<McCabe> Session 242: A New Year
<McCabe> Location: Mega City; McCabe's Manor
<McCabe> Time Chart: Feb. 19th, 2224
<McCabe> Narrator: About two months had passed since the defeat of Atheos and the world was at peace again. For the time being. But before I can go into what happened to our heroes, there's one last tale to be told
<McCabe> Narrator: As you know, most of the group moved in with McCabe - until they could find themselves a place to live. McCabe owed Slasher some favors, so here it was time to pay up. But, as things be told, it seemed no one intended to move out
<McCabe> Narrator: And so, McCabe schemed...schemed to get his manor back to a quiet state...
<McCabe> GM: *an explosion rocks the entire manor - coming from the location of X1's lab*
<McCabe> GM: *outside snow falls from the sky, blanketing the entire city in white*
* Colephantus looks up, and begins to walk idley toward X1' lab.
* McCabe sits at his desk, sighing.
<Colephantus> I wonder what he blew up this time....
<McCabe> GM: *Colephantus is once again in a male reploid body, having spent a month getting it made*
* Slasher stands outside with Chad as the sound of the explosion is heard
* Dias-Auction has joined #taw
* Dias-Auction is now known as Chad
<McCabe> <Katrina> *sits in the library, not bothering to look up from her book*
* Colephantus has pretty much the same outer appearance as his previous male body, but did have Slasher add a few of the female reploids programs as well. Namely the electric field and teleportation.
<Colephantus> NRP:If thats cool with you.
<McCabe> <Aya> *makes a snowman*
<Slasher> NRP: No programs for you!
<Slasher> NRP: *kicks Cole out of his body shop*
<Ariel> NRP: As long as he didn't keep the PMS program...
<Chad> NRP: You know Slasher would leave it in there.
* Slasher looks over at Aya, a smile on his face
* Ariel sits quietly on the roof, eyes closed, resting her head back against the chimney.
* Colephantus stops at the door to X1's lab and knocks. "Hey whats going on in there?"
<Chad> ...Is he really safe to have around?
* Slasher looks back to Chad
<McCabe> <Wind> *is also perched on the roof, his black jacket on, scanning the area. He has a peaceful look about him, as if he's sure of himself and his place in the world*
<Slasher> No, but he does make life more interesting
<McCabe> <X1's voice> Ack! Don't open the door! Meglomantic quantum rays are leaking!
<Ariel> ...this would be so much more peaceful without the random explosions.
* Colephantus stops, mid reach for the door. "WHat the hell are you doing!?"
<McCabe> <Wind> It reminds me of the old days.
* Chad lets out a sigh, then squats down, and runs his hands through the snow
<McCabe> <X1's voice> *is heard choking* Ack! Tentacles! Dont' open! AAAACK
* Colephantus rubs his chin....
* Colephantus opens the door, his Katar's ignited.
<McCabe> GM: *tentacles grab Cole's face and drags him off into the netherrealm*
<Colephantus> Gah!
* Colephantus is drug off.
<McCabe> <X1> I warned him.
* Slasher turns to Aya again
* Slasher then looks at the snowman
<Ariel> Even the old days were stressful.
<Slasher> It looks beautiful Aya.
<McCabe> GM: *Colephantus returns with a 5 day beard, his clothes torn, and covered in goo*
<McCabe> <Aya> Thank you! *She smiles brightly*
* Colephantus scrathes his head.
<Colephantus> Uhhh...ewwww. *begins to wipe the goo off.*
<Slasher> NRP: I didn't know Reploids grew beards
<McCabe> NRP: Yep
<Slasher> NRP: Just hte freaks eh.
<Colephantus> NRP: WOOT>
<McCabe> <Wind> I agree. I've been looking for our place, but I don't exactly have an income.
* Slasher kneels down and scoops up some snow and packs it tightly into a snowball
<Slasher> Hey Chad...
* Chad turns, looking at Slasher
* Slasher swings his arm backwards and releases the snowball into the air
* Chad watches it soar into the air over the manor
<McCabe> <wind> *is hit in the head by the snowball. He stands there, his hands in his coat pockets*
<Colephantus> I feel so....used....
* Colephantus retreats to his room for a shower and some new clothes.
<Slasher> It's just a shame he won't respond to it.
<McCabe> <Aya> *laughs*
* Ariel giggles a little
<McCabe> <Wind> *reaches out, teleporting a pack of snow off the ground with his hyperspace powers. He has it reappear over Slasher's head, dropping it*
* Chad lets out a short laugh
<Ariel> And I don't think my place in the mountains is really suited for living.
* Slasher is instantly covered by block of snow
* Slasher coughs
<McCabe> <Aya> *laughs harder*
* Colephantus steps outside moments later, clean and with a warm set of clothes on. He glances over at Slasher covered in snow.
* Chad starts laughing
<McCabe> <Wind> I'm sure we'll find the perfect place soon.
<Slasher> YOU CHEAT!!!
<Colephantus> So Slasher...Thanks for building my new body.
* Slasher snaps his head to Cole, then dusts the snow off himself
<Slasher> Sorry about placing those boobs on your back.
<Slasher> It was X1's idea and it sounded good at the time.
<McCabe> GM: *a giant mech busts out of the manor and runs away, with X1 chasing it*
* Alicia is now known as Terra`
<Colephantus> ......
* Slasher watches the mech run-away
<McCabe> <Wind> *Stands there on the roof, looking down at the mech running away.
<Slasher> ...He needs to stay away from my toys.
* Colephantus glances at his back, rubbing a hand along it.
* Chad stands upright and begins scuffing his left foot in the snow
<Terra`> ... I'll never totally get used to this place.
<McCabe> <Wind> The more things change - the more they stay the same.
<Colephantus> NRP: brb I gotta run my girlfriend a salad at her work. Shouldn't be longer than 15 minutes.
* Slasher looks at Chad
<McCabe> <Aya> *puts buttons on the snowman's face*
* McCabe sits in his office, then hits the loudspeaker for the entire manor to hear.
* Slasher walks over behind Aya and looks at the snowman
<McCabe> Terra, could you report to my office?
* Chad reaches down and picks up some snow, he packs it loosely and walks over to the snowman
<McCabe> <Wind> *looks down at Chad and Aya, lost in thought*
<Terra`> Best go. *starts to McCabe's office*
* Chad throws the snowman against the manor's side, then pulls off his stocking cap and places it ontop of the snowman's head
<Chad> NRP: Snowball not snowman
* McCabe waits for Terra, sitting there with his fingers locked together.
<Ariel> What's on your mind..?
<McCabe> <Aya> It looks good. *hugs Chad*
* Terra` walks into McCabe's office. "What do you want me for?"
<McCabe> <Wind> Mmm. Just thinking about kids. I missed most of Katrina's growing up years.
* Chad hugs her back
<Chad> Of course it does, you made it.
<McCabe> Have a seat, Terra. *he smiles, gesturing at a chair*
* Terra` sits down, wondering what's up
<McCabe> You've been living here at my house for ... two months, correct?
<Ariel> Yeah...
<Terra`> Yeah... I need to figure out what I'm going to do now.
<McCabe> <Wind> *crosses his arms, glancing at Ariel affectionately* Just a few more weeks until the big day.
<Slasher> NRP: Wind: And then 3 more years for me to finally commit.
<McCabe> Do you plan to return to London? With your qualifications, I'm sure you could become head of the military forces there.
* Terra` pauses for a moment. "Yeah.. that'd probably be best."
<Ariel> Mmm... I hope no one does anything stupid...
<McCabe> It would be - career wise. Yet I sense you have attachments here.
<McCabe> <Wind> *laughs* I'm sure someone will probably set fire during the ceremony.
<Terra`> Well, I am the odd one out, really.
* McCabe leans back, looking all sly and crafty in his suit.
<McCabe> I have a job offer for you - here.
<Terra`> Really?
<Ariel> *sigh* Or summon an elder god...
<McCabe> <Wind> Or bring X1's coffee.
<Slasher> So Chad...You ready to train today?
<McCabe> As you know, the Alternate Unit has been shut down since Slasher "dismissed" it months ago. And out of the original members, you're the only one left that's right in the head.
* Terra` laughs
<Ariel> *shudders* Don't even mention that
<McCabe> <Wind> Giant chicken?
<Terra`> Aren't that many of us left, to be honest.
<Chad> *looks at him* Yeah, let's go. *he turns to Aya* You going to join us or watch today?
<McCabe> I want to re-esablish the Alternate Unit. And I want you to lead it.
<Ariel> I'm hoping they're extinct.
<Terra`> Really? I'd be honoured.
<McCabe> <Aya> I'll watch.
<McCabe> You'd be set up in Building 38 - your old building. I've already taken the liberty of having everything switched out and upgraded. You'll have Ire's old room - the commander room. And you will have say-so on who's allowed on the unit. I'll probably choose a few members myself - political choices, but a necessary evil. Are you willing?
* Chad nods to her then turns and starts walking to a new addition to the manor
* Slasher follows after Chad
<McCabe> <Aya> *skips along*
<Terra`> Sure
<McCabe> Well. It's open right now. You can leave her and go over there whenever you're ready.
<McCabe> (Here)
<McCabe> And good luck, Lt. Terra.
<Terra`> Thankyou sir.
* McCabe looks back down at his paperwork.
* Terra` stands up to leave
* Chad enters the new addition, which is an empty room with wood flooring, he walks over to the center and begins taking his coat and sweathshirt off
* Slasher steps in behind Chad, he takes his meager coat off and tosses it to the floor
<McCabe> <Aya> *sits on the floor, indian style*
* Slasher cracks his neck and slides into a fighting stance
* Chad looks over at Slasher then slides into the same fighting stance
* McCabe is now known as Wind
<Wind> You know, when I was in town the other day, I noticed something disturbing. A few of the stores had signs saying that reploids weren't allow to shop in there.
<Slasher> Ya ready?
<Wind> <Katrina> *finishes her book and sits in her chair, taking a nap*
* Chad nods then hops forward throwing a high kick aimed at Slasher's forehead
* Terra` looks over the crowd, thinking
* Slasher throws his right hand up, blocking the kick with his forearm
* Chad pulls his foot back then tweaks his right foot, and snaps his left foot back out again
* Slasher hops backwards and punches Chad's foot as it snaps back out, shoving him off balance
* Chad stumbles on one foot backwards
<Wind> <Aya> *cheers for Chad*
<Terra`> 'ey Cole..? You have any plans for the future?
<Terra`> NRP: Ack, need to change nick
* Terra` is now known as Renelle
* Colephantus glances at Terra. "Not really."
* Chad regains his balance and begins to charge forward, only to have Slasher shove him back off balance again
<Renelle> <Terra> McCabe's restarting the Alternate Unit. You could join, if you wanted.
* Wind stands still for so long, the falling snow begins to pile up on him.
<Colephantus> If I could fight then I will.
<Slasher> If you can't maintain your balance Chad, you'll never get on the offense.
<Renelle> <Terra> Thanks. I wonder if Strife'd want to join?
* Wind looks down from the roof at Terra recruiting
<Colephantus> It still gonna be in that old building?
* Chad falls onto his ass
<Renelle> <Terra> Yeah. It'll be just like 'ome.
<Colephantus> Uhh sure...Let me gather my things...
* Slasher reaches down to help Chad up
* Chad grabs the hand and pulls himself up
<Colephantus> Should I go ahead and go there?
<Renelle> <Terra> Whenever you feel ready.
<Colephantus> I'll go now. This place is getting to crazy for me...
* Colephantus rubs his neck and he steps toward his room.
* Chad slides into a fighting stance again
<Wind> <Katrina> *keeps sitting in the library, asleep*
* Slasher nods to him then lunges forward, throwing his knee at Chad's chest
<Wind> <Aya> *plays with her hair as they fight*
* Chad flips backwards and kicks off Slasher's knee and hand springs into the air
<Ariel> <Sil> *glances at Terra. She doesn't need to pose an enterance. It's Sil!* ....he just wants people out of this house.
<Renelle> <Terra> I'm guessing you'll join?
<Renelle> <Terra> Well, rejoin.
<Ariel> <Sil> ....if you have use of me.
* Slasher plants his other foot and slides backwards several inches
* Colephantus has his gag over his shoulder as he steps out, he glances in at Kat, sets down a piece of paper in front of her and then steps back out, walking for the exit, he glances in on McCabe, "You'll be happy to know i'm leaving. Please save your sorrow for later."
<Slasher> Good...*dashes forward again, this time going for a spinning kick
<Colephantus> NRP: bag*
<Wind> <McCabe> *looks up* .... Hm. So you must have been recruited.
* Chad lands on his feet and ducks under the spinning kick
<Colephantus> Obviously.
* Slasher comes full circle and and and brings kicks downwards at Chad
<Colephantus> So thats one less irratation for you. Right?
<Renelle> Sil.. of course.
* Chad shoves his hands up and slides back from the kick
<Wind> <McCabe> *looks back down at his paper* Well, goodbye, Xanatos.
<Renelle> <Terra> *says that*
<Renelle> <Terra> It wouldn't be the same without you.
<Colephantus> NRP: Coughs.
<Ariel> <Sil> ......it won't be the same without the others either.
<Colephantus> NRP: Xanatos eh? So i'm Phirax's brother?
<Colephantus> Xanatos?
<Renelle> <Terra> ... yeah.. I know...
* Colephantus chuckles, "Crazy..."
<Ariel> <Sil> *lowers her head*
* Slasher hops forward once again, this time he swings his right hand out for a hook
* Colephantus turns away and heads out.
<Renelle> <Terra> *hugs Sil* I miss them all too..
<Ariel> <Sil> *hesitates... then awkwardly hugs Terra back*
* Chad throws his right hand up and wraps it around Slasher's right hand as it swings
<Colephantus> NRP: No one misses young Xanatos. He was always too friendly. ALways..Hugged people. Shame SHame.
* Colephantus steps past Sil and Terra and then walks out the font door. Walking past anyone in the area and heading for the police quadrant.
<Wind> Well, it seems the manor is getting emptier.
<Ariel> Hmm...
* Slasher swings in his left hand
<Renelle> <Terra> Cole's joining, and... well, I might be able to get Strife to. I don't know who else to ask, though.
* Chad throws his left arm up and wraps around Slasher's left hand, he lifts himself up and plant kicks off Slasher's chest
<Wind> <Katrina> *opens her eyes, looking at the paper. She picks it up, glancing at it*
* Slasher stumbles back from the kick
<Wind> <Aya> *claps
* Slasher smiles
<Ariel> <Sil> .... *nods*
* Slasher turns to Aya
<Wind> <Katrina> Cole...
<Slasher> Why don't you cheer me on?!
<Wind> <Aya> Because you're not cool.
<Renelle> <Terra> If you can think of anyone else to, I'll see what I can do
<Slasher> Agh...*clutches his chest* That hurts...
<Wind> <Aya> *giggles*
* Chad sprints forward as Slasher's talks to Aya and leaps into the air kicking at his side
* Slasher throws his hand up, planting his hand against the oncoming kick, he slides back several inches and throws his hand down to quide the kick that way
* Chad is guided downwards, he plants his foot and spin kicks around
<Wind> GM: *people stop and stare at Cole as he walks, not looking happy*
* Colephantus glances around at the people. But ignore them. He is still a reploid. ANd they are still humans.
* Slasher leans backwards, the kick passed by several inches
* Wind breathes in deeply, closing his eyes.
* Chad begins to leap up into the air, only to have Slasher step on his other foot, causing him to be thrown way out of balance
<Wind> GM: *after a while, Cole reaches the police district*
* Slasher hops backwards and grabs Chad by the back of the shirt, stopping him from hitting the ground
<Chad> Hurk!
* Colephantus glances up at the nearest number looking for Building 48.
<Slasher> NRP: *coughs* 38
<Colephantus> NRP: Yeah my bad.
* Colephantus looks for 38!
<Wind> GM: *Building 38 stands straight ahead - all fixed up and new*
* Slasher tosses Chad backwards
* Chad stumbles backwards but recovers quicker
* Colephantus steps up to the entrance and tries to open the door.
* Chad stands to his feet, breathing heavily
<Wind> GM: *the door opens!*
* Colephantus walks inside looking around.
<Slasher> You're improving.
<Chad> Thanks...
<Wind> GM: *everything looks totally refurnished. And there's noises coming from the kitchen, like someone robbing something*
<Slasher> I'm hungry, how bout you kids?
<Wind> <Aya> I am!
<Renelle> <Terra> Think we should head over?
<Chad> Yeah I'm hungry...
<Ariel> <Sil> *nods slowly* ...if there's nothing you need here first.
<Slasher> Alright kids. We'll head to the manor to get some food...*turns and walks towards a door leading into the manor and opens it, heading in*
* Colephantus releases his Plasma Cannon, holding it forward as he steps into the Kitchen.
<Wind> GM: *A fat man grabbing sandwich fixings turns around and sees Cole. He screams like a girl, dropping them to the floor*
<Colephantus> What the hell are you doing!?
<Wind> <Man> AAAAAAAAH!
<Colephantus> WHo are you?!
<Renelle> <Terra> Well.. I'll go grab my stuff then. I can't find anyone else to recruit right now.
* Chad follows behind
<Wind> <Man> Who are you!?
<Renelle> <Terra> *goes to her room, to gather her belongings*
<Colephantus> I'm a member of the Unit that stays here. Who are you!?
<Wind> <Man> I'm Jerry! The technician!
* Colephantus eyes him. "Why are you eating all the food?"
<Wind> <Jerry> I'm hungry...
<Colephantus> But you have like half of the fridge right there on the ground!
<Wind> <Jerry> It's my special fifty-decker sandwich
* Slasher walks past the library and stops as he catches Kat in the corner of his eye
<Colephantus> .....
<Wind> <Katrina> *is sitting there, Cole's note in her lap, looking out the window*
<Colephantus> Don't eat it all...we'll need some too...
<Ariel> <Sil> *follows Terra*
* Slasher places his hand against the door frame as Aya and Chad stop behind him
<Wind> <Jerry> SO..um...are you the new leader?
<Slasher> Kat?
<Colephantus> Nope. That is Terra's job. You might know her.
<Wind> <Katrina> Yes? Hi, Slasher. *turns to look at Slasher, smiling*
<Wind> <Jerry> Oh, yes. The british girl.
<Colephantus> Yeah. Her and that Dead Girl are the only other members I think. Unless she got more...
* Slasher gives a half-smile. 1We're gonna head down to the kitchen to eat, you should come join us.
<Wind> <Jerry> I wonder if Sil liked the flowers I got her..
<Wind> <Katrina> I'm not hungry right now. I'm just enjoying the view. Thank you, though.
<Colephantus> I dunno. Just...don't eat all the food. I'm going to go find a room.
<Renelle> <Terra> *gathers her stuff* Sil, do you have anything to collect?
<Slasher> You sure Kat?
<Wind> <Katrina> Positive. Talk to you later!
<Wind> GM: *As Cole returns to the main room, he would find Ire's trench coat hanging on the railing*
<Slasher> *sighs rather loudly with rejection* Alright....*slumps forward then trudges onwards towards the kitchen*
* Chad whistles at Kat as he walks away*
<Wind> <Katrina> *waves at Chad*
<Wind> <Aya> *pops Chad*
<Ariel> <Sil> ...not since... that mission.
<Chad> GAH! *rubs his head*
<Renelle> <Terra> *finishes gathering her stuff* ... oh. Okay..
* Colephantus eyes the trenchcoat.
<Colephantus> Didn't Phirax have that one when he died?
* Colephantus just walks past it and upstairs, looking for an empty room.
* Wind leans against the roof edge.
<Renelle> <Terra> You ready to go, then?
<Wind> GM: *all the rooms are empty of possessions*
* Colephantus takes the one closest to the stairs.
* Colephantus walks in and throws down his bag of clothes. Since he doesn't own anythign else.
<Wind> <McCabe> *walks into the kitchen, looking pleased with himself*
* Slasher enters the kitchen and makes his way to the fridge
<Wind> <McCabe> *makes himself an evil sandwich*
<Ariel> <Sil> *nods*
* Slasher looks at McCabe
* Kio[napping] is now known as Kio
<Slasher> So kids, what ya hankering for?
<Renelle> <Terra> *heads out to building 38 then*
* Wind watches Terra and SIl leave the manor.
* Wind looks up as the sun begins to set early
<Wind> Winter ... the time of long nights.
<Chad> Umm....*scratches the back of his head* Got any left-over pizza?
* Slasher rummages through the fridge, finding a box of pizza
* Colephantus steps back out of his room and then walks down to the lobby, taking a seat on the couch and turning on the holo-vid.
<Wind> <Chef> *Runs out and slaps Slasher* No no no no. I make you...Tuna Salad.
<Slasher> GAH! *rubs his face*
<Wind> <Chef> *throws the pizza box away*
* Chad eyes go wide
<Chad> HEY MY SUPPER!
<Wind> <Aya> *stares*
<Wind> GM: *Terra and Sil arrive at Building 38 by the time it's fully dark*
<Wind> <Chef> *begins to make the salad, humming a french tune*
* Chad walks over to the garbage and opens it, he then pulls the pizza box out
<Slasher> You know I hate Tuna Salad.
* Wind looks at the snow covered in moonlight, having stayed on the roof all day.
<Ariel> <Sil> *has been looking up at the sky half the time she's walking*
<Wind> <Katrina> *looks out at the snow in moonlight*
<Ariel> The moonlight is beautiful over the freshly fallen snow, isn't it..?
* Chad opens the box and reaches in for a slice of pizza
<Wind> It is. I feel utterly a peace looking at it. As if - for just a moment - everything is right in the galaxy. Everything is pure. Perfect. Beautiful.
<Renelle> <Terra> A new beginning. A new, peaceful, beginning.
<Wind> <Jerry> *opens the door as Terra and Sil arrive. He wipes his greasy palms on his shirt, then sticks out his hand at Terra* HI GUYS!
<Colephantus> NRP: So what the hell is going on since there is no longer a heaven or hell?
<Wind> NRP: Die and find out.
<Ariel> <Terra's coat> *yawn*
<Renelle> <Terra> 'ello?
<Colephantus> NRP:....
<Wind> <Jerry> It's me! Jerry!
<Chad> NRP: Stay tuned for The Afterlife Wars to find out
<Renelle> NRP: <Jerry> It's-a-me! Jerrio!
<Wind> NRP: LOL
<Slasher> You know you're possbily the slowest chef I've ever met.
<Renelle> <Terra> Guess that's one more member I forgot about
<Wind> <Chef> *turns around with the salad all made*
* Chad begins munching on the pizza
<Ariel> <Sil> ...he's still alive?
<Wind> <Ire's Trench Coat> *hangs on the stairway*
<Wind> <Jerry> Hi, Sil. *blushes*
* Wind looks at Ariel in the moonlight
<Renelle> <Terra> *looks over at the coat*
<Wind> Of course, I only have to look at you to see the same beauty.
<Ariel> <Sil> ...hello.
<Slasher> *grabs the salad and holds it out for Aya to grab*
* Ariel blushes some
* Colephantus waves at them from his reclines position on the couch, watchign the Holo-Vid.
<Wind> <Aya> *grabs it*
* Slasher reaches into the fridge and pulls out a box of leftover ham and begins munching on it
* Wind walks over to Ariel, just about to lean over and kiss her when a giant mech busts down the front gate and runs into the manor. He sighs
<Colephantus> NRP: Reclined
<Wind> <Jerry> *flops on the couch*
<Slasher> So McCabe...
* Colephantus glances at Jerry. "You should go wash your hands. You have grease all over them..."
<Wind> <McCabe> *eats the evil sandwich* Yes?
<Wind> <Jerry> It's too far to walk.
<Colephantus> ......
<Colephantus> Just...don't touch me.
<Slasher> What made you decide to put the brit in lead?
<Renelle> <Terra> ...
<Ariel> This really isn't the right place for a moment... even up here.
<Wind> <McCabe> She was the longest running person on the team that hadn't died or turned to gel.
<Wind> No...no it isn't.
* Chad finishes the piece and grabs a new one, munching on it
<Colephantus> Well. all the rooms are empty. You guys help yourself. I placed my clothes in the first on on the left after you walk up the stairs.
<Wind> NRP: LOL. He took Ire's room
<Slasher> That's the only reason?
<Renelle> <Terra> ... wait, isn't that...?
<Wind> <McCabe> *looks at Slasher, taking a bite out of his sandwich* Yes.
<Renelle> <Terra> ... of all the rooms you could have gone for..
<Ariel> <Sil> ...I believe you hijacked the captain's room.
<Renelle> <Terra> Yeah, he did.
<Slasher> Any particular reason you decided to open the ghost busters?
<Colephantus> I did?
<Colephantus> Well just throw my stuff into another room.
<Colephantus> I"ll find it.
<Colephantus> Its just a bag of clothes. Not much.
<Wind> <McCabe> Political reasons, Slasher. You know me. *takes another bite* So, have you found a place to live at, yet?
<Slasher> I've spotted a nice piece of reality near a lake front.
<Wind> <McCabe> Good. I'll help you get the place by whatever means I can.
<Slasher> I figured it'd be more of a get-away place. I kinda like it here.
* Chad watches the two talk, finishing up a the last piece of pizza, he then re-dumps the box into the garbage
* Colephantus glances at the two standing there. "Or I'll move it myself....."
* Colephantus gets up and goes to move his stuff into the next room.
<Slasher> So what do you plan on doing about the recent re-appearance of Reploid segragation?
<Wind> <McCabe> Right now? Nothing. I'm having my people compile what they think of having Reploids back on Earth right now to see what the general consensus is
<Wind> NRP: what everyone thinks
* Slasher crosses his arms, not showing any signs of approval
<Wind> <McCabe> *doesn't seem to care. He finishes his sandwich, wiping his hands with a towel*
<Ariel> <Sil> *claims the room next to Terra's while Cole goes to do so, assuming she's second in command*
* Colephantus steps past Sil, not really caring where he sleeps.
<Renelle> <Terra> *puts her things in her room*
<Renelle> <Terra> *blinks a little*
<Slasher> So you're just going to sit back and not do anything till it's too late?
* Slasher reaches into the fridge and grabs a beer
<Wind> <McCabe> You introduced Reploids back into the populus despite knowing that the people of Earth were hostile towards them.
<Slasher> I don't believe I had the right to stop them from wanting to return home.
<Renelle> <Terra> ... Strife?
<Colephantus> NRP: Isn't Pope still around here somewhere?
<Wind> NRP: No
<Colephantus> NRP: X1 lose it for not RPing?
<Slasher> NRP: what do you think I used to make your new reploid body?
<Wind> <McCabe> I'm doing what's best for the people of Earth. Whatever their decision may be.
<Colephantus> NRP: Umm Pope wasn't a reploid.
<Slasher> That tends to be the path you always follow.
<Slasher> NRP: So?
<Wind> <McCabe> Yes. *he walks out of the room*
<Colephantus> NRP: Ick.
* Slasher watches him go
* Colephantus whistles idley as he steps back out of the room and walks back downstairs.
<Ariel> <Coat> *melts away*
<Colephantus> So boring around here...*eyes the melting coat*
<Ariel> <Sil> *heads to the kitchen and makes some tea*
<Colephantus> That was almost intertaining.
<Wind> Narrator: They say the path to hell is paved with good intentions. Slasher made the right choice all those months ago, but sometimes, doing what's right isn't always the best choice. Sometimes, things have to be settled with blood.
* Colephantus whistles once more, walking down the steps.
<Renelle> <Terra> Well.. that saves me having to look for you, at least.
<Renelle> <Terra> *looks a little embarrassed*
<Colephantus> So Sil...*he states as he steps into the Kitchen* Hows being back on your own two feet holding up for you?
<Ariel> <Sil> ...these aren't my feet.
* Slasher looks at the kids
<Colephantus> Well you know what I mean....*sighs*
<Slasher> I've got a bad feeling...
<Colephantus> I ment not being in that Jar.
<Ariel> <Sil> ...I... do not recall much from that period.
<Colephantus> Alright. I'll hush about it. *reaches into the fridge and pulls out a bottle of Vodka* Mmmm I haven't had some of this for a long time.
* Colephantus pours some into a small glass and eyes it before taking a small sip.
<Colephantus> So tasty.
<Wind> Narrator: And what was about to happen would make all the previous Maverick Wars that came before pale in comparison. By the time this was over...no side would be innocent anymore. No side could claim to be right. In the end ... everyone would be changed. There would be no heroes - only soldiers fighting for their own people. And the death of innocence.
