<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-589.3.10
<DeathStar> Location: Chad's Apartment
<DeathStar> 6* Aya sits in the living room before morning classes, trying to cram for the lost week
<Chad`Winters> You know you're going to ace it. 6He looks up from the table at her
<DeathStar> <Aya> I lost a week.
<Chad`Winters> And I'm still sorry about that.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya shrugs. "Not your fault. By the way, Alexander called. He wants you to come in today to replace your organs."
<Chad`Winters> He called? When?
<DeathStar> <Aya> A little while ago.
<Chad`Winters> Huh. 6He rubs the back of his neck. 1"I'll let Zephyr know to stop by after school to check on you, if that's ok with you."
<DeathStar> <Aya> You should ask her first, you know.
<Chad`Winters> I did plan on asking, I'm just getting ahead of myself.
<DeathStar> <Aya> I don't mind if she wants to do so, but I don't need help getting home.
<Chad`Winters> Here's the thing Aya. I'm going to be out for awhile, if someone planned on making a move, it's going to be while I'm under the knife.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Sure. 6* She sighs and closes her book, putting it her bookbag. "See you later, Dad." 6* She moves for the door
* Chad`Winters eyes his daughter. 1"I never said you couldn't walk home alone. I just want someone checking in on you, that's all."
<DeathStar> <Aya> I know. 6* She opens the door and steps out, closing it,
* Chad`Winters rubs his race and grabs his datapad, sending a message to Alexander Cran.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Megumi's Apartment
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hugs her pillow, sleeping blissfully in her own bed
<Kit> 6Megumi peers over the bed's edge, staring enviously.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr murmurs in her sleep about catnip and trap
<Kit> 6Megumi blinks and leans in to hear better.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr leans in and plants her face into Megumi's face. "Gwood mworning."
<Kit> 6Megumi jerks. 1"You were awake!"
* Kit is now known as Megumi
<Megumi> Cheater!
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr grins, opening her eyes. "What's that? Did you call ME a cheater?"
<Megumi> Yes! You cheated! Hrmph..
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Guess you better spank me.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr notes coyly, eyeing Megumi
* Megumi reels. 1"Ugh... You have been spoiled."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr laughs.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You should have totally seen your face
<Megumi> You are incredibly mean. A little dragon.
<Megumi> No breakfast for you.
* Megumi crosses her arms.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hrmphs, crossing her arms. "And here I was going to tell you where Erevis was going to be today and help you coy her into a little 'date'."
<Megumi> 6Megumi leans across the bed, her eyes widening. 1"You can have whatever you like! Where!?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> She'll be at the park today after classes end. Said something about wanting to enjoy the cool weather before spring gets into full gear.
* Megumi inclines her head. 1"Yes, for some reason she has always admired the winter weather."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> See? It's perfect. You show up, 'hang out'. And have her go out with you after she gets done with the park. It's foolproof. Megumiproof, even.
<Megumi> Megumi... proof?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It's a joke. So? Dooo it!
* Megumi frowns at Zephyr. 1'How rude."
<DeathStar> 6* She shakes Megumi
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Do it. Do it!
<Megumi> Fine, fine. I would have done it anyway
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> That's my girl. 6* She grabs MEgumi's breasts, squeazing. "Be sure to stuff these to look sexier."
<Megumi> What!?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah. You're kinda on the skimpy side, after all.
<Megumi> Rude! Utterly rude!
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr grins at her, giving her a catty grin
<Megumi> 6Megumi scowls and swipes at Zephyr in turn
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> A-aCk! 6* She opts to fall off the bed
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sighs, holding her head painfully. "God..."
* Megumi stands and brushes herself off. 1"Breakfast is in the kitchen. I will prepare to leave."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Tch!
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT/TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Location: Alexander Base of Operations
<DeathStar> 6* Chad Winters awakens after surgery to look at Alexander Cran's face, who appears to be peering down at him.
* Chad`Winters lays there for a moment, doing who knows what. 1"Not the first thing I wanted to see."
<DeathStar> <Alexander> I see there was no brain damage. A relief.
<Chad`Winters> For some. 6He moves to sit up as he tugs the top of his medical gown away to look down at his chest
<DeathStar> 6* No scar or signs of surgery.
<DeathStar> <Alexander> You'll recover fine. Just take it easy for the next two days. Don't fight evil. You know the drill.
* Chad`Winters lowers his hand. 1"I'll be sure not to throw any punches at you than." He shifts his feet off the bed and puts weight on them, testing them.
<DeathStar> 6* Everything seems fine. Alexander adjusts his tie. "You're welcome." 6* He notes dryly, moving to exit
* Chad`Winters grunts and looks around for his clothes.
<DeathStar> 6* They are next to him on the dresser
* Chad`Winters grabs them and starts changing.
<DeathStar> 6* The camera pans away as Chad changes, then pans back. He is dressed
<DeathStar> 6* There is only one door leading out of his room
* Chad`Winters adjusts his shirt and moves to the door, opening it and stepping out
<DeathStar> 6* As he steps out, he would find Eve Summers in the hallway, wearing a light long-sleeved shirt in the color of navy blue, and jeans. She turns to peer at Chad. "Hello."
<Chad`Winters> Hi. 6He nods to her. 1"Don't tell me you're working for Alexander Cran."
<DeathStar> <Eve> Huh? 6* She blinks, apparantly floored at the accussation.
<Chad`Winters> Odd's are low that I'd run into you hear unless you were working here. The only other explanation is you're getting another medical check-up.
<DeathStar> <Eve> Actually, I just came to see if you were doing okay after your surgery. 6* She crosses her arms, clearly holding something back now.
* Chad`Winters raises an eyebrow. 1"Besides the annoying feeling I have that I got more than a new heart and lungs while under the table? I'm good."
<DeathStar> <Eve> That's good. 6* She nods. "I hope you do well with your new organs." 6* She turns and moves away.
<Chad`Winters> I can only hope so. 6He rubs the back of his neck. 1"Thanks for checking up on me."
<DeathStar> 6* Eve nods once, glancing over her shoulder. "Least I could do after doing it to you." 6* She notes, then moves on.
<Chad`Winters> You did what you felt was right considering what you were told. It'd be wrong if I held it against you.
<DeathStar> 6* Eve shrugs her shoulders. "I hold it against myself."
<Chad`Winters> You don't have to.
<DeathStar> <Eve> Maybe not. But I do. 6* She notes matter-of-factly. "I'll leave you be now, Mr. Winters."
<Chad`Winters> Than I forgive you. 6He looks at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Eve pauses. "What?"
<Chad`Winters> I forgive you for shooting me in the chest and temporarily killing me.
<DeathStar> <Eve> .... That's...kind of you. 6* She notes slowly, as if not sure how to process that.
* Chad`Winters doesn't say anything. Probably because he's never been one to forgive people.
<DeathStar> 6* Eve nods once to him, and continues to move on. She seems awkward.
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue and moves to leave.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Graveyard
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands in front of Ariel's grave, wearing a suit and a long black jacket, a rose in his hand as he peers down at it, through his sunglasses
* Seraphna stands slightly behind him, a rose in her own hand, wearing her long white coat, she gazes at the grave quietly.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances over his shoulder, not looking surprised that she materalizes out of nowhere.
* Seraphna quietly walks over and lays the rose on the grave, she gets up and steps back, out of Darien's way.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien peers back at the grave, kneeling and setting the rose down, brushing his hand along her tombstone
* Seraphna watches him quietly, letting him have his time, she gazes past him, thoughtfully at the grave.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands up, sliding his hands into his coat. "What did you want, Angela?"
* Seraphna looks back at him and blinks a little, "Right... I'd like to treat you to dinner, usual place."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Oh? 6* He notes dryly, reaching up and taking off his glasses, folding them and putting them in his pocket.
<Seraphna> "Least I could do with you buying me the new car and all."
* Seraphna looks back at the grave, not a hint of the previous events in her voice.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Why do I sense alterior motive in your actions?
<Seraphna> "Because that's normal instinct. However, I don't have one."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Is that so?
* Seraphna looks up at him and smiles. "How can I expect anything if we can't be friends first?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Because you don't see things in terms of friendship. If you did, you'd accept what was between us already.
<Seraphna> "I do. I made a silly mistake. I'm glad to have you as my friend."
<DeathStar> <Darien> So all that was a silly mistake? 6* He notes now, turning to face her fully.
<Seraphna> "Stupid mistake too. Dumb? Careless? How about emotionally void?"
<Seraphna> "Selfish too."
<DeathStar> <Darien> You can't put the pink elephant out of the room so easily.
<Seraphna> "I can start ushering it."
<DeathStar> <Darien> How very like you. 6* He notes, his tone disapproving.
<Seraphna> "And I don't think running away and hiding from you for months until things blow over again is the right way of doing it."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien turns to glance up at the sky, spreading his arms, despite it not raining. He takes a deep breath, letting it out. "You're a fool, Angela." 6* He notes, his tone soft, despite his harsh words.
* Seraphna looks down. "I thought we all knew that already..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> You're a fool because you don't change. 6* He lowers his arms. "You claimed there was no interest in me for years. And then six months after the love of my life dies, you tell me the truth. And now you want to retract it as a stupid mistake. You've always been like this. Going after Xanatos when he loved Erevis. Being his second place consocilation prize.
* Seraphna closes her eyes and looks down more. "I'm sorry Darien... I'm afraid."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien brings his fist down on Ariel's tombstone. "Afraid? Don't give me that line. Grow up for once and stop being second place to men who love each other. We both know Ariel is always going to be in my heart, and that I won't let anyone replace her. Stop being a second place runner up prize, goddammit."
<DeathStar> *another
* Seraphna lets a tear fall down her cheek as she nods dumbly. She slowly looks up at him. "Darien... that's why it was a stupid mistake."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leans on the tombstone. "And can you just truly dismiss those feelings? Be honest right here and now."
<Seraphna> "No, probably never, and because of that I'll bottle them up until the end of time... because frankly even a friendship with you..."
<Seraphna> "Damnit Darien. I'm human. I can't just drop my emotions on a whim."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Neither can I, Angela.
<Seraphna> "I don't want you to. I don't want to keep talking like this or dwelling on it. We know how we both feel now, we can get over it with time."
<Seraphna> "But I'd ratehr do it as your friend."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stares at her, and slips back on his sunglasses, as if putting a wall up between them. He looks back at her grave.
* Seraphna looks at it too.
<Seraphna> "She desrves you, even now. And I have no right to move in on that."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I miss her too much to breathe. Every day is agony. All I can think about is bringing her back. Through any means possible.
<Seraphna> "That's love."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Or obsession.
<Seraphna> "That's for you to decide."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien puts his hands into his coat pockets. "I'm going to pass on dinner." 6* He turns and begins to walk off.
<Seraphna> "Darien..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stops, but doesn't look back.
<Seraphna> "Please... don't make yourself a stranger to me."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I need time to think. 6* He begins to walk again.
* Seraphna nods quietly and looks back at the grave.
* Seraphna whispers softly, "I hope you know just how damned lucky you were."
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: High School
<DeathStar> 6* Aya gathers her books as the last bell rings
<Seraphna> * Jennifer gathers her own, looking at Aya with a slight frown. "You feeling better Aya?"
<DeathStar> <Aya> Yes. 6* She notes, quickly jotting down assignment pages from the board.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer observes and grins, seeming to decide she's got the old Aya back. "I've been having some issues with math lately... think you could help me out sometime?"
<DeathStar> 6* Aya glances at Jennifer, pausing. "I guess so. Not today, though."
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "That's cool. I need to practice more this afternoon anyways. Neko Sensei is insisting I take up something creative."
<DeathStar> <Aya> What do you plan to take up, then?
<DeathStar> 6* Aya gathers her books, moving for the classroom door.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Music. I'm working more on my guitar." *she nabs her own books, walking with Aya*
<Megumi> 6Megumi gathers up her papers after dismissing the class, seeming in a rush-- she moves past Aya in a hurry, dropping a paper.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya pauses, bending down to pick up the paper.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Um, Sensei...?
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Hey Neko Sensei! Where's the fire?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr waits outside for Aya, and perhaps Megumi. She paces in front of the school
<Megumi> My apologies, I am in a hurry to a meeting...!
<DeathStar> <Aya> You dropped something. 6* She glances at the paper.
* Megumi rushes on down the hall. She dropped one of Jennifer's assignments.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya peers at it, then hands it to Jen.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> *eyes it*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr watches Megumi exit. She makes a whistle sound that sounds like a catcall
<DeathStar> 6* Aya takes a deep breath, and moves to go out herself; at a slower, more calm pace.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer looks up, "Oh, one of THOSE meetings."
<Seraphna> * Jennifer walks along with Aya for the doors.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Huh? Those meetings?
<DeathStar> 6* Aya looks at her, confused.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "I think Neko-Sensei has a date."
<DeathStar> <Aya> Oh. 6* She glances down. "Oh!"
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Who's it with I wonder... that red head that looks like Ms. McCormick?"
<DeathStar> <Aya> ... 6* She doesn't comment, just stepping outside.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hey, Aya. I'm here to walk you home. 6* She calls out, waving her hand. Aya nods once and moves to join Zephyr.
<Seraphna> * Jennifer steps out with her and goes wide eyed at Zephyr. "Hi Miss Zephyr."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Uh, hey. You. Person.
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Jennifer Carmichael. Umm... you were my Dad's Dragoon once."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh, right. The alternate reality person
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods once. "Hi."
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Hi, yeah that's me."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr puts an arm around Aya, leading her back toward home. "See you around, Jenny."
<Seraphna> Jennifer> "Well if you're taking her home I can assume she won't get kidnapped again. See you!"
<DeathStar> 6* Aya waves goodbye to Jennifer and moves off with Zeph.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Chad's Apartment
<DeathStar> 6* Chad Winters would arrive at his apartment, standing in the hallway before opening the door
* Chad`Winters reaches over and unlocks his apartment door, his hand moving to the handle to open it
<DeathStar> 6* Once opened, he would see Aya on the couch with her books, studying like always
* Chad`Winters steps inside and shuts the door behind him. Locking it as per the norm. 1"How was school?"
<DeathStar> <Aya> It was okay. 6* Zephyr pokes her head out of the fridge, quickly shutting it.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh, hi, Chad.
* Chad`Winters glances over towards the kitchen and he moves over, hanging his coat up. He moves to the table and sets his datapad down on it. 1"Thanks for checking in on her Zeph."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> No problem. I'll head on back to my place. 6* She steps away from the fridge and for the door
<Chad`Winters> You're welcome to stay if you want.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> That's okay.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr picks up her trench coat, slipping it over her pink shirt with kittens on it.
<Chad`Winters> You don't want to help Aya on her thesis? 6He grins at her.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Last I checked, I haven't had sex with a girl.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya peers over her shoulder slowly.
<Chad`Winters> But there was that very convincing kiss.
* Chad`Winters taps his lips thoughtfully
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Aya, sweetie, would you like to see some of my drawings?
* Chad`Winters 's draw drops. 1"You wouldn't."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh, I would.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya stares at themboth
<Chad`Winters> Oh well played Zephyr. Well played indeed.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr smirks, moving to the front door to unlock it
<Chad`Winters> But it does make me wonder if you'd actually show her them. 6He studies her
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Mmmm. 6* She reaches into her coat and pulls out a paper. "Aya, come here."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya stares at Zephyr, then Cha
* Chad`Winters tilts his head slightly, a curious look on his face.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya gets up and moves over slowly.
* Chad`Winters leans forward now.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr puts an arm around, pointing at the paper. Aya stares at it, and Zephyr whispers into her ear. Aya's eyes widen
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yep. That big. 6* She nods, putting the paper back into her pocket.
<DeathStar> <Aya> S-Seriously?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods morbidly.
* Chad`Winters rests his hands behind his head as he watches the two.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr ruffles Aya's hair, and unlocks the door now, opening it
<DeathStar> 6* Aya moves back to her spot, in shock awe.
<Chad`Winters> Take it easy Zephyr. 6He just smirks and moves into the kitchen.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr waves her hand and closes the door
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Park
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits on a bench, overlooking the pond. Her hair is cut short like Jamie Lee Curtis, and she's wearing a light coat and with a white shirt and khakis.
<Megumi> 6Megumi moves past the edge of the lake-- paying for a pair of hotdogs from the vendor, waving good-bye.
<DeathStar> 6* The vendor whistles merrily, always pleased to feed the waif
<Megumi> 6Megumi rushes across the water line, searching for her prey.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis isn't hard to spot, sitting there on the bench.
* Megumi moves over to the bench and flops down beside her, heaving.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, tilting her head to observe Megumi, mild surprise on her face. "Megumi Zhenmei. Are you alright?"
<Megumi> J-Just a b-bit tired...
<Megumi> Oh, hello, E-Erevis..! Fancy you are here...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head. "I do not believe I am fancy nor this bench to be fancy."
<Megumi> H-Hungry...?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am not. If you are tired, should you not be at home resting?
* Megumi seems immune to the obliviousness, holding a hot dog to her. 1"Tradition, right?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have already had one.
* Megumi hangs her head.
* Megumi leans up and catches her breath, staring at the two hotdogs.
<DeathStar> 6* They stare back, with goodness
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances back at the pond.
* Megumi sighs loudly, then begins to chomp into the first, gazing at Erevis sideways.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She peers at Megumi as she sighs, arching an eyebrow
* Megumi finishes the first without spilling somehow. She stares at the second a moment. 1"So what brings you here, Erevis?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I enjoy this place.
<Megumi> Why is that?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head. "I find it quiet and relaxing. And the scenary is beautiful."
<Megumi> Oh... did you ...want to be alone?
* Megumi winces slightly.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not mind if you wish to sit here.
<Megumi> Oh. What do you plan to do later?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Return to my apartment.
<Megumi> That is all?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis reaches up to brush bangs that aren't there away, then lowers her hand casually, as if hiding her momentarily slip up.
<Megumi> Would you like to do something else?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am fine.
* Megumi raises her free hand. 1"I know that."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at Megumi again. "I see."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I shall rephrase. I have no desire to do anything else.
<Megumi> Why not?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know. Because I do not?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems to be studying Megumi's outfit now
* Megumi looks at herself, then at Erevis, blinking.
<Megumi> ...
<Megumi> Is ...is there something I dropped?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You look very professional and adult in that costume.
<Megumi> Cost...ume?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods once.
<Megumi> Th-This is not a costume!
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses, blank faced. "Oh. I see. I apologize then."
<Megumi> I am a teacher now. Aya and Miss Carmichael are among my students.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. I am aware.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You should consume your second hotdog before it is wasted
* Megumi pouts a bit. 1"Do I look like I am pretending?"
* Megumi eyes the hotdog, then begins munching on it, too.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers ahead. "You look very good in the outfit."
<Megumi> Oh.
* Megumi brightens a bit and finishes the second in record time.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis rises now, dusting herself off. "I believe I am done with the park for today."
<Megumi> Oh...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns to face Megumi, inclining her head slightly in a bow. "It was nice to see you again, Megumi Zhenmei."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns to go, moving forward
* Megumi follows her with her eyes then sighs loudly.
* Megumi throws her hands up.
<Megumi> Experience life a little, would you..!?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her headback at Megumi, clearly confused. "Are you speaking to yourself?"
<Megumi> No, I am not, beloved Erevis.
<Megumi> To yourself, always yourself.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She tilts her head now. "Are you saying I do not experience life?"
* Megumi frowns slightly, then huffs. 1"Indeed I am."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... I see. Just because I experience and enjoy life in my own way, does not make me less than anyone else. 6* Her tone is harsher now.
<Megumi> Your own way is to keep yourself and avoid all annoyances and difficulties!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If I were to avoid difficulties, I would not come to your aid when you need it.
* Megumi scowls. 1"Oh, you are right, I suppose."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis frowns at Megumi, clearly not happy right now, judging by her rigid stance.
<Megumi> Do you wish to do something, Erevis?
<Megumi> No, I am fine.
<Megumi> Are you hungry, Erevis?
<Megumi> No, I am not.
<Megumi> Hrmph!
<DeathStar> 6* A hand suddenly snatches around Megumi's throat, lifting her up.
<DeathStar> 6* Though there is no hand there
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You mock me?
* Megumi blinks, cutting off a sound shy of surprise, struggling
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis leaves her with barely enough room to speak from her psionic grip. "Are you mocking me, Megumi Zhenmei?"
* Megumi wheezes and stops kicking, opening her eyes and staring harshly. 1If I need to."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares, then attempts to hurl Megumi in the air and into the pond.
* Megumi falls back, twisting in the old cat-like manner, holding her hands back behind her, forming a single crystalling spear that extends into the ground, swinging around it by her palms and landing by the shore, glaring.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns her back on Megumi and begins to walk off
* Megumi turns and eyes the lake, lifting a hand and gathering up a sphere of water, then turns and throws her hand forward, hurtling it for the back of Erevis' head.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is hit in the head, getting drenched and her head knocking forward. She reels on Megumi
* Megumi smiles smugly. Try to toss a cat in water, will you?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pulls out the green sphere, forming the emerald sword into a staff.
<DeathStar> 6* She begins to advance on Megumi.
<DeathStar> 6* The vendor sighs at the two. He's seen this show.
* Megumi widens her eyes slightly. 1"Y-You are drawing a weapon on me!?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis swings the staff vertically at Megumi's head.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
* Megumi brings both her hands up, forming immaterial tonfas, crossing to block. 1"Is this a challenge my beloved."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am not your beloved.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis presses down against Megumi's weapons
* Megumi twists her body around to the left, freeing that hand's weapon, leaving the right to start to fail to defend but instead delay as she makes a shot for Erevis' side with her elbow, continuing to move around her.
<Megumi> You will always be my beloved. That is not up to you to decide.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is hit in the side, making a face. She whirls around in a 180 with the staff held outward, and psionically attempts to hold Megumi in place to hit her
* Megumi winces as she doesn't seem to be able to move, so she sends the full-range outward burst to knock Erevis away from her-- if that frees her from behind held, she charges after her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shields the blast with a psionic shield, not budging. A single strand of her hair begins to lose color, turning white.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis swings her staff at Megumi, hoping to get her as she charges forward, releasing her
* Megumi was counting on her previous move-- and takes a rather nasty smack to the head-- toppling over and rolling to the side, but digging a hand to the ground to push herself back to her feet, sending one upward, balancing on her hands to kick straight up from a low stance for Erevis' chest/chin.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is hit and stumbles back, using the staff as a support to keep standing
* Ari[AWAY] is now known as Ariel
* Megumi springs forward, almost literally pouncing for her.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes her coming, and attempts to use psionics to reflect Megumi up and over her, but her abilities fail momentarily, to her surprise. She's pounced and falls backwards.
* Megumi shoves her hands for Erevis' shoulders, her knees trailing to either side of her. She focuses, putting pressure from her manifest through her hands to help maintain her hold. 1"Understand..!?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I refuse. 6* She says stubbornly, attempting to rise up.
<Megumi> You cannot!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I can do as I please.
<Megumi> I told you from the very start I will not force you into anything, but you will not change my mind!
<Megumi> What I know and love is as it is. Whether you return those feelings is your own problem. My mind is made up.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis leans her head forward as high as she can. "I cannot stop your feelings, but I do not have to return them."
<Megumi> No, you do not.
* Megumi twitches a bit, but seems to lose heart.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances to the side, shamed she lost.
<Megumi> It was a request from someone very important to me. That is all.
<Megumi> Despite how important it may be to me, the fact this person wanted it... meant much more.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Megumi. "And who would want you to have these feelings?"
* Megumi twitches a little more, then shakes her head. 1"No, the promise was in regards to you, Erevis."
<Megumi> You have the potential to be so much more. It was very dear to someone.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not understand. Who would want that?
<Megumi> I cannot tell you. At least, not as you are.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If you do not tell me, then how am I suppose to care that someone desires it?
* Megumi lifts her hands, almost looking guilty, and sits up, brushing off her uniform.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits up now
<Megumi> I am unsure telling you would prompt anything positive.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... Very well. 6* Her tone is darker and she rises to her feet.
<DeathStar> 6* She scoops up the emerald sphere, and pockets it again
<Megumi> This person was very important to myself and Durran-- and would know you better than him or myself.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances over her shoulder.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know who you are talking about. I know no such person.
<Megumi> You know her very well.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just frowns. She clearly isn't getting it.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Goodbye, Megumi Zhenmei
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns and walks away.

<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFt-
<DeathStar> Location: Angela's House
<DeathStar> 6* And so, Angela has the house to herself
* Seraphna works in her lab quietly, sighing to herself.
<DeathStar> 6* There's a knock on the door.
* Seraphna blinks and gets up from her desk, walking out to the door and opening up.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands there, holding a box of pizza. "Dinner."
* Seraphna blinks a bit in surprise and smiles, nodding and opening the door all the way, letting him in,
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps in, reaching up and removing the sunglasses. He's in the same outfit as before, looking as if he's been walking around in it. He sets the box on the table.
* Seraphna steps into the kitchen and snags two plates, putting them on the table. "Want something to drink?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shakes his head, sitting down, leaning back in his seat.
* Seraphna takes a seat as well after grabbing a soda, setting it down and opening the pizza box.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien reaches over, setting his pizza on his plate. He seems to be thinking, then speaks. "I think I can ignore the elephant for now, if you can."
<Seraphna> "I'm good at ignoring elephants."
* Seraphna puts a slice on her plate, opening her can of soda.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods. He takes a bite of the pizza, chewing it. A date or not, it's hard to say.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Megumi's House
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sits in her bed, sighing, glancing out the window at the darkness
<DeathStar> 6* Sliding down in the sheets, Zephyr frowns, peering at the ceiling now, muttering under her breath about being alone again.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Chad's Apartment
<DeathStar> 6* Aya closes her books, getting up and kissing Chad on the cheek. "Night, Chad."
<Chad`Winters> Night princess. 6He smiles at her.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya smiles and moves into her room, closing the door, leaving Chad alone in the apartment.
* Chad`Winters slips his feet onto the couch and lays out, resting his hand behind his head as he watches the Holovid.
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Erevis' Apartment
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits with only a single light, wearing nothing but a robe. She draws something by the faint light, a slight frown on her face, apparantly brooding.
<DeathStar> 6* She sets the pad down, a drawing of Megumi Zhenmei and Ariel. Back as they were before the time skip. Rising, she moves to look out the window.
<DeathStar> 6* She frowns, stepping out, and moving to the park despite being dressed in a robe, perhaps to search for something or someone.
<DeathStar> 6* Arriving at the park, Erevis moves along it, looking about, getting weird looks from late night couples.
* Megumi has remained sitting on the bench, or rather, next to it. At this point, she's leaned against it, her head resting back and stop the seat.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves around to stand in front of Megumi, psionically moving her head if she's asleep to wake her. "I do experience life." 6* She states firmly.
<Megumi> If you say so.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I may not experience life as she did, but I no less enjoy what I do and how I do it. I may not be her, that you have come to idolize, but at least I will not betray you and what you desired to do.
<Megumi> You are right.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... ...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares at her, as if waiting for something more.
* Megumi opens one eye to peer at her. 1"It was important to yourself."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am not that person.
<Megumi> You are that person with less experiences.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You desire me to become like her, but why do you not desire me to become something else? You know how that person decided to end things. I desire to change the future. To make it better.
<Megumi> I am not asking you become her. That is a decision left to your own whims.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. And I am making the changes. Every day.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> To avoid being like her.
<Megumi> You need not avoid everything.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No, not everything. Only a relationship with you. Despite your desire for it, it is the catalyst for all things.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That is why I can only be your friend.
<Megumi> You can be so sad sometimes.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I cannot deny that.
<Megumi> No-- You. You can truly be sad.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She tilts her head.
<Megumi> That is the only way I can describe throwing away happiness in exchange for the easy way out.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You think this is the easy way out?
<Megumi> Things have already been made easy for you. You know what 'should' happen, how it 'should' happen. You have already been given numerous chances to make it all the better-- yet you have instead chosen to close yourself off and just throw it all away from the start.
* Megumi crosses her arms, closing her eyes again. 1"Thanks to you, I knew what I was getting into the first time. It did not deter me."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<DeathStar> 6* She lowers her head. "You must think poorly of me."
<Megumi> I am disappointed.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods once. She turns and takes a step away, then another, her eyes closed.
<Megumi> Running away again?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I...do not know what to do. Your words sting. You think me a coward. You are disappointed in me. You mock me. And yet I can only do what I believe is right. I do not know what else to do."
<Megumi> Have you ever considered asking for help?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not need to ask. You all present your ideas on what I should do.
<Megumi> That is not what I asked.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have not. Because you all have your own agenda in what I should do.
<Megumi> Oh?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. 6* She looks back at Megumi
<Megumi> Is my agenda so meddlesome?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You desire me to be with you. To be yours. You are not exactly unbiased.
<Megumi> No, but am I unfair?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Sometimes I feel so.
<Megumi> Oh. My apologies, then.
<Megumi> I have been unfair.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<DeathStar> -SCENE SHIFT-
<DeathStar> Location: Alexander Building
<DeathStar> 6* Eve sits alone at a table, glancing at a book. Alexander smiles politely as he approaches, causing her to glance up, a slightly dubious expression on her face. <Alexander> Ah, Eve, alone again, are we? Do you mind if I keep you company for a bit? Perhaps bring in some food for us to eat? 6* Eve stares, then nods once, reluctantly.
<DeathStar> -END-
