<Ire> Session 10.5
<Pope> NRP: Minisession for anyone who wants to join in
<Ire> Time Chart: April 18th, 2222
<Ire> Location: Building 38
* Ire sits in the control room, the sun beginning to dip down below the skyscrapers. He's leaned back, his outfit still torn and bloodied from the earlier escapade.
* Infinity lays in Pope's bed, under the covers of his blankets. She's half asleep, her eyes half open.
* Pope stands in front of the window, smoking as he looks out at the city
* Infinity slowly sits up, and looks at Pope, a look of sadness on her face, "....I thought your people learned from thier mistakes."
* Ire rotates his damaged shoulder.
* Pope turns his head slightly, looking towards Infinity over his shoulder. "Not all of us have. Don't wager we ever will, ethier."
* Infinity pulls the sheet around her, her pale skin noticable against the sheet. She sighs softly, and looks out the window as she stands. "Then there's not much hope, is there?"
<Pope> If there weren't, luv, we'd already be dead.
<Infinity> Like I said, we already are.
* Pope turns to look at Infinity, trying to read her face and sighs heavily. "It ain't a perfect world, girl, but it's all some of us have got."
* Infinity looks to Pope, with a face that holds much wisdom and fear of what might happen. She remains silent, but drops the sheet, and pulls her tanktop and jeans on.
* Pope puts out his cigarette and heads out of his room, giving a brief glance back to Infinity before he goes
* Infinity sighs, and lifts her eyes as she follows after him, "Where are we going?"
<Pope> To see Ire. To figure out what the next plan is.
*** Sherinmir is now known as Sherin-Sleepin
* Infinity nods slowly, "Right." She glances at her watch, and then bites on her lip for a moment, "Why are you guys working in this system?"
* Pope stops and looks at back. "'This system'?"
* Infinity cross her arms and stops as well, "An angency that clearly doesn't want this team to uncover something. An angency that is giving a group of good officers joke assignments."
* Pope shrugs. "Dunno, luv, but I bloody hell think Nazis aren't a waste of our time."
* Infinity waves a finger, "You're ordered to react, not act." She then shrugs, and walks past him, "I've got a name, you can use it from time to time...."
<Pope> So do I, Ayn. *sticks out his tongue at her as they near teh control room*
<Infinity> Micheal. *she sighs, and then pushes the door open, sliding into the control room*
* Ire is leaning back in his seat, the window slightly open to let in the golden rays of the twilight in. His eyes are half-closed as he sits there, damaged and wounded, a look of profound unease on his face. His left arm dangles by the side of the chair, his shoulder damaged and yet to be patched.
<Pope> Good lord, mate, you dead or what?
<Infinity> You should seek medical assistence.
* Ire tilts his head to see them, immediately leans forward and goes back to a neutral look, forcing his arm into his lap.
<Ire> I'm alright.
<Infinity> I believe the expression is "And I'm the fucking tooth fairy."
<Pope> NRP: "And I'm fucking the tooth fiary." "....What?"
* Ire nods briefly, all business as usual
<Ire> So, what can I do for you, Privates?
* Infinity glances to Pope.
<Pope> Yeah. We wanna know why the 'ell we ain't still persuing the Slasher case.
* Ire seems to darken a bit in expression and turns a little so his face isn't in their line of sight
<Ire> I suppose you both weren't here for the aftermath of Tikal's death, were you?
* Infinity shakes her head, "....No."
* Pope coughs and looks towards the floor
* Ire grabs a pen with his right hand and twirls it a bit like he does his handguns.
<Ire> We're ordered off the case, Privates. No one wanted this case reopened and so they buried it.
<Ire> They took all our files, too.
* Ire looks back, looking calm again.
<Pope> So that's it? We're just gonna let 'em throw this out without a fight?
* Infinity slides onto Ire's desk, and sits there lotus style. Her posture remains rather stiff, but ultimately in perfect posture, "Perhaps you need to follow a different path."
<Infinity> Have you determined who murdered Tikal?
* Pope looks cockeyed at Infinity as she climbs up ontro the desk
* Ire pauses, looking between the two as they both ask their questions
* Ire begins to tap his pencil against the side of his desk in almost a pattern.
<Ire> No, we're not going to investigate this case any further. And no, I don't know the killer.
* Infinity grins broadly, and leans forward, difficult to do in this position for those yoga trained, "That's what we should be investigating."
<Ire> It's not our case, Private. *keeps tapping* Forget about it.
<Infinity> And this sits well with you?
<Ire> ... I do as I'm ordered.
* Ire pauses, then resumes the tapping.
* Infinity looks at Ire with a look of fury, her eyes gazing at him with deadly thoughts racing across them. She remains silent, though her lip trembles.
* Ire looks at her totally void of expression, a look that could almost come off that he doesn't care. Plus he keeps annoyingly tapping.
<Pope> ...Do you bloody have to keep that tappin' go-*stops in midsentence*-uh, nevermind.
* Infinity stands slowly. She glances to Pope, and rushes out of the room. A loud clanging could be heard as she punches her fist against the wall of the hall
* Ire twirls the pencil and throws it to the side
<Ire> Good day, Private.
* Pope looks after Infinity, then back at Ire with slight hesitation. "Yeah, don't think that's gonna happen, guv."
* Ire leans forward
<Ire> Becareful of what you say, Pope, and where you say it.
* Ire goes back to looking out the window.
* Infinity winces silently, and holds her fist tenderly after the impact. She cradles it, and paces, as if waiting for Pope. She's muttering incoherent things about the slaves of God who just fucking followed orders and killed her family.
* Pope steps out into the hall, looking for Infinity
* Infinity is there, still muttering.
<Pope> Uh, you okay...? *rubs the back of his neck*
* Infinity blinks, and looks at Pope, "...No. Not really."
* Pope steps next to her and rests his hand on her shoulder. "Alright, so what's buggerin' you?"
* Infinity lets go of her hand, and sighs, her body relaxing a bit, "....I thought he was better. Following orders. They followed orders too, those bastards that killed my family. The fucking Nazis followed orders when they murdered 10 million people...." She shakes her head, "Orders."
* Pope puts his other hand on her other shoulder and turns her to face him close. "Luv, believe me when I say he's right in this..." *he says firmly, but he's oddly winks at her at the same time*
* Infinity catches the wink and purses her lips. She presses close against him, holding him tightly, "....Just hold me."
* Ire stands up, with much effort, and tilts forward.
* Pope gently wraps his arms around her and craddles her near, resting the side of his head ontop of hers. "I'm 'ere for ya, luv."
* Ire holds his shoulder and walks down into the hallway. He passes Infinity and Pope, then moves down the stairs down to the first floor.
* Infinity mouths against his ear since her lips are hidden by his face, "....I understand..." She then tightens her hug for a moment before pulling away gently, "....let's get me drunk."
<Ire> I think I saw a wild cat outside. I'll be right back.
* Ire opens the front door and steps outside.
* Pope watches Ire go, then looks back at Infinity. "Sounds like a plan to me."
* Infinity nods, and reaches her hand out to Pope, "Come on."
* Pope grins and takes her hand, following along
* Infinity makes her way outside, and looks up at the sky for a moment, before making her way into the streets. She stays close to Pope, and while her eyes seek the crowd for danger, she seems dazed by the crowd.
<Pope> NRP: Oh shit, I forgot what time I have to get up tomorrow, we mgiht have to wrap this up soon or you guys continue without me
<Ire> NRP: But we love you.
<Pope> NRP: As much as you love me, I love getting to my second week of class on time. =P
<Infinity> NRP: you goin now?
<Pope> NRP: Well, if you guys want to continue without me, I will
<Ire> NRP: Staaaay.
<Ire> NRP: <Pope> Er, uh, you go on ahead. I'll be right back *Runs off* <Infinity> ... *RPs onward!* See? It doesn't look right.
<Pope> NRP: I will if we can wrap this up soon
<Infinity> NRP: stay.
<Infinity> NRP: okay, we can
* Pope stays close to Infinity, not really looking out
<Ire> Voice: Carefully slow down and admire the shop window
* Infinity blinks, but does as the voice commands. She slows down, and gazes at the shop window. She eyes Pope for a minute, her hand tugging on his.
* Pope jumps, not daring to look behind them and plays along
* Ire is seen leaning against the wall of a building, not far from Wildcat's. Perhaps it's for effect, perhaps he needs the support. He stays partially in the shadows, next to the shop window.
<Ire> They shouldn't be looking at this spot just yet. Unless they're real smart.
* Pope talks out of the side of his mouth. "Look, mate, dunno what yer game is, but I'd advise you not to pull anythin' croonie."
* Ire looks at Pope and Infinity.
* Infinity looks to Ire.
<Pope> ...That ain't real bright, mate.
* Ire looks forward, looking tired
<Ire> I don't have time to be clever, Pope.
<Ire> The building is bugged. You shouldn't be asking those sort of questions in there.
* Ire looks at Infinity to make sure she gets that one.
* Infinity nods slowly.
<Infinity> Right.
* Ire sighs, looking at a loss of what to say next.
<Pope> Let's get inside, then, don't rightly enjoy bein' out in the open.
<Ire> They'll be at Wildcat's.
<Ire> And if you don't show soon.
* Ire doesn't bother to finish that line.
<Infinity> ....I know places they won't.
<Pope> Bugger.
<Infinity> We'll talk there, then.
* Ire stands there and looks at them both.
<Ire> I don't quit what I promise to look into. But at this point, it's going to be strictly under the radar. I can't let people know we're poking around.
<Pope> Right.
* Infinity nods slowly, "Of course."
<Ire> And both of you need to be careful, too. Or you might end up like Tikal.
* Ire turns to go, lifting up a cat from underneath his torn uniform
<Ire> I got a wildcat to drop off.
<Pope> ...That's sick, mate.
* Infinity chortles softly, and thinks for a moment as if to say something else, "....You'd better do that then."
* Ire pauses, looking at Pope.
<Pope> ...Well it is.
* Ire looks at the cat and back up
<Ire> I don't understand.
<Infinity> ...Neither do I... he's odd.
<Pope> Bugger the both of ya.
<Ire> Cat: Mew.
<Ire> Enjoy your drinks. When I get a break on S, I'll let you know.
* Infinity lifts her eyes to the sky, and shrugs, "We'd all better be going."
* Ire walks off with the cat.
* Infinity looks to Pope, and tugs him along as she begins to walk, "I hate this planet."
* Pope looks at Infinity. "You don't see me runnin' ;round with cats under my skivs."
<Infinity> No, its why I keep you around.
<Infinity> NRP: I gots to go now
<Pope> NRP: Good place to stop anyway
<Pope> MINISESIION ENDS!
