<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-588.12.13
<DeathStar> Location: Chad's Rad Apartment
* Chad`Winters rubs his hands clean with a towel with zeal as he steps out of the bathroom
<DeathStar> 6* Knock. Knock. Knock.
* Chad`Winters eyes the door as he steps into the living room, an annoyed look on his face, his hands still rubbing along the towel
* Chad`Winters moves to the door and unlocks it, opening it
<DeathStar> 6* A framed picture of Chad and Cran next to each other is thrust into Chad's face, with a heart drawn around them
* Chad`Winters grunts. 1"Nice to see you too Zephyr."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers around the picture, smiling. "Hi, Alex Jr."
* Chad`Winters rolls his eyes as he motions for her to step in
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr steps in, her trench coat trailing behind her. She spins around, holding up the picture to him. "You boys look cute together. I even drew yaoi." 6* She drops the framed picture and pulls out a drawing of Chad and Alex having man sex.
* Chad`Winters twitches slightly. 1"Shopping at Goth stores now are we?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You wish I were dressed like a lolita, you perv.
<Chad`Winters> I'm surprised you new what Alex looks like naked. Something you want to tell me?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes them, then reaches into her coat and pulls out a picture of Chad with a huge penis with it's own angry face, staring maliciously at poor Alex. "I think I captured your nudity perfectly."
* Chad`Winters pinches the bridge of his nose, a slightly amused look appearing on his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hops onto a chair, crossing her legs. "I knew you'd agree. You men and your egos."
<Chad`Winters> You know me and my ego. 6He moves into the kitchen. 1"Thirsty?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm good. 6* She props her elbows on the counter, holding her head up. "So, you workin' for Cran now?"
<Chad`Winters> No. 6He steps out a beer and opens it, setting it on the table. 1"I owed him a favor and I paid it off.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Aw. That's sweet.
* Chad`Winters eyes her. 1"He led me to Aya when Asmodeus took her."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes the counter
<Chad`Winters> And I hate oweing favors. Specially that man. 6He leans back in his chair. 1"He presented a chance for me to get rid of his leverage on me and I took it. So, no yaoi love sadly."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> If he wanted yaoi love as the favor, would you?
* Chad`Winters snorts. 1"No."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I see. 6* She eyes Chad. "How many women have you had sex with?"
<Chad`Winters> Two. 6He studies her.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Interesting. 6* She considers this.
<Chad`Winters> That I'm not a man-whore like Dias and Marcus?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh. Um. I didn't think that. 6* She notes, her cheeks red
<Chad`Winters> That I'm such a social hermit that I'm lucky to have two? 6He eyes her curiously now.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Of course not! You're very handsoem.
<Chad`Winters> That's what I keep telling Aya.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh?
<Chad`Winters> No. Social hermit, remember?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So, you don't ever miss a woman's touch?
* Chad`Winters shrugs. 1"I do I guess."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stares, then blinks. "Oh."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm sure hookers don't have many diseases.
* Chad`Winters eyes her blankly.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> W-What?
* Chad`Winters just laughs, shaking his head. 1"Cute."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *eyes him, then puffs her cheeks*
<Chad`Winters> And now it's all lost. 6He makes a sad face.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Grrr. 6* She paws the air like Megumi
<Chad`Winters> And borderlining creepy. 6He points at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr props her head up. "I like Megumi's antics. They're cute."
* Xanatos has joined #erevis
<Chad`Winters> Really? I find them more irritating, considering her age.
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Xanatos
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You find everything irritating. Hell, you probably find my irritating.
<DeathStar> *my antics
<Chad`Winters> Hardly. 6He waves his hands dismissively. 1"If I did, I wouldn't have started two prank wars with you."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So why overlook my antics?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I don't act my age. ... wait. 6* She pauses.
* Chad`Winters smirks, tapping his nose
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, I definitely don't act my age!
* Chad`Winters holds his hands up. 1"Alright, alright."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I am curious why you cut me slack and not everyone else.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes the beer which is on the table still, then Chad, curiously
<Chad`Winters> You were there when I first woke up and you've been there for me pretty much ever since.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Here's a hint: A lot of people would do that for you.
<Chad`Winters> Now, yeah. But not back on PAX.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I guess I'd have to burn your house down for you to hate me, eH?
<Chad`Winters> Or kick me in the crotch again.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6* She looks red in the cheeks.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> As if I'd touch that. I'd just shoot it.
* Chad`Winters leans behind him and grabs his datapad and begins writing something down on it
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What are you writing?
<Chad`Winters> I'm making a note to reinforce my tact suits crotch area.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> H-Hey!
* Ariel is now known as Zhenya
<Chad`Winters> What? 6He looks at her innocently.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr crosses her arms, glancing to the side with a hrumph.
<Chad`Winters> So how's living alone?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Quiet.
<Chad`Winters> I'm hurt that you haven't invited Aya and I over for supper.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> As if. I come over here enough.
<Chad`Winters> Too many boyfriends over?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah. I'm a whore.
<Chad`Winters> Har har. 6He rolls his eyes. 1"You should stop hanging out with Angela than.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Angela's changed.
<Chad`Winters> Not to sound like a broken records here, but she always says she's changed. And then someone gets hurt.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sighs and gets up. "Yeah yeah." 6* She moves for the door. "See you later."
<Chad`Winters> So suddenly? 6He eyes her curiously.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah. 6* She glances at him. "I'm a bit moody now."
<Chad`Winters> Look, sorry. If you're willing to give her a chance, good. I just...Too much has happened between us for me to just accept words right now.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah, but you ignore the actions, too
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr opens the door.
<Chad`Winters> I still hold her responsible for letting what happened to Aya, happen. It's going to take a lot for me to let that go.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods once. "Yeah, I know. See you soon, Chad." 6* She steps out, closing the door.
* Chad`Winters stands up, grabbing the beer bottle. He moves to the kitchen and dumps it out into the sink.
<DeathStar> -END-

Session Ident: #erevis
* Logging #erevis to 'logs\EsperNet\#erevis.20080424.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-589.1.5
<DeathStar> Location: Megumi's Pad
<DeathStar> 6* Snow covers the ground. It's cold and bitter outside.
* Kit is now known as Megumi
* Seraphna sits inside, in a sweater, where it's warm and toasty and not so bitter. She sits on the couch in the living room, reading a book.
* Megumi sits in the backward, lightly covered with a layer of snow as she seems to either be napping or meditating, who knows. She's wearing her work clothes and a scarf.
* Seraphna sighs and sits up a bit, "God it's quiet in here, never thought I'd miss the noise."
<Xanatos> * Drasek steps into the living room and plops down. "BLOODY HELL WHY THE FUCK IS IT SO QUIET!?"
* Seraphna silently rejoices. "Well hello there, it's a quiet day."
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Abandoned Space Facility
<DeathStar> 6* Darien adjusts his suit's oxygen meter, glancing at Dawn next to him. "There's air."
<Megumi> 6Dawn nods, after checking himself, and then removes his helmet.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien does the same, after Dawn doesn't die horriblely, and takes a deep breath.
<Megumi> 6Dawn squints, checking the walls and such before moving inward, sighing.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves in after Dawn, tucking his helmet in after Dawn. The two have been tasked by Alexander Cran to retrieve a box from an abandoned Janus facility from the Ridiarium War era.
<DeathStar> <Darien> It makes you wonder why he'd rather we do it than Angela. Or hell, even Chad.
<Megumi> 6Dawn shakes his head.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves to the first door, checking the door pad. He pushes the pad, but it doesn't open. No power.
<Megumi> 6Dawn gestures to Darien, then himself pointing to his own lips. He can't talk-- that seems to be the importance of the idea.
<DeathStar> <Darien> What's that? Speak up.
<Megumi> 6He turns to peer at the door, then removes a panel, from the side, bringing out some tools to check for any power at all.
<DeathStar> 6* It would appear the entire system would need some power added to it.
<Megumi> 6Dawn huffs, pointing to the panel and making a dead motion.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Let me guess. Dead. No more. Deceased. Not of this world. Out of juice. Will not open. Do not pass go.
<Megumi> 6Dawn rolls his eyes, then hands Darien a crow bar.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien rolls his, then pulls out his energy sword, activating it. He drives it into the door, and begins to cut into it
<Megumi> 6Dawn twitches a bit, hoping nothing's on the other side-- let alone something volatile.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien continues to cut away, sucidial or just plain not caring.
<DeathStar> 6* After he finishes, he knocks it with his hand, pushing the cut door inward, and revealing a circular hole. Darien pulls himself through into a dark hallway.
<Megumi> 6Dawn shakes his head and crawls through as well.
<DeathStar> 6* The hallway is long and dark, with no doors.
<Megumi> 6Dawn pulls out a flexible utility lightband and observes the hall before moving within.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves along after Dawn. As they move down the hallway, a tile shifts and suddenly, panels on the walls shift, revealing laser beams that begin to fire outward, angling behind and in front of them, moving toward them in a pattern. PREPARE YOURSELVES
<DeathStar> 6* Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Down, Up, Right, Down, Left, Right, Right, Up, Down
<Megumi> 6Dawn jerks in surprise, sweating.

<DeathStar> 6* Dawn and Darien manage to ninja flip through the various lasers as they shoot around them, both of them landing in slow motion in the hallway.
<Megumi> 6Dawn peers back irritated. Military-- should figure it has a standalone secondary power source... and defenses.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien rises to his feet. The lasers suddenly come around again, moving for them.
<Megumi> 6Dawn runs forward, not wanting to get caught in them again.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien rushes after them. "Goddamn Cran."
<Megumi> 6Dawn holds up an 'okay' sign, apparently agreeing.
<DeathStar> 6* As the two move down the hallway, they slam into an energy field -- 5 feet in front of the exit door into the facility
<DeathStar> 6* The lasers move in
<Megumi> 6Dawn would curse. He reaches for his data pad and looks for another panel to kick open.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien turns to face the lasers as Dawn kicks the wall, revealing circuits. "Come on. Hurry it up."
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Megumi's Pad
<Xanatos> * Drasek sits there thumping on the arms of the chair he is in, making some odd rythyms that are probably meant to be drum patterns.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Space Facility
<DeathStar> 6* The laser get closer.
<Megumi> 6Assuming he can find one, Dawn kicks a panel open and runs an elastic wire out tapping in. He quickly tries to find a live line to slice the mainframe running the security.
<DeathStar> 6* Dawn succeeds, but to turn off the power source, he must do the OPPOSITE GAME. Failure will result IN LASERS TO THE FACE!!!!
<DeathStar> 6* Prepare YOURSELF
<DeathStar> 6* Left, Right, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right, Up, Down

<DeathStar> 6* The field deactivates.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shifts, moving himself through the passable barrier and opens the door, diving in without a second thought
<Megumi> 6Dawn twitches visibly, having let them get way, way too close. He sees what else is active now while he's at it and pulls up seperate windows to check on the power source info and the energy wall's status.
<DeathStar> 6* The lasers come at Dawn.
<DeathStar> 3

<DeathStar> 1
* Megumi turns it off
<Megumi> NRP Dawn >_>
<DeathStar> 6* The lasers can't be turned off. They smash into him.
<DeathStar> 6* The lasers are beginning to cut into Dawn!
<Megumi> 6Dawn moves -_-;
<DeathStar> 6* The lasers follow
<Megumi> 6Dawn shifts into the room with Darien, dragging his damn datapad with him.
<DeathStar> 6* The lasers can't follow. They lurk outside
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Dawn. His eyes widen. "What the hell happened?"
<Megumi> 6Dawn stares toward Darien an ditches the suit, since being cut in several places makes it unsealed and useless anyway.
<DeathStar> 6* The new room seems to be a series of construction areas, for building things. Though there's nothing left now but empty converior belts. On the far side is the manager office that Cran wanted them to enter.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Did you try to fight the lasers?
<Megumi> 6Dawn stretches, wearing the sleeveless tactsuit and utilitarian clothes again. He peers around and looks for another panel or a terminal to interact with. He wants to know what else is active-- plus they have to exit the way they came anyway and lasers fucking suck.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves for the manager office.
<DeathStar> 6* Opening the door, Darien peers into the dark office. There's indeed a terminal for Dawn to play around with, as well as the safe Alexander wanted opened. Darien moves to deal with the safe.
<Megumi> 6Dawn peer at Darien, hoping he doesn't set anything else off. He works on disabling the security and turning up anything else active. Maybe archives or logs.
<DeathStar> 6* That would require more opposite games to achieve.
<DeathStar> 6* PREPARE YOURSELF
<DeathStar> 6* Left, Right, Up, Down, Up, Left, Down, up, Down, Left, Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right

<DeathStar> 6* Dawn fails to hack the system.
<DeathStar> 6* An alarm bleeps, then dies.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances up, then at Dawn.
<Megumi> 6Dawn peers upward, then attempts again, silently grumbling. Will probably be a pain in the ass now.
<DeathStar> 6* PREPARE
<DeathStar> 6* Left, Right, Up, Down, Left, Right

<DeathStar> 6* The lasers deactivate.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien unlocks the safe, and pulls out the lockbox.
<Megumi> 6Dawn waves a hand at Darien, and goes back to passive searching while Darien's doing the dirty work
<DeathStar> 6* All the files are empty. Either due to the failed attempt earlier, or already that way.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I got it. We can go back home.
<Megumi> 6Dawn nods and disconnects the datapad, sighing. Nothing useful found on his end. He packs it away and peers toward what Darien's collected.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes the box, but doesn't force it open, less Cran know it and withhold information. He retraces their route back to the shuttle.
<Megumi> 6Dawn follows Darien quietly, but damn curious. For all he knows, whatever it is has something to do with what he asked anyway.
<DeathStar> 6* As they two get on the shuttle and leave, a pair of red eyes peer at the shuttle from the darkness
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-589.1.7
<DeathStar> Location: Xanatos' Apartment
* Xanatos stands in his kitchen at the stove, cooking himself a meal.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Cran's Mansion
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander glances at the lockbox before him, as Darien and Dawn stand on the other side of the desk.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> You managed to succeed.
<Megumi> 6Dawn stares at him coldly, eyeing the scorch marks he received.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien boredly thumbs through a book
<DeathStar> 6* Alexander takes a datapad, placing it down on the desk. "All the information you want is on that datapad."
<Megumi> 6Dawn reaches for it and pulls it up, browsing its drive idly.
<DeathStar> 6* He stands up and moves out with the lockbox, leaving the two alone, though no doubt they're being watched.
<DeathStar> 6* The information states that the Janus Black Ops attempted to use mind altering techniques on the hometown of Dawn Aligerihi in an attempt to create psionics. The results were madness in 95% of the population. Insanity.
<Megumi> 6Dawn frowns at the general consensus, looking for specifics.
<DeathStar> 6* The project used [classified] materials to stimulate certain parts of the brains to try to produce the psion-gene that is so rarely found in people. The result backfired, and many people became delusional, and some even murdered those around them. The town tore itself apart. Some even claimed they were killing monsters, when in reality, they were just tearing apart regular citizens
<DeathStar> 6* Darien reads over Dawn's shoulder.
<Megumi> 6Dawn winces slightly, eyeing the missing piece, searching through other records.
<Megumi> 6Dawn looks for lists of people on the project, or specific subjects.
<DeathStar> 6* The incident was covered up afterwards, and the project was abandoned. Those that showed potential to the gene growth were kept. Dawn's sister's name is one. It also seems, if Alexander Cran is telling the truth, Katrina McCormick was another.
<DeathStar> 6* None of the scientists who worked on the project are listed, however.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien clucks his tongue.
<Megumi> 6Dawn quirks his eyebrows. The redhead? He grinds his teeth a bit. Sure, the general idea is there, but the information given is rather unfulfilling.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Katrina McCormick? Now that's one I didn't see coming.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien crosses his arms, leaning on a bookshelf.
<Megumi> 6Dawn eyes Darien. He didn't recognize Katrina, so he isn't sure what to think about it, but then he is missing pieces of his own mind.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Perhaps we should talk to ol' Kat and see what she knows.
<Megumi> 6Dawn types out something and tilts it toward Darien. [I told her what I remembered and she didn't say anything to suggest she knew. Though that doesn't mean she doesn't, I guess.]
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, first rule of investigating - never trust anyone.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves for the exit. "You coming?"
<Megumi> 6Dawn pauses, then nods and puts the datapads on his belts, following.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Megumi's Catbox
* Megumi rises, shifting to get the snow off her, then turns and re-enters the house.
<DeathStar> 6* Angela's datapad beeps.
<Xanatos> * Drasek lays oddly in the chair, one leg up on the arm of it, the other stretched out along the floor, he snoozes lightly, by snoring like a bear.
* Seraphna looks at it, pulling it out and checking her messages.
<DeathStar> 6* The message begins to download a file
* Seraphna sets it aside and eyes Drasek, standing up she grabs some coffee from teh kitchen and sets a bear down on top of him.
* Megumi makes a face at the sight of Drasek. She goes to her room and retrieves her comm, trying to contact Zephyr.
<Xanatos> 6* Drasek doesn't move, since you know, unless it was a real bear, it wouldn't wake him.
* Seraphna positions it against his face so it's the first thing he sees when he wakes.
<Xanatos> * Drasek doesn open his eyes at the touching on his face, he eyes the bear and jumps, then pauses and narrows his eyes. "...that was rude, luv."
<DeathStar> 6* The datapad beeps again
* Seraphna giggles, then picks up her datapad and checks it.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr answers the comm in a sultry tone. "Yes, lover?"
<DeathStar> 6* It appears to be a diary. Her father's diary.
* Seraphna blinks a bit and begins to go through it, sitting down, reading. "What..."
<Megumi> Wh-wha...!?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr giggles. "Oh, hi Megumi."
<Xanatos> * Drasek rubs his head and sits up, tossing the bear aside, he looks around. Then arches a brow at Sera. "Serious face, tiny."
<Megumi> <Megumi> H-Hello..." 6She seems to have lost the assertion in her voice. "1...Um.."
<DeathStar> 6* The diary talks about a lot of work related materials dealing with the Betas. Some things about her mother. There's also some references to Angela. Usually in the negative. Talking about how she is needy, and how he wishes he could find someone to deal with her full time. And how she lacks the intelligence he had hoped she would have."
<Seraphna> "It's my father's journal..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What's up? 6* She still giggles.
* Seraphna slowly begins to look upset as she reads on.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Yeah? Prancy git like that would keep a journal wouldn' he.
<Seraphna> "You've never met him..."
<DeathStar> 6* One entry in particular is very harsh, discussing how Angela screwed up another school project that should have been easy, and distracted his work asking for his help. He rants about it for a few lines, before going back to his Betas, which he talks about with love.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Like you would even know. *he snorts*
* Seraphna curls up a bit on the couch, unable to help herself from reading. "You're right... I guess..."
<DeathStar> 6* About a dozen pages go without even mentioning Angela, now.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> You don't have to be a billion years old to remember a recent president.
<Seraphna> "Not Alexander..."
* Seraphna keeps reading on, suddenly gaining a distaste for her old passion, the Betas.
<Megumi> <Megumi> ...Zephyr, do you still have anything to do with Mister Drasek?
<DeathStar> 6* An entry talks about sending Angela away to stay with some relatives on a colony while he does work on a new type of Beta that will put the others to shame. He even ironically discusses how he is using his daughter's face for it. 'Perhaps it will be the daughter I clearly lack.'
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> We talk now and again.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Wait, how many fathers do you have?
<Seraphna> "He... no..."
<Seraphna> "Two..."
* Seraphna keeps going, despite looking like she's going to be ill.
<Megumi> Did you know he has been loafing here?
<DeathStar> 6* The entries discuss nearing completion of the newest Beta model, and meeting with General Cran to discuss it. The entries stop then, a few days before Darien estimated Chad killed them.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I see him there all the time, so I gathered.
<Megumi> Do you have any idea why?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Uh, maybe he doesn't have anywhere to live?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You're just now asking this after like 5 months?
* Seraphna sits back, staring up at the cieling. "He chucked me away... like trash..."
* Megumi sighs a bit. 1"Well...."
<Xanatos> <Drasek> You going to ralf there, tiny? Cause, I won't hold your hair.
* Seraphna looks at him quietly and stands up slowly, she starts to cry as she walks for her room.
<Megumi> I thought it might have to do with Erevis and if I send everyone away it would be... empty here.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I don't know. If you want to throw him out, then go ahead. I mean. It's your house now.
* Megumi huffs audibly. 1"Frankly, I would rather have you here than two people with no reason."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Aw, that's sweet.
<Megumi> I have a feeling if you did, Mister Drasek would never leave.
<Xanatos> * Drasek pauses and stands up, moving to follow after Angela.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Heh. I don't know.
* Megumi changes points. 1"I have been thinking of moving."
* Seraphna stops at her door, not noticing him at all in her daze, she starts to stumble into her room.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What? Why? That's a nice house.
<Megumi> I feel like rebuilding the original.
<Megumi> There is... no reason to hide from it any longer.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Megumi, it's been like a year now. I'm sure it's been rebuilt and people already moved in
<Xanatos> * Drasek peers inside after her, not actually walking inside. "Come'on tiny, why the frown? It's a wonderful....wintery day."
<Seraphna> "My Dad's journal... he... he never cared about me... I was an annoyance... a failure to him..."
<Megumi> You might be right... But it would feel more appropriate. Something traditional like she liked.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Yeah? Your folks were scientists right, the ones before papa Cran came along?
<Megumi> Something familiar to return to, right?
* Seraphna nods.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> That's nice and all, but if it's taken, you can't move in.
<Seraphna> "They made the Dragoon Betas..."
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Well everyone know that scientists only care about one thing. Their work.
* Seraphna slumps back on her bed and covers her face with her hands.
<Megumi> I can always try.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> True
<Seraphna> "I care about more then that..."
<Megumi> You are alone now, right? If I did would you..?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Huh? Me? I---Heh heh.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> No offense, but you're not a true scientist. I'm talking, lab coat, classes. The works. Also, you gotta be ugly, that's usually one of the requirements. Since you're so ugly, you spend time tinkering with science things instead of going out and having sex like normal people.
<Xanatos> NRP: glasses*
* Megumi falls quiet, peering at the floor.
* Seraphna smiles weakly, "Thanks... I think..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> As nice as that would be, when Erevis did come back, I don't want to be in the way. If you get my drift.
* Seraphna sighs hard and sits up, looking at a wall. "I didn't want to believe it... but this confirms they didn't really... care..."
<Xanatos> <Drasek> If I was betting man, Cran was probably more of a parent than those two ever were. So I wouldn't be getting all snotty over those gits.
* Seraphna laughs that broken little laugh. "Irony..."
<Seraphna> "The man I defied was the real father... I think I'm gonna..."
* Seraphna stands up, and walks towards the bathroom.
<Megumi> I do not think you would... be in the way. We had guests before.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I don't want to be a third wheel, Meg.
* Megumi shifts on her feet. 1"There were many rooms."
<Xanatos> * Drasek crosses his arms, leaning against the doorframe. "Yeah when you feel like being normal, you should have a few beers. It'll make this all seem trivial."
<Megumi> Even Mister Winters and Aya stayed with us...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Megumi....6* She sighs. "I'd feel strange being in that situation, honestly."
<Megumi> ... ...Alright.
* Seraphna goes into the bathroom, and after a few very unpleasent moments comes out again, walking dazedly back into her room.
<Seraphna> "Drinking sounds good about now..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I mean, I guess I could live with you until she came back.
<Megumi> You need not force yourself. I can manage.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I like the idea, don't get me wrong. I just don't like the third wheel idea.
* Seraphna sits down with little spirit left. "That vision wasn't a lie..."
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Vision? You're seeing visions?
<Seraphna> "When we were going to face Legion... he assaulted some of us with visions... mine was my parents hating me, wishing I wasn't around and dead..."
<Seraphna> "My Dad... he wrote me out, disowned me."
<Megumi> I would appreciate all you can tolerate, Zephyr. I did not intend to impose on your own fancy, however.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Megumi. I love your company. And being roommates would be awesome.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> There isn't any proof that what you read is real anyway. Not to give you false hope, i'm sure your father was a downright ponce, but you're not a little squab anymore, things like that shouldn't even matter now.
<Seraphna> "Sent me to live with some relatives and pushed me aside because I wasn't as smart as him... god knows Mom probably went along with it, they were living together without me..."
<Megumi> I am reading into words too much right now, am I not?
* Seraphna looks up at him. "Drasek, I'm missing 14 years of my life. I have no clue what happened to me really, I..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm just saying. You and me as roommates is good. You, me, and Erevis in one house? Not so good, I think.
<Xanatos> * Drasek groans. "Look at yourself. Does that honestly matter? Really matter?"
<Megumi> Understandable.
<Seraphna> "A little..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So...6* She sounds like she's plopping on the bed. "If you want to do this, I can move in until you get her back."
<Xanatos> <Drasek> It shouldn't. Take it from an old geezer. Your past doesn't make you who you are. It's all the little scenes and plots of the present that make you who you are. Nothing they did will change you, not one way or the other. Maybe now you can even forgive Winters for taking them out.
<Seraphna> "He... built some Beta to be like me... replaced me. I---"
* Seraphna looks up at Drasek.
<Seraphna> "Even if they hated me... what would it make me to be the same back towards them?"
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Human, luv. It would make you human.
<Megumi> I would like that... but as you said, what I wish may not be obtainable.
* Seraphna looks down, sighing hard again. "I guess..."

* Chad`Winters stand in the kitchen, cleaning the countertop.
<DeathStar> 6* There's a knock on the door.

<DeathStar> 6* Aya turns the page.
* Chad`Winters opens the door a smidge..
<DeathStar> 6* The door slams open and a horrendously doll like Angela stares at him with the body of a Beta, it's head tilting as it looks at Chad. "Project Weapon: Id located. Primary objective: Kill Id before it destroys creators." 6* It grabs Chad suddenly with steel like vices for a grip
* Chad`Winters hurks as he grabs frantically onto the Beta's arm. 1"Aya...Run."
<DeathStar> 6* Angeta throws Chad out the window with incredible force. Aya sits up, her eyes widening in horror and fear. "Dad!"
<DeathStar> 6* It moves and leaps out after Chad, landing on him as he falls, sending him into the ground with harder impact.

* Chad`Winters hangs there limply, his eyes closed.
<DeathStar> 6* Angeta aims at Chad's stomach, and fires a beam blast
* Chad`Winters body reacts and curls as the shot slams into him, the pain snapping him back into conciousness. He screams out in pain.
<DeathStar> 6* The blast burns into him, burning away into flesh, then ribs, then organs

* Seraphna goes along with little protest, still wallowing in self pity.
<Xanatos> * Drasek sits there at a table with his drink, he eyes Angela quietly.
* Seraphna downs her second drink, looking at the table.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> God this is pathetic.
* Seraphna looks up at him. "Mmm..."
<Seraphna> "Me or the whole thing?"
* Seraphna downs another.
<Xanatos> <Drasek> I never had real parents, do you see me rolling around in my own self-induced shit pile?
<Seraphna> Do Progenitors have parents...?
<Xanatos> <Drasek> Beats me i'm just an average human. *he says without so much as a change in expression, probably meaning he isn't going to talk about it*
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Angeta grabs Chad's right pinky finger, breaking it with a doll like expression
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-

<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers at Megumi
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Now what?
<Megumi> Son of a bitch.
* Megumi crosses her arms and twitches, then uncrosses them and begins up the path to the door.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sighs and follows after her.
* Megumi knocks at the new door, grumbling.
<DeathStar> 6* The door opens an woman in her late fourties opens. "Yes?"
* Megumi peers up at her, studying her. 1"Hello. Are you one of the residents here now?"
<DeathStar> <Lady> Yes.

<Xanatos> <Drasek> Yeah? Then I must be looking like a grade-a stud, right?
<Seraphna> "You always did..." *giggles*
<DeathStar> 6* Screams can be heard outside.
<Xanatos> * Drasek pauses and arches a brow. "Now that sounds promising." He hops up and walks over to glance outside.
* Seraphna blinks and looks up blearily. "Party?"
* Seraphna stumbles after him.
<DeathStar> 6* Angeta swings a lamp post at a bloody Chad
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Angeta hits Chad with a lamp post
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* Drasek can see Chad flying toward the window.
<Seraphna> "Was't goin on?"
<Xanatos> * Drasek groans. "OH bloody hell."
<DeathStar> 6* Angeta fires a beam blast after the flying Chad.
* Seraphna blinks and looks, "Is Chad flyin?"
* Xanatos is now known as Drasek
* Chad`Winters jerks his hands up to cover his face as the blast hits, sending him flying through the window now and into the bar.
<DeathStar> 6* The blast eats away more flesh
* Drasek lets out a low whistle, having just barely stepped out of the way.
<DeathStar> 6* People scatter, screaming for their lives.
<Drasek> That looks downright nasty, mate.
<DeathStar> 6* Angeta approaches the bar.
* Seraphna holds onto Drasek a bit for support. "Bar fight?"
* Chad`Winters slams through several tables and rolls to a stop, leaving trails off blood.
<Drasek> Yeah, follow those people. *He motions to the ones running away, then moves over to kneel down beside Chad, you know, make sure he is dead.*
<Seraphna> "Follow em where?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Unluckily for Drasek, Chad isn't dead.
* Seraphna starts stumblin towards them.
<DeathStar> 6* Angeta enters the bar, passing Angela. It peers at her
* Seraphna blinks and stares a moment, narrowing her eyes. "Me?"
<Drasek> * Drasek stands up and then lets out a whistle. "Lookie here, luv. You're a robot."
<DeathStar> <Angeta> Subject is Angela Bennet. Subject is unimportant.
<DeathStar> 6* It turns back to Chad.
<Seraphna> "That's gettin cliche... HEY!"
<Drasek> * Drasek sighs and steps in between the robot and Chad. "Come now, can't we all just get along?"
<DeathStar> 6* Angeta stares.
<Drasek> That a no?
<DeathStar> <Angeta> Subject is comprised of massive amounts of energy.
* Chad`Winters takes several labored breathes as he moves his hands along his body, his fingers pressing into spots.
<DeathStar> <Angeta> Warning: Use extreme caution.
* Drasek pauses and pats himself. "Well I did drink a few more than usual."
<DeathStar> <Angeta> Conclusion: Will use deadly force.
<DeathStar> 6* Angeta reaches into her stomach compartment and pulls out a device that blinks, dropping it onto the ground
<Seraphna> "Fuck...."
<Drasek> How the hell does that solve anything!? *he groans* Get out of here Angie! *He shifts to pick up Chad, moving towards the back*
* Seraphna starts running.
* Chad`Winters opens his eyes an then winces as he's picked up
<DeathStar> 6* As they reach the back, the bar explodes, sending debris and other things into them.
* Seraphna falls to the ground outside the bar, shaking her head, sobering up.
* Drasek grunts, flying forward, twisting enough to land first, groaning after he slides a bit.
<Seraphna> "Bitch replaces me then blows up the bar I'm drinkin in..."
* Chad`Winters howls painfully as he lands on Drasek
<Drasek> Oh stop whining, I just lost a good social establishment because of you. *he shifts Chad off of him and stands up, dusting himself off*
<DeathStar> 6* Female voice. "Well, brother, you sure know how to have fun."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks through the smoke with a few awesome TAW4 people.
* Chad`Winters takes labored breathes as he looks at Cheryl.
<Seraphna> * Wolf sports her favorite assault rifle once more. "So what are we shooting at again?"
<Megumi> <Chii> The fuck happened..?" 6Coughs.
<Drasek> 6* Marcus rubs the side of his nose. "An explosion happened, doofus."
<Megumi> <Chii> Why did the bar explode, Marcus?
* Drasek lets out a whistle. "It's the kukoo and her hens."
<DeathStar> 6* Angeta leaps out of the smoke, throwing an energy field around the TAW4 team
* Chad`Winters goes to say something, then starts coughing, spitting up blood.
* Seraphna sits up on her rear around the front, watching the fire.
<Drasek> <Marcus> Evil government conspiracy, duh.
<DeathStar> <Angeta> Statement: Threats neutralized.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sneers, eyeing the fiekld.
<Megumi> <Chii> The hell? Hey, fuck you.

<DeathStar> <Lady> For the last time, I am not selling
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr balances a ball on her nose.
<Megumi> ...It is important to me. I must reacquire this residency.
<DeathStar> <Lady> I am not selling. 6* She shuts the door.
<Megumi> 6Megumi shifts her foot in the doorway, wincing and grinding her teeth as its struck. 1"I have a larger home I can offer in exchange, as well as what you may ask..."
<DeathStar> 6* The Lady stares. "If you do not please, I will call the police. I am not interested."
<Megumi> Please... Consider it at the very least...
<DeathStar> *er, leave
* Megumi hangs her head slightly.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr takes the ball in hand, putting her other one on Megumi. "Megumi..."
<Megumi> The first time for everything was here...
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr leads the dejected girl away. "I know."
* Megumi huddles outside the gate, hugging her knees. She actually forms tears. 1"Mean old lady..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sits beside Megumi. "I'm sure you'll find another nice place."
<Megumi> Another place does not matter...
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sighs.
<Megumi> Beloved will be beloved. She would make do anywhere if need be, but the idea behind it is completely lost.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hugs her knees. "I see."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I guess if you're giving up, we can't be roommates, huh?
<Megumi> 6Megumi brushes her knees off and stands. 1"...Where would you like to live?"
<DeathStar> 6* Shrugging, Zephyr stands herself. "I dunno."
<Megumi> Think about it, then. ...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I don't have preferences, really. Anywhere is fine with me.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Heck, I live in a one bedroom apartment, after all.
<Megumi> I see.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr walks along, her hands behind her head.
<Megumi> You would not mind if we moved out of the city? You would not want to be closer to the Winters'?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh, I guess I would want to live in the city.
<Megumi> Closer to Miss Cheryl? Closer to the mall?" 6She eyes Zephyr as she tags along a bit behind.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Cheryl's independent. Mall's not an issue.

<DeathStar> 6* Angeta's attack is knocked off base.
<Drasek> <Marcus> You know, it's sad that we left Myria behind. She has a gadget for everything.
* Chad`Winters stumbles as he stands up, his eyes focused on Angeta
<DeathStar> 6* Angeta flips herself with the spite, landing gracefully.
<DeathStar> <Angeta> Target Id must be destroyed.
<DeathStar> <Angeta> Protect Bennets primary objective.
* Drasek looks around for something heavy to lift up. "Id? Who the bloody hell is that? This is Chad."
* Seraphna walks around back and taps on her bracers. "The Bennets are dead."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl keeps smashing away, howling in rage.
* Chad`Winters takes several quick breathes and pushes off the ground, moving towards Angeta, despite his bodies condition
<DeathStar> 6* Angeta fires another beam attack at Chad. "Illogical."
<Seraphna> "I'm the only one left."
* Chad`Winters shifts to the side.
<DeathStar> <Angeta> Impossible.
<Seraphna> "Very possible, Id already succeeded in his mission."
<Drasek> * Drasek coughs and lifts up a chunk of board. "Tiny is right, shiny."
<DeathStar> 6* Angeta pauses, tilting her head. "Does not compute."
* Chad`Winters pants, as he stands up again.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl uses her whip to smash away, coiled away her fist.
<Seraphna> "Too bad, it's reality. The Bennets have been terminated."
<Megumi> <Chii> Heheh so it works." 6She begins rapidly forming seals, attacking the robotic Angela. 1"Suiton, Raiton, rengeki da!" 6Forming a stream of water across the street and then trying to shock Bennet-MOS.
<Drasek> * Marcus scratches his nose.
<Seraphna> "Primary objective failed! Shut down!"
<DeathStar> <Angeta> ... If primary objective is failed, what is primary fuc--- 6* She's zapped.
<DeathStar> 6* Angeta twitches, her eyes going red.
<Drasek> Apparently it's get the shit shocked out of you. Good work, shiny.
<Seraphna> "Shut down, or protect the last Bennet."
<Seraphna> "Only logical options."
<DeathStar> 6* Angeta doesn't talk anymore. Apparantly the attack had an effective
<DeathStar> 6* Angeta rushes forward at Angela, forming an energy blade. She cuts at her throat.
<DeathStar> <Angeta> Destroy all Bennets.
* Seraphna gasps and ducks, rolling away.
<Seraphna> "Fuck goddamnit no!"
<Megumi> <Chii> Wow. That worked out better than I thought.
<Drasek> * Drasek sighs. "Yes let's make the crazy robot go crazier." He wipes at his head. "Good thing i'm not a bennet."
<DeathStar> 6* Angeta dashes forward, grabbing Angela by the throat, rushing away with her
* Seraphna screams, choking.
<Drasek> <Marcus> Uh Chii, that was bad. You suck at your job.
<Megumi> <Chii> We're on duty!?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl suddenly goes insane when Angela is grabbed, pounding away.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl busts through, her aura glowing darkly
<Drasek> * Marcus gesutres at Cheryl. "Bad."
<DeathStar> 6* Angeta presses Angela against the wall as she rushes, letting her scrape.
<Megumi> <Chii> Son of a. Raiton, raiton, raiton!" 6She keeps trying to re-shock the renegade robo.
<DeathStar> 6* It's out of range now
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rushes after the robot.
<Seraphna> "Your primary objective is to protect!!! PROTECT!!!"
<Drasek> * Marcus eyes her. "Shocking the robot would just shock Angela you twit."
<DeathStar> 6* Angeta gathers energy into her hand, pouring it into Angela.
<Megumi> <Chii> S-So!? maybe it'd re-hardwire it, too
<Drasek> * Drasek breaks into a run after Cheryl. Since living along with megumi would suck.

<Drasek> <Marcus> And kill Angela in the process. I can see you went to school. *he says with a shake of his head, running after Cheryl&
<DeathStar> 6* Angeta leaps up onto the roof.
<DeathStar> 6* They indeed can, through Cheryl's hole.
<DeathStar> 6* With Angela.
<Megumi> 6Chii moves through. 1"Uh, right. You get ground level, I'll go for the rooftops."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns into a Gear.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl fires into the building Angeta is on, knocking it out
<Seraphna> "Your systems are damaged! You are malfunctioning!"
<Drasek> * Marcus shakes his head and shifts into a wolf, leaping up from fire escape to fire escape to reach the rooftops.
<DeathStar> 6* Angeta's eyes flare as the building crumbles. Her and Angela fall into the debris, but she loses Angela.
<Megumi> 6Chii rolls her eyes, following the same route as Marcus.
<Drasek> * Drasek attempts to require one Angela in the process.
* Seraphna tumbles and groans, twitching in pain.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl aims at the debris.
<DeathStar> <Caduceus> Some weapon you are, Winters.
<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus applies nanites.
* Chad`Winters 's right hand moves along his body, two fingers pressing into several points on his body, his face tensing up painfully.
<DeathStar> 6* Angeta busts out of the building. She teeters. "Protect...Bennets..."
* Seraphna looks up at Drasek, choking a bit, neck burned.
<DeathStar> 6* Angeta stumbles along the debris
<Seraphna> "Y-Yes... bloody hell, PROTECT."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl fires at Angeta
<Drasek> * Drasek hefts her up. "Shh. Don't goad the robot."
* Seraphna coughs, her voice raspy and weak.
<Chad`Winters> I was caught off guard and haven't had any time to recover till now.
<DeathStar> 6* Angeta is struck again, her eyes turning red.
<Megumi> 6Chii peers down from a scaffold. 1"Think the robot's toast before this' over."
<DeathStar> 6* Angeta turns into a Gear, then rams into Cheryl's ear.
<DeathStar> 6* The two go flying into another building, smashing through it.
<Drasek> * Marcus slides to a stop. "Huh, I can't fight a gear." He says after shifting back into a human.
* Drasek works to get Angela back to the doctor he saw working on Chad.

<DeathStar> 6* Caduceus grunts, looking over at the fight
<DeathStar> 6* Angeta the Gear flies out, victorious. It aims at Drasek and Angela, firing a beam attack at them. Drasek could save himself and run

<Drasek> * Drasek looks up. "Son of a whore." He throws Angela to safety.
<DeathStar> 6* Drasek is blasted by the beam, vanishing
* Seraphna lands near Cad, groaning in pain again.
<Drasek> * Marcus peers down. "Did that dude just die?"
<Megumi> 6Chii grunts. 1"Damn it." 6She forms seals and holds up a hand, focusing a bit more spiritual energy into her strike. 1"Raiton!"
<DeathStar> 6* Angeta the Gear prepares another attack.

<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl raises foot and smashes it into the ground
* Seraphna rushes over towards Angeta now. "Stand down..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl crushes her foot down, then lifts it. The broken Beta lays there, sparking
<Drasek> * Marcus lands on the ground. "I think it's dead, Angela."
* Chad`Winters reaches upto his left should and grabs it tightly. He grimaces and yanks it forward, causing it to pop back into place. His eyes going wide as he slumps forward.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns back into normal mode, kneeling there.
* Seraphna stares a little, shaking a bit as she goes to her knees.

<DeathStar> Location: Tokyo Baer
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sits at a table with Dawn, enjoying a beer. He's brought Dawn along for some reason
<Megumi> 6Dawn sips a capuccino, seeming to be stricken with a migraine or something.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You okay there, champ?
<Megumi> 6Dawn peers at him, then sighs.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'll take that as a no
<Megumi> 6Dawn reaches and sets his own datapad up, typing out. [Still don't really know much that you didn't guess to begin with. Not sure what they were performing the experiments with or... Well, my sister seems to be alive. But I don't know where Fiore is."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Plus you're probably one of the 95% who went insane.
<Megumi> [Gee thanks.]
<DeathStar> <Darien> It's just a fact, based on what you saw. Obviously you got better.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm curious if you got any psionic talents.
<Megumi> 6Dawn nods slightly, perhaps in agreement.
<Megumi> [What I saw... I have to deal with the fact I may have killed people I knew. As for psionics, not that I know of. A good aim wasn't psionic last I checked... Fiore apparently was one of the potential recepients.]
<Megumi> [Anything's possible, I guess.]
<DeathStar> <Darien> You should try to train it
<DeathStar> 6* A person sits down at the table. A red head, who's hair is growing longer every day. It's currently in a ponytail, and she's wearing a a pilot's jump suit. Katrina McCormick.
<Megumi> [...Train something I don't have? Or at least... train something I've never done? How do I do that? I have a headache as is.] 6He downs the cup.
<Megumi> 6He snorts, dropping the cup onto the table.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina looks at the two, then smiles. "Wow, you two are together?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien gives an easy-going smile. "Thanks for coming."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You paid enough
<Megumi> 6Dawn peers between the two, raising an eyebrow.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm curious. Were you born an empath, Katrina?
<Megumi> 6Dawn jerks slightly, withdrawing from the table somewhat.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina blinks, her face shifting to puzzlement. "Um. I think I was always receptive to other people's emotions, yes. I got better when I was older, though."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods once, glancing at Dawn. Katrina looks at him as well
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You okay, Dawn?
<Megumi> 6Dawn types and then shifts the pad around, sliding it to Katrina. [Where. Were you born?]
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Um, Mega City.
<Megumi> [You're certain? Did you ever live anywhere else?]
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina thinks. "Well. No. My parents did travel during the summers with me and John, though."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at Dawn. "This happen during the summer?"

<DeathStar> Location: Megumi's Pad
* Drasek lays on the couch, burnt up and probably in pain, or does he even feel pain?
* Seraphna slumps down on her bed, shivering in pain still, she gently put a hand to her head and stares as her hair leaps a bit to her hand.
<Seraphna> "...Great."
* Seraphna gets up and walks out to the main room to check on Drasek.
* Seraphna sits beside him on the edge of the couch and looks him over, "Are you okay? Hurt...?"
* Drasek groans, probably making more of a big deal out of this than he should.
<Seraphna> "You want treatment?"
* Drasek arches a brow, instantly intrigued. "What kind of treatment?"
<Seraphna> "I was thinking first aid, but did you have something else in mind?" *she says playfully*
<Drasek> * Drasek hmmms. "Yeah, maybe."
* Seraphna giggles and puts her hand on the table, blinking as she hears the faint snap of static. "Buh... I gotta get that looked at."
<Drasek> Yeah...don't touch me, then. *he sits up, sighing* I don't see how you all do it. I think every one of you lot are just mad.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr moves in with Megumi. "Alright, now that we found a place, what are you doing with this one?"
* Seraphna looks up at Zeph and Meg.
* Drasek pauses and looks up. "New place!?"
<Seraphna> "...Place?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr jerks, eyeing the two.
<Megumi> Um... I had not thought that far.
<Seraphna> "Hi."
* Megumi rubs her head sheepishly.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at Megumi, then the two, then Meg, leaning in. "You can't afford both places."
<Drasek> What's wrong with this place? *He stands up, still looking like he's been beat up pretty bad*
<Seraphna> "We were fighting a rogue Beta that was fixated on killing Chad and me, house shopping as fun?"
* Megumi gulps, then nods. 1"You are right.."
* Megumi stares at Angela blankly. 1"What?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You told us that days ago
<Megumi> Zephyr it was... very personal for her, do not poke too much...
<Seraphna> "Sorry, I dunno why I'm so... overcharged right now."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr rolls her eyes.
* Drasek makes a crazy motion with his hand, then nods towards Angela.
* Seraphna pokes Drasek and shocks him with static.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Ungh. Chad bemoaned yesterday about his pains, and now I have to hear the old lady's repeat stories.
* Megumi holds up a hand. 1"Enough..."
<Seraphna> "I am so not old."
* Drasek winces and narrows his eyes. Then looks to the two. "Bloody hell, I just get used to this place and now you're moving me again?"
<Megumi> Mister Drasek, Miss Angela. I will be leaving this residence.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glances at the two for their reactions
<Seraphna> "You two movin in together?"
<Drasek> Fine...where we going?
<Megumi> ...Yes..
* Megumi stares at Drasek blankly now, shifting to peer at Zephyr weakly.
<Seraphna> "He's got a good question..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It's just us.
<Drasek> You're throwing me out on the streets!? I'll starve!
<Seraphna> "I... think I could support the house..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You don't need food.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> And you can live with Angela there.
* Drasek slumps. "...but then you won't come and visit me."
* Megumi looks to Angela quickly. 1"If ...If you could then I would turn over the ownership."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm sure you'll bother us.
<Seraphna> "If it'll help you out..." *she sounds kinda down now*
<Megumi> Although I do not feel comfortable here, it would seem more appropriate for someone we know to carry on its stead.
<Drasek> You're damn right i'll-Wait. I bother you, do I?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> In a good way.
<Drasek> Right. Then you can count on me. *he nods*
<Seraphna> "Some good memories here."
<Megumi> Memories...
* Megumi peers downward and winces, but not about this place. She sighs.
* Seraphna looks at Drasek. "And I won't mind you staying here... I don't like living alone."
<Drasek> I once flew through that hole right th-*he points towards the kitchen, which has surely been repaired* Huh. I thought there was a hole there.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr puts her arm around Megumi
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Great. Now we're totally roommies. We can stay up all night and sit around naked and do each other's hair
* Seraphna giggles.
* Megumi jerks. 1"..h-Huh!"
* Drasek slowly turns to look at Zephyr, his eyes going down.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What?
<Drasek> I'll be sure to be over often, then.
<Megumi> Ehh!
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It'll give me something to aim at with my Dragoon Buster
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> 6* And if you fucking leave that computer, you die
<DeathStar> 6* Darien peers at Dawn.
<Megumi> 6Dawn brings up the other datapad, musing over it for a moment. He tries to recall the dates of the projects to see if that would agree.
<DeathStar> 6* It would seem it would fit.
<Megumi> 6He nods slowly to Darien, shrugging.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks at Katrina. "Katrina. What would you say to a little hypnosis?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina blinks
<Megumi> 6Dawn raises an eyebrow to Darien. Hypnosis?
<DeathStar> <Darien> If she can't remember on her own, maybe we can dig into her memories.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Dig into my memories...?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks at Dawn. "She's our big lead." 6* He then looks at Katrina. "And I paid well."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina blinks again and looks at Dawn.
<Megumi> 6He considers then shakes his head, typing. 1[Ever been to Roma?]
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't think so.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien holds up his hand to get a check
<Megumi> 6Dawn looks to Darien nodding.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, I want to know the truth, so I'm doing the hypnosis. You're not afraid, are you, Kat?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Well, no...
<Megumi> 6He types. 1[Had you... ever seen me before? Before... that time?]
<DeathStar> <Katrina> No. Pretty sure I haven't.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods. He pays for the drinks and stands. Katrina does as well.
<Megumi> 6Dawn frowns, still nothing on Fiore. He rises.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien and Katrina move for the outside.
<Megumi> 6Dawn grabs his cup and moves to follow.
<DeathStar> 6* As the three exit, they never notice at a table...Xanatos Durran, having his own drink
<Drasek> <Xanatos> Huh. Now that was interesting. *he pays for his drink and stands*

<DeathStar> Location: HQ
<DeathStar> 6* Ah, another day at HQville
<Kit> 6Chii steps out of her room, stretching. She's in casual clothes still, and peers around the hallway. It's been a day, strange. She was expecting something out of that wolfgirl or Paladin by now.
<DeathStar> 6* Scott pops up, holding flowers. "Hi."
<Kit> 6Chii jerks back. 1"Sh-shit! How do you keep doing that!?"
<DeathStar> 6* Scott shrugs, holding out the flowers. "For you."
<Kit> 6Chii peers at the flowers. Twitching.
<DeathStar> 6* Scott gives her a smile.
<Kit> 6Chii leans down, as if to smell them, then chomps the head off one.
<DeathStar> 6* Scott stares. "I didn't know you ate you flowers."
<Kit> 6Chii chews slowly, quivering. 1"Nerver thried."
<DeathStar> <Scott> O-Oh. Are they good?
<Kit> 6Chii spits out petals. 1"...N-Not really. Hrmph.."
<DeathStar> <Scott> They're to look at and smell.
<Kit> <Chii> Freyja likes flowers." 6As if that explains, she ventures off down the hall.
<DeathStar> 6* Scott follows. "You want to do anything today?"
<Kit> <Chii> Yeah.
<DeathStar> <Scott> Really? 6* He perks up
<Kit> <Chii> I want to rile Cheryl up...
<DeathStar> <Scott> W-Why?
<Kit> <Chii> It's fun.
<DeathStar> 6* Scott stares, stopping. "It is?"
<Kit> <Chii> Duuuuh...!" 6She gestures like it was obvious, pausing to look at him. 1"What?"
<DeathStar> <Scott> But when you rile her up, doesn't she talk to you less?
<Kit> <Chii> Depends on how, but lately, yeah. Pretty much. She hasn't spoken to me at all anyway.
<DeathStar> <Scott> Oh.
-> [DeathStar] PING
<Kit> 6Chii stares at him, then continues on, stopping at Cheryl's room.
<Kit> 6She pauses, then kicks it with the side of her foot.
<DeathStar> 6* A long pause, then the door opens. Cheryl stands there in her tank top and underwear sleeping combination, her knuckles wrapped up. She glances at Chii. "Yeah?"
<Kit> <Chii> Let's go out.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her. "And do what?"
<Kit> <Chii> Does it matter?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah.
<Kit> <Chii> I'll kidnap you again, I swear.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sneers.
<Kit> <Chii> I don't give a damn. We haven't been to that club you took me to in a while, if you're feeling moody.
<Kit> 6Chii jerks a thumb back down the hallway. 1"Scrawny probably wants to see a movie or eat. He likes doing those."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Right. Take you to a flight club. So you can kick people's asses who hurt me? 6* She snorts in disdain
<Kit> <Chii> You got hurt there?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm referring to Wolf. You plan to hit everyone who hits me?
<Kit> 6Chii shrugs.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sneers. "I'm not your dainty girlfriend who needs you protecting her."
<Kit> <Chii> Well. Duh.
<Kit> <Chii> Frankly self-destructing is more of an issue with you than protecting.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her. "I hope you do something stupid like that again. Then you'll get thrown out of here."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns to go back into her room
<Kit> <Chii> Eh? You want me gone now?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns to eye her. "Yeah."
<Kit> <Chii> Oh. Really?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl crosses her arms. "Really."
<Kit> <Chii> No regrets?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> None.
<Kit> 6Chii shrugs. 1"Huh. You win, I guess."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl arches her brow.
<Kit> 6Chii smiles, gives her a wave and turns to leave.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses, then turns her back to Chii to go into her room
<Kit> <Chii> G'bye, Cherry. Was fun.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tch.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl says nothing, though Chii, the emotion eater, can tell she's sad right now.
<Kit> 6Chii puts her hands in her pockets and heads for Paladn's office.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl closes the door behind her and moves to flop onto the bed, laying there with her face in the pillow
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin adjusts some pictures on the wall of his office.
<Kit> <Chii> Yo.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin glances at Chii. "Good morning, Chii."
<Kit> <Chii> Ohayou. I'd like to resign. You know, if I'm listed anyway.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin blinks in surprise. "What? Why?"
<Kit> <Chii> Mh, only have two reasons to be here, and one of them just expired. The other I can do on my own, albeit, less effectively.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> You mind explaining?
<Kit> <Chii> I don't really think it's any of your business, but if you mean to say it's another bloody procedure you're retentive about, I guess.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin sighs. "I'd like to know why, to see if maybe this can be worked out, Chii."
<Kit> <Chii> Doubt it. Cheryl's not real reasonable to begin with.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> So you're quitting because of Cheryl?
<Kit> <Chii> Not really. I stuck around because of Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Why?
<Kit> 6Chii crosses her arms. 1"Why what?"
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Why have you been sticking around because of Cheryl?
<Kit> <Chii> That's what I think's personal. Why do you care? It has nothing to do with your unit.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin sighs. "Chii, you're part of my unit. So I care."
<Kit> 6Chii stares at him skeptically. Then holds up one hand, leaving the other holding her arm. 1"I grew up with Cheryl."
<DeathStar> <Paladin> I see. 6* He seems to chew that over, clearly not having that in his file. "I always thought you grew up with Katrina McCormick. Hence your divided loyalities."
<Kit> <Chii> It's a matter of perspective.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> And what has changed with Cheryl?
<Kit> <Chii> She doesn't want me anymore.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin moves to sit down, motioning Chii to sit as well. "Did you ask why?"
<Kit> <Chii> I already know why.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Then why does she want you anymore?
<Kit> 6Chii peers at the chair, and remains where she is. 1"She doesn't believe she's anything like what I want her to become. She thinks I'm chasing a shadow and always will be. That I'll end up doing everything in vain, probably hurt myself. She probably doesn't think there's anything in her that's worth being pursued."
<DeathStar> <Paladin> And since you're going, you agree?
<Kit> <Chii> Beyond that, I'm a hindrance to anything and everything she knows. I don't approve of her mindlessness. I constantly contradict thoughts of consistency by opposing everything that keeps her from being dangerous to the extent that I wouldn't hesitate to kill you or Alexander if she hadn't already basically asked me not to.
<Kit> 6Chii shrugs at Paladin. 1"It doesn't matter. She doesn't want me, and I said I'd listen to her. I can't back down from my own words. I have to heed my promises."
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin takes it all with a straight face.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> And what if you simply stop doing all the things that bother her?
<Kit> <Chii> Why would I do that?
<DeathStar> <Paladin> I thought you wanted to be close.
<Kit> <Chii> She doesn't want to be close.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin nods. "Are you sure you don't want to talk this out with her one more time? Get to the bottom of it?"
<Kit> <Chii> Are you suggesting I do that, for some reason?
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Well, it seems the alternative is you quitting. I'm just seeing if you really want to rush headlong into something so permenant without seeing if there's other options.
<Kit> <Chii> Other opinions?
<Kit> <Chii> I love Cheryl. Cheryl can't take that. She's jaded, somehow. In such a way that she doesn't want me to be there for her. Knowing that now, she can't stand me. She told me herself she didn't want me here anymore. With no regrets.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> But are you positive that it's because you ... love her? 6* He pauses only briefly before the word love.
<Kit> <Chii> Not really, but it's what she's told me.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> So she said, "Because you love me, I want you to leave?"
<Kit> 6Chii peers at him. 1"No, she said she wanted me to wupp on Wolf again or something dumb so I'd get kicked off. When I asked her if she wanted me gone, she said yes. Since she's been weird to me since she realized I love her, I assume, yeah, that probably has something to do with it."
<Kit> <Chii> But hey, if it makes Cheryl and your lives easier, I can shoot you in the other shoulder.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin presses his hands together.
<Kit> <Chii> Then again, it would be more fulfilling to toss Wolf out a window or something. Cheeky punk.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Chii. The reason I'm asking you these questions is to see if this is really how you want this to end. If you don't want to talk to her again, and see if maybe there's some other reasons for her actions. But if you're sure of things, and you want to quit, you can go. It's not like you're forced to stay on. You've never seemed to like the unit anyway.
<Kit> <Chii> Well, you know how people love their jobs and all. Especially the ones where they're diced up constantly and told how much they fuck things up all the time-- How inadequate they are.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin nods. "Alright. Though I've only worked with you a short time, it has been interesting. I hope you do well for yourself, Chii."
* Jackieness has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
<Kit> 6Chii smiles. 1"If Cheryl can't stand me, then I'll just go away. It's not like I'll stop doing what I want. She just won't be around to tell me to stop. If she hates me for it, oh well. I'll still free her."
<Kit> <Chii> But to stick around and act pretty wouldn't make sense. Why should I change if she goes on and on about not being able?
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin glances at his desk. "Chii. You'll never free her." 6* He states simply, picking up his pen.
<Kit> 6Chii puts her hands to her hips. 1"Then I don't have any reason to stay, right? So why care?"
<Kit> <Chii> I've found time and time again since my 'awakening.' People can lie, buy my emotions never will. That's why I'll listen to them, and nothing else.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> I've already said goodbye, Chii. Or are you lingering for another reason? 6* He glances up. "The fact is you can go out there and kill everyone you think is treating Cheryl wrong, and at the end of the day, it won't matter."
<Kit> 6Chii tosses her hands up. 1"Who said anything about killing everyone?"
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin just nods and goes back to his work.
<Kit> <Chii> Cheryl doesn't have much time anyway, right?
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin looks up. "Why do you say that?"
<Kit> <Chii> She's said so herself. It should be obvious anyway. When those two retards should have died, they returned with that viral-like darkness. Cheryl's been eating it like candy, I can only imagine how much of her its eaten in return.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> I don't know. She hasn't said anything about it.
<Kit> <Chii> C'mon, chief. You may not taste the flavor of spirits, but you should see the physical signs pretty fucking clear. The stooges have a couple of scratches here and there. What's Cheryl look like lately? What's she hiding, huh?
<Kit> 6Chii gnashes her teeth slightly, pointing accusingly. 1"Rather than worry about a couple of humans or whatnot, don't you think I'd be worrying more about that!?"
<DeathStar> <Paladin> The darkness isn't killing her, Chii.
<Kit> <Chii> Really, now. So what is it doing?
<DeathStar> <Paladin> It's changing her. Into what, we don't know. But the collar will prohibit her from abusing her powers.
<Kit> <Chii> I don't give a shit if she abuses them!
<DeathStar> <Paladin> You don't care if she turns into a monster?
<Kit> <Chii> You just told me she wasn't dying. Why should I care if she's a monster? I'd still love her. If she were still Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> So you love the Cheryl who would tear the team apart without batting an eye?
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Or the one who talks with you and goes out with you for drinks?
<Kit> <Chii> That's not fair at all, you prick. They're one and the same.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> They're not.
<Kit> <Chii> Then going blank before she was infected is all just heresay, huh?
<DeathStar> <Paladin> *shakes his head* From what I understand, her true self is the weapon. The killer that kills it's enemies efficently and without thought. A pure force of nature. The other, the one that interacts, is just there to keep the weapon in check. If that makes sense. Someone that can hear the orders, do objectives, and then go away when the real self needs to slaughter
<Kit> <Chii> Then when she tells me with a straight face she enjoys it when she's lost-- Who's talking? The 'killer' you speak of wouldn't bother telling me that.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> I imagine that Cheryl does enjoy giving in to her true self. It's who she really is, after all.
<Kit> <Chii> You don't make any sense.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Maybe not. I'm not the expert in the Alphas. But what I do know is that there are many people who would like you out of Cheryl's life. And you're doing exactly what they want.
<Kit> <Chii> Tch. And why should I care? Most people I know want me gone regardless of my relation to Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin nods once. "Alright. I don't mind. Ordering a weapon will be easier than ordering someone conflicted with emotions anyway."
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin looks back down at his paperwork.
<Kit> <Chii> Again, you don't make any sense. What's your game, General?
<DeathStar> <Paladin> I don't have a game. The fact is I know you're Cheryl's friend, and that you have some emotional influence on her. With you gone, it's predicted she'll be a better weapon and fighter. And as a General, I'll take that.
<Kit> <Chii> You're all hardass about the word, yet you're making me of all people hesitate, who should be one of your biggest pains in the ass. You act like you care what happens to Cheryl, but you tell me I can't do anything about it and obviously don't mind if I'm gone or using her for a tool.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin sips his water.
<Kit> <Chii> You bring in some bitch like Wolf who'd have offed Cheryl, yet you haven't said anything at all to me about keeping that from happening or taking my anger out on her the other day. You won't let me return to you what I feel like I took because of Cheryl's state...
<Kit> <Chii> But then you wave me off like no consequence. Another piece of trash like everyone else. It pisses me off.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin looks at Chii. "You took your anger out on Wolf?"
<Kit> <Chii> You didn't know?" 6Raises an eyebrow.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> I see.
<Kit> <Chii> Miss Priss thinks I did it because she and Cheryl had a spar.
<Kit> 6Chii snerks.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin nods once, then sets down his datapad. "Well, Chii, I hope you do well out there." 6* He notes, his tone professional hard.
<Kit> <Chii> Oh, there's the unfeeling General I know.
<Kit> 6Chii reaches into the one satchel she's been carrying and tosses a flat container onto his desk.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> No, it's a General who's had enough of a person who takes their anger out on people of his team. People under his command. Who he oversees.
<Kit> <Chii> Uh-huh. You shouldn't have a problem handing that down your beloved ranks. The ones you relate and spend so much time with.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin shakes his head. "Chii, I did care about what happened, because you were part of my unit, but your disdain for others in your unit, and toward me, and the fact you would attack people in your unit, shows that you don't belong here. And that you never did."
<Kit> <Chii> Take it up with Katrina and Warren. They're the ones who saw something and didn't finish me off.
<Kit> <Chii> After all, 'we' tried to annihilate this unit as bait originally.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin shakes his head. He's clearly upset by something.
<Kit> 6Chii gestures with her hand toward the container. 1"The files, the reports. The claims don't always tell you everything about people."
<Kit> <Chii> That's for Cheryl, but feel free to have a look for yourself. I mean, keep it to yourself as well. Who knows what she'd do if you went and began gossiping about it or something. Haa.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin says nothing. He just looks at his desk, trying to stay calm.
<Kit> <Chii> I think I requested to be paid in ammunition or something originally from Warren. Whatever's happening with that for this last quarter, give it to that guard that's been following me around. He's weird.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> ...
<Kit> 6Chii places her hands behind her head, then turns to leave, wagging her tail a bit. 1"Was an interesting conversation."
<DeathStar> <Paladin> I find it all a useless waste of time. 6* He picks up his pen. "Cheryl will become more of a weapon, and probably die on a mission. And who knows what you will do out there."
<Kit> 6Chii wags her tail a bit. 1"I'll keep stalking her. Letting her live as long as she does."
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Yes. That's brilliant. 6* He doesn't bother pointing out all the missions Cheryl goes on Chii won't be able to follow.
<Kit> <Chii> Mh, never said it was smart. I'm only known for being dumb and impulsive. I'll probably become more like I used to.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin shakes his head.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> What a waste.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> I imagine even General Carmichael misjudges character.
<Kit> <Chii> Well, you'd know better than me, General. Since I'm not on duty, I'm going to get plastered. Ta~!
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin says nothing
<Kit> 6Chii heads back to her room.

<DeathStar> Location: Bar
<DeathStar> 6* The bar Chii picked. Yeah.
<Kit> 6Chii sits at a corner table, eyeing the counter across the way. She's considered a dozen times going over and asking to be let in the basement, but each time comes to the conclusion that it's better she doesn't and just orders another malt in sporadic urges to look like she has a purpose for being there.
<DeathStar> <Voice> Well, I thought I was picking up on your emotional scent.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina sunters around the table, wearing a pilot jump suit, her hair down past her shoulders. She moves and sits across from Chii, studying her.
<Kit> 6Chii continues staring toward the counter. 1"Hi Kat."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hello, Chii. What's wrong, honey?
<Kit> <Chii> Nothing's wrong. Why?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... Chii. 6* She notes, glancing at her a bit more sternly.
<Kit> 6Chii raises her chin off the table, grinning at Katrina. 1"I'm perfectly fine. What's that look for?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina crosses her hands together.
<Kit> <Chii> I'm single. What could possibly be wrong?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Single? 6* She studies her
<Kit> <Chii> Yeah, you know. Without anyone else.
* Xanatos has joined #erevis
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Xanatos
<DeathStar> <Katrina> And why are you single?
<Kit> <Chii> 'Cause I've left everything else.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... You did? Why?
<Kit> <Chii> Not wanted. Why else?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Who didn't want you?
<Kit> 6Chii quivers, then glances away. 1"Any of them. I'm a pain in the ass and things'll be easier with me gone."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Was it Cheryl who asked you to go? 6* She cups her hands under her chin
<Kit> <Chii> Eh, originally.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Mmmm. Did you consider she didn't mean it?
<Kit> <Chii> She didn't hesitate and she said she had no regrets.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> And did her aura back her words?
<Kit> 6Chii whirls her finger. 1"Not really."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> So, did you consider she didn't mean it?
<Kit> <Chii> Yeah, but it's what she wants.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> People rarely know what they want. And maybe she had some reason for saying it. Maybe she was in a bad mood that day, and she took it out on you. Maybe she was holding a grudge over something stupid.
<Kit> <Chii> That all sounds like Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Yet you quit.
<Kit> <Chii> Yeah.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods once.
<Kit> 6Chii fiddles with her empty glass, holding up her hand to summon another.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> So, what will you do now?
<Kit> <Chii> Get drunk.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I meant long-term, dear.
<Kit> 6Chii gestures questioningly. 1"What's long-term?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Your life over the next few months to a year.
<Kit> <Chii> Life is just a series of moments anyway! Haa haa.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Cheryl cares about you, you know. A lot.
<Kit> <Chii> I'm stupid. And I wanted to hurt her.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I don't believe that.
<Kit> <Chii> What else would you call pressing someone to the ends of their understanding, then giving them a push?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You care about her. She cares about you. There's just....a divide there.
<Kit> <Chii> I told the general what I thought of being in the unit anyway.
<Kit> 6Chii shrugs, accepting another drink and downing half of it, setting it down with a gasp. 1"You know how I am."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina takes one of her hands, touching Chii's free hand. "Sweetie. I think your life will be easier and stress-free not being in that group. You chase after the impossible. You set your sights on someone who might not ever return your feelings, and you're in a unit that has a group of people under tons of stress. And because I care about you, part of me is overjoyed you quit. But.."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> But is that what you want? Do you want to be away from her, and away from those missions? Because you won't be in a position to interfere, and they could die, or be hurt, and you won't be able to save them. You won't be able to change the outcome.
<Kit> 6Chii peers at Katrina, twitching. 1"Them?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Not all of them are bad, Chii. And you know it.
<Kit> <Chii> ...Hrmph.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina gives her a smile.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> So, is it what you want? Not to be part of that? To stand off to the side and know they could die, and that your powers might have prevented it?
<Kit> <Chii> Ugh, you too...
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm not trying to be mean, sweetie. I'm wanting you to be sure.
<Kit> 6Chii downs the rest of the new glass. 1"Man, no one makes sense when it comes to this stuff..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Okay, what part of what I am saying doesn't make sense to you?
<Kit> <Chii> ...You said you were happy I was leaving, but... You come up with reasons to stay. Like Paladin.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Alright, I'll address the first part first.
<Kit> 6Chii leans on the table, peering at Katrina miserably now.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'm happy you left, because my fear is Cheryl will hurt you emotionally with how she is. And because I care about you, I don't like to see you hurt. Also, I know the unit is on dangerous missions, and because the people are on edge, they can be hard on you, and again, I don't like to see you hurt.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> But I'm asking if you're sure, because I know what type of person you are, and I think part of you might not want to quit, and might want to be on that team still. And that part of you doesn't want to sit idlely by while others are hurt, knowing that you might be able to do something about it. So I'm asking, because I don't want you to be someone you're not.
<Kit> 6Chii twitches irritably. 1"Yeah, sounds like you."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina reaches up to rub Chii's cheek. "Sorry."
<Kit> <Chii> I can't go back anyway.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You never know until you ask.
<Kit> <Chii> That's the thing.
<Kit> 6Chii squints, pursing her lips. 1"I don't want to ask. Damn it."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> That's your weakness, Chii. Your flaw, that causes you to miss out on so much. To lose so much. And causes you unnecessary pain. Your stubbornness.
<Kit> <Chii> Aw, hell. I thought it was my being a free-loving hippy.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I think a free-loving hippy wouldn't have a problem with humility and asking to get back in.
<Kit> <Chii> Smartass.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles at her.
<Kit> 6Chii rolls her empty glass back and forth, glancing at the miniscule amount shifting back and forth. 1"Beh. Would have to look at that bastard, knowing he's smug in feeling he was right all along."
<Kit> <Chii> Cheryl'd probably sneer at me, too. 'Back so soon?'
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Ah, my Chii.
<Kit> <Chii> Twenty says one of the retards finds out and I have to listen to them go on about it. Or maybe Billy, haven't seen that mini-tramp in a while.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I guess if it's too difficult, I could tie you up, and make you my love slave. I think I have my whip in my luggage.
<Kit> 6Chii's hands hit the table. 1"Woah, hold up. That's an option?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> But because you were unable to stand up for yourself, I'd always be in charge. And I'd leave you alone, tied up, when I went off to do my jobs.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina brings her hands back under her chin, peering at Chii with a smile.
<Kit> <Chii> Low. I bet you lay down with Iceheart now anyway."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles softer now.
* Arralis` is now known as Ariel
<Kit> <Chii> You can have 'being in charge.' But keeping all the marks for yourself? Hrmph.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina peers at Chii. "So tell me. What do you plan to do. Seriously?"
<Kit> 6Chii rolls her eyes. 1"I have to go back for my blades and guns anyway."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina leans forward, kissing her on the cheek.
<Kit> <Chii> Oh, what's this? Iceheart paging you already?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> No. I just felt like giving you a kiss.
<Kit> 6Chii peers blankly for a moment, then blushes and gazes toward the wall. 1"Y-yeah right."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Alright, I won't make you blush anymore.
<Kit> 6Chii jerks back to peering at her, waving her hands. 1"I didn't say that!"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> *laughs softly*
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You're as cute as always, Chii.
<Kit> 6Chii huffs. 1"...Ergh.."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles at her.
<Kit> <Chii> At least when you tease me I know better...
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Know better?
<Kit> <Chii> Mh. I know you care... I can tell. Never mind that we teased each other in bed anyway.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina studies Chii, running her finger along the table toward her.
<Kit> 6Chii blinks down at the finger.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Mmmm. 6* She takes a deep breath, smiling. "I guess I should stop teasing you."
<Kit> <Chii> Wh-why!?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You love her, don't you?
<Kit> 6Chii pauses, then tilts her head. 1"Who, Cheryl?"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina nods.
<Kit> <Chii> Well, yeah. What's that have to do with you?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Because I look at you, and I think it would be nice to relive some old memories with you. I'm not going to find 'the one', I think, not anymore. The Gift incident showed me that. But you. You love Cheryl, right?
* Ilya has joined #erevis
<Kit> 6Chii tilts her head the other way. 1"I love you, too. And Freyja. You're the only three I love."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> And I love you, sweetie.
* Ariel has quit IRC (Read error: Operation timed out)
<Kit> <Chii> I don't see what makes you think you need to quit. I find it fun." 6Frowns.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles. "I guess..." 6* She tries to think, then nods. "Alright. Lets see. For some people, they wouldn't like it if they loved someone, in a certain one, to see them flirting with another person. So, I wouldn't want to cause problems."
<DeathStar> *certain way
<Kit> <Chii> I don't think Cheryl's happy with you anyway. That and ever since she asked me if I loved her, she's been weird.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Hm. Maybe she doesn't know how to process it. Maybe... 6* She doesn't say it - maybe Cheryl can't love. "But I think it would hurt things between you two in that department if I flirted with you. Or acted on the flirting."
<Kit> <Chii> Tch. So eternal stalemate and boredom on my end. How droll.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina runs her finger along Chii's arm. "I'm sorry."
<Kit> <Chii> Eh, it's my fault as always. I do these things to myself.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl enters the bar, moving through it to talk to the bartender. She wears her brown coat, and her collar is on as always. Katrina glances at her, blinking in surprise.
<Kit> 6Chii slowly shifts her eyes to Cheryl, then hisses. 1"Figures."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina quietly observes, then looks at Chii. "I guess maybe it's a good thing I didn't kiss you on those adorable lips."
<Kit> 6Chii twitches at Katrina. 1"Brazen comment."
<Kit> 6Chii studies Cheryl from their spot. 1"Wonder if she came to let off steam underground."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina makes a bite motion with her teeth, then looks at Cheryl as she moves into the back
<Kit> <Chii> Guess so." 6She drops in tone.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Is that bad?
<Kit> 6Chii returns to peering at her glass, and calls for another.
<Kit> <Chii> Cheryl brought me here once." 6She says simply.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> But your tone seemed to drop when she went down there.
<Kit> <Chii> 'Cause she seems to have just come to beat stuff up.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oh. And you don't like that?
<Kit> <Chii> ..." 6Peers at Katrina, then the table. 1"Means she wasn't looking for me."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Honey. She probably wouldn't know how to find a ninja like you
<Kit> <Chii> Tch. Ho ho ho.
<Kit> 6Chii squints. 1"Real funny..."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina smiles. "Why not go down there after her?"
<Kit> <Chii> ...'Cause.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> 'cause why?
<Kit> <Chii> I ran away." 6She glares at the wall. 1"..."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Chii. 6* She leans back in her seat. "If you want to be with her, you have to get over things like pride and stubbornness."
<Kit> 6Chii leans over the table slightly, snapping. 1"She doesn't!"
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina leans forward herself. "You're the one who wants her."
<Kit> 6Chii drops back into her seat, steaming.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> You're definitely cute.
<Kit> <Chii> Oh yeah? You want to see cute!?
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Sure.
<Kit> 6Chii purses her lips and rummages at her side-- for a while. ...She pauses. 1"Oh, goddamn it."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> What? 6* She blinks, peering at Chii
<Kit> <Chii> ...Cheryl wins again. I gave the picture to Paladin.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Oooo? Picture?
<Kit> 6Chii sighs. 1"I took her to a photo shoot."
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Really? That's great.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina watches Chii, then glances at the door to the underground fighting, then back at Chii
<Kit> <Chii> I suppose. It was... a pretty difficult little session.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I can imagine.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina suddenly narrows her eyes.
<Kit> 6Chii blinks. 1"Wh-what now?"
<DeathStar> <Katrina> ... I just feel a lot of pain and rage from below.
<Kit> <Chii> It is a fight club.
<DeathStar> <Katrina> Mmmm. I think it's from Cheryl. I just hope she isn't... 6* Ripping someone's head off.
<Kit> 6Chii sighs softly. 1"...Wakata, wakata.." 6She puts her palms to the table and rises. Nearly falls-- steadies.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina glances at her. "Maybe you should stay here and let me go peek."
<Kit> <Chii> Seeing you'd just.. set her off... wouldnt it?"
<Kit> 6Chii wobbles for the counter.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina stands. "But you're drunk."
<Kit> <Chii> I'll b...e fine, damn it." 6She stumbles onto the main bar, squinting at the tender.
<DeathStar> 6* The bartender looks at her
<Kit> <Chii> ...I wanna go... down." 6She thumbs down.
<DeathStar> <Bartender> ... *he sniffs* You're too drunk
Session Close: Sat Apr 26 00:00:00 2008
Session Start: Sat Apr 26 00:00:00 2008
Session Ident: #erevis
<Kit> <Chii> ...Y'think so?
<DeathStar> <Bartender> Yeah.
<Kit> 6Chii rolls her eyes... slowly. 1"I can fix that, y'know."
<DeathStar> <Bartender> You got a Sober Up pill?
<Kit> 6Chii leans down and puts her head on the counter, as if about to take a nap.
<DeathStar> 6* The bartender stares.
<Kit> 6Chii then sits up, and peers at him. 1"How 'bout now?"
<DeathStar> 6* Bartender eyes her. "No way you're not drunk."
<Kit> <Chii> Well, of course the smell didn't go away, jackass. Want me to do some handstands for you?
<DeathStar> <Bartender> Yeah, that'll be interesting
<Kit> 6Chii blinks. Surprised. She looks back at Katrina. 1"I didn't actually expect him to want that."
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina watches the scene. "Well, he takes his job seriously"
<Kit> <Chii> Oy, don't have time for this...
<Kit> 6Chii takes a step backwards, then leans back and puts out a palm, rolling onto it, entering a quivering one-handed handstand, gazing up at him irritated.
<DeathStar> <Bartender> Now say the alphabet backwards.
<Kit> 6From Katrina's point of view, Chii's tail is obviously working hard to right her balance where her other limbs are lacking. 1"Z, y, x, w, v, u, t, s, r, q, p, o, n, m, l, k, j..."
<DeathStar> <Bartender> Alright, you can go in. For 10 credits.
<Kit> <Chii> The hell, man?!" 6Rights herself. 1"I didn't have to pay last time!"
<Kit> <Chii> Isn't my tab enough as is..!?
<DeathStar> <Bartender> IT costs 10 to actually participate in fights
<DeathStar> <Bartender> And tonight there's fighting going on
<Kit> <Chii> Costs 10 credits to get your ass handed to you by that devil woman. What a bargain.
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina puts down 10 credits for Chii
<Kit> 6Chii peers at Katrina in annoyance at this point, feeling her person.
<Kit> <Chii> Now I owe you money and karma? Oi...
<DeathStar> 6* Katrina kisses her cheek again
<DeathStar> <Katrina> I'll think of something good as payback
<Kit> <Chii> Scary." 6She eyes the tender.
<DeathStar> 6* The bartender waves her on back
<Kit> 6Chii moves past the counter and heads down, pondering Katrina's whim.
<DeathStar> 6* As Chii enters the sound proof area, she can hear the shouts of men, thirsty for blood. Glory. The smell of sweat and blood. Men are standing around, shoulder to shoulder, facing the arena mat, making it impossible to see what's happening
* Sera|WorkingCabbit is now known as Sally`Wolf
* Sally`Wolf is now known as Seraphna
<Kit> <Chii> Tch." 6Slips in and props a foot against one of their heel, striking at his chest with her elbow to throw him back and create room.
<DeathStar> 6* Inside, Cheryl is kneeling, blood coming down from her nose and mouth, her face bruised. Her collar has three lights, and smoke is rising as it burns her flesh. Her opponent is battered as well, and a big man, bigger than her in every way. As Chii knocks back the guy, those around him turn to face her, getting pissed
<Kit> 6Chii folds an ear back and reaches up, scratching behind it and closing one eyes, focusing on the two fighting with the other. She yawns.
<DeathStar> <Guy> What the hell are you hitting people for, little bitch? 6* He snaps at her. The other guy is beginning to recover.
* Chad-WorkSadFace is now known as Chad`Winters
<Kit> <Chii> To make room.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps up behind Chii. 1"There's rules around here Chii."
<Kit> 6Chii lets her hand fall, both ears flicks up. 1"Now shut up or I'll make some quiet, too."
<Kit> 6Chii peers back, flinching a bit. 1"..."
<DeathStar> 6* The guy finally recovers, approaching Chii, punching his fist into his hand dramatically
<Kit> 6Chii keeps watching the bout. 1"...You're here, Dias?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl punches the guy again, howling in pain. She sneers and knees him in the jaw, snarling this time.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Pffft. There's more than one of these places
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Plus...Seriously. 6He just rolls his eyes as if it should be obvious.
<Kit> 6Chii, having no idea what Dias is even talking about anymore-- ignores him.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl smashes her foot into his knee, grimacing in pain. The man roars in pain and smashes his fist into her jaw, sending her flying out of the ring
<Kit> <Chii> She seems fine. Other than just losing.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl weakly stands, her strength gone. She coughs up some blood, pissed.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Except for the glowing dots on her necklace. But hey, who am I to judge.
<Kit> <Chii> Old news, Dias.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slides a guy some credits then looks at Chii. 1"Huh? Really?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves over, leaning her face against the wall
<DeathStar> 6* She weakly pushes off the wall and moves out the back.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> A shame, I gotta learn not to bet on her now.
<Kit> 6Chii peers at Dias, frowning, then moves around people toward Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps out the back exit
* Ilya is now known as Ariel
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Ariel
<Kit> 6Chii makes sure to pick up pace to follow.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Make sure you tell her how lovely she was and any other form of love. 6He calls out to her
<Kit> 6Chii gives him the bird as she steps out.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves off into the crowds, making bets with people
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves down the back alley, holding her ribs.
<Kit> 6Chii continues stalking her quietly.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl finally plops down and leans her head against the wall
<Kit> 6Chii waits to see if she does anything else, then approaches silently and slumps beside her.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits there, twitching now and again. The collar gives off a burnt flesh smell, though the light indicators blink downward slowly. She finally opens her eyes and peers about, as if waking up again, and eyes Chii
<Kit> 6Chii eyes the opposing alleyway wall.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She glances ahead herself.
<Kit> <Chii> ... ...Sorry.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Huh? For what? 6* She eyes her again, spitting out some blood
<Kit> <Chii> Being a pissy little brat.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pinches her nose to stop it from bleeding. "Apology accepted."
* Xanatos is now known as Xan|Gonezors
<Kit> 6Chii slowly eyes Cheryl, narrowing her eyes.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You should probably tell Wolf you're sorry, too. Before she owns your ass
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl doesn't seem to notice the look yet
<Kit> <Chii> Whatever. I already sent her to visit Truce.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> That's what I'm talking about. That's exactly the shit I'm talking about
<Kit> 6Chii peers upward. 1"She might not be all bad, though. Apparently she didn't even tell Paladin."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits there, annoyed again
<Kit> <Chii> Not like I could ignore that, though. She just waltzes on the scene and then thinks she has the right to write you off? Hrmph..
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't want you doing shit like that. 6* She snarls in rage. "That's why I want you off the team. IF you're going to do shit like that to other people because of what they do or don't do to me, then ultimately, it's my fault."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her.
<Kit> <Chii> I did quit, Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares at her, then looks ahead. "Oh."
<Kit> <Chii> I know what you meant. I know what you were thinking. That's exactly why it pissed me off and I left.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I see.
<Kit> 6Chii beats her hand at the ground a couple of times and murmurs. 1"I came here to think."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
<Kit> <Chii> And here you are.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Well, I'll get out of your hair, then.
<Kit> <Chii> I swear, Cheryl. You get up I'll trip you until you can't stand.
<Kit> 6Chii smiles to the ground. 1"Then I'll kidnap you again."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her, then snorts.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands up, as if daring her to do something about it. "So, what are you going to do now?"
<Kit> 6Chii peers up at her, then kicks her right leg out toward the back of Cheryl's knee, shifting her body to the right and holding her arms out. 1"Depends."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snarls as she falls.
<Kit> 6Chii tries to ensare Cheryl in a nice, disdainful hug as she topples down toward her.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl elbows Chii
<Kit> 6Chii hurks, but tries to grip her anyway.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snarls again. "Let go."
<Kit> 6Chii utters quietly. 1"...I dont wanna."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grinds her teeth
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias steps out the back door whistling a tune, his fingers rummaging through a wad of credits
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl goes still
<Kit> 6Chii unlatches her fingers, shifting back to her original position.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl doesn't move off of Chii
<Kit> 6Chii frowns, peering at Cheryl inquisitively.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias ducks as bottle comes flying out, smashing into the opposite wall.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pulls herself off of Chii finally, sitting there
<Kit> 6Chii sighs quietly, and peers toward Dias with annoyance.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pockets the credits and eyes the two love birds.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Dias, then the wall
<Kit> <Chii> Say something, Dias.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Something.
<Kit> <Chii> Good." 6Waves her hand toward the exit of the alley.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ho ho ho. 6He eyes Cheryl. 1"Hey Cheryl."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... Dias.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> If you're done working for scraps here, there's an underground tournament coming up.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm fine.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> What do you know, looks can be deceiving. 6He pats himself down, making a quizical face then pulls out a small note pad and jots something down on it.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh and that whole me saying I love you thing. 6He waves his hand dismissively. 1"Don't worry about it anymore, we all make mistakes."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Frankly, it wasn't on my mind.
<Kit> 6Chii leans her hands behind her head, but peers toward Dias blankly.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Thank god, I'd hate for there to be some sort of awkwardness between us. 6He turns his notepad upside down and scrunches his nose.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No. There's nothing at all between us.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl keeps eyeing the wall, talking in an even tone.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah, the monotone voice gives it away.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
<Kit> 6Chii gazes between the two, then rises. 1"...This... isn't my business. I'll be back at HQ.
<Kit> <Chii> ..." 6She seems to twitch, saying that, then moves between them, leaving the alley.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> And the silent response.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stands after Chii leaves, and walks off.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stares at Cheryl's ass as she walks off.
<Kit> 6Chii heads back to the base, a walk.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves, awkwardly and painfully, in a direction that takes her no where that is base related.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias in a brazen move of boldness, just moves back inside the fight club.
<DeathStar> 6* The door's locked
<DeathStar> 6* He can only go in through the entrance upstairs in the bar
<Kit> 6Chii lest she's stopped, heads for her room.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias jiggles the handle and sighs
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Damn, defeated by conventional locks.
<DeathStar> 6* The guards glance at Chii, stopping her
<DeathStar> <Guards> I'm sorry, you're not allowed on base.
<Kit> <Chii> I'm not really in the mood right now.
<DeathStar> <Guards> Orders, ma'am.
<DeathStar> <Guards> We have your belongings here. 6* He reaches into the station and pull out a large box.
<Kit> <Chii> Take your orders and sho--- ..." 6She twitches, refraining from finishing the sentence.
<DeathStar> 6* The guard with the box set it down in front of Chii
<Kit> <Chii> I came back to speak with the general anyway. I just wanted to sleep first. Being drunk isn't exactly presentable.
<DeathStar> <Guard> I'm sorry, but the General says you're not allowed back onto the base.
<Kit> <Chii> Then get the fucking general on the..." 6She holds her forehead.
<DeathStar> <Guard> *gets annoyed*
<DeathStar> <Guard 2> I think I can see why the General banned this one, ey?
<Kit> <Chii> Forget it. I'll go sleep under a bridge.
<Kit> 6Chii picks up the box and moves off.
<DeathStar> <Guard> Have fun. 6* He doesn't sound like he means it
* Kit peers over her shoulder. 1"Sarcasm. From an officer on duty. Huh."
<DeathStar> -END/PAUSE-

* Logging #taw to 'logs\EsperNet\#taw.20080426.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-588.1.9 -1 day after last mini-
<DeathStar> Location: HQ
<DeathStar> 6* It's another lovely day at the HQ
<DeathStar> 6* Dias gets a buzz on his comm. "Sir, you have a visitor. Should we let her in?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias snorts awake, wiping drool from his face. He fumbles around and hits his comm. 1"Huh?"
<DeathStar> <Voice> You have a visitor, sir.
<Chad`Winters> <DiasComm> Yeah, yeah let 'em in. Tell them I'm in the messhall.
<DeathStar> <Voice> Alright, sir.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias rubs his face as he eyes the drool spot on the table infront of him. He gets up and moves over to the fridge and begins rummaging through it
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stands at the guard station, getting a visitor ID tag, and signs in her name.
<DeathStar> 6* The guards then search her for weapons, which she just rolls her eyes.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias grabs a bottle of juice and tosses it behind him. He then begins rummaging for something else.
<DeathStar> 6* After this is done, Zephyr moves past the guard station and into the building
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias grabs two energy drinks and then turns around, grabbing the juice with his free hand and he moves back to a different table and sits down.
<DeathStar> 6* The guards boredly sit at their station, wondering if anyone more zany characters will show up today
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr steps into the messhall. She's wearing her trench coat, which she's gotten adjusted so it doesn't drag anymore. She peers about, and spots Dias. "Hi, Superhero."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias glances over at her as he grabs a knife and jams it into the bottom side of the energy can. 1"You're my visitor?"
<Kit> 6A white-haired kitsune shows up before the guards, holding up a hand. 1"Ohayou!"
<DeathStar> 6* The guards look at the white-haired kitsune
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Wow. Is that the greeting I get?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes her than holds a finger up, signaling her to hold on. He makes the hole he made bigger then puts it to his mouth and then tilts the can up and cracks it open, downing the drink in a few seconds. He sets the can down. 1"Sorry, tired. ZEPHYR!"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr moves over and sits right next to Dias. "Where's my hug?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias smiles and puts his arm around her, giving her a hug. He turns his head to other way and lets out a loud belch. 1"Sorry."
<Kit> 6Freyja peers at the guards. 1"What kind of faces are those? Seen a ghost? Eat something bad?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You're disgusting.
<DeathStar> <Guard> Can we help you, ma'am?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Just one of my charming qualities.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah right.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias makes a hurt face, even throwing in a sniffle
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Whatever. I know I taught you better than that
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah, yeah. 6He stops hugging her. 1"So what's up?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I came to see you, since you never come to see me.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias makes an oh crap face. 1"Oh...Shit. I haven't have I..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks hurt. "No. Not at all. I mean. I died and all, and you haven't even visited me now that I'm alive again."
<Kit> <Freyja> Well, I came to see Chii.
<DeathStar> <Guard> Hm. Hold on. 6* They get out their notepads, then pause. "Chii has resigned from this establishment, ma'am."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Sorry about that. 6He rubs the back of his neck. 1"Guess that makes me a lousy friend."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> And I thought you cared. 6* She looks even sadder now.
<Kit> <Freyja> Eh? That's strange. She was here yesterday.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Hey. 6He points his finger at her. 1"You know that's not true.
<DeathStar> <Guard> She resigned yesterday, ma'am.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at him. "Oh?"
<Kit> <Freyja> ...Mmm... Is the Successor here?
<DeathStar> <Guard> Who?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Pfft, oh come on now.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr props her head up, peering at him. "So why don't you ever come to see me anymore?"
<Kit> <Freyja> Er, sorry, hee hee. General Paladin, right?
<DeathStar> <Guard> Ah, hold on. 6* They go to contact the General to see if he'll take visitors
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I really have no idea. 6He shrugs. 1"It's not that I didn't want to, I just...6He rubs the side of his head, struggling.
<DeathStar> 6* The guard hangs up. "The General will see you. Please sign your name there." 6* He gets an ID ready
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I see. 6* She pokes him in the side.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias jerks from the poke getting a perterbed look. 1"Hey, I'm not a bad guy. Just...not perfect."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I know. 6* She hugs him. "I'm picking on you. I'm sure you have your reasons."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah, I haven't really visited anyone for a several months. Kinda needed some me time I guess.
<Kit> 6Freyja peers at the sheet, hesitating, then puts in calligraphy "F.R.E.Y.J.A"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr props her head up. "I guess I'll forgive you for not buying me a present, then."
<DeathStar> 6* The guard gives her the ID, then searches her for weapons
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias blinks then looks at her. 1"Present?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You missed my birthday.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias winces. 1"Wow I screwed up."
<Kit> 6Freyja blinks a few times. 1"Ah-hah, isn't this a first date..?"
<DeathStar> <Guard> Very funny, ma'am.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at him. "It's okay. You probably don't even know what day it is." 6* She sticks out her tongue
<Chad`Winters> Dias tilts his head as he looks up, obviously concentrating
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I know this, hold on.
<Kit> 6Freyja isn't carrying anything except a peculiar string of glass marbles or beads, about the size of a ping pong balls, perfectly clear alternating with a transparent dark blue.
<DeathStar> 6* The guard scans the beads
<Kit> 6Glass.
<DeathStar> <Guard> Okay, you can go on inside. Have a good day, ma'am
<Kit> 6Freyja smiles at them, then cheerfully strolls in, with a bit of a skip in her step, swinging her arms to an unheard song.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ah shit. I hope Aya doesn't still want a pony. 6He slowly looks around.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at the table. It's hard to tell if she's really bothered by Dias' forgetfulness or not. "Aya was spoiled pretty good this year."
<Kit> 6Freyja makes for the office of Paladin, peering about curiously.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'll make it upto you Zeph.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin waits on Freyja, glancing at her when she steps in
<Kit> <Freyja> Hiii!" 6She's dressed in a pseudo-modern version of a miko outfit, adorned with ribbons and bells. 1"How are things?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It's okay. 6* She hands him a gift wrapped present
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes the gift oddly. 1"For me?"
<DeathStar> <Zephy> Yeah. While you don't really have a birthday, tomorrow's the day of our first adventure together against those Dragoon Hunters. And so I thought I'd give you that gift, since it was sort of the point you started to grow.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Alright, considering. I'm glad you followed protocol. Thank you
<Kit> <Freyja> It's nothing. I'm a good girl, so I hear.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias get's a confused look at that. 1"Really? 6He than laughs. 1"Some would say I haven't grown at all."
<Kit> 6She smiles widely, then tilts her head to the side, folding her hands behind her. 1"So why'd Chiikun run away?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hmmm. Maybe you haven't. Maybe you have. 6* She shrugs
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Apparantly because Cheryl told her to leave.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Eh, I'm me, that's all that matters, ni?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> That's right.
<Kit> <Freyja> Really!? Wow...
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Wanna know the best part of not offically having a birthday? 6He eyes her, as if holding the secret to the universe
<DeathStar> <Paladin> You seem surprised.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What's that?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I can tell a restaurant it's my birthday and not being lieing since it could be. 6He beams
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sighs. "That's definitely you."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Of course it helps if you have an id to back it up.
<Kit> <Freyja> Well, it seems a little strange..." 6Shrugs. 1"But then again, I can't divine Chiikun."
<DeathStar> <Paladin> It is a shame it had to end that way.
<Kit> <Freyja> Something ended?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at Dias, and shakes her head. "Oh, Dias. I never did teach you properly."
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Her career here.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh you did a bang up job. I just had John to lead me astray.
<Kit> 6Freyja holds a hand to her lips and gasps. 1"You wouldn't take her back?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I guess I wouldn't make a good mother. 6* She notes wryly.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> She resigned. 6* He notes.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias laughs. 1"Aya's proof that that's bullshit.
<Kit> <Freyja> Hmm... But would you?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I didn't really have much to do with Aya, though. Not really. 6* She leans further on her head. "I mean, I was a baby myself for a while there while she was in her development years."
<DeathStar> <Paladin> This isn't a revolving door, Freyja.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Bah, you'd be a wonderful full time mother. 6He nudges her shoulder.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Mmmmm. I'll never really know.
<Kit> <Freyja> So you wouldn't?" 6She grins.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Hell, who wouldn't want to have a mom who could dart a permiscious boy from 1500 yards?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes him. "Uh huh."
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Why are you asking?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Look, don't talk stupid like that.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pouts with her lips. "Are you saying I'm stupid?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> If you keep talking like that. Yes.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You're really mean to girls.
<Kit> 6Freyja blinks and sits up, shrugging. 1"Well, I came to examine Chiikun a little, but since she's not here I'm bored. I thought it might be fun to make a wager, but if you're not interested in her returning, there's no point, really."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You're the one talking all mopey like about who you dont' think you'd be a good mom when it's obviously not true.
<Kit> 6Freyja tilts her head a bit. 1"Would you prefer a nice girl who follows orders like me over Chiikun?"
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Do you follow orders? 6* He asks curiously.
<Kit> <Freyja> Yes, sir!
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Interesting.
<Kit> 6She giggles, covering her mouth.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sticks out her tongue. "So mean."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Stern. 6He points.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> First you forget my birthday, now you're calling me stupid. Gee, Dias."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias rolls his eyes. 1"It's amazing that girls even slept with me in the first place after hearing you talk."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah, I agree. Ew.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin studies her.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ouch. 6He grabs his chest in pain then grabs his second energy drink and cracks it open, taking a pull.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It's sad you need to drink so many of those.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I had a late...late...late night last night.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Doing what?
<Kit> 6Freyja peers at Paladin, narrowing her eyes despite smiling. 1"I can follow orders fine enough, but if it suits me, I can be far more treacherous."
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Hm. I don't think I'd hire you. Based off General Carmichael's notes.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Fighting. 6He bites his upper lip as he looks at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at him. "That sounds like you."
<Kit> 6Freyja blinks, then grins. 1"Oooh, what'd he say? What'd he say?"
<DeathStar> <Paladin> They indicated you're better suited not on the team.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well I don't spar with anyone on base anymore. 6He shrugs. 1"So I had to find a challenge somewhere else."
<Kit> 6Freyja giggles. 1"Mmh, I think I did more work with Warren not being involved directly with the unit's affairs. I don't like getting my hands dirty with people around..." 6She toes the ground, glancing down, blushing. 1"It's embarassing, hee."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Ah. 6* She eyes him. "So that's what you do. You fight all night, and drink energy drinks all day."
<Kit> <Freyja> Caduceus is very able otherwise.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin listens to her
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> No, I fight all night and sleep all day. 6He points, correcting her. 1"It's not all night. It depends on how many fights I win. If I get knocked out right away I watch one or two more then sleep somewhere."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sighs a bit. "Sounds boring."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well what's a fun day and night for you?
<Kit> <Freyja> I'd bet Chiikun's already changed her mind.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hanging out with others. Going out and doing things with them.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> I see. 6* He doesn't sound like that's a good thing.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You have others? 6He looks as if jealous.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Don't act that way. You're the one who's too busy to hang out with his old friends
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I'll make time for you than. 6He holds his hands up, defensively
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hmph! I don't believe you! 6* She crosses her arms.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> That hurts.
<Kit> <Freyja> So you agree with Chiikun, Successorsan?
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Agree?
<Kit> <Freyja> You know she tried to kill me, right?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr keeps her arms crossed, her head tilted up
<DeathStar> <Paladin> I was here when you showed up for protection
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias sighs and holds is pinky out.
<Kit> 6Freyja holds up a hand and shakes her head. 1"Before that."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glances at the pinky, then at Dias. "You're seriously doing a pinky swear?"
<DeathStar> <Paladin> So she's done it before?
<Kit> <Freyja> Mmhmm. It was a side effect of her awakening.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well we could spit on it...6He shrugs, but he's serious
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr holds out her pinky as well. "You're such a dork."
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Was it?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pinky swears. 1"Hmpf, and here I was hoping to swap spit with you. 6He sighs.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Ew. You make it sound like you want to kiss me.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias laughs. 1"That was the idea Zephyr."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Ungh. You whore.
<Kit> 6Freyja laughs. 1"Mmhmm. Don't you know? She tries not to upset the balance of people's auras only taking a little here and there to sustain herself and to wage her fights. Most of the time she only eats what we don't like. You could call her sympathetic if you didn't know her very well.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It was a joke. 6He keeps laughing. Seemingly relaxed.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah? You'd be so lucky to kiss me. 6* She hrmphs.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin just listens
<Kit> <Freyja> Being around the unit without me she awoke to her own, though. She was afraid I'd try to keep her to myself, try to become my old self again, since I had begun to heal. I wasn't entirely hatred anymore.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You're probably right, but that'd be kinda creepy. Like french kissing your grandma or something.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr reels back. "W-w-what?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You're probably older than me!
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> My ID says i'm 18. 6He fumbles into his back pocket and pulls one out, showing it to her.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Tch. Even if you were 18, which you're probably older than that, I'm way younger than that
* Jackieness has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It's how old I am on the inside that counts. 6he puts a hand over his heart and gives her a puppy dog face.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah. Whatever. Like, only an adult would go out all night and beat up on people
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin continues to listen
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I get beat up too you know.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I don't believe you
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Thanks! 6He beams with pride.
<Kit> <Freyja> She's not very good with coping, so when she gets something in her head, she'll stomp on it before giving it a chance. But that stubborness goes both ways. She's decided to live her own way, and I doubt she'll give up on that so easily just because she still feels like she's worthless and discardable.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sighs. "Great, I feed your ego."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ya gotta becareful around me. I'm good at tricking girls into doing that.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I bet you're good at tricking them into a lot of things. You perv.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well yeah. 6He beams again with pride. 1"But I haven't in over...a year now I think.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin still listens.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes him, then his crotch. "Is it broken?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> No, I just...6He scratches the back of his head. 1"I thought I'd try to settle down with one girl and she was way to obessive. And I really haven't dated since than I guess."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh. Who?
<Kit> <Freyja> I do wonder where she's gotten off to, though. It's not good for little girls with no self-esteem to sleep outside.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Perhaps you should try to locate her.
<Kit> 6Freyja rubs her head sheepishly. 1"I can't."
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Really?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Some random NPC. 6He takes a drink from his can
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks. "Huh?"
* Xanatos has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Xanatos
<Kit> <Freyja> Any time I try to divine her, I just locate myself, Hee hee.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Is that normal?
<Kit> <Freyja> Well, we are one and the same, still.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Some girl I met at a bar.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I see. ... so, how many girls have you slept with, anyway?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I have to answer this again?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm just curious
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I think I said 30 some last time.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Ah. That makes sense.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods, considering something
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> What are you considering...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> N-Nothing!
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr waves her hands quickly
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> That's not a n-nothing.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Shut up!
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ut!
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr fumes at him.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin nods a few times, leaning back in his seat.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Don't judge me. 6He gives her his trademark innocent look.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Tch. As if I'd judge you!
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias beams again, taking that as a compliment
<Kit> <Freyja> Hmmm, that said...
<DeathStar> <Paladin> The problem with Chii, Freyja, is her attitude, and her rash judgments. This isn't a revolving door. Her hasty decision to quit, without being willing to consider the consequences or rethink it, is a problem. It means she's unreliable. It means it can happen again. It means I can't depend on her
<Kit> 6Freyja peers at Paladin curiously. 1"What are you counting on her for?"
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Nothing anymore.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hrmphs and eyes the table
<Kit> <Freyja> Was she ever aware you were?
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias smiles, chuckling to himself. 1"I'm glad you stopped by."
<DeathStar> <Paladin> I count and depend on all people in my unit. And I made it aware I considered her a part of my unit.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> However, her only reason for being here was Cheryl.
<Kit> 6Freyja taps her lip. 1"Of course it was."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes him. "Well, you should be."
* Xanatos has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
<Kit> <Freyja> It's a bit of hot water to get through to her given your position, General Gordon Paladin. Chii believes her original existence to be a tool and weapon, now that she's trying to be independent, it's the one thing she'll always be paranoid of-- being used. Cheryl offered her friendship and wanted nothing in return, right?"
<DeathStar> <Paladin> I am unsure. I suppose so
* Xanatos has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Xanatos
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> And I will definetly make it upto you and get you a birthday gift.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It's okay. I don't need a gift.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> So now buying a giant cake and hiding inside it?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Chad already did that
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stares at her, unsure of how to take that. 1"He actually stayed inside a cake without freaking out?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr just grins. "Man, you're gullible."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> OH ho ho ho. 6He rolls his eyes. 1"But I'm sure you would've loved it if he jumped out of a cake for you.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Because I know of his phobias?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> If that's what you need to tell yourself. 6He winks at her. 1"I won't tell anyone.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks, confused. "Huh?"
<Kit> <Freyja> She can feel your emotions, Successor, but she can't read your thoughts. She knows what you're feeling, not what you're thinking. Your intentions won't get through very easily to someone so scared.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It's awight. 6He pats her head
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr frowns.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> I see.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias slides her his unopened juice. 1"Now turn that frown. Upside down.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr flicks his nose.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> HEY!
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Whatcha going to do about it? Hmm? Hit a girl?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well if I have to...6He stands up and slides his sleeves back, showing off the black markings. He clenches his left fist. 1"I'm going to warn you, this is a big first."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr holds out her chin to him.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias pulls his fist back then stops. 1"I could never hit you like this."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> As if you could ever hit me anytime. 6* She sticks out her tongue
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Only in the heat of passion. 6He wiggles his eyebrows and plops back down.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Ew.
<Kit> 6Chii peers out from under an overpass. 1"... ... ..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Don't mock it 'till you try it.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Wait, what?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> N-nothing
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... What do you mean n-nothing?
<Chad`Winters> Shut up.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Dias
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr crosses her arms
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stands his ground, defiantely
<Kit> 6Chii sits back under the shade and opens the box, peering inside.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks away
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I was just teasing.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hrmphs.
<Kit> 6Chii empties the box, puts everything on, then rubs her head groggily and heads back down the street, for the alley.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin looks at Freyja
<DeathStar> <Paladin> I will consider the matter; however, Chii doesn't appear to be coming back to the base to discuss it
<Kit> 6Freyja seems to be staring off into space. 1"Mmh, you think so?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias leans back. 1"You're not gonna keep holding everything I say against me, are ya?
<Kit> 6Chii peers into the alley.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> If you tell me what it means, nope!
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Eh, it's not that important.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin nods once.
<Kit> <Freyja> So you don't think she's come already?
<DeathStar> <Paladin> No
<Kit> <Freyja> So she took her weapons with her?
<Kit> 6Chii kneels in the alley, studying the ground. Cheryl was bleeding last she saw her.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Picking up one's stuff, and coming to ask to talk rejoin, are two different things.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glares.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Fine fine. I was just saying that you're only saying what you did to hide that you'd be happy with him leaping out of a cake for you.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stares at him. "You're weird. I'm talking about the hit thing."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh the hit thing. Some people like to get physical during the act of sex.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So you like to hit women during sex?
<DeathStar> 6* Well, yeah, Cheryl was indeed bleeding
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I was joking.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr squints at him. As if she isn't sure. Dias DOES like to hit things
<Kit> 6Chii follows the trail?
<DeathStar> 6* There's not really a blood trail, no
<Kit> 6Chii grumbles, trying a reactive powder to see if she can get any further, peering around in annoyance, but thus far not feeling anything resembling the raging juggernaut.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yeah yeah, I don't.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oi, I think two energy drinks aren't gonna keep me up. 6He rubs his face
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Wait --- you're...going to sleep?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I need to take a nap. 6He stands up and gives her a hug.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stares at him in disbelief. "Unbelieveable!"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I know, I know. 6She gives her a hug. 1"You can hold it against me."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr scowls
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> i'll make it upto you. I promise. 6He let's go and steps out.
<Kit> 6Chii scowls at a lack of any directions and heads into the bar with a pissy look.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks around the messhall now
<DeathStar> 6* Since it's day, the bar's pretty much empty
<Xanatos> 6* Marcus steps into the messhall and then pauses, glancing over his shoudler, then looks at Zephyr. "Zeph?"
* Xanatos is now known as Marcus`
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at Marcus. "Ah. Hi."
<Marcus`> Hey. What're you doing here?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Came to see Dias, but he bailed. 6* She stands up. "Guess I'll go."
<Marcus`> Yeah that sounds like Dias. *he moves to grab a bottle of water* Leaving so soon?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah.
<Marcus`> Don't feel like talking to me, I take it?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You, uh, wanted to talk about something?
<Marcus`> Nothing particular. I haven't hung out with you in a very long time, Zeph. LIke, PAX2 long time.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah. I know.
* Marcus` arches a brow. "Well. I guess, I can't make you stay and talk to me, right?" He pauses, then, "I just hope your not mad at me because of what happened between me and Cheryl."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah. I am.
<Marcus`> I really don't understand why.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shrugs. "Yeah. I guess you wouldn't."
<Marcus`> You know, you could explain it to me. Might help.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr slides her hands into her trench coat, glancing at him. "Let me ask you a few questions first. Back when you first knew me; was your entire goal just to get in my pants? Have sex with me?"
<Marcus`> No. That wasn't it at all.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah? What was it?
<Marcus`> I don't know, Zephyr. I think out of everyone, you treated me like I had a chance to be great, not the worthless waiter. I really grew to like you, even love you. But then you grew up and I didn't, I was still me. Then you ungrew, alot, and well...
<Marcus`> You're one of the main reasons i'm the fighter I am today.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Marcus, what you do, it's just. Really. Disgusting. First you sleep with Angela. You even get her pregnant. And then you're not there for her. You don't even love her. Yet you had sex with her and you got her pregnant. And then you have sex with my sister. Do you have a scorecard?
<Marcus`> I'm not there for her? She ran away, she left to go be with you all. I had to fight, it's all I know now. I didn't love her, no. But I wasn't going to let her raise those kids alone, I was going to be a father, no matter if I was ready or not.
<Marcus`> NRP: I wasn't.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You still had sex with her.
<Marcus`> Yeah, so i'm not allowed to have sex with people? I guess since I can't find someone that I could love, that would love me back, that I'm just supposed to be sterile?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shrugs. "Marcus. Do what you want. But the fact is I don't have to like it, or approve of it."
<Marcus`> I'm sorry i've had sex with 2 people in the past how many years, really Zeph, I am. But I didn't have you there anymore, I had to move on because I lost whatever I thought I had going with you.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shakes her head, and gives him a smile. "I hope you do well with your fighting, Marcus."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr moves for the door.
* Marcus` sighs. "I want us to be friends. Is that possible?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at Marcus. "I don't like how you treat my family, Marcus. Angela may be needy, but to her, the whole sex thing meant something more. And I think, maybe, you knew that. Angela's a leech, but she's up front about it."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> And Cheryl. Well. She's fragile.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin peers at Freyja. "Did you have something more to discuss?"
<Marcus`> And I was upfront to her. I told her I didn't love her, I told her than I don't even know if I ever could, but I made it damn sure that I would be there to support those children. *he rubs his face* I didn't realize Cheryl was, so what I did, yeah it cost me my best friend, Cheryl knows i'll be there for her if she needs me, but I don't ever think we'll do something like that ever again.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I hope you don't.
<Marcus`> I'm sorry that things happened. But i'm pretty sure you could ask either of them and they would tell you that they don't hate me. I've made sure to clear things up with them, because I don't like it when people are mad at me. I'm sorry Zephyr, but don't worry, you won't hear about me and any member of your family ever again.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm sure they don't hate you. I just don't like how careless you are.
<Marcus`> Alright, you made your point. From now on, when a woman asks me to have sex with them, I'll say no.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr rolls her eyes. "Yeah. Whatever."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr walks off.
* Marcus` grits his teeth and tightens his fist, clearly upset, he closes his eyes and tries to calm himelf down
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stops at the exit to the messhall. "When you're ready to listen to me and act mature, maybe we'll talk and can actually be friends."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr walks out
* Marcus` opens his eyes quickly, and moves to step out into the hallway. "Okay, I can do that. Right now. Let's sit down, let's talk."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr crosses her arms, turning to peer back at Marcus, having to tilt her head to look up at him, since she's a shorty.
<Marcus`> I'll shut my mouth, i'll stop defending myself, and i'll listen.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> My point isn't you having sex. My point is your carelessness. Did you stop and think to about the act with the two women? What it would mean? What your relationship with them would be afterwards? What it would mean? That's what I mean by carelessness. You didn't consider the effect of the act itself. I'm not condemning the act.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> If I suddenly threw myself at you, and wanted you to have sex with me, would you just do it? Would you take me right here without thinking to yourself why I asked? What was driving me? What it would mean? The consequences? If I was hurting? If I would be hurt by it?
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin waves his hand in front of Freyja
<Kit> 6Freyja peers toward Paladin slowly. 1"...No, not really. I just don't have anywhere else to go or wait."
* Marcus` arches a brow and rubs the side of his face. "I guess with Angela I only thought she wanted casual sex, you know we could still be friends. It's the way she went about it that made me think that. But Cheryl, yeah i'll admit, that was immature I didn't think about anyone other than myself, about how much I wanted too.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I know you're smarter than that. Angela's history is an open book to anyone. You know that when Angela gets a connection with someone, it means something to her, and it hurt when you didn't want that connection. I don't care if you said up and down, "I don't love you." You made love to her. That's how she saw it. Making love. And Cheryl. She's the same way. She's scared of sex. (cont)
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> The first time she had sex with Warren, she was terrified. Because she had to make an emotional connection to someone, along with a physical connection, and we all know how emotional connections terrify the hell out of Cheryl. The fact she had sex with you is out of character for her, and frankly, it worries me what she's thinking psychologically to justify the act, because I'm sorry, Marcus, she doesn't love you, (cont)
<Kit> 6Chii has downed three before she smacks her head into the table with a sigh. After doing so, she sits up, squinting. With an irritated huff she gets up, leaving credits out for the tab and makes her way quickly outward.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> And I don't think she wanted an emotional connection with you. Everyone thinks I'm too young to understand these things, that I'm the baby, but I get it, because I can watch everyone else and how they act. I watched mom with Darien. I watched Angela with every man she was with. And Cheryl with Warren. She would let things slip to me, but I saw she connected on some emotional level, and it scared the hell out of her.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So that's why I'm pissed. I'm pissed you didn't think. You didn't consider. You just acted.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin nods once. "Do you want to get brunch, then?"
<Kit> <Freyja> ...Haa?
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin looks serious. "That a problem?"
* Marcus` stands there silent for a moment, then nods. "You're right, I did those things because i'm selfish, and despite how I justify it, you're right. I know how Cheryl justifies it, because I knew that she was just using me for some purpose. But I said to myself, 'This is one opportunity you don't want to miss.' But I didn't know at the time was that she was trying to find someway to get <cont>
<Kit> <Freyja> Well. No.
<Kit> 6Chii slips up to Chad's apartment, having descended from the floor above for whatever reason rather than using the stairs.
<Marcus`> Dias to leave her alone, since him confessing his love to her scared the crap out of her. So yeah, I didn't actually think what could've happened, and I lost my best friend. I wouldn't want to lose you either, Zeph. So you're right, i'm a tool, I need to make this up to you, to them.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin nods, standing. "Then lets go."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stares, crossing her arms. "So that's who Dias meant." 6* She sighs. "I see. I'm just worried Cheryl hates herself more for sleeping with you just to make....Dias...stop wanting her. And I'm angry that you so readily thought with your...groin that you let it happen. Especially after you did the same thing with Angela."
<Kit> 6Freyja tilts her head slightly, then rises, forming an unsure smile. 1"Sure."
<DeathStar> <Paladin> You don't have to eat with me. I haven't had breakfast, and I need food, and since you apparantly have nothing better to do than stare at me, I thought you might want to accompany me.
<Marcus`> I'm going to have to talk to Angela, even though it's been some time, i'm going to have to aplogize, because it's important that I do. And I've been trying to show Cheryl that she can rely on me, that she doesn't have to have an emotional attachment to me to be my friend, because right now, with Chii confessing her love, and the corrupt power doing god knows what, she really needs someone.
<Kit> <Freyja> I understand, Gordon.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I care about my sister, and I want to help her, too, but offering help is just as good as getting shut out. And Cheryl's use to being the protector of us Alphas. Ever since the Ridiarium War. She's worked so hard to make sure we were all safe. Especially me. So I feel like I owe her a lot.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin nods, locking up files, and moves out of the office.
<Marcus`> We've been hanging out, drinking, I don't think that it'll take much stock, but I talk with her about things, about everyone else. And she wants so much to just be the weapon that she was designed to be, I guess after everything that has happened, she just doesn't want to deal with the hassle of being emotionally attached. *he groans* I really am sorry.
<Marcus`> At least I know now why Kat didn't want anything to do with me.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr gives Marcus a sympathetic look. Apparantly she's forgiven him.
<Kit> 6Chii approaches the door like this is a breaching mission-- then reaches over and... knocks.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Cheryl thinks she doesn't care. That she doesn't have love in her, but she does. She doesn't realize it. Understand it. I think she really did care about Ben. That's why she sent him away. So he couldn't be manipulated and used like she is. A half-dragoon baby and all would be valuable to people. She won't tell even me where he's at.
<DeathStar> 6* The door opens and Aya peers at Chii, wearing pajamas. Ah, Sundays. "Hello."
<Kit> 6Chii peers downward, jerking slightly. A CHILD!
<Kit> <Chii> A-Aya...
<DeathStar> <Aya> Hello, Miss. Chii.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin moves out to his car.
<Kit> 6Freyja follows along behind Paladin. 1"You don't mind that I'll draw attention? You seem to like your peace and quiet."
<Marcus`> Jesus, I guess I was really wrong. I told her that I would allow her to be the weapon she was, that I understood who she really is, and guess I didn't. I guess I really just saw what she wanted me to see.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> If they focus on you, I'll be ignored.
<Kit> 6Freyja pauses, then laughs softly. 1"That is true..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shrugs. "Maybe she is a weapon. But I think she's a weapon who's more caring than she realizes. She's my big sister, after all. The one who told me, with a grin on her face, to kick Chad in the groin when I met him."
<Kit> 6Chii takes a step backwards, twitching a little. She smells like alcohol still she imagines. 1"Um..."
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin gets into an older vehicle, apparantly not one for fancy vehicles. But first, he opens the door for Freyja, like a gentleman
<DeathStar> 6* Aya smiles at her. "You're here for Aunt Cheryl?"
<Kit> <Chii> Uh... Yeah." 6She stops retreating, sulking a bit.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya peers at her. "What's wrong? You look unhappy."
<Kit> 6Freyja curtsies, then gets into the car.
* Marcus` smirks. "Well I know if I tried to help her realize it, she would probably hate me."
<DeathStar> 6* After closing the door, and getting into the car, Paladin drives.
<Kit> <Chii> Well, um..." 6She peers at Aya skeptically. 1"...I'm not exactly cleaned up, you know."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Probably. 6* She shrugs. Then looks at Marcus. "Sorry about being mad at you."
<Kit> <Chii> And Cheryl probably won't want to see me.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Oh. So why did you come? 6* She sounds confused
<Kit> <Chii> Because I had to.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Why?
<Kit> 6Chii squints. 1"...G-grr.. what is it about you that makes it impossible to lie?"
<DeathStar> 6* Aya blinks. "Uh...I'm sorry. Am I prying?"
<Kit> 6Chii reels from the 'why.'
<Kit> <Chii> I-It's okay...
<DeathStar> 6* Aya glances at the floor, looking ashamed.
<Kit> 6Chii beckons Aya over with a wave motion.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya peers up, then moves forward, cautiously
<Marcus`> I'm sorry for giving you a reason. *he holds out his hand* Friends?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr takes his hand with her own. "Okay. Just promise you'll think from now on. A girl's heart is easily broken."
<Kit> 6Chii kneels and whispers to Aya essentially the last few days, leaving out violence and swearing. She doesn't channnnge the story, but retells it like some sad PG-13 redub on the holovid.
<Marcus`> Yeah. *he frowns* I think i've got quite a bit of apologizing to do.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Oh, I see. 6* She cups her hands together behind her. "Is it true you love Aunt Cheryl?"
<Kit> 6Chii gulps, her cheeks reddening. 1"Oh come on now..."
<DeathStar> <Aya> I'm only asking because that's what Daddy says. And most of my friends are lesbians, too
<Kit> 6Chii facepalms.
<Kit> <Chii> Wh-What's 'lesbian' have to do with anything?
<DeathStar> <Aya> Oh, I'm sorry. I'm writing a research paper on lesbians and how there are more lesbians compared to heterosexual peoples now. And since Dad said you loved Aunt Cheryl, I was curious if I had another example for my paper.
<Marcus`> So Zeph, you're of age now, how come you aren't here on the team, fighting evil and all that with us?
<Kit> 6Chii tilts her head. 1"I... don't think I'm a good example."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr considers. "I want to be more like Mom, but I think my place is with the others. I feel like I need to be there."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Especially considering we still have to face Legion when he's born
<DeathStar> <Aya> Oh, so you don't love Aunt Cheryl?
<Kit> 6Megumi leaves Zephyr with a page saying dinner will be ready on time, her grading finally done.
<Marcus`> Well with people like Xanatos and Chad, you've got your work cut out for you. *he slides a smile onto his face*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at her page, smiling, then messages back with a "K. :-)"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks back up. "Poor Xanatos..." 6* She notes.
* Marcus` arches a brow. "Poor Xanatos?"
<Kit> <Chii> Yeah, I do, but... as far as sex-- I'd sleep with you, if you were older. I... I d-don't think that applies to most people. I don't even have a preference for girls, it ended up that way.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya turns a shade of red. "I-I-..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Xanatos is dying. 6* She notes seriously.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin arrives at a little Italian place that serves brunch. He gets out, opening the door for Freyja
<Marcus`> Seriously? *he frowns* That guy can't catch a break.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods.
<Marcus`> Well, now my joke just seems cruel. *he shakes his head*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr puts her hands in her pockets of the coat. "I feel sorry for him. Erevis dying, and rejecting his love. Learning he's a clone and not the real Xanatos. And that he's now dying."
<Kit> 6Freyja steps out and tilts her head at the choice, then giggles, turning to accompany him.
<Kit> 6Chii pats Aya's head. 1"Don't worry about it."
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin moves in, where the waiters greet him by name. They take him to his favorite table, with a fabulous view of some of the plants that resturant has. He takes a seat, getting a menu
<DeathStar> 6* Aya still looks crimson. "Um..th-that's very nice of y-you to say. But I-I'm straight. I think. I guess. I don't know. Aunt Cheryl's in my room."
<Marcus`> What is he doing, he isn't freaking out and taking out his rage on everyone else, is he?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shakes her head. "He's been offering money to people. He's paying for Aya to go to college." 6* Her tone sounds endearing. Clearly, the route to Zephyr's heart is to be kind to Aya.
<Marcus`> I guess he's trying to make up for all the things he did, or the real him did.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Maybe so. But he's made Aya very happy, and for that, I can't thank him enough
<Marcus`> You know, technically that money came from his book. And since I bought a copy, i'm helping pay for Aya's college too. *he smiles*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes him.
<Marcus`> Ok, I got a pirated copy. *he sighs, hanging his head*
<Kit> 6Freyja takes a seat, observing this atmosphere, then peers at the menu.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr crosses her arms. "So you denied my little Aya 7.99 credits?"
<Marcus`> I really can't win. Can I?
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin glances it over as well. A band is playing violins, a slow, sad melody. The waiter comes over and sets down some bread. Paladin glances up, ordering pasta and sauce, as well as a salad.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr grins like a kid. "Nah."
<Kit> 6Chii peers at her, blinking. 1"I.. I didn't say you were into women, I was just saying I... I would. Apparently I'm messed up, but I like to use it to show affection. H-Hrmph.." 6She gazes away, scratching at her cheek. 1"You're letting me in?"
<DeathStar> 6* Aya nods, then thinks. "Oh. Well, instead of saying that to show affection, you should say, 'I like you a lot'."
* Marcus` gives a slight shrug. "Guess i'll have to be keeping that in mind." He rubs the back of his neck. "We'll have to get together and do stuff, it'll be nice to hang out with you again."
<Kit> <Chii> What's wrong with both?
<DeathStar> 6* Aya considers, peering at her. "Um, well, saying you would have sex with means you'd like to be very intimate with me. It, uh, seems like you want to take our relationship to a deeper level. A, uh, one on one level. That's how I take it, at least. Like Megumi and Erevis, for example. They only love each other, and they're only intimate with each other. They don't tell anyone else they'd have sex with them.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods. "If you want to hang out with a little kid like me." 6* She grins
<Kit> <Chii> I'm not an elf or a wannabe goddess.

<DeathStar> <Aya> Well, no...
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks down, ashamed now
<Marcus`> Aw Zeph, i'm pretty sure you're probably more mature than I am. Who knows, maybe you can help me work on that. *he laughs* Or maybe if you're not, we can be two immature grown-ups, taking over the swings at the playground.
<DeathStar> 6* The waiter peers at Freyja, taking down Paladin's "usual" order.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Heh. I'm sure Billy would like to join us if we did that.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> 'sides, I'm not really a grown up. 6* She eyes her 17 year old body.
<Marcus`> You're physically older than when we first met. And I thought you were a grown up then.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr scuffs the ground with her foot, and mumbles her real age.
* Marcus` cups a hand around his ear. "What's that?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I just turned 15. 6* She frowns.
<Kit> <Freyja> I wouldn't mind some manicotti.
<DeathStar> 6* The waiter nods, jotting it down
<Marcus`> Seriously? Wait, when?
<Kit> <Freyja> Blackberry schnapps, please. Hee.
<Kit> 6Chii pats Aya again, twitching and looking guilty. 1"S-Said don't worry about it. Besides, take any lessons from me and people'll start hating and shunning you and your dad'll find a way to shoot me.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr crosses her arms. "You realize how old Cheryl is, too, don't you?" 6* She states blandly.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya pauses. "I wouldn't let him. Aunt Cheryl would probably hurt him, too."
<Marcus`> Uh...no.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr leans forward. "Her body might forever be at 24, but she turns 16 in a couple of months."
<DeathStar> 6* The waiter smiles. "Of course, madame."
* Marcus` drops his mouth open. "I've never thought about it that way." He pauses. "That doesn't help the pedophile rep that I have going, either." He sighs.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I doubt anyone thinks of it that way. Only us Dragoons really keep track of our real ages.
<DeathStar> 6* The waiter moves off
<Kit> 6Chii blinks at Aya, her hand freezing.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya helps Chii inside and closes the door after her, locking it
<Kit> 6Chii glances back at the locked door and rubs her head. Then peers around the Chad Cave.
<DeathStar> 6* It's all even and clean. Aya points at her room. It has a cat poster on it. "That's my room." 6* She cups her hands together, then looks at Chii. "What's it like to kiss?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Still, we're kids at heart. All of us.
* Marcus` nods his head. "Well i'm still a kid at heart too, so I guess we're in the same boat."
<DeathStar> 6* The waiter returns with the drinks, and the food, setting them down. Paladin sips his tea
<DeathStar> <Paladin> I'm sorry if I'm a bit quiet. I'm not exactly sure what to talk about.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr smiles. "Yeah, I guess. You cradle robber."
* Marcus` hangs his head. "You said you didn't think of it that way."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I said most people don't.
<Marcus`> Well gee, thanks.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It's okay. Megumi's a cradle robber, too.
<Marcus`> Oh yeah, Erevis is only like 5 years old or something.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods.
<Marcus`> Well, was. *he pauses* Or is. I don't really know how that works.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods again, a bit melancholy, thinking of Erevis and her mom
* Marcus` frowns, and pats Zephyr's shoulder. "Sorry."
<DeathStar> 6* She nods, smiling. "Thanks."
<Kit> 6Chii moves for the cat-warded room, then freezes and gazes at Aya. 1"Wh-what? Why?"
* Marcus` glances down at the time. "Well i've got to go to gear training, and pilot training soon. But i'll get in touch with you, we can hang out, alright?
<DeathStar> <Aya> I was curious. Since, you know, it sounds gross. Sharing spit. And germs. 6* She looks queazy.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods. "Okay."
* Marcus` gives her a slight salute, smiling, then turns to walk off.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr puts her hands into her trench coat and moves off to go into the snow covered world.
<Kit> <Chii> That grosses you out, yet you're doing a paper on sex?
<DeathStar> <Aya> I'm not actually having sex. And sex sounds just as disgusting. Sperm going inside a woman; sweat mixing. 6* She looks ill now.
<Kit> <Chii> Well, there's no semen in lesbian sex." 6Headtilts. 1"But still..."
<Kit> <Chii> When you boil it down to that, you do make it sound rather blah.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya nods. "I don't see the appeal..."
<Kit> <Chii> You've never felt it.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya frowns. "I'm sorry, I'm holding you up from talking to Aunt Cheryl. And...I don't feel good now." 6* She starts counting numbers.
<DeathStar> 6* She moves to the couch
* Marcus` is now known as Xan|Gone
<Kit> 6Chii gazes over her shoulder at Aya. 1"... It's ...The emotional part is more important. Then there's the fact that you should be able to trust them enough that something so trivial shouldn't matter."
<Kit> <Chii> Beyond that, it's chemical. You're a smart girl, figure it out.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks at Chii
<Kit> 6Chii smiles softly, then moves on toward the door almost crying. Goddamn kids.
<DeathStar> <Aya> If she...16...is still asleep...256...you may need to go inside and wake her. 65536. She sleeps heavy.
<Kit> <Chii> Yeah... I know..
<Kit> 6Chii knocks quietly, then opens the door.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is laying on the bed, almost fetally, snoring. She's nude except for her underwear, and her face has several shades of blue and black. The scar on her forehead is visible with how her hair has parted. The tattoos on her chest are intricate in design and detail, moving along her chest and stomach, moving about her body's length, to her arms and down to her legs.

<DeathStar> -RESUMATION-
<DeathStar> Location: Chad's Apartment of Even Pains
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl is laying on the bed, almost fetally, snoring. She's nude except for her underwear, and her face has several shades of blue and black. The scar on her forehead is visible with how her hair has parted. The tattoos on her chest are intricate in design and detail, moving along her chest and stomach, moving about her body's length, to her arms and down to her legs.
<Amaterasu> 6Chii pauses upon seeing her, then moves over and falls down onto her knees, slumping beside the bed, studying the markings on her body.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts and rolls onto her back completely, sprawled out on the bed. She resumes snoring
<Amaterasu> 6Chii looks back, peering through the doorway.
<Amaterasu> 6Then gets up and moves to it, gazing into the hall.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya's in the living room, sitting on the couch. Chilling
<DeathStar> 6* No one's there. The tattoos seem to be lines that swirl about her body, sometimes in circular patterns. They move along all parts of her body and chest. There doesn't appear to be any real meaning that one such as Chii could decipher from them.
<Amaterasu> 6Chii shuts the door slowly, then creeps back over toward Cheryl. Twitching at the lack of meaning in the patterns. Maybe Freyja would discern more through divining. She shrugs.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snores obliviously
<Amaterasu> 6Chii rests her elbows on the bed, propping her head up, feeling too guilty to wake her.
<DeathStar> 6* Time passes.
<Chad`Winters> 6The sound of a door opening then closing can be heard and then footsteps in the hallway
<Amaterasu> 6Chii peers toward Aya's door boredly and unconcerned-- then remembers what was discussed with Aya and jerks slightly. 1"Oh shit..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stops snoring.
<Amaterasu> 6Chii doesn't notice initially, then slowly peers toward Cheryl
<DeathStar> 6* Rubbing her face, Cheryl opens her eyes, peering about the room. She then eyes Chii.
<Amaterasu> 6Chii's face contorts strangely.
<Amaterasu> <Chii> ...Uh, ohayou.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl blinks once, then squints, narrowing her eyes. "Chii?" 6* She says, then eyes her chest, pulling the sheets over her. "The hell you doing here?"
<Amaterasu> 6Chii sits back a bit, rubbing her neck. 1"Wouldn't it be a bit more strange if I weren't?"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> The fuck? No.
<Amaterasu> 6Chii crosses her arms, frowning. 1"Hrmph... You're here."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... You need something?
<Amaterasu> <Chii> Maybe.
* Chad`Winters is now known as Chad-Eating
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah, well?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her
<Amaterasu> <Chii> To know why you... um..
<Amaterasu> 6Chii rubs near one of her ears and glances away.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I what?
<Amaterasu> <Chii> You seemed hurt. Or at least, felt like that.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eh? What the hell are you talking about?
<Amaterasu> <Chii> The other night.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eh, what about it?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shifts in the bed
<Amaterasu> <Chii> Oh..
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her.
<Amaterasu> <Chii> You're... you don't want to talk about it." 6She lies her head against the bed.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> There's nothing to talk about.
<Amaterasu> <Chii> Mmhmm.." 6Sounds unconvinced.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets annoyed.
<Amaterasu> <Chii> Did I ...make you angry again?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No. You're just annoying the hell out of me.
<Amaterasu> <Chii> I mean before.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eh? When?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes Chii
<Amaterasu> <Chii> Before. When I left.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> At the base?
<Amaterasu> 6Chii nods slowly, tracing her finger along the edge of the bed.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits there on the bed. "It pisses me off how you attacked Wolf. And the fact you melted that car."
<Amaterasu> <Chii> Why? You care about them?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sneers. "Because the fact is you did it because of me."
<Amaterasu> <Chii> Mm, I ruined the tires on that truck for you. ...I wouldn't take full-credit for Wolf.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah? Then why'd you do it?
<Amaterasu> <Chii> ..She was just transferred. She doesn't understand any of the circumstances, yet because there's a problem she's willing to actually kill one of her own unit? Fuck her.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> She made the right call.
<Amaterasu> <Chii> She did not.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sneers more. "You're just blinded."
<Amaterasu> <Chii> By what?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't know. Whatever you think you feel
<Amaterasu> <Chii> If clarity means killing without consequence, then I'd rather be blind.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And if I killed all of you?
<Amaterasu> <Chii> That won't happen.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah? How are you so sure?
<Amaterasu> <Chii> Because I won't let it happen.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh, so you'd kill me?
<Amaterasu> <Chii> No.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then I'd like to know how'd you stop me
<Amaterasu> <Chii> However I have to.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl scoffs.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And what about the truck incident, then?
<Amaterasu> <Chii> Eh... never said that wasn't...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm asking why. What the fuck was that about?
<Amaterasu> <Chii> ..." 6Rubs behind her ear. 1"I thought you might pull a Marcus again."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares at her. "So you think I'm a whore."
<Amaterasu> <Chii> No." 6Scowls.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> No, it's fine. I get it.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances away.
<Amaterasu> <Chii> No. You don't.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I mean, yeah, maybe I'll go bang any guy I meet. It's what I do, right?
<Amaterasu> <Chii> I said pull a Marcus, not an Angela.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eh. I am whore. 6* She shrugs, chuckling. "I guess I can see your line of thought."
<Amaterasu> 6Chii buries her head in the side of the bed. 1"Shut up!"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances at the ceiling. "I guess I can't be angry at you for the car, then."
<Amaterasu> 6Chii leans up, snarling. 1"Be angry all you like! Just quit being stupid!"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Why? It's true. I am a whore.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl keeps eyeing the ceiling, apparantly no longer angry at Chii for attacking the truck.
<Amaterasu> <Chii> You do whatever it takes to keep people away! Away from you! From you, the one inside! The one you can't show to anyone!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances at her, her expression blank.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What?
<Amaterasu> 6Chii strikes the edge of the bed, bouncing it a little. 1"What do you think it is? A weakness? Garbage that didn't get cleaned up? I don't care how indulgent or sinful you are! It's a part of you, whether you like it or not! Whether you grasp what it means! I don't even understand what's going on with me most of the time, but I can't ignore it!"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Heh. So you're saying I should accept I'm a whore? You certainly don't seem to like the idea.
<Amaterasu> <Chii> Your feelings goddamnit!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl considers. "Well, if I'm suppose to accept that I'm a whore, I guess I could let Marcus know."
<Amaterasu> 6Chii clenches her hands tightly, grinding her teeth.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl seems oblivious
<Amaterasu> <Chii> ..." 6She sighs gently, losing her growing tension.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her again now.
<Amaterasu> <Chii> Hrmph.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Anything else you wanted?
<Amaterasu> <Chii> Quit it.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Quit what?
<Amaterasu> <Chii> Quit just waving me off like that.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Nothing personal, but I feel like being alone
<Amaterasu> 6Chii sighs slowly.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the bed. Her mood is melancholy.
<Amaterasu> <Chii> ...Alright.
<Amaterasu> 6Chii leans onto the bed with her weight and uses it to stand, moving for the door.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She grips the sheets, her mood still down.
<Amaterasu> <Chii> I'll be outside.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... ... Yeah.
<Amaterasu> 6Chii opens the door and moves into the hall, closing it behind her-- leaning against it.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits there in the bed, letting the sheet go, and rubs her face. Her dark thoughts flood out toward herself.
<DeathStar> 6* Burying her face into her hands, Cheryl self-loathes.
<Amaterasu> 6Chii moves back out of the hall to the living room, sighing. She has a pained wince.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya sits there, reading a book.
<Amaterasu> <Chii> ...Can I ... stay awhile?
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks up, frowning. "Uh, if you're not going to be in the room with Aunt Cheryl, I don't think you actually can. Dad's funny like that."
<Amaterasu> <Chii> ...'Kay.
<Amaterasu> 6Chii makes her way toward the front door.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks guilty. "Are you really going to go?"
<Amaterasu> <Chii> I can't stay.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya nods once. "I just thought you'd stay with her longer."
<Amaterasu> <Chii> She doesn't want me to.
<Amaterasu> <Chii> And since I can't stay here... I have to go.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Um, Dad says that Aunt Cheryl often says what she doesn't mean
* Chad-Eating is now known as Chad`Winters
<Amaterasu> <Chii> ...Uh-huh. But that's not for me to decide.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya nods, ducking her head down again. "Kay."
* Chad`Winters steps out of the hall-way, judging by his movements, he's still in pain from his royal ass-kicking.

<DeathStar> RESUMATION
<DeathStar> 6* Chad moves down the hallway toward Chii. Aya peers up. "Hi Daddy."
<Chad`Winters> Hey princess. 6He smiles at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya smiles, then motions at Chii. "Is it okay if Chii hangs out with us?"
* Chad`Winters eyes Chii and moves into the kitchen, and grabs a bottle of water. He steps back out to the table and grabs his bottle of pain pills. 1"Us?"
<DeathStar> <Aya> Yeah, while she waits for Aunt Cheryl to leave the room
* Chad`Winters eyes Aya, getting that wistful smirk of his when he realizes something that's interesting. He pulls out two pills and tosses them back, downing them with some water.
* Amaterasu is now known as Fayth
<DeathStar> 6* Aya blinks, glancing at Chad, then Chii
<Fayth> 6Chii seems to be twitching somewhat, but looks to be mostly at a loss. She keeps glancing to Aya, devoid of her usual irritation and flambouyant anger.
* Chad`Winters studies Chii's consistent glances at Aya. 1"My daughters' not your rebound."
<Fayth> <Chii> My what?
<Fayth> 6Chii stares blankly at Chad.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya goes red.
<Fayth> 6Chii rubs her head and tilts her head, studying Aya. 1"Am I... missing something?"
* Chad`Winters sets the pail pill bottle down on the table again. He takes another drink of his water.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Dad's being mean
<Chad`Winters> She should be glad I didn't pull a gun out. 6He glances at the wall, eyeing the time.
<Fayth> <Chii> ...Oh." 6Disappointed tone.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Besides, Dad, if I wanted to be her rebound girl, you wouldn't shoot her.
<Chad`Winters> Yes I would.
<Fayth> <Chii> What the hell is a 'rebound girl?'
<DeathStar> <Aya> I'd hateuforever
<DeathStar> 6* Aya crosses her arms, trying to look like Zephyr
<Fayth> <Chii> ..." 6Eyes Aya. Then Chad, almost looking confused.
<Chad`Winters> No you wouldn't. 6He pulls a chair back and sits down in it slowly.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Yeah I would! If you shot someone I was with.
<Chad`Winters> You're a minor, it's well within my rights as a father to shoot her.
<DeathStar> <Aya> I'm 16. I can date whoever I want to date.
<Chad`Winters> Not if they're older than 18.
<Fayth> <Chii> H-Hey! I'm not going to date Aya. The hell?
<DeathStar> 6* Aya pauses, then looks red again.
<Chad`Winters> Damn right you're not. 6He eyes Chii.
<Fayth> 6Chii gives an utterly lost look to Chad.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Besides. She's here because of Aunt Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya glances back down at her book
<Chad`Winters> I figured that much.
<DeathStar> <Aya> You're mean, Daddy. So can she stay?
* Chad`Winters glances up at the time again then looks at Aya. 1"There's no need. Cheryl's not here."
<DeathStar> <Aya> Huh?
<DeathStar> 6* Aya blinks
* Chad`Winters leans back in his chair, wincing slightly. 1"She went out the window. I can only that contrary to belief, love doesn't always conquer all."
<Fayth> <Chii> Eh, she..?
<Fayth> 6Chii peers upward. She didn't notice the emotional void in her confusion.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya peers down. "Oh. Aunt Cheryl's so... stubborn."
<Fayth> <Chii> K-Kuso!" 6She drops, sitting near the entry propped on her hands, legs crossed. Tears flood her eyes.
<Chad`Winters> Oh god. You're not going to cry.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya pauses, panicking. "M-Miss Chii?"
<Fayth> 6Chii snaps. 1"No, I'm not!"
<Fayth> <Chii> Sh-Shut up!" 6Her eyes quiver, watering.
<Chad`Winters> Good, tear stains are hard to get out.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya pauses, then looks at Chad, scowling. "God, you're so mean, Daddy!"
<Fayth> <Chii> H-Huh..? Tear stains out of... what?
<DeathStar> 6* Aya moves to Chii, then gives her an awkward hug
* Chad`Winters sighs, pinching the bridge of his nose.
<Fayth> <Chii> O-Oh hell no! I-I'm not s-staining my f-face 'cause of some stupid--... feeling.
<DeathStar> <Aya> It's okay to cry.
<Fayth> 6Chii struggles to keep from rubbing her eyes, fighting back the tears in an awkward display of self-control.
<Fayth> <Chii> Hrmph>
<Chad`Winters> The more time you waste sitting and crying here, only gives Cheryl a bigger distance between here and her.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Maybe if you let Cheryl know how much you cared, she'd respond. I know when I see someone crying, I feel for them.
<Fayth> <Chii> ..." 6Quivers after looking to Aya, then peers at Chad. 1"I don't know where she's going."
<Chad`Winters> Well it's Cheryl. She's not that complicated.
<Chad`Winters> Ok she's complicated, but it's normally easy to figure out where she'd go from here.
<Fayth> 6Chii squints, victory over tears. 1"...I don't think she'd head back to the bar so quickly..."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya gives Chii a comforting hug still
<Chad`Winters> Well you can't stay here forever.
* Jackieness has quit IRC (Killed (NickServ (GHOST command used by Jackieness`)))
* Jackieness has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
<DeathStar> <Aya> Maybe she went home?
<Fayth> <Chii> ...Possible. I can't go there anymore, though.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Oh. ... Sorry.
<Chad`Winters> Why? You're leg's broken?
<Fayth> <Chii> I'm not allowed on the base.
<Chad`Winters> Pride cometh before the fall. 6He grabs his water, eyeing the pain pills.
<Fayth> <Chii> What...?
<Chad`Winters> You too prideful to get your job back?
<Chad`Winters> Or don't you care about Cheryl as much as you claim
<Fayth> <Chii> ...
<Fayth> 6Chii scowls, crossing her arms and turning her head away from Chad.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya sits by Chii, looking at her. She gives her shoulder a squeeze
<Fayth> 6Chii shifts her head back, making a grimace as she peers at Aya. 1"..T-Tch."
<Chad`Winters> I'm sure General Paladin's an understanding guy.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya lets go, thinking Chii didn't like that
<Fayth> <Chii> As if. He's an unfeeling prick.
<DeathStar> <Aya> ... 6* She peers at the floor.
<Chad`Winters> He's a man who thinks about his mission and the safety of his men first.
<Fayth> <Chii> Yeah, as resources, not as people with their own emotions and attachments. He invited someone like that woman. It's unforgiveable.
<DeathStar> <Aya> ...
<DeathStar> 6* There's a knock on the door and a key is used to open it. Zephyr walks in with food.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hey, I brought you some things
<Fayth> 6Chii blinks. 1"...Shorty?"
<Chad`Winters> And you're a loose cannon. 6He looks at Zephyr then at Chii. 1"She has a name you know."
<Fayth> <Chii> ...Zephyr. Right.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers at Chii, then sticks out her tongue. "Oh look, it's the Chii-a-pad."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers at Chii, then sticks out her tongue. "Oh look, it's the Chia pets."
<Fayth> 6Chii glowers, her tail bristling, then peers toward Aya and glances at the floor in front of Zephyr. 1"Sumimasen. I shouldn't call you names."
* Chad`Winters reaches over for the pill bottle and opens it.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya smiles at Zephyr, and she smiles back. She moves over and sets the food back, then eyes how many pills Chad has taken, then looks at Chii
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You have unusual guests, Chad
<Chad`Winters> I didn't invite her in. 6He pulls out two pills, it seems this'll put him two ahead for the day.
<DeathStar> <Aya> I did. She came to see Aunt Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Ohhhh.
<Fayth> 6Chii blushes slightly and keeps her eyes on the floor.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> That's sweet.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr moves over and pinches Chii's cheek
<Chad`Winters> I thought I taught Aya better than to let homeless people into my house.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Dad!
* Chad`Winters tosses the two pills back and drinks some water.
<Fayth> 6Chii loses the colour and sulks further.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Why are you sulking?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sits on Chii's lap
<DeathStar> 6* Aya stares at Zephyr, then at Chad
<Fayth> 6Chii jumps slightly, eyes widening at Zephyr. 1"Haa! The hell are you doing..!?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, if you're going to sulk, I figured I'd like a front row seat. I learned that from Cheryl
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr grins. "She did it to me once."
<Fayth> <Chii> ...did what?
<Chad`Winters> Language.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Sat on my lap and told me she wanted a front row seat to my sulking
<Fayth> 6Chii tilts her head at Zephyr, then looks upward, pondering.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Daad. She can say prick, but not hell?
<Chad`Winters> Aya. 6He looks at her, it's obvious to her he's not mad.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya pouts.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr grins at Chii.
<Fayth> <Chii> Hm, maybe because earlier you two were speaking of sexual things, so 'prick' was okay. Clearly he's not a religious person, so perhaps speaking of 'hell' is taboo.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You were speaking of sexual things? 6* She eyes Chad
<Chad`Winters> Just that Aya wouldn't be her rebound.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers at Chad, then at Chii
<Fayth> 6Chii shrugs.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So, why are you sulking, Chii-a-pet? And I doubt it's because you can't have Aya as your rebound girl
<DeathStar> 6* Aya crosses her arms, looking insulted
<Fayth> <Chii> No. I wouldn't need a rebound since I'm not exclusive in my feelings for sexual attention anyway. I figured that out from Katrina a while ago.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I see. 6* She considers that seriously.
<Fayth> <Chii> If Aya were not too young, I wouldn't require her to wait for some relationship to be over if she wanted to sleep with me. I'd be happy to allow her to experience something pleasant.
<Fayth> 6Chii shrugs again. 1"Cheryl's angry again. Very, very angry. I can feel it vividly when she's close."
* Chad`Winters eyes Chii then his pills then over at where he hides a gun
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hops off Chii's lap. "About Cheryl. I know you're friends with her, and you care about her a lot, but lets not do that sexual attention thing with her, kay?"
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks red in the face.
<Fayth> <Chii> Mh? We never have. She offered to once, but I could tell she didn't have her heart in it so I refused. Granted that meant she went and did it with Marcus and I got all pissy about it and set her off...
<DeathStar> 6* Aya's eyes widen
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I know. I just mean as a status quo thing.
<Fayth> <Chii> I would need to feel as though Cheryl wanted it before I'd do anything. Like with anyone else.
<Fayth> 6Chii shifts uncomfortably. 1"It's easy for me to tell when someone's lying to me. But when they're telling the truth... I can't always..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Mmm. Okay. Good. I just don't like the idea of you being so forward with her about sex.
<Chad`Winters> Someone care to explain to me why this conversations happening in my apartment?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm sorry, Chad, should I discuss our sister somewhere else?
<Fayth> <Chii> ...I don't want to be dishonest or fake with her.
<Chad`Winters> You know, when you put it that way. I'm creeped out.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> By what?
<Chad`Winters> Nothing. 6He looks down at the table, tracing lines.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> By the fact she's both our sister?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You dork, she's my half sister, and she's your half sister. 6* She rolls her eyes.
* Chad`Winters looks up. 1"Still made it sound creepy.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Ungh. Men
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr grabs Chii's arm and jerks her outside the apartment
<DeathStar> 6* Aya keeps staring, confused.
<Fayth> 6Chii blinks, gazing at Aya as she's dragged off impromptu.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr lets the door shut. "I get where you're coming from. You know, the whole Katrina thing. Having casual sex and all that. I'm just asking you to not do that with Cheryl."
* Chad`Winters let's out a sigh of relief. He looks at Aya now. 1"So what do you have planned for the day?"
<Fayth> <Chii> ..Do.. what with Cheryl?
<DeathStar> <Aya> Adding all this to my research paper about there being more lesbians than heterosexuals.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Flirting. Sexual opening and advances. Sex.
<Chad`Winters> I fear the human race is doomed.
<Fayth> <Chii> You're... forbidding me from sleeping with her?
<DeathStar> <Aya> Well, unless the heterosexual couples make babies, yes.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Do you know why? 6* She asks, adjusting her trench coat.
<Fayth> <Chii> If she wishes for it and honestly desires, I don't see why we can't..
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> And if you two did it, would you make her your only partner? No one else?
<Fayth> <Chii> ..I..." 6Looks downward. 1"I don't think like that. It's just an affection for me. I honestly don't know. If she told me she didn't want me to.. that'd be different."
* Chad`Winters smiles at her then sighs as he realizes that Cheryl was bleeding when she showed up.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> She wouldn't. But the fact is I've talked to Cheryl, and for her, sex means something deep. It scares her, because of the emotional connections and implications. She may put on a big show of toughness, and flirt with guys and girls, but when it comes down to it, she's insecure, and she really only opens up to those she feels like she can be with. Trust. She thought Warren might be the one. Either through guilt of what she did
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Or what not, she slept with him because she thought it would just be him and her. She's a traditional. Cheryl doesn't sleep around. It's why Marcus is such an abnormality to her behavior pattern.
<DeathStar> *traditionalist
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It's why I don't think casual sex with you is what she needs, either
<Fayth> 6Chii frowns slightly. 1"..I've never thought of it as 'casual...'"
<DeathStar> 6* Aya holds up a book she's reading, about lesbians. "This is very fascinating."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It's sorta what you make it out to be, Chii.
<Fayth> <Chii> Why does it seem that way?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Because you just told a 16 year old you'd sleep with her and you barely know her.
* Chad`Winters looks at Aya again. 1"I think you're going to give me grey hair."
<DeathStar> <Aya> All my friends are gay. I just feel like I should understand why
<Fayth> <Chii> It's true I haven't known her that long, but..." 6She peers upward, contemplating all the things she's felt each time she's met Aya, especially this morning.
<Chad`Winters> And what have you learned so far.
<DeathStar> <Aya> That it seems less gross than having sex with a man
<Chad`Winters> You shouldn't even be thinking about sex, period.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya pouts. "I'm not a kid anymore."
<DeathStar> <Aya> Besides, Zephyr had sex when she was like 12.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr crosses her arms.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I think your friendship with Cheryl is important. I'm just worried about her. I'm worried about what sleeping with Marcus has done to her psyche, and I don't want her further alienating who she is by just casually sleeping around.
* Chad`Winters winces slightly.
<Fayth> <Chii> ...Great." 6Twitches.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I don't mean to come off like a bitch, I'm just worried about her.
<Fayth> <Chii> I don't think of you as a bitch.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I just know, from what she told me of her time with Warren, it meant something to her. Something more than she'd ever admit to anyone else. Emotionally. It scared her. And the idea of her just jumping into bed with Marcus just because isn't like her, you know?
<Fayth> <Chii> I didn't like it either.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya pouts a bit, mumbling that she didn't want sex, but that she's old enough to make her own decisions
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr toes the ground. "I think it would be great if Cheryl could find the one, and settle down. But, she's difficult as hell."
<Fayth> <Chii> The one?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> A person she could settle down with.
<Fayth> <Chii> ...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Um, a person that means a lot to her. She loves them, and they love her. And they will be together forever. Husband and wife deal.
* Chad`Winters lets out a breath of air. 1"Sorry."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks at him. "Huh?"
<Fayth> <Chii> Husband... and wife...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, I'd say another woman would do the trick, but I don't think Cheryl swings that way
<Chad`Winters> Nevermind. 6He rubs the back of his neck, his body relaxed
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Granted, she's kissed girls before, but that was for money.
<Fayth> <Chii> ..For money?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah, she was dared like 6000 credits to kiss Alpha Hotaru. They split the credits.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya goes back to reading
<Fayth> <Chii> ..huh..
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... Yeah.
<Fayth> <Chii> According to Aya and Chad, she may have gone back to the base, though, and I... kind of quit.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I see. Well, you can get onto the base as a visitor, then, to see her
* Jackieness has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)
* Jackieness has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
<Fayth> <Chii> Yeah, but... Not thereafter. Eh...
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr rolls her eyes, grabs Chii's arms, and walks off, dragging her along.
<Fayth> <Chii> What are you d-doing now?" 6She staggers along, peering at the shorter girl.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Since Cheryl's in no shape to do it, I'll have to make you do what's necessary. I'm dragging you to HQ.
<Fayth> <Chii> What!?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yep
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr drags her outside
* Kit has left #taw
<Fayth> <Chii> ... Why are you... being so insistent?
<Fayth> 6Chii eventually walks under her own power.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I see; so you'd rather sulk and do nothing instead?
* Jackieness has left #taw
<Fayth> <Chii> No.. I just...
<Fayth> 6Chii frowns, falling silent rather than admitting the annoying fact.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You just what? 6* She keeps dragging her along, even with her walking
<Fayth> <Chii> ...I don't know what's in it for you." 6She mumbles. 1"...Helping me. Nothing good comes of it."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pinches Chii's cheek.
<Fayth> <Chii> Ow!" 6She glares.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I learned that from Cheryl, too
* Chad`Winters is now known as Chad-WorkSadFAce
<Fayth> <Chii> ...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> She did that to me whenever I emoed.
<Fayth> <Chii> Emo'd?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> 'Helping me. Noting good comes of it'. Downing on yourself. Nothing productive comes of that, Chii.
<Fayth> <Chii> ...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You have more self-esteem. If you don't have good self-esteem, and you can't accept help graciously when given, how you going to help others?
<Fayth> <Chii> ... ...Makes sense.." 6She mutters darkly.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pokes her. "Don't sound so dark."

<Fayth> <Chii> ... Uhm..
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> And give me a smile.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr gives a big smile.
<Fayth> 6Chii frowns. 1"Freyja smiles all the time."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh, forget her. If I did the opposite of everything Cheryl did, then I'd have nothing cool to do
<Fayth> <Chii> ...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> But fine. Don't smile for me. I don't care. 6* She sticks out her lower lip.
<Fayth> 6Chii peers at her blankly. Then forms an idea in her head while gazing off. She slowly starts to smile. Subtly, like someone shy.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers at her.
<Fayth> <Chii> ...What..?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You look cute.
<Fayth> 6Chii squints at Zephyr, then twitches a little. Her cheeks colour.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So, tell me. You like kids, right? What's the age limit in your mind to be a "kid"?
<Fayth> <Chii> Depends on how they feel..
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh. I was just curious if teens counted
<Fayth> <Chii> Counted?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> As kids.
<Fayth> <Chii> If they feel like that.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I was curious if I counted as a kid or an adult.
<Fayth> <Chii> I'm not sure.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sticks out her lip again. "So, would you sleep with me?"
<Fayth> <Chii> I don't know you very well..." 6She shifts nervously.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> But you don't know Aya, either. Interesting. I guess I'm not your type. 6* She notes
<Fayth> <Chii> She doesn't seem to have grown up, though...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So you like them young.
<Fayth> <Chii> Most of you are young to me.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hee hee.
<Fayth> <Chii> ...Huh?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr giggles. "Me and Cheryl are pretty young compared to someone like you. But you do act pretty young yourself."
<Fayth> <Chii> ...I have lots of knowledge and skills, but I don't have the life experience. You guys have 'lived' longer than me, even though I've lived longer.
<Fayth> 6Chii rubs her head, sighing. 1"I don't know anything about 'our' previous life, either."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I see. I get where you
<DeathStar> 're coming from, actually
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I didn't start getting more 'human' life experience until my time on PAX.
<Fayth> <Chii> .. Oh..?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stops outside the guard station. "I just turned 15, but for the most part, it's only been the last 6 or 7 years I've really blossomed."
<Fayth> <Chii> ...Zephyr. How dangerous are Dark ones?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... From our experiences with them, pretty dangerous
<Fayth> 6Chii gestures. 1"...I realize I've encountered them personally, but ...They're not something I can feel. A void except for killing intent."
<Fayth> <Chii> I'm becoming increasingly disturbed with how parallel my... quirks tend to be with them.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers at her. "You're nothing like them. Trust me."
<Fayth> <Chii> ...That's good to know.
<Fayth> 6Chii rubs her head again. 1"...What if I were sealing an exceptionally willed one, though?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Um. I'd get rid of it, then.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I heard Xevil managed to claw his way back as just a soul, after all. I wouldn't play with fire when it comes to someone with a lot of power and willpower.
<Fayth> <Chii> Xevil?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> A Tsivrixsh
<Fayth> <Chii> Hm.. I ate many of those, and they are quite irritating.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> He was not an ordinary one.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pops up to the guard. "Hi. I'm here to see Cheryl. Her sister, Zephyr. And this here is a friend, Chii."
<DeathStar> 6* The guard nods, and gets out the sign in check list, and tags. The other guard checks for weapons on the two
<Fayth> <Chii> Uh..
<Fayth> 6Chii is carrying two energy blades, two modified pistols, the monofilament wire and spiritual plasma tuner, various explosives, several smoke bombs, incendiary grenades, a few stun grenades, acid flasks, kunai, numerous poisonous substances...
<Fayth> <Chii> ..Z-Zephyr..
<DeathStar> 6* The guards stare in shock.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Um. Can she like...uh..leave her weapons with you?>
<DeathStar> 6* The guards eye Chii, then gather a large container for her stuff
<Fayth> 6Chii very, very reluctantly disarms herself. Her eyes dart rather quickly from place to place once she is. 1"..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr gets their IDs, and drags Chii inside
<Fayth> <Chii> ..Gh..
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr lets her go once inside. "There, mission accomplished, you're inside."
<Fayth> <Chii> Yeah...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Now what?
<Fayth> <Chii> ...It's easier said than done, you know.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hm. Should I hold your hand?
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin returns from brunch, moving through the hallway. He approaches Chii and Zephyr, like a Darth Vader
<Fayth> <Chii> ...Oh shit.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What?
<Fayth> <Chii> Paladin.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glances over right as Paladin arrives, peering down at the two. "Chii. I didn't expect to see you back at base so soon."
<Fayth> 6Chii twitches a little, peering toward Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nudges her to say something
<Fayth> <Chii> I was here yesterday, but I wasn't welcome.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Really? 6* He raises a brow
<Fayth> <Chii> Mh.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> I was unaware. Well, I hope you enjoy your stay here today
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin nods politely to both of them and moves for his office
<Fayth> 6Chii grinds her teeth.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin glances back. "Is everything doing well for you, Chii?"
<Fayth> <Chii> ...Better, I guess.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin nods. "Well. That's good. That you're doing better now." 6* He moves on
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nudges Chii
<Fayth> <Chii> ...Wh-what?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Are you really 'better'?
<Fayth> <Chii> ...Well, no. But it's not a lie, either.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah. Well, if you don't want to work here again, then you keep saying things like, "I'm better off now that I've quit'
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr wanders off to find someone to bother.
<Fayth> <Chii> That's not what I said nor what he asked...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Read between the lines! 6* She says as she moves down a hallway.
<Fayth> <Chii> ...
<DeathStar> 6* The hallway is quiet now.
<Fayth> 6Chii crosses her arms and peers upward. Then shakes her head and squints, trying to get a feel for who might be on the base grounds.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin. Cheryl.
<Fayth> Kind of... empty.
<Fayth> 6Chii rubs behind an ear, then walks down the hallway toward Cheryl's room.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's door of doom stands there
<Fayth> 6Chii gives it a gentle knock.
<DeathStar> 6* There's no immediate response. Though Cheryl is definitely in there, she might be out of hearing distance, or she's ignoring it
<Fayth> <Chii> ...Cheryl..?
<DeathStar> 6* The door eerily peers back
* Seraphna is now known as Sera|SleepingCabbit
<Fayth> 6Chii knocks again.
<DeathStar> 6* The door opens, and Cheryl eyes her, wearing a towel, having got out of the shower. "Chii...? The hell?" 6* She does a double take
<Fayth> <Chii> ... Yeah. Hello.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What are you doing here?
<Fayth> 6Chii peers upward. 1"..Visiting..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Oh. 6* She says dumbly.
<Fayth> <Chii> Will you run away again?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I--just felt like getting a shower.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl steps back, moving inside the room.
<Fayth> <Chii> ...I'll be waiting. Outside.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You can come in.
<Fayth> 6Chii eyes Cheryl unassured.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... What?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her
<Fayth> 6Chii moves to follow her inside.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs an outfit, a plain shirt and jeans, and her under garments as Chii comes inside.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So you followed me all this way. Why?
<Fayth> <Chii> I love you, so why wouldn't I?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns. "Right. Of course."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Sure you don't want to wisen up on that like Dias did? I'm not worth loving; he even pointed that out
<Fayth> <Chii> He... shouldn't have said that. He didn't mean it, nor is it true.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Hah.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs her shoulders, pulling the towel off and slipping on the clothing. "I guess whoring around turns some people off."
<Fayth> <Chii> He was regretting every syllable even before he said anything.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Right.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl plays with her long hair for a moment, then decides not to bother with it. She moves and sits on the bed.
<Fayth> <Chii> You don't have to believe me. I just wouldn't feel right taking advantage.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Taking advantage. Uh huh.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snorts at that.
<Fayth> <Chii> ...
<Fayth> 6Chii crosses her arms and peers away from Cheryl.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the wall.
<Fayth> 6Chii looks around, then moves and sits on the floor, leaning against the door
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She eyes Chii now.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl then snorts.
<Fayth> <Chii> Something needs to be said, Cheryl.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Then why are you sitting there so silently?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl lays on the bed now
<Fayth> <Chii> ...'Cause I don't know what it is.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Ah.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She eyes the ceiling. "Well, if you don't have anything to say..."
<Fayth> <Chii> ..Then I should go?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm going to get food. 6* She states, getting off the bed, and moving for the door.
<Fayth> <Chii> .. ...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You want to come, then come.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl reaches out to open the door
<Fayth> 6Chii blinks and rubs her forehead, then gets up quickly.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the doorpad, her hand not quite hitting it yet, as if debating saying something
* Fayth is now known as Kit
<Kit> 6Chii inclines her head a bit, staring at Cheryl's hand.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tell me something. Why do you think you love me so much?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her, tilting her head toward Chii
<Kit> <Chii> I'm not going to be able to put it to plain words. Even if I wanted to, to simplify it so much would mean that I understood it far better than I do.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ..
<Kit> <Chii> Everything about it is peculiar in its own way.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Don't suppose I can beat it out of you
<Kit> <Chii> Things that I admire, things that are attactive. Finding things that would normally bother you don't. Finding things that you'd normally not care about taking up all your attention.
<Kit> <Chii> Wanting to be noticed.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She blinks a few times.
<Kit> <Chii> There are a lot of things, Cheryl. Many I don't understand at all, or could ever hope to. In the end there's a simple answer that's worked for me thus far.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eh? What's that?
<Kit> <Chii> As painful as it is to remain close, it hurts far more to be apart.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl squints at her. "I don't get you. Like I've done anything for you to want that. I imagine even Freyja's nicer than me."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl frowns a bit
<Kit> <Chii> No one said it had to make sense...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'd like it to make sense, goddammit
<Kit> <Chii> If I could, I would explain it better. ...Sorry..
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grinds her teeth. "And how am I suppose to take 'I love you', anyway? Seriously? How am I suppose to act?"
<Kit> <Chii> It's not a matter of 'supposed to' or 'not supposed to.'
<Kit> 6Chii glances downward. 1"You just go with how you feel at the time. There's no right or wrong."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sneers. "That doesn't even make sense." 6* She taps the door open button, annoyed.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I don't even know how this friendship is suppose to work if you love me.
<Kit> <Chii> You worry too much, Cherry.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... 6* She gets angrier
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine. Tch. What the fuck ever.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves out into the hallway.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> But if I decide to fuck every person on the base, I better not hear an ever living peep out of your ass.
* Kit follows her out. 1"Why would you decide to do that?"
<Kit> NRP: Chii >_>
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You know us whores.
<Kit> <Chii> But you're not.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. If you really believed that, you wouldn't have melted those tires.
<Kit> <Chii> I melted the tires because I was ticked off. I get like that.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You said it yourself. You thought I was going to fuck 'em like I did Marcus
<Kit> <Chii> Yeah. I'll admit I thought that. 'Cause I was scared.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Mmmmmhm.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl doesn't sound like she believes it. Her theory sounds better to her
<Kit> <Chii> I was scared you were about to reject me like you did Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her. "What I feel about Dias is because of what type of person he is."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Besides. You're the one who hates drinking now. It's why I was going with them
<Kit> <Chii> It's not that I hate drinking...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Well. I don't like feeling you're judging me
<Kit> <Chii> I stopped because it was affecting me.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her, somehow still in front of her room
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So you saying you don't judge me?
<Kit> <Chii> At all?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tch.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What do you judge me on, then?
<Kit> <Chii> Your fashion sense, of course.
<Kit> 6Chii attempts to keep a straight face.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl narrows her eyes.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Just because I don't dress like a freakish doll
<Kit> 6Chii cracks and starts snickering.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... What's so funny? 6* She barks.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl grabs Chii's shirt, shaking it. "I mean, look at you half the time."
<Kit> <Chii> Heheh, what about me?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Your fashion sense is what should be judged
<Kit> <Chii> Maybe. I'll let you in on a little secret, though
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What's that?
<Kit> "I don't... care..." 6Chii smiles warmly, a more pronounced one rather than the shy one to Zephyr.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. You wouldn't. I'll just kick Freyja's ass for teaching you to wear retarded outfits
<Kit> <Chii> I don't know about her, but I could make anything cute.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You wish
<Kit> <Chii> Eh, I have a witness!
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Who? 6* She eyes her
<Kit> 6Chii leans over, grinning. 1"Zephyr."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares. "Zephyr's just a baby. She doesn't know any better."
<Kit> <Chii> Is she now?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah.
<Kit> <Chii> Hee hee.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... What?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her dangerously
<Kit> <Chii> You're cute when you're acting like the older sister.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *sneers* I am the older sister.
<Kit> <Chii> Yep!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl just sneers more. "Well, at least one of us is cute. You ugly fox."
<Kit> <Chii> It's very moe.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl flicks one of Chii's ears in annoyance
<Kit> 6Chii winces and pauses.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl smirks in victory
<Kit> <Chii> You ...really think I'm ugly..?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her. "Wait. What?"
<Kit> <Chii> It's the fifth time you said so... Am.. I actually disdainful-looking to you?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl crosses her arms. "I'm just being a bitch"
<Kit> <Chii> ...O-okay.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Though you might look better without the ears.
<Kit> 6Chii crosses her arms stubbornly. 1"Hrmph, my ears are moe and my tail is the softest thing outside chinese silk."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs. "Eh. I'm just saying. But if you don't care what I think, that's fine."
* Chad-WorkSadFAce is now known as Chad`Winters
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes her tail, tugging it once
<Kit> 6Chii jerks from both.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ..... ..... 6* She pauses, as if considering something suddenly
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> .... .... what do you think of my looks, anyway?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her, as if just now thinking Chii might find her attractive.
<Kit> <Chii> I think if it occured to you to ever want to look nice for someone, you'd have far, far more trouble with stalkers than you do now.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> So you're saying I don't look good.
<Kit> <Chii> Um...
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs
<Kit> <Chii> I'm saying you look beautiful, but if you tried, you'd be utterly gorgeous.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her, pausing once. "Tch."
<Kit> <Chii> For me, half of my charm is the utterly rough way I'm done up. Hrmph.
<Kit> <Chii> Wouldn't work for me... In those dresses and such I just look plain.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Eh. You look alright for a woman.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I mean, I noticed that guard seems to oogle yo
<Kit> <Chii> ...He's weird..
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> He probably loves you.
<Kit> <Chii> Uh... I doubt it.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Why?
<Kit> 6Chii shrugs. 1"He definitely has an infatuation.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. Hmmm. You know. You're weird. I doubt you love me. I think you have an infatuation.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> This sounds eerily familiar.
<Kit> <Chii> Haa haa haa.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyeballs her.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I think I should get to know the guard better
<Kit> <Chii> What for?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> If he does love you, I feel as your friend, I should give him tips to win your heart.
<Kit> <Chii> Very funny.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm serious
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks at her, a serious expression
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'll tell him, Chii likes it when you stroke her ears like so. 6* She strokes Chii's right ear. "And if you really want to turn her on, grope her." 6* She grabs Chii's right breast and twists.
* Chad`Winters is now known as Chad`Sleep
<Kit> 6Chii shifts back, moving her arms over her chest. 1"Nnh! Y-You wouldn't..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I would.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> And I'd tell him you love kisses. At all hours.
<Kit> 6Chii gulps. 1"Th-That's not fair!"
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I think I'll go find him right now. I think I saw him in the rec room earlier
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl turns to move off
<Kit> 6Chii stomps. 1"Ch-Cheryl!"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl keeps moving. Apparantly that's not enough to stop this Alpha
<Kit> 6Chii growls and runs after her
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl walks along, an evil smile on her face
<Kit> <Chii> Cheryl! Stop!
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah? Make me.
<Kit> 6Chii leaps at Cheryl from behind
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stumbles as Chii lands on her from behind. She takes a few steps forward, then begins to back toward a wall, pressing Chii against it without doing real damage
<Kit> <Chii> U-urgh..! S-Said stop, damn it!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sneers. "That your best?"
<Kit> 6Chii hrmphs and slips her hands under Cheryl's arms, locking her fingers up and around Cheryl's neck. Her legs wrap around and lock at the ankles, tightening in a suffocating grip
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl takes a step forward
<Kit> 6Chii yanks her legs even tighter
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl reaches up with her hands now, aiming to try to break Chii's death grip
<Kit> 6Chii lifts her elbows, obstructing Cheryl from lowering her own arms enough to reach
<DeathStar> <Chery> Tccch. 6* She makes a sound of frustration. Apparantly she doesn't want to ram Chii into the wall, or can't. Falling to one knee, Cheryl shakes her body furiously
<Kit> 6Chii maintains the very grips she's using in offensive methods to hold on. 1"Give?! I still have another annoying one to talk to!"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leans her head back, as if to head butt, without actually headbutting
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Heheheh.
<Kit> <Chii> Wh-What are you laughing about..!?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl keeps snickering, as best she can with Chii's fingers at her throat.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl keeps snickering. "That your best?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl drops to the floor in a roll, which means rolling over Chii
<Kit> <Chii> Hurk!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl then rolls against so her back is on the floor, which means Chii is under her

<DeathStar> -RESUMATION-
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl then rolls against so her back is on the floor, which means Chii is under her
<Kit> <Chii> Hnngh!" 6she continues to squeeze her in an effort to sap the energy out of Cheryl, but after a while, lets go with both her hands and her legs, heaving. 1"G-Get off!"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sits up finally, sneering.
<Kit> 6Chii scrambles out from under her and sits up on her hands and knees, huffing. 1"O-Okami you..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> If you can't take my weight, I really wonder how you can take any weight pressed down on you. Especially considering some acts require it
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sneers more, working her arms
<Kit> <Chii> Haa haa, very funny.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl leans on the wall, still sitting
<Kit> 6Chii peers over at her, eyes narrowed in fading irritance.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You still haven't stopped me. I'm about to stand up again
<Kit> 6Chii twitches a little.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sneer grins
<Kit> <Chii> You kidding me?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Nope.
<Kit> <Chii> If I can't beat you with strength outright, there's other ways...
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Shyeah. Whatever. 6* She begins to stand
<Kit> 6Chii struggles to one foot and springs at Cheryl again. 1"Cheeeeerrrrry!"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl snarls, holding up her hands as Chii springs into her again, pressing her against the wall.
<Kit> 6Chii jerks back into the wall and blinks. 1"..."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> You lose.
<Kit> 6Chii grinnns. 1"Cherry, cherry, cherry."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl gets annoyed, lets her go, and moves faster for the rec room
<Kit> 6Chii springs after her. 1"Hey cherry~!"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl keeps her pace, the rec room in sight
<Kit> 6Chii slides up behind Cheryl since she's just barreling forward and reaches up, groping her with one hand, the other sliding down along her thigh. 1"Cherry, gimme a kiss?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl jerks, bringing her hand down for Chii's head. "Tch. No."
<Kit> 6Chii tries her best not to wince from the whack on the head, smiling with a bit of a grimace to it. She peers with one at Cheryl, speaking softly. 1"Why not..? I'll be good.."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl tugs at her collar. "Ungh. I'm not kissing you. Why? You want me to be your little whore?"
<Kit> 6Chii sighs gently and lets Cheryl go, hanging her head.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl crosses her arms, no longer advancing on the rec room
<Kit> <Chii> Cheryl... Dias isn't the only one who says things he doesn't mean once in a while... And for you to interpret it like that... I must have said something terrible as well.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl blinks once, glancing at her. "Eh?"
<Kit> <Chii> It hurts when you call yourself that. Because of me.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm not calling myself that because of you. 6* She shrugs. "Just stating things as they are."
<Kit> <Chii> But you're not..
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl shrugs her shoulders dismissively, frowning. "Yeah. Okay. Whatever."
<Kit> <Chii> You're not.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl rolls her eyes. "Okay, I'm not."
<Kit> <Chii> I mean it. I'm closer to being one than you.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. You totally sleep with people you have no interest in.
<Kit> <Chii> No, but I sleep with anyone I have true interest in. That makes me more whorish than you'll ever be.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Yeah. If you say so.
<Kit> 6Chii sighs again, then turns, rubbing her head. 1"..."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the floor
<Kit> <Chii> Do you still want me to leave?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Huh?
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl looks at her, confused
<Kit> <Chii> Do you still want me gone?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I guess not. If you'll stop doing dumb crap like attacking people. 6* She has dropped off the tire thing now, it seems
<Kit> 6Chii reaches up and stretches the length of her body, her ears standing up and her tail pulled back in the process. 1"...I ..could do that for you."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Good.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's mood seems to ease somewhat, since it's been moody since the whore thing
<Kit> <Chii> ...I'm going to go swallow my pride now. Later Cherry.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl nods, then turns and moves back for her room
<Kit> 6Chii peers around, then follows Cheryl. 1"Hey, uh... Cheryl?"
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl glances back. "Yeah?"
<Kit> <Chii> I ...um... uh...." 6She peers at the ground, shifting uncomfortably.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What?
<Kit> 6Chii holds up her hands, hiding behind them, peering through her fingers. 1"...I.."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> ... You..?
<Kit> <Chii> I smell. Can I borrow your shower?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Go ahead
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl moves toward her room again
<Kit> 6Chii follows after her skiddish, glancing around paranoically.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl enters the room and moves to the bed, laying down
<Kit> 6Chii looks after her, then slinks toward the bathroom, shutting the door.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes the ceiling
* Jackieness has joined #taw
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Jackieness
<Kit> 6Chii can be heard scurrying about for a while, then running water, the doors sliding open and closed. The likes.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares at the ceiling, no expression on her face, but in her melancholy mood.
<Kit> 6Chii eventually exits the bathroom, her hair still damp and wildly tossled, her casual clothes draped lazily, even hanging off a shoulder. She's tying the band back in that holds the back of her hair up when she smiles appeciatively to Cheryl and heads for the exit. 1"Thanks."
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl does a cat call whistle.
<Kit> 6Chii blinks and peers at her, shocked.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl eyes her.
<Kit> <Chii> U-uh..." 6Her cheeks redden.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Shake it for me. 6* She states in her monotoned voice.
<Kit> 6Chii blinks, then purses her lips and puts a hand on her hip. 1"D-Don't make fun of me, geez."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What? No show? No wiggling the ass?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I let you use my shower, after all.
<Kit> 6Chii's jaw drops.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> I'm waiting.
* Chad`Sleep is now known as Chad`Winters
<Kit> <Chii> ...Er...ah..." 6She peers at the floor, rubbing her neck, then awkward sets the hand on her hip in motion, nervously jiggling in a dance to no music.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares, then begins to laugh her ass off
<Kit> 6Chii pauses and backs against the wall, trembling in half-anger half-embarassment.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl stares at her, then gets up, still guffawing. She pats Chii on the shoulder. "S-Sorry. You just looked so...so..."
<Kit> <Chii> S-So what!?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It was 'cute'.
<Kit> <Chii> I-- I'm going!
<Kit> 6Chii burns red as she shifts for the door to leave.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl laughs harder. "Don't be mad."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Fine, I'll do something to make it up to you. Name your price.
<Kit> <Chii> I-It's fine..." 6She stalks off a bit sulky. Her pride's stomped on, but hey, she was going to eat it anyway to talk to Paladin.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It's a one time offer.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl crosses her arms.
<Kit> 6Chii pauses and peers over her shoulder. 1"...Tempting."
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> *sneers* Yeah, well, better name it before I change my mind.
<Kit> <Chii> Mmm...
<Kit> 6Chii rubs her chin thoughtfully.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl sneers more
<Kit> <Chii> Smile for me.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> W-What ? That's what you want? 6* She stares.
<Kit> 6Chii nods slowly.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl pauses, then gives her a smile. A creepy smile.
<Kit> <Chii> Don't force it, just relax-- and smile.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> What! That IS my smile!
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl scowls.
<Kit> 6Chii frowns sternly.
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> Tch. Wouldn't you rather just stick your hand down my pants or something?
<Kit> <Chii> You want me to?
<DeathStar> <Cheryl> It'd be easier than trying to smile some weirdass way.
<Kit> 6Chii sulks a bit. 1"Then no, that was fine."
<Kit> 6Chii turns to walk toward the offices.
<DeathStar> 6* Cheryl's mood sours and she moves back into her room
<Kit> 6Chii walks right up to Paladin's office and peers in slowly.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin does work
* Marcus` is now known as Drasek
<Kit> 6Chii squints. 1"...General."
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin glances at Chii. "Hello, Chii. Done visiting for today?"
<Kit> <Chii> Yes.
<Kit> 6Chii sweets some of her wet bangs out of her eyes, taking a deep breath.
* Kulix has joined #taw
<Kit> NRP: Sweeps...
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Alright
<Kit> <Chii> So um...
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Hm? 6* He looks up
<Kit> <Chii> I kind of find myself in need of a job.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin looks up, surprise on his face. "Really?"
<Kit> <Chii> Yeah..." 6She crosses her arms and peers down, rubbing one ankle with her other foot. 1"...Know anything? High risk, low pay, obnoxious teammates...?"
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Are you asking for your job back? The one you just quit?
<Kit> <Chii> ... ..Yes..." 6She almost whispers.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin leans back, tapping his face. "Chii. I tried desperately to get you to rethink this the other day, and you were deadset against it."
<Kit> 6Chii nods slowly.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> And now, here you are again, wanting your job. Why?
<Kit> <Chii> The status quo changed..
<DeathStar> <Paladin> And how can I trust it won't change again? And again? How can I trust you're reliable?
<Kit> <Chii> ..Because it's for her sake.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Who?
<Kit> <Chii> My cherry.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Your...cherry...?
<Kit> <Chii> The one who smiles like a reaper.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> .... Cheryl?
<Kit> 6Chii nods again slowly.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin leans back. "I thought you were quitting because of her."
<Kit> <Chii> I couldn't stand it if she didn't want me around.
<DeathStar> <PAladin> And if she wants you gone again?
<Kit> <Chii> If it comes to that... I'll deal with it. It's between me and her.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> I see.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> So, what guarentee I have that you won't quit again?
<Kit> <Chii> There isn't one. Sorry, General, but like any of the others here, there are circumstances that could make us leave. As it is, almost all of us are volunteers giving everything we have for a cause some of us don't even have half a heart in... But as for all the trouble I cause you-- I can be a good girl. She asked me to...
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Alright. You're back on.
<Kit> 6Chii blinks.
<Kit> <Chii> Th-That's it?" 6She pulls her arms away from her chest, breaking posture.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Yes. Was there something more you wanted to go over?
<Kit> <Chii> U-...um... ..No?
<DeathStar> <Paladin> Alright, then.
<DeathStar> 6* Paladin adds Chii to the roster, informing the guards
<Kit> 6Chii gapes, then clicks her jaw back into place and folds her hands, bowing at the waist.
<Kit> <Chii> Arigatou... General.
<DeathStar> <Paladin> You're welcome.
<Kit> 6Chii stands up, nods her head and walks out.

Session Ident: #erevis
* Logging #erevis to 'logs\EsperNet\#erevis.20080427.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-589.1.12
<DeathStar> Location: Megumi's New Home
<DeathStar> 6* A small, quaint Japanese style household is the new home of Megumi Zhenmei. Dias and Angela arrive at the same time, as if by fate, outside it
* Seraphna looks at Dias curiously as she approaches the door.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at Angela confused at how such a turn of events could ever take place.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> What's up. 6He steps upto the door and knocks on it.
<Seraphna> "Not much, you?"
* Seraphna looks from him to the door, fixing her hair.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Eh. 6He knocks on the door again.
<DeathStar> 6* The door opens and Zephyr peers at the two, wearing a gray sweater and jeans. "Oh. Hi." 6* She stares at the two together
* Seraphna waves a bit and smiles.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias looks at Zephyr then over at Angela then Zephyr again. 1"Noooo, no no no."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> How long have you two been dating?
<Seraphna> "Buh...?"
* Seraphna blinks and looks at Dias. "This one of your schemes?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Hell no. 6He points at Zephyr. 1"Not funny."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr grins. "You two do make a cute couple."
* Seraphna blinks and looks at Zephyr, then eyes Dias up and down.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Har har har. 6He rolls his eyes and just moves inside
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr is barrelled over.
<Seraphna> "Dias!"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> What? 6He turns around.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr lays on the ground now
* Seraphna moves over and helps Zephyr up.
<Seraphna> "That was rude."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr dusts herself off, glaring at Dias, a hurt expression on her face. "Take off your shoes, you bully."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Shoes...Oh. 6He flicks them off.
* Seraphna slips out of her own shoes and puts them aside neatly.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr moves past them, sticking her tongue out at Dias.
* Seraphna smirks a little and follows after Zephyr, looking about.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm going to the bathroom to wash up. The living room is right there. 6* She points at the sitting area, then steps into the bathroom
<Seraphna> "Kay."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Wash up? 6He eyes her then shakes his head and moves into the living room and hops onto the couch, sprawling out
* Seraphna steps into the living room and takes a seat, on Dias if she has to.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias shifts his feet out of the way and sits on it properly. 1"That was rude."
<Seraphna> "So how're you doing Dias?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Peachy.
<Seraphna> "That well?"
* Seraphna studies his markings and eyes him a bit.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yes, that's what being peachy means isn't it?
<Seraphna> "That or carrying a similarity to peaches, and you're not very bruised, god knows how you taste, so I'll assume it means you're well."
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias blinks, confused
* Seraphna smiles, satisfied.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr walks back out, eyeing the couch and sits on the floor, Japanese style.
<Seraphna> "So how'd the move go... settle in alright?"
* Seraphna gets up a bit, moving herself to the floor as well.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah, we're doing good so far.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Lot of late night pillow fights?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Mmmm. Naked, too.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You know, you should really get some security devices put in here. I know a guy...
* Seraphna grins a bit and shakes her head. "I like the place." She looks around a bit more.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Perv.
* Amaterasu is now known as Fayth
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> What? I'm only concerned about your safety.
* Seraphna looks at Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr rolls her eyes.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Too forced? 6He looks ath er
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah. Perv.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Damn. I really am out of practice.
<Seraphna> "Maybe you'll just have to retire, train some apprentice."
<Fayth> 6Megumi exits her room, hair tied up in impossible amounts of braides and twists so that it's above shoulders and tidy save for one long tail. She rubs her eyes, then fixes some spectacle-like sunglasses, carrying a set of books under one arm and a clipboard in the other, yawning. 1"..Do we have ...visitors, Zephyr?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Retire from what?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yes, Meg. 6* She glances over, smiling
<Seraphna> "Hey Meggy!"
<Fayth> 6Megumi jerks, dropping her books. 1"Eh!"
<Fayth> 6She promptly composes herself and kneels, gathering them back up.
* Seraphna smiles at Dias and shrugs.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias eyes all three girls, nothing a shift in the estrogen levels in the room
<DeathStar> -+
<Chad`Winters> Yeah, mine did that too
* Seraphna looks between them all.
<Fayth> 6Megumi finishes gathering her thinks and moves into the living room, taking up a pillow on her knees beside Zephyr. She's wearing a kimono that fades from white to a pale violet, embroidered with irises.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> What's with the kneeling on a pillow thing?
<Fayth> <Megumi> It is the proper way to sit in a keep such as this.
<Seraphna> "Style of the house Dias."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Says who?
<Fayth> <Megumi> This country's history.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> So?
<Fayth> 6Megumi sets her materials on the kotatsu, opening one littered with red marks and footnotes. She takes out a pen and pushes up the spectacles, leaning over to continue working on it.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You people are your weird things. A house is a house.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shakes her head at Dias. "Dork."
<Seraphna> "Respecting tradition isn't that weird..."
<Fayth> <Megumi> I do not believe anyone asked you to follow our customs. Taking your shoes off was enough.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You should be happy I even wore shoes.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You should be happy we let you in
* Seraphna sighs a bit.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> You'd deny me entrance after you battered me with guilt? 6He looks at her, a hurt look on his face
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You're the one who's ignored me for 5 months.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Nice. 6He points.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr tickles Megumi's side
<Fayth> 6Megumi jerks and flails. 1"Wahh! I can't work i-if-- ahaha! AH! Haa haa!"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I can't understand you.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr keeps up her attack
* Seraphna giggles and watches.
<Fayth> 6Megumi tosses the pen and falls over erratically, twitching this way and that. 1"Nyaaah! Ehehee! Eee!"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Dragoon Tickle!
* Seraphna laughs a bit and sits up a little.
<Fayth> 6Megumi rolls about the floor, losing some of the tidiness in her garb and pinned hair, laughing ecstatically, shuffling some of the papers as her hand hits the kotatsu's edge.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr straddles Megumi as she attacks her
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias sits there, being the only one with a penis in this room.
<Fayth> 6Megumi cries pitifully, gasping for air in wheezing hisses.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr finally relents, still straddling.
<Seraphna> "Damn that's adorable."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Adorable? 6He eyes Angela like she's insane.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What is it, then?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Dias, still sitting on Megumi, claiming her victory.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It's not adorable. Adorables what a pet owner says to their two pups playing around.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You find us sexy, eh?
<Fayth> 6Megumi winces, struggling for normal breathing. 1"...Ah... Ah..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> If pedophilia's sexy, sure.
* Seraphna arches a brow.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr frowns. "Fine."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stretches on Megumi
<Fayth> <Megumi> Nnh! S-So mean...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What's that, my kitty cat?
<Seraphna> "Oh you love it."
<Fayth> 6Megumi pouts. 1"I'm never going to finish work if you keep teasing me all the time."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I think I know what I love Angela.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr snerks, and scratches Megumi's ear. "Maybe if you're good, I'll let you curl up in my lap later."
<Fayth> 6Megumi glances up, then taps her lip, pondering.
<Seraphna> "I was tlaking to Meg..."
* Seraphna eyes Dias oddly.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Oh.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr keeps scratching Megumi, but looks at Dias, distracted. "So, what brings you here?"
<Fayth> 6Megumi leans her head up, her lips parted slightly, eyes squinted in an odd contentment.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> To visit.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You missed me, huh?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well duh.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You want to pet my cat, too?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I don't know, is it spaded?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Nope.
<Seraphna> 'It's house broken at least."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It have all it's shots?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> She's up to date.
<Fayth> 6Megumi utters a content coo, then opens one eyes, glancing down after it being rolled up a bit. 1"..H-huh..?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Than yeah I'll pet her.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr grins. "Great!"
<Fayth> <Megumi> What is going on?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh, Dias just wanted to pet you
* Seraphna tries nott o fall over from giggling now.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I only thought it was fair
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Come on, Dias. She likes her ears scratched.
<Fayth> 6Megumi peers at Angela oddly, then blinks at Zephyr and gazes at Dias. 1"..E-Eh..!?"
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias starts to stand
<Fayth> 6Megumi wiggles, trying to get out from under Zephyr. 1"I .. um..!"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr grins devilishly. "What's wrong, Megumi?"
<Fayth> 6Megumi huffs, then reaches up and goes to tickle Zephyr.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves over to Zephyr and Megumi and reaches down, scratching behind her ear
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr acks, twitching
<Fayth> 6Megumi pauses, jerking a bit. 1"Ah..! N-no..." 6She lulls. 1"...u-uhm... mm..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hops off, takes her camera, and takes a picture of Dias and Megumi
* Seraphna pulls out her datapad, recording this.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr grins at Angela
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias continues scratching away
<Fayth> 6Megumi shivers in some manner of odd, repulsed, but pleasant manner.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> This is kinda creepy.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yet you don't seem inclined to stop.
<Seraphna> "What do we do if he starts groping?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, I guess Megumi should learn what a man
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, I guess Megumi should learn what a man's touch is like
<Fayth> <Megumi> ...Mm... mnh..
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It's like watching a train wreck. You want to turn away, but you don't.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You two are cute together
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ouch, I think.
* Seraphna chuckles.
<Seraphna> "Dias seems cute with any girl."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It's his gift
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It's my curse.
<Fayth> 6Megumi shifts back and hits her head on the floor, jerking upright to sit, blinking. 1"O-Ow!"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks, then winces. "Yikes."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I seriously wonder if there's any girl that can resist yo
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias stands up, putting his hands behind the back of his head. 1"Now I know you're just fueling my ego."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, I'm trying to be a good friend.
* Seraphna shakes her head and goes a little quiet.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sits back on the floor
<Fayth> 6Megumi peers, lost, then moves to gather her papers back up and return to grading.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I didn't say I didn't enjoy it
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sticks out her tongue
<Seraphna> "Mmm... so... what are everyone's plans for the day?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I didn't have any.
<Fayth> <Megumi> Finish work...
<Seraphna> "I didn't have any either."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at Dias now
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I plan on punching things.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Dork. Who are you going to punch over here?
<Fayth> <Megumi> If you punch my things, I will break both your arms.
<Fayth> 6Megumi continues grading and reading, not even peering up.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Hah, you coudln't break my arms.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'd shoot you
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Shooting would work tho.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I think we should all do something together.
<Fayth> <Megumi> I have to work!" 6She whines.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pouts, leaning in close to Megumi. "Megumi. You-You would reject me?"
<Fayth> 6Megumi leans back from Zephyr, wincing. 1"...U-um..!"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr lets her eyes water
<Fayth> <Megumi> ...I.." 6Sigh. 1"...I can find the time to finish later."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr makes a glee sound, bouncing up and down
* Seraphna giggles and smiles.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So, what are we all going to do?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> We could goto the strip club.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Perv.
<Fayth> <Megumi> What does the club strip?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr coughs
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It's a place women take off clothes.
<Fayth> <Megumi> A changing room?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> For money I might add.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Um, no. They do it in front of an audience.
<Fayth> 6Megumi puzzles. 1"Why would that require a club and funding?"
<Fayth> 6Megumi headtilts.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at Angela
* Seraphna looks back at her and sighs.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Uh...well...ugh. Dias, you perv.
* Seraphna shakes her head.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> There goes that fun.
<Seraphna> "We could go sight seeing, maybe the park, not sure... Anywhere we don't wind up in trouble is fine."
* Seraphna puts emphasis on trouble as she looks at Dias.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias snorts.
<Fayth> 6Megumi studies the three, looking left out.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Ah, Angela, always boring
<DeathStar>
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at Megumi, waiting on her idea
* Seraphna pouts at Zephyr.
<Seraphna> "I could take you all down to the local tech shops, but..."
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Lame
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr goes glassy eyed
* Seraphna looks down at the floor.
<Seraphna> "When was the last time any of you went to a spa?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I dunno
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I dated a girl who worked at a spa once.
<Seraphna> "Well let's go to one, they can be awfully fun."
* Seraphna smiles a bit now.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It is funny how you always suggest spas. What's your fascination with them?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> She just wants to see us naked.
<Seraphna> "They're relaxing."
* Seraphna eyes Dias.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Dias. "Perv."
<Seraphna> "And they help me clear my mind."
* Seraphna gets a bit quiet as she says that.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I have too many voices in my head.
<Seraphna> "No voices up here... just... memories."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well. I think we should have a vote. Spa? Yes or no
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers at Dias and Megumi
<Fayth> 6Megumi has snuck back to doing work furiously.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Megumi!
<Fayth> 6Megumi squeals and writes faster.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr busts out crying
<Fayth> 6Megumi drops the pen. 1"Yes, of course!"
<Fayth> <Megumi> Wh-what were we voting on?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr wipes at her eyes, looking at Dias now
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> I think I'll pass.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks sadder
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh.
<Seraphna> "Well that means we can go to one of the girl's only spas if you're not interested."
<Seraphna> "Mmm?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> It'll be your own special girls night out.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You mean we can fondle each other and have wild lesbian sex?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Hot fun.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It's what girls do when they take spas together alone
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> So my not going is a bonus for you.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sticks out her tongue.
<Fayth> 6Megumi looks stunned. 1"Is this true?!"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr turns to stare at Megumi
<Fayth> <Megumi> A group of my female students are going on a trip to one of the islands!
<Fayth> 6Megumi panics.
<Seraphna> "Oh?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr smirks, scratching Megumi's ears. "You're cute."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> In a naive, retarded way.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias laughs
<Seraphna> "why are yah spazzing out over it anyways?"
<Fayth> 6Megumi jerks, "1Er.. I.. Should they not... be older?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hah. Older. You're funny.
<Fayth> <Megumi> ..." 6Gazes downward.
<Seraphna> "To go on a trip? They're in high school."
<Fayth> <Megumi> No! For fondling and wild lesbian sex!
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr snickers loudly.
* Seraphna looks lost suddenly.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr just begins to laugh
<Seraphna> "S-So... ummm..."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr falls on her side laughing
<Fayth> <Megumi> Wh-what!?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh my god. S-She's so naive. 6* Keeps laughing
* Seraphna closes her mouth and shakes her head, she pats Megumi and scritches her gently.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias just stares at the tirls
<Chad`Winters> NRP: girls
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr keeps laughing not needing air. She stops to mimic Megumi. "No! For fondling and wild lesbian sex!"
<Fayth> <Megumi> ... Grr..." 6She puffs her cheeks.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stops laughing, wiping at her eyes. "Okay, if Megumi wants to go to a spa, I'll go."
* Kit has left #erevis
* Seraphna sits up and smiles. "Well seeing as she agreed to it, let's go then!"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6* She eyes Angela
* Seraphna looks at her. "Wh-What?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sticks out her tongue. "She agreed without hearing us."
* Seraphna crosses her arms and pouts. "Oh very well."
<Fayth> <Megumi> A spa? Like an onsen?
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> A spa like a spa.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Well I'm gonna bounce.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes him, sticking out her lower lip.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias moves over and gives Zephyr a tight hug.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr is hugged. "Are you touching my ass?"
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Yes.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Perv.
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> But still your favorite perv.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I don't know. Megumi's pretty high on my favorites list
<Chad`Winters> <Dias> Ouch. 6He cries and lets go. 1"See ya Zeph. Megumi. Angela."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Later, Dias.
<Chad`Winters> 6Dias heads to the hallway and slips his shoes on and takes his leave.
<Fayth> 6Megumi peers after Dias leaving. 1"...I am unsure to its possibility, but I somehow feel less safe with him gone."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> .... .... really?
<Fayth> 6Megumi squints slightly, peering at the two remaining. Zephyr and Angela.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What, you think I'm going to molest you?
<Fayth> <Megumi> Going to?
<Fayth> 6Megumi eyes Zephyr skeptically.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> W-What are yo indicating?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr jerks back
<Fayth> <Megumi> ...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ...
<Fayth> <Megumi> ...N-Nothing.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks red in the face. "Tch!" 6* She gets up and moves for her room
* Seraphna blinks a bit and watches her leave. "Hey..."
* Seraphna gets up. "Zeph?"
<Fayth> <Megumi> ..." 6Looks downward, ashamed.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr steps back out of her room with her purse, and her trench coat on. "Lets do the spa thing."
* Chad`Winters is now known as Chad-WorkSadFAce
<Fayth> <Megumi> ...Mmhmm.
* Seraphna smiles and stretches a bit. "Alright then!"
<Fayth> 6Megumi moves over to her room and retrieves a handbag that matches her work outfit.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Megumi when she returns, then smiles. "And I'll show you molesting."
<Fayth> 6Megumi pauses, reeling. She shakes.
* Seraphna giggles
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pulls down her eyelid and sticks out her tongue
* Kuroichigo has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 180 seconds)

* Seraphna gets upa nd goes to teh front, getting her shoes back on, waiting for the other two. "Shall we take my car?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I don't have a car.
<Seraphna> "Then that settles it."
<Fayth> <Megumi> If it is far, that may be prudent.
* Seraphna steps outside and heads to her car.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr follows.
<Fayth> 6Megumi looks to Zephyr, allowing her to go first. Paranoid.
* Seraphna gets in the driver's side and waits for the other two to pile in, starting up the car.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr gets in the back
<Fayth> 6Megumi gazes at Zephyr stealing the back. She takes the other side of the back.
* Seraphna smiles and pulls away as soon as they're securely in, driving a bit deeper into the countryside away from the city.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hrmphs at Megumi.
* Seraphna arrives at a large complex, the place is out in the woods, she stops teh car and gets out.
<Fayth> 6Megumi adjusts her glasses, peering out the window as they travel.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Me. Molest you.
* Seraphna looks back at the two. "We're here."
<Fayth> 6Megumi's ear twitches and she slowly gazes at Zephyr. 1"...Huh?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hrmph.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr gets out of the car
* Seraphna smiles, watching the two as she makes her way to the entrance.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr moves after Angela, grumbling
* Fayth gets out and follows, playing with an end of her hair.
* Seraphna steps inside and pays for the three of them, looking back at them as she does. "They're here with me, we'd like the full treatment."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at Angela. "What's the full treatment?"
<Seraphna> "Bath, massage, nails, get your hair washed up, and then a nice dip in the springs out back."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> E-eh?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hides behind MEgumi
<Seraphna> "Wha?"
<Seraphna> "Oh come on, it'll be fun."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr keeps hiding behind Megumi. "I don't want a massage or someone else washing my hair."
<Seraphna> 'But... the point of a spa is to relax and be pampered... hmm... wanna just skip to the hotsprings?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods.
<Seraphna> "Alright."
* Seraphna smiles warmly. "Keep the extra cost, we'll just use the hot springs today." She says the keeper, who hands her soem robes, she gives one to each of the girls. "Follow me."
* Seraphna heads for the back.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr takes the robe. "Can you really afford to be throwing money away like that?"
<Seraphna> "Today, yes."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Attitudes like that lead to debts.
* Seraphna looks back at her, her eyes a little distant. "Yeah... I suppose."
* Seraphna breaks into a smile and shrugs a bit. "I'll be more careful in the future."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr follows along with her robe.
<Fayth> 6Megumi frowns slightly, after moving along after the two.
* Seraphna moves into a large, mostly bare room with a few mats. "Changing room here."
* Seraphna turns away modestly and starts to undo her blouse. "The facilities are a little open, I hope you don't mine, all female staff and only female customers."
<Fayth> <Megumi> U-um...
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pauses, glancing down at herself.
* Seraphna puts her robe aside a moment so pulls off her arm band and pull away her shirt, bare back visible. "No reason to be self concious."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hrmph! I'm not.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr turns her back, crossing her arms.
* Seraphna peeks over her shoulder. "Then why are you waiting?"
<Fayth> <Megumi> ...I only showed myself to beloved.
<Fayth> 6She sulks. 1"I should have brought my swimsuit."
* Seraphna pulls her pants down and slips out of her underthings, pulling the robes over herself after she's undressed.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr frowns. "W-Well, MEgumi hasn't gone yet!"
<Seraphna> "Oh stop being silly, it's not like we're interested in you."
<Fayth> <Megumi> W-We?
* Seraphna looks at Zephyr. "...You're straight... right?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Lesbian.
* Seraphna arches a brow. "For reals?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh yeah, totally. 6* She keeps her arms crossed. "I have a secret love crush for Megumi."
<Seraphna> "Ah, I see, such youthful love."
* Seraphna sighs softly and adjusts her robe. "Want me to wait outside?"
* Seraphna looks at them, if getting into robes is going to be a challenge, taking them off for the water will be epic.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Um. Yeah.
* Seraphna shakes her head and steps outside through the opposite door, leading to the springs.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers at Megumi, as if saying 'you first'.
<Fayth> 6Megumi sulks, hanging her head, then turns around and systematically undoes her obi and drops the kimono off, follwed by a series of shaking and removing the undergarments. Plainer ones.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr mutters, then removes her coat, then her clothes, including pink underwear with hearts on them.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pauses, then does something with her underwear, tying the robe back on
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr turns, smiling at Megumi. "See you later, Megumi." 6* She hurries after Angela
<Fayth> 6Megumi dons the robe, then peers over her shoulder.
<Fayth> 6Megumi blinks, then follows after her. 1"Ah?"
* Seraphna turns to look at Zephyr as she moves to one of the springs divided areas. She sits down at the side once she's slipped out of sight of the rest of the spa.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes the water
<DeathStar> 6* She then eyes Angela, to see if she took off the robe
* Seraphna has her fingers on the tie about her robes. "What?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Nothing. 6* She looks back at the water, then gets into the water with it on.
<Seraphna> "You'll want to get that off once you're submerged dear, it'll get uncomforterable."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr just looks red. "I'm good."
* Seraphna removes her own with little worry, placing it on the side as she submerges her body out of sight. "There's modesty Zeph... but too much can be bad at times."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> F-Fine. 6* She takes off the soaking wet robe, since she's completely under the water
* Seraphna smiles and sits back in the spring, relaxing. "Just soak it in... this water feels wonderful. Softens the skin too."
<Fayth> 6Megumi stands at the edge, peering at the two having arrived silently.
<Seraphna> "Come on in Meggy!"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr cleverly is wearing her bra and underwear in the water. She chuckles at her genius
<Fayth> 6Megumi smacks her palm with her other hand, getting an idea. She unties the robe, then turns around with her back to the other two, she slips her arms out, then holds up a hand, lifting the robe off her and back slightly. While holding it with with her ability, she slips in behind its cover, then lets it fall on the edge.
<Seraphna> "The two of you, so shy it's cute."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... Hrmph!
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sticks out her tongue
* Seraphna smiles softly and relaxes.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> According to Megumi, I'm a fiendish molester, so you better watch out
<Seraphna> "Oh dear!"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Megumi, then gets in closer to her, as if to freak her out
<Fayth> 6Megumi squeals and shifts, bumping back into the edge of the spring with a wince.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glances away, frowning and puffing her cheeks.
* Seraphna giggles and enjoys the entertainment provided as she relaxes, she seems glad for the distraction.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6* Glares at a spot of water.
<Fayth> 6Megumi cowers over in her own spot of water.
<Seraphna> "Oh you two..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6* She peers at Angela.
<Seraphna> "Why all the huff?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Nothing
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes the water again, as if waiting for time to be up
* Seraphna tilts her head a little. "Am I boring...?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> No.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr shifts to sit on an opposite end of the spa by herself
* Seraphna looks down at the water, troubled now. "Sorry."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Nothing to be sorry about, Angela. 6* She sticks her tongue out, and then goes back to sitting there silently.
<Fayth> <Megumi> I am merely quiet because this is supposed to be relaxing.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ...
* Seraphna leans back in the water and watches it thoughtfully.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pauses. "I gotta go pee!" 6* She hops out, grabs her wet robe, puts it on, and slinks off
<Fayth> 6Megumi blinks after Zephyr.
* Seraphna watches her go.
<Fayth> <Megumi> ...
* Seraphna looks at Megumi.
<Fayth> 6Megumi glances elsewhere.
<Seraphna> "Am I missin something?"
<Fayth> <Megumi> ...Such as?
<Seraphna> "Dunno... I don't get why you two are actin so wierd..."
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> 6* And so, Zephyr and MEgumi return home, without Angela
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr moves to her room, sliding in and shutting the door
<Fayth> 6Megumi looks after Zephyr, then peers at the ceiling. Shortly afterward, she picks up her materials from the kotatsu and returns to working within her room.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr turns on loud, headbanging music
* Seraphna is now known as Sera|SleepingCabbit
<Fayth> 6Megumi hangs her head and sighs.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr flops on her bed, listening to it
* Fayth is now known as Kit

<DeathStar> Location: Angela's House
<DeathStar> -HATE YOU-
* Angela sits up, on her bed, half dressed and staring at the wall quietly. She hugs her knees a little and sighs fitfully. Overally, it's been a quiet morning.
<Marcus`> 6* A knock on the door breaks the silence, and then another. It seems the sneaky Drasek isn't going to answer it. Is he even there?
* Angela pulls herself off the bed, after a short wait, she opens the door slowly, she looks tired, eyes worn with tears as she looks out, "Hello...?"
* Marcus` stands there, in his usual winter garb, the tan trenchcoat and slacks, grey shirt, scruffy face, though he does have his hair pulled back into a ponytail. "Morning."
* Angela opens the door, letting him in. She doesn't even seem to care about her own appearance today, still dressed for bed, she turns and walks to the kitchen. "Morning..."
* Marcus` steps in, and closes the door with his foot as he moves forward, he slides his coat off and moves into the kitchen, "You don't seem to be in your usual good mood today." He notes, tossing the coat over the back of one of the chairs.
* Angela stares at the coffee maker, slowly turning it on. "I don't feel very happy today..."
<Marcus`> Yeah. I didn't think you would. *he notes as he walks over to stand beside her, turning himself so that he can lean against the counter, his body facing the opposite direction of Sera.* Hard to believe how long it has been.
* Angela shakes a little, putting down the pot. "A year..." She closes her eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks.
* Marcus` frowns and places his left hand onto her shoulder.
* Angela leans against him and hugs onto him, starting to really cry.
* Marcus` arches a brow, this catching him by surprise, he pauses before he starts to pat her back, unsure what else he can do.
* Angela catches herself in the act and pulls herself back, wiping her eyes, "Sorry... I just..."
<Marcus`> It's alright, you've no reason to apologize.
* Angela makes her coffee and looks at him, "Did you want some...?"
* Marcus` waves a hand. "No. I just figured I would stop by and make sure you were doing alright. And well, I guess I wanted to apologize too."
<Angela> "Apologize...?"
* Angela blinks a bit, slowly moving to sit down with her cup, doing well would be the worst way of putting how she is right now.
* Marcus` steps over to grab a chair and pull it out, then sits down. "Someone made me realize how immature i've been. For the past few years all i've did is taken what I wanted, when I wanted, and never gave the simplest care for anything else." He frowns and leans forward. "I'm the reason why you're in so much pain right now."
* Angela looks to her cup. "N-No... it's my fault..."
<Marcus`> Angela, I used you, and because i'm a moron and because I wasn't careful, I got you pregnent. I used the feelings that Seraphna had for me, and I took advantage of that. *he closes his eyes and looks down* What happened to you after that, not even that was your fault, you had no idea what would've happened, no one did. *he pauses* Except for Erevis.
* Angela grips her cup and closes her eyes, holding onto it as if for dear life. "I... my feelings... I wanted..."
<Marcus`> I didn't think. And I hurt you, I thought I smoothed things out, and I may have, but it doesn't change the fact that I hurt you, in more ways that one. And I wanted to sit down and tell you that i'm sorry. Honestly and deeply sorry.
* Angela looks up at him, her eyes doing little to jhide the utter torment she's going through right now, she nods quietly and wipes her eyes, unable to stop crying.
* Marcus` falls silent now, sitting back, a frown on his face. He just seems to be giving her all the time she needs to calm down.
* Angela slowly calms down, taking a deep breath, gulping down a little. She pulls her hair back into a neat ponytail, sitting back. "I... don't know what to say right now. I never held anything against you... I still even have feelings for you. I just... I miss them... I never got to have them but I still miss them... is that stupid?"
* Marcus` smiles slightly, though it's probably just to try and cheer her up. "No, that's not stupid. And one day Angie, you'll get another chance. I know they can't be replaced, but as time goes on, these wounds will hurt less, I promise."
* Angela tries to smile. "I hope so Marcus..."
<Marcus`> And you can be damn sure Uncle Marcus will be there to teach them all sorts of bad habits. *He gives her a wink, flashing his smile.*
* Angela blushes a little and smiles. "Thanks... all I need to do now is find Mister Right..."
* Angela looks around the quiet house. "I should start with friends that are around more though..."
* Angela rubs her eyes.
<Marcus`> What happened to everyone, anyway? *he says as he glances around*
<Angela> "Meg moved in with Zephyr... Darien isn't speaking to me... Drasek comes and goes... Chad doesn't want me in his or Aya's life..."
<Marcus`> Maybe you should start going out more, the men you hang around aren't exactly the best people to grow old with, if you catch my drift.
<Angela> "Yeah I guess so..."
* Angela looks down into her coffee now like it's some portal to another world.
* Marcus` tilts his head. "Do you think you'll be alright?"
* Angela shakes her head. "I'll live though..."
* Marcus` reaches out and takes her hand. "Anything you want to hang out, get drinks or what have you. You know how to get ahold of me. You're one of the only friends I have, Angela, and I really hate to see you like this."
<Angela> "Spend the day with me...?"
* Angela looks up at him, her voice almost like a child's as she asks.
* Marcus` cracks a smile and nods once. "Sure. I think I can manage that."
* Angela smiles a little. "I-I'll go get dressed... and shower..."
* Angela gets up, a bit more lively then before.
* Marcus` nods and sits back. "Take your time."
* Angela steps back in the kitchen a while later, dressed cleanly, in jeans and a tank top with her gold hair down. She looks far better cleaned up, she takes a seat next to Marcus.
<Marcus`> Spiffy you. *he says with a slight smile* What did you have in mind?
<Angela> "Anything that merits a distraction... a movie, drinks, some food... just time with a good friend." *she smiles softly*
* Marcus` nods and stands. "Let's see what trouble we can get into, then."
<DeathStar> -END-
