<Ire> GM: *On Ire's desk is 3 stacks of folders. One pile is labeled priority cases, the other is secondary cases, and the last is discarded cases*
* Ire steps outside of the building and heads over to the shooting range. He runs a hand through his hair and rubs his face. He looks exhausted.

* Dahok turns around
* Stark looks at the discarded ones
<Dahok> WHO THE HELL DID THAT?!
<Ire> GM: *several cops burst out laughing at Dahok.* Man: We figured since you're chasing the boogy man now, we would give you the right training.
* Dahok looks around eyeing people
<Dahok> Oh yeah? Ya think that's funny now? *advances towards the cop*
<Ire> GM: *the discarded cases include such things like ritual midget killings and whatnot. Also, very old cases, 20 years or older, lay there. Obviously too old to look into*
<Ire> Cop: *smirks smugly* Yeah.
<Dahok> Good....
<Dahok> *reels his hand back and slugs the officer in the gut* Then you'll find that funny too!
* Dahok quickly turns around and slugs one of the other officers who was laughing

<Ire> Higher Ups: ... *look at each other, then Dahok*
* Ire finishes another round of firing, scoring 95 this time. He eyes a couple of cops walking by him, as if they had been in a fight.
<Dahok> .....Sirs! *quickly salutes them*
<Ire> Higher Ups: *return the salute, though with dubious looks. They walk off*
* Dahok growls and runs out of the training room, past the higher ups and towards the direction of those officers
<Ire> GM: *as soon as Dahok steps out, he'll see they could have gone just about anywhere. Nearby, though, he might notice Ire at the shooting range*
* Dahok spots Ire and runs towards him
* Ire reaims his handguns for a third trial run, tilting his head to eye Dahok approaching
* Dahok slides to a halt next to Ire
<Dahok> Did you see a group of officers who looked ruffed up?
* Dahok wipes blood from his nose and lip
<Ire> ... *lowers the handguns and straightens up, eyeing Dahok* Were you fighting, Ensign?
<Dahok> ....THEY STARTED IT!
<Ire> ...who threw the first punch?
<Dahok> ...I did sir...
<Ire> Then, *turns back to the targets and fires away* you not only began it, but you did exactly what they wanted. Reacted.
<Dahok> So whaT?! I don't care what my case is, they have no right to mock it.
<Ire> And you have no right to throw punches at people. *he stops firing, turning to look at Dahok*
<Dahok> Why not?
* Ire grunts, looking strained.
<Dahok> For all I know, they could've thrown a punch at me anyways!
<Dahok> The higher ups don't know what happened..
<Ire> I see. *turns to look at the targets, then lowers the handguns onto a table* Look, Ensign, I can understand ... you wanting to defend that which you stand for, but it's not right to beat up people who jeer and mock at you. Defend yourself, yes, but don't start something over something so trivial.
<Ire> What other people think does not matter.
<Dahok> Yes Sir....*holds his anger back*
* Ire holsters his weapons, then turns and walks back to their building.

<Dahok> How'd you do that anyways..
<Firebird> <Sleepwalking, I guess...>
<Dahok> But you can't do that anyways.

* Dahok looks over at Ire
<Dahok> Ignore the news
<Ire> Newscaster: Tonight we saw a very different side to the Police Force of our area. *footage of Firebird swinging his shirt around and dancing is shown* It seems the young recruits these days really know how to get it down in our local strip clubs. And, not only that, but their officers, as well, know how to enjoy themselves. *footage of Ire battling the amazonian women in the mud is shown* It seems they know the meaning of play.

* Firebird growls and activates his claws
* Dahok push's himself up and heads outside and looks around, bored
<Firebird> <I'll kill the bastards that did this!>

<Ire> GM: *No one ... except for some woman, facing the opposite way of Dahok. She seems to be wearing white*
<Ire> GM: * a lightning bolt strikes the Police generator. The lights in all the buildings flicker, and die. The computers automatically bring up on the emergency generators.*
<Firebird> <...Frag it.>
<Ire> GM: *however, red lights replace the normal lights and the computers remain in a state of stand by*
* Ire looks up from the now useless computer.
<Ire> ...

Session Ident: #taw
* Ire pounds on Pope and Stark's room
<Ire> Anyone in there?
<Ire> GM: *the emergency lights cast a red glow all over the building*
* Firebird dozes off
* Pope flings open the door, rubbing his bloodshot eyes and looking haggard
<Pope> Ugh, 'hat in the 'ell you want?
<Ire> Stark in there with you?
*** Ellie is now known as Infinity
<Ire> GM: *another loud boom as another lightning bolt strikes nearby*
* Dahok shakes his head as he tries to clear his head
* Ire pounds on Firebird's room.
*** Caladia has joined #taw
*** ChanServ sets mode: +o Caladia
* Pope looks back behind his door and looks at Ire again, wincing through a headache
<Pope> No black guy 'ere, mate.
<Ire> GM: *the emergency lights flicker. The storm continues to grow worse*
<Ire> Ensign Frost, open this door.
* Dahok confident that he can hear again continues to walk forward looking around the clock tower
<Dahok> Hello?
* Infinity smiles as the lightning strikes. She stands at Pope's door, soaking wet, dressed in her cloaks and goggles. She grins and knocks on the door.
* Ire turns and sees Infinity in the hallway, who has gone missing since Tikal's death and the reassignment of the unit.
<Ire> ...?
* Pope opens the door again, still loking haggard and hungover
<Infinity> Hello.
<Pope> ...I must still be bloody drunk
<Infinity> Well, you are, but it doesn't change a bloody thing.
* Firebird swings the door open
<Ire> ... *frowns, not pleased or something or another.* I don't have time for rollcall, I'm locking down the building. The storm's going to get worse in a moment. Anyone out there at this time of night is stuck out there.
* Ire looks at Firebird
<Ire> Fyro in there?
<Firebird> <The hell do you... oh, good evening, Ire...>
* Pope peers out to Ire, then back to Infinity
<Firebird> <Haven't seen him.>
<Ire> Feh.
<Pope> Stuck inside with no'ere to go and nothin' to do. What a shame. *grins*
* Ire turns and walks down the stairs, passing Infinity and Pope.
<Dahok> Now where did she go..
* Infinity smiles to Ire, "It's a lovely night. Lots of thunder. Pretty lights." She turns to Pope, "Think of it not."
* Ire walks over to the doors, entering codes into the pad to activate the shutters on all the windows.
<Pope> Ah bugger. *snaps his fingers and flings the door open, revealing the fact he is, in fact, butt-naked.
<Ire> GM: *outside in the yard water begins to pile up, a mini-flood forming*
* Ire tries the communicator again.
<Infinity> ....Stark raving nude.... *She sweeps past him, entering his room, her feet leaving wet spots on the floor.*
<Ire> Anyone outside Building 38 will be spending the night out there.
* Pope looks down, then back up. "It's cold, luv, I swear."
<Ire> Anyone inside building 38, head to the kitchen, get some candles and matches. The backup generator will go out soon.
* Ire flips the communicator off.
* Infinity rolls her eyes, and shrugs her cloak off, leaving it on the floor. She picks up a pair of boxers, and tosses them at Pope without glancing at him.
* Firebird grins, then balls his hands into fists and goes into a combat pose
* Pope smirks and pulls them on
<Firebird> I have a better idea. Burning Warrior Transform!
* Ire enters the final code and locks the doors.
* Infinity finally looks to him, the smile missing from her face, "Thank goodness. It was hard to not laugh."
* Firebird is surrounded by red energy that, now, does next to nothing thanks to the red emergency lights
<Ire> GM: *the red lights dim even more*
* Ire looks around the lobby, grunting.
<Pope> Only laughing you'd do is when I tickle yer fancy.
* Ire heads up the stairs and back to Pope's room, walking in.
*** Caladia is now known as Unoria
* Firebird shrugs and heads for the kitchen
* Pope turns around, staring at Ire with a bit of ire. *HAH!*
* Infinity lifts her eyes to the ceiling, as if calling for patience and guidence. She then turns to Pope, "Right. I didn't think you'd hang here."
* Ire turns to face Infinity, ignoring Pope.
<Ire> Ensign Lyons, where have you been the past week?
* Infinity feels his gaze, and turns around, a mask of detachment on her face, "In the city. Feeling it."
<Dahok> Guess she lefT?
* Ire looks neutral, though his face is hard to make out as the red lights are almost dimmed to nothing.
<Ire> You cannot just go vanishing weeks at a time without telling me first.
* Pope looks at Infinity
<Pope> Feelin' it? C'mon, you could've felt it right 'ere.
* Firebird arrives at the kitchen and begins rummaging around for candles
<Ire> GM: *some candles are discovered*
* Unoria walks down the stairs towards the Kitchen, a flickering candle in hand.
* Infinity eyes Pope, "There's much of God in the city; the pain is noticable."
<Firebird> <Jackpot. Now where are the bleeding matches...>
<Ire> GM: *only 2 are left*
* Unoria hands Firebird some matches. "Here."
* Firebird jumps with a yelp
<Firebird> <...DON'T DO THAT!>
* Infinity glances to Ire, "I helped ease it here and there."
* Ire glances at the stairs where there was a yell
<Ire> ...?
* Unoria blinks.... "What.. ?"
* Infinity chortles, "I spited God himself."
* Ire looks at Infinity.
* Pope grabs some pants
<Ire> Just clear it with me next time, okay?
<Firebird> <It's this dark in here, and you want to know WHAT?> *shudders*
<Pope> Sorry luv, think we got more pressin' matters to attend to.
<Ire> I don't need anyone else ending up with shots to their head.
* Ire turns and marches out and up the stairs to the control room.
<Dahok> Man...
* Infinity nods slowly to Ire, and then blinks, "Someone got shots to the head?"
<Firebird> <Thanks for the matches, though... Let's head back to floor 2 and pass these out.>
<Dahok> Wonder how bad it is outside now..
<Pope> Tikal.
* Firebird grabs the candles and heads out
<Infinity> And you're still hear?
<Ire> GM: *the red lights go completely out; darkness reigns.*
<Pope> ...Oh bugger.
<Dahok> Ahh man...
<Dahok> Now I can't see either.
* Firebird tries to flare his aura a bit, trying to expand his light radius
<Firebird> <Cripes, it's dark in here...>
<Infinity> ....I came prepared. *pulls a flashlight from her bag. She flicks it on*
* Unoria holds out the lit candle looks around for the others so she doesn't trip over someone
* Ire stands in the darkness of the control room.
<Unoria> When did the power go out anyhow?
<Pope> Smart gal.
<Ire> GM: *outside the rain worsens. Flooding in lower areas begins, but nothing big.*
* Pope grabs a shirt on a nearby chair and pulls it on.
* Infinity gets a little distant, "...yeah, I've had to be...."
<Firebird> <'Bout a half hour ago... where have you been?>
* Firebird begins splashing in the thin layer of water on the first floor
* Unoria blushes... "I sleep through everything."
* Dahok stumbles to the stairs and opens the door
<Ire> GM: *a banging sound is heard throughout the silence of the building*
* Dahok begins walking down the stairs towards the entrance of the clock tower
<Firebird> <Sheesh...> *jumps and cowers* WHATWASTHAT?!
<Infinity> ....what's that?
<Ire> ?!
* Unoria falls to the floor and covers her head
* Ire spins around, hearing the banging coming from near the control room where he is at.
* Firebird hides behind Unoria
* Ire moves towards, in the total darkness, the stairs leading to the roof. He has to feel his way.
* Unoria 's candle rolls on the floor until it goes out.
* Infinity closes her eyes for a moment, tries to hear the direction of the banging.
<Infinity> up...
* Unoria starts to cry slightly.
* Firebird mutters, his aura now the only light
<Firebird> <Chill, we're going to be fine. We just need to get back to the others - and out of this water.>
* Dahok see's the floor is covered in water
<Dahok> ...Great
<Unoria> ..... I don't like storms....
<Firebird> <Now let's go.> *puts his hand on Unoria's shoulder, trying to hide the fact that he was hiding behind her*
* Pope lights up a cigarette in the dark, a small glow eminating
<Ire> GM: *water sweeps in on Floor 1, even though everything is shut down*
<Pope> Right, let's check it out.
* Infinity glances to Pope, as if waiting for a smart comment before pacing out of the room. She makes her way out of the room, and to the stairs.
* Unoria gulps and slowly gets up
* Ire moves up the stairs in the control room, the banging sound getting louder. He slips and a thud is heard in addition to the banging.
<Infinity> *the flashlight held forward, dimly lights her way*
* Firebird stands as well and whips out a candle
* Dahok slosh's towards the door and opens it
<Firebird> <You might need this.> *lights it and hands it to her*
<Ire> GM: *Dahok finds the complex flooded. Building 38 is far away*
* Pope follows close behind Infinity
* Unoria smiles slightly through the tears and accepts it,
<Unoria> ...Thanks.
<Ire> GM: *a groaning sound is heard now, in addition to the banging
<Dahok> Son of a bitch..
* Firebird puts his arm around Unoria's shoulders, trying to ignore the noises
<Firebird> <Everybody's on the second floor... there's safety in numbers, right? Let's head up.>
<Pope> =ﾞ
* Dahok grabs the door sides and push's himself out sprinting full force towards Building 38
* Infinity makes her way up the stairs slowly, the light dimly marking the way.
* Unoria jumps slightly at the arm around the shoulder, but doesn't move away... "Yeah.... safety in numbers..." walks towards the stairs, but trips on the first stair and slams her face into the staircase.
<Ire> GM: *Infinity arrives on the third floor. No one where. Another set of stairs are seen. The banging is louder now*
* Firebird catches her
<Ire> (there)
<Firebird> <Don't tell me I'm going to have to carry you up.> *grins*
* Dahok gets blown around as he sprints towards Building 38
<Ire> GM: *lightning strikes the flooded water, the electricity skirting toward Dahok*
* Unoria smiles... "I'm quite the clutz, what can I say... heh.." keeps walking, but slowly so she doesn't loose her footing again.
<Dahok> Ahh shit...*flips up and grabs onto a tree branch*
* Infinity shines the light on the third floor, and lifts her gaze to the ceiling, "up...." She jogs to the stairs, and once again walks up to the roof.
* Firebird heads up as well, poised as if worried something's going to jump out at them
<Pope> Whoopie.
* Ire is seen laying on the stairs, a cut on his forehead. Water is pouring down the stairs.
* Dahok drops back down and runs back towards the building 38
<Infinity> ....perfect.
* Unoria looks around nervously, keeping an eye on everything... "Alright, well we made it to the second flor."
* Ire sits up, holding his head.
<Ire> GM: *the second floor is deserted now*
<Firebird> ...Dammit, where is everyone...
* Firebird tries to sense where everyone disappeared to
<Ire> GM: *the banging continues from above. It's just out of the reach of Infinity's light*
<Pope> If you wanted to party, guv, all you had to do was ask.
* Dahok reach's teh building and opens the door quickly entering it
<Ire> GM: *The door is locked!*
* Infinity kneels beside Ire, and gently pats his face. Her eyes focus on the water, "....You should stop the water Pope."
* Ire looks up.
<Ire> I think the roof door blew open.
* Unoria blinks... "Okay, I don't like not knowing where people are... But can we stop off in my room? I want to grab a few extra matches and a cople more candles just incase."
<Infinity> Maybe.
* Infinity stands and shines the light up the stairs. She takes a few cautious steps upwards.
<Firebird> <Sure.> *continues trying to sense*
<Ire> GM: *the door is now seen in the light, banging as the wind blows it. Tons of water is pouring in*
* Unoria holds up the candle to each door, in attempts to find hers.
<Pope> Stop the water, Pope. Don't bloody smoke, Pope. Don't kick old ladies, Pope. Bugger, don't any yanks know how to have fun 'ere?
<Dahok> SON OF A!!!
<Firebird> <Ok... they're up. That's all I can sense.>
* Dahok pulls on the door handle
* Pope tries to pull the door back shut
<Ire> GM: *the door shuts*
* Ire stands up, drenched.
* Unoria looks to the ceiling, then the doors again. "here we are!" Opens the door and walks in.
* Dahok pounds on the door
<Dahok> Come on...
* Infinity grabs onto the railing to support herself since tons of water comes in. Once the water stops, she smiles to Pope, "Our hero." Her tone isn't so pleasant.
<Ire> GM: *now a pounding from below is heard*
* Firebird looks around inside
* Ire looks at the other set of stairs.
<Ire> ...now what?
<Unoria> Sorry about the mess.... *blushes*
<Firebird> <...Have you ever seen the mess Dahok leaves behind? This is nothing.> *snickers*
<Infinity> You're the commander Ire.
<Ire> Lieutenant, thanks.
* Dahok continues pounding on the door
* Ire moves down the stairs and back into the dark third floor.
* Infinity shrugs, "Ranks hold little meaning in the war against God's ways."
<Ire> GM: *Unoria's door slides shut, locking Firebrid and her in*
<Unoria> Well, this is messy for me anyway. I like to keep things as neat as possible, but I couldn't clean with the power out when I woke up, so I went downstairs.
* Firebird whips around
<Firebird> <What in the...?>
<Unoria> .....*turns to the door* what the,....
* Firebird tries unsuccessfully to open the door
<Unoria> Ummmm... Okkay. This is getting WAY too freaky.
* Ire moves down the stairs, without a light, feeling his way. He's now on the second floor. He passes the room that just locked in Firebird and Unoria and works his way down the stairs to the first floor*
* Firebird shoulder-rams the door
<Ire> GM: *Infinity and Pope now hear a new banging from the 2nd Floor*
* Infinity sighs, "....see why I left?"
<Dahok> COME ON!! *pounds harder*
* Firebird mutters, draws back farther, and tries again
* Ire reaches the first floor, noting the inch of water. He walks along it towards the door and leans against it.
<Ire> Who is it?!
<Dahok> Ire?!
<Dahok> IT'S ME DAHOK!
<Ire> ...Fyro.
* Ire mutters, feeling for the keypad. He tries to enter the code in the dark.
* Firebird repeats the process ad infinitum, hoping it'll eventually give
* Ire gets an error and tries again.
* Pope rests his head in his hand and taps the railing in boredom
<Ire> GM: *more banging from the 2nd Floor*
<Pope> This is bloody beautiful.
<Unoria> ... hey, I don't want a broken door by the end of this.
* Unoria smiles, jokingly.
* Infinity glances to Pope, "You mean in the sarcastic way, correct?" She shrugs, "Again, do you see why I left?"
* Ire enters the code right and all the window shutters raise and the door opens. Water begins to pour in from the front door and the wind breaks some windows.
<Firebird> <You may not. This damned thing won't budge.> *tries again*
<Ire> Get in, Fyro!
<Pope> Bloody 'ell, haven't you people heard of drains?!
<Ire> GM: *Firebird's door remains shut, but the window breaks*
* Dahok slides in quickly
* Ire pushes the door shut and enters the code. The window shutters lower.
* Infinity looks coldly at Pope, "My people didn't have drains. It was too dry."
<Firebird> <Frag!>
<Unoria> Hrmm... Well, I guess I'll throw some of this mess in the corner for now. *gathers odds and ends from the floor and puts them in the corner.
<Pope> You msut be lovin' this, then.
<Ire> GM: *Unoria's window shutter stops half-way. Rain blows in*
<Unoria> ... ACK!
<Pope> Let's find out what that damn bangin' is.
* Unoria tries to shit the shutter.
<Unoria> (shut!)
* Infinity grins, "I am...." She trails off for a moment and holds an expression of sadness....
<Infinity> ...Right.
* Firebird ups the ante, throwing all of his power into a ram
* Ire would glare at Fyro if he could see him in the dark.
* Unoria yells, rain blowing in her face. "LIL HELP?!"
* Pope heads past Infinity back towards the second floor towards the banging
<Ire> Come on, Ensign, lets find the others.
<Ire> GM: *Pope would find Unoria's door*
<Dahok> Ok..
* Ire walks through the water in the first floor, feeling for the stairs.
* Infinity shrugs, as if shrugging off the years, and follows after Pope, her flashlight meekly lighting the path forward.
* Firebird stops the ramming and goes to help Unoria with the shutter
* Dahok follows behind Ire
<Firebird> <Sorry, wasn't thinking!>
* Unoria pulls down, stomping her feet.
<Unoria> GOD DAMMIT! CLOSE! *pulls harder*
* Ire finds the stairs and walks up them, slowly, since his boots are wet.
<Ire> GM: *a squirrel leaps in right as the shutter shuts*
* Infinity 's feet slosh along the wet carpets and floors. Her bare feet.
<Firebird> <Phew...>
* Dahok stays behind Ire
* Unoria stumbles back.. "What was that?!?!"
<Ire> Squirrel: *attacks Unoria's pillows*
* Pope tries the door
* Ire arrives on the second floor to find Pope trying to open a locked door.
<Firebird> <...Appears to be a violent... squirrel? We're on the second floor!>
<Infinity> ....All I wanted was a bloody place to weather the storm. Now I'm playing fucking House on Haunted Hill.
<Unoria> Get it away!!! Kill it!!
* Ire hears the shouts inside the room.
* Unoria swings at it with one of her katanas!
<Firebird> <...But it's just a squirrel...>
<Firebird> <HEY!>
<Ire> Squirrel: *ninja flips over the katana and attacks Unoria's legs*
* Firebird 's telepathy reaches those outside clearly, since he's not focusing it
* Firebird tries to grab the squirrel
<Unoria> AAH~!
* Unoria shakes her leg
<Dahok> I hear a squirrel..
<Ire> GM: *Unoria shaking her leg knees Firebird in the groin as he goes to grab the squirrel*
* Ire looks at Pope, Infinity, and Dahok.
<Ire> What the hell is going on in there?
<Firebird> {GAAACK!} *stumbles back*
<Dahok> I can hear a squirrel....That's all I know
* Pope shrugs. "Orgy?"
<Unoria> Oh GOD! I'm Sooooooo Sorry!!! *kneels down beside Firebird* Are you okay?!?!
<Firebird> <Fine. I think...> *groans*
<Ire> Squirrel: *humps her leg*
<Pope> Oh fuck this.
<Firebird> <Next time, try going down on me a little easier...>
* Pope takes a few steps back and kicks the door
* Infinity smiles at Pope, other thoughts racing through her head
<Unoria> O.O *smacks the squirrel away*
<Ire> GM: *the door opens*
<Ire> Squirrel: *is smacked against the wall and KOed*
<Unoria> Are you SURE your okay??!!
* Infinity peeks in, and begins laughing hysterically.
<Firebird> <I'm fine.> *stands up*
<Unoria> I feel sooo horrible, there you were trying to get the Squirrel away from me!
* Ire looks in, even his neutral expression lighter.
* Firebird grabs the squirrel by the tail
* Unoria stands up beside Firebird.. looking at Infinity.. "What?"
<Pope> ...This is the shittiest orgy I've ever witnessed.
<Firebird> ...Can we help you?
* Dahok looks at the squirrel
<Unoria> .....Orgy? *is confused*
<Ire> Going down a little easier?
* Firebird ignites a claw and points it at the crew
* Pope looks at the squirrel
<Firebird> <I'm NOT drunk any more!>
* Infinity eyes Unoria, and then the squirrel, "Makes a good soup when not involved in strange orgies."
<Pope> Bloody hell? It's supposed to be a gerbil!
<Unoria> .... O.o Gerbil?
* Firebird starts to say something, but instead gapes at Pope
* Ire nods slowly, then reaches over and shuts the door again.
<Ire> Lets head up to the 3rd floor and leave them alone.
<Unoria> I.... *stops, and drops her head, blushing*
* Dahok follows behind Ire
<Infinity> ...I think Pope ruined the mood.
* Ire moves up the stairs to the control room.
<Pope> Damn straight I did. Not even invitin' me, I'm insulted.
<Infinity> Oh, make your own party.
* Pope puts his arm around Infinity's waist
<Pope> Alright, you're invited, luv.
<Unoria> Soooo... *looks at Firebird*
* Ire takes a seat in the dark.
<Unoria> That was kinda akward... I think... *by the dim candle light, her face is quite red*
* Infinity blinks, her body tensing a bit. She looks at him, and for a long moment smiles, actually wanting to be held. She pulls away after a moment, with some reluctance, "I meant a party for one."
* Pope puts his arms up in the air
<Infinity> Just shut up and kiss me.
<Firebird> <Eh... things happen. Vivid imaginations can create some weird ideas...>
* Pope blinks and looks at Infinity
<Pope> ...Right, I'm drunk again.
<Infinity> No, think you've sobered.
<Pope> Right.
<Ire> Squirrel: *swings back in forth in Firebird's hands*
* Pope grabs Infinity and pulls her into a kiss
<Unoria> .... it doesn't surprise me with Pope tho.. So, Whatcha wanna do?
* Firebird drops the squirrel and sits on the bed opposite Unoria's
* Infinity gasps at the suddenness, and then after a second, remembers how to kiss, and kisses him back.
<Firebird> <I'm wishing they'd hurry up and get the power going again right now...>
<Dahok> So....what do you want to do Ire?
* Unoria takes a seat on the other side of the bed. "Yeah, suppose this proves how much we actually rely on technology..."
<Unoria> We can't even find things to do when the power goes out...
<Firebird> <That it does.> *fades from Burning Warrior and lights a candle*
<Ire> Forget about this day.
<Unoria> I usually like to play a game, or cards to pass the time. But I bet that sounds really childish.
* Dahok smurks
* Pope rests his forehead against Infinity's
<Firebird> <Not really.> *produces a deck from his pocket* <There's nothing childish about cards at all.>
<Pope> My room's empty, ya know...
<Unoria> ooh! What's your game?
<Ire> NRP: Strip Poker!
<Dahok> I'm gonna sleep this night off man...*turns and heads off to his bed, his eye's adjusted to the darkness*
<Dahok> NRP: Just gonna say that.
<Firebird> <I've always been good at poker, but ladies first.>
* Infinity closes her eyes, resting lightly against Pope, "....it's been a long time since I...." She takes a deep breath, "well.... a long time."
* Ire nods, Dahok moving down to Floor 2 and his room.
* Unoria smiles. "like to take a seaton the floor? I always found it hard to play on the bed."
<Firebird> <Sure. We need somewhere to put the cards, anyway.> *starts shuffling as he moves to the floor*
<Pope> I'll help ya with that, luv. *grins and starts leading Infinity towards his room*
* Unoria pounces to the floor, and sits cross legged adjacent to Firebird, watching his hands shuffle.
* Ire sits alone in the control room. He rolls over to the desk where his handguns are, looking at them in the dark.
* Infinity lets him lead her, her hand tightly grasping his, "....you should probably know something...."
* Pope stops
* Firebird performs a trick where he shuffles the card in a stream over his head, then across his chest and back to the original hand
<Infinity> I'm not like any other gal you've nailed.
<Pope> ...This ain't 'The Cryin' Game', is it?
<Unoria> Whoa... Now that was cool!! *is truly impressed*
* Infinity shakes her head, "I don't think so... Never seen it anyhow." She leans close to him and whispers, "I'm not human; I'm Chiere."
<Firebird> <Just a little trick I picked up back at school. What's your pleasure?>
* Pope scratches his head
* Infinity pulls back to looks at his reaction.
<Unoria> Lets play some stri... *clears her throat* Lets play some poker. ^^
<Pope> That's a new one.
<Firebird> <Strip poker, eh... last time I played that was with the Alpha Gamma Delta girls. Man, that was a fun night.> *laughs a bit*
<Infinity> You can't tell anyone.
* Pope holds up his hand
<Unoria> You playin strip poker? Nawww! Can't see it! *giggles and winks*
<Pope> I swear on the ashes of me dead mum. God rest 'er soul.
<Firebird> <I guess that means you don't know me well enough, then.> *winks back* <Ok, five card draw, deuces wild.> *flips out the cards*
<Unoria> Haven't played Poker for a while, lets hope I'm as good as I used to be. ^.~
* Infinity smiles softly at him, "Thank you..." She whispers.
* Firebird glances over his cards
<Ire> ...Tikal...
* Ire sighs.
* Unoria looks at her cards.
<Firebird> They say poker is the best way to look into a person's soul. Some people have perfected reading a person's "poker face" to the point of being able to tell everything about a person... their personalities, their lives, their ideals... their bluffs. *smirks*
<Unoria> Uh oh! That won't help my game out any then!! *smiles* Wellll, any throw-outs?
* Ire picks up one of the handguns, turning it in his hands.
* Firebird tosses two cards down
<Firebird> And how many for you?
* Unoria strokes her chin in thought, then throws out 1.
*** Garland is now known as Stark
<Firebird> Ooh, gutsy.
* Firebird flips her one card, then draws his own two
<Unoria> Probably more confident then I should be. *takes the card and looks at it*
* Infinity reaches out, and takes Pope's hand should he let her. She kisses it, "Lead the way."
* Stark is about in the headquarters building
<Firebird> Of course, they also say that the best card players are those that can completely mask themselves... but what kind of person is it that can do that?
<Firebird> Kind of makes me think of snipers. Everything for that one moment...
<Pope> Me pleasure, luv. *grins and leads her to his room again*
* Firebird shakes his head quickly as if shaking off the thoughts
* Infinity follows him
* Unoria smiles at the comparison.. "..what?"
<Firebird> I'm letting my mind wander again. *grins* What are you holding?
<Unoria> You show first. *smiles*
* Ire lays the handgun down.
<Ire> GM: *the rain continues to hammer the building*
<Firebird> Works for me. *spins the cards around in his hand* Straight, king high.
* Stark heads down to the first floor, looking around.
<Unoria> Awww. Darn. *pouts*
* Pope reaches his door and turns back to Infinity
<Firebird> Bad hand?
<Pope> Well, 'ere we are, Ayn.
<Unoria> Yeah, I mean look at it! *shows 3 Aces and 2 Kings*
* Unoria smiles wide
<Ire> GM: *the communicator crackles, barely, on the third floor*
<Firebird> *raises an eyebrow* Not bad, not bad... natural full house.
* Infinity looks to Pope, a nervous smile on her face. She nods, "That's right." She licks her dry lips, and tucks some of her wet hair behind her ear, "Here we are."
* Firebird shrugs his jacket off, folds it, and puts it on the bed
* Unoria giggles. "Luck, doesn't happen often with me."
* Pope smiles slightly at Infinity and opens the door
<Unoria> ... *eyes Firebird taking off his jacket* Whatcha do that for?
* Infinity slips through, and into his room. Unlike past times, whe she walks like she owns the place, now she walks in like a guest. She eyes her cloak that's already on the floor.
<Firebird> Warm, or a challenge to play strip poker. You make the call. *grins*
* Pope shuts the door lightly
<Pope> So, make yerself at home.
* Ire rolls the chair over to the communicator, trying to strengthen it.
* Unoria chuckles almost nervously. "Alright, I'll take a lil of both, Come on, deal again!"
* Infinity turns to look at Pope. She nods, and settles herself in the lotus position on the bed. She blushes a bit, "....Haven't felt at home in a long time Pope."
* Firebird reshuffles and flips out the cards. "Same game."
* Ire fiddles with it, the storm distorting the signal.
* Unoria picks up her hand slowly and looks it over.
* Firebird examines his hand - and winces
* Unoria throws to the floor, 4 cards.
* Pope runs his hand through his hair as he looks at Infinity. For once, he's not wearing his sunglasses, so there's an unobstructed view of his eyes. He leans against the desk, looking slightly uncomfortable
<Firebird> Hmm, time for a rule choice. Want to show aces at the draw or at the call?
* Ire looks at the computer, still on standby due to the backup generators. He plugs the radio into the port, risking a power drain from the computer reserves.
<Pope> So...you're a Chiere, eh?
<Unoria> Call. ^^
<Firebird> Works for me. I'd rather play that way anyway. *smirks and tosses her four cards*
* Infinity looks into his eyes, and nods slowly. Her posture is relaxed, yet perfect. "....Yeah. I am." She glances down, "....I don't tell many, it's not good to be alien in these parts."
* Unoria takes her four cards and tilts her head at the,
<Unoria> (them)
* Firebird thinks, then drops one card and replaces it
* Firebird winces again
<Firebird> Ok, I'll call you this time.
<Unoria> Well, since you went last time, I guess I'll show mine first.
* Pope looks somewhat sad as he studies her. "Yeah, it ain't, luv."
<Unoria> Heh. alrighty!
<Pope> What in the bloody 'ell are you doin' on this god-forsaken shithole of a planet, anyway?
* Unoria shows two 10's, a 9, a Queen and a 3.
* Ire tilts the dials on the communicator, making our brief blurbs of words.
* Firebird flips his cards around, revealing two nines, a deuce, and four, and a king
<Firebird> And with deuces wild, that's three nines.
* Infinity sighs softly, catching his discomfort. The wall she has begins to build at his unease. She then looks up, "Where else should i go? Besides, I came here before the war, to see what life on other planets was like!"
<Unoria> Awwww! *jokingly pouts, a giggle arising from behind it. Alright alright, fair enough!!! *takes off the 'skirt' that lays over her pants.*
<Ire> "~~~gen~~." *Ire frowns and thwaps the communicator*
<Firebird> We're both wearing too much. *snickers* Ok, you deal this one.
<Pope> Whoa, whoa, hold on, luv, I didn't mean it like that. I only meant Earth ain't exactly Mary Margeret Sunshine towards the ETs, it's just dicey to be comin' 'ere.
<Unoria> Ooh. I'm not good at dealing. Oh well! *takes the cards and begins to shuffle.. Then cuts the deck and two and tries to do the 'fancy' shuffling, but the cards go flying into the air.*
* Infinity nods slowly, "....Well, I was here before the war, and there's no way off for me." She shrugs, and then looks up, "Are you okay with this?"
<Unoria> Oh crap.... *blushes*
<Firebird> Hey, it's cool. *gathers the cards and begins straightening them* So... what's your story? Why did you join up with the police? Back when we were searching for Slasher, that is...
* Pope holds up his hands as a sign of peace. "I'm fine with it, just lookin' out fer your best interests."
<Dahok> NRP: Infinity: Did you just say Breasts?
* Infinity chuckles as she sees him, "Alright....You know, that posture looks foolish."
<Unoria> I had to do something with my life... It was a rather uneventful life working as a waitress.. How about you? What made your decide?
*** Dahok has quit IRC (Read error: Connection reset by peer)
<Unoria> (decision!)
<Firebird> Similar story, really... college life was getting to me. A friend of mine's dad is on the force, so when I heard this squad was forming, I decided to take a break and put some action into my life. Looks like that idea was shot down pretty quickly, though... I'll probably be going back to VSU next semester.
<Unoria> Yeah, I'm kinda disappointed they took us off the mission. I think there is more behind it then just what they are telling us.
* Pope chuckles slightly and comes over, sitting next to her. "Is this better for you, luv?"
<Firebird> Of course there is. We were trying to dig up something that was better off left covered, and the higher-ups wussed out.
* Infinity nods, "Oh... much..." She leans lightly against him, closing her eyes. She's wet, and the water rubs off on him.
<Infinity> ...Pope, why are you here?
<Unoria> Go figure... hey, mind if I change into something more comfortable? these clothes are uncomfy to just be siting on the floor in.
<Firebird> Go for it.
* Ire bonks the communicator.
<Stark> Ire.
* Ire has a handgun aimed at Stark briefly, then lowers it.
<Ire> Stark.
* Ire turns to face him.
<Stark> ...
* Ire looks at him, barely seeing him in the darkness of the room.
* Pope glances down at Infinity then back up, not looking at anything particularly. "Me supes wanted to get rid of me. I 'ad a rippin' collar record, but they weren' pleased with my methods. So I was shipped off here to 'assist' the yanks to find that Slasher bloke."
<Stark> Did you kill Tikal?
* Ire goes deathly silent. His expression cannot be seen in the dark.
<Infinity> Then why are you still here?
* Ire rises in the dark, holding both handguns at this point
<Ire> ...what...did you just accuse me of?
<Unoria> Thanks! *grabs some clothes from her drawer and stands behind a paper/bamboo wall-type thing and begins to change.
* Pope sits there, stunned
* Stark narrows his eyes.
<Pope> I...bloody 'ell, I don't know...
<Stark> Your logs don't account for where you were during it--and there's not many other people that could have done it that quietly.
* Ire clears his throat, his voice shakey now
* Infinity lowers her eyes, "....sorry...." She then looks to him, "That's why i left."
<Ire> You think I killed Captain Tikal...
<Stark> You're a suspect.
* Ire aims the handgun right at Stark
<Ire> I did no such thing, Ensign.
<Pope> *looks at Infinity with slight confusion*...Cause I'm still 'ere?
* Stark stands steadfast.
* Unoria hands trouble getting off her top and falls into the paper wall and falls to the ground... " oh god...."
<Infinity> No, that's why I came back. I left becuase.... we're never going to find slasher this way.
<Ire> I did no such thing.
<Stark> Hard to take your words at face value with a barrel in my face.
* Stark studies Ire.
* Ire turns harshly, holding both handguns. He aims the handguns at the wall and fires twice.
<Firebird> ...Hey, you ok?
* Ire turns and marches up the stairs to the roof.
* Firebird springs up and offers her a hand up
* Unoria struggles to pull her top back down...
<Pope> Well, considerin' the bullet we were reassigned, I don't wager it's our problem anymore.
<Stark> Hrm.
* Ire shoves the door open and walks into the heavy rain and wind, almost losing his balance. He stands there in the rain, head lowered.
<Infinity> to what? cases that are jokes?
* Stark quietly follows Ire, silent.
* Ire doesn't acknowledge Stark's presence. He stands there in the roaring wind and rain, holding both handguns losely in his hands as he looks at the roof floor.
* Unoria pulls her top back down and sits back on her knees... holding back tears.
<Pope> ...bollocks, you've got a pont.
<Infinity> ...I sometimes do.
* Stark stands silent, an ominous figure in the rain.
* Ire faces Stark in the rain, holding both handguns still, tilted at the roof.
<Firebird> Hey, what's the matter?
* Stark eyes him.
* Pope looks at Infinity's chest, then back at her face. "You've got two right now."
* Ire looks at Stark, his eyes narrowed. His face masks the pain he's feeling.
<Firebird> Not embarrassed because I saw you without a top, are you?
* Unoria drops her head into her hands... "I'm so.. clutzy and I can't help it.... "
* Infinity blushes slightly, and pushes at Pope, gently
* Pope wraps his arm around Infinity's shoulder and pulls her close
* Stark holds his gaze.
<Ire> I didn't kill her, Stark Harlequin.
<Firebird> Well... we all have our weaknesses, I suppose.
* Ire has become instantly soaked, his black hair flattened by the rain.
* Unoria sniffs, and wipes away a few tears...
* Infinity smiles, and looks into his eyes. She shivers, as she's wet and the coolness has caught up with her. The flashlight falls from her hands.
* Ire lets the handguns drop from his hands onto the rooftop.
* Firebird kneels and puts a hand on Unoria's shoulder
<Firebird> But it's never anything to get so upset about. We just have to kind of accept it and move on, ya know?
* Unoria looks into Firebirds eyes, through the dim light. "Suppose.. better you then Pope, eh.. ?"
* Stark shifts slightly
* Ire maintains his posture, looking at Stark. He seems angry, but at what is unknown.
<Firebird> Yeah...
* Pope feels Infinity shiver and pulls a blanket over her. "'Ell, girl, you'll catch your bloody death, you need to get out of them wet skivs."
* Unoria smiles at Firebird, looking at him with tender eyes.
<Stark> I plan to find out who did it.
<Ire> GM: *around them, various streets and areas are under at least 1-2 feet of water*
<Ire> So do I.
<Ire> And I promised her I'd find out the truth about Slasher. I will not fail my last order from her.
* Infinity smiles at the warmth, and nods, "...But I don't have any other clothes. This is it."
* Pope nudges her and grins. "Wear some of mine."
* Firebird gazes into her eyes, seeming to soften a bit himself
* Ire lets his idle hands tighten into fists.
* Infinity laughs, "Alright."
<Infinity> ...What do you have for me to wear?
* Stark nods once.
<Ire> GM: *lightning flashes in the background, illuminating both men in it's light*
* Unoria doesn't want to say anything to ruin the comforting silence, so just continues to gaze at Firebird.
* Pope points beside Infinity to a standard complex closet full of his clothes
<Pope> Lady's choice.
* Ire eyes Stark in the light before it dims into blackness once again.
* Infinity smiles, "...thanks..." She gets up, holding the blanket around her tightly. She goes through the stuff in the closet, and afer a few minutes, slips into a pair of loose fitting leather pants, and she finds a red button down.
* Pope whistles
* Infinity rolls her eyes, but smiles, "Much warmer..." She wiggles her toes through the carpet, drying them
* Ire bends down and picks up the handguns and holsters them.
* Ire straightens back up, assuming Stark will be gone when he glances in that direction.
* Stark is still there.
<Pope> You also don't resemble a drowned rat anymore. *smirks and stretches his legs out*
* Ire faces him in the darkness again, shifting his body like that of someone who is an aggressor.
<Infinity> A drowned rat died happier than a desert rat.
<Stark> Based on your expression---I'm not batman. I can't just appear and disappear at a glance.
* Stark turns and head down.
<Pope> And a dead rat's still a dead rat.
* Infinity ambles over to him, and settles down beside him
<Infinity> We're all dead Pope; we just don't know it yet.
<Firebird> You know... this is really... strange... I've known you for a grand total of ten days, yet...
* Pope grins and looks into her eyes. "We might all be dead, but some of us are more dead than others."
<Infinity> God has it in for each of us, we don't know how, but we know one day he'llbring his finger down upon us and squish.
<Ire> GM: *As Stark passes the communicator, still on, clearly the word 'emergency' is heard*
<Unoria> Yeah... and what's stranger is.... it's taken me this long to notice how cute you are.. *smiles*
* Ire turns to look out at the blackness of Mega City, which has no power.
* Infinity looks at him, "And what keeps us less dead?"
* Ire walks towards the edge of the roof and leans ag ainst it.
* Pope pokes Infinity in the chest
<Pope> That.
* Infinity looks at him oddly, "...my spleen?"
* Firebird smiles for a moment. The moment finally gets him, and he leans in and kisses Unoria.
* Ire grips the slippery edge, staring out at his city.
* Unoria is absolutely shocked, but returns the kiss*
<Pope> No, luv, your tits.
<Infinity> ....I don;t get it.
* Firebird draws back and sighs
<Firebird> I never have been much on subtlety, have I...
<Firebird> I'm sorry for that, Unoria.
<Unoria> ...What's to be sorry for?
<Ire> GM: *off in the distance, a firey light shines. A fireball of an explosion rises in the air. He blinks*
* Pope laughs, closing his eyes and shkaing his head. "I'm funnyin' ya, Ayn. Your heart, luv."
* Ire looks forward, seeing it since he was on the roof.
<Infinity> oh.... that's here... *takes Pope's hand and places it to the side a bit, and down*
<Ire> Communicator: ~~~gency. We have a group attacking~~~~~~~~ some of Janus' ~~~~~~~ shipments that got~~~~~ld up in the ~~~orm.
* Pope blinks. "That's a 'ell of a place for it."
<Ire> ....
* Ire leaps off the side of the roof and slides down the wall. As he passes the second floor, he kicks off the side and lands crouched in a foot of water.
* Infinity smiles, "God has a sense of humour."
<Firebird> I... hell, I just don't know any more... that's another reason I left VSU... my instinctiveness was getting me into trouble. Taking risks I shouldn't... staying out late, getting drunk, missing classes because of it... *sighs*
* Ire stands up, soaked, and begins to slosh through the water towards the still glowing light of the fire.
* Unoria holds out her hand, in hopes Firebird will take it... "Hey.... I didn't mean to bring back 'old memories' I'm sorry.."
<Pope> Probably loves those priest, rabbi, and a reverend jokes.
<Infinity> ...Maybe.
<Firebird> It's nothing you did... it's been on my mind ever since I've been here. You know, that doing something on a gut reaction would screw me over...
* Infinity leans over and kisses Pope on the lips
* Pope falls back onto the bed as Infinity kisses him
<Unoria> Sometimes doing something on a gut reaction makes things better then they once were before. *smiles softly*
* Unoria pulls back her hand, and runs her leg.
*** Ripple has left #taw
<Unoria> Hey, nothing bad happened did it? *runs her hand along Firebird's cheek* Things are fine.
* Ire is off fighting the forces of evil.
<Infinity> ...you should come with me Pope.
* Pope looks up at Infinity
* Firebird takes her hand
<Pope> Come with you? Where?
<Infinity> Anywhere but here.
<Firebird> Maybe... yeah, you're right. It's time to take my own advice and... move on.
<Pope> I'm low on gas and you don't have a jacket.
* Unoria grasps Firebird's hand softly. "You should trust yourself more. I know I'm not regretting a simple kiss." Smiles.
<Infinity> Then what do we do?
* Pope sighs lightly, smiling at Infinity. "Joke, don't worry 'bout it."
* Infinity kisses his forhead and lays beside him, "...I was being serious."
<Pope> I think we should stay 'ere.
<Firebird> ...You know what I think?
* Ire stands in a two feet of water, having taken down the bandits.
* Infinity grins, "....and do what?"
<Unoria> ... You think I'm dead sexy right!? *giggles and winks*
<Pope> And screw like mad rabbits in heat.
* Ire turns and wades through the flooding city back towards the police area.
<Infinity> Alright, then.
<Firebird> Indeed I do... *focused* <Indeed I do...>
<Unoria> Yah know what I think?
* Ire reaches Building 38. Realizing he's locked out, he begins to scale the side of the wall, making lots of noise as he does so.
<Firebird> Hmm?
<Infinity> But Pope...
* Ire leans against the side of Unoria's window, banging against it. He then grips the side and climbs to the right some to reach a drain pipe next to Pope's room. He bangs against the window as he grabs it, climbing up.
<Ire> GM: *The rain finally stops falling*
* Pope jumps sharply as he hears the banging
<Pope> What the-
<Unoria> I think that your too irresistible not to kiss again. ^^
* Infinity yelps as she falls off the bed
* Pope slaps his face. "...Whoops"
* Ire grips the edge of the roof, trying to pull himself up, but the slippery brick makes it difficult.
* Firebird ignores the banging, rather caught up in the moment
* Pope looks over the side of the bed at down at Infinity. "Was it good for you, luv?"
* Ire begins to lose his grip as he attempts to swing himself up.
<Firebird> I'll take that as an offer.
* Unoria leans towards Firebird and kisses his bottom lip softly.
* Stark walks over to the ledge and looks at Ire.
* Infinity looks up, rubbing her head, "....so that's how you procreate? It's a wonder your species is still alive."
* Ire looks up at Stark.
* Firebird smiles as best he can and returns the kiss
<Stark> I won't ask...
<Ire> GM: *lightning flashes in the background, illuminating both of them again*
* Stark offers a hand.
* Ire hesitates, then reaches up with his right hand to grab Stark's hand.
* Stark pulls Ire up in a fluid motion.
* Pope climbs out of the bed and helps Infinity up
* Ire lands on the solid roof again. He's more wet than Stark last saw him.
* Unoria lays her other hand on Firebird's cheek, letting the kiss linger.
* Infinity stands, with Pope's help. She rolls her eyes, "There'll be no more of that if I'm on top."
<Pope> I'll probably be too worn out to do any jumpin'. *winks at her*
<Ire> ...thank you.
* Infinity rolls her eyes, and gives him a playful push towards the bed.
* Ire stands there, holding his cut shoulder.
<Pope> Ahh! *falls back onto the bed again*
* Ire walks back inside the third floor room right as the power is restored.
<Pope> If I didn't know any better, I'd say you enjoy having me on me backside.
* Infinity pounces onto the bed, and blinks as the lights come on. She looks at him, her hair falling into her face, "I just like pushing you around."
* Ire looks up at the light, wincing at it.
<Firebird> Hmm... lights are back on... *shrugs*
<Pope> Next thing you know, you'll be breakin' out the whips an' chains. *smirks up at Infinity*
* Unoria stands up. "Hold on!" Goes to the light switch in her room, and turns it off*
* Ire walks down the stairs until he's on bottom step to the 2nd floor hallway. He then sits on it, silent.
<Firebird> I like the way you think.
* Infinity shakes her head, "....No." She lays next to Pope, "Turn off the lights."
* Firebird moves to Unoria's bed and sits down
<Unoria> I like the way I think sometimes too... *sits right beside Firebird*
<Pope> Right. *throws a book at the lightswitch*
* Ire lowers his head, water dripping onto the floor as he thinks.
* Infinity chuckles, and kisses Pope again.
<Infinity> ...Pope?
* Unoria snuggles up closely to Firebird, and leans her head on his shoulder.
<Pope> Yeah, luv?
* Ire leans back against the stairs, resting his head against them as he looks up at the ceiling.
* Firebird puts his arm around Unoria's shoulder
<Infinity> If we do this... I'm not looking for sex or a one night thrill. I'm in this for you - for a thing with you.
* Unoria puts her arm behind Firebird back.. "Ticklish?"
<Firebird> Yipe! *jumps*
<Ire> .oO (It's finally quiet. No one is bothering me. Yet ... it feels wrong.)
* Pope puts his hand on the side of Infinity's face. "I can handle that."
<Unoria> Oooh! you are!!!
<Firebird> No... no I'm not!
* Unoria perks up and goes towards Firebird, tickling fingers ready and all!*
* Infinity smiles but her eyes tear up for a moment. She takes a deep breath of air and presses her face against Pope's chest.
<Firebird> Cut it out! *laughs uncontrollably as he falls backwards* C'mon, knock it off! *continues laughing*
* Ire eyes the room giving off the laughing.
* Pope holds Infinity to his chest and kisses the top of her head
* Unoria pushes Firebird to the floor, sits on top of him and continues to tickle him!
* Ire stands up and unlocks his room, next to Unoria's. He pushes the door open and steps in.
* Ire closes the door behind him.
* Infinity looks up at him, and smiles. For once, that wall of mystery's down, and Pope can see a person who's happy in that minute, but someone who's known sadness and anger and loneliness. She kisses his chest lightly, "...thank you."
<Firebird> Come on already! *obvious he doesn't want her to stop*
<Pope> It's my pleasure, Ayn.
*** Stark is now known as Garland
*** Garland has quit IRC (Quit: )
<Infinity> No, but it will be.
* Ire turns on some classical music to tune out the laughing Firebird is emitting
* Unoria puts a hand over Firebirds eyes, and continues to tickle him.
* Pope laughs. "I like the sound of that."
* Ire flops into bed, still wearign his soaking clothes. He closes his eyes, but doesn't sleep
* Firebird continues laughing and thrashing, but doesn't put much effort into the thrashing
* Infinity smiles, and curls up besides Pope, "I thought you might."
<Unoria> Aww, come on, I know you can put up more of a fight then that!!
<Firebird> Oh... really? Just remember...
<Unoria> Just rememberrrrr?????
* Firebird quickly pushes Unoria to the floor and sits on her
<Firebird> You asked for it!
* Firebird starts tickling her much as she was him
<Unoria> GACK!
* Unoria tries to smack his hands away!!
<Firebird> Payback sucks, doesn't it? *grins*
* Ire sighs, eyeing Unoria's room.
<Ire> ...kids.
* Ire looks back up at the ceiling, closing his eyes.
<Unoria> YES! *decides defending herself won't work, so she grabs him, pulls him down and kisses him.*
* Infinity eyes the laughter herself, and smiles, "Human mating rituals are so strange."
<Firebird> Mmph!
* Unoria wraps her arms around Firebird, and doesn't let go, and doesn't stop kissing him.
<Pope> You have no idea, lady.
<Infinity> I'm sure I will sometime... ::she smiles drozily at Pope:: Well, goodnight
* Ire grunts, grabs the old magazine and lotion.
* Pope smiles back
<Pope> G'night, luv.
* Infinity wraps an arm around Pope, and rests her head on his shoulder. Her eyes close, and a few minutes later, she;s fast asleep, sleeping her usual fitful sleep.
* Pope soon follows suit
* Unoria finally lets go of Firebird.
*** Pope is now known as X1
*** Infinity has quit IRC (Quit: Love is the size of the tumours inside us.)
* Firebird rolls to the side and lies there
* Unoria nudges Firebird.. "Whaa?"
<Firebird> They say spontenaity is the spice of life. Or something like that. But this floor's frigging uncomfortable. *grins*
<Unoria> Jeez... whatever could you be suggesting?!! *chuckles*
* Firebird stands up and offers Unoria a hand up
* Unoria accepts the hand and gets up
* Firebird pulls Unoria up and kisses her on the upswing, leading her to her bed
* Unoria doesn't have time to respond to the kiss, but enjoys it. "Now, I could never imagine why you would want to be on the bed!" Giggles.
<Firebird> I wonder. *grins*
* Unoria kisses Firebird quickly before hopping onto the bed.
* Firebird almost too eagerly joins her
* Unoria lays back, and looks to the ceiling.
* Unoria spokes Firebird in the side.
<Firebird> Sorry... this is just kind of awkward. *leans down and kisses her* I've never really been... attached to someone before. But you... this feels, I dunno, right.
* Unoria blinks, a confused look crosses her face.
<Firebird> Let's just say... I think this is more than either of us thinks...
* Firebird kisses Unoria, long and passionately
* Unoria accepts the kiss, and returns it. "Is cuddlin' alright.. ?"
<Firebird> My thoughts exactly...
<Unoria> ^^
* Unoria hauls Firebird down next to her.
* Unoria lays her head on Firebird's chest and cuddles close.
* Firebird puts his arm around Unoria
<Unoria> *softly* you're pretty comfy yah know?
* Firebird smiles but doesn't say anything
* Unoria kisses Firebird softly on the side of his neck.

<Firebird> Good morning. I think. *smirks*
* Unoria yawns and looks up, smiling. "Mornin' to you too!"
<Firebird> Not exactly morning, though. *points at Unoria's clock* I think we slept in a little...
* Unoria rubs her eyes and glances at the clock. "I guess we did sleep in. How did you sleep?"
<Firebird> Better than I've slept in months. *grins*
* Unoria smiles, glad that Firebird slept well. "Never actually fell asleep with someone before. Was quite comforting actually. "
* Unoria stretches again, wiggling her toes and fingers
* Ire slides a folder to the side, then grabs a marker and marks some things.
*** Ripple has left #taw
* Firebird puts his hands behind his head and relaxes
* Unoria lays her head back on Firebird's chest. "So, what do you think the others did after they barged in here last night?"
<Firebird> Knowing pope, they screwed all night like mad rabbits in heat.
<Firebird> But knowing Infinity, they probably did exactly what we did. Which was great itself. *grins*
<Unoria> Who knows, Pope might have a soft side! *giggles and gives Firebird a kiss* I musta fallen asleep quickly. Your just too comfy!
* Dahok begins trading blows with the sim
* Dahok locks hands with the sim and starts to push against it
<Firebird> *laughs lightly* Maybe you're right. You're on a roll, Unie. *smirks*
* Dahok swings his hands around and over the sim putting him in a bear hug, he then picks him up and slams him into the floor
<Unoria> Wonder if everybody else slept in as long as we did *flops her arms over Firebird*
* Dahok flips himself up and faces the sim again, who's pulled himself back up again
<Firebird> We were all up kind of late last night, what with the power outage and all.
* Dahok darts foreward throwing a charged Chi uppercut at it, but the Sim dodges to the side and elbows him in the back, sending him to the floor
<Unoria> You'd think people would go to bed early if the power was out. Oh well, I had fun staying up late. *smiles*
* Dahok push's himself up only to get kicked in the ribs
<Dahok> Ooof.
* Ire idly puts down another folder.
* Dahok push's himself up again, this time grabbing the Sim's leg and twisting it, sending him spinning to the floor

* Unoria yawns again. "I don't want to get up!"
<Firebird> It's Sunday. *yawns* I'm not in any hurry to go anywhere.
* Unoria shakes her head and ruffles her hair with one hand. "I love being able to get up and not have to do a thing to my hair.! ^^"
* Ire types a few things, then waits for a print out.
<Firebird> Women. *sighs sarcastically and grins*
<Unoria> I put as much effort into my appearance as guys do. And that's not much!
<Firebird> Very true.
<Ire> GM: *Unoria's door pops open*
* Unoria jerks her head around, as her door opens.
<Unoria> What the?
* Firebird turns
<Firebird> Uh?
* Unoria rolls over to get off the bed, but not realizing she was so close to the edge, she falls to the floor. "Ow.."
