<Ire> Session 44: Don't Look Under the Bed
*** Kimera is now known as Silouette
<Ire> Time Chart: June 30th, 2222
<Ire> Location: Building 38
<Dahok> NRP: *looks under the bed* HAH!
<Ire> GM: *it's a decently cool day, but still pretty damn hot. Ire is sitting in the lobby, where the AC is currently working. He's snoring on the couch, asleep*
* Silouette idly watches the news
* Dahok lies on the couch, his head cocked back over the couch, sleeping
<Silouette> NRP: Awww... Aren't they cute sleeping together like that?
<Ire> Holovid Newscaster: In other news, the ninth child has gone missing, throwing the city into a panic. So far, police have no clues as to who or what is kidnapping the children and are pretty much tied up with the war effort. However, some speculate it's an effort by the Canadian Zone special forces to demoralize our area.
* Ire tilts his head a little so that it's bumping Dahok's head, snoring, too.
* DarkCross slowly comes out of med bay, rubbing his head. he heads towards the lobby
*** X1 is now known as Pope
* DarkCross rases a brow as he hears the trail end of that "huhh...?"
* Dahok stirs from the bump, but doesn't awake
<Ire> GM: *they show random citizens next on the holovid, who all bash Canada with various insults.*
* Silouette is tempted to change the channel, but doubts anything more insteresting is on.
* Dahok begins snori9ng
* Pope guzzles a beer nearby
<Ire> zzzz
* DarkCross shakes his head, not enjoying the holovid.. he walks over to where Ire is, kneeling down next to him. he then taps Ire on the shoulder to wake him..
<Pope> NRP: Hahaham I have booze!
<Dahok> NRP: So do I! But Ire's about to receive get head!
* Ire opens his eyes and looks at DC. It's not a friendly look.
<Pope> NRP: I have actual booze!
<Ire> Yes, Private?
* Dahok snaps awake and swings his arm, sending a punch right at DarkCross's face
<DarkCross> Thanks for before, you guess saved my ass back there, just never had the chance to thank ya. *his k9 teeth are a little longer then normal human standards and a bit more sharp*
<Ire> ...*pauses, trying to decipher this interesting language*
<Ire> O...kay...
* Silouette sits back in her seat and puts her feet up, closing her eyes peacefully.
* DarkCross falls back on the floor as he rases his hand to rub his forhead where Dahok cracked him
<Pope> NRP: <GM> *three hours later, everyone's asleep* SEssion ends!
*** Colonel_Roberts has joined #taw
* Dahok looks around
* Colonel_Roberts walks into the lobby area, eyeing the unit.
* Ire stands up at attention, eyeing Col. Roberts. He salutes, eyeing everyone
<Ire> Attention, everyone
* Dahok pops up and looks around, still half asleep
* Pope waves his hand without a care
* DarkCross stands up and comes to attention
* Silouette slowly opens her eyes, looks over to the Colonel, then gets up and salutes.
* Colonel_Roberts pauses to eye the "Brit", then nods at everyone
<Colonel_Roberts> At ease.
* Dahok plops back down in the couch
* DarkCross walks over to a nearby chair and sits himself there.
<Colonel_Roberts> Since Jerry is suffering from heatstroke, I've come to deliver today's case.
* Silouette stands more relaxed, but remains standing
* Ire remains steading, also.
<Ire> (standing)
<Colonel_Roberts> You may or may not have heard about the recent children vanishing.
* Colonel_Roberts pulls out a folder and hands it over to Ire, who promptly begins to thumb through it.
<Colonel_Roberts> All nine children are from different areas of the city and none of their families have any links to one another, really. Income, social status, all vary from child to child. Honestly, there's not one thing to tie any of them together except one fact.
* DarkCross listens to Col intently, waiting for him to keep speaking and finish what he is saying
<Dahok> They're children?
<Colonel_Roberts> The last few kids were complaining about a fear of going to sleep, claiming the boogie man was coming to get them. I had our people check back with the families of the previous victims and they, too, recall their children being afraid of the "Boogie man". I felt this would be right up your ... alley. *he says the last word almost...sarcastically*
<Ire> ...the boogie man, sir? Isn't that something all children are afraid of?
<DarkCross> Indeed.. i`d say all of us here might of been scared of the boogie man..
* Dahok stands up and stretches, walking off to do something
*** Dahok has quit IRC (Quit: )
<Silouette> ......
<Colonel_Roberts> ...I wouldn't know. In any event, it's your case now, Lt. Good luck. *steps out*
*** Colonel_Roberts has left #taw
<Ire> ...*looks slightly angry* Now we're getting cases that no one else in the department can solve.
<Silouette> ....atleast that means they have some respect for us now.
<Pope> Poor 'lil brats. *belches*
* Ire paces the room, staring at the reports.
<Ire> I honestly have no idea where we would begin.
* DarkCross sighs as he stands, pondering.. He then reaces into his jacket as he pulls out a black book, he opens it up and searches the 'bible' he obtained to see if it may hold anythign of intrest
<DarkCross> NRP*anything of intrest to the tpoic of the 'boogie man'
<Pope> NRP: "Satan...Bealzebub...Michael, nope, no Boogie Man!"
* Ire glances at the address of the last child.
<Ire> Lets do our own investigating. *grabs his comm, contacting a van*
* Pope gets up out of his seat and tugs on his jacket
* DarkCross closes the book and places it back in his jacket. he nods to Ire, as he waits for the van
<Pope> Gonna bust us a boogie.
* Ire steps out as the van pulls up.
*** Sherinmir is now known as Icebrand
* Icebrand stands next to the door, outside, as Ire passes
<Icebrand> <Bossman.> *nods* <Thanks for the off-time.>
* DarkCross follows Ire out and towards the Van, gett in the back
* Ire grunts, pulling open the driver door and getting in.
<Icebrand> <...That's all I get?> *snickers and gets in*
* Pope gets into the van
* Silouette steps outside, reading over the report
* Ire turns the van on and pulls out of the lot, driving along. It's already late in the evening, around 8 o'clock. The party crowd is already hitting bars.
<Pope> ...Uh, Ire, think we forgot the bird.
<Ire> The bird?
<Pope> Silouette.
* Ire pauses, as if this is a new concept on him. He slows the van down, glancing in the back seats.
* Silouette sits there quietly reading the report
<Ire> ... *gives Pope an odd look, then speeds back up*
<Pope> NRP: that was a mean trick. =P
<Ire> The last victim to be taken was six year old Lisa Thomas. She was found missing this morning, so if we're going to find any evidence, it's going to be there.
* Ire pulls into some of the neighbors of the West side of Mega City. He parks in one particular house, one story, big backyard, friendly area. The lights are on inside.
<DarkCross> Ire, Think all the kids may of been psion's?
<Pope> <MiniGM> *Ire hits something with the van*
<Ire> Psio---what the hell? *pause* Not fucking again.
*** NotSoMysteriousPerson has joined #taw
<Silouette> ......
<NotSoMysteriousPerson> Ow!
* Ire opens the van door and bends over, wondering which team member he hit today.
<Icebrand> <...That's not good...>
* NotSoMysteriousPerson looks up at Ire
* Ire stares at NSMP
<Ire> Do you live here, sir?
<Icebrand> <Who'd you kill this time, bossman?>
<NotSoMysteriousPerson> Excuse me, but do you frequently run over people?
<DarkCross> <..oi.. oh well.> *gets out of the van and looks around, looking over the house*
* Ire pauses.
<Ire> Yes.
<NotSoMysteriousPerson> ...That certainly figures.
<Ire> Do you need medical attention?
<NotSoMysteriousPerson> And no, I do not live here. I'm here on official business.
<Ire> Offical business, sir? *glances at the house* Here?
* NotSoMysteriousPerson laughs lightly, as if taking small pleasure in such a question. "No, I most certainly do not require medical assistance."
* Ire pauses, running a hand through his thick, black hair
<Ire> Might I ask who you are, sir?
<NotSoMysteriousPerson> My name is X2.
*** NotSoMysteriousPerson is now known as X2
<Pope> NRP: *GASP SHOCK DISMAY!*
* Ire pauses, glancing at any of the others to see if they find this name odd.
<Ire> ...X...Two, sir?
<X2> No, just 'X2'.
<Ire> What kind of name is X2?
<X2> Ask my father.
<Ire> ...what's his name, sir?
<X2> X1.
<Ire> ...Is your family alright in the head, sir?
<Icebrand> <...Codename, maybe? I mean, you're not... never mind.> *facepalms*
<Pope> Somethin' tells me the trunk on that family tree is pretty bare.
* DarkCross sighs as he moves on towards the house
<Icebrand> <Figures a guy named X1 names his son X2. Your granddad must be X0, then. What did you do before then, negatives?>
<X2> No, actually, they're quite not.
<Silouette> .........
<X2> No, my 'grandfather's name, if you could call him that, was Mega Man.
<Silouette> .oO( I can't believe this... we have a wacko... )
* Ire pauses, looking at the others once, then back at X2.
<Ire> Are you the boogie man?
<Icebrand> <...Riiiiiight...> *coughs*
<X2> If I say 'yes', will you kindly LET ME GET OUT FROM UNDER THIS CONFOUNDED MACHINE?
<Ire> ... *yanks X2 out from under the van, looking him over*
* DarkCross knocks on the door to Lisa house, or what he hopes to be Lisa's house.
* X2 stands and brushes himself off, fixing his glasses as well.
<Ire> GM: *the door opens and a woman in her early thirties opens the door* Yes? Who are you? *she looks grief stricken*
* Icebrand yawns and finally gets out of the van
<Ire> Alright ... X2, why are you here?
<X2> Nevermind that now. *waves to the woman* Hello! Yes! I called earlier!
<Icebrand> <...Telemarketer...?>
<DarkCross> Hi, I am here, with my team to investigate the dissapearance of your child Miss Thomas.
<Ire> GM: *The woman stares at DC, then opens the door* Mr. X2?
* Icebrand shakes his head and yawns again
* Ire crosses his arms, glancing at Sil, IB, and Pope
<X2> Yes.
<Ire> Who is this nut?
<Ire> Lisa: *looks at everyone* Well, uh, everyone, come inside..please. *she opens the door further*
* Icebrand shrugs
<Silouette> .....should we check for missing persons at the mental institution?
* X2 stops
<X2> I'm afraid these peopel are not with me, Ms. Thomas.
<Ire> Lisa: They're not? *looks concerned, eyeing DC*
*** Ellie has joined #taw
<X2> No ,they're not. I have no idea who they are.
<DarkCross> No, we are with a different department, but i am guessing we have the same operation.
* Ire pulls out his badge, holding it up at Lisa Thomas.
<Ellie> NRP: heya. Can I pop in?
<Pope> NRP: No! I mean, yes!
<Ire> I'm Lt. Carmichael, with the Mega City police department. I'm here to investigate the disappearance of your child.
<Ire> And why are YOU here, X2?
* Ire looks at him suspiciously.
<X2> That's precisely why I'm here, Lt. Carmichael.
* Pope shrugs and lights up
<Pope> Well ain't this quaint.
<Ire> And who do you work for?
<X2> I'm a professional psychiatrist. Some of the missing children were patients of mine.
<Ire> ...I see. *pauses, then nods* Alright, everyone inside. It's getting late.
<X2> My, so direct, aren't we?
* Silouette nods slowly.
<Icebrand> <You get used to it.> *yawns yet again*
* Ire steps inside past Lisa. He works his way into the quaint living room and stands in the corner.
<Pope> Nah, ya won't.
* Icebrand walks in, yawning and with a finger in his ear as he walks past Lisa - not a very good first impression, but eh
* Silouette steps inside, nodding to Lisa as she passes, eerily quiet as usual.
* Ire glances at a row of pictures of little Lisa, named after her mom it seems. She's a cute little girl.
* DarkCross walks over to X2 "May i ask why they where seeing you, if that is not breaking protocal for being a psychiatrist?
<X2> This is a lovely home you have me, Ms. Thomas.
<X2> I'm afraid it is,m y dear boy.
<Ire> Lisa: Thank you, Mis--er, Doctor X2. *she closes the door after everyone and moves into the kitchen to prepare tea. She looks like she's fighting the urge to have a break down*
<Garland> NRP: They all had inhibitions about appearing nude on film. X2 helped them aleviate those fears.
<X2> Nrp: That should be *have here*, sorry
* DarkCross walks into the living room, glancing towards the pictures on the walls
* Pope stands around, smoking
* Silouette glances around a little, but for the most part just quietly observes
<Ire> Lisa: *brings in cups of tea for everyone on a tray*
<X2> Oh, thank you.
* Ire takes a cup, sipping the tea. He looks around.
* X2 follows suit
<Ire> I read the report about what happened, so I don't really have anymore questions I want to ask you just yet. Is her room the way you found it still?
<Ire> Lisa: Yes, Mr. Carmichael.
* Ire nods.
* DarkCross takes a cup, taking a sip of the tea "Wonderful tea, Thank you Ms Thomas"
<Ire> Alright, I'm going to look around.
* Icebrand doesn't take the tea and just looks around
* Ire finishes his tea, sets it down, nods, then walks into the hallway.
* Silouette nods in thanks for the tea, and sips
<X2> I have a question. I have read the reports myself, but there seem to be some missing facts I'd like to try and discenr.
<Ire> Lisa Thomas: What's that, Dr. X2?
<X2> The reports say your daughter had been having issues sleeping, stating a 'boogie man' was after her. Has there been any unusual activity in the area that you've noticed lately?
<Ire> Lisa Thomas: No, Dr. X2, nothing. We were locking the doors every night and we have a security system on the windows. We don't see HOW anyone got in here to get her.
<X2> There is no other way into the house?
<DarkCross> Hmmm... i wonder.. *he rubs his chin*
<Ire> Lisa Thomas: None.
<X2> Could there have been any possible way your daughter might've been coerced into letting a stranger in?
<DarkCross> Please excuse me. *he stands, placing his cup down and heads towards the childs room where Ire is*
* Ire opens the room to the little girl's room and steps in. The walls are pink and the bed is a fluffy pink monster of a bed, with stuffed animals all over it in a line. Her dresser is full of trinkets and photos and last school year's homework. It's a clean room and looks totally deserted. Ire looks most out of place in such an area.
<Ire> Lisa Thomas: I don't see how.
* X2 sips his tea, contemplating
<Icebrand> *suddenly behind Ire* Typical little girl's room...
* Ire grunts, moving along it. He opens the closet and sees clothes hanging there and nothing out of the ordinary.
<Silouette> ...ma'am... what exactly would she say about this boogie man?
<Ire> Lisa Thomas: *looks at Sil, looking a little creeped out. Probably stress* Well, she just said she thought the boogie man was going to come out of the bed and grab her. She kept crying about it for nights.
* DarkCross wonders in and moves over to the childs bed, seeing if she had slept in it the night she dissapeared
<Ire> GM: *she had*
* Ire bends down next to the bed and looks under it. He sees a teddy bear laying there.
<Ire> Odd.
* Silouette nods slowly
* Icebrand stands in the doorway
* DarkCross places his hand on the bed as he tries to sence any residual pressance of the girl and her movements or anything else
<X2> Had your daughter been under any great maounts of stress?
<Ire> Lisa Thomas: Well, other than not wanting to sleep at night and not getting much of it, no. She was tired all day from not sleeping. She was afraid.
<X2> Hrm.
* Ire pulls the bear out from under the bed, looking at it.
* Pope remains in the living room, looking bored, still smoking.
<Icebrand> <What do you have there, boss-man?>
<Ire> A child's toy.
<Ire> Under the bed.
* DarkCross rubs his chin as he sits on the bed, still trying to find her pressancec.., but stops as he hears Ire's words "unter the bed?"
<Icebrand> <Probably just in storage, unless she still used it, of course.>
<DarkCross> (under**)
<Ire> Yes.
<Silouette> *turns her attention to X2* ...doctor... you said that some of the children were patients of yours... how many percisely?
* Ire looks odd holding the bear in his hands.
<X2> 3.
<Icebrand> <My kingdom for a camera.> *laughs*
<DarkCross> Hmm.. *sences it to see for anything..*
<X2> All complaing of similar fears.
* Silouette nods slowly.
<Icebrand> <Any theories about what's going on here, boss-man?>
<Ire> None.
<Pope> Maybe it was the Boogie Man.
* X2 gets a perplexed look on his face, then turns back to Pope
<DarkCross> Hmm.. This room seems too calm.. *shivers slightly as he bends down and looks under the bed*
<X2> What are you insinuating, young man?
<Ire> GM: *DC senses...darkness. Evil*
<Icebrand> <Got something over there, bro?> *senses the room himself*
<Pope> ...That it was the bloody Boogie Man!
<X2> ...I see...*laughs slightly, trying to stiffle it*
<Silouette> NRP: Damn Napoleon is striking from beyond the grave!
<Pope> Sod off, brain-boy.
<DarkCross> ....Yea.. Big time.. Watch my back.. i`m going under.. *he gets on his hands and knees and tries to get under the bed, to find the sourcee
<Ire> GM: *DC makes it partially in, then gets stuck*
<Ire> ...
<Icebrand> <...Way to go, bro.>
* Ire eyes DC, stuck under the huge pink bed.
* DarkCross extends his sences, trying to pick throught it to find a door into clearity
* Icebrand finally loses it and doubles over laughing
* Ire is still holding his teddy bear.
* Ire allows himself a small smile at DC's predicament.
<Ire> GM: *DC fails*
<Silouette> ...I think I better check on my coworkers. *puts the cup down, then heads up to the girl's room*
<Icebrand> <I can safely say I never expected THIS when I signed on for this job!>
<Ire> GM: *Sil walks in to find IB laughing on the floor, DC stuck under a huge pink bed, and Ire standing there holding a teddy bear*
* Silouette just stops dead in her tracks...
* X2 sips his tea
<Icebrand> <...> *quickly stands up on Sil's entry and tries to appear seirous*
<Silouette> NRP: Do we have any evidence gathering kits by chance?
<Ire> NRP: Yes.
<Icebrand> NRP: The spelling should give you an idea as to the success of that.
<DarkCross> Wait... wait wait.. hmmm... That bear.. under here.. She was taken under here.. Ice, see if that was her favorate bear..
<X2> I think I'll let that group finish their investigation before I start mine, Mr. Thomas.
* Silouette uses her police issue camera to snap a picture of this then.
* Ire pauses, glancing at Sil, the camera, then the bear.
<Ire> ...
* Silouette whistles innocently as she puts the camera away.
<Icebrand> <Hey boss-man, you seem attached to that bear. Why don't you go find out?> *smirks*
<Ire> But...it's not...you see...
* Pope remains in the living room with X2 and Ms. Thomas.
<Ellie> NRP: gngiht
* Ire pauses, frowns, and walks out, still holding the bear. He walks into the living room with it.
<Pope> Yeah, I'm not goin' up there.
<Ire> Lisa: Oh, you found my daughter's favorite bear, Teddy.
<Ire> ...yes, well, it was, uh, under the bed. *coughs* Any idea why?
<Ire> Lisa: I'm not sure. She hated going under there.
<DarkCross> There has to be something under here... but where..
<Silouette> ......I don't know who is more insane. You guys, or the doctor...
*** Ellie has quit IRC (Quit: Now the flood gates may not hold, though we may race and we may run, we cannot change what has been done.)
<Icebrand> <You just came in at a really bad time.> *shrugs*
<X2> Certainly not me.
* X2 stands in the doorway
<Ire> Hrm.
<Icebrand> <You're the one that's already under there, you tell us.>
* Ire walks back into the girl's room, standing behind X2 with the bear under his arm.
<Ire> It was her favorite.
* DarkCross shivers again as he still has the sence of the evil and darkness "I know i know.. thats what i`m looking for" he tries to sence for a center point
<Ire> GM: *DC becomes unstuck, and disappears totally under the bed*
* Pope takes a drag off his steadily shrinking cigarette, totally out of place. "Yeah, so not goin' up there."
<Icebrand> <...Uh...bro?>
<Silouette> ......

<Ire> ...
* Ire eyes the bed.
<Ire> Private?
<Icebrand> <...Claustrophobia.> *backs against the wall and shoves his hands in his pockets*
<Ire> ...*pauses, then turns around and calls out into the hall* Poooope. Assignment for you. Get up here.
<Ire> Lisa: *smiles awkwardly at Pope*
* Pope nods at Ms. Thomas.
* Pope calls upstairs. "Ain't comin' up there."
<Ire> Get up here.
<Pope> Sod off!
<Ire> Now!
<Pope> No!
<Ire> Don't make me come down there!
* X2 adjusts his glasses.
* Ire looks pissed, still holding the bear.
<X2> I hate to admit it, but you people reminds me of another group I knew.
* Icebrand taps Sil's shoulder and points at Ire
<Pope> Bring it, Yank!
<Silouette> ...use to have a bear like that Ire?
<Ire> ... *glances at it, looking angry* It's evidence, okay?
<Ire> Sil, get under there and find Donte.
<Icebrand> *transmitted to all, including Pope* <Looks like Pope never got over a certain childhood fear.>
* Silouette shrugs and trys to find where Donte disappeared to
<Pope> *shouts up the stairway* Childhood fear my arse, that thing's real!
<Icebrand> *to all upstairs* <And I'm tempted to agree with him.>
<Ire> GM: *Sil sees a huge wide under the bed space. With no DC*
<X2> *mutters* As long as it isn't a clown..
* Ire glances at X2, looking blank
<Ire> Clown?
<X2> Quite a long story.
<Ire> ...
* Silouette keeps searching under the bed for... anything. She doesn't know what the hell she's doing.
<X2> Uh, Lt, where is your commrade..?
* Ire pauses, snatching a camera and bending under the bed to take a picture of Sil crawling around under it.
* Ire pockets the camera.
<Ire> We're trying to find out.
<Icebrand> ...Cheap shot, boss-man.
<Silouette> ...I still have the picture of the bear, and atleast I can FIT under the bed.
* X2 looks at Ire in distain.
<X2> You definitely remind me of people I know.
* Ire glances at X2, looking unphased
<Ire> And who might that be?
<Icebrand> <Down, you two. Find anything, Sil?>
<X2> You rpobably wouldn't know them.
<Ire> Hopefully.
* Ire pauses, hearing nothing from Sil.
<Ire> Steven, get under there and find them.
<Icebrand> <...Ok.>
* Icebrand takes a knee next to the bed and tries to sense them instead
<Ire> GM: *nothing*
<Icebrand> <Help me move the bed, boss-man?>
<Ire> ...
* Ire sets the bear down and grabs one end of the bed.
* Icebrand lifts the sheet up and grabs the other end at the bottom
* Pope shifts uncomfortably
* Ire moves the bed several feet away from the wall. Nothing there.
<Ire> ... How can they just disappear/
<Icebrand> <...We're dealing with a psion. Go figure.>
<Ire> I doubt it. You would sense some psionic traces.
* Ire bends down at the spot the bed was, looking over it. Nothing but normal carpet.
<Icebrand> <Then what the hell ARE we dealing with?>
<Ire> ...*grunts* Any ideas, Doc?
* Ire looks at X2.
* X2 shrugs
<Pope> NRP: BRB
* Ire stands up, moving the bed back to it's original position.
<Icebrand> <...hmm.>
* Ire glances at the bed as if it bites. He grips the edge and begins to slide himself under it.
* Ire keeps sliding in, his legs only visible. Then they're gone, too.
<Icebrand> <Got something, boss? Or does it have you?> *snickers*
<Ire> Har.
<X2> ...I think I should go get some help
* X2 rushes back downstairs
<Ire> GM: *silence*
*** X2 has quit IRC (Quit: I shall eat this world before it eats me. Raw. And dirty. And sticky...Maybe I should bathe more often.)
*** Pope is now known as X1-Sleep
<Icebrand> <...Fine.>
* Icebrand lifts up the sheet and looks under, still refusing to go under
<Ire> GM: *no one is there*
* Icebrand crawls under, having given up on any hope of sanity today
<Ire> GM: *IB is in a cramped space of 2 feet. It's rather dusty under here. And hot*
<Icebrand> <Christ.> *goes into Frozen Warrior form* <Aaah, much better.>

<Ire> NRP: Be glad, Ire and IB killed it and got you all boss exp. points.
<Icebrand> ...Jesus H. Christ...
<Ire> GM: *IB flies out last*
* Ire rolls into Unoria's dresser.
<Ire> Ow.
* Icebrand slams into the opposite wall. He slides to the floor, reverting to human on the way.
* DarkCross slams into the wall as well
<Silouette> *holds her side. She smiles weakly as Ire and Icebrand come through* ...I trust... you took care of it...?
<Ire> It's dead.
<Caladia> NRP: *blinks*
<Icebrand> ...GET OFF OF ME!
* Ire struggles to push himself up. Finally, exhaustion is on his face and he seems to be haunted, a little, too.
* Icebrand shoves DC off
*** Caladia is now known as Unoria
<Silouette> ...good... serves it right... for... trying to impersonate me...
* Unoria arises from underneath the 3 of them.. "Hi?"
* Ire stands up and opens Unoria's door, leaving immediately.
* DarkCross growls and curses as he caughs up blood
* Icebrand flips to his feet, having flown away
<Unoria> I'm not even going to ask. *slowly gets up*
* DarkCross slowly stands as he walks out and towards medbay
* Ire stands in the hallway, his body slumping as he holds his gut wound, which is bleeding slightly. He shuffles for his room.
* Icebrand rubs his head painfully
<Icebrand> <...I never should have gotten out of bed this morning...>
<Silouette> ...I'm going to get some rest... I lost a good sword today... *heads for her room rather than the medbay*
<Unoria> ... What happened to you guys??
* Ire unlocks his door and shuffles in, not bothering to shut it before collapsing on his bed.
<Icebrand> <I'm pretty sure you wouldn't believe me if I told you. ...Wait, what are you doing here?>
<Unoria> ... It's my room?
* DarkCross stumbles into medbay and graps a bunch of 'tape' and ice backs and stumbles off to his room
<Unoria> OH! You weren't here. I came by looking for you, and I ended up talking to Ire... I'm back on the team.
<Icebrand> <No, here, in general. You didn't tell me you were coming back.> *grins* <Good to have you back, though. Things weren't the same around here, you know?>
* Ire lays on his bed, his eyes shut.
<Unoria> They weren't? How so?
<Icebrand> <We'll talk later... I need some rest.> *yawns* <Long night last night plus long day today equals Steven needs sleep.>
* Unoria giggles.
* DarkCross rips the matress off the bed with the sheets and pillow and pushes the bedframe out into the hall and colapses on the matress
<Unoria> You want me to get you something to drink before you head to bed?
<Icebrand> <That's ok.>
<Ire> NRP: LOL
* Unoria smiles. "Alright, just wonderin~"
* Icebrand waves and leaves, heading for his own room
* Unoria waves back.
* Icebrand bumps into the door as he tries to open it
<Icebrand> ...Dammit. And I left my keys inside...
* Icebrand just lies down on the floor and goes to sleep
* Unoria sits down on the corner of her bed and unpacks the rest of her clothing.
* DarkCross ties the bandages around his chest and places the ice pacts over his body as he tries to get some sleep..
* Unoria sighs as she gets up. She exits her room and walks down the hall.. She passes Ire's room, and his door is open. She peers in.
* Ire is laying face down on his bed.
* Unoria knocks slightly on the door... "uhh.. Ire?"
<Ire> ...what?
<Unoria> What's wrong, Sir?
<Ire> ...nothing.
<Unoria> ...*Steps inside his room. This is the first time she's seen inside of his room. * Yes there is.. I'm concerned Sir.
<Ire> GM: *it's mainly empty, except for the bed and dresser*
* DarkCross has two things pass in his mind before he falls asleep .. the fist.. "i hate water".. the second "i am NEVER sleeping in a bed again!"
* Ire rolls over and sits up, holding his bleeding gut. It's not a dangerous bleeding where he'll die, but it's there. He's also stained the sheets a little.
<Ire> I'm fine. Can I help you?
<Unoria> ...Yes, you can start off by telling me what's wrong and stop hiding things.
* Unoria holds out her hands and sends a heeling blast at Ire's wound.
<Ire> ... *eyes her, doing nothing more than grunting and turning his head as he's healed*
* Silouette bandages her wounds up and gets a clean outfit on. Sitting on her bed, she pulls a picture out of her dresser and just looks at it silently
* Unoria walks in further towards Ire.
<Ire> ... It's late, Paladith. You should get some sleep.
* Ire lays down on his back, looking at his ceiling.
<Unoria> I was just sleeping until the 4 of you landed on me. I've had more then enough sleep. And don't need you worrying about me. You're the one you should be worried about.
<Ire> ... I'm fine.
<Unoria> Sir, you left your door open.
<Unoria> Highly unlike you.
<Ire> Long day.
<Unoria> I don't care how long you feel the days been, you never leave your door open. *sits down on the corner of his bed*
<Ire> ...
* Ire glances at her.
* Unoria looks at Ire... "Sir please. I want to help."
<Ire> I'm fine. *stresses the last word*
<Unoria> .... You honestly expect me to believe this?
<Ire> I don't care what you believe.
<Unoria> Ire, of all the people on this team right now I'm sure you think we are all nut cases, and sure we probably are. but that doesn't mean you have to disconnect from us... Can you honestly tell me that you are happy showing no emotion what-so-ever?
<Ire> ...yes.
<Unoria> Lieing to yourself never helped anybody.
<Ire> If I want you in my bed head, I'll invite you.
<Ire> (er, head)
<Ire> NRP: Just head.
<Unoria> NRP: lol!!!
<Ire> NRP: Shit, Ire's doing freud slipups!
<Unoria> NRP: <Ire> If I wanted you in my bed, I'll invite you... <Unoria> So, you gonna invite me? <Ire> Sure, why not.
* Unoria clears her throat dryly. "Sorry.." She stands up slowly and sighs, upset that she hadn't gotten through to him. "Try to relax and have a good night sir."
<Ire> ...yeah.
* Unoria looks back at Ire as she closes his door.
<Alicia> NRP: Goodnight
