<DeathStar> Sessin 256: March 31st, 2224
<DeathStar> Location: A Car Entering Mega City
<DeathStar> GM: *after driving the 50 mile distance from Vesperton to Mega City, Colephantus has finally arrived back at the city*
* Colephantus reaches over and slides his sun glasses on, and places his cap on as well, he drives for the gun shop over on fourth avenue.
* Foraji-Sleep is now known as Foraji
<DeathStar> GM: *Mega City seems quiet, as if people are staying indoors*
* Colephantus continues driving, but wonders how come the "Death Squads" Aren't out or about.
<DeathStar> GM: *a dog barks at Cole's car*
* Colephantus glances at it. "Stupid mutt...." He pulls the car into an alley and then steps out of it. Since he is on fourth street, the shop should be just down the block.
* Colephantus pulls his hair back into a ponytail and begins to walk down the street.
<DeathStar> GM: *the dog runs after Cole, barking*
* Colephantus turns around to watch as the dog comes for him. He doesn't make any movements and waits for the dog to jump for him, if he does, he will attempt to punch it away from him.
<DeathStar> GM: *the dog stops a few feet away, barking as it sits there*
<Colephantus> .....
<Colephantus> What do you want dog? .oO( Why am I talking to a dog?)
<DeathStar> <Dog> *barks again and runs off*
* Colephantus arches a brow..
* Colephantus shrugs and turns heading back down the street, looking around to see if any Death Squads are about.
* Ari has joined #taw
<DeathStar> GM: *the streets are empty - no people are even moving around*
* Ari is now known as Ariel
<Colephantus> This is a very shitty day. Like every day in this damned war.
<DeathStar> GM: *the sun moves across the sky slowly as time passes on Cole*
* Colephantus looks around for the shop, he knows it was around here somewhere....
<DeathStar> GM: *the weapon shop that Cole somehow knew about is right where he said it was, since he said it*
<Colephantus> Holy Crap I was right. I was just guessing. *laughs out loud and steps inside the shop*
<DeathStar> GM: *the owner of the shop stands behind the counter, eyeing Cole over his gun magazine*
* Colephantus still has his digs on, since the owner is probably human.
<Colephantus> Hello there. Are guns the only things you carry?
<DeathStar> <Owner> *narrows his eyes, chewing on something. He's watching Cole suspiciously, then gestures at the rack of plasma handguns and rifles, and some basic swords*
<Ariel> NRP: Don't forget the crossbows!
<DeathStar> NRP: Right!
<DeathStar> NRP: Wait, is this Buffy...?
<Ariel> NRP: Not last I checked. We'd need bazookas then.
<Colephantus> Do you carry any binoculars or anything of that deal?
<Colephantus> Like Reconish weapons.
<DeathStar> <Owner> Sure. *chews some more*
<Colephantus> Where would they be located?
<DeathStar> <Owner> Behind the counter. *chews some more, nodding down at the glass counter with all sorts of accessories*
* Colephantus glances down, scannign through all of the accessories.
<Colephantus> Do you allow people to have charge accounts?
* Colephantus glances up at the man.
<DeathStar> <Owner> Nope. *keeps chewing, watching Cole fully now*
* Colephantus sighs. "Well that really bites. I think I discovered the location of some of them reploids that the army has been hunting lately. I was just wanting to make for sure. Hence the Bino's here."
<DeathStar> <Owner> *says nothing, just staring at Cole*
<Colephantus> I guess I can't convince you then...that stinks...It would be pretty cool to get some recognition from the Army that your weapons are top notch....
* Colephantus slides over to the door. Still, looking for at his wares all around.
<DeathStar> <Owner> *keeps chewing on his gum*
<Colephantus> Thats really rude ya know....*holding up a sword to observe it*
<Dias> NRP: <Owner> HAH! I knew you were a Reploid. Only reploids bitch like that!
<DeathStar> <Owner> Right. *keeps watching Cole, eyeing his sunglasses*
* Colephantus places the sword back and strolls over to some decent powered blaster pistols, he picks up one and observes it.
<Colephantus> So what is the going rate on one of these?
<DeathStar> <Owner> *points at the price tag on the weapon*
* Colephantus reads it. "Thats pretty pricey. Your charging almost double for this...Hmm guess I'll go then..." He steps over to the door and opens it.
* Colephantus glances down and notices the gun still in his hand.
<Colephantus> Oh sorry about that.
<DeathStar> <Owner> ...
* Colephantus slides over to the counter and places the gun on it.
* Colephantus then turns and steps outside.
<Colephantus> .oO(I'm gonna have to think of someway to distract him.
* Colephantus begins walking down the street, turnign into the alley beside the shop.
<DeathStar> GM: *it's a dark, dank alley*
* Colephantus eyes around the alley, looking for a side entrance to the shop.
<DeathStar> GM: *there is indeed an entrance for vehicles to deliver stuff*
* Colephantus pulls on it lightly, to test and see if it is locked, like he thinks it should be.
<DeathStar> GM: *the door is locked*
* Colephantus attempts to pull it open by whatever force necessary.
<DeathStar> GM: *the door rips open easily and an alarm goes off
<Colephantus> Man I'm a moron....
* Colephantus steps backk and jumps up onto the fire escape beside the door.
* Colephantus climbs it to the top of the roof and then looks down over into the streets.
<DeathStar> GM: *the alarm rings out loud. In the distance, where the police area is at, sirens can be heard*
* Colephantus hops over the edge and steps back inside shop.
<DeathStar> GM: *the shop looks empty, but a door to the back is open. And standing there is the owner. He hears someone entering his shop and spins, aiming a shotgun into the lobby* S-Stop!
<Colephantus> NRP: Is he in another room? Or just in another doorway?
<DeathStar> NRP: Doorway to the other room.
* Colephantus reaches instinctively to his left and pulls up a sword, lobbing it at the man, but throws it as to intend for the hilt to hit the man in the forhead. He would dive after ward to avoid beign shot.
<DeathStar> <Owner> *the man is hit and curses angrily, as if confused by such a manuever. He shakes his head, looking for Cole now*
<Colephantus> NRP: Lol.
* Colephantus is hiding beside a display, keeping his breathing almost silent, he is waiting for the owner to get near him.
<DeathStar> <Owner> *looks around, fearful and with a big bump on his forehead. He refuses to inch out*
* Colephantus slides his hand to the counter and pulls down a pistol he checks to see if it has been charged.
<DeathStar> GM: *outside the shop, two police cars screech to a stop. Several officers get out of their cars with guns in hand*
<DeathStar> GM: *it's been charged*
* Colephantus lowers the setting to stun and slides up shooting at the man.
<DeathStar> NRP: Since when does plasma guns have stun?
<Colephantus> NRP: I was thinking of star trek....
<Colephantus> NRP: Ok stratch that.
<DeathStar> NRP: ... riight
<Ariel> NRP: Phase != Plasma
<Ariel> NRP: Phaser even =P
<DeathStar> NRP: Laser!
* Colephantus slides his hand over to a sword and pulls it down as well.
<Ariel> NRP: Lasers don't stun either, though on low power, they can avoid doing lethal damage
<DeathStar> GM: *cops enter the store and aim at Cole*
<DeathStar> <Cop> FREEZE!
* Colephantus looks bumfuzzled.
<Colephantus> NRP: Heh I just wanted to say that.
<DeathStar> <Owner> He's a reploid! I'm sure of it!
<DeathStar> <Cops> *immediately just open fire on Cole*
* Colephantus dives over another display and pulls down a blaster rifle with him.
<Ariel> NRP: Now he's thinking starwars
<Colephantus> NRP: D'Oh!
<Colephantus> NRP: PLasma then.
<DeathStar> GM: *the cops reaim and fire at Cole*
* Chris|KOTOR2|Sleep has joined #taw
* Colephantus has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
* Chris|KOTOR2|Sleep is now known as Colephantus
<Colephantus> NRP: Plasma Rifle...not blaster...
* Colephantus runs and dives behind the accessories stand, pulling down some binocs and putting them around his neck.
<DeathStar> GM: *the cops shots tear through the accessories stand*
* Colephantus now thinks he has everything and pockets the pistol, he breaks into a run for the owner and activates his electric shield, trying to plow through the man.
<DeathStar> <Owner> *slams into a wall in pain, electric pulses running down his body as he collapses*
* Colephantus heads out into the alley and jumps up onto the fire escape, heading toward the roof, he takes off running, hopping to the next building, trying to put some distance between himself and the cops.
<DeathStar> GM: *the cops radio for back up as they run out into their cars, driving down the street, parrell to Cole*
* Colephantus turns to the right and begins to run away from the cops. Hopping to the next building.
<DeathStar> GM: *a shuttle comes flying in across the city, turning to fly behind Cole*
* Colephantus glances up at the shuttle to see how much distance it is above the ground.
<DeathStar> GM: *it's about 30 feet above the roof*
<DeathStar> GM: *Cole reaches a dead end on the roofs - it's just wide open roads now until the next building*
* Colephantus slides to a halt and then turns back the way he came, runnign under the shuttle, he is looking for an old warehouse to. "Hide"
<DeathStar> GM: *this part of town doesn't seem to have warehouses about - it's the shopping district*
<DeathStar> GM: *the shuttle, before Cole can get under it, opens fire*
* Colephantus strafes to the left, letting the bullets tear past his right side. He jumps down into the next, alley, looking for a manhole cover.
<DeathStar> GM: *there seems to be one closer to the street itself*
* Colephantus slides over to it opens it up, jumping down inside.
<DeathStar> GM: *the sewers offer relief from the cops, but not the smell*
* Colephantus places the cover back over it and then begins walking down the sewer. Holding his nose....
<DeathStar> GM: *the sewers are empty right now, except the wonderful sewage*
<Colephantus> God I'm going to need bath after this is all over with.
* Colephantus begins walking to the right, he estimates that Slasher's place is somewhere in this direction.
<DeathStar> GM: *after a long time of navigating the wonderful sewers, and time lost, Cole arrives in what COULD be the location of where Slasher is at*
<DeathStar> GM: *however, there's no way out*
* Colephantus rubs his chin....and looks for some type of drain....
<DeathStar> GM: *There doesn't seem to be any - in fact, after all this walking, he's probably not even in the general area of the city anymore*
<DeathStar> GM: *his only choice would be to go back, continue forward, or make his own exit*
* Colephantus sighs looking around. "Oh screw all this fucking walking...." He pulls up the sword and attempts to cut open a hole to the surface.
<DeathStar> GM: *the sword, not being plasma, just plinks against the brick*
* Colephantus sighs. And tries one more thing.
* Colephantus kneels down and hopes he freaky new strength can help him out, he pressout against his heels with all his might, jumping for the ceiling throwing his fist out.
<DeathStar> GM: *Cole explodes through several feet of brick, other materials, and finally ground. He's out in the surface, a few miles out of the urban area of the city, but not quite to the woods where Slasher's lakeside house is at*
* Colephantus glances around, trying to distinguish where the woods are located.
<Ariel> 6* A small rock bounces off Cole's head.
<DeathStar> GM: *they're about a mile to his west*
<Colephantus> Ouch!
* Colephantus rubs his head looking around.
<Ariel> <Silouette> *sits quietly on a large rock nearby*
<Colephantus> Oi! Haven't seen you in a while...
* Colephantus adjusts himself and looks up at Sil. Whom seems to just be looking at him.
<DeathStar> GM: *little lines fly past both their heads as they stare*
<Colephantus> Uhhhh.
<Colephantus> Hi?
<Ariel> <Silouette> .....you just assaulted a clerk and robbed a store.
<Colephantus> I needed some weapons.
<Colephantus> I didn't kill him.
<Ariel> <Silouette> ......
<Ariel> <Silouette> .....don't become a lawyer. Ever.
<Colephantus> Well I'm going to go see Slasher. Would you like to join me? Or do you spend your time leisurely sitting on rocks.
<Colephantus> Never planned on it...
* Colephantus taps hs head. "To dumb."
<Ariel> <Silouette> ......you know your rights, correct?
<Colephantus> Your here to arrest me?
<Ariel> <Silouette> ......robbery was a crime last I checked.
<Colephantus> So is killing the innocent but the police can do that at their leisure.
<Ariel> <Silouette> .....what flawed logic.
<Colephantus> Not really. Your comrades don't follow their own laws.
<Ariel> <Silouette> ....I suppose you rather throw out all order and degress to mere anarchy. *gets up*
<Colephantus> No. But i'm not going to allow innocents to be slaughtered. So if your going to work for the total genocide of all Reploids. You are my enemy.
<DeathStar> NRP: *Cole dramatically lights up with defender spirit*
<Ariel> <Silouette> ....I guess that means you won't come peacefully.
<Colephantus> Oh of course. I'm going to lay down my hands and allow you to take me into jail whenever the future of reploids rests on my shoulders....Riiiight.
* Colephantus pulls up the sword, eyeing Sil.
<Colephantus> I really don't have time for this...
<Dias> NRP: <Slasher> If it rests on his shoulders...They might as well kill themselves now.
<Colephantus> NRP: I agree. :P
<Ariel> <Silouette> ... *tosses a pair of handcuffs at Cole's feet*
* Colephantus glances at them.
<Ariel> <Silouette> ...figured you atleast deserve the option. *rests her hand at her hip, watching Cole carefully*
* Colephantus slides his foot under them and kicks them up, catching them in his right hand, he pockets them.
<Colephantus> I really don't need this right now/
<Colephantus> Go find somewhere else to be a good cop.
<Ariel> <Silouette> .... you don't get it, do you.
<Colephantus> No. apparently I don't. Enlighten me please.
<Dias> NRP: Do the Reploids a favor and kill him sil!
<Ariel> <Silouette> .... you're under arrest. *steps forward* ...and if you choose to resist arrest, you're coming in under force.
<Colephantus> Listen to me "Sil." You. Can kiss my ass. I don't have time for you. Or anyone else for that matter so fuck off. *he turns away from her and teleports away*
<Ariel> <Silouette> *grapples his arm before he can port, discharging enough electricity to disrupt the teleport matrix*
* Colephantus looks at Sil.
* Colephantus pulls the grapple hook off and throws it to the ground.
<Ariel> <Silouette> .... I gave you ample warning. *darts in forward, going for a electrified punch to the gut*
* Colephantus slides to the left, bringing the hilt of the sword down at Sil's exposed neck.
<Ariel> <Silouette> *moves in under the blow, inside Cole's reach and grabing his swordarm, applying more voltage*
* Colephantus initiates his electic shield, using Sil's shock to amp it and hopefully knock her away.
<Ariel> <Silouette> *discharges Cole's counter off her own ACE unit, and decides just to go with the old fashioned fist to the jaw*
* Colephantus takses the fist and spins around with the momentum throwing one of his own to her nose.
<DeathStar> NRP: Let me catch up on the fight, I had to do something with the parents
<Ariel> NRP: Umm... The only momentum off an upper cut like that is up and back. Not around.
<Colephantus> NRP: You didn't say uppercut...so I took it as a standard hook.
* Colephantus takes the uppercut then, and steps back, throwing in a punch for her nose.
<Ariel> <Silouette> *grabs Cole's arm, directing him past her*
<Colephantus> NRP: As in a throw or just pulling him?
<Ariel> NRP: Somewhere in between... more of an Akido move
<Colephantus> NRP: Well I dunno what Akido is, so explaining would be good. Since i'm not down with all the fighting techniques.
<Ariel> NRP: Guiding the strike off course by increasing it's momentum in a direction that will no longer hit it's intended target
<Colephantus> NRP: Ahh I see. THanks.
* Colephantus stumbles forward and quickly turns back to face Sil. "I'm going to ask you to stop now. I don't want to hurt you."
<Ariel> <Silouette> *has vanished*
* Colephantus clothes his eyes, listening for the slightest twing on noise.
<Colephantus> NRP: closes.
<DeathStar> GM: *a squirrel watches from it's branch*
<Ariel> 6* There's a rustle in the wind of three objects from Cole's right, and them a fourth slightly later moving away from him.
* Colephantus blurs away from the 3 rustles of wind and comes before the fourth rustling away, holding his sword out to Sil's throat if it his her.
<Ariel> <Silouette> *watches from the tree as Cole charges straight into the fourth shuriken, getting a nasty shock*
* Colephantus hisses, but only twitches, his shield has strengthened his aptitude to electric in the recent days. He sticks the sword into the ground and pulls up the Plasma Rifle, firing it at Sil in the trees.
<DeathStar> <Squirrel> Chitter! *dives from the tree*
<DeathStar> GM: *the sun is beginning it's path downward, meaning it's evening now*
<Ariel> <Silouette> *flips into the air, doing a double rotation, and landing on the large rock*
<Colephantus> Look. If I give the stuff back will you leave me alone??
<Ariel> <Silouette> *pauses, considering* ...if you write a letter of appology to the man when you have time, alright.
* Colephantus sighs in relief. "Alright." He places the sword, rifle, pistol and binoculars on the ground. "I'm sorry we can't be allies."
* Colephantus turns and begins to head for Slasher's forest place.
<Ariel> <Silouette> *picks up the stolen merchanidise and goes home*
<Colephantus> NRP: *watches as sil takes the weapons and sells them for boos*
<DeathStar> GM: *after a fierce run, Cole arrives outside a quaint, yet Slasher-type house by a beautiful lake*
* Colephantus hides up in a tree, trying to estimate if there are any guards.
<DeathStar> GM: *10 armed guards total - surrounding all exits of the house*
* Colephantus eyes the Lake. Then tries to see which door has the least number of guards.
<DeathStar> GM: *there seems to be only 2 at the front entrance*
* Colephantus looks around the house see if their is a chimney or something of that nature.
<Colephantus> NRP: There.
<Dias> MiniGM: *a Chimney rests at the back of the house, but smoke billows out*
* Colephantus rubs his chin from his perch, looking around for an elevated window or a balcony of some sort.
<DeathStar> GM: *suddenly, a shovel flies out and hits the guards*
* Colephantus arches a brow.
<DeathStar> GM: *the guards fall over, KOed. Then more reploids leap otu and knock out other humans*
<Colephantus> ....Oh no.
<DeathStar> GM: *some of the reploids rush into the house*
* Colephantus jumps down running for the door to go inside, he can't let DS' reploids get Slasher.
<DeathStar> GM: *a shovel flies at Cole's face as soon as he gets inside*
* Colephantus gets clunked in the face and hits the ground, sliding from the momentum of his run, he jumps back up raising his fists to fight,.
* DeathStar is now known as Gravedigger
* Gravedigger stands over cole
<Gravedigger> HOlee...Cole? I heard you were dead
* Colephantus rubs his face.
<Colephantus> I thought I was too.
* Colephantus glances around. "Is Slasher ok?"
* Gravedigger turns to look out at some reploids dragging two people in.
* Gravedigger nods
<Gravedigger> Yeah. We're here, to um, kidnap him.
<Colephantus> Kidnap? Does he know about his?
* Gravedigger puts a hand over Cole's mouth
* Colephantus looks to see if he reckognizes the two people.
<Gravedigger> I'm sure he's well informed about him being kidnapped. *turns to Slasher and Cheryl*
* Dias is now known as Slasher
<Colephantus> Alright I'll shut up now.
<Gravedigger> Um, you're kidnapped now. Come along. *waves the reploids outside*
<Slasher> 'bout friggin time...
<Gravedigger> Now now. You shouldn't talk back to your captors.
* Gravedigger steps outside to where a hidden shuttle is located.
* Colephantus steps outside and eyes the Lake. Then sniffs himself.
<Colephantus> I need a bath...
<Gravedigger> I use to smell like you.
<Slasher> When they find out you kidnapped be...oh boy are you in trouble!! *walks out after them, Cheryl in tow*
* Colephantus slides over to the shuttle and waits for everyone to get in.
* Gravedigger gets onto the shuttle, taking the co-pilot seat.
* Slasher helps Cheryl into the shuttle, then hops in behind her
<Gravedigger> The boss says he'll be along shortly.
<Gravedigger> GM: *the shuttle ramp closes and the shuttle takes off, flying away*
* Colephantus got into the shuttle before that hehe.
<Gravedigger> Session Ends
