Session Ident: #Erevis
* Logging #Erevis to 'logs\EsperNet\#Erevis.20080317.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: Same day
<DeathStar> Location: HQ
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands in the conference room with a galactic map, having the computer draw lines circling Earth.
<Xanatos> So just how many races are we going to have to worry about? *he steps up behind Warren*
<Seraphna> "All of them?"
<Chad`Winters> <SPoC> Any that were within 24 hours of Earth.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns so the good side of his face is toward Xanatos, then looks at the map. "Those with the red line represent those who are likely to reach Earth in 24 hours."
<DeathStar> *within
* Xanatos peers at the line and begins to count.
<DeathStar> <Warren> It excludes all the major races like the Cartel, the Tsivrixsh, and the Erusians.
<DeathStar> 6* There's an odd dozen minor races.
<Xanatos> But of course they'll be showing up. And lucky us, we don't have much of a fleet anymore.
<Megumi> <Megumi> ...I'm worried. Although Famfrit is too far to worry, that hunter is on this planet as well.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien perks up, leaning on the wall. "Think he has a wish?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina remains in her room. Cheryl remains in her office.
<Seraphna> "Meg dead?"
<DeathStar> 6* Drake sits in the mess hall, eyeing a plate of food he hasn't touched.
<Chad`Winters> I think it's safe to say, anyone who heard that message will have a wish.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I think he could do that barehanded.
* Megumi peers toward Darien and sulks.
<Megumi> I tried to defend you..
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm just being realistic.
<Megumi> Yes, ...I suppose.
<Seraphna> "Everyone has a wish, from big to small."
<Xanatos> That's just someone else to add to our list of 'Oh shit, oh shit, this person is trying to kill us.'
* Megumi hangs her head again.
<Megumi> I'm sorry everyone.
<Xanatos> Sorry? Why's she sorry? *he glances around*
<Seraphna> "It's not like a terrible plague to add onto all else we have to face."
* Megumi twitches slightly. 1"Famfrit that are properly learned like him are difficult to face and if not for my past transgressions it would be one less nuissance to deal with."
<Xanatos> *Theron steps into the conference room, glancing at those around, he steps to the side.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren crosses his arms.
<Xanatos> It's alright. We'll just shoot at him just like everyone else. *He notes*
* Myria shuffles in after Theron.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Brilliant.
<Chad`Winters> We'll let you deal with him that Durran.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: than
<Megumi> It's my problem...
<Xanatos> Oh no, that's Megumi's burden. *he waves his hand*
<Megumi> <Chii> Eh, I know this is a bit strange to think of. But on the off chance Freyja decides to not let us past either?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Then she gets shot.
<Chad`Winters> Than we take her out.
<Megumi> 6Chii peers at Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren states simply, turning back to the map.
<Megumi> <Chii> Well fuck.
<Seraphna> "This is a good old fashioned free for all kiddo."
<Megumi> <Chii> Then why are we having a meeting?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Troops are already landing at the shrine. 6* He notes, glancing at his datapad.
<Seraphna> "Though when Legion shows up I doubt many of these threats are going to matter anymore."
<Xanatos> How much longer does that give us to come up with an amazing plan to save all of earth?
<DeathStar> <Warren> 20 something hours until this gift appears.
<Chad`Winters> And we don't even know how it'll appear.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer hugs her knees a little, listening quietly from her chair.
<Xanatos> <Theron> I am most curious as to what the gift will appear as.
<Seraphna> "Or what it'll look like, for that matter."
<Megumi> <Chii> A new centerpoint?
<DeathStar> <Darien> At least we can get a good night's sleep.
* Seraphna looks to Theron.
<Myria> Or if it will appear...or maybe the wishing will just happen.
<Seraphna> "Aye... and you could use it Darien."
<Seraphna> "You got stabbed."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shrugs his bandaged shoulder.
<DeathStar> <Darien> True.
<Megumi> I mended him best I could!
* Megumi hrmphs and puffs her cheeks.
<Seraphna> "So did I."
<Xanatos> Sleep? I think everyone should find someone, get naked, and just do it till they pass out.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Xaantos.
* Megumi headtilts at Xanatos.
<Megumi> 6Chii laughs, then twitches.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Oh, brilliant plan. I'm sure you just want to bang Erevis.
<Megumi> Ah...!
<Myria> I'm not in a mating heat right now.
<Xanatos> Yeah that won't be happening. It's complicated, right?
<Seraphna> "Like there's anyone interested."
<Chad`Winters> Well I'm sure if he tells Erevis he plans on sacrificing himself, it could work.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Don't give him ideas.
<Xanatos> Oh yeah? That's a good idea, man.
<Megumi> H-Hrmph!
<Megumi> I'll sacrifice him, alright!
<Seraphna> "It's not like she won't believe him, he does it often enough."
<Xanatos> That would be murder, you moron.
<Megumi> For the greater good.
* Megumi turns away, crossing her arms.
<Chad`Winters> That's selfish.
<Megumi> 6Chii eyes Megumi, blinking.
<Xanatos> Your own good. Selfish thing.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pops vicodin.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'll shoot you all.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren turns back to his map.
<Xanatos> You know, I may even be kind enough to suggest you get to join in as well.
<Megumi> 6Chii motions an OK sign to the others, perhaps feeling killing intent from Warren.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses, eyeing Warren, then the others. He coughs awkwardly.
* Seraphna sighs and checks her nails.
* Chad`Winters grunts in response.
* Xanatos glances over his shoulder at Warren, then looks at everyone else.
<Ariel> "...I can't tell if he's joking, or means it. But likely both."
<Xanatos> <Theron> Warren. Did the Dark Ones destroy all usable gears and fighters?
<Xanatos> Oh he means it. He has shot me plenty of times.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Theron. They went over this in Part I.
<Xanatos> <Theron> I was just thinking...no nevermind that would require cooperation from civilians.
* Megumi scowls and saunters over to Ariel, peering up at her quite intently.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien crosses his arms. "So. Should we deal with this Freyja character now, or wait let her tire herself out on civilians?"
<Megumi> <Chii> Well, they didn't knock off Cheryl, but she's not particularly happy about that.
<Chad`Winters> How long before the big races start to join in?
<Megumi> 6Chii eyes Darien darkly.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes the progress of the troops setting up parimeters around the shrine. "If she leaves our people alone, we don't attack her."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Chii back.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glacnes at Chad. "I say tomorrow."
<Xanatos> Maybe she'll get sucked into another portal.
<Chad`Winters> How many hours after the 24 hour period hits?
* paula35 has joined #erevis
<Megumi> <Chii> If you try anything on her, I'll kill you first.
<Seraphna> "How many wha?"
<Xanatos> Oh yeah? So you're not going to help us Chii?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien spreads his hands. "I'll do whatever it takes to secure the wish."
<Megumi> <Chii> Sure. Just don't touch Freyja.
* Seraphna nods to Darien.
<Xanatos> She gets in our way, you going to turn on us to protect her?
<DeathStar> <Darien> As long as she doesn't interfere, then I won't touch her.
<Megumi> <Chii> No, I'll beat the shit out of her.
<Xanatos> Oh, excellent. I would've hated to hurt that pretty face of yours.
<Seraphna> "See? Chii will be our heroine of the hour."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts at pretty.
<Megumi> <Chii> We're twins. She has the same face.
<Megumi> 6Chii stares at Xanatos.
* paula35 has quit IRC (Quit: )
<Xanatos> Guess that means I would've been in double the pain for hurting the both of you.
* Chad`Winters rubs his chin. 1"We'll just need to hope that none of their ships are within that 24 hour window
<DeathStar> <Warren> Indeed.
<Megumi> <Chii> ...Huh, aren't you supposed to be smooth?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pauses, eyeing his comm. "Excuse me." 6* He walks out.
* Xanatos laughs.
<Xanatos> No. That's why i'm so lovable.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Right. Loveable.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...so you'll get your face beat up... and take hers?"
<Megumi> 6Chii turns and looks, sees nothing, looks down at Raquel.
* Xanatos smirks at Darien, then glances at Raquel oddly.
<Megumi> <Chii> Oh. You.
<Xanatos> *Theron tilts his head and excuses himself, apparently he is going to prepare for the battle.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...that's what it sounded like she was saying..."
* Seraphna pulls her hair back into a pony tail and sighs, sitting back.
<Megumi> 6Chii crosses her arms. 1"You definitely stay away from her."
<Chad`Winters> If she get's in my way, I'll take her out Chii.
<Xanatos> And trust me. From what I heard. He may like it.
<Megumi> 6Megumi hops up and down in front of Ariel, perhaps to continue attempting her attention.
<Ariel> Raquel> "...but she has a pretty soul." *pouts*
<Ariel> "...yes Megumi?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Raquel. "Creepy."
* Myria rocks on her heels as she watches Theron leave.
<Megumi> <Chii> I'm not joking. I'll kill anyone who tries to hurt her. I may hate her, but right now she has our soul.
<Megumi> 6Chii softens. 1"Anyone attacking her is as good as trying to kill me. I don't play well with that."
<Chad`Winters> Than keep her on a short leash.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Even your own pilot?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Chii curiously.
<Megumi> 6Chii peers at Darien and pauses awkwardly.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel considers that, "...so if I took her soul, then you could be my pet?"
<Megumi> <Chii> What do you mean my 'pilot?'
<Chad`Winters> Cheryl you idiot.
<DeathStar> NRP: Er, your own Dragoon
<Megumi> <Chii> ...I... Don't know.
<Chad`Winters> So you're saying you wouldn't defend Cheryl?
<Megumi> <Chii> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Raquel, then motions at Chii. "You can be her pet."
<Xanatos> Oh this is good. Such the dilemma.
<Megumi> <Megumi> Mother Knight, we need to talk!
<Chad`Winters> You'd let Freyja kill Cheryl than? 6He studies her now.
<Megumi> <Chii> Fuck no.
<Chad`Winters> You know Cheryl wouldn't back down.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sits in his office, hitting a button. "Odin. I was wondering when we'd speak again."
* Myria shuffles off after Theron, deciding to keep him company.
<Megumi> <Chii> Look!" 6She snarls. 1"Just stay away from her. No one's going to die over her, so just drop it."
<Chad`Winters> <Odin> Well, when I hear a voice in my head and than an image of what I believe is Earth. I always think of you.
<Seraphna> * Jen makes a beeline for the exit of the conference room while people talk, though she must pass through everyone to do so.
<Ariel> 6* Raquel winces as Chii freaks out, she was just trying to be playful.
<Xanatos> *Theron seems to be standing right out of the door, he glances up at Myria. "I was quite curious how long it would take before you came along. Your time had almost reached 5 minutes."
<Ariel> "Alright then, let's talk. What's on your mind?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien his eyes watch, then steps out of the conference room himself.
<Megumi> 6Megumi peers at the others. 1"...Away from here."
<Chad`Winters> So you're saying you'd stop her if she'd make a move against Cheryl than?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts.
<Megumi> <Chii> Yes. I told you I'd beat her down myself.
<Xanatos> Well she said she would kick her ass if she got in the way, I guess Cheryl would be a part of that getting in the way. Right?
<Myria> Why did you do that?! *crosses her arms, acting huffy*
<Chad`Winters> Even if she wished to give you a soul?
<Seraphna> * Jen looks back at Darien stepping out behind her, "Hey Mister Starr."
<Xanatos> *Theron pauses and arches a brow. "Why did I do what?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien just nods to Jennifer, moving down the hallway.
<Chad`Winters> <Odin> So tell me Warren, how real is this?
<Megumi> <Chii> I can get my own.
<Chad`Winters> But you haven't.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren waves his hand. "The games of gods are as real as they want them to be."
<Seraphna> * Jen shrugs and makes her way to the rec room.
<Xanatos> Mostly because people keep killing her target.
<Megumi> <Chii> Because you pricks keep killing them all when I have a chance.
<Megumi> 6Chii stares at Xanatos, smirking.
* Ariel steps out of the room, letting Megumi follow
<Chad`Winters> <Odin> Interesting. I never expected such honesty from you.
<Xanatos> You know, Chii. Maybe if you were concious more often in the fights, you would get your soul?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Lying would be pointless at this point.
<Megumi> 6Chii gives Xanatos the bird. 1"Maybe if you fought on the front lines more you'd see how often I'm conscious."
<Myria> Time me!
<Ariel> Raquel> "...you can't just take a soul, and say it's yours."
<Xanatos> <Theron> It was research.
* Megumi follows Ariel to wherever she thinks is private enough.
<Megumi> <Chii> No, I can't. There's more to it than that.
<Xanatos> Don't tempt me. Chii, it's been a long time. *he gives her a smile*
* Seraphna sits quietly, her eyes closed, just taking in the noise of people talking.
* Ariel heads to her room and takes a seat.
<Myria> Huh?
<Chad`Winters> <Odin> Very true. And it's just my luck that I'm outside the alotted time.
<DeathStar> <Warren> How unfortunate.
* Megumi stands around before Ariel, toeing the ground.
<Ariel> "So... what's on your mind?"
<Xanatos> <Theron> Do not worry. I had something that I wished to discuss with you, but I fear I have waited too long. There is little time left.
<Chad`Winters> <Odin> I thought so too. Until I remember a conversation we had not to long ago.
<Megumi> Well, um... It's... about earlier.
<Myria> Tell me then.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander steps into the conference room, his hands crossed behind his back.
<Ariel> "Yes?"
* Seraphna opens an eye to see Alexander.
<Megumi> 6Chii stares. 1"Hey, it's the creepy guy."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Ah, yes. 6* Warren nods once.
<Seraphna> "Took you long enough Alex."
* Chad`Winters glances over at Alexander, his hand shifts over and rests on Ebony
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander looks at Chii, then at Angela. "The executive building is in disorder. The President sent me."
<Xanatos> Alex, eh?
<Megumi> 6Chii pats Raquel idly atop the head. 1"We still have a president?"
<Megumi> <Chii> I see you more than him.
<Megumi> Well...
<Chad`Winters> <Odin> It would be unfortunate if the Cartel were not given the fair chance at getting this wish Warren. Do you not agree?
<Seraphna> "Well there's not much to see, I can bring you up to speed if you'd like."
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Actually, I'm well up to speed. I came to speak to you. 6* He crooks his finger at her, and steps back out.
* Megumi peers at Ariel from the side, not exactly meeting eyes. 1"...Will you ...consider bonding again?"
<Seraphna> "Alright."
* Seraphna gets up and heads after him.
<Megumi> <Chii> Okay, Chad. Shoot her.
<Megumi> <Chii> That's obviously suspicious.
* Chad`Winters grunts in response to Chii.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren spreads his hands. "Terrible."
<Xanatos> That's pretty shitty, really.
<Chad`Winters> <Odin> I'm playing my card Warren and I want you to secure me my wish.
<Xanatos> <Theron> I have been given thought to the modifications that I had your perform. I came up with some more ideas. But it would seem our time is limited
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander walks down the hallway of the base, looking at Angela. "I think we should try to do more gene therapy on you before it's too late."
<Seraphna> "I've got no issues with that idea."
<Ariel> "Some day, I will... this whole time mess makes me hesitant. I... still don't know why the bond I had disappeared."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pauses, then grunts. "Fine. I'll do it, or die."
* Xanatos glances around, then steps out, moving through the halls of the base.
<Ariel> "It wasn't broken... it just stopped being there. I don't know what that means."
<Megumi> I... sort of do. I think you do, too.
<Myria> I know.
<Seraphna> "Whatever can help, where do we do this and how?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Odin leans back, studying Warren.
* Megumi sits on the floor in front of Ariel.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Odin as well. "And what do you want, Odin?"
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander eyes his watch. "We'll begin the process in two hours when I'm done juggling work."
<Xanatos> <Theron> I have nothing to do for the remainder of the time before this fight, and I do not know what to do with myself. It is most annoying.
<Seraphna> "Sure thing, on base or elsewhere?" *she recalls the facilities from the first time*
<DeathStar> <Alexander> We'll do it on my base.
<Myria> Hmmm...I don't know how to help you. *rocks on her heels*
<Xanatos> <Theron> What is it you plan to do?
<Xanatos> 6*There comes a knock at Katrina's door.
<Seraphna> "Alright, tell me how to get there or whatever..." *she rubs her head a little*
* Ariel shakes her head... she really isn't sure. The one possibility in mind she doesn't like.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Oh, I'm sure you remember quite well
<Megumi> The one you have a bond with... she's... elsewhere, that's why it's ceased to exist. The existence is not only out of place once, but twice. It's complicated.
<Myria> I don't know myself...everyone else seem to be arguing, scheming, or outright fighting.
<Seraphna> "Oh, that base."
<Seraphna> "I'd need a shuttle..."
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Quite arrangeable.
<Chad`Winters> <Odin> I want what any man of my position wants Warren. I want power. I want the knowledge of the cosmos.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina opens the door, looking distractred.
<Megumi> Erevis ...won't form one with you now because her time is short. It would be bad if it ceased to be in a time of need, right? I can't tell you when... I don't know either.
<Seraphna> "Then I'll expect your boys to pick me up?"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I catch you at a bad time?
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Of course.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yes.
<Seraphna> "Alright Alex, go organise chaos into order."
* Seraphna smiles.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren cocks an eyebrow.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Oh. Thought I would stop by and see if you wanted to talk. If you're busy though, I won't bother.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I ... have a lot on my mind.
<Chad`Winters> <Odin> Is there something wrong? 6He tilt shim slightly
* Ariel nods slowly, "There... is that."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I imagine so. If you want to talk about it...it might help.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Not very original. But fine.
<Xanatos> <Theron> Perhaps we can keep each other company until one or the other falls asleep?
<Chad`Winters> <Odin> I enjoy being a simple man now and than.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't think so, Marcus. 6* She offers him a consolatory smile
<Seraphna> * Jennifer creeps down the hall, her mind lost interest in the videogames rather quickly.
* Megumi puts a balled hand to her chest and sighs, then gazes up at Ariel. 1"Mother Knight, I have a request, basically."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yo. 6* She says to Xanatos as he passes her. She's leaning on a wall, arms crossed.
* Xanatos glances his head to Cheryl, he nods his head. "Yo yourself."
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander nods and moves off.
<Myria> Ok.
<Ariel> "What is it, Megumi?" *she can guess, but wants to hear it*
* Chad`Winters moves out of the room and glances down at his datapad
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods. "I'll see what can be done." 6* He clicks off.
<Megumi> Would you consider... myself?" 6She gulps. 1"I know I'm useless next to someone like Erevis..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl awkwardly rubs her arm, like she has something to say. "What's up?"
* Xanatos slides to a stop now, arching his brow. "You know, the usual impending doom and facing unimaginable odds. You?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eh. 6* She shrugs her shoulders.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I understand, Kat. We're...*he pauses* Just know that i'm here. If you need me. It's all I can do, right?
<Ariel> "You're far from useless Megumi. But... do you think you're ready for something like that?
<Xanatos> <Theron> Do you enjoy movies?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods. "Thank you, Marcus."
<Xanatos> *Marcus reaches up and places a hand on her shoulder, giving her a smile. "I won't be far." He pulls his hand back and turns to walk away.
<Xanatos> Something on your mind?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina shuts her door.
<Myria> I guess so...
* Chad`Winters steps into the Rec Room.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I just hadn't talked to you since your return. You know. 6* She eyes the floor.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya sits in the rec room quietly, since no one else is bothering her
<Seraphna> * Jennifer watches Chad pass her by, and slips back in herself.
<DeathStar> 6* Cadeceus walks around the medical bay.
* Megumi hangs her head slightly, sighing. 1"I don't know... All I can tell you is I'll give you everything I have and then more if necessary."
<Seraphna> * Jen sees Aya and smiles, then goes to sit on a couch quietly.
<Xanatos> Ah, yeah. *he gives a slight frown, before going back to a neutral face* I guess it's just lucky for me that I just can't seem to stay dead.
<Chad`Winters> Hey princess. 6He moves over and sits down beside her
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It should have been me. 6* She notes.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks at Chad. "Daddy."
<Megumi> I'm not Chad Winters with the perfect syncrate or whatever... But if it comes to will, I won't lose to anyone, not even Erevis.
* Seraphna bumps into Marcus.
* Chad`Winters slips his arm around her. 1"How ya feeling?"
<DeathStar> 6* Drake lays his head on the table.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya shrugs.
<Xanatos> Are you kidding? You had too much to lose, and you're a good person. You have a family, a son. I was the logical choice.
<Xanatos> <Theron> I am just to understand that movies are a good way to waste time, are they not?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts at family. "No, you're wrong there. I think you had more to lose."
<Myria> Humans are weird sometimes though.
<Megumi> 6Chii exits the meeting room finally, turning, not really remembering if it was left or right, walking along with her arms still crossed and peering at the ground.
<Chad`Winters> Somethings on your mind. 6He strokes her hair gently
<Xanatos> ...look Cheryl. My entire life I took what I wanted. I've killed people, innocent people, just for my own gain. It was finally time I wasn't so damn selfish, don't you think?
<DeathStar> <Aya> Yeah...
<Xanatos> *Marcus tilts his head. "Whoa, way to just step on my foot, there."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. And look where it got you, Durran.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes him.
* Seraphna blinks and notices him, blushing a bit. "Oh, Marcus, Hi."
<Xanatos> <Theron> You are correct, but I am at a lost, it is simply why I look toward's the humans for their guidance.
<Xanatos> It's only right that my life is the way it is. It's what I deserve.
<Chad`Winters> Somethings, just by talking about it with someone, can help you figure things out
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Time's ticking away. You feeling those jitters?
<DeathStar> 6* Aya shrugs again.
<Seraphna> * Jen sits reading a book, peeking up at the two from time to time.
* Myria shrugs.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She just snorts again and pulls away from the wall.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I just wanted to say I was sorry.
<Chad`Winters> You're thinking about what you'd wish for, right? 6He looks over at her.
<Seraphna> "A bit yeah... a whole lot to think about."
<DeathStar> <Aya> I think everyone is, Daddy. Aren't you?
* Xanatos gets a slight smile on his face. "Well I appreciate it. But you've got nothing to be sorry for."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> If you say so. I don't really believe it.
<Xanatos> Yeah? You could always accidentally kill Megumi for me. That would definitely help me out. *he smiles*
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Eh, it's really just easy if you think about it in black and white.
<Xanatos> <Theron> And it would appear that you are not helping me in this, either.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes him.
<Seraphna> "Is it?"
<Xanatos> Oh you know i'm kidding.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Well, unless you plan on betraying everyone to get your own super special wish. Then that would be more of a gray area.
* Ariel thinks on it for a long moment. "I'm not certain Megumi. I think you could make a fine partner, but you have a lot on your mind right now. And... in the upcoming battle, I don't know if there will be an opertunity for a guardian."
<Chad`Winters> I have Aya, but no matter who I choose, I'll either feel like I'm betraying someone or hurting someone else
<DeathStar> <Aya> Oh.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares at him a moment longer, then turns to walk on.
<Megumi> A 'guardian?'
* Xanatos smirks and turns to walk on.
<Myria> I live to frustrate!
<Chad`Winters> Than there's the thought of what it could cost us.
<DeathStar> <Aya> ... 6* She peers at Chad silently.
<Xanatos> <Theron> Then you truly fulfill your life goal.
<Chad`Winters> Tell me sweety. What would you wish for?
<DeathStar> 6* Aya shrugs.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer closes her eyes and closes her book, shaking a little.
* Ariel eyes Megumi, then shakes her head. She figured Megumi would actually learn to remember what her people called their warriors, compared to what the humans called their creations.
<Myria> Yay!
* Seraphna smiles at Marcus. "No... I just plan to win."
<Chad`Winters> more toys? 6He looks at her, a weak smile on his face.
<DeathStar> <Aya> ... No.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Good thing, if you planned to lose, I totally wouldn't be fighting near you.
<Seraphna> "Heh... good."
<Seraphna> "Hey Marcus?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl enters the training room, taking her frustrations out on a punching bag.
<Chad`Winters> If I could think of a wish that would make everyone happy, I'd make it.
<DeathStar> <Aya> I don't think there is such a wish, Dad.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Yeah?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stands in there already, kicking away at a bag, furiously.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren sits in his office. He pulls out his guitar, leaning back in his seat with it. He plucks the strings.
* Megumi studies Ariel during the silence, then shakes her head. 1"It's as I said. I know very little, Mother Knight, except that the others think they will need all that each of us can give to make it through the next hours. If I can assist you in doing that, I'll offer anything I can. Even if I must learn your etiquette in doing so." 6She smiles softly, but nervous. Is the last bit a joke, or serious?
<Seraphna> "In case something bad happens... I'm glad we're friends. Kay?"
<Chad`Winters> I don't think I deserve to decide what wish to make, which is why I'll fight for your wish Aya.
<Xanatos> <Theron> Hmmm. Perhaps we could pass the time 'making-out'. I read that it is often done to pass the time.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya is silent.
<Megumi> 6Chii pauses after passing a door, and backs up quickly. Spying through the narrow opening on Ariel and Megumi.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Yeah i'm totally going to pretend I didn't just hear that.
* Seraphna blinks a little in surprise.
<Seraphna> "R-Right, cuz nothing bad will happen, right?"
<Chad`Winters> I also want you with me. I'm not going to risk someone using you against me Aya.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya glances at Chad like he's crazy
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Of course not. It's going to be hard. But everything will work out, it always does.
<Myria> ...making out?
* Seraphna nods and smiles, and hugs him tight.
* Ariel nods. "There are two battles which must be fought ahead..." She shakes her head, "I will speak to Erevis. I wish to have her opinion on things first."
* Xanatos finally emerges onto the roof, glancing around.
* Chad`Winters stares down at the floor, his eyes focused.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis meditates on the roof.
<Megumi> I'm well aware, Mother Knight.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Um. But everyone is going to be attacking this place. Like. Everyone.
<Xanatos> <Theron> I read about it in a novel. It is simply just a large amount of time spent kissing one another.
* Megumi stares studiously at Ariel, having lost the nervousness. 1"The bitter one will not be against the moths gathering, but instead that being Legion. The one I want to destroy most of all."
<Xanatos> 6*Marcus pauses and then kisses her on the cheek. "It's going to be some time, eh?"
* Xanatos steps up and sits down beside Erevis.
<Chad`Winters> I know Aya.
<Myria> ..why?
<Seraphna> "Definately."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya stares at Chad oddly, then at the floor herself.
<Seraphna> "I'll try to check back with you before we go out to save the universe kay? I've got something to take care of first."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Right, right. Later. *he steps back and then moves to walk past her, giving her a wink*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shows no acknowledgement of Xanatos.
<Chad`Winters> I don't know anymore Aya. I'm not sure how to handle any of this anymore.
<DeathStar> <Aya> ...
<Megumi> This is the second reason I have approached you about this, Mother Knight. Alone I can't... If together we can be rid of Legion and the dark one Asmodeus... Then the wish I don't need, since my only remaining request would be as good as yours.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren lays the guitar down, then grabs his comm, dialing Freyja's number. He waits.
<Xanatos> <Theron> I...well the two simply are attracted to each other and I assume they want to spend time with each other caught up into a moment of passion.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer shuffles out of the rec room and heads for her Dad's office.
<Ariel> "...then we have one of the same goals."
<Megumi> 6There's a pause, which is unusual for Freyja, but she answers, in a decidedly non-giggly manner. 1"Hello?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias kicks the bag with enough force to cause it to knock back
<DeathStar> <Warren> What is your intentions?
<Myria> Whyyyy?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl doesn't react to Dias' abuse of the bag, just working on punching the bag with her normal level strength
<Xanatos> I figured I would find you up here. *he says finally, after a long bit of silent sitting*
* Chad`Winters leans against Aya. He moves his hands to his face, rubbing it
<Xanatos> <Theron> I do not know. Are you asking why they would do that, or why I would suggest it?
<DeathStar> 6* Aya pauses, then gives her dad a hug.
<Megumi> <Freyja> My intentions? Whatever do you mean?
<DeathStar> <Warren> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis doesn't reply at first, probably in a deep meditation.
<Megumi> 6An exasperated huff channels through the comm, followed by a sharp grunt and a thud.
<Megumi> <Freyja> There we go. What now? Intentions? Oh. Right.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren checks the status of the soldiers
<Myria> Both!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps back and plants his left foot and when the back swings back, drives his shin into it, sending it flying up even further.
<Megumi> <Freyja> There's lots of sneaky children around, you know? The adults aren't keeping everyone out, but I'm not going to let a bunch of brats play around in the forbidden zones.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I see.
<Xanatos> <Theron> I simply did not understand and desired to determine the reasons for it. I am attracted to you, so that is why I suggested it to you. I assure you, this is for research purposes.
* Seraphna takes a seat in the conference room, holding her head.
<Megumi> <Freyja> I suppose Chii probably babbled a bit, huh? This place is important to me, yes.
<Chad`Winters> I'll wish for whatever you want Aya. 6He lowers his hands and look over at her.
<DeathStar> <Warren> She does that.
<Megumi> <Freyja> Loudmouth.
<DeathStar> <Aya> ... Oh.
<DeathStar> <Warren> The team wants to know if they have to shoot you.
<Megumi> <Freyja> You mean I get a choice this time?
<DeathStar> <Warren> You stay out of our way, we don't shoot you.
* Myria stares at Theron.
<Megumi> <Freyja> Hrmph. How do I know you aren't a shapeshifter?
<DeathStar> <Warren> If you want to go that route, it'll just end with me shooting you.
* Xanatos sighs once and glances toward her. "I keep thinking about it, over and over again. Did I really make the right choice? I was a selfish prick all of my life, always taking what I thought I deserved. But just this one time, I didn't. And looks how things all turn out?"
<Megumi> <Freyja> I'm just being realistic. I'm not sure what those things are, but even I can't tell the difference most times.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps forward and shifts his feet back, he plants both his feet and slams his shoulder into the bag, causing him to take one step back.
<DeathStar> <Warren> As am I.
<Xanatos> <Theron> Unless you wanted it to be more than just research. *he frowns*
<Megumi> <Freyja> You're the brilliant one. I'm just a brat. Just a gatekeeper. Give me the right sign, I'll open the way.
<Myria> I'm confused now!
* Megumi peers toward Ariel, tilting her head. 1"Only one, Mother Knight?"
<Xanatos> <Theron> ...perhaps I should just go check over my weapons.
* Myria snickers.
<DeathStar> <Warren> *grunts* Just leave things to my people. I don't want you interfering at all.
<Megumi> <Freyja> How sweet of you.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is silent.
<Xanatos> *Theron tilts his head. "Are you...'toying' with me?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren says nothing to that.
<Seraphna> * Jen nears his office door and stands there, thinking a little.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias sighs and steps back, rotating his shoulder.
<Myria> Am I?
<Megumi> <Freyja> Play a little, wouldn't you?
<Chad`Winters> We'll get the wish Aya, I promise that much.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I'm tired of playing.
<Xanatos> Just think if I let Cheryl take the fall. Sure, I would feel horrible for that, but for how long? Eventually I would get over it, right? And then how would my life turn out? I would be with you, I would be happy...I would have everything I ever wanted. Would that really make me the bad person that I think I would have been? *he shakes his head, sighing*
<Megumi> <Freyja> I take it back, you're a cruel devil.
<DeathStar> <Aya> ... But I don't know if I want the wish.
<Ariel> "...There are two things I hope to achieve out of this. Elimination of those two is only the first."
<Xanatos> <Theron> ...it would appear so. Perhaps you should get some rest, Miss Myria. *he turns to walk off*
<DeathStar> <Warren> You're beginning to understand.
* Chad`Winters looks over at Aya now. A curious look on his face.
<Megumi> You want to bring Zephyr back.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer knocks on Warren's door.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya shifts.
<Megumi> <Freyja> Then play like the devil.
* Ariel nods.
<DeathStar> <Warren> As I said. I don't play.
<Megumi> Do we not share two, then?
<Myria> Wait a minute? What do you expect from someone lacking any emotional maturity?
<Chad`Winters> You've grown Aya.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis opens her eyes, glancing at Xanatos.
<Megumi> <Freyja> Hm, and here I thought I heard strings resonating. Must be getting old.
<Xanatos> *Theron glances over his shoulder. "I expect nothing from someone like that. As I do not know someone like that."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren clicks off the comm, then looks at the ceiling. "Enter."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks startled. "Huh?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias glances down at his knuckles. He then returns to pounding away at the bag, sweat building up on hi, again
<Myria> Then what am I?
<Seraphna> * Jennifer walks in quietly.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl exhausts herself finally, eyeing Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren says nothing.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer moves over and takes her usual seat.
* Xanatos pauses and frowns. "You heard that?" He sighs, "I was just venting, I didn't think you would hear...meditating and all."
<Ariel> "If you see it as such, prehaps it is true."
<Chad`Winters> I'm proud of you Aya, I always will be.
<DeathStar> <Aya> You're proud...? 6* She just sounds more confused now.
* Megumi stares at Ariel. 1"If I see it that way? Maybe it's not I that's unsure..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head. "Perhaps you should vent alone, if that is the case."
<Megumi> I'm sorry, Mother Knight. I must be more unreliable than I thought.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Everything... going alright Dad?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias spins around, slamming his elbow into it the bag. He snaps his free hand and grabs the top of the bag and pulls himself up and slams his knee into the top of the bag
<Xanatos> <Theron> I have seen your maturity before. I do not understand why you choose to hide it, but I know of the person you can be. Perhaps my only request is that you grow up, act your age.
<Ariel> "You seemed to have other goals, when last we spoke."
<Myria> I'm only 76 terrestial years.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stands. "I am going to recruit two people."
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Recruit?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren just walks out.
<Xanatos> Yeah, I guess it just helped to talk about it in your presence...*he falls silent, glancing off to the side*
<Seraphna> * Jennifer follows after him curiously.
* Chad`Winters pulls Aya in, kissing her on the side of her head. 1"I'm going to get some water, you want anything?"
<DeathStar> 6* Aya shakes her head.
<Xanatos> <Theron> Yes. Perhaps I am just seeing things that are not there.
<Megumi> Yes, Mother Knight. I spoke up, saying that protecting my homeworld would be possible. I felt that would be expected of me. My only other goal is to protect Erevis and those around us-- I feel that is something we can share as well.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies him, then looks out. "Though your death hurt, your decision was honorable and noble. You should not regret that."
<Megumi> In time, with my own power, I will find a way to help my people.
<Chad`Winters> Alright. 6He stands up and moves out of the rec room.
* Seraphna sighs after a bit and gets up, deciding to take a walk around the base.
<Myria> Huh?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs a towel and moves to walk out of the training room
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias shoves off the bag and lands in a croch. He twists, planting his foot and swings upwards with his other foot, slamming it into the bag
<DeathStar> 6* Darien bumps into Seraphna, having returned from somewhere.
* Xanatos shakes his head. "My regret isn't my decision...well, I guess it may be. It's just...one decision, ruined my life. Well it quite literally took it away, but...you know what I mean.
* Seraphna blinks and looks up at him. "Hey."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yo.
<Xanatos> <Theron> I have seen you in your moments of portraying your Aunt. You are completely different, mature. Is that not really you?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren gets into a vehicle, cranking it up.
<Seraphna> "I'm heading out soon."
* Ariel nods slowly, "I... will speak to Erevis then."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Oh?
<Seraphna> * Jennifer goes to get in with him.
<Seraphna> "Alexander offered some more gene therapy, I'm taking the offer."
<Xanatos> If I get to make the wish, it won't be for Zephyr. I hope you understand.
<Myria> No, that's my aunt.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Then you will have to understand that I will not allow you to get the wish.
* Megumi pouts suddenly. 1"..I... I don't require Erevis' permission to act of my own will.."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Is that so? Interesting.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren drives along.
<Xanatos> Oh I know. But if I do, I just don't want you to be dissappointed.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You will not.
<Seraphna> * Jenn looks at Warren as he drives.
<Xanatos> <Theron> I see. Then I apologize for putting such pressures on someone as young as yourself. *he shifts enough to bow before turning to walk away*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes the road.
<Seraphna> "Quite." *she smiles a little* "How'd your thing go?"
<Myria> Ummm...don't feel bad. *waves her arms and follows*
<DeathStar> <Darien> That's a funny question considering our situation.
* Ariel nods, "I know... but I'd still like to hear from her, what her thoughts are. That bond was never properly broken... I want her thoughts on the matter as a friend."
* Chad`Winters moves past Darien and Angela. He nods at Darien as he passes
<Xanatos> <Theron> I do not feel 'bad'. Just ashamed.
<Seraphna> "Got little else to talk about."
* Megumi nods slowly, then bows deeply and turns to go. 1"Very well.."
<Myria> ...but why...?
<Megumi> 6Chii winces and darts away from the door before she's spotted.
<Xanatos> <Theron> For being so rude.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps back, panting now, he let's his arms hang loosely
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods.
* Xanatos tilts his head to look at her. "I guess you'll kick my ass if I try it, then?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm just getting things set up so Ariel can win the wish the best I can provide.
<Seraphna> "I'll hopefully be able to help."
<Xanatos> 6*Marcus glances down at Chii, who runs right into him.
* Seraphna smiles softly.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will do whatever it takes. 6* She notes, her tone calm, but the threat there.
<DeathStar> <Darien> So, you want to wish Zephyr back, too? 6* He sounds doubtful.
* Ariel picks up her comm, and contacts Erevis
<Xanatos> Right. I should've known. *he smirks*
<Myria> Ok...now I'm confused.
<Megumi> 6Chii backs up and stares up at Marcus. Megumi exits Ariel's room and stares at the two, then moves off.
<Seraphna> "Why wouldn't I? She was my Dragoon, a sister to me, and one of the few friends I've ever had..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I just assumed you'd gun for someone like Spade or John.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Well gee, Chii-Chii. If you wanted to touch me, all you had to do was ask.
* Seraphna sighs, "I'd never wish for Spade back... John... well..."
* Seraphna sighs and sticks her tounge out. "I want to help, kay?"
<Xanatos> <Theron> I do not see what is so confusing.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head as something on her makes a noise. She looks confused, then feels along herself until she locates a comm she didn't realize she had. She turns it on. "Yes?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, it's just that you and Zephyr didn't get along well. Well, Zephyr with her memories. And that might be the one we get back.
<Megumi> 6Chii scowls and punches at Marcus' gut
* Seraphna looks a bit distant. "Yeah... I guess..."
<Ariel> <comm> "It's Ariel. I'd like to speak to you, when you have a moment."
<Xanatos> 6*Marcus grunts and steps back, "Huh, I thought that would hurt more."
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC steps into the Rec Room and sits down in her chair. She opens her drawing book and begins drawing in it
* Seraphna sighs a bit. "I don't know... maybe I should just help out and not go for a wish, I can't trust myself."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I understand ... where would you like to meet?
<Myria> Maybe not to you...but to me...I just don't understand...
<DeathStar> <Darien> Maybe so, Angela.
<Xanatos> <Theron> What is it that you do not understand?
<Megumi> <Chii> ...I can make it hurt more if you like it that way.
<Myria> Any of it...
<DeathStar> 6* Warren pulls up in front of the Arakawa residence. He turns off the car and gets out.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Nah, i'm one of those sensitive fellows.
<Seraphna> * Jen follows him out of the car.
<Xanatos> <Theron> Then perhaps it would be best to just drop it.
* Seraphna smiles at Darien. "You do what you need to do for Ariel."
<Myria> ...ok...
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps out of training room. He moves off to the messhall
<DeathStar> 6* Warren approaches the front door and knocks on the door.
<Ariel> <comm> "Someplace outside. I could use some air."
<DeathStar> <Darien> You know it. She can get scary.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am on the roof.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake is still in the messhall, face on the table.
<Xanatos> <Theron> It would be logical to begin getting oneself mentally prepared for the battle.
* Seraphna grins a little.
<Ariel> <comm> "Alright. I'll meet you there."
<Seraphna> * Jennifer stands behind Warren a little.
<Myria> ...ok...
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves over and grabs some food then plops down across from Drake. He drops his tray onto the table.
* Chad`Winters moves into the messhall and grabs some water. He moves back out
* Xanatos watches Erevis. "You expecting company soon?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Ariel is coming.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis places the comm back onto her tactical suit.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake doesn't react.
<Xanatos> Ariel, eh? That must mean it's important. I wonder if that means I should go.
* Ariel heads to the roof, somewhat lost in thought. There's a lot on her mind right now.
<Seraphna> "Well... good luck Darien."
<DeathStar> <Darien> You too, Angela.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I think it would be best. 6* She inclines her head apologetically.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren waits for one of the Arakawas to answer.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *opens the door*
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias tilts his head and reaches over. Nudging Drakes head.
<Xanatos> <Theron> You must be cautious, and trust no one once the battle begins. The greed of the humans will overcome and everything will turn to ruin.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake grabs Dias' hand, lifting his head up.
<Megumi> <Chii> ....Right.
<Myria> I understand.
<Megumi> 6Chii gives Marcus an odd look, then moves to step around him.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren stares at Special Guest Appearance Cassandra Arakawa. "May I enter?"
* Seraphna leans up and kisses his cheek, and continues on her walk.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You alright man?
<DeathStar> <Drake> Yeah.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> You're not being chased by the army or a legion of Dark Ones, are you?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Not yet.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias waits for Drake to let his hand go. 1"You sleeping?"
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> ...come on in. *eyes the area*
<DeathStar> 6* Drake lets go. "No."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Than can I ask what you were doing?
* Xanatos nods and frowns, he then leans forward to wrap and arm around her, giving her a hug. "I don't know if I'll get to tell you before it begins. But be careful. And don't worry about me, my wants won't kill me." He breaks the hug and stands.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer smiles a little and waves her greeting.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren steps inside. Billy eyes him the ceiling.
<Xanatos> <Theron> That means not even me. I trust there will be shapeshifters in this battle, and I can not have you lowering your guard for even me.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis watches him go.
<Myria> Ok.
<Seraphna> * Jen steps in after him.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna isn't seen. Warren being there means trouble.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> What's going on?
<DeathStar> <Warren> I need you. You saw the vision. Soon, Earth will be a battlefield for the Progenitor gift.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks at her. "This might be bigger than anything we've faced before."
* Xanatos glances at her and it looks like he wants to say something. He pauses and frowns. "I...well if something should happen to me. Just know I love you. That's one thing that'll always be certain when it comes to me." He turns now and steps off of the roof.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shifts her gaze toward the rooftop now.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> ...why me? What do I bring that your current team doesn't have?
<DeathStar> <Warren> 1 billion in technology and weaponary.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Tactics and strategy. Years of military experience.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...you're forgetting charm and good looks."
<Xanatos> *Theron stops at the his room and shifts his gaze to Myria. "You are welcome to join me, but I must inform you that I will most likely just lay myself down to rest."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Thinking.
* Ariel passes Xanatos and steps out onto the roof.
<Seraphna> Warren> "And cans so large gods will weep."
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> Ok, ok...fine.
* Xanatos just nods to Ariel, she never did like him.
* Myria shuffles after Theron.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren recovers from his brain cancer.
<Xanatos> 6*Marcus whistles as Chii walks around him, he glances over his shoulder. "How come you're not with Cheryl?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> About?
<DeathStar> <Warren> If we fail, who knows what will be left of Tokyo, much left of Earth.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I know you two retired, but I will feel better if you were on this assignment.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> What do you need me to do?
<Megumi> <Chii> She... didn't like what I had to say.
<DeathStar> <Warren> We guess that millions of people are going to be going after the gift. Including Dark Ones. We need you to help us stop an onslaught.
<Xanatos> *Theron steps into his room and moves into a side room, apparently he is going to change.
<DeathStar> <Billy> *mumbles something* We're all in big trouble.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands and turns to face Ariel, inclining her head. "Ariel."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Yeah that happens sometimes. It sucks pretty bad, doesn't it?
<Seraphna> * Jennifer nods quietly.
<DeathStar> <Drake> The gifyt.
<Megumi> <Chii> Sucks major.
* Myria flops on to the bed.
* Chad`Winters moves back into the Rec Room.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> That's a tall order.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I wouldn't be here if it wasn't necessary.
* Ariel bows her head, "Erevis." She goes and rests at the edge of the roof. "How are you doing?"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> No matter what I do, I can't get close to Kat. It seems that one time that I had...I missed.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "We're looking at non-lethal, or threat interception?"
<Megumi> <Chii> I could always talk to her.
<DeathStar> <Warren> We're going non-lethal with the civilians. The Dark Ones, we're going to eliminate.
<Xanatos> *Theron steps back out and pauses then moves over to sit down in a chair.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Is see. So what do you plan on wishing for?
<DeathStar> 6* Aya is still sitting there, contemplating.
* Seraphna shakes her head a little as she finishes another rounds and sits near the front, playing with her datapad.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake glances at Dias, then the table. "It's personal."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> No. That won't help anything, she just doesn't feel anything, I already know.
<Megumi> <Chii> Ouch, way to trust.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits beside Ariel. "I am in good health."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Nothing about trust. I may have had a chance before, but that time is gone. I'm just her friend now.
<Megumi> <Chii> So what? Just give up?
<Megumi> <Chii> Doesn't sound like you want to.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Your family, right?
<Seraphna> * Jennifer looks at the three quietly.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake looks at Dias awkwardly. "I---yeah. I guess I can only bring one of them back."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> What if you wished for loved ones?
<DeathStar> <Drake> If it works that way...
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I'm going to be there for her when she needs me, and maybe over time, she'll realize that i'm more mature than I let on. Eh?
<Megumi> <Chii> So you'll grow old and hope she gets over it?
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> "...alright...when's the fun begin?
<Xanatos> *Theron rests his head back and closes his eyes, it appears he is going to be a gentleman and let Myria have his bed.
<Ariel> "Megumi has approached me about taking over as my partner... I wished to know your thoughts on the matter."
* Myria alreayd curled up and asleep.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks at his watch. "19 hours. I will have people pick you up in 17 hours so we can prepare."
<Megumi> <Chii> Tell me something, Marcus." 6She turns, reaching back and unholstering one of her guns.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head. "Would that not be your decision?"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Yeah? *he tilts his head*
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> Do you have gear for me?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I don't know what I'd wish for if it came down to it. I thought about bringing back John, but I think he wouldn't want me to bring him back over someone like Zephyr. That or he'd rather me wish for the ability that all woman would want to sleep with me.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake stares.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> I'll track down Setsuna for you then.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Boobs. 6He nods
<DeathStar> 6* Warren just ... nods.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake keeps staring at Dias like he's insane.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *salutes Warren*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren salutes back.
<Ariel> 6* Setsuna shrugs to Warren, then waves.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> We will report by the deadline, sir.
<Megumi> 6Chii approaches Marcus with a curious expression, holding the gun before her.
<DeathStar> <Warren> Thank you... 6* He looks somewhat relieved and steps out.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I guess I haven't thought about it. I guess I have to take down everyone before I'd get to that point.
<Seraphna> * Jen heads after him.
<Xanatos> *Marcus just watches her.
<Megumi> 6Chii steps up close to Marcus and leans up to peer closely at his face, but plants the gun barrel on the top of his left knee.
<Megumi> <Chii> Are you serious about her?
<Ariel> "I... think she has great potential. Though I worry she may be too unfocused with how things are... What are your thoughts on the matter?"
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> Sets...why do you have to ninja sneak likw that? Now I feel like a total tool.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Hmph. You being protective, are you?
<DeathStar> <Billy> But, aren't you a tool, mommy?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I believe Megumi Zhenmei is capable of anything that is thrown her way.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> *pinches the bridge of her nose*
* Xanatos steps into the rec room, since he can't seem to find a place for himself, he sits down and props his legs up, glancing up at the ceiling.
<Seraphna> Jen> "So they're gonna fight with us, this is great."
* Chad`Winters sits down on the couch beside Aya and opens his water. He takes a drink from it
<Ariel> Setsuna> "Hey... can't blaim me this time Cass, I was talking to him with you here."
<Megumi> 6Chii takes out her second gun and plants it on Marcus' other kneecap.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks at Chad. "Are you going to wish for Zephyr back?"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You look into my eyes and tell me i'm not. And it'll be new to me. *he says simply*
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts, getting into the car.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake rubs the back of his head
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'd just rather not have to fight my own friends.
<DeathStar> <Drake> Then don't go for the gift.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Super heroes don't do that.
<Seraphna> * Jen gets in with him. "Dad?"
<DeathStar> 6* Warren glances at her.
<Megumi> 6Chii stares into Marcus' eyes for a while, then leans back and nods, turning and holstering both guns at the same time. 1"Whatever, you pansy."
<Seraphna> Jen> "I didn't mean... well... to have you let that out in front of everyone..."
<DeathStar> <Warren> Then don't ask questions in public
<Seraphna> Jen> "Alright."
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> My auditory sensor on that side of my head has been cutting out lately.
<Seraphna> Jen> "I'm sorry... Dad."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes her.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Right. I'll keep your mean name calling in mind when it comes time for me to save your ass.
<Megumi> <Chii> You do that." 6Heads for Katrina's room.
* Chad`Winters looks over at Aya as he sets his water down. 1"If I did that, than I'd be betraying Eve. If I wished for Eve, I'd be betraying Zephyr."
<Seraphna> * Jen looks back at him.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Then you're not going to go for the gift?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> You'd better not say anything. Promise me. She has too much on her mind for any of my crap.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren drives.
<Chad`Winters> No, I am.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "We should get that looked at before tomorrow then." *frowns*
<DeathStar> <Aya> Then what will you wish for?
<Megumi> 6Chii turns, giving a sinister grin. 1"I'm not promising you anything."
<Chad`Winters> I don't know yet.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> The blue girl is probably there.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya peers at him, then at the wall.
<Ariel> Setsuna> "...she still creeps me out."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> I'm serious, Chii. Please don't.
<DeathStar> <Billy> You could go for the gift and wish for a better sensor.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks out over the parking lot.
<Seraphna> * Jen looks down, "You were right... work to do."
* Ariel sighs, "This whole matter... it's troubling."
<Megumi> <Chii> Hrmph. I'm not going to ask her to like you. Get over yourself.
<Chad`Winters> If I can, I'll wish for both.
* Seraphna taps away boredly.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Ariel, then away, frowning.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Ha. Ha. *he turns and walks off*
<DeathStar> <Aya> Something tells me you won't get both.
<Chad`Winters> Yeah, nothing comes easy.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am sure Megumi Zhenmei will understand if you decline.
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> I'd wiish the blue girl wasn't so freaky so she could fix my body without weirding Setsuna out.
<DeathStar> <Billy> Lame-o.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya shifts in her seat.
<Megumi> 6Chii knocks on Katrina's door.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina opens it after a while, still appearing just as distracted. "Yes, Chii?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Wishing to be a superhero is pointless since I'm already one. 6He shrugs and shovels food in his mouth
<Myria> 6<14Cassandra6> Uh-huh.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren returns to the base and gets out of the car. He pauses, and pops three vicodin
<DeathStar> <Drake> Like I said. Don't go for the gift.
<Megumi> <Chii> Hey sweetie. Want to get naked and horizontal?
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stares blankly. "Huh?"
<Seraphna> * Jen gets out with him and seems to be slowly shaking away that lack of confidence.
<Megumi> 6Chii reaches out and tugs on both of Katrina's cheeks. 1"I said you want to have sex until morning?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Look, I'm not an idiot. I know what your doing. Convince as many people to not go for the gift so that you can get it easier.
<DeathStar> 6* Drake just looks annoyed. "Right." 6* He stands up, and grabs his own food tray.
* Seraphna appears to be guarding the doorway.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina shifts away, not looking pleased. "Chii..." 6* Her tone doesn't sound humorous
<Megumi> <Chii> Good, you're paying attention now.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ...
* Chad`Winters takes another drink of his water and sets it down, twisting the bottle.
<Megumi> 6Chii waves a hand dismissingly. 1"Marcus totally sucks at being serious, but he wouldn't back down over you with guns lodged against both kneecaps. I'm pretty sure he regrets fucking up. So. Don't hate him or whatever. I've had enough emo time, so I'm going to go fuck things up between me and Cheryl some more, 'kay?" 6Thumbs up.
<Ariel> "I didn't mean just that... this whole wish situation." *shakes her head* "I plan to take advantage of it, but... it's a dangerous game."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stares at her.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I understand. But... 6* She doesn't say anything. After all, her actions put this into play.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You cannot bring back the dead easily, Ariel.
<Megumi> 6Chii hugs Katrina, laughs totally ungenuinely since her emotions are a mess, and walks off.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina watches her go, and shuts her door.
* Xanatos starts whistling, which probably breaks up the nice silence that Chad and Aya have going for them.
<Chad`Winters> I'll figure it out by tomorrow.
* Seraphna makes no move to bug Warren if he heads in, she seems to be scanning the sky and daydreaming.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks back at Xanatos.
<Chad`Winters> 6SPoC looks up at Xanatos, tilting her head
<DeathStar> 6* Warren walks past Angela with no reaction
<Seraphna> * Jenn follows after her father.
<Ariel> "...you were looking for something to do it. If the ability to alter reality cannot do it, then what could?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> This can do it. It is why...I am gambling much on it.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is the only solution I can think of at this time.
* Xanatos pauses and stops. "I bothering you folks?"
* Ariel nods slowly, looking down.
<Xanatos> *Marcus finds himself in the training room, he doesn't beat on anything, he just takes a seat against the wall.
<Chad`Winters> <SPoC> You're whistling does not affect my drawing.
* Chad`Winters just grunts.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I wish to.... bring you some measure of happiness.
<Seraphna> Jenn> "I'm gonna go train for a bit Dad."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks at Xanatos oddly
<DeathStar> 6* Warren nods.
<Xanatos> Good. *he starts to whistle again*
<DeathStar> <Aya> It bothers me...
<Ariel> "Thank you, Erevis... I fear if this doesn't work, the universe will only continue to torment me about it."
* Xanatos pauses and stops. "Oh." He stands. "Sorry about that." He moves to step out.
<Seraphna> * Jen heads to the training room.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis touches Ariel's shoulder.
<Xanatos> *Marcus glances up at Jen as she walks in.
<Chad`Winters> I'm going to go have a talk with Warren. You gonna be fine by yourself? 6He looks over at her
<DeathStar> 6* Aya nods.
<Chad`Winters> Alright. 6He stands up, grabbing his water. He moves out
<Seraphna> * Jen blinks at Marcus and waves a little, before moving to one of the training bags.
<Xanatos> *Marcus just gives a wave.
<DeathStar> 6* A shuttle lands in the parking lot.
* Seraphna stands up, putting away her datapad.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien passes Xanatos. "What, not putting your master plan in action and banging Erevis?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis then pulls Ariel into a hug, albeit awkward.
<Xanatos> Your chick cock-blocked me.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Is that where she went...
<DeathStar> 6* Darien frowns.
* Chad`Winters moves down the hallway.
<Seraphna> * Jen starts to half heartidly go through her routine.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren enters his office.
* Seraphna fixes her hair and heads to the shuttle.
<Xanatos> She's on the roof, if you want to drag her away. Then I could get back to my master plan.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'll pass.
* Ariel returns the hug. She's more vulnerable than she lets on right now. Well, except to Chii. Chii knows all about it.
<Xanatos> Lame, it feels like you're doing this just to spite me.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Why would I do that?
<DeathStar> 6* The shuttle ramp lowers before Angela.
<Xanatos> Because you think it's funny?
* Seraphna looks in before climbing aboard.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander sits there, working on his notes. The ramp rises and the shuttle takes off.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Oh, yeah. Wooo. I sure get my jollies on you not getting laid.
* Seraphna takes a seat and sighs, closing her eyes a bit before buckling in. "So how's chaos?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl enters her office finally with some rocket fuel. She sits down and drinks it.
* Chad`Winters stops infront of Warrens Office door and knocks on it. He goes to open it before he can respond
<DeathStar> <Alexander> We've already had thousands of people trying to rush the military forces and it's not even time yet.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren eyes Chad.
* Chad`Winters shuts the door behind him and moves over, sitting down. 1"So you planned on hiding this until you died?"
* Xanatos smirks. "So how do you think this will turn out, honestly?"
<Seraphna> "I see, any casualties?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> A few.
<Seraphna> "Mmm, so blood won't quell the masses."
<DeathStar> <Darien> A lot of deaths. A wish granted. Chaos. Some evil aftermath. Dark Ones. Legion.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You know. Typical stuff.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Unlikely.
<Xanatos> You think any of those deaths will be from our group?
<Seraphna> "A lot of people are likely going to die when Legion shows himself."
<DeathStar> <Darien> A good possibility.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Fact.
<Megumi> 6A 'pssst' comes from beneath Cheryl's desk.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just kicks out under her desk
* Megumi sneaks up behind Ariel, peering at Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis releases Ariel from the hug finally. "Megumi Zhenmei."
<Megumi> 6A thud and a smack of something against the desk underside. 1"Agh! Goddamnit."
<Xanatos> Seems kind of stupid to me. All this death over one person.
<DeathStar> <Darien> It was going to happen to no matter what. I'd just prefer we get our wish instead of someone else.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Like, you.
* Seraphna rubs her head a bit. "Got a speech prepared in case the world doesn't end?"
<DeathStar> <Alexander> I'm sure the Acting-President will come up with something
<Xanatos> <Xanatos> Trust me, my wish is the least of your worries.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl drinks her rocket fuel, eyeing the desk for more pssts.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Doubtful. If it wastes a wish, it wastes a wish.
<DeathStar> <Darien> But I'm sure Erevis will keep you in line
* Ariel looks back at Megumi and nods, "Hello Megumi."
<Megumi> 6Chii pokes her head from under the desk, above Cheryl's knees, glaring. 1"That hurt."
<Xanatos> She pretty much threatened to kill me over it, or at least beat me until I can't move.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then don't hide under my fucking desk
<DeathStar> <Darien> There you go.
* Seraphna smiles a little. "I'm sure."
<Megumi> <Chii> I wasn't hiding.
<Chad`Winters> And telling me the truth was out of the question too?
<DeathStar> <Warren> Yes.
<Chad`Winters> Why?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts.
<DeathStar> <Warren> You're annoying.
<Xanatos> I honestly don't have anything to wish for. So if I got it, I would probably just wish for Zephyr, since that's what Erevis wants.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien just smiles.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Of course.
* Megumi hugs Ariel from behind. Going with the flow.
<Seraphna> "How is your running mate's campaign going by the way?"
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Good. Until now.
<Seraphna> "Mmm."
<Chad`Winters> Fair enough, but I'm also a man of rationality.
<Xanatos> Though I wonder how fucked up things will be if I wish to go back into time. *he whistles at that, tapping his chin*
<Megumi> 6Chii moves out from under the desk and sits on its edge, eyeing the rocket fuel.
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... 6* He eyes Xanatos. The hallway is empty of witnesses...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl doesn't offer it. She just downs it all and throws away the empty bottle, leaning her head back and letting the drunkeness swirl.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts.
<Chad`Winters> So how long do you have?
<DeathStar> <Warren> A few months. A year most.
* Xanatos eyes Darien and glances around. "I wonder if you realize that there are only about 4 of you that is going for the Zephyr wish. Chad is to broken between Eve and Zephyr to choose, and Sera is about as trustworthy as me.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm well aware.
<Chad`Winters> How many pills you at now?
<DeathStar> <Warren> As many as needed.
<Xanatos> Then there is all of Warren's group, I mean. The odds are really stacked against you.
<Seraphna> "May I ask a question Alex?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Don't tell me the odds.
* Megumi gazes past the quiet Ariel at Erevis. 1"Beloved, may we continue the teaching?"
<DeathStar> <Alexander> You can ask if you want.
<Seraphna> "Why help me?"
<DeathStar> <Alexander> That's obvious.
<Xanatos> Fair enough. I'm just saying, you could really use my help, and you could really stand to trust that I have no ill intentions.
<Megumi> 6Katrina receives a message!
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Megumi. "Not today."
* Seraphna tilts her head. "I suppose it is. I just don't see how you're benefitting... forgive me if I'm a little suspicious."
<Chad`Winters> So you're going to be going all out now than?
<Megumi> But ...There's no time..
* Megumi hangs her head slightly.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Indeed.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina doesn't check it
<DeathStar> <Alexander> We can always turn around
* Seraphna smiles a little. "No, we're fine."
<DeathStar> 6* Warren considers
<DeathStar> <Warren> I have nothing to lose.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander nods.
<Xanatos> Well how about this. You can count on me to help you. I stand to lose much more if I try to betray you and get my own wish. Even if I did wish for Erevis to be only mine. Who is to say that one day she won't figure it out and then i'll lose her forever, right?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Some wish if she figures it out.
* Seraphna looks at him carefully, for the first time really studying Alexander as the person.
<Megumi> 6Katrina ritually receives more notices every precisely fifteenth minute up to the hour until this person gives up.
<Ariel> "Teaching?"
<Xanatos> Well forgive me if I don't trust the Progenitors. God-like people always like to play their games.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl goes to sleep. Or acts like it
<DeathStar> <Darien> That's why you play the game better, Xan.
<Megumi> Mmh... I asked beloved to teach me in hopes that I could better use my abilities.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis remains quiet, apparantly not going to budge on teaching today, for whatever reason.
<Xanatos> I'll leave that up to you, then. I always did stink at games.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes him and moves down the hallway.
<Megumi> 6Chii studies Cheryl and leans forward, peering closer.
<Xanatos> Be careful tomorrow. I'll try to have your back. *he turns and moves the other way*
<Chad`Winters> Dieings easy Warren, living's hard.
<DeathStar> <Darien> That's what terrifies me.
* Xanatos turns and walks backwards. "What? A meatshield to take a few hits for you from behind is troubling?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> If I had more time, I would take it. I am out of options.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Sure.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl remains like an angel.
<Xanatos> Fair enough. *he turns back around*
<Chad`Winters> We can put you in stasis until we can find a way.
<Megumi> 6Chii moves off the desk and sits beside the chair, peering at her again before... leaning over on Cheryl.
* Seraphna pulls out her datapad, typing away at something.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts. "No."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is either really asleep, or just really ignoring Chii.
* Ariel glances at Erevis, then looks to Megumi. "We should start training if we're to have any chance of survival if things are to become nessisary tomorrow."
<Megumi> E-..Eh!?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head toward Ariel and Megumi.
* Chad`Winters grunts back. 1"Things are going to be hell tomorrow
<DeathStar> <Warren> I was unaware. Thank you for informing me.
<Megumi> 6Chii attempts to doze off, having apparently stole some close-time with Cheryl.
<Chad`Winters> Well, I figured the brain cancer might be affecting the obvious cortex so I wanted to help.
<DeathStar> <Warren> And they say you're a genius.
<Ariel> "You approached me earlier about that, did you not?"
<Megumi> B-But it's a ...mutal decision, is it not?
<Chad`Winters> Only during the clincher
* Seraphna gives up after a bit and puts the datapad away, arching her back as she stretches.
<Xanatos> *Marcus stands and steps out.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer meanwhile, has been working from half-heartidly to abusively on those training bags.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer hits one really hard as Marcus stands.
<Megumi> NRP: Mutual >_>
<Chad`Winters> And what of Jen? 6He studies Warren
<Ariel> "Did you change your mind?"
* Megumi clenches her hands. 1"No!"
<Xanatos> *Marcus glances at her. "Careful, you don't want to break your hand."
<DeathStar> <Warren> ... 6* Remains silent.
<DeathStar> <Warren> I guess you will have to adopt her.
<Chad`Winters> Do I get to beat her?
<Seraphna> * Jennifer stops mid-swing, looking at her hand, then Marcus.
<DeathStar> <Warren> If she deserves it.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Thanks."
<Chad`Winters> But I get to decide if she deserves it or not, right?
<DeathStar> <Warren> No. Aya does.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Just make sure you don't leave any room for error. *He gives her a light smile and turns to step out*
<Chad`Winters> Well that's not any fun. Can I trade her for grocerys?
<Ariel> "Then... what's the problem?"
<DeathStar> <Warren> No.
<Chad`Winters> Than what good is she?
<Megumi> You did not seem to think I was... ready?
* Megumi headtilts to Ariel.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks at Chad.
* Chad`Winters stares back
<DeathStar> 6* Warren narrows his eyes.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias finishes his food and tosses the tray away.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer returns to abusing the poor training bag.
<Ariel> "It's as important to believe one is ready, than to be ready."
<Xanatos> *Marcus steps into the messhall. "There you are." He says to Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snores.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ho.
* Chad`Winters crosses his arms.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> So i've narrowed it down.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps onto the roof.
<DeathStar> <Darien> And how are my angels?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> The blonde with green eyes and a chest of gold?
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks up behind Ariel, putting a hand on her.
* Chad`Winters grunts in return. 1"So who's wish do we hold as a priority?
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Well I figured I could get wings, because flying would be sweet as hell. Or I could get this power to make any woman have sex with me.
<DeathStar> 6* Cadeceus gives Lilith a shot. Probably a rabies shot.
<DeathStar> <Warren> No one's.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias points at Marcus. 1"Dude, I was thinking the same thing. The sex one.
* Chad`Winters tilts his head slightly. 1"Oh?"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> If I got that, I definitely wouldn't have to worry about being lonely or any of that.
<DeathStar> <Warren> The team so far is relaxed, but when it comes time, everyone will want the gift for a different reason. And priorties won't stop that.
<DeathStar> <Warren> We just have to hope it doesn't tear the team apart.
* Megumi perks slightly. 1"Th-Then... we can?" 6She hops to her feet. 1"What do you require?"
<Chad`Winters> It will.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren grunts.
* Seraphna looks around the shuttle curiously. "Mmm... pretty new... new model?"
<DeathStar> <Alexander> I suppose.
* Megumi peers at Darien and hops back a foot. 1"Ah!"
<Chad`Winters> It'll happen no matter what Warren. Not everyone holds Zephyr as high as Ariel does
<Seraphna> "Right, you never were big on machine specifics, just the outcome."
* Ariel looks to Darien, wondering how people an keep sneaking up behind her, especially when she's standing by the edge of the edge
* Xanatos leans in Warren's doorway. "Everyone has lost someone important to them. Who's to say Zephyr deserves another shot over someone like John?"
* Seraphna runs her hand along one of the walls, "Me... they talk to me, I love figuring out how things work. But you already know that."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh you would.
<Chad`Winters> 6Xanatos leans into a door since he never opened it
<DeathStar> 6* Warren listens to a thunk.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> Hmmm. It was in your profile.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'm thinking of asking for a bigger fist. That way I can pummel my opponents faster.
<DeathStar> 6* Warren looks at the monitors of the base, of the various members of the team.
<DeathStar> <Warren> ...
<DeathStar> -TO BE CONTINUEd-
Session Close: Mon Mar 17 23:47:50 2008

<Megumi> 6Megumi stares at Ariel, as if observing a hero from time's past or something. Ha ha. 1"H-How do we begin..?"
<Ariel> "Simply, at first. We should find some place less... crowded, just to be safe."
* Megumi nods a few times. 1"Open, or does it matter?"
<Ariel> "Open is best for preparation."
<Megumi> Perhaps we should try the courtyard before the inner entry, then.
* Xan|Gone has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
* Xanatos has joined #erevis
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Xanatos
<Ariel> "If we are not interupted, that may be sufficient."
* Megumi nods and moves to lead the way
* Ariel heads down after Megumi to the court yard, and finds some place nice and open to sit.
<Megumi> This should suffice, ri--
* Megumi turns and tilts her head at Ariel, acking and going to mimick her sitting.
<Ariel> "So... how do you feel today, Megumi?"
* Megumi blinks and stares. 1"...How do I... feel?"
* Ariel nods, and waits for an answer
<Megumi> ...I-- ...
* Megumi stares longer, since it's an odd question, seemingly. 1"I am anxious over the events, but if you wish me to be fully honest...
<Megumi> I'm exhilirated, Mother Knight." 6Her eyes light a bit, even widening despite the brightness out here. Thank heavens for the contacts Darien gave her.
* Ariel smiles a little, resting a hand on Megumi's leg. "And... your opinion on me?"
* Megumi tilts her head slightly giving one eye the precedence over the other. 1"Honestly again?"
<Ariel> "Honestly."
<Megumi> Mother Knight is one of few living that remain dear to my feelings and return them in times of inconvenience. Perhaps harsh as a person, but noble and swift in judgement, however severe.
<Megumi> The embodiment of an idol mother, and the epitome of the knights I read about and endear.
* Megumi rubs her cheek. 1"Others find my opinions odd often, though."
<Ariel> "Is there anything else?"
* Megumi blinks. 1"...Ariel is fair and tolerant of me..? Though we have fought in the past... Regardless of the outcome, was one I entrusted with my fate. Someone strong."
* Ariel nods slowly, "Then... you are more open than most."
* Megumi glances away. 1"Is that bad?"
* Ariel considers without answering, "What is it you wish to achieve most, out of this?"
<Megumi> To achieve most...? I know little... I merely hope it can help alleviate some of the sorrow this coming day will entail. That together we are able to end the reign of those taking away our family and friends. To be closer to Mother Knight. All of these seem to accompany this decision.
<Ariel> "But which would you say is the most important to you?"
* Megumi gulps and flushes slightly.
<Megumi> Since you understand that my feelings are not like most... Please do not dislike me for saying it is the last.
<Ariel> "Is that the truth?"
* Megumi puffs her cheeks and frowns, answering in a way not unlike Erevis when fronted. 1"I do not lie."
<Ariel> "You made that promise to Erevis, not myself."
* Megumi answers quickly. 1"Promise or not, it's the right thing."
<Ariel> "And what are you expecting to achieve?"
<Megumi> I will settle for nothing less than our aims.
* Ariel laughs a little, "Alright... hold out your hand, Megumi."
* Xanatos is now known as Xan|Gone
* Megumi peers at Ariel curiously, then tentatively reaches one hand out.
* Ariel rests her hand on top of Megumi's, "Now... close your eyes, and clear your mind."
* Megumi gazes between them, then gazes into Ariel's eyes before closing them, taking a deep breath.
* Ariel seems to hesitate a moment, then starts to form the link between the two.
* Seraphna is now known as Sera|SleepingCabbit
<Megumi> -End-
