<Pope> SESSION BEGINS!
<Tikal> Time Chart: April 3rd, 2222
<Tikal> Time: 3:56 PM
<Tikal> Location: Hanger 4
* Stark shifts his weight onto his walking stick absently, looking around.
* Tikal is currently situated on some boxes in the corner of the fairly empty hanger. Her long brown hair falls to about shoulder length and she's currently in a uniform worn by captains in the police unit.
* Tikal flips through a clipboard containing various sheets, presumably information on each of the people joining the unit. At the far end, the hanger door, leading to the road, is open and a brisk wind blows in from it.
* Infinity walks into the hanger, her arms crossed under her cloak. She walks along, fairly aloof, the wind blowing her hair in her face and she does nothing to provent it from blowing in her eyes.
* Pope stands off to the side, lighting a cigarette with a soft glow
* Tikal looks up and nods at Infinity.
<Tikal> Welcome to the party, Private.
* Infinity nods to Tikal, her face a stoic mask.
<Infinity> Thank you.
* Firebird leans against the wall, propping himself against it with his foot. He has his hands shoved in his jacket pockets and is whistling an old rock song - rather loudly.
* Tikal glances at a chronometer to tell the time. Seeing it's only a few more seconds until the appointed time, she clears her throat loudly.
<Tikal> Everyone, gather around the boxes.
* Firebird glances at Tikal over his shades, then pushes them up and saunters over
* Pope curses under his breath looking up at Tikal then throws his smoke down and stemps it out
* Silouette walks in quietly, keeping to herself.
* Infinity shrugs, her shoulders swallowed by the thick and coarse cloak she wears. She settles down on a box, sitting in the lotus position. She slides her goggles off, letting them hang around her neck. Her eyes are a haunting blue.
* Firebird yawns loudly, stretching as he walks
* Tikal hops off the boxes and stands, adjusting her uniform as he looks at each of them. She waves Silouette over.
* Stark pushes his round glasses up on the bridge of his nose, standing composed.
* Infinity looks back at Tikal, her posture never changing.
<Tikal> Alright, everyone, as you all know, I've formed this unit to look into the disappearance of President Slasher five years ago. While this is probably a long time period to be looking into such a thing, I want to know more about it. That's where you all come in. Some of you have been handpicked, others volunteered, to join this division.
* Firebird listens, slouched and with his hands still in his pockets
<Pope> *snorts* Five years, luv? Ain't that a bit late to be callin' out the hounds?
* Stark leers at Pope.
* Infinity looks at Tikal with a questioning glance, before lifting her eyes to the ceiling. Her lips twitch a bit when Pope speaks up.
<Tikal> Indeed. The offical investigation was that Lunarians destroyed the shuttle and that was that. No one looked into it further. I don't personally think that's the whole story. Do you?
* Infinity looks to Tikal, "Perhaps the question is really "why now?" Or even "is it too late?"" She then shrugs.
<Tikal> President Slasher in Feburary of 2218 was heading on an emergency meeting with the Alliance leader Dominator to discuss what to do with the situation of Earth when his shuttle was intercepted and destroyed. After that, as you all know, each of the areas fell into the hands of that area's "Hero" or the person they looked up to. The person in charge of our area was Slasher's assistant, Tyler McCabe.
<Tikal> Why not now? Why not uncover the truth? Everyone tries to slide this matter under the rug and act like it never occured. I'm a fan of the truth.
* Infinity nods, "The truth is a great sword. I too find good swords useful."
<Firebird> <But many swords have double-edged blades. Let's hope we're not getting in over our heads, eh?>
<Tikal> Word has it not many of the higher-ups are pleased with this investigation. So, if at any time you feel threatened to leave the unit to another assignment, come to me or Lt. Carmichael and do so.
<Infinity> <that was the inflection I was hoping for Firebird :)>
<Tikal> NRP: Oh, wait, <> stands for psionics' telepathy. You're a warrior, Infinity.
<Stark> A double edged blade can be swung both ways with with kill and proper use..
* Silouette just shrugs a little.
<Stark> NRP: skill.
<Firebird> <Indeed...>
<Tikal> You have the background to the case, Lt. Carmichael will fill you in on the rest when he arrives. Right now, I feel it's essential you all get to know one another.
* Infinity glances to Stark and remains silent before focusing her to Tikal.
<Tikal> Anyone care to volunteer why they decided to join this unit?
* Stark turns to the others, quietly standing with his walkingstick.
* Infinity takes a deep breath as if to speak, and then looks at her lap.
<Firebird> <I'll start it off. Name's Steven Frost, call me Firebird. To tell you the truth, I'm here to break the monotony of my life with a little action. That, and I know the old guys that run this country aren't going to do anything about the situation. So it's up to us...>
* Pope thrusts up his arm in an exaggerated motion. "Yeah, my supes from back home forced me here. I wanna go back, so let's speed this little venture 'long."
<Tikal> Anytime you want a forum to go back up, let me know, Private Pope.
<Tikal> NRP: home
<Stark> I just want to make sure certain things are done right.
* Infinity still remain silent.
* Tikal nods, turning to the others
<Pope> This is all perfectly daft, if you ask me.
<Tikal> I'm not going to force you to open up, but you really should learn each other if you want to function as a team. *turns to Pope* You were not asked, Private.
* Silouette shakes her head a little, not speaking up though.
<Tikal> GM: *the sound of a motorcycle is heard. Old style, driven on the ground*
<Tikal> Ah, your squad leader is about to arrive. I told him a later time. He's not big on socializing.
* Infinity rubs at her calfs, as if to relax a muscle.
* Firebird starts to ask a question, but cuts off
* Stark looks up a bit.
<Tikal> He'll show you to your building and you will all get packed in today and tonight. Tomorrow, you shall begin the investigation as he see fit.
* Infinity mutters, "fantastic." Her tone isn't sarcastic nor is it happy sounding.
* Silouette nods, watching the direction the bike is coming from.
<Tikal> GM: *the motorcycle pulls into view, the driver wearing a black helmet. He parks the motorcycle and steps off, pulling the helmet off. Turning, he glances over the squad with a quick glance, then walks towards Captial Tikal, saluting.
<Tikal> Welcome to the party, Lieutenant. I'm done here. Get them ready. *with that, Tikal turns and leaves the hanger*
*** Tikal is now known as Ire
* Ire glances at the others, nodding once.
* Infinity closes her eyes for a moment, as if in debate with herself. Her hands rest on her knees, and for one brief moment she looks at peace, but the moment passes quickly.
<Ire> I'm Lt. Carmichael, but you can call me Ire. It makes it more simple. Follow me. Your stuff has already been transferred to the building.
<Pope> What, no goodbye snog, luv?
*** Dias has joined #taw
* Stark looks at Infinity, studying her for several moments befor eturning his attention back to Ire and Tikal.
* Infinity blinks and glances to Pope before standing, and nodding to Ire.
* Ire walks past the motorcycle and steps out the open hanger doors into the daylight. He runs a hand through his black hair, then waits for the others to join him outside.
<Silouette> ...that's simple and to the point.
* Infinity follows after Ire, but before she does, she leans close to Pope, and whispers, "What the hell is a snog?"
<Ire> There's 46 different buildings on this complex. We're in building 38. Remember it when you come in late one night from drinking.
*** Infinity has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
* Firebird saunters along behind Ire
* Stark walks with a smooth stride after Ire, his walking stick tacking against the concrete.
<Firebird> <You read my mind.> *snickers*
* Pope gets a sly grin on his face and slides his sunglasses down his nose as he puts an arm around Infinity. "I can show ya, bird, if you want to find out."
* Ire turns and begins to walk along the outer edge of the complex. All around various divisions can be seen entering and leaving for their dairly patrols of the city.
*** Infinity has joined #taw
* Silouette follows quietly, keeping to herself.
* Infinity eyes Pope with some ice in those eyes, "I think not." She steps away from him
<Ire> Our primary duty is to look into the Slasher case, but at the same time we're police officers, so if situation occurs between now and finishing the case that requires our assistance, we will do so.
* Pope puts his hands up. "No need to get yer fanny in a knot, luv, just tryin' to display some British hospitality."
* Ire finally stops in a rather old look building, compared to the rest of the fancy complex. It's 3 stories and on the front has 38 on it. Ire walks up the steps and enters.
* Infinity turns around as she walks with the group, and shakes her head as she looks to Pope, "You're a strange little man."
* Stark follows Ire shortly after he enters.
*** Dias is now known as Dahok
<Ire> The first floor consists of the entertainment room and kitchen to make yourselves meals. If you do not like to cook, the cafeteria building is down the way.
<Pope> Ain't little whre it matters.
* Firebird continues looking around, looking more like a fascinated child than anything else
* Dahok stands outside the complex looking around
* Ire heads up the stairs to the second floor.
*** Infinity has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
*** Infinity has joined #taw
* Silouette nods a little, seeming to make a mental map as she goes.
<Pope> Oh Glory Day, what I always wanted to do, eat Yankee beans.
* Firebird follows Ire up the stairs - and trips, falling back to the first floor
* Ire glances briefly at Firebird before grimacing.
* Ire finishes going up to the second floor, gesturing.
* Infinity raises an amused eyebrow, and then shrugs, "You won't have to. I can cook."
<Pope> An' rightly so, I should hope.
* Firebird stands and dusts himself off
<Firebird> <...Ow...>
* Stark studies Ire.
<Ire> This is the rooms. You've all been assigned roommates, so I'll now go over them. In Room A, Firebird and Dahok...where the hell is Private Fyro?
* Firebird rubs his shoulder and heads up to the second floor, avoiding the spot where he tripped last time
* Pope looks at Firebird and snorts. "Watch that first step, mate."
<Firebird> <Little late on the rebound there, aren't ya, brit?>
* Dahok looks around, his dark color making him stick out
<Ire> Anyway, in room 2 is Pope and Harlequin.
* Infinity ambles up the stairs, to the second floor. She walks with some grace, but not much.
<Pope> I'm not the one who just made an arse out himself, now am I?
* Stark steps into Room 2 and inspects it
<Ire> In room 3 we have Infinity and Silouette
<Firebird> <Seems like you've been doing that since you got here.>
<Ire> *near Dahok, outside the complex* <Officer> May I help you, sir?
* Infinity glances to room 3, and nods, "Thank ya kindly sir."
* Ire nods.
* Silouette looks to Inifinity, then nods. "...alright."
* Pope waves his hand and walks in after Stark
* Dahok looks over at the officer
* Firebird walks into room 1 and looks around
<Firebird> <Yep, this place needs a little sprucin' up.>
<Dahok> Uhh...I'm here to join....some..
* Infinity eyes Siloutte, and then peeks her head in the room.
<Ire> <Officer> What division, sir?
<Dahok> The new one!
<Infinity> ....needs sand.
<Ire> GM: *the rooms are rather large, but bland. Two beds on either side, then a drawer in the middle.
<Ire> <Officer> ... Captail Tikal's unit?
* Pope looks Stark over. "So, uh, what's yer story?"
<Dahok> Umm...*looks up* YEAH!
<Ire> <Officer> Building 38. *gives him directions*
<Stark> Louisiana isn't what it used to be.
* Ire stands outside in the hallway.
* Firebird flops on the bed - and winces painfully when a spring catches him in the back
<Dahok> Thanks.. *turns and heads towards the building*
<Pope> Right. Fair 'nuff, then.
<Ire> When you are all done, come up to the third floor. Take your time.
<Firebird> <...Yeah. Da-whatsit's getting that one.>
* Ire heads up another set of stairs.
* Stark nods to Pope.
* Firebird springs up
* Stark heads to the third floor.
* Infinity eyes Silouette, and then knocks on the door to room three.
* Firebird shoves his hands back in his pockets and resumes whistling as he heads to floor three
<Infinity> oh... that's my room...
* Infinity turns and knocks on the door to room two
* Pope checks his gear, takes a good look aorund the room, then heads out towards the third floor
* Silouette shrugs a bit, and follows after Ire.
<Ire> GM: *the third floor is the control room. Tons of computers, chairs, and other various machines line the room. A tactician board and various plans lay about, with photos of Slasher pinned up.
* Pope walks smack dab into Infinity
* Infinity yelps a bit, and stumbles backwards
* Ire walks forward and sits down near the master computer of the set.
* Firebird whistles at the amount of equipment
* Dahok makes his way to the 38 building and looks around
* Pope raises an eyebrow at Infinity. "Don't think this is your room, luv."
<Ire> GM: *building 38 seems to have activity on the 2nd floor. The third floor is closed off from the outside*
<Pope> Unless you want it to be, then I cold pull some strings..
* Pope flashes a cocky smirk
* Infinity crosses her arms and scowls darkly, "I was actually going to ask people what they wanted for dinner. I figure if I'm going to be working with you people, you might as well eat good and healthy."
<Ire> GM: *the photos of Slasher all have him making goofy faces and showing the peace sign. Another photo is that of Cheryl, who looks rather normal next to Slasher*
<Pope> Feh, healthy eatin', that's fer nutters, luv.
* Infinity spins on her heel and makes it up to the third floor.
<Dahok> Hmmm....*heads into the building and makes his way to the 2nd floor*
<Ire> This is our base of operations. We're hooked into everything Mega City and Vesperton has to offer network wise. Also, we have access to the HQ files.
<Ire> GM: *the 2nd floor only has Pope*
* Pope follows behind Infinity, far enough behind so he can watch her walk with a dirty glance
<Ire> GM: *and he just went up to the 3rd*
<Silouette> ...not bad. I was affraid we'd be undersupplied...
<Pope> NRP: Haha! In your face!
<Ire> Our hanger will be hanger 4. They'll move vehicles in there tonight.
* Infinity chews on her lip as she eyes the computers, seemingly uneasy around such a modern place.
<Ire> Captain Tikal's office is in the main HQ building on the complex. If you desire to speak with her, do so.
* Ire nods at the pictures of Slasher and Cheryl
<Ire> Our job is to find these two. We'll begin by asking what few friends they have left in the area. Most of their group has vanished over time, though I'm sure Tyler McCabe and Professor Carter will help us.
<Dahok> Hmpf...*heads upto the 3rd floor*
* Infinity mutters softly to her herself as she eyes the picutures, "....this was the leader of the planet?"
* Ire spots Dahok
<Ire> Ah, Private Fyro, decided to join us?
<Dahok> Uh sorry...
<Ire> Speak with Firebird. He's your roommate.
* Ire looks at everyone.
<Firebird> *doesn't look at him* <Room 1, your bed's on the left when you walk in.>
<Pope> No wonder the planet's such a shithole.
<Ire> This case is pretty much dead cold. There's probably no chance we'll ever learn what really happened to these two. But I will not stop this case until Tikal orders us off of it.
* Stark shifts a bit.
* Dahok looks around
<Dahok> What the hell was that voice..
* Infinity sighs softly, "Again, the question begs, why now?" She speaks softly so perhaps only someone right beside her could hear her.
<Ire> Your names are written on computers, so feel free to log in, do as you wish. It's getting later into the afternoon and you're all dismissed. We shall meet up again tomorrow morning at 9:00. Do as you wish tonight.
* Ire turns in his chair and begins to work on a report on the master computer.
* Stark sits at his computer and begins typing.
* Pope slaps his hands together and rubs them vigorously
* Dahok looks around then at the pictures and stuff
<Pope> Right, now, point me to the nearest pub.
<Dahok> So this is Slasher huh?
* Infinity eyes the computers again with a look of distrust, and eyes Pope for a moment before tapping her lip in contemplation.
* Ire keeps typing
* Stark stands and picks up his walking stick, stepping out.
* Pope digs out his pack of smokes and takes one out as he leaves
* Firebird wanders out of the room
* Infinity rolls her eyes as she finds herself following the offensive Brit
* Dahok grabs one of the pictures and looks at it
* Ire looks over at Dahok, but makes no objections.
* Stark stands outside of the building.
* Pope looks back over at Infinity and stops, sucking on the cigarette as he waits for her
* Dahok picks it up and sniffs it
<Ire> GM: *the display Dahok is next to falls apart*
<Silouette> ...go ahead and break it. That'll help us out...
<Dahok> .....*looks around* Ooops?
* Infinity takes her time walking up to Pope. She then eyes the cigarette, and shrugs, "So, you're committing suicide slowly, eh?"
* Stark sighs through his nose, closing his eyes as he thinks.
<Ire> GM: *the comm link buzzes next to Ire. He picks it up*
<Ire> Yes?
* Dahok kneels down and starts putting the stuff back together
* Silouette shakes her head in disbelief.
<Ire> Tikal: Hey, we just had a last minute application. Brand new material, but she's a healer. I'm sending her over.
<Ire> Right.
*** Caladia is now known as Unoria
* Ire flips the comm link off.
* Ire frowns at Dahok.
<Dahok> ....WhaT?!
* Firebird walks into his room
<Ire> ....
<Ire> Can I help you, Fyro?
<Dahok> It's not my fault! The stand was crappy!
<Silouette> NRP: I really should have set Silouette's quote as "Bakka baka."
* Dahok stands up, just setting it there
<Firebird> ...God, this place sucks total ass... needs something on the walls...
* Pope looks confused, then realizes she's taking about his cancer-stick. "Every twist's gotta have an addiction. Mine's fags."
<Pope> NRP: AHAHAHAHA ,that's gonna be funny out of context.
<Dahok> NRP: yeah it is..
<Dahok> I'm...just gonna goto my room....*turns and scuffle off*
<Infinity> ...so you're gay then? *she sounds as if she doesn't really understand a word that came out of his mouth*
<Ire> ...do that.
* Ire turns to look over at Silouette.
* Unoria rocks back and forth on her feet, looking around
<Ire> Nothing to do, Private?
<Pope> ..Are you bloody daft? Fag. FA-Oh, bloody hell, no, not 'gay'. You know, contrary to what yanks call things, other places have other names. 'Fag', cigarette, me smokes.
* Stark picks a small pouch from his belt, pulling a mushroom from it and eats it.
<Silouette> ...nothing in particular.
* Unoria picks up her belongings and walks around in hopes of finding building 38.
* Ire is faxed the rookie's application, studying it.
* Stark is standing outside fo Building 38, watching Unoria walk around.
* Infinity nods, with a soft intake of air, "Ah." She then shrugs, "Where are you going?"
* Ire nods at Silouette, saying nothing more.
* Firebird shrugs and heads outside
* Unoria notices the large "38" on a rugged building and walks towards it.
<Ire> GM: *it's a bright and sunny day. With a few rain clouds coming in*
* Pope rubs his forehead with his arm his hand is holding the cigarette with. "I'm gonna go get so bloomin' smashed I don't have to think about what a tosspot dump I'm in.
* Ire shakes his head at the application
* Ire throws it to the side.
* Silouette glances at the application.
* Unoria arrives outside of the building, biting her lip out of nervousness.
* Firebird walks out in time to hear the comment from Pope
<Pope> Ab' no, 'smashed' is not gettin' me face beaten in.
* Stark looks at Unoria
<Firebird> <You know, there's a place near here that sells imported stuff pretty cheap.>
* Infinity forces a grin that looks odd and disturbing on her usual stoic face, "....Drunk then? Can I come too?"
* Unoria meets Stark's eyes... "Hi.."
* Pope turns on his heels and looks at Firebird. "Well Twinkle toes, 'ow about you point me an' the bird here where to trip?"
* Stark looks at her through his round opaque glasses and nods.
<Ire> NRP: *Ire sits at the master computer, spying on all their conversations with an insane grin*
<Pope> NRP: No he's not, he's looking at porn!
<Unoria> ... I don't suppose you could tell me where I should be right now?
<Infinity> Let me guess, bird means woman? *she clicks her tongue* I'm learning a fucking new language.
<Firebird> <Fortunately, I understand that joke of a language you brits try to pass off as English.>
<Pope> Stick with me, luv, and I'll teach you a hella more.
<Stark> See Ire on the third floor.
<Unoria> Okay, thanks. *smiles slightly then glides past Stark and through the doors.
* Infinity shifts her wait, and just takes a sharp breath.
<Ire> NRP: Ire: Hi, you want to join the unit? Female: *nods* Ire: Okay, take off your clothes...
* Stark nods, and then eats another mushroom.
* Pope glares at Firebird. "It's bloody well better off than what you yanks piss out."
<Stark> NRP: Sounds like my kind of organization.
<Ire> GM: *the complex, for reference sake, is spak dab in the middle of Mega City.
* Unoria climbs the stairs in attempts to not loose her balance, finally reaching the 3rd floor.
* Ire is sitting at the computer. His black hair is in a mess, but not overly messy.
* Dahok quickly unpacks his stuff in his room
<Dahok> ...Man this place is so drab...
* Infinity drolly says, "You two are going to have to work with each other tomorrow morning, so at least behave so you can respect each other at dawn?"
<Dahok> And I still don't like the cold feel of the place...
* Dahok shakes off a shiver
<Firebird> .oO{...I'll make you bloody, ya dirty brit...} <Feh, whatever. Just be glad I'm in a good mood right now. Two blocks that way, turn left, one block straight ahead, place called Wildcat's is on the right. And I hope you get a hangover.>
* Silouette heads back downstairs.
<Ire> GM: *Silouette passes Unoria*
* Dahok throws his stuff onto the bed closest to the door
* Firebird turns and heads back inside
* Pope takes a drag off his cigarette as he walks off the way Firebird says. "Only respect he'll get from me is my fist respectin' his face."
* Unoria looks around at the strangers at the computers... ".. Is Ire here? I'm pretty sure he's the one I'm supposed to talk to"
* Ire looks up, eyeing the empty room besideS Silouette, who is leaving
<Firebird> .oO{Wouldn't be a good team if we didn't have the hornball British jackass and the silent-but-deadly commander...}
<Ire> I'm Lt. Ire. You must be Unoria?
* Unoria nods softly
* Infinity takes a few hurried steps after Pope before catching up, "Men."
<Ire> Alright, *he glances at a clipboard* we don't have a room where you'll have a roommate. Everyone else was paired up.
* Firebird heads towards hangar 4
<Ire> Take room 4.
* Dahok slides the picture of Slasher that he stole from the display and looks at it
*** Vile has joined #TAW
<Dahok> Hmmm....I still don't understand why anyone would vote for him...
* Unoria looks to the side, in a very shy manner. "Okay, so that's on the second floor?"
* Pope practically rants to himself, mumbling but occasionally throwing out words like 'bollocks' and 'poof'
<Ire> Yes. Rooms are on the second floor. Entertainment/kitchen first floor.
<Stark> NRP: The children processing plant.
* Infinity eyes Pope before stating simply, "Am I the only one who thinks this is a bloody goose chase?"
<Unoria> Okay thank you. *pauses* So... what did I miss?
* Dahok throws it to his desk and gets up, leaving the room
<Ire> Nothing important. Just show up in the morning at 9 for the beginning of the investigation.
<Dahok> ...Might as well wander around
* Pope looks at Infinity with a bit of surprise. "Then why're you 'ere then?"
* Infinity waves her finger back and forth, "Tut tut. I asked first."
<Silouette> NRP: Who's where now?
<Ire> NRP: Call out your locations, people.
<Stark> NRP: I'm standing outside.
* Unoria takes her stuff and returns to the second floor in search of her empty room
<Pope> NRP: Infinity and me are heading to a bar
<Firebird> NRP: Hangar 4.
<Unoria> NRP: 2nd floor
* Firebird walks up next to his motorcycle - of the hovering variety - and hesitates
* Pope grins and scratches his chin. "Yeah, probably is. I'm only 'ere 'cause my poofin' superiors back home wanted an agent on the job."
<Firebird> .oO{...Nah, better move in before I go get trashed...} *grabs his bag of belongings and heads back for the second floor
* Silouette steps outside the building.
* Infinity nods slowly, and looks at him, "Good. When the shit hits, and it will; it always does, let's watch each other's back."
* Unoria looks at the numbers on the doors and reaches her room. She opens up the door and is astonished of how bland it is.
<Pope> Couldn't pay me enough to keep my eyes off yer backside.
* Ire , finally being alone, sighs and runs a hand over his face, leaning back in the chair.
<Ire> Give me strength tomorrow...
* Infinity sighs softly, "Remind me to wear baggy jeans then."
* Firebird enters his room and drops his bag on his bed
* Dahok pops back into the room where Ire is
<Firebird> <Time to liven this place up a bit.>
<Dahok> Your the leader right?
* Ire leans forward, glancing at Dahok
<Ire> I'm the squad leader, yes.
<Dahok> So....what do you think happened to SlasheR?
<Ire> Probably dead.
<Ire> But I don't know if I believe the Lunarian bit.
<Unoria> NRP: there are windows in our rooms right? lol
<Ire> NRP: Yes.
<Silouette> NRP: Whoo! Ninja enterences!
* Unoria lays her posessions on the floor neatly and sit on a bed, gazing out the window.
<Dahok> It is kinda odd tho...if you think about it
<Ire> GM: *Pope and Infinity arrive at the Wildcat Bar*
* Firebird reaches into his bag and pulls out a ton of posters and strips to hang them with, and gets to work
<Ire> Oh?
* Pope stops in front of the bar Firebird pointed out. "I think this is the spot. What a shithole."
* Stark stands quietly outside, still and deep in thought.
<Dahok> If you read up on his history files, it was very clear that he didn't get along with them.
<Ire> Quite. His office was off-limits to Lunarians. McCabe took the idea and made the area anti-alien. He probably only let that Chiere in as a gesture to Garland Hianule who saved the planet.
<Pope> NRP: It was Sera all along!
* Infinity glances about the bar and shrugs, "At least it's a free standing structure with running water and isn't collapsing." She enters the bar, making her way to an empty spot.
<Pope> We'll test that theory, won't we..
* Silouette quietly surveys the outside of the building, for no apparent reason.
* Dahok leans back against a wall
<Infinity> Look... what the hell do I call you? Look, where I come from, this is a fucking miracle.
* Pope follows Infinity in with a bit of reserve
<Stark> NRP: Garland's a hero!
<Dahok> Wasn't there a Lunarian that worked alongside of him
* Ire looks utterly bland in emotion
<Ire> Not to my knowledge.
<Pope> Call me anythin' you want. People who hate me call me Pope. People who like me call me Pope. I call myself 'God'.
* Unoria sighs slightly and decides to go have a cigarette. She walks down the stairs and out the door she originally came in
<Silouette> NRP: You know what's really ironic? Cheryl would be a Lunarian
* Stark looks over his shoulder at Unoria
<Ire> GM: *Outside are Silouette, Stark, and Unoria*
<Dahok> ....Whatever happened to Slasher's adopted son and daughter in law?
<Pope> NRP: Ahh! It was Cheryl!
* Unoria looks up and smiles softly. "Hello again."
* Ire glances at a file with the names
<Stark> Hello.
<Ire> Dias and Eve? They vanished a few weeks after the incident.
<Dahok> NRP: Slasher denies all proof of lunarian in Cheryl's blood*
* Infinity glares coldy at Pope, "I hate God." She then softens her expression, "...I'll call you Pope. My name's Ayn, rhymes with pine."
<Dahok> That's kind of strange...
<Silouette> NRP: Actually, wait... Now that I think of it, she isn't really =/
<Ire> So did one Ariel.
* Unoria stands a distance away from Stark, not wanting to be in his personal 'bubble, lights her cigarette and takes a puff.
<Dahok> What about Cheryl? Slasher's mistress
<Pope> Ayn, right. I'll do well to remember that, I wager.
<Ire> Was with Slasher when the shuttle was destroyed.
* Stark glances a the cig
<Stark> May I?
<Dahok> Damn...
* Unoria offers Stark a cigarette out of the freshly opened package
* Stark takes one.
* Infinity nods slowly as she settles down at the bar. She rubs her chin, scratching skin toughened by the wastelands.
<Stark> Thank you.
* Dahok looks around
<Unoria> Do you have a light?
<Infinity> thank you Pope.
<Dahok> ....So do we have a training facility herE?
<Silouette> ...those things will kill you, you know.
* Stark nods, pulling out an awkward looking lighter
* Stark looks at Silouette
<Ire> We have various weapons training here, yes.
<Stark> Not when you're in my field, I suppose.
* Unoria looks to Silouette. "I'm like every other smoker when I say, I'm trying to quit."
<Pope> Anything for a bird with smashing bristols.
<Infinity> ...bristols?
* Stark takes a puff, and takes the cigarette out of his mouth and looks at it--and coughs once.
<Pope> *couughs, blaming it on the cigarette while looking away from her chest* Eyes! Yeah, 'bristols', eyes. Yeah.
<Stark> I've always wanted to try one of these... *cough*
* Silouette shakes her head a little.
* Ire looks at a monitor showing Stark, Silouette, and Unoria.
<Unoria> Oh my! *takes the cigarette from Stark and throws it to the ground* I assumed you smoked.. *blushes*
* Infinity rolls her eyes, those completely blue ones, "Right. Get drunk Pope, maybe you'll get smarter."
* Dahok punches at thin air, his shoelaces coming undone, and causing him to trip over them, sending him straight to the ground
<Ire> ...
* Ire turns back to Dahok.
<Dahok> OOOF! *pushes himself up and starts rubbing his nose*
<Dahok> .....Bad Mojo...
<Ire> ...
<Pope> Doubt it, I doubt it.
<Stark> Sorry, I'm not used to meeting new people--and talking's not my thing--so I just assumed to create some common ground.
* Pope orders stif drinks for the both of them
* Infinity shakes her head, tugging at her lip, "So you're just stupid then?" Her tone isn't mean, nor it is friendly.
<Unoria> Perhaps next time we can find a better common ground then killing ourselves faster.. ?
<Ire> GM: *more rain clouds cover the sky as it hits around 6:00 PM*
* Stark nods.
* Firebird finishes his work around the room up with a poster of an anime-styled group shot of the Wraith Hunters, and dusts his hands off
* Silouette smirks, looking a little ammused at that.
* Unoria looks to the sky. "... Doesn't look pleasant."
<Ire> NRP: Snipe: *poses in a cool position*
* Stark looks up.
<Pope> I'm just real.
<Stark> I think it's the same as any sky.
<Silouette> NRP: *wants one of those posters*
<Stark> NRP: I don't care as long as you aren't drawing Garland with a hard-on.
<Silouette> NRP: Why can I see DS poses like Ultra Magnus in the TF movie poster... o.o;
<Dahok> I don't like this city...
<Dahok> It's too cold...too much metal
* Infinity eyes Pope, and shakes her head, almost sadly, "Right."
<Firebird> <And that's that... now to go get tra-wait, I sent the brit to Wildcat's. Dammit!>
* Ire eyes Dahok
<Ire> What?
<Pope> NRP: Let's see if we can pull him apart jsut like Magnus!
<Unoria> Soo... Why did you two decide to join?
<Ire> Oh, yes, you're from the rainforest.
<Silouette> NRP: Whoo!
* Ire says dismissively, turning back to the computer.
<Dahok> Yeah...We live in massive tree's...so warm.
* Pope shrugs. "Ain't really lookin' for your approval, luv."
<Dahok> So, do your women walk around topless like ours do?
<Ire> ...no.
<Stark> Let's say I had a calling.
<Vile> NRP: Dial 10-10-220. Sorry, couldnt resist.
* Infinity looks to Pope, "Let's just say I wasn't giving giving it, nor was I giving it. I was just commenting."
<Dahok> That's a shame.
* Unoria looks away, nodding.
<Dahok> So how strong are you?
<Ire> ...what do you mean?
* Unoria finished her smoke and flicks it straight into the air, only for it to fall on her foot.
* Infinity unbuttons her cloak, letting it fall open upon her shoulders. She shoves her goggles up to serve as a headband.
<Dahok> Well you are the group leader. So you must be pretty strong. Unless MegaCity does things differently.
* Stark smirks slightly.
<Ire> ....
<Ire> I don't judge my strength.
<Unoria> OWWW! *kicks her foot, trying not to loose her balance*
<Silouette> *pauses* ...I just felt I needed to do something decent with my life to make up for my past.
<Dahok> But then how do you know if you can win a fight
* Pope takes his drink and holds it up to Infinity in a small toast. "To lost causes, eh? Cheers." *takes a huge gulp*
* Unoria looses her balance and falls sqaure on her ass..
* Stark offers his hand to help her up.
* Infinity lifts the glass, and then sets it on the table. She shakes her head, "I don't drink... but I certainly support lost causes."
* Dahok blinks a couple times then looks around
<Dahok> Did you hear that?
<Ire> My speciality is shooting. That---hear what?
<Unoria> Ow... *looks around, extremely embarassed...* Oh... that's okay thanks anyway.
* Stark nods.
<Dahok> Nothing....*looks around some more*
* Unoria lifts herself up and dusts her butt off
<Pope> *shrugs and chuckles* More for me, then.
<Pope> NRP: BRB, need food
* Infinity slides the glass over to him, "Enjoy it."
* Ire grunts.
* Unoria is a bright shade of red... " I'm kinda clumsy... >.< "
* Dahok turns his head to a corner
<Dahok> ....Do we have mice?
* Ire looks over a few files on the computer
<Stark> Hm. *smiles a little bit*
<Ire> ...I don't know.
* Ire sounds slightly annoyed.
<Firebird> <...What to do... what to do... I know, I'll go bother Ire!>
<Dahok> I think we do...
* Firebird jumps off of his bed and heads for the stairs
<Dahok> I can hear them...
<Silouette> ...what about you Unoria? Why'd you join...?
* Ire types in a memo to HQ to send in the pest control.
* Dahok quickly runs over and deletes it
<Dahok> Leave them be.
* Pope makes a grossed look. "With this pisswater, it'll be bloody hard to."
<Ire> ... Then quit talking about them.
* Ire moves back to his work.
* Unoria kicks some dirt on the ground... "Oh me?... To be honest, I had nothing else going for me."
<Stark> How so?
<Dahok> So why do you think they made this team if you assume that Slasher is dead.
* Infinity shrugs slightly, "Then don't drink it Pope." Her lips twitch again, despite herself.
<Ire> Captain Tikal was fond of how Slasher did things. She wants the truth behind his disappearance.
<Pope> Yanks wouldn't know good bitter if it bit 'em in the arse.
* Firebird stops before climbing the stairs
<Pope> 'Don't drink it'? I paid for it, I'm bloody well gonna drink it, I need somethin' to kill some braincells.
<Dahok> He was known to do wierd things...Can I have all the data available on him.
<Ire> It's on your personal computer. Read it at your leisure.
<Unoria> After I moved from home, all I did was work at a silly restaurant and worked on my karate when I wasn't at the restaurant... I just didn't want to be doing that for the rest of my life I suppose...
* Infinity bursts out laughing, an akward thing, and then looks at him with a blush on her face.
* Stark nods.
<Stark> Sounds reasonable.
<Dahok> Do you think the Tsiv might have done it? He did help turn the turn against them in the final battle.
<Ire> I doubt it.
<Firebird> .oO{Nah... I need to practice a bit...}
* Firebird heads back to his room
<Unoria> Well, karate and my sword handling skills. *motions to each katana hanging on either hip.
* Silouette nods a bit.
* Stark holds up his walking stick.
<Dahok> So what do you think about McCabe?
* Unoria smiles and nods to Stark. "A trusty walking stick."
<Pope> Well, it's jolly well to see you ain't completely frigid.
<Stark> Indeed.
<Ire> He's like any politician or dictator. He's in it for himself.
<Unoria> How about you Silouette, what do you do in your spare time.. ?
* Firebird goes into a martial arts stance and begins a routine
*** Firebird is now known as Sherin-Sleepin
<Dahok> Huh....that's true.
<Silouette> ...read usually.
* Infinity widens her eyes and then calms herself, "Don't think this is a common thing Pope. We wouldn't want anyone to think I actually was approachable."
<Dahok> So what time do we meet tomorrow?
<Pope> Oh, no, we wouldn't want THAT, now would we?
<Ire> 9.

Session Ident: #taw
<Unoria> I have a few books in my bag I like to read every once and a while. Have to pass the time somehow.
<Infinity> Of course not.
* Pope smirks and drinks from his ale again
<Ire> GM: *it begins to rain*
* Ire glances up as the rain drums on the roof.
* Infinity lifts her eyes to the ceiling, and rests her forarms against the bar. She smiles as she hears the pitter patter of rain on the roof, "....I'm going outside."
<Dahok> Well...I think I'm gonna go work out...pump some iron ya know...*starts flexing his arms* Then I'll read up on Slasher.
* Unoria looks up to the sky and feels a few drops hit her face.
* Ire nods.
<Dahok> *looks up* The Earth's crying...
* Ire glances at Dahok again, raising an eyebrow. He says nothing.
* Silouette looks up at the rain, letting it fall on her face.
* Pope looks at infinity then outside. "You ARE daft, it's pourin' out!"
<Unoria> I love the rain..
<Ire> GM: *in the sky a picture of Garland is seen, waving at them from beyond the grave*
<Ire> NRP: I'm kidding, of course.
* Infinity stands slowly, and quickly makes her way outside. She calls over her shoulder, "I haven't seen it rain in two years!"
<Pope> RP: ...Elvis?!
<Pope> *NRP, rather
<Dahok> NRP: *a buldge in his pants as he sits next to Mother Theresa*
* Infinity buttons her cloak up, and spins around in the rain, letting it plaster her hair against her scalp. She lets out a whooping call
<Dahok> Well...I best be going. I'll see you tomorrow then sir.
<Ire> Alright, Private.
<Vile> NRP: She is hit by a car. "Damn hippy!" is heard, along with the screech of tires.*
* Pope sits there in confusion, holding his glass. "You sure know how to bugger 'em, Pope ol' boy.."
* Dahok turns and walks out, the door sticking shut, causing him to slam face first into it
* Dahok rubs his face
<Ire> ....
* Dahok takes a step back and then forward again the door opening
<Dahok> Bad Mojo...
* Dahok walks through it, the door slamming shut, clipping his ass
<Dahok> YIPE!!
<Ire> .........
*** Dahok is now known as Dias-Away
<Ire> GM: *the rain continues to fall down, soaking all that stand under it.*
<Unoria> No matter how much I enjoy the rain, I think I would enjoy it more if it were a soothing sound to help me fall asleep. I'm going to take a bit of a rest.
* Infinity looks up at the rain with blinking eyes, a smile on her face.
<Unoria> Nice 'chatting' with you.
*** Dias-Away has quit IRC (Quit: )
* Silouette nods to Unoria.
* Stark nods and steps in to the building.
* Unoria walks up the stairs and returns to her room for some relaxation time
* Unoria is away -( Cally-Sleeping )- at 01:00a -( P:On / L:On )-
* Ire sits alone in the control room, hands clapsed together as he thinks.
*** Unoria is now known as Cally-Sleeping
<Stark> NRP: I too amd going to sleep.
<Pope> NRP: Wimps!
*** Stark is now known as Garland
* Infinity ambles back into the bar, a goofy grin on her face as she sloshes back to the bar.
* Ire glances at some other files near the master computer, one of which is partially covered up, only a "5th" showing.
<Pope> Luv, don't take this the wrong way, but you're wet.
<Ire> GM: *other people in the bar stare at Infinity like she's bonkers*
* Infinity flops back on her stool, and shrugs, "It feels good."
*** Vile is now known as |Legion|
<Pope> You're an absolute pisser.
* Infinity blinks, "....pisser?"
<Pope> 'Funny'
<Pope> Humorous.
*** Garland has quit IRC (Quit: I am a hunter of peace, I chase the elusive mayfly known as love.)
* Infinity nods, and says in all seriousness, "I am the cutting edge of the funniness."
* Silouette heads inside, and drys off in her room.
* Pope toasts to Infinity again
<Ire> NRP: *Ire turns his camera to Silouette's room*
<Silouette> NRP: *saw that coming a mile ahead*
* Pope downs the second ale and slams it down with a hearty gasp.
* Infinity shakes her head wryly and tucks her untamed and now wet hair behind her ears.
<Pope> Ya look like a drowned rat.
<Infinity> Is there a problem with that?
* Ire flips off the master computer and stands. He moves down the stairs to the first floor, moving to the kitchen. Opening the fridge, he pulls out one bottle of beer, then moves into the entertainment room and sits down on the couch.
<Pope> Soggy rodents? Nah, no problem 'ere.
* Silouette heads downstairs with a towel over her shoulders, and starts brewing a pot of tea.
* Ire flips on the holovid and flips it to the news.
* Infinity gives Pope a nods of the head, "Good. Wouldn't want any trouble." She slides the cloak off, hanging it over her stool to dry.
* Infinity does have a black t-shirt on
* Ire drinks his beer as he watches the Mega City/Vesperton newscaster ramble on about things Tyler McCabe did today and what not*
* Pope steals a glance of Infinity out of the corner of his eye and grins to himself as he takes out another cigarette
<Silouette> *sits down in a comfortable seat with her tea* ...anything interesting?
<Ire> ... *pause* No.
* Silouette nods and quietly sips her tea.
* Infinity lifts her eyes to the ceiling, and shrugs, "Crazy Brits."
<Ire> GM: *the newscaster talks about the news education course being offered in Vesperton State University*
<Pope> Abso-bloody-lutely.
<Ire> NRP: New
* Infinity looks to Pope, "You're insane, do know that?"
* Ire takes another sip from his drink, glancing over at Silouette briefly.
<Infinity> NRP: the irony comes from who says that of course!
* Pope exhales a cloud of smoke. "I wouldn't be who I was if I weren't."
<Pope> NRP: Heheh
* Infinity caughs slightly, and then just remains silent.
* Silouette quietly sips her tea, watching the TV with little interest in the present story.
<Infinity> <I gotta go>
<Pope> NRP: Kay
<Infinity> NRP: Opps. used to other rps styles.
