<Cloaked-Sap> To Snipe
<Snipe> Peeeeeerhaps.
<Hotaru-chan> John!
<Diamondback> <That's nice. Now it's my turn.>
<Snipe> GM: *Cue another lightning flash*
* Snipe grins
<Snipe> You wouldn't believe how many cloaked figures are running around today.
<Hotaru-chan> Maybe I should've worn one...
<Snipe> It's the style.
<Cloaked-Sap> It must be winter. All the fashion rage on Earth you know.
* Diamondback jumps into the air and throws his arms down to the side as the lightning strikes. His form distorts briefly, and quickly stabalizes into a half-dragon type form. He stays airborne by beating his new wings, and looks down at DarkHeart cockily.
* Snipe stares at the arena.
<Snipe> ....well....I wasn't expecting that.
<Diamondback> VSU TKE: *go crazy*
* Snipe grabs a chair and runs at the arena, crying out a warcry.
<Hotaru-chan> WHAT THE HELL?!
* Snipe leaps onto the arena and begins to beat at the tail of the dragon with the chair.
<Hotaru-chan> Snipe! Don't interfere with the match!
<Diamondback> <...John, go away.>
* Snipe points at DB
* Cloaked-Sap falls asleep suddenly. "How the hell have I stayed awake in this condition?"
<Snipe> You are nothiiiiing! *poses like WWF wrestlers* I am the king!
* Snipe hops off the arena.
<Seraphna> Elayne> A dragon?
<Diamondback> <...Shall we continue, Dias?>
* Snipe walks past the sleeping CS.
* DarkHeart darts forward launching an all out assault on DB
<Snipe> Eve: *appears behind Snipe. Cue lightning flash and thunder*
<Hotaru-chan> Elly... you'd best not start falling for DB because of that...
* Slasher` looks over at Eve
<Slasher`> You ok?
* Diamondback blocks the blows, launching his own assault simultaneously
*** Cloaked-Sap has quit IRC (Quit: )
<Snipe> Eve: Yeah. *smiles* Who's winning? The dragon or the mutant?
<Seraphna> Elayne> I have Johnny with you and Emmy, why would I?
<Seraphna> Elayne> I'm just interested... I thought only Lunarians were dragons...
<Hotaru-chan> *to Elayne* Good answer.
* DarkHeart begins summoning his Dark Matter, an aura of purple around him appearing
<Hotaru-chan> GO DRAGON!
<Seraphna> Elayne> Hota... you're being cold...
<Snipe> Boooo! Hiss!
* Diamondback surrounds himself with simulated psionic flame
<Hotaru-chan> It still bothers me a little...
<Snipe> Eve: *stretches, obviously in the mood for action herself*
<DarkHeart> NRP: Note, DArk MAtter nulls Psionics
* Slasher` looks at Eve reading her
<Slasher`> Dias is gonna get laid tonight isn't he..
<Snipe> Wooo!
<Seraphna> Elayne> WHat does?
<Snipe> Eve: *grins* Only if I get to kick some ass before the tournament is over.
<Hotaru-chan> That you left at such a delicate time...
* DarkHeart takes blows but presses on his attack
* DarkHeart pushes backwards sending himself to the other side of the arena
<Snipe> I'd fight you, Eve, but I couldn't possibly hit a girl.
<Snipe> Eve: ... *snatches out like lightning and grabs Snipe's arm, bending it behind his back* Oooooh?
<Snipe> Ow! Oooow!
<Snipe> Eve: *cutesy* Who couldn't you possibly hurt, John?
<Snipe> The orphans! Eek! The orphans! *is freed*
* Hotaru-chan giggles
* Diamondback uses the psionic flame to strengthen and speed himself, and presses his assault
* Snipe rubs his arm.
* Slasher` starts laughing at Snipe
<Seraphna> Elayne> *giggles* I had to, otherwise we would never have been able to handle three kids being born at once!
<Snipe> Sheesh. I don't remember Xevil havign a grip like that.
<Hotaru-chan> @.@
<Hotaru-chan> Okay, I no longer blame you for that...
* DarkHeart lets out a howl, the aura exploding around himself, he quickly latches onto DB and begins trying to null out his psionics with his Dark Matter
<Snipe> GM: *a light drizzle begins*
<Slasher`> She did go thru twin births so what do you expect?
<Snipe> Eve: And they were Dias' kids to boot.
* Diamondback growls, forcing against the Dark Matter with a surge of psionic energy
<Diamondback> .oO{I really hope this works...}
<Seraphna> Elayne> Gramps is bringing Aaron and our sibs to the cabin, so we can have a big happy reunion dinner!
<Snipe> Aaron? Which # is he?
<Seraphna> Elayne> We need to give you flash cards or something?
* DarkHeart draws his aura within himself, hoping to catch DB off guard, and throws a full force punch straight into DB's gut
<Snipe> Yes. I just refer to them all as #1, #2.. etc.
<Seraphna> Elayne> He's the first out of two for me...
* Slasher` looks at Snipe and shakes his head
* Snipe looks at Slasher
<Snipe> Whaat! There's too many of them to remember.
<Seraphna> Elayne> The one that smashed a pie in you face last Christmas...
<Hotaru-chan> ... are all Lunarians that prolific?
* Diamondback blocks the shot, but still is forced back a good distance
<Seraphna> *Elayne looks at her* Speak for yourself sisty ^^
* Hotaru-chan blushes
<Seraphna> Elayne> How many have you had again?
<Hotaru-chan> I'll pass on that question... ^^;;
* DarkHeart charges up Dark Matter in his fist and throws a punch at DB again
<Snipe> That's where #3 and 4 came from, right?
* Diamondback blocks the punch, braced this time.
<Seraphna> Elayne> And number 5!
<Seraphna> Elayne> Em covers 6-8. ^^
<Snipe> See what I mean, Slasher?
* Diamondback swings at DH's chest
<DarkHeart> *releases the charged DarkMatter, sending a blast directly into DB's block, possibly nulling his psionics
<Slasher`> Told you, you need to keep one women!
<Slasher`> Trade the rest off for food or something.
<Hotaru-chan> HEY!
<Seraphna> *Elayne giggles, "Uncle Slasher..."
<Diamondback> .oO{That's it, I'm screwed...}
<Slasher`> I'm not your uncle!
<Snipe> Well, usually #1 and #2 stays with Elayne, so I only seem them on special occasions. The rest don't bother me that much and so I'm okay.
<Seraphna> Elayne> Cheryl's my aunt! That makes you my uncle ^^
* DarkHeart takes the shot in the chest
<Slasher`> That's what you think!
* Diamondback 's eyes fade back to their normal colors - but his dragon form remains
<Hotaru-chan> So, DB... why'
* DarkHeart grunts and flips around whapping his tail out at DB
<Hotaru-chan> So, DB... why're you a dragon?
<Seraphna> Elayne> Anyway, Johnny? Mind if we stay with you for a while? Mom's going postal ever since Angel hit full blown puberty...
<Slasher`> Cheryl's not your aunt, seeing as she was Ariel's clone...
<Diamondback> *to Hota* <Just a form I chose... WHOA!>
<Hotaru-chan> O.O
* Diamondback tries to grab the tail
* Snipe leans against Slasher
<Snipe> Welcome to the family tree from hell. This is why I'm single.
<Slasher`> I warned you about mating with Lunarians..
<Hotaru-chan> *to Elly* Oh, I can see that'd be a problem...
<Slasher`> Shame I'm not part of their family..
<Seraphna> Elayne> And Ariel is my aunt, so that makes Cheryl my aunt as well. You'd think I know clones better then almost anybody...
<Snipe> Really. I agree.
* Snipe sips the drink
<Slasher`> Oh but when we married, she signed a document saying I wouldn't be related to any Lunarians..
<Snipe> You're married?
<Slasher`> ....Uhh......Hey is that a rock?
* Diamondback grabs the tail and giant-swings DH, trying to throw him out
<Snipe> Yes, yes it is.
<Seraphna> Elayne> See that's the problem with fine print, I'm only half-Lunarian. ^^
<Hotaru-chan> Same here, not that you're related to me.
<Diamondback> VSU Crowd: *has returned, and start chanting Chris's name*
* DarkHeart tail wraps around DB's hand pulls his own body directly upto DB's face
<Snipe> I'm no even sure who I'm related to!
<Snipe> GM: *The rain remains a light drizzle*
* DarkHeart tail releases it's grip
* Diamondback immediately swings his other fist at DH's face
<Seraphna> *Elayne enjoys the continued torment. "You know Mom put me up to this right Slasher?

* DarkHeart three red lines appear on his cheek
* DarkHeart smiles and relaxes

<Seraphna> Elayne> Thier only bastards if they don;t know who thier father is, and you want to talk to my sisters about that? *grins*
<Slasher`> Hell no, talking to you is more than enough for me for the year!
* Hotaru-chan looks innocent
* Snipe is still looking at flashcards with his kids's names on them
* Diamondback growls
<Snipe> #2 looks weird.
<Slasher`> Actually a bastard child happens when a women his a fatherless child. Hence since your not married to Snipe, they're bastards.
<Snipe> Awww, #3 is adorable with that evil McCormick smile!
* Dias reaches ot his own cheek and touches the blood
* Snipe shows Slasher the picture.
<Slasher`> ....*face goes white*
* Snipe clucks evilly
<Diamondback> <...Uh... ah, crap, sorry dude...>
<Dias> Seems your finally matching your physical power with your psionics...
* Dias reaches his hand out to DB
* Snipe puts the pictures down.

<Seraphna> *Elayne sighs and sits back against Snipe
* Diamondback reverts, and shakes Dias's hand
<Dias> Next year...
* Dias smiles and gives Chris a hug
<Diamondback> <Next year.> *grins*
* Slasher` shakes his head
<Diamondback> <That is, if the studies haven't killed me by then.>
<Slasher`> ...Snipe you really don't seem to care about your kids...Your just a stud you know that? Do you get paid for this? Do they make you pay child support?
<Dias> I'll be sure to get you right when your in finals..
* Dias turns and walks towards Eve
<Snipe> Uh...well.....uh, no I don't get paid, but I don't pay child support!
<Snipe> Eve: *hugs Dias*
* Dias hugs her back
<Dias> The bastard cut me!
<Seraphna> Elayne> Actually, mostly my pay and Grandpa's contributions raise the kids...
<Snipe> Eve: Damn him. You should go throw dirt at him.
* Diamondback holds two fingers to his temple and heals the cuts on Dias's face, then jumps off of the ring
* Dias is already gone
<Dias> NRP: Oh yeah...nevermind
<Diamondback> NRP: Done from a distance.
<Dias> NRP: DAMN YOU AND YOUR PSIONICS!
<Dias> ...Your not gonna beat me up for losing are you?
* Snipe never addresses the caring about the kids comment.
<Diamondback> NRP: Oh yeah. It wouldn't be TAW without 'em. *laughs*
<Snipe> Eve: I already know I could win, so I don't need to bother.
<Dias> Shew...I was worried the neighbors would see me running outside in my boxers again and see the bruises.
<Snipe> Eve: *rolls her eyes*
* Dias smiles
<Snipe> NRP: Okay, Hotaru only has one child, for the record. ;P So 1-3!
<Hotaru-chan> NRP: Right now, at least. ^^;
<Dias> I'm gonna go find the kids I'll meet up with you later honey *kisses her on the cheek and walks off*

<Slasher`> Snipe...*hands him 10 bucks* Seems you did win that bet about having more children...
<Snipe> Wooo!
* Snipe pockets the money.
<Hotaru-chan> NRP: Might have a second, but probably not, since I have no other character ideas yet. ^^;
<Seraphna> NRP: Sounds good, we're just pooking fun anyway ^^
<Slasher`> Well I better get back to Cheryl before she....beats me...up..*looks worried*
<Snipe> You're still abused? *Grins*
<Slasher`> ....Yeah...shut up!! *turns and smacks Snipe on the shoulder*
<Snipe> Hey!
<Slasher`> Eve, I'll be sure to send the kids some gifts...
<Snipe> *the rain begins to pour down now*
<Hotaru-chan> NRP: Gotta love a PURPLE catgon, though. ^^

<Katrina^> Guard 1: Totally.
* Garland walks into the building
<Katrina^> GM: *the place Slasher works is a huge forteen story building, showing off the power Slasher weilds*
<Hotaru-chan> NRP: Wooh, Michiru got in without a check too?
<Katrina^> GM: *Garland has entered the lobby area. A secretary sits there, filing reports*
<Katrina^> NRP: We try to ignore catgons in this place of establishment.
* Garland walks over to the Secratary
*** Hotaru-chan is now known as Michiru
<Garland> I demand audience!
<Katrina^> Secretary: With, uh, who, Mr...?

* Michiru hovers near Garland, blinking.
* Garland facepalms
<Garland> I'm here to see Katrina.
<Katrina^> Secretary: Oh, yes. She is here today, visiting Mr. Slasher. Use that elevator and go up to his office. He's busy at the moment, but you should see her sitting around the office.
<Katrina^> Secretary: It's on the top floor.
* Garland stares at the Secretary
* Michiru flies over to the elevator too, since she doesn't seem to have been noticed.
<Garland> I'm no pevert.
<Katrina^> Secretary: Wait, sir...is that catgon yours?

* Katrina^ looks up from her book, alone in the office.
<Katrina^> ...Mr. Garland?
<Garland> ICE CREAM! CANDY! *looks around demandingly but though as if he doesn't see Kat*
* Katrina^ blinks a few times, then closes her book, giggling.
* Michiru rushes to the voice of Garland
<Garland> .... No ice cream or candy here. *waves Kat over and starts walking*
<Seraphna> *Elayne walks into the building, looking around
<Michiru> ...
* Katrina^ runs after Garland, smiling.
<Seraphna> Elayne> This isn;t good, where'd she run off too...
<Michiru> Heya Kat! ^.^
* Katrina^ blinks, looking at Michiru. She angles her head, then nods.
<Katrina^> Hi, Michiru.
<Seraphna> *Elayne walks up to the front desk
<Katrina^> Secretary: Are you Elayne...?
<Seraphna> *Elayne nodds
* Garland puts his hand on Kat's shoulder and Michiru's.
<Seraphna> Elayne> I'm Elayne Vanguard, yes...
<Garland> TO CANDY!
<Michiru> YAY!
* Garland teleports with them to the candy store
<Katrina^> Secretary: *hits a button and three big men walk in, grabbing Elyane, dragging her off*
<Seraphna> Elayne> HEY!!! LET ME GO!!!
<Michiru> NRP: Slasher's mean...
<Seraphna> Elayne> I'm looking for my neice!!!
* Garland sets the two loose on the candy store
<Katrina^> NRP: Yes.
* Michiru rummages through the candy store, grabbing masses of sugary goodness.

<Katrina^> It's good to see you again, Mr. Garland. *seems happy*
* Garland hands Kat a sack of money
<Garland> Buy all the candy you want.
<Katrina^> *giggles* Oh, this is enough. I don't want to over eat. *seems to be trying to act grown up*
<Seraphna> *Elayne pushes them away and teleports away from them
* Michiru heads back to Garland with lots of candy and a big grin on her face.
<Seraphna> Elayne> I'm in my time of month, do NOT mess with me.
<Michiru> .oO(Nice to not have to act grown up for a change...)
<Katrina^> Secretary: Slasher will explode when he learns of this catgon breach.
* Garland smiles to Kat "Hey, I gotta look after you and keep Slasher's influence off of you."
* Garland pays for the candy
* Katrina^ makes a funny face.
<Seraphna> *Elayne grins
<Katrina^> He keeps telling me to read his book.
<Seraphna> Elayne> I'm a half-catgon.
<Michiru> .oO(Fun to sneak into Slasher's house, too...)
<Seraphna> Elayne> He only banned cat-gons.
<Katrina^> But when I look at it, it has these pictures of men and women doing weird things.
<Seraphna> Elayne> I'm Chiere.
* Garland cackles madly, grabbing a box of pixie sticks.
* Garland stops dead.
* Garland looks at Kat
<Michiru> What's wrong, Gar?
* Katrina^ blinks.
<Garland> Never read Slasher's book.
<Katrina^> Oh, okay.
<Michiru> .oO(I like Gar more than Daddy.)
<Michiru> What's Slasher's book?
<Katrina^> Candy Store Owner: *seems pleased Garland is here.*
<Garland> I think he just cut and pasted pictures from a--yeaaaa...... *pays for the candy and sits*
* Katrina^ sits next to Garland, looking at the blue sky and white clouds
<Seraphna> *Elayne blinks, and teleports to the shop, "Thought I felt a familiar presence..."
* Garland grabs a box of Icing and starts building a house of candy.
<Katrina^> I hear you won the tournament a few months ago, Mr. Garland. Does this mean you're the strongest man in the world?
* Katrina^ eats her candy bars.
<Seraphna> Elayne> Michiru! You in here? You're mother is going to have a corinary if I can;t find you!
<Garland> I'm not worried about that, Kat, and neither should you be.
* Katrina^ nods.
* Michiru munches on candy, looking innocent
<Seraphna> *Elayne walks up behind Michiru and grabs her ina a hug
* Garland rears his head back, lauing in a badly-done evil tone, building a house of candy
* Katrina^ sees Elayne, raising an eyebrow.
* Michiru hugs Elly back. "I was visiting Kat an' Garly!"
<Seraphna> Elayne> *giggles* That's good dear, but your mom is worried sick...
<Katrina^> *grins, using big words she read* I think you have stall--ker's following you, Mr. Garland.
<Michiru> Why's Mr. Slasher not like catgons?
* Garland looks around frantically "What!? Again!? Oh, just you, Kat! *gives her a noogie*
* Katrina^ laughs.
<Seraphna> Elayne> Prolly since he and Mom are tooth and nail rivals.
<Seraphna> *ELayne giggles, "Kat, how are you?"
<Katrina^> I'm fine, Miss. Elayne. *says politely*
<Garland> Behold! *finishes the building*
* Katrina^ laughs at the building
<Katrina^> Niiice!
<Michiru> Candy house!
* Garland shows off the candy-house to them.
* Garland sets it down on the ground

<Garland> Attack of Garzilla, Michzilla, and Katzilla!
* Garland makes godzilla sounds and tears out a wall, eating it
* Katrina^ joins in, eating the roof.
* Michiru joins the duo, happily devouring the candy house
<Seraphna> *Elayne smiles, watching, not too keen on sweets.
* Katrina^ stops after a bit, not quite into candy as she was when she was younger.
<Garland> Yes, little ones, Gingerbread men have no defense against our insatiable apetite for their sugar-coated buildings!
*** Sage` has joined #TAW
*** Sage` has left #TAW
* Michiru does a cute little attempt at an evil laugh, then continues to devour
<Katrina^> You're always funny, Mr. Garland.
<Garland> Funny, or diabolical? *quirks his brow, grinning*
<Seraphna> Elayne> I'd say... ummm... Funny. ^^;
<Michiru> Me too! ^.^
<Katrina^> Devious!
<Garland> Silence, for I am the ultimate evil.... I will destroy you all!-----after I finish this cup-cake. *shoves it into his face*
<Michiru> NRP: <Michiru> I'm the diabolical one! *plants plush catgons in Slasher's room*
<Katrina^> Squirrel: *rushes in, chittering*
<Seraphna> *Elayne giggles
<Michiru> O.o
<Garland> Squirrel power! Woot! *puts out his hand to high-five the squirrel*
<Katrina^> Squirrel: *returns the high-five, putting on his shades*
* Katrina^ pets the squirrel.
<Seraphna> *Bus the squirrel a package of chocolate covered nuts
* Michiru pets the squirrel too, now.
<Seraphna> *Elayne
<Michiru> .oO(I'll get you next time Slasher... next time...)
<Garland> You've all met the Squirrel, my partner in crime.
<Seraphna> *ELayne grins, "Oh yes we have..."
* Michiru nods.
<Michiru> I like Squirrel!
<Katrina^> Squirrel: *enjoys the attention*
* Michiru , however strange it appears, has purple hair.
<Garland> So, girls, where we going' next?
<Katrina^> I don't know. It is getting late. Uncle Slasher might wonder where I am.
<Seraphna> *Elayne smiles and thinks, "Well... I guess it's alright if Michiru and I hang out as long as I'm watching her..."
<Garland> I left a note.
* Michiru hands a Catgon plushy to Katrina^
<Katrina^> Oh, okay.
<Michiru> Give this to Slasher, would you?
<Seraphna> *Elayne grins
<Garland> *in Slasher's office is a picture of Garland flipping him off*
<Seraphna> Elayne> Dear, you're diabolical... and at such an early age...
<Katrina^> Uh, I don't think so.
* Katrina^ hands it back.
<Michiru> Okie! You keep it!
<Katrina^> No, no thank you! *smiles*
<Garland> *with the words (in magazine letter) "I got Kat for the day, bitch!"*
<Michiru> Aww...
<Seraphna> *Elayne takes it and psychoports it to Slasher's chair
<Seraphna> *Elayne grins
<Seraphna> Elayne> He'll get it. ^^
* Michiru giggles and hugs Elly, seeming to know what happened.
* Garland buys an entire tray of cookies, putting them into his napsack
<Katrina^> GM: Slasher's building burns it before it arrives, aka, Slasher's defenses*
<Garland> To... THE PARK!
<Katrina^> Alright! *smiles*
* Michiru doesn't know about the defenses, so still grins
* Garland points to the door, marching onward
<Seraphna> Elayne> Okies. ^^
* Katrina^ follows Garland.
* Garland backflips down to the central area of the park when the arive
* Seraphna carries Michiru, following her dad and cousin
* Katrina^ giggles, then cartwheels after Garland
* Garland fails on the last one, hitting the ground
<Michiru> NRP: Elly carries Michiru, right?
<Seraphna> NRP: Yeah
* Katrina^ cartwheels next to him, bending over
<Katrina^> You okay?
<Seraphna> NRP: Damn conspiracies...
<Michiru> Garly? You okay?
* Garland munches on a cookie.
* Katrina^ stretches.
<Katrina^> I love the park.
<Garland> Cookie good.
<Michiru> Cookie even better when in park. ^.^
<Katrina^> Red Haired Guy: *runs up* Cookie!? Wooo! *snatches one and runs off*
<Michiru> O.o
* Garland tackles the redheaded guy
<Garland> DIEEEEE!
* Garland pummels.
<Katrina^> Red Hair Guy: AAAAAH! Back, back! I own you! AAHHH! *is beat up*
* Katrina^ watches
<Michiru> Who was that?
<Garland> Like hell you do, K-man!
<Katrina^> I don't know. Maybe a friend of Mr. Garland's?
* Michiru is surprisingly mature for a 5 year old, isn't she?
<Katrina^> Red Hair K-Man: *retreats*
<Garland> BEGONE! MY COOKIE!
* Garland notes his cookie is gone.
<Garland> BASTARD!
<Garland> NRP: *munches on a cookie*
* Michiru munches on a cookie
<Katrina^> NRP: *eats his new cookie* Yum
* Katrina^ eats a cookie
<Katrina^> Who was that, Mr. Garland?
<Seraphna> *Elayne sits nearby, pulling out a datapad and looking over some things
<Garland> Argh, damnit! My cookies are gone!
<Garland> Er! *puts his hands on Kat's ears* Never speak of evil words in children's presence!
<Katrina^> Oooh, okay! *giggles*
* Michiru looks over Elly's datapad, whether she can read it or not.
<Seraphna> *It's in Lunarian, so yes
* Katrina^ seems to be staring off at something else.
* Michiru does her best to read the datapad, though some of the words are probably a bit big for her
<Michiru> NRP: Some? Probably more like most.
<Seraphna> *Most of it is a work schedule for a doctors practice, some of it relating to trips to Snipe's Cabin, Seraphna's home, or to some place called "Shiptech"
<Michiru> What's "Shiptech" mean?
* Garland sits there with a crazed look in his eye.
* Katrina^ sits down
<Seraphna> Oh, that's the company that your grandfather left your mommy, I watch over it.
<Katrina^> So, Mr. Garland, what have you been doing lately?
<Garland> Beating bad peopple up.
<Michiru> Yay Garly! He's a superhero!
<Seraphna> *All that was from Elayne
* Garland claps
* Katrina^ lays on the grass, staring up at the sky.
<Katrina^> I want to explore the universe when I grow up.
<Michiru> I wanna be famous...
<Seraphna> Elayne> Fame isn;t all it's cracked up to be hun...
<Michiru> It's not?
* Katrina^ frowns at the word famous.
<Michiru> What's wrong, Kat?
<Katrina^> Nothin'.
<Michiru> Why you no like me being famous?
* Katrina^ looks at her funny
<Katrina^> I didn't say that. *whines a bit*
<Michiru> .oO(If I was pretty like mom, then dad wouldn't ignore me...)
<Michiru> ...
<Seraphna> Elayne> He doesn;t ignore you hun...
<Michiru> Why's he call me number 4 then?
<Seraphna> Elayne> Your father is just... well, he treats those he loves different from most people.
<Seraphna> Elayne> Because he's a weirdo.
<Michiru> Okie. Daddy's a weirdo.
<Katrina^> NRP: That's it, Elayne, lie...lie!
<Michiru> Slasher a weirdo too?
<Katrina^> Mr. McCormick is funny. I talked to him a few times.
<Michiru> What'd he say?
* Katrina^ shrugs
<Katrina^> He made jokes about squirrels and Mr. Garland.
* Michiru blinks
<Seraphna> Elayne> *raises ann eyebrow*
<Katrina^> Squirrel: Chitter. *has been gnawing on a tree branch, directly over Elayne. It falls*
<Seraphna> *Elayne tosses it aside psionically
<Katrina^> Squirrel: *bounces off*
<Seraphna> Elayne> Squirrel, give it up...
* Garland yawns.
<Garland> Candy good.
<Michiru> Why's the Squirrel doing that?
<Seraphna> Elayne> Long story...
* Katrina^ sits next to Garland.
* Michiru yawns.
* Katrina^ plays with a rock, perhaps a bit bored.
* Garland points to the playground
<Katrina^> GM: *a giant semi-truck comes driving through the park, aimed at Elayne*
<Michiru> Elly?
* Katrina^ watches, surprised.
<Seraphna> *Elayne picks up Michiru and teleports into the air
* Garland watches the truck go by
<Katrina^> GM: *the semi-truck drives on by, leaving the park*
<Michiru> ...
<Seraphna> Elayne> Damn conspiracies...
<Katrina^> Who was that?! *seems panicked*
<Garland> At least it wasn't the K-guy.
<Michiru> What's a conspiracy?
<Seraphna> *Elayne teleports home with Michiru
<Katrina^> Squirrel: *returns a few moments later, chittering to Garland*
* Garland gives the Squirrel a bag of nuts
<Michiru> 5<4Hotaru5> Where was she?
<Katrina^> Squirrel: *munches on the nuts*
<Michiru> 5<4Hotaru5> I've been calling around, trying to find out...
<Katrina^> Mr. Garland, *sounds scolding* did you have the squirrel do that?
<Seraphna> ELayne> Slasher's offices...
<Michiru> 5<4Hotaru5> Again?!
<Garland> I didn't! Ask the nut-muncher here!
<Seraphna> Elayne> Yeah, and the crazy squirrel tried killing me again.
* Katrina^ nods, then giggles.
<Michiru> 5<4Hotaru5> ... what's WITH that squirrel?
<Katrina^> Well, we're alone now. What do you want to do?
<Seraphna> *ELayne sighs and heads off to bed
*** Seraphna has left #TAW
<Garland> NRP: Get naked.
<Katrina^> NRP: .... sicko!
<Garland> It's a bit late, we should get you home.
<Katrina^> Okay. *nods*

<Snipe> Time Chart: Year Six, September 20th, 2213
<Snipe> Location: Vesperton
<Snipe> GM: *the college campus in Vesperton is full of students once again as the new school year is well under way.*
<Snipe> GM: *our story begins in the apartment of Chris Carter and his friends*
* Diamondback rubs his head, leaning over his homework on the kitchen table, chewing on his pen
<Snipe> Evil Trig Book: *sits nearby.*
<Diamondback> <Steven> WOO! In your face, Jerry! *kicks back in the recliner on the other side of the room from DB*
<Diamondback> <Jerry> <What!? No way!> *throws his controller down*
* Diamondback sighs and puts his head down on the table as the banter is exchanged
<Diamondback> <Vodka> *chitter*
<Snipe> GM: *Vodka is the group's pet squirrel.*
* Diamondback looks up at the squirrel staring into his eyes
<Diamondback> <At least SOMEBODY'S quiet in here. I'm going to hurt John for crashing in the wrong bedroom.>
<Diamondback> *Jerry and Steven resume their game after the brief quarrel, making just as much noise as before
* Diamondback looks at Vodka, then at his roommates, then back at Vodka
<Diamondback> *to Vodka* <How did I get stuck with these guys?>
<Diamondback> <Vodka> *chitter*
* Snipe walks out of the bedroom, his hair messed up from being slept on. He squints at the duo playing games, then looks at his watch. 1"Why are you guys up before 1:30?
<Diamondback> <Jerry> <Can't talk, must play.>
<Snipe> You're doing quite enough talking from where I'M at.
<Diamondback> <Jerry> <Whatever, man.>
* Snipe grinds his teeth.
<Diamondback> <Those two never went to sleep, John. They've been going at it all night.>
* Snipe flops in a chair near DB, running a hand through his hair.
<Snipe> I noticed.
<Diamondback> <Steven> I have not! ...I slept for an hour at 3.
<Diamondback> <Jerry> <Oh, so that's why you were LOSING!>
* Snipe looks at the roommates, then back at DB.
<Diamondback> *Jerry and Steven begin exchanging "kind" words about sleep and cheating
<Snipe> And how do you stick with these two, Chris?
<Diamondback> <They pay a fourth of the rent each, that's how.>
* Snipe nods wisely.
<Snipe> Thanks again for letting me stay here. I had to get out of my house. Hopefully "they" won't learn I'm here.
<Diamondback> <No problem. That's why I have that air mattress. Did you know you snore?>
<Snipe> No, no I didn't.
<Diamondback> <You do.>
<Snipe> Did you know you drool right there?
* Snipe points.
<Diamondback> <Chris, Jerry, and Steven> {LOUD.}
* Diamondback wipes his lip
<Diamondback> <Yeah, yeah, funny.>
<Diamondback> *Vodka jumps across the table to Snipe and sniffs the air
* Snipe stares at Vodka.
<Diamondback> <Vodka> *chitter*?
<Snipe> The fact you got yourself a squirrel after Garland adopted that psycho squirrel scares me.
<Diamondback> <We needed a pet. The fact that he can drink more than Brad was the kicker.>
* Snipe chitters at Vodka.
<Snipe> So, how's the girl doing, Chris?
<Diamondback> <Vodka> *chitters in fear and leaps under DB's cap, which is sitting on the table*
<Diamondback> <She's doing well. The age difference kind of messed with things to start with, but we're getting along fine, now.>
* Snipe smirks.
* Diamondback drops his pen and kicks back in his chair, suspending the back from falling over with telekinesis
<Snipe> Guess what I managed to secure today.
<Diamondback> <...A lot of sleep?>
<Snipe> Bah. I wish. No, I used my connections to get myself a rental car.
<Snipe> I'm going to go drive over to Mega City and hit some bars.
<Diamondback> <Some things never change.>
<Diamondback> *Jerry and Steven both look up at the mention of "bars," and Vodka peeks out from under the hat
<Snipe> Of course not. *stands up* I'm going to go get dressed and ready. You're welcome to join me if you don't have to much "Studying" to do!
* Snipe heads in the direction of the shower.
<Diamondback> <Hold it, John.>
* Snipe stops.
<Diamondback> *points across the hall* <Use Brad's.>
<Diamondback> <NOT mine.>
<Snipe> ....right.
* Snipe turns.
* Snipe enters the new bathroom.
* Diamondback shakes his head and begins chewing on his pen again, looking over the notes
<Diamondback> *A controller flies past DB's head - he catches in in mid-flight via telekinesis
<Diamondback> <Hold it, you two. You break it, you buy a new one.>

<Diamondback> <Jerry> <...B->
<Diamondback> <I'm joking, Jer.> *tosses it back* <Just don't break it, hmm?>
* Snipe comes out of the room in stylish clothes, completely bathed and ready to go.
<Diamondback> <...That didn't take long.>
<Snipe> I'm that good.
* Diamondback shapeshifts into his traditional white shirt, jacket, pants, and boots, having already showered. Vodka leaps into a jacket pocket and curls up, and DB grabs his hat and puts it on backwards.
* Snipe twirls a set of keys and begins to head out of the apartment.
<Diamondback> <You two coming?>
<Diamondback> <Jerry> <Nah, we'l find you later.>
<Diamondback> <Steven> Right, we have a grudge to settle.
<Diamondback> *Jerry and Steven growl at each other
* Snipe looks outside at the parked cars, then looks at the keys and hits a button. A van begins to flash it's headlights and tail lights.
<Snipe> I got...a van?
<Diamondback> <Right. Don't kill each other.>
* Diamondback grabs a coke from the fridge and headso ut
* Snipe throws up hands.
<Snipe> A van!
<Diamondback> <A... van.>
<Diamondback> <Vodka> *peeks his head out of DB's pocket* Chitter?
* Snipe unlocks the driver's door.
<Diamondback> <Vodka> *ducks back in*
<Diamondback> <...I'm driving. I don't trust you.>
<Snipe> I don't trust YOUR driving. I remember all too well your driving.
<Diamondback> <...You know, good point...>
* Snipe has a flashback of little old ladies.
* Snipe hops in the driver's side and unlocks Chris' door. Slamming his own door shut, he cranks up the van.
* Diamondback opens the door - but it doesn't open
<Snipe> ...
* Snipe glances at the door
<Snipe> Quit goofing off. It's unlocked.
<Diamondback> <I'm not!>
<Snipe> ...try hard!
* Diamondback puts a foot against the side of the van and pulls
<Snipe> Hmmmm...*leans over and tries opening it from the inside*
* Diamondback flies backwards at it opens and skids into the pavement
* Snipe makes a painful expression
* Diamondback slams into Jerry's car's tire, setting off the alarm

<Diamondback> <Vodka> Chitter. *jumped out at the last second*
* Snipe motions at Vodka to get in the van.
<Diamondback> *The alarm stops
<Diamondback> <Jerry> <Jackass!>
* Diamondback rubs his head as he stands up. Vodka jumps back in his pocket as he gets in.
<Snipe> Having fun with your friend's car?
<Diamondback> <Ha ha...>
<Snipe> Was that a look of alarm I saw on your face?
<Diamondback> <Huh? Me? Never.>
* Snipe backs up the van, glancing around, lightly tapping Jerry's car, then drives forward.
<Diamondback> *The alarm goes off again
<Diamondback> <Jerry> <DAMN YOU!>
* Snipe whistles a tune as he leaves the parking lot by driving over those yellow stopper things and onto the road.
<Snipe> Alright, they said there should be a map in there. Pull it out for me so I can see which way Mega City is.
* Snipe points at the glovebox.
* Diamondback fishes for it, despite having the roadmap memorized
* Snipe notices the AC is acting up, so he rolls down his window.
<Diamondback> <Vodka> *jumps out and lies down on the dash*
* Snipe pops in a CD into the CD player.
<Snipe> I wonder what is on this.
<Diamondback> <Just like old times. Sort of.>
<Diamondback> <...I hope it isn't from your collection.>
<Snipe> Nope.
<Diamondback> <...Then where'd you get it from?>
<Snipe> GM: *Japanese anime songs play from before the time period of Earth's destruction*
<Snipe> I found it laying there.
<Diamondback> <...Brad'll kill you when he finds that missing.>
<Snipe> I'm innocent!
* Snipe fiddles with the tracks, not noticing a red light up ahead.
<Diamondback> <...Red light.>
<Snipe> Hm?
* Snipe keeps fiddling, getting closer.
<Diamondback> <...RED LIGHT!>
* Snipe looks up
<Snipe> OH SHIT!
* Snipe hits the gas and flies through it.
* Diamondback buries his hand into the armrest
<Diamondback> <IDIOT!>
<Snipe> Heh, heh.
* Snipe looks back at the amazed drivers in the other cars.
<Snipe> Merely saving us some time.
<Snipe> Where's that map?
<Diamondback> <...It's good for you that the Vesperton cops usually don't give a damn... here it is.> *hands him the map*
* Snipe grabs the map and opens it, studying it instead of the road.
<Snipe> Okay, if we go right here, then left there...
<Diamondback> <You'll end up at the landfill. Try again.>
* Snipe turns the map around, but it ends up getting sucked out the window.
<Snipe> Uh oh.
<Diamondback> <...I do know these roads, you know. Being that I live here and all.>
* Snipe sticks his head out the window, looking at it fly off, not noticing a school bus full of kids pulling out ahead.
<Diamondback> <...!>
* Diamondback telekinetically hits the brake
* Snipe slams against the side of the window, bouncing off of it.
<Diamondback> <STEER, YOU MORON!>
<Snipe> Ass! Stop doing that with my breaks! God, it hurt even when you did it more than ten years ago.
* Snipe rubs his head, turning the van to go around the school bus.
<Diamondback> ...<Right.>
<Snipe> Okay, Mr. Know it All, which way now?
* Snipe comes to a stop.
<Diamondback> <Vodka> Chitter. *points right with his nose*
<Diamondback> <Listen to the squirrel. He knows what he's talking about.>
<Snipe> ...
<Snipe> I'm suddenly afraid
* Snipe turns right.
* Snipe gets onto an interstate and heads for Mega City.
<Snipe> So, how's school been for the past five years?
<Diamondback> <Classes? Hell. Everything else? Best time of my life.>
<Snipe> I never even finished high school.
<Snipe> The Armed Forces gave me my education.
<Diamondback> <You don't know what you're missing. After all, I had a big hand in the new styling of the university system.>
<Snipe> Yeah. You're famous. *grins*
<Diamondback> <You have to be able to do something other than fight in this world...> *looks out the window at the trees flying by*
* Snipe casually speeds the van up to 80.
<Snipe> Yeah, I suppose for some of us all, that's all we knew. *gets quiet*
* Diamondback stares out the window, while Vodka begins dancing to the music
* Snipe casually begins to push the car up to 90.
* Snipe glances at a cell phone in the car.
<Snipe> Hey, neat. We can make prank calls.
* Snipe grabs the cell phone and begins to dial up Slasher's offices, knowing he'll get a secretary.
<Snipe> <Secretary> Hello?
* Diamondback shakes his head
<Snipe> Oh, yes, this is Mr. CG with the Catgon International Paper. Is true Mr. Slasher is prejudice against Catgons?
<Snipe> <Secretary> Quit calling us! *hangs up*
* Diamondback hits his forehead, having been spying on the other side by reading Snipe's mind
<Diamondback> <Nice going. Try finding a different target, it works wonders.>
<Snipe> But...that's the first time I did it!
* Snipe looks puzzled.
<Diamondback> <Sure it was.>
<Snipe> Really! C'mon, it's me here!
<Diamondback> <Consider that my point.>
<Snipe> Okay, bad example.
<Ukchan> NRP: Goodnight!
* Snipe hands DB the phone
<Snipe> Fine, you call someone.
* Diamondback snatches the phone and punches in a number
<Diamondback> <This is always fun.>
* Snipe casually bumps it up to 100, passing all the other cars on the interstate.
<Diamondback> <Matt> Hello?
<Diamondback> *lowers his voice* Yes, this is Tony's Pizza. I'm calling to confirm your order of ten large pepporoni pizzas, and fifteen large sausage and pepporoni pizzas to Reade Hall, VSU, room 111.
<Diamondback> <Matt> ...Huh? Chris, that's you, isn't it? What the he-
* Diamondback hangs up
<Snipe> Tony's Pizza is STILL around?
*** Ukchan has left #TAW
<Diamondback> <Yeah. The original Tony's son, also named Tony, reopened it. He has shops in Vesperton and Mega City, and is trying to branch out.
<Diamondback> >
<Snipe> ...who would have thunk it!
<Snipe> Say, I've been noticing these flashing red and blue lights, but the back window is so dirty I can't really make them out. Can you lean your head out the window to check?
<Snipe> GM: *up ahead Mega City can be seen, still pretty far off*
<Diamondback> <...Say WHAT? Use your mirror, jackass.>
* Snipe looks up at the mirror that's tilts and falls off.
<Snipe> ...sure.
<Diamondback> ...
* Snipe reaches under the seat and pulls out a plastic gun
* Diamondback takes off his hat and leans out the window
<Snipe> Wonder what that's doing here.
* Snipe leans out the window, holding the plastic gun, and sees 10 police cars chasing them.
* Snipe looks at his speed which is 110.
* Diamondback shapeshifts into a random, everyday man
<Snipe> Oh, cute, everyday man!
<Diamondback> <Sorry, I have a reputation now... You can do two things now. Pull over, or haul ass.>
* Snipe hums, then leans out the window and aims the plastic gun at the cops. They open fire.
* Snipe jerks back in.
<Snipe> Haul ass I think.
<Diamondback> <Sounds good.>
<Snipe> Sadly, I think this is as fast as the van goes.
<Diamondback> <I've done some work with cars. Give me a few seconds...>
<Snipe> Right.
* Diamondback places his hands on the dash and concentrates
* Snipe looks at the cop cars and news chopters in the sky.
<Snipe> GM: *on the holovid* News Reporter: What seems to be two ordinary everyday guys are running from the law, carrying weapons it seems.*
<Diamondback> <Hey, we'll be on at five o'clock! The guys'll love this!>
* Snipe presses down on the gas as the cop cars begin to pull up beside them.
<Snipe> Yeah, wave to your mom.
<Diamondback> *The van begins to gain further speed as DB's "engine work" begins to complete
* Snipe begins to pull up to 120.
<Snipe> I think if we can reach Mega City, we can lose them.
<Snipe> ...but wait, isn't there a giant hill before Mega City?
* Snipe looks up ahead at what suddenly seems to be a giant drop.
<Diamondback> <...This could be bad.>
<Snipe> Could be.
* Snipe drives over the side. Instead of going slow enough to go slowly down hill, they fly over it.
<Snipe> Van: *begins to fall downward due to gravity.*
<Diamondback> <...Yep, this is bad.>
<Snipe> Look on the bright side. We'll make the front page.
<Snipe> GM: *the van hits the pavement, bouncing once and sliding out of control down the side of the hill as it gains more speed*
<Snipe> ...tell me...is that a car up ahead?
<Snipe> GM: *three cars mosey on ahead*
<Diamondback> <Looks like it.>
<Snipe> Oh, okay.
<Diamondback> <This oughta get us on the new, big time.>
* Diamondback raises his hands quickly, sending the van into the air and over the cars
* Snipe gains control of the van, still gunning the engine so that, by going down hill, their speed is maxed out.
<Snipe> Wooo!
<Snipe> GM: *astounished drivers watch*
<Snipe> GM: *below the hill evens out to a nice even plain again*
<Diamondback> <...You know, now that I think about it, this was probably a bad idea.>
<Snipe> Why's that?
* Snipe looks ahead at the signs directly in front of them saying "Entering Mega City".
<Diamondback> <When we land, it could hurt. ...Where's Vodka?>
<Diamondback> <Vodka> *chitters from under DB's cap*
<Snipe> Well, if we don't land, that'll hurt.
* Snipe nods at the signs.
<Diamondback> <...I'm not holding us up, if that's what you're saying.>
<Snipe> ...you're NOT?
<Snipe> ...then why aren't we falling!?
<Diamondback> <Got me. Maybe I threw us too hard.>
* Snipe braces himself, but the van begins to fall, just underneath the signs, and lands back on the pavement, sending a shower of sparks as it kids for a moment.
* Snipe regains control and speeds into Mega City.
<Diamondback> <...Slow down now. We're out of their jurisdiction.>
* Snipe brings the car back to normal
<Snipe> Like they wouldn't have alerted the city police.
<Snipe> GM: *helicopter follows them, recording them for TV*
<Diamondback> <Point. Find an alley somewhere.>
* Snipe turns into the nearest alley.
<Diamondback> <So, do we get out of this, or keep going?>
<Snipe> Well, we're about ten blocks from the club area. I suppose we can walk.
* Diamondback reverts
<Diamondback> 
* Snipe gets out, then throws garbage and drunks on top of the van to hide it.
<Snipe> Sounds good.
<Snipe> Drunk: He-ey, youse molestin' me?
* Diamondback throws up a cloak, and DB and Snipe disappear from view
<Diamondback> <Vodka> *jumps into DB's pocket - and disappears*
* Snipe begins to walk out of the alley, whistling a tune as police slam to a halt outside the alley.
<Snipe> Drunks: He-ey, this must be some good shit.
* Diamondback walks out, shaking his head
* Snipe walks past police running into the alley, still whistling.
<Diamondback> *to Snipe and, oddly enough, Vodka* <They'll be trying to figure THAT one out for years.>
<Snipe> At least we can say we made our own little X-File for the cops. *nearby a cop looks around, confused at hearing voices*
<Diamondback> <Vodka> Chitter.
<Snipe> GM: *the two clear the police area*
<Diamondback> <Think it's safe?
<Diamondback> >
<Snipe> Should be.
* Diamondback drops the cloak. He and Snipe suddenly snap into view, startling many pedestrians.
<Snipe> We come in peace.
<Snipe> Pedestrians: *shrug, obviously used to Mega City's weird level*

* #taw is being logged
<Snipe> Seconds After the Paused DB/Snipe Session in Mega City.
* Snipe whistles a tune as he walks along the streets, his hands in his brown pants.
* Diamondback rests his hands behind his head, walking lazily. Vodka's head is sticking out of his jacket pocket, sniffing the air.
<Snipe> I tell you, this is the life. Being hunted by cops, hunting for clubs, a pet squirrel named Vodka. How could it possibly get any better?
<Diamondback> 
<Snipe> Weasle Sounding Voice: Oh, I assure you pal, it can get much better. All your money, now. *in the alley is a man holding a plasma gun, aimed right at DB and Snipe*
<Diamondback> Vodka: *ducks into DB's pocket*
* Snipe stops his whistligng and blinks in amazement
* Diamondback stands there
<Snipe> You gotta be kidding me. Does he even know who we are?
<Diamondback> <Doesn't look like it... do you want the honors, or should I?>
<Snipe> Weasle Sounding Voice: I don't care if your Slasher himself, your gil, now.
<Snipe> Oh, you can do it. *waves a dismissive hand*
<Snipe> GM: *the man's pants suddenly fall down and a giant wedgie is seen. The man looks shocked*
<Snipe> GM: *the man is thrown off into an open trashcan and the lid closes down after him*
<Snipe> .....Okay..
* Snipe glances at DB
* Diamondback 's eyes fade back to their normal colors
<Diamondback> I've been in college too long. *resumes walking*
* Snipe looks back at the trashcan
<Snipe> Talk about taking out the trash!
* Snipe walks after him.
<Diamondback> <Besides, what was he on, trying to hold up a college student?>
<Snipe> Of course. You live on the next payment from your wife, don't you?
<Diamondback> <...I'm living comfortably. I did help to establish the university system, after all.>
* Snipe watches as a purse snatcher snatches an old woman's purse, who proceeds to beat him with a stick.
* Diamondback sighs and telekinetically spins the thief's feet around each other, sending him tumbling to the pavement
<Diamondback> <You know, the police in this city need to get off of their collective ass and do their jobs.>
* Snipe walks past the tumble thief as the old lady kicks him repeatedly.
* Diamondback keeps walking
* Snipe stops outside the club, which already has a long line despite being 4 in the afternoonl
<Snipe> Well, damn.
<Snipe> I think we could take on the bouncer, unless they've hired Garland.
<Diamondback> <Probably...> *tries to look at the front of the line*
* Snipe stands on his toes to look
<Snipe> I hate lines. They're evil. Like Santa.
<Diamondback> <...Wait a minute.> *hovers into the air*
<Snipe> Crowd: *ignores DB, like it's an everyday thing for people to be hovering*
* Diamondback lowers back to the ground
<Garland> *DB is knocked down*
<Garland> Guy with shades and wild hair: *No skippers*
* Snipe blinks in surprise.
* Diamondback blinks, springing back to his feet
<Snipe> Who in the world---?
<Diamondback> 
<Garland> Bouncer: *crosses his arms*
<Snipe> ...uh, I Think we could take him.
<Garland> Jerk? Take me? *lowers his shades*
<Diamondback> * Vodka climbs up DB's jacket and crawls up under his backwards cap. He sticks his head out of the hole and chitters at the bouncer.
<Garland> You guys really forget me way too often...
* Diamondback hits his forehead, avoiding Vodka. <Irony at its best.>
<Snipe> ....is that thing Garland?
*** Garland is now known as Baberlus
<Baberlus> No I ain't that guy!
* Baberlus smacks Snipe
<Snipe> Uh....Hianule?
<Snipe> OW!
<Diamondback> * Vodka chitters, scared, and dives back into DB's pocket
<Snipe> Do I know you?
*** Retrieving #taw info...
<Alicia> * Someone watches from the shadows.
* Baberlus facepalms
<Baberlus> BAKAYARO! *hands Snipe a granade and walks off*
* Snipe blinks in surprise, then looks at the grenade.
<Diamondback> <...I'd throw that, if I were you.>
* Snipe throws it up into the air.
<Diamondback> <You know, collateral damage and all. And since I'm right next to you...>
<Baberlus> Pin #1: *is ther*
* Diamondback blinks
<Diamondback> <OW!>
<Diamondback> <Vodka, out of the pocket!>
* Snipe sidesteps the grenade.
* Baberlus sets random people waiting in line on fire.
*** TheSteelBlade is now known as TSB|Work
*** TSB|Work has left #taw
<Diamondback> * Vodka chitters and crawls back under DB's hat, almost seeming to be snickering
* Snipe watches the spectacle in front of him.
<Diamondback> 
<Snipe> People: *run around screaming*
<Snipe> Why? The line's getting shorter.
<Diamondback> <Point.>
* Baberlus laughs madly with a cigar in his mouth
<Snipe> Line: *scatters and the sound of sirens is heard*
<Diamondback> <...Uh, we ARE wanted men, John.>
<Snipe> Damn, I hope they don't recognize us.
* Baberlus pulls out two shotguns, shooting at the cars
<Baberlus> Nothing like a little destruction to make the evening. *harsh laugh*
<Snipe> Cars: *explode. Four police cars pull up and the police open fire on Baberlus*
* Diamondback stands there
<Snipe> ....hmmmm, might be a good time to get in the club. *watches*
* Baberlus pulls the grenade and throws the pin at the policemen
<Snipe> Police: *scatter as all four cars explode*
<Diamondback> <...!>
<Snipe> Police: *call in backup, still firing on Baberlus*
* Baberlus throws the grenade now.
* Diamondback whistles idly, sliding into the club
*** Dias has joined #taw
*** ChanServ sets mode: +o Dias
<Snipe> How did the cars explode from the pin?
* Snipe walks into the club as more explosions are heard.
<Diamondback> <I'm afraid to ask.>
* Baberlus walks in with them, his coat moving as though he's out there fighting them.
<Baberlus> I love bionic coats... so what are yo a-holes doin' out here?
<Snipe> GM: *the music is loud so everyone inside can't hear the chaos outside. People are seen dancing and partying*
<Snipe> ...Do I know you?
* Baberlus grabs Snipe's head and slaps him.
<Snipe> OW!
<Snipe> What the hell do you keep slapping me?
<Baberlus> It's so damn fun.
<Snipe> Slap him so much.
* Snipe points at DB.
<Diamondback> <...But I know who he is.>
<Snipe> Who is he>?
<Diamondback> <Bounty hunter, tried to kill us all, Mega City bouncer.>
<Snipe> Oh, right.
<Baberlus> On several occasions, I might add!
<Snipe> NRP: TDA has set hire standards for TAW's bizzare sense of humor.
<Diamondback> <Note the "tried.">
* Snipe sits down at a table, nodding his head to the music.
<Snipe> NRP: Higher, even
* Baberlus throws a table knife at Snipe
* Snipe catches it by the handle.
<Diamondback> <...A butter knife.>
<Snipe> ...is there something I can HELP you with?
<Baberlus> .... It has those little indents! Ooo!
<Baberlus> Yeah, gimme back my knife. I have toast to butter. *Grabs it*
<Diamondback> <...I can see why you never succeeded, now...>
<Snipe> ...
* Snipe calls over a waitress and orders himself four shots of tequilla.
<Snipe> GM: *outside, explosions continue to take place*
<Diamondback> <A strawberry daiquiri for me, Jill. How late are you working tonight?>
* Snipe drums his hands as DB orders.
<Diamondback> Jill: Oh, hi, Chris. I'm here 'til 10, but I go on break in an hour. Let me go get your drinks.
<Diamondback> * Jill walks away. DB's eyes follow the sway of her hips.
<Baberlus> Wait!
* Baberlus yells at Jill
* Snipe pauses, then looks between DB and Jill.
<Diamondback> * Jill turns around, and looks startled
* Baberlus gives Jill the crazy eyes "You like me."
* Diamondback 's eyes snap back up quickly
<Diamondback> Jill: ... *coldly* What would you like to drink, sir?
* Snipe nudges DB once, smirks, then looks between Baberlus and Jill.
<Baberlus> *crazy eyes* You love me.
<Snipe> Is he a male Eve, too, Chris?
<Diamondback> <Looks like it.>
* Diamondback forms a 2x4 next to Baberlus's head and cracks him with it
<Dias> NRP: I'm the only Male EVE!
* Baberlus throws a REAL knife at DB very fast.
* Snipe waves Jill on to get the drinks as the two fight.
* Diamondback stops it with telekinesis a short distance from his face
<Diamondback> * Jill takes the opportunity to slink away
<Baberlus> JILL! LOVE ME!
* Baberlus barks at her and woofs.
* Snipe edges his seat away from Baberlus
* Snipe waits for Jill's return, thinking.

<Diamondback> <So... how's life, John?>
<Snipe> Chaotic.
<Dias> NRP: Snipe: But good, did you know you can actually have sex....With GIRLS!
* Snipe looks at DB.
<Snipe> But I've been training for next year's tournament.
* Diamondback shakes his head
<Diamondback> 
<Snipe> Well, I've been doing nothing myself these past six years, but I think I'm ready for a turnaround. Mainly, I want to kick Garland's ass.
<Diamondback> <It must be nice to not be doing anything.>
<Snipe> Sometimes. Sometimes it doesn't have it's kicks.
<Diamondback> <Me? VSU is busting my ass. I just HAD to double major... then again, to study the physical AND mental aspects of psionics, I almost HAD to have a pre-med and a psychology degree... and I still have a long way to do.> *laughs* <Dr. Chris Carter, Ph.D. A scary thought...>
* Snipe stares at DB as he talks with a strange look.
* Diamondback shakes his head rapidly. Vodka stumbles out from under the hat and crashes into the table.
<Snipe> Cute Girl: Ooooh, a squirrel. Is he yours?
<Baberlus> Garland's Squirrel: *attacks*
<Snipe> ...what the hell?
<Diamondback> *to Vodka* <As much beer and peanuts as you want...> *to all* <What in the hell?!>
<Snipe> Why is Garland's robotic squirrel from here attacking your squirrel, Vodka?
<Diamondback> Vodka: *fights back with a vengance*
<Snipe> NRP: From hell
*** Lucca` has joined #TAW
* Diamondback telekinetically lifts Garland's squirrel off of the table. Vodka swats at the floating squirrel from the table.
<Diamondback> <...How did this thing get HERE, anyway?>
<Snipe> Cute Girl: *is practically holding onto DB*
<Snipe> I don't know, but I say you crush it!
<Diamondback> *glances towards the girl* <...You are a sick man.>
* Diamondback floats it outside. Vodka nuzzles against the girl's hand.
<Snipe> Kiiiiiill it.
<Diamondback> *to Snipe* <Ix-nay on the ill-kay.>
<Snipe> Cute Girl: *seems to like Vodka, petting it. And standing next to DB*
* Snipe makes a face and goes quiet.
* Snipe wonders where those drinks are.
<Snipe> Cute Girl: *stops petting Vodka and looks at DB* Where'd you get him? *says cutely*
* Snipe swats at a fly, falling out of his chair.
<Diamondback> *rubs the back of his neck* He just kind of showed up at my apartment one day, and we adopted him.
<Snipe> Cute Girl: Would you like to adopt me, too? *Blinks sweetly*

<Snipe> Cute Girl: Tee-hee. *sits down*
* Snipe makes faces at Baberlus.
<Diamondback> Jill: *walks towards the table with a platter with the drinks balanced on it* Sorry I took so long, you two. It's ungodly busy in here today...
<Snipe> Oh, thank God, I thought I was going to be sick if I didn't get drunk in the next five minutes.
<Snipe> Cute Girl: *seems oblivious to Snipe's slams*
<Diamondback> * Jill places the drinks around the table, eyeing DB's sudden date almost the whole time
* Snipe stares at this interaction, then looks at Baberlus
<Snipe> See, the girls used to fight over me...yes.
<Diamondback> * Vodka dips into one of Snipe's tequilas
* Snipe lets him have it, throwing back the other three.
<Diamondback> Jill: ...Are you sure you should let Vodka drink like that?
<Snipe> Cute Girl: Can I have what he's having? *points at DB* Tee Hee.
* Snipe gestures at Vodka.
<Snipe> He's my homie.
<Diamondback> <Hey, he earned his name for a reason...>
<Diamondback> Jill: Sure thing. *spins on her heel and walks away*
<Diamondback> .oO{Yikes... this won't end well...}
* Snipe eyes the cute girl funnily.
* Diamondback shrugs and looks at the cute girl
<Snipe> Cute Girl: *smiles at DB*
<Diamondback> So, I didn't catch your name?
* Snipe angles head and begins to look under the table. He jerks as he does so.
<Snipe> Cute Girl: Rob.
* Diamondback 's eyes go wide as he does a psionic scan
<Snipe> GM: *It's...really a guy!*
<Dias> NRP: HOOOHAA!

<Snipe> Cute Girl: *chases after DB*

<Snipe> Cute Girl: *manly voice* Is there something wrong?

<Diamondback> * Vodka isn't either
*** Baberlus is now known as Garland

<Snipe> Cute Girl: *hugs the squirrel*
<Garland> Squirrel: It's a man, bay-be!
<Diamondback> <...FUCK, if there was ever a time I was glad I could do that...>
<Diamondback> * Vodka jumps out of the pocket and lands on the table, and shudders
* Snipe looks at the interaction with the squirrel and the girl-man.
<Snipe> For some reason this is reminding me of someone I know.
<Snipe> Cute Girl: *runs off with the squirrel*
<Diamondback> * Vodka looks around, then dips into DB's daiquiri
* Snipe looks at back at DB
<Diamondback> Jill: You know, Chris, if that wasn't so hilarious, I'd be really pissed off right now...
<Snipe> I love your choice of men.
<Diamondback> * Jill walks up, holding a second daiquiri, laughing
* Snipe blinks his eyes
<Snipe> Am I attactive, too, Chris?
* Diamondback snarls
<Garland> Bab: *falls onto Snipe from the ceiling
<Snipe> ACK!
* Snipe crashes onto the floor
<Garland> Bab: *run off*
<Diamondback> <You know, that's getting a bit old...>

* Diamondback sips on the new daiquiri
<Snipe> I hate that guy.
<Garland> Bab: *falls onto Snipe from the ceiling
<Snipe> ACK!
* Snipe hits the floor
<Garland> Bab: *run off*
* Snipe stands up, huffing with anger.
* Diamondback , Jill, and Vodka all stare at Snipe
<Snipe> Not a word.

<Snipe> Can I not have anything NORMAL happen to me?
<Diamondback> <You gave up being normal a long time ago, John.>
<Snipe> True.
<Diamondback> Jill: Gah, I forgot about my other customers... *walks off quickly*

<Diamondback> <Huh, wha, d'you say something?>
<Snipe> You. Got. Hots. For. Jill.
<Diamondback> <...Wouldn't you?>
<Snipe> Well...uh..
<Snipe> No, no I don't.
<Diamondback> <...Knowing your personal life, I won't take that as a slam on her.>
<Snipe> Not her. It's just Hotaru might be making an honest man out of me. Kind of scary.
<Diamondback> * Vodka looks up from the daiquiri and stares at John. DB does likewise.
<Diamondback> <You? HONEST?!>
* Diamondback cracks up laughing, drawing looks from other patrons
<Snipe> Though Elayne hanging around bothers me a little. I don't know is up with that girl. *stops talking as he stares at DB laughing*

* Diamondback rubs his nose, trying to stop laughing

<Snipe> Laugh it up.

<Diamondback> <Way to go, Vodka...>
* Diamondback sips his own drink
<Diamondback> * Vodka turns and stares into DB's eyes - then falls over backwards and lies there
<Snipe> Is he dead?
<Diamondback> <Nah. He's taken worse than that. He's just down for the count.>
* Snipe taps on Vodka's stomach
<Diamondback> 
* Snipe stops.
<Diamondback> * Vodka rolls around for a second, then lies still again
<Snipe> This thing is cool.
<Snipe> I want one.
<Snipe> Cute Girl 2: *looks at the squirrel* Oooo, a squirrel. Tee hee.
* Diamondback does a psionic scan without looking up this time
<Snipe> Cute Girl 2: *is...really a girl!*
<Diamondback> * Vodka lies there
<Snipe> Cute Girl 2: *picks up Vodka and cuddles with him*
<Diamondback> *to Snipe* <...Oh, shit.>
<Snipe> ....*eyes widen*
<Diamondback> * Vodka stirs briefly before his eyes go wide and he starts thrashing in the girl's grip
<Snipe> Cute Girl 2: *screams, drops vodka, and runs off*
<Diamondback> * Vodka makes a mad dash for the other side of the room and disappears into the men's restroom
* Diamondback facepalms
<Snipe> ....
* Snipe makes a face
<Diamondback> <That went well...>
<Snipe> You're smooth tonight. Might as well try hitting on Jill.
<Diamondback> * Vodka trudges out of the restroom and slowly walks back to the table
<Diamondback> <Everybody has an off day...>
<Diamondback> <Of course, this one's YOUR fault.>
* Diamondback eyes Vodka, who has laid down at his foot
* Snipe shakes head.
<Diamondback> * Vodka stares up, then simply falls back over
<Snipe> That squirrel is having a better time than us, and he's passing out
<Diamondback> <Yep... kind of sad, isn't it...>
<Snipe> GM: *a song that played regularly when the two went to clubs during the SU begins to play*
<Diamondback> <...Speaking of kind of sad...>
* Snipe gets a funny look on his face.
* Diamondback picks up Vodka and puts him in his pocket
* Snipe stands up, grabbing his wallet to pay for the drinks and tip Jill.
* Diamondback glances towards the ceiling, then shakes his head and drops a tip, then goes to pay
* Snipe fishes out the money and sets it on the table.
<Snipe> So, now what should we do?
<Diamondback> <Well, I'm supposed to meet the guys for a concert later on... we could just hang around until then.>
<Snipe> Alright. I'm going to look outside to see if the cops are okay.
* Snipe heads for the exit.
<Diamondback> <It seems to have quieted down...>
* Diamondback heads for the exit as well
* Snipe glances outside, seeing random cars burning, but no signs of bodies.
<Diamondback> <No casualties, I hope...> *sighs*
* Snipe steps outside and stretches.
<Snipe> I should call the girls and see if they're okay and let them know I'm doing fine.
<Diamondback> <Maybe so.>
* Diamondback reaches into his other pocket. A look of brief panic crosses his face, but quickly fades.
<Diamondback> <...Sorry, I loaned my phone to Jennifer last night and forgot to get it back...>
* Snipe grabs a cell phone from the ground and dials up the number to the house, since Hotaru had a phone installed last month.
* Diamondback doesn't ask why a cell phone was lying on the ground
<Snipe> That's okay, I found this convienently placed phone.
<Kimera> 6<5[13Emily5]6> *answers* Hello?
<Snipe> Hey, Em? It's John
* Diamondback whistles, kicking at debris on the ground
<Kimera> 6<5[13Emily5]6> John? Where are you? You've had us worried sick.
<Snipe> Oh, sorry. Heh, it's been a few weeks, I know. I'm just in Mega City with some friends.
<Diamondback> Vodka: *chitters loudly from inside DB's jacket pocket*
<Kimera> 6,1<3[15Emilia Jenius3]6> Not hanging around with any bad influences like Garland or Chris are you?
<Kimera> (Wha!)
<Kimera> 6<5[13Emily5]6> Not hanging around with any bad influences like Garland or Chris are you?
<Snipe> (Emila's back!!)
<Snipe> (Emilia)
<Diamondback> * A female laugh echoes in DB's and Snipe's minds
<Snipe> Uh, er...uh...*looks at Chris, then pauses* Uh, did you just laugh, Em?
<Kimera> 6,1<3[15Emilia Jenius3]6> Er, no?
<Kimera> 6<5[13Emily5]6> Er, no?
* Diamondback looks around, trying to trace the telepathic signal
<Kimera> (*puts Emilia out of the RPG... or atleast trys to, she's big*)
<Diamondback> Female Voice: <Nice try, Chris... but you should know that cloaking a signal is but the most basic of talents...>
* Snipe pauses, looking around
<Snipe> Uh, Em? I think some psycho's here. Hang on.
<Diamondback> <Who... who the hell...?>
* Snipe looks at Chris.
<Snipe> What the hell?
* Diamondback goes about looking the old fashioned way
<Diamondback> 
<Kimera> 6<5[13Emily5]6> A psycho? Cool! I wish I had a long range teleporter...
<Snipe> Knowing Elayne, there's one installed somewhere in that house
<Diamondback> Voice: <Oh, come now... surely you recognize my voice, Christopher Wayne Carter... project enhanced #423...>
* Snipe looks around, the street eerily deserted.
* Diamondback 's eyes go wide
<Kimera> 6<5[13Emily5]6> You think she'd go that far?
<Snipe> Yes.
<Diamondback> *loudly* SHOW YOURSELF!
* Snipe flinches as Chris yells, visibly heard over the phone.
<Snipe> NRP: Er, audibly)
<Snipe> NRP: dammit
<Kimera> 6<5[13Emily5]6> *falls over*
<Diamondback> * A form appears in the street briefly, then fades into a silouhette of purple
<Snipe> I recognize a move like that....
* Diamondback whips towards the form and assumes a fighting position - and blinks as it disappears
<Snipe> Uh, Em, I think we got an enhanced duel here.
<Diamondback> Voice: 
<Diamondback> <Stop calling me #423! My name is CHRIS, dammit!>
<Snipe> Uh, Chris, can't you just kick her ass? I know you're stronger, right? RIGHT?
<Diamondback> 
<Snipe> Then hide from this!
* Snipe throws forward his hand, trying to block the area of psionics.
<Snipe> Alright, Em, problem solved.
* Snipe looks cocky.
<Kimera> 6<5[13Emily5]6> I'm going to have to make you bring a camera with you or something. Or atleast a vid cell.
<Snipe> Heh heh.
<Snipe> You don't want to see the places I go.
* Snipe stretches back lazily while talking on the phone.
<Diamondback> * A rather large brick falls towards Snipe's head
<Kimera> 6<5[13Emily5]6> Short of the bathroom, how can you be sure?
* Snipe glances up and gets hit in the face, the phone dropping
<Snipe> ARGH!
* Snipe stumbles against the ground, his psionic barrier broken.
* Diamondback snaps to attention, his psionic abilities flowing back into him - and he senses the other signature nearby
* Diamondback looks at the top of a nearby building
<Kimera> 6<5[13Emily5]6> John? John!
* Snipe leans against the ground, feeling his face and feeling something warm.
<Snipe> Gah.
<Diamondback> * A female figure stands on the roof of the six story apartment building, her hair blowing in the wind.
<Diamondback> Woman: <Nice going. But the male ego does it again...>
<Diamondback> <Who the hell ARE you?!>
<Diamondback> Woman: 
<Diamondback> * The woman leaps off of the building. "But I've earned the nickname Peregrine."
*** Peregrine` has joined #taw
* Snipe gets to his feet, his face red with some blood
<Snipe> Okay, lady, you've asked for it.
* Peregrine` goes into a swan dive, and swoops in to land on her feet
<Peregrine`> <Have I, now?>
* Diamondback tenses
<Snipe> Oh, yeah, I'm going to so hurt you now!
<Diamondback> <Snipe... remember, she's enhanced.>
* Snipe forgets the fact the phone is on
<Snipe> So, you're the best of the enhanced. Blast her or something.
<Kimera> 6<5[13Emily5]6> .oO( Ugh... John, so brash... )
<Diamondback> <THINK, John. What makes the enhanced different from other psions?>
<Snipe> Uh...you...you're all linked?
* Peregrine` crosses her arms
<Peregrine`> 
* Peregrine` draws her arms back and fires a familiar looking blast from her hands
<Snipe> I'll just cut you off again! *prepares to throw his hands forward when a pulse blast hits him in the side* ARGH
* Snipe slides along the ground and past the phone.
<Kimera> 6<5[13Emily5]6> ((Does this mean I'm as powerful as Chris as well? ))
* Diamondback throws his hands forward and fires an identical blast into the first. The two collide and begin trying to cancel each other out.
<Diamondback> <...D...dammit! How did I let myself walk into this?!>
*** Pulse has joined #taw
<Peregrine`> <You're grown brash, #423.> *grits her teeth* <And that will be your downfall!>
* Pulse stands off to the side, a familiar reploid from the SU's past. A pulse wave surrounds him and he's obviously been upgraded.
* Snipe stands up, holding his shoulder
* Peregrine` yells and pulses more power into the beam. The beam overtakes DB's and strikes him, sending him flying into a building.
<Snipe> And you are...?
* Diamondback crashes into the wall of a deserted apartment building, leaving a Chris Carter-shaped indentation in it
<Pulse> You don't remember me? You led your unit and destroyed me. Quite genius. But I don't see you having your stronger teammates to throw me off a dam this time!
<Pulse> I was found and rebuilt to destroy you all. *Throws a pulse wave into Snipe*
* Snipe gets caught in the head, hitting the ground hard next to the phone.
<Peregrine`> <So THIS is all the fabled Diamondback, the one who surpassed the enhanced, has to offer?! FEH! #245 was a more suitable power source, and he hadn't had any formal training in his life!>
* Snipe lays on the ground, groaning in pain.
<Diamondback> Un... ungh...
* Diamondback falls forward and slams into the pavement face first
<Diamondback> <Power... s... source...?>
* Pulse walks over next to Peregrine, shaking his head.
* Snipe pushes against the ground, forcing himself up to his feet.
<Snipe> You ripped my shirt...now I'm pissed.
* Peregrine` ignores Pulse, instead walking over to Diamondback
* Pulse throws another pulse wave at Snipe.
<Diamondback> .oO{Fu... I'm getting too old for this...}
* Snipe throws his hands forward, letting the pulse wave hit them and slide him back.
<Snipe> T-that your best?
* Peregrine` lifts DB up by his collar
* Snipe stands next to the phone, kicks it up in the air and kicks it right at Pulse's face.
<Pulse> ?!
* Pulse grabs it.
<Pulse> What the hell?
* Pulse glances at the on button lit up.
<Peregrine`> <I'm surprised you haven't figured it out by now, Collectivebreaker. We enhanced are truly linked to each other... not only can we share abilities and energy... we can forcefully take them.> *grins evilly as a purple aura surrounds her*
* Snipe tackles Pulse as he's distracted
<Kimera> 6<5[13Emily5]6> Who is this? Put John back on the line or I'll kick your butt!
* Diamondback realizes what's happening and thrashes in Peregrine's grip
<Pulse> Kick my---AAAH!
* Snipe rolls with Pulse, grabbing the phone
<Snipe> Hey, Em, one momenty.
* Snipe headbutts Pulse, throwing him through the window of a nearby store.
<Diamondback> <You... you've gone insane! What happened to you?!>
* Pulse lands on a cash register.
<Peregrine`> <Oh, so now you finally remember who I am... a little late. Now, say goodnight, Collectivebreaker!>
* Peregrine` 's aura envelops Diamondback, who begins to strain as energy is drawn from his body to Peregrine's
<Diamondback> .oO{This... can't be the end...}
* Snipe glances back at Peregrine and throws the phone at her.
<Diamondback> * Vodka peeks out of Diamondback's pocket and, seeing Peregrine, panics. He leaps out of the pocket and bites into her finger right as the phone collides with the back of her head.
<Peregrine`> <GAAAH!>
* Peregrine` drops Diamondback as she swings Vodka around
<Peregrine`> <LET GO, YOU LITTLE TUBE RAT!>
* Snipe goes to charge Peregrine when Pulse tackles him in the back.
<Pulse> You didn't think it was over that easily, did you?
* Peregrine` slings Vodka off of her finger, sending him flying into a building. He crashes into the wall and is knocked unconscious.
* Snipe falls next to the phone, realizing it's still on
<Snipe> God, who makes these phones? I want one.
<Peregrine`> <Now... where was I.... GAAH!>
* Diamondback swings his forearm into the back of Peregrine's head
* Peregrine` stumbles forward and falls to a knee, shaking it off
* Snipe kicks Pulse in the stomach, then rams the back of his head into Pulse's nose.
<Diamondback> <You HAD to go and hurt Vodka, didn't you?>
* Pulse is thrown off.
* Peregrine` gets up and starts to turn around - only to be tackled by a flying Dimaondback
* Snipe stands up, looking back and forth between Peregrine and Pulse.
* Diamondback and Peregrine roll for a second, and Diamondback ends up on top, where he proceeds to punch Peregrine across the face repeatedly
<Snipe> Ooo. Ouch. *winces as he watches* That's gotta hurt.
<Kimera> 6<5[13Emily5]6> ...this sucks, I'm not even on the sidelines this time. Well... Go John!
* Snipe picks up the phone
<Snipe> Thank you.
<Diamondback> <Don't!> *punch* <Hurt!> *whack* <The!> *bam* <Tube!> *smack* <Rat!> *crack*
* Snipe shakes head as he watches, glancing at Pulse
<Snipe> I hope you're learning the lesson here.
* Pulse stumbles to get up.
* Diamondback stops the punching as Peregrine's head rolls to the side, and scans her mind
<Snipe> How is everything, Chris?
<Diamondback> <...How could you...? Killing all of those psions... just to gain their power. Too bad you forgot that I gain your abilities when you're nearby.>
* Pulse fiddles with a switch on his arm.
<Peregrine`> <...You... wouldn't...?>
<Snipe> Huh? Killing all those psions? She was killing other enhanced?
* Diamondback is surrounded by the eerie purple aura from earlier
<Diamondback> <Believe what you want to... justice will be served.>
* Pulse injects hyper into his system.
<Diamondback> * The aura moves to envelop Peregrine as well. A panicked look enters her eyes as a purple stream of light flows from her eyes into Diamondback's.
<Snipe> Well, Em, I think this is a wrap up.
<Peregrine`> <...Nngh...>
* Diamondback stares into Peregrine's eyes, the life quickly fading from them
<Peregrine`> <You're... no better... than... me... for... for th... this...>
<Diamondback> <Maybe not... but you know what? I don't give a fuck. Burn in hell, bitch.>
* Diamondback drains the last of Peregrine's energy, and stands up. He uncharacteristically kicks the corpse before turning to Snipe and Pulse.
<Kimera> 6<5[13Emily5]6> It go well?
<Snipe> *voice sounds a bit off* Yeah...
<Diamondback> <...John, wake up.>
<Snipe> Huh?
* Pulse bulks up twice his size behind Snipe and throws a pulse wave right into his back.
<Diamondback> <We're not done yet.>
<Snipe> OUF!
* Snipe slams face first into the ground.
<Diamondback> <Tried to tell you...>
* Snipe struggles to push himself up, his back smoking
<Pulse> Ha ha ha ha
* Diamondback sends psionic energy coursing through his body
* Pulse sparks with pulse energy.
* Snipe stands up, squinting in pain.
<Snipe> I've had just about enough of you!
* Snipe runs at Pulse, ducking low and uppercutting him
* Pulse backhands Snipe into the side of a building.
* Snipe slams into it, bouncing forward.
<Snipe> Ugh.
* Diamondback forms two beams of energy from his hands at his sides, crossing them slightly in front of himself into one beam. The thicker beam lances towards Pulse.
* Pulse throws up a psionic defense shield.
*** Peregrine` has quit IRC (Quit: )
<Pulse> Ha ha ha! I was ready for that!
* Snipe stands up, swaying some.
<Diamondback> <...They always are.>
<Snipe> Watch out, Chris, he's got a mean punch.
* Snipe holds his bleeding shoulder.
<Diamondback> 
* Pulse prepares a huge pulse wave to hit them both with.
<Diamondback> *to Snipe* <You know what to do.>
<Snipe> ....Ugh...alright
* Snipe spins around once and poses dramatically
<Snipe> I fight for truth and love.
<Snipe> And in just one moment, you'll get your ass kicked. So there. *points his fingers at Pulse*
<Pulse> Huh? What's finger pointing suppose to do? *pauses, realizing his psionics has been nulled*
* Diamondback sends energy coursing through his body, a bright purple aura beginning to surround him. He spins around and poses dramatically.
<Diamondback> I fight for peace and justice. And now, you're dead.
* Diamondback releases the energy in one large, solid beam
<Snipe> Hit it, Diamondback!
* Pulse is engulfed, roaring in pain.
<Pulse> ARRGGHHHhhh------*
*** Pulse has left #taw
* Diamondback stops, holding the firing pose
<Diamondback> So there.
<Snipe> Crowd: *stands someways off, watching with mouths dropped at the weird final attack*
<Snipe> ...uh...heh?
* Diamondback shrugs
<Diamondback> * Vodka chitters, running around DB's feet
* Snipe picks up the phone, seeing it's still on
<Diamondback> <...Hey! Buddy!>
<Snipe> Man, I think God built this thing.
* Diamondback kneels down and opens his jacket pocket, which Vodka promptly jumps in
<Snipe> Well, Chris, this has been one interesting trip.
* Diamondback straightens
<Diamondback> <Nothing normal can ever happen around you, can it...>
<Snipe> I just got one question.
<Kimera> 6<5[13Emily5]6> Were you and Chris just immitating Sailor Moon?
* Diamondback looks at Peregrine's dead body
<Snipe> Uh, who, Em?
<Diamondback> <I... wonder what made her do that... she used to be so innocent...>
* Snipe stands next to DB.
<Snipe> I'm sure you'll figure it out.
<Diamondback> <Maybe there's more to the enhanced... than any of us originally thought...>
<Kimera> 6<5[13Emily5]6> Classic young girl's anime... I'm sure that's what you were doing.
* Snipe looks at Chris to see if he knows what Sailor Moon is.
<Kimera> ((*watches the enhanced turn TAW into a highlander ripoff*))
<Diamondback> NRP: I do my best
* Diamondback shrugs
<Snipe> But, like I said, I do have one question left.
<Snipe> Dude, where's my car?
* Snipe looks around.
<Diamondback> <...Uh...>
* Diamondback looks around as well
<Alicia> Shadowy Figure: *is still watching*
* Snipe points directly at the shadowy figure
<Snipe> A-HA!
<Snipe> Weren't expecting THAT, were ya!?
<Alicia> Shadowy Figure: *disappears into the shadows*
<Diamondback> <...Why do they always do that?>
<Diamondback> <Not this time.>
<Snipe> Well, because usually they aren't expecting you to point at them and go "A-HA"
* Diamondback follows the figure
* Snipe follows DB.
<Snipe> Crowd: *is still staring dumbly at the scene of all the insanity*
<Snipe> I wish we had a flashlight. Shadowy figures hate that.
<Diamondback> <We do.>
<Diamondback> <I'm the universe's most powerful psion, remember?>
* Diamondback stands there for a second
<Diamondback> <...Uh...>
<Snipe> ....well, on with the flashing!
<Diamondback> <...Don't rush me!>
<Kimera> ((<DB> *gets nekkid*))
<Snipe> Don't get so excited! You'll ruin the moment.
<Snipe> NRP: I was taking this sexually, too
<Diamondback> <Dammit, I'll get it right when I'm damn well ready.>
<Snipe> Man, you're not even in the right position. Move over some.
<Diamondback> <I'm still trying to recover from the last time.>
<Alicia> Shadowy Figure: *is spotted!* *appears to be a blonde woman in a long coat*
<Diamondback> <...Ah, there we go.> *a beam of light shoots from DB's... hand!*
<Snipe> Man, look at you performing in front of a woman. Sheesh.
<Diamondback> <Sorry, I perform best when I'm being watched.>
<Snipe> That is so like you. Only thinking of yourself in these situations.
<Diamondback> 
<Snipe> I was working on the mood.
<Alicia> Woman: ... you two are hardly what I'd expect when I think of experienced fighters...
* Snipe winks at her.
<Snipe> You'd be surprised.
<Alicia> Woman: Evidently. You're hardly... professional...
<Snipe> That's what throws off our opponents.
<Diamondback> <Ignore him, he tends to get a little weird after a hardcore performance.>
<Snipe> You're the one working on the flashing.
<Alicia> Woman: Telepathic too?
* Snipe crosses arms, studying the woman.
<Diamondback> <So I had to work on getting it out. Some things take time.>
<Snipe> Quit shooting off your load and get back to interrogating the woman!
<Alicia> Woman: *is pretty, in an understated way*
<Snipe> So, who are you and why were you watching us?
* Snipe glances at DB and waves at him
<Snipe> Would you put that away already?
*** Kimera is now known as Hik[AWAY]
<Diamondback> <Huh? Oh, sorry. It's just so invigorating to use it. You wouldn't understand, I guess.> *turns the beam off*
<Snipe> It's just a little thing. Cool your jets.
<Alicia> Woman: I'm Celeste, and I was trailing a killer.
<Snipe> A killer?
<Diamondback> <Don't get so hot under the collar, John.>
<Diamondback> <A killer, eh?>
<Alicia> NRP: I didn't get the thing mixed up, did I?
<Alicia> Woman: You boys seem to have solved the problem yourselves, though.
<Snipe> Oh, that, that was no---th---i
* Snipe looks around, feeling a familiar presence.
<Alicia> Woman: *looks around also*
* Diamondback glances around nervously
* Snipe looks afraid.
<Snipe> I don't like the feeling I'm getting...
<Alicia> Woman: There's nothing more to see here. *starts to walk off*
<Snipe> Wait! ----
* Snipe trails off.
* Snipe notes the familiar presence from before is gone.
<Diamondback> <...Just who are you after, lady?>
<Alicia> Celeste: Who *was* I after...
<Snipe> ...do I know you...?
* Snipe studies her.
<Alicia> Celeste: That's a lame pickup line, and you know it.
<Snipe> No, I *know* you...don't I?
* Snipe looks funny.
* Diamondback blinks
<Diamondback> <Give it up, John, that stopped working about fifteen years ago.>
<Alicia> Celeste: ... I have work to do, stop trying to pick me up. *keeps walking*
* Snipe frowns, but drops it, obviously willing to let it seem he's "just trying to pick up the girl"
<Diamondback> *to Snipe* <You really know her?>
<Snipe> ...I felt like I knew her.
<Diamondback> <Anything is possible, I suppose...>
* Diamondback runs over the list of bounty hunters he's met over the years
* Snipe watches her go.
<Diamondback> <Why don't you go after her? Maybe you really do know her.
<Diamondback> >
* Snipe runs after the girl, hoping she hasn't already left the alley.
* Diamondback teleports onto the roof to watch without being able to hear clearly
<Alicia> Celeste: *is already gone*
<Alicia> NRP: Mostly because I should be getting sleep soon
* Snipe stands there, sighing as a cold wind blows by.
<Snipe> ...I have a feeling this is far from over.

<Snipe> The Alien Wars: The Decade After...
<Snipe> Time Chart: Year 6, October 12th, 2213
<Snipe> Location: Snipe's Cabin
* Snipe swings gently on his swing, having a bottle of whiskey next to him.
*** Lisa is now known as Hotaru-chan
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> *steps outside, her long brown hair tied back in a braid today* Hey... Mind if I join you?
* Snipe shrugs, gesturing at the seat next to him.
<Snipe> Be my guesfr.
<Snipe> (guest)
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> *smiles and sits down, adjusting her skirt as she does so* Haven't had much time to talk to you lately. Been too busy helping Hotaru with the kid.
<Snipe> Heh, a handful I can imagine. Plus I've been busying running around the world doing things. *smirks* So, how are you?
* Snipe takes a sip of whiskey.
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> I've been doing pretty well. Missed you though. It's just not the same without you around.
<Snipe> Heh, I'm sure you girls get along just fine without me.
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> Oh, we can manage. But we still miss you. Just because we're strong, doesn't mean it's not hard without you.
<Snipe> I'm flattered. *rocks back and forth* So, what have you been up to besides helping Hotaru?
<Hikaryuu> 6,1<3[15Emilia Jenius3]6> Keeping in shape with my swordsmanship, I've taken up playing the flute recently. Also keeping in touch with old friends.
<Hikaryuu> (Eep!)
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> Keeping in shape with my swordsmanship, I've taken up playing the flute recently. Also keeping in touch with old friends.
<Hotaru-chan> NRP: * Suddenly, a huge Zentraedi appears!
<Snipe> That's good to hear. *sips his drink again(
* Hotaru-chan quietly heads out of the house, since Michiru's asleep.
<Snipe> Hey, Hotaru.
<Hotaru-chan> Heya.
<Hotaru-chan> Michiru's asleep.
<Hikaryuu> 6,1<3[15Emilia Jenius3]6> ((Stop staring at my chest. Just because I'm an MM...))
<Hotaru-chan> (MM?)
* Snipe swings on the porch with Em.
<Hikaryuu> ((Guess at her bra size))
<Hotaru-chan> (Oh, heh. ^^;;;)
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> *rests against Snipe* "So what have you been up to in your travels...?"
<Snipe> Just visiting old friends and getting into trouble. Just like the old days.
<Hotaru-chan> I wonder how Ariel is...?
<Snipe> I haven't talked to her in years.
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> "Maybe we should have some of our friends over some time. It could be fun."
<Snipe> Could be!
* Snipe takes a big swallow of whiskey, obviously quite tipsy.
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> *looks up at Snipe* "Why drinking so much?"
<Snipe> Because the state of mind it puts you in is quite entertaining.
<Hikaryuu> 6,1<3[15Emilia Jenius3]6> "It kills braincells you know..."
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> "It kills braincells you know..."
<Hikaryuu> 6,1<3[15Emilia Jenius3]6> ((*seems to want into the RPG*))
<Snipe> So I heard, but when you die as much as me, you tend to overlook that.
<Hotaru-chan> (Damn, I can't remember the name of Em's sister... the one that Sera plays, and seems to want Snipe)
<Snipe> (Elayne?)
<Hotaru-chan> .oO(I am *SO* glad Elly isn't here...)
<Snipe> (AAAH, ELLY!)
<Snipe> Yeah, the fact she's gone is awesome. Er, oops, sorry, didn't mean to read your mind.
* Snipe laughs.
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> *Giggles*
* Hotaru-chan giggles too
* Snipe sways his head back and forth, smirking
<Snipe> Six years since we've all gotten together. That's a long time.
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> "You really have to guard your thoughts around here if you don't want them telecast..."
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> "It feels kinda odd, with everyone else getting married and such."
<Snipe> On today's news, Hotaru's thoughts. Stay tuned.
<Hotaru-chan> You want that too?
<Snipe> Marriage? Hmmm.
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> "I just don't think it'd work out..."
<Snipe> It's just a formal title. Just fine someone you really love and spend your days with 'em.
<Hotaru-chan> It would be a little hard to work...
<Hotaru-chan> That works.
* Hotaru-chan smiles.
* Snipe leans back in the swing.
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> "I would love it if it could be done, but we'd need like three ceremonies, and be allowed multiple partners."
* Snipe laughs.
<Hotaru-chan> Or one of us would have to possess the other...
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> "Can you picture a priest saying, 'I now pronounce you Husband and Wife and Wife'."
<Snipe> Possess the other? *squints*
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> *shakes her head* "That wouldn't work out Hota... we'd all be present, but only two of us would count."
<Hotaru-chan> Shame...
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> *smirks* "I'm surprised you haven't learned to possess people John, you were dead too."
<Snipe> I don't know how that would work out.
<Snipe> And as for possessing people, I like me just fine. I'm cool enough.
<Snipe> Even if it's been a while since I've done the *wink wink nudge nudge*
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> "You know... It's kind of odd thinking about it like that. We're all actually on our second life of this lifetime."
<Snipe> Or the forth!
* Snipe laughs at his own private joke.
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> *blinks* "Fourth?"
<Snipe> Weeell, I died by Cain's hand testing Motenk technology in which Dias brought me back. I died again by the virus from Xevil. I died after DS tried ressurecting me. So, this is my forth attempt.
<Hotaru-chan> Pretty impressive...
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> "Wow... I've only been killed by Sigma. But... you're still on your first body, right? Or second?"
<Snipe> Uh, first...?
<Snipe> I think.
<Hotaru-chan> Sigma? Wooh... high ranking death.
<Snipe> Sigma's my bitch. Literally.
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> "Yeah, but he took out a whole unit of us at once..."
<Hotaru-chan> Of course, any of us could wipe the floor with him now.
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> *sticks her tongue out at Snipe*
<Snipe> Well, he calls me mother!
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> "You have to be joking..."
<Snipe> No. Someting to do with fusing with Cipher at one point. I never bothered to ask.
<Hotaru-chan> I think I remember the mavericks going weird...
* Snipe leans back in the swing
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> "That's damn freaky..."
<Hotaru-chan> Isn't it...?
<Hotaru-chan> I guess it shows how far we've come...
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> "It's sorta funny, thinking back to the days before fighting the Tsiv."
<Snipe> Back then I was silly.
<Hotaru-chan> I bet if I met my old self, she'd think I was some kind of goddess...
* Hotaru-chan smirks
<Hikaryuu> 6,1<3[15Emilia Jenius3]6> *laughs* "I'd still be fawning over school girls back then."
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> *laughs* "I'd still be fawning over school girls back then."
<Hikaryuu> (*is too tired* x.x)
<Hotaru-chan> Would you be fawning over me?
<Hotaru-chan> ... I'm hardly a school girl...
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> *smiles* "Maybe if I knew you back then."
* Hotaru-chan giggles.
* Snipe stares
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> *pokes Snipe*
<Hotaru-chan> What's wrong, John? Feeling left out?
<Hotaru-chan> I'm sure we'd both be fawning over you...
<Snipe> Heh.
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> *nods* "I certainly would be."
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> "I never made it into the special forces unit though... just the regulars."
<Hotaru-chan> I was never actually a listed hunter...
<Snipe> Oh?
<Hotaru-chan> I became a sort of vigilante after my... well, family, I guess... was killed.
* Snipe nods understandingly - but then again, he's drunk.
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> <Hey John, can you still see straight?>
<Snipe> Nooope.
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> *giggles and rests her head on his shoulder*
<Snipe> Well, sometimes. But then it realigns itself.
* Snipe gestures.
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> *yawns* "Oh, excuse me. I don't know why I'm so tired..."
<Hotaru-chan> I know why I am...
<Snipe> It could be because it's night
* Snipe gestures at the moon.
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> "But it's still early..."
<Snipe> ...riiiight
<Hotaru-chan> Got something in mind, Em-chan?
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> "I used to be able to stay up until the sun came up before I got tired..."
<Hotaru-chan> Me too...
* Snipe swings back and forth as a cold wind blows by'
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> *shivers*
<Snipe> I like sleeping myself.
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> I think I'm going to have to head to bed soon myself...
* Snipe nods understandlingly - then again, he's drunk
<Hotaru-chan> I might too... you're welcome to join us...
* Snipe perks up at 'join us'?
* Hotaru-chan grins
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> Nothing special tonight... I'm exhausted.
* Snipe shakes head, smirking
<Hotaru-chan> I might not have the energy tonight, either...
<Snipe> You two.
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> *stands up and kisses both Snipe and Hotaru on the cheek* You two are welcome to join me, but all I'm doing is sleeping.
<Snipe> I'll swing tonight.
<Hikaryuu> 6<5[13Emily5]6> Come in if you get cold. *waves a little and heads inside*
*** Hikaryuu is now known as Hik[AWAY]
<Hotaru-chan> I guess I'll be following.
* Hotaru-chan kisses Snipe, then heads inside too

<Seraphna> Aaron> Why you thinking of Aunty an Mommy a lot suddenly?

<Snipe> I don't know.
<Seraphna> *Aaron just blinks, having delved deeper into those thoughts unconciously, this being Snipe, we all get the picture
* Snipe gets the idea and puts up a mental blockade with his anti-psionics.
<Seraphna> Aaron> Why sittin out here all alone?
<Snipe> Looking at the weather.
<Seraphna> *Aaron looks at the sky.
<Leon`> GM: *typical November weather in upper NA*
* Snipe leans back in the swing.
<Seraphna> *Aaron hops down to his shoulder

<Snipe> Uh, ... *Shrugs*
* Snipe stands up, adjusting his black gi he's wearing.
<Seraphna> *Aaron blinks
* Snipe walks out into the middle of the back yard, stretching. The cold doesn't seem to bother him.

* Snipe stretches his neck muscles, standing absolutely still.

<Seraphna> Elayne> Aaron... Snipe?
<Seraphna> *Elayne sits up, stretches, and yawns
* Snipe stands very still.
<Seraphna> *Elayne blinks, "John, do you think I'm a T-Rex?"
<Snipe> Maaaybe. You catgons are weird.
<Seraphna> ELayne> I'm only half catgon you know, and your son is right on your shoulder.
<Snipe> He knows I think he's weird, too. I tell him constantly.
<Seraphna> Aaron> I'm number one! Must be important!
* Snipe teardrops.
<Seraphna> *ELayne looks between them and just giggles
<Snipe> Hey, Aaron, I think I hear
<Snipe> Hey, Aaron, I think I hear #2 calling you.
<Seraphna> *Aaron quirks an ear and then hops up and vanishes, leaving Snipe in the room with Ellie
* Snipe shakes head.
<Seraphna> Elayne> He's like a perfect mixture of you and daddy...
* Snipe quirks an eyebrow.
<Seraphna> Elayne> Well... before daddy changed...
<Seraphna> Elayne> He's innocent and simple at the same time...
<Snipe> Garland's in a league of his own.
<Seraphna> Elayne> I guess... so why'd you come to visit me so early? You usually never do at all...
<Seraphna> *Elayne gets out of bed in her nightgown, heading to her closet
<Snipe> Oh, it was Aaron's idea.
<Seraphna> Elayne> At least you're taking idea's from #1. *giggles*
* Snipe shrugs.
* Seraphna grabs a skirt, blouse and extras from the closet and goes behind a little changing block
<Seraphna> *ELAYNE
* Snipe looks up at the ceiling
<Seraphna> Elayne> How's the weather outside?
<Snipe> Classic November weather.
<Seraphna> Elayne> How do you get classical weather in a world reformed not 20 years sice reformation?
<Snipe> Beats me. Though I have noticed something strange.
* Snipe fiddles with his gi as she dresses
<Seraphna> What's that?
<Seraphna> *Elayne
<Snipe> Oh, trees vanish now and again, but then reappear later. I'll notice it while training.
<Seraphna> Elayne> That's what you get with the world built by a computer...
<Snipe> Oh well. It feels like home.
<Seraphna> *Elayne steps out in a white blouse and blue skirt; mid thigh in length, she smiles and nodds, "It does... I never got to experience it much... I spent most of my 15 years on the old earth in a training facility..."
<Snipe> Oh.
<Seraphna> Elayne> So, up for doing anything today?
<Snipe> Uh, sure, ma---er, uh, training.
<Seraphna> Elayne> Why is my son sending me messages asking what mating is?
<Seraphna> *Elayne grins
<Snipe> Hotaru. I told her to keep quiet on the subject, but you know how she is.
<Seraphna> ELayne> Riiight...
<Seraphna> Elayne> And training with you is like asking to dance in front of a truck...
* Snipe shakes head disapprovingly.
<Seraphna> *Elayne winks.
<Snipe> Dance in front of a truck? What's THAT suppose to mean?
<Seraphna> Elayne> Get smashed.
<Snipe> Hmph.
<Seraphna> Elayne> I'm the daughter of Garland Hianule, I'm used to strong men though. Wanna go for breakfast?
<Snipe> Oh, no, I've eaten. And already had my life threatened. I'll just head outside.
<Seraphna> Elayne> *pouts* But I wanna spend some time with you Johnny...
<Snipe> U-Uh, y-you do?
<Seraphna> *Elayne nodds* Yeah, I do.
<Snipe> Well, we could train, I guess.
<Seraphna> Lemma change out of these nice clothes then...
<Snipe> Okay.
<Seraphna> *Elayne heads for her closet and grabs some sweats, a t-shirt, her hunter jacket, and takes out a box from the back setting it down
* Snipe whistles as he looks around the room
<Seraphna> *The rooms is pretty well settled, one of the beds Snipe made, mattress included with white sheets and a blanket, a simple dresser and a tv set in the corner, she has a desk with a bunch of things scattered all over, pictures of Aaron and Michiru along with almost anyone connected to her throughout all of TGC
* Snipe nods and looks back at Elayne to see if she's ready.
<Seraphna> *Elayne walks out and buckles on her Beam Saber
* Snipe nods, then gestures at the backyard.
<Snipe> Want to teleport us?
<Seraphna> *Elayne smiles and puts a hand on his shoulder, teleporting them to the backyard
* Snipe stands there, his red hair blowing in the cold wind.
<Seraphna> *Elayne ties her own back and walks to the other side of the yard
* Snipe pops his neck.
<Snipe> So, what are the rules?
<Seraphna> ELayne> Hmmm...
<Seraphna> Elayne> Since you get more out of this then me...
<Snipe> I got it.
<Garland> NRP: Everyone has to fight naked, winner gets to have their way!
<Snipe> I'll keep myself at my normal power level.
<Snipe> NRP: Hmmm. Okay.
<Seraphna> ELayne> *blinks* Okay, I guess that works.
* Snipe pops his knuckles, his PL at 400 and his SL at 600.
<Seraphna> NRP: *doesn't even remember her own*
<Garland> NRP: 2 PL / .0008 SL
<Snipe> NRP: Normal: 100 / 90 Next Level: 300 / 350
<Seraphna> NRP: ANd what was Hidden Power?
<Snipe> NRP: I made it part of your Next Level stuff.
<Seraphna> NRP: Cew
* Snipe stretches a few more times, then slides into a defensive position.
<Seraphna> *ELayne gets into a defensive herself, leaving her beam saber away as she slides into her hidden power, taking on the silver glow
* Snipe runs at Elayne, blurring and appearing behind her.
* Snipe leans with his back against her's.
<Snipe> I'll never guess why you stopped training. You could have been one of the elite.
<Seraphna> *ELayne blinks and slides under, teleporting into the air
* Snipe looks up.
<Seraphna> ELayne> I find being a doctor better then a soldier... you should know I don't like fighting...
<Snipe> True.
* Snipe leaps up into the air, throwing a slow punch at her as he falls back to the ground.
<Seraphna> *ELayne holds her hand into the air and mixes Water and electric together for an attack
<Seraphna> *Elayne fires a blast of water and electricity into him as he gets to her height
* Snipe is knocked back, flipping through the air and landing on the ground. He's wet now, his clothes and hair dripping as a cold wind blows by.
* Snipe brushes back his wet hair, looking up at her.
<Seraphna> Elayne> And though I stopped most of my physical training, I never stopped training my mind.
* Snipe cocks an eyebrow
<Snipe> Well, lets see what'll win. Mind over body? OR body over mind.
*** Garland has quit IRC (Quit: I am a hunter of peace, I chase the elusive mayfly known as love.)
<Seraphna> Elayne> Psionics can become more powerful when the train more with thier heads then thier bodies. Mind over Matter actually.
* Snipe hops back and forth between his feet.
<Seraphna> NRP: Mind if I play with a new technique?
<Snipe> NRP: Depends on the technique.
<Seraphna> NRP: A lot of speed
<Leon`> NRP: ehhhh, how much?
<Seraphna> NRP: Too fast to be seen, enought to be faster then Snipe for a single strike, it doesn;t stick
<Leon`> NRP: And how much can she do it?
<Seraphna> NRP: Once or twice before really wearing down
<Leon`> NRP: Alright
<Seraphna> *Elayne gathers a large amount of wind energy together
* Snipe is still waiting
<Seraphna> Elayne> (this is not it) Catch! *Elayne fires three blades of air down at him*
* Snipe sidesteps them, backsteppnig for one.
<Seraphna> *Elayne turns them from the ground to fly at him still
* Snipe leaps to the side, avoiding them again.
<Snipe> Is this some new type of exercise conspiracy, El?
<Seraphna> *ELayne giggles and they keep following his movement
<Seraphna> *Elayne puts her hands back as she lets the wind blades follow him
* Snipe continues to use various tricks to avoid them, obviously not giving them any real "threat" consideration.
<Seraphna> Elayne> KIAMA! *fires a Kiama blast down at him while he's busy dodging and concentrates on the ground under him as well
<Snipe> ..
* Snipe lets himself by hit by the kiama, then gets hit by the wind blades. He stands there, his gi ripped in various places along his chest, but he grins.
<Snipe> (Be)
<Seraphna> Elayne> A distraction technique? *grins at the torn shirt*
<Seraphna> *ELayne then lets the ground burst from under him
* Snipe leaps up as it bursts, landing ten feet away.
<Snipe> Hah!
<Seraphna> Elayne> Hah?
* Snipe diappears, falling from the sky near Elayne. He cups his hands together to hit her, none to gently, but none too hard, against the ehad.
<Snipe> (Head)
<Seraphna> *Elayne blocks with a shield of force, sliding off to the side, and falling to the ground feigning being hit.
* Snipe lands on the ground.
* Snipe runs at the falling Elayne.
* Seraphna flips to her feet
<Seraphna> *ELAYNE
* Snipe throws a kick at her head.
<Seraphna> *Elayne turns on both ends of her beam-saber and sidesteps, slashing at him, it on a stun mode, impacts but doesn't cut
* Snipe raises his arm, letting the saber hit it, throwing out a punch to her throat.
<Seraphna> *Elayne blinks and drops to the ground, sweeping out her feet in a tripping kick
* Snipe leaps up and does a downward kick at her while she's lowered.
<Seraphna> *Elayne teleprts 20 feet away in reaction
<Seraphna> *Elayne pants
<Seraphna> Elayne> You're... fast...
<Snipe> Thanks.
* Snipe gets into a defensive position.
<Seraphna> *Elayne loosens and relaxes her muscles, hopping on one foot, the other lightly tapping the ground
<Snipe> ...?
<Seraphna> *Elayne grins at him, "The Mind is also so quick it can go faster then any other thing alive.
<Snipe> Oh?
<Seraphna> *Elayne suddenly springs, vanishing, her image going out towards him and fading, he can see the groud for an instant burst under her every step, in an instant she passes him, giving him not even a split-second to reach as she slashes in a fly by attack, the breaking lasts going up a tree as it crashes in the other direction, she reappears where she was
<Seraphna> Elayne> Shukuchi.
* Snipe stumbles back.
<Seraphna> *Elayne giggles
<Snipe> What...?
* Snipe looks around, surprised.
<Seraphna> Elayne> Power is not always the neccesity.
<Snipe> Okay, you know what, I got some tricks for YOU.
<Seraphna> Elayne> Oh?
* Snipe faces Elayne.
* Snipe blurs and vanishes from sight.
<Snipe> GM: *suddenly a catgon rams into Elayne's head*
<Seraphna> *Elayne blinks and then stands still defensively, concentrating, feeling out for him, and ACKS!
<Snipe> GM: *the catgon flies back and morphs into Snipe*
<Seraphna> NRP: "And Ranma counters with a Piglet block!"
<Seraphna> *Elayne steps back, "Where'd you leanr that???"
<Snipe> Why, you.
<Snipe> And Hotaru.
* Snipe slides back.
<Seraphna> *Elayne straightens up and starts up the Shukuchi again
* Snipe waits for it.
<Alicia> NRP: Shukuchi?
<Seraphna> NRP: Yup, and yes it's the same one
* Snipe slides back.
<Seraphna> *Elayne goes into it again, altering the technique, going past him without hitting him
<Snipe> What...?
<Seraphna> *Elayne goes up another tree and across four more, and in less then a secon, starts going around him seeming to be completely around him, in the next she strikes from above, stopping nearby, the other three hits all strike so fast they aren;t felt until she stops
<Snipe> ...
* Snipe frowns.
<Seraphna> *Elayne stops, and turns around, standing unsteadily
* Snipe glances at the ripped gi.
<Seraphna> Elayne> Are you a brick wall?
* Snipe looks back up.
<Snipe> Well, that DID hurt!
* Snipe gives her a look
<Seraphna> Elayne> That would have put me in a damn hospital!
* Snipe rotates his arm.
<Snipe> Is THAT how we're playing?
* Snipe blurs behind Elayne and grabs both arms, pulling them behind her back.
<Seraphna> *Elayne gasps and blushes, "Okay okay! I knew they wouldn;t put you down anyway!"
* Snipe holds onto her arms, grinning.
<Snipe> Oh?
<Seraphna> Elayne> Yeah, you were distracting me with the ripped clothes! *giggles, looking up at him*
* Snipe smirks, looking funny
<Snipe> Heh.
<Alicia> NRP: Night
<Seraphna> *Elayne blushes and sighs, "You win, I have less chances of breaking out of your hold then I do of wanting to."
<Seraphna> NRP: Night sisty!
* Snipe lets go, due to the unconscious habbit of rubbing the back of his head.
<Seraphna> *ELayne giggles and gives him a light kiss, "My most powerful attack.
* Snipe grins.
<Seraphna> Elayne> *giggles and relaxes more* You're right, it is a nice day...
* Snipe looks up
<Snipe> Yup
<Seraphna> Elayne> You wanna change that shirt or do I get to admire you all day?
* Snipe shrugs and pulls it off, throwing it over his shoulder
<Seraphna> Elayne> ...Or better yet...
<Snipe> I got plenty of 'em.
<Seraphna> *ELayne grins and hugs him*
* Snipe stiffens, then relaxes and hugs back.
<Seraphna> Elayne> There's no need for that anymore Johnny...
<Snipe> I guess so. *nods*
<Seraphna> Elayne> *giggles* I'm happy just being around you, Hota, and the kids... this place is heaven to me...
<Snipe> It's peaceful alright.
<Snipe> Somedays.
<Seraphna> *Elayne giggles* Well, the kids are kind of hyper at times...
<Snipe> Hrm. Kind of?
<Seraphna> *ELayne> Oh you... I know you like them around. *giggles*
* Snipe gives her a look of "What in the hell are you babbling about?"
<Seraphna> *Elayne giggles, "Okay Johnny... have it your way..."
* Snipe smirks.
<Seraphna> Elayne> *sighs* Well... that technique wore me out...
<Seraphna> Elayne> Wanna get some lunch?
<Snipe> Alright.
* Snipe heads back to the house.
<Seraphna> *ELayne walks back with him
* Snipe steps inside.
<Seraphna> *Elayne follows him, closing the door behind them and heading to the kitchen
* Snipe walks into the kitchen next.
<Seraphna> *Elayne makes some sandwiches
* Snipe watches her.
<Seraphna> *Elayne finishes them with some sense of accomplishment and sits down with one for herself and a plate of three for Snipe
<Seraphna> *Elayne sits next to him
* Snipe munches on them, nodding his thanks.
<Seraphna> *Elayne smiles and gives him a peck on the cheek, eating with him
