xanatos glances up at Erevis. "Try to think of something, this is my latch ditch effort." He goes through his datapad's applications pulling up the program he created to control shuttle remotely, since that used to be his thing he still has a nack for it, but what with the darkling running about, who knows if it'll work.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis inclines her head. Suddenly she pauses, and throws herself violently to the floor, crying out. A tendril shoots out where she was at.
* Xanatos jerks his head up, looking for the source of the tendril, his eyes narrowing.
<DeathStar> 6* The Darkling is on the ceiling.
* Xanatos jerks to throw the knife up to impale the Darkling to the ceiling, keeping his datapad protected from the little bugger.
<DeathStar> 6* The Darkling leaps out of the way onto a wall, then leaps off onto the floor.
* Xanatos pulls out his pistol and aims, firing stunning shots for it.
<DeathStar> 6* It leaps to the side, launching three tendrils at Xanatos.
<DeathStar> 6* Getting to her knees, Erevis strains to stand.
* Xanatos watches the incoming tendrils and protects the datapad and shits out of the way of two of them, a third one strikes into side and he grunts pulls up a disc, slapping it onto the tendril before it retracts.
<DeathStar> 6* The tendril doesn't retract, and breaks off in him
* Xanatos arches a brow and growls ripping it out, throwing it back at the bastard.
<DeathStar> 6* IT explodes in his hand.
* Xanatos is knocked back, that poor hand, he hands the datapad to Erevis and favors his wounded hand as he fires more stunning shots for the darkling.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes it. The Darkling dodges and begins to launch tendrils at her, since she become target prime.
* Xanatos pulls out his saber and moves to slices them away, then dashes in so they won't stick to him and explode or somethign retarded like that, and he tries to cut the thing into two without damaging the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* The Darkling dodges, then launches a tendril into the ramp. It skitters back, as if daring Xan to do something
* Xanatos narrows his eyes, "Erevis. Grab onto something."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, then complies by grabbing a chair.
<Xanatos> Something more secure. *he notes, rotating the sword*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' widens her eyes. "I fear that my hand grip is consideribly weak."
* Xanatos frowns, "Damnit you little shit." He says to the darkling, he lifts a gun up in his unjured hand, taking aim. "Don't....move."
<DeathStar> 6* The Darkling's tendril begins to glow, as if about to explode and take out the ramp.
* Xanatos widens his eyes. "Open the ramp, Erevis. Use the datapad. Open the ramp."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at the buttons, and does so.
<DeathStar> 6* The air begins to get sucked out into space. The Darkling skitters in a panic
* Xanatos fires at the darkling to knock it out into space.
<DeathStar> 6* It flies out into space, blowing the tendril up in spite.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis loses her grip on the chair, falling and sliding toward the exit.
* Xanatos slides over to close the ramp, he sees the hole and just groans, he glances around for something to throw over it for the time being. He begins to rip up chairs and send them towards it, hoping that cluttering it up will lower the sucking pressure.
<DeathStar> 6* Sadly, while they aren't going out, their oxygen is.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis groans in pain, laying on her back
* Xanatos makes a face and slides up beside Erevis, he takes the datapad out of her hands and gets back to working on getting this shuttle out of hyperspace before they die. He glances at the hole and moves over for a locker, attempting to find his spare oxygen tanks.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis gets to her feet slowly.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Another reason this body...is a hinderance. 6* A joke?
* Xanatos` has joined #Ep10XanLovesBeer
* Xanatos has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Another reason this body...is a hinderance. 6* A joke?
* Xanatos` glances at his breath and then at Erevis. "....the air is going out....quicker than I..." he just laughs and motions for her to follow him to the locker with the suits in them.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves to follow, her breathing labored
* Xanatos` moves to help her, by making sure she is the first one in a suit.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis clicks the helmet down with Xan's help
* Xanatos` makes sure she is in and has her breathing working and moves back over to the ramp, his slower, but it seems he's still determined, he pulls up something he found when he was digging and after getting the chairs out of the way he attempts to places an adhesive seal over the hole.
<DeathStar> 6* It's not going to last long, but it's something
* Xanatos` falls back slightly and puts his back to the hole, he pulls up his datapad and begins to work on it quickly, more quickly than he has ever done and with damaged hands to boot, his eyes becomes focused and his brow furrowed as he attempts to route into the shuttle's emergency systems so that he can activate the ramp system even if the shuttle is offline.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis speaks. "Xanatos. Look up."
* Xanatos` pauses and glances up.
<DeathStar> 6* Earth. Filling the entire screen. The heatshields, offline, don't stop the heat build up.
* Xanatos` groans and redirects his attention of getting the system online enough so that he can pull it out of hyperspace before they die.
<DeathStar> 6* Xanatos succeeds. The heatshields rise.
* Xanatos` shifts to press his leg against something to hold him steady as they plummet, he attempts to get the reverse thrusters to power up, to slow them their decent down some.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis remains silent as he works. To succeed, Xanatos must do the opposite game!
* Xanatos` works on it then.
<DeathStar> 6* Left, Left, Right, Right, Left, Left, Right, Right, Left, Right, Right, Left

<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle begins to slow.
* Xanatos` glances up to see just what they are headed for.
<DeathStar> 6* The Asian continent.
* Xanatos` decides anywhere with land will be better once they come from the shuttlecrash, but seems to be having trouble about where he wants to crash land.
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle is still going pretty fast. He needs to get control of the movement controls so they don't hit head on
* Xanatos` works to get movement, so he can at least adjust the shuttle to be more wind resist, and also so he can attempt to guide it down.
<DeathStar> 6* Left, Right, Right, Left, Left, Right, Right, Left, Right, Right, Up, Left, Left, Right

<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle successfully "Crash lands" with no real damage except to the underbelly.
* Xanatos` is jerked around for what one would expect to be an unpleasant landing.
<DeathStar> 6* All goes quiet.
* Xanatos` just lays there, apparently it knocked him out, or he was sleepy. After a moment he finally groans, attempting to sit up.
<DeathStar> 6* The suit is cumbersone
<DeathStar> *some, too
* Xanatos` pauses and lifts the helmet off. "Erevis. Erevis are you ok?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is laying nearby in her suit, not getting up. Appararently knocked out or sleepy.
* Xanatos` pulls himself out of his suit and crawls over to check on her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis has her suit helmet shield down.
* Xanatos` moves to lift it up.
<DeathStar> 6* Apparantly, she was unconscious
* Xanatos` checks to see if his comm was busted or was safe, if it works, he would bring it up to his ear.
<DeathStar> 6* Busted. It seems Xan's got some alone time with a hot chick.
<DeathStar> 6* We all know what Dias would do
* Xanatos` sighs and moves to take Erevis out of the large suit, he makes sure she isn't bleeding, then checks her for a comm or datapad.
<DeathStar> 6* Seems she doesn't carry them, and yes, her wound is bleeding somewhat.
* Xanatos` moves over to grab some another first aid kid, looking through one of the lopsided lockers.
<DeathStar> 6* Opening her eyes, Erevis peers at XAnatos. "I told you."
* Xanatos` glances back to her with a beat up first aid kit in his hand. "You told me?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We would not die.
<Xanatos`> Well that's cause we're just too damn pretty. *he says with a smile, stepping behind her to kneel down and apply the fresh bandage over the wound.*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis winces, too tired to hide it
<Xanatos`> Soon as I get a comm, i'm going to give Warren a call.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods slowly.
* Xanatos` just does a makeshift wrap around his hand and kneels down. "Wrap your arms around my neck." He tells her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, then does so.
* Xanatos` grunts as he lifts her up with his mostly just the strength of his neck and back, then he slides himself under her shoulder, wrapping his bad arm around her back to help her walk.

<Xanatos`> ....Oh damnit the door probably won't open. *He tries to the nudge the button with his head.*
<DeathStar> 6* No good. IT seems Xan's trapped with a hot chick for now
<Xanatos`> You know, this would normally be a good day for me, but with you wounded like that. *he moves to let her lean against the fall and looks for his gun.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis leans on the wall.
* Xanatos` finally finds one of his pistols and lifts it up, he aims at the viewport and takes 4 shots.
<DeathStar> 6* It cracks and breaks.
* Xanatos` uses the gun to knock of the sharp pieces that might cut them as they climb through, then moves over to get Erevis again. He finally attempts to get them out of his precious shuttle. :(
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at the floor instead of putting her arms around him again
* Xanatos` glances at Erevis. "Erevis, something wrong?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis hesitates. "I was just thinking about what I am going to do now."
* Xanatos` pauses and eyes her. "What do you mean?"
<DeathStar> 6* She shakes her head. "Do not pay me mind." 6* She moves to put her arm around Xan's neck
* Xanatos` glances at her, then starts to hobble towards the window. "You could always come be with me. No pressure, just reminding."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is silent, but she does lean her head a bit on him.
<DeathStar> 6* Emergency teams arrive outside the shuttle to provide aid and help.
<Xanatos`> I know the future is. *he grunts as he climbs outs* Important to you. So if only for a short while. *he reaches his hands out, to help lift Erevis out*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis accepts his aid. "I will consider your offer. But I think I desire time alone for a time. To think."
<DeathStar> <Man> Holy shit, you two okay?
<DeathStar> 6* He peers at them.
* Xanatos` lifts her out, turning to see the emergency teams finally arrive, he glances at Erevis and smiles at her. "I'm not going anywhere."
* Xanatos` looks the mand and nods. "Yeah, yeah. You got a comm on you?"
<Xanatos`> NRP: Man*
<DeathStar> <Man> Uh, yeah. Here, are either of you hurt? We got doctors and supplies. 6* He points at the shuttle with a big red cross on it
* Xanatos` pauses. "Yeah, her back, see if they can get it fixed. I won't be needing this." He hands the comm back to the man.

<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-588.7.16
<DeathStar> Location: The Erevis Complex of Doom
<DeathStar> 6* Darien knocks on the door, eyeing his watch.
* Seraphna opens the door, peeking out, still in her PJs it seems. "Mmm, morning Darien."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Angela. Then glances at his watch. "You know, I thought you would be dressed after going to Warren's base."
<Seraphna> "I figured my day was over."
<DeathStar> <Darien> How depressing.
<Seraphna> "Well you know us geeks, it's all sit in front of the computer and rule the universe... errr... program things."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stares at her blankly
* Seraphna sighs, "A joke, come on in and help yourself to some coffee while I get decent."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods. "Alright."
* Seraphna opens the door and lets him in.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps into the house, glancing around. "How's the two love birds doing?"
<Seraphna> "Quiet, but nothing shaking anymore."
<Seraphna> "Meg seems more schismed in her personaility then ever."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hm.
* Seraphna heads to her room to change.
<Seraphna> * There's a fresh pot of coffee on the counter, she seems to be making a lot of it lately, and a datapad which looks to be about a quarter through the files she recovered.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes the datapad.
<DeathStar> 6* He then glances around the house, listening to the silence.
* Seraphna steps back out in jeans and a tank top, tying her slightly dishelved hair back into a loose tail, she takes a seat.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances back at her. "Very quiet."
<Seraphna> "Yeah... I hate it."
<DeathStar> <Darien> You could always take the girls out.
* Seraphna sits back and grabs her own cup she left on the table. "I'll have to see about that when they rouse."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Of course, knowing them, they'd just do it to please you and would rather stay here. Silent.
* Seraphna sighs and nods, sipping her coffee. "So how are things at the Starr Estate?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Quiet. Though apparantly Ariel is considering taking up flying lessons with me.
<Seraphna> "I know I did it to see the other side of the action... but then I was bonded."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at her, raising a brow.
<Seraphna> "After I bonded as Angela to Seraphna, I started taking flying lessons out of curiosity to see if it aided at all."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Did it?
<Seraphna> "Not really."
<Seraphna> "Bonded combat is far more... I dunno what to call it... natural instinct?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien smirks, taking a seat and glancing toward the various occupied rooms. Apparantly investigating them. He glances back at her. "I wouldn't know."
<Seraphna> "Yeah you don't remember do you?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Remember what?
<Seraphna> "We've fought together as a bonded pair before."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Oh. Right.
* Seraphna smiles softly.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods slowly.
<Seraphna> "At least you're not blanking out anymore."
<DeathStar> <Darien> That's good. I think. Not that I'd remember.
* Seraphna looks down at the datapad, "Still looking through the files..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I see that.
<Seraphna> "I think I'm starting to make some headway... not sure what it all means just yet though."
<Seraphna> "Still worried a bit that I'll find out something else to make my life stranger."
<Seraphna> "That reminds me..."
<Seraphna> "A little while back, Ere was helping me calm down through meditation."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods slowly.
<Seraphna> "When I got really, really relaxed... I had a moment that felt like psionics."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Interesting. Alexander's little genetic therapy?
<Seraphna> "It could be... but the copy power felt a bit different... it had a limited amount of use, when I was done wiht it, it was gone... and no one remarked on my hand glowing."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Maybe it glowed when neither of you noticed.
<Seraphna> "Highly possible... I'll try meditating both with her and on my own to test it out."
<Seraphna> "I'm a bit worried... if it's not."
<DeathStar> <Darien> You know what. You should see if you can acquire Megumi's little power.
<Seraphna> "I'll start patting her head whenever I see her. Dunno how it works but I'm guessing physical contact might make it easier."
<DeathStar> <Darien> More than likely. The more physical contact, the better, I'd imagine.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Probably why you got psionics from Erevis was because your minds were contacting. Else, you'd probably have gotten her zap abilities if it was physical.
<Seraphna> "We were holding hands."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hm. Maybe it went based on the power you'd preferred.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Subconsciously.
<Seraphna> "I definately DON'T prefer hyperspace, that ability hurt like hell."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Exactly.
<Seraphna> "I'll have to give this a try... I never really thought about developing it."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods, in investigator mode. "Definitely see if you can get Megumi's abilities. I'm sure you can come up with some excuse for close physical contact."
<Seraphna> "She's easy, I apparently love torturing her as is."
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... 6* He considers something, a vacant expression on his face.
<Seraphna> "Oh yeah, yet another thing... Alexander seems to have taken interest in me again."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shakes his head, forcing himself to snap out of it. "Oh?"
<Seraphna> "He gave me his number."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Maybe he wants a date.
* Seraphna giggles a little. "Now that would be akward."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Awkward, but biologically possible now.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien puts his hands into his pockets. "Oh, while I'm thinking about it. Summer school begins next week. I arranged it for Megumi to take those exams to get out of it."
<DeathStar> <Darien> So let her know.
<Seraphna> "Still... I mean, I remember calling that man 'Daddy' at one point."
<Seraphna> "Alright."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Now he's your pimp daddy.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shrugs.
* Seraphna stares at him a moment, then shakes her head.
<Seraphna> "I really don't ever see it happening."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Neither do I.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Still. If you wanted to try to get more powers, he'd the man.
<DeathStar> *be
* Seraphna sighs a bit and sits back. "You know... if I have one major regret in choices it probably is taking my human form back. More and more I'm starting to think this legacy wasn't just Cran's intention..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> But I thought you wanted to be human again.
<Seraphna> "Plus if I was Omega still I'd probably... no... I'm thinking too hard."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien studies her closely.
<Seraphna> "I wanted to be me. I wasn't sure who that was."
* Seraphna looks down.
<Seraphna> "Turn 18 and suddenly, 'Oh hey Serena, did we forget to mention you're the Dragoon Omega? Here go fight a war for us.'"
<Seraphna> "How did people think I'd turn out after that?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Cran was senile.
<Seraphna> "Obviously."
<Seraphna> "I just wish Spade had decided to stop following orders sooner."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Spade was a snake. I don't think he could have been trusted any better.
* Seraphna rubs her head. "I started to think that way too... even played my own dangerous game thinking I could save lives."
<Seraphna> "In the end... Spade sacrificed himself for me."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Angela. "He also did a lot of bad things to those around you."
<Seraphna> "I know that."
* Seraphna closes her eyes. "It doesn't mean I can't remember what little good he did as well."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances toward Erevis' room, then away. "Fair enough. I just wouldn't mention it around others who didn't get the kinder side."
<Seraphna> "Not THAT dumb."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien quirks an eyebrow, a smirk on his face.
* Seraphna sighs a bit. "Looking back on it all now, with everything that's happened, and with a second life to look over..."
<Seraphna> "I still think discarding the Omega in me was a pretty rash move."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I would...agree.
<Seraphna> "So yeah... if I had a chance to regain power, I might just take it."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien studies her, then nods.
* Seraphna looks at the datapad. "I did so much trying to save lives, when just being what I was culd have done it better."
* Seraphna smirks, "Change isn't always for the better."
<DeathStar> <Darien> If I had the power to change things, I know I wouldn't let it go so easily.
<Seraphna> "I guess you need to know helplessness before you can appreciate power."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Perhaps. Though the Dragoons and Erevis seem to appreciate power just fine without having been helpless.
<Seraphna> "Mmm... have they always been?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, granted, going into a human form probably WAS a step down for Erevis.
<Seraphna> "And Zephyr lost her powers a few times."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hm.
<Seraphna> "Most of the Dragoons had to battle for their own free will at one point too..." *she says this with regret*
<DeathStar> <Darien> But now they're all independent.
<Seraphna> "As free willed as it gets now."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods.
* Seraphna mulls this all over.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien peers about the silent house again.
<Seraphna> "You know... I think I might give him a call."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks at her again. "Really?"
<Seraphna> "Might as well see what he's after, or up to."
<Seraphna> "We operate blind enough as is."
<DeathStar> <Darien> True.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' door opens and she steps out in a kimono. She bows her head to Darien and Angela, moving outside
* Seraphna waves a little to her.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, there's one of them.
* Seraphna watches her step out and sighs, "Yeah, that means the cat will be around soon."
<Seraphna> "It's amazing, around you or me she's this timid little thing."
<Seraphna> 'She gets near Ariel, BAM, spunky again."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Really.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien mulls this over.
<Seraphna> "Yeah... and what's up with her calling Ariel, 'Momma Ariel'?
<DeathStar> <Darien> I don't know. But at least Ariel didn't seem to mind.
<Seraphna> "She didn't mind when I called her Mother either."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I think she ignored you.
<Seraphna> "...Yeah."
* Seraphna shrugs a bit.
<DeathStar> <Darien> When it comes down to it, only Zephyr was really her kid. I don't think Cheryl even really ranks on the same level of affection.
<DeathStar> <Darien> If Megumi can worm her way into a position like that, then maybe it'll help Ariel move on.
<Seraphna> "Yeah maybe."
* Seraphna frowns a bit at Darien's words.
<DeathStar> <Darien> The other me really liked Megumi, I think.
<Seraphna> "A bit yeah."
<DeathStar> <Darien> More than that. I sometimes have this vague feeling of affection when I think back. Like you would a kid.
<Seraphna> "Heh... I kinda see her as this annoying little sister. Wanna smack her but at the same time I care."
<Seraphna> "Might be because of Zeph though..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Do you? 6* He studies Angela curiously.
<Seraphna> "You know me... I have a habit of trying to fill that hole in my life."
<DeathStar> <Darien> True. I just would think you would encourage her to be with Erevis, then, if that were the case.
* Seraphna grins a little. "Divided loyalties, my bane."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks very serious. "Angela. You'll find that sort of thing will get people hurt, and you alone."
<DeathStar> <Darien> If you're bystander with no emotional connection, then it's easy. But you can't care for all parties without it backfiring.
* Seraphna sighs a bit. "I don't want to see that second grave Darien..."
<Seraphna> "What if it's Megumi? What if by letting them get together we're hurting them?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> I don't think it can be Megumi. Not the way Erevis talks.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Plus Legion is too keen on killing her.
<Seraphna> "...He isn't?"
<Seraphna> "Have you heard his screams?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> I said he IS too keen.
<Seraphna> "Right... mind wandering."
<Seraphna> "Mindless hatred could even turn him off his path."
<Seraphna> "Oddly I noticed there's a few people he doesn't outwardly go after."
<DeathStar> <Darien> But you see, Erevis knows what to expect from me. Because when it comes down to it, I don't care about her. Not like I do Ariel and the rest of you. So I can be objective. But if you tell Erevis you care, then you divide sides in this sticky matter, there will be grudges.
* Seraphna nods and sighs, thinking.
<Seraphna> "It sucks having this desire to care about everyone... except Chad."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Eh, maybe Chad's the second grave.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shrugs.
<Seraphna> "...BUt then my motivation dies."
* Seraphna smirks a little.
<Kit> 6A creak sounds that Erevis' bedroom door opened. Megumi is standing there, wincing at the fact that it did so.
* Seraphna turns and looks. "Okay, status update, they're sleeping together again."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien apparantly is checking to see if she's peeking in, or peeking out
* Seraphna looks at that too now, even if it spoils her joke.
<Kit> 6Megumi is peering in, but that means she was in the room at least for a few moments prior. She stops gazing in and closes the door, sighing, then peers toward the two talking and moves for the kitchen.
<DeathStar> <Darien> She's outside.
<Kit> <Megumi> I see." 6Stalks the refridgerator, glumly grabbing something premade and going to warm it.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pulls out a paper and sets it down. "The time and location of your exams for school."
<Seraphna> "You know you girls could eat what I cook from time to time."
<Kit> <Megumi> Y-You don't think I can cook..?
<Seraphna> "I do, but you know I like cooking for you."
* Seraphna pouts.
<Kit> 6Megumi returns with a tiny amount of recooked fish and peers at the papers Darien has put down. 1"O-Oh... thank you, Darien."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pours himself a cup of coffee finally.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Y-You're welcome.
* Seraphna pats Meg's head, fixing her hair a little with a finger. "Sleep well?"
<Kit> <Megumi> I ..." 6She peers down and toes the ground. 1"I like cooking, but I rarely do now... because of you and Erevis not eating much."
* Seraphna looks away, her lack of eating being slipped out so easily.
<DeathStar> <Darien> She is always underwright. 6* He muses.
<Seraphna> "I'm... just not hungry lately."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Angela's stomach now.
* Seraphna seems fine so far, not overly skinny.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sips his coffee.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, you can always cook for me.
* Seraphna pats Meg's shoulder and sighs. "How about you make me dinner when I get home tonight?"
<Kit> <Megumi> ...I can?
* Seraphna blinks, damn sync speaking with Darien.
<Kit> 6Megumi stares at the two, in awe.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien peers at Angela.
<Seraphna> "...Yeah."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, Erevis does have me working on finding that amulet. I imagine I'll be around a bit more to ask her questions.
<Kit> <Megumi> V-Very well. Do you like anything in particular?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Anything besides fish.
<Seraphna> "Whatever he's having."
<Kit> 6Megumi blinks between them. 1"...I-Is pasta okay? I l-like things spicey..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hrm. I guess I can take a pill before hand if I get upset stomach
<Seraphna> "I'm good with it then."
<Kit> 6Megumi nods slowly and bows. 1"Very well. I will warn you that I create very hot dishes."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Maybe two pills.
<Seraphna> "And Milk."
* Seraphna pats Meg again.
<Kit> <Megumi> Erevis never seemed to mind, however." 6She smiles thoughtfully, then gazes at the forms. 1"Thank you for arranging this, Darien. I will need to leave early..."
<Kit> 6Megumi shifts her gaze toward Angela. 1"Miss Bennet... why are... you touching me so much?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> It's no problem. Since Ariel is listed as your guardian, I figured I could handle the paperwork
<Seraphna> "Hmmm? JUst trying to be nice."
* Seraphna looks a bit sad.
<Kit> <Megumi> I ...s-see.." 6She smiles nervously at Angela, then nods and moves away a bit. 1"U-Um... I'll go check on Erevis." 6She moves away quickly, heading for the yard.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien watches Megumi exit, then waits for the door to close, then eyes Angela. "Maybe you should ask her to take a nap with you and cuddle her."
<DeathStar> 6* The yard is empty of redheads.
* Seraphna blinks a bit. "You serious?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> *shrugs* Who knows.
<Kit> 6Megumi wanders back in. 1"She... is not here."
<Seraphna> "I'm sure she'll be back Meg."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, she probably went to a place only an Erevis would go.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien finishes the coffee, setting the cup in the sink.
<DeathStar> <Darien> By the way, how's the job, Angela?
<Seraphna> "Tiring, but fun. I think Dawn's starting to warm up a little too."
* Seraphna sighs and stretches.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Did he say so?
<Seraphna> "He's mute."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hm.
<Seraphna> "He did start giving me sweets again though."
<Seraphna> "Which I think translates to 'sorry.'"
<DeathStar> <Darien> I see. How can you be sure it's not 'here, take this and leave me alone'?
<Seraphna> "He looked sorry too."
<Kit> 6Megumi peers between the two, just listening.
<DeathStar> <Darien> A look of pleading for you to take it and go? 6* He asks
<Seraphna> "Meh not to go, though he really can't get rid of me at the Cafe."
<DeathStar> <Darien> You are a tactical genius.
* Seraphna looks down, her optimism being shot down.
<Seraphna> "I was taught by a man who for a short time ruled the world."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien smiles, then eyes his watch. "Well, I should probably go do some work."
<Seraphna> "I should get a nap in before work... having trouble sleeping again."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pats her cheek. "Rest well."
<Kit> <Megumi> Hm. I awaken, everyone goes to sleep.
* Chad`Winters is now known as Chad`Sleeep
<DeathStar> 6* Darien peers at Megumi. "I'm not."
* Seraphna scratches her head a little.
<Kit> <Megumi> O-Oh... Are you hungry?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Um, not right now. But I'll come back later this afternoon for that pasta.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien does a little wave to the two, and heads for the front door.
<Kit> 6Megumi nods slowly, then leans on the table sighing grandly. No Erevis. Le Sigh.
<Seraphna> "Hey Meg?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien exits
<Kit> <Megumi> Yes, Miss Bennet?
<Seraphna> "I've got a favor to ask."
<Kit> <Megumi> Yes?
<Seraphna> "Would you join me for my nap?"
<Kit> 6Megumi jerks then shakes her head quickly. 1"Wh-Why would I do that?"
<Seraphna> "Nothing intimate, just stay in my bed while I rest... I've had trouble sleeping and well... I'm not... used to being in bed alone still."
<Kit> <Megumi> This is something I should discuss with Erevis before..
<Seraphna> "Why?"
<Seraphna> "Are you saying... you feel it could be intimate?"
<Kit> <Megumi> I have said nothing, but it's possible beloved could misunderstand the intentions if she is not properly informed beforehand." 6Bows.
<Seraphna> "Well alright... if that's how you wanna do it."
<Seraphna> "By the way, you should check the roof."
* Seraphna sighs and gets up, heading for her room.
<Kit> 6Megumi hangs her head, looking a bit dejected.
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP TO EVENING-
<DeathStar> 6* Darien returns for that pasta. He knocks on the door
* Seraphna answers, still in her waitress outfit.
<Seraphna> "Mmm, Darien, hey there."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien studies her. "Hm."
<Seraphna> "Just got home from work myself." *she looks down at her uniform*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien hmmms again, then glances up. "Cute."
* Seraphna blushes a little and bows out of habit. "Thanks, come on in."
* Seraphna lets him in and starts heading for her room.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shuts the door behind him and walks on in, glancing toward the kitchen.
<Kit> 6An assault of peppery aromas sifts from the kitchen.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sneezes.
<DeathStar> 6* He moves into the kitchen and takes a seat at the table.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Smells ... spicy.
<Kit> 6Megumi peers over her shoulder, manning three pots. 1"..Um... Y-Yes, it is."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes her working, crossing his arms and staring
* Seraphna steps into the kitchen and sneezes, in a tank top and jeans once more.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods to Angela.
<Kit> 6Megumi turns the heat off everything and begins setting out plates.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien gives Angela a "Here we go" look.
* Seraphna smiles politely and takes a seat.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien gets his utensils.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm looking forward to this, Megumi.
<Kit> 6Megumi brings the main pot to the table, peering at him. 1"You are, Darien?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Sure.
<Kit> 6Megumi turns back to the stoves and brings another pot, one being the pasta over steaming water to keep them from drying out, the other the sauce strewn with vegetables, mainly onions, broccoli and olives. She brings back the third pot, a type of... pudding?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien studies all the pots.
* Seraphna sits back and smiles softly.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien casually counts how many plates Megumi set out
<Kit> 6Megumi sets out four, but only puts out pasta in two, one for Darien, one for Angela. She takes a ladle and spoons over the vegetable-filled sauce for the two, then moves to sit at the end of the table, holding up a book.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps inside quietly. Upon brief glance, her hair might seem like it's been cut off at shoulder length, but in actuality, she has it in a bun with chopsticks. She moves to sit at the table, bowing her head politely to everyone.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien takes his fork and begins to eat the food, almost experimentally.
<Kit> 6Megumi looks utterly baffled, then quickly goes to serve Erevis some.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Thank you. 6* She says to Megumi, bowing her head again.
<DeathStar> <Darien> So, how was your day? 6* He makes conversation with Angela, eating another bite.
<Seraphna> "Mmm, pretty good, a bit busy at the cafe but good tips too."
<DeathStar> <Darien> That's good. You get a good rest beforehand?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis quietly eats her portion of the food.
* Seraphna takes a bite of her food. "Fairly, I still had trouble sleeping..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hrm. Try sleeping pills?
<Seraphna> "Trying to kick the habit."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods slowly.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Sounds like you need a pet to sleep with
<Kit> 6Megumi returns to her own seat and spoons some of the pasta for herself, apparently having chosen to eat due to mysterious circumstances.
<Seraphna> "I could use a pet or something I guess."
* Seraphna takes another bite quietly.
<Kit> 6Megumi eats the pasta, blazing with cayenne, habanero-inspired mixes and coriander-fused paprika, without batting an eyelash. Smiling, even.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien keeps drinking his water
* Seraphna slides Darien a glass of milk.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes it, then drinks it
<Seraphna> "Drink a solid base to cancel out the acids that forma spice."
* Seraphna smiles.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Thanks.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eats the food quietly, not looking very bothered by the spice. Of course, she does only eat a small portion.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien finishes his food, tugging at his collar. "You weren't kidding about spicy."
<Kit> <Megumi> Yes, I like it spicey, hee hee...
<Kit> 6Megumi grins toward Darien. 1"Isn't it great?!"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses. "It's, uh, hot." 6* He nods once.
* Seraphna smiles and pats Meg again. "It's great."
<Kit> <Megumi> Hrmph, the flavor is astounding if you can handle that tiny amount of heat.
<Kit> 6Megumi sits back and crosses her arms. She eyes Angela. 1"You're touching me again."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies them both
<Kit> 6Megumi's eyes trail to Erevis and she shuffles back in her seat nervously.
<Seraphna> "I got used to it eating all this japanese food."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head, then eats some more of her own food.
* Seraphna smiles a bit more.
<Kit> <Megumi> You became accustomed to touching me because of Japanese food?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien laughs once at that.
<Seraphna> "Eating spicy food."
<Kit> <Megumi> Oh, I see..
* Seraphna blinks and realises she was patting Meg, she pulls her hand away, apparently it wasn't a big deal to her.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien finishes about as much as his stomach can take of the spicy pasta
<Kit> 6Megumi finishes hers, despite slow and cleanly eating and takes seconds, gazing about in the silence.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis finishes her own portions
<DeathStar> 6* Darien finishes his milk. "You are an excellent cook."
<Kit> <Megumi> You're just saying that." 6Pouts.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> He is correct.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses, then motions at Erevis
<Seraphna> "That's 3 to 1, unless you agree with us."
<Kit> 6Megumi hangs her head, embarassed.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sneaks some pudding over to himself
* Seraphna enjoys some pudding as well.
<Kit> 6Apparently it's one of those spicey puddings with cayenne and cinnamon, however, due to being a thick and rich chocolate, it never quite attains the bite of a normal spicey foot. Interesting, to say the least.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hmmmm.
<DeathStar> <Darien> This is interesting. Very different. I don't think I've ever had anything like it.
<Kit> <Megumi> It's an Earthling thing I found recently. It's survived since eons ago from something called 'Mayans.'
<Kit> <Megumi> I'm quite fond of it.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hm.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, thank you for a lovely meal. 6* He finishes and stands.
<Kit> <Megumi> You're leaving?
<Seraphna> "Mmm, rest well Darien."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yes. It's getting late and I should head back to the Starr Estate.
<DeathStar> 6* He eyes Angela when he says the last two words.
* Seraphna giggles at him and grins. She likes it when people adopt her silly terms.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien waves and heads out, leaving the three females alone.
<Seraphna> "Mmm... I should try and get some sleep myself."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis inclines her head to Angela.
* Seraphna looks between the two.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers back.
<Kit> 6Megumi inclines her head toward Angela as well.
<Seraphna> "Well... lemme know about what we discussed Meg... I'm gonna get ready for bed."
* Seraphna gets up, patting Meg's shoulder, "Thanks for dinner."
* Seraphna steps out to her room.
<Kit> 6Megumi watches her go, then shrinks back into her chair, gazing quietly at Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, inclining her head to Megumi. "I should head to my room as well. Good night, Megumi." 6* She rises.
<Kit> <Megumi> ...E-Erevis..
<DeathStar> 6* She studies Megumi momentarily as she says her name.
<Kit> <Megumi> Have you... reached any thoughts?
<Kit> 6Megumi peers away slowly.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have not.
<Kit> <Megumi> ...Very well.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps out of the kitchen without another word.
<Kit> 6Megumi peers at the pudding, having lost appetite, and instead rests her head on the table, sighing.
<DeathStar> -END-
