* Logging #erevis to 'logs\EsperNet\#erevis.20071203.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-5881.19
<DeathStar> Location: L.A.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya reads a science book on the couch
* Chad`Winters tools away in his apartment room
* Angela sits up with a gasp, starign forward, waking suddenly from a nap in her room. She sighs, putting a hand to her face, feeling cold sweat.
* Drasek sits in his chair, drinking beer and watching some sport.
<Drasek> NRP: On the holovid of course.
<Angela> NRP: We know he's looking into the peephole that shows Erevis bed.
* Ariel is found on the roof, going through her exercises.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is on the roof, performing training with a stick weapon. She spins it rapidly from hand to hand, and seems to be excellent.
* Angela sighs softly, staring at her hand still. She pulls away from it, shaking her head as she pulls herself out bed, walking to the shower.
<Drasek> You learning anything interesting, Aya? *he glances over at her*
<DeathStar> <Aya> Yep.
* Chad`Winters scratches his nose as he eyes his datapad
<Drasek> Oh? Like photosynthesis or whatever that is?
<DeathStar> <Aya> I'm learning human anatomy.
* Drasek stares. "That's uh. Pretty advanced."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya beams at the complicated
* Angela starts to wash up, closing her eyes the whole time, humming a tune gently.
<Drasek> I dare say you might be smarter than me, bit.
* Ariel finishes her kata, and turns to watch Erevis a moment. "...You've put a lot of work into that."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It would be illogical not to put forth one's best effort in something. 6* She notes without turning to face Ariel, still working.
<DeathStar> <Aya> Really? Daddy says the same thing about me when talking about you, too!
<Ariel> "No, it's not. But you seem devoted."
* Drasek arches a brow. "Well he may be a git. But he's right."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You do not practice with your sword in the same manner?
<Ariel> "It's part of who I am. I wasn't used to you being so... martial."
* Angela opens her eyes, staring at the tiles as she pulls her hands out of her shampoo soaked hair, looking at the merest reflection of herself. "Start over again... forget the past and move on..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And why is that? 6* She pauses now, glancing at Ariel with interest.
* Chad`Winters scratches the back of his head and he reaches over grabbing a tool and begins to work on something in the left arm of the tact suit
<DeathStar> <Aya> You can borrow it after I'm done, if you wanna.
* Ariel glances out at the city, "You never seemed so interested in being able to fight before."
<Drasek> Oh no thanks, bit. I'm not much of a book person.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head. "Perhaps you did not look closely enough."
* Ariel nods, closing her eyes a moment, "...prehaps you're right."
* Angela starts to rise her body off, going through other grooming duties, before turning off the water, finishing the washing away of her grief before stepping out, reaching for her towel.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves to the edge of the roof, placing the wooden stick down, gazing out over the city. "I imagine one never truly knows another as well as one perceives."
* Drasek drums his fingers on the chair before standing up quickly. "Are you bloody joking!? That's a foul, mate! A foul!" he shakes his hands at the holovid.
<DeathStar> 6* Suddenly a high pitched noise goes through Drasek's head
* Drasek winces and grabs his head. "Gah!" He falls down to one knee.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya stares at Drasek, hiding behind her tiny book, staring at him. Within 10 seconds, the noise stops.
* Drasek leans forward, placing his hands on the floor, breathing slowly. "...bugger." He manages to get out, before he falls back onto his ass. "What was that?"
* Angela starts to dry off, toweling her long hair, wrapping it up in the towel, looking at herself in a mirror. "God I let this grow long..."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya peers at him.
* Drasek slowly glances up at Aya. "You didn't hear that, bit?"
<Ariel> "What was that old saying... the wisest man is the one who realizes he knows nothing?"
<DeathStar> <Aya> I wasn't paying attention. 6* She notes, warily.
* Chad`Winters runs his hands through his hairs again and he sets his datapad down. He turns and moves out.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That is illogical. He cannot be the wisest man on the account of knowing nothing.
* Drasek slowly glances around and pulls himself up to his feet. "It was a...noise." He frowns, and eyes his beer.
* Angela finishes toweling off, getting dressed in fresh clothes, looking over the table, where most girls might keep a collection of accessories, she's got weapons.
* Drasek picks it up and eyes the fact that's empty, he sighs and glances around. "Bloody hell." he mumbles, but whether it's over the beer or the noise...well who knows.
* Ariel shakes her head, sitting down. "It's the realization that, despite everything he knows, it's only the smallest fraction of what there is to know, that makes him wise."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis considers that.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya studies Drasek
* Angela finishes and sits back, laying down on her bed again and staring at the cieling, wondering what to do with her day.
* Chad`Winters looks over at Aya. "How's the studying going princess?
<DeathStar> <Aya> Fun. Daddy, I think Mr. Drasek has a brain tumor.
* Drasek steps over and places the beer on the table, he glances up the Chad. "Hey, mate. Did you hear a noise a moment ago?"
<Chad`Winters> Terminal? 6He looks at Aya.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya shrugs.
<Drasek> I said. Did you hear a noise a moment ago. *he repeats, eyeing Chad*
<Ariel> "Some people become quite learned. They know more than groups of other people ever will. But they become focused on their ability, that they act like they know everything... never realizing that they really know an insigificant amount."
* Ariel shakes her head, "Still... it's a little too cerebral for my tastes."
* Chad`Winters looks over at Drasek now, who's less important than his daughter. 1"What kind of noise?"
<Drasek> High pitched, really painful. *he pauses* You didn't do anything with you little tinker toys, did you?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies Ariel. "And what group do you feel you fall into?"
* Angela picks up a datapad, going through designs she's built up, biting her lower lip a little as she considers, getting bored, she pulls off the towel from her head and pats the rest dry, letting it flow freely as she gets up, heading out of her apartment.
<Chad`Winters> Like in the upper frequencys high pitched?
<Drasek> Enough to put me on my knees. And only real expensive liquor can do that.
* Ariel shrugs a little, "I don't like to get caught up on what I know, and what I don't. What I can do, and what I can't. As long as I do what I can, and keep moving forward... I feel I'm on the right track."
<Chad`Winters> Like the high pitched level that puts dogs in their places?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see.
* Angela stops outside Zephyr's door, knocking.
<DeathStar> 6* No resposne.
<Angela> "Zeph? You there?"
* Drasek shrugs. "I dunno. I'm not a bloody sound technician."
<DeathStar> 6* No resposne.
<Ariel> "You?"
* Angela shrugs, heading down a bit more to knock on Darien's door.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I find myself constantly burdened with knowledge. There is little time to reflect on what I feel is correct.
<DeathStar> 6* No resposne.
<Chad`Winters> Than no, no I didn't.
<Angela> "Darien?"
<DeathStar> 6* No resposne.
* Angela shrugs a bit more and steps out into the lobby.
<DeathStar> 6* Drasek gets hit by another high pitched noise.
<Drasek> GAH! *he falls down onto a knee again, hands clasped over his ears.
* Angela glances over and eyes Drasek.
<Angela> "You okay?"
* Chad`Winters eyes Drasek now. 1"You hearing it now?
<DeathStar> 6* Aya peers at Drasek
* Ariel nods slowly. "I can understand why you would be fond of your quiet time then."
<Drasek> NO YOU PONCE I'M PRETENDING!
<DeathStar> 6* It keeps up this time.
* Chad`Winters looks at Aya. 1"Definetly a brain tumor.
<DeathStar> <Aya> You should help him.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya peers at Drasek, looking a bit frightened.
* Angela walks over and checks on him. "Drasek?"
* Drasek falls onto his other knee, reaching out to slam a hand into the coffee table, enough to break it. "GAHHH!"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks out at the city. "Yes."
* Chad`Winters eyes Aya than nods. He pulls out his datapad scanning around.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya hides behind a pillow.
* Angela tries to guide Dras to sit down and not break anything else. "Okay, easy..."
<DeathStar> 6* The noise stops again.
<Angela> "Easy Dras..."
* Drasek doesn't move with Angela, he just kneels there, breathing slowly. "Tell me easy one more time." He says with a seething tone.
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue as he eyes his datapad.
<Ariel> "I wonder... how the others are doing. It's so still out here."
<Angela> "easy..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not know.
<Angela> "Did you pick up anything wrong, Chad?"
* Drasek slowly looks up at Angela, thinking she's a moron, he decides to just sit back in the floor.
* Chad`Winters grunts in response, eyeing Drasek.
* Angela inspects Dras, "Okay, lemme see your eyes a sec..."
<DeathStar> <Aya> Is Mr. Drasek going to die?
* Drasek just sits there, not moving to stop her, but not being helpful either.
<Chad`Winters> Drasek, where's Erevis?
<Angela> "Hey, be helpful, trying to make sure you're not going to keel over and die."
<Drasek> Where do you think? *he eyes Angela* I'm fine. Just make that ringing stop.
* Chad`Winters shakes his head at Drasek and moves to the roof
* Ariel shakes her head, not wanting to dwell on it. She sits there quietly.
<Angela> "Ringing in the head is often a cause for concern in us mere mortals."
<Drasek> This is a shell. It isn't affected like your bodies are. *he says after he calms slightly*
* Chad`Winters steps onto the roof and looks over at Erevis. 1"Erevis, did you hear anything within the last 10 minutes besides Ariel"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis also says nothing, looking out over L.A. quietly. It would seem their bonding conversaion is at an end. She glances at Chad. "I have heard lots of sounds."
<Angela> "It's affected some ways, I assume it can be others." *she grins a little*
<Chad`Winters> Right. Something in the more high pitched area. Enough to drop you to your knees?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> As I have not dropped to my knees, I would assume not.
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue. 1"Than something's affecting Drasek." 6He turns, heading back inside.
* Drasek just chooses not to reply, he shifts his head upward. "Bloody hell." He mumurs.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head, then turns and follows Chad into the building.
<Angela> "You're 'shell' is too old to hear below the 20 decible mark... but I didn't hear anything either... so it's probably nothing physical."
<Ariel> "...I wonder what that's about."
* Drasek eyes Angela. "Can you give me some space?"
* Chad`Winters moves over to the bridge and slides it forward, pulling a small medical kit out. He opens it and pulls out a syringe and moves to Drasek. 1"Good news, I think there's an outside force causing it. Bad news, it's only affecting you."
* Angela nods and sits back a bit.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> A medical kit would not aid him.
<Drasek> Bloody brilliant. *he says with a slight laugh*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps into the room, shaking some snow off her shoulders with a flick of her hand.
<Angela> "You're gonna put him under or something?"
<Drasek> He can't even if he wanted.
<Chad`Winters> It's a sedative. I'm not going to have him freaking out and hurting someone next time it occurs again.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> As I said, it will not aid him.
<Drasek> ...what part of 'shell' do you people not understand?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis kneels there, reaching up with a gloved hand to touch Drasek' to look into Drasek's eyes
* Angela grins. "Hey Chad, let's see if this 'shell' of his is really as godly as he says."
* Drasek shifts his eyes to looks at Erevis now.
* Chad`Winters glances over at Erevis than looks at Angela, grunting at her.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are being illogically dense, Angela Bennet.
* Ariel heads inside after a few moments. She's had enough of the sights.
<Chad`Winters> Aya, can you study in your room? 6He looks at her.
* Angela looks at her. "Maybe."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya pouts and walks off.
<Drasek> Aint no maybe about it you hapless twit.
* Chad`Winters looks at Angela. 1"Grow up."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lets go of Drasek, then sits crosslegged in front of him, watching him.
* Angela shrugs it off and sits back a bit more, looking away.
* Kuroichigo has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Drasek eyes Erevis. "...we're going to wait for it to happen again aren't we?"
<Chad`Winters> Anything Erevis? 6He pulls his datapad back out, setting it up to scan for frequencys again.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. That is my plan.
* Drasek groans. "Be warned. I may hit you." He just tilts his head back to rest on the chair behind him.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I doubt it, but you may try if it makes you feel you can adjust to your pain better.
<Chad`Winters> It's possible that whatever it is, the frequency's effecting the Hyperspace that makes you up.
* Drasek grins slightly at Erevis before looking towards Chad. "Well isn't that just brilliant. Some wanker decides he wants to fuck with my head."
<Chad`Winters> If I can pinpoint the freqency I might be able to nullify it.
* Angela grunts.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at Angela once.
<Drasek> If. *he repeats*
<Chad`Winters> Angela, get a datapad ready and scan the upper levels of the freqency wavelengths
* Angela pulls it out, grunting a bit again and turning it on, setting up the scan.
<Chad`Winters> You'd rather I lie to you and tell you I will pinpoint it?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just has a slight look of disapproval, glancing back at Drasek
* Drasek eyes Chad getting defensive and just sighs, looking back to Erevis.
* Angela just has a slight look of being put off.
<Drasek> So if you don't. *he says finally* I'm screwed, then?
<Chad`Winters> Maybe.
<Drasek> Let's get those fingers crossed then.
<DeathStar> 6* Drasek is hit again by the painful noise.
* Chad`Winters glances at Drasek. He begins eyeing his datapad.
* Angela eyes her own.
<Drasek> GRAH! *he struggles to keep his scream back but it still escapes, his hands clutch his ears again.*
* Chad`Winters shifts his scanner to search for a location
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis removes her glove and touches his temples
* Angela works on her own scan wordlessly.
<DeathStar> 6* The scanners go haywire with the burst of unknown frequency, so high up there that the datapads can't make heads or tails of it, like space noise.
<DeathStar> 6* However, it's definitely coming from within L.A.
* Drasek does keep the scream back, but still breaths quickly, eyes shut, teeth clenched.
<Angela> "Fascinating... so he's not cracked."
* Chad`Winters tries to pinpoint a general starting zone for it
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I worry if your first assumption is that he is broken.
<Angela> "Let's pinpoint it then..." *she does the same with Chad*
<Angela> "I don't know anything about you Progenitors."
* Drasek writhes slightly, despight Erevis helping, it's still no picknick.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Perhaps not, but there are certain courtesies one gives to one being from another.
<Drasek> NRP: LOL picnic
<Chad`Winters> Whatever frequency they're using, it's unknown.
<Angela> "Most people assume I'm crazy when something strange happens with me. Call it habit of experience. I blame my elders."
* Angela keeps working as she talks.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If one blames others, then one should be even more condemned for not understanding the pain of others.
<DeathStar> 6* The noise stops finally again, having lasted a full minute longer than before.
<Angela> "I'll be more open minded, Ere."
* Drasek slumps back, his hands hanging down at his side, he breathes like he's been running a couple of miles. "...bugger."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pulls back her hand, slipping her glove on.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Chad Winters, may I look at your datapad?
* Angela looks at Chad, "Get it?"
<Chad`Winters> No. It's in L.A. for sure. 6He hands his datapad to Erevis
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes the datapad, moving over to a seat to glance at it.
<Chad`Winters> It's possibly the frequency is similar to the frequency that Hyperspace runs at, just out of phase.
* Drasek opens his eyes slowly. "Whoever it is, i'm going to make them pay."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am sure Asmodeus will be pleased to hear that.
<Chad`Winters> The effect is lasting longer meaning whatever they're using to create it, is getting more stable each use.
* Drasek slowly glances at Erevis, his face contorts into anger. "Where?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Within the city. I believe he is, as the humans would say, calling you out. 6* She seems to be able to read the frequencies.
<Drasek> Fine. I'll take the git out. Just tell me where to go. *he pulls himself up to his feet*
<Chad`Winters> You're staying here Drasek.
<Angela> "So you think it's a Dark One?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is a trap, you realize.
<Drasek> Like hell i'm staying here. I'm going to waltz right in there and spring the trap. Git messes with my head, I rip off his.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sighs. "How typical."
<Angela> "He certainly acts like a man, Ere."
<Chad`Winters> The closer you get to the source Drasik, the more intense it will be. Hell he might be forcing your shell to shatter.
<Drasek> Then i'll just sit here and die. Good plan.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Unfortunately, you cannot die here. He is most liking pinging your location to find all of us.
<Drasek> Unfortunately, eh? *he glances at Erevis* Where do I go?
* Chad`Winters looks at Erevis, a grim look on his face. 1"We need to move him than."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will take Drasek to Asmodeus.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands up, pocketing the datapad into her trench coat.
<Angela> "You're not planning on taking him alone... I hope."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. I am.
<Drasek> Can't risk your lives for mine. *he notes, pulling his coat on*
* Angela stares at her, then looks at Chad.
* Chad`Winters pinches the bridge of his nose.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis reaches up, taking her hairpin and doing her hair into a ponytail.
<Chad`Winters> I'll follow, but I'll give you a decent range incase someone tries to move in behind you. 6He sighs and moves off to his room
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It would be reckless to leave Aya alone here. Drasek and I can handle ourselves, Chad Winters.
<Angela> "Likewise."
* Angela sighs. "We'd be unable to forgive ourselves if you two died."
<Chad`Winters> Take Ariel than. 6He crosse shis arms.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I would not wish to impose on her. 6* She opens the front door, glancing at Drasek. "Can you walk?"
<Drasek> Don't worry, i'll make sure Erevis can escape if it leads to that. *he steps over to the door*
<Chad`Winters> Erevis, where's the location.
<Drasek> I'll run if I have too.
<Angela> "At least tell us in case you need evac."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just gives him an incline of the head. "It would be reckless of me to tell you that, and you were to walk into a Dark One trap. They might expect you to do such a thing."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps outside after Drasek, closing it.
* Chad`Winters moves over to Erevis, holding his hand out. 1"Let me see my datapad back for a second."
<Drasek> NRP: PWNED!
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just gives him a look. "I will return it when I come back."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis opts to steal Darien's car again.
* Drasek glances at Erevis. "Lead me there and then you can leave." He moves to get into the passenger's seat.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will keep that in mind, Drasek.
* Angela scratches her head. "She can be... illogically stubborn."
* Drasek closes his eyes when he sits down.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis cranks up the car, shifts gears, and drives out onto the streets.
<Angela> "I'll go tell Ariel... you seen her around?"
<Chad`Winters> No she's not. 6He taps his head. 1"Check her room. After that, keep working on trying to pinpoint that frequency, maybe we can still nullify it.
<Angela> "Sure thing."
<Chad`Winters> And keep your eyes open. If Erevis is right, they migh have sent Dark Ones to check this place out.
* Angela taps a few buttons and pulls out a chip. "A copy of the data."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya pokes her head around a chair, having been spying
<DeathStar> <Aya> Daddy should have put a tracking device on Miss. Erevis
<DeathStar> 6* Aya nods sagely.
<Chad`Winters> She has my datapad. 6He looks at Aya.
<DeathStar> <Aya> So give the info to Miss. Angela's!
* Angela heads to Ariel's room, knocking on the door. She pats Aya's head on the way. "Daddy needs to learn to keep spares."
* Ariel answers the door after a moment, "Yes?"
<Angela> "Ere and Dras ran off to battle Dark Ones, we're trying to track em."
* Ariel sighs and nods. She hates it when people run off half cocked
* Angela pulls some hair behind her shoulder. "I'm gonna work on this signal... keep you posted."
<Chad`Winters> Give me your datapad Angela.
* Angela starts working right there, she blinks, looking at Chad. "Sure."
* Angela hands it over.
* Chad`Winters takes it, typing on it.
* Chad`Winters brings up map of the city and studies it now.
* Ariel heads out to meet with the others and find out the situation
* Chad`Winters grabs Ariel, stopping her.
* Angela would think the others are standing next to her.
* Ariel wonders why the others would be in her bedroom then
<Drasek> NRP: *Stares*
<Chad`Winters> NRP: I assumed others meant Ere and Dras. GAWD!
<Ariel> NRP: ...yes. I'm going to ask... Erevis and Drasek... where Erevis and Drasek ran off to.
<Chad`Winters> NRP: Right, I didn't say I was still all here.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr walks in the front door. "I'm hooooome!"
* Chad`Winters looks back at Zephyr. 1"Even better. Another person to help."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pauses, then turns around to escape.
<Chad`Winters> Drasek's walking into a trap.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> And probably loving it.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr turns back around, putting her hands into her coat.
* Angela smiles at Zeph, "There you are...:
<Chad`Winters> Probably. 6He notes picking up his datapad's tracking signal.
<DeathStar> 6* The datapad beeps with a message.
* Chad`Winters eyes the message, opening it.
<DeathStar> Message: Hello, Chad Winters.
<Chad`Winters> Ok, who taught Erevis how to use my datapad properly? 6He looks around seriously
* Angela shrugs. "I've been in mourning."
<DeathStar> Message: Plz dont track me. :)
* Angela stares.
<Angela> "Did she type a smiley?"
<Ariel> "...she really has changed."
* Chad`Winters leaps back, looking freaked out by Angela being so close.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stares.
<DeathStar> 6* The datapad picks up another wavelength disruption field. Poor Drasek
<Ariel> "What's that?"
* Chad`Winters begins typing speedily on the datapad. He looks at Ariel and leaps back again, again freaked out.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I wonder who taught her to use the datapad. I'm guessing Marcus or Dias.
* Ariel wonders if Chad has gone senile enough to forget who's in a room so quickly.
* Chad`Winters begins typing again, trying to pinpoint the epicenter of the wavelength disruption
<Chad`Winters> I probably did. 6He narrows his eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stares. "You send messages like that? You're a big ol' softie."
<Drasek> NRP: <Marcus> Yeah, take all the credit, asshole.
<Angela> "What'd he write?"
<DeathStar> 6* The attack ends. The datapad has the basic location - somewhere near the middle of the city, where lots of tall buildings are.
<Chad`Winters> I got you guys a rough estimate of the location. 6He sets the datapad down on the table and has it project a 3D representation of the area.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stares.
<Ariel> "Very... public."
<Chad`Winters> I more keen on the tall buildings.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Wow, you really did teach her. You left off am.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr makes a faux swoon motion.
<Chad`Winters> Har har. 6He zooms out several blocks.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Can you scan for Dark Ones?
<Chad`Winters> No, but I scan for energy outputs. 6He does so.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You realize the military might find the same scans, and arrive, and kill us. And I'm too young to die, right, mommy?
<Chad`Winters> I'd be more worried about Legion.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eeps.
<Ariel> "You think Legion will be here?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> He was here a few days ago.
<Chad`Winters> If I'm right, yes. But it'll be a good time to find out if he's working in tandem with the Dark Ones or not.
<Angela> "You think they're connected/"
<Angela> ?
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue, waiting for the scan to finish.
<DeathStar> 6* One building in particular has a way higher output than the others.
<Chad`Winters> Best bet it'll be coming from the roof because it gives fewer escape routes....6He eyes a building. 1"That one."
<Chad`Winters> That's the target.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Does anyone else hear the word 'Trap' screaming in their mind?
* Angela crosses her arms, looking it over. "Yep."
<Ariel> "That was obvious from the start."
<Angela> "Trap."
<Chad`Winters> It is a trap. But that's where Erevis and Drasek are heading.
<Chad`Winters> I'll work on getting you a layout from here.
* Angela runs her hand through her hair and sighs softly. "So this means you're not coming with?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You're sending me? 6* She looks agast.
<Chad`Winters> I'm not leaving Aya behind incase they pegged this place. 6He looks at Zephyr. 1"It's your choice."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm too young and cute to go die.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr gives him cute brown eyes.
<Chad`Winters> Than stay and hold the fort with me. 6He glances at the others. 1"I'll keep an ear out on the police radio and work on getting you guys an escape route."
<Angela> "I go grab some weapons... someone's gotta go."
* Chad`Winters eyes Angela than looks at Zephyr, pointing at Angela
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Now Angela's doing the word thing.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You two are related.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr smiles knowingly.
<Chad`Winters> Oh that was low.
* Ariel shakes her head a little, smirking
* Angela comes back a bit later, sliding a sword under her coat. "So who is coming?"
* Chad`Winters tosses Ariel an ear comm. 1"Make sure you and Angela keep in touch with us.
<Chad`Winters> I believe it's the mother daughter team this time. 6He eyes the location scaling back more. 1"You guys need to move fast too."
<Angela> "Why?"
<Chad`Winters> Because Erevis and Drasek are ahead of you?
<Angela> "Good enough."
* Angela looks at Ariel. "I'm afraid I can't do the leaping over rooftops thing."
* Ariel nods. "...I'm tempted to just call a taxi."
<Angela> "That or you could carry me. Your choice."
<Chad`Winters> Well whatever you do, just remember Erevis and Draseks life may or may not rest in the balance.
<Angela> "May or may not...?"
* Ariel considers... the taxi really is tempting...
* Chad`Winters eyes the clock on the wall.
<Ariel> "...let's go."
<Angela> "Alright."
* Angela waits to follow her.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr waves goodbye. "Have fun."
* Ariel reluctant carries Angela as she makes her best time towards the location of the signal
* Angela would be extremely easy for a mighty Dragoon to carry.
<Angela> "So are you worried about her?"
<Ariel> "...who?"
<Angela> "Erevis."
* Ariel gives Angela a look, wondering why she'd need to ask a question like that.
<Angela> "I mean, she's not the same Erevis we knew."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... I wonder if they'll make up
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr takes a seat.
<Chad`Winters> There's a better chance that I might smile.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr tickles Chad.
<Ariel> "...she's still Erevis."
* Chad`Winters blinks, looking down at Zephyr.
* Angela nods softly. "You two didn't reforge the bond, did you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pouts.
<Chad`Winters> Are you trying to tickle me?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Maybe.
<Ariel> "I don't know what'd happen if I tried... it wasn't a normal break."
<Chad`Winters> I see. 6He narrows his eyes then moves his hand to tickle her back.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr giggles, slapping at his hand. "Stop it."
<Angela> "I've found the seperation of time leaves a sort of hole."
<Chad`Winters> Ow! 6He holds his hand.
<Angela> "I felt it with both Spade and Darien..." *she looks away a little*
* Ariel doesn't reply, and keeps moving towards the target
<Chad`Winters> Hitting's not fair. 6He narrows his eyes.
<Angela> "Look... Ari... for what it's worth, I'm sorry."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm a girl. I can hit.
<Chad`Winters> Well that's just sexist.
* Ariel nods, but doesn't say anything.
<Angela> "We've had a lot of differences... but I'd like to be friends, somehow."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, too bad.
* Chad`Winters grunts and moves his hand back in, going for her sides this time
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr lets out a startled laugh
<Chad`Winters> Not so lippy now, are you?
* Angela sighs a bit when Ariel doesn't respond, but doesn't seem overly surprised at this point.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr kicks him in the chin.
* Kit exits Erevis room quietly and peers at the lobby, just staring at Zephyr kicking Chad.
* Kit is now known as Megumi
* ChanServ sets mode: -o Megumi
* Chad`Winters scowls as he rubs his shin, hopping back.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Serves you right
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr huffs at Chad, turning back to eye the datapad.
* Ariel just keeps moving towards the target... they need a car
<Megumi> <Megumi> ...Hm, hm.
* Megumi starts to laugh.
* Chad`Winters sticks his tongue out then gives her a wry smirk. He looks back over at the 3d hologram the datapad is projecting.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at Megumi, raising a brow.
* Chad`Winters quirks his eyebrow at Megumi now
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh, it's you.
<Megumi> <Megumi> Yes.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Erevis is in mortal danger.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr goes back to hologram.
* Megumi rubs her head and stretches her arms, then quirks at a painful angle. 1"Wh-what..!?"
<Angela> "Part of me never even met you till that day in the hospital."
<Chad`Winters> Because Drasek decided to go into an obvious trap.
* Megumi raises her hand and clenches a fist before her face, twitching profusely. 1"..."
<Chad`Winters> Ariel and Angela are moving in to provide back-up.
<DeathStar> 6* ARiel is 3/4ths there.
<Megumi> How... far?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You'd never make it.
<Chad`Winters> Yes, getting angery will solve it. 6He eyes the map now, studing the building's lay out. 6He zooms out pointing their location and where Erevis and Drasek should be.
<Ariel> "...so is this the second time you've asked that since then, or the third?"
<Megumi> That is ...not what I asked.
* Angela smiles softly. "Since then? The second..."
<Megumi> I can move unreasonably, just not very long.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> But it's more logical that just telling you
* Megumi crosses one arm over and holds her other, glancing at the floor as she draws closer. 1"I will not become angry."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr studies Megumi.
<Chad`Winters> It's pointless to move now Megumi. By the time you get their, you'll be so out of steam, you'll be as useful as the appendix.
<Angela> "I guess I'm trying to make another apology here. When I... when Sera first came to see all of these memories... it was a bit of a shock, and overreaction. I'm sorry for judging you so poorly."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks at that, not knowing the word.
* Megumi scowls slightly. 1"I ..I could do something!"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Like what?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks at Megumi doubtfully.
<Chad`Winters> If dieing before you have sex is something, than yes. You'd succeed.
* Megumi crosses her arms and turns away stubbornly. 1"I could have last night if I wanted."
<Ariel> "I am still uncertain how that happed. I was not aware that the Dragoons were created to project memories. None of the others seemed to aquire them either."
<Ariel> NRP: Happened. Dammit, you guys are contagous
<Chad`Winters> Right. 6He just rolls his eyes at Zephyr.
<Angela> "I wasn't created."
<Angela> "I was more or less... grafted."
* Megumi glances downward and toes the ground. 1"...I was nervous.."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Sex is overrated.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr says like she knows
<Chad`Winters> Word. 6He holds his fist out towards Zephyr for knocks.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr knocks her fist against Chad's fist.
<Megumi> I do not care.
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel arrives before the tall building.
<Angela> "I've always been human... just... I had things done to me."
* Megumi turns and glances at the projecting device. 1"Just tell me where they are. Whether I do anything or not is up to myself."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> It took Ariel about 25 minutes to get there, using rooftops.
<Chad`Winters> Now add into the fact that Erevis and Drasek have a good, what 14 minutes on them already?
<Megumi> Alone?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Probably 25 mins.
<Chad`Winters> 25 minutes on them. You're atleast 75 minutes behind if you leave now. Whatever's going to happen, will already have happened by then.
* Ariel checks puts Angela down, and checks what the building is before going in.
* Megumi twitches slightly. 1"You underestimate how I can move, but that aside--"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> If only you could fly.
<Megumi> What the hell is sitting here going to do?
<DeathStar> 6* A barrier blocks Ariel.
* Chad`Winters taps his comm. 1"I've got nothing on the police bandwaves. You guys need to keep it as quiet as possible."
<Megumi> Why was I not awakened..!?
<DeathStar> 6* It appears to be a telecommunications building.
* Ariel pauses... well, THIS is unusual. She puts a finger to her ear, "The building is surrounded by a barrier."
<Angela> "Great..."
<Megumi> I can break barriers." 6Squints.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *rolls her eyes*
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Don't touch it for now. Have Angela run some scans to see if theres anyway to slip through undetected.
<DeathStar> 6* Darklings rise up from the streets around Angela and Ariel
* Angela pulls out her datapad, working on some readouts.
* Ariel forms her blade. <Comm> "Well, we have company now, so I'll get back to you."
<DeathStar> 6* Darklings launch trendrils at Angela.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Dark Ones or others?
* Angela acks and ducks, rolling aside.
<Angela> "Ari!"
<DeathStar> 6* The Darklings launch tendrils at Ariel now.
* Ariel slashes at the tendril, and fires a plasma bolt at the darkone. <Comm> "Dark ones. Kinda busy now."
<DeathStar> 6* The Darklings scatter away like spiders.
<Megumi> You are terrible. No one wakes me up, and then expect me to just sit here.
* Chad`Winters looks over at Zephyr. 1"They've made contact."
* Chad`Winters looks over at Megumi now. 1"I'm sure you would've woke up if we tried."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> We can't help it if you seem like the living dead.
<DeathStar> *sleep
<Megumi> <Megumi> It is easy to wake me up.
* Angela draws out her guns, breathing hard, "Right... combat."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> We'll try next time, then. Since I'm sure it'll happen all the time now.
<DeathStar> 6* Darklings vanish into shadowed areas.
* Megumi frowns intently. 1"I am sure you would appreciate it, Mister Winters, if I let you nap through Little Aya's incident."
* Ariel charges her blade with holy energy. "Work on that barrier. I'll watch them."
<DeathStar> 6* Darklings rise up from ARiel's shadow, stabbing at her back.
<Chad`Winters> I don't nap. 6He studies the layout, possibly figuring out as many escape route possible.
* Ariel winces, and and stabs her blade into the shadow. That was a mean trick.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> If only we could teleport instantly.
<Chad`Winters> I could develop a man cannon so next time Megumi wake ups late from a cat nap we can just launch her to the destination.
* Angela shoots the tendril away that's still in her. "Not good to leave those hangin..."
<DeathStar> 6* The Darkling eees and vanishes
* Ariel forms her armour, not taking chances like that again.
<DeathStar> 6* 25 Darklings appear around Ariel and Angela. Endgame.
* Ariel curses... any move she makes would leave her open at this point. If only they could have gotten inside the barrier.
* Chad`Winters crosses his arms as he eyes the map. His thumbs in his mouth as he nibbles on the finger tip
<DeathStar> 6* The Darklings prepare 100 tendrils
<Megumi> Let me guess, they are overwhelmed.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah.
* Angela gulp[s.
<Ariel> "...Angela... we have a small problem here. Being inside would be very nice."
* Megumi sighs loudly.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Sounds like you need a deus ex machina moment here
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps into the lobby.
<Angela> "Yes it would."
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Ariel, blast the ground below you with all you got.
* Angela shoots at the gropund below them.
<Drasek> NRP: LOL Angela is ariel.
<Chad`Winters> *because we all know a pistol can blow a hole in the street*
<DeathStar> 6* Angela shoots the ground, leaving a small chunk missing. The Darklings seem unnerrved by this, and launch the 100 tendrils
<DeathStar> 6* Darien holds up keys. "I got transportation."
* Ariel dives and grabs Angela. She knows she can't make a big enough hole to cover even one of them.
* Megumi practically pounces upon Darien.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien freaks out
<DeathStar> 6* The tendrils zoom around. A few drive into Ariel and Angela, despite the dive.
<Megumi> Go, now!
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> You idiot! They'res a sewer system below you.
* Ariel does her best to cover Angela, since she's armored.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at the address, then heads for the roof. "Follow me, Robin."
* Angela has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DeathStar> 6* Ariel takes all the damage, for she is --wait, that ping out means she failed.
<Ariel> NRP: * Ariel shields herself with Angela
<DeathStar> 6* The tendrils yank back, dragging Ariel along with them.
* Megumi ignores the comment, not knowing who Robin is, but follows.
<DeathStar> 6* DArien reaches the roof, where he's parked a shuttle, hidden by a drape.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Isn't she beautiful?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien swoons.
* Chad`Winters rubs the bridge of his nose he leans against the table, obviously not happy.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... is mom going to be okay? 6* She sounds worried.
* Ariel plays possum for the moment, letting them get a little closer before she cuts the tendrils.
<Chad`Winters> I don't know Zephyr.
<DeathStar> 6* The tendrils that remain in her explode with darkness
* Jennifer has joined #Erevis
<DeathStar> 6* The Darklings leap at ARiel, aiming to pile drive her.
* Jennifer is now known as Angela
<DeathStar> <Darien> You see these engines?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien strokes them.
* Chad`Winters taps his comm. 1"Darien, move fast, Ariels's getting overwhelmed."
* Ariel crouches as she steadies herself. She lets the sword vanish, and focuses on creating an unfocused wave of plasma around her.
<DeathStar> 6* The Darklings eee as they're knockedb ack.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sighs, then walks up the ramp.
<Megumi> It is beautiful, however, I am worried about the others and would prefer to hurry.
* Megumi stomps up the ramp and sighs.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sits in the pilot seat, flipping switches. The shuttle makes a car chug chug chug sound, as if it can't start.
* Ariel forms both blades as she gets to her feet... this... is starting to suck.
<DeathStar> 6* The Darklings skitter around Ariel.
* Chad`Winters looks over at Zephyr. 1"Does your mother not trust me that much?"
<Megumi> ...It does fly, does it not?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I guess not.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Of course it flies!
<DeathStar> 6* Darien rubs it gently, as if Megumi insulted it
<Megumi> ...It is unfortunate that I do not have potential like Dragoons, as that may be quicker..
<DeathStar> <Darien> You could always bond with Ariel
<Megumi> Not if she dies.
<Chad`Winters> You trust me atleast, right? 6He looks as if on the verge of a breakdown
<DeathStar> 6* Darien cranks the shuttle again, powers it up, and takes it off.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Of course, Mr. Winters.
<Chad`Winters> You're not patronizing me are you?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I would never patronize you, Mr. Winters.
<DeathStar> 6* The Darklings unleash 100 tendrils all at ARiel. They want her.
<Megumi> Were Zephyr and Angela not bonded? Why is Zephyr staying behind..?
* Ariel jumps, attempting to slash down any that get too close.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I don't know, why don't you ask her?
* Chad`Winters taps his ear piece. 1"Ariel, there's a sewer system below you, get Angela and get in there."
<Megumi> Because she is inside?
<DeathStar> 6* The tendrils shift to follow her upward. She stops some, but some get through, impaling her.
* Angela fires at soem Dark Ones when she can get a shot.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien hands Megumi a comm.
<DeathStar> 6* Angela shoots a Darkling. +1 exp.
* Ariel fires down at the ones that managed to hit her.
* Megumi peers at the comm, then speaks. 1"Miss Zephyr, do you not find the bond with Miss Bennet beneficial in these situations?"
<DeathStar> 6* They break off in Ariel, and epxlode again, sending her flying.
<DeathStar> 6* And destroying her armor finally
<Angela> "Ari!"
* Angela moves to her defense, firing at Dark Ones.
* Ariel hits the ground. Hard.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I lost my powers, duh. 6* She sounds defensive.
<DeathStar> 6* The Darklings skitter around Angela.
<Megumi> Very well...
* Megumi sets the comm down and sulks.
* Chad`Winters rubs the bridge of his nose.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien comes flying in, right above Angela and Ariel. He lowers the ramp.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Please don't hit my shuttle, please don't hit my shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr frowns, feeling and looking useless.
* Megumi leaps out the ramp, holding the comm in her left hand. 1"Um, the sewers you said, right Mister Winters?"
* Angela fires a charged shot intoa group of Dark Ones.
<DeathStar> 6* The tendrils that were going to hit Angela, fly right at Megumi.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien taps his comm. "Chad, tell them to get in my shuttle so we can escape."
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> You know they won't listen until they get Erevis and Drasek back.
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi gets impaled by tendrils. Ouch.
<Angela> "M-Meg?"
<DeathStar> 6* The tendrils drag Megumi toward the Darklings.
* Angela fires into the Dark Ones.
<DeathStar> 6* The shots seem to just hita few now and again, not doing much good.
* Megumi twitches slightly, clutches at nothing and swipes, cleaving away the ones snatching and stabbing her, likely tossled through the air by the explosions and whatnot.
<DeathStar> 6* Indeed.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leaves it on float mode, rushing to the ramp and grabbing Ariel's arm, yanking her onto the shuttle.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You alive?
<Chad`Winters> And people wonder why I never enjoyed running missions.
* Megumi careens over and grasps for the ground, hands and knees like a cat, go figure. 1"Okay, here goes." 6Having not lost much on arriving, reaches back with her palm and focuses on driving force into the ground, focused in density, attempting to breach to the lows.
* Ariel is helped. She's focused on trying to not bleed to death, "...hope so."
<DeathStar> 6* Sadly, Megumi's wounds seem to have weakened her somewhat, as she has like 5 spots oozing out blood.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien hands her a medical kit.
<Megumi> Eh, figures. Being like this is such a hassle.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Jsut get on the shuttle.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien shouts at them.
* Chad`Winters types something on the datapad.
* Angela backs uo and hops onto the shuttle.
<Megumi> Angela are you going to m-- Thank heavens.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien gets back in his seat, flipping out of float mode.
<DeathStar> 6* Tendrils launch at Megumi.
* Megumi turns and forms a force zanbato and swipes, leaving them a breaching wave for a gift as she retreats instead.
<Megumi> This sucks. Move, Darien.
* Angela fires at the tendrils.
<DeathStar> 6* Message: K, thx
<DeathStar> 6* Darien zooms away.
<DeathStar> 6* The Darklings rush after them.
* Chad`Winters readjusts the message.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien motions at Angela. "Mind saving her life?"
* Megumi moves over to the wall near the closing ramp and slumps to sit against it.
* Angela nods and goes to work, grabbing a medical kit.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien circles the building, eyeing the scanners. "What is that around the building?"
* Ariel is... not just quiet, but rather tense about it as she sits there, patching up her wounds.
<DeathStar> 6* A window shatters open and Erevis goes flipping out, holding onto the window edge.
* Angela sighs, moving between Ariel and Meg, patching them up.
* Megumi heaves as she sits, wincing. 1"Any word?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Uh, no, not at all. 6* He eyes the window.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> What's going on Darien?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien whispers into the comm. "Erevis is about to make her big debut on the ground. No worries."
* Megumi wheezes, then strains. 1"WHAT?!"
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> What about the barrier? You think you can break through with your weapons?
<DeathStar> <Darien> Doubt it. MY scanners can't make heads or tails of that.
* Megumi grinds her teeth as she leans back, bleeding freer again.
* Angela works more on megumi, who seems to have purposely gotten damaged with this much blood.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I wonder if Ariel could holy her way through.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Ariel bleeding out. "Doubt it."
* Angela sighs and rushes to Ariel, "Will you two slow down!"
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> It' possible. Convince her that Erevis life depends on her breaking through.
* Angela applies emergency patches to Ariel's bigger holes, giving her a nanite pill.
* Megumi waddles over to Ariel and grumbles, forming a triangle by placing her hand over and attempting to whittle away on Ariel's wounds.
* Ariel has been patching up her own wounds if people were paying attention
<Megumi> NRP: Of course not.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I will not.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You take it easy, babe. 6* He tells Ariel instead.
* Megumi glares daggers at Darien.
* Angela sighs and sits back, deeming them not dying anymore. "Ari... thank you for what you did back there."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glares back at Megumi.
* Ariel nods to Angela. "...do we have ANY ideas how to get in?"
<Angela> "Not really."
<Megumi> They do.
<Angela> "We were very lucky last time we saw anything like this... if you recall."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Uh, no, no ideas.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien whistles.
<Megumi> I have two ideas, neither of which are pleasant.
* Megumi gets up stubbornly and checks the viewpoints herself, ignoring pain for the moment.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems to be pulling herself up slowly.
* Angela looks at Megumi, "I think we'll pass."
<DeathStar> 6* A big dark one goes flying out of the window, through the barrier, and into the shuttle, causing it to shudder
<DeathStar> <Darien> Holy FUCK!
<Megumi> If I wished to do them, I would have done so, Miss Bennet.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien strains to get control.
<Megumi> With or without your approval. I do not require it.
<DeathStar> <Darien> MY SHUTTLE!
* Megumi grabs one of the panels to steady herself, frowning.
* Ariel holds on to steady herself, and keep her wounds from breaking open again.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien sends them into a rapid spin.
* Megumi clings to the pilot's chair, since the panelling wouldn't be enough for this crap.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stops the spin, then opens the ramp, moving over and looking outside, despite the danger.
<Megumi> Mister Winters," 6Said in distorted revolutions. "1What is the most effective way to deal with a large dark one with three injured and a junker shuttle?"
* Angela sighs hard.
<DeathStar> <Darien> IT IS NOT A JUNKER SHUTTLE
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Scrap it off.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks around, not seeing it.
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus kicks Darien in the face, swinging into the shuttle
<Angela> "Meg, never talk about Darien's shuttles that way, it's bad business."
<Megumi> Damn it.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien falls back on top of ARiel.
* Megumi begins to approach the ramp entry since everyone is sitting or being tossed. 1"You.."
* Angela stares in surprise.
* Ariel winces as she's landed on
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus stands there, his horns and dark eyes glistening with anger. <And so the Progenitor's merry crew arrives.>
<Megumi> You are not invited.
<DeathStar> <Asmodeus> <I do not have to lift a finger to harm you. From within you, it shall devour you.>
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus turns to go.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien rolls off Ariel.
* Megumi makes for the end of the ramp, forming an immaterial blade. 1"What are you talking about!?"
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus ignores her. He leaps off the shuttle.
* Megumi swings her blade and tosses another distance wave for him. She seriously hates being ignored all the time.
<DeathStar> 6* The dark barrier vanishes.
* Angela scratches her head.
<Angela> "He's looney."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah, I'm sure that's it.
<Megumi> I missed.
* Megumi broods over this fact.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien moves back to the controls, after giving Ariel a peck on the cheek
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Darien, what's your status.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Ariel and Megumi are hurt. The barrier is gone. My shuttle is fine.
* Ariel closes her eyes, in a fair bit of pain right now.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien zooms the wings of the shuttle over to the window, where Erevis seems to have gotten in without aid.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> And the big Dark One? 6He glances at Zephyr
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr seems worried, but says nothing
<DeathStar> <Darien> He left. Said we'd be devoured from within and he was too lazy to do it.
* Chad`Winters cocks his eyebrow at that
* Megumi holds up the secondary comm. 1"Asmodeus again. Since when can Dark Ones do such a thing?"
<Megumi> And where is Mister Drasek?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis motions for Drasek to go first.
* Drasek steps out of the shadow and steps onto the ramp.
* Megumi stares.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis follows suit, albeit slower.
<DeathStar> 6* She stares at Megumi and Ariel. "You two are injured."
<Drasek> Yeah they aint the only one. *he eyes Erevis*
<Megumi> I was slow on the uptake.
<Drasek> NRP: ones*
<Ariel> "...guess I'm out of practice."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis gives him an indignant look. Her trench coat is buttoned shut, and the only noticeable damage is her hands.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will be glad to train with you, then, Ariel.
<Chad`Winters> <Comm> Darien, if you have everyone, take this chance to get back unnoticed.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien turns and zooms away back to the building.
* Megumi moves over and clams around Erevis' waist.
* Angela rubs the back of her head a little. "I don't like this..."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis' face goes through pure hell for a second, before she can hide it.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis hugs Megumi back.
Session Close: Tue Dec 04 00:00:00 2007
Session Start: Tue Dec 04 00:00:00 2007
Session Ident: #erevis
<DeathStar> <Darien> What? That he let us go without a fight?
* Drasek slumps down to a seat. "Take us home, chief."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Will do, Drazilk
<Megumi> ...From within? What did he mean?
<Megumi> It is different from the last time-- When Billy said I was tainted, and it was not just I.
<Drasek> Yeah. You're a comedian. *he glances around and just sighs since there is no beer*
<Angela> "Yes, exactly."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis sits down suddenly.
<Angela> "Desaeus, he toyed with us, killed us wil glee."
<Angela> "This guy... he's playing mind games."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Maybe he's trying a new tactic.
<Megumi> Maybe it was not a tactic and the truth, which is why I want to know.
<Drasek> So Revi. Can we keep working on that kiss thing?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes him tiredly.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No.
* Megumi shifts her head from Erevis' side and peers at the two. "1Wh-what...?"
<Drasek> Next time you should slip the tongue, drives me wild.
* Ariel passes out as she lets her body rest from being blown up from the inside a few times
<Megumi> ..Wh-what!?
<Angela> "Dark Ones enjoy making us bring out our inner demons."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I would rather kill you.
<Drasek> Here I am, luv. *he sits there*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
* Drasek sighs slightly. "No one thought to bring me a beer?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just looks the other way, closing her eyes.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I only came to test my shuttle out
<Megumi> E-Erevis..?
* Megumi gazes up at her drearily.
<Angela> "It rides nicely Darien."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Thank you. You are now my favorite.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis doesn't reply.
<Megumi> What... happened?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis appears to be unconscious, or asleep.
* Megumi leans on her and sighs. 1"...Stupid Dark Ones. So much for a pleasant evening."
<DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
<DeathStar> Location: L.A.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien hands chicken soup to ARiel, who is on bed rest
<DeathStar> <Darien> Open your mouth
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis has commodeered her shower.
* Drasek sits in his chair, drinking a lovely beer.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sits with Chad, assuring him he's still cool
<DeathStar> <Darien> It's yummy yummy. 6* He tells Ariel, waving the spoon at her.
* Megumi stands at the edge of the shower, peering inward. 1"Can I come in now?"
<Chad`Winters> Atleast someone things I'm cool.
<Chad`Winters> NRPL thinks
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am almost done.
<DeathStar> <Aya> I think you are cool
<DeathStar> 6* Aya beams,.
<Megumi> <Megumi> We have gone together before!
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis remains quiet, apparantly hiding something
* Chad`Winters stands up now. 1"My confidence returns."
<Drasek> You suck. *he points to Chad*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm glad.
<Drasek> But you'll be cool if you get me another beer.
* Angela knocks on Ariel's door.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien holds a staring contest with Ariel. "Open your mouth."
<Chad`Winters> Sure thing. 6He moves over into the fridge, digging around
* Megumi sighs and exits Erevis' apartment, entering the lobby holding one arm clad in her undergarments and a couple bandages.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm busy feeding ARiel. Who is it and what do you need? 6* He calls, not breaking eye contact.
<Angela> "Angela."
<DeathStar> <Darien> You hear that? It's Angela. I'll open the door if you don't open your mouth
* Drasek arches a brow, wondering if this actually worked.
* Chad`Winters leans back from fridge and tosses Drasek a can of beer.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well played, Ariel. You leave me no choice.
* Drasek reaches up and catches the beer, his eyes twitch in pain from the sudden movement. "I think I love you, mate."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien calls out. "Come on in, Ang-e-la."
* Drasek shifts to open the beer and take a swig.
* Ariel is actually asleep.
* Megumi approaches the couch and stares down at Drasek.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien knows she's not, as he's been keeping her awake to eat.
<Chad`Winters> 6As soon as the can opens, it foams out into Drasek's face then overflows from the can, foaming everywhere.
* Angela opens the door, stepping in.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stares.
* Drasek stares. "I suddenly hate you, mate."
<Megumi> <Megumi> He did as you asked.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien opens her mouth and slides the spoon in, then closes her mouth and pinches his nose.
<Angela> "I ummm... brought something to help the healing along... and I thought I should check up on her."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Oh, we're doing fine.
<Chad`Winters> My bad, I appeared to have spent 30 seconds furiously shaking the can up so that it'd explode in your face.
<DeathStar> *Her
<Angela> "I meant medically."
<DeathStar> <Darien> This is a medical procedure.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien keeps suffocating her until she swallows.
<Angela> "The old Chicken Soup torture?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yes.
<Drasek> Since you put so much hard work into it, i'll give you a kudos. *he pauses and licks his hand* Get me another.
<Chad`Winters> You sure about that? 6He eyes Drasek curiously
<Angela> "Better let him Ari... he's stubborn as a mule when it comes to you and especially any means of flirting with you."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps out of the shower, wrapping her deep gut wound, and shoulder wound.
<Megumi> Mister Drasek, what happened to Erevis?
<Drasek> Yeah. *he shifts his eyes to Megumi* What do you mean what happened to Erevis? She's in the shower. *he motions*
* Megumi stares sternly.
<Megumi> You were the only one with her.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes his watch. "3 minutes. She's a stubborn one."
* Chad`Winters reaches back in again and pulls a new can out. He throws it, aiming short.
<Angela> "She doesn't need to breath."
* Megumi leans over and reaches out, snatching the beer can.
<Angela> "You'll never win that way."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Dragoons don't need to breathe.
<DeathStar> <Darien> She is very adament she's nota dragoon.
<Angela> "True, but neither was I."
<Angela> "I still didn't need it."
* Drasek slowly looks to Megumi and the beer in her hand.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Are you sure? Did you test it?
<Angela> "Once..."
* Megumi stares more, twitching slightly as she holds it near her shoulder.
<Angela> "I think it has to do with needing to survive vacuum."
<Chad`Winters> Right. 6He eyes Megumi and moves back over, sitting down beside Zephyr
* Drasek slowly reaches up for it.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien tickles Ariel
<DeathStar> <Darien> Swallow the damn soup!
* Megumi moves it out of reach.
<Megumi> You will tell me.
<Drasek> ...there's nothing to tell you, you paranoid twit.
<Angela> "Is she ticklish?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> She better be.
<Megumi> I have been through this many times. She is injured and wishes to hide it from me.
<Drasek> Then you know she's injured, what else is there to know?
<Megumi> Where and to what extend.
* Megumi starts to glare.
* Angela smiles softly, placing the pills on Ari's nightstand. "Pain killers and health promoters, standard quick recovery medication."
<Drasek> I don't know. I was too busy worried about myself.
<DeathStar> <Darien> If you don't swallow that soup, I'll break up with you!
<DeathStar> 6* Darien crosses his arms.
<Angela> "...Is she awake?"
<Angela> "...Or still alive?"
* Megumi moves her hand over to the side, holding the can over Drasek's reclining self with a strategically-located position and drops the can for his midsection with a bit of a push.
<DeathStar> <Darien> After all that? She's awake.
* Angela sneaks down the other end of the bed and pulls out a hankerchief, she tickels Ariel's feet with it.
* Drasek sticks his hand forward and a blade streaks out from his sleeve and impales the can, catching it, he lifts it up and begins to drink it from the hole. "Oh, I understand why you're so hot over her. She's a good kisser." He says after drinking enough beer to keep it from spewing out.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands up and walks off in a huff.
* Megumi leans over and swipes her hand, using a small immaterial knife to cut out the bottom of the can, in a temper obviously and stalks off toward Erevis' room.
* Angela shrugs and sighs, checking her breathing.
* Drasek shifts to catch most of it with his mouth. "Mmm. I love beer."
* Angela leaves a cat stuffie on Ariel's head and heads out after Darien.
* Drasek sits there and pauses. "I guess I should go shower. Wanna come Zeph?" He stands.
* Megumi pauses before the bedroom door and diverts to the kitchen, stopping before Chad. 1"Mister Winters, who drinks beer here besides Mister Drasek?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Ew.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm 14.
* Angela follows after Darien.
* Chad`Winters eyes Drasek oddly than looks at Megumi. 1"Why?"
* Drasek laughs. "I'm kidding, luv. I'm not a pervert."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien goes up to his shuttle, petting it.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Ewwww.
<Drasek> That stings, pet. *he holds his chest, frowning*
* Megumi once more fails to get a direct answer, and enters the kitchen not caring. She proceeds to remove every can in the fridge and sets them in the sink, puncturing each, then heads for Erevis' bedroom.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Now I'm all creeped out.
<Chad`Winters> HEY MY BEER!
* Angela walks over to it, smiling, "You want any help modifying this beauty?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> No.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stares at her like she's insane.
* Drasek points and laughs, since Megumi didn't go to HIS kitchen, you know since there isn't a kitchen in the lobby. He moves to his room now.
* Megumi stops when Drasek points and laughs.
* Megumi eyes Chad. 1"I would not have if you had answered plainly. However, since he is amused, surely there is more to dispose of. Where?"
* Angela smiles. "Just checking, you never minded me providing you with an arsenal of parts though."
* Chad`Winters crosses his arms and he turns his head away from Megumi.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'll get my own parts. A man's shuttle is his beauty.
<Megumi> Never mind. Logically you can take his for yours.
* Megumi heads for Erevis' room. 1"Problem solved."
<DeathStar> 6* Aya sneaks into the sink to drink remaining beer.
<Chad`Winters> I don't want his.
<Megumi> Childish.
<Chad`Winters> Yeah, that coming from the one who stabbed all the beer because she didn't get the answer she wanted.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr studies Megumi with interest.
* Angela pouts. "Oh alright."
* Megumi turns her head and ponders. 1"Perhaps."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Good. 6* He nods, satisfied.
<Megumi> Though I did it because he enjoys bothering me about what I desire, so I will bother what he desires in turn.
* Chad`Winters clicks his tongue. 1"Not even adult enough to admit it."
<Angela> "So what do you plan to do to it?"
* Drasek can be heard from his room, singing some type of garbage from his shower. At least, IT sounds like garbage. I'm sure the song is lovely.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Fly it.
<Angela> "Just that? Not gonna work on it at all?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr jots a note in her Megumi notebook.
<DeathStar> <Darien> That's a secret
<Megumi> ...He sounds terrible.
* Megumi rubs one of her ears, trying to get Drasek out of it.
<Chad`Winters> That's right. Deflect.
<Drasek> 6*During all of that the words fine ass ho can be heard.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Drasek's room
* Megumi eyes Chad oddly, then enters Erevis' room to escape the singing.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You'd think he got laid.
<Angela> "Awww, I can't know?"
<Chad`Winters> He's probably getting laid right now by his hand. 6He eyes his nails
<DeathStar> <Darien> No.
<Drasek> *Since Megumi has godhearing, she wouldn't escape.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis in her room, wearing a big fluffy shirt.
* Megumi tilts her head after shutting the door, clearly agitated in many ways now.
<Megumi> You have changed shirts.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks up. "I finished showering."
<Megumi> You are injured again, are you not?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien heads back inside.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will be fine.
* Angela follows after him. "Hungry?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods, picking up a notepad and a pencil.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Not really.
<Megumi> So we can continue what we began last eve?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Perhaps another night.
* Chad`Winters glances over at Aya. 1"Stay out of the sink Aya.
<DeathStar> 6* Aya falls over, drunk.
* Megumi stares skeptically. 1"So it is bad."
* Angela sighs a little. "Huffy about Ariel?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I merely do not wish to do have strenuous activities.
* Chad`Winters sighs and he stands up moving over to Aya.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien puts his hands in his pockets. "Huffy she got stabbed."
<Megumi> Because they would hurt or make things worse.
* Drasek finally stops singing and all is silent.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Very well. We may pick up where we left off.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis closes the notepad.
* Megumi shakes her head, frowning. She gestures with her hand.
<Angela> "Yeah... sorry about that..."
<Megumi> I am hurt as well. It would be painful. I merely want you to be open with me.
* Chad`Winters picks Aya up and moves back onto the couch, cradling her
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. We should wait until you're better.
* Megumi saunters over and sits on the edge of the bed.
<Megumi> Why did no one wake me? I could have helped..
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pokes his head into Ariel's room to eye the chicken soup level.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am sure they did not wish to disturb you
* Angela watches quietly.
<Megumi> That makes no sense!
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pulls the sheets over herself as she lays in the bed, her back on the pillows.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You require much sleep.
* Drasek makes his way back into the lobby and eyes his chair, he slides it to a corner and moves to sit on the couch.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr is crushed.
<Megumi> ...Do I really?
* Chad`Winters looks over at Drasek sitting on Zephyr, beside him
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
<Megumi> I know I have gotten worse, but...
<Angela> "She'll be alright with proper bed rest."
* Drasek pauses. "This couch is lumpy."
<Megumi> If you are endangered, why should I have to sleep? It does not make sense.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I was fine.
<Megumi> You are far more important than sleeping..
<Chad`Winters> You're sitting on Zephyr you twit.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr struggles.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> And your sleep is far more important.
* Drasek blinks and jumps up. "My bad, luv."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr twitches
<Megumi> It is not!
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well played, Ariel. 6* He shakes a fist, closing the door.
* Megumi turns and scowls. 1"Erevis is more important than sleeping!"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Megumi's sleep is more important. 6* She repeats.
* Drasek glances around and slowly slides over to another chair.
<Megumi> Erevis is!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I refuse to argue this
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lays down to go to sleep.
* Angela smiles a bit at him.
<Megumi> There will be no arguing. I have and always will put Erevis first.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis does not comment.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr flaps her arms.
* Drasek stares at Zephyr. "I uhh. Think I broke something."
<Angela> "Darien?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hmm?
<Megumi> It matters not if it is all the Dark Ones in this world or Legion itself. Whether I am alone or with friends, I shant -sleep- of all things, if Erevis is in any danger.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm trying to get feeling back in them, you big meanie
<Angela> "How are you with a sword?"
<Chad`Winters> Drasek, was there any signs of legion?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not want you in danger.
<Megumi> Then you know how I feel.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm fine, I guess.
* Drasek shakes his head. "Just Asmo, mate." He drowns at Zephyr. "I'm sorry."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> However, I will have the last word on the matter.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis says firmly.
<Chad`Winters> It's possible Legion is working on his own accord and isn't affiliated with the Dark Ones.
<Drasek> NRP: frowns!
<Angela> "How about we practice?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'll pass. I'm not really into practicing.
<Angela> "I'm growing a bit soft from all this downtime... I kinda need a sparring partner that won't annihilate me with some sort of alien superpowers."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Ask Chad.
* Megumi almost growls before calming enough to think. 1"...Is it... important? That fact about myself?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Your health is important, yes.
<Megumi> That is not what I meant. You know very well I will not back down on something like this, Erevis, yet you insist anyway.
* Megumi purses her lips. 1"I am naive, not dumb."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<Angela> "Sure."
<DeathStar> <Darien> And Ariel. She needs it, too
* Angela tilts her head at him. "Alright."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Good.
* Megumi peers at the silence before mumbling. 1"So be it."
* Angela pokes him. "I'm makin dinner tonight, you and Ari are enjoying a meal.:
* Angela smiles.
<Megumi> I suppose I will just have to press myself harder. If I make sure I can break that tries to harm me, you cannot leave me behind.
* Drasek sits there quietly, slowly pulling a bottle of beer up from behind him. He opens it and takes a swig.
<DeathStar> <Darien> She's not ready for solid food. That's next week's timetable.
<Angela> "I will provide soup."
<Angela> "We'll guilt her into eating it."
<DeathStar> <Darien> And she likesm ints.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien nods.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She peers over her shoulder at Megumi, her face unreadable.
<Chad`Winters> I peed in that bottle.
* Megumi has one of her otherwise more childish stubborn looks, puffed cheeks and everything. 1"I am sure that what you have bestowed me with would prove useful in that regard, right?"
<Megumi> It is merely myself holding it back.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Goodnight, Megumi. 6* She closes her eyes, resting her face back on the pillow.,
<Drasek> Your piss tastes like the beer that I hid in my room. *he takes another swig*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You two are crude.
<Angela> "I'm off to cook then."
<Drasek> Want some? *he extends his bottle out towards her*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Ew, no
* Megumi rolls onto her opposing side and grips at the sheets with a scowl. 1"...Everything I do is always wrong."
<DeathStar> -END-
Session Close: Tue Dec 04 00:54:22 2007
(have to find location)
Session Start: Mon Dec 03 22:05:36 2007
Session Ident: #TheRealErevis
* Now talking in #TheRealErevis
* Drasek has joined #TheRealErevis
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis drives along the streets.
* Drasek falls silent as she drives, seems he's thinking over this whole ordeal. "So you already know the outcome of this, don't you?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> No.
<Drasek> It's not like I was gonna ask what it was, anyway. *he glances out* You've got alot to live for, so don't go risking yourself for me. Alright?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will do what I desire.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes the datapad again, apparantly reading something in the frequencies.
* Drasek glances at Erevis. "Never said you wouldn't, luv."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Besides, if you die, who will bring back the Progenitors?
* Drasek scoffs at that one. "Clearly you'll be right and they weren't meant to be brought back."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see. And here I was under the impression you would do anything to bring them back.
<Drasek> You think i'm going to just waltz in there and spread my arms out and say kill me? Hell no. I'm going to kill every single one of the bastards.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are incapable of doing that.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Asmodeus is aware of this.
<Drasek> And he also knows you won't andanger your friends for me. So he'll be ready for the both of us.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> He does not know what I am capable of doing. Nor do you.
<Drasek> Then impress me, luv.
* Drasek watches #erevis fall apart without us.
<Drasek> NRP: LOL wrong room.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I have no intentions of impressing you. 6* She glances at him. "However, as the sole heir of the Progenitor legacy, I would expect you would be more counting on my aid."
<Drasek> Just don't want to see you get hurt, luv. *he shifts to glance out the window*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hm. Is that correct?
* Drasek glances at her. "You saying I would?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I did not say that.
<Drasek> I would feel bad. And i'm sure Megumi would kick my ass if you were.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at the datapad, then taps a message.
<DeathStar> 6* She taps another message.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems satisfied.
* Drasek eyes Erevis. "I'll assume that you're not sending Asmo a warning that we'll get him or something."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Do you think that would be wise? 6* She looks confused.
<Drasek> Uh. No. *he arches a brow*
<DeathStar> 6* Another blast hits Drasek.
<Drasek> GAH! *he slams his hands outward to grab onto the dashboard, fingers clenching up, nails digging into it.*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis clenches her teeth.
* Drasek pulls one hand up to hold onto his head, the other bracing himself so he doesn't flip out and punch out a window or break his hand trying.
<Drasek> This....blows. *he manages to get out between hisses and grunts of pain*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares at him, still looking tense.
* Drasek growls now, apparently it remains constant in pain levels, poor guy.
<DeathStar> 6* It ends.
* Drasek goes limp again, his chest heaving from the labored breathes. "Least...me...know..." He trails off, attempting to catch his breath.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis shakes her head once, clearing something.
<Drasek> Least -we- know. *he breathes again, sitting up* How they won.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis comes to a stop outside a building. "This is it."
* Drasek glances up at it. "Tall."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. I can see that.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks up at it, reaching out and touching a black barrier.
<Drasek> Guess they want to know when we get here.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is designed to keep non Progenitors out.
<Drasek> Then it looks like our pals couldn't follow us if they wanted.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is why I did not bring them.
<Drasek> Ah. *he pulls himself out of the car* Let's get exhausted then.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances at Drasek.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That is illogical to exhaust ourselves before a battle.
* Drasek points at the tall building. "If they're on the roof like usual. We have a long climb ahead of us."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Perhaps you should get in better shape.
* Drasek smirks. "I could run laps around you, luv. Mindfuck or not."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Your mind is in a delusional state from your pain.
<Drasek> If so, then why aren't you naked?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Because I will not abide your fantasies.
<Drasek> They're my fantasies, you don't get a say. *he huffs*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems to be waiting to see if he passes through the barrier.
* Drasek pauses. "Oh. You waiting on me?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
<Drasek> Right. Let me make a copy of your face in my mind. *he pauses, then smirks and steps through the barrier, if it lets him*
<DeathStar> 6* Drasek steps through with ease.
* Drasek turns to face Erevis. "Whaddaya know. I'm a progenitor."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I would hope that was obvious before now.
* Drasek smiles slightly. "So. It going to let you through?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis touches it, and apparantly can't.
* Drasek tilts his head back. "I see. Guess it's up to me then. Well, i'll see you when I see you." He turns and eyes the building, moving for a door.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis begins to chant under her breath, removing her glove.
* Drasek steps up to the door and reaches out to try and open it.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis punches through the barrier with a blinding light, stpeping through it.
* Drasek glances back at the light spectacle, he tilts his head. "They let it down for you?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps through, her hair smoking. Her white streak is a little bigger now. "I knocked."
<Drasek> I wonder if anyone is home. *he notes, turning back to the door*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis slides her glove back on, moving after Drasek. Her eyes seem to shift slowly back to a green tint, but it could be the dark playing tricks.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It would make little sense for there not to be.
<Drasek> Of course. *he makes note of these changes but doesn't really acknowledge that he noticed, he attempts to open the door*
<DeathStar> 6* The door opens.
* Drasek steps inside, glancing around.
<DeathStar> 6* It's a dark lobby.
<DeathStar> 6* The intercomm beeps. "Drasek and Erevis."
* Drasek glances up. "Charlie boy, I missed you." He says in a faux happy mood.
<DeathStar> <Asmodeus> I merely wanted you to see what it was like to live like the humans that Erevis so adores.
<Drasek> Oh? Now that i've had the educational tour. What next, then?
<DeathStar> <Asmodeus> I have an offer for you.
<Drasek> Out with it then, I've got places to be.
<DeathStar> <Asmodeus> I have a Progenitor relic. For two long our people have been separated, Drasek. Perhaps it is time the Progenitors come back and help us rule this galaxy as we were meant to do before our ancestors fell apart.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis remains silent, standing in the darkness.
<Drasek> Oh. Other than betraying me and killing the last of your mortal enemies, what's the catch?
<DeathStar> <Asmodeus> Kill Erevis. She would prevent either race from ruling. IF you do that, you can join us. And our people can be one again.
* Drasek peers back at Erevis, obviously thinking. "Can't very repopulate our kind without another Progen." He says to Asmo.
<DeathStar> <Asmodeus> You don't need her. You know it.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis crosses her arms.
<Drasek> You fucked me over, you git. Without her, i'm an ant under your abnormally large boot.
<DeathStar> <Asmodeus> You don't want me as an enemy, Drasek.
<DeathStar> <Asmodeus> I can remove the virus in you. Think of your old self.
<Drasek> So shoving that shit into my neck, forcing me to live in this goddamn shell, that's just your way of saying hello!?
<DeathStar> <Asmodeus> We're more alike than you think, Drasek
<Drasek> Right. Because I always attack people when I first meet them. *he scoffs*
* Drasek pauses and glances back at Erevis, he frowns when he realizes something. He looks ahead again. "And if I refuse to kill her?"
<DeathStar> <Asmodeus> Then you will both die tonight.
<Drasek> I'm not a twit. I know that just as soon as I kill her. You'll kill me. So either way, we die. At least if I refuse, we get to beat the shit out of your stupid pets.
<DeathStar> <Asmodeus> It's a shame, Drasek, we could not be allies.
<Drasek> I'm tore up about it, mate. I promise.
<DeathStar> 6* Tendrils launch from the dark lobby, from all sides in a 360 barrage.
* Drasek glances up. "Oh bugger." He attempts to shift himself to take less damage, if at all possible.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis grunts as she takes hits. She removes her glove and touches the tendrils, burning them away.
* Drasek grits his teeth as he takes a few hits, he shifts his hands to each, his hidden blades striking out at them.
<DeathStar> 6* Tendrils wrap around Erevis' throat, causing her to let out a startle cry.
* Drasek hisses and jerks out to try and swipe out with the blades to cut the tendrils away from her.
<DeathStar> 6* Darklings leap out, attempting to stab Drasek on the back.
* Drasek jerks his hand up as he twists to the side, letting out enough of a hyperspace blasts to knock them away, hissing at the pain in that, his other hand still reaching out to help Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is freed. She forms an energy blade in her hand, swiping around at the DArklings.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> We must go for the stairs.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis lets the blade dissipate.
* Drasek nods, moving in the direction, practically using the blades like katars now, since they aren't so concealed.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis flips over a desk. Tendrils leap out to stab Drasek and Erevis again.
* Drasek slides over the attempts to kick a desk up into the tendril's way.
<Drasek> NRP: then*
<DeathStar> 6* The tendrils bust through the puny desk.
* Drasek was just trying to slow them down, he swipes out to cut them away, all the while backing towards the stairs.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pulls out a small blade from her pants leg, slicing out.
* Drasek turns to move more quickly towards the stairs, expecting more tendrils to lash out.
<DeathStar> 6* Drasek reaches the stairs. Erevis stumbles in afterward, hunched over.
* Drasek shifts to place a hand on her shoulder. He's been hit too, but he does his best to keep the pain hidden from his face. "You alright, revi?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis glances up, strained. "I will live."
<Drasek> Good thing. Else I would feel like an ass. *he turns to move up the stairs, helping Erevis if she'll allow him, though it's Erevis so of course she won't.*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves up on her own will, her trench coat buttoned up for once.
* Drasek glances at her once while he moves upward. At least the pain isn't coming from his head, he thinks.
<DeathStar> 6* Tendrils form am impregnable barrier at floor 7, and below them on floor 5 of the stairs.
<Drasek> Looks like 6 is our lucky number.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not...find that particularly..lucky.
<Drasek> Rushing into obvious traps are totally lucky. We will be expecting them. *he shifts to the door of the six floor and opens it*
<DeathStar> 6* Nothing happens! A normal floor?
* Drasek scoffs, not being lured into a false sense of security, he steps through, glancing around.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps in as well. Suddenly, the door is sealed with tendrils, and the room is blocked off all around them.
<Drasek> Well that wasn't what I expected. *he says with a slight shrug*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hngh... 6* She pauses, hearing a hissing sound.
<Drasek> Care to shed some light on the occassion? *he glances around, the hissing sound reaching his ears*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It would seem they are removing the oxygen.
* Drasek pauses. "Do I need oxygen?" He then frowns, "Oh, you do."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Correct.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stumbles to her knees.
* Drasek glances around, looking for a window or something.
<DeathStar> 6* They are surrounded by tendrils.
* Drasek tisk, reaching out where the door was, releasing a blast of hyperspace to open an escape route. His face twitches in pain when he does this.
<DeathStar> 6* The tendrils regrow instantly.
* Drasek hisses. "Oh bloody fantastic." He glances at Erevis. "I can't do anything, there anything you can do?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems to be having trouble breathing, much less do something
* Drasek frowns, hoping she wasn't that far gone. "Well this is bad." he pauses and glances down to see if tendrils are there too.
<DeathStar> 6* Looks like floor.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands up suddenly and kisses Drasek on the lips.
* Drasek pauses and eyes Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis keeps her lips pressed against his.
<DeathStar> 6 *Erevis points upward at the ceiling.
* Drasek arches a brow, completely put off, unsure why she is doing that. He blinks and reaches his hand out beside him, he closes his eyes knowing this is going to be hella painful. He raises his hand and blasts a hyperspace beam towards the ceiling.
<DeathStar> 6* The celing is destroying, leaving a hole. Erevis breaks the kiss, taking a deep breath
<Drasek> I think my knees are weak, luv.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You should reserve your energy then. 6* She takes painful breaths
* Drasek stops breathing heavily, since he was. "I don't think I can do much more of that." He notes with a frown.
* Drasek steps over and makes a cupping motion with his hands. 'I'll give you a boost."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps onto Drasek's hand.
* Drasek strains slightly, but lifts her up towards the hole.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pulls herself up, reaching down.
* Drasek takses her hand and pulls himself up.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems to be in more pain now.
* Drasek glances at her. "You should rest."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> That would be unwise.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands again.
<Drasek> And you killing yourself would be too.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> The longer we wait, the less likely I will be able to do anything.
<Drasek> Right then. *he moves to go back to the stairwell, their only means up*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis follows stiffly.
* Drasek opens the door, glancing out. There are dark places under his eyes, apparently from all this strain, if it's clear he would step out.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis and Drasek move upward.
<Drasek> I wonder if your mates actually listened to you. *he notes curiously*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Unlikely.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis holds her stomach as she moves
<Drasek> Well I bet that barrier is giving Chad a helluva time. *he notes with amusement, his eyes stay on her stomach as he mvoes up, resting there for a few moments before looking ahead*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis walks upward.
* Drasek moves along, glancing at the floor they are on. "Shame we couldn't have used the elevator."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> A trap.
<Drasek> Everything's always a trap. Just once i'd like to walk up and have a nice duel. One on One.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will oblige you if we live.
<Drasek> Excellent. Though I would hate to embarass you.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis makes a noncommital sound, reaching the top floor.
* Drasek steps up to the door. "Alright, no trap. No trap." He repeats himself, moving to open the door.
<DeathStar> 6* No trap.
<Drasek> I think I could swoon, if I wasn't as manly as I am. *he says, moving to step through*
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes a message.
<DeathStar> 6* She types something back.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks around the floor.
* Drasek whistles like calling for a dog. "Come then Asmo. I'm getting bored."
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus punches Drasek from the back, sending him flying into the room.
<DeathStar> <Asmodeus> We could have been great together, Drasek.
<Drasek> NRP: into the room?
<DeathStar> NRP: Yeeees.
* Drasek goes furthur into the room, sliding across the floor. "I'm not into dude, mate."
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus grabs Erevis, throwing her out the window
<DeathStar> <Asmodeus> And you think that half-breed cunt won't betray you?
<Drasek> REVI!
* Drasek slides over to the window, looking out.
<DeathStar> 6* Asemodeus grabs Drasek from behind throwing him across the room into a desk
<DeathStar> <Asemodeus> Stop pretending you care.
* Drasek crashes through the desk, pulling himself up. "Right. Cause you totally know my feelings."
<DeathStar> <Asmodeus> I can feel the darkness in you.
<Drasek> That's just booze, mate. Now move, so I can save the girl.
<DeathStar> <Asmodeus> Beat me if you can. But you'll most likely die tying.
<DeathStar> *trying
* Drasek narrows his eyes. "I don't have time for this."
<DeathStar> <Asmodeus> I do.
* Drasek throws both of his hands forward, launching a double hyperspace beam out for Asmo, attempting to send him right out that window, or at least knock his ass back.
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus pulls out a device and Drasek's brain gets wracked with the noise before he can do it
<DeathStar> <Asmodeus> I'm afraid you're nothing but a dog to me while I have this.
<Drasek> GAHH! *he clutches his head, falling to his knees*
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus holds up his hand. "It is a pity."
* Drasek shakes violently as he jerks his hands forward. "BUGGER OFF!" He does his damnest to lash out with a double blast, like the most before.
<DeathStar> 6* Asmodeus is hit, dropping the device as he goes flying out the window.
* Drasek does his damnest to crawl over, grabbing the device as he continues towards Erevis, attempting to turn it off as he moves.
<DeathStar> 6* The device gets more painful as he approaches.
* Drasek does his best to fight back tears, you know, if he could actually make them. If it would be too unbearable he would slam his hand down to crush the device, though that may not be smart, he wants the pain to end. Of course if he could, he'd just hit the off button.
<DeathStar> 6* The device is smashed, and the pain stops.
* Drasek breathes more steadly as he crawls over toward the window.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pulls herself up slowly, her hands bleeding from the glass
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I am pleased you were able to overcome that.
* Drasek reaches out to help her up. "...you aint the only one, luv."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is pulled inside. "Why did you not take his offer?"
* Drasek just shrugs. "Never trust a dark one."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> His honor seemed genuine.
<DeathStar> *offer
<Drasek> I know. But sometime down the road, after he was finished using me, he would kill me. He's a Dark One.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Ungh. Perhaps.
* Drasek eyes her. "Good thing your friends are here. You need a medic, luv." He reaches his hand out to help her up to her feet, after standing to his own.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands on her own accord.
* Drasek eyes his hand and then drops it. "I need a beer." He announces dramatically.

Session Ident: #erevis
* Logging #erevis to 'logs\EsperNet\#erevis.20071204.log'
<DeathStar> Stardate: 10-588.1.27
<DeathStar> Location: L.A.
<DeathStar> 6* And so, not much has happened this week. Or at least, not much you, dear RPers, know about.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien is in his shuttle, doing questionable things. Erevis has been forced to use the abandoned third floor for her activites lately
* Ariel has spent much of her time in bed, resting. Being impaled and blown up from the inside, makes an impression after a few times. Still... she's recovering at a remarkable rate.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien has left her more chicken soup. A challenge.
* Ariel eats the soup this time, since she's conscious and all. And not passed out from being blown up from the inside.
<Kit> 6Megumi ambles out of Erevis' room, finding herself abandoned again. She still seems to be meandering about in her underwear and bandages. She makes sure to check to see if Drasek is in his room, and sets about sabotaging his beer supply.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr watches her go by. "You should wear clothes like a normal person."
<Kit> 6Megumi jerks slightly and turns. 1"...It hurts to put them on."
* Angela gently puts her hand on Zephyr's shoulder. "Heya."
<Kit> <Megumi> ...That and I have none left.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr freaks out and screams.
* Angela blinks and falls over. "Ack!"
<Kit> 6Even Megumi seems slightly unnerved, wondering just where her god hearing went.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr breaths deeply, holding her chest.
<Angela> "It's okay! It's just me!"
* Ariel winces, holding her ears
* Angela cleans out an ear, groaning.
<Kit> 6Megumi doesn't. She was deafened briefly.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sighs in relief.
<Angela> "Sorry hun, how're you, I mean, besides the near heart attack?"
* Kit is now known as Megumi
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Just great. I think I'm learning how to breathe again
<Megumi> What is she saying?
<Angela> "Amazing."
<Angela> "Heart rate lowering?"
<Megumi> A ...macing...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis leaps down the stairs in a crouch, pained. "Is there an attack?"
* Megumi attempts to read lips. 1"Hurt... race lowering.."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah, I'm good a---aieee!
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr screams as Erevis lands there.
* Angela looks over at Meg. She then leans in and whispers, "The can cannot hear us, let us use this for mischief."
* Angela gasps and holds her ears.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stares, tilting her head back.
<Angela> "Jeebus you're developing a set of lungs!'
<Megumi> Who is Jeeves?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr controls her breathing again
<Angela> "Patron saint of search engines."
<Megumi> And why is he a devil?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis stands there, wearing a pink sweater and khakis.
* Ariel slowly makes her way to the door to see what's going on
* Angela just nodes sagely to Meg.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr puts a couch cushion over her face.
* Angela blinks, staring at Ere.
* Megumi stares. 1"...Paid insane..."
<Angela> "P-Pink?"
* Megumi gives up!
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Is there a problem?
<Angela> "Ummm... no it... uhhh... looks good on you."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head, looking doubting.
<Megumi> I know that look. Erevis is offended.
<Megumi> Why is Erevis offended?" 6Narrows eyes at Angela.
<Angela> "She looks worried to me."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ...
<Angela> "No it's just... haven't seen you in Pink like that before."
<Angela> "It's really quite nice."
<Angela> "You should try dresses next."
<Megumi> Why are you telling her to be really quiet? You should talk less, if anyone."
* Megumi crosses her arms indignantly.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Dresses? That is impractical.
* Megumi rubs her ears furiously. 1"Huh? ...But I wear..."
* Angela ignores Megumi. "Yes but they'd look nice on you."
<Megumi> I should not wear dresses?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I will keep that in mind.
<Angela> "I could help you pick something out sometime... finishing school taught me a bit on style, if you remember." *she smiles a bit*
* Megumi sniffles slightly. 1"...Erevis bought me kimonos and I have always worn skirts, but Erevis finds them.. impractical.."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis studies Megumi in slight confusion, then looks at Angela. "That is alright."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If there is no emergency, I will go back upstairs
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis bows, turning to move back up the stairs. She has kitties on the back of her sweater. Go figure.
<Angela> "Have fun..." *she shrugs a bit and looks at the hiding Zephyr*
* Ariel watches quietly for the moment. Trying to figure out what started this mess.
<Angela> "You okay hun?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *thumbs up*
* Megumi looks forlorn.
<Angela> "Wanna help me with dinner tonight?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Boring.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr pulls off the cushion, waving at Ariel. "You're up!"
* Angela looks over and smiles, waving at Ariel.
* Ariel waves a bit to the two, "Yeah... it took a while, but I'm up."
<Angela> "The power of Zeph's lungs."
* Megumi shakes her head a few times and gazes between the three.
* Angela grins
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Next time, you should avoid the tendrils. You're boring when you're laid up for a week
* Ariel smiles a little, "Well... it seemed like fun at the time."
* Megumi probably looks barely any better. Thankfully she wasn't punctured like Ariel, because -she- heals like a normal person nowadays. She begins inching around behind Angela and Zephyr and makes for the window.
<Angela> * A catnip mouse pegs Meg.
* Megumi turns slightly before and spikes it like a volleyball toward the floor, blinking.
<Ariel> "...still with those catlike reflexes."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hm
<Angela> "She's cute in a sort of... catgirl way... like that." *tosses another gently at Meg*
* Megumi turns her head away and smashes it between her palms, as if avoiding a sword strike.
<Angela> * It blows open, catnip flying all over.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sneezes. "The hell?"
* Megumi jerks and recoils, falling to the floor and curling up fetally.
* Angela blinks a bit. "Musta been a cheap one... why'd you clap so hard?"
* Angela waves it out of the air around Zeph and hands her a handkerchief, walking over to Meg. "It's nip... shouldn't you be like... bouncy?"
* Megumi rolls over and rubs her face back and forth against the lobby floor with an odd smile. Her crystal tail pokes upward, flitting to the sides.
<Angela> "Yep... bouncy."
* Megumi swats at Angela's foot.
* Angela giggles and drops a stuffed fox on Meg.
* Megumi chews on its head, glaring at nothing in particular.
* Angela walks back and sits down, watching. "Interesting reaction."
* Ariel heads back to her room, since the others are just playing with the cat.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr heads in after Ariel.
* Ariel seems a little surprised to be followed. "Hello, Zephyr."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You need anything? 6* She asks like a good child.
* Megumi proceeds to destroy a perfectly good fox, and moves on to Angela's shoes.
* Ariel smiles softly as she sits down. "Well... I suppose I could use some stronger armour."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hm. I don't think I can make armor.
* Ariel smiles a little more, "And... unfortunately, the armour I do have is unnaturally strong. I'd need to wear a shuttle for better."
* Megumi destroys the shoes since there is little resistance, and moves on to pants' legs.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Perhaps you should recreate your armor periodically in battles. It'll take more energy, but you can refresh any damage caused.
* Angela sort of watches her go to work, she produces a pray bottle, spritzing Meg.
* Megumi rears back and opens her mouth to hiss.
<Angela> "Bad kitty."
<Megumi> Httthhh!
<Angela> "If you wanna play hop up here and behave, else I use the bottle again."
* Ariel nods, "I usually do repair it... but most of the damage they did, was from within the armour." She holds her stomach, "...not a technique I'm familar with."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Are they evolving?
* Ariel considers, "It's possible."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks worried.
* Megumi inclines her head slightly and frowns, then rears her head and ...sneezes violently. So violently in fact, her manifest reacts and tilts the couch onto its back.
* Angela flips over and lands on her feet, grinning. "Very, very interesting."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr listens to the sounds of destruction in the living room
<Megumi> ...Mr...oowwl...
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I really don't get what Erevis finds appealing in her.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks back at Ariel.
* Megumi leaps atop the couch's end and hisses at Angela.
* Ariel pauses, "...do I want to know what's going on out there?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Sounds like a cat.
* Angela spritzes her again.
<Angela> "Behave!"
<Ariel> "Well... if Angela goes and drugs a wild animal..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *Waves her hand* A-ha! You agree she's a wild animal.
* Megumi swipes her hand, leaving the spray bottle in halves despite distance-- clearly not liking this mist in the face crap.
<Ariel> "Who? Angela?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Megumi! I-I heard you just now!
* Ariel looks innocent.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stomps her foot and fumes.
* Angela blinks at the broken bottle.
* Ariel relents, "She does act like one some times."
<Angela> "Hey... that was hard to find."
* Megumi leaps at Angela.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I knew you loved me. 6* She giggles happily.
* Angela braces herself, catching and pinning the wild cat using her own strike against her, a lesson from Meg herself.
<Angela> "Relax kitten, whoa there."
* Ariel laughs a little, "Of course. Did you believe otherwise?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Of course not, but it's always nice to hear you say it. By it, I mean hurling random insults at Megumi. 6* She nods. While she doesn't seem to be too serious about it, she still appears to like to rile the cat and get in jabs.
* Megumi struggles against Angela, hissing at her more personally now. Then she sneezes again.
* Angela delivers her next strike... a gentle, well placed stroke.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks down, eyes the two struggling, then yells up. "Megumi is making out with Angela, Erevis." 6* He walks back up the stairs.
<Angela> "Good kitty..."
* Megumi blinks a few times, then lightly snaps her teeth onto Angela's hand. Her tail flails playfully.
* Angela looks at her hand and pets Meg. "Alright... calm down now."
* Megumi peers at her darkly, not releasing the hand, but doesn't make any further moves, just twitch-twitch-twitching.
* Angela scritches her behind the ear. "Good kitty."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis moves down the stairs, peering at Angela and Megumi.
* Megumi lets her hand go and looks away boredly-- Then sneezes and knocks Angela a good seven or eight feet.
* Angela wheees and flips to her hands and feet.
<Angela> "I thought Zeph had the set of lungs!"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sits on the edge of the bed with Ariel.
* Megumi spots Erevis and her eyes light up. She begins a four-legged charge.
* Angela sees Ere. "Hey! She got into some catnip, c'mere and help me tame the save Megumi creature."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She stares at Megumi. "Stay."
* Megumi pauses and stops, sitting. She gulps.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Sooooooo......
* Angela giggles
<Angela> "THat's all it took?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes.
<Ariel> "Been up to much trouble while I've been stuck in bed?"
<Angela> "I'll remember that. I guess she's all yours."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, Mr. Drasek offered to let me shower with him.
<Ariel> "I didn't realize he was a pedophile." *makes a mental note* "...anything else?"
* Angela smiles softly and walks over, holding out a pill. "Detox, it'll flsuh her system."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Not really. I've been keeping an eye on Aya. She's getting into every book in the house
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Take the pill.
<DeathStar> 6* She tells Megumi.
* Megumi shakes her head, tail twitching.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis frowns, not pleased with being disobeyed.
* Angela giggles a little.
<Ariel> "Taking to books... well, that shouldn't surprise me, considering her parents."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I think she's already smarter than me. 6* She notes, sulking.
* Megumi seems to snicker lightly, veering head from side to side, then crouches low, seeming ready to pounce.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis crosses her arms. "Megumi Zhenmei,."
* Megumi pauses and seems to relax to sitting crouched again, blinking.
* Angela pops the pill in Ere's hand. "She'll probably take it from you."
<Ariel> "Oh, I doubt that very much. But she's quite bright for her age."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She holds it out to Megumi.
* Megumi leans up and sniffs, peering skeptically.
<Angela> "Tell her it's safe..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... *kicks her feet as they hang off the bed* I just don't like books. Did you study when you were a kid?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> It is safe. 6* She repeats dryly.
* Ariel nods, "Of course."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks agast.
* Megumi frowns, not appearing to like this recital.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If you do not take the pill, I will not be happy with you.
* Megumi gulps it in a flash.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods, satisfied now.
<Ariel> "What? Are you surprised?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> B-But they're boring.
* Ariel considers, "I don't read as much lately, but I used to... quite a lot."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *sulks* I bet Aunt Cheryl doesn't read at all. 6* She leaves off the fact Cheryl's a mechanical genius and probably does read manuals.
<Ariel> "I'm sure she takes some time between beating people down."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *flops on the bed beside Ariel* Will you love me if I ain't smart?
* Megumi shakes her head a few times, then sits back on her rear instead of crouching and holds her head, wincing.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Are you feeling better now?
<Megumi> ...No... What happened?
* Angela nods and turns, "I'll be making dinner, if you want to join me later Ere. Meg's invited too, everyone is, as usual."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I would be honored.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis bows her head.
* Ariel kisses Zephyr on the forehead, "You're already quite smart."
<Megumi> Huh..?
* Megumi turns her head, and gazes blankly.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I am? 6* She squints.
* Angela smiles softly. "See you soon then."
* Angela heads for 102.
<Megumi> ...Where did Miss Zephyr and miss knight go?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis eyes Megumi's tail.
* Ariel nods, "You don't need to like books to be smart."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Shew. I did try to read that Durran guy's book, since you and I are in it and I can't remember anything, but I got bored with Chapter 2.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> He said you use to have red eyes. Is that true?
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head, watching the tail.
<Ariel> "Durran... wasn't the world's best writer, I admit."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Is it true you and Erevis became close on the PAX2?
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> And that you were an ambassador and I was your assistant?
* Angela is now known as Angie|Nappytime
<Megumi> Hm... I hear them.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Hear who?
* Megumi turns to look back at Erevis, then follows her gaze. 1"Miss Zephyr and miss knight."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Oh, and that Cheryl almost killed the whole team singlehandedly?
<Megumi> ...Why do I have a tail again? And ...why are you staring at it so intently..?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I-It doesn't matter. 6* She seems to blush a bit. "If you wish to speak with them, you should enter Ariel's room."
* Ariel considers, "Well... all of that was true."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hooo? How'd you get red eyes? You have blue eyes.
* Megumi frowns slightly. 1"...C-colour... What does that mean!?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You should not listen in if you do not intend to be in the same room. 6* She notes disapprovingly.
* Ariel smiles, "I went through a lot back then."
<Megumi> No, your cheeks! Colour!
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Is it true you thought you were a Dragoon until you almost got blown up?
* Megumi peers at her tail again
<Ariel> "That... is a little more complicated."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis pauses. "I--..." 6* Her pale complextion is her enemy this time.
* Megumi pouts with puffy cheeks. 1"Tell meee!"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You are just devious with your tail, that is all.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *sighs* I wish I could remember.
<Megumi> Devious?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. At least you will be one day.
* Megumi slowly careens her head to the side.
<Ariel> "Maybe you will... some day."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> True. Or I could read the book.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr nods, making a blegh face.
* Ariel laughs, "I'm sure, somewhere... a part of you remembers."
<Megumi> I will be devious ...with my tail.
* Megumi appears baffled, then gazes back at Erevis with narrowed eyes.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She blinks once. "What?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah. That adult me all you keep saying I turn into.
* Megumi narrows them further, and gives the tail a shake.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps back once. "Perhaps I should go back to my training." 6* She notes.
* Megumi squints. 1"I do not understand."
* Ariel smirks, "I could get pictures if you'd like?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Am I beeaaatiful? 6* She says the word exaggeratedly.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> What?
<Megumi> I do no understand tail deviousness.
<Megumi> However, I will let you train.
* Megumi gazes off, scratching at her cheek.
<Ariel> "Well... what do you believe?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Perhaps it is not necessary for you to understand now.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I dunno
<Ariel> "You are quite stunning."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr beams. "Thanks."
<Megumi> 6Megumi nods a time, then turns and scampers over to Ariel's door, eavesdropping.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis crosses her arms, then the door gives a sudden opening, sending Megumi right in.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr blinks, looking over.
<Megumi> ...That is strange. I did not make an effort for that..
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Were you listening in, you rat?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr glares.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis leans in, smiling at Ariel. "Ariel. When you are feeling better, I believe we should train together. I would --- like that if you would." 6* She lowers her head, as if suddenly shy.
* Megumi sits up, blinking as some of her bandages slide off. She peers at a lack of some injuries she expected, then gazes up at Erevis curiously.
* Ariel bows her head, "When I have recovered." She smiles.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis bows back, then steps out, leaving Megumi on her own.
* Megumi slowly careens her head to the side, face contorted into painful confusion.
<Ariel> "Were you after something, Megumi?"
* Angie|Nappytime has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Megumi pauses, since she seems to have returned to studying her bandages, perhaps in a mental diversion. She unwinds half of them, still revealing no injuries and seems infinitely bothered.
* Jennifer has joined #Erevis
<Megumi> ...After... something?
<Ariel> "Or were you leaning against my door for no apparent reason?"
<Megumi> I was not leaning against the door.
* Jennifer has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<Ariel> "Eavesdropping at the door?"
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr snuggles Ariel.
* Megumi looks to Zephyr, their proximity, and shifts her eyes away, going quiet.
* Angie|Nappytime has joined #Erevis
* Ariel holds Zephyr... she's getting a little frustrated at Megumi's inability to speak plainly with her, but does her best to hide it.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *sighs* If you want to talk to mom, I'll go. You seem afraid of me.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hops off the bed.
* Megumi squints, scratching her cheek. 1"Not afraid ..of."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr yanks her tail as she walks on out. Still has to get in her licks when she can
* Ariel sighs a little
* Megumi whirls slightly. 1"...Not afraid of you. Of your relations."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers back at Megumi, raising a brow.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You're afraid of me relationship to my mother?
<Megumi> I am not sure that is the way to phrase it, but yes.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Good grief.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I don't care if you two are friends.
* Megumi blinks. 1"...You did."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah, well, people grow up. You try it, squirt.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephte flicks her nose.
* Megumi recoils from the flick and frowns slightly.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Besides, with how little you seem to care about my mom these days, I don't think she'll lose her judgement over you.
<Megumi> ...It is hard to believe that at one time you learned from me.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Is that an insult? 6* She puffs her cheeks.
<Megumi> If it is, only to myself.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> ... 6* She peers at Ariel, unsure.
<Megumi> In martial skills, I almost had myself fried by you twice now, and in intelligence, you are no worse of, and yet still in ... human reasoning you surpass me with ease.
* Megumi closes her eyes and sighs. 1"I have much to learn still."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *seems to get an ego boost from that* If she bothers you mom, just yell.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr steps out.
* Ariel nods, a little... offput, by the squabbling.
* Megumi turns to Ariel and opens her eyes slowly. 1"Yet in words, I remain apart, it seems."
<Megumi> Perhaps one day I will tell Erevis that I enjoy writing.
<Ariel> "What brings you here, Megumi?"
<Megumi> ...Curiousity.
* Megumi peers back toward the door. 1"I ...feel that the weight of something I wish to pass off has been removed."
* Ariel nods, but she's honestly not sure what Megumi is talking about.
* Megumi gazes at Ariel. 1"That being the case, I must apologise for being dishonest."
<Ariel> "Dishonest about what?"
* Megumi Megumi regains her stance and finishes pulling away her bandages, apalled that she bears no wounds for some reason. 1"...When I drove you away."
* Ariel nods slowly. "I assume you did what you felt was best."
<Megumi> I said I felt it for the best, but I left off that I felt it was best... for you and Miss Zephyr.
<Megumi> I was not lying, but I was not fully honest. Someone like me should not come between true family. I lack family...
<Ariel> "...you remind me a lot of Angela at the moment."
<Megumi> ...Hm?
<Ariel> "You speak of being outcast, and having no family... when this is only because you refuse to acknowledge the family that you do have."
* Megumi leans forward slightly and rubs her forehead. 1"...I am sorry, miss knight. If I think about humans a little, I begin to understand this kind of speech. In stories, the ties between warriors, people who bring themselves together for common causes, often refer to one another as family. As bands of siblings."
<Ariel> "You might not be of my blood, but..."
* Ariel pauses... wondering what their relation is now, after all that happened.
<Megumi> Miss Terra often referred to me as a little sister, even though I did not truly understand it-- Yet she makes me question this kind of relation, since she often does not listen to me or follow my advice. ...From what I have heard, she has given up on what I asked of her and abandoned Mister Carmichael-- Meaning she has abandoned me.
* Ariel pauses to consider, "Families don't always see eye to eye... and Terra has some issues she needs to resolve."
<Megumi> Then... Even as 'family' we can... have trouble sometimes?
<Ariel> "I haven't met a family that did not."
* Megumi pauses to consider...
* Megumi eyes Ariel intently. 1"We are not of blood, you said... What... what were you going to say, miss knight?"
<Ariel> "There is more to family than the blood you share, Megumi."
<Megumi> ...You consider us family, then?
<Ariel> "If you wish to be."
* Angie|Nappytime has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
* Megumi stares willfully for a while, not saying a word long enough to cause some people pain. But probably just Zephyr.
<Megumi> This... would not bother Miss Zephyr?
<Ariel> "...Zephyr forgave you long before you've forgiven yourself." 6She considers, "However, she might still torment you on the justification that she is upset at how long it took you to forgive yourself."
<Megumi> ...O-Oh...
* Megumi smiles weakly. 1"I... I think I can bear it."
<Megumi> What do you consider Erevis?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr meanwhile is playing with one of the surviving catnip mice, trying to get Siawase to attack it
<Ariel> 6* Siawase occasionally swats it boredly. Unimpressed.
<Ariel> "Erevis has been as a sister to me. For longer than we've even known each other."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> *sighs, then pulls out a chicken leg*
<Ariel> 6* Siawase perks up
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I have found your weakness, Mr. Sia
<Megumi> Then... what do you consider me?
<Ariel> 6* Siawase pouts, with sad kitty eyes.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hands it over, but does pet him while he eats it. It's her compromise.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I've always wanted a dog, but I don't think you like dogs, do you?
<Ariel> "At one point, I thought of you like a 'squire'." 6It's not her first choice of word, but if she always calls her 'knight'. "At one point, I was hoping to be able to file for adoption." 6She pauses, "Now... however, I am uncertain. I consider you very important... but I couldn't put a title on it."
<Ariel> 6* Siawase seems content with this. He shakes his head no about the dogs.
<Megumi> I must admit confusion to that answer.
* Megumi closes her eyes and lulls slightly. 1"...I would have appreciated such a thing before, however."
<Megumi> I proposed to Erevis, as I am sure you have heard by now.
* Ariel smirks, "Well... then prehaps future sister-in-law, would be more accurate." She shakes her head, "That is too bad. I would have liked someone to care for my armour."
* Megumi inclines her head slightly. 1"...If you wished for me to care for it I would not mind. I am good at modifying and repairing molecular-level structures."
<Megumi> I am merely confused because although one can be a daughter and a student, or a sister and a student, I see difficulty in plausibly being a sister, daughter and a student and servant.
* Megumi opens her eyes slightly. 1"This seems too many roles for a single person to uphold."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> What if I got a dog who loves cats?
* Ariel shakes her head, she goes to say something and stops. "It is... possible, oddly enough. But no. I'm not asking you to be all that."
<Ariel> 6* Siawase seems to think over it, though isn't too keen on the idea
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You could take him under your wings, and train him to worship you.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> And I'd make sure he only chased Megumi's tail.
<Ariel> 6* Siawase 'hmmmmms' out loud, in a very kitten like manner.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yep. Always nice to have a sidekick.
* Megumi smiles slightly. 1"Then which would you prefer of me?"
<DeathStar> -TBC-
Session Close: Tue Dec 04 04:39:20 2007
Session Start: Wed Dec 05 00:18:22 2007
Session Ident: #erevis
* Logging #erevis to 'logs\EsperNet\#erevis.20071205.log'
<DeathStar> 6* And so we resume with Chii and Ariel alone in Ariel's room. Mmeeeow
<Kit> NRP: Woo, Chii escaped after all
* Kit is now known as Megumi
<Megumi> So which would you prefer to consider me, miss knight?
* Ariel pauses, thinking that over. "I'm not sure... do you need it to be quanified like that?"
* Megumi squints slightly. 1"Well, not exactly..."
* Megumi seems a bit disappointed, but forces a smile. 1"You do not have to classify it, I suppose. It merely gives me insight to miss knight's thoughts."
* Ariel nods. "Prehaps... things are quite clear at the moment. It might be best to let things... happen."
<Megumi> NRP: +not I imagine
* Megumi turns away and taps her lip, visibly sulking.
<Megumi> As you wish.
* Ariel sighs, "...Megumi."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr keeps working her bribes on why a dog is a good thing
* Megumi tilts her head slightly. 1"Yes?"
<Ariel> "You can do what you wish... just don't try to force things. Alright?"
<Megumi> I may do as I wish? What do you mean?
* Megumi raises an eyebrow, and crosses her arms. 1"In regards to what?"
<Ariel> "You're asking for a standard to strive for. Don't worry about that. It's not a race."
* Megumi shakes her head. 1"Mh, you have it wrong. I just wish to know more about miss knight."
<Megumi> I believe miss knight is miss knight, but is that not cumbersome to live up to?
<Ariel> "It is just who I am."
<Megumi> Gradually, I am rediscovering who I am.
* Megumi raises a finger. 1"If we are family, then it is odd for me to call you the knight."
* Megumi squints. 1"No offense, but 'Ariel' seems just as strange."
<Megumi> I think of you higher than that, as well.
* Ariel laughs a little, "Well... I suppose it's not my real name anyways."
<Megumi> Understand, then?
<Megumi> It... is not a goal to strive for..
* Megumi closes her eyes and shrugs gently. 1"If it helps to make it clearer, then think back before we came to Earth."
<Ariel> "Maybe... that would be easiest."
* Megumi nods in agreement. 1"Things were simpler then."
<Ariel> "Yes... they were."
* Megumi peers intently at Ariel. 1"Then...?"
* Ariel finds herself chuckling a little, "'Miss Knight' was a name you gave me. You can call me whatever you wish, Megumi."
* Megumi frowns slightly, but it's in a more comical viewpoint at this turn. 1"The purpose is to know what -you- considered me."
* Megumi turns away with her crossed arms. 1"I... I could call you Siawase Two."
<Ariel> "...I would hope that you wouldn't."
* Megumi peers over with one eye slightly open. 1"...Tell me, or I just might...!"
* Ariel sighs, "To be blunt Megumi... you've avoided me for quite some time. My thoughts have grown cold. It has been so long since we've even spoken, face to face like this... that I'm not sure what to think of you any more."
<Megumi> I understand.
* Megumi puts a hand to her head and twitches visibly. 1"This is why I suggested telling me of how you felt before."
<Megumi> If you cannot, then I cannot ask anymore. I merely avoided you so that your relationship with Miss Zephyr would not deteriorate, for it was clearly on my account.
<Megumi> Perhaps I do not deserve things like family, but I will honor my own feelings how I choose.
<Ariel> "Megumi... come here."
* Megumi careens her head to the side slightly, but moves forward. 1"I do not follow the concept of chivalry or such like knights, but I have my own way of living truthfully."
* Ariel rests a hand firmly on Megumi's shoulder... and then smacks her upside the head. "You're better than this, Megumi. When did you become a person who rather whine about their unworth, instead of proving who they were? You say you're not worthy of family... why not? I am getting sick of people whining about being alone, and then turning away people who want them close."
* Megumi jerks slightly, blinking. As much as she's one to ignore pain, she understands being struck still. She peers at Ariel suspiciously, then softens. 1"I am not alone. I asked Erevis to marry me." 6She pouts a bit.
<Megumi> Miss knight will be miss knight until she decides what she is with me!
* Megumi purses her lips slightly. 1"...Time moves on, life counts backwards. Perhaps it is silly of me, but though time moves slower for me than most, I perceive it faster-- With the things occuring lately, it just feels as though things should be more urgent."
<Megumi> Even my own conditions have been worsening. Perhaps I am paranoid.
<Ariel> "Megumi... you need to learn to stand up for yourself again. To be strong, and not be skittish over every little inconvience... you seemed to have lost that, since the trip."
* Jennifer is now known as Angela
* Angela is on the roof, celebrated hangout of Erevis, presently going through sword katas, fluid motions of sword swings.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pokes his head out of the shuttle. "If one of those hits my shuttle, you and I are going to have a talk."
* Angela stops mid swing, looking over at him. "It won't."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Good.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pokes his head back in
* Megumi tilts her head again. 1"...I.. I do not think so."
<Megumi> I do not back down from anything!
* Ariel just blinks at her
* Megumi sulks slightly. 1"Social behavious I have never understood. At least not since after Kilek."
* Angela continues togo through the motions, she cuts a steam pipe in half, blinking. "PAX is a sharp one."
<Megumi> Even before-- I was merely mimicing what I learned from books and stories and watching others.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leans back out. "Did you cut my shuttle?!"
<Angela> "No."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes it disbelievingly.
* Ariel nods slowly, "Just... don't bar anyone out then."
* Angela points to the steam pipe coming out from the rood.
<Angela> *roof
<Angela> "I cut that. I'd never harm a shuttle."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Do you even know what that does?
<Angela> "Disperses steam from washing machines, I only cut the pipe open more."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Alright then. 6* He goes back into the shuttle.
* Megumi shakes her head at Ariel.
* Angela stops, wiping her face a little. "Are you sure I can't help?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yep. I'm sure. 6* He calls out.
<Megumi> In honesty the only thing that could come between any of those here in this building and myself is Erevis. I would push myself to the limit for anyone here.
* Megumi taps her lip and seems to consider. 1"Except perhaps Mister Winters."
* Angela pouts.
* Ariel can't help but laugh. "Is your rival included?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien can't see the pout.
<Angela> "I built you a shuttle once."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien probably blanks out inside the shuttle.
* Megumi considers again. 1"Okay, so there was an oversight."
<Angela> "Respond in 5 seconds or you owe me a soda!"
<Megumi> I would surely sacrifice Mister Drasek before risking harm to myself.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pokes his head out at 4 seconds. "What?'
* Angela counts, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5!
* Angela pouts. "Damn."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Huh?
<Ariel> "As long as you're open to Zephyr, and Darien... when he deserves it. Then I'd be happy."
<Angela> "I almost got a soda out of you."
* Angela sheaths the katana, patting it.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Uh huh.
<Angela> "Are you okay?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah. You? 6* He studies her, as if wondering if the cold is getting to her. A free soda indeed.
* Angela shrugs a bit. "You've been a bit short lately."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Is that so?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien cocks an eyebrow.
* Angela nods. "Just a bit more quiet then usual. Something on your mind?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> No.
* Megumi stares at Ariel blankly.
<Megumi> I.. I was joking...
<Megumi> You.. You really think, and would not mind, if I did not try to save Mister Winters or Mister Drasek?
<Ariel> "I think they can both be rather annoying at times."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien steps out of the shuttle, putting down tools.
<Megumi> Th-That is not what I asked...
* Megumi stares!
* Ariel smiles, "I know."
* Angela looks at him, tilting her head and sighing a bit before turning and looking over the city.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien wipes his fingers clean, studying Angela's back.
* Megumi laughs-- unsure. 1"Th-that is a joke, as well, right? Ah ha.. ha.."
* Angela stretches, arcing her back gracefully as she looks out over the city, making a cute little stretching noise. "Feeling a lot better now..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'm glad to hear that.
* Ariel just shakes her head, a little ammused
* Megumi eyes Ariel for a while-- Completely lost in whether to believe the statements or not. Then holds up her hand and coughs once.
<Megumi> Well, then I will call you Mother instead. That would be appropriate for a 'family,' correct?
* Angela sighs and lets down her long hair. "You were right."
<DeathStar> <Darien> About what?
* Ariel hesitates at that. "If... you wish."
* Megumi studies Ariel closely. So closely, in fact, that she's drawn closer and eyes her from a few inches away. 1"Eh? Is there a problem with that?"
<Megumi> I know it is not nearly the first time you have been referred to as that.
<Angela> "About needing to live my life."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, glad to hear you've decided to take it to heart, then
<Ariel> "There are... mixed feelings, with that title."
* Megumi draws back. 1"Oh?"
<Megumi> Should I not call you that? I would not want to offend Ariel.
<Ariel> "That was the title used by the people who used me to make their weapons. It... is long in the past, but the memories are still there."
<Angela> "I'm a kid again... it's time I enjoyed it."
* Megumi headtilts again. 1"Eh? I do not know what you speak of, just that you consider many of the dragoons your children."
<Megumi> Or am I mistaken?
<DeathStar> <Darien> And your first kid like activity is destruction on steam pipes.
<Angela> "I'm a rascal, aren't I?"
<Ariel> "They... were created from me, without my consent."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien ruffles her hair up. "Sure."
* Angela giggles softly.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Just don't get into any weird girl gangs with Zephyr.
* Megumi blinks a few times. 1"Mh, so you mean I should not. The dragoons are bastards."
* Ariel closes her eyes, "Prehaps in a manner of speaking." She doesn't like them called that.
<Megumi> Which is it? You are confusing me.
<Megumi> It is yourself that stated the possibility of family without blood, so which do you prefer to think of them as?
* ChanServ changes topic to 'Erevis the Progenitor | Season 1 (Destiny): 7 of 20 complete | Episode Eight: Terminal Velocity | Session #8 | Mon/Wed @ 9 PM | Visit our brother RPG: #taw'
* ChanServ sets mode: +ntr-o Megumi
* ChanServ sets mode: +o Angela
<Angela> "Who me? In a gang? I thought I was the geek here."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Aren't you a rascal?
<Ariel> "Family doesn't need to be limited to arbitary designations."
<Angela> "Maybe I'll be the brains behind the operation, plan the capers."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Uh huh. Plan the capers. You are a geek
<Megumi> ...Then I could call you Dearest Ariel?
* Angela blushes a little and smiles. "Can't help it..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Ah well. Your career as a racasl was shortlived.
* Ariel pauses, "As long as you made sure that Erevis didn't misunderstand the meaning."
* Megumi squints. 1"What is there to misunderstand? Ariel is one dearest to me. Dearest Ariel."
<Ariel> "And Erevis is, in comparison?"
* Megumi blinks. 1"Erevis is the one I love."
<Angela> "Whatever will I do now?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> Be a geek, I guess.
* Ariel smiles, "Just be sure she knows... as the words could be misunderstood."
<Megumi> I see.
* Megumi scurries over to the door and peers out.
* Angela pouts a bit. "At least I'm a good looking geek."
<DeathStar> 6* Megumi runs face to face with Siawase.
<DeathStar> 6* Since Zephyr's holding him.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yes, you're a very good looking geek. 6* He studies his shuttle.
* Megumi blinks a few times. 1"...Little Siawase."
<Ariel> 6* Siawase mews uncertainly.
* Angela smiles. "You may want to add a backup drive to the engine on that... that line's always had a weak starter."
* Megumi pats him on the head a few times, sloowwwwly gazing upward.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Now I have to do the exact opposite because you recommended it to me.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr frowns at Megumi.
<Angela> "And hurt my feelings by not trusting my expertise?"
* Angela pouts again.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yep.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien says it so naturally, it's impossible to tell if he's serious or joking
* Megumi stares for a few moments. 1"Dearest Zephyr, is there a problem?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> The hell you just call me?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr seems riled.
* Megumi squints, scratching at her cheek. 1"Dearest Zephyr...?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> God, I hate you. 6* She walks off with Siawase.
<Angela> "I'll wind up all inconsolible and sad for weeks with this development, there might be tears involved."
* Megumi peers over her shoulder at Ariel, confused.
* Megumi waves. 1"...Bye-bye... Little Siawase, Dearest Zephyr."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr gives Megumi the bird. Who knows where she learned that
<DeathStar> 6* Probably Cheryl
* Megumi doesn't know, but doesn't know what it means either.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien chuckles.
* Ariel shakes her head a little, "I believe I'll need to talk to her too."
* Megumi pouts visibly. 1"I miss living with Erevis."
<Megumi> Little Siawase is much more understanding.
* Ariel smiles, "Well... he is a kitten."
* Angela giggles a little and walks over, running her hand over it. "Always liked a guy who can appreciate machinery."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien doesn't say the first thing that comes to mind, and instead opts to say another line. "They're handy, I agree."
* Megumi eyes Ariel. 1"Are you remaining within the confines of your domocile?"
<Megumi> I will seek Erevis now.
<Megumi> Clearly speaking with Dearest Zephyr is an issue now.
<Angela> "This isn't an older model either... the new refined titanium shell... my own design frame... these were so fun to work on."
<DeathStar> <Darien> You isn't your design. 6* He stares, baffled.
* Angela looks up at him, raising a brow. "Mmm?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> This shuttle. It's not from your designs.
<Angela> "You sure? I thought everything on this line from 350 onwards was following the frame I put together."
<DeathStar> <Darien> It's not a 350.
<Ariel> "I think I will rest for the moment... but I will speak to Zephyr, so she understands what that was about."
* Angela blinks a bit, she looks in and looks back and forth. "...Damn... it's not. Is this a 330 or a 340?"
<Megumi> She does not understand? It is simple..
<DeathStar> <Darien> UH, no.
<DeathStar> <Darien> It's a shuttle from the Ridiarium Wars.
* Ariel shakes her head, "Don't worry about it Megumi. I'll speak to her."
* Angela stares at him, going blank a bit. "Yes... the 330 to 340 lines were... wait... is this FROM the war? As in a surviving..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yes.
<DeathStar> <Darien> And if you drool on it, I'll beat you
* Megumi goes to protest, but then realizes how conversations between her and Zephyr go. She nods.
<Angela> "H-Holy... wow..."
<DeathStar> 6 *Darien rubs is lovingly.
<DeathStar> *it
<Megumi> Thank you, dearest Ariel.
* Angela stops herself from drooling. "I didn't think any were still around!"
* Megumi heads for the staircase and winds up toward the roof.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I had strings. I kept the shuttle I flew in the war.
* Angela runs her hand over it. "That war... affected so many of us..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Yep. If you hadn't gotten deaged, you'd be about 5 years younger than me.
<Angela> "Still am up here." *she taps her head*
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr walks in, having Siawase on her head like she use to do with plushies.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien rubs the shuttle again. "With everything in a tight spot, I had this baby recovered."
<Angela> "Lucky..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> So, did you two kiss and make up?
<Ariel> 6* Siawase sits quietly.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien hugs the shuttle
<DeathStar> <Darien> And that's why you can't touch it. Only I cna.
<Angela> "Alright..."
* Angela smiles a little.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Really, thinking it was a 350. I'm insutled.
<Angela> "Wish I could remember."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien crosses his arms.
<Angela> "Hey... my shuttles are good."
* Megumi zips out along the roof, dashes around the ship, and Darien and Angela, twice, then leaps and springs across its top, coming to a stop, gazing around from the makeshift high perch.
<DeathStar> <Darien> These are designed to take hits from rocks.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stares. "What the fuck are you doing?!"
<Angela> "I designed the 380s to take hits from Dark Ones."
* Angela looks up at Meg.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien seems more interested in the cat right now.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Get down from there!
* Megumi slides down the nose and drops to the ground, panting.
* Megumi takes a moment to catch her breath then sighs. 1"Erevis is not here."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien makes strangling motions. "Try the third floor, you crazy wombat."
<Megumi> I am not a wombat, I am a Famfrit.
* Angela takes out a small stuffed mousie.
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr sits down on Ariel's bed again.
<Angela> "Bad kitty! Go or face the mousie!"
* Megumi stares at Angela oddly.
<Megumi> You are strange.
* Megumi knowing where Erevis might be, dashes back inside.
* Angela tosses it at her.
* Megumi pauses after she senses something, spins.
* Megumi freaks, and swipes her hand, cutting the mouse in halves with an immaterial blade, then sends it spraying back upon Angela and Darien and the shuttle with the following wave
* Megumi dashes back inside before any more catnip attacks.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien crosses his arms, and sneezes.
<Ariel> "Well... we spoke. For the first time in quite a while."
<DeathStar> <Darien> I'll kill her one day.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> That's good. 6* She reaches up and hands Siawase some chicken, despite being on her head.
* Angela blinks and brushes it off, making the oddest wiggling motion, she blushes. "Ummm... yeah."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Don't tell me catnip affects you
<DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes her.
<Ariel> 6* Siawase nibbles, careful to keep it out of Zephyr's hair.
<Ariel> "She has taken an... unusual naming scheme, though."
<Angela> "It's pure... the nepetalactone is kinda a sedative..." *she smiles lazily*
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> 'Dearest'? Bleh. She better cut it out with me.
* Megumi glides down banisters with her awesome balance until the third floor and hops off, entering the corridor to check for Erevis.
<DeathStar> 6* No sign of Erevis in the corridor, though some of the rooms are opened.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hooo
<Ariel> "You dislike it?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien appears unaffected
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Uh, yeah.
* Megumi hops along, checking the open ones.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is in one of the rooms, working out in a training room she set up with dummies and other objects. She spins the wooden stick, striking her targets with precison.
* Angela giggles a bit and finishes brushing it off. "You must either have a lot of stress or have a history of taking sleeping pills to be unaffected like that..."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien considers. "I sleep fine, and I'm not under stress."
* Megumi crouches, perching like a cat, tail flitting since she still has it, and watches intently, heaving.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems to sense something unusual, as she turns her head toward Megumi.
* Angela smiles and takes a seat, in a state that could be likened to drunkeness. "Mmmm... maybe you're just so relaxed already you don't feel it."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hmm. Not really. A bit tense right now because of Megumi.
<Ariel> "Because you don't want her being friendly, or that you don't like the sound of it?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> The sound of it. It's creepy.
<Ariel> "...it does sound almost like she's flirting, doesn't it?"
<Angela> "She's a bother yeah..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Or poking fun. Who uses dearest?
<DeathStar> 6* Darien studies Angela curiously.
* Ariel smiles, "Megumi apparently." She gives Zephyr a hug, "Why don't you suggest something else to her then? It's just her way of showing admiration."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'd prefer Zephyr.
* Angela stretches a little, smiling in an amused way at Darien.
<Ariel> "Just Zephyr?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Just Zephyr. Without the Just, just because she's a freak and would use Jsut.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You look like a cat right now. One that got milk
* Ariel laughs at that. "Well... you should let her know. She just adds more as a sign of respect."
* Angela makes a little purring noise. "Funny..."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hmph.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien looks a bit creeped out now.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Did you purr?
* Megumi dashes quickly around to avoid being in vision.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> ... 6* She frowns, seeing nothing.
<Angela> "I was being silly..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Oh, thank god. If you started acting like Megumi, I'd have to sedate you
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pulls the sheet back over the shuttle.
* Angela stretches a bit more. "I think I already am..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Sedated, right?
<Angela> "Definately relaxed..."
<Ariel> "It's just her way, Zephyr."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Doesn't mean I gotta like it.
* Megumi coils around then pounces at Erevis. 1"...Mrowwwr!"
* Angela giggles
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis turns around, bringing up her hand toward Megumi, as if she's about to strike, when she pauses and is struck onto her back.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I should probably get you coffee.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien heads for the stairs.
* Megumi nestles her head against Erevis' neck, latching hands and feet around her falling form.
* Angela gets up and follows, putting a hand on his shoulder, giggling more. "Lead the way General!"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis winces a little, then relaxes. "Megumi, do you need more pills?"
<DeathStar> 6* Darien walks down, with his hands in his pockets.
* Megumi laughs softly. 1"No.."
<Ariel> "No... but I just hope you don't condemn her for having an unusual way of showing her appreciation for you."
<Megumi> I was playing. I am happy.
* Angela follows, giggly and bouncing a bit behind him.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods. "I am glad."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien pokes his head into Ariel's room and nods in approval at the eaten food, then enters his apartment. He begins to make coffee.
* Angela lays out on his couch, giggling still. She looks around, not having been in here much before.
<DeathStar> 6* There's nothing really present in the open, as if Darien either doesn't own much, or hides it
* Megumi gazes up at Erevis with a smile, nudging against her more. 1"You are?"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I can find other things to condemn her for, so fine, I won't.
<Angela> "Very... clean... hehe..."
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. 6* She lays there with Megumi on top of her, studying Megumi with a curious expression.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances around, then shrugs. "Not hard to do. I hire Aya to do all the hard labor when Chad isn't looking."
<Megumi> Any particular reason?
<Ariel> *smiles* "Just... place nice, alright?"
* Megumi 's tail flickers in the air, then stops, slowly veering toward Erevis a la comedy radar.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> If you are happy, then I am pleased. 6* She eyes the tail now.
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> Alright, I won't shoot her, or leave her behind to die a grizzly death
* Ariel nods, "I appreciate it."
<Angela> "Clever, I assume she's bound you to a contract that involves your soul."
* Angela grins.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You do make her seem like Chad's daughter when you say that.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien lets the coffee maker make coffee; a wonder, really
<Angela> "Heh... yeah... him and Eve..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hmmm. 6* He takes a seat.
* Angela sighs and rolls over a bit, looking at Darien, she fixes her shirt.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at the shirt, then her face.
* Angela has that lazy, pleased look that says she's well into the effects.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You are one for getting drugged or drunk, aren't you? Why do you carry around so much catnip?
<Angela> "To torment the cat."
* Angela giggles. "Mmm... I haven're really gotten drunk since... well... the night before Origin."
* Megumi leans up and kisses Erevis while she's distracted. The tail begins to coil, as if searching for a target.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Hm. 6* He glances at the coffee, then gets up and pours a cup, holding it out to Angela.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis is distracted by the kiss, turning her gaze back to Megumi, without closing her eyes.
* Angela sits up, taking, it, she sniffs the aroma and smiles. "Now coffee, I can drink this."
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr plays with a blade of grass at Siaswase. "So, since I look older than Megumi almost, can I go on dates?"
<DeathStar> <Darien> A true mechanic can drink coffee. It's a sign.
<Angela> "Used to pull 16 hour shifts on the PAX... both of em."
* Megumi begins using her tongue-- As always, seeming to study Erevis for the extent of reactions. The tail lashes about; It's clearly about to attack.
* Angela sips softly and smiles more, remembering those days.
<Ariel> "Well... we'll see. Darien might need to do some background checks first."
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> You'd trust him with my potiential husband?
<DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks aghast.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien leans back. "Really."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis closes her eyes, but doesn't bite Megumi's tongue. As strange of a turn of events as these, she doesn't notice the tail at all.
<Angela> "Mmmhmm... running those places as Chief was... taxing. I loved it though."
* Angela sips more. "This is good..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Thanks. The coffee maker can do wonders.
<Angela> "This is why we need to appreciate machines more..."
<DeathStar> <Darien> Ah, you're one of those people. A machine reformist.
<Ariel> "I didn't say he'd make the decision."
* Megumi draws back and grins widely. 1"Yay...!"
<DeathStar> <Zephyr> I was kidding anyway. 6* She swishes the grass blade
<Angela> "Enthusiast... though having been an Omega in the past, I had something of a reason to care." *she giggles*
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yay? 6* She opens her eyes.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Well, I personally plan to abuse non-sentient machines that don't fly, but that's me.
<Megumi> I... I think I can be friends with Dearest Ariel and... Dearest Zephyr does not seem as furious as normal, just irritable.
<Megumi> Erevis did not bite me. Today is great.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Dearest Ariel? 6* She tilts her head, which is awkward with her on the floor.
* Angela giggles, "19."
<Ariel> 6* Siawase bats at the grass.
<DeathStar> <Darien> 19?
<Angela> "That's how many of my shuttles you've totaled." *she gives him a mockingly serious look*
<DeathStar> 6* Darien gets a blank look.
<Angela> "Oh wake up silly."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien blinks once. "Hm?"
<Angela> "You're still blanking a little..." *she giggles* "Gotta work that out sometime."
* Angela sips more.
<DeathStar> <Darien> I am not.
* Angela sips a bit more, "You are too, and I'm a little worried about that."
<Megumi> Mh. I do not wish to call her 'knight' if we are ...family.
* Angela smiles still, the lazy look slowly fading.
* Megumi nestles against Erevis, pondering.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I see.
<DeathStar> <Darien> Tch. 6* He just pretends not to hear her.
<Megumi> Oh, Dearest Ariel said to make sure you are okay with my titles... She said you might misunderstand for some reason.
* Angela sighs and rolls over, sitting upside down on the couch, looking at him from her odd position.
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not mind if you call her dearest.
<DeathStar> <Darien> How do you plan to drink coffee like that?
<Megumi> Or dearest Zephyr?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You may call them as you like.
* Angela somehow manages an upside down sip.
<DeathStar> <Darien> ... Well.
<Megumi> Dearest Ariel did not like being referred to as 'mother,' yet accepted a different honorary. Erevis did not like being Miss Erevis, though would you like to be called something else?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> You may call me what you like. 6* She notes.
* Angela fixes her shirt again, the odd angle of her body making her show off a bit more then she intends, taking another sip.
<Megumi> Mh, that is not what I asked...
<DeathStar> 6* Darien rubs his chin, glancing a little to the side. "So, you feel better?"
<DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not have any preferences. My name is Erevis, however, some choose to call me other names.
<Angela> "Mmm yeah, though now I have blood rushing to my head."
* Angela giggles.
<DeathStar> <Darien> You rascal.
<Angela> "Awww..."
* Angela grins and sips again.
<DeathStar> 6* Darien taps his chin. He's quiet right now.
* Angela watches him, slowly rolling back over and sitting up.
<Megumi> Hm....
<DeathStar> <Darien> Need a refill?
<Angela> "Please."
<DeathStar> 6* Darien stands up, taking her cup and moving over to the coffee maker.
<Megumi> Then, since Erevis is my love...
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers at her with a look of curiousity.
* Angela is now known as Angie|Nappytime
* Megumi stares back at Erevis. Almost as if just seeing how long before, if ever, she would inquire.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis seems to be staring back, as if waiting to see how long before, if ever, Megumi will blurt it out
* Megumi sniffles in her soul. 1"Paramour?"
<Megumi> Such things are not easy to find words for, especially in a language beyond your own.
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis just looks confused. "I do not understand that word."
* Megumi inclines her head. 1"It is defined as a ...lover."
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head, considering, then nods. "Perhaps I do remember this word."
* Megumi peers curiously at Erevis. 1"Mh?"
<DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers back at Megumi now. "So you wish to call me Paramour."
* Megumi rubs the back of her head slightly. 1"I merely wish to call you something that would make you feel more appreciated than the present."
<Megumi> Anyone may call you Erevis... right?
<DeathStar> <Erevis> Yes. However, you do not need to call me by another name to make me feel appreciated.
* DeathStar is now known as DS[Escapes]
<Megumi> I know that... but...
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> But?
* Megumi squints slightly. 1"Erevis is special to me."
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> And Megumi is special to me.
* Megumi sulks slightly and nudges against her again, her tail flickers slowly.
<DS[Escapes]> 6* Erevis puts an arm around Megumi. "Please do not sulk."
<Megumi> It is something I have always done. I have honored those I am proud of. Perhaps it is an insignificant thing, but I always have.
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> Yes. But I know how you feel about me no matter what you call me.
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> After all, I only refer to you as Megumi, as does everyone else. Does that mean I care less?
* Megumi shakes her head.
<Megumi> Other people do not fret over trivial things as I. I would not expect anyone to call me anything other than my name. Although most seem to have trouble pronouncing my last name and many refer to me merely as 'damn cat.'
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> You have a beautiful last name.
<Megumi> Oh. So you will not be bothered by the marriage rite?
<Megumi> I would take yours, but if you have one, I have never been made aware of it.
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> My only name is Erevis, and no, I do not have a problem with it. 6* She appears somewhat amused.
<Megumi> Wh-what is funny..?
* Megumi is easily distracted. Go figure.
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> I cannot explain it.
* Megumi puffs her cheeks, tail lashing madly.
<DS[Escapes]> 6* Erevis pauses, then pokes one puffed cheek with her finger.
* Megumi gasps loudly, as her composure is broken.
<DS[Escapes]> 6* Erevis seems pleased with herself, oddly enough
* Megumi is totally confused now, staring blankly.
<DS[Escapes]> 6* Erevis just keeps her pleased expression, giving no explanation for her behavior.
<Megumi> Beloved Erevis. Hrmph.
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> Yes? 6* She tilts her head, as if answering to the name.
<Megumi> Are you finished with your practice?
* Megumi eyes the bo.
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> My body has already returned to a normal rhythm rate since you tackled me, so there is little reason to resume.
<Megumi> I... See... So I was interefering with my melodramatics.
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> You are lucky I did not injure you. 6* She notes with a frown. "You startled me."
* Megumi looks like a scolded kid now. 1"I was only playing..."
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> I know. 6* She loses the frown.
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> But I would feel guilty if I injured you
* Megumi peers downward with lips pursed. 1"I know... I will not do it again..."
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> You can play, if you like. Just do not do it when I have a weapon in my hand.
<Megumi> You are quite skilled even without a weapon...
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> Hm. This is true.
<DS[Escapes]> 6* Erevis' ego, always intact.
<Megumi> Where can we play, then?
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> I do not know. What and where do you wish to play?
* Megumi narrows her eyes at Erevis. 1"I have an idea."
<DS[Escapes]> 6* Erevis raises a brow slightly, but keeps her famous neutral face. "What is that?"
* Megumi grins widely. 1"Teach me something from the future that will not affect anything."
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> I do not understand. Teach you what exactly? 6* She looks confused.
<Megumi> Ohhh! You can be so difficult sometimes.
* Megumi 's tail homes in on Erevis.
<DS[Escapes]> 6* Erevis goes to respond, but eyes the tail. "Your tail is threatening me."
<Megumi> Eh?
* Megumi peers back at it, which just twitches.
* Megumi eyes Erevis oddly.
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> It was threatening me. 6* She says sullenly, as if she thinks Megumi doesn't believe her.
<Megumi> It is a tail. How does it threaten?
<DS[Escapes]> 6* Erevis just closes her lips tightly, refusing to tell.
<Megumi> That is what I mean!
<Megumi> You never tell me." 6Pouts.
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> ... 6* She pursues her lips tighter together.
<Megumi> ...
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> ...
<Megumi> ...!
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> ...
* Megumi kisses Erevis, staring with a glare.
<DS[Escapes]> 6* Erevis glares back.
* Megumi sits up, straddling Erevis. 1"...I lose." 6Sulks.
<DS[Escapes]> 6* Erevis lays there still, since she's being straddled, but she shifts to bring her upper body some, using elbows. "A wise decision."
<Megumi> Eh?
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> Admitting defeat.
* Megumi frowns at Erevis. 1"To lose is wise?"
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> I did not say that.
<Megumi> You do everytime I lose to you...
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> I.. 6* She frowns again.
* Megumi suddenly smiles and hops off. 1"Then again, I like losing to Erevis."
<DS[Escapes]> 6* Erevis stands up, adjusting her pink sweater
<Megumi> Say, Beloved, do you know why my wounds disappeared?
* Megumi twists slightly, studying herself. She is still running around in her underwear after all. 1"I could have sworn I was still injured this morning. How long -did- I blank out for?"
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> I do not know. You were under the influence of catnip.
* Megumi gapes. 1"...O-Oh.."
<DS[Escapes]> 6* Erevis seems confused on how she does not know this
* Megumi leans forward, her hands clasped behind her. 1"What is wrong, Beloved?"
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> I was merely unsure on how you would not know you were under the influence of catnip.
<Megumi> Am I supposed to..?
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> I do not know. I suppose not.
<Megumi> Nothing bad becomes of it, right?
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> It would depend on where and when you were under the influence.
<Megumi> That is true.
* Megumi ponders it and begins to look distressed.
<DS[Escapes]> 6* Erevis tilts her head. "However, you can be 'cute' under the influence, so it is not all bad."
* Megumi blinks, turning red during a few bats, then purses her lips and turns her head away.
<Megumi> Hrmph, I bet I act like a fool.
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> A little. 6* She nods.
* Megumi comicly staggers back, almost falling over.
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> Is something wrong?
<Megumi> B-Beloved agreed I was foolish!
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> That does not mean you do not act cute as well.
* Megumi continues blushing, but looks pained at the same time.
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> I have upset you.
<Megumi> A little..
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> I apologize. 6* She bows her head a little, glancing to the side.
* Megumi leans in and peers up at her. 1"...You can make it up to me."
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> How?
* Megumi squints. 1"Show me what you know about Mister Carmichael's manual."
<DS[Escapes]> 6* Erevis blinks once, leaning her head back. "You wish to do that now?"
* Megumi closes the distance, eyes narrowed.
<DS[Escapes]> 6* Erevis shifts a little, crossing her arms. "I see."
<Megumi> ...Wh-what does that mean?
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> I was merely considering the location.
* Megumi gazes around. 1"..W-We can go elsewhere.."
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> Are you sure? 6* She notes seriously.
* Megumi nods slowly, curious at the seriousness.
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> Very well. 6* She turns and walks out.
<Megumi> B-Beloved..?
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> Yes?
<DS[Escapes]> 6* Erevis glances over her shoulder.
* Megumi hops to her feet and scurries after. 1"You just walked off.."
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> I was going to another location.
<Megumi> ...Oh..
* Megumi catches up and peers at her sideways.
<DS[Escapes]> 6* Erevis' expression is unreadable as she walks down to the apartment.
* Megumi watches her as they go, getting uneasy.
<DS[Escapes]> 6* Erevis steps into their apartment, still not changing in her outward appearance.
<DS[Escapes]> 6* She pulls off her gloves, laying them down on the table.
* Megumi enters and shuts the door, then stands there with her hands clasped behind her, rocking on her heels nervously.
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> You should lay down on the bed. 6* She instructs.
<Megumi> Are you... alright?
<DS[Escapes]> 6* Erevis looks at Megumi, playing with a strand of her long hair. "I am fine."
* Megumi rubs her head slightly, then moves over and sits on the edge of the bed. 1"...Seem tense."
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> I apologize. 6* She drops her hands together, moving over and sitting down beside Megumi.
* Megumi follows her and leans her head slightly to study further. 1"You realize... I was kidding about needing to apologise to me this way, right?"
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> Kidding? 6* She looks momentarily confused.
<Megumi> Joking. Playing with humour.
* Megumi squints. 1"...This is not a requirement of apology. I was not so offended."
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> I see. I apologize.
<Megumi> Now what are you apologising for?
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> For offering an apology when it was not required.
* Megumi reaches over and clutches Erevis' close arm. 1"...There is no need to apologise. If anyone should, I should for misleading you..."
<DS[Escapes]> 6* Erevis leans over and kisses Megumi on the lips before she can get it all out. "I was performing Earth humor." 6* She smiles a little.
* Megumi purses her lips, having been had once more. 1"...Mmph.."
<DS[Escapes]> 6* Erevis folds her hands together. "Um. Are you ready to remove your articles of clothing?"
* Megumi blinks twice. 1"Eh? Y-you want to anyway?"
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> Is this not what we had planned to do?
<DS[Escapes]> 6* Erevis tilts her head, confused
* Megumi stares off into space a moment, lost between what is a joke and what is not.
<DS[Escapes]> 6* As Megumi stares, Erevis reaches up, playing with that same strand again.
* Megumi peers over as she's distracted by a sh-- er, well, bright object, then closes her eyes as rosey colours return to her face. 1"..I w-would like to..."
<DS[Escapes]> 6* Erevis nods. "Very well." 6* She seems to be working out a strategy in her head.
* Megumi studies her, then gazes downward glumly. 1"I j-just need... to t-take these off... r-right?"
<DS[Escapes]> 6* Erevis raises a finger to Megumi's lips to stop her from talking, then leaves over, removing Megumi's remaining clothing herself; very delicately. Her touch without the gloves is the same unsual feeling as ever.
* Megumi lies back during the 'ordeal,' as sitting might make the latter half a bit difficult, holding her hands up somewhat protectively in a subliminal way.
<DS[Escapes]> 6* Erevis leans over to kiss Megumi on the lips again
* Megumi tries to be a little more receptive, seeing as thus far her reluctance or ignorance has often led to it stopping before it begins. She lifts her chin to meet Erevis once its predictable enough, and tries to move her hands away even if they seem to stick around on their own whims.
<DS[Escapes]> 6* Erevis snuggles against Megumi's side, after breaking the kiss, and strokes her forehead gently. "You are scared?"
* Megumi purses her lips stubbornly. 1"...I am not afraid. Beloved Erevis is not scary.."
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> Then you are braver than I am. 6* She notes.
* Megumi turns her head slightly and frowns. 1"H-huh...?"
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> I was afraid. 6* She notes to Megumi.
* Megumi softens in expression slightly and considers that. Her hand moves up and she lightly bites the end of her own knuckle in response.
<DS[Escapes]> 6* Erevis studies her, then kisses her forehead. "It will be easier if you relax."
* Megumi nods slowly, closing her eyes and inhaling deeply, letting her hand fall away as she exhales.
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> I will engage in what human's refer to as 'foreplay'.
* Megumi blinks a few times. 1"...O-okay, ...I think."
<DS[Escapes]> 6* Erevis takes a deep breath, then leans over and kisses her on the neck, like before.
* Megumi adjusts accordingly, tensing in a strange way. It's one of those damn secret points Erevis discovered ...retroactively!
<DS[Escapes]> 6* Erevis leans over and puts her hand on one of Megumi's breasts; she doesn't need to do much, since she knows what her own touch can do on sensitive spots, but she does attempt to move her fingers and hands in a way the book says is "pleasantly feeling".
* Megumi winces and shifts back, but granted the static feelings are a wonderful thing when used properly. Her back lifts a bit and she takes in a breath with greater urgency than stress relief.
<DS[Escapes]> 6* Erevis leans over and kisses her on the mouth again, timing it for when she lifts upward
* Megumi opens her eyes, peering as her attempt at drawing breath draws Erevis instead, surprised a moment before letting her eyelids close partly. She meets the kiss with her own and eventually figures out breathing as necessary.
<DS[Escapes]> 6* Erevis breaks off the kiss and moves down to kiss her collar bone, apparantly hitting as many places as she can think of that are sensitive, or possibly sensitive.
* Megumi huffs as Erevis moves away, biting at her lip and twisting as Erevis descends, gripping at the sheets and closing her eyes in a pleasant manner.
<DS[Escapes]> 6* The ETP logo spins, indicating time has moved on!
* Megumi hides behind her hands, more or less, likely having made at least a dozen strange noises.
<DS[Escapes]> 6* Erevis peers at her quietly now.
* Megumi gulps.
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> Are you alright? 6* She sounds concerned. Overly, perhaps.
<Megumi> ...Y-yes, I a-am fine.."
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> ... Was it not pleasant?
<Megumi> It w-was very p-pleasant.
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> I am glad.
<DS[Escapes]> 6* Erevis lays her head down beside Megumi.
* Megumi gulps again. She entertains the idea that Billy had. Her face behind her hands, she's invisible!
<DS[Escapes]> 6* Erevis goes quiet now.
* Megumi catches the silence, eventually seperating her fingers enough to look through.
<DS[Escapes]> 6* Erevis is just laying there, looking slightly worried, playing with a strand of her own hair again
<Megumi> ..Wh-what is wrong... B-Beloved..?
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> You do not appear to be okay. You are covering your face.
<Megumi> ..I am e-embarassed..!
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> You are? 6* She looks confused now
* Megumi pouts slightly, moving one hand away. 1"Y-yes.."
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> You are embarrassed by what I did to you?
<Megumi> ... ...N-no..? I.. do not know.
* Megumi frowns. 1"I-It was v-very pleasant. Do not d-dare object to it."
<DS[Escapes]> 6* Erevis tilts her head.
* Megumi puffs her cheeks. 1"..I w-was loud."
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> Yes. Some people are loud if they enjoy the act of sex.
<Megumi> A-Are you..?
<DS[Escapes]> <Erevis> No.
* Megumi pouts profusely!
<DS[Escapes]> 6* Erevis frowns. "I could be loud if you wish."
<Megumi> ..N-no...!
* Megumi takes a deep breath. 1"...I ..I am sure it is because I am.. u-unaccustomed."
