[21:04] <13@DeathStar> Stardate: 10-590.4.6 - 2 days after last ep -
[21:04] <13@DeathStar> Location: House of D
[21:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at his datapad, quiet so far. There's been no word on the operation by Cassandra's team yet, so Darien's held off giving out any information relevent. So far it's been a typical morning
15[21:06] * 13@Sammael sits up slowly, checking over her wound as she rubs her eyes, the burn fading well into the healing skin, she stretches a bit without a wince and pulls out her datapad from a bag by her dresser, inputting information into some nanites.
[21:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya is in the kitchen, trying to find something she dare eat
[21:07] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek steps out of the door that leads to the area of the house where he lives. Glancing around he spots Aya. 1Hungry, luv?
[21:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya glances at him, nodding a few times. She goes to say something when there's a knock on the door
[21:08] <13@Xanatos> 6* Drasek tilts his head, then moves towards the door to open it.
03[21:08] * Xanatos is now known as Drasek
15[21:08] * 13Chad`Winters steps out of his room, a hoody on and jeans. He makes his way to the kitchen, his hair short now, but a five o clock shadow still present
[21:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien looks up as Drasek passes. Standing at the door is Erevis, Megumi, and Zephyr. Erevis is holding a plate of pancakes, eggs, and bacon. Zephyr is leaning on Megumi, looking tired
15[21:09] * 13@Sammael pulls on a clean shirt, a bit loose about her frame and some slacks before fixing her hair, then walking out barefoot to the living room.
[21:09] <13Dawn> 6Megumi peers at Zephyr, shaking her head.
[21:09] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> I have brought breakfast.
15[21:10] * 13@Drasek arches a brow. 1Brilliant Revi. Thank you. 6He reaches out to take the plate from her.
15[21:10] * 13@Sammael looks over to the three quietly and smiles. "That was very thoughtful of you."
15[21:11] * 13Chad`Winters glances at the three and moves into the kitchen to the fridge. 1"Erevis, Megumi and Zephyr are here. And Erevis brought food." 6He says to Aya as he opens the fridge.
[21:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya blinks. "Really?" 6* She moves to stare at them as they come in, waving at them. "Thank you."
15[21:11] * 13@Drasek steps back and moves to place the food on the table.
15[21:12] * 13@Sammael moves over and takes a seat at the table by Darien.
[21:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods, moving inside. She's dressed in a white blouse and jeans for once, her hair in two ponytails. She takes a seat as well. Zephyr smiles at Aya, still leaning on Megumi
15[21:13] * 13Chad`Winters opens the fridge and pulls out a bottle of juice. He moves over and grabs a banana and moves back out into the main room with the others
15[21:13] * 13@Sammael looks at Chad as he steps back in. "Good morning Chad."
[21:13] <13Dawn> 6Megumi hobbles in to sit next to Erevis, squinting at Zephyr.
15[21:14] * 13@Drasek shifts around to take a seat, peering over at Erevis. 1Must've got wind the lot of us stink at cooking.
[21:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr takes a seat beside her, yawning. She's wearing a trench coat as usual, and under it seems to be in a pink shirt with kittens on it, and a skirt
15[21:14] * 13Chad`Winters grunts and moves back towards his room.
[21:14] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> You were at my house yesterday looking for food from Alpha Zephyr.
[21:14] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya sits down as well now, peering at Drasek curiously
09[21:15] <13@Sammael> "I have been resting thus unable to continue at my attempts to cook."
15[21:15] * 13@Drasek coughs and glances up slightly, whistling.
15[21:16] * 13@Sammael smiles, not seeming to notice, as she turns her gaze to Darien.
[21:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien lowers his datapad now, peering at everyone, an amused look
[21:16] <13Dawn> <Megumi> Something funny, Darien?
15[21:17] * 13@Sammael slowly sits up and ajusts herself a little, fixing the loose shirt.
[21:17] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Just that it feels like old times
15[21:17] * 13Chad`Winters moves into his room and over to his work bench, setting his stuff to the side. He goes back to working on something
15[21:18] * 13@Sammael smiles over at Darien as he says that, pleased to hear a happy tone from him.
[21:18] <13@Drasek> If by old times, you mean the lot of us are going to starve unless you get a new maid. Then yeah, it sure does.
[21:18] <13Dawn> <Megumi> She cooked that well?
03[21:18] * Dawn is now known as Megumi
15[21:19] * 13@Sammael blinks a bit. "Fiore was an excellent cook."
[21:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien puts some food on his plate instead of responding
[21:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr yawns now, smiling at Aya. "Hey, you, want to hang out today?" 6* Aya pauses, then nods a few times.
15[21:20] * 13@Sammael starts to fill her own when Darien is done. A happy little look on her face.
[21:21] <13Megumi> <Megumi> Hm. I did not pay much attention, I must admit. It was well enough when I joined the table to be with everyone, but I often just ventured to have beloved's or cook my own. One of the twins only seemed to make pastries and desserts, so the other must be quite adept at meals.
[21:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr leans against Megumi. "Nekonee, will you take us somewhere fun to plaY?"
[21:22] <13Megumi> 6Megumi turns to stare at Zephyr. 1"...H-Huh..? Like what?"
[21:22] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hm. Where should we go, Aya? 6* She lays on Megumi's lap now, stretching. "The park?"
15[21:23] * 13@Drasek glances between the 3, listening to their conversation, eating a pancake like a piece of bread.
[21:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya watches the two, , getting her own food. She eats slowly. Erevis just eats her food, ignoring the two for now until she's dragged in
15[21:23] * 13@Sammael eats, she stops to look back at Darien. "How was everything while I was asleep?"
[21:24] <13@Drasek> Well Revi. Guess that means you and I should go do something for fun. Since you're being left out.
[21:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis nods, then something lowers into her lap that had been near the ceiling. Isis. "Then you can spend time with Isis as well."
[21:25] <13@Drasek> 6* Drasek pauses and points, then glances up. 1Was she on the ceiling, luv?
15[21:26] * 13@Sammael blinks a bit and looks over in disbelief, looking all over for wires or something. "How..."
[21:26] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> She was near it. She seems to enjoy it. 6* She sets Isis in her lap, much like Zephyr is in Megumi's.
09[21:26] <13@Sammael> "How did she do that...?"
[21:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien drinks his juice, then wiggles his fingers. "The force."
[21:27] <13@Drasek> Just so i'm not completely mental, were you doing that, or was she?
[21:27] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> That was my doing.
[21:27] <13Megumi> <Megumi> Beloved is psionic and I manipulate the properties of matter. It is... quite plausible." 6She stares at everyone being in disbelief.
[21:27] <13Megumi> She is obviously not afraid of heights like I was.
09[21:27] <13@Sammael> "It's just at her age... that's incredible."
15[21:28] * 13@Sammael grins a bit.
[21:28] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Ooo, are you still afraid of heights?
[21:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr perks up
15[21:28] * 13@Drasek waves his hand, just making sure the baby isn't already stronger than him.
04[21:28] <13Megumi> 6Megumi goes to say something to Sammael since Erevis pointed out it was her, not Isis, but looks to Zephyr squinting. 1"Wh-why..!?"
[21:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr grins evilly now. "No reason."
15[21:29] * 13@Sammael seems to collect all the information herself after a bit, she smiles more, her expression is actually even more relaxed then usual.
15[21:31] * 13@Drasek glances at them all, then leans over to poke Isis' nose, making a goofy face.
[21:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* Isis goes cross eyed, then tries to grab his hand, flailing about like a useless baby
15[21:33] * 13@Drasek smirks and then moves his finger close enough to let her grab it.
15[21:33] * 13@Sammael closes her eyes a little bit and sits back, looking like she's fallen asleep suddenly.
[21:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis finishes her small portion of food, then shifts to sit Isis up. "Do you desire to hold her?" 6* Isis grabs onto his finger
[21:33] <13@Drasek> Sure. 6He reaches out with his hand to pick her up.
[21:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya munches on her food silently, peering toward Zephyr and Megumi. Zephyr is reaching up and groping Megumi. "I think we should go sky diving, or to a mountain."
[21:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* There's a loud noise outside, and the sensor alarms go off. Weapons begin to activate.
[21:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr jerks up and practically falls off Megumi. Erevis rises as well, turning about, and Darien is already grabbing his datapad, checking the information. Isis wails loudly.
15[21:35] * 13Chad`Winters glances up, sliding a clip into Ebony. He moves out of his room and down the hall, clicking the safety off.
[21:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya looks up from eating, worry on her face. "Is it V.I.?"
[21:36] <13Megumi> <Megumi> I--...!?" 6Her ears twitch a bit and she glances over just a split second before the sirens go off. She stands. 1"Starr?"
[21:36] <13@Drasek> 6* Drasek makes a face and puts his hands over Isis' ears, rocking her slightly to try and quieten her down.
[21:36] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Someone's out. Not human. Famfrit, I think.
[21:36] <13Megumi> ... There are only two of us. Are you sure?
[21:37] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Pretty sure.
15[21:37] * 13@Sammael rubs her ears, eyes still closed. "Do the alarms have to keep going...?"
[21:37] <13Megumi> Where? Quiet the sirens, if you will..
15[21:37] * 13Chad`Winters eyes Darien then clicks the safety off, sliding the gun back under his sweatshirt.
[21:37] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> I sense an injured mind. 6* She states. Darien flips them off, using the cameras via his datapad.
09[21:37] <13@Sammael> "Thank you dear."
[21:37] <13Megumi> Injured mind...?" 6Her eyes widen slightly.
[21:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Isis keeps crying, apparantly upset either at the noise, or something else. Erevis moves forward and psionically opens the door, stepping outside
[21:38] <13@Drasek> Injured mind? Famfy the Famfrit is broken mentally, now? 6He continues to rock her, using a hand to try and distract her from the crying.
[21:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr stands up, looking at Megumi with a look of concern, biting her lip. "I'll go check it out." 6* She hurries for the door
15[21:39] * 13Chad`Winters eyes Zephyr move for the door than the others, sizing up what everyones going to do.
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes his datapad. "I've got a visual on him. He's outside. Looks like he's been hurt."
15[21:40] * 13@Drasek sits there with a baby, looking awkward, he's trying to calm her down, but he isn't her mommas.
09[21:40] <13@Sammael> "I will get my medical equipment."
[21:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis steps outside now, peering toward Noname, who's laying there, smoke rising from burn injuries all over his body. He's face first in the ground. She walks toward him. Zephyr steps out a moment later, aiming. Aya moves to stand by Chad
15[21:41] * 13@Sammael gets up slowly and heads for her room.
[21:41] <13Megumi> 6Megumi moves out after Zephyr, gasping. 1"Wh-what happened..!?"
[21:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien steps out as well, eyeing the injured Famfrit. "Looks like he got hit by something a lot." 6* He muses. Erevis walks over and kneels, eyeing the burn patterns.
[21:42] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> It is hyperspace burns. It is likely they burned internal organs.
[21:42] <13Megumi> <Megumi> A-Ao...?" 6She clenches her teeth.
15[21:42] * 13Chad`Winters moves over to the door way and leans against it, watching them.
15[21:43] * 13@Sammael comes out a short time later with her bag, moving over to the Famfrit.
15[21:43] * 13Megumi hangs her head slightly, as if something was practically confirmed. She moves to put her hands out, to examine Noname herself and see what she can set to revitalizing.
[21:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya steps out quickly, moving for the Famfrit. She kneels down, revolted at the sight of burnt flesh, but touching him anyway.
15[21:43] * 13@Drasek moves to the doorway by Chad, peering out and rocking Isis, looking around for a bottle of sorts that he could give her.
[21:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks away. She looks guilty. "I am sorry..."
15[21:43] * 13Chad`Winters clicks his tongue and pulls Ebony back out. 1"Think happy thoughts. 6He moves out towards his daughter andt he others.
[21:43] <13Megumi> What are you apologising for?
[21:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* Isis' bag is on the floor, but it seems Isis is picking up on the moods of everyone, and crying regardless.
[21:44] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> It is my fault that Ao is doing what she does...'
[21:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien kneels down, examining his body as Aya and Megumi work to rebuild his injured body. He pulls out a datapad from Noname, clicking it on.
[21:44] <13Megumi> Nonsense. I decided not to kill her when it was most feasible. ... I still will not... I cannot... regret that...
09[21:44] <13@Sammael> "Do not hold yourself repsonsible for her actions Erevis."
15[21:45] * 13@Sammael pulls out a datapad and some nanites, watchimg Megumi work. "Is it safe to assist you Megumi?"
[21:45] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> Yet she does what she is doing because she wants me to be who I once was, does she not?
[21:45] <13Megumi> It does not matter.
15[21:45] * 13@Sammael looks up at her. "That does not make you at fault, that simply names her own motivations."
[21:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis takes a deep breath, trying to steady herself, then moves in to help Isis so Drasek isn't drowned in tears. She looks visiblely shaken.
15[21:46] * 13@Drasek just sighs, rocking her, wishing everyone would calm down.
[21:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya closes her eyes as she works, trying not to see Noname in her mind as she works along side Megumi. Darien flips through the datapad silently, stepping up beside Chad.
15[21:47] * 13Chad`Winters glances around, keeping an eye out. 1"Odd's are she'll never change, there's probably nothign you can do about it." 6He glances down at Aya. 1"You did good."
15[21:48] * 13@Sammael sighs gently and monitors Noname. "He's healing nicely already."
[21:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* Together, they can repair the damage, but it's extensive, and not something that's going to be easy. He'll probably have to get regular treatments for a while.
15[21:48] * 13@Drasek gives Erevis a half smile, putting a hand on her shoulder, after giving her Isis of course.
15[21:49] * 13@Sammael frowns a little. "Don't overwork yourself. He's stable, we can put him on nanites and pain killers and take this slowly."
[21:49] <13Megumi> At least he will live..
[21:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis sets with Isis, rocking the baby, hiding her thoughts from the child, so she calms down without knowing what she is really feeling. Zephyr sits near Megumi, worry on her face, watching her.
[21:49] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I think you've done enough healing for now, Megumi. 6* She notes, over protective
09[21:49] <13@Sammael> "She has. We can safely move him inside at least."
15[21:49] * 13Megumi blinks some at Zephyr, then pauses and nods, sitting back some with a sigh.
[21:50] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> I have an address here in here - with some notes. Apparantly Noname was investigating something outside the city. I can't read most of it, I think it's in Famfrit, but I recognize coordinates.
15[21:50] * 13Chad`Winters lowers Ebony.
15[21:50] * 13@Sammael looks up a bit. "Perhaps Megumi can read it?"
15[21:50] * 13@Drasek glances out towards the others. Standing by Erevis for now.
[21:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien nods, then holds out the datapad to Megumi
[21:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis peers toward Drasek, then offers him a tiny smile to try to ease his mind
15[21:51] * 13Megumi takes a look at it, briefly skimming through it
[21:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* It's mostly in code, but it's definitely Famfrit. Mentions of energy outside. Something about Megumi. But that's the most she can make
[21:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes the injured Famfrit, then looks at Chad. "Help me carry him to the couch."
15[21:52] * 13@Drasek seems to relax slightly at that, her mission probably succeeding, though the thought of Ao still being out there causes him to remain a bit tense, since he's sure she'll be getting desperate at this point.
[21:53] <13Megumi> Well, it is in Famfrit, but it is also encrypted. I would need time to devise a cypher.
15[21:53] * 13Chad`Winters eyes Darien then moves to lift him up. 1"Aya, you should get inside."
[21:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya takes her hands off finaly, looking winded. "A-Alright." 6* She gets to her feet, tiredly. Darien moves over and helps Chad lift Noname up, moving toward the house.
[21:53] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, I could go check out the coordinates - I'm good at spying.
15[21:53] * 13@Sammael gets up and grabs her bag. She moves after the two.
[21:54] <13Megumi> Not alone..!
[21:54] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> But--
[21:55] <13Chad`Winters> Look at what happened to Noname. 6He calls back at Zephyr as he moves inside
[21:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien moves Noname to the couch and lays him down with Chad's help.
[21:55] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm not some loser like him!
15[21:56] * 13@Sammael kneels by noname and treats him with some nanites and pain killers. "Should I add a sedative?" *she looks up at Darien*
[21:56] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Yeah, that'll be fine. I'll get Ariel to watch him for us.
[21:56] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> I guess we got a choice. We can go check out this location now, send a small team to look at it, or wait for Megumi to decrypt it.
15[21:57] * 13@Sammael nods and applies to sedative as well. "Rushing in may not be the best idea."
[21:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr walks in, puffing her cheeks.
[21:57] <13Chad`Winters> Noname wouldn't have came here if he didn't think it was relevant to Megumi or her child.
[21:57] <13Megumi> On the other hand, if I take the information at hand, rushing may be what is necessary.
[21:57] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> I think so, too, which is why I think we need to go now.
[21:58] <13Megumi> Given that Noname decided to come here, included my name and coordinates it may be something sensitive that will move if we wait too long.
09[21:58] <13@Sammael> "Very well then."
[21:58] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Then we go check it out.
[21:58] <13Megumi> It may only be encrypted so that outsiders do not flail upon this.
[21:58] <13Chad`Winters> Or he only knows Famfrit.
[21:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis hesitates, looking at Isis. She clearly desires to go along, but doesn't want to abandon her child.
[21:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien grabs his datpad, using it to get a shuttle ready for them.
15[21:59] * 13@Sammael looks over at Isis. "It would be unwise to leave the child unattended... and with Ao in the picture I should not be left with her."
15[21:59] * 13Megumi eyes Chad. 1"I can read Famfrit. As I said, this is encrypted."
15[21:59] * 13@Drasek peers at Erevis, then rubs the side of his head. 1Think Ariel could watch her while she watches Noname?
[21:59] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> I do not want Isis to be left alone with only one person to guard her, and to watch over the Famfrit.
[21:59] <13Megumi> I can stay.
[22:00] <13Chad`Winters> You probably should stay.
[22:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers at Megumi. "You sure? I thought you wanted to save Ao."
[22:00] <13Megumi> I do wish to save Ao, but given our collective resources... I am sure it would make you happier as well if I stayed away from fray right now. Without the two psychics, we are a bit lacking on alertness, right?
[22:01] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Well, yeah...
09[22:01] <13@Sammael> "Erevis should stay then. If it is a matter of alertness, we have me."
[22:01] <13@Drasek> Could give you time to break that Cypher too, luv. 6He notes to Megumi.
09[22:01] <13@Sammael> "My bond should alert us..."
[22:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis hangs her head. "I can watch the child, Kitten, if you desire to go."
15[22:02] * 13Megumi puffs her cheeks somewhat.
[22:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien finishes on his datapad. "Time to move. Decide now who's coming."
[22:03] <13Chad`Winters> Aya can stay and help watch Isis.
[22:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya nods. "I will." 6* She looks like she's gotten her breath back
15[22:03] * 13Megumi blinks a bit and looks to Aya and then to Erevis.
15[22:04] * 13@Sammael shoulders her bag.
[22:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis lifts her head, giving Megumi a smile - to let her know she can do what she wants
15[22:05] * 13Chad`Winters glances at Megumi. 1"We going to need to get you body armor for your stomach?"
[22:05] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr jerks at that. "W-What makes you ask that?!"
[22:06] <13Chad`Winters> You're overprotectiveness. The fact you've covered her stomach several times during combat. Should I keep going?
15[22:06] * 13Megumi jerks a bit and squints at Chad.
[22:06] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Maybe I just like her stomach!
[22:06] <13Chad`Winters> Right. 6He closes his eyes now, waiting.
[22:06] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien peers at them all now, amused again
15[22:06] * 13@Drasek pauses and snorts. 1I'm going to be an uncle again
[22:06] <13@Drasek> ?
[22:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya looks at Megumi in surprise, then smiles. "Congratulations."
[22:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head to the side, not commenting, since she doesn't lie
[22:07] <13Megumi> Against Ao, armor is pointless. I must be able to move..." 6She smiles weakly at Aya.
[22:07] <13Megumi> We should go.
[22:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien turns and steps out into the backyard where he's landing a shuttle. "Yes, we should."
15[22:07] * 13@Sammael steps out after him.
15[22:08] * 13Chad`Winters moves over to Aya, kissing her on her head. 1"I'll come back safe."
[22:08] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> I know. I'll protect everyone here. 6* Erevis watches them go, waving Isis' hand at them
[22:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien walks up the ramp of the shuttle, moving to take a seat.
[22:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr hurries on out, hands in her coat pocket now, looking sheepish as she moves on up the shuttle ramp.
15[22:09] * 13@Drasek goes 'boop' when he touches Isis' nose and nods to Erevis, moving to get on the shuttle.
15[22:09] * 13Chad`Winters moves, stepping outside himself and moves towards the ramp and up it. He takes a seat, closing his eyes now.
15[22:09] * 13@Sammael takes her usual seat in the copilot's chair.
[22:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien flicks switches and gets control of it. He grips the controls and after Megumi is on the shuttle, lifts it up into the air. He begins to turn the shuttle around and fly off.
15[22:12] * 13Megumi sits quietly, eyes darting back and forth over the datapad as she works out decrypting the cypher in her head. She always preferred doing it that way rather than wastefully writing it down. Though the last time something so complicated was needed was when Zephyr almost jumped them into the dead Nyr star...
15[22:12] * 13@Sammael sits back, relaxing as she enjoys Darien's flying. "Been a while."
15[22:12] * 13Megumi eyes Zephyr suddenly, squinting.
[22:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr is looking out the window, fidgeting, looking uneased
[22:13] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Yes. I want you to stay in the shuttle when we get there. 6* He states.
15[22:14] * 13@Sammael nods a bit. "Alright dear."
15[22:14] * 13Chad`Winters stands up and moves to the back, leaning against the shuttle wall now, his arms crossing.
[22:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers at him walking by
15[22:15] * 13@Drasek hums slightly, then pauses. 1Hmm. Think we'll actually get to fight Ao, this go around?
[22:15] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> She's running out of handy helpers.
[22:15] <13Megumi> I do not wish to fight her..
[22:16] <13Chad`Winters> Than she'll continue attacking people you care about.
[22:16] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Maybe we can talk her down.
[22:16] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr fidgets more, biting her lower lip.
15[22:16] * 13@Sammael frowns. "It may be preferrable to talk her down."
[22:17] <13Chad`Winters> Let's see how that works, than.
15[22:17] * 13@Sammael looks down at her hands, her look going dark. "Last time she nearly died, I did die. Though I do not know how much of her attempts to cut off the bond have lowered those chances."
[22:17] <13@Drasek> Well if it comes down to it. I think I might be able to take her this time. But i'll let the lot of you do your talking bit.
[22:17] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> I'll see how it works from a safe distance with all the weapons I can find aimed at her
[22:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* They fly over the forests and landscape of Japan, heading along it. Darien eyes the coordinates, then begins to lower them. "We're almost there. We'll land here and investigate the area."
09[22:19] <13@Sammael> "I'll alert you if I feel anything."
[22:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* Suddenly, there's a bright light and the shuttle begins to spin. The back engines are completely gone.
[22:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* Alarms wail
[22:20] <13Megumi> I think we found her.
15[22:20] * 13@Sammael grabs her seat. "A-Aparently I don't feel anything!"
15[22:20] * 13Chad`Winters slams across the shuttle and into the opposite wall, letting out a grunt of pain.
[22:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien grips the controls as the shuttle begins to plummet downward. Zephyr is thrown into a chair, wincing painfully. She tries to get to her feet.
15[22:21] * 13@Sammael secures her safety harness and holds on. Frowning unhappily.
15[22:21] * 13Chad`Winters grabs onto the back of a chair as he tries to keep himself from flying around again.
[22:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr frowns herself, eyeing their decent. It's clear their landing might be fatal. Darien trie to open the ramp, but it doesn't respond.
15[22:22] * 13@Drasek is thrown from his seat, crashing into the side of the chair and then slamming onto the ground of the shuttle, grunting slightly. 1...wish I could teleport right about now.
[22:23] <13Megumi> 6Megumi closes her eyes and creates at least a dozen layers of varying-width thin crystal to break one by one and slow their fall. Not the softest method, but should be more useful than freefall.
[22:23] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Megumi's actions, then rushes forward, forming her gun and firing into the viewport shielding in front of Darien. She leaps out through it and onto the nose of the shuttle, gripping it
15[22:24] * 13@Sammael stares forward at Zephyr in a mix of shock and amazement.
15[22:24] * 13Chad`Winters looks over the chair and at Zephyr, whose gripping onto the nose of the shuttle
[22:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien jerks in surprise as the window breaks on him. He holds up a hand, then peers out at her perching, forming her dragoon bustah with one hand, aiming it at the ground, timing it in her hand as Megumi slows them down
15[22:25] * 13@Drasek pulls himself to his feet, and grips the seat for stability, trying to move forward some.
[22:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* She unleashes her dragoon bustah blast at the last moment into the ground. The force jerks back into the shuttle, crunching the front part, and then having it fall back onto the ground proper side up
15[22:27] * 13Chad`Winters slams into the back of the chair from the abrupt stop, his eyes rolling to the back of his head from the pain.
[22:27] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien slams into the front, then back into his chair after they land again. He has a cut on his forehead, and he groans
[22:28] <13Megumi> Always with the great landings...
15[22:28] * 13@Sammael makes a loud yelp as she slams agaist her harness, she blacks out for a moment before slowly shaking her head to clear the sudden fog.
15[22:28] * 13@Drasek is bounced around like a ball, making grunts of pain.
[22:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Smoke rises about them after the landing. All is quiet now, aside from the creaks the shuttle makes, and the groans they make
15[22:29] * 13Chad`Winters slowly rises, his left hand moving to his right shoulder.
[22:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien unstraps himself finally, reaching to grab a gun and energy sword from a compartment. He gets out of his seat, checking on Sam
15[22:30] * 13Chad`Winters turns and slams his right shoulder into the shuttle wall, growling from the pain.
15[22:30] * 13@Sammael shakes her head a little and groans, slowly coming to, looking around.
15[22:30] * 13Megumi slowly starts to rise, thinking she may have gotten the cypher, but being jostled and panicked didn't help resolve it.
15[22:31] * 13Chad`Winters takes several deep breathes, then closes his eyes. 1"Darien, what happened to Zephyr?"
15[22:31] * 13@Drasek slowly pushes himself to his feet, glancing around. 1Is everyone alright?
[22:31] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Can't see her. 6* He eyes the crunched up front of the shuttle, with smoke rising from it.
15[22:31] * 13Chad`Winters starts moving to the front of the shuttle and starts climbing out the front hole Zephyr made.
15[22:32] * 13@Sammael sits back, unstrapping herself and looking up at Darien. "You're hurt..."
[22:32] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> I'm fine. 6* He follows Chad out now, brushing glass aside as he hops onto the ground. He eyes the ruined front, checking it for blood, since it doesn't look like anyone could have survived the impact.
15[22:33] * 13Chad`Winters hops off the shuttle, looking around now. 1"Zephyr!"
15[22:33] * 13@Sammael collects her bag, getting up and looking around. "Anyone need help?"
15[22:33] * 13@Drasek frowns and shifts to climb out after them. 1Zeph?
[22:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* A meek voice speaks up. "Here."
15[22:34] * 13Chad`Winters glances towards the voice and moves over to it.
15[22:34] * 13Megumi finally exits the shuttle, holding her head a bit.
[22:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr is upside down in a tree, her trench coat caught up in the branches. She has a cut along her arm, and black smudges on her face, but seems alright aide from that. Her right hand trembles as well
15[22:35] * 13Chad`Winters moves under the tree, judging something. 1"I'll catch you." 6He pulls out his pistol from behind his back.
15[22:35] * 13@Sammael gets out of the shuttle and heads after them with her medical supplies.
[22:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr widens her eyes, flailing. "W-What are you doing?! Don't shoot the branch!" 6* Her right hand seems a bit burned as well
15[22:36] * 13Chad`Winters looks up at her. 1"Don't trust me?"
[22:36] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien peers up, then check his datapad, peering about, probably worried that Ao is watching them.
[22:36] <13Megumi> Zephy... you did it one-handed..?
[22:36] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah. I do...it's just... 6* She sulks. "This is just embarrassing." 6* She nods at Megumi
[22:36] <13Chad`Winters> You'll be fine. 6He raises his gun then fires two quick shots.
09[22:36] <13@Sammael> "Get her down and we can take her back to the shuttle..."
15[22:36] * 13@Drasek seems to be relieved that Zephyr is okay, then peers around slowly. 1Any idea where that attack came from?
[22:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr plummets down with a girly cry as the branches are shot
15[22:37] * 13Chad`Winters shifts his arms out to catch her.
[22:37] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr lands in his arms, peering at him, embarrassed. "T-Thanks."
[22:37] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> No, but Ao can't be far away.
[22:38] <13Chad`Winters> Have Sam treat your hand. 6He sets her down to stand on her own feet.
[22:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers at Sam now, puffing her cheeks and glancing away
[22:39] <13Chad`Winters> Don't let her treat you. 6He shifts his hand behind his back and hands her some wrapping gauze.
15[22:39] * 13@Sammael moves over to get a look at it, pulling out an injector full of nanites. "Is it alright if I do this?" *she holds out the injector, waiting for permission*
15[22:39] * 13@Sammael blinks and puts it down, shrugging.
[22:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes the injector, twitching, and hides behind Chad, wrapping her own hand up as best she can - which isn't good.
15[22:40] * 13Chad`Winters glances back at Zephyr, holding a neutral look and turns, re-wrapping her hand.
[22:40] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Thanks. 6* She offers him a smile.
15[22:41] * 13@Sammael puts it away and moves to rejoin Darien. "Should I wait back at the shuttle?"
[22:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes the shuttle. "Probably not a good idea right now."
09[22:41] <13@Sammael> "Very well."
15[22:41] * 13Chad`Winters flashes a smile back and slides his left hand along his belt and pulls out a short injector and injects some nanites into her arm.
[22:41] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> OW! 6* She sulks now.
[22:42] <13Chad`Winters> It'll stop any infections and keep your hand from scaring up badly.
[22:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien turns, hearing movement from the south side, in some trees.
15[22:43] * 13@Sammael looks around warily.
15[22:43] * 13@Drasek shifts slightly and closes his eyes, trying to feel out Ao like he could before, but the movement catches his attention and her jerks his body around towards it.
[22:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* He can definitely feel another Progenitor out there, watching them.
09[22:44] <13@Sammael> "There doesn't seem to be anything special out here besides her... was this a trap?"
[22:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* There's suddenly a flash and a beam of energy rises around Zephyr, Darien, Chad, and Sam; it's about 15 feet high and circles around them.
15[22:44] * 13Chad`Winters narrows his eyes at the sound of the noise and quickly unholsters Ebony from under the front of his sweatshirt.
[22:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr jerks as the field goes up, and Darien narrows his eyes.
15[22:45] * 13@Sammael holds her hand out on guard but frowns at the rising barrier.
15[22:45] * 13@Drasek glances around at the others, frowning before glancing up towards the trees. 1I know you're out there luv. Stop playing around and come on out.
15[22:45] * 13Chad`Winters glances around at the energy field, checking to see how many trees are inside it with them.
[22:46] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> A trap. 6* He notes, eyeing it. He stabs his sword against it, and eyes the energy discharge destroy the sword.
[22:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* Just the one
[22:46] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao steps out out finally, her hand over her mouth. Her hair is braided behind her, and she's wearing a bracelet around one wrist, her left.
[22:47] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> I missed one. 6* She sighs now.
[22:47] <13Chad`Winters> Looks like it's a barter meeting between Ao, Megumi and Drasek. And we're her leverage.
15[22:48] * 13@Drasek tilts his head slightly. 1Here I thought you'd worry about me the most. Guess you underestimate me, luv.
[22:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien tosses the useless sword aside now.
[22:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao lifts her hand, positioning herself so she's aiming at Drasek, and if he dodges, at the barrier. "This will pass through my force field and strike your friends if you dodge." 6* She states, then unleashes a beam of hyperspace at him.
[22:49] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> No fair! 6* She frowns now, then eyes her firing the beam. She goes to the ground, just in case Drasek dodges.
15[22:49] * 13Chad`Winters eyes Zephyr then glances to where she's looking and quickly drops to the ground.
15[22:50] * 13@Sammael drops down as well.
15[22:50] * 13@Drasek takes a step back, then crosses his arms, stomping his feet into the ground, trying to pull up a shield strong enough to stop the incoming attack.
[22:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* The beam slams into the shield, and Ao keeps putting energy into it, not letting up at all. Darien kneels, watching the fight. Ao begins to pour more energy into it, knowing Drasek will give out before she does.
[22:51] <13Megumi> Ao! Stop it!
[22:51] <13Chad`Winters> I'm glad we decided to talk about this.
[22:52] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> ...
[22:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao ignores Megumi, just continuing her attack.
15[22:52] * 13@Drasek closes his eyes, gritting his teeth, his mind is constantly on the levels he can withstand and the amount energy he need to keep the attack at bay. Suddenly he shifts himself lower, hoping the bubble shape of his shield can bounce much of the attack upward into the sky.
[22:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* It doesn't seem to reflect it. It just smashes into the top of his shield now, and begins to weaken it since it's not his centered focus point
15[22:54] * 13@Drasek frowns, sweat sliding down his face, he can't keep this up and he tries to get back to his center focus, but it's clear he won't las tmuch longer.
[22:55] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Drasek's about to give out. We need to do something now.
15[22:55] * 13Megumi reaches out and draws her fingers out, then clutches them inward, trying to create a vacuum around Ao, wincing a bit as she does.
09[22:55] <13@Sammael> "I-I could try and interfere?"
[22:55] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> I don't want you to open yourself up to her at all.
09[22:55] <13@Sammael> "Alright."
[22:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao looks about at the vacuum, then ends her attack, leaping back and away.
[22:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes the trees, then tries to climb it.
15[22:56] * 13@Drasek falls to his knees almost instantly when the attack ends, breathing heavily, barely keeping himself from collapsing completely.
[22:57] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao glances toward the direction of Darien's house, as if debating making a run for it.
15[22:58] * 13Chad`Winters pushes himself up, sliding his hand along his belt, and spins it, a short staff extending in his hand.
[22:58] <13Megumi> Ao! You must stop this!
[22:58] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Ao now, tensing. "If she runs for it, we'll never catch up to her."
[22:59] <13Megumi> There is no need to fight between family. I only wish you could return to Erevis alongside.
[22:59] <13Chad`Winters> I love this talking thing. 6He reaches upto his ear piece and taps it. 1"Aya, be cautious. Ao might make a run for it.
[22:59] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> Return to her side? That is not the real her. It's a fake.
[23:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya confirms she got the message.
[23:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr reaches a branch, then tries to climb another one
[23:00] <13Megumi> It is just as much real as you are now.
[23:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao turns to face Megumi, clearly focused on her, holding her hand toward Megumi. "You're the one who's holding back this fake side of her. How would you like it if someone else was in control of your actions?"
[23:01] <13Megumi> All people change in time. If you are family, is her happiness not more important than an image you hold onto? Are you willing to make her miserable just to recreate that memory?
[23:01] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> She isn't real.
15[23:01] * 13Chad`Winters lowers his hand and then takes several steps forward and jams the staff into the ground, extending it upwards to launch himself up into the tree
[23:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao shouts that out with venom and hate, her voice almost breaking from the extreme decimal.
[23:01] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien looks up at the two going, then at the scene.
[23:02] <13Megumi> Her warmth feels real to me.
15[23:02] * 13Chad`Winters grabs onto a branch and swings himself up onto it, pulling the staff up with him.
[23:02] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> The real Erevis was everything. Everything. I will not stand by and let you all lock her in that fake persona.
15[23:03] * 13@Drasek strains to get to his feet, but doesn't make it much of anywhere.
[23:03] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr leaps off the branch and away from the field, landing on the outside
09[23:03] <13@Sammael> "Are you incapable of seeing that people can change?"
[23:04] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> That isn't change. It's imprisonment. Falsehood. 6* She screams this. Zephyr looks at Chad, since he would have the best insight to that
15[23:04] * 13Chad`Winters leaps off after Zephyr, landing into a roll.
[23:04] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao gathers energy into her hands, charging her power up so much one could almost see the energy being inside her human body
[23:05] <13Megumi> Whatever you call it, my life's role is invested in her happiness. For so long as she loves me and desires me, that is all I seek for her in return. You are one of those things, Ao.
[23:05] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> I will never accept herb.
[23:05] <13@DeathStar> *her
09[23:06] <13@Sammael> "You don't even know her."
15[23:07] * 13Chad`Winters stands up, dusting his clothes off
[23:07] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hey, Chad, maybe you could, uh, relate to her? 6* She asks him.
[23:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao points one hand at Megumi, her energy crackling so much her guise is wavering.
15[23:07] * 13Megumi hangs her head somewhat, just looking sad. Hey, even her ears droops somewhat.
15[23:08] * 13Chad`Winters glances at Zephyr. 1"Right, the talking thing." He turns to move towards Ao. 1"Sometimes who we were, isn't for the best."
[23:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr tenses at Ao aiming at Megumi, then begins to get closer to her, not about to let Megumi get blasted off the face of the planet. Ao just aims a second hand at Chad. "Stay out of this, human, or I'll end your life."
[23:09] <13Megumi> I really do not mind if you hate me. I am used to that. You should at least allow Erevis to show you her own way, though...
[23:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao just unleashes her beam attack at Megumi now, aiming to end her prattling.
15[23:10] * 13Chad`Winters crosses his arms. 1"How do you know that the Erevis you want, would even care about you. Atleast with this Erevis, you know she'ld give you the time and attention you wanted."
[23:10] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien turns and begins to climb the tree now. He's going to shoot Ao in the head if he has to do so.
15[23:11] * 13@Sammael moves to the tree and watches Darien climb up.
[23:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr leaps toward Megumi now, aiming at her and tackling her aside of the beam, rolling with her protectively.
15[23:12] * 13Megumi cries slightly as she rolls with Zephyr, wincing. 1"Zephy..."
[23:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr kneels in front of Megumi now, spreading her arms. Ao aims at Zephyr now with her second hand, since it's charged. "The old Erevis loved me. She planned all this out. She cared about me.":
15[23:13] * 13@Drasek slowly pushes himself to his feet, staggering forward slowly.
[23:13] <13Chad`Winters> From the few times I've seen the old Erevis, she didn't care about much. The Erevis you know now, cares about everyone. Even you.
09[23:14] <13@Sammael> "If you truely love someone, you love them in any form they take..."
[23:14] <13@DeathStar> <Ao> Even me? She doesn't know anything about me. She's abandoned our plans to play as a wife to thi-this girl. Being used like some sex object.
[23:15] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien gets his gun ready, aiming at Ao from his spot in the tree
[23:15] <13Chad`Winters> Than take this opportunity to let her get to know you.
[23:15] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Then let her get to know you.
09[23:16] <13@Sammael> "You don't know her either Ao... you can get to know her, see that she's a wonderful person."
15[23:16] * 13@Drasek finally stops after he gets himself in front of Zephyr and Megumi. 1You don't have to be a protocol anymore, luv. You can live your life however you want.
[23:17] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao breathes deeply and heavily, like she's getting worked up and her body can't keep up with her anxiety. She flexes her fingers, as if about to fry Zephyr and Megumi all at once. "I hate you all!" 6* She screams, her attack vanishing, and she falls to her knees, crying now like a little girl, despite being in her teens, from appearances
[23:17] <13Chad`Winters> This universe is filled with nothing but grey, if you can find one bit of color, I recommend being near it.
15[23:17] * 13Megumi winces a bit, then blinks, pushing on a knee to get up after that, staring in shock.
[23:18] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien lowers the gun now, leaning back against the tree trunk. Zephyr stares in shock at her crying now.
15[23:18] * 13Megumi moves around Zephyr and trots over to her, kneeling. 1"H-Hey... please do not cry."
15[23:18] * 13Chad`Winters holsters Ebony under his shirt and moves over to a tree, leaning against it
09[23:18] <13@Sammael> "It is difficult, adjusting to a new life, new reality Ao... but we can all do it."
[23:19] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao takes in wheezing breaths, trying to turn away from Megumi. "S-Stay away f-from me..." 6* She says between sobs.
[23:20] <13Megumi> If you wish me to... I will stay away. Just come to see Erevis.
15[23:20] * 13@Drasek lets out a breath, falling down onto his ass, shaking his head.
[23:20] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr gets to her feet, watching the scene. She looks a bit away now, looking a bit downcast
[23:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* The field holding Sam shuts down finally.
15[23:21] * 13@Sammael looks up at Darien. "I think you can come down now love."
[23:21] <13Chad`Winters> Darien, whens a shuttle coming to pick us up?
[23:21] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien glances at a datapad, then hits a button to get one to come. "A bit."
[23:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao continues to making sobbing noises as she tries to breathe, not really saying anything
[23:22] <13Megumi> I-- ...
15[23:22] * 13Megumi panicks slightly. 1"Zephy, hug her!"
[23:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien shifts and climbs down the tree finally.
[23:22] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes Megumi. "No way!" 6* She says with a snap, puffing her cheeks.
[23:23] <13Megumi> She does not want me." 6She glares, sniffing at Zephyr.
[23:23] <13Chad`Winters> Just shut up and hug her.
[23:23] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hug her anyway. You're the one who wanted to save her.
15[23:23] * 13@Sammael walks over to Ao and kneels down.
09[23:24] <13@Sammael> "Ao... it's alright. It's going to be alright."
[23:24] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao wipes at her eyes now, hyperventalating
[23:25] <13Megumi> 6Megumi pauses and pouts at the two, then turns and abrubtly latches onto Ao, squinting in effort.
15[23:25] * 13@Sammael starts to hug her at the same time, blinking a bit as it turns into a group hug.
[23:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao is latched onto in the group hug. She just seems to accept it now.
[23:25] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien walks up to Chad, whispering. "Seems a bit too easy, doesn't it?"
[23:26] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr watches the scene, then smiles a bit, apparantly happy it ended well
15[23:26] * 13Chad`Winters opens his eyes to look at Darien. 1"Probably because it was."
[23:27] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> Why do I have the feeling we're going to come to regret this...?"
[23:27] <13Megumi> I cannot regret this.
[23:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien eyes Megumi's ears, forgetting she's good at catching voices.
[23:28] <13Chad`Winters> Because people don't change. 6He studies Darien now.
[23:28] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien looks at Chad. "Not even you?"
15[23:28] * 13@Drasek rubs his face slowly, staring at the scene, probably upset that he had to use up most of his energy all for nothing.
[23:28] <13Chad`Winters> Do I look likeI changed?
[23:28] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> That's to be seen, I guess.
15[23:29] * 13@Sammael smiles and hugs her more. "Breathe slow... relax Ao."
[23:29] <13Chad`Winters> We choose to avoid change because it's easier.
[23:29] <13Megumi> ...I wonder where she will sleep.
[23:29] <13@DeathStar> <Darien> I know. You've preached those words a long time ago.
[23:29] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao takes slower breaths now and just closes her eyes
[23:30] <13Chad`Winters> Than I guess that saves me from saying them again.
[23:30] <13@DeathStar> 6* A shuttle begins to come in now. Zephyr peers over at Chad and Darien, studying them now. Darien looks at Zephyr, then at the shuttle.
[23:30] <13@DeathStar> -TIME JUMP-
[23:30] <13@DeathStar> Location: House of D
[23:31] <13@DeathStar> 6* The team steps back in through the door after getting back. Noname is sitting up on the couch, bandaged, with Aya near him with a plate of food, trying to get him to eat. Erevis has put Isis down to sleep, and is watching the scene. She peers up as the team enters.
15[23:32] * 13@Sammael steps in tiredly.
[23:32] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien walks in as well, moving for his office. Zephyr hangs back at the pool edge, peering at the water.
15[23:32] * 13Megumi moves at whatever pace giving Ao support takes.
[23:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao is led in. She and Noname share looks, and Noname's lips curl. "You failed to kill me."
[23:33] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis rises to her feet, relief on her face that Megumi and the others are safe.
15[23:33] * 13Chad`Winters moves in and kisses his daughter on the top of her head. 1"Told you I'd come back."
15[23:33] * 13@Sammael looks between them. "There will be no fighting here."
[23:33] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> I wasn't worried. 6* She smiles.
15[23:34] * 13Chad`Winters smirks slightly and squeezes her shoulder and moves towards the kitchen.
[23:34] <13@DeathStar> 6* Noname ignores Sam. "So the lost Progenitor babe is brought home as another family member for Zhenmei's ever growing family."
15[23:34] * 13@Drasek moves in slowly, looking weak, he just moves over to sit down at the table, placing his head on it.
15[23:35] * 13@Sammael blinks and nods, smiling. "Noname has analysed the current development astutely."
[23:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao frowns at him. She peers toward Erevis, and the woman peers back at her, both of them studying each other.
[23:35] <13Megumi> She was already family. And unlike you, she has a name.
15[23:35] * 13Megumi eyes Noname coldly. 1"Please do not provoke mine."
09[23:35] <13@Sammael> "We should think of a name for him, shouldn't we?"
[23:35] <13@DeathStar> 6* Noname shifts to get to his feet, despite his wounds. He begins to move for the back door.
09[23:36] <13@Sammael> "Noname you are not ready to move like that. Go sit back down."
15[23:36] * 13Chad`Winters steps out and sets a beer down infront of Drasek while he takes a drink of water from his bottle
15[23:36] * 13@Drasek pauses and glances up slightly. 1Thanks, mate. 6he cracks it open and takes a long draw from it.
[23:36] <13Chad`Winters> /me snorts.
[23:36] <13Megumi> You will sit again and be treated later or I will incapacitate you.
[23:37] <13@DeathStar> <Erevis> Hello, Ao. I am glad to meet with you in non-combatative terms. We have much to talk about. 6* Ao nods slowly, peering at her like she was eyeing a stranger.
15[23:37] * 13Megumi twitches a bit-- somewhat short on patience at this point.
15[23:37] * 13Chad`Winters snorts. 1"I'm only giving it you in hopes it'll stop you from whining." He moves off towards his room
[23:37] <13@DeathStar> <Noname> I'm done here. I'll heal myself from here on out. 6* He moves to open the door and step out
[23:37] <13Megumi> Ungrateful jerk...
09[23:37] <13@Sammael> "I think I will name him Bob."
[23:38] <13@Drasek> Right, i've not said a word have I? Don't make excuses for being nice, Chad. 6He pushes himself to his feet, taking the beer and moves towards the front door.
[23:38] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien steps out of his office, sipping his coffee. "Coming from you, that's amusement, since he helped you find Ao. Colorfully."
[23:38] <13Chad`Winters> He was attacked by someone you decided to save. He has a right to be a jerk.
09[23:38] <13@Sammael> "Bob is within reasonable rights to be upset."
[23:39] <13Megumi> He will remain nameless.
[23:39] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis tilts her head now, peering at the others. Ao puts a hand to her face. <Ao> He is weak and without purpose. He will fall, unnoticed and uncared for.
15[23:39] * 13@Sammael pouts, she liked the name.
15[23:39] * 13@Drasek steps outside, drinking the beer, he goes around the house and moves towards the pool.
09[23:39] <13@Sammael> "He just needs friends..."
15[23:39] * 13Megumi puts a hand to her forehead, sighing. 1"Regardless of his reasons, he has cast aside courtesies we are given even from mortal adversaries. That nameless Famfrit chooses to remain in ambiguity even when offered those 'friends.'"
[23:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers at her reflection in the water
15[23:40] * 13Chad`Winters just shakes his head and moves off into the hallway and into his room, shutting the door behind him
[23:40] <13@DeathStar> 6* Darien does the same into his office
15[23:40] * 13Megumi brings up Nameless' datapad, re-reading the code.
[23:41] <13@Drasek> You seem sad, bit. 6He notes, slowly sitting down in a chair by the poolside.
[23:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* If cracked, she could probably piece together the rest.
15[23:41] * 13@Sammael scratches her head and sighs a bit.
[23:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr looks up. "Huh? No, I'm okay."
15[23:41] * 13Megumi begins to fill in what she's gotten so far, since it'll help alleviate the gaps.
[23:41] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks at Ao. "I would like it if you came to stay with me. I...do not have any family that I can remember, but I am hoping we can establish something together." 6* Ao eyes her, then just nods a few times, meek for now
[23:42] <13@Drasek> Lot on your mind, then?
[23:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* Apparantly an entry about tracking down Ao, having found her energy signature moving about looking for something. He went to investigate it since Megumi was hellbent on finding the girl and adopting her, his words.
15[23:42] * 13@Sammael smiles as she sees this exchange. "And if you would ever like someone to talk to, Ao, I would enjoy your company."
[23:42] <13@DeathStar> 6* Ao looks at Sam, staring at her like she was peering at a dog who just sat and pawed at her
[23:43] <13Megumi> I imagine she would prefer to speak with beloved without myself present so...
[23:43] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I guess so. I'm guessing Ao will go back home with Megumi and Erevis, and the house was already a bit crowded with me there. ... yet I don't like the idea of Megumi being alone with her considering her condition...
15[23:43] * 13@Sammael blinks a bit, her smile genuine.
[23:43] <13Megumi> Aya...
[23:43] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya is busy putting up the food she had out. She looks over.
[23:43] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> Yes, Miss. Megumi?
[23:44] <13Megumi> Would you still like to go out with Zephy and myself?
[23:44] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> I think I'll stay home, actually.
15[23:44] * 13Megumi reels slightly.
[23:44] <13Megumi> O-Okay..
[23:44] <13@DeathStar> 6* Erevis looks over at Megumi making plans, then looks at Ao, not really wanting Megumi to rush off. Ao seems to be fine with the idea and takes her arm, leading Erevis off
[23:45] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya gives her a friendly smile, then goes back to finishing what she was doing.
[23:45] <13@Drasek> You could always come back here, bit. Though I imagine if you wanted to do that, you'd already have done it. 6He rubs the side of his head. 1I say stay. You were there first, no point in stepping aside for anyone else.
15[23:45] * 13Chad`Winters unholsters Ebony and his mod. gun and sets them on his work bench. He moves over to the side of his room and eyes a board, staring at some math formulas
15[23:45] * 13@Sammael watches them go and moves to sit on the couch, sitting back and letting out a sigh as she starts to administer more treatment to herself.
[23:46] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Not sure if I want to stay, really. 6* She plays with the diving board with her foot. "But I don't know what I think of Ao being around Megumi. I'm afraid she'll hurt her."
[23:46] <13Megumi> W-Would you like me to bring something back, Aya..? I w-was thinking of ice cream..
[23:46] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> Oh, no thank you. I'm fine, really. 6* She finishes and washes her hands, drying them off with a paper towel
[23:47] <13@Drasek> I don't want to be negative like Chad and Darien, but Megumi typically tries to offer a helping hand instead of killing her enemies. Eventually it will come back to bite her in the arse, no doubt about that. Not sure if Ao is the one that'll do that though.
15[23:47] * 13Megumi stares, then her lip trembles. She eyes an imaginary gap widening in the space between her and Aya.
15[23:47] * 13@Sammael sits back and turns on the holovid, closing her eyes slowly.
[23:47] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya finishes, then begins to move toward Chad's room, having decided to spend the day helping him with his equations
15[23:48] * 13Megumi hangs her head in defeat, moving outside toward Zephyr.
[23:48] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah. I guess that's what I'm afraid of. Warren and Cheryl both taught me to be a bit suspicious. Not that I think that's always a good thing. Better to help people, right, than to never try?
[23:48] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya knocks on his door. "Dad?"
[23:48] <13Chad`Winters> Come in.
[23:49] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya walks in, closing the door after her, moving to the board. "I didn't feel like studying, so I was wondering if you needed help?"
15[23:49] * 13@Drasek nods once. 1I sort of think of it like this. I'll help a murder on his feet and never ask a question. But that doesn't mean i'll turn my back to him, right?
[23:49] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I guess so. 6* She peers toward Megumi approaching.
15[23:49] * 13Chad`Winters lowers his hand from his chin as he looks over at Aya. 1"Yeah. I'd love it"
[23:50] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya beams a bit.
15[23:51] * 13@Drasek glances up towards Megumi slightly.
[23:51] <13Megumi> Do you two want to go for ice cream?
15[23:51] * 13Chad`Winters smiles back, his face softening up a bit and he tosses a marker towards her.
[23:51] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Uh, probably be better to stay here. 6* She notes, referring to Ao.
15[23:51] * 13Megumi reels again, actually twisting and falling to the ground.
[23:51] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya catches it after a slight fumble, then looks up at him
[23:52] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr peers at Megumi, looking confused. "You okay?"
15[23:52] * 13Chad`Winters grabs another marker. 1"The famfrit give you any trouble?"
[23:52] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> No, he was pretty civil, despite not eating.
[23:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr leans over Megumi now, peering down at her.
15[23:53] * 13Megumi 's lip trembles and her eyes water.
[23:53] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr eyes her, blinking now. "W-Why are you crying?"
[23:53] <13@Drasek> Because she's not getting her way, I bet. 6He takes a drink of his beer.
[23:53] <13Chad`Winters> Good thing he didn't, or you would've had to put him in his place.
[23:53] <13Megumi> W-Weight of rejection..
[23:54] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> What weight?! 6* She reels back herself, puffing her cheeks. "I'm just being smart and not leaving your wife and child here with Ao."
[23:54] <13Megumi> I know... but even Aya said no...
15[23:54] * 13Megumi puffs her cheeks. 1"Mou.."
[23:55] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Really? --- huh. 6* She looks up at the sky now. "So I guess Ao will move in with you guys."
15[23:55] * 13@Drasek rubs his ear and stands up, moving towards the house to give them their privacy.
[23:55] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya giggles a bit.
[23:56] <13Megumi> There seems no reason to have her stay here.
[23:56] <13Chad`Winters> It's why I don't give you lip anymore. You scare me.
[23:56] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya blinks at that, looking worried. "R-Really?"
15[23:57] * 13Chad`Winters nudges her. 1"I'm teasing."
[23:57] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Yeah.... 6* She plays with her ear.
[23:57] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> O-Oh. I knew that. 6* She relaxes again
15[23:58] * 13@Drasek walks into the living room and plops down on the couch.
[23:59] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> I'm sure there's some ice cream left around here. Want to eat some of that instead? 6* She offers Megumi now, dropping her hand
[23:59] <13Megumi> Sure." 6She nods, moving to sit up.
13[00:00] * Day changed to Tuesday, October 28th 2008.
Session Time: Tue Oct 28 00:00:00 2008
15[00:00] * 13Chad`Winters leans back as he stares the formula for a second. 1"You feeling better?"
[00:00] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr smiles at her, holding out a hand to help her up
15[00:00] * 13@Sammael opens her eyes and looks over at Drasek smiling. "Hello."
[00:00] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> I guess so. 6* She looks a bit distant for a second, then focuses back on the board.
[00:01] <13@Drasek> Hello?
15[00:02] * 13Megumi takes the hand, grinning. 1"Wonder what flavor, though..."
15[00:02] * 13@Sammael tilts her head at him. "You're in time, the show is starting soon."
[00:02] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr jerks her up, then dangles her over the pool edge. "How about wet Nekonee?"
15[00:02] * 13Chad`Winters nods, now saying much more on that. 1"I wish I knew it was safe enough to go out with just us, I'd like to goto the zoo again."
[00:03] <13@Drasek> Not interested right now. 6He notes, shifting himself slightly and closing his eyes.
[00:03] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> That would be nice. 6* She smiles a bit.
09[00:04] <13@Sammael> "Oh alright." *Her cheerful tone breaks a little a she looks down at her datapad, starting to open up some work on it.
[00:05] <13Chad`Winters> It would be. 6He nods, his eyes going distant themselves as he stares at the board
[00:05] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> Maybe we can go with Zephyr and Miss. Megumi. She seemed a bit lonely. 6* She notes, describing the weird emotions she got from her
[00:06] <13Chad`Winters> You think Megumi would leave Ao and Erevis alone?:
[00:06] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> She's not with them right now.
15[00:06] * 13Megumi jerks and flails some. 1"Wh-what!? Z-Zephy do not..!"
15[00:06] * 13Chad`Winters looks over at Aya, raising a brow. 1"Really?"
[00:06] <13@DeathStar> <Zephyr> Hee hee. 6* She dips Megumi closer. "Do what?"
[00:07] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> Yes.
15[00:07] * 13Chad`Winters closes his eyes, pinching the bridge of his nose.
[00:07] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya studies him. "What's wrong?"
[00:08] <13Megumi> P-Pull me back!" 6She whines.
[00:08] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr giggles and does so
[00:08] <13Chad`Winters> Only Megumi would choose to deal with this, this way.
[00:09] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya doesn't comment, peering at the board thoughtfully
15[00:10] * 13Chad`Winters lowers his hand. 1"Ao probably realized she couldn't beat us with violence and chose to do it a different way. By spending as much time with her as possible and trying to change her that way.
[00:10] <13@DeathStar> <Aya> Oh...
[00:11] <13@DeathStar> 6* Zephyr cups her hands together behind her, grinning at Megumi. "Lets get that ice cream, ne?"
[00:12] <13@DeathStar> 6* Aya sighs, peering at the board, wondering what will come
[00:12] <13@DeathStar> -END-
