<Spirit> NRP: Wrong Spirit. XP
<DeathStar> GM: *it's around mid-afternoon, currently. The sky is overcast*

<Dahok> Did you find anything out at the party?
<Icebrand> Right. What's your password?
<Dahok> Uhh....I think it was Anerhism
* Icebrand taps in Dahok's information - correct - and brings up his schedule
<Dahok> What's it say?
<Icebrand> You're done too.
<Dahok> Score...I was getting sick of it...
* Icebrand gets up and heads into the hallway again, heading outside
* Dahok follows right behind him
<Dahok> So did you find anything out at the party?
<Icebrand> Yeah. That I can't handle alcohol as well as I used to.
<Vile> ("Drunken bitches = sex assured.")
<Dahok> Last thing I remembered was finishing off that keg and then everything went black
<Icebrand> *shrugs* The last thing I remember was beating Jerry's ass in Connect Four. If I did learn anything, I've forgotten it.
<DeathStar> GM: *there seems to be some commotion near one of the science buildings. An ambulance is present and a crowd has formed*
<Dahok> So were back to square one...*looks at over at the commotion*
<Dahok> Wonder what happened there...
* Icebrand just raises an eyebrow before jogging over to find out
* Dahok looks at Icebrand jog ahead of him and follows suit
<DeathStar> GM: *a girl is seen being piled onto a stretcher, then she is carried into the ambulance*
<Icebrand> *to random person* What happened?
<DeathStar> Random Person: Huh? Oh, we all heard a scream and came over. She had this zombie look on her face.
* Dahok walks over to the ambulance and grabs an EM
<Dahok> What happeneD?
<Icebrand> .oO{The latest victim...} *watches Dahok, then facepalms*
<DeathStar> EM: Look, kid, we're busy. *shrugs Dahok off, climbs into the ambulance. Sounding the siren, the ambulance drives away*
<Icebrand> .oO{So much for subtlely.}

* Icebrand looks around for someone that might be out of place
* Icebrand blinks as he notices Dr. Chris Carter standing off to the side
* Dahok turns and makes his way into the science building
<Icebrand> .oO{What's HE doing here...?}
<DeathStar> GM: *the science building is pretty deserted right now. No classes.*
<Vile> NRP: A doctor...infront of the science building? How fishy.
* Dahok looks around for any plants
<Icebrand> NRP: It's a college. If they're not a doctor, they're on their way to becoming one. :P
<DeathStar> Carter: *glances over IB, his eyes glowing purple for a brief instant, before he pushes his shades up. He turns, walking off*
<DeathStar> GM: *A couple of plants. And dead animals.*
<Icebrand> ...
* Dahok walks over to a plant and kneels down next to it
*** X1-Work is now known as X1
* Icebrand tails Diamondback, keeping a good distance back
<DeathStar> Plant: ...
<DeathStar> Carter: *takes a round about way back towards his office, heading into empty areas of the campus*
* Dahok stands up and walks back outside
<DeathStar> GM: *it's empty outside the science building now.*
<Icebrand> .oO{Ok, he knows I'm following him...}
* Dahok looks around for any bushs's or trees
<DeathStar> GM: *there is a tree and lots of...grass.*
<Icebrand> NRP: *dies*
<Dahok> NRP: *shudders at the grass*
* Dahok walks over to the tree and places his palm against it's trunk
<DeathStar> Carter: *Steps into the building housing his office*
<Vile> NRP: AAH! Jimmy Carter!
<Icebrand> .oO{...Ok, why did he try to lose me if we just came back here?} *waits outside just long enough to give the impression that he stopped following, then heads in*
<DeathStar> GM: *the hallway is empty*
<Dahok> ....*pulls his hand back, recoiling from the tree's thoughts*
* Icebrand heads for a stairwell, towards Dr. Carter's second floor office
<DeathStar> GM: <....> *a brief, brief ... in IB's thoughts, then nothing.*
<Icebrand> *hesitates* .oO{Creepy... what am I getting myself into...?}
*** Donte has quit IRC (Ping timeout)
<DeathStar> GM: *The second floor is empty. Carter's office is closed and locked, still. It doesn't look like anyone ever came here*
<Icebrand> Nuts. Lost him...
<Dahok> ....No where too...
<Dahok> *looks around* Where's Icebrand?
<DeathStar> Girl: *streaks past Dahok*
* Icebrand heads back downstairs
* Dahok spots the girl
<Dahok> ....Thata way!! *runs after the girl*
* Icebrand walks outside
<DeathStar> GM: *the girl streaks in past IB. Sadly, that puts Dahok on a collision course with IB*
* Dahok runs around the corner and slams right into IB
<Icebrand> Hey, what the...? OOF!
* Dahok falls ontop of IB
<Icebrand> ...Get off! Dammit, is the word subtle even in your vocabulary!?
* Dahok push's himself up and off of Icebrand
<Dahok> What do you mean?!
<Dahok> And where the hell did you go?
<Icebrand> Tch, never mind. *gets up and dusts himself off, trying to sense DB's presence* Follow that girl.
<Icebrand> Following a lead.
<Dahok> What was the lead?
<Icebrand> Dr. Carter was near the scene of the "accident." And he may be near here...
<Dahok> So you were following him? You decided that following a psychic was subtle? He probably knew you were behind him.
<Icebrand> *to Dahok* <He's a powerful psion... I have a hunch he may be responsible for this...>
* Caladia is away -( Trying to get directions for a PB tourney. blargh )- at 07:07p -( P:On / L:On )-
<Icebrand> Of course he knew.
*** Caladia is now known as Cally-Directions
<Dahok> I checked with a tree and it showed me images of the girl, then a shadow, a purple glow, and then a huge wave of psionics that blocked the rest of what happened.
<Vile> NRP: "A tree?" "A reliable source, I assure you."
<Dahok> NRP: More useful that you ever were!
<Icebrand> ...Well, we know a psion is behind it, at least. I wish I'd trained more, this wouldn't be a problem...
<Vile> NRP: I should hope so - I'm usually trying to kill you!
<DeathStar> GM: *a scream cuts through the air*
<Icebrand> Tch, not again.
<Dahok> What was...*spins around trying to pin point the direction of the scream*
<DeathStar> GM: *it came from the other side of the building.*
* Icebrand takes off in that direction
* Dahok quickly sprints off towards that direction
<DeathStar> GM: *just on the back steps of the building was the streaking girl. Her eyes have this blank look and some drool runs out of the corner of the mouth. Other than that, she's attractive, her long blonde hair about shoulder length, perfect cup size, and -- well, you get the idea. Shame she looks like no one is home now*
<Dahok> ....*quickly pulls off his sweatshirt and begins to put it on the girl*
<Icebrand> And THIS is what happens when we start arguing... *looks around quickly*
<Dahok> This isn't good..
<DeathStar> GM: *some kids walk up and see Dahok putting on the sweatshirt. sadly, they see this as taking the sweat shirt OFF.*
<Dahok> NRP: I knew it!
<DeathStar> Male Kid: Oh my God...! *his female counterpart screams*
<Dahok> Icebrand, quickly call the ambulance..
<DeathStar> Male Kid: You sick fucks. *pulls back and punches at Dahok's face*
<Icebrand> Hey, wait a second! *fishes for his cell phone* This is NOT what it looks like!
* Dahok is caught off guard and is sent sliding across the grass
* Icebrand grabs it and flips it open, quickly dialing 911
<DeathStar> Male Kid: *is a huge, bulking 6'4", 300 pounds -- most of it muscle, brute. Probably a football player. He walks over and picks up Dahok easily*
* Dahok regains his senses
<Dahok> Back off!
<Vile> NRP: *The police arrive and arrest Dahok for attempted rape. Icebrand shrugs.
<Icebrand> ...Give me a break... come on, answer!
* Dahok is picked up easily
<DeathStar> 911: Hello? How may I help you?
<DeathStar> Brute: Argh! *slams Dahok's back down against his knee*
<Icebrand> *plays ignorant* Yeah! I need an ambulance! There's a girl here, and she... looks like her mind's been destroyed, or something! She's just kind of... staring...!
* Dahok puts his hands down against the Brute's knee in an attempt to either stop his face from hitting it or to slow it down
<DeathStar> 911: Where are you, sir?
<X1> NRP: "I've fallen and can't get up!"
<Icebrand> I'm behind the Stryfe psychology building at VSU!
<DeathStar> GM: *Dahok succeeds in slowing the blow down*
<DeathStar> 911: We'll have some units there in a moment.
<Icebrand> Thanks! *flips the phone closed*
* Icebrand looks back up at the ensuing chaos
<Dahok> You've got the wrong picture...*continues to hold his hands against the knee
<Icebrand> Hey, hold on a second there, big guy!
<Dahok> NRP: idea...whatever
<DeathStar> Brute: Oh, I'm sure I do!
<DeathStar> Girlfriend: *is trying to help the other girl up*
<Vile> Nrp: What Dahok doesnt know is that this campus is being used for the latest College Girls Gone Wild video.*
<Icebrand> ...Are you ladies ok?
<DeathStar> Brute: *tries to smash Dahok's head against the tree*
<DeathStar> Girlfriend: What did you guys do to her?!
<Icebrand> We did nothing to her, I swear! We heard her scream, and we came over as fast as we could to help out. She was like that when we got here...
<Dahok> That's it....*grabs onto the Brute's hand and use's it help swing his legs up and against the tree
<Icebrand> ...An ambulance is on the way. Could you help me call of your boyfriend before we have two victims?
<Icebrand> NRP: off
<DeathStar> Brute: Grrr.
<DeathStar> Branch: *breaks off from the tree and nails Dahok upside the head*
<Dahok> OWWW!!!
* Icebrand winces
<DeathStar> Girlfriend: Okay... *tries to calm the guy down*
<DeathStar> GM: *sirens are heard off in the distance*
* Dahok shakes his head and uses position to shove himself off the tree and push the Brute backwards
<DeathStar> Brute: *falls on his back. At that exact moment, the tree sorta ... falls over and lands on Dahok*
<Icebrand> Dahok, chill out! You too, big guy, give us a chance to explain what's going on.
<Dahok> Ahhh son of a....*is pinned under the tree*
<Icebrand> NRP: D'oh.
<Vile> NRP: Obviously the tree is rather pissed off, what with being pumped for information before and all.
* Icebrand jogs over to the tree and attempts to lift it off of Dahok
<DeathStar> GM: *IB succeeds*
<Icebrand> Christ, what a day... *throws it aside*
<DeathStar> GM: *two cops come running around the side of the building, guns ready*
* Dahok rolls out from under the tree
<Dahok> Thanks Icebrand
<DeathStar> Officer 1: What happened here?
<Icebrand> ...Everything is under control, officers. Is the ambulance almost here? This girl needs medical attention, NOW.
<DeathStar> Officer 2: *talks into his radio. A few moments later, two EMs come walking in and place the girl on the stretcher*
<DeathStar> Officer 1: Alright, I want answers, now, or I'll turn you all in
<DeathStar> Brute: These two guys tried to rape this girl.
* Icebrand shrugs
<Icebrand> Me and my friend here heard a scream.
<DeathStar> Officer 1: A scream, eh?
<DeathStar> Brute: Psst. You were taking off her sweater.
<Icebrand> We came around to find her like this. My friend here tried to cover her up, and big guy here thought we were trying to rape her.
<Dahok> That's my sweater you dumbass....
* Dahok rubs his head
<DeathStar> Officers: *exchange "a look"*
<DeathStar> Officers: Alright, you two, you're coming in with us. *grab Dahok and IB*
<Icebrand> ...Hey! I'm sure there's a security camera around here somewhere!
<Dahok> Hey backoff!
<Dahok> We heard a scream, she as lieing there naked, so I took my sweatshirt off and started to put it on her.
<DeathStar> Officers: We'll get it all sorted out. At the station. Now, are you coming along quietly or do we handcuff you?
<Dahok> .....
<Dahok> Bring that Brute with too...he assaulted me!
<Icebrand> ...Fine, whatever. *sighs* But you're making a big mistake...
<DeathStar> Officer 2: ... eeesh.
<Vile> NRP: He grabbed me and the next thing I knew, we were rolling around together! <Cop> Ah..so it was a jealousy thing, eh?")
<DeathStar> GM: *pause*
<DeathStar> Time Chart: Tuesday, June 19th, 2222. Early morning
<DeathStar> GM: *Dahok and IB finally arrive back at their dorms after a night in jail. Of course, it all came out who they were. The cops promised not to tell*
<DeathStar> GM: *Ire, of course, was not pleased upon hearing it*
<Dahok> How many victims does that make it now Ice?
<Icebrand> Counting the two yesterday, the total is at nine...
* Dahok pulls out a map of the campus
<Icebrand> *yawns* I'm nearly convinced that Dr. Carter is behind this now.
<Dahok> Ok...we've had one here...*marks it's location off* and another here. *marks that one off too*
* Icebrand leans against the wall and fishes the copy of his jotted down schedule out of his pocket
<Vile> NRP: "Wait..I can see a pattern, here." "...You just drew a bird."
* Dahok finishs's marking off all the locations and hands it to Ice
<Icebrand> ...I see a pattern here.
<Icebrand> ...Oh, wait, never mind. *yawns* Too damn early...
*** Vile has quit IRC (Quit: STATE OF THE UNION DRINKING GAME: 1 drink every time Bush makes up a word, two for every time he reveals his Texas accent, and three for every time he says "Let's Roll".)
<Dahok> There's a C there you numbnuts...
<Dahok> NRP: BRB
<Icebrand> No relevance, anyway. Ire signed up our classes for us, anyway.
* Dahok shrugs
<Icebrand> Wait... crap... *yawns* This is why I always sleep in.
<Dahok> Do you have Carter for a teacher in any class's?
* Icebrand reads his schedule for the day
<DeathStar> GM: *Ayn's roommate exits and glares at the two. She then leaves*
<Icebrand> ...Sure do. Today, at noon. My first class of the day, Study of the Enhanced II. *glances at his watch*
<Dahok> ....*looks at the girl* What's her problem>
*** X1 is now known as X1-Gone
<DeathStar> Adam: *comes running up*
<Icebrand> ...I'd be afraid to ask.
<DeathStar> Adam: I just heard you guys were arrested last night!
<Icebrand> ...Long story, Adam.
<DeathStar> Adam: Is it true you guys raped a girl?
<Dahok> ....*punches Adam in the face*
<Dahok> That's the 3rd person to ask us that...
<Icebrand> Gossip still spreads as fast as it used to. No, we didn't. *catches Dahok's fist*
<DeathStar> Adam: *looks at the fist in awe, then glares* What's the big idea?
<Icebrand> Hey, down, boy. Both of you.
<DeathStar> Adam: *hands IB a note* This came in for you last night.
<Icebrand> *to Dahok* <Do you want to get arrested AGAIN?>
<Dahok> ......*looks at Icebrand*
* Icebrand lets go of Dahok's hand and flips open the note, and reads it
<Icebrand> NRP: I should watch my comma placement. Sheesh.
<Icebrand> ...Do you know who left this?
<DeathStar> Adam: No clue. Sorry.
<Icebrand> ...Dammit, why do the ladies always leave anonymous notes? *snickers*
<Dahok> What's it say?
* Icebrand shoves it in his pocket
<DeathStar> Adam: Hey, I know how it is. By the way, have you seen Setsuna?
<Icebrand> Nothing important. And no, I haven't, actually...
<DeathStar> Adam: Aw. I really wanted to talk with her. Oh well. Maybe I can find her at the food court. *runs off*
<Dahok> ....
<Icebrand> If you see her, tell her I'm looking for her!
<Icebrand> ...Somebody's onto us.
<Dahok> How do you know this?
<Icebrand> The note.
* Icebrand takes it out of his pocket and hands it to Dahok
* Dahok grabs it and opens it up, reading it
<Dahok> ....I want to have your baby? *looks up at Ice*
<Dahok> What kind of joke is this.
<Icebrand> ...Er, wrong note. *snatches it back and gives him the correct one*
<Dahok> ....
* Dahok opens the new one up and reads it
<Dahok> It's blank...
<Icebrand> ...*fishes out the slips of paper in his pockets and reads them*
<Dahok> ....*drops his head*
* Icebrand takes the slip back from Dahok and reads it
<Icebrand> ...Don't bullshit me right now, Dahok.
<Dahok> What?!
<Dahok> There's nothing on it!
<Icebrand> It's written here, plain as day!
<Dahok> Go ahead and check my mind...
<Dahok> I'm not lieing!
* Icebrand turns the note around and motions under the text with his finger
<Icebrand> ...You can't see this.
<Dahok> All I see is a big splot of white
<Icebrand> ...Somebody's definitely trying to scare us.
<Icebrand> I guess only psions can read it, or something... I wonder how he did that.
<DeathStar> GM: *it's nearing noon*
<Icebrand> ...I'd better go to class.
<Dahok> That still doesn't tell me what it says!
<Icebrand> *to Dahok* <It says "I know why you and your friends are here.">
<Dahok> ....Let's see....Psionic only....Think it's Carter?
<Icebrand> I'm almost positive.
<Dahok> Shit...Gotta get to Art Class...
<Dahok> Where you wanna meet after class?
<Icebrand> Just meet at the university center. I'll head over to get food after class.
<Dahok> .....Alright..*turns and skidaddles*
* Icebrand heads for the Stryfe building (ironically)
<DeathStar> GM: *Dahok's class is filling up already with the artsy fartsies. They are setting up their canvases*
<DeathStar> GM: *Carter is already writing things on the board as his class fills up*
* Icebrand walks in and glances at Carter briefly before taking his seat
* Dahok strides into the classroom and takes a seat in the back
<DeathStar> Art Teacher: Welcome, class. Today we will be drawing a nude model.
<Dahok> ....*eye's perk up*
<DeathStar> Carter: *dusts his hands and turns to look at the class* <Welcome class. Another summer day wasted on learning. Open your books to page 145.>
<DeathStar> GM: *Ayn walks in wearing a robe. She takes a seat, removing the robe. She's totally nude*
<Dahok> Ooooh....*grabs a canvas* SCORE!
<DeathStar> Art Teacher: You have 1 hour to draw her. Get busy.
<Icebrand> .oO{Good to know his opinion of summer classes hasn't changed.} *flips open his book*
* Dahok pulls out a pencil and begins drawing
<DeathStar> Carter: <One thing to know about the Enhanced is that it is hard to keep secrets from each other for very long.> *passes a few desks.* <It's hard to fake something for very long, either.>
<DeathStar> Ayn: *looks at Dahok...frowning*
* Icebrand ignores the obvious slam and fishes a pen from his bookbag, and opens his notebook
* Dahok pops out from behind his canvas and gives Ayn a big thumbs up
<DeathStar> Carter: <Today, I'm going to give a little history lesson before the lecture. Psionic energy...for countless centuries, people have claimed to have the ability to read minds and what not. However, no proof of such a thing ever appeared...until the last hundred years or so. Why the sudden boom? What caused it. Any theories?>
<DeathStar> Ayn: ...
<Dahok> Mr. Batchelor. I'm having problems drawing this position...it's so...so...casual..
<Dahok> Could you have her...strike a more...exotic pose?
<DeathStar> Batchelor: *Studies Ayn* What do you suggest, Dahok? More of a spread legs position, with her hands on her head?
* Icebrand does his usual sit-and-let-someone-else-answer position while appearing to take notes
<Dahok> I don't know...She seems more like a....on her hands and knees with her postierer hiked into the air kinda girl.
<DeathStar> Carter: <No? Well, no one really knows. Much. Though one theory popped up once that they were engineered by some other race. The only proof of this is when a collection of psionic energy gathered into one spot, waiting for someone to claim it. ... however, it's unbelievable that all that psionic energy could be ... gathered. Here's a theory...What if some of it escaped and formed it's own consciousness?> *sees he's losing his students* <Anyway, back to the lecture...> *starts his usual drawl lecture*
<DeathStar> Batchelor: Excellent. Do it!
<DeathStar> Ayn: ... *grinds her teeth, complying*
<DeathStar> Carter: <Anyway, back to the lecture...> *starts his usual drawl lecture*
<Icebrand> .oO{...Was he trying to hint at something just then...?}
* Dahok smiles and begins drawings the new pose
<DeathStar> GM: *class continues, ending at 12:50 for both of them*
* Icebrand puts his things in his bookbag and stands, still lost in thought even an hour later
<DeathStar> Ayn: *puts her robe back on, leaving before Dahok can say a remark*
<DeathStar> Carter: *cleans the board for the next class that comes ni*
* Dahok stands up and looks at his drawing
* Icebrand walks out, still thinking
<Dahok> Is beautiful!!
<Icebrand> .oO{Looks like the only way we're going to catch... whoever is doing this is to catch them in the act...}
* Dahok takes his drawing with him and makes his way out of the class
<DeathStar> GM: *the usual daily crowd is walking around. Talks of a party tonight are frequent*
* Dahok walks through the crowd of people
* Icebrand walks outside, listening to the people mentioning the party in an attempt to find out where it is
<DeathStar> GM: *the university center fills up with people looking for food*
* Icebrand walks in and gets in line
<Icebrand> ...I should've gone to Palms...
* Dahok continues walking to the University Center and walks in
<DeathStar> GM: *Bobo walks out past Dahok, surrounded by ladies*
* Dahok looks at Bobo and shakes his head
* Dahok walks over to the line for the food court and steps in
<DeathStar> GM: *Dahok..is rigth behind ... IB!*
* Dahok looks at the back of Frost
<Dahok> Hey Frost..
<Icebrand> Dahok.
<Dahok> Look what I drew in class!!! *pulls out the canvas of Ayn in a rear in the air position and shows it to him*
<Icebrand> ...Interesting. *is clearly still thinking*
* Dahok smiles and puts it in his backpack
<DeathStar> GM: *they reach the front of the line*
*** Kimera is now known as Kim[AWAY]
<Icebrand> Cheeseburger and fries, for here.
<DeathStar> GM: *it is done!*
* Icebrand grabs a Coke from the cooler, pays for the food, then heads to find a seat
<Dahok> I'll take a DoubleBacoCheeseburger w/ mayonaise. A large fry, a salad, some white cake, some pudding, and some jello.
<Dahok> Oh and a cake.
<Dahok> NRP Err..Pop
<DeathStar> GM: *Er, it...is done!*
<DeathStar> Adam: *sits down with Steven* Hey, man.
<DeathStar> GM: *suddenly, screams outside are heard, plus loud crashing sounds*
<Icebrand> ...Hey, Ad... shit! *gets up and runs towards the commotion without explanation*
<DeathStar> Adam: *follows*
* Icebrand eats the fries he had in his hands on the run
<DeathStar> GM: *outside, a giant rabbit in a jewish outfit is seen wrecking the campus trees and statues. Ire is seen riding on top of it, waving his arms around as he uses the ears to balance*

* Dahok quickly runs out, scarfing down the bacocheeseburger
<Ire> GM: *it is a robot rabbit, for reference*
<Icebrand> ...What the...
* Ire slides back on the head and falls off, hitting the ground, hard.
<Garland> Stark: *jumps around it zapping it with his walking stick*
<Ire> I hate this job...
<Icebrand> .oO{Crap, and I have to stay incognito...}
<Garland> Stark: *glances at Ire, the rabbit hopping on a statue* This isn't koscher.
<Dahok> What in the hell...
<Ire> ...
<Ire> Adam: It's the giant jewish rabbit known as Rabbot!
<Dahok> Rabbot? What are you talking about?
* Ire stands up, holding his handguns. He opens fire on the Rabbot, blowing chunks of metal out of it.
<Ire> Adam: Eh, I always wanted to mimic a godzilla movie.
<Ire> Rabbot: *bounces away from the campus*
* Ire chases after it.
* Dahok stands there still confused
<Garland> Stark *chases after it*
*** Ire is now known as DeathStar
<Dahok> .....*finishes off his burger*
<DeathStar> GM: *the campus is quiet again*
<Icebrand> ...I'm afraid to ask.
* Icebrand heads back inside
<DeathStar> Adam: *walks back in* Hear about the party tonight?
<Icebrand> Yeah, I heard there was going to be one. Where at?
<DeathStar> Adam: Tonight at 9 at Brad's place.
* Dahok heads back inside and sits down where he left his food
* Dahok begins to chow down, scarfing the fries down
<Icebrand> That's apartment 7 over at Treeloft, right? *sits* Ok, I'll be there.
<DeathStar> Adam: Good. See you then!
