<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-588.8.30
<DeathStar> Location: Park
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sits on the park bench, staring at the lake, eyeing a watch on her wrist, waiting for Angela to show up, since she arranged this. It's clear she's not planning to give her much time
* Seraphna takes a seat beside her, in shorts and a t-shirt, hair tied back into a tail. "Hey you."
<DeathStar> 6* She's wearing a white tanktop with sunflowers on it and green shorts, her arm laid back on the back of the bench. She peers at Angela, glancing her over, then her watch. "Hey."
* Seraphna peers back, she smiles a little. "So what's going on with you Zeph?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shrugs.
<Seraphna> "Balancing th e weight of the world on your shoulders? Sounds hard."
* Seraphna grins a bit in that familiar crazy Angie way.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glances at her oddly, not cracking a smile.
<Seraphna> "Oh come on. It's a nice day out, let's have some fun."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glances about it. "...."
* Seraphna sighs and sits back. "Anyways... I just wanted to spend a little time with you. Thanks for agreeing to come."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah...
* Seraphna looks over at her. "How are you holding up?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shrugs. "Best I can."
<Seraphna> "I... wish I could sympathise... but I can't even remember my parents."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hm.
<Seraphna> "But if you need someone to vent on... hey I'm just the screwup right?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glances out at the lake surface. "I'm alright."
* Seraphna keeps that cheerful smile. "It's okay to miss her."
* Seraphna looks out on the water.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I know that.
<Seraphna> "Heh... I remember when she snapped me back to reality... seems like forever ago now."
<Seraphna> "Wish someone had smacked me sooner."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glances at Angela dubiously
<Seraphna> "That didn't count, that was a punch."
* Seraphna smiles at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr still doesn't smile.
<Seraphna> "She was... oh talking about her probably ain't helpin is it?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glances back at the lake. "What did you want, Angela?'
<Seraphna> "Fr--- ...I just wanted to spend time with you..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Ah. Then lets not talk about Ariel.
<Seraphna> "Kay."
<Seraphna> "I rebuilt Robo Dog yah know, I think Aya's got it."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh. That was nice of you.
<Seraphna> "The little guy deserved to be brought back."
<Seraphna> "So... what are you gonna do for yourself? I mean, to get by?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Dunno.
<Kitzzzune> 6Something collapses nearby.
<Seraphna> "We'll try to find you a job... you could totally do contract security you know."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm okay. When I moved out, Darien gave me some money.
<Seraphna> "That was nice of him..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I think he just felt guilty.
* Seraphna rubs the back of her neck. "He probably did... I'm worried about him."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shrugs. "Someone needs to kick his ass."
<Kitzzzune> <Voice> ...Nraghh!
<Seraphna> "Maybe I should. He needs a friend to slap him awake..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glances at Angela, then ahead. "He'd probably just cut you out of his circle."
* Seraphna shrugs a bit.
<Seraphna> "Someone has to."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shrugs again. "If you wanna."
<Seraphna> "Want... no... need to? Maybe."
<Seraphna> "Who else is gonna get to him?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Sorry if I sound harsh, but I don't think you will.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You're no Ariel
<Kitzzzune> 6Hotdogs are thrown at the two. Pretty ones with all the works.
<Seraphna> "No I'm not."
* Seraphna looks at Zeph. "And don't start on thinkin I wanna take her place or somethin"
<Seraphna> "Darien's just a very good friend and I care about my friends."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes her back. Clearly she's been thinking it.
* Seraphna sighs. "I can't catch a break, can I?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Sorry.
<Seraphna> "It's fine... I've screwed up more then enough times."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr slumps a bit in the seat, glancing at the lake.
<Seraphna> "I guess I just don't like constantly being reminded of it. Makes it hard to move on and improve."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I guess I got my suspicious nature from Warren.
<Seraphna> "It's not the worst instinct in the world to have."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It's just that, with Ariel gone, you making a move on Darien just seems your style.
* Seraphna sighs and leans forward. "Zeph... I just want the best for my friends..."
* Seraphna looks over at her. "It was my style."
<Seraphna> "A while ago."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr studies her.
* Seraphna looks at the water again. "Then I bumped into Marcus. I got pregnant, I lost my children."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah... 6* She glances away
<Seraphna> "I decided that if I was ever going to fall in love again, it wasn't gonna be some whim or wild fling."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Alright.
* Seraphna leans back and sighs a bit, she didn't like bringing up the memory of her kids either.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shifts uncomfortably on the bench. It's hard to tell what she's thinking
* Seraphna closes her eyes. "So what about you... you gonna find love sometime?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Me? No. I'm good. 6* She shrugs her shoulders.
<Seraphna> "Mmmm... whoever said it was better to have loved and lost then to have never loved at all can stick it."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah. 6* She nods once.
* Seraphna looks over at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks down at the grass, watching an ant carry a crmb
<Seraphna> "I know I need to stop apologizing... but I'm still sorry."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks up at her, and sighs. "Yeah. You should really stop."
* Seraphna smiles pathetically.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr leans over and sticks her finger out so the ant crawls onto it, then lifts her finger up
* Seraphna watches quietly.
<DeathStar> 6* The little Dragoon girl watches the ant
<Seraphna> "No matter what age you choose, some things never change..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Huh? What do you mean? 6* She glances at Angela, blinking
* Seraphna smiles, her eyes indicating the ant.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I don't get it. 6* She eyes the ant, setting it down on the bench. It crawls toward Angela.
* Seraphna puts out her own finger for it to crawl up. "The natural curiosity, the playful nature... things I've always liked about you."
<DeathStar> 6* The ant crawls up Angela's finger, then bites her
* Seraphna makes a face. "And things always like you more."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks once, then makes a Megumi like scowl. "I should be feared for my ferocity and sharpshooting."
* Seraphna sets it down.
<Seraphna> "Believe me Zeph, I don't have any inclination or desire to be the target of such things."
<DeathStar> 6* She wiggles her feet out. "I guess I AM just the baby of the group."
<Seraphna> "Nah."
<Seraphna> "You're a hella more mature then me."
<DeathStar> 6* She peers at Angela with one eye. "Yeah?"
<Seraphna> "Yeah."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Good. About time you realized
* Seraphna smiles.
<Seraphna> "What can I say, I'm a bit slow to learn."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr leans back as a cool breeze punctures the heat. "Mmmhm."
* Seraphna leans back and relaxes, closing her eyes again. "I'm glad you came."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shrugs. "Yeah. Sure. You're boring, though."
* Seraphna pouts, "Well let's go do something fun then."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Like?
* Seraphna looks about. "Tease boys, shopping, ice cream, something out of this heat, something inside, hell, a movie?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes her at 'tease boys'.
* Seraphna eyes her back and grins, she was joking.
<Seraphna> "Smile you."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr just looks at her, then shrugs. "I don't know."
<Seraphna> "Well I do, shopping it is!"
* Seraphna hops up.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I don't really feel like shopping.
<Seraphna> "What do you feel lik e doing?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shrugs. "I guess sitting here isn't so bad after all."
* Seraphna sits down and smiles softly. "Alright then."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr leans back on the bench, slumping a bit

<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-588.10.5
<DeathStar> Location: Chad's Apartment
<DeathStar> 6* Ah, October.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya peers out the window, head propped up.
* Chad`Winters leans back in his chair, eyeing some documents on his holovid.
<DeathStar> <Aya> The kids pick on Megumi at school
<Chad`Winters> About what? 6He looks over at her.
<DeathStar> <Aya> For being so close to our age, and yet being an assistant teacher.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Oh, and the fact she was a student a few months ago
* Chad`Winters blinks, eyeing her. 1"Assistant teacher?"
<DeathStar> <Aya> I told you about that a few weeks ago, didn't I?
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks confused, putting a finger to her lip, trying to think
<Chad`Winters> I find that odd. A girl who couldn't even read basic is teaching in basic.
<DeathStar> <Aya> She does advanced math and science.
<Chad`Winters> I guess I'm finding it hard for her to teach anything easily.
<DeathStar> <Aya> She's really smart. And her white hair is pretty. Do you think I'd look pretty with white hair?
<Chad`Winters> She's also very immature at times. And no, I'd have to so not.
<DeathStar> <Aya> I'm just not sure if I can be friends with her now, since she's my teacher. You know?
<Chad`Winters> Because than the other kids would make fun of you, right?
<DeathStar> <Aya> Well, maybe. But wouldn't it look like she was favoring me?
<Chad`Winters> She probably looks like she's favoring you already.
<Xanatos> 6* There's a knock at Chad's front door.
* Chad`Winters eyes the door, then the time. He reaches under the table and pulls out a gun.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya sighs.
<DeathStar> <Aya> This is why no one visits me.
* Chad`Winters sticks his tongue out at her and moves to the door and unlocks it. He opens it.
* Xanatos stands there wearing a black shirt and jeans, his usual type of deal, though he has a light coat over that. "Yo."
* Chad`Winters eyes Xanatos oddly, getting a confused look on his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks at the door. "Mr. Durran?"
<Xanatos> Sorry for the unannounced drop it. But can you spare a moment?
<Chad`Winters> Right. 6He still looks at Xanatos oddly. Contemplating something for a moment. He then opens the door fully and motions Xanatos in
* Xanatos nods and steps in, giving Aya a smile.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya leans over the couch to look at Xanatos. "Do you think I'd look prettier with white hair?"
* Xanatos pauses and tilts his head, rubbing his chin. "I don't know, all the boys I know really like blondes."
<DeathStar> <Aya> Really? Which color do you prefer?
* Chad`Winters shuts the door. 1"You know boys?"
* Xanatos smirks at Chad, then glances at Aya. "Well. I like Red hair. But blondes are my number two choice."
<DeathStar> <Aya> Oh. Okay. You should talk to Aunt Cheryl.
* Chad`Winters just laughs.
* Xanatos chuckles. "I don't think that would go over well." He notes after the laugh.
<Chad`Winters> So what do you want? 6He leans against the back of the couch
* Xanatos glances at Chad and nods once. "I came to make you an offer."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya plops down to read her school books.
<Chad`Winters> My favorite thing to hear from you. 6His tone is full of sarcasm.
<Xanatos> I'm dying. Apparently the cloning process that Legion and the Dark Ones used was for a set amount of time.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks up, her eyes widening
* Chad`Winters tilts his head, interest actually appearing on his face now. 1"You're sure of this?"
<Xanatos> I had Cran's people check it out. Unless he had a reason to lie, i'm about as sure as can be.
* Xanatos pulls both of his right hand out of his pocket, a tinge of pain crosses his face in the process. He holds up the decaying thing. To furthur prove his point.
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue at that then crosses his arms now. 1"And you want me to..."
<Xanatos> Do nothing, even if you had unlimited resources, I doubt you could actually save me in time. I only have about 4 months left. *he pauses and slides the hand carefully back into his pocket.* I came to offer you part of the money that I recieved from my book.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya peers at Xanatos.
* Chad`Winters shakes his head, an annoyed look appearing on his face. 1"Do what Cassandra did."
* Megumi has joined #erevis
<Xanatos> No, I'm pretty sure it wouldn't work. Besides, this is my second chance, it's good I even got one. But now that time is up. *he gets a slight smile* I want you to accept. It's not charity, it's just making sure it'll go to a good place. Aya has university coming soon. I would make me happy to know I helped furthur her education.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks at Chad
* Chad`Winters just stares at Xanatos, that annoyed look still on his face.
<DeathStar> <Aya> My dad's too proud to accept money, even if it would help me out
<DeathStar> <Aya> Aren't you, daddy? 6* She smiles like Zephyr.
* Chad`Winters slumps and looks over at Aya, pointing at her mockingly. 1"Cruel."
<DeathStar> <Aya> But if you want to set up a trust fund in my name for me to get when I turn 18, I won't object.
* Xanatos pauses and smiles. "I can do that."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya smiles, then looks a little sad. "I'm really sorry you're dying, Mr. Durran."
<Chad`Winters> That's fine with me.
* Xanatos shakes his head. "Dying isn't so bad." He smiles and then nods to Chad. "I'll get everything taken care of, see you two around." He moves for the door.
* Chad`Winters scratches the side of his face. 1"If you need anything, you know my number."
<DeathStar> <Aya> It's all even numbers.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya smiles at her dad.
* Xanatos pauses and laughs. "I'll keep that in mind." He opens the door with his icky hand and steps out.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks sad after he steps out. "Poor Mr. Durran."
* Chad`Winters nods, a solemn look on his face.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Starr's Residence
<DeathStar> 6* Angela stands outside the House of Starr
* Angela rings the bell, crossing her arms a bit.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien opens the door, wearing a robe. He's grown a full beard by now. And looks a bit like a crazy terrorist. "What?"
<Angela> "I came to check on you."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm alive. 6* He closes the door.
* Angela tries not to stare. She puts her foot in the door.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hm. I suddenly feel like a certain blonde.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes her now. "If you're here to talk intervention, you're just going to get your name in my black book."
<Angela> "I'm not here for that."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien gets a smile that's not very friendly
<Angela> "There's no need to close me out Darien, you know I'm your friend."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Really? You mean a friend who switches sides?
* Angela stares at him. "What side am I on really? Why the hell are there even sides?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> There's always sides, Angela.
<Angela> "You know I've never agreed with that."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Liar. You were fully with me about this until Zephyr said something
<DeathStar> <Darien> You'd still be with me if you didn't want her to love you again.
<Angela> "That's cheap."
<DeathStar> <Darien> It's truth.
* Angela looks down. "Why do I have to choose?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> It's the way of life. You can't sit on a fucking fence and put your fingers in your ears.
<Angela> "Right, so the only way in life is to pick a side and oppose something, screw bonds, friendships, any chance at peace right?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> I think you've already picked your side, Angela.
* Angela looks up at him, narrowing her eyes. "Has nothing I've ever done ever registered with you?"
<Megumi> 6Megumi leans in from the side of the porch, looking between the two quietly.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien strokes his beard. "Angela. You know what type of man I am. I'm not going to stop in my pursuits and frankly, you'll just be an obstacle. Maybe when it's over, we'll have lunch."
<Angela> "Darien, I've supported you, helped you, aided you in everything I could. I followed you blindly on faith alone at times."
<Angela> "This... I don't even know what this is."
<DeathStar> <Darien> It's what it's always been. I'm changing things.
<DeathStar> <Darien> And don't act like it's any different. I know you're not stupid.
<Angela> "And what are you going to do? What are you going to change? Will it really do anything? Will it bring her back?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm afraid you'll just have to wait and see. Because you're on the other side. And I'm not going to have you stop me
* Megumi moves away from the two, seemingly not interested in interrupting. She crosses her arms and gazes back toward the street.
<Angela> "Don't you realize this has been tried before? Don't you remember what happens if you change time too much?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> I don't care.
<Angela> "This isn't planning, this isn't your usual thinking Darien, this is just plain vengence now."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shakes his head. "Shut up. You really don't know what you're talking about. You're just talking to be heard . You don't know what I'm thinking, what I'm planning, or what I'm going to do. You're assuming, and frankly, it's tiresome. You leap from side to side, yammer about things you don't know, while trying to act as if you have a clue."
* Angela looks like she's been hit in the gut. "Darien..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien holds up his hand. He's angry, but he's holding it back. "Enough, Angela. I'm not changing my route. And if you keep talking, you're just going to get me even more angry than I am. The woman I loved is dead. Ripped from my world by Erevis. I knew it all along. And I tried to change it. And don't act like a fucking child in that you didn't know that was my plan or intention. And nothing has fucking changed."
* Angela lifts her gaze to his hand, still reeling a bit from shock. "And when you do change it?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Then we'll see what happens. Maybe the world ends. Maybe I get to hold her again in my arms. You know what? I don't really fucking care. 6* He slams the door shut with enough force to break bones if she tries to stop him
* Angela doesn't stop him, looking a bit too out of it to even react, she stands there for a moment, breathing deeply.
* Megumi rubs one of her ears and then walks over, knocking.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien doesn't answer.
* Angela looks down at Meg.
* Megumi continues knocking.
* Angela turn and just starts walking away, shaking her head. "That arrogant..."
<DeathStar> 6* The door remains shut
* Megumi continues knocking, stealing one glance back at Angela.
<Angela> "Blind son of a bitch..."
<DeathStar> 6* No answer.
* Angela walks away, back towards Megumi's pad o' Fun.
* Megumi has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* When Angela walks up toward the house, she would find Xanatos sitting on the steps
* Angela stops and looks at him, "Hey..." *She quickly rubs her arm over her eyes, trying to hide tears*
* Megumi has joined #erevis
* Megumi brings her hand back and then lightly smacks the door with the flat of her palm, reverberating it in an odd way to send a shock throughout a good deal of the front of it and the first wall. Accomplishing nothing but an absurdly loud boom.
* Xanatos lounges there, leaned back, he perks open his eyes when she gets close. "Another boy reject you? These are tough times indeed, Angela."
<Angela> "Just the only other one I thought counted."
* Angela opens the door. "Come in..."
<Xanatos> Uh oh. Without Darien you're really alone. *he stands up, then shifts in*
* Angela laughs a really broken laugh.
* Angela steps into the kitchen and puts some coffee on.
<Xanatos> I'm here to make you an offer. *he stands just inside the kitchen, moving in no closer*
<Angela> "Offer?"
* Angela quietly gets out a mug and some sugar, not looking back at him.
<Xanatos> I'm splitting up my money, giving it to my friends and allies. At least the ones that need it.
* Angela looks over her shoulder at him, raising a brow. "Why the heck would you do that?"
<Xanatos> Because I don't need it anymore.
<Angela> "What do you mean? You have to support yourself."
* Xanatos pulls his hand out of his pockets, and it doesn't look pretty, or human for that matter. "I won't need anymore than enough to get me through these last few months."
* Angela walks over and gently grabs it, looking at it. "What the hell is this?"
<DeathStar> 6* Paaaaaaain!
* Xanatos hisses and falls to a knee, pulling his hand back. "...i'm fucking decaying."
<Angela> "G-God! Sorry!"
<Angela> "Decaying?"
<Angela> "...You're dying?"
* Megumi opens the door and enters, closing it after herself. She doesn't look particularly happy, but neither does she exert frustration on the door or in taking off her shoes. She's wearing a yukata since it's been warmer, but that'll change soon.
<Xanatos> Yeah. *he stands, putting his hand away*
<Angela> "Xan..."
* Angela looks at him and looks on the verge of tearing up again. "Isn't there something we can do?"
<Xanatos> No, no. I've looked into it. We let it run it's course and that's that. My second chance is ending soon.
<Angela> "No... not you too... Xan I'm so sorry..."
<Xanatos> Oh stop. I died a long time ago.
* Megumi gazes over abrubtly, her eyes rather wide, then slowly culls into her usual, as of late, lazed stare. She peers toward the floor, finishes setting her shoes aside at the entry, then begins making her way to the bedroom.
<Angela> "I died a long time ago too you know."
<Angela> "Doesn't change that you're dyin now..."
<DeathStar> 6* A nude Megumi watches Megumi enter
<DeathStar> 6* The painting, of course
<Xanatos> Eh, there's no point to make a fuss. I'll be satisfied knowing that i'll have at least one person at my funeral.
<Angela> "Is there anything I can do for you? Xan?"
* Megumi stares at herself, then grabs one of the throws off the bed and tosses it over the wall-resting image.
<Xanatos> Yeah actually. I want to leave money for Erevis, can I count on you that she'll get it?
<Angela> "Yeah... of course."
<Xanatos> I'll be in touch with the details. You take care of yourself Angie.
<Angela> "Xanatos..."
<Angela> "Don't be a stranger... okay?"
<Xanatos> Eh, well i've got a lot of living to do, so we'll see if I can pencil you in.
* Xanatos gives her a smile and then turns to walk for the door.
* Angela shows him out, before heading for Meg's room.
* Angela knocks on her door. "Meg?"
* Megumi opens it, having now covered every painting riddling the floor with some manner of cloth or covering. She peers up. 1"Yes, Miss Angela?"
<Angela> "Hey... we've barely spoken you know... you wanna talk? Need anything?"
* Angela looks on the verge of tears. She's trying to hide it though.
<Megumi> It may not have been my business or concern to overhear you speaking to Starr, but apparently you now have an issue with changing the timeline as well. So... I must ask why you would concern yourself with me knowing that I wish to change things from how they 'must be.'
* Megumi quivers just a bit after getting a better look at Angela's state of expression.
<Angela> "Because reguardless of this insanity I still think of you as my friend."
* Angela clenches her hand into a fist, breathing a bit quicker as though she's going to lose it.
<Megumi> I will tell you something that no one else would say to you, then, Miss Angela.
<Angela> "S-Sure..."
* Megumi offers up her hand reaching for the newly-made fist.
* Angela loosens her hand, allowing her to take it.
* Megumi closes her eyes, slowly smiling, then opens her eyes widely, grinning in the manner of a predator. 1"Everything will be fine."
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> StardatE: 10-588.10.6
<DeathStar> Location: High School
<DeathStar> 6* Cedarton walks down a hallway with Megumi next to him. "And how are you adjusting to teaching classes, Miss. Zhenmei." 6* He wipes a speck of dust off his glasses.
<DeathStar> <Cedarton> Please answer in a timely manner.
<Megumi> Well enough, I should think. I believe my appearance and original introduction to the others is posing a bit of a hindrance to gaining respect amongst them, but for the most part my display of competence in relation and observing their materials is proof enough.
<DeathStar> 6* Cedarton nods once, placing his glasses back on his face. "Very well. The teacher you work under seems pressed with your over all level of skills, even if you do seem to have some strange outbursts of oddities, like puffing your cheeks."
* Megumi shrugs lightly, upturning her palms. 1"Sometimes it actually helps. When they feel as though they can relate directly to the one teaching them there is less of a barrier in passing on knowledge."
* Megumi turns to peer up at Cedarton, pushing up small sunglass rims. 1"The one I work under... is... pressed?"
<DeathStar> <Cedarton> I hear it just makes you seem like a puffball. 6* He notes dryly. "You really should avoid doing it." 6* He notes calmly, ignoring the fact she heard pressed instead of pleased. How odd.
<DeathStar> <Cedarton> You may enjoy the rest of your lunch break as you see fit. Try not to cram too much into your mouth at one time and eat with proper manners.
<Megumi> How rude. I always have.
<DeathStar> <Cedarton> At least you didn't puff your cheeks.
<DeathStar> 6* Cedarton moves to scold some students.
* Megumi narrows her eyes, having avoided doing so because she asked.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya sits at her desk, eating a sandwich that's perfectly portportional.
* Megumi returns to the classroom, opening up an obento, mostly of plain onigiri.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya peers at Megumi as she eats her sandwich, but doesn't approach her
* Megumi stares at the food, twitching a little. Then puts the lid back on and sighs gently, peering out the window.
<DeathStar> 6* It's a beautiful day. The leaves are turning colors. The air is cooling down. Soon winter!
<DeathStar> 6* Aya scuffs her feet on the floor, glancing at the other students, then Megumi
* Megumi reaches up and unbinds a ribbon in her hair, fishing the emerald weapon, which she was using as a marble, more or less, out, staring at it with the sunlight as a backdrop through her glasses. She rebinds her hair up and leaves it on the desk, peering over slowly toward Aya. 1"Aya... May I speak with you for a moment?"
<Angela> * Jennifer looks up at Aya, then Meg, then the other students.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Yes, ma'am.
<Megumi> ...It is a break, you need not call me that for now..
<DeathStar> <Aya> Um, yes, Sensei.
* Megumi twitches visibly, rubbing her temples.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya winces.
<Angela> Jennifer> "It's good manners Sensei."
<DeathStar> 6* All the students giggle.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya moves to the desk, her head down.
<Megumi> I am aware of that, Miss Carmichael. Considering my request has nothing to do with school, it is unnecessary.
<DeathStar> <Students> Neko Sensei will claw you if you disobey.
<Angela> * Jennifer shrugs a bit and sits back, "Alright ma'am."
* Megumi slips her glasses down and peers around Aya at the others, not really amused.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya hangs her head. "Did you want to talk in here, or ... outside, Sen--Ma'am? Miss Zhenmei?"
* Megumi gazes back to Aya, asking in a quieter tone. 1"Aya... I have been wanting to ask. Do you ...know where Zephyr has gone to?"
<DeathStar> 6* Aya jerks, her eyes widening. "I, um, yes."
<DeathStar> 6* A janitor slips inside, and begins to sweep the floor in the back of the classroom, his hat pulled down to shade his face
<Megumi> Could you...? Might I ask you where..?
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks nervous. "She didn't really want certain people to know where she was living..." 6* She fidgets.
<Megumi> I was one of those 'certain' people. Like Starr, correct?
<Angela> * Jen watches from a distance, tilting her head at how Aya's acting.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya hangs her head.
<Megumi> So it is... please worry not, Aya. Thank you, regardless.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya glances up. "She's just mad and worried because you want to change things, Meg--Miss. Zhenmei."
<Megumi> I understand. That is why I will not set you between us.
<DeathStar> 6* She shakes her head. "She seems sad."
* Megumi hangs her head slightly. 1"..."
<Megumi> That is... why I want things to change..
<DeathStar> <Aya> I think she's sad because you want to change things.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya shrugs. "I don't really know. She won't tell me. She says it's adult stuff. Even though she's not really much older than me now."
<Megumi> I want sadness to disappear.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Miss. Zhenmei. You can't make sadness disappear. No one can.
* Megumi nods her head slowly. 1"...I know. Thank you, Aya."
<DeathStar> <Aya> I'm told if you succeed, I'll disappear. But. 6* She lowers her head. "I trust you. So do what you think is best."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya gives her a smile.
<Megumi> ...I am trying. Honestly I do not know what I will do just yet. Unlike Starr, I... do not think very far ahead. It is hard for me to see the entire picture.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Perhaps you should just be happy, and make those around you happy? You have people who care about you. Lots of people. Love them, and they will love you. And the rest will solve itself.
* Megumi shifts some hair away from her eyes enough to see her while keeping her head low. 1"I will do nothing that endangers Zephyr or yourself."
<DeathStar> 6* The janitor lifts something and suddenly a barrage of deadly crystal shards fly at Aya and Megumi
* Megumi lifts her ears and grinds her teeth, waving her hand up to ward them, at the distance of the other children present. 1"So there you are."
<DeathStar> 6* As the crystals are warded, they exploded into more tiny ones, aiming to stress Megumi's limits
<DeathStar> 6* The students scream and Aya jerks around, looking shocked.
<Angela> * Jennifer stares and stands up.
<DeathStar> 6* The janitor pulls out a round object and throws it into the middle of the class room. It explodes, throwing dozens of crystals everywhere, aiming to impale students and Megumi alike
* Megumi winces visibly, but keeps it up even in dangering herself. 1"Miss Carmichael, remove everyone quickly. Aya, inform Mister Cedarton and evacuate the building."
<Angela> * Jennifer dives behind a desk, tackling another student to safety.
<DeathStar> 6* The janitor aims a gun at Megumi and fires a beam blast at her head.
* Megumi waves her other hand, manipulating the desks to help shield the students, leaning backwards at the same time to avoid being face-shot.
<Angela> Jennifer> "Alright, everyone run for it!"
<DeathStar> 6* A second shot flies for Megumi's stomach. Aya steps in front of it, jerking as it impacts.
<Megumi> A-Aya!
<DeathStar> 6* Aya steps back, her crystal shield breaking from the power of the blast.
<DeathStar> <Aya> O-Ow...
<DeathStar> 6* The janitor stares, then begins to fire beam blasts wildly. There's no real pattern, but it seems he's aiming to overwhelm Aya and Megumi
<Angela> * Jennifer helps the other students make an escape, she ends up dragging one kid back out of the way of a beam. "Maniac!"
* Megumi moves forward and around Aya, shoving her way forward with an outstretched hand, making a narrower and less-straining barrier before her, aiming to get closer.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya touches her ear to contact Chad.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Chad's Apartment
<DeathStar> 6* As Xanatos talk to Chad, having documents for Aya's trust, Chad's comm goes off. "D-Dad?"
* Chad`Winters quickly reaches upto his ear. 1"What's wrong?"
* Xanatos glances up at Chad, arching a brow.
<DeathStar> <Aya> We're under attack. 6* Sounds of blasts can be heard.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Again.
<Chad`Winters> <C> I'm on my way. J-Just stay safe. 6He stands up moving to his room quickly.
* Chii has joined #erevis
* Xanatos pats the papers, having pretty much finished up their business and places them in an envelope on the table. "I always said Japense schools were dangerous."
* Megumi has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
* Chad`Winters steps out of his room, his tact suit on. He snaps his second holster on and eyes Xan, wondeirng how he figured that much out from half a conversation.
* Xanatos shakes his head, then moves for the door. "You're easy to read, Chad."
* Chad`Winters eyes Xan's back, wondering how he knew what he was thinking. He reaches under the table, pulling out a third gun. 1"You coming with than?"
<Xanatos> Why wouldn't I?
* Chad`Winters tosses Xan a standard issue gun and moves for the door himself.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Megumi's Pad
<DeathStar> 6* As Angela does work, she suddenly feels a twitch in her brain. Danger at the school.
* Angela blinks a bit and looks around. "What the hell?"
* Angela gets up and just starts strapping on her weapons. "When'd I get that one?"
<DeathStar> 6* The power of plot.
* Angela rushes out to her car after locking up and drives for the school.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: High School
<DeathStar> 6* The janitor charges his weapon and fires a beam at Aya. This beam seems like it's super charged.
* Chii is now known as Megumi
<Megumi> Leave her alone!" 6She reaches her hands up and forms an immaterial zanbato, slamming it into the floor cross-wise within the path.
<DeathStar> 6* The attack beam remains on course.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya gasps as smashes through whatever defenses Megumi set up
<Megumi> Aya! MOVE!
<DeathStar> 6* Too late. Aya is nailed, the blast impacting right through her side and out the back. Aya stumbles, wincing in pain and falls down, bleeding painfully. She falls face first onto the floor. A crystal shard comes flying in at Megumi's head now that the defense barrier has been breached.
<DeathStar> 6* 3
<DeathStar> 2
<DeathStar> 1
* Megumi jerks slightly. 1"Aya!" 6She moves just enough, getting a cut to the ear.
<DeathStar> 6* The janitor sneers, talking in Megumi's language. "All who stand with you shall fall, murderer." 6* He fires his beam weapon at Megumi now
* Megumi leaps back quickly and snatches the emerald weapon off the desk, bringing up her other hand and trying to reinforce a projection away.
* Megumi takes a quick glance to see if Jennifer and the others have vacated.
<DeathStar> 6* The beam attack failing, the Janitor shifts his hand, and suddenly Megumi is flung into the chalkboard.
<Angela> * Jennifer got the hell out of there with the rest of the kids.
* Megumi cries slightly. Shit, he's increasing too.
<DeathStar> 6* The janitor then shifts his weapon settings and fires a beam attack and crystal projectiles.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya moans on the floor, a pool of blood under her. She tries to stay conscious
* Megumi throws both hands out, forming a narrow-projection wave through it, intent on cutting while she focuses her left hand.
<DeathStar> 6* The Janitor fires at the ceiling, bringing it down, and some students, toward Megumi. He throws a grenade into the mix
<Megumi> D-Damn it!
* Megumi swipes her hand, trying to send the grenade back. She can't move that many kids.
<DeathStar> 6* The students cry out as they land painfully. The grenade explodes into crystals as Megumi throws it - meaning, it got 1 foot away.
<DeathStar> 6* The janitor uses a crystal shield, but since it goes in all angles, it's coming right back at Megumi and the kids
* Megumi leans and leaps forward to get afront anyone else she can't block with her abrubt-use abilities.
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi takes damage from the crystals, but somehow manages to protect the students, who stare at their neko sensi taking hits
<DeathStar> 6* The janitor fires a charged beam at her, as she stands in front of the student. Yeah. move, bitch, he thinks
<Angela> * Jennifer grumbles a bit, in pain.
* Megumi begins uttering in Famfrit. 1"Hypocrite... hypocrite... Cursed hypocrite!" 6She doesn't move, instead slamming her palm into the ground and rippling the floor itself into the way, causing an upburst of materials from the floor and foundation to strike at the other famfrit. She'll use herself and force to try and guard the kids from what gets through.
<DeathStar> 6* The beam busts through most of the foundation, smashing into Megumi, though it's weakened. It doesn't rip through her like it did Aya, but leaves a nasty burn mark, oozing and festering. The materials slam into the Famfrit, knocking him into the wall
* Megumi reaches down and clutches at the rubble of floor in front of her to keep from being knocked over, springing toward him instead. She needs to either press or get away from the kids. She swipes either hand, trying to bring down sections of the wall on him, tossing a desk for him. Both hands form immaterial bladed tonfas.
<Megumi> [Famfrit] Just what are you proving now, you fallen cretin!?
<DeathStar> 6* The wall falls down on the famfrit, revealing another classroom full of shocked students.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Dawn's Favorite Diner
<DeathStar> 6* A regular customer walks in, glancing at Dawn, moving over to him, holding an envelope. "Hey, Dawn. This lady wanted me to give you this."
<DeathStar> 6* He holds out the manilla envelope.
<Megumi> 6Dawn tilts his head slightly, peering at the envelope. He gives the man a questioningly look, then nods and accepts it, smiling slightly.
<Megumi> 6After a moment he opens it, peering inside.
<DeathStar> 6* The man nods and moves to order some pie
<DeathStar> 6* Inside are two photos. One is a photo of his hometown in it's old glory.
<Megumi> 6Dawn's eyes widen slightly, his mouth agape. He hasn't even found that much since the memory lapse.
<Megumi> 6Dawn throws down the one and peers at the other crazedly.
<DeathStar> 6* The second photo seems like it was taken while it was destroyed. By monsters. Ramapging monsters. Werewolf like beasts
<Megumi> 6Dawn jerks back, toppling his chair and dropping the second.
<DeathStar> 6* A few customers turn to peer at Dawn
<Megumi> 6He glances toward the one who brought the envelope in, retraces his words, and runs for the entry, gazing along the sidewalk.
<DeathStar> 6* No one is out there now. The lady is gone.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Xanatos and Chad arrive outside the high school moments before Angela
* Chad`Winters slams on the breaks and climbs out, leaving the door open. He unholsters Ebony and begins running for the school as he taps his ear piece. 1"Aya, where are you?"
<DeathStar> 6* No response.
* Angela slams on her own breaks, pulling up near them.
<Chad`Winters> <C> AYA?! 6He get's a distant look in his eyes and runs faster, shoulder ramming the front doors open.
* Xanatos steps out after Chad and moves after him, he slides out his two pistols, though the one in his right hand seems to not be held as high. He glances over his shoudler at Angela, then moves on in after Chad.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly a blast impacts, sending a catgirl flying out on it, glass shards and desks flying
<DeathStar> 6* Pieces of the wall trail after the catgirl
<DeathStar> 6* The Famfrit leaps out after Megumi, not caring they're on the second floor
* Angela gets out of her car and pulls out her samaritan, staring at the scene. "What the hell..."
* Chad`Winters moves inside, heading for the second floor and to the room Aya should have been in when she called.
* Xanatos slides to a stop to peer up, making sure he isn't hit by spare debris.
<DeathStar> 6* The Famfrit lands on a flying piece of debris, then begins to get the glass to fly into Megumi
<DeathStar> 6* Aya is on the floor in a pool of her own blood, her face scrunched in pain. She seems to be trying to do something
* Xanatos shifts his left hand up and fires two quick shots for the famfrit guy.
* Megumi twists as she falls backward, one eye wincing. She lands on her feet, using even her hands to get moving again sideways being chased by the glass. She beings moving in toward him, almost snarling.
<DeathStar> 6* The Famfrit is hit by one a shot, his janitor uniform tearing to reveal a battlesuit. He lands on the ground with his wall debris.
* Chad`Winters quickly moves over to Aya, sliding into a kneeling position. 1"Aya, I'm here." He slides his right hand along his tact suit and pulls out some medical supplies.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Sorry...daddy...messed...up... 6* She mumbles. Her wounds seems to be getting smaller, but she appears to be in agony.
* Xanatos holds the left pistol up, aiming carefully, stepping away from the school entrance. "Megumi, who is this?"
<Chad`Winters> It's fine, you're fine. 6He says in a rush as he applies some gauze to her wound
* Angela watches Meg and the Famfrit a moment, "Well at least it's not someone kidnapping Aya again..."
<DeathStar> <Aya> Megumi..needs...help...
<Chad`Winters> Xanatos and Angela are here. You're my priority right now.
* Angela loads two red shells and waits.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya sits up. "Oh no." 6* She screams in agony, then grabs Chad. "We need to go."
* Chad`Winters eyes go wide. 1"You can't-Why?"
<DeathStar> <Famfrit> *in their native tongue* Say goodbye to the girl, Megumi. I take from you as you took from us
* Megumi doesn't seem to be in any condition to answer Xanatos straightly, blasts and lacerations aside. Her right hand clutching the emerald weapon squeezes it, causing it to disappear.
<DeathStar> 6* The camera pans from Chad and Aya, and suddenly the entire class room explodes into a giant crystal burst.
<DeathStar> 6* It seems unlikely anyone survived it
* Xanatos peers up with wide eyes. "What the hell was that?!"
<Megumi> [Famfrit] You..." 6Her head snaps toward the classroom, her eyes widening. "1..."
* Angela doesn't hesitate now, she aims and fires a red shell at the Famfrit.
<DeathStar> 6* The red shell moves right for Megumi's face.
<Angela> "What... MEG!"
<DeathStar> 6* He then fires his own beam blast for her stomach, at an angle in case she dodges.
* Megumi reaches up her hands, focusing on the updraft and blast from the classroom. She drags both hands toward her counterpart, shifting the very flames created by whatever he did for him, oblivious to the samaritan shell and beam.
* Xanatos doesn't risk shooting since obviously the famfrit guy can deflect his attacks.
* Ari[AWAY] is now known as Ariel
* Megumi slams her hands down, bringing the rain of the crystals and debris upon the other famfrit, disappearing within the beam and samaritan blasts.
<DeathStar> 6* The Famfrit guy vanishes into a rain of crystal.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly landing nearby is Cheryl and Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* The crystals crack and Aya and Chad fall out. It seems they're fine
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Aya!
* Xanatos shifts to look at the two, then peers back at Aya and Chad. "Jesus christ." Are they falling from the second story?
* Angela holsters her gun and looks around, wary of the crazy--er famfrit.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl activates her black whip
<DeathStar> 6* Aya pants, exhausted.
* Chad`Winters looks down at Aya. 1"You did good."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr rushes over, grabbing the girl in a hug.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh, baby.
* Angela draws her Katana and looks around, moving slowly to the others. "Who the hell was that again?"
<DeathStar> 6* Aya winces in pain
* Megumi moves out of the shell and beam explosions her hand swiping and drawing it away from her. She's not unaffected, having quite a deal more wounds and burns. Her eyes are feral, drawn wide and she leans back, screaming something nonsensical and beyond her size before starting to rush the pile of rubble.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl scans the area, looking for Megumi and the Famfrit
* Chad`Winters stands up, scanning the area with his eyes, Ebony held tightly in his left hand.
* Xanatos just stands there, staring at the crystals. Probably running the scans from his eye to make sure the famfrit guy is still around.
<DeathStar> 6* Cedarton wipes his glasses. "At least she didn't puff her cheeks."
<DeathStar> 6* The crystals suddenly shift, then fly at the rushing Megumi
* Angela looks at Cedarton about as warily as she might the Famfrit.
* Chad`Winters snaps Ebony up towards the debris now. 1"He's still alive."
<Xanatos> Looks like if she keeps this up, she won't be puffing her cheeks for a while.
<Angela> "Damnit..."
* Angela turns and faces the rubble.
<DeathStar> 6* The crystals begin to explode as they near Megumi, making dodging nearly a moot point
* Megumi continues barreling through them, most of them impacting a few inches from her actual body, but some piercing her precisely their secondary effect aside. She continues rushing the point, roaring.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at Megumi, who rushes through all the way - just to reach Aya, Chad, and Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* No Famfrit
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek peers over Angela's shoulder. "What happened, what'd I miss?"
<Angela> "Some famfrit after Meg I think."
<DeathStar> 6* The Famfrit appears behind Cheryl. He proceeds to fire his beam attack into her back, the blast beginning to go right throug her body. She roars in pain
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Oooooh. Sounds boring.
<Angela> "CHERYL!"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl uses a dark wave of power to knock herself and the Famfrit away. She stumbles into the school gate wall
* Chad`Winters turns, snapping towards Cheryl screaming out in pain.
* Megumi draws her hand back over where she last saw the other Famfrit, digging claw manifests into the ground before gazing at Aya, Chad and Zephyr like they might be next, eyes quivering. Cheryl's yell draws her attention and she turns... coiling at first, then springing to charge again.
* Xanatos arches a brow, shifting to look for the Famfrit.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ...
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Bloody hell that looked painful.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pounds her fist into the wall, bleeding heavily from her back
* Chad`Winters fires a shot, arcing it towards the Famfrit if he can make a clear shot.
<DeathStar> 6* The Famfrit lands on the ground, preparing himself. He uses a crystal shield barely in time to save himself from Chad.
* Xanatos aims and fires a charged shot for the shield, probably testing it, but if it breaks it then yay him.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl whirls around, looking as if she's just berserked.
* Chad`Winters steps forward, firing 3 shots, arcing them from the Famfrits sides and then one from down ontop of him
* Angela fires a blast from her bracer at the famfrit.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rushes forward, moving in with the shots. The Famfrit only blocks a few shots, the others hitting his armor.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr frowns. "This is getting bad." 6* She holds Aya, not sure if she wants to risk shooting
* Angela pulls her arm back, stopping a second shot when Cheryl gets in melee.
* Megumi rushes past Cheryl on fours, swiping one hand of immaterial claws, sending a wave for the Famfrit from a shorter distance than before.
<Chad`Winters> Agreed.
<DeathStar> 6* The Famfrit uses his own force wave to cancel Megumi's. Cheryl leaps over, whipping down at him, tearing through his shoulder armor.
* Megumi presses forward and springs at him with herself
* Chad`Winters grabs Ebony with his second hand and begins charging up a shot.
* Xanatos glances down at his guns, then looks up, tilting his head, he drops something on the ground and backs up towards Chad and Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl wavers, bleeding out, but apparantly not caring. She whips into his back.
<DeathStar> 6* The Famfrit aims at Megumi, firing a beam attack, even as he's hit in the back
<Xanatos> * Drasek peers at Cheryl fighting. "Bloody hell she's frightening."
<Angela> "Oh, this is your first time seeing this."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> She's just listening to the music.
* Chad`Winters pulls the trigger, sending a straight charged shot for the Famfrit now
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Music eh? What is it, some crazy Thrash metal?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I don't know. She never told me what it meant.
<Angela> "Music huh..."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya stands, her wound healed, though judging by the hole in her uniform, it was bad.
<Xanatos> * Drasek doesn't reply, he just seems interested in that idea.
* Megumi rolls backward after taking a beam to the chest. Her manifest eats it away except for another hit to the shoulder and side torso. She snarls and gets back up, then springs for him again.
<DeathStar> 6* The Famfrit shifts so the charged shot will hit Megumi
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl roars and grabs him in a bear hug, holding the Famfrit. She begins to smash her head into the back of his head. then brings her knee into his back, using dark energy to power her blows.
<Xanatos> Something tells me Megumi's going to need a doctor. *he notes after a minute*
<Angela> "...Yeah."
<Xanatos> * Drasek let's out a whistle. "And you said she's single, eh luv?"
* Megumi collapses pathetically, but slashes at him with her left hand, the claws alone a problem, but forming a wave from the short range before slamming against the ground.
* Angela looks at Drasek. "Tread carefully."
* Chad`Winters narrows his eyes, focusing on something, as if someone could easily kill him right now
<DeathStar> 6* The Famfrit is hit by the wave, staggering. He taps a button, and Cheryl is hit by crystal attacks andk nocked back
* Angela fires a blast at the Famrit again.
<DeathStar> 6* He taps another button and teleports - the blast flies through him and into Cheryl
<Angela> "Cheryl!"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is hit and slams into the wall
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Jesus Angie. Way to rough up my future girlfriend.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr rushes over to check on Cheryl.
* Angela cuts the beam and growls a bit, rushing to her.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya quickly moves to Megumi.
* Chad`Winters shakes his head, he falls to his knee, definetly out of it
* Megumi continues clutching at the ground, trying to stand.
* Xanatos pauses and peers down at Chad. "Hey whoa, you alright?"
<DeathStar> 6* Aya grabs Megumi. "He's gone. Please don't move."
<Megumi> ..N-Nrrghh...!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snarls, aiming to attack Zephyr. Suddenly she howls in pain, grabbing her throat as the collar lights up
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Someone just stun her. She's a pain in the ass when she's like this.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr jerks back
* Angela stares in shock, at both Cheryl's action and the collar.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks at Megumi. "Megumi. Please."
<DeathStar> <Aya> Sensi.
<Chad`Winters> Yeah Jus- 6He goes to stand then falls on his ass. 1"Uhh...That wasn't pleasent."
* Xanatos arches a brow. "What happened?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl, having been damaged in the front, and bleeding in the back, succumbs to the shock collar and falls.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander Cran, observing from a roof top, leans on the edge, glancing down. "Interesting." 6* He speaks to a woman behind him.
* Angela sighs and moves in, startingt o treat her wounds.
<Xanatos> * Drasek steps up beside Zephyr. "You never told me that the bird actually loses herself."
* Megumi rears back and smashes her own head into the ground, letting out a wailed groan.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks down at Cheryl pitifully. "Yeah. She's frightening in a fight."
<Chad`Winters> It's..6He winces and looks over at Cheryl and Zephyr then Aya and Megumi. 1"Nothing, don't worry about it. Just try and get Cheryl stable."
<Angela> "I had something similar when in Gear form, my pilot always was able to control it though... she seems to have it all around..."
* Angela keeps working on patching her up.
<Xanatos> Angela can take care of her. *he reaches out his left hand, the fake one* You might want to get that checked on.
<Chad`Winters> It's hard to explain, but it's fine.
<Megumi> 6Chii finally arives, huffing in the school entryway. 1"S-S...Son of a ...bitch!"
<Angela> "She'll be fine, she's taken far worse then this."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya suddenly faints, and falls backwards.
* Chad`Winters grunts and pushes himself up and moves to Aya.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Isn't she part of the military or something?
<Megumi> <Chii> So that's... it..." 6She puts her hands to her knees, heaving.
<Angela> * Jennifer walks out from the once more ruined school and stares at the scene.
* Chad`Winters kneels down beside Aya and reaches down, checking her pulse
<DeathStar> 6* It's a bit fast. Apparantly her abilities have a tol
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods.
<Megumi> 6Chii moves toward Cheryl, panting for her breath. "1"...Cherry..."
* Angela finishes working on Cheryl's wounds, applying a patch, she gets CHeryl in a comfy position and sighs a bit. "Damn girl..."
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Maybe someone should uh, call them.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is unconscious. And bloody. Whoever attacked her, could beat the hell out of a dragoon
* Megumi 's own breathing calms, her eyes rolling back as she falls asleep.
<Angela> "Pretty sure they already know."
* Angela points to Cheryl's collar.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Oh. *he pauses* Drinks, then?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I don't know how she knew this was happening, but she let me know.
<Angela> "Alex is keeping tabs on her no doubt."
<Angela> "I don't know either."
<Angela> "I just... had this feeling."
* Xanatos kneels down beside Megumi, peering at her curiously.
<Megumi> <Chii> It's something Cherry can do.
* Angela looks at Chii. "Huh?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Know when people are being attacked?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks shocked.
<Megumi> <Chii> ...Sort of.
* Chad`Winters plops down on his ass, resting himself.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> When did she gain that ability?
<Angela> "Well that might explain it, I probably absorbed that power then."
<Megumi> <Chii> I think it's related to the ability you already knew about. She keeps tabs on certain people.
<Angela> "...Then it's not a power... that's forethought."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr frowns. "I enver heard of that power before...."
<Angela> "Me either."
<Xanatos> Angela. *he stands up now* Make sure she isn't going to die. *he motions down to Megumi*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Heck, I didn't even know she kept an eye on Aya.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Oh I have. *he says with a scoff, like everyone should have*
* Angela gets up and moves over to Meg now, working on her wounds.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glances at Aya and Chad.
<Megumi> 6Chii rubs her head. 1"It's not perfect and I don't understand how it works, but it's not the first time I've seen something like that. Freyja can do it, but only with preparation and a certain exertion on something specific."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ....
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
* Angela sheugs and goes to town on Meg's wounds.
<DeathStar> Location: Hospital
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi wakes up. Zephyr flicks her nose
<Megumi> ...!
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You'll live. Good
* Angela giggles a bit.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr turns to go.
* Megumi 's eyes flare as if she's going right back into attacking, then calms. 1"...Z-...Zephyr?"
<DeathStar> 6* Aya yawns and wakes up. She didn't need a doctor.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lays in her own hospital bed, her wounds slowly healing. With evil
* Angela leans against the wall near the door. She looks at Zeph, then Meg.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr keeps going, opening the door
* Megumi grabs at her chest, wincing. She hisses in a shouted whisper. 1"Z-Zephyr!"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks back at her.
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus, apparently getting word of what happened, is sitting in Cheryl's room.
* Angela looks between them still. "Can't hurt to at least talk to her Zeph..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl opens her eyes, glancing at Marcus. "Jones."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> There's nothing to say between us.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek sits in a seat, fiddling with a datapad he probably stole.
* Megumi hangs her head, obscuring her eyes. Her voice trembles, barely reaching conversation levels. 1"...Don't... l-leave...?"
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Morning.
* Chad`Winters sits in a chair beside Aya, rubbing his temples, a pained look on his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr frowns, then moves back over and takes a seat beside Megumi. "You're such a pain." 6* She notes, then takes Megumi's hand.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Did we kill the fucker?
* Angela smiles a bit and watches quietly. Apparently happy with this.
* Xanatos steps up to Chad and Aya. "You two going to be ok?"
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks at him, then touches his head. The headache eases up, and Aya winces
<Megumi> <Chii> No.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Angela totally attacked you, like usual.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eh.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl doesn't seem to care, oddly.
<Megumi> 6Chii sits up, looking at Marcus from the other side of the bed. 1"..."
* Chad`Winters looks over at Aya, a curious look through his less painful expression. 1"I just have a headache."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> How're you feeling?
<DeathStar> <Aya> I don't like to see you hurting
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm fine. Just pissed.
<Megumi> ...S-sorry.." 6She shakes her head a bit to peer at Zephyr with one eye. 1"...I ...really sorry."
<Chad`Winters> It'll go away dear. 6He gives her a comforting look.
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Yeah, I have half a mind to hunt the guy down myself.
<Megumi> <Chii> Seriously?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shakes her head, giving Megumi a squeeze of her hand. "It's okay. We're family. I think what you're planning to do is stupid, and wrong, and it really pisses me off, and it makes me want to scream and cry, but right now, you're hurting, and I love you, and so I'll sit here with you."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks a bit surprised herself.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya hugs him. "Sorry for getting shot. Again."
* Xanatos peers between the two. "Call me if you need anything. I'm going to go home for the day." He nods and moves to leave.
* Angela has a warm smile on her face, "I'm... gonna go check on Cheryl."
* Megumi returns the grip weakly. 6"...Tell me. Everything... Tell me all that you feel... I... I will honor that. It... it is more important than selfishness.."
* Chad`Winters nods back and hugs Aya in return. 1"It's alright, you're fine now. That's all that matters."
<Xanatos> <Marcus> Freak endangered alot of innocent kids. Just to get at Megumi.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods, grim. "Yeah. I hear you."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya hugs back, peering at Megumi's room. "I hope she'll be okay."
<Megumi> <Chii> He has a creepy aura. I don't think he gave a damn. Then again, he was an alien like that little elf, so maybe he really didn't care. They're not his own.
* Xanatos is now known as Xan|SwitchingComps
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'll tell you until your ears fall off. After you're better. 6* She gives Megumi a smile.
<Megumi> It is... a promise.
* Angela steps out and heads to Cheryl's room.
* Marcus` has joined #erevis
* Megumi smiles gently, her eyes closing slowly. After a deep exhale, she seems to rest easier than before.
<Chad`Winters> One can only hope so
<Marcus`> * Drasek peers over the datapad. "You know, these things are nifty." He says to Zephyr.
* Angela steps into Cheryl
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at Drasek. "YeaH?"
* Angela steps into Cheryl's room.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances at Angela.
* Marcus` nods, glancing up at Angela.
* Angela offers her an apologetic smile. "Sorry... bout that hit."
<Marcus`> <Drasek> Yeah, I can look at all sorts of naked women and all I need to do is give them my account information.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eh. Forget about it
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You're really gross.
<Angela> "Kay. I'll hit the famfrit next time."
<Marcus`> * Drasek laughs, "Oh i'm just kidding, luv. I'm playing a game." He turns the datapad around to reveal a card game.
* Angela walks over, looking her up and down, "You're recovering well."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Soon I'll be back in the fight.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I bet it's naked cards. Perv.
<Angela> "Good."
<Marcus`> <Drasek> Words hurt, bit!
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sticks out her tongue
<Chad`Winters> Did you want to talk to her? 6He looks at Aya.
* Angela looks between them. "Mmm, well, get well soon, see you."
<DeathStar> <Aya> I'll let her and Mo--Zephyr talk for now. I think they've missed each other.
<Marcus`> * Drasek huffs, looking back to the datapad.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods once.
* Angela looks at Marcus and smiles. "See you around Marcus."
* Marcus` nods, "Later, Angie."
<Chad`Winters> Tell me something. How did you know what was going to happen back in the class room?
<Megumi> 6Chii makes faces at Angela, raspberrying.
<DeathStar> <Aya> I felt the crystals somehow.
<Chad`Winters> Makes sense.
* Angela turns and moves out, walking back along slowly to Meg's room, ignoring Chii.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander Cran walks into Cheryl's room
* Angela eyes Alex as she passes him.
* Marcus` sighs. "Jeez Cheryl. You're ultra popular today."
<DeathStar> <Alexander> You did good work today, Cheryl. 6* He notes, pulling out a datapad, scanning the collar.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just frowns.
* Marcus` watches Cran carefully.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya nods once slowly.
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander, satisfied, puts it up. "Rest easy." 6* He walks out
<Marcus`> <Drasek> You hungry, bit? I could go get you a snack from one of the vending things.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Really? That would be great. Thanks, Drasek.
* Angela cotninues her stroll down to Meg's room, taking her time.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl closes her eyes
<Chad`Winters> I also owe you both our lives too.
<Marcus`> * Drasek stands and pockets the datapad. "I'm sure Angela won't care if I steal change from her." He gets a sly smile and walks towards the exit.
<Marcus`> I don't see how you put up with him, Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Aya> We're a team, Daddy. 6* She hugs him
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm. Thanks to him, I can do what I do best.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Besides, he's practically my 'father'.
* Angela eyes Alexander leaving, "Hey Alex..."
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander purposely went the other way.
<Megumi> <Chii> Bastard. I still don't like him.
<Marcus`> Guess that means you've got years of practice then.
<Marcus`> Come now Chii. You don't like anyone.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
<Megumi> 6Chii flips Marcus the bird. 1"I like Cheryl and Katrina."
* Chad`Winters smiles, giving Aya a kiss on the top of her head
* Angela sighs and shakes her head and nearly bumps into Drasek.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
<Marcus`> Yeah, I know Chii. I know.
<Marcus`> * Drasek does bump into Angela, pausing, looking up from the datapad. "Whoa now."
* Angela blinks and blushes a bit, looking up at him. "Hey..."
<Marcus`> So Cheryl, you think you'll be healed up enough to get drunk soon?
<Marcus`> * Drasek pauses and pokes her cheeks. "Did I break something?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I could get drunk now, if there was alcohol.
<Megumi> 6Chii returns to lying on the floor opposite side of the bed.
* Angela giggles a bit, "Nope."
<Megumi> <Chii> I could sneak some in, I guess.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That's my friend.
<Megumi> <Chii> Would you drink with her, Marcus?
<Marcus`> Do I have to pay?
<Megumi> <Chii> ...No.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chii, then sighs. "You never drink with me." 6* She sighs.
<Marcus`> Sweet.
<Megumi> 6Chii hops to her feet, rubbing her neck as she looks to Cheryl. 1"...I'll have a little."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya leans on Chad, watching Angela and Drasek play around
<Marcus`> * Drasek clears his throat. "Well, i'm on important business, you know. Proper gent like me." He moves around her moving towards the vending room.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eh. Little is for pussies.
<Megumi> 6Chii gazes away from Cheryl, then quietly leaves.
<Angela> "Alrighty, see you."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I didn't say bitch!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl calls after her, then frowns.
* Angela raises a brow and shrugs, walking back into Meg's room.
<Marcus`> Glad to see you two are doing good. *he notes*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fuck. Fuck
<Marcus`> * Drasek mwuahahaha's as he lifted some coin from Angela, then proceeds to accomplish his mission.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Darien's Mansion of Anger
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes his board of ideas how to change things, with a mad gleam.
<Megumi> 6Dawn goes to knock, but then notices something. He rings the doorbell instead.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pauses, then taps a button, the board vanishing behind a wall. He adjusts his robe and moves to answer the door.
<Megumi> 6Dawn stands there silently. Holding a manilla envelope.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at him. "Dawn...? What do you want...?"
<Megumi> 6Dawn thrusts the envelope toward him, waving frantically. He has dark circles under his eyes, his irises shrunk, almost looking mad himself.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien takles the envelope, then opens it, eyeing the two photos inside, then looks at Dawn. "...well. That's...interesting..."
<DeathStar> 6* He admits, then steps aside for Dawn to come inside.
<Megumi> 6Dawn hesitates, then clutches at his face, entering.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances outside, then shuts the door

<DeathStar> RESUMATION
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl, as Chii has left to get alcohol, has gone to the roof top of the hospital, despite whatever agony it calls, simply because she's tired of being in a room. She's wearing her bloodied outfit as he gazes out at the twilight sky
* Marcus` steps up by her, since you know, he was there. "They'll be know stopping you when you put your mind to something."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eh. This body can handle it.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl peers at, propping her hand onto the side of the roof and letting it rest on the collar
* Marcus` turns to lean against the side, looking the opposite way of Cheryl. "Things between you and Chii are getting more tense."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... I guess.
<Marcus`> If I can I help, you know I will. *he glances up* But of course that's not really likely.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs. "She wants me to be something I'm not. I think she'd be happier if she went out and found McCormick."
<Marcus`> At least then she would get loads of sex.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns. "Yeah."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That bother you, Jones?
<Marcus`> What? That Kat is into Chii more than she is me?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns to face him, placing her injured back against the side of the roof.
<Marcus`> Eh, me and Kat just didn't work. She wanted something I couldn't offer, yet I wanted something she wouldn't give.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mm. I know that feeling.
<Marcus`> Yeah? It's not good, in my case it ended with her running off to play vigilante or whatever the hell she is doing. Freedom fighter or something. *he smirks at that*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Lawbreaker.
<Marcus`> You know, being so adament about taking her down. That's probably not sitting well with Chii.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> If Chii wanted to go be with her, I'd look the other way.
<Marcus`> But Chii just thinks you're saying that so she'll make her decision, then you can get upset when she 'betrays' you.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shakes her head. "No. I would."
* Chad`Winters is now known as Chad`Sleep
<Marcus`> I know that. But Chii thinks you're pulling one of those classic girl things. Or at least I guess she is.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't pull classic girl things. I'm not exactly a 'girl' in the classic sense.
<Marcus`> Hey, I know that. I think maybe Chii just stayed around because, like Dias, she thinks that you're hiding who you really are.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I at least respect Chii. And feel bad I'm not who she wants me to be.
<Marcus`> Really? *he arches a brow, glancing at Cheryl.*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yes. But I don't feel I should have to change who I am, either.
<Marcus`> Yeah, you really shouldn't. No one is important enough to change yourself for.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances at Marcus. "Hm."
<Megumi> <Chii> How cynical." 6She moves out onto the roof holding several bottles.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks toward Chii
<Marcus`> Yeah that's me. *he notes*
<Megumi> <Chii> I'm no romantic, but even I figure there's something in the universe worth moving for.
<Megumi> 6Chii hucks one of the bottles for Marcus.
* Marcus` catches it. "Yeah, there is something worth moving for."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl says nothing.
* Marcus` cracks the bottleopen. "Yourself." He takes a swig.
<Megumi> <Chii> Tch. I won't even call that smooth.
<Megumi> 6Chii moves over and gestures a second bottle to Cheryl, keeping the last, a different colour, to herself.
* Megumi is now known as Chii
<Marcus`> Believe me, Chii. It's how the world works now'a'days.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Sorry I called you a pussy.
<Chii> Eh? I wasn't angry about that.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes it. She opens it, sniffing to see what type of liqour it is.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh. 6* She doesn't bother to ask why Chii left strangely, then
<Chii> 6Chii eyes her own, a bottle of midori, then the two she gave out
<Chii> I don't know what the hell that stuff is. I asked for the strongest they sold.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl drinks it, leaning her head back.
<Marcus`> Thank you, Chii. I'll pay you back sometime.
* Marcus` lets out a whistle, after a silence sets in. "We're a talkative bunch."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl slams the empty bottle down on the roof edge.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eh.

Session Ident: #erevis
<Marcus`> It's a shame we don't have a karaoke machine. Now that's where the fun times are had.
* Chii peers at the two, having only taken two drinks from her own.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I hate singing. 6* She notes, her words slurred
* Marcus` begins to balance his now empty bottle on his finger, doing horrible and dropping it. "It's alright, you probably stink at it."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fuck you
* Marcus` starts laughing. "You could prove me wrong, you know. Belt out a song and just knock my socks right off."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fuck you. 6* She says again. She seems incredibly wasted, probably due to pain medication and alcohol
* Marcus` sighs, "If we must." He starts to pull his shirt off, though he can't seem to do that.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rolls her eyes, sitting on the edge
* Chii facepalms and groans.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl clears her throat, and belts out horrible sounding lyrics
* Marcus` drops his shirt and stares.
<DeathStar> 6* Patients suffer
* Marcus` rubs at his ears.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl continues her assault
<Marcus`> Okay. OKay! *he rubs his head*
* Marcus` is now known as Xan|ChangingFiend
* Xan|SwitchingComps is now known as Marcus`
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just gets louder
* Chii rubs her neck, then begins to softly sing, in a deep resonant manner, not singing lyrics, praytell, but just vocalizing a haunting and eery melody that could very well disrupt the soul.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl finishes off with a howl, then gets silent
* Marcus` peers between the two. "Dear god I think i've lost my buzz, and I really feel like killing myself."
<DeathStar> 6* She then whistles high pitched like a dog whistle
* Chii waves a hand upward and lifts her tone up to a higher pitch, somewhere between an opera singer and an old metal growl.
* Chii pauses abrubtly and falls to her knees, grabbing at her ears. 1"N-nragh!"
* Marcus` groans and falls over, landing on the glass from his broken bottle.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl laughs drunkenly
* Marcus` slowly stands up and eyes the glass in his arm. "Ouch." He starts to pick it out.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl quiets down, then begins to sing softly, a beautiful melody, but it's under her breath. She forgets the two have super ears
* Chii wiggles a finger furiously within one ear, twitching miserably.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl continues to sing her little tone, having a pleasant voice when she's not trying to kill
<DeathStar> *tune
* Marcus` leans besider Cheryl again after fishing the bits out of his arm, he glances at her out of the corner of his eyes. "That's pretty attractive."
* Chii sits cross-legged, quietly listening with one ear.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses, then glares. "What is?" 6* She asks drunkenly.
<Marcus`> Oh nothing. Nothing. *he rubs his face, letting out a yawn*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... ... that's right. Nothing
<Marcus`> Don't start a fight with me Cheryl. You know I would win.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes him, then activates her whip.
<Chii> <Chii> ...The hell..?
* Marcus` lets out a whistle. "You're right. I would totally lose."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl deactivates the whip.
<Chii> Actually you'd win.
* Marcus` frowns. "Jeez, you just scared the crap out of me."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chii.
* Chii takes another drink from her bottle, then gestures with her free hand. 1"You're just a pussy and forgot about the collar."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sneers
<Marcus`> Huh? *he arches a brow*
<Chii> She can't attack us. Just threaten emptily.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns her back to them, and dangles off the roof with her feet, looking down
<Chii> If that weren't there though, yeah, she'd rip you a few new ones.
<Marcus`> Right. *he glances slightly over his shoulder at her* You'd best not fall, cause then I'd have to throw Chii down after you.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl considers, then hops off
<DeathStar> 6* Despite it being a 10 story hospital
<Chii> ...Th-The fuck!?
* Marcus` groans. "I was so joking, too." He reaches out to nudge Chii over after her.
* Chii is halfway there, and swan dives over the egde.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lands in a crouch, wincing in pain and agony, glad she's drunk. The ground cracks slightly under her.
* Marcus` whistles and goes inside to take the elevator down.
* Chii glad she's not drunk, forms a seal and throws her palm down, forming a wind gust to pad her fall. "1Futon!"6 She lands with nary a sound.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands up.
<Chii> Th-The hell, Cherry? You're going to feel that one..
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl doesn't respond to her, ignoring it like she always does when Chii calls her Cherry.
* Marcus` steps outside dusting his hands off. "Told you I would throw her."
* Chii cups her hands. 1"Cherry."
<Chii> Cherry. Cherry, Cherry... Cherry!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods to Marcus. "You're a man of your word, Jones."
* Chii dances around behind Cheryl. 1"Cheeerry!"
* Marcus` smirks. "You know. I would probably have shot her already."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns. She looks like she's annoyed.
* Chii jerks slightly, gazing away when Marcus says that.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Whatever. She wants to call me a name I hate, her perogative.
<Chii> Why do you hate it!? It's cute!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leans against Marcus, putting an arm around him. "Will you hurt her for me?"
<Marcus`> Well, I could probably do something involving Kat, that would hurt her pretty good.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl drops her arm.
<Chii> If you try to sleep with Katrina to get to me I will fucking end your sad existence, furball.
* Chii raises a finger. 1"Then dance on your grave, cursing your ancestors and any spawn you may have unwittingly created."
<Chii> And then I will get angry.
* Marcus` shakes his head. "I see that i'm allowed to have sex with you, Cheryl. But Kat is off limits."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns a bit, brushing her hand through her bangs.
<Chii> Fuck no you weren't, but Cheryl here told me it was none of my business.
* Chii crosses her arms. 1"So I have to let it go. Once."
<Marcus`> Once, eh?
<Chii> If you do it again, I won't kill you.
* Chii smiles sweetly. Sadistically.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ....
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the two
<Marcus`> ....right. I'm curious as to how your opinion on what someone else does actually matters?
* Chii drops the smile and narrows her eyes, her fingers cracking.
<Marcus`> I mean, granted, you're allowed to be upset if someone doesn't something you don't agree with. But Killing? That's extreme, too extreme.
<Marcus`> NRP: does*
* Chii glances away. 1"So what?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl removes her bloodied shirt, so she's only wearing a tank top and pants, then moves out, waving at people to see if she can sucker them for a ride
* Chii walks after Cheryl. 1"Cherry, you're not checked out yet."
<Marcus`> Eh, you do what you have too, Chii. *he glances at the two* Cheryl, I could give you a ride. *he motions to a motorcycle*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I hate motorcycles.
<Chii> She hates motorcycles.
* Chii peers slowly toward Cheryl.
<Marcus`> Seriously? But they look so macho and cool.
* Chii facepalms, now sounding like Marcus.
<DeathStar> 6* A few sleazy guys in their early twenties check out Cheryl. "You want a ride, babe?" 6* They eye her. Cheryl drunkenly sounds like a cheerleader. "Like, totally."
* Chii glares toward the guys.
<DeathStar> 6* They ignore the fox eared, tailed demon. Freaky.
<Marcus`> Jesus, I can already tell this is going to end bad.
* Chii reaches back and pulls out one of her kunai, moving for the rear of their vehicle.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl climbs into the back between two guys. "You boys know any good bars?"
<DeathStar> 6* The boys nod eagerly, and begin to pull away.
* Chii gashes the back tire.
<DeathStar> 6* And promptly have problems and bumps into another car
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns to look at Chii, not pleased. The guys leap out. "What the hell, bitch?!"
* Marcus` snorts, laughing at Chii.
* Chii peers at them, the knife she's holding, then back at them.
<DeathStar> 6* They pull out their own knives
* Chii puts the knife away. 1"..."
<DeathStar> <Guys> You better be fixing that tire!
<Chii> Oh. Sure.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits there, looking pissed
* Chii turns toward the vehicle and holds up a hand, a simple seal. She whispers 1"Katon." 6And melts it to the street.
<DeathStar> 6* The guys freak out
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl climbs out of the car and begins to walk off
* Chii puts a hand to her hips. 1"Little cocksuckers."
* Marcus` sighs and shakes his head, hopping on his motorcycle, pulling out to move up beside Cheryl, where he would idle along beside her. "I can help you escape." He notes.
<Chii> Don't bother. I just pissed her off.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She twitches, then climbs onto the back of it
<Chii> Enjoy.
* Chii turns the other way, heading for the base.
* Marcus` begins to drive off, probably toward Chery's home. "So why don't you like Motorcycles?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lives on base now
* Marcus` just moves towards a bar, then, since he's sure Cheryl doesn't want to be around Chii.
* Chii slashes the tires on random vehicles on her rampage home.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl spits out her own hair. "They're slow, low to the ground, noisy, they vibrate..." 6* She spends ten mins rattling off things
<Marcus`> Well they're no gear, I'll give you that. *he slows to a stop outside a place, glancing over his shoulder at her* I could take you back to the base if you just want to go to sleep.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'd rather get plastered. 6* She notes with a slur
<Marcus`> You're in luck. You're almost there. *he says after shutting the bike off*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets off the bike. With her shirt off, her patched back can be seen, though and she has funky tattoos on her arms and chest.
<Marcus`> Hey, I didn't mean to start a fight between you two. I was just joking around. *he says when he gets off the bike*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You? She attacked those idiots.
<Marcus`> Well I brought up Kat, and that caused you to walk off, thus bring about said idiots.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eh. Whatever. Not like I'm jealous
<Marcus`> If you say so. *he says with a nod*
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks into the bar, getting a few looks for her attire and tattoos. She moves over and sits down, ordering something light, since she's already wasted
* Marcus` sits down beside her, probably also getting looks for the fact that the black tattoo on his face isn't very attractive.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's is. Bitch
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It's probably all my fault. Like always.
* Marcus` orders a beer. "I'm sure that like most every other situation, the fault can be spread out evenly."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets her drink when it's delivered, throwing it back, then flops her head onto the bar
<DeathStar> 6* A beer is put before Marcus
* Marcus` takes a gulp of the alcohol and props his head up on his hand, which is propped up on the bar. "So..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... So?
<Marcus`> I dunno. I want to talk about something, just everything we start to talk about is all depressing.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't talk about happy things.
<Marcus`> Yeah? Well at least I know to not expect talk of raindbows and puppy dogs from you.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts.
* Marcus` smirks. "Though if you did, I would for sure know that the end of the universe was finally here."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ass.
* Marcus` chuckles. "Well, I guess that was overstepping it."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just takes his beer and drinks it
* Marcus` drops his mouth open. "Skank."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Dog.
* Marcus` sighs. "Well if you're going to go throwing the truth around."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl slides the beer back. "Okay, I've hit my limit. The room is spinning and I'll probably puke later."
<Marcus`> Ewww. Do I have to hold your hair?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll do it privately. Thank you
<Marcus`> Oh yeah? I mean, I could totally do it. But of course, puking is like a weak moment, so I understand.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I didn't use to puke. Goddammit
<Marcus`> That blood transfusion thing really changed you, didn't it?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Now I'm evil empowered.
<Marcus`> Now you get sweet tattoos and searing pain, and you even get to puke like the rest of us common folk.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't really care about the first two
<Marcus`> I'm self-centered. So anything that possibly ruins my looks makes me sad.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts again.
* Marcus` arches a brow. "Don't say something that'll hurt my feelings. I'm handsome, and the girls love me."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> If you say so
<Marcus`> If I don't then who will, right?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl doesn't bother replying
<Marcus`> Don't worry, the puking thing, you get used to it after years of experience
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then I won't have to worry about getting use to it
<Marcus`> Oh yeah? You don't plan on living very much longer?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just sneers.
<Marcus`> I'll take that as a maybe.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Take it as whatever
<Marcus`> I pretty much have too, unless you tell me how I should take it. *he pauses* But then what would be the point of interpretation?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the bar, reflectively.
<Marcus`> Well, I know at the path you're taking right now. Your time will be up soon. *he says finally*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Everyone's time will be up sooner or later, Jones. As a weapon, time doesn't really mean much to me.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ending my enemy does.
<Marcus`> Sure, I get that. But your enemy, by my experience of being one, is just the person in front of you. A larger goal for an enemy. Like Legion or Asmodeus, where killing them should be all that matters, that would seem like more of a proper goal.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs.
<Marcus`> It would be a downright shame for you to get your ass kicked by one of the lesser baddies right before a huge, epic fight with their leader.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> If it happens, it happens.
<Marcus`> A good weapon would take the right steps to ensure that their time ends when they deem it too.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Maybe. I don't really care, though
* Chii is now known as Megumi
* Marcus` nods. "Well I obviously can't make you care, so that's enough of that topic." He rubs at his eye. "So I think Zephyr is mad at me, or was or maybe she still is, I dunno."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Blame me.
<Marcus`> That would be the easy thing to do. Too bad I have morals and all that crap. *he says with a sigh*
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then I'll deal with her if you want.
<Marcus`> No, no. I'll get around to talking to her. Just making conversation, bad choice of topic I guess.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
<Marcus`> Look, I don't want you to think that i'm like Dias or Chii, since i'm trying to keep a conversation going. I can be honest to you, so I like to bring up things when they come to me.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I see.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lays her head on the bar. "Whatever. If I was pissed, I'd leave."
<Marcus`> Yeah, I know. I just really hate misunderstandings, so I try to avoid them.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine.
<Marcus`> So honestly, if you could actually stomach being with a girl. You would be with Chii, wouldn't you?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just stares at him. "Huh?"
<Marcus`> I'm just curious, you know. Since you two fight like a couple most of the time.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I think she likes Katrina that way more than me.
<Marcus`> Am I wrong?
* Marcus` pauses and arches a brow. "Cheryl, if she liked Kat more she would have already left."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> She's here because I'm a pet project. A soul she wants to save.
<Marcus`> I'm pretty sure she wants you to feel and all that because she wants you to feel for her. She's head over heels in love with you.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl laughs at that. "In love with me. HA ha ha ha ha."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> We're just friends, Marcus. I think she would like a sister relationship....but that's about it
* Marcus` arches a brow. "Well I could be wrong, that's possible. But I'm still sticking to the love thing. Why else would she freak out when you talk to other guys or have sex with...well me."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Because Chii doesn't know how to control her emotions
<Marcus`> Yeah? Well it seems to me she expresses them pretty well, so getting upset over things like that is a clear sign that she cares.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs. "I don't deny she cares."
<Marcus`> Ok, on a friend level, do you think I would get pissed at Dias, be it we were still friends, if he slept with other girls?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No.
<Marcus`> But I care about Dias. He's one of my best friends.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mmm.
<Marcus`> So, why would Chii, unless she cared...more, than the average friendship.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *shrugs* Like I said, she can't control her emotions. And apparantly I'm her only friend besides McCormick
<Marcus`> Yeah. Kat's her friend, and what does she do with Kat, or did with Kat?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. McCormick fucked her up in the head.
<Marcus`> Yeah, she really did. So that's why i'm saying. A friendship in her words. Is a relationship in the normal sense to us. Since Kat being 'friends' with her, was using her to have sex with and all those other naughty things.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs. "I think I made it clear I won't be fucking Chii."
<Marcus`> Oh i'm sure you did. But that brings me back to my point where she most likely wants more, and until she gets it, there are always going to be fights and tension between you two.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So, I should just cut her off so she can move on? 6* She states emotionlessly.
<Marcus`> I'm not telling you what to do. I'm just explaining the situation from an outsiders view. I mean hey, if she says she can deal, who are you to call her a liar, right?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just looks at him.
<Marcus`> I just wish I knew what you were doing to have everyone fighting for your attention. I'd love some of it.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hm. You can have it.
<Marcus`> Don't worry, if I could take it. I would gladly take it off your hands.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts.
<Marcus`> Well, except for the Dias thing, that would just be gay.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes him again
* Marcus` shrugs.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl goes to stand, bumping into someone. She gives them a bird when he glares at her. "I think I'm ready to go back."
<Marcus`> Yeah. Let's hope you don't topple off the back. *he stands, moving for the door*
* Marcus` steps outside and then gets onto his bike, starting it up.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets on the back, putting her arms around him
* Marcus` pulls out and turns left to go back towards the base. "You know, I don't think things will get easier anytime soon, the drama with everyone else. But if you feel like you need someone to vent too, I'm your man. It'll be like i'm holding your hair back, mentally and all that.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Hm. I'll keep that in mind.
<Marcus`> Good. *he pulls up to the base, stopping*

<DeathStar> 6* Cedarton wipes his glasses as he makes Megumi repair stuff with her powers.
<Kit> 6Megumi dutifully heads from 'sector' to 'sector,' having mapped the damaged areas in her head while in the hospital. She's attempting to be efficient about it, but the tax on herself is certainly caught up and she's making slow progress, needing frequent breaks.
<DeathStar> <Cedarton> That's good enough for now. You may stop repairing stuff.
<Kit> <Megumi> I am unfinished..
<DeathStar> <Cedarton> I said you can stop. Besides. You have papers to grade now. 6* He dumps a stack of documents onto a desk
<Kit> <Megumi> U-Ungh...
<Kit> 6Megumi rubs her head. 1"..O-Oh well. I suppose I could handle that..."
<DeathStar> <Cedarton> There are many students eagerly waiting their grades.
<Kit> 6Megumi sighs, nodding slowly, then heads for the desk and sits down.
<DeathStar> 6* Cedarton stands beside the desk as she grades. Hawk like

* Chad-Raking is now known as Chad`Winters
<Kit> 6Megumi sighs after grading a sizeable chunk. They never end. Never end...
<DeathStar> 6* Cedarton glances at her progress, then at his stopwatch
<Kit> 6Megumi slowly turns to gaze at Cedarton. She looks a bit downtrodden. 1"Why... are you timing me?"
<DeathStar> <Cedarton> I'm seeing how efficent you are.
<Kit> <Megumi> I am injured...
<DeathStar> <Cedarton> Such excuses shouldn't get in the way of education.
* anna30 has joined #erevis
* anna30 has quit IRC (Quit: Client Exited)
<Kit> 6Megumi frowns, refraining from puffing her cheeks as she goes back to work, eyeing numbers and princples with malice. It's bound to be her harshest grading period yet.
<DeathStar> 6* Poor Jennifer
<Kit> 6Megumi finishes with a huff.
<DeathStar> 6* Cedarton clicks off the stopwatch. He makes a Hmmmmm sound as he studies the time
<DeathStar> 6* Cedarton pockets the watch. "Adequate. You may keep your job."
<Kit> 6Megumi staggers. 1"Wh-What..?!"
<DeathStar> 6* Cedarton boredly moves off to scold some teachers.
<Kit> <Megumi> That is what that was about!?
<DeathStar> 6* Cedarton leaves as mysterously as he arrivec
<Kit> 6Megumi drops her head into the stack of papers.

<DeathStar> Location: Hospital
<DeathStar> 6* Two days of good rest and relaxation has done wonders for the Famfrit wonder.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr steps in, wearing a pink light jacket, and jeans.
<Chii> 6Megumi takes a deep breath now that her fatigue is finally wearing away.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes her, and flicks her nose.
<Chii> 6Megumi makes something akin to a chirp and snaps her eyes open. 1"Ah!"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You seem better.
<Chii> <Megumi> ...A bit. I still need to suppress my manifest from activating on its own or it will cause trouble.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, that's a good idea.
<Chii> <Megumi> Would not do to have it activate and heal me just to break another part down in the process. Haa..
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sits down beside her. "Sounds complicated."
<Chii> <Megumi> It... It is not. Because essentially became an instinctual being, my body and mind adapted to preserve itself. Even though I have regained myself in this age, my mind and body remain protective.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh. And that's bad now?
<Chii> <Megumi> Although it is acting in its interest, it has overstepped its limitations, so I must consciously prevent it from overworking itself from inside out.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Gotcha. And when you go all grrrr, you can't.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr makes a grrr face and holds up her hands like claws
<Chii> 6Megumi stares then laughs weakly. 1"Yes. 'Grrr!'"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr giggles as well
<Chii> <Megumi> Given time my body will rejuvenate and 'catch up.' But when that happens, it overexerts my body and old wounds that have not fully healed naturally will return and my body will break down if I undergo too much stress. So I suppress it when I am awake to delay that."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods once, then twice.
<Chii> <Megumi> ...Grrrr!
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Right, Grrr! I get the Grrrr!
<Chii> 6Megumi holds up her hands pathetically cat pawing.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr messes up Megumi's hair
<Chii> A-Ahh!
<Chii> 6Megumi peers upward, pouting. 1"..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr props her head up with her hands, staring at Megumi.
<Chii> 6Megumi peers toward Zephyr sheepishly.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So. What do you plan to do?
<Chii> <Megumi> I will have to help repair the school and... I will probably need to resign...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Maybe not. But I meant....long term.
<Chii> <Megumi> Hmm...? ... O-Oh..
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nds.
<Chii> 6Megumi's ears shrink downward a bit. 1"I... I still want to change things."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr frowns.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So that's it...?
<Chii> 6Megumi shakes her head. 1"...If I merely did as I wished, I would be a hypocrite for being angry with beloved's decision."
<Chii> <Megumi> It will be my decision to listen.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sighs.
<Chii> 6Megumi gazes toward Zephyr guiltily.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I've said my piece many times on changing things. I'm tired of sounding like a broken record.
<Chii> That is... your will?
<Chii> NRP: Megumi >_>
* Chii is now known as Megumi
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm going to make sure things go like they're suppose to go, because that's what mom died for. And rendering her death meaningless would be insult to her. If something like what brought me back came along, then yeah, I'd use it to bring Mom back. But I'm not changing time.
<Megumi> What if... I did not agree with your acceptance of Mama's decision?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Then I guess some where down the road, I'd have to stop you. 6* She notes, glancing down.
<Megumi> I do not believe Mama did this to ensure the continuity.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> She wouldn't want the timeline destroyed.
<Megumi> She had agreed to alter it with me.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Maybe. Look. 6* She sighs. "I don't want to debate it. We both have our standpoints."
<Megumi> I do not plan on 'destroying' this timeline. Just unraveling the knot.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Megumi. You can't unravel things. Think about it. If you change the past, you destroy the now
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Legion himself wanted to do it. Don't you think that's a bad thing?
<Megumi> ..I have wanted to change things all along and Legion has specifically targeted me on many occasions. I find it curious. But Zephyr...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ...
* Megumi closes her eyes and sighs gently. 1"...Through my actions and inactions I have caused you immeasurable amounts of sorrow from my own design. I have left you with an empty promise and twice without Mama. I... cannot atone for any of that. If it were you-- You to say that I am wrong and should remain complacent with the state of things... I will heed."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I do think you're wrong and I do think you shouldn't change things. But I really can't see why you would change your entire plan and ideals just because I say to
<Megumi> Right now there remains only two people living that I can truly say I would go to any lengths to protect. I may have my own twisted morality, but when it comes to it, there are only two of you I would trade everything else and myself for.
<Megumi> Of those two, only you, Zephyr, have really seen all there is to me. Aya is just too innocent. Sadly, she may be experiencing some of what plagues me firsthand, but I cannot say she will understand it enough to reason like you.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sighs. "Look. I think it's the wrong move. I do. And I think it'll lead to you and I being on opposing sides if you pursue it. But I can't make you do what you don't want to do."
<Megumi> No, you cannot.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I mean, Erevis says you and her are meant to be together, but no one can make you pursue her and date her and get her to fall in love with you, right? And I'd feel sick if you did it for others' sake.
* Megumi smiles slightly, leaning back. 1"You can, however, change what I want to do."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shakes her head.
<Megumi> Zephyr... What happens when all the runes are gathered?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> The Rune Blade can use all the elements.
<Megumi> Is that all?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I think so, yeah.
<Megumi> I wonder...
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sits there, looking worn out
<Megumi> Centerpoint is gone. The rune blade is broken presently, but we know that beloved will use it upon Legion.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah...
<Megumi> They are beyond us, but they are clearly possible to be created, and therefore mended or restored.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Maybe.
* Megumi laughs lightly. 1"No, they can. We know this because we have already seen the end effect."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You can't be sure she doesn't find the whole Rune Blade somewhere, and that the one we have now will jsut remain broken forever
<Megumi> Even if that is true, the whole one would have to come from somewhere.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Uh, from space. Where it was lost.
<Megumi> You believe it survived the destruction of a reality-altering zone intact?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shrugs. "Maybe. I'm just saying maybe. Are you trying to change the subject?"
* Megumi shakes her head.
<Megumi> I merely find it doubtful that it could remain intact from that, yet be broken by Legion when he is nowhere near ascended to the level at which he was defeated in this timeline.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shrugs. "I dunno. So are you going to change time?"
<Megumi> In fact, it was you, Zephyr, that damaged him twice before he reached that point. You should technically be able to break it, then, or perhaps reforge it?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at her oddly.
<Megumi> It is only theorizing, Zephyr.
* Megumi tilts her head slightly. 1"Seeing as I must adapt."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I don't think I can, but I never tried, either.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Wait, what do you mean by adapt?
<Megumi> Well, If I cannot change the timeline, I will just have to preserve it.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So you've decided not to change it...?
<Megumi> I cannot forsake your wishes. Especially if they coincide with Mama's.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> But it isn't what you want.
<Megumi> 6Megumi rubs her head. 1"It was Mama that told me she would not give me that. And becaue she did not, I was able to meet Erevis, yourself, Aya..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks, confused
<Megumi> Sometimes when I cannot have what I want, I appreciate what I have better.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods. "I'm glad I won't have to shoot you one day." 6* She sounds relieved.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I mean, uh, erm..
* Megumi smirks.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr holds up her hands, laughing nervously. "I meant figuratively.:
<Megumi> It is fine. I have grown quite accustomed to running away from your... what is it again?
<Megumi> Dragoon Buster?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Er, yeah.
<Megumi> Is it called that because a dragoon is performing it, or because it busts dragoons?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> The first.
* Megumi attempts a straight face, then smiles.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr scowls.
<Megumi> Hee hee.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I know you said you want to preserve the time and all that, but don't do anything you don't want to do, Zephyr. Like being with Erevis just because she said it was "meant to be". I know you're mad at her...
<Megumi> I want to be with beloved... But I am angry with her. I still feel as if she would not trust me to save her and Ariel... even if everyone is saying that it would not work. I was not even given a chance to try...
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods in understanding.
* Marcus` is now known as Xan|Gone
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I get what you mean
<Megumi> Mmh...
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr rests her chin on the edge of Megumi's bed. "Will you ever forgive her?"
<Megumi> Personally I am unsure, but considering the events of the future, I am sure there will be reason to.
* Megumi closes her eyes. 1"Perhaps when I see her, all will be forgotten instantly..?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You're so weak.
<Megumi> ...Urk!
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr smiles.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Of course, with everyone lining up to be with her, it's kind of scary. 6* She notes dryly.
<Megumi> I do not think they are serious.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... some of them are. 6* She says dryly.
* Megumi sighs long.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr doesn't say which ones, though
